“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!”
“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!”

“We're so grateful to have found Linda to care for our Bodhi. She's so loving and sweet with him, and we know that his every need is being tended to. We love the photos and updates that she sends, and the fact that he cries when it's time to go home shows us that he loves her right back!”
“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!”

“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!”
“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!”

“Adriana and Cameron are exceptional. Even when my pup was nervous on the first day I knew he was in good hands and that speaks volumes coming from me. He was accepted into their home as one of their own. When I picked up my besty he was in good spirits and not running for the car!! I give them 5 ⭐️ Rating!!! Thank you guys”
“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!”

“Elisabeth was so incredible! Cannot recommend her enough. She watched our angelic yet clingy Siberian 1.5yr old cat every day for a week for an hour plus. My partner and I were going out of town for the first time since we adopted him and were extremely anxious about leaving him. A friend of ours had recommended Elisabeth, so we interviewed her and she was the obvious choice! Once we left, she was communicative with how Wally was doing and updated us with photos every day. Upon our return, he was happy to see us but it was clear he wasn’t starved for attention! It made us feel even more at ease that he clearly hadn’t been stressed about our absence at all. In a world out there where trusting your little one to someone else (and having them in your home) can be scary and anxiety-producing, you def want someone like Elisabeth taking care of them. Hire her!”
“Paige was an amazing sitter for my cat! She played with her during her drop ins and kept constant communication including sending me pics of each visit. I will definitely book with her again next time I go out of town. Thanks again Paige!”
“Milla watched my cats for a long trip and she is great at communicating and was very professional. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter. She responded quickly when I had questions and my cats really liked her. She kept my space clean and tidy for when I came home as well. Thank you Milla!”
“CJ did a great job with the cats while I was gone for 10 days. He was able to come twice a day and hang out with them and give them the attention they needed. He updated me on everything and was easy to communicate with. He also shared great pictures from each visit! I came home to two happy cats.”
“McKenzie took great care of our cats, Pepper and Oscar, while we were away. She did drop-in visits, made sure they were fed and checked on, and kept us at ease the whole time. We came home to two happy cats and everything in great shape. Would definitely book her again!”
“I could not have asked for a better doggy sitter for my butter than Yam! She has a natural ability to connect with animals and it’s so obvious. She cared so well for my dog and it reassured me while I was on vacation. She is dependable and trustworthy. Would book her every time! Thank you!”
“Lara did an excellent job taking care of my two 🐈 .She was always on time and very reliable, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I especially appreciated the regular updates she provided after each visit—it was reassuring to know how my cats were doing and that they were in good hands. She was attentive, caring, and clearly experienced with pets. My cats were well taken care of, and I could tell they were comfortable with her. I would definitely recommend Lara to anyone looking for a trustworthy and responsible pet sitter!”
“Nadia came to my rescue at the last minute when I had a funeral to go to in California. My other sitter canceled and she was free and offered to come and take care of my 3 cats. She was very capable and took very good care of them and my home. Everything was spic ‘n span when I got home and my happy little girls waiting to greet me. Nadia really loves taking care of animals and she took great care of mine!”

“Kristyn took great care of my two kittens when we were out of town for 7 days. She spent time on petting, playing with my cats. I know my kittens are in the good hand when I saw pictures which my kittens were lying on her legs. Kristyn sent me pictures and how they were doing everyday, so I don’t worry about them at all. If I will need similar help, I will go to Kristyn again for sure. Thank you so much for Kristyn’s help. It is much better than sending the kittens to the commercial pet hotel.”

“She's great. My dog has never been with anyone but family and she is able to comfort him. With my schedule changing, it is wonderful having her as a backup for work. Like I said, she's great.”
About: I provide calm, attentive, and personalized care, making sure every pet feels comfortable and secure in my care. I have hands-on experience with puppies who need structure, consistency, and positive reinforcement, as well as senior pets who benefit from patience, gentle handling, and extra attention. I’m comfortable giving medication, following special feeding routines, and keeping up with any training or house rules you have in place. What truly sets me apart is the care and attention I put into getting to know each pet. I take the time to understand their personality, energy level, and comfort cues so they feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet like my own and always prioritize safety, clear communication, and dependable care. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I work from home. This allows me to be present, attentive, and flexible throughout the day for walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. Pets in my care are never left alone for long periods and receive consistent attention and supervision. When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions, and house rules provided by the owner to help pets feel comfortable and secure. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and mental stimulation based on their energy level and personality, along with quiet time for rest. Safety is always a priority, and I closely monitor behavior, appetite, and overall well-being. I also provide regular updates with photos and messages so owners feel confident and connected while they’re away. My goal is to create a calm, loving environment where pets feel safe, relaxed, and cared for—just like they would at home.
“Susanee is an excellent dog sitter! She took great care of my dog, Zhuangzhuang, and there was also another Bernese dog for them to play with, which helped Zhuangzhuang burn off a lot of energy. Plus, Susanee has a large, fenced yard, perfect for active pets. Zhuangzhuang had a fantastic day!”
About: I have personally owned two dogs, a golden retriever and an Australian shepherd. Though our sweet golden made her way across the rainbow bridge after 15 years together, our Aussie is living in WA with her grandma and grand-paw, where she has a big yard to play in! I have always had no less than three kitties at one time, until moving to San Diego. I now have two Maine coons, Milo and Milly. I like to describe them as a sassy teenager and a toddler going through his terrible two’s, but I wouldn’t have it any other way! Their spunky personalities are what attracted me to Rover. I’m so excited to meet your fur babies! I recently left my career in finance to focus on raising my son and to spend more time with my family and two kitties. Because of this, I have the freedom and flexibility to make my own schedule and accommodate your pets’ schedules. My two year old and I take 2-3 walks a day and trips to the park throughout the week, but we’d love to be joined by your pup or to make a pit stop to see your kitty! Personally, I do not let my cats outside due to how many coyotes are nearby. We do have a fenced yard for doggies to run and play in. Our home is clean, with endless toys for them to play with!
About: Hi, I’m Emily - a life long dog lover who's had pups most of my life, including my sweet Pomeranian who lived to 19 years old. I work from home, so your dog will have constant companionship, lots of love, and plenty of attention throughout the day. We have a fenced yard for safe play and zoomies, and I truly treat every pup like part of the family. From walks to snuggles, I’m here to make your dog’s stay pawsitively great 🐾 I currently work from home so I'm available 24/7 to take care of your sweet pup. Because of my flexible schedule, I can easily adjust to your fur baby's unique needs. I am available Monday - Sundays for boarding at my home in La Mesa, CA. I have a fenced yard and a sweet Pomeranian to keep your dog(s) company. I can adjust to your furry friend's eating, walking and sleeping schedule. I'm here to ensure your dog is as happy as possible while you're away.
“Ben and Luke were great with Penny and she had such a great time with them! She had a blast playing with their 4 other fur babies. We'll definitely be a returning client. Thank you Ben and Luke for taking such great care of our baby.”
“Whitney is one of the most comprehensive and attentive sitters I’ve gotten. Got loads of pictures and fantastic updates! Definitely a recommend and would love to have her take care of Terry again!”
About: I am very active and will walk and play with your fur babies. I have owned and cared for pets over 40 plus years. Always positive reinforcement. I am retired and available to care for your pets any time day and night. I will be available over the holidays as well this year. My home is clean and organized and pet friendly environment. Free to roam and access to a patio area with fresh air. Also grass area.
“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!”
“Rebecca was amazing. I requested the night before, and she made room for Pancake the next day. She had an amazing time playing with the other dogs and kiddos at the house and came home to zonk out. Thank you so much for giving her such fun days!”
About: I only accept one doggie family at a time, so your dog(s) will be the only ones here for boarding and doggie day care. I wanted to create a safe place for reactive dogs, little loners, and calm senior doggies who just want a place they can be themselves and have my full attention! I am a dog-lover with my whole life of experience in caring for them. I have had them in all shapes and sizes - my first two dogs being big German Shepherds to my last dog which was a little Maltipoo, and a few in between. I have potty trained quite a few dogs in my life, as well as helped them through their senior years. Most important of all, I will love your pets like they're my own children! 🩷 I'm currently working part time from home so I have plenty of availability to take your pup outside for potty breaks or walks and give them attention throughout the day. I have a safe, fenced yard with plenty of room for sniffing and sunshine. Big dogs will have room to run and fetch. I also have senior dog care items like a step to get on the couch. I allow dogs to be free in the house, they are never crated unless the owner specifically requests it as part of their nightly routine. In that case - I have a long gate that can be made into a pen, and a cage for a small dog, if requested. Pets are family here - I have always allowed my own pets on the couch or bed and will do the same for yours unless you prefer otherwise.
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.
“I was so worried about leaving my dog Murphy with a sitter because he is old, blind and partially deaf. But Taylor was great with him! Murphy seemed happy and at ease when I picked him up. I will definitely reach out to Taylor if I need a sitter for Murphy again!”
About: I’ve spent my whole life around pets, caring for them with love and dedication. After my own dog, Techa, passed away, I realized I still have so much love to give, even if I’m not quite ready to adopt again. That became part of my own journey with pets, and it’s why I opened my home to welcome and care for other families’ dogs. I don’t just stay home with them, I take them out, observe them closely, and tune into what they need and what makes them feel happy and safe. I have a natural intuition with dogs and pay close attention to their behavior and energy so they feel understood and comfortable. I also love sending lots of photos and videos so you can feel connected and at ease while you’re away, just like I would want for my own dog. . Be prepared for some cute photo bombing! Because I work remotely, your dog will have constant companionship, care, and lots of love throughout the day. I’m available for weekends and extended stays, and I always send daily photo and video updates for peace of mind. I have a fenced yard with a small garden, and there are no other animals in the house, so your pet will receive my full attention. I believe animals need daily outings to stay healthy and happy, so I offer at least two walks a day, either short or long depending on their needs. Playtime and affection are also essential parts of my care routine. If I care for your pet at their home, I make sure to follow their regular routine, so they feel comfortable and secure in their own environment. I also send daily photos and videos to owners so they can relax knowing their furry family member is safe, happy, and well cared for
“Honeybear was well take care of. Thank you for giving us an update on her. It really meant a lot to us while we were on an all day bus tour. We really appreciated that. We hope to see you guys again!”
“As a mom of a toy senior fur baby who’s almost 17, it’s always worrisome when she’s not in my care with her growing list of health issues and how fragile she is. But luckily I found Eden who is amazing and has the kindest, most loving energy! Her love for dogs is apparent and shows in how she cares for both her own and mine. ❤️ She carefully asked all the appropriate questions, gave me a tour of her place (along with a separate living area perfect for small dogs; connected to a dog door and outdoor dog run) and updated me throughout the stay with pictures and quickly answered any questions I had. Thanks again Eden, you’re a lifesaver and I look forward to future bookings with you! 🐶 ❤️🫶🏻”

About: I’ve loved and cared for pets all my life! I have frequently dog sat for friends, and I have owned dogs, cats, fish and my lovely horse Fenway. My home is centered around pet comfort and ease, especially for the puppies who get the zoomies! My schedule is super flexible! I have lots of time to make sure needs are met and your pet is well taken care of. No steps skipped in making sure your pet is happy and healthy. My home, just as your home will be, is kept neat, and is organized in such a way that caters to pet safety and comfort. Mental and physical stimulation is a great way to burn energy, and a tired pup is a calm one. I love playing with your furry friends for as long as needed to make nap time something they look forward to!

“Paige is wonderful with my dog, who has leash anxiety. As our regular dog walker, she is always punctual and communicative. On our first visit, Paige took the time to ask thoughtful questions about his triggers, routines, allergies, treats, and do’s and don’ts before starting. She handled him calmly and patiently, making safety and positive interactions a clear priority. I really appreciated how attentive and understanding she is, which gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in caring, capable hands. Highly recommend!”

“Nadia has been great at communicating. She uses the most of their time on their walks, rain or shine. And she goes the extra mile (e.g. offering to wipe their paws after walks).”
“Kairi is absolutely in love with Martha and she's been a dream to work with. Attentive and available, she checks in and is great at staying on time or asking questions when needed. Martha takes directions really well and communicates effectively. Plus my 2-year-old Siberian Husky Kairi is always thrilled to see Martha and go for a walk. We are absolutely regulars now!”

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!”
“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!”
“Adriana and Cameron are exceptional. Even when my pup was nervous on the first day I knew he was in good hands and that speaks volumes coming from me. He was accepted into their home as one of their own. When I picked up my besty he was in good spirits and not running for the car!! I give them 5 ⭐️ Rating!!! Thank you guys”
“Madison and Moises are absolute saints! I can’t recommend them enough! My move back out to CA was filled with many unexpected difficulties, so finding a good dog sitter I could trust made the difficult transition much easier. They took amazing care of my pups and provided daily detailed updates and thoughtful photos. They went above and beyond making it feel like my dogs were a part of their family taking exceptional care of them. They were always very quick to respond, communicative, kind, and very accommodating when I needed to extend my dogs’ boarding. There was a nice sized backyard for my dogs to play in with other boarded dogs and a cozy indoor area with crates and food bowls already provided. I also learned a lot about dog behavior from their experienced knowledge. 10 out of 10 experience!”
“Katelyn and Paul are the best! They took really good care of our boys while we were out of town! This was the first time that we left our boys with a sitter so we were a little nervous. We couldn’t of chosen a better couple! Katelyn and Paul are true dog lovers and we knew they would be in great hands. They also have a really nice and spacious backyard for dogs to enjoy. Overall a great experience! We will definitely use their services again in the future! ❤️?”
“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!”
“Aki truly saved the day. She stepped in to watch Brady when I had a cancellation. She let me know how Brady was doing especially her eating habits which can be quite erratic. Her pictures of Brady let me know my little gal was quite content. I would definitely use her again.”
“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!”
“Benny immediately gravitated towards Nick and we knew it was a good match. Nick expressed his love of dogs and it showed with the care he provided Benny. Nick was very attentive and kept us updated with Benny very frequently, providing pictures and videos of Benny enjoying his time with Nick. We also appreciated the feedback that Nick provided at the end of Benny's stay with Nick. Overall we are extremely happy with Nick and look forward to having Benny under his care in the future.”
