1. Caroline R.
“Caroline was FABULOUS with our little dog. We went on a fairly long trip overseas and wanted him to be able to stay at home rather than at the kennel. She was great about sending updates, playing with him, and exercising him. She’s very punctual, responsible, and communicative. Would 100% recommend!”
2. Robert C.
“He proactively asked to meet before the walk to meet my dog Lucy and I, and to see where things in the house would be kept such as the leash, dog bags, etc. He wrote personalized summaries of their walks, filled the water bowl and left the light on as asked. Excellent dog walker with a lot of dog experience pre-dating Rover.”
3. Jason H.

About: I've been a pet owner my whole life. I'm very familiar with all aspects of pet care and would love to help you when you need your fur baby to be well cared for while you're away from home. I'm an empty nester who would love to help you take care of your fur babies. I know the stress of taking care of pets and know what a relief it is to find someone reliable and trustworthy. I'm open to caring for your pets in your home. I know how important it is to have a trustworthy pet sitter for times when you can't be at home due to work or travel.

7. Oi Ching Vanessa C.
“We needed to travel to Chicago for a week and Vanessa did an excellent job with taking care our lovely Loki. She was always on time, spent quality time playing with and walking Loki, and made sure to follow Loki's dietary restriction. Overall, both Loki and I are very satisfied with her service!!”
8. Justen Q.
“I cannot recommend Justen enough! While we’re on vacation or even just for a few hours he takes exceptional care of our dog, going above and beyond to ensure he was happy and well-exercised. Justen took him on long walks daily and kept me updated with pictures and messages. It was clear that he genuinely cared for my dog and treated him as if he were their own. Always giving me peace of mind while I am away! Best sitter ever!”

10. Eunju(Julie) K.
“Hey Eunju! Just wanted to drop you a quick note to say thanks for looking after Momo. I appreciate it! I saw the pics you sent, and it looked like he had a good time. Thanks for making sure he didn't get too bored or lonely. You're a lifesaver! I know Momo can be a bit picky, but you handled it like a pro. Coming home to a happy cat is the best feeling, and I couldn't have done it without you. If I ever need someone to watch him again, I'll be hitting you up. Thanks again for taking care of my furry buddy. Cheers,”

13. Lauren R.
About: Growing up, I've cared for 3 family dogs, 7 cats, 5 tortoises, and 2 cockatiels. I've been a sitter for many cats and dogs since age 14. I have 3 cats now and they're my world! I would love to meet your sweet fur babies to take them out to enjoy the sun, get some exercise and get lots of pets and love! I've taken care of dogs as small as Chihuahuas and as large as a St. Bernard. My dream in life is to open my own animal sanctuary one day. I've been sitting on rover for over a year now, and I love it! So far it's been a great experience, getting to meet lots of new furbabies! I love to take lots of photos of your babies, and am very communicative during my visits. I will follow any and all directions for each visit as I understand each family has different needs. I work 40 hours per week but 'm pretty flexible. You can send me a message about my availability on which days you need me and I will respond asap. I usually respond immediately. Your pet's safety is a top priority. I will ensure your fur babies are safe and comfortable, and make sure to communicate with you during each visit. I have a full time job, but I am able to work around my schedule to care for your babies. If you are a bit flexible, I usually can accept any booking. I have 3 cats that are all indoors. One of my boys likes to go on walks everyday with a leash, he's basically a dog!
14. Corey S.
“I would highly recommend Corey as a responsible and loving pet caregiver. She has experience with a variety of animals and I know she will go out of her way to make sure every pet feels special. She is very responsible as not only a pet caregiver, but as a swim coach for a school district and as a lead in her career. I would absolutely trust Corey with my pet care needs.”
15. Grace K.
“Grace did a fantastic job walking and taking care of my Saint Brenard, Heidi. She showed up prompty, and treated my 4-legger like family. Book now because she fills up fast!”
16. Donna A.
“Donna is the person we trust to watch our pets when we are away. Her loving and caring demeanor is what brings us back to her every time. Her love for animals truly shows when she is watching our pets. We know when she takes care of our animals, they are in good hands.”
17. Elise S.
“Elise walks my puppy, Olive, ~4x a week and is amazing with her. She plays with her, gives her a mid day snack, and takes her on a short walk. Every day she uploads pictures of Olive on the walk for me to see. She is always on time and provides updates on how Olive did after each visit. I would highly recommend Elise to walk and take care of your fur baby 🙂”
18. Alex R.
“Alex was excellent with Cooper! She sent me a full report of how he did on his walk with multiple pictures as well. Cooper seemed comfortable and happy with Alex’s care. She made sure Coopers water bowl was full after she walked him. I would definitely recommend Alex to everyone!! Will be using her for future walks as well :)”
19. Cassidy S.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and all animals since I was about 8! I grew up on a horse farm in Michigan and always had the responsibility of caring for my horse and my dog! As I got older it became a passion of mine. I am currently in school. Prior to me living in California I worked for canine academy as a K9 off leash dog trainer. I also had a small group of dogs I would walk, watch and care for as well. I have found some extra free time in my life currently and I would love to help watch and care for your furry friend while you’re away at work or on a trip! I have found myself a bit bored sitting at home now a days when I have time away from school and I would love to keep myself busy doing something that genuinely makes me happy! I offer whatever it may be that would make you animal feel most safe. Outdoor time if that’s what is needed, a nice walk to calm down and get rid of energy, backyard time, other dog play time if acceptable. Lots of love and cuddles! Every dog is different.. all depends on the dog itself
20. Michelle S.
“Michelle was great and took great care of my dog, Sadie! Michelle listened to our instructions and sent us many photos throughout the walk so that we could see that Sadie was doing okay and was being taken care of. Great communication and was friendly. We will definitely look to hire Michelle again in the future because we’ll know Sadie will be in good hands :)”
