“This was our first time using Rover and we weren’t sure what to expect, especially when requesting service on short notice. John came over for a meet and greet, and our dogs were comfortable with him within minutes! He has an easy going, calm and gentle demeanor, which I think we can all appreciate. John came over the next morning right on time and we knew he’d take good care of our babies and our home. He kept us updated along with photos. Thank you for everything, John!”
“Luis is wonderful! My previous pet sitter told me that he is moving away last minute leaving me on full on panic mood 4 days before my trip. I contacted Luis through Rover (first time using Rover), he responded right away and was able to schedule a meet & greet the next day. One of my dog is diebetic and needs timed injectable medications twice a day, so i always get super nervous leaving him even with my regular sitter. Luis put me to ease just from the meet & greet, he asked a lot of questions took notes, and has a very calming nature (my dogs are a handful when they first meet people in our hosue). I received tons of updates and pictures, communication was on point! I will definitely keep booking with Luis and recommend him to my friends and family.”
“I was so nervous to leave my dogs as they all have anxiety or medical problems (maybe just I have the anxiety). Jaylynne followed instructions perfectly. With other sitters I always had to check in or ask for updates but Jaylynne sent me the best updates and pics throughout the day. I don’t think they even missed me. Jaylynne also left the house clean and provided me with a detailed update before leaving. Jaylynne made traveling super easy and I know my puppies had a great time with her. I recommend using Jaylynne!”
“We’ve used Heather a few times now and the pups are always very happy with her. They go on adventures every day and she sends lots of pictures. Would highly recommend!”
“Jinni is great! We weren’t sure how our toy poodle would handle spending time with a stranger (he can be a little shy and this was our first booking). We were so happy to see him hanging out on her lap shortly after we left! Clearly Jinni’s calm, easy energy made him feel right at home. :) Highly recommend!”
“Erika was AMAZING!! I get so anxious leaving my fur baby behind and she sent me so many updates and made me feel so at ease. Blackberry looked so calm and happy in the photos with her. Absolutely would recommend to anyone!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Amy was truly a dream. From start to finish, she went above and beyond in every way. She followed all of our instructions to a T—kept up with our pup’s training, stuck to her schedule, took her on long, enriching walks, and made sure she got plenty of love and structure. We received thoughtful daily updates with photos, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Not only was our dog incredibly well cared for, but our home was left spotless and orderly—it honestly felt like we came home to a reset space. She met our needs and then some. We would book with her again in a heartbeat and feel so lucky to have found someone so reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring. Highly recommend!”
“This was our second time using Patricia- she's excellent! Great communication and daily updates and pictures of George. This time she took him to sunset cliffs, he always looks so happy! Patricia takes such good care of our home we can never tell she was even there! Thanks again, Patricia!”
“This was our first time leaving our Weimaraner Freya with someone who wasn’t immediate family. She was a little bit anxious and Melissa was amazing at adapting the schedule to make sure that Freya felt the most comfortable. She sent updates and pictures which made us feel more at ease. We definitely will want to use Melissa again in the future!”
“Such an excellent and respectful house sitter! not only did they care for my 10 year old pitbull, but they left the house even more clean than when i left! would definitely hire again”
“Sara was great taking care of my pup keeping me updated on how he was doing while she was staying at my home. In addition, she is well-trained, and thus, was able to assist him doing bladder and bowel stimulation d/t his neurological injury. Thank you Sara!”
“Gina was great! She took care of our cat, Maui, for a week. She followed the written directions, never hesitated contacting us when she had a question and even sent a couple of pictures of Maui. Knowing that Gina was reliable gave us the reassurance we needed so that we could relax and enjoy our vacation. Thanks again Gina!”
About: I have taken care of all kinds of dogs and cats since i was an early teen. I’ve trained and kept them healthy and happy. Currently i have two cats and a husky that are very well behaved, non-reactive and happy. I’m a recent uni graduate who loves animals. I love taking care of them and staying active. I’m very easygoing and kind. I put a lot of effort into everything i do. I have a fenced backyard with plenty of space for dogs to walk around while inside. The house is very pet safe, no choking hazards around. I also live in a safe neighborhood that is perfect for walks, with a couple of parks around for dogs to get their sniffing and running done.
“Evelyn did a great job taking care of our dog and our home while we were away. She is very quick to respond and kept us updated with many pictures of walks, meals, meds, and naps. We will definitely be booking with her again.”
About: I've been caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds since I was 11, from walking and sitting to volunteering at a local animal shelter. With over 9 years of experience, I’m confident, caring, and always treat every dog like family. I’d love to help your pup feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away! I am a college student so my primary availability is Friday through Sunday for sitting. However, I do have some weekday mornings free for walks. I don’t board pets in my home, but I’m happy to care for them in yours! I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away, and I’m always happy to send updates and photos!
About: Hi there ! My name is Mai and I’ve been a lover of all animals ever since I can remember. I pride myself on being calm, patient, kind, intuitive and caring. These traits are why every animal I meet tends to quickly feel safe with me. Growing up, I had 1 American Eskimo spitz, 1 mini Aussie, 2 rats, 2 hamsters and 2 cats in all. I will love and care for your pet like it’s my own and can seamlessly adapt to any schedule ! Im currently looking for part time work (I’m a full time house manager/ nanny). My schedule varies but usually free 7 days a week with notice :) I can easily and happily adapt to any care taking needs that will make you feel the most comfortable when leaving me with your pet. I am an extremely trustworthy person. I know this to be true as I’ve been a nanny for infants to toddlers for 6 years now. I know these are human lives, but pets are your children and my intentions for a fostering a safe environment are the same. My goal is to make you feel worry free with me!
“Lynn took amazing care of our new kitty while we were away for the weekend! We always feel so at ease knowing that she is there and couldn’t recommend her enough.”
“Madeline took great care of our pets and home. She sent pictures and updates throughout the stay and left the home neat. Our dog and cat love her. We will definitely use her again.”
About: I grew up with dogs and can’t imagine life without them. Being around animals has always brought me a deep sense of calm and joy — it’s honestly my happy place. I have a special love for Terriers (I know how stubborn and sweet they can be!), and I’m very patient, especially with shy or older dogs who need a little extra time to feel safe. Whether it’s a playful pup or a senior dog needing gentle care, I treat every pet like family. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine — it’s something I truly enjoy. I’m available on weekends and most mornings, which works great for walks or check-ins. I also have the most free time on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I can be especially flexible on those days! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m always respectful of their space and routines. I understand the importance of boundaries — both for the pet and the home — and I do my best to keep things clean, calm, and comfortable.
“Kim stayed over at our home with our dog for 3 days. She took great care of her and kept our home clean and tidy during her stay. She was super responsive and sent us updates daily.”

Bird Land pet parents share their Rover experiences
Autumn was absolutely fantastic with our dog, Zoe. From the moment she arrived, it was clear how kind, attentive, and detail-oriented she is. She spent an entire evening caring for Zoe with such compassion and professionalism—it truly meant the world to us. Knowing Zoe was in such capable and loving hands gave us complete peace of mind. We can’t thank Autumn enough for the impact her care had on our family. Highly, highly recommend!
Shaan is incredible! They were available last minute to stay overnight with our new kitten. They left our place perfectly clean and our kitties happy, followed all care instructions, checked in with us often, and immediately made us comfortable to leave for a few days. This was our first time using Rover and we were so lucky to find Shaan! Highly recommend!
I can’t say enough good things about Trista. She took amazing care of both of my cats and an injured butterfly I was rehabilitating - talk about going above and beyond! Trista was incredibly communicative, kind, and attentive throughout the entire booking. She kept me updated every step of the way, and I could tell my pets were in loving, capable hands. It’s rare to find someone so sweet, reliable, and genuinely compassionate. I came home to happy, relaxed animals and a sense of total peace knowing they were so well cared for. Thank you, Trista!
Hollyanne and Donavan provided excellent care for my 2 dogs and my tortoise. I couldn’t be happier! My older dog is on anti-itch medicine, and I didn’t have enough to cover while I was gone, and the vet was out until after I left. Donovan went above and beyond and picked up the meds at the vets to make sure Dottie didn’t have a lapse. I got multiple pictures every day and plenty of updates. Dare I say, that maybe they were a little spoiled? ;-) My home was in immaculate condition and all the dog dishes and food puzzles were left sparkling clean. Highly recommended.
There is no one better to trust with your fur babies than Matthew. He took care of my 3 large dogs and home for a week while we were on vacation and was always quick to respond, share photos/videos, and most of all, just has an immense love and care for animals. It was so reassuring to have someone so trustworthy and who went above and beyond to make my pets feel cared for and loved. He truly treats them as his own and follows all directions needed and more, including medicine administration, and watering my plants as I requested. Matt was respectful of our home and just truly a great person all around. A true animal lover and you can see it in how comfortable all the animals are with him. I will definitely be hiring him again!
Alina jumped in short notice to help us out when our longer-term house sitter had an issue with her dates, and she did great with our disabled dog and elderly cat. Our dog wears orthopedic braces and can sometimes be grumbly about getting them on and off, but Alina managed her like a champ. Her communication was excellent and we appreciated the photos she sent. We’ll definitely have her back if she’ll have us!
Our dog felt so comfortable with Alyssa from when she first met her! We were staying in San Diego for the night at a hotel and she was an amazing sitter while we went out to eat. We were happy to receive text and photo updates to know she was happy and relaxed. Highly recommend Alyssa as a sitter! We would definitely rebook her if and when in the area.
Rachel was fantastic! She was able to watch our dog on short notice and took extra great care of our pup and kitty. She was very calm and nurturing with our dog, which really helped with her separation anxiety. She also was easy to communicate with and sent us lots of updates. We would definitely recommend her for dog and house sitting!
