“He was amazing! Last minute call for a sitter after my previous sitter had reviews of no showing and did not confirm with me 48 hours prior to needing a sitter for our wedding day! He was easy going, likeable, 100% on task! Wish we lived closer to book him again!”
About: I took impeccable care of my English Mastiff for over 10 years. More recently I have found joy in pet sitting for other people's dogs and cats in their homes. I work remotely and have a lot of scheduling flexibility, especially on weekdays. I'm available to stay in your home with your pet during weekdays. My other work (accounting/finance & admin) is done remotely anywhere I have reliable WiFi. My availability on weekends is very limited. I provide a calm, steady energy and will stay with your pet(s) in your home so they can remain in a familiar environment. I love taking dogs on walks.
“It’s easy to tell that the dogs had another amazing time since have looked for Ginger every day so far (day 3 since we’ve been home). Such peace of mind that we have happy dogs and tidy home after time away.”
“Jordan was great!! He was patient with our neurotic dog and made sure she had a safe space when she was ready to interact. He followed all the petcare procedures for the dog, cat, and chickens. He watered the plants and left the house clean! We loved the pictures he sent us of the critters and the ongoing communication while we were gone. Definitely recommend him and would use him again!”
“Cydney was amazing! Right away on coming in the dog settled right in to being comfortable with her and calming down from there somebody’s at the door alert. She was both attentive to the request and instruction we left and also shared her knowledge about Dogs as well, understanding even different tendencies of different breeds… Which is really helpful since we had one 80 pound rescue who’s ancestors are guard dogs and 8 pound little dog as well. She really gave all of her attention during the weekend to the dogs and their needs. I’m looking forward to having her come again.”
“Excellent communication and photo/video updates, very friendy and easy to work with. I liked that 'Hina was the only dog they boarded; other places I saw had multiple dogs, rotating often, which concerned me. Thanks Amy, we'll be back!”
About: Not only do I have 10 years of experience of pet sitting, I have experience working with shelter dogs. I’ve been with Placer SPCA as a volunteer for many years. I work with fearful, excitable, shy and even reactive dogs on a weekly basis. I make sure to give them the best care I can provide. I have plenty of free time and my shelter schedule is very flexible! I spend most of my time caring for pets or working with animals. I am someone that you can contact last minute for pet sitting! I will make sure that your pet gets all the love, care and attention your best friend could possibly need. I provide mostly overnight care, in which I make sure your pup is cared for in the same way you do every day. Building trust is very important to me, I’ll make sure to send pictures of your dog (or other animals) along with a report of how they are doing and any other info you may need.
“Juno warmed up to Jenna right away. Jenna did a great job taking care of Juno and had no problems with taking her on a walk. Loved the origami she left behind of Juno. So creative! Will rebook her services soon.”
About: I got my first dog when I was six, and growing up he was my best friend. I also had lizards, birds, fish, frogs, hamsters, and cats! Ever since then, I have always been passionate about helping dogs and other animals. I've taken care of many dogs and cats over the years of all sizes and ages, and now I want to make this passion my work. My favorite part about taking care of dogs is walking them. I have a Border Collie and know how to handle hyper and active dogs. I have experience taking care of disabled pets as well- I had a small dog that used a wheel chair for years and lived a happy life. All of my friends and family call me first when in need of a pet sitter because they know I'm capable and that I truly care. Whether you need walking, bathing, feeding, or someone to assist with your special needs pet, I have done it all and would love to help! I am available to walk your dog and take care of your pets any day of the week. So send me a message and I will respond quickly! First, I ask pet owners if there are any requirements or concerns to be aware of when I am entering their home to care for their pet. In addition, I always like to know what treats or activities their pets enjoy. For example, during an appointment, I will often greet pets with their favorite treat, check if they need water, take care of any potty or medical needs, and stimulate them with their favorite activity! Before leaving, I make sure I have performed all required tasks requested by the client.
“Simone had great communication and was amazingly flexible with our timing needs - during a holiday weekend on top of that! Having peace of mind while away was much appreciated. She was respectful and easy going. Would definitely have her back to watch my mischievous pittie anytime!”
“Jillian was great! On short notice she was willing to come meet us and get to know our dog before we booked her for dog sitting at our house. She took our active dog on long daily walks to the park near our house. She shared updates and photos of the fun they had each day. We felt comfortable that our dog was in great hands. When she left the house she left in better than she found it! We would welcome Jillian back again!”
“Paola was great with my husky, Athena. I thought she'd miss me while I was away but Paola had won her heart:) She was really good about sending me pictures during my trip and communicating as needed.”

About: Hi! I’m a dependable and patient pet lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. Whether it’s energetic walks, playtime, or just keeping your pet company, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I have experience caring for cats ., and I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, basic grooming, and giving lots of attention.

I truly enjoy being around animals and will make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.” “I prioritize safety, consistency, and making pets feel comfortable in their environment.

“Sienna did a fantastic job caring for our husky dog. She also did a terrific job watering all our yard plants and she washed the bedding & towels before she left! Highly recommend!”
“Mel was incredible! Her care for our dogs was beyond what we could have hoped - she exceeded in every aspect. Responsive and proactive communication with photos and updates. I would highly recommend her and will absolutely use her again. She treated our girls and home with the utmost respect and was truly a pleasure to work with. You would not be disappointed (rather spoiled) with the care she provides. Thank you Mel! Ravioli, Biscotti love you!!! ❤️”
About: Hello my name is Sergio I know I’m new to this app but not to watching over pets I have been pet sitting and did ranch hand for for 6 years I’m here to provide excellent service and make sure your pet is comfortable while you are on vacation I have an open schedule so I have enough time to tend to your pup.

“Sabrina is a joy to work with to watch our lil dude Nico. Her communication is fantastic and she always went the extra mile to ensure he was well-cared for. We had complete ease of mind being away and knowing that he received lots of love, cuddles and care.”
“Dillon met our dog Spud: Our 7 year old Border Collie Spud has one big personality issue, he will not get close to anyone he doesn't know. Because of his shy nature it makes it difficult to find a pet sitter for him. After reading Dillon's Rover profile it sounded like she might be a good fit to work with and care for our Spud. We booked a meeting and a quiet walk for Spud and Dillon's first short outdoor visit. Gotta say, Dillon had Spud eating out of her hand in no time! She knew not to rush him, and understood that he needed more time to trust someone he didn't know. We have a good feeling that Dillon is going to be Spud's new buddy and caregiver. Thanks Dillon for understanding and wanting to take the time to know Spud.”
Alta Sierra pet parents share their Rover experiences
We had such a great experience with Katelyn as our Rover sitter. She kept us updated the entire time with photos and messages, which made it so much easier to relax while we were away. It was clear our dogs were well cared for and happy. She really went above and beyond. We came home to a house that was actually cleaner than when we left, which was such an unexpected and appreciated touch. Katelyn was also very communicative, organized, and upfront throughout the whole process, which made everything feel smooth and stress-free. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter.
Mel was great starting with communication before her scheduled dog sitting. Our two dogs seem real happy when we got back and doing well. Mel sent photos and videos daily. The most important thing that struck me is how much Mel loved our dogs, so I knew that they were in good hands. I would definitely recommend Mel and we will use her again.
Shannon was AMAZING! My girls are very picky about who they snuggle up with and they loved Shannon. Their grandma popped in to visit and even she pointed out how they were not as amused with grandma this visit and wanted to follow Shannon around instead. I can’t thank Shannon enough for taking such good care of our babies and our house.
We could not have been happier with Hannah staying with our two high-energy Siberian Huskies. Our dogs bonded with Hannah immediately and they were super happy being with her! She gave them lots of exercise and love! She sent us lots of pictures of them having fun with her. We definitely will have Hannah back next time we go away. Thank you Hannah!!! Tom & Cheryl
Dayton is an amazing pet sitter. I have so much gratitude and appreciation for the care Dayton gave our animals. The initial plan was for Dayton to watch our pup Calliope. Our beloved blind indoor kitty, Kip snuck outside 3 weeks prior to our planned vacation. We assumed that he would not survive with the high temperatures, wild animals and lack of food/water. Our first night into our vacation, our neighbors found Kip and dropped him with Dayton. He was not in the best condition, but Dayton cared for him with unconditional love. Calliope our pup isn't a people person, but she quickly felt safe and comfortable in Dayton's care. We were pleasantly surprised that Calliope made a human friend. Dayton is great communicator and keep us informed about the well-being and fun times of our pets. She sent lots of cute photos that made me so happy! I would highly recommend, Dayton and would happily book again.
Ashley seems like a sweet person and the dogs seemed to like her. She stayed in my home with my three dogs for a little over a week. The dogs seemed in good spirits when I got home and she cleaned before she left. She sent updates daily (and had asked how often I wanted updates) which I appreciated. I would only say I would communicate expectations beforehand regarding walking the dogs during stays like this, I'm accustomed to them getting regular walks when a sitter stays with them so I just assumed this would happen. But, this is just something I will clarify in the future and believe she would be honest about what she is and isn't willing to do, so just better communication regarding this. Otherwise was very happy with her and would recommend!
