“Carey did a great job taking care of our dog while we were away. She kept us updated on his activities, shared several pictures, and made sure he was well looked after. She also took good care of our home, which we really appreciated. We’d be happy to book her again in the future and would recommend her to others looking for a reliable dog sitter!”
About: I previously worked at a small animal clinic. I have extensive experience working with small animals of all breeds/sizes/temperament/energy-level. I have cared for both senior dogs and pups. Experience administering oral medication. I mostly work full-time, but my hours are flexible. I am always available for morning/afternoon walks/jogs. I work through the university, therefore, I am available on holidays and weekends! I have a lot of experience caring for friends/ family pets. I am open to sitting in both my own home and clients home, all depending on client/pet comfort ability. I do not have any pets of my own, but I do have the supplies (bed,bowls,treats,poop bags,etc) ready for when they are needed!
About: Growing up with Vets as parents, animals have been a huge part of my life. Whether it’s walking your dog or house sitting, i’m there. Hey! I'm Zach Walsh. I'm a recent college graduate who is currently seeking employment in my desired field but am having some troubles finding a full time job, so looking to make some extra cash. I have a lifelong love for animals. Growing up in a family of veterinarians, I've been surrounded by pets and animal care my entire life. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for your furry family members, and I would be honored to help. I am available for dropping in and walking your dog or even staying the night and house sitting. I currently have 4 dogs and 3 cats. All are well taken care of and dogs are walked daily. Throughout my life, retrievers have been a big part of my life, most of my experience is with goldens and labs but i’ve walked and house sitted a variety of breeds.
“Yessel is fantastic! Her communication was super and her care for our dog was wonderful-didn’t worry once knowing our puppy was in great hands.”
“Olivia was awesome! Thank you!”
“We are very thankful for Matt house and pet sitting during our vacation. It was a 10 day trip and its good to have peace of mind that someone like Matti is caring for our two pets. Taking out dog Bruno to the dog park was great for a high energy pup. We will definitely book him again!”
“Devi was great. We’ve already booked with her again! Devi was very responsive when booking. We were impressed by how professional she was when she came over for a meet-and-greet. Most importantly, she handled our easily overexcited, enormous dog perfectly—she was calm, let him set the pace, and he quickly relaxed with her. Devi sent updates and pics, so we were able to enjoy our weekend without worries.”
“We got introduced to Esmerilda through a mutual connection and from the moment we met her we knew she’d be a great fit for our felines! As an aspiring veterinarian, Esmerilda has great attention to detail and is confident in handling pets with special needs or complicated medical demands. We had her house/pet sit for us for 10 days while we were out of the country and never once did we have a worry about how things were going. It’s great that we have found our best friends’ new best friend!”
“Ashley was wonderful! I highly recommend her. She did such a great job with my little dog. She was timely, trustworthy, a great communicator, and best of all my dog loves her! Thank you, Ashley!”
“Nora is very reliable and our dog Bailey took to her right away. We received regular updates and had the peace of mind that our home and pet were in good hands while we were away.”
“Valorie was great! She communicated with me well, sent pictures, and was honest. My pups seem led to have a good time :) Sh is so nice and genuine and took such great care of the house too.”
About: I have taken care of animals all of my life! I am a proud owner of two guinea pigs and have 3 dogs back at home. I also have experience with cats. I am an Animal Science major at UC Davis, so I am very passionate about all kinds of animals! I am a student at UC Davis taking one Summer class this summer so my schedule is flexible. I am available every single weekday as well as weekends. You can count on me to take the best care of your fur babies and treat them like they were my own.

“Alyssa is great. I can always trust her to take care of my senior chihuahua. If you’re looking for someone reliable and trustworthy with your special doggos, I highly recommend her”
About: Hello! I have taken care of dogs since 2009 with various experiences with my personal pets and many other family members pets. My uncle used to be a K9 police dog trainer and has many personal pets. Through him, i've been exposed to various sizes, mentalities, and activity limits. My experiences with big dogs like Great Danes and intelligent dogs like Belgian Malinois give me the confidence to handle any pets! I also have experienced dogs that can be easily spooked and might produce scary looking body language, allowing me to handle de-escalation while respecting the pet. Overall, I have seen all types of dogs and am equipped to give your pets a fun experience! I am currently working a day shift on UC Davis campus but can be available after 4:30pm on weekdays and anytime works on the weekends! I can take care of pets in a clients home by providing treats if allowed and using the environment of the clients home to entertain their pet. I won't be able to care for pets in my own because I don't have proper space, but I can walk them around the neighborhood!
“Mya took great care of our dog and house while we were away for a long weekend! She sent updates and pictures daily and it was very easy to communicate with her both before and during the stay. Highly recommended!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets ranging from dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles! Old or young I’ve done it all! Grooming, medication, no worries for me! During my time in the military I also had training with military K-9’s! So if you have a slightly more aggressive dog that may worry you for scheduling a pet sitter, I’m your guy! M-W-F (Overnight or late Evening) T-Th (Late Evening) Sat-Sun (Anytime) Please do let me at least 1-Day in advance prior to cancellation for adjustments, Thanks! I have a completely closed off section that my little babies have for their own pleasure and comfort, no interactions between them and your pet!
About: I am a veterinary student so I have a strong foundation in animal health and behavior, along with hands-on experience caring for pets with a wide range of needs. I'm trained to safely administer medications—whether oral, topical, or injectable—and I’m confident caring for both energetic puppies and senior pets who may need a little extra patience and support. I truly adore animals and I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. Building trust with each animal is incredibly important to me, and I always take the time to learn their routines, quirks, and what makes them happiest. I care for pets around my class and study schedule, which gives me the flexibility to provide reliable, consistent care—especially for drop-in visits or overnight stays. Spending time with animals is something I truly enjoy, so I make it a priority in my week. Whether it’s a morning walk, evening meds, or playtime in between, I always make sure your pet gets the attention and care they need. I care for pets in their own home where they feel most safe and comfortable. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible—whether that means sticking to specific feeding schedules, administering medications, going on familiar walking routes, or just spending quiet time with them. I always keep a clean, respectful presence in your home and make sure your pet receives plenty of love, attention, and care while you're away. I also send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well looked after.
About: I’ve taken care of dog for with more than 5 years. I personally have two dogs in the house which are 10 lbs and 30 lbs. I’ve successfully trained 3 puppies in the past 5 years and also fostered before for a rescue. I’ve also been providing boarding service for my friends with at least 6 dogs, pictures are included in my profile. All the dogs will be separated when I’m out, and basic training can be provided if owner requests. I’ve successfully taking care of 5 dogs at one time including two puppies. I’m a recent graduate at UC Davis, and currently WFH all day. I will walk dogs twice a day and give them bathroom break at least 4-5 times every day. I have a fenced yard in the house. All the dogs will be separated when I’m not at home. For safety reasons, dogs will stay in the crate when humans are not around but they can be on furniture once humans are presented.
About: I love animals of all types! My first pet sitting experience was at the age of 10 with a very sweet German Shephard, Storm. Over the years I've connected with many a canine, feline, and on occasion, equine family members. It's an honor to be trusted by you, and more importantly your four legged companion to care for them while you're away. I'm comfortable caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes and levels of energy. You'll see many pictures of me and my late pup Jude. I had the pleasure of being his parent all 15years he roamed this earth. From potty training, behavior training, grooming and senior care. I've done it all. I work full time and take long lunch breaks, which affords me time to take care of myself as well as spend time with and/or walk your fur baby. I'm available on the weekends for extended visits or walks. In the evening I'm able to do the same. I live on the 5th floor in a small apartment. If I am boarding your animals overnight, it will need to be in your home. Whatever accommodations your home has for your pet, I'll happily utilize them to ensure their comfort.

We have two dogs (Sequoia who turned 15 & Juniper who is 5 years old) who have benefited from the care and Love Elise has shown them. Thanks for your time. Woof! -Jaime”

South Cape pet parents share their Rover experiences
Carey was fantastic; very diligent, caring, professional and kind. Our puppy was in great hands! Will definitely book again
Yessel is wonderful and so loving and attentive. I would highly recommend Yessel to care for your pets as I definitely will have her back. I have a cocker spaniel that can be shy and little Ellie warmed up to Yessel almost immediately. I felt assured that my dogs would be well cared for and looked after. Yessel was terrific about pictures and sending notes about their day. Yessel is a blessing and I highly recommend 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
She was so attentive, kind, and helpful! She checked in many times and provided great photos and updates. My cat really liked her and felt comfortable with her! She did a great job not only caring for my cat but also going above and beyond doing tasks I didn’t ask her to do like cleaning my apartment, which was so thoughtful! She even gave her a little present at the end :) Would definitely recommend!
We came home to a happy dog and clean house, couldn't ask for anything more! I'd recommend Kate for house and dog sitting.
Negin was an amazing pet sitter for my Lily. It’s always so hard to leave a pet when going away and it makes all the difference in the world to leave them in the hands of someone who is trustworthy and compassionate and Negin is definitely both of these! She genuinely cared about getting to know my cat and meeting her unique needs, she was super communicative and sent photos without me having to ask for them, and when I got home I could tell that Lily had been in good hands. Negin is dependable, caring, and has an innate knack for being with animals. I recommend her highly!
Elana was great with our dog Winnie! She was very communicative and responsible and sent lot of pictures. Winnie seemed to like her a lot, which made us comfortable leaving her in Elana’s care
Emme stayed at ny house for 4 nights while I was out of town. She took time to learn about my dog and his habits during the meet and greet. She asked questions and took notes. During her stay, she arrived on time, checked in often and gave me updates regularly. She is very attentive and asked questions that came up that we had not discussed. I felt my dog was cared for. I would recommend her and consider using her services again..
We were so lucky to have Diane caring for our dog aquarium pets, and home for our 10 day vacation! She shared lots of updates and patiently won the dog's heart. She even worked on some training goals!
Valorie was great! She communicated with me well, sent pictures, and was honest. My pups seem led to have a good time :) Sh is so nice and genuine and took such great care of the house too.
Misha did a great job taking care of my kitties, one of whom required 10 pills per day! She was super responsive, considerate, reliable, and kind.
Ashley was wonderful! I highly recommend her. She did such a great job with my little dog. She was timely, trustworthy, a great communicator, and best of all my dog loves her! Thank you, Ashley!
Mya is very special, and we feel so at ease knowing she is loving our pup and our home while we are away!💜🌺
Anna was wonderful! She spent lots of time with the pets and went above and beyond to make sure everything was as I’d hoped. Will definitely rebook!
Kira did a great job watching our puppy who is very high energy so can be challenging. Kira was very communicative and responsible.
Emma was AMAZING with our Zoe. We were gone for 12 days and I never at any point worried that our very spoiled Chihuahua was very well taken care of during the entire time we were gone. She updated up us with pictures and the numerous walks and adventures they embarked on due to the time we were away. When we returned, the house was left clean and we could not even tell she had stayed at our house the entire time. Zoe was sorry to see her go as I am sure she was a warm lap and with constant petting, a devoted person who lavished attention on her.
Joon was fabulous! The house was clean; animals were well-fed, exercised and chill. The real give-away was that my old puppy usually goes into a frenzy when I return from a trip - so overjoyed to see me. This time she said she missed me, but not terribly. That speaks volumes for the care she received from Joon. Same with the kitty. Many stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!
Carla is a dependable, loving and trustworthy person who has blessed our family twice with her care for our animals. Our dog loves Carla more than us! She has spent the two weekends at our home while we were out of town and everything went perfectly. She even cared for our 8 hens this time, collecting eggs and feeding them each morning. If you have the privilege of receiving Carla's Rover services, you will not regret it.
This is my second time having Elsa take care of my kitties. Last time, she only took care of Clay, but this time around, she also took care of Oreo, my new kitten. She was attentive and caring. Both my cats have very different personalities and she was respectful of them. Oreo particularly enjoyed having Elsa’s company. She was affectionate and took the time to play with him. I am happy with Elsa’s services and I will rebook her in the future.
Marcella was a great sitter to our dogs while we were away for the Christmas holidays! She walked them and kept our place super clean, would recommend her services!!
Jasmine stayed one night in our house while we were away for the weekend, to feed and care for our mostly outdoor cat. She is a friendly, personable young woman who loves cats, and she was sweet and sensitive with our shy cat. She communicated well over the weekend, sending several photos and keeping us updated about when Maggie was in and out. We’d be happy to have her stay again; she’s even willing to be “on-call” to come over on short notice when our daughter goes into labor!
