Top rated Govalle house sitters

“Arantxa was great! She sent amazing updates and also sent super great pictures of my dog. I know he was in the best of hands with her! I’d definitely reccomend Arantxa to anyone needing someone to watch over their pets because she did a fantastic job!! 10/10”



“Elizabeth took such amazing care of my dog (and my house) while I was away! She asked thoughtful questions when getting to know me and my dog, Kiki, and had great communication with me throughout my trip. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing someone to care for their pet!”


“OMG! Look no farther. If you want a GREAT Rover experience then Erica is your girl. She gave updates, sent pics, helped in any way possible, communicated often and was very respectful of my home. My dogs literally looked like they took to her quickly- which they never do so this was a testament to her “vibe”. I will hire Erica any and every time I need a dog sitter and recommend you do the same! 10 ⭐️’s”



“Christine was wonderful! This was our first time booking her services, and I would highly recommend her. From our first meet and greet, it was clear she had a lot of experience caring for animals. She was easy to talk to, had good communication during our time away, and went out of her way to care for our dog, Jovi (who can be a bit of a handful and hard to walk sometimes!). She even went out of her way to take him to his favorite park/trail one of the evenings. The coolest thing was finding out she had cared for Jovi when he was a puppy before we adopted him (we’ve had him since he was 1 year old). His previous owner had also contacted Christine for dog sitting, and she was able to look back through her pictures and find young puppy photos of our Jovi! It was totally meant to be! 😆 I highly recommend Christine for all of your animal care needs!”


“Daria was absolutely wonderful! She kept in touch and coordinated with me excellently! She was extremely flexible to my chaotic schedule and she sent so many wonderful photos with my baby cat! My cat is usually pretty shy but she cozied right up! Daria also provided updates on how much my cat was eating and if she seemed engaged. Really appreciate that. Daria also left my apartment much cleaner than I left it for her hahah!! Daria is a wonderful sitter, I absolutely recommend her if your looking for a house/pet sitter!”


“Yuliia was very sweet to my kitties. She takes great pictures. The cats were very calm when I came back home. The house was very clean. She asks all the right questions!”


“Matt was everything you want when booking a new sitter. Our dog loved him, he was super responsive before and during, and had a real ease and kindness about him. We didn’t worry at all and as a pet owner you can understand how invaluable that is:) we loved Matt, will rebook him forever in the future and recommend you book him too!!”

“Needed a last minute house sitter and reached out to Aniela and she was great. Walked, fed, and sent daily updates of the dogs with pictures. Will rebook in the future and would definitely recommend”


“Woody was SO great we with our buddy Shiner! They sent us constant photos while we were away on an 8 day trip while they watched our home/dog. They were super communicative about everything, and even put all linens in the washer/dryer, and tidied up the whole house before they left. You could just tell they LOVE dogs, and took incredible care of our Shiner while we were gone :)”
