“Mihaela is our favorite sitter we have found on rover. She is so sweet and takes such good care of our Ollie. She also sends the best updates. Thank you for all that you do Mihaela!”
“Araceli is fantastic. My dogs love being with her. She is always so responsive and she let me drop off the dogs two hours earlier than I initially asked for which was really helpful due to travel plans changing.”
“Whitney was very communicative from the start all way through to picking up our dog Pony. We got plenty of photos throughout the day and night she was watching him which we were grateful for :) Pony loves other dogs so it was great that Whitney owns one and was watching another during his stay. She even bought Pony some treats! We would definitely book with Whitney again!”
“20/10!! Savannah took amazing care of our pups!! Especially when it came to giving my one pup her eyedrops daily. She took the best photos and I could tell the pups had a great time! 100% recommend and would have our pups stay with her again!”
“Melanie is such a kind and loving petsitter--and her longtime experience caring for senior dogs is such a huge benefit, too--she's given me great tips on things like how to get my dog to take his medicine and suggestions about how to help his mobility.”
“The best dog sitter! Nala is always so comfortable with her, and that gives me so much peace of mind. She is very communicative and keeps me updated, which I really appreciate. She genuinely cares about Nala’s well-being, including her nutrition, and treats her like she’s her second mom. I trust her completely, and whenever she’s available, she’ll definitely be watching Nala again. This will already be our fourth time booking with her, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and loving pet sitter!”
“Our Clover always gets the best care with Anar. It’s obvious that she enjoys being there when we’re away. She was wiped out after her last stay and passed out snoring when we got her home. Happy dog!”
“Jason is fantastic! I can’t recommend him enough! Our cattle dog Ruby stayed with Jason for three weeks while we were abroad and she was so happy and well cared for. Jason and his family showered her with love, daily walks, and top-notch care. Ruby can be shy and nervous, but she took to Jason right away, he is a true dog whisperer. Jason is fantastic with communication and really easy to work with. He was able to accommodate an oversight on my part and adjust our dates last minute, we greatly appreciated the flexibility! We are so thankful to have found Jason and will certainly use him again as our favorite pet sitter!”
“Kaitlin and Verle took such great care of our dog! He was calm and happy when we picked him up, and I would definitely feel comfortable booking again!”
“Cerita and her family were great with Bam Bam! She obviously enjoyed her stay, photos proving she was having a blast! We appreciate the attention and care they gave her!”
“Liza was amazing she took great care of our boys while we were away on vacation. She made us feel comfortable right away and did a good job communicating we would definitely book her again in the future.”
“Dave was fantastic with my dog! He provided me with regular updates and photos. Louie loved being able to play with his dog, Astro. Thank you Dave for accommodating Louie’s needs. I would definitely recommend Dave to anyone needing a loving sitter for their pup, and we would love to use him again in the future!”
“I highly recommend Layla. She sent a lot of updates and pictures which was helpful keeping me comfortable about leaving my dogs behind during my trip. She offered to help out when my flight got canceled. I definitely will use her again!”
“This is the second time we’ve used Ami for our dog sitting needs. She is reliable, quick to respond and has always been able to help us with such short notice. We appreciate that she sends us daily updates. We know Darwin is in a good place when he zooms up the stairs at drop-off!”
“I was extremely anxious about having to leave my cat for the first time, but Marwa was truly amazing! My cat is usually very shy and doesn’t warm up to people easily, but with Marwa, he was so comfortable and relaxed. She kept me updated with daily pictures and videos, which really gave me peace of mind. You can tell she genuinely loves and cares for the animals she watches. I will 100% be booking with her again anytime I need someone to take care of my baby. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter!”
“Anna was amazing watching my dog Willow for the first time. I had a lot of anxiety leaving her after just moving to San Diego, but Anna immediately put me at ease. She was so kind and treated Willow like her own, letting her relax and feel comfortable in her home. She kept me updated and sent great pictures that made me really happy. I truly appreciated her communication and care—would absolutely recommend her! She’s wonderful and you can see how much she loves and cares about dogs! Willow had a great time!”
“Alex was great with Amory! This was his second time with my cat and he did amazing. I had a business trip and travel delays and Alex was very flexible and communicative.”

“I was away from home, and our previous cat sitter failed to show up for one of the scheduled drop-in visits. I couldn’t reach them. In a pinch, I was looking for a pet sitter, and Jade was more than happy to help. She was fantastic in getting all the details over the phone and was very communicative both before and during the visit. She even sent me adorable pictures of cats.”
About: I've had cats in my family since I was born! We always had two Siamese cats in the house growing up, and my first pet I adopted out of college was my very own cat. I've cat sit for friends over the years as well and always hang out for several hours, not just do a drive by of food and water refill. Even though we all know how much they love to do their own thing, it's important for them too to get some scritches, pets, and zooming around done while you're away.
“Caity is awesome! She was able to accommodate her schedule even though I needed to book on a very short notice and she did amazingly. She’s really mindful, dedicated and detail oriented. She made sure my cats had all their needs met and that they were safe and sound! She also took great pics of them. Totally recommend her!”
“Jazmin continues to be the best with my cat, Timo! She’s very communicative and gives all the pertinent information in her report card :) Thank you, Jazmin!”
About: Have had family dogs all my life and my little guy for almost 5 years. I know the amount of work and dedication it takes to give them a happy and full life. I have also pet sit for friends both dogs and cats over the years. My friends know I’m someone they can depend on. I work from home primarily east coast hours so can be flexible in the afternoons/evenings. If your home is close can also work around meetings earlier in the day! I want to make sure your pet has a relaxed and comfortable time with me. I personally get pretty anxious when someone is checking in or taking care of my pet so I will do my best to ease that feeling for others.
“Savannah took amazing care of our two cats while we were away and we couldn’t be happier! She went above and beyond with thoughtful attention to their comfort and needs, and we came home to happy and relaxed cats. She sent nice updates and you could see she really engaged with and took great care of them. I would definitely be happy to count on Savannah again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive and caring cat sitter!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and grew up in a home where they were truly part of the family. Over the years, friends and family have trusted me to care for their furry loved ones while they’re away, and I take that responsibility seriously. I also have a dog of my own, Lev, a 6-year-old male who has taught me a lot about patience, communication, and positive reinforcement training. Because Lev can be leash reactive, I’m very comfortable reading dog body language and handling walks calmly and safely. Through consistent positive reinforcement, we’ve built successful and enjoyable walks together. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I always aim to create a safe, positive, and fun experience for every pup in my care. I currently WFH full-time! Afternoon/evenings between 3-7pm on weekdays are ideal times for walks and visits. Weekends would vary, but I have pretty open availability in general! My own pup gets at least three walks a day—a long walk first thing in the morning and another before bed, plus a midday walk for some relief and fresh air. We often go on other adventures, including the beach and the dog park, but this our typical schedule. Because of this routine, I’m very accustomed to walking during high dog-traffic times and always prioritize safe, attentive handling. I stay aware of our surroundings, read dog body language, and use positive reinforcement to keep walks calm, structured, and enjoyable for every pup.
About: Hello! I’ve had my husky for about 7 years, and have been walking him 2x a day since I’ve had him. I understand pets need regular walks that include effort and care. I’m a great candidate to help with your pet’s needs. I’m currently a full time student and husky owner. I have time available in the mornings-noonish, and at night. I can dedicate time to support your pets needs. I am very respectful and intentional when it comes from taking care of my home. I can promise to be the same with your home/space. I respect boundaries and follow rules very well.
“Leilani was very professional and respectful of my cat and space! She did a great job and made sure to follow the daily instructions i left for her. I would reccomend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter!”
About: I had my 16 year old dog Dakota since she was a puppy until she passed away earlier this year and I've fostered multiple senior dogs over the last couple of years for Frosted Faces. I only accept small dogs (under 16lbs) for daycare and boarding with a max of 3 dogs at any given time so you can be sure your dog will get dedicated attention and not be overwhelmed. If you need your dog(s) to be the only one in the home please let me know if the request message. If this is your first time using rover you can sign up via https://www.rover.com/sit/melant42759 or use promo code MELANT42759 for $20 off your first booking. I work full time from home and my schedule is pretty flexible - I can take breaks as needed to take care of the dogs. I live in a one bedroom apartment, there is no fenced in yard but the door always remains closed. I wouldn't take any dogs out without their collar and leash on. There is a set of stairs to get up to my apartment (~12 steps), I can carry dogs up and down if needed. The apartment itself is one level and I have doggy stairs to get on the couch as well as a gate to keep them in a carpeted area if they need that for balance or anything.
“Spencer was great with our two cats while we were away on a long trip. He was punctual and communicative throughout the booking. We received great pictures of our cats every day and it was clear they were very happy and comfortable with him.”
“Sarah is incredible with our shy tortie girl and we couldn't be happier that we found her and that our kitty is so comfortable with her. Thank you for everything Sarah!”
“Brenda did an awesome job looking after my two cats, notoriously shy, she got them to hang out and play! I already asked her to do another drop-in, she’s super reliable and the cats seemed very happy with how much time she spent with them!”
“Callahan was wonderful as a cat sitter in every way! She responded right away and booked at very short notice. Our cat warmed up to her right away. Callahan sent great photos and communicated very thoughtfully and enthusiastically. We are really grateful and look forward to booking again with her!”
About: Hi! I’m Eden, a dog mom of two working breed shelter dogs, so safe to say I am very active and have worked with several trainers over the years to keep these dogs happy and healthy. I have had my own animals since I was a wee girl, been a dog walker/sitter through Wag, and learned a ton through my own trials and tribulations with my own reactive dog. Since getting my first dog 4 years ago I’ve mostly taken a hiatus from helping others, but now that I’m confident with my dogs, I’m keen to learn more. I am not a trainer but am experienced in reactivity, separation anxiety, leash pulling and basic puppy training. I’m happy to walk/run your dog or stay home and ease their anxiety. I have a flexible schedule and a partner to help care for my own dogs at home. Let me know what you and your pup need! I currently work part time and have a good chunk of daytime hours available for walks or check ins and can occasionally accommodate a sitting as well. I walk my own dogs 2x per day, spend time doing something fun or enriching daily, and do something extra fun, like the beach or a hike, 2x a week. I’d be happy to do the same with your dog(s). I will do whatever my client requests and is comfortable with. I walk or run my own dogs 2x per day and I try to keep a balance between training and letting them be dogs during these walks. I also play ball, tug, find it, and use enrichment toys with them.

“Had a last minute trip and Melanie was able to accommodate us. She was very informative, sent pictures and let us know how she was doing. I would love to use Melanie again when we are in town.”
About: Hi, I’m Michelle. I’m a longtime dog owner with over 16 years of experience, and I recently returned to Rover after taking a few years’ hiatus to care for our senior pup full-time. We recently said goodbye to our sweet girl, Mika, who was with us for 16.5 wonderful years. Caring for her taught us so much about patience, comfort, and the extra love senior dogs need. While we’re not quite ready to adopt again, we would truly love to share that love with your pup. My husband and I have a calm, dog-free home, which allows us to give your dog our full attention in a peaceful, low-stress environment. We have a special place in our hearts for senior dogs and those who may need gentler care, but we love pups of all ages. Your dog’s days will include two walks (adjusted for age and energy level), playtime or cozy downtime, treats with your approval, and lots of affection and belly rubs. I also provide photo updates and check-ins so you can feel confident your furry family member is happy and well cared for. My goal is simple: to make your dog feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away. A Few Things I’d Love to Know To provide the best care possible, please let me know: • Any special needs or medical considerations • If your dog experiences separation anxiety • Feeding schedule, diet, medications, or allergies • Their daily routine and energy level • Favorite comforts, routines, or quirks Important Note Extended stay: An additional $25 day rate applies if pick-up is over the 24-hour period. Your pup will get plenty of attention. We can go for walks and have some play time. Ofcourse (if your pet is older we will go for shorter walks) They’ll get treats and belly rubs. We have a patio with grass they can go potty anytime :) I have a cozy and fenced patio. They can sit and lay out by the sun. I also have a grassy area for potty breaks anytime the want.
“My dog and I met with Shane and Chris for a meet-and-greet before I booked them for a day. They were so nice and genuine during both the initial visit and the day-of daycare that i was put immediately at ease for leaving them with my senior dog. I got to see their backyard (so spacious!), and I knew that Ghibli would love sunbathing there and be his lazy self. I wouldn't hesitate to use their services again.”
About: Have had family dogs all my life and my little guy for almost 5 years. I know the amount of work and dedication it takes to give them a happy and full life. I have also pet sit for friends both dogs and cats over the years. My friends know I’m someone they can depend on. I work from home primarily east coast hours so can be flexible in the afternoons/evenings. If your home is close can also work around meetings earlier in the day! I want to make sure your pet has a relaxed and comfortable time with me. I personally get pretty anxious when someone is checking in or taking care of my pet so I will do my best to ease that feeling for others.
“William is super awesome. He took great care of our young pup and was a very cool and funny guy to boot. He was definitley flexible and super responsive. He’ll be a great buddy for my buddy going forward.”
“Mihaela is a very nice person and super awesome with Rollie. She provided Rollie with lots of playtime, games, walks, and belly rubs. I got many updates and I could tell Rollie enjoyed her stay with Mihaela and didn’t want to leave! Will definitely be a repeated client.”
About: I grew up on a rescue farm, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me, and I’ve truly never met one I didn’t adore. I’ll treat your dog like one of my own! I have experience fostering and dog-sitting pups of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet seniors. I’m also comfortable working with dogs who have medical needs or unique personalities, whether they’re high-energy, shy, reactive, or a little anxious in new settings. I am a dog person to my core and have loved them all! I work from home Monday - Friday, so my situation is ideal for boarding and daycare as well as shorter overnights. I enjoy being outdoors as much as I enjoy a night in, so I can be flexible depending on each dog's needs. I live in a walkable neighborhood where I only need to be away from home for short periods of time to go grocery shopping or to hit the gym. I have always had a dog (though I am currently dog-free, unfortunately), so I am naturally attuned to their schedules and needs. I live in a very dog-friendly complex in a very residential neighborhood. I have lots of experience with controlled walks, crate training, and general dog safety, including emergency care and safe/proper introductions with other dog-friendly dogs. I live alone in a very calm, peaceful environment, and am conscientious of respecting a dog's space and know the importance of maintaining a semi-normal schedule while they're in a new/unfamiliar environment.
“Andre was great. He was very flexible and happy to work with my schedule and my 2 older dogs and their quirky needs . Penny is blind and he happily made any necessary accommodations for walks and going potty. Bonus lived his best vacation days ever, with multiple walks a day. Thank you”
“Rafael has been such a blessing for my goldendoodle, Lola, and I. We moved cross country to San Diego and, unfortunately, I work long hours— hours which Lola would stay alone. Having found Rafael was the best thing ever! He ensures that my Lola is well taken care of while I’m working: he takes her on long walks, plays ball with her, and sends updates throughout the day. What makes Rafael stand out is that he treats Lola as his own, if there is any concern about her eating habits etc, he immediately lets me know. I would 100% hands down recommend him to anyone looking for a doggy sitter.”
“My dog loved her stay with Anar and was excited to return! Anar was flexible with pick-up and drop-off and sent me updates throughout the day on how Willow was doing!”
“My pup had a great time with Bill & Todd and the other dogs today! I felt like she was well cared for, they were great at sharing pictures, and she came home happy and tired. They also made sure she was comfortable and safe around some bigger dogs. Super pleased with her daycare visit!”
About: Hi, I'm Nic! I've been taking care of dogs ever since we adopted our first family dog Auggie over 20 years ago. He and other dogs I've watched had aggression issues so I know how to stay out of trouble. I'm strong enough to handle multiple medium-to-large dogs at a time and fit enough to take them on long walks or runs. I helped out my mom a lot last year with our second family dog Yogi who struggled with incontinence, mobility, and chronic pain. I still miss him but realized after watching my friend's elderly dogs that I'm ready to connect with some more great animals! I work full-time but I'm remote and not overly busy so I have flexibility in terms of schedule. I'm generally available to do walks/check-ins around noon or in the evening and can also have animals stay with me in my apartment during the day or overnight. I only take pets from one family at a time in order to ensure that I can give each pet as much attention as possible. I have an apartment on the second floor of a small complex and there is no elevator so I likely cannot accommodate larger dogs with mobility issues. My complex and apartment are pretty quiet and there is a park with two dog runs only two blocks away. On weekdays I only leave the apartment for about two hours so I can keep a close eye on any dogs that need extra supervision. I'm very respectful of other people's homes and know that many animals will need time to warm up to me. I try to give animals as much space as they need but also keep an eye out for when they're in need of some stimulation.
“Gladys was a wonderful host for my Layla girl! Gladys' kind spirit and attentiveness to my pup's needs made me feel reassured that she would be well taken care of. Layla came home a happy puppy after her daycare, and I would recommend Gladys for your Pup care needs. Thank you!”
“I had such a great experience leaving my dog, Coyol, with Shakyra for the day! From the start, she was incredibly patient during both drop-off and pick-up, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Throughout the day, she kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me peace of mind knowing Coyol was in good hands. She even took him on a hike, which he absolutely loved! Shakyra was kind, communicative, and clearly cared about Coyol’s well-being. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. Thank you, Shakyra!”
About: I have a sweet 90lb golden retriever, and a rambunctious and playful rescue mutt! I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I have gone through puppy training courses with both of my dogs and am comfortable walking large dogs who pull. I can help with training for pulling and walking manners if needed! Whether you need someone to come over and take your pups for a walk and some play time, or you want them to come over and play with my pups, I am happy to help in anyway I can! I work as a nurse only 2 days a week so I am fully available 5 days a week for anything your pets might need! I have a fenced yard and two very friendly pups who love to play. They love having friends over for play dates! My dogs are both crate trained, and sleep in their crates at night. We go for 2 walks a day and usually go to the park nearby for fetch a few times a week! We love to be active and do training throughout the day!

“Nancy was very communicative and incredibly kind and thoughtful. She took great care of my anxious puppy. I really appreciated the love and attention she gave him. I would highly recommend her and would book her again”
“Melanie walked our 3 dogs and did a great job! She walked the littles and the senior separately and did a great job modifying their walk for variety and to match their energy. She is really friendly, nice, and reliable. Highly recommend!!”
“Nicole was an amazing caretaker for my little dog. He's not generally a very good eater, but under Nicole's care he ate up all his meals… She truly has the magic touch! She has quite a way with animals… He connected with her instantly.”
“Mihaela is awesome! Henry can't wait to see her and barks his head off when she comes to the door. July 3rd will be her last day with us but believe me when I say she will be the first person I pick if I need a dog walker again!!!”
“Due to an injury, living upstairs I’m not supposed to do much of and having to use a cane for awhile, I desperately needed help asap walking my big girl. We are active and usually walk at least two miles twice a day. I came across Daniel’s profile, nervous as I’ve never had anyone but myself walk my sometimes very hard headed strong Cane Corso. I really appreciated that his profile noted that he’s comfortable with bigger breeds and has one of his own. I can’t say enough good things about his work ethic, kindness, gentle demeanor, quick communication, punctuality, professionalism - all of it! Not to mention my dog with some serious separation anxiety by the 3rd morning was up before the alarm in the morning to put on her “necklace” and go walk with her new bestie! She now pouts and looks out the window for an hour after their walks! (ha ha thanks Daniel!) I have booked future walks with full confidence and absolutely no hesitation. I am so very very thankful for his way with my working breed dog and his help!”
“Alyssa was so communicative, and sent lots of updates and photos so I knew my dog Bandit was in terrific hands! Will definitely be using her again for dog walking and house sitting :)”
About: Growing up with cats, my first dog was a Christmas gift when I was 16. Despite being on crutches, I learned a lot about dog training and care. Fast forward to 7 years ago, I rescued my border collie and trained her to become a service dog. We go everywhere and do (almost) everything together - including taking care of other dogs! I also now have a Foster dog, Ashe, who is very docile, gentle, and sweet. She's just happy to be here! I am also happy to watch your pet(s) at your home as my partner can take care of the gang here at home while I'm away. Whatever works best for you! Either way - your pets will be loved for however long you need! I work remote full-time and set my own schedule. Nyla joins me for runs, frisbee sessions at the park, hikes, and fetch 5-6 days a week. After that, it’s all cuddle puddle. We also do some training on our walks for breakfast! We go for a long walk in the morning and evening, with plenty of short breaks throughout the day - or one of the aforementioned activities! Safety is of utmost importance to me. I know many dogs have lots of ways they communicate their boundaries and I keep a close eye for any or all of them your dog may show. We have a fully fenced in front and backyard, a way to divide the two, and live in a residential neighborhood. I work with each pet to learn their comfort level and earn their trust on their terms and timetable. Nyla and our foster are both crate trained so separation is always available if need be!
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and it’s something I truly enjoy. Friends, family, and neighbors regularly trust me to feed, walk, and spend quality time with their pets while they’re away. I worked at the humane society, so I have experience with various breeds and temperaments. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique needs—whether that’s high-energy playtime, gentle care for senior dogs, or helping reinforce basic training. I prioritize safety, routine, and making sure your pet feels comfortable and loved. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in good hands. I’m currently working part-time as a nanny, so I have plenty of time to be with your pet! I’m available on the weekends and Monday-Wednesday I own a home in Talmadge with a fully fenced yard, offering a safe and secure space for pets to play and relax. My quiet, secluded neighborhood is ideal for calm, enjoyable walks. I closely supervise all outdoor time and prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and routine so they feel right at home.
About: I grew up with dogs or cats in my home my entire childhood (0-18). I was born into a home filled with 14 animals. Mostly cats and dogs. For most of my childhood and adolescence I had a Rottweiler and a cat. I would walk/care for them and feed them without a need of a pestering mother. It’s been a few years since then, but my family has always had dogs in their homes, so when I visit I just help wherever appreciated. Often, walks for the three dogs my mom would have, would be the best way to help. That would be 9 walks a day, at minimum, because they would have to be walked separately. Although, I maintain a busy schedule working in luxury hospitality, I am consistently helping coworkers walk their dogs or even dog sit for friends for a day, a weekend, or a week at a time. Here, I am looking to do what I enjoy most, help the community. I look forward to connecting! I work full time in hospitality. I am off in the mornings. Typically, I have off on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. However, those days do change. I have a single bedroom apartment on the second floor of a 2 floor building. I have bowls for food and water. If your dog is allowed treats, I usually like to give them liver treats. If the dog stays with me, I’ll walk the dog at least 3 times a day, but because I like to walk so much, it’s often the dog will get walked 5-6 times a day for roughly 20-30+ minutes each.
About: I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and getting to know their personalities!Doing this for the past 5 years has given me a range of experiences and deepened my affection for pet care. I’ve worked with dogs and cats ranging from young/old/energetic/relaxed/fussy/playful and everything in between! Communication is my #1 as your sitter, not just the fun updates and pictures but also any questions/concerns about your fur baby as they come up in real time! Being able to provide peace of mind for my clients while they’re away from their pets brings me so much joy, as I understand it can be hard to know if they are truly being cared for the way you prefer. My main goal as your sitter is to gain not only your trust, but your pets trust and love as well :) I pride myself in being reliable, caring, and flexible, and I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! I’m currently working on cutting my work hours so that I have a part time schedule and can be more available in the afternoons/evenings, but I’m also available for petsitting/overnights on the weekends (or for longer trips when given notice), as well as drop in visits/walks - just let me know your needs and hopefully we can work something out! At the moment, I don’t have the ability to bring your pets into my own residence for care. However, all of my 5+ years of pet experience has involved care in the clients home, so I am very familiar with what it takes to maintain a pets routine in their home environment. Whether I’m showing up for a quick walk/feed or spending a week with your fur baby, I will ensure your house is left in the condition I find it (if not better!). Safety and respect are top priority to me; if you allow me the opportunity to offer you my services, I hope to earn your trust and show you I can provide the best care for your pet and your home.
“Spencer has been doing daily dog walking for our two dogs for the past couple months and is reliable and responsive. He is great with our pups and would recommend him to anyone!”
“Savannah was excellent! I appreciated how thorough she was and how she put so much care and intention into caring for my dog, Yuki! We scheduled a meet and greet beforehand so that we could go over some details and get acclimated with each other. On the day of the walk, she followed all of the instructions and sent some cute photos from the walk. Will definitely be working with Savannah again soon!”
About: Hi! I’m Jess! I'm a total animal lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with pets of all kinds. I have my own furry crew at home, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pets like they’re family. I’m experienced with dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels, from playful pups to more anxious or shy personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and always tuned into what each pet needs to feel safe and happy. Whether your dog needs a long walk, some playtime, or just a calm, comforting presence, I’m here for it. I’m also a big cat person! I love their personalities and am just as happy stopping by for feedings, play, and cuddles (on their terms, of course 😊). You can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and respectful of your home. I’ll make sure your pet gets lots of love, attention, and care while you’re away, and I’ll keep you updated so you have total peace of mind. Can’t wait to meet you and your pets! I am currently a student 3 days a week so I have a lot of flexibility and availability in between. I love walking daily so this is helping me get my steps in and pay my student bills :) In your home, I follow the rules of your house and will always be respectful of your home while I’m caring for your pet.
About: I have a 6 year old Golden that i raised and trained and have had dogs my whole life. My family dog is turning 20 this year! I love dogs and have always helped my friends dog sit when needed(: I am a current masters student at SDSU. My internship ends in May and so I will have open availability for dog walks and drop ins. At this time I am not able to offer pet sitting in my home or in your home. Should this change, it will be reflected in my availability.
About: I've dog sat for friends and family over the years. Helped dogs while sick during their stay with them. Including taking action with going to the vet. I never allow strangers to pet a dog that is not mine to protect not only the stranger but more importantly the dog. Hi I’m Anna, Margaret is my legal name 😃. I work from home so can take time during lunch to walk your dog and after work. Or if you need me to visit and spend time at your home I can do so with my laptop. As well as helping on the weekend if needed. When having friends pets stay at my home I allow them to feel like it is also theirs. I maintain a clean home where the dog will not stumble upon things they should not eat. I do the same while staying at clients homes. Follow all rules the owner has laid out as well as ask questions for clarification when needed.

“Mihaela is our favorite sitter we have found on rover. She is so sweet and takes such good care of our Ollie. She also sends the best updates. Thank you for all that you do Mihaela!”
“20/10!! Savannah took amazing care of our pups!! Especially when it came to giving my one pup her eyedrops daily. She took the best photos and I could tell the pups had a great time! 100% recommend and would have our pups stay with her again!”
“The best dog sitter! Nala is always so comfortable with her, and that gives me so much peace of mind. She is very communicative and keeps me updated, which I really appreciate. She genuinely cares about Nala’s well-being, including her nutrition, and treats her like she’s her second mom. I trust her completely, and whenever she’s available, she’ll definitely be watching Nala again. This will already be our fourth time booking with her, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and loving pet sitter!”
“Our Clover always gets the best care with Anar. It’s obvious that she enjoys being there when we’re away. She was wiped out after her last stay and passed out snoring when we got her home. Happy dog!”
“Jason is fantastic! I can’t recommend him enough! Our cattle dog Ruby stayed with Jason for three weeks while we were abroad and she was so happy and well cared for. Jason and his family showered her with love, daily walks, and top-notch care. Ruby can be shy and nervous, but she took to Jason right away, he is a true dog whisperer. Jason is fantastic with communication and really easy to work with. He was able to accommodate an oversight on my part and adjust our dates last minute, we greatly appreciated the flexibility! We are so thankful to have found Jason and will certainly use him again as our favorite pet sitter!”
“Kaitlin and Verle took such great care of our dog! He was calm and happy when we picked him up, and I would definitely feel comfortable booking again!”
“Cerita and her family were great with Bam Bam! She obviously enjoyed her stay, photos proving she was having a blast! We appreciate the attention and care they gave her!”
“This is the second time we’ve used Ami for our dog sitting needs. She is reliable, quick to respond and has always been able to help us with such short notice. We appreciate that she sends us daily updates. We know Darwin is in a good place when he zooms up the stairs at drop-off!”
“Shakyra did a fantastic job, she took great care of our family member, our dog Riley. It was her first time away from home over night. We got a good update and when I went to pick her up the next morning she was calm and relaxed. Shakyra is very pleasant and communicative that alone put us at ease. She get 5 stars from us. Definitely use her again.”
“Hana is a friendly, very experienced dog-lover. She took care of my high-energy puppy for 5 days without any problem, and she also tried to reinforce what we have been doing such as crate training. She is great at regularly sending photos and videos on daily basis.”
“It was our first time booking with Monique and I would 100% book again! We left our dog with her for five nights, and he was well taken care of. We got daily updates and pictures, and we love that she has a work-from-home and fenced yard set-up so that he was with people most of the time. Thank you Monique! Sheep seems like he had a great time with you!”
“Susan and her family are very experienced with dogs. My GSD stayed with them for a few days and I can tell she had a great time walking and playing with them and other dog and had peaceful time with cats. Susan sent me frequent updates with pictures which made me feel so much ease. I appreciate all her efforts caring my dog. I would definitely go to her next time without any hesitation. Thanks Susan!”
About: I grew up with dogs or cats in my home my entire childhood (0-18). I was born into a home filled with 14 animals. Mostly cats and dogs. For most of my childhood and adolescence I had a Rottweiler and a cat. I would walk/care for them and feed them without a need of a pestering mother. It’s been a few years since then, but my family has always had dogs in their homes, so when I visit I just help wherever appreciated. Often, walks for the three dogs my mom would have, would be the best way to help. That would be 9 walks a day, at minimum, because they would have to be walked separately. Although, I maintain a busy schedule working in luxury hospitality, I am consistently helping coworkers walk their dogs or even dog sit for friends for a day, a weekend, or a week at a time. Here, I am looking to do what I enjoy most, help the community. I look forward to connecting! I work full time in hospitality. I am off in the mornings. Typically, I have off on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. However, those days do change. I have a single bedroom apartment on the second floor of a 2 floor building. I have bowls for food and water. If your dog is allowed treats, I usually like to give them liver treats. If the dog stays with me, I’ll walk the dog at least 3 times a day, but because I like to walk so much, it’s often the dog will get walked 5-6 times a day for roughly 20-30+ minutes each.
“Pam was great with our dog Bentley! She was easy to communicate with from day one, clearly a dog lover, and kept us updated on how he was doing. It was a bonus for me that Bentley got to spend time with her dog Xotchil and they went to a dog park daily. I would highly recommend Pam to others and I’m sure we’ll use her in the future again.”
“We felt completely at ease leaving our dog with Mark over the holidays. He made sure Apollo was comfortable in his home and was super accommodating to all his little quirks. Mark's communication was excellent, always quick and responsive, which we appreciated. We'd definitely book with him again and recommend him to other dog owners :)”
“Michelle is amazing! She cared for our Blue as if he were her own. She took him on regular walks and always kept me updated with sweet messages and pictures. Her dogs were wonderful hosts too—they all welcomed Blue into their home with open paws! I highly recommend booking Michelle. She’s reliable, trustworthy, and truly loves animals.”
