“Kayla was AMAZING. We reached out looking for a sitter last minute and she said "how could I not!". So friendly and happy and when we met in person you could just tell how truly kind and loving she is to pets. Will absolutely reach out again in the future!”
“Kylie was so sweet, she took such good care of my girl and even took her out for a pup cup because she was seeming down. Very attentive sitter I would definitely have her sit gf again!!”
“We are so fortunate to have found Kathleen! She cares for our home, two pups, and one guinea pig while we were on vacation for a week. We returned to a clean home and happy pets! Kathleen was great at keeping us updated. We were able to have peace of mind on vacation. We recommend her highly.”
“Bethany took great care of our boys while we were out of town. She sent updates and pictures multiple times throughout her time dog/house sitting for us. We will def have her watch them again for our future vacations. Highly recommended to take care of your fur babies.”
“Lux was an incredible sitter for our three babies. He was very communicative the entire time we were away, which was huge for me, and exceeded all other expectations as well. I can’t recommend him enough!”
“Marissa agreed to watch our 4 animals just days before New Year’s Eve, which included staying at our home on NYE. She still made time to come meet our pets and review info prior to her stay. Marissa was also great about keeping me updated and sending pics of my fur babies, which helped tremendously! We are so grateful! Will definitely use her services again in the future if we have additional needs.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the amazing care Celeste provided for Jack, Tekken, and Princess Buttercup! She went above and beyond in every way. Throughout the weekend, she kept us updated with photos and messages, giving us complete peace of mind while we were away. Celeste was professional, attentive, and clearly treated our pets as if they were her own. Jack, Tekken, and Princess Buttercup absolutely loved her, and we could tell they were comfortable and well loved the entire time. We highly recommend Celeste to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and top-notch pet sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“I had Abigail come to my house to sit my 3 dogs while i was on vacation. She did great with my babies and took time to make them feel more comfortable with her. She even met with me beforehand to meet the dogs which put me more at ease with using her. Abigal is trustworthy and she was respectful of my belongings. She also brought in my packages and took up my garbage cans which was a huge help. I'll definitely use her services again in the future.”
About: My dog‑care experience was shaped on the farm by two completely different but equally unforgettable dogs — Brandy and Sandy. Brandy was the hyper one, always ready to sprint, explore, or break off the leash the moment she saw an opening. Managing her taught me how to handle high‑energy dogs with patience, structure, and safe freedom when the moment was right. Sandy was the opposite — the quiet, protective free‑roam dog who walked beside me while I fed the animals, checked the fences, or just needed silence in nature. She taught me how to build trust without words, how to read calm body language, and how to create a steady presence that makes dogs feel secure. Together, they gave me a balanced understanding of dog behavior — from managing excitement to honoring stillness — and that mix guides the way I care for every dog today. Pet care fits naturally into my life because my routine is already built around consistency, early mornings, and being fully present. I work an 8:30–5pm job, but being hybrid gives me two days each week where I’m home and able to give animals steady attention throughout the day. I’m up at 4am for the gym, so I’m always awake early enough for morning feedings, walks, or check‑ins before most people even start their day. I’m flexible with my time and willing to adjust my sleep schedule, workouts, or daily activities around an animal’s needs — whether that means medication windows, outdoor time, or simply giving them company. Caring for animals isn’t something I squeeze in; it’s something I build my day around with intention and reliability. When I’m caring for a pet in their space, I keep everything consistent with the routines they already know: feeding times, walk schedules, medication windows, playtime, and comfort habits. I treat their home with respect, keep their environment clean, and make sure they feel secure even while their family is away. I’m flexible with timing and fully willing to adjust my sleep schedule, workouts, or daily plans around what each animal needs — whether that’s late‑night reassurance, early‑morning energy, or extra companionship throughout the day. For me, pet care isn’t something I squeeze in. It’s something I build my day around with intention, reliability, and real heart.
“Levi was great! My dog, Bella seemed to warm up to him immediately during our meet and greet which helped ease my anxiety as I was leaving the country for 10 days! He was great with communication and I will definitely use Levi again!”
About: I have had the privilege of owning two weimeriners. For 12 and 13 years each. I know how to train and care for a puppy and how to medicate and care for a senior dog. I've raised cats since I was a child. My family breed Siamese kittens. So I'm very familiar with cats from birth onwards. More recently I rescued two feral kittens and they have joined my family. I can do medications for all animals and extra care your pets may need. I understand all pets are unique and have their own quirks. I am currently working a flexible part time job. I therefore have plenty of time and love to devote to your fur baby! This allows me to spoil your pet with my time. I am aware that your home is your pet's personal safe space. I have the utmost respect for them and making sure they are comfortable.
About: I have experience working with both adult and young dogs - including training, walking, and sitting - from living with a roommate with multiple dogs. I have also helped walk and train other friends' dogs and am exited to take this experience into a profession! I am working towards getting a dog of my own. I currently do have a Full time job but I am just doing this part time as profession to build my clientle book and also to enjoy meeting new pets and pups to help grow as well. I am available usually in the mornings and weekends after 3PM. Since I am a renter I currently do not have a backyard at least yet but what I can provide for my clients is security and reassurance that your dog is in good hands. Also, I do not use negative reinforcement. I always use positive reinforcement.
About: I have loved animals for my entire life— pet therapy is a real thing! Recently I started house and pet sitting and found I loved it because I got to get to know new animals. 💕 I would love the opportunity to get to know yours! I am currently in grad school asynchronously, so it will be no trouble at all for me to come over as often as you need me to! I am also happy to water your plants when you’re gone at no additional cost as well. 😎 I make it a point to know my clients’ animal(s) very well. I am well aware that each animal, whether it is a geriatric cat like my own or a young energetic puppy, has a unique personality and I always accommodate that in my care routine for them. Spending the time with them that they would get with you is key, as well as making sure they get plenty of enrichment. 🐾
About: i have taken care of some sort of animal since i can remember. My first best friend was Danger, a beautiful Pit Bull i potty and command trained at 5 years old. Since Danger i have raised a variety of dogs (big and small), cats (various breeds), my birds (Vickie and Victoria), one turtle, several fish, etc. My longest lived relative was Chewie (small dog) who recently passed away nearly making it to 20 years old! I am in the process of learning food and natural remedies that can extend the lives of dogs and cats as i truly love animals more than most people. Even having a few terrifying memories with animals, i still hold true to the fact no animal is ever evil or wicked, like some humans. If an animal is mean, it has a reason to be such a way, and all it needs to heal and become clean is a little Jesus love to let the small critter know, “You are appreciated.” This mantra and mindset has taken me very far in life, and enables me to be your Pet’s Next Best Friend! Don’t worry, Dogs are happy! Pets are my passion! i ensure you we provide everything your pet needs under one woof! Who is we? Me myself & i, i like big mutts and i cannot lie, but i love the pitter patter of tiny paws too! i know, i know.. “you had me at woof” but i cannot stress enough how pets are my passion. I am the top dog walker & caretaker, and i assure you we will fetch amazing results! Book with us! I double dog dare you! i currently work at a suit shop (Men’s Wearhouse near the Kenwood Mall) selling suits! I am in a transition period of trying to get my first solo dental practice up and running! Those are the two “jobs” which consume my time, but truly i tell you i consider neither real work as i love both as a passion. When i am not doing either of those things i am typically found deep in the Word of God, with my family, or out and about in nature or at a dog park. I have a very wide schedule as i prioritize every second of each day to maximize my time. You ever meet someone and think, “how do you do all that in a single day? Do you have more than 24hrs to work with?” If you have never met someone like this.. hello! Nice to meet you! I am happy to be the first! 🙃 I have the same approach well similar is a better word. My approach for pets in my home is simple. Treat pets as any other honored or distinguished guest. I keep a variety of snacks and treats at home, such as peanut butter, and a variety of other treats like 360 pet care freeze dried snacks, i have a few toys that seem to be popular among cats and dogs, a case of laser pointers, in case one stops working.. hate to be caught without one when the cats especially are having a good time! I try to stay as prepared as possible for any circumstance that may arise. At my clients home i do the same, and i pack a travel bag similar to the one i bring to the dog park when i frequent there. The prime difference between at home and at a clients home is i practice pet care with added, greater attention to detail. Jesus said love your neighbor as yourself, but i tell you (myself) love your neighbor greater than yourself, better than yourself, and you will do well! So with that in mind i try to always think of ways to do more, do better, and be better whenever someone graciously invites me to their home, and whatever i devise i later apply it to myself, so my overall abilities may rise, then i rinse and repeat!
“Jozy was amazing! She was able to check on my dog three times a day while we were gone over the weekend. She was attentive to my dogs needs and made sure to give her enrichment and the attention she needed.”
“Katie did a great job with our German Shepherd! It's hard to find a good, trustworthy sitter so it was nice to be able to enjoy our trip and not worry about what was going on back at home knowing Katie was there!”
“There is no one we trust more than Taylor on this app. The most recent time we used her services, our dog Churro unfortunately got sick right before he saw Taylor. She went above and beyond to make sure he is well taken care of during his sickness. He required more supervised care than normal and Taylor was there to help him get better, even though it meant she barely got any sleep a couple of nights. By the time we were able to return from our trip, he was already feeling better. Taylor put my dogs needs above hers and we are extremely grateful for her. Amazing as always and truly going above and beyond what was required.”
“I would highly recommend Andrea. Andrea is an amazing pet sitter. She’s a great communicator, and she’s never given us reason to worry about her arriving on time or leaving early. Andrea has stayed in our home several days now and leaves little to no trace that she was there. Our animals love her and she follows all my notes, so they get the best care when I’m away. Because of Andrea, I can take guilt- and worry-free trips.”
“Wow! Thanks Allison for a great stay! When our original rover sitter cancelled at the last minute, Allison stepped in and stepped up, providing excellent care of Fiona and our home. We find Allison, reliable, trustworthy, and professional - she bonded with Fiona immediately - it is obvious she loves dogs. Allison sent pictures and updates daily. Highly recommend - will definitely use Allison again!”
About: I raised 2 litters of puppies from birth to 8 weeks with my family, I fostered for 2 years, I helped care for elderly and diabetic dogs I wake up early and work part time so I am flexible and able to accommodate to what needs your pet may or may not have! I will treat your home and dog as my own, I am comfortable administering medication and adhering to any specific needs and or quirky dog routines
Westwood pet parents share their Rover experiences
Emily is lovely and took great care of our dog Scout! She kept Scout so comfortable and gave her lots of love while we were away. She took the time to send us pictures and updates throughout our trip too! We came home to a very neat home and a very happy pup. We feel lucky to have found such a caring and dependable pet sitter and wouldn’t hesitate to ask her to house sit again the next time we go on a trip. Thanks Emily!
Melissa was a fantastic sitter. It truly felt like she was caring for our cats exactly how we would, if not better! She was very communicative and we appreciated all the pictures she would send of the activities they got up to during each day. She helped us feel at ease being away from our cats, and we would highly recommend her to anyone that needs pet sitting.
Caroline is truly one of a kind. She watched my two cats again after a couple years, and they immediately remembered her — which says everything. She just gets them. Her updates were hilarious and detailed (like full-on storytime from the cats’ point of view) and honestly made my whole trip better. It’s so rare to find someone who treats your pets like their own, but that’s exactly what she does. She gave them the same love, attention, and cuddles I would — probably more. I never had to worry once. I came home to happy cats, a spotless house, clean sheets, and the feeling that my cats had just had the best little staycation ever. She’s thoughtful, dependable, funny, and just genuinely wonderful to work with. If you’re lucky enough to book her — do it. My cats (and I) absolutely adore her.
Chloe did a great job watching our two dogs and cat. We left her specific details about our dogs and she was also able to give them their medication every day without trouble. She made sure to keep their schedules consistent.,She also sent pics of them playing in yard . I would highly recommend her to anyone if they need a dog sitter. Becky and John. Martin
Brad was so easy to work with from the beginning to the end. He remembered details from our Meet & Greet six weeks ahead of time. Our dogs were at ease with him from the first time they met which was comforting since we never had a house sitter service for them before. He communicated with us daily and shared pics of them too. He also left no trace that he stayed in our house for five days! It was clean and orderly when we returned which is a wonderful perk after being away. I will definitely request and recommend him for future stays.
