“Danni went above and beyond in taking care of my puppy during our first weekend trip away. I truly was able to relax knowing she was in good hands, as Danni is both experienced with dogs and very nurturing. I also really appreciated how she agreed to sit on such short notice, even July 4th nonetheless. She even generously cleaned up a few things at my home. I definitely recommend Danni and will continue to stay in touch!”


“Misha did a great job taking care of my kitties, one of whom required 10 pills per day! She was super responsive, considerate, reliable, and kind.”


“Carey did a great job taking care of our dog while we were away. She kept us updated on his activities, shared several pictures, and made sure he was well looked after. She also took good care of our home, which we really appreciated. We’d be happy to book her again in the future and would recommend her to others looking for a reliable dog sitter!”

“Devi was great. We’ve already booked with her again! Devi was very responsive when booking. We were impressed by how professional she was when she came over for a meet-and-greet. Most importantly, she handled our easily overexcited, enormous dog perfectly—she was calm, let him set the pace, and he quickly relaxed with her. Devi sent updates and pics, so we were able to enjoy our weekend without worries.”


“Negin was wonderful and patient with my slightly demanding cat, accommodating his special care instructions and administering medication. She was patient and flexible, and I was happy to find someone I trusted with my cat and home sitting. Clearly, she loves animals, and works to get to know them and meet their needs. Sent great pics and updates to let me know he was in great hands!”


“Valorie was great! She communicated with me well, sent pictures, and was honest. My pups seem led to have a good time :) Sh is so nice and genuine and took such great care of the house too.”


About: Growing up with Vets as parents, animals have been a huge part of my life. Whether it’s walking your dog or house sitting, i’m there. Hey! I'm Zach Walsh. I'm a recent college graduate who is currently seeking employment in my desired field but am having some troubles finding a full time job, so looking to make some extra cash. I have a lifelong love for animals. Growing up in a family of veterinarians, I've been surrounded by pets and animal care my entire life. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for your furry family members, and I would be honored to help. I am available for dropping in and walking your dog or even staying the night and house sitting. I currently have 4 dogs and 3 cats. All are well taken care of and dogs are walked daily. Throughout my life, retrievers have been a big part of my life, most of my experience is with goldens and labs but i’ve walked and house sitted a variety of breeds.

“We asked Carla to dogsit our golden doodle this weekend. She did a fantastic job from start to finish. Carla came.to our house to meet Teddy and become familiar with her personality. Carla communicated with us through out the weekend, updating us with pictures and short texts. It is common for Teddy not to eat while we are gone, but because Carla made her feel calm, she ate the first evening Carla came. Carla left our home clean and in order. We highly recommend her to you and will be calling her in the future.”

“We got introduced to Esmerilda through a mutual connection and from the moment we met her we knew she’d be a great fit for our felines! As an aspiring veterinarian, Esmerilda has great attention to detail and is confident in handling pets with special needs or complicated medical demands. We had her house/pet sit for us for 10 days while we were out of the country and never once did we have a worry about how things were going. It’s great that we have found our best friends’ new best friend!”


“Nora is a phenomenal sitter for our dog and our cat. It makes my time away from them so much easier when I know that she is there taking care of them.”


“Natalie beat my expectations! She was extremely attentive of the dogs in every way. My house looked better than when I left it and the dogs were very sad to see her go. I will certainly be using her services again and I wish I used her in the past. I’m recommending her to all the pet owners in my family because she made house sitting feel truly seamless. She even watered my plants and picked up after my dogs which were things I told her she didn’t have to do! Thank you so much!”

About: Hello! I have taken care of dogs since 2009 with various experiences with my personal pets and many other family members pets. My uncle used to be a K9 police dog trainer and has many personal pets. Through him, i've been exposed to various sizes, mentalities, and activity limits. My experiences with big dogs like Great Danes and intelligent dogs like Belgian Malinois give me the confidence to handle any pets! I also have experienced dogs that can be easily spooked and might produce scary looking body language, allowing me to handle de-escalation while respecting the pet. Overall, I have seen all types of dogs and am equipped to give your pets a fun experience! I am currently working a day shift on UC Davis campus but can be available after 4:30pm on weekdays and anytime works on the weekends! I can take care of pets in a clients home by providing treats if allowed and using the environment of the clients home to entertain their pet. I won't be able to care for pets in my own because I don't have proper space, but I can walk them around the neighborhood!

“Dani was so sweet and great with our dogs! She played ball with them in our backyard. She sent us photos and updates daily. When we got home our house was cleaner than we left it! Definitely recommend Dani.”


About: I have experience with all sorts of pets like chickens, turtles, cats, and dogs. I love them all! ❤️ I am Cat and Dog First Aid Certified through the American Red Cross, Certified Pet Expert (CPS-DW), and an active member of Pet Sitters International (PSI). I am currently working on becoming a CPPS-Certified Professional Pet Sitter. Though I am semi-new to pet sitting, I am constantly learning about pet care and safety. Having grown up with pets, I understand they become members of the family. I cared for my sister’s former miniature poodle Sandy and have grown up with various breeds like chihuahuas and a dachshund. Though I do not own pets anymore due to my lifestyle and living arrangements, I miss being around them. My friends told me about Rover and I jumped right in! I offer personalized care, including daily walks and playtime. I ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and well-cared for as if it’s one of my own! As a Certified Pet Expert, I believe in using positive reinforcement instead of negative methods like e-collars or leash corrections, as they can harm trust and lead to aggression. While I'm not a dog trainer and won't suggest how to teach your dog, I'll happily follow your instructions and support your dog's training (: I work part-time and my availability changes weekly, so feel free to reach out for specific dates/times. My work shifts lasts around 4-5 hours so I may need to step out for house sits but drop-ins are typically are more flexible with this schedule. I update my availability regularly though the specific times may vary because of my part time. I’m flexible and happy to accommodate your pet’s needs whenever possible! For drop-ins for cats I take care of pet duties like food/water and the litter box. Then I either play with them or snuggle. I don’t mind going a bit over time to build trust, play, and spend time with them depending on their needs (: While walking your pet, I ensure they get plenty of exercise and mental stimulation, following their preferred pace and routine. I prioritize safety by keeping them on a leash and being mindful of their surroundings. For house sitting, I maintain your pet’s routine, providing meals, playtime, and cuddles. I make sure they feel secure and comfortable in their own home. I also handle light tasks like cleaning up after your pet, keeping the litter box tidy, and sending you regular updates on their well-being. Your pet will feel loved and well cared for while you're away!

“Mya took great care of our dog and house while we were away for a long weekend! She sent updates and pictures daily and it was very easy to communicate with her both before and during the stay. Highly recommended!”

Mace Ranch pet parents share their Rover experiences
We came home to a happy dog and clean house, couldn't ask for anything more! I'd recommend Kate for house and dog sitting.

Negin was an amazing pet sitter for my Lily. It’s always so hard to leave a pet when going away and it makes all the difference in the world to leave them in the hands of someone who is trustworthy and compassionate and Negin is definitely both of these! She genuinely cared about getting to know my cat and meeting her unique needs, she was super communicative and sent photos without me having to ask for them, and when I got home I could tell that Lily had been in good hands. Negin is dependable, caring, and has an innate knack for being with animals. I recommend her highly!

Elana was great with our dog Winnie! She was very communicative and responsible and sent lot of pictures. Winnie seemed to like her a lot, which made us comfortable leaving her in Elana’s care

Emme stayed at ny house for 4 nights while I was out of town. She took time to learn about my dog and his habits during the meet and greet. She asked questions and took notes. During her stay, she arrived on time, checked in often and gave me updates regularly. She is very attentive and asked questions that came up that we had not discussed. I felt my dog was cared for. I would recommend her and consider using her services again..
We were so lucky to have Diane caring for our dog aquarium pets, and home for our 10 day vacation! She shared lots of updates and patiently won the dog's heart. She even worked on some training goals!

Valorie was great! She communicated with me well, sent pictures, and was honest. My pups seem led to have a good time :) Sh is so nice and genuine and took such great care of the house too.

We feel so lucky to have found Carey. She house sat for us and took the BEST care of our dog Lily. She sent many, many pictures and videos of our Lily and it made us so happy to see our puppy dog was having such a fun time while we were away. I will definitely have her sit for us again and highly recommend her.

Misha did a great job taking care of my kitties, one of whom required 10 pills per day! She was super responsive, considerate, reliable, and kind.

Ashley was wonderful! I highly recommend her. She did such a great job with my little dog. She was timely, trustworthy, a great communicator, and best of all my dog loves her! Thank you, Ashley!

Mya is very special, and we feel so at ease knowing she is loving our pup and our home while we are away!💜🌺

Anna was wonderful! She spent lots of time with the pets and went above and beyond to make sure everything was as I’d hoped. Will definitely rebook!

Kira did a great job watching our puppy who is very high energy so can be challenging. Kira was very communicative and responsible.

Joon was fabulous! The house was clean; animals were well-fed, exercised and chill. The real give-away was that my old puppy usually goes into a frenzy when I return from a trip - so overjoyed to see me. This time she said she missed me, but not terribly. That speaks volumes for the care she received from Joon. Same with the kitty. Many stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!

Carla is a dependable, loving and trustworthy person who has blessed our family twice with her care for our animals. Our dog loves Carla more than us! She has spent the two weekends at our home while we were out of town and everything went perfectly. She even cared for our 8 hens this time, collecting eggs and feeding them each morning. If you have the privilege of receiving Carla's Rover services, you will not regret it.

This is my second time having Elsa take care of my kitties. Last time, she only took care of Clay, but this time around, she also took care of Oreo, my new kitten. She was attentive and caring. Both my cats have very different personalities and she was respectful of them. Oreo particularly enjoyed having Elsa’s company. She was affectionate and took the time to play with him. I am happy with Elsa’s services and I will rebook her in the future.

Marcella was a great sitter to our dogs while we were away for the Christmas holidays! She walked them and kept our place super clean, would recommend her services!!

Jasmine stayed one night in our house while we were away for the weekend, to feed and care for our mostly outdoor cat. She is a friendly, personable young woman who loves cats, and she was sweet and sensitive with our shy cat. She communicated well over the weekend, sending several photos and keeping us updated about when Maggie was in and out. We’d be happy to have her stay again; she’s even willing to be “on-call” to come over on short notice when our daughter goes into labor!

Gigi is an excellent house/pet sitter. Highly reliable and communicative. I did not have to worry about my pets while I was gone, as I knew they were in good hands. I highly recommend Gigi and would book her again in a heartbeat!!!

Noel is a fantastic dog sitter. She went above and beyond to take extra special care of my senior dog who requires lots of specific medication and routine. She treated him with exceptional care and love. I can tell he felt very comfortable. She is very reliable, punctual, and communicative. I 100% would book her again and recommend to friends and family.
