“We had an amazing experience with Keishla and can’t recommend her enough. She went above and beyond caring for our cat and our home, and her thoughtful updates and photos gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We came home to a happy, relaxed cat and a house in perfect shape. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and trustworthy to watch your pet, book with Keishla without hesitation. We are already planning on having her back again!”
About: I love DOGS! I have grown up around dogs of all shapes and sizes! Much like some of our dogs, I also get a little mischievous when I get left home alone too long, so let my extra energy benefit you! I am happy to run your dog until they are completely tuckered out, or take a little jaunt around the block to keep our senior pets moving and grooving! Whatever you and your pets may need, I am happy to accommodate! Currently working part-time and studying to become a yoga instructor! I have a very open schedule and can be very flexible to suit your family's needs! Animal safety is always a top priority. Happy to send photos or videos of your pet during our visit so that you can relax knowing your pet and I have having a great time together!
“Had to spend several days away from my high-maintenance elderly Ella, and Kerstin managed her well. Came home to a happy and rested old girl, and I’m grateful!”
“Emily was great. She was very communicative of everything that was going on with Taji while I was away. She also kept the house in great shape. I highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“We had a great experience working with Jazmin! She stayed in our home for two nights, treated our house with great respect and left everything clean and tidy. Most importantly, she truly loved our pups. She sent us frequent photos and videos that gave us so much peace of mind and she even surprised the pups with pup cups as a special treat 🐶❤️ We could tell our dogs were happy and well cared for. Highly recommend her!”
“Dustin was very patient with my anxious dog (and very patient with his anxious mamma). Thank you for hanging in there with him, I appreciate it. Highly recommended!”
“I’ve never felt so comfortable and anxiety free leaving my beloved animals while on a trip. So grateful for her wonderful care, clear and detailed communication, and the ease all around.”
About: **Please note that my pet care has not been gained professionally, but through personal experiences at home. Over the years, I've gained hands-on experience in caring for dogs and cats through taking care of my own and my loved ones' dogs and cats! This has provided me with valuable skills to apply to caring for your pets too! This includes daily care, such as feeding and grooming, recognizing abnormal behaviors, administering necessary medication, and handling unexpected situations calmly. I'm currently looking for employment, so I am almost always available to take care of your pets! Any day and time is highly likely to work for me. Through my experiences, I have developed a great understanding behavior and commitment to animals' well-being. My home background in pet care reflects a genuine love for all animals and a proactive approach to their health and happiness.
“Melinda was a great pet and house sitter! Our Malamute and two cats all have special dietary restrictions and multiple medications, and she took such wonderful care of them while we were away. We loved the daily pictures and updates she would send. She also made sure the house was nice and clean for us when we got back from our long trip. Thank you Melinda!”
“Aicha did very well with our dogs. They seemed to like her after they got to know her. And when our outing lasted longer than we expected she offered to stay later till we got back. We will look her up next time we are in the area. Highly recommended.”
“Janessa & John were amazing and I had no concerns about leaving my Littles (2) in their good hands. I would definitely recommend their services and will have them back again.”
“Brandon did a great job watching Tito! He was reliable and attentive, and Tito really liked him right away. I felt totally at ease and would definitely trust him again. Highly recommend!”
About: I have been dog sitting and taking care of pets since I was 15. I love being with dogs of all ages and breeds. I have a soft spot for anxious or nervous dogs as I also have a nervous dog at home myself! I will be sure to send you photos and updates every day about your pet and will treat them like they are my own pup. They will be well taken care of and receive lots of love when they are with me. New to Rover? Use my code for $20 off your first booking! https://www.rover.com/sit/natass69178 I am currently working full-time, but I am available to come by on my lunch break for a potty break or walk, and can come take care of your pet before 8am and after 5pm. If you prefer to keep your dog crated, I make sure they are not being destructive to your home while I am gone. I also make sure to give them plenty of mental stimulation, and I will clearly communicate all matters to you.
“I’ve used rover many times before, Maria not only left me reassured on our pet meet up before the booking but also during booking. She listened to all of my elder dogs needs, my baby is 14 years of age and leaving her for a week was definitely nerve wracking since here eyes are already grey. She would send me updates on my pets, my dog doesn’t get along with many people or pets but she allowed Maria to get near her and even napped together. She truly is Angel and HIGHLY recommend!”
“Bari was wonderful! We felt totally secure leaving our dogs and cat with Bari. She was communicative, helpful, and all-around awesome. Would definitely recommend her. Thank you, Bari!”
“Larisa is absolutely wonderful! She is very attentive, detail oriented, and very quick to respond. She played and loved our sweet Hazel girl as if she was her own. I highly recommend Larisa to anyone and will definitely be booking with her again! 🤗💗🐶🐾”
“Oh my gosh!! What an amazing sitter! When I got home my pups were so happy, calm and well behaved. They are usually crazy men when I get home. Natalie somehow gave them manors in the short time she had them. I would definitely book and rebook again with her.”

Really can’t say enough great things about Katelyn!! She cared for our dogs as if they were her own, and left our house absolutely immaculate. She absolutely went above & beyond. Great communication & responsiveness, and it’s clear she’s a real animal lover! We will certainly ask her to care for our dogs again and recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent sitter. 🤗
Laura has been the most flexible, understanding, and easiest sitter - my boys love when she stops by. She texts and sends photos, which brings peace of mind at work. I haven’t found the right person to help ever since I moved back to Sacramento, so I’m lucky she and I connected. Trust me y’all, shes the one! Thank you Laura ✨
Four stars all the way . Mel was so great ! We never used Rover before this time and I was a little worried. But meeting Mel and seeing how well she took care of our 11 year old Opie , I will only use Mel from here on out . Opie seems to really like her and she gave us updates the whole three days. She even cleaned and washed her towels . You can’t ask for a better pet sitter . Thank you so much Mel ! We really are happy we picked you . Michelle and Opie
Kessyah was absolutely amazing and we’ll definitely be using her again in the future. We were gone for almost two weeks, so leaving our three very high energy pups for that long was stressful, but she made the entire experience so easy and reassuring. She stayed at our house with Moose, Olivia, and Wallaby, and they absolutely loved her and her pup Miso. We came home to three very happy, loved, and clearly well cared for dogs. She was incredibly kind, accommodating, and went above and beyond the entire time we were away. We received many photos/videos, texts, and updates while we were away and she took them on so many adventures. She even made us fresh chocolate chip cookies for when we got home, which was such a thoughtful touch and they were fire!!! You can really tell she genuinely cares and puts so much effort into making both pets and owners feel comfortable. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring for their pets!
Abby is absolutely phenomenal! She is responsible and checks in whenever she has questions. We have had her housesit for our two dogs on several occasions and she is our go to sitter when needed. We appreciate her kindhearted, respectful and responsible care!
Brittany did an outstanding job taking care of our senior dog, Frankie, in my home. He had some GI upset the night before Brittany was petsitting, so he needed some extra meds and attention. She kept me apprised of whether and how much he was eating, how he was acting, etc., including pictures. By the time I got home the next day Frankie was feeling much better, as did I since everything went so smoothly.
Julia recently cared for our 16 year old cat, Leaux, over night/s in our home. She did a fantastic job with him, following his frequent meal plan and giving him lots of cuddles. She also took extra care to calm him during the night when he cried out (several times) as he has a little older kitty dementia. She also took extra good care of our home. She sent me pictures and kept excellent communication along the way. It’s been a day since I’ve gotten home and he still keeps going into the guest room to see if she’s still there. He misses her. Don’t hesitate to book Julia for your pet.
