“We had such an a great experience with Emily! She took amazing care of both our dogs and our home. From the moment she arrived, she bonded with our dogs so quickly, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. She followed their routine exactly and kept everything running smoothly while we were away. On top of that, she was incredibly clean and respectful of our space. She went above and beyond. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and trustworthy sitter.”
“Rachel has such a calming energy which was perfect for our pups who get a little anxious while we are away. Was great to have piece of mind knowing she was there while I was away for the full day. Appreciated the updates and picts as well. Thank you!!”
“Chelsea is a great sitter and I will be using her again. Her companion, Toby is also a wonderful little pup who helped calm my pups down. I don't know if you can call a dog a professional, but I can say that about Chelsea. She took our girls on nice long walks, sent plenty of pictures, and made sure we knew they were well taken care of.”
“Michelle is awesome! There was a perfect balance of professionalism, kindness and positive communication as she cared for my pup and stayed at my house. I would 100% recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a great person to watch their precious cargo :)”
“I needed a house sitter for a week. Mámoo cared for my 3 cats, dog, and hens. I was sent regular photos and updates of my pets. I came home to a clean home and happy pets. I would recommend them to others.”
About: I’ve grown up taking care of and walking pets from my own to my family, neighbors and friends. Good at giving attention and going above in beyond when watching. I work part time so fitting dog walking and pet care into my schedule is something I prioritize in my free time! Specifically walking dogs and caring for cats is a huge part of my life and helps make it complete! I care for pets in whatever way the owner wants me too, but filled with love and care. Typically caring for pets means provide water, feed, walk/play, and give attention.
“Teresa is awesome! We were traveling in the Santa Cruz area and needed an extended sitter and she was fabulous. She is super timely to respond and a joy to work with. We are so grateful we found Teresa!”
“AnnMarie is a kind and caring sitter. Whether she’s walking our dog, or doing overnight stays with our pets, she’s uber-reliable, easy to work with and our pets love her. We just returned from an overnight trip and our pets were calm and happy; and our home was immaculate. You can trust AnnMarie. She’s great”
“Grace was amazing. She came to meet me and Priya before my vacation, coordinated with another friend to be there when Priya was getting dropped off, was super responsive, and sent a ton of pictures. I'm confident Priya has a great time while I was out of town!!”
“Isabella was so great with Alfie! She communicated well, kept me updated with photos, and most importantly Alfie loves her. He’s recently rescued and has some quirks and she kept me updated on his progress and any issues he had. She stayed with him at my apartment for about a week and when I came back the apartment was cleaner than I left it. I cannot recommend her highly enough!”
“Lillian took care of our three pups in our home for a week and she was truly wonderful! She was so sweet with our three dogs and they clearly loved her. She sent daily update texts with pictures and she kept the gardens watered and the house was neat as a pin when we got home. We were able to really relax and enjoy our vacation knowing she was taking such good care of them. If you’re looking for a reliable, mature, responsible, kind person to housesit and take care of your pets, you couldn’t find anyone better than Lillian!”
“My husband and I highly recommend Jennifer! We have never had anyone but family watch our dog (he’s 12) so this was our first time using Rover. Jennifer was supper responsive and took excellent care of our pride and joy! Will definitely be using her in the future!”
“Jonathan was awesome! He took great care of our dogs while we had a fun weekend in Tahoe. He took incredible pictures and updated us frequently. The dogs were instantly comfortable with him and snuggled right in. They went for plenty of walks and the dogs were happy and tired when we returned home. Jonathan was really great about asking questions and following special instructions for our dog Otis, as he is recovering from TPLO surgery. The house was also quite clean and orderly upon our return. I will definitely be asking Jonathan to come hang out with our dogs again!”
“Celeste was amazing with our three dogs with their varied and specific needs. She was wonderful and very responsive with communication and it made for a relaxing vacation. She’s the best!”
About: I love dogs and I love taking them out and about on walks! I have taken care of many dogs from the age of 2 to 16. My most recent experience includes taking care of senior dogs. I am currently a teacher on summer break so I have lots of time on my hands to dog sit and take dogs on walks! I take care of pets in clients homes by ensuring the dog has all of its needs met. I always make sure to spend extra quality time with the dog if I noticed that it is feeling sad that its owners are away.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals for all my life. I can handle any pet, regardless of size or age. I love all animals and am very flexible when it comes to providing the care necessary to keep your pets happy! I’m a current UC Santa Cruz Junior studying Business Management Economics and working part time. I typically work Friday mornings and Saturday nights, however, I am flexible with my schedule in order to accommodate your pets when given enough notice! When I take care of pets, whether at my place or yours, I treat them like family. They get plenty of playtime, regular meals, and lots of attention! I also like to make sure owners are always up to date with how they’re pets are doing.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, so being around them has always come naturally to me. I have a puppy of my own right now and a big cane corso. I’ve cared for both puppies and senior dogs and understand that they all have different needs. I also volunteered at the SPCA for about two years, where I got experience working with lots of different dogs. I genuinely love being around animals and will make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for. Pet care fits really easily into my weekly routine. I have a part-time job with a very flexible schedule, and I take my college courses online, so I’m able to plan my days around pet care without any issues. This gives me plenty of time to do walks, drop-ins, or overnight care and make sure each pet gets attention and consistency. I’m able to adjust my schedule when needed, which helps me be reliable and available for both regular and last minute requests. When I’m in a client’s home, I keep things simple and stick to your pet’s normal routine, give them lots of love, and make sure they feel comfortable and safe in their own space. I’ll handle walks, feeding, playtime, and cleanup, and always treat your home with respect. My goal is a happy pet and a stress-free time for you.

Soquel pet parents share their Rover experiences
As first-time Rover users on Georgia’s very first road trip, we were incredibly nervous about leaving her, but Lily completely blew us away. From the moment we met her, we could just feel that she is someone you can truly trust. Lily knew exactly how to get Georgia to warm up to her, and they quickly became the absolute best of friends. On top of that, she was incredibly flexible with her time—when our schedule changed and we needed her to stay later than originally planned, she stepped up without hesitation. If you are looking for a reliable, loving, and trustworthy nanny for your fur baby, book Lily immediately. We cannot recommend her enough!
Chelsea and Jonathan were great last time they cared for our dog, so we were so excited they were available. They are conscientious, clearly love dogs, and took such amazing care of our dog. All the photos that were shared showed him happy, relaxed, and doted upon! We are so grateful.
Summer watched our two pugs with very different needs for a week. Summer was very communicative throughout, letting us know how everyone was. We received a lot of pictures showing everyone was being walked and loved while we were gone. Summer was very in tune to their health, checking in on our older ones cough She also left the house well taken care of. It was wonderful to be on vacation and knowing my furbabies were being well taken care of and I would not hesitate to have her sit again.
Marley was fantastic! She was on time, communicated well throughout the stay, and sent lots of pictures, which I really appreciated. The house was exactly as we left it — you wouldn’t even know she had been there. Most importantly, Zack seemed happy, relaxed, and completely unstressed when we got home. Overall, I’m so happy we found Marley and will absolutely use her again in the future. I would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.
Celeste was a great house and dogsitter. She is a tremendous communicator. She was so conscientious and made sure that our dog's routine was kept and that more important that he was given lots of love and attention. She left the house in great condition. We would definitely use her again!
Kat was very friendly and professional, and most importantly our dog loves her. She spoiled him and took him on his favorite walk (he is strong and a pain to walk but she knew how to handle him and was not intimidated by it at all). she sent us pictures and I felt totally at ease while we were away knowing she was taking care of Rocco. I came home to a clean house and a very content dog so we will definitely use her again!
Christopher really helped us out by offering an affordable rate and doing a stellar job, taking care of our beloved Wheaten Terrier, Graham. Christopher is very knowledgeable about dogs, highly attuned to their ways, responsive to their humans and exceptionally considerate of both the animal and human experience. I would not hesitate to recommend Christopher to anyone looking for a truly reliable and comforting presence in their home, caring for their pets. He was a real find.
Robert is great! He has watched my mini poodle several times a week over the last couple of months. He is always reliable and is great working with my schedule. He is very friendly with my dog and allows him to feel comfortable while I’m away. I highly recommend him!
