“Aolani took great care of our cat, Ralphie, while we were out of town for a weekend and made sure to provide plenty of updates and photos! Our cat loved Aolani's pets, and she left our home in great shape. Would absolutely recommend and book again.”

“Madeline did an incredible job, I believe this is the first time I’ve come back and my big little baby is actually calm which lets me know she did give him the time and care that he needs. So grateful ❤️”

“Michelle did a wonderful job taking care of our senior dog and 2 cats! Would absolutely book again. She is very responsive and sends lots of pics, which was very appreciated.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have owned four of my own, giving me hands-on experience with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and needs. I currently care for two dogs and have been deeply involved in all aspects of their daily routines, including walking, feeding, training, and play. I also have meaningful experience caring for senior dogs, including providing extra patience, comfort, and attention to their changing needs. This has helped me become very attentive, gentle, and responsive to subtle changes in behavior or health. What sets me apart is how much I truly enjoy being around dogs! I love staying active with them, whether that’s long walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m currently in my last year at UCLA, which gives me a flexible schedule to dedicate to pet care throughout the week. I’m available early in the mornings and after 2–3 PM for walks, drop-in visits, and playtime. I’m also available on weekends and select weekdays for house sitting, depending on your needs. I love incorporating dog care into my daily routine, whether that’s starting the morning with a walk or spending afternoons keeping pets active, happy, and engaged. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I make sure to follow any routines or instructions you provide closely so your dog feels secure and at home, even when you’re away. During walks and visits, I stay alert to surroundings, keep dogs on secure leashes, and prioritize safe, calm environments. I’m very mindful of each dog’s personality, whether they’re energetic, shy, or need extra care. In your home, I’m respectful, clean, and committed to maintaining a stress-free environment for your pet. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you always feel connected and reassured.

“Thank you for everything this week! Knowing you are with Cody when we are gone prevents worry and stress. Margaret is always so helpful and on point when we are away and need someone to sit with Cody!”

About: I've had a dog, sometimes two at a time, in my house since I was five. This has given me loads of experience with pets. I am currently working from home and always love an excuse to go outside throughout the day! I would love to have company throughout my day. I have a 450 square foot studio apartment that I live alone in. I am very hands on and engaged when it comes to pets. I enjoy playing with them and cuddling with them while watching tv.
“So happy to have found Greg through friends who booked him on Rover. It was a last minute holiday sit, he stayed at my home with my 2 year old dog who can be a bit rambunctious at times. Greg asked all the right questions - about both my home and my dog - which made me feel like everything was in great hands. He even fixed my janky doorknob when it fell off, and offered to descale my espresso machine which was overdue for a cleaning. And he sent the best updates throughout the day so I knew Enzo was having a great time. It’s the first time I’ve ever booked through Rover to have someone stay in my home, and so glad I did! Would definitely recommend. Dog and house were well taken care of!”

“Elizabeth was amazing. Our little buddy and our home were both in great shape upon our return. She was super flexible and also helped us look out for a package that arrived unexpectedly early. We would def book her again in the future!”

“JeaDa was truly exceptional while caring for my two dogs, Bella and Pepper, for an entire week in my home. From the very beginning, she was warm, professional, and incredibly trustworthy, which immediately put me at ease. Throughout the week, she went above and beyond in every way. She was not only responsible and reliable, but also deeply caring and attentive to my dogs’ individual needs. It was clear that she genuinely loves animals—Bella and Pepper were not just looked after, they were nurtured and cared for with real affection. JeaDa kept me consistently updated with thoughtful check-ins, messages, and photos, which meant so much to me. I never once felt worried or uncertain while I was away because I always knew exactly how they were doing. She created a sense of continuity and comfort for them, and I could tell they felt safe, relaxed, and happy in her care. When I returned home, everything was in perfect condition, and my dogs were calm, content, and clearly very well taken care of. That, to me, says everything. I wholeheartedly and enthusiastically recommend JeaDa to anyone looking for a pet sitter who is not only dependable and responsible, but truly compassionate and invested. She is a rare find, and I would trust her again without hesitation.”

“I don’t have enough good things to say about Sky! My GSD Rylee is always stressed when I leave, and Sky did an amazing job making sure that she was comfortable and happy. She sent pictures and kept me updated throughout her stay. I will definitely be booking with her each time!”

“Our dogs instantly loved Ricardo! He’s extremely friendly and professional. We felt at ease leaving for a few days knowing he was taking care of our two dogs. We got regular updates and the dogs got plenty of exercise. Will use again!”

About: I am the person at the party who is on the ground hanging out with your pet and the kids instead of the adults :) I grew up on 5 acres in Oregon, where we had cats, dogs, goats, llamas, horses, bunnies, birds, lizards, you name it! Since I was 16, I've always had a pet of my own, usually a cat or a dog. I am very attentive and good at following any training wishes and rules you have for your pets. Pet care is built-in to my lifestyle. I work from home, and our dog Rosie keeps me company all day. We go on three walks a day, and when I am done working, she comes over knowing that it's pet & play time for a little while to unwind. On the weekends, we like to get to the dog park that is a 15-minute walk away. We have a one-bedroom apartment that is very pet-friendly. I can make space for a crate if your pet uses one. No yard, but as I mentioned, we take our walks seriously and make sure to get lots of indoor and outdoor playtime. Happy to send photos of how your fur baby is doing, or anything else that helps ensure safety and peace of mind!
“Katy was a wonderful houseguest. She sent us regular updates on our pup and left our home neater than it was before we left. We will absolutely use her again for our next trip.”

About: I have pet sit for friends and families over the years. I have lived in the same house with multiple cats and dogs for the 10 years and frequently cared for them when people were out of town for weeks. I love spending time with precious pets and taking good care of these precious babies. I am currently in graduate school so I have some flexibility throughout my daily and weekly routine as long it is ahead of time! Preferrably early in the morning before the workday or evening works great. I want to get to meet and learn about each pet during the meet and greet. I create cozy and familiar environment for your pets by playing with them, favorite toys and routines. This helps reduce their stress and create comfort right at home.
“We are so glad we met Julie! We previously had a bad experience with another Rover and was hesitant to try again but Julie has completely restored our faith in finding good help for our fur kids! Our kids were in Julie’s care during our honeymoon and we didn’t have to worry our entire trip. We were given updates, photos, and she even stayed vigilant when our dog food almost ran out and offered to go out and purchase food if the delivery didn’t make it in time. She was able to adhere to the schedules and activities discussed. Our house was left in the same condition it was in if not better. Julie exceeded our expectations and we can’t wait to have her back!”

About: I have a corgi myself and I love meeting new pups and love to care for them when I am available. I make sure all pups are well behaved and healthy. My home is very dog friendly and will be treated as one of mine. I can pretty much do anything you need and am a helicopter mom so I totally understand any weird/strange requests (because I do the same haha!) I am always with my dog making sure that he gets the best care! Walks, fetch, and cuddles everyday when he wants too. I make sure every pup I come in contact with is loved and have their needs met. I honestly revolve my whole life around dogs so I welcome this beautiful opportunity! I live in an apartment complex but I do not let any dog outside without a leash. Dogs are allowed on couches and beds for cuddles! It is a very dog friendly environment with water bowls and an area where they can play or just relax.

Saralynn looked after my 3 yo greyhound for a weekend and she was great! My greyhound is quite shy and gets nervous with new people or changes in her routine, and Saralynn was able to make her feel comfortable. She also kept my house clean. Would definitely rebook!

Talia was amazing! My dog is very slow to warm up to new people, but Talia was patient, considerate, and even agreed to a couple meet & greets ahead of time so they could get better acquainted. Talia was also a great communicator, sent regular updates/photos, and left my apartment very tidy & clean. I’ll definitely by booking with Talia again!

Morgane was so great!! She came to stay & watch my pup having never met her, and although Bug can be nervous around strangers, she warmed up to Morgane instantly. Communication was perfect - she sent regular updates and photos which I appreciated. And she took such great care of my home. Everything was left in perfect condition, even after having to clean up a little puke accident. I would welcome back Morgane any time, she was so responsive and sweet, and she took great care of Bug. Thank you Morgane!

Words do not do justice for how grateful I am for Sky & for how glad I am that I found her to watch my dog, London while I was away. With London being a senior, she requires a little extra care with medications etc and Sky was not only communicative my entire time away but gave me peace of mind to be able to enjoy my trip. Absolutely thrilled to have found her and look forward to knowing London will be taken great care of during my future travels. Thank you so much, Sky!!

Jordan did an incredible job house sitting for our two cats while we were away for the weekend. One cat has medical needs and Jordan handled a complex medicine schedule and the (many) doses like a total pro. She also left our house immaculate! I can’t recommend her enough - thank you Jordan!! 😊

Lili is the dog whisperer! She was wonderful to walk, feed, snuggle, and play with my beloved Miss Amethyst Rose, and made sure she was well-tended to and loved! Thank you Lili for the wonderful meet n' greet, and in-home care for Miss Amethyst Rose! We appreciate you!

Couldn’t say enough positive things about our experience booking Elizabeth. She stayed with our dog for a week and we came home to a calm, regulated pup (no small thing given our high energy, routine-oriented girl!) and a super tidy house. We’re SO appreciative and only hope the stars align and we can snag her the next time we’re away! Thank you so much!

We had an incredible experience with JeaDa watching over our home and our cat, Kiki. It’s not easy for me to feel completely at ease leaving, but JeaDa earned my trust almost immediately. They are an exceptional communicator, providing thoughtful updates that kept me informed and reassured throughout the entire stay. When we returned, the house was absolutely immaculate. Most importantly, Kiki was happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable in their presence. We would welcome them back anytime and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and meticulous sitter.

Dusti Lee is one of the best dog sitters a dog mom has ever dreamed of. Ollie was in good hands while I was on the longest trip away from my little guy. He was well cared for, and I received several photos that put many of my worries to rest. So thankful we found this gem. Thank you, Dusti Lee!! From Ollie and Emmaline

My dog has epilepsy and I wanted to find an in home sitter for my dog so he would be more comfortable and less likely to have an episode. Paul did a great job, he followed my care instructions to a t and was a great house guest. He left my place exactly how he found it. I’ll definitely book Paul again!
