About: I have 2 dogs of my own and have always loved animals and work this them all the time. I also work for a friend who does fostering for cats. I also have the wag! App and use it as well, you can find me on there and book a service through there too. I’m currently a full time student at MSJC but have a few days off so I am willing to pick up some work on the days I have free and work with furry friends. I have a fenced off yard with 2 friendly dogs, I have a pool in the backyard that is regularly cleaned (not very deep and easy to get out of for most dogs) I have chickens but they are in a cage so no contact can be made. I do have neighbors with dogs but the fence is secure and no one can touch each other. In addition I have 5 cats who all love dogs (might be scared but not mean).

“This was Rachel’s first week dropping in and taking care of my 3 1/2 month old puppy and she takes great care of her and my puppy always looks very happy and calm during her visits. Rachel is also very knowledgeable about dogs which allows her to better understand their needs without any prompting”
“This is the second time using Laura and she was just as wonderful as the first. She made drop in visits this booking and we were just as pleased as when she stayed overnight. We love that our very shy and cautious guy has already taken to trusting Laura, that is enough for us to know she is amazing. Laura sent us pictures on every and always responded very quickly to our texts. We love Laura, but more importantly our kitties love Laura.”
“Absolutely the very best sitters ever!!! Boujee loves them and I always feel safe knowing Caleb and Sara are taking good care of him and my home! I no longer feel anxious when I leave Boujee home alone. Thank you both! 🙌🏼👏🏼🙏🏻”
About: I have loved dogs my whole life. My dog Kesha lived for almost 18 years. He passed away from old age a few years ago, and it was a big loss for our family. But we understand that unfortunately, our pets can’t stay with us forever. Later, I moved to Europe, where I spent about a year taking care of dogs and cats for other people. After moving to America and getting our own home, Bax, a pit bull from a shelter, came to stay with us as a foster dog. We were only supposed to keep him temporarily, but our whole family fell in love with him and we couldn’t let him go. So Bax became part of our family. Later, our neighbors asked us to take care of their dog while they were away. We agreed and realized how much we enjoyed having another pet in our home. We live in a very safe neighborhood, have a fenced backyard, and plenty of space in our home for another pet who needs a comfortable place to stay. We have young children, so it is very important that your pet is friendly with kids and does not show aggression toward them. As a loving mom, I know how important it is to feel that someone you love is safe and cared for. I will take care of your pets with the same attention, patience, and warmth that I give to my own family. I’m home most of the time and have a flexible schedule. My children go to school on their own, so I don’t need to leave for school drop-offs or pick-ups. I personally take care of all pets during bookings and make sure they receive plenty of attention, love, and care. We live in a quiet and safe neighborhood and have a fenced backyard where dogs can play and spend time outside. Our home has plenty of space, and your pet will always get lots of attention and care. We also have a friendly dog, Bax, and young children, so we can only accept pets that are friendly with kids and other dogs.
“Katherine was great! We requested her complete a few drop in visits over the weekend. This was a very last minute request and she responded quickly and even was available for a meet and greet the same day of the request. This helped us so much! She sent photos each drop in. Thank you Katherine!!”
About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a family that raised Yorkies and German Shepherds, and I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. I’ve also trained my own Rottweiler and have years of experience around horses as an equestrian mom. I understand how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for your pet. My goal is to provide a safe, loving and attentive environment where your dog feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I especially enjoy caring for small dogs and am happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. Flexible schedule so I have plenty of time to provide attentive, personalized care. I specialize in private home boarding for one family at a time, which means your dog is not mixed with multiple unfamiliar dogs during their stay. This allows for a calm environment, focused supervision, and a comfortable experience where pets can relax and feel secure. There are no small children in the home and no smoking. There is a small fenced patio with no ability to escape. Downstairs is all wood floors (potty-proof and puppy friendly) 😊💜. For safety and comfort, I typically host only one household’s dogs at a time.
About: Growing up, I always wanted to be a veterinarian. I soon realized it wouldnt be the job for me because I would want to take all the sick pets home to care for them 🤷🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️ I've always had animals since I was young and taking care of them come naturally. Im always the person my family calls on for pet care and advice. From puppies and kittens to the oldies I've had them all and can administer medication if needed. I'm a stay at home mom of 3 little humans and 2 fur babies. Im home everyday most of the day unless dropping/ picking up my kids from school or a short errand. I have a fenced yard with a brick barrier. Your pets have a safe shaded place to play, relax and go potty with plenty of bushes and trees!
“Erick has helped with our pets several times and he has been nothing short of kind, accommodating, and trustworthy. My pets are always so happy when I get home and we can rest easy knowing he is there with them.”
“Stephanie far exceeded our expectations. This was the first time leaving our dogs (11 & 12) and wouldn't have asked for them to be left in better hands. Stephanie followed our schedule to a tee and made sure our dogs were given attention to and walked in addition to their feedings. Stephanie was also in contact with us at each visit and sent pictures that meant the world to us to receive. We plan on booking Stephanie for our next out of town trip in a couple of months.”
About: I am a Massage Therapist for over 26 years taking a little break from the spa world. I found myself having extra time. Recently, my friends have been asking me to dog sit for them and I thought why not open my services to my community. I recently watched a very sweet dog for a week became very attached giving lots of love and massages. I have a friendly five year-old dog that loves companionship. We have a pool that we all love to get into and cool off. I can give dog baths, dog walks dog parties. Have comfort in knowing that your dog will be well taken care of. I have the flexibility with my work schedule to only be gone 5 to 6 hours any given day. I can do check-ins a couple of times a day as well as overnight sitting in my own home. We have a decent size fenced yard. We live on a pretty quiet street with only one or two dog neighbors. My dog copper is very friendly and loves company. Copper normally stays inside, especially during the hot months. We have a park nearby that I like to throw the ball and get the wiggles out. On occasion, we take our dog to a dog park.
“Tasha was a total angel with Shadow. He loved her and that makes me feel so good when I have to leave him. She is kind, loving and kept everything in the house organized and most important my baby was happy. We have found a new very special friend :)”
About: I have have taken care of every many different kind of animals my whole life including, hamsters, bunnies, cats, dogs, reptiles. I know how to give medicine to animals as I have experience. I am super flexible. I will treat your furry friend(s) like they are my own. I will make sure they are comfortable in your own because I know sometimes having their owner gone be frightening. I am very flexible, so I have plenty of time to play with your furry friends. I can drop in at anytime it doesn't matter what day it is. Every time I check in, I make sure that it is a safe and clean environment for your animal. When I check in, if they pulled something from outside I will make sure that I clean it up so they don't chew on it.
“Bobby was fantastic! He completed a drop-in visit for our dog and went above and beyond our expectations. Even though we only booked a 30 minute visit, he spent extra time playing with her to make sure she got plenty of attention and exercise. He also made sure she was fed and that her water bowl was full before leaving. It gave us great peace of mind knowing she was so well cared for while we were away. Bobby was reliable, caring, and clearly loves animals. We will absolutely book him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!”
About: I’m a professional dog trainer with 4+ years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all ages, personalities, and energy levels.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Murrieta
My first experience using Roover and Ava was very professional and very sweet. I was updated throughout the time of her dropping in on my dog Reese’s. She even made sure to there were towels to clean his feet after taking him out in the rain. Thanks again for making my first experience great!
Rachelle was so so fantastic with our baby! It was our first time using rover and she sent constant updates with pictures! We felt so comfortable being away from our puppy knowing she was taking care of him. Will definitely use her again when we’re back in town!
Although this was a short booking (only 2 visits) I was very impressed with Amy. She has a very warm and caring personality and our Buster took to her immediately! She left thorough reports for each visit. I could tell that she enjoyed taking care of and spending time with Buster. We will definitely be booking Amy for future trips!
I seriously cannot recommend Allison enough! She watched my two cats while we were away, and as a cat mom with very skittish cats, I was honestly nervous leaving them. My girl cat also needed medicine during the stay, and Allison handled everything so perfectly and carefully. What meant the most to me was that BOTH of my cats actually came up to her both days she watched them! which literally never happens with new people. It was such a huge relief and says everything about how calm, patient, and kind she is with animals. She was also incredibly flexible, communicative, easy to work with, and genuinely caring the entire time. I felt so reassured knowing my cats were comfortable with her and being so well taken care of. I would absolutely trust Allison to watch them again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, sweet, and amazing with pets🤍
This is the second time using Laura and she was just as wonderful as the first. She made drop in visits this booking and we were just as pleased as when she stayed overnight. We love that our very shy and cautious guy has already taken to trusting Laura, that is enough for us to know she is amazing. Laura sent us pictures on every and always responded very quickly to our texts. We love Laura, but more importantly our kitties love Laura.
Aridelsey was fantastic! She was polite, respectful, and extremely communicative throughout the entire booking. She arrived right on time for both visits, and when we met her, she was friendly, warm, and very personable. She cared for our Rizzo girl as if she were her own, and she sent plenty of photos and updates that gave us total peace of mind. Highly recommend booking with her!
Lauren did a fantastic job of taking care of my two cats for 8 days. They both are shy and do not come out for strangers. She came twice a day to check on them made sure they had fresh food and water. Cleaned the litter box and updated me on any odd behavior. I will definitely hire her again on my next time away from home.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
