“Personally I give them a 10/10. They took the time to bring Bagel out of his shell while he was in a new place. They were very friendly, patient, and updated with pictures and videos to ease my worries while I was away. I would definitely board my Bagel here again!”
“Hana was a great doggie Mamma when we were away for a week. The dogs looked happy and in spite of very hot weather they got in their exercise and usual stimulation and cuddles. Thank you Hana!!!”
“Megan was awesome! My puppy loved her and her dogs. When we came to pick up our puppy, she didn’t want to leave. We were in a pinch trying to find someone last minute who could watch our crazy energetic puppy and Megan was more than willing to help us out. We will be booking with her in the future.”

Outdoor security camera present. *** I am very comfortable working in all types of client environments.
“We had an amazing experience with Abigail! She was incredibly sweet and took such great care of our Buddy. She kept us updated with pictures throughout his stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was obvious she spent quality time playing with him, cuddling him, and making him feel loved. She even gave him a bath after he got a little muddy from playing outside, which was such a thoughtful touch! We truly appreciated the love and care she showed him, and we will absolutely be booking with her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“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:)”
“Kristina was great. Daily walks and various other activities for my pup, plus loads of updates and photos to give you peace of mind. Would 100% get her again to take care of my furbaby!”
“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.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Lisa! She took excellent care of our Samoyed, Ares, while we were away. From the start, she was warm, professional, and communicative—sending us regular updates and photos that gave us total peace of mind. Ares looked so happy and relaxed the whole time. It’s clear Lisa genuinely loves dogs and treats them like her own. We’re so grateful to have found her and will absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend”
“Emily and Sam are phenomenal. They have a great family setting and environment for our dog. They sent many pictures during our dog’s stay and I was able to see our dog was loved, well cared for, happy, and felt at home. I wouldn’t go anywhere else to have our dog boarded after having this wonderful experience.”
“Crystal was very kind and amazing with our dogs. She took very good care of them. It was a last minute booking and she was very helpful and accommodating. Her backyard is a great and spacious place for dogs to play in. She sent us pictures daily of how our pups were doing. She is a great dog sitter and would definitely recommend her.”
“Beyond amazing! My dog had a great time and she was extremely happy. Exceptional care and he sent us so many pictures and videos showing us everything she’s doing which we really appreciated. I’d give him 100000000 stars not just 5 🌟”
About: I’ve always loved animals and treat every pet like family. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, including two senior dogs who lived happy lives until 14 years old. I’m patient, attentive, and always make time to give pets the love, care, exercise, and comfort they need. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I truly enjoy being around animals and making them feel safe and cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I always make time for walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, and giving pets attention throughout the day. I’m reliable, flexible, and committed to making sure pets feel comfortable, happy, and loved while they’re in my care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, loving, and clean environment where pets can feel safe and relaxed. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and special needs, especially for senior pets who may need extra patience and care. I treat every animal like my own and make sure they receive plenty of supervision, affection, and attention at all times.
“Elizabeth is an actual saint. She survived 4 nights with our two chaotic house hippos and somehow still liked them by the end! Her photo and text updates were so consistent, it felt like my dogs got their own reality show while we were away. Book her immediately—unless I beat you to it. 6/5 stars.”
“Jeanne took amazing care of my dog, Bruno, and I’m so grateful. She treated him like her own and made me feel completely at ease. I especially appreciated how she kept me updated, even when I was busy and couldn’t always respond. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her!”
“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.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the incredible care Winnie provided for our dog while we were away! From the very first meet & greet, it was clear how much love and experience she brings to every visit. Our pups (who can be a bit anxious with new people) warmed up to her instantly and was always so excited to see her. Winnie went way above and beyond—daily photo and video updates that made us feel completely at ease, extra playtime and walks, and she even sent little “good morning” messages with pictures of our dog happily wagging his tail. She followed our detailed instructions perfectly, kept their routine consistent, and made sure they got plenty of cuddles and mental stimulation. She’s reliable, communicative, professional, and truly treats every dog like her own. If you’re looking for someone who will give your furry family member the absolute best care, she is the best. Thank you so much, Winnie! We’ll be requesting you for every future trip. 🐾❤️”
“Absolutely ideal. I think my dogs enjoyed their night away from home as much as we enjoyed our get-away. Parnian sent so many pictures of our dogs lounging, eating and playing. I feel like she loved them like her own dogs. I hope they get the chance to stay with her again. Highly recommend!”

I'm the kind of sitter shy cats actually come out around and playful cats learn new games from. I take the time to love and connect with all the cats I care for, whether through chin rubs, treat tosses, or offering a warm lap to nap on. I know what it's like to leave your cat and wonder if they'll be stressed or lonely. I'm here to put you—and your cat—at ease. You can trust that your cat will feel comfortable and loved, and I'll keep you connected to the everyday moments you miss while you're away.

“Destiny did a great job taking care of our kitties! One of my cats is a senior lady who needs medication and some special attention, and one is an anxious guy who needs emotional support, but I wasn’t worried about them at all! She also sent great pictures every day.”
“Angela was fantastic with our standard poodles Bentley and Coco. Bentley is by far the anxious one, but Angela was incredibly patient and won him over immediately. She dropped in twice a day, made sure they got plenty of playtime, and always sent photo updates that gave us peace of mind while we were away. She followed all care instructions perfectly. We highly recommend Angela and will absolutely book her again.”
“As always, Aimee was amazing with our kitty Peanut. We really appreciate her detailed feedback from her visits and we appreciate how Peanut is so comfortable and trusting of Aimee, Peanut is always so jazzed to see her! Aimee is a joy to have!”
“We had a last-minute, urgent request, and Bradley is our angel. Bingo and bluey love him and welcome him into their property. You can count on him. We are all deaf and he is willing to work with us.”

I’m also helping my best friend raise kittens! I would do anything for any cat I meet, from strays on the street to your precious fur baby!

I can do anything you and your kitty need, from enriching playtime to following special feeding instructions to deep cleaning litter boxes.
“Megan was very communicative with us each day she fed our cats. She was able to give oral liquid medication daily without issue to one cat and played happily with the others! Will rebook for future trips :)”
“Brandi is an awesome sitter! She is reliable and responsible. I felt 100% better about leaving my cat knowing that she was so well taken care of. I highly recommend Brandi to others.”
“I'd recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a drop-in for their fur babies! She really went out of her way for us! She showed up on her way to work to help my cats, and I stupidly forgot to unlock my door for her (We have an electronic door I open through my phone) and because my phone was on silent I never knew she was trying to reach me. But, luckily, she was kind enough to stop by after work to help with them. I was so grateful for her going back to tend to them! Such a caring person!”
“Arica has been extremely helpful and caring for all of our animals. When she checks in on our two cats she is easy to communicate with, always sends great photos, and shows them lots of love. When we first started working with her caring for our elderly dog, she was extra attentive and took extra steps to make sure he received the help he needed. We really appreciate her kindness towards our animals and the kindness she showed us when our dog crossed the rainbow bridge. If you're looking for a new sitter, we highly recommend working with Arica.”

“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.”
“Megan was very friendly, made me feel comfortable leaving my fur baby. As the day went by I received pictures and updates as to what and how my fur baby was doing. I would definitely use her services again and would recommend to any one”

“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!”

Over the years, I’ve cared for and loved several dogs, including a German Shepherd, Siberian Husky, and currently a Malinois mix and two husky mixes.

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.
About: Hi there! My name is Cory and I am from Riverside, CA. I'm 24 years old and love animals immensely! I love going on walks and love playing with dogs, cats, and any other animal friends. I'm naturally great with animals and there have been times where vicious or otherwise unwelcoming animals have been known to be my friends in no time. I have owned dogs my entire life and I've owned cats for most of it. I have at least 9 years of experience of taking car of animals on my own. My wife is a registered animal care expert and has taught me so much about so many different animals. My wife even has her own website dedicated to teaching people about animals Wisepetclub dot com if youre interested. Thank you for reading my bio at all and taking the time out of your day to get to know me. I hope I get to take care of your pet in the near future 🥰 I have fully open availability, I just left a really bad job and I'm looking for work that I will actually love. I love animals so my wife suggested Rover I can go to any home and watch any animal for any amount of time required, thats all up to you! We have a small, but secure backyard with a pool if your dog likes to swim! Our fence is fairly high, but very big energetic dogs can probably get over it such as malinois or German shepherds. Anything smaller than that would be perfect. Our house is too small to watch, but my dogs are very friendly so they can have a playmate

About: I love many animals, especially dogs. Growing up I raised many litters of puppies and have always been around dogs. A several years ago my senior dogs passed away. And it took until recently for me to get another dog. Since I’ve taken care of family dogs and realized that this is something I would really like to do with my spare time, and I’d appreciate it if you would let me watch your fur family member. While taking care of your dog I will treat them like them they were my own and make sure they are well-tended. I like to go on runs and hikes so if you have dogs that need that extra exercise I can provide all the exercise they need. Your buddy is my buddy. I am fully insured as a pet sitter and certified in dog and cat CPR and First Aid. Although I work full time from home but my weekends tend to be very free, so I have spare time if you work weekends or get off of work late. As I cannot pet sit at my home, I will be sure to secure all doors and fences at your residence. Please let me know of any specifics for your pet.
About: As a lifelong dog lover and experienced pet owner, I bring years of hands-on experience, care, and responsibility to every dog I meet. I recently said goodbye to my beloved senior dog, whom I raised from a playful puppy all the way through his golden years. That journey taught me patience, empathy, and how to understand a dog’s changing needs at every stage of life. I live in a dog-friendly home with a spacious, grassy backyard and a pool—perfect for pups who love to play, stretch their legs, or relax in the sun. Whether it’s a quick walk, playtime, or just some company and care while you’re away, your dog will be treated like family. You can trust that your pet is in loving and capable hands with me! Pet care is a natural and rewarding part of my daily routine. I'm a teacher currently on summer break, which means I have plenty of time and flexibility to give your pet the attention they deserve. My partner works remotely, so there's always someone home, and we don’t have any kids—just lots of love and space for animals! I've raised my own dog from a playful puppy to a sweet senior and recently lost him, so I truly understand the care and compassion pets need at every stage of life. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just some cuddles and companionship, your pup will feel right at home with us. Whether in my home or a client’s, I care for pets like they’re part of the family. In my home, pets have access to a spacious, grassy backyard for play and potty breaks, and plenty of cozy spots to relax indoors. I maintain a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment with lots of attention, love, and supervision—especially since my partner works remotely and we're always around. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow their pet’s usual routine closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, walk times, or special care instructions. I treat each pet with patience, respect, and compassion, always making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. Whether it's giving medication, cleaning up, or just offering belly rubs, I focus on the details that matter to both pets and their owners.

“Megan was awesome! My puppy loved her and her dogs. When we came to pick up our puppy, she didn’t want to leave. We were in a pinch trying to find someone last minute who could watch our crazy energetic puppy and Megan was more than willing to help us out. We will be booking with her in the future.”

“We had an amazing experience with Abigail! She was incredibly sweet and took such great care of our Buddy. She kept us updated with pictures throughout his stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was obvious she spent quality time playing with him, cuddling him, and making him feel loved. She even gave him a bath after he got a little muddy from playing outside, which was such a thoughtful touch! We truly appreciated the love and care she showed him, and we will absolutely be booking with her again in the future. Highly recommend!”

“We had a wonderful experience with Lisa! She took excellent care of our Samoyed, Ares, while we were away. From the start, she was warm, professional, and communicative—sending us regular updates and photos that gave us total peace of mind. Ares looked so happy and relaxed the whole time. It’s clear Lisa genuinely loves dogs and treats them like her own. We’re so grateful to have found her and will absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend”
“Emily and Sam are phenomenal. They have a great family setting and environment for our dog. They sent many pictures during our dog’s stay and I was able to see our dog was loved, well cared for, happy, and felt at home. I wouldn’t go anywhere else to have our dog boarded after having this wonderful experience.”
“Beyond amazing! My dog had a great time and she was extremely happy. Exceptional care and he sent us so many pictures and videos showing us everything she’s doing which we really appreciated. I’d give him 100000000 stars not just 5 🌟”

“Jeanne took amazing care of my dog, Bruno, and I’m so grateful. She treated him like her own and made me feel completely at ease. I especially appreciated how she kept me updated, even when I was busy and couldn’t always respond. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her!”
“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.”
“Absolutely ideal. I think my dogs enjoyed their night away from home as much as we enjoyed our get-away. Parnian sent so many pictures of our dogs lounging, eating and playing. I feel like she loved them like her own dogs. I hope they get the chance to stay with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Angel took care of both our big dogs for a week while my family was out of town. I will definitely book with him again. He treated them like his own and sent us updates on how they were doing. I appreciate all his help with our energetic and needy dogs.”
“Immediately felt comfortable leaving him with him I wasn’t sure how my dog would behave but I imagine my dog felt comfortable as I’ve never had him watched over but he behaved well assuming because he felt comfortable and with good vibes I would definitely leave him with him again he took care of him well and provided many updates photos and videos included if your looking for someone dependable and well versed with caring for pets you can’t go wrong with him 10/10 would recommend again”
“Darryl & Janice went above and beyond, truly exceeded expectations! This was our first time ever leaving our dogs with someone and our first time using Rover. They took the time to explain to us how it worked, reassured us with our concerns, they were patient and understanding! But the cherry on top that made this experience AMAZING was the report cards, certificates and bow ties they gave Zeus and Boo! They made this experience feel like they were staying at grandma and grandpas house and were spoiled! Thank you for your kindness and caring for our babies we will absolutely be returning!”
“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.”
“I can’t say enough great things about Jilma. She took my dogs in on very short notice and was absolutely amazing from start to finish. I really appreciated how communicative she was, she sent regular updates and tons of adorable pictures that completely put my mind at ease. It was clear my dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for the whole time. I’m so grateful for her flexibility and kindness we’ll definitely be booking with her again! 🐾💛”
