“Yu-shu and family were AMAZING! We got a ton of updates complete with pictures and narratives every day during our vacation, and Leche was always so happy and loved, playing with other people and dogs! It was a wonder how Leche wanted to come back home to us! I hope Leche can stay with your family again, because she loved it, and we had zero worries or concerns about how she was doing. Thank you so much!”

They were extremely responsive and very accommodating. I had issues with my own schedule but they were very patient in working with me. Thank you so much for taking great care of Duke!!”


“As new dog parents, we wanted B to get the personal touch and not leave him at one of those pet hotel chains. This was our first time trying Rover and leaving him with someone other than family and friends; we loved it and Janine. Janine provided us with timely updates that curbed our separation anxiety. Definitely will bring him again.”

“Monisa and David were top-notch dogsitters for our 10 yr old, 20 lb., Yorkie mix, Cody. Monisa kept us informed throughout our absence, and we never worried about Cody. He loved their doggy door that led to their large, grassy and shaded backyard. We hope to book with Monisa and David in the future.”

“Shirley did a tremendously good job. One of my cats is very shy of strangers and she could get her out in the open by the second drop in. Took care of the cats wonderfully and provided plenty of photos. 10/10 wood book again.”


“Myat was an awesome pet sitter!! She cared for our babies like her own. She was punctual, responsive and overall very easy to work with. Definitely recommend engaging her services!”


“Ziying was a wonderful cat sitter for our drop-in visits. She is very kind, caring, and easy to communicate with. She kept me updated before visit and shared lots of photos and videos, which I really appreciated. My cats were well taken care of, and I felt completely at ease. I would definitely book Ziying again in the future and highly recommend her.”

“Ayla was an amazing cat sitter! She was punctual, reliable, and gave thoughtful updates that really put my mind at ease while I was away. My cats were well taken care of and I could tell they were comfortable with her. I’ll definitely be booking with her again—highly recommend!”

“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.”


“I’ve been using this sitter for about a year now and she is reliable, friendly, and follows instructions. I super appreciate that she is available when I need her and communication is great.”

“My husband and I got our first kitty (thanks to the kitten distribution system) after already planning an out of town trip. Milk being our first kitten and both of our families’ ever first cat, no one could really watch her due to allergies or being unable to handle a kitten. We decided to take a chance on Rover and found Siqin and Michael. Throughout our trip we were provided with many photos, videos and reassuring messages. Our kitten quickly took to Wanwan and Chuchu too (absolute cutest duo you’ll ever come across, btw). We were also able to see the space our Milky girl would be in and eventually just allowed her to roam their home. They are CLEARLY animal lovers of all kinds and you can tell right off the bat. We plan on boarding Milk quarterly or so because we loved the care they provided Milky… and us! Thank you so much for all you do. We deeply appreciate these lovely paw-rents!”

“Paige is absolutely wonderful! We had never used a home-visiting pet sitter before, but Paige has made me wonder why we waited so long. She is diligent, communicative, timely, and responsive — everything you could hope for in a caregiver. Leaving my beloved elderly rabbit in someone else's hands is no small thing, but Paige gave me such peace of mind that I was actually able to relax and enjoy a trip away for the first time in years. From the very start, she came for a meet-and-greet, carefully reviewed our care instructions, and then followed our rabbit's routine to the letter. Every time she came by, she sent regular texts and photos to keep me updated and make sure she had everything right. That level of attention to detail is rare — and for a pet with specific needs, it makes all the difference. I can't recommend her highly enough.”

“Rebooked with Andrew because I can't imagine trusting my precious baby cat and dog with anyone else! You'd think Andrew was Santa-Claws (ha, get it) from the way my dog IMMEDIATELY starts whining in excitement when he realizes "Uncle Andrew" is going to come spend time with him. My cat, who has NEVER voluntarily crawled onto my lap to sit and chill, is the total opposite with Andrew. He's both the cat AND the dog whisperer, and it's awesome. Andrew's great as always - punctual, caring, communicative, all the things that make for an excellent, trustworthy, above and beyond pet care giver.”

“Denisse and her cat sitting team did a great job caring for our kitties over the holidays while we were on vacation! She came over to meet them and go through their routine the week before our trip. We received a bunch of photos and little updates on the kitties after every visit! We are so grateful that they were willing to take time away from celebrating the holidays to take care of our babies.”


“Su did a fantastic job taking care of my cat for over 2 months while I was away traveling. She's been caring and communicative, and helped with errands more than just cat sitting too. Highly recommend!”


“Jerri did a great job playing with Kianna while my wife and I were out on a long trip. Jerri provided photos and videos to keep our mind at ease that our little elder cat was have fun and had good company”

“We really enjoyed our experience with Qiyun and Benjamin! They were very communicative, gave updates, and my pup Yoshi clearly had a great time staying with them and got a lot of love and attention! We hope for Yoshi to stay with Qiyun and Benjamin again!”

“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”

“We’re so happy we found Pamela! From our very first interaction, we had such a good feeling about her. Rex is a sensitive boy with separation anxiety, so we’re always a little nervous leaving him with someone new. But throughout his stay, we felt like he was in really good hands. Pamela sent us photo updates, which we absolutely loved, and it was so reassuring to see Rex having a good time. She was also incredibly flexible and accommodating, which we really appreciated. When we picked Rex up, he was calm, happy, and not stressed at all. We’ve already booked several more stays with Pamela and are so glad we found someone we feel comfortable leaving Rex with. Highly recommend!! You’ll love her… but please don’t steal all of Rex’s future bookings! Haha 😂”

“This is probably my nth booking with Ru, and there’s a reason I keep coming back. Ru’s reliable, caring, and clearly love the dogs she watches. Mochi gets so excited every time she visits and always comes home happy. Sometimes she seems like she’d rather stay a little longer! I always feel completely at ease knowing she’s in such good hands. Thank you for taking such great care of her. See you next time! 😊🐶”

“Thank you Su! Roxie had such a great time and was happy. Su takes lots of pictures and communicates well with dog owners. Definitely using Su for future dog sitting. Her place was perfect for a dog as well.”


“As a first time Rover customer and working with Darshana as a dog sitter, she exceeded our expectations and provided excellent and service to my pup, who is high energy and active. She provided regular photos and videos of him playing with other dogs and fetch in the yard. She is flexible and accommodating to schedules and needs. Darshana will be our go-to dog sitter who is easy going and naturally connects well with our pup!”

“Lai was so sweet to my dog. She walked him and made sure he was happy while we were on vacation. Very accommodating and kind. I would definitely use her again in the future.”


“We had another wonderful experience! They were incredibly communicative, sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the stay, and made our dog feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. We will definitely continue to use them in the future and highly recommend them!”


“Ashley took care of my pup while I was away for most of the day and she was great. Her dog played with mine, and fannie cuddled up with Ashley on the sofa for a nap. Ashley is very kind and sent pics. Great overall!”

“Cooper came home happy! I know he’s comfortable with Dawn and she always keeps in touch with photos and lets me know how he is doing. She’s a dog lover for sure and I’m so happy to know she’s there for us:)”

“Lucy had another great day with Esala! She was excited to see him and is getting more relaxed at his house, taking naps and making herself at home. Esala is responsive and always sends pictures and updates.”

“Very thankful for Dini for taking care of our 2 big boys! It was our first daycare experience and my 2 dogs had so much fun. She gave us constant updates of pictures and videos which we appreciate so much. Both boys were in good hands and we felt safe leaving them to Dini. Will definitely come back and recommend her to everyone!”

“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!”

“It was Otto’s first time at Rover, and it was a wonderful experience. Shruti sent photos and videos throughout the day, which really put my mind at ease. Overall, we loved the experince and would definitely drop Otto off with Shruti again🤗 Thank you for taking such great care of Otto! P.S Loved Toto too🙂”

“Pluto came back home so happy, relaxed, and full of smiles after spending the day with Dylan and his pups! 😊.. Dylan kept us updated throughout the day with photos and messages, so we knew how Pluto was doing.. Thank you again for taking care of him—we really appreciate it!”

“Sacarina was great! She took wonderful care of Bandido and was very good keeping me posted with updates every day. Bandido was safe and in great hands and had a lot of fun too! I completely recommend booking her services and I’ll definitively do that again. We couldn’t be happier.”

“Amy has been a wonderful dog walker for my golden retriever over a couple of months when I had late nights after work! My dog loves her! Amy does an amazing job at keeping me in the loops about what they did, and any funny stories or behavior changes or potty changes she notes in my dog. Would recommend!”

“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!”

“100% will use Dani again, she’s very prompt, communicates well with us, and takes care our dog very well. She even protected our dog when there are two loose dogs approaching our dog about to attack.”

“Responsive and reliable. Very easy to communicate with and schedule service. Tom provided photo updates of his walks with my dog and was also kind enough to bring my packages inside. I will definitely use Tom for dog walking again in the future.”


“Sarah was great! She was super professional and friendly. I really appreciated her incentive to do a quick meet up with my pups and answer any pressing questions of mine prior to the booking. Thank you Sarah for accommodating my pups. I would definitely recommend her!!”

About: I have been caring for pets since I was 10 years old and have experience looking after my own pets as well as those of family members and friends!

Feel free to please reach out even if it seems that I'm not available! I am pretty open unless I have another schedule / bookings.

“Dakota and Jaclyn were outstanding! They were available on very short notice, which was a huge help while we were away. They took the time to understand Beaux’s routine, asked thoughtful questions, and made sure they understood every aspect of his care before getting started. They were responsive to updates and adjustments, communicated well throughout the visit, and gave us confidence that Beaux was in great hands. It’s clear they genuinely cared about doing the job right, not just completing the visit. We truly appreciated their professionalism, reliability, and attention to detail. We would absolutely book with Dakota and Jaclyn again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for dependable, compassionate pet care.”

“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.”

Luca came home happy and happily tired from all the playtime with Moose — clearly he had a great time! We especially appreciated how Lauren worked to help Luca feel comfortable around larger dogs and encouraged his socialization. That kind of thoughtful attention made a big difference, and it’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after. Highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a caring, attentive sitter who goes the extra mile!”
