“Ashley is awesome! She came to my home and took care of my brand new puppy, who has quite a demanding schedule. I was a super anxious new puppy mom and she put me at ease, kept me updated, and was super flexible and accommodating. Basil loved her and I felt like he was in great hands. Absolutely recommend!”
“This was our second time booking with G’la, and once again, she absolutely knocked it out of the park! She took care of our dog Finn and cat Tuna while we were in Mexico for our wedding, and knowing they were with someone they already loved made all the difference. Our boys adore her! It’s clear they feel safe, spoiled, and totally at home in her care. She kept us updated with sweet photos and thoughtful check-ins, and we came home to two very happy pets (and a clean house!). G’la is trustworthy, kind, and just really gets animals. We wouldn’t leave Finn and Tuna with anyone else. Five stars, every time!”
“Cara recently took care of Ralphie when I had an unexpected dogsitter cancellation. It was awesome that she was able to come by for a last minute meet-and-greet - Ralphie really loved her and I liked that she is punctual, accommodating, and gave regular updates. I came home to a happy dog and a clean place!”
“Della was incredibly responsive, warm, and caring to our dog! She sent lots of photos during the two day house stay and made sure our dog Pua got her medicine. We came home to a spotless house and homemade cinnamon roles in the fridge. Pua told us she had a great time with her new friend, would definitely recommend Della!”
“Qishu was a great, she clearly really loves dogs and cats and they love her. She was very reliable and easy to communicate with. She sent informative updates with pictures so we knew everything was ok. I would definitely book with her again!”
“He followed all of my instructions to a T and was a great house guest. I really appreciate how fast he communicated with me throughout the process. My dog normally barks at people and his calm presence was a nice fit to keep Kuta calm.”
“I had Esteban house sit to look after my big, rambunctious dog Sable for 6 days. Not only did Esteban take amazing care of my dog, he left the house in incredible condition. All my dog’s needs were met, and he sent regular pupdates. I’m a very anxious person and it was my first time using Rover, but Esteban put me at ease and I am so glad I decided to go with him. I would 100% use Esteban again if I ever leave town. I believe it’s safer and easier on my dog than boarding her at a dog hotel. You da man, Esteban!”
“Cleopatra watched my cat for 5 weeks, I’m a first time pet owner and was leaving my baby for the first time, needless to say I was nervous! She was amazing from start to finish, super responsive, she sent me lots of pics of my very happy and spoiled cat :) If you’re considering booking with Cleopatra, I can’t recommend her enough. The peace of mind to know that my pet was in good hands was priceless!”
“Ariana is wonderful! She sends frequent updates and pictures and you can tell she really loves dogs. Our Boxer puppy Hank, loves her. She also kindly deals with my nuerosis about leaving him. Highly recommended!”
“Victoria was very calm, collected and kind. She was flexible with our last minute needs and able to handle our very high energy doberman puppy with ease. Will be booking again - 10/10!”
“Dennis did an awesome job caring for our special needs dog who suffers from DM. Our dog needs the assistance of a wheelchair for mobility, and Dennis took on the challenge confidently- with patience and understanding. He sent plenty of pictures and updates, and followed our instructions perfectly. I highly recommend!”
“Pups got superb care - could not have asked for a better sitter. Great and descriptive updates, and loving attention to detail. Has gained an incredible amount of trust from us!!”
About: Ciao! My name is Matt and I'm very excited to have the opportunity to meet you and some of the amazing pets we have here in the city. I currently live near the rose garden/Piedmont. I live close to several other parks, and I always enjoy meeting new pet friends that come my way. I really don't have many restrictions, but all I ask is that if you are interested in meeting to discuss my services that we have great communication (whether it's email, call/text, etc.) I work from home during the week and actively get outside myself, so I'm sure we could work something out if you need help with your pet! Comfort and exercise go hand-in-hand in my experience. Play time and treats are always possible. Companionship is a must and routine is our next best friend.
“William was highly communicative, responsible, and trustworthy for us as he houses sat for us for 6 days. He was also patient with our shy dog and made sure to put in the work to get him to warm up to him. William was frequent with walks and pics/messages to keep us in the loop. Hope to use William for future stays and definitely recommend him and his services!”
“Angela was amazing! She offered to do a meet and greet before sitting, which was perfect for my dog who is a little wary of new people. I also got plenty of updates and pictures. And I was able to enjoy my time away worry free because she was in such good hands.”
“Judy was wonderful! She stayed with Hunky at our house over the Thanksgiving holiday, and everything went perfectly. We definitely hope she will take care of Hunky again!”
“This was my second time working with Zsa-Zsa and she was great! Her communication leading up to the stay and during the stay was thorough and detailed. My dogs were excited to see her when she arrived at the house; that’s always a good sign!”
“Shelly was a great sitter! She kept me updated with adorable pictures of Felix and made me feel at ease with leaving him home alone for the first time. She was dedicated to making sure Felix had everything he needed, thanks so much!”
“Michael took amazing care of our 5 month old high energy puppy and two cats while we were away! We received updates every day and he was easily reached. He was very professional and left our house better than he found it. Would 100% book again next time we need a sitter”
“Sara was wonderful! She took our Daphne on some fun park adventures while we were gone, maintained contact, and was very respectful of our home. Friendly and trustworthy, we are looking forward to hiring her again in the future!”

Upper Rockridge pet parents share their Rover experiences
I left my bestie with Cara for 2 weeks and I am so glad I did. She gave me daily updates and asked questions when she had them. She left my apartment clean and my pet cat happy! I am so grateful to have found her so I could enjoy my international trip!
Layle was a fantastic cat sitter and had great communication with me. I will definitely ask her to cat sit again. My cat loved her since he met her for the first time. Thanks, Layle! :)
Jasmine has stayed at our house several times now while we have been away overseas on vacation. She takes care of the house and our cat, and does an excellent job. She sends a daily photo of the cat plus a short report (sometimes two), which we enjoy. This time we asked her to administer eye drops to our cat's eye as he recovers from a corneal ulcer. We appreciated this. Jasmine is a very dependable and personable house sitter, and we recommend her.
Ariana is a very trusted, reliable overnight sitter! She was very detail oriented and patient with our large breed teenage puppy. He quickly warmed up to her and adjusted to her reinforcement of our training. We are so grateful for all the steps and playtime she got in, keeping him tired and happy!
Aman is quick to reply and very communicative. It's clear our pit bull, Munchie, loves spending time with him, which puts our dog parent nerves at ease while we're away. He takes the extra time and effort to bring her out and about to other parts of town for a diversity of walks, which we appreciate because car rides are one of Munchie's favorite activities. With Aman, you'll come home to a happy and healthy dog.
Ana was incredible with my cats! They’re very high maintenance and have a lot of meds but Ana took everything in stride and the cats took to her! She was super communicative the entire time I was gone.. giving me real time updates and letting me know how long she’d be away. Go grateful for her care!!
Alix did an excellent job taking care of Cassie. She was prompt and friendly and very responsible. When our plane was delayed, she was very sympathetic and stayed longer than requested to make sure our dog, who has separation anxiety, was not left alone too long. We will definitely be using her again.
Brady was a wonderful dog/cat/house sitter, we would absolutely trust him to care for our critters again. Everything went super smoothly, I loved getting some pictures and videos of our buds while we were away. Thanks Brady!
Sam is fantastic, a true master communicator with dogs. She adores living their lives with them, taking them out on the trails and playing their favorite games. Couldn’t be happier to leave our pup in her hands when we’re out of town.
Dawnly was so responsive and willing to jump in and help out when we needed last minute coverage. Our dogs are not the friendliest with newcomers, and they handled them our babies with love and grace. They took great care of our fur babies and were very communicative when they had questions to give our babies the best care. One of our dogs requires meds and Dawnly carefully followed the schedule for administering meds. We would love to work with them again.
Gus was great! We were lucky to have him watch our older dog and house. He was very easy to coordinate with and he was a great guest.
Abraham was communicative and flexible. He cared well for our cat, sending us pictures so that we didn't miss the little kitty too much. He kept things tidy around our home. We would definitely hire Abraham again and recommend him to friends and family.
This was our second time booking with G’la, and once again, she absolutely knocked it out of the park! She took care of our dog Finn and cat Tuna while we were in Mexico for our wedding, and knowing they were with someone they already loved made all the difference. Our boys adore her! It’s clear they feel safe, spoiled, and totally at home in her care. She kept us updated with sweet photos and thoughtful check-ins, and we came home to two very happy pets (and a clean house!). G’la is trustworthy, kind, and just really gets animals. We wouldn’t leave Finn and Tuna with anyone else. Five stars, every time!
Dane is an incredible dog sitter! This was his second time watching Noah and it went so smoothly. He is very communicative, gives excellent updates, and Noah absolutely loves him. Will definitely book with him in the future. He took Noah for lots of great walks, had playtime and training time with him, and I genuinely feel like I had peace of mind while traveling that Noah was getting exceptional care tailored to his needs and personality.
Nevaeh took amazing care of my dog during my last trip. She went above and beyond to ensure my dog felt safe and happy, even taking her for a hike in the hills. I came back to a very relaxed and content pup. 💕 She was incredibly communicative, checking in and sharing updates, and was flexible when the schedule for my work meetings shifted and I needed to update timing. And I appreciated that she handled the extras of watching my house with grace, from collecting packages to my neighbor dropping by unexpectedly.
Have you ever wanted to travel but the spot wouldn't allow your dog?! I was invited by friends to a place that I really wanted to go for a few days off work that sadly didn't allow dogs (other than service animals). While I feel like Aggie provides a lot of services to me :), she technically isn't a service animal, so I was on the fence on going. My friend actually recommended Charlene, and I'm reaaaaaaaly glad they did! In sum, Charlene was incredibly responsive, responsible, and thoughtful about the house sitting arrangement. I appreciated our phone call and in-person visit before my trip/the exchange - it was a nice chance to bring our profiles to life, talk through questions, look at the actual spaces. Charlene asked really thorough questions, which made me feel at ease and at peace to be able to make this trip happen. I loved getting a few photos during my time way - walking, hanging out at the house, sleeping, etc. - and getting short updates from Charlene once in a while. Charlene helped give me piece of mind which helped me to relax more during my trip. On day 2 of my trip, I had a deep inkling/feeling in my stomach about something that I needed to communicate with Charlene regarding Aggie and her care. I texted Charlene in the early morning, and Charlene responded back by the end of the morning to help address it - that gave me so much peace of mind, and I appreciated Charlene's responsiveness and flexibility! It was sweet to reconnect back with Aggie and Charlene at my return/pick up, and I'm grateful Charlene and I had a moment to talk more about their time together at that moment. Aggie seemed happy and content during our reunion :) My infatuation and obsession with dogs started at an early age for me, and I think there's something special about people who've had dogs in their lives. There's an ease, deep level of sympathy/empathy, trust, and both a firmness and softness that I witness in dog caregivers.. I witness all of these things and more in Charlene, and I believe any dog/animal would be lucky to be taken care of by Charlene. Highly recommended!
Mary was a great fit for our dog and cat, Poppy and Lola! She stayed in the home with them while we were out of town and sent us photos daily (so we would miss them a little less!). Mary has a calm and centered demeanor and quickly gained our trust. We will definitely call on her again!
Thuy took care of my cat for 10 days when I was travelling. She did a combination of drop offs and cat sitting to make sure my cat is fine. She was very friendly and communicative. I will definitely book her again
Qishu was fantastic! She was so communicative and easy to work with, she made the time to meet me/our puppy first so we all felt good about the set up, she sent great updates that showed he clearly had the best time hanging out with her!
Della did an amazing time watching our two dogs and cat. She sent photos every day, was responsive, and the pets loved her. We felt so secure with her being there. When we returned home, she left our home super clean and even left us some baked goods! Couldn’t recommend Della enough
