“We are new to Rover. We met Madison at the park prior to our booking to make sure it was a good fit for her and our two beagles. She was on time and easy to talk to. We could tell the dogs were going to be fine with her. We had left her with a document of the dogs' daily routine. She did great following the instructions. While on our trip, she would text us updates and pictures. That was very thoughtful of her to do that. It made being away easier on us. The hardest part of taking care of our dogs is walking them because one likes to bark at everything and pull and the other one likes to lunge at cars. She did great and to our surprise, they behaved better for her! We would highly recommend her to anyone that needs a dog/house sitter.”

“Dina is amazing! She took care of my 6 animals, including 4 herding dogs, and when I came home they were obviously well taken care of. Dina sent me daily photos and was very communicative. I will definitely be using Dina in the future!”


“Christina did a wonderful job with our dog and 2 cats. She was professional, arranging a meetup and taking seriously all our pets needs. She went above and beyond to make our pets and ourselves feel secure. She provided regular updates and took plenty of photos. She kept our house clean and even provided toys for the pets. We recommend Christina for anyone needing her services.”

“We were so glad that Elizabeth was able to watch our dogs again! It’s such a peace of mind knowing that they are well taken care of with Elizabeth and we feel less anxious about leaving them. Elizabeth sends pictures and updates which we really appreciate. Thank you Elizabeth!”

“Chesnie did a fantastic job with my dog Sammy. She sent pictures daily while they were out in their walks. Sammy had some tummy issues while Chesnie was watching him and she handled the situation perfectly, making sure I knew Sammy was taken care of. I would highly recommend Chesnie to care for your pets!”

“Brianna did a great job watching our house and elderly pup! She had great communication and we appreciated the frequent updates and images. Our house looked just as good as we left it, nothing out of the ordinary. We’ll definitely be using her in the future!”

“Kara was perfect. Flexible for our crazy schedule. Reports were delivered just in time to quell my anxiety. The Bear looked VERY comfortable with her and her pup. I will definitely work with Kara again when we’re back in Tucson.”

“Amber stayed at my house and took care of my dog, cat and lizard for 4 days. I felt comfortable having her at my home and she took great care of my pets! I would highly recommend her!”

“This was Alison’s second time staying with Snacks and we hope she will be back for more. Great updates, happy, comfortable pup and a clean house. We are so thankful for the wonderful care she provides!”

“Danielle was amazing! Our pets did great under her care. Even our skittish cat warmed up to her! She took care of our house like it was hers. We’ll definitely be repeat customers!”

“Korrina was amazing with our Golden while we were out of town for the weekend. She communicated often and was reliable. She left our home clean and took good care of it while we were away. Would definitely book her again!”

“Oliver was awesome! We really appreciate him watching our 3 boys. Our boys can be and handful and Oliver made sure that all their needs were met. Can’t wait to book with him again in the future!”

About: I’ve been caring for all kinds of furry animals for several years and absolutely love spending time with them. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, and other furry companions, and I’m comfortable adapting to each animal’s unique needs, personality, and routine. I’m experienced with feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their pets, and I always treat every animal like my own. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet have a positive, stress-free experience. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member soon! I’m available every day for pet care and would love the opportunity to spend time with your pets! I have a daytime work schedule during the week, but for house sitting, I’m able to stay in your home, care for your pets in the morning before heading out, and return after work to continue their routine and spend quality time with them. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual schedule and make sure they continue receiving the care and attention they’re used to. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy, and I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I know every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and little quirks. Whether your pet loves going on walks, playing with their favorite toys, cuddling on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’m happy to meet them where they’re comfortable. I’ll make sure your pets receive consistent care throughout your time away, including meals, fresh water, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of attention and affection. I’m also attentive to keeping their environment clean and making sure everything is left just as I found it. When you’re away, I want your pets to feel as comfortable and secure as possible in their own home. I understand that leaving your pets with someone new can be stressful, so I do my best to provide reliable communication, regular updates, and lots of reassurance. My goal is for you to feel confident knowing your pets are being cared for, loved, and treated like they’re my own while you’re away. 🐾💕 When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding, fresh water, walks, litter box cleaning if needed, playtime, and giving them plenty of attention. I also make sure the home stays neat and send updates so owners know their pets are doing well.
“Brandon was great! I rebooked with him to extend my trip and he was flexible and communicative about the changes. He was kind and very attentive to my two cats and to me.”

“Jennifer took great care of my senior dog and cat while I went out of town! I really appreciated the frequent updates and photos. I returned to my girls happy and healthy, I can tell they got lots of love. Highly recommend and will rebook in the future! Thank you so much Jennifer!!”

“Elena was great with my temperamental dog. She always communicates and is very helpful with everything. I really appreciated all she did to keep my pets happy while I was out of town.”

“Lacey did an outstanding job with Leroy and really focused on him while I was away. She is someone you can trust around your pet to ensure all their need are taken care of. If you need a sitter or walker, Lacey is your person!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Santa Cruz Southwest
Our pup is 120lb Boerboel and Maddison was excellent with him. We had newly adopted him and only had him 4 weeks when we needed a sitter. She had experience with giant breeds which was a great match for us. He was nervous and scared of her at first, but she was patient and thoughtful with him. By the end of the week, they were having a great time. She sent tons of pictures and was excellent with communication! We will definitely be requesting her again.

Leticia was wonderful. I highly recommend her. She communicates well, took great pictures, kept us informed about Scarlett and followed all of our directions. She made us feel comfortable while we were away and took good care of Scarlett. We would definitely use her again.
Kayla, did a wonderful job taking care of my two dogs, two tortoises, garden and house. She sent messages and pictures daily. Kayla gave love and needed medication to my dogs. I highly recommend her for house sitting and pet watching. I definitely will use her again.

Evelyn is fantastic! ❤️ We definitely will recommend her and we will book again soon with her! She is sweet, responsible, professional and communicative. My dog Leo was sick and she took care of him. This gave us so much peace while we were traveling. She send us videos and photos and that was a plus! Thank you Evelyn

We feel very fortunate to have Dakota caring for our home and our fur family (1 big old dog, and 2 cats). He cared for them and sent us updates and pictures everyday as to how things were going at home, and specifically, with our fur family. We came home to a clean home and pets who were happy to see us, but not at all stressed. We will definitely call on Dakota again, and we're relieved to have a plan should we choose to leave home for business or pleasure going forward. I certainly imagine you would have the same experience with Dakota!

Charlotte was a great sitter for my elderly dog. She really loves animals and was so kind to my dog Betty. She housesat for me and always communicated well and my home and Betty were in perfect shape when we got home. She was able to troubleshoot when Betty had potty accidents in the home and made sure to send lots of photos. Would book again and recommend.
