“Jasmine is Amazing! I have a medical cat who required medication nightly. She was able to pill him was so attentive! When we did our meet and greet she asked questions about things I wouldn’t have thought to tell her! She gave me updates often and even brought a toy to play with one of our cats (our dogs eat all the cat toys). I hardly trust anyone with my cat but I felt so comfortable knowing she was there! I cannot recommend her enough!”

“We are very grateful to Cedric for taking care of our little dog when we needed help the most. It was a last-minute emergency, and they were incredibly helpful and understanding. Excellent care and great availability. We truly appreciate it and highly recommend them.”

“Shelby was awesome and I could tell my puppy was having a great time with her. With my night schedule, it was awesome to wake up to updates throughout the day, and to know that she also enjoyed my puppy’s company. Highly recommend!”

“Ally was amazing! Our pup scratched himself a little bit while we were gone so we DoorDashed some things to take care of him and she was SO helpful! She applied the ointment to the wounds and made sure his cone was on and secure so he wouldn’t scratch at them. She was very communicative and made sure we were updated the entire time so we knew our baby was okay! Will definitely be booking her anytime we travel!”

About: I’ve always had a heart for animals and believe they deserve the best. Growing up in a household of 6 animals and 2 veterinarians I know the ins and outs of how to keep your pet safe while also providing them with the best play dates. Countless times I’ve been depended on to watch, feed, and play with my friends, family’s and neighbors pets. I am available anytime during the week as well as full availability on the weekends to take care of your furry friend(s). Can’t wait to meet and take care of your pet’s needs. When I care for a pet I make sure to prioritize safety and comfort. Whether this means making sure they receive the right amount of food, water, or medications, litter boxes and backyards are clean, going on friendly walks, or receiving attention and playtime I think it’s all important and necessary care to ensure a relaxing and anxiety free environment.
“Christina is a gem! She treated my dogs as if they were her own. My husband and I were out of town for the weekend so we had Christina stay at our house to watch our 2 dogs. She sent me daily pictures and videos treated our home with respect. I highly recommend Christina and we will definitely use her again”

About: I’ve trained and cared for many dogs throughout my life, from agility training high energy puppies, to senior canine hospice. I’ve been a volunteer with the ASPCA since December of 2023 and have deployed to their cruelty recovery center in Ohio multiple times as a volunteer kennel technician. I currently work as a veterinary assistant at a small practice in Woodland, Ca I am currently working full time Tuesday-Friday 8am-5:30pm as a veterinary assistant, and Saturdays 8am to noon, so when I’m not at work, I love to spend my time giving your pet(s) the attention and structure that they deserve! I can stay overnight with your pet, or do daily check ins starting at 6 am. Any time I leave your pet unattended I will provide them with a safe form of enrichment to keep them busy.
About: What sets me apart is the level of love, patience, and understanding I bring to every dog I care for. I’ve raised and cared for dogs through all stages of life, from energetic puppies who need gentle training and consistency to senior dogs who deserve extra comfort, patience, and attention. I recently lost my own dog, who was truly the love of my life. While I’m not in a position to welcome another dog of my own right now, caring for other people’s dogs allows me to share that same love, devotion, and attentiveness. I treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and deeply cared for while you’re away. I currently have a full time job, so weekends would work best for me (including long weekends). Or I could also make most evenings work. I provide loving, attentive care tailored to each pet’s routine. In my apartment, dogs enjoy a calm, clean, pet-safe space with plenty of supervision, regular walks, playtime, and rest. I prioritize enrichment and frequent potty breaks to keep dogs happy and comfortable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible: feeding, walks, playtime, and medications if needed so pets feel secure while you’re away.

I have grown up with large and smalls breeds my entire life and have watched my family and friends dogs throughout the years. I work hybrid remote, in office Wed-Thurs & about less than 10 min drive from work. I can be home the other days in the week and on weekends if needed. I live in 800 sq foot apartment and it can be spacious for large dog as well. I'd like to note, I reside on the third floor of my apartment and it is only stairs.

“Wow! Jessica was so amazing! She went above and beyond! Great with my large silly husky and it’s obvious she has experience with dogs and loves them. checked in, sent pictures, and much more. She was honest about how my pup was doing. She’s so responsible and took care of the house really well too. Most importantly she did a great job with my babies and is one of my favorite sitters. I got to enjoy my time away and not worry . I absolutely recommend”

“Katherine did an amazing job with my pup Blue. She was very prompt and incredibly responsive sending updates all throughout the stay. She also went above and beyond by coming back to check in on her when we ran into some unexpected travel delays. Will use again and highly recommend!”

“Andrea did an amazing job with Ollie! Ollie was a little anxious meeting someone new but she was very patient and sweet with her. She’s an excellent dog sitter with a lot of experience. I will definitely be booking with her in the future! 😊”

Westlake pet parents share their Rover experiences
We are very grateful to Cedric for taking care of our little dog when we needed help the most. It was a last-minute emergency, and they were incredibly helpful and understanding. Excellent care and great availability. We truly appreciate it and highly recommend them.

Jasmine is Amazing! I have a medical cat who required medication nightly. She was able to pill him was so attentive! When we did our meet and greet she asked questions about things I wouldn’t have thought to tell her! She gave me updates often and even brought a toy to play with one of our cats (our dogs eat all the cat toys). I hardly trust anyone with my cat but I felt so comfortable knowing she was there! I cannot recommend her enough!

Davis was just amazing with our two boys! He was very accommodating and patient with their specific needs. Our boys were well taken care of and he made sure to follow their routines. He provided updates on a regular basis and it just put our mind at ease while we were on our vacation. I highly recommend him and we hope he will be available to take care of our babies again in the near future!

Shannon was awesome! She gave Erby & Tiger lots of love and attention. She was also great on giving us a daily update with pictures. She spent a lot of time with both of our fur babies. She also watered our plants and took excellent care of our home! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🙌. We’ll be calling Shannon again!

Im so happy to have found someone I can trust with my dogs and my home. Kessyah is very responsive, timely, and has a calming presence that I’m sure dogs of all kinds appreciate. One of my dogs was a little overly animated upon meeting Kessyah, but she took it in stride. I look forward to booking with Kessyah again in the future!
