“Aya took such great care of our australian shepherds while we were away for the weekend. She sent lots of updates on how they were doing and also offered pick/drop off which was convenient. We came home to 2 very happy pups!”
5. Kate & Mark S.
“Kate, Mark and their family took excellent care of our 8 year old golden retriever for 2 weeks. About a month before our trip we took our dog over for a “meet and greet” to see how she would get along with the family and their dog. This went smoothly, so we reserved her stay. A couple days before our departure we dropped off our dog for a 2-3 hour visit to really test her out. Everything went well. While we were away, Kate texted us and sent photos every couple of days and assured us that our dog was safe and happy. We are so grateful that they treated her like a member of the family, lavishing her with love and attention. I would highly recommend Kate and Mark for dog sitting.”

“Summitt thoroughly enjoyed her stay with Jeanine. Jeanine took Summitt to play at the dog park and treated her like she was her own. Jeanine sent me pictures throughout the week and updates as to how she was doing. Summitt returned to me exhausted. I was put at ease knowing that someone that loves dogs was taking care of mine.”

“Cheryl was wonderful while I was away visiting family. It was my first time using Rover.com and what a wonderful experience! My pup Evey seemed to have a blast and I felt very comfortable leaving her with Cheryl and her precious pup Honey.

I will be using her again in the future!”

13. Paige S.
About: I have been watching dogs for a long time and used to do Rover in LA with my sister. I added pics in my bio of past dogs I used to watch. I am also a very proud auntie to my sisters dog who I watch regularly. I haven't met a dog I don't love and they usually love me as well. I can't wait to meet your fur babies! I work from home so I am at the house 90 percent of the day. I leave for my workout class in the mornings but besides that, I am home. It would be great to have a pup to keep me company. I love dogs! I take good care of them. I am home most of the day and can give them love and attention. I have a small backyard in case they want to explore. I am also able to walk them multiple tiles a day since I am home with with them.
14. Jacob E.
“Jacob and Simone were simply the best. They were very communicative and kind. Their house is clean and cozy. They sent lots of pics while we were away. I will definitely book again.”
15. Wendy S.
“Wendy is really great with dogs! You can tell right away that she is such an animal lover and is the kindest person. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her watch my dog again. Thank you, Wendy!”
16. Cassandra B.
“Cassandra is a very thoughtful person who cares for both her friends and family. Additionally, she has taken care of many animals from canine, to feline, and even birds. She is responsible and puts her best foot forward in all she does.”
17. Ava B.
“Ava has been a lovely and trustworthy cat sitter over the years! Any time my family and I have been out of town she is the first person I call. My cat is always well loved, fed, and played with while we are gone and doesn’t seem to miss us much when we return. She has always been clean and tidy and leaves our home spotless by the time we return. I would proudly recommend her to any one looking for a dependable pet sitter.”
18. Alondra J.
“Alondra was amazing with Nala! Nala required medication and extra care while with Alondra. Alondra updated me daily on Nala’s medical needs and temperament. I’m would highly recommend Alondra to care for your pet!”
19. Kaylynn G.
“Kaylynn is THE BEST! This was my first rover experience, so I was initially a little nervous. I’m sooooo grateful I connected with Kaylynn and her friends, because I felt at peace knowing my dog was spoiled with love and extra care. She sent me updates throughout and was very communicative and accommodating. I highly recommend booking with Kaylynn!!!”
20. Anastasia S.
“Anastasia has a warm heart and made my cat feel completely welcome. Obviously a cat whisperer! She was highly communicative and professional, sending me regular photos and updates and obviously really enjoying having one on one time with my cat Chloe.

I cannot recommend her enough to you.”
