“We can’t recommend Roberta enough! She sent us updates and photos/videos while we were gone. Our dogs looked so happy and comfortable with her, and she took great care of our home. Roberta really took the time to spoil our dogs with care and s as fed took. We will hope to hire her for all future dog sitting needs, she was such a great help to us!”

“Dustin was the perfect dog/housesitter! He stayed with our pup while we were away for about a week, and did a great job keeping in contact with beautiful photographs of our dog, as well as taking excellent care of our home. He is a natural with dogs and immediately connected with our dog at their initial meeting. Would definitely recommend Dustin and have him back again next time!!”

“Theresa was so attentive and caring with Cosimo. She took the time to come meet him beforehand and I knew he was going to be in good hands. Even bought him a seasonal toy :)”

About: Hi, I’m Mary, a lifelong animal lover with over a decade of experience caring for all kinds of animals, including dogs, cats, birds, and horses. I joined Rover because caring for pets brings me so much joy. I work a corporate job remotely which allows me a great deal of flexibility to care for your pets during my breaks. I can’t currently own a pet of my own due to my apartment’s regulations, so I can’t wait to give your pet all the love and care they deserve instead! My remote job allows for lots of flexibility to care for your pets. I am available for drop ins or walks sometime between 11am-2pm most days- perfect for owners who want to give their pets a break in the middle of the day! I am a direct communicator and will be happy to provide an abundance of updates as I care for your pet. I am also happy to provide playtime or assist with household chores as I care for your pets.

“Melissa is a confident pet caregiver with great communication, attention to detail, and focused attention for your pet.”

“Josette took such great care of our boys during our wedding weekend! We have one very shy and anxious boy, but he warmed up to Josette in hours and his tail was wagging. It really warmed my heart to see our dogs so comfortable with her. Thank you, Josette!!”

“Averi was an absolute dream sitter for our big dog! She was very thoughtful, gave him lots of love, kept us updated with photos - and even stayed an extra night when our flight got cancelled. We returned home to a clean house and happy pup! Will definitely be booking again!”

“Elizabeth was so sweet with our very very anxious and extra needs pup. She went above and beyond to not only comfort him, but me! I’ve never left him with anyone but family. I am so grateful for her kindness and care with Balto!”

About: My grandpa had many dogs and grandma takes care of cats. So, I grew up loving pets. I love nature and the outdoors as well. I studied environmental sustainability. I’m a Christian. I was once a lifeguard, and people can trust me with their lives and pets:) My work is very flexible. Only occasionally do I need to go into office. And I wouldn’t know ahead of the time when I have appointments. Most of them are fairly brief: 2 to 3 hours. However, I do need to make arrangements ahead of time in terms of scheduling. So please reach out as early as possible. Occasionally, I have travel plans as well. I can come to your home and take care of your pets or walk the dogs in the neighborhood. If you prefer, I can sometimes take them to dog parks.

“Emily was so amazing with my dogs! She was very communicative throughout the whole stay. She took great care of my dogs and made sure they were walked, fed and loved! I can’t thank her enough!”

“Debbie was a wonderful sitter for our doodle puppy. We were visiting San Diego for the weekend, and hired Debbie for a few hours to watch Mozzie at our Airbnb while we went out to dinner. Mozzie and Debbie clicked instantly, which put us at ease to enjoy our evening! She was very easy to communicate with, flexible when we shifted our booking times around, sent pictures throughout the evening, took him on a walk, and even accommodated Mozzie’s funky eating habits. We will definitely call Debbie again for our next San Diego trip!”

“Jamie was an absolute dream of a dog sitter and the perfect match for my girl Lucy. From the very beginning, she took the time to patiently get to know Lucy, who can be reactive and does not always warm up to new people right away. Jamie followed every direction with care and understanding, and over the course of seven days she earned Lucy’s trust and truly became her friend. Not only did she care for Lucy with so much patience and love, but she also took wonderful care of our home. When we returned, everything felt exactly as we left it, if not better. Knowing Lucy was so well looked after gave us such peace of mind while we were away. I could not recommend Jamie more highly. She is responsible, compassionate, and goes above and beyond. We will absolutely be using her again and recommending her to everyone we know.”

About: I have had animals in my household since I was born from dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, turtles, fish and geckos. I recently had my English bulldog (Bentley) pass after 13 years together. He had many unique needs over his life including requiring additional care over the last few months. I also volunteer with Southern California Bulldog Rescue and have cared for foster dogs as well as pulled dogs from shelter. Animals are family to me and not just a pet. I am currently studying to change careers so I have full availability to assist with the care of your animals. I look forward to working with you. I have a single family home with a fenced front and back yard. There is a doggy door installed if your dog is familiar with them otherwise I can close it if you prefer. When caring for your pet in your home, I will treat your home with respect and ensure it is in the same condition as when I arrived. I also have my real estate license and will ensure everything is locked and secured when I am not at the property.

“Alyssa was wonderful! Took care of our pup on short notice, is very kind and very communicative! She was very patient with our pup when she was a little difficult to walk. 5 stars!”
