“SaeWon was incredible and the whole experience was smooth and easy. She was able to accommodate on short notice after our initial sitter plans fell through, and I was super grateful for that. Initially I was worried about Soleil staying with other dogs, but to our surprise, she got along great with the other dogs and it seems like she had a great time. She also sent us pictures and videos of them on walks and it was the cutest thing. I will definitely let her watch my dog in the future and would highly recommend it to others, it was fantastic.”
“Annie and her husband are down to Earth people with gentle souls, we immediately felt welcomed into their spotless home. I just felt it in my heart that she was “the one” to care for our little Buddy a senior dog. I received daily email updates and the sweetest photos of our dog napping peacefully as well as a cute photo shoot commercial, yes a commercial shoot. We will definitely use Annie again, when we can’t take our dog on vacation with is. Peace of mind is priceless, thank you Annie for allowing us to enjoy our little getaway knowing that Buddy was being well cared for and safe. Will definitely rebook.”
“I cannot recommend Bennie and Jennie enough. We sent our two cats to stay with them and I have never been more satisfied with a cat sitter. Their space is very cat friendly, which my cats clearly loved for the many updates we received during their stay. One of our cats needed ear drops twice daily and they were amazing with this-giving them to her with seemingly minimal resistance based on the video and photo updates they sent for each medicine application time. It was clear the cats were comfortable and well taken care of during their stay. We will not hesitate to book again for the next time we need a cat sitter.”
“We had such a great experience! Kiryl took amazing care of our dog for the entire week and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dog was in such good hands. He was reliable, attentive, and clearly loves what he does. We wouldn't hesitate to book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. Thank you Kiryl!”
“Tucker loves going to Suman’s house! We get updates and pictures the whole time he’s there. There is great communication back and forth and she always responds quickly. She is very understanding and was able to get him in on short notice for us! Highly recommend❤️”
“Hazel was well taken care of by Doug! He was very flexible with our drop off and pick up times. She went on plenty of walks and slept well when she got back home. I will be using Doug in the future!”
“My wife and I booked with Banafshe for a long weekend trip, after our go-to dog sitter was unavailable. We are happy we did. Before the sit, Banafshe was courteous and timely in replying to our handful of messages with questions. She was gracious enough to allow us to bring Huxley over for a quick meetup with her and her lovely family), before the scheduled stay. Banafshe followed up with us the day of to confirm what time we would be dropping Huxley off. Unexpectedly, our pup had a tooth pulled prior to the boarding, and Banafshe was very helpful in ensuring Huxley received his medication (in his food). Throughout the time of the boarding she provided thoughtful updates and photos and was very responsive. She checked in with us to confirm when we would be picking up Huxley and made sure his items we left with her, were in his bag. 10/10. We would trust her and her family with our furbaby again and I highly recommend. 🥰”
“Wen was nothing short of amazing! We got update photos immediately and our pups who have pretty bad separation anxiety looked like they came back from vacation! She’s so on top of everything - medications, safety, play time and updates to us. Thank you so much! We will be using Wen in the future !”
“Rommel is wonderful. Our dog had a good time boarding at his place. He sent me daily video updates of our dog. Everything went smoothly. Because of him taking such a good care of our dog, we got to spend the long weekend enjoying our time.”
“Temi was AMAZING! This was the longest I had left my pup and I was nervous. Temi took such great care of her, sent me pics and even took her out and about and on a hike! So grateful!”
“Wonderful dog sitter! They sent photos of my dog several times throughout the day and gave me updates to make me feel comfortable while they were watching my dog. I will use them again for sure.”
“He lives in a great community with plenty of open spaces, parks, and trails. My dog looks very happy with him. He fed, walked, and played with my dog. He also sent me photos and videos how he took care of my dog. He is a dog lover and great carer.”
“Allison was exceptional, warm, and empathetic. Poppy bonded with her instantly, and she cared for him with genuine affection and attention. She stayed in touch with regular updates, showed great flexibility, and even took him out shopping, which was adorable. Her kindness and empathy made the entire experience feel natural, joyful, and reassuring.”
“Booked Thavery for 8 day boarding. She sent photos and updates of Harold on a daily basis. I felt at ease while Harold was in her care; she walks several times a day. And he likes hanging out with her Dexter, good company. I highly recommend!”
“Patricia took excellent care of our puppy while we were away the week of Thanksgiving. She sent several videos and pictures and treated her like she was her own dog. We have a nervous dog and Patricia was so caring and made her feel comfortable. I would definitely use Patricia’s care in the future.”
“Absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish! Lorelle was so attentive to our dog Gracie and sent updates with photos daily. I have never felt so good about leaving my dog! Lorelle was excellent and I highly recommend. Feel so blessed to have found her!”
“Megan was awesome! We’ve never used a Rover at all before and she put us completely at ease. She watched our dog over Christmas, communicated very well, and even gave our pup a bath. 🥹 would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Our dog was so happy to see Nika again! Nika always takes good care of her and you can tell she really loves animals. We also were stuck at Disneyland and couldn't get out quickly due to the crowds - we felt so bad because we were almost a full hour late to picking her up. Nika was so gracious and understanding. Thank you, Nika!”

“Bennie and Jennie went above and beyond to keep my cat entertained with an array of fun toys, and I could tell my cat was having a great time with them. They were incredibly attentive to his needs and sent me frequent updates with adorable photos and videos, which really helped ease my mind while I was away. We will definitely use their services again! If you're looking for a cat sitter who truly cares and provides top-notch service, I highly recommend Bennie and Jennie!”
“Lisa was amazing! My cats are usually very shy, but they warmed up to her instantly. She clearly has a natural gift with animals and left everything in perfect shape. I couldn’t have asked for better care.”
“Corey has taken care of our two cats multiple times, and we have already booked her again! We were gone for a long trip and Corey provided detailed notes and many pictures each check-in, and was communicative throughout the booking. She went above and beyond, brought her own cat toy and even cleaned up the cats litter area when they made a mess. My cats are very shy but by the first few days of the booking they felt comfortable with Corey. Thank you Corey!!”
“Rachel takes great care of our cat Phil! She always sends lots of pictures, plays with his favorite toys, and he likes hanging out with her. Highly recommend Rachel as a pet sitter!”

“Kiryl, Thank you so much for caring for my pal Pearl, sending photos, feeding and sitting with her. Gave me such peace and calm knowing you showed up as scheduled. I felt so much comfort knowing you are in the complex too.”
About: I grew up with 5 dogs and 2 cats, so caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life! I genuinely love spending time with every fur baby — whether that’s going on walks, playing, giving cuddles, or just keeping them company and making them feel safe and loved while you’re away. I am currently a student at UCI living on campus! I have a car and a pretty flexible schedule throughout the week, which makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my daily routine. I love spending time outdoors, so walks, playtime, and giving pets attention honestly feels more fun than work to me. I’m very responsible with my time and make sure every pet gets the care, attention, and love they deserve. Since I live in an apartment that does not allow pets, I currently offer care in my client’s home through walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I always make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for in their familiar environment. I follow each owner’s instructions closely when it comes to feeding, walks, playtime, medications, routines, and anything else their pet may need. I also love giving pets lots of attention, affection, and companionship while their owners are away!
“Serena was a life saver. We had another sitter booked who had to drop out the day before our trip and I was scrambling to find a replacement last minute. Serena was super responsive and returned my message within minutes. She was so easy to coordinate with, flexible, kind, thoughtful and very detailed. She sent photos and updates and let us know the status of each visit. I will definitely be asking for Serena’s help for any future pet sitting needs!”

“Amanda is by far the best cat sitter we’ve ever had. She sends very detailed descriptions of how each visit went, sends adorable photos and videos, and really takes the time to hangout with your animal(s). Our cats were SO happy when we got home, which was very telling about the experience they had with Amanda. I’d hire her again and again.”
“She did an amazing job taking care of our two cats while we were away on vacation. She was very thorough with the task and feeding time. We always received daily updates and pictures of them which was relieving and helpful. Would definitely book again with her for future purposes!”
“Yu was absolutely amazing! We were away for 10 days (the longest we’ve ever been away from our fur babies), and she took such wonderful care of our girls. From the start, Yu was incredibly communicative and asked thoughtful questions that showed how much she genuinely cared about understanding our girls and their routines which really helped us feel confident and comfortable leaving them for that long. Each day she sent detailed Rover Cards along with 15–20 photos, which meant so much to us while we were away. It was clear our girls were happy, loved, and well taken care of the entire time. We’ve had our fair share of Rover sitters over the years, but Yu has truly been the best we’ve ever had. She will absolutely be our Rover again moving forward. ❤️”
“Greta was amazing and truly caring with my kitty. From the start, I felt comfortable and confident leaving my pet in her care. I really appreciated the regular updates, which gave me great peace of mind. I would absolutely book with Greta again 😊”
“Ashley was very communicative and patient with our cat who is anxious. She was able to handle a situation where our cat got spooked and showed aggression in a calm and professional way. She was also able to care for our cat's dietary restrictions and able to give medication in the food. We felt confident that our cats were well taken care of in Ashley's hands and would book her again for drop in visits!”
“Lisa was perfect for our 3 cats. She updated us whenever anything odd or important happened, or the cats had any issues. She sent us lots of updates and photos, so we could see how they were doing. She maintained their bowls and boxes wonderfully, and played with them a lot. The cats did great while we were gone, and we were so happy with how happy they seemed.”
About: I’ve taken care of cats for over 16 years and truly understand how to care for animals with patience and love. I also have experience rescuing and helping stray dogs and cats, so I’m very attentive to different personalities, emotions, and special needs. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats, including senior pets who need extra patience and gentle attention. I treat every pet like family and always try to make them feel safe, calm, and loved while you’re away.
“Seriously just book with Justin. First of all, he’s an amazing photographer He took the most amazing pictures of my babies. The kitties look like they had a great time and were well taken care of. Most importantly, he’s dependable and reliable because that’s what I need when I’m out of town and I can’t be there for my babies. Will definitely book with him again he’s out of this world!!”
“We are beyond thrilled with the incredible care Yary provided to our beloved cat, Nori, during our 13-day absence. From start to finish, she exceeded all of our expectations, and we are truly grateful for everything she did. Yary's communication was fantastic from the very first message. She was warm, approachable, and immediately put our minds at ease with her attention to detail. Throughout the entire pet-sitting period, she kept us updated with regular photos and sweet messages about Nori, showing just how much love and attention he was receiving. It was so reassuring to know that Nori was in such capable and caring hands. When it comes to Nori’s care, Yary went above and beyond. She took the time to get to know Nori's quirky personality and made sure to cater to all of his needs. From playing with him to ensuring his meals were on schedule, it was clear that she was not only professional but truly passionate about animals. Nori was happy, healthy, and content when we returned, which speaks volumes about the quality of her service. What truly stands out is Yary’s genuine love for pets and her willingness to make sure both we and Nori felt completely comfortable throughout the entire process. She treated Nori like family, and that’s exactly what we were looking for in a pet sitter. It's clear she cares deeply about the animals she looks after, and it made all the difference. We can't recommend Yary enough! If you're looking for a reliable, loving, and detail-oriented pet-sitter, look no further. She is an absolute gem, and we’ll be turning to her again for all of our future pet-sitting needs. Thank you so much, Yary, for taking such wonderful care of Nori – you truly made our trip stress-free!”

“Very impressed with Hong! We had a last-minute change of plans and needed a sitter for our girl Spoon, and Hong was absolutely amazing. She cared for Spoon like she was her own, which gave us so much peace of mind.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats, including daily walks, feeding schedules, medication if needed, and companionship. I am very attentive to each pet’s routine and personality and always prioritize their comfort, safety, and well-being. I work remotely, which allows me to be home most of the day and easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine. This means I can provide consistent attention, timely feedings, check-ins, and companionship throughout the day. Because I work from home, I am able to closely monitor pets and ensure they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I follow all instructions carefully, maintain a clean environment, and provide calm, attentive care.

“Our lil furry baby loved Diana as well as the rest of her family! She came home everyday exhausted from all the playing and walkies which made my life easier! I definitely recommend her 10/10 could not have asked for a better dog sitter. She was super communicative and sent multiple updates throughout the day (which is helpful for anxious parents). They even went on adventures to the beach and to different parks and I was truly grateful for all the love she showed my lil fur child. She was truly AMAZING!”
“Lisa was great with our 4.5 month old puppy! She took him on multiple walks and sent us photo updates throughout the day. We would book again next time we need dog sitting.”

“Hanah & Dabin were absolutely amazing and went above and beyond! We’re so happy and they will be our go to whenever we need a sitter in OC! We know how great they are because our dog fell asleep in the car and starting snoring immediately, that’s how much fun Ghost had today. I’m usually very anxious leaving Ghost with a sitter but they absolutely exceeded my expectations!! Hourly updates and photos, it made me enjoy my time without worrying about our baby. Truly amazing and high quality, we are so happy and will recommend to anyone we know in the area that’s in need!!”
“Temi was very communicative and cooperative! It was our first time trying Rover. Even with very short notice to request “meet and greet” time in the evening, (after our first sitter cancelled the night before due to her emergency, we were so devastated!) she walked all the way to our community to meet Dreamer and tried to get friendly with her! By asking politely and patiently to be a friend to Dreamer ?, our picky Dreamer got closer to her at the end. And we were finally able to relieve! Temi is such a sweetheart! I definitely recommend her and will ask her to host Dreamer again!”
“Second time using Twinkle and would use again. She takes great care of my little blind senior fur baby. She communicates well and sends updates throughout the day. Highly recommend her ❤️”
About: I grew up with a dog and learned how to care for and raise him from a young age. He lived a long life and passed away in my arms at 17, which taught me how deeply pets become part of the family. Later, when I became a parent myself, we brought two dogs into our home right away. One of them had a congenital condition, and for 10 years we cared for him very attentively, making sure he lived a happy and comfortable life. This gave me strong experience not only in daily care, but also in supporting dogs with medical needs. Now our second dog has lost his companion, and I came to Rover to be helpful to other families and their pets. Your dog will not feel lonely — he will have company, care, and a warm, loving environment. I truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog as part of the family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I stay home most of the day. I structure my day around the dogs — regular walks, feeding, playtime, and rest. It’s very important to me to keep a consistent routine and give each dog enough attention, especially during moments when they may miss their owners. We go on daily walks in safe and pleasant areas nearby. There is also a dog park where your dog can play off-leash if you are comfortable with that, as well as many walking trails for longer, relaxed walks. I always adjust the activity level to your dog’s needs and personality. I also provide regular updates with photos and videos so you can feel comfortable while you’re away. We live in a bright, spacious apartment where your dog will feel comfortable and safe. I accept one dog at a time, or two dogs from the same family, so each pet can receive plenty of attention and care. My child is 16 years old and has a great understanding of how to interact with animals respectfully and calmly. You can leave all your instructions, preferences, and schedules — I will follow them carefully to make sure your dog feels at home and stays in their usual routine.
“Suman was so kind to accept a last minute booking and sent us so many cute pictures of Zoie during the stay. She’s very warm and took the best care of our little pup. Highly recommend!!”

“Mari, Ryan and Remy are a dream come true! My pup is such an energetic poodle mix boy and they totally get him! It’s a match made in heaven. They send so many photos, are more than communicative and thoughtful. They are so on top of it, it’s already making me a better dog mom. Goose comes home tired- finally! Long play times and walks are what we were looking for. Sad that it took 2.5 years to find them but happy to have them a part of our lives now!”
“I was quite nervous about leaving my 5 month old Shih Tzu, Tux for the first time, he has only ever been with my partner and I so quite naturally he very nervous upon arrival. However, Avancon and his gracious partner went above and beyond to make him comfortable...I mean, ABOVE and BEYOND!. From hand feeding him his food (wet food!!!!!) to gentle engagement that slowly calmed his nerves and allowed him to relax. I also received frequent updates and pics which I really appreciated, the great communication enabled me to have a worry free, productive work day. Words cannot express my true appreciation, I highly recommend this household for anyone with a puppy who they want to feel seen and loved.”

“Rachel is wonderful - we highly recommend! We booked walking services by Rachel and will continue to, as she has a great demeanor; calm and relaxed yet assertive and warm.

About: I’ve been raised around animals of all kinds since I can remember, my mother regularly raised foster kittens and we had foster dogs constantly in and out of the house. I currently still foster dogs and kittens on my own and am the go to sitter for all my friends and family. Spent years volunteering at shelters and rescues and also worked at a pet store for over a year. Also lover of small critters being a mom of fish, frogs, a hamster, and a spider. I currently work from home selling artwork and crafts so I’m very flexible with my schedule. I can stay all day or even over night and make sure to keep your pet company. I’m an avid hiker so I’d be more than happy to take your dog for a long hike (with permission obviously) or shorter walks around the neighborhood. I would only need to leave for short errands and to feed my own pets if my partner is unable to do so, but majority of time is dedicated to your Pets in your home. I’ve worked with animals of all ages and personalities and can accommodate any special needs your pet may have. If they are shy and need time to warm up, I will do all I can to gain their trust. If they need specialty food or medication, I have my own cats on a strict medication schedule so I’m more than used to it. If they are high energy and need lots of exercise I will make sure to get them up and running around as much as they need. I just want to make sure their lives are just as comfortable as when you are home with them.
About: I’ve had dogs in my family and in my life ever since I was born, I’ve taken care of all sizes and breeds of dogs and haven’t come across a dog I didn’t LOVE! I’ve taken care of all of my dogs ever since I was able to do chores, walking, bathing, training, and caring after them. I’ve also cared for my family’s, friends, and neighbors dogs overnight for vacations and trips since I was 18! I just left my job and am preparing to move to australia at the end of july! my schedule is free for you and your pets and i’d love the chance to care for them until i leave! I follow any and all recommendations you have for your babies (because you know them best), and I like for your pets to get to know me and me them before taking them out or playing with them so they feel comfortable with me. I am also very active so I like to take them out as much as they’re willing to!
“It's a wonderful experience having Sonomi taking care of our dog Sky. She is awesome and Sky loves her. She is punctual, caring, kind and happy person. We would highly recommend her to our family & friends for pet care. Thanks so much Sonomi.”

About: I previously had a pet rabbit, however due to my dad’s allergies we were unable to have any dogs. However, whenever friends needed someone to walk/dog sit/ board their dog, we would take the dogs at my mums house. So I have experience with dogs who aren’t my own and feel comfortable with all dogs. About 4 years ago I was finally able to rescue my own dog and what a joy that is. She is a little spicy with other dogs, e bikes and motorbikes, so I am quite comfortable and confident with dogs that are perhaps reactive/aggressive and respect all dogs and their individual needs and quirks. You tell me what your dog wants and needs and I’ll be sure to take care of them like they are my own. I work full time, Monday to Friday, but Friday I work from home so have a flexible schedule to come visit and weekends I am always around. When it comes to your pet in your home, you let me know what is where and what they need and they will be well looked after. I will stay in communication with you to ensure you don’t need to worry about your pet at home and they will enjoy their walks and cuddles

About: Hi there! My name is Charlene and I’ve had experience taking care of dogs since I was 4 from taking care of my family dog Heidi. More specifically I started taking on more responsibilities in pet care when I turned 8. Taking my dog on daily walks, feeding everyday, and picking up their waste in the backyard after I came home from school. Now that I’ve grown up, I have a cat named Georgie which I have learned to care for the last year I’ve had him. Whether it’s a dog or a cat, I am happy to treat them like you would when you can’t. I am currently working remotely. I live in a very walkable neighborhood, and with a park nearby for walks, giving me quick and easy access to always be available to let your furry friend out. I have experience with all dog sizes, but I prefer to work with medium to small dogs. If boarding in my own home, I have a cat who is fine with dogs. He tends to keep to himself when around dogs and won’t attack. I’m currently working from home so I have a lot of free time in between applications to play with your furbaby all the time. If there are any special requests please let me know! My number one priority is keeping your pet safe like I would care for my own pets. I will always keep my clients updated with details to ease your mind and to make sure you know that your loved pet is in great hands.
About: I had a few pets growing up, but none compare to Theo! In 2021, I rescued my now 7 year old chihuahua. He is an anxious and reactive little guy — but he’s taught me so much! Over the past couple of years, I’ve gotten him to a much better place. He’s a happy, often pretty lazy, little chihuahua! And, because of him, I know how to love and support your pet in the best way possible. I’m currently attending Chapman University, but my schedule isn’t too busy. I most likely cannot do same day appointments, but 2-3 days notice would be much appreciated! However you take care of your dog, I will too. I want to make the space as comfortable and safe as possible and become a trusted pal of your lil (or big!) best friend.
About: Growing up, I've cared for 3 family dogs, 7 cats, 5 tortoises, and 2 cockatiels. I've been a sitter for many cats and dogs since age 14. I have 3 cats now and they're my world! I would love to meet your sweet fur babies to take them out to enjoy the sun, get some exercise and get lots of pets and love! I've taken care of dogs as small as Chihuahuas and as large as a St. Bernard. My dream in life is to open my own animal sanctuary one day. I've been sitting on rover for over a year now, and I love it! So far it's been a great experience, getting to meet lots of new furbabies! I love to take lots of photos of your babies, and am very communicative during my visits. I will follow any and all directions for each visit as I understand each family has different needs. I work 40 hours per week but 'm pretty flexible. You can send me a message about my availability on which days you need me and I will respond asap. I usually respond immediately. Your pet's safety is a top priority. I will ensure your fur babies are safe and comfortable, and make sure to communicate with you during each visit. I have a full time job, but I am able to work around my schedule to care for your babies. If you are a bit flexible, I usually can accept any booking. I have 3 cats that are all indoors. One of my boys likes to go on walks everyday with a leash, he's basically a dog!
About: I grew up around dogs, I currently have one of my own. I consistently walk neighbors, dogs, and overnight them if needed. I know how to deal with senior dogs, adults and puppies. I know how to administer medication and I know how to train the little ones. I volunteered an animal shelter, so I work with all different types of personalities and no task is too big! I am currently on summer break and available all day! I do have work here and there but shifts are no more then 4-6 hours long. I will not be putting pets in my own home, but preferably if I am staying in your home, I would like detailed instructions on how you take care of your fur baby just to make the whole entire experience smoother for them and for me.
About: I have a natural love for animals and a strong understanding of their needs, making me an excellent fit for pet care. I am experienced in feeding, grooming, and providing exercise tailored to different breeds and species. I’m attentive to health cues, ensuring pets stay happy and healthy, and I can administer basic medications if needed. I’m also responsible and dependable, maintaining a safe and nurturing environment for pets under my care. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or following a strict care routine, I treat every pet with the same love and attention I’d give my own. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I prioritize organization and time management. I make sure to allocate specific times for feeding, walks, play, and any necessary grooming or training sessions, ensuring pets feel secure and cared for.

Additionally, I am attentive to their needs throughout the day, checking in regularly to ensure their well-being and happiness. Balancing pet care with my other responsibilities feels effortless because caring for animals is something I genuinely love and enjoy doing. Caring for pets in my home involves creating a safe, loving, and organized environment where they can thrive. I make sure the space is pet-proofed, removing any hazards like toxic plants, loose wires, or small objects they could swallow. I establish a consistent routine for feeding, bathroom breaks, playtime, and exercise, which helps pets feel secure and stress-free. Their designated area is always clean and cozy, complete with a comfortable bed, toys, and fresh water. I stay attentive to their needs, monitoring their behavior and health, and providing grooming and care as required. Most importantly, I treat them with love, patience, and respect, ensuring they feel like part of the family.
About: Hello! And welcome to my page! I go by CeCe! I am grown and raised in beautiful sunny Santa Barbara! I now reside in the lovely sunny Orange County! I’ve been around animals all my life. From my mom having the best border collie when I was a baby, to us having two cats, a bunny, and at least one parakeet in an apartment that i grew up in during most of my childhood to teen years. It was even my dream to get a job working at my local zoo as an actor, which eventually came true. All so I could be surrounded by animals, and say I worked with Dinosaurs too (I even acted with them)! When I moved out of my childhood home I unfortunately could only find affordable places to live that didn’t allow animals. That’s how I got into dog sitting! I loved being around animals and helping others take care of their fluffy family members. I now live with my significant other whose family cat is king of the house. I still enjoy walking dogs and house sitting. I do, unfortunately, work a 9 to 5 office job Monday to Friday (actually 8 to 4) to pay the bills. Because of this my rates reflect that. I wish I could pet sit all the time but for now this is my second job. I will treat your house as my own with a cleanly manner. I have my own form of transportation in the form of a vehicle with four wheels so any adventurous pups I am able to accommodate! I work an 8hr office job Monday to Friday. Sometimes a Saturday or Sunday if I happened to miss a day during the week due to life. It is adjustable and willing to accommodate with enough prior notice. Any lunch drop ins will need to be discussed. Because of previous experiences drop ins will need to be agreed upon by both parties and throughly planned. I am uncomfortable with cameras inside the home that are not made aware of during meet and greet. I am okay with cameras outside the home and understand the safety concerns of having them. I do not abide by using them to track movements of caregivers. I have an office job Monday to Friday, sometimes I have to make up hours on a weekend day because of other adult responsibilities during the week coinciding with other adult responsibilities such as work. I typically work 8hrs with a lunch break that can be up to an hour. I also have a partner and a home to help run. I have errands to take care of after work and on days off, like weekends. That being said I will do everything in my power to put your pet first, but I will not ignore my health.
About: I've taken care of my friends' dogs for years and adopted my own puppy 3 years ago! I've learned a lot about dog training the past few years, including loose leash walking, clicker training, working on reactivity, recall training, and getting through the puppy and teenage phase! I am familiar with positive reinforcement training and balanced training and can help keep up any training you have been working on with your dog while I take care of them! I'm familiar with various collars - regular, prong, slip, gentle leaders, and harnesses. I'm currently taking a work hiatus from being a pharmacist! So I have flexible scheduling during the day & evenings to help take care of your pup! I'm typically at the ceramics studio on Fridays, but if you let me know 2 weeks in advance of the Friday you need me, I can make arrangements. I am here to help your pets feel as safe and happy as they can while you're away. Just let me know their normal routine (no matter how detailed) and I'm happy to keep it the same for them! I can help administer medications if needed, and can put together multi-step meals with toppers as well!

I’ve taught him obedience and tricks, and I’m comfortable working with dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. Friends and family trust me to provide reliable, attentive, and loving care, and I always treat every dog like my own.

“Hazel was well taken care of by Doug! He was very flexible with our drop off and pick up times. She went on plenty of walks and slept well when she got back home. I will be using Doug in the future!”
“My wife and I booked with Banafshe for a long weekend trip, after our go-to dog sitter was unavailable. We are happy we did. Before the sit, Banafshe was courteous and timely in replying to our handful of messages with questions. She was gracious enough to allow us to bring Huxley over for a quick meetup with her and her lovely family), before the scheduled stay. Banafshe followed up with us the day of to confirm what time we would be dropping Huxley off. Unexpectedly, our pup had a tooth pulled prior to the boarding, and Banafshe was very helpful in ensuring Huxley received his medication (in his food). Throughout the time of the boarding she provided thoughtful updates and photos and was very responsive. She checked in with us to confirm when we would be picking up Huxley and made sure his items we left with her, were in his bag. 10/10. We would trust her and her family with our furbaby again and I highly recommend. 🥰”
“Wen was nothing short of amazing! We got update photos immediately and our pups who have pretty bad separation anxiety looked like they came back from vacation! She’s so on top of everything - medications, safety, play time and updates to us. Thank you so much! We will be using Wen in the future !”
“Rommel is wonderful. Our dog had a good time boarding at his place. He sent me daily video updates of our dog. Everything went smoothly. Because of him taking such a good care of our dog, we got to spend the long weekend enjoying our time.”
“Temi was AMAZING! This was the longest I had left my pup and I was nervous. Temi took such great care of her, sent me pics and even took her out and about and on a hike! So grateful!”
“Wonderful dog sitter! They sent photos of my dog several times throughout the day and gave me updates to make me feel comfortable while they were watching my dog. I will use them again for sure.”
“Allison was exceptional, warm, and empathetic. Poppy bonded with her instantly, and she cared for him with genuine affection and attention. She stayed in touch with regular updates, showed great flexibility, and even took him out shopping, which was adorable. Her kindness and empathy made the entire experience feel natural, joyful, and reassuring.”
“Megan was awesome! We’ve never used a Rover at all before and she put us completely at ease. She watched our dog over Christmas, communicated very well, and even gave our pup a bath. 🥹 would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Kun did a fantastic job as always! This is my second time leaving Blue with her and I always receive updates and see that she is getting a ton of attention and care. Definitely recommend!”
“Absolutely love Ms. Homeria!! She took my pitbull puppy super late notice, sent me pictures of her all throughout the day to show me how she’s doing. Pretty sure my puppy loved her because I know I did. One of the best puppy sitters around, she really enjoys taking care of them. 10/10 would definitely recommend. Thank you so much Ms. Homeria!”
“Tina is an amazing sitter. This was Maples first time with a sitter and we were very nervous about our high energy, curious beagle being in a new environment . But Tina was great at giving us updates with videos and pictures and learned maples behaviors and needs very quickly! Would absolutely book with Tina and her family again!”

“Bridget was absolutely incredible with our boy! She and her family were so kind and caring, and updated us with lots of photos and videos. Our dog unexpectedly fell sick, and she not only immediately notified us, but took him to the emergency vet within minutes. She felt comfortable caring for him at home and he recovered well with her. Our dog became part of the family with her, and we would not hesitate to ask Bridget to watch him again in the future. She is an absolute gem!”
About: I grew up with a dog and learned how to care for and raise him from a young age. He lived a long life and passed away in my arms at 17, which taught me how deeply pets become part of the family. Later, when I became a parent myself, we brought two dogs into our home right away. One of them had a congenital condition, and for 10 years we cared for him very attentively, making sure he lived a happy and comfortable life. This gave me strong experience not only in daily care, but also in supporting dogs with medical needs. Now our second dog has lost his companion, and I came to Rover to be helpful to other families and their pets. Your dog will not feel lonely — he will have company, care, and a warm, loving environment. I truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog as part of the family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I stay home most of the day. I structure my day around the dogs — regular walks, feeding, playtime, and rest. It’s very important to me to keep a consistent routine and give each dog enough attention, especially during moments when they may miss their owners. We go on daily walks in safe and pleasant areas nearby. There is also a dog park where your dog can play off-leash if you are comfortable with that, as well as many walking trails for longer, relaxed walks. I always adjust the activity level to your dog’s needs and personality. I also provide regular updates with photos and videos so you can feel comfortable while you’re away. We live in a bright, spacious apartment where your dog will feel comfortable and safe. I accept one dog at a time, or two dogs from the same family, so each pet can receive plenty of attention and care. My child is 16 years old and has a great understanding of how to interact with animals respectfully and calmly. You can leave all your instructions, preferences, and schedules — I will follow them carefully to make sure your dog feels at home and stays in their usual routine.
“Victoria watched our dog Betsy for a weekend while we were out of town and everything went smoothly! Betsy was very comfortable and Victoria maintained communication daily to give us updates on her! She followed the schedule provided and took wonderfully care of Betsy!”
“David and his family are great. This is my first time using Rover and having someone besides my family watch my dog. It went so smoothly and worked out great. I love that they send me photos and videos throughout the day. I will be having David watch my dog again in the future.”
“Adrianna was great and Casper had the best time. I was going on a vacation and was able to get some great photos and updates throughout my trip. If I have to leave again for an extended period I would be happy to rebook another stay!”
“Priscilla and her family were wonderful with our precious Penny. This was our first time leaving her for such a long time -- while Penny is a sweetheart, she can also be a handful because of her youthful exuberance. Priscilla (along with husband and kids) left us feeling so assured that Penny was thoroughly loved during our time away. Not only did Priscilla give us frequent updates with pics and videos, she also gave us training and enrichment tips with some of the toys they had vetted with their dog Finn beforehand and got to use with Penny while she was there. Their dog is also a sweetheart, and our two pups got along phenomenally which was a delight. Moreso, Penny really bonded with the whole family! During the latter half of our trip, we had a neighbor take care of her, and they drove her up to our building safe and sound =] I'm so much more confident about traveling knowing I can leave my girl in Priscilla's wonderfully capable and caring hands.”
