“Lauren was amazing! We had just got a new kitten and a work trip came up so we had to be out of town for a couple of days. Lauren make us feel comfortable and welcomed our kitties with open arms. She was great with communication and our house was even happier when we returned.”
“Amazing Sitter, Kat took incredible care of our two dogs. She gave them both lots of love, long walks, and super fun playtime. I received regular updates and photos, which showed how happy Max and Hiro were while we were on vacation. Kat truly went above and beyond, attending to Max's special needs and preferences. He is a rescue and she took the time to get to know him and he even trusted her so much, he laid on her chest. I am super grateful and glad I found Kat!!!”
“Kim was an amazing house sitter. She was very communicative, took great care of the pets, and left my house squeaky clean. I could tell from the photos she sent that my pups were very comfortable and relaxed with her. 12/10!”
“Aubrey and Prarana are fantastic! Very responsive, they communicate regularly while sitting with pictures and detailed reports. We have a puppy who needs a lot of play and attention - Aubrey seems to really enjoy working with him! We’ve used them twice for overnights and I’m so relieved to have found reliable people who truly love animals to stay in my home. 10/10 recommend!”
“We had Cassie stay at our home to watch our two dogs for nearly two weeks while we were away on our honeymoon, and we couldn’t be more grateful for her. I was anxious about leaving our dogs for that long, especially since I’d never been away from them for so many days, but having Cassie there gave me so much peace of mind. Our dogs absolutely love her, and just knowing they were happy and well cared for made it so much easier to relax and enjoy our trip. Cassie walked them every day, took amazing care of our home, and even surprised us with fresh baked cookies when we returned! She’s responsible, thoughtful, and clearly loves animals. We feel truly so lucky to have found her!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I was a little nervous because I didn’t know what to expect, and Madeline was phenomenal. My dog, Swiffy, loved her immediately and she sent me thorough updates of their time together which really helped put me at ease and I was able to enjoy my event knowing my dog was being well taken care of. I would highly recommend her.”
“Yoo Jee is the best! She took excellent care of our pets and home! One of our bathrooms flooded unfortunately while we were gone and she took care of everything. We will definitely hire her again.”
“Once again, Tanya delivered. She worked with me to coordinate her travel and holiday plans with ours so that we could enjoy a getaway after Christmas after I botched our departure date. Thank you Tanya for all you do for Boomer and for us. Looking forward to the next time you’ll be dog sitting for us. Boomer sends his love!”
“Sara was fantastic! Her communication was spot-on and kept us perfectly updated on Frisbee. We’re at the tail end of a kitchen remodel, and she was incredibly accommodating despite the less-than-ideal circumstances. We’ll absolutely be using her again.”
“Bianca was awesome and a great pup sitter while we were gone. She gave us regular updates and photos. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog with her. Will book again with her.”
“Emily was great with our two pups. They’re usually uneasy around new people, but she took the time to earn their trust and made them feel comfortable. She arrived on time for every visit, communicated clearly, and sent thoughtful updates with photos that really put us at ease. As first-time Rover users, we were a little nervous, but Emily made the whole experience feel easy and reassuring. We came home to two happy, relaxed dogs — we look forward to booking with her again!”
About: I foster animals for rescues, I also own 4 dogs myself, from puppies to seniors. I can also take care of medically fragile animals. I am open to anything. I’m currently working part time so I will be pretty wide open to care for you furry friend. When I’m not working I’m taking care of my step son and my 5 dogs rather it be hiking, long sniff walks or fun games with the dogs. I also work on basic obedience every day. If you need I can work on sit, stay, wait, loose Leash walking. I will follow all your rules to keep your pets safe. I’m really knowledgeable about keeping animals safe. You won’t have to worry when in my care.
About: I've had cats my entire life growing up and now have one of my own in addition to a loving, fluffy, goofy, 100 pound dog that I raised and trained from a 9 weeks. I am kind, trustworthy, responsible, and truly love all animals (so much so, I have been vegetarian since 3 y.o.). I love to spend time with animals! Pet care taking is supplementing my career as a teacher. I love animals and my time with them brings me peace and joy. I have a very flexible schedule and enjoy this in my time outside of teaching. Having grown up around animals my entire life, I am very responsible and caring of them. I ensure windows and doors are secure for them and there are no potential hazards in their home. I approach pets knowing I am entering their home and want them to feel safe around me.
“Hugo was amazing! We were able to book him super last minute and he was so great with Topsy - who seemed to absolutely love him. Hugo has really nice and calm energy that I think our fur child really loved. 10/10 would book again!!”
“Jason is caring, diligent, reliable dog and house sitter. His manner with our dogs is gentle but Jason is able to walk both our pully nutty dogs at the same time. The house is in great shape when we get home and he even offers to pull the sheets off our bed and other small tiding tasks. I really, really and highly recommend Jason. I also book him early!!!”
“Dylan was amazing - I don't want to leave to good a review because I want him available in the future :-). Great with our dog and did extra training House was left in perfect condition Super communicator and provided lots of videos etc for the kids My favorite quality might be his super positive disposition.”
About: I grew up in a small dog family and, as I got older, learned to take care of chickens, sheep, and sheepdogs on my dad’s farm in England! My mother now has 3 cats & 2 dogs in Mississippi while I have 2 cats of my own in LA. I am good at understanding pets’ personalities, tailoring play and affection to an animal’s distinct needs. I absolutely love animals and miss my own dogs while I am in LA, and I can’t wait to meet new animals here. I work in an office with availability to visit from 8:00 am-10:00 am and after 5:00 pm on weekdays. My weekend schedule is totally open and flexible for walking and drop-in care visits! From picking up after puppies to cleaning chicken coops, nothing grosses me out. I am used to scooping litter boxes, bathing, sweeping after, brushing, feeding, tooth brushing, and walking pets of all kinds :)

He takes them on adventures and stays at my place to watch them when I need to go somewhere I can’t take them. He’s availability is awesome. He shows up on time, respects my home and rules. Always text if he has any concerns and never goes away from the list I leave him when I’m away.”
