Trina was awesome. On-time, very respectable, and my dog loved her immediately. I felt very assured my pet was in good care as she sent many photos of my dog throughout the booking. Will happily book with her again and would recommend to anyone looking for a sitter.

About: I am new to Rover but I have been pet sitting for friends and through word of mouth for the last five years! It is always a joy for me! I am currently working part time so I have a lot of time to help others with pet care. I can travel to you and I can stay over night. I am able to stay with your pet and keep them company over night or just for a visit. I’m used to caring for dogs and cats!

Jenna was great with Kona and Bacci. We had booked her for house sitting but since it's a holiday weekend we allowed her to do some drop-ins. She had played with our dogs, fed them properly and made sure they did their business. We will use her again the next time we need a sitter.

Aurora was truly a gift having her dog-sit our precious girl Sadie. She was caring, responsive, gave many updates throughout the long weekend and made me feel at ease while I was away knowing that my dog was in good hands. Thank you Aurora. You are top on my list for future dog-sitting needs.

Su took great care of my senior dog. She provided regular updates, asked questions when not sure and patiently took him on walks. She left my house in the same shape I left it in. When I got home my dog did not complain one bit which is a first for him :).

Amy is the best dog sitter we could have asked for. I pride myself on how much I take my dogs on adventures but Amy even surpassed what I do for my own dog! Amy took my dog on numerous wonderful adventures while sending me amazing pictures from their adventures. When Amy left she left a gorgeous hand drawn picture of our dog. I recommend Amy to anyone with a pet that they like and want to leave in good hands. 5 stars. A+ dog sitting! Will hire again!

About: I’m not just a pet sitter — I’m a true dog lover who understands the patience, care, and consistency it takes to make pups feel happy and secure. I’ve raised my own puppy from the start, learning firsthand how to train basic obedience commands and encourage good habits through positive reinforcement. I love spending time with dogs — whether it’s playing fetch, going for long walks, or just giving them the attention they deserve. I treat every dog I care for like my own, making sure they feel loved, safe, and well-exercised. You can count on me to be friendly, reliable, and trustworthy while helping your dog stay active, happy, and well-behaved! I am currently working with my company WFH and have flexibility of making my own hours. Weekends Tuesday, Thursday and Friday work best. But if I have 1 weeks notices whole week can work just need prior notice. Pets are welcome to be at our place. I have a 1 year old puppy at my place if not I am available to be at clients place. I live in 2 bed room apartment fenced long back patio. My dog is well behaved and house trained and loves dog company. I live very close to the beach 3 minutes walk and large grass areas around for pet to be relived. I have a large crate at home just in case clients need and dont need to get their own. I will be able to dog on regular potty breaks. Walk your dog separately so they can get all the attention they deserve while dog walks.

Jennifer is incredibly kind and genuinely cares about animals. She is also very responsible and communicative. She sends regular updates with photos and videos throughout the day, so we feel connected even when we’re away. The house is always spotless when we return — she keeps everything very clean and tidy, way beyond what we expect. She’s reliable, professional, and truly a joy to work with. If you’re looking for a trustworthy pet sitter who treats your home and pets like her own, look no further. Jennifer is the best! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone.

About: I have had a dog almost my entire life. I love animals of all kinds and will help you out with your dog if needed. I will take your dog on walks and give you updates along the way of our progress. I do have a job that I work in the morning and am free every afternoon. I have a dog myself that I love very much. I rescued her when she was a baby and it was a long process on getting her to where she is now. She was traumatized. She’s now 12 years old and as everyone says..... “she’s the best dog in the world.” If you need help walking your dog or day time feeding, hit me up. I’d be happy to help.

About: Hi! I'm a SAHM and lifelong dog lover. I grew up with two French Bulldogs, Chihuahua and a Pomeranian, so I’m very familiar with small breeds and their unique personalities. I can confidentially say as a SAHM I am provide care in a clean, calm apartment environment where pets are always supervised. Because I’m home most of the day, dogs are rarely left alone and receive consistent attention and care. We have a nearby dog park for safe, supervised outings, and I also provide 2–3 walks per day depending on your pup’s needs and energy level. I closely follow feeding schedules and owner instructions, and I’m comfortable crating if needed to maintain your dog’s routine. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness is my top priority.

About: Hi, my name is Jasmin. I’m a lifelong animal lover and the proud owner of 2 dogs, whom I’ve raised since they were puppies. I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 12 years old, with experience caring for all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs. I’ve also been a trusted sitter for my relatives' and friends' pets whenever they needed help. In addition, I’m happy to care for cats, fish, and birds as well. I understand how important it is for your pets to feel loved and safe while you’re away. That’s why I’m committed to providing the highest level of care, ensuring you can relax knowing your fur babies are in good hands. Caring for animals has always been my passion, and I’d love the opportunity to provide your pets with the attention they deserve. I can’t wait to meet your fur babies! I work from home as an E-commerce Operations specialist, which allows me the flexibility to provide personalized care for your pets. My daily routine includes plenty of time to give your pets the attention and affection they deserve, whether it's playtime, walks, or simply keeping them company. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. In my home, I provide a safe and pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for them to relax and explore. I ensure that any pet I care for has a consistent routine, with plenty of attention, playtime, and rest. When sitting in a client’s home, I respect their space while maintaining a comfortable and secure environment for their pets. I follow any specific instructions for feeding, medication, and activities to ensure they feel at ease. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience for both you and your pet.

Francis was a fantastic sitter, providing high-attention care of both our pets and our house while we were away. He took careful notes, tracked medications, proved highly flexible with unexpected changes, and even managed to make quick friends with our elusive cats. Francis is the first sitter to interview us during the meet-and-greet, rather than the other way around. From the moment we met, we knew that Francis was a different kind of sitter. Francis is a caretaker. We strongly recommend Francis for your pet and house sitting needs.

About: You can rest assured your furry friend will be in capable hands! I’ve cared for two dogs of my own—one since puppy age to old age, and I currently have a 2yr old pup. I enjoy training dogs/believe this is a great way for bonding. I also enjoy being active and playing or taking dogs on walks. I work full time Monday through Friday, therefore weekends are the best if your dog requires round the clock care. If your dog just needs a morning walk and attention in the evening after I am off work, then I can look after them any day of the week. Personally, I like to keep dogs to their daily routine if possible. I do have a 2 year old dog who is very playful and loves to make new friends. Your furry friend would be coming along on our morning and evening walks and a part of before bed playtime!

Taylor did an amazing job caring for our 15-year-old dog, Jake. She was always on-time, responds quickly to messages, and kept us updated while we were away. Jake is slow to walk at his age, and Taylor was so patient and gentle with him every step of the way. We truly appreciate her kindness and reliability, and we would absolutely trust her with Jake again.
