“Daisy was wonderful. She was super communicative , sending pictures throughout the day and understanding when we were a little late for pick up. She was warm and we felt safe with Luna in her care.”
“Amanda took great care of my dog Blue. She sent me pictures of him everyday and updated me on how he was doing. Blue seemed so happy to be at her place with other pups. Highly recommend Amanda.”
“Wednesday had a great time at Adrienne's. I could tell from the picture she was getting a lot of love and pets. I'm so glad we have another sitter we can count on and that Wednesday has new friends.”
“We needed to find a pet sitter for our dog, Pepi, for a month, a long time to be away. Pepi is a small terrier rescue who can be timid and has particular eating habits. She’s very calm and needs a low key environment. We spent much time reviewing sitters seeking a place where Pepi could live a similar lifestyle as she does at home. So lucky, we found Joyce! She has two small sweet dogs. After we met, I felt confident that Pepi would be in good hands along with good doggy company. During our trip, we received photos and videos daily, many times twice a day. I could see Pepi was happy and enjoyed the company of her two lovely dogs. The photos showed walks, Pepi eating well while enjoying the doggie company. She made friends. I could tell Pepi was happy and I made the right choice. I highly recommend Joyce. She provided excellent care. She shopped for additional food for Pepi’s diet and let me know she was doing well. When planning the next time away, I would not hesitate arranging my schedule first to be sure Joyce would be available to care for Pepi. Thank you, Joyce, for everything you did to make Pepi happy and comfortable. You’re the best! 🐕🥰”
“Angelica and her family did a fantastic job watching our senior labradoodle for a few days. He gets so nervous being away from home that he usually doesn’t eat, but he was totally fine with Angelica. It seemed like he had a wonderful time. He’s totally wiped out like he played really hard! We’ll definitely be entrusting Angelica with his care in the future.”
“Yeti had a lot of fun during his stay visiting with other dogs. Jing was super kind and sweet. She sent updates of Yeti soon after we left to re-assure us that our puppy was adjusting well. We are really thankful.”
“Hallie had a fantastic time playing with other dogs at Joe's; she came home nice and tired. His backyard has high fences/walls (mine's a jumper) and a nice shaded patio for the dogs to hang out. Joe is open and communicative and clearly loves all dogs. He sent photo and video updates and let me know how Hallie was playing, eating, and sleeping while I was away.”
“Albina is a dream come true for anyone hoping to find a kind and considerate dog boarder. She was wonderful with my mom's dogs and they took right to her. I highly recommend Albina as a dog boarder!”
“She's an amazing sitter and sent lots of pics and videos. It's easy to see how much love and care she puts into the pets she takes care of. I would definitely recommend her to watch the fur babies.”
“Gigi & Steven were great! They constantly updated us with pics and videos of how our dog was doing. You can tell that they take great pride in taking care of all dogs and they treat your dog as their own. They were also very quick in their responses which we appreciated since we were vacationing overseas. We feel 100% confident leaving our fur baby in their hands and will definitely use their service in the future.”
“We love leaving Pebbles with them! They are kind, understanding, and communicative. We have now left Pebbles with them 4 times, and they are always our number one choice. 100% recommend!”
“She was so great with our little guy! She was receptive to all the nuances I had to share with her about our puppy. She even took the initiative to ask if it was okay to train him, which we were more than happy with. I felt very comfortable leaving my baby with her and I would do it again!”
“As always, Lynsey showered Kasper with so much love and attention. She truly sets the bar so high when it comes to pet care. I have complete peace of mind knowing he’s with someone who treats him like her own and goes above and beyond every single time!”
“Victoria is such an amazing sitter! She sent so many adorable videos and photos of Oz and her dog (Bella) having the best time together. It was truly a relief to know my pup was in such great hands with her and her husband. Thank you so much!! :)”
“Meena is the best! She sent us frequent updates with photos, letting us know what she and our frenchie have been up to. She took such great care of him that he didn't wanna leave Meena when we came back to pick him up. We'd give a 10 star review if we could! Thanks so much!”

“all the rave reviews you’ve read about kelly is true. she is amazing! kelly is kind, caring, responsible, and thoughtful. my kitties loved her from the start =) kelly helps out with the unexpected, like helping to recharge when the water fountain’s battery died unexpectedly. i appreciate kelly being so kind and gentle to my fur babies. she gave them extra pets & kisses and spent time playing with them.”
“Camille did great with my cat Mim. She offered to stay longer with Mim, which helped with Mim’s anxiety. Camille did a thorough job with fulfilling my cat’s needs from making sure she has enough food and water to giving her lots of love every day. She was great with keeping my place clean and took the litter trash out. She also left me a cute little Polaroid photo of my kitty ❤️ Thanks, Camille for taking care of Mim and I will definitely hire you again when out of town.”

“Hannah took care of my cat over the holidays, and it brought me peace of mind to know he was being cared for by someone who clearly loves cats. I received lots of cute photos and video updates that showed my cat was well-loved while I was away! Thank you Hannah!”
“Anita has been an absolute delight!! She was very effective in communicating the details regarding my cats in a timely and effective manner. My cats , who generally do not open up to new people, were comfortable with Anita just in a couple of days if interaction. She took really good care of the cats and the surroundings. I am highly impressed by her work ethics and love for the furry pets.”
“Shelby took great care of my cats, who are both a little more work than the average cat. I came home to happy cats, showing that Shelby gave them great attention during their visits. The updates, pictures, and responsive communication were much appreciated.”
About: While I grew up in a dog family, I've embraced my fate as a cat lady in adulthood! After rescuing my (giant) Norwegian Forest Cat over 5 years ago, I've fallen in love with felines and cared for them via Rover bookings as well as directly for friends and colleagues. After a lot of patience and creating a safe environment for the two of them, my cat and dog are now besties! At the same time, they’re incredibly different animals, with their own way of looking at the world, both of which I respect :). For 10 years, I have walked and cared for many family's, friends’ and colleagues' dogs and cats of all ages, and recently opened my network to my neighborhood. **Currently, I am open for cat/dog drop-ins. Please see all service options (including add-ons) in my profile and feel free to reach out with questions!** The bottom line is: the safety of your cats/dogs is my top priority. I know how it is. I’ve used Rover and other services for my pets, and I understand how it feels to entrust another person with your fur-kiddo. I am patient and will give you whatever you need to feel comfortable with me as a caregiver — from answering questions, to a meet-and-greet (in person or on zoom), to picture updates all along the way. Every cat is different, and I want to know what makes your cat unique so I can provide him/her with the best care. I’m a good communicator — from medications to escape artists to fear triggers and everything in between, you can rest assured we will be on the same page.
“We loved having Lindsay care for our cats! She's dependable, responsive, and gives the best updates with plenty of pictures, videos, and recaps of the days events. It's clear she loves cats and knows a lot about them. Would definitely recommend her to others :)”
“She did an amazing job with our boys! Ayman is super attentive to detail and a kind soul. She has a clear understanding of cat behavior and that's exactly what we were looking for. Definitely will book again!”
“Brandi was very prompt and responsive, from initial inquiry, meet & greet to all the way end of our week-long trip. The kitties were very well taken care of! We were very appreciative of the daily communication and lots of pictures. We can see that Brandi truly cares and loves animals, rather than just doing a “job”. Will definitely book again when needed!”
“Jessica was fantastic! She followed our requests to the dot and it seems our cats enjoyed Jessica’s company. If you’re looking for someone who is great with animals, will share constant updates, and even keep your house clean, Jessica is the one!”
“Shari is the best human and my cats love her. She is also kind, thorough, and expert in care. She helped me last minute while I was in the hospital and her kindness is par none.”

Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
“Angelica was great. She accommodated some changes to our schedule, and the communications were prompt. We had a fantastic day, knowing our pup was in good hands. We would use her again in a heartbeat next time in Pasadena. Thank you Angelica!”
About: I raised my 2 mini schnauzers from puppyhood through their twilight years and loved every second of it. We made many other dog friends along the way, including the occasional sleepover. I work remotely from home, so it’s easy for me to adapt to whatever schedule your dog is used to! I travel for 2-3 weeks in the year around (but typically not during) holidays. My apartment complex is gated with great walking areas for the community’s many pets. A public park is just next door with hiking trails for higher energy pups. I also have extra beds, crates, leashes, bowls, and toys if you forget yours or prefer not to haul them around.
“Happy that we were accommodated even though it was last minute. I got pictures of Nala & Nova playing outside and resting. I can tell Susan and Seo Kyung loves doggies!”
“Winston had a great time with Victoria, Herb & Bella. Lovely gated yard & home to play in. Winston definitely has a new girlfriend - thanks for the great care! Looking forward to booking again soon!”
“Daisy is wonderful! Shes excited to see Star and gives her plenty of potty breaks. She’s understanding that Star is a senior dog who loves her naps and chill time. She’s also very responsive.”
“Jonalyn was fantastic with my dog! She sent so many photos and kept Mocha busy and got her tired, which is hard to do. Mocha is usually nervously reluctant to separate from me, but every time we went to Jonalyn's, she got so excited. Definitely booking again!”
“Amanda was GREAT! From start to finish, she helped my anxious dog feel so comfortable. She was both Kind & Excellent at communicating! Would definitely recommend & book again(:”
“So grateful for Therese being able to take Zoe for daycare on semi short notice, very personable with easy and quick communication. Felt very comfortable leaving Zoe with Therese Will definitely be back, thanks again!”
“Frances took care of our dog, Kepler, during the day while we were out of town. We live in the same neighborhood, so Kepler is already familiar with Frances and will happily greet her on his walks. Frances sent us lots of photos and video of him having fun playing with other dogs at the park. He was really happy when he came home and immediately took a nap. :D We highly recommend Frances if you are looking for someone to look after your dog for the day. Thank you so much!”
“Heather was great with Riggs. She absolutely spoiled Riggs with love and activity. She sent plenty of awesome pictures, I loved seeing him have so much fun with her and her dog. We are home now and he is completely wiped out from having such a fun day. Thank you Heather, we’ll be booking another daycare service real soon.”
“the absolute best. I felt so comfortable leaving my son with her. She was always sending me photos and updates and you can tell she genuinely cares about animals. Would highly recommend!!”
“Jing was truly amazing with my dogs! From the very first meeting, they were instantly calm around her, which never happens with new people. She has such a gentle, grounding presence, and you can tell she genuinely understands animals. Before the actual sitting, she even took them for a walk at the park to help them get comfortable with her, which I appreciated so much. Throughout the day, Jing kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me total peace of mind. She was incredibly communicative, reliable, and attentive to every detail. My dogs absolutely adored her, and I could see how well cared for and relaxed they were when I got home. I would definitely use her services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and thoughtful sitter!”
“Felicia is dependable and reliable. My pup has been in her care multiple times and he loves it. When we get to her place my pup immediately gets excited and runs toward her to take him to go play. Love that she is particular with the group of dogs she is caring so I know that my pup is safe. Highly recommend Felicia.”
“Yoko provided daytime dog sitting at her apartment for two consecutive weeks. Our small dog quickly bonded with Yoko and made clear she looked forward to her daily visits. Yoko is highly conscientious, warm, and easy to work with. We look forward to booking additional time with her for our dog.”
“Sojeong and her parents took excellent care of our 2 reactive pups! My family and I dropped off our furbabies for daycare before heading to Universal Studios. Zoe is usually afraid of boys/men but she surprisingly had no problem walking with Sojeong's father! We were able to enjoy our time at Universal Studios without our furbabies because they appeared to be in good hands. Sojeong was incredibly patient and responsive. She provided multiple status, photo and video updates throughout their stay. My family and I highly recommend Sojeong, and we will book with Sojeong again the next time we're in town! 😊”
“Sirius had a great time at Gigi and Steven's! Sirius can be a little anxious around new dogs, but it seemed like he was able to quickly make some new friends! Sirius can also be a bit of an escape artist, so I loved how secure Gigi & Steven's place was. Thanks again!”

“Shirley was amazing taking my dog on walks in the middle of the day. My dog is very high energy and she was great handling his big personality! She went above and beyond to give my dog great walks!”
“I have a Great Dane who is very reactive to people and moving objects. I needed a walker in an emergency and contacted rover and choose Julien to walk him 2 times a day. I was worried at first however after our meet and greet I felt confident with my choice. Julien was perfect! He handled my precious dog with ease and confidence. Even when my dog did a few naughty things in my house he kindly took action and handled the problem as well as notified me and help correct the issue. Moving forward I would choose Julian for all of my needs walking Siren.”
About: I have taken care of dogs from 5 lbs up to 92 lbs. All dogs have big hearts! I currently have a senior special needs dog, so being attentive is natural. I will always ask for allergies or special needs your pet may have. I am currently working from home, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am currently available 6 days a week. I have a senior dog that can provide company for your dog. Small or long walks are fine. I can also crate a dog, if needed.
“Lijuan is an excellent dog walker! She is often available for our late notice requests to for us and very easy to communicate with! We’ve gotten into a nice routine with her and our dog and cat love her! Really appreciate her care and the work she puts in for our animals. :)”
About: Animals have been a big part of my life since I was little! I’ve trained all my dogs with basic commands and often help friends with theirs. My dog is now a senior, so I understand the special care and patience older pets need as well My schedule is flexible since I work remotely, so I have plenty of time to play with and care for your dog or cat! I usually take dogs for walks around the neighborhood every 4 hours, but I’m happy to adjust based on your pet’s needs. I treat every pet like my own! Whether they stay at my place or I care for them in their home, I make sure they feel loved, comfortable, and safe. I stick to their normal schedule for feeding, walks, and playtime, and I always give them lots of attention and affection. I also like to send regular updates and photos so you can see how they’re doing

“Stephanie is great. She’s walked our new pup for us while we are at work. Always very responsive, leaves great pictures, and the Rover “report card” for walks is so cute! Just like daycare you know what your dog did while you were gone.”
“Carlos was fantastic with our pup, who has some behavioral issues. He’s thoughtful and communicative, putting me at ease right away. Our high-energy pup came back tired, which is a minor miracle.”
“Amanda has a lot of patience when it comes to walking dogs — particularly my senior Cushing’s pup who can sometimes be stubborn about her midday stroll. Still, it hasn’t taken much for her to bond with my baby! I look forward to continuing to use her services!”
“April did a great job walking Lily - detailed report, was prompt and on time and kindly arranged a meet and greet ahead of time to make sure everything went smoothly! Will definitely have her walk Lily again! Thank you!”

About: Hi! I’m Taylor — an animal lover with 10+ years of experience and 5 years as a veterinary technician. I’m comfortable caring for all pets, from dogs and cats to exotics, and I’m trained to give medications and handle most behavioral challenges. Your pets’ safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority. My schedule is extremely flexible, which means I can be available whenever you and your pets need me. Whether it’s holidays, early mornings, or evenings, I’m here to help. When caring for someone’s pet in their home, I always follow their routine as closely as possible to keep the pet comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they have fresh food and water, give any needed medications, provide walks or playtime, and keep their space clean. I also send updates and photos so owners feel connected while they’re away. My goal is to maintain a safe, calm, and familiar environment where each pet feels secure and cared for.
About: I've had my own dogs and cats for most of my life ranging from easy going to skittish and temperamental. I've been a go to pet carer for family, friends, and for hire since I was a teenager. I have experience with pets with complex dietary needs, medication regiments, very shy animals who don't deal well with being apart from their families, and high energy critters who need lots of stimulation. I treat them all with the patience and kindness they deserve while they are apart from their owners. I'm not living with a pet for the first time in a long time and miss I am working part time, which leaves me very flexible to care for your pets on your schedule as needed for drop in care or longer stays with your pet in their own home including nights, weekends, and overnights. I have a spacious hatchback that I can use to transport your pets. I cannot care for pets in my own home due to a highly allergic roommate, but I can fetch pets and take them wherever they need to be.
“Nataly was amazing with our dog Mia! We were so happy to receive a ton of photos after every walk. She was very thorough in her Rover cards, had outstanding communication, and was open to doing a meet and greet with us beforehand. We will definitely be reaching out to her for walks in the future!”

“Yuhong took care of my kitty while I was on a long vacation. We met prior to ensure Meru could meet Yuhong and it was clear Meru was going to be in great hands. Usually my neighbors will feed my cats while I’m on trips, but one of my cats crossed the rainbow bridge recently, and it gave me such peace of mind that Meru was not alone and had ample sweet and caring company with Yuhong and her husband. Meru had never been away from our home so she (and I) was nervous at first, but warmed up to Yuhong quickly. Yuhong played with Meru twice a day to keep her spirits up. I’m grateful this worked out and to have found a wonderful sitter moving forward!”

Ziggy usually takes a little while to warm up in a new environment and people, but she felt right at home almost immediately during the meet up it was obvious she felt safe and happy. We’ve already booked with her again for next week. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter!”

Thank you Dodonna and family!! We love you and appreciate you!! See you next time!!”
