“Alia was amazing. She provided excellent detailed updates and really knew how to care for my dog who was hesitant about this new visitor. She took care of my baby so well, and when I returned home it was as if I had not left. Dog was calm, house was tidy and Alia had even washed my bed sheets! I will definitely be rebooking on my next trip. Thank you Alia for your sweet, kind and caring time with my precious baby (Lulu). We really appreciate you and look forward to seeing you again.”
“Katrina did a wonderful job taking care of my 3 cats. She was very attentive to each of my cats’ needs and put great effort into playing, talking and feeding them. She gave updates with photos, videos, and messages and was always very responsive. We definitely recommend her and will book her again in the future.”
“Leaka treated our pets like family. She was very communicative with us, keeping us in the know with all our pets shenanigans. She was attentive with them, providing play and even snuggles. We could tell our pets were well taken care of. We will definitely look to Leaka for future pet sitting.”
About: My personal approach to dog care is grounded in genuine care for their well being. Working with my clients I provide prompt communication to ensure your dog is safe, happy, and healthy! Growing up my family had a beautiful 30lb dog that I helped care for from a puppy to old age. Being a part of this process has shown me how to support dogs in each stage of life from rambunctious puppies (structure, training and enrichment) to easing the aging process (special diet, new steps to climb onto the couch, shorter walks etc). Depending on the activity needs of your pup, I’m happy to provide daily walks or short runs (1-3 miles). I'm currently taking a gap year so I have plenty of time for your pups! I'm available weekdays and, with advance planning, can provide housesitting through weekends as well. I live in a single family home with three dogs. However, our family dogs like their space, and it is not available for dog boarding.
“Vanessa was very gentle and kind with my dogs and they trusted her right away! She sent so many pictures while we were away and puppies looked relaxed and happy to be around her😍 I will definitely rebook ☺️!”
“We are so happy we found Yvonne, what a great fur baby sitter! Sent tons of photos, very responsive when I reached out, and did not hesitate to askquestions if she felt unsure about something. We will for sure be booking her again if she’s available.”
“Nikka is a gem!! She was extremely communicative and sent me regular updates while watching our two large dogs and bird while we were out of town. She is trustworthy, caring, and made me feel so comfortable being away from my fur babies. I highly recommend booking Nikka if she is available.”
About: I've loved dogs since I was a kid! My first dog was a Chow Chow when I was five years old, and I adored him until the day he passed. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them comes with much joy to me. Friends and family often count on me to walk, feed, and spend time with their pets, and I genuinely love every second of it. I treat every pet with patience, affection, and the same care I’d want for my own. I am currently working part time as a Behavioral Aide for toddlers on the autism spectrum. Afternoon and evenings are open for me and I am avaliable for dog walking, house sitting, and drop-in visits during this slot. I will offer the best possible care for your pet during our walks and/or visits. I do not offer boarding in my home as my arrangements do not allow it but I am open to house sitting and providing your dog and feline friends what they need according to what you know is best for them!
About: Hi there! Thanks for visiting my profile! I practically grew up in a zoo - lizards, birds, dogs, frogs, cats, you name it, my family fostered an animal loving environment. Friends and family say I’m the “go to” and “hands on” gal when it comes to any pet related questions. My experience ranges from young to senior animals, I believe every step of a pet’s life requires love and attention. I also have over 5 years of volunteer experience at my local humane society. :) So excited to meet you and your furry family members! WHY IM ON ROVER: Not only do I love animals, I love connecting with my community and getting outdoors. AVAILABILITY: I work 8am-5pm but I am also fairly flexible and can make something work if given enough notice :) Saturday-Sunday: open availability unless noted otherwise! Drop-ins and walks are my main focus but can make overnight stay exceptions for repeat clients! I prefer to watch pets in my client’s home and have many years of experience as a trusted nanny, pet sitter and house sitter (and can provide references upon request!)
“Emiliano was our first male to sit for our 1yo puppy. He was extremely gentle and caring and agreed to meet with us and our pup before his stay. He went out of his way to make sure our home looked even better than we left it, with a happy dog to come home to also.”
“We had such a great experience with Sarah! She stayed at our home for four nights with our senior pup, Kuma, and I truly couldn’t have asked for better care. Kuma requires medication and specific feeding instructions, and she handled everything thoughtfully and responsibly. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing our older girl was in capable hands. She sent regular updates, communicated clearly throughout the stay, and took wonderful care of both Kuma and our home. You can tell she’s attentive and genuinely cares about the animals she watches. I would absolutely have her back in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate sitter.”
“Jaron is WONDERFUL! Our schnauzer as a general rule does not like other people including our adult children, but Stewie warmed up to Jaron and even cuddled with him. Jaron was contentious and used great communication to let us know what was going on. Definitely will ask Jaron to house sit again.”
“Maria provided exceptional service for my dog, Thor, and cat, Alfie! I would recommend Maria to anyone looking for a dependable, caring and knowledgeable person to care for their pets. Maria sent me daily summaries, pictures and videos so my mind could be at ease while away. I highly recommend Maria.”
“Lorenzo did a great job of spending time with the dogs and taking care of the house. He left a charging cord at the house, and when he came by to pick up the cord, I could tell by the reaction of the dogs that they had a great time with Lorenzo and that they missed him. Hopefully Lorenzo will be available to watch Bella and Marlie in the future.”
“Elena was fantastic! She kept in touch with us frequently, providing updates on how our fur babies were doing, which put our minds at ease while we were away on a family trip. Elena took great care of our animals, and it was clear that our fur babies enjoyed her company. We were truly impressed by her level of care. We will definitely request to have Elena back the next time!”
About: I’ve been around dogs most of my life and grew up helping care for three family dogs—a German Shepherd/Husky (Wong), a Rottweiler (Choi), and a Border Collie mix (Bella)—from ages 10–21. That experience gave me a strong understanding of different temperaments, energy levels, and care needs. I’m comfortable with daily routines like feeding, walking, and providing consistent structure, and I always aim to make dogs feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I miss my dogs dearly and helping you would help fill in that void. My schedule is very flexible, and work from home. On my days off, I enjoy going on long walks, hiking, and relaxing with Netflix. I live in a clean, spacious, pet-friendly one-bedroom apartment. I can also set up safety gates to keep pets out of the kitchen while I'm cooking, ensuring they stay safe from any food or spills. I'm located near trails and plenty of green space, providing great opportunities for walks and outdoor time. I currently have an open schedule. Whether if you need a sitter for date night, going on a vacation, or even if you need a break from life, I am your guy! I have a big apartment with my fiancée and have plenty of walking areas in the peninsula. I can also take your dog to great highway for a long walk or even hangout at the beach!
About: I've taken care of puppies and dogs, cats and guinea pigs. I've administered meds to those who've needed them, I am reliable and understand they are not just pets but a part of your family. I enjoy taking care of animals, interacting, playing, cuddling with all sorts of pets. Very responsible. I currently, due to my living restrictions, can't have pets so what better way to give the love that I have than to treat your babies as my own! I am walking every day around the neighborhood, taking a pet would make it more enjoyable. They get fresh air as will I, we win! I can keep your fur babies company in their home environment while you are out of town. Making them as comfortable as I can so as to not stress them.
“Brianna watched our two dogs Riley and Charlie for 7 days while we were out if town. She was an excellent communicator. As one of our dogs Riley started experiencing stomach bowel issues. She was awesome at handling the situation and made us feel reassured. She sent us pictures, videos and updates frequently. We would definitely recommend Brianne and we plan to book with her for future travels.”
“Anna was amazing! She took care of our dog Lily at our house for a week while we were in vacation and took such good care of her! She took her on walks, played with her and even gave her a bath - which was not expected!! Everyday we got lots of photos of Lily having fun! She also left the house spotless. We will definitely use Anna the next time we go on a trip. I highly recommend her!”
“Kahren is AMAZING!! We had a work trip that left us unexpectedly away from our fur family, and Kahren gave us the comfort we needed while we were away. We have some special needs pets, and Kahren gave them the care they needed. What a gem!!”

We cannot thank Katrina enough for taking such good care of our two dogs. We hired Katrina for pet/house sitting. As any pet parent knows, it is stressful to leave your fur babies behind while on vacation but Katrina eased that stress by sending daily updates, complete with photos to let us know how our dogs were doing. She took them on long walks and sent photos while on the walks. (The dogs looked very happy.) She also took good care of the house. We will definitely reach out to her again and highly recommend her.
Linda was awesome! Super communicative, timely, and kind to my overly nervous dog. She took the time to come out for a meet and greet before the sitting period so my dog could get accustomed to her, which was extremely appreciated. She sent lots of pictures even though I was only away for two nights which I loved!! She also left my house extremely clean and left my dog happy. Will definitely book again in the future if I ever need to go away again!
Elena took such wonderful care of our pups while we were away. They were so happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved when we got home. She was communicative, reliable, and gave us so much peace of mind during our trip. We’re very grateful for her care and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!
Alia did a wonderful job caring for my dog, Daisy, as well as our outdoor cats. She provided consistent updates, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. I especially appreciated her professionalism and clear focus on Daisy’s care and well-being. It was obvious she took her responsibilities seriously and treated our pets with genuine attention and kindness. I would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter.
We had such a great experience with our sitter Sarah! She has such a warm, charismatic presence that immediately put us at ease. Our puppy is usually very shy and slow to warm up to new people, but she was incredibly attentive and patient with him. Because of that, he quickly began to trust her. We really appreciated the care and effort she put into making him feel comfortable and safe. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone and would happily book with her again!
Lisa has taken care of our little senior pup, Queenie, several times and we always trust her to do a great job. She asks questions upon arrival and sends updates and cute photos! We trust Lisa and find her wonderful to work with. I would absolutely recommend her!
Raquel is so great with my zoo! She goes above and beyond taking out the litter, which I greatly appreciate! My dog loves going on walks with her and he’s a bit reactive with no issues. I’m so glad she is local and takes such great care of my babies, thank you!!!
