“Cara cared for my senior dog, Frito, while I was out of town for the weekend. She sent me regular updates and pictures, which were greatly appreciated. She also administered his oral medications and took him for lots of walks. I felt like Frito was in good hands the entire time, which allowed me to enjoy my friend's wedding celebration. Frito was also in good spirits when I got back! I will be sure to contact Cara for any future dog-sitting needs.”
“Ashley is awesome! She came to my home and took care of my brand new puppy, who has quite a demanding schedule. I was a super anxious new puppy mom and she put me at ease, kept me updated, and was super flexible and accommodating. Basil loved her and I felt like he was in great hands. Absolutely recommend!”
“G’La was amazing! She took such great care of Tuna and Finn while we were away for two nights and two and a half days. I felt totally at ease knowing they were in good hands. She was communicative, kind, and clearly loves animals — Tuna and Finn were so calm and happy when we got back. Couldn’t recommend her more. Will definitely be reaching out again!”
“Yena was just wonderful. We have a newer dog to our home combined with our cat who is indoor/outdoor so we needed a house sitter as opposed to just check ins for boarding. Yena was very professional, and asked all the right questions. When we were gone we received regular check ins with photos and updates of our little fur babies. We will definitely call on Yena every time we need someone to help us with our pets in the future. My wife and I highly recommend her service. Thank you Yena!”
“Aman was great house sitting our dog. It was our first time using Rover and I created some confusion but he was very gracious and helpful. Sent plenty of photos and was very communicative as we had a few unexpected packages show up. Even offered to was some dishes we’d left behind! Oh and our dog loved him. Wouldn’t hesitate to use him again!”
“He followed all of my instructions to a T and was a great house guest. I really appreciate how fast he communicated with me throughout the process. My dog normally barks at people and his calm presence was a nice fit to keep Kuta calm.”
“Della was incredibly responsive, warm, and caring to our dog! She sent lots of photos during the two day house stay and made sure our dog Pua got her medicine. We came home to a spotless house and homemade cinnamon roles in the fridge. Pua told us she had a great time with her new friend, would definitely recommend Della!”
“I had Esteban house sit to look after my big, rambunctious dog Sable for 6 days. Not only did Esteban take amazing care of my dog, he left the house in incredible condition. All my dog’s needs were met, and he sent regular pupdates. I’m a very anxious person and it was my first time using Rover, but Esteban put me at ease and I am so glad I decided to go with him. I would 100% use Esteban again if I ever leave town. I believe it’s safer and easier on my dog than boarding her at a dog hotel. You da man, Esteban!”
“Cleopatra watched my cat for 5 weeks, I’m a first time pet owner and was leaving my baby for the first time, needless to say I was nervous! She was amazing from start to finish, super responsive, she sent me lots of pics of my very happy and spoiled cat :) If you’re considering booking with Cleopatra, I can’t recommend her enough. The peace of mind to know that my pet was in good hands was priceless!”
“Ariana is wonderful! She sends frequent updates and pictures and you can tell she really loves dogs. Our Boxer puppy Hank, loves her. She also kindly deals with my nuerosis about leaving him. Highly recommended!”
“Angela was amazing! She offered to do a meet and greet before sitting, which was perfect for my dog who is a little wary of new people. I also got plenty of updates and pictures. And I was able to enjoy my time away worry free because she was in such good hands.”
“Lulia did a wonderful job of watching Mak. She sent lots of pictures and updates throughout her stay and checked in with us anytime she would be away from the house for a longer period of time. Overall, very happy with Lulia and would gladly ask her to watch Mak again!”
About: Hello! I'm Eleanore, I've always had a special connection with animals and since my apartment currently doesn't allow pets, the time I get to spend taking care of other people's pets is very rewarding. I've had animals my whole life, and as a teenager helped take care of my neighbors pets while they were away. I also have volunteered with an organization to take care of pets while they are recovering from injuries and also to help train puppies in their process of being adopted. I like to tailor care to each dog's needs, whether that is longer walks and energetic playtime or something a bit more slow-paced, I want to make sure each dog I interact with gets the care they need. I always ensure I talk with clients about the most effective ways to interact with their dog, and I ask about any behavioral issues I should keep in mind during their care. I look forward to meeting your pets and caring for them soon! As I am taking classes online, I have a very flexible schedule and am available and am available on both weekdays and weekends. From quick walks to playful sessions or simply providing a comforting presence while you’re away, I’m ready to care for your dog. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always prioritize their comfort and routine. For drop-in visits, I make sure they have fresh water, feed them according to their schedule, give them any needed potty breaks, and spend quality time playing, cuddling, or just keeping them company depending on what they enjoy most. For walks, I ensure they’re safely harnessed or leashed, take them on routes they’re comfortable with, and give them time to sniff and explore. Overall, I aim to follow their normal routine as closely as possible, keep their environment clean and safe, and communicate regularly with the owner to update them on how their pet is doing.
“I highly recommend Shelly. She's watched our dog twice now, and each time she left our place spotless, and we came home to a happy pup. She was flexible on departure time when my flight was delayed, and she even changed the clocks for us after Daylight Savings Time. Thanks!”
“Lisette was wonderful, she took great care of Zoe and left the house very clean and organized. Would definitely book again whenever we are out of town.”
“William did an outstanding job taking care of our three dogs. They were very happy when we got home and were very well cared for. He followed the instructions that we left. He left the house in great shape. This is the second time we use him to take care of our babies and will definitely use him again.”
“My little Taco loved Louis and Louis took care of my pup like his own. He was clear with communication and suggested we meet for a meet and greet which was such a great idea given how mistrustful my Taco can be with strangers. Will absolutely rebook and recommend to others!”
“Kimmy was super attentive and communicative. She arrived on time and made it super easy! Arya and her had a great time together. Thanks so much!”
“Cesar went above and beyond looking after our high-energy Dutchie, Meli. We were away for 10 days, and Meli had a great time. They went on long walks, adventures to Point Isabel, Fort Funston, and lots of ball-playing at the park. Cesar was a very welcome house guest, keeping everything clean and tidy while we were gone. We will definitely reach out to Cesar again next time we head out of town!”
“Lena was amazing with Our dog Zuko. We were gone 2+ weeks and not only did she send us regular updates, but consistently groomed him and took him to the park multiple times per day! We would recommend her again 100%!”

Gaskill pet parents share their Rover experiences
Even with our challenging and protective pup, Tobias was a dream! He was totally calm and let our dog come to him when she was ready. We will hire him again!
Always a great review for Ana. She knows Ginny and Ella so well and gives them personalized care to help them have the least stress possible when their person is away. I’m always grateful!
She was so patient and fantastic with my baby girl, Bella. Bella seemed to be in great spirits after my trip and I appreciate the consistent updates from Sophia. I would book her again :)
William is very nice and easy to coordinate with. He sent us updates on our dog and took great care of our house.
Dane was such a patient caregiver for my puppy, who was experiencing a lot of separation anxiety and having many resulting accidents. Within just a day my pup was happy to be hanging out with Dane, and based on all the play I saw in the photos he shared I can definitely see why! I’m grateful to be able to leave my home & puppy in such safe hands :)
I left my bestie with Cara for 2 weeks and I am so glad I did. She gave me daily updates and asked questions when she had them. She left my apartment clean and my pet cat happy! I am so grateful to have found her so I could enjoy my international trip!
Layle was a fantastic cat sitter and had great communication with me. I will definitely ask her to cat sit again. My cat loved her since he met her for the first time. Thanks, Layle! :)
Jasmine has stayed at our house several times now while we have been away overseas on vacation. She takes care of the house and our cat, and does an excellent job. She sends a daily photo of the cat plus a short report (sometimes two), which we enjoy. This time we asked her to administer eye drops to our cat's eye as he recovers from a corneal ulcer. We appreciated this. Jasmine is a very dependable and personable house sitter, and we recommend her.
What an amazing experience for us and our dogs! This was our first attempt with Rover and it was a success. Steph was incredibly attentive, caring, and so respectful and responsible to our furry babies and our home. Our Frenchie is an epileptic and Steph handled his seizures with diligence and empathy. Steph’s care set the bar and we hope to book again soon! Thank you Steph for such a pleasant experience!
Ariana is a very trusted, reliable overnight sitter! She was very detail oriented and patient with our large breed teenage puppy. He quickly warmed up to her and adjusted to her reinforcement of our training. We are so grateful for all the steps and playtime she got in, keeping him tired and happy!
Aman is quick to reply and very communicative. It's clear our pit bull, Munchie, loves spending time with him, which puts our dog parent nerves at ease while we're away. He takes the extra time and effort to bring her out and about to other parts of town for a diversity of walks, which we appreciate because car rides are one of Munchie's favorite activities. With Aman, you'll come home to a happy and healthy dog.
Alix did an excellent job taking care of Cassie. She was prompt and friendly and very responsible. When our plane was delayed, she was very sympathetic and stayed longer than requested to make sure our dog, who has separation anxiety, was not left alone too long. We will definitely be using her again.
Brady was a wonderful dog/cat/house sitter, we would absolutely trust him to care for our critters again. Everything went super smoothly, I loved getting some pictures and videos of our buds while we were away. Thanks Brady!
Sam is fantastic, a true master communicator with dogs. She adores living their lives with them, taking them out on the trails and playing their favorite games. Couldn’t be happier to leave our pup in her hands when we’re out of town.
Dawnly was so responsive and willing to jump in and help out when we needed last minute coverage. Our dogs are not the friendliest with newcomers, and they handled them our babies with love and grace. They took great care of our fur babies and were very communicative when they had questions to give our babies the best care. One of our dogs requires meds and Dawnly carefully followed the schedule for administering meds. We would love to work with them again.
Yena has taken excellent care of my baby, Maisy, twice now! I would definitely recommend her and would love to have her back again!!
Priscilla was amazing with our anxious pup. She was so patient and calm and really allowed him to warm up to her at his own speed. She gave us daily photo updates and it was clear our dog was in great hands! She stayed at our house for 6 days and we had no issues. We will definitely book her again!
Abraham was communicative and flexible. He cared well for our cat, sending us pictures so that we didn't miss the little kitty too much. He kept things tidy around our home. We would definitely hire Abraham again and recommend him to friends and family.
Tia is an absolute gem of a human! My babies adored her. She was attentive, caring, and so sweet! I have an XXXL dog + a medium o up & a cat & she spent time with each of them, walked the pups twice a day, and made time to play with my kitten. 10/10 recommend- she’s fantastic!
Have you ever wanted to travel but the spot wouldn't allow your dog?! I was invited by friends to a place that I really wanted to go for a few days off work that sadly didn't allow dogs (other than service animals). While I feel like Aggie provides a lot of services to me :), she technically isn't a service animal, so I was on the fence on going. My friend actually recommended Charlene, and I'm reaaaaaaaly glad they did! In sum, Charlene was incredibly responsive, responsible, and thoughtful about the house sitting arrangement. I appreciated our phone call and in-person visit before my trip/the exchange - it was a nice chance to bring our profiles to life, talk through questions, look at the actual spaces. Charlene asked really thorough questions, which made me feel at ease and at peace to be able to make this trip happen. I loved getting a few photos during my time way - walking, hanging out at the house, sleeping, etc. - and getting short updates from Charlene once in a while. Charlene helped give me piece of mind which helped me to relax more during my trip. On day 2 of my trip, I had a deep inkling/feeling in my stomach about something that I needed to communicate with Charlene regarding Aggie and her care. I texted Charlene in the early morning, and Charlene responded back by the end of the morning to help address it - that gave me so much peace of mind, and I appreciated Charlene's responsiveness and flexibility! It was sweet to reconnect back with Aggie and Charlene at my return/pick up, and I'm grateful Charlene and I had a moment to talk more about their time together at that moment. Aggie seemed happy and content during our reunion :) My infatuation and obsession with dogs started at an early age for me, and I think there's something special about people who've had dogs in their lives. There's an ease, deep level of sympathy/empathy, trust, and both a firmness and softness that I witness in dog caregivers.. I witness all of these things and more in Charlene, and I believe any dog/animal would be lucky to be taken care of by Charlene. Highly recommended!
