“Josette is a dog whisperer! We have two very active young cocker spaniels. If you know the breed you know how excitable they are. These two are particularly so, as they are also rescues from Mongolia via the wonderful LA-based Camp Cocker Rescue. They are always so happy to see Josette, which includes lots of jumping, and Josette calms them right down. We feel so comfortable leaving our pups with Josette. She is so on top of the all the details of the dogs. We know they are so well taken care of, very safe and very loved. When we return from out of town the dogs are always happy, and the house is immaculate. Couldn’t be happier with her caregiving! Also love her responsiveness when we reach out to her! XOXO”


“Shelby is always responsive, caring, and just easy to work with. She takes care of our dog so well and he loves her! Cannot recommend her enough.”


“Hands down the BEST! He was so kind and loving to my fur-babies, was down to the point on taking care of them and making sure that he cared for them the same way we do. The communication was great and received multiple pictures throughout our trip. We were very nervous to leave our babies with someone new, and this was our first trip ever BUT we definitely will be using him again. He made this trip a breeze for us and we do not regret at all picking Jacob! He is a dime in a dozen.”


“Gabi was an amazing pet sitter! My boyfriend and I were away for a week, and she took such great care of our cat and dog. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. One of the things I appreciated most was how many pictures she sent—it was so nice to see our pets happy and well cared for while we were gone. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. We came home to two very happy pets, and we would absolutely book her again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!”


“Beth lived in and watched our Irish wolfhounds and cats. First I am the most anal compulsive person when it comes to my hounds. I have great anxiety leaving my heard of animals but anxiety was out the window with Beth taking excellent care and attention to them. My hounds were relaxed when I came home. She sent photos of the hounds loving her. I highly recommend Beth. She knows dogs and has fantastic intuition to their needs. My hounds love love Beth!!!”


“Amazing sitter!! We have a bit of a challenging dog, but Yajahyra was incredibly understanding. We were given lots of great updates and are so thankful!! ♥️”



“Meg was extremely reliable and communicated regularly in advance of our trip and while we were away. I’d readily recommend her to anyone as a high quality dog and home sitter.”


“Rylee is a caring and reliable sitter - it made being away from my dogs bearable to know that they had such a great person taking care of them.”


“Alex was great! She saved my life and came super last minute to watch my doggy. She kept me updated frequently, sent me multiple pictures and did great with my doggy’s medication management. She was happy to help and be there, my doggy was sad seeing her leave! Would definitely 10/10 recommend Alex and will be asking her for help if needed in the future!”


“Mikaela did an amazing job taking care of Lexi, Layla, and Kuma. She gave us updates often during the day and I felt at ease knowing the pups are taken care of. I also have a cat that was good on her own for the few days that we were gone but she took efforts to spend time with her and give her some love too!! Coming back to a clean home after a long flight was such a treat too. Thank you Mikaela!!!”


“Claudia did a great job and our pups warmed up to her quickly! She played with them and communicated with us often about their activities. We came home to happy pups!”


“This is the 4th time that Megan has housesat for me and she is very communicative regarding the events with my Golden. She leaves my house in excellent condition and takes great care of my dog. I have utmost faith in Megan which is why I continue to use her. Thank you Megan!”


“Kellie was great. Always responsive and took great care of my pets and home. I would highly recommend her and would use her pet sitting services again.”


“Terra did an amazing job with Maisy. I had to hire unexpectedly at the last minute and she was so quick to respond and had great communication, she was also flexible with her schedule in order to accommodate mine. She sent tons of pictures which I appreciate too! I will definitely reach out to her for my future trips to San Diego.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages from puppies to senior dogs including some of my own. I enjoy being around animals and have always found them fascinating. I’m currently working full time but enjoy taking on extra time to care for others pets when pet parents need that vacation or time away from home for a few hours. I can work most weekends and afternoons. I can fully supervise your fur babies depending on their needs. It can be as small as being there to watch TV with them to following a strict schedule.

“Brittany was fantastic! She was comfortable with my giant dogs, loved on them like her own and was really flexible with a last minute booking! I would 💯 recommend and use again”


About: I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. My specialty is in training dogs -- I spent about 6 years as a puppy-raiser for Guide Dogs of America, which entails training, socializing, and loving a young pup until they are about 1.5 years old and pass their test to start more intensive training at a guide dog school. Since then, I've trained my own dogs as well as those of friends and family, and have learned many, many tricks of the trade and dealt with quite the range of ages, breeds, and temperaments :) I've also been lucky to have lots of pet-sitting opportunities and really enjoy getting to know and love so many animals. I make it a special point to include some training with every job, as it makes each owner super happy (and my life easier too!). I really love cats as well and while I have not explored much in the training arena with them (though I've seen it done!), I love to snuggle and play -- or give space to -- these excellent furry friends. I work remotely and part-time, so I can give each animal all the time and love they need (even the neediest --- and let's face it, we have a lot of extra love-hungry pets out there). In your own home, it's your rules - I'm flexible and have a variety of experience. Just let me know their routines, and I'll make sure the critters get what they need.

About: I am on rover to provide love to your pups when you can’t! I have two senior dogs of my own and am willing to follow any special care plans/needs :) I am a part time nanny so I have mornings and evenings free to spend with your dog. I am fairly active so walks are expected but not required. I am prepared to adapt to whatever your living situation/dogs needs are, we can come up with a safety plan together depending on your dogs needs.

“We are the typical Frenchie and Doodle parents. Our two Frenchies can be spoiled and expect to be treated like a human. Everything went smoothly and we got daily pictures and updates. Would definitely hire Jackie again.”



About: As a lifelong dog lover and the proud owner of five wonderful dogs throughout my life, I’ve been caring for pets since I was 13 years old. I’m currently a full-time college student, and spending time with animals is one of my greatest joys. Whether it’s going on energetic runs or playing a game of fetch, I make sure every pup gets the exercise, engagement, and love they need. I always treat the pets I care for as if they were my own, because I understand just how much they mean to their families. I’m happy to accommodate any special needs your dog may have and follow all instructions closely. Long walks and attentive care are guaranteed—though I can’t promise I won’t sneak them an extra treat or two! As a part-time college student, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of free time to dedicate to caring for animals. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine—I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets, whether it’s going on walks, playing, or just offering some calm companionship. My availability allows me to give each pet the attention and care they deserve, without feeling rushed or distracted. I provide pet care in my clients’ homes, where pets are most comfortable in their familiar environment. I make sure to follow all routines and instructions closely—whether it’s feeding, administering medication, going on walks, or giving them playtime and attention. I keep the space tidy, respect your home, and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.

Charlene is a fantastic sitter. We've used her twice now. She's always keeping us updated on Atlas's well-being. We love that she's thorough and reliable. We recommend her to anyone needing a sitter!!☺️

Kellie was great! She stayed the night with our pup and took awesome care of him. We would definitely ask for her help again :)

Mikaela was so communicative and helpful with Balou. Balou has some mobility issues and Mikaela handled him with such care. We will be booking with her everytime we need a sitter. Thanks again Mikaela!!

Michael was very responsive to our request, visiting our home and meeting our dog before the stay, and providing daily updates with pictures during our dog's stay. Michael was very professional and left our house the way we left it. I will reach out to Michael in the future when we have dog-sitting needs.

Shelby rocks and my dog Ghost loves her. Wish she was a babysitter too as I would trust her with my daughter. 100% recommended.

Meg was awesome! We had a bit of an emergency and needed someone fast. Meg helped us out with less than 24 hours notice and took great care of our doggos. She was very communicative and kind. Would definitely recommend again.

Tori is the BEST. She takes such wonderful care of our pets and gives us the ability to enjoy our time away knowing that our animals are in loving hands while we are away!

Whanadi always gives such a great care to our English Bulldog. She follows our directions well, handles special feeding instructions, and gives lots of great updates.

Jack is a great choice for dog walking and sitting. He's true to what he says on his profile about really caring for your pet and it showed during our 7 day vacation where Jack stayed overnight and treated our boys with patience and love. He sent regular updates and pictures and with an older dog needing that little extra time and attention, he made me feel very comfortable. I will definitely use Jack again!

Nadia is always so great and communicates the whole time! We know our boy is loved and taken care of!

Michelle is the best! I felt so comfortable leaving my old guy with her. She gave him all the love and communicated with us the whole time. I will definitely use her again.

Claudia did a great job and our pups warmed up to her quickly! She played with them and communicated with us often about their activities. We came home to happy pups!

Halena was awesome with Rosie. She followed all of my requests on feeding, giving her meds and playtime. Communication was prompt and I felt Rosie was more than comfortable in Halena’s care. Rosie and my house were well taken care of…Will definitely ask Halena to watch Rosie again.

Andrea did an excellent job with my puppy girl Scully. She sent photos, kept me updated and made her feel very comfortable while I was gone. Great job and thank you again 😎🐾🐶

Thank you again for taking such wonderful care of Nola. Also, a huge thank you for going over to our house earlier then scheduled because Nola was freaking out and barking. That was so kind of you to step in and go the extra mile to help us. You’re the best!

Gisele did great with my Luna for overnights. She’s very communicative and shared a lot of updates. Definitely recommend her for your future pet care needs.

Jackie was awesome! She overcame some challenges that we weren’t planning for. Handle them with Care and skill. Meaning we didn’t have to worry while we were away.

Would 10/10 recommend and book again!! Absolutely amazing caretaker and great at communicating. We truly appreciated his willingness to help us out in a last second pinch. Thank you again and hope to use Rover again soon ☺️

Marina was absolutely fantastic! She cared for our two dogs and cats with so much love and attention while staying in our home. Our energetic pup, Mabel, got all the playtime and cuddles she needed and our shy cat, Bear, even came out of her shell. We especially loved the regular photo updates that showed everyone happy and relaxed. The house was spotless when we returned and it was clear our pets safe and loved. We would highly recommend Marina to friends and family!

Michelle is the best! I always want to make sure the sitter is as comfortable with Riley as he is with the sitter. She was so comfortable and knowledgeable with senior dogs. My old guy has some quirks and she was so patient and loving. I am so thankful to have found her. Will definitely use her again!
