“Marketta did an amazing job taking care of our 2 dogs while we were away. She is very trustworthy, responsive and caring. It’s nice to know our dogs were in great hands! We highly recommend her and can’t wait to have her watch our pups again!”

Abigail G.

“Great experience! We loved all the updates and pictures she sent, and how closely she followed our care instructions. Bean seemed like he had the best time - he was so tired and fell asleep right when we got home. Will definitely book Alyssa again!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life, and caring for them has always brought me joy. I’ve helped family, friends, and neighbors with their pets by walking, feeding, bathing, and giving lots of love along the way. At home, I have two sweet cats, one a rescued stray and the other was the runt of his litter, who’ve taught me patience, compassion, and how every animal deserves special care. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a senior dog who needs gentle attention, or a shy kitty who warms up slowly, I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Because I work part-time, I have lots of extra time to spend with furry friends. I’m available most weekdays and on weekends for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays. I also keep my calendar updated so pet parents can book with confidence. If you ever need last minute care, feel free to reach out I’ll always do my best to help. My home is cozy and pet-friendly, with plenty of space for play and rest. I also share it with my two sweet cats, who are very gentle and welcoming with other animals. If a pet prefers their own space, I can easily separate them to make sure everyone feels comfortable. I believe in treating pets like family. I’ll provide them with lots of cuddles, belly rubs, playtime, and frequent potty breaks to keep tails wagging and whiskers happy.

“Once again, Julia did a fantastic job of taking care of the home front while I was travelling. Thomas was a happy cat when I returned home and the house was well attended to. Julia, thank you for all you do!”

“Gina was an amazing caregiver to my older diabetic Yorkie and young cat! She took such great care of them and my house. And also sent thoughtful updates and pics. I will definitely be using her services again.”

Melissa F.

“Absolutely fantastic. She House/Cat sat for us and was very communicative, sent lots of photos, gave us many updates, and left the house immaculate. We can tell if a cat sitter hasn’t done their job because our cat gets stress dreadlocks. Our cat was incredibly happy and his coat was perfect when we got home. She also took him on his leash walks which made him extra happy. Highly recommended.”

Jessica O.

“Yarira was so fantastic with our pup. She sent so many pictures and went above and beyond to make sure he was a happy boy. We’ll definitely be asking her to come pet sit again!”

About: I’ve spent the last 11+ years caring for a wide range of animals — from energetic puppies to senior cats, to birds, turtles, and even large-breed dogs. Growing up surrounded by animals and now caring for my own dog and cat, I’ve always had a natural connection with pets and a deep sense of responsibility for their wellbeing. Before joining Rover, I provided private pet sitting and walking for family friends, neighbors, and referrals for many years. I’ve worked with shy pets, playful pets, anxious pets, and pets with unique routines. I’m patient, gentle, attentive, and quick to recognize what an animal needs to feel safe and comfortable. I’m confident with different temperaments and sizes, and I genuinely love spending time with animals — ensuring they get affection, stimulation, consistency, and reliable care while their families are away. Whether it’s a long walk, a calm cuddle session, or maintaining a specific routine, I always tailor my care to each pet’s personality. I treat every animal as if they were my own, and I always keep communication clear and consistent so you feel fully at ease while you’re away. My pets mean the world to me, and I treat yours with that same degree of love. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life since I care for my own dog and cat daily. I work full-time on weekdays from roughly 8:30am–5pm, but I’m available for morning and evening walks, check-ins, and plenty of quality time before and after work. On weekends, I’m fully available for drop-ins, walks, and house sitting. For house sitting, I make sure pets get a consistent morning routine before I leave and lots of attention, walks, and playtime once I’m home in the evening. Many clients find that this schedule matches their own workday, creating a comfortable and predictable routine for their pets. Pet care is something I truly enjoy, so I build it naturally into my daily rhythm and keep communication open so you always know how your little one is doing. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, safety and comfort are always my first priority. When I’m in your home, I follow your routines exactly as you outline them, from feeding schedules to walk routes to household boundaries. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, sensitivities, and comfort levels so I can make the experience as stress-free and familiar as possible. I’m very attentive to doors, gates, harnesses, and leashes, and I always double-check that your home is secure before I leave. I keep a calm, gentle presence so pets feel safe around me, and I’m mindful of their body language to make sure they’re comfortable with any interaction. Clean water, a tidy litter box, a clean feeding area, and a predictable routine are things I’m consistent about every visit. If I’m house sitting, I treat your home with the same respect and care I’d want for mine. I maintain a clean environment, follow all instructions closely, and keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I handle unexpected situations calmly and communicate clearly so you feel confident and informed at all times. Overall, I prioritize trust, communication, and creating a peaceful, safe environment where your pet can relax and feel cared for — just like they would with you.

About: Hi, my name is Jaspreet; I also go by Jassie. I’m excited to join Rover because I love animals. My services include dog sitting, providing exercise and companionship to ensure their well-being. I’m dedicated to creating a safe, fun, and comfortable environment for every dog in my care. I’m working part time right now. My schedule is pretty flexible where I can work around it and fit my clients schedule if needed to take care of their pet. I make sure the pet feels comfortable around me. I can meet the clients and their pet beforehand so they can get to know me. I follow their feeding schedule and take them for walks and make sure they’re well taken care of.

About: Hi! I’m Nadya - a passionate animal lover with years of experience in dog walking and pet sitting. I had my own company "Leashwalks" for 3 years while living in NYC and doing it as a full time job. I treat every pup like family and make sure they feel loved, safe, and happy while you’re away. 🐶💕 When house sitting, I follow your pet’s routine closely, give plenty of walks, playtime, food and water, medicine if needed, and lots of cuddles. I will also keep your home clean and respected, as it's my own - water plants, get the packages in, clean up. I’m also a photographer, so I may occasionally step out for local shoots (mostly at the beach), but never for too long (6-7 hours max) -sometimes I have shoots in Malibu so the drive can just take longer that expected - but your dog’s comfort and safety always come first. And as a thank-you gift, I’d love to take a beautiful photo of your pup during my stay, if you are ok with it! Looking forward to meeting your furry friend! Pet care is an essential part of my daily routine. While I may step away for 4-7 hours at most for photography shoots, the rest of the time I'll be at your home, editing photos and spending time with your pup. I make sure to walk your dog 3-4 times a day, giving them plenty of exercise, attention, and love throughout the day. In your home, I make sure your pet feels comfortable by sticking to their routine - providing walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I ensure their safety and well-being while keeping your home tidy and secure.

About: I have experience as a dog groomer and years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats. I also shared 15 amazing years with my own dog, which taught me patience, responsibility, and how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved, and understood. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate time and attention to pet care throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits and sitting, and I always make sure pets get consistent care, attention and companionship as part of my daily routine. I’m very attentive to safety and comfort, and I make sure pets feel secure and well cared for in their home. I respect routines, follow instructions closely and always treat pets with patience and care.

“Bradey watched our reactive dog for a bit, and was awesome! She was so patient with him when meeting, as he is super scared of strangers and is anxious/barks a ton when meeting somebody new. She followed our directions perfectly, was super communicative about everything/gave us updates, and our dog warmed up to her much quicker than he usually does to strangers. We really appreciate it, Bradey!”

About: Apart from always growing up with dogs as a kid, as an adult I have had experience with caring for bigger more high maintenance dogs like English Bulldogs and Labs/Pitbulls since they were puppies. I’d like to think that even the timid dogs eventually warm up to me! I currently have two dogs whom I love unconditionally and have always given that same love to other dogs I have watched in the past. I work remotely so watching your pets at your home is not a problem! My schedule is very flexible and can adapt to your babies’ needs! Considering I have two big dogs myself who are strong and likes to pull, I am always aware or my surroundings when walking them and put their safety first. I will do the same for your furry pets and make sure they are supervised and safe.
