“Kristina was amazing! She took great care of my dog coco for the day! She eased my anxiety and was super sweet! She sent me pictures and videos throughout the day to update me. Coco would love to come back in the future!”


“Dorcas is amazing. She’s watched Mookie a few times now. I love that Mookie is happy to stay when we need to leave her. She communicates well and takes her out for multiple walks a day. I love the pictures and updates.”

“Great with accommodating last minute request. Professional and friendly. Love that they gave a friendly dog that my dog got to play with to not be alone during his stay. Will book again.”

About: I grew up in a home where both of my parents were dog trainers and ran a boarding and breeding business, so I’ve been around dogs my entire life and learned a lot about proper care, behavior, and handling. I’m confident with dogs of all temperaments and understand how to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I treat every pet like my own and give them plenty of attention and affection. I truly love animals and always prioritize their well-being. I’m already committed to my 10k steps daily walks, and will be committed to feeding, playtime, and providing lots of love and attention. I enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I care for every dog like they’re my own. I make sure they stay on their regular routine with feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, fresh water, and lots of love and attention. I also send photos/videos and updates so pet parents can feel at ease while they’re away.

“I couldn't be happier with Juan's pet-sitting service! He not only took excellent care of Conchita but also went the extra mile by sending adorable photos throughout the day, providing peace of mind. Juan's professionalism and genuine love for animals make him the ideal pet sitter. Five stars without a doubt!”

“Emily and her family are always reliable and a real joy for Boots. Boots always has the best time and comes home pleasantly tired. We trust them wholeheartedly with Boots’ wellbeing and happiness. We are repeat happy clients. :)”


About: For most of my childhood, I never was allowed to have a pet, despite being so eager to have one. However, I did know many friends and families who had dogs and cats, whom I would visit frequently. I would help feed them, walk them, play with them, give them gentle petting when they were receptive, etc. As a teenager I moved around a lot with my single mother and my younger sister, so I got to live with a few different pet owners: One of my adult roommates had an old senior Shih Tzu. The sweet girl had poor vision and moved slowly, but I did my best to help my roommate and handled her dog with care everyday. Another woman I lived with had two cats; the male was affectionate and friendly, and the female was the feisty and shy one. I approached both very differently, aware of their boundaries, and formed a sweet bond with both :) Then my mother’s friend, who had a bunny! I learned a lot about how to give them healthy and fulfilling lives. Bunnies are very high maintenance, yet admittedly my favorite animal to care for. It’s why I actually ended up having a pet rabbit to spend every day with when I lived with my grandmother for years. I’m now living in a faraway town and unable to see my sweet bunny as often, but I’m most experienced in rabbit care and grooming!! All in all, I get along with most animals, and I find animals of all types just precious, even during the more lackluster aspects of having them. I understand each pet is their own individual with unique needs and I will always be attuned to that. I feed crows and pigeons (not around other animals though), I photograph insects and reptiles… yes, I just love animals and living creatures. I have plenty of money saved, but currently no income coming in because I don’t have a job. This is a way I am trying to make money to continue to save up for life expenses. As a result, I am literally free whenever, haha! I have no defined schedule whatsoever, but I do have routines and a list of hobbies I’d love to pursue in my journal. I get up early in the morning to walk around my neighborhood usually, and I do the same during sunset. The rest of the day depends; sometimes I read non-fiction, other times I head to Lake Evans, or see a live music performance at a cafè. I also dedicate some entire days to activism and fundraisers, so if I’m unavailable to care for a pet I will simply be upfront about that! I have a two story house, and it’s quite spacious! For rabbits or other animals that need an extra danger-proof house, the floors are almost completely free of things that pose any danger (such as sharp objects or accessible wires), and can be blocked off when there are visitors. The house has a mix of smooth wooden and carpeted flooring. I have three roommates, but only one is consistently staying in the house, and spends most time outside of the house. She has expressed permission to allow an animal every once in a while, she is trustworthy, and I would never leave an animal around any other human being unsupervised. The house also has a spacious backyard with high fencing and grass. The neighborhood itself is fantastic for dog walking! There’s a walkway with trees, flower bushes, small fields of grass, and it’s a hotspot for hummingbirds haha.
“Amazing dog sitter! Very communicative and kept me updated with messages and photos throughout the stay. Great experience and highly recommend. Thank you for taking good care of Mr Oliver!”

“Christopher was amazing! He continuously provided me with pictures and videos while I was at work and that helped ease my mind throughout the day. I knew my anxious pup was in good hands. He also taught her some new tricks! I would definitely use Christopher’s services again.”

About: I have been a life long dog lover. I grew up on a ranch with many animals which is where my love if animals started. I have always been the go-to person for friends and families who need help dog sitting while they are away. I have experience and background clearance through Riverside County Sheriffs Animal Services as a volunteer and dog foster. When your pet is in my care, they will be treated as my own with love and structure. I am a full time teleworker. I am home with my own dog daily. I am able to tend to the dog’s needs anytime and regularly take short lunch walks to manage energy. I have a fenced yard and multiple kennels in the home, if needed. I prefer to have dogs that can be comfortable in the space without being in a kennel, but it is available if the pup prefers a kennel. If I am caring for the pet in another home, regular check-ins in a scheduled basis.
About: My passion for animals began when I was a young child. Being able to turn my love for animals into something tangible has been a dream come true. I was able to start my pet sitting experience 25 years ago and hoping to continue to add many more years! My range with experience includes rodents to dogs. If your pet has special food requirements, I can be of service . I’ve stayed over at clients homes to offer pet care. I’ve had fur babies stay overnight at my home. I’ve also housed day camps at my home. I enjoy taking fur babies on walks, and to local parks. I don’t mind taking fur babies in the car. Feel free to ask for more details on services I may have forgotten to mention! I am available Monday-Sunday all day. During the regular school year, I would need to be available to drop my kids off for school and pick them up. I am a doting pet mommy of 8 indoor kitties and 1 doggie. They all have access to whatever tickles their fancy. There is always ample water available at all times. Cats graze all day so food bowls are placed around for them to get to but high enough the dog cannot get to it. My pets and the pets of my clients have been able to sleep where ever the want (couch, cat trees, chairs, beds, etc). We are a super loving family and really love having fur babies around. We hope to welcome yours! One final note, I don’t allow my dog or the fur babies of my clients to stay outside overnight . Everyone is tucked inside for the night. When I need to step away from my home, I will typically ask the echo dot to play music for background noise.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 14 years, and have experience in basic dog training. I also can wash, and cut nails. I am also experienced in administering medicine (such as pills and ear ointment) and im super affectionate :). Booking day care and sitting with me also includes 24/7 access to dog cameras, so any parents can check on their pup ♥️ I am home majority of the day, I am able to give your pet attention and quality play time and frequent breaks throughout the day. Every once and a while 1-2 friends will stop by briefly, but that’s for 2-3 hours max. I am good at updating my clients their condition of their pup. I also have a fenced yard, and ample time dedicated to your pet. Pet owners that book with me also get special access to doggie cameras to check on their pet’s welfare.

About: Taken care of animals always make me happy. It's my passion to see pet parents happy and their babies happy. Giving lots of love to. Setting a day and time helps with keep track of who im visiting. That way the babies are always thought of and taken care of. Making sure their always on a leash, door stays closed, fed properly, help with potty training, your baby is my baby I treat like mine.
About: Hi guys! My name is hailee I am 20 years old. And I just quit my job to pursue my own tufting business. I signed up for rover as an extra side hustle, along with Uber eats. So now I will be working more from home and have the time to really focus on my passion.-Creating- I am very excited to try rover out, as I have always been around / had animals all my life. I grew up on a ranch, till high school and always cared for big and small animals, not just dogs and cats. I can also care for birds too, and even reptiles! I know it doesn’t list aviation breeds or reptiles on this app. But I’m your girl haha! I have a ball python named Mazekine who is about 2 years old, sherbet my crested gecko, and mr.turtle my red ear slider. And if you haven’t checked out my pet profile, pico Rico my duskyy conure. So Don’t be shy about inquiries on different types of animals! We can chat more in the dms if you have any concerns or questions :). Best regards and best of luck on finding your perfect sitter! . Working from home / out doing Uber eats during free time . Working on my own tufting business . I have 2 dogs of my own who are very active and go out to the park almost 3 times a day, everyday. So we will have plenty of opportunities for exercise, and to play/ make doggie friends .Prefer a 2, 3 day notice prior to watching, so I know what to plan/settle, and get things all comfortable for your upcoming furbabies stay. . Prefer dogs potty trained, but will accommodate if still in training. I live in a gated apartment community, by university of riverside. I have a front porch area where the dogs can play around for getting some fresh air, but most of our outside time would be by either taking walks, or trips to the park/ dog park. (if allowed) most of my apartment complex is blacktop so I try to limit the running- and depending on the weather, for the concern of their paws. ( we don’t want no cracking, peeling, or red patitas) / I have access to two vehicles for transport incase of emergencies. And Our neighbors are all pretty friendly and are dog people so we shouldn’t bump into any problems in that area :) again please feel free to send me a message, with any questions, concerns, or notes you might want to discuss.

Winnie is incredibly kind and thoughtful. She took the time to learn about my dog, Zoe, before even meeting her, which I really appreciated. Zoe immediately felt comfortable with Winnie — she played with her and even laid next to her during their time together, which says a lot! Winnie provided regular updates, which gave me great peace of mind. I would absolutely love to have Winnie watch Zoe again whenever I’m not able to. Highly recommend!
