“We have two needy pups who do not do well on their own for long periods of time. Jace came for the day while we were out and we came home to some happy pups. Jace was on time and very friendly. The pups took to him right away. He sent photos through out the day with updates which we really appreciated.”


“I found Nadalie to be quite reliable with house-sitting and cat-sitting for me when I was away. She took our garbage to the curb and returned the cans and kept our outdoor plants watered as requested. My cat was healthy and happy when I returned home. My home was kept neat and was clean when I arrived back from my trip. I am pleased with her service.”


“We have known Peggy in a business capacity for many years. When we found out she was dog sitting we immediately made her our primary sitter for our dog Shadow. He’s very anxious and has terrible separation anxiety. Peggy has been a tremendous surrogate mommy for him. She is the only person that we trust to stay in our home when we’re away on weekends or vacations. She has the highest level of integrity and is an amazing pet carer. She gets our highest recommendation.”


“Sarah is one of the best people I’ve met to take care of my dogs. Bruno and Chewie were thrilled to spend time with her. She sent tons of pictures and details of their days every day of the week. Thanks to her, our family was able to travel without any worries about the puppies. I’m blessed to have met her and I’m really sad to see her move out of our home town. She is welcome back to visit us any time she comes back to the Bay Area ❤️”


“Nancy’s first stay with my pets was exceptional. Being away (and out of cell service) for a week is a huge leap of faith and Nancy delivered in full and then some. The pets were happy and well tended. She left extensive notes and updates for my return and even when above and beyond in a handful of the responsibilities we had discussed. She will be my first stop for all future house sittings without a doubt 🧡🖤🖤🐾”


“Our dogs are always happy when we come home. Anna is great with them. We are leaving for a week tomorrow and I know they will be in great hands with Anna. I highly recommend her!”


“Penny did an amazing job with our anxious rescue dog. She was patient and let Lucy approach her in her own time and went above and beyond to make Lucy feel safe and secure. We will definitely be requesting her for future jobs. Thanks, Penny!”



“Shawn is amazing, I highly recommend her! She took such wonderful care of my two senior dogs while I was away. Shawn sent me notes and photos so I knew exactly how my dogs were doing and gave me peace of mind knowing they were well cared for. I came home to happy dogs and a well-kept home, I couldn’t have asked for more!”


“Jordan was excellent. I only adopted Oso the day prior but was called in to work. She met with Oso that day to ensure the two were a match. She responded with very short notice to dog sit within my home overnight. Her communication was perfect and she updated me often with how Oso was doing, what they were up to, and with multiple photos showing a very happy rescue.”


“Trisha was a perfect pet sitter for our pup as she was recovering from surgery while we were on vacation. Trisha was easy to work with, super responsive, and kept our dog happy and healthy. I felt confident leaving our dog in her care.”


About: I have been taking care of others pets for about 5 years now and have had family pets of the furry, feathered, and scaly varieties my entire life. I've mucked stalls, scooped poop, cleaned cat boxes, all of the not so glamorous parts, and have enjoyed walking, playing and spending quality time while meeting each furry friends every day needs. I currently have a French Bulldog named Sophie and a Leopard Gecko named Leo who I have loved taking care of every day! I am currently on summer vacation so I am free every day except for two vacations I have planed. I am able and willing to stay as many days as you need in your home any time of the week with your pets. My basic pet care will include bringing pets to the bathroom about every 2 hours, feeding pets required amount told by owners, playing with pets multiple times a day, cleaning up after pets, and any other special care instructions given by owners. Care may vary depending on the type of animal.

“Melinda was great with our dog and cat and left our home spotless! She followed our instructions thoroughly, including taking care and giving meds to our dog for post-surgery recovery. I would highly recommend her!”

“BEST Pet/House Sitters Ever! We lost 1 of our fur-babies, which resulted in us not being comfortable leaving 1 cat a lone and taking our dogs to a kennel as originally planned. At the last minute we were scrambling to find someone willing to stay at our house with our cat that lost her cat-mate and our dogs that lost their little cat-brother and they were all showing signs of grieving. We luckily found this amazing family and they took care of our fur-babies just like they were theirs. Mimi, Mackenzie and David were communicative, sent pictures, snuggled with our critters, let them sit on their laps and made sure they had plenty of exercise too. We feel so fortunate to have found Mimi and family! If we weren't relocating to another state I would continue to book with them. They are really kind people and were AMAZING with our cat and dogs.”


“We are repeat customers. Our dogs love Branden! You can look forward to tons of photos of your pets being well cared for, many updates and a clean house when you get home. Branden is the best!”


“Elora watched our crew of 4 Goldens and 1 cat for several days while we were out of town. She kept us updated with daily photos and stories about their adventures. She took wonderful care of the whole crew and the house. We would whole heartedly recommend her to anyone!”


“Kimberly does a great job with our girls! We have 3 dogs, 2 elderly and one puppy. She gives them all of the time and attention they need.. She always makes sure to play and run around with our puppy because our puppy has a significant amount of energy. At the same time, she gives our older 2 girls lots of cuddles and attention. She is great at making sure they are fed, given their medications, and let outside to use the restroom frequently! I'd definitely recommend Kimberly!”


“Emma was a wonderful house/dogsitter for our high-energy Vizsla. She was professional and highly communicative, and my dog loved her right away!”


“I should lie and say move past her, only so I can make sure she’s available when I need her for my dogs. She is very polite, and quickly replies and listens to your needs. I had her house sit along with three dogs and it was perfect. I through 2 very high strung working dogs at her and she didn’t seem phased and made she they all had plenty of attention. She’s very quick with updates. I could keep going on as there was zero issues. 5 stars is definitely not enough rating. 10/10 will be using again when I need. Or when a friend needs someone.”


“Erica was a wonderful dog and house sitter. She took excellent care of our 13 year old dog and sent pictures of him to reassure us. She also took really good care of our home including washing the sheets and towels she used as well some light sweeping and vacuuming. She also checked on the plants and picked up the mail. Her communication was exceptional and we felt very comfortable having her take care of beloved pet. We also felt very comfortable having her stay at our house. We will definitely hire Erica again!”


“Susan is a marvel. She’s a consummate professional that just loves what she does and the dogs love her back (and so do we). Thanks for taking care of our girls as your own.”

South Colby pet parents share their Rover experiences
Erica was the best! She did all she could to make my cat and me comfortable and more. .. She sent me pictures and gave me updates, and watered my plants and everything! I would give her 6 stars if that was an option!

Lily was fantastic! Both pets were happy and calm when we got back, and we got lots of updates and pictures throughout the entire time we were gone. She even went above and beyond and watered our yard before fireworks started as a precaution!

Jonna is fantastic! She took really good care of our puppers while I had major surgery; she stepped in and stepped up when both my prior sitters had no availability. Booking again!

Sarah watched my two dogs and house for a week. During that time, I received very nice notes and photos on how it was going. On my return, I found two very content and well cared for dogs and a house in good order. I look forward to using her services again and highly recommend her!
