“I'm so glad we found Minay!! She is such a gem of a person and has such a lovely warmth about her. My dogs and the rest of my family clicked instantly with her. She goes above and beyond, you can completely trust that your loved ones are in great hands.”

“I cannot recommend Hillary enough!! My kitty was just adopted from the shelter a month ago, and he is NOT a walk in the park to watch! He required ear drops twice a day, oral medication given some days, and Hillary even reattached his cone multiple times after he took it off. The key I left for her also got stolen on her first morning- and she was SO patient and understanding as I scrambled to fix it from halfway across the country 😅 I loved her updates, and I could tell my cat warmed up to her quickly as I saw so many pics of him going up for pets :) A well deserved five stars! 😊”

“Kamryn was so wonderful! This was our first time using Rover and we are so grateful that we had Kamryn watch our dogs. One of ours is very shy, and she opened up in no time to her. She was so sweet with them and they loved play time with her. Our other dog is facing pancreatitis and Kamryn made sure she received her daily probiotic and special food. She was so great at photo updates and being patient with our dog who has a hard time going potty. Kamryn was also so great and quick with communication. We will definitely work with her again. She is trustworthy, kind and all around great caretaker of our 2 dogs. Thank you Kamryn!”


About: For years I worked for City Dog Club as both a walker and sitter, I’ve had several pets as well. Love to go for walks, and give them all the love they need, whether that’s some play time or just sight seeing! Currently a full time student (online) so my hours are flexible, and I’m able to visit or take hours of the day to hang out and play and go for walks! I can’t have pets in my current home, but am able to come visit and hang out with them for hours on end where they’re comfortable in your own home!
About: I got a dog 4 years ago and my life changed. Being a 1st time dog owner, I ensured I did a lot of research on my dogs breed and training. I trained my dog consistently and developed skills on how to create a positive environment for him. I love to go on hikes, walks and runs with dogs. I love to play tug, fetch and seek. Being a dog sitter is important to me because as a traveler I know how daunting it can be to find a sitter that best fits my dogs needs. I am open to meet your dog beforehand if need to ensure they are comfortable with me. As a service provider I will ensure to follow instructions left to make sure that you are comfortable and experienced enjoyment while you’re away from home. I am currently working a full time but am available every Friday night until Monday morning. I am available for evening/night walks and check ins every weekday. I will ensure to gather information needed to support their sta such as food routines, play, pets, dos and donts. If your pet has medication I will also ensure to follow instructions given. If your pet is staying in my home, I have a dog who is crate trained and will ensure to monitor them when they interact.
“Minh was awesome and I will absolutely be booking her again! Ahead of the house visit she did a meet and greet with Rey and she asked very thoughtful questions. Her thoroughness put my helicopter mom brain at ease. She was prompt, sent pics and was an excellent communicator. Highly recommend!”

About: I have had a dog and a cat with my family since I was 12 years old. I live by myself now so I miss them very much. I transferred my love and energy to care for other pets in need. I have fostered 6 kittens and 2 adult cats. I just adopted the mama cat I fostered. Watching them live healthily and happily is my greatest joy ❤️ I will always keep your pet in sight. I am energetic and I have plenty of time to play with and take care of your pets. I live in an apartment. I am experienced so I will always keep the windows and doors closed for your pets' safety. Additionally, I am a very careful person. I will take care of your pet based on their personality and habits.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 13! I am currently on a Pre-Vet track while attending UC Merced. I have experience handling both cats and dogs in a veterinary clinic setting. I’ve worked with plenty of shelters where I would ensure the animals were well fed, socialized, and was able to create a clean/safe environment for them to the best of my abilities. I have 2 golden retriever dogs back in my hometown that I personally trained and raised since they were puppies when I lived with my parents. I am a full time student at UC Merced, however my classes are pretty condensed so I have a good amount of free time each day and all my evenings are 100% free. When I am entrusted with your furry friend I will always be sure to make time for their walks and keep to their feeding schedule! Weekends would be my most availability as it’s the days I don’t have classes. My house has a fenced backyard, and my housemates do have dogs and cats of their own and they are friendly towards other animals! If needed I’ll limit their interaction as I do have my own space in the house which is where your pet would be staying!
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life and genuinely love being around animals of all personalities and energy levels. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each pet’s needs, whether that means playtime, long walks, feeding schedules, or just giving them comfort and attention while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I’ll always treat them like they’re my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work as a content creator and spend most of my time at home. This allows me to provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, walks, and companionship throughout the day. I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. I also maintain an active lifestyle and love going on walks, making it easy to keep pets happy, engaged, and well cared for while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Having grown up with both dogs and cats, I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I carefully follow owner instructions, maintain a clean and pet-friendly environment, and make sure pets receive plenty of supervision, affection, exercise, and enrichment. Because I work from home, pets are rarely left alone and can enjoy consistent attention and care throughout the day. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care.
About: I’ve spent my whole life caring for animals, and most of my experience comes from my two now-senior dogs, Butterball and Millie. Growing up with them taught me hands-on skills such as administering eye drops, giving oral medications, and providing gentle senior care. I’m also a very active person, so I love taking dogs on long neighborhood walks, beach trips, or even hikes when appropriate. Butterball is a notoriously picky eater, so I’ve become very comfortable helping picky eaters feel relaxed and confident during mealtime. In addition to dogs, I’ve fostered cats of all ages for the past two years, from neonates to seniors, which has taught me how to meet their different developmental and medical needs. I currently have one cat, Beanie, who enjoys playtime, outdoor exploration on a harness, and plenty of cuddles, and I bring that same level of attention and patience to every cat I care for. I’d love the opportunity to meet your fur babies, get to know their personalities, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well taken care of while you’re away. I am currently at pharmacy school and my schedule varies a bit from going to school at 9 am and ending latest by 3 pm. The schedule does change every few weeks but I will be sure to let you know prior! I also work every other weekend, but I will know my schedule about a month in advance and can plan around. I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex with my cat, who spends most of his day lounging comfortably. In the evenings, I set up his toys for enrichment and dedicated playtime to keep him stimulated and happy. We also live near a duck pond, which is one of his favorite places to explore on a harness he loves watching (and sometimes trying to chase!) the ducks. When I’m caring for dogs, I take the same thoughtful approach. I walk them around the apartment complex or bring them to the duck pond for a calm morning or evening stroll. After our walks, I always wipe them down to keep them clean and comfortable before settling in for cuddles and downtime. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I prioritize creating a safe, clean, and relaxed environment where pets feel secure and cared for. I follow their routines closely, keep a close eye on their comfort, and make sure they get the love, structure, and enrichment they need.
“Ellyot was great with my cat, playing with her and even teaching her tricks while I was gone! Ellyot also communicated clearly about visit timing and took great photos to update me. Overall, I felt very at ease leaving my cat in Elloyt's care while I was out of the country. :)”

“Brendon was great with our puppy. The updates had cute pictures and always included a nice note about his visit. He was always on time and was a wonderful with our dog.”

About: I’ve taken care of puppies/kittens to senior dogs & cats and love spending time outside so can take long, high energy walks! I do make sure they are comfortable and go at a pace they need to stay active and happy. I was also a Surgery Recovery Aide at an animal shelter so I am well-versed in taking care of dogs and cats and making them feel safe! I work from home on Fridays so can take time out of my day to go on a quick walk and and am open most weekends! I care for others’ pets as I would my own! If they need treats, layers or are nervous around other animals, I make sure our walks fit what they need.
About: I grew up on a small sanctuary-style farm where rescuing and caring for animals was part of daily life. From a young age, I was responsible for feeding schedules, cleaning enclosures, administering basic medications, and making sure every animal felt safe and loved. We cared for dogs, birds, small livestock, and a variety of rescues — which taught me patience, calm energy, and how to read animal behavior quickly. Over the past 20 years, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a slower pace and extra gentleness. I’m comfortable with leash training, reinforcing basic commands, maintaining structured routines, and providing enrichment through play and walks. I’m especially attentive to anxious or rescue dogs. I understand that trust is earned, not rushed, and I pride myself on creating a calm, reassuring presence. Your pet won’t just be watched — they’ll be genuinely cared for. I’m a freelance creative and student who works and studies from home, so I’m available for daytime care and consistent supervision throughout the day. Because I’m home-based, your dog won’t be left alone for long stretches. I’m able to provide regular potty breaks, playtime, enrichment, and a calm environment while you’re at work or out for the day. I keep my daycare spots limited to ensure each dog receives focused, attentive care. For daycare, I create a structured, calm environment where dogs feel secure and engaged. I monitor play closely, maintain separate rest areas when needed, and follow feeding or medication instructions exactly as provided. Because I work from home, I’m present and attentive throughout the day — not stepping out for long periods. I prioritize safe introductions, consistent routines, and lots of positive reinforcement to make sure every pup feels comfortable and cared for.

About: - Regular long-term (2+ weeks) sitter for a family friend’s small dog. She doesn’t do well with other dogs and is high anxiety, so I am well-versed in navigating walks and other stressors! - I adopted a medium-sized senior blind and deaf dog with arthritis during the pandemic, so I am also well-equipped in caring for high-maintenance, disabled dogs. - Overall, I have experience owning and sitting for a wide range (age, breed, socialization and training levels, etc.) of dogs, and can adapt to whatever their needs are! - I am completely available on weekends after 3PM on Fridays. I work from home on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, so I’m available for short potty breaks and walks around lunch time, as well as longer walks and sitting after 5PM. - In terms of gaining trust and acceptance with a dog, I am very comfortable moving slowly and at the dog’s pace. As someone who has had a blind and deaf dog that wasn’t able to communicate needs “traditionally,” I feel quite capable of meeting dogs where they’re at and adjusting!
“This was my third time with Carley, and she did a great job caring for my cat that has lymphoma. Theo is really challenging with medication, and it meant a lot to me that Carley was able to administer his pills. I would definitely recommend Carley!”

Westlake pet parents share their Rover experiences
I’ve used Hillary for drop in visits a handful of times now, and Apollo loves her - I can tell from the photos! Hillary is always prompt and shows up on time and sends great notes on her visits. Really grateful for her always stepping in to sit last minute. Thank you as always sooooo much Hillary!!! ❤️

We always feel so at peace knowing that our cat is being taken care of by Daniele (even as admittedly somewhat helicopter cat parents)! She goes above and beyond to coordinate and communicate always. Both we and our somewhat shy cat cannot recommend her enough!!

It was so great meeting Shontel. She asked all the right questions that showed me she really cared about getting to know if my puppy. Her gentle and calm demeanor was much appreciated. She understood exactly when to pull back when my Moon was becoming overwhelmed. Listened to learn more about him and cared to know if she’d be best for him. We absolutely plan on booking her again!

Stephanie was a delight to book! She went above and beyond in taking care of my cats for a whole week. She sent pictures of their meal and playtime and I could tell she put a lot of care into making sure they were happy. I came back to a clean, litter free home and two happy kitties.

Elizabeth was great with our cats! We have one cat who is super shy and he warmed up to her pretty immediately which is always a great sign. She was super communicative and sent plenty of pictures and updates. Would recommend her to others needing care for their fur babies!

This was my first time using Rover and I couldn’t be more pleased with my experience! She truly exceeded all of my expectations. She was communicative, kind, and always on time, everything you could hope for in a sitter. As a first time cat mom leaving my cat, I was a little nervous, but she made me feel completely at ease. Her updates were so thorough, and she sent lots of pictures, which was incredibly comforting while I was away. I had zero stress and full trust in her the entire time. I will absolutely be booking her every time I go out of town. She’s the best, 10/10 recommend!

Ana was absolutely wonderful and I can’t recommend her enough!! She was responsible, communicative, and clearly very experienced with cats. My kitty is extremely shy and usually takes a long time to warm up to new people, but she took to Ana surprisingly quickly, which says everything. I came home to a happy, relaxed kitty and could tell she had been very well taken care of. If you're looking for someone smart, trustworthy, and great with animals, Ana is a fantastic choice. I would absolutely book her again.
