“Danielle stayed in my home for 5 days with my 2 dogs and 2 cats. She took great care of them- one of my dogs needed unexpected antibiotics which she just worked into their routine with ease. The house was in perfect order upon my return, my animals happy and healthy. Fantastic job and lots of pictures and feedback! Thank you so much Danielle!”

“Katherine was amazing, she took good care of my girl and my home while I was out of town and for that I am grateful! She even washed the sheets and ran the vacuum... above and beyond! Definitely recommend and will book again. Thanks again Katherine.”

“Amber/Ash was fantastic with my cats. She connected with them easily, kept their schedule, and was respectful and kind with all of us. They were clearly content and yet happy to see me when I returned. She was flexible when I decided to return a day earlier than planned and was responsive on the app when texting her. I'd have her back anytime!”

“Alison is a very loving and dependable pet caretaker. She responds daily with updates and photos, and responds quickly to all of our needs. She has not only taken out dog to the vet while we were away, but also stayed an extra night when our plane was delayed. We felt very secure knowing that she was taking care of our 2 dogs while we were on vacation.”


“It was great having Kaitlynn watch over our place while we were away. We were reassured that our cat was getting his required meds, as well as love and attention in our absence.”

“Madison was absolutely wonderful!! She has watched our pack of 4 dogs and 2 cats twice now and we felt safe each time knowing our animals were in great care. She even got our very nervous dog to warm up to her and snuggle her! I highly recommend Madison for any pet sitting, we will be using her again in the future for sure!”

“Pleasant to work with. Very accommodating with a last minute reservation. Helped keep our travels stress free. Definitely recommend and will be rebooking if needed the services”

“Thank you so much for watching over our babies. I felt super comfortable since we did do a meet and greet before the actual babysitting. She sent pictures every day and we really did feel like they were in great hands. Will definitely book again.❤️🙏🏼”


“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 are so pleased with the way Annette took care of our elderly cat and our house. She kept in touch with us the whole time, sending pictures and letting us know how our cat was doing. Can't recommend her enough and certainly plan to use her in the future!”

“Chesnie was a great sitter and I feel lucky to have found her! She was fantastic at communicating with me about my dog re updates/pics/videos. She also was proactive in communicating her plans and when she would be away from the house. She left the house in good condition and I can tell my dog was well cared for. I also had an issue with my return travel and she was able to come back to take care of him, even though that wasn’t part of our original plan. I would definitely recommend Chesnie to other pet owners and I hope to have her again in the future! Thank you Chesnie!”

“Elena was truly amazing in every sense of the word. Our babies loved her and she loved them. She made us feel comfortable while we were away from them for the first time in a long time and sent us so many updates and pictures! It was our puppy’s first vacation and Elena took the utmost care of her (and all of our fur babies). I’d so highly recommend her to foranyone at any time. We cannot wait to have her come stay again.”

“Sydney was awesome. She took great care of our dog and cat, and sent us photos of them eating, playing and sleeping. She also watered our plants, filled the bird feeders outside and checked the mail daily. Our pets loved her, and we plan to have Sydney back again!”

“Presley was attentive and loving to our babies. They loved her! She is very polite and punctual. She cleaned up before she left and even took the trash out. We will book with her again!”


“Denise was awesome taking care of our home and Izzy while we were on vacation. She sent updates and communicated and even helped Izzy when our pest control showed up unexpectedly. She took care of all our plants and made sure Izzy was loved while we were on it of the country.”

“Alora was again outstanding at caring for our pet! We received multiple pictures daily showing a very happy and content pup. Alora is also very aware of the neighborhood wild animals as well as his pet friends and makes appropriate adjustments on walks. All was great with the house as well allowing us a carefree holiday. Thank you Alora!!”

“Dina is fantastic! We were super happy about her watching over Charly ( crazy youg goldenretriever) and Lilly (cat). All went so well with the animal and her entire stay. She is definitely a responsible person. We will have her again with no hesitation! See you soon again, Dina. Emmie and Patrick”


“Robyn was fantastic! She was very communicative and gave lots of love to our pets when we were out of town. She sent us pictures and updates throughout the day. Our house was clean and tidy when we got home and our pets were happy and well taken care of! We will definitely look to rebook with her in the future.”

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.

Larissa did an outstanding job taking care of our girl! She kept up well informed on how things were going and provided us with a bunch of pictures, which helped us not miss Hidee quite so much. With Larissa's care, Hidee bounced back from us leaving her, coming around much faster than she normally does when we aren't around. We'll happily use Larissa's services again.
