“Thanks so much to Genevieve for dropping in to feed and play with Bert on my last minute request, she was able to follow my instructions perfectly and sent me lovely photos and videos of Bert letting me know he was happy, healthy, and looked after. Will definitely be calling on her to drop in again if I need it.”
“Erika is a wonderful dog sitter! I really appreciated her going above and beyond with my anxious pup. I would highly recommend her for your Rover needs, and I look forward to working with her again in the future!”
“Lynn has been a fantastic sitter now. This is the second time I’ve asked her to watch my two cats and I will definitely be asking her again :) she takes lots of cute pictures and is extremely communicative. Thanks Lynn!!”
“This was Carolina's first time caring for my two girls. She took photos that were reassuring for me to look at and know they were in great hands with Carolina. She was able to win over my shy girl almost immediately. Dogs are a good judge of character! I had a last minute change to my schedule and Carolina was more than accommodating and gracious handling the change. I look forward to Carolina caring for my girls again in the future! She is well qualified, responsive and very easy to work with. Awesome care!! Thank you Carolina!!! 🐕🐕”
“Sara was wonderful! She did a great job of communicating before and during her pet sitting, providing photos and updates throughout the day to make sure I knew my dog was well taken care of. She was flexible when I needed to change the time of a visit and overall had a warm disposition. I would definitely use her again!”
About: As a cat and dog mom who has hired pet sitters 🐱🐶, I know firsthand the importance of knowing your pet is safe and cared for while you are out. I will send a minimum of 7 photos every visit. My goal is to put your mind at ease that your pets are in great hands. I am able to administer medications during my visits.

I have raised my own pets, have pet sat for family, friends, and co-workers, have volunteered at animal rescues and animal shelters. Additionally, I have fostered multiple litters of kittens for the animal shelter. I am available to do visits anytime on Sat/Sun and Mon. I’m also available between 7pm and 9pm on Tue.-Fri.

“Carmen was wonderful with my two cats while I was away for the week. She sent daily photo updates and was very responsive when communicating. If you are looking for a pet sitter, I would absolutely recommend Carmen!”
About: I've grown up with dogs in my family for most of my life. Starting in 3rd grade, I had 2 bull terriers, a jack russell and shitzu mix, and once moved out of my parents' home a golden retriever and goldendoodles that I helped raise from birth. I work full-time, so weekends will work best. My weekends are not typically busy. I'm also available in the evening on weekdays barring any appointments/obligations. Please let me know your request details as soon as possible so I can accommodate. I am flexible according to your dogs' needs. So long as I have clear instructions for how to access/provide food and water, a suitable space inside/outside for potty breaks, etc. I also really like affectionate dogs and will give them as much pets as they need.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and absolutely love being with animals—it’s something that’s always felt second nature to me! I have experience dog sitting and have cared for pets in all stages of life, from energetic younger pups who need lots of activity to senior dogs who require medication, extra patience, and a slower pace. I was the primary caregiver for my own elderly dog, so I understand how important it is to meet pets where they are and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved! As a student with a flexible schedule and reliable transportation, I’m able to easily fit in walks, check-ins, or longer stays throughout the day. I also know how much I appreciate getting updates when I’m away from my own pets, so I’ll always do my best to keep you in the loop with messages and photos—whatever helps you feel at ease while you’re away! I live in a quiet, pet-friendly neighborhood that’s perfect for peaceful walks and outdoor time. My home is a calm, clean space with no other pets—so your dog will have my full attention. I have a fenced front yard with turf where dogs can safely play, along with plenty of indoor space for toys, lounging, or just hanging out in the AC to stay cool. Whether I’m watching your dog in my home or yours, I prioritize their comfort and safety at all times, and I always aim to create a low-stress, welcoming environment where they can feel relaxed and cared for!
“Our dogs and cats loved Ravit! It made our trip so much nicer to know that they were getting great care. Ravit even figured out how to get our incredibly picky dog to eat!”
About: I grew up with a dog and started taking care of him when I was 12. I love all dogs from the smallest to larger breeds. Me and my fiancé adopted two puppies last year so your dog will have lots of play time while boarding. Before we got our pups we were fostering other dogs, both puppies and seniors. I’m free most days of the week as I’m working from home. I‘ve always loved being around dogs and felt a genuine connection when intercated with one. Since I‘m working from home, I have plenty of time to take your dog on walks, to the park or to the beach. The closest dog park to my house is a 5-minute drive away, and the closest dog beach is 10 minutes away. I will make sure your dog has lots of fun! I’m working from home every day except Tuesday. On Tuesdays I’m available after 3pm. I’m available on most weekends but please make sure to reach out 4 days in advance. I live in an apartment with plenty of space for small/medium dogs. There is an unfenced yard for potty breaks and a dog park 5 minutes away from my place.
About: High-quality care for each dog’s unique needs. I ensure safe and engaging environment. Fully bonded and insure, I prioritize the safety and happiness of you and your furry- friend. Im currently in college to get my associates degree in photography (I can take cute pictures of your fur buddy) I’m looking for a job to earn some extra money and I think that there is no better way to do it than taking care of pets. I love animals, been around dogs and cats all my life and think i can accomplish a good pet-sitter job. My pet, Blondie is my mom’s certified service dog, even when i’m not the dog master, I know how to treat her special needs. I got experience doing different task on her, like potty training, medication management, grooming and food preparation.
“Skye was a great cat sitter!! She took really good care of my cat Mia while I was gone for the weekend. She fed Mia her special mix of food, gave Mia tons of attention and pets, tried to play with her as much as possible (Mia can be quite stubborn), and took care of any extra requests I had. Will definitely be booking again in the future!”
About: Hi, I’m Brittnee! 🐶✨ Dogs have been my greatest joy and constant companions for over 15 years. From training and showing dogs as a kid to rescuing my sweet girl from Oklahoma and bringing her all the way to San Diego for the beach life she deserves, caring for fur babies is part of who I am! I have experience with every age and personality, from puppies learning the ropes to gentle seniors who need extra love and patience. I’ve always had at least two dogs in my life, so I’m more than comfortable caring for multiples and giving each one the individual attention they need. Walks, playtime, training, snuggles, whatever makes your pup happy is what makes me happiest, too. 🥰 I’d love to get to know your furry best friend and make sure they’re safe, loved, and having a blast when they’re with me! I’m currently working from home full-time. I usually head to the gym before or after work and go for an hour walk each day. I’m super active so I love it even more when I have a dog to do it with! I’m very detail-oriented, so any specific requests or needs that your pup has, I’m more than happy to accommodate! Please just let me know what you need and I’ll do my absolute best to make sure it happens 🥰

Missy was wonderful with my cats, they adored her from the start and were so comfortable around her. She took such thorough care of them making sure their food, water, and litter were always perfect, and she also spent extra time giving them love and attention. It really felt like she cared for them as if they were her own. I had total peace of mind while I was away, and I’d recommend her to everyone!
Jessie is a fantastic cat sitter—we've hired her 5 times in the last two years. She communicates well, is punctual, and has a pleasant demeanor. She understands cat behavior, plays with our cat, and quickly got him active again. Jessie sends regular updates, adapts to changing instructions, and is highly reliable. We highly recommend her for anyone needing a caring sitter.
Marcie is a true animal lover and did a great job again looking after our cats. The boys bonded with her pretty much instantaneously and were very happy to spend time with her. Marcie also administered medication to one of our cats, handled any mess they created, and left the house in a great shape. It was great to know our cats were well looked after and we look forward to working with Marcie again!
Princess is great with cats who have medical issues! My cat has asthma and needs an inhaler twice a day a day and she is great at doing it. She makes me feel safe and not worry when I’m away. Exactly what you want in a pet sitter. She even knows first aid, etc. Princess rocks!!!
Nicole was the absolute best with our puppy! Our girl is a bit of a handful and I thought that Nicole was super patient and dedicated to making sure she followed our routine. I could tell our puppy felt so comfortable with her and I swear her listening and training even improved while we were gone! She truly went above and beyond our expectations and I will definitely be booking her anytime we are out of town in the future.
Julia did drop-in visits on my dog over a short weekend. From the moment we met, she was very nice, calm, and attentive to Teddy’s needs. She sent pictures & updates and took great care of Teddy. She was prompt and communicative. I am very glad I found her and will definitely feel confident and comfortable leaving Teddy in her care again.
Lorenza helped take care of Kitty well my husband and I were away for a two week trip. I can tell my cat enjoyed her company. Lorenza seems to have lot of experience with cats and you can tell as my cat seem happy and healthy when we came back to great after our trip. I highly recommend this Rover. She was able to accommodate us last minute when our previous sitter had and emergency and we felt very comfortable with her.
Andi was so great all around! She stepped in when I had a last-minute work trip and took great care of my cat, Clifford. She’s definitely a pet person and he took to her right away. She was also very communicative and understanding when I had a bunch of crazy schedule changes. Highly recommend her as someone responsible, kind, and cat-approved!
I am a first time Rover user. After my friend has to cancel sitting at the last minute, I decided to check out the site. Monica's profile was one of the first I saw, and I was immediately drawn to her to her profile. The reviews were overwhelmingly positive, and I understand why. Monica was incredibly caring, attentive, and reliable. She was communicative throughout my trip, and, when I came home, I could tell my three cats were very well looked after. She provided daily updates with photos and videos, brushed my cats, played with them, and ensured they were fed and their water stayed full. I have never hired a pet sitter before as I have always had friends stay at the house, but after our meet and greet, my anxieties about leaving them with a sitter were gone. I will absolutely be using Monica again in the future. Your pets are in great hands with her!
Lilly was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly friendly and took the time to visit our home and get to know our cat before the booking. She was very attentive, gentle, and made sure our cat felt safe and comfortable. We really appreciated her thoughtful updates.
