“Caitlin took great care of our dogs while we were away. She was very responsive and kind. We came back to a tidy house and happy dogs! Will definitely book Caitlin again in the future!”
“Sarah was perfect for us! We have an elderly cat and dog and she catered to both of their needs and eccentricities so that we could go on a short trip without worrying about them. We will definitely be calling her back in the future!”
“Emma did an AMAZING job with my two little fur babies! I would 100 percent recommend her for caring for your pet! She is so kind, thoughtful and sweet, went above and beyond and my pups looked really happy when I arrived home! 😊”
“Evan was great! Very good with handling Delilah and providing updates on her as well as not being afraid to ask clairfying questions for things I forgot to mention in her care plan”
“Heather was great and provided all the peace of mind we needed while we went to visit family. I let her know ahead of time that I was a bit anxious, and she was very punctual, communicative, and understanding. She sent regular updates, and was patient in letting our senior dog warm up to her while she stayed in our home. She was flexible and able to stay on top of our dog's needy meds/food schedule, and we came back to a happy, healthy pup. Our primary concern was our dog's care, but it was a bonus that Heather was a clean and respectful houseguest. We'd love to book with her again in the future :)”
“She was amazing, was able to book her last minute and she was very good with communication. She sent photos and videos while she was over watching our dog and even left a note! Would highly recommend and will definitely be using her again!”
“Akira was fantastic with Chop. He gave us regular updates, lots of pictures, and really seemed to *get* Chop the way we do. Everything went well (even with her reactivity to other animals on walks) and we were very happy. Will book again.”
“It was our first time using Rover and we had a great experience! Ericka sent regular pics and updates. When we got home our dog was happy and content. When we’ve had to use something more like daycare in the past, he just gets really stressed and barely eats. We will be using rover again in the future for sure.”
“Connor (CK) took great care of Roxy while we were out of town for 3 days. He took her on walks and to the dog park, and provided lots of attention. He followed our instructions and took good care of our home. He sent pics and a report each day. She was calm when we got back home — a sure sign that she was well cared for.”
“Anne is great and I would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs. She is communicative and my dog warned up to her quickly, he could just sense how open and caring she is to dogs.”
“Libby was amazing!! She made everything so easy - sending pictures throughout and keeping us updated on how the dogs were doing. She also took great care of our house and even brought in our packages. We highly recommend and will definitely book again.”
“Jayne took great care of our dog and bunny when we were away overnight! The pets were happy and the house looked great when we came home. We will be happy to have her sit for us again in the future.”
“Wallis went above and beyond to enable a reservation for us. Her updates during reservations are well timed, helpful, and informative. The action shots she has captured have been hilarious (#husky). Cannot recommend her highly enough.”
“Val was absolutely amazing with my two dogs. She sent pictures throughout the day and took exceptional care of them. We will definitely be asking her back.”
“She is amazing!!! She took care of our cat and dog and also was an amazing house guest, left everything clean and tidy and overall it was a wonderful experience. I will be booking with her again and would recommend her to anyone!”
“Becca is an awesome pet sitter! She immediately attached to our dog who is very nervous and sometimes doesn’t like people. She was so supportive of his needs.”
“Good communication, kind, considerate. She went above and beyond to make sure my "non-traditional" pets also had water in addition to my cat. She was respectful of my house, and I will be requesting her services again in the future!”
North Oakland pet parents share their Rover experiences
I could not have wished for a better caregiver! It is evident in the photos that my pets loved interacting with Elad and especially trips to the dog off-lease area. Just a week before my trip, Mr. Darcy was diagnosed with diabetes, and I am grateful that Elad accepted the challenge. Thank you sooo much for not only making all the pets comfortable, but also keeping them healthy. Exceptional service, I highly recommend Elad!
Brea was hands down the best dog sitter we ever had on Rover. She stayed at our house for a week with our 3 year old boxer and really made our trip worry free. Flora was taken on daily walks, given her daily vitamins, and cared for. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter and will definitely try to book her in the future.
Sophie was absolutely a wonderful choice for sitting our dog while we went out of town for five days. The number of updates, photos, walks, and just overall dedication to our senior dog was incredible and caring. I truly appreciate how Sophie got right into caretaking and immediately made him feel comfortable and had him at her side. We really could enjoy our time away, knowing that he was in good hands. We really feel Sophie went above and beyond in multiple ways, including feeding him by hand at a certain point when he was not keeping his typical appetite, which really got him to eat. That was so kind! Thank you!
Erin was great! She was very communicative the first couple of days and made sure my pups had everything as close to normal as possible; she then sent pics and updates 1-2x/day from there. One of my pups is special needs and can be difficult taking medications when I’m gone - Erin was able to get all her pills in and both pups were happy and healthy when we returned. And the house was clean and orderly, which was so nice after a long travel day. Thank you, Erin!
Rochelle was an absolutely top-notch sitter for our mini labradoodle and bunny while we were on vacation! She stayed in our home--no easy feat since we're in the middle of a kitchen renovation--and handled the chaos with grace and professionalism. She sent pictures every day, was very communicative, and left the house spotless. She clearly went above and beyond to make sure our pets were happy and well cared for. We will definitely have her back when we need petcare in the future!
Jessica was great! She watched our 2 year old dog and two cats while we were gone for 6 days. She gave us routine updates of how our animals were doing and sent plenty of pictures which was greatly appreciated. She left the house clean and definitely put our minds at ease while we were away. We would absolutely use her services again the next time we go away.
We had Clytie house sit for us, and she was absolutely phenomenal! Truly, it was the best experience we’ve had with a sitter through this app. She kept us completely up-to-date on what was happening with our dog (which significantly reduced our anxiety) and followed all of our instructions to a T. We will absolutely be booking her in the future.
