“Thank you Lindsey for caring for our fur babies while we were away! Our pups can be a bit of a handful, but she gave them so much love and fun while we were away. We were sent multiple pictures each day of them on adventures and it made us so happy!”
“Zeni was great. She took wonderful care of our dog for a whole week while we were away. She was also very communicative, sending us daily updates. We look forward to working with her again and would definitely recommend her to anybody!”
“Lena took great care of our pup and home. She’s thoughtful, communicative, and responsible. She went above and beyond to share updates and make sure our pup wasn’t bored while we were away.”
“Michael took great care of my dog Mochi and my house. He's friendly and very easy to talk with about dog things and beyond. He graciously accepted my last minute request to house sit, and followed my detailed instructions for Mochi's routine. I'll definitely ask him to house sit for Mochi again.”
About: I've done it all — puppy chaos, senior snuggles, and everything in between. With 20+ years of hands-on experience and dogs I've raised myself, I know what your pet needs. I work a flexible full-time schedule from my home where I can care for your pet and take breaks to walk and play with them. If your pet is more comfortable in their own home, I am available to sit them there as my daytime job is remote. I am tidy and leave every space the same (if not better) than when I entered. Your pet's comfort and safety are my top priority. Having grown up in a home where dogs of all sizes were cherished family members, I understand how to read a pet's needs and create a calm, secure environment. I've personally raised and trained my own dogs from puppyhood through their senior years, so I'm experienced in adapting care routines to each stage of life. In my home, pets are never an afterthought — they're treated with the same patience, attention, and love I'd want for my own family members (human or otherwise). 🧡
“Emily was absolutely amazing with Furby! She was kind, patient and attentive to his needs during our 5 night stay for in-house sitting. We especially appreciated her sending us text updates and pictures throughout the stay. Emily was very responsive, kept to Furby’s schedule, and we can tell that Furby really enjoyed his time with her! Finally, we felt good about having Emily taking care of the house and would absolutely recommend her for walks and overnights to anyone!”
About: Caring for animals has always been more than a job to me—it's something I'm genuinely passionate about. Your fur babies deserve all the attention and love and I'm here to make sure they recieve that! I have hands-on experience caring for puppies, kittens, adult dogs and cats. I am comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, transporting pets to veterinary appointments, monitoring their health, and communicating any concerns promptly with owners. Beyond basic pet care, I have experience with bathing, brushing, nail trimming, feeding routines, potty training reinforcement, and helping young puppies and kittens adjust to new environments. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I take the time to build trust so they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. What truly sets me apart is the level of care and attention I provide. I don't see pets as just animals—I treat every fur baby like a member of my own family. Whether it's playtime, cuddles on the couch, long walks, enrichment activities, or simply providing companionship, I make sure each pet receives individualized care tailored to their needs. My goal is for pet parents to have complete peace of mind knowing their beloved companion is being cared for by someone who genuinely adores animals and treats them with the same love, patience, and dedication they would receive at home. I strive to create an experience where both pets and owners feel comfortable, confident, and excited to book with me again. I work full time however I’m free on Tuesday and Wednesday. On those days, I can come over play/house sit your pet, give them bathes, feed them, and make sure they’re taken care of. I can also take them out on walks. Since I only offer house sitting in your home, precautions/rules that you set in place for your pet will be what is enforced. I will make sure to constantly keep an eye on your pet, record anything going on to inform you, make sure they don’t hurt themselves, and keep the gate up (if there is any)
About: Hi I’m Serena! I’m currently in my master’s program at CSULB! I work hard and give so much love to every single one of my client’s fur babies depending on all their needs. I've grown up with 5+ dogs in my lifetime and taken care of dogs and cats of every kind and size since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me with their pets while they were on vacation to walk, feed, and administering their medication (both orally and injections) to their pets. I've taken animal CPR and have lots of experience with senior care with three senior dogs. I’m current attending college at CSULB but I am available in the mornings and evenings for drop in visits. For overnight or extended stays I am available Sunday-Saturday. I will care for them in your home and follow the instructions given to feed and drop in visits. If they are allowed outside, I will go outside with them and keep an eye on them both day and night. I will never let them outside on their own due to safety reasons. If discussed and allowed to housesit, I will keep your pets company for hours doing my quiet hobbies (Reading, drawing, etc.) since my pets tend to dislike being alone in the house for long periods of time.
“Kim is FANTASTIC!!! She was so communicative and really took the time to get to know my dogs. She even won over my fearful rescue in record time. Thank you, Kim!”
“Christopher looked after our kids for 9 days and my old Great Dane just fell in love !! The young ones kept him quite busy and he diligently took care of each with a warm heart and lots of love hugs and kisses to all the fur babies . Absolutely fantastic to know you can rely on such a competent and friendly dog sitter like him. Got home today and my kids was over the moon .. Definitely a 5👌🏼in our books ..”

Surfside pet parents share their Rover experiences
Amanda kept me updated on Kelly’s daily routine, including her walks, feeding schedule, and relaxation time. She also sent photos of Kelly throughout her stay, which gave me peace of mind and reassured me that Kelly was happy and well cared for. I would definitely book with Amanda again and highly recommend her.
Lindsey was wonderful! She was so patient, caring, and loving with our girl. As pet owners, it can be nerve-racking to trust someone new with both your home and your pet, but Lindsey went above and beyond to put us at ease. Her communication, kindness, and genuine care made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. We would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.
We’ve booked Sarah several times and trust her wholeheartedly with our two rescues while we’re out of town. She is so great with them, mindful of our training lifestyle, and respectful of house rules. She communicates frequently and leaves our place spotless upon return. If you want peace of mind while you are out of town, we highly recommend Sarah!
Kim was an amazing dog sitter! She was extremely communicative, sent plenty of updates about my sweet girl and my little Halia looked very happy and well cared for. Kim is very trustworthy and her friendly, warm personality is a pleasure to work with. I am so thankful to have found Kim as my new care taker for my doggie. I don’t trust many dog sitters and she is the best!
Melia is the most incredible dog and house sitter I have ever worked with. Our dog is extremely difficult and terrified of people. Melia’s manner was so gentle that our dog took to her immediately. She clearly has true empathy for animals and deep understanding of how to care for them. I won’t go into the story here, but she essentially saved our dog’s life while we were out of town. My gratitude for Melia is boundless after this incident. Additionally, the house was spotless when we arrived home. Melia truly goes above and beyond all expectautons!
