“Ru was so amazing! When our previous sitter unfortunately fell through, we requested Ru last minute and she responded right away and was able to help us out! She was so attentive with our little ones and really did a fantastic job with their more complex care. Wish I could give more than five stars we’re truly so grateful Ru was able to help us! We’ll definitely be booking again in the future!”

About: I’ve had a love for animals for as long as I can remember. As a little kid, I would spend hours at my aunt’s house playing with her dogs — my mom would even have to come call me so I’d finally go home! Growing up, I had many different types of pets, but the one thing I always dreamed of having was a dog of my own. I begged my parents for years, and when I finally got my first dog at 13 years old, he instantly became my whole world. From a very young age, I was always the person friends and family trusted with their pets. I watched a friend’s cat while they were away and even cared for my school’s bunny for an entire day! Later on, when I moved to Sydney, Australia, I volunteered at an animal rescue center and spent the next 10 years pet sitting for both dogs and cats — something I truly loved and felt very passionate about. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens to sweet senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I recently lost my own beloved senior dog, so I deeply understand the gentle, specialized care, and massive amount of love older pets need in their golden years. Because of this, I’m incredibly comfortable monitoring their comfort, administering medication, and making sure they feel entirely safe and relaxed while you are away. Caring for animals has always come naturally to me, and I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. <3 Since I’m currently home full-time, I have a super flexible schedule with plenty of open availability Monday through Sunday, so I can easily fit into your pet's regular daily routine without a problem. Whether you need a consistent daily walker while you're at work, or last-minute drop-in visits because something popped up, I’m around and ready to step in whenever you need an extra hand." In Your Home: When I come by for drop-ins or to pick up your dog, I treat your home with total respect. I always make sure doors are securely locked, keys are safely stored, and your home is exactly how you left it. Plus, I love giving cats and dogs lots of love, refreshing their water, and making sure they are comfy before I leave. Out on Walks: Safety is everything when we are out on an adventure. I always keep dogs securely on-leash, stay highly aware of our surroundings, and steer clear of any unpredictable situations or unfamiliar dogs. Keeping You Posted: I know how hard it is to be away, so I always send a quick update and some cute photos during or right after my visit. You'll never have to wonder how they are doing!

About: I grew up with two dogs and currently have a cat, so I have years of hands on experience caring for both dogs and cats. My dogs are still an important part of my life, and caring for them has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding each pet's unique personality and needs. I am comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will provide plenty of attention, care, and companionship while you're away. 🐾 I'm a college student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care throughout the week. I can accommodate feeding schedules, playtime, litter box cleaning, walks, and check ins while making sure pets receive the care and companionship they need. Since I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine and I make it a priority to provide reliable, attentive care for every pet. 🐾 For drop in visits, I care for pets in the comfort of their own home where they feel safest and most relaxed. I follow each pet's routine by providing fresh food and water, cleaning litter boxes or taking dogs out for potty breaks, playtime, exercise, and plenty of attention. I always respect your home's rules and make sure doors, gates, and windows are secure before leaving. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calmer approach, I adapt to their needs to ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you're away. 🐾🐶🐱
“Jacquie was wonderful!! Very communicative, and such a big help. My cat immediately was comfortable with her and it seemed like they had a good time together! Will be rebooking and highly recommend her with any furry friend.”
About: All dogs have different personalities and I enjoy getting to know each one. I’ve been trusted to dogsit for friends and family over the years and for our time together I definitely treat them as if they’re my own. My time is flexible and I’m available most days of the week if not entirely. Mornings and early evenings would be best but I can definitely work throughout mid day. I do my best to keep a keen on the whereabouts and curiosities the pet may get into. I make sure that I stay on track for any dietary conditions that are provided and if approved, give treats when necessary.
“Victoria is fantastic! Quick to respond to messages, flexible and she jumped right in with zero hesitation when it came to my goofy, hyper and “special” dog. She even gave my cat love when she stopped by! I felt safe each time Victoria came to my house and grateful every time I got a Rover report that all went well and my pets looked happy. Cannot recommend her enough and will definitely use her again for future pet sitting needs.”

“Barbara went out of her way to meet my dogs and took great care of them. I felt so comfortable having her drop in to feed my two big dogs while I was away. They loved her.”

About: I’ve been around animals since I was 5, so I’m comfortable with animals of almost every shape and size. I’ve done volunteer work helping stray dogs find safety, and currently volunteer at a local animal shelter where I clean up after and interact with animals of almost variety of temperaments. Whatever your pet’s needs, I’ll give them the care and safety they deserve! I currently work under a flexible schedule so I am available both weekends and weekdays for dog walking, check-ins, and pet sitting. I only need one day’s notice for low-intensity interactions, and a week’s notice for overnight sitting. I am attentive to your pet’s body language and any of their other needs. I can handle smaller animals safely when needed, and will keep your dogs on safe paths when walking.
About: I have a few clients I dog sit and dog walk for, in addition to having cat sitting experience. I grew up having pet cats for decades. I love animals! Interacting with them feeds my soul. I think cats and dogs can sense how happy I am to be around them plus how much I love them, making it easy and fulfilling to form bonds. I’ve worked with shy cats and dogs too, and enjoy patiently and gently winning them over. My clients have been a German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, Husky, senior Beagle, Australian Cattle Dog, small to medium dogs and I am a lover of all breeds. I also have experience with kittens to senior cats. Volunteering at Kitten Rescue LA, I socialize with various breeds, ages and personalities. It’s also fun to meet pet parents and connect with the community. Currently, I’m going to school part-time. I love the opportunity to take care of and spend time with your furry family members when my schedule allows. I love giving attention to and caring for dogs and cats. Will accommodate routines you have in place and give you updates with photos via text or the Rover app.

About: Growing up in the farmlands of Sweden, I took care of all kinds of animals from a young age. My mother was a dog agility trainer and I learned a lot from her over the years! I have a husky greyhound rescue of my own that also taught me a lot about training pups (leash aggression, commands, etc.). I also have a cat so I am well versed in how to handle a multiple pet household! My schedule is open so I have availability to work around your schedule and happy to accommodate to be able to spend time and care for your pets! Routine is crucial so assessing the needs with the owner is the best place to start! Happy to give recommendations as well. I want both you and your pet to feel comfortable and happy! I will treat your pets as if they were my own - assisting with walking, training, resting, eating, etc.
About: We are not ready to own a pet full time just yet but I would love to help other owners with their pets. I do have children my youngest being 6 so they do have to be children friendly but I also have a safe space your pet can be separate from them when they want or need to be. I grew up with all different types of animals my whole life as well as worked taking care of, full time, a rescue that consisted of 16 cats, 5 dogs and 5 horses. So I am very familiar with animals and their needs. This is the first time I have not had a pet in my life which is why I decided to join this app. Hope to see you and your pets soon!! I am a licensed real estate agent and mother to three beautiful children. I am available at various times to watch and care for your pets. I love to be outdoors and going for walks. I live in an apartment complex, in the building that sits in the back. I have open space and an outdoors community area where your pet can go for a walk or use the bathroom. I also am comfortable working in others homes with respect to their belongings and personal preferences.
About: I have pets of my own. I see pets as part of family so the care I provide is same as for my fuzzy love bugs, lots of luv and snuggles and maybe some extra treats if permitted ;) I know what’s it like to be away from your fuzzy friends so I will provide regular updates if you wish so. Available on weekdays/ weekends- mostly flexible schedule. Can stay overnight if needed, available on holidays. Can stop by for short time to check on your pets, play with them and feed them.

About: Over the years I have taken care of my family, friends and of course my own animals. I have had experience with a majority of dog breeds. I have taken care & bottle fed puppies and kittens and given medication to dogs. When I am caring for your fur family, I will follow your schedule and any commands you may be trying to teach. I am kind, patient, caring and will keep your pup safe and happy. I love walking, playing, and will show your pup lots of love. My senior dog can’t play much any more so I would love to have some awesome dogs I can walk, play with, and keep company awhile you are away. I work two jobs, so your pup may be alone between four to six hours but I ALWAYS keep families updated with my schedule and of course lots of pictures. I currently do not provide care in my home. So I always follow your house rules. I make sure not only is your animals safe and cared for but also your home.
“Brittany was so amazing! She took care of our two cats for 10 days while my roommate and I were out of town. We got daily updates and lots of photos that made us feel so much better leaving the kitties alone.”

Verdugo Mountains pet parents share their Rover experiences
All I can say is that it’s really hard to find somebody that will walk your dog exactly around the time when you want or approximately around the time that you want and Madeline did just that and I have not been able to find someone that was as consistent and reliable as her so please know I did daily dog walks with her and she was the best as I work super long hours

Kaylah was so gentle and great towards moomoo! She was cautious not to get too close as he gets anxious and took her time getting go know him. We had a non stressful vacation knowing we were in such great hands. Every report was detailed loaded with a bunch of photos. I would highly recommend booking Kaylah to take care of your precious fur babies!

Wow. I cannot say enough about how wonderful the experience was having Alex look after my 2 kittens. It’s always stressful to be away from pets, but all of the positive reviews I read about Alex turned out to be true. He gave detailed reports of his interactions with my little guys and sent lots of photos. This gave me so much reassurance that all was well. I recommend Alex 100% if you want the very best care for your fur babies.

Alexis was the perfect choice to care for my senior citizen cat! He's a little grumpy and takes two medications twice a day. Alexis had no problem keeping him happy, healthy, and well-loved. Knowing my cat was in good hands let me relax while I was away, which was priceless.

Barbara is the best sitter! She takes care of my cat Lancelot every time we travel. She gives him a lot of love and affection, and will go far and beyond to take care of unexpected things that happen when you travel (like plumbing issues). Thank you, Barbara!

Ashley is amazing. She cared for our cats, Siggy and Martha, like they were her own. Siggy has medication needs, and she handled that with no issues at all. We could relax completely knowing they were in such good hands. We came home to happy cats and a well cared for home. We would absolutely recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter, we are return bookers with Ashley and will continue to be!

Tomoko was a great pet sitter for my senior cat. She is very kind, generous, and accommodating, and my cat was genuinely cared for while i was away. She sent very detailed updates and took great pictures. I felt so safe that my cat was in her capable hands and I will gladly book her services again next time.
