1. Arica H.
“Absolutely fantastic! Our experience with Arica as a dog sitter and house sitter was beyond compare. Not only did they take exceptional care of our beloved furry friend, but she also ensured our home was in great condition upon our return. Her attention to detail, reliability, and genuine love for animals truly set them apart. We couldn't have asked for a better caretaker and highly recommend their services to anyone in need of top-notch pet and house sitting!”
2. Lisa F.
“So thankful you were able to cover us last minute and with both prepared. Really helped us to relax and have a good night. Came home to a happy and calm puppy. Very communicative, on time and went above and beyond to take care of our fur kid. Thank you”

“Aidyn was fantastic! She was on time and communicated well. House was well kept, dogs were given meds on schedule and she sent regular updates. Will definitely have her back!”
6. Ayman S.
“I had Ayman watch my senior cat for a week when I was on vacation out of state. I had no issues, and no emergency calls about my cat. Ayman is very dependable and reliable. She always makes sure to clarify any behavioral issues with the cat that she needs to be aware of. I’ll be going to her when I go on vacation again.”
7. Samantha R.
“Samantha was great with our dogs, Kili and weasel! Our pup-watching plans fell-through and Samantha was the biggest help and very understanding. She was very communicative and sent photos, which was really appreciated.”

“We’ve hired Jess many times and will continue to do so! Absolutely excellent care of dogs, house, amazing communication, trustworthy and reliable.”
9. Masumeh G.
“Amazing pet sitter!!! Such a lovely person and took amazing care of my kitties. I have two cats, one new one and they aren’t getting a long so we have to keep them separate for now. We have such a complicated set up of making sure they are kept separate at all times except meeting times and she did such a great job! She was so incredibly understanding of any concern I had with my cats and anything I would ask of her. I am a helicopter cat mom so I was paranoid as heck about the cats slipping past barriers and fighting while we were gone but she went above and beyond for my babies and always fed them on the dot. She gave them each equal play time and love and attention and I appreciate that so so much. It’s hard to split time between them as one person so I was more than thrilled that they both seemed pretty happy when I got back. She also cleaned up nicely and everything was folded when we got back. Can’t recommend her enough, I will be booking again in the future for my babies <3”
10. Sean L.
About: I have owned a cocker spaniel all my life until he passed, currently own another cocker spaniel named felix and he’s a cocker rescue from South Korea. I am a currently a college student business major at UC Riverside and I am in need of some extra cash, I would be beyond grateful if you trusted me to care for your dog ! I currently work a job where I work weekends and Thursdays. My availability will be updated so please refer to the schedule there. Pet care comes second nature to me and I treat it like I would be checking up on any other friend. I am a natural when it comes to meeting new pets and I enjoy spending time with animals because it’s my form of therapy. Along with my mother, I spend time helping her by cleaning Felix’s paws after he goes out after walks. I feed Felix food with organic kibble bedded on the bottom usually topped with wet food, bananas, or lamb or chicken to give him all the nutrients to help his stool. When we first got felix from the rescue kennel, his stool was very watery so this did the trick to getting him back to healthy standards. Felix is a happy healthy cocker spaniel rescue.
11. Jennifer K.
“Jennifer was so great and understanding with my pets! My larger dog can be a bit of a handful for some people, but Jennifer was so patient with him and he seemed much more relaxed than I'd ever seen him when we returned from our vacation. She communicated and sent photos the whole time so I didn't have to worry about my fur babies for a second. It's always hard to leave pets behind when on vacation, but Jennifer made it a great experience!”
12. Angellee S.
“Angellee did a wonderful job house sitting and looking after Ollie. Kept us updated on Ollie’s activities each day with lots of cute pictures.”
13. Douglas M.
“Douglas is a wonderful pet sitter. He shows love and compassion for all animals. Douglas is reliable, knowledgeable, and devoted as a pet sitter. My dogs love being around Douglas and he is very sweet and patient with my dog who has special health issues. I always know my babies are safe when Douglas is sitting them.”
14. Kristine L.
“Kristine was so respectful of our home and kept it as clean as I left it for her when we had her house sit and keep my dog company. She gave me photo updates as frequently as I had asked. Everything went smoothly and perfectly. I will happily book her again the next time we need a pet sitter.”
15. Fernando B.
“I recently had the pleasure of hiring Fernando for home pet sitting my two dogs, and I couldn't be more satisfied with his service. From the moment he arrived, it was clear that Fernando has a genuine love for animals and a professional approach to pet care. Fernando was incredibly attentive to their needs, ensuring they were fed, walked, and given plenty of playtime and affection. He sent regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. The house was also well-maintained, and everything was in perfect order when I returned. I highly recommend Fernando for anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. His dedication and love for animals truly set him apart. Thank you, Fernando, for taking such wonderful care of my furry family members!”

20. April S.
“April is truly amazing. I needed her to watch my senior dog Lucy while I was working. April was so flexible with my schedule and even picked Lucy up and took her home for me. Lucy loved her time with April! I intend to use April for all future Rover services. She is the best! You will not be disappointed with her.”
