“May took excellent care of our dog for the 5 days we were out of town. The communication was great and we enjoyed the daily photo/video updates. Will definitely book again.”
“Churro had a great time at Kimberly’s🐶💚 It was our first time leaving Churro with someone outside of family and we were extremely nervous, but Kimberly’s warm, friendly and sweet personality won us (esp Churro!) over and her daily pictures and check-ins gave us such a relief and peace of mind while we were away. Churro even made new friends and I think he was genuinely happy to be a part of Kimberly’s pack. She is a genuine dog lover and I’m so grateful I found such a gem of a person/family on Rover to take such amazing care of my baby 🩷 Thank you so much for all your love and awesomeness!!! 🩵💙💜🤍”
“Michael did an AMAZING job taking care of our dog. Very conscientious and careful, he took her on lots of walks and went above and beyond to ensure she was comfortable at his home. This was our first pet sitting experience and he really put us at ease. He also sent photos everyday and we felt our dog was watched after as one of his own. Great job!”
“My dog came back super happy and clearly loved his stay! I received pictures of him playing and having a great time, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and reliable pet sitter.”
“Yating took good care of my cat Sofi for the second time! It’s always reassuring to leave Sofi with someone she already knows and trusts, and Yating provided such thoughtful and attentive care again.”
“Danielle & her family were amazing!!!! Extremely communicative, flexible, and kind when watching my 5-year-old (often anxious) foxhound. She had no issue when my pickup and drop off times kept changing, and even fed her some of their dog’s food (after getting our permission) when she ran out during Clementine’s stay (our fault - we miscounted). Clementine seemed super at ease staying there and we will definitely be using Danielle again in the future :)”
“Zil took such great care of my cat! It was our first boarding experience but she immediately put me at ease. Like another reviewer said, her home is a cat’s dream with lots of toys and cat towers. She sent me daily picture updates which I was so happy to see! Will def reach out to Zil again!”
“Takako and her husband were amazing! This was my first time leaving Gracie and they made me feel so comfortable about everything. I received daily updates and photos from Takako and they took such good care of Gracie. It was so easy to coordinate with them. I will definitely have them watch Gracie again in the future. I highly recommend!!”
“My dog had a great experience with Alix and her family! She was so happy. Alix sent pictures and gave me updates through out my dogs stay. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that Honey was happy and safe. I would recommend her to anyone wanting a safe, comfortable place for their dogs.”
“Gina was great, communicated what was going on with my dog and made sure I was always informed. My dog seamed happy to be in her care. I’d trust her with my dog any day.”
“Ruda is professional, and provides a truly safe and trusting environment for pets . We felt completely comfortable leaving Joy in their care. Both Nicole and Ruda are game with pet care instructions to a T and they kept us updated with walks, meals, and photos, so we always knew how Joy was doing. You can tell they genuinely care about the pets they board. We had a wonderful experience boarding Joy with them . We felt completely comfortable leaving Joy in their care.”
“Robin was great! She was very communicative and kept us updated throughout our trip, including sending us pictures of our pup. We really appreciated the updates and felt comfortable knowing he was in good hands. We would definitely use her again!”
“Wei is really great! He took care of our dogs very well. Also he successfully manage to feed my dog medication, which is really helpful. Our dogs were having a lot of fun with Wei.”
About: While I have been taking care of animals and dogs just about my whole life, I have been officially doing so as of 6 years ago. I began by meeting people in "the wild" and offering meet and greets free of charge for their pet into my home so they could ensure they felt the most safe and able to actually relax knowing their pet was in a good place while they were gone. From building these connections, I have had the privilege of watching their pets for multiple years and made great connections. I have experience watching puppies, adjusting to schedules, and live a very active life style that makes caring for your dog quite natural for me! I have a larger vehicle for transportation and I am familiar with using the E-Collar if your pet uses that as well. I just graduated with my Master's degree and am currently in a break period before I start my full time job. This means currently that I am very flexible and am able to be home more often with your pet! I have more free time now and would love to return to pet sitting and get some new clients. I have a small yard that is mainly for potty reasons, and no other pets. In others homes, I am adaptable and can adjust to what you need. I also do "meet and greets" for your pet if you are interested, free of charge, for them to sniff around the home and for your to see where they would be staying. I also have portable AC units in our home to keep the rooms cool for your dog, especially with this heat.
“Alina was an amazing sitter for our 80 lb lab! She was so professional, providing daily updates with photos and videos. Alina’s positive energy was genuine and it was clear our dog was very comfortable with her and her family. I highly recommend Alina!!”
“Brooke is our go-to puppy sitter. I always look forward to her photos/videos. It’s like a professional photographer is capturing my pup’s best moments! And my puppy always comes back to us super happy - like she’s stayed with a family member who loves her. You can really tell Brooke loves animals, I fully trust her with my dog!”
“Nicole and her family were absolutely amazing, I highly recommend her! Nicole is incredibly kind and is clearly really good with dogs. She took care of our Australian Shepherd Obi-wan over the Christmas holidays and really went above and beyond caring for him and keeping us updated the entire time. Our dog is very high energy and her dog Teddy was a perfect playmate, they have a wonderful backyard and doggie door for them to run around in. Nicole sent us several pictures and videos every day, and gave us detailed information about how he was settling in. It was so comforting to know that he was well taken care of while we were away! In addition to playtime with Teddy they also took Obi on a hike and were very attentive to all of his needs. We feel so lucky to have found such a great place for our dog and will definitely board with her again!”

“Karen is caring, reliable, and a great communicator. She has taken wonderful care of my cat Romeow when I am out of town. I really appreciate her flexibility and her detailed updates! It is great to know he is in good hands when I travel, and I would definitely recommend her for all your cat sitting needs.”
“Devon is the best! She always takes such amazing care of our cats while we’re away, and she’s always really reliable and is generally awesome. I highly recommend working with her :)”
“Paz was amazing! She took care of everything, that I asked her to do. Sent pictures during the visits. And my cat wasn’t meowing much after leaving him for 4 days, which is a huge win. Very happy with the results.”
“Audrey was so great with our sweet cat, Milo. She is exceptionally timely, provides great updates and photos, and super resourceful - helping us troubleshoot an issue with our autofeeder. We are super appreciative. This was our second time working with Audrey, and we will again!”
“Marisa was so kind and patient with my dogs! She was quick to handle a difficult situation with my sick puppy. She was so kind and I was so appreciative of how she handled everything!”
“Daisy is hands down the best pet sitter I’ve ever had! My senior dog is pretty high maintenance, she takes medications, has a complicated feeding routine, and has separation anxiety/hard time opening up to strangers but she immediately warmed up to Daisy. I appreciated all the pictures and prompt updates she sent me while I was away, I can’t recommend her enough.”
“Drea did a wonderful job! She came to my house before my trip to meet me and my kitties, Gus and Boo. She was really good with G and B, and she consistently sent me photos and updates. From her photos and updates, it appears that she took good care of my babies, and they were happy with her. And she left my house neat and the linens in the laundry, as I requested. It's a big deal to trust one's home and beloved kitties with someone new, and I can say that I'd absolutely ask Drea back the next time I travel! Drea--thanks so very much!!!!”
“What a great person with intelligence, wit and so dependable. I can’t brag on Gina enough! She’s definitely going to be my go to favorite! Very attentive to my fat cat and actually got close! My cat just doesn’t do that but I think they became friends.”
“When my husband and I brought home our puppy, Bridget, our biggest concern was how she would be cared for while we’re at work. Alice and Trey alleviated any worries and then some! They are communicative, attentive, and treat Bridget like one of their own. I can go to work with total confidence and peace of mind that she is well cared for and enjoying fresh air, exercise, and socialization. They have been nothing short of a blessing for us as our pup grows!”
“People say cats need less attention than dogs - NOT TRUE for our Juno! He loved playing with Dominique, and all the attention she gave him - which made me happy my baby was being loved! Thank you, Dominique!”
About: I'm very comfortable around cats and understand that they have different needs than dogs, especially around routine and low-stress handling. I'm attentive to litter box maintenance, feeding schedules, and fresh water, and I know cats often prefer a calm, unhurried visit rather than a lot of noise or disruption. I pay close attention to each cat's comfort level and won't force interaction if a cat prefers space. I follow your instructions closely for feeding, medication, or specific care needs, and I always make sure doors and windows are secure before I leave. I'll send photo updates each visit so you know your cat is safe and well cared for.
“Zil has looked after our cat twice now. She sends lots of updates and takes care of our cat as one of her own. Our cat loves staying at Zil’s place while we’re away. Highly recommend! :)”
About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family and friends. I am pretty open nowadays. Ready to take care of your furry babies as much as needed! Also, have my helpers ( my kids off school, are ready to help)! Right now I am open to come and take care of your pets! Always willing to come first to get to know your pets, and introduce myself. Folowing the rules and instructions- that’s number one priority. Safety, Trust, Care and Love only!
About: I’ve always loved animals and have hands-on experience caring for cats with lots of patience, attention, and affection. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to make them feel safe and cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I treat every pet like family and make sure they receive plenty of love and attention. I work three days a week from the office and two days from home, and I have flexible working hours even on my office days. This allows me to plan my schedule around the needs of the pets in my care and provide consistent attention, feeding, playtime, and companionship. On my work-from-home days, I’m able to spend even more time with them throughout the day. I’m happy to follow each pet’s usual routine and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while they’re with me. I do not accept pet kn my home right now since I hace cats myself, I know how stressful it can be for cats to be around stranger cats
“Brooke was excellent! She took great care of our cats including giving insulin injections to our stubborn diabetic one! We look forward to having her care for our cats again!”
About: Hi! I’m quite the cat lady who understands how important routine, patience, and gentle care are for cats of all personalities. Whether your cat is playful, shy, cuddly, senior, or full of kitten energy, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. From playtime and brushing to enrichment, treats, and detailed updates, I care for every cat like they’re my own. 🐾 I adopted two kittens in January 2026 and later foster-failed with two more, so my home is very much cat-run these days. I’ve also fostered 31 kittens and cats through a SoCal rescue (Feline Lifeline) over the last year, caring for everyone from 5-week-old kittens to 3-year-old adults. Some of my foster litters have included up to five kittens at once, which means I’m experienced with frequent feeding schedules, weigh-ins, medication routines, monitoring behavior changes, and giving extra attention to kittens needing special care. Fostering has taught me how to stay calm, attentive, and adaptable while making sure every cat gets individualized care and attention. I also have experience caring for shy cats and cats with medical needs. If your cat prefers hiding under the couch at first, I completely understand — I’m happy to sit nearby, move at their pace, and earn their trust with patience (and maybe a few treats and chin scratches). You can expect reliable communication, thoughtful care, adorable photo updates, and someone who truly loves cats as much as you do. 💜
“Shaneli was AMAZING! We reached out with a last minute request due to our other sitter cancelling, and she was super responsive. Our Bunny is a little nervous, but she immediately took to Shaneli. I couldn’t believe it!! Highly recommend, can’t wait to have her again.”

Thank you again Lena; we’d love to use you again in the future!”

“I am thrilled to have found Deborah on Rover. My little newly adopted rescue dog has separation anxiety and I’ve needed to have her in daycare several times a week. Deborah and her family and dog, Teddy, have provided a second home for my pup. She has thrived in the safe, caring, loving environment of their home. Deborah is reliable and responsive, and has been very accommodating to my needs. She is cheerful, friendly and kind, always giving me peace of mind while I’m away.”

About: I grew up around dogs and caring for them comes naturally to me. My partner and I share a comfortable home with a fenced backyard and our own friendly, dog-social husky, who makes a wonderful companion for visiting dogs. Having a husky, I’m especially comfortable with high-energy breeds and know how to keep active dogs exercised, engaged, and happy. Because there are two of is and we’re flexible during the day, your down is rarely left alone. There’s almost always someone home for feeding, play, and cuddles. I come from a hospitality and food-service background, so attentive care, cleanliness, and clear communication are things I take seriously. I’ll send plenty of photo updates so you can relax knowing your dog is safe and having fun. I treat every dog like a member of the family, and I’d love to do the same for yours! My partner and I both have flexible daytime schedules, so there’s almost always someone to feed, walk, and play with your dog. We can accommodate your dog’s normal routine, whether that means early morning walks, midday play, or evening cuddles. We plan our own schedules around our boarding guests, so your dog gets consistent attention and is rarely left alone during their stay. Our home has a securely fenced backyard where dogs can play and burn energy safely, and our friendly husky makes a great companion for social guests. We keep the space clean and dog-proofed, with fresh water always available and secure fencing so no one slips out. We’re comfortable crating if that’s part of your dog’s routine, and we’re happy to follow your feeding, medication, and exercise instructions closely. Dogs are never left unattended in the yard, and we send regular photo updates so you always know your pup is safe and content.
“I am very grateful to find Shuo to take care of my dog. From the moment my dog met her, it was clear they hit it off — she’s a natural with dogs! She’s experienced, pays attention to detail, and truly cares about dogs. I’ll definitely be booking again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, reliable sitter!"”
“Great sitter! Suki took to her immediately at our meet and greet and got along with Shaneli’s dog Chai super well too. No problems with pick up or drop off and shaneli was very communicative with pictures and tests through the day. She even gave suki a rain coat for her walk”
“Brooke was amazing! I felt very comfortable leaving my sweet girl with her. I appreciated all the prompt communication & photo updates. Can confidently say we will be booking again!”
About: I’ve loved animals since I was a kid! I have volunteered for my local animal shelter and have experience fostering puppies and animals recovering from surgeries! My house is filled with love by my two cats and dog, all rescued! <3 I work from home full time, with a dedicated office space with plenty of dog beds, and a fenced in bark yard. I go on about a 2-mile walk a day with my pupper, Irwin, and am usually home the rest of the day! On the weekends we might be gone from 3-4 hours at times! I have a fenced yard and a very friendly Catahoula Leopard Dog who absolutely lovesssss friends. I am very flexible and can make whatever schedule you need work.
“I needed a place for my fur baby to stay while my housekeepers were cleaning and I contacted Ruda. He responded right away and was able to provide daycare for my dog with 24 hour notice. You can tell Ruda is a "dog person" and he took very good care of my boy and took him on walks even though he didn't have a very long stay at his home. Drop off and pick up was super easy too. Thanks Ruda! We will be coming back again.”
“Caity was super responsive when it came to trying to book daycare for my dog! Her dog got along with mine super well, and they loved to play. She gave me updates while he was there, and for the meet and greet she hung out with my dog for an hour so we could make sure he would do okay, and I could run some errands!”

“Brittany walks my golden weekly and always does a great job! She is punctual, attentive, and a good communicator. I recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy person to take care of their fur child.”
About: I can understand the sometimes uneasy feeling of leaving your four legged family member with someone else. That’s where I come in! I will be your pet’s new best friend and take care of them with the love and care that I would for my own - making sure runners don’t escape, that your daschund is picked up mindfully of their back, your maltipoo’s coat is maintained, your anxious dog is approached with gentleness and patience. No pet care is one-size-fits all and I will customize your pet’s experience to their individualized needs and desires. I have over 10 years of experience with dog sitting both large and small dogs. Behavioral correction is the priority and I may be a small person, but if your dog pulls, I can lift 145+ lbs. I have experience from training puppies all the way up to senior dog care. I can care for senior dogs and accommodate to any mobility issues as well! I care for the safety and emotional wellbeing of all animals and provide compassionate care. I’m excited to meet my new friend! Let me know if there any questions or concerns I can address and we can work on a game plan for your little one. Depending on the day I may be available throughout the morning/afternoon/evening. Generally house sitting is available every day. Weekend availability varies but I can be accommodating based on scheduling requirements. I offer care in the client’s home only as of right now, and can provide excursions for extra enrichment as needed. I can help with exercising active dogs in an effective manner this way.
“The absolute best dog walker on the planet! Mind, caring and conscientious. Really wants the animals to have a good time. Took excellent care of my pup, amazing communication. Got back to me right away! I’m absolutely so happy to have made a great connection.”
“Halle was great! Willing to help us out when we realized last minute that we would need a daily dog walker during our trip. She was prompt, reliable, and trustworthy. Would highly recommend.”
About: I am an animal lover that is passionate about caring for all animals, specifically rescue animals and animals that may require unique behavioral support or have special needs. My own dog is highly reactive, so I have a lot of experience with handling and caring for reactive dogs. I treat and love every animal as my own and am a very responsible and reliable caregiver. I work as a school psychologist, so I typically care for animals more over the summer! Over the summer, I am available throughout the day for walks or drop in services. I am very flexible both week days and weekends, check my calendar to see if I’m available! I do not offer in-home pet care due to the needs of my own pets. However, I am a very responsible and respectful caregiver when entering client homes.
“This is our first time using Natalyia. We are so happy with her service. She walked our golden retriever, I was so surprised our golden really enjoyed his walks with her. He is a very anxious dog and it takes a lot to calm him . However we were surprised how quickly he got adjusted with her and was looking forward to his walks each and every time. Natalyia is very calm, patient and completely remove all his anxiety and fears.”
About: Hello! My name is Cecelia and I am so excited to get to know you and your pet! Growing up, I have always had a dog in my house and all of my extended family members have pets as well. I love going to parks and finding exciting and fun places. I love taking walks and am able to handle any sized pet. I have my own transportation so errands are not a problem. When not at work, my schedule is very flexible and I am a very easy going person. I work in biotech M-F and have weekends off. I will always send pics of your fur baby and as many updates as you’d like! I have a mini goldendoodle (30lbs) named Ollie who is such a love bug and gets along with any sized dog. Cant wait to meet your fur baby :) M-F I work in office for about 9 hours a day and am home no later than 4pm most days. When home, I love to take my dog on walks around the neighborhood or take him to a park. On the weekends, I bring my dog to get coffee with me and we take a walk on the beach. I love being as active as I can with my dog and would love for your pet to join us! I provide a safe, calm, and enriching environment with plenty of exercise, attention, and supervision. I live in a dog-friendly condo community directly across from a park, so dogs enjoy regular walks, potty breaks, and outdoor time throughout the day. We also take neighborhood walks on the many nearby sidewalks, and sometimes stroll through One Paseo for new sights and smells (with owner approval). On weekends, I’m typically home, so pets receive lots of companionship and aren’t left alone for long periods. When I do run errands, I often bring dogs along if we’re visiting pet-friendly places. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while keeping their routine as close to home as possible.
About: Cats have been part of my life for as long as I can remember — I grew up with a family cat and now have two of my own. I've cared for all ages, kittens to seniors, and breeds including Persians, Maine Coons, and Sphynx. Beyond feeding, litter, and plenty of play and lap time, I handle the parts of cat care a lot of sitters don't: bathing, brushing, working through mats, and shaving when a coat is past the point of brushing. If your cat is shy or slow to warm up to new people, I'll go at their pace. I work from home and I am able to take care of cats any time is necessary. I constantly take breaks to make sure I play and pet cats I have an entire extra room that will be for your cats and I will use slow introduction to get our pets to get along as well as feliway.

About: I’ve had and taken care of a dog all my life and trained my current dog from 3 months old. I genuinely try to connect with any dog I meet and love them as my own. Most importantly, I teach/train/direct dogs by validating them with praise and love I’m currently at home most of the day and can have variable and spontaneous availability. With that, I can be available quickly and at short notice I am interactive and attentive - I try to figure out their needs and then meet them. I pet them, play with them, and show them attention. I train or teach them by validating them with goodness and love
About: I have taken care of friends and neighbors pups for many years, and the only reason I don't have dogs of my own... is because of my two cats I am between jobs at this time, therefore I am very flexible with my time. In the long run will continue to work around it to make sure your pets are taken care of. I will not be able (at this time) to take care of pets overnight in my own home. Will work in / around your home.

“Mayank is incredible with my sweet Daisy girl. I have boarded with them more than once, and I always receive regular updates & pictures. Daisy has the time of her life.”
“Michael did an AMAZING job taking care of our dog. Very conscientious and careful, he took her on lots of walks and went above and beyond to ensure she was comfortable at his home. This was our first pet sitting experience and he really put us at ease. He also sent photos everyday and we felt our dog was watched after as one of his own. Great job!”
“My dog came back super happy and clearly loved his stay! I received pictures of him playing and having a great time, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and reliable pet sitter.”
“Very happy with our experience. Our dog had a great time with Ryan's family. Ryan was easy to communicate with and he was very accommodating when our travel plans changed unexpectedly at the last minute and we had to extend the boarding for a few days.”
“Yongzi took such incredible care of our dogs! She has watched them twice now and both times we got lots of updates and knew they were well taken care of. Our pups loved getting to run around in the backyard!”
“Ehda and her mother took great care of our dog. He is a nervous around new people. They were very gentle and patient with him. We will definately use her again.”
“I immediately knew my pup was in good hands when I met Keely - he was immediately comfortable with her. She took him on plenty of walks and gave him all the puppy love! Highly recommend Keely , 5/5 experience - will definitely be using again!”
“My dog had a great experience with Alix and her family! She was so happy. Alix sent pictures and gave me updates through out my dogs stay. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that Honey was happy and safe. I would recommend her to anyone wanting a safe, comfortable place for their dogs.”
“Gina was great, communicated what was going on with my dog and made sure I was always informed. My dog seamed happy to be in her care. I’d trust her with my dog any day.”
“Linda and Zach were great to Noodle!! They sent me photos, were extremely responsive and my pup was nice and tired from his stay. Would have them watch Noodle again! 😌”
“Another great experience with Eliza! She helped me out with a last minute booking and was flexible and communicative. Hamachi loves hanging out and snuggling up to her on the sofa ☺️”
“Jaxson loved staying with Lauren! She sent plenty of photos and in each one he looked so happy. Will definitely love to have Lauren doggy sit Jaxson in the future!”
“Our dog was in great hands while we were on vacation! Our dog had a separation anxiety and did not want to eat, but Pat fed him to make sure he is still eating. She and her husband took my dog on a number of walks everyday. Definitely would book with her again! Highly recommended. Thank you!”
About: While I have been taking care of animals and dogs just about my whole life, I have been officially doing so as of 6 years ago. I began by meeting people in "the wild" and offering meet and greets free of charge for their pet into my home so they could ensure they felt the most safe and able to actually relax knowing their pet was in a good place while they were gone. From building these connections, I have had the privilege of watching their pets for multiple years and made great connections. I have experience watching puppies, adjusting to schedules, and live a very active life style that makes caring for your dog quite natural for me! I have a larger vehicle for transportation and I am familiar with using the E-Collar if your pet uses that as well. I just graduated with my Master's degree and am currently in a break period before I start my full time job. This means currently that I am very flexible and am able to be home more often with your pet! I have more free time now and would love to return to pet sitting and get some new clients. I have a small yard that is mainly for potty reasons, and no other pets. In others homes, I am adaptable and can adjust to what you need. I also do "meet and greets" for your pet if you are interested, free of charge, for them to sniff around the home and for your to see where they would be staying. I also have portable AC units in our home to keep the rooms cool for your dog, especially with this heat.
“thank you, Anna for your care of Sadie! We got great uodates with photos, all instructions were followed, and everything went very smooth! Sadie seems excited to go back and enjoy the big yard again :)”
“Alina was an amazing sitter for our 80 lb lab! She was so professional, providing daily updates with photos and videos. Alina’s positive energy was genuine and it was clear our dog was very comfortable with her and her family. I highly recommend Alina!!”
“Brooke is our go-to puppy sitter. I always look forward to her photos/videos. It’s like a professional photographer is capturing my pup’s best moments! And my puppy always comes back to us super happy - like she’s stayed with a family member who loves her. You can really tell Brooke loves animals, I fully trust her with my dog!”
About: I’ve loved animals since I was a kid! I have volunteered for my local animal shelter and have experience fostering puppies and animals recovering from surgeries! My house is filled with love by my two cats and dog, all rescued! <3 I work from home full time, with a dedicated office space with plenty of dog beds, and a fenced in bark yard. I go on about a 2-mile walk a day with my pupper, Irwin, and am usually home the rest of the day! On the weekends we might be gone from 3-4 hours at times! I have a fenced yard and a very friendly Catahoula Leopard Dog who absolutely lovesssss friends. I am very flexible and can make whatever schedule you need work.
