“Nick was so amazing. Our dogs were well looked after, our home well taken care of, and we loved his updates. Our dogs can’t wait to have him stay again!”


“This was our second time having Austin watch our pups. We traveled internationally for 10 days and had no worries about our two dogs. His communication is exceptional and left our home clean!”


“Our ten year old hound dog had never been taken care of overnight by anyone other than his family but Devona did a wonderful job! We would definitely recommend her and we would happily use her again. Thanks Devona!”


“I was a initially hesitant about a higher rate sitter, but Susan had the extra background check, had reviews from multiple clients, and took her own time for a meet and greet before we booked so we could get to know her and her passion for caring for others. She took great care of my bulldog while I took a nearby staycation. The peace of mind proved worthwhile. We have already booked her for another longer stay and are thankful Rover connected us!”


“We are so grateful for Adriana! She took such wonderful care of our pup, Blue, while we were away. He can be a bit stubborn and high-maintenance at times, but Adriana handled everything with so much patience, love, and attention to detail. She truly went above and beyond to make sure Blue felt comfortable and cared for. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. We would highly recommend Adriana to anyone looking for a kind, responsible, and attentive pet sitter. Thank you again, Adriana—you’re the best! 💙🐾”


“Alinna was great. She sent pics of Daphne multiple times a day and kept me updated on her eating and if she was okay. Alinna played fetch with her and kept her comfy cozy on the couch. Also, she went above and beyond and tidied up my apartment and washed the linens! Would book again!!”


“Colleen is amazing! Not only did she take care of our dogs for two weeks while we were out of the country, she kept our house plants watered, and the house was nice and clean when we got back! We would love to have her take care of our two pups when we travel again! Thank you so much Colleen!”



“Raaj was great and really helped me on short notice! He's always great at keeping me updated and sending pics of my pup. Will definitely book again!”


“Liz was wonderful with our doggy! Our senior dog liked her from the moment he met her and was at ease in her presence early on. Liz was especially attentive to taking frequent photos and sending updates daily. When we arrived home, our doggy was comfortable and calm. We are so glad to have found Liz and will be booking with her again very soon!”


“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dogs received! Both sitters were incredibly attentive, loving, and thoughtful throughout their stay. They went above and beyond to make sure my pups were comfortable and happy, and I came home to a spotless house. It’s such a relief to know my dogs are in such capable and caring hands. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, responsible, and compassionate pet sitters!”


About: Let me take care of your fur babies for the weekend, the week, the day or whatever your needs are for your fur babe(s). I'm extremely attentive and thoughtful with my own and will be for yours, too. Ridiculously reliable, count on me! Cat, dog, chicken, fish, ferret, bird, snake and a little bit of horse experience. I've even taken care of a client's tarantula. Senior dog specialist but can also handle the puppy energy and lots of walkies. They all bring me happiness and love each experience and want your baby to enjoy my visits and care for them, too. I am available most weekends so you can go do human fun things with no worries. Your sweet fur kids will be my first priority! I will soon be available all week long, too. Can do visits and/or overnights. My spouse and fellow fur parent is working from home full-time which allows me even more flexibility to serve you and your babes. After first meeting with you and your pets, I will always follow all of your instructions on their care inside and outside of your home. There may be opportunity to care for your pets in my home with our menagerie if it all fits. Almost two acres with fenced back yard.

“Such a great sitter! She took great care of my dog, keeping me updated with pictures and texts throughout the sitting. I can tell my dog had a great time with her. Thanks so much, Maks!”


“Dalia is so great with our zoo! She sends pictures regularly and checks in often, and the house is cleaner than when we left! Our fur babies love her and so do we!”


About: What sets me apart is my patience, attentiveness, and experience with all kinds of dogs. I take the time to build trust, provide regular updates, and adjust my approach to each pet’s needs. I'm active and engaged, always focused on making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for. I’d gladly take care of your doggie any day except Sundays and Tuesdays, but I’m happy to work around your schedule the rest of the week! I follow your pet’s routine to ensure they feel comfortable and secure in their own home or mine. I provide love, care, and attention, keeping the space tidy while offering regular updates so you’re always in the loop. Additionally, my spacious fenced in yard and screened patio area are great for pups who love the outdoors!

About: I grew up in a house with both cats and dogs where everyone got along great! Once I moved out of the house I adopted my first rescue dog and have had dogs as pets ever since. Currently fostering dogs for Orange County Animal Services and have helped them get several dogs adopted into forever homes. I have regularly helped friends with dogsitting and housesitting while they are away from home, and have taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages. Currently working part time, from home, so my schedule is very flexible on both weekdays and weekends. Mornings or afternoons I'm available for pet play dates or walking. Trusting our pets with someone else is a big step, so I take their safety and security very seriously. When walking a dog I'm always cautious about traffic, strangers, or other pets that have been let off leash. Building trust with your pet is the best way to keep them safe so they can see you again soon!

“Connor took wonderful care of our two dogs, one of whom is very high-need. We came home to two happy, relaxed dogs who had had lots of exercise and attention, and a very tidy house! I appreciate Connor’s experience with foster dogs as he was comfortable with our nervous, anxious pup, and his attention to detail, like noticing a plant that desperately needed water! I highly recommend Connor.”

Kris P.
“My daughter, Kristin, has had a love for animals since she was a little girl. She is now momma to 5 dogs and 2 cats and they are her fur babies. All are rescues. Several weeks ago 13 year old Tucker, a Cheweenie, required surgery. After Tucker was back home, she sent me a photo with Tucker cradled in her arms. It is so Kris. Despite work, she devotes many weekends as a volunteer for “Wednesdayscommunitycats”. In addition she personally helps feed the feral Courthouse cats and is available for pet sitting when needed. God has given her a huge heart for animals and I am delighted to recommend her for Rover. Kathy Fox”

Rhonda P.
“Rhonda has helped me take care of my dogs. I have 2 poodles and a cattle dog. They all have allergies and have to each be fed separate and different types of meals. She is able to care for them correctly and she treats them as if they are her own children. Rhonda makes sure they get to go out and the cattle dog is brushed every day when she stays with my kids. I don't trust many people to take care of my children.”
