“Wow, words can not even express how pleased we were with Claudias care and attention to details about making our pup fee welcome and part of the pack! She even made an awesome goodie bag with little pictures of his stay. They gave him organic home made trays by Claudia and he absolutely loves them. Thank you so much for watching our fur baby and if we need a sitter again, you will be the first amazing sitter that will come to mind. I highly recommend Claudia to care for your dog!! 10/10!!”
“Jen and Stephanie were amazing with my Jack Russell. The space for the dogs outside is super secure and both Jen and Stephanie are so sweet with my pup. He’s a typical Jack Russell and his energy is unmatched- when I picked him up he was happy and cheerful like he was on vacation there :). Will def have Vincent stay with Jen and Stephanie again. Ten out of ten”
“We couldn't be happier with the care Skilly received! From the moment we dropped her off, it was clear she was in great hands. They made Skilly feel comfortable, loved, and right at home, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We received updates and could tell she was being treated like part of the family. When we picked her up, she was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Thank you for taking such amazing care of Skilly. We will absolutely be using your services again and highly recommend you to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”

“Jody is so sweet and took such good care of Koda. He got lots of love from her and her family. When we picked him up he seemed like he didn’t even want to go home, he was enjoying it so much. She even washed his doggie bed.♥️ Jody’s location is perfect for us since we need to pass her house on the way to the airport. We will definitely choose Jody again to take care of our Koda.”

Thank you Sara!!!”

About: I've taken care of dogs my whole life, but developed a love for it at 12. I've cared for many dogs from friends and family throughout the years, including our family dog. I'm comfortable and familiar with feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, bathing, giving meds, and giving lots of love and attention! I'm responsible, patient, and attentive and my goal is to always keep them comfortable, happy, and healthy! Am currently unemployed, so open schedule! Available for all needs including drop ins, walks, pet sitting, etc. Will update when my schedule becomes more full!

I’ll make sure they always have plenty of food & water, love, and attention. I follow each owner's instructions and schedule and keep a close eye on pets. If pet sitting, I always keep the environment clean and organized and always supervise. When on walks, I always take precautions and stay alert for any situation, and follow any instructions if given and will always keep you updated. Safety is always no. 1 priority! I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, so I always treat & love them like my own.
“My Teddy Bear enjoyed his stay at Amber's house! He had a ball running around in her big, fenced in backyard and playing with her two girls! Teddy also enjoyed a nature walk! Amber's home is comfortable and she provided a very nice stay for my pup. She even gave me fresh eggs from her chickens! I highly recommend Amber and would not hesitate to use her again!”

About: I have many years of experience as a pet-sitter for friends and neighbors and have even worked as a veterinary assistant. I have experience caring for not only dogs and cats, but also rodents, reptiles, amphibians, birds and some livestock animals including goats and pigs. I have cared for senior animals and pets with medical conditions. I'm working a remote part time job as a 3D artist, so my schedule is very flexible. I am even able to bring my work with me as long as your home has internet, so I can keep a close eye on your fur, feather or scale babies! Aside from being a calm and loving companion for your pets, I am also comfortable with administering oral medications, specialized feeding requirements (calcium dusting insects, feeding rodents to snakes, etc) basic grooming requirements, spot cleaning enclosures and general exercise needs.
“Nicole is an amazing pet sitter! Great communication and very reliable. She was able to get one of our very shy cats to warm up to her. Nicole went above and beyond, even helping us with a household issue while we were out of town. Definitely recommend Nicole and we will hire her again!”
“Our dog is a typical German Shepherd, super attached and a good amount of anxiety. So we were definitely concerned about leaving her for 10 days. With Ashley, we learned quickly we had nothing to worry about. They bonded right away and the happy dog photos she sent along during our trip are some of the best photos we have of her. Ashley was incredibly caring and kept our pup on a consistent daily schedule. I highly recommend Ashley for caring for your pets.”
About: I’ve had many cats in the past, and I will love your fur babies like they’re my own. My experience goes back to my teen years, and I have done many drop-ins for friends throughout my life. I’d love to take care of your crazy or docile kitties when you must be elsewhere.
“My dog can be a bit leery of new people but she trusted Kalia right away. Kalia was super professional, kind, on time and even sent me a photo during their walk. I will be booking again!”
About: Hi, I’m Brooke, a compassionate and attentive cat lover who understands the unique personalities and needs of our feline friends. From playful kittens to independent seniors, I’ve cared for cats of all ages and temperaments, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well-attended while their humans are away. I know that cats thrive on routine, so I take great care in maintaining their feeding, play, and nap schedules. Whether your kitty loves to chase feather toys or prefers quiet time soaking up the sun, I create a nurturing environment tailored to their preferences. I’m also skilled in recognizing subtle cues in cat behavior, so I can quickly adapt to what makes them feel most at ease. With my background in home care and a gentle, respectful approach, I’m dedicated to giving your cat the attention they deserve. You can expect detailed updates and a worry-free experience, knowing your furry friend is in loving hands. I can’t wait to meet your whiskered companion and make our time together as comforting and fun as possible!
About: I have lived with many dogs and cats my whole life, in this way I have always been raised to care for animals. I have also trained a chocolate Labrador from puppy to adulthood! I know the basic methods of discipline for pets, while knowing the basic needs of care and love for them! I currently work in the film industry part time in the camera department. The rest of my work in video content creation is remote, this allows me to be flexible with my schedule and location. When at a clients home, I leave a large window of time to just spend time with the pets, whether that be petting, playing fetch, scratching bellies, or just hanging out with one another. Time with me and pets make me happy, and I believe the pets as well! Most of my hours in a day, in fact will be spent with the pet.
About: Hi, I'm Emily! I will care for your dog just as I care for my own, with lots of care and love! I love getting to know your dog and creating the most comfortable and enjoyable experience possible for them. By the time a dog heads back home, I often feel like I’ve developed a bond with them, and this experience is a big part of why I do it. I have a playful, young cattle dog. I also had a sweet senior chow/shepherd mix. My cattle dog gets along well with seniors, since he was raised with one, just as much as he loves to play with high-energy friends. Currently I work a flexible schedule that allows me flexibility for dog walking/drop ins. Usually I can create time in my schedule based on your dog's needs. As a trusted sitter, I am careful to follow any instructions you have for your dogs needs and the care of your home as well.

“Taryn was the first pet sitter I had in Los Angeles. I had a kitten that needed care while I went away for an extended period of time. She always took photos of my kitten and kept me updated along the way. Would highly recommend”
“Chelsey was great! She responded really quickly, worked with us to figure out a good schedule, and (most importantly) took great care of our pets. I'd absolutely recommend working with her, and I'm sure we'll contact her again in the future, too. Thanks, Chelsey!”

“Kelsey is my #1 go-to dog sitter. My clingy heeler is always so excited to visit her. He can smell her neighborhood from out of the window and he starts barking on our way down the street to her house. She is understanding, flexible, kind, and she genuinely loves dogs. She also understands heelers and herding breeds, which is a huge plus in my book. 100000% recommend her. I'm a paranoid dog owner and I'm very selective about all of the choices I make for him. I'm always at ease knowing he is with her.”
“We were very happy with Hersh and his care for our small dog Sophie. Sophie was calm and relaxed when we picker her up unlike a previous stay at a kennel for small dogs. Hersh sent us a picture of Sophie relaxing on the couch and I could tell she was enjoying herself and was content. Good job. We would definitely use Hersh again if we are traveling in the area.”
“Kalia was easy to work with, great communication from the start. Provided me with updates and photos of Champ during his stay. I highly recommend Kalia if you’re in town and need someone to look after your pet!”
“Had a great experience with daycare! Bethany was very easy to communicate with. Could tell my pup had a great time and was really convenient for dropoff/pickup for our day trip to Channel Islands. Would highly recommend”
“Mariana and Mark were so great! We needed a local option to be with Zoey when our usual care wasn’t available, and was pleasantly at ease meeting the two of them. Mariana offered a meet & greet ahead of our daycare date and Zoey loved the space and toys they had. They are thorough, responded very quickly, and we felt comfortable leaving Zoey with them.”
“Anna is amazing! She is awesome with my 8 month old puppy and clearly knows a lot about dogs. Fritz loves his time with her- she is responsible, caring, and understanding. Would 100% recommend her!”
About: I treat your pup as I would want mine treated. That is the best way I can describe how I want your dog to be treated! And, how I plan to treat your dog! I am a dog lover for sure, I have two golden retrievers 4 years old and 6 months old Hudson and Hope. I had a golden retriever before Hudson, and Hope , named Charlie. I had Charlie until he was 9 years old. I have had dogs my entire life, and couldn't imagine life without them! Please know that your dog will be in good hands with me. I firmly believe dogs should be spoiled and treated the best...my dog is definitely my fur kid as dorky as that may be...dogs are the best! I look forward to meeting yours! I work from home and have a large yard - so we are home and will be actively engaged with your pup! My two dogs are 7 and 11 we go on hikes and then rest! I treat your pup as mine - we hang out, play, nap, cuddle, and hike! Let me know your needs and we will figure it out.
“Kay was a fantastic sitter. She was very kind and welcoming. We felt very confident in leaving our dog in her care. She sent adorable photos and her communication throughout the sit was great. We picked up a very happy dog who didn’t want to leave Kay. Would 100% use Kay again.”
“Ellen was great. She took great care of our pup and was very easy going. She even had some advice for activities in town that were really great. We will definitely see her again next time we are in town.”
“Tefiti LOVES staying with Marina. When we pick her up she greets us and then wants to go back inside with Marina. She took great care of her while she was recovering from an injury. Marina made sure her wound stayed clean and was able to give her medication without any issues.”
“My two dogs loved Ashley! They have extreme separation anxiety being away from me, but they were so comfortable with Ashley and loved being with her! She took amazing care of them and sent updates throughout their stay! I will use her again! :)”
“My husband and I were visiting Ventura and in desperate need of a sitter for my dog. Chelsey was super professional, positive and very sweet. My baby was happy when I picked him up. I definitely will bring my dog back. Thank you Chelsey.”

About: Animals are my passion. I cared for my beloved Parson Russell Terrier, Milo, from 2000 to 2015, and he’s the reason I fell in love with caring for all animals. That love led me to volunteer at the Berkeley Humane Society as a cat companion in 2014, and later at the Santa Cruz SPCA as a dog walker from 2024 to 2025. I’ve also transported rescued animals—most memorably a German Shepherd from NYC to his forever home in Florida—and have cared for friends’ and family’s pets for many years. While I don’t currently have pets of my own, I’m fully committed to providing exceptional, reliable, and compassionate care for yours. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight stay, your pet will be treated like family. I follow your pet’s established routine—feeding, walking, medication, and comfort—and during extended stays, I’m happy to water plants, collect mail, and keep your home tidy. My mission is simple: to care for your pets with genuine love, respect, and dependability. I work part-time with a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available throughout the week for you and your pet. My background in customer service has taught me the importance of reliability, communication, and attention to detail—qualities I bring to every pet care visit. I provide reliable, compassionate care that keeps your pet comfortable and secure in their own home. I follow their regular routine, prioritize safety, and care for them with the same attention and love I would give my own pets.
About: I've been a pet guardian all of my (long-ish) life and I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I’m reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented — I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. I'm currently not working full time, so I have time to help you look after your animals. My dogs (springer spaniels) lived very long and happy lives, and now I have a solo cat at home. I am available to visit your animals in your home, take them for walks, clean up after them and play with them. I can't have overnights at the moment due to my own pet.
About: I love all critters, large and small. I have two large dogs which I have both trained. They are incredibly well behaved, but I know how to give them space to be rambunctious and playful. It’s so important for pets to have a safe space to be themselves and show their beautiful, unique personalities. I know how to work with senior and leash-aggressive dogs. Kitties are wonderful with minds of their own. I give them attention when they want it, but distance if not. They are cats after all! I can take care of fish too, as I have a tank of them in addition to my dogs. My schedule is extremely flexible! I walk my dogs in the morning, but I can adjust my walk time as needed. For overnights, my husband will take care of our fur babies. I start off with an introduction to you and your pet. Treats are a great way to start off on the right paw! I ensure your pet feels safe and gets to know me. I am caring and loving, and I also know how to give space to your furry one when they need it.
About: I worked for a family friend in their home pet sitting business. I fed, administered meds, walked, played and loved on lots of different breeds of dogs. I’m currently a stay at home mom. I have a pretty wide open schedule at the moment. For now I’m leaving it wide open to see if there’s anything I don’t want to work and then can make changes from there, I’m flexible on times and days. I have an enclosed deck and a fenced in yard with grass and gravel. Plenty of room for the dogs to run around and enjoy some sunshine or some shade from our large oak tree.
About: I’ve been the go-to pet and house sitter for my friends for years and am now offering my services to the world here on Rover. I am clean, healthy, responsible, considerate and a clear communicator; truly the ideal sitter. I will take loving care of your home & pets so you may travel with ease and confidence. Non drinking, non smoking~my life is devoted to my overall wellness and beauty. *Important Note* I am sensitive to harsh chemicals/cleaning products and am only available for sits in eco-friendly homes using natural/gentle dish soaps, kitty litter, etc. Thank you! Penny I run a small one woman show called Songsaa Hawaii which currently goes with me wherever I go! I just need a decent sized dining room table and I’m in business. This allows for great flexibility and more time at the dog park, beach, giving your pet attention & snuggles. I enjoy sunshine, yoga, reading and relaxing. I’m here to listen to your needs and help create the most safe & comfortable environment/sit for your pet. I appreciate clear communication and a clean, eco-friendly, non toxic home using natural cleaning products and kitty litter for the safety and health for all.
About: "I bring a professional, detail-oriented approach to pet care, backed by a commitment to reliability and safety. I don't just 'watch' your pet—I curate their day. Whether it's a high-energy park adventure or a consistent, disciplined walking routine, I prioritize your pet's specific temperament and needs. I treat every booking as a professional contract: you can count on punctuality, clear communication, and photo updates that give you complete peace of mind. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities, and I approach every interaction with the professionalism you expect from a dedicated care expert." Because pet care isn't one-size-fits-all, I maintain a highly flexible schedule to accommodate your routine. Whether you need early morning check-ins, midday feeding and play segments, or dedicated evening companionship, I structure my days around making sure your pets stay on their preferred timelines. I am available for both weekday and weekend bookings, ensuring consistent, reliable care so your fur babies never miss a beat while you're away. I prioritize a secure and attentive environment for every dog I care for. While I don't have a yard at my home, I am an extremely active person and live near several wonderful local dog parks and scenic trails. I love taking my visitors on frequent outdoor adventures and long walks to ensure they get plenty of exercise and fresh air. My home is a clean, organized, and stress-free space where your pet will be treated like family and given my full, undivided attention.
About: Hi! I'm Sherrie. I'm the kind of pet sitter who sends photo updates, and may leave your home looking better than when you left. Originally from Hawaii and now based in Ojai, yet travel to you elsewhere is no problem! I've spent years caring for homes, animals, and all the little details that help owners relax while they're away. Dogs and Cats seem to like me. Whether your pet is a couch potato, an adventure buddy, a professional squirrel observer, I'll make sure they get plenty of love, attention, exercise, and companionship. When you're away, I'll provide: • Pet care and companionship • Walks, playtime, and belly rubs (when approved by management) • Medication administration if needed • Home security checks • Regular photo updates My goal is simple: for you to enjoy your trip without worry. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family. Looking forward to meeting your furry, feathered family member. I own my own company so normally have nice flexibility. I can do last minute work at times as well. Happy to discuss. Just ask! I will follow your lead on how to care for them on your property. I always like a solid list of information. Email is fine too
About: I am hyper-attuned to your dog's needs ensuring your pets sense of trust and well-being is secure. Showing up and being present is my priority! I work primarily from home, and my schedule is flexible from the morning to early evening time, making it easy to schedule service times that work conveniently with your schedule and pet needs. Routines and consistency are important to ensuring a dog's sense of the world and trust because they can anticipate what to expect each day. With my own dogs, I wake up and take them for a jog first thing in every morning. The routine accompanied with the daily exercise makes for very happy, well-behaved and content dogs. I will bring that same perspective to your pet's life. Additionally, I am a long time Rover customer and when I was single and working 9-5, I relied heavily on my dog walker and sitter to show up daily, on time, in a loving, attentive way. For those of you who are away from your pets for long periods, please know that I understand the importance of being that consistent person in their life who shows up on time and meets their needs in your absence. Being a Rover walker and drop-in visitor is my way of giving back and saying thank you for all those who supported my pups for so many years!

About: I’ve been taking care of cats and dogs since I was a kid. I also have been fostering cats and dogs for the past decade. I’ve taken care of animals with disabilities, seniors, and puppies / kittens :) I’m a photographer so my schedule is pretty free. Most days I am at home working on the computer, which makes it easy to spend time with your pups :) I’m a very loving pet sitter. I know basic training and will take them on really fun walks. They will also get all the cuddles!
About: Hi, I'm Emily! I will care for your dog just as I care for my own, with lots of care and love! I love getting to know your dog and creating the most comfortable and enjoyable experience possible for them. By the time a dog heads back home, I often feel like I’ve developed a bond with them, and this experience is a big part of why I do it. I have a playful, young cattle dog. I also had a sweet senior chow/shepherd mix. My cattle dog gets along well with seniors, since he was raised with one, just as much as he loves to play with high-energy friends.

As a trusted sitter, I am careful to follow any instructions you have for your dogs needs and the care of your home as well.
About: I have owned cats and dogs since I was a child. Currently a cat mom to 2 boys- Tony & Ozzy! Experience with cats, puppies, elderly dogs & large dogs.

Expect lots of kisses, cuddles, pets and playtime! Will pickup pet waste, messes & do any feeding/medicine for you! Walks are guaranteed!
About: I have worked as a veterinary assistant at an animal hospital that also administers emergency care. Because of this, I am very knowledgeable and experienced in medication administration, animal behavior, animal nutrition, emergency care, CPR, and all around animal care. I have owned many animals such as dogs, cats, chickens, a tortoise, and a bird. I also have been around many other animals as well having grown up in a small town with agriculture and having worked at a farm and a pet boarding facility. I have always loved animals and plan to become a veterinarian or RVT one day, caring for any and every animal I can. I am currently very free to spend time with your pet! I am available beginning around 9AM, possibly earlier if needed and discussed in more detail, until around 6PM, also flexible if discussed further. I am ready and excited to give your pets the best loving care throughout the day! In the client’s home, I can make at least 3 if not more daily check-ins and I will stay for at least 30 minutes during each check-in. Over the weekend, I generally am home unless I am running errands. I pay close attention to the pet’s needs and behavior to try to always make sure they are attended to and taken care of.
About: I am accustomed to living with pets of all sorts of sociability, health, and needs! This is my first year living without a pet, and I really miss it. As an outdoor educator, I'm always looking for an excuse to get outside, and absolutely love being with animals. I'm currently off-season with my guide job, and spend my time hiking, surfing, and volunteering. My availability is completely open, and I'd love to fill it by caring for some cute critters. As a former employee of the Santa Barbara Zoo, I've learned how to interpret an animal's feelings and needs. I am also (human) Wilderness First Responder and CPR certified, and spend much of the year working outdoors guiding children, so your pets will be in experienced hands.
About: As a loving pet owner myself, I understand the importantance of finding a caretaker that you trust. I will love your pets as I do my own. I will make sure your pets are happy and cared for regardless of breed, size or age. You will have peace of mind knowing I am caring for your beloved pets while you are away. I have pets that have to be cared for in a specific manner, so I understand the importance of following instructions to be sure your pets are safe. I do not work outside the home. My time is not limited or scheduled. My girls are home schooled so we have no other commitments than to be sure your pets are cared for. I am able to come to your home as a drop in, or stay in your home while you are away. I do not board in my home due to aggressive pets of my own.

“Bethany was a lifesaver! We needed last-minute care, and she responded right away and met with us quickly to make it happen. Rezzi instantly got along with her sweet pup, Momo, and I received daily photo updates that kept me at ease. Bethany works from home, has a small backyard for playtime, and made sure Rezzi got her daily walks. Rezzi came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I would definitely book with Bethany again!”
“They are very kind, my puppy Max looked very happy. I am very grateful to them. Even though it was last minute, they agreed to take care of him. I will definitely contact you again in the future.”
“jacquelyn was great! dropped my dog off to her for the weekend and received multiple updates each day. especially appreciated the photos and videos! when i picked up my dog he seemed to have had a good time ˙ᵕ˙”
“Jody is so sweet and took such good care of Koda. He got lots of love from her and her family. When we picked him up he seemed like he didn’t even want to go home, he was enjoying it so much. She even washed his doggie bed.♥️ Jody’s location is perfect for us since we need to pass her house on the way to the airport. We will definitely choose Jody again to take care of our Koda.”
“We've left our baby (dog) with Misty a few times and every time she makes us feel more and more comfortable. It sure makes a difference to know that we have someone like Misty and her family to care for our pet while we are away.”
“I cannot say enough good things about Sara! She took the BEST care of our pup Rascal, showering him with endless love, attention, and playing! She sent detailed and thoughtful updates periodically which I really appreciated and enjoyed. Every update came with photos which was not just adorable but gave me so much peace of mind to see that Rascal was not only safe and healthy, but sooo happy. Rascal can’t wait to go back! Thank you Sara!!!”
“Sheena was outstanding! Very communicative and took great care of our dog. Loved all of the photos she sent along the way. We felt very comfortable with her and our dog was happy when we arrived. If we need a sitter again, I will definitely see if she is available.”
“Mark and Yulia have the sweetest family and they took such incredible care of my Hazel! She is very expressive and her happiness was beaming through the photo updates I was sent regularly. I get anxious to leave my dog but having her in their care was a big relief to me. Thank you so much for everything!!!”
“Wow… i don’t even know where to start! Mystique, Richard and their amazing daughter Milan welcomed our dog Cooper with open arms into their home. They were an incredibly kind family and i felt very safe with cooper in their care. They watched Cooper during our wedding weekend and went above and beyond to make sure we had a stress free weekend. they even brought cooper to our wedding ceremony AND rehearsal the night before for us. I would recommend them 100000% to anyone to watch their pups and i know cooper can’t wait for the next time we leave town so he can stay with them again! thank you thank you thank you!!”
“We had a wonderful experience booking with Kalia. She was always quick to respond to booking requests, messages, and was very understanding when we had to cancel a different booking due to a change in plans. She sent regular updates and pictures of our boy and I could tell he was having a great visit with her and her two goldens. She put our mind at ease as this was our first time booking through Rover. We had used boarding facilities in the past and our boy would come back overstimulated and often with tummy issues, but it was not the case when he stayed with Kalia. We will definitely book with her again next time!”
“We booked Chris to watch our two mini aussies while we were in town for a wedding, and we are so appreciative of his care and communication. 100% would book again. Thank you Chris!”
“Ellen was fantastic, she responded promptly and was flexible with my schedule. She took great care of my cat Nalla while I was away. She even had a whole room set up for cats to play and hangout. I would definitely recommend her for all your pet care needs.thanks again Ellen!”
“Chelsea was amazing! She was able to take our Lucy on short notice and loved her like she was her own. She gave her lots of attention and made sure that we knew she was well cared for through pictures and videos. I highly recommend her services!”
“My Teddy Bear enjoyed his stay at Amber's house! He had a ball running around in her big, fenced in backyard and playing with her two girls! Teddy also enjoyed a nature walk! Amber's home is comfortable and she provided a very nice stay for my pup. She even gave me fresh eggs from her chickens! I highly recommend Amber and would not hesitate to use her again!”
“Gracie and Emilio went above and beyond to care for our dog! They took her on daily walks, played at the park, and sent lots of photos to keep us updated. They have a great outdoor space and their dog Gigi was such a fun playmate for our active dog. Would highly recommend them caring for your pup and will definitely book again!”
