“Kaitlin did a good job taking care of my senior dog with some medication requirements. She kept us informed and sent several photos a day of the dog. House was in order when we arrived home.”


“Leo was fantastic with our pups. We felt very comfortable with Leo at home while we were away on travel. He was prompt with communication, timely, and very caring by providing us with daily updates and photos. We will definitely be hiring Leo again in the future.”


“Yesenia loved our dogs and did a wonderful job communicating while we were gone and she house sat for us. Multiple pictures a day and lots of dog walks, she really enjoys caring for our fur babies. We recommend using Yesenia if you need an animal/house sitter.”


“Francine was great! She communicated with me every morning and evening just like I requested. My puppy is a handful and she managed him very well! Seems like they had a time together. She also took very good care of my cat. My apartment was very clean when i got home! I would definitely recommend Francine!”


“Kelly did a fabulous job with our fursome 4 (2 dogs and 2 cats) whilst we were on vacation. When we had one dog and a cat it was easier to make arrangements for someone to come by for the cat and to board the dog. Having 4 pets that is not practical. Kelly lived close to our location and had only good reviews so we reached out. She is retired so she is more available than some others other Rover providers. Her prices seemed fair so we contacted her and made arrangements for her to visit. I am I repeat user of Rover's services, but was unaware of that their Associates were available for house sitting, not just animal daycare and Pet Care in their home but in my home. We are so happy with Kelly's work and the job that she's done, we will certainly check and with her when we plan our next vacation. We highly recommend her for her thoroughness and care of our beloved furr friends.”


“Vanessa did a fantastic job taking care of my cat and dog! She was very communicative each day, sending pictures, answering questions, and providing updates. She is a great option for your pet care needs and will be my go to rover going forward! Thanks Vanessa!”


“Fantastic!!! Would definitely book again! Continuous updates while we were away!!!! Took care of the dogs including keeping them hydrated in cool due to the extreme summer heat! Again, would definitely book again!”



“We were worried about finding a sitter for our big Cane Corso and our older pug/Boston mix for our wedding weekend. Claudia had great reviews and took care of larger dogs previously which is why we chose her. She exceeded all of our expectations and sent so many updates it made us so happy. We were able to fully enjoy our wedding with the peace of mind our home and dogs were taken care of. THANK YOU CLAUDIA! Will be booking with her over and over again as long as she will have us. 🤍🤍🤍🤍”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my life! I learned how to bathe, treat and clean dogs at a young age and grew to love dogs. I’ve taken care of puppies and senior dogs, very well-experienced! I’m currently a student and am on summer break! I provide walks any time during any day! I am always happy to help! I am willing to flexible and will always communicate. I have a spacious backyard with grass and shaded areas, as well as many dogs toys. My backyard is fully fenced and safe. I will keep an eye on your pet at all times!

“Monica is amazing! From the first meet and greet we had with myself and my dog, I could tell immediately she is kind, attentive and reliable. I got regular updates and photos during her stay with my dog, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I returned to a happy, relaxed, and well cared for pup. She is truly gifted with animals and it shows!! Thank you Monica! Highly recommend reaching out to her :)”


“Alex was awesome! Being gone for a few days from my babies was so hard for us but She would update me on how our babies were doing by sending photos. All around I would definitely recommend her and will use her again in the future!”


“Skylar was above and beyond with her care for Niko! She took the time to walk around the block during our meet and greet to learn his route. She was also very loving; you can tell she is a dog person and puts extra effort into connecting with Niko. She was also accommodating to my requests, I was traveling in Mexico and had spotty data coverage, so she texted me instead. She sent pictures every day and let me know how things were going. When I came home, Niko seemed relaxed and happy, and my house was clean. Overall, Skylar was incredible, and I'll be booking with here again. Thank you!”


“I highly recommend Enrique as a dog and house sitter! He was incredibly attentive to my dogs, making sure they were well-cared for, walked, and happy while I was away. He kept my house spotless, which was a great bonus. Enrique also communicated frequently, sending me regular updates and photos of my dogs so I could see how well they were doing. It was clear that he genuinely cared about them, and it gave me peace of mind to know they were in such great hands. I’d absolutely trust him again for any future dog sitting needs!”


“Joanne was very good w my two teacup yorkie’s! We communicated well while we were out. We r on vacation from Texas and so Joanne was super helpful to us so we can take a day to go to the San Diego zoo where pets not allowed. I will definitely recommend her.”


“Our animals were so relaxed and content while Vanessa was here. She was so flexible with our requests and needs. Vanessa also sent us daily pictures and updates which was so appreciated!”


About: I have knowledge in pet care, dog behavior & dog nutrition. I have 6 year experience working with different dog and cat breeds of different age & sizes in a pet kennel, managed a dog camp and also have some experience in dog bathing. I also have experience in caring for other animal breeds ; hamsters, rabbits & some reptiles. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to get to know and spend lots of fun time with your pets and would love to spend my free time together ! I have a friendly cavapoo that can keep your pet company & a “doggy room” in my home that is a converted closet 2 x6 foot secured area that includes a doggy bed. I do also have a toddler in the home so pet must be friendly with children.

“Caroline was very sweet and attentive with my kitten, Strider! She was communicative and sent me lots of photos throughout the week. This was the first time I was leaving him and I was, of course, nervous, but when I got back he was happy, healthy, and relaxed. Thanks, Caroline! :)”


About: I grew up in a house where we always had pets. I have 10+ years of experience caring for animals starting with my own 2 pups I have helped raise since I was 10! One of which lived to be 15 years old. I have experience caring for senior cats, large breed dogs, puppies, a bunny, and even some chickens! Whether it’s going for a walk or just keeping your pet company, I treat any pet like family. Big or small, young or senior. I hope you can consider helping me get started on the Rover app! I’m currently volunteering in a research lab as I prepare for graduate school, which gives me a flexible weekly schedule. This allows me to dedicate focused, reliable care to the pets I work with. I’m happy to adjust my availability week to week to best support you and your pet’s needs! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will always follow your instructions carefully to keep your pet safe and calm, you know them best! I am committed to building trust through clear communication and dependable care.

“Alexis did a great job watching my dogs at my home. I did get a little worried the first night as she wasn’t going to stay over with the dogs because something at home came up but we were able to quickly resolve it and she was able to stay committed to the full 3 nights I booked. I let her know my dog gets food aggressive at time and left instructions. She managed this well. My puppy displayed puppy habits like humping his bed as he is soon going to be neutered. She managed the indoor peeing situation as the puppy is still having potty training issues inside by laying down pee pads. My main concern was them being loved and cared for and Alexis did that well!”
