“Joyce once again took amazing care of my pups, keeping me updated with regular photos and messages. This was my girls’ third stay with her and her family, and we’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Ari had a great time with Sofiya. I got regular updates and her space was a great setup for Ari to play and be well looked after. I’m looking forward to having Ari stay with her again!”
“Angelika did a great job watching my dog, Fawn! Throughout the process of watching her she sent me updated pictures of how Fawn was doing when staying at her place, and was flexible about the drop off/pick up time! I’d recommend Angelika to others who are looking for somewhere for their doggie to stay while they’re on a vacation or what not. :)”
“QI took great care of Arisha. Arisha is a shy dog and it takes time for her to get used to new places. QI noticed how sad Arisha was and made specialized chicken and carrot meals for her that Arisha thoroughly loved. Arisha is also afraid of dogs, but while QI sits multiple dogs at once, she was able to socialize Arisha with all the other dogs to a point where Arisha joined the pack and started hanging out with them more, which is close to a miracle. Thank you QI for the wonderful care, Arisha came back home energetic and happy. I'll be happy to book again next time I have the need.”
“I was in a pinch and needed a dog sitter for my puppy Coconut last minute and I am so grateful to have found Christy and Cornell. My puppy had an amazing time staying with them and I couldn’t be more grateful the exceptional care and love they gave her. Highly recommend!”
“Diane was so quick and responsive to my boarding request! Her home is beautifully tucked away in nature, which gave my dog a much needed break from all the holiday fireworks. She was very professional and communicative - sent regular updates with photos included. I know my dog got regular walks and playtime in during the stay. Diane showed great kindness and care, and I really trusted that my dog was in good hands with her. Thank you Diane!!”
“This was our first Rover experience and Anusha is amazing! Our dog Annie had so much fun and was treated like a queen! She got walks and loved running around in her spacious yard. I highly recommend and would happily call Anusha to watch Annie again!”
“Jennifer and her family took great care of my dog for us while we went on vacation for two weeks. She gave us periodic updates and told us how my dog was getting situated etc. I really appreciate their hospitality to him and will definitely hope Jennifer can look after Rocky next time! Thank you Jennifer!”
“Nadia took great care of my two Samoyeds during my winter vacation. We scheduled a meet up session before the booking, and I immediately saw her passion and love for dogs. She is very experienced. During the week that I was out, she sent pictures and videos to me every day. She carefully cleans their paws and make sure they always have supervised play. Thank you Nadia!”
“Ani and Kevin has been taking care of our two golden retrievers for the past 3 years every time we were on vacation, mostly one week or two weeks at a time. They took very good care of our dogs and treated them as part of their family. They took them for walks and hikes and I can tell our dogs had so much fun with their family. When I used to board our dogs at the Wag hotel, I was always worried about their well being. With Ani and Kevin, I knew they were being well taken care of and I could enjoyed our vacation while our dogs were having a great time. Thank you.”
“Eunice and Sean were great dog sitters for Astor! They played with Astor, cuddled with her and made sure all her daily needs were met. They also made sure to give us frequent updates on how Astor was doing throughout the whole stay. Furthermore, we had to push our pick up time really late because our return flight got significantly delayed, and they were happy to accommodate.”
“Yoona, Minjae, and their sweet pup Buddy were absolutely wonderful hosts for my Bichon, Teo. This was Teo’s first stay outside the care of a family member, but from our very first meeting in Yoona and Minjae’s clean, welcoming home, I felt completely at ease knowing he would be in the best hands. Teo was comfortable with them right away, and the photos and videos they shared throughout his stay showed just how happy he was - enjoying plenty of walks, enrichment, and feeling truly included as part of their pack. It was clear that Teo received so much love and attention; he was affectionate with Yoona and Minjae and was genuinely treated like a member of their family. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and they were incredibly responsive and flexible with scheduling. The entire process was seamless, and Teo was calm and confident being left in their care. I couldn’t recommend Yoona and Minjae more highly, and know that Teo would be thrilled to return for future daycare or boarding stays.”
“TL; DR Li-Ting is a great sitter and I highly recommend her. Li-Ting has been taking care of our dog with love and attention to every details. Our dog is very sensitive to new environment and she doesn’t always get along with other dogs. However, from the daily updates from Li-Ting, I can see our dog is getting used to the environment and the companion with her body language. Thanks again for taking good care of our flurry daughter and we truly appreciate it.”
“Kimberley was a really good dog sitter. She made sure we got pictures of our dog on time. Even when we were in no network zone she made sure we got the pictures. I m sure Bruno enjoyed staying at hers!”
“My foster dog Baby had a wonderful stay with Tanya and her daughter. Their home is basically doggy heaven, and Baby enjoyed the huge lawn and tons of love and care accordingly. Baby looks forward to her next visit!”
“Olga and Boris took such great care of my dog while I was away. I honestly can’t find enough words to thank them for how well they cared for him. It was clear that they followed all the instructions I gave them, and my dog looked so happy, comfortable, and well taken care of when I picked him up. You could also tell that he really grew attached to them, and that they grew attached to him as well. That truly says a lot about what wonderful and caring people they are. I’m so grateful I found them, and I would absolutely use their services again. They did an amazing job, and I highly recommend Olga and Boris!”
“Steve loves dogs and is very experienced caring for them and making them feel comfortable away from home. Our large Shepherd/Rottie mix was well taking care off during a weeklong stay with daily walks and lots of playtime. It was clear from the many photos that he was having a great time, allowing us the peace and mind to enjoy our trip. Fantastic sitter - would absolutely recommend !”

“Marie Angelika is a beautiful person who loves and respects animals. That was my exact impression from meeting her and interacting with her throughout the stay. My bird can be clingy at times, but she felt safe, secure, and happy in Marie's care. She fed her fresh veggies which was super cool. Marie has great energy, maintained wonderful communication, and sent regular updates with videos. She was kind, helpful, and even went out of her way to meet me halfway. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend her!”
“This is our 3rd or 4th time now working with Lara. After an extended stay away it makes for great peace of mind to come home to find everything well and know the pets were well loved and cared for.”
“Aiyana did a wonderful job cat/house sitting over the Mother's Day weekend, so I could visit my mom. She was prompt, did all the things that I asked her to do and was very professional. She left the house exactly as she found it, and my cat was well cared for. Honest, trustworthy and set my mind at ease during my trip. Thanks Aiyana!!”
About: I have taken care of many cats since I was young, owned my own indoor/outdor cat for several years when I was a teen and through college. I have also cared for many cats of family members, friends, and others.
“Carmen is kind, courteous, and respectful and she communicates very well; best of all she works well with our two spoiled cats. She Spoils them! We hope to use her again soon. thanks!”
“Heather was amazing. She was able to care for our difficult older cat like a pro. Our cat required two medications twice a day, including an injection, and our cat doesn't do well with stranger but she did great with Heather. Heather let us know everytime when she completed the shot which really put our minds at ease. We ended up book her again for two more trips these coming months.”
“David was a pet rockstar! He went above and begins my requests, and provided companion, exercise and extra toys and treats for my dog! I could not recommend this gentleman any higher. Will absolutely be booking him for any future trips and needs. Thanks David (and Huck his dog)!”
About: Cats have always been a big part of my life. I currently have two of my own and grew up caring for several cats with a wide range of personalities and needs—from affectionate house cats to seniors requiring extra care, and even feral cats that needed patience and understanding. I’m comfortable recognizing and respecting feline boundaries while also giving them the attention, playtime, and affection they enjoy on their own terms. Whether your cat is social, shy, playful, or independent, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Kelly did an amazing job with my dogs as well as tidying up a bit of the house. Her professionalism, knowledge and communication is exactly what you would want from someone watching your fur babies. I was always afraid that my dogs would take a while to become comfortable with new people, but Kelly has the dog whispering ability and easily gained their confidence and trust. She has care and attention to detail with each dog and I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for only the best of what Rover has to offer.”
“Caring and conscientious pet/house sitter. Emily cared for my cat and home, including feeding my fish, while I was away. She was easy to talk with, understood how I wanted things done and kept everything (everyone) safe and happy while I was away.”
“Sara was amazing with our three cats when we went out of town. She spent time playing with all of them even our grumpy hard to find kitty. She kept us updated on the weather so we could make sure they kept cool during a surprise heatwave and made sure we knew all the changes in the house while we were gone. I highly recommend her to care for your pets, she truly treats them as her own.”
About: Hi! I also go by Elva! I’ve been taking care of cats for about 5 years and have two cats of my own. I know cats can have very different personalities—some want attention all day while others need their own space. I’m comfortable with feeding, cleaning litter boxes, playing with them, and just keeping them company. I’ll always follow your cat’s normal routine and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.
About: Being around animals is something that brings me joy. I have been around pets my whole life, so I have a lot of experience with many different species of dogs and cats. I currently own one dog and he is just full of personality. I would love to meet your pets and care for them while also being able to see their character. My schedule is pretty open and flexible other than when I am taking care of my own pets, working my part time job, or dealing with college assignments. I would care for pets in clients home by entertaining the pet with toys or treats approved by the owner, I would take the pet out for its routine outside times and overall just have a fun time with the pet
“I trust Ulysses with my fur babies. I can tell they’ve been loved while I’m away. The pictures and videos he sends while caring for my kitties show how much they like him. He even takes my trash can out on garbage day.”
About: I have had cats in my life since I was in my 30's up to when I moved to the West Coast, 15 years ago. I had one cat who needed a Diabetic shot twice a day for many years. At several points in my life I have had 2 cats. All my cats were indoor and well taken care of.

About: Hi! I’m Angelika, and I absolutely love spending time with animals of all kinds. I’ve loved animals my whole life. Growing up, our family home was full of pets, from rodents like mice, guinea pigs, rats, and hamsters, to rabbits, cats, turtles, parrots, and a dog I adored who passed away three years ago. I’ve walked and cared for dogs and cats since childhood, including helping my grandmother and neighbors with their pets, walking them and spending time with them whenever needed. Right now I don’t have a pet of my own because I’m traveling a lot, but I’d love to help care for other people’s furry friends. I’m responsible, attentive, and I love spending time with animals. I enjoy walking them, playing with them, and making sure they feel safe and happy. I can’t wait to meet your pets and give them lots of love while you’re away! I am currently looking for a full-time job and I'm pretty flexible. In the meantime I have plenty of free time so I’m available to take care of your pets anytime! 😊 I make sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved in their own home. I follow the owner’s instructions, give plenty of attention, play, and walks, and keep everything clean and secure 🫶🏼
“My Goldendoodle, Livingstone, loves his daycare visits with Daniela and Ronan. They take great care of him, and are extremely accommodating with me. Plenty of photos and videos, and Livingstone ate well and got plenty of outside play time. Thank you both!”
“If your pup loves other dogs and a romp in the redwoods, this is the place to be. On our second visit, Abby recognized Ulysses' house as we came up the road and couldn't wait to go inside to play. It's a relief to know my pup is safe and happy !”
About: I am a responsible, nurturing and kind individual who loves all animals. I have owned small dogs, large dogs, a cat, aquatic pets, and taken care of many of my friends', family members' pets and been referred to many to care for their dogs and cats. In my last relationship I took full responsibility for three large dogs, one which was a rescue adopted as a puppy, (feeding, administering medications, training, exercise, bathing, grooming, vet visits) for about 5 years. I am currently working part-time and taking a break from school while I prepare to apply to a health profession program. This gives me a very open and flexible schedule, allowing me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs, including morning, afternoon, evening, weekend, and overnight care.

I look forward to working with you and providing your pet with the compassionate, dependable care they deserve while you're away! I provide loving, reliable pet care in your home using your pet's own supplies to help keep their routine as normal as possible. I use the food, treats, toys, bedding, leashes, litter, medications, and any other pet essentials you provide, so I don't bring my own pet supplies. This helps your pet stay comfortable in their familiar environment while you're away. I live in a quiet, small neighborhood with about 0.75 acres of yard space and keep a clean, tidy home with plenty of room for pets to roam and relax. If boarding or daycare is arranged at my home, I will use any pet supplies you provide to maintain your pet's routine and comfort.

“So delighted to find Madhumita. Her quiet affectionate calm and patience letting my dog, who has a trauma history, come our of his shell was just what he needed to feel comfortable. Her elderly lab is also a friendly, calm, and reassuring presence. So happy to see my pup relax and make himself at home-- in her home!”

“Florence is the best! She cares so well for our needy little Jack and for all the dogs she watches. Our guy opened up to her right away and loves playing at her home. This is the most fun we see him have. We especially love how many updates she provides - you can really tell she loves doing this!”

“Lara is very communicative and easy to work with. One of my dogs is very skittish and slow to warm up with new people, and the other is very large and over exuberant, and Lara has been great with them both. My dogs enjoy her visits and are always quiet and restful throughout the evening when she comes. And I love knowing they're not stuck inside all day. I'll definitely use Lara again.”
“Our dog was in last stages of lymphoma. Aiyana gave her her last gentle walks and was very understanding and supportive about the situation. When we have another dog, we will definitely use Aiyana's services again.”

“Ashley was an absolute pleasure to work with! I needed last-minute care for my dog, so I reached out to her around 10pm the night before. I was very grateful for her quick reply at that hour. She happened to be available the next day, which was such a lifesaver. We did a meet & greet around 10am, and later that afternoon she came by to give my dog a short walk/potty break. She followed all of my instructions and kept me updated with detailed messages, which gave me confidence that she understood what was needed. She also sent several videos during the walk which gave me peace of mind. My dog is currently recovering from an injury, so it was especially important to find someone who would be patient, attentive, and responsible. Ashley was exactly that, and I felt relieved knowing my dog was in such caring hands. Ashley is kind, reliable, communicative, and seemed to genuinely enjoy connecting with my pup. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy petsitter. I would absolutely book with her again!”
“Ulysses was very understanding and helpful when I was trying to figure out the app while teaching and trying to arrange a same day dog walk! Thank you, Ulysses! And most importantly he was great with my 2 big dogs! They both felt instantly comfortable with him, had a great walk and were happy and tired all day afterwards!”
“Yaisa was awesome for walking Toko and Arya when I was away at work during the day! She showed up on time and would take them for a nice long walk through the neighborhood. My pups were surprisingly well behaved with her and I loved all the pictures she would send me! They always looked happier on days after she visited. I will definitely book again when I need someone to check in with them if I'm out on a day trip or any long work weeks.”
About: I have taken care of pets for quite some time. I grew up on a farm, so I have been around all sorts of animals all my life. I recently moved back here to the valley from Santa Cruz. Will be here for a year or so. When I was in Santa Cruz I volunteer for the animal shelter there. I recently moved here from Santa Cruz, and will be starting work at the school in the fall, so I am looking to do some pet sitting, and dog walking, during the summer. I have a fenced yard, but I am not doing pet care at my home at this time. I am sharing home with family members
“I am beyond pleased with the exceptional care and attention that our male dog walker provided to my two schnauzers. In just two walks, it is evident that he genuinely cares for them. His sweet demeanor and dedication make him a standout choice. I will definitely be utilizing his services again”
About: Hi! I’m Gemma, a lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for dogs through Rover, house sitting, and growing up with dogs of my own.

I treat every home with respect, keep things clean, and send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.

“Ari had a great time with Sofiya. I got regular updates and her space was a great setup for Ari to play and be well looked after. I’m looking forward to having Ari stay with her again!”
“Angelika did a great job watching my dog, Fawn! Throughout the process of watching her she sent me updated pictures of how Fawn was doing when staying at her place, and was flexible about the drop off/pick up time! I’d recommend Angelika to others who are looking for somewhere for their doggie to stay while they’re on a vacation or what not. :)”
“QI took great care of Arisha. Arisha is a shy dog and it takes time for her to get used to new places. QI noticed how sad Arisha was and made specialized chicken and carrot meals for her that Arisha thoroughly loved. Arisha is also afraid of dogs, but while QI sits multiple dogs at once, she was able to socialize Arisha with all the other dogs to a point where Arisha joined the pack and started hanging out with them more, which is close to a miracle. Thank you QI for the wonderful care, Arisha came back home energetic and happy. I'll be happy to book again next time I have the need.”
“Diane was so quick and responsive to my boarding request! Her home is beautifully tucked away in nature, which gave my dog a much needed break from all the holiday fireworks. She was very professional and communicative - sent regular updates with photos included. I know my dog got regular walks and playtime in during the stay. Diane showed great kindness and care, and I really trusted that my dog was in good hands with her. Thank you Diane!!”
“This was our first Rover experience and Anusha is amazing! Our dog Annie had so much fun and was treated like a queen! She got walks and loved running around in her spacious yard. I highly recommend and would happily call Anusha to watch Annie again!”
“Nadia took great care of my two Samoyeds during my winter vacation. We scheduled a meet up session before the booking, and I immediately saw her passion and love for dogs. She is very experienced. During the week that I was out, she sent pictures and videos to me every day. She carefully cleans their paws and make sure they always have supervised play. Thank you Nadia!”
“My foster dog Baby had a wonderful stay with Tanya and her daughter. Their home is basically doggy heaven, and Baby enjoyed the huge lawn and tons of love and care accordingly. Baby looks forward to her next visit!”
“Steve loves dogs and is very experienced caring for them and making them feel comfortable away from home. Our large Shepherd/Rottie mix was well taking care off during a weeklong stay with daily walks and lots of playtime. It was clear from the many photos that he was having a great time, allowing us the peace and mind to enjoy our trip. Fantastic sitter - would absolutely recommend !”
“I was lucky to find Michelle and Michael. My dog is young golden retriever with high energy. Michelle and Michael gave my dog plenty of cuddles and attention. They gave my dog long walk and played fetch with him. Michelle sent me updates frequently that helped relieve my separation anxiety. I couldn't be happier to have my dog stay with Michelle and Michael, who are really nice and caring people.”
“Always a pleasure to have Juliana take care of my senior dog. She's very caring and attentive to his needs and medication schedule. She also sends plenty of pictures and updates!”
“Ghazal took excellent care of my princess! She took the time to get to know Cleo and then the two of them bonded really well. Ghazal ensured that cleo was walked, fed, and given medicine at the schedules times and also accommodated her specific sleep routine to make her feel safe. I was updated on her activities and sent plenty of pictures - I felt relaxed knowing that my pup was happy and safe. I’ve already referred her to friends. She’s just great!”
“Pepo is always well taken care of at Dapeng's place. We get daily pictures and updates on how he is doing, he is always happy to arrive and healthy when we pick him up, this is the second time we board Pepo at Dapeng's and will continue coming back!”
“Jennifer was the best, she was flexible and kind and sent lots of photos. Our dog clearly had the best time while we were away. Would highly recommend her to walk or board your dog!! Her pups are so sweet as well.”
“Robyn and her family are SO SO wonderful! Very kind, caring, and thoughtful, and Robyn sent pics and updates that Elvis was settling in and having fun with the family and their dog, Jacoby. Feeling very lucky to know this amazing family. Thank you!”
“Audrina was a great catsitter for Muffin! She was highly communicative, flexible, administered daily medications, and provided detailed daily updates. I would definitely feel comfortable bringing Muffin back to Audrina's!!”
“Bruno is an incredibly responsible and caring sitter. He sent me daily updates about my dog, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. At first, I was a little unsure about boarding since my dog is older and has a sensitive temperament, but Bruno was patient, professional, and very attentive. He carefully followed all the daily routines and notes I had provided, which I really appreciated. I could tell my dog was well taken care of and comfortable with him. His dog Jojo is super friendly and can get along well with other dogs. I highly recommend Bruno to anyone looking for a reliable sitter!”
“Chendi and her husband were amazing with Goose. They were responsive, understanding, and flexible. They really took the time to ask questions and to meet Goose and understand his personality so they could provide a comfortable stay for him. Goose came back happy and healthy and I can tell he had a great time!”
