“It was my first time leaving Artie with someone new for an extended period, and Nadege and Camille were wonderful. I knew he was in good hands after meeting them, and I got pictures everyday showing how at-home he was with them. I’m thrilled to have found them and look forward to me next time ❤️.”
“They took such great care of my Daisy girl and sent lots of pictures every day! You can tell they truly love dogs. Can’t wait to book with them again!”
“Helped me out last minute when I was in a pinch and didn’t have anyone to watch my dog Smokey. He sent me photos and daily check ins, and updated me about some behavior smokey was doing while he watched him. He even hand fed Smokey when Smokey wasn’t eating (he gets anxiety and won’t eat when I’m away). I Will definitely be reaching out in the future as needs arise. Thank you!!”
“I’m very happy with Rockie’s stay with Renata. She was loving, responsible, and kept me updated with photos and messages. Rockie came home relaxed and happy. I will definitely book again and highly recommend her!”
“We’re very grateful to Chan Woo and his wife for taking such good care of Rufus over the weekend. Leaving your dog with someone new can feel a little stressful, but their regular updates and photos really helped us feel at ease. Everything went smoothly, and when we picked Rufus up, he was relaxed and content for the rest of the day. We’re very glad Rufus was in their care :)”

“Arizona had a wonderful stay with Kate and Aaron. She settled in quickly and felt comfortable from the very first day. They kept me updated with photos and messages, which made the whole experience easy and stress-free. Really liked those pictures from the back yard playtime. I would definitely book with them again. Arizona loved her time there, and I felt confident leaving her in their spacious home.”

Karen's dog Finny, was very sweet and shared everything with Sarah. My little girl was in total heaven! I returned to one "Happy" "Smiling" and "Wiggly Wagging" pup! The things that where very important for me were: Someone who could give an injection (shot), Doggie door, fenced front yard, a nice back yard with grass. Sarah my Lab felt totally at home. Thank you so much again Karen!!! We will be back... :-) Happy Doggie, Happy Mommy... XO, Licks and Wags, With Love, Suzanne & Sarah”
“I've previously written a review and just want to chime in that we have only had GREAT experiences working with Barbara. Our schedules tend to change with our constant attempt to bypass the volume of traffic in the Valley and LA. Barbara has consistently gone out of her way to accomodate us. She is always pleasant and our furbaby, Raffle, has a great time when staying with her. THANK YOU for all you do!!! XO”

“Rachel and Preston were amazing dog sitters! They texted me daily updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away.

I feel so lucky to have found the best care for my dog, and I will definitely use their services again!”

“Minerva was very kind from our first conversation. She was prompt in her communication, was always flexible when I needed to change some times around, and always responded to any of my concerns with understanding and solutions. My cats loved her. They both were relaxed and felt very comfortable with her. I felt so relieved seeing the pictures she provided everyday for me of my cats and of their food and water. Made being away from them on vacation stress free for me. I will definitely be booking Minerva again. She was so pleasant and helpful. Thank you so much Minerva!”

“Emma was great with my cat Acorn this past week. She sent picture/video updates and I could tell she made Acorn feel very comfortable. I would definitely recommend Emma to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
About: I enjoy being active and if I can be active with a pet then thats amazing. We both get in shape and your furrbabies will never be bored. I do make sure all animals are comfortable and if they don't want to go for a walk then I don't want to either. I work a 9-5:30 job. My weekends are mostly available. If needed in morning before 8am or anything after 6pm during the weekdays. I can do! Weekends I am mostly available. Depending on the area I can accommodate. I have a furrbaby of my own so I can tell when a dog is in the mood to play, has stomach aches, going through anxiety, or even just tired. I cope with pets depending on there mood and making sure they are okay. As well, being in someone elses home and the pet not knowing who I am, its good to have them evaluate me for at least 5 minutes to get my sent and feel comfortable with me.
“Katherine is such a kind soul and her service so very wonderful . Every day we looked forward to her updates and photos with our cat. You can really tell how much she loves animals and we really felt cared for. Not to mention, she was very helpful with other things like bringing a package in, litter box, and timing.”
“Jessica is an amazing pet sitter! She’s super responsive, is caring and affectionate towards pets, and will make sure to leave detailed information for each fur baby during every visit. Will definitely be using her again and I highly recommend her!”
About: Hello, I’m patient, dependable, and genuinely love animals. I treat every pet like my own—ensuring they feel safe, loved, and cared for every moment.thank you I’m a stay at home mom, I’ve recently become bored so I figured I would make a little extra money and get the gratification of loving your pet like I do my own. My dogs and cat are no different than my kids. I love them all the same, just don’t tell the kids, the human ones. .
“Long story short, Jaclyn is the best version of what I think Rover sitters should be. Assuming her availability matches up with my trips in the future, I will always book her again and again! Long story long: Everytime I move, I have to find a new sitter or sitting service for my two kitties. It is always an anxiety filled experience. This time, I turned to Rover. Rover wasn't offered where I used to live when I first looked (a couple years ago) but I'm so glad I now live in an area that offers it. Of course, I want to have the best sitter for a rate that won't make my kitties and I homeless in the long run. But I will always choose quality over budget. Luckily, Jaclyn fit into both categories. Before I went on vacation for a week, Jaclyn came over to meet my kitties and learn about their routine. During the meet and greet, she completely put my mind at ease. She was crawling around on the floor of my apartment trying to help me coax my nervous kitties out from under the bed. She took notes as I mentioned feeding, toys, etc. We talked for nearly an hour about my cats, her cats, our jobs, etc. I felt like she was a genuinely nice person who really, truly loves cats. Before she even left our meet and greet, I knew I was going to book her. Even though I knew Jaclyn was the best choice and that my kitties were going to be in good hands, I still get nervous before leaving for a trip. This was the first time in years that I was leaving my cats alone (no roommate now) with only a daily drop-in visit from a sitter. A new apartment, a new sitter, a new neighborhood... all while I was in a completely different country. My mama anxiety was on full blast. I left a lengthy, itemized letter detailing everything I could think of (some of it she already knew but some was new info) and setup everything Jaclyn could need for her visits. I filled their automatic wifi feeders full of dry food and made everything as simple as I could. Thankfully everything went smoothly. No emergencies and no incidents that Jaclyn couldn't handle easily on her own. She sent me two pictures every visit and notes about what she did or how the kitties were acting. I always waited anxiously for her text each night (different time zones make it harder) and as soon as she would text, I was able to relax for the evening. Once, when I noticed that the temperature was supposed to be getting high in the valley, I texted her to make sure my apartment wasn't getting too hot and she reassured me that it was still very cool inside and the kitties weren't reacting to the heat at all. She didn't seem annoyed when I messaged her out of the blue with each neurotic worry. When my flight home was canceled and I had to stay another night, she was kind enough to clean up everything one last time so I didn't have to worry about cleaning when I got home and could just hang out with my kitties. By the third visit, both kitties were really looking forward to her showing up for play time and their wet food meal. I'm pretty sure they like Jaclyn's visits so much that when I finally came home, they were confused why it wasn't her walking through the door and immediately tried to get me to play with them like she would. Haha.”
“Lauren was a great cat sitter! It is very apparent that she cares for animals and we are so happy with the service she provided! Lauren was readily available to meet beforehand to go over logistics and she made it really easy for us to trust her! Highly recommend her if you need care for your pets.”
About: I’m a natural dog/cat lover and I’m so excited to meet your fur baby🤗 I have a super sweet pit bull/boxer mix in need of a walking buddy and friends to play in the park! She’s great with all animals, large, small or different species, as long as they’re ready to play. Don’t hesitate to ask for pictures or videos! I do have a job with varying hours, so feel free to message me and ask if I’m available, I’m pretty flexible and accommodating! Thank you for trusting me ❤️🦮🐈 Regular Hours: MON-SUN 2PM-9PM I currently have a part-time job, so regularly I am able to take care of your pup from 2PM-10PM. Message me to ask about a certain date/time! I have my own puppy who loves to play with any and every dog. We have a dog park at my complex to run around and play in and a large neighborhood to walk around.
“Vanessa was great! She came over a few days before our trip to meet our two cats and see where everything is. She sent us photos and gave them some loving which was great to see. She did everything we asked and we came home to a clean kitty environment. Very professional and sweet. Would totally book again!”
“Liz was amazing! This was my first time using Rover and Liz was incredibly professional, timely, and communicative. She made sure my cat had everything she needed during my trip and kept in contact with every visit. Really recommend her to anyone with a pet in need. Thank you Liz and will definitely be a return customer.”
“Jamie did a great job checking in on our Moose while we were working. They played, went for walks and just had a fun time together. Jamie is trustworthy and easy to work with.”
“Mikayla is always such a gem, so blessed to have found her. She takes such wonderful care of our girls whenever we’re away and even makes sure their area in the home is tidy for our return. Thanks Mikayla!”

“Michelle has such a welcoming personality. Her family made me feel at ease with leaving YoYo. I didn’t have any concerns. She sent pictures & videos throughout the day. YoYo had a great time. Also, she was very accommodating with my late pick up time. I’ll definitely use her services again. Super thanks 😊”
“We are in the process of moving to the LA area and needed to find a new sitter. We decided to give Renata a try based on her reviews and pics. Frida seems to have had a great time. Renata is very friendly and caring, and sent lots of pics so we could see Frida interacting with her new doggie friends. Will definitely use again.”

About: Hi I’m a full time pet sitter. I have been petsitting for the past 8years. I have a lot of time to take the doggies out for walks multiple times a day. I also interact with them, by playing or doing basic commands with them. They are always allowed hop on the couch and join me to cuddle while watching a movie. It’s a cage free environment, unless you are training your baby or prefer for your pup to be in a cage certain times. They will feel right at home, in a comfort place where they are allowed to roam around freely and cuddle up on the couch or the human bed at night. We also reward them with extra belly rubs and delicious treats! I am a full time pet sitter. During the day I do have multiple walks I go out to. My partner Maggie is also home full time to care for the pups while I’m away. Dogs in my home have to be friendly with humans and other dogs. I am only taking small- medium size dogs. Unless I’ve cared for a more relax friendly bigger dog that I know won’t need much space.
About: Since I was a child, I cared for many animals and pets on my family's farm, and in the last 15 years in LA, I've had my own pets and all my neighbors and friends come to me for pet care while they are out of town! I work as a part-time plant science consultant, I am a mom of a 10-year old human and an 11-year old doggy, I have a flexible schedule and love to be active, so pet care fits in nicely! I have a secure and fenced in back yard and many comfortable spaces for dogs all around the house. Cats are not a good fit in our home, unfortunately.
About: My love of dogs began with the Doberman and Springer Spaniel’s, I grew up with. Eight years ago, I rescued and rehabilitated the best girl and terrier mix, Lottie. Since then, we have rescued and trained a mini poodle, fostered and rehabbed two adult pups, and regularly sit and walk a Lab, German Shepard, and Dachshund. I currently work from home and for myself so I have a very flexible schedule. I have a fenced in backyard and plenty of room for pups to run, relax, or play! I have a completely fenced in backyard and one very friendly female dog. I always error on the safe side when it comes to car. No dogs left unsupervised when needed nor put in harms way while walking, etc.

I am a stand up comedian and work a few hours at night. I am very flexible with a schedule during the day and week! If your dog doesn’t come home and personally tell you how good his day was, and what he learned in school, I’ll give a full refund. When I found out about this app I was truly amazed and excited at the opportunity to work with animals!!
“My dog can be very stubborn and is quick to decide whether or not he likes you, but surprisingly Mason was a very happy dog with Jamie, he was well behaved and it seems like they had a blast! I highly recommend if your dog has trust issues, or is a nervous one to book with Jamie. I would definitely book again!”

“Vanesa was wonderful—attentive, friendly, and clearly great with dogs. She even offered to apply sunscreen to Piper, which was incredibly thoughtful. Highly recommend!”
“Bryanna has been great with our dog Buster and takes lots of pictures and even videos during her visits. She is good at communicating and responds to messages quickly. She's dependable and shows up when she says she will and we are really happy to have found her. She brings her dog to play with Buster and it's been a great arrangement for Buster to have a friend and more socialization. She was willing to just come herself to take Buster on his walk if they didn't get along. We hope Bryanna continues to be available to visit Buster.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for family, and family friends since I can remember. I have the most experience with smaller dogs, but have walked many puppies as well! I have just graduated college and moved home, and would love to spend my free time assisting those who need help with their pets! My schedule is open! I have a large backyard and no other dogs. I have had dogs previously, and have also taken care of others dogs in my home!
About: Growing up in a house full of dogs, I guess I picked up a few tricks along the way. My friends joke that I’m the “dog whisperer,” but honestly, it’s more like I’m their unpaid therapist. Most dogs and I vibe right away, like we’ve got some unspoken connection. Even the cautious ones usually come around pretty quickly.. maybe it’s the good vibes..? Maybe it’s the good treats..? Either way, mi casa, their casa. 🏠🐶 Now that I’m pursuing music full time, my schedule is much more flexible! I work from home during the week and usually keep my weekends open, so I can be fully attentive and available for your pup whenever they need me. 🫡 I prioritize being present with your pets at all times to ensure their safety and provide them with a home-like sense of security, knowing they have a trusted friend by their side. 🐾 🤝
About: First time clients please enjoy $20 off your first booking! https://www.rover.com/sit/chanwl43421 As a full-time clinical psychologist working from home, I’m able to spend plenty of quality time with the dogs I care for. Your pup won’t be left alone or bored. I’m here throughout the day for companionship, playtime, and attentive supervision. What makes our home extra special is that my lovely and caring spouse also works from home. This means your dog will always have someone around, receiving attention, love, and care from both of us. There’s never a moment where they’ll be left out or overlooked. I have hands-on experience with rescue dogs, and I’ve personally adopted and trained one myself. This experience, combined with my professional background in behavioral psychology, allows me to understand dogs’ needs on a deeper level from anxiety and attachment to motivation and habit-building. We always welcome a meet & greet before booking. There’s a large, quiet park right by our home where we can meet in a neutral setting, talk through your dog’s needs and routine, and make sure everyone feels comfortable. Feel free to reach out and schedule one! Above all, your dog’s safety is my number one priority. Rover provides strong safety guidelines, and I’ve already had positive experiences using Rover’s tools to handle unexpected situations with calm and flexibility. You can trust that your pup will be in capable and loving hands. I work from home on weekdays, which gives me the flexibility to provide care throughout the day. I’m generally available at most times during the week, and with a little notice, I can usually accommodate weekend requests as well. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and personalized environment for every dog in my care whether it's for daycare or home boarding. I take time to understand each pup’s unique needs, follow their routines closely, and provide lots of love and attention to help them feel at home. Whether your dog stays at my home or I care for them in yours, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment. I follow your dog's routine closely and always keep safety top of mind whether it's leash rules on walks, feeding instructions, or respecting boundaries around other pets. In my home, pets have plenty of space to relax and play. I never leave dogs unattended, and I provide regular check-ins and updates so you can feel confident your pup is in good hands.

“Jaime was absolutely awesome with Boosh, our Pit/Lab baby girl. He was able to pick her up and down the stairs to our complex. We had dog family over for a week and Jamie was able to accommodate walking them on short notice. Boosh loved seeing him and would bring him her ball a few times; seriously jelly about that. ?”
“Jessica did an amazing job. It was a last minute effort to get someone to cover Mars, due to a funeral. Jessica made it so easy with all of our requests. We are so grateful!”
“Minerva is the most caring and loving dog walker! She takes her time walking Kobe and sends plenty of pictures and updates about his activities (pee, poo, etc.). She's very detailed, quick to respond, communicative, and incredibly friendly. You can tell she's an animal lover. Kobe has fallen in love with her in such a short time! Can't thank Minerva enough for everything she does for our Kobe!”

About: Hello, My name is Sandy. I've had pets all my life, from aquatic pets to fur babies. I love animals and have three dogs of my own. All with their own personalities and I take care of all their needs, from food, hygiene, and physical health to make sure they are happy. I'm positive I can cater to your baby's specific needs as well. I'm patient with my dogs, as I understand every dog has their own personality and different needs. I'm loving, caring, and observative of their behaviors. I love dogs of all breeds would love to help fellow dog owners by providing my services. I currently live in Van Nuys area but I can take clients that live in Palmdale as well as I visit very often. I am currently a student at CSUN & I have an open availability. I am available weekdays and weekends anytime with little to no notice in advance. I live in an apartment with my German Shepard. I know how important it is to exercise your dog especially in a smaller space so we go on walks 3x a day. He is my spoiled baby. I fall in love with all dogs I take care of as if they were my own & like to take extra steps (cuddles, treats, walking, playing.. etc) to ensure they are comfortable while their parents are away.
About: Ive always loved and gotten along with animals. My mom taught me at a young age to not just react to their actions but to listen to them on a deeper level while intuiting their emotions. I love and respect dogs and cats because of how emotive they are and how unique each one of their personalities is. No two are alike, which is why caring for one is always a unique experience. I am available for all times any day of the week! I am a solo game developer so since I work for myself, if I am not writing code, I'll be taking care of your pets! I have am completely open to being recorded on a ring/home camera for owners own sense of security and to ensure I am giving the absolute best care to their little ones.
About: I grew up in a home that truly loved animals and always dreamed of volunteering at shelters. I was raised with my childhood dog and now care for two adopted cats of my own. Since I can’t have dogs in my apartment, becoming a sitter lets me continue doing what I love! I’m available on weekends and spend most of my time at home, which allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, supervision, and plenty of attention. I make sure pets are not left alone for long periods and can adjust my schedule to meet their needs. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I carefully follow feeding instructions, medication schedules (if needed), and any specific routines your pet is used to. I pay close attention to body language and behavior to ensure pets feel comfortable and secure. I also provide updates and photos so you can feel confident while you’re away.

About: I have over 15 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages. I’m experienced with puppy training, including potty training, crate training, and basic routines. I also provide gentle and patient care for senior dogs, including medication support and extra attention when needed. I treat every pet like family and always create a safe, loving, and comfortable environment. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I live in a large, safe home with a spacious backyard where dogs can play and feel comfortable. I also have a dedicated indoor area for sleeping, feeding, and relaxing, so your dog will always feel safe, loved, and well cared for. My goal is to give every dog the best possible experience while they are with me. Safety and trust are very important to me. I live in a safe home with a fully fenced backyard where dogs can play comfortably and securely. I also have a friendly 5-year-old toy companion dog who is very gentle and gets along well with other dogs. I always make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, well cared for, and treated like family, whether in my home or a client’s home.
“Lizet was wonderful with bear. She gives you updates and photos/ videos on your pet which it really appreciative of. She treats your pets like they were her own. Bear felt comfortable with lizet and you can tell she enjoyed her stay with lizet. Bear found her forever sitter and new friends 😁💙”
“Sarah took great care of my anxious pup while I was away on a trip. She took her on play dates and sent me pictures and videos to show Chloe having fun and doing her normal stuff. It was a great relief to me to know that Chloe wasn't acting withdrawn, this helped me focus on my trip activities and know that Chloe happy and in good hands. Sarah clearly cares about the animals she watches, examining their individual behaviors and traits. I will be using Sarah to take care of Chloe again!”
“Our nonprofit, Military Animal Project, has used Armando twice now for Veterans. We are serving. Armando is easy to work with, very responsive, and when possible Armando can even accommodate some personal requests for the Veterans. Working with Armando through rover.com has made it possible for us to respond immediately to a veteran in crisis and immediately assist their pets in need.. We will continue to reach out to Armando and we appreciate his efforts to assist us with our veterans.”
“Stephen did such a good job taking care of our dog. She had a blast hanging out with him and the other dogs at their place. We got very regular updates while we were away helping us know she was safe and happy throughout. Thank you!”
“Candy is an excellent dog sitter. She's patient, kind, and loving with what she does. We are her return clients. Even though her Cleo is not feeling well, she didn't cancel our booking and was able to take good care of our Cookie. Thank you, Candy! Hope Cleo recovers soon.”
“She was very responsive and flexible around my pick up and drop off times. Provided photos and videos of their walks every day and Chase looked happy in each one! Chase is a 100 pound German Shepherd and she handled him very well. Very thankful I was able to find her relatively last minute for my stay and have everything work out!”
“Emma took great care of Gizmo. At first we were concerned leaving him since he has separation anxiety, however, Emma was great with him and he enjoyed the stay. I highly recommend Emma!!!”
“Nayira was super kind and accommodating. Great communication and the boys seemed really comfortable during their stay. They got along well with Nayiras friendly Malinois, Karma.”
“An absolute 5-star experience! I left my dog with Shahrzad for a week while I was away on vacation, and I couldn't be happier. Her home is beautiful and the facilities are fantastic-she even has her backyard sectioned off safely for small and big dogs. I received photos and videos every single day, which gave me total peace of mind. Shahrzad didn't just watch my dog; she kept them active with morning walks, playtime, and even a little bit of training. My dog came back home happy, healthy, and well-cared for. I highly recommend Shahrzad's boarding services and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Alina was so wonderful. Our regular dogsitter had to cancel on us last minute. Alina came to the rescue and watched our dog for a 4 night stay. We were nervous to leave our senior dog (who has some special needs) with a brand new person. Usually we book an initial one-night stay with a sitter before doing anything more than 24 hours. It turns out we had nothing to be worried about. Alina checked in with us regularly and had very accurate descriptions of how our dog Bedu was settling in. By the end of her stay Bedu was in love. We brought home a very happy pup who was so well looked after, I can happily say she also had a little vacation herself. Alina’s residence is right next door to Petco, which was very convenient for us as we had forgotten to pack some supplies and stopped there on the way.”
