“Laura took great care of our two doggies! She was very communicative and I felt comfortable having her at our place. Look forward to booking with her the next time we need a pet sitter!”


“This review is LONG overdue - but I wish I could give Kate 200 stars! She was awesome! Our house/dog sitter we've used for years left for college and we were in a jam to find someone for a trip in August. I am INCREDIBLY anxious about having strangers not just in our home, but caring for our 3 dogs. I had a horrible experience about 10 years ago - I'd left my little chihuahua mix with a friend's family to watch while I was traveling for work and they accidentally left the front door open - little Biscuit got out and was hit and killed by a car. Devastated and scarred is an understatement to how that has impacted me when leaving my furry babies with anyone since. But Kate was warm and lovely and cared for our brood like they were her own. We have a large (HYPER) german shep, a smaller 30lb dingo sized mutt, and a small Chiweenie:) Our home was taken care of, our dogs were safe and happy, and we couldn't have been more thrilled to have found someone we can trust! We will eleventy gajillion percent use Kate again! <3”


“Cassandra provided wonderful care to my sweet boys ;) Plenty of pictures and updates were sent and all activities well documented. Will definitely book with Cassandra in the future!”



“My dogs and kitty were just as happy and healthy as when I left. Karen was very communicative and responsive with any questions and left my house in good shape as well. Thanks again for taking good care of my little zoo!”


“Shelli was so great taking care of our little guy on our first trip away since we got him. She made us feel at ease knowing he was being taken care of and having lots of fun by sending us pictures and videos. Can’t recommend her enough!!”


“Alyssa is a sweetheart and took such great care of Elmo. She sent us pictures of him and progress reports to let us know that even though he has separation anxiety he did well with her. She's a great photographer by the way. Thanks Alyssa!”


“Amir overnighted with my 2 large neurotic dogs over New Years. He was super attentive to specific meds and feeding regimes, as well as their PTSD with fireworks and noise. I felt confident leaving them to Amir and came home to happy dogs and a clean house. Recommend!”


“Diana took excellent care of my 3 year Australian Cattle Dog for 6 days. She was great about making sure she had all the details for his care and instantly had a great connection with him. She was incredibly respectful while staying at my apt and went above and beyond.”



About: Hi, I'm Abby! I've been an animal lover my whole life, and I've been taking care of pets in various settings (in-home, daycare, boarding, dog-walking) for more than ten years. I specialize in multiple-pet households, but whether you have one pet or five, rest assured they'll each receive the best care possible. I'm extremely detailed (I love a comprehensive info sheet!), and I ask the right questions up front, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets are in good hands. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time and energy to devote to your pets. I prefer to work weekdays, Monday-Friday, but I am also available for longer in-home stays over the weekend with enough notice. I take your pet's health and safety very seriously, which is why I make sure I understand not only what their immediate needs are (food, water, exercise, enrichment), but also what potential stressors might be (loud noises, other animals, etc.). I gather as much information as I can up front, so I can anticipate your pet's needs as they arise. Knowing where the cleaning materials, trash, emergency numbers, and security items (crate, leash, carrier) are in your home gives ME peace of mind and makes my job that much easier. Once I have all the info I need, while you're gone, I can check back in with you as much or as little as you prefer -- I'm happy to send updates throughout the day, or I'm just as happy to take care of things myself and provide a summary when you return. Either way, I make sure both you and your pet(s) enjoy your time away!

“Tresha was Awesome! She’s responsive! On time! Mellow with the pups. She sat our three dogs while we were away for the day throwing our sons party. Appreciate Tresha booking with us on such short notice.”


“Evynn is wonderful! She loves dogs as much as my husband and I do, and she cared for my dogs like they were her own. I was able to enjoy our weekend away because I could rest easy knowing that our pups were safe and loved. Evynn sent us frequent pictures and videos to keep us updated during her stay. We appreciate that very much! We look forward to having Evynn dog-sit and house-sit for us again!”



“Lucia was wonderful and deserves 10 stars if I could give them!! From the start she responded quickly to my request, we set up a meet and greet to see if we were the right fit and I knew right away she would be great. We met a second time before leaving so the dogs would be familiar with her and it went off without a hitch! In addition to walking the dogs, sending me photos and videos and updates, I came home to a wonderfully clean home. I can tell she even ran the vacuum over the floors before our return (this did not go unnoticed - with two hairy dogs and black bamboo floors throughout the house every hair shows). I cannot recommend Lucia highly enough!!! It was such a relief to know my furbabies and my home were in good hands!! We will definitely be requesting her services again!”


“Nick was absolutely fantastic while house sitting for Gus and Goji this past weekend! He followed every instruction to a T, showed up right on time for each visit, and took the boys on plenty of walks. He kept me updated with pictures and made sure the pups were well cared for while I was away. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such responsible and thoughtful hands. Highly recommend!”


“This is the first time I used a dog sitter in our house. I can tell it went super well by the body language of my dog Oscar toward Mario. I was happy to hear Oscar spent the night beside or in the bed like he does with us. Mario earned the trust of Oscar and that makes me feel happy. The house was exactly the way it was when we left. I strongly recommend Mario to anyone who needs an excellent dog sitter. I will definitively use him again in the future.”


About: I'm an animal whisperer, of sorts. The dog that doesn't like anyone, 10 minutes in will be my bestie. I've rescued squirrels fallen from trees, I've played fetch with a dolphin, I've snuggled with a wild sea lion on a beach.. I was born into a house of cats and dogs, and took my first K9 handler training with my German Shepherd when I was 10. I have raised and trained many others since, and my first two huskies lived a healthy and unheard of 15 years! Now I live in a huge 6 bedroom house with a husky and a corgi mix, and two very sweet female humans. The house features a doggie door to the fully fenced, beautiful backyard, and was fully designed for dogs. They roam freely inside and outside as they please all day, but are generally napping on the couch, sun bathing outside our window, or playing fetch with one of the awesome pet loving people that live here! I generally work from home, and live with a couple of girls who love dogs as much as I do, so there should always be someone here to give them plenty of love! For boarding, our yard is fully fenced and the dogs have a doggie door for free roam of the air-conditioned house and large yard, where they will interact with our dogs and other pet loving people. There is always fresh water, lots of comfy beds and toys throughout!

About: Ive been a dog sitter and walker for over 9 years before joining this app. From puppies to seniors and with different health needs, I have the experience needed to take care of your pup. I live in downtown Long Beach and understand the needs of different types of dogs from the overly friendly to very reactive and can accommodate to the dog’s needs accordingly. I currently have a 9 year-old husky and 4 month-old chihuahua mix I take care of at home. I’m currently in between jobs and have a lot of time on my hands. My time is most free during business hours but I am happy to accommodate to your scheduling needs. I currently live in an apartment. While it is a bit cramped, my husky is not territorial in the least and guest pups have an easy time accommodating to the space. If I am in someone else’s home, I will make sure to adhere to the rules and guidelines they provide me to take care of their pup(s).


About: Pets are family and animals are my life! I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in pet care is from having my own pets as well as caring for family and friends pets. I'm currently employed by Trots Dogs Walking, which has added to my knowledge and experience. I provide safe, nurturing care for all animals. I’m friendly and trustworthy putting pets and their families at ease with reliable, loving care. I'm currently working part time as a dog walker for Trots Dogs, so I have plenty of down time throughout the week to pet sit and love your furries. I follow the specific instructions and guidelines, ensuring all pets are safe, well-fed, exercised, loved, and comfortable. I make sure each and every family pet member is taken care of just like you would.

“We will only leave our pups with Serenity from now on! She really goes above and beyond not only with the animal care but taking care of our home. There was a freak storm while we were out of town and she helped us out by covering all the furniture and then taking all the tarps off the next day making sure everything was safe and sound. Thank you so much Serenity!”

Abigail A.

“I recommend Abigail without reservation as a pet sitter, pet care giver. Abby cared for our two aging cats, one with hyperthyroidism requiring oral pill delivery and a feeding schedule every 5 hours. The other cat liked to escape to the outside. Abigail is trustworthy with your home and your pets. Your pet(s) will look forward to Abigail’s arrival and care. Sincerely Retired Human Resource Director”

Californial Heights pet parents share their Rover experiences
Sophia took great care of my senior yorkie while I was on vacation. She provided daily photos with updates, which I greatly appreciated. We were away for a week and when we returned our home was clean and tidy and our fur baby was well taken care of. Will definitely book again in the future!

Having Samantha sit for us has been so wonderful! She takes such sweet care of our dog Gemma and the house is always in beautiful shape when we return. She is very responsive and sends the best photos of their time together. Highly recommend her and we are very grateful!

Mary Alice was very professional and respectful of our home while house sitting our dog. She kept us up to date on what was happening while we were gone, both with our pet and stuff around the house. She sent us photos along the way too. Mary Alice is very knowledgeable about taking care of pets and I will gladly have her house sit again!

Nick was absolutely fantastic while house sitting for Gus and Goji this past weekend! He followed every instruction to a T, showed up right on time for each visit, and took the boys on plenty of walks. He kept me updated with pictures and made sure the pups were well cared for while I was away. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such responsible and thoughtful hands. Highly recommend!

Stephanie is amazing! She is communicative, clean, and super engaged with pet care. She sent lots of picture updates and even handled a surprise situation (building evacuation because of false fire alarm) with incredible kindness, responsibility, and communication. The house was spotless, anything that was used was washed and put back where found. The only way I know she was here was because of how free of cat odor the place was (builds up fast) and how little my cats seemed to care that we had returned (well played and entertained for almost a week). Truly amazing
