About: I have had a dog since birth... Labradors, Pit bulls, pointers, roommates' small dogs, Austraillian shepherds, I've seen it all. I currently have two frenchies of my own, and they come with me if I'm staying at your place. I'm comfortable taking care of wounds, giving oral/topical/injection meds, and will make sure they are eating and drinking. Stubborn pup ✔️ Anxious pup ✔️ Aggressive guys ✔️ Sad to be away from you ✔️ Expert petter and scratcher ✔️ I can't wait to love your fur baby. I work a part-time job a few days a week. Usually this proves to be no problem when taking care of pets. We go on a few walks a day and enjoy plenty of play/quality time. My two frenchies are very sweet, playful and docile in stressful situations. I can meet dogs where they are and shy pets always warm up to me quickly.
“Maddy did a drop in visit to walk my dog and feed the dog and cat their dinner, and she was fantastic. She showed up right on time, sent updates and pictures, and was overall reliable and communicative. I would 100% recommend her and rehire her in the future.”
“Rong was super responsive, timely, and communicative! She took great care of my pup and made sure to follow through on every request I made of her! My place was spotless when I got back and I will definitely ask her to look after Marco again!”

“Dennis is wonderful and we can’t wait to work with him again. He took great care of Bruno and our home. Dennis provided photos and updates on Bruno while we were away and our home was spotless when we arrived home. Highly recommend’”
“Shivani was so loving with our dogs and very communicative! My partner and I realized we were looking forward to new pictures several times a day while we were gone. It gave us such extraordinary peace of mind to know that somebody who cares so much about our girls was there, not only to feed them and give them their meds, but to keep them company and play with them.”

“Anais has watched our dog three times now, and we couldn’t be happier. She has excellent communication, provides regular updates, and takes incredible care of our senior pup with complex medical needs. We always return to a clean home, which is such a thoughtful touch. Anais is a wonderful dog sitter - we highly recommend!”

“Laura’s first time dog sitting for us went smoothly. This was an overnight trip. She sent us photo updates and was responsive when we texted to check in. When we got home, the house was tidy, their water bowls were filled, and Cannoli and Da Vinci were in good spirits. We’ve booked Laura for an extended stay while we’re on an international trip. Thanks, Laura!”

“Barbara has taken excellent care of both of anxious/reactive big dog, and our home while we have been out of town. She is reliable and so helpful, I never have concerns leaving Rocky in her care. I recommend her to anyone looking for care for their pups!”

“We came home to a tidy house and happy pets thanks to Cara. We appreciate her thoroughness and quick response whenever we had a question. Will definitely ask her back next time we go out of town.”

“Wenjie did so well with our cranky old dog, taking care of the dog and apartment equally. He is cheery, responsive, and responsible, and we would book him again for Henry in a heartbeat”

“Hollie took excellent care of my foster pup Luna over the holidays. She sent regular updates and photos, checked in if any questions came up, and generally gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Luna also has a medical issue that requires very specific administration of supplements to her food. I came home to a happy, healthy, relaxed dog. I highly recommend Hollie!”

“Nicole was wonderful and came through for us in a pinch! My dog and cat warmed to her immediately. She was incredibly responsive throughout the sit and extra helpful with things like packages. I highly recommend her! She has a great calming energy for anxious pets.”

“Irina was fantastic! She stayed at our home with our Frenchie for 2 nights. He was well cared for and I didn't have to worry (especially because it was our first time leaving him)”

“Melina has watched our puppies (and cat) several times now, and she is always such a joy to work with! Prompt, professional, kind, and most importantly-the animals are so happy to see her! Makes it much easier to be away when we have to travel.”

“Paola was great with little Beau 🐶 he loves her already! She had to be at our house crazy early in the morning, she got here a few minutes early & was wide awake and joyful…. Beau & I will invite Paola back whenever possible!!! 🐶💕”

“Richard was very communicative and willing to do meet and greet right away. He even took the extra time to orient again before we left. Mama Dog just had a spine surgery and he took special and extra care of her medicine and feeding schedule. We got daily pictures with updates on how she's doing making us feel at ease even though we were away. I felt like my baby was in good hands the whole time. Highly recommend Richard and hopefully he'd be our regular sitter!!!”
“G’la was great with our two dogs! We loved all of the wonderful pictures she sent and our dogs clearly had a good time. She even went above and beyond to coordinate visits with our landlord while we were away. Thanks, G’la!”

“Zsa-Zsa was wonderful! She took such great care of our three cats and kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She followed all of our instructions perfectly and was super communicative. We came home to happy cats and a tidy home :) I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive sitter!”

Shepherd Canyon pet parents share their Rover experiences
Melina is an incredible critter sitter - she’s the only person we’ve trusted for years now to make sure our fur babies are safe and sound when we have to leave them at home! Our house is always exactly at we left it, if not better and cleaner! ;) Thank you as always for caring for our crew like they were your own, Melina!! Until next time…

Anais took excellent care of my little blind Yoda over a long weekend I was away. He was a fair amount of work given he still had stitches from eye removal surgery on one eye and was on multiple medications to keep him chill and pain free. She administered all his meds and made sure he was comfortable and stress free for his recovery while I was away for the weekend. She was very flexible as well, since I was supposed to go away the weekend before but had to cancel due to his emergency surgery. She was on board to care for him the following weekend instead and worked with me up to the last minute to be sure I felt he was well enough for me to leave at all. Will hire Anais again and again!

Edward hit it off with Milo from the get go and made himself available at the last minute for a house-sit. He was super communicative and sent us pictures and updates. He even washed our dishes ( totally out of volition) and that is super awesome thank you 🙏🏽 Milo will look forward to many more sits with him. Highly recommend!!

We lucked out having Dennis take care of our pup and home over a weekend. Dennis spoiled us with extra time to get to know our dog and care routine. Dennis was kind, thoughtful and loving to our kiddo, was extremely communicative, provided lots of updates and doted on our pup with lots of love and attention. We look forward to having Dennis again!

Kat was very loving to Louie. She was very responsible, on time, clean, neat, honest ... all-in-all a great house and dog sitter. (i hesitate too many good things about Kat because I want her to be available the next time i need her. ha!). She kept me informed AND even after she was done watching Louie, she checked back with me to make sure I made it home and Louie was fine. Thank you Kat and Rover..

We had a wonderful meet and greet with Val! She is so attentive and caring. Our dog Ruthie can be nervous with new people but she really seems to love and feel comfortable with her. We can tell Val loves animals and truly treats them as her own. We look forward to her future stays. Thank you so much Val!

Alisa is an exceptional caretaker. It can be difficult to find a trustworthy dog sitter when you’re new to the area, so I feel very fortunate to have found her. She was respectful of my home and left everything in perfect condition. Most importantly, my Cavalier was well cared for and happy. I would highly recommend Alisa without hesitation.

Rover review - Feb 14-15, 2026 Responsible, trustworthy, tidy, conscientious, funny, accommodating, and highly communicative, I would absolutely book Qishu again in future. Our kitties took to her right away (even our skittish one). We were only away for 1 night but Qishu sent frequent text updates throughout the day, which put us at ease so we could enjoy our time away. She takes great pics and videos, in which we could tell our girls were being very well taken care of and appreciated, and not missing us in the least. In less than 24 hours Qishu managed to play with our high-energy 8-month old to the point of getting her tired enough to pant (as requested), and to gain the trust of our skittish 1-year old, enough to be petted until she was purring and rolling around on the floor, showing belly. This was not requested nor expected; even our closest friends (who our cats have known since they were kittens) haven’t been able to get that close to her! Qishu went the extra mile without our asking, and the results were incredible. When we got home, Cricket and Jiji were happy and relaxed, as if we had never left at all. The house was clean and in order. We have some more travel dates later this year and are crossing our fingers that we will be able to have Qishu look after our girls again. 🤞🏼 Thanks Qishu! You rock! 🤘🏼🎸🤘🏼

Kate is now one of my go-to people to care for my special needs senior pup! He is always calm and happy when I return, in spite of his constant state of senior anxiety, so I know she is super sweet with him which is just what he expects and needs :) Thanks Kate!

Kaiya helped us last minute with a drop in over the holidays for our 2 medium sized rescue dogs. She was very kind and patient with them. She was easy to communicate with and asked good questions which helped me feel reassured. We will be working with her again.

Erin was a delight to work with—she handled dog/housesitting (2 senior rescues, one rambunctious Aussie shepherd) during an atmospheric river with grace and aplomb. Communicative, punctual, and left the house in great shape. Would not hesitate to have her return.

Jena was THE BEST pet sitter. Not only did she update me several times a day with pictures of my higher-intensity dog Murray, take him on way more walks than I ever could, give him her undivided attention, but she left my house so clean and respected. I'm so excited to have found her here and I can't wait to have her back!
