“Rachel did an amazing job watching our dog Lola. She stayed at our home and kept us updated. Rachel also sent us pictures and videos. Pretty certain Lola made a friend and we will certainly use Rachel again if she’s available.”
“Rebecca is a wonderful sitter; reliable, professional, and attentive. Our pups clearly enjoyed their time with her, and we really appreciated how she kept us updated throughout.”
“Sarah did a great job of taking care of my fur baby. She kept me posted, with several pics and videos, while I was gone. She took him on several walks, and made sure he had everything he needed. I would definitely recommend Sarah!”
About: Growing up in my parents house I had 5 cats and 2 dogs. I love each one of my pets and their unique personalities, and they have been my biggest responsibility. I understand how difficult it is to leave a loved pet and know they are in good hands, so I treat each pet with the love and respect as if they were mine. I have a very flexible schedule, and can adjust to any accommodations. Available weekdays, weekends, days and nights! I am a student and work with pets as well as babysitting. For dogs I am more than happy to walk them, clean up after them, give them food and water and play with them as much as wanted! Same thing for cats as well as litter cleaning 😊
“Kaitlyn was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of our pets and went above and beyond to make sure they were happy, safe, and loved while we were away. Her communication was great, and it truly gave us peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter and would 100% book her again. Highly recommend!”
“Xanadu is the literal BEST! 10/10 would recommend. She stayed at our place while we flew out for a weekend wedding trip and was extremely flexible when things went awry as hurricane Ian approached. Our trip was canceled and then back on and she came in clutch. Lots of pics and pets for our pup and floof, our minds and hearts were at ease knowing she was here.”
About: I volunteered at the human society all of high school and collected over 500 volunteer hours while working part time at a doggy day care. I majored in Wildlife Biology at Clemson University and now attend the University of Florida for Wildlife Medicine. Safe to say I have a lot of experience with both domestic and wildlife. I have experience with administering medicine as well as caring for elder pups. I also have 2 dogs of my own who remind me everyday how important they are to me! I work 7-2 every week day and go to school mostly online. Therefore I have the flexibility to accommodate most circumstances. I do travel often in the summer but once I schedule with a client, it’s set in stone. I have 3 bedrooms in my house as well as multiple baby gates. This allows me to keep the house dog safe and I have a fenced in private dog park across the street in my neighborhood.
“Christina is wonderful. She has stayed with our 2 dogs for house sitting multiple times. She provides very nice and detailed updates about our dogs each day. Most recently, we had the added challenge of unexpected house issues come up while we were out of the country, and Christina was excellent in handling the situation quickly and communicating with us and the service provider. Both your pets and home will be in the highest care with Christina!”
“Julieth is amazing!! She stayed at my home to take care of my furbaby!! She kept me posted everyday and even sent pictures everyday! She took care of him like if he were her own and that’s what makes her such a wonderful person! My doggy is a big baby and she was able to handle him with the most care and love. Definitely recommend 1000% and would love to have her stay with Hemi again!”
About: I’ve taken care of my many dogs from a young age! I’ve had stubborn and also Peppy animals so I know all brackets for animals! I know how to get along with most!!! I take my dog Peppa for a walk every morning and night and let her out about 6 times a day or as often as needed! We have zoomy (enrichment) time aswell! I make sure all animals are taken care of to the owners needs! I’ll also keep the home safe while present! Your animals safety is my number one priority!
“Teagan was absolutely amazing with our pets! She took such great care of our dogs, Beppo and Haruki, and even went above and beyond by helping with our cats and managing everyone’s medications with such care and attention to detail. When we got back, our dogs were not only well taken care of: Beppo & Haruki were genuinely happy and in great health when we came back home. Teagan is reliable, compassionate, and clearly loves what she does. We would welcome her back into our home anytime and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dedicated pet sitter!”
About: i love all dogs they are all puppies to me; do not mind households with both cats and dogs, I am pretty open to most animals currently have an open schedule. Just let me know when and where exactly you need the pet sitter and will be there. I live in Gainesville i own a small one bedroom condo for any pet setting needs and dont mind sitting in cilent’s home if they prefer, i’ll leave the preference up to the client
“Riley stayed with my dogs for boarding at my place. I came home to two happy pups. Riley was easy to communicate with, left the space tidy, and kept me updated. Would definitely book again!”
“Crystal is awesome! Being a veterinarian myself, I am pretty particular about who I choose to care for my dogs. Crystal is caring, detail-oriented, and compassionate. She had great communication with us about the booking and about how our dogs were doing and sent lots of pictures of them to keep our minds at ease while we were away. She was super understanding when our start and end dates needed to be changed due to unforeseen circumstances and I appreciated that so much. She has taken care of our dogs in our home twice now and I just booked her again for a longer trip. It is so nice to be able to relax knowing our dogs and our home are in good hands. I highly recommend Crystal to watch your fur babies!”
About: I’m a second-year veterinary student at the University of Florida with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I have dog sat numerous times for friends, neighbors, and families, including extended stays lasting several weeks. Through veterinary school and personal experience, I’m comfortable monitoring pets closely, administering basic medications if needed, and providing attentive, compassionate care. I understand how important consistency, communication, and trust are when leaving your pet with someone else, and I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently on summer break from veterinary school, so I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the week at all hours of the day to meet your pet’s needs. If you’re looking for a long-term sitter, I will also make sure to prioritize time for your pup during the school year (August–May). When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while their owners are away. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, and staying active or prefers a calmer, more relaxed environment, I’m happy to provide the care and attention that best fits their personality and needs. As a veterinary student with experience pet sitting for extended periods of time, I’m very attentive to animals’ behavior, routines, and overall well-being. I carefully follow all owner instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and household routines to ensure your pet is cared for exactly the way they are at home. My goal is always to make pets feel loved, comfortable, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind. I also enjoy sending regular photo updates so owners can feel confident their pets are safe and happy while they’re away.
West Hills pet parents share their Rover experiences
From the beginning, my pets were immediately drawn to Rebecca, and very calm and comfortable in her presence, even though they are normally a little shy and cautious. She has natural warmth and a gift with animals. When we first met, she asked questions about each of them and then follow-up questions after. Then during my trip, she was very attentive to their needs (they are not all on the same schedule, the kitties sometimes need to be separated, and one is on a diet, and my 9yo dog takes meds and experiences joint pain) and provided lots of updates with pictures. It was even beyond what I had hoped for since she had to be at the house so much due to the inconsistencies in their routines. I felt confident booking with Rebecca, and assured that my babies were safe, mentally stimulated, and happy while I was away. By the time I came home it was close to their bedtime, and they were all gathered near her, so it is clear the trust is unanimous! I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her. :)
We absolutely loved Sarah, and having her pet sit our cats is the best decision we made for our vacation. We have 3, and this is the longest we’ve been away from them. The most important thing to us is that she kept them safe, and I knew she would. If you read her bio, you’ll see how she emphasizes this. Having read nightmare stories, it was the number one most important thing to us. She was also patient with them and they each gradually warmed up to her. She was respectful to our home, and sent us pics every evening which we loved. She was always responsive to our communications. I will gladly have her out again. Thank you so very, very much, Sarah!
Josephine took wonderful care of both Clara and my home over the weekend. She provided me with plenty of pictures and updates of how Clara was doing. And asked ample questions, making sure Clara would receive the best possible care while she was there. She even went as far as to clean up after herself before leaving, being helpful in more ways than just watching Clara. I would absolutely book Josephine again next time I need a dog sitter!!
Jackson remains our go-to sitter after multiple exceptional experiences. He treats our dogs and our home with great care and seems to genuinely enjoy playing with them and walking them. We get proactive updates and fun pictures while we’re gone. Before Jackson, we brought our pups when we traveled because I’d worry when we left them behind. Now we enjoy worry free getaways and the dogs get to keep their routine & relax in comfort at home. Jackson is truly the best!
Sabrina is extremely responsive and reliable. She stayed at our house with our senior dog and took excellent care of her. Additionally, our travel plans unexpectedly changed (flight issues) and she was able to help us out in a pinch. We will definitely use her again!
You can tell Kat has a real love for animals! She was punctual, reliable, and so loving with our fur babies. It was our first time leaving them in the hands of someone other than family and she made the process easy! She sent us photos, kept us updated, and was very responsive. She went above and beyond for our pets and we will definitely be working with her again in the future :)
We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! Adelle was incredibly reliable, communicative, and clearly attentive to our cats’ needs. With three cats, it’s important to us that each one gets care and attention, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such capable hands. We came home to happy, relaxed cats and a well-kept space, which says everything. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, thoughtful, and genuinely caring with animals. 🐾✨
Scott did an overnight stay with our three dogs and was great. He was an excellent communicator, sending us regular updates and asking questions when appropriate. He showed up on time and kept us updated on when he was coming and going. The dogs all seemed relaxed and happy with him there, which is huge considering they are often anxious without their people around. Scott was extremely respectful of our home and left it so clean it was like he wasn't even there. We would not hesitate to use Scott again.
Marissa was a fabulous sitter for our pets, and we would highly recommend her for other pet parents. She was extremely responsive, conscientious, and responsible with our elderly dogs and rabbit. She sent us photos and check-ins every day, and we would love to rebook her in the future. Thank you Marissa!
I was lucky that Erin was available last minute for a booking during holiday timeframe. Erin came and meet me and my pups in person super last minute. She was prompt when showing up for the dogs while I was away, she communicated often with pictures and lovely videos and what really touched my heart the most is that one of my dogs doesn’t really warm up to people often. Usually when I’m away, she sleeps by the front door and waits for me to come home and I could tell through the pictures that she felt safe, loved and cared for. She bonded with Erin, which means the world to me because I have Dog Mom guilt leaving her. Erin is a fantastic dog sitter/companion, 10 out of 10 would recommend.
