“Tracey was phenomenal from the first meeting. She stayed with our 3 rescues for 9 days and not only took care of their basic needs, but made them feel comfortable in our absence. Their individual quirks did not phase her at all. Tracey had the desire to understand each dog and know how to best care for and interact with each one as they are all very different from one another. Upon our return all 3 dogs were calm and happy and had clearly been well cared for; in addition our house was left spotless and organized. Tracey is a professional and uses her extensive experience with dogs to provide exceptional care to the dogs lucky enough to stay with her.”


“Zhi is phenomenal ! She took care of our two dogs for a week at our home. They enjoyed time with her spoiling them with treats and plenty of attention. Our older dog requires a little more care and Zhi did just that. She was so kind and caring to him, he truly loved her attention. Our younger dog has separation anxiety, Zhi was very attentive to him. He loved the walks she took him on. He loved her so much that when she left for a bit his howling made my neighbors worried lol. All in all, Zhi is an exemplar dog sitter. How she cared for our doggies and kept our home clean and tidy was well beyond expectation. Thank you Zhi ! Ollie misses you already.”

“I love having Sejla come and stay with my dog and two cats. I know that they are going to be well taken care of and loved and nurtured just as if I were home. She is amazing and I know when I go away I will be able to do so knowing with full confidence my fur babies are in great hands.”


“It was a great pleasure to have Danyel look after our little guy and home. As a siamese, he isn't the quietest cat to look after and has a particular set of routine he needs to follow but Danyel looked after him to the T! She was incredibly responsive, communicative, and went above and beyond the required ask to make sure our home and cat is burdened free by the time we got back from our trip. Thanks Danyel!”

“I have asked Michelle to cat-sit my kitty twice now and she has been great! My cat has separation anxiety and not only is Michelle great at calming her down, she plays with her a lot. She does a great job of making sure the litter is scooped, water is filled, and food bowls full. She has also been very respectful of my home; she is very clean. I will be asking her to cat-sit my Nugget in the future.”

“Joy was absolutely wonderful with our dog! This was our first time having a dog sitter come to our home, and Joy made the experience so comfortable and stress-free. I could tell right away that Skye was treated with so much care and love. Joy kept us updated, took great care of her during walks, and was very attentive and thoughtful. We felt completely at ease knowing Skye was in such good hands. We will definitely be rebooking her in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter! 🥰🐾”

“Elizabeth did a wonderful job caring for our little dog, Coco. She connected well with Coco during our meet and greet. Coco is a bit shy and she warmed to Elizabeth immediately. While we were away, Elizabeth sent us updates of how the two of them were doing. She also took excellent care of our home — leaving things nicer than she found them! I would highly recommend her as a dog and house sitter. We are looking forward to having her back!”

“Stephanie was amazing with our dog! She was great at communicating and felt extremely comfortable with leaving my dog in her hands! I will definitely be asking her to dog sit again!!”


“Stacey is great and really takes the time to do what's best for your pets. Mine all have issues with each other and Stacey went above and beyond to make sure my two dogs and a cat were able to get along and also gave them lots of individual attention. I recommend her highly for any house sitting or pet sitting job that you might have.”

“Niva is truly exceptional — we cannot recommend her enough! She took care of our 2.5-year-old cat for an entire month, and from the very beginning, she was absolutely wonderful. Despite accepting our request on short notice, she showed up with full commitment, not only caring for our cat with incredible attention and love but also looking after our home as if it were her own. Niva is an excellent communicator — proactive, thoughtful, and consistently keeping us updated with daily photos and messages that gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear she took the time to deeply understand our cat’s personality and needs, asking insightful questions and going above and beyond to ensure comfort and happiness. Our cat adored her instantly, and honestly, we’re convinced Niva is a bit of a cat whisperer! We even learned a lot from her during this experience. When we unexpectedly had to extend our trip by a week, Niva was incredibly understanding and accommodating. She even went out of her way to help us explore backup options, which meant so much to us during a stressful moment. On top of everything, she handled deliveries, collected mail, looked after our plants, and left our home in a pristine condition. Niva was truly a godsend. Both we and our cat absolutely love her, and we wouldn’t hesitate for a second to work with her again. We hope to have her back soon!”


About: I’ve spent my whole life around dogs, and caring for them truly comes naturally to me! I grew up in an animal loving home and on a homestead, so I’m very comfortable with a wide range of routines, environments, and personalities, and I genuinely love getting to know what makes each dog unique. I’m a behavioral analyst by profession, which means I bring a calm, patient, and thoughtful approach to every dog I care for. I also cared for my rescue pitbull for over six years, supporting his behavioral needs with consistency, understanding, and a lot of love. That experience deeply shaped how I connect with dogs, especially those who may need a little extra patience or structure to feel safe and comfortable! I’m happy to meet your dog exactly where they are. If they’re active, I’m all in for walks, runs, hikes, and playtime! If they prefer a slower pace, I’m just as happy keeping things calm, cozy, and predictable. I have experience with a variety of breeds, ages, and temperaments, and I truly enjoy adapting to what helps each dog feel their best. I know how important it is to feel confident when leaving your dog with someone. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your dog is happy, cared for, and getting lots of attention. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! 🐾 Pet care fits very naturally into my routine! I work a consistent 9–5 schedule, which makes me especially reliable for morning, evening, and overnight care. I’m a great fit for pets who thrive on routine and calm, predictable support. I work just two blocks from my home, so if your pet is staying with me, I’m able to be very present throughout the day. I always prioritize time before work, can come home during lunch to check in, and then we have the entire evening together for walks, play, or relaxing depending on their needs. On weekends, I’m fully available and love dedicating that time to longer walks, outings, or giving your pet extra attention and companionship. My schedule allows me to be consistent, attentive, and make sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and happy! 🐾 Safety and trust are always my top priorities. In my home, I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment with a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor time. I also have space for a crate if your pet is crate-trained or benefits from having their own designated area. I’m very attentive to routines and will follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and any specific preferences. I take time to understand each pet’s temperament and make sure they feel safe and comfortable, whether that means giving them space or more engagement. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and aim to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. I stay observant, keep doors and gates secure, and prioritize safety at all times. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. 🐾
“This is the second time we have had Gabriela watch over our dog and cat. We would highly recommend her, she is very friendly, great with the animals, easy to communicate with and sends lots of updates and pictures. We look forward to her watching our pets in the future!”


About: I’ve been a pet owner for over 3 years. Your fur baby will always be in great hands! My schedule can always accommodate your schedule. I am currently looking for a full time job, so my schedule is completely open to show your fur baby the best love and care! Your pet will always be well taken care of, well fed, extremely loved, and treated like our own. I’m very active for the best walks for your pet!
“Amazing 2 weeks house, dog and cat sitting by Rachel. Incredibly communicative, sends LOTS of photos, and really understands how important her job is to care our babies and home. Exceptional care of everything and handled any and all unexpected circumstances with grace and grit. Would 100% recommend and use again!”

About: I take direction very well and have lots of experience caring for cats. I always pay attention to cats' body language and make sure not to cross boundaries if they are not receptive to strangers. With that being said, I am comfortable with most types of routine care tasks I'm working part-time and going to school part-time, so I can be flexible to drop by your place (multiple times throughout the day if needed) to care for your fur baby I respect any and all rules that you have for your place and will adhere to them. I am mindful of hazards within as well as outside the home and will be sure to notify you if I observe anything that is out of the ordinary for your peace of mind.
“Kaili was great! She watched our two large dogs for two nights at our home, and we couldn’t have been happier. Our dogs have a lot of energy and definitely come with their own quirks, but she handled them so well. She kept us updated throughout her stay, was very respectful of our home, and left everything clean and tidy. We would absolutely book with her again. 5/5 stars!”

“We had the pleasure of rebooking Mamu for a two week trip, and once again, they did a wonderful job caring for my high energy dog. Mamu is incredibly thoughtful and attentive by sending daily pictures and videos but also going the extra mile to care for my dog's specific needs. They have been working with my dog on his leash pulling. Mamu isn't just watching over your furry friend, but they truly engages with them and wants to help them thrive. Mamu is also very observant and always quick to communicate if something seems off or needs attention. My dog absolutely ADORES Mamu. If you’re lucky enough to book with Mamu, know that your pet, home and your peace of mind are in the best hands.”

“Tianyu (Scarlett) was absolutely incredible! From the start, she did a meet & greet with our dog Lola and asked thoughtful questions — setting the tone for just how attentive and caring she is. She house sat and cared for Lola for 5 days, sending detailed daily updates and photos that gave us total peace of mind. She was also extremely responsive whenever we reached out, and when we got home, the house was spotless. Truly above and beyond care — for both Lola and our home! We’d absolutely recommend Scarlett to anyone looking for a sitter who will treat your pet and home with the utmost care. We’ll definitely be booking her again! 🐾”

Fruitdale pet parents share their Rover experiences
Mamoo did a fabulous house sitting job while we were out of town for four days. Was very proactive with sending pictures and videos several times a day. Our two dogs appeared to really enjoy Mamoo. The house was in as good or better shape than when we left! Very pleased with Mamoo!
Zhi is phenomenal ! She took care of our two dogs for a week at our home. They enjoyed time with her spoiling them with treats and plenty of attention. Our older dog requires a little more care and Zhi did just that. She was so kind and caring to him, he truly loved her attention. Our younger dog has separation anxiety, Zhi was very attentive to him. He loved the walks she took him on. He loved her so much that when she left for a bit his howling made my neighbors worried lol. All in all, Zhi is an exemplar dog sitter. How she cared for our doggies and kept our home clean and tidy was well beyond expectation. Thank you Zhi ! Ollie misses you already.

Jamie took great care of my dog and made me feel comfortable while I was away. She was reliable, attentive, kind, patient, and very sweet with him. My dog seemed happy and well cared for, and it gave me peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. I would absolutely book with her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.
Coralee is the best! She took wonderful care of my two dogs and three birds while I was out of town. She kept in frequent communication with notes and pictures which showed how much fun all of the critters were having! I came home to a spotless house and happy cared for animals. I will definitely be booking Coralee again.

Kristina gave me complete peace of mind while caring for my dogs. From the moment we met her, she had such a calm, kind, and reassuring energy, and my dogs immediately felt comfortable around her. She took the time to carefully listen to Lola’s specific needs and followed every instruction exactly as requested, which meant so much to me. I am especially grateful for the attention and care she gave to Lola. Throughout the entire stay, she kept me updated with frequent photos and messages, so I always knew how my girls were doing. Her communication was excellent, and I never had to wonder how they were doing because she was always proactive about keeping me informed. My request was made on short notice, but she still went out of her way to accommodate us, and I truly appreciated her flexibility and willingness to help. I’m incredibly thankful for the care she provided and would absolutely trust her with my dogs again. Highly recommended!

Danyel was terrific staying with my rescue Doodle whom I’d only had for 3 weeks so far. She spent the better part of two consecutive days with him, including exercising him in the backyard and feeding him dinner. She is a thoughtful, personable young woman who’s clearly experienced and expert in caring for pets.

Damian was a great sitter for our two kitties, Lizzie and Mei Mei. He stayed at our house for 10 days and was very responsive, providing daily check ins, as well as extremely punctual and professional. We will definitely be reaching out to him next time we need cat sitting! The cats were comfortable and so happy when we got back.

Devin was a fantastic dog sitter. He was communicative, punctual, proactive, and went above and beyond taking care of our two dogs. He took them on lots of adventures and you could tell the dogs really enjoyed his company. The house was clean when we got home. Looking forward to having him sit again in the future!

The hardest part of my rare vacation out of the country was the thought and planning that went in months in advance for the care of my senior, special-needs pup. I was about to give up right before I found Sabrina. She was a perfect match for him, and I had so much peace of mind that she was the guardian of my house while I was away. My dog is blind, and she was so patient as she learned how to take him for a walk. She sent adorable photos every day of their little excursions. She even confirmed that he got his "happy trot" going. He really must have trusted her. All the the plants are still thriving, too. I wish I could give even more stars for this review.
