“Jo was incredible and took such great care of our dog while we were away. She was very responsive and kept us well informed on how our dog was doing. We would definitely have her watch our dog again!”

“Kat took amazing care of our buddy, and we appreciate her so much!! We loved all the pics and Kat was very consistent with providing updates on how he was doing. We feel safe and confident in working with Kat!”

“Truly one of the sweetest souls who will care for your babies like they’re her own! She would send pics throughout the day and update me while I was gone for a week and that helped alleviate my anxiety so much!”

“Cassie was very communicative and sent lots of photos during her time with my pup Stanley. She was knowledgeable about dog safety, temperament and training, and asked great questions during our meet & greet. Stanely had a great time chilling and cuddling with Cassie.”

“Caroline was wonderful. Our pup got sick while we were gone and she was always on top of it. Got her to the vet and picked up her meds and also administered them. Would highly recommend.”

“We love Jade! She is absolutely incredible and made me feel as if I never left my baby. She provided updates and sent plenty of beautiful pics. My babygirl loved her and brought her so much joy while I was away. We will be booking again and again!”

“We were so happy with how well Tracy did with our two cats. Our boy kitty, who has always been exceptionally shy around guests and especially sitters, warmed up to cuddle with her very quickly. Tracy was very respectful of our space too, which has an overwhelming amount of specialized gear. We returned home to very happy, comfortable cats, who wanted to cuddle immediately, something which never has happened with sitters that we've had before. Tracy also gave very detailed updates about the goings on of both our cats as well. Highly recommended and if we are lucky, we will definitely book with her again.”

“Tiaira is very communicative and took great care of my two senior dogs. She always sent photos whenever the dogs were fed or given their meds. I highly recommend her!”

“Maree was a great dog sitter! She genuinely cared for my pups and spent quality time with them and followed my instructions. She was very communicative and responsible. Highly recommend!”

“Had a last minute need for a sitter and Eilythia was amazing, she was able to house sit and took care of them like they were hers. Will definitely be booking with her again”

“IULIIA was wonderful with our puppy, Bob. He had no accidents in the house, as he is in potty training. She played with him a lot, and he was a very happy puppy when we came home. She followed instructions and she was on time, and very nice. We will use her again! Thank you!”

“LaTamarra took incredible care of both my dog and cat as a drop in visit sitter. She came by 2-3 times a day while playing, walking, and feeding both of my fur babies. She sent frequent updates via texts, videos, and pictures. She was very responsible and I felt secure knowing that my pets were in good hands while I traveled. I highly recommend LaTamarra as a pet sitter and am grateful I found her!”

Universal City pet parents share their Rover experiences
Kody is wonderful!! She was so sweet and understanding with my rescue pups. They loved her and were very well taken care of. Even my shyboy, who sometimes won't let anyone put a leash on him warmed right up to her and enjoyed his walks. She kept in great touch with me, sending pics and updates so I was in the loop, and I came home to find them happy and calm. Thanks so much Kody!!!

Kat is an exceptional professional - the dog sitter of dreams. In addition to taking such excellent care of Nora, Kat truly accelerated Nora’s training in a matter of days, and taught us more about how to best care for our recently arrived beloved pup. You would be so lucky for Katherine to mind your pets 💜

Cassie did another amazing job caring for Indy! She was able to navigate a chaotic day with movers and lots of commotion, managing to keep Indy calm and balanced! We can’t thank her enough for her loving care! We highly recommend Cassie and will definitely use her again when we need a trustworthy and caring pet sitter for Indy! She is truly exceptional!!

Van was absolutely amazing with my Frenchie, Bruno. From the start, her communication was outstanding—she was very responsive and kept me constantly updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Bruno was well cared for, happy, and comfortable in her care. I truly appreciated how attentive and thoughtful she was throughout the entire stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Van again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and communicative to care for their dog.

Cassandra stayed at our place for ~1 week to take care of our senior dog while we were traveling. It was clear our dog was well cared for as was our home! Communication before and during our trip was prompt and thorough. We appreciated her attention to details. We would love to have her back in the future!

Ashley was absolutely the best! She took amazing care of our cat, kept us consistently updated, and gave us total peace of mind while we were on vacation. It was clear our cat was happy and well cared for the entire time. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter—10/10 would highly recommend!

We could easily tell Kit loved her time with Dora with the bounty of beautiful photos and videos we were sent daily. Kit was walked, played with, fed and so well cared for, we’ll definitely be repeat clients! And the house was left spotless which is the icing on the cake after returning from a two week trip. She went above and beyond!
