“Took great care of my dog. Was finding a sitter last minute and she was able to take my pup in thankfully. Would sent photos of my pup to make sure he was doing good and he seemed pretty. Would book again”
“Beverly was great! Super responsive. She clearly loves dogs and seems to have a great relationship with all the dogs in her care. I love how welcoming her home is to her furry visitors. Our dog is a senior pup who has a few age-related issues, and Beverly was fantastic with him. I will continue to utilize her when needed as peace-of-mind when I’m out of town is hugely important :)”
“This is my first time getting a dog sitter and Jenny really set the standard. She was very sweet to my dog. She even gave my dog Zoey a bandana that really added cuteness. I also wanna thank her for providing Zoey wet food coz i was not able to prepare a wet food in my dog’s bag. She really took good care of my dog. I appreciate that she sent pictures a lot and updating me. She is highly recommendable and I will be a repeat client of her in the future.”
“Our experience with Ms. Jami and her mom was WONDERFUL. Our doggy Yoddah acclimated to her and her welcoming home immediately at our meet and greet. Jami was assuring, VERY nice and accommodating to our extended need for dog sitting! Jami sent pictures and a video showing Yoddah comfortable and happy! Our dog was pampered and enjoyed his stay. We will definitely be rebooking in the near future. We wish we could give 10 ⭐️'s❣️ Highly recommended. -theBookmans”
“Emily was such a great pet sitter for my dog! She sent me updates with photos/vids daily which definitely eased my worries of leaving my senior dog with someone. I knew she was in great hands. Emily was also great at making sure Cleo had her daily walks and her regular schedule. She is a true gem and I'm so glad I found her (also in such close proximity) and would highly recommend her and use her for a future stay! :) thanks again Emily!”
“Sherry and her husband Andreas took such good care of my baby. He was a little anxious the first night but they were so patient with him. I will definitely use them again. Thank you so much for such a great experience.”
“It’s my very first time looking for a pet sitter because I’m always so anxious about leaving my dogs with people that I don’t know but I can’t thank Stephanie enough for taking care of my puppies! It was a great experience, my dogs had fun, played with other dogs and she was so accommodating to their needs and also to my last minute changes! I was getting daily updates and pictures too! I was comfortable because she has so many years of experience and a lot of good reviews! I can fully recommend her and I would definitely be happy to bring my dogs again! Thank you so much!!!”
“Krissy took great care of my special needs pug. I felt at ease leaving Kevin in her care. She was very communicative at sent videos of Kevin throughout his stay. Thank you ?”
“We left our senior dog with Annie and Kina for 2 weeks while out of country. Annie is super responsive, smart and so sweet. She sent pics everyday, took him out (with our permission), and gave us updates. She handles senior dogs w health issues and on a medical routine very well. We’d definitely recommend Annie!!”
“Excellent job looking after Bella and providing several updates throughout the day as per my request. I always feel comfortable and relaxed knowing Bella is being looked after really well with John and Miyabi. Thank you both! 🐶🫶🏽”

“Leaving your loved one to a complete stranger is not very easy. It is a terrible feeling. So you look, read the reviews and hope for the best. Now...you are reading this review so you must be needing someone to take care of your baby. Look no further. Haley is the best. Haley took care of my frenchie for 4 days and 4 nights. She sent me daily photos and communicated with me any concern or questions she had. Looks like my grandfur kid found a new home. Thank you Haley!”
“My sweet Coco needed boarding and Tian was such an amazing host for her! He was so communicative and sent me pictures and videos throughout the night and day until pick up time, and he was very responsive to my texts, which made me feel at ease and I loved getting updates on Coco’s day. Tian is absolutely someone I would recommend, and will definitely be my go-to going forward! 😊”
“we absolutely loved having our Bean stay with Sheila! she was patient with him as he adjusted to staying with someone new since he does have some anxiety. she spoiled him with boiled chicken, cheese, and lots of love. Sheila treated our dog like he was her own 🥰”
“My puppy had a great time with Jane and her son! Varian stayed with them for a one week vacation and kept me updated with pictures. He has fun with the other dogs and made friends so when I picked him up he was kind of sad to leave! I left notes on how he eats too fast and has a sensitive stomach so they took care of that very well! Thank you so much ? I will definetly come back again”

“Aileen was great! She even got my notoriously shy cat to come down stairs and play a bit. I also loved the photos she sent at the end of the visit. (I even made one my lock screen lol) Would recommend!”
About: I grew up with cats and understand their unique personalities and needs. I respect their independence and understand their body language. I know when to give them space, never force interaction, and I allow them to warm up to me at their own pace. I’ve included a photo of 'Mr. Cat", who I fostered for a few months. He now goes by Theodore and is living his best life. A funny story—he had this little toy mouse, and I I would throw it and he would run back, retrieving it and setting it down in front of me. He literally played fetch, which was insane. But he was a very unique cat, and each cat has their own personality. I’m excited to get to know who your cat is.
About: We’re a family of two and proud cat parents to our two beloved 10-year-old cats. Animals have always been an important part of our lives, and we understand how much love, care, and attention every cat deserves. I’ve been caring for cats since I was 10 years old and have more than 30 years of experience as a cat owner. Over the years, I’ve cared for cats with a wide range of personalities, needs, and temperaments, and have developed a deep appreciation for cats of every breed and age. Because I work from home, I’m able to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. Whether your cat enjoys playtime, affection, quiet company, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for during their stay. Our home is clean, quiet, smoke-free, and occupied only by my wife and me, creating a calm and stress-free environment for your cat. For safety and comfort, guest cats stay in their own private room, separate from our cats unless otherwise requested. Your cat will receive: • A private room for a peaceful and secure stay • Fresh food and water provided daily • Litter box cleaning and waste removal 3 times per day • Comfortable bedding, fan, and cozy resting areas • Daily monitoring, attention, and companionship • A clean, tidy, and loving home environment We know how important it is to have peace of mind when leaving your cat in someone else’s care. Our goal is to treat every cat like family and provide the same level of love, patience, and attention that we give our own. We look forward to meeting you and your feline family member! 🐾💕
About: I have grown up around cats my entire life! I am very familiar with different cat personalities and behaviors, from shy, independent cats to more social, playful ones. I currently have my own cat (her name is Miso☺️), which I’ve been fully caring for on my own for the past year, including feeding, litter care, playtime, and all the little daily routines that keep them happy and healthy. Over the years, I’ve also cat sat many times for friends and family. I’ve helped with everything from quick check-ins to longer visits, making sure their cats feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. While I’m not formally “professional” yet, I’m very responsible, gentle, and genuinely love being around cats. I always try to make sure they feel calm, safe, and cared for like they’re my own :)
About: I’ve always loved cats and understand that every cat has a unique personality. Whether your cat is playful and social or shy and independent, I’ll provide patient, attentive care while respecting their routine and comfort level. I’m comfortable feeding, cleaning litter boxes, playing with cats, providing companionship, and administering oral medications according to your or your veterinarian’s instructions. I also have experience caring for senior pets, so I understand the importance of being gentle, observant, and following detailed care instructions. I’m reliable, communicative, and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your cat feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for until you return.
“Ashley was able to take care of our 3 cats last minute. She was quick to respond and super nice. She made sure the cats had everything they needed for the weekend and sent updates with pictures. We’d definitely book with her again!”
About: Hi everyone my name is Angie and I may be new to Rover but I am not new to loving and caring for precious pups. I currently don't have any dogs living with me but prior to July 2025 I had my own fur babies since 1992. I decided this would be a wonderful way for me to get some puppy love, bring peace of mind to traveling pet parents, and make some money while providing a loving service. I have taken care of many of my friends pups along the way. Saki, Sophie, Sushi, Bodhi, Lucy, and Honey. I also occasionally foster dogs to help my friend's rescue. I would love to meet and care for your babies. My home is a safe and loving space for pups to play and have their "stay-cation"!! I work from home and will be available to be with the pet pretty much all day. Consistent time outdoors will be provided weather permitting. I have a fenced yard with plenty of room to play or grab that nice patch of sunshine to nap in. I maintain a clean and calm environment.
About: I have a senior dog of my own and treat her like my own child. I make sure to give the dogs I care for stimulating activities, essential exercise, time outside to ground themselves in the grass, frequent potty breaks, and a healthy and nutritious diet. Given their short lifetime and unconditional love, I believe they deserve to live a fulfilling life and provide that for any pet I take care of. I am able to accommodate requests, but please ask with reasonable notice preferably in advance. The weekends are most flexible and some holidays may vary. Maintaining the pet's regular schedule for feeding, exercise, and playtime helps them feel secure and comfortable in their familiar environment. Engaging pets in stimulating activities and providing a cozy space with their favorite toys ensures mental and physical well-being. Consistent updates to the client, including photos and messages, offer reassurance and peace of mind. Delivering attentive and affectionate care, along with respecting the client's home, creates a positive and loving experience for both the pet and the client.
“Liz did an excellent job following my litany of instructions for a week long house sitting. She had a 100% success rate with insulin injections on my diabetic cat. Very happy and will book her again for another vacation”
“"I can’t recommend Leiah enough! She is professional, down-to-earth, friendly, and an excellent communicator. From our meet and greet, it was clear she truly loves dogs and knows how to engage with them. She is punctual and provides great updates (and awesome photos!) which gives me total peace of mind while I’m away. If you're looking for someone trustworthy who will treat your dog like her own, Leiah’s the needle in the haystack you are looking for!"”
About: I’ve had many pets since I was a child, from cats to chinchillas! Cared for puppies to senior doggos and love them all the same. I own a boba cafe that doesn’t require me to be there from day to day so I have time to look after your fur children. Plenty of love and attention for those that need it. If yours likes to do its own thing that’s no problem as well but will still show love!
About: I’ve had cats for over 11 years! I have had experience with cats of all ages, from kittens to older cats. From a young age I have always loved cats and was even the one feeding the strays around the neighborhood. I give the flee medicine to our cats every month and have assisted with cleaning the litter and, if necessary bathing the cats.
“Thank you Keeley for providing excellent care for Compton. Your ability to connect so easily with him was so amazing. Thank you so much we really appreciate you. Compton says ?.

About: Hi! My name is Maimu. When I lived in Japan, I always had dogs and cats as pets, so caring for them feels very natural to me. I provide calm, attentive care and follow your pet’s routine closely—feeding, fresh water, playtime, walks, and regular potty breaks. I’ll keep your home tidy and communicate clearly, with photo updates so you feel at ease while you’re away. My availability for walks is currently mainly: * Morning: 6:30 AM–8:00 AM * Evening: 5:00 PM–7:00 PM On some days, I may also be available during the day—please send me a message and I’ll let you know my availability. My schedule can vary depending on childcare, so please contact me in advance to confirm dates and times. Safety is my top priority, and I always supervise interactions and follow your instructions carefully. I can also run with your dog, so jogs/runs are very welcome! I know it can be stressful to trust someone else with a beloved dog or cat—they’re family. I take time to build trust with both you and your pet, and I’ll do my very best to provide thoughtful, individualized care. Pet care works well with my weekly routine because I organize my schedule around visits and walks. I’m currently available from 6:30–8:00 AM and 3:30–7:00 PM, and I always do my best to reply promptly. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I carefully follow your instructions and your pet’s routine, and I keep doors and gates secure. I always use a leash outdoors unless you tell me otherwise, avoid risky situations, and monitor body language for stress. In your home, I keep the space clean and tidy, refresh food and water, and send photo updates. If anything seems unusual, I contact you right away.

“Shardae was really a pro in taking care of our precious Tasha! There’s a magic on her that even my dog is so much attached to me and my husband she just went straight to Shardae without looking on us. She feels like it’s going to be great day even without us. When we pick her up I know she had a fantastic day because she just sit quietly in the car and nap. So calm and happy baby. Thank you Shardae! You’ll be our go to when we go back to LA area.”
“John and Miyabi were great sitters for my 1.5 year old pup! They communicate well, kept me updated during the stay and were extremely friendly to Affy. Thank you guys for taking care of him!”
“If you’re in need of someone to care for your dog, Alice is the person I trust the most! She is my go-to sitter whenever I’m out for a day or an entire vacation. In August, she took him in for 3 weeks while I was in the Philippines and as much as I missed him, I knew he was in wonderful hands! She’s caring and attentive. I really appreciated the updates she would send. In his most recent stay, she babysat for a day and I never had to worry! Again, if you’re looking for someone you can trust, it’s Alice!”

About: I was a dog owner for 15 years; she passed away about 3 years ago. Her beds are so big and comfy I didn't want to throw them away. I had proclaimed this to be a forever dog home! Since then, I began dog sitting for friends from my church. I knew if a dog came over, I would want it to be comfortable. I enjoy learning each dog's personality and needs because all dogs are different. My friend's dog doesn't like to be pet but loves to sit next to me. I learned that different dogs have different needs and wants. I enjoy spending quality time with dogs through walks, companionship, and learning each dog's unique personality and needs. Some dogs love affection while others prefer quiet company, and I respect and adjust to what makes each dog most comfortable. Dog sitting allows me to provide attentive, loving care while giving dogs a calm and supportive environment. I am working but I make my own schedule. I would take care of your baby just like my own, We would go for a walk at least twice a day. Ill feed once or twice a day, depending on instructions. My mom {Frances} lives right next door, and she is my emergency contact. She loves dogs too. She is a great help if I need to step out for a minute. I do enjoy seeing the dog happy and comfortable, the rest of the day will consist of making that happen. Your pet will get a one on one experience. I will care your pet just like I would do my own. Again, a home away from home. When I wake up in the morning the first thing I do is take my fur buddy outside. Next is breakfast and play time if it's preferred. I look for direction from the owner on specific things to know and look for to make my fur buddy comfortable. Safety is #1. Every decision is made with safety first in mind. Second is satisfaction for the pet and the owner.

I can tell he has plenty of experience dealing with this type of situation. Communication was easy and efficient with Kyle the entire time that I was at my function. I did check it quite often. Kyle was very responsive which I really appreciated because I was a little bit nervous seeing that my poor baby is very anxious.. We will see you again! Thank you.”

I make sure they have fresh water, plenty of exercise or playtime, affection based on their personality, and a clean space. I also pay close attention to their behavior and well-being and will keep you updated with photos and messages after each visit. My priority is to provide safe, dependable, and loving care so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Daniel took great care of Rue! She had such a good work out with every walk and made a new dog friend. Communication was consistent and detailed. Made a worried dog mom like myself, feel a lot better! Will definitely be rebooking in the future!”

About: Hi there! Animals have always been a huge part of my life. From a young age, I felt a special connection with them, and that passion eventually grew into a career dedicated to their health, safety, and well-being. I currently work remotely, full-time, for a nonprofit animal protection organization and have more than eight years of professional veterinary experience. I’ve worked in both a family-owned general practice and a specialty emergency animal hospital. As a companion animal owner myself, I understand how difficult it can be to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care. My goal is to make that experience as stress-free as possible for both you and your companion. Whether we’re going for a walk, enjoying playtime, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’ll make sure your companion receives the attention, safety, structure, and affection they deserve. ❤️ Because I work remotely, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to incorporate pet care into my daily routine. Outside of occasional errands, travel, or personal commitments, I am generally available for afternoon and evening drop-in visits throughout the week. I am also available for in-home pet sitting, which allows your companion animal(s) to remain in the environment where they feel most comfortable and secure. PLEASE NOTE, for in-home pet sitting that falls on weekdays (Mon–Fri): As mentioned above, I work remotely and will need WiFi access throughout the day while caring for your companion animal(s). To help protect your network security, I recommend providing me with a temporary or guest password. Whether you’re out of town overnight or away for a few weeks, I am available to provide house and pet sitting in the comfort of your home. I believe it’s often best for companion animals to remain in their familiar environment, where they can maintain their normal routines and feel safe, secure, and comfortable. While you’re away, I will provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to your pet’s individual needs. This includes feeding, fresh water, exercise, playtime, enrichment, medication administration if needed, and plenty of affection. I understand that trusting someone with both your companion animal(s) and your home is a big decision. You can expect clear communication, reliability, and regular updates, including photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your companion is safe and well cared for while you’re away.
About: My experiences with animals have ranged from puppies to horses growing up. And I have previously dog sat for family friends over the last few years. I’m currently enrolled in college online. So I am available most of the week while working early mornings typically. Mornings, afternoons, nights. You name it. I like to keep a regular schedule for the pets, and I always make sure I’m there for the pet parents and their furry friends.
About: First and foremost, thank you for taking time to read my profile. I can promise that I will give love to your friends. I even made cats do sit/shake/up. And of course, I enjoy training and having fun with the dogs, too! One thing I know is that dogs know and respond to LOVE. Discipline comes with love. And I enjoy time with the lovely ones. I am patient and if you would allow the privilege to take care of your friends, I have no doubt you will be pleased with my service. Currently located on South Bay area, can walk, play, and clean your friends. I believe that our friends are happy when we are happy. In your busy schedule I can help you relax so that you can live a happier, more fulfilling life !

“Took great care of my dog. Was finding a sitter last minute and she was able to take my pup in thankfully. Would sent photos of my pup to make sure he was doing good and he seemed pretty. Would book again”
“Emily was such a great pet sitter for my dog! She sent me updates with photos/vids daily which definitely eased my worries of leaving my senior dog with someone. I knew she was in great hands. Emily was also great at making sure Cleo had her daily walks and her regular schedule. She is a true gem and I'm so glad I found her (also in such close proximity) and would highly recommend her and use her for a future stay! :) thanks again Emily!”
“It’s my very first time looking for a pet sitter because I’m always so anxious about leaving my dogs with people that I don’t know but I can’t thank Stephanie enough for taking care of my puppies! It was a great experience, my dogs had fun, played with other dogs and she was so accommodating to their needs and also to my last minute changes! I was getting daily updates and pictures too! I was comfortable because she has so many years of experience and a lot of good reviews! I can fully recommend her and I would definitely be happy to bring my dogs again! Thank you so much!!!”
“We left our senior dog with Annie and Kina for 2 weeks while out of country. Annie is super responsive, smart and so sweet. She sent pics everyday, took him out (with our permission), and gave us updates. She handles senior dogs w health issues and on a medical routine very well. We’d definitely recommend Annie!!”
“Excellent job looking after Bella and providing several updates throughout the day as per my request. I always feel comfortable and relaxed knowing Bella is being looked after really well with John and Miyabi. Thank you both! 🐶🫶🏽”
“Christy was amazing!! She sent updates and pictures and our dog looked so happy throughout her stay. When we picked Sasha up she was happy and it was clear she had a great time with Christy! Would definitely have Sasha stay there again!!”
“Bethany and her family are fantastic! She has a great house environment with a yard and treated my dog like family. She sent daily updates and lots of pictures. She went above and beyond and kept onto my dog for several extra hours when I had a delayed flight. I would highly recommend and would definitely book again!”
“Marilyn is so professional and reliable, we are so happy to have found her. She took our dogs last minute and we have definitely found our fit! She has a very large yard which includes a huge portion of it dedicated for dogs which is separated by a fence, just what our furry friends needed, not to mention the care and individual attention that she provided. I would definitely recommend her, and I am sure we will be back. Thanks much Marilyn!!”
About: I’ve been officially pet sitting consistently since 2024 and have built my client base through word-of-mouth referrals and repeat bookings. I grew up with dogs but through petsitting, have experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, tortoises, betta fish, shrimp, and chameleons. Most of my experience is with overnight stays ranging from weekend trips to 1–2 week vacations. I’m detail-oriented, adaptable, and take pride in following care instructions closely while keeping owners updated with photos and messages throughout their trip. As a powerlifter and active person, I’m comfortable with both short and long walks and can keep up with high-energy & strong dogs. I work in-office during weekdays but am available mornings, evenings, overnights, and am fully flexible on weekends. My goal is simple: to make sure your pets feel safe and comfortable while giving you peace of mind when you’re away. I work in an office Monday through Friday, so I'm most flexible on weekends. For pets that are comfortable being home during the workday, I'm available for feeding, bathroom, and walks before work, in the evenings, overnight, and throughout the weekend. I am detail-oriented, adaptable, and take pride in following care instructions closely so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m flexible to either board your pet in my home, stay at your home whether for drop in visits or overnight stays, whatever you and your pet feel works best for their comfort. Prior to the stay, (my home or yours), we will go over your pet’s routine and your expectations to make sure this is a good fit before moving forward.
“April & Nathan were beyond expectations! Such a wonderful couple who really understand all types of dogs. They are so attentive, so patient, and so loving as people and dog sitters. My pup shadow is a reactive dog and tested their patience a few times and they remained calm cool and collected throughout the stay. They are unmatched in my opinion and I would bring shadow back to them a million times over. Couldn’t recommend them more!”
“I felt such a relief after meeting Stephanie when I had to go out of town two days after moving here. She kept me updated with photos of my sweet boy and he seemed so happy and comfortable with her. Will definitely be using her services again!”
“I recently had the pleasure of leaving my dog with Xenia, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Xenia was incredibly thoughtful in accommodating my dog’s schedule, ensuring a smooth and stress-free stay. Her own dogs were very friendly and welcoming, making my dog feel right at home. I highly recommend Xenia for anyone looking for a caring and considerate dog sitter.”
“Sylwia was amazing with Pico and Ziggy! She sent tons of updates of them playing and going on walks. They loved her large back yard! I’m sure they’re already looking forward to staying with her again sometime. Thank you again!”
“Melanie is a star rover! We’ve been using Rover for our two dogs for the past four years and she’s hands-down the best one we’ve met. She’s communicative & sends updates on the dogs regularly: what they did, how much they walked, if there was anything concerning that we needed to know of, etc. She even takes our dogs on neighborhood walks & pack hikes which is so amazing. They always come back tired & happy :) You can tell she loves what she does & has a lot of experience with animals! Our dogs barely want to come home after staying with her, they love hanging out with her & her family!”
“Elaine was very caring and attentive to Jura! Many pictures were sent to update during her stay and she gave me a detailed report on how she adjusted. I felt her attention to detail and care was excellent!”
“Lianna cared for my dog like her own. She kept me updated with pictures and videos throughout slinky’s visit and was very communicative throughout my dogs stay. Thank you Lianna for taking care of our pup 😁”
