“truly the best of the best!! so flexible with changing plans, excellent communication, above and beyond care. as a nervous dog mom i was able to go on my trip without a single worry. truly could not recommend enough!!!”

“Brandy was wonderful. We left a list for her to know Peanuts routine . Brandy did everything! Peanut seemed very happy and content when we arrived home, so I know she was well taken care of. We would absolutely have Brandy watch again!”

“Sage was amazing! This is the first time we used her as a doggie sitter for our baby Gracie, she was so great taking care of her and we look forward to using Sage again. In our opinion, she is the BEST!!! 🩷😊🐶”

“Our dog has severe separation anxiety and Maria had the most calming effect on her! She wasn’t stressed at all when we got home after 3 days, a miracle! Maria was so kind, professional, caring, and responsive throughout the dog sit. We will definitely be using her again soon!”
“Anna was a great help to all of us when she cared for our pups… CC & Gus. She was good with both dogs, kept them happy and safe plus well fed. She seemed to enjoy her time with them and sent pictures. She stayed with them while we were gone a couple of days which made it possible for us to enjoy our time since we knew the dogs were well taken care of. Thanks Anna!”

“Lara cared for our dogs for the first time this weekend, and we were so impressed by her. She managed our 3 high-maintenance dogs without a problem and we came home to a happy and relaxed group! (And a very clean house). She will be our go-to sitter moving forward. Don’t hesitate to book her!”

“Great puppy sitter for my special peanuts. My dogs can be a little clingy and snuggly and we treat them like children. Allison did the same! My puppy ran out to and jumped into her car as she was leaving because she loved Allison so much. Will definitely book again!”

“Fantastic! I had a last minute babysitting emergency because my dog sitter fell back home fell through. I had to bring my two senior special needs pugs on my weekend away to visit my son. We had important dinner and I absolutely couldn’t leave my pugs alone in a new place. I reached out the morning of and gave her my story. She said that normally she doesn’t book last minute but would make an exception in our case. She saved the day and the dinner! She was a calming influence and my dogs loved her! If I lived in San Diego, I’d be a regular!”
“I’d recommend April to family and friends. She boarded at my house with my two big energy dogs and did great! She sent updates with photos while I was away and the boys were happy and tails wagging. Thank you April for snuggling them while I was away”

“Cristen was excellent with our two Mini Schnauzers! She is very friendly and professional. She went above and beyond our expectations. We have already hired her for our next trip and will continue to request her in the future.”
“audrey is always amazing!!! she watched our senior frenchie for 10 days while we were on honeymoon and he had such a blast. he’s happy and healthy and almost was sad to see us 😂 thank you as always!!!”
“Ana was amazing she took banana on lots of walkies and was very good giving her all the love while we were gone on our trip I would definitely book again and recommend you do so if your going out of town.”

“Anna was amazing, not only did she show up on time, but she sent me several check ins throughout the night. She made sure that I knew that my Furkid was happy and safe. She followed the directions I left for her to the T. Anna was extremely punctual and professional. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is in need of pet sitting. She was the epitome of a perfect pet sitter. I will definitely book her again ❤️”

About: Growing up with pets—dogs, turtles, cats, chickens, and goldfish—I’ve developed a deep love for caring for animals. I’m currently caring for a senior Yorkie who is the most affectionate and gentlemanly dog I’ve ever known. He gets along wonderfully with all the neighborhood dogs, and I often help my neighbors by walking their dogs when needed. These experiences have inspired me to pursue dog sitting and walking, allowing me to share my passion for pet care with others. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to integrate pet care into my daily routine easily. I can provide consistent attention throughout the day, whether it's for walks, feeding, or playtime. When I'm not working, I love spending quality time walking and playing with my dog, so it's natural for me to offer the same level of care and engagement to other pets. My flexible schedule also means I can accommodate pets with specific routines, whether they need early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening playtime. Special Note for House Sitting: House sitting services are provided sunrise to sunset only (no overnight stays). This is a platform limitation, but I'm happy to discuss details to tailor to your pet's needs. During the stay, I may be in and out of the house depending on how long your pet can comfortably be left alone, as noted in their profile. I always plan my schedule around your pet's needs to ensure they are safe, comfortable, and well taken care of. I provide care in the comfort of your fur baby's own home, ensuring they feel secure and at ease in their familiar surroundings. When booking with me, please share the following details about your home to help me provide the best care for your dog: 🏡Instructions for entering your home to reach your pet 🥣Location of food, treats, and water bowl 🌳Whether you have a yard or other outdoor areas for potty breaks 🐶Favorite walk route, or any no-go areas 🗒️Any house rules I should be aware of
“I can't say enough great things about Daryll Ann! She's amazing and I highly recommend her if you're looking for a loving home to board your dog. Daryll Ann is a compassionate, friendly, animal lover who showed every interest in making sure that both Winston AND myself were comfortable. She obviously knows her stuff when it comes to caring for animals (she's in the veterinary field) and she knew every question to ask prior to Winston's stay. Thanks again!!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 10 years, growing up with big breeds and also sitting smaller dogs. I’ve provided overnight care and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m available all day on weekends and on weekdays after 3 PM once I finish school. I have a flexible schedule and can provide consistent care, walks, playtime, feeding, and overnight stays as needed. In my home, I follow a consistent feeding schedule and make sure my dogs get regular exercise, including trips to the park. I always ensure they have bathroom access, supervision, and a safe, comfortable environment.
“We had a great experience with Ritaj. Our dog takes some time to be comfortable with new people and Ritaj gained her trust within 15 minutes. She was dependable, communicated regularly with us sending pictures and videos, and was extremely attentive to our dog. Would highly recommend her!”
“Mari felt like family after our first visit. She took excellent care of our dog Lucy and my house was clean and tidy when we returned from our trip. We are very fortunate to have found her and will definitely book her for future trips.”

Lake Murray pet parents share their Rover experiences
This was the first time we used Jasmine as a dog sitter and the only thing I wish would be different is that we’d found her sooner. We were in a pinch with time, booking close to the last minute, but Jasmine came through amazingly. She was prompt to the meet and greet and asked great questions, listened and was clear in her communication. While we were gone, she gave us updates and let us know if anything happened of note. Our dog had an upset tummy and we were able to work through it and she got him feeling better soon. She also took great care of our house. Hope we get her to watch our pup again!!

Phenomenal support for our animals who need to be on medication at a specific time really good communication. I was very worried about my big dog who has been having seizures, but Maureen put me at ease while I was traveling and she was hanging out with him and the other three animals.

We selected Brandy based upon her profile and her 5.0 ratings and reviews and weren't disappointed. We have a houseful with two dogs and two cats and she took great care of them all. She came over before her stay so that we could introduce her and show her around the house. You can tell by how calm your pets are when you return that they had a good experience! Will be using her services again.
Alex was great with my senior dog and puppy - they can be a handful. I appreciate her careful attention to detail and keeping me updated on them. It’s so nice to have a reliable person watch your house and pets while you are gone, knowing they do better in their own environment. I highly recommend her.

Daryll Ann J , and her husband are fantastic. They are fantastic with Madonna . I'm unfortunately not in such a good place or situation and I don't want to lose the place I am currently staying at due to Madonna's barking . I look forward to booking them hopefully twice a week while I'm at work or if I have unusual work schedule .

Justine is very professional, caring and thorough. She took excellent care of Danso and followed all instructions perfectly. She went above and beyond and i felt more than comfortable with time she spend watching after Danso and my house. She sent lots of detailes updates with pictures and video. Highly recommend and will be booking her again.
