“Yajahyra is probably the best housesitter we've ever had! she's super responsive, sends lots of videos and pics. Timely, neat, flexible and helpful. All the great things! We will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Brandon was happily able to accommodate my last minute request. I gave him some specific instructions as I have a puppy that frequently barks and he had done just as I said when I returned home. He also arrived a couple of minutes early. He has a calm presence, I would hire Brandon again 👍☺️ 🐾”
“Were we pleased with Roshanda? Overjoyed! It's obvious that she takes pet sitting very seriously and our two pups received excellent care. Communication was excellent, pictures were very nice to have, and being confident that the girls were in good hands was absolutely priceless. And unless I'm mistaken, our house was tidier than when we left it! I recommend Roshanda whole-heartedly for those looking for a solid, dependable sitter who is also super nice. Thanks Roshanda!”
“Absolutely amazing. I never trust anyone with my 16 year old delicate baby and she did so well either Riley. Riley had a few accidents and she even took care of her and moved her, got her clean blankets under her and sent update pics. Will book again. Very professional and reliable!”
“I couldn’t be anymore happier and at ease with the love, attention to detail, and care Alexandra has given my cats the last four days while I was at a trip. Because she has babies of her own (cats) she understands the level of cat mom I am (I left notes everywhere, labeled things, and she was willing to come twice to go over everything again). She took pictures, sent me videos, and was able to engage in the daily routines (breakfast kibble hunting, playtime, and kitty bedtime routine). Despite one of my cats throwing up on a bedsheet, she didn’t have a problem cleaning it up(I felt awful it happened). This same cat is normally shy and is weary of strangers so it was a huge deal that my cat (Mia) trust Alexandra to where she’s wanted shoulder rides, wants to be hand fed, let alone asking for affection. I think we found our furrever babysitter 🙏🏻😭😍can’t thank you enough Alexandra for EVERYTHING!”

“Vivian was super reliable, a pleasure to work with and did a fantastic job with our fiesty rover! She also looked after our property well, gave medications as instructed and scheduled, and took exceptional care of our pet. She was available to chat when messaged and sent great photos too! Definitely will use her services in the near future!”
“Adam helped me with last minute sitting for my pups. He did everything I asked, and even repeated the instructions to me so that I knew he understood. He arrived early and is a very good communicator. I'm always a little nervous with a new sitter, but Adam played with and snuggled them and they were happy campers when I arrived back home. I will definitely be asking Adam for more help in the future!”
About: I’m a retired medic and have training and experience in animal care, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, birds, fish, some small reptiles, mice and rats. I’ve got you! I’m a non-smoker and married so not looking to party. I will love your home and babies and I am very responsible. Please reach out I’d love to help if I can. I’m retired but I do go to school our last day is the 22nd of May. I will be available after June 10th. Until at least August 1st and then during our school breaks. I generally care for animals in their home. I am flexible, I only prefer to come to your home because it’s easier on your pets. I will not bring my own pets unless requested. I understand the value of a safe and soothing environment.
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, and ferrets. I’m comfortable with a wide range of temperaments and needs, and I have experience administering prescription medications to both dogs and cats. I am currently a part-time remote student, so my schedule is pretty flexible! This allows me to easily accommodate pet care needs throughout the day, whether that’s drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or administering medications. I’m able to provide consistent companionship and care, especially for pets who need a little extra attention or have specific routines. I’m also available during weekdays, evenings, and weekends, which helps me adapt to each pet’s unique schedule. I tailor my care based on each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs—whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours. In Your Home: I do my best to maintain your pet’s normal routine to help them feel secure and relaxed while you're away. This includes feeding, walking, playtime, litter box or potty breaks, medication (if needed), and of course, lots of attention and affection! I also make sure your home stays tidy and your pet feels safe and loved in their familiar environment. In My Home (if applicable): My home is a calm, pet-friendly space where your furry friend can feel comfortable and cared for. I keep a clean, safe environment and follow your instructions closely when it comes to food, exercise, crate time, or special needs. I limit the number of pets I take at once to ensure each one gets plenty of one-on-one time and care. No matter the setting, I treat every pet like they’re part of the family—with patience, love, and attention to detail.
About: Hey guys! My name is Anna and I've been raised around animals my whole life. From a young age I was raised around dogs, cats, and horses. The love I experienced for all these animals only grew in size as I became an adult. In highschool I had an Akita mix that I would often care for while my parents traveled and the best cat that has traveled the United States with me. The love I have for my own fur babies I promise to show to your four legged friends too! I work in digital marketing and am in the process of getting my real estate license. In my spare time I love to be active which is why dog walking became a wonderful side hustle to invest my time in. I will spend as much time as I can with your fur babies, giving them the same love and attention I would expect for my own cats and dogs.
“We had such a wonderful experience with Justin! His communication was top notch, and his love and care for our fur babies was evident. He prioritized their exercise and was the best pet sitting experience we have had! 11/10!”
About: Hi! My name is Kenya, I’ve always loved and cared for animals every since I was a kid! I’m good at reading body language and respecting the boundaries of animals as well so your pet will be comfortable and relaxed in my care. I love being outdoors and staying active so I can ensure your fur baby will have a safe and fun time with me! I am very flexible with getting in the routine of things. I am available throughout the week for drop ins and walks from morning to early evening! My schedule is usually pretty open so if there is care you need outside of my displayed availability feel free to reach out and I would be happy to check if I can accommodate. Let’s chat! If a pet is in my care at my own home I always take extra precaution to make sure gates are closed, objects are clear of walkways, and human food is put away so your pet is safe on my watch. I have a fenced in backyard that is a pretty decent size. I have a kennel with a nice dog bed big enough for most pets to ensure your fur baby is comfortable in my care.
About: I’ve taken care of pets since my childhood! Not only dogs, but also helping with goats, chickens, and pigs! I grew up with multiple dogs at home, and helping neighbors and friends take care of their dogs when they go on a vacation or just need me to take their dog for a walk or feed them dinner. I’ve had experience with dogs who need medication and have strict schedules as well. I also have experience cat sitting. I work from home as a tele-health speech language pathologist. I work from 10-5 Monday-Thursday, and 8-2:30 on Fridays. I am open to dog walking and house/pet sitting. I grew up having 2 dogs, so I am comfortable watching more than 1. Since I work from home, I can be home with the dogs all day and take them out on my breaks, and of course before/after work hours.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was a kid and currently have a one and a half year old German shepherd dog named Jack. I’ve trained him with professional industries in person so I’ve picked up many skills and have great understanding on dog behavior. I love my dog and treat him as family and will also do the same for yours! I have a regular 8-5 job and am available to board in my home all week. Very flexible and available! I do live 2 minutes from where I work so dropping in during my work is very easy and I do have two hour lunches from 11 am to 1pm. I have a two story home with a super friendly German shepherd dog named Jack. I own two XL impact crates for the safety of my dog and your dogs when crated. I take dogs I board on walks in the morning, afternoon, and evenings. Depending on the dog I have a huge dog park down the road from where I live where I can take them to play and run off leash. I have a pet friendly home where dogs can be on couches and all areas of the home for their comfort!
About: Hi, I’m Brandon! I’ve cared for dogs for 10+ years, from energetic puppies to senior dogs. I live in Oceanside near the beach and love giving dogs long walks and plenty of playtime. I treat every pet like my own and always send picture updates so you feel at ease while you’re away I work a flexible schedule and am available most afternoons, evenings, and weekends, which makes caring for pets a natural part of my daily routine. After 3 p.m., I dedicate my time to dog walks, drop in visits, and giving each pup plenty of attention, exercise, and care. Living in Oceanside, I love taking dogs on safe neighborhood walks or enjoying beachside strolls for extra fun and fresh air. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine as closely as possible to keep pets happy and comfortable. I make sure they have fresh water, timely meals, and plenty of exercise during each visit. I give lots of love and attention, send photo updates, and make sure your home is secure before I leave. My goal is to make your pets feel safe and cared for, and to give you peace of mind while you’re away.
“Chelsea was great with my pets, and sent me photos and updates throughout the day and it was a great first experience with using Rover for the first time, will definitely be using her again!! Thank you Chelsea”

I recommend using his services without hesitation and will definitely be reaching out to him again for future dog day care!”
Brandon R.
“Brandon has been walking my big dog every morning, and I couldn’t be happier with the care and consistency he provides. He always arrives on time, greets my pup with genuine enthusiasm, and makes sure she gets a good mix of exercise and sniffing adventures. My dog can be reactive with other dogs, and Brandon handles those situations calmly and confidently, keeping her safe and relaxed when passing others. I also appreciate the detailed updates after each walk sharing her mood, route, and little moments from their time together. It gives me complete peace of mind knowing she’s in such capable and caring hands.”

Anna took good care of our older cat while we were away. Our cat took to Anna quickly and even snuggled with her, which made us feel so relieved knowing he was comfortable. Anna kept up with our cat's five daily meals, including loading an automatic feeder for an overnight meal (our cat eats wet food due to having many teeth extracted). She kept the litter box spotless and even took the time to replenish our hummingbird feeder, which the birds great appreciated. We received daily updates with photos of our happy cat which made us feel at ease. Anna also picked up our packages from the front door for us. We returned to a home as clean as we left it and our cat very relaxed and content, which is a reflection of the care Anna gave him. We would hire Anna again for future trips.
Chelsea is an absolutely amazing caretaker. Above and beyond. I loved knowing my pets were in the best of hands, and her cute photo updates were the cherry on top. What was even better was seeing how happy the animals were to see her again! Waggings tails and smiling faces all around. Thanks so much!
Our 200 lb English Mastiff loves Selina! She was so tender and loving with our big brut! Take advantage of her special skill and knowledge of animals (she’s got a very cool background with animals, ask her about it!) Her comfort with a huge guard dog was reassuring. Shes a wonderful person too. Absolutely will book again.
Elisa is just the best! We have used her multiple times for walks and house sits. Each time, we have been so impressed with her professionalism, communication skills, and most importantly the great care she provides for our young dog Driggs. Elisa sends tons of photos which is so appreciated while we are away (and in each photo Driggs is grinning ear to ear). It’s such a relief to have found someone who puts our minds at ease while traveling by ensuring Driggs is in great hands. Elisa always leaves the house spotless upon our return as well. Thank you Elisa!
Taegan was an incredible sitter! My dogs loved her, and she treated them like they were her own. She was flexible when my trip got extended, which was so helpful during a stressful trip. Taegan sent me photos of my happy dogs throughout her stay, and it was obvious they were happy and well taken care of. When I returned, the house was immaculate and towels and sheets washed. I hope to use her again!
Christina was fantastic with our Karma! Her love of animals and experience as a caregiver was evident from our meet and greet. I had complete trust that Karma was in good hands! Karma requires a lot of special attention and medication administration as a blind/diabetic pup, which Christina provided so competently! We loved the many frame-worthy pics she shared of Karma over the sitting, and the way she connected with our sweet girl. We are absolutely working with Christina again! Thank you Christina!!!
Were we pleased with Roshanda? Overjoyed! It's obvious that she takes pet sitting very seriously and our two pups received excellent care. Communication was excellent, pictures were very nice to have, and being confident that the girls were in good hands was absolutely priceless. And unless I'm mistaken, our house was tidier than when we left it! I recommend Roshanda whole-heartedly for those looking for a solid, dependable sitter who is also super nice. Thanks Roshanda!
This was our first experience with pet/house sitting and it exceeded all expectations. Watching the interaction between Seth and Riley Jo (our Silky Terrier) showed what a great bond they had developed. Seth sent us updates and pictures during our 15 day trip and left our home in pristine condition. We highly recommended Seth and the care he gives.
Estella was wonderful with our cat and golden retriever while we were on vacation. Our cat was snuggled on her lap and our dog snuggled beside her before the first day was through. She also house-sat for us while caring for our fur-babies. She watered plants, left the house clean and even washed the bedsheets before she left. When an issue came up, she was communicative and resourceful in resolving it. She even left us a surprise treat! We will definitely be calling Estella again when we travel. I highly recommend her!
Kyanna was great with our Golden (Rikki) and Pug(Lilly). We met with her a few weeks in advance just to get acquainted and when the day came for her to take over she was right on time and also contacted us a few days before to confirm. She sent us pictures and updates over the 3 days and we never had a worry. Rikki and Lilly told us how great she was and that they already miss her. If we have need in the we will certainly not hesitate to try to get Kyanna again.
Sam was absolutely amazing! One of our dogs can be weird with new people, but he warmed up to her so well she was sending us photos of them cuddled up! We were able to go away for a week without worrying about the dogs which was amazing. We will definitely book with her in the future and recommend her highly to anyone considering her! :)
Emilee is the sweetest sitter. I’ve never had a house sitter before, but she made the process so easy. She kept me updated with Pancake everyday and gave him all the love I couldn’t while I was away. She kept everything nice and tidy, and followed directions to a T! I will be using her again for sure :)
Frankie has been great in every way! She is reliable, has good communication, sends updates and pictures of the cats. She took great care of my cats and they obviously loved her and trusted her right away! I will definitely have her back to pet sit for us in the future!
