Andrew was really amazing. We’ve been looking for a recurrent in home sitter for a while but had been putting it off. He was punctual, respectful, personable, and really great with our two rambunctious Great Danes. We’ve definitely found our sitter and have already booked him again. 100% recommend.

Olivia is the best dog sitter in town! Truly a gem! We were so blessed to have Olivia care for our Teddy while away on a 6 day vacation to Hawaii. She was always available and provided all of Teddy’s needs. I can’t express my gratitude with just words. She went above and beyond caring for our Teddy while away. Teddy has found a new best friend in Olivia. My trip was care free because I left my pup in good hands. Theres nothing better than to have peace of mind that my Teddy was being fed, walked and played with daily. I recommend Olivia for your furry friend. You will not be disappointed. Thanks again Olivia! 🐶

About: I have taken care of animals for years now. Including my own sets of dogs, I also have a few close friends I have pet sitted for in the past and currently. Also family members often ask me to care for their pets too. Usually involves walks, feeding, and just keeping the pets company for the time I am asked. I am currently a caretaker for a family member during the days and nights on some days. I am looking for some extra income that I can do and enjoy what I am doing at the same time. Pet care will allow me to be around animals and to help owners have a reliable service when needed. I care for my own pets on the daily basis from walking every morning to daily feed times in between working as a caretaker. I will follow all rules that the pet owner has for their household for pet sitting. And for walking will follow the rules each owner has for their pet. I want to make sure the pet is as comfortable as possible and the owner is comfortable with my services. My own personal pets live indoors mainly with daily walks and occasional times to play outside In the backyard throughout the day.

Bethany was amazing! She kept us updated of our pup every day, sending pics & videos. From the moment our dog met her, he loved her, which made me feel super comfortable leaving him with her. Our house was the exact way we found it when we came back. This was our first time using Rover and Bethany made it a great, smooth experience. Would def book her again!

Hailee is amazing! I felt so comfortable with her watching my baby and I was able to enjoy my trip because I knew my dog was well taken care of with her. I got plenty of pics, videos, and updates and it was always reassuring. She followed all directions perfectly and was very easy to communicate with. She is definitely my new go to sitter!

About: I've grown up and taken care of dogs since I was 8 years old. From family to friends I've been able to watch, walk, play, take care, and feed everyone's pets. I have my own dog named Dexter who is a 5 year old Dachsund mix. He was rescued from a breeder/hoarder house in Riverside and in the beginning he was very anxious, shy, timid, and afraid of people. Now my boy is happy, enjoys cuddling, and is able to be around people that love and care about him. I'm currently waiting on training for a full time job in July so right now my schedule is open from Monday to Saturday. Besides caring for my own dog who is super friendly with other dogs my schedule is open at the moment and will work with people's schedule to give their dog the care and attention they deserve. I currently live in an apartment with a patio and in the back is a grass yard for everyone to share. I always make sure my dog has his walks everyday and sometimes I'll take him to the dog park which he loves. Give him his breakfast and dinner as scheduled. Clean his ears as well as bathe him when its needed. Along with making sure he takes his vitamins each day. For other dogs I would do as requested walk, feed, play, and give them attention or space if needed.

Stella went above and beyond when caring for our pups. We were very nervous about leaving our dogs for an extended period but Stella eliminated all worries immediately and exceeded expectations. It is obvious that Stella genuinely cares for and loves animals, from the way she talks about her own dog to the way she consistently showed up for our dogs. In addition to the day to day routine, Stella took our dogs to the beach, bathed them, and left the house in immaculate condition. She is a fabulous communicator, sending photos and updates daily as well as letting us know if she had any questions or concerns which we really appreciated. Coming home to a clean house and happy pups is a great feeling! I would recommend Stella to all and look forward to booking with her in the future (I know my dogs do too)!

About: I've been surrounded by animals since I was 6 years old and have always had a deep love and admiration for them. I currently have three dogs of my own, so I'm very familiar with daily care routines including feeding, walks, play time, basic grooming, administering medications if needed, and giving lots of attention and affection. I also care for a chinchilla and grew up spending time with my grandparents' cat, so I'm comfortable around different types of pets and their unique personalities. Although I'm new to professional pet sitting, caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I've even once considered becoming a vet tech because of how much I love spending time with animals. I'm responsible, attentive, and very detail-oriented, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. As someone pursuing a career in healthcare and BLS certified, safety and attentiveness are extremely important to me. Your pet's comfort, well-being, and happiness will always be my top priority. I am currently in school but when I am not in class I am more than happy to use some of that time to take care of your fur baby. When caring for pets in a client's home, I make it a priority to follow their established routine as closely as possible to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walk times, medication instructions if needed, and any specific area preferences. I provide plenty of playtime, attention, and affection while also making sure pets feel secure in their familiar environment. I'm very respectful of clients' homes, keep everything clean and organized, and provide regular updates with photos for peace of mind.

About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. Family I'd visit growing up and still visit have had 10 dogs featuring 8 different breeds, including German Shepherds and Pitbulls. I've raised and basic-trained 3 puppy rescues since 2001, saw 2 of them to seniority (Chihuahua and Jack Russel-Chihuahua mix), and raised the most recent (Pug) until 2024 when I blessed close family members with her because they have a huge yard she adores and want her to be happy. I can't wait to fill this place with the vibrant energy only dogs can give! I'm currently in between jobs so I'd be able to give your furbaby all the attention they need. I just need a day's heads up to get a few things sorted and we're all set! Your place or my place? I can go either way! This townhome has a patio your furbaby can sunbathe in with a breeze and shade, or we can keep them inside nice and cool/warm if the weather isn't friendly. If they're less adventurous, I can keep them company at your place where they'd feel more at home.

Allen was great! Our rottweiler is usually timid with new guests at first but he loved Allen instantly. Our other puppy also grew to love him and we would love to have him sit again in the future! He made our weekend away so peaceful knowing our pups were in great care. He sent pics and video updates as well. Couldn't be happier!

It was my first time using Rover since I don't have family or friends to help with pet sitting. Claudia was amazing. She got to meet my dog before the stay and my anxious and sometime mistrustful dog loved her. During the stay she did an amazing job and sent cute pictures and responded promptly! She's the best!

This was my first time booking through Rover in hopes of finding someone that can care for my puppy while I’m away and I found Alyssa. She was very kind and patient. I feel like she tried her best even though my puppy is a high energy stubborn puppy. She tried to make him as comfortable as possible. I did have a slight suggestion and that would be just to communicate better and interact with the puppy as much as possible to make it a smoother process. Dogs feed off our energy.
