1. Anais D.
“This was my first booking on rover and I was so anxious about leaving my dog with someone I didn’t know. Anais communicated well and frequently with me. I felt so much better knowing my dog was being taken care of!”
2. Vanessa M.
“Vanessa is a kind, warm hearted, caring, pet lover and she treated our Nameste with all the TLC that he need in our absence. She did all that we requested, including pictures of our little guy. I would recommend her to others and I would definitely use her again.”
3. Maia N.
“Maia was great with our super shy 10 month old kitties. She provided prompt communication, adorable photos, and took good care of our home. We're looking forward to having her back here again soon. Thanks Maia!”
4. Ashtyn F.
“Ashtyn was a wonderful sitter for my cat! She is a great communicator and thorough in her care while I was away and I will definitely reach out again in the future. Thank you!!”
5. Megan K.
“Megan did such an amazing job taking care of our pup for us. It is obvious that she LOVES dogs, and our dog LOVED her. She sent us lots of pictures and videos and went completely above and beyond what was expected. We are so grateful and will definitely ask Megan to take care of our pup again, especially since I’m pretty sure our dog misses her already. Thank you so much, Megan!”
6. Alfonso C.
“I can’t recommend Alfonso enough! He took incredible care of my dog, Coconut, and I’m so grateful for the attention and love he gave him during his stay. He took Coconut on long walks and made sure he felt comfortable and happy with lots of playtime! Alfonso also kept me updated with cute pictures of Coconut, which I thoroughly appreciated. Coconut had a blast with him, and I could tell he was in great hands! I’ll definitely be booking with Alfonso again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”
7. Devyn M.
“Devyn was wonderful! She was great to work with and she and Cali hit it off right from the start! She was communicative and sent updates with pic-look forward to having her sit for Cali again in the future.”
8. Andrea C.
“Andrea is absolutely the best with pets! Not only is she incredibly kind and gives the utmost love and care to her own dog, I can also depend on her to look after the wellbeing of my cat when away. She is trustworthy and will make sure and tend to your pets needs.”
9. Patrick & Emma W.
“Great updates! 🐶 and photos! Thank you, 🐶 and I both got a break!”
10. David L.
“David has been house- and dog-sitting for me for several years now, and he’s truly been a lifesaver. I have three dogs: Coco, who’s 8; our doxin Pepe, who’s 2; and our newest addition, an energetic Australian Shepherd named Aussie. David has been wonderful with all of them—he’s incredibly flexible, dependable, and always willing to help, whether I’m out of town or just have a long day at work. I can count on him to watch over the dogs or take them for walks whenever needed. I couldn’t ask for better support! Completely recommend.”
11. Marlene P.
“Marlene just did the first drop in visit for our two dogs. She was very communicative, punctual, and made sure to secure the house when she left. Plus it was a very rainy day, and she got the dogs all cleaned up when they came in from the yard. Glad we found a reliable person.”
12. Nicole S.
“Nicole made it through four wonderful days of D0gen care before she was sadly felled by strep throat and had to terminate her care. I had made back-up arrangements which she handled with great responsibility so that Dogen suffered almost no trauma as her sudden departure! He's now happy and so am I, and just hoping Nicolde gets well soon!”
13. Karla C.
“Karla was fantastic. Her visits were timely, she sent great pics and summaries, and she was an observant, thoughtful sitter. One of our kitties is very shy, and she did well with Karla’s approach. Will definitely book with her again!”
14. Ailyn A.
About: Hello my name is Ailyn I have 2 bunnies, 2 pit bulls and 2 stray cats I call mine lol. My previous Job was at a veterinary hospital as a Veterinary Tech/Assistant. I roomed the patients for our doctors, got TPR then would report back to the DR. I then would do vaccines, nail trims, ear cleanings, blood draws, etc as needed as well as restraining for whatever procedure needs to be done. I now work at an animal shelter in Berkeley as a Animal services assistant. I get to work with a lot of dogs, cats and exotics as well! Animals are and always have been my absolute passion/life which is why I also do Rover and Wag as a side job! ❤️ I work full time currently but always can make something work! That being if they’re sittings, drop in visits in the morning and afternoon/evening. Boardings I can stay overnight do the same procedure as I would for sitting only I’d leave to work from your home and come back to your home. Walks the exact same before and after work if that is something that works for you otherwise like I said I will make sure to do all In my power to accommodate your needs and my schedule so we’re all happy! 🙂 I care for your pets as you would, accommodating to their needs as well as making sure they’re comfortable and happy and follow through with your step by step care instructions. 🥰
15. Daria S.
“We appreciate Daria taking care of our kitty while we were away. She played with, fed, and looked after our cat, sending cute pictures and even short videos (which was really nice) every day. Our kitty has definitely enjoyed her time with Daria.”
16. Lucero B.
“Lucero took great care of our cat while we were away. She has great energy and is very thorough. She gave me updates, pictures, and kept in touch when the app was being glitchy. I look forward to our next cat sitting service with her!”
17. Keira G.
About: Hey there, my name is Keira. I'm fairly new to Rover but am looking forward to meeting new folks and furry friends along the way. My main option on here is dog walking but I also do drop-ins and house sitting. I have been an owner of 2 big beautiful German-Shepard mixed boys for 5 years and just recently 2 kitties :), so I have continuous experience. I work full-time from home so I typically leave my weekends to my rover clients, but I am flexible for weekday afternoons as well. Working from home has made it accessible and fun to spend most of my day with my fur babies, I couldn't ask for better companions :) My dogs have a huge all around yard they like to run around and my kitties are more of the indoor type so whatever environment your pet prefers, we'll be sure to have a fun and safe time!
18. Kacie S.
“Kacie did a great job with drop in visits for our two cats while we were out of town. She provided updates and pictures each day and it was nice knowing the cats were in good hands. I highly recommend booking with her!”
19. Katie L.
“As I’ve reviewed Katie before for a day of boarding, this will be one dedicated to her drop ins. I have had Katie as my dog’s prime sitter for the past two months and after an experience with her, you will not look any further! All of her day time drop ins have been excellent, but tonight’s ordeal really takes the cake. I had a sudden change of plans and needed to stay very late into the AM hours at work, and Katie just did a drop in for me to let my dog potty, and get a run in, and eat. Even on her busiest day of the week she was able to go completely out of her way at a very late hour to help me and Luka out. Thank you Katie for always going above and beyond in your services!”
20. Brenda P.
“Brenda has been the best dog sitter when I am out of town my pups love it when she comes over! We recommend her 100%!”
