“As a Rover Sitter myself, I’m so grateful to have connected with Alison & Tom to look after our shy girl. They were patient, communicative, and went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable and happy! What more could you ask for?”
“Savi was so wonderful with my dog! She came to feed and play with her while we were away for the night. She even took her for a walk! Savi is clearly a natural with animals and sent me lots of photos of them cuddling. I am so glad I can count on her and she will be back next month to take care of my kitty for an extended period. Thank you, Savi!”
“Mary Anne provided excellent care for our cat while we were on vacation. She sent us daily pictures and was very responsive with communications. Highly recommended”
“Anna is the best with our dogs! They love when she comes over and gives them all the pets and attention. She's also great dealing with a rambunctious 1 yr old pup!”
“Our cats loved Jurick! They warmed up to him easily and he took his time and was patient with our most skittish cat. He was prompt on time everyday. Highly recommend!”
“Molly was so kind and helpful! She went above and beyond to make sure my little Midnight had everything she needed while I was away. She also sent such helpful updates! Would definitely book with her again.”
“Julian was great with our typically shy kitty. I don't know how he did it, but our cat actually sat on the sofa with him for pets. We are so appreciative that Julian watched Cal over the holidays. Highly reccommend!”
“Blue was wonderful! We have a couple of kitties that are terrified of strangers but she was able to coax them out while we were away. We will definitely use her the next time we are away from home!”
About: We love dogs - all sizes, shapes, and personalities. We grew up with dogs and can't imagine life without them. Sadly, we just lost our precious doodle to cancer and miss having a furbaby around. I have experience training basic commands and Ron can give injections if needed. He works from home full time and we have a large, fenced yard. I work full time Monday through Friday, but my husband Ron works from home and would love to get a break from his computer to play and snuggle. I get home most days around 4:45pm and can go for walks. We have a large, fenced yard for your pup to run and play. We also have a small covered dog run accessible by a dog door for when your furbaby needs a quick potty break.
About: I care for a Vizsla and a sweet senior pup at home, so I'm very familiar with different energy levels and needs. I truly enjoy walking dogs and welcoming them into our home. We’re located just steps from nature in the beautiful West Hills, which means your dog will have plenty of access to peaceful walks and scenic hikes.. I'm currently home full-time, which means your dog will get plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. I'm flexible and can accommodate all types of services, providing a safe, loving environment with lots of personalized, one-on-one care. We have a fully fenced yard and two friendly resident dogs who love making new friends. I’m happy to follow any specific feeding, walking, or sleeping routines to help your pup feel right at home. Your dog will be in a safe, loving environment with plenty of companionship and care.
About: I’ve been a foster Mom to dogs, giving them a gentle and caring home while I work to bring out their character and paying special attention to their needs. I currently work full time from home, and with regular time for walks, games, and playing in the yard! Typically available during the work week. I have a fenced yard and a very dog-friendly neighborhood for walks. It’s important to me that your furry friend is comfortable and enjoying themselves!
About: I grew up bringing cats home, and have always been concerned with the humane treatment of animals. I am a conscientious animal lover who knows that dogs need to explore and sniff outside to calm themselves and to feed their interests. Most cats like to get repeatedly "combed" with damp hands to remove dust and loose fur. I listen to a dog to find what pace and range they are comfortable with, and let them go with their curiosity. Once a pet knows me, they are often overwhelmed with excitement to go out for their personal adventure; then I know that my work is for good - they are having fun and experiencing nature. The goal is to make your pet's life more fulfilled, calm and happy. Cheryl I work part-time, four hour shifts. When I stay with a pet I adjust my work schedule so that I work few shifts and enjoy my time with the pet. I strive to be away no longer than 5.5 hours at a time. I no longer bring new pets into my home because I had one elder dog staying who was incontinent and it was a problem with wall to wall carpeting...
“Three Rover sitters ghosted/cancelled on us last minute and we were desperately looking for a cat sitter in the evening of the day before we leave for a three day trip - and Celina rescued us. She gladly drove over at night to do a meet and greet and pick up the key and took care of my cats with such love and care for the next three days. She carefully followed our instructions and gave our cats sincere love and attention. Celina is a trustworthy and loving sitter, I am very glad I found her. Will use her service for many more times to come!”
About: Hi, I’m Fresca, your pet’s new favorite human! 🐾 I’ve been surrounded by furry friends my whole life, and I genuinely love spending time with animals—whether it’s tossing a ball, going on a sniff-filled stroll, or just hanging out on the couch for some solid cuddle time. I understand every pet has their own personality and needs, and I make it my mission to keep tails wagging and whiskers happy while you’re away. I’ll treat your fur baby like one of my own—with love, attention, and lots of fun. I work a 7-hour workday, a few days of the week, which means I’m away for a portion of the day—but I make sure pets in my care get plenty of love, attention, and exercise before and after work. Mornings and evenings are dedicated to walks, playtime, feeding, and snuggles, and I always make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. When I’m caring for pets in your home, I do everything I can to keep their routine—and your home—just how you like it. I stick to feeding schedules, walk routes, and all those little details that make your pet feel safe and loved. Whether your pup needs daily meds, your cat has a favorite sunny window, or your senior dog needs a slower pace, I’ve got it covered with patience and care. I’m also happy to bring in the mail, water your plants, adjust lights, or work with any security systems you have in place. Basically—I’m here to give you total peace of mind while you’re away and make sure your pet feels like they never skipped a beat. And yes—you’ll absolutely get plenty of photo updates and cute check-ins while you’re gone. Because your fur baby deserves their own vacation report card 🐾💌
“Words cannot express how grateful I am to have been lucky enough to have Langdon walk and care for my dog, Ori. She’s a senior Boston, and like many squishy faced pup parents, I have those constant worries - about her bug eyes getting poked, overheating in the summer, stubborn and diva-ish behavioral traits - if you know, then you just know. Langdon is a certified obedience instructor with his own business and a dedicated following. He even owns and cares for multiple brachiocephalic breeds. We also had the pleasure of meeting Langdon’s daughter, Lilla, at our initial meet and greet. Ori is typically hesitant around children but this bright young girl has the calm and nurturing demeanor of an old soul. She instantly put Ori at ease just as her father does all while she intently observed his subtle yet highly effective training methods. All positive reinforcement based too!! Without shame, I 100% consider myself an overprotective, crazy controlling, helicopter of a dog mom but for the first time in almost 9 years…*drumroll*…i felt less of that lingering anxiety while at work and in knowing someone else was in control of her safety. I can’t explain it, I just feel better, happier and more productive. It was immediately apparent that my dog was happier and more content when I got home late the first night too. We all long to see that tired, satisfied look on their face from a well balanced day. It has been such such a relief and I can already see a difference in Ori’s behavior after only a couple walks with him. She is more attentive and has a faster response time to my commands. These walks are wayyyy more than just walks and there’s not a number or star rating high enough for my experience with Langdon. Although, after all her socializing down Alberta St, Ori has become quite a material girl and can’t keep herself from window shopping and stopping by all the shops to say hello. Thank you so much for everything, Langdon! Excited to plan another walk soon :)”
About: My family has had dogs since I was born, so I have several years of experience working with dogs from puppy age to senior dogs. I have taken care of pets for family and friends, and I’m extremely responsible, careful, and reliable. I work from home, giving me a bit of flexibility for pet care. I also have evenings, weekends, and early mornings open most of the time! I am willing and able to care for your dog as you see fit! I live with two dogs currently - one of my own and my roommates. They both have different needs and I am experienced in managing both of them. I’m comfortable caring for all breeds, ages, and personalities!
About: I've always had a family dog of my own (both small and little dogs, both reactive dogs and non-reactive dogs), and I have dog sat, in their home, for others since 2018. I don’t bring my dog with me on sits due to my dog being highly energetic. He stays with a family member if I’m away. I can am available to house sit everyday of the week, but can not take drop in services on Tuesdays and Wednesdays due to my class schedule. I am very good at truly listening to the needs of clients and customers. I know that it's really hard to find someone you trust to care for our pets, so I also like to meet the pet and their guardian before the scheduled housesitting.

Cheryl S.
“Cheryl has taken incredible care of our beloved fur baby, Petey, for a few years now, and we’ve never had a better sitter for her. We travel a lot, and have used boarding facilities and others to provide in-home care before, but Cheryl’s love of animals and her dedication to their well-being has now spoiled us forever. She really connects with pets and our 13-year-old Petey is always healthy, happy, and well-adjusted when we come home. Cheryl is able to get her to eat and relax when when we’re gone, and it’s really evident when we return... that’s priceless to us. We’ll never use anyone else so obviously, I highly recommend Cheryl’s services!”

Franchesca V.
“I can't say enough great things about Franchesca and the incredible care she provided for our two high-needs Frenchies. Both dogs require a lot of attention and one requires daily medication twice a day, and she handled everything with patience, confidence, and so much care. It was clear from the start that she genuinely cared about their well being and made sure they were comfortable while we were away. We came home to two very happy pups and peace of mind knowing they were in the best hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable pet sitter.”

West Haven pet parents share their Rover experiences
Stellar!!!! The fluffballs love her! Thank you for taking care of those two again. Muffin is generally shy around people, but she came right out for you! I have a hard time leaving them, but I knew from previous experience that Adriana was the sitter I wanted. Flexibility, on time, attention to details, the photos and communication are why I was hoping she had availability. Thank you again. Happy Cats, Happy Life!
So grateful to have found Elizabeth on Rover! She was incredibly attentive, understanding, and caring with my puppy ! and truly worked magic with her! My dog is usually very shy and scared around new people, but by the end of her stay with Elizabeth and her kids, she looked so happy and confident. I couldn't be more thankful! Elizabeth also sent me regular updates and lots of adorable photos, I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone loving and trustworthy to care for their pet! :)
Annalise was a wonderful sitter! She sent us detailed updates every day, and great pictures of our pets. She took our active and anxious dog out every day and we came home to content, stress-free pets. We will definitely contact her again for future pet-sitting needs!
Emily did a fantastic job taking care of our cat while we were away for two weeks. She was attentive, responsible, and clearly made sure our cat felt safe and comfortable in our absence. When we got home, our cat was in great spirits and clearly well cared for. We’re so grateful for the peace of mind Emily provided and wouldn’t hesitate to ask her again in the future!
Leslie was so great with my two cats! She followed all my instructions and kept me updated with every visit! When I got home from my trip, my cats seemed to barely miss me, which is the best outcome, they clearly got plenty of attention while I was gone. I couldn’t be more pleased :)
I’m so thankful for Caitlyn! Due to an accident I had a last minute request. I felt so much better knowing that she was going to be caring for my animals and it helped take some of the stress off of what I was dealing with. Caitlyn took great care of them and I hope to book with her again .
