“Anaïs did an amazing job taking care of our dog while we were away! She did twice daily check ins and was very punctual and communicative. Our dog has medical needs that were met while we were away. We would definitely hire Anaïs again!”


“We are so grateful for Megan! She is so amazing with our dog. The most important thing is that she loves our dog, which she absolutely does, but she also goes out of her way to make the experience great for the humans. She always sends updates and pictures and lets us feel comfortable knowing our girl is being taken care of when we can’t take her with us. Thank you so much, Megan!!”


“Angelique is the BEST!!! I have an elderly 14 year old Pitmix with high dietary supplement and high care needs. My character-judgung do g took to ger instantly with her loving animal vibe. She was loving, patient and took pics with sweet notes to settle any of my anxiousness about leaving her. She also took amazing care of my shy cat and my mouse. And she did small chores for a minimal fee. Angelique is dependable and when I got home I was so impressed on how she maintained my home and furbabies. We would hire her again as we would look no further!!! Thanks , Angelique 😍🤩”


“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.😺”


“Marlene just did the first drop in visit for our two dogs. She was very communicative, punctual, and made sure to secure the house when she left. Plus it was a very rainy day, and she got the dogs all cleaned up when they came in from the yard. Glad we found a reliable person.”

About: I have had pets since I was young. Dogs, cats, snakes, hamsters, guinea pigs, and more. I am comfortable around all animals. I can give medication and provide individualized food.

About: Hi, Meghan here, I have always been a dog-lover, and currently have a lovable fluffy husky. I live in Oakland with my mom, a fellow dog-lover! I allow our furry friends on the couch, but can also work on furniture-boundaries if your pooch isn't allowed on furniture at your own home. I work from home, so I'll be home most of the day during the weekdays. The longest your pup will be home alone (with my pups) is around 5 hours. I am comfortable with big dogs. I can give medications, and can brush your pooch as well! Here's a little about us: Meghan has been a dog-lover since birth. She grew up with dogs of all shapes and sizes. Treesa loves pups of all sizes! Meet my pets: Just the dogs! About my yard We have a fenced backyard. My experience administering medication We are comfortable administering oral medication. **We do have a Potty Clause. We understand accidents happen, and are very forgiving, as pups are often excited and can't help themselves at first. However, we have occasionally had extreme repeat offenders. We take dogs on the basis that they are potty trained. If we feel there are an excessive number of indoor incidents, we will let you know, and ask for a $10 additional fee (per week, or fraction thereof), to cover the cost of laundry and cleaning supplies.** Thanks! I work from home so your pup will hang out with me and Winston at home, join us on walks, and get to spend the day with us! I have a fenced yard. Security gate at my back door means fresh air without escape opportunity. We're working on installing a dog door, so that should happen later this year!

“Nayeli was a life saver! We had to find a Rover during our Spring Break cancellation and Nayeli rose to the occasion. She was very communicative, thorough and loving with our fur babies. When a hiccup with our travels came up, Nayeli was more than willing to stop by again after the job was completed. I really appreciated her notes and photos. I would love to hire Nayeli again!”


“Very communicative and friendly. Dropped by to do a walk through before taking on a week of caring for Izzy. Sent photos and texts to keep me updated. Wonderful!”


“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!”

I had made back-up arrangements which she handled with great responsibility so that Dogen suffered almost no trauma as her sudden departure! He's now happy and so am I, and just hoping Nicolde gets well soon!”

About: I’ve loved animals my entire life! I’ve always had a pet and they’ve ranged from chickens to spiders. I started pet sitting when I was 16 and am currently working at a dog daycare/boarding place and am a dog handler that will love and care for your pups no matter age or size! :))<3 Apart from being a student (on break) I’m also working part-time at a dog daycare on the weekends so during the week I’m usually free!

“Lauren is an EXCELLENT pet sitter. She is very attentive and goes above and beyond to meet the needs of your pet! She is extremely knowledgeable and provides plenty of pictures/updates. I would highly recommend her services!”


About: As avid dog lovers with over 15 years of experience, we've cared for various breeds, including our own Shih Tzu who sadly passed away last year. We also frequently looked after our brother’s French Bulldog, who happily reunited with our Shih Tzu, and a Siberian Husky, along with other family dogs. Living in a pet-friendly community with ample grassy areas, your pups will have plenty of space to roam and play. Before your drop-off, we'd love to arrange a meet and greet to acquaint ourselves with you and your furry companions! This is not our first time on Rover. We have been dog-sitting on Rover for about 3 years. The first two years were under a different account with our mom because of age. So we did it together with our parents and were very happy with both animal and human clientele who were just as happy with our services. If you would like to see reviews from then I can send over those Rover Account details as well! We understand the importance of ensuring both you and your beloved pets have peace of mind while you're away, and we're dedicated to providing them with a safe and enjoyable experience under our care! We are currently completely free, accommodating both weekdays and weekends. Our days will be completely catered to the needs of your babies. We understand the importance of convenience, offering flexible pick-up and drop-off times, including same-day services. Whether it's a weekday, weekend, or holiday, we're here to ensure seamless care for your beloved pets. We offer a fenced backyard patio and expansive grassy areas within our community, and we're happy to provide photos of the surroundings upon request prior to booking. Alternatively, we can arrange a meet and greet so you can explore our dog-friendly and secure neighborhood firsthand. Our area boasts ample walking spaces and provides poop bags for your convenience. For crate-trained dogs, we recommend bringing their crate to ensure their comfort. Additionally, please bring any items that will help your dog feel at ease and secure during their stay. If your dog requires medication, be sure to bring it along. While we do offer some dog treats, feel free to bring your pup's favorites to ensure they feel right at home. Your pets' comfort and safety are our top priorities, and we strive to make their stay as enjoyable as possible!

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.”

Jasmine's genuine love for animals shines through in every interaction. Not only does she provide a safe and nurturing environment, but she also goes above and beyond to cater to each dog's individual needs. The regular photo updates she sends are a delightful touch, reassuring me that my pup is having a blast. I highly recommend Jasmine to anyone in need of top-notch dog sitting services. She's a true gem in the pet care industry!”
Elmhurst Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
Andy dropped in to care for our cats while we were away and we were really happy with how things went. Andy was friendly, a great communicator (good pics and summaries of visits, patient with coordination ahead of time), and conscientious about our cats' special dietary and medicine needs. The cats seemed get along with him very well, and we would gladly use his services again.

Angélica was amazing. I found a dog in my neighborhood the night prior and needed to take her to the shelter to be returned to her owner, but the shelter didn’t open until the afternoon and I needed to go to work. She accepted my super last minute rover request, was super sweet and send lots of updates. I really appreciate her coming through to take care of her!!

Excellent experience- I made a very last-minute request for a drop-in and a time change and Ashlyn was totally flexible and communicative with me! She took great care of the dogs, took careful notes and listened to all of the instructions for them, and made sure the whole experience was seamless. 100% recommend.

Nayeli was a life saver! We had to find a Rover during our Spring Break cancellation and Nayeli rose to the occasion. She was very communicative, thorough and loving with our fur babies. When a hiccup with our travels came up, Nayeli was more than willing to stop by again after the job was completed. I really appreciated her notes and photos. I would love to hire Nayeli again!

Shana is a gem! I’m a new cat mom and being away is hard for me, but upon meeting Shana I was instantly put at ease and my cat felt very comfortable around her calming energy. Knowing my little guy was in good hands while I was away made the distance a bit easier. She was communicative with great little recaps and pix that I looked forward to daily 😻
