“What an amazing experience we had for our first time using Rover and with our first time having Mel watch our dog for us for a few days. We will definitely be back soon. Roxy had the best time. I even received a few videos. 10 out of 10.!!!”
“Our dog Gracie loves going to Sandra’s. When we get out of the car, Gracie pulls me to Sandra’s front door; she can’t wait to play with Bruce. Our most recent overnight visit was due to a family emergency and Sandra took Gracie with less than a twenty-four hour notice. Thank you Sandra”
“Diana was absolutely amazing! She took incredible care of Stark and Rufio over the Thanksgiving weekend, and we had complete peace of mind the entire time. Her communication was a 10/10 she sent daily updates, photos, and even surprised us with adorable holiday pictures of our pups by the Christmas tree. Such a thoughtful touch! Her home was spotless, our boys were clearly comfortable and happy, and she truly went above and beyond in every way. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Honestly, 10/10. We will definitely be booking with her again. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Laurel was sweet and had so much experience! We so felt comfortable leaving Scruffy with her. He was a happy boy when we picked him up! :) She was great at communicating and I appreciated the picture updates we got throughout the weekend. Thank you Laurel!”
“Nadine took excellent care of our dog Gus while we were on vacation. Her home and backyard are the perfect setup for all dogs. She sent us lots of pictures and is a true animal lover! Will definitely be contacting her the next time we go out of town!”
“This was our first time booking with Carola and we had a great experience. Our little Dukey boy loved his stay and hanging out with her pups, Killer and Prince. Duke almost didn't want to come home! 😂 I didn't have phone connection during my time away and she still sent daily updates with pictures, even though I didn't respond. Highly recommend Carola for your pet's boarding needs!”
“Brittany was absolutely wonderful, I was nervous because ive not had ever used a boarding or anything and I just got my puppy and so he is so hyper and into chewing and he even spent the night but she had no worry or anything. She was very interested into puppys routine. When I need to have a babysitter or anything I definitely will keep coming to her. Thank you so much 💓”
“First time users on the Rover app, we were nervous to leave our two doggies, Max and Benito, with strangers for 3 days. Patty and her husband definitely put us at ease from the beginning, they are so welcoming along with their pets. They sent us pictures and updates during their stay, pampered and cared for them as if they were their own, and you could definitely tell Max and Benito loved their home. Max and Benito will definitely love coming back for another sleepover. Thank you both for taking such great care of our furbabies!”
“I would not hesitate to recommend Arianna to anyone considering her to take care of their fur babies. She is amazing, she communicates, cared for my Gio and Boba as if there were her own, sent pictures and videos. They spent 5 happy days with Arianna with amazing care and love! I will be a repeat client with Arianna anytime I need boarding. This home environment with a family was so much nicer than a kennel. I was at peace the entire time on my trip knowing Gio & Boba were in her excellent care. Thank you Arianna! Love from Gio & Boba too!”
“Ashley is great! She’s very good at communicating while she’s in the care of our fur baby! I genuinely feel that Bailey was happy and felt at home. I will definitely book with her in the future! Thank you Ashley!”
“Alex took wonderful care of my dog, Blue. From the warm welcome to the pictures she sent me of Blue during his stay I could not have been more pleased. I was able to relax worry free. Thank you Alex!”
“Our two-day dog boarding with Keota was absolutely wonderful! Our dog settled in quickly and happily interacted with the hosts and their other pets. A huge thank you to Keota and her family for taking such great care of our dog while we were able to explore Sequoia Park. Keota was very attentive, regularly keeping us posted and sharing pictures and video of our dog. We definitely recommend them—an excellent place to leave your beloved four-legged pet!”
“Tania is a great caretaker!! She sent me updates of my pup throughout the day and was always easy to reach. I highly recommend booking your stay with her and I will definitely be having my baby Bruce stay with her again.🩵🩵”
About: I have taken care of pets, cats and dogs, from a young age. I grew up a cat and dog owner and have always loved my pets. I have experience training young dogs for sit, stay, fetch, lay down, roll over, wait, and go. I also regularly pet sit for family members. I am currently not working due to summer break, so I have full open availability. When school starts in August, I will be available evening after 5 and all day weekends. I am hoping to find pet sitting for weekends and dog walks for week days. I currently have a 3 bedroom apartment that is pet friendly. I can take care of small dogs/ cats at my own home and able to take them for walks around my neighborhood. I am willing and comfortable to pet sit in the client’s home and to go to the client’s home to take pups for walks.
About: I have been a dog mom most of my life. More recently I’ve worked with a rescue and have experience fostering dogs . All 3 of my dogs are rescues and they are all very different so I’ve learned that they all their own individualized plan I currently work full time so I am available most weekends for boarding. Sometimes I’m off over the summer so my availability opens up then I have a really big fenced yard and a cozy pet friendly home. I have 3 small dogs who I love very much. My heeler mix is a bit fear aggressive towards new people and large dogs but he is obedient and I am working on socializing him more and I know exactly to manage. I’ve fostered a variety of dogs the last year and he just needs time to warm up to new dogs and people. My other 2 are terrier mixes and have been socialized since they were pups.

“Ginny is the best dog sitter I’ve ever come across, hands down. She is incredibly responsive, very thorough with her communication, and you can tell she genuinely enjoys looking after your dog. It’s always good knowing your dog is being actively cared for when you’re out of town, and I absolutely felt that way within a few hours of dropping Duncan off. I will for sure look to her the next time I need a dog sitter!”
“Elizabeth did a great job taking care of my cat and keeping me informed during her stay. Based on the photos she sent, my kitty had a great time and was well taken care of. Would definitely use again.”
“Laura did an excellent job watching our little guy! She was very professional and maintained excellent communication. Im thankful she was able to help us when our plans changed at the last minute. Excellent job and would recommend!”

“Patty was absolutely wonderful! She did drop in visits for my kittens during and just after Christmas and was an absolute lifesaver at the last minute during our trip. She was punctual, communicated promptly with me and truly went above and beyond in caring for my little babies. She was also very flexible when we had some glitches with food and access to the home. It was very apparent that she truly loves animals and cares for them. Loki and Thor would love to be able to spend time with Patty in the future!”
About: I have been taking care of cats professionally for roughly 2 or so years. I have cat sit multiple times for 2 older cats with disabilities. I've done quick check ins with feeding and cleaning as well as longer check ins to provide medicine, care and love to the not so shy kitties.
About: Specializing in gentle, professional care to elderly and disabled dogs and cats. I started my professional career in animal care at the East Bay SPCA Veterinary Clinic in Oakland. Inspired by the importance of animal welfare, I would complete an eight-week internship at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, where I gained valuable skills in veterinary pre- and post-op care. Following that remarkable experience, I was a veterinary assistant for a holistic veterinarian at a private practice. Later, I returned to shelter medicine as a veterinary technician at the Berkeley-East Bay Humane Society. This span of 25 years allowed me to develop and strengthen my skills and expertise in animal care, specializing in the needs of senior dogs and cats. I am an active foster parent volunteer for Tulare County Animal Services specializing in bottle-feeding neonatal orphaned kittens. I have five cats - it's probably not surprising that they are all "foster failure" Bottle Babies! One cat had an eye removed after it was damaged from severe conjunctivitis. Another cat was born with a leg deformity that impaired her walking ability, so she is my little "tripod" buddy.
“Vanessa was amazing. She came to our house as agreed and fed, watered and changed the litter for the little man. Importantly, she spent time with him and he (3 year old kitty) loved her. She was punctual and absolutely wonderful. She is our go to person!”
“Kailyn did a great job watching our cat while we were away! She was very responsive, sent us pictures and updates during each visit, and took care of everything exactly as we asked. We also really appreciated that she left our house clean and tidy. It gave us peace of mind knowing our cat was in good hands, and we would definitely book with her again!”
“Arianna was a great communicator and did an amazing job with our two cats! She shared not only photos but videos with us and kept us up to date with how they were doing. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone!”

“Abigail was wonderful! She came to our house twice a day to take care of our dogs. We have a Labradoodle and a Lab. They are both high energy big dogs. She took them for walks every morning and spent pool time with them in the evening. They loved her and we are so grateful that she was able to help us out! This was our first time trying Rover and we highly recommend Abi!”

“My cat probably wouldn’t still be alive without Ariel. The vet confirmed a diagnosis of diabetes, just as I had suspected, and she now requires insulin injections every 12 hours indefinitely. I was so afraid that I would do something wrong when giving her the injection… Ariel was so patient with me, explaining each thing she did and why, when she injected her for me… until I finally gave the injection myself WITHOUT her here this morning! She made herself available at WHATEVER time my cat needed her insulin injection, while we worked out the dosing scheduling. Ariel is the best!”
“Christina is an excellent sitter for our high energy pup. Christina takes good care of her during weekly check in visits. Her Rover cards are detailed. She has been a big help to me while working full time and trying to raise a puppy. Thank you, Christina!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I am so thankful I did! Sandra was amazing with my kitten Cheeto. When he arrived he had an adorable welcome sign, she was so friendly and kept me informed with and updates and pictures throughout my trip! It put my heart at ease leaving my little baby for a few days because I knew he was in great hands! Thank you Sandra, I will definitely be booking with you in the future 🥰❤️”

“Laurel did a great job taking care of Zeus. She was very sweet, responsive and communicative with his doggie day care. She kept me updated with the stay throughout day. Zeus had a great time while in her care. I would definitely recommend and rebook again. Thank you again! :)”
“Mel was beyond friendly and welcoming! Receiving updates from our pups showed how much fun they were having. Can thank her enough for accepting our pups short notice and being flexible. 🤍”
“Our 5 month old, very energetic puppy had a great playdate today, starting with a very cute “Welcome” sign, just for her. Beautiful, pet friendly home, with a fenced dog area. We got several videos of her playing throughout the day, which put our minds at ease. It was such a great experience that we’ve already booked an overnight stay.”

“I cannot emphasize enough how great Jeannine was. My girlfriend and I left our pup with her for what was supposed to only be a one day while we toured the Sequoia National forest. But after letting her know we had a vehicle emergency, she offered to look after our dog for the night and even a whole second day and night while we stayed at a hotel and got a rental car sorted out. She kept us updated with plenty of pictures as well, while also making sure Ryder got plenty of exercise, food and sleep. She is an excellent sitter and I would rebook her anytime!”
“From step one Veronica was easy to work with. She was responsive in setting up the dog sitting. My little girl was a bit hesitant and stayed shy but I could tell that Veronica was sweet and patient with her. Great experience. Thank you”

About: I’d be more than happy to welcome your baby into my home! They will have as many potty breaks as needed ,they will be fed, and they will have fun. I aim to give your fur baby the best experience available. I’m sure your baby would fit right in. I offer special treatment/services if needed for your fur baby also! I look forward to hearing from you and I’m usually quick to reply back. If you have any questions or concerns, I’m just one message away. Thank you so much and I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby! I tend to form around most fur babies schedules. Some may sleep perfectly during the night and others may not. So my schedule really depends on your fur babies schedules. I typically like to ask for your fur babies favorite toy or snack this way each pet has a part of home with them. I like to get information on each baby about their typical day at home so that I can try my best to replicate that and keep them comfortable.
About: I’ve taken care of several different breeds of dogs since I was 5yrs old. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to care for their pets while they are away. I love getting to play with them and go on walks. I am always very careful with animals in general and do my best to go above and beyond for them because there is so much that they can’t fully communicate to us. I have always loved animals and am so thankful that I not only get to enjoy my dog but others as wellz I currently work from home and I am home most of the time. I walk my dog in the morning and once in the evening. We play throughout the day in the backyard. I feed, walk, play, brush, cuddle, pet, play, and love your pet like my own. I know how to bathe most dogs as well as use a dryer to dry them.
“Bootleg had his first doggy daycare today! It's silly, but I didn't realize how relieved I would feel dropping him off with her. I loved the pictures throughout the day knowing he was being very well taken care of! My pup is a chewer,and accidentally got to his harness and chewed it up. Alissa went out of way to get a replacement harness before I picked him up! I'm excited to bring him over more ☺”

“Our meet and greet and first walk with Isabelle was wonderful! She was very kind and receptive of our goals for socialization with these walks. I am looking forward to the many more walks to come for our puppy!”

“What an amazing experience we had for our first time using Rover and with our first time having Mel watch our dog for us for a few days. We will definitely be back soon. Roxy had the best time. I even received a few videos. 10 out of 10.!!!”
“Diana was absolutely amazing! She took incredible care of Stark and Rufio over the Thanksgiving weekend, and we had complete peace of mind the entire time. Her communication was a 10/10 she sent daily updates, photos, and even surprised us with adorable holiday pictures of our pups by the Christmas tree. Such a thoughtful touch! Her home was spotless, our boys were clearly comfortable and happy, and she truly went above and beyond in every way. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Honestly, 10/10. We will definitely be booking with her again. Highly, highly recommend!”
“This was our first time booking with Carola and we had a great experience. Our little Dukey boy loved his stay and hanging out with her pups, Killer and Prince. Duke almost didn't want to come home! 😂 I didn't have phone connection during my time away and she still sent daily updates with pictures, even though I didn't respond. Highly recommend Carola for your pet's boarding needs!”
“Brittany was absolutely wonderful, I was nervous because ive not had ever used a boarding or anything and I just got my puppy and so he is so hyper and into chewing and he even spent the night but she had no worry or anything. She was very interested into puppys routine. When I need to have a babysitter or anything I definitely will keep coming to her. Thank you so much 💓”
“Ashley is great! She’s very good at communicating while she’s in the care of our fur baby! I genuinely feel that Bailey was happy and felt at home. I will definitely book with her in the future! Thank you Ashley!”
“Our two-day dog boarding with Keota was absolutely wonderful! Our dog settled in quickly and happily interacted with the hosts and their other pets. A huge thank you to Keota and her family for taking such great care of our dog while we were able to explore Sequoia Park. Keota was very attentive, regularly keeping us posted and sharing pictures and video of our dog. We definitely recommend them—an excellent place to leave your beloved four-legged pet!”
“Tania is a great caretaker!! She sent me updates of my pup throughout the day and was always easy to reach. I highly recommend booking your stay with her and I will definitely be having my baby Bruce stay with her again.🩵🩵”

“Laura did an excellent job watching our little guy! She was very professional and maintained excellent communication. Im thankful she was able to help us when our plans changed at the last minute. Excellent job and would recommend!”
About: Reliable and caring pet sitter with experience feeding, walking, playing, and providing loving attention to your fur baby while ensuring their safety, comfort and happiness. Available Friday through Sunday with flexible availability during the rest of the week. Happy to accommodate different schedules whenever possible to meet your pet care needs. I live in a quiet, spacious apartment with a dog park and lots of room for walks around the property. I lost my own dog about a year ago, so pet sitting has been such a sweet way for me to still get all the puppy love.
“I felt at ease with Manuel because he provided pictures of my dogs when they were eating during the time I specified to be given their meal. He did follow intructions and that is something I look into when booking a pet sitter.”
“My second time rebooking with Anissa. She again did another great job watching over bosco. Kept me updated day to day. Took him on daily walks and was great about working with me on my drop off and pick up time. Will definitely book again.”
“Fantastic pup care! Needed a last minute solution close to home, and Ms. Cassidy came through like a champ! Even had an emergency to attend to that she was able to accommodate with no issues. Our sweet boy had plenty of socializing and play time with the other pups, and got outstanding care during his stay. We would highly recommend this puppy sitter!”
“I had a great experience with Davisha and Donald. My dog Buddy got along really well in their house. It was nice to have two people looking out after him. I will definitely use them again in the future.”
