“Cedric is amazing with Mitsy! She’s always happy to go by to see her friends Hazel and Nala, and Cedric keeps me updated with all the fun times so I don’t have anything to worry about. She always comes home with a big smile, and sleeps the rest of the day away! Leaving Mitsy in such a loving environment is a great comfort, and they are my go-to for doggy care!”
“Sade is great and responded to a last minute request. She was communicative, and she responses very quickly. Her home is organized and clean, and her two fur babies are adorable. Trina stayed with her for one night and was well taken care of. I would come back again, thanks Sade!”
“My dog had an amazing time at Erin‘s house. I received very many updates and pictures. When I picked my dog up, he was very chill and relaxed. Would definitely use Erin’s services again if I’m heading out of town and need a sitter.”
“Booking our pups stay with Chelsi was the best. Chelsi went above and beyond to cater to Gracie’s needs and made sure she was comfortable & followed her routine. She shared photos and videos with us constantly & we were able to feel so comforted seeing our Gracie girl so happy and so loved. 10/10 experience and we cannot wait to book with Chelsi again!”
“Absolutely Wonderful Dog Sitter! We couldn’t be more grateful for the amazing care our dog Chewy received. From the start, it was clear that she genuinely cared about his well-being. Chewy was feeling down and wasn’t eating much, which had us worried. Not only did she keep us updated with regular photos and messages, but she also went the extra mile by asking if she could cook him some liver to mix with his food to help encourage him to eat. Thanks to her kindness and attentiveness, Chewy perked up by the third day—he was running around and playing again! It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in such loving and capable hands. We felt like she treated Chewy as if he were her own dog. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who truly goes above and beyond!”
“Danielle was so good with my baby and VERY patient. She has lots of her own babies to play with which was nice as well. She was very communicative and I felt comfortable with all of her updates. I would definitely use her again!”
“This is the second time Kazue has watched our dog Coco and takes excellent care of her. Coco could be a handful because she loves being held and around people constantly. Kazue updates us with photo and video and we know Coco is well taken care of. Thank you Kazue for the excellent care and peace of mind.”

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I've cared for my own dogs as well as those belonging to friends, family members, and rescue organizations. I am currently volunteering as a transport driver for NorCal Boxer Rescue and Gettin' Home Transport, giving me experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. From energetic puppies to gentle giants like St. Bernards, I've worked with a wide variety of dogs and understand that each one has unique needs, routines, and temperaments. My goal is always to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home while they're in my care. I am retired after 42 years with the federal government. I spend most of my time at home with my retired husband, allowing me to provide plenty of supervision, companionship, and attention throughout the day. Aside from occasional errands, I’m available to ensure your dog(s) receives consistent care and affection. Our home is designed with dogs' comfort in mind. We have a large, grassy, fully fenced backyard and a dog door that allows dogs to come and go freely at their own pace. In addition, I regularly take dogs outside for potty breaks throughout their stay. Dogs are treated like family here and are welcome on the furniture and beds. We provide pet stairs to help them safely access couches and beds, making them feel as comfortable as they would in their own home.

Providing a safe, secure, and loving environment is my top priority. Our large, fenced backyard offers plenty of space for exercise, play, and relaxation. We also share our home with two friendly, long-haired, five-year-old Dachshunds who enjoy the company of visiting dogs. We strive to maintain a calm, welcoming atmosphere where dogs can settle in comfortably and enjoy their stay. We provide extra dog beds for guests, and if your dog prefers or requires a crate, you're welcome to bring your own. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, cuddling on the couch, relaxing in the yard, or simply being around caring people, they'll receive personalized attention and plenty of love while you're away.

“We are SO happy we found Lydia for Jack, our 3.5 year old lab! She's the BEST! We were out of town for a week, and hated to leave him that long, but as soon as we met her, I knew we were in the right place. Our dog tends to be anxious when we are gone, and she understood that and even slept with him so he would be more comfortable! Her house and yard are very dog friendly, and she treated him like one of the family...we appreciated the updates and photos all week, and when our flight home was cancelled, she was so gracious to let him stay an extra night on very short notice. We are very grateful to her and hope shes available when we need to be out of town again, many thanks Lydia!”

About: Hi! I’m Jasmine, new to Rover and currently offering discounted rates while I build my reviews. I provide attentive, reliable care and treat every pet like my own. Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them truly makes me happy. I have over 20 years of experience, training in pet first aid, and a background in rescue and fostering, so I’m comfortable with everything from playful pups to shy or senior pets who just need a little extra patience and love. At home, I have two dogs and a cat of my own, so I completely understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I also offer house sitting and light cleaning, so not only are your pets taken care of, you’ll come home to a tidy, well-looked-after space too. I’m happy to help with things like bringing in mail, keeping things clean, and making sure everything runs smoothly while you’re gone. Expect lots of updates, cute moments, and peace of mind knowing your pets (and home!) are in good hands 💛 I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve throughout the day. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and house sitting, and can easily fit into your pet’s normal routine to keep things consistent and stress-free. Whether your pet needs early mornings, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles, I’ve got it covered! I provide care in your home so your pets can stay comfortable in their own space and routine. I take the time to learn each pet’s needs, personality, and preferences to make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for. With experience in pet first aid, rescue, and fostering, I’m comfortable handling a variety of situations and always prioritize safety. I’m also respectful of your home and happy to help keep things tidy, bring in mail, and make sure everything is just as you left it, or better, when you return. You’ll get regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your pets are getting lots of love and attention while you’re away 🐾 I am happy to meet at a coffee shop prior to your booking so you can ensure I'm the right fit!
About: I have taken care of cats for many years and am very much a cat person. I have experience with cats of any age, from kittens to seniors. I have experience giving medication to cats, training cats (my own cat knows several commands and I am willing to work with your cat on some as well if you’d like!), as well as the general feeding, playing with, and grooming cats. I have taken care of breeds of all kinds with different needs, as well as cats requiring daily medications or with special needs.
“Jazmine took great care of my cat last minute while I was away. She’s very responsive and communicates clearly and I appreciated the notes left when my cat hid from her the entire time so pictures weren’t an option. World definitely rebook Jazmine next time I need a pet sitter.”
About: I have lived with and cared for my own and family cats most of my life. I have learned many ways to give cats oral medications and I have given my cat subcutaneous vitamin B12 injections. I volunteered with a cat rescue where I fostered kittens and adult cats … some with health issues and some with behavioral issues. I have also volunteered cat sitting for friends in the past.
“Jenna was great for checking in on my pup while I was at work! She took lots of photos and a video of their time at the park. It’s easy to tell she genuinely enjoys taking care of pets and spending time with them. I’ll definitely continue having her take care of my pets!”
“Samantha was fantastic! My cat seemed to really enjoy hanging with her and she was very responsive and a great photographer too. I would definitely recommend her!”
“I can’t recommend Dylan enough! He took such wonderful care of all three of my babies while I was out. He was attentive, reliable, and clearly love animals. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me total peace of mind. My pets were happy, healthy, and clearly well-loved. I’ll definitely be using him on repete.”
“Brandy was phenomenal. She took great care of our fur babies. She sent us daily updates with photos. Knowing our home and pets were being so well cared for allowed us to throughly enjoy our vacation. I will definitely book again with Brandy 😁”
About: I have experience caring for cats with different personalities and needs. I’m comfortable with feeding, cleaning litter boxes, playing, and making sure cats feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that some cats love attention while others prefer space, and I always try to follow their normal routine to keep them happy and stress-free.
About: Cats have always held a special place in my heart. I love their unique personalities, their quirky habits, and the trust they give when they feel safe and comfortable. I know that every cat is different, and I genuinely enjoy taking the time to get to know each one for who they are. When caring for your cat, I don't just stop by to feed them and clean the litter box. I spend time with them, learn their routine, and make sure they feel cared for while you're gone. Whether your cat is playful and outgoing, shy and reserved, or somewhere in between, I'll meet them where they are and provide the attention and care that makes them feel most comfortable. I understand how hard it can be to leave your cat behind, even for a short trip. As a pet owner myself, I know the peace of mind that comes from knowing someone is treating your pet with genuine kindness and care. That's why I make it a priority to keep you updated with photos and messages so you can see how your cat is doing and know they're in good hands. Some cats want lots of playtime and affection. Others simply want a calm, friendly presence and someone who respects their space. Whatever your cat needs, I'm happy to provide it. My goal is to make their time without you as comfortable and stress free as possible. I treat every cat as if they were my own with patience, love, and plenty of attention. It would be a privilege to care for your furry family member and earn both your trust and theirs.
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my experience, versatility, and special skills. Not only do I currently dog sit and house sit for three families on an as-needed basis, but I also bring a wealth of experience in handling dogs of all ages and needs. I’m skilled at training puppies, which includes basic obedience and socialization techniques. Additionally, I’m comfortable with senior dogs, providing them with extra care and attention to meet their specific health and mobility needs. My commitment to understanding each dog’s unique personality and routine ensures they feel safe, loved, and well-cared for while you're away. I currently work full-time in a community-based job where I have the flexibility to create my own schedule. I like to tailor my schedule around my needs for the week, with weekends being when I have the most availability. My current families prefer that I stay in their home, and I’m open to doing the same with other families as well When caring for pets in my client's home, I make sure to follow any specific instructions or routines the family has established. I ensure pets are fed on time, given fresh water, and get the appropriate amount of exercise and attention. I also monitor their health, administer any needed medications, and keep the environment safe and clean. If there are specific needs or requests for the pets, I prioritize those to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for in the absence of their owners

About: Senior care of my Luna dog with kidney failure and five years volunteering at Front Street Animal Shelter. My dog Sugar is a foster fail. I Iprovide pet care for my two dogs on a daily basis and will provide are for the dogs I watch according to owners instructions. I want my clients dog to feel as comfortable as they do at home providing love and care. I have a fenced in yard back and front. There are no children living in my house so my home is peaceful and quiet.
“Cedric was amazing!!! Hands down the best doggy care one could ask for. He consistently kept me updated about what they had done for the day. Thank you again Cedric!!”
About: I started volunteering at the Antioch Animal Shelter in the 4th grade. Since then I have volunteered at numerous shelters and rescues, including the emergency animal shelter in Oroville after the Camp Fire. I'm Disaster Animal Rescue Team (D.A.R.T.) trained, animal CPR and first aid certified, and have years of TNR experience. I have had many exotics as pets, including a reef tank at one time. I have no issue feeding crickets and worms, but I can't feed snakes rodents. I'm a lifelong vegetarian, so that would traumatize me. Lol. I also love rodents, and currently have 2 rescue guinea pigs. Animal care and nutrition are a passion of mine. I'm also an expert teeth brusher! I brush my cats and dogs teeth every night and some of my pet sits as well. I'm very experienced giving medication, even pills to cats and my recently adopted cat Ricky is diabetic. Two of my regular cats I sit take meds, and one gets insulin injections, so I'm very comfortable with both and also know how to check blood glucose. Animals are allowed on the furniture in my home, even the bed. A couple of dogs I regularly sit sleep in the bed with me and my dogs. I treat other people's furbabies the way I would want my furbabies treated. I'm a helicopter pet parent so I totally understand how hard it is to trust someone with the ones you love. If I ever thought something was wrong with your pet I would notify you asap, and I have no issue taking an animal to the vet. I have a rescue dog who has occasional seizures and a rescue kitty with kidney disease that I give sub-q fluids to every day, so I am very comfortable with special needs animals. I'm pretty OCD when it comes to pet care. I actually have a pet thermometer and carry a microchip reader in my truck with an extra leash. You'd be surprised how many times I've used that chip reader! Being a helicopter pet parent I NEVER EVER leave an animal outside alone, not even in my fenced in yard. I don't take chances. I'm also obsessively clean, so your litter box will not be a hot mess when you return, and if your dog uses a potty pad no problem. I also have waterproof vinyl plank flooring so accidents and kitty puke is easy to clean up. :-D. When I board animals it is very much mi casa esu casa! I'm also more than happy to water plants when I do drop-ins as well, since I have them myself and am also a gardener. :-) I work from home 3 days a week and the other 2 days I come home for lunch since the office is only 2.5 miles from my house. I'm home most weekends as well. I follow the care instructions to the letter. If your pup requires a crate it must be brought with them, since mine are not crated. I am comfortable giving medication and supplements, measuring food, following a raw food diet, feeding exotics, etc. I'm also comfortable grooming for an extra fee, but will never ignore a mat in their fur or charge extra for daily grooming like toothbrushing.
About: Hello, we are Natalie & Chau. I, Natalie, was a teacher who is certified in CPR. I have my bachelors in psychology and worked as a supervisor and teacher for developmentally disabled adults and teenagers. However my passion had always been about animals ever since I was 5 years old. So now I am living my dream surrounded by animals of all kinds! Both my partner and I work from home so there is always someone home and it’s double the fun! My family and I are well versed in dog training methods and are very well adapted towards handling multiple dogs at once. We live on a mini 1 acre farm so your dogs can experience a mini vacation/retreat while they’re here. It is also very therapeutic for dogs who have anxiety as we have small farm animals and our garden for them to enjoy. On days when the weather is good we like to be in the yard to play off-leash and they can spend time with my dogs indoors as well. During the afternoon we stay indoors and then they will spend the night with me in my room. There will be naps involved and lots of love! We have just moved three years ago and we are finally reopen to new doggy friends from around the area. We are not doing in house meet and greets due to safety reasons but we can meet you at the local park nearby! I’m home all the time so they would be with me 24/7 unless I’m out on an errand. I will not ever leave dogs alone in the car without me. I have an acre of fenced yard. If your dog is more of a hunter than a lover of small animals such as a chicken we would be leashed to walk around the property. There is plenty of space!

We’d love to love on your pets while we work as a family to give the best attention and care. We believe that the best way to love and enjoy our furry friends is the same way we operate as a family with love , respect, & boundaries.

“Nicole was and is very accommodating and genuinely comes off as an animal lover which was very wonderful to find. It’s not easy leaving your fur babies with strangers but she went out of her way to make mine feel welcome and make sure that she didn’t overwhelm him. I fully plan on using her services again and would wholeheartedly recommend her if any of you are interested in a good dog sitter.”
“Nicole was very accommodating for Pumpkin's stay. Was able to give meds, and kept Pumpkin calm after her surgery. Also sent lots of pics. Will definitely be booking with her again.”

“Shang was amazing with my dogs. She was always on time and communicated when she arrived at my house. One of my dogs requires more time to get comfortable with and Shang was very patient with him. She understood their own comfortability levels which allowed them to trust her. I can tell that the dogs are fond of her from the smiles in the photos she sends me! Shang is reliable, caring and I would recommend her to anyone looking for help with the pups!”

About: I’ve loved dogs and animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I spent time around my aunt’s Golden Retriever and was always excited to meet and spend time with animals. In high school, I had my own Chihuahua named Aurora, which gave me experience with daily feeding, care, and companionship. I also fostered a Pit Bull from a local animal shelter during a time when the shelter was overcrowded and needed temporary foster homes. While living in Hawaii, I helped care for my cousin’s Chihuahua, Brownie, as part of my everyday routine. I fed her, cleaned up after her, spent time with her, and took her on walks, beach outings, and car rides. More recently, I’ve spent time caring for a senior rescue Pit Bull, Tyson, who has experienced neglect and multiple owners. My experiences have taught me that every dog deserves patience, kindness, and understanding. I enjoy helping pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while their families are away. I currently have an open schedule for the summer and am available throughout June, July, and most of August. This flexibility allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Whether your dog needs walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, or companionship, I can provide reliable care that fits your pet’s routine. I also understand that pet care needs can vary, so I do my best to accommodate scheduling requests whenever possible. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I’ve been around dogs of different breeds and personalities, including Chihuahuas, Pit Bulls, and Huskies. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own and keep you updated throughout their stay.
“As first-time Rover users, we chose Alexandra and all we can say is Alexandra is the best! She is extremely prompt & communicative and was eager to help us navigate the app and Rover support when we realized we were being charged holiday fee outside of the holiday period. You can tell she genuinely cares about the pets she cares for while the owners are away. Thanks Alex!”
About: I have always had a passion for animals, and I even have a few pets of my own! I have 5 cats between my sister and I, and they have the biggest variety of personalities. I took a break from pet care due to moving and job changes throughout the years but I’ve always loved caring for people’s pet babies. I used to work as a Dog Camp Counselor back in my hometown, and that was one of the most rewarding experiences to date. Family, friends, and friends of friends always come to me when they’re in need to pet sitting or caring, and rest assured the care of your loved one is always in the forefront of my mind. My current schedule is very flexible to even the earliest of times, so don’t be afraid to reach out! I live in Fairfield but have no issue driving to neighboring cities. I prefer to go to clients’ homes, and with that I make sure to obtain detailed instruction on how to care for their furry friends
About: I care deeply about every pet’s wellbeing, drawing from experience caring for people and animals to give each one gentle, attentive, and truly loving support. My flexible schedule gives me plenty of time to care for your pets. I offer weekend boarding and weekday care after 3 pm, with earlier times available upon request. We treat our pet like family and yours will be no exception. Trust that your pet will have company and plenty of space to play.
“Natalie is so kind, patient, and reliable. My dog Sage is a rescue dog and needs a very calm, gentle, and consistent approach. She’s never hesitated to make my dog feel comfortable, I will continue to book with Natalie whenever I need her to help me out with Sage! She’s great.”
“Jennifer and James are super responsive and always very accommodating, even when I’ve had to book a walk or drop-in visit at the last minute. They really care about my dog and do a wonderful job looking after her.”
About: I grew up on a farm, animals galore. I was always with the animals, they are incredible companions, as well as teachers. I have been on the birthing end of Dogs, Birds, Fish, Turtles Horses, Cows and sheep. Unfortunately I have been on the departure side as well. My love of animals is only second to my love of Life. When your pets are under my care, rest assured that I will act as an extension of you. I also have a very extensive medical education, no not vetinary, but this is the one time I am glad they can't talk. People give way to much information, where as animal will give you indications as to the possible problems. It has been my experience that diet is usually the culprit, but not always. Thanks from one Animal Lover to their Owners. half of the question is blocked so I am not sure what I am describing? i think its asking how does pet care fit into my schedule. it's part of the job. make sure all exits are secure, and that water and food are available, for cats, I would check their box for clumps. Any other critters would be treated according to there familial traits.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments for over 10 years. I’m experienced with puppies, senior dogs, feeding routines, walks, bathing, and giving lots of love and attention. Pet care fits easily into my routine. I currently don’t work but I am enrolled in college so I have flexible availability during weekdays and weekends for boarding, walks, and drop-ins. I provide a safe, calm, and clean environment. I have a fenced yard and closely supervise pets at all times. I follow instructions carefully and can crate pets if needed.
About: I've always believed that pets are family, and when they're in my care, that's exactly how I'll treat them. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. Whether I'm taking your dog for a walk, stopping by for a drop-in visit, or staying in your home while you're away, my focus is on making your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I take the time to learn their routine, personality, favorite activities, and anything that helps them feel at ease. Every pet is unique, and I love getting to know what makes each one special. I understand that being away from your pet can be stressful. That's why I provide regular updates, photos, and messages so you can relax knowing they're happy and well cared for. I want you to feel connected and reassured every step of the way. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals whether that's playing fetch with an energetic pup, taking a leisurely walk, offering extra cuddles on the couch, or simply keeping a nervous pet company until they feel comfortable. Building trust with animals is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do. My goal is not just to care for your pet's basic needs but to provide companionship, attention, and affection while you're away. I want them to look forward to our time together and feel loved, even when they miss you. Thank you for considering me to care for your pet. I would be honored to earn your trust and become someone both you and your pet can rely on whenever you need a helping hand. I genuinely love spending time with animals and make sure each pet receives plenty of attention, care, and companionship. My goal is always to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I follow each pet's regular routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, litter box or potty breaks, and any special instructions. My goal is to provide attentive, reliable care while helping pets feel comfortable and secure in their own environment.
“I'm so happy to have found Samantha to walk my dog while I'm at work. She responded to my initial request almost immediately and has been very responsive ever since. I needed someone on short notice and Samantha was super accommodating which was a relief. She was great with my dog at the meet and greet and I know she'll be great with her every time! She's wonderful to work with and I'm looking forward to my dog seeing her on a regular basis.”

“Cedric is amazing with Mitsy! She’s always happy to go by to see her friends Hazel and Nala, and Cedric keeps me updated with all the fun times so I don’t have anything to worry about. She always comes home with a big smile, and sleeps the rest of the day away! Leaving Mitsy in such a loving environment is a great comfort, and they are my go-to for doggy care!”
“Sade is great and responded to a last minute request. She was communicative, and she responses very quickly. Her home is organized and clean, and her two fur babies are adorable. Trina stayed with her for one night and was well taken care of. I would come back again, thanks Sade!”
“Booking our pups stay with Chelsi was the best. Chelsi went above and beyond to cater to Gracie’s needs and made sure she was comfortable & followed her routine. She shared photos and videos with us constantly & we were able to feel so comforted seeing our Gracie girl so happy and so loved. 10/10 experience and we cannot wait to book with Chelsi again!”
“Absolutely Wonderful Dog Sitter! We couldn’t be more grateful for the amazing care our dog Chewy received. From the start, it was clear that she genuinely cared about his well-being. Chewy was feeling down and wasn’t eating much, which had us worried. Not only did she keep us updated with regular photos and messages, but she also went the extra mile by asking if she could cook him some liver to mix with his food to help encourage him to eat. Thanks to her kindness and attentiveness, Chewy perked up by the third day—he was running around and playing again! It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in such loving and capable hands. We felt like she treated Chewy as if he were her own dog. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who truly goes above and beyond!”

“Adilene and Rhoda took such great care of our Frenchie, Whiskey. He always has a wonderful time with them, and we appreciate how attentive and loving they are. They keep us updated with photos and messages, and we know he’s in good hands. Highly recommend!”
“We are SO happy we found Lydia for Jack, our 3.5 year old lab! She's the BEST! We were out of town for a week, and hated to leave him that long, but as soon as we met her, I knew we were in the right place. Our dog tends to be anxious when we are gone, and she understood that and even slept with him so he would be more comfortable! Her house and yard are very dog friendly, and she treated him like one of the family...we appreciated the updates and photos all week, and when our flight home was cancelled, she was so gracious to let him stay an extra night on very short notice. We are very grateful to her and hope shes available when we need to be out of town again, many thanks Lydia!”
“Nicole went above and beyond to make sure my pup was comfortable and well adjusted to her home. She also went above and beyond with communicating with me! I’ll be booking again!”
“Serena was so great with our dogs! She took amazing care of our high energy lab and our recently adopted rescue who is still warming up to new people. We appreciated having a meet and greet with her and Wes. We left our dogs overnight for a test run before we go on vacation. She took lots of pictures and was very communicative. We booked her for our future vacations and are confident our pups will be well taken care of and have a great time.”
“Basil had a wonderful time with Victoria and her family! We were sent lots of pictures while we were away for the weekend. We will definitely rebook with Victoria in the future.”
“Bonnie provided wonderful care for my two-year old lab mix Marcie. She made her part one of her very loving family of humans and pets for the long weekend! I had adopted Marcie only two months ago--it was the first time I left her overnight--and Bonnie made me feel very comfortable with her texts and pics of Marcie having fun. Highly recommended.”
“Matt was awesome! He took great care of Hank and send us lots of updates during his stay. Most importantly Hank came home exhausted and I could tell he had a ton of fun with Matt & Kobe!”
“Achara was fantastic! She took great care of my dog for a whole week, and was very accommodating with my last-minute request and when plans had to change. I will definitely rebook with her in the future.”

“First time using rover and Monique took great care of my dog. He is normally very anxious but was very comfortable at first meeting. I had consistent updates on how he was doing and he seemed very happy. All in all it was a great experience!”
“We found our dog-sitter Josh through Rover.com and he did a great job! We quickly were able to establish trust with Josh and appreciated that he went the extra mile to give our pup Kylo full attention and love, in addition to taking excellent care of him. My 5 year old pup Kylo doesn’t do well with trusting new people and has separation anxiety from being coddled so much. Josh took such good care of Kylo that he almost didn’t want to leave Josh, which makes me so happy. This was my first time ever using a pet sitter, or service, that wasn’t family. I feel relieved knowing Kylo has someone I can go to that I trust moving forward.”
“Nelly was an amazing sitter! Loved that we got update texts and lots of fun photos. She knows what she’s doing and is very knowledgeable about pet behavior. Our pup had a blast making new friends and when I picked her up, I could tell she loved Nelly after one stay with her. Highly recommend Nelly’s services!”
