“Tony was excellent. We were out of town for 11 days, he sent us updates and photos. He is an amazing communicator. Our flight canceled coming home and I had my sister go pick up the dogs, she said that the dogs were so calm and happy. He also left my house spotless. I couldn't be more happy with Tony's services. We will be going out of town a few more times this year, Tony will be our FIRST choice, nd hopefully only choice. We couldn't be more happy with the respect and love he gave to our home and our dogs. Thanks Again Tony.”

About: Being around animals is nothing new to me, they tend to love my radiant energy. I like to take the dogs to the park to let them get the zoomies out, and watching cats make biscuits !😂 I work from home so animals keep me company. My home is extremely welcoming, clean and easygoing for the nervous ones. We love all pets Preferably the ones that Do Not Bite!! Please and Thank you ! Park down the street just to make our day more active. I’m easy to communicate with and give updates and send pictures throughout the duration of the stay. Feel free to ask any questions or give advice about your pets. If any changes come up please let me know as soon as possible. I’m very accommodating and understanding. I do house visits if needed!

“Aileen was so good with my dogs. She sent lots of update photos and kept in touch. My dogs are on the shy side but they warmed up to her very fast. She is so sweet and my dogs loved her will definitely be booking whenever they need a sitter!”

“Makeda was very accommodating when I requested an orientation visit a week or so before the scheduled dogsitting, and impressed me not only by the details she had requested about my dog in advance but also with her recall of what I had told her. She sent several photos of my dog to me while I was away, and apart from a scattering of treats she left for my pet, she otherwise left no trace--very clean and respectful.”

“Elena watching our high energy one year golden retriever and cat with separation anxiety for 14 days while we were out of the country. We came home to a clean home and happy, healthy pets, which is everything we could have hoped for. Elena was prompt with communication and profession. We had a great experience and will definitely hire Elena again in the future.”

“andy stayed in our home and watched our 3 cats and 1 dog for a couple of days/nights and i would hire him again in an instant! he was so quick to respond, highly communicative, followed my detailed instructions, asked questions when needed, and sent so many photos, videos, and updates! we’ve tried a few different sitters (pros and friends) and he’s definitely one of the best. i highly recommend him for your pets!”
About: I’ve been working with my friends over the past few years with her rover dogs and I’ve had a lot of fun with them. I also had my own dogs over the years. We had our sweet Chihuahua Chuy for over 14 years and I had my dear German Shepard Duke for 11 years. I work Monday-Friday since I teach at SBCUSD. I am available weeknights and weekends for in house care. Let me know your schedule/needs and I’ll work with you :) I can drop in and take care of your pets and I can board your cat. I have 4 cats at home, but I have a separate room where I can board your kitty that is divided so my cats won’t bother :)
“Sarah took great care of our kitty and our home. Our cat can be skittish and anxious around new people, but she they immediately vibed so well! We could tell in our daily updates that she was having so much fun and bonding with Sarah.”


“Marilyn was able to house sit and stay with my 2 pups and manage their daily walking and eating routines while I was out of town. I trust her to both take care of my pups and respect my home boundaries. Please note providing a general schedule will help manage expectations So Marilyn is also able to manage her daily routine and personal responsibilities outside of my home. I Would reccomended her for your future needs 🙂”


About: I prioritize clear, timely communication with owners and provide honest updates, photos, and notes after each visit. I have taken care of several different pets such as cats and dogs. I will always ensure the best care for the pets under my supervision. I can also keep up with high energy pets, but also provide calm energy for the pets who like to just hang around. I am currently working part time and will be attending medical school starting in the fall. My weekends are almost always free and can frequently provide overnight care during the week. I will ensure to provide clear and frequent communication with host when taking care of your pets in your home or when visiting. Trust is a priority to me when taking care of your pets so I will ensure it is earned from both your pets and from yourself.
About: Ever since I was very young, I have taken care of a multitude of different pets and animals! I have taken good care of very small and very large dogs, cats of different personalities, young puppies and kittens (some requiring more care than others), and even different types of animals such as turtles and guinea pigs. I am very educated on what it takes to care for an animal and the different needs they may have from pet to pet. I have always treated the animals in my care with very much love and respect and will always take the time to teach and correct behaviors properly and know the correct animal body language to tell when an animal is uncomfortable with a situation or is in need of care. I currently have open availability throughout the week, including weekdays, evenings, weekends, and holidays. This flexibility allows me to accommodate a variety of care needs, whether it's drop-in visits, extended stays, or last-minute bookings. I am committed to providing dependable, consistent care and ensuring pets receive the attention, companionship, and routine they need. For in-home care, I will provide exclusively in my clients' homes, where pets can remain comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I will take the time to learn each pet's schedule, preferences, and any special care they need to ensure consistency while their owners are away. I prioritize safety by following all care instructions carefully, securing doors and gates, monitoring pets during play and walks, and keeping a clean, stress-free environment. My goal is to build trust with both pets and their owners by providing reliable, attentive care and regular updates throughout each visit.
“Eliana took great care of our babies and our home! We felt confident leaving them in her care based on her calm, kind demeanor and the insightful questions she asked during the meet and greet, which showed her knowledge and intuition for animal behavior. She kept in great contact and was even a great sport about some circuit breaker issues that popped up while we were away. Reliable, responsive, and very sweet with our precious pets!”

“Cambria took awesome care of our two cats while we were away! She’s professional and responsive, and we appreciated the updates and photos. Our cats look forward to seeing her again!”

“Lynette was wonderful with my fur babies. Because my doggies are older and require extensive care, I am very nervous about leaving them. Lynette made me feel comfortable. She tended to their needs and provided the extra care they needed. She is also extremely reliable, which is hard to find. I appreciate her so much!”

About: I'll go on runs, walks, and take your dogs to the park. I am willing to bathe and take your dog to places you know they love. I'm available all day. i have had various different breeds of dogs, small dogs such as chihuahuas to large dogs such as Huskies, Bull dogs, and Boxers. If it's too hot outside, the dog will remain inside due to hot concrete. Will go out of way to buy dog toys and treats. I'm an active individual so i'm constantly outside and at parks, hiking and beach. If your dog has a eating and potty schedule i will be more than willing to follow that schedule as to not throw off the dogs routine. I’m available all day, everyday! I started dog sitting on the Wag! App in 2020… if you would like to see my reviews on their feel free as in new to Rover. If I’m boarding, I live in an apartment with a patio area in the front that doesn’t have a gate… I can crate your dog/cat if needed if crate is provided, inside or outside. If walking, I will keep pets inside if it’s too hot as cement will burn their paws

About: I'm very good at dog trainer and loves to take care of animals. I have had a very sick dog that I have care of for all his life. From there I have learn how to care for sick animals. I enjoy doing morning walks with my dogs and evenings walks. When it comes to food time sometimes I do enjoy working with them so hand feeding is big for me unless the dog doesn't like that. I like to have a list from the owners to know what their pets expect. Such as if there's a food schedule and walks schedule. I do take safety precautions with dogs I dont know.
About: I have had many dogs growing up who I’ve cared for. I currently take care of my best friends dog while she’s out of town and love interacting with new dogs. As of right now I have a free schedule so anytime I’m needed will work. I’m open work to anytime of the day or night. I have a fenced back yard where they will have room to play and be comfortable. If they aren’t outside dogs then they are more than welcomed to roam in my house.
Mount Vernon pet parents share their Rover experiences
We had a wonderful experience with our in-home pet sitter. They took excellent care of our dog, providing plenty of attention, affection, and reliable care while we were away. It was such a relief knowing our dog could stay comfortable in their own environment. We also returned to a spotless home, which was an unexpected but greatly appreciated bonus. Professional, trustworthy, communicative, and genuinely caring—we would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional pet care and will happily book with them again.
Kimberly absolutely exceeded our expectations. I had arranged for a sitter and the morning of she never answered my messages or calls, leaving us with no one to care for our pup and a flight to catch. Kimberly quickly responded to my request and was so kind and accommodating. She treated our furbaby like her very own and sent pictures for updates. She asked questions about our pup and his routine which gave me so much peace of mind to know he was in caring hands. He was definitely spoiled by her. 110% satisfied snd won’t hesitate to book her again next time we need a sitter.
