“Annie was amazing. She took such good care of our pups. More importantly, she followed the instructions we left to a T. We didn’t have to worry at any point about the dogs. Highly recommend and will definitely rebook.”
About: Hello! I have done Dog Rescue for 20+ years. This includes fostering and walking all types of breeds and ages of dog, though I specialized in small breeds. This also included lots of cleaning up after dogs! My mother and brother do dog rescue with me, so dogs are a family affair for me. In recent years I have fostered many litters of puppies, all small breed. I have owned dogs in the past, but right now I am dog free. My previous dog sitting experience has included up to 10 dogs at once. I can give medications as needed, or any special needs your dog may have. I am available on weekends and holidays. I look forward to meeting you and your dog! I have an extremely flexible hybrid work schedule, so I have a lot of time to spend with you and your pet! I am a home body and would rather be home with a dog than out. I am more than willing to watch dogs in my home, since I often foster dogs there. My home is “dog proof”. I also have no issues with going to other places to dog sit.
“Elizabeth was great with Bo.She also made sure we had updates on how he was doing while we were away. We love having her take care of our boy if she’s available . We would recommend her to anyone needing dog sitting services !”
About: Hi! I just moved from Boston to Costa Mesa. I have a hybrid role in finance so I have flexibility to hang out with your pet. I have worked with pets of all ages, sizes, and backgrounds for the last few years. I currently don’t have any pets of my own :( I am primarily on rover for fun to spend time with animals and I am so excited! Your pets safety and happiness is my priority. - experience with walking, washing, training dogs - dog sat for neighbors and friends since I was young - began officially dog sitting in my hometown doing house sitting with dogs, taking care of elderly dogs, dog walking - love to teach dogs new tricks! Available for boarding/drop ins on weekends. Available for walks/drop ins most days depending on the time (just let me know what works!). Typically available for anything else after 2 PM most weekdays. I am near a handful of parks and dog parks where I typically walk many dogs. My neighborhood has a lot of dogs that walk in the area.
“Serena was amazing! She took such great care of our Frenchie and truly went above and beyond. She even stayed late when our flight was delayed, which we appreciated so much. Our pup was happy and well-loved the whole time. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Holli is professional, respectful, and communicative while house sitting for Bruno. And her dog, Woody was a fantastic companion to my dog. I highly recommend Holli (and Woody 😊)! I will definitely use their services again.”
“This was my second time using Rover and I was really nervous. We have had the same dog sitter for about three years now but she is pregnant and due to give birth any day so she was unavailable. Annalie was an AMAZING communicator - incredibly prompt and so nice. Annalie came over for a meet and greet and a tour of the home and agreed it would work! Annalie watched our 12.5 year old French bulldog who has some medical things to be mindful of. We got videos and pictures and checks in as frequently as I requested in the app. I will 100% use Annalie again and I highly recommend!”
About: I’ve worked at a doggy daycare for over a year, gaining hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds and ages. I’m patient, reliable, and passionate about providing safe, loving care tailored to each dog’s needs — from playful pups to gentle seniors. Pet care easily fits into my daily routine since I already work at a doggy daycare. When I’m not there, I’m spending time with my own dogs—taking them on walks, to the park, and keeping them active. My flexible schedule allows me to provide consistent, reliable care for other pets too. Since I live with my family, I don’t bring pets into my home, but I’m happy to care for them in their own space. I always make sure to get a full tour and all the important details before sitting, so I can keep their routine consistent. I also love sending lots of pictures and videos to keep owners updated and comfortable.
About: I’ve grown up having dogs and cats my whole life! They bring me so much joy, and life is so much better with our fluffy friends. Growing up, I’ve been blessed with Shih Tzu’s, a Maltese, a labradoodle, a golden doodle, Siamese cats, a tuxedo cat, and a ragdoll. Besides my own pets, I have lots of experience pet sitting Dalmatians, German Shepherds, and indoor/outdoor cats. I love to spend time with them and will ensure they have everything they need to be happy and healthy. I also have lots of experience administering medicine. I promise to love your fur baby and treat them as I would my own. ❤️ I will talk to them, sing to them, and of course, spoil them! I’m a full-time musician and my week days are usually very flexible. I have shows during evenings and weekends, but I can always make time to check in on your pets for potty and feeding times. With my own dogs and cats, I know how important attention and quality time are for their health and happiness. I will follow your instructions on your pet’s needs, including walks, feeding times, treats, medications, and play!
“I can’t thank Sabrina enough for taking care of my dog while I was out of town! She did a fantastic job, providing daily updates and pictures that reassured me my furry friend was happy and safe. It was clear that my dog was well loved and cared for during my absence, which is top priority! Thanks to Sabrina’s excellent communication, I was able to relax and truly enjoy my time away. I highly recommend her services to anyone in need of a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
“Alice is fantastic. She is punctual, caring and very professional. She’ll take great care of your pet and my little girl is happy to have her around. You’ll feel safe and secure leaving your pet with Alice.”
About: As a mom of four and an empty nester, caring for others comes naturally to me. I’ve had dogs my whole life and am completely comfortable with pets of all sizes and personalities. I currently spend my time caring for seniors, so patience and attentiveness are second nature. I speak both English and Spanish and treat every dog as if they were part of my own family. I spend Monday through Wednesday at a senior home but have a flexible schedule and reliable transportation. I’m available for pet care the rest of the week (and Monday-Wednesday, as needed) and can adjust as needed for your pet's routine. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment and am very comfortable caring for dogs in smaller spaces. I make sure pets get plenty of walks, attention, and love.
“I have avoided booking any vacations unless family was available to watch all four of my best needy fur babies but I’m so glad we chose to trust Unitee with them. She not only made me feel so comfortable the entire time I was thousands of miles away but also made them feel comfortable as well. We will most certainly be using her services any time we go away or even just for a quick walk!”
About: I’ve recently discovered I am a dog person. After being a super mom to my two kids it definitely translates to animals. I’m caring, attentive and dependable. I am a very happy person and I have a lot of love to give I work from home a few hours a day and I make my own schedule. Perfect for dog sitting and play time that is needed I’m a 48yo responsible adult with a clean 3bed 3 bath townhome. There is a grass yard 30 ft from my door. I pride myself on being dependable and loyal
Shadow Run pet parents share their Rover experiences
Dreama is absolutely amazing! I knew she was a good fit right away when one of my shy cats was begging her for attention before the meet and greet was even finished. All of the animals loved her, and she took excellent care of them while we were gone. She was attentive to all of their needs, and with 4 pets, that can be a lot! I received daily check ins, updates, and multiple photos while we were away, and she was very quick to communicate. She is very thoughtful, too. I wasnt worried about our pets the entirety of our trip because I knew they were in good hands. I cannot recommend her enough!
We were traveling from Canada to Tustin and needed someone to watch our dog Winnie while we are at Disneyland. We’ve never left him with anyone before (only his groomer) so we were very nervous leaving him behind but Angie was great! She agreed to meet us the day before and that really helped to ease our minds. She sent us regular updates during the day and our pup clearly had a great time :)
My second time booking Vivien to watch Zyon in our home! She is very responsive, gives real time updates and sends pics and videos. She is calm and patient with my dog who can be excitable and anxious at times. I will continue to book with her and recommend!
Danielle did an amazing job watching Brandy at my home. She was reliable, respectful of my space, and gave Brandy lots of love and attention. I really appreciated her regular updates and photos—it was such a relief knowing both my pup and my home were in great hands. I came back to a happy dog and a tidy home. I’d highly recommend Danielle and would be glad to book her again!
She took such good care for all of our pets and updates in detail everyday which is super helpful and relief so we could fully enjoy our trip. She is very responsible and respectful. She left our home cleaner than we left it. We plan on booking chloe again for our next trip. We highly recommend chloe for any pet sitting needs.
This was our second time booking Will, but our first time having him house sit for us. We couldn’t be more pleased with the care that Will provided for our 2 dogs! He also left our home very clean! We will continue to book Will for all our future pet sitting needs! :)
Matt and Bella were great pet sitters. There communication and punctuality were perfect - amazing!!!! We have 4 raucous dogs - 3 are over 50 pounds and Matt was so calm with them that they greeted him like an old friend. We received regular updates and photos, which are so appreciated, especially being a nervous pet parent. It's always so nice to come home after a busy weekend and the house was in perfect order and the pups were happy - Ahhhhh! I highly recommend Matt and Bella to provide your pet and housesitting needs. Thank you so much!
