I have three very picky kitty cats. I set up a meet and greet with Sara knowing full well that all three of the cats would scatter and she might not see them at all that day. Boy was I wrong instead of running two of them came to the door to greet her. The third cat didn't run away and even let Sara come pet her! I think it is safe to say that Sara does have some magic or charm that my kitty cats fell in love with. I felt secure and safe having her taking care of my cats, going above and beyond even. I felt at ease giving her the key to our house knowing everything would be okay. I also love using Rover because that is an extra measure of protection for my home and pets. Thank you Sara and Rover!

Second time's the charm. I really appreciate Brenda's willingness to come out and sit our cats once again. She's very responsible, always sends photos after each appointment, and made sure to inform us any time she changed the water or had to make another purchase fir the cats midway through the period. Will definitely consider her again next time I'm out if town.

About: My name is Melissa. I've grown up with dogs my entire life. I can not imagine my life without a furry companion. Although I typically leave her home when taking care of others, any other time my dog Emma goes everywhere with me! She is very friendly, loves to meet new friends and enjoys playing, as well as traveling. I am here to love and care for your pet while you are away. Whether that be a week, day, or just a couple hours. I promise your pet will be well taken care of to the best of my ability following all of your requests. While walking your pet I can provide gps services for you to track our walks as well as real time potty alerts! My dog absolutely loves it and I know yours will too! Although I do have a part time job away from the home my husband works form home. When boarding, your dog will never be left alone for more than a few hours. When not working I am available for 24/7 supervision. I love to take pictures and will be sure to send you daily updates. Please contact me if you have any other questions. I can't wait to hang out with your best friend! For discount please use: MELISH08579 I am currently working part time, so I will have plenty of time to give your pets all the attention they need. I am used to having a pup around so I am always conscious of time away. I will do all I can to learn your pets routine and do as you would. Their safety is my number 1 concern. I will do everything I can’t to keep their routine as normal as possible.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for nearly my entire life. My responsible instincts and passionate attitude have made me a reliable pet sitter for friends, neighbors, and family. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and backgrounds and I love them all! I know how much our furry friends matter, which is why I always take the owner into consideration when communicating care for your companion. I’m currently working remotely which leaves me plenty of time to care for your critter during the week. I am also available most weekends. I don’t currently have any pets of my own, so I can stay with your pet for as long as you need. I respect all the care instructions of the owner while using my own background knowledge to make up for the rest. I have experience crate training and potty training. I know the importance of routine for dogs which is why I am consistent and thoughtful in my approach, while remaining flexible to the needs of your pet.

About: I started my dog-sitting journey on Rover back in 2017 and had the pleasure of meeting so many wonderful fur babies and their parents. In 2020, I adopted my own pup, Luna - a perfect Chihuahua–Miniature Pinscher–Dachshund mix. I took a break from dog sitting then so I could focus on Luna and her training. It’s been a few years, and now Luna and I are ready to welcome both new and old furry friends again! I also work from home full-time, so your pup will get plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine since I work from home full-time. This allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I structure my day to make sure the dogs in my care are comfortable, supervised, and sticking to their normal routines as much as possible. My dog Luna is also part of the daily routine, so caring for pets—feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddle time—is already a regular part of my day. I do occasionally step out for short periods (usually no longer than 2–4 hours) for workouts or errands, but otherwise I’m home and able to give the dogs lots of attention and care. Your pup’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and loving home environment where dogs are treated like family. Since I work from home full-time, pets in my care receive plenty of supervision, attention, and regular potty breaks throughout the day. I live in a spacious one-bedroom apartment that’s perfect for small dogs. My dog Luna is friendly and will be around for companionship, so I only host dogs who are comfortable with other dogs. For everyone’s safety, I also require that visiting pups are fully potty trained and house trained. I carefully follow each pet’s routine and any instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, medications, and special needs. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and relaxed while your pup is in my care.

About: Hi, my name is Jenelle and I am a Rover Premier Sitter! My childhood was full of many special dogs, and my love for them led me to start dog sitting right after high school. You can trust that I will treat any dogs in my care as my own! As a California girl, I am very active, enjoying hiking and the beach. If they're up to it, any dogs in my care could accompany me on my outdoor adventures. I am very outgoing, meeting new people and making new friends is incredibly fun for me. I am happy to follow your care instructions carefully so your dog will be happy and healthy while you are away. Photo and text updates come standard when you leave your animal with me, so you can see how much fun your pet is having. I understand how hard it is to leave your dog while you go away,but you can rest assured that we will have so much fun! I can't wait to meet you and your dog and I am excited to be a Rover Premier sitter! I work full time M-F 6:30-3. I can do early walks and lots of play time in the evening followed by another walk if needed. I have a fenced yard with artificial turf. I have a cat who is good with dogs. She has grown up with dogs but if your dog is afraid cat is able to stay elsewhere if in home sitting is needed.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all ages, personalities, and needs. I cared for my own dog for 16 years, which gave me hands on experience with everything like daily care and exercise to senior dog care. I’ve also helped raise newborn French Bulldog puppies, so I’m comfortable with young puppies, feeding schedules, monitoring, and providing extra attention and care. In addition, I have experience fostering dogs, which has helped me work with different temperaments and make pets feel safe and comfortable in new environments. I genuinely love animals and treat every dog like they’re my own. My goal is always to make pets feel happy, cared for, and stress-free while their owners are away. I have a full time job but I am free after 5pm and on the weekends! I live a very active lifestyle and love walks! I live in a very secure apartment with a dog park located on the premises and great walking trails nearby! I can crate your dog if needed.

She was professional, communicative, followed our instructions carefully, and even went above and beyond to make sure he felt comfortable while we were away. Jayna is truly part of the family now, and our pup loves seeing her. Thank you for everything, Jayna — you’re the best!

About: In addition to caring for my own lovely cat and senior pup, I have pet sat for friends and family members regularly for the past 10+ years. I have experience with fur babies with a range of quirks, behaviors, and medical needs, so I am prepared for anything that comes my way. I am a graduate student with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to spend caring for critters, especially during the upcoming summer break! I am very careful and safety-conscious, so you can be sure I will leave your home secure and comfortable for your pets when I visit.

About: I can genuinely say that I love all animals! I have grown up with cats my whole life, but I do love dogs just as much!

About: I have been caring for pets for as long as I can remember and have taken an active role in their care from a young age. Over the years, friends and family have frequently trusted me to pet sit for them, giving me experience with a variety of animals and personalities. My experience includes feeding, bathing, walking pets, administering medication, and taking them outside for potty breaks. In my free time, I also foster animals through the San Diego Humane Society, which has strengthened my ability to care for pets with different needs and temperaments. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and love providing them with attention, playtime, companionship, and a safe, caring environment while their owners are away. I go to college here in San Diego and love to spend my extra time caring for pups and pets. I am free most days and can be extremely flexible. I am happy to follow whatever care routine works best for you and your pets to help them feel comfortable and secure in their own home. Whether your pet needs frequent check-ins, extended companionship, or overnight care, I am flexible and willing to accommodate their needs. I love spending quality time with animals and making sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. Above all, your pet’s safety, well-being, and happiness are always my top priorities.

About: I have experience caring for many dogs throughout my entire life from happy healthy puppies to blind and deaf senior dogs. My aunt and uncle love having me as their sitter for their date nights or vacations as they are always fostering 3-5 elderly dogs with a lot of different needs (I give them a voucher for a free pet/house sitting every year as their Christmas gift). I currently am a college student that keeps a flexible schedule, outside of classes I'm around most of the day which means your dog is never sitting alone wondering when someone's coming back. Walks, drop-ins, and house sitting fit naturally into my routine, and I give each visit my full attention. I treat every pet I care for with the same patience and affection I give my own. Whether I'm walking your dog, checking in at your home, or house sitting while you're away, safety and consistency are always my focus. I follow your pet's existing routine from feeding schedules, medications, behavioral cues, the works. I send photo and text updates after every visit so you're never left wondering. Your home is treated with total respect, and your pet is treated like the priority they are.

Lexi was everything I could have hoped for and more! We have never left our two cats with anyone but family, but now have seven chickens in the mix, which is a tall order for anyone. Had she not been so perfect for the job we would have cancelled our vacation because I adore all 9 of our girls! She sent pics, updates, kept us in the loop, and I never for a moment worried about our gang of fur and feathers. She came by twice a day and genuinely loved our pets- you can see it in her eyes in the selfies with our chickens! So grateful we found Rover and most of all Lexi. We’re ready to plan more vacations now lol. Highly recommend her for any and all pet needs.

Karmelita was a true godsend for our two cats. It was great having someone check on the two boys and ensuring they were okay. She provided great photos of them and gave them much needed play. Overall I feel my cats did well under her care, vs the unattended check in my neighbors previously did. I will definitely consider booking Karmelita in the future.
