“Wow simply amazing. Meghan is so kind and took incredible care of my dog Luna. I received multiple updates with photos and it brought me peace of mind since this was my first Rover experience. She took her on several walks and made Luna feel comfortable. I would absolutely recommend Meghan and I’m incredibly thankful she was able to watch Luna on such short notice.”
“Yajaira and her dog Luna are AMAZING! My dog is anxious and often scared. She met me and my dog prior to confirming the booking which worked out well. Her dog Luna is amazing with other dogs and incredibly cute. She really helped my dog feel at ease and trust the situation. Yajaira sent me multiple pictures daily, took her to the beach, administered medications and even gave her a bath. Thank you for taking such good care of her! Yajaira and Luna are definitely my go to from now on for dog boarding :) I HIGHLY recommend her services!”
About: I’ve had dogs in my life for 30 years. I’ve been dog sitting for friends and family for over 20 years. My own dogs have graduated top of their class in puppy training school. I currently work from home, so I can arrange my schedule to make sure dogs in my care get all the love, affection, and attention they need and deserve. I have a small fenced in yard, good for small and medium dogs. My dog is friendly and even shares some toys. I can crate your dog if preferred. I am also within walking distance to a dog park, and an easy drive to dog beaches
“Cynthia was a wonderful sitter for my Esta girl. We had a meet & greet before hand. She was friendly & lovely. She was flexible with drop off and pick up times. She communicated & sent pictures during our trip. We will definitely rebook soon!”
“Leo was so good with my Ice Bear. I was updated with her daily activities and received pictures as well. I felt reassured that my baby was in good hands. I would love to have Ice Bear stay with Leo again. Thank you.”
“Marta took wonderful care of our dog while we were out of the country for one week. He experienced a health issue when we were away, and Marta handled it with careful attention. She worked hard to make sure our boy was comfortable and at ease. She administered medication with confidence and communicated clearly with us as to how he was doing each day. I am thankful that we found Marta and recommend her to anyone looking for a capable, kind, dog-loving caretaker.”
“Bianca was super flexible and patience with my dogs. We had two dogs that don’t get along well with one another and she graciously was willing to host both dogs. The dogs came back happy and slept as soon as they came home! My dogs have never been officially dog sat before so she made us feel comfortable and at ease while she was dog sitting. Highly recommend booking with her!”
“This was my dog’s first night away from home! Shannon and Chris made sure it was a positive experience for both pup and parents! We were extremely happy with the care provided and will definitely be booking again.”
“Maverick loves staying here! They do a great job taking care of our needy pup and their dog scout is quickly becoming his best friend! They are always our first choice for watching our dog!”
About: I've been taking care of animals for quite some time now! I have two senior dogs myself and snakes. I look forward to meeting you both! I usually have a routine with my senior puppies, therefore creating one that suits your dog's needs will be no problem at all! I'm flexible at the moment since it's summertime. I will follow the safety protocols! If there are any additional instructions or care needed that will be applied to the routine as well. Ensuring all doors and windows are locked while all food is put away.
About: Growing up lifelong surrounded by dogs of all ages, I learned to listen to animals and understand their needs as well as ensuring they listen to me and have a happy, healthy time in care. I'm working part time and moving into my apartment, so I'll have lots of time to spend meeting dogs' needs and taking them on walks along the natural routes near my place. I live in a pretty calm conflict-free setting with no children or other dogs to cause stress on anxious pups. I spend a lot of time walking around and I love having a furry friend to join me!
“Susie was very informative, responsive and kind. She sent lots of pictures and updates which helped feeling comfortable with a new sitter for my grandpup. Milo was very well taken care of and we already have her booked for upcoming dates. I strongly recommend her to sit, walk or care for your pet.”
“Hannah was very communicative and my pup seemed to really enjoy staying at Hannah's home. They went on a few hikes, and Hannah sent photos that showed my pup happy and relaxing! I would definitely recommend her for care.”

I want to know the ground rules and what you’re comfortable with to ensure you furry friend is happy.

“Jaden was a great pet sitter. She communicated well with detailed information each day. She even took the time to call me when one of our fur babies decided to hide behind our washing machine. Lucky due to Jaden going above and beyond our cat was able to get back out after Jaden moved the dryer out a bit from the wall so our boy Stormie was able to climb back out after Jaden left.”
“Shylynn was a great cat sitter. The cat was fed and given fresh water daily. The litter box and area around it was clean when I arrived home. She sent so many great pictures of her playing with and petting my cat. She also spent a long time giving the cat attention- about 40 minutes each day. I would definitely book Shylynn again.”
About: I’ve taken care of, and loved, animals since I was a child. Including my own family dog who is now 17, cats, chickens, and snakes. I recently graduated and am missing my puppy more than ever. While I can’t have pets of my own right now I’d love to help care for yours! I’m available afternoons, and evenings on weekdays, and all day on weekends.

I have a fenced in yard and spacious house located within a lovely neighborhood with it’s own little hiking trail for your pet to explore.
“Mamu took care of our two cats for two weeks while we were away on vacation. Mamu was extremely kind and patient with our cats and tought of ways to entertain the cats! We came back home finding the cats happy, home even tidier than befofe we left. Would definitely recommend Mamu to anyone who needs pet sitting service!”
“Lupita was great, taking care of my cats while I was away. She sent update photos and videos, letting me know when she was there and who she saw, which was very reassuring. I would definitely see if Lupita is available when going out of town again.”
About: Hi, I'm Jenn! Having six years of experience as a vet tech, six years of experience caring for pets professionally, and caring for my personal furry companions animals for over 6o years, I bring an exceptional blend of experience, care, and responsibility to my pet care. I have a huge heart for cats and dogs and love to see them happy in their environment. My sensitive nature allows me to be highly attuned to animals and their needs. Others have often commented on my ability to anticipate the needs of people and animals before they are aware of them. I believe in the health and wellbeing of all living things. When your animal is under my care, you can be assured they are receiving the nurturing and care they deserve. I am available for walking, visits, boarding, and more. Please inquire for your particular needs and desires for your pet in your absence. I would be happy to keep your pet loved and safe while you are away. Injections, special needs, training/rehabilitation I am in a very open and expansive time currently in life. I am widely available round the clock for your pets needs. I am available daytime, evenings, and weekends. I do not have a fenced yard on the property I live on in the country, so when boarding with me, dogs will be on leash when outdoors. They will enjoy the many walks they will have around here. When at your home, I take care of your fur baby and belongs with the utmost respect and safety.
About: I’ve had kitties in my life ever since I can remember. Reading body language and acting accordingly has become something I’m very accustomed to. And as a fairly avid dog sitter, I feel confident in my abilities to sit cats. My goal is to ensure your baby’s needs are met and no boundaries are crossed!
“Jasmine was so amazing! She provided excellent care to my cats while I was away and sent many photos which I really appreciated. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Miranda was fantastic. Punctual, personable, and prompt responses. Our cat, Smoke, loved her and got lots of pictures of their visits. Followed instructions, no issues. We were able to take our travel with peace of mind our little guy was getting the care he needed.”
About: I have grown up with cats for my whole life, started to help caring for neighbors cats as a child. Now, I have repeat clients who trust me and see how I have bonded with their cats. I am patient and love getting to know cats at their own pace.
“Hannah has taken care of my cat and chickens several times now and has always done an excellent job! I feel totally relaxed knowing that she will take great care of them and is also very responsive with communication. I highly recommend her!”
About: What can I say? I freaking love animals so much 🥰 I’m a proud dog mom to two pups so I know how hard it can be to leave your babies behind. That’s actually why I started using Rover to find a sitter but also realized I wanted to be that person for someone else. I’ll get to know your baby, their personality, routines, weird little quirks, and whatever makes them happy. Whether they want to run around and play, need a little extra patience, or just want to hang out next to me, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. I’ll send you lots of pictures and updates too❤️ It’s not just another booking to me. I understand they are family and I’ll treat them like my own with lots of love, attention, and probably way too many treats 😅🐶🐱 I do have a full time job, but I have the flexibility to work from home a couple days a week. This gives me the opportunity to take breaks throughout the day for walks, check ins, potty breaks, and some extra attention when needed. I’m also a big believer in leaving things as good as or better than I found them. I’m naturally clean, organized, and respectful of other people’s homes. I manage to keep things under control with two messy dogs of my own, so I promise I can handle yours too 😉
“Kim was great with my senior kitty! She came prepared at the meet and greet and I knew my cat was in good hands while I was gone. She was communicative and kept me updated after every drop in visit. I highly recommend Kim!”
About: I walked my rough collie for the 7 years we had him, and I've taken my friends' dogs on many walks. I took care of my dog as he got older and have immense patience with senior dogs. I'm familiar with different animals' body language and how pets communicate, allowing me to understand what your pet is asking for. I work part-time and have plenty of free time to take care of your pets. I have reliable transportation and am happy to drive wherever is necessary. Dogwalking was the first thing I did in the morning and is my favorite way to start the day. In your home, I'm happy to care for your pet's feeding, litter boxes, playful interests, and any other specific needs your pet would like attended to.
“Cody is an awesome pet sitter! My cats adore him, and I feel completely comfortable leaving them in his care. I know he’ll provide them with tons of love and attention, and keep up with their schedule perfectly. He’s super reliable and follows instructions well. I fully trust him to care for my kitties and my home while I’m away, and it brings me so much peace of mind to know he’s there! Thank you, Cody! You’re the best!”

She shared great photo updates and was a very good communicator during the Meet & Greet and when sharing information about his day. I would definitely recommend her!”
“I will definitely have Hannah watch my two small dogs again. She was very attentive to them, taking them for walks during the day, taking pictures, and letting me know how they were doing. Hannah was extremely accommodating to my needs. She allowed me to drop off the dogs much earlier than the time we had originally agreed on. I had furniture movers coming that day, and they changed their pick up time. She is a very considerate, sweet person, and my dogs were not stressed at all when I picked them up.”

“Anna is absolutely amazing! She helped us out when we had a super last minute request, and even squeezed a meet and greet at our house into her schedule. We have a very, very high energy adolescent dog who is a *handful.* We’ve had multiple dog sitters say she’s the most energetic dog they’ve ever met! Well, it didn’t seem to phase Anna! She was great with Winnie, who seemed calm and happy when we came home (which is saying a lot!). I definitely hope to use Anna’s services again.”
“Libby was great!! She accommodated a super last minute request to watch Opal and was so sweet. We felt very comfortable having her watch Opal as soon as we met her; our pup is timid around strangers and usually has a hard time settling down, but she was able to fall asleep for a bit which was amazing 😌 We would absolutely have Libby watch Opal again the next time we’re in town!”

About: Growing up my family loved and cared for many pets. Now I have a fur baby of my own, my kitty named Pan. I have a great deal of experience looking after furry loved ones and I would treat your babies as if they were my own! I am currently focusing on volunteer work for experience in my field so I have a lot of free time to look after your fur babies! I will respect whatever boundaries you have while taking care of your furry friends! I am a very good listener and I am very passionate about loving animals!
About: I have grown up around many animals rats, chickens, turkeys, pigs, horses, goats, and of course dogs and cats. I have volunteered at my local shelter for the last 5 years primarily focusing on animal socialization for dumped and rescued cats and dogs. I am a college student with hours that coincide with this type of work, as well as I am not in a housing situation where I can have a pet so caring for your pet won't feel like a job more so a privilege. Unfortunately, I can not house your pets and will only be able to do in-house care but I can transport them for fun outdoor adventures to release energy and stimulate their brains.
About: Hello! My name is Leo, and I have been in and out of dog-related jobs since I was fifteen years old. I am only twenty years old and a college student; however, my passion for animals (specifically dogs) is what drives me the most, and I would be as committed as necessary to your pet in all cases. I would provide your pet with premium care to the fullest extent! I worked at AlphaDog Lodging (a dog boarding/daycare) for just under two years, followed by a 9-month unpaid intership at Camino Alto Veterinary Clinic. I have also recently been dog-sitting quite a bit, my longest stay being two weeks. My experience in animal care is to achieve my ultimate goal of becoming a Veterinarian, and Rover gives me the opportunity to keep working hard for you and your pet!

August 28th-September 23rd: Downtown Santa Cruz, free any day, any time! Santa Cruz: I live in a studio attached to a house with a large front and back yard. Our backyard is fenced in and quite exciting for dogs to explore. We get lots of birds and squirrels, and sometimes a neighbor's cat comes by to visit. I would have your pet stay in my room on a cot, bed, or crate (I only have a cot and a small dog bed here). Kenwood: I live on a large property with my parents, where I could bring your pet home, and they could run forever. Everything is fenced in here; however would prefer bringing a smaller dog home. I am very open to staying in your home as well, for a greater price.

I want to know the ground rules and what you’re comfortable with to ensure you furry friend is happy.
“Outstanding. Jenna and crew were avaiable with short notice so we could board our dogs and visit family whose dog won't tolerate other dogs in the house. We will use them again.”
About: Hello! I am a 26 year old grad student attending Santa Clara University pursuing a counseling degree. I have grown up with dogs and currently co-parent a 3 year old pit mix, Levi! I have had extensive experience caring for various breeds, from big (Dobermans, pits, labs) to small (Jack russels, Shiba Inus, etc.)! I am experienced with senior dog care and young puppy care. I am open to getting to know your pups schedule, taking them on walks, and providing longer term care for vacations. I am excited to meet you and your pup! I currently work part time from 10am-6pm Wednesdays through Fridays. I am available anytime Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday and mornings/late evenings Wednesdays through Fridays! I have grown up with cats and dogs, and am experienced with maintaining safety on walks and during overnight stays. I have my own 2 bedroom apartment that I share with my partner, Matt, where I can board your pets as well!
“Teresa is an amazing dog sitter! Our senior dog was so well cared for while we were gone. We got lots of updates and pictures and I’m 100% sure our dog didn’t want to come home. Teresa went above and beyond, absolutely would recommend her to anyone. A million stars!”
“Valentina was a fantastic dog sitter for our two pit bull mix dogs. This was the first time we have left our dogs for a trip so we were a little nervous how it would work out. Before our trip we brought our dogs over to Valentina's to get to know her and her household. This was quite helpful for us and our dogs. For us as we were able to talk and have our questions answered. For the dogs because when we dropped them off this was a familiar place. Valentina touched base with use several times throughout the week to let us know how our pitties were getting along. I was pleased with the care our dogs received from Valentina. I recommend her.”
“Faith was a GREAT dog sitter! Buster stayed with Faith and her two cute dogs. Buster came home happy from playing with his new friends. Faith sent me pictures of Buster while at her home. I would hire Faith again in a second! Thank you, Faith!”
“Anusha took care of our 1 year old puppy when we were in vacation. She kept us informed everyday with lot of pictures. Zoey came home very calm and relaxed as she got enough play time with the whole family and lot of love. She also got a goody bag 😃. Thanks a lot Anusha.”
About: What sets me apart is my 6 years of professional dog care experience, including boarding, energetic walks, and feeding, plus references from satisfied pet owners who trust my attentive service with all breeds and ages, even assisting with puppy training and senior pet comfort. 🐾 I'm pretty flexible! I have pretty much free time, so I'd love to fit in pet care. I can do early morning or late afternoon dog walks, and I'm totally game for boarding or longer visits on weekends. Whatever works best for you! My home is a cozy getaway, spaces to snooze, a big fenced yard to play, and all the love in the world. Each pet gets personalized attention, playtime, and snuggles tailored to their vibe. Think of it as a furry sleepover with lots of TLC!
“Hannah was amazing. She was able to accommodate us last minute for a holiday weekend. She sent us updates along with videos of Archer doing all his favorite activities. We know he was in great hands and will definitely call her for any future needs”
“We are so happy, or, more importantly, Falafel is so happy with Kathleen and her family. She is great with accommodating us and sends lots of super cute pics and videos. He really seems to have a nice time there and he comes home relaxed and happy. Thanks so much, Kathleen☺️”
“The dogs had a wonderful experience. Marina has a large dog run like to your intern where the dogs were able to play all day. I would highly recommend her for a dog sitting. 😊”
