“Couldn’t have asked for a better place or family to care for our dog! Received multiple updates and pictures of him while we were away! We will definitely be sending our pets here in the future! Thanks again!!”
“Emmeline was an amazing sitter. She watched my dog chico who has many quirks and was able to handle them all without any issues. She sent me tons of photos during the sit which I loved. We definitely want to use her in the future.”
“Jennifer gave us updates regularly about how our pup was doing. She was very responsive and flexible with pick up and drop off times. Our dog had a great visit with her. Thanks !”
“Amy is great, she keeps us updated, sends plenty of pictures and our little one loves hanging with her. Before we took her to Amy, we took her to different Kennels, but every time she would whine for at least 1/2 a day after picking her up. We just picked her up from 5 days with Amy and she has not whimpered at all.”
“Celia is a true dog lover. She took care of my sweet Chihuahua named Joy with love and care. It felt like I’m sending my baby to vacation spa. Celia communicate with me every day, twice a day and sent me pictures to reassure me of the well-being of my joy. I’m very happy and grateful to find such a great dog sitter. I recommend Celia with all my heart she really gave me a piece of mind while I was away.”
“I cannot recommend Steven enough! My dog is quite skittish with strangers and has a very specific routine at home, so I was nervous about boarding. Steven was incredibly understanding and listened to all my concerns, but what impressed me most was how he prioritized reading her body language over just following my instructions blindly. He understood that she might behave differently in a new environment and adapted brilliantly. Despite the challenges of a different household dynamic—managing a 'grazer' around his own dog and mirroring our busy family routine—he made her feel right at home. By the first night, she was eating, playing, and even sleeping in her crate! If you want a sitter who truly understands dog psychology and provides personalized care, Steven is the one.”
“Allison took both my 5 y/o and PUPPY for 2 weeks while we were away on holiday and we couldn’t have been more grateful. Both my dogs had plenty of exposure to other dogs in her care which is very appreciated since they don’t get a chance to interact with others.”
“Lauren and her family looked after Scampi as their own. He was relaxed and seemed too relaxed to come home. He was not in a hurry! I will recommend Lauren and with past experiences I will give her A+! Thanks again Lauren.”
About: I have cared for animals my entire life, because I grew surrounded by them. My goal is to work with any type of animal. Currently I’m studying to become a veterinarian, having this opportunity helps me get more experience and become better at it. Besides my personal life, I’ve taken courses in college to understand better animal behavior and learn more about it! I’ll always do my best to keep your loved ones safe and happy! I’m currently studying in College, but I have plenty of time after 2pm during Monday to Thursday. During Friday and Weekends I’m free and always available for any services! I live in a house that has plenty of space and is fenced. I also have a really friendly dog that loves to play around animals. If your fur baby is more comfortable inside the house, we have plenty of space inside where they can run and play!

“Mk was amazing, so attentive to our Zane, he definitely enjoyed himself. She sent daily pictures of how's he doing, went above and beyond even gave him a goodie bag 😊 will definitely book her for the future”
“Nestor did a fantastic job watching my baby boy Taro. He had a great time going on walks and playing with the dog in the home. My dog is typically very anxious but seemed to fit in perfectly while I was away, putting me at ease.”
“Our guy has some special needs requiring meds, a strict diet, etc. Stephanie heard my concerns and asked all the right questions. It was easy to trust her. She and her family cared for our guy for several days/nights. They treated him like family tending to his needs and showering him with attention & fun. We look forward to the next time we turn Stephanie to support our guy's care.”
“I chose Margerita as my sitter the first time I used Rover and will always choose her. She is terrific. Even though it was last minute, she helped our family and we were able to attend a wedding out-of-town without worry. She even sent photos of him having a blast!-Camille D.”
“Morgan was absolutely amazing with our dog, Winston! From the moment we picked him up, he looked happy, healthy, and so well cared for. It was clear that Morgan and her family treated him with genuine love and kindness, and that gave us so much peace of mind. She went above and beyond by sending beautiful pictures and even thoughtful gifts home with Winston—the frame, photos, and toys were such a sweet surprise and truly meant a lot to us. You can tell Morgan is a true animal lover who cares deeply about the pets she watches. We are incredibly grateful for the attention, warmth, and exceptional care she provided.

I am able to exercise with the dogs and take them out frequently for potty breaks. I also now have 2 large breeds of my own and it has been a mostly fun and rewarding experience.

In my own home and in a clients home I will care for your pets as if they were my own and follow the guidelines and notes that are given to me. I appreciate notes and advice from owners.
“Alessandra was so great! I was super nervous using this app for the first time, but feel truly lucky and blessed having found Alessandra! Upon meeting her, I was super comfortable and I felt as though I was leaving my dog in the care of a good friend or trusted family member. She was very attentive and communicative, I appreciated all the updates and photos while I was away. I have nothing but good things to say, and absolutely recommend her! She will def be my go-to dog sitter! She’s the best!”

“Teresa is a very thorough sitter. We use her to do drop-ins for our cats when we are gone for extended periods of time. She will check and make sure the cats get some attention and sends lots of pictures of them with each check in. She also makes sure the cats have water, food, and clean litter boxes. I would definitely recommend her for animal check ins.”
About: I have always had cats in my life. Caring for my now past Tigger who was 22 years old, through his life he faced a lot of medical problems. I helped give him medication, IV drips, groom matted fur comfortably etc. I also grew up raising 3 litters of kittens. I now have only one cat who came with me from Ohio she is a 2 year old calico named Marciline who loves adventure. When meeting any new animal it's important to take it slow and give space to learn about them. Their comfort levels of engagement as well as needs, ensuring they feel safe, secure and respected. I especially think this is true for kitties.
“What a wonderful home for our Abby to stay while we were away. Crystal and her family made our doggie feel right at home. She was happy, well taken care of and made friends too. Thanks, Crystal for taking such good care of her. Pat”
“Becca was quick with communication and very easy to work with. She was respectful and thoughtful in her questions ace actions. We appreciated her helping us out with our drop-in request.”

I’m experienced with feeding routines, litter box maintenance, and even the occasional stubborn feline attitude. Your cat will be in loving and capable hands while you’re away!
About: I’ve owned my cat for over 10 years now. Within the last few years I’ve rescued and found homes for kittens in need. I love cats, I always have. Most people believe they don’t need much attention, although they are wildly independent I understand they still need lots of love and care. My cat Savvy is so attached to me and doesn’t like to be left alone for too long. Please allow me to help you look after your little loved ones when life gets busy!
About: I’m a dedicated dog lover with hands on experience caring for friends’ and family dogs, as well as my own, using positive reinforcement at home. On walks, I focus on gentle, calm structure, making sure gear fits comfortably, reinforcing polite leash manners, and (if you’d like) practicing simple cues like “sit,” “wait,” and “leave it.” I’m patient with excited dogs and extra gentle with nervous pups, always prioritizing safety and giving plenty of space from other dogs and people when needed. Dogs who need extra space on leash are welcome, I’m comfortable with mild–moderate reactivity and I work at the dog’s comfort level using distance, calm handling, and positive reinforcement.

I double-check harness/collar fit, use secure leash handling, and stay alert to surroundings. I avoid on-leash greetings unless you request them, give dogs space from triggers, and keep walks calm and positive. I’ll follow your routine closely and send photo updates each visit.

I would describe myself as reliable and able to give genuine affection for cats to provide the care they deserve.
“Melissa is a nice care giver! She would meet me 1 day before the walk starts to know Zoy and learn everything needs to know about Zoy. During the stay, she always keep the communication channel open and responds in no delay. We experienced the hottest weather in Bay Area, Mellisa make sure the fan is on max speed and air flows as well as leave plenty water for Zoy. Also provides professional observation and updated to me on how Zoy took the heat!! I was on business travel and she really took care of Zoy and eased on my worrisome mind. Highly recommend her!!

About: I’ve been a nanny and pet owner for over 15 years. Animals are a central part of my life and I’m constantly seeking ways to support the greater community. I raised a pure bread Doberman that was ACG certified. We went to the best trainers in California for 7 years. I’m a nurturer by nature and am eager to shift the perspective and community of bullied breeds. I’m currently transitioning and looking for my next full time corporate career. I’ve been a talent leader in tech for the past 8 years - taking a pause and getting into some work that fulfills me. We live in the country in Modesto with plenty of indoor and outdoor space. We’ve always had well trained animals in the house, but also love for them to feel a part of the family. We give them the best food, best care and of course the best cuddles. We’ve worked with rescues, less able animals and strict disciplined ones. We cater to whatever the animal needs most.
“Paovanary was super helpful ! My dog shepherd has extreme anxiety to people and she made him very comfortable very fast , something we have trouble with at home with company .

About: Hello! My name is Patricia and I love dogs! I have a 6-year-old Corgi, and when dogs stay at my house, they are treated as my own. We have a big fenced-in backyard, complete with a dog agility course! We love to go on walks in our neighborhood and on the Virginia Trail. Sometimes we will stop at Yogurt Mill for a pup-yo! I also have plenty of treat puzzle toys to keep your dog entertained and mentally stimulated throughout the day. I only watch dogs from one family at a time, so you know your pup will be getting lots of attention from me. REQUIREMENTS: In order to stay with us, your dog must be crate trained and must be able to demonstrate some basic obedience commands (for example: sit-stay, down-stay, place, on-leash heel, and recall). I currently work from home, so I will be home most of the day with your pup! If your dog is staying with me for a weekend, there is a good chance we will take them to a park or on a short hike. I have a fully fenced in yard and air conditioning indoors for hot days. I always provide plenty of fresh ice water, and I will always keep your pup on a leash when going for walks outside the backyard.

About: Growing up with animals my whole life I’ve always had a fond love of my pets. I’ve watched numerous family and friends animals while they were away and loved spending time with every one of their pets. I furthered my education by obtaining a bachelors degree in animals science and working in vet medicine, it’s to safe to say it’s my passion! Can’t wait to meet your beloved pets! I currently work at an equine veterinary hospital only 4 days a week. My schedule is flexible enough to maintain your pets normal routines and schedules! Other than work my priority would be your pets! I have a strong love and passion for taking care of animals and take pride in giving the best care to your pets while you’re away!

I am passionate about providing the best care for your pets as I would care for my own. I strive to ensure your pets are provided for in the best way possible that fits all your needs and provides comfort and peace of mind to you and your family.
About: I've always loved taking care of animals. When I was little I had big plans of having a shelter for dogs, cats and horses. I had even planned out the cost. Two neighborhood cats took shelter in our home and garage had three litters with us, that had further sparked my young passion for pet care. Later in life I had taken care of neighbors and families pets. I also worked with and assisted a woman with a dog grooming service (and the occasional cat) which taught me a lot more about animal temperament and handling. I adore animals and would be honored to give your fuzzy friends my best care! I work part time at TJ Max I get my work schedule a week ahead and normally im scheduled for 1 to 2 days for 4 hour shifts. If I were to pet sit for you I would only need be away for 5 hours at a time if I'm shecduled (considering drive time). I am starting school this fall working toward becoming a nurse, so being able to work with animals in the meantime is a blessing. Through the week I care for my cat and my aunts dog. my kitty gets soup time nightly (wet food) and my aunts dog takes two walks a day. In my experience every animal has their own routine they need to feel comfortable, and I am happy to learn and apply it to give the best care possible!

I started pet sitting and dog walking starting in high schooler age 15, and have loved it ever since. I have worked for professional dog walking and pet sitting companies for the past 3 years. I also dog walk and pet sit for friends and families. In college, I was able to attain my Veterinary Technician Certificate. I know how important your fur baby is for you, and I will take nothing but the best care for them. I have experience with all breeds and all sizes. I also have experience with other animals such as cats, rabbits, hamsters, birds, fish, and lizards. I am very outgoing and very passionate for animals and I know your dog or any animal that you have will trust and love me. You are leaving your best friend in the best hands.
“Naomi was fantastic, going above and beyond for both me and my dog. If nothing else is read on this review, I hope it is clear that I am sincerely so grateful for Naomi's professionalism and attention to detail when taking care of my dog with love. Zyla was so happy on the day to day with Naomi, but what really sets Naomi apart was how she showed up during different circumstances. As a last-minute ask, I asked Naomi if she would be able to check on Zyla during the 4th of July fireworks if she wasn't too busy. Not only did Naomi take time out of her holiday to do an unscheduled visit, she actually sat with Zyla for an extended period of time comforting her through the fireworks. I was so worried about Zyla during the 4th, but Naomi's care helped put me at ease and I was so so grateful. For me, her continued communication was excellent, with regular check-ins to ensure we were aligned on how the care was going and what needed to be done. She texted to see if the walk could be shorter because she noticed the weather would be hard for Zyla to walk in, asked to see if a chewed-up toy could be disposed of -- even throwing it away herself into the community bin so I didn't have to come home to trash in my can.”

As long a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to taking care of other people's pets.

“Couldn’t have asked for a better place or family to care for our dog! Received multiple updates and pictures of him while we were away! We will definitely be sending our pets here in the future! Thanks again!!”
“Jennifer gave us updates regularly about how our pup was doing. She was very responsive and flexible with pick up and drop off times. Our dog had a great visit with her. Thanks !”
“I cannot recommend Steven enough! My dog is quite skittish with strangers and has a very specific routine at home, so I was nervous about boarding. Steven was incredibly understanding and listened to all my concerns, but what impressed me most was how he prioritized reading her body language over just following my instructions blindly. He understood that she might behave differently in a new environment and adapted brilliantly. Despite the challenges of a different household dynamic—managing a 'grazer' around his own dog and mirroring our busy family routine—he made her feel right at home. By the first night, she was eating, playing, and even sleeping in her crate! If you want a sitter who truly understands dog psychology and provides personalized care, Steven is the one.”
“Lauren and her family looked after Scampi as their own. He was relaxed and seemed too relaxed to come home. He was not in a hurry! I will recommend Lauren and with past experiences I will give her A+! Thanks again Lauren.”
About: I have cared for animals my entire life, because I grew surrounded by them. My goal is to work with any type of animal. Currently I’m studying to become a veterinarian, having this opportunity helps me get more experience and become better at it. Besides my personal life, I’ve taken courses in college to understand better animal behavior and learn more about it! I’ll always do my best to keep your loved ones safe and happy! I’m currently studying in College, but I have plenty of time after 2pm during Monday to Thursday. During Friday and Weekends I’m free and always available for any services! I live in a house that has plenty of space and is fenced. I also have a really friendly dog that loves to play around animals. If your fur baby is more comfortable inside the house, we have plenty of space inside where they can run and play!
About: I’ve been dog walking almost all my life, growing up with dogs. Since 2023 I’ve been dog sitting neighbors dogs and taking care of their house while they are gone. I am currently a student at MJC, so my schedule is busy in mornings but avalaible after my classes. I will make my time avalaible devoted on what is needed for the dog. I have a beautiful neighborhood perfect for walking a dog. My house is safe with no where for the dog to run away or harm itself.
“My dog had her first overnight stay and it went well! My dog is usually a bit on the anxious side and was made absolutely comfortable. Very happy with the care my dog received. Highly recommend!”
“Mk was amazing, so attentive to our Zane, he definitely enjoyed himself. She sent daily pictures of how's he doing, went above and beyond even gave him a goodie bag 😊 will definitely book her for the future”
“Nestor did a fantastic job watching my baby boy Taro. He had a great time going on walks and playing with the dog in the home. My dog is typically very anxious but seemed to fit in perfectly while I was away, putting me at ease.”
“Our guy has some special needs requiring meds, a strict diet, etc. Stephanie heard my concerns and asked all the right questions. It was easy to trust her. She and her family cared for our guy for several days/nights. They treated him like family tending to his needs and showering him with attention & fun. We look forward to the next time we turn Stephanie to support our guy's care.”
“Morgan was absolutely amazing with our dog, Winston! From the moment we picked him up, he looked happy, healthy, and so well cared for. It was clear that Morgan and her family treated him with genuine love and kindness, and that gave us so much peace of mind. She went above and beyond by sending beautiful pictures and even thoughtful gifts home with Winston—the frame, photos, and toys were such a sweet surprise and truly meant a lot to us. You can tell Morgan is a true animal lover who cares deeply about the pets she watches. We are incredibly grateful for the attention, warmth, and exceptional care she provided. We will absolutely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Grace is very knowledgeable about dogs and is very attentive to them. We were so happy she accommodated our last minute request for our Whisky to stay with her this past weekend.”
About: I have always been a dog lover as well as a dog owner. I am outgoing, responsible, patient and affectionate. I make sure I am caring for each dog properly for their needs and wants. I am able to exercise with the dogs and take them out frequently for potty breaks. I also now have 2 large breeds of my own and it has been a mostly fun and rewarding experience. They help me with my mental health and physical health. My family and I have so much fun dog boarding and I find it fulfilling to work as a dog sitter. Maybe I'll open up a unique pet services business one day 🙏🏾🤗🫶🏾 Pet care fits into my schedule when I am not working a full-time job. As I stated, I have 2 dogs of my own and spend a lot of time training them and taking care of their physical needs. In my own home and in a clients home I will care for your pets as if they were my own and follow the guidelines and notes that are given to me. I appreciate notes and advice from owners.
“Alessandra was so great! I was super nervous using this app for the first time, but feel truly lucky and blessed having found Alessandra! Upon meeting her, I was super comfortable and I felt as though I was leaving my dog in the care of a good friend or trusted family member. She was very attentive and communicative, I appreciated all the updates and photos while I was away. I have nothing but good things to say, and absolutely recommend her! She will def be my go-to dog sitter! She’s the best!”

“This was our first experience boarding a pet. Nadine was very friendly and took very good care of our English Bulldog. Sent pictures every day and was quick to send a message or answer a question. Thank you Nadine.”
“Crystal was an amazing sitter. She watched my 10 week old puppy for me for a week. I adopted him last minute and we already had a beach trip planned. I knew he would be happier in a home being watched closely. She updated me daily with pics. I would definitely use Crystal again!”
