“We received regular updates and pictures which was great. Our Hugo was treated like a member of the family and was really happy. Always attentive and good communication - couldn’t ask for more. Thank you!”

“May and Mark save the day again! We needed a last minute sitter for our 10 month old puppy and May and Mark were happy to help. Our dog loves all the walks and playtime he gets with their dog pepper. Plus, we love the pictures they share of their adventures together. They’re the best!”

“We were originally a bit skeptical since we’ve only ever left our dog with people we know. But after meeting Maya, we felt completely at ease. She did an amazing job—sending daily photo updates and making sure our girl was clearly well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Maya and family!”


“Beth is excellent, my dog, Princess, is so happy staying at her house for 7 days. She gets along with her dogs and she misses them after she comes back to me. I will definitely ask help from Beth again. Thank you Beth!!!”

“Out of the dozen dogsitters I've used on Rover, Greg is ranked #1 on my list. My dogs looked clean, healthy, and happy when I picked them up. I'll always use Greg if I'm ever in town again. Thanks Greg!”

“Dianne was easy to work with and communicate with. She was punctual when meeting for pick up and drop off. I also appreciated her flexibility with our last minute booking and pick up time changes due to some unexpected circumstances. She sent picture updates and videos and assured us that our buddy was comfortable and safe. Thank you Dianne! I would definitely recommend her and would happily book with her again for future cat sitting needs!”

“Margaret and Kyle were absolute lifesavers for our senior dog over the weekend. They were incredibly accommodating and went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable. It’s clear how much they care, and we couldn’t have asked for more loving, thoughtful sitters for our sweet boy. Highly recommend!”

“Susana was communicative and very accommodating with us. Luna seemed to enjoy her stay and made herself at home at Susana’s. She gave us updates and made everything simple and easy, will definitely be requesting her services again! Ty!”

“We had the most amazing experience with Diana and her husband. They were so gracious to watch my pup last minute during the holidays and were so patient and loving towards her. I felt so comfortable leaving my loved one with them. My shy, “Covid pup” had great socializing-time with the other dogs and came home happier and even more well behaved thanks to the time spent with Diana.”

“Samantha did a wonderful job taking care of our 2 cats while we were traveling. One of them was very timid by nature and immediately went hiding as soon as Samantha started her visits. Samantha was determined to find him, and she successfully found his hiding place after searching every where for a few days. Samantha is very good at getting them comfortable with her. Samantha is very reliable and a quick learner with our Litter Robot 4. We appreciate Samantha's determination and all the TLC she gives to our 2 cats. We definitely will have Samantha take care of them again, and we highly recommend her.”

“Shannon was excellent! She has a genuine love for cats, which really showed in the care she provided. She communicated clearly and sent detailed daily updates with photos, which gave me great peace of mind. I came home to happy, relaxed cats. I would absolutely book with Shannon again. Highly recommend!”


“Michelle was outstanding! She communicated well, showed up on time, and followed my instructions perfectly. Michelle has a way with animals and even my very shy cat had warmed up to her by the end of the visit. I will definitely be booking Michelle again in the future.”

“Sophia was absolutely amazing! Gary was so happy to see her each day! She took such good care of Gary and followed all the instructions I left perfectly! She even helped me avoid some crises when Gary knocked over my TV she made sure everything was ok! I would highly recommend booking with her and I will definitely be using her again!”

“Karen was absolutely fantastic! From scheduling to visits and follow-up she was kind, professional, and prompt. My cat who doesn’t normally associate with sitters took right up Karen. I’m so glad to have had her help us out and will book with her again and again!”


“Thank you Susan for taking care of our cat for the past few days! Appreciated that you spent time ahead of the checkin to get to know her and the place as well.”


“Jessica is amazing!! My cat loves her. I could tell it was the highlight of cheddars day. She let Cheddar snuggle in her lap, played with the cat toys, and left me a sweet note on my return. Jessica went over and above coming back to put Cheddar inside after he escapd by clawing through the screen in my bedroom. She gave me frequent updates. It was great to have Cheddar so well cared for. She’s the best!”

“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!”


“Bella is great! I have a cat who is super shy, but he started coming out to play with Bella really quickly, and I couldn't believe my eyes when she posted a card with him! She also helped my poor plants when there was a storm here.”

“Incredibly friendly and communicative! AJ was more than accommodating to our needs and was very understanding of our unique situation :) he was on time and reliable and was able to administer medicine to our cat, which was important to us. Would highly recommend!”

“Cristal was great with our two kitties! She gave lots of love to our more outgoing cat and always made sure she laid eyes on our more shy cat and got a photo of him. She was easy to communicate with and left our house in great shape after her drop ins. Will definitely being using her services again in the future!”

“Maria watched our fluffy, 6 year old girl for ~10 days while we were out of town, dropping in to check on her twice a day, and we couldn't be happier with how everything went! We received daily updates with pictures so we knew our girl was happy and getting some much-needed attention. Maria watched Kasha for an extended period previously which is why we requested her this time, and we will continue to request her in the future for our cat-sitting needs.”


“Kelsey did a great job taking care of our cat while we were on vacation. She did everything we asked and was very easy to communicate with and very grateful for her service. We will book her again for future trips!!”


“Tiffany was amazing! She was so sweet and thorough. She took the time to have a meet-and-greet with my cat, and was very responsive to messages. She took great care of him and he loved her!”

About: I am an animal lover at heart. I have had cats and dogs for a good portion of my life and treat them as my family. Currently I am working with Second Chance Dog Rescue as a foster mom for shelter dogs. Being a foster mom has been a very rewarding experience by providing rescued dogs with the love and socialization necessary to find their furever home. I work from home full-time which will allow your dog to be loved and cared for while you are out of town. I have been dog sitting (for large and small dogs) for friends for 20+ years, as well as, owning my own dogs and cats. While at my house your dog will play with my 3 small dogs and have plenty of time to play in the yard. Book your stay today, I would love to meet you and your dog! I work full-time from home. Your dog will be with me while I work and will play with my three dogs. I take all animals out for potty breaks every couple hours. This routine is very familiar to me as I have been doing it for 14+ years. I have a completely fenced yard. When your dog goes out to play or go potty, I will be there supervising to ensure all is well. I have a big turf area in my yard for dogs to run and play. All dogs will sleep inside the house either with me in the bedroom or in a crate if they are crate trained. I work from home full-time. Wake up time is between 6-7 AM. Dogs are fed around 7 AM for breakfast and 5 PM for dinner. Your dog will hang out with me while I work inside my home. I have a completely fenced in yard where your dog will run and play on the turf with my dogs. We like to play fetch as well.
“I reached out to Holly with a last minute sitter request. Holly was super responsive to my requests regarding Wee. I appreciate her willingness to go above and beyond by picking her up from my other sitter, as well as being flexible around whether I would need day care or overnight care for her. Will definitely book again!”

“Vinny loved his time with Erika & Mark! They have a lovely home with a great yard for all the doggy play time! Vinny got along so well with their dog, Nora. They became instant besties and I loved I receiving all the cute photos and videos throughout the day! I felt so comfortable knowing he was in great care. Vinny would love to see Nora + Family again soon 🐾💘”

“Annie and Ty have taken wonderful care of my three dogs. My dogs come home, tired and happy! They’ve shared many pics and taken them on walks which my pups love! Their home is a caring, wonderful place for my dogs to hang out when I can’t be with them.Thanks so much guys!!!”

“Michelle and Steve are amazing! They are incredibly patient with my sometimes rambunctious 9 month old sherpard terrier mix. Michelle provides really thorough daily updates with some highlights and works to ensure that the behaviors that the owner is working on with their pup are followed during the stay. The icing on the cake is their pup Daisy. She is incredibly sweet and calm, and my pup Iris loves spending the day playing with her. 10/10 would recommend, and would not hesitate to book for sitting or boarding services!”

About: Dog owner I have a 7 year old dog that gets along with other dogs. Also 2 young kids so pup has to be good with kids. I am home so will be able to walk and feed dogs as frequently as necessary. I typically walk my dog 1x / day . I walk and feed the pets and the kids like to interact with the dogs too. We have a fenced in backyard that dogs love to play in.
“Susana really helped me out when I was in a bind- she accommodated my 8 month old for daycare last minute. He had a great time and passed out right when he got into the car to go home! Thanks again!”

“Kimberly and her family took such great care of our two dogs. We had a meeting in San Diego and needed a dog watcher for a few hours. Kimberly was super quick to answer my questions before booking and helped me figure out how far she was from our meeting and hotel. What a relief and peace of mind. Her home is lovely. The yard is a wonderful play spot for any sized dog. She also asked insightful questions when we first met such as do they like certain treats - made us feel like she not only would house the dogs but would actually care for them and make sure they are having a good time. I highly recommend Kimberly and her pack for daycare and overnight. She's just super cool and has a nice warm energy about her. Five star all the way!”

“Max was great! He clearly loves dogs and he bonded with Finley immediately. Finley had a great time during his day with Max, they even went on a hike! We appreciate that Max sent us a picture showing Finley having fun. Our pup is very energetic and we were pleased that when he came home he crashed for quite a while. We will definitely be booking with Max again.”

“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!”

“I usually don’t like to leave my dog with strangers but I’m so glad someone like Claire is able to take care of my boy, and show him love. Claire is very loving and responsive. I’d definitely take any pet to her before anyone else on this app. I can tell my dog loves going over there with her!”

“Hanna is great. My dog Zeus stayed with her several times now and each time he was completely relaxed and happy when I picked him up. He tends to be skeptical of strangers and stressed out by daycare, but not with Hanna. He gets to play with her dog Bigsby, plays with toys, solves puzzles, goes for walks and eventually snuggles on the sofa when he is tired. Hanna deeply cares about a dog's needs.”

About: Caring for animals brings me so much joy, and I truly believe pets are family. I’ve grown up with dogs and cats, and I currently have a 2 year old cat who is adorable. I understand how important it is to have someone reliable, loving, and attentive to care for your pet when you’re away — and I’d be honored to be that person. Whether it’s a walk, a cozy overnight stay, or just some playful company, I’ll treat your pet like my own. I'm calm, patient, and I pay attention to every detail, from routines to special quirks and needs. My goal is to ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you're gone — and to give you peace of mind. I'm currently working part-time, which gives me the flexibility and energy to provide attentive, loving care to your pets — especially when they need it most. On weekdays after 3 PM and throughout the weekends, I’m available for boarding, drop-ins, or walks. Whether it's a cozy evening walk, playtime in the yard, or a relaxing overnight stay, I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. Spending quality time with animals helps me unwind and brings so much happiness into my life — and I’d love to share that with your furry friend! I have a fenced yard and a indoor cat. Whether it's a cozy evening walk, playtime in the yard, or a relaxing overnight stay, I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for.
“Our dog had a great stay with Clint and his partner! There were many friendly dogs that she could play with, they took her for a walk to a dog park for even more play, and we were sent frequent updates. We got a very tired and happy pup back, which is always great. Thanks Clint!”

“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”

“Thank you so much Michelle for taking Leia for a walk and sending me such a detailed recap with photos! It definitely takes a big load off my shoulders knowing my old girl is cared for when I need to be out of the house for a while :) I’d feel very comfortable having you come back in the future for more walks!”

About: I have a lot of experience growing up and caring for all kinds of dogs, specially big ones. Neighbors and friends have used me may times to watch over their pets when away on vacation. Love spending time with all animals! I recently graduated May 2024 with my Bachelor’s Degree in Biology from ASU, and worked for the last year as a medical assistant! I am resuming classes before applying to medical school and would love to spend my extra free time taking care of your pup/kitty! I’m more than happy to work around anyone’s busy schedule to help watch over their pet! I will always put the safety of the pet first before anything and will always keep an eye on them at all times. I am very careful to make sure to lock up after I am finished with everything. will always double check to make sure the pet is safely put in their crate/ sleeping area and is properly fed, walked, and loved.
“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've been house sitting/ pet sitting for about 15 years now. My friends, family, and neighbors have all trusted me to watch their furry, feathered,or scaled babies for long trips out of state/country or for last minute help. I personally have a few different types of animals from cats and dogs to bunnies and my snake and a few chickens. I've also had experience with live stock as well. I'm also looking going to school to be a vet tech as well! I love going on hikes and being outside so if your furry friends like long walks we will fit perfectly together! I hope to get to know and help you and your babies soon! I am available any day of the week and weekends the only time I'm unavailable is Thursday's from 8pm-12pm for karaoke hosting. Other then that I am free! My house/backyard is safe for dogs and I also have crates for dogs but I perfer to stay where they are comfortable and not anxious. The pets tend to have better experiences when I stay at the client's home.
“Johanna was wonderful with Flynn. She was quick to respond to our request, friendly and came by to meet him ahead of time which made us and Flynn feel very comfortable. Would definitely book her again :)”

About: Hi! My name is Sophia and I am a student at Cal Poly. Throughout my time here, I have wanted a pet of my own but my lease is not pet-friendly. Throughout my life I have been surrounded by other people’s dogs and cats- family, neighbors, and friends- and I jump at every opportunity to watch and spend time with them! I prioritize safety, communication, and trust and I would love to help you take care of your animal and give them the love they deserve! I am currently a full-time student, but I am free all day during Fridays and weekends, am available T/Th after 3:30 pm, and M/W after 6pm. I’m very detail-oriented and thrive when I have clear instructions to follow. I appreciate having all the information upfront about how tasks should be done, and I’ll make sure to carefully follow any directions you provide.
“We have used Karen a couple of times, she is great! She is very kind and very thorough. She made sure my pups were well taken care of when I was not able to be there.”

“Bella was an amazing dog walker for Romeo! She took great care of him, always walked him on time, and was very responsible. She made sure he was clean and well-fed, going above and beyond to keep him happy. I really appreciate her dedication and care. Highly recommend Bella for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!”

About: Mostly experienced with cats, I've had them all my life. Lots of experience with dogs too, most of my friends had dogs and Ive taken care of them too. I work full time, but I am happy to help whenever Im not working! Usually work weekends and off in the middle of the week. I have a fenced back yard, and a friendly cat that doesn’t mind company. Lots of hiking and parks nearby that I already walk myself.
About: I have been walking dogs for the past five years. I have several clients but the dog I’ve walked the most is a Husky named Dasha and the other is a German Shepard named Sarge. I love to walk and play with dog and make sure they get their exercise and food. I have plenty of time to walk the Dogs. If possible, I would like to work on Monday to Friday. I am OK also to work either Saturday or Sunday. But, I prefer to work on weekdays. I care for pets by calling their name in a loving way, spending time petting them, making sure they are comfortable and their tail is wagging. I also make sure to be playful and speak calmly and pleasantly to the dogs.
“Fernanda and Llana were fantastic and were excellent communicators and took multiple pictures. They far exceeded our expectations as this was our first booking. We will definitely use them again! Our family gives them the highest recommendation!”

“Eli did a great job walking Max. Max gets stressed when I leave. Eli is patient with Max and even helps Max eat when normally he wouldn’t because he’s stressed. Grateful for Eli! Will definitely use Eli again.”


“In the days of people being flaky and irresponsible, what a relief and joy it is to have found Danielle!!! I knew from the initial prompt response from her that she was going to be a rare find!!! I have an 80 lb Pitbull that I pulled from Lancaster Animal Shelter in March. He is a great dog but strong and intimidating looking. I had a friend spending the night but I needed someone to walk him and hang out with him. He had so much fun with Danielle and got exactly the activity he needed! She did alot of enriching activities with him and I SOOOO appreciated the photos and vids and updates of how she left him (ie where the water was with pics, he was out in the house or in the office, etc). She made my international trip so much more relaxing and less stressful knowing he was being well cared for! I have already booked her again and will most certainly continue to use her in the future!!!”

“Moriah is the best! So friendly, flexible, and amazing with our pup. Highly professional and great with communication. You can tell she truly loves animals and is happy to help out. Couldn’t ask for a better dog walker!”


About: Hi! I’ve had dogs all my life and even helped my friend with her dog grooming business! I can also help with that, if needed. I’m currently figuring some things out so I figured I would help the community with their friends and make some extra money on the side! I live in a gated apartment building with a fenced patio. I’ve dog sat before in my own neighborhood and never had a negative experience.

“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!!!”

“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!”

“Sandy did an outstanding job with our 4 month old puppy! We plan to use her again and recommend her to friends and family. We adopted him only 1 week before our trip so I was nervous about leaving him, but Sandy made him feel right at home and he had a great time. Sandy shared lots of updates and photos. We feel so lucky to have found her. Thank you Sandy! :)”

“Holly was absolutely amazing to Zoe! I sent her a pretty long note which definitely wasn’t expecting her to read it all but not only did she read it, she also was pertaining it to Zoe’s stay like with what Zoe is used to which I thought was so nice to see. She also kept us updated daily with photos and videos of all the hikes and activities they did which I absolutely loved! Thank you so much for everything! Will definitely want Zoe to stay again if she’ll have her!”

“Our dogs truly loved spending a week with Dahui while we were on vacation. She was thoughtful and loving to our pets, and she kept us informed regularly of how things were going. We will definitely book this caregiver again!”

“Julia was a fantastic sitter for my baby Kimchi! She sent multiple photos + updates throughout my pets stay, fed her medicine everyday, and her pup Yuki was so gentle and patient with Kimchi. Her place is very secure, so I felt safe having her there. She also takes Kimchi on walks which not all sitters do. And lastly Kimchi has always been an anxious dog who doesn’t acclimate well in new settings, and while she still gets afraid of Julia’s roommates, she felt safe and calm with Julia right off the bat. Would definitely recommend!”
