“Jan took excellent care of my cat and dog (who is a bit reactive). She demonstrated care and attention to both of them, going above and beyond to meet their needs. Jan was also a wonderful house sitter, taking care of our home as well while we were away. Thank you, Jan!”

“Katie was fantastic. We needed someone within the week and she booked a meet and greet asap and was ready to watch our boys. She took great care of our 2 dogs and our house. Our 1 dog is an angel but the other is a bit mischievous and can be a handful and she handled him effortlessly. We felt fully at peace while away knowing she was taking care of our dogs. 10/10 will be reaching out to her the next time we need a sitter here in a few weeks.”

“Forest did an amazing job caring for our pets. He made sure to keep to our detailed routine and was very good at communicating — asking questions to ensure he was doing try right things, sending photos and texting updates. Whether you have cats, dogs or chickens — or all those pets, Forest will take excellent care of them and leave your home tidy as well. I will definitely hire Forest again.”

“This was the first time leaving my 7-mo old kitten Toulouse alone for an extended period of time and I was a bit of a nervous Mom. Andrew is an obvious animal-lover and was responsive to any questions I had both before and during my trip away. He looked after her and my house well, and was patient with her friskiness. He even brought over his own cat toys so she could have new things to play with. Definitely a reliable pet-sitter for your needs.”

“Robyn was absolutely wonderful with Peggy. She went above and beyond to make sure Peggy was at ease while we were gone. She was on time and very communicative. It was such a relief when Peggy was absolutely excited to see Robyn the second day. Would 100% percent recommend Robyn! Thank you!!”

“Denise was amazing, super accommodating by meeting us at Hearst Castle parking lot and staying with our dog Mambo. She was on time, very patient and sweet with him. I would highly recommend her.”

“What a great dog sitter Joshuah was. It's so hard to leave and feel comfortable with my time away but Joshuah was perfect. He responded promptly every time I sent a message I appreciated that! I felt very comfortable with him here in my house for 5 nights...pictures daily”

About: I’ve taken care of pets for the past 5 years, ranging from puppies and kittens to senior pets needing medications. All pets are treated like family in my care, whether it’s a relaxing day at home or a fun day at the beach! I’m currently working a 7am-5pm weekday job, and I go home for lunches. My partner comes home around 4pm, and the property is shared with a retail store, whose owner loves to say hi during the day. I can be available in the early mornings, evenings, & weekends. Other times may be available upon request, especially if you live close to town, I can go over for a quick visit during my lunch break. I have a secure, fenced yard that is always at least half-shaded. I have a very friendly 1.5 year old border collie mix that will keep your pup occupied & enjoys sharing toys with friends.
“My 2 dogs and cat loved Mindy! We were away for a week and a half and Mindy took such good care of our furry family and home. We came home to a spotless house and our pets were happy and calm - a big difference from other pet sitter experiences. One of our dogs liked her so much that he kept looking to see if Mindy was still here after we got home! One of the pieces that really worked for our family is that Mindy works mostly remotely and so she was home with the animals most of the time and that helped them to feel safe and bonded with her. She watered plants, helped to communicate about roof construction that had to happen while we were gone, and alerted us to problems that came up. She was very professional all around. We feel so fortunate to have had Mindy here while we were gone. It was so lovely to be able to actually enjoy our time away without worry! Thank you, Mindy!”

“It's so nice to have a service like rover! We only had our new pup about a week and had to do an overnight. Kayla was great to step in and Koa was relaxed when we got home!! Thank you!”

“Kiah was incredible. Great communication, loving care for three aging doggies, and the house was spotless. I would book her again without hesitation. You and your pets will LOVE her warm and bubbly personality.”

“Pauline went "above and beyond" accommodating changes in our plans due to rain, and always responded quickly to my messages! Pauline & Richard showed up promptly for our house sitting -- they quickly bonded with our doodle who we knew was in good hands getting lots of play and attention. Many thanks again for the flexibility with weather rescheduling!!!”

About: Been around dogs my whole life! Have had my own golden a little over a year ago now so am well versed with puppy behavior and training. I love to stay active and used to bring my dog on hikes, play tug of war and go on long walks so if that sounds like something your dog would love the I’m your girl! Currently have full availability on weekends and after 6 PM on weekdays. Love to stay active and do lots of fun enrichment activities but also love a long mellow walk! I live in an area with a common area but am also really close to lots of great walks and hikes to walk and or go play some fetch!
“Gabi did a wonderful job house sitting Ola. I appreciate how communicative she was and how well taken care of Ola was. She provided peace of mind, and most importantly, I can tell she is really good with dogs. She also helped out with our cockatiel.”

“I highly recommend Makaela to house sit and care for your fur babies! Very professional and communicate. I’m sure your pet will love her just like my 4 year old husky does. If you are looking for house/pet sitting, you definitely want to use Makaela.”


About: I have over 4 years of dog care and dogsitting experience with all different ages and breeds. Additionally, I have my own 4y/o chocolate lab that I have had since he was a puppy! I also love cats and have one of my own! I am currently a student at Cal Poly, but I have a great balance between work and school. That being said, I am available Monday-Friday after 5pm, as well as all day on Saturday and Sunday! I am happy to do overnight stays as well! I currently cannot bring dogs into my own house, but I am more than happy to stay at your home and accommodate to any of your pets needs. Additionally, I have my own car for reliable transport and love to go on long walks or to the dog park!
