“When we read Danielle's profile we knew she was the perfect match for our older dog. Danielle was always quick to reply, great with our dog, sent lots of pictures throughout, and kept us informed about how our dog was doing. We also appreciated that Danielle was willing to schedule some meet ups before our booking to get to know our dog, and let our dog get to know her. We booked Danielle to stay overnight, and our house was exactly as we left it. We cannot say enough good things about Danielle, except that we will definitely book her again in the future”
“Jordan did a great job taking care of my dog, Beckett! She sent plenty of pictures and even knitted a little paw for me while I was gone. I also appreciated that she was tidy and bonus ran my dishwasher and stripped the bed for me on her last day. Would absolutely recommend Jordan!”
“Madison and Ryan were so great with my two pups! They sent plenty of updates and pictures which is always appreciated. One of my pups ended up getting sick on the last day from an autoimmune condition and they were super attentive and caught onto the symptoms immediately. They even offered to stay later than planned to keep an eye on him until we got home. 10/10 recommend and will book again!”
“Brooke took excellent care of my cat while staying with him for a long trip. She followed his care instructions and sent me great updates and photos. Made me feel much better about being so far away from my cat. Would definitely reccomend Brooke!”
“Ava did an excellent job taking care of our two dogs and two cats in our home for 6 days. She was attentive, communicative and left our house spotless. Ava was flexible with our schedule and able to adjust the timeframe accordingly. She is reliable and it is clear she loves animals and knows how to care for them - do not hesitate to hire her for any pet sitting needs.”
“Tessa stepped in at the last minute to take care of Kimi when another Rover had to cut the stay short by two days. We're very comfortable with Tessa and appreciate her willingness to help. This is the second time she has taken care of Kimi.”
“Amanda was a wonderful sitter for our doodle Henry. He loved having her and she really took great care of him. He had walks and playtime and she sent frequent pictures showing us how much fun Henry was having. I was completely at ease knowing she was at our house with him. She also left the house impeccable. We highly recommend her!!!”
About: I grew up with dogs, and in the last few years have been regularly petsitting for friends and mutual friends who need a dog lover to give them peace of mind that their pets will be cared for and loved on even when you're away :) I work full time, typically either 11-6:30 or 12-8:30 Tues-Sat (usually off Sunday and Monday). Infrequently I have later a later shift depending on work needs, and that usually means 3-11. Overall, I can be available in the morning, evening, and overnight around my work schedule! I'm an active person and love walks, so I can take your pet on very long walks and provide lots of play! I can take them out to the bathroom in the morning and evenings, and feed + administer medicine as needed. Overall, I enjoy getting to spend time with dogs so they will be watched and looked after (....and given lots of treats but that's between me and them)
“Was nothing short of amazing. From the meet and greet to entire time Lettie was house sitting, she was attentive and thorough. Gave updates along the way and made the entire experience so stress free. Best experience with Rover yet!”
“Christian was absolutely excellent! Lots of good communication. Our two dogs loved her from the meet and greet and we feel confident we have someone to watch our house and dogs while we’re away in the future. Also took excellent care of the house. Highly recommend!”
“Samantha was an absolute joy to have pet sit overnight. She is extremely responsive and timely, and she follows any directions you give her. She loved up on our 2 crazy bulldogs as if they were her own pups. Samantha even administered eye drops to our English bulldog, which I know is not an easy task. Sadly, she was faced with our Frenchie having some swallowing issues, resulting in 2 vomit incidents. She cleaned that and reported it immediately to me. She left our home cleaner than when we left! I am very picky about my dogs. I would highly recommend Samantha and look forward to our next trip.”
“Jessica was so patient with my anxious pup and kept me updated throughout the sitting! Left the house nice and tidy as well. Would highly recommend her to other pet parents!”
“Dakota, this review is written also as my gratitude. Thank you again for all your time and attention to my dogs for such a very long time (12 days!). They were content and happy when I got back. And the house was spotless! (You didn’t have to clean up!) I felt safe leaving them with you and deeply appreciated your daily updates and photos. I hope you and Spam would be willing to help us out again in the future 😊!!”
“LaTrice was very responsive and took great care of my springer spaniel. She did in-home sitting and was very respectful of the space and left the apartment clean. She took my dog on many walks and upheld his recent training requirements. Would book her again.”
“Gala did a wonderful job looking after my dog, Ace! I had no issues and she was always quick to respond when I checked in to see how he was doing. Will definitely be back!”
“Zach took wonderful care of our home and dog while we were out of town. Harlow was spoiled with so many snuggles and quality time. We hope to have him stay again in the future. Thank you, Zach!”

“We love Maggie! She is such a sweet and thoughtful human. When I need a dog walker, house sitter, someone to give Rugby lots of love when I can't be there, she is my go-to every time. She communicates well, meets all of my needs and my puppy's needs, sends the cutest photos, genuinely cares about my pup's wellbeing. What more could you ask for?”

Berkeley pet parents share their Rover experiences
Lauren was super responsible and great at communicating. When we came home our dog was so well groomed and cared for, and the house was in perfect shape. The spaces our two cats eat, drink and use the litter box were also immaculately clean and tidy. We highly recommend Lauren!
Jonathan was amazing with our rottie. He was available at the very last minute when a different pet sitter cancelled. He saved our anniversary trip! He has a really mellow personality, which really seemed to suit Harvey well because he tends to be hyper. He sent excellent updates with pictures during the trip, which really eased my mommy mind. Harvey genuinely seemed to like him. Particularly playing ball! He did everything we asked plus more. We returned to a clean house and a happy dog. We will definitely rebook.
Emily could not have done a better job! With her I knew my high energy 1 year old pup and chatty cat were in great hands. She sent me pictures / videos while we're were out of town and blurbs about their day periodically! Knowing our pets were well taken care of and in our own home meant so much to us.
Amanda is absolutely amazing! This is the first time I used Rover. Amanda was very communicative and sent photos each day. I will definitely use her again as a house sitter on our next trip. She even washed the sheets! The house was spotless. My dog was taken care of well the entire time we were gone.
David was really lovely. It was my first experience using a house sitter instead of boarding as I had always felt a bit uneasy about it, but David was very reassuring and put me at ease. He took great care of my dog while I was gone and she seemed to have really liked him; the first night I came home, she went to the guest room where he had stayed instead of my room and was sniffing and looking around like she was looking for him. I would definitely recommend him for anyone!
Laura was so so wonderful with our dog and he clearly loved her. She stayed with him for the weekend, and she was on top of his walks, medication and monitoring post surgery. She was incredibly responsive and sent great updates throughout the weekend. We would love to book Laura again!!
