House Sitting in Pocket, Sacramento

“Wonderful! Dustin sent photos every day, followed lots of instructions, left my old, high-maintenance, pups in great condition upon my return, and was considerate and conscientious- leaving my house better than he found it. I would be delighted to have Dustin house and dogsit for me again. He’s the best!”

“Gilbert is great with Juanita! Looking forward to him staying with her more!”

“Olivia was so wonderful with our three girls. We have some special needs with some of them, and she was attentive, communicative and followed up. We also loved getting the pictures of them while we were away. I will be sure to book her again! Thank you, Olivia, for taking great care of our babies!”

“Lance was wonderful with our 2 dogs while we were away on vacation. He was very diligent on sending us updates on how our dogs were doing. He is very trustworthy and gave us great piece of mind while on our trip that we didn’t have to worry about the dogs back home. Thanks again, Lance!”

“Angalee is a great option if you want a pet sitter who cares and is responsible. All the feedings and medications will be given as specified and your pet will be loved during the time spent with her. Walks, exercise and fun will be provided and your pet will be happy. I love having my pets taken care of by Angalee!”

“Super easy to communicate with despite being across the country. Easy transitions and mature frequency of drop-in care. Very capable of handling a big dog! A+ experience”

“Elijah is a very responsible and loving pet caregiver. Elijah is very loving and patient with pets. He has great mannerisms with discipline and training of dogs. Elijah is responsible and will take very good care of your pets.”

“Wow! Mooney is fantastic! I think our dog Frankie might prefer Mooney to us at this rate 😂 Mooney did such a fantastic job taking care of our dog and home. He is reliable and his communication is top notch. And most importantly, you can tell he really cares about your pet. We will absolutely use him again for future pet/home sitting.”

“This was my second time having Alyssa watch my dog and it was fantastic! I was gone for an entire week and without her I’m sure his separation anxiety would’ve been pretty bad. She took him for walks and adventures daily, always sent updates and photos of their activities, and when she dropped him at my house, he was so sad to see her go that he pawed at the door because he missed her! Seriously recommend Alyssa!”

“We spent a couple of nights away from home and as usual Kristen gave us the piece of mind that we are used to when our fur babies are under her care. We received photo and written updates, and came home to a perfectly clean house and happy dogs. Kristen is trustworthy and great with our dogs. Highly recommended. Thank you as always.”

“Grace was a great housesitter and catsitter for our 2 year old cat, Bea. She was punctual, sent regular updates, and was easy to reach by text. We were comforted in knowing that Grace was staying overnight and keeping Bea company/making sure she was well-taken care of. The house was left clean and tidy. We would definitely book Grace again for future needs.”

“Paige is such a kind hearted and trust worthy person. She is a hard worker and is easy to communicate with. Paige has a strong love for animals and always dependable. I’ve personally trusted her with taking care of my two cats and I would highly recommend her to anyone!”

“Amanda's love for animals shows in her kind, caring and gentle ways. All animals love her. You will be happy and comfortable with Amanda's service.”

“Aaron, as usual, took great care of Atlas to the point that he got Atlas to eat when he wouldn't eat for us! 😁”

“Dear Rover, I’m so excited to tell you about my dogwalker-turned-friend Natalie Abbey. Since she was a former vet tech at my dog’s doctor’s office… that gave me the confidence to try her out as a dogwalker more than eight years ago. I’ve trusted her with five different animals during that time and she’s been amazing with all of them. They just love her. If she ever notices a health problem or other issue, she’s always quick to tell me and offer a potential solution. She’s made great recommendations for which clinic to take one of my fur babies to when there’s an emergency…. and she’s always spot on. She’s taken one of my animals to an appointment for me… until I could get off work, get there and finish the visit so they didn’t miss out on prompt care. She also agreed to come with me to the vet the only time I‘ve had to put a pet down. I was a wreck when Max died…. and she was right there. Since she’s coming into my house every day Natalie has also been my back up so I don’t burn it down… double checking that I’ve turned off my clothes or curling irons on days when I think I’ve forgotten. I work in TV News so the nature of a ‘regular’ schedule can change on a dime. She always adjusts and easily changes her walk times - even given the short notice I get that my schedule’s shifting. Morning show or late news… doesn’t matter. Same with vacations. I just got stuck in New York this week with a ridiculous number of delays and cancellations preventing thousands of flights from taking off as planned. She did extra feedings and walks ‘til I could make it home. Over these years I’ve watched her find love, become a mom and I’ve cheered for her every step of the way. I definitely consider her a member of my family and I’m cheering for her to become a member of the Rover family. Sonseeahray Tonsall”

“Lyn did an amazing job. I've used Rover.com multiple times and I felt her updates and photos were absolutely the best I've ever received. She took fantastic care of my home and gave special attention to my two Goldendoodles. I returned home to very happy dogs which made me feel really good. I actually think Ruby and Alfie miss her. Thanks, Lyn, for everything. I really appreciate everything you did while I was away. I will definitely request you again in the future.”

“TL;DR: We are very pleased with our booking. The boys really seemed to love Vanessa from the initial meetings. She updated us through a daily activity log with photos, which was very considerate and thoughtful. We'll definitely book again! ___________________ From the initial meeting at the park to the final day, Vanessa was attentive and friendly with our two boys. We usually do two initial meetings: One at a park for our dogs to get to know their sitters in a neutral space (our dogs are territorial of their home), and then again at home for a tour and a second meet-up. At the second meetup, the dogs jumped on her to say hello, which was a great sign and spoke volumes about the vibe Vanessa had given at the park—which was a good one! Zeus, especially, rarely ever gives strangers a happy "hello" at the door, FYI. During our trip, Vanessa put together a detailed activity log for the boys (they need medicine and constant potty breaks for their conditions), which was thoughtful and a really sweet treat for us since we missed them a lot. She also wrote down when medication was given and reassured me there were no issues administrating (my boys are usually really great with their medicine, but it's always great to know there were no issues). The boys loved her company so much that they wanted to sleep next to her in the guest room instead of their beds, which is so sweet (per the activity log). She also brought them extra blankets to make them much more comfortable. We returned to our house just as we left it and greatly appreciated it (we've had bad experiences before). We were also considerate enough to ask if ordering food at home while we were away was okay. You don't get asked that often, and I appreciate it. We know we will definitely book Vanessa again for our next trip; our boys seemed to love her company, and we enjoyed her friendly and thoughtful manner!”

“Anna was wonderful! Our pets and home were well taken care of, and it made our 10 day trip worry free. We would happily have Anna back to pet sit again!”

“Serrah was very patient with my shy dog who has been through some major changes recently. They are now friends! It was my first time using Rover and was nervous about leaving him, but Serrah was wonderful. She was receptive, caring and really made me feel like everything would be ok. It was! Thanks to Serrah. I already plan on booking next week with her.”

“Lisa did a wonderful job watching out two dogs and house sitting for us while we were gone for 5 days. She was very responsive and sent us updates and pictures daily. She was also very clean and left the house in great shape when we came back! We will definitely be using her again for our next trip”
