“Shea is awesome! Our kitties love her and she is great. She sent us so many photos and updates while we were gone and left our place clean and tidy. We will be booking her again for sure!”
“Zach took such good care of my two dogs! He was great with communication, so friendly, prompt, and obviously cares so much about dogs! I just came home from my trip to two very happy dogs and a clean house. I will be reaching out to Zach in the future to help with my dogs! Thanks Zach!”

“Sophia is very caring and you can tell she loves animals. She sent plenty of pictures and was great about staying in touch while I was away. She even went so far as to bring a “carrier” for my old guy that can’t really go on walks anymore which I thought was really sweet. I’ve already rebooked with her and feel great about her caring for my senior dogs!”

“Jessica was amazing with our big girl Kona! It was so comforting to know that she was happy and being well taken care of while we were away. Jessica was so great about sending pictures and updates too. I will definitely be using her for dog and housesitting again.”

“My boy George was obsessed with Marianne the minute he met her. I left town for a few days while Marianne was watching him and I got lots of updates and photos about the stay. If you have separation anxiety like I do while leaving my dog, he will be in great hands. I’ll be definitely booking Marianne back to back for future stays. I feel so lucky to find someone so good to my beloved pup, who is also so respectful to the property. Thank you Marianne, we love you :) Eva & George”

“Christina did a great job with our pups. One of our dogs can be overly anxious and a handful, but when we arrived home everyone was calm. They have maintained a great disposition since we’ve been home. We will definitely reach out again!”

“Trevor did an amazing job taking care of my dog for the entire week. He was reliable, attentive, and clearly cared about making sure my dog was comfortable and happy while I was away. I really appreciated the updates and peace of mind knowing my dog was in great hands. I would absolutely recommend Trevor to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pets!”

“Zack took care of Milo while we were away for the weekend. He communicated with us regularly, shared regular updates, and took great care of Milo and our house while we were away. It was really easy and enjoyable to work with Zack!”

“Stephanie is very reliable and helpful with any changes needed. Send photos. Dogs got good walks plus an added bonus was she brushed our golden retriever to an excellent level!”


“We found Allie when we had to quickly find a sitter for our Moana. She did a wonderful meet and greet with us to give us and Moana time to get comfortable with her and was up for a 1 night "rest run" even which helped ease our minds and gave us a chance to stay with some friends nearby and celebrate a birthday. So grateful that we found Allie!”

“Rose was great! She helped us care for our new puppy who is a lot of work! She kept our home clean which was not easy to do with our little one and kept her entertained while we were away.”

“Mia helped me last minute with a pretty new 9 week year old puppy! This required more than most with more consistent bathroom breaks and more time than a traditional pup. Mia killed it! Lots of pics and videos, and great communication! Again, a week long house stay on short notice is always a pet owners worst nightmare, but Mia made it a great and easy for me! Thanks Mia!”

“Can't say enough positive things about Ro! Proactive with updates, so caring and sweet to my dog, went above and beyond to keep the house pristine. Highly, highly recommend! (Especially if you have a bigger dog with a scary bark but is really a teddy bear :)”

“Shannon was amazing. She hit it off with my two dogs right away. They slept with her and she did amazing. I will use her again when needed. Oh, and the house was spotless. Pick Shannon, you won't be disappointed.”

“Erika did an outstanding job taking care of my 3 dogs and farm. She was proactively responsive, extremely clean, respectful of my house and clearly loved my fur babies. I have 1 very large 110 lb. dog which she handled perfectly. She sent daily photos, so I knew everyone was being taken great care of. When we got home, everything was normal. The house was better off than when we left it. She followed my instructions to a T. I could tell my pups loved her right back. She even left a polaroid photo of my pups and a clean poop bag in the poop bucket. I highly, highly recommend her.”

“This was our second time having Rayna stay at our house with our old girl Daisy. She did another great job and sent lots of pictures & updates. We will definitely book her again. Thanks, Rayna! P.S. Daisy really bonded with you and looks forward to seeing you again soon 💕🌻”

“Kathryn did an amazing job! We have a brand new puppy and it was great knowing he was in such thoughtful and capable hands. We got lots of texts, photos and videos throughout the day. I would love to have Kathryn sit for us again soon!”

San Carlos pet parents share their Rover experiences
Alexis was excellent! She was able to help out on short notice and made the entire experience stress-free. Communication was great throughout the stay, and she kept me updated with messages and photos of Rocky. When I returned home, Rocky was happy and well cared for, and my house was left extremely clean. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter.

Jordan is truly the sweetest, and we honestly cannot say enough good things about her. She loves and cares for our pets as if they were her own, and the peace of mind that gives us is absolutely priceless. We trust her completely with both our pets and our home, and our babies adore her. She is kind, dependable, and thoughtful, with the biggest heart for animals. Over time, she has truly become like family to us, and we are so incredibly grateful for her. We almost don’t want to share her because she’s that amazing, but she deserves all the love and recognition. If you are lucky enough to book Jordan, know your pets will be loved, spoiled, and cared for like family. 🐾❤️

Kelly not only took excellent care of our animals she also helped them stay happy and balanced. After meeting with her, I knew they were going to be very well loved and have all their needs met. It was such a relief to know they were in such good hands while we were processing a stressful move. I could not recommend Kelly enough! I will always ask for her first in the future. ☺️

We were very happy with Rose as our in-home sitter! She had great communication and made us feel comfortable while on vacation. She truly cared about our pets and took extra time to work with our new rescue dog that can be timid. We received many photos and updates. We came back to a clean house and happy animals. I definitely recommend her & will be using her in the future. Thanks again!!

Can't believe our luck!!! We had a last minute cancelation with another Rover house sitter (ER family death totally understandable) and Rita happened to be available. She came for a brief "meet n' greet" the afternoon before our departure the next morning. Rita was very flexible, accommodating, friendly, Mila quickly adapted to her, and her energy matched our very young (2 yo) Aussie Shepard Mix!! Our home was left as we had left it. She tended to everything we asked her to do and a little more. We wouldn't hesitate to book with Rita again in the future!!!
