“So happy to have Susan watch our 2 Boston Terrier’s. We were in contact before and during their stay, she sent photos and nightly updates which I appreciated. She has many walking trails near her well kept home and a small outside area that the dogs loved to sun bathe. I would definitely trust Susan with our dogs next time we need help!”
“I am lucky to have Lily taking care of my dog, Apollo for 24 days during my vacation. Lily gave me daily picture update of Apollo. My family was happy to see him even though we were thousand miles away. Lily also played balls with Apollo and playing ball is Apollo's favorite toy. I highly recommend Lily taking care of your dog.”
“Thank you Nancy and Touc for giving us a great first experience on Rover! They gave us peace of mind while we were away and were incredibly communicative. Would highly recommend and will book them again!”
“Melody took great care of Jarvis again! She stayed on top of his food and medication just like last time and treated him like her own. I really appreciate how detailed she is. She kept notes on his potty breaks, meals, meds, and even sleep, which gives me so much peace of mind especially with his medical needs. She’s reliable, attentive, and clearly cares a lot. I’d definitely book with her again!”
“We were very grateful to find someone that loves dogs and has a passion for caring for them when their owners need to be away. Our dog was safe & well taken care of. Thank you Monisa & David!”
“Romeo had a good time with Clara. She ensured she sent us lots of pictures and kept us updated. He wasnt' having his food so she made sure that she fed him food that she fed her dog. Clara also made sure Romeo received his own personal time when he did not want to play with her dog. Thank you Clara”
“I cannot recommend Selena highly enough! Leaving my dog with her was the best decision I made. She is a wonderful, experienced woman who treats every dog as if they are part of her own family. My pup came home happy, calm, and clearly well-loved. She provided constant, loving attention and even sent me pictures while I was away. It is so rare to find someone with such genuine passion, patience, and compassion for animals. If you want peace of mind, this is the place”
“Nina and Tony took excellent care of our 5 year old golden doodle, Yogi. They are so communicative, sent frequent updates. Yogi looked very well cared for and happy when we picked him up. Would highly recommend Nina and Tony!!”
“We first used Braden and Natalie for one day of doggy daycare, and it was clear Millie had a wonderful time. We knew she got plenty of interaction since she was tired when she got home. It was even more apparent when we brought her back a few days later for boarding since once we walked up the driveway, she started getting excited as she recognized the place—that gave us so much peace of mind. From the initial meet and greet, Braden and Natalie were thoughtful and thorough. They asked great questions, were down to earth, and clearly cared about getting to know Millie and her needs and keeping to her schedule. Throughout her stay, they kept us updated, which we really appreciated. Millie was happy and well cared for, and we felt totally comfortable leaving her with them. We’ll absolutely be using them again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to others!”
“Sameer was absolutely wonderful! Bo came home happy and exhausted. We've already got him booked for two more trips and love that we don't have to worry about our fur-baby while we're gone!”
“This was the first time we had ever left our dogs. One has some pretty serious separation anxiety. Marsha assured us that things would be fine and she was right. Our pups were a bit anxious upon drop off, but she clearly was used to this and got right to work making them comfy. Marsha sent frequent updates and as expected, the pups had a great time. We are looking forward to the next time already. I highly recommend Marsha! She is awesome!!!”
“Our 4 kitten have stayed at Mary’s place a few times, as usual she pay lots of care to them, not only feeding but also spent good amount of time with them. From the daily photos and videos we can see they basically treated it as home 🤣 Having Mary taking care of our cats was the only way we could enjoy our trips.”
“Janine did an incredible job taking care of our pup, Hope, while we were away. Hope was immediately comfortable with her family and environment from the moment we dropped her off. Their energy, experience, and conscientious care was evident throughout her stay. We'd recommend Janine to anyone in a heartbeat!”
“Eileen was an amazing sitter for our dog! She provided a loving home and patience and updated us daily while we were on vacation for over a week. It was so great to know our little one was being taken care of so well while we were away. We highly recommend you book with Eileen!”
“Jay is a kind and wonderful dog boarder. Our cattledog, Arrow, was so well taken care of and was so relaxed during his stay with Jay. We got several timely updates with pictures and Arrow looked perfectly content in the new environment. I would highly recommend Jay and will be using his service again.”
“Judi was absolutely incredible. She's extremely knowledgeable about dog behaviors and was so helpful with training Latte, as well as attentive and kind throughout Lattes stay. Judi sent lots of updates, videos and pictures and Latte definitely had a blast”
“Lauren took great care of my sweet old lady pup. She sent pictures and responded promptly if I had questions while away. My pup is blind and needs eyedrops, and I felt secure with Lauren watching her. 5 stars!”
“Dana & her family were wonderful with Bentley, Dana made sure that Bentley felt very comfortable throughout his stay. Bentley enjoyed staying with Dana and her family, he enjoyed playing in the large backyard. Dana sent us pictures of Bentley periodically and kept us well updated, she also advised us when Bentley got fussy eating his dinner, etc she eventually was able to coax him to finish his dinner. We'd love to book with her in the future as well. :)”

“Jill was very helpful taking my request with short notice. She took care of my cat Millie and gave her medication excellently. I will definitely like to rebook again in the future and I do recommend Jill.”
About: Our own furbabies are reactive so I definitely know the struggles of finding someone who understands! I’ve learned a lot of knowledge from our trainer and am very detail oriented/structured when it comes to providing care! I currently work full time but am looking for another source of income when I am free! I am a teacher so I have breaks off when the children do, and have plenty of weekends off as well for date nights, vacations, etc! I only provide pet care in clients home, as boarding in my own home would cause stress to our reactive dogs. Open to learning and sticking to your schedule as much as possible so your furbaby doesn’t experience too much of a drastic change without you there!
“Jessica was so amazing. I had to request her very last minute due to a family emergency. She is an excellent communicator, she is reliable, and very pleasant. She went above and beyond what I could have asked for while watching my boy cat. I’m so happy and will definitely be requesting Jessica in the future. She even took in packages for me I didn’t even ask but was so grateful she did due to the mail theft in the area.”
“We really appreciate the wonderful care you provided for our kitten. You consistently fed her on schedule, were very responsive to messages, and shared timely updates that gave us peace of mind while we were away. We also loved seeing that you spent quality playtime with her and kept her engaged and happy. Thank you for being so attentive, reliable, and caring—we would be happy to have you watch our kitten again in the future!”
“Tatyanan was incredible kind and supportive throughout the whole process. I had never used Rover, let alone a pet sitter. Before even booking with her she came to meet my cats and I and walk me through the process. While I was out of state for my fiance's surgery, she went above and beyond to make sure that my cats were taken care of, regularly sending pictures, and that the place stayed clean from pet messes. I greatly appreciate Tatyana and would absolutely book her again! Thank you Tatyana!!”
“100% outstanding service from Amy. She is an animal lover at its core, much like us. She will look after your babies as if they are your own. Highly recommend her for all your pet needs.”
About: I’ve cared for cats through every stage of life, from playful kittens to sweet senior cats who need a little extra patience, comfort, and attention. I understand that every cat has their own personality, routine, and boundaries, so I take the time to let them warm up at their own pace and feel safe in their own space. What sets me apart is my calm, gentle, and patient approach. Whether your cat is social and affectionate, shy and independent, playful, or cautious with new people, I’ll meet them where they are. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, brushing if needed, medication, and giving regular updates so you feel connected while you’re away. I know cats are happiest when their routines are respected, so I’ll follow your instructions closely and care for your cat with the same love, attention, and respect I would give my own.
“My plans changed last minute and I was so glad I was able to book with Paige! She was super communicative, respectful, and patient. Would definitely book with her again!”
“Kaitlyn was a great cat sitter! She stayed with our two cats for several days without any issues. She kept our cats happy and sent pictures each day. Will definitely book with her again!”
“I highly recommend booking Aurora to look after your pets! She is a great communicator, kept us updated and shared pictures with us of our pets while we were away. Will definitely book with her next time we are away!”
“We had a great experience with Johnason. He followed all our instructions carefully and sent regular updates. Our cat was well cared for, and we really appreciated his reliability and kindness. Thank you”
“Jingyi was a wonderful cat sitter, and I appreciate her attention to detail and care for my two cats through drop-in visits! She followed my instructions, took awesome pictures/videos, and gave great updates. She even noticed that my litter robot wasn't working as expected and let me know promptly and helped resolve the situation. I'd highly recommend her :)”
“Jen has watched our cats a couple of times now, and we trust her completely. Even for quick drop-in visits, she’s reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring. Each of our cats has a different personality, and Jen is attentive to all of them making sure everyone is fed, safe, and getting individual attention. We came home to relaxed, well cared for cats and a clean space, which says everything. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!”
“Siqin dropped by everyday for 9 days and dealt with our apartment blocking parking for a couple of days. Apparently my cat's limit for being away from us is a week as Siqin had to clean up angry poop the last few days. Again, she is able to get my super shy cat out and pet him and give him meds. She sent me plenty of pictures and a video of each cat everyday. Will use her again. 10/10.”

About: Growing up, I always had a lot of love for animals and had many different pets from fishes, birds, guinea pig, and dogs. I had a toy poodle for 14 years before she passed and growing up as an only child, she was my best friend and more than a dog. Now, although I don’t have any pets of my own (eventually will!) I love taking care of dogs of my friends and family! I started taking care of dogs around the end of my college years and occasionally take dogs in need for care and more. I know a lot of parks around Pleasanton and tri-valley as I grew up here and would love to take your dogs on a walk! I am also available to check in on your fur baby whenever you need me to. I’m currently working part time, and have plenty of flexibility in my schedule to give your pets the time, love, and attention they need. I make sure to plan my day around walks, playtime, and check-ins so that your furry friend always feels cared for and never rushed. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I create a calm and loving environment, and I’m attentive to each pet’s unique needs and routines. Whether at my home or yours, I make sure they’re safe, happy, and never left unattended for long. I’m comfortable with crates if needed, giving medications, and providing plenty of playtime, cuddles, and walks. You can feel confident knowing your furry friend is in caring, reliable hands.
“Rose was excellent! Super flexible and took good care of my 7 month old puppy. We did a meet and greet prior to her babysitting and when I brought my puppy back for sitting, he was super excited to see her! It looked like he had a blast from day care & when he came home he was so worn out lol. I’m very happy she was kind to him and kept him stimulated and entertained! Would definitely book again”
“Beth is one of the best sitters I’ve met. Very communicative and always on time. Crea loves her so so so much!! She gives homemade dehydrated chicken treats to her and show her around the area! Already repeating my booking w Beth. 😍”
“Pratima is great. She took on my pup for long term daycare while my partner and I work long hours. She is very accommodating and takes the time to learn all of my dog's tendencies to provide the best care for her. She works from home so I'm glad to know that my pup always has someone to be around.”
“Kim is amazing, her house is beautiful, her two dogs are very well behaved, and I could not be happier with her services! She is very professional (knows a lot about dog training), communicates nicely, and my dog was better behaved when I picked her up than when I dropped her off!”
“Nicole is awesome! She sent me updates throughout the day which I really appreciated receiving at work. My dog gets nervous around bigger dogs and avoids them but her husky was well behaved which was evident by how comfortable Zoey seemed around her. Nicole walked Zoey wI highly recommend Nicole if you want to know your dog will be well taken care of.”
“Weiran did a wonderful job watching Mango. We felt completely at ease with Mango under her care. Grateful to have met a sitter that is attentive to Mango’s needs. Thank you Weiran!”
“Thank you so much for taking care of our pup again, seems she’s warming up to you and the other pups. We appreciate your patience, and helping her work through the nerves. :) You are amazing! I love the continuous updates with photos/ videos! Great to see our girl running and having a good time.”
“Ollie had his first stay with Jenny yesterday. We received photo updates and Ollie got his pee/poo breaks, dinner, medication as instructed. When he came home, he was calm & his usual self so it looks like he had a great stay! We will definitely book again.”
About: All my life I’ve had animals. I have a cat and a dog. Animals are not just pets. They are family, they are emotional support, they are therapy and unconditional love. The only concern you should have is that I will fall in love with your furry baby. As of right now I’m off work. I work in education so I take summers off. I am open to work but would prefer consistency. I have a fenced back yard and a park around my house so enough space for walks. I have a Shiba Inu so expect long walks
“Joule had a blast at Darshana’s place. He was tired all day after he came back from the daycare. He was tired even the next day. He is a high energy dog and getting him this tired is definitely a skill. Darshana was very quick in responding. She gave me timely updates about Joule. I will definitely send Joule back to her for daycare.”

About: Hi there! I'm Sriram, a true dog enthusiast living in sunny Fremont, California. For the past 8 years, I've been caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities—from energetic puppies mastering their first tricks to calm senior pups who need gentle, reliable attention. I've raised and trained our own late family dog, teaching him fun tricks (high-five, roll over, spin—you name it!) and perfecting potty training routines that make life easier for everyone. I've also provided dedicated care for several senior dogs, including administering timely medications on strict schedules, monitoring their comfort, and ensuring they get soft, low-impact play and lots of cuddles. Dogs aren't just pets to me—they're family members, and I treat every pup who stays with me the same way I'd want my own cared for. This isn't about the money for me; it's pure passion. I get so much joy from watching a dog's tail wag when I walk through the door, seeing them learn something new, or simply relaxing together after a good adventure. Whether your dog is high-energy and needs long walks, or prefers a quieter day with puzzle toys and belly rubs, I'll tailor their stay to their needs and routine. Working from home full-time allows me to provide your pet with constant attention, including frequent potty breaks, interactive play, and on-schedule feedings. Your dog will also enjoy daily exercise at the beautiful park located right outside my front door. Your pet’s safety is my priority. I offer a fenced-in single-family home with constant backyard access, full camera monitoring, and 24/7 personal supervision.

“Paige was very responsive & accommodating with our last minute request, and took great care of our dog Kiara during her walk. She was very gentle with Kiara, & it was evident that Kiara loved her walk. Will definitely be booking Paige again!”
About: I’ve been lucky to care for dogs, cats, and bunnies through every stage of life, from playful puppies and kittens to sweet senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I’ve also pet sat for others for extended periods of time, including 4 to 6 weeks at a time, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets and home in someone else’s hands. I care for each pet like they’re part of my own family. I take the time to learn their routine, personality, likes, dislikes, and comfort level so they feel safe, loved, and understood while you’re away. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, all dog sizes, and pets who need medication or a little extra attention. Whether your pet is playful and energetic, shy and cautious, cuddly, independent, or in their senior years, I’ll meet them where they are with patience, kindness, and lots of love. My goal is to give you peace of mind and make your pet feel comfortable, cared for, and never alone. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my day. I’m happy to make time for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting based on your pet’s needs. I understand how important consistency is, so I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine for feeding, walks, playtime, medication, and companionship. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel comfortable and connected while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I know it can feel stressful to leave your pet in someone else’s care, so I do everything I can to make the experience as smooth and reassuring as possible for both you and your pet. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll follow your instructions closely and maintain their normal routine as much as possible. Whether that includes feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication, litter box care, cuddle time, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure their needs are met with patience and attention. I understand that pets thrive on consistency, and keeping their routine familiar helps them feel secure while you’re away. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual personality and comfort level. Some pets love lots of interaction and play, while others prefer a calmer approach and need time to build trust. I’m happy to adapt my care to what makes your pet feel most comfortable and relaxed. Safety is extremely important to me. I’m careful with doors, gates, leashes, harnesses, and home access, and I always double-check that pets are secure before entering or leaving the home. I also pay attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy level, or anything else that may be important, and I’ll communicate with you promptly if I notice any concerns. I’ll treat your home with the same respect and care that I would want someone to show my own. You can also expect regular updates and photos so you can feel connected and reassured while you’re away. My goal is for you to return to a happy, comfortable pet and have complete peace of mind knowing they were cared for with kindness, responsibility, and genuine affection.

“RJ took great care of Remy on his walk. He’s communicative, friendly, and transparent about everything. It’s my first time using Rover and it can be stressful finding someone to trust your fur baby with but I instantly felt comfortable with RJ and most importantly Remy did. He sent photos and videos throughout the walk which I loved.”
“Tiffany is great. She is punctual and dependable. Our dog Penny loves going on walks with here. Definitely recommend her for anyone needing a sweet person to walk their pet.”

About: Hi!! My name is Aurora and I’m so excited to take care of your furr baby or babies! I have years of experience taking care of a wide range of pets from cats to big and small breed doggies. I love animals and believe they are a member of the family and should be treated as such! I have been relied on for walking my friends and neighbors doggies, cat sitting, and routine check ins to ensure that their fur babies are happy, healthy and, most of all, not lonely! As you can see from my pictures, my partner and I have three amazing fur babies, two of which are cats and one big doggy. Our two cats are Hela and Athena and our big goofy fluff ball of a doggie is named Loki. Because I raised my little family members from babies, I am more than comfortable taking care of puppies or kittens also! Pet care fits easily into my schedule — I work Monday-Friday 8-4pm—, leaving early mornings, evenings, and the rest of the weekends open for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s usual routine—feeding, walks, play, and any special instructions—so they feel secure and cared for in their familiar space.
“Trina was extremely good at spotting off-leash dogs on our walk, which was particularly helpful for a reactive dog like our GSD/Husky/Chow Chow mix. She was attentive and got along super well with our dog, and we will definitely be hiring her again.”
About: Hi, I'm Jacob! I'm a 22-year-old college student and former collegiate soccer player with a passion for dogs. I have two dogs of my own and helped raise and train my Bernedoodle from puppyhood, giving me plenty of hands-on experience with puppies and dogs of all ages. I also assist my girlfriend, an active Rover dog walker, on many of her walks and pet care visits. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, playtime, or extra attention, I'll treat them like they're my own and make sure they receive safe, reliable, and loving care. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable pet care throughout the week. Between caring for my own dogs and assisting with Rover walks and visits, pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, or extra attention, I'm committed to making sure they get the care and exercise they need. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and have personally trained my Bernedoodle since puppyhood, giving me a strong understanding of dog behavior and routines. I follow all owner instructions carefully, provide plenty of exercise and attention, and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for whether in their home or on a walk.
About: I've trained and cared for my own dogs, both small and large breeds, all of my life. I've also volunteered extensively for shelters, walking and fostering all kinds of dogs. I'm also trained my own horses, giving me a strong sense of how to communicate with animals. I work from home on my own flexible schedule. As a result, i can accommodate your and your pets' schedules on weekdays as well as weekends. I can provide whatever your pet needs: walks as needed, playtime, comforting if he or she is anxious, and of course feeding and watering on their schedule.
About: What sets me apart is the time, attention, and genuine care I give every pet. I’m home full time, so your pet won’t be left alone for long hours; I’m able to stick closely to their routine, provide companionship, and quickly respond to any needs. I’m also very observant, which is especially important when caring for senior pets or those with special needs. I have experience with both dogs and cats, and I’m patient with shy, anxious, or high energy pets. Whether it’s giving extra belly rubs, helping a senior pet move around comfortably, or keeping a puppy on track with their training schedule, I focus on making sure each pet feels safe, loved, and happy. I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family. Since I stay home to support my family, I have the time and flexibility to give pets the attention they deserve. Pet care is already part of my daily routine; I’m used to feeding on schedule, cleaning up, taking pets out, and making time for play and exercise. Being home allows me to respond quickly to their needs and keep a close eye on their well-being. I genuinely enjoy the companionship and love creating a safe, calm environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. Whether pets are in my home or I’m visiting theirs, I prioritize keeping their routine as close to normal as possible to help them feel secure. At my home, I provide a clean, pet safe environment with regular feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and quiet time. I follow any special instructions, like medications or preferred toys, and keep pets supervised and comfortable. When I’m in a client’s home, I respect their space and routines. I make sure pets are fed, walked, played with, and cleaned up after according to the owner’s instructions. I also take time to bond with the pet, so they feel safe while their owner is away. I keep in touch with updates and photos, so owners know their pet is in good hands.
“Charlene is an awesome dog sitter!!! She attentive and loving. She took the time to meet with Riel and I before dog sitting Riel, and asked a lot of questions to try to understand my dog. Riel loves her. Seeing the pictures of Riel while I was on a trip gives me a peace of mind! Thank you Charlene!”
“I appreciate Sophia (preferred name Andy) so much! He is fantastic at handling my high energy and timid puppy. He is a competent dog walker and I know my pup is in good hands. I also appreciate his flexibility when it comes to scheduling.”
About: A Housesitter across North America for several years now, I have built a wealth of experience with a variety of animals and homes . I worked as a dog sitter and walker in NYC for five years, raised my own puppy from 8 weeks old. Then traveled to the West, housesitting my way across the country from VA to CA, OR and CO. I provide daily photo and video updates of your pets and can make framed prints available to order. I have had pets in the home since I was a child, including birds and hamsters as well as cats, kittens and dogs. I am currently looking for summer work, having worked as a Ski Instructor all winter in Arapahoe Basin. When housesitting, it is my principal job and priority. I do not currently offer care for a pet in my home, unless of course, they are happy living and traveling in my Class C motorhome.
“We were out of town for a week and had Alex come to walk our 3yr old Labrador daily. Alex did a great job, followed instructions, and provided photos and walking route everyday. We would definitely book again with Alex.”
About: Hello! I’m Olivia. I’ve been around animals my whole life and grew up with family dogs starting when I was in kindergarten. In the summer 2023, I adopted my own cat, which made me appreciate even more how important it is to find someone trustworthy and caring to look after your pets. I work part-time and am a college student, however I can always make time for lovely animals! Even with a busier schedule, I am still able to: * Overnight pet and house sit * Walk your dogs * Daily drop-in visits/check-ins * Keep up with feeding routines and fresh water * Litter box cleaning and basic cleanup * Give lots of attention, playtime, and companionship I am willing to discuss and bargain on prices, and we can discuss my availability further as well! Don’t be shy to message and let me know what you’re looking for. I understand that every pet has a different personality and routine, and I try to make them feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible while you’re away. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and needs patience, I’m happy to adapt to what they need. I also know how important communication is for pet parents, so I’m always happy to send updates and photos while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own!

“I am lucky to have Lily taking care of my dog, Apollo for 24 days during my vacation. Lily gave me daily picture update of Apollo. My family was happy to see him even though we were thousand miles away. Lily also played balls with Apollo and playing ball is Apollo's favorite toy. I highly recommend Lily taking care of your dog.”
“We were very grateful to find someone that loves dogs and has a passion for caring for them when their owners need to be away. Our dog was safe & well taken care of. Thank you Monisa & David!”
“Nina and Tony took excellent care of our 5 year old golden doodle, Yogi. They are so communicative, sent frequent updates. Yogi looked very well cared for and happy when we picked him up. Would highly recommend Nina and Tony!!”
“Sameer was absolutely wonderful! Bo came home happy and exhausted. We've already got him booked for two more trips and love that we don't have to worry about our fur-baby while we're gone!”
“Judi was absolutely incredible. She's extremely knowledgeable about dog behaviors and was so helpful with training Latte, as well as attentive and kind throughout Lattes stay. Judi sent lots of updates, videos and pictures and Latte definitely had a blast”
“Lauren took great care of my sweet old lady pup. She sent pictures and responded promptly if I had questions while away. My pup is blind and needs eyedrops, and I felt secure with Lauren watching her. 5 stars!”
“Dana & her family were wonderful with Bentley, Dana made sure that Bentley felt very comfortable throughout his stay. Bentley enjoyed staying with Dana and her family, he enjoyed playing in the large backyard. Dana sent us pictures of Bentley periodically and kept us well updated, she also advised us when Bentley got fussy eating his dinner, etc she eventually was able to coax him to finish his dinner. We'd love to book with her in the future as well. :)”
“Lexie was well understood and well cared for. I couldn’t have asked for more! Our dog is a tricky one with senior issues but Trisha and her family knew just how to address her difficulties and make her happy and comfortable. She fit right in with their family! I’m very grateful to Trish and I highly recommend her.”
“Cindy was terrific to work with. We had a complicated situation involving a dog, a heart patient and a family member 1/2 a continent away. Cindy was wonderfully flexible in helping us by taking care of our dog without knowing how long her help would be needed. Daily pictures reassured us that at least one member of our family was in great shape. Thanks Cindy - we'll be back.”
“Such a lovely family, they took very good care of our dog and kept us updated along with pics multiple times a day. Our dog was looking happy when we picked him. Highly recommend Yu-Shu.”
“Svetlana clearly loves cats and has a spacious apartment that’s great for them to explore. While it could help if they have a few more designated hiding spots, she was thoughtful in helping my cat settle in by finding a cozy spot in her closet, which my cat seems to really enjoy. She was great about sending videos in the first few days, I’d love to see more regular updates throughout the stay, which could make the experience even better. I also really appreciated how she worked with me to stay within my budget. Overall, I’m happy with her care and will definitely use her services again!”
“Charlie had a blast with Selina and was well cared for. He really loves her and during pick up, he wanted to go back into her place. He had plenty of exercise and play time, which is important to his well being. Thank you Selina.”
“I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Fiona!! She kept me updated with regular tests about my pup, which gave me so much peace of mind, and she truly made him feel right at home! The moment I picked him up, I could tell he was so happy and comfortable in her care. It means everything to know your pup is in such great hands I highly recommend her!!”
“I am very happy with the choice I made by having Linh watch my dog, Sabaka. It's hard finding the right sitter who can actually handle and take care of him. He requires a lot of attention and a lot of walks! Linh and her husband made sure to accommodate all of his needs! When I went to pick him up, Linh's husband brought him out. As soon as we left, Sabaka began crying because he was already missing him. I highly recommend booking your dog's vacation with Linh. It will be the ultimate "vacation" for your dog. You will see... Linh constantly updated me with information, sent me pictures and video footage of Sabaka. He went on so many walks and to the dog park all in just 2 days. I'm sure Sabaka can't wait to see them again!”
“Hong was great and very accommodating with my kitties! She happily provided the kitties with their own room to separate them from her dogs upon our request, since they’ve never been around dogs before. She also regularly sent updates. I would totally leave my kitties in her care again!”
“Rachel and Jason were absolutely wonderful with Sony. They were very communicative throughout the stay, which really gave me peace of mind. Since this was my first time using Rover in California, it meant a lot to know Sony was well taken care of and in good hands. I will certainly be utilizing their services again in the future. 🐾”
“I can’t say enough, Leo was lucky to spend time with Pratima. She sent me updates about him with pictures every day .she is very kind and have patience which made him feel at home at her place. I would highly recommend her.”
