“Merran is AWESOME! Two of our three pups are quite shy with new people and they took to her so quickly for her short stay. We loved getting the photos and updates every day while away & felt great about being away for the first time in a while - thanks Merran!”
“Deb did an amazing job with my two full of energy babies. She definitely understands how to handle dogs. This was my first time leaving them with a sitter so I was a bit anxious as to how the dogs would handle it. I got picture updates the entire time. Deb followed all my requests and even went above and beyond by picking up their poop in the backyard, taking out the trash and stripping the bed for easy laundry. I’ll definitely be booking again in the future.”
“Emily house-sat for us and watched our dog ,Kuma. She did a great job, took very good care of Kuma, sent photos of him on their walks, watered our plants, and left the house nice and clean. We will definitely use Emily again!”

“Monique has taken care of my cats twice, which involves staying at our house. She's amazing! She has gone above and beyond just taking care of my two geriatric cats - I really appreciate the extras she has provided such as watering plants, taking in packages and even fixing a zipper on my husband's backpack just because she saw it needed some help. Thank you, Monique!”
“I was very happy with Suede, when I cam home ladybug was not anxious and seemed very relaxed! I really appreciated the time and love she gave my dog! I would like to leave her 30 dollar tip”
“Staci was wonderful with our three large dogs! It was comforting to know they were in good hands while we were traveling out of state. Staci made the extra effort to come for a meet & greet and arrive before we left to ensure the dogs remembered her. Staci’s communication was great and she also left the house well maintained, even going above and beyond by vacuuming the never-ending dog hair, doing the dishes, and leaving us a welcome back treat! I highly recommend Staci and she will be our first call if we ever need a dog sitter again!”

Over 19 pet parents in Dolores have booked house sitting
Dolores pet parents share their Rover experiences
Suede arrived on time and kept in touch with us about our dogs. The pictures she sent really helped us know they were happy dogs. I’m sure they missed us but it was much better for them to stay at home. The house was cleaned and tidy. Unfortunately for Suede she had to deal with the battery in the smoke detector chirping. Neighbor tried to fix it but it kept chirping. We arrived back on the schedule we said we would. Suede left a few hrs before we got home but she let us know she was leaving and the dogs were ok and the plants were watered. She asked I let her know as soon as we returned. Great to have good reliable help.
Savana was great! We have three dogs and two of them are rescues that require more attention. We were cautious as we have not had good experiences in the past leaving our babies. Savana kept us updated and sent photos daily. One of our babies had a UTI and she handled the medications while we were away. Our family would recommend her and book again! Thank you so much!
