Aunt Tania is our kitty’s favorite—we always know our baby is in great hands. She goes above and beyond as both a cat and house sitter, sending daily photos, watering plants, and leaving our home spotless. She even adds the sweetest welcome-home notes. We highly recommend her!

Lili is very experienced and a great communicator. She cared for our kitty for 8 days while we were away. Although our cat hides from all newcomers and can be quite determined in doing so, Lili was able to entice her out for pets and play several times and reliably sent us updates while we were away. We were grateful to have her help and to know our recluse was getting some love and care in our absence. Very glad to recommend Lili!!

Alexandra recently stayed at our house for 5 days and care for our two dogs. Our older dog is 16 and is blind and deaf. He requires meds twice a day and needs to be carried outside to pee and poop. Our other dog is an energetic goofball who barks when excited and requires a great deal of reassurance. Alexandra was a pro. She was unflappable. Throughout the week she sent updates every day and pics of happy dogs! The house was left in perfect condition. We couldn’t be happier!

About: 8+ years of hands-on pet care experience. From a young age, I’ve looked after dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments As an athlete and boxer, I naturally enjoy staying active What sets me apart is my calm, patient personality and genuine ability to connect with both pets and owners. I take time to learn each animal’s individual needs, routines Whether it’s exercise, medication reminders, feeding, playtime , and comfort levels so they feel safe and happy. SPECIAL SKILLS -I’m also equipped with a truck for safe transportation to vet appointments, parks, in addition to services I offer professional baths & grooming at local pet stores. Fully comfortable with multi-pet households and all types of animals. I treat every pet with the same care I give my own. Neighbors, friends, and family have consistently trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and provide companionship for their pets. I’m very flexible with my schedule and structure my days around pet care. I typically do morning walks and drop-ins before 9am, midday check-ins, and evening visits after 5pm. On weekends I’m wide open for overnights or longer sitting. Pet care is my priority — I plan my routine so your dog always gets consistent, quality time without feeling rushed In my home, pets get constant supervision, structured playtime, potty breaks, and meals on their normal schedule. I’m experienced with crate training if needed and always keep a calm, secure environment. In your home I follow your exact instructions for feeding, walks, and any medication. Safety and trust come first

About: I volunteer at a dog shelter which has improved my skills in dog walking and understanding dog behavior. I have been taking care of dogs for neighbors, friends and family since I was 12. I walk dogs daily, prepare meals, play with them, and give medication, if needed. Hi. My name is Yesica. I just finished my first year at university, so I am currently on summer vacation. My schedule is open and flexible so I have plenty of time to walk and play with your pets throughout the week. I am also available for housing on weekends and holidays. I care for pets by following their normal routines as closely as possible so they feel comfortable, stress-free and safe. In my house in particular I have a doggy door that I can open and close to make potty breaks and play time outside easily accessible. In both my house and a client’s home, I make sure to keep the environment clean and secure for the animals. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect the owner’s instructions, and I provide updates with photos and messages so owners feel reassured while they’re away.

Honey always loves when he gets Natasia as his sitter. She is a natural with larger dogs and Honey clearly feels at ease around her. It makes me feel so much better about leaving when I see how much he smiles when she greets him hello.

About: My name is Danielle and I love caring for animals of all kinds. I currently take care of a small dog, Bubs, and a cat, Moose. As a pet owner I know how important your animals are to you. I am punctual, dependable, trustworthy, and know how to keep your pet engaged. I have been caring for animals most of my life and it brings me so much joy. I am usually the friend people call when they need their house or pet looked after. I am good at communicating and can keep you updated with texts or photos. Thank you for your consideration I am self employed and have a flexible schedule. I like to pick up pet care work when I have extra time and as a source of extra income. I can take your dog on engaging walks and get them easily into their crate if needed. I can check on their food/water, give them pets, treats, or engaging playtime. I love connecting with your pet and tending to their specific needs. I can update you on how they are doing and if there were any issues.

About: I’ve had dogs for most of my life. I grew up with 4 bigs dogs. Recently I’ve been doing walks on apps, I’ve done over 70+ services ranging from taking care of old pets to very young ones. People always set me as their preferred walker since they love that I listen to their rules and go on long walks with their dogs. For a 60 minute walk I average about 2-3 miles, depending on the dog. I’m currently a student at San Jose State University and I look forward to doing some walks or other services on the weekends when I’m back home, also I can do walks or sittings on the weekdays when I off school. I have a fenced yard, the dogs and cats are allowed in the house and my room. I will make sure to always keep a lookout and have them be where I am at.

Rachael was AMAZING! Your fur babies are in great hands with her.

Cannot recommend her enough!

Angelina was absolutely wonderful. She is friendly, responsible, caring, and very professional. I came home to a house that was actually cleaner than when I left, which was such a nice surprise. Most importantly, my dog was happy, safe, and clearly well cared for. She made sure my dog got plenty of walks, stayed on the feeding schedule exactly as instructed, and felt comfortable the entire time. It meant a lot knowing my dog was not only looked after, but genuinely cared for and comforted. Angelina also sent multiple pictures and updates throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate sitter.

Hi Kristi, thank you so much. You were incredible this past week with our two lovebugs, they are small but they have their own mighty quirks that can be a bit to care for, and they were happy walked and loved on when we returned. I was so grateful at how reliable you were, since it was my first time asking for house/pet sitting, and humbled by the way you went above and beyond caring not just for the pups but for the house. Really so lucky to have found you and I look forward to next time. Thanks for making a much needed trip away possible.

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats since birth and have spent my whole life building a deep understanding of animal behavior and care. Growing up, my family raised two litters of puppies, giving me hands-on experience with everything from newborn care to socialization and training throughout various life stages. I currently share my home with three dogs of my own and regularly care for friends' cats and dogs, both in my home and theirs. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes, from small lap dogs to large breeds, and know that each comes with its own personality, energy level, and needs. People tell me I'm not just a dog person but also someone dogs are drawn to. Cats have been a constant in my life just as long as dogs have. I know how to read their cues, respect their space, and earn their trust on their own terms. I genuinely love every stage of a pet's life and know how to meet each animal where they are, whether that's an energetic puppy, a curious cat, or a laid-back senior. I’ve worked in human crisis intervention for over 6 years, which means I stay calm under pressure and know how to respond quickly and clearly when something unexpected happens. That same steady, caring approach is what I bring to every pet I look after. I do Rover to supplement my nonprofit career, so when I take on your pet it's because I genuinely want to be here, not because I have to be. Your pet won't just be cared for, they'll feel right at home! I work from home on a flexible schedule that I set myself, which means I'm present with your pet throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long stretches. We have a fenced yard for outdoor time and can separate pets as needed, so your animal has a safe, comfortable space even with my own dogs in the home. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I treat every pet like they're my own. My home is pet-proofed with a fenced yard, and I can separate animals as needed so everyone has their own safe space alongside my own dogs. I always want to know your pet's routine, quirks, and preferences ahead of time so I can keep things as normal and comfortable as possible for them. With a lifetime of experience with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes, I'm confident handling whatever comes up, and my crisis intervention background means I stay calm and act fast if an emergency arises.

Mandisa took great care of our little terrier, Luna (who can be a handful some times). I especially appreciated her responsiveness and professionalism throughout the process, which provided such peace of mind, and the notes she left afterward, which were super helpful for managing an issue Luna's been having lately, where she gets so excited by the neighborhood cats that she forgets to potty when you take her outside. Ah, terriers. We look forward to booking with Mandisa agin.

Harold was a wonderful caretaker and companion for Luna while we were away. He helped us feel relaxed about leaving her for the first time, and sent photos and updates of Luna each day. Harold ensured Luna got her walks, medications, treats, and belly rubs—all of which are very important! We are grateful to have Harold as a neighbor and look forward to hiring him again to care for Luna.

Tania has been our primary pet sitter for the past two years and we cannot say enough positive things about our experience working with her! She is amazingly warm, kind, thoughtful, and above all professional! She genuinely cares about our dog, Ernie and takes exceptional care of him. He is a senior dog and is both blind and mostly deaf, but Tania is always thinking of ways to engage and stimulate him - to make sure he has the most positive experience possible. Tania has watched him at our home multiple times, including most recently when we took a 20-day trip to Ireland. We were able to leave our precious fur-kid in Tania’s care with absolutely zero concerns. Not only does Tania take outstanding care of our dog, but she also takes meticulous care of our home. She waters our plants as needed, feeds our backyard squirrels and birds, and ensures that everything is even cleaner and better than we left it. We are so grateful to have found Tania and absolutely love having her care for our dog, Ernie. Tania is simply the best!

We joined Rover hoping to connect with someone who is kind, responsible, caring about animals and above all, patient, who we could forge a relationship with that would be durable for the long-term. Ikeena has all of these qualities. As a family that travels regularly, whose family and friends have generally all grown-out of the idea of a week at our place as a mini-getaway, we are so thrilled to have connected with her. We got to know each other over zoom and some schedule walks and impromptu hellos and Ikeena dealt with our nerves of building trust with aplomb. Never were we made to feel silly for wanting to meet again or another walk or for having a several pages long doc about staying at our house and caring for our sweet little brown boy, Chicks. During her recent stay here we barely worried about a thing. Ikeena kept in touch with us regularly and Chicks seriously enjoyed being not just cared for, but spoiled by her. She went above and beyond!

Sierra has been fantastic. My return home was delayed by inclement weather and I was so stressed about the wellbeing of my dog. Sierra was a huge help, fitting in extra check-ins last minute, and doing so much to keep Winnie safe and sound as I scrambled to get home from out of state. Her efforts and updates helped me feel less anxious.
