“Julia was fantastic with Brix! He can be a little anxious around new people, but he warmed right up to her and seemed so happy and comfortable the whole weekend. We loved the updates and photos she sent throughout our trip—it was great knowing he was in such good hands. She also left our house spotless, which we really appreciated. Thanks so much Julia!!”
“Chrystal is awesome! She was so sweet with our senior dog, Charlie, and took such good care of him. She even brought him some homemade treats! She ensured she had plenty of time for our meet and greet, so I'd have a chance to get to know her a little before committing to having her care for Charlie in our home. I really appreciated that. She was very respectful and flexible, and checked in about our return time, to make sure Charlie would have the care he needed if we returned later than expected.”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for friends for years. I’ve learned that pets have different needs and try to keep their routine as normal as possible. I work full time Mon-Fri but would be available to visit and provide care afterwards. I am flexible and available most weekends. Open to overnights. I respect the home I’m visiting and will only access areas that are permitted. I also follow provided instructions to ensure pets don’t get stressed.
“We had a wonderful experience with Michal! She communicated with us throughout the stay, which gave us total peace of mind. Paris absolutely loved her, and it was clear she was in great hands. We’ll definitely be booking Michal again!”
“Cheryl was a wonderful pet sitter. She was very caring to all my pets and my home! I work from home so my pets are used to having someone around. Cheryl gave them the presence and attention they were used to. I highly recommend her.”
About: Hi, my name is Basilia, I also go by Juno. I have grown up around dogs all my life. I have experience house/dog sitting for my friends and neighbors in high-school, and even more experience taking care of my families big dogs. Further, I have some experience taking care of senior dogs, as my late Akita spent nearly 5 years on intensive medication. I love playing with dogs, taking them on walks, going to the dog park, and making life good in the safety of their own homes. I’m a student at Santa Barbara City College, but my flexible schedule allows me to spend plenty of time with your animals! I have at least 2-4 hours a day available to spend playing with, walking, or otherwise taking care of your babies. I prioritize pet safety in my care. I listen carefully to your rules about where the animal is/isn’t allowed to go, and can provide intensive support for your animals. I make sure to spend time building trust with the animal using treats or soothing methods upon meeting them, so that they feel safe and comfortable around me.
“I will be using Grace again! My dog is shy and tends to be depressed when I leave, as he’s a major Velcro boi. Grace was respectful of his space and had a good handle on his insecurities. She only stayed with him for 24 hrs but was on top of communication and his activities. Can’t wait for them to build their bond!”
“Lana was very attentive and easy to work with. Got plenty of pics of my pup having the best time at home and around town! Exactly the kind of care I'd hoped he'd get”
“Nancy was so great! She arrived early and made sure to make Louie feel comfortable with her there before we left for the evening. She sent lots of updates and photos which we really appreciated since it was Louie's first time with a Rover sitter.”
“Hannah was outstanding. Our schedule changed slightly at last moment and Hannah changed her schedule to accommodate and arrive to our home and be with Harley soon after we had to leave. Hannah kept us up to date and posted lots of photos of our beloved Dog Harley as well as all the walks and loving she provided. We came home to Happy puppy and very clean home. Hannah was awesome and we look forward to having her sit with our dog again in the future.”
“Zohe took very good care of our fur baby, with regular updates and photos. She obviously cared about our dog and we felt so much better knowing she was safe and sound while we were out of town. Will definitely have Zohe watch our dog in the future!”
“Capri was amazing with our Pomeranian Sunny! She was available on short notice and took great care of him. She's helpful, kind and detail oriented. He's anxious and she made him feel right at home with her. Our family was able to go on a whale watching adventure because of her help. We highly recommend her. Thank you, Capri!”
“We had a sudden family emergency and needed someone on very short notice to dogsit for our two German Shepherds in our home. Dario stepped in and was truly wonderful. We left him with a long (and honestly complicated) list of instructions... different routines, special feeding details, and one of our dogs had wounds on her paw that needed regular care. Dario handled everything exactly as asked and didn’t seem fazed at all. He took great care of both dogs, kept a close eye on the injured paw, and sent us daily updates and photos. That communication made such a difference. During a really hard week for our family, we didn’t have to worry about the dogs, we knew they were in good hands. We had an unexpected guest and 3rd dog show up a few days in, and he handled that calmly and with a great attitude, even helping the dogs get introduced and used to one another. We’re very grateful and wouldn’t hesitate to book Dario again.”
“Our dogs were well cared for by Mike! When we got home from our trip the pups were happy, the house was clean, and while we were gone his communication was excellent. Will book Mike again!”

Ellie was a godsend! She made Freckle feel so cared for. I really felt that Freck benefitted from her loving attention. Ellie was super communicative and went the extra mile to help me and my kitty stay connected—my babe has had a lot of changes since being rescued and she has a tendency towards UTI symptoms. That said, Ellie cares deeply for animals and I am sure she would give the world to each of them, no matter their needs. Ellie was so caring to Freckle and they formed a sweet connection! Will definitely be requesting her as a sitter for Freck again.
Solomia was absolutely wonderful with Lumi! I felt very comfortable knowing Lumi was in great hands while I was away. She was attentive, communicative, and felt that she treated Lumi like she was her own. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup, which is all you can ask for. I unfortunately had a flight delay on my last day of the trip and Solomia helped out to come back and care for Lumi after her original service time. I would absolutely trust Solomia with Lumi again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving sitter. Thank you, Solomia!
Stefanny is a gem! I feel so lucky to have found her on Rover while visiting Santa Barbara this month. Stefanny took such good care of my kitty while I was away for the weekend. I felt at ease knowing my kitty and home were in caring hands, especially knowing that she is a cat mama herself. Stefanny's energy is very calming and she asked thoughtful questions about my kitty's routine. She sent me daily photos and updates throughout the weekend which was much appreciated. I arrived home to a spotless home and happy kitty. I highly recommend Stefanny!!
We SO enjoyed having Deborah watch our home and take care of our dog. Charlie was genuinely happy when we got home - not just happy that we're home. This isn't always the case when someone new stays, so this is huge. Our house was left in perfect shape, and Deborah was great with communication and updates. We will absolutely look forward to using her again.
Hannah was great with our dog who is very old and has some health problems. We didn’t want to just leave her with anyone. But Hannah has a lot of experience with dogs. She was very sweet and responsive, respectful and our dog liked her! I would definitely use her again.
Mikyla (Kayla) was amazing with our Pomeranian, Sunny. She helped us out on short notice when we went on a long day trip. She came over to meet before which made me feel at ease. Sunny is a dog who needs comfort and someone is attentive. Kayla took notes when we met about Sunny's routine, and on the day of sent lots of updates and cute photos. We were so grateful for her help. Would highly recommend her!
Leo was absolutely incredible with our dog, and we couldn't have asked for a better sitter. He stayed at our house for a week with our 85-pound pit bull, who is the sweetest lovebug but also comes with a lot of... personality. He's incredibly strong, has the energy of a toddler on steroids, loves to jump on people, has no concept of personal space, and struggles with separation anxiety after being a COVID puppy. He's definitely not the easiest dog to care for. Leo handled all of our dog's quirks and special needs with patience, kindness, and confidence. He kept us updated throughout the week with lots of photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind and allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our trip knowing our dog was in such great hands. In the past, we've limited our travel to trips where we could bring our dog because we worried about leaving him with someone else. Finding Leo has been such a huge relief, and it's opened up so many more possibilities for us. We won't hesitate to book him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone who will genuinely care for their pet.
Suzanne was everything you’d want in a dog sitter—a lifetime of experience with animals, including emergency care—she’s responsible, a good communicator, and great with the dogs. I left my home and precious pups without a worry. A good dog sitter has to be about more than your dogs liking them. Suzanne’s background with animals, her wealth of knowledge and decades of experience make her the ideal pet sitter.
CAITLIN is the BEST!! We have two dogs and two bunnies- the bunnies are chill, the dogs not so much. Caitlin however won them over instantly and they ADORE her. I feel so at ease and relaxed when Caitlin is caring for our fur family. She sends lots of pics and truly treats them as if they were her own. The house always looks immaculate when we return. Highly recommend!
Chloe was wonderful with Artimus. She was super communicative the whole time, sent photos throughout, and clearly took great care of him with plenty of walks. She was on time, respectful of the house, and left everything clean. We look forward to booking with her again!
Anela was wonderful with our two dogs. Detail oriented and thoughtful about all of their needs. She followed all of my instructions carefully which involved a lot of medications for one of my dogs. She left everything clean and tidy following a two night stay. She is on the younger side but very responsible. I highly recommend her.
This was my first time hiring Bekah to sit for my dog and she did a great job. I came home to a relaxed border collie which speaks volumes about the care she received. Bekah is communitive, prompt, and respectful. And she left the house clean! I will definitely be using her again.
