“Tracy and her husband were great with my dog, Ocean! He stayed with them for a week, and they sent photos every day with updates on how he was doing and he had a great time :)”
“Mike is great with dogs. My pup had plenty of walks and playtime with couple of other dogs in the roomy backyard, and he got lots of pets and affection. I would definitely leave my dog with him again.”
“Thor had a wonderful time with Noshin! She sent many pictures of him at the park and cuddled up on the couch. When I picked him up, he was clearly quite comfortable at her place. I’d highly recommend her!”
“Dawn took amazing care of our dog! She sent great photos, videos, and recaps every day. Our dog actually developed an ear infection the day after we dropped him off, and she went above and beyond in coordinating with me to get him to the vet to get him taken care of. I wish I could give her 6 stars!”
“I am so thankful to have found Lucy and her family to take care of Snowball! Lucy and her girls met with us beforehand to make sure Snowball would feel comfortable staying with them. They showered him with lots of affection! From the pictures she sent, I could see that Snowball gets a lot of hugs, head massages and cuddles from the family! Lucy sent a lot of updates and photos of Snowball everyday and he is very happy in all of them! I would trust them to watch Snowball anytime! Thanks Lucy and family!!”
“Courtney was amazing!! She gave Jax so much personal attention and love, sent me lots of photos of him, played a lot with him, and even tried to help him learn new things. I am so thankful we found Courtney and definitely want to use her anytime we leave town!”
“Manli is incredibly kind and truly cared for our dog. She took him on long walks and gave him so much love and attention. He seemed really happy and content when we picked him up. We’re so grateful!!”
“Marivel was amazing on taking care of our Lady. She was flexible, responding fast, sending us pictures while we were away. Lady got to socialize and play with other dogs. Thank you Marivel”
“Our dog Orzo had an excellent experience with Olga! Orzo is a very loving (aka clingy) dog, and Olga did a great job making him feel comfortable and loved during his 7 night stay. We received multiple photos each day of Orzo snuggling on the couch and playing with Olga's dog Charlie and other Rover dogs. The presence of other dogs was a big plus for Orzo. He had so much fun socializing with the other dogs that my husband and I joked Orzo was at "Doggy Summer Camp", complete with a special trip to the beach! Olga was kind enough to monitor Orzo on walks and let us know if he was hopping or favoring a back leg (this sometimes happens to him on long walks). Other attributes that made Olga stand-out as a great sitter include: a house with a fenced in yard (front and back) located in a great neighborhood perfect for walks, a clean and incredibly dog-friendly inside living environment, and competitive pricing! Overall, we would highly recommend Olga as a Rover sitter, and plan to make bookings with Olga (and Charlie!) for future travel. Thank you Olga for taking such great care of Orzo :)”
“WOW, Rachel was an absolutely incredible sitter for my cat Mowgli! She knew how nervous I was to leave him, and was so kind and emotionally attuned. She sent me photos and videos every day that not only helped me feel more secure, but also gave us the opportunity to connect on how he was and how she could help him to feel more comfortable. By the end, it seemed like he didn't want to leave! Rachel is an absolute gem and 10/10 would book with her again.”
“Mora took such wonderful care of my dog over three days. She provided detailed updates each day including photos and videos. She took him on hikes and played with him at the park. He had a wonderful time!”
“Jesse & Kimmy went above and beyond taking care of my high energy dog ❤️. They made sure to understand his needs and I got multiple updates/pictures and videos while I was away! I also got the cutest Polaroid of him as a parting gift! Many thanks !”
“Great sitter, very communicative and reliable! We got many cute photos of our dog. Taylor was also flexible, I initially made a wrong booking and we were able to fix it - I appreciate it. Highly recommended!”

“Cesar is amazing with my dog. Cesar is Always available and flexible to watch my friend, Dro. He sends the best photos while I am away and they seem to always come rIght on time when I’m missing my dog. Dro loves going and as long as Cesar is available, I’ll always have him watch my pup. If you are considering having Cesar watch your dog, just know that they will be in great hands!”
“This is our second time using Karla for our dog. Karla has been very flexible working with our schedules for pick up and drop off. Or dog gets plenty of attention and activity during the day. Definitely would not hesitate to use Karla for dog sitting again.”

We were thoroughly impressed and grateful for the care that she had with our cat. Thank you Ran!”

“Nina & Leo did an excellent job taking care of our 2 cats when we are out. They sent a lot of good quality photos and videos during each visit. I will recommend them to any pet owner.”
“Lisa is the most amazing cat sitter we have ever had. She truly goes above and beyond for our fur babies and makes sure they are well fed and entertained. We have a litter robot that was malfunctioning when away on vacation and Lisa was able to fix it! She is truly a life saver and I hope more and more people get to experience her care with their pets. Thanks for everything Lisa! 10/10 stars”
“Having Marisol as our pet sitter, is probably one of the best decisions we made prior to our Christmas vacation! This is our first time having a pet sitter for our cat Zelda, and hence we're a bit over-anxious about how it'd go. She was genuinely kind enough to drop by at our place prior to our departure to patiently listen and note down our requests and listing of Zelda's needs. She kept us updated everyday about Zelda's activities, attitude and even sent us tons of glamorous pics of her on a daily basis! She even obliged to keep our plants watered and attended to them when they we're withering, all without any explicit requests. Lastly, she ensured to keep our place clean by electing to throw the trash and cleaning a few of our left over items. All in all we can't recommend Marisol highly enough, and would urge anyone considering to have her as their pet sitter to not have a second thought. She's incredible! We hope to have her over again sometime (soon? :-)) Thank you for everything! Zelda misses you!”
“Miriam was the best. She was really communicative and sent us many updates every drop-in. Even when we were traveling and not very responsive. She seemed to have followed the care instructions very closely as Leo was in good spirit upon our return. Would definitely recommend!”
“Ghazaal took wonderful care of my cats while I was out of town. She was super responsive and provided us with updates while we were away. Previously, we were very anxious to travel with one of my cat's strict medication schedule but she put us at ease and did a great job with his morning/evening medication administration, as well as providing TLC, food/water, etc.”
“Josie(Ka) was really easy to communicate and kind to take care of our indoor cat and outdoor cat. She not only just did the regular routine but tried to play with our cat with his favorite treat catching game. We can see our cat got along with Josie after a few visits and started anticipating Josie’s visit. We will definitely book again with Josie next time.”
“Anastacia was amazing with my two cats! They’re pretty shy with new people but they seemed to take to her right away. She was very responsive and asked about specific care details, which made me feel like she really cares. I feel confident my cats were happy with her, and will happily book her again for my next trip.”

“I’m so grateful for Yun and Lina. They really spoil Finley and I trust them completely with my baby. Just last week, I was in the process of moving and things took longer than expected. They were so accommodating and said I can leave Finley for however long. Not sure what I’d do without them! Thank you Yun and Lina ♥️”
“Ru and family are very nice and warm with dogs. She has a dog as well and knows how to handle one very well. She requested a meet and greet to ensure Gabbar and her dog got along. She timely sent pictures and updates for Gabbar and followed his schedule through. She had a neighbors dog come along to her place when gabbar was there for a play date and Gabbar enjoyed a lot. I would definitely have Ru look over Gabbar again and would recommend others as well.”

“James went above and beyond. He is amazing with the dogs, attentive and thoughtful. I watched him manage 5 dogs at the dog park and was impressed with his knowledge of each of their individual quirks and behaviors, addressing them as they needed attention. Our dog had a great day with him. Thanks, James!”
“Boba absolutely had a blast at both at boarding and day care with Florence and her family. She comes home everyday tired and happy which is a good sign. All the dogs look like they have fun from the pictures that are sent throughout the day.”
“Best sitter we've ever encountered for our dog with many needs for her happiness. Well she came home so happy and better yet tired from all the walks which takes a lot. He kept sending us photos of her so we knew she was having a great time. He really understood our dog for not only the needs but her wants. So lucky to have found him.”

About: I've loved animals my whole life and have cared for pets since 2016. I had my own bunny for five years, which taught me responsibility, patience, and how much consistency matters in pet care. Over the years, I've helped roommates, friends, and family with their pets, including feeding, walks (rain included!), baths when needed, cleaning up accidents, playtime, and companionship. While I don't yet provide emergency or medical care beyond the basics, I'm very comfortable with daily routines and making pets feel safe and loved. What sets me apart is that I'm very good at following instructions. I know every pet parent has specific preferences, and I respect that fully. During the first visit, I may ask clarifying questions to make sure I'm doing everything exactly how you like it. I also keep your home tidy and send regular updates with photos so you feel at ease. I'm available weekdays during standard working hours and would love to spend that time giving your pup or kitty attention, movement, and care. I'm currently available on weekdays during standard 9-5 hours, which makes me a great fit for midday walks, drop-in visits, and weekday care. I'm not available on weekends at this time. Since I'm focusing on weekday bookings, I'm able to give your pet my full attention during visits rather than rushing between commitments. Your pet's comfort and your home's safety are very important to me. I carefully follow all instructions, double-check doors and leashes, and make sure your pet is secure before and after walks. I maintain a calm presence and respect both your home and your pet's boundaries. I clean up after pets, keep litter areas and feeding spaces tidy, and leave your home as I found it. Clear communication is important to me, so you can expect updates, photos, and honest check-ins throughout my time with your pet.
“My young, super athletic dog Murphy needed a dog professional to get him out daily while I recover from surgery. Michael has been a huge help in taking our dog out on neighborhood walks 7 days a week. The booking process was really efficient and straightforward. Overall, a super positive experience which I will share with other dog families.”
“Meg did such a great job taking walking our two dogs, one an eager puppy and our cranky older 6-year old. We appreciated Meg’s willingness to meet our pups prior to booking. She updated me with pictures during her visit and showed up within the desired time frame to walk our pups. We will definitely be using Meg in the future.”
“Courtney has been great with my dog. She consistently walks her weekly and sends wonderful pics of her. I appreciate the consistency and how trustworthy she is with my dog.”
“CJ has been extremely patient with my Arrow, making progress with each walk. He's gone from me leashing Arrow to him being able to leash Arrow without me in the apartment in just a few walks. CJ has been open to all of my requests and very accommodating to my scheduling needs as well as my blunders.”
“Molly is amazing! I needed a last minute dog walker and she really came through. My rambunctious pup was no match for Molly's skills in handling her high energy. She was punctual and very communicative and really put me to eaze on my last minute outing, as I was very lucky to have connected with Molly. Will definitely use again in the future!”
About: Hi, I’m Dawn and I have been a pet parent for over 25 years to rabbits, guinea pigs and 4 dogs with 2 of them of senior age. All 4 dogs were raised since they were puppies and they are currently based in my hometown with my parents when I moved here. My intuition and experience allow me to provide your pet with the best care and most comfortable environment away from home, so rest assured that they are in good hands. Let’s chat! I’m mostly available during weekdays from 7am to 12 midnight and certain weekends. Date and timings can be further discussed if you require my services. I have a balcony at home and have space available for your pet to roam around freely if needed. Happy to chat more to see what else you’ll require
“Alexander has walked my dog for two walks so far, and he has been AWESOME. Super reliable, easy to work with, communicative, and very clearly cares for dogs. Highly recommend him, and I’m looking forward to working with him regularly! It’s my first experience using Rover, and I’m really grateful we found Alexander!”
“Octavia is amazing! Very communicative and knows how to handle dogs incredibly well. Her dog training experience is super key and nice to have. She's been able to help our dog already not react as strongly to other dogs passing by. She's definitely becoming out go to person to take care of our dog in San Jose.”
About: I’m a local elementary school teacher who loves spending time with animals. During the school year, I teach full-time, and outside of the classroom I enjoy caring for pets in my community. I’ve been around dogs my entire life. Growing up, I helped walk and care for our family dogs, and as an adult I’ve continued dog walking and pet sitting both here in California and while living in the Boston area. I’m also an experienced cat owner with three cats of my own, so I’m very comfortable caring for cats with all kinds of personalities. One of my cats had significant behavioral challenges, which led me to work with an animal behaviorist and spend countless hours learning about feline behavior. Through patience, positive reinforcement, and clicker training, I taught him tricks and helped him become much more comfortable around people. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or somewhere in between, I’ll care for them with patience, kindness, and attention to their individual needs. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away—and to give you peace of mind through reliable care and regular updates.
“Danielle had been such a great source of support for walking my dog when I have been traveling. She is so communicative and goes above and beyond to help and I can’t ask for a better person to take care of my dog when I am away.”
“Brittany was awesome! Hiro took to her immediately. She asked excellent questions, was responsive and easy to talk to, and really loves dogs. I would have absolutely no hesitation to hire her again whenever I need a dog walker!”
“Emma provided excellent daily dog walking services for a week over the holidays for our two dogs. Emma was friendly and communicated well in a timely manner. She was responsible and always on time. I especially liked the daily pictures of our smilin’ dogs! I highly recommend Emma for the care of your pets.”

I would definitely ask Lia to dog sit in the future.”
“Che and Aurora have been very welcoming for Kenzo. They took great care and followed his routine to the point and gave frequent updates with photos and videos. Kenzo totally enjoyed his stay there.”
“Nina and Leo are the sweetest hosts! They were very responsive right from the first message that I sent them. They were quick to respond and schedule a meet&greet. I really liked how they made a note of everything in writing when we were discussing Salt's schedule, likes, dislikes, preferences etc. These little things show experience and professionalism. I received regular updates during Salt's two-day stay and those messages really put me at ease, since we all know how hard it is to leave your baby behind. Salt received a massage, treats, outing to a shopping center and a long walk at Pacific Shore Centre! It was so heart-warming to see my baby taken care of so lovingly by these two amazing people who truly love and care about your pet and who are well-experienced with pets for several years. It made me smile every time I received an update and photos from them and it made me feel so much better about having to leave him behind, knowing that he was being pampered and taken care of, while I was out of town on a holiday. Salt was happy and calm when we picked him up and slept like a baby after getting back home. Highly recommend this host !!”
“Mel and his family took excellent care of our pup. From daily walks and lots of time playing outside to introducing him to other kids, it was clear he was getting plenty of attention and socialization. Mel was also incredibly communicative, sending prompt updates along with great pictures and videos throughout the stay. It made us feel completely at ease knowing our pup was in such good hands. We’d absolutely recommend Mel to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.”
“Margaret is a true dog person and I felt at ease leaving my girl in her care. She does an excellent job of managing her pack and making sure all dogs are safe and comfortable. My dog is ~80 lbs and has her quirks, so I can't leave her in the hands of just anyone. I am so glad to have found a home environment that my dog is comfortable in while I am out of town and will certainly book with Margaret again.”
“Jifu did a great job taking care of my dog Taco. Taco was shy and afraid as this was his first stay away from family. Jifu was patient with Taco, and he was able to get more comfortable after a day. I received updates and photos from Jifu during the stay. I would book Jifu again. Thank you!”
“James has special qualities that make him extraordinary. I was grateful for his excellent immediate responsiveness, communication skills, openness and empathic emotional reactions My Chinese Crested is challenging and James handled her with wisdom and grace”
