“Madison and Moses were wonderful with my shy pit bull mix. I appreciate that they had no stereotypes surrounding her breed and got to know her for the sweet dog she is. Throughout the week she was there, they provided her the structure and routine she needed to feel comfortable and a thrive as best she can away from home. So grateful I found them and will definitely be using them again for any future boarding needs.”
“It was our first time with Taylor and Andrew and our first time leaving Buddy for vacay. While we were gone we received pics and updates everyday on how he was doing. He enjoyed his with time with his new friends Stella and Lucy. We will definitely take him back here for any upcoming travels.”
“Doug and his family accepted our little one into their family while we were away! From all the puctures they sent we can tell she had a great time! We will definitely benusing them again!!”
“Tyler, his family and friends treated Charlie like one of their own. He was exhausted when I brought him home from playing with the other dogs and crashed out as soon as we got home. Definitely would use Tyler again when needed.”
“Mark and his son were really awesome with our dog, Thor. We booked a 10 day stay, and Mark provided consistent updates on how Thor was doing. They walked him regularly and played with him often, and they have a great home with a back yard Thor could enjoy. I felt comfortable and confident leaving my fur baby with them!”
“This was my dog’s first time ever staying with a sitter and my first time using Rover, so I was a little nervous. She kept me updated with messages and photos throughout the stay, which gave me peace of mind. When my flight was delayed, she was very flexible and gladly extended the booking. Leo was in great hands, and I’d definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Gwen is the best. My dogs always have a wonderful time when they visit her house. Gwen does an excellent job sending updates and communicating how the dogs are doing.”
“Savannah took great care of my pooches. This was the first time being apart from them overnight, so I was a little nervous. She gave several update pics and made sure my two were comfortable and didn't stress about being away from me. One of them is pretty reactive to other dogs, but her and husband were able to walk both pooches without any issues. I look forward to booking with Savannah again in the future.”
“Kaitlin and Verle took great care of Clover again! When Clover arrived at their house for this stay, she was SO excited to see them and ran inside to play immediately. She didn’t even look back at us when we left. We’re so happy and reassured by how much she loves staying with them. Kaitlin and Verle were very communicative and flexible also. We have already booked Clover’s next stay with them for our next trip.”
“This is our second time with Betty in less than a month. We knew exactly who to contact when we decided to take a last minute trip. My pup loves spending time here. She gets so much love. She is always happily exhausted when she comes back home. Thank you Betty for taking such great care of my baby!”
“Jeffrey was kind to me and my doggies. He sent videos and pictures and my doggies seemed very comfortable and calm and happy. We had to last minute extend an extra night and he was so accommodating. I wasn’t worried about my dogs at all while we went away. Very stress free. They had friends to play with plenty of exercise because they got to run free outside in the yard. Highly recommend and will be booking again with Jeffrey if we need to go out of town.”
About: I grew up on a farm with many animals. We have raised our girls with many pets including: chickens, bunnies, several foster and adopted dogs, and rescuing cats that would have been euthanized to live on our farm. We have 1 acre of fully fenced yard in a cozy community. We recently had to put down our sweet pit bull and are looking to opening up our homes to care for others pets at this time. We have a lot of love to give and would appreciate your consideration. I work from home so I am available all day and night excluding of course picking up kids and family activities. We have 4 daughters, 2 of which have graduated high school and in college, 1 going into high school and a 9 year old. They have all had extensive experience with many animals and been involved with agriculture in their middle and high schools. We presently have 2 cats (one of which is fully outdoor and one that comes in at night to sleep). We understand that many individuals have cats that are fully indoor and we have ample space, beds and furniture for your cat to feel comfortable. We are also BIG dog people and missing our sweet pit bull. We have a great neighborhood for taking walks, a 1 acre fully fenced yard for running and playing in. We will keep all cats indoors at all times. We will have any animals that stay with us in our home at night and have dogs go out frequently to play.
“Super grateful for Jasmine! She took a last minute booking for our dog over the holiday weekend so we could visit family. Communication was great, and our dog came home happy and well cared for. Will definitely use them again in the future.”
“Terri is a true animal lover. She cared for my dog Lucy over the weekend. She took Lucy for plenty of walks and even took her to the lake a couple times. Baked her some dog treats and even sent her home with a batch. Plenty of pictures. We are very pleased.”
“amazing sitter. He had our pup for 10 days. Sent us daily photos and videos. His house is perfect for dog sitting and he's also a very nice person. Thanks so much, will definitely use Jacobs services again”
“Tanaya was amazing with our dogs. She provided daily pictures and communicated when one of my dogs was refusing to eat (due to nervousness). My dogs were happy during their stay and got along well with her dogs. If I need a sitter, I'm definitely going to check her availability first!”
“Nate and Ray are the best. Have used them several times. Woofy knows exactly where she is headed when we turn the corner on their street. I get constant photo updates. These guys will always be our first choice.”

“Kaitlyn did a great job watching my cat for me while I was gone for a while. He was happy and healthy when I returned. I received photos twice daily when she checked in and it was great!”
“Marla is the absolute best! We don’t know what we’d do without her. She’s so wonderful with our kitty cat, Roco. Roco just loves her and we know she’s being spoiled and taken care of. A huge thank you to Marla for everything. She genuinely loves animals. We can’t recommend her enough. This is our second time with Marla and we will absolutely hire her again. Highly recommend!”
“We were fortunate to have Trinity come to our house each morning for almost 3 weeks to care for our two cats. It was best to keep the cats at home and comfortable in their routines rather than traveling to a facility. Trinity checked in each morning and sent pics to me from each visit and that helped put me at ease. All went well and when we travel again, I wouldn’t hesitate to contact River and ask for Trinity again. Thanks Trinity!”
“Bree, was very thorough she came in on time played with Birdie and took care of everything requested. I will definitely request her services when I leave for my next vacation.”

“Charlie is a gem. We've been going to him for over 10 years now and he's always cared so well for our pups. They actually get excited to see him even though they know that means we're leaving.”
“My little man Brady absolutely loved his time with Lucy and Stella. Huge thanks to Taylor and Andrew I can’t say enough good things! Being able to be absent without the stress of his well being is priceless. This was our first time using Rover and couldn’t be happier. We will absolutely be back sooner than later!”
“Shelby and Dalton are the best! They are so responsive and accommodating!! Literally lifesavers, I work really long hours and my husband, who usually watches our dog during the day, had to travel for work last minute. Shelby and Dalton agreed to watch my pup on one of my long days and were so understanding and flexible when I had to pick her up later in the evening - truly I don’t know what I would’ve done without them! They treated her as if she were their own and she LOVED playing with their sweet pup and cuddling with one of the cats, and I got lots of updates and pictures throughout the day. I couldn’t recommend them enough, I will definitely be taking her back to hangout and play with her new best friends!”
“Oliver enjoyed his time at Doug and Marisol’s home doggie daycare this week! I felt relieved knowing my little guy was being well-cared for while I was at work. They provided Oliver with a cozy environment and his prescription food & treats.”
“Madison & Moses are awesome! So easy to communicate with and both have a great, calm energy that was perfect for helping my shy, anxious, rescue pittie feel right at home. It’s clear they’re both well-versed in dog behavior and I appreciate that they met my dog right where she was at. They had no issues giving her the time, space and patience needed to open up in her own time - it made all the difference. Thankful to have found them!”
“Virginia is an amazing pet sitter. She truly cares for the animals and the clients she is working with. She follows instructions well and gives updates daily and answers questions or concerns in a timely manner. She gave me peace of mind while I was away. 5 stars.”

About: Growing up I have always had dogs on the property and consider them part of the family. I believe a well trained dog is loved by its owner. I am an animal lover who want to help those who have a hard time with placement. I enjoy spending time with other people's pets because I am unable to have one for myself at this time. I am currently retired so I have time to spend with them daily. I can take them to parks, beach, lakes, etc. Depends on breed and how active they are. I have aquariums, reptiles and my extended family has dogs that I am frequently around. I have had exotic, elderly, injured and sick pets in my care. I foster for the Humane Society periodically and adjust my home according to the pets needs.
“We couldn't have been happier with everything, from how quick and responsive Erica was to our first inquiry, to her professionalism asking questions about our two dogs and their needs. Our pooches came back calm and happy. Thank you again, Erica!”
“I can tell our pup Mochi had a great time with Christina and her fiance, They took him out on a few walks, and gave him lots of attention! Great communication and sent us lots of pictures!”
“Berenice is amazing! She took great care of my pup and I am so grateful to her! He enjoyed spending time at her house with other doggies and her kids. She sent me photos and the report. She also got me a really nice card with his paw for Mother's Day! What a great thought! She just went above and beyond. I would recommend her for sure and will be using her services again in the future when in town.”
About: Hi! I'm new to the Rover app, but I'm not new to caring for animals. I've always had a natural connection with animals and they seem to gravitate toward me wherever I go. I’m a stay at home mom of a 3 and 5 year old so I am always home and always active and my fiance is home while I run errands. We have a decent size fenced yard where your animal can get some energy out while staying safe. I truly believe animals are family, and I care for every pet as if they were my own child. I'm highly communicative, reliable, and genuinely empathetic. I pay close attention to each pet's unique personality and needs, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or just having a calm companion, I'll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member. That's why I'll keep you updated with plenty of photos, videos, and messages throughout each visit, so you always know how your pet is doing and can enjoy those special moments even while you're apart. If you're a busy family looking for a dependable dog walker or pet sitter who will treat your pet with patience, kindness, and lots of love, I'd be honored to help. I can't wait to meet you and your best friend! I am a mom of two girls. I have a flexible schedule and I’m willing to do whatever’s necessary to make sure your pet is taken care of. I’m a hair stylist on weekends and I love when people bring their dogs to their appointments. Rover is great way for me to play with animals, get some exercise, and make some extra income. Just message me 😊 I make sure the dog goes outside to use the bathroom . Make sure the food and water bowl is always fresh and full. Engage and play with your pet. Chill, lay down, and watch tv together. I absolutely love playing tug of war with dogs so make sure to pack that toy in their overnight bag LOL. If I were to come to your house I would let you know exactly when I enter and when I leave and give you updates on your pet .
“Nervous about leaving your new puppy in the care of a stranger? Don’t be when it’s Betty! My Cooper is 3 months old, naturally shy with strangers, and normally suffers with separation anxiety. The morning I dropped him off, I placed Cooper down on the pavement to see how he would react. To my amazement, Betty’s kind spirit attracted him like a moth to a flame. He ran over, pounced into her open arms, and followed her into her the house without so much as a cry. When I picked him up he that evening he gave her a million kisses before leaving. The following day, he did the same but with even more gusto. There is nothing as comforting and reassuring to a pet mom, than your little one adoring their caretaker enough to happily leave your side. Thank you, Betty! Cooper has a new Grams. ♥️”
“Jennifer (and her husband, Chris) were such wonderful caretakers to our dog, Odi! She was so receptive to texts and sent multiple pictures throughout the day to keep me updated on how he was doing. I honestly think he was a little bummed to come home after all the fun he had exploring, walking and playing with their sweet dog, Harper. I'm very grateful to have found them and Odi will be thrilled with another visit someday.”

About: I've grown up with cats since I was 8 and began petsitting for people in my 1st couple years of college around 2015. I've done both dogsitting and catsitting for people and I love both animals equally! I have petsat for people with animals of all ages, with the youngest dog I have watched being about 8-10 months and the oldest being about 14 or 15. I love exploring new places and being outdoors especially since I live in one of the most beautiful places in the U.S. with the best weather! I find it equally enjoyable to see a dog smile and to see him/her bring joy to their owner and to people around them. I love to see how dogs can bring people together and get people to connect who would otherwise likely never talk to each other. I genuinely enjoy helping others and caring for pets really is its own kind of therapy! I will always clean up after pets even if its raining or if the dog wants to rush off and I have to step on the leash to keep him/her from taking off. I live by the golden rule and will do what I can to hold people accountable for pets that aren't being taken care of and/or cleaned up after. I'm currently working part time at San Diego Community College district as an Educational Coach with a students who are special needs or neurodivergent student population. I work about 17-19 hours a week for that job and am typically away from the home for 5 hours a day or less on Mon-Thurs depending on the day and number of students I'm meeting with. Some administrative tasks for my school job can be done remotely. I want to do more dog-walking and housesitting because it motivates me to stay active and foster connections with animals that my current living situation doesn't allow for. I also love hearing people's pet rescue stories and funny stories because each pet has its own personality and leaves pawprints on others hearts and lives! I love spending time with pets by throwing them their favorite toy and cuddling with them on the couch or bed. I also care for them by taking them for walks or finding the perfect new toy from an old volleyball, piece of rope, or other seemingly random objects that pets decide to take a liking to. Its interesting to see what they choose and of course there are limits there of things that should not be considered due to being hazardous due to being a choking hazard, but I'm all about finding new ways for them to have fun. I will feed them as often as you need and I have also given a dog its pills disguised in peanut butter or in its kibble a few times. If your animal is only allowed in parts of the house or yard I will keep the pens up and only allow it out as directed. I will provide them water as well as with treats or dental chews as preferred. I will take dogs out to use the bathroom as often as I am able, typically once every couple hours while I'm home and once every few hours if I'm going out. Feel free to reach out via text to clarify this, especially if your pet has specific needs or needs to be taken out more frequently to use the restroom.

“We're glad we've found Erika! Roscoe (my dog) really enjoys his walks with her. You have to be very patient to walk Roscoe and Erika seems to have the gift.

“Madison and Moses were wonderful with my shy pit bull mix. I appreciate that they had no stereotypes surrounding her breed and got to know her for the sweet dog she is. Throughout the week she was there, they provided her the structure and routine she needed to feel comfortable and a thrive as best she can away from home. So grateful I found them and will definitely be using them again for any future boarding needs.”
“It was our first time with Taylor and Andrew and our first time leaving Buddy for vacay. While we were gone we received pics and updates everyday on how he was doing. He enjoyed his with time with his new friends Stella and Lucy. We will definitely take him back here for any upcoming travels.”
“They were so great with Harriet and it seems like I missed her more than she missed me. I’ll definitively hit them up again and they also have the perfect backyard for a large baby like Harriet. I’m so incredibly grateful for their services and care!”
“Tyler, his family and friends treated Charlie like one of their own. He was exhausted when I brought him home from playing with the other dogs and crashed out as soon as we got home. Definitely would use Tyler again when needed.”
“Mark and his son were really awesome with our dog, Thor. We booked a 10 day stay, and Mark provided consistent updates on how Thor was doing. They walked him regularly and played with him often, and they have a great home with a back yard Thor could enjoy. I felt comfortable and confident leaving my fur baby with them!”
“This was my dog’s first time ever staying with a sitter and my first time using Rover, so I was a little nervous. She kept me updated with messages and photos throughout the stay, which gave me peace of mind. When my flight was delayed, she was very flexible and gladly extended the booking. Leo was in great hands, and I’d definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Savannah took great care of my pooches. This was the first time being apart from them overnight, so I was a little nervous. She gave several update pics and made sure my two were comfortable and didn't stress about being away from me. One of them is pretty reactive to other dogs, but her and husband were able to walk both pooches without any issues. I look forward to booking with Savannah again in the future.”
“This is our second time with Betty in less than a month. We knew exactly who to contact when we decided to take a last minute trip. My pup loves spending time here. She gets so much love. She is always happily exhausted when she comes back home. Thank you Betty for taking such great care of my baby!”
“Jeffrey was kind to me and my doggies. He sent videos and pictures and my doggies seemed very comfortable and calm and happy. We had to last minute extend an extra night and he was so accommodating. I wasn’t worried about my dogs at all while we went away. Very stress free. They had friends to play with plenty of exercise because they got to run free outside in the yard. Highly recommend and will be booking again with Jeffrey if we need to go out of town.”
About: I grew up on a farm with many animals. We have raised our girls with many pets including: chickens, bunnies, several foster and adopted dogs, and rescuing cats that would have been euthanized to live on our farm. We have 1 acre of fully fenced yard in a cozy community. We recently had to put down our sweet pit bull and are looking to opening up our homes to care for others pets at this time. We have a lot of love to give and would appreciate your consideration. I work from home so I am available all day and night excluding of course picking up kids and family activities. We have 4 daughters, 2 of which have graduated high school and in college, 1 going into high school and a 9 year old. They have all had extensive experience with many animals and been involved with agriculture in their middle and high schools. We presently have 2 cats (one of which is fully outdoor and one that comes in at night to sleep). We understand that many individuals have cats that are fully indoor and we have ample space, beds and furniture for your cat to feel comfortable. We are also BIG dog people and missing our sweet pit bull. We have a great neighborhood for taking walks, a 1 acre fully fenced yard for running and playing in. We will keep all cats indoors at all times. We will have any animals that stay with us in our home at night and have dogs go out frequently to play.
“Super grateful for Jasmine! She took a last minute booking for our dog over the holiday weekend so we could visit family. Communication was great, and our dog came home happy and well cared for. Will definitely use them again in the future.”
“Terri is a true animal lover. She cared for my dog Lucy over the weekend. She took Lucy for plenty of walks and even took her to the lake a couple times. Baked her some dog treats and even sent her home with a batch. Plenty of pictures. We are very pleased.”
“Samantha is AMAZING! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone. She kept me updated while I was gone, sent pictures, and truly cared for my pup like her own. I felt at ease while away!”
“amazing sitter. He had our pup for 10 days. Sent us daily photos and videos. His house is perfect for dog sitting and he's also a very nice person. Thanks so much, will definitely use Jacobs services again”
“Tanaya was amazing with our dogs. She provided daily pictures and communicated when one of my dogs was refusing to eat (due to nervousness). My dogs were happy during their stay and got along well with her dogs. If I need a sitter, I'm definitely going to check her availability first!”
“Nate and Ray are the best. Have used them several times. Woofy knows exactly where she is headed when we turn the corner on their street. I get constant photo updates. These guys will always be our first choice.”
