“Great job! We had a hard time leaving our recent rescue. They really helped her feel comfortable, gave lots of attention, and gave us frequent updates and pictures. She had a great time there and we were at ease knowing she was being well cared for.”
“I found Diane last minute on Rover, when my dog sitter was unable to care for Jones for a few days. Diane was very organized, even with a household full of dogs, they all seemed happy and well cared for. She and her children obviously love dogs! My Jones per the pictures she sent, made himself at home and seemed very relaxed. That means a lot to me. Nothing worse than trying to vacation and being stressed about your doggy. I will have Diane watch Jones again. He came home super relaxed from his mini vacay! Thanks Diane!”
“Diane and her husband were so welcoming and open to a brief meet, even prior to Kenzies stay. Secure home and yard. Her first visit was 6 days and I received a photo(s) everyday and updates that my girl was doing just fine. Even with the possibility of flight cancellations, Diane was helpful and flexible to extend Kenzies stay, in the event I couldn't pick her up on time. It made me feel supported and one less worry, because I knew my girl was in good hands. 10 out of 10, I recommend!”
“Eros loved his stay. They have a wonderful and clean home and gave Eros lots of love and attention. I got plenty of updates and photos and videos. I will definitely be keeping Joanne and Jim as my first option for taking care of my sweet boy.”
“My dog did wonderfully with Kirsten! I've tried a few different boarding options and Kirsten is by far the best! She sent a daily update to let me know how it was going and was very quick and responsive to communication about both pickup and drop off times. I will certainly be using Kirsten again for my boarding needs.”
“This is Oreo’s second stay with Marilee, Joe and their dog Zuko. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ I know Oreo is well cared for and enjoys his time there taking advantage of the comfy sofa & huge park like yard. We will be back for the next holiday!”
“Briana was great to work with! She watched our dog for 4 days while we were on vacation and sent us photos every day. Communication prior to the booking was fantastic! I felt confident the whole time away that our dog was in great hands”
“My dog had a great time with Lori. This trip was the first time he got to socialize with other dogs. Lori was great to send us pics of him playing with his new friends and she responded to texts quickly after we sent questions about his stay. She also had a plan for keeping the dogs safe and comfortable during fireworks. And she made sure he took his new allergy meds that were prescribed right before our trip. Thanks Lori for taking such good care of Fergus.”
“Wow! Thank you so much, Yifang and Wing! Charlie has been through a lot. Before I adopted him, he had been surrendered to the shelter twice, so he gets very nervous and scared around new people. Yifang and Wing were absolute lifesavers. They were so patient with Charlie and took the time to make sure he felt safe and comfortable. They sent the cutest photos, took him on walks, and gave me so much peace of mind. The sweetest part was that by the time I got home, they really knew Charlie and his little personality. It was clear how much they cared for him. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of my boy. I highly recommend you!”
“I can’t recommend Kazue enough! She takes only one dog (or one family) at a time, which is a huge plus for a dog like Butter who doesn’t do well around other pets/dogs. Kazue updated me with photos and videos at least 3 times a day, which gave me so much peace of mind. I’ll definitely have her board Butter again. If you’re looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter, Kazue is the one!”
“I just can’t say enough nice things about Jared and Andy. They take such wonderful care of our little pup and are great about sending daily pictures of what they’ve been up to. I feel lucky we found them!!!”
“Trina communicated promptly and gave updates of my dog’s stay with her. Perla loved playing with the resident dogs and was nice and worn out when she came home. I would use her again.”
“Reginay was amazing in taking care of my 2 year old energetic dog Canelo. He immediately felt comfortable with her and in her home. She sent pictures regularly that reassured me that he was well taken care of and happy. I’ll definitely be booking Reginay going forward. Canelo loves her!”
“This was our very first time using Rover and to say we were nervous is an understatement. But from the moment we connected with Maria, she completely calmed our nerves. Her communication was amazing — always prompt, clear, and kind — and she checked in just the right amount based on what we needed. We loved the frequent photo and video updates (which were adorable!) and it was clear our pup was not only well cared for but genuinely happy. As a cherry on top, Maria baked homemade dog cookies for our little nugget. Seriously, who does that?! 🐾💕 Maria went above and beyond in every way. She’s thoughtful, trustworthy, and truly has a gift with animals. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and will absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Martha was awesome! Very attentive and caring. Kept in contact to let me know how Angel was adjusting. And sent pictures which reassured me that she is definitely an animal lover 🩷🩷🩷”
“Khyli was wonderful. She kept ALL FOUR of my animals in fairly short notice when I had a last minute travel change. I got photos and knew they were well cared for while I was away. I will def use her again if I'm in the Sacramento area.”
“Catherine is an amazing sitter. Her home is clean and peaceful and my dog had a lovely time there. You can tell she loves dogs and my dog loves her and her husband, even when my husband came to pick him up he went to lie next to Ernie! We plan to use her regularly when we need her service should her schedule allow. Thanks for watching him on short notice!”

“Hans is an absolute hero yet again!! Looked after our two cats with love, care, and great communication! As always their vote counts the most, and they were in fine spirits when we got back. 10/10 would recommend Hans!!”
“Brian is wonderful. My dogs love him. He gave them walks and sweet attention including wiping their little paws after walks. He was communicative throughout. I appreciate his care for my girls greatly.”
“Justin cared for my tortoise, cat and plants. He executed everything perfectly, was flexible, asked thoughtful questions and communicated effectively. Will book again!”
“You can tell Reginay loves animals. She is very patient and works with your pet to make sure they are comfortable. Very communicative and will send pictures and videos throughout the day. Toni loves his stays there. 🥰”
“Holly is a true animal guardian. She takes care of my two cats with special medical needs, earning their love and trust to give insulin injections, syringe meds, and capsule meds. I always feel at ease when Holly takes care of my sweet boys. Thank you, Holly!”
“Alayna, first things first thank you for caring for our fur babies. Alayna was punctual and did everything we asked of her. She’s an amazing Rover. If you choose Alayna, worrying about your fur baby while you’re away will be a thing of the past. She ensures your fur baby is treated like the king or queen they are.”
“Thank you for going above and beyond to take care of our cats. We could not have asked for a better pet sitter, and always feel so relieved when we are lucky enough to have you available to take care of them when we go away!”
About: I love cats and miss caring for my own! After my cat of 18 years passed away, I haven’t had the heart to replace him. I’d love to spend some time with your kitty instead! Playful, shy, or couch potato I’d love to meet your feline friend. I’m happy to clean litter boxes, play, or just chill together on the couch.
“Marina is great! She has been very patient with my difficult cat and I feel completely comfortable knowing she is looking after him when I am out of town. Really happy I found Marina and I would highly recommend her :)”
“Niiyah took great care of our cats while we were out of town. We received lots of photos and updates and it was clear that she gave our pets and home a lot of care and attention. We highly recommend Niiyah!”
“My second time using Victoria and I’ve found her dependable, caring, respectful of my pets and home and great at cleaning up after my cats. I will happily use her again.”
“Very kind and communicative! Stayed with our pups in a hotel while we went to a family wedding. Felt very confident leaving our semi anxious dogs in her care. Highly recommend!”
“Sierra and Seth, both watched our giant dogs today! They did several drop-ins and made sure the dogs needs were very well met at each one. They are also very communicative, which was so important because we have a large dog with reactivity issues and behaviors. Sierra and Seth were very responsive to our dog's needs, and willing to adjust and adapt when our reactive dog needed different kinds of support. We would love for them to sit for us again and their help was irreplaceable!”

“First time with Briana. Thank you for accommodating my two fur babies even with such short notice. I appreciate your flexibility. Receiving pics truly helped a lot, when fur mommy is away. My babies are returning soon.”
“Reginay was kind and accommodating. As far as we can tell, she took care of our pups well, and respected their space when one of ours was slow to trust new people. She even came to our home a few days ahead to meet the dogs, at our request. All in all, I would recommend Reginay for short term per sitting or day care.”
“Justin was fantastic with my dog, Schnitzel, during his 6.5 hour daycare. Justin provided a homey and playful environment, followed his feeding/med schedules, took him outside for potty breaks and communicated a progress report. Check marks to every expectation.”
“June is the best! Bella spent the day with June and her dog Ceaser. Bella is a special needs dog and June knew just how to work with her to make her feel comfortable. June made sure to keep me posted and updated on Bella throughout her stay. She sent lots of pictures so I could see how she was doing. Her dog Ceaser was great with Bella too. Bella has become very attached to June. She also loves Ceaser, her new gentle giant friend. I strongly recommend June if you’re looking for a very responsible caring sitter for your pup. I know Bella is in good hands with June, and will be using her as our sitter in the future.”
“From the moment I met Maria, I knew my dog would be in good hands! 🤗 She was incredibly professional, attentive, and genuinely caring towards my dog. My little dog was very comfortable (as if he was at home) and was treated like a part of her family — which was exactly what I was looking for! I highly recommend Maria to anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog sitter. I will definitely be using her services again in the future! 🐾”
“Our experience with Ceudi was great. She took great care of our dog for the day. He is on regular meds and she gave it on time and kept us posted as well. He seemed happy and comfortable with her and her family. Would definitely recommend her.”
“Great Doggy Daycare! Annie took wonderful care of my dog, Shiloh, during daycare. She was kind, professional, and kept great communication. Shiloh came home happy and relaxed, which tells me everything I need to know! I highly recommend Annie. Randy & Shiloh 🐾”
“Minhhan was the best Rover person I could have asked for with my Frenchie! She is so responsible, diligent and loving with my pup! I will definitely use her again and again whenever I need her support for my pup!”
“My puppy was one of the pack by the end of the day, after playing with the chihuahua, and napping with the boxers. What a great day of camp while Inwas at work! Thank you, Julie and Sherry!”
“I’m always nervous about leaving my pups with someone other than myself, but with everything that Daria did today I am beyond pleased with the service. Daria provided lots of play time for my pups & even brought out a little wading pool for them! They had an absolute blast! Thank you Daria for taking such good care of my pups!!”
“Irina is a lifesaver! I reached out at the last minute the night before, and she responded immediately, accommodating our needs. I have two small senior dogs, and she was very attentive to them. She sent me videos and photos of them throughout the entire sitting. I felt very relieved knowing my babies were safe and at peace. We will definitely hire Irina again for all our future sitting needs.”
“Anna is amazing! She’s so sweet and attentive to my dog Gracie. She’s great with taking photos during the day and is so generous with sharing her dog’s toys and treats with Gracie. Grace is always so happy to see Anna and Rue and is always tired after spending the day there. It’s so nice knowing Gracie is in great care!”
“Matt took such great care of my dog Lillie! He was communicative, was great with introducing her to other dogs slowly, and made sure she felt comfortable. We will definitely book with Matt again in the future!”
“Ingrid watched our sweet Ruby last minute so my husband and I can spend the day together. Ruby returned home so happy and bummed to say bye to her new friends. We hope she’ll watch Ruby again.”
“Sunshine and Shannon watched our dog while we were in town for a football game. They sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the day (: he was a happy boy! Would definitely use them again if we’re back in town 🙌🏼”

“We felt very comfortable with Marina taking our lil' Bruno on a walk. It's clear that she loves dogs! Looking forward to more walks, and some boarding days too! Thank you!”
“Oreo and I so appreciate Amanda and Hector’s help during these beginning weeks of the new school year! I know Oreo looks forward to going on his lunch potty breaks with Hector where he can sniff to his heart’s content. 🐕 💜 🥰 We truly appreciate Hector’s flexibility when he comes a bit earlier some days due to the hotter weather or Oreo’s needs. We will definitely be requesting Amanda & Hector again!”
“Justin was the best. He was never late and helped me so much. I was injured so couldn’t deal with my trash bag, Justin helped me throw them away as well. Again he’s the pro and the kindest.”
“Julia was wonderful with our 8 month old golden. He instantly loved her, and we were very comfortable with her and trusted she would take good care of him and be respectful in our home.”
“Brandon did an excellent job with poncho making sure he got his pee breaks and avoiding other dogs . He kept poncho interested despite poncho being tired and wanting to come back home .”
About: I’ve had lots of dogs in my family from the time I was 6 years old. I was the main source of taking care of them and creating a safe space for any animal around. I’ve babysat both doggies and kitties throughout these years. Tending to their unique needs and personalities. My special skills consist of understanding and reading the pets behavior enough to help us both feel comfortable. I have experience with dietary restrictions and whatnot to understand the challenges that I may approach. I’m comfortable around any size of dog/cat as well. Another plus side is I’m actively volunteering at shelters to understand and learn more about dogs/cats to gain more skills. I work with doordash which means I create my own schedule and choose when I want to work. Also, I have online college courses. All of my teachers don’t do zoom time with me so I’m mostly independently working with myself. This makes me have more free time throughout the day. I live in an apartment with my family and the apartment does provide a dog park. I usually take my dog there before our long walks. My dog is name Pancho and he is nervous and shy at first with dogs, but he would never attack them. He does like the environment to be calm with the other dog, if it’s not calm and the dog is jumping all over him he will be stressed out and will cry to me or simply move away from the dog and look at me with the ‘mom help me’ face.
About: I love animals! I ensure that I will take care of your pet with care and love. I’m an ultimate animal lover! I want you to know your pet is in great care with me and will always be safe and happy! I work mainly home and can easily care for the pet throughout the week at any flexible hours whenever in need of having a pet sitter except Wednesday since I am required to work in office, if Wednesday would like to book, please book at anytime after 5:30pm I am available. I feed them, look after them, and ensure they are in a safe environment when in my care. I also have a big yard outside my apartment for them to play, run, and enjoy the fresh air when outside with me.
“Aicha was really great with our very senior dog. she got him out and walking and he seemed very happy to be in her company. I'm glad she was free to take care of him while we were at work.”
“I don’t know what we’d do without Hans! Probably never be able to leave town again! He’s wonderful with our leash reactive anxious mess, and we came home to a dog who heeled much better than when we left!”
“Lily was fantastic with our two pups! She was on time, communicated clearly and was very reliable! She was able to help us out last minute in a time we really needed it. We will continue to use her in the future!”
About: A dog’s trust is earned, and I’ve had many experiences with dogs of various sizes, temperaments and ages. I volunteer at an animal shelter, which has allowed me to pick up on behaviors and quirks, and improved my ability to adapt to anything unpredictable. Safety and comfortability is my utmost priority, but that doesn’t mean I won’t try my hardest to make sure your dog is having fun! I am a uni student, so my free time may vary depending on the day. However I am pretty flexible with time when I’m not commuting or in class, as school is my biggest obligation at the moment. I am easy to reach so I can also send more updates when there’s changes in my schedule. I value safety and comfortability as I believe pets should be regarded on the same level as children. Pets are a lifelong commitment and responsibility, without safety, they can’t feel comfortable. I truly believe animals are the happiest when they feel safe. I currently have a cat who stays indoors but is given the opportunity to go outdoors when the weather is nice (under supervision). She has plenty of toys to keep her mind stimulated, places to hide if she feels overwhelmed, and comfy areas for her to snooze in.

About: I have had pets growing up and enjoy them and their company. Oddly enough while walking anywhere if there is an animal it will approach me. My wife says I have "Disney Princess" skills. I have two dogs that I care for everyday throughout the day, however, for others my evenings are the best times to during the week, and anytime during the weekend. I ensure I have a clean home, and monitor what my dogs are around to include knowing what can and cannot come into the house. Having a safe and clean environment allows for a helathy life for pets who are family.
“After meeting Lance during our initial meet and greet, I knew that Neko was in great hands. He is very responsive and I appreciated the updates of how walks were going. Including pictures! 😊Highly recommend him and will be asking him to walk Neko again soon!”

“Zariyah was amazing! She sent pictures and videos of my pup and gave me an update on him every day. She took excellent care of him. Her other dogs were very sweet. She took the time to introduce them all to my dog differently, and they all got along. I highly recommend her, and definitely intend to use her again if we need to board him in the future. She even got him to eat while he stayed with her (something no one else has been able to accomplish, so this is very impressive). He came back happy, healthy, and tired - exactly how he should be after a fun time. I highly recommend Zariyah!”
“Our dogs had an amazing stay with this daughter and mom duo. They gave us daily updates and we can tell they loved our dogs like their own. They had a nice yard and space for the dogs to go out and play in! Even with the yard space they still took them on walks and played ball with them. We will definitely book with them again in the future!”
“Brandee's care and concern for my fur-kid was exceptional. She's very likable and an excellent communicator. She's clearly integrated Rover into her household's every day happenings and my dog confidently made himself right at home with her and her family. Dropping a dog off at Brandee's is like taking a kid to a favorite cousin's house for the week -all play and no home sick blues.”
“Rachel and Jason took great care of our pups! We were gone for a few weeks and needed someone whom we could trust. One of our fur babies got injured right before the booking dates, and we were worried about all the new extra care he would require. But after our meet and greet, we felt confident that Watson and Ziggy would be in great hands. Rachel and Jason provided updates while we were away, and when we returned, Watson's injury was much better! If you are thinking about booking with Rachel and Jason, know that your pups will be well looked after!”
“Leslee is the best!! She truly cares about and enjoys the time she spends with our dog. He is always so excited to see her and I feel confident that he is receiving the best care possible.”
“Randi was awesome! She sent me daily updates and the pups came home happy and healthy! We normally board at a kennel, and one of our dogs barks herself hoarse- I was happy to find that our female was much more comfortable in Randi’s home! We will be using her again!”
“Luna spent two nights with Alexandra and she had a great time and came home tired. All of the meet and greet logistics went well and Alex sent pictures each day with a few comments so I knew Luna was doing fine. We will be back!”
“5/5! Achara had great communication and she was amazing with my puppy! My puppy didn't even look back at me when I dropped him off 🫠 Photo updates made me feel at ease and she reassured me that he was doing well. Will definitely rebook with her when I need a sitter again!”
“Great communication and responsiveness. Fenced dirt backyard with 2 French Bulldogs. First time staying at Amanda’s house. He came home clean and happy with resolution of his ear canal infection (needed daily ear drops given during his stay)”
“Justin was a fantastic sitter! He took great care of Ronald, providing updates and pictures. Communication and drop off were very easy. We could tell Ronald had a good time—we highly recommend Justin!”
“Mackenzie watched our Dog Cookie for us while we went on a family trip out of town. Mackenzie was kind enough to send pictures of cookie relaxing and having a good time at her house. Cookie was very happy and had a great time with Mackenzie, we will definitely be reaching out to her whenever we have another family trip. Definitely recommend! 5/5 stars!”
