“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!”
“Sarah was fantastic. She accepted our last‑minute, early‑morning request and showed up full of positive enthusiasm. She handled our two high‑energy huskies with care, keeping them happy, engaged, and safe.”
“Rosa was simply the best to work with. She provided constant updates and photos and gave us the best of care. I was going thru a loss in my family and Rosa gave me peace of mind knowing Shaka was being well taken care of. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend and would book again.”
“Kristin is amazing! She sent photos and communicated the entire time on my trip. I never had to worry that my dog and cat weren’t receiving the best care. I could tell she treated girls and home like her own. I also came home to a spotless house - so thankful!”
“Brenda was great! Our first time using a river service and she totally put our mind at ease!! Very responsive and we appreciate her daily check in!! Definitely will book Brenda again”
“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 :)”
“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! :)”
“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!”
“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 😁”
“Daphne’s care is next level! She sent me so many pictures and was incredibly commutative. I have never felt so comfortable leaving my animal in somebody’s hands before. My cat seemed so happy, playful, and cuddly while I was away while she normally can take time to warm up - this speaks to Daphne’s experience with animals, kindness and ability to connect with animals! Thank you so much for an incredible experience Daphne!!”
“Anna is very friendly and our dogs were very comfortable with her. She communicates well and kept our dogs and home safe while we were away. I highly recommend her and will be reaching out to her again for future dog sitting needs.”
“Candice was excellent in taking care of Kuma in-house while I was out of town. She was communicative and provided occasional updates on Kuma. She was a clean guest and left my home and guest room in great shape. She let me know that Kuma dry heaved during her watch, which I appreciate because now I know I can ask the vet about it during her checkup. I would recommend her for you and your fur child and would hire again! :)”
About: My entire life I've connected with animals. Even when I was young, animals gravitated to me, shy or hyper, old or young. It led my dad to call me the animal whisperer. I'm partial to cats, and adopted my cat Dilma six years ago. I love dog though, and grew up with a Golden Retriever in my family. Over the years, I've dog sat for family and friends many times. I have a very flexible schedule and job, freeing me up to watch pets during most times of the day. I also have a pet friendly car, so pets can be taken to appointments, parks etc. as needed. In my apartment, I've set up multiple ways my cat can enjoy and enrich herself. I have multiple scratching posts, wall-mounted beds and toys. I also have a porch area where I let her out for fresh air while supervised.
“Debbie has been our dog walker and has also provided dog sitting. We knew our dog was loved and cared for while we were gone, and she left the house perfectly clean. Thanks Debbie!”

Valeria is fantastic. She’s a sweetheart! She is super responsive and gives great feedback on the status of our pets. I have a very high energy dog and she handles her great. I have zero worries when Valeria watches our pets. Our place was immaculate when we got back. I highly recommend her to anyone.
Sarah is truly a gem! She immediately hit it off with our 2-year old golden retriever Jackson. She took him on several walks throughout the day and we could see from the pictures she sent that our boy was having a great day while we were away. Sarah is warm, friendly, reliable and clearly loves caring for our furry companions. We highly recommend Sarah and will definitely ask her to stay with Jackson again.
Our dogs loved Andrea the moment they met her. This was the first time we used the houses it option and Andrea did a great job. She sent many photos and kept us up to date on everything. The house was super clean when we got home and she even did laundry. We will definately use Andrea again. She was wonderful!
Claudia came to our rescue when we needed daytime sitting for a couple of days last minute. She made the effort to get acquainted with our dog before starting. Claudia was very caring and gentle with our fur baby, who is generally anxious with strangers, especially without us there with her. We got updates with photos throughout the day, which were very comforting and appreciated. We're really grateful for Claudia's service, and would absolutely go to her again.
Alan took such great care of our pups! He was responsive and provided updates and did really well with following care instructions. The dogs were very mellow and calm after we came back and usually they’re a lot more high energy, which goes to show that they really enjoyed their time with him and were comfortable with him. 100% would rebook with him!
As a nervous rover first timer, Nancy could not have done any better! She was amazing for two nights with our two fur babies, and I think we have found a dog sitter to add to our contact list. We have a senior dog on many medications and she kept all on schedule, and the babies both ate well for her. NANCY IS A GREAT FIND!!!
We are giving Janet 5/5. This was our first time using Rover and we are happy with who we picked. Her past reviews are true! She cares for your dog like if they were hers, and tries to be as helpful as possible. She asked questions when things were unclear and was able to make us(doggy parents) feel comfortable. We felt like our fluff child was in good hands. She communicated and made sure our special pomerenian was attended for. We will be booking with her again.
My wife recently passed away and I planned a trip with all my kids and grandkids to spread her ashes. I had two small dogs and one of them passed away the day before we left on the trip. Darya stayed with my other dog who I knew would be lonely and took such great care of her we were able to make our trip. We were gone for seven days and came home to a happy dog. I highly recommend her for watching your dog or cat and I will definitely be using her in the future any time I need to be away again.
Emily was great! She gave updates and pics regularly and made me feel like I could take the time away from home. My dog is a senior and has become a finicky eater…especially when I am gone. Emily had to hand feed him multiple times…she took the time to care for him and I’m sure it wasn’t easy.
Monica was truly wonderful. This was our first time leaving Benji with anyone else since adopting him, and because he is a rescue who can be a little skittish with new people, we were understandably nervous. But the moment Monica walked through the door, her sweet, gentle demeanor immediately put us at ease. Benji clearly felt safe with her too, because he settled down and stopped whining shortly after we left. Monica sent us photos and thoughtful updates throughout the evening without us ever having to ask, and showed so much genuine care for our little guy. We were visiting San Diego, and she came to our Airbnb to watch him, which made everything incredibly easy. We truly cannot recommend her enough, especially for rescues or dogs who need a little extra patience and gentleness. My husband and I only wish she lived in L.A. because we would book her again in a heartbeat!
The absolute best! Leah (Caitlin) took wonderful care of our home and two pups (a very high energy one and a brand new puppy!) while we were away. Communication was excellent, she sent regular updates and photos, and we came home to two very happy doggos. Already booked for future sittings :) highly recommend!
