“Doh was an excellent communicator for our first time experience with Rover. Louie was in good hands with extra playmates and she treated him like he was her own dog. I would highly recommend Doh to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“Grisel was great! We got pics of every mea/walk/ play time and our dog seemed to love every minute of it! We’ll definitely be booking with Grisel again. Thank you!!”
“Very communicative, very accommodating. Large yard, my pup LOVED her time with them and is already having withdrawals from her amazing experience! Thank you so much to both of you!!!”
“I’m a repeat customer. My very active terrier comes home happy and exhausted (my favorite combination!), so I know she had lots of play time. When we returned the second time she was pulling at the leash like crazy right out of the car, excited to get into that dog-friendly yard and run around.”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Ana Carolina and her husband Chris! They were incredibly kind, responsive, and even offered to do a meet-and-greet on their own time, which meant so much to us. They took genuine interest in Mila’s care plan and asked thoughtful questions to make sure every detail was right, as well as serving regular updates and pictures. Mila can be slow to warm up to new people, but she absolutely loved them — which says everything. We’re so grateful for their care and would highly recommend them!”
“Nelly was awesome! 🌟 She had great communication throughout the stay, always sending us updates and photos of Remy. Anytime we followed up, she responded within 5–10 minutes, which gave us so much peace of mind. She was also super flexible when we needed to leave Remy for one more night, which we really appreciated. Remy absolutely loves her and had the best time playing in her big backyard. We’ll definitely be booking with Nelly again! 🐾💛”
“Hana was great! She looked after the dog like it was her own and always updated us with what ever they were doing. She sent pictures and videos every day of their daily excursions. She let him sleep in bed with her and even cooked for my little baby when he didn’t eat his own food. Highly recommended and will be using her in the future!”
“I had concerns how my 5 year old rescued German Shepherd would adjust with the extended stay but Reginay handled him very professionally. She shared videos and kept us very informed which helped us extremely so we could enjoy our vacation. We are very glad we found her and know we can take future vacations with our boy being in good hands. Great Job Reginay!!!”
“Danielle was a fantastic host. She is a good communicator, very accommodating and overall just a delightful person. Cersei felt 100% comfortable staying with Danielle and had fun playing with her own pups as well.”
“Serena & Wes took wonderful care of our dog! We appreciated all the updates & pictures. They really know a lot about dogs! We were able to relax & enjoy our vacation knowing he was so well taken care of.”
“Expert with huskies. If you have a husky book with Ekaterina ! She has good hours for pickup and drop off and is very accommodating. Has a backyard that is good. She is also good with communication.”
“Sergio took very good care of my dog while I was away for a weekend. I got updates & photos on how my little one was doing and adjusting to the new environment. I would definitely use his services again if needed.”
“Martha was awesome! Very attentive and caring. Kept in contact to let me know how Angel was adjusting. And sent pictures which reassured me that she is definitely an animal lover 🩷🩷🩷”
“Philip was an amazing dog and house sitter for us while we were out of the country for 5 days. He took great care of both of our pups and we never once had to worry about anything and could truly enjoy our time away. He even cleaned up the house and vacuumed so we came home to a clean house. Not something we asked of him, just something he did and was greatly appreciated. One of our pups is high energy and he took extra time to take her to the park with one of his dogs on most of the days we were gone so they could play, run and chase each other. Our other dog is over 100 lbs and he walked with him each day without a problem. He easily met the needs of both of our dogs. He followed all care instructions and is very responsible. We highly recommend him for any of your dog needs. Thank you Philip and we look forward to using you again in the future.”
“Michele has a nice setup for keeping our boys safe and well cared for including easy access to a lovely backyard. They also enjoyed their daily walks in the quiet neighborhood. It was nice to enjoy our time away while they enjoyed their time with Michele. Thank you so much!”
“Laura took such good care of my cat Shiny and made all the accommodations she needed. She even checked in and sent me a couple updates with photos. Thank you Laura for making my vacation worry free!”

“Emma is a god send! Easy communication and timeliness to appointments make her easy to trust with our fur babies whom she looked after during an out of town trip. She even gained the trust of the shy one. Don't hesitate to have her look after yours!”
“Aimee was wonderful! She cared for mine and my husband’s two cats while we were away. One of our cats is known for not being so friendly towards strangers, but she took to Aimee right away, which gave me a lot of reassurance. She provided excellent care for our cats and I hope she is available again next time we need a sitter.”
“Davina was amazing! Our two cats loved her and warmed up to her right away. She sent thorough updates with lots of pictures after every visit. Very reliable and trustworthy and we will definitely be utilizing her again!! 100/10!”
“So kind and flexible and reliable and was able to provide an extra days worth’s of pet sitting in the 11th hour due to flight delays while I was traveling. I’d definitely use Audrey again!”
“Kat was absolutely perfect and I couldn't recommend her more highly! Excellent communication, lots of photos and details, always right on time, and so wonderful and attentive with my challenging cat. She made a long time away from my cat so much easier and anxiety free knowing she was on top of everything. I will 100% use Kat again in the future, she did an amazing job!”
“Michelle was absolutely excellent helping out with my fur baby!! Mabel took to her very quickly which is quite rare as she can be skittish but immediately came out when we did our meet and greet visit which was a huge plus for me, that she already liked Michelle from the get go, and so did I. I loved the photos Michelle shared with me daily and was really thoughtful with her visits and informed me what Mabel was up to. I can’t really say enough good things about her, the added cleaning and vacuuming up some hair balls was so awesome, I really appreciate that extra kindness. A thousand percent would book again! Thank you SO much for your help Michelle! your awesome 🤩!!”
“Danielle was amazing! My kitties loved her and her communication was impeccable. She followed directions and took great care of Nori and Momo. I highly recommend Danielle for long term and short term care for your babies. I am happy to say, she will be adding me to her list of returning customers! Thank you again Danielle!”
“Markita made our first Rover booking the easiest decision ever. We were nervous leaving Freddie and Charlie alone with a “stranger” for 12 days - this was the longest we’ve been away from them. Markita gave us the peace of mind we needed to relax on our trip. She was responsive and went the extra mile with everything. Most of all, she bonded with the boys which was really special. Thanks Markita for taking care of our boys and our home! We know exactly who to call on to take care of them for our next trip. ❤️🐱”
“YES - you want to use Bekah!!! She took time away from her family and friends to take care of our dog on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Years holidays!!! Excellent communication skills and incredibly kind. She did an excellent job taking care of our mini schnauzer. We had her do in-home visits twice a day while were gone for two weeks. She gives prompt responses and check-ins with pictures so we know what’s happening at home. We didn’t have to worry one bit about our dog! 100% recommendation especially if you are considering an extended trip.”
“Mel did a fantastic job caring for my cat! Our cat loved Mel and she came up with some really creative games to interact with her. We loved all the photos and videos Mel sent. I will 100% book with Mel again!”
“I highly recommend Philip & Jenny who have been helping me with pet care for my young puppy when I have work commitments that require me to be away. They are responsive, dependable, flexible to work with and great with dogs. It is a relief to have supportive pet care I can trust.”
“Erika is a great sitter and we look forward to working with her again! She was very communicative and extremely flexible when our travel plans changed at the last minute. Our cats loved seeing her and it was great for us to know that everything at home was taken care of, it made our vacation that much more relaxing.”
About: Ive grown up with cats almost my whole life. I would cat-sit for my cousin quite often through out my high-school career and she only trusted me to take care of her kitty's. I have 2 cats of my own and had a family cat that stayed with us for 20 years, so I have experience with senior cats as well!
“Doh took excellent care of my cats including getting emergency medical attention when one fell ill. I have complete trust in her judgment and confidence in her dedication to the cats and my home. She has great attention to detail and communication skills.”
“Natalie is wonderful. My sister and I were worried about leaving our cats since they both have medical needs. Not only was Natalie willing to administer the medicine, but she was also extremely caring. She put our minds at ease! We got detailed updates every visit, and she made sure to give both cats attention, not just the necessities of food and water. Your pets will be in great hands with Natalie!”
“Elizabeth (Liz) did an awesome job! She was more than sweet and in love with my cat. Which is what we all love, when our pets are loved by the sitter. She kept my house very tidy, meds given, food area clean, etc”
About: note: I primarily board and daycare puppies - check out my puppy rate (lower). Adults are at a higher rate and considere on case by case basis due to my dogs being attacked in the past. Only small/medium submissive adults will be considered. We love puppies! I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, and they’ve always been part of the family. My home is cozy and dog-friendly, with two large pups of my own and a spacious, fenced backyard they can enjoy through a dog door while I’m home. When I’m away, all dogs stay safely inside. To keep things comfortable, I host no more than four dogs at a time (including my own). If you have more than two dogs from the same household, I may be able to make an exception depending on their size and needs. I know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your pup with someone new, so I’m happy to send daily updates and pictures to give you peace of mind. Your dog will be treated like family here! Get $20 off your first booking with me https://www.rover.com/sit/annetn64528 I work from home so I’m home most of the day. I try to limit time away from home to 4 hours a day. If I’m watching a puppy or a dog that cannot be alone for 4 hours, I can accommodate if my schedule is open. For long stays, there are some days i may be out longer than 4 hours if I have an event but I will let you know before booking. Your pup is welcome to lounge on the furniture and will receive plenty of love, attention, and playtime from me and my two dogs and will have free roam in the house. We have a communal toy bin and a spacious, fenced backyard accessible via a dog door when I’m home. When I leave, the dogs are secured inside the house. Until your pup is ready to free roam unsupervised with my dogs, they’ll have a safe, separate hallway complete with a comfy dog bed, toys, and water, so they can still see and enjoy the company of the others for the times I am not home . If your fur baby prefers a crate while I’m away, I can do that only if they genuinely enjoy their crate and look forward to settling in. If your dog enjoys walks, I’m happy to take them for a drive to a nearby park or a friendly neighborhood walk. I care about a harmonious environment, so I can only host dogs that get along well with others. My home is best suited for pups who love to play and mingle, and I currently host up to two small to medium dogs to keep things cozy. We love puppies.

Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
“Heath Bar didn’t make it easy - he barked the entire time at Danielle’s unless she was there with him, I k ew he had separation anxiety but the only time it presented for the last several years was while he was alone in the car. His being alone in the house was not a problem for him. My take away is to be certain someone will be at home with him for most of the time he will be in someone else’s care. Danielle was very responsive and kept me informed the day Heath was in her care.”
“Grisel is amazing! I highly recommended. I needed somewhere to send my dog for the day while I was gone. She was able to easily accommodate us and she’s provided excellent care for my dog! I got frequent updates and her and her daughter were even able to drive my dog home. I will definitely be using her again!”
“Julie was welcoming in our meet and great. She showed me her doggycare area and told me details about taking care of dogs. There seems to be a lot, but they're all behaving reasonably well. I wasn't quite sure my pug would do well, but he fit in just fine. Her other caretaker, Diante (sp?) was also welcoming. Overall, a great daycare.”
“Thank you Nelly! For watching our fur babies! Nelly was super flexible and communicative. We were running late and she was flexible with the timing. Would def use Nelly again if we are in the area.”
About: I am a longtime cat and dog lover with over 25 years experience in caring for pets. I also have experience working in healthcare and love to care for senior pets, puppies, kittens and pets of all ages and sizes. I am recently retired from my 30 plus years in Healthcare and am looking forward to my dream job of providing your fur babies care in my loving home. I have a fenced yard with a nearby park in Woodlake neighborhood for outdoor fun. But most days we will be cuddling on the couch.

“I dropped off my 7 lb chihuahua, Molly, for a daycare session with Hana yesterday, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! I’ll admit I was really nervous at first, Molly is tiny, and there were two other dogs there, one of whom was super excited to meet a new friend. So much energy can make Molly hesitant, but Hana immediately stepped in with calm, confident leadership. She set clear boundaries to help everyone settle down, which made me feel so much more comfortable. Throughout the day, she sent me several videos showing Molly relaxed and happy, calmly hanging out with the other dogs and going for a nice walk. By the end of the day, Molly was curled up on the couch with Hana, her husband, and her two new friends, a huge sign of trust from my usually cautious little dog! Hana showed wonderful leadership, genuine care, and constant attention throughout the day. I left feeling completely reassured and grateful to have found someone so capable and kind. I’ll definitely be booking again!”

We are are lifetime pet lovers and we love them all like they are our own. Either myself or my wife will be in the home 24/7 so we are able to provide all necessary care (walking, feeding, exercising and bathroom breaks as needed). I have a fully fenced front and back yard with plenty of space for your dogs to roam. I can easily crate your pet as needed. Either myself of my wife will be at the house at all times. I am home night and weekends and she is home days. Someone will be at home 24/7 to meet your pets needs/ Dogs are fed and walked as needed and provided a bathroom break every 2 hours. I also have a fully fenced front and back yard as well as a park down the street for outdoor play.
“Risa was super welcoming when we arrived. She kept me updated during the stay and my doggy seemed very relaxed with Risa. She also drew an adorable picture of my doggo. Would recommend!”
About: I have been a pet owner for virtually my entire life! Cats, dogs, rabbits and even a bird! My partner and I recently lost our beloved Jack Russell Terrier “Terrie” after 14 wonderful years. While regular travel commitments make it difficult to adopt another companion of our own at this time, we would love the opportunity to care for your “best fur-iend” when we are home! My partner and I both work from home, so, rest assured, someone will always be there with your pet for playtime, potty breaks and walks. I have a fenced yard in a quiet neighborhood. The house is of a decent size and currently we are without a full-time pet of our own. Your pet will enjoy being the center of attention!
“Marianne was great. Easy to communicate with and responsive. Our pup was happy and worn out when we picked her up. Looking forward to leaving Winnie in her capable hands again!”
About: I may not have dogs of my own but I sure do love being around them. Before moving I use to volunteer at an animal shelter and I loved it there just to see how dogs were able to have at least a couple of minutes of happiness from pups to seniors. I also foster kitties and have two of my own! I am currently attending nursing school, so can’t fit a full time job into my schedule. This is the best option because it’s something I love and I can still complete my studies! I would first build trust with the animal ensuring they are not frightened by me. Aside from that I love for the owners to tell me more about their pet to allow me to best adjust my skills to accommodate the pet.
“My dogs came back super happy and tired from Marc’s. I needed someone quick and he was very accommodating. My dogs had fun with Marc and his dog Odin. We will definitely be using him in the future.”
About: Hi, I’m Zarmene (or Z)! Animal care and behavior are my true passions. Over the years, I’ve learned so much from my own dog and two cats, as well as from rescuing and reuniting dogs with their families. Volunteering at sanctuaries and caring for injured wildlife has only deepened my knowledge. What clients love about me: ~Trustworthy and reliable with both pets and homes. ~Detailed updates with notes, pics/videos, and a solid understanding of animal care and training. ~Patient and consistent, especially with anxious pets—dogs quickly warm up to me! ~Positive reinforcement is my go-to—no shock collars, just communication that works for each pet. ~I believe in tailoring care to each animal’s needs, listening to their cues, and helping them feel safe and comfortable. ~On-leash walks are my specialty, and adventure days are available for an extra fee. Note: If you're more than 5 miles from me, a small mileage charge may apply, depending on the number of visits. Feel free to ask any questions at our Meet & Greet before booking! Currently, I am a freelancer, so I make my own hours, with plenty of time to love your pets, as well as my own senior dog and 2 cats! Pet sitting in your home: ~It will be kept as clean as you left it—and maybe even cleaner, time permitting! ~I ask that is is clean and scent/smoke-free (allergies) when I arrive. ~I ask for a little space in the fridge for my food. Day care or boarding in my home: ~The spare bedroom is a Pet Air BnB! Enough room for pets to play together throughout the home or take their own space in a room. ~A crate/kennel with padding/bed is required, for everyone's safety and comfort. ~There are multiple clean beds for all the fur babies. That said, a boarding pet is most comfortable when they have their own bed or blanket brought with them, which must be flea/pest-free and clean. ~A collar with tags and leash are required. Harnesses are also recommended. ~Due to landlord restrictions, I can't accept pets in my home over 35 lbs or certain "dangerous" breeds (insurance rules, unfortunately). ~I use only non-toxic, natural, and eco-friendly cleaners and pest repellents for the safety of your pets and the environment. Everywhere: ~I stay alert to your pets' social cues, respecting their boundaries and addressing their needs. I provide stimulating opportunities to explore and burn off energy in a safe and respectful manner.

About: I’m not your average sitter, I work as a rescue pilot, helping relocate dogs across California, and I’ve cared for a wide range of pups from high-energy escape artists to senior dogs needing medication and extra support. I’m calm under pressure, detail-oriented, and genuinely love getting to know each dog’s personality and routine. Whether your dog needs a structured walk, extra patience, or just someone attentive and reliable, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for every step of the way. As a flight instructor and commercial pilot, my schedule is pretty flexible, mostly depending on my students, the weather, and if any pups are needing rescue. Meet & greets $10 within 5 miles, $15 within 10 miles from me! I can crate and transport your dog if need be, otherwise will be caring for them in your home and surrounding area/neighborhood for walks! :)
About: 🐾Hi!🐾 My names Nelly🤗, me and my family have been around animals especially dogs all of our lives. I can truly say my husband is the reason I became even more of a dog lover now. We love to have fun, go for walks/runs, play at parks, go to the lake, or just be outside in our backyard soaking up the sun. We have lots of love and snuggles to give any dog that suffers with anxiety or depression. We all know how frightening it can be to be somewhere new, so we will always do our best to make them feel right at home and part of the family. We can give lots of love to your elder dogs who need the extra TLC. We enjoy having one on one stays so your pup/pups (the more the merrier😂) have all of our attention during their stay here with us. BUT if there is any and I mean any intertwinement within stays, I will always let it be known before moving forward with the booking to ensure we are all on the same page. We have two rooms designated for pups to be separated if necessary. The safety of your pups is our top priority and I will always be transparent when some dates or times may cross paths. We are doing this as a family which means way more fun for all of us ☺️. As you can see by the pictures, I have a son who is 8 years old. His name is Aiden. He loves dogs and any fur animal. His goal is to have a dog when he’s a little older, so this is also a great experience for him to learn how it is to take care of a dog, with us doing most of the work 😂. My husband’s name is Josue and he has been around dogs all his life. He is great with dogs of all sizes and always has treats to make sure they know that they’re doing a great job. Anytime my husband sees any dogs all he wants to do is lay on the ground and have them all over him lol. Since we’re doing this as a family, we want to thank you very much for giving us the opportunity to watch, love, and care for your pups. I am doing this full-time, I love and enjoy taking care of your pups so I will always be available with open arms. I have plenty of time to walk, play, train, and snuggle your pups. I have a great backyard and a family ready to play. Doing this full-time has been a blessing not only for myself but for my family as well 💙💙. I have a fenced yard and I provide the crates as well if needed and we have all sizes. My house is very secure with a very big backyard, as well as two dog rooms for them to play in, sleep in, or have down time. The house will always be open for roaming. I want them to feel at home here🐾💙
“Danielle is a knowledgeable, experienced dog handler. In addition to having a nice rapport with canines, she communicates with humans actively and clearly. I would happily work with Danielle again, should the opportunity arise.”
About: As an educator with a bachelor's degree in Child and Adolescent Development, caregiving, patience, and responsibility are a huge part of who I am. I'm dependable, attentive, and comfortable pet sitting, feeding, walking, playing with pets, following detailed routines, and providing plenty of companionship and affection. I'm also completely comfortable with the less glamorous parts of pet care, including cleaning up poop and other messes, because I know that's simply part of keeping animals happy, healthy, and comfortable. I've had many pets of my own over the years, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can genuinely trust to care for your pet and your home while you're away. While I'm not able to have a pet of my own right now, I would love the opportunity to give that same care, attention, and affection to yours. I look forward to getting to know your pet, making them feel comfortable and loved, and caring for them as if they were my own. 🐾 My schedule allows me to provide pet care on weekends and during times when I'm not working. I'm available for drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and pet sitting, and I do my best to work with each pet owner's routine and scheduling needs. I understand how important consistency is for pets, especially when their owners are away, so I make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship. I take caring for someone's pet and being trusted in their home seriously. I carefully follow all instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walking routines, household rules, and any special preferences their pet may have. I pay close attention to doors, gates, leashes, and the pet's surroundings to help keep them safe and secure. I also make sure to clean up after pets and leave the home tidy, because I believe respecting someone's home is just as important as providing loving and dependable care for their pet.
About: I have experience caring for my own Border Collie mixes into their senior years, so I’m very comfortable with pets who need a little extra patience, attention, and care. I’ve pet-sat for a variety of animals—including dogs, cats, turtles, and even chickens—and always make sure each pet gets the individualized care they need. I’m responsible, dependable, and have experience house-sitting for friends and family, ensuring every pet receives their daily walks, playtime, and plenty of love. I’ll be in Sacramento till March 20th before traveling abroad for 3 months. After moving back home from Boulder, CO, I’d love to spend my free time caring for your pet(s)! I’m available all days of the week and happy to accommodate different schedules. I also enjoy running and hiking—perfect for pets who need to burn off some extra zoomies! I am attentive towards your pet(s) and make sure they are happy and comfortable whether it’s on a walk or in their own home.
About: Ever since I was 10 I've taken care of dogs. I have experience in many different ages of dogs from newborn puppies to full grown. Since it is summer your pets will always fit in my schedule! Saturday and Sunday will be the only days I can't fit your pets in. I will always be willing to feed, clean, play and walk with your pets if they need it. I can stay overnight too as well.
“Vahid has been kind and gentle in dealing with Boo’s separation anxiety. He gently encourages her and makes her feel safe and secure. We’re fortunate to have him care for our dog.”
About: I’m a calm, reliable pet sitter with 20+ years of experience caring for cats and dogs. I’m a nursing student, former high school teacher, so I’m used to detailed, compassionate care and regular background checks. I don’t board animals in my home (I have five cats), but I come to you for walks, playtime, feeding, overnights, and light meds for easygoing pets. I know how stressful it is to leave your animals, so my goal is to be the trustworthy stand‑in so you can travel or be away knowing your pets are truly looked after with love. I’m currently focused only on nursing school, my schedule is flexible enough that I can usually match your pet's normal routine, so their days stay predictable, calm, and as undisturbed as possible while you’re away. When I care for pets in a client’s home, my focus is on safety, routine, and keeping their environment calm and familiar. I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, walks, medications, and house rules (furniture, crates, leashes, yard, etc.). I keep doors and gates secure at all times, double‑check collars and harnesses before walks, and never let dogs off‑leash. I am comfortable staying overnight, doing multiple check‑ins, or longer visits so pets get real company, play, and supervision rather than just a quick food drop. Because of my background healthcare and education, I am used to being observant, documenting changes, and taking responsibility seriously, so people can travel knowing their pets and home are being respectfully cared for.
“Hannah is wonderful!! My puppy Pepper is my little princess, & I feel so comfortable knowing that Hannah is watching her & taking her on walks. Pepper is very shy at first, and Hannah took the time to come over & meet her before walks started, which made a huge difference. Hannah is prompt with responses, sends super cute photos, and really cares about my little puppy. Couldn’t be happier! Thank you ?”
About: Hello! I’ve had dogs all my life and love getting out and walking them. I’m a recent UC Davis Animal Science graduate starting at UPenn for Vet School this year. I’ve walked a huge range of breeds, sizes, and energy levels, everything from high-energy German Shorthaired Pointers, Huskies, Pitbulls, and Shepherds to Golden Retrievers, Cocker Spaniels, and Frenchies. With a year and a half of experience as a veterinary assistant, time as an SPCA volunteer, and extensive coursework working with animals, I'm especially attentive on walks. I know how to spot subtle body language, manage leash reactivity, keep dogs safe on busy sidewalks, and administer any oral medications if needed before or after a walk. Whether your dog needs a fast-paced exercise walk or a calm neighborhood stroll, they’ll be in safe, experienced hands! I am currently on summer break before moving to Philadelphia for Vet School, and so I am free any day of the week at almost times are needed! I am free on Tuesdays, just not between 11-3! If you would like a walk on a blocked day please message me as I might be available at different times on that day. Safety is my top priority on every walk. My background as a veterinary assistant and shelter volunteer trained me to handle unpredictable behaviors, read stress cues, and keep dogs secure on the go. I follow your exact instructions for leash setups, harness adjustments, and route preferences. If your dog is prone to bolting or rushing doors, I use careful barrier techniques so they stay safely inside while I enter and exit. On the sidewalk, I stay focused on city traffic, managing space around other dogs, and avoiding street hazards. My clinical training also means I recognize early signs of heat fatigue or physical discomfort, and I can easily give any needed medications before or after our walk. You can count on a safe, attentive outing every time.
About: I’ve always had family pets. We’ve adopted several dogs, young and old, over the years. We currently do not have our own pets, but understand how important it is to feel relaxed when traveling, knowing your furry family is taken care of while away. I am self-employed and work from home. This allows me to be very accommodating when watching your pets and/or home. My wife is an RN and would be able to step in should my schedule not accommodate a particular situation. I prefer to watch your pets in their routine environment knowing it makes them less anxious while you’re away. Depending on your pet and their disposition, I could also allow them time in our home.
“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've been taking care of animals for years, I've had a range of my own pets from dwarf hamsters and parakeets to golden retrievers and fish, I could cover any base you need! I'm almost always constantly available so I should be a-okay all day any day that your pet needs care! I can't wait to meet all of your sweet babies. I make sure to keep my house very clean and lock away anything that may be dangerous to your precious animals whether that may be a plastic kid's toy or a room that's too warm I will adjust whatever is needed to make you pet feel comfortable!
“Fatemeh is a saint. Our Bono absolutely loved her. She went above and beyond by taking her time with our dog to do some lead training as part of his walks. He pulls much less and we have her to thank for that. She was very communicative, posted beautifully posed pictures of each walk, and coordinated easily with my mom who was watching Bono while we were away. If you’re lucky enough to have Fatemeh care for your pet, you can trust that your furry friend will be in great hands.”
“I highly recommend Nicole taking care of your four legged babies.... She is amazing! She did a great job taking care of my German Shepherd. She is very punctual and I appreciate that she brought treats for Jax that he likes. Thanks again.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets for 10+ years including my personal pup, hamster, and kitten! I overnight sit and have even done work as a professional caregiver. I’m currently working full time until my schooling picks up. I will then be working part time but am still able to travel for sitting and/or sit at home. I’m flexible and can work to your schedule. I have a fenced in yard and friendly neighbors. We have a park directly across from my house. I am also a very active athlete and generally I go outdoors a couple times a days for walks anyways.
“Bailey did a fabulous job watching our fur babies. She sent us lots of updates, and not only walked them but hung out and had some fun play time. The dogs took to her immediately. I’ve never had them warm up to a new person so quickly! Would highly recommend her services!”

“Doh was an excellent communicator for our first time experience with Rover. Louie was in good hands with extra playmates and she treated him like he was her own dog. I would highly recommend Doh to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“Grisel was great! We got pics of every mea/walk/ play time and our dog seemed to love every minute of it! We’ll definitely be booking with Grisel again. Thank you!!”
“I’m a repeat customer. My very active terrier comes home happy and exhausted (my favorite combination!), so I know she had lots of play time. When we returned the second time she was pulling at the leash like crazy right out of the car, excited to get into that dog-friendly yard and run around.”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Ana Carolina and her husband Chris! They were incredibly kind, responsive, and even offered to do a meet-and-greet on their own time, which meant so much to us. They took genuine interest in Mila’s care plan and asked thoughtful questions to make sure every detail was right, as well as serving regular updates and pictures. Mila can be slow to warm up to new people, but she absolutely loved them — which says everything. We’re so grateful for their care and would highly recommend them!”
“Nelly was awesome! 🌟 She had great communication throughout the stay, always sending us updates and photos of Remy. Anytime we followed up, she responded within 5–10 minutes, which gave us so much peace of mind. She was also super flexible when we needed to leave Remy for one more night, which we really appreciated. Remy absolutely loves her and had the best time playing in her big backyard. We’ll definitely be booking with Nelly again! 🐾💛”
“I had concerns how my 5 year old rescued German Shepherd would adjust with the extended stay but Reginay handled him very professionally. She shared videos and kept us very informed which helped us extremely so we could enjoy our vacation. We are very glad we found her and know we can take future vacations with our boy being in good hands. Great Job Reginay!!!”
“Serena & Wes took wonderful care of our dog! We appreciated all the updates & pictures. They really know a lot about dogs! We were able to relax & enjoy our vacation knowing he was so well taken care of.”
“Expert with huskies. If you have a husky book with Ekaterina ! She has good hours for pickup and drop off and is very accommodating. Has a backyard that is good. She is also good with communication.”
“Sergio took very good care of my dog while I was away for a weekend. I got updates & photos on how my little one was doing and adjusting to the new environment. I would definitely use his services again if needed.”
“Philip was an amazing dog and house sitter for us while we were out of the country for 5 days. He took great care of both of our pups and we never once had to worry about anything and could truly enjoy our time away. He even cleaned up the house and vacuumed so we came home to a clean house. Not something we asked of him, just something he did and was greatly appreciated. One of our pups is high energy and he took extra time to take her to the park with one of his dogs on most of the days we were gone so they could play, run and chase each other. Our other dog is over 100 lbs and he walked with him each day without a problem. He easily met the needs of both of our dogs. He followed all care instructions and is very responsible. We highly recommend him for any of your dog needs. Thank you Philip and we look forward to using you again in the future.”
“Michele has a nice setup for keeping our boys safe and well cared for including easy access to a lovely backyard. They also enjoyed their daily walks in the quiet neighborhood. It was nice to enjoy our time away while they enjoyed their time with Michele. Thank you so much!”
About: I have been a pet owner for virtually my entire life! Cats, dogs, rabbits and even a bird! My partner and I recently lost our beloved Jack Russell Terrier “Terrie” after 14 wonderful years. While regular travel commitments make it difficult to adopt another companion of our own at this time, we would love the opportunity to care for your “best fur-iend” when we are home! My partner and I both work from home, so, rest assured, someone will always be there with your pet for playtime, potty breaks and walks. I have a fenced yard in a quiet neighborhood. The house is of a decent size and currently we are without a full-time pet of our own. Your pet will enjoy being the center of attention!
“Michael is what i was hoping to find on Rover- friendly, nice, and all around a great sitter. Absolutely will be using him again. 5 ⭐️! Thanks for taking such good care of my fluffy monster Brian ?.”
“Jennifer and my dog Luna got along great! Jennifer was very accomidating to my spoiled dog's needs by letting her on the bed and couch and giving her 1-on-1 attention. Jennifer walked her along with 5 other large dogs, daily and took them all to the dog park regularly. I got pictures of Luna everyday, which made me feel confident in Jennifer and helped my separation anxiety with my fur baby. I would recommend Jennifer for your big dog needs and will definately use her service again! Thank you!”
“Wyne is terrific! Her home set-up is dog-friendly with a great fenced yard. Coordinating with Wyne for drop off and pick up is easy -- she's flexible and highly responsive. She also sends plenty of pictures and updates.”
“We are first time dog parents and our pup has had some recent behavioral issues with other dogs that we were concerned might pop up when we were away. We talked to Alexandra about it and were super confident that if anything should arise she would have it well under control and she assured us that her dog is calm and well trained. Thankfully our dog loved his time and was well behaved, she kept him comfortable and entertained. But it was such a relief to know if worse came to worse, she could handle it. She gave us daily updates and photos and was responsive if we had any questions. We will absolutely book again!”
About: For 8 years I have learned that dogs teach us patience and tolerance. And it's nice for me to walk with them. All my life I have had dogs in my home. I have the availability, to take care of full time, part time or only special days, even available when the owners go on a trip This varies depending on the service. But free to do it from my house or the owner's house. I am an accessible dog caretaker for the service that is required.
“Chauncey had a great stay with Demetra. She has a yard that Chauncey and her dog played in nearly all day Sunday, and when I picked him up he was exhausted. Demetra is really responsive and communicative, and after meeting her I knew Chauncey was going to have a great time there. Would definitely rebook!”
