“My very small mini Shih Tzu enjoyed playing with the five-year-old son and one year-old son of this family. She seemed comfortable with the other two dogs that were there I feel the Care was very good and that she was well taken care of”
“Ross, Melissa, and Millie were the best sitters we could ask for! We received constant photo updates and they loved on our pups as if they were their own! Our dogs were sad to leave and we could tell from all the photos, walks, and adventures that they had an absolute blast. Would absolutely rebook again when we are out of town and need a sitter!”
“Banksy had an amazing time at Luna's and loved playing with Jim. I felt extremely comfortable leaving Banksy with Luna, based on the questions she asked about Banksy, her attention to detail about his needs and safety, and just her kind warm personality! I loved the pictures each day. I wholeheartedly recommend Luna and will definitely be having her watch Banksy again!”
“Wenxin is super friendly, a total dog lover (she has two rescue dogs who are very friendly and cheerful), and took great care of my dog while I was away. She sent very detailed, fun to read daily reports that chronicled every activity they did indoor and outdoor. Best dog sitter that you can find - no question!”
“You took great care of Maia and she seemed happy and settled in easily. We appreciate you being very welcoming and we knew she would get along with other dogs and be well cared for. We'll definitely be back in touch when we travel again!”
“Luis and Vivian are very friendly and caring. They were easy to communicate with and helpful in accommodating our schedule. Our dog was very happy to stay with them, and we'll be sure to reach out again if we need a petsitter in the future!”
“Ali is amazing!! We had a 10-day trip and were in serious need of someone who would give our vizsla the love & exercise she needs. We felt comfortable with Ali because she was incredibly kind, responsive, informative, and even set up a meet & greet with another pup she would be watching at the same time. Our pup Ava had lots of fun playing with other pups in the big backyard. We received pictures and updates from Ali daily. Our pup Ava had such a great time, we booked Ali again for doggy daycare. And based off of Ava's excitement walking towards the Backyard (fierce wagging tail, jumping, & winning w/excitement) it's safe to say she was happy to see her friends again!”
“They are just beyond amazing people who truly care and love dogs. Our dogs had amazing time with them, we can tell! There is no enough words to describe how beautiful people they are.”
“This whole process of pet sitting was unfamiliar and a whole new experience for us but Nadine welcomed us into her home like family which made it all easy. Romeo felt so comfortable during our arrival that as she opened the door he let himself right in and didn't look back. Romeo stayed for 5 nights and Nadine kept us updated regularly communicating by messages and sending us memorable photos of him and her pups while on our vacation. Romeo looked so comfortable and happy to be part of the group. We felt our dog was being well taken care of as Romeo was her own. Her family and pups did a great job keeping him comfortable and happy which put us at ease while we were thousands of miles away from home. I highly recommend Nadine and will be going back to her in the future! Thank you so much!!”
“Kelly has such a welcoming and kind personality and our sweet doodle was in great hands while we were away for 6 nights. He was loved, played with and snuggled by her sweet children to keep him company while we were away. Definitely planning to call her again. Thank you, Kelly!”
“Viola went above and beyond with the care for our sweet baby Rahki. She got him used to daily walks and gave so much love and care and also was super flexible with drop off and pick up.”
“Deborah was terrific! She is gentle, calm, and clearly knows how to take care of cats. She was highly communicative, timely, etc. It was so reassuring to have my 2 cats in her care.”
“Sabin did a wonderful job with my dog. It was the first timeI had ever left her with a stranger. She didn’t seem to miss me at all He took her on daily walks, gave her meds and sent me daily pics of her having a great time and becoming part of the family. I also liked that his home was very tidy. I will be leaving my dog with Sabin whenever I need to board my dog.”
“Wonderful sitter! Took great care of Scout and kept me updated with photos/videos. Scout went on fun hikes and looked so happy and well cared for the entire time. Highly recommend!”
“My animals are always so happy and healthy after a stay with Mariola! They definitely see it as their home away from home. I'll absolutely have them stay there, pretty much any time I leave town.”
“Michelle is fantastic! She took good care of my dog, which includes feeding him daily medication and treats. She took him on walks next to the bay and send me periodic updates. 5/5 would recommend.”
“Christine was incredibly easy to communicate with, professional, and showed wonderful care for my dog Manchi! She navigated her anxiety and quirks so well, took her on a bunch of walks, and even gave me a polaroid of her holding a show, her favorite thing to do 😊”

My senior cat, Juliet, who only likes me and my daughter, actually came out to say hi to Patricia! She truly is a cat person and will take good care of your fur babies. I’m sure I will be booking her again!”

She’s timely, dependable, and quick to respond. I will definitely keep using her as my go-to sitter in the future!”
“Michael did a fantastic job - he had no trouble with our complicated smart home instructions and had no issues giving our cat his medication. Will request him every time we go out of town.”

“Bonnie has been great, my senior pup stayed with them for dog day care during the week. She received walks throughout the day with photos shared. She's very accommodating and the communication throughout is great. I will plan on booking day care again with them. Thanks Bonnie!”
“Hui-Min is an excellent sitter! She was very kind and thoughtful. My dog immediately felt at ease with her and settled in quickly. She sent some nice updates and it was clear that he had a great day with her. I’d definitely recommend her as a sitter!”
About: I've had pets most of my life and enjoy spending time with them. I have helped train our current young dog. I walk her on a regular basis and also take her to a nearby dog park. I'm looking forward to getting to know your pet and providing for its needs. My schedule is currently fairly open. I plan to do dog walking and sitting as a full time occupation. I'm available for both weekdays and weekends. I have two dogs and a cat. We have gates that keep the dogs separated as needed. We also have a fenced yard that includes a dog run. My younger dog would love to have company to play with.
“My dog is super energetic. Ali really goes out of her way to make sure my dog is having a good time and gets tired at the end of the day. She loves hanging out at Ali's with her pup friends!”
“Archie absolutely adores his Wenxin and her whole family. The second he sees that we are pulling up to her house he starts to pull on his seatbelt. Not so much as a "goodbye" when he darts off to see his friends. We could not be happier to have found her!”
“Very Grateful! We were commuting to watch our son’s game, and our pet sitter canceled on us last minute. I contacted Leslie in the early morning and she promptly accepted. I can tell Rex had a great time with Leslie and family. They were very caring, professional and friendly.”
“Mariah has been a wonderful caretaker for a challenging pup with a major case of separation anxiety. She is easy to communicate with and takes great care in making sure my dog is comfortable when he is with her. He actually gets excited when we arrive at Mariah's house, which always puts me at ease knowing that he will be well taken care of and loved during the day.”
“A huge THANK YOU to Michael, his mom, and Mayzie for taking such good care of our puppy for the day. Michael’s communication was great from the time of booking, through the entire day (he sent lots of photos and texts), until the end of the booking. He even took our pup on a couple of short walks, which was super nice of him. We could tell from the photos Michael sent us that our puppy was having so much fun and plenty of play time. We would definitely recommend Michael and hope to use him again.”

“Ashish was great! We did a Meet and Greet a few days before so Penny could meet Andy. We met Andy and Ashish’s son - both were so sweet 🥰😍 I would definitely recommend his services for doggie daycare. He sent pics and Penny seemed to enjoy herself in his lovely backyard - it was a nice sunny day.”
“Gail was absolutely amazing with Bosco. She was very flexible with my work times for pick up/drop off, and was available very last minute to watch him for me when I had work! Bosco made himself at home almost instantly with her and her family and was so happy and tired when I picked him up. We will absolutely be using Gail again for daycare!!”
“Eileen and Rolando are amazing! We did a meet and greet with my pup and Toro before our weekly dog day care, very friendly invited us right in. Toro is a sweetheart and I'm glad my pup has a cheerful bud to hang with during the day. We get pictures and updates throughout the day and they take them out a couple of times, so plenty of attention and entertainment. Thank you both!”

About: I have over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. Since childhood, animals have been a central part of my life, and I have spent decades helping neighbors, friends, and family with walking, feeding, bathing, and overnight care. This lifelong dedication has taught me how to connect with different animal personalities, from high-energy puppies who need plenty of stimulation to calm senior dogs who require gentle attention and patience. I treat every single animal with the same deep respect, love, and high standard of care that I give to my own family pets. I currently work on a part-time basis, which gives me immense flexibility throughout the week to dedicate myself fully to your pets. My schedule allows me to easily accommodate midday check-ins, routine dog walking, and active playtime blocks. I am fully available for overnight boarding and house sitting during weekends, as well as select weekdays. Because I am home frequently, your dog will rarely be left alone, ensuring they receive consistent attention, timely feeding, bathroom breaks, and all the affection they need to feel completely safe and secure while you are away. Safety is my absolute top priority when looking after your beloved pets. I have a spacious, fully fenced yard where dogs can safely run and play under direct supervision. To keep your fur baby company, I have two incredibly friendly, well-socialized resident dogs who love making new friends. My home is entirely pet-proofed, and I can easily crate your dog if needed for meals, bedtime, or based on your personal preferences. I am incredibly vigilant about door security, yard boundaries, and maintaining a calm, stress-free environment to ensure every guest stays happy, healthy, and entirely secure.
“I have an anxious senior pup who hasn't spent much time apart from my partner and I since adopting him a few months ago (in large part due to his anxiety). I did a pre-meeting with Zoe to make sure it would be a good fit for the pup and then we completed the booking. While my pup still let me know later in the day he was mad I left him, when I picked him up he was happy and bouncing around, but also perfectly happy to go back and hang with her. I think this was the most positive experience possible for Rick and am hopeful the positive experience might help him towards being less anxious when we leave him in the future (every positive experience helps I hope!). I would and will definitely book again with her as long as she's available and accepts him again! Also to note, she was very flexible with our pick up time which I appreciated - I had mentioned I might be able to pick the dog up early, and then when I was able to I messaged her that day and picked him up 3 hours early to hopefully make it easier on Rick. That for sure saved me some time instead of needing to pick him up and hitting rush hour on my way home. She was also very helpful and provided feedback to me on Rick's behavior at my request so I have a good handle on how his anxiety and overall behavior is progressing as we try to work through it. Thanks again Zoe (and Partner!)! I really appreciate y'all.”

About: I am new to rover but not new to caring for animals. I have had all kinds of pets throughout of my life! Because of this, I consider myself to be attentive, patient, and empathetic. I know how it can be scary trusting a stranger with your pet but I can assure you, I'll treat them as my own. I am the type of person that points out every dog that walks by in awe! I have experience in basic training dogs & puppies. At the moment I have a Border Collie named Koffee that I co parent with my brother, this taught me how important communication is (this includes sending the cutest pics/vids of them).

“Yasmin was so incredibly great with my dog! I have a very hyper little dog and she was so patient and kind with him. She took him for long walks (even in this heatwave!) and made sure he had water after they were done. She also takes the cutest pictures that I have saved many to my phone. She even provides an update of how the walk went and what happened with her walking card which definitely going above and beyond. If you need a great dog walker I would highly recommend her because she is so amazing!”
About: I've had pets most of my life. When I was born, my mom had three Cocker Spaniels. Over the years, I have had several large breed dogs and one small dog. I enjoy spending time hiking and training my own dog and others. Over the last several years, I have been helping my son with his pet care business, so I have had a lot of experience boarding pets. I am a retired teacher, so I am home most of the time. I do run some errands during the day or am out walking dogs. Most of our guest dogs stay in the living room where we spend most of our time. I have a fenced yard, a Standard Poodle that is very used to having guest dogs in my home, and three cats that live upstairs.

“Gabby did a great job with my dog, Murphy! Murphy’s a rescue chihuahua mix who takes awhile to warm up to new people. I know it was not easy, but Gabby got him out for two walks while I had to travel out of town for the day. I really appreciated Gabby’s patience with him and it was a relief to know he was in good hands.”

I’m patient and responsible, and I always make sure cats feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. My schedule is fairly flexible, so I can usually fit cat visits into my daily routine. I mainly offer drop-in visits and boarding for cats.

I follow any instructions from the owner carefully, and I create a calm, secure environment so pets feel happy and relaxed while in my care.

“Ross, Melissa, and Millie were the best sitters we could ask for! We received constant photo updates and they loved on our pups as if they were their own! Our dogs were sad to leave and we could tell from all the photos, walks, and adventures that they had an absolute blast. Would absolutely rebook again when we are out of town and need a sitter!”
“You took great care of Maia and she seemed happy and settled in easily. We appreciate you being very welcoming and we knew she would get along with other dogs and be well cared for. We'll definitely be back in touch when we travel again!”
“Luis and Vivian are very friendly and caring. They were easy to communicate with and helpful in accommodating our schedule. Our dog was very happy to stay with them, and we'll be sure to reach out again if we need a petsitter in the future!”
“Ali is amazing!! We had a 10-day trip and were in serious need of someone who would give our vizsla the love & exercise she needs. We felt comfortable with Ali because she was incredibly kind, responsive, informative, and even set up a meet & greet with another pup she would be watching at the same time. Our pup Ava had lots of fun playing with other pups in the big backyard. We received pictures and updates from Ali daily. Our pup Ava had such a great time, we booked Ali again for doggy daycare. And based off of Ava's excitement walking towards the Backyard (fierce wagging tail, jumping, & winning w/excitement) it's safe to say she was happy to see her friends again!”
“Viola went above and beyond with the care for our sweet baby Rahki. She got him used to daily walks and gave so much love and care and also was super flexible with drop off and pick up.”
“Sabin did a wonderful job with my dog. It was the first timeI had ever left her with a stranger. She didn’t seem to miss me at all He took her on daily walks, gave her meds and sent me daily pics of her having a great time and becoming part of the family. I also liked that his home was very tidy. I will be leaving my dog with Sabin whenever I need to board my dog.”
“Wonderful sitter! Took great care of Scout and kept me updated with photos/videos. Scout went on fun hikes and looked so happy and well cared for the entire time. Highly recommend!”
“Michelle is fantastic! She took good care of my dog, which includes feeding him daily medication and treats. She took him on walks next to the bay and send me periodic updates. 5/5 would recommend.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities for 15 years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, play with, and care for their pets while away. I’m patient, attentive, active, and genuinely love animals. I understand the importance of making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I love taking dogs on hikes and to the beach as well. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week and on weekends. I enjoy staying active, spending time outdoors, and making sure pets get the care, attention, exercise, and companionship they need to feel happy and comfortable. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving, and attentive environment and always follow the owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding, routines, medications, walks, and special care needs. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior and body language to ensure they feel safe, secure, and well cared for at all times.
“Louis watched our dog for multiple days over Thanksgiving week, and was absolutely amazing. He gave super prompt communication and is very knowledgeable. We felt at ease during our trip knowing our dog was in good hands. Highly recommend Louis if you are in need of a great dog sitter!”
“Charlene was awesome! She was super friendly and flexible. She was very responsive and gives plenty of updates. Our dogs had a great time playing with the pack. Charlene’s place offers a safe environment for the dogs and provides a good balance of playtime and nap time. She is attentive to any instruction given prior as well. Would highly recommend and will be returning. I believe my dogs did not want to come back home with me after staying there!!”
“We loved how easy it was to use Sarita! She has a few people there helping with the dogs so they are never alone and my dogs we're excited to go inside. There's a good backyard that is enclosed so I feel that my dogs are safe there! We will be using them again for much longer and I can't wait to get updates.”
“This was a wonderful place for my year old Havanese. There were two small dogs living there and she could play as much as she wanted to. They went above and beyond: combed her long hair, washed her bed and blanket and her stuffed animal, Lamb Chop. I will be using them again. There was a nice grassy backyard, but Leon also walks them several times a day.”
“Michael has watched our pup, Stella, a number of times now. She is always well-taken-care of with Michael. He takes her on multiple walks per day and makes sure she gets plenty of outside time. She and his pup get along well, so it is nice for her to have a dog playmate too. Michael sends photos and updates throughout the stay, which is great for when we are missing her. We would recommend Michael to anyone needing someone to care for their pet.”
“We are so grateful for Kaja to care for our pup on such short notice. Kaja was very trustworthy and sent us a lot of photos and nice texts to keep us informed of how everything was going. We look forward to asking Kaja to care for Lucky again!”
About: Hi! My name is Vivi and I love dogs. (Actually, I love all animals!) I grew up with family dogs and adopted my own last year (she's a complete sweetie). I also have a cat, a bearded dragon, and fish. I worked in a local dog daycare and hotel for over three years and loved it! Now that I'm in a graduate program, I couldn't keep up the hours but missed the dogs. My favorite part of that job was walking the dogs and now I'd love to walk your dog. I really enjoy connecting with each dog, getting to know their personalities, taking care of them, and giving them the attention, stimulation, and fun that comes from being together and enjoying the day. I am currently working on my clinical hours for my degree and am busy Monday and Wednesday after noons 1-5pm and Thursdays at the same time and at 7am-10am every other week. Any other time is all good for me! When I take care of a pet, I care for them in any ways that they might need. I have had experiences with reactive dogs, dogs with specific medical needs, young dogs who are practicing training still, and senior dogs. I want to do what is most comfortable for the dog and am super happy to accommodate for any needs that they have when caring for them! I have experience reading and reacting to cat and dog body language and know when my presence is invited by them and when they might need more space. It's important to look for the animals consent and comfort when working with and taking care of them so they can remain as happy and stress free as possible!
“Mariah is incredibly kind, warm, responsible, and flexible. She took great care of Bolo and helped maintain our training protocols (which can be a big ask with a 10 month old pup!) She did careful and thoughtful introductions with her doggies, took Bolo on walks, fed him, and made sure he was comfortable and happy. She also sent frequent updates and photos, so I could relax knowing my little guy was doing alright. Her house is perfect for dogs - she has multiple gates to separate dogs as needed and a big yard for the pups to play. She also lives on a quiet street, so there are not cars zooming by.”
