“Zac was awesome! I like that he took a personal interest in Spot's well being during his stay at Zac's home.....I highly recommend Zac for any Rover.com customer!!”
“Cody was very good with my dog. He sent pics and kept me updated on how Toby was doing. They played fetch and tug-a-war. I would highly recommend Cody to care for your pet! A +!”
“Briana was very kind! Gave lots of updates and took great care of my pup and worked with him until he felt comfortable especially since he can be nervous when meeting new people. Will definitely be back!”
“Irina was communicative throughout the entire process. I had to make a last minute change and include my senior pug for boarding and she was responsive and helpful. My senior pug has to take medication twice daily and Irina made sure to be on top of it. My pugs looked happy and well taken care of while I was gone. Irina sent me videos and pictures of my pugs which made me feel comfortable and it was good to see their little tails wagging while I was gone. Thank you Irina.”
“Rachel & Jason were friendly, responsive, great communicators, and definitely dog lovers. I received daily pictures of my dog when I was away and didn't have any concerns or issues. I will definitely use them again as our dogsitter.”
“Ersai was so sweet to our fur baby. We appreciate how she cared for him knowing he has anxiety . We loved that you communicated throughout the day on how he was doing and letting us know everything. We are happy he was cared for so well while we’re gone . Thank you again!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Amazing Experience!!! I Couldn’t Have Asked for Better Care Leaving Tonka for the first time was honestly nerve racking, but Naiomie made the entire experience stress free from day one. She sent me updates, photos, and videos throughout every single day, so I never had to wonder how he was doing. It quickly became obvious that she wasn’t just watching him, she genuinely cared about him. She took the time to learn his personality, celebrate his milestones, and even pointed out little behaviors that helped me become a better dog owner. She introduced him to her dogs slowly and safely, and before long they were playing together like old friends. Seeing my puppy build confidence, socialize appropriately, and genuinely enjoy himself meant the world to me. She even noticed that Tonka learned to ring the bell when he needed to go outside and made sure to reinforce that behavior. What impressed me most was her attention to detail. She kept his bedding clean, cleaned his eyes daily, monitored his potty habits, let me know about behaviors that needed training, and adapted her routine to fit what worked best for him. She didn’t just tell me everything was perfect, she gave me honest updates and thoughtful observations, which I really appreciated. By the end of his stay, it honestly seemed like Tonka had become part of the family. She told me she was sad to see him leave, and I could tell the feeling was mutual. As an owner, that’s incredibly reassuring. If you’re looking for someone who will love your dog like they’re her own, communicate consistently, and provide exceptional care, I recommend Naiomie without hesitation. Tonka will absolutely be staying with her again. Thank you, Naiomie, for taking such incredible care of my boy. You gave me complete peace of mind, and that’s priceless. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 Stars!!! Highly recommended!!!”
“Catherine and Ernie took great care of Max. Both were very communicative before and during his stay. They were very kind and clearly love dogs. I highly recommend both!”
“Regina’s did a great job taking care of Kobe. She sent me pictures and videos almost every day, and she even dropped him off at another dog sitter for me when I wasn't able to since I was out of town for two weeks.”
“Carrie was "EXCELLENT"! She made us feel at ease when we dropped off Bella. She was very sweet and kind. She gave us a very good vibe and we felt confident our Bella was going to be okay with her. She sent us pics and videos of Bella while was under her care and we could see Bella being herself and that gave us peace of mind. We will definitely will be returning customers in the future. We were extremely satisfied with her service. Thank you! Eva”
“Second time my dog Olivia has been in Bobby’s care. Seems like she is very chirpy and comfortable. I have a feeling she is happy there :) Asked Bobby to send me a few photos and updates while I was away and he responded immediately.”
“This was Lilo’s third stay at Marilee’s place! Ever since we found her, we have not taken Lilo anywhere else to petsit or board! We just know that Lilo is well cared for and loved when she stays over with Marilee. We love seeing all the picture updates Marilee sends us, not only does Lilo look like she’s having a good time, but it puts us at ease!”
“Finding a trustworthy sitter for my beloved furry friend is a daunting task, but Kelli exceeded all expectations! I am forever grateful for the exceptional care she provided to Trouve during his two-week stay. Her care and devotion have made a significant impact on his well-being, and it shows in his happy and healthy demeanor. Thank you so much, Kelli.”
“Beau had an amazing time at Annie’s! Annie was very accommodating and sent updates multiple times a day which we really appreciate. Her level of professionalism is indicative of the fact that she is a business owner. Additionally, she sent Beau home with a goodie bag! I definitely recommend and Beau will be back :).”
“My pets came back from their 3 night vacation with Lori healthy and happy! Their stay was seamless. I received information about their care in a timely fashion and I felt as though they were in the next best place to home. Thank you Lori”
“Geo was a fabulous dog sitter. We have a 3 year old lab who is very energetic and a little shy when she meets people and other dogs at first. Our pup had a wonderful time with Geo and her other dogs staying with her. Geo sent me pictures, videos and messages throughout our trip which I greatly appreciated. I will definitely ask Geo to babysit my dog whenever I have to go out of town again. If I could give you 10 stars, I would!!!”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience with Blaze! From the moment I dropped off my dog, I knew she was in loving, capable hands. She treated my pup like family, going above and beyond to ensure she was not only cared for, but pampered — like a true spa treatment! What really stood out was her attentiveness and care. She helped identify the root cause of a skin irritation my dog had been struggling with, which no one else had caught. Thanks to her insight and care, my dog came home not only happy and relaxed but also with a shiny, clean coat and noticeably healthier skin. She sent me daily photos and updates, which truly gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was such a relief knowing my dog was safe, loved, and well cared for. I’m beyond grateful we found Blaze!”

“Loved booking with Cassie! Had a chance to do a meet & greet and see where Bobo would be staying for a couple days. She sent multiple pictures of Bobo every day he was there and I was so glad to hear her and her family loved taking care of Bobo 😊”
“Jessica was so friendly, kind, and passionate about animals. She went above and beyond our expectations. For example, she took the trash out on the last check in visit so that we would come home to a clean-smelling house. She wrote us amazing summaries of her visits with our kitty - reading them filled me with joy and made me feel better about being away from our pet. She made toys for our cat out of paper, which helped us discover Zelda’s love of paper balls! We will reach out to Jessica for all of our future pet needs.”
“Tatiyana was fabulous. We were worried that our Desmond was going to give her a hard time but it turned out that he ended up loving his walk with Tatiyana. Definitely will hire her again!”
“Victoria did everything we asked for and stayed in contact when she had questions or concerns. She was consistent when coming to our house and our cats took an immediate liking to her. I would definitely recommend her to take care of your animals.”
“Firstly, Pedro was very quick with his response and confirmation of availability. I had to leave Sacramento due to a family issue and he confirmed the appointment even though I requested it at the last minute. He followed all the instructions I left written on my door. My dog eats a natural diet along with kibble, and he prepared everything as I asked. He took her to potty in the correct area and left everything clean.”
“Julie is excellent! She has a wealth of experiences with pets, was able to administer needed meds, and stayed in communication with me as to how my chronically ill cat was doing during a necessary trip.”
“You can tell Reginay loves animals. She is very patient and works with your pet to make sure they are comfortable. Very communicative and will send pictures and videos throughout the day. Toni loves his stays there. 🥰”
“We have a feisty old kitty who is very hard to medicate. Andee has been more successful with medicating her than any other pet sitter we have tried! We are very grateful for Andee’s excellent animal care skills.”
“Alayna was so gentle and patient with our girl when she was a nervous pup at the start of her visit. She is super responsive and communicative, and her experience with rescues shows. We definitely recommend her!”
“Jazmin was a great pet sitter for my baby girls while I was away on a last minute business trip! She was super attentive and had excellent communication when she came to visit. Definitely recommend booking if you need someone to swing by for a few days!”
“Holly took the best care of my two cats who both require meds in the mornings and evenings. She won over their hearts and trust so that insulin injections, pills and syringe meds all went well, with lots of snuggles and playtime. Thank you so much, Holly! 🐾🐾”
“5/5 Stars! I am absolutely thrilled with the exceptional care Hillary and her husband provided to my beloved dog, Taz! From the moment I dropped Taz off, I knew I was leaving him in capable and compassionate hands. Despite a few unexpected mishaps, including Taz's Houdini-like escape into a prepared crate in the house, Hillary and her husband handled the situation with professionalism and calm. They ensured Taz was safe, happy, and fed on time, giving me complete peace of mind while I was away. What truly sets Hillary and her husband apart, however, is the genuine love and care they show to the dogs in their charge. It's clear they have a deep passion for animals and take the time to understand each dog's unique personality and needs. I highly recommend Hillary and her husband to anyone seeking top-notch pet care. They are trustworthy, reliable, and truly exceptional in every way. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of Taz – I'm forever grateful!”
“Amy was great! We felt so reassured that our kitty was getting the attention she needed while we were gone. I appreciated the daily photo updates and could tell she took great care of our girl.”
“Holly did a great job looking after my cat! She was communicative, thorough, and took wonderful pictures. He clearly enjoyed his time with her and warmed up very quickly! When I need a sitter in future she will be at the top of the list.”
“Patrick did a great job taking care of our dog and our cat for drop-in visits while we were away. He was kind and attentive. I would definitely use his services again and recommend him to others.”

“Dobi had a good day and Brianna sent multiple pics throughout the day. I didn't get any updates about his nap time or eating. Brianna did accept us last minute so she is very accommodating. Will definitely try her services again and highly recommend to others.”
“June is the best! Bella spent the day with June and her dog Ceaser. Bella is a special needs dog and June knew just how to work with her to make her feel comfortable. June made sure to keep me posted and updated on Bella throughout her stay. She sent lots of pictures so I could see how she was doing. Her dog Ceaser was great with Bella too. Bella has become very attached to June. She also loves Ceaser, her new gentle giant friend. I strongly recommend June if you’re looking for a very responsible caring sitter for your pup. I know Bella is in good hands with June, and will be using her as our sitter in the future.”
“My puppy came back healthy and tuckered out from playing with Denise’s pups! She sent me updates several times and was very responsive. Will definitely leave my little guy with her again!”
“Johnna took such great care of Luna. I felt completely comfortable knowing she was in good hands. We received pictures and updates that kept us feeling confident in her care. Thank you Johnna!”
“Reginay has been SOOO unbelievably accommodating with my crazy schedule; she lets me work out unusual drop off/pick up times, lets me schedule last minute whenever I need it (when she’s open), and is just incredibly communicative. My dog, Penny, just loves her. She recognizes Reginay’s place when we pull up and is physically and audibly thrilled to see her every time!”
“Annie took care of our puppy Finn on Thanksgiving when we were visiting our out of town family. She sent consistent updates and it was obvious Finn had a great time! Would definitely use her again if we are ever in town 🥰”
“Kelli is so sweet and was so caring not only to my puppy, but to me and my partner as well. My puppy can be kind of annoying and dramatic (like all puppies can be) and she was so patient. She kept us updated with pictures throughout the long day. I usually work remotely, but I find so much comfort knowing that Kelli is nearby if I am away from the house for longer than 4 hours. Would highly recommend.”
“Ingrid watched our sweet Ruby last minute so my husband and I can spend the day together. Ruby returned home so happy and bummed to say bye to her new friends. We hope she’ll watch Ruby again.”
“So lucky to have found Justin! I was in Sacramento for a work thing and had to find a sitter last-minute for my senior pup. Justin went out of his way to accommodate my schedule and was so patient with my dog. I felt like he really listened to my care instructions and is obvious he loves dogs. Truly appreciate him and wish we lived nearby so he could be our regular sitter!”
“We are so grateful Derek, Leslie and their family help look after our sweet fur babies when we are away. The Pitadors are always excited when they know they are going to these wonderful Rover sitter’s home and always come back to our home tuckered out from all the play, love and attention they’ve gotten!”
“We dropped off our dog at Deborah's house for dog sitting. Our dog really likes Deborah. She is kind and patient and you can tell she really likes animals. We were updated regularly on how our dog was doing with messages and pictures. It made us feel like she was in good hands. We will definitely book Deborah for more sitting soon!”

“Edwin is polite, flexible, dependable and accommodating. Oso enjoyed his walks with him and we hope we can book more walks in the future. We truly recommend Edwin to care for your dog. Oso loved Edwin from the minute he stepped in our home. Thank you Edwin!”
“My father had a stroke and had to go to the ER but unfortunately left his dog in the apt. Kayla was incredibly accommodating in getting access to the dog and making sure it was properly walked and fed. She promptly communicates all details and issues. Thank you so much!!”
“Oreo and I so appreciate Amanda and Hector’s help during these beginning weeks of the new school year! I know Oreo looks forward to going on his lunch potty breaks with Hector where he can sniff to his heart’s content. 🐕 💜 🥰 We truly appreciate Hector’s flexibility when he comes a bit earlier some days due to the hotter weather or Oreo’s needs. We will definitely be requesting Amanda & Hector again!”
“We felt very comfortable with Marina taking our lil' Bruno on a walk. It's clear that she loves dogs! Looking forward to more walks, and some boarding days too! Thank you!”
About: As someone who grew up with dogs, both small and large, I've learned what it takes to make sure the puppies are well cared for, between giving them the right food, making sure they go on walks, and grooming. Our pets are our best friends and so we should take the greatest care of them, and I'm willing to do that for all animals alike. I'm currently a part time worker both on weekends and weekdays and have lots of time to dedicate to taking care of pets. The only time I would not be able to offer my services is dueing weekends. In my home, I have a fenced yard to allow for our big huskies to have space to play and run, offering them toys that I know would keep them entertained. I also make sure to clean my dogs and ensure they eat healthily.
“My puppy loves his walks but he also loves playing with other dogs. Pedro took him to the dog park to give him a chance to really play and run off his energy. Pedro is so good about looking for ways to help dogs enjoy their outings. I highly recommend him.”
About: I've been around and help take care of dogs since I can remember. I am currently taking care of my own furry 4 legged friend I am currently unemployed at the moment so I have plenty of free time on my hands to take your furry friend to the park or on longer walks I have a fenced in back yard (with a pool) and a dog they can play with. I am able to crate them if need be as well
“Brandon did an excellent job with poncho making sure he got his pee breaks and avoiding other dogs . He kept poncho interested despite poncho being tired and wanting to come back home .”
“Aicha was really great with our very senior dog. she got him out and walking and he seemed very happy to be in her company. I'm glad she was free to take care of him while we were at work.”
“Jarrod did a great job walking my Alaskan Malamutes. He was an attentive and active listener, learning their commands and walking style. He offered positive feedback on the walking experience. Both dogs came back happy and relaxed. I look forward to continuing to work with Jarrod.”
About: A dog’s trust is earned, and I’ve had many experiences with dogs of various sizes, temperaments and ages. I volunteer at an animal shelter, which has allowed me to pick up on behaviors and quirks, and improved my ability to adapt to anything unpredictable. Safety and comfortability is my utmost priority, but that doesn’t mean I won’t try my hardest to make sure your dog is having fun! I am a uni student, so my free time may vary depending on the day. However I am pretty flexible with time when I’m not commuting or in class, as school is my biggest obligation at the moment. I am easy to reach so I can also send more updates when there’s changes in my schedule. I value safety and comfortability as I believe pets should be regarded on the same level as children. Pets are a lifelong commitment and responsibility, without safety, they can’t feel comfortable. I truly believe animals are the happiest when they feel safe. I currently have a cat who stays indoors but is given the opportunity to go outdoors when the weather is nice (under supervision). She has plenty of toys to keep her mind stimulated, places to hide if she feels overwhelmed, and comfy areas for her to snooze in.
About: I am 19 years old doing this so I can make some extra money on the side and currently take care of my older brother, who has autism, which has taught me how to remain composed, aware, and reliable in all situations. Those skills are easily applied to pet care, particularly with nervous, timid, or sensitive animals. For example, my own dog has depression anxiety which I make sure to tend to quickly! I can easily fit time with your lovely pets into my daily schedule. I'm free any time after 11AM because I get my brother on the bus at around nine in the morning. Since I'm still learning how to drive, I typically take the bus, train, or Uber to get around. The only thing I know is that I might have to wait until about 5 PM for my mom to return if she works overtime on a Friday, but that rarely ever happens. There is a chance that my schedule can improve so make sure to keep an eye out! I treat every pet under my care as if they were a member of my own family. Making them feel secure, understood, and loved is always my top priority. By feeding them on time, taking them for walks or play, and making sure they receive lots of attention and are comfortable, I try to keep things as simple as possible. I make sure they have everything they require, keep their area neat, and regularly change their water. To reassure the owner that their pet is happy, safe and in good care, I also provide updates and pictures
“I don’t know what we’d do without Hans! Probably never be able to leave town again! He’s wonderful with our leash reactive anxious mess, and we came home to a dog who heeled much better than when we left!”
About: Hello! My name is Naiomie, and I'm excited to offer my services as a dog sitter on Rover. As a lifelong animal lover and proud dog owner, I understand just how important it is to ensure your furry family members receive the love, care, and attention they deserve while you're away. As your dog sitter, you can rest assured that your pup will receive exceptional care, love, and attention tailored just for them. As a fur mom, I understand the importance of feeling confident in your dog sitter. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friend! My current role follows a hybrid model and can be flexible with advanced notice. Between my schedule and my husband working remotely; your pup gets double the love and round the-clock-care! I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I have a beautiful park outside my home to take your pup on walks and get active.

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience with Blaze! From the moment I dropped off my dog, I knew she was in loving, capable hands.

“Our dogs were in great hands with Khyli! She was flexible with our last minute booking and made it very clear from early on that she had our pups' best interest in mind.

“Pranavi was super sweet and took very well of Tank, she kept me updated with pictures throughout his stay. Definitely will be rebooking with her for our next visit. Thank you again!”
“Kirsten was great!! She was kind and communicative by sending me pics/vids with updates and was very reassuring as it was my first time having my boy away from home. I would definitely trust her to watch him again, 10/10”
“Our dogs had an amazing stay with this daughter and mom duo. They gave us daily updates and we can tell they loved our dogs like their own. They had a nice yard and space for the dogs to go out and play in! Even with the yard space they still took them on walks and played ball with them. We will definitely book with them again in the future!”
“Achara is the best. Hudson has spent several long weekends with her now and he is more excited to see her and her family at drop off than to see us at pick up! A great sign that he feels right at home there. Achara is always really easy to communicate with, sending photos and updates throughout his stay - in fact most recently she helped us coordinate a last minute pickup as we were heading to the hospital to have a baby! Couldn’t recommend her highly enough as a loving home for our fur baby when we’re away.”
“As a sitter myself, I really value someone who’s communicative, kind, and understanding, and Johnna is all of that and more. My dog is a little eccentric, and she was incredibly patient and attentive in learning her quirks, making sure her needs were met, and keeping us updated along the way. We wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again and truly appreciate her so much.”
