“John watched my dogs/babies, Jewel and Jada, for the second time. Jada is blind and diabetic. She is almost 12 years old, so she has special needs with diabetes medication and also with her being blind. John is wonderful with both of my babies, and they love him! While I was visiting my daughter out of state, while John was watching Jewel and Jada, Jada had an emergency situation. And John did not hesitate to take quick action to get Jada to her vet for emergency care. John kept in contact with me and let me know exactly what was going on. I trust him completely with my dogs, and I plan to use him any time I need him to care for them in the future. I don’t have any worries when my dogs are in John‘s care.”
“Reagan did a great job with our furry babies. Our lab/weimaraner can be a hand full on walks and Reagan was a trooper and took them on walks morning and evening while she house sat for us. She also checked with me on whether to water my potted plants!”
“Danielle is wonderful to work with as she provides great updates with such fun pictures of our pets! She always leaves the house better than she found it, which is amazing to come home to. She even endured having to give my cat liquid medicine nightly! Best of the best, can’t wait to book with her again!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I was not disappointed. Maya took such good care of our fur baby! Our dog loved her so much!! Maya was very attentive to our dogs needs and made sure to follow instructions. I highly recommend Maya as a sitter!!!”
“This was our first time working with Arianna! She was able to accommodate us last minute and take care of our FOUR furbabies. She met all of their individual needs and was able to fit a meet and greet same day. Kept us informed of any updates and sent pictures. We felt very comfortable leaving our pups with her. Looking forward to booking with her again. She so great even our Velcro dog loved her”
“Megan took great care of our two dogs. She sent lots of pictures to keep us up to date, and left the house tidy. Would definitely book with her again.”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for neighbors and friends for years, I love hanging out with people’s pets especially cats and big dogs! This year my neighbor got a puppy and I was constantly over there helping with potty training and feeding her! I’m currently a college student with a pretty flexible schedule! On weekdays before 11 and after 3 I am free to walk your pups! Weekends will be a little more tricky for me since I am currently doing a 200 hr yoga teacher training. I’m a very high energy person willing to play and walk the distance! with your fur babies! I have two dogs and a cat back at home and if I wasn’t hanging out with my cat I was playing with the dogs!
“Yuliya did a fantastic job taking care of my dog! I got tons of pictures and updates and her communication with me was wonderful! She really took the time to get to know my dog and her needs during a meet and greet before I left town which helped me feel so much better about leaving”
“This was my first time using Lillian. She was on time for our Meet and Greet, sent daily pictures of my fur babies and via these pics I could clearly see they were comfortable in her care. She promptly texted me about concerns and left the house neat and tidy. The house needed to be swept/swiffered given the house bunny is in a shed cycle but perhaps I didn’t make that expectation clear.”
“Sol watched our dogs this weekend and did an amazing job. He stayed with them the whole time, kept up with all their walks, and handled their meds perfectly. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pups and a clean house, which says a lot about the care and attention he gave them. It gave us real peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We’d absolutely trust Sol to watch them again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful dog sitter.”
“Our first time using Staphanie for our 4 furbabies. She was able to fit them in her busy weekend and care for all of their needs! Great communication! We enjoyed having her and will be using her in the future.”
“Very helpful and flexible watching our old lady Lana. Extended the booking when travel plans changed with no issues. Tons of updates and would book her any time! Highly recommend.”
“Madalyn was amazing!!! This was our first time leaving our Livy with a dog sitter & she took such good care of her plus our house. She sent updates on Livy every day at different parts of the day which we really appreciated as Livy is also on a medicine regimen currently. She alleviated all of our concerns and we know Livy loved her time with Madalyn! She even made sure the house was just as we left it plus did her sheet/towel laundry. We know we have found a go-to sitter for the future!”
“She was a fantastic sitter! Very communicative, sent pictures daily and provided Goose with so much love! She even took him on a special outing to meet new dog friends. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Lauren did a great job taking care of our pets! She was very communicative and told us when she would be away which is very appreciated. We will absolutely use her next trip!”
“Arianna was fantastic! Her consistent communication, daily pictures and outright love for our dogs are the reasons we will be booking with her again. We were very nervous leaving our 2 Dachshund’s for the week, but Arianna put our minds at ease on the first day. She followed all of our instructions perfectly, and asked clarifying questions to ensure no confusion. We will absolutely be booking with Arianna again!”
Bay Area pet parents share their Rover experiences
When needing services for your fur family, Rover has numerous options and when I read Arianna’s profile and reviews, I felt more than comfortable with her professional services. I was not disappointed at all, Arianna is an awesome person with pets, we were extremely happy with her. I will definitely reach out to her in the future. I also strongly recommend her services for anyone needing what she offers for your pets. Thank you Arianna.
Sol did an amazing job watching our dogs this weekend. He was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure everything went smoothly while we were away. We came back to happy, well-cared-for pups and a clean home, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. It’s not easy trusting someone with your pets, but Sol made it feel effortless. I’d absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable and thoughtful pet sitter.
Danielle, as always, is amazing! She is so great with our boys and goes above and beyond! She is super thorough, always follows up to make sure we got home and that the boys are taken care. That extra touch to make sure someone got home to them, is one example of how she always goes above and beyond!
We just returned from a long weekend away and couldn't be happier with the care John provided. He took excellent care of our dog, cat, and home. It was a relief to know everything was in good hands while we were in San Antonio. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a reliable and attentive house/pet sitter!
Develyn was great! She took a good amount of time before the booking to get to know my dogs and allow them to adjust to her while I was there, which helped me feel comfortable leaving my pups in her care! She kept me updated throughout her stay on how the dogs were and sent pictures throughout! She also left the house cleaner than when she arrived which was so nice to come home to! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter (both home and pups)!!!
Andrew did a great job taking care of our old girl. He spoiled her and loved on her while he was here. He took good care of the house as well and everything was neat and clean when we arrived home. I would gladly recommend his services and I will use him again for future trips.
Arianna was fantastic! Her consistent communication, daily pictures and outright love for our dogs are the reasons we will be booking with her again. We were very nervous leaving our 2 Dachshund’s for the week, but Arianna put our minds at ease on the first day. She followed all of our instructions perfectly, and asked clarifying questions to ensure no confusion. We will absolutely be booking with Arianna again!
We’ve had Erin come to our house multiple times to watch our two large dogs. We live in an apartment and need our dogs walked three times a day. Erin is always so happy to do whatever the dogs need. She communicates very well with what’s going on and sends picture updates. I never have to worry about my dogs when she watches them. I highly recommend hiring her for your pet needs!
Christina had a last-minute situation that resulted in needing to change the house sitting to drop-in visits, and she was very professional about communicating the need for the change and dropping the overall price. We are grateful that she was still able to prioritize caring for our pets during the holiday. The pets were happy and healthy when we returned, and the litterbox was clean. Thanks Christina!
AMAZING! Is one of the few perfect words I can use to describe Kimberlee. She relieved all stress and nerves I had of a dog sitter and exceeded expectations x10! Ive never left my dogs with anyone other than friends or family so I was beyond nervous. But she made it her top priority to come beforehand and meet them so they were comfortable with her and take down the laundry list of information on them I had lol. She took care of my house, my dogs shed like crazy, so thankfully she kept up with it and even took the trash out the last day! She stayed with my babies many times over night and the times she couldnt she stayed late and came back over early in the morning. She came over MULTIPLE times a day and sent me the best update pictures daily! Even brought them toys! 🥰 I literally couldnt of asked for better and I appreciate her so much. 1000% recommend and will definitely rebook ❤️
This was our second time using Lauren to dog sit but our first time having her stay in our house. We would highly recommend Lauren! She was very respectful of our home and we came home to happy, healthy dogs! She is always quick to respond to messages and send photos of our pups every day. Our male dog can be a little nippy/wary of new people, especially around his mom, but Lauren stayed calm and really put us at ease that she would be equipped to handle him. It’s very clear she has a lot of experience with dogs of all sorts of different personalities and it was very reassuring watching her interact with Sirius.
This was my first time using Lillian. She was on time for our Meet and Greet, sent daily pictures of my fur babies and via these pics I could clearly see they were comfortable in her care. She promptly texted me about concerns and left the house neat and tidy. The house needed to be swept/swiffered given the house bunny is in a shed cycle but perhaps I didn’t make that expectation clear.
