“Kasey was phenomenal! She house and pet sat for me for a little over a week while I was on vacation. From the initial meet & greet through the entire sit, she was great at communicating, asked good questions to make sure my pets got their needs met, and just had a clear love for animals. She sent great updates with lots of photos and even got my very pully pup out on walks every day (not something I require, because he pulls real hard, but something he LOVES). She also worked SO HARD to get my very timid cat out of her shell, playing with her daily, and even convincing her finally to seek some pets and affection. When I say this is miraculous, I'm very serious. I felt totally at ease about my pets well-being with Kasey caring for them. She also kept the house immaculate and even checked on my plants. I will 100% be contacting Kasey for future visits, and I've already recommended her to my sister.”

“We can’t thank Michelle enough for the incredible care she provided to Hampton during our 12 day trip. This was our first extended vacation since Hampton was recently diagnosed with chf, and leaving him was understandably stressful. From our very first meet and greet, Michelle immediately put us at ease with her kindness, confidence, and genuine love for animals. Hampton now requires medication six times a day, and Michelle never hesitated to take on his complex care routine. She made sure he stayed on schedule, kept us updated with thoughtful messages and photos, and treated him like he was her own. Knowing he was in such capable and compassionate hands allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our vacation. We came home to a happy, healthy pup and a spotless home. Michelle exceeded every expectation, and we would not hesitate to book with her again. If you’re looking for someone who is dependable, attentive, and truly goes above and beyond, Michelle is the one. Thank you again for everything! We are so grateful.”

About: Through having dogs myself, dog walking, and taking care of friends dogs for the past 9 years I have experience sitting, walking, and playing with dogs. In the past year I have adopted the sweetest dog named Cariño, a 35 pound terrier mix, and have cared for them through their puppy stages and now into adulthood! I primarily have experience with dogs weighing 10-60 pounds and dogs of all ages. I'm good at taking control of a situation and can also understand when a dog is scared, upset, or just needs a break. I have a car so I can come to you and live walking distance from Lake Merritt. I'm currently working part-time and have plenty of time to go on hikes, walks, or check in on your pup! I am flexible during weekdays and am unavailable on weekends currently. I have experience raising my own currently one and a half year dog. I can easily crate your dog and leave them well-rested. I do not let dogs go outside unleashed unless there are specific instructions to do so. I work part-time and have a flexible schedule so I am happy to make things work with your pet needs whether it's morning, middle of the day, or early evenings. I am not accepting pets in my home because we have a dog and a cat who are a bit sensitive to other pet friends.

“Meshaal was a wonderful dog and house sitter! He has a calm demeanor and is very professional. He took excellent care of our senior dog who has some health needs and took care of all his medications with no issues. He also promptly responded to all our check in messages. Our dog loved Meshaal and and was crying when he left! Meshaal also left our house better than we left it. Looking forward to rebooking with Meshaal again in the future. Would definitely recommend Meshaal to others!”

“Dane was amazing and I’m so relieved to have found such a great sitter on our first go at Rover. He’s extremely communicative and took amazing care of both our cat and dog. We received frequent updates and photos and knew both our babies were in good hands. Our dog was extremely well exercised, and Dane went above and beyond to still check in and greet our cat (while giving her space) who doesn’t do well with people. Dane also went above and beyond to leave our house neater than when he first arrived! Would highly recommend Dane, and I’m so glad to know we have a reliable, trusted sitter for future vacations!”

“Maya was awesome. She came to take care of my two boys. She was prompt and helpful, easy to talk to and work with, and was a great houseguest. She provided updates when asked how the boys are doing. She made sure my dogs got everything they needed, especially extra snuggles. My anxious terrier felt really comfortable with her and Maya was successful with giving my dachshund his daily meds. I will definitely use Maya again the next time I need help caring for my dogs!”

Ava did an outstanding job caring for my dog, Gemma, who has special needs. She followed my instructions carefully and asked thoughtful questions to ensure Gemma received the best possible care. When a health issue arose during my absence, she handled it exceptionally well by keeping me informed, sending photos, and communicating promptly. Fortunately, everything worked out fine. When I returned, Gemma was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Ava also took excellent care of my home and followed all of the condo rules. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely hire her again. I highly recommend her!

Hollie was great with our 7yr old pittie. She stayed in our home for over a week while we were away. She sent us daily pictures and also messaged if there were any concerns or updates. I appreciated that she made sure to follow her routine and any special instructions. We had a lot of peace of mind knowing that not only was our fur baby well taken care of but also loved. I highly recommend her and would be happy to have her take care of Laika again in the future.

Sara was absolutely wonderful with our babies. Both of our animals are pretty anxious, so we were nervous about introducing a new sitter... but it was immediately very clear that Sara put them at ease. She sent regular updates, including pictures showing our pets happy, relaxed, and incredibly well cared for. Sara is a thoughtful, communicative, responsive, snd caring sitter who clearly love animals -- and they love her back! We will definitely be booking her again :)

We adopted our dog only a month ago, and we were a bit nervous about leaving her for a short trip since she was still acclimating to her new home, but once Alejandra came over to meet her, we knew she was in good hands. We especially liked that Alejandra had experience with reactive dogs since our dog is a bit reactive. Alejandra spent 3 nights with her, shared updates and photos, and left our house spotless. We would definitely feel good about leaving our dog with Alejandra again.

Jana took wonderful care of our 13½-year-old miniature poodle, Claire, in our home. She was incredibly loving and attentive to Claire and kept us well-informed with daily updates and lots of photos, which we greatly appreciated. Claire requires daily medication, and Jana followed all instructions carefully. Jana was also an excellent house sitter. We returned to a spotless home and a happy, well-cared-for Claire! I wholeheartedly recommend Jana to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and responsible pet sitter. Thank you so much, Jana!

I was so grateful that Cassandra and her daughter (who’s also on Rover) watched my dog, Shaya, after a very last minute cancellation from another sitter. Shaya can be nervous and a bit reactive, but was immediately comfortable with both, and they each clearly have a lot of experience with dogs. They sent regular photos and videos and took beautiful care of my home. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire them again.

Carly was great for our zoo of 2 cats and 2 dogs. She was willing to come meet the animals quickly before the date of her services since it was so many animals and an overnight stay. She sent so many pictures and video updates it was great! She also messaged with any questions that I was unclear about to make sure that the animals were taken care of as intended. Would highly recommend her!
