“Having the peace of mind knowing our sensitive pup Sophie was in kind and patient hands is invaluable. Thank you, Cori and Chris for taking such good care of our girl. 🐶”
“Greg and Kat were so wonderful with my dog Mando! It was my first time using Rover for my dog and I was a bit nervous but they kept me updated the entire time with lots of pictures. He always looked well cared for. Highly recommend!”
“Ankea and her family are some of the nicest people we have ever met! She constantly sends us pictures and videos of our loved one. It is obvious that our puppy really enjoys staying with Ankea and her doggies. Sometimes I wonder if our dog even wants to come home since she has so much fun there ;}”
“I just used Nithya's dog sitting serve and am very happy with her care. She is very responsive, send me multiple pictures of my dog and took a very good care of her. I highly recommend her and definitely take my dog back to her when the need comes. Her dog also is very friendly and my dog enjoyed her company. Thank you Nithya”
“Scott and Lori were amazing with our frenchie Wally and communicated with us daily while we were on vacation. It was so great to see photos and videos while we were away; it really made us feel like our dog was in great hands all week. They also went above and beyond and took Wally to the beach not once, but TWICE in the same week and he loved it!! Thank you for the best boarding experience! I think our dog missed Scott and Lori after we picked him up from his "stay-cation", so that says a lot about his stay in their lovely home. We don't take many vacations but are looking forward to having him stay with Scott and Lori again next time!!!”
“Annie & Ty are amazing! Your dog will feel home with them. Their care for our dog was above and beyond. If they’re available, book them, don’t hesitate!”
“We found Demi to be extremely knowledgeable about dogs and she genially loves taking great care of them. Charlie was well taken care of during his stay and enjoyed hanging out with her beautiful dogs. At the end of the stay our little dog was so attached to her. Going forward we plan on using Demi for all our pet sitting needs. So happy to have found her. I would highly recommend Demi to all my friends and colleagues for their pet sitting needs.”
“Kara was fantastic with our dog. I felt completely at ease knowing she was taking care of him while we were out of town. Lots of walks, attention, daily updates, photos, and homemade treats! I would definitely rebook with her again.”
“Deepika was available for a last minute need to help us keep our dog while we were moving out of our home. She was responsive on text and provide pictures during the day. I would definitely consider her again in the future.”
“Alice & Micah were absolutely the best! Our dog was so happy and comfortable with them. They provided a safe, friendly, and loving home for him. Alice sent me daily updates with pictures. I am very happy and look forward to using them again. They are wonderful.”
“We are so lucky to have Michelle and Steve (and their sweet lab Daisy) for our Tapi. They are so caring and treat our big puppy like their own baby. He gets so much attention and they are always conscientious about keeping their dogs safe. Tapi absolutely LOVES going there and he had such a blast with his 5 night boarding with them.”
“Crystal took care of my dog Charlie very well and I can tell that he was in good hands as soon as we met her. All he likes to do is snuggle and be next to someone and she took the time to be with him and make sure he felt comfortable. He’s a little anxious sometimes, but even when we got him back, there were no signs that he was anxious and he was just as happy as if we never left him. we will certainly consider having Crystal watch him again as they bonded very well. Thank you, Crystal!”
About: I’ve spent over a decade caring for my own dog, a pit bull who was part of my family for 11 years and lived to 15 years old. He faced multiple health challenges over the years, including cancer, and I supported him through every stage of his life. That experience taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to stay calm and consistent, even in more demanding situations. I’m comfortable with medium to large breeds and understand the importance of structure, routine, and a safe, stable environment. I treat every dog with the same level of care and respect I gave my own I’m retired, so I’m home most of the day and able to provide consistent care, attention, and supervision. My wife also works from home, so there is almost always someone present to make sure your dog is safe and comfortable. We’re able to maintain a steady routine with regular potty breaks, feeding, walks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Dogs in our care are rarely left alone and are treated like part of the family. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and secure home environment where dogs are always supervised and cared for. Since I’m retired and my wife works from home, there is almost always someone present, so your dog won’t be left alone for long periods. I take the time to understand each dog’s routine, personality, and needs to ensure they feel safe and comfortable while they’re here. I also keep a close eye on behavior and interactions at all times. My goal is to provide an stress-free, reliable experience so you can feel confident your dog is in good hands. To keep a safe and comfortable home environment, I ask that dogs are house-trained and non-destructive. Owners are responsible for any significant damage caused during a stay.”
“I’ve used Rover in the past but let me tell you I would highly recommend Gelare E. To anyone who’s looking for someone to watch their fur babies. Never in my life had someone loved and cared for our spirit like this beautiful family. They are above a 10 plus. I would never have no one but Gelare to watch my fur babies. I can’t say enough about the love and care they have for Animals. When I say trust me I mean that from my heart. They are the best fur babies sitters in the world to me. If I could give them the world for taking care of our boy spirit! I would. They are extra extra special dog sitters. Thank you God for beautiful animal lovers like this family ❤️🥰🙏🩷😇”
“Marta was great! She was super responsive, communicated very well and I could tell my dog was in the best hands. She sent me a ton of photos and videos every day! I will definitely use her again in the future!”
“We couldn't be happier to have found May! As is our mini Bernedoodle, Zoey, who clearly had THE best time while at May's house. May was absolutely wonderful in sending daily updates and photos, which I really appreciated seeing while out of the country, and it was easy to see just how well taken care of Zoey was. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend May and we will for sure be back!”
“Martin and Crystal took great care of our boy Blu! We took a trip for over a week during the holidays and Martin and Crystal were easy to work with and happy to take our fur baby. They have a great setup for dogs and they provide a homely and comfortable atmosphere. Their dogs were also great playmates. I appreciated that they provided updates throughout the week. Blu came home happy and exhausted! I am looking forward to booking with them again and I know Blu is too!!”

“There are no words to describe how thankful we are for Lisa‘s care and love of Derby while we were away this past week. A wildfire was started behind us just at the perimeter of our complex and Lisa was on the ball and monitoring it, ready to walk in to evacuate our girl Derby along with other residents who were evacuating with pets. being so far away and not able to be here to see if all was safe, but knowing that Lisa was with Derby during this week made us feel so relieved and tremendously helped us to feel confident that she would also be kept safe. Her care the entire week was as usual the very best on all fronts and we are just so grateful to have found such a wonderful human and sitter in Lisa! 🥰😻♥️”
“Kimberly was so awesome! She is the first person that we’ve ever left our cats with. She took such great care of them and helped us parents not worry. We hope to have her watch our fur babies again.”
About: https://www.rover.com/sit/racheb16940 Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who grew up surrounded by dogs and truly can’t imagine life without them. I’ve had my own dog, Dougie, since he was a puppy, so I understand firsthand the care, patience, and consistency dogs need at every stage of life. We’re a very active household — regular hikes, dog beach trips, long walks, and plenty of outdoor time are part of our routine. That said, I’m just as happy providing calm companionship, belly rubs, and lots of snuggles for dogs who prefer a slower pace. I pride myself on being reliable, trustworthy, and safety-focused. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, and any special needs, and I always make sure dogs feel comfortable, secure, and loved while they’re in my care. Friends and family often trust me with their pets because they know I treat every dog like my own. Whether your dog needs exercise, structure, or simply a friendly face and extra affection, I’m here to help. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I have full availability working from home. Dougie is eight, so I’ve had a solid routine since he was a puppy with lots of exercise and snuggles. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet in my care. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, and any special instructions, to keep them comfortable and stress-free. Safety is always my top priority — I supervise pets closely, use leashes during walks, and keep spaces secure and hazard-free. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I treat every pet like my own and keep owners updated with regular messages and photos.
About: I have grown up with both dogs and cats and have cared for many pets of my own over the years. My experience spans every life stage - from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets needing gentle, attentive support. I've worked with a wide range of breeds and temperaments and understand how to tailor care to each animal's unique needs. I currently share my home with two Australian Shepherds, ages 5 and 6, who keep me active and always learning. I've also provided care for many pets belonging to friends, family, and clients, always treating them with the same love and respect I give my own animals. I'm a true animal and nature lover, and I take pride in creating a safe, positive, and comfortable experience for every pet in my care. Pet care is naturally woven into my day. Because I work from home, I'm able to maintain a consistent routine that keeps me available for walks, checkins, feeding schedules, and companionship throughout the day. I structure my work around the pets I am caring for, ensuring they receive regular attention, exercise, and supervision. Whether it's morning walks, midday playtime, or evening check-ins, I'm able to provide reliable, flexible care that fits each pets individual needs. When caring for pets in a client's home, my focus is on maintaining their routine, comfort, and sense of security. I follow the pet parent's instructions closely, keep the environment clean and safe, and make sure each pet receives plenty of attention, companionship, and structure throughout the visit.
“Aubrey is the best! Looks like our dog had a great time based on the adorable pictures she got of him, and everything was in order when we got home. Absolutely will keep using Aubrey to care for our boy!”
“We were out of town for a week and a half and Lindsay took wonderful care of our two cats. She was always on time, did not rush and made sure the cats got the attention they needed, and she was great at sending pictures and communicating as needed. This is our second time having Lindsay take care of our pets and I plan to use her as needed in the future and would highly recommend her.”
About: Hello I’m Nancy! I’m a recent college graduate from UCSD who would prefer more animal friends than humans. I joined Rover to meet more local furry neighbors and help out pet owners. I’m a hamster owner myself, but I have plenty of house sitting experience for dogs and cats since 2021. Owners that book recurring visits often see their pets are excited to see me again. I’m honored to be your sitter — your pet will get all of my love and affection and you will receive lots of (goofy) photos to prove that. Cat owners extremely benefit from me, as I have a younger sister who also helps out whenever I am cat sitting. Your cat will understand what it is like to be a celebrity between the two of us since we are big cat lovers! My schedule is night shift, I work 11pm-7:30am. I typically don’t sleep until a couple hours later (10-11am) and I wake up around 5pm. So my schedule can align well with pets that are familiar with a typical 9-5 schedule. I rarely travel so my schedule can accommodate pets under short notice. Before you entrust me with the care of your friend, I’d love to know more about them. Ideally, I’d love to schedule a meet and greet beforehand so they get used to me and so we both know more about each other. It is important to me that I meet you and your pet’s expectations. I’d love to know all the quirks and traits of your pet.
“Jessica did drop-in visits for our cat while we were away for a few days. She was responsive from beginning to end, and I felt confident to leave Oliver with her. She gave daily updates and made us feel at ease. Would love to have Jessica come take care of Oliver again in the future. Thank you Jessica!”
“Thank you Verona for taking care of our kitties while we were abroad! Verona is really warm and loving person. This is the first time we using a sitter and we were little concerned at the beginning. But after meeting with her, we totally relived and knew she would take good care of our babies! We will definitely hire her again in the future ❤️”
“Michelle was wonderful! She was very easy to communicate with and you could tell she has a real passion for being around animals. She took great care of our two cats; I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a fantastic pet sitter!”
“Lauren was great! I was able to book her the night before for our kitties. Lauren was super responsive and sent multiple pictures and videos. It was very comforting to know they were doing well and in good hands. Will definitely book again next time we need a sitter.”

“Alicia was awesome!! We last minute needed someone to watch our high energy puppy over the week and she was the perfect help. She asked questions to make sure she knew just how to care for our mini Aussiedoodle while we were gone. I would definitely recommend her to other pet owners!”

“We will definitely be back! Pika had the best time. We loved the fun updates all day. Gave us peace of mind while we were at Disney. Thank you for being flexible and kind to our little guy.”
About: I grew up with a multi-poodle who was part of my life for 12 years. She was more than just a pet (she was family) and taking care of her taught me so much about what dogs need and how much love they give back. Since then, I’ve always been around dogs, whether it’s through friends or family, and it’s something that’s just always felt natural to me. I love being around them, and caring for them doesn’t feel like a task, it’s just something I genuinely enjoy. I am currently available anytime Monday through Friday. Outside of pet care, I just finished my bachelors degree in Architecture and am now studying for my licensing exams! Right now, I am offering pet care in my own home. I am also happy to care for pets in their own space, where they’re most comfortable. I always make sure to follow any instructions the owner provides, whether it’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or specific routines. I’m very attentive to each pet’s needs and personality, and I make it a priority to keep them feeling safe, happy, and well cared for while their owner is away.
“Johna and Raymond were such great sitters !! My pup Canela had a blast in their yard and she was tired out by the time I was there for pick up- which is good for me. Johna sent pictures for updates throughout the day and responded quickly. For a first time user with rover I’m happy I found them! Good feedback was given as I am learning myself how to be a new dog owner and I’m excited for Canela to stay with them in the future!”
About: I’ve had my personal dog since I was 11 years old. He is always happy with me, smiles and loves me to death. He is quite old, but he is in a good health because I was looking after him, went to the veterinary with him, played with him, walked a lot and made him happy. I hope I will be able to share my love for pets and caring for them with your dogs! I am currently working part-time around 10-11 hours per week so I have a lot of free time and my schedule is flexible. Apart from working I can look after your dog but please schedule in advance. I have a backyard and a lawn for dogs to walk and play on. My neighborhood is safe and there are not a lot of big dogs there so small and medium dogs will feel good there.
“My shy girl really likes Ankea and does well with her. Ankea was able to handle my dog's unexpected mischievous behavior well during my dog's most recent visit. Thank you :)”
“Our puppy had such a great time at their home. I loved their communication with me and their attention to make sure he was safely introduced to the new dogs. You can tell Michelle and Steve really love dogs.”
“I’m so grateful for Chris & Corinne and the awesome job they did taking care of my dog, Kieran. I needed some last-minute help and not only were they able to accommodate my short notice booking, but they also made time to squeeze in a meet-and-greet session so my dog could have a chance to acclimate a little. My dog can be a bit anxious and tends to warm to new people pretty slowly, but within minutes of meeting he seemed at ease in their home and even came up to them for pets. During the actual visit, I got a midday check-in, complete with a photo of my boy relaxing and looking perfectly comfortable and content without me. If I wasn’t in the process of moving, I would definitely use them as our regular sitters!”
“Andrea was wonderful. She was able to take my dog at the last minute. She was warm, welcoming, and very friendly. She took excellent care of my dog and would use her again in a heartbeat. My kids also loved petting all the dogs when we went to pick him up.”
“Odie, Bubble and Pippa just had a half-day trial day with Annie and Ty and their two girls and everything went fantastic! Annie and Ty provided plenty of photos and feedback that everyone was having a good time. They also took all three pups on a much appreciated walk. I feel very lucky to have found a home away from home that all three of my dogs eill enjoy visiting. More stays to come!”
“Greg was awesome! Thank you for being so accommodating and taking great care of our Sasha. Appreciate the communication and photos throughout the stay. Looking forward to see you again.”
“Our dog was well cared for by Deepika. She came home happy and very tired! She had a good time playing with Deepika dog. Would definitely seek out care with her again! Thanks”
“Kara was amazing! My anxious and hyperactive pup loooves going to see her. She comes back calm, content, and happily worn out. Kara goes above and beyond , bringing her to the park, multiple walks, and made her homemade healthy dog treats. Best of all she is so clearly at ease when I drop her off in the mornings that I am able to relax at work knowing she’s happy and in good hands.”

About: Since I was young I always kept small pets around, starting with two hamsters. As a gift before my first day of middle school, my parents finally allowed me to get a dog and I’ve been loving her since. She is now 8 years old and I understand how important it is for pet owners to feel comfortable letting their pets be taken care of by someone else. We don’t want to leave our little family members with just anyone which is why I think I’ll be able to offer a little extra love and happiness to your pets while they are home alone. In addition to my dog at home I have always watched over my friends and family member’s pets as they go on vacations or are just out for the day. I would love to be able to do that for your pet as well.

My schedule is very flexible so please just message me and we can try to work something out!

About: I’ve cared for dogs of many breeds, sizes, and temperaments for over a decade. I’m especially comfortable with medium to large dogs and those that benefit from calm, consistent handling. My approach is structured and attentive. I follow instructions carefully, prioritize safety on walks, and pay close attention to each dog’s behavior and comfort level. I believe dogs respond best to steady energy, clear boundaries, and predictable routines. I provide updates and photos after each visit so owners can feel confident their dog is safe, exercised, and settled. I take this responsibility seriously and aim to be someone pet parents can rely on week after week. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, especially on weekends. I’m available Saturdays and Sundays for walks and drop-in visits, with flexible morning, midday, and afternoon availability. I plan my schedule carefully so I can arrive on time, focus fully on each visit, and provide consistent, reliable care rather than rushing between appointments. I prioritize safety, calm handling, and clear communication during every visit. I follow pet parents’ instructions carefully, use secure leashes and appropriate equipment, and stay attentive to each dog’s behavior and comfort level. I respect clients’ homes, double-check doors and gates, and provide photo updates so owners feel confident their pet is safe and well cared for.
“Amazing person! Very responsive and helpful. She spent time before hand getting as much information about him as possible. That made me feel really good knowing she took the time to get to know our dog/family member!”
About: I have grown up with dogs since I was born! I've walked and fed them for years. I currently have three dogs and a cat who I love very much. I have pet sit in the past as well as babysat! I am a college student who has class Monday-Thursday and works a restaurant job twice a week. However, I am happy to pet sit around those things! I can easily crate the pet if needed, take them on walks and potty breaks, play outdoors, feed and refill water when needed, and make them feel as comfortable as possible!

“Having the peace of mind knowing our sensitive pup Sophie was in kind and patient hands is invaluable. Thank you, Cori and Chris for taking such good care of our girl. 🐶”
“Greg and Kat were so wonderful with my dog Mando! It was my first time using Rover for my dog and I was a bit nervous but they kept me updated the entire time with lots of pictures. He always looked well cared for. Highly recommend!”
“Scott and Lori were amazing with our frenchie Wally and communicated with us daily while we were on vacation. It was so great to see photos and videos while we were away; it really made us feel like our dog was in great hands all week. They also went above and beyond and took Wally to the beach not once, but TWICE in the same week and he loved it!! Thank you for the best boarding experience! I think our dog missed Scott and Lori after we picked him up from his "stay-cation", so that says a lot about his stay in their lovely home. We don't take many vacations but are looking forward to having him stay with Scott and Lori again next time!!!”
“Deepika was available for a last minute need to help us keep our dog while we were moving out of our home. She was responsive on text and provide pictures during the day. I would definitely consider her again in the future.”
“We are so lucky to have Michelle and Steve (and their sweet lab Daisy) for our Tapi. They are so caring and treat our big puppy like their own baby. He gets so much attention and they are always conscientious about keeping their dogs safe. Tapi absolutely LOVES going there and he had such a blast with his 5 night boarding with them.”
“Crystal took care of my dog Charlie very well and I can tell that he was in good hands as soon as we met her. All he likes to do is snuggle and be next to someone and she took the time to be with him and make sure he felt comfortable. He’s a little anxious sometimes, but even when we got him back, there were no signs that he was anxious and he was just as happy as if we never left him. we will certainly consider having Crystal watch him again as they bonded very well. Thank you, Crystal!”
About: I’ve spent over a decade caring for my own dog, a pit bull who was part of my family for 11 years and lived to 15 years old. He faced multiple health challenges over the years, including cancer, and I supported him through every stage of his life. That experience taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to stay calm and consistent, even in more demanding situations. I’m comfortable with medium to large breeds and understand the importance of structure, routine, and a safe, stable environment. I treat every dog with the same level of care and respect I gave my own I’m retired, so I’m home most of the day and able to provide consistent care, attention, and supervision. My wife also works from home, so there is almost always someone present to make sure your dog is safe and comfortable. We’re able to maintain a steady routine with regular potty breaks, feeding, walks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Dogs in our care are rarely left alone and are treated like part of the family. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and secure home environment where dogs are always supervised and cared for. Since I’m retired and my wife works from home, there is almost always someone present, so your dog won’t be left alone for long periods. I take the time to understand each dog’s routine, personality, and needs to ensure they feel safe and comfortable while they’re here. I also keep a close eye on behavior and interactions at all times. My goal is to provide an stress-free, reliable experience so you can feel confident your dog is in good hands. To keep a safe and comfortable home environment, I ask that dogs are house-trained and non-destructive. Owners are responsible for any significant damage caused during a stay.”
“I’ve used Rover in the past but let me tell you I would highly recommend Gelare E. To anyone who’s looking for someone to watch their fur babies. Never in my life had someone loved and cared for our spirit like this beautiful family. They are above a 10 plus. I would never have no one but Gelare to watch my fur babies. I can’t say enough about the love and care they have for Animals. When I say trust me I mean that from my heart. They are the best fur babies sitters in the world to me. If I could give them the world for taking care of our boy spirit! I would. They are extra extra special dog sitters. Thank you God for beautiful animal lovers like this family ❤️🥰🙏🩷😇”
“Marta was great! She was super responsive, communicated very well and I could tell my dog was in the best hands. She sent me a ton of photos and videos every day! I will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Martin and Crystal took great care of our boy Blu! We took a trip for over a week during the holidays and Martin and Crystal were easy to work with and happy to take our fur baby. They have a great setup for dogs and they provide a homely and comfortable atmosphere. Their dogs were also great playmates. I appreciated that they provided updates throughout the week. Blu came home happy and exhausted! I am looking forward to booking with them again and I know Blu is too!!”
“Holly was an amazing sitter for Hazel. I received regular pupdates with pictures and in every single photo Hazel looked absolutely comfortable and happy with Holly, her home, and her family (including her 2 dogs). I feel 100% confident and comfortable using Holly’s services in the near future and would recommend her to anyone.”
“Our Coco (mixed German Shepperd) had a great time! It was our first time to leave him, after his rescue 5 months ago. Coco played for 5 days running around the wonderful yard with his new friends! A video and pictures were sent, which was nice for us! When we picked him-he was so happy to see us and was ready to leave but first he ran back over to Andrea, for one last rub and to say thank you for taking care of me! That sealed the deal with us-she'll be our #1 person to call for our next trip!”
“Marley had a fantastic time with Jenny! She was great about sending lots of pictures and videos so we always felt in the loop. He got lots of trips to the dog park and enjoyed playing with her dog Lucky. I know he’s already looking forward to his next visit with her!”
“Ann and Jim were absolutely wonderful!! We felt such peace of mind leaving our sweet dog in their care during our vacation. Ann was truly a pleasure to work with at each step; very responsive, accommodating, thoughtful, and kind. We are grateful to have found Ann on Rover, to have an excellent boarding option in the future.”
“Nikki was great with Harley, I had a meet and greet with her before. She has two great and very friendly dogs. I felt safe leaving Harley with her and she took the most amazing pictures of him.”
“Caleb watched our dog for 14 days when I was on an overseas trip and he was very flexible and understanding when I needed to extend my trip at the last minute. That was a huge relief and much appreciated! Our dog had lots of fun at his house and came home tired, which is always nice, ha.”
“Cocoa Beans had a great stay! Norma was a great communicator and sent me lots of pics and updates. Cocoa is blind and I was a little worried but she was able to keep up with all the other dogs. I’ll def use Norma in the future.”
“I want to thank you for taking such good care of Benji while we were gone for one week. I kept receiving photos of Benji playing with another dog and being happy and calm. Everything went smoothly and nice. I recommend Mayank family and I will definitely book again with you next time”
