Michelle was the best Rover ever! She came with extensive experience with animals at the Humane Society, which is just what Spirit needed. Spirit was a rescue and although very well adjusted to her new home, having the most experienced and loving caretaker. At our meet and greet, Michelle asked about all of her needs, medical and how to play with her. She was an instant friend with organic buffalo treats on our meet and greet. In our week away we got daily updates with wonderful pictures of Spirit doing her favorite things from eating to playing with her favorite toys. The bubbles, the balls and her wand. She was a happy well fed cat while we were gone. She even turned up the heat on a cold day in Forestville. Michelle was a fantastic Rover and Spirit and her family were very grateful to have fo

Melissa is wonderful! 2 of our 3 dogs have different reactivity issues, and have had some of their “stranger danger” get worse between the pandemic and moving to Sonoma County. It’s a big relief to see our dogs resocializing and looking forward to interacting with new people

Hi my name is Gail. I have dog named Louie. I went away on vacation to Ireland in may. I had to find a dependable person to be able to care for my dog while I was away over two weeks...I asked Kaile. To pet sit for me. She was the best trustworthy , very dependable and her gift with animals is very clear. ...I would highly recommend her ....I also have a Parrot she took care during that time. If he likes her she truly is an animal whisper. He didn't like anyone but me....

Anisa is an amazing pet sitter. She took care of our dog like he was her own. She was great about following all of the instructions left, amount of time left alone, walk schedule, etc. She left our home in better shape than we left it. She sent updates with pics, which I loved getting. I would trust Anisa in our home with our dog anytime and always feel a peace that our dog is loved and cared for while we are away.

I have been friends and colleagues with Monica for nearly a decade, she is trustworthy, thoughtful, and caring. She has watched my dog, Echo, on a number of occasions. Echo is high energy and has epilepsy- she requires medication throughout the day to manage her condition. Monica follows Echo's medication schedule closely, and Echo always comes home tired after playing with Monica's friendly dog, Phoenix. Echo adores Monica, and I know she's in good hands!

Kathleen has a gift when it comes to animals! I’m convinced that my pets love her more than they love me. She had sat for/walked my dogs and my cat, and my experience with her has been nothing short of amazing. She is attentive and compassionate, and my pets are always sad to leave her after they’ve been in her care. All three of my pets are senior citizens with special needs, and she is very skilled at dealing with their various needs and administering their medications. Beyond this, she is reliable, trustworthy, and communicative. I highly recommend her, and I would trust her with my pets again without question!!

About: I have been dog sitting for years but started Rover in 2022. I started out caring for my two pugs and cat, and have been sitting for family, friends, and folks on Rover. I am currently working as an overnight nursing assistant on Sunday-Tuesday, so I have plenty of time to take care and play with your pet! The rest of the days I am here to help, so they can get all the love and attention they can get while you’re away! When I am at a client’s home I make sure fencing is secured if needed. My home has a fence as well. I also make sure they have enough place to play whether it could be inside or out. I prefer to be outside with them! I love being active with animals but if you’re pet is somewhat a couch potato OR old, I can comfort them in whatever way they feel comfortable.

I would like to recommend Franciose to anyone who is in need of a dog sitter. Her warm and kind demeanor make both owners and dogs feel comfortable at once. My dog Cara took to her with her within seconds, and based on how affectionate she was by the end of our visit, it was clear that the two of them had a great time together. I was also impressed by Franciose’s ability to read and interpret “dog psychology”. She could recognize Cara’s tracking behavior, excitement and agitation and respond accordingly. I felt as though she has a sense of what was going through her mind. She remained calm even while Cara was nervous of other dogs in the neighborhood, and seemed to respond intuitively in a way that calmed her down. Francoise really is a loving and trustworthy petsitter. I would happily leave Cara with her again. I highly recommend her to anyone wanting a responsible petsitter for their furry friend!

About: I work with a flexible schedule in West County, so am excited to be able to care for your beloved pets while you’re out of the house! I have been a dog dad before, uncle to many a wonderful pups, and know how to work with and make all types of doggos feel safe. I love to exercise, hike, run and would love to walk your dog as far as they want to go or run around with them for a bit. I have a car so I can get around to wherever you’re located, especially if needed for house sitting. I have experience with little pups and owned a big 60lb puppy. I’ve worked with and loved nervous dogs and built relationship with reactive dogs who need a bit more to of a watchful eye when on a walk or meeting others. I also speak Spanish and have cared for a dog that only speaks Spanish! Some weeks I’m working full time in person and some weeks I have a ton of flexibility at home! I would only take dog sitting gigs if I know I’m gonna be around with a flexible schedule:) I totally understand how vulnerable it can be to invite someone into your home and to care for a precious loved one (your sweet animal!). I’m incredibly neat and prioritize families returning to a home better than they found it. My work is with youth and in mental health- I am a trustworthy resource for you and your animal, and a great communicator while you’re away!

About: I’ve had a pack my whole life. We are currently only home to one pup and we thought we might do some Doggie day care to fill the hole left in our hearts when our Zoey and Nora crossed the rainbow bridge. We recently returned to our home in Occidental after 18 months in Vermont. Since I’m in between jobs, and we have all this space, I though we would do a little doggie day care. I have a fenced acre yard and multiple kennels for pups who like the security of a crate. We also do some crate training and basic command training.

Lily C. has taken care of our pets when we were out of town on several occasions. We have 3 dogs, a bird and 1 cat, plus a 75 gallon fish tank with 20 fish. We always felt comfortable with the care of our pets when in Lily’s care. We always came back to happy healthy animals with a freshly cleaned cat box. We have had several people watch our animals over the years, but lily is one our favorite caregivers. If she is ever to move back to Vermont, we would love to have her care for our pets when needed.

I've known Eliza for many years, and would absolutely trust her with my pets and my home. Since I've known her, she's had dogs, cats, goats, sheep, and they have all been happy critters. Dogs have a special place in her heart, and I know she will take very good care of yours. I have no reservations about recommending Eliza to take care of your pet.
