Jose did a great job taking care of our 2 pups. They really enjoyed hus company. He sent pictures and gave us updates every day. When we got home the house was just as neat and clean as we left it. I would definitely use Jose again.

Lisa is so amazing! We have a new-to-us furbaby that we adopted a few weeks ago, and needed to be out of the house for a while due to plans we'd made months before. We didn't know how our little dog would do going into someone else's house so soon after coming home from the shelter, so I asked if Lisa would be willing to dog-sit in our home, and to come meet us beforehand. She agreed, and took such wonderful care of our little shy fella, texting updates and pictures so we wouldn't worry. It is such peace of mind to know that someone like Lisa is able to care for your pets just like you would. Do not hesitate to hire her!

I recently had the pleasure of hiring Fernando for home pet sitting my two dogs, and I couldn't be more satisfied with his service. From the moment he arrived, it was clear that Fernando has a genuine love for animals and a professional approach to pet care. Fernando was incredibly attentive to their needs, ensuring they were fed, walked, and given plenty of playtime and affection. He sent regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. The house was also well-maintained, and everything was in perfect order when I returned. I highly recommend Fernando for anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. His dedication and love for animals truly set him apart. Thank you, Fernando, for taking such wonderful care of my furry family members!

About: I have owned a cocker spaniel all my life until he passed, currently own another cocker spaniel named felix and he’s a cocker rescue from South Korea. I am a currently a college student business major at UC Riverside and I am in need of some extra cash, I would be beyond grateful if you trusted me to care for your dog ! I currently work a job where I work weekends and Thursdays. My availability will be updated so please refer to the schedule there. Pet care comes second nature to me and I treat it like I would be checking up on any other friend. I am a natural when it comes to meeting new pets and I enjoy spending time with animals because it’s my form of therapy. Along with my mother, I spend time helping her by cleaning Felix’s paws after he goes out after walks. I feed Felix food with organic kibble bedded on the bottom usually topped with wet food, bananas, or lamb or chicken to give him all the nutrients to help his stool. When we first got felix from the rescue kennel, his stool was very watery so this did the trick to getting him back to healthy standards. Felix is a happy healthy cocker spaniel rescue.

For years, Douglas has been the best cat dad ever. He gives his cats, and those of his friends, lots of love and attention, including brushing and grooming. He keeps the cats' litter boxes clean and non-smelly. Douglas is definitely the person that a cat would choose as his/her caregiver. As to dogs, my sister has had large, difficult dogs for years, and Douglas has cared for them, walked them, fed them, and played with them in a caring and patient way. It's amazing to watch. Douglas is also totally dependable. He will absolutely follow the requests of humans who leave their pets in his care. Douglas is also very smart and discerning. If anything were to go wrong while a pet is in his care, he would handle the situation calmly and professionally. I can't think of anyone I would prefer to care for my pets than Douglas.

Kristine was so respectful of our home and kept it as clean as I left it for her when we had her house sit and keep my dog company. She gave me photo updates as frequently as I had asked. Everything went smoothly and perfectly. I will happily book her again the next time we need a pet sitter.

About: I own a neapolitan mastiff, Dachshund, and two cats so I know how to take care of and deal with all different sizes and shapes of dogs and cats. I’ve also owned many different types of fish and reptiles and cared for them so I would be open to any kind of sitting/walking or caring you might need. I’m currently in school but I’m available a majority of the time every day. Please contact me for information about booking or to check availability. I treat all dogs with kindness and like they are my own. Maintaining safety is one of my top priorities along with making sure that my care is as good as I can make it. Their are many good pet sitters out there but I try to give your animal what they need with flexibility and security in you knowing that your pets are safe.

About: I have fond memories of growing up with all types of pets, both big and small dogs! This has given me great experience as to how to care and handle all types of dogs. I’ve often pet sat for my family while they were away, and I always made sure the dogs had enough play time, were walked, fed on time, and were cleaned up after! I’ve taken care of dogs from their early ages, and beyond. So I understand when they are young, they need LOTS of attention, and when they are older, they need lots of attention and possibly special care. I’ve even helped some of my friends train their young dogs! Not too long ago i found a great pyrenees wandering, and i was fostering him and training him on my own! As soon as I graduate and move into my career, i will definitely have many dogs of my own. As of right now though I unfortunately dont have the time or space for a dog of my own. However, i still understand that they are more than just pets, they are family! Hopefully i will hear from you soon and i will be ready to meet you guys! I currently work a part time job, but it’s extremely flexible and I'm willing to incorporate any type of schedule needed into my own! On the weekends of the mornings is when i am the most free! Whenever I would walk my pets, I would ensure that their collar and leash are secure, i have doggie bags, and i am carrying pepper spray (to protect the both of us). Before walking, especially if it is during the day, I always put my hand on the concrete for 5-10 seconds, just to make sure the floor will not burn their sensitive paws. Depending on the dog and how long the walk is, sometimes i will bring water and treats! I also make sure to watch the behavior of dogs while indoor to ensure there are no accidents inside! I am very understanding of dogs behavior, and i can usually tell what they are comfortable with, and what they are uncomfortable with.

Thank you so much Esther ! The dogs were excited we were home but I could tell they had a great time and were well taken care of! I’ve always had great things to say about Rover sitters and never had a any bad experiences. My dogs are always happy and I’m glad the services can be provided in the comforts of their own home where they feel the most comfortable and safe. Esther was very responsive and communicative any time we reached out while we were away. Any questions she had she would always reach out to me. We did a meet and great before she took on the job to make sure she was comfortable with my puppies! Over all just happy my puppies were very well taken care of. Thank you so much!
