“Ari, is the greatest! Ari made us very comfortable immediately coming into are home and taking care of Cooper. We were able to get him at the last minute, for Easter. Additionally, he came from the same community that we were living. We are new to Rover and because of his professionalism we will be a future customer!!”
2. David L.
“David has been a big help for our family. He's really flexible, neat and our dog loves him. David is on our favorite list and we will be hiring him again. Our dog can be hard to deal with and David wasn't intimidated and handled everything like a pro! You will not be disappointed!”

4. Vivian K.
“Don’t hesitate to book Vivian, she was phenomenal. She took great care of my two dogs and chickens. Additionally, she stayed at her home so that our dogs could feel secure in their own setting. She also went above and beyond at taking care of the house and it looked like it did when we left. I am using her soon again and I will be a repeat customer!”
5. Dorothy S.

6. Samantha N.
“Samantha has been taking care of my dog Bailey for over 7 years. She's loving and caring and sensative to Bailey who gets a bit anxious when I'm not here! She's stayed over several nights while I've been traveling. She's always responsible and keeps me updated how Bailey is doing. Completely trust having her in my home and caring for my furry baby!”
7. Mariah J.
“This was our first time using Rover and we had a lengthy trip. Mariah cared for our puppies which included washing of pee pads daily, hydrating food and giving electrolytes. She got our mail and packages along with taking our garbage cans out. It was more than caring for our beloveds and they were happy and healthy upon our return. We are very grateful for Mariah’s care of our pups and home in our absence. We will use her again.”
8. Channing M.
“We were hesitant to trust anyone but family or friends with our beloved dog, Bella, but Channing completely won us over! Channing stayed in our home for several nights to take care of Bella. With daily pup dates and photos, we knew that Bella was happy and well taken care of. Also, our house was cleaner than when we left! It's clear that Channing genuinely cares for animals and treats them like her own. Thank you, Channing, for providing such wonderful care for our furry family member! We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter.”
9. Gabriel H.
“Gabriel was fantastic! After several attempts at a house sitter and watching our two dogs, one of them large, Gabriel took the stress off of us during our vacation. Great communication, lots of pictures, and the house was well cared for. Highly recommend Gabriel!!!”
10. Stephanie D.
“Stephanie did a fantastic job watching my two dogs—a 2-year-old and a 3-month-old puppy—over the weekend. Stephanie sent regular updates and photos, which really put me at ease. It was such a relief knowing they were in good hands. I came home to two very happy and well-cared-for dogs. Highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
11. tyler l.
“Tyler is the best with my dog Wilson( border collie, super energetic… I feel safe knowing he knows to keep my dog away from kids, my dog Wilson is shy and sometimes kids can be very loud and grabby. Tyler treats Wilson as his own and will even tell parents of kids just walking by “Wilson doesn’t do well with children” or “let Wilson come up to you, don’t come up to him “ This is Very comforting to know he knows how to handle dogs with anxiety! Overall Very intuitive with animals in general! I feel comfortable leaving Wilson in his care going on long walks. 10/10”
12. Miranda K.
“"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!"”
13. Charlie G.
“Charlie was awesome! She made sure to give us updates and pictures all throughout the stay and we felt very comfortable with her watching our dog and cat. We would definitely have her back again!”
14. Ronald P.
“Ron was available on short notice and we really lucked out. He took great care of our pups. He is also very friendly and communicative which we appreciated. We will be booking with him again for future trips.”
15. Ruth U.
“Ruth was incredibly helpful in guidance through the process of using Rover for the first time as well as preparing ourselves for someone else to watch Batman and account for his needs while we were away. She set up a meet and greet which helped decrease all the nerves we had around using this service for the first time, and made sure the handoff when we did leave for vacation was easy and clear. Batman seemed comfortable around her from the first visit and she made sure to keep us updated with frequent pictures and check-ins while we were away. She was also an excellent and clean house guest.”

20. Jesse M.
About: I've worked in boarding facilities and veterinary offices for a combined 5 years. I'm experienced in providing care for dogs and cats of every age, nearly every breed, and with all kinds of medical conditions and behaviors. I work from home full time and can provide around the clock companionship and care. I love to get outside and go for walks and hikes, but I'm always happy to laze on the couch a bit too. I have one dog, Minnow, a 6 month old mixed breed puppy who is very friendly with all dogs. I have experienced administering oral medications and insulin, basic grooming, obedience and reactivity training, and puppy/senior care. I have previously fostered puppies in my home. I love all breeds from small to large, and anywhere in between! I have a very flexible work schedule. I often have weekend plans but am able to accommodate with notice. I do have one dog who I am the primary caretaker of. I live in St. Helena and love to take walks in the vineyards surrounding my neighborhood or over to Crane Park. I live with my boyfriend (pictured) who often helps provide care. I am comfortable crating, doing basic training, administering medication, and handling reactive or timid dogs. My goal is always to establish trust, and I'll always give time for your pet to warm up to me first. I'll do my best to meet special requests and make sure your pets are comfortable and happy while you're away!
