“My chihuahua and sisters German shepherd/black lab mix loved having Angelique stay with them during our weekend away. Angelique was so kind to do a visit ahead of time, was very communicative, and organized her schedule around our dogs. My dog loves to cuddle and definitely got all of the love from Angelique. We’d love to have her back to stay at our place with cooper in the future.”

“Johnatan took care of my dog for 2 weeks. He’d feed her and walk her twice a day. He was always respectful and kept me posted about my dog’s activities. He washed the linens before departing and even gave my dog a quick bath (he forgot the blow-drying part though). As much as I’d like to give him 5 stars, there’s still room for improvement as he forgot to leave the sliding door open for the dog to go outside leading to the dog peeing and popping inside of the house. He sometimes took 8+ hours to get back home and a couple of nights he wasn’t able to return at all and my dog slept alone. The latter due to he working part time at a place located 1 hr away from our home. Overall, a thrustful boy who just needs to get more experience.”

“Josie was great, spent 5 days taking care of our home and our two pups. Gave regular updates, and left the house immaculate. Thanks Josie! Hope to have you help us again in the future!”

“Christine was wonderful and kept me informed with everything that was going on at my house. When I got home, the dogs were calm, which to me is a good sign of a caring sitter.”

“Book her without hesitation! It was the first time that my husband and I were having a dog sitter over our house so we were a little anxious, but Melina was extremely kind and helpful. She was sending a lot of pictures and updates of our puppy while my partner and I were out. Our little Sansa loved her! Plus she gave us a lot of advices about training and puppy behavior! THANK YOU SO MUCH!”

“Dane was amazing and I’m so relieved to have found such a great sitter on our first go at Rover. He’s extremely communicative and took amazing care of both our cat and dog. We received frequent updates and photos and knew both our babies were in good hands. Our dog was extremely well exercised, and Dane went above and beyond to still check in and greet our cat (while giving her space) who doesn’t do well with people. Dane also went above and beyond to leave our house neater than when he first arrived! Would highly recommend Dane, and I’m so glad to know we have a reliable, trusted sitter for future vacations!”

“Diana did great with our dog, who doesn’t always warm up to new folks! She also left our home looking spotless, which was so appreciated. Would definitely hire again!”

“Tami had a GREAT connection with Lucy. She quickly figured out Lucy's personality, her likes/dislikes, favorite activities (going to the beach) and also the ins and outs of my apartment and building. Tami did a wonderful job of sending me pictures at least twice a day so that I could feel at peace that my girl was happy and being taken good care of.”

“Couldn’t recommend Eleanna more! She watched our dog and cat while we were away for a week and was very communicative the whole time. She sent us lots of pictures and made sure they both got lots of exercise and love.”

“Qishu was amazing with our high energy dog and extremely communicative with us. We received lots of updates and pictures over all the days we were gone. We would unreservedly recommend Qishu to anyone!”

“Salina was very punctual and communicative. She stayed at our house and took care of our senior dog and outdoor cats for 2 days and we felt totally comfortable with her making sure everyone was well taken care of!”

“We were so happy that Alyssa was available to watch our cat and house sit! She is super friendly and she clearly communicated with us during our time away. We got regular updates on our kitty and when we returned to our house it was neat and tidy. We would definitely book her again!”

“Bola is just lovely. She is considerate, thoughtful, and took amazing care of our dogs (on short notice no less!) We had never hired a house sitter before and are now wondering why we never did, when there are people like Bola in the world. I feel like I owe them a ride to the airport. Like not even OAK. I owe them a ride to SFO or San Jose. Thank you Bola. We’ll be hoping you’re available every time.”

“Tina helped us out with our two dogs for a second time, this time pet sitting in our home. Tina was great, sent us updates, and was generally easy to work with. Would definitely hire Tina again. Thank you Tina!”

“Nicole was fantastic. She took care of our senior dog and two cats and all three were doing great when we returned. She took time and care with each animal, especially with our skittish cat who is very frightened of new people. Our house looked fantastic when we returned, Nicole had even changed the sheets and washed her towels! And she stayed in constant communication with us, sending pictures all the time. We highly recommend Nicole and will definitely use her again in the future.”

About: I’ve been housesitting and taking care of pets for about 10 years. I work remotely full-time so this allows me to spend time with the fur babies and be present. I’m comfortable with anything thrown my way. I have taken care of big and small dogs, cats, bunnies, hamsters, etc. I also have experience administering medicine if needed. I work remotely so I am able to spend loads of time with your fur babies. I’m available every day and any time. I teach dance classes as well but that usually is only twice a week for an hour or so. I will make sure your pets are safe with me and follow any instructions you may leave. I treat your pet as if they were mine and will make sure to check in with you to give you peace of mind, if you wish.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fairfax
Moana sprained her leg just a day before Elisa was booked to house sit, but Elisa didn't even flinch and just showed up ready to take copious notes about our adjusted care instructions. She sent detailed reports each day with captioned pictures so we were constantly at ease and able to enjoy our time away knowing our baby was in the best hands. So grateful to have found Elisa ❤️❤️❤️

Eleanna provided amazing care for our high energy and reactive dog. She didn't come off as someone who just casually watches dogs in her spare time; she has the expertise and approach of a true professional. More than anything, we felt completely at ease during our vacation that our pet was being cared for with love.

Emilia and Ion are a super team! They do a great job for our weekly walks and an even better job as house & pet sitters! They visiting our two dogs 4x daily and generously kept them company inbetween visits too! They even watered our garden! I couldn’t ask for a single thing more in a sitter and will definitely be using them again

Anais was a great choice for caring for our dog Drew. She was communicative and provided lots of updates and we came back to a clean home exactly as we left it. She was also available with only a couple weeks notice which we appreciated when we had another sitter fall through. I’d gladly have her again.

Ashley was a great dog & house sitter! She deeply understands animals, especially large dogs. Great communication, updates, and care for our dog over our wedding weekend which gave us peace of mind to enjoy our time away. Ashley took great care of our place and went above and beyond with a couple house tasks and nice notes to welcome us home. Would absolutely recommend her to watch your pets and place!!
