“Mariia and Ethan were great! Excellent communicators, happy and well exercised pup and a clean house upon return. You couldn’t ask for anything more. They are responsive and responsible. We will be using them again!”

“Grant exceeded all of our expectations! This was our first time leaving our dogs with someone outside of friends or family, and he instantly put us at ease. He was communicative, asked thoughtful questions, and truly cared about making sure our pups were comfortable. Our dogs had a great time with him, and he was wonderfully flexible with timing and their different needs. We’re so grateful, and already looking forward to booking with Grant again!”

“We cannot recommend Yan highly enough. She takes her job seriously. She was very communicative with us while we were away via texts and pics. We could tell the dogs warmed up to her immediately. The house was immaculate when we returned. We’ve already booked her for our next getaway. Five stars!”

“Emily is just great!! She had a natural ease and care with my little one that shows how much she understands and loves dogs. It was so easy to trust my dog and home to her care. Excellent communication in both planning and day-of. Don’t hesitate to hire her!”

“Maggie was wonderful to work with! She was easy to communicate with from start to finish, sent photos every day, and was very attentive to our dog. We felt completely comfortable knowing our home and pet were in such good hands. We would happily book with her again and highly recommend her to others.”

“Tania is fabulous. I came home to a tidy house and happy dogs. She kept me up to date with photos and news on the pups daily. I will hire Tania again. This was also very last minute and I was able to trust her right away. I am very thankful I took a chance with Rover. It worked out well.”


“Marion was very responsive, sent updates of my dog while we were gone, and was respectful of our home! I definitely felt comfortable my dog was in good hands which helps when you’re away from home❤️”

“Joytika stayed with my senior cat Taylor and did a great job of attending to her special needs, socializing with her, and looking after her and my apartment over two weeks during the holiday months. When I returned the apartment was just as I had left it, and Taylor was clearly happy with having a new friend and sitter while I was away. Would recommend booking Joytika!”

About: I’ve done pet sitting for years, and know the kind of care that dogs need. I work remotely and also have my own dog, a sweet golden retriever who gets along well with others. Besides the basics of bathroom breaks and walks, dogs need love! I want to give dogs a safe and happy experience in my home! I love to work out, and I would enjoy being able to bring a dog along with me! You can expect frequent runs or hikes, as well as lots of care and attention! I work remotely (same with my husband) and frequently take my own dog out. I can be flexible to your pets needs depending on whatever they need! I can also help with medications, special feedings, etc. I make sure a pet is feeling safe, secured, and loved. I treat any home as if it were my own and any dog as such as well.
“Jodi too excellent care of our two pups, one being a high energy, high needs Border Collie! She also took great care of our home and and checked in with us as discussed prior to the house sitting. Would definitely recommend her for house sitting without reservation!”

“Jody is an exceptional dog sitter who provided outstanding care for our 7-year-old Border Collie during a 10-day house sitting stay. She was incredibly attentive, sending regular updates that kept us reassured and connected while away. Jody’s passion for animals was evident in her attentive care, keeping our dog happy, active, and at ease throughout her stay. She left our home spotless and well maintained, exceeding all expectations. We couldn’t have asked for a more reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter—Thank you Jody!”

“Mia is someone we always request to watch our dogs. She stayed at our house for 9 nights. Not only did she send us daily pics & cute updates but she helped flag a water heater issue that would have damaged our new floors in the kitchen. She is so sweet & our dogs love her!”


About: I have four wonderfully chaotic pets of my own (3 cats named Pumpkin, Grapefruit, and Juno, and one large dog named Stella), and have been with all but Juno since they were babies! I'm a Stanford student looking for pets to care for and keep me company as I work. I have house-sit, cat-sit, and dog-sit for neighbors and friends, and am excited to meet your furry friends! I enjoy waking up early and getting outdoor time in, and would love to walk or jog with your pets both in the morning and afternoon if they'd like! Since I'm working remotely, I'll be in the home for a good part of the day and will be able to keep an eye on everyone :) I recognize the privilege I have to be a guest in another's home, and treat spaces with as much (and honestly, more) respect and love as I would my own!
“Aoife watched my home, my dog and my cat for a week. She was conscientious, attentive and communicative. And my animals loved her! I would definitely hire her again and I would highly recommend her to other pet parents. Thanks Aoife!”

“This was our first time using Rover so we were a bit apprehensive. Veronica was great. She watched our dog today so we could do a 1/2 day rafting trip. She was punctual and took him for a few walks. It worked out perfectly.”


About: Howdy I’m Serena! I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. Growing up, I raised and looked after a variety of animals—including turtles, bunnies, and kittens—which taught me early on that every pet has their own personality, needs, and boundaries. As I got older, I became the go-to person for walking dogs and helping friends and neighbors care for their pets, gaining experience with everything from large, high-energy dogs to shy small pets and senior cats. Core Skills & Experience: -Comfortable with all sizes and temperaments (large dogs, small dogs, cats, kittens, seniors) -Kitten & puppy care, including play, supervision, and positive engagement -Senior pet care with patience, gentle handling, and routine consistency -Skilled with high-energy pets and structured walks/playtime -Strong at building trust with shy or anxious animals -Cat-focused care: playful engagement + respecting boundaries and cues -Detail-oriented with feeding schedules, routines, and updates -Experience managing multiple pets at once -Basic pet CPR knowledge (not certified, but familiar with emergency response) What sets me apart is my ability to adapt to each animal. Whether that means keeping up with an energetic dog who needs structure and exercise, or taking a slower, more gentle approach with older pets who need extra care and consistency, I focus on meeting them where they are. I especially love caring for cats. I enjoy playing with them, keeping them mentally engaged, and just as importantly, respecting their boundaries. I pay close attention to their behavior and take the time to build trust at their pace—something that’s especially important for shy or more independent cats. Above all, my goal is simple: to make your pet feel happy, secure, and cared for—like you never left. For safety and peace of mind, I also make it a strict rule to never board dogs and cats together, ensuring a calm and secure environment for every pet in my care. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work full-time on a hybrid schedule, which gives me extra flexibility—especially on Mondays and Fridays when I’m home and have more availability for walks, drop-ins, and quality time with your pets. I’m also available for boarding on weekends (including Fridays), and I make sure to dedicate plenty of time for play, exercise, and attention so your pet never feels overlooked. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and engaging environment for every pet. I live in a spacious apartment with a loft setup, giving pets plenty of room to relax and explore, and I have access to a nearby hiking trail that’s perfect for walks and outdoor play for dogs of all sizes. For cats, I provide a clean, enriched space with toys and scratching areas to keep them mentally stimulated. I always follow each owner’s instructions closely and adapt to your pet’s specific needs, routines, and personality. For added safety and peace of mind, I maintain a strict rule of never boarding dogs and cats together, ensuring a secure and stress-free environment for all animals.
“Krystle very lovingly cared for my puppies and was soooo patient with their potty training! She was an excellent houseguest--brought in our mail and packages, brought in our garbage cans, and washed her own linens and puppies laundry before our return. She sent daily pics and updates assuring us the puppies were getting exercised, cared for, and cuddled. The house and puppies were in excellent condition on our arrival. Thank you so much, Krystle; you made our vacation extra enjoyable!”

We cannot recommend Yan highly enough. She takes her job seriously. She was very communicative with us while we were away via texts and pics. We could tell the dogs warmed up to her immediately. The house was immaculate when we returned. We’ve already booked her for our next getaway. Five stars!

Emma is wonderful. She took care of our two kittens while we were traveling, and you could tell she has experience with animals. She liked to interact with the kittens, provided helpful suggestions and information (especially to two new cat owners), and you could tell she really cared about them. We would feel confident reaching out to her again.

We are so greatful for Marissa watching our dog! She was available last minute. She arrived early so we could go over everything for our dog and did everything we asked. She was great with communication and picture updates lol and by the time we got home our pup was exhausted :) which is hard to do! Definitely recommend and would use again. Thank you !
