“Lupita is incredible. Our dog is very sweet but can be difficult when away from us due to separation anxiety. Lupita is patient and definitely a dog whisperer. The pics she sent us while we were out showed that he was able to relax with her. She earned his trust enough that he was willing to eat his food while we were out, which is not a usual occurrence. Lupita is also extremely responsive via the app, which is very much appreciated. Will definitely be using her again!”
“Grace was amazing. She came to meet me and Priya before my vacation, coordinated with another friend to be there when Priya was getting dropped off, was super responsive, and sent a ton of pictures. I'm confident Priya has a great time while I was out of town!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and had my own dogs since I was two years old. I often am asked to pet sit for my friends and neighbors animals. I am extremely patient and kind. Currently a college student with lots of free time. I am available almost any day and any night. I have lots of availability and time. I am in an area with lots of trails and areas for walks. I am within walking distance of a park. My house is clean and pet safe!
“Dylan was awesome! Very communicative, caring and conscientious. We left Dylan with an old, sickly kitty, with multiple meds and they handled all her needs reliably, along with the 3 other furry pets and a fishtank. When we arrived home, everyone was relaxed and unstressed. We have already rebooked!”
“Celeste was amazing with our three dogs with their varied and specific needs. She was wonderful and very responsive with communication and it made for a relaxing vacation. She’s the best!”
“David is easygoing and helpful. He cared for our rescue pup who developed a double ear infection and needed some extra attention and medication. David handled it all and left our house clean. We give two paws up!”
“Marley took great care of Lola while we were out of town for two full weeks, and it was during a heat wave! Marley is very adept at handling dogs with anxiety and reactivity, so it gave us great peace of mind that Lola was in her care. We look forward to having Marley house and dog-sit again!”
About: Hi! I am an adventurous person looking for new experiences while caring for pets of all kinds. I have been around animals my entire life and love them dearly. My cat recently passed away and it has been a huge change not caring for an animal since I had her for 18 years. I am a trustworthy person. I don’t party, drink, or smoke. Your home and pets will always be taken care of while I’m there. I enjoy nature so walking and hiking are apart of my daily life. Your pups will always get walked for the time you recommend. I hope to meet you soon and be of service to you and your pet babies! I’m currently have a flexible schedule so please reach out so we can set up the best time and days that work best for you. I can easily follow whatever directions are given to me. My goal is to care for your pet just as if it is you caring for it yourself. I’m comfortable going to houses and can send updates to assure you they are taken care of.
“Lisa was so great with Luna boy! We are grateful for her communication, pictures, kindness and reliability. We can tell Luna enjoyed her. Would definitely recommend and use Lisa again to watch our pups! :)”
“Vlad was kind, attentive, and very trustworthy with my precious dog, Melody. I have a hard time trusting people with her care, and Vlad exceeded my expectations and did such a wonderful time. Was very thoughtful and communicative. I will work with him again.”
“Emily was great! Abe was a happy boy when I got home.... place was very clean and organized, and sheets were put in the washing machine! Her communication was excellent - every day I got a pic and quick update. She noticed him licking his paw and saw it was red, so we were able to get some wipes to clean it which she did daily until I got home. Look forward to booking again!”
“Took excellent care of our German shepherd which is no easy feat. Book Cassidy and travel with the peace of mind that your furball living his or her best life. 11/10 will be booking again!”
About: I took care of dogs since I was 8. My family taught me how to make sure the dogs are fed, given water, administering oral medications, walking; etc. I also house trained my current dog. I’m currently working part-time so I’ll have plenary of free time on my plate. I usually work in the evenings. Sometimes I get called to work when needed I take my dog out for 30-45 minute walk twice a day, gave her chew brush biscuit after each walking sessions. I checked her bowl once or twice a day to ensure her water and foods are there for her to eat. I also brush Claire’s hair once a day.
About: I have learned so much about caring for dogs and cats. I love giving all babies the attention they need. They are safe in my hands. I currently work part time as a receptionist 3 days a week. I also attend Cosmetology school 4 nights a week. In my free time I would be walking or sitting dogs I would carefully read the pet descriptions to identify any needs the pet may need. If I were to have any questions I won’t hesitate to contact the owner
“One of the best Rover experiences to date. Tracy is a very sweet natured person, I could tell she was genuinely taking good care of Jimmy, with picture updates throughout the day, I felt very comfortable knowing Jimmy was in good care. I also very much appreciate that I came home to a very clean house. 12/10 would recommend Tracy!”
“Melanie is an excellent house and pet sitter! She spent a lot of time with our fur babies; feeding them and taking them on walks. She followed all of our instructions perfectly and even kept us up to date with check-ins and photos!”

We are SO grateful for Marley! She truly saved our trip to Santa Cruz. The hotel had strict pet policies, and we found ourselves in need of a last-minute dog sitter—and Marley came through in the best way possible. Our dog Teddy is usually very skittish and shy around new people, but Marley was so calm, kind, and patient with him. She took her time, made him feel safe, and before we knew it, he was completely comfortable with her and went on serval walks through the day! It was such a relief knowing he was in caring, capable hands. Look forward to using her service again! Thanks again! Marley went above and beyond our expectations—we were able to enjoy our trip without worry, and Teddy was in great hands the entire time. Highly, highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate dog sitter!
AnnMarie is a kind and caring sitter. Whether she’s walking our dog, or doing overnight stays with our pets, she’s uber-reliable, easy to work with and our pets love her. We just returned from an overnight trip and our pets were calm and happy; and our home was immaculate. You can trust AnnMarie. She’s great
We were very grateful to have Heidi stay with our two dogs while we were out of the country. Right before we left my dog unfortunately needed to have surgery and was still healing. Heidi administered her medicine and kept the cone on until she was fully healed. Heidi was on time and sent photos of our babies while we were away. She’s got a very easy going personality, which was great for me. The house was kept tidy and she cleaned the bedding before she left. Communication was great. She also looked after our chickens, which was a bonus. We will use Heidi again in the future.
Cody was very sweet and calm natured, my dogs took to him immediately. I had complete peace-of-mind while they were in his care as he house-sat. He was respectful of my space, and my boys were well-cared for. Thank you, Cody! I would give you 10 stars if I could!!
