“Andrea did a wonderful job with our 2 dogs! She stayed at our house for 8 days over Christmastime while we went home to see family. We got plenty of pictures and she took them for a walk and/or played fetch with them everyday. My Aussie usually pukes when we leave out of nervousness, but didn’t this time! The dogs are also on edge when we get home, but not the case this time either. Thanks, Andrea!”
“We asked Paige to watch our pets, Zoe the cat, Goose the Golden Retriever (3yrs old) and Willow the Goldendoodle (2 yr old). Paige survived and the animals were cared for. Willow does like socks so consequently Paige lost a sock. Paige had to walk each dog separately as Goose is really strong and is very playful during walks making it more challenging while walking the other dog. Zoe the 12 yr old cat, is typically not fond of strangers and will almost never be seen. Well day one Zoe was out and greeted Paige. I told Paige she must be a cat whisperer. Anyways, Paige was keeping us updated and had everything under control as well making sure the animals were fed and lived which is all we really care about. Recommend and we will be happy to have Paige watch our pets in the future.”


“Jenna was such a sweet, attentive and kind pet sitter! She gave regular updates on my sweet animals, provided plenty of photos and videos and stayed in contact. I will certainly be booking Jenna again to care for our fur babies 😊”

“Mara is incredible! She was a fantastic sitter for my pup, bringing him on adventures and taking great care of him! She was so patient with my nervous boy, which end in him giving her all of the snuggles. Mara kept me updated with photos and end of the day updates that made me feel so comfortable even though I was so far away. I will definitely utilize Mara’s services again, and I strongly recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter :)”


“Sarah was an excellent dog and house sitter. We left for 10 days and felt completely comfortable and at ease with Sarah being with our two dogs. She provided regular updates, gave them snuggles, played with them and was great watering our plants while we were away to keep the house nice. Our dogs love her so it was a match made in heaven!”


“What can you say about Vanessa besides the fact that she is amazing. On less than a day’s notice, she was kind enough to do a meet and greet and then house sit my pup for the week. Vanessa is extremely communicative and helpful. You’ll never have to guess about the status of your pup or home when she’s around. I felt extremely comfortable with her in my home and she even left it cleaner than she found it. I would recommend Vanessa to all of my friends and book her services again any time.”

“Evelyn was so amazing and did such a great job watching our girl Ryan! She sent so many photos and updates - I never had to worry and knew she was getting well taken care of. It made us enjoy our trip that much more! Thank you again Evelyn!”

“Kristin is incredible! My dog is obsessed with her. Onyx is so excited when she comes to stay with him. She’s great at communicating and sends so many pics, I never have to worry when I’m traveling. She’s responsible and reliable, absolutely book her!”

“Fantastic sitter! Super nice, very professional, and took care of our little ones expertly. I love that she sent multiple videos as updates. I could tell they were having a really good time 😁”


“Elijah was fantastic! I have a rescue pitbull who can sometimes get spooked by strangers coming into the house. I asked Elijah to meet us a day early so I could introduce them properly and he was happy to do so. While he was dog sitting he sent a ton of cute photos of the pups and updated me periodically so I knew everything was going smoothly. He’s the first dog sitter I’ve trusted outside of family members and everything went great! 10/10 highly recommend!”

“Crystal is absolutely fantastic! She recently took care of our home, dog, and cat, and we couldn’t be more impressed with her professionalism, reliability, and genuine care. Our dog, who can be a bit shy with new people, has buddied up to her. She kept us updated with pictures and messages, which gave us complete peace of mind while I was away. Not only did she ensure our animals were happy, healthy, but she also went above and beyond to keep my house spotless and organized. It was such a relief to come home to a clean space and happy fur babies. Crystal is trustworthy, kind, and clearly has a natural connection with animals. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can depend on!”


About: I’ve taken care/been around dogs majority of my life.. some breeds I’ve taken care of include pit bulls, frenchies, chihuahuas and much more! As long as your dog is friendly I’m here to help! I’m currently working remote with flexibility to go on routinely walks. I love getting my steps in and would love an excuse to go out and explore more! I currently do not own any pets, therefore your pet should feel right at home. If your pet has any special needs please specify as soon as possible to make sure I can accommodate as needed.
“Sarah was amazing with Junie! She was very attentive and gave great updates with photos every day. There were fireworks while we were gone, which Junie hates, so Sarah let me know that Junie had a rough night but she sat with her and tried to get her to calm until Junie eventually slept beside Sarah in bed. Sarah also took great care of our house. It was so nice to come home to a happy dog and a clean house.”

“Brittany was so kind and updated us with pictures of our pets. We felt safe and at ease with Brittany watching our animals. Brittany was great at communicating her schedule. Would absolutely recommend!”


“Valeria was absolutely wonderful! My pup settled in quickly and looked completely at home in her care and she kept me updated with photos and messages throughout his stay. She was also incredibly accommodating as plans changed and went above and beyond to help make sure Beau was safe, comfortable, and well cared for.”

“Nancy was absolutely AMAZING! She came before our booking to meet us, our pup, and little bunny! She was so kind and took in all the information about them both and asked any questions I missed and did not get over. Nova was soooo happy in all the photos that were sent and even happier in person when we got home. We know she’ll miss Nancy very much! Pims our bunny which is not a usual animal to care for was so happy and did so well with Nancy as well. Looking forward to booking with her again since our little furballs were so happy and so well cared for!”

“What a great experience! I had Vanessa stay at my place for 5 nights with my 2 dogs and it was great. I got pictures of my girls and updates daily so communication was excellent! My girls were happy and healthy when I got home and my place was clean. Will absolutely be booking again! :)”


“Vanessa was absolutely amazing and I can’t recommend her enough! 🐾❤️ She kept us updated with lots of pictures, videos, and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. What really stood out was how much she genuinely cared for our pets. 🥹 It truly felt like she loved them just as much as we do. She has such a big heart, and knowing she also volunteers with the Humane Society says so much about the kind of person she is. 🐶🐱💕 Our pets were happy, well cared for, and so loved.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Balboa Park
Kelly was wonderful and we are so grateful we found her. She was quick to respond and available last minute, which we really appreciated. This was our first time leaving our dog, so it was incredibly stressful for us. Kelly did an amazing job taking care of our girl and helping us feel more comfortable while we were away. My husband and I both work from home, so our dog is used to having us around most of the day and is not used to being alone for long periods. Kelly made sure to adapt to our dog’s schedule, routine, and needs. She sent us pictures and videos, which really helped reassure us that our dog was doing well. Kelly was flexible, attentive, and very caring toward both our dog’s needs and our concerns as anxious pet parents. Seeing how well our dog did with her gave us so much peace of mind. We are very glad we found Kelly and would definitely ask her to take care of our girl again in the future.

I was going for a brief trip out of town and Elijah was responsive and ready to help. After he came for a meet and greet with my dog, I felt confident leaving her with him. Throughout the trip, Elijah provided updates and pics. House was the same as when I left. Would definitely book again.

Our family was in a huge pinch after our puppy needed surgery 5 days before we were scheduled for a long-planned family trip. Ilana was willing to step in and provide care in a very challenging situation. We felt comfortable leaving after meeting her...and she was exceptionally kind and patient and diligent about sending us updates throughout her stay. Even with restless nights and extra cleaning, we always knew the dogs were safe and being cared for as much as possible. Would recommend her without reservation, and hope to use her again in the future under happier and healthier circumstances.

Austin house sit for us for 6 days to take care of our Mini Schnauzer. I can tell she really likes him and that's what matters most! He's friendly, sent photos each day, and kept our home clean. We have already booked him again for some upcoming walks. We will definitely request him again for future doggy care needs.

Sarah was awesome! She watched our dog and cat for 10 nights and you could tell they were more than comfortable with her. She made them feel very loved and she was exceptionally helpful with our dog who has bad anxiety with fireworks. She was extremely communicative and sent great pictures and updates. She even helped water all of our plants and the house was just as clean as we left it. We will definitely use Sarah again!

Andrea was absolutely incredible! My dog has extreme separation anxiety, and she went above and beyond to make him feel safe and comfortable. She stepped in at the last minute over a holiday weekend, completely saving us when we needed help most. She was attentive, reliable, communicative, and sent frequent updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. She treated my dog like her own, was incredibly responsible, kept everything clean, and was always willing to help in any way she could. Andrea truly exceeded every expectation. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable. We are so grateful for her and will definitely book with her again!

Mara was amazing. In our initial meet and greet she asked such thoughtful questions that left us feeling very comfortable with her ability to keep our pups safe while we were gone. She was very communicative and took the cutest pictures. We’d love to have her back!

Emily took care of our 3 medium/large dogs and gave us great updates each day, that were very accurate to their personalities and shared adorable pictures of them while we were away! We felt super reassured with Emily and would love to have her watch our pups again! We came home to a clean house and happy dogs!!

Abigail was an amazing Rover - highly recommend. This was our first time using Rover and she did a great job educating on how the process works. She requested a meet and greet beforehand which was amazing for us both. We have a 6 month golden retriever who is still very much in puppy phase, Abigail was really patient and attentive. She stayed at our house so our dog had minimal change - we appreciated the in home care, somewhat last minute. Abigail sent multiple photos and videos a day, putting our mind at ease. She was extremely communicative and 10/10 to work with + our puppy seemed to love her. Recommend to anyone needed a Rover, will absolutely be booking her again!

Jayla was wonderful! She stayed in our home for two days while caring for our dog, Oliver, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Oliver was so happy and well cared for, and Jayla kept us updated with lots of photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. She also left our home spotless. We would absolutely have her stay with Oliver again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter!

Vanessa was absolutely amazing and I can’t recommend her enough! 🐾❤️ She kept us updated with lots of pictures, videos, and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. What really stood out was how much she genuinely cared for our pets. 🥹 It truly felt like she loved them just as much as we do.

Yulissa was so friendly and competent and did a great job sitting for my two huskies! She gave me plenty of updates and pictures and made sure they got as much exercise as they needed, would definitely book her again and recommend her for anyone’s dog sitting/dog walking needs!
