1. Lauren W.
“Lauren is so great with Cooper. He is a stubborn 13 year old dachshund and she doesn’t let it phase her. She arrives right on time, sends adorable pictures and lets us know what antics he was up to. We’ve gone on two date nights thanks to Lauren!”
2. Julia F.
“Always responsive and responsible, I know Avo is always in good hands with julia. Highly recommend her.”
3. Isabelle Y.
“Isabelle was communicative and sent pictures and an update. Really appreciated how great she was. Will continue to have her come and take care of my sweet bear on the days I have to be in the office longer than I’d like!”
4. Charlyn G.
“Charlyn was very communicative addressing all the potential needs from the meet and greet to the visit of her time, sharing the care, and took a great care of my cat, Marsh. I’d highly recommend her to anyone.”
5. Emma S.
“Emma really came through for us at the last minute. She was a great communicator. She took good care of our beloved cat, including administering medication twice daily. And we could tell he felt well cared for by his calm temperament when we returned. We look forward to booking Emma again.”
6. Evan R.
“Evan took care of my Ember (German shepherd Doberman) for a whole week, with such extreme love and care. She put in so much effort and went above and beyond. Evan made sure to follow embers schedule and needs while keeping us updated. She made sure ember felt at home with us gone, and she sure did. (It wasn’t just the treats either) Ember misses her so much! We love Evan!”
7. Leyla A.
“I was worried about leaving our cat, Bamtol, for 10 days and 11 nights. I decided to find a cat sitter through Rover and read reviews of cat sitters close to my home, and I found Leyla. It was the best choice for my family and Bamtol. From the photos, videos, and texts Leyla sent me each time she visited our home twice a day, I could tell she truly cared for Bamtol. I think Bamtol felt it too, and after hiding for the first two days, she came out to greet Leyla on the third day. Later, she seemed to stay on the first floor and wait for Leyla. Leyla did everything I asked of her, from food, litter box cleanup, water, and medicine (Bamtol threw up during the time Leyla was taking care of her, so Leyla had to give her four doses of anti-nausea medication that I had prepared in advance), and most importantly, she loved Bamtol with all her heart. While I will never leave Bamtol home alone for this long again, I'm glad to have found a cat sitter I can rely on if I need to leave her home for a Translated with DeepL.com (free version)”
8. Larisa S.
“Larisa was so great watching our two dogs while we were out of town. Our dogs fell in love with her at the meet & greet and we were immediately at ease knowing she would be great with them while we were gone. We were provided updates and pictures throughout the stay and returned home to happy & healthy puppies :) We will absolutely book her again! Thank you!”
9. Ashley T.
“Ashley has always been an animal lover ever since she was little, which is what lead her to choose her career as a veterinary technician which she LOVES. She has years of experience working with all breeds of dogs small and large, shy and aggressive. She can really handle them all and is extremely compassionate and respectful when doing so. She treats others pets as if they were her own.”
10. Sarah F.
“We usually book Sarah for overnight stays, so it was great to see that she also provides drop ins. She was communicative as always and left us feeling confident that our dogs were well taken care of. Thank you, Sarah!”
11. Taylor S.
“Taylor was great with my cat Louie. She sent a ton of pictures and kept me updated on how he was doing. She was great at communicating with me and also asked how she could help accommodate Louie during the heat wave! So appreciative of Taylor and will be using her again. Louie and I recommend her!”
12. Sara D.
“Sara was very considerate and took great care of our three cats! I will definitely be a repeat customer whenever my wife and I are out of town.”
13. Lisa S.
“Lisa watched our two cats over the Thanksgiving Holiday, and my wife and I were amazed at her care, affection, and attention to detail regarding our animals. We have used numerous other sitters in the past and working with Lisa was the first time it actually felt like money well spent. She was very prompt in adhering to the visit schedule we had agreed upon, sent 'update' photos of our cats with every visit, and made sure they even got some much-needed playtime every day. She even volunteered to take out the trash when she saw the other bins out on our street, something we did not expect but very much appreciated. We had a bit of a snafu with our house lock and she contacted us immediately and helped resolve the issue with a locksmith, putting our cats and their needs above anything else. To say she goes above and beyond is an understatement. Finally, I can relax for once over a holiday trip because I'm not concerned with how our cats are doing back home because we know they are in the best hands with Lisa :)”
14. Eric R.
“Eric is the perfect person for any job that involves caring for pets! He is an animal lover and animals absolutely love him. He is extremely responsible, and will make sure your dog is safe, loved, and cared for. There isn't anyone I'd recommend more highly for this job than Eric. His positive attitude, strong work ethic, and reliability will make him a great fit for this job.”
15. Sherry D.
“If I lived back in San Diego still, I would have my dear friend, Sherry walk my dog! You will not find a kinder, more loving dog person anywhere! I love my dog, but Sherry loves all dogs and people, actually. Her dog, Maggie, lived a long healthy life and that is because her mama took such amazing care of her, like she would with anyone's dog. You would be so lucky to have her care for your pet! I'm jealous that I don't live there, so I could have her walk my dog!”
16. Rebecca D.
“Rebecca, is an awesome dog sitter that takes personal interest in dogs and cats ! She is friendly, courteous and extremely active. She loves to hike and has a great demeanor that attracts both animals and humans. She also knows a bunch of cool spots for both humans and dogs to explore together. As a life-long friend of Rebecca's I would trust her with any animal knowing that they are under exceptional care and will have lots of fun !! I believe that Rebecca is the best dog and cat sitter a person can find :)”
17. Alejandro M.
“My baby absolutely loved you! Your energy really shines and I know Hubby really appreciated you spending time with him :) I’ll make sure to rebook with you next business trip!”
18. Laura D.
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was young. Up until recently, my family had a dog named Olive, who unfortunately passed away from cancer. I am looking for some pet therapy in the form of dog walking and pet care. I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time on days I don’t work to give some tender loving care and attentions to the pets that I care for. I have a big grass area right next to my house where neighborhood dogs love to come play. I am trustworthy, kind, and looking forward to getting some exercise alongside your pet!
19. Hanna S.
“Hanna is responsible, professional, timely, and very neat! Hanna has a great personality too! I will definitely refer to friends in the area and book again.”
20. Victoria M.
“Victoria was awesome. So friendly and excellent with our dog. He loved staying at her beautiful home. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, loving dog sitter.”
