I have worked previously with Melissa and I have seen nothing but hard work and dedication. She actively makes sure any pets in any household are taken care of even if they don’t belong to her. Pets have been an influential part of her life and it would not surprise me when Rover hires her. I can say without a doubt Melissa would be a fine and loving pet caregiver. Thank you.

Excellent caregiver. His sincere affection for all creatures is evident. He provided exceptional care for my pet and was incredibly accommodating. The peace of mind knowing my pet was well cared for was priceless. I highly recommend him for any future pet-sitting needs!

Carolyn was great! She loved Oppy, sent pictures of her playing with him daily, and he was happy as could be when I came back! She was also very flexible and understanding with the timing of when to come see Oppy and some confusion due to me having old kitten food still out. I really appreciate her communicativeness and understanding as I guided her to the correct food to use. Would definitely recommend as a cat sitter!

About: I love dogs, I understand how important they are for you so I will take care of them like are they are mine. I am very affectionate and caring myself so I will for sure be careful with your pet. I am also very active and playful hence that makes me the person who will run your dog and keep him happy and playing. I do not have professional experience but i have been around dogs all my life and they have been happy. My neighbors and friends leave their dog with me when they go out on trips and stuff. Apart from all the dog stuff, i go to San Francisco State University for Journalism and Women & Gender Studies. Live in the city with my friends and part time work at the library. I am currently working part-time so I have a lot of availability for the remainder of this year. I am also flexible with arranging my availability. I am able to keep your pets safe during walks and sittings. There are several fenced dog parks in my area and a safe area for them to play in my building.

Alyssa is an amazing pet sitter! I asked her to be in my home for one hour for two days and she was always right on time. I loved all the pictures she took of Casper and sent to me. I was so happy to know that he had someone so nice checking in on him while I was away. Thank you Alyssa!! Will be booking again!

Fernan has always been reliable when caring for my dog Teddy. We ask him to look after him every time we go on vacation, and we always return to our dog in the same happy and healthy shape. We'll always go to Fernan when it comes to walking and caring for our dog.

Paige was absolutely wonderful. She went above and beyond in all ways when taking care of my kitties, giving detailed updates every day with plenty of photos. She adapted to their individual personalities and care styles and did it all with a kind and friendly attitude. They absolutely fell in love with her! Leaving my babies behind for so long for the first time was definitely scary, but I am so happy to say that I could relax knowing Paige was there to take care of them. I will definitely be booking with Paige again next time I need a sitter!

About: I’ve had a dog since i was 10. Taking care of animals is something I am use to doing. Loving them is something i chose. And working for them and helping make sure others are taken care of as well, is something I love to do ! I currently am not working, taking care of my almost 2 year old pitbull. I am constantly playing with him, walking him so adding more dogs to my routine will only make me a better dog mom as well! My backyard is fenced off and as far as the clients homes I will do whatever is necessary to ensure the dogs safety as well as others !

Our rescue pup can be pretty nervous with strangers. Ivan always takes his time with Raspberry and is very kind and understanding. It gives us a lot of peace of mind when we leave her home alone. ❤️

About: Animal lover + artist looking for pups to entertain and care for in her home! I am experienced a dog owner, with a small mutt of my own. She loves having friends over! I have experience with many different breeds and ages, and love them all! I've fostered rescue dogs with medical and behavioral issues, so I am confident in caring for them. I believe in providing personalized care for each dog and encourage owners to let me know any likes, dislikes, and quirks about their pup so we can make them feel at home. We love all animals and respect their need for exercise, diet, mental stimulation and affection. I currently work part-time and go to grad school (on-line) so your dog is never left alone for more than a few hours. *Please note, I believe in positive reinforcement and will not implement negative reinforcement techniques on your dog including prong collars. All pets must be housebroken and vaccinated. **Our overnight boarding rates are for a 24 hour period. If you'd like to pick-up your pup beyond that time frame into extra hours, I charge daycare fee for the extra hours. Please mention the pick-up and drop-off timings in the reservation request and I will gladly work out a Custom Quote for you depending on your needs ***I accept last minute bookings if we have boarded your dog before. We must be able to set up a meet n greet before booking dates. For safety reasons, I appreciate your profile photos being uploaded and profile being complete and thorough before contacting us, as I've had a few fraudulent accounts contact me. :( *****And yes, that is me and Ryan Gosling walking dogs in Brooklyn some years ago. :) Feel free to message me or set up a meet and greet if you have any questions! Make sure to tell us a bit about your pup and his/her needs and what dates you are interested in. Thanks! Rebecca I am currently working part-time from home so I will be available to either take your dog out for a long walk (weather permitting) or let them out for a quick potty break. Making your pet comfortable is most important to me. Being without you can be stressful and it's my job to make sure they are happy and well taken care of, whether that is in your home or mine.

Wendy was an amazing babysitter to our two large dogs while I was away on vacation! During her visits, she followed instructions perfectly, showed my dogs lots of love and care, and was always on time. I appreciated all the photos and updates she provided during each visit, and I could tell she really loved spending time with our dogs. Highly recommend her for all your dog sitting needs!

I reached out to Ariel to play with my cat for 30 minutes so she’s not alone all day. She offered a meet and greet to first introduce herself to my cat days before the actual visit and during the visit she made sure to keep my cat entertained and comfortable. She was also super responsive and respectful of my rules. Very happy with her service!! 😊

Ive known Jenid for a few years and can say I never met a person more passionate and energetic about taking care of pets especially pups. Jenid would prefer hanging out with a group of furry friends over a group of people any day of the week. Pets bring her joy and the connection she builds with each pet is very heart warming. I couldn’t think of a better person that would be a impactful asset to the rover community. If Rover was to pass up on the opportunity of adding Jenid to the team. I can wholeheartedly say that it would be an unfortunate mistake and a disservice to all the pets she could have spread love too.
