“Aleksandra did an amazing job with Louie. He’s an old man, and has many special needs. She did an amazing job of making me feel at peace knowing he is well cared for in her watch. I also got lots of pics while I was away, and updates throughout her stay. You can tell she really cares about what she does.”


“Vanessa was great! This was an initial meeting / dog sitting to see how Charlie would do in a possible longer term situation with dog sitting. She can be very hesitant with people at first so it was great to see her warm up to Vanessa so quickly! I really appreciated getting photo updates throughout the day!”


“Jarrod is an excellent communicator, who's very concerned with the well being of your pet. My fur baby was happy and healthy when we returned and our home was spotless. I hope I have the opportunity to use his services again!”

“Vanessa did a fantastic job taking care of my cat and dog! She was very communicative each day, sending pictures, answering questions, and providing updates. She is a great option for your pet care needs and will be my go to rover going forward! Thanks Vanessa!”


“Eli was amazing! I am so lucky to have found him. He stayed at my home with my two pitties and took such great care of them. He was communicative, reliable, and sent detailed updates and lots of pics which I enjoyed :) my home was left in great shape. Will definitely continue to use him in the future!”

“Luke was extraordinary. Exceptional communication: speedy, clear, and friendly. He was genuinely keen to help everything go smoothly. My dog seemed happy with him, and it was effortless.”

“We are so lucky to have met Shyy! We went out of town for the first time without our dog and were pretty nervous with how he would do, but he immediately loved her and was comfortable! Our dog is a rescue and learning how to be chill with other dogs around on walks and she knew exactly how to handle him. Upon coming back home I can see his confidence has continued to grow which makes me so happy :). Shyy is very qualified, kind, communicative, and just in general a lovely person. 10/10.”

“Once again, it was a pleasure having Izayah come watch our baby boy, Zuma. Zuma was really excited to see Izayah and we got good pics and updates throughout the time he was with him. Thanks for taking care of our sweet boy!”

“Sabrina was absolutely amazing! She took great care of my sensitive boy while I was gone, sent many updates, and stayed on top of his medications. He was so happy when I got home. I highly recommend her!”

“So happy we found Denise to take care of our two boys! My younger pup doesn’t take to people quickly and to my surprise he loved Denise right away. She followed all my directions and communicated the perfect amount! I could really tell that the boys were well taken care of. ❤️”


About: Hi there! My name is Rosie. I have been living in San Diego for about seven years now, but I am originally from Seattle, Washington-- born and raised. Back home, I grew up with my pomeranian poodle pup, named Chanel. I learned a lot from raising her and from sitting for friends and family. Along with this, I have 3 years of professional experience as a dog walker for Rover and it has been great as I enjoy caring for animals in my downtime. The services that I will include are- dog walking and drop-ins. I would love to get to know you and your furry companion and help out in the best way I can. I hope to meet you and your cute doggo!
About: I love animals so much, but I'm not quite in a place to have a dog of my own just yet. So, I want to shower your pup with all the love and affection I'd give my own if I had one! I have so much love to give, and I might just spoil your dog a little too much. Remember when your grandparents would pick you up for the day and take you to do all your favorite things? That’s exactly the kind of energy I want to bring when caring for your fur baby! I currently work from home, so my schedule is super flexible! I’m available any day of the week and have plenty of time to give your fur baby lots of love and attention throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, maintain your pet’s usual routine, and make sure they always have access to fresh water and a comfortable environment.

“Valeria was absolutely wonderful! My pup settled in quickly and looked completely at home in her care and she kept me updated with photos and messages throughout his stay. She was also incredibly accommodating as plans changed and went above and beyond to help make sure Beau was safe, comfortable, and well cared for.”
“Rory has been great! He was very attentive when given instructions and was great at communicating. We always have anxiety while traveling, but we immediately felt at ease. He gave us confidence that our boy was safe and cared for. Our instructions are pretty detailed and our boy is a little needy. Rory had no problem doing his best to follow them. We highly recommend him for walking and house sitting!”


About: What sets me apart is the genuine care, patience, and attention I give to every pet. I understand that every dog has a different personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m especially patient with senior dogs, shy or anxious pets, and puppies who need extra attention and consistency. I’m responsible, attentive to details, and happy to follow each pet’s specific feeding, walking, medication, and care routine. My goal is for every pet to feel at home while their family is away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to walks, playtime, companionship, and making sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for. I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so taking dogs for walks and giving them attention throughout the day is something I genuinely enjoy. I’m also comfortable adjusting my routine to follow each pet’s individual schedule and needs. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or in their owner’s home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment. I follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. I’m respectful of each pet’s personality and give them the attention they need, whether they are energetic, shy, anxious, or older. When caring for pets in their owner’s home, I also treat their space with respect and make sure everything is kept clean and secure. My priority is for every pet to feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their family is away.
“Wendy was great - lots of photos and updates for us and our dog clearly had a great weekend with her. Would absolutely recommend Wendy and will book her again!”

“I highly, highly recommend Dwayne and Ashna for any pet-sitting needs! This was our first time using Rover in general for our boys and it was an eleven day trip out of the country, so my husband and I were very nervous given previous horror stories we've heard about friends' Rover experiences. Also given that our boys (large mutts) are slightly reactive and high maintenance. Dwayne and Ashna were fantastic - great communication about our sons and any house issues/questions, respectful, and left our home in perfect condition. We've already re-booked them for our next trip and likely only to book anyone different if they're unavailable. We're very happy to have found sitters that our boys love and provide exceptional service :)”


“Dogs were very calm when I got home and could tell they were well taken care of! House was in the condition I left it,which I always appreciate! 10/10 would recommend and would book Sydney again!”

Aidni was so amazing with my girl, London! It was my first time working with a sitter I dont know and she made it such a breeze. From the first meeting all the way throughout my trip, she had solid communication and was always available when I tried to reach out. She sent photos and daily updates and it gave me huge peace of mind while being out of state. Will definitely book with her again!
10/10. We were a bit nervous leaving our two dogs together for the first time. Stephanie did such a good job communicating across the 5 days, sending plenty of photo updates, and left our home super clean. She patiently worked w our large puppy boy who had more anxiety than we could’ve anticipated and gave both our babes plenty of cuddles along the way. We’ll definitely book Stephanie again in the future!

Izayah did a great job taking care of Max last week! He was reliable, and I appreciated his help. I was originally looking for someone to house sit, but unfortunately, he only offers drop-in visits. Overall, a good experience, and I would recommend him for anyone needing drop-in pet care!

Kirsten was so kind to accept our last minute request. She knows and cares for dogs--I mean, the quantity/quality of her Rover ratings are impressive. We have a German shepherd puppy (not even 1 year old) and a 5 year old staffordshire bully--IYKYK bc these breeds take a bit of maintenance. Kirsten knew what was required of my dogs (active play, walks, mental stimulation) and updated us with photos while we were away. I recommend Kirsten and will definitely, definitely, definitely book her again. <3
