“Our dogs LOVED Kelli! She was sweet and gentle with our fur babies and won them over right away. She was always on time, followed the schedule and directions perfectly and was a great communicator. She sent plenty of photos and made us feel that our dogs were in good hands. We can’t wait to book her again.”
About: In the past, my dogs have had many health issues which means I had to give them the most attention and care. I have had big and small dogs that require lots of walks, feeding, and medicine. I go to school in Costa Mesa in the morning/day and I have rehearsal for theater at night. This leaves me with lots of time in between and I don’t want to drive home and back in that time because I live a bit far. I usually spend my time walking anyways. When watching over a dog on a walk or in the house, I make sure they are enjoying my company because I am a guest to them. I made sure they are safe at all times and are given attention and unconditional love. I like to stay on the pets normal schedule so that they like me and want to be my friend.
“Jessica took care of my Romey this past weekend while I went on vacation. I can tell my doggie loves her because he lays on his back for some belly rubs as soon as she gets home :)”
About: I grew up with and cared for all kinds of pets, even farm animals! I currently have 3 cats and 2 puppies. I've also cared for pets in clients homes as a caregiver. I'm currently doing school online so I have a lot of free time to hang out with your fur baby and a flexible schedule for consistency. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routines, and needs. Whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddles, or quiet companionship, I adjust my care to what makes your pet happiest. I closely follow all care instructions, including feeding, walks, medications, and any special needs. Communication is key so of course you'll be getting updates and some cute pics of your babies.
“Bethany was amazing! She kept us updated of our pup every day, sending pics & videos. From the moment our dog met her, he loved her, which made me feel super comfortable leaving him with her. Our house was the exact way we found it when we came back. This was our first time using Rover and Bethany made it a great, smooth experience. Would def book her again!”

About: Thoughtful, dependable care and clear communication are at the center of how I approach pet sitting. I’ve always naturally connected with animals and enjoy providing warm, attentive care that helps them feel secure and relaxed while their owners are away. With years of experience caring for dogs and cats through house sitting, drop-in care and overnight stays, I’m very comfortable maintaining pets’ routines and helping them feel settled and comfortable in familiar spaces. I also have experience caring for a variety of animals beyond cats and dogs, including rabbits, fish and reptiles, which has helped me become very attentive, adaptable, and detail-oriented when it comes to animal care. What sets me apart most is my attentiveness, communication and calm presence. I understand how important it is to feel fully comfortable leaving your pets in someone else’s care, so I make it a priority to provide thoughtful updates, photos and dependable care throughout each stay. I’m patient, respectful of your home and strive to care for pets in a way that feels personalized to their needs and personalities. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved and comfortable while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in caring and reliable hands. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine, and I’m able to dedicate focused time and attention to the pets I care for throughout the week. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to accommodate drop-ins, house sitting, feeding schedules, playtime and regular companionship depending on each pet’s needs. I understand how important routine and familiarity can be for animals, so I always try to maintain their normal schedule as closely as possible while providing plenty of attention, patience and companionship. I’m very attentive to details such as feeding instructions, walking routines, medications if needed, household preferences and any behavioral or comfort needs your pet may have. I also make it a priority to keep spaces clean, secure and respectful throughout each stay. Communication is very important to me, so I provide regular updates and photos to help owners feel informed and reassured while they’re away.

“Tyler was an absolute gem when we needed a great cat sitter while we were away for our honeymoon. Tyler sent constant updates (not enough to overwhelm) and was very prompt with answering texts. My cats seem to have loved Tyler and barely noticed us being away for 2 weeks! If you value your cats’ comfort while also being comfortable knowing your cats are safe, give Tyler a try!”
“Angela is amazing! She houses sat and watched my Honey for 3 days while we were out of town. She kept us updated morning and night and sent lots of photos. Thank you Angela for spoiling our baby.”

We had a wonderful first-time experience using Rover, and we feel so lucky to have found Amy. She provided frequent updates and photos of our fur baby—just enough to reassure us that he was doing well and give us peace of mind while we were on vacation. Amy truly went above and beyond. She spent quality time cuddling with him, took him on extra walks, and even kindly took out the trash for us. We will definitely be booking Amy again in the future and highly recommend her to our coworkers and friends!
First time using Rover and I needed someone to house-sit and watch my dog, Rigby, overnight. I had a fantastic experience with Jessica! We did a meet and greet beforehand, which really put me at ease. She had great communication throughout and was so kind in answering all my questions. I’ll definitely be booking with her again—thank you, Jessica!
