“I can’t say enough about Chris. My frenchie came back happy and healthy after four days of staying overnight. I got updates every day and got the sweetest photos during my trip. Chris took my baby boy to see the Christmas lights, went on walks, runs, you name it. Now I’m worried Monkey is going to miss his new best friend lol. Thank you Chris for giving me peace of mind and taking such good care of my furry child.”
“Andrew and Karrie were willing and able to accept a very last minute request to board my dog at 9 pm on a Friday night. Cassie enjoyed her stay at their house and I would definitely use them again if I find myself in the area again.”
“My cat is always skittish at the beginning of boarding or any routine changes, but I could see how content and playful she looked in the photos and videos Cayley sent. I think she enjoyed the small family environment and was given everything she needed. Thank you for taking in Smoke when other plans didn't work out! We're glad to expand her circle of caregivers.”
“We would 100% recommend Chase for pet sitting. He was so kind and flexible when our plans changed last minute. He sent pictures each day, was able to give her daily medications and overall took very good care of our Millie. He provided a safe and calm home that is very much appreciated. Will use again!”
“Just the most lovely family! They took such good care of my pup while I was away. I highly recommend them! Thanks so much for your patience and kindness with my pup.”
“Kareen is a very calm, gentle and patient. She understood our dog was fearful of new situations and allowed her to adjust at her own rate. Kareen also allowed our dog to eat some of her dog’s food when our dog wouldn’t eat her own. We recommend Kareen and will continue to request her services!”
“We had a great experience leaving our dogs with Thomas. Communication was excellent, and drop-off and pick-up were very easy and smooth. We felt comfortable the entire time and will definitely book with him again next time. 🐾😊”

Gave him 3-4 walks during the day, played with him and took such great care of him! We will always leave our dog with Rajarshi! Rajarshi’s background and experience in fostering dogs makes him one of the most experienced & well rounded pet sitter who you can trust blindfoldedly! I would say that anyone and everyone can trust him with their pets! I wish I could give him 10 stars ⭐️ but 5 is the maximum we can give so giving him 5 stars!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

She is very trustworthy and caring, and we will most definitely book her again in the future! :)”
About: I have been caring for dogs since a young age, regularly helping friends and neighbors with pet sitting and dog walking. I also gained experience working for a dog walking/pet sitting company in Sacramento, where I provided reliable, attentive care for approximately one year. After relocating to Los Angeles to continue my college education, I brought that same dedication and passion for animal care with me. I am currently studying to become a certified personal trainer, so I have plenty of free time to check in for a potty break or to take your pup on a nice long walk. I am free during the week after 10am and can be available for most weekends. I always want to make sure that the pet feels the most comfortable in their own home. Whether they are excited to see me or may be more hesitant, I always stay patient and meet them where they are at.
About: I grew up in a family that had cats and loved it! I also was taking care of my neighbors 2 cats at a younger age and cared for families pets short term frequently. At 15 finally got my own 2 kittens and since then I have gotten and raised 2 more kittens who I am the sole carer for. Additionally I spent a summer taking care of my mothers friends cats in Arizona, and truly enjoyed it, so I in no way mind longer term pet sitting/check ins! I love cats however have been praised in my ability to recognize when they want space or are simply shy, and respect that boundary, so you will not have to worry about my overwhelming or bombarding your cat(s) - who I would love to take care of or play with!
“Jeffrey has been a great help to us when traveling. He's cared for our dogs, cats, chickens, and even helped with watering some plants while we're gone during a heat wave. He is my go to for pet assistance when we go out of town.”

About: I've cared for cats since I was a kid. I love their personalities and loving qualities. I enjoy getting to know them & their owners. I'm a Purrfect fit for your feline companions. Multiple cats welcome, kittens, older cats too.
“My rescue dog struggles with trusting people and when I contacted Emily about it she was so nice and gentle about her approach to meeting Shae. Ever since the meet and greet she was patient and loving and my dog ended up warming up to her in just a couple of visits. It is really hard to find someone who is truly caring and understanding of fearful dogs. She was also very accommodating to our needs, Thank you, Emily!”
“Meghan was great! She watched my 2 cats while we were out of town and did a great job with them, including my cat which requires medication. She was great with communicating with us by sending lots of photos and statuses as well as responding quickly whenever we reached out. She was also very accommodating to our changes schedules.”
“Heather is absolutely great with cats. She did a great job taking care of Boris. I left for 5 days, and he wasn't at all stressed out when I got home. Heather is great at communication. I would definitely book her again.”
About: 🥰 Now retired from Corporate America- I finally get to do what I love!! If you’re looking for Quality, Responsible and Experienced care for your pets- look no further! I have 45+ years experience with dogs, cats and horses. 🐴 🐈 🐶 Prior Volunteer @Agoura Animal Shelter I’ve been in love with pets since I was born. I’ve had many dogs over the years. I was raised with Dobermans, and had 2 of my own as an adult, in addition to a German Shepherd, Husky, Lab mix, 2 Min Pins and now, a Terrier/mix rescued from the meat trade in So. Korea. I’ve had one or more cats at a time since the day I was born (feral), and at one point, we rescued a pregnant kitty that had 4 kittens, which we kept and all lived long and cherished lives. My last kitty, “Little Girl”, was found by the grooms at the barn @ 3 weeks old. She was so wild, that she chewed the nipple off the bottle, and the Vet said it would never work! She recently passed at 19 years old, from CKD/Hyperthyroidism, which we both valiantly fought for 4 yrs. She was my soul cat- that I will miss for the rest of my life.💔 I’m an Equestrian- Horses are my passion! I’ve competed and owned horses for over 30 years, and have extensive knowledge of their care. I’m Insured and Pet 1st Aid/CPR Certified. I have experience medicating pets (ie:cats with Hyperthyroidism/CKD, etc dogs with pancreatitis, etc). Specialize in Senior pets. I know what it’s like to have to leave your beloved fur-babies home, especially if they aren’t feeling well! Whether they’re in tip top health, or in need of a little extra attention due to a medical condition, You can rest assured, that they will have the best care! I’m home full time now, and so available to meet the commitment and responsibilities of caring for your special fur-babies. Because feeding/walking and playing take time and attention- and every pet has its own unique and individual needs, sometimes they just need a little extra love and companionship❤️ Safety is my #1 priority! I will always ensure that your pets are safe, your home is secure and there is nothing within reach that could cause them harm. Additionally, walks are always done considering the environment, other pets and their proximity to your pet and the demeanor of both. No risks are ever taken.
“We love Carina! Our Spooky took to her so fast, on the first day. She really knows how to handle our scaredy cat. She gave cuddles, pets and affection. He even took the Squeeze Ups she offered him. We definitely will use her for our next trip.”
“Accepted my request for a last minute drop in visit. She was patient with my dog who is terrified of being around strangers when I’m not around. I just wish she didn’t let my dog pee on my couch 🙃”

“I was SO pleased with Thomas. My “dog” which was actually a 6 week old lamb, was well cared for. He was feed, and diaper was always dry when I picked him up. He sent me pictures of Winnie as well, and he was given lots of attention by Thomas and his adorable kids. I’d highly recommend to try him out. He was very accommodating, flexible, and such a pleasant person.”
“Very nice family, wolf spent the whole day there and played with the other animals they had. We got happy pup update pics. We know he had a great time, the minute he got home he took 2 sips of water and passed out for the rest of the night!”
“Rachel is amazing! I was nervous about how my new rescue would do away from me because he’s such a Velcro dog. I needn’t have worried! Rachel met us outside and after she took his leash he looked back at me twice and then walked away with her and began to sniff some bushes like he’d always been with her. I think she is made of Magic. He definitely picked up on her chill but confident vibe and had a good day with her doggos. She’s also very accommodating and sent me some pics to show me how he was doing. Loved her and will definitely leave him here again!”
“Brittany is great! We had never used a sitter or taken our dog to doggy daycare before so we were a little nervous, but Brittany responded quickly, sent multiple pictures throughout the day, and our dog loved her. Will definitely book with her again!”
“Ayni & Alfonsus are incredible! My little Ocean gets excited when I drop her off. Shes also older/tripled and they take excellent care of her with plenty of updates via text, photo, video. Glad I found them! Highly recommend.”
“Elaine and Marty have given me peace of mind while traveling for work or pleasure. I know Zoey is home away from home with her daily routine and the love she receives. I am guilt free leaving here there and words cannot express my gratitude to Elaine and Marty.”
About: Hi I’m Lizzy, new here as sitter but have been on Rover for 8+ years. I’ve cared for many dogs over the years myself, having fostered and rescued and it brings me joy every time helping these amazing souls find the loving homes and humans that my dogs have. I work from home so I am here to give the love, care, and attention that your pet will need. I have senior care experience as well as puppy care. My loves are Zoei (14yr old Dachshund mix) and TaMollie (4 month old Miniature Dachshund). I have a fenced back yard for plenty of play and exercise. I have cared for 3 litters consisting of 7 puppies each at a time even having to supplement bottle some at times. I know first hand how important it is to find a safe and caring sitter for you pet while you are away and if I can help to ease the anxiety that comes with that task by looking after them, that right there is what it’s all about! I work from home, so I’ll have plenty of time to play and exercise your pet. Also being available for bathroom breaks as needed. Minimal crate time is what I like to go for. I have fenced yard and two small breed dogs to keep your dog company. They love meeting new friends and playtime is a blast. Safe supervised freedom is how I am with my pets.

I also prefer to do a meet & greet before the first booking to make sure your dog feels comfortable and everything is a good fit for both of us 🐾✨
“Katie and her cute kids took great care of Buddy for a day. He played with them and their nice dog and had a great time in their big yard. They even took him for a walk and posted some sweet photos. I'm so glad and thankful to have had such great care for Buddy while we were busy all day!”
About: I worked for about a year and half at a dog day care in Santa Rosa. Lazy dog kennels where we had to do daily duties for the dogs and cats. Like take them out for potty breaks, grooming, playing with them, and cleaning their kennels. Pet care fits in to my life perfectly because I love going on walks, playing, and relaxing. Just having a partner next to play with. I’ve very attentive when it comes to dogs and cats. I know they can be very sensitive at times and/or just want to play with someone
“Maisie is a rescue and can be nervous in new situations and with new people. She seemed very comfortable with Dodi. She gives off a kind, loving vibe. We will definitely use her again.”
“Erica F. arrived on time both days to take care of our dog, who had never been separated from us before. She kept us updated with regular photos and texts of our pup. Our dog bonded with Erica F. right away, thanks to her sweet and friendly rapport. She walked him and played fetch with him - both things he loves to do! She was the perfect caregiver for our dog while we were away! Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve always had at least two dogs in the house, and have always loved caring for cats! I have plenty of experience taking care of horses and chickens, and I’m no stranger to taking care of many pets at one time, for example, 3 large dogs, 3 cats and 3 horses at the same time! I have a super open availability this summer, with more than enough time for late nights, early mornings, and overnight work! I have reliable transportation and a super free schedule to care for furry friends! I live in a condo with two elderly chihuahuas (almost 15 years old!) named Glory and Hero, as well as a super loving mutt rescue named Mysti! I love going for long walks with Mysti, and taking my chihuahuas for nice short walks as they get older. Making sure Mysti gets the proper exercise and attention is super important as she is a medium sized dog in a condo, as well as accommodating my older dogs as they age.

About: I have always had the responsibility of taking care of my pets growing up. Being dependable has led to family and friends relying on me to take care of their pets when needed. For the past 6 years I have been working as a veterinary technician. Because of my experience, I am well educated with medication administration and properly caring for animals that need special assistant. I currently work about 30 hours a week. I work later into the day so my mornings are free to care for animals. I am also free on the weekends. I am able to walk, feed, administer medicine, and give love to all animals of all sizes and ages. I understand that some pets just need company and love and I want to make sure they feel safe and cared for while their family is away.

“Michael works wonderfully with my 2 big Boys! He’s caring and gently handles both of them so well. A nice Guy and is able to be flexible with my schedule. My Boys love him and cry for him when he’s at the door. 😊🦴 Thanks”
“Jeff did an excellent job taking care of our dog Dexter. Followed every instruction left for him and was very caring with him. If I ever need his services again, I’d definitely reach back out!”
About: I’ve always loved dogs and have cared for dogs of all sizes. At 5 years old I got a puppy, who is now a medium sized pitbull-corgi-smorgasbord mix of breeds. While of course having help at a young age, I have cared for, fed, walked, and played with him for the majority of my life. Additionally my father had two small dogs and one larger that I partially cared for and walked. I’ve cared for multiple of my friends dogs, and over one summer went to Arizona to take care of my mothers friends two larger dogs for a couple weeks, and loved spending time with and caring for/playing with them! So I can say for certain between that fact and my very flexible schedule I would not mind longer term stays to take care of your pet/regular check ins! I also love going for walks, so I would love to walk any dog even energetic ones that want to go for long walks or run a little! I currently do not have a solid job, as I just graduated high school so my schedule is extremely flexible, and I am available to show up last minute in most cases! I can not have dogs nor cats in my own home to not risk the safety of my own pets, however I am ok with staying in/checking on your pets in your home! I’d love to send frequent photos of your pets, so definitely tell me if it’s not something you want! I want you to be assured your dogs/cats are being loved and cared for
“Sara is an incredibly kind and caring dog lover, taking the time to make sure our dog is happy and getting the exercise she needs. She is extremely personable and easy to work with. We couldn’t ask for a better person to take care of our dog.”
“Cayley is absolutely amazing. We had never tried Rover before and our family was nervous of the thought of hiring a petsitter that wasn’t family. However after getting to know Cayley, we quickly became so comfortable and trusting in her work! After coming back from vacation, we can tell how loved and well cared for our furry-loved one has experienced. She will take great pics and nice detailed descriptions of how your pet is doing which will give you peace of mind. Overall, (like previously said) Cayley is exactly who you need to take care of your pets! :)”
About: I don’t just stop by for 5 minutes and leave i genuinely want to get to know them and I will cuddle with them and hang out for a while. I can usually be with the dog as much as you need. I am on summer so I have lots of free time now . I usually will be with them inside the house and in the backyard which is usually fenced up and we play fetch and hang out wherever they want to be

About: Hi there! I moved to California exactly a year ago, and it’s been such a joy connecting with new paw-rents and their amazing animals. I bring over 8 years of hands-on experience in animal care—including kennel work, fostering, house sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits. I previously worked for a pet care agency in Florida similar to Rover, and I take this work very seriously—every pet in my care is treated like family. What sets me apart is that I’m a student groomer, a practical animal communicator, and a passionate animal advocate. I also have an upcoming grooming internship, and my long-term dream is to become a veterinarian to help stray animals and families who can’t afford care. I’ve worked in dog daycare and absolutely loved it. I currently live with three dogs (my babies!) and two beloved rats, my soul creatures. I have a soft spot for rescue animals and often foster until they find their forever homes. I'm also open to caring for other animals besides dogs—whether it’s cats, small animals, or even the unusual! (Just no T-Rexes, please 🦖😭) I’m honest about my availability, respectful of your home, and always focused on making sure both you and your pet feel safe and supported. Every animal deserves love, dignity, and a whole lot of belly rubs. I’m also trilingual! I speak English, Spanish, and ASL—so feel free to reach out in the language that works best for you. I believe care should be accessible, inclusive, and heart-centered 🐾💛 My dogs & rats eat breakfast every morning at 10am, enjoy small veggie snacks around noon, and have dinner at 4pm. Their health and routine matter to me, so I carry that same care and consistency over to the pets I care for. Pet care is not just part of my routine—it’s part of who I am. My furkids are my family—so if your dog is friendly and gets along with others, I’m happy to welcome them in. I’m easygoing, but I do ask for honesty about your dog’s behavior, health issues, and whether they’re potty trained. If your dog has an accident due to anxiety, illness, or youth, that’s absolutely okay—I understand and will help however I can. But if I’m not informed ahead of time and your dog isn’t potty trained, I do charge $100/night, as it affects my home and how my own dogs behave. I’ve fostered before, raised puppies and kittens, and even cared for momma animals—so I’m flexible. What matters most to me is clear, honest communication. If we work as a team, everyone (pets included!) will be happy.

“I can’t say enough about Chris. My frenchie came back happy and healthy after four days of staying overnight. I got updates every day and got the sweetest photos during my trip. Chris took my baby boy to see the Christmas lights, went on walks, runs, you name it. Now I’m worried Monkey is going to miss his new best friend lol. Thank you Chris for giving me peace of mind and taking such good care of my furry child.”

“My cat is always skittish at the beginning of boarding or any routine changes, but I could see how content and playful she looked in the photos and videos Cayley sent. I think she enjoyed the small family environment and was given everything she needed. Thank you for taking in Smoke when other plans didn't work out! We're glad to expand her circle of caregivers.”
“We would 100% recommend Chase for pet sitting. He was so kind and flexible when our plans changed last minute. He sent pictures each day, was able to give her daily medications and overall took very good care of our Millie. He provided a safe and calm home that is very much appreciated. Will use again!”
“We had a great experience leaving our dogs with Thomas. Communication was excellent, and drop-off and pick-up were very easy and smooth. We felt comfortable the entire time and will definitely book with him again next time. 🐾😊”
“We were so thrilled to fund a great match with Neda for our Flynn. We boarded with Neda for an extended weekend, and she kept us updated with messages and pics throughout his stay. Thank you for welcoming him in to your home!”
“Once again Ashley provided great care of our dog. She kept us updated throughout his visit, and it was apparent he had settled in comfortably. It’s so nice to have peace of mind when you’re away from your pet.”

“Erika watched my 2 dogs for 4 days and she was wonderful! My dogs had a fabulous time! She fed them all my special food and also sent pictures. They came home very happy! I highly recommend Erika and I will Definitely use her again!”
“Erin and Kennith were amazing. They sent multiple pictures throughout the day and provided updates on how my baby was doing. They were very responsive and stayed connected. Highly recommend if you are looking for a good house to keep your baby at. Thank you both!”
“Marcella is awesome she is a very caring and nurturing individual! She is really great with animals. I will definitely be using her in the future for all my animals! Thank you so much Marcella! 😊”
“Rajarshi is absolutely amazing! He watched our dog like as if he was his own child! He sent us regular updates with pictures and videos of what our dog was doing during the day! Gave him 3-4 walks during the day, played with him and took such great care of him! We will always leave our dog with Rajarshi! Rajarshi’s background and experience in fostering dogs makes him one of the most experienced & well rounded pet sitter who you can trust blindfoldedly! I would say that anyone and everyone can trust him with their pets! I wish I could give him 10 stars ⭐️ but 5 is the maximum we can give so giving him 5 stars!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“We have searched for a family like Nadia’s and are so grateful to have found them. Kona is a loving and energetic lab and loves to cuddle. Nadia is the first sitter to send pictures and updates without me asking. For the first time we can go away and know Kona is happy and loved. A Million Thank Yous to Nadia and her family. 🐾”
“Our pup always has such a great time with Silvana and I can tell how much she’s cherished there as well 💗 it’s been a relief knowing she’s in good hands while we’re away 💛”
“Harlan was great! His energy was perfect for my Ruby. Very calm, collected, kind personality. Ruby wasn't at all anxious when I dropped her off or picking her up. They had lots of 1 on 1 time during walks in his quiet, peaceful community and relaxing atspacious home. He followed all my feeding/walking requests, sent me pictures regularly, and responded to messages promptly. I wish he lived closer, but his services were worth the gas! I will be sure to ask if he can move closer for next time lol. Will 100% absolutely be booking him in the future! Thank you, Harlan!”
“Aria was awesome and we will definatly be bringing our pup back when we need a Rover. Communication was excellent, all requests were met, we got tons of pictures, and our pup came home happy and healthy. Thank you so much, Aria!”
“Maryam , was absolutely great. She did a great job caring for my dog Bentley. She was very friendly, great communication, very sweet girl. I trusted her with my pet, She was very detailed about asking questions and to make sure my dog was cared for good and got plenty and enough exercise and playtime I was very grateful. I recommend her and I would definitely book with her again.”
“My senior dog was really well taken care of by Alexis and Melisa. I loved that they sent me photos several times a day and kept us updated with meals and daily activities.”
“Tomoko and Kalani took such great care of my girl, Bella. I was anxious since it was my first time boarding her anywhere and she is a bit of an anxious dog. they sent me several videos showing Bella throughout the day and let me know how Bella was doing that day. I very much appreciated that and could tell from the videos that Bella felt comfortable in their home. They took her for walks, she laid next to them on their couch while hanging out which made me feel at ease that she was at ease. I felt that the communications were great and they are very friendly. We are so glad to have found them!”
