Abigail kept us updated with photos throughout his stay, and it gives us so much peace of mind knowing that Buddy is truly loved and cared for in her home just as he would be with us. 🥰 We had a special family vacation planned to LEGOLAND, and Abigail was even kind enough to accommodate a later pickup so we could enjoy as much time at the park with our kids as possible. We really appreciated her flexibility! Abigail is definitely our preferred sitter and Buddy’s preferred sitter too! 🐶💕 We’re so grateful to have found someone we trust so much with our boy. Highly recommend!”

“We would give ten stars if we could. Brandi and her team took excellent care of our three cats for two weeks, including setting up a genie camera so that we could keep up with one of our shy cats and recording them singing happy birthday to the cats. They far exceed expectations and really do treat the cats as if they are their own. This is the second time we have booked Brandi and we will do so again in the future.”

“Naydamar was super friendly and very patient with my dog. He is super shy around new people and she took her time with him. She sent photos and a video of his time with her and he looked like he was having fun. Her dog Milo is super friendly and probably made it an easier transition for my dog. Cooper can’t wait for another play date.”

About: Hi there! My name is Evelyn and I am a Sitter with RoverGO. I've always been an animal lover;all animals from fish, birds , dogs, cats to snakes. I've also had a variety of pets:fish, turtles, birds, cats and dogs. As a pet sitter, my client's dogs are like my own. My first one was a Cavalier King Spaniel. Her family moved away. I miss her because I saw her grow from a puppy to an adult. I still keep in contact with them. I enjoy taking care of dogs because they give you unconditional love. My own dog, Hunter, is my best friend. When I saw him as a puppy, it was love at first sight. Now we go on tons of adventures, from hiking, beach, to our daily runs/walks. He is spoiled. I offer drop in and overnight care in your home. I understand how hard it is on dogs and humans alike when you go on vacation and I aim to provide great care. I am a reliable, honest and caring sitter. Your dog's care and comfort is my top priority and I will follow all instructions to the letter. I'm a true dog person because I see them not as pets but as family. I wish I could take care of all the animals. I am a positive, caring, reliable, attentive and honest human being and I can't wait to meet you and your dog. I’m currently working from home full time with Rover. It is my daily routine. I can attend to their needs for however long they are here. My home is a single story home. It has a big gate and brick backyard. The house is secure. My house has cameras all around to monitor 24-7.
“Winnie is incredibly kind and thoughtful. She took the time to learn about my dog, Zoe, before even meeting her, which I really appreciated. Zoe immediately felt comfortable with Winnie — she played with her and even laid next to her during their time together, which says a lot! Winnie provided regular updates, which gave me great peace of mind. I would absolutely love to have Winnie watch Zoe again whenever I’m not able to. Highly recommend!”
“Amazing dog sitter! Very communicative and kept me updated with messages and photos throughout the stay. Great experience and highly recommend. Thank you for taking good care of Mr Oliver!”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life — for as long as I can remember, there has always been a dog by my side. Over the past 20+ years I have developed a deep understanding of dog behavior, body language, and what it takes to make a pup feel safe and loved in a new environment. Beyond my own dogs, I have informally cared for the pets of friends and family many times, so I know how to handle dogs with different personalities and energy levels. Right now I share my home with my own 5-year-old male goldendoodle, so your dog will always have a friendly, socialized companion to play with. What truly sets me apart is my availability and home setup. I do not work outside the home, which means I am here with the dogs all day — no long hours alone, no anxious waiting. We have a large backyard where dogs can run, explore, and burn off energy freely. I also have a 2-year-old son at home, so I only welcome dogs that are comfortable around young children, and I take that responsibility seriously for everyone's safety. If you are looking for a sitter who treats your dog like family and is genuinely home all day to give them attention, walks, and playtime — you found the right place. I don't work outside the home, I'm here around the clock, seven days a week. Morning walks, midday playtime in the big backyard, afternoon couch cuddles — I'm always present. My goldendoodle keeps us on a consistent daily routine, which visiting dogs love. My home is a safe, welcoming space for dogs. We have a large fully fenced backyard where dogs can run and play freely without any worry. Inside, my goldendoodle sets a calm, friendly tone that helps visiting dogs feel at ease quickly. I supervise all dog interactions closely, especially since I have a 2-year-old at home — safety for both the kids and the dogs is always my top priority. Dogs are never left alone for long periods, and I make sure every pup has their own space to relax and decompress when they need it. I always ask owners upfront about their dog's routine, feeding schedule, medications, and any quirks so I can keep things as consistent as possible. I treat every dog the way I'd want my own to be treated — with patience, attention, and a whole lot of love.

About: My pet care journey began in 2004 with my first dog, Jedi - a highly trained and obedient Black Labrador, who taught me the foundations of advanced canine behavior, structure, and positive reinforcement. Although Jedi is no longer here, his legacy lives on in the deep, genuine love and structured care I now offer to my own dogs and every pet in my custody. Drawing from these 22 years of hands-on experience, I seamlessly maintain the exact daily routines, timing and obedience commands your dog is already used to while actively fostering calm, polite behaviors, structured care and deep genuine love for your pet. You can ensure your furry friend receives true, heartfelt affection that will bring you complete peace of mind that they are in safe capable hands. You can count on total reliability with zero last-minute cancellations, and I provide a safe, calm environment right in my own home. I also send real-time updates with photos and text messages during every visit. Your pet's safety is always my priority, which is why I am currently planning my upcoming enrollment in a professional pet CPR and first aid certifications course for an extra layer of protection. Caring for animals is the main focus of my daily and weekly routine. I have three dogs of my own, and I treat them as if they were my children. I do not work outside the home, so my schedule is mostly open on the weekdays. Because my routine already revolves around giving my pets constant love, attention, and care, your dogs will easily fit into our daily rhythm. They will receive constant supervision, plenty of playtime, and a safe comforting environment.
“Azeb was great! She watched my two dogs for a last minute booking so we could explore riverside without them in the rain. She sent photos, fed them as instructed and even took them on two long walks. I would highly recommend her to care for your pets. She will treat them like her own!”
“David was absolutely amazing with our crazy girl! It’s difficult to find someone who is willing to deal with her special brand of crazy but he had no problem. We will happily have him take care of her again. It’s nice to have finally found someone local that we can trust to leave her with.”

About: Hi, I’m Eve! As a professional dog bather at PetSmart and an experienced pet sitter for friends, my world revolves around keeping dogs safe, clean, and happy. Working daily in a high energy professional salon environment has given me advanced training that sets my pet care apart. It also has taught me how to read dogs body language. Whether your dog needs high-energy play or just a calming presence while you are away, I have the professional background, and deep love for animals to make them feel right at home. I treat every pet in my care with the same accountability and affection I show my friends' beloved dogs and my own. Pet care fits perfectly into my weekly routine! I split my time between college classes and a part time job, but I keep a very consistent weekly schedule. I dedicate my mornings to routine check ins before my day starts, and my late afternoons and sometimes evenings are entirely open for walks and playtime . You can always count on me to be on time and communicative. When caring for your pet during drop ins and walks, safety and security are my top priorities. Before we head out, I always double check that harnesses and leashes are completely secure. During walks, I stay highly alert to our surroundings to avoid any encounters with unfamiliar dogs. Inside your home, I strictly follow your exact routines for feeding, fresh water, playtime, or administering medication. I also ensure your home is locked up and fully secure before I leave. You will always receive a detailed update and plenty of photos after every visit.

About: I cared for my first puppy when I was 7 years old, and ever since then I've been a friend to dogs. I especially love to play, run, chase, and walk with energetic pets. Of course, providing affection, attention, and treats are a given with me. I have a very flexible schedule right now, with no other jobs at the moment and plenty of time to travel and spend quality time with your little ones! Dogs love walking in their free time, and so do I. I am especially free during the day, perfect for typical work shifts when your puppies or kitties might otherwise be alone. I always follow pet care instructions to a tee, including what spaces they may safely hang out in, what they shouldn't eat or play with, and how they act in various conditions. I want them to be safw and comfortable, always! As if nothing has changed at all from their usual beloved home.

About: I’ve spent the last 10 years caring for both dogs and cats, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m a big believer that great pet care is a mix of love, routine, and understanding what each animal truly needs. Whether your pet thrives on long walks, quiet company, mental enrichment games, or a consistent daily schedule, I’m there to make sure they feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for. I’ve learned a lot about dog nutrition, behavior, and enrichment over the years, so I’m always happy to support special diets, picky eaters, anxious pups, or pets who need a little extra stimulation to feel their best. I follow routines exactly as you set them—mealtimes, meds, walks, play, bedtime rituals—because your pet’s comfort matters most. Most of all, I’m here to give you peace of mind. You’ll get reliable communication, plenty of photo updates, and a sitter who notices the little things. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m free after 1 pm on weekdays and wide open on weekends, so your pet gets plenty of attention whenever you need it. I’m only available for overnights on Fridays and Saturdays but I can house sit till late night on the days I can’t stay overnight. If you’re looking for a time that doesn’t quite fit this schedule, just reach out—I can see if I can make it work with a little notice. A day with me starts by following your pet’s routine—meals, potty breaks, and plenty of snuggles. Dogs get walks, playtime, and mental enrichment, while cats get attention, cozy cuddles, and interactive play. Drop-ins include feeding, meds, and extra love, and house sitting means continuous companionship and care. You’ll always get updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

I have a fenced backyard to keep your pup safe. We typically visit the dog park if it’s open or go for a 1-1.5 hour walk, depending on your pup’s energy level. I have a crate available, dog beds, doggy gate, and a doggy door for all dog sizes. I only provide treats if given permission, otherwise I will adhere to any diet restrictions.

“Megan did an awesome job with our two dogs. This was there first time be away from home, so at first it was out of there element but she stepped in and took good care of them.

About: Pet care is not just a job for me but a full time career. I have completed pet care coursework; a history caring for those with special needs, internal connections with PetSmart Inc professionals, and daily care for my beloved 5 dogs & 5 cats. I’m currently available weekdays and weekends willing to accommodate client’s busy schedules. I have graduated from school and ready to work full time caring for domesticated animal breeds. I have a very clean and spacious suburban home with one small indoor cat and one small dog. No children. Smoke free. Outdoor security camera present. *** I am very comfortable working in all types of client environments.
“We left our dog for a week with Nutan and she had the best time ever! We got plenty of pictures, and we knew how well she was taken care of. We will gladly leave our pup here anytime we have to go out of town:)”
About: I've grown up around dogs my whole life and have been walking and caring for friends and family's dogs for years. I know how to give each pup the attention and exercise they need. My daily routine is very flexible. I'm available every morning and evening for walks, and I build my whole schedule around your dog's needs. Whether it's a quick potty break or a longer adventure, I'll make sure your pup gets the exercise and attention they need. I always care for pets in the client's home. I follow any special instructions you give me, keep your house clean, and make sure all doors and gates are securely closed before I leave. Your pet's safety and your home are my top priority.

“Absolutely wonderful!!! Honestly a god sent. Thank you very much for taking the best care of Luna. Definitely next time we need someone to watch her, you will be our first call. Forever grateful.”
“Another wonderful stay with Abigail! 🐾❤️ Buddy already knew exactly where we were going as soon as we turned into Abigail’s neighborhood, he was so excited, which says everything about how much he loves staying with her! Abigail kept us updated with photos throughout his stay, and it gives us so much peace of mind knowing that Buddy is truly loved and cared for in her home just as he would be with us. 🥰 We had a special family vacation planned to LEGOLAND, and Abigail was even kind enough to accommodate a later pickup so we could enjoy as much time at the park with our kids as possible. We really appreciated her flexibility! Abigail is definitely our preferred sitter and Buddy’s preferred sitter too! 🐶💕 We’re so grateful to have found someone we trust so much with our boy. Highly recommend!”
“AMAZING! Our dog returned to us worn out from all the playing. Naydamar sent photos and videos everyday our pup was with her! She even sent her home to us with new toys! 10/10 can’t recommend enough!”

“Darryl and Janice made our experience with them very special, we felt very comfortable leaving our Dog with them.They are very professional in their handling of Dogs. We will definitely be using their services again soon. I recommend to everyone that you should board your Dog with Darryl and Janice.”
“Martin and his son were excellent. Communication was consistent, and they kept us updated with pictures, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dogs were being cared for with the same level of attention and affection we would give them ourselves. Our dogs came back happy, relaxed, and clearly had a great time — especially being able to interact with their dogs as well. Martin and his son were responsive, reliable, and genuinely caring. We’re very grateful they were available on a weekend and would absolutely trust them again.”
“Rachel was absolutely amazing with my two pugs, Roxy and Kobe! This was my first time leaving them with a dog sitter, so I was naturally a little nervous, but she made the entire experience completely stress-free. Her communication was outstanding from start to finish. She always responded quickly to my messages, kept me updated on how my dogs were doing, and sent me plenty of pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Anytime I had a question, she answered right away and made sure I knew how Roxy and Kobe were doing. Before their stay, we met in person, and I also got to meet her adorable Golden Retriever, Chubbs. He is such a sweet and friendly dog, and Roxy and Kobe got along so well with him. It was comforting to know they were in such a welcoming environment. Rachel is kind, caring, professional, and truly loves the dogs she watches. I felt completely comfortable leaving Roxy and Kobe with her, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. I highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and attentive dog sitter. Thank you, Rachel, for taking such wonderful care of Roxy and Kobe!”
About: While I'm new to Rover, I’ve been lovingly pet sitting since my teens and have raised high-energy working breeds my entire life. In my own home, I currently have a fun-loving, high-octane adolescent dog and a recently departed sweet, gentle senior, so I truly understand and adore dogs of all life stages! I provide a warm, predictable environment where your pup can relax, feel safe, and know exactly what to expect. My Specialties Include: Active & Working Breeds: Giving large, athletic, or driven dogs the physical outlets and mental stimulation they crave. Extra Behavior Support: Experienced and confident with separation anxiety, resource guarding, and leash reactivity, using calm, consistent handling. Sweet Seniors: Patiently managing slow-paced routines, mobility needs, and extra comfort adjustments. Safety & Comfort Your pup will be treated exactly like one of my own! My home is entirely secure and puppy-proofed to minimize stress. I am dedicated to keeping their feeding schedules, training boundaries, and bedtime or crate routines intact so they feel zero disruption while you are away. I can't wait to give your dog the premium care and love they deserve. Send me a message today to schedule a Meet & Greet! I am typically available for boarding and daycare on weekends, holidays, and school breaks. I can do visits in the afternoon and evening. For daycare, I am available for drop off as early as 5 AM and pick up as late as 9 PM. I have a dog and a cat of my own that I care for daily. After breakfast has settled in our tummies we go out for walks. We have regular play and naps throughout the day. After dinner lots of snuggles and tv. The dogs sleep in the room with us on their beds. When I got my male dog last year as a puppy, I rebuilt our home schedule to be around caring for him. For boarding or daycare: I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog to keep yours company. I can crate your dog at night if preferred or they can sleep on a bed. I separate all dogs for meal times to prevent resource guarding. I have toys available for play that are regularly washed. Dogs are allowed on couches and in the downstairs during the day. They are allowed upstairs in our bedroom with the door shut at night with us. I will walk and play with them. I have space in the fridge/freezer for fresh or raw food. I can give medications. For dog-walking: I will walk your dog with mine on leashes for your preferred distance or time in the morning or evening. I am experienced with handling leash-reactivity.

“We had a great experience with Marissa as Jynx’s dog sitter over the holiday. She communicated with us and made sure we knew how Jynx was doing. Jynx can be sensitive to loud noises, and Marissa was incredibly attentive and comforting when Jynx was scared. The pictures she sent of Jynx enjoying herself were such a thoughtful touch and reassured us that she was happy and well cared for. We would happily book Marissa again and highly recommend her.”
“Ryan was an awesome sitter especially since we needed to book last minute on labor day weekend. Kept us updated with how she was doing daily and was very responsive. Overall an excellent experience!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Angel is amazing! He took such great care of my dog Pharoah and was very responsive anytime I needed to reach out. I always felt comfortable knowing Pharoah was in good hands. I will definitely continue to use him whenever I need a dog sitter and will recommend him to my family as well.”
