“Lindsey was amazing! She took great care of Copper. She followed all the instructions. She even went above and beyond by keeping in contact, with us and even playing with our dog.”
About: I am a very calm and flexible person, able to handle an animal calmly. I have owned pets all my life, and enjoy animals of all types and sizes. I am retired and 58 years old, so I can be flexible to for your pet's time schedule. I can walk your dog, sit with them overnight, check in on them as needed. Your pet's needs are first in my mind, when I am with the animal, so rest assured, your pet is in good hands with me. I am lots of experience with dogs and cats, and limited experience with lots of other animals. I am willing to learn more, as needed, and willing to hear about your pet's distinct and varied needs. Let's take care of your pet together.
“Marby was on time, communicated throughout the visit, followed detailed instructions, and figured out how to feed my finicky pug when he wouldn’t eat. I’ll be working with her again.”
“Michelle was amazing! She sent daily updates of our kitty and took the time to cuddle with her while we were away- we’ll definitely think of Michelle next time we need a sitter!!”
“Brittany was so sweet and wonderful! She took care of our Golden while we were away and was so accommodating to our schedule. She is so great with dogs and we could tell immediately that our dog would be comfortable with her. She took him on long walks, played with him, and made sure he was happy while we were away. Thank you again! Would highly recommend Brittany to anyone in need of a dog sitter!”
“You could not ask for a more kind, loving sitter/walker then Stefanie R. We will definitely ask her to stay with our pups again. She is good with people as well as dogs. She made us feel safe and relaxed to go away knowing our dogs and our house were on good hands. A++++ Greg”
“Jack is a great communicator and took excellent care of my pup! He accommodated my request on short notice, was prompt and I’d highly recommend him to anybody looking for pet care. I will definitely rebook him again.”
“Met Darla for the first time over Rover.com, but right off the bat, she seemed very responsible and dog loving that I had no doubt she’d take good care of our boys. She helped us on Drop In service twice a day to feed the dogs, give injections to one of them who is diabetic, and minor spot cleanings. She was very punctual and provided updates with photos in a timely manner throughout the entire 4 days we were gone. Overall she did an excellent job and would certainly recommend to other neighbors around for any petsitting needs. Thanks again, Darla!!!”
About: I grew up on a farm in ND and have had experience with all kinds of dog breeds! I’ve also taken care of friends/siblings pets when they need. I now have two dogs of my own that I rescued and raised since they were puppies. They’ve been the joy of my life for the past six years. I currently have completely open availability, so my routine revolves around my pets. I’m looking to extend that availability for you and your pets if you need I live in an apartment, so each day starts with a long walk around the surrounding neighborhood, with smaller walks intermittently through the day around the complex. They get a lot of socialization, and plenty of exercise this way. If I am to visit your home, I am open to giving walks, playtime, socialization, feeding, or anything that your pet needs
“Savannah took great care of our dog Dexter during our trip. She had no issue bonding with him immediately. She was attentive and provided updates regularly. Highly recommended.”
About: Your doggie will receive extra care from me as I am a stay at home mom focused solely on pet sitting. We are an animal loving household in suburban Lakewood, CA with a large fenced backyard. We have a doggie door on the back door for our pups to go in and out as they please to play, run, or sunbathe (while I am home of course). I have the help of my awesome husband Ryan and our kids aged 10, 5 and 2. They know all about how to treat pets as they have grown up with our dogs. Your pup is welcome to snuggle with us on the couch and beds wherever they are most comfortable. I have 32 years of experience taking care of pets and have a love and passion for animals. I have very much enjoyed pet sitting with Rover since joining in 2019. I have doggie beds, bowls, toys, etc. here but you are welcome to bring any items your pet may like to have during their stay. I am usually available and always flexible with scheduling a meet n greet as well as drop off and pick up times to fit your busy schedule. I know how important finding a trusted and knowledgeable caretaker is for the furry member of your family! You can rest easy knowing they are in my care with regular updates and pictures.
“Angela does so great with my dogs. She updates me all the time and keeps my dogs happy. This is the second time Angela has taken care of my dogs and I will continue having her take care of my dogs.”
“Meghan went above and beyond all my expectations! I was leaving for a trip, and our dog sitter called out sick. Meghan gladly accepted our Bubba at the last minute. She regularly checked in with us, showing where he had walked, how happy he was with his new companion, and, most importantly, that he always had company. She was very communicative and understanding of his needs as an old Bubba American Eskimo.I would highly recommend Meghan to anyone needing a care giver for their furry baby. Thank you so much Meghan you're truly the best!!”
About: I care for my elderly rescued bird, an elderly Yorkie, and have owned a mouse for 4 years past its life expectancy. My child hood dog, a miniature pinscher lived till 21 years old. I also grew up spending my summers at horse camp which taught me how to give an animal space and read their emotions: if they need water or attention for example. I recently quit my job to focus writing. Looking for a job for my in-between stage. Excited to pass the time with caring for someone’s animal. You can trust me to give your pet space and attention when appropriate. I am okay with cameras on in the house if needed or any other precautionary measure that ensures my clients respect to their household and pets safety
About: We’ve been taking care of dogs for many years. My daughter works with me so we can care for your pets most of the day and night. Love to take the dogs on walks, play with them, be loving. I don't charge for bathing your dog or combing their hair daily if they stay for several days. Want to go to Happy Hour or last minute dinner, no worries. Will be glad to help so you can have fun. Im currently very flexible in meeting a wide range of schedules or last minute requests. Have a pet friendly home and nice gated backyard for them to run around or lay down and enjoy the day. Fenced in yard privacy fences in both sides and added abs extra gate in front in case a dog tries to run out they will be safe
About: I've had pets of my own all my life. I've loved taking care of them and now I work at a pet hotel as a night attendant caring for all the pets while their parents are away. I'd love more opportunities to interact with pets outside of my main job. Keeping pet and their parents at ease and happy is what I strive for! I have a cat of my own who is very independent but she also has my significant other around as they work from home. I currently work Tuesdays and Wednesdays overnights with some day shifts added in when needed. I will have plenty of time other than that to check in on your pets and offer walks. I'm always looking to meet new fur friends! I do not. I have an apartment and only my cat is allowed inside per my rental agreement. Or else I'd id have loved to have your pets in my home!
About: I have owned dogs and cats ever since I can remember. I have always grown up around animals from lizards to dogs! My grandma, sister, and cousin are all Vetenarians and have taught me everything they know. I am very passionate when it comes to the care of your furry family members, I always do my best to ensure your pet feels welcome, comfortable, and happy at all times. I am very active with the care and well being of my pets and you can count on me to give that same care to yours! I currently work part-time at a Dominos. I typically work 4-5 days out of the week & I only get around 16 hours a week so I'm free most of the time! I do live in a house but I only rent a room. The neighborhood is nice & a great spot for walking. I do have a front & backyard though & a park that's only a 10 minute walk away from my house. I do have a cat of my own but he is friendly. If your pet is staying in my house, they will either stay in my room or will accompany me on walks or go to the park with me. I do send daily updates like photos, videos, or messages, whatever you prefer!
“Lissi was able to accommodate me on short notice. Upon meeting, she took her time to really get to know my dog, her preferences, how she plays, what treats/toys she likes, etc. Lissi also sent multiple photos and videos of Rumi and provided updates on her potties and even worked on teaching my dog new tricks! She went above and beyond and her love for dogs was very apparent :) Highly recommend to anyone looking for dog sitting/walking/boarding services!”

OMG! I cannot even BEGIN to say how GRATEFUL I AM to have Jessica watch my furbabies! This is my 1st time using Rover & I wasn't worried for one MINUTE that they weren't in the BEST CARE! She made sure my guy got his insulin shots on TIME & even THOUGH the Princessa didn't HONOR Jessica with her presence, she was still so happy to see me when I got home & was no worse for wear! I would recommend her to anyone looking for caring, responsible person to take care of your precious babies, Jessica is it! You won't regret it!
Andrea was very kind to take my request with very short notice. As soon as she agreed, she asked me how she could take care of for my babies. She was informative and sent pictures of my babies. And the last visit that I canceled, she was kind enough to tell me I would not get charged, since I came back from my vacation earlier than I planned. Overall, she did great and made sure my babies were taken care of. I would totally book again next time I take a vacation, if she’s available.
I wanted to tip more but the app limited me? Brionna did a great job and she really helped out by picking up a few more days when I was stuck in Barbados airport with all flights canceled for 3days! Crazy East Coast weather! I recommend using her services as she is professional and thorough. Thank you Brionna!
Cannot say enough about how much I appreciated Michelle's help with looking after my dog Echo while I was away. It was such a relief to know he was in good hands. Her detailed updates and reports of each visit were above and beyond and let me know he was being taken care of and having a good visit each time. Thanks again and I know that I will be booking with Michelle again soon!
