1. Elaine L.


“Elaine has watched our various furry family members numerous times now and she ALWAYS goes above and beyond! ❤❤❤ I always feel better being out of town knowing that she is taking care of them.”


2. Victoria G.
“Victoria is one of the most patient and responsible pet care workers I know. My 3 year old mini dachshund has always been very timid and anxious around new people but adores Victoria. She started watching her for the first time when she was around 3-4 months old and gets so excited whenever she sees her now. Victoria is hardworking, kind, and considerate— she is one of the few people I would trust to watch my pet if I ever needed someone to care for her.”


3. Afarin "Fran" M.
“Fran took care of your Cavashon multiple times when we were on long vacation. She took care of dog like her own. She is very responsive and sent us frequent updates”


4. Dominique P.
“If you're looking for someone to love and take care of your pet like you do then Dominique is the person you're looking for. I've used Dominique to walk and pet sit my dog on many occasions and have never been disappointed. I know that she has pets of her own that she loves so taking care of animals comes natural to her. I can rest at ease while I'm away knowing that Dominique is taking care of my dog.”


5. Violetta R.

“Violetta was great with my babies, took extra care with my 15.5 yr old which was my biggest concern because of her medication. Photos to show you daily how they were which I appreciate it. I will book again if I need to go anywhere, was very happy with the service and care she provided.”


6. Cayden O.
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs in past neighborhoods. Personally, I have always been a pet person and I will gladly petsit any animal with utmost care. I am willing to take a several hours of my week to take care of animals in need. Mostly on weekends but evening weekdays could be possible. Currently, I have one dog in my household, a Chihuahua-terrier mix, whom I supervise, feed and provide with water, exercise, and have fun playing ball. Occasionally, I give baths when needed and cuddles when wanted.


7. Luis O.
“As long as I've known Luis he has always had an open heart for animals. He never fails to make a pet happy and comfortable during their stay.”


8. Sarah L.
About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs and have cared for all sorts of animals including birds and lizards. I can play with the animals, give them the love and attention they need, feed them, walk them and even bathe them as needed. Whatever your fur babies need, I can do! I take care of animals full time so I have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies! I need Sunday mornings off for church but besides that I am pretty flexible with my schedule. I come to you to make sure your fur babies are comfortable in their home environment. I make sure to take care of the home and clean up as necessary.


9. Katelyn Y.
“Katelyn has dog-sit for me many times in the last couple of years. I can see that she treats them like her own and spoils them to bits. I’m very appreciative to have someone like that to care for my pups. I’ve also seen her all-consuming love for her kitties and it’s heart-warming. She is incredibly responsible and caring with pets and I would recommend her strongly to anyone.”


10. Pearl S.

“I recently had the pleasure of hiring Pearl to take care of my cat Maia while I was away, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment we met, I could tell that she was a true animal lover. Her professionalism and genuine care for my fur baby were evident throughout her entire stay. One of the standout aspects of Pearl’s service was her proactive communication. During my first booking, she sent me daily updates and photos of my cat, which was incredibly reassuring. It was wonderful to see my shy cat starting to warm up to her, a testament to Pearl’s gentle and patient approach. During this most recent booking, Pearl helped coordinate with my house sitter to make sure Maia was fed and well loved when I was away. Normally, Maia is very reserved around new people, but she seemed comfortable and even happy in the photos I received. Moreover, Pearl was very respectful of my home. She left everything in perfect condition, just as I had left it. It's clear that she takes her responsibilities seriously and goes above and beyond to ensure both pets and owners are satisfied. I highly recommend Pearl to anyone in need of a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter. Her dedication and love for animals shine through in her work, and I will definitely be booking her services again in the future. Thank you, Pearl, for taking such wonderful care of Miss Maia!”


11. Trina H.


“This was my very 1st booking with Rover and I was a nervous. I scrolled through many options and went with my gut feeling and booked Trina. I’m so glad that I did! Trina is very friendly, organized, and asked questions (and was punctual which is very important to me). She followed ALL of my instructions and kept me updated which made me feel even more at ease. My pup, Summer was initially reserved (as to be expected), but she warmed up to her rather quickly. I appreciate Trina being patient and kind with her. I will definitely book Trina again!”

About: 🌟 What Sets Me Apart as a Rover Sitter 🌟 Since the age of 7, I’ve had the joy of caring for dogs of every kind, and I can honestly say I’ve never spent a moment of my life without a furry best friend by my side. My parents recognized my gentle and caring nature early on and encouraged me to embrace the responsibility of pet care. With years of experience under my belt, I understand the unique needs and personalities of different breeds. My lifelong passion for animals means that each pet I sit for receives not just care, but love and attention as if they were my own. I pride myself on creating a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment where pets can thrive. Whether it’s through playtime, walks, or simply cuddling on the couch, I ensure that every pet feels comfortable and cherished. I look forward to providing your furry family member with the same love and dedication that has shaped my life. Let’s ensure your pet has a wonderful time while you’re away! Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine, thanks to my flexible work-from-home schedule as the owner of my own financial service business. This allows me ample time to dedicate to your special family member, ensuring they receive the attention and care they deserve. My Fiancé and I have developed a well-structured routine for caring for our own fur baby, which includes regular walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. We both understand the importance of maintaining a consistent schedule, and we’re excited to extend that same level of care and commitment to your pet. With my experience and love for animals, you can rest assured that your furry friend will be in great hands while they enjoy their time with us. When it comes to caring for pets, I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable environment tailored to their needs, whether in my home or your own. In my home, I have a private patio layered with turf and privacy screening, providing a secure space for pets to enjoy the outdoors. I typically allow my own dog to roam freely around the house or outside, depending on his mood, which fosters a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere for visiting pets. Additionally, my complex features a dog park right outside my door, making it easy to take your furry friend for playtime and socialization. For those dogs that require more space and longer walks, Regional Park is just a short distance away. This gives us the opportunity to explore nature and enjoy extended outdoor adventures. I strive to ensure that every pet feels at home, whether they’re lounging on the couch or playing outside, and I’m dedicated to providing lots of love and attention throughout their stay!
