We were so pleased with the care our rather old, rather shy cat received from Crispin. And, to my amazement-the kitty area was as clean as I left it. Crispin, both kitty and I thank you!

Alex was so professional and great with my two cats when I needed drop in visits when I left town. My large cat is finicky and needs some special attention and Alex was so helpful and made me feel really comfortable with my first experience with the Rover app. Thank you Alex!!

I can't recommend Ava highly enough as a dog sitter. From the moment I met her, I knew my furry friend was in good hands. Ava exudes warmth and compassion, and she treats every pet as if they were her own. Communication is key when it comes to leaving your beloved pet in someone else's care, and Ava excels in this department. She kept me updated with regular messages and photos, giving me peace of mind knowing that my dog was happy and content. What truly sets Ava apart is her genuine love for animals. She took the time to understand my dog's needs, quirks, and routines, ensuring that Stella (my dog) felt comfortable and at ease during her stay. Whether it was going for long walks, playing fetch in the park, or just curling up on the couch for some cuddle time, Ava made sure that my dog received the attention and care she deserved. Reliability is another hallmark of Ava's service. I never once had to worry about her being late or cancelling last minute. She is incredibly professional and organized, making the entire experience seamless and stress-free.

Natalie is great! I've had her for longer stays at my apartment and shorter check ins for quick trips and always came back to a full food bowl, clean litter box and a very happy cat. She always sends me updates and pictures to let me know how things were going and is quick to let me know of any issues. 10/10 would recommend for sure!

It’s readily apparent within moments of meeting Meagan how much of an animal lover she is. From the smallest (and sassiest) of pups to the big, slobbery dogs, Meagan is great with them all. She is always checking in on my Lily and has been so gentle as Lily came from a very traumatic situation and is slowly learning to trust people again. Meagan’s patience and calm demeanor gives me such peace of mind when I have to leave Lily. And to me, that’s invaluable.

About: Hi there pet parents! My name is ilce, I’m an 805 local raised here by the beach. I currently work part time in the day and in my free time I do photography and go for walks. I was a volunteer at DAWG a local dog shelter, it is my 1st time on rover as a dog sitter so with that being said I am trust worthy, kind and loving so If you need someone to watch your fur baby while you need to head out I am happy to assist. I am currently working part time at a retail environment so I would have some days and afternoons available for pet care, also my schedule is flexible Unfortunately I do not have pets of my own since I live in a very small place so it would be very limited space for a pet

Honey is amazing at caring for pets, especially dogs. She's is very knowledgeable on training techniques and developing good behaviors so that dogs can be the best of companions. Whether it's long walks on leash, free roams at the beach, fetch in the dog park, or just tricks and games at home; Honey always ensures a dog is living it's best life. With our -somewhat challenging - Australian cattle dog she has worked wonders in keeping her obedient, entertained and most importantly tired out!

I had the pleasure of having Krysta pet sit for my cats, and I couldn't have been more impressed with her level of care and dedication. Her genuine love for animals is evident in every interaction she has with them. Not only did she ensure that my cats were well-fed and comfortable, but she also took the time to play with them and give them the affection they needed while I was away. Krysta is incredibly responsible and goes above and beyond to meet the unique needs of each pet she cares for. I felt completely at ease knowing that my furry friends were in such capable hands. Without a doubt, I wholeheartedly recommend Krysta as a pet sitter and dog walker. Anyone who entrusts their beloved pets to her care can rest assured that they will receive the best possible attention and affection.

Brandi was quick to respond, very professional, and easy to work with. She assured me everything was going well with real-time updates of time spent with my dog. She also sent pictures. I like that Brandi is active and gets the dogs out together as a pack and goes hiking or on outings. I appreciate the socialization it allows my dog in a controlled setting, with a knowledgeable pack leader. It's a pleasure to have her care for my dog Ridge.

Ashley is fantastic with pets. She can work with big and small dogs and loves to take them on walks. She keeps them under control and even teaches them to sit before she lets them cross the road. I highly recommend Ashley and would trust her with any of my pets.

Ryan responded quickly to my very very last minute request for drop in visits. Communication was excellent and my puppies were well cared for, calm, and comfortable when I got home. I received updates each night with pictures which helped me feel comfortable despite my nerves about the new situation. I'd recommend Ryan!
