“Michelle has been a God send. She had been consistently on time and able to watch George for us a few times this week. She takes him on nice long walks and is easy to communicate with.”
“Courtie was amazing with my baby Douglas. She sent so many photos and kept me updated without me having to ask any questions during my trip I 100% would recommend her.”
“Sarah was amazing! She was very communicative, asking all the right questions to make sure my dog was well taken care of! She sent great updates throughout our trip so we knew everything was going smoothly! Came home to a clean home and a happy puppy!”
“We had Don watch our 3 year old dog for 3 nights and 4 days. He was absolutely the perfect sitter. He arrived at 5:30AM so we could have our dog be with him while we headed to the airport to relieve any anxiety and stayed until 7:00PM so we could get back not too late with our dog being alone. Don was very kind, sweet, and attentive towards our dog. He asked for a detailed item list for his stay, he sent us a ton of photos and videos without us having to always ask, and reached out to help clean up sheets, vacuum, take the trash out before his stay ended. You can tell he has a passion for dogs and truly enjoys spending time with them. I would highly recommend Don if you are looking to enjoy your vacation or time away and want to feel like you can trust someone to make your dog happy. We look forward to hiring him again next time we are out of town. He will be our first choice in sitters moving forward.”
“Juliana house sat my dog while I was away and did an amazing job as she always does. I feel at peace whenever she is caring for my dog, who can be reactive towards others dogs, but she handles him with confidence and knows how to deal with different types of dogs. She goes above and beyond every time and is my go to rover walker/sitter.”
“Angie watched our pup for 5 days and was great! Very communicative and felt genuinely cared for that Penny was in great hands”
“We had the pleasure of having Allyn stay at our home to care for our three dogs—including two Great Danes and a Shih Tzu—as well as our chickens for nine days, and we couldn’t be more impressed. From start to finish, Allyn was professional, reliable, and incredibly loving with all of our animals. Managing large dogs and chickens isn’t always easy, but Allyn handled everything with confidence and care. She kept us updated regularly with photos and check-ins, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. The house was spotless when we returned, and all of our animals were clearly happy, healthy, and well cared for. We highly recommend Allyn to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter. She went above and beyond, and we’ll definitely be booking her again in the future!”

“Elliot was the best with Scar. 10/10 recommend, awesome dog-sitter and super cool person. Was really great with any provided details and instructions.”
About: Since birth, I have never not owned a pet (specifically dogs and cats). So I guess you could say I have a lifetime of experience? 🤷🏼♀️ But seriously - I’ve been watching my family’s dogs since high school, and have expanded to now being the trusted sitter for my friends! I not only grew up in an animal household, but I am the proud momma of a cat! She is literally my child - I taught her how to do tricks, walk on a harness, and even socialized her with people so she wouldn’t be afraid when we had guests! I spent a lot of time researching cat behavior and care - and rest assured I would take the same tender love and care for your fur baby as well. Since I have over a decade of experience caring for cats and dogs - I can handle anything ranging from energetic puppies, to managing the medical and medicinal needs of a senior dog. No task is too big or too little for your pooch. Thank you for taking a chance on me - I promise to love and care for your pet as if they were my own! I will not only do my best in making sure the needs of your dog are met - but I will also provide constant photos and check ins! Thank you for the opportunity - and I look forward to meeting my new furry best friend! 🐾 I WFH full time so I have a lot of flexibility to step away during the day to run errands, or check on your fur babies! I have a laptop so I can also bring that for overnight stays, so no worries on that front! I live in an apartment with my husband, and our cat Daisy 🌼 We do a good job splitting the care of our cat, so no issues if I need to step away for a couple hours to do a check in or walk, or an overnight stay! As a pet owner myself - I know how stressful it is to leave your fur baby with someone new. I will follow your instructions to a T - and make sure there is constant communication on the wellbeing of your pet. I will make sure I understand what is expected of me before you leave - so you have peace of mind that your fur baby is well taken care of. I also encourage a meet and greet before booking - I can meet your baby and we can go over specifics!
“This was my first time having a stranger watch my dog and house, and Annalie did a fantastic job! She took great care of my dog, Winston, and kept me updated throughout the weekend with photos and videos, which really helped put my mind at ease. Everything at the house was just as I left it, and Winston was happy and well cared for. I would absolutely recommend Annalie and plan to book with her again in the future!”
“Juan was great! He watched my MIL dog Hodor because he’s too big to come to our house. Juan kept the house clean and even made the bed. We would love having him again and plan to ask. Thank you Juan.”

About: I have taken care of my pups for 6 years and ensure that I know their allergies. I play with them and stimulate their minds so they can not be so hyperactive. I’m currently working as a children’s tutor part time and I love caring for dogs and cats! I’ll give them more attention than they need. I ensure my pets have food and water and watch out what they can pick up from the ground that can be dangerous for their health. I’ve given my pups medicine through treats easily too.
“Cristina was excellent with my two Yorkies. She is sweet, professional, and responsible. She checked in and sent updates with photos, which I really appreciated.”
About: As a mom to two boys and 3 fur babies I would love to be there for your fur babies while you're away. I know I'll instantly fall in love with them and care for them as if they were my own!

About: I’ve taken care of animals for about 5 years and my love for them has not changed whatsoever. I’m always excited to meet new friends especially when they feel the same way I always care for my cat everyday and sometimes my cousin’s dog if I go to her apartment next door. Taking care of pets is important for me because they are always there for you when you need them most I have a fence in my house to keep any pet from danger and if an animal is not friendly with others my cat has his own room.
About: I've had dogs since I was born and recently became a cat mama myself! I have fostered dogs of all ages and many different breeds, requiring different levels of care and activity. I'm so excited to help care for your furry friend! I'm currently working part-time, so I am available for twice daily walks, dog park outings, house sitting, and more! My schedule is fairly flexible so we can always work something out to make sure your pet gets the care they need. I have a drama queen cat who isn't up to mingling with other pets, but I am more than happy to care for your pets in your own space to your liking.

“Yoshiko was one of THE BEST sitter we've ever had. She kept the place extremely clean, probably even cleaner than when we left it. Our dog looked healthy and happy in Yoshiko's care. She was extremely communicative throughout the whole process, and very respectful of our space. We've had many Rover sitters in the past, and we'd always be nervous leaving our dog in someone else's care, but Yoshiko made us feel extremely at ease while being away. We would definitely have Yoshiko care for our dog again any time we're away.”

Ashlee H.
“Ashlee is my top choice for watching my dogs when we go out of town over long weekends. We have 2 senior dogs - a 14 year old chihuahua, and an 11 year old golden retriever. Ashlee is our most trusted sitter because she is very good at giving both dogs their medicine. The golden is easy, put the pill in her kibble. The chihuahua is more difficult as her meds need to be crushed and mixed with water, and mixed in with her food. Plus the chihuahua doesnt sleep well overnight, waking up constantly. Ashlee is very good about letting her out regardless of what time it is at night, and whether or not she was sleeping. Our dogs are definitely not easy, but Ashlee is always more than happy to watch them. Our dogs love her, and were so lucky to have found a great sitter! As an added bonus - we also have a hermit crab and some fish and she makes sure theyre also taken care of!”

Michelle P.
“Michelle is a wonderful human being with a caring soul. She is the type of person who will surprise you with coffee if she knows you're tired. Michelle will give everything she has to make sure her loved ones are taken care of. She is the same way with her dog Riley and with the children she works with as a teacher aide. With the most pure heart and ability to see what others are in need of, she will make the best candidate to care for pets. She has many years of experience caring for her own dog and her family's other dog. Whenever she visits my house I am happy to see how caring and affectionate she is with my 1.5 year old dog that is full of energy.”

Annabel H.
“Annabel is one of the only people I trust to watch my pets! She is very attentive and gives me frequent updates when asked. My pets adore her and I love that it feels like I’m leaving them with family because of how well she cares for them. When she’s had to stay at my home she has always left it clean and orderly for my return as well! I cannot recommend her enough!”

Santa Anita pet parents share their Rover experiences
Courtie is AMAZING! She sent me all the updates! My old girl is in meds and has to potty every so often and everything was perfect! When we got home the house was spotless and my girl was happy thank you so much for loving her as your own! ❤️
Christian was a phenomenal dog-sitter! He made sure to provide updates of the service everyday. I greatly appreciated his communication style - Especially while my husband and I were out of town. He also made sure to inform us of any incidents while we were away. I felt so at ease while on vacation, and it’s all thanks to Christian. Overall, our family would love to book him again (if he’d have us, of course!). Thank you, again for taking care of our fur-son. <3
Elizabeth is amazing! I cannot imagine a better pet sitter. I was gone for 10 days, and the whole time she was communicative and sent lots of pictures. When I got home, my apartment was better than I left it! I could tell both of my pets were comfortable with and well loved by her. Thank you Elizabeth!!!
This was my first time having a stranger watch my dog and house, and Annalie did a fantastic job! She took great care of my dog, Winston, and kept me updated throughout the weekend with photos and videos, which really helped put my mind at ease. Everything at the house was just as I left it, and Winston was happy and well cared for. I would absolutely recommend Annalie and plan to book with her again in the future!
Holli is professional, respectful, and communicative while house sitting for Bruno. And her dog, Woody was a fantastic companion to my dog. I highly recommend Holli (and Woody 😊)! I will definitely use their services again.
Sara always does such a great job of taking care of our dog. He has really bad separation anxiety so I always feel so guilty when leaving him! I don’t have to worry about it when she takes care of him, because she alwys goes above and beyond!
Alex was prompt, professional, had good communication, and did well with our pup. Definitely recommend Alex!
I can’t say enough good things! She watched my dogs during a trip and took such good care of them that even my fearful dog opened up to her for cuddles. She even cleaned and washed everything she used so we wouldn’t have to worry about cleaning when we got back. On top of all that, our flight got canceled and she added on services at the last minute to accommodate us and our pups’ needs. BEST dog sitter! Very respectful and genuinely enjoys being with your fur babies
Our dog had a GREAT weekend with Bella and Matt! We could see from the many pictures they sent that he was having the time of his life. They provided plenty of walks and companionship and were mindful of his routines. (And the house was in great shape too when we got home!)
Sarah was amazing with Koji! At the very beginning, in our meet and greet, he was all over her. He is an Akita, and not usually overtly friendly, so that was really comforting. Sarah came in with such confidence and kindness with him, and she was so kind to keep our house neat and clean for when we returned. We are so grateful!
日本人の方にお勧めのシッターさんです。She is the best house sitter you could ask for. We have two crazy giant cats who had been nightmares for the past sitters. I couldn’t enjoy my vacation without receiving continuous calls or texts from them complaining about them. This is my first vacation which I could relax thanks to Yoshiko. She communicated daily with pictures and videos. She left our house cleaner than we left it for her stay also. Both of our crazy cats looked happy to see us when we got home, but they also looked relaxed. We could tell they were well taken care of.
Alice is fantastic. She is punctual, caring and very professional. She’ll take great care of your pet and my little girl is happy to have her around. You’ll feel safe and secure leaving your pet with Alice.
Had to leave town for 2 days and Isabel took care of my cats, one of them needed meds. Thanks so much for special care! The house was left in a perfect state when I came back.
Mira was perfect. The first time my dogs met her they were instantly comfortable with her. She watched them in our home for 10 days while I was on the other side of the country and I had complete confidence they were being loved and well cared for. She took them for frequent walks/runs and made some new friends around the neighborhood. She provided regular updates and pics and was always quick to respond. We even came home to a clean house and fresh sheets! I’ll definitely book her again.
Kat is a terrific dog sitter. She stayed with our two boys at our house and did an amazing job. We received many updates and pictures of the dogs. She even worked on one of our dog's barking issues and kept him pretty quiet. She also managed our other dog's medication/suppliment needs perfectly. They boys obviously had a blast with her with the many videos and pictures of smiling pups we received 🙂Afterwards we received a full recap, a thank you letter and she even washed the sheets/towels she used. Kat was amazing and we recommend her to anyone!!
