“Nancy have excellent communication. She sent us photos during our dog's stay as well as updates. We had some daycare stays prior to our long trip and Nancy was very flexible and helpful in planning these and helping our dog be comfortable away from home. We have a high energy dog and Nancy took him for daily walks to keep up with his routine. We are so thankful that he has a home away from home with Nancy and her family. Highly recommend!”
“I highly recommend Lily to anyone looking for a sitter. She is very kind and friendly with dogs. Our dog is anxious in new places. Lily clearly understood her nature and took excellent care of her. This is the second time leaving our dog with her and our dog loves Lily. She sends daily updates with pictures which helped us be at ease and enjoy our vacation. Lily is the best and is one of my go to dog sitters.”
“Nina and Tony are amazing! They were so good with our sweet Pebbles while we went away for over a week. We can tell Pebbles had a blast, they took care of her like she was their own. They are also just very nice people, great updates and easy going. Pebbles made a couple of new best friends and she will absolutely be going back some time!”
“Elise accommodated our Daisy at a very last minute request during a long holiday weekend. She was very professional and her communications along with daily update with pictures and videos were excellent.”
“Diana took excellent care of my two pups, between her consistent communication to seeing how happy they were while there, I couldn’t be happier! I highly recommend her for your sitting needs”
“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!”
“Marsha sent me lots of photos and it looked like Pluto was having a great time. She communicated well with me and I felt comfortable leaving my little four legged buddy with her. I appreciated that Marsha was flexible when I had a last minute change to my drop off day/time. I would not hesitate to leave Pluto with her in the future!”
“Dana really took a very good care of our pet, Dasher. Our original sitter canceled last minute and I found Dana on the Rover app. She made sure Dasher felt at home, safe, loved, and cared. She was also very responsive to messages. She shared pictures of Dasher with us while we were away. I could see Dasher got really attached to Dana and was constantly looking for her while we were trying to bring him back. Recommended 100%.”
“Jianli & Wiena took very good care of our dog. They were very caring and took care of all her needs and send us lots of photos and videos with regular updates. We highly recommend him & will definitely use them again.”
“Sriram is a fantastic sitter! I’ve had mixed luck in the past, but he exceeded all expectations. My dog was treated like family, enjoying tons of walks and play in a safe, spotless home. Sriram’s constant updates and photos gave me total peace of mind. I picked up a happy, relaxed pup who clearly enjoyed his 'vacation’ lol. We will absolutely be booking with Sriram and his awesome family again!”
“We had the pleasure of having Judi sit for our two boxers - Max and Doja recently. She was absolutely amazing and wonderful with our two girls. I can’t say this enough! From the very beginning when we first met Judi, she was patient and very knowledgeable about the Boxer breed, which gave us a comforting feeling that our two girls would be in great hands. She listened to our concerns regarding our dog’s health conditions and was very mindful when it came to their care. We appreciated all the updates and pictures that we received daily from Judi. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We highly recommend her and will most definitely be utilizing her services again in the future.”
“Thanks for taking excellent care of my dog, Friday while he was recovering from a leg injury. I loved all the pictures and updates. You were great at communicating and following all my extensive instructions 😅 and also were super flexible and helpful during a stressful period. You also really cared about my dog's well being, taking him on sniffing walks and car rides and playing games with him to keep him entertained. I would 100% recommend you both to other dog parents! Thank you!”
“I booked Ken’s daycare and boarding for my nearly 2 year old 90lb German Shepard mix, Maya. Maya had an unexpected antibiotic regimen that required Ken to adjust his care with her- but Ken did a great job with adapting to this need and reassuring us that he was able to do so. His Doberman, Neo, was also a great play mate that helped Maya feel better while we were away. That helped us feel better as well with knowing that Maya always had someone to play with. Ken kept us updated with multiple texts, pics, and videos of Mayas care and we will definitely contact him again for future stays!!”
“First timer using Rover , was a little hesistant but Janine Made it such a great experience . My little Sparrow was well taken care of and Janine made sure to ask all the right questions before taking him to make sure he was cared for. She sent me updates and pictures and made this experience great . Thank you for loving on my fur baby .”
“Melody did a fantastic job with my pup. She kept me updated daily with the routine and pictures. She was kind, patient, and made Ruby feel right at home. Would 10/10 recommend and will definitely rebook with Melody and her mother.”
“Shaira took wonderful care of my dog Chubby. She took her out on walks and played with her. I am glad that my dog got to have her own vacation too when we were out of town. Shaira also sent us multiple updates with pictures and videos every day 💓!”
“We had a great experience with Pratima.. She is reliable & attentive. From the start, communication was smooth and reassuring— Pratima kept us updated with messages and photos, which really put our mind at ease while we were away. Both my dogs were happy, well-cared for, and comfortable. It’s clear Pratima took the time to understand our dogs routine and needs. We definitely recommend Pratima to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter, and we’ll be happy to book with them again in the future.”
“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.”
“This was our second time using Caddie and somehow it was even better than the first! She went above and beyond by creating a schedule for Omi (who didn’t really have one before), and it worked amazingly well—I’ll absolutely be sticking with it. Omi got her daily walks and I loved receiving so many pictures and videos. I had total peace of mind knowing Omi was happy, cared for, and in such great hands. Cannot recommend Caddie enough.”

“Jessica is a fantastic sitter! She took great care of our cat during the holiday break, even on bad weather days. I loved the photo updates and felt completely at ease knowing our cat was in such capable hands. Our cat clearly bonded with her and will miss her. She also took care of the mails, moved the trash bins and made sure that the doors were locked. Thanks Jessica!”
“Thomas was an excellent sitter. He followed my cat’s routine very precisely and clearly put a lot of care into every visit. His communication was outstanding, consistent updates, thoughtful notes, and photos that made me feel completely at ease while I was away. He truly went above and beyond, spending extra time to make sure my cat was comfortable and engaged. I felt very safe leaving my pet in his care and would absolutely book him again. Really 10/10 Thaank you❤️❤️❤️🙏”
“Alex was excellent with our boy (cat). Alex is very patient, calm and caring pet sitter i can see he is true animal lover. He followed all the instructions during the visit. He even made sure to take the package from door step and put it inside in our absence. I strongly recommend him and will be booking him again for future visits”
“Jill was wonderful with our cat! She is everything that you expect from a pet sitter. She gave our cat the love that the owner cannot give while away from home and provided her the cares she needed. That’s all we wanted. Thank you, Jill!”
“Kathleen did a great job taking care of Cody. Administering medications isn’t easy, and she made sure he got them. She left detailed notes of every visit. I highly recommend her and will definitely request her again in the future. Thank you!”
“Chloe was professional, friendly, and competent. Provided timely updates, responded promptly, and demonstrated excellent judgment when travel issues left me unable to respond during one of her drop-ins. I recommend her for anyone looking for cat sitting services.”
“Kruti was great! It was my first time using Rover and she helped walk me through the process very patiently and professionally. She was also patient with my kitty, taking the time to get to befriend her until she was comfortable enough to play which is terrific. The last day of her drop-ins was during an intense heat wave and Kruti put the fan on to help keep things cool for Oz - overall really kind and thoughtful. Would absolutely rebook!”
“Veronica is the best cat sitter I have ever hired! Her attention to details and her clear communication while we were away gave me great confidence that my cat is being taken care of. Will certainly hire her again if we go away next time!”
“Paige was extremely communicative, reliable and amazing! She sent update pictures for every visit and assured me that my pet bunny Luna was happy, healthy and well cared for. I was worried since most people don't have much experience with bunnies, but Paige asked thorough questions to make sure she cared for Luna in the best way possible. Would extremely recommend her!”
“I felt very comfortable going away and leaving my pets in Aurora’s care. She is very attentive to my pets needs and always gave extra loves. I really appreciate her communications messages to provide updates. This was my second time using Aurora and won’t be my last. I would highly recommend her if you want the best care for your pet while you are away.”
About: Cats are a central part of my life. As a proud parent of a 6-year-old Ragdoll, I am deeply familiar with the attentive care, grooming needs, and sensitive routines that premium, long-haired breeds require. Over the years, I have built extensive experience managing multi-cat households while pet-sitting. My experience spans a wide variety of breeds, including plush British Shorthairs (Golden Chinchillas), affectionate Orange Tabbies, and charismatic rescues. I excel at handling distinct feline temperaments—whether your cat is an outgoing social butterfly or a shy kitty who needs patient, quiet companionship. During drop-ins, I ensure strict separate dietary routines are followed, maintain meticulous litter box hygiene for multi-cat setups, and provide plenty of engaging playtime and photo updates.
“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 :)”
“Siqin will always be our go-to sitter. Literally a blessing — I would recommend anyone and everyone to book with her!! Our kitty really loves being with her and her husband. It’s like her second home at this point. Love love love!”
“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!”

“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.”
“I left my 10 month old pup with Elise on a Saturday so I could go to San Francisco to see a show. Elise was wonderful about being flexible with the time as I wasn't sure when I'd be back. And when I picked up my pup, he clearly had an awesome time. He had such a big smile on his face like he wanted to tell me all about it! And as I started walking with him to the car, he turned and looked at Elise as if he may want to stay with her. :-) This was wonderful for me because he is very attached to me and I wasn't sure how he'd do when I left him in an unfamiliar situation. I'm so happy that I found Elise on Rover. My experience with her was fantastic and I highly recommend her!”
“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”

Communication was smooth and prompt, and he was incredibly accommodating. I highly recommend him. Your dog will feel right at home!”
“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.”

I follow proper schedule for playtime and other activities so that the pets do their daily exercise.

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.
“Pallavi was very caring for Zoey. She stayed with Zoey throughout the day, slowly introduced Zoey to their golden retriever, and asked questions about Zoey to ensure the best before looking after her. Pallavi cares about the small details about your pet and was very loving with Zoey. I recommend Pallavi!”
About: We’ve had pets all our lives. Currently, we have two cats. For the most part, someone is always WFH. The only day one of us isn’t WFH is Thursday. If we know early enough, we can flex our schedules if any sitting is needed on Thursday. We’ve watched bunnies, cats, and dogs for friends/family including giving medication. We have had no aggression from our pets with the pets we’ve watched. We have a second room(atm being used as an office/guest room), so if you want your pet separate from ours pets, that is something we can accommodate. For dogs during boarding, our household prefers dogs that tend to ignore our cats. Also, we have a preference for senior dogs since they tend to be low energy and do not require long walks to use the restroom. For cats, we have experience with all kinds of energy and ages. If you have a cat with a lot of energy, our Taro girl has shown that she loves playing with all the energetic kitties and helps them come out of their shell. However, both our cats can adapt to senior cats as they both love to lounge. We are willing to negotiate our prices if you believe your pet to be low maintenance or if for example doggy daycare, your pet would be with us for less than 7 hours. Just ask and we can see what we can do during the meet and greet. There is usually always someone at home except Thursday. If you need sitting help on a Thursday, reach out early and we can see about flexing our WFH schedule for that week. One of us is a morning person and the other an evening person in case you have a pet with a weird schedule. We ask for a clear schedule such as when to walk and feed and follow it. This information will always vary depending on the pet or even if they are on medication. For all pets, we’ve given them some space, especially from our pets and seen if they can interact or not depending on what their owners want. We also try to incorporate playtime if they want that.

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.

About: Dog Experience: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. When I was growing up, I owned and trained a black Labrador, and later our family adopted a Golden Retriever Labrador mix. My favorite doggy adventures were running on the beach with our sweet Honey, and then bathing her before coming in the door. She passed away last summer due to cancer, and I miss her very much. I currently volunteer at the East Bay SPCA. I am an active member of the Jog-A-Dog program, and exercise shelter dogs by taking them on short 3-mile jogs around parks and neighborhoods. I have experience working with a variety of breeds and temperaments, from adults to puppies, including both anxious, reactive, confident, and laid-back animals. Cat Experience: I also grew up with a stray American shorthair cat who adopted our family when I was in kindergarten. When I would play in my neighborhood, the cat took notice of me, and our bond grew from there. We developed our own sign language, where I would hold out my hand to her, and she would come up to me and lick it, then follow me everywhere. Slowly, she started hanging around our house until my dad finally invited her inside. My mom walked into the living room one afternoon and caught my dad sitting on the couch with the cat purring on his lap. It was then that we all realized that this cat had made its way into our hearts and become a permanent member of our family. I think I'm more of a cat person than a dog person, just because cats always seem to be drawn to me. However, I have a big heart for all types of animals, reptiles, and insects. Other pet experience: In college I adopted a turtle from our neighbor because the owner could no longer care for it. I would take the turtle with me a few times to the park on the weekends, where it could graze on fresh green grass and bask in the sunshine. I also had a few betta fish at the time, and taught them how to leap into the air for a few seconds (with the promise of food, of course). Insect Experience: I love butterflies!! I have always loved butterflies -- my first word was "butterfly". When I was in first grade I was wandering around our neighborhood, waiting for my friend to get home so we could play together. I cam across a Monarch butterfly caught in a spiderweb that was plasterd against the outside windowsill of my neighbor's house. After staring at it for a little while, I noticed the butterfly's wings start to move. I reached my hand into the spiderweb and set the butterfly free. The butterfly crawled onto my hand and it was then that I realized the wings were damaged. My friend came out of her house soon after, and we created a little home for the butterfly to receive plant nectar and water (in a lid). Then my parents arranged to visit my great-grandmother in a nursing home, so I took the butterfly to show her. We traveled by airplane to Ohio. My mom said that my great-grandmother had lived in Pacific Grove, CA, before she was sent to Ohio, and would watch the Monarch butterfly migration take place in her backyard. When my great-grandmother saw the Monarch butterfly I had brought her, she lit up! She still remembered the butterflies from her hometown and was very grateful to see the butterfly alive and well through its journey to Cleveland, OH. Throughout my life I've had multiple experiences with various types of butterflies landing on me while hiking or lounging by the pool with my family. It's always a magical and awe-inspiring experience.

“I highly recommend Lily to anyone looking for a sitter. She is very kind and friendly with dogs. Our dog is anxious in new places. Lily clearly understood her nature and took excellent care of her. This is the second time leaving our dog with her and our dog loves Lily. She sends daily updates with pictures which helped us be at ease and enjoy our vacation. Lily is the best and is one of my go to dog sitters.”
“Nina and Tony are amazing! They were so good with our sweet Pebbles while we went away for over a week. We can tell Pebbles had a blast, they took care of her like she was their own. They are also just very nice people, great updates and easy going. Pebbles made a couple of new best friends and she will absolutely be going back some time!”
“Elise accommodated our Daisy at a very last minute request during a long holiday weekend. She was very professional and her communications along with daily update with pictures and videos were excellent.”
“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!”
“Dana really took a very good care of our pet, Dasher. Our original sitter canceled last minute and I found Dana on the Rover app. She made sure Dasher felt at home, safe, loved, and cared. She was also very responsive to messages. She shared pictures of Dasher with us while we were away. I could see Dasher got really attached to Dana and was constantly looking for her while we were trying to bring him back. Recommended 100%.”
“We had the pleasure of having Judi sit for our two boxers - Max and Doja recently. She was absolutely amazing and wonderful with our two girls. I can’t say this enough! From the very beginning when we first met Judi, she was patient and very knowledgeable about the Boxer breed, which gave us a comforting feeling that our two girls would be in great hands. She listened to our concerns regarding our dog’s health conditions and was very mindful when it came to their care. We appreciated all the updates and pictures that we received daily from Judi. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We highly recommend her and will most definitely be utilizing her services again in the future.”
“Thanks for taking excellent care of my dog, Friday while he was recovering from a leg injury. I loved all the pictures and updates. You were great at communicating and following all my extensive instructions 😅 and also were super flexible and helpful during a stressful period. You also really cared about my dog's well being, taking him on sniffing walks and car rides and playing games with him to keep him entertained. I would 100% recommend you both to other dog parents! Thank you!”
“I booked Ken’s daycare and boarding for my nearly 2 year old 90lb German Shepard mix, Maya. Maya had an unexpected antibiotic regimen that required Ken to adjust his care with her- but Ken did a great job with adapting to this need and reassuring us that he was able to do so. His Doberman, Neo, was also a great play mate that helped Maya feel better while we were away. That helped us feel better as well with knowing that Maya always had someone to play with. Ken kept us updated with multiple texts, pics, and videos of Mayas care and we will definitely contact him again for future stays!!”
“We had a great experience with Pratima.. She is reliable & attentive. From the start, communication was smooth and reassuring— Pratima kept us updated with messages and photos, which really put our mind at ease while we were away. Both my dogs were happy, well-cared for, and comfortable. It’s clear Pratima took the time to understand our dogs routine and needs. We definitely recommend Pratima to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter, and we’ll be happy to book with them again in the future.”
“This was our second time using Caddie and somehow it was even better than the first! She went above and beyond by creating a schedule for Omi (who didn’t really have one before), and it worked amazingly well—I’ll absolutely be sticking with it. Omi got her daily walks and I loved receiving so many pictures and videos. I had total peace of mind knowing Omi was happy, cared for, and in such great hands. Cannot recommend Caddie enough.”
“Joey and Coco had a wonderful time staying with Nicole. She sent me frequent updates about their activity and kept them engaged throughout their stay. I will definitively be rebooking their stay with her the next time I need to travel.”
“Hong is very professional. Went super well with my dog and send me pictures and videos everyday. I almost felt like my dog doesn’t want to come back with me when I picked him up. Highly recommended!”
“Fang took great care of our dog Aspen during her weekend stay. She is very responsive and flexible and sent many updates with pictures and videos during her stay. Thank you so much for taking great care of our pup! Will definitely book again in the future 😊”
“Shruti and her husband boarded our fur baby for the first time this week. Charli (our fur baby) had an amazing time with them and the other dogs. I received daily updates and pictures from Shruti. Their place is spacious and has a great backyard. Will definitely use them again! Shruti was very professional and prepared us well for Charli’s stay. Thank you Shruti!”
“"My pet Rocky says "I had a great experience" 🥰, The facility is well-maintained, and the Nupur and family are professional and caring. A special shoutout to Nupur, who went above and beyond to understand my dog's specific needs. Her friendly and attentive nature made me feel confident that my dog was in good hands. I highly recommend this facility for anyone looking for a safe and comfortable place for their furry friends!"”
“Stephen watched my dog Zuko for the second time and my other dog nori for the first! He updated me with photos and we had a great meet and greet. He’s definitely my go to dog sitter when I know I’m going to be out of town.”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old, and own a small maltipoodle who loves to go on walk and meet people. I can provide excellent care for all pet breeds of different sizes. I love to spend time with all types of pets, and have been taking care of pets for 4 total years. Your pet will have a great, comfortable, and fun stay with me! I’m currently a sitter on Rover and would manage the care of pets throughout the day. I also regularly go to local libraries and I am able to tend to the care of pets when necessary. I would be able care for pets overnight as well as take them on walks as it fits into the routine of caring for personal pets. I am able to care for pets utilizing the experience that I have cultivated with my own dog. I regularly walk and feed a miniature dog and can supervise another pet and take them on bathroom breaks. Throughout the day, I can care for another pet within the house and also allow them to stay within the backyard. I could send updates and fulfill requests of owners to provide fresh water, treats, or preparing meals.
“I usually have a hard time leaving my dog at any boarding services, but Cindy made it so easy. She went above and beyond with regular updates, messages, and photos that showed my dog was happy, safe, and well cared for. Her communication was excellent and her genuine love for animals really came through. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands. Highly recommend to anyone looking for trustworthy, compassionate pet care!”
