“Dawn took amazing care of our dog! She sent great photos, videos, and recaps every day. Our dog actually developed an ear infection the day after we dropped him off, and she went above and beyond in coordinating with me to get him to the vet to get him taken care of. I wish I could give her 6 stars!”

“We were very happy with Lucy and her family. Mandi seemed really happy to play with the kids and go on walks at the nearby park. Thank you again Lucy, we hope to have Mandi stay with you again.”
About: I currently am a dog mom to a 12-year-old toy poodle, Pingu. He's very energetic and I would love to have him make more furry friends. Dogs must all be updated with their rabies and flea medications. I will not accept more than 3 dogs each time (with an exception for dogs from the same household) to make sure each dog will be getting the care and attention they deserve. I take the dogs out at least 3 times a day. Morning, Late Afternoon, Before bed. Feel free to ask me any questions. I am looking forward to meet your pups :) I work from home and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future, so I will have lots of time to spend with your fur baby. Your fur baby will be able to roam around and play as they please in the yard. I live in a single family house with a side yard where my dog often plays. My neighborhood is a dog loving community so your fur baby will have the opportunity to meet other dogs as well. I stay home most of the time and I make sure your dog will be on leash whenever we leave the house.
“Ruo was a fantastic sitter. Very responsive, and photos every day. We saw Derby and Lou going for long walks and making new dog friends. I always know they had a good time when they are tired and calm coming home. Thanks so much Ruo!”
“I’m going on vacation in May so did an overnight test with Karla to see how the pups handled. Surprisingly I had separation anxiety but Karla was perfect. She sent me updates and photos. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and I can go on vacation with peace of mind. Thank you Karla!!!”
“Michael is a fantastic dogsitter! He takes the dogs on looooong walks and sends lots of photos. My only complaint is that I think my dog liked him better than us and sulked the day we brought her home!! But that's not his fault!”
“Marivel did an amazing job watching my pup Koda! She sent loads of photos and videos and took the pups out for lots of walks and they got lots of socialization all day long. Thank you for take great care of Koda!”

“Julia was a fantastic caretaker of my dog Ella when she was boarded for a week. We received multiple updates from her everyday, which gave us invaluable peace of mind while we were traveling. Ella is a very energetic dog and Julia made sure to take her out to walk multiple times and Ella looked happy to be with Julia. I would recommend Julia to anyone else looking to board your dog. Thank you Julia and hope to see you again!”
“James did a terrific job with our two girls Beans and Izzy. Beans is an extremely shy dog and is very reluctant to trust strangers, so we are always anxious about leaving her with someone new. James was extremely patient gaining her trust though and went out of his way to make her feel comfortable and happy. When we picked them up both dogs were doing great and giving him kisses! He sent us home with some home-made treats, which was a wonderful touch. We hope James can watch our girls in the future, he did such a great job.”
“Kaia loooooves Bailey, Daina and Diana’s husband at PawPlayHouse. She’s always so sad to leave. I also love them and feel 100% at ease when Kaia is there. They’re my #1 for boarding, day care, and soon they’ll be adding grooming. They hooked Kaia up with a much needed nail trim. So grateful!”
“Thank you Ann for taking care of our dogs during our trip to Asia. She took exceptional care of our dogs, providing training, attending to their bathroom needs, and going above and beyond our expectations. She also sent us photos several times throughout the day, which gave us peace of mind knowing that they were being well taken care of by her. Thank you again and we would definitely love to request her help again if the opportunity arises.”
“Joseph was fantastic! We'd go back to him anytime. He made our dog feel right at home and sent us photos of his staying during his stay. We felt completely comfortable. We'd recommend him always!”
“I would give Karina and her family 10 stars if I could! She’s been watching our pets for years and she is amazing! From the start, it’s clear how much she loves animals. She keeps me updated with cute photos and little notes, which totally puts my mind at ease. Knowing my pets are happy and well cared for lets me relax and enjoy my trip. I’d highly recommend Karina if you’re looking for someone who’ll treat your pets like family!”
“Our dog had a great time with Jennifer; I think she was a little bit disappointed that she had to leave. She’s a senior dog and Jennifer made sure she got all her medications. Highly recommended!”
“Sylvia took awesome care of Ferb while we were away. She sent pics and videos of Ferb getting along with her doggie. It really put our minds at ease that he was getting that kind of love and attention. We wouldn’t hesitate to have Sylvia take care of Ferb next time.”
“Jamie is a fantastic sitter who saved my travel plans after a friend who was supposed to watch my dog bailed on short notice. She was proactive, responsive, flexible, and attentive to Clover's needs. She also provided regular photo updates. I can tell Clover felt at home with her and had a blast.”
“Had an extended stay with Jie (11 days). They provided continuous updates and it made me feel so comfortable leaving my girl with them. I would highly recommend Jie for any length of stay and especially if you’re nervous about leaving your pet for an extended amount of time, Jie is the right sitter for you.”
“Leah is a wonderful sitter for Leo. I booked her last minute appointment but she was great at following instructions! She sent updates (pictures & videos) of Leo. She even sent an inventory of Leo’s stuff before pick up. Thank you Leah Leo had fun!”

“Jennifer was a pleasure to work with and took great care of our 2 cats for 2 days. She came prepared at the meet and greet with a list of questions and took notes, making us feel our babies were in good hands. We returned home with no issues and 2 happy boys”
“We were gone for a long time and had Miriam drop in every other day on our cat. She did a great job providing updates. She even took out the trash without being asked, so considerate! I feel assured knowing our cat is in good hands while we are away. Thank you!”
“Michael was amazing. He understood every ask I gave of him, even those that were conditional on what he saw at our house. He made sure to give my cat the full time, and never let her out of his sight while he was with her. I would happily book him again to take care of my cat”
“Jordan was outstanding. 10/10 would book with her again. She treated our cat Juniper like her own and was so thoughtful about sharing updates and taking pictures. Little Junebug was happy as a clam when we got back from our trip, her coat was shiny, and her eyes clear. And that is saying a lot since other times we have left her with cat sitters we've returned to find her scrawny and overgroomed from stress. Thank you, Jordan!!!”
“Alondra provided excellent updates while cat sitting for us. Not only was she very communicative, she also left the house better than she found it. Would 100% recommend her for cat sitting and hope to work with her again!”
“Jin dropped by over the holidays to drop in and watch my cats while I was out of town and I felt greatly assured by their level of care and attention! The cats grew close to them very quickly, happily accepting pats and cuddles every day, even engaging in lap time. One of my cats was starting to feel anxious and started overgrooming while I was gone, and Jin proactively took pictures of her condition and gave her extra attention. I would highly recommend Jin if you’re looking for an attentive and warm cat sitter!”
“Alexis was fabulous! She took care of my cat Alfred over a weekend while I was away, feeding him and changing his water, and made sure to send me plenty of pictures of him enjoying himself! I would definitely book with her again.”
“Athena took great care of the cats and took lots of photos. They knocked down a wall shelf while we were gone, and she even helped clean up the mess for us. You can count on Athena.”
About: I have car sit for a number of years among friends and family. My friend Carson, whose family owns 4 cats have asked me numerous times to car sit while they are out of town. I have experience with feeding, cleaning out litter boxes. No experience in giving medication if needed.
“Yi is an amazing pet sitter. She took great care of my cat who absolutely adores her. She gave my cat plenty of play time, treats, cuddles, fresh water and clean litter. She took the time to meet up with me and my cat to learn about our space, my cat’s personality and needs. She was respectful of my home and was a great communicator. I would definitely book with Yi again!”
“Conner was awesome- we needed someone to watch our elderly cat and bunny rabbit and Conner was an awesome choice! He was a clear communicator and we felt that our animals were very well taken care of! Thanks Conner!!’”

“Dawn is the best Rover we could ever ask for!! She treated our dog like her own. It’s very obvious how deeply she cares about dogs. Leaving Tofu with Dawn eased our mind so much when we’re busy at work. Not only does she make sure he’s safe, she’s also making sure he’s having so much fun! Now when we take Tofu to Dawn, he’s happily wagging his tail with joy and doesn’t look back! We only have good things to say about Dawn. Thanks again Dawn!!”
“Natasha is wonderful! I’ve taken my 7 month old Boston Terrier to daycare twice and plan to take her there every week. Each time I’ve dropped Nora off Natasha will introduce Nora to each dog to make sure they get along. Each dog I’ve met there has a very sweet temperament and it’s obvious Natasha only takes it well tempered dogs. She’s very knowledgeable and trustworthy. Natasha sends multiple photos a day with updates. She has a beautiful home and I’d trust her to take Nora any day!”
“Great service from Michael! Potter had a good time with Chloe and some other pet friends! Michael took well take care of him today and took him for a walk. Michael made sure he had a good time and that he had some fun with his friends. I will definitely use his services again ☺️😉😁”

“Courtney took such great care of Otto! She sent me lots of pictures throughout the day and even gave him a bath for me! He came come squeaky clean, happy, and tired.”
“I very much appreciate Ruo’s attentiveness in creating such a comforting environment for my senior pup. Trinity is special needs (being both visually and hearing impaired). She is so calm when I pick her up - all signs of how at ease she is and evidence to the care Ruo provides to ensuring a stressful visit! ♥️”
“Thank you so much, Ru, for taking such great care of Mochi! She had an amazing time and it’s clear she received so much love and attention while staying with you. I truly appreciate it—you made me feel completely at ease leaving Mochi in your care. I would absolutely trust you with her again in the future!”
“Our dog was so happy meeting Daniel! I appreciate that Daniel didn’t need to use all the treats I left in her bag. We had dinner at a restaurant after picking up our dog & she sat quietly while we ate which is something she does not do often.”
“Jennifer adopted to our 8-yr old rescue quickly. We have had trouble finding good boarders but Jennifer did great spending time 1-1 and building trust with our dog. She is also great at being accessible, providing frequent updates and overall super nice.”
“Ethan and Gina were AMAZING, and their dog Astro is such a sweetie. They invited Marty over prior to the booking for a thorough and informative Meet and Greet, where they were more than happy to answer all of our questions (and Marty got to run around in their large fenced yard with Astro!). On the day of, Marty was very nervous going to daycare for the first time, but Ethan and Gina gave him special care and attention to help settle in. They sent pictures, videos, and text updates throughout the day so I knew Marty was comfortable, happy, and having a blast! When it was time to pick Marty up, he didn’t want to say goodbye. Overall, we had a wonderful experience with Ethan and Gina due to their kindness, professionalism, and loving care for Marty. We will definitely be back. Thank you!”
“We needed to drop off our puppy for daycare for one day when visiting the Bay Area and found Anna through Rover. She took care of my 10 month old puppy and kept us updated about our puppy through messages and pics. My puppy didn’t eat food that morning so I requested Anna to offer her the food again, she was kind enough to offer and ensure she ate her food. Thanks Anna.”
“Jesse & Kimmy made Honor feel right at home. They sent lots of updates and we really couldn't have had a better experience. We will definitely be booking with them again.”

About: I've loved animals my whole life and have cared for pets since 2016. I had my own bunny for five years, which taught me responsibility, patience, and how much consistency matters in pet care. Over the years, I've helped roommates, friends, and family with their pets, including feeding, walks (rain included!), baths when needed, cleaning up accidents, playtime, and companionship. While I don't yet provide emergency or medical care beyond the basics, I'm very comfortable with daily routines and making pets feel safe and loved. What sets me apart is that I'm very good at following instructions. I know every pet parent has specific preferences, and I respect that fully. During the first visit, I may ask clarifying questions to make sure I'm doing everything exactly how you like it. I also keep your home tidy and send regular updates with photos so you feel at ease. I'm available weekdays during standard working hours and would love to spend that time giving your pup or kitty attention, movement, and care. I'm currently available on weekdays during standard 9-5 hours, which makes me a great fit for midday walks, drop-in visits, and weekday care. I'm not available on weekends at this time. Since I'm focusing on weekday bookings, I'm able to give your pet my full attention during visits rather than rushing between commitments. Your pet's comfort and your home's safety are very important to me. I carefully follow all instructions, double-check doors and leashes, and make sure your pet is secure before and after walks. I maintain a calm presence and respect both your home and your pet's boundaries. I clean up after pets, keep litter areas and feeding spaces tidy, and leave your home as I found it. Clear communication is important to me, so you can expect updates, photos, and honest check-ins throughout my time with your pet.
“We have booked with Michael several times now. He is so reliable and easy to work with. I have one senior dog and two younger ones. All of them were given enough care and attention. Even one of them enjoyed “hide & seek” right before a walk, Michael didn’t message us immediately (would’ve panicked us because we’d thought he is missing 😂) but followed this little one’s ritual and patiently and playfully guided him downstairs to start the walk. It’s all these small actions from Michael made us dog parents can really be enjoying our trips while left our babies in such a good hand. Thank you!!”
“Artem is just fantastic! He is wonderful with my labradoodle, who is a 75lb 4 year old that acts like a puppy. He got to know her personality and sends me great videos and pictures of her walks.”
“Courtney has been great with my dog. She consistently walks her weekly and sends wonderful pics of her. I appreciate the consistency and how trustworthy she is with my dog.”
“Mike was perfect. I contacted him last-minute and we didn’t even get to do a meet and greet. He figured everything out with our house and our dog loved him right away. Mike communicated clearly and frequently and gave our dog the attention and activity he needed!”
About: I have grown up taking care of my family yellow lab Hobie since I was 10 years old, as well as dog walked/dog sat for friends and other families in my neighborhood. The age of the dog and any special care needed is not something I shy away from. Other Experience: - Dog walker with my sister when we were younger - house sitting with dogs I am currently home from college for the summer until September due to being on quarter system. I have open availability right now and am very flexible with scheduling needs. I live in a cul-de-sac back home, with a fenced backyard with grass, as well as a front yard where my dog can easily play, pee, or sunbathe during the Spring and Summer. I live next to downtown as well as multiple creek trails. Whether it’s going on walks with dogs or staying inside keeping cats company and time to socialize and play, are all environments I enjoy being in.
“Conner is amazing. He always takes great care of my doggie. He is very accommodating and flexible even with last minute requests. He provides detailed updates and is extremely professional. I highly recommend Conner!”
“Colin was amazing with Somi and was super responsive even for a last minute first-time walk the next day. I can tell she has so much love for all animals and was very warm when she met Somi for the meet and greet. She's very well-versed in learning their habits and making sure your dog is comfortable before any walk. Would 100% recommend for any of your pupper's needs and will definitely request again. :)”
“Molly has done great taking our 2 high energy golden retriever pups on walks! She’s also super communicative, friendly, and professional. She asked all the right questions, and I can tell she truly has a passion for taking care of animals! She goes the extra mile to make sure they are exercised and get all their potties out! We will definitely be using her for all of our doggie care needs :)”

“This was my first time using Rover and I brought our dog Roxie to Natasha because she had so many good reviews already and photos so I could see where Roxie would be rating and playing. She was amazing to talk to right away and answered all my questions quickly. She is very easy going and when I brought Roxie for the first time for an overnight she let her get acclimated to the house and the other dogs which I thought was great. She has a perfect set up and it was very easy to see how Roxie would feel right at home. Natasha sent me pictures along the visit so I could see how Roxie was adjusting and she took her to run and play at the park which is fantastic for my active Lab. I highly recommend Natasha and when Roxie came home she was so relaxed and happy. I could tell she had a good visit and lots of fun with the pack.”

You were great at communicating and following all my extensive instructions 😅 and also were super flexible and helpful during a stressful period. You also really cared about my dog's well being, taking him on sniffing walks and car rides and playing games with him to keep him entertained. I would 100% recommend you both to other dog parents! Thank you!”
