“I can’t say enough good things about the care my dog Domino has received. I feel completely relaxed and at ease knowing he’s in such good hands. Domino can be a little particular, but the patience, attention, and genuine love he’s shown makes all the difference. I truly appreciate the updates and how comfortable and content he looks. It’s such a relief to travel and know he’s not just being watched—he’s being cared for. Highly recommend!”


“We had Kaitlyn watch our pups twice and each time she was just amazing. The second stay was a longer stay and she put us at ease with constant check ins and pictures. We think our dogs loved her more than us at times 😅 highly recommend her to watch your furry friends!”


“Christina was an absolute gem to have house sit for us. This was the first time we’ve had someone house sit and the ease we felt with her was amazing. Our pup was very nervous but Christina patiently waited and gave her her space until she opened up. She was communicative and very understanding!”


“Mary took great care of my pets and communicated with me about how they were doing, and she sent daily pictures. She was also very flexible when our travel plans changed, and even made the change request for me on the Rover app when I couldn’t figure it out. She also left a lovely note and a pretty vase of dried flowers. We will definitely request her for future pet sitting needs!”


“Everything went smoothly. Chelsea visited twice ahead of time to get to know the dogs before our trip. Any questions I had before the trip were responded to quickly, and communication while we were gone was timely. Thank you, Chelsea!”


“Wow! What a relief to have found Victoria! She is kind and sweet, loves animals and was so sweet to mine! I was able to go on a last minute trip with my family and relax knowing they were in good hands!”


“We have 2 senior dogs and had our 3 y/o frenchie granddog that Faith cared for through the holidays. We came home to 3 well cared for pups. I will be happy to use her in the future. She is responsible and has a gentle way with the senior dogs. She comes highly recommended!”


“Jace is great. We have booked multiple house sittings with them. Photos and updates are provided regularly. Our dog and home are both well cared for by Jace each time. Highly recommended!”


“Sara was amazing keeping me updated on Maddie’s wellbeing. When she met Maddie I could tell she loved animals. It was a load of my heart that my baby was cared for so well. Thanks Sara. Appreciate your help and thanks for the pictures.”


About: I’ve taken care of my own pets for 10+ years and have pet sat multiple times for neighbors. I have taken care of pets of all ages! I am currently unemployed for the summer and have tons of free time to care for your pets! I am available to housesit most if not all days of the week. I have a fenced in yard and one very friendly golden retriever to keep your pups company! I also own cats that can be put away if necessary. I am also able to crate animals if needed!

“Elise was awesome with my pets. I have four dogs and have never left them with anyone before. She stayed overnight with them and took very good care of them. I can’t wait to plan my next trip knowing that I can depend on Elise to take care of my fur babies.”


About: I've had dogs since I was a kid and always just been obsessed with my own dogs, friends and families and dogs I see out in public. I have 2 small senior pups that I adopted from a senior shelter 2 years ago, they are 11 and 12 and are my world. I've had other dogs during my childhood and teenage years, as well as cared for friends and family's dogs while they have been on vacation and out of town. I'm currently working part time so I have plenty of time to care, walk, sit, and give your dogs a potty break. I have a lot of availability, so I'd love to care for your pup. Since one of my dogs is reactive, I only do pet sitting and visits in your home. This allows your pet to stay comfy in their own space, and I can give them all the love and attention they deserve without introducing any stress from unfamiliar dogs.

About: From tiny chihuahuas to great pyrenees mixes, puppies to seniors, I’ve cared for dogs across all sizes, ages, and temperaments. Some need playtime and belly rubs, others need special diets or a gentle routine. I’ve worked with both healthy dogs and those with mild medical needs, and I always adapt to meet their individual pace and comfort. My experience with pets spans years through volunteering, helping friends and family, and raising my own sweet girl Opal, who has since passed. Since then, caring for other people’s pets (and fostering a few) has become a way to keep that love present in my life. I work a regular 8–5 job, but I’m available most weekends and can often make weekday visits work with a little notice. Whether your dog needs a walk, company, or a cozy overnight sitter, I’ll show up with kindness, patience, and care. Availability • Weekends: Fully available • Weekdays: 4am- 7am and 6pm-10pm If alternative hours are needed, please feel free to share and I will do my best to adjust! I create a safe, loving, and comfortable environment tailored to their needs. I ensure they have plenty of playtime, cuddles, and attention while maintaining a consistent routine for feeding, potty breaks, and exercise.

“Amelia was great! She has watched my dogs twice now in my home and both time she has been super attentive. She made sure they had lots of outdoor time and left the house neat and clean. Could not recommend her more!”


“Lilly is an amazing sitter! We loved having her for our two dogs, Reagan and Mollie. She kept us informed throughout her stay and sent lots of pics with them snuggled up on her. They definitely loved her company. Highly recommend :)”


About: I've had pets all of my life. I've been around cats since I was born, had dogs since I was 9, and went to school for animal science (Cal Poly SLO) and to become a vet tech. I've had a handful of pet care jobs, mostly doggy daycare and professional pet bathing, where I worked with dogs great and small (and every size in between). I've helped take care of dogs while they were boarding at the daycare by cleaning their rooms, making sure they always had water and a cozy bed, and feeding them according to their parent's instructions (as well as play with them and take them on walks). With schooling I became skilled at administering medications, doing bandages, and I am confident with my CPR skills. I am comfortable with all breeds and most temperaments (as long as they're not people aggressive, that's fine!). Whether your senior dog needs some assistance with pottying or your puppy needs an extra run when you're at work, I'm happy to provide my services. Between the hours of 6am and 10pm I am open to stop by and check in on your pet or take them on a nice long tiring walk. While I do not sit for pets at my house I would care for clients pets like they're my own. I would follow the rules given to me down to a T, your pet will always be safe in my hands.

About: I come from a long line of dog-lovers and have been taking care of 2 of my own pups before moving. Have dealt with senior, puppies, and teens! Love spending time with any baby and would love to get to know yours-Understanding that each and every pup is different and special! Currently working part-time and full-time college student. I would most likely be available to babysit overnight and after 6pm and can try to do weekends as well. If anything, I am big on communication and can assure that I will always try to work with my clients. Due to having a single apartment on campus, your fur baby will have much lots of space to roam around inside and out. Depending on how social your pup is, there will be plenty of options whether they prefer to stay inside and chill or socialize with other dogs on campus! Toys and a comfy bed will be provided as well:)

About: I have loved and cared for pets my whole life. My first pet memory is on the floor with a litter of pups all over me. I’m older now and retired so I’m happy I found this opportunity. I’m home all day(and night) anyway so I’ll have something to keep me company and busy. I am adding to my profile now that I have some professional experience under my belt. My best memories of my pet keeping experiences are when my client comes to pick up their furbaby and say something like” OMG, he/ she is so relaxed! “ And it’s great because yes, they are so happy mom or dad is there to pick them up but there’s no trembling or upset. One of my favs is when the furbaby was so happy to see dad but she kept running back to me as if to say “ look look, it’s dad, come on let’s go home!!” She even threw herself at my feet and presented her tummy! I have to admit I was holding back tears as she drove away, and I’m so proud of me(lol)!! I tell anyone who will listen how much I love my job. I have a medium sized fenced yard so potty breaks are no problem. I prefer house pets because of the heat here and there is a large unused den in the house where a crated pet can have quiet time when needed. caring for peoples furbabies is a much needed pick me up! I love them all Taking them out for walks is almost the highlight of my day. Some furbabys are serious about their walks too! One little guy , if he went potty real soon and I tried to head for home it was so so funny I mean the disgusted look on his face and his tail down just dejected! I would have to make it up to him the next walk and he would hold me to it. That’s another thing I love about them all, they could not hold a grudge or pout for more then a minute or two. All I need do is offer a belly rub and we are friends again. In my home I want your baby to feel at home. It’s just me and my granddaughters so they get almost undivided attention from me. I feel like I’m a gramma figure to them, I don’t have to scold or chastise or anything else. The one behavior I really don’t care for is barking and the worst I have had to do is a spray with plain water. Accidents in the house? I just protect what they have chosen to wet or whatever, if it’s solid I pick it up and put it back on a peepad so they get the message. Most do it the first day and they are so embarrassed how would I look scolding on top of it? Putting plastic down is no big deal. I have one antique table that is now permanently wrapped because I won’t do without my table and I refuse to get upset at the baby’s when they can’t help it because of nerves or loneliness! I love them, furniture is just a thing!!

Riley R.
“To Prospective Clients, I am delighted to provide a personal reference for my daughter, Riley, who is offering her services as a dog walker and dog sitter through Rover. As Riley’s mother, I have seen first-hand her natural connection with animals thanks to a lifetime of living with a variety of pets. Our family has included dogs, cats, a tortoise, a gecko, and, for a time, chickens. Riley has helped care for every one of them with patience, enthusiasm, and genuine love. Riley has always been surrounded by animals and has grown up with dogs, cats, a tortoise, and, for a time, even chickens. This extensive experience has given her a deep understanding of animal care and behavior, as well as the ability to handle a variety of pet personalities and needs. She is incredibly trustworthy and reliable. When Riley commits to caring for pets, she ensures their needs are met with the highest level of attention and kindness. She makes sure they are well-fed, given plenty of exercise, and, most importantly, cared for with patience and genuine affection. Animals naturally gravitate toward her gentle and caring manner. If you are looking for a compassionate, dependable, and animal-loving person to look after your furry (or feathered or scaled!) family members, I wholeheartedly recommend Riley If you have any questions or would like to speak further about Riley's experience, please feel free to contact me. Sincerely, Anna Ramseier”

iris f.
“I can’t recommend Iris enough as a pet sitter! Iris babysits my two German Shepherd mix dogs when I go out of town. She is so loving and sweet! My boys get so excited to see her when she comes over! They absolutely adore her. She always has a little photo shoot with my boys to show me how their day is going and what they’re up to. I love to see how happy my boys are with her and how much Iris truly cares. She is reliable, attentive, and always goes above and beyond to make sure the boys are happy and well cared for. It gives me peace of mind knowing she’s with the boys.”

Ryan D.
“Ryan is an incredibly trustworthy caretaker when it comes to animals due to her education, experience, and passion. I would definitely trust her to properly take care of my own pets and treat them like family.”


Mayahuel G.
“I can't recommend Maya enough as not only is she kind to all animals she meets but they all tend to take a natural liking to her. I have three dachshund's that she takes care of and there are times when they listen to her more than me! Maya always makes sure to write down and keep track of each specific dog's quirks so she can handle them with the upmost care and treats them as if they were her own children. Maya will also always feed them at the specific time and will send me picture updates every so often to make sure the dogs are doing ok. Only one of my dogs veinna likes toys so she'll always make sure to play with her but will give attention to all three at the same time so my dogs won't feel left out. I can't recommend enough she has been an absolute blessing for my dogs.”


Juliet F.
“When I was a teenager my brother brought home and promptly abandoned 2 dogs he thought were purebred. My mom couldn't take them to the pound so she kicked him out and kept the dogs. My mom took them and got them fixed and shots, unfortunately the female was already pregnant. At one point we had 12 dogs running around our little yard. My mom treated them all like they were her children, spoiled them rotten! She would take them to the park on her days off so they could get a good run, our yard was so small. When she and her husband started driving a big truck long haul, at first she boarded the dogs but soon they resolved that wasn't any good, our dogs were so unhappy. Luckily a friend of theirs had a dairy ranch outside of town and he told us he would take Bearbear and Precious. We all went to see them about a month later and you had never seen two happier animals! Come to find out Bearbear was a herd dog and they had a dairy ranch. Precious was a little put out but Bear was the happiest we'd ever seen him. Sincerely, Rose”
