Meghan went above and beyond all my expectations! I was leaving for a trip, and our dog sitter called out sick. Meghan gladly accepted our Bubba at the last minute. She regularly checked in with us, showing where he had walked, how happy he was with his new companion, and, most importantly, that he always had company. She was very communicative and understanding of his needs as an old Bubba American Eskimo.I would highly recommend Meghan to anyone needing a care giver for their furry baby. Thank you so much Meghan you're truly the best!!

We were so grateful to have Jennylyn take care of our cat while we were out of town. She responded to our messages promptly and kept us updated with regular photos and reports. Our cat can be quite sassy, mischievous, and not always friendliest, but Jennylyn was very patient and handled things wonderfully. We felt at easy knowing our cat was in great hands. We'd definitely book with Jennylyn again and recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.

Sarah definitely calmed our nerves of leaving our cat behind on a trip. She completed her drop-in visits on time, was very respectful to our house, and treated our cat like her own. We loved receiving the many pictures and videos she sent. I highly recommend Sarah if you're looking for a sitter to look after your cat with the utmost care.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I’m truly passionate about. Growing up, my family always had anywhere from three to five dogs at a time, which taught me from a young age how to love, care for, and be responsible for animals. Those experiences helped shape my deep appreciation for the companionship, trust, and joy that pets bring into our lives. As a dog mom myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. My dog, Tommy Lee, is my world and one of the most important parts of my life. Because I know how much she means to me, I understand how much your pet means to you. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where your pet feels comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away. When your pet is with me, they’ll be treated with the same love, attention, and care that I give Tommy every day🤎 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I primarily work remotely, which allows me to be home and present with pets throughout most of the day. While I occasionally need to be on-site for work, about 90% of my schedule is remote, giving me plenty of flexibility to provide attention, companionship, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of love. I also have a park right behind my home where Tommy Lee and I regularly go for walks, fresh air, and exercise, giving visiting pets plenty of opportunities for activity and enrichment during their stay. Because I spend so much time at home, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods and will have plenty of opportunities for interaction, exercise, and care. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and right at home while you’re away! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving home environment where pets are treated like family, not just guests. As a dog mom, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously. My dog, Tommy Lee, is incredibly friendly, social, and loves both people and other animals. Because she shares our home, I do require that pets staying with us are friendly, well-socialized, and do not have a history of aggressive behavior toward people or other animals. This helps ensure a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience for everyone. I work hard to create an environment where pets can relax, feel secure, and receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. Communication is also very important to me, so I’ll be happy to send regular photo and video updates throughout your pet’s stay. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely at ease from the moment they arrive until the moment they head home❣️

About: Hi, my name is Sereina! I've grown up around dogs and have always been someone reliable and trustworthy around others pets as well. I know how to handle and care for dogs and cats of all different sizes, ages, and breeds. I would love to keep growing my experience and getting to know families and their pet family members as well! Currently I am working a part time job and visit my family in San Diego frequently. I am in school during the fall as a full time student but have extra time right now in the summer. Caring for your pet is another way for me to fill up the time throughout the week and meet new pets! As your pet sitter, I can be very by the book. If you have any special requests or know how to counteract any known behaviors from your pet I am capable of following your standards and following what is most comfortable and right for your pet. I will treat your pet with the same love and respect you have for them (and then some!). I am patient and will do everything I can to hold yours and your pets trust.

About: I have spent over 20 years caring for humans and am interested in expanding my caregiving to pets! I have experience with puppies and neighbors animals as a drop in sitter I work mostly remote so I have flexibility in my schedule to drop in to visit, walk, and play with your pets! I am used to caring for my own dog and do daily walks and games. I am used to dropping into neighbors homes to help with dogs and cats. I am able to feed, walk, play, and do some enrichment activities.

About: Hi! I’ve had dogs and other animals my entire life, and caring for them has always been one of my greatest joys. I currently volunteer with local animal shelters, where I continue to build hands on experience in dog walking, enrichment, and compassionate pet care. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal with the same love, patience, and attention I would want for my own. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, playtime, cuddles, or dependable care while you’re away, I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m excited to help local families and look forward to getting to know you and your precious pet(s)! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide care for your pets while you’re managing a busy day. I’m available for weekly and weekend walks and drop in visits. I am available for overnight stays as well, so that you can have peace of mind while you’re traveling. Providing attentive, personalized care is very important to me, so I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality, routines, and needs. Whether your pup and I are enjoying a walk, I’m stopping in for potty breaks, or keeping your pet company with overnight care in your home, my goal is to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I strive to provide the same love and attention that I would want for my own pets.

About: I care for my elderly rescued bird, an elderly Yorkie, and have owned a mouse for 4 years past its life expectancy. My child hood dog, a miniature pinscher lived till 21 years old. I also grew up spending my summers at horse camp which taught me how to give an animal space and read their emotions: if they need water or attention for example. I recently quit my job to focus writing and being a full time student. I enjoy taking care of people's pets alongside my grandma at my grandparents house. Pets seem to feel right at home being apart of family breakfasts, lunches, and dinners, watching tv with us in the afternoons, and listening to music with us in the morning helping us with our daily chores of cooking, and cleaning. My grandma is retired and I also stay at the house and give 25/7 care for peoples pets. can provide unlimited walks, runs, outdoor and indoor play. You can trust me to give your pet space and attention when appropriate. I am okay with cameras on in the house if needed or any other precautionary measure that ensures my clients respect to their household and pets safety

About: I’ve loved animals my whole life, growing up with three beloved dogs: Miley, a 120-pound Labrador; Scruffy, a rescued terrier mix; and Teddy, a feisty Shih Tzu. While they’ve since passed, my passion for animals continues. I regularly volunteer at shelters and have experience caring for family pets while their owners are away. As a full-time college student with a flexible schedule and ample free time, I can accommodate nearly any pet care needs. My dedication, reliability, and genuine love for animals set me apart from other sitters. As a full-time local college student, I usually have just one class a day, leaving me plenty of time for pet care. I’m happy to adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs, whether that means early mornings or late nights. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, their safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow all provided instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, and medication needs if needed. I keep the environment clean, secure, and free from hazards to ensure your pet feels safe and at ease. I also prioritize building trust with pets by being patient, gentle, and attentive, helping them feel comfortable in their familiar surroundings. Regular updates with photos and messages let you know your furry friend is well cared for while you’re away!

Stephanie took care of my cat Levi for three weeks while I was traveling. She is incredibly communicative and flexible, she worked with me to figure out a plan that worked best and was super helpful in the booking process! She definitely puts her clients first. She cared for Levi so well, sending me so many photos of him which was amazing 😻 She played with him so much and I know he felt very loved and safe. I have never been so at ease leaving him and this was the longest time I’ve been gone! Stephanie is an incredible cat sitter and so communicative. I’ll be booking her again when I go out of town next month, and will recommend her the first chance I get!

5-Star Review It was easy to recognize from the start that Lisa is a true animal lover. She was prompt for our meet-and-greet with my cat, Ozzie. Lisa is an excellent listener, very knowledgeable about both cats and dogs, and a natural with animals. Throughout the pet-sitting experience, she provided outstanding communication, regular updates, and wonderful photos that gave me peace of mind while I was away. She took the time to work with Ozzie’s schedule and unique personality, making sure he was comfortable and well cared for. Lisa completed every request I made and truly went above and beyond my expectations. I highly recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter. I couldn’t be happier 🐾💕

Meghan stepped in at the last minute to care for our cat when our previous sitter had a medical emergency. We were on the East Coast when a Rover employee called & said that our sitter was hospitalized & that they were looking for an emergency replacement. We had a few options, but Meghan was the most responsive and had great reviews. We hadn't even met her, but we truly got lucky that she volunteered to step in. We look forward to meeting her in person the next time that we book through Rover, because we will definitely try to book her the next time we travel.

Michelle is amazing! My 15 year old pup has a lot of special needs, she wasn’t phased by my long list of all his needs which really put my mind at ease. She sent multiple pictures and updates throughout the visit and administered oral meds for me.

OMG! I cannot even BEGIN to say how GRATEFUL I AM to have Jessica watch my furbabies! This is my 1st time using Rover & I wasn't worried for one MINUTE that they weren't in the BEST CARE! She made sure my guy got his insulin shots on TIME & even THOUGH the Princessa didn't HONOR Jessica with her presence, she was still so happy to see me when I got home & was no worse for wear! I would recommend her to anyone looking for caring, responsible person to take care of your precious babies, Jessica is it! You won't regret it!
