“Cloe saved my trip when my original sitter plans backed out days before. She’s super quick to respond and I felt really confident in her care for Odin in my home while I was away. My mind was at ease.”
“This was the 1st time Jona watched our 2 large dogs. He followed the instruction given to him to the T, and asked smart questions if he wasn't sure. He is 100% trustworthy and integer. A rare find. I would definitely book him again.”
“Cassandra provided wonderful care to my sweet boys ;) Plenty of pictures and updates were sent and all activities well documented. Will definitely book with Cassandra in the future!”
“We had a lovely experience working with Vasil. He stayed in our home for the weekend to look after our 2 yorkies and gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were that they were being well taken care of. Would definitely recommend Vasil and hope to work with him again in the future :)”
“Joel is the best pet sitter ever! He’s been watching my cat bobo for 2 years now and always takes such great care of him. He’s super responsive and sends lots of updates. He’s also very respectful of my home! My cat is always super relaxed and happy when I get home and it allows me to enjoy my trips all the more knowing Joel is taking such good care of him!”
“Kate is great, and her calm demeanor was very important to my high energy puppy— who takes time to warm up to folks. He warmed to her very quickly. I’d definitely use Kate again.”
“Jordan did an excellent job watching our pup! We initially booked her for one day of house-sitting, but when our plans changed and we needed a second day, Jordan was ready to help us. We set up a meet and greet and Jordan was very communicative during the booking process. Throughout her sitting days, she kept us updated with texts and pictures of our pup and even did some household cleaning like doing some dishes and taking out the trash! We were impressed by Jordan's attention to detail and care for our pup, and we highly recommend her.”
About: If you’re looking for an attentive, experienced and loving caregiver for your furbabies, you’ve found your girl! And being a freelance photographer, I love sending clients cute pics while they’re away. I’ve not only been the friend that takes care of everyone’s pets while they’re away, but I was also a dog walker on the east coast for many years in college. I have had my kitty Kunka since 2017 and have since adopted a stray in the community that needed some love. I grew up in a very pet-loving home. We always had cats & dogs, and on some occasions, a fish tank or cage of gerbils. My mother built an outdoor turtle habitat, and would often rescue animals in the community that needed aid. When I’m not pet sitting, I am a photographer and Social Media Coordinator for local businesses. I spend my free time staying active, under trees, riding mopeds with friends, writing and playing music. Cant wait to meet your fur-family! I am a freelance photographer, so my schedule varies each week. I typically have a couple shoots on the weekends, and maybe a few during golden hour each week, but most shoots only last 1-3 hours, so I am able to balance both gigs. I also work part time in Carson at a textile firm. When caring for your fur babies, I make sure that their safety, well-being and happiness are priority. I will always read your notes and follow instructions carefully and am very self-aware! With having lengthy experience as a pet and house sitter, as well as having prior experience as a professional eco-friendly house cleaner, I am incredibly respectful and mindful when entering any client's home, and make sure not to have distractions when caring for your bb.
“Raevyn was amazing with our senior dog while we went on 10 day vacation. She was timely and respectful, and always provided updates. Apple is not very friendly with strangers right away but with her she was immediately calm. Apple had a good time and we had a worry free vacation. We will definitely use her as our sitter in the future.”
“Had a great experience with Brendan for our first time with Rover. He was easy to coordinate with, patient and kind with our dog, and was very communicative while watching her!”
About: Most of my pets have been dogs and some of them have been older than a year or two months old, currently open to learn more. Currently looking for a part-time and love dogs. I have been taking care of dogs since I was in elementary school and currently have one. I live in a small apartment and get to walk her around the city and usually walk her two times per day during the weekends
“Karen was great!! She was punctual, listened and carried all instructions about my little anxious dachshund. Karen sent photos and communicated with me throughout this first stay at our home. I was able to relax and have a great time on our weekend away knowing my dog was in the best of hands. I would not hesitate to have her stay here again. Thank you Karen!”
About: Since before I can remember, I have always had a passion for animals and a desire to work with them. Family friends have always trusted me with looking after their beloved pets, from dogs, to cats, and even fish! You can always count on me to provide the utmost care and love for your pet, all while having fun. I currently work a 9-5 but my availability is flexible. I hope you take the time to consider me in your search for the perfect petsitter! (: I’m currently working a 9-5, but my availability is flexible! I am available almost everyday after 5, and I’m off every weekend. I am open to house sitting the whole weekend, or partially as needed. I am very respectful of your space and would treat it as my own. I’m a neat freak and would leave it as if I was never even there.
“Laura is fantastic! I will absolutely book with her again! Tuddy loved her! and she sent updates all day long ! it was great! def hire her to help you with your pet sitting needs!”
About: currently working in an animal emergency hospital for 4 years! i’ve worked with dogs 3x my weight, and cats who climb the walls. there is nothing new to me in the animal field working 5 days a week at an animal emergency hospital, most are early shifts so i have a big bulk of my day free to pet sit! mentally i’m never really clocked out the key is to have your energy feel as if your at ease with the pet no matter the environment. they can definitely sense your energy! i’m high energy myself and can be the best for really active pets, whether it’s going out for runs or playing fetch, or providing mentally stimulating treat games with them!
“Jay is amazing. Punctual, reliable, kind and highly attentive. He greeted Milo (who is a little shy) very slowly and thoughtfully which worked very well indeed. Jay watched Milo whilst I worked from home and I was able to observe his single point focus at all times on Milo. Jay is a treasure and a first class dog whisperer.”
About: I think what sets me apart from other sitters is my determination, admiration, and respect for all. I take all comments and concerns as a growing opportunity for my own experience and also to better the experience of your pets. I work graveyard 5 days a week, and I find myself wanting to detach and find comfort in another opportunity as well as keeping my original job. I am good with communication and will always find a way to work around my schedule, compromise, while also taking consideration of the owners schedule. I will first make sure your pet is comfortable with me in their presence and asking the owners about their personality and what the pets routine is throughout the day/night. I am a list person and will always make sure to check all the boxes as needed. While also developing a kind friendship with your pet.
“Jackson was amazing with our two dogs! They loved him. He was prepared, attentive, and easy to work with. I highly recommend him. He took great care of both of them while we were gone.”
West Side pet parents share their Rover experiences
This was our first sit with Jordan and it was great! We booked last minute but Jordan was great about doing a meet and greet with us on short notice. Petunia took easily to Jordan and my wife and I felt good knowing she was in good hands. Jordanwas great about keeping us updated throughout the day and sending pictures of Petunia. We will definitely be keeping Jordan in mind for our future pet sitting needs.
My dog took a liking to Ali right away! I did also and feel she genuinely cares and is knowledgeable about animals. She sent cute updates and was clear in her schedule and communication. She was respectful of my space and I felt at ease knowing my pet was in good hands.
I am reluctant to leave a review for Lauren as we will 100% use her services again in the future, but know a good review will make this harder in our future. But Lauren was/is awesome. We have a 200lb Great Dane and frequently travel where we need to house him for a couple days. In the past he has stopped eating which causes him to get anxious and 'hangry' and he's a mess when we get home. So we tried Rover and selected Lauren cause she has VetTech experience. She was wonderful with our pet AND even took him for daily walks which he loves but 200lbs is a lot when a squirrel crosses his path. Lauren is awesome and stayed over in our home for couple of days. Shows up on time and communicates expectations and daily status. Confidence with Lauren.
Mahima was fantastic! If I could leave more than five stars I would. She is detail oriented, and followed all my instructions perfectly. I was worried about my reactive boy. But she handled him beautifully, and is very confident in her approach. She sent many videos of daily activities, ensuring my furry friend was well taken care of. If she was unclear, she didn't hesitate to ask. She left my house immaculate. Mahima is extremely kind and respectful, and a lovely human being. I highly recommend her. Sparky and I both say THANK YOU Mahima!
Simply can't recommend Alex enough! She has been an absolute lifesaver for my boyfriend and me, helping with backup care for our dog, Mischa, who just went through TPLO surgery. From the very beginning, Alex has been incredibly attentive, kind, and reliable. Mischa (and our other animals too) warmed up to her instantly, which immediately put us at ease. Alex has gone above and beyond to make sure our pup is comfortable, safe, and happy—whether it’s administering medications, helping with mobility, or just providing extra love and cuddles during recovery. Her communication is excellent with regular check ins throughout the day, which has been a huge comfort during this stressful time. We feel so lucky to have found someone we can truly trust with our fur babies. If you’re looking for a compassionate, responsible, and loving caregiver for your dog, Alex is absolutely the one!
Christina stepped in on short notice when my usual dog sitter wasn’t available. She did amazing, took care of my pups at my place for a few days, kept me updated throughout and followed instructions. I’ve found someone that I will definitely trust again in the future. Thank you Christina :)
