“I had a great experience with Chunli! She was incredibly considerate of my home and treated it with the utmost respect while caring for my dog. I truly appreciated the thoughtful daily updates and photos — it was so reassuring to see how well taken care of my pup was while I was away. I could tell she went above and beyond to make sure both my dog and my home were in great hands.”
“Kim did an amazing job watching our dog Ruthie while we were gone! Ruthie was super happy and we had peace of mind knowing she was so well taken care of. Kim also left the house super clean, we couldn’t be happier!”
“Patrick was an amazing dog and house sitter! He bonded with our dog right away, kept the house spotless, and sent regular updates that put our minds at ease. We came home to a happy dog and a well-kept home—he truly treated both like family, and we’ll definitely be booking him again!”
“Abi was amazing with our girl Nori. She took her on multiple walks per day, sent a lot of pictures and updates, and definitely took care of Nori and our apartment. We always love getting updates and knowing that our pup is being taken care of while we’re away. Couldn’t recommend Abi enough!”
“Allison did a pre-visit to meet our pup and was on time. She had a very relaxed but in control attitude with dog. Ended up watching our granddog too! They were relaxed and happy when we returned. I highly recommend Allison.”
“Claudia was amazing! If I could leave a 10 star review, I would. She house sat for us and took care of our cat and dog for multiple days over Thanksgiving. Our animals loved her instantly upon meeting her. I got lots of updates, photos, and videos. We will definitely be rebooking any time we need a Rover! Thank you, Claudia!”
About: I love animals, very responsible and will treat it as if it’s my own. Safe and comfortable home. Have had cats and dogs my whole life. You can be confident your baby will be in good hands. I work from home and your pet will be taken care of and kept in good company the entire time they’re away from you. You can travel with comfort. Your pet will be with me the entire time with a watchful eye and comfort, and they will feel like they are at home away from home
“Gregory was amazing during his stay with our Frenchie! He took him on walks and little adventures and we’ve never come home from a week long trip to a more happy and healthy doggo!”
“Brooke was absolutely amazing!!! We had a dog boarding reservation fall through the night before our trip and reached out to Brooke and heard back within minutes. She came over within 5 minutes to meet us and our dog, it was pretty late so we were so happy she was willing to take on a last minute sitting job and come over. It couldn't of worked out better! She is incredible. She updated us throughout the trip and honestly she is one of those people that from the moment you meet her, you can rest assured knowing your dogs in the best of hands. Another very important thing to note is that our dog is a 13 1/2 year old lab. He's got pretty bad arthritis, has a hard time sleeping through the night, and takes a large ziplock bag worth of medicine twice a day. After the first boarding fell through hours before, we met with 2 other boarding sitters at their home and just didn't feel comfortable given how special needs our boy is. We had ZERO concerns once we met Brooke. She was so good with him, it couldn't of worked out better! We weren't anticipating having a petsitter stay at our house but after the dog boarding fell through, it was our last hope before canceling trip and she was such a trooper! We didn't have to worry about anything, you could tell she loved dogs, was super trustworthy and reliable. We will definitely be booking Brooke again as long as she'll come back! Ha”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs and cats of all kinds. I’ve had three dogs of my own: a sweet German Shepherd, goofy Beagle, and rescue mixed breed from Mexico who has anxiety and special needs. I also have two cats who run the house! I previously worked at The Animal Keeper in Poway where I gained even more experience with animals of different sizes and personalities. I truly understand how much pets are part of the family and always care for them like my own. I’m currently working a hybrid job so I have some remote days throughout the week and flexible hours. I’m available for walks and drop-ins, during the week and I offer boarding and daycare on weekends and weekday afternoons after 2pm. I’m flexible and happy to accommodate to your pets schedule and needs. I’m used to working with pets who need extra patience and structure, especially my family’s rescue dog from Mexico with anxiety. I live with two cats (one with anxiety) so I know how to create a safe and peaceful space for animals to adjust. I always follow your preferences for safety and routines.
About: I am a current owner of a 4 year old golden retriever. I grew up with two dogs and have been taking care of dogs my whole life. I am super active and love walking and running. I'd love to care for your pup! I am available on weekday mornings and evenings and weekends for dog walking. I have a flexible work from home schedule so I can take care of your dog as needed and be attentive. I have experience walking dogs and caring for dogs. Raising a puppy, I know to keep an eye on them and make sure they are safe.
“Casey was absolutely incredible with my (almost) 16 year old Lhasa Apso. This was my first time using Rover or having anyone other than family and close friends watch my dog and I felt uneasy and uncertain hiring someone I didn't know to stay in my home and take care of my dog, especially now that she's a senior. Admittedly, I've been reluctant to take trips as my dog is aging and has more needs now. Casey made me feel very at peace with updates throughout my business trip including photos and messages. This allowed me to feel more comfortable being fully present with my trip. I will definitely use Casey every time I travel as long as she's available and now feel completely comfortable traveling again, for the first time in a few years.”
“Jamaica did an amazing job making Buster feel like family. She keep me up to date with fun pics of Buster's fun activities. Thank you so much for taking care of my family member”

McKenna B.
“McKenna is a caring and attentive pet sitter and has watched my dog Bowie several times. She has taken care of him both overnight and for a few hours while I was working. I received photo updates on their walks and immediate responses if I checked in. I know Bowie is in good hands with a fellow dog lover whenever he stays with McKenna.”

Cardiff pet parents share their Rover experiences
While I was away on my golf playing rounds, Eli looked after my dog wonderfully. Eli is such a kind and caring dog sitter. He treated my dog with so much love and attention, and I could tell my dog was happy and comfortable the whole time. I’m so thankful for him warm heart and excellent care. Highly recommended!
Kristin was such a tremendous help while we were away. She was wonderful with photo and video updates, supplies lots of cuddles to our girls and even took them on daily 2-mile walks (quite the feat, if you knew the energy of our youngest). She left our house as she found it, and we will absolutely work with her again. I highly recommend Kristin, but hopefully not during the windows we have in mind for her care 😉😅
We had another great experience with Kimberly watching our dog Driggs! Kimberly is super communicative, sends tons of photos, and followed all of our instructions to a T! Kimberly even went above and beyond to work on some of the training methods Driggs learned during obedience class! We felt totally comfortable despite traveling internationally because we knew Driggs was in good hands. When we arrived home, the house was spotless and Kimberly had even started the laundry for us which was so appreciated. Thank you, Kimberly!
We couldn’t be more grateful for the incredible care Jess provided while we were out of town. She watched our 3.5-month-old puppy and two cats, and from start to finish, she was everything we could have hoped for—flexible, responsive, kind, knowledgeable, and responsible. She clearly loves animals and took the time to engage with each of them in ways that made them feel safe and happy. Our pets adored her! In addition to providing excellent care for our animals, she was respectful and attentive to our home, leaving everything in great condition. It was such a relief knowing everything was in such capable hands while we were away. We would absolutely work with her again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and loving pet and house care.
Liam took amazing care of our pup—truly everything you could hope for in a sitter! He was communicative, reliable, and incredibly attentive to our dog’s specific needs. Our dog is 10 years old and requires daily medication and a strict diet, and Liam handled it all with thoughtful care and consistency. Most importantly, it was clear he genuinely loves animals. We felt completely at ease knowing our dog was in such good hands. Highly recommend!
Anika was awesome! She took great care of our dogs and our home. She sent sweet pictures of the animals and had great communication about how things were going. She was also extremely flexible when some unexpected changes happened with our trip and helpful with additional requests that we had forgotten. We will definitely be using her again in the future!
Alexander had a meet&greet with my dog Zola, before I booked her—-and the initial meeting went really well, which was a great sign. She was punctual for the assignment, and everything went smoothly. Zola was calm, happy, and clearly well cared for. I’ll definitely be booking with Alex again. Highly recommend!
