“Dane agreed to dog sit for me at the last minute when my dog was having some health issues and I was worried about leaving him alone. Dane was so positive, friendly, and attentive! I will definitely seek him out in the future with any dog sitting needs.”

“Josie is fabulous! She went above and beyond to care for our dog this week, picking him up at his doggie daycare and adding an extra day of care when we were stuck in Mexico on our return travels. We received many pictures and updates, and Odie clearly loves her! Thank you, Josie! Will definitely hire again.”

“Stephanie was fantastic! We can’t recommend her enough. She was really great with our older pup and ornery cat. And- did an awesome job taking care of our house. She followed every instruction exactly as we requested and left the house super clean! We hope she’ll be available for our future travels ☺️ thank you, Stephanie!!”

“We had to find a sitter on very short notice, and Jisselle was a godsend. She was prompt, communicative, and took wonderful care of our dog. She also sent lots of adorable photos. Would absolutely book again!”

“Qishu was amazing with our high energy dog and extremely communicative with us. We received lots of updates and pictures over all the days we were gone. We would unreservedly recommend Qishu to anyone!”

“Christine is truly wonderful! Whenever I come home, my dogs are relaxed and happy, which I believe is thanks to her caring attention while I'm away. She always keeps me in the loop, which I really appreciate. Thanks so much, Christine!!”


“Trustworthy sitter that was super flexible with our schedule and attentive to our pup’s needs! House was spotless and dog was happy upon our arrival home. Will definitely plan to invite again!”

“Kristi did an amazing job watching our four dogs for us while we were out of the country. She communicated and followed instructions perfectly. We came home to a clean house and happy pups!”

About: Hi, my name is Andy, I absolutely love taking care of pets, and have experience with dogs, cats, bunnies, and reptiles. I have worked with a lot of older dogs and have a ton of experience working with many different breeds of dogs and cats. I have a 13 year old Lhasa Apso that I have had since I was 12 years old who I care for so much especially as she is getting older. I have taken care of all my families pets and always do well with friends pets and I love playing with and caring for them. I currently work from home which allows me to work from anywhere and watch your pets during the day while providing them the utmost attention. My availability is really flexible and I can definitely accommodate any of your requests to my best ability! I want your pet to feel at home when they are with me, so I always like to request a quick meet and greet to ensure we are all comfortable. I know that meeting someone new and possibly having a change of environment can be stressful on some pets, but I assure you I will do everything I can to make sure they feel safe and comfortable in any environment with me.
“Danielle is fantastic. She took time to get to know our dog before we left the country for a week and asked a lot of questions. She gave our very active 3-year-old pit bull plenty of attention, exercise and love. She also kept us up to date on how things were going and sent photos. We returned home to find a happy and relaxed dog. Danielle is also extremely personable and cool. I plan to hire her again when we need someone to take care of our dog. Hire with total confidence.”

“Maya was awesome. She came to take care of my two boys. She was prompt and helpful, easy to talk to and work with, and was a great houseguest. She provided updates when asked how the boys are doing. She made sure my dogs got everything they needed, especially extra snuggles. My anxious terrier felt really comfortable with her and Maya was successful with giving my dachshund his daily meds. I will definitely use Maya again the next time I need help caring for my dogs!”

“Korin kept me updated about my two boys throughout our trip. They looked relaxed and were even playing nonstop when we were gone- which is rare if we aren’t around-That’s how you know she made them comfortable. One of our dogs accidentally gave his doggy brother a boo-boo from playing a little rough and she knew what to do right in that moment and stayed calm. She obviously has a lot of Experience with dogs and I will use her again in the future.”

About: I’ve loved cats all my life, and I love meeting new ones! I’m trained and experienced in cat care, body language, and behavior from kittens as young as 8 weeks to senior cats as old as 18 years. I volunteer with under socialized cats, sick and special needs cats, and cats with behavior quirks at Cat Town - a cat rescue in Oakland. Through my experiences with pet-sitting, volunteering, and fostering, I’ve learned to administer oral, topical, and injected medications (and an asthma inhaler!) and meet cats where they’re at to provide love, attention, and playtime! I’m looking forward to the chance to meet your cat and spend time with them :) My job has flexible start times, so I can visit your pet in the mornings and evenings as needed on weekdays. I am also available for weekend stays or visits! I am dedicated to not only your pet's safety, but also their health and well-being! I will do my best to stick to the routine you've developed with your pet, from meals to playing and lots of pets! I also give thorough updates, since I want you to feel at ease while you’re away from your pet!
“Salina was very punctual and communicative. She stayed at our house and took care of our senior dog and outdoor cats for 2 days and we felt totally comfortable with her making sure everyone was well taken care of!”

About: I am new to the Bay Area and while I am working on a certification I am hoping to hang with some pets. I can’t actually think of a more fun way of earning money. I was raised with dog and cats of all kinds. I have had ones with health issues and ones that need LOTS of exercise. My current dog needs lots of walks, which I really enjoy. I grew up with a few different pups, including one with seizures and one with diabetes. I’m familiar with having to give reluctant pets meds and shots. I have a senior cat currently and am happy to sit and pet. Im looking forward to caring for your pet as if it were my own. I am new to the area due to my husband being transferred with the Coast Guard to the area. I currently have a normal 9 to 5 and looking to supplement my income. I love dogs and cats so much I cant think of a better part time gig. I am adaptable and an happy to care for your pet in any way they need. Keeping them on a normal schedule can be important and I understand that. I particularly love taking dogs on walks, especially in the nice FL weather (which may be the evenings after the sun sets in the summer).
“Dylan was awesome! Very communicative, caring and conscientious. We left Dylan with an old, sickly kitty, with multiple meds and they handled all her needs reliably, along with the 3 other furry pets and a fishtank. When we arrived home, everyone was relaxed and unstressed. We have already rebooked!”

Emily was wonderful to work with throughout the process from beginning to the end. She arranged a meet before our week long vacation. We have three cats and our house is undergoing a big renovation which allows easy escape for the cats to go explore all day long. She was booked for in- house sitting and was awesome at gathering all three of them in the evening after the the construction ended each day. She sent pics, communicated updates and tolerated the chaos in my house. ANNNND....I am certain my house was even cleaner than when I left. I absolutely look forward to utilizing Emily's services going forward. I am so glad my first Rover.com experience led me to her!

Ava did an outstanding job caring for my dog, Gemma, who has special needs. She followed my instructions carefully and asked thoughtful questions to ensure Gemma received the best possible care. When a health issue arose during my absence, she handled it exceptionally well by keeping me informed, sending photos, and communicating promptly. Fortunately, everything worked out fine. When I returned, Gemma was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Ava also took excellent care of my home and followed all of the condo rules. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely hire her again. I highly recommend her!

Sara was absolutely wonderful with our babies. Both of our animals are pretty anxious, so we were nervous about introducing a new sitter... but it was immediately very clear that Sara put them at ease. She sent regular updates, including pictures showing our pets happy, relaxed, and incredibly well cared for. Sara is a thoughtful, communicative, responsive, snd caring sitter who clearly love animals -- and they love her back! We will definitely be booking her again :)

We adopted our dog only a month ago, and we were a bit nervous about leaving her for a short trip since she was still acclimating to her new home, but once Alejandra came over to meet her, we knew she was in good hands. We especially liked that Alejandra had experience with reactive dogs since our dog is a bit reactive. Alejandra spent 3 nights with her, shared updates and photos, and left our house spotless. We would definitely feel good about leaving our dog with Alejandra again.

Jana took wonderful care of our 13½-year-old miniature poodle, Claire, in our home. She was incredibly loving and attentive to Claire and kept us well-informed with daily updates and lots of photos, which we greatly appreciated. Claire requires daily medication, and Jana followed all instructions carefully. Jana was also an excellent house sitter. We returned to a spotless home and a happy, well-cared-for Claire! I wholeheartedly recommend Jana to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and responsible pet sitter. Thank you so much, Jana!

I was so grateful that Cassandra and her daughter (who’s also on Rover) watched my dog, Shaya, after a very last minute cancellation from another sitter. Shaya can be nervous and a bit reactive, but was immediately comfortable with both, and they each clearly have a lot of experience with dogs. They sent regular photos and videos and took beautiful care of my home. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire them again.

Carly was great for our zoo of 2 cats and 2 dogs. She was willing to come meet the animals quickly before the date of her services since it was so many animals and an overnight stay. She sent so many pictures and video updates it was great! She also messaged with any questions that I was unclear about to make sure that the animals were taken care of as intended. Would highly recommend her!

Adrienne filled in on short notice and was super thoughtful to my dog's needs, and her level of separation anxiety. They arrived promptly at the scheduled time, which was helpful, as I had an event to go to. They communicated with me when my dog was slow to eat and helped her along with some treats we left, and when I returned my was home neat and tidy. My dog also did not seem overly agitated when we came home, so I think she had a nice time and was comfortable even though this Adrienne's first time meeting my dog and pet sitting for me. I would hire them again!
