“We are so grateful to Jenni for looking after Mochi while we were away on our cruise. She sent us photos and videos to keep us updated on how Mochi was doing; thanks to her, we were able to enjoy our vacation with peace of mind!”
“They are true pros and animal lovers. We were in a pinch and needed a last minute rover and can verify all the raving reviews are real! They absolutely loved Mika and made sure she was safe and well taken care of. She came home relaxed and well exercised. We will gladly come back to them anytime we’re in town!”
“Enzo had no problem adjusting because there is so much warmth and love within Claudias home. She sent constant updates and seeing how happy Enzo was kinda made me insecure 😅”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog received! Jess went above and beyond to make sure my dog felt comfortable and loved. From daily updates and photos to personalized attention, it was clear her family genuinely cared about my dog’s happiness and well-being. I highly recommend Jess to anyone looking for reliable, attentive, and loving care. Thank you for treating my dog like your own!”
“Our German shepherd was well taken care of while we were out of town for a long weekend. Natalia is very attentive to details, took dog on daily walks and sent great updates. We will definitely book again.”
“Tami has been nothing short of amazing! She and her family have taken great care of my pup Ice. She’s sent so many great photos and videos as well as updates throughout the day. She even threw him a birthday party while I was away since I couldn’t celebrate with him. I’m so happy to have found her and will be leaving my pup with her everytime I go out of town. Thank you Tami! ❤️”
“My pups were completely at home with Dubele. She is a warm and loving person and I knew that my dogs would be safe with her. Van sent regular videos and photos throughout the day. The frequent contact was SO helpful for me. My dogs and I were recently attacked by two large dogs and so my pups require extra attention and I really appreciate the extra updates. The environment was so calm and comfortable. I could literally see my dogs smiling in their photos. I highly recommend Dubele and Van and will definitely be bringing my dogs back next time I have to travel.”
“Bella was great & friendly. She provided photos and updates during the stay. I would absolutely book with Bella again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter.”
“Yvonne was caring and very sweet with my pup. He is only 3mo old and needs a lot of attention, which he most certainly received at her house. I will 100% ask her to look after my pup again!”
“I am so thankful for the quality care they provided for my senior dog. They were not only friendly to me but also to my dog who has high degree of separation anxiety with strangers. After the first stay for 10 days with them in April, my dog learned to be separated and be under someone else’s care with no major problems. The sitter’s dog also helped my Hayannie go through transition smoothly. I dropped her off and let her stay another 10 days in June with no worries for they already know my dog. I thank them for special care for my dog who can’t hear and see well. My dog seems well adjusted to Jahyung and Michael’s loving and extra ordinari care.”
“Our little Benson is very shy and timid around new people, so leaving him for 6 days was something we were really nervous about. But from the very beginning, Alex was incredibly patient, gentle, and understanding with him. They took the time to build trust at his pace, and it truly showed. Not only were they so caring, but also playful and attentive—making sure Benson felt safe, comfortable, and even had fun while we were away. 🐾 We received updates that gave us complete peace of mind, and that meant everything to us. Knowing he was in such loving hands made all the difference. We are beyond grateful and would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for someone who will treat your pet like their own. Thank you for taking such amazing care of our Benson—we’ll never forget it!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 10 years. I have experience taking care of dogs with senior care, which includes medications, and making food. Dogs both small and large.

“Our baby girl Skye had a great doggie vacation with Julie & Justin. They gave her so much love & attention which was captured on the many photos they shared throughout her stay. Communication is excellent and we feel very confident entrusting our Skye with Julie and Justin.”
“Summer had an amazing amazing time! we couldn't have asked for a better care for Summer. Pam took care of Summer like family. While we were having fun at vacation, we were getting frequent updates/pictures/videos of Summer being pampered.. While picking up Summer even neighbors came over to see her off - :). Would highly recommend Pam to any other pet parents who are looking to get family like care and attention. Thanks again Pam for taking care of Summer. She will be back soon!”
About: I have experience watching dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with reactive dogs and know how to accommodate them for stress free walks. My biggest strength is patience, which I believe is crucial in making your dog feel comfortable, especially the anxious and shy ones. I am happy to help with basic command training and conditioning. My partner and I both currently work remotely. I am in a role that is not meeting heavy so I am happy to accommodate to your schedule for walks and drop ins. Housesitting: I will do my best to keep your dog’s routine to not disrupt what they are used to while you are away. I am happy to care for your plants, help retrieve mail, and bring in/out garbage cans if needed. For boarding: Our condo has a small patio with a cot where your pup can sunbathe in. We also have a crate if preferred. Across the street there is a park with plenty of grass, and two streets away there is a dog park we can walk to. Your dog will be welcomed by our two male doggies ages 10 and 4 who are friendly and generally calm. We will send plenty of pics because we know that we miss our fur babies when we are away from them. Please let me know your dog’s daily feeding routine as well as allergies, known commands, favorite treats, etc.
“Rocky was very happy with Alvaro. He didn't want to leave when we came to get him. That says a lot about his care. We were kept informed every step of the way and received plenty of pictures. My family is very satisfied with the service. I recommend Alvaro hands down!!”
“Anne & Jason did an excellent job caring for our 5 pound dog. They were so good to send me daily pictures and promptly answer any questions I had. We will definitely be using them again and have already booked them for our next trip.”
“Madison was an excellent caregiver to our dog, Buddy. She communicated often and sent updates with pictures. Buddy had a wonderful time with her family and other pets. Top notch!”

“Its never easy having to leave a pet home for a trip you can't take the pet on. We recently had to do this to travel across the country and looked for help with taking care of our cat at home, where she is most comfortable. Bianca was absolutely wonderful about taking care of our cat, letting her get acquainted at her own pace. Within a couple of days, our cat was snuggling to Bianca like she'd known her for years ! Bianca stayed over at our place to take care of Nutella and she took great care of the home, ensuring the trash was taken out before she left. She left the place very clean and our cat was a happy camper for the duration. I would definitely request Bianca's help again, should the occasion arise.”
“Today’s was Mairas first time doing a drop in it visit with canelo while I was at work and she did great she sent me pics and he seems very happy playing with her , she fed him and even gives her his paw. The first time she walked him canelo seemed to instantly trust and like her and today’s drop in visit just further proves it. We will definitely continue you booking with Maira.”

“We've had Chelsea cat sit for us twice while we've been away on extended trips, and she's been the best sitter we've had through Rover. Her attention to detail and communication stood out from the rest, and she always makes sure to fit in some playtime for our cats!”
“Emilie did an amazing job dropping in on my cat while I was out of town, sending plenty of pictures and updates. My kitty is very shy around strangers but Emilie put a lot of effort into keeping her socialized and entertained at her own pace, and maintaining her food and litter routine. I would definitely book her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a kind and thorough sitter.”
“Absolutely the best pet sitter ever. She’s very sweet and very punctual. I’ve used her twice now and I’ve been very satisfied. I will continue to use her. She is the best.”
About: I've been caring for cats for many years and currently have two cats of my own, so I understand that every cat has a unique personality and routine. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, play with, and care for their cats while they're away. Whether your cat is social and playful or shy and independent, I'll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I can help with feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and providing companionship. I'll also send photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
About: I’ve always loved cats and have years of experience caring for different personalities, from playful and social cats to shy and independent ones. I understand that every cat has their own routine and comfort level, so I focus on creating a calm, safe, and stress-free environment while their owners are away. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, playtime, medication reminders, and giving cats the patience and attention they need to feel comfortable. I pay close attention to their behavior, mood, and routines to make sure they feel secure and cared for. What sets me apart is my gentle and attentive approach. I know cats thrive on trust and consistency, and I make it a priority to help them feel relaxed, loved, and comfortable in their own space.
About: I've grown up with pets and have always been aware of each of their personalities and telling communication. Some prefer space and some prefer attention and I can easily provide either depending on the owners or pet's needs/wants. I work as a behavior technician and the summer schedule is slower. I still have 1-2 clients each day but only for 3-4 hours a day so I can easily take care of a pet and then go to my client, then come back. My weekends are always busy. I cannot take pets to my apartment since my floor does not allow pets with hardwood flooring, but I can go to the pets home, walk, take them in my car to go to a dog park/beach, and care for them in their own home. I respect the owners and pet's spaces because if it were my own, I would want trust in this relationship.
“Armand was amazing with our little guy and I would book him again. We were gone for an extended period of time and Armand made sure to give our guy lots of loving and grooming while we were away. Even let me know when he was changing his feedings due to him being pukey and even cleaned the puke up for us, we really appreciate the time and care he gave to our Chewie.”
“First time leaving our boy with a sitter and I couldn’t have a better experience! Oliver came home happy and I felt so relieved and would definitely want all sitters to have the same warmth and kindness as Gloria. Definitely recommend and WILL have oliver board with her again! ?”
“Windy was so accommodating with a short-notice booking, and she always updated me with notes and pictures which made me feel so secure about leaving my cat with her. I would absolutely book with Windy again!”
About: I’ve had doggies all my life. I currently have a 4 year old miniature Aussie who is extremely spoiled and loved. His name is Dusty. He’s very friendly and welcoming. Also have our yellow dilute Australian Shepherd. He’s a rescue and hes already sooooo loved. He’s more on the shy side. I've had a lot of experience dog sitting for friends. I absolutely love all animals, but dogs are my favorite. I was responsible for grooming and caring for a large black lab throughout the last 6 years. I also have had some experience with puppies, senior dogs and providing medication to pups if needed. I work from home from 5am to 1:30pm, Monday through Friday. This gives me the flexibility to spend quality time with my little Aussies and your little ball of fur! I would be able to care for pets overnight, take them on morning and evening walks and spend time playing with them. I'm available during the day also on weekends. In my client's home I would provide attentive care to the pets and spend a lot of playing with them. My home has a a large yard for the doggies which they will have access to go all day long through a doggie door so they can play. The yard is gated and is kept locked for their security. I am only 5-10 minutes away from Disney, the Angels stadium, and the Honda Center🎡🎠🎢 I’m excited to help care , love and play with your fur babies. I work from home so my schedule is very flexible and your doggie will never be left alone for longer than it would take me do the normal grocery store runs. I have a large yard for the doggies who have access to the yard if wanted with a doggie door. Gate stays locked so people can’t simply walk in. We also have a crate for added safety and comfort for your doggies needs.
“Ally was attentive and sent lots of pictures and notes. She is a great communicator! Always getting back to us promptly. She took initiative and helped keep the cats space clean by sweeping near the litter box without being asked! We will definitely bring using her services again”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care Nisa provided! It was clear she genuinely loves and understands cats. She was incredibly attentive, respectful of my space, and made sure my cat felt comfortable and cared for while I was away. I appreciated the thoughtful updates and photos as well! Mango is usually quite shy, but he opened up to Nisa right away. I highly recommend Nisa to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and professional cat sitter. Will absolutely book again!”
About: While I don’t have as much experience with cats as I do with dogs, I’ve always enjoyed being around them and caring for the stray cats in my neighborhood. Spending time with them has helped me learn how to approach cats patiently and respectfully while paying attention to their individual personalities. I understand that some cats are playful and social while others prefer a calmer environment, and I’m comfortable matching their energy and giving them the space or attention they need. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.

About: What sets me apart is my unique combination of professional experience and a perfect home environment. I previously worked at a busy dog cafe in South Korea, where I gained hands on experience handling dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities.

Since my schedule is very adaptable, I can easily integrate pet care into my daily routine. I'll be around to keep your pet company, take them out for regular potty breaks, feed them on time, and give them plenty of attention and love I have professional experience working at a dog cafe in South Korea, where I cared for various breeds and temperaments.

“Ally is AMAZING and we are so happy to have found her. She did such a great job taking care of our 65 lb, 3 year old super energetic dog Simba. I was nervous to leave him for the first time after moving but Ally made it easy to relax and not worry. She sent regular and proactive updates and detailed notes on each walk and lots of photos! We appreciated that so much. Ally is clearly someone all animals love instantly and we will definitely book with her again.”
About: I’ve taken care of puppies, dogs with allergies and old dogs as well as kittens , cats with allergies and some old cat experience as well I’m currently a college student at Mt San Antonio College and I’m trying to save up for my expensive and extensive move to university in the following year and also I want to save up money to travel. I can work throughout the week and cater to your furry friend! I am very trustworthy, If you have a routine I’ll follow it! I have references to my history with pets if needed. I will care for your pets and your home.
About: While I’m new to Rover, I’ve been caring for pets and homes for over 15 years. I have experience with dogs, cats, senior pets, medication administration, and multi-pet households. I’m excited to bring that experience to Rover and build lasting relationships with local pet families. (: FUN FACT: I have the same birthday as Caesar Milan, so I’m kinda like a dog whisperer 🤪 I’m a housewife with no pets or children of my own. I do theater every now and then but overall my schedule is wide open and ready to share the love and care necessary for your furry companion. I’m not sure why Rover says I don’t allow animals on the furniture. I don’t mind unless it’s a rule within your home to keep them down (: I will honor all of your wishes with caring for your loved one and treat them as if they were my own. I have a fenced backyard and safe neighborhood for walks. Your furry friends will be protected and their comfort is always going to be top priority whether in your home or mine. (:
About: Hi! I’m Alex, and I specialize in caring for senior dogs and smaller/medium pups. Over the past year, I’ve been fostering a dog while working closely with a professional trainer. This has given me hands-on experience with different behaviors, routines, and training needs. I am available during evenings and weekends. I currently work at a coffee shop and get off early in the day. I can attend to pets after work. I may be helpful for those with late-night jobs, such as bartenders or event hosts. Dog Walking – I will always go to you. I have treats (and water + a bowl!) to keep pups happy and hydrated. My walks are calm, full of sniffs, and focused on comfort. If you’re training your dog, I’ll keep things consistent. I can also provide more high-energy walks. I do NOT pull or tug dogs. Drop-In Visits – I’ll feed your pup, refresh their water, and give them love, playtime, or cuddles so they feel cared for while you’re away. I can also do a quick 15-minute potty break during this time. *If you have an elderly dog: I prefer to use the treats you normally give them to avoid upsetting their stomach. Please provide treats you’d like me to use.

“They are true pros and animal lovers. We were in a pinch and needed a last minute rover and can verify all the raving reviews are real! They absolutely loved Mika and made sure she was safe and well taken care of. She came home relaxed and well exercised. We will gladly come back to them anytime we’re in town!”

“Tami has been nothing short of amazing! She and her family have taken great care of my pup Ice. She’s sent so many great photos and videos as well as updates throughout the day.

Thank you Tami! ❤️”

While we were having fun at vacation, we were getting frequent updates/pictures/videos of Summer being pampered.. While picking up Summer even neighbors came over to see her off - :). Would highly recommend Pam to any other pet parents who are looking to get family like care and attention. Thanks again Pam for taking care of Summer. She will be back soon!”

About: 🐾I’ve always loved being around animals and understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet! I’m happy to make sure they have a safe and fun time! I’m reliable, attentive, patient, and caring and will always make sure every furry friend feels safe, happy, and gets the exercise they need. I treat every animal like they’re my own and love sending updates and photos/videos so you know they’re having a great time! My weekly schedule is pretty flexible, and I usually have a lot of availability throughout the day. Some weeks look different than others, but I keep my calendar updated and make sure I only accept bookings that I can fully commit to! Boarding/Day care: I only accept one family’s pets at a time to provide individualized care. I have a large backyard for your dogs to roam around, play, and relax! They’ll be lots of play time in the yard if not they’ll be inside with the AC on and relax. House sitting: I respect each pet’s comfort level and approach them on their terms! I’m comfortable cleaning up any accidents in the house, following feeding schedules, and crating pets if needed. There will be lots of play time too of course.
“Tessa took great care of my dogs and kept me updated with pictures and messages throughout their stay, which gave me such peace of mind. It was clear they were happy and well cared for. I would definitely book with her again! Thank you, Tessa!”
“Eunice and her husband were absolutely amazing to my girl. This was my first time leaving my pitty to a sitter and I have zero regrets. She took note of all of my reminders for her and provided me updates throughout each day that I was gone. I felt at ease throughout my vacation because of Eunice’s consistent communication. She walked her multiple times throughout the day and let her onto their furniture. A million thank yous to Eunice and her husband.”
“The best!!! Kenzi was the best I could have ever hoped for caring for my pup!! Upcoming trip a”and I definitely will be requesting Kenzie’s services again.

Thank you again Kenzie for all that you did for me and my family!”
“WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE Aidee (Lilly) did a fantastic job! She made sure my pup felt comfortable, sent regular updates, and genuinely cared. I returned to a happy, relaxed dog, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. Highly recommend and will definitely book again!”
“My dogs loved their time (2 weeks) with Jovanny and Robyn! They treated them like their own -- taking them on walks, giving them scratches, letting sit with them. I really appreciated all of the photos and videos -- I think they had way more fun with Jovanny and Robyn than they do at home! Would definitely book with them again!”
“Arliz and her family too great care of our dog, Willow! We received regular updates with pics, and we could tell she was happy with the arrangement. Arliz was prompt with responses and very easy to work with. We’ll definitely look to see if she is available the next time we have a dog sitter need. Two paws up ?!”
