“Arica has been extremely helpful and caring for all of our animals. When she checks in on our two cats she is easy to communicate with, always sends great photos, and shows them lots of love. When we first started working with her caring for our elderly dog, she was extra attentive and took extra steps to make sure he received the help he needed. We really appreciate her kindness towards our animals and the kindness she showed us when our dog crossed the rainbow bridge. If you're looking for a new sitter, we highly recommend working with Arica.”
“Any is amazing! She’s reliable, caring, and my dogs adore her. She plays with them in the yard, gives them tons of love, and follows all my directions perfectly. I always feel at ease knowing they’re in her hands!”
“Jaime was amazing! He took great care of our two dogs, Rocky and Sky, while we were on vacation. He kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. You can tell he truly cares about animals—both Rocky and Sky were happy and well cared for when we returned. The house was just as we left it, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. We’d definitely trust Jaime again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable person.”
“Casey was so detailed when caring for our dogs. She really went above and beyond. You can definitely tell she is a dog person. I’m really glad we found someone trustworthy and reliable to care for our 3 dogs and we’ll be using her when we go away again.”
“Douglas is extraordinary. Truly, I have never felt more comfortable having a sitter in my home taking care of my kitties. He displayed high professionalism, kindness, and dedication to this job and animals. During the meet and greet he was very personable, asked questions, and we could tell he was incredibly knowledgeable about cats. I requested extra photos, and he went above and beyond, even sending me videos and giving me updates during the sit and not just via the Rover Card! I left very detailed notes, and he did every single thing I asked for, even opening and closing my curtains for my plants! My kitties LOVED him. I've never seen them warm up to a new person SO quickly, especially my male cat, who is usually broody and will hide. Not only did he not hide, but he took treats from Douglas!! I am very impressed by Douglas and his work ethic, not only meeting the needs of my kitties and caring for them with compassion but also exceeding my expectations (which is admittedly VERY hard to do lol.) He was extremely communicative and took extra measures to make sure my kitties AND myself were comfortable. I cannot emphasize how relieved and worry-free I was during my camping trip, where I didn't have service most of the time. I was not stressed at all, knowing they were in good hands, which has never happened with a sitter before. Even sitters I trusted, I still worried. We have had several sitters over the years and none of them even come close to Douglas. If you're not booking with him, you're crazy. He is a MUST HAVE and I will never book with anyone else again (desperately praying that he will always be available lmao.) I'm so incredibly grateful to him!!!!”
About: Pet care is not just a job for me but a full time career. I have completed pet care coursework; a history caring for those with special needs, internal connections with PetSmart Inc professionals, and daily care for my beloved 5 dogs & 5 cats. I’m currently available weekdays and weekends willing to accommodate client’s busy schedules. I have graduated from school and ready to work full time caring for domesticated animal breeds. I have a very clean and spacious suburban home with one small indoor cat and one small dog. No children. Smoke free. Outdoor security camera present. *** I am very comfortable working in all types of client environments.
About: I always take priority in trying to get tailored to any dog’s personality, 24/7 contact with the owner to make them more comfortable, and I make sure they have an accessible source of water. Even though I’m currently in college right now I am looking after my 2 cats and 2 dogs with not much to do all day. I usually take my two dogs on a walk in the early mornings after they have their breakfast and one in the afternoon I also do checks if they need to use the restroom by taking them out for about 10 minutes. With my cats I feed them in the morning, play with their favorite toys, and most of the time just hangout together either petting them and sometimes talking.
About: I’ve always loved animals and I have animals myself so I have experience handling and giving medication to cats and dogs. I would love to give love and attention to your fur babies. As I look for a full time job as a veterinary assistant. I will have plenty of time to look after your fur babies and give them all the love and support that they need. As I care for your pets whether I am dropping in or going for a walk. I will make sure they have water, food, lots of attention. I would take care of them as I do with my own.
About: I have a deep love and respect for every pet I care for. I adopted a sick puppy, and through patience and nurturing, he has blossomed into a beloved member of my family. This experience has taught me the profound bond that can develop between a pet and their caregiver, highlighting the importance of kindness and understanding in every interaction. I’ve also gained experience by showing care and compassion to animals in need around me, making sure they feel safe and comfortable. Each animal has its own unique personality and needs, and I strive to create a warm and welcoming environment for them all. My commitment to treating every pet with compassion ensures they feel loved and secure while in my care. I work remotely as a freelancer, which gives me the flexibility to integrate pet care into my daily routine seamlessly. This allows me plenty of time to spend with furry friends, playing, cuddling, and ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve. My schedule enables me to provide a nurturing and engaging environment, ensuring that every pet feels comfortable and cared for throughout the day. When caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I prioritize their safety and comfort above all else. I follow their food schedule diligently to ensure they maintain a healthy routine. Engaging with pets through playtime and interactive activities is essential, as it keeps them stimulated and happy. Since I do not have pets of my own, I can provide a safe and distraction-free environment for them. Living in an apartment allows me to easily take them for walks outside in green areas, where they can explore and enjoy some fresh air. If needed, I can safely crate pets to provide them with a secure space to relax. My home is a welcoming environment filled with love and attention, ensuring every pet feels safe and at ease. Building trust is key, and I take the time to understand each pet's unique personality and needs, creating a positive experience for both them and their owners.
“Alyson watched my cat when I was out of town for a long weekend and was great! Teddy was happy and well fed when I came home. The process was seamless and Alyson clearly knew what she was doing given she has cats of her own. She also sent great pics of Teddy which helped me missing him!”
About: I have two cats of my own and have helped care for both family dogs and friends’ cats over the years. I’m experienced with feeding, walking, litter box cleaning, and giving lots of love and attention! Pets tend to warm up to me quickly, and I always make sure they feel safe and cared for. I also have plenty of photos of the pets I’ve cared for to show the happy moments we’ve shared. I’m a college student currently studying biochemistry with a strong love for both cats and dogs. Pet care brings me joy, and with summer here, I’m only in school part-time. This gives me the flexibility to care for your pets Thursday through Sunday. I’m dedicated, dependable, and excited to give your pets the attention and affection they deserve. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet I care for. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely and respect your space. I’m attentive to details like feeding schedules, medication, and preferred activities. While I don’t have dogs of my own, I have two friendly cats and a clean, pet-safe space. Whether in your home or mine, your pet will be treated like family.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for around 5 years, providing dependable help to neighbors and friends. I’m experienced in feeding, walking, and bathing pets of all sizes and temperaments. Whether it’s daily care or just keeping your pets company, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and well looked after! I currently work part-time, but remotely, which means I am available any time, any day to give your pets the full attention they truly deserve! I only offer pet care in my client’s home, where your pets feel most comfortable and secure in their own space. I always follow your instructions carefully and stick to your pet’s usual routine to help reduce stress while you’re away. I make sure your home stays clean, your pets are safe, and their needs are met with love and attention. You can also expect regular check-ins and photo updates for peace of mind!
“Nicole is experienced with critters, operates in a professional manner, is friendly, prompt, thorough, and gave our pets extraordinary care. The notifications of check-ins were awesome and the notes provided by Nicole were full of detail which included numerous photos. Since the pups are elderly, they needed multiple walks a day. Nicole and her fiancé, Arif, did a wonderful job of taking care of them. She even left us a card with printed photographs we will surely frame and display on the mantle. We are in the process of rebooking with Nicole. Thank you, Nicole and Arif. It’s nice to know you and look forward rebooking. I highly recommend. Five stars!”

Gus
“I wholeheartedly recommend Gus as a responsible, trustworthy, caring pet sitter who loves animals. He has looked after our 2 dogs & 2 cats when we have gone on vacation. He regularly feeds them, makes sure they have water and lots of pets. He walks the dogs every day, cleans up after them and changes the cat litter. He is the BEST pet sitter ever!”
America C.
“I am pleased to recommend America for a dog walking and pet care position through Rover. As a graduate of a Veterinary Assistant program, America brings a strong background in animal care, along with the professionalism, compassion, and reliability that pet owners value and trust. America has consistently demonstrated her natural connection with animals, as well as her ability to handle a wide range of situations with calmness and care. Her veterinary training gives her a solid understanding of animal behavior, basic medical needs, and emergency preparedness—skills that set her apart from typical pet care providers. Whether walking dogs, feeding, administering medications, or simply providing companionship, America approaches each responsibility with dedication and heart. Her attention to detail, clear communication, and warm demeanor make her an ideal candidate for pet owners looking for someone they can rely on. She is respectful of clients’ homes, attentive to specific pet needs, and always goes the extra mile to ensure both the pets and their owners feel secure and happy. America would be an exceptional addition to the Rover community, and I have no doubt she will build lasting relationships with the pets and families she serves. Please feel free to reach out with any questions regarding her qualifications or experience.”

Sycamore Canyon Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
Kate is a great pet sitter! The day before leaving town I realized everyone would be gone all day, and my three pets would need some attention. Kate was quick to respond to my request, and was exactly on time for the appointment we set. It was such a relief to find someone responsible and personable to entrust my home and animals with and I could tell from the photos my pets were very happy to spend the time with her. I can recommend Kate with high confidence she'll be a reliable and loyal caretaker.
Nicole was absolutely amazing! This was one of my first experiences using Rover and my first time leaving my kitten, Mylo, for a few days so I was a little nervous—but she made everything so easy and stress-free. She was super communicative and sent the sweetest updates, photos, and videos during each visit, which really helped me feel at ease while I was away. As a first-time cat mom, I also really appreciated how knowledgeable she was—she shared great advice and recommendations that were genuinely helpful. On top of how well she cared for Mylo, she was also so respectful and thoughtful in my home, which made me feel completely comfortable having her come by to check on him. I can’t thank her enough and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!
