“Jennifer was fantastic and took great care of my dog! Would definitely use her again. I used her for drop in visits and she was very trustworthy and I can’t wait to use her again.”
“Andria was amazing!!! I had a few issues and last minute changes and she worked with me no matter what! it’s hard to leave my baby and I can tell how much fun he had with her. She definitely gave me a peace of mind and always sent pictures. I recommend her 100% if you want someone trustworthy and loving to your baby! Andria thank you again! will definitely be re booking”
“Courtney did an amazing job taking care of our dog, Smores, while we were away in Austin. She was incredibly accommodating and took the appointment on short notice, which we truly appreciated. Courtney even came over the night before to meet Smores, which gave us peace of mind. Her communication throughout was excellent, and she came over twice to let Smores out as planned. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely call on her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Erica is the absolute best there is!! She truly cares about what she does and it shows. Our dogs absolutely love her and we couldn’t be happier leaving them in her care while we are out. We completely trust her and that’s the best thing we could ask for. Having someone so reliable and dependable is such a gift to us! We are truly thankful for all she does! 😊”
“Mandy was great! She spent quality time with our slightly nutty mutt and we felt confident that he was being well cared for. Will definitely use Mandy in the future.”
“Genniver was amazing with our pups. She arrived on time, sent a lot of pictures and kept us updated. She was also very flexible with our schedule unexpectedly changing.”
“John is the best! He took great care of our cats, including one with diabetes. He handled the injections like a pro and kept everything running smoothly. Highly recommend him!”
“Jessica fulfilled a last minute request for me to drop in on Bella. She was responsive and provided excellent service. She also provided several pictures. I would use her again!”
“Fantastic work as always! My cats were treated with the utmost care and attention while I was away on a week-long work trip. It's such a stress relief knowing they are taken care of so I can keep focused”
“Katherine & Sudeep took care of my two cats and exceeded my expectations! I usually count on friends and neighbors who fly in & out within a few minutes and often leave the crusty, dirty cat food dishes for me clean upon return. From the meet & greet, I was already impressed with their focus on getting to know my "girls," finding out my routines & concerns, and letting me know what they needed from me. Sudeep is the declared cat whisperer and within seconds of walking in the door, he was down on the floor with my younger flirty feline. My shy girl warmed up to them quickly, easily evidenced by the fun photos I received each day. They spent time on the floor cuddling, brushing, feeding treats and making great friends. The litterbox was changed often and there were no messes for me to clean up upon my return. Katherine & Sudeep make a great, reliable team and I will happily pay for their help the next time--their quality is worth my peace of mind.”
“Great with our pups. Cole play with our pups every visit n dedicated extra time to our pups Milo and coco love every visit. Thank you for taking care of our pups I would recommend.”
About: I have always been an animal lover but I really started getting into taking care of animals in high school. My first job was at Country Friends Vet Clinic. During that time I got my CVA 1 certification(certified veterinary assistant) and I ended up working for them until I graduated high school(an amazing 2 1/2 years!). During my high school years I adopted two cockatiels named Ollie and Speckles. They became my bestest little friends. It was then that I realized I loved taking care of pets. My senior year of high school I also ended up adopting a Leopard Gecko I named Hikari! She loves watching top gun😂. I then moved out to college and got my Bachelor’s Degree while working as an Operating Room technician at Texas A&M Small Animal Hospital. I also recently(Nov. 2024) earned my RECOVER Basic Life Support Certification. It was in college that I got my first pup, Atreides. She was my soul dog and I loved her to bits. Three years later I adopted my Belgian Malinos, Azula, to give her a friend. I also found out that I love training dogs and so I spend most of my free time seeing what crazy things I can teach my pups! After Atreides passed, I adopted another German Shepherd in honor of her, a puppy named Ashoka. She is my little shadow and always makes sure I’m taken care of. All of this is to say I have tons of experience with high energy pups and I don’t forget the small animals! I am a full time college student so during the school year I might have a little more limited of a schedule but if I’m free I’ll definitely be able to swing by to check on your fur babies! I will also have more time on weekends to care for your pets. I am a big fan of always having something stimulating for your pet to do! Whether that is playing with toys, doing enrichment toys, or training basic obedience I like to make sure I am doing something exciting with your pet! With all that play I always remember to provide water in this Texas heat. While taking care of your fur babies I will feed, walk, play and clean up after them so you don’t have to worry when you are away! I also love exotics!(I have two cockatiels and a leopard gecko)
“Araceli is a wonderful puppy sitter. She has been very attentive with Sophie and ensures she receives everything she needs (including her water from the fridge since it’s cold 😅). I appreciate all of the things that seem small, but are a huge help in the end (like meeting Sophie ahead of her first drop in and bringing in some packages left at the door).”
“Matt was awesome! He was super communicative about how our pets were doing and was able to come at the last minute when our previously scheduled sitter had an emergency.”
“Wonderful caregivers! My GSD and kitty were pampered while I was out of town and I couldn’t have been more happy with who was in my home. Amazing service and will absolutely use again (:”
“Sophie was absolutely wonderful with Goose! She was very caring, attentive, and clearly has a natural love for animals. I felt at ease knowing he was in such good hands while I was away. I truly appreciated her thoughtful updates and the way she took the time to make Goose feel safe and comfortable. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who genuinely cares!”
“Julie did a phenomenal job with our two cats. She is quick to respond and follows through with what she says. I would highly recommend her to anyone and everyone.”
“Second time around she take care of our puppy and we are super happy for it. Definitely someone that takes really good care of our dog and the mess that out puppy makes at the house. Will count with her anytime.”

Thousand Oaks pet parents share their Rover experiences
I had the pleasure of having Jenna take care of my dogs, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She did an amazing job—truly going above and beyond to make sure my dogs were well cared for, comfortable, and happy while I was away. It’s not easy to find someone you can trust with your pets, but she made it easy with her kindness, professionalism, and genuine love for animals. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and caring pet sitter. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my pups!
Cole was AMAZING! He took great care of our 5 cats, including one who is diabetic and needed twice daily shots and another who is elderly and deaf with special feeding. He did way more than was required of him and was super responsive and helpful. We absolutely recommend Cole!
Katie was awesome with our 2 kitties!! She happily came by before the scheduled booking to meet them and so I could walk her thru their routines. Katie was very communicative and took great care of our cats while we were out of town. She was always on time, went above and beyond to clean up a mess my cat spilled, and gave them plenty of love while we were away. Definitely would book with her again in the future, and I absolutely recommend her to anyone!
We were looking to board our dogs but the expense was above our budget and because our three pups can be a handful sometimes and are not very sociable boarding was out. Someone told me to check out Rover for a house sitter to watch our dogs in our house. We were skeptical at first because we never heard of Rover and house sitting dogs. Anyway I searched the adds on Rover and found Julie, she had lots of 5 star reviews, many return customers and lived somewhat close to us. I got in contact with her and she stopped by to say hello and set up an hour to meet and greet our dogs. She was right on time and very confident she would have no problems with our dogs, turns out she was right. She handled our dogs like the seasoned professional she is, it was very impressive. we're very thankful to find her and I would certainly recommend her to anyone looking for an alternative to boarding, we intend on using her many times in the future
Sarah treats our pets like her own, and we couldn’t be more grateful! She always provides detailed Rover card updates and sends plenty of photos, which truly makes us feel connected and at ease while we’re away. We also really appreciate the thoughtful extras—like bringing in packages or handling our trash cans. It’s clear she goes above and beyond every time!
Thank you for watching the boys again! We have such peace of mind with Liz watching our cats while we travel. She provides great updates and makes sure the cats are safe and get lots of love. I also appreciate that she goes above and beyond to check on the house too. Thank you again!
