1. Lindsay R.
“Lindsay was such a good sitter for my little yorkie boy, Monty Banks! Super caring and attentive, making sure he was happy!! I explained that he is ALWAYS with me and may not be very engaging and just miss his mama, but she took him for an awesome walk and kept him busy and he even snuggled a bit. The photos were so cute and made me feel safe, as this is only our second time using Rover…what a great experience!! I was visiting wine country for a girls trip and decided last minute to grab a mud bath…so happy to have someone so special to puppy sit!!!”
2. Mariah J.
“I always feel at ease leaving town, knowing my dogs are in good hands with Mariah and getting lots of love from her son. The updates are so thorough and the dogs look so happy every time I get a new Rover card.”
3. Ronald P.
“I contacted Ronald last minute because I couldn't walk my dog, and even though we didn't have a chance to do a meet and greet, he was patient with my dog. We're excited about more walks with him in the future.”
4. Natalia T.
About: I’ve had neighbors, friends and family rely on my to take care of their kids and pets since I was about 16 but I didn’t start really doing it a lot until I was about 18 and driving. I’m used to taking care of kids and animals at the same time so just taking care of animals would be pretty easy for me. I currently only work weekends 11:15-5:15pm other than that I’m fully available. I do play in some soccer leagues but I’ll only be gone about an hour and a half of the days I play. I am comfortable putting dogs in crates, picking up after animals, feeding them, letting them out and giving them as much love as they will take lol.
5. Justine L.
“Justine is amazing with her dogs and the dogs of her friends. She is giving them plenty of attention and love. She'll like to keep them entertained and takes them on walk and to dog parcs as well. I am no doubts that she will be responsible and a great caregiver to any dogs she will care for.”
6. Gabriel H.
“I can only say great things about Gabriel! On pretty short notice, Gabriel was able to walk my 2 small dogs for 10 days. He clearly loves dogs & they loved him. He is very reliable & attentive to the dogs needs. I won’t hesitate to hire him again.”
7. Isabell W.
“Isabella has done a great job dog sitting for us since the first time we found her through mutual friends. She cares and loves for dogs so much! Totally would recommend her!”
8. Iuliia G.
“Iuliia is amazing with dogs! I have a rescue pit bull who's not friendly with strangers and is afraid of them, as a result of some abuse as a puppy before we rescued him. As he's now a 90lbs dog, we always ensure he's properly managed. Iuliia was able to find comfort ground with him so quickly and effortlessly. It was surprising and also wonderful to see. I was amazed by her ability to be so comfortable with a dog like mine. She's just wonderful with her care and comfort she gives to the pup. She's impressive and highly recommended!”
9. Christina N.
“Christina is a responsible pet owner and lover. Given any situation, her willingness and patience is unmatched. Every pet has a schedule, specific need, and personality that she will tend to.”
10. Anna V.
“Anna is literally a dog lover, she loves and she treats the dogs like no one else. She takes the best care of the daily routine and diet, besides to play and make them company genuinely, cause she naturally wanna be around them. Anna is fascinated by the dogs and they can feel it by the way that they behave in her presence. It’s beautiful to see Anna’s relationship with the dogs, I highly recommend her.”
11. Olivia D.
About: At 5 years old my family adopted our first two cats, Molly and Oliver. A few years later we adopted two more, Zorro and Zucchero. In my early twenties I started fostering dogs in LA until they found their forever home. I house trained, potty trained, and leash trained puppies and dogs of various ages. I am now the proud stepmom of two mischievous bunnies who split their time between my house in Napa and my boyfriend’s house in San Francisco. I work Tuesday to Thursday in Napa and split long weekends between Napa and San Francisco. I am quite flexible with advance notice! If you have a specific request I would love to try to accommodate. I would be taking your pet for walks or watching your pet in your home. If you have specific rules, areas that are off limits, or your dog has a favorite route, I would love to help keep your routine and make you and your pet happy!
12. Kiel B.
About: I’ve always had and loved dogs. I’ve taken care of many family friends dogs ever since childhood. I’m doing this now because my condo doesn’t allow dogs so I figured this would be a great way to be around them! I am available most week days and would love to take your dog on any type of walk or hike! Dogs that need extra exercise is no problem I am willing to give however much attention a dog requires and I have a good understanding of their cues. I am the perfect person to care for you dog because I’m doing this only because I love dogs!
13. Briana F.
About: I’ve been an animal owner and lover my entire life! I’ve cared for many breeds of dogs, cats, chickens, goats, horses, llamas, and more! I’ve also volunteered for a local rescue organization and fostered many animals. I’m comfortable giving medications and would love to take your dog on walks, runs or hikes! I’m self employed as a photographer so my schedule varies greatly but I have lots of flexibility! I’m a professional and will treat your pet’s care as my best client! Since I work for myself, I control my schedule so I can accommodate yours! Anyone that knows me knows that I care for my animals like my family! I will care for yours the same way! I’m communicative, organized and will treat your home with the utmost respect!
14. Jenna B.
“Looking for just the right person to watch your good boi for a couple of hours or a day is tough. After all, the person has to be as attentive and caring as you are. But is that even possible? With Jenna it is. She has the right touch with my most important four-legged, furry friend. When I leave my dog in Jenna's care, I know he's going to get the attention I would give him - whether it's an extra biscuit for being extra good or a scratch in that special place behind his left ear. I heartily commend Jenna - and so does my good boi.”
15. Miranda K.
“Miranda took care of my two pups in our house while we were out of town for a week and couldn’t have done a better job. We have an older dog that requires seizure medication twice daily, as well as an energetic 1 year old puppy, and she did an excellent job with both. We got frequent pictures/video updates of lots of playtime, walks, and cuddles. When she saw the dogs again after dogsitting they practically tumbled over themselves to get to her to say hi. I wholeheartedly recommend her and will absolutely be using Miranda to dogsit whenever she’s available in the future.”
16. Hanna h.
“Hanna loves animals! She is aware, considerate, and confident. I trust her with my pets and they respond well to her. I highly recommend Hanna.”
17. Ashley A.
“There aren't many people I would leave my fur babies with, but Ashley is at the top of the list! She has watched my dogs and cats for years and has always treated them as her own. I am so grateful to have peace the of mind, knowing and they will be properly cared for and loved while I'm away. Thank you Ashley for always going above and beyond!”
18. Grace B.
“Grace did a great job walking my berner! He came back looking happy and energized and she sent me many cute pictures while she was on the job! Thanks 😁”
19. Laura N.
“Laura did a fantastic job watching our mini golden doodle for 2 weeks. She was great at providing consistent communication regarding feeding, walking, and activities and would send daily pictures of our pup. Our doodle had an amazing time and your dog is in good hands with her.”
20. Karina M.
About: I have experience in dog and cat sitting for multiple nights for about two years now. I have experience with dogs that require long walks and cats that need to be monitored during the day. I currently work part time, therefore I am available most week days. At the moment, I am only available to walk dogs on my free time and house sit if necessary. I like taking dogs on long walks or runs if they are capable. I usually give pets their space when they are relaxing at home.
