“Linda took amazing care of our senior dog, who has medical needs and doesn’t warm up to just anyone—but she absolutely loved Linda. She made sure she was safe, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. We got regular updates and pictures, which gave us total peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. You can tell Linda truly cares, and we’ll definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”

We couldn't be happier with Savanah.”

“Another amazing trip because of Shelby and Dalton taking care of our fur babies. We never have to worry because they take extra care of our cats. They are so scared of everyone and they were holding our little girl before the trips end!”
About: Family and friends have entrusted me to watch their pets as I have grown up with them myself. We have a dog and cat at home, both of whom are my top priority. I enjoy walking, playing, and most importantly, giving them the attention they so much deserve. Because I am a college student, breaks between classes make pet-sitting and walking convenient. I am also available during scheduled holiday breaks and in the summer. At your home, I am flexible with your pet’s needs. Whether outside or in, I can be your dog’s partner in crime (while safety comes first) and keep them company.
“Annalisa was great with my sweet Little Kitty! I was able to book on short notice and Annalisa offered to meet beforehand which I thought was nice (especially since I didn’t have to bring it up!) When we met she was very thorough with what was needed and ran everything back to me so I knew she understood (again, she did this all on her own). My Kitty is normally very shy when others watch her but she was super comfortable with Annalisa. I will definitely be using her again for my cat sitting needs!”
About: I'm very accustomed to all kinds of dogs! From pups to elderly dogs, small to large I'm the right guy for the job. I've raised all 3 of my dogs from puppies along with helping friends with theirs. I have tons of experience in cleaning and keeping them busy so I am more then happy to help with watching pups! I also have experience with elderly dogs that require medical treatment, as long as I get a detailed explanation on the steps to help I'll be able to follow them perfectly. I also live with very large dogs so I have all the experience with how to handle them no problem. I'm currently on summer break so I have plenty of time to look over your pets! I am very willing to work weekends, weekdays, and holidays. I have 2 very friendly dogs while my third is pretty territorial so while I can make sure your dogs are safe and acclimate them to the others, I feel it would be best to stay at your house.
“Michelle was amazing! She was super attentive and clearly cared so much about my pets. She kept me updated and sent the cutest pictures, which made me feel really comfortable while I was away. I could tell my babies were well taken care of and happy. I would definitely hire her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter :)”
About: I’ve grown up with cats my entire life and currently have two of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone patient, attentive, and trustworthy caring for them. I’m comfortable with different cat personalities, from social and playful to shy and independent, and I always make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away. Because I truly love animals, I pay close attention to each pet’s unique habits, comfort levels, and routines.
About: I have three cats of my own (all successfully introduced as adults!) and am highly attuned to the body language, needs, and desires of cats. I have taken care of cats of all kinds and all ages, for friends and family, and would love the opportunity to care for yours. I am also an artist and will happily gift you a drawing of your cat as part of my care :)
“Kaitlyn was awesome. So flexible, and she had great communication. I also messed up on something and she was super understanding. Will definitely rebook with her on our next trip.”
“Loren was awesome. She was reliable and trustworthy and you can tell she takes pride in her work. As a first timer on Rover she really put me at ease and we'll definitely contact her again for future drop ins to care for our two "Kitten Bros", Oreo and Hershey!!”
“I can't leave a review fast enough! Mariela just completed a round of drop in visits for our cat Dragonfly, and she was so professional and thorough. Mariela dedicated her visits making sure Dragonfly took her medicine, was fed, loved, kept cool with the ac turned on during the daytime high heat, and her litterbox clean. Mariela's check ins and pictures were comforting, and it was excellent to know that there was someone responsible taking care of our precious family member while we were away.”

“They are amazing as always! Our pup knows exactly where he’s at once we pull up and can’t wait to play with them. They pay so much attention and put a lot of care into each stay! Highly recommend!”
“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! 🐶 ❤️🫶🏻”
“I can tell our pup Mochi had a great time with Christina and her fiance, They took him out on a few walks, and gave him lots of attention! Great communication and sent us lots of pictures!”
“Madison & Moses are awesome! So easy to communicate with and both have a great, calm energy that was perfect for helping my shy, anxious, rescue pittie feel right at home. It’s clear they’re both well-versed in dog behavior and I appreciate that they met my dog right where she was at. They had no issues giving her the time, space and patience needed to open up in her own time - it made all the difference. Thankful to have found them!”
“Shelby and Dalton are the best! They are so responsive and accommodating!! Literally lifesavers, I work really long hours and my husband, who usually watches our dog during the day, had to travel for work last minute. Shelby and Dalton agreed to watch my pup on one of my long days and were so understanding and flexible when I had to pick her up later in the evening - truly I don’t know what I would’ve done without them! They treated her as if she were their own and she LOVED playing with their sweet pup and cuddling with one of the cats, and I got lots of updates and pictures throughout the day. I couldn’t recommend them enough, I will definitely be taking her back to hangout and play with her new best friends!”
About: Growing up I have always had dogs on the property and consider them part of the family. I believe a well trained dog is loved by its owner. I am an animal lover who want to help those who have a hard time with placement. I enjoy spending time with other people's pets because I am unable to have one for myself at this time. I am currently retired so I have time to spend with them daily. I can take them to parks, beach, lakes, etc. Depends on breed and how active they are. I have aquariums, reptiles and my extended family has dogs that I am frequently around. I have had exotic, elderly, injured and sick pets in my care. I foster for the Humane Society periodically and adjust my home according to the pets needs.
About: Animals always gravitate towards me. I love how animals are like children. So innocent and sweet. I would love to help out busy families by walking or sitting for your dog. I am reliable and I overly communicate. I love taking videos and pictures of your pet and sending them to you and your loved ones . I am a mom of two girls. I have a flexible schedule and I’m willing to do whatever’s necessary to make sure your pet is taken care of. I’m a hair stylist on weekends and I love when people bring their dogs to their appointments. Rover is great way for me to play with animals, get some exercise, and make some extra income. Just message me 😊 I make sure the dog goes outside to use the bathroom . Make sure the food and water bowl is always fresh and full. Engage and play with your pet. Chill, lay down, and watch tv together. I absolutely love playing tug of war with dogs so make sure to pack that toy in their overnight bag LOL. If I were to come to your house I would let you know exactly when I enter and when I leave and give you updates on your pet .
About: **Professional Animal Care Experience You Can Trust** As a zookeeper at the world-famous San Diego Zoo, I've dedicated my career to understanding and caring for animals of all sizes and temperaments. My professional experience includes working with everything from delicate songbirds to massive rhinos, giving me unique insights into animal behavior, health, and wellness that I bring to every pet care situation. **Lifelong Animal Lover** Animals have been my passion since childhood. Throughout my life, I've been the proud caretaker of a diverse family of pets including dogs, cats, birds, lizards, and horses. This hands-on experience with domestic animals, combined with my professional work with exotic species like monkeys, giraffes, and rhinos has taught me to read animal body language, recognize stress signals, and adapt my approach to each pet's individual personality and needs. **Your Pet's Home Away From Home** My setup is perfect for your furry family members. I have a securely fenced yard where dogs can safely play and exercise, along with two friendly, well-socialized dogs who love making new friends (with proper introductions, of course). Your pet will have lots of company- my husband works from home full-time, and I work part-time, ensuring there's almost always someone here to provide attention, care, and companionship. **Why Choose Me?** - Professional animal care background with exotic and domestic species - Experienced in reading animal behavior and providing individualized care - Safe, secure environment with proper facilities - Nearly constant supervision and companionship - Genuine love and respect for all animals I understand that leaving your beloved pet with someone new can be nerve-wracking. My goal is to provide the same level of professional, compassionate care I've given to animals throughout my career, ensuring your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you're away. I work part time as a zookeeper at San Diego Zoo, I have all day Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays available as well as afternoons/evenings the rest of the week after 3pm. I have two friendly small dogs and live in a moderate sized house with a large fenced backyard. I can come to your house as well for check ins and walks.
“Bailey did a fantastic job with my Selena. She made my pup feel comfortable on her introduction to where she would be staying while I was at work and gave her plenty of play time. I received updates through the day which helped keep my mind and ease. Thank you for doing an amazing job with my girl.”
About: I am a pediatric physical therapist by day and aspiring stay at home dog mom all the time. I have two little furry monsters of my own, a rescue tripod and a pointer mix. I take them all over hiking, to the beach, to the park, and they would love the company of your little furry friends too! My dogs get free range of my house and yard when I’m home and a large open living area when I’m gone. I’ve had dogs all my life and love all of them, big or small. I’ve taught my dogs some tricks and continually work on reward based training for better behavior and obedience if you are interested in that during my time with your pup! Someone is usually home or in and out every day. We wake up early for breakfast and to play and go on walks. On weekends when we are home all day we like to go on adventures and the dogs have free reign of the yard all day, but we can also keep yours more contained if they are a flight risk! I have a fenced yard to play outside and we will go on walks in the neighborhood. My dogs like to meet new friends. At my house they are allowed on the furniture

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

“This was my first time booking a sitter but Charlie and Shanna made everything so easy! Kona has separation anxiety so it’s always hard having her stay with other people but they took the absolute best care! They sent frequent updates and photos about her day and gave extra care to help out with wiping and spraying down her paws for her allergies! Kona loves staying with them and they will absolutely be my first call the second I need to have anyone look after my dog again. Thank you so much!!”

“Alexis walked my dogs twice on short notice and did a wonderful job! Her updates included the cutest pictures I instantly shared with everyone and Poppy and Snoopy looked super happy! I would definitely use her again!”
“My family and I highly recommend Alexis and Adam as dog walkers! They walked my two German Shepherd mixes early in the morning for 16 consecutive days for an hour each while we were on vacation. Always on time, always submitting report cards with photos and the route they walked. On top of that, my dogs, who are rescues with shyness or aggression toward strangers AND severe dog reactivity on walks, LOVED Lex and Adam! As a professional dog trainer and walker myself, I’m extremely careful with people who interact with my dogs, and Lex and Adam exceeded my expectations! It’s clear to me that they take caring for their clients’ dogs seriously and both are extremely nice and personable. Thank you Lex and Adam!!”

About: I’ve had hands-on experience with animals my entire life, beginning with growing up surrounded by pets and later adopting my own dog at just 11 years old. From a young age, I’ve been pet sitting throughout my neighborhood, caring for animals of different personalities, routines, and needs. Over the years, this experience has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to make pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away.

About: I have simply grown up and cared for my childhood pets all my life, and I’m a happy owner of my own mixed lab. My best and loyal friend. I’m a full time mechanic, but would love to walk some great fury friends at 5pm daily. Weekends anytime! It’s better to walk dogs than to scroll on my phone, plus a lot funner to meet new fury friends. My own pride and joy is extremely spoiled he has fresh food made for him daily. He is something else! This dog has his own socks, that he loves playing with. Had to get him his own pair of kids socks, so that he wouldn’t steal ours!
About: I am a dog-mom who loves caring for pets like they’re my own. I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and sticking to their normal routine. I also have experience with senior dogs and can give supplements or medications when needed. Additionally, I have experience with puppies too since I raised my fur baby since she was only 8 weeks old. I work part time, so I have several days off during the week to focus on pet care. I enjoy making animals part of my daily routine and giving them the time, attention, and care they deserve. Safety and comfort are important to me. I live in a condo with a balcony, so pets get regular supervised walks since there’s no yard. I do have a baby at home, so I’m very mindful about keeping the environment gentle, clean, and well supervised. In a client’s home, I follow your routine and make sure your pet feels safe and cared for.

“Terri is a true animal lover. She cared for my dog Lucy over the weekend. She took Lucy for plenty of walks and even took her to the lake a couple times. Baked her some dog treats and even sent her home with a batch. Plenty of pictures. We are very pleased.”
“Rusty loved being with Madison and Moses ! they did a really good job at communicating with us and sending us photos of him during his stay. he made lots of friends! will definitely book again!”
“Taylor and Andrew took great care of our dogs. They sent plenty of pictures and updates about how they were doing, which I really appreciated. I would definitely recommend them to anyone in need of a reliable sitter!”
“Thank you so much! You guys are the only people I really trust completely with my Goosey Girl when we are out of town. It’s worth the drive when I remember that the first time I picked her up there she wanted to go back inside your house instead of in the car haha thank you thank you”
“We had Whitney take care of our pup for five days while we were out of town. I really liked that she took time out of her day to do a meet and greet first to make sure it was a good fit. She's super prompt and professional with her communications and sent some great photos of our dog Dory so I felt she was happy and loved while we were gone : ) I would definitely take Dory back for dog sitting to Whitney in the future!!”
“While I was away, I received regular updates, photos, and messages that showed how happy and well cared my dogs were. It was obvious that my dogs felt comfortable and loved. When I returned, my dogs were relaxed, healthy, and clearly had been in great hands. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and truly passionate about animals, Ashley is the perfect choice. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Bailey was super attentive to my diabetic old man , she sent constant updates and pictures, when my older dog didn’t feel well she handled the situation calmly with compassion and care. Definitely recommend!”
“Savanah is great with my dog and very reliable. I have no concerns leaving my dog (Kate) with Savanah for a night or even multiple nights. Always sends pictures and videos and takes Kate in adventures out of the house. We have a high energy dog (Malinois) and Savanah is very good about exercising her. We couldn't be happier with Savanah.”
“Mark and his son were really awesome with our dog, Thor. We booked a 10 day stay, and Mark provided consistent updates on how Thor was doing. They walked him regularly and played with him often, and they have a great home with a back yard Thor could enjoy. I felt comfortable and confident leaving my fur baby with them!”
“So great! Jess was welcoming, patient, and obviously has such good experience with dogs. Her communication was timely and consistent, and she cared for our puppy like one of her own. Additionally, her fur baby, Stroopy, was such a wonderful playmate! Looking forward to more family getaways with the knowledge that our pup will be comfortable and loved. Thank you!”
“Ami and her son were very patient with our semi-neurotic dog, and with our scheduling! She knows and understands dog behavior - we felt like Gabriel was in good hands.”
“Callie had a great time with Charles and his daughter over the Thanksgiving holiday (6 nights). Charles sent cute pictures and updated me on their adventures. I will be using his services again and highly recommend!”
“Christina was great with Punkin! As this was my first time leaving my sweet "old girl" with a sitter, I was a little apprehensive. I set up a meet & greet with Christina and in just a few minutes I could tell that Punkin was going to be well taken care of. She made herself comfy on the couch and was already getting the cuddling that she loves. Christina was great about sending pictures often of Punkin so I could see how well she was doing so I wouldn't worry. There were pictures of her playing tug-o-war with her tail wagging (it was just a blur in the picture LOL) and sleeping in her favorite "belly up" position, and out on walks. It was a great experience for both Punkin and me - I will definitely book with Christina again in the future!”
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!
“WOW !! This is our first experience using Rover and Hana was the perfect fit for Beau, our 7 month old puppy. She kept us posted with videos of him playing with the other dogs she was sitting, sometimes twice a day and we even did a Zoom call so the grandkids in San Antonio could see him. Thanks Hana we will be booking soon for another trip in October. Boris and Marie p.s. - Should be 5.5 - since she went the extra mile.”
“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.”
“Emma did an amazing job accommodating my dog's needs. He's not the best with strangers, but she took on his care for me while I traveled for a few days. She allowed me to do multiple meet and greets with her and my dog, as well as a half day of daycare leading up to the trip! She kept me posted about how his days went and was very open and honest about how he did, which I truly appreciated. Thank you so much Emma!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! My dogs were genuinely happy and comfortable the entire time they were there. I received regular updates, photos, and great communication everything you could hope for when leaving your pets in someone else’s care. It gave me total peace of mind, and I’m so grateful. Highly recommend!”
