“Debra is a great caretaker for my two dachshunds. When they are in her care she makes sure to take them on nice walks and treats them with love and respect. She always makes them feel at home and provides lots of love and snuggles.”


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. julie G.
“I’ve had the pleasure of living with Julie for some time, and I can confidently say that she is incredibly loving and attentive to her dog, Charlie, who is well-behaved and clearly well-cared for. I’ve also witnessed Julie’s interactions with other dogs, and she shows the same level of responsibility and kindness toward them. She genuinely cares about each pet she looks after. I would highly recommend Julie as a pet caregiver—she’s truly fantastic!”


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. Natalia T.

“Natalia did a good job dropping in on my pet! She is courteous and professional. She was timely, followed directions, and sent multiple photos. I will definitely be hiring Natalia again and you should too!”


12. 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.”


13. 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.”


14. Jenna B.
“You won't find a person who loves dogs more than Jenna. She is loving, gentle, and kind. I would trust her with my dog anytime. 🐕”


15. 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!


16. Conner L.
“Conner is very responsible and animals love being around him. Our dog loves it when he spends time with her. I would highly recommend him.”


17. Ally M.
“Ally is like the Mary Poppins of dog sitters - I swear my dogs get excited when I pack my suitcase and they know Ally is on her way over! I wholeheartedly recommend Ally as an A+ lover of all pets; she has that innate sensibility that animals love - confidence, kindness, and of course the knowledge of when they need a little snack. Also a trustworthy and fun human being who will look after your house as well as she looks after your pets. A+++++ for Ally!”


18. Ashley A.
“It is very easy for me to write a testimonial for Ashley. I have known her for almost six years and have found her to be a very compassionate and loving person. She currently has two cats, George and Charlie, and recently lost her cute little dog, Juju that she loved very much. She is very caring and attentive to her pets and others, including my Paco that she has watched, for me, several times. I know she will be an excellent pet sitter for other people’s pets, as well. She has worked in the hospitality industry for many years. Hospitality has prepared her to be an excellent representative for Rover in interacting with the clients. She is very responsible and dedicated to all she does.”


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. 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!
