1. Anais D.

“Anais was awesome with our pups! My gals are old but still peppy, strong, and sometimes over exuberant. She took great care with both but especially Cookie who recently had surgery. I look forward to booking another visit with her again!”


2. Tina Y.

“Tina was amazing at making Maple feel comfortable and quickly built rapport with her. She followed my instructions and was able to give the most care to Maple.”


3. Megan K.

“Megan takes amazing care of our girl. The pictures and updates she sends are just such a comfort when we’re away from home. One picture from this most recent trip with our dog’s huge, full-teeth smile had us laughing out loud but also just made us so happy that she was that happy while her family was away. We feel so incredibly lucky to have Megan as our dog sitter. Thank you, Megan!!”


4. Meghan M.

“My dog fell in love with Meghan at first sight, even though she's usually slow to warm up to new people. Pepper, my miniature dachshund, is always excited to see Meghan, whether for a walk or an overnight. When I pick her up Pepper is happy and tired. We call Meghan's house a doggie resort as a joke, because it's filled with toys and treats. Pepper's happy and I am, because I know my dog is cared for and loved (not to mention spoiled) when I can't be there. We both trust Meghan and would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a dog person to love and care for their pup when they need help.”


5. Andrew M.

“Andrew followed all the instructions. He did a wonderful job and will certainly hire him again. Thank you!”


6. Vanessa M.

“We needed a sitter at the last minute and Vanessa came in a saved the day. She followed our instructions to the letter and she sent photos of our little guy, which put our minds at ease. Vanessa is a caring, pet lover whom we've trust completely. Her customer service is top notch and she's a pleasure to interact with. We'll continue to use and recommend her to others as long as she's associated with Rover.😺”


7. Oracio A.
“When I first met Izrael, I immediately knew he was the right person to look after my partner and I's dog Petey. His warmth and kindness put both Petey and us at ease, making the whole experience stress-free. Izrael has an incredible gift for understanding and connecting with animals, treating Petey as if he were his own. He was attentive to Petey's specific needs, such as his special diet and exercise routine. Plus, his regular updates and photos let me know that Petey is having a fantastic time while I'm away. Izrael's dependability and genuine love for pets gave me complete peace of mind. I wholeheartedly recommend Izrael as a trustworthy and loving pet caregiver - your pets will thank you!”


8. Amy W.
About: I've had the pleasure of caring for a range of pups, from playful puppies to wise seniors, through doggy daycare, house sitting, and daily walks. I’m currently the proud mother of a 100-lb, 6-year-old German Shepherd Mix who’s been with me since he was just a few months old. I love long strolls (on the sidewalk), epic games of tug-of-war, and fetch marathons. Meeting new doggie friends is always a highlight of my day. Who enjoys these activities more, me or the dog? We’ll find out! I work from home and will be available to care for your dog as requested. Please note any specific requests regarding your dog's preferred schedule. My dog is spoiled and has plenty of toys to share: feeding toys, edible chews, chew toys, fetch toys, tug toys, the works. I will follow your wishes on how you care for your dog and will send pictures and updates. I welcome the opportunity for you to visit us in advance to ensure you and your pet are comfortable in our home.


9. Kacie S.

“Kacie did a great job with drop in visits for our two cats while we were out of town. She provided updates and pictures each day and it was nice knowing the cats were in good hands. I highly recommend booking with her!”


10. Marlene P.

“I was in a bind because I had to go on a work trip. So this was my first time having Marlene take care of my doggies. I am always reluctant to have new people in my home, taking care of my babies. But, after meeting her both I and my little guys felt comfortable. I returned to find my little guys very happy and well taken care of. While I was gone, she sent pictures each day. She was also very responsive whenever I reached out. I would definitely recommend Marlene and will be calling on her again in the future.”


11. Ying Z.
“Vera is a friendly person she loves taking care pets. Every time I get out of country, she takes care of my two smalls dogs.”


12. Nadia K.
“I have known Nadia for many years and what I love most about her is her super hard and incredibly caring work ethic! She took special loving care of our late husky, Lucy, for many years. She treated Lucy like a family member and as if she were her own dog, playing with her and taking her on long walks. We loved that we were able to drop Lucy off for visits and trust that she was in the best possible hands, especially as she entered her golden years. Lucy always knew we were going for a visit as we got closer to Nadia’s house, because she would get so excited in the car! When we are ready for a new dog, we will definitely be utilizing Nadia’s services. She is highly recommended!”


13. Lauren D.

“Lauren took deLICIOUS care of our babies while we were out! Even when there was a situation with an offleash dog, she stayed chill n communicated well with us n kept Bacardii safe.”


14. Jasmin A.
About: Hi! My name is Jasmin, I am 22 years old and live in Oakland, Ca. I have experience with dogs as I own one myself and most of my family own dogs themselves. I have experience with puppies, adults, small, and medium sized dogs. I’ve always had patience and sympathy for animals as they are also living creatures with emotions. From pugs to pitbulls I care for dogs as if they were all mine! I am currently looking for a side job and found this site which I think would be a perfect side hustle as I love dogs and have enough free time ! I also have my own car so mobility won’t be an issue. I will follows whatever routine YOUR dog is used to and what I am told by the owners. From my part all dogs are received with lots of love and patience :)


15. Briana S.
“Briana has been such a huge help with our pups! She is attentive, caring, provides constant updates and is quick to respond. We’re looking fwd to continuing to work with Briana!”


16. Ashtyn F.

“Ashtyn did a great job visiting and taking care of my two cats oveer a 4-day period. She followed the instructions i gave her quite well and everything worked out quite well. No complaints, only praise.”


17. Lisa R.
“Lisa is the best! She has cared for our beloved rescue pit bull for over five years now, providing weekly walks and has taken her overnight for several week-long stays. Lisa is a die hard animal lover and I always know our dog is getting all the love and attention she deserves when she's in Lisa's care.”


18. Karla C.

“Karla is thorough and reliable, and she sends great summaries with lots of photos. Our very shy kitty has really warmed up to her. Highly recommend!”


19. Patrick & Emma W.

20. Keira G.
About: Hey there, my name is Keira. I'm fairly new to Rover but am looking forward to meeting new folks and furry friends along the way. My main option on here is dog walking but I also do drop-ins and house sitting. I have been an owner of 2 big beautiful German-Shepard mixed boys for 5 years and just recently 2 kitties :), so I have continuous experience. I work full-time from home so I typically leave my weekends to my rover clients, but I am flexible for weekday afternoons as well. Working from home has made it accessible and fun to spend most of my day with my fur babies, I couldn't ask for better companions :) My dogs have a huge all around yard they like to run around and my kitties are more of the indoor type so whatever environment your pet prefers, we'll be sure to have a fun and safe time!
