“Asa was great with my boys and sent daily photos and info. I felt like I could relax on my trip knowing my cat and dog were being well taken care of! Would definitely request Asa again! 😁”


“We had a last minute cancellation on our house/pet sitting and Tiffany was a God send. We have never booked with Rover before and she popped up as a recommendation. She responded right away, came over right away to meet our fur babies. She communicated well throughout the entire process and provided timely information. In the videos our dogs and cat looked like they were having fun, wagging tails. It was a bit chaotic in the decision to use Rover and someone we didn't know and us trying to get out of town. But Tiffany's calm and just reassuring presence was something we truly appreciated.”


“Elliot stayed at our house with our dogs (3 of them) for 4 days. I can't say enough good things about Elliot. You can tell that he really cares about animals and spends lots of time with them when house sitting. We got updates, photos and the dogs got walked twice a day. I wouldn't hesitate to have Elliot stay again. Having Elliot stay with the dogs gave us peace of mind and the house was well taken care of. Elliot is someone very responsible and completely trustworthy. Thank you Elliot !!!!!”


“Christina was wonderful in caring for our dog. She was always super responsive in sending updates and photos while we were away. She left our house spotless too which was above and beyond.”


“Dorothy is awesome! She takes such good care of our hyper lab/pointer mix and our cat. Great communication and extremely friendly. Highly trust and recommend Dorothy!”


“Gabriel was extremely patient with our two rescues giving each the attention the needier one thrives on, while giving space to our more nervous pooch until she warmed up to him. Both in just the right amounts to make our dogs feel more relaxed and secure. Thank you Gabriel!”


“Ron took care of our two dogs overnight. He initially came over for a meet and greet, which was helpful. He’s a great communicator and sent us lots of pics and updates. Highly recommend.”


“Conner was really great with our two pups and senior cat. He had great communication and sent us updates which we loved! We would highly recommend him to sit.”


About: I have had a German Shepherd companion throughout my life--very blessed. That wasn't easy either as I lived and worked 26 years overseas--22 years in Asia, and took my GSD with me (every where possible). I have also "owned" some great cats--both here in the USA but also at my home in Thailand. Most of my GSD companions I trained myself and they were great in company--took them to work, took them traveling, had friends over...always good, always gentle, and very smart. I am currently semi-retired, so pet care is actually a nice treat. We--my wife, Hien, and I both animal lovers and enjoy the company of pets. We are unable to care for pets where we live, so caring for pets where they live is a very nice opportunity for us. Enjoyable.

About: Friendly, reliable neighborhood pet sitter based in Napa, CA. I have a lifelong love of animals and years of experience walking dogs along side caring for senior pets Pet care is already a natural and important part of my daily life. Whether it's feeding, walking, grooming, or just spending quality time with pets, I make sure their needs are met consistently. I structure my schedule around their routines—morning and evening walks, playtime, and check-ins—because I know how important consistency is for animals. I enjoy the time I spend with pets, and caring for them has become a rewarding part of my everyday life, not just a task. I’m organized, flexible, and always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and happy I am the main cade taker of the pets in our home. Not only do I take care of their daily needs like food and water, I also give them lots of physical affection with plenty of verbal and emotional love. Whatever and whenever there are meds to be administered I'm there for our pets.

About: Hi, My personal experience includes having a little Pomeranian dog for 12 years, she loved going to the park and playing fetch with her little stuff animal. Now, I recently added a new addition and have a white German Shepherd puppy who loves long walks, playing in the water, and playing fetch. I have also walked my neighbors yellow lab down to the park a few times when they needed an extra hand. I think it’s very important that dogs have the opportunity to get out and exercise as much as they can. I love all dogs, I would love to go on walks with your dog and help keep them healthy and exercised. I could also work with the owners schedule as they needed. I’m currently working part time and have plenty of time to walk the dog or dog sit! I can work around your schedule! Thank you. I will make sure they will only go in designated areas of the house. If I am on a walk, I will make sure they don’t get overheated and I will always clean up after them.

“Angela is so great with our sweet dog! Remi took an immediate liking to Angela and that says alot!! My husband and I feel very comfortable leaving Remi with her! She's greatl!! ❤️”


“Victoria was a life saver for us when we recently went out of town. She stayed in our home and watched our cat and 9-month old puppy. She was incredibly communicative and kept us up to date with photos. She managed meds for one of our pets and left us feeling at ease that everything was taken care of. It was so nice to come home to happy pets and a clean home. Thanks, Victoria!”

“We came home to a happy dog! Derek helped us out in a pinch and was very easy to work and communicate with. He took good care of our home and our boy! This was the first time having a sitter in the home and Derek made it a seamless process bringing us peace of mind while we were away. Thanks Derek!”


“Gillian was very good in replying to my comments leading up to the petsitting. She watched our low-needs cat and high-anxiety rescue dog. When we got home a few hours later, both pets were in good spirits; no shaking or hiding. We will definitely call on Gillian in the future.”


“Ashley was great! We reached out to her last minute to come sit with our pup at our hotel while we went to dinner. She responded right away! Our pup was well taken care of and even got a walk in. We appreciated Ashley’s flexibility and willingness to hang out on our hotel room.”



“Ashley did a terrific job keeping me in the loop with my dogs for a long weekend! She was enthusiastic, friendly, and left my apartment cleaner than she found it! I definitely plan to use her again for dog sitting.”


“Vanessa was punctual, very sweet and Cooper immediately loved her! Coming from out of town and needing help with my pup I appreciated how communicative and reliable she was. Happy to use her again!”


About: Dogs have been a part of my life for over 10 years! My family and friends have entrusted me with the care of their pets whether that be a doggy beach day, a doggy pamper day or even just to hang out with their pup! I work from home and I am able to adjust my own schedule to fit in dog walks, dog play time, dog feed time, or whatever have you! My schedule revolves around my doggo! I have a super friendly dog, Shabba, who loves meeting other dogs and running around with them. I love taking dogs on walks or runs to the beach where they can get a lot of play time in :)

“"Miranda is an absolute gem! She is incredibly kind, reliable, and truly cares for our pets as if they were her own. It's such a relief to know that we can always count on her to provide the best care possible. Her attention to detail and genuine love for animals make her the best petsitter we've ever had. We highly recommend Miranda to anyone looking for top-notch pet care!"”
