“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!”
“There aren’t enough words to express just how attentive and amazing Quishu is: Positive, dynamic personality with an ability to get zen when needed. She’s the kind of personality our beagles need. She followed all our doggie care and home instructions, it was such peace of mind. She sent frequent photos and videos which showed us that our adopted and often timid beagles trusted her, felt safe with her and were actually being their true goof ball selves. Most sitters think they’ll try to “fix” their issues which never works and creates a tense dynamic, but Qishu didn’t appear to judge us for all our instructions and expectations. She respected our requested level of care and the beagles and her bonded. Thank you Qishu!!”
“Matt is always great with our dog, Elliott. He was very responsible with Elliott's medication schedule and attentive to his emotional needs. I'll be re-booking Matt for our next trip as well. Thank you, Matt!”
“Elisa watched my dog Maude when I was out of town for a few days. She was super accommodating and flexible. She sent me lots of pics and updates and it looked like my dog, who has a history of separation anxiety, really liked spending time with Elisa. Elisa was also really great about leaving my apartment in the same condition I left it. I would not hesitate to book her for dog sitting or walking again.”
“Charlii watched Wes and Margot while we were on vacation. She stayed at our house with the dogs and sent wonderful EOD updates with lots of pictures and notes. We’re excited to have her watch them again soon!”
“G’la was great with our two dogs! We loved all of the wonderful pictures she sent and our dogs clearly had a good time. She even went above and beyond to coordinate visits with our landlord while we were away. Thanks, G’la!”
“Samantha was incredible. Miura had an ear infection that required a trip to the vet while I was gone for a week, and Samantha was extremely communicative and helpful through the whole process. She took Miura to the vet, picked her up, and did all the ear drops necessary. Miura can be an anxious pup so I was worried about having someone else take her to the vet, but everything went super smoothly with Samantha taking her. I highly recommend Samantha as a sitter!”
“Ariana was amazing! Took out booking very last minute and took the best care of our dogs! Great communication, lots of photos, and she left a really sweet drawing of them. Highly recommend!!”
About: I’ve had experience with a handful of different cats and dogs, from walking to house sitting, I also offer pet photography alongside your service. I am a quick learner, motivated, and would love to take care of your pet. I am in the process of preparing to start animal behavioral college, where I’ll be majoring in animal training. I’m currently on a break from work until the end of August/ early September so I can accommodate to your needs and have lots of time to play with your critters. I have a fenced large open patio and yard, the perfect spot with plenty of space for your fur baby/ies. I can also stay overnight at your house, I’m open, I will always leave your home better than I found it.
“Irina was outstanding. She took excellent care of Lassen and Sierra. She understands dogs and meets their needs. She also communicated well with me and helped me feel at ease while I was away. Irina took care of our house also. I will definitely reach out to her again to care for our dogs.”
About: I have pet sat for many acquaintances over the years, as well nannying which included caring for family pets. I also have two cats of my own! I am currently wfh freelancers, I have plenty of availability in my schedule to care for other peoples furry guys! I have too small of an apartment to have a dog of my own - so my own pet care would never get in the way. I play with my cats every morning and night for at least two hours a day. I believe in a healthy diet for all animals, as well as providing an enriched home life for all domesticated animals. I am proudly in tune with an animal's body language and how the all vocalize their needs differently.
“Cara cared for my senior dog, Frito, while I was out of town for the weekend. She sent me regular updates and pictures, which were greatly appreciated. She also administered his oral medications and took him for lots of walks. I felt like Frito was in good hands the entire time, which allowed me to enjoy my friend's wedding celebration. Frito was also in good spirits when I got back! I will be sure to contact Cara for any future dog-sitting needs.”
“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.”
“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!”

“Sara came to the rescue when our other house sitter hurt her leg a few days before we were scheduled to go out of town. She is a great pack leader and put our bully Charlie in his place very quickly. She was tidy and we came home To a happy and relaxed pup. We would work w Sara again!”

Upper Rockridge pet parents share their Rover experiences
Chris is an amazing dog sitter, who I feel completely at ease with leaving Jojo pup with while I'm away. Chris watched Jojo for 7 nights while I was on an international hiking trip with intermittent service. He sends the best photos, takes Jojo for great walks and provides excellent communication during the sit. My house was just as I'd left it upon my return. I look forward to continuing to work with Chris. Thank you!!
Sarah watched my sometimes leash reactive dog for 7 nights while I was away on an international hiking trip with intermittent service. I felt completely at ease while traveling, due to Sarah's professionalism, amazing communication, and the way she clearly connects with and understands Jojo pup. It's such a pleasure to work with Sarah.
Elisa was great! Very conscientious and comprehensive with her daily updates! She clearly bonded very well with our dog, who seemed to be looking for her when he woke up the next day. The kitchen also seemed to be even cleaner than we left it. We've already booked with Elisa again, and highly recommend her!
Navaeh was amazing with Franklin! She was very responsive and made sure I got daily updates and photos of him. She was super sweet and Franklin loved his time with her. I felt super comfortable leaving my cat with her and would definitely have her stay again! Thank you so much for giving him so much love and care!!
We had a great experience with Cara. She was very mature, reliable and responsible. She clearly took really good care of the house as well. The thing I appreciated most was how communicative and responsive she was. She really listened and was always quick to reply as well as send pictures 😊
Alix was so communicative and reliable! Even when I was dealing with flight delays and difficulties scheduling my trip, I felt safe leaving my dog Sam with her. And Sam clearly loves Alix! My dog escaped out my door to try and greet Alix when she returned my keys.
Irina stayed at my place to take care of my kitty while I was away for the week. She was so sweet and gentle with my cat, and sent truly the most gorgeous pictures and videos every day. It was so reassuring to see my kitty snuggle up with her and be so relaxed, confident, and at ease with her. This our second time working with Irina and I will definitely book again!
We are very happy to have found Lisette to housesit and take care of our new dog, Pony. This was our first trip away after adopting a dog with separation anxiety and some leash reactivity, so we were a bit nervous. Lisette came over for a meet-and-greet and was very calm and comfortable with Pony. On the day of our departure she came over right on time and jumped in with Pony, feeding him and taking him on a walk. She sent pictures twice a day and reassured us that things were going well. She also took great care of our apartment and left it very neat and tidy. We hope we can have her stay again next time.
Marina was fantastic! She watched ellie for a whole wee while we were gone she sent multiple dailey updates with pictures to keep our minds at ease. Ellie is a sr dog who takes awhile to warm up to people but Marina and her were best friends by the end of the stay. I would recommend Marina to anyone knowing full well she will treat your pet as her own! Will definitely be rebooking!
