Lupita watched our three senior dogs while we were on an extended trip. She sent us lots of photos and took our dogs on walks and trips to the beach. She did a great job of giving one of our dogs his medications and paid close attention to his food allergies. I truly felt our dogs were well taken care of while we were gone and they were happy and healthy when we returned. It's such a relief to be able to trust that your pets are in good hands with Lupita.

River is a great communicator, checks in regularly, and took great care with our home. Our pup was calm and tuckered out - signs that Emi had been on a long walk and had sufficient snuggles. We’ll gladly have River back the next time we need pet care!

Dylan was awesome! Very communicative, caring and conscientious. We left Dylan with an old, sickly kitty, with multiple meds and they handled all her needs reliably, along with the 3 other furry pets and a fishtank. When we arrived home, everyone was relaxed and unstressed. We have already rebooked!

I HATE leaving my dogs and rarely leave town becuase of this. The first time I met Denise, she told me about her pug and how much she missed her. She had an easy manner and I knew would be a great fit for Daisey and Luna. During my weeks away from my babies - I received updates and pictures. She made me feel like it was ok to leave and I was relaxed as I knew that they were in good hands. I will absolutely book Denise again to hang out with my puggies!

Viviana was an amazing house/pup sitter! She updated us every day with photos and videos, and made sure our pup was spoiled and well taken care of while we were gone for 10 days. She's very communicative and responsible, and left the house clean/tidy. I would highly recommend booking her for house/pup sitting!

We are so happy to find AnnMarie! Yes, we will be calling her again. Ann Marie is perfect for our 90# lab as she is kind, attentive, fun & loving. We knew we left our dog in responsible hands and that she would take really good care of him! They had a great time together and she did not mind that our dog loves to cuddle. She sent us photos and kept our boy happy & busy. We were very fortunate to find her! Thank you so much AnnMarie!

Emilie, did a great job of caring for my two little dogs. One of my dogs is old and has a health condition which requires medications. She was very good with providing the medications as prescribed. She stayed the nights in my home and she left my place clean and orderly. I would use her services in the future.

About: I have been pet sitting for the past 3 years using Trusted House sitters. But grew up with dogs, have lived with cats the last 10 years and love being around all types of animals! I have watched a variety of pet with a range of needs. I love learning about the unique personality each animal has! I work a completely remote job as designers from 7 am - 3 pm PST. During these times, I have sporadic meetings, but nothing that would take me away from watching your animal for over nights. I am a flexible and great at adapting to different schedules and routines. I am an active person so am able to go for walks, hikes or runs based on your dogs needs. I am a naturally tidy person and I will leave your home exactly in the state as when you left. I am available to watch any type of pet in your home! I only can accept dogs in my home. I live on farm with a fenced in yard but outside of that there’s a lot of space to roam. I live with 3 other roommates who are also animal lovers. We live with a cat but he is outside most of the day and feels quite indifferent about dogs.

About: 1st booking for free with this code! PATRIG31306 I have been interested in dogs since early elementary school and have owned and trained different breeds thoughout the years. I am a responsible, caring person. I will work with your dog on positive reinforcement training and socialization while providing much needed exercise. Neighborhood walks, beach trips, hikes, etc. - shampoo, hose off, and brushing extra. Happy dogs, happy owners. I am a musician that typicially works nights and weekends. I love dogs and walking and working with them. Bringing dogs out to enjoy our amazing area while their owners are busy is an ideal situation for all. My availability is generally until 2pm M-F. One day notice is fine, although I would prefer a set routine with each client. Two enclosed patios. Short walk to dog park. I do not intended to house dogs, but in an emergency situation with the right clients, a safe environment is available.

Talya is the perfect dog sitter/walker/pet companion. I have never met anyone so attuned to dogs - their personalities, quirks, needs. She truly loves every dog she meets. After back-to-back challenging boarding experiences (our dog missed us so much he would go into GI meltdown), we hired Talya to petsit for him in our home, and it was a giant relief to know he was in perfect hands. He's a handful of a chi/terrier mix, and she is patient, loving, attentive and well - perfect! I would recommend Talya to absolutely anyone looking for top-notch, professional care for their pet.

Our pups were in great hands with Marley. She was very communicative throughout the booking, kept them on their feeding/walking schedule and spent quality time making them feel less anxious while we were away. Definitely look forward to having Marley watch over them again. :)

About: As a lifelong dog lover and owner of a lively Portuguese Water Dog, I know how important it is for our pups to receive the care, attention, and exercise they deserve. Each dog is unique, and I take pride in meeting their individual needs with love, affection, and plenty of exercise. With over 30 years of experience, including caring for breeds like Portuguese Water Dogs and Wheaten Terriers, I have the knowledge and compassion to make sure your pup is in great hands. I also spent five years as a personal assistant, where I had the privilege of caring for a family’s dogs, further deepening my experience. While I’m new to Rover, my passion for dogs and years of hands-on experience ensure your furry friend will feel right at home. I look forward to meeting your pup and helping them stay happy and healthy! I offer flexible dog walking services that fit seamlessly into both weekdays and weekends. Walk times can be adjusted to suit your pup’s needs and your schedule. I have a wonderful Portuguese Water Dog, and we enjoy hiking 3 miles daily—he’s a happy, fulfilled little guy! When you choose me, you’ll get: Punctual, reliable, and professional service. Plenty of play, exercise, & affection for your dog. Regular updates and communication, so you’re always in the loop about our walks.

About: I've been a lover of pups since I was a young boy, and that still remains true to this day. My fiance and I now have 2 large dogs - a boxer & a husky mix! They are truly our fur-babies! 🫶🏻 One of our dogs is ESA certified - as am I. And we've assisted in the training of my parents 2 service dogs. My experience has taught me how to tend to the varying needs and temperaments each dog may have. Rest assured your dogs will get & feel the same love, patience, and excitement that we give our own. 🐾 I work remotely (from home) full-time so my days and evenings remain flexible so I can care for your dogs as needed. I offer dog walking during working hours, and dog sitting as needed. While caring for your pet in your home, I'm happy to play with them, snuggle with them, or allow them their space to feel as comfortable as possible. At our home our boxer loves to play Frisbee and tug of war, but our husky just wants head scratches - we cater to both, in very different ways. :)
