Janet went above and beyond to make sure Ellie felt comfortable, loved, and part of the family. I received so many wonderful pictures and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. One of the sweetest highlights was seeing Ellie join in on family activities—she even got to dye Easter eggs! It was clear she was being treated like one of their own. Ellie had the best time playing with Janet’s dogs, running around in the backyard, and spending time with Janet’s daughters. She came home happy, relaxed, and clearly very spoiled with love and attention. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would 100% trust Janet again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care for their pet!”

“Kimberly was my first sitter since I joined Rover. She is an amazing and kind-hearted sitter. We met in person (meet and greet) before she took care of my fur babies, and you can tell she has a lot of love and care for animals. I had a lot of concerns and worries before I left for my trip and instructed Kimberly on everything I needed for my babies, and she did a 110% job.

“Megan was great! Her care for Kora started months before my actual vacation needs. She took the time to ease my anxiety by patiently answering all of my Rover-related questions. During our meet and greet, she let Kora take things at her own pace while getting to know her and her babies. I even started leaving Kora with her once a week so she could get comfortable, and Kora came back yesterday tired, happy, and well cared for. Thank you, Megan, for all your patience, kindness, and care for Kora!”
“If I could offer a rating of 6 out of 5, I would! Thank you as always for treating our little Brunni like family! She’s always so happy to spend time with you and your family, including her bestie FuFu, the Old English Sheepdog. See you soon. 💯❤️🥰⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Thank you Mia for caring for Nixon! Mia was always prompt with her responses. She gave photo updates frequently and let us know that Nixon was doing well! Mia ensured that Nixon was comforted when he heard fireworks as he does not like them. We appreciate Mia and her fiancé for taking such good care of Nixon! We highly recommend her!”
“Jerry was great! My dog instantly felt comfortable with her upon arrival, and Jerry sent a ton of videos throughout the day that was reassuring considering it was our first time using Rover for doggy day care, and for an extended period of time.”
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.
“I can tell that he really loves dogs. The first day that mu dog stayed with him, he didn't want to leave and that let me know that he was happy and felt safe to be there. Daily I received a report on the things my dog was doing and pictures. I most definitely will be sending my dog back to stay a few days out of the week while I work.”
“Alicia was lovely. From the first minute she treated Milo very well, answered all my questions and sent me updates. I felt comfortable and calm leaving my Milo with her. She and her family are beautiful people and we will definitely come back again! Thank you very much for such a good experience!”
“Kristina was amazing! She took great care of my dog coco for the day! She eased my anxiety and was super sweet! She sent me pictures and videos throughout the day to update me. Coco would love to come back in the future!”
About: I have been a life long dog lover. I grew up on a ranch with many animals which is where my love if animals started. I have always been the go-to person for friends and families who need help dog sitting while they are away. I have experience and background clearance through Riverside County Sheriffs Animal Services as a volunteer and dog foster. When your pet is in my care, they will be treated as my own with love and structure. I am a full time teleworker. I am home with my own dog daily. I am able to tend to the dog’s needs anytime and regularly take short lunch walks to manage energy. I have a fenced yard and multiple kennels in the home, if needed. I prefer to have dogs that can be comfortable in the space without being in a kennel, but it is available if the pup prefers a kennel. If I am caring for the pet in another home, regular check-ins in a scheduled basis.
“We booked Chelly for a few hours to watch our 3 month old puppy, Peanut. We loved that Peanut was well taken care of while having lots of playtime with Chelly’s puppy. We can tell Peanut had a blast because he went straight to his bed as soon as we got home. Lol. Will definitely book with Chelly again.”
“Great with accommodating last minute request. Professional and friendly. Love that they gave a friendly dog that my dog got to play with to not be alone during his stay. Will book again.”

About: Hello 👋 I’m Brittany — a professional pet sitter and dog walker originally from New York with a huge love for animals. I have veterinary assistant training, dog training assistant experience, and I’ve volunteered at numerous animal shelters throughout my life. Beyond my professional experience, I’ve been around animals my entire life. I grew up spending time on my grandparents’ horse farm in upstate New York, helping care for the horses and other animals. Over the years, I’ve personally owned and cared for a wide variety of pets, from dogs and cats to small animals, birds, reptiles, and farm animals. Dogs and horses have always held a special place in my heart. As a mom to a teenager and 5 fur babies of my own, I know pets are family. I treat every animal like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. 🐾 I have a flexible schedule during the week. I’m only unavailable from 7:30–9:00 AM and 2:30–4:00 PM on weekdays for my daughter’s school drop-off and pick-up. I come prepared for every visit with my own utility belt stocked with all-natural treats and waste bags, plus my own leash, ice-cold water, and a travel water bowl. I also bring a tennis ball for playtime, a brush for pups who enjoy it, and paw balm when needed. 🐾 You’ll usually see me arrive for visits by e-bike 🚲, but I use my car if weather conditions call for it. I’m also comfortable caring for large, strong, and high-energy dogs.
“Alexis is an amazing caretaker! Her communication, attention to detail, and patience quickly won over my picky and anxious babies. Alexis provides thoughtful and detailed notes after she checks in on my dogs and responds very quickly to any last minute changes. We will definitely book again in the future.”
About: I have volunteer experience at an animal shelter, providing walks, and cat and dog enrichment. I have been around dogs and cats all my life, and have two cats of my own. I am currently a college student, and I think taking up pet care would be a great way to use the spare time that I have. Whether your pet is an inside or outside pet, I will provide the best care I can varying to the pet owners home, or yard.
“Marian was great. She showed up on time took the time to learn a bit about my pups and my pups were excited to meet her. My family felt comfortable with her and would highly recommend her (my pups were tired after).”
About: I grew up with having dogs in my house. At one point we had two at once! I was expected to take care of them so I learned the foundations from my family. I am use to bigger dogs such as golden retrievers but I also enjoy more medium sized dogs as well. I have experience being trusted with caring for pets of my family, my friends, and strangers. I feel confident in my ability to watch dogs of any breed, and I am also confident of my ability to be a patient and caring cat caretaker. While I did not grow up with cats, I have had multiple experiences taking care and providing a loving environment for them. I am pretty go with the flow, flexible, and eager to hang out with your pets! I am a graduate student that will have classes during the evening, but I would love to fill my day with animals! I am willing to be flexible in providing care and I am looking forward to helping out! With my experience I understand that being a caring and attentive caregiver is important for pets. They are almost always unconditionally loving and I mirror that in my care. I am not afraid to ask questions on how to provide your pet the best care. I understand that every pet is unique and I want to ensure their comfort and safety. I am very communicative as well! I love to send updates and pics over text!
“Zeus is having the best time with Kathy on his weekly recurring walks. She is reliable and makes sure he is well taken care of when she is with him. I would recommend her services to anyone.”
“Bennie loves her adventures and play dates with Brooke! She’s easygoing and always flexible with my wildly last minute booking requests. Thanks for all your puppy love and help. See you soon!”
“Jill came through with a last minute request… she not only walked our pup but also made sure he was fed, hydrated, and was mindful to keep the walk in the cool shade due to the afternoon heat! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter/walker.”
About: I’ve had pets as part of my family my entire life. Currently own 2 dogs and 1 cat…. They are great, give lots of joy, and keep me busy. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I’d love to go on more walks and care for more cats and dogs. I have experience with many breeds and sizes. I don’t expect to board pets right now as we have a full household but I can walk and provide visits to your pets while you are out of town.

“I highly recommend Dee Dee and her loving family to take special care of your dog. They truly treated my dog Cooper like one of their family. My senior age dog has some separation anxiety issues and is noise sensitive, and the family was patient and kind to him as he settled in to the new environment. Cooper got lots of ball throws from the kids in the back yard and lots of snuggles at night. I got lots of pictures and updates throughout his stay. I got to relax on my vacation knowing my dog was living his “Other” Best Life! This is family that wants to do Rover because they just love dogs and they want to be blessed by having a dog in their home. I could just feel the love and care that this family showered my precious dog with.”

Communication was excellent, and it was clear that he truly cared about their well-being. I would absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable pet sitter.”

We had a setback and were late to pick him up, there was no problem or complaint. They were always very kind.”

Right away I knew our dogs would be well taken care of. Such a great vibe. I was able to also meet her dogs which were obviously well cared for. I highly recommend Kimberly and will be using her care again in the future!”
“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! 🐾💛”
