“Darwin was incredible! He did a series of drop in visits while I was away on vacation. He was very accommodating with my schedule and provided great updates /photos. I would definitely ask him to be a sitter again! Thank you!!”

“So glad that I was able to have Faith drop in to visit my three cats! She was communicative and was very caring to my fur babies. One of my cats is very shy and it was very happy to see that Faith was able to interact with her. I was expecting her to hide the entire time! I will definitely be rebooking faith again in the future ☺️”

“Andrew was extremely communicative, very attentive to our cat Niles’ needs, he took a lot of pictures of our kitty to reassure us, and went above and beyond taking care of our cat. Book him!”

“Alex took excellent care of our cat Misiu while we were away! We loved the sweet photos and updates he sent. It was clear Misiu loved his visits! Really appreciated his reliability and great communication:)”

“Regina did an outstanding job caring for my cats, and I'd recommend her wholeheartedly. She always responded quickly to any messages I sent, and I could tell that my cats trusted her. Highly recommended!”

“Scott was a fantastic sitter for my cat, especially since it was a last-minute booking. Communicative, accommodating, and made sure Nova was happy and healthy the whole week!”

“Juliana was great! I was nervous about leaving my 5-month old kitten, but she and my other cat were happy and healthy when I returned. Juliana was also very accommodating with getting my apartment key back when my return time was delayed, which was appreciated. I would absolutely rebook. Thank you!”

“James was amazing and provided cute photo updates as well as additional info during his stay. This was our first time user Rover and we’re so glad we did!! Our pup had a blast with James💛”

“Megan was amazing! Clear and prompt communication. I came home to a very happy, well-exercised pup who had clearly had some great breaks with her during the day.”

“Ryan always takes the best care of our cat when we are out of town. She is very high energy and Ryan's visits are always full of play and treats so we know she will be happy while we're gone. Thanks, Ryan!”

“So thankful I chose Reyhan to take care of my cats as they did an exceptional job with them. One of my cats is diabetic and has Cushings and the other is pretty frightened by people; and both were taken care of so well! Will definitely be trusting my cats with them again. Plus so thankful to find someone who still masks as that matters to me too.”

“Jessica was fabulous! I can't say enough about how prompt, communicative, and accommodating she was with our cat. She went above and beyond to ensure everything was just right, and her updates gave us such peace of mind while we were away. I’m incredibly thankful for her care and will absolutely be using her again without hesitation!”

About: Great at training puppies! Love dogs of all ages and sizes. I have some experience with exotic animals as well. I do not have experience giving shots but willing to learn. I work remotely so can be at your house anytime of the week. Currently my apartment does not allow animals so I do not offer sitting at my place. I will make sure to love on, clean up after, walk, feed your pets. Anything you need! I love taking photos of all the cuties I watch and will make sure you send you some so you dont miss them too much!
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and caring for them has always been a natural part of my world. I truly love the companionship, loyalty, and joy that dogs bring. While I’m not quite ready to have a dog of my own yet, I really miss having one around — which is why I love helping care for other people’s pets. It’s meaningful to be able to give dogs the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. I’m comfortable with different personalities and needs, and every dog I look after is treated like they’re my own. I currently work during the day (from home) but I have a pretty flexible schedule. I am available after 10 AM on the weekdays and I have weekend availability as well. I care for every pet as if they were my own, with a big focus on safety, trust, and keeping their routine consistent. Whether I’m in my home or a client’s home, I take the time to understand each dog’s needs, habits, and any special instructions so they feel comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow their pet’s normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. I make sure doors and gates are always secure, keep leashes and harnesses properly fitted, and never let dogs off-leash unless it’s in a fully fenced, approved area. I also keep food, trash, and anything potentially harmful well out of reach. I prioritize calm, positive interactions and use gentle, consistent handling to build trust. I keep owners updated with messages and photos so they always know how their pet is doing. My goal is for every dog to feel safe, cared for, and relaxed while their family is away.
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of pets since I was a child. House sitting, boarding, walking, check-ins for many over the years. Love all animals! Caring, responsible, active, open to helping with whatever your pet needs. My angel boy Blaze passed end of May - looking to get out walking more. Would love to walk your dog or check-in on your cat! Work Tues-Fri. Most availability Sat-Mon, but open some evenings Tues-Fri. Trustworthy. Really missing dog walks - looking to get myself and your pup out for some steps and fresh air! Have a senior cat - available for cat check-ins - love and pets, food/water, litter box cleaning
“Allison did a wonderful job taking care of our cat Hattie during our holiday vacation. Hattie was comfortable around her right away, and Allison provided plenty of details and pictures after the daily drop-in visits. We were able to relax more on our trip knowing that Hattie was relaxed and well cared for.”

“Nicole took excellent care of my cat, kept me updated every step of the way, and really went above and beyond in looking after him. She is clearly incredibly passionate about your pets and shows that she cares about their health and well-being.”

“Such a great sitter! We knew our cats were in excellent hands and it was so fun to get photos and hilarious report cards from Shawnnie every day. Will definitely be rebooking! :)”

Whittier pet parents share their Rover experiences
I had Rachel watch my cat while I was gone for 2 weeks and she did great. I could tell that she did everything she could do to take care of my cat. She sent me updates and photos after every session. She even brought in some packages for me. I was very happy with her work.

Laura is absolutely amazing! She took care of our 2 cats while we were overseas for our wedding and honeymoon. She will be our go to going forward whenever we need someone to watch our fur babies. Her attention to details, care for animals, and lovely personality cannot be beat. I highly recommend Laura to watch anyone’s pets!

Emilie saved me when a friend cancelled at the last minute. Thank goodness they recommended Rover and once I got into the app I found Emilie. My cat, Pumpkin, and I were so very lucky she accepted us as clients. My cat enjoyed the daily visits and cuddles with Emilie and I enjoyed peace of mind each day when she sent me videos, updates, and photos of my girl. We will be forever grateful to Emilie and look forward to booking her again.

Phenomenal care from Michayla. I had to last minute book because a previous sitter canceled. Michayla was able to jump in with less than a day’s notice and went above and beyond with taking care of my boys. She was proactive in problem solving when noticing small but important things like one of my cats not eating enough of their dry food and recommending adding some wet food while she was there. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a high quality sitter that will truly care for your fur babies.

Savannah was a godsend. She helped with daily visits for my two cats for two weeks while I was out of the country. She sent update notes and pictures every day, confirming the tasks but also funny happenings or extra clean up she did. I couldn't have asked for better support. Thank you Savannah!!
