“Lorelle was super responsive and took great care of our dogs. We got daily pictures of them having fun and knew they were in great hands while we were away. Thanks again!”
“Wen was the best dog sitter! She is very communicative and sent updates and picture’s throughout the time Sparky stayed at her home. I definitely would recommend her and would use her services again!”
“Annie is amazing and so good with our dog. We’ve never left our pets with anyone and she made us feel at ease and comfortable leaving him with someone we trust. Also takes great action shots of our boy.”
“Emely was great! She even picked up our pup for us and brought him to her house. She was in very frequent communication with updates and photos the whole time! Our minds were at ease about our fur baby the whole time we were traveling! Thank you Emely! See you next time :)”
“This is a 5 star hotel for cats! I highly recommend it, and so does my cat! Very clean, roomy, attentive and I received pictures and videos of my cat daily. I could never go back to the cramped quarters of other places. Thank you for your incredible attention and care to my cat! 🐈”
“SaeWon did a great job watching over Gouda and Cheddar and showering them with lots of love and attention! She was also very flexible and understanding when our plans had to change last minute. We will definitely use SaeWon and her family again!”
“Our pup was safe, happy and well cared for. It was like he was on vacation too! We received plenty of photos and updates and they loved him like he was their own dog. Will definitely book with them again”
“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. 🥰”
“Grace had the best time with Neha and her family! Grace stayed an entire month so it was crucial for me to know that she was going to be taken care of appropriately, especially as I was going abroad. This is a stressful time for a dog owner as you want to be sure you are making the right choice. Immediately after meeting with Neha and her husband, I knew that she would be well at Neha's. Grace and Hachi (Neha's dog) hit it off nicely and got along together quickly. Neha's house was very welcoming and dog friendly. Neha and her husband were very kind, they wanted to be sure they could provide appropriate care for my dog and that their dog and mine would get along. All the conditions were there for me, really. During my trip, I was getting pictures daily, and I could tell Grace felt at home there, I saw her playing, resting, smiling. I almost fell bad she would have to leave because she no longer have dog friends to play with at home (my other dog passed away recently). I would definitely ask Neha to watch Grace again and we talked about having play dates for Grace and Hachi in the near future. 5 stars! Well deserved!”
“We had a really nice experience with Saeedhe taking care of Winter. She truly enjoys what she does and genuinely loves dogs, Winter was happy and we would definitely love for her to take care of him again in the future!”
“My experience with Polyanna couldn't have been more positive. She was punctual and super friendly in all of our meetings. She sent me photos of Jojo while I was away, which made me feel very calm and reassured :) I was happy my dog had the chance to socialize and be with someone else other than me (she's over attached). I can't thank Polyanna enough!”
“Chalie enjoyed his staycation with the Thu and family. We received good communication and pictures throughout his stay. They were even flexible as we ran a bit late on pickup.”
“After picking up Tanuki, I could tell she had a wonderful time with Sandra and her family. Sandra did a great job making sure Tanuki was comfortable and well taken care of, and sent me updates with pictures daily. It also warms my heart that Mocha and Tanuki became fast friends! Thank you for Tanuki's fun-filled weekend!!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog received from this wonderful couple. They truly went above and beyond—taking him on long walks every day and treating him like one of their own. Our pup came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. They also shared lots of photos throughout, which gave us peace of mind and made us feel connected while we were away. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, attentive, and caring dog sitters!”
“An amazing experience! I have a Siberian Husky who is an escape artist, unspayed, and not so people/dog friendly. I’m so glad to have found someone who could accommodate. Great communication and my dog felt comfortable from the beginning. Highly recommend Thank you! 🙌🏻🙏”
“Ever since I've started using Rover, this couple is the best so far. They were very responsive with messages, sent updates daily (lots of cute pics and videos!), and they took a very good care of my pup. Their dogs are friendsly. 10/10 recommended and thanks again!”
“William and his wife were great hosts for our dog. They sent daily updates and photos and videos, which I very much appreciated. Additionally, they have a beautiful yard for dogs to roam around in! I highly recommend them.”
About: I’ve always been around animals and genuinely love them, especially Golden Retrievers. My friends and family trust me with their dogs because I actually enjoy spending time with them. I hang out with them, play with them, take them on walks, and make sure they get plenty of attention. I don’t personally have a dog at the moment because I travel from time to time, but dogs have always been a big part of my life. My wife has owned two dogs, and I’ve personally had cats, so I’m very comfortable around animals and caring for them. I’m patient, calm, and good at building trust, especially with pets who may need a little time to warm up. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. I will personally be the one providing all care for any pets booked through my Rover profile. I’m available mornings and evenings for dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, and boarding. I enjoy spending real time with the pets I care for, whether that means going on walks, playing, hanging out, or just keeping them company. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and messages so you know how they’re doing. Since I live in an apartment, the best fit would be a dog who is house trained, calm indoors, and comfortable using either the elevator or stairs. They should also be able to settle without excessive barking. I’m happy to spend plenty of time with them, play, go on walks, and keep them company. I just ask that they don’t have aggressive behavior, biting, frequent accidents, or destructive habits. A quick meet-and-greet beforehand would be great so we can make sure everyone feels comfortable and it’s a good fit.
“Elmira loves pets and took very good care of Ruby, and sent me lots of videos and photos of her while I was away, which was much appreciated, letting me see how Ruby was doing. She is very interested in learning what your pets are used to and trying to provide that, and is very responsive to any comments or concerns.”
“Zhenni and her family are very friendly. They genuinely love dogs and take time to play with them. She sent me pictures & reports daily and ensure me the dogs are happy and healthy. Zhenni’s house is big and there are plenty of walkable parks around the neighborhood, which is always a plus!”

“What a great experience. Thank you for taking the time to keep our boy entertained and well cared for, and for keeping us looped in with your check-ins. We'd be happy to book again!”
About: I’ve taken care of cats since I was 12 years old! I love how each kitty has their own personality and quirks. I play by their rules, whether that’s respecting their boundaries or giving them as much pets as they want! I’m thorough cleaning the litter boxes, following the feeding schedules, and making sure they have plenty of interaction too (if they allow it lol). Happy to follow any instructions to keep them happy and healthy! I treat any cat as my own (and I have 3 cats with very different personalities).
“Everything went well, one of my cats is super antisocial and didn't come out much but my other cat really seemed to like Oelun a lot, and normally she doesn't come out much either! Will book again next time I need a sitter.”
“Kianna was my first sitter through Rover! She was so kind with my requests and even sent me some videos/pictures! She has a very positive spirit and responds quickly. I will definitely be using her again!”
“Great sitter! Was able to drop in on my kitties last minute and followed all of my care instructions which included giving my sick baby her cancer medicine. Took pics and provided updates :) would hire and recommend to anyone looking to get their pets cared for!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for more than 7 years, from puppy to senior dogs, including fostering dogs from shelter. I love spending time with them and get to know more about doggies every day.

My husband and I split the dog daily routines, where he take them for a longer after work, and I take them for morning potty breaks. I have a front yard and a back dog run. within my community, there are dog parks nearby and lots of green spaces for dog walk and explore
About: While I raised my first cat in my twenties, I have continuously raised three dogs since then. Decades of continuous pet ownership have taught me how to read animal behavior, manage their daily routines, and provide attentive, loving care. Though my recent focus has been on dogs, my lifelong experience with animals means I deeply understand the responsibility of pet care. I am highly observant, patient, and will meticulously follow your specific instructions for feeding, litter box maintenance, and interacting with your cat, ensuring they feel completely safe and comfortable.

About: Hi I'm David! I love giving any pet the same attention and care I'd want for my own. Whether it's a quick check-in, feeding and litter duty, or an extended stay, I will be there for them! I’ve been on both sides of pet sitting (being a sitter and a paw parent) so rest assured you'll get regular updates and photos so you're never left wondering how things are going. I pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, medications, and quirks that make your pet unique, and I make sure your home is left exactly as I found it. I'm comfortable with cats and dogs of all temperaments, from the cuddle bugs to the shy ones (I have a dog and three cats so trust me each of them is different)! Your pet's comfort and safety are always my top priority. I’m currently working full time on the weekdays but I’m hybrid on mondays and fridays so I can be pretty flexible! Open to pet sitting all days. I’m available anytime on the weekends too. I make sure to follow any house rules and pet schedules. I know most fur balls have their own routines and it’s important to me to keep them so they feel comfortable and safe! I can walk any dog and care for any cat, all quirks and sizes.
“Maggie is sincerely the best!! Better than my friends and family, better than anyone who ever walked my silly princess pulls a lot. The best. She’s caring, thoughtful, communicative, aware and experienced.”
About: Working with animals is rewarding in many ways. From an early age I have had the great opportunity to care for and pamper different pets, witnessing how they find joy and tranquility in my company. For this reason, I have worked as a pet sitter since my adolescence, being an animal lover. I love dedicating myself to taking care of their needs, from feeding them properly to providing them with a safe and comfortable environment in which they can function. I have much experience with dogs and cats I am also learned to take care of other animals because I love learning more about all animals. After work I have time in the afternoons and I love to keep doing what I like the most, if I have time I can help someone else with my experience and with an activity that I love to do. If the pet owner has a routine, I try to follow it so that the pet feels comfortable, if you do not have it I like to do activities and give it everything it needs to make the pet(s) feel comfortable with my care.
“Amazing! My fear reactive dog, Toby, loves Kianna so much and my Cassie is the same! They are sad for hours after she leaves and look for her each day. Just amazing how quickly they took to her! She is a new member of our pack!”

About: I have been surrounded by dogs of all ages my whole life, and have extensive experience in plenty of different scenarios. I helped train my dog when she was a puppy, I’m responsible for bathing her, feeding her, picking up her poop, walking her, and more - all the responsibilities of owning a pet. I am also the go-to dog sitter for my friends, family, and colleagues, as I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and do a great job at it. I have experience dog sitting for senior dogs, dogs with special accommodations, dogs who need medication, puppies, hyperactive dogs, standoffish dogs, pretty much every dog under the sun. I have no problems with any situation and can handle anything thrown my way! I have a very flexible part-time job where I can pick my hours, so pet care fits anywhere into my weekly routine where I may choose it. I tend to go above and beyond when pet sitting in the sense that I spend most of my time with the animals, so complete attention and pet care won’t be a problem. I could only care for pets in the client’s home, as my own dog stays at my house and is a solo act, but in a client’s home I would care for pets as if they were my own. I would expect to have access to resources I’d need to properly care for the pets, but I could also bring anything of my own if needed. I am determined to create and maintain a comfortable, safe, and loving environment for any pets that I’d be lucky enough to watch over.
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!
“I contacted Will at the last minute to do nightly walks while I was recovering from surgery, and I’m so glad I did. He has been exceptionally pleasant, responsible and punctual, even in really horrible weather, and he gets along beautifully with my dog Layla. I recommend him highly”
About: Hi! I'm Debbie, and caring for animals has been my passion for most of my life. I began volunteering at a veterinary hospital as a teenager and was hired at just 16 years old. I pursued veterinary technology, passed the California Registered Veterinary Technician state board examination in 2011, and have spent nearly two decades working in small animal veterinary medicine. While I no longer maintain an active RVT license, I continue working in the veterinary field and use the knowledge and experience I've gained over the years every day. My background includes caring for puppies and kittens, healthy adult pets, senior pets, and animals with chronic medical conditions. I'm experienced with administering oral medications, eye and ear medications, injections, sub-q fluids, topical treatments, and providing attentive care to pets that need a little extra support. Animals have always been a huge part of my life beyond my career. I'm a proud Mom, wife, dog owner and chicken keeper, and I also have experience caring for parrots and other companion birds. I enjoy grooming my own dogs and have experience with routine grooming, including bathing, brushing, nail trims, and styling. In addition to companion animals, I'm comfortable caring for backyard flocks and many ranch and farm animals, understanding that each species has its own unique routines and needs. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your animals are safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. I strive to keep pets comfortable, maintain their routines, and provide plenty of love, playtime, and companionship. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your furry (and feathered!) family members are in caring, experienced hands. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, medication, companionship, or care for your backyard flock or small farm, I'd be honored to care for them as if they were my own. Between being a Mom to older children/wife/part-time vet tech, my schedule allows me to fit in jobs to care for other's pets while they are going out of town for the day or longer. I will honor and follow your instructions to care for your pets as you wish. I also am big on sending pics via text with pupdates and for you to see that all is well.
About: I have a veterinary background with a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree earned in another country, and I currently work as a Kennel Technician / Animal Care staff member at a veterinary clinic, with 3 years of hands-on experience. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, turtles, and ferrets. My daily responsibilities include feeding, walking, cleaning, monitoring behavior, and providing comfort and care to hospitalized animals. I also have experience administering medications safely under veterinary supervision. My clinical background helps me understand animal behavior, health needs, and stress signals, allowing me to provide calm, attentive, and responsible care for pets of all sizes and temperaments. I work full-time at a veterinary clinic as a Kennel Technician, and I am available for pet care on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I regularly book walks and visits on my days off and keep my weekend schedule organized to provide consistent, reliable care. I prioritize safety, calm handling, and a low-stress environment for every pet. I follow each owner’s instructions closely and maintain routines to keep pets comfortable and secure during care. With my veterinary clinic background and experience as a Kennel Technician, I am confident handling pets of all temperaments, including those needing extra patience or medical care, and can administer medications when instructed.

Whether it's daytime, afternoons, or evenings, I am reliably available to drop by, feed, play, and make sure your furry friends are happy and well-cared for. Since I provide drop-in visits at your home, I prioritize your pet's safety and comfort in their own familiar environment.

“Wen was the best dog sitter! She is very communicative and sent updates and picture’s throughout the time Sparky stayed at her home. I definitely would recommend her and would use her services again!”
“Emely was great! She even picked up our pup for us and brought him to her house. She was in very frequent communication with updates and photos the whole time! Our minds were at ease about our fur baby the whole time we were traveling! Thank you Emely! See you next time :)”
“Our pup was safe, happy and well cared for. It was like he was on vacation too! We received plenty of photos and updates and they loved him like he was their own dog. Will definitely book with them again”
“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. 🥰”
“We had a really nice experience with Saeedhe taking care of Winter. She truly enjoys what she does and genuinely loves dogs, Winter was happy and we would definitely love for her to take care of him again in the future!”
“Chalie enjoyed his staycation with the Thu and family. We received good communication and pictures throughout his stay. They were even flexible as we ran a bit late on pickup.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog received from this wonderful couple. They truly went above and beyond—taking him on long walks every day and treating him like one of their own. Our pup came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. They also shared lots of photos throughout, which gave us peace of mind and made us feel connected while we were away. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, attentive, and caring dog sitters!”
“Ever since I've started using Rover, this couple is the best so far. They were very responsive with messages, sent updates daily (lots of cute pics and videos!), and they took a very good care of my pup. Their dogs are friendsly. 10/10 recommended and thanks again!”
“William and his wife were great hosts for our dog. They sent daily updates and photos and videos, which I very much appreciated. Additionally, they have a beautiful yard for dogs to roam around in! I highly recommend them.”
About: I’ve always been around animals and genuinely love them, especially Golden Retrievers. My friends and family trust me with their dogs because I actually enjoy spending time with them. I hang out with them, play with them, take them on walks, and make sure they get plenty of attention. I don’t personally have a dog at the moment because I travel from time to time, but dogs have always been a big part of my life. My wife has owned two dogs, and I’ve personally had cats, so I’m very comfortable around animals and caring for them. I’m patient, calm, and good at building trust, especially with pets who may need a little time to warm up. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. I will personally be the one providing all care for any pets booked through my Rover profile. I’m available mornings and evenings for dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, and boarding. I enjoy spending real time with the pets I care for, whether that means going on walks, playing, hanging out, or just keeping them company. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and messages so you know how they’re doing. Since I live in an apartment, the best fit would be a dog who is house trained, calm indoors, and comfortable using either the elevator or stairs. They should also be able to settle without excessive barking. I’m happy to spend plenty of time with them, play, go on walks, and keep them company. I just ask that they don’t have aggressive behavior, biting, frequent accidents, or destructive habits. A quick meet-and-greet beforehand would be great so we can make sure everyone feels comfortable and it’s a good fit.
“This was the best experience for us and our Golden. We were sent pics and videos continuously. Your pup will be loved and catered to as much as you do if not more. We will def use this family again. I”
“This was our second stay, and once again it was a 5-star experience for our senior dog, Petey. The biggest compliment we can give is that he has absolutely zero anxiety when we drop him off, which hasn’t been the case with other sitters we’ve used in the past. It’s clear he’s comfortable, well cared for, and treated like family. We have complete peace of mind knowing he’s in such great hands. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of him, we’ll definitely be back!”
“She cared for my dog as her own. I felt very comfortable and confident have my baby with her. She updated with pictures frequently. I’d definitely have my baby stay with her again in the future”
“We are very grateful for how Megan took care of our 7 year old Golden while we were away, sending pictures and updates everyday. Megan is a great communicator, very caring and truly loves dogs. We will love to have Jingle stay with her in the future and we highly recommend Megan!”
“Temi was amazing with our dog! We got updates all the time and it felt like Maui was on vacation with her sitter while we were away. She took her to the park, on walks, and to the beach! Will definitely be rebooking with Temi in the future.”
“Jordana took great care of our 2 fury family members for 6 days while we went on vacation. She was always keeping us updated with pictures and comments. Jordana and her family made Enzo and Niko feel home. Jordana is very friendly and kind, I highly recommend her to take care of your fury friends. Jordana thank you again for taking such good care of Enzo and Niko!”
“Radhika was very attentive and in tune with my dog’s needs. You can tell that she genuinely loves what she does and is incredibly knowledgeable about behavior and care. She also sends lots of updates and pictures, so you never have to worry! Highly recommend.”
“Pili was really great! From taking great care of our dogs, to being flexible with timing, to communicating and sending tons of pictures, everything was awesome. I would highly recommend Pili if you ever need someone to watch your pups!”
“We highly recommend Laurie! She took amazing care of our pup while we were on vacation. It was the longest we had been away. She was so attentive and sent us updates daily. He was one pampered dog! She is loving, patient, and communicates well. We will definitely be using Laurie's services in the future.”
