“Brittany is a fantastic host. I left my buddy with her while visiting family in the east coast and made him feel at home. Brittany is excellent at communication, genuinely friendly, and cares deeply for those who come over. I highly recommend!”
“Dina watched Sawyer for a night and was very responsive. She sent lots of pictures, including some sweet ones of her kid playing with him. I’d definitely book with her again.”
“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.”
“Lucero was a great sitter! Our dog was so happy when we picked him up. Communication was great and she was so flexible with pickup time. Will definitely book Lucero again!”
“This is the second time i’ve used Vicky for pet boarding and she was just as responsive, communicative, and flexible as the first time. My pet enjoyed her stay and came back very happy. I’ll definitely be using Vicky in the future!”
“Rosario and Ryan were fantastic pet sitters who were incredibly accommodating with our schedule. They kept us updated with pictures and always checked in to ensure Teddy was well taken care of.”
“Sierra was wonderful with Archie! She was very communicative throughout his stay and sent plenty of pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. You could genuinely tell she cared about him and treated him with so much love and attention. We felt completely comfortable knowing Archie was in such good hands and would absolutely book with her again!”
“Had a great experience with Lissa. She was so great with Mac and was really good about providing updates to me. Mac was with Lissa and her family for a week and he seemed to really enjoy himself. She even was able to brush his teeth for me which was a huge help! She followed instructions precisely and was able to really engage with my dog in positive ways which included a lot of fetch and walks. Mac had some marking incidents and Lissa was very understand and kind about it. Mac and I are really looking forward to using Lissa again because it was absolutely fantastic. Thank you Lissa!”
“It’s been a while since I’ve booked a sitter through Rover due to a negative past experience so I was hesitant doing it again. However, I was in a bind & had to do a last minute booking. And I am so glad to have booked with Brendan. Moose stayed with him for 5 days and came back super tired from the adventures with Brendan. We received daily photos & videos of their trips to the park and beach. Moose is a little reactive to other dogs & it felt like he came back from Brendan’s a little calmer. He gave me tips on how I can help with Moose’s reactive behavior towards other dogs. Brendan is a life saver & we’re definitely going to rebook with him again.”
“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!”
“Jamie was incredibly attentive, communicative, and caring with my boy! She sent pictures and kept me updated throughout the day. I would 100% recommend her to anyone!”
“Nicholas was (once again) a fantastic sitter for Babi. He sent plenty of updates and was willing to be flexible with extending her stay when our other sitter had an emergency come up, graciously boardeing her for several more days beyond the initial reservation. He was flexible around pick-up time and worked with our travel schedule. He also noticed when she had developed itchy skin / dandruff and offered to bathe her. All around Nicholas offers fantastic care and great communication. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“You can just tell Ryan has a lot of experience and cares a lot about taking care of your pet. He asks all the right questions, was easy to schedule pick up and drop off with, and sent nice little updates. Thanks again”
“Rene was utterly wonderful and most attentive to details with my 2, 11 pound little girl dogs. Rene seemed to focus in on how each dog navigated the new environment. My little darlings were given proper attention, hugs, loving moments and safe surroundings. Rene clearly understood the eating regime was very different from the ultra foodie and my picky princess. Rene is highly recommended by me and my family.”
“Amira was so sweet and Maple had a great day with her! She was super thorough in making sure she had all of Maple’s details to make her most comfortable. Will definitely reach out to Amira again!”
“We are repeat customers. While we are away, we feel confident boarding our little energetic (and demanding...) min-pin with Roxy, as we know she will be in good hands. Thank you so much again, Roxy, for your love and care of our precious 'baby-cakes' :)”
“Andrew is a dream dog sitter! He cared for our dog like his own, and he sent photos and reassuring updates every day while we were away. I look forward to leaving our dog with him the next time we travel.”
“This is my first time using Rover, and our first experience having our dog being taken care of by another. It was crucial for us to find a dog caretaker for him, and Alicia's profile page stood out to me the most. She and her kids took care of Rocky as if he was their own and that means alot to us. Alicia kept us updated on Rockys daily activities and snuggles. I am so happy and blessed to have found her on Rover. If there is any other future needs, we definitely have Rocky stay with her.”

About: I grew up with two dogs from the age of nine, so caring for animals has been part of my life since childhood. I’m calm, attentive, and quick to read a pet’s body language and needs. I’m patient with nervous or high energy pets, comfortable with routines like medication or special diets, and treat every animal like my own. I’m currently applying to law school, which gives me a flexible schedule right now and lets me offer consistent, reliable care throughout the week, including daytime walks, extended stays, and last minute availability. Safety comes first. In your home, I follow your routines and instructions exactly, from feeding and medication schedules to specific house rules, and I monitor pets closely rather than leaving them unsupervised for long stretches. I communicate proactively with updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.
“We left our two kitties for a week over Thanksgiving and Sam took such good care of them, we think they didn't even miss us! Sam went above and beyond on making sure to slow feed one of our cats who has issues with eating too fast and then throwing up his meal and let us know when one of them had a furball. We definitely recommend!”
“Elsa took amazing care of our two cats and was so attentive, reliable, and kind. We came home to happy, relaxed kitties and felt completely at ease knowing they were in great hands. Communication was excellent and it was clear our cats were genuinely cared for. We would 100% book again and highly recommend!”
“Clarice was great with our kitties and she was very responsive to any messages I sent her. It’s a wonderful feeling coming home and seeing our cats are relaxed and happy. We will definitely hire her again!”
“My second time booking with Jennifer! She is very good and I think my cat is starting to get comfortable with her, I look forward to booking with her again!”
“Mickie was so great taking care of my cat! She was super communicative, diligent in following instructions and I was confident my cat was in good hands. Excited to use her again!”
“Laura was fantastic with helping our kitty while we were on vacation! She was very flexible for meeting up prior and for the strange layout of our apartment building.”
“Jennifer was great! I had a last minute booking and she lived nearby so I knew I'd be able to meet her ahead of time. She was accommodating and friendly and smart, and my cats took to her so quickly it was almost offensive haha. I used her for a weekend pet sit, and left everything very tidy and my cats were happy. You could not ask for more!”
“Harvest was wonderful. She was able to coax out our cat who is really shy. Was very responsive. We plan to ask her to check on our cat next time we’re out of town.”
“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.”
“Meng was amazing! 10/10! 🤩🫶🏽 She really got me out of a pinch by responding to my request so quickly. She was very communicative, and went above and beyond to care for my babies. Really helped keep my house clean and ordered from their crazy zoomies. 😅”
“Ashley was responsive, responsible, helpful and quickly built a rapport with our elderly cat. We had a unique situation. Our needed antibiotics and I was out of town. My mother and son did not feel comfortable giving our cat Sophia antibiotics twice a day. Ashley did drop in twice a day to administer the antibiotics. She was a true professional and the process was a lot less stressful for Sophia. She noticed that our house was hot one evening and turned on the fan to ensure Sophia was comfortable. We were so lucky to find her. She responds quickly to my messages and we look forward to hiring her again.”
“Allison was the best cat sitter I have ever had and this is not even a hyperbole it's just true. She got along amazingly with both cats, gave them excellent care and attention, provided us with so many photos and lovely updates. I'm lucky to have found her and I will 100% be requesting her again and again!!”
About: I’ve been a cat lover for as long as I can remember — even as a kid, I’d bring home feral kittens (much to my mom’s horror!) and spend my allowance on snacks to feed the neighborhood cats. Visiting families who had cats was always the highlight of my week. As I got older, that love only grew stronger. I began volunteering with Kitten Rescue Los Angeles, where I’ve fostered cats and kittens, participated in TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) efforts, and learned so much about feline behavior, care, and health. That’s also how I met my rescue cat, Orion, who’s now 11 years old and the heart of my home. Through years of hands-on rescue work, I’ve gained experience with cats of all breeds, ages, and temperaments — from shy rescues to confident cuddle bugs. I’m skilled in administering medications and pride myself on earning the trust of even the most cautious cats. I also love keeping up with new feline research to better understand their fascinating personalities. My goal is to make every cat I care for feel safe, loved, and completely at ease while their person is away.
“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!”
“Masayo is the best pet photographer ever, on top of being so caring and considerate about your babies she will also make memorable artistic portraits of them in all their best poses. We love her!!”
“Hannah was amazing! This was my first time booking through Rover and I had to leave on short notice, so was hesitant. She responded promptly and thoroughly. She was able to see drop-in and check on Lucy the same day! Will definitely be booking with Hannah again. Highly recommend.”

“Dina let me book on extremely short notice and did a great job taking care of my dog! She was very responsive and timely, and I would definitely trust her again with Khai.”
“Laura was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond to make both my dog and I feel comfortable with the stay. She even made the cutest report card graphic to send me after I picked Frankie up. 10/10 recommend her! You can tell she really cares about pets and understands how nervous you can be leaving them in someone else’s care.”
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!
“Brittany has the sweetest energy and my dog always comes back happy after a stay with her. She send pics and takes awesome care of my doggie. Highly recommend her!”
“Thank you so much Roxy for taking such good care of our baby boy. We appreciated the pictures a lot, as we were nervous since it was his first time away from us. Thank you for taking such good care of him! ?”
“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!”
About: I grew up with dogs and had my own fur baby for 11 years. He was a young rescue we trained and he lived to be a senior with senior pup needs such as supplements, medicine and daily eye drops so I'm very experienced across all age groups! Our pup had severe leash reactivity so I have lots of experience with that too. Lastly, I have also been a cat sitter for friends and family over the past 20 years. I work from home, so your fur baby will rarely be alone! I can provide as many walks as your pup needs throughout the day and frequent potty breaks are no problem either. I live in a spacious ground floor condo with a large, fully fenced in patio for sunbathing if your pup likes to hang outside. I have two kids, aged 6 and 10, who grew up with our dog and love all dogs. There will be no shortage of playtime and snuggles for your pup!
“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!”
“Jane was great as always. Our pup had extra energy before we dropped him off and she got him the exercise he needed. We always feel confident he’ll be well cared for when we leave him with Jane.”
About: I grew up watching my grandfather train dogs. My earliest memories have always included dogs. I had two Rhodesian Ridgebacks which I trained to off leash commands. I rescued a terrier mix that was badly damaged from a dust-up in the streets of Carson. I recently had to say good-bye to him on 2/20/2026. All of my dogs got extensive morning and evening walks at the beach or the park and numerous intermittent walks in the neighborhood during the day. I work from home as a recruiter and have consistently had at least one dog and up to three before my children went to college. I am very much in tune with knowing when a dog needs to burn off energy or has gotten restless. I look at going for walks dog as therapy for both of us. I like to allow the dog to time to take sights and smells and never hurry through the walk. Pets are welcome anywhere but my bed. I try to quickly crack non-verbal codes so that our time together is relaxed and mutually beneficial
“Valerie is a thoughtful and considerate dog sitter. Its obvious that she cares about her visiting pets as much as her own. She sends pics and updates in how Kobe was doing and behaving. Thank you Valerie!”
“audrey was amazing! i needed a last minute booking and it was a great first experience. she was super communicative and sent lots of photos. her dog got along great with my dog and i would totally use her again!”
“Millie had such a great day with Hope! She got to hang out on the balcony, play fetch with her ball, and go out for frequent potty breaks. Hope was super kind and communicative and Millie warmed up to her quickly :) can’t wait to bring her back soon!!”
About: I have rescued 3 Frenchies over the years, and fostered numerous others starting in 2008. I've fostered multiple Roadogs and Slaughterhouse Survivors (our second Frenchie rescue was a meat trade rescue who came from SHS) and currently foster for It Starts with One. I currently have one very mellow, very dog friendly, female, adult spayed Frenchie now named Reagan - who I recently adopted from the Labelle Foundation. Reagan is happy to play a little with other dogs, but she could take it or leave it. She does not resource guard and she's never shown any aggression toward the other dogs we've fostered and cared for. We also have a foster currently from Starts with One Today named Luna. She's a French Bulldog found on Skid Row and she's a gentle giant with a similar disposition to Reagan. I am a stay at home parent and I'm home for the majority of the day. I have a single story, single family home with a fully gated backyard with a 6' fence - we also have a small/medium sized doggie door (with optional ramp for the 2 steps (raised foundation) for seniors) which is available all day (we'll teach them how to use it). Please bring a harness for your dog. You are welcome to send their bed from home if you think that is a comfort item, but I don't need you to bring anything besides their food and a harness. I have experienced with: - Senior Dogs - Giving Medications (syringe, hiding in food, pushing) - Syringe Feeding - Post Surgical Care - Senior Care - Basic Potty Training Reinforcement - Palliative/Hospice Care We Have: - Dog Bed - Food and Water Bowls - 36" x 36" gated enclosure [if needed] - Crates [medium travel or large wire, if needed] and crate liners In my house: my husband and two teenagers. They give extra love but won't be responsible for any actual pet care. Note: the nightly rate is based on 24 hours. I do not prorate if you pick up early. The rate is per each night ie 8am to 8am. Or 4pm to 4pm. You can schedule your pick up or drop offs for anytime between 7am and 8pm. It's rare that I'm not home during the day - when that happens, it's usually for a very short period of time (like dropping kids at school). I'm kinda a homebody. I close the dog door around 9/10pm and reopen it at 7am. It stays open as long as I'm home, so pretty much all day 7am-10pm. I care for pets in my home only at this time. I do not offer pet sitting in your home. I have a single family home with a fully gated backyard and doggy door. Safety: Please be sure to convey any triggers or behaviors - I can probably handle most - but to ensure everyone is safe its important to know before you book. When your dog arrives at my home, I will place an airtag on your dog's collar with geofences set up, as well as a dog tag with my information, just to be extra safe. I feed dogs separately just to be extra sure there are no food squables. Our dog is not a resource guarder, but why risk it? I crate boarded and foster dogs when I am not home (which is rare) to ensure safety - once I'm comfortable that a dog is doing fine with our dog, we can stop (or feel free to request me to continue if you feel better about that).
About: What sets me apart is the level of personal attention and care I give to every pet. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to learn what makes each pet feel safe and happy. I’m patient, attentive, and dependable, and I’m comfortable caring for pets with different energy levels and personalities, including puppies, senior pets, and pets who may need extra patience or reassurance. I’m also happy to follow specific feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions. I treat pet sitting as more than simply checking in I want each pet to feel comfortable, cared for, and genuinely loved while their owner is away. I also value clear communication with owners and providing updates so they can feel confident their pet is in good hands. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and naturally make time for in my routine. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal with the same patience, kindness, and attention I would want for my own. I’m attentive to their individual personalities, routines, and comfort levels. Whether that means a morning walk, playtime, meals on schedule, medication, cuddles, or simply being there for companionship, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I also believe communication is important, so I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is doing well. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely comfortable and confident in my care. I prioritize safety, trust, and creating a calm, comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, needs, and any specific instructions from their owner so they can feel secure and relaxed. In a client’s home, I treat the space with the same care and respect I would my own. I make sure doors, gates, and windows are secure, keep pets away from anything potentially unsafe, and maintain a clean environment. I follow feeding, walking, medication, and other care instructions carefully. I understand that leaving your pet with someone is a big responsibility. I believe in being dependable, communicative, and attentive, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.
“If there is a pet sitter we’d recommend, it’d be Willow. We are very cautious with where and who we place Magnus with. She is personable and is such a free spirit. What we loved about her is that she took the time to really understand our dog. She was very attentive and observant of his behavior and needs. We have a highly energetic dog that requires so much attention and exercise, but she works her magic! Our pup comes home happy and tired. She has a good amount of dogs that allows him to socialize and has a nice backyard for them to play around in. She’s also great with giving updates and sending memorable photos. Thank you so much, Willow!”

About: Hello! I have not had pets of my own because of apartment living restrictions however have taken care of friends pets (cats and dogs) for over five years.

Because of my flexible work I can be around most of the day if that's what your pet needs or drop by as needed. Looking forward to meeting your furry loves and caring for them while you are away. I’m open to recurring dog walking gigs! My work is flexible and therefore I am available to support your pet's regular routine. I am available to lounge and play with your furry members as needed. I am attentive, engaging, and ready to play or cuddle. I am eager to learn your pets likes and dislikes and follow their lead on making them feel comfortable while you are away.

“Amanda was great with my fur baby! She was super aware of how hot it was outside and made sure he wasn’t outside too long and spent the extra time giving him love. I would recommend her to anyone for walks”
About: I grew up with 2+ dogs in my house since I was 5 years old. Primarily vizslas, but also a few terrier mixes. I love all dogs (an abnormal amount), am a very active person, and miss having my own dog. I’ve had one dog of my own who I trained on my own and with puppy school and was very well behaved. I have done pet sitting and walking in the past and am currently just out of graduate school and looking to fill some time before I start full time work. I’m currently a part time professional cyclists so I have lots of time for dog love. My ex currently has my dog so I’m desperate to have some dog love around as well. I would take our (8lb) dog for 2 beach walks a day, usually around 2-3 miles each. I have a fenced yard myself and my own transportation. I’m happy to accommodate however you best see your pets being cared for. Whether it’s a long walk or just company for the animal
“Meng was wonderful! She walked my difficult senior dog and sent so many photos and updates and followed all of my instructions. She was very good at communicating and keeping me updated. Definitely will be using her again!”
“Mark is the best. He communicates clearly and, most importantly, takes great care of our pitbull. You can tell that she is having the best time in the pictures and I am grateful we are able to have such a phenomenal person watch her. Thanks Mark!”
“We enjoyed having Hannah care for our fur baby while we were out of town. She was always very timely and sent us lots of photos of our pup! We greatly appreciate her and will book her again in the future!!”
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.
“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!”
“Penelope is amazing! She takes great care of our dog, always makes sure he has everything he needs when she leaves, and takes him on nice long walks. She’s been super flexible with scheduling and sends great pictures too!”
“Haley is so sweet and very reliable! She’s accommodated my requests even when last minute and takes such great care of my pup, who is always so excited to see her. Thank you Haley!!!”

About: I have had dogs all my life and taken care of friends dogs as well. My first job was with a veterinarian. I understand each pet as an individual with different personalities and needs. I will treat your pet as my own. I am currently working part time days, roughly 4 to 5 hours Sunday through Thursdays, and will have plenty of time in the morning, late afternoon and evenings, to walk and play with your pup. I do not have a yard but will follow your instructions to the T with respect for your pet and your home. I realize each pet is different, with their own personality and needs.
About: I specialize in high energy dogs, walking up to 9 miles a day and 2 hours of high intensity park play time divided between the morning and evening to match a dogs dinural sleep cycles. Every day I do a 3 mile walk to the park where we exercise for an hour before walking home, another walk around lunch weather permitting and ending the day with a 3 mile walk and another hour at the park and a quick potty break before bed. Food is given typically once in the morning and once at dinner to dissuade begging behaviors. Rough play is allowed in open areas and outside, couches and beds are for gentle play and sleeping. If extra energy remains after daily walks a puzzle toy is given to mentally exhaust the dog.
About: I’ve always grew up around dogs. I also enjoy running, so if you have an active doggo; I am more than willing to take them on awesome walks outside to tire them out. I’ve recently moved down here from Northern California and I miss my dogs. I am used to the routine of walking my dogs so I feel like dog sitting would be perfect for me. I also have great experience with bigger and more energetic doggos. I am currently working from home, which allows me to fill my free time with plenty of outdoor time, walks and runs. I don’t mind following your dogs walk/run routine. I am always paying attention to the area I walk dogs, even taking into consideration the temperature outside and things to bring on longer walks is important. Each dog is different so I work with owners to better understand how to best care for each pet.
“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!”
“Ariana asked great, thorough questions to make sure she knew Buddy before walking him. She's calm, kind and an obvious dog lover! I feel relieved (he's had past behavioral issues) and appreciative of her thoughtful care of Bud. Thank you!”
“Julia is phenomenal. Whether she is dog/puppy sitting for an extending period of time or daily walks with our pooch, she provides such great care for our dog while providing you peace of mind with her responsible and trustworthy nature. She is also a fantastic communicator. Highly recommend!”

“Dina watched Sawyer for a night and was very responsive. She sent lots of pictures, including some sweet ones of her kid playing with him. I’d definitely book with her again.”
“Lucero was a great sitter! Our dog was so happy when we picked him up. Communication was great and she was so flexible with pickup time. Will definitely book Lucero again!”
“Sierra was wonderful with Archie! She was very communicative throughout his stay and sent plenty of pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. You could genuinely tell she cared about him and treated him with so much love and attention. We felt completely comfortable knowing Archie was in such good hands and would absolutely book with her again!”
“It’s been a while since I’ve booked a sitter through Rover due to a negative past experience so I was hesitant doing it again. However, I was in a bind & had to do a last minute booking. And I am so glad to have booked with Brendan. Moose stayed with him for 5 days and came back super tired from the adventures with Brendan. We received daily photos & videos of their trips to the park and beach. Moose is a little reactive to other dogs & it felt like he came back from Brendan’s a little calmer. He gave me tips on how I can help with Moose’s reactive behavior towards other dogs. Brendan is a life saver & we’re definitely going to rebook with him again.”
“Jamie was incredibly attentive, communicative, and caring with my boy! She sent pictures and kept me updated throughout the day. I would 100% recommend her to anyone!”
“Nicholas was (once again) a fantastic sitter for Babi. He sent plenty of updates and was willing to be flexible with extending her stay when our other sitter had an emergency come up, graciously boardeing her for several more days beyond the initial reservation. He was flexible around pick-up time and worked with our travel schedule. He also noticed when she had developed itchy skin / dandruff and offered to bathe her. All around Nicholas offers fantastic care and great communication. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“You can just tell Ryan has a lot of experience and cares a lot about taking care of your pet. He asks all the right questions, was easy to schedule pick up and drop off with, and sent nice little updates. Thanks again”
“Amira was so sweet and Maple had a great day with her! She was super thorough in making sure she had all of Maple’s details to make her most comfortable. Will definitely reach out to Amira again!”
“This is my first time using Rover, and our first experience having our dog being taken care of by another. It was crucial for us to find a dog caretaker for him, and Alicia's profile page stood out to me the most. She and her kids took care of Rocky as if he was their own and that means alot to us. Alicia kept us updated on Rockys daily activities and snuggles. I am so happy and blessed to have found her on Rover. If there is any other future needs, we definitely have Rocky stay with her.”
“I truly can’t say enough good things about my experience with Jennifer. She took such incredible care of Pip and treated her like her own. From the start, she was warm, attentive, incredibly accommodating and thoughtful about Pip’s specific needs. She was also so communicative, sending updates and photos throughout the weekend that made me feel completely at ease. It’s never easy leaving your dog, but Jennifer made the entire experience seamless and stress free. Pip was so comfortable and happy, which means everything to me! I would absolutely recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter and can’t wait to book with her again!”
“Valerie is amazing! She was super flexible with us as we had some travel plans change and our pup had such a time! And we got daily photos!! Thank you Valerie for taking care of our pup!”
“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!”
“I can’t thank Rebecca enough for the love and care she and her mom showed to my baby Mojo 5 days away and she supplied me with constant reassurance and peace of mind. Thank you sooooo much Rebecca.”
“Liliana, aka Lily, was an absolute gem. I had a last minute need, just a few days before boarding my dog with Lily, and she was very responsive and receptive! I picked her because of her ratings and proximity to where we were staying during our visit to LA. Every day, we kept seeing and running into her walking my dog! She was so attentive to my pet's needs for walks and cuddles. I feel very lucky to have found Liliana & Ryan L.”
“Mia was great! She was so patient with my 9 year old dog who needed to get comfortable with a new place, He even peed in her place and she devised a way to teach him to go outside—she was very attentive and sent lots of photos which I appreciated very much!”
