“Lily was an amazing house sitter and took such great care of our dog Marley! She sent daily updates with photos and we knew Marley was well exercised with daily walks and given lots of love. We came home to a clean house and a very happy dog. I highly recommend Lily and will definitely hire her again. Thank you Lily!!”

“Wow! Alesha is truly a gem. Not only did she capture the most precious pictures of my puppy, but I know my puppy was taken care of with expertise! Alesha is a great communicator and so flexible! I would be happy to have her watch my fur baby any day!”

I am currently not working so my schedule is open. I am able to work after 9:30 am and I can watch your dog at your house over night. I have a fenced in yard so my dogs do not leave the yard.

“Donatella is AMAZING! It was my first time using Rover and I chose her because of the great reviews from her clients and thought I'd take a chance on her. Turns out, it was a great decision. I have a senior dog that has severe separation anxiety and cannot be left alone. Donatella was so kind and patient with my baby. She even sent me updates several times throughout the day. I highly recommend her for all services in her expertise.”

About: Greetings, pet parents! I’ve been compassionately caring for animals for over 30 years. I have a degree in biology and studied zoology and botany which led me to being an animal keeper at the San Diego Zoo for several years. I have experience with all breeds, ages, and sizes - including cats, birds, reptiles, and horses. I’m responsible, mature, and take care of other peoples pets as if they were my own. I love giving them lots of love and attention! I have many wonderful past reviews from a different site. I can gladly send screenshots upon request. I work remotely during the week 7am-3:30pm so I can conveniently provide care throughout the day. I enjoy walking, hiking and just being outside in nature- so having a friend to join me would be wonderful. A huge part of pet sitting in someone’s home is Trust. I maintain a clean home and ensure privacy and security. This means locking all doors, double checking gates are closed, keeping pets on leash at all times (unless specifically instructed not to), and following directions. I’m a mature, professional woman and I do not use substances, alcohol, nor coffee. I am typically very quiet and love to just enjoy the peaceful moments in life. I am sensitive, caring, and compassionate which means I will be treating your pet with the utmost love and kindness- as you can clearly see in my photos.

“Paris was great with all our pets. She sent photos and regular updates so we didn’t worry. She also let us know when she completed tasks that we asked her to do (mail, trash, pay the gardener). We will definitely use her services again!”

About: Hi! I’m Jeanette, and I love spending time with furry friends of all kinds! I’m active and enjoy taking dogs on walks and runs, so your pup will get plenty of exercise and adventure. I’m also a total cat person - I’ve had 3 cats of my own and currently have an adorable Shih Tzu at home. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. Whether your furry friend loves energetic playtime or prefers quiet cuddles, I’ll give them the care and attention they deserve. I’ll treat your pet like family! I currently have a lot more availability and more flexible and open to whichever time works for you let me know, and we can talk more about it. When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize maintaining their usual routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I ensure they receive their meals, medications, and exercise exactly as specified by you. I respect your space and privacy, making sure to leave your home as neat as it was when I arrived. Regular updates and photos keep you connected to your pet’s day-to-day activities. Safety is paramount, so I always ensure that all doors and gates are secure, and your pet is safe at all times

“Chase is wonderful. Mature, responsible and reliable. My Bella took to him immediately and they shared a great time while I was away. He will be my go-to guy whenever I travel.”

“We had a last minute cancelation for a dog sitter. Holly was able to house and dog sit with short notice while we were out of the country. Our fur-babies were well taken care of. Will use Holly again!”

Raelene R.

“We would work with Jenilee again. She did a meet & greet and asked good questions before we went out of town. She sent photos of the pets each day and was flexible with our return time on her last daysince we were driving. She kept us updated and cleaned up after one of the dogs got into the garbage. She also responded to text messages and questions before and during her stay.”

M M.

“Maci took great care of my sweet girl. She provided regular updates and photos and I feel my dog was well taken care of. I wound totally recommend Maci as a sitter. Thank you!”

Kimberly M.

“I’m so grateful we found Terra! She took excellent care of our girl—I could tell in all the photos she sent that my dog felt safe and happy. She was conscientious in her questions to ensure she gave Koa the right care, and I came back to a spotless home! I can’t recommend Terra enough, and we certainly hope she hangs out with Koa again in the future.”

“Anna took great care of our pups while we were out of town. We have one dog that doesn't always love people right away but warmed up to her immediately when they met!”

“I was so nervous about leaving my dog with a stranger for 3 days, but Claudia went above and beyond to make me feel at ease. She was kind enough to meet my dog beforehand to make sure it was a good fit—and my dog loved her instantly. She even rolled over for belly rubs, which she never does for anyone new! While I was away, Claudia sent me tons of photos and videos, which made me feel so connected. I had left very specific door-training instructions (my dog must sit before the door is opened, and the hallway must be cleared before the release command). Claudia followed these perfectly, which was really important to me for safety and consistency. When I came home, my house was spotless—honestly cleaner than when I left. Even my Brita was filled to the top! And the sweetest surprise of all: it was my dog’s birthday while I was away, and Claudia threw her a mini birthday party. She sent me photos of my dog in rainbow birthday hats, a princess sash, with balloons and a new toy. It meant the world to me to see someone else celebrate my dog with so much love. She also shared the cutest little updates, like how my dog would wake up around 2 or 3 a.m., give her a kiss, then go back to bed. It’s the small details like that that showed me she truly cared and kept our routine. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. My dog adored her, and I’ve already recommended Claudia to my coworkers. I’ll definitely be hiring her again—not just for overnight stays but for occasional walks too, so they can keep their sweet bond going.”

“I had a house/dog sitter lined up but the had a family emergency and bailed on 6 days before I was leaving town. After searching, begging, and panicking, I got a response for Shea who was on board with the work and timeframe! He was very communicative, sending me messages regularly and responding quickly. He kept in the loop about my pets (dog and hamsters). And, one of the most important factors for me, he was kind and enjoyed being with the animals. He has experience with dogs so knows how to work with them and my dog behaved well and listened to him. When we got back my dog was a little confused - this was the first time we had ever left her with another person so we knew that she would be and Shea hung out a few minutes and we talked about some of the many many things he does while we acclimated a bit. My dog has an abuse history but with Shea she wasn't jumpy at all, she was comfortable and felt safe - that alone was a huge sign to me - just seeing how she reacted after a week with him and she was happy, comfortable, and calm. Oh and he pointed out an owie she got while we were gone so we could get it taken care of. Thanks Shea! I highly recommend him to others looking for someone!”
