“We had a great experience with Sarita! She took care of our dog at her place for a week. She was super reliable, communicative (lots of great pics, videos, and updates), and our pup absolutely loved her and her family. Overall, we were at complete ease knowing our dog was with Sarita and we highly recommend her for any of your dog care needs!”
“Kushram exceeded our expectations while boarding our three-year-old French Bulldog, Wizzy, over the holidays. We were understandably nervous about leaving Wizzy with an unfamiliar family for an extended 17-day stay, especially since it was her first time being boarded. Kushram immediately put us at ease by inviting us to a meet-and-greet before the boarding began. We had the pleasure of meeting his family, visiting their lovely home, and seeing the environment where Wizzy would be staying. This experience helped us build trust right from the start. Throughout our 17-day vacation, Kushram consistently sent videos and photos, along with thoughtful updates on Wizzy’s health and well-being. He was incredibly responsive via text and conversations, always replying within the hour. When we picked Wizzy up, all of her belongings were beautifully cleaned, organized, and packed—nothing missing, which we truly appreciated. Overall, the service was top-tier. We are deeply grateful to Kushram and his family for taking such great care of Wizzy, and we would absolutely work with him again.”
“My dog Gracie, who is shy, really enjoyed staying with Nadine. She especially loved Nadine‘s dog Cosmo, and happily played with her. Nadine sent me pictures and videos every day and that set my heart at rest that Gracie was having a wonderful time. I highly recommend Nadine. Gracie will be seen Nadine, Cosmo, and the other dogs again. Thank you so much, Nadine.”
“Deborah was great with our dog. My dog seemed to be comfortable right away. She sent lots of photos. When we came to pick her up, she was very relaxed. She definitely took to Deborah! I’m sure my dog would be happy to stay with her again!”
About: Hi there! My name is Lauren. I have 11 years of pet care experience, along with 2 years of professional pet care experience through a boutique pet care company. During that time, I received training in pet care, first aid, and canine CPR, and gained hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats with a variety of personalities, needs, and routines. My soul-dog, Buster, was by my side for 11 wonderful years before sadly passing away in 2025. I’ve missed having that special furry companionship in my life ever since, and caring for dogs is something that brings me so much joy. I’m excited to provide the same love, patience, and attentive care to your pets that I’ve always given my own. I'm currently working towards my Masters Degree in Social Work, which is fully remote, meaning I am home 7 days a week to take care of your pet. I take pride in providing a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel relaxed and at home. My apartment is very pet-friendly, with plenty of nearby flat, open green space for walks, playtime, and fresh air. I’m meticulous about keeping food and water bowls clean and ensuring pets always have fresh water. I’m also very attentive to each pet parent’s instructions and routines, and I’m comfortable administering medication when needed. I have experience caring for puppies and senior dogs, and understand that every dog has their own personality, comfort level, and needs, including dogs who may experience anxiety.
“Amanda and Mitchell did an amazing job taking care of Louie while we were out of town for 5 days. They were great about taking Louie on daily walks and trips to the park, and provided lot updates with photos! They were very understanding when our return flight was delayed, and Amanda even offered to drop him off for free which was a huge help. He was a happy and tired boy when he got home!! Thank you Amanda and Mitchell, we will be back!”
“Gayane was an amazing sitter for Tookie. She was very communicative and loved that she read his care instructions and asked plenty of questions prior to drop off. We got lots of photos and videos while Tookie was eating, relaxing, and out on walks. We really appreciate Gayane for her care over the weekend. Would highly recommend!”
“Jackie is wonderful with our dog Bruce and she is such a dog lover! We know that when we leave Bruce with her he is in safe hands,he also has a great time playing in her beautiful backyard and with the other dogs there as well! She sends us text messages and pictures as well! If you choose Jackie to watch your fur baby you won't be disappointed!”
“Ross took such great care of Joey! He clearly is such a dog person who could intuitively figure out all of Joey’s quirks. Joey had a great stay and is probably already looking forward to his next stay with Ross!”
“Banksy had an amazing time at Luna's and loved playing with Jim. I felt extremely comfortable leaving Banksy with Luna, based on the questions she asked about Banksy, her attention to detail about his needs and safety, and just her kind warm personality! I loved the pictures each day. I wholeheartedly recommend Luna and will definitely be having her watch Banksy again!”
“Betsy loves her home away from home with Lanette and Dave! We can tell they really are dog people and care for our 7-year old lab like their own. They even gifted us a new slow-feeding bowl for her! Lanette was great at communicating and sending us updates/photos throughout our trip. They also were incredibly accommodating when our flight got delayed and Betsy needed to stay an extra night. We don’t like to leave Betsy often, but we know that we can trust Lanette and Dave to provide all the love and care she needs. I whole heartedly recommend them and know we will be using them again in the future!”
About: I have over 10 years of pet boarding experience. In my home are 2 cats, 1 pug and 1 turtle. My babies love when we have guests and truly enjoy the company as much as I do. I work great hours and not too long which leaves me with plenty of play time and 2 long walks a day. I spend most of my time at home which gives us plenty of quality time to hangout. There is a large patio on the second floor for sunbathing during the day while looking at a great view of the water. As well as 2 cats, 1 pug and a turtle who love company and everyone is free to roam the whole house but they do have their own fur baby room for space if they like.

I provide a calm, loving, and attentive environment and always follow the owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding, routines, medications, walks, and special care needs.

“Amber was so great! She was thoughtful, consistent, and paid attention to every detail. Her updates were also wonderful with lots of cute photos. Thanks so much Amber, it meant so much to not worry about my cats while I was away.”
“I’ve never used a cat sitter before and am so glad to have come across Victoria on Rover. Being out of town for several weeks, I felt completely at ease with my old lady cat in Victoria’s care. She’s timely, dependable, and quick to respond. I will definitely keep using her as my go-to sitter in the future!”
“Kyla was professional, courteous, dependable, and took excellent care of my cat,Baxter. She provided a great sense of comfort and peace of mind for me to leave my cat under her care for five days. Twice a day, I received pictures showing me that Baxter was being well cared for. All my directions for his care, including medication, meals, litter box and treats were followed to the letter.For future care of my pet, there would be no hesitation on my part to entrust Baxter‘s care with Kyla. Thank you💕”

“We all love Jenna so much!! Our cat is usually a bit of a grump and takes a few days to warm up to new people, but he took to Jenna right away and has a new best friend! She also takes excellent care of our rabbit and is overall very communicative. We will happily continue to hire Jenna whenever she is available!”
“We simply could not have been happier. The communication and updates were excellent. Our two cats were taken care of extremely well. I think they were reluctant to come home.”
“Xiao provided fantastic and loving care of my cat Noodle. I received great photos and updates every time she checked in. I am grateful to know my cuddly little buddy was loved while I was gone.”
“Rachael was a tremendous and extremely knowledgeable petsittter for our two cats who were recently rescued. She spent time playing and engaging with them, in addition to the litany of clean up and feeding responsibilities. She sent photos of them as well as detailed observations during every visit which were extremely helpful. She also went the extra mile to remove toxic plants from our home, which we were not aware. We would highly recommend Rachael for petsitting. She loves her job and puts the animals first. A definite A+”
“My cats the boys luv Vivian. She gives them the attention they need, feeds, disposes of the cans, keeps the little litter box clean, picks up the mail , sends nightly pictures of them and most importantly leaves our home as she found it. I really appreciate the service she provides.”
“Val was amazing! She did drop in visits for my dogs for about five days. On each visit she took pictures and updated me on the status of my dogs. I could see on their faces that they were having fun with Val. She even bought them some toys to play with. She was very attentive and responsible.”
About: I am a loving and friendly dog sitter! I grew up with two dogs, a poodle and a Chihuahua. My family currently has a bull terrier that I love very much. I also take care of my best friend's dog when she is out of town. I love dogs and going on walks so this combination is perfect for me. I am currently a nanny to one of nephews as needed but I am free every day during the summer to take care of your furry babies. I make sure I read their cues of needing water/food, when they need to pee/poop, when they're overstimulated, stressed, or happy. I also make sure to pet them and show them love by scratching them, patting them, and rubbing them. I also follow any schedule that is given to me to make sure they stick to their normal routine.

“Our pup, Finn, loved his time with Jeanette and family! She communicated well, sent us photos, and he came home happy and (thankfully) tired from playing. We will definitely book again!”
“We had such a great first experience with Sara! She was incredibly warm and welcoming, and I felt very comfortable leaving Fifi in her care. I really appreciated the updates and photos throughout the day, as well as how attentive she was to Fifi and her individual needs. It was wonderful to hear that she had fun with Sara’s family, including her sweet dog Shadow, and was getting lots of attention and love throughout the day. Fifi was happy and comfortable when I picked her up, which means everything to me. I would absolutely feel good about leaving her with Sara again and I look forward to Fifi’s future stays with her!”

“As a new pet sitter for Kona, she was happy when we picked her up and that’s an indication to us that she was treated well. Emma provided photos and update how Kona was doing. Her house/yard is in a nice area of Vallejo and happy to see it was clean and tidy. Given her already stellar reviews, we already know that we will be reaching out to her again.”
“William is great with Louie! He treated Louie just the way he cares for his own fur babies. He was available on short notice, and sent me pictures of Louie while I was at work. That really put me at ease knowing that Louie is having a great tome.:)”
“Asatur eased my anxieties with my dog Teddy socializing with other doggos! Teddy had so much fun and he went straight to Asatur at drop off. His house is a great space for the dogs to run around. I am definitely booking with Asatur in the future!! Teddy has been sleeping all day today because he’s exhausted 😄”
“Kushram and Family are a wonderful find for dog sitting or doggy day care. Give the initial booking request a bit of lead time, as the confirmation that the day/time works may take up to a day to come through. This time I put in a request 9:30pm on a Saturday, and got confirmation Sunday evening. (I suspect requests are processed daily). The initial booking request was the largest gap we experienced in communication, scheduling the meet and greet by messages was easy - they were very responsive and want to ensure you and your pup will be comfortable with their set up and go over any special needs of the dog. Our elder pup Rick was drawn to Kushram and the whole family even on the meet and greet (I think just his wife and adult nephew), as well the drop off day of, and they were able to make him comfortable enough to eat even on a short visit. Given our short booking (only about 3 hrs) we can't really comment on long term pictures/communication during the visit, but I can say I feel pretty happy that I found some place local where I feel comfortable leaving my dog when I need to go somewhere. They also have some experience with some dog special needs, but can help best when they know about it ahead of time. They were not concerned or put off in the slightest by our pups needs (mostly that he's pretty clingy, can get cold easily, and only has 3 teeth and will only eat small pieces of food, and doesn't love hanging out with other dogs), and described other dogs they had watched with similar or more challenging needs such as dog-sitting a blind dog in a new space. Thank you for taking good care of our pup!”
About: I have always enjoyed having animals in my life. I have a husky/cattle dog mix and two tuxedo cats who all get along great together. I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule to help care for animals. I live in the Pinole Station community. I work from home so I have a flexible schedule during the day and can accommodate most timings for walks, drop-ins, daycare or overnight boarding. I have a dog and two cats in a house with a fenced in backyard. I work from home so I’m able to always be with your pet.
About: I grew up as the daughter of a professional dog trainer, so thoughtful, attentive dog care has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. My partner Mitch and I genuinely love having dogs in our home, and we aim to give every guest safe, loving, individualized care. Our sweet 15-year-old dog, Chunk, is a gentle and easygoing host. We also have a cat, so we’re unable to accept dogs with a history of aggression toward dogs or cats. What a stay with us looks like: • Individualized care for puppies, seniors, high-energy, reactive, and special-needs dogs • A comfortable home setting with a secure fenced yard, cozy resting spots, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of companionship • Daily exercise and enrichment tailored to your dog’s interests, from sniff walks and fetch to hikes, puzzles, and light training practice • Extra safety precautions, including a tracking collar during their stay and long leads for safe outdoor exploration • Thoughtful daily updates with high-quality photos and notes about how your dog is doing • Attentive routine care, including medications, post-adventure checks, basic grooming, and close attention to behavior and wellbeing • A fresh send-off, with brushing, ear and paw care, a gentle freshen-up, and washed bedding, blankets, or toys when needed I’m trained in canine CPR and happy to reinforce basic manners while following your preferred training methods. Every guest also goes home with a personalized stay report card with highlights, routines, favorite activities, and a few memorable moments from their visit. Our goal is simple: for your dog to feel less like they’re being boarded and more like they’re staying at a summer camp designed just for them. I work from home so I can be as available as your dog needs. My partner also is home for most of the day, and only works in the evenings so one of us is almost always home. We live surrounded by trails and parks so your dog will have ample adventures during their stay. Every dog will be treated with the same love and care as if they were our own. We have a large fenced yard that they are free to roam, and a cozy home with dog beds everywhere. We allow dogs on couch and bed, though I can maintain any rules you have in your home for consistency. We do also have a cat so we cannot accept any dogs that are in any way aggressive towards cats or small critters.
“Deborah took great care of our dog Noodle. Noodle is a little shy and Deborah was very patient and caring. Her house is well set up and has a great enclosed yard. She sent us some great pictures too!”

“I really appreciated Xiao’s patience with my pup today. I have a rescue Chihuahua mix who does not warm up easily to new people. She got him out for two walks today while I had to travel out of town for work. It really put my mind at ease knowing Murphy was in good hands.”

“We have a newborn, so it's a huge relief to have Deborah walk our dog every morning. Our dog Lucie waits for her by the window and is always so excited to see her.

I live in a beautiful, quiet, and safe neighborhood with a fully fenced yard where your pet can enjoy supervised outdoor time, potty breaks, play sessions, and relaxing in the sunshine whenever they choose. We are also fortunate to have scenic paved hiking trails and a park just a few minutes away, which I regularly use for walks and exercise with my own dogs. Whether your pet enjoys leisurely strolls or more active outings, I can tailor their activities to their individual needs and energy level. To help your pet feel completely at home, I encourage you to share any special preferences, routines, favorite activities, or unique needs they may have. Maintaining consistency with their daily schedule helps create a comfortable, stress-free experience and allows them to settle in as if they were in their own home.
“"I couldn't be happier with their service. I was nervous about finding the right walker for my kids pup, but they were incredibly patient and gentle. Fantastic service! They are dependable, trustworthy, and go above and beyond to make sure my dog gets plenty of exercise I will be back in the future”
“What a wonderful person! I was very worried because my son's dog is unruly and wants to eat other dogs. Kyla had the dog walking along as peaceful as can be. She was truely a blessing.”
“Val is by far the best sitter on Rover! I have used her multiple times for both dog walking and dog sitting, and she goes above and beyond to make my dogs experience enjoyable, and to make my experience easy and without any worries. I would highly recommend her for everything!”

About: I live in Hercules (East Bay) and only do IN HOME CARE for dogs and sometimes cats. I've found there is less stress if they stay in their own familiar surroundings with your smells; especially if they are blind or deaf or have elderly med needs.. I also give medications and understand senior dog needs. My small Chihuahua SOPHIE comes with me and gets along with everyone. I am semi-retired and will attend to all your instructions, sleep with your baby if that is what is required. I specialize in small dogs but will consider anything, especially if you are in a bind and need someone ASAP. Call me and let's discuss your needs! Thank you. I'm semi-retired and usually available. I am happy to take your dog to dog parks. Sophie and I go on long walks everyday, sometimes twice. We are active. We will follow your schedule. I've great references for in-home care which is all I do now. I also keep the house clean and will do laundry or other needs while I am there. Long or short stays, just let me know what you need. I've background checks that are stellar, never any incident. I am a professional.
About: I have been in the animal world since 2017 with my first job being at an animal shelter. In 2024 I graduated from a university to earn my bachelor's degree in canine science to further my knowledge and skill. I absolutely love dogs and all animals; I treat them with the same respect I would another person. I specialize in reward based training (positive reinforcement), dog body language, and behavior. Dog training should be fun for you and the dog. Positive reinforcement is the best way to train because it helps build better bonds between the pet parent and the dog, as well as teach important behaviors and discourage and substitute unwanted behaviors. In my care, your dog(s) will be treated as a part of the family. My main goal is to keep your pup(s) happy, calm, exercised; this should feel like their home away from home. I currently am working home full time for the business, from dog training to grooming to walking to daycare & boarding, we are here for you! There will always be someone here to keep an eye on your pup(s), when I leave my partner is here to help out. We are open everyday. The pups are always treated like my own. When staying over, they keep company with me and my dogs. We are always watching the dogs and making sure they are safe and comfortable. If I am going to your place I will always treat your place with respect.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life. Growing up we had 12 Dobermans on our property. Most of my childhood involves caring for them. Since then I’ve owned dogs, and worked on other platforms taking care of and walking other animals. You can trust your fur baby will be in the best of care. I am a stay at home mom, I am very flexible with your and your pets needs. I am open to any time you need me. I am very careful when dogs are in my home. I know being away from home can be scary for them. I don’t leave doors open- I treat every dog as if they could be runners. I try my best to relieve their anxiety and give them that extra attention or space.
“I'm very glad that we met Jenna and she is giving Violet walks on a regular basis. Jenna is very accountable and trust worthy. She is calm and understanding with my often anxious dog. And this week she responded to a last minute request for a walk... I appreciate the level of flexibility and quick responses that she provides.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities for 15 years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, play with, and care for their pets while away. I’m patient, attentive, active, and genuinely love animals. I understand the importance of making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I love taking dogs on hikes and to the beach as well. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week and on weekends. I enjoy staying active, spending time outdoors, and making sure pets get the care, attention, exercise, and companionship they need to feel happy and comfortable. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving, and attentive environment and always follow the owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding, routines, medications, walks, and special care needs. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior and body language to ensure they feel safe, secure, and well cared for at all times.
About: I grew up with all kinds of animals and have always taken care of a dog and/or cat. Friends, family and neighbors have often relied on me to walk their dog or pet sit. I'm also a teacher and am responsible and reliable. I'm currently a graduate student, so I have time on Wednesdays and weekends for pet sitting/walking. I currently have 2 goats and 2 cats at home, so I am comfortable with pet routines. I don't have space in my home to care for your pet, but I can do drop in visits and dog walks in your home/neighborhood.

“We had a great experience with Sarita! She took care of our dog at her place for a week. She was super reliable, communicative (lots of great pics, videos, and updates), and our pup absolutely loved her and her family. Overall, we were at complete ease knowing our dog was with Sarita and we highly recommend her for any of your dog care needs!”
“Emma was excellent caring for my dog Mango! She was very flexible about timing which was super helpful while I’m traveling. Would definitely recommend. My dog came back happy, tired and clearly wasn’t stressed out at all.”
About: Hi there! My name is Lauren. I have 11 years of pet care experience, along with 2 years of professional pet care experience through a boutique pet care company. During that time, I received training in pet care, first aid, and canine CPR, and gained hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats with a variety of personalities, needs, and routines. My soul-dog, Buster, was by my side for 11 wonderful years before sadly passing away in 2025. I’ve missed having that special furry companionship in my life ever since, and caring for dogs is something that brings me so much joy. I’m excited to provide the same love, patience, and attentive care to your pets that I’ve always given my own. I'm currently working towards my Masters Degree in Social Work, which is fully remote, meaning I am home 7 days a week to take care of your pet. I take pride in providing a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel relaxed and at home. My apartment is very pet-friendly, with plenty of nearby flat, open green space for walks, playtime, and fresh air. I’m meticulous about keeping food and water bowls clean and ensuring pets always have fresh water. I’m also very attentive to each pet parent’s instructions and routines, and I’m comfortable administering medication when needed. I have experience caring for puppies and senior dogs, and understand that every dog has their own personality, comfort level, and needs, including dogs who may experience anxiety.
“Amanda and Mitchell did an amazing job taking care of Louie while we were out of town for 5 days. They were great about taking Louie on daily walks and trips to the park, and provided lot updates with photos! They were very understanding when our return flight was delayed, and Amanda even offered to drop him off for free which was a huge help. He was a happy and tired boy when he got home!! Thank you Amanda and Mitchell, we will be back!”
“Gayane was an amazing sitter for Tookie. She was very communicative and loved that she read his care instructions and asked plenty of questions prior to drop off. We got lots of photos and videos while Tookie was eating, relaxing, and out on walks. We really appreciate Gayane for her care over the weekend. Would highly recommend!”
“Ross took such great care of Joey! He clearly is such a dog person who could intuitively figure out all of Joey’s quirks. Joey had a great stay and is probably already looking forward to his next stay with Ross!”
“Jennifer was great! This was our first time using Rover for our very playful golden retriever. Jennifer was quick to respond to all messages. We had a meet and greet with her and her dog to make sure it was a good fit. Her backyard is a great size. While we were away Jennifer sent us daily photos and updates, even a video. When I messaged her questions she responded quickly. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with Jennifer and will use her again!”
About: Hi! I'm Carly. After spending the last 15 years supporting executives in the tech industry, I'm taking some time to figure out what's next and focus on what I truly love -- animals. I've been around animals my entire life, stay involved with local rescue and fostering, and today I have several rescue dogs of my own. I'm available to travel, am reliable, organized, and take pride in being someone people can count on. Whether I'm caring for your family pets, your home, or both, my goal is to make your time away as worry-free as possible. I look forward to connecting! ⌂ 🐾 I'm currently taking time to figure out what's next for me professionally after spending the last 15 years working in tech. I have an extremely flexible schedule and ability to travel right now, and would love to be part of making sure your animals are taken care of in a way that works for you (walks, hikes, house hangs, etc). My home has a very large fenced in yard that my own dogs go wild in each day. I make sure all animals feel loved, are stimulated, and get whatever it is they need.
“Betsy loves her home away from home with Lanette and Dave! We can tell they really are dog people and care for our 7-year old lab like their own. They even gifted us a new slow-feeding bowl for her! Lanette was great at communicating and sending us updates/photos throughout our trip. They also were incredibly accommodating when our flight got delayed and Betsy needed to stay an extra night. We don’t like to leave Betsy often, but we know that we can trust Lanette and Dave to provide all the love and care she needs. I whole heartedly recommend them and know we will be using them again in the future!”
About: I have over 10 years of pet boarding experience. In my home are 2 cats, 1 pug and 1 turtle. My babies love when we have guests and truly enjoy the company as much as I do. I work great hours and not too long which leaves me with plenty of play time and 2 long walks a day. I spend most of my time at home which gives us plenty of quality time to hangout. There is a large patio on the second floor for sunbathing during the day while looking at a great view of the water. As well as 2 cats, 1 pug and a turtle who love company and everyone is free to roam the whole house but they do have their own fur baby room for space if they like.

“Milo had a good time there. He came home happy and even was brushed. Ding was very professional and very caring. I got updated during the day about how Milo was doing. I am one happy person when my dog is well cared for. Will bring him back again if I have to go out of town again! Thank you Ding.”
“Allora was great! I only have positive things to say, Coco seemed so happy staying with her and her family. Allora sent me frequent updates and pictures which was great! I will definitely be boarding Coco with her again.”
About: I've had pets most of my life. When I was born, my mom had three Cocker Spaniels. Over the years, I have had several large breed dogs and one small dog. I enjoy spending time hiking and training my own dog and others. Over the last several years, I have been helping my son with his pet care business, so I have had a lot of experience boarding pets. I am a retired teacher, so I am home most of the time. I do run some errands during the day or am out walking dogs. Most of our guest dogs stay in the living room where we spend most of our time. I have a fenced yard, a Standard Poodle that is very used to having guest dogs in my home, and three cats that live upstairs.
