“Alicia and Christian took great care of our dog! We received many updates and pictures throughout his stay and could tell he was in great hands and having a good time. Dallas came home happy, relaxed, and clearly had plenty of playtime and love. We really appreciated the communication and will absolutely trust them with him again in the future!”
“Erica and Ronald were amazing with our dogs. It was obvious our dogs enjoyed their stay and had fun with them. We got lots of pictures and updates from them. We definitely recommend them and would leave our dogs there again, thanks so much!”
“Shannon was amazing with our pup! She made our pup feel right at home. She also kept us updated with many pictures and text messages. We were so grateful for Shannon! We highly recommend her. ❤️”
“Anasteysha and her family were excellent! Our dog Cookie really enjoyed her stay and was able to play with other dogs. Anasteysha was very responsive and sent many pictures/videos while we were away. We will use their services again!”
“Pepper had so much fun. This sitter updated me constantly and sent me pictures throughout the days. My dog had so much fun and felt so comfortable with this sitter. I didn’t have to worry about the safety or wellbeing of my pepper with Gabi. Gabi was super quick to respond to me and asked permission before taking my pepper anywhere. I will absolutely use Gabi again and recommend her to anyone that’s using Rover! This was my first time using rover and this experience really set the tone for the app! Amazing dog sitter!!”
“Heather did such a great job caring for our 2 fur babies while we were on vacation. When she came over to meet them she brought her hisband which I really appreciated b/c he was going to be present during their stay and I thought that was the best thing to do for the situation. They both reacted well during their visit and I knew right away she was perfect for the job. Heather has an obvious love for animals and made us feel very comfortable with leaving our babies w/ her for a week. She was very proactive with her communications and sent lots of pictures during our time away and very responsive to our communications. She took great care of our fur babies and they were in great condition upon pickup. I can't say enough about how pleased we were with our experience with Heather and will definitely use her every time we have to leave them behind. Five stars for sure!”
“Sierra is amazing, Charlie loves her and her family like his own. He has bad separation anxiety but felt instantly at home over there. I never have to worry about Charlie when I leave him with her. Will always book with Sierra when going on trips. Thank you so much”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“I cannot express enough my appreciation and gratitude for Robert. He truly takes such good care of my crazy dogs. Both are extremely finicky eaters and he goes out of his way to hand feed them to get them to eat. He is always flexible with us and he is just generally a very nice man. Plus, he sends me lots of photos and videos and I love it.”
“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.”
“Dana is amazing! You can feel her passion for animals with just the first conversation. I was a little anxious to be leaving my pup with his first Rover on account that he has seizures but Dana took all my worries away. Nacho did not want to come back with us, he loved Dana so much! Not only was she so sweet but she also did a fantastic job grooming my boy. He is so anxious around grooming tools but she was patient and had him looking like a little gentleman. She truly is a gem!”
“Rachelle was amazing! When I arrived, she gave me a tour of the house, let me know how Chevy was going to be taken care of and right away made him feel welcome! Let him off leash to explore the yard and meet the dogs and he felt right at home. Rachelle kept Chevy for 3 days and I received tons of pictures of what he was doing, dog walks, activities with other dogs, and how well he was doing. I am so happy and would definitely book with her again! She will take great care of your dogs, send you updates and keep you informed of everything happening. Whether it’s just for the day or a few days I’d book with her. She had a few dogs that are her repeat visitors making my dog even more at ease!”
“Evan and Tatyanah took great care of our senior Aussie, Sidney! He came home happy, healthy and well fed! They were super flexible and very easy to communicate with. We got updates and pictures frequently while we were gone. So glad that we have found people that we can trust to leave Sidney with!”

“Angeline is wonderful. I trust my animals and home with her implicitly. She is a sweet, gentle soul whom animals instinctively trust. She has gotten close to my shyest rabbits when no one else could. She sends photos and comprehensive updates. She is the best!!”
About: I have taken care of cats since I was about 10 years old. I had two cats at the time and I was in charge of feeding and changing their litter at least twice a day. Once I lived on my own I got my own cat, Felix, then a few years later another cat, Grizwold. Having a nice clean area for the cats has always been a priority for me. I look forward to do the same for your cat(s).
“Tasha was a total angel with Shadow. He loved her and that makes me feel so good when I have to leave him. She is kind, loving and kept everything in the house organized and most important my baby was happy. We have found a new very special friend :)”
“Linda was amazing watching our kitty Puka. She provided detailed messages and lots of sweet photos. We knew our little girl was in good hands and we couldn’t recommend Linda more! Will absolutely use 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!”
About: Although I have not personally owned a cat myself, we live with my mother in law and help her care for her 3 cats. I have experience feeding cats, changing litter boxes, administering medications with syringes, and providing consistent care for cats of all sizes and ages.
“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:)”
“Doris did a great job taking care of my kity while we were away. She was kind and respectful, and cleaned up after her when needed. I will definitely use her again in the future.”
About: I’ve been around cats my whole life. My Mom loved cats and I loved them more. I loved them so much I would watch all of my friends kitties as much as possible. For the past 7 years I’ve been around cats quite frequently and I love giving them what they need and caring for them for other people because I know how important they are to each family they’re apart of❤️
About: I’m patient, dependable, and treat every dog like family—whether that means sticking to their schedule, giving extra cuddles, or adapting to their energy level. I focus on creating a calm, trustworthy, and loving experience for both pets and their owners. Personally, I have had a Cat, and they are the best and reliable pet to have.
About: I have involved myself with 100+ hours of community service taking care of cats at the local animal shelter. I understand the cues and behaviors of cats and know when to act accordingly. Playing with cats is one of my favorite things to do and learning each of their unique personalities make my day! I’m very protective over my cat and ensure she doesn’t go outside and am attentive to any potential hazards. My experience in cats have taught me patience, loyalty, and true care.

“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.”
“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.”
“Alisha and her family took such great care of Jedi! Her dogs made Jedi feel right at home! Alisha is great at communication and understanding the needs of dogs and their owners! She is very easy to get along with and we felt great knowing that Jedi was in excellent hands! Thank you!!”
“Alicia and Christian were great with Rocco. You could tell he had a nice time. They were amazing at accommodating a relatively last minute booking request so super grateful. They were awesome! 🤍”
“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!”
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! I am currently home full-time while homeschooling my youngest child who is now in his teens. Our schedule is extremely flexible, which allows us to work with whatever schedule needs you have. I have a very large, completely fenced in yard with a locked gate. We are taking a break from pet ownership and would love to open our home to care for your animals. I have experience caring for dogs and other household pets of different ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, long or shorter walks, cuddles on the couch, or sticking to their usual routine, I’m happy to accommodate their individual needs. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special care requirements to ensure your pet feels happy and secure.
“Robert was great with Blake and kept me updated with lots of photos, which really helped put me at ease. Blake is a high-energy, big puppy who doesn’t always realize his size, and Robert handled him calmly and kindly. It was clear Blake felt comfortable and cared for, and I really appreciated the communication and attentiveness. I would definitely book with him again.”
About: I have 8+ 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!
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!
“Peace of mind! We never have to worry about our sweet Harper when she goes to Robert’s for daycare. He has a spacious back yard for play and a dedicated dog room she can chill in. He is amazing!”
“We’ve been bringing Marley to May for two weeks now, and we couldn’t be happier! As pawrents, it’s never easy trusting someone else with your fur baby, but May has been exceptional. It’s clear that Marley is well taken care of, and that means everything to us. Knowing Marley is in good hands while we’re at work gives us so much peace of mind. She truly cares for Marley the same way we do, and that’s rare to find. Thank you, May. We’re grateful.”
“Melissa was absolutely wonderful with caring for Biscuit! We were in Temecula for a wedding and she was available from late afternoon to evening. I really appreciated that she was flexible with the late pick up time. Melissa is awesome at keeping me up to date throughout the day care session. It was also great she let my dog roam around to get acclimated to her home and pups. I can’t recommend her services more if you’re in the Temecula area!”
“Amazing was apprehensive leaving a loved one with someone I had never met. Was beyond happy with Rachelle. She sent updates and pics. Wasn’t sure my dog Toby was going to want to come home. He had the time of his life. Thank for treating toby as your own.”
“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.”

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.

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.

Additionally, I’m attentive to any signs of stress or discomfort, making sure your dog feels safe and loved in their familiar surroundings.

About: We have a 6 year old male golden retriever who loves to play ball, nap on the couch and snuggles from his little sisters. He was a rambunctious puppy, so we took dog training classes and he is now a well mannered gentleman. I get to stay at home with my 2 kids (under 4 years old), so we have plenty of time to play and give attention to your dog. You can rest assured your dog will be in the care of a loving family and not left by himself all day long. We have a fenced acre of land for your pup to play. Our Golden Retriever loves company of other dogs and we toss the ball for him everyday. If your dog is small we will keep him on a leash when outside in the yard and they will never be left unattended as there is a small gap in the front gates. We would be happy to take your dogs for a walk on a leash. Your dog is welcome in our home!

“Angeline was incredibly sweet and patient with our dog Zeus. She really tried her best with him and was always kind and understanding, even when he was being stubborn and didn’t want to go for walks. I appreciate her patience and positive attitude throughout the whole experience. She clearly cares about the dogs she works with. Thank you, Angeline! 🩵🐾”
About: My headline is probably my most asked question anywhere I go lol. My family has had a multitude of different pets over the years, so I actually know how to care for a lot of animals including an African bullfrog if you can believe that. I've also been house sitting/dog sitting for friends and family for years. I'm also really good with cautious dogs, I know how to make a dog who doesn't like strangers warm up to me. It might take a little while but eventually they love me. As far as walks go I love walks and who better to do it with than a dog? But I'm also conscientious of heat, where to walk on hot days so their paws don't burn and water for us to drink. I have a decent amount of control of my work time. So I am able to take breaks when needed to take animals for quick walks, playtime, and of course potty breaks. My goal is not to leave animals without these types of interactions for more than 5 hours at a time. Of course for special needs animals and puppies this can be appropriately adjusted. I strive to keep animals at ease by keeping their normal routine. So I often ask about what the animals normal day looks like and plan accordingly.
About: I believe in the freedom a pet has to do their business and for me to be their poop collector. I will help your senior dog get around if they need a little extra help or with your puppy to gain confidence exploring a new area. I have 3 dogs. 2 Senior at 11 years old and 1 younger at 3 years old. They are taken care of first thing in the morning and last thing at night. 1 has many allergies that we care for each day. When helping out at a pets home I follow directions of the owner. If the pet is allowed in the yard I will stay with them while they are playing and or exploring. I clean up after pets if they accidently make a mess or spill some of their food / water.
About: I’ve loved being around animals since I was born and I’ve had quite a few pets. Pigs, rabbits, cats, and dogs I’ve had them all and loved them more than anything. I’ve adopted a lot of rescues and have had a lot of experience with tons of different breeds and ages. Ive owned a few senior dogs and they have a close place in my heart. I’ve had my own dog walking and sitting business since I was 10 and I’ve taken care of a lot of peoples furry babies. I currently have three dogs of my own and they truly are family. ❤️ I’m currently working part-time so I have a very flexible schedule to give your pets the time and care they need. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, walks, or keeping up with your pets routine, I’m very committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Since I have pets of my own, to protect your pets and mine, I only am offering care in my clients homes. I think that pets are most comfortable in their own familiar environment where they can feel secure while their owner is away. When caring for pets in a clients home, I follow instructions very carefully. This includes feeding schedules, exercise needs, medication (if needed), and any special routines for your pets. I make sure that your pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship while also respecting their own personalities and boundaries. My goal is to keep your pets happy, comfortable, and well cared for until you return home.

About: I’ve been an animal lover since I was a child, I was always taking care of family friends pets, neighbors, etc, overnight or just stopping by to make sure they are safe and happy. I am a Tattoo Artist here in Temecula and I make my own schedule! I am free to check in on your pets whether it’s the middle of the day or middle of the of the night I had a fenced yard and a park right behind my house, lots of ways to get energy out. My household does have three friendly cats, one which grew up with dogs and loves to play!
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a home with several pets, primarily Golden Retrievers, and had the privilege of helping raise two litters of puppies. Those early experiences taught me the value of patience, consistency, and creating a loving environment where dogs can flourish. When I was sixteen, our family dog welcomed a litter of eleven puppies, and I was actively involved throughout her pregnancy, the delivery, and the puppies’ early development. One of those puppies became my soul dog, deepening my appreciation for the extraordinary bond between dogs and their families. Over the years, I’ve gained knowledge with caring for puppies, adult dogs, seniors, and pets recovering from surgery. Above all, I make it a priority to help every pet feel protected, nurtured and content while maintaining the routine they’re accustomed to. Whether we’re exploring a neighborhood trail, playing with their favorite toys, practicing positive reinforcement with owner-approved treats, or simply enjoying quiet cuddle time, I strive to make every pet feel like they’re spending time with a trusted friend—not just a sitter. Building trust is one of the most rewarding parts of pet sitting. Every dog deserves patience, kindness, and individualized attention, and I take the time to create a genuine connection with each one. My hope is that you’ll return home to a settled companion with the confidence that they were treated like a cherished member of my own family. I currently have open availability as I am working instacart and obtaining my Yoga teacher training certification. If you need someone reliable and loving to take care of your fur baby, I will be there! I understand that every pet and every family has unique routines and preferences. My priority is to provide care that aligns with your pet’s normal schedule so they feel safe and loved while you’re away. Whether you need drop-in visits, walks, or overnight care, I’m happy to accommodate your needs. I’ll treat your home with the same respect I would my own by keeping it clean, tidy, and secure. My goal is for you to return to a happy pet and a home that’s just as you left it.

About: I don't just love dogs; I know how to take care of them responsibly. 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: 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!
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. Your home will be safe and maintained, mail will be picked up every couple days. I always clean up after myself before leaving your home so that it's as clean as you left it and I respect your home while I'm there. I love animals and I will take good care of your babies while you're gone. I send pictures and updates so you can be at ease knowing they're in good hands. I'm also experienced and prepared to take care of birds, reptiles, and am comfortable taking care of more unusual pets if needed. I’m currently working part time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pets! I’m available for any dates and I m works in the morning on weekends. I’m more than happy to walk, check in on your pup or play with him/her when needed. I am very excited to meet to my new furry friend! You can count on me! My passion is taking care of fur babies, this includes giving them endless attention, love, and making sure all of their needs are met. My roommate and I both have dogs, that get along beyond well with other pups. We work as a team, if one of us has leave to run an errand the other will stay back, to ensure your pup receives constant supervision.
About: I have been dog sitting for about 10 years and have also been working in the dog grooming industry for about 5 years. Love any and all animals! My 8 year old son has also been dog sitting with me since he was a baby and tags along with me a majority of the time. We would love to sit your critters!
“I was surprised by how much I like Joshua as a dog sitter. I’ve been using Rover for 3 years, and have liked all my sitters, but Josh is the best. I have 2 dogs that I spoil, so they can be a little… sensitive? I arranged a ‘meet & greet’ with Josh, and the dogs loved him. Josh is really caring and professional, and asked all the right questions about keeping them happy while I’m away. His head and heart are really in this. It’s great having a sitter who I trust, who’s really reliable. ?”

“Erica and Ronald were amazing with our dogs. It was obvious our dogs enjoyed their stay and had fun with them. We got lots of pictures and updates from them. We definitely recommend them and would leave our dogs there again, thanks so much!”
“Heather did such a great job caring for our 2 fur babies while we were on vacation. When she came over to meet them she brought her hisband which I really appreciated b/c he was going to be present during their stay and I thought that was the best thing to do for the situation. They both reacted well during their visit and I knew right away she was perfect for the job. Heather has an obvious love for animals and made us feel very comfortable with leaving our babies w/ her for a week. She was very proactive with her communications and sent lots of pictures during our time away and very responsive to our communications. She took great care of our fur babies and they were in great condition upon pickup. I can't say enough about how pleased we were with our experience with Heather and will definitely use her every time we have to leave them behind. Five stars for sure!”
“Sierra is amazing, Charlie loves her and her family like his own. He has bad separation anxiety but felt instantly at home over there. I never have to worry about Charlie when I leave him with her. Will always book with Sierra when going on trips. Thank you so much”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“I cannot express enough my appreciation and gratitude for Robert. He truly takes such good care of my crazy dogs. Both are extremely finicky eaters and he goes out of his way to hand feed them to get them to eat. He is always flexible with us and he is just generally a very nice man. Plus, he sends me lots of photos and videos and I love it.”
“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.”
“Dana is amazing! You can feel her passion for animals with just the first conversation. I was a little anxious to be leaving my pup with his first Rover on account that he has seizures but Dana took all my worries away. Nacho did not want to come back with us, he loved Dana so much! Not only was she so sweet but she also did a fantastic job grooming my boy. He is so anxious around grooming tools but she was patient and had him looking like a little gentleman. She truly is a gem!”
“Rachelle was amazing! When I arrived, she gave me a tour of the house, let me know how Chevy was going to be taken care of and right away made him feel welcome! Let him off leash to explore the yard and meet the dogs and he felt right at home. Rachelle kept Chevy for 3 days and I received tons of pictures of what he was doing, dog walks, activities with other dogs, and how well he was doing. I am so happy and would definitely book with her again! She will take great care of your dogs, send you updates and keep you informed of everything happening. Whether it’s just for the day or a few days I’d book with her. She had a few dogs that are her repeat visitors making my dog even more at ease!”
“Evan and Tatyanah took great care of our senior Aussie, Sidney! He came home happy, healthy and well fed! They were super flexible and very easy to communicate with. We got updates and pictures frequently while we were gone. So glad that we have found people that we can trust to leave Sidney with!”
“I remember seeing Savannah's profile when she first started with Rover. I wasn't sure what to do, because she had no reviews yet. Well, I didn't have to think about it for long! Very soon she had so many great reviews, and repeat clients! I can see why. Savannah is extremely easy-going and flexible with her schedule. I know that everyone has their own situation, and not everyone can be so flexible, but I can't say how happy I am to find someone who is this open and easy to work with when it comes to scheduling. Also, Savannah is so warm, friendly and understanding, not just with my dog, but with me, the human! I'm so glad to have found Savannah, and I'm sure you will agree once you leave your dog with her!”
“Amanda and her family are the best! This was my dogs' second stay with her and they were completely at ease with this familiar, safe environment. Amanda sent photos every day of their stay and their faces said it all- carefree, calm, and happy! Thank you, Amanda & Co. for accommodating us again!”
“Stacey was so awesome! She was quick to respond, sent pictures and videos and provided the perfect home for our Milo! I HIGHLY recommend Stacey and will be using her again in the future!”
“Malissa did an amazing job with my doberman puppy! She came back home so happy and during her stay i received multiple videos and pictures of my girl which helped me feel more at ease leaving her behind for the weekend! We definitely will be asking malissa to watch her for any future trips! :)”
“David took such great care of my dog and made me feel completely at ease during the boarding. He was attentive to all of my dog’s needs and it was clear that he genuinely cared and treated my dog like his own. I’ll definitely be booking with him again. Knowing that my fur baby was safe, happy, and loved while I was away meant everything to me! :)”
