“Anna was wonderful!!! Kept in contact with pictures and videos! Anna cared for my dogs like they were her own! Great communication, followed all directions, and played ball with Remington!! Anna is GREAT!!!!”

“Cara was wonderful from the first meet and greet and throughout her stay. She accommodated changes due to the passing of our one dog and comforting Luna during her transition to being a single dog. Luna had tummy issues and Cara stayed with her and gave her medication. I would absolutely use Cara again.”

“Highly recommend Athena as your sitter! She is kind and thoughtful. Very responsible. She responded to my messages almost immediately every time I reached out and that was so important to me. My house was cleaner when I got home then before I left, lol… I will absolutely use her services again!!”

“Sean and my boys hit it off right away. It’s so fortunate I am able to travel and feel comfortable with who has my boys and living in my home. Not once did I worry. Every day I got a picture of my boys in different locations of our home and I had NO worries. Thank you Rover.com and thank you Sean.”

“Amber was great to work with while she stayed in our home with our three dogs. She loved on them all weekend and we could tell the dogs were happy and much more comfortable at home than at a kennel.”

“Danielle has become my go-to sitter. She always takes such great care of my dog—making him special treats, playing with him, and ensuring he’s happy and comfortable while I’m away. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog/house sitter.”

“Ana was absolutely amazing with Ella and Lacey! From the moment we connected, I could tell how much she genuinely cares for animals. She took excellent care of both of them, sending regular updates, adorable photos, and making sure they were comfortable, happy, and well-loved while I was away. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. I would highly recommend Anna to anyone looking for a responsible, trustworthy, and loving caregiver for their pets. Thank you Ana! 🐾❤️”

“Dannie was amazing with our 13 year old dog Sienna! She followed all the directions for taking care of her and was great about sending us updates and pictures throughout the day. I would highly recommend her especially if you are nervous about leaving your dog when you travel. She put our mind at ease and helped us enjoy our trip. We will definitely be hiring her again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Edward did a great job taking care of our 2 senior dogs. One is super high maintenance so the fact that Edward didn’t shy away from taking care of her was a giant win! We came back the house was exactly as we left it. He is extremely reliable and communicative. It’s a comfort to know that we have found someone we trust to take care of our babies when we can’t. I’m happy to provide anyone a reference if needed.”
About: Hi my name is Shannon. I grew up with a Shih Tzu and have cared for dogs for friends, family, and acquaintances over the years, providing walks, feedings, playtime, and companionship while their owners were away. I have recent experience with both young dogs and senior dogs (including a 13-year-old), and I’m comfortable adjusting energy levels, pacing walks appropriately, and offering extra patience when needed. I’m attentive to instructions and respectful of each dog’s personality and routine. I’m happy to provide regular updates so owners feel at ease while they’re gone. I currently have flexible availability and offer dog walking, drop-in visits for cats and dogs, and pet/house sitting. I enjoy spending time with animals and am happy to accommodate your pet’s routine, whether that means daytime walks, evening check-ins, or overnight care. My goal is to provide consistent, dependable support while you’re away. I care for pets in their own homes so they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and preferred routines. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and comfort level, and I prioritize safety at all times. I respect your home, keep spaces clean, and provide regular updates so you feel confident knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Olivia was the absolute best. She did such a wonderful job taking care of my Maddie. She did a great job communicating and sent me daily updates. I highly recommend her. Thank you for taking such great care of my sweet pup Olivia ❤️”

About: I care for dogs with a calm, attentive approach tailored to each pet’s needs. Whether that means providing structure for high-energy dogs, a gentle pace for anxious ones, or consistency with routines, my goal is to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and treat every dog like my own, making sure they’re well cared for, settled, and at ease. I work from home, which allows me to be present and provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m available mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s routine, as no specific day or time is off the table. I provide a clean, calm, and secure environment for pets in my care. I live on the ground floor of a gated community in a spacious home, making potty breaks and supervision easy and consistent. I don’t have any pets of my own, so your dog will have my full attention. I prioritize safety, comfort, and routine, and can accommodate crating if needed.
“I trust Andrea so much with my two golden dogs!! She is always communicating the whole time, sending lots of pictures, and giving my dogs so much love! So happy to have someone like her to rely on when we need her!”

About: My love for animals and providing pet-sitting began in early childhood and has only continued to grow! My experience ranges from neighborhood pet-sitting gigs in grade school, acting as the primary caretaker of my family dog (60 lb Lab-Pointer) during high-school, providing day-time and overnight pet-sitting in during my undergraduate education at USF, and now specializing in pet sitting, house sitting and overnight stays as I enter my Master's program at FGCU. It's important to me that every pet feels comfortable, happy, and active even in the absence of their favorite human (you)! I am a personal trainer and business owner with the ability to create my own schedule around my school schedule at FGCU. I am primarily available after 11 AM on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fri-Sun. In clients' homes, I make sure to keep pets under my supervision at all times, ensure doors leading outside remain closed, and leash dogs BEFORE exiting the home.
About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was a kid, I've owned, trained, and taken care of a loving 7-year-old Golden Retriever named Dexter since he was just 8 weeks old. I love to play, hangout and run around with dogs, I have experience taking care of family and friends dogs as well as CPR training (certified). I can't resist meeting new dogs when I'm on a walk or just out in public, I love to get to know pets and their owners. I look forward to meeting your fury friend/family members! I’m currently looking for work so as of now my schedule is completely open, just let me know what your needs and dates are and I’ll happily help with your dog(s). For overnight house sitting, I do need to be able to bring my well-behaved Golden Retriever with me. He’s friendly, socialized, and great with other dogs. I always make sure pets are comfortable first, and I’m happy to arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand. I’m a very clean/organized person and that follows everywhere I go. I make sure to leave things the way I found them and if the house is a mess from a wet day of walking I’d be sure to clean that up as well. I’m a no shoes in the house kind of person
Golden Gate pet parents share their Rover experiences
Millie took care of my dog for an extended trip. She did a wonderful job, keeping me informed of my dogs activity and any questions she had over her stay and followed instructions for his care. Very responsible . She left my home as she found it. Dog was content and happy when I returned. I highly recommend her
Kristine was an exceptional Rover sitter for my maltipoo. She was so engaged and genuinely enthusiastic about being with my sweet dog, like it was her own. I appreciate her being so dependable and loving to Joey . I highly recommend her to be in the care of your pet. Thank you kimberly

Rylee was awesome with Roxi and our home. She stayed for 8 nights and we returned to a happy, healthy dog and a tidy home. We were concerned leaving Roxi as she had been in a shelter until a month before our trip and can be shy. It says a lot about Rylee that Roxi warmed right up to her. I would absolutely recommend Rylee as she's communicative, consistent, caring and very professional.

Olivia was an excellent sitter. Zizi really liked her and felt comfortable staying with her in our home for 3 days. Olivia was very responsible asking questions in advance and keeping us posted throughout the 3 days with photos and updates on Zizi. We strongly recommend Olivia to others who need a sitter.
