Our second time booking with Maria and we’re just as happy! She’s reliable and keeps very good communication on everything. Our shy guy is starting to get used to her too, which is awesome she takes the time to build on that. Next time we’re gone I will gladly book with her again! She’s great!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of various kinds since I was 10. Friends, family and neighbors have relied on me to walk, feed and play with their pets. Currently I work on a 10 month contract. Therefore I have summer off so I have plenty of time to provide pet care to those in need of such services. I am a very trustworthy person who has tremendous respect for other people’s property and belongings. I especially respect pets with their needs and desires.

Sophie was so great with our pup! She was great at communicating and being flexible with our changing schedule. She sent great photos and videos and a sweet description of the walk. She truly goes above and beyond and I would 100% recommend her to take care of your pups! Will definitely be rebooking with her when we have the opportunity :)

About: I’ve taken care of friends and families pets for 5 years now. I love all animals and believe all pets deserve the best care while their owners are away. I’ve had cats, dogs, hamsters, fish, shrimp, and snails over the years and am comfortable with all kinds of pets! I’ve just returned home from the Disney college program and am off for the summer before I go back to college. I’m very flexible and available for whatever your needs might be any day of the week. I love my pets and their care is a very high priority. I’ll care for your pets as if they are my own and ensure they’re safely cared for while you are away.

About: I’ve owned and cared for many types of animals throughout my life. I have experience with dogs, cats, small animals, some birds and reptiles. I am my family’s and neighbors go-to pet sitter. I am looking forward to taking care of your loved pet as well! As a full time caregiver, my schedule can be flexible to fit your specific pet sitting needs. I have a 3 year old Shepard/ Husky mix and a cat that likes to keep to himself. I'd love to stick to your routine as much as possible. If boarding with me, it is important all animals get along and are kid friendly. Please provide any toys/blankets that may help comfort your pup while they stay. Outside time can be on a leash in the backyard, a troll down the sidewalk, or a trip to the park.

Amanda has been awesome the last couple weeks! We needed someone to come by and check in on our new puppy while we are at work during the week. Copper loves spending time with her and she has been flexible to cater to what he needs each day. Thanks Amanda for taking great care of our boy.

Joni was great. I was nervous leaving my cats home. They dont do well being on their own for extended periods. Joni played with them and cuddled with them. She also had no problem, on short notice, feeding them the last day as my neighbor could not. The cats are happy and so am I.

About: Hello! I grew up on a farm where we had plenty of dogs and cats and your basic farm animals. I have trained and taken care of all different types of breeds. I have had English bulldogs to labs to Dobermans. I have gone to dog training classes and have experience with puppies and older dogs. My senior English bulldog passed away and I am not in a position to have a puppy full time. So I would love some animals around the house to keep my company! The days I’m available are when I’m off work and spend most my time at home on these days. Therefore I can fully take care of them, play with them and train if needed. Well in my home I have a fenced in back yard, but I would still watch and hang out with them if that’s where they wanted to be. I would take the animals on walks as directed by the owner. I live in a very safe area with families and it’s a fun neighborhood to walk around in. At both the owners and my home I would make sure the dogs always have water unless otherwise directed- this is very important especially in hot climates like CA.

This was our first time using Rover and we are happy with our experience with Shaunna! Definitely going to rebook her the next time we need a dog sitter! She was so kind when we met her in person, my dog and my little daughters liked her. Shaunna was communicative throughout the whole week we were gone, she took pictures and went above and beyond. She brought Estee out to use the restroom, went on walks, gave medication, refilled her water bowl, and gave her lots of cuddles. We are very thankful for her taking care of our sheltie Estee!

About: Adopted a whippet 5 years ago named Boo. She’s a certified therapy dog and is incredibly well behaved. I myself taught her how to sit, stay, twirl in a circle, give paw and to touch her nose to my fist. I’ll have no issue training your puppy, just as much as I’ll have no issue in administering medications to your doggy as well. Any special routines they may have as well, I have no problem following it to a T! I’m currently unemployed so I’ll be available anytime you may need me to watch your pets. Weekdays, weekends and even staying the night! I also have my own car so if for whatever reason an emergency vet trip is needed to be made, I can do so safely and quickly. I have a fenced in backyard and a 4 year old whippet who loves to play chase. Mostly because you can’t catch her. She has her own kennel that she sleeps in. Anything you have listed for me to do in your home, will be completed, while ensuring your pet is getting enough attention of course. I will follow your instructions to a T.

About: Hi, I am a volunteer EMT and have a life long passion for dogs and all animals. On my spare time, my wife (Melinda) and I enjoy various aspects of the outdoors, no matter the season. We frequently pet sit for my brother-in law's German Shepard, who is full of energy, of which I have learned all the commands and public interaction techniques. This has been ongoing for approximately the past 4 years. * Melinda and I extensively clean and disinfect our house not only before and after each dog but also on a regular basis as well. We are excited to be part of your dog care needs and you can be sure your pets will be well taken care of with us as a smooth transition. Whether it is walking, playing, or pet sitting, we are here to help! Please message us as you know your plans. Thank you for your consideration and we look forward to hearing from you! Conveniently I work very close to home and can come home to check on the puppy on my lunch break though that time varies from day to day. We have a long lead in our backyard that we can adjust accordingly and we are always outside with your fur-baby. We also have friendly neighbors and multiple eyes checking in periodically. My wife and I have a fleece-lined jacket 4 any puppy to help combat the weather. Additionally we have couch protectors, Memory Foam bed, a basket of toys, and food and water dish set up

About: I have owned Dogs all my life. I believe that immediate recall is the most important tool for all Dog owners. I also believe in challenging Dogs brains with games like find it hide and seek. A tired Dog at the end of each day is a happy Dog. I exercise my Dog every day. I have a Doberman she is the start and end to my Day. With high energy Dogs they need lots of body and mind stimulation to maintain a healthy Dog . I treat each Dog as if they were my own. Well trained well exercised and most importantly immediate recall. If your Dog doesn’t have immediate recall when I meet them. They will the first time I watch them. To me that is the most significant training tool for every Dog owners including myself.

I can’t say enough good things about Steph. She does a midday check-in for our 1 yo Australian shepherd a few days a week and he absolutely loves her. He can be a little particular about who he decides is part of the pack and Steph was able to warm him up very quickly, no doubt due to her extensive experience with animals. Steph’s communication is excellent, she’s willing to tailor her service to our dog’s needs and I have total peace of mind leaving our fur baby in her hands because she’s proven to be capable and dependable. She’s even brought one of her dogs and/or kids along sometimes to help us socialize him because I mentioned he struggled with those things. 10/10 would recommend booking Steph.

I needed a last minute sitter over a holiday weekend and Matthew was great! He was quick to respond and took care with our dog Flynn. He was communicative during my time away and continued to provide quality walks even in the rain!
