“May took excellent care of our dog for the 5 days we were out of town. The communication was great and we enjoyed the daily photo/video updates. Will definitely book again.”
“Michael did an AMAZING job taking care of our dog. Very conscientious and careful, he took her on lots of walks and went above and beyond to ensure she was comfortable at his home. This was our first pet sitting experience and he really put us at ease. He also sent photos everyday and we felt our dog was watched after as one of his own. Great job!”
“Takako and her husband were amazing! This was my first time leaving Gracie and they made me feel so comfortable about everything. I received daily updates and photos from Takako and they took such good care of Gracie. It was so easy to coordinate with them. I will definitely have them watch Gracie again in the future. I highly recommend!!”
“Churro had a great time at Kimberly’s🐶💚 It was our first time leaving Churro with someone outside of family and we were extremely nervous, but Kimberly’s warm, friendly and sweet personality won us (esp Churro!) over and her daily pictures and check-ins gave us such a relief and peace of mind while we were away. Churro even made new friends and I think he was genuinely happy to be a part of Kimberly’s pack. She is a genuine dog lover and I’m so grateful I found such a gem of a person/family on Rover to take such amazing care of my baby 🩷 Thank you so much for all your love and awesomeness!!! 🩵💙💜🤍”
“Danielle & her family were amazing!!!! Extremely communicative, flexible, and kind when watching my 5-year-old (often anxious) foxhound. She had no issue when my pickup and drop off times kept changing, and even fed her some of their dog’s food (after getting our permission) when she ran out during Clementine’s stay (our fault - we miscounted). Clementine seemed super at ease staying there and we will definitely be using Danielle again in the future :)”
“Robin was great! She was very communicative and kept us updated throughout our trip, including sending us pictures of our pup. We really appreciated the updates and felt comfortable knowing he was in good hands. We would definitely use her again!”
“Our dog was in great hands while we were on vacation! Our dog had a separation anxiety and did not want to eat, but Pat fed him to make sure he is still eating. She and her husband took my dog on a number of walks everyday. Definitely would book with her again! Highly recommended. Thank you!”
“Nicole and her family were absolutely amazing, I highly recommend her! Nicole is incredibly kind and is clearly really good with dogs. She took care of our Australian Shepherd Obi-wan over the Christmas holidays and really went above and beyond caring for him and keeping us updated the entire time. Our dog is very high energy and her dog Teddy was a perfect playmate, they have a wonderful backyard and doggie door for them to run around in. Nicole sent us several pictures and videos every day, and gave us detailed information about how he was settling in. It was so comforting to know that he was well taken care of while we were away! In addition to playtime with Teddy they also took Obi on a hike and were very attentive to all of his needs. We feel so lucky to have found such a great place for our dog and will definitely board with her again!”
“My dog came back super happy and clearly loved his stay! I received pictures of him playing and having a great time, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and reliable pet sitter.”
“Corinne and Christopher are great Rover sitters. They were very responsive to messages and most importantly took great care of my girl Busaba. I felt like she was in good hands. I would definitely recommend them and would use them again.”
“Ruda is professional, and provides a truly safe and trusting environment for pets . We felt completely comfortable leaving Joy in their care. Both Nicole and Ruda are game with pet care instructions to a T and they kept us updated with walks, meals, and photos, so we always knew how Joy was doing. You can tell they genuinely care about the pets they board. We had a wonderful experience boarding Joy with them . We felt completely comfortable leaving Joy in their care.”
“Yating took good care of my cat Sofi for the second time! It’s always reassuring to leave Sofi with someone she already knows and trusts, and Yating provided such thoughtful and attentive care again.”
“Meredith is the perfect person to take care of your dog while you are away. I'm so so thankful I found her. Neptune was treated like her own and I loved all of the pictures and updates she sent every day. Thank you Meredith!”

“My dog had a great experience with Alix and her family! She was so happy. Alix sent pictures and gave me updates through out my dogs stay. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that Honey was happy and safe. I would recommend her to anyone wanting a safe, comfortable place for their dogs.”
“Wei is really great! He took care of our dogs very well. Also he successfully manage to feed my dog medication, which is really helpful. Our dogs were having a lot of fun with Wei.”

It is great to know he is in good hands when I travel, and I would definitely recommend her for all your cat sitting needs.”

“Jiawen!! You were such a dream to work with. She payed such close attention to our kitties who will miss her dearly. I loved all her notes and will definitely rebook in the future”
About: I have two cats of my own, each with their own special needs. One requires medication via syringe in the mouth, eye drops, and even spoon-feeding nightly. The other one just likes to eat.... I'll make sure your cat(s) are taken care of and loved, even if it means I get in trouble with my own cats.
About: I'm very comfortable around cats and understand that they have different needs than dogs, especially around routine and low-stress handling. I'm attentive to litter box maintenance, feeding schedules, and fresh water, and I know cats often prefer a calm, unhurried visit rather than a lot of noise or disruption. I pay close attention to each cat's comfort level and won't force interaction if a cat prefers space. I follow your instructions closely for feeding, medication, or specific care needs, and I always make sure doors and windows are secure before I leave. I'll send photo updates each visit so you know your cat is safe and well cared for.
“Paz was amazing! She took care of everything, that I asked her to do. Sent pictures during the visits. And my cat wasn’t meowing much after leaving him for 4 days, which is a huge win. Very happy with the results.”
“Patricia is so kind and easy to talk to! She took great care of my cat while I was out of town and gave me updates each day to let me know how things were going.”
“Audrey was so great with our sweet cat, Milo. She is exceptionally timely, provides great updates and photos, and super resourceful - helping us troubleshoot an issue with our autofeeder. We are super appreciative. This was our second time working with Audrey, and we will again!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my 30+ years as a professional dog trainer, combined with my calm, compassionate approach to animal care.

I also have experience caring for both energetic puppies and senior dogs with special needs, ensuring they receive the right balance of exercise, patience, and gentle attention. My availability is very adaptable, offering flexibility throughout both weekdays and weekends. With at least one week’s advance notice, I can easily accommodate your scheduling needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat them with the same love and attention I gave my own. I follow each pet’s daily routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I maintain a clean, calm environment, ensuring their comfort and safety at all times. With my background in dog training, I’m skilled at reading canine body language, which helps me provide reassurance and reduce stress while their family is away.
About: I’ve always loved animals and have hands-on experience caring for cats with lots of patience, attention, and affection. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to make them feel safe and cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I treat every pet like family and make sure they receive plenty of love and attention. I work three days a week from the office and two days from home, and I have flexible working hours even on my office days. This allows me to plan my schedule around the needs of the pets in my care and provide consistent attention, feeding, playtime, and companionship. On my work-from-home days, I’m able to spend even more time with them throughout the day. I’m happy to follow each pet’s usual routine and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while they’re with me. I do not accept pet kn my home right now since I hace cats myself, I know how stressful it can be for cats to be around stranger cats

“Daisy is hands down the best pet sitter I’ve ever had! My senior dog is pretty high maintenance, she takes medications, has a complicated feeding routine, and has separation anxiety/hard time opening up to strangers but she immediately warmed up to Daisy. I appreciated all the pictures and prompt updates she sent me while I was away, I can’t recommend her enough.”
About: I have lived with so many different animals, I am highly observant. I can quickly pick up on subtle changes in a pet's mood or health, ensuring they feel safe and understood while you are away. I am College student who has entered his summer break. I want to use this time to enjoy my time with pets and earn cash. I provide attentive, personalized care tailored to each pet’s unique routine. Whether at your home or mine, I ensure a safe, nurturing environment with plenty of play, companionship, and reliable consistency.
“Shaneli was AMAZING! We reached out with a last minute request due to our other sitter cancelling, and she was super responsive. Our Bunny is a little nervous, but she immediately took to Shaneli. I couldn’t believe it!! Highly recommend, can’t wait to have her again.”
About: Hi! I’m quite the cat lady who understands how important routine, patience, and gentle care are for cats of all personalities. Whether your cat is playful, shy, cuddly, senior, or full of kitten energy, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. From playtime and brushing to enrichment, treats, and detailed updates, I care for every cat like they’re my own. 🐾 I adopted two kittens in January 2026 and later foster-failed with two more, so my home is very much cat-run these days. I’ve also fostered 31 kittens and cats through a SoCal rescue (Feline Lifeline) over the last year, caring for everyone from 5-week-old kittens to 3-year-old adults. Some of my foster litters have included up to five kittens at once, which means I’m experienced with frequent feeding schedules, weigh-ins, medication routines, monitoring behavior changes, and giving extra attention to kittens needing special care. Fostering has taught me how to stay calm, attentive, and adaptable while making sure every cat gets individualized care and attention. I also have experience caring for shy cats and cats with medical needs. If your cat prefers hiding under the couch at first, I completely understand — I’m happy to sit nearby, move at their pace, and earn their trust with patience (and maybe a few treats and chin scratches). You can expect reliable communication, thoughtful care, adorable photo updates, and someone who truly loves cats as much as you do. 💜
“When my husband and I brought home our puppy, Bridget, our biggest concern was how she would be cared for while we’re at work. Alice and Trey alleviated any worries and then some! They are communicative, attentive, and treat Bridget like one of their own. I can go to work with total confidence and peace of mind that she is well cared for and enjoying fresh air, exercise, and socialization. They have been nothing short of a blessing for us as our pup grows!”
About: Hello! My name is Cecelia and I am so excited to get to know you and your pet! Growing up, I have always had a dog in my house and all of my extended family members have pets as well. I love going to parks and finding exciting and fun places. I love taking walks and am able to handle any sized pet. I have my own transportation so errands are not a problem. When not at work, my schedule is very flexible and I am a very easy going person. I work in biotech M-F and have weekends off. I will always send pics of your fur baby and as many updates as you’d like! I have a mini goldendoodle (30lbs) named Ollie who is such a love bug and gets along with any sized dog. Cant wait to meet your fur baby :) M-F I work in office for about 9 hours a day and am home no later than 4pm most days. When home, I love to take my dog on walks around the neighborhood or take him to a park. On the weekends, I bring my dog to get coffee with me and we take a walk on the beach. I love being as active as I can with my dog and would love for your pet to join us! I provide a safe, calm, and enriching environment with plenty of exercise, attention, and supervision. I live in a dog-friendly condo community directly across from a park, so dogs enjoy regular walks, potty breaks, and outdoor time throughout the day. We also take neighborhood walks on the many nearby sidewalks, and sometimes stroll through One Paseo for new sights and smells (with owner approval). On weekends, I’m typically home, so pets receive lots of companionship and aren’t left alone for long periods. When I do run errands, I often bring dogs along if we’re visiting pet-friendly places. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while keeping their routine as close to home as possible.

“Angelica took such great care of our 4 month old puppy, Tapioca. She sent us pictures throughout the day and took him on 3 walks! Plus, their dachshund, Copper, was also wonderful playmate. We will definitely reach out again for dog sitting with Angelica.”
About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family and friends. I am pretty open nowadays. Ready to take care of your furry babies as much as needed! Also, have my helpers ( my kids off school, are ready to help)! Right now I am open to come and take care of your pets! Always willing to come first to get to know your pets, and introduce myself. Folowing the rules and instructions- that’s number one priority. Safety, Trust, Care and Love only!
“Kimberly and her family are absolutely FANTASTIC! I only trust my pup, Rizzo, in their care. They treat him as one of their own and I feel so incredibly lucky for them! Thank you!!!’”
About: I grew up around dogs and caring for them comes naturally to me. My partner and I share a comfortable home with a fenced backyard and our own friendly, dog-social husky, who makes a wonderful companion for visiting dogs. Having a husky, I’m especially comfortable with high-energy breeds and know how to keep active dogs exercised, engaged, and happy. Because there are two of is and we’re flexible during the day, your down is rarely left alone. There’s almost always someone home for feeding, play, and cuddles. I come from a hospitality and food-service background, so attentive care, cleanliness, and clear communication are things I take seriously. I’ll send plenty of photo updates so you can relax knowing your dog is safe and having fun. I treat every dog like a member of the family, and I’d love to do the same for yours! My partner and I both have flexible daytime schedules, so there’s almost always someone to feed, walk, and play with your dog. We can accommodate your dog’s normal routine, whether that means early morning walks, midday play, or evening cuddles. We plan our own schedules around our boarding guests, so your dog gets consistent attention and is rarely left alone during their stay. Our home has a securely fenced backyard where dogs can play and burn energy safely, and our friendly husky makes a great companion for social guests. We keep the space clean and dog-proofed, with fresh water always available and secure fencing so no one slips out. We’re comfortable crating if that’s part of your dog’s routine, and we’re happy to follow your feeding, medication, and exercise instructions closely. Dogs are never left unattended in the yard, and we send regular photo updates so you always know your pup is safe and content.
“She is the BEST!! Thank you for taking wonderful care of our dog Cosmo while we were away. She is very attentive and knowledgable with dogs. He was tired when we got home, which tells me he had a great time and got plenty of exercise & attention. She provided frequent updates of how our dog was doing which gave us so much peace of mind. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend to anyone looking for trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you so much!”
“I am thrilled to have found Deborah on Rover. My little newly adopted rescue dog has separation anxiety and I’ve needed to have her in daycare several times a week. Deborah and her family and dog, Teddy, have provided a second home for my pup. She has thrived in the safe, caring, loving environment of their home. Deborah is reliable and responsive, and has been very accommodating to my needs. She is cheerful, friendly and kind, always giving me peace of mind while I’m away.”
About: I’ve loved animals since I was a kid! I have volunteered for my local animal shelter and have experience fostering puppies and animals recovering from surgeries! My house is filled with love by my two cats and dog, all rescued! <3 I work from home full time, with a dedicated office space with plenty of dog beds, and a fenced in bark yard. I go on about a 2-mile walk a day with my pupper, Irwin, and am usually home the rest of the day! On the weekends we might be gone from 3-4 hours at times! I have a fenced yard and a very friendly Catahoula Leopard Dog who absolutely lovesssss friends. I am very flexible and can make whatever schedule you need work.
About: “I’ve been caring for my own three dogs for over 13 years, giving me extensive hands-on experience with feeding, walking, grooming, and basic training. Over the years, I’ve learned how to understand different dog personalities, recognize their needs, and make them feel safe, loved, and happy. Whether it’s playtime, long walks, or simply providing companionship, I truly enjoy spending time with dogs and treating them like part of my family. I am currently working part time. I am available to provide pet care every day — morning and afternoon — including walks, feeding, and playtime. “In my home, I make sure every pet feels comfortable and safe. I provide a clean, cozy space, fresh water, regular feeding, and plenty of playtime and walks. I follow each owner’s routine closely to make pets feel right at home and keep them happy and relaxed.”

You can tell Ruda is a "dog person" and he took very good care of my boy and took him on walks even though he didn't have a very long stay at his home. Drop off and pick up was super easy too. Thanks Ruda! We will be coming back again.”
“I’m so glad we found Caitlin. She was super flexible and available for us bright and early. She was also the perfect calm our puppy needed. I could tell my puppy was very excited to go back to her home.”

About: Hi! I’m Angelica, a dedicated Dachshund mom and lifelong dog lover. I grew up with dogs and now share my home with my Dachshund, Copper. After Copper’s back surgery, I became especially knowledgeable in Dachshund-specific care, including IVDD awareness, gentle handling, proper lifting, medication administration, and mobility support. I provide thoughtful accommodations like ramps for furniture access and a calm, safe environment tailored to long-backed pups. I have experience caring for small dogs of all ages and temperaments, especially those who need extra patience, structure, or TLC. For safety reasons related to my dog’s recovery, I’m currently accepting dogs up to 25 lbs. I’d love to give your Dachshund (or small pup!) attentive, loving, and knowledgeable care. I have a very open schedule, so your pup will be never alone, I can do potty breaks from 0-2hrs, on weekends we love to do longer walks if your dog is conformable with that. Also we spend hours playing in the backyard so your dog will be never bored! I have a fenced yard, where your dog and I can spend hours playing! Furry friends are allowed on the couch and bed, unless you prefer not to. My house is smoke free, no kids, but full of love, care, cuddles and fun! Our dog is house trained and neutered :)
About: I can understand the sometimes uneasy feeling of leaving your four legged family member with someone else. That’s where I come in! I will be your pet’s new best friend and take care of them with the love and care that I would for my own - making sure runners don’t escape, that your daschund is picked up mindfully of their back, your maltipoo’s coat is maintained, your anxious dog is approached with gentleness and patience. No pet care is one-size-fits all and I will customize your pet’s experience to their individualized needs and desires. I have over 10 years of experience with dog sitting both large and small dogs. Behavioral correction is the priority and I may be a small person, but if your dog pulls, I can lift 145+ lbs. I have experience from training puppies all the way up to senior dog care. I can care for senior dogs and accommodate to any mobility issues as well! I care for the safety and emotional wellbeing of all animals and provide compassionate care. I’m excited to meet my new friend! Let me know if there any questions or concerns I can address and we can work on a game plan for your little one. Depending on the day I may be available throughout the morning/afternoon/evening. Generally house sitting is available every day. Weekend availability varies but I can be accommodating based on scheduling requirements. I offer care in the client’s home only as of right now, and can provide excursions for extra enrichment as needed. I can help with exercising active dogs in an effective manner this way.

“Garrett was awesome walking my 2 pups. Garrett really helped us of a bind at short notice. He was responsive, friendly and my dogs immediately liked him from the moment they met!”
“Ivi is the absolute best! She cares for your dog, as if they are her own. That’s hard to find! She consistently would walk Koda longer just because he was having fun. She communicated every detail and sent lots of pictures. She even bought him a cooling collar for a super hot day. She’s super flexible and was available last minute. My family is relocating and I wish I could take Ivi with us. I never had to worry when I left for work because I knew Ivi would take care of my dog. Ivi was the perfect dog walker and I can’t thank her enough for taking care of my pup.”
“The absolute best dog walker on the planet! Mind, caring and conscientious. Really wants the animals to have a good time. Took excellent care of my pup, amazing communication. Got back to me right away! I’m absolutely so happy to have made a great connection.”
“Debbie is absolutely a gem! She was so open to walking Cuzco for me, he felt comfortable with her. She kept up in communication with me while I was away. She went above and beyond for him, and I’m so grateful!”

About: I have taken care of friends and neighbors pups for many years, and the only reason I don't have dogs of my own... is because of my two cats I am between jobs at this time, therefore I am very flexible with my time. In the long run will continue to work around it to make sure your pets are taken care of. I will not be able (at this time) to take care of pets overnight in my own home. Will work in / around your home.
“Rachel has been great with our dogs! She’s reliable, communicative, and always sends photos and updates after her visits, which we really appreciate. Our puppy, Harlow, has a lot of energy, and our older dog, Dixie Mae, has a very different pace, but Rachel does a wonderful job with both of them. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. We’re so happy we found Rachel and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog walker.”

“Michael did an AMAZING job taking care of our dog. Very conscientious and careful, he took her on lots of walks and went above and beyond to ensure she was comfortable at his home. This was our first pet sitting experience and he really put us at ease. He also sent photos everyday and we felt our dog was watched after as one of his own. Great job!”
“Our dog was in great hands while we were on vacation! Our dog had a separation anxiety and did not want to eat, but Pat fed him to make sure he is still eating. She and her husband took my dog on a number of walks everyday. Definitely would book with her again! Highly recommended. Thank you!”
“My dog came back super happy and clearly loved his stay! I received pictures of him playing and having a great time, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and reliable pet sitter.”
“Corinne and Christopher are great Rover sitters. They were very responsive to messages and most importantly took great care of my girl Busaba. I felt like she was in good hands. I would definitely recommend them and would use them again.”
“Alina was an amazing sitter for our 80 lb lab! She was so professional, providing daily updates with photos and videos. Alina’s positive energy was genuine and it was clear our dog was very comfortable with her and her family. I highly recommend Alina!!”
“My dog had a great experience with Alix and her family! She was so happy. Alix sent pictures and gave me updates through out my dogs stay. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that Honey was happy and safe. I would recommend her to anyone wanting a safe, comfortable place for their dogs.”
“thank you, Anna for your care of Sadie! We got great uodates with photos, all instructions were followed, and everything went very smooth! Sadie seems excited to go back and enjoy the big yard again :)”
About: While I have been taking care of animals and dogs just about my whole life, I have been officially doing so as of 6 years ago. I began by meeting people in "the wild" and offering meet and greets free of charge for their pet into my home so they could ensure they felt the most safe and able to actually relax knowing their pet was in a good place while they were gone. From building these connections, I have had the privilege of watching their pets for multiple years and made great connections. I have experience watching puppies, adjusting to schedules, and live a very active life style that makes caring for your dog quite natural for me! I have a larger vehicle for transportation and I am familiar with using the E-Collar if your pet uses that as well. I just graduated with my Master's degree and am currently in a break period before I start my full time job. This means currently that I am very flexible and am able to be home more often with your pet! I have more free time now and would love to return to pet sitting and get some new clients. I have a small yard that is mainly for potty reasons, and no other pets. In others homes, I am adaptable and can adjust to what you need. I also do "meet and greets" for your pet if you are interested, free of charge, for them to sniff around the home and for your to see where they would be staying. I also have portable AC units in our home to keep the rooms cool for your dog, especially with this heat.
“Linda and Zach were great to Noodle!! They sent me photos, were extremely responsive and my pup was nice and tired from his stay. Would have them watch Noodle again! 😌”
“Very happy with our experience. Our dog had a great time with Ryan's family. Ryan was easy to communicate with and he was very accommodating when our travel plans changed unexpectedly at the last minute and we had to extend the boarding for a few days.”
“Mayank is incredible with my sweet Daisy girl. I have boarded with them more than once, and I always receive regular updates & pictures. Daisy has the time of her life.”
“Olivia and Sebastien were so great with Bailey! They watched her for several days and took such good care of her! I could tell Bailey felt really comfortable with them! Would definitely have them watch Bailey again!”
“Gelare was amazing! She watched our dog Kobe for the weekend. We scheduled a meetup beforehand and we felt very comfortable knowing Gelare is a real animal person. Gelare kept us updated with photos and videos while we were away. We would definitely ask Gelare to watch Kobe again.”
About: I’ve loved animals since I was a kid! I have volunteered for my local animal shelter and have experience fostering puppies and animals recovering from surgeries! My house is filled with love by my two cats and dog, all rescued! <3 I work from home full time, with a dedicated office space with plenty of dog beds, and a fenced in bark yard. I go on about a 2-mile walk a day with my pupper, Irwin, and am usually home the rest of the day! On the weekends we might be gone from 3-4 hours at times! I have a fenced yard and a very friendly Catahoula Leopard Dog who absolutely lovesssss friends. I am very flexible and can make whatever schedule you need work.
“Gina was great, communicated what was going on with my dog and made sure I was always informed. My dog seamed happy to be in her care. I’d trust her with my dog any day.”
“I would leave 6 stars if I could. Luciane took good care of our puppies, who were clearly very well loved during their stay. Booking was easy, communication was great, and the photos she sent were absolutely heartwarming. She had treats and toys and puzzles for the dogs... I couldn't recommend her enough. Thank you so much!”
“Ehda and her mother took great care of our dog. He is a nervous around new people. They were very gentle and patient with him. We will definately use her again.”
“Jaxson loved staying with Lauren! She sent plenty of photos and in each one he looked so happy. Will definitely love to have Lauren doggy sit Jaxson in the future!”
