“Bethany was FANTASTIC. She took such great care of our home and our Mickey while we were aware. He absolutely adored her and we knew he was in the best hands in her care. We returned home to our house just as we left it (if not better?) and can’t thank her enough. Would definitely recommend and we plan on rebooking in the future.”

“We loved Emilie! Our puppy, Leo quickly took to her and felt comfortable. Emilie is very conscientious and also a great communicator. I felt at ease leaving my baby with her and I’ll definitely be having her dog sit for me in the future. She also left us a cute drawing of him that we saw when we got back!”

“Brooke was incredible. We have three dogs all with unique needs and quirks and Brooke made them feel safe and comforted. She sent awesome photos the whole trip and communicated clearly and so fast, which was much appreciated! Already planning my next booking with Brooke and highly recommend to any pet owner looking for a trustworthy, true animal lover as their sitter!”

“We can’t say enough good things about Alex! He spent the weekend taking care of our crew, including our paralyzed dog Laika who requires special care. Alex approached everything with such a positive attitude and a genuine willingness to learn. He was flexible when our return flight was delayed by several hours, which was a huge relief. He not only took wonderful care of our animals (who clearly loved having him around) but also went above and beyond in looking after our home, leaving it in better shape than when we left. The peace of mind we had knowing both our house and pets were in such capable hands was truly invaluable. We’re so grateful for Alex’s care and commitment, and we would 100% book with him again!”

“Noemi took care of my very energetic 7 mo old and 12 year old labradors while I was away for a week. She was communicative and helpful. Very thankful to come home to two happy pups.”
“Kim is THE BEST! She house sat and took care of our dog Lila (120 lbs) and was beyond what we had hoped for. She sent pictures and updates multiple times every day and our shy girl absolutely loved her. We will absolutely be using her again in the future. Cannot recommend her enough”

About: I’ve taken care of friends and clients pets, feeding and walking them when they are out of town. I give them the attention they need and deserve while their owners are out.

At the client's home, I make sure all the doors and gates are closed. I care for your pets like my own, and I know how important they are to people.
“Bob is a truly dog whisperer and a dog lover! Peanut is very picky and can be really tough sometimes but they quite got a long pretty quick. Highly recommend! I will definitely rebook”

“Ninon was just terrific! She took excellent care of our Maggie, and she sent pictures and provided brief updates which set our mind at ease. We will definitely ask her to dog-sit Maggie again.”

“Lilit was wonderful. She was available at the last minute to housesit our dog, Molly. She easily befriended Molly, and made us all comfortable with her kindness and care. Molly had a great time, and we would highly recommend Lilit.”

Caring for neighborhood pets, nanny family’s pets and friend’s pets. Although I feel comfortable around pets, my approach is always calm, cautious and respectful. I will make sure your furry friend feels comfortable and safe. I am available weekdays in the early afternoon and some weekends. I have a full time job that finishes early in the day and need some extra income and something nice to do in my free time.

My approach is always observant, calm and respectful of the pet’s needs.

“Courtney is an outstanding dog professional, experienced, confident, reliable, honest, on time, and she has the greatest personality. We needed an experienced dog sitter & handler for our dog Chuck to sit for an entire day and evening at our house. Courtney turned out to be the perfect Rover-choice, in full agreement with her great reviews! Chuck is a three year old high energy working line sable German Shepherd police dog. He was born, raised, and trained in Germany. Courtney and Chuck quickly bonded. She quickly learned the few German commands needed for sitting and walking purpose. She also quickly learned about the personality and traits of a dog like Chuck from a write-up summary that we handed over. Courtney kept updating us during her sit, walk, play, and feeding. She also sent us pictures. Chuck clearly fell in love with Courtney. When she left he was whining and he did not want her to leave 😀. Courtney is simply the best of the best!”


About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from newborn puppies to adults. I helped care for my cousin’s six dogs from the time they were born, giving me puppy experience with routines, patience, and consistency I adopted a husky mix and actively follow a training plan that includes potty training, consistent daily walks, and learning extra commands. This has helped me develop strong skills in managing high energy dogs, maintaining routines, and providing both physical and mental stimulation. I’m attentive to proper feeding, food preparation, and allergy awareness, and I always follow each dog’s specific needs. I genuinely love dogs and enjoy their energy whether that means playtime, training reinforcement, or calm companionship. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I currently work part time, which gives me plenty of availability for pet sitting, drop-ins, and walks. I’m flexible with scheduling, and if you need a specific day or time, I’m happy to work with you to accommodate your needs. I prioritize consistency, reliability, and making sure each pet gets the time and attention they deserve. I care for pets based on their individual routines and comfort levels. In my home, pets receive structured feeding schedules, regular potty breaks, consistent walks, and dedicated playtime. If your dog is friendly, I do have a dog of my own who would love a new friend, but I always introduce pets slowly and safely. In a client’s home, I follow your pet’s established routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. My goal is to keep pets comfortable, happy, and stress-free by maintaining familiarity and providing attentive, loving care.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Rancho San Rafael
Brigette was so good with the kitties! She played with the kitties a lot and kept our babies happy while we were out of town. She was as great at communicating everyday to update us on them and how they were adjusting, and when we got home, the cats looked happy to see us but also in a great mood! Would definitely book her again in the future!

Lilit was absolutely amazing, she went above and beyond in taking care of Churro while we were on our Cruise. Lots of walks and loves shared in pictures during the week. I felt 100% confident in have her watch our baby and my home. I would definitely hire her again and highly recommend her if you are looking for someone dependable that will love your pet.

Ruby was awesome with our two fur babies Noah and Miso. She came by to meet us all in advance and our pups took to her right away. She followed our outline for the day to a T and communicated with us throughout our trip and sent cute photos. She is very responsible and also has a very sweet demeanor that the dogs loved. My hubby and I highly recommmend her.

Just came back to a very happy dog and clean home! Corrine/Thorn was a wonderful communicator and took care of Fred excellently (including an outing to a dogs birthday party that Fred loved). We’d be thrilled to have them watch Fred and stay in our home anytime!

Denise took great care of my 2 dogs while I was on Holiday. Her communication was great, she provided plenty of daily pictures and updated. We even had a small incident where one of my pets needed a vet and she went above and beyond to help and take care of the ossue. She was very respectful towards my apartment and left everything in great condition. Would definetly use her again for future needs.

Julianna cared for my two schnauzers in my home for a week. I was so impressed by her care and attention to detail. My dogs can be yappy and excitable and Julianna’s kindness and calming presence enabled them to warm to her quickly. She played with my dogs regularly, provided them with love and attention and quickly became their favorite person! Julianna also thoughtfully inquired about my preference on the cadence of communication and provided me regular updates. This was the first time I had hired a housesitter for my pups, so it was very comforting to hear from her regularly. Further, my home is in an area populated by coyotes, and Julianna followed all of my safety instructions to keep my dogs safe from predators. Beyond the excellent care Julianna provided to my dogs, she also treated my home with incredible respect and left it in better condition than she found it. I trust Julianna with my dogs and my home and will book with her again. If you want someone warm, respectful, and professional you should book with her too. Thank you Julianna!!

We’ve been utilizing Jennifer to housesit and watch our dogs while we’re out of town for years! Between a high energy German Shepard and fragile old Chihuahua mix, she manages to provide for both with ease and lots of love and they seem so happy and at peace when we return. Shes a great communicator and keeps our house looking just like we left it. I highly recommend Jennifer for any and all ages, breeds, needs.
