“First time booking Esmeralda to drop-in on our cats and she was great! She was very punctual and easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. We loved receiving photos from her at each visit. We will definitely be returning to Esmeralda the next time we are away.”

“Anna was so sweet with my puppy. She spent some time with her and even went the extra mile trying to get her to sleep before she left. She did a meet and greet the day before hand which was nice of her. Would definitely reach out again for a check in!”


“Deborah kindly met us a week before she sat for our large golden doodle. We had our son’s wedding in HMB. Deborah was very accommodating and arranged a working situation to handle our Eliot for a the long day in a hotel. And when asked to add a puppy of a bridesmaid, she happily cared for two distinctly different dogs- large and older/ puppy and miniature. Deborah easily manages dogs large, small, young and old. I’d highly recommend her for any dog owner!!”
“Venora took such good care of my dog while I was away at work! She fed him, let him out, and walked him. She took the time to keep me updated on their progress, which I really appreciated. My dog can be a bit shy but she was able to get him out without any issues. I came home to a happy dog! I appreciate that Venora is trustworthy and reliable. Thanks Venora!”

“Lehna has been a great resource for the care of my two staffies. I have booked her several times already for walks and drop ins. She responds very quickly to requests, has strong communication skills and she updates me with details about how my dogs behaved with her. She has been professional and responsible and I can easily recommend her.”

About: Hi! I’m Brenna, 26, and a lifelong dog lover. I grew up with dogs and especially miss my parents’ Australian Shepherd, so getting to spend time with pups genuinely makes me happy. I’d love to have a dog of my own someday, but for now I’m excited to help care for and spend time with yours! I work fully remote, which gives me a flexible schedule for walks, drop-ins, and plenty of quality time. I’m active, reliable, and always up for a beach walk, neighborhood stroll, or hiking adventure with a furry companion. I know how important it is to trust someone with your dog, and I’ll care for your pup like they’re part of the family. I work fully remote and have a flexible schedule, which means plenty of time for walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I’m young, active, and love being outdoors during the week and on weekends — whether that’s beach walks, neighborhood strolls, or getting out on the trails. Honestly, all I’m missing is a pup to bring along with me! I live in a cozy apartment with a small backyard and no other pets. I an about a 3-minute walk from a fire trail and a 5-minute walk to the beach, so there are plenty of opportunities for walks, outdoor time, and exercise.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years and truly love getting to know each one’s personality. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and look after their dogs of all breeds and sizes. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, and those who need a little extra patience or training. Whether it’s playtime, long walks, or quiet cuddles, I make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and happy while in my care. I’m currently working part time, I can care for your pet before work and after work. I will work less than 12 hours a week so I’m hoping to be available often. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always treat their space with the same respect as my own. I follow each pet’s routine closely to help them feel comfortable and secure. I make sure doors and gates are always locked, water bowls are fresh, and pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and love. I send regular photo updates so you can feel confident your furry family member is happy and safe while you’re away.
About: I grew up with dogs, cats, fish, chicken, a horse as pets and would frequently care for them on my own. When I was in high school I raised my own cats and I have taken care of/watched dogs for my friends and family many times. I have a very flexible schedule right now and can care for your animals anytime of the day, any day of the week. I am always around to contact for information and answers to questions. My home has a small fenced backyard and animal friendly housemates. I would care for your animals as if they are my own and respect the space you and they live in. I am a fast learner and will follow any rules you provide about my care.
“Bennett was a wonderful cat-visitor. We gave him a bit of a challenge, trying to get our cat Tony to eat his medication. Bennett had to win Tony's trust first, and that took just a couple of days (note: the medication was not something that would cause serious side-effects if not delivered daily).Before long, Tony was following Bennett around the house and playing with an interactive cat toy with him, and allowing Bennett to pet him. Our second cat, Max, has always been a shy one. Bennett did see him a number of times, but was unable to interact with them. Bennett was definitely organized and timely! He sent photos daily, updated the "meds" situation, was a super litter scooper, etc. Both boys are looking great, no one missed any meals, for sure. We would hire Bennett again, any time we are out of town.”

About: I’ve worked at a doggie daycare for 5 years and we have all types of dogs and puppies. We go on daily outings for 45min or more and always the beach so I’m down for long walks with the doggies I work M-F 8-3 so available anytime after that and weekends! I’m more available on weekdays than weekends. But anything is possible and I can work it out either way I have had an animals all my life and have dealt with the beginning stage of puppies. I have always been the one to look after my dogs and family dogs meaning feeding them, taking them out, etc

“Nina took care of my guys-- one basically still a kitten, the other a creaky elder. She played with them and fed them the correct food and supplements. What more could I ask for? I'm in a fairly remote spot too. Thank you Nina!”


About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats in the home and provide dog sitting/walking services to friends and family as needed! Want to expand my care to others! I’m on summer break before starting grad school this fall! So I’ll be around to help as much as you’d like me to be! I will create a safe environment for your pup while I’m in their space and treat everything that I’m doing with care and respect.
“Our cat is very anxious and not easy to deal with, but Melissa put a lot of effort into building trust with him and making him feel comfortable while we were away. We really appreciate her patience, attention and care!”

“Our dog warmed up to Maria right away even though she is usually timid around new people. Maria is definitely the quintessential awesome dog whisper. She took amazing care of our dog making sure she had plenty of water and food but also took care of all the other small things like cleaning up around the dog and literally leaving the place better than it started. Will definitely book again! Best rover on the app so far.”

About: My family and I have a love for animals. We have gone through many different species of pets including dogs, cats, hamsters, bunnies, and birds. Apart from my family, I’ve helped house-sit and cared for my friend’s dog for a few years now whenever she’s away. During that time, I’ve handled daily walks, feeding, and making sure the dog feels safe and comfortable at home. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and extra availability to care for and walk dogs. I’m able to provide consistent attention and accommodate different walking times throughout the week. I like to follow their normal routine to keep them comfortable. I make sure they are fed on time, get regular walks, have fresh water, and receive plenty of attention and playtime.
“Sukky (Siqi) is an amazing Rover cat sitter — incredibly attentive and truly knows how to interact with cats. Hoohoo was so well cared for, and reading her daily update notes genuinely made my day every time. She’s thoughtful, observant, and clearly experienced with cats. She also went above and beyond what I expected: she helped brush Hoohoo’s fur, tidied up the living room, and took absolutely fantastic photos (I’m literally using them as my phone wallpaper!). On top of that, she even drew an adorable little sketch of Hoohoo — such a sweet and personal touch. I’m so grateful for everything she did, and I will definitely book Siqi again next time. Highly recommend!”

Amber seems trustworthy and conscientious, and she is an excellent dog sitter. One of my dogs is sweet, but also high-energy and not always a good listener. In no time, Amber gently coaxed him into behaving quite well. He was even behaving better for me after her visit. She also paid attention to my quieter dog,, who sometimes gets overlooked.
