“This was our first time using Rover and we weren’t sure what to expect, especially when requesting service on short notice. John came over for a meet and greet, and our dogs were comfortable with him within minutes! He has an easy going, calm and gentle demeanor, which I think we can all appreciate. John came over the next morning right on time and we knew he’d take good care of our babies and our home. He kept us updated along with photos. Thank you for everything, John!”
“Audrey was able to come by for a visit and watch our pup at our home within fairly short notice. We appreciate the care and flexibility! We would definitely book Audrey again.”
“Jinni is great! We weren’t sure how our toy poodle would handle spending time with a stranger (he can be a little shy and this was our first booking). We were so happy to see him hanging out on her lap shortly after we left! Clearly Jinni’s calm, easy energy made him feel right at home. :) Highly recommend!”
“Justine was great! Very responsive, kept us updated the whole time with pics and text, flexible with pick up & drop off (esp considering our flight home was delayed), and was even kind enough to do a meet up beforehand to make sure our pup was comfortable while we were gone.”
“Dee was great, once again! She took care of my dogs with ease, further gained the trust of my most fearful dog, followed instructions for my post-op dog, and took great care of the house. Thank you again!!”
“Brittany was so great with our Blubird! It was our first time using Rover and we were nervous. She communicated daily, sent questions and updates, CLEANED OUR HOUSE!, and made us feel really comfortable while away. We will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Yesenia loved our dogs and did a wonderful job communicating while we were gone and she house sat for us. Multiple pictures a day and lots of dog walks, she really enjoys caring for our fur babies. We recommend using Yesenia if you need an animal/house sitter.”
“I’d recommend April to family and friends. She boarded at my house with my two big energy dogs and did great! She sent updates with photos while I was away and the boys were happy and tails wagging. Thank you April for snuggling them while I was away”
About: I have always had dogs growing up, anywhere from 1 to 3 at a time. I have had experience with huskies, labs, shih tzus, retrievers, pitbulls, and many more! After moving away from my dogs at home, I began working for a foster company to help house dogs in need before finding their forever home. I am an animal lover looking to spend time with and love on your animals when you need it! I currently work a full-time M-F job, but am available weekends and overnights to petsit. I am happy to petsit during the evenings throughout the week and anytime on weekends! I live in a no pet home, but I am happy to visit your home or stay at your place for longer periods of time to ensure your pet has the care that they deserve!
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Matilda was absolutely wonderful with our babies! They were kind, reliable, and clearly cared for our pups like their own. We came back to 4 happy and well-cared-for pups—couldn’t ask for more. Highly recommend!”
“Leo housesat for our many pets and did a wonderful job. They were communicative, sweet to our pets, and very respectful of our home. Everyone seemed very well cared for and we really appreciate the care!”
“Julia was amazing! She stayed at our home for a week and took such thoughtful care of our dog Shadow, our two cats Ollie and Athena, and our turtle tank. We loved receiving her daily updates and photos! It gave us real peace of mind while we were away. She followed all of our instructions closely and clearly treated our pets like her own. On top of that, our home was spotless when we returned. We’re so grateful for her care and would absolutely work with her again! Highly recommend Julia to anyone looking for a dependable, kind, and detail-oriented sitter! Thank you so much, Julia!”
“Alyssa is the 1st Rover sitter I've had. I've never had a stranger watch my beloved LuLu so I had some anxiety about it. Alyssa set me at ease immediately! She responded quickly and communicated effectively. She took great care of my princess! Would definitely use again!! ?”
About: Hi There! I've had all kinds of pets for my entire life. From rambunctious sheepdogs and sensitive chihuahuas, to gentle senior cats and curious kittens. I currently share my home with Stella, an 11 year old chihuahua/terrier mix, Raymond, a 15 year old domestic short hair cat, and Oscar, a nine-month old domestic short hair kitten, so I understand the unique needs of both senior pets and energetic youngsters! Whether it’s administering medications, offering extra patience for older pets, or keeping playful pups and curious kittens engaged and enriched, I bring attentiveness, compassion, and a calm, reassuring presence to every pet I care for. I’d love to give your pet the same level of love and care I give my own! I am currently available at all times during the week to attend to your pets. My flexible schedule allows me to take the time your pets need to eat, play and have genuine interactions with humans. I always ensure that collars with identifying tags are on before walks, and will never leave an animal out of my sight while caring for them. For households with cats, I am extremely cautious opening doors to the outside so as not to have an escapee on our hands. My number one priority is the safety of your pets, and that requires vigilance and focus.
“Kayla did a great job taking care of our goldendoodle Sulley. She followed every instruction we gave her for his routine and sent updates periodically to keep us comfortable. Highly recommend her for any house sitting with your dog!”
“I felt so comforted knowing that Karilou was taking care of our puppy in our home. She sent a lot of updates for how she was doing and our home was in perfect condition when we came back. We will definitely have her back.”
“We’ve had several cat sitters over the years, but Sara has truly set a new gold standard. From the very beginning, she was thoughtful, communicative, and clearly a true animal lover. But what really stood out was how comfortable and at ease our cats were with her — something that has never happened so quickly with anyone else. Every day, we received thoughtful updates and a ton of adorable photos that genuinely brightened our day and gave us peace of mind. It was so obvious from the pictures that our cats weren’t just being “watched” — they were cared for, played with, and loved. When we got home, the house was in beautiful shape, and our cats were relaxed and happy, not stressed or clingy like they’ve sometimes been after we’ve been away. It honestly felt like they had been on vacation too! Sara is the kind of sitter every pet owner hopes to find — trustworthy, attentive, and clearly devoted to the animals she cares for. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and will absolutely be booking with her again.”
“Calla was amazing with my girls! She takes great care to keep them on their routine and she sends regular pictures and updates. Both my dogs are very comfortable with Calla, and I always come home to happy, healthy pups. Will definitely book with Calla again!”
About: Hey! My name is Kim, and I'm excited to work together. A bit about me: My love for pets has always been a big part of my life. I volunteered in an animal shelter where I was in charge of feeding, cleaning, and caring for puppies, adult dogs, kittens, and cats. In addition, my family dog is 17 now and she is my pride and joy. She means everything to me, and I would treat your pet the same :) This passion has also landed me in a career in animal science where I hope to continue my work with more amazing animals. Looking forward to connecting! I am a graduate student in biology at SDSU. I work in a lab M-F from 9-5, however, I am able to leave throughout the day at any time for pet visits and walks. My priority is consistent and reliable pet care no matter the day/time! I'm looking forward to providing some cuddles and fun! I will work with you to provide any service necessary, including feeding, walking, and/or play-time. My time with your pet will be tailored by you, with lots of pictures and updates throughout my stay.
“Savannah was amazing! This booking was relatively last minute, and I haven't used Rover often, but our experience with Savannah could not have been better! Her presence and demeanor were very calming for BlueLu, as well as me, since she was a new friend to us. She communicated with me prior to her arrival to clarify time and location. She seemed very at ease being in a new environment, and able to handle our energetic and vocal dog. I would highly recommend booking her for your pet needs!”

Kimberly C.
“I've known Kim for a long time, and her deep love of all animals is evident in everything she does. I have seen it not only in her love and care for her king koi beta fish, but also the light of her life, Lale, her 17 year old Havapoo. She’s also eagerly and excitedly preparing to welcome a cat into her life! All animals are drawn to Kim when they meet her. She is attentive, responsible, and compassionate in every aspect of her care for them. You couldn't find a better caregiver for your pet in Kim, and you can rest assured that they are in the most capable, experienced, and loving hands while you're away!”

Talmadge pet parents share their Rover experiences
Matt was a fantastic sitter! He was timely, flexible, communicative, took lots of pictures, left a tidy home, and most importantly he took great care of my dog and two cats! One of my cats is very shy and seems to have even warmed up to Matt! Thank you so much for everything.
Rachel was fantastic! She was able to watch our dog on short notice and took extra great care of our pup and kitty. She was very calm and nurturing with our dog, which really helped with her separation anxiety. She also was easy to communicate with and sent us lots of updates. We would definitely recommend her for dog and house sitting!
We absolutely adore Lauren! I should stop leaving good reviews so others don’t steal her away, but she earns it every time. Our large/energetic dog and kitty love hanging out with Lauren and she plays with them so much while we’re away that they are absolutely wiped out by the time we return home. It’s perfect. Having a trustworthy sitter is amazing and we will continue to book her as long as she’s willing to come hang with our girls!
Kate did a fantastic job. She took over the care of our two-year-old Labrador mix (Bella), who we had just adopted a mere three weeks ago. Kate did a marvelous job of helping get Bella’s habits and manners consistently improved and her four day stay with Bella was near perfect quality. Highly recommended for anybody else seeking quality care for a pet. Most important, our rescue dog Bella, who we have had for only three weeks, clearly warmed up to kate immediately and they apparently had a fun time together. In addition, kate did a great job of taking care of our house. Packages were accepted and brought in, mail retrieved, and brought in, and items around the house that Bella wanted to get into were moved quickly out of the way. Kate also accepted the responsibility of giving Bella a substantial walk, over 30 minutes, every day. All told, Kate did a great job with our beloved rescue dog Bella.
Aylene is great! she dog sat our 3 year old, bailey & 4 month old puppy, odee & was so attentive and great w/ them! she kept texting me updates and is so communicative. :) we left feeding and potty instructions since our puppy isn’t trained yet & they had no accidents! I’d highly recommend Aylene & would use her services again!!
Kris is the most wonderful kitty sitter and house sitter imaginable! This is our second time having Kris stay at our home for an extended period of time while we were out of town. Having her take care of the kitties and the house while we were away for 2-weeks brought us so much peace of mind and allowed us to relax and unwind without any worries. She sent daily photos and videos and kept me posted on all pertinent details each day. She's extremely patient and flexible and went out of her way to find a solution to help my two picky eaters eat their wet food. She also did an amazing job keeping them entertained with lots of playtime. We returned home to two very happy and content kitties and a spotless house. She's an absolute gem and we are so grateful for her help! Kris will always be our go-to house sitter anytime we travel.
Laura was PHENOMENAL. Always sent the best, most hilarious and endearing updates of my pup Pita. It was so nice to not have to worry about her while I was gone. It's also so obvious that Laura really cares genuinely about providing quality care to the pups she's with, which made me feel even better about leaving my pup for a more extended period of time. She also left my apt tidy as ever which was so nice to come back to. 12/10 recommend!
Natalia did a good job meeting all Brady's needs while she stayed at the house. She did a really good job communicating with me of any questions or issues. She is a very nice and trustworthy person that went above and beyond to clean up after the puppy and provided feedback of any concerns or issues. I recommend her to anyone looking for a house sitter or general dog care.
