“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!”
“Brittany was amazing with our dog Luna! It was our first time booking with Rover and we felt so comfortable while we were away that Luna was in the best of hands! She sent us a ton of adorable updates, photos, and videos cuddling and on walks and playing with other dogs. Luna also never eats much when she’s not home staying at other places and Brittany sent photos of Luna licking her bowl clean which made us so happy! Definitely book with Brittany she is the best, Luna will be back!”
“Thank you Rosario and Ryan for another wonderful stay🥰 It was Bisco’s first overnight stay with them, and she sometimes doesn’t eat because she can get a little nervous/anxious at a stranger’s house, but she ate her meal with them just fine. Thank you for providing a clean, warm, comfortable, and safe space for Bisco🙏🏻 Will book again and highly recommend for other fur parents!”
“Our dog Clementine had an amazing time staying with Carmen and her dog Cathy for six nights. Carmen’s genuine love and attentiveness toward dogs really stood out—she cared for Clementine as if she were her own. I truly appreciated the daily updates, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing Clementine was happy and well cared for. Carmen even went the extra mile by introducing her to fun puzzles and healthy treats. It was clear Clementine felt right at home, and I’m sure she’d be more than happy to stay with Carmen again.”
“Kimberly was fantastic with Marley! She sent regular updates and pictures throughout the day, which gave me total peace of mind while I was out. She was quick to respond to messages and even accommodated an early pickup without any hassle. It's clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. I'd trust her with Marley again without hesitation. Highly recommend!”
“I can't say enough great things about Ellie! She cared for a recent rescue when I had to go out of town for a few days. She made my girl feel right at home and sent regular pics and videos which made me feel confident about her care from start to finish. When she found a couple of fleas on my put during her stay, she was so calm and helpful working with me from afar to take care of it. When my flight was delayed coming home, she even agreed to care for my pup until I could get back to town. Will definitely rebook with Ellie again!”
“Jennifer was awesome! She was available to watch our dog within a weeks notice and took such good care of him 😀 sent tons of photos and updates. We felt super comfortable and safe knowing our dog was in good hands. Highly recommend using Jennifer if you ever need a sitter in the area. 10/10 ⭐️⭐️”
“Fantastic. Until I found Tim & Andrea on Rover, I had never left my little guy with a sitter. I was very worried about it. Tim put my mind at ease instantly, and I can tell Noodle had a great stay. I got constant photo and video updates and he obviously fit in very well with the other dogs in their care. Couldn't recommend them more highly.”
“This is our second time booking with Travis. I trust him wholeheartedly with my dogs! He provided timely updates, made sure all of our questions are answered, and administered medication with no issues. He even made us more confident in our dogs! We’re nervous parents, but he always reassured us that the boys did well, or at the very least, kept them away from situations that would spike their (our) anxieties. I highly recommend Travis!!”
“Our English Bulldog stayed at Mia’s place for 5 days, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. She is incredibly caring and attentive with dogs — she sent us daily photos and updates with thoughtful details about Duff’s routine and how he was doing. Mia handled unexpected situations with great care, always prioritizing Duff’s safety and well-being. We truly felt he was in good hands. We highly recommend her and would definitely book with her again!”
“Dina is very caring and attentive. She and her husband have been great with my dog and some scheduling changes we had. Their dog is very sweet and getting along well with the guest dogs. I strongly recommend her.”
“Alejandro was great—very communicative and our pup clearly loved him! He even got our dog to eat, which is rare for his first time staying with someone. Will happily book with Alejandro again!”
“As always, Jess and Max took such good care of our girl while we were away. Curly Sue loves it, almost a little too much, and makes herself at home with them and it’s just a joy to see.”
“Mickie was a great dog sitter for our Waffles recently - very caring and communicative throughout. We also loved that Mickie’s dog and Waffles got along so well, made my wife and I feel at ease. Will definitely keep using Mickie for our upcoming trips.”
“Bethanie was great! Our pugs came back exhausted which means they were loved and played with. We also got lots of cute pics of the pugs while we were away from them. Most importantly, Bethanie was super flexible when our flight coming home was delayed! Thank you Bethanie for taking care of our babies!”
“Amazing! Alicia and her boys were the perfect spot to leave our Ollie. Great comms, responsive and totally thoughtful. Don't hesitate to board your pet with her. Thank you!!”
“Our dog seemed so happy staying with Salud. She loved the open space in the yard and I’m sure she enjoyed spending time with the other pups. She came home after we picked her up and fell asleep immediately, which is usually a good sign. Salud is very accommodating and sent an update while we were gone.”
“brittany took excellent care of our two dogs! she was very thoughtful in her messages and was really responsive. we greatly appreciated all the photos and the attentive care she took for each dog’s needs. will definitely be using brittany again!”

“Betteena saved my cat’s life. Truly. What was supposed to be routine pet sitting turned into a medical emergency for one of my cats while I was away, and I genuinely do not know what I would have done without her. My cat Harley became seriously ill, and she immediately stepped in without hesitation. She was flexible, updating her visits and adjusting her schedule around my cat’s medication needs. She monitored him constantly, administered medications, cleaned up after his accidents, and kept me updated nonstop. She didn’t just “watch” my pets. She saved Harley as if he were her own. In one of the most stressful moments imaginable, she stayed calm, proactive, compassionate, and unbelievably attentive. She noticed every detail, acted quickly, and handled everything with so much care and urgency. Because of her, Harley got help when he needed it most. I truly believe she saved his life. On top of all of that, she still made sure my other cat was equally loved, comforted, and cared for. My home was immaculate, communication was constant, and I never once questioned whether my pets were safe in her hands. Finding someone you trust with your animals is rare. Finding someone who loves and protects them as fiercely as you do is almost impossible. She is that person. I will forever be booking Betteena and recommending her to every pet parent I know. If you are lucky enough to book her, do it immediately. There are not enough stars, words, or thank-yous in the world for what she did for my family. Harley and I will forever be grateful.”
“Emma took great care of our cats Frutiger and Lazuli while we were away on vacation! She was very communicative and made sure our cats were happy. 5/5 would definitely recommend her to watch your pets!”
“If you need a cat sitter that will treat your pets like her own then Jennifer is the one! She took excellent care of our two cats, kept everything clean, and made sure they were comfortable and well looked after. We really appreciated the updates and attention to detail, it gave us peace of mind while we were away. Would definitely recommend and will be booking again!”
“We have never felt strongly about a pet sitter until Laura. Laura made us feel so at ease while we were away and we feel incredibly grateful. She sent so many pictures and updates and our cat seemed to love her. Could not recommend her enough!”
“Grateful to Mickie for a last minute booking over the holidays. She was very communicative and took photo updates every day we were away. Would love to book again for any future trips we are away.”
About: From a young age, I have always had a strong affection and love towards dogs, always wanting to volunteer at local shelters, visit extended family’s houses with a prime intention of hanging out with their pet, doggysit close friends’ pups when they go out of town, or foster dogs giving them a break from cage life and trying to help them get adopted. I am an active, loving and caring dog sitter who loves giving them all the attention and love they deserve. I'm comfortable caring for a wide range of personalities, ages and sizes, treating every dog like it's my own and making sure they feel safe, comfortable and happy while their owners are away! I'm currently back home from college for holiday break, so I have a very flexible schedule throughout the week! I am most ideally available in the early afternoons between 11am-2pm but I can definitely work around different schedules that work best for you and your pup! I have a large, fenced backyard with lots of grass and space for your pup to run around in or just sunbathe in! Whether in my home or yours, I am very attentive to caring for each dog and their individual needs with a goal to always to keep them happy, healthy and stress-free!
“Kaylee looked after my cat recently and was very reliable. She was responsive to messages, arrived during the agreed-upon windows, and followed the written instructions I provided.”
“I am the most nervous cat mom/brand new to Rover and REALLY did not want to hire a stranger from the internet to watch our critter but I'm SO happy we found Veronica! She is so kind and attentive-- super quick to respond, is a great listener and communicator and went above and beyond to always send pics and videos and left the house cleaner than she found it. Thank you V!!!”
“Allison is truly a cat whisperer. Our two cats are an interesting pair and they each have very different needs. It makes it difficult to find the right cat sitter because it takes a little more work to figure them out. But Allison understood their personalities right away and they immediately felt comfortable with her. We will for sure ask her to look after our little kitties every time we have to leave town. If there was such a thing as 10 stars, that’s what we would give Allison.”
“Annalisa saved our holiday trip when the original sitter we booked on Rover cancelled hours before she was scheduled to come. She was able to care for our cat at the last minute and was very communicative and sweet - sent photos and updates each visit. Thank you SO much Annalisa!”
“Chieh was amazing! My kitties are pretty shy and she took the time to try and win over their trust every day. She made sure they had plenty of food and water when she would leave and was great about sending update pics! I will definitely use her again and would 100% recommend her to anyone!”
“Molly was excellent in communication throughout her check-ins this Thanksgiving holiday! I received lots of pictures and videos, and she let me know how my cat was in acclimating to her :)) I very highly recommend and would love to book Molly again in the future!!”
“Meng was very communicative, followed all instructions and even stayed a few minutes extra giving Baxter extra attention and care. He took a liking to her and I would recommend Meng or have her watch him again”
“Roxane was awesome! Very communicative and followed complex feeding/care instructions super well. Grateful to have someone so kind to look after Scout while I’m gone. Definitely will be booking with Roxane again :)”
“I've never had an official pet sitter before (just family and friends) but Hannah did a great job with my kitties! Kept me updated with photos and comments and I'm happy that she lives so close by in case anything were to happen, especially with my senior boy. Will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Amanda is so thoughtful and kind with my cat, Moose. We have booked with her twice now and will continue to in the future. I really appreciate her attentiveness and the sweet photos she takes!”
About: I've loved and cared for animals since I was a child. I have experience with all different kinds of animals, but dogs truly are my best friend. I grew up around many different types of dogs in the house and know specific needs of different breeds. I adopted two dogs who are rescues and very reactive so I have day to day experience with dogs who need speciality care and attention when out on walks. I'm extremely reliable and have a warm personality which is perfect for loving your pets while you are away. I love to be outside and spend as much time as I can with pups playing and having a great day. I’m a Reiki Master Practitioner which add an element of calm to my encounters with animals. These sessions are available to your pet as well and can benefit them in multiple ways. Can’t wait to meet your pet! I’m working part time right now so I have flexibility to be there for your pet even on a short notice. I can no longer board with my dogs currently but last minute walks and drop by’s are my specialty day or night I always welcome any suggestions and specificities clients have. I’m very particular about my own babies and want to provide that as well. The walks I designed are based on my daily walks I do with my dogs but I am available to provide you the style or type your dog prefers. I always provide a photo too of us out and about. I’m really good at capturing animals in the moment 🫶🏽

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over four years and love every minute of it! Whether it’s training playful puppies, looking after senior dogs, or just giving them lots of love and attention, I always make sure they feel happy and comfortable. Pet care fits perfectly into my flexible schedule! I have availability on both weekdays and weekends, so I can give your pets the attention and care they need whenever you need me. In my cozy apartment, I create a safe and pet-friendly space alongside my small Yorkie. I always make sure pets feel comfortable, supervised, and in a clean environment—whether they’re staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home!
“Probably the best experience I could have asked for. I was very nervous leaving my pup with someone new and with other dogs, but she had the time of her life, and slept all night after. Brittany and Joe were incredibly friendly, responsive, and took wonderful care and attention to detail for our puppy. Would highly recommend”
“Mickie is great! Took good care of our pup, Lola. She’s quick to respond and very communicative. Lola seemed to have a great time with lots of play. Highly recommend!”
“Amazing Ace had an amazing day with Roxy. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our baby boy. We appreciate seeing photos of Ace smiling. We can tell Ace had a full day of fun and love.”
“Angela took great care of my pup for four days of action-packed daycare. My dog got exercise, playtime, snuggles and lots of love! She came home happy and exhausted every night. Angela was awesome with her & provided fun updates for me along the way!”
“Stephanie was friendly and seemed very natural interacting with my dog. I appreciated that she provided updates throughout the day and my dog came back looking content!”
“Aleesa took care of my Penni as if she was her own. She sent countless updates throughout the day that reassured me Penni was not only in good hands, but blossoming and gaining confidence with both her and her fur babies’ influence. She gave her snuggles and love and took her for a walk to the park by the beach. I couldn’t have asked for more. Penni went from clinging to my side and fighting to leave me when I dropped her off to hardly showing interest in coming home! We will definitely be using Aleesa over and over.”
“Brian is a dog whisperer. He is calm, patient, and treats my sweet pup and any pets he’s looking after as his own. Truly, his calm demeanor puts pets at ease immediately. He regularly volunteers at the dog shelter and has extensive experience with all types of dogs. Brian is eager to meet your best friend where they’re at (in my case, a 15 week old puppy that sometimes slept and sometimes had endless zoomie energy and needed constant attention!). Brian is wonderful with practicing training commands and shares updates and photos throughout the day. He is also super communicative and was extremely flexible as my work schedule required alternate pick up and drop off times. I’ll absolutely rely on Brian when I need full day or overnight support. Don’t look any further for support, Brian is the absolute best!!”
“Xun has been an amazing caretaker of our Goldendoodle Dustin. She provides multiple unprompted picture updates throughout the day. I highly recommend Xun to care for your beloved family member, I have used her services on four prior occasions, and I will not hesitate to book her again.”
“Annie was so great!! My dog got stung by a bee on their walk and she was able to remove the stinger and wash his paw. Fortunately there wasn't a bad reaction and she kept an eye on it the whole time. I really appreciated the constant updates. I'm glad he got along with her dog as well. Will definitely ask her to watch him again!! :)”
“Needed a last minute sitter for Bobby. Da Sol responded quickly and was able to accommodate daycare for the next day. She is friendly and communicative. Bobby loves her! I highly recommend Da Sol!”
“Camille was great!! She was super responsive and addressed all my concerns with ease. We have a small pomeranian and we're always concerned about him with bigger dogs or eating human food, but that was totally fine and we felt our pup was safe. He also could use some more attention (due to a toddler taking our time) which Camille and her family definitely gave him. Camille was also very accommodating and flexible in general. We'd definitely use her again!”

“Megan is the best! We were in town and needed a dog sitter last minute - so glad we met her. She took such great care of our frenchie, Louis. She sent lots of updates and photos. Louis even made a friend and I can tell when we picked him up that he was in great hands and had an active day with Megan. 100/10 recommend and will definitely be a repeat customer if we’re ever back in town!”
About: Hi! I’m Amy, and I’d love to welcome your pup into our home! 🐾 I’ve been a dog lover my entire life and grew up with dogs, so caring for them has always come naturally. These days I have a Miniature Schnauzer named Stevie Nicks (yes, just like the singer!), and she’s the sweetest little host. She gets along wonderfully with other dogs and would absolutely love having a new friend come stay with us. I work from home most of the week and only go into the office twice a week, so your dog will get plenty of attention, companionship, and potty breaks throughout the day. Whether your pup loves playing, cuddling on the couch, or just hanging out, we’ll make sure they feel right at home. I hope I get to meet you and your furry family members really soon! I work from home most of the week, so your pup will have plenty of companionship and attention throughout the day. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I head into the office, but it’s a dog-friendly workplace! If your dog enjoys new environments and it’s a good fit for their personality, they’re welcome to join me. Otherwise, I’m home the rest of the week and happy to discuss whether my schedule is the right fit for your pup’s needs. We live in a ground-floor unit with both a private front patio and a fully fenced backyard, giving dogs secure outdoor spaces to stretch their legs, play, or relax in the fresh air. I always strive to create a calm, safe, and welcoming environment where every dog feels right at home

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have experience caring for breeds of all sizes, from Pugs to Great Danes. One of my most rewarding experiences was raising 13 Great Dane puppies from birth, where I assisted with socialization, enrichment, and early development. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, and I strive to provide patient, attentive care that helps them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! I currently work part-time as a nanny in the evenings, which leaves my mornings and early afternoons during the week available for walks, drop-in visits, and boarding pet care. I’m also available on Saturdays and Sundays, giving me plenty of flexibility to provide dependable care and make sure your pet gets the time, exercise, and attention they deserve. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have a friendly, well-socialized dog who enjoys the company of other dogs, so visiting pets will have a welcoming companion if they’re comfortable around other dogs. I always follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions.

About: I have been surrounded by animals since childhood. I grew up in Colombia helping my grandmother on her farm, where I cared for dogs, cats, chickens, horses, pigs, and cows. That experience taught me respect, patience, and love for animals of all kinds. My strongest experience is with dogs. I have been caring for my own Pomeranian for over 11 years, and for the past 2 years I have also provided paid pet care for my friend’s dogs. I have experience with puppies as young as 5 months old, as well as senior dogs. One of the most meaningful experiences in my life was caring for my friend’s 13-year-old dog, Layla, during her final days while she was battling liver cancer. Being able to support her with love, comfort, and close attention reinforced my commitment to compassionate pet care. I currently work as a bookkeeper, mostly from home, which allows me to organize my schedule flexibly. This makes it easy for me to provide attentive pet sitting, boarding, and companionship during the day. I generally prefer pet sitting in the owner’s home, but I am also open to short stays in my home, such as weekends, depending on the situation. Longer stays can be discussed if needed. I believe pets are family, and I treat them with the same love and respect I give my own dog. I enjoy talking to dogs, keeping them company, and making sure they feel safe and emotionally comfortable, especially in new environments. I carefully follow all instructions provided by the owner, including feeding routines, medication, walking schedules, and special needs. Regarding food, I prefer to feed pets only the food provided by the owner. If authorized, I am happy to prepare or purchase food following the owner’s exact instructions. I pay close attention to each dog’s condition, preferences, and sensitivities. Dogs in my care are never left unattended. Owners are welcome to bring their dog’s favorite toys, bed, or blanket to help them feel at home. With owner approval, I also enjoy taking dogs to nearby parks so they can enjoy fresh air and gentle exercise.
About: I’ve worked professionally with dogs of all Temperaments breeds and sizes in doggy daycares and done pet sitting on the side. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friends🐾💓 I have open availability, I do have a 1 year old dog of my own that I schedule my visits around but I’m available and reliable. I am able to drive to and from sitting opportunities, and I’m punctual friendly and reliable. I’m very respectful to clients homes during every visit!
“Im very protective of my pup and was looking for someone that’s trustworthy that could take him out while I’m at work and was happy to find someone like Kassidy! She’s super friendly and accommodating and her communication makes me feel much better about leaving him with her! The pictures she sends during the walks makes me feel like my dog is very comfortable with her which makes me happy! Highly recommended and will continue booking with her :)”
“Rossana sent very cute pics of Foxy getting her stroll around the neighborhood. She always gets back to me quick and communicates well! Thanks Rossana for taking good care of my pup!”
“Haley has been amazing!! Brave is always so excited to see her, and she takes great care of him. After playtime, she wipes his paws and gets him fed and even loads up food puzzles for him. She is very responsible and timely - we have booked her several times now and would recommend her to anyone!”
About: I've taken care of a variety of animals, reptiles and cats included, who have different needs such as big dogs, small dogs, active dogs, some with medication needs, or even rowdy cats who like to escape. My focus is always on the animal and to make sure they can feel at home while their parent is away. Im a community college student and I work a flexible part time. I have my own car, and manage my time very well and am always open for pet care, as I often plan around the pet parents rules for their babies. I have two dogs in my home, both are potty trained so it is my job to make sure that they are taken out for walks or potty breaks on time, and fed at the right time to avoid any mishaps. I treat any dogs I'm watching like my own, and make sure to play with them whenever I'm with them and make sure they feel loved.
“Meng was communicative and had many photo updates for her walk with Dax. She wasn’t quite able to finish the walk but communicated and came back to finish the walk later for longer which was amazing of her to do.”
“Angela is awesome! Was super flexible with me as I needed a dog walker last minute. She was very communicative and made me feel comfortable leaving my pup in her hands! Definitely recommend. Thank you Angela!”
“Kateryna was a wonderful support in our vacation planning. She provided daily walks, reported with descriptive information and showed terrific care for our dog. Kateryna is responsible, flexible and fun. We hope to employ her in the future. Thank you, Kate!”
“Mark was so helpful walking Wicket every day this week and took a different route each day to keep it exciting and new for him! He sent adorable pictures and great updates daily. He genuinely cared for our boy and had him smiling so wide on their adventures and napping peacefully after!”
About: Hello! I discovered my passion for pet care as an auntie to friend' dogs and looking after them, which quickly grew into a thriving, word-of-mouth pet-sitting service built entirely on trust and stellar referrals. I know how stressful it is to leave your pets behind, and my primary goal is to give you total peace of mind. I am highly adaptable and experienced with dogs of all sizes, from tiny Chihuahuas to stubborn 80-pound Bulldogs. Pup mamas often tell me they won't leave their doggos with anyone else because of the deep personal attention and kind care I provide. I look forward to giving your dog or cat that same elite level of focus and attention. And of course, sending you plenty of pupdates. I work as a personal fitness trainer, meaning my client sessions are split with natural gaps throughout the day. Because I am only away for short blocks of two to four hours max at a time, I can easily accommodate early morning, midday, and evening walks or drop-ins. This flexible, active routine allows me to easily fit into your pet's established schedule without long gaps in their care. I am also fully available for overnight house-sitting bookings on weekdays AND weekends, providing your pet with dedicated companionship and structure while you are away. I provide pet care exclusively within the comfort and familiarity of your own home, as I do not host animals in my personal residence. This environment ensures your pet stays relaxed, stress-free, and safe in their own territory without the disruption of changing settings. When house sitting or doing drop-ins, I strictly follow your specific security instructions, ensure all doors and gates remain securely locked, and can easily crate your dog if that is part of their normal routine. And of course, you get regular pup-dates.
“If you're ever in need of someone to trust with your pup, Michaela is the one. When Poppy first met her, it was like they had a special connection right away. Michaela has this incredible blend of professionalism and a heartfelt love for dogs that shines through in everything they do. It's not just about the walks; it's the way they genuinely care about Poppy's wellbeing and happiness. Each time they head out for a walk, I receive these adorable updates that bring a smile to my face, no matter how busy my day is. It's those little touches, the photos of Poppy's adventures, and knowing she's in the safest of hands that make all the difference. Michaela doesn't just walk Poppy; they ensure she's having a great time, always considering her needs and moods. To Michaela, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You've made our lives so much brighter, and Poppy absolutely adores you. It's a comfort to know she's with someone as caring and attentive as you. We're so lucky to have found you!”
“Cortney was so amazing, she knew exactly how to handle our energetic 75lb pitbull. There was no doubt Cortney knew exactly what she was doing. Our dog took to her instantly and we are so thankful to have had her to walk our dog.”
About: I’m a dog lover who enjoys taking long walks in our beautiful city and being close to nature. I’ve cared for many wonderful dogs and small animals, and I truly enjoy giving them the attention and love they deserve. I’m in training to be a dog trainer 🐶 I have flexible hours since I work independently, mostly from home. The times of the day when I’m most available is Mon-Fri from 9 - 8 and some availability during weekends. I have a fenced yard and live close to many parks. I don’t have pets at the moment, I could host a dog that is good with children. My boys are gentle and loving with animals.
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up in the Midwest, I was the kid rescuing frogs from neighbors’ window wells after rainstorms and carefully caring for injured baby birds before returning them to the wild. That deep love and respect for animals has stayed with me throughout my life. I’ve lived with pets most of my life and have cared for three dogs and a cat of my own. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, relaxed, and loved while their humans are away. I have experience with a range of dogs including senior dogs, dogs post surgery, and puppies in training. I’ll apologize in advance if I say hello to your dog before I say hello to you! Professionally, I’m a researcher at University of California, Los Angeles, and I bring that same level of responsibility, attentiveness, and reliability into pet care. I understand how important trust, communication, and consistency are when someone is caring for your pets and home. I’m also a responsible homeowner and have lived in the Midwest, Southeast, and Pacific Northwest, so I’m comfortable caring for homes in different environments and routines. I’m respectful of people’s spaces, detail-oriented, and aim to leave both pets and homes happy, clean, and well cared for. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets as if they were my own. Since I work remotely, I’m able to prioritize pet care throughout my day. I plan my schedule around walks, feeding routines, playtime, and check-ins so pets receive consistent care and attention. Being home during the day also means pets aren’t left alone for long periods and can stick closely to their normal routines. Pet safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Because I work remotely, I’m home frequently and able to notice quickly if something seems off with a pet’s behavior, appetite, or energy. If a concern comes up, I’ll first contact the owner right away to keep them informed and follow any instructions they’ve provided. If veterinary care is needed, I’m comfortable transporting pets to a vet or emergency clinic and making sure they get prompt care. I’ve had pets my whole life—including three dogs and a cat—so I’m very used to paying attention to small changes that might indicate a pet needs extra care or attention. I’m also careful about maintaining routines, monitoring food and water, and creating a calm environment so pets feel secure while their owners are away. Clear communication is really important to me, so I always keep owners updated with messages and photos. My goal is for owners to feel completely at ease knowing their pet is being cared for attentively and responsibly.

“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!”
“Jennifer was awesome! She was available to watch our dog within a weeks notice and took such good care of him 😀 sent tons of photos and updates. We felt super comfortable and safe knowing our dog was in good hands. Highly recommend using Jennifer if you ever need a sitter in the area. 10/10 ⭐️⭐️”
“This is our second time booking with Travis. I trust him wholeheartedly with my dogs! He provided timely updates, made sure all of our questions are answered, and administered medication with no issues. He even made us more confident in our dogs! We’re nervous parents, but he always reassured us that the boys did well, or at the very least, kept them away from situations that would spike their (our) anxieties. I highly recommend Travis!!”
“Our English Bulldog stayed at Mia’s place for 5 days, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. She is incredibly caring and attentive with dogs — she sent us daily photos and updates with thoughtful details about Duff’s routine and how he was doing. Mia handled unexpected situations with great care, always prioritizing Duff’s safety and well-being. We truly felt he was in good hands. We highly recommend her and would definitely book with her again!”
“Dina is very caring and attentive. She and her husband have been great with my dog and some scheduling changes we had. Their dog is very sweet and getting along well with the guest dogs. I strongly recommend her.”
“Alejandro was great—very communicative and our pup clearly loved him! He even got our dog to eat, which is rare for his first time staying with someone. Will happily book with Alejandro again!”

“We had such a wonderful experience with Steph for our first time using Rover!! She was incredibly responsive and made us feel completely at ease while we were away for a week. Every day she sent thoughtful updates and sweet photos of our pup which we looked forward to and really appreciated. It was so clear how much she cared and how well she treated our dog :) she looked so happy and comfortable in every picture. We could not have asked for a better sitter and will absolutely book with her again in the future!! Highly recommend!!!!!”
“Jamie is so knowledgeable about pets and really took the time to make Clover feel like family. I’m grateful that Jamie was able to watch Clover while I was out of town and will be using her again! She sent updates and pictures all weekend to give me peace of mind.”
“Angela is terrific. She is highly communicative and responsive, and took great care of our cats and dog. She picked all of our pets up at our house and delivered them back, and she sent reports and pictures to keep us up to speed on how they were doing. We highly recommend her!”
“Rebecca took very good care of my dog. My dog can be a little jumpy at first and a little aggressive but Rebecca was sweet and understanding that it takes my dog a little time to get to know strangers. She took pictures and sent me updates daily. My dog got pretty comfortable with Rebecca as was evident in the pictures she sent. LOL! She is also very quick to respond to texts. I will definitely book her again!”
“Miri and Philipp were great with our little dog Maple and gave her lots of attention and walks on the beach which she loved! They sent lovely updates and photos and we knew she was in great hands. Will definitely be reaching out to them again in the future!”
“Jonathan was amazing! I am super nervous about leaving my dog with anyone. But I felt super comfortable and reassured after meeting Jonathan and Poppy. He is very attentive and knowledgeable. I was updated daily and could see how comfortable and safe my dog felt. Could not recommend a sitter enough!”
“Megan and Joshua were amazing with Hendrix. They were super communicative the whole time, sent regular updates and tons of pictures, and you could tell Hendrix was happy and well cared for. It made being away so much easier knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend, and we’d absolutely book with them again.”
“My pup and I were in Los Angeles from out of state and I needed a place to leave Pepper overnight so my friends nd I could go to a restaurant for dinner and a museum the next day. I can’t say enough positive things about Pepper’s stay with Jaime and Todd. They were absolutely terrific. Their home is perfectly set up for a pup’s stay, including a doggie door to their lovely enclosed backyard. Jaimie and Todd are delightful, kind, warm, welcoming and they clearly love taking care of dogs. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again!”
“Camille was amazing with my pup Nala! It was my first time leaving her overnight since adopting her and I was incredibly anxious about it. Especially the idea of leaving her somewhere where she’d be crated overnight. The moment I spoke with Camille on the phone she put my mind at ease. I could tell she genuinely cares about animals and puts their comfort first. During Nala’s stay, Camille sent update photos and video which seriously helped my anxiety melt away. Overall it was a wonderful experience and I’d recommend her 100%!!”
