“What can I say. I am definitely a nervous dog dad. I don't really trust anyone with Spaceman and it has been hard for me to travel because the thought of leaving him is too depressing to me. Tommy put that all to rest. He's very thorough, asks all the right questions, kept Spaceman in his routine which is crucial for him and gave us TONS of updates and pics. Spaceman seemed at ease the entire time and was happy and playing and doing all his normal stuff. Can't reccomend Tommy enough, I will 100% be booking again.”


“Timothy did an exceptional job watching our dog, Oliver, and staying at our house. He was incredibly communicative throughout the entire process, consistently updating us with messages and sharing photos, which greatly reassured us while we were away. His attention to detail and care in house sitting was evident; we returned to find everything just as we left it, if not better. Most importantly, Timothy made Oliver feel safe and cared for, which is our top priority. His natural rapport with Oliver and his professional approach to house sitting make him an excellent choice for anyone needing a reliable and caring sitter. We highly recommend Timothy for his outstanding service and dedication.”


“Elizabeth was great with my senior dog that needs extra care and someone with patience. She also took great care of my home and went the extra mile moving an extremely heavy package I got delivered. Will definitely ask Elizabeth to dog sit every time I’m out of town.”


“Molly took great care of our two rambunctious dogs. All communication was clear and prompt, we got lots of updates and photos, and both dogs seemed relaxed and well cared for when we got home. We weren’t worried about our pups at all while Molly was with them!”


“My little guy (Wilson) loves Emily!! She went above and beyond with her communication to make sure I knew Wilson was in safe hands. Sent me updates throughout the day. She kept my apartment super clean and neat! I would 100% recommend and book Emily again!”


About: Hi! My name is Ella, I am from NY and moved to LA about a year ago to pursue my MBA from UCLA. I absolutely love dogs and I grew up with many dogs in my life - large black lab mixes when I was young, my childhood family dog was a terrier mix, and now recently my family has had 2 westie mixes. I grew up caring for, walking, and sitting all types of dogs, and am excited to dog sit and walk on Rover as my schedule does not currently allow me to have my own dog (for now!). I am available full time 24/7 until I go back to school on September 25. When i start classes, my classes will be in the afternoons Tuesday through Thursday, and i will be home again in the evenings. My apartment has a long enclosed hallway outside my apartment door, if dogs do escape, they will not be able to get beyond the hallway. In clients homes, i take note of a dogs temperament and always leash them near the door if i expect that they will run out.

“Michelle was great housesitting multiple pets at a time - including a nervous senior dog! She was highly communicative and sent lots of updates and photos throughout the day. She’s def someone I would book again!!!”


About: Hi! Since I wfh, I have plenty of flexibility to walk, housesit, or just check-in on your little buddy! I have worked with everything from young puppies and kittens to senior dogs and cats and anything in between. I love getting to know your pet, and providing peace of mind to pet parents! Plus, I pride myself on good photos of your pet while you’re away! If any of that sounds good to you, send me a message! Hope to hear from you soon :) I work from home M-F which allows for lots of flexibility in my schedule and increased availability in order to look after your pet! Whatever your needs/preferences, we can discuss, i’m pretty flexible! I live in an apartment now, so I’m not looking to house pets at my place, but am happy to do house sitting and check ins!

“Ellyot was an absolute gem! My partner and I felt at ease the minute we met her. Our 2 dogs and 2 cats immediately approached her (despite being shy normally). We hired Ellyot for 5 days. She communicated every day until the minute we got home. She followed all of our excessive instructions and kept our place as neat as we left it. I have used rover before and this is probably the first time I have had such a positive experience. We look forward to our future vacations because we won’t ever have to stress, thank for Ellyot 🥰”


“Kai Li was wonderful! After a long trip and exhausting flight, there was better feeling than coming home to a happy cat and clean house with sheets washed and even put back on the bed. She was so easy to communicate with, very responsive and incredibly kind and gentle with my cat. I’d highly recommend Kai Li as a sitter.”

“Jasmine did such an amazing job watching my Great Pyrenees and cat!! She followed all instructions perfectly and was willing to ask questions to make sure everything was correct for the pets. My Great Pyrenees can get separation anxiety when I leave but Jasmine was such a calming presence for him. She always provided updates with pictures and left my place in excellent condition which was so appreciated! I can’t wait for her to watch my pets again, I know they adore her ❤️”


“Brandy is great! She is very reliable and communicative. I have a large dog who can be a lot to handle around other dogs and she does great with him. Brandy also house sat for me when my dog had a minor injury. She was on top of managing his care and reporting on his progress while I was away--and sent lots of great pictures. To boot, I returned to a very clean house. I highly recommend Brandy!”


“Jay watched our dog for 9 days while we were gone. He gave me regular updates and sent some photos. When we came back, the pup was happy and the house was exactly as we’d left it. Would definitely leave our dog with Jay again!”


“Lol was amazing at caring for our senior dog. She did regular check-ins and asked great questions about our dog. I knew our dog was in good hands. Definitely going to book again.”


“Zack B. took amazing care of my beloved pup, Amethyst, from morning to evening, and I couldn't be more grateful. He treated her like his own, providing all the playtime her puppy heart desired, supported her crate training, kept her on schedule for her naps, and made sure her belly and water dish were always full. Zack went above and beyond by sending me regular updates with videos and photos, giving me total peace of mind and capturing her zoomie and sleepy moments. Thank you Zack B. for sharing your expert care and compassion with Amethyst and I. If you're looking for a special human being ready to give your pet a fast friend and comprehensive care--look no further than Zack B.”



“Megumi did a great job with my cats! She sent regular updates and hung out with them while I was on vacation. We came home to happy cats and a clean box. Thank you so much Megumi!”


About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 11! I'm experienced in all ages, sizes, and demeanors. I love cuddling with my dog on the couch or taking him out on adventures, so I guarantee your pup will be loved, pampered, and happy. I'm a full-time student with lots of free time during the summer. I am devoted to a dog's happiness, so that means a lot of playtime all week! I provide attentive, compassionate care, ensuring pets are fed, exercised, groomed, and loved. I follow specific routines tailored to each pet’s unique needs with a lot of respect for your home.

“Carly was very punctual and patient with KC and Sunshine! They seemed like they enjoyed their time with her. She sent lots of photos and updates – excellent communication, including on a holiday. Thank you so much!”

“Maggie was excellent when she took care of my family’s 2 dogs. Our older dog is a King Charles Spaniel who gets very nervous (around people and other dogs), and we also have a 2 year old yellow Lab with boundless energy.

Westwood pet parents share their Rover experiences
Ximena was absolutely wonderful with our pup, Benjamin! She went above and beyond—not only taking amazing care of him, but also leaving our home as we left it. She kept us updated throughout, and it was clear how much she cared. Benjamin adored her (and definitely tested her smarts a few times 😅). We’d definitely book her again!

Anoushka was amazing with our kitties and home. She took great care of our two cats and kept us updated with photos and messages. She spent time playing with them and we could tell they were extremely comfortable and happy with her. Anoushka is super responsible and caring. I highly recommend her.

Macy was phenomenal!! Communicative (with the best photos and captions 😂), respectful of our apartment and went above and beyond rescheduling things when something came up to be here. She took such good care of our cat, June. When we came home you could tell she was paid attention to, brushed, played with, happy. You are in good hands with Macy! And we will be booking her again.

Paul was a fantastic dogsitter the week he took care of my definitely-a-handful dog Athena. Athena take medication three times a day for epilepsy and requires a muzzle on walks and she therefore comes with a long list of instructions and contingency plans in case of seizures. Paul proved very caring, attentive, and detail-oriented for the entire week, plus Athena was clearly in love with him by the time I came home. Additionally he was always quickly responsive via in-app texts, which included needing to coordinate with my vet to respond to some allergic reactions & skin irritation that week. I would 100% rebook Paul for housesitting or any other services.

Ellyot was great! She took care of our 2 year old bernadoodle and our 19(!) year old kitty for a week. She is super organized, kind, responsive and loving! She sent daily photos of both pets. She also reached out with questions when they arose. She’s completely trustworthy, super neat and our pets loved her right away after the meet and greet. We will definitely use her again and again!

Jordyn watched Giacomo in our home for five days and did an incredible job keeping us updated and letting us know our little man was safe and in good spirits. She was great handling Giacomo's special needs and we would use her again in a heartbeat. Thanks for everything, Jordyn!

Phenomenal animal lover! Shelby was punctual, reliable, caring and very responsible during her weeklong stay with our elderly dog. She was just as happy to be with our little Biscuit as he was to be with her. Shelby is most definitely our first choice moving forward whenever we are in need of short or long-term dog sitting. Highly recommend! Thank you, Shelby! You’re the best!
