“Words can never express my gratitude for Trina! After going on a camping trip and unexpectedly being out of range of cell service I had great comfort in knowing my fur child was with her. She went above and beyond to care and help manage while life took sits twists and turns. Highly recommend”
“Dennis did a wonderful job watching my 13 month old Collie puppy. My dog is large and somewhat high energy and needs many miles of walks and Dennis did a wonderful job making sure that he got all of the mental and physical stimulation he needed. I got lots of picture updates, and felt very relaxed while leaving my dog while I was on vacation. Dennis also took great care of my home and was super responsive whenever I had questions. We did one meeting before I booked Dennis for the weekend, and then I booked him for one dog walk session before the Dog Sitting time because he was going to arrive after I had left. He was super open to everything and he reviewed my dog care instructions before I left. I felt like we had really clear really good communication. I’ve used several Rover pet sitters and Dennis is by far the best one that I’ve booked. I cannot recommend him enough! (unless you want him on the same weekend that I do and then I would still recommend him but I call dibs!)”
“Excellent service. Dane has great communication. He updates me everytime he comes and check on the pups. He takes cute pictures of them and spent time with each one, make sure they get all the attention they need. One of my dogs is reactive and difficult to handle, while most people turn him away, Dane makes sure he gets the care that he needs. I’m for sure will be a returning customer.”
“Victoria was the best! She sent pictures daily and was extremely communicative. Our pets were well cared for! We will 100% be asking her to come back next time we are gone.”
“Charlii watched Wes and Margot while we were on vacation. She stayed at our house with the dogs and sent wonderful EOD updates with lots of pictures and notes. We’re excited to have her watch them again soon!”
“This was our second time booking with G’la, and once again, she absolutely knocked it out of the park! She took care of our dog Finn and cat Tuna while we were in Mexico for our wedding, and knowing they were with someone they already loved made all the difference. Our boys adore her! It’s clear they feel safe, spoiled, and totally at home in her care. She kept us updated with sweet photos and thoughtful check-ins, and we came home to two very happy pets (and a clean house!). G’la is trustworthy, kind, and just really gets animals. We wouldn’t leave Finn and Tuna with anyone else. Five stars, every time!”
“Meshaal took great care of our 55 lb pup and our cat in our home while we were on vacation! They were thorough in preparing for the job, very communicative while we were away, and followed all of our feeding and exercise instructions. We would definitely have Meshaal sit for us again!”
“She was extremely incredible with our 3 weenies who are still working on potty training! Would 100% use her again. She is super accommodating and kept us updated throughout the week. Finally had a stress free vacation thanks to her!”
“Melina is fantastic! She stayed with my 2 pups, Rudy and Rondo, for 4 days while I was on a business trip. I received multiple pictures and updates that put me at ease during my travels. I am an anxious traveler and I was very comfortable knowing she was taking such good care of my sweet dogs. I highly recommend her for walks, overnight stays and pet care overall. Thank you for everything. ❤️??”
“Elisa was tremendous with our senior shepherd. She was communicative and engaged from the moment we met her and throughout her stay with our dog. Our dog had the best weekend and was so well loved. Elisa was also kind enough to take great care of our place and take in packages. What a great experience and we look forward to working with her again!”
“I had Esteban house sit to look after my big, rambunctious dog Sable for 6 days. Not only did Esteban take amazing care of my dog, he left the house in incredible condition. All my dog’s needs were met, and he sent regular pupdates. I’m a very anxious person and it was my first time using Rover, but Esteban put me at ease and I am so glad I decided to go with him. I would 100% use Esteban again if I ever leave town. I believe it’s safer and easier on my dog than boarding her at a dog hotel. You da man, Esteban!”
About: I’ve been caring for and training dogs for years, and I love helping them feel safe, happy, and understood. One of my earliest challenges was with my parents’ high-energy dog — I successfully trained him not to bolt out the door when it opened 🚪🐕 (no small feat!). That experience taught me the power of patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. 🐶 My Rescue Story I was the sole caregiver for my own rescue dog, who came to me fearful of strangers and unsure around other dogs. Over time, I: • Helped her grow comfortable meeting new people & pups 🤝 • Taught her not to jump on visitors 🙅♀️ • Trained her to “check in” with me before leaving for walks 🚶♀️ • Built her confidence to stay calm when home alone 💤 💛 Why Dogs Love Me Beyond training, I’m experienced with daily walks, feeding, grooming, playtime, and creating a safe, loving environment. I’m skilled at reading dog body language 🐕🦺 so I can keep pups comfortable and stress-free. I’m available on weekends, as well as Mondays and Fridays. I’m also happy to stay over on Monday nights, as long as you don’t need me to stay past 8am the following morning. When I care for pets in your home, I follow your instructions closely to keep their routine consistent. I make sure they have fresh water, regular meals, and plenty of exercise and playtime. I pay close attention to their body language and comfort level, so I can adapt my approach to their needs. I also give lots of affection (if they enjoy it!) and keep their environment clean and safe. You’ll get updates with photos so you know they’re happy and cared for while you’re away.
“Elise came highly recommended by a trusted friend, and she did not disappoint! She was great with my two pit bull mixes, who warmed up to her immediately, and she dealt with their anxiety and other quirks like a true pro. I came home to happy pups and a clean house. Couldn’t ask for better. Would hire again and recommend 10/10.”
“Dea was great with our senior pup and I felt confident that he was in good hands. Dea is easy to communicate with and provided photos and updates. We came home to a happy, sleeping dog and an immaculate house. 10/10!”

Elizabeth S.
“Eliza is my daughter, and I can wholeheartedly say she would be a responsible and loving caregiver for any pet. She grew up with a family dog and later had a dog of her own, both of whom she cared for with deep compassion and attentiveness. Eliza has always had a natural bond with animals—she’s patient, reliable, and truly understands what it means to provide consistent, loving care. Any pet in her hands would be well looked after and genuinely loved.”

Rancho San Antonio pet parents share their Rover experiences
Thank you for taking such great care of Nelly and our house, Jana!! Nelly is a sensitive dog, and Jana was so patient in getting to know her on walks before house sitting her for a week while we visited family. Jana's calm energy put her at ease. Thank you so much, Jana!
Chris is an amazing dog sitter, who I feel completely at ease with leaving Jojo pup with while I'm away. Chris watched Jojo for 7 nights while I was on an international hiking trip with intermittent service. He sends the best photos, takes Jojo for great walks and provides excellent communication during the sit. My house was just as I'd left it upon my return. I look forward to continuing to work with Chris. Thank you!!
Sarah watched my sometimes leash reactive dog for 7 nights while I was away on an international hiking trip with intermittent service. I felt completely at ease while traveling, due to Sarah's professionalism, amazing communication, and the way she clearly connects with and understands Jojo pup. It's such a pleasure to work with Sarah.
This was our first time using Rover. Me and my wife were very nervous entrusting our three dogs, one cat, one parrot, plus our house to somebody we had never met. Dionna came over to our house twice before we left for our one-week vacation. She assured us we were leaving everything in good hands, took lots of notes, and took the time to get to know us and the animals. She stayed at our house during our vacation and sent us pictures and videos of the animals every day, sometimes twice a day. She also took our dogs on walks and played with them in the backyard as the pictures showed. Upon returning to our home, it was obvious all the animals had been taken good care of. The house was also clean and well-kept upon our return. We will now feel comfortable taking more vacations and not hesitate to use Rover and Dionna for any future trips and vacations.
Elisa was great! Very conscientious and comprehensive with her daily updates! She clearly bonded very well with our dog, who seemed to be looking for her when he woke up the next day. The kitchen also seemed to be even cleaner than we left it. We've already booked with Elisa again, and highly recommend her!
We were repeat clients booking Adrianne and couldn’t be happier! Our large and playful dog was well taken care of, with everything happening on time and great communication. Loved getting all the updates and pictures, and we came home to a clean house and happy dog. She clearly also supported the dog training efforts we’re trying to stick to, and was comfortable with a big strong dog for a long weekend. Would recommend & book again!
Alix was so communicative and reliable! Even when I was dealing with flight delays and difficulties scheduling my trip, I felt safe leaving my dog Sam with her. And Sam clearly loves Alix! My dog escaped out my door to try and greet Alix when she returned my keys.
Kerri was truly fantastic. She housesat with our 5 pets - 2 Doodles, 2 cats and a bearded dragon and we couldn’t be happier with her services. She was super communicative, sent pics with the animals who all loved her, and left the house spotless. Will definitely be hiring her again!
We are very happy to have found Lisette to housesit and take care of our new dog, Pony. This was our first trip away after adopting a dog with separation anxiety and some leash reactivity, so we were a bit nervous. Lisette came over for a meet-and-greet and was very calm and comfortable with Pony. On the day of our departure she came over right on time and jumped in with Pony, feeding him and taking him on a walk. She sent pictures twice a day and reassured us that things were going well. She also took great care of our apartment and left it very neat and tidy. We hope we can have her stay again next time.
Marina was fantastic! She watched ellie for a whole wee while we were gone she sent multiple dailey updates with pictures to keep our minds at ease. Ellie is a sr dog who takes awhile to warm up to people but Marina and her were best friends by the end of the stay. I would recommend Marina to anyone knowing full well she will treat your pet as her own! Will definitely be rebooking!
