“I definitely recommend Ethan! I booked Ethan for a few hours to stay with my sensitive new rescue dog Monty when I had to leave for work. Monty is still decompressing and gets stressed and barks when left alone. Ethan was very patient with him and even got Monty to warm up so much he was asking for belly rubs!”
“Shanneal is a fantastic sitter - she took care of our two puppers, one of whom can be challenging and needs some specific care, for a couple nights at our house. She sent lots of pictures and did a great job making sure the doggies were happy. Highly recommend!”
“IULIIA is a great dog watcher! We have hired her on 3 different occasions and are very happy with her. I highly recommend her! We will use her again for sure. Thank you!”
“Kim was great with Sadie! She played with her and took her on a walk. Sadie is a very high energy dog. Kim did a good job keeping her busy. Sadie really enjoyed spending time with Kim. We will definitely contact her again.”
About: Hey, I’m Anthony! I’ve been around animals since I was born. Grew up on a mini farm and took care of countless of dogs, as well as cats. I actually have a Siamese cat! I’ve always felt so connected with animals my entire life and most (if not all) pets of friends/family love me :) I’ve also watched a lot of pets in my life from time to time, whether it’s for a friend, neighbor, or family member. I work part-time at the moment and I have a lot of time on my hands, aside from work and occasional hobbies. My work schedule is given out a month in advance, so I always know when I’m available in the future and when I’m not. I’m very good with respecting the boundaries of animals and providing the care that they need. Your animal needs a lot of playtime? I got that covered. Your animal needs company but is more on the shy side? Got it, we can just hang out! Let me know what is needed for your pet, how their usual day looks, and I’ll be more than happy to put my all into caring for them
About: I’ve spent my entire life caring for animals, from beloved pets to working as a pack care manager with wolves and wolf-dog hybrids. I have extensive hands on experience in real world animal care and behavior. I recently graduated from a specialized animal care and training program, where I deepened my knowledge in training, welfare, and animal behavior. I’m especially passionate about understanding how animals think, communicate, and thrive, and I bring that enthusiasm into every animal I work with. Honestly, my whole life revolves around pet care. It’s important to me to provide an enriching life to my own pets, and of course to the pets that I care for regularly. I thoroughly follow all directions given by owners and am very meticulous and detail oriented. I have experience caring for geriatric animals, as well as animals who need medications multiple times a day and specific, personalized needs.

About: I am a veterinary technician who has worked in the veterinary field for 5+ years. I love all animals and have experience handling/caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, pocket pets, and a variety of reptiles. I am a UC Davis Alumna and have a bachelor's degree in Animal Science. I am currently a CVM student at MWU. With my extensive knowledge of animal behavior and handling, I am well-prepared to care for pets of all species. I am comfortable with medication administration, including giving pills, liquid medicine, and insulin shots. Put your mind at ease with a pet sitter who truly cares for your furry, feathery, and scaley friends. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to reach out! :) I have a very flexible schedule. I am also available to stay overnight at your house to keep your pets company, let the gardeners in, take the trash out, make sure your plants are watered, mail is taken in, etc. Dog walking: Your pets' safety is always my top priority. I only walk pets from one household at a time to ensure they have my undivided attention. I will keep an eye for any signs of heat distress during the summer and ensure the pavement is an appropriate temperature for walks. If deemed unsafe, I will contact you immediately to discuss postponing the walk at a later time. House sitting: I am very reliable and take pride in ensuring your pet is in the safest hands while in my care. I am also very accommodating with any special requests for your fur babies. Does your dog like to get pup cups from Starbucks? Do they have a favorite treat? Does your pet like to get brushed? Let me know so I can provide your beloved fur babies with the best care possible!
“Taylor was really patient with Luna, and built a relationship with her overtime. We are so grateful to have found Taylor and recommend her to others. She is a welcome addition to the pack! 🐾”
About: Hi, I’m Julia! I’ve been a dog sitter for 10 years and absolutely love spending time with animals of all kinds. I have two dogs of my own and lots of experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve cared for pets with a wide range of needs, including: • Puppies, kittens, and senior pets • Dogs recovering from cancer or amputation • Dogs who experience seizures • Pets with limited mobility or arthritis • Dogs with chewing habits and anxiety • Medications and following special routines I’ve also watched cats and would love to gain more experience with them too! Above all, I truly love caring for animals and want you to feel completely at ease knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I always keep communication open and send regular photo updates, so you can relax knowing your pets are happy and well cared for. I am available for only boarding/house sitting during the work week (Mon-Fri) and available for all care including drop ins, walks, house sitting and boarding on weekends :) With my extensive experience of watching dogs I’ve learned a lot about keeping animals safe. I’m constantly keeping an eye on them and looking out for any potential hazards. I always create a safety plan with the pet parent beforehand so if anything ever did happen we can get your pet the care it needs as soon as possible .
About: Ever since I was little I’ve always had an unbelievable love for animals. I have been caring for pets since I was 12 years old, watching family, friends and neighbors dogs. I have also been working as a Veterinary Assistant/tech since 2021 and have my degree in Veterinary Technology. Caring for animals has always been my true love in life. I treat every pet as if they are my own, ensuring they receive love, attention, and the care they deserve, including never ending belly rubs. I’m committed to providing a safe and enjoyable experience not only your pets but you as an owner as well. Whether it’s an energetic pup or a senior pet who needs a bit more patience my goal remains the same. Need a cat sitter? I would love to watch your fur baby, do drop in visits or whatever else you may need. I understand the boundaries cats may have with touch and new people. I would love to meet you and your pet! I am currently working at an animal hospital in Encino and typically work Sunday-Wednesday 8am-7pm. Depending on the distance, I will be able to check in your pet during my lunch break at work. I am pretty flexible on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I want not only your fur baby to be comfortable and feel safe but I want you as a pet owner to feel the same. I will treat your home with the utmost respect.
“I knew my doggies were in good hands with Esther. I was able to relax and enjoy my trip. She did a great job house sitting and followed all my instructions. My dogs seemed well cared for and happy when I got home. I especially appreciate the pictures Esther sent every day.”
About: Hi! I’m Alice. I’ve been dogsitting for friends and family since 2015. I LOVE dogs of all sizes. I have a Dutch Shepherd fur nephew, a MinPin fur niece and a Pitsky fur niece that I fully trained and helped raise. There is no dog that’s too young or too old for love. Ask me anything else you’d like to know! I have a flexible schedule, so my availability is open during the day, Monday through Friday. I’m good with walks and pet/house sitting. When caring for dogs in your home, I’d go by whatever your normal routine for your dog is. Feeding times, walk times, bathroom breaks, etc. would not change. I also send pictures during our time together so you can see what we’re up to (and because I know you probably miss them).
West Hills pet parents share their Rover experiences
Coral was absolutely amazing with my senior dog. She provided regular updates, photos, and I can tell my pup was well taken care of and happy when I got home. She sometimes stops eating when I'm gone for longer trips and with Coral she was content and eating and playing in a way where I know she was so comfortable with her. 10/10!
Bouvier was above and beyond communicative and caring of our 2 senior Golden Retrievers, one with medical needs and the other that developed a medical need while we were gone. We felt in the loop the entire time although we were a Continent away. She took over sitting in between another sitter’s stay and was more than willing to communicate personally with her about the status of the pups. We are grateful to Bouvier and look forward to having her our pups in the future.
Lexy was awesome! We were very nervous leaving our crew of 4 pups 2 cats and 1 lizard while went on vacation for a week. She had no problem dealing with the shenanigans of our 1 year old pup while bonding with our other middle aged and senior dogs. She followed all of our instructions to a t and sent plenty of sweet updates and photos. It felt like she really bonded with everyone and seamlessly jumped into their routine. She asked questions whenever she wasn't sure about something to make sure she got it done right. She happily brought in all of our packages and mail and left the house in great condition. We feel so lucky to have finally found someone we can trust with our squad. Definitely would recommend!
Arielle did an incredible job house sitting our 3 pets over the long weekend. She was professional, attentive, and a joy to our 2 dogs and cat. Updates every day with pictures and a report on the days and evening activities. We knew our pets were safe and happy with Arielle watching them. Would and will try to rebook with her again!
Ava is what every dog owner hopes for when leaving their pet in someone else’s care. She is loving, gentle, trustworthy, and we couldn’t be more grateful to have found her. Clover is a shy and nervous but sweet girl who just takes some time to open up- but Ava’s unmatched ability to make her feel adored and safe has meant an easy transition to being best buds. Whether it’s taking clover for her daily walk, or Ava watching her for an extended stay, we take comfort in knowing our girl is being loved and having a blast.
Olivia connected with my dog, Sadie, right away. She was very friendly and nurturing. Sadie had just been spayed, and Olivia did a great job taking care of her. She gave her all of her medications and was very good about making sure all of Sadie’s needs were met. I felt very comfortable leaving Sadie with Olivia. We will definitely have Olivia take care of Sadie again!
Samantha was an AMAZING dog sitter for our sweet boy Wallace. We came home to a sweet and calm boy, and we could just tell how loved and attended to he had been during our time away. We appreciated her communication and she sent a few pics of our sweet boy, to let us know how he was doing. BONUS - she did an amazing sketch/doodle of him that I DO plan on framing bc it’s so incredible. Would recommend her to anyone!
Arnika was an amazing dog sitter! We were away on a 4-day trip, and she took such great care of our pup, Anya 🐶. She was incredibly responsible, attentive, and truly treated Anya like her own, spoiling her with love and affection. Arnika kept in touch the entire time, sending us regular updates and lots of sweet photos of Anya eating, walking, playing 💕, and sleeping peacefully. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our baby was happy and in such caring hands. Thank you, Arnika, for taking such wonderful care of Anya!
