“Erin came to our home and stayed with our furbabies while we went to Mexico. She was truly amazing with them, which put us at ease being away from home knowing they were in great care. She provided us with updates and photos throughout her stay. Cooper loved the walks she took him on. And Sasha loved her fun in the sun. We are so appreciative of Erin and the care she provided them. We would definitely book with her again. Thank you so much Erin!”


“Angel is a true 10/10 — seriously one of the best sitters we’ve ever had. From the start, he was kind, professional, and super easy to work with. He kept us updated consistently with photos and detailed check-ins, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Nala, Zeus, Tank, and Milo were clearly in great hands — happy, relaxed, and well cared for. You can tell Angel genuinely loves what he does. He’s reliable, respectful, and incredibly thoughtful with both our kids and property. If you want someone who’s trustworthy, communicative, and naturally great with animals, Angel’s the one. Would certainly rebook again!”


“Kelsie was great with my pups! She was very communicative and kind and they seemed to really like her. She was also very respectful and I would definitely recommend her services.”


About: I always grew up with pets in my home and loved all of them so much. I have been on Rover for a good amount of time now, having experience with all kinds of dogs, understanding that they have their own unique needs. I am a student athlete trying to make money for college by doing what I love. My schedule changes from week to week but I’m always available 12:00-4:00pm (unless I’m booked). Wednesday is usually my busiest day of the week. Least busy is Monday and Friday. Saturday and Sunday REALLY depend on the week. Some days I’m available all day, others only part of the day but I often flex my schedule. 👍 Since I currently don’t have any pets I will care for your cat/dog as if they are my own with lots of love. I will gladly send picture and video updates of your pet. I’m here because I genuinely love pets.

“Lisa is just wonderful! I felt very comfortable leaving both our senior dog, and our 1 year old puppy in her care. She's very nice. She arrived at the scheduled time. She was respectful of our home, it was just as I left it. She spent quality time with both our dogs and made sure they got outside plenty. I look forward to having her come back soon to take care of our pups.”


“Sarah was wonderful! She kept in contact with us to give updates on our senior pup and sent photos daily. After our meet up before booking I knew our pets would be in good hands and I’m so happy to have found her for future trips!”


“Brooklyn did a fantastic job of caring for our home and pets. She is very professional and a great communicator. We received plenty of photo updates and felt confident and comfortable that our dogs were in good hands. She definitely was patient and understanding with our dogs and their quirky personalities. We 10/10 recommend her!”


“Sierra was wonderful when we used her for dog sitting! She was very respectful of our home and our dog even got to enjoy an outing to In N out burger! We will definitely be using her again in the future! Thanks Sierra!!”


“Mollie stayed at our house for a week with our dog! She was fantastic and very communicative! Our dog absolutely adored her and we felt so lucky to have Mollie stay and take care of our dog and our house.”


“Paul was great with the pups and it’s nice to come home to a clean house. I loved all the pics he sent. I highly recommend him as a pup sitter. Would hire him again in a minute.”


“Elysia is very responsive, proactive, and sends great pics! I felt good about her watching over our pets and home while we were away. We came home to happy animals and a clean home. I’ll definitely book her in the future 💖”


“We are so happy we found Adam. At our initial meet and greet, he immediately got down on the floor with our dogs for a proper doggy intro. We have 2 huskies and a golden doodle and two cats, so there’s a lot of critters around when you walk in our house, and they get pretty rambunctious when they get excited. Adam was not at all phased by the craziness, and was ready to jump in and play with them. The day he came for the weekend, he got to the house right before we left and made sure he had all of the info he needed. He took the dogs on fun adventures and sent us great pictures and a nice message about how much he loves them all. Our doodle is a senior with some mobility issues, and he took great care of her also. Our cats are usually not out and about with new people right away, but even they spent the weekend getting loves. It’s always stressful having a new person in your house and taking care of your furry kids (especially when they are high maintenance like ours,) but Adam put us at ease and proved to be up to the task. When we got home, everyone was happy and the house was well taken care of. We’ve got a longer vacation coming up, and it’s a relief to know that we will have Adam here with the pack.”



“Emily stayed at my place for five nights to watch my Aussie, and she was amazing! She kept him happy, gave him lots of love and walks, and sent me updates so I knew he was doing great. I came home to a very happy pup and a house just the way I left it. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter.”


“Rose was great! Stayed with our herd overnight and even managed to get our under-the-weather dog to take her meds. Our 3 cats warmed up to her really quickly and everyone was happy when we got home.”


“Nicole, was an amazing sitter. She made sure to come before our booking to see the attitude of the boys and to see if they got along. During her stay, she did communicate and followed all the instructions that we gave to her. The boys seemed to love her. She also sent pictures to us when we were away. Nicole also made sure to clean even though we didn’t ask. We will be booking with her again if possible!”


“Geo did a wonderful job taking care of our cat Luna while we were on vacation. He is very responsible, kind, and caring. Our cat warmed up to him and he spoiled her by playing with her a lot and winning over her trust!”


About: I have had dogs most of my life. I raised them from puppies and rescued many in my adult life. I have cared for elderly dogs and those with various medical conditions and treatment programs. For the first time in awhile, I am without a dog. At the moment, I don't have the right space. That's why I am happy to love your dog, and support you in whatever routine you adhere to. I currently free lance and work independently remotely so I have flexibility in when and how long I work. I can work around your schedule. I cannot currently board dogs at my place. I can stay at your home which is often best as it is more familiar to your dog. It also allows me to maintain whatever regimen you are currently adhering to.

“Alexis was a terrific sitter for my two dogs, cat, and chickens. Everyone warmed up instantly to her and she took very good care of the animals and house. Will book again.”


“We were so happy Alex was available to watch Maisie again for us on our recent family trip. She kept us updated and Maisie absolutely loves spending time with her. We traveled stress free knowing our pup was well cared for during our trip 🙂”
