“Stephanie is very helpful and attentive! She watched our new puppy all week and made him comfortable. She is flexible and well rounded as a sitter! Highly recommend!”
“Marta was really great with our dog! She came on time and kept him happy! What more could a person ask? I don’t know what to put on dog sitting reviews. This is the first time we used Rover and we would happily rebook with Marta if our foster hadn’t already achieved his dream of a forever home. Lucky him! Maybe she is a good luck charm”
“Kate is fantastic! She stayed with our high energy, puppy for 10 days and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She followed our (extensive) instructions, gave daily updates/pictures, and took her on a weekend adventure. She is very professional & communicative! We will definitely be using her again for our future pet sitting needs.”
“CJ did an excellent job with our two Chihuahua mixes. CJ showed a genuine love for animals and formed a great bond with our dogs (one of whom is fairly mistrustful). I received regular updates, photos, and check-ins, which made me feel my doggos were getting the best care possible. I would highly recommend CJ!”
“Aimee was beyond terrific. She took such great care of both Jasper my super finicky outdoor cat (Mainecoon), that doesn’t generally warm up to folks upon meeting and Cooper, my super high energy, Australian Shepherd. She took Cooper to the park every day and even took him to the beach to play. She got Jasper to come in and eat and play twice a day which is next to a miracle. She sent pictures throughout the day to show how much fun the pets were having with her. They both went on a walk with her and seem to really love her.”
“Meiling was incredibly reliable, ensuring our dogs and cat were well taken care of while we were away. She also kept our home extremely tidy, which was a wonderful bonus. We returned to happy dogs and a spotless house. We highly recommend Meiling to anyone in need of a trustworthy and meticulous dog sitter!”
About: I’ve never lived without a dog in my household. I’ve had both small and large dogs and I haven’t met an animal that doesn’t like me. I’m very flexible with my schedule, so I can very easily squeeze in anyone. I love going out and spending time with animals, and I usually don’t have concrete plans. I have a 70lb goldendoodle who is fully housebroken and trained. My yard is fenced in and I have never had an issue with any of my pets or any visiting pets getting out.
“Diane was very communicative, and we came home to a very happy dog! House was tidy and well taken care of. We would definitely have Diane back!”
“We booked Jessa to be the pet attendant for our 2 Maine coons during our wedding! She was just absolutely amazing, and we could not have included them without her help! She was responsive and on top of all the details beforehand, handled any issues that popped up, and made sure our boys were comfortable and safe throughout. The kitties and our 8 year old German Shepherd loved her immediately, and acted like she was a long lost friend. I could not be happier with my choice of Jessa for our special day, and would recommend her to anyone. She is also lovely and personable, and I look forward to seeing her when we have future kitty needs.”
“I knew she would be great when she came to our house for a "meet and greet", brought a cat toy and immediately started playing with our two babies. I was not wrong - they were wlel cared for, well fed and most importantly, well loved.”
About: A large grassy area in front of the house on a cul de sad, several dog beds, dog-friendly neighborhood walks,...ideal for a fun pet overnight stay. I do not currently have my own dog but sometimes may take 2 dogs at one time. I study massage and dog psychology. Dogs who love touch or massages will get plenty of attention. It is a house with a yard, not an apartment. The yard is not completely fenced, so I use a leash 100% of the time until I know the dog very well, since there are sometimes birds and squirrels making appearances. Dogs spend a lot of time outside with me, weather permitting. Your dog will not spend time outside alone because it's just more fun to be together. About this sitter: I raised two Scottish Terrier litter-mates from puppy-hood and have cared for dogs and cats in their homes, dogs in my home for months at a time, and I enjoy walking dogs. I am soft-spoken and very patient. Shy, or sensitive/scared pets often feel comfortable around me pretty quickly. Pets should have joy in their lives so I enjoy giving them extra attention to help alleviate some of the stress when their owners are away. For overnight care at a clients' home, I like to stay as light and self-contained as possible. I'm in this for the love of pets and like to leave as little a footprint as possible! Experience includes: dog owner, cat owner, dog sitting for over 15 different dogs and 4 different cats (up to 6 dogs simultaneously or combo of 2 dogs/2 cats who were housemates). Why I love dog sitting: I made my first dog friend when I was 6 years old. Lalli was a seeing-eye school drop out and the sweetest dog I'd ever met. My aunt already had 2 cats that I loved by that point. I ended up helping a senior dog get past her separation anxiety and she and her folks gained more freedom. About my yard: Large grassy area in front of the house. Dog park nearby with well behaved friendly neighborhood dog regulars. My experience administering oral medication: I have done it and I will do it if a pet is not a biter or scratcher. I cared for 2 dogs during their hospice. I am open to doing that, at least to help provide respite for the primary caretakers. I am free to spend time with your dogs and/or house sit anytime except Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 8am to 7pm. Dogs that stay overnight with me will have a day sitter and dog company during the day. I am willing to accept stays longer than one week but we must discuss first to see if my system works for your animals. I live in a very walkable neighborhood with a park nearby and a large grassy area. I have an afternoon sunning deck, and plan potty breaks every 2-3 hours. Mini-massages and indoor play breaks are available throughout the day between dog naps.
“Kristine was absolutely amazing! Took every detail that we asked of her and told her about our Doberman and she followed through with extra little details! Kristine was very communicative and you can really tell she cares about what she does. Will gladly hire her again! P.S. she works at a flower shop and left beautiful bouquets for us in our kitchen. I’m obsessed!”
About: I have had two dogs for 16 years. They were both lab mixes, about medium sized dogs. While they were alive, I would walk them three times a week, make sure they had food and water in their bowls, let them outside in my backyard to play and potty, and clean up after them. I have dog-sit for many of my family and family friends. During overnight stays, most times the dogs would come up to cuddle and sleep with me while I chilled on the couch or bed. I am currently applying to be a student and am looking for something to make money on the side to save up. I love animals and especially love cats. I am currently living with two cats who are not very sociable when it comes to other animals which is why I would prefer to care your pets in their home environments without the added stress of socializing with two anti-social cats. I am free everyday of the week until the semester starts so feel free to reach out. I am only looking to care for your pets in their own homes. I will give your pet lots of affection however I am still able to be stern when it comes to dogs misbehaving. I can take your dog on walks and crate them if needed. I am good with a leash and am confident at handling pets on walks, big dogs too. I can clean up after them, whatever end it comes out I can manage with the right tools. If you give me proper instructions and a schedule, I can provide your pet with necessary oral medication and treatment, and if you are willing to give me the training, I can give injections as well. I can also give myself treatment when it comes to cat scratches and bites as I am well versed, as long as your cat is free of all the bad stuff.
“Ashley was great. I unfortantly procrastinated booking this. She was available, squeezed in a pre-meeting, clearly communicated what she'd be able to due. My dog, Rex (13-yr terrier mix), loved her. While he's getting old he still has a lot of energy, loves playing ball and going for walks. Ashley sent regular pictures and would play several rounds of ball to ensure Rex was worn out. That in addition to the daily walk!!”
“Travis is wonderful! Super professional and responsive! He sent lots of photos throughout the day and Aki had lots of fun with him! 10/10 recommend!”
“Ghazaal was with our dogs for a few days at our house, and we left her with somewhat complicated instructions and medication schedules. She handled it all beautifully, was great with the dogs and kept us updated with pictures. We came home to a tidy house and happy dogs.”
About: I have vet office experience and have been pet sitting since I was a teenager. I'm familiar with all kinds of pets, from giant dogs to the tiniest kittens (and other small animals like rabbits and reptiles!) and all of life's stages. I'm comfortable administering medications and strive to keep you updated on your furbaby's wellbeing while you're away. I'm currently between full time work, so have more time to spend with your furbabies! I'm available most weekends and happy to help for those longer trips. Safety is my top priority! Making sure your pets are comfortable and cared for to your standards and for your peace of mind while you are away is what I strive for.
“Devin did an excellent job taking care of Molly and Matrix. He followed all the instructions and took care of the house as well. He sent regular updates and stayed late until we returned from our 12 day vacation. My two Havanese pups do not do well when I am away but with Devin’s care they did great. Devin gave them extra attention when needed and I could see how comfortable they were with Devin when I returned. I highly recommend Devin for any pet and house sitting jobs.”
“Gulnur was fabulous! She met with us beforehand so she could meet our kitties and understand our house sitting needs. She stayed for 5 days during a heatwave (aghh!) which was stressful (for me) but she was calm and made sure our kitties were well taken care of and kept cool in the 100 degree heat. Our kitties are a little high maintenance in that they like to go outside (supervised) which requires time & patience. Gulnur was great - she let them outside and made sure they came in before bed. She was sweet and attentive - communicating only when necessary. We would absolutely use her again for house sitting and would recommend her to anyone looking for trusted pet sitter.”
“Shawn did a fantastic job pet sitting our dogs and cats for a week while he stayed at our house. In particular, he was very responsive to the needs of our senior dog who needs extra help. He kept us in the loop and was a marvelous house guest. I’d book him again for my next trip out of town as he is capable, reliable and very good at taking care of our pets. They all warmed up to him in no time! What a treat to travel knowing that all is well at home with Shawn there to ensure it all goes to plan!”

Mia H.
“Mia Hawkins aka...dog whisperer. Seriously, there is something special about Mia when it comes to animals. Her calm energy, her knowledge on how to care for animals is extra special. I have watched her, first hand, take care, teach, respond in such a caring manner. These animals listen and respond back. When there is a challenge with our dog, I fall back to her for advice. She is responsible, punctual, and precise with the instructions for the care of the animal.Animals are in good hands with Mia. This position is a perfect fit in my opinion. She would be a great addition to Rovers team. Please call me for any further testimony about Mia if need be. Andrea Nudelman 408.483.8873”

“Samantha is AMAZING and our favorite sitter! We have used her services for house and pet sitting a number of times. She meets with us before each trip to make sure she’s up-to-date on Cocoa’s care, asking lots of questions. Very responsible and attentive to our baby. She also makes sure we get regular photos, updates, and always follows our care instructions. Our Cocoa absolutely adores her! I highly recommend Samantha to the Rover community.”

Sunnyvale pet parents share their Rover experiences
We are so thankful to have found Marta as our Rover! She is extremely kind, detailed, quick to communicate, thoughtful, and sent us many updates of our pups every day. We have two senior dogs who are very timid and shy around new people, and Marta patiently worked with them both to build trust and comfortably - so much so that by the end of our trip, they were cuddling with her and asking for pets! We will be booking Marta in the future whenever we need a pet sitter. Book Marta - you will NOT regret it and we couldn’t recommend her highly enough!
Kate is a very pleasant and uplifting lady who has a natural instinct about dogs. She is responsive and timely. She followed all our instructions for taking care of our dog and house. She was in tune to my dogs needs and kept me informed. I have complete confidence in her abilities to dog and house sit. We are so happy to have found her!
Omar did a great job! He communicated with us throughout our trip, sent pictures and videos, and was a good house guest. Our dog warmed up to him quickly - a testament to his care and kindness.
Vivian was an absolute lifesaver for our little nervous little guy, Disco. He can be very anxious, but she handled him with so much patience and warmth. She quickly helped him settle into a happy routine filled with walks and snuggles. We could tell he felt safe and happy with her. Highly recommend Vivian to anyone looking for a compassionate and trustworthy dog sitter.
Our pets were so well cared for while we were gone. They got lots of love and attention from Brody. Highly recommend him to care for your fur babies if you need someone to take care of them while you can’t!
We had Abby housesit for us for 4 days. My cat is a senior epileptic and diabetic. So I was very anxious. But Abby took great care of both my cat and my home.
Ghazaal is amazing! Always takes great care of our pup and leaves our house spotless clean. Also sends frequent updates and pictures which we appreciate.
Stephanie took great care of our three cats and dog while we were out of town! She was super easy to communicate with, gave us frequent, thorough updates on how everyone was doing, and sent lots of pics. Thank you Stephanie!
Andrew and Veronica took great care of our dog and house for two weeks! Our dog was showered with attention as Andrew works from home. We got regular updates and photos, and appreciated that our dog was happy and followed her daily routine. 0ur home was clean and the plants watered, and Andrew even offered to do some grocery shopping for us before we came back. They went above and beyond, and we would be happy to have them sit again!
Diane left the house spotless and our dog appeared healthy and taken care of. Diane was always very responsive to messages sent and sent a few photos.
Tay did a great job as always! This sit was over the 4th of July and one of my pups gets freaked out by fireworks and Tay volunteered to spend a lot of extra time with her to keep her calm.
Ashley did an amazing job watching my boys over Independence Day weekend. She even cleaned up the place before I got back! 10/10 would recommend!
Linh has watched my dog a few times and does a great job with her! I got videos every day from her which helped me be at ease knowing my pup was happy!
Mia was so patient and gentle with our nervous dog, Hiruko. Mia stayed for two weeks looking after Hiruko and our cat, Ella. She sent pictures and videos every day. And we came back to a spotless apartment and two very happy pets. We look forward to working with Mia again in future!
Kayla is great. She treated my dog as her own and even made her homemade treats. Kayla stayed with Yankee at my house for 9 nights. When we came home, Yankee was a happy pooch, and our house was the same as when we left. I'm not sure Yankee missed us........hahaha. Yankee hopes to have Kayla watch her again in the future. If you need a reliable, trustworthy pet sitter, you can count on Kayle.
Our dog Alpha immediately took to Margo when she arrived. Margo was personable and responsible and we completely trust her with the care of Alpha.
Really great communication, and extremely responsive. Followed instructions exactly, and I left a lot of instructions. Pets in good spirits upon our return. Really grateful they could stay the night with our senior pets. Medicine administration was required. House was exactly as clean as when we left.
Sam did a great job with our two senior pups, who each have a few challenges. She was able to get Kipper, our shy rescue pup, to warm up to her and eventually even snuggle with her. And she got Maisy, a sometimes reluctant walker, out the door and walking in the neighborhood. The house was left perfect. And she was a great communicator throughout her stay. I will definitely book with her again and recommend her highly. Thanks Sam!
Olivia was very flexible, trustworthy and easy to get in touch with. Our dogs loved being with her and we knew they had the best week with Olivia!
Julia was a joy to work with. Very attentive to our needs for our big guy. They spent 4 days house sitting and every step of the way communication was on point. We would highly recommend Julia to anyone anytime. Thanks again Julia for keeping our big pup happy while we were gone.
