“Stephanie is very helpful and attentive! She watched our new puppy all week and made him comfortable. She is flexible and well rounded as a sitter! Highly recommend!”
“CJ did an excellent job with our two Chihuahua mixes. CJ showed a genuine love for animals and formed a great bond with our dogs (one of whom is fairly mistrustful). I received regular updates, photos, and check-ins, which made me feel my doggos were getting the best care possible. I would highly recommend CJ!”
“Kate is fantastic! She stayed with our high energy, puppy for 10 days and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She followed our (extensive) instructions, gave daily updates/pictures, and took her on a weekend adventure. She is very professional & communicative! We will definitely be using her again for our future pet sitting needs.”
“Devin was great with Penny and she was well taken care of for 10 days. We had peace of mind as a result. He communicated regularly and responded to any pings we had within a reasonable period of time. Where Devin stands out is how he ensures he's home alot with your pet. And we appreciate that greatly. He took good care of house and garden as well. Would recommend him and also will use him again in future.”
“Kimberly is great- Emmy loves her! She makes traveling so much easier, and she takes adorable photos of Emmy with the zoomies, playing hide-and-seek, and curled up looking cozy. Couldn't be happier!”
“This is our third time booking Ghazal, the second time for an extended period of time and we could not be happier. Ghazal genuinely adores our cat and caring for her and we get regular updates. We feel completely comfortable with her staying in our house. Will 100% book her again and again.”
About: I’ve never lived without a dog in my household. I’ve had both small and large dogs and I haven’t met an animal that doesn’t like me. I’m very flexible with my schedule, so I can very easily squeeze in anyone. I love going out and spend times with animals, and I usually don’t have concrete plans. I have a 70lb goldendoodle who is fully housebroken and trained. My yard is fenced in and I have never had an issue with any of my pets or any visiting pets getting out.
“I knew she would be great when she came to our house for a "meet and greet", brought a cat toy and immediately started playing with our two babies. I was not wrong - they were wlel cared for, well fed and most importantly, well loved.”
“Olivia is the perfect sitter! She is very thorough and reliable, and provided pictures and updates. We were able to enjoy our vacation, knowing that our pets were in good hands.”
“Amara is the best. When I returned from a weekend awa, my puppy, Loki, was relaxed and happy. Amara listened carefully to all of my instructions, and followed them all. When she had a question about them, she texted me. She also sent lots of photos. Could not have asked for more! I will book again! I would give 20 stars if I could. Ann”
“Thank you for taking such good care of our baby! All the mindfulness aboit providing medication and communication was so appreciated. And going above and beyond to help when we got stuck up north was so kind. Thank you !!!”
“Jeannette was great. Kept me informed when she got Jake in at night. She even came early the day I departed and stayed late the day I was returning to let Jake out and get Jake in. Everything was perfect when I came home.”
“Aimee was so wonderful with our fur baby! This was our first time using Rover and we are grateful to her for being able to care for our hyper pug last minute. She went out of her way to meet Pickles beforehand. She was attentive, sent updates, and kept our apartment tidy. Will be rebooking in the future. Many thanks again!”
“Our dogs loved Zoe, and she did a great job communicating and watching our house. Left everything in perfect order. Will contact her again.”
About: Hi! I’m a reliable college honors student with over 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, or overnight stays, I treat every dog like my own. I also have 5 years of experience cat sitting and understand how to care for feline friends with the patience and attention they deserve. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to have someone trustworthy and caring looking after your animals. I’m here to give you peace of mind and your pets the love they deserve! I am working part time 7 days a week from 8am-1pm, but am free all times other than that everyday of the week. I can get up early or stay up late to walk or take your pets. Very flexible and responsive to text. I follow each pet’s routine closely to keep them comfortable and happy. Whether in my home or the client’s, I provide a safe, calm environment with plenty of attention, play, and affection. I make sure pets get the right amount of exercise, timely meals, and any special care they need. I always keep communication open with owners and send regular updates/photos so you know your pet is in good hands. Cleanliness, safety, and your pet’s happiness are my top priorities.
“John took excellent care of Lucy and the house while house sitting. Sent lots of updates and pictures so I felt I knew exactly how everything was going while I was away. Would absolutely love to have John take care of Lucy the next time we need to go out of town.”
“Holly was fantastic with our pets! And very cool-headed — right after she arrived the power went out and the roof started leaking (!) She handled the situation with aplomb, making sure the pets were warm enough and keeping us updated on the roof repair. We’ve already booked another stay with Holly!”
“Carolina was amazing! I really appreciated her attention to detail - from the moment she showed up with her own form to fill in for the meet and greet, to inquiring how often we want to be contacted, and to the way she left the home (spotless!). She’s amazing, our dog clearly had a great time. We will absolutely be using her again!”
“Amy is amazing! She has stayed twice with our pets and they love her. She sends lots of photos, takes our border collie on long walks, and is extremely conscientious. We’ll definitely book with Amy again.”

Mia H.
“Mia Hawkins aka...dog whisperer. Seriously, there is something special about Mia when it comes to animals. Her calm energy, her knowledge on how to care for animals is extra special. I have watched her, first hand, take care, teach, respond in such a caring manner. These animals listen and respond back. When there is a challenge with our dog, I fall back to her for advice. She is responsible, punctual, and precise with the instructions for the care of the animal.Animals are in good hands with Mia. This position is a perfect fit in my opinion. She would be a great addition to Rovers team. Please call me for any further testimony about Mia if need be. Andrea Nudelman 408.483.8873”
