“It was our first time having Mia watch our two Siberian Huskies. One can be very stand-offish and Mia understood her personality. She sent texts with pix of our happy dogs. She was a pleasure to meet and the dogs did great with a new person in the house! I will definitely use Mia again.”
“Rosemary was incredibly accommodating, receptive, followed instructions well, and ensured our dogs were safe and happy. I would highly recommend her and would book again. Thank you for your great care!”
“Toni is so wonderful. She takes notes and pays attention to all Instructions and details. She’s one of the true dog lovers, and she is so sweet and attentive to Milo. I will certainly ask Toni to come back and help us out again, especially for long periods of time when we go on vacation. Thank you, Toni!”
“Lucy was so great! We had a last-minute request that she was able to accommodate, she was great at communicating and sent us cute pics of our pup Capri, and Capri loved her! Would definitely book again (:”
“What a wonderful person! My dog absolutely loves her! And so do we. We felt so much better knowing our dog was with someone who would treat him like family. She even watered our garden while we were gone! She is a gem. If I could give her more stars, I would have! Thank you Susan!”
About: I’ve been taking care of my families puppy and my own kitten for about 2 years now ! Ive taken care of other peoples dogs in the past as well! I’m efficient and competent. Im currently a college student, so I spend most of my time at home and just in general I’m a home body. So, I have enough time to care and tend to pets and their needs. I’m very attentive to my own cat and families dog. They both have feeding schedules and are potty trained. I’ve taken my time to make them good pets. I’ve showed the same amount of attention and affection to other peoples pets as well.
“I always worry my dogs will be such a handful for Erik but he always reassures me they are doing fine and he doesn't mind the chaos that is my pack! I hope he loves the dogs as much as I know they love being with him!”
“Debbie is the ultimate professional when it comes to her compassionate, playful care of our Shiloh. We had an opportunity to meet prior to her visit which was wonderful for all of us. She provided updates and videos and information so that we felt completely at ease while away. She left our home more beautiful than when we left it. I am so grateful to have found her and highly recommend her services to anyone in need.”
“Gina did such a great job taking care of the place and making sure I had regular updates and photos throughout my trip. It meant a lot to have that peace of mind. She is truly an animal lover and I am so glad I found her! Definitely would recommend. Excellent job!”
“Thad was prompt, communicative, and great with my dog. He kept the house in good shape and watered the garden as instructed. He is very personable. I enjoyed meeting him and will call him again.”
“As always, amazing experience. Linda adores Alisha and Alisha adores Linda. We goto vacation worry free and come back knowing she is well taken care of. She is leaves the house clean and we feel safe leaving the house with her.”
About: I started my dogsitting business out of my home over 6 years abo and now I petsit at people's homes. Animals are more comfortable at their own home I also have been trained as a dog walker at the Sonoma County Animal Shelter and worked at a dog kennel (now closed...Anderson Acres) I'm a personal trainer that teaches people on Zoom so I am at home most of the day. I am an active person that loves walking dogs and own 2 rescues. I only care for animals in the owner's home. I do not board animals in my home. I make sure that all doors/gates are secure so no animal escapes.

Rosemary was wonderful. She handled everything beautifully and we have a huge menagerie of dogs, cats, chickens, geese, ducks, llamas and goats. One of our dogs needs medicine 2times per day and she handled that perfectly. The dogs and cats loved her. I believe you will be just as pleased as we were with the care and service Rosemary provided.
We can’t say enough good things about Berenice. She was so attentive to our dog and cat while we were gone. She sent daily updates with great photos showing us all that they were doing while we were away, and we could tell they were having a blast. She also took great care of our house and everything was just the way we left it when we came home. We can’t wait to have Berenice come watch our boys again (and they can’t wait either)!
Nyah did a wonderful job watching our cat while we were away. She was very reliable, respectful of our home, and clearly has a great love for animals. Nyah sent pictures and updates while we were gone, and it put my mind at ease to see our cat so happy and well cared for. I will not hesitate to book her services again. 5 stars, very highly recommended!
I've had really bad luck with dog sitters in the past so I have a lot of anxiety around leaving my almost 15 year old shihtzu mix with just anyone. Mia was amazing... I explained to her what had happened with previous sitters and she made every effort to make sure I was as comfortable as possible. She willingly came and met with Weez twice before the confirmed dates. Mia stayed at my apartment and took care of week for a week! She sent me pics and updates and was very communicative. I came home to a clean apartment and a very happy dog! Mia has given me a chance to take vacations and see family again. I could not recommend her enough!! I will be booking with her again!
Olivia did an amazing job taking care of our four pups, which includes a senior French bulldog, two very sweet, but very large and powerful Dogo Argentinos, and a second, very mischievous escape artist French bulldog. She took time to understand each dog’s unique personality and tailors her care to each. She was also extremely communicative, and sent us pics multiple times a day. Highly recommend!
Emma is amazing! We ended up leaving her with an injured dog that needed meds and additional treatment and a sick cat that had to be given pills daily. Her response was: No problem! Her experience as a vet tech was obvious. Upon return the house and our pets were very well taken care of. Thank you Emma!
Leaving a pet behind while traveling is never easy, but Josephine made the experience completely stress-free. She was a fantastic house sitter who took wonderful care of my dog, Emma, and kept me updated with regular messages while I was in Germany. Beyond being great with pets, she also tended to my garden during my two-week absence. If you are looking for someone reliable and attentive, I cannot recommend Josephine highly enough!
Highly recommend Kaitlyn! This was our first time using Rover because we are so picky about our sitters and have always felt very weary about hiring someone we don't know. After our meet and greet we felt at ease knowing our senior chihuahua and 4-month-old great pyrenees puppy were in great hands. Kaitlyn treated our pups with love and our home with care.
Trey does an amazing job with our cats. He is caring and fully attentive to their needs and wants. They look a bit disappointed on our return! He ensures that their specific personality quirks with eating, going outside, demands for petting, etc, are met and way exceeded. We can't recommend Trey highly enough and are repeat customers.
Taiye is the best dogsitter/housesitter ever! Taiye is smart, competent, and trustworthy. This is the second time she has looked after our 2 dogs and our house, and again she did a great job. This time, in April 2026, she cared for, walked, fed, and stayed every night at our house with the dogs for 2-1/2 weeks. Taiye checked in with us and sent us a photo of the dogs every day. She is a great communicator and everything went smoothly, without a hitch. Thanks Taiye! If you want a petsitter and/or housesitter you can trust to care for your house & pets right--Taiye is your person! We 100% recommend Taiye!
As always, Daisy paid attention to the details: playing with TK with the laser pointer even when the lazy monster just wants to lounge, cleaning the cat dish and changing the water each meal time, vacuuming the litter, locking all the doors and latching the screens --- a ton of small things. Plus we come home to a happy, calm cat who has clearly been loved. thanks, Daisy!
