“Alicia and family were absolutely wonderful to Lily. Alicia consistently provided me with updates and photos. She could not have been more caring to Lily. I will absolutely use her services again! Thank you to Alicia and her family, again. Lily loved them!!”
“Nazgul and her son are so kind and caring. She kept us updated throughout our cat’s stay with text messages and pictures of how our cat is doing. Thank you so much Nazgul for taking such a great care of our fur baby.”
“Erica and Ronald were amazing with our dog chip. They took him in tons of walks, went to the park, and gave him lots of love. They treated him as if he were their own. He LOVED Their dog turbo! They got along wonderfully. They sent picture updates multiple times a day which made us feel so comforted. We HIGHLY recommend!”
“Lori was great in multiple ways. She welcomed Coaster in and made him a part of the pack. We got lots of photos and updates every day, so we knew he was doing well. Large, fenced property for exploring and playing. Our travel plans changed while we were away, and she was flexible enough to extend Coaster's stay by several days, including feeding him her own food after ours ran out. I'm sure he'll love to go back. From our home, she's a little out of the way, but it's more than worth it. We're grateful.”
“We could not be happier finding Robby and Eman! Louie was so happy and I really think he wanted to stay with them! :) They treated Louie like he belonged to them, what more could you ask for!? We are definitely using them again! Many Thanks!!!”
“Sandra took care of my dog for almost 12 days. When we first visited Sandra and her dog Max for a meet and greet, my dog Wolfie immediately wanted to play with Max. They played very well together and I felt comfortable leaving my best buddy with Sandra and Max. Sandra kept me updated with photos and text messages. I would not hesitate to recommend Sandra as a responsible pet sitter.”
“Until recently, we had never left our pup with someone else overnight. When we met Lucy, we knew she was a great fit for our Kona. After an intro meeting, day long sit and then a 2 night stay, we knew she was ready for a 9 night stay. It took a while for her anxiety and walls to come down, but Lucy was so patient and kind with Kona. We looked forward to our updates, especially the videos and photos, and came to call them ‘Lucy Grams’. It was so comforting to see our girl having fun and Lucy’s two pups are great companions. Would definitely use Lucy any time!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Shannon took wonderful care of our dog during his stay in her home. Shannon kept up with walks and routines, and sent great updates throughout our trip. It’s such a relief knowing your dog is in such good hands. Highly recommend and will absolutely book again!”
“Matt and Kathryn are absolutely wonderful with our dogs. Never, in all our years of being pet owners, have we taken a vacation without our animals. But we just got back from a week abroad without any concerns for our pups because we knew they were in the very best care. Our dogs miss Matt and Kathryn and their dogs when they go too long between visits. It's so cute to see them get excited when we arrive. Can't recommend them enough.”
“Dana was super great with my Pit Brewsky! He made himself right at home! She definitely has the magic touch when it came to trimming his nails; he is VERY sensitive to anyone touching his paws/nails and she was able to work with him successfully! She gave great feedback and advice based on his personality and needs as well. Dana will be our go to sitter from now on!! 🤍”
“Rachelle provided a loving, caring environment and was very accommodating. I definitely agree with all the other great reviews. I felt reassured my Ruby was well cared for during her 3 days with Rachelle and her family. I would not hesitate to contact Rachelle next time.”
“Nothing but praise. Susan knows dogs, and all their tricks. Communicates timely and well. The best description I can give, is that leaving a dog in Susans care is like leaving them with a trusted friend or relative.”
“Amazing sitter!! I couldn't be more pleased with Courtney as our dog sitter. From the moment we met, it was clear that they have a genuine love for animals and a wealth of experience in pet care. Our dog, Bella, is usually quite shy, but Courtney quickly gained her trust with their calm and caring demeanor. Throughout the time we were away, Courtney kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us peace of mind knowing that Bella was in good hands. They followed our care instructions perfectly. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog. I highly recommend Courtney to anyone in need of a reliable, trustworthy, and truly caring dog sitter. Thank you, Courtney, for taking such wonderful care of Bella!!”
“Hyun is the best dog sitter, she took great care of my puppy Honey, and even train her to go potty outside finally! She truly cares about your dog, and she constantly gives you updates and photos. It was honestly the best experience boarding Honey with Hyun. If you have the chance to get your puppy a sitter, be sure is Hyun because she really is the best! Thank you so much for taking such a good care of Honey. 💗😊”
“Sarah is great! She provided daily updates and pictures of our boys which was so nice to have as it was our first time traveling without our pups. I was not worried or concerned one bit leaving them with her. She gave them top notch care and even gave me a product she recommended. We will definitely be using Sarah again!”
“It was so reassuring to see how much they loved and cared for Apollo. They treated him like part of their family. I could tell that Apollo felt comfortable with them. We received regular pictures and updates. We would not hesitate to use them again.”
“Six out of five stars! We could not be more grateful for the care Rob gave to our dog Poppy during our 7 day trip. From the daily photos and videos we could see our princess was right at home. Rob's correspondence was prompt and accommodating. His house is super tidy and the backyard is a doggy oasis. Outstanding!”

“Angie was great! This was my first time hiring from Rover and I was super nervous leaving my two kitties with a stranger. Angie came over for a meet and great and I was really impressed with how much time she spent getting to know us and our fur babies. She took the time to learn how to use the kitty-inhaler so River didn't have to miss a treatment. I'm really happy with the care my babies got while we were away. 🥰 I would happily book Angie again.”
“Linda was wonderful, and I highly recommend her. This was the first time we left Mochi alone for 7 days, and because he's such a social cat, I was nervous about how he'd adjust. What I appreciated most was how honest and communicative Linda was. She always kept us informed, and her detailed, heartwarming visit notes became something I genuinely looked forward to reading during our trip. It was so reassuring to know how Mochi was doing each day. I also sent her what probably felt like a gazillion notes beforehand. They were mostly backup information in case Mochi wasn't eating or playing normally, but Linda was incredibly patient and never made me feel like I was being too much. She followed the guidance thoughtfully and took the time to understand him. She also drove quite a distance to care for Mochi, and I'm very grateful for that. Our usual sitter wasn't available, and I was worried about how he'd handle both a new sitter and a longer time apart from us. Thanks to Linda, he adjusted really well. It was obvious that he was not only cared for, but genuinely loved while we were away. We're so grateful for her help and wouldn't hesitate to book with her again.”

“Josh was a life saver for us! We just moved to California and needed someone we could trust to watch our cat and he was exactly what we were looking for! He was so helpful to us, allowing us to still be able to travel and do what we need to do and know that our cat has a friend to look after them while we are away. So grateful for Josh, he is a must book, you won’t regret it!”
“Doris was a life-saver for our Christmas break! She came highly recommended by other Rover sitters, and we're so glad to have worked with her! She sacrificed part of her vacation just to ensure we had someone to check in on our babies over the holiday. She also sent us dozens of photos to let us know that the cats were not just safe, but happy and playful, too!”
“Sean has been amazing with my baby girl! It gives me so much comfort knowing she’s in great care while I’m away. Since my girl is a strong dog I have never felt comfortable with anyone taking her for walks, but with Sean I have total confidence and she is a much more relaxed dog when I come home:)”

“Nazgul and her family were exceptionally warm and attentive with Midnight. From the moment we arrived, I could tell she would settle in quickly and feel at home. Their updates and photos were thoughtful and reassuring, and it was clear she was genuinely cared for. I highly recommend Nazgul and her family to anyone seeking a safe, loving environment for their pet.”
“What a very nice booking! Great experience all the way around. I felt like I've known Eman and Robby for some time after just meeting the both of them. They are extremely nice and very caring sitters for my dog, Sasha. Thank you so much for all the photos and the video to keep in touch through the day. Sasha enjoyed her stay!”
“Shannon to the rescue and always takes good care of Sandy!! Would highly recommend Shannon for all your pet sitting needs. She’s caring and responds right away to any questions you may have.”

“Mal has had a confusing time because his alpha, my husband, died unexpectedly last week, and he's had to move house on top of it. He is a rescue and already had separation anxiety. But he had a great time with Sandra, playing with other dogs, with plenty of room to run around, and was he was happy and not insecure when I picked him up both days. Thank you Sandra! Thank you for loving animals!”
“My dog had an amazing day playing with them and their dogs. Great communication, friendly, available last minute. Thank you. I would recommend and absolutely use them again.”
“I took my goldendoodle to May for daycare. We met beforehand, which I really appreciated because I would have had a lot of anxiety handing my dog over to someone I didn’t know! May was very responsive and considerate. She asked great questions to get to know my dog and my preferences. Her home was beautiful and clean and I felt safe leaving my pup in her care. I would absolutely book again with her!”

I know how much pets mean to their families, and I genuinely care for every dog like they’re part of my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddles, your pet will get plenty of attention and love while you’re away. I just recently went back to school so I am very flexbile with my scheduling.

“I don't think I've ever seen my dog so calm and happy before, after being at a doggy daycare! He obviously got all the exercise he needed. And all the play with other dogs. And all the dog company. And all the human company and attention he could want : ) Thank you so so much Becca!”
About: Hello! My name is Fidencio, (my family calls me John, and you can too). I am 32 years old and have a long history of caring for dogs in my family. In 2005, my Father rescued a puppy from war torn Iraq. He fell in love with Target, our Iraqi dog, while he was deployed there. I remember my dad calling my mom, begging her to please find a way to get Target home, to California, over 7000 miles away. We went to work as a family finding any possible way to get our small puppy back home. Long story short, because we love animals, we got Target shipped to LAX. Target was what we considered an animal refugee. I remember going on the drive to LAX as a 5th grader to go pick up Target, when I first saw him he was scared, being shipped across the globe and being separated from his owner on the journey. But as soon as we got in the car we broke the crate open, we instantly all fell in love. Dedication to protecting a caring for animals is something that runs deep for me. And opening up our home to do that for others is an honor. I’ve attached some photos of Target, our 1st family dog. Looking at these older photos is such a trip! Blast from the past if you will. My Dad is now retired from the USMC and has a service dog jack, who is pictured above. He loves to play with other dogs and is very friendly. Hope you meet you and your pet soon! I am home full time and will always be there for you and your pet! Can be contacted 24/7 and checkup anytime. I’m just a call away. I care for other pets the same I would care for my own. With love, patience, and care. These things come naturally as an animal lover!
About: I recently took a break from dog sitting to focus on caring for my baby. Now that things have settled into a routine, I'm excited to start accepting bookings again! I have 6+ years dog-sitting experience with dogs of many different sizes and temperaments. Personally I have a 85 pound German Shepherd mix, Turbo, a 40 pound labradoodle, Maple, and an 80 pound Rottie/GSD mix named Tater. I thoroughly enjoy playing with them everyday and have learned many training techniques from raising them. I have a great deal of experience caring for a highly allergic and anxious dog. I understand the helplessness that can often come with trying to find a treatment that works. If your dog has allergies/skin issues, or any other special needs, I'm more than happy to help. Rest assured your dog will be given the love and attention they need to feel comfortable in my home. We do have 1 cat (named Sesame) who would prefer to be left alone. If your dog is very reactive around cats this will not be a good fit. I am a stay- at- home mom and my husband works from home, so we can offer a great amount of flexibility with drop-off and pick-up times. Your dog will be supervised 24/7 when in my care. I have a large (2.3 acre), fully-fenced backyard for optimal play! I have three friendly dogs who would love to show your dog all the best sniff spots. We also love going on walks, playing fetch, taking naps, and playing "find it." I've taken a dog CPR class to better understand the warning signs of a dog in distress, and what actions to take in an emergency. Being a pet parent myself, I greatly understand the peace of mind that comes from knowing your dog is safe and happy. Therefore, I will always send you multiple updates, with photos, every day throughout your dogs stay. Please let me know if you have any questions! I'd love to schedule a meet and greet. I can't wait to meet your pup!
“Robert was great! He took amazing care of Baloo and May, kept us updated regularly, and was very communicative throughout the stay. We felt completely comfortable leaving our pups with him and would definitely trust him to watch them again. Highly recommend!”
About: I am currently home full-time while homeschooling my youngest child who is now in his teens. We ADORE all animals! Our schedule is extremely flexible, which allows us to work with whatever schedule needs you have. I have a huge heart and could not live without animals in my life. I am very active and look forward to the opportunity to walk, play and love on your pets! For the past 40+ years I have owned, fostered and cared for dogs, cats, bunnies, turtles, horses and more. I recently lost my Great Dane after a decade of getting to love him. He had DCM since he was a puppy so I have extensive knowledge of caring for that, giant breed needs and know how to track and administer many medications. Being a stay at home mom I've often thought about walking and caring for other animals while they're humans are away at work or vacay! I recently discovered Rover and know this is a perfect fit for me! I am very patient and have experience with all areas of pet care from walking to medication dosing and everything in between!

“Nadia was so easy to schedule with. I really appreciated her prompt communication and how sweet she was with Lucy. Lucy had a great day with Nadia and we look forward to working with her again.”
“Melissa was a life saver in a pinch and was able to sit Roscoe on short notice. She was professional and a clear communicator. She has experience and clear practices for keeping dogs safe and cared for in her home.”
“Erin was great with our boy for daycare! He came back tired which means he had lots of fun! She was very careful knowing he has a lot of food allergies and made sure he wasn’t exposed to those foods!”
About: With 20+ years of animal experience, including working at a vet hospital, volunteering at a zoo, pet sitting for friends and family, and personally owning a dog for 15 years, I have a deep understanding of animal behavior and care. This experience enables me to provide more than just basic pet sitting—I'm committed to delivering attentive, knowledgeable care tailored to each pet's unique needs. I’m particularly skilled in caring for senior dogs, who often require special attention and medication management. My background makes me well-versed in administering medications and offering the extra care and patience that senior dogs need. I understand the importance of comfort and consistency for dogs of all ages, ensuring they feel safe and loved during every stay. Since I currently work remotely, I can pet sit at the comfort of your home. This allows your dog to stay in a familiar environment, which can help reduce stress and ensure they feel secure while you're away. I prioritize your dog's safety, care, and comfort in every way. In your home, I maintain a secure environment by following any specific instructions you provide, ensuring doors and gates are always properly closed, and removing any potential hazards. I give your dog personalized attention, sticking to their regular routines, including feeding, walks, and playtime, to keep them comfortable. Additionally, I’m attentive to any signs of stress or discomfort, making sure your dog feels safe and loved in their familiar surroundings.
“A pleasure dealing with Courtney. She is a welcoming host for man and dog. She is thoroughly available with few, if any, blackout dates on her booking calendar. Ample flexibility in drop-off and pickup times. Very reasonable sitting and boarding costs. My dog was well-cared for and came home happy. Happy dog equals happy, very satisfied, customer. I've booked with Courtney twice and I will definitely go back to her.”
“Trish and her family are the best. My dog gets all of the love when she is over and comes home exhausted and has happy dreams. Trish is a great communicator and sends fun pics through the day so my work day is that much better. Moving forward, I will be making arrangements for my dog to stay with Trish and fam when I am out of town so that I can travel assured my pup will have all of the love in my absence.”

About: Hello, I love to take care of dogs or cats. If you need to find someone to watch your best bud, then I’d be so happy to watch them for you! I have a husky dog I always take to the dog park. He loves it and I’m sure your dogs would too! I’m a runner and would love to take your active dog with me on a training run if you’d like. I would love to give your pets my attention and love! I’m organized and understand the necessity some pets have for consistency. If your pet has a particular route they are used to, or a specific route they like to walk. I’m happy to do your routine! I also am an experienced pets house sitter and can stay at your home, your pets will be comfortable with their usual environment and routines.

About: I have always had a love for dogs. Growing up we had two black labs (big big dogs) and I would do everything with them and just took a lot of pride In making sure they were always taken care of emotionally and physically. Since getting older I have loved taking on rolls of helping family friends with watching or walking their dogs and giving them the same treatment I would give to my own. I currently just moved to the Temecula area so at the moment I do not have a job so I am totally free and open to take on the roll of caring for multiple dogs ! I understand that all dogs are different and some just need a little more one on one play time so that would never be an issue (would never be in a rush)! I also love going on long walks as it’s a form of exercise for me so your dog will never get a bare minimum walk being in my hands:) I treat any dog like it’s my own and I understand what it’s like to leave your dog with a stranger and be so scared of the what if’s so I take a lot of pride in communicating with the owner and sending pics to let them know their baby is in good hands, having fun, and being cared for as they wished! I also encourage cameras inside clients homes because I know that you can never get enough extra reassurance and it’s always good to make sure your animal is genuinely being taken care of as the care taker says! So if you have cameras in your home I will never have an issue ! I love to make sure both me and client are comfortable for their pets best interest!

As much as working with animals is enjoyable and fun for me, I am aware of the responsibility and skill level required to maintain a safe and healthy environment for your dog (or cat). I also know how hard it can be to leave your furry family members behind with a new person, so I'd love to reassure you with daily texts and photos of how our visit is going. I'm a former animal care professional with experience as a vet tech, pet store assistant manager, and groomer, and truly have an interest in the health and well being of your pet. I'm the type of person that double checks and will pay attention to the small details in your pet's behavior and appearance. And of course, I absolutely love dogs. My favorite thing about them is their ability to break up the seriousness of a moment by being absolutely silly! I've had the chance to meet dogs of all types and temperaments, and am comfortable walking energetic, leash aggressive, or nervous dogs. I understand how important exercise and quality time are in making your pup happy. My resume and references are always available upon request. I’m currently working part-time and will have plenty of time to be at home with your fur baby. My hours are flexible and we can work on setting up a schedule specific to your pets’ needs. I mainly care for pets in your home, using guidelines you provide me with. I’m open to boarding requests but do not currently offer this service on short notice.

About: As a lifelong dog lover, I've been caring for dogs since I was 9 years old and currently have a furry friend of my own. With years of experience, I've become the go-to dog sitter for family, friends, and neighbors, whether it's for a quick drop-in or an overnight stay. From playful pups to senior companions, I’m dedicated to giving each dog the attention, care, and love they deserve while their owners are away. Your pet will feel right at home with me! As a hairstylist and makeup artist working four days a week, I love balancing my creative work with my passion for caring for pets on my days off. With a flexible schedule, I can devote my free time to providing dedicated, reliable care for your furry friends. Whether it's a quick visit or an overnight stay, I ensure every pet feels loved and looked after while you're away. When caring for pets in my home or yours, I strictly follow every instruction provided by the pet parent. I understand how crucial it is to stick to routines and adhere to any dietary or health restrictions for your pet’s safety. Having a dog with strict dietary requirements myself, I know firsthand how stressful it can be to leave your pet with someone and worry if they will be cared for properly. That’s why I make it my priority to follow all rules and guidelines, so you can feel 100% confident that your pet is in good hands.
About: ✨ Greetings, and welcome! I’m Eucalyptus—your Fur Godmother. 🧚🏽♀️🐾 Animals have been the greatest joy of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up caring for pets of all kinds, and for the past 8 years I’ve had the privilege of providing professional pet care for families who trust me with their beloved companions. My experience includes dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, rabbits, ferrets, farm animals, aquatic pets, and many other exotic species. I’ve also cared for senior pets, puppies and kittens, pets with special needs, and animals that require extra patience, medication, or individualized attention. What makes me different is the connection I build with each animal. Every pet has their own personality, routine, and way of communicating. I take the time to earn their trust, making sure they feel safe, understood, and genuinely loved while you’re away. Whether your companion is energetic, shy, anxious, or simply enjoys quiet company, I tailor my care to what makes them happiest. Over the years I’ve helped reinforce good manners, redirect unwanted behaviors through positive interactions, and create calm, enriching experiences that help pets feel comfortable in their own environment. Pet care isn’t just something I do—it’s my full-time passion. When your furry, feathered, or scaly family member is with me, they’re treated like one of my own. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your best friend is receiving dependable, compassionate, one-on-one care. I offer pet sitting, house sitting, drop-in visits, walks, and extended stays, making me a great fit for vacations, business trips, weekend getaways, or whenever your pet simply deserves a loving companion.

“Erica and Ronald were amazing with our dog chip. They took him in tons of walks, went to the park, and gave him lots of love. They treated him as if he were their own. He LOVED Their dog turbo! They got along wonderfully. They sent picture updates multiple times a day which made us feel so comforted. We HIGHLY recommend!”
“Lori was great in multiple ways. She welcomed Coaster in and made him a part of the pack. We got lots of photos and updates every day, so we knew he was doing well. Large, fenced property for exploring and playing. Our travel plans changed while we were away, and she was flexible enough to extend Coaster's stay by several days, including feeding him her own food after ours ran out. I'm sure he'll love to go back. From our home, she's a little out of the way, but it's more than worth it. We're grateful.”
“Sandra took care of my dog for almost 12 days. When we first visited Sandra and her dog Max for a meet and greet, my dog Wolfie immediately wanted to play with Max. They played very well together and I felt comfortable leaving my best buddy with Sandra and Max. Sandra kept me updated with photos and text messages. I would not hesitate to recommend Sandra as a responsible pet sitter.”
“Matt and Kathryn are absolutely wonderful with our dogs. Never, in all our years of being pet owners, have we taken a vacation without our animals. But we just got back from a week abroad without any concerns for our pups because we knew they were in the very best care. Our dogs miss Matt and Kathryn and their dogs when they go too long between visits. It's so cute to see them get excited when we arrive. Can't recommend them enough.”
“Dana was super great with my Pit Brewsky! He made himself right at home! She definitely has the magic touch when it came to trimming his nails; he is VERY sensitive to anyone touching his paws/nails and she was able to work with him successfully! She gave great feedback and advice based on his personality and needs as well. Dana will be our go to sitter from now on!! 🤍”
“Rachelle provided a loving, caring environment and was very accommodating. I definitely agree with all the other great reviews. I felt reassured my Ruby was well cared for during her 3 days with Rachelle and her family. I would not hesitate to contact Rachelle next time.”
“Amazing sitter!! I couldn't be more pleased with Courtney as our dog sitter. From the moment we met, it was clear that they have a genuine love for animals and a wealth of experience in pet care. Our dog, Bella, is usually quite shy, but Courtney quickly gained her trust with their calm and caring demeanor. Throughout the time we were away, Courtney kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us peace of mind knowing that Bella was in good hands. They followed our care instructions perfectly. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog. I highly recommend Courtney to anyone in need of a reliable, trustworthy, and truly caring dog sitter. Thank you, Courtney, for taking such wonderful care of Bella!!”
“Sarah is great! She provided daily updates and pictures of our boys which was so nice to have as it was our first time traveling without our pups. I was not worried or concerned one bit leaving them with her. She gave them top notch care and even gave me a product she recommended. We will definitely be using Sarah again!”
“Six out of five stars! We could not be more grateful for the care Rob gave to our dog Poppy during our 7 day trip. From the daily photos and videos we could see our princess was right at home. Rob's correspondence was prompt and accommodating. His house is super tidy and the backyard is a doggy oasis. Outstanding!”
“Tricia and her family treated Iko like part of the family. She sent me plenty of updates and pictures, Iko looked very comfortable and at home there. Having a senior dog, it’s very hard for me to leave him, but I felt at ease leaving him Tricia. Already planning on booking his next stay with her!”

“Erica quickly bonded with my dogs (3) and has provided excellent care. She is very caring and conscientious. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, caring and knowledgeable person to care for their pet. Her rates are very reasonable, and she provides exceptional service. I was in a serious pinch. Erica was so quick to except my request. I’m glad with how everything worked out.”
“Michele is the best dog sitter! I could tell they were well taken care of by her and she gave them lots of love! She sent pictures every day and they looked so happy. I will definitely use her the next time I go out of town!”

“Tatyanah and Everardo watched our dog Nova for five nights and took such wonderful care of her. They are so friendly and you can tell right away they love dogs. It was such a relief to know she was being loved and well cared for while we were on vacation. They have a spacious yard, and Nova especially enjoyed playing with their two dogs—she bonded quickly with Jojo! They took her on plenty of walks and kept us updated with lots of videos and pictures, which we really appreciated. We would absolutely love for them to watch her again next time we need a dog sitter!”
“Thank you so much Morgan and Jack for taking care of our Karl! You made him feel at home and us at ease during the whole time! I cannot imagine better care for our boy, and feel so lucky we found you. Thank you, Darinka, Krassy and Kristine.”
