“Bridget was absolutely incredible with our boy! She and her family were so kind and caring, and updated us with lots of photos and videos. Our dog unexpectedly fell sick, and she not only immediately notified us, but took him to the emergency vet within minutes. She felt comfortable caring for him at home and he recovered well with her. Our dog became part of the family with her, and we would not hesitate to ask Bridget to watch him again in the future. She is an absolute gem!”

“Hanah & Dabin were absolutely amazing with my pup! They took her on so many fun adventures and kept me updated with hourly photos, which I really appreciated. It was clear she was having a great time, and she came back home happy and relaxed!”

“Great experience! The sitter was kind, reliable, and very attentive to my dog’s needs. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind. My dog came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I highly recommend her service and will definitely book again!”

“We use Connie when to watch our 2 pups at her house when we are out of town. She does an amazing job and it is obvious how much she loves dogs. They are so well taken care of with lots of attention and walks and she keeps us updated with pictures during their stay. We can enjoy our time away without worries about how the dogs are doing and that means a lot to us. Thank you Connie!!”

“Jesslyn was very attentive and caring to Ella. We appreciated her frequent updates and good communication. We were reassured that Ella was left in great hands.”

About: I had one Abyssinian and Ragdoll cat before, so I know how to take care of those cats. I will do everything that makes the cat comfortable and happy. I am available everyday after 3 pm. I can make special schedule based on your needs. I am flexible during weekends as well. Thank you I have everything needed to provide a safe and cozy environment for cats. I have things like cat litter, brushes, wet foods, cat toys, and air filters.
“Wendi was great with my dog. She took him on walks and made him feel right at home. She was patient with him, followed his medication and dietary needs, and gave him all the snuggles. Thx Wendi!”

About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life and truly enjoy caring for them. Whether it’s playing with an energetic puppy, taking a high-energy dog for a run, or going for a slow, gentle walk with a senior dog, I always adapt to their needs. I feel fortunate to be on Rover, as my flexible hybrid job allows me to dedicate quality time to each pet. My goal is to make every pup feel happy, loved, and completely at ease. Pet care fits into my routine by allowing flexibility around my remote work schedule. On the days I work remotely, I can easily accommodate midday check-ins, walks, or runs for dogs. On weekends, I’m fully available for longer walks, playtime, or extended check-ins, ensuring pets get the attention and exercise they need. As a dog walker and provider of at-home check-ins, I ensure that dogs get regular exercise, bathroom breaks, and playtime according to their individual needs. During check-ins, I make sure they have fresh water, a clean living space, and monitor their well-being. I also send updates to their owners to keep them informed and reassured.
“Victoria watched our dog Betsy for a weekend while we were out of town and everything went smoothly! Betsy was very comfortable and Victoria maintained communication daily to give us updates on her! She followed the schedule provided and took wonderfully care of Betsy!”

“We got really jammed up when the person we were expecting to watch our little pom, Bailey, over TG had a medical emergency. A friend told us about Rover. We signed up and found Liv who saved us. Liv was fast to respond, professional, caring and amazing. She took great care of our little Bailey. Which isn't easy. Bailey is a bit high strung. We could tell Bailey was well cared for. Thanks to Liv and Rover we got to see our family in San Jose. We would work with Liv again. Thanks Liv for helping us out.”


“Katie was AWESOME! My little guy loved her and all of her roommates. She even got him to make a couple doggie friends which was really great. She regularly sent photos and kept me updated on all of his behaviors. I didn’t worry at all during my time away from Archer(my dog). I would highly recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to use her again. Katie really did an amazing job.”

“Nathan, Paula, and their girls took such great care of our dog. Leaving your dog with someone is never easy, but the second we walked into their home we knew this was the perfect place for Korra. They have such a thoughtful setup for the dogs they watch. They took the time to understand Korra’s personality and her needs to figure out how her stay would look like. We received multiple updates every day and could tell that they were treating Korra with the utmost care and affection. Between the long walks and cuddles from the girls, we were sure Korra wouldn’t want to come back. We would 100% book with Nathan & Paula again for the peace of mind of knowing that our pup is well loved and being treated like family.”

“Bennie & Jennie are sooo amazing! Once again, I rebooked them to watch over my cat because of a work trip. They made sure she was well cared for and even celebrated her first birthday with a (cat food) cake and candle 🥹. She's definitely getting more comfortable with their cats so I'm glad she had cat friends to celebrate her birthday. 10/10!”

“Leaving our 8 month old frenchie with Doug was so helpful. It was comforting to receive some photos and videos while we were away. We would definitely book with Doug again!”

About: What sets me apart is the level of patience, attention, and personalized care I give every dog. With over 10 years of experience caring for my own dogs and those of friends and family, I've learned that every pup has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs, including those who are blind or hard of hearing. I'm comfortable adapting my approach to meet each dog's individual needs, whether that means providing a calm environment, sticking to a consistent routine, or offering extra patience and reassurance. I treat every dog as if they were my own, and I understand how important it is for pet parents to feel confident while they're away. That's why I provide reliable communication, regular photo updates, and plenty of love, playtime, and attention so you can have peace of mind knowing your dog is in caring hands. Since I'm not currently working, I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate my time and attention to the pets in my care. This allows me to provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I enjoy building my daily routine around each dog's individual needs, whether they have a high-energy schedule, prefer a slower pace, or need extra patience and attention. My goal is to give every pet a safe, loving environment where they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while their family is away. When your dog stays with me, they'll be treated like part of the family. I provide a safe, loving environment where they'll receive plenty of attention, affection, and exercise throughout the day. I live in an apartment with lots of grassy areas for potty breaks, and I'm right next to the San Diego Creek Trail, which is perfect for walks and getting fresh air. I'll follow your dog's usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, and any special instructions you provide. Dogs are welcome to make themselves at home! They're more than welcome on my couch and can sleep in my bed if that's what they prefer. I love spending quality time with dogs, whether that means going on walks, playing, giving belly rubs and scratches, or cuddling up if they enjoy snuggles. At the same time, I understand that every dog is different, so if your pup prefers their own space, I'll always respect their boundaries and let them relax at their own pace. My goal is to make your dog feel comfortable, loved, and at home while giving you peace of mind that they're receiving the same care and affection I'd give my own pet.
“Thavery was really great taking care of our Teddy over the weekend. We did a meet and greet to ensure our dogs were good with each other and to also meet with Thavery as well. She was understanding of our separation anxiety with our 3rd baby, and she made us feel at ease knowing she would take good care of our Teddy. Since she is a dog owner as well, she knows how much love we give and receive from our fur babies, and how they really are our family. She kept us updated several times per day with pictures and videos, and that was wonderful to see. I would recommend Thavery for sure for anyone who is looking for a dog sitter and we will use her next time as well. Thank you again Thavery!”

Lily was professional and personable! She communicated often about my two dogs and put me at ease while being away from them, taking them on walks, to the dog park, and sending photo updates each day. I can’t say enough about her care, I will be a returning customer!

My pup had an incredible stay with Kristina!! Kristina was the absolute best! She took such great care of my Playa and kept me updated throughout the stay. Playa can be finicky with food and going on walks, but she was completely comfortable with Kristina, and loved playing with Kaya. I highly recommend Kristina and will definitely book with her again.

Katie was so amazing at taking care of my baby Vader. This was my first time having a pet sitter take care of my dog and it went amazing. Katie and her partner really care about dogs and making them feel comfortable and at home. Their dog Coupon is also a sweet dog that Vader was easily able to get along with and have a friend. I was also sent pictures of Vader everyday, it was very comforting to see cute photos of him while away. Vader seemed to have a vacation as well, I can tell he had lots of fun and attention. Thank you Katie!!

Deborah was wonderful with our dog, Benji! This was our first time having Deborah watch him, and she made the entire experience stress-free. She sent us regular updates and photos throughout our 9-day trip, which gave us great peace of mind. When we picked Benji up, he was happy, relaxed, and it was obvious he had been well cared for. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and will definitely be using Deborah again. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy sitter.

Alexandra was excellent and caring. She communicated daily with me about how my baby was doing and asked me questions if she had any concerns. She also sent me pictures and video of my baby daily . I could see that he was safe and having a great time with her family. I will definitely rebook with Alexandra in the future

I am so happy that I found Laura through Rover - she was an excellent sitter. It's clear she loves dogs and she loved my dog too. She sent lots of pix and videos and I really appreciated that - as well as the pickup and deliver service. My dog had so much fun there! Thank you SO much! I won't hesitate to use Laura again!

Nicole provided great boarding service for our 90 lbs pit bull! She made our dog feel right at home during his day. She was attentive, kind to our dog and was proactive on sending us updates. She gave us peace of mind when our dog was not with us and made the process very simple. Nicole was also very easy to communicate with and overall provided the best care for our dog. Highly recommend!

We took Teddy, our 14 month old Shepherd-mix rescue, to stay with Natalie during our trip to Newport Coast. It was an amazing experience for us all, as Natalie took great care of Teddy with plenty of walks at the park right next to her house! She provided morning and evening updates with plenty of photos as well, and was most accommodating as we “borrowed Teddy” for some daily family fun! Most importantly, as new pet owners, we were comforted in seeing how much Teddy loves Natalie, leaping through her front door upon return from our six day trips. We look forward to using Rover to hopefully have Natalie watch Teddy again next summer! ☺️

Kona had a fantastic time with Ryan, Marianna, and Remy - she was completely spoiled. We had many photo updates daily over our trip and could tell she was enjoying her stay. She loved playing with Remy and got outside for a lot of walks. She can’t wait to go back for another visit!
