“Our dog Finn loved Shardae!! It was our first time leaving him and Shardae gave him the attention and love he needed. Also, she was very fast to respond to our request, asking questions, and giving me the opportunity to ask questions, to make sure she was a good fit for Finn. I will definitely call Shardae next time we leave town. Big Thanks!!”
“Beverly was a wonderful sitter for our dog, Mikey! She was communicative, sent videos, and took great care while we were away for a week. As a bonus, our dog became best friends with hers – and played the whole time! We’ll definitely be back.”
“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!!”
“Angela is an amazing at caring for our skittish doggie, and she is even flexible enough to accommodate drop ins for our kitties! Can't rave enough about how good she is. She takes time to get our fur babies acclimated to things, is very patient, provides daily updates and even a "Pawgress Report" for us when the booking is complete! Simply awesome! 😃”
“Jenny and her husband did amazing taking care of our Beaux!! We really enjoyed the updates and beautiful pics of our pup. I can tell she had a really great time that she even made sure to say bye before leaving. She even came home with a cute bandana 🥹 I would definitely let Beaux stay with them again. Thank you so much!!”
“Krissy is fantastic! We were impressed by her ability to help our Murphy von Peanut, Corgi Extraordinaire (1.5 years old) feel at home while watching multiple other dogs. Being a corgi, Murphy has a lot of energy and lives for human attention. Krissy kept her engaged and entertained the entire 2+ weeks we were away. Murphy gets along fine with other dogs, but she can bark a lot at first which may concern some sitters. Krissy was unfazed and made sure Murphy was happy and comfortable around the other pups. We were happy to receive group photos and videos of Murphy playing with the other dogs. Krissy was also happy to honor our requests, such as giving Murphy regular dental chews and following her dietary restrictions. Finally, we felt Krissy cared for Murphy as though she were her own dog. The last time we went on a long trip, Murphy looked a little sad by the end. This time, with Krissy, she consistently looked happy. Additionally, Murphy had some burns on her paws from the hot sidewalk when we dropped her off. Krissy must have treated them throughout the trip because some of the ointment we provided was gone and they were fully healed by the time we got back. We would 100% recommend Krissy and are thankful that Murphy got the chance to stay with her.”
“As usual, Jami & Frances were fantastic! My dog Murphy is pretty much a regular with them. They love him and treat him like family every time he stays with them. Communication is always clear and timely and I couldn't ask for a better sitter. They are simply wonderful.”
“Kyle is our go to guy to watch our dog. He’s reliable, easy going and trustworthy! It’s reassuring to know that our dog is in good hands when my husband & I are traveling.”
“I can tell Sheila loved and cared for my dog as if he was her own. He had a great time staying with her and her family and I would definitely book with her again”
“Emily and her dog Maple were great at taking care of my dog, Leo! He loved playing with Maple. She was also super accommodating on some scheduling changes for drop off and pickup times for boarding. Would definitely recommend using her for daycare and boarding.”
“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!!”
“April is such an attentive person. She takes great care of our dog every trip and sends plenty of updates with photos. He also comes home happy and playful, which shows me he’s been playing all week. Thanks again for another great stay!!”
“Jess and Max took the best care of our pup! We loved getting pictures and felt like she was in great hands! Would definitely recommend and hope to use their services again.”
“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!!!”
“Birgitta, her husband and son provided Scully with a great weekend away from home! Consistent updates in the form of photos and quick messages on their activities for the day helped us be very comfortable that Scully was being well taken care of. I would recommend Birgitta to anyone looking for great pet care, and will certainly be booking her in the future!”

“Indra did an amazing job dropping in to check on out pets during our trip. She was prompt, reliable, and communicative. She took extra care giving out pets the type of attention they like, and shared great pictures and videos with us daily. Would highly recommend.”
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 :)
“Esmeralda was amazing with our girl Amilia. Kept us updated throughout the day with all the pictures and was so easy to communicate with. Looking forward to rebooking with her again soon and HIGHLY recommend!”
“Maggie was wonderful! She was responsive and very thorough in the beginning process. She came to meet and spend time with my cats ahead of time, which was very helpful! She’s mindful of preferences and any current routines and was responsive when I was away including sending updates at the beginning and end of the day. I highly recommend and would book her again. Thank you, Maggie!”
“Kendra is a great care giver and exceeded my expectations. She spent some some time with each of my three cats offering them patience as they got used to her visits. She was thorough in their feeding and box maintenance. Her photos and videos during each visit were great and really helped me to enjoy my time away as I knew my cats were in excellent care. Thank you!!”
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've been surrounded by dogs and cats my whole life and have spent years caring for them. My neighbors and friends have trusted me to feed, walk, and play with their pets. I simply want to make sure your pets feel as happy and as comfortable as possible. I'm available throughout the week and on weekends since I am a university student and I am currently on summer break, so I have plenty of time on my hands. Whether I'm popping in for a quick walk or feed, or staying overnight to house sit, my goal is to keep your pet's routine as normal as possible. I'll make sure they get plenty of play, love, and anything they may need.
“Lipika was the greatest. What piece of mind I had on my trip. This service is so worth it. The pictures and comment go a long way. Last time I asked a friend and I didn’t feel the care that Lipika had. Thank you for great people like her and I will book again for my upcoming trip in June and September!”
“Caitlin goes above and beyond--by far the best Rover experience I've had. She is friendly with all pets and even got our shy one to warm up! Caitlin will be our go-to pet sitter any time we're out of town.”
“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”
About: Hello, my name is Daya. And yes, my headline is correct “Helping cats love dogs”. Thankfully, I have owned my cats eight years and hopefully more to go. When my cats met my dogs. I didn’t want my cats to be stressed out. I wanted to make sure that they feel comfortable on being around a huge puppy. My cats rule my home so they are the kings of the house hahaha. I have an orange tabby that sometimes doesn’t like my dogs to be inside of our room. But I make sure that they know that their siblings. I shower my cats every six months as they are indoor and outdoor and make sure that they have their flea medication and up-to-date vaccines because again they are indoor and outdoor. I know that cats naturally groomed themselves, but it’s for the health of my babies. Thankfully, as I did experience on trying to become a veterinarian technician. I learned a lot from school, even though I didn’t finish. Now that doesn’t mean I stopped trying to learn on animal behavior. I am a dog trainer at PetSmart. I’ve been working as a dog trainer for six years to help. Dogs can also be kind to cats. I know Cats can be feisty. At Petsmart I am also a dog bather and help out my manager on grooming, cats as well. I’m here to help.
“Birgitta made all visits including checking robot litter box, auto feeders, and water. She kept close contact and provided status updates on the rover.com app. We arrived home early and was able to help with the final 8th day feeding without issues. The cat looked great. Thanks for taking good care for 'Nile.'”
About: I have ample experience caring for other families dogs, as well as my own three who have now passed. I have been a trusted caregiver for pets for over 10 years, including overnight stays and drop-ins. I will care for your dog/cat as if they are my own family’s pets. I am currently not working after graduating College, so pet-sitting fits perfectly into my schedule. I have a fully open schedule, and am ready to care for your sweet fur babies! I care for pets in my home, or a clients home, the way that I would care for my own pets. This care is full of love, compassion, energy and excitement.
“Eva was great to work with and took good care of my two cats! She was super easy to communicate with and very helpful. Did everything I asked for and more, plus sent lots of pictures. Would definitely recommend and will go to her first the next time we are out of town!”

“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.”
About: Last year we said goodbye to our thirty pound poodle mix after 17 amazing years. Our kids, ages 15, 12, 9, and 5 have had a dog in the home all their lives and while we aren't ready to get a new dog just yet we would love to take care of yours! My husband Liam, always had dogs in his family’s house growing up. We have a spacious home and fenced back yard in a quiet Hawthorne neighborhood close to LAX. It’s easy for us to let the dogs out back throughout the day and to go for frequent walks around the block. We used Rover for our own dog so we know how great it feels to know that your pup is being taken care of like family while you are away. Poodles, poodle mixes, and smaller dogs are preferred but there’s always exceptions. My husband Liam, and I both work from home so there's always an adult around to make sure the dogs are taking care of. We live in a quiet neighborhood that's easy to take the dogs on walks. And with our backyard we can let the dogs out for frequent bathroom breaks if needed. We have a completely fenced in back yard that our dog loved in his time here. Our older children are at school or activities for most of the day so the dogs will generally have the run of the house.
“Marilyn showed us the area where our dog would be while in her care. She was sweet and excited to meet Kona. We’re extremely grateful that she was able to care for our pup at such unconventional hours! Thank you for your patience and excellent communication!”
“Kyle was wonderful from start to finish! He took his time to speak to us about his past experiences and how he sets up his home to properly care for the dogs Kyle was prompt at every pick up in the mornings and set us several photos during Kona’s stay with him. Thank you, Kyle!!”
“Noreen was great with my pup calypso. She was super tired when she got home. I was so happy she slept through the whole night! She ensured calypso got lots of play time and cuddles.”
“Everything about Cassie's stay was great! She was worn out when i picked her up, which was exactly what i wanted! She played with Joey and Dixie all day long and had a great time. Harley was very diligent with pictures and communication and made sure i knew everything that was going on with my puppy throughout the day. Excellent stay and highly recommended!”
About: I’ve been caring for friends’ and family’s pets for years, and it’s become one of my favorite things to do. I’m the person everyone calls when they need someone they truly trust and the biggest compliment I get is that their pets don’t want to go home when vacation ends! I’ve cared for all kinds of personalities, from energetic pups who love outdoor time to cozy cuddle-bugs who just want companionship and a soft place to snooze. I’m attentive, patient, and always prioritize keeping pets happy, relaxed, and loved while their families are away. I also live very close to LAX which is convenient if you need to drop your dog while you’re away. I also have a large fenced in backyard that dogs absolutely love. I work from home part-time, so caring for pets blends perfectly into my daily life. I love having furry company during the day and can give frequent attention — whether that's walks, play breaks, or extra cuddle sessions. Your pet won’t be left waiting; they’ll be part of my daily routine and treated like family. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a secure, pet-friendly environment with constant supervision and a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time. I take care to follow your pet’s routine and needs closely, and I treat every animal with the same level of attention and respect as I do my own. You can feel confident knowing your pet is in a safe, caring, and trustworthy home.
“Leslie has helped me so much by taking care of Jupiter! Very responsive, flexible on time, and most importantly took the time to make sure that my dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved in a big environment while I’m at work. I’m a repeating, and happy customer that will highly recommend Leslie!”

“After our longtime dog walker notified us that they were moving, my husband and I scrambled to find someone trustworthy and reliable to help walk our dog. We were apprehensive initially because she does have a physical disability, but decided to reach out to Aileen after hearing positive review from another neighbor. Aileen has been wonderful with our pup! She is kind, communicative, and gives great updates of our pup and we will continue to use her services.”
“Indra was beyond incredible. She clearly loves animals and went above and beyond taking care of my pet. From spending extra time, coming extra days, and taking really long walks. She is attentive, responsive, and kind. I give her my highest recommendation.”

About: My whole life I’ve been around animals. I used to own 2 dogs and would foster street animals. I would volunteer at an animal shelter to gain more proper animal care, I was a groomer to learn animal behavior, and back to college I’ve gained animal experience for all different sizes of animals. Not only this but I go to my friends house weekly to play with their dogs and play with them During this summer I am attending school but only have 2 classes from 8am-3pm. Afterward I am trying to gain any opportunities that will help me grow my resume and animal experience. I am a huge pet person and prefer to spend my time caring and giving attention to the pet. I am very cautious of my surroundings
“Bradley and Greta LOVE Jared. We hired him to give them a mid-day break/walk while we were unavailable and he gave them so much more than we were hoping for! He not only took them on a 30+ walk around Green Lake, but he also took them to the dog park to ensure our pups were nice and tired before returning them home. Even though it was only a walk, he gave updates about his arrival/departure times, what they were doing, and how the dogs were. Our dogs were super happy and exhausted when we returned, so we know they're looking forward to seeing Jared again. We plan to use Jared for both our dog walking and house sitting needs in the future. He's our favorite sitter so far!”

I'll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and consistent care while you're away. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special needs before every booking. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any specific requests you have. My goal is to make every pet feel like they're with family.
“Kate is amazing! We couldn’t be happier with the care she provides for our dogs. From day one she’s been reliable, communicative, and genuinely invested in getting to know each of them and their personalities. She sends great updates, photos, and always makes sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and love. Our dogs are always excited to see her, and it gives us total peace of mind knowing they’re in such great hands. If you’re looking for someone you can fully trust with your pups, Kate is the one. Highly recommend! 🐶💛”
About: I began dog sitting a couple of years ago for the families I babysat for. When they would go out of town I would bring my furry friends home with me. I’ve always enjoyed taking them to the nearby parks and beaches around me. When they stay with me they are taken care for and treated like family. I work full time but I’m free on the weekends and occasionally on Fridays. My availability is mainly on the weekends since I am home. When I bring them home with me I like to have their bed and food set up in my living room. I have a back yard where they can hang out as well. I like to keep them in their routine and walk them frequently so they’re not inside all day. I try to do the same even if they stay in their home. I will check in as often as I can and will take them on longer walks when they stay in their home since I am not there the whole day as I would be in my own home.
“Patricia did a great job walking Patches and spent quality time with her. We felt at ease knowing our fur baby was well taken care off. We will definitely use her again! Five stars for you!????”
“I broke my toe and my fiancé had to go to work. Jay was amazing. He took my dog out on two walks today and then I had an emergency and contacted him and he was able to accommodate a last min walk. Jay is a total life saver. Thank you!”
About: Hello, my name is Daya. I’ve been working with animals, technically my entire life and I know that’s what you typically read.. when I was younger I had roosters, chickens, guinea pigs, rabbit, lizards, and birds. I was seeking to becoming a veterinarian technician, but I know that wasn’t my real passion. I became a Dog trainer, now for 6 years. I have been working with reactive dogs (aggressive) and the reason why I say reactive is because our dogs react towards something that makes our dogs look aggressive or probably are. I make sure as a Dog Trainer and the pet parent have a clear understanding what we need to do to help out our dogs. The training I do is obedience. I came to Rover to help out pet parents in need and not just with training but to also care for your furry friend when you're at work. Not only am I a Dog trainer, but I’m also a dog bather at my job. So, I don’t just train dogs. I make sure they are groomed well and again I just bathe. I Do Not cut hair. I want to make sure that our furry friends are clean and healthy so when they are in our home or it’s summer, they feel fresh and fine. I am also a pet parent myself. I have two cats and two dogs of my own. In the picture that you see on Rover, I am Daya the person on the right side. Every day I need to make sure that my babies are fed and well. As myself I do have and work a full-time job, thankfully. I exercise my dogs and cats before I head to work to make sure they move around before I head to work because I know they’re probably just waiting for me to come home.
About: Dogs and cats trainer. I know how hard it is to leave the love of your life. But for those moments, I'm here to help. I work fully remote. I study in the afternoon for my masters which for the next couple months until graduation will limit my type of services. Although anything can be coordinated upon request. Your pet will have its own bedroom unless cuddles are required. Parks are available around my place to go for a good walk. Building is petfriendly.
About: I have 3 dogs and 2 cats of my own, each one of them are rescues and required a lot of time and patience. I’m experienced in dog trading as well as administering medication. It helps me stay active as well as helps gain more experience with animals. I work from home so it helps me get my daily vitamin d . I’ve personally crate trained my dogs, it’s helped me monitor them while I’m not home. I like to take them on long walks and have play dates to get their energy out as well as stimulate their mind.
About: I’ve cared for dogs for most of my life and have had my own dog since I was 10 years old, which helped me become aware of the responsibility, consistency, and attention that pet care requires. Through daily routines like feeding, walking, bathing, playtime, and providing companionship, I’ve developed a strong understanding of dogs’ needs and behaviors. I also regularly help care for my sister’s dog multiple times a week, assisting with walks, feeding, supervision, and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely enjoy creating a positive and loving environment for every pet in my care. Available most days after 11:00 AM and unavailable on Mondays. Prefer to accept bookings within the same area to provide reliable scheduling, consistent availability, and attentive care for each dog. I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment for every pet in my care. I make sure pets stay on their normal routines as much as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. I pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, and overall comfort to ensure pets feel secure and well cared for. I also use positive reinforcement by providing treats for good behavior and encouraging healthy habits during walks and visits. At the same time, I stay firm with boundaries and avoid rewarding unwanted behavior to help maintain consistency and structure. In a client’s home, I respect the space, maintain cleanliness, and provide attentive supervision while giving pets companionship and consistency. During walks and visits, I focus on safety by keeping pets secure, avoiding unsafe situations, and making sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care.
About: In 2012 I got my little Yorkie Paisley from a place called Puppy Town. Over the years me and Paisley has grown close and she has become my best friend. Within a few days, I had housebroken her, at first she didn’t know how to walk on a leash, but was practice and patience, she became a master of walking on a leash to the point that she enjoys walking. Although Paisley does not enjoy baths, I do give baths and it brings me joy to see her fresh and clean I have to brush her every day to maintain that beautiful golden coat. I’m afraid to clip her nails so I will take her to Banfield hospital to get her nails clipped. Over the years Paisley became older, and her eye sight has declined, so every morning I have to take the time to take her to her food. She knows where the bathroom is at, but sometimes she’ll have accidents and I have to be patient with her and I have to clean up her accidents and I have to keep an eye on her at all times to make sure she doesn’t hurt herself. Her food and water is still in the same place however, I had to rearrange some furniture and things to make it easier for her to get around… Every summer, I will purchase flea and tick protection, cause I can’t have no pests bothering my baby! Paisley is my best friend and even though she can’t see me anymore, she can sense when I’m there and still wants to cuddle up under me. I’m a landscape photographer, so I do do work in the golden hours however, I’ll be available to watch your best friend Monday through Friday in the early mornings 6am -5pm and also I can watch your furry friend in the evenings 7pm - 12am Weekends 6am - 5pm. Was Paisley I get up sometimes she sleeps but if she is up, she will automatically go to the bathroom when she’s done in the bathroom. I will take her to her bowls. I will feed her while she’s eating. I will clean up what it’s called a wee wee pad I live in an apartment and my room is pet friendly so your fur baby will have toys and also they will have water as well, in the kitchen is where I have their food so they will have access to food and water in the kitchen. Also, I live by a local park so your fur baby will never have to worry about being bored because I will take on walks to the park. Your fur baby will never be bored with me. We will go to the park, play with toys ,and I believe fur babies should always be indoors with a watchful eye.

“Our dog Finn loved Shardae!! It was our first time leaving him and Shardae gave him the attention and love he needed. Also, she was very fast to respond to our request, asking questions, and giving me the opportunity to ask questions, to make sure she was a good fit for Finn. I will definitely call Shardae next time we leave town. Big Thanks!!”
“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!!”

“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!!!”
“Birgitta, her husband and son provided Scully with a great weekend away from home! Consistent updates in the form of photos and quick messages on their activities for the day helped us be very comfortable that Scully was being well taken care of. I would recommend Birgitta to anyone looking for great pet care, and will certainly be booking her in the future!”
“Harley is the absolute best! Muddy loves staying at her house and comes home exhausted every time. I trust her to not only take great care of him, but send me updates and match Muddy with other compatible dogs so he’s comfortable and plays until he drops! I don’t know what we would do without her :)”
“Wow, 10/10 and I don’t ever want to leave my dog with anybody else. I’ve never seen my dog more happy or relaxed coming back from a sitter! Shiyibin and her parents played with her, walked with her cuddled her and sent me so many updates without me even asking. We love love love them, hearts are full and happy. Already booked our next sit ❤️”
“Lucero took wonderful care of my dog and gave her so much love and attention while I was away. They played together, went on multiple park outings, and Lucero even brushed her and spoiled her with treats. It was clear my pup felt happy, safe, and cared for the entire time. Lucero is incredibly kind, thoughtful, and trustworthy — your dog will absolutely be in the best hands with her!”
“Janae and Damazhe were fantastic! They were very patient with my nervous pup and took great care of her through the stress of 4th of July fireworks. Their place has a great private yard. I would absolutely recommend if you’re looking for a dog sitter.”
“Mindy was waiting outside for us to take Bandit in. She sent many photos of him playing in the backyard with other dogs and napping. We think he had a fun time at her house and would leave him there again in the future.”
“Ryan is always great with my pup. He gets crazy excited when we pull up to Ryan’s house and he sees Ryan waiting for us, that confirms for me that Ryan is great to him. Then again, maybe I should say he’s awful to ensure he’s always available when I need him 🤣”
“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!”
“Brandie was a life saver and accommodated my pup last minute. Without preparation she helped her feel comfortable in her home immoderately. Sent good pics and updates, I would book 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!”
“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! 🐶🫶🏽”
About: I grew up with lots of dogs, cats, horses etc in the English countryside! My dad was a farmer so I’ve always been around animals. I’m yet to get my own dog, but i’ve always looked after friends dogs when they go away or I’m always on hand if they need a walk in the daytime! I absolutely love dogs (and all animals), and cannot wait to get to know yours :) My work schedule is very flexible, I work part time and from home so my schedule can very much fit around looking after your dog! I live in a spacious 2 bed with a large balcony! My apartment is 1 minute walk from the strand where I can easily walk your furry friend whenever needed :)
“Candice was absolutely amazing with my pup Luca! He came home happy, relaxed, and maybe even a little bummed to leave. She sent the sweetest updates and clearly treated him like her own. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind and trustworthy sitter!”
