“Qishu was amazing with our high energy dog and extremely communicative with us. We received lots of updates and pictures over all the days we were gone. We would unreservedly recommend Qishu to anyone!”
“Dennis is wonderful and we can’t wait to work with him again. He took great care of Bruno and our home. Dennis provided photos and updates on Bruno while we were away and our home was spotless when we arrived home. Highly recommend’”
“Adela is fantastic! Adela follows all my instructions and cares for my dog (Bowie) as if he was her own. Adela stays overnight at my home and she is super respectful, clean and kind. Highly recommend!”
“If there were 6 stars, I'd give them to Hollie. She is the epitome of conscientious, responsible, and caring. Our flight home was delayed and she even changed her plans so she could stay longer. Our shih tzu loves being with her - from a drop-in walk to a 3-night stay - and we're eager to have Hollie back as soon as our next need arises. I cannot recommend this sitter more highly.”
“Lady loves Melina! Melina is very friendly and relaxed, our puppy Lady is very comfortable with her, and she’s also very knowledgeable which is great for new puppy parents like us. Thanks Melina!”
“Charlii watched Wes and Margot while we were on vacation. She stayed at our house with the dogs and sent wonderful EOD updates with lots of pictures and notes. We’re excited to have her watch them again soon!”
“Josie is an absolute angel! Not only did Josie take great care of Bowie, but also went above and beyond by picking him up from the previous sitter that gave her the wrong pickup instructions, persevered to find and pick up Bowie, and took him to the vet to make sure Bowie is okay due to our worries with the previous sitter, all with amazing communication and accommodating last minute requests. We later found out that Josie‘s perseverance and undeterred help might have saved Bowie‘s life. She even nursed Bowie back to health by encouraging him to eat and giving lots of love. Josie was also super respectful and tidy with our apartment while sitting Bowie at our place. She even stayed with Bowie for 8 hours every day to make sure that Bowie gets enough play, attention, and love. She even made a great effort to clean the little accident Bowie had when he wasn’t feeling well. She sent plenty of updates with Bowie and took great care of our dog. We are eternally grateful to Josie and would recommend her to everyone.”
“I had Esteban house sit to look after my big, rambunctious dog Sable for 6 days. Not only did Esteban take amazing care of my dog, he left the house in incredible condition. All my dog’s needs were met, and he sent regular pupdates. I’m a very anxious person and it was my first time using Rover, but Esteban put me at ease and I am so glad I decided to go with him. I would 100% use Esteban again if I ever leave town. I believe it’s safer and easier on my dog than boarding her at a dog hotel. You da man, Esteban!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I was a little nervous because I didn’t know what to expect, and Madeline was phenomenal. My dog, Swiffy, loved her immediately and she sent me thorough updates of their time together which really helped put me at ease and I was able to enjoy my event knowing my dog was being well taken care of. I would highly recommend her.”
“Lucy was so great! We had a last-minute request that she was able to accommodate, she was great at communicating and sent us cute pics of our pup Capri, and Capri loved her! Would definitely book again (:”
“Lulia is great with picture and video updates. She was able to administer meds and eyedrops to my senior dog (16) and ensure he ate while I was away over the course of a week. She was patient and continued to find new ways to ensure he ate on days he was being stubborn because I wasn’t home!”
“G’la was great with our two dogs! We loved all of the wonderful pictures she sent and our dogs clearly had a good time. She even went above and beyond to coordinate visits with our landlord while we were away. Thanks, G’la!”
About: I've been watching critters of all shapes and sizes for over 20 years: cats, dogs, rabbits, parrots, chickens to name a few. I'm comfortable with administering medications (oral, eye, topical) I'm incredibly attentive to the specific care your furry family member needs and very communicative so I can provide the best care possible. I've recently returned to school online full-time, so I'm excited that the flexible schedule allows me to spend more time with your pet. I generally have open availability and can work with varying routines that work best for you and your furry family member. I offer petsitting in your home, so that your pet can feel comfortable in familiar environs. I love how this allows me to meld into your pet's routine and keep them happy! I provide drop-in and overnight services and am flexible to alternate between the two.
“Dane agreed to dog sit for me at the last minute when my dog was having some health issues and I was worried about leaving him alone. Dane was so positive, friendly, and attentive! I will definitely seek him out in the future with any dog sitting needs.”
“Laura’s first time dog sitting for us went smoothly. This was an overnight trip. She sent us photo updates and was responsive when we texted to check in. When we got home, the house was tidy, their water bowls were filled, and Cannoli and Da Vinci were in good spirits. We’ve booked Laura for an extended stay while we’re on an international trip. Thanks, Laura!”
“Sam was a wonderful pup and house sitter! We absolutely will be using him again. He sent fun updates, was super responsive, and spoiled our two pups - including a senior boy with medical needs. Plus, our house was absolutely spotless when we got back which was so lovely.”
“This is the 2nd time Ashley has dog/house sit for us. She takes such great care of our pups, especially our senior dog. She always goes above and beyond, leaving our home even cleaner and tidier than we left it!”
“Dea was so great with Loki, I could tell from the photo and video updates that he was very comfortable and happy! Would absolutely rebook her services again and would definitely recommend Dea to anyone!”
Bella Vista pet parents share their Rover experiences
Alisa took excellent care of our doggies. She communicated well with me while I was traveling with texts and pictures, and the house was in great shape when I returned. She realized that our younger terrier needed more exercise than our old Golden and added a solo walk for him to the schedule. Her connection with both dogs impressed a friend that came by to check on the cats. I am very pleased with Alisa as a pet/house sitter. I'm looking forward to having her again.
I had an amazing experience with this dog sitter. She took care of my dog at her home and made me feel completely at ease the entire time. She was great with communication, sending regular updates and pictures and letting me know how my dog was doing. It was clear that my dog was safe, comfortable, and truly loved while in her care. My dog absolutely loved her, and you can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving, and reliable dog sitter.
Qishu was fantastic! Our pup had an amazing time, and she sent frequent updates and photos, which was incredibly helpful. She was also extremely patient with our highly energetic pup (who is actively teething) and can be a lot of work. We would trust her to watch our dog anytime in the future. She also left our house extremely clean and was just generally great! Thank you!
Emma was a great house & doggo sitter for us! It was our first weekend leaving them since Kuma started developing incontinence issues (which required additional management), so we were nervous about putting that burden on someone else. Emma quickly reassured us, saying she grew up with senior dogs with the issue and needed similar care. Throughout the weekend, she shared regular updates on the pups, including notes for Kuma's incontinence for my own notes as we navigate his new routines. We appreciated her thoughtfulness and the amount of care she put into her stay for not just the pups, but for us nervous parents. tl;dr the pups loved their time with her, she was a great houseguest, and we were able to leave our "trouble furchildren" at home without constantly worrying. We'd definitely have her care for our pups again and recommend her to others in particular need of a sitter with senior pup experience.
Kendra took such amazing care of my quirky adolescent pit bull and senior chihuahua mix for 2 weeks! She was super pleasant to work with and provided the best daily updates. She took care of my house and left it very clean as well. I was relieved to know that my pups were in good hands and she was going above and beyond!
I recently moved to the area and have been seeking a new sitter for my cats that I can really count on and feel at ease when I'm away. Emilia delivered 1000%. Excellent communication from a very start, she's got a really lovely, calm energy, my cats immediately took to her during the meet and greet, and I felt so at ease while I was away. One of my cats has a little bit of a special behavioral need and she was very accommodating and understanding of that and I'm just very grateful to have found her. Would not hesitate to use her again for all of my time away from my babies. Daily updates showed that my cats were very happy and content, and one of them seems more attached to her than he is to me lol. Thank you so much, Emilia!
Kaiya helped us last minute with a drop in over the holidays for our 2 medium sized rescue dogs. She was very kind and patient with them. She was easy to communicate with and asked good questions which helped me feel reassured. We will be working with her again.
Erin was a delight to work with—she handled dog/housesitting (2 senior rescues, one rambunctious Aussie shepherd) during an atmospheric river with grace and aplomb. Communicative, punctual, and left the house in great shape. Would not hesitate to have her return.
Jena was THE BEST pet sitter. Not only did she update me several times a day with pictures of my higher-intensity dog Murray, take him on way more walks than I ever could, give him her undivided attention, but she left my house so clean and respected. I'm so excited to have found her here and I can't wait to have her back!
G'la did a great job with dog sitting and house-sitting in our home in North Oakland. She gave us updates and took good care of our 2-year-old labradoodle pup who has a LOT of energy. She left our home tidy and clean, and we will definitely hire her again in the future.
Sara was fantastic to work with! Our original sitter cancelled 3 days prior to our trip. She quickly came to our rescue, met with the dogs, and asked lots of questions that put us at ease. She did not have it easy with our anxious, senior pup (lots of accidents unfortunately), but she kept up with it all with no complaints and unwavering support. I would happily use her again in the future. When we came home, our place was clean, our dogs were chill, and we couldn't have asked for more. She even watered our plants!
