About: Animals have always been a huge passion of mine, and I have 5 years of professional experience working in two dog kennels. Through my work, I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, personalities, and energy levels while handling feeding, medications, potty breaks, cleaning, walks, and daily care routines. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I always focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping owners updated along the way. I treat every pet like they’re my own! I currently have open availability, which allows me to fully focus on your pet’s care and routine while you’re away. Because I do not have another job at the moment, I’m able to provide plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, and consistency throughout the day. I’m flexible with scheduling and committed to making sure your pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for at all times. I currently offer care in clients’ homes so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I understand how important trust is when inviting someone into your home, and I always strive to provide respectful, dependable, and attentive care. I do have pets at home, but they are well cared for by my parents while I’m away caring for clients’ pets, allowing me to fully focus on the animals in my care. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, communication, and making sure every pet feels loved and comfortable while their owners are away.
“Elba is the absolute best pet sitter!!!! We went away for vacation and needed around the clock care. Elba was very thorough with the instructions and information we gave her. She took care of our animals as if they were her own. She gave updates every single day and sent the best pictures. Our animals were so happy and loved while we were away. And Elba even went above and beyond when we had a tree branch from a neighboring yard fall during a storm and damage our fence. She kept me notified and sent pictures. I would absolutely recommend Elba for anyone who is looking for a trustworthy person to care for your pets! We will most definitely be using Elba in the future to take care of our fur babies!!!!!!!”

“Throughout my time away, Mya maintained excellent communication, providing regular updates and even sending adorable pictures and videos of my pup. It was incredibly reassuring to know that my pups were still not only well-cared for but also enjoying their time under the watchful eye of such a dedicated and responsible pet sitter.”


About: Hi! My name is Jack :) I have spent the past several years working as a veterinary technician, caring for animals in a professional medical setting. I have experience with puppies, kittens, senior pets, and pets with medical needs. I love building trust with animals and helping them feel comfortable and secure. My goal is to provide the same level of care and attention that I would want for my own pets, so you can travel with confidence knowing they’re in good hands. 🐾 I strive to be flexible and accommodate your pet’s routine as closely as possible. Whether your pet needs morning, afternoon, evening, or overnight care, I will work with you to ensure their feeding, exercise, medication, and enrichment schedules are maintained. Consistency is important for both cats and dogs, and my goal is to keep their day-to-day routine familiar and stress-free while you’re away. I am happy to discuss your pet’s specific needs and create a care plan that works best for them. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. As a veterinary technician with several years of experience, I am trained to recognize signs of illness, injury, or distress and respond appropriately. I provide a calm, patient, and low-stress environment tailored to each pet’s individual needs. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or requires medication, I will treat them with the same care and attention I give my own pets. You can expect reliable communication, regular updates, and peace of mind knowing your pet is being cared for by an experienced animal care professional.
“My husband and I are so grateful to have found Makenzy! She did an amazing job watching our 2 dogs while we were away. Even our one dog Koda who is a bit more skittish around new people warmed up to Makenzy rather quickly. 12/10 would recommend and hire Makenzy again and again. :)”

“1st time using a pet sitter. It was very last minute and my kitten ended up getting sick while I was away for 8 days. But Jennifer handled it all like a pro!! She consistently kept me updated with the status of my kittens, what she did for the day, and always made sure to send me pictures of my cuties. By the end of the trip she felt like a close friend that loved my kittens just as much as I do. BEST PET SITTER I can ask for. I will for sure be coming back to book her for my babies.”

“Colleen is amazing! Not only did she take care of our dogs for two weeks while we were out of the country, she kept our house plants watered, and the house was nice and clean when we got back! We would love to have her take care of our two pups when we travel again! Thank you so much Colleen!”

“Alyssa did an absolutely wonderful job taking care of my three dogs while I was away. Each of them has their own unique needs — different medications, diets, and routines — and she managed everything perfectly without any issues. It was clear from the moment I returned that they were happy, healthy, and well cared for. My house was just as clean and tidy as when I left, which really shows how responsible and respectful she is. Most importantly, my dogs absolutely loved her — they were calm, content, and clearly bonded with her. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. I would definitely hire Alyssa again the next time I travel and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”

“Marina did a terrific job taking care of my cat Goldie and housesitting while we were away. She patiently listened to all of my instructions and carried them out; She was gentle and made Goldie feel safe; She sent photos and texts every day; and the house was in the same condition as we left it. I trust Marina and will ask her to pet sit again.”

“Cherie is amazing! We're truly fortunate to have found such a good person to watch our home and our dogs when we have to go away. She always sends the best pictures and updates, and takes our dogs out for walks and pup cups. She's a true 10!”

“So glad we found Alison to sit for our dog while we were out of town! Our dog, Kona, can be shy with new people but she instantly adored Alison. At our meet and greet, Alison asked good questions and we felt we got to know her quickly. I knew Kona be in good hands while we were gone. During the trip, Alison provided daily updates with adorable pictures and was a great communicator. She was so thoughtful and sweet. We came back from vacation to a happy, healthy dog and a spotless home. Highly recommend! 💕”

“Dalia was so kind with my nervous boys and sent me a lot of photos and updates! I will definitely be reaching back out to her the next time I need someone to watch Winston and Wallace.”

“Gabrielle was wonderful! Our Dog Liberty had so much fun with her, she even got her to walk on her leash and walks without pulling, which we can never do, so not only did she do a great job walking and taking care of her, she was teaching/training her as well! We got tons of pics and videos and updates and she left our house nice and clean when she was done! We will definitely be using her again and trust her anytime with our pup!”


“Juli absolutely set the bar on pet sitting for our two cats and we're forever spoiled. She communicated clearly and thoroughly, and she took such great care of our two high-maintenance kitties that they didn't have an opportunity to be sad while we were gone for 9 days, which was exactly our goal. She very quickly achieved "Favorite Aunt," status with a very tough group of kitties to please. We can't wait to book her again!”

“Danny has been such a valuable help! We travel a lot and have relied on family/friends for so long and have been hesitant to find a sitter because our dogs are difficult. As rescue dogs, they are afraid to go outside, have special dietary preferences, and are very hesitant to meet new people. Danny somehow makes them feel comfortable and takes the best pictures of them, which means they are comfortable interacting with him! We are so thankful for his help and will definitely be using his sitting services again!”

“Kiri is the absolute best dog/house sitter we have ever had! I loved her, my pups loved her, and she was in constant communication with me the entire time we were gone. The absolute best!!!”

“Makenna is the bomb! She not only made our two k-9 girls fall in love with her, she also changed the bed, cleaned the house and left us a wonderful unexpected surprise!!! She is also a classy dresser and a delightful person! Thank you Makenna, we will definitely ask you to stay again. Kathy and Michael”

“Kaia was absolutely fabulous. She treated our fur baby as if he was hers. She sent us tons of videos and pictures. Communication was wonderful and we felt very comfortable with her staying in our home. We will certainly be using Kaia in the future and would recommend her to others as well. ☺️”
“Susan was awesome! Leaving your pets with someone that you don’t really know is not an easy thing, but Susan was great from end to end. Booking was smooth, she prompted answer all our questions (including meeting us before booking). While she stayed with our 2 dogs and 1 bird, she kept us on the loop by sending daily pictures. Overall it was an wonderful experience and we are not going to hesitate before booking her again. Highly recommended!”

“It was a smooth process and an awesome experience for my peanut. It was a last minute one too and she was able to accommodate it and make it work. 100% satisfied and highly recommended!”

Ventura pet parents share their Rover experiences
Elba is a fantastic pet sitter!!!!! She definitely treats your fur babies as her own and takes the best care of them! She has great communication and keeps you informed the whole time you are away. And she sends picture updates every day!!!! We look forward to continuing booking her to look after our fur babies!

Chloe was so sweet and great with the dogs! Lola is intense and crazy, Mia is skittish and flighty, but they warmed up to her quickly. I wasn't nervous leaving them, especially with all of the updates and pictures Chloe sent. I would absolutely have her watch them, again.
This was the longest I have been away from my pets and Isabella made it so easy with updates and pictures. When I got home they were relaxed and I could tell they were well cared for. She's anazing at communucating and following instructions and goes above and beyond doing things I didn't even think about. Isabella is a gem and I would recommend her without hesitation!

Dalia is great! She watched my house and my cat, Lana, overnight for a few days while I was on vacation. Dalia sent lots of updates and cute pictures, even a little action shot of Lana jumping off her tree! Lana is the only pet in the house but she’s a cuddler and very social cat and it was so comforting knowing Dalia was there to play with her and keep her company. It really helped me enjoy my time away. When I returned Lana was her usual self which tells me she was cared for like I’d never left. I will absolutely be asking Dalia again, and you should too if you’re looking for a reliable and communicative animal lover to take care of your best bud!

Cohen was great! He took care of Dennis for 2.5 days. He was very response with messages and updates throughout the entire time. He sent photos of the visits for me to see Dennis having such a great time. I definitely recommend him and hope to use his services again in the future.

Where do I even begin. Courtney not only has a heart of GOLD but our dogs and cat LOVED her! She is so communicative and so sweet! We can’t wait to book her again! We entrusted her with our whole home and pets and she was so extremely respectful and honestly incredible we cannot sing enough praises about her! Keeping in mind we have a 8 month old puppy golden retriever and he’s crazy yet she handled him so perfectly! We loveeeeeeeeee you Courtney and cannot be more thankful to have had you take such extreme good care of our babies! Thank you thank you thank you 10000000x more! Can’t wait to book you again and honestly host you!!! Our babies are going to miss you extremely so we’ll need you back real soon! You can trust Courtney with anything she will take care of it ❤️

Soraine was amazing not only to my cat babies but was an amazing human being! Loving, caring, fun and full of life. She has a passion for animals and it shows with how she interacts and cares for my kitties. On time and kept me very informed on how they were doing everyday. Would definitely recommend her and I will be using her in the future. Thank you so much! 🐾🐾

Lya is so sweet and kind. First time I’ve been away for significant time from Miyah since we lost our other pup, her best friend and companion since 8wks old. Miyah is highly attached to me, I was needing to find someone who would spend time with her and keep her on her routines. Lya filled in the gap for me, took great care of Miyah, and gave her the attention and companionship she needed. We appreciate you so much Lya! Thank you!
