“Lyndsey was so great!!! I’ve been needing to find a perfect sitter for my babies and she definitely made it such a comforting time for me being gone and my dogs! Will definitely be rebooking with her!”

“Jeanne is such a delight. From the moment you meet her, you feel at ease and trusting with your pet(s). She will care for your home and pets just like her own. She has a loving nature about her in how she speaks of her own family. We felt completely at ease leaving our home and pet in her care. We will definitely use her again. Thank you Jeanne!!”

About: I have grown up taking care of my dog Bruce who is now 12 years old. Neighbors and friends have reached out to me to take care of and watch their dogs because they know I am someone they can trust. I am currently a life guard and an online college student with a flexible school schedule. I use dog sitting as my side hustle to make a little extra money along with my current job. I have taken care of dogs whose owners use kennels and a fenced in backyard for playtime, and also the opposite. This would be no kennel but keeping the dog inside when I leave, and taking the dog outside for playtime in a fenced in backyard. This depends on your preferences. I will feed, play with, and give potty breaks/outdoor playtime for your dog. I can also walk your dog for an extra charge.
“Casey is a 10 Plus. You can’t go wrong here. He goes above and beyond. Walked my dogs even my older dog and I am sure she loved it. He would keep in touch with me send pictures and updates ❤️. My house was spotless when I arrived which was soooooo nice . I am so HAPPY I found him. You can’t go wrong using Casey HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM”


“We can’t thank Lori enough for taking care of our 3 dogs. This is the second time we have asked Lori to watch them and she always takes great care of them and sends updates daily. She is the best and we will definitely be using her again!”

“"I'm not sure I ever want to use another house sitter ever again" - my girlfriend a few moments before we went to bed on the freshly washed sheets in our spotless apartment Couldn't agree more. Raymell and Serenity were simply amazing. This was our first time using any app to have a pup watched, and for house sitting in general, and I am so glad we found Ray and Serenity. They were in constant communication with us our entire 5 day trip. We received updates for Ushi (our 12 week boston puppy), great pictures, and came back to our apartment cleaner than we left it (and I thought it was pretty damn clean!). All instructions we left for them were followed, and they promptly asked questions the moment they were unsure about anything. If I could leave more stars I would. We got stuck in San Diego a little longer than expected due to the tropical storm and Ray and Serenity were EXTREMELY accommodating and empathetic to our situation. THANK YOU BOTH!”

“Yvette did a great job. We have an aggressive dog so our situation isn’t the easiest for most sitters but she kept everyone safe and our home clean. We would highly recommend her.”

“Having Ayisha at our place was just amazing. She was super nice with our dog. She kept us updated throughout the entire stay and even went out of her to help us solve a small issue at home. We are so grateful for her care and kindness. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to take care of their pets. We ll definitely be calling her again!”

“Ann was amazing! She took such good care of our babygirl and our house while things were going wrong lol. Would definitely recommend her for taking care of your pets while you can’t.”

“Kristi was excellent. We have a family friend who normally comes and watches our dogs, but she was out of town during our time away, so we were a little nervous (and excited!) to try out Rover. Before the actual appointment, Kristi did a meet and greet with our two dogs, which was super helpful to ensure the dogs had met and vibed with her. During our 3-day weekend away, Kristi stayed with our dogs and was very responsive throughout. She followed instructions, sent us photos, and, probably most helpful of all (to me), was confident and reassured us our dogs were in good hands! It's tough for me to part with my dogs in a situation like this, but she put me at ease the very first day. Best of all, we came home to two happy dogs! :) Would definitely book with Kristi again!”

“Jen is amazing! She's a smart and compassionate care giver who not only went above and beyond to take great care of our dogs, she took great care of our house as well. I will not hesitate to hire her again!”

“Kayla was great! She was willing to stay in our home to watch our pups and showed them lots of love! We received photos and videos which is a big plus for us! Will definitely rebook!”

“The perfect sitter! I have two big dogs. They are awesome but 150lbs of dog can be a handful. He handled them like a pro and they adore him. I look forward to booking again. I felt so comfortable being away from the house knowing they were in great hands.”

“Anna is amazing! We booked her for a long house sitting service and she went above and beyond, making sure our dogs were taken care of, got their medication and kept us updated with pictures and videos of our two dogs and made sure we came home to a clean house. She’s definitely an ideal sitter”

About: Since I was a child I have been in charge of caring for our family animals. This has given me experience in care of so many different animals. I have experience from abandoned newborn animals to senior care. My animal experience mostly is with dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets, birds, pigs, Guinea pigs, pet spiders, and even a cayman. I have no full time commitments so I am open to helping people and their animals any time it is needed. I would prefer morning daytime or evening. I have 3 cats and 2 small dogs. We also have a fenced in backyard. I also have no children so my animals are my babies.

About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life—my father was a veterinarian, my mother a teacher—and I’ve looked after countless fur babies of all kinds. Pets are among the most precious parts of our lives. ❤️ I truly love caring for animals and making them feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and pay close attention to their routines, personalities, and needs. Whether it’s playtime in the yard, walks at the park, or cuddle time, I make sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for. I provide exercise, playtime, potty breaks, and loving attention tailored to each pet’s personality and energy level. I have the flexibility to care full-time for pets in my home or yours, with reliability and genuine love. If house sitting, I can also help with small household tasks so your home stays comfortable and maintained while you’re away. In Hawaiian, a pet caretaker is called a Kahu—which means guardian, protector, and steward of something cherished. This meaning really resonates with me and take that role seriously while caring for your fur baby, providing love, attention, and safety as if they were my own.💕 For pets boarding at my home, I provide a kennel and dog bed for convenience so you don’t have to transport yours, but you’re welcome to bring your own! Work-from-home sitter giving your fur baby (and home, if housesitting) love, attention, and playtime. Huge fenced backyard and nearby parks for walks—updates and photos sent so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and spoiled! I follow all care instructions, administration of medicine schedules and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while doing my best to stay on their schedule at home that they are used to. My grandchildren sometimes visit to give extra love, but if your dog doesn’t get along with children, they won’t be present. Certified in CPR & Pet First Aid (08/2025) with verification badges in my photo gallery. I love building long-term relationships so your fur baby looks forward to coming back!
Sycamore pet parents share their Rover experiences
I cannot say good enough things about Raymell! She was wonderful watching my golden retriever, she was in the best care while I was gone. I received constant updates and photos. She went above and beyond. I will 100% be rebooking for her in the future. Wish I could give her more than 5 stars for treating my baby as her own while I was gone.

Arrived early and was able to stay later than anticipated! She arrived to the hotel early and kept my dog company until our return. My dood is very Velcro and gets anxious when we leave. “Sue” was able to reassure her and kept her calm and quiet and those avoiding any hotel guests complaining…Highly recommend!! Will definitely contact her again for our next visit to the area.

We had a great experience with Corrina. She was super responsive and responsible with our dogs. The most important thing for us is the safety and wellbeing of our dogs and they were exactly the same when we returned as when when we had left, which is the only thing I could ever ask for. We look forward to our next sitting!
