Crispin went above and beyond while caring for our 2 dogs. She took them to their favorite places many times and took a bunch of great pictures to send to us every day. I'd definitely ask her to house + pet sit again! Thank you Crispin!

My pup was so well cared for! My girl is a rescue healing from an injury, and she can get nervous with sitters. But they were best buds after just one night! I received updates so I wasn’t worried, and it was a huge relief to find someone who knew exactly how to accommodate my dog’s needs. Would absolutely book again!

It’s always hard to leave our sweet girl, but having Cheryl stay at our place to watch her made all the difference. Our cat can change her eating habits daily so her feeding schedule can be challenging. Cheryl was flexible with trying new things to get our cat to eat and was eventually successful. We came back to a very clean house and a happy cat. I trust Cheryl and am excited to have found such a great pet sitter. Definitely recommend her! Thank you Cheryl for everything!

Anya is an extremely caring and responsible person. Over the last nine years, I've watched her take great care of her family's pets and I've also seen her be a fantastic pet sitter for other people's pets. Anya loves my two small dogs, Annie and Teddy, and has done a great job taking care of them. She shows them just as much love as she shows her own pets. I trust her 1000% percent and would highly recommend having her as a pet sitter!

Natalie was amazing! She took great care of our Annie (who can be quite skittish with new people.) Annie was happy and comfortable when we returned home. Natalie is Completely responsible, mature, and lovely to be around. She took photos with Annie (added music to them) and sent them to us. Thank you Natalie!

Natalie proved to be an exceptional dog and house sitter. She showed great care and patience with our shy, vocal dog, who usually takes time to trust new people. Natalie maintained consistent communication and provided regular updates throughout her stay. Upon our return, we found our home in immaculate condition. For peace of mind during your absence, I highly recommend hiring Natalie!

I never leave reviews but felt compelled to do so because Lennea is incredible. It's never easy to trust someone to stay in your home and watch your precious fur baby but Lennea made the entire experience so comfortable allowing my boyfriend and I to truly enjoy our week-long vacation. Where do I start? She was communicative, and kind, sent daily updates, and left our home perfectly neat. She took incredible care of our dog and took him on a daily adventures. She sent us the most beautiful pictures of Bradley each day, followed his strict dient and ensured he got his medicated bath as needed. I cannot reccomend her enough, truly, book her now.

Shantel is THE BEST cat sitter! She cared for our two cats overnight and did a fantastic job. Our one kitten (Babka) is very playful and can overwhelm our older cat (Bert) however when we got home, they were both in good spirits. She also gave great updates on how they were doing with pictures and kept the house nice and tidy. We’ll definitely work with her again in the future :)

Krysta is our go to choice for dog sitting when we need to go out of town. As our pups got older, we really needed someone who could stay in our home with them, where they’re most comfortable. Due to health issues, one of our dogs required a little bit of special care including prescription food and medications. Krysta does an excellent job ensuring our dogs’ health is a priority when she watches them. She always stays in contact and provides photo updates which is much appreciated! Highly recommend for any pet sitting needs!

About: Hi there pet parents! My name is ilce, I’m an 805 local raised here by the beach. I currently work part time in the day and in my free time I do photography and go for walks. I was a volunteer at DAWG a local dog shelter, it is my 1st time on rover as a dog sitter so with that being said I am trust worthy, kind and loving so If you need someone to watch your fur baby while you need to head out I am happy to assist. I am currently working part time at a retail environment so I would have some days and afternoons available for pet care, also my schedule is flexible Unfortunately I do not have pets of my own since I live in a very small place so it would be very limited space for a pet

This was our first time using Rover and Brandi's services and we are very pleased. Brandi took extra good care of our dog, Simon. She sent us pictures and kept us posted on how he was doing the entire time. Being able to have him at home and cared for while we were away made all the difference and we are grateful.
