“Rebekah has been very reliable when caring for my dog Boba. She sends me updates with pictures and lets me know how Boba is doing. I can tell she really loves spending time with animals by how she cares for my Boba.”
“I’m selective about who I trust with my 4 year old husky Mikka, and I had no worries at all having Lacey drop in and walk her when we were out for a long day. Would definitely recommend!!”
“Mitchell was awesome! Totally attentive to the needs of my older dog who is normally quite shy around males. We received up to the minute updates, which was much appreciated due to our dog having a recent change in health status. We returned home to a very happy pup as well as the peace of mind that he was well taken care of care of. Highly recommend.”
“Emily is a great catsitter & my cat was very comfortable with her. Emily took care every detail and was communicative with updates, photos, and even a video. My kitty is in good hands with Emily!”
About: We are lifelong animal lovers with hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. We lovingly raised two dogs throughout their full lives, providing daily care, attention, and companionship. We also have experience caring for cats and understand their unique personalities and needs. Our home provides a safe, calm, and loving environment. We have a spacious, secure yard where dogs can run, play, and enjoy fresh air freely. Inside, pets are treated like family and given plenty of attention, comfort, and care. We are attentive to each pet’s routine, emotional well-being, and individual needs. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always our top priority. We have a flexible daily routine that allows us to provide consistent care, attention, and companionship throughout the day. Pets will have regular feeding times, outdoor play, and supervised indoor rest so they feel comfortable and secure. We live near large, pet-friendly parks and ensure dogs receive regular walks, exercise, and fresh air. On weekends, if permitted by the owner, we are happy to take dogs on short walks or light hikes so they can enjoy safe outdoor exploration. We are available for boarding on weekdays and weekends and will follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. We provide a safe, clean, and loving home where pets are treated like family. Our home includes a spacious yard where dogs can run and play safely under supervision. We carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, routines, and special needs. Pets are always supervised, and their comfort, safety, and emotional well-being are our top priority. We are attentive, responsible, and committed to creating a calm and secure environment where your pet can feel relaxed, happy, and cared for. We will also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and connected while your pet is staying with us.
About: I have taken care of pets my whole life. Growing up, I had four cats, and still do cat-care on weekends. I have more recently pet-sat for dogs, and taken both smaller and larger dogs on walks (from a Shih-Poo to a Bernese Mountain Dog). I will take care of your fur baby like I would take care of my own. I just graduated college, so I can spend the majority of my week walking and pet-sitting for all of your needs. Although I am set to one-day book at the earliest, I am open to same-day inquiries if needed. I have a fenced yard, and your fur baby would be allowed on beds, the couch, and will have a lot of room to run around inside and be taken for walks.
“Megan is awesome with our cats! We have 2 cats, 1 of which is a really shy and skittish cat, and Megan is very patient and genuinely cares for them. We accidentally left our skittish cat locked in the balcony (Yikes!!!) and Megan made sure to locate her and not just brush aside her absence as 'shy and hiding away'. We are so grateful to Megan for helping us. 10/10 recommend her service!!!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I've been caring for dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. Our 5 children have grown and living on their own, so I currently have my sweet 2 dogs, Chica & Luna, who keep life fun, active, and full of love. In addition to my experience with pets, I've taught preschool and first grade, where safety, patience, and attentive care were always top priorities. I offer dog walks, drop-in visits, house sitting (no overnights), and can comfortably administer oral medications when needed. I truly enjoy caring for pets of all personalities, whether they're social and energetic, calm and relaxed, or a little nervous and shy. With a gentle demeanor and a strong understanding of animal body language, I take the time to build trust and help every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. During my first year of retirement, pet care fits naturally into my flexible schedule, allowing me to provide reliable, attentive care all day (no overnights). I provide attentive care for pets in their own home, helping maintain their normal routine, comfort, and security. I can assist with feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, oral medications, and keeping pets happy and relaxed while their owners are away.
About: I have always been around dogs and am comfortable helping dogs of any age, size, and need. Working as a veterinary assistant and earning a degree in animal science has helped me build a strong connection to caring for dogs. I am very comfortable with pets that need an extra level of medical care. I work full time 4 days a week and have a bit of a long commute (I will likely be out of the house 6:00 AM - 7:30 PM Mondays - Wednesdays and Fridays for work). My weekends tend to be more free, though most days I can provide care in the evenings or very early mornings. I am happy to stay in pets’ homes to provide overnight care and housesitting. I can easily get into the pets’ routines and provide other house care as needed.
“Alison took great ate of our pets, she asked a lot of questions during our initial meeting to ensure she understood their habits and preferences. She went above and beyond and communicated with us throughout the entire trip, which gave us peace of mind. We already rebooked her :)”
About: Hi! My name is Fiona, and I provide loving family-style dog boarding and daycare in our home. Our home is a spacious 3,800 sq ft house with a fully fenced backyard, giving dogs plenty of room to explore, relax, and play safely throughout the day. Dogs staying with us are treated like part of the family and are welcome on the couch, beds, and furniture if that’s what they are used to at home. I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs, and our whole family loves having dogs around. We also have two children who grew up around dogs and are very comfortable interacting with them. They understand how to respect dogs’ space and behavior and enjoy playing with them. During their stay, I send daily updates with photos and videos so you can see how your dog is doing and feel connected while you’re away. Because I focus on providing a calm and comfortable home environment, I usually host only a small number of dogs at a time to make sure every dog receives plenty of care and attention. Your dog will never be lonely in our home. My husband works from home and I also have a very flexible schedule, so there is almost always someone around. Dogs staying with us receive plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. Because someone is usually home, we are able to closely supervise the dogs and make sure they feel comfortable and relaxed. I can also administer oral medications if needed. Safety is always our top priority. Our backyard is fully fenced and secure, allowing dogs to safely explore and play under supervision. We carefully introduce dogs to each other and always monitor interactions to ensure everyone feels comfortable. We also follow each dog’s feeding routine and any special care instructions provided by the owner. If needed, I can also administer oral medications.
About: With over 13 years of pet care experience—including a decade dedicated specifically to dogs—caring for animals is both my passion and my calling. I raised my own rescue, a friendly Labrador/Pitbull mix, from the time he was a tiny four-week-old pup, so I deeply understand the level of patience, tenderness, and attentiveness every dog deserves. I offer attentive overnight care and day services tailored to your dog’s unique routine. Whether they need frequent potty breaks, invigorating walks, or cozy downtime, I adapt completely to their needs. I'm a student at UCSB. When I am off class, I work part-time with rover. Taking care of your dog would be far from a job for me. Tending to the loving companions dogs are fulfills my day like no other. My neighborhood is surrounded by pet owners so ur dog will have company on his/her walks. Dog sitting at the owners house will also not be a problem, and I'm very reachable on my phone for constant updates.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals since I was a child and the love never ceased. I’ve cared for both dogs and cats. I have extensive experience caring for senior pets who might need a bit more attention. I am currently home from UCSC this summer so have very open availability for providing services. Additionally, I have my own vehicle so there are no time constraints in scheduling. I will be able to crate your pets if needed, but if they prefer a cuddle I will happily oblige! Have a pet with lots of energy? We can do long walls or monitored off leash play if that’s what they are used to !
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities for about 7 years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and check in on their pets. I’m patient, responsible, and comfortable following specific routines, giving lots of attention, and making sure every dog feels safe and cared for while their owner is away! 🐶🐕🦺🦮 I’m currently in college, but I only have class for about an hour early in the day, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to care for pets. I’m available most of the day for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and other pet care needs.💕 I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I always make sure to follow all feeding, walking, medication, and routine instruction's, keep pets supervised, and give them plenty of attention. I also respect each owner’s home and make sure everything is secure before I leave!!🐶
About: - I've taken care of both my dog and partner's cat through health, sickness, old age, and end of life. - As a former biologist, and with a vet technician in the family, I'm experienced and observant when it comes to pet health and behavior. - I'm calm, patient, and put myself in the minds of pets I interact with. Strange humans are big and intimidating to small animals, so I work on building comfort and trust first, and give them space to do so. I'd like to think I haven't met a pet I couldn't befriend yet! I'm self-employed and set my own hours so my schedule is very flexible. My weekday mornings are the most free, while afternoons and evenings can also work. Privacy is important to me, and I'm a neat and tidy person, so if pet sitting in your home I'll stay only in designated areas, mind my own business, and as with camping, leave no trace.
About: Hello!!! My husband and I have had a cat since 2016 and a dog since 2020. My husband is 6’3” and 200 lbs and we’ve both had a ton of experience with our giant chaotic golden, so we are definitely comfortable with big doggos! Additionally, I’ve walked and taken care of my friends’ dogs (of all sizes) periodically over the past decade when they were on vacation. I’m very conscientious of walking a dog in a public environment and prioritizing the pupper’s needs :) I’m available after 6:30pm most weekdays and frequently on weekends. I own a dog and cat myself (their names are Simba and Willis, respectively) and have been taking care of them constantly for many years now. I’m quite familiar with pets in general and nothing would give me a greater joy than getting to spend time with more animals day after day! I will absolutely love your pet :) My husband works from home, and I go into the office 3 times a week. Our house has a fenced backyard and we take our dog out to parks all the time! I have a friendly dog and cat that can keep your furry baby comfortable and happy. I love animals very much and will dote on them lots!
“I was very pleased with the service for Alexa. I would definitely book with them again. I had no worries and a stress free experience. Quick responses, on time and professional.”
“Maya did a great job taking care for our aging cat. She followed all the instructions we left. Even though our cat usually does not like people from outside of family , she befriended Maya and this warms my heart. We are very grateful to Maya.”
About: I grew up in a family that always had pets, taking care of animals since I was eight. I love to play and spend time with dogs who love us infinitely and trust us with all their lives. Hence, I consider it my responsibility to handle our pets with care and make them feel at home. We are a family of three, I'm full-time at home, my husband works from home and have a daughter who's a high schooler. You can count on me to always be there to take care of your fur baby. I am an early bird, so I can easily accommodate early meals for your pet. When I'm watching your pet I don't leave them alone unattended, not even for 1 min :) Following all this, I believe that when you go on a holiday and leave your fur baby with us, they should receive the most luxurious staycation they can and have the best time of their lives... and I'm here to just do that!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pleasanton
Maya was amazing! She took such great care of our fur baby when we were away. When I saw the photos and report I knew right away our cat was in good hands. She made sure he was loved and looked after and left the house clean. Anytime I go out of town, I plan on requesting Maya!
Amy was absolutely fantastic! Domino was well taken care of over the long holiday weekend thanks to Amy. I had complete peace of mind thanks to Amy’s communication, thoughtful and thorough notes, and pictures of my pup throughout the entire time. I will absolutely be booking with Amy again, cannot recommend her enough!
Performed great drop in visits for our two spoiled cats while we had a local trip. Also had last minute request to water some plants in the summer heat. House, cats, and plants were well taken care of during her visit and will use Alysson again in the future.
Anne was great! She took great care of our cat Ciro by playing with him and making sure he had enough food and water, as well as a clean litter box. We really appreciated her communication and her sharing plenty of pictures of Ciro. Anne also took detailed notes during the meet and greet to make sure she had all the details to best care for our cat. Thank you Anne!
Xiaoyu took good care of our dog Archi! She communicated well with us and did a good job of feeding Archi and taking him out for walk. Xiaoyu is personable and during the initial meet and greet, Archi immediately got along with her. :D We look forward to working with her again.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
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 .
