“Catherine was really sweet with our older lab who was a little nervous and needy and had never stayed at a strangers house before. This was our first time using Rover and it worked out well. Catherine was very easy to get a hold of and communicate with. She has a beautiful big fenced yard and even took Juno for a walk around the neighborhood. Would definitely use her again if we need a sitter in Napa.”
“Obi stayed with Cymantha for a week while I went overseas. During the craziness of Covid travel I felt 100% safe with my baby at her place. He was well cared for and came back happy and healthy. Thank you!”
“Susan was incredible! She was accommodating with our needs and requests. Our dog fell in love right away! Her property was awesome and our dog didn’t seem to want to leave! Thank you Susan, for taking such good care of our pup!”
“Angela was amazing with our dog, Gryffin! This was our first experience with Rover, and she made it all so easy. She shared pictures of Gryf while we were gone, and we could tell he loved staying with her!”
“Was great to find an animal loving team in a time crunch. My dog seemed to enjoy himself, went on plenty of walks in a nearby park. Nathaniel and his parents were very responsive whenever I checked in. Would book again.”
“Jeanette is very knowledgeable about dogs, breeds and their behaviors. I really appreciate that she understand and can deal with the different animals in her care. She also communicated exceptionally well with updates on my pup during the week that he was with her family.”
“Maria was great. She did such an amazing job with my very spoiled Frenchie Charlie. She sent me pics and made me the cutest Valentines day magnet with my fur baby. I have never left my Charlie with anyone aside from family so she helped to ease my anxiety. I highly recommend her!”
“Mackenzie and her family were AMAZING. They took such good care of our pups. Both Lylla and Rocket have separation anxiety issues, and we knew they had been well-loved because they were so calm when we picked them up. We also loved the "Welcome Puppies" chalk drawing that Mackenzie's daughter drew for us. We would absolutely ask them to watch our dogs again!!”
“Mackenzie watched our Dog Cookie for us while we went on a family trip out of town. Mackenzie was kind enough to send pictures of cookie relaxing and having a good time at her house. Cookie was very happy and had a great time with Mackenzie, we will definitely be reaching out to her whenever we have another family trip. Definitely recommend! 5/5 stars!”
“Evan has been so wonderful to meet and have for Radio as a consistent dog sitter. I have left him 2 times when I have had to be away on work trips. I get so many cute pics and Evan does such an amazing job of making sure Radio feels comfortable, safe and cared for. I feel happy to have met him and would recommend him to others!”
“Ciana was absolutely wonderful and took great care of my baby. She also regularly sent me photos and updates so I knew that he was in great hands. I’ll definitely go back to her and would recommend her to anyone.”
“Had a really good experience with Patricia while we were in out of town. She was reliable, easy to communicate with, and took great care of Bo while we were away. We appreciated the updates and knowing she was being looked after. It made traveling a lot less stressful, and we came home to a happy dog. Would definitely use her and her nice family again!”
“William did an amazing job with my fur baby, Amori. My fur baby has a hard time adapting to new environments. William made Amori feel right at home. I needed a pet sitter at the very last minute. I was in a crisis, out of town, and didn’t have a pet sitter for Amori. William agreed to care for her with short notice.”
“Carolyn took care of Nori like it was her own. I appreciate the picture updates and a cute report of how my dog was doing. I can tell Nori had a great time because she didnt want to leave! I would definitely recommend for the future and use again whenever I'm in the area !”
“Boarded our pup Duke for 10 days with Zachary and his family. I received pictures of Duke within 24 hrs and again upon request. Zachary was impressively response to messages which helped ease my daughter's ( Duke is her baby) stress. The family had other dogs onsite and young children so I knew our pup would be entertained. We were even able to extend our trip by a night without any hassle at all!! When we picked up our pup he was very happy and was hugged and loved by one of their sons, which made me happy to know he got the " temporary family "experience we were wanting most of all. Highly recommend Zachary and fmaily and will use as our go to in the future.”
“We were in town for a special occasion and Heather and Caleb were very accommodating to our needs. They were a pleasure to work with. They gave our fur baby the attention she needed. We would not hesitate using them again.”
“I had a great experience with Vanson! He provides a very safe space for drop-offs and has a wonderful, pet-friendly backyard. Vanson has a great attitude and kept me at ease with frequent updates and plenty of photos. Highly recommended!”

“Kelly did a amazing job! I felt very confident that my cats would be well cared for after meeting her, and it was very reassuring to get pictures everyday. She even made friends with my shy cat! I would absolutely have her care for my animals again.”
“Erin has both house sit and done drop-in visits for my kitty! She is so sweet, very responsive and accommodating. You can tell she has a true love for animals. Highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs!!”
“Gabriel was wonderful with our 2 cats. Our cats opened up to him despite them not being big fans of strangers. He was on time for every visit and followed our instructions perfectly. Provided great daily updates. We would definitely reach out to him again the next time we need a sitter.”
“We are so lucky to have found Olivia to take care of our cat! Olivia would send us detailed updates each day and she took great photos too! She even helped cleaned our home at the end. Would definitely ask for Olivia again and highly recommend her to others!”
“Michelle was great! Billie Cat was happy and healthy when I returned. Michelle checked in and sent pix as requested. Initial meet and greet was easy and seamless. 10/10 will use again. Thanks!”
“Katie did a wonderful job taking care of our two kitties. She quickly earned their trust, played with them, sent the cutest pictures and successfully administered pills to one of the cats - which is no easy feat. We are so glad we found her and will hire Katie, without any hesitation whatsoever, for our future trips.”
“Samiah is amazing! She treated our cats with such love and they really enjoyed her company. Samiah went above and beyond to handle any complications that arose and communicated clearly and effectively. I felt so at ease with her watching the animals, I would definitely book her again!”
“Ariel went above and beyond for me and my cat, Mister. Ariel was a great communicator, tried to coax my shy guy out but didn't force him, and kept his food and water fresh. On top of that, she did the cat dishes (rather than leave them for my return, which would have been fine) and took my trash out. I really appreciate Ariel and will book her in the future!”
About: I really do love every kind of cat! I've had cat companions my entire life, and I feel like sometimes they are so soft and so squishy I just can't even stand it. I wouldn't say my cats are trained exactly, but they do let me give them a bath. And most of the time when I call them they do come so I'm calling that a win. I can give the pills and such when that's required, and I'm happy to work with all cats young and old.
“Melissa has been an amazing friend to my 16 year old cat. She is efficient, trustworthy and happily follows any detailed instructions. When I come home, I think my cat misses Melissa!”
“Kaitlyn was great with our two kitties! She was a great communicator and brought up any questions or concerns quickly as needed for our cats greatest wellbeing. She sent adorable photos of our happy cats while we were traveling, as we missed them dearly!”
“This was our first experience with Rover and we hit a home run with Channing. Her updates and photos confirmed Channing took great care of our sweet cat, Scout. Thank you, Channing!”
“Gina was a gem! My cats enjoyed her presence and she made sure to engage and play with them. Followed all specifications and very communicative. Thank you Gina so much for taking care of my fur babies with the same love you’d show your own.”
“Mariah was great! She gave me a heads up when she was headed over to start the visit, cleaned up after my cat made a mess, and then played with him the rest of the visit. Would definitely recommend and will use Mariah again!”
“Giselle was great with our cats and was an excellent communicator. She arrived ontime each day and provided frequent updates which allowed us to relax and enjoy our trip knowing our boys were in good hands!”

“I have never used Rover before and had a last-minute emergency for my shy little rescue, Maya. She was so happy when I picked her up! Sarah and Matt were kind, communicative, and made me feel like my beloved Maya was in the best of hands. Will definitely go back to this happy, dog-friendly home!”
“William is great with Louie! He treated Louie just the way he cares for his own fur babies. He was available on short notice, and sent me pictures of Louie while I was at work. That really put me at ease knowing that Louie is having a great tome.:)”
“Mackenzie was super flexible, communicative and professional. My pup had a great time under her watchful eye. She followed all of my directions to a tee and then some. She went above and beyond to make sure my girl was happy as well as keep me updated on her stay. If you’re looking for someone seasoned to take care of your pets, Mackenzie is your gal!”
“Great spot for my pup to spend the day! Other doggoes to play with, pool time, nice cool home to relax in, and a professional dog trainer on hand! Jake was great and would definitely rebook!”
“Kellie and Nate are so welcoming and have a beautiful dog-friendly home and awesome backyard. Their relaxed energy made me feel so comfortable to have them care for our 6-month old extra large breed Great Pyrenees/Siberian Husky puppy that we adopted just 3 weeks ago for a day while I had a job interview. I highly recommend Kellie and Nate!”
“Evan is fantastic we couldn’t be happier my dog was in love with him running to the front door and jumping on him . I was getting updates and videos and photos every 1-2 hours . Definitely will be using him again thank you so much Evan !!!”
“Steven hosted my dog over for doggy day care when I received a last minute cancellation from another sitter. All worked out great. Steven had prompt communication, understood dog behavior and needs, followed through on my requests on how to care for my dog. Perfect experience, highly recommend! My dog will be back!”
“Robin's doggy daycare was perfect for our 2-year-old Golden Doodle. She provides a safe home environment and supervised play for the dogs. He had not been to a doggy daycare before this, so I was unsure if he would be anxious. But he settled in right away. We will definitely leave him with Robin again.”
“Jeannette and her family are amazing. My dog loves coming to their house. They are gentle and loving, which I appreciate. We've come back several times for boading and daycare.”
“Once again Andrew was amazing with Summer. She was so excited to be there. It works for me cause I get home and she is so tired she is ready for a nape and I don't feel bad that shes been home all day & I'm so tired from work I don't have the energy to play. She has so much fun over Andrews She is good when we get home. Thank you for watching over my Summer well I'm at work Andrew.”
“Just visiting the area and super grateful to have found Jestina so I could attend an event. She loved my energetic boxer mix as if she were her own. I appreciated the updates, pix and video, and also the warm interest she took in my own life too! (Sometimes the dogs get all the attention!) Highly recommend and will use again when in town! Thank you, Jestina!”
“Robert and Sheila were fantastic! They were responsive and easy to work and took great care of our little one, Shelby. Their sweet dog Yoti was patient with our timid and over-attached dog Shelby. Yoti is friendly and welcoming……just like Robert and Sheila. Their home had a beautiful back yard where the dogs can roam together, and Rob is there with them all day while he works. We were fortunate to find them.”
“Emma was wonderful. She took great care of Poppy for the day while we attended the memorial services for our friend in San Francisco. Emma sent photos and a video to let us know everything was going OK. Poppy is shy and can be skittish around new situations and Emma was super accommodating.”
“Kushram and Family are a wonderful find for dog sitting or doggy day care. Give the initial booking request a bit of lead time, as the confirmation that the day/time works may take up to a day to come through. This time I put in a request 9:30pm on a Saturday, and got confirmation Sunday evening. (I suspect requests are processed daily). The initial booking request was the largest gap we experienced in communication, scheduling the meet and greet by messages was easy - they were very responsive and want to ensure you and your pup will be comfortable with their set up and go over any special needs of the dog. Our elder pup Rick was drawn to Kushram and the whole family even on the meet and greet (I think just his wife and adult nephew), as well the drop off day of, and they were able to make him comfortable enough to eat even on a short visit. Given our short booking (only about 3 hrs) we can't really comment on long term pictures/communication during the visit, but I can say I feel pretty happy that I found some place local where I feel comfortable leaving my dog when I need to go somewhere. They also have some experience with some dog special needs, but can help best when they know about it ahead of time. They were not concerned or put off in the slightest by our pups needs (mostly that he's pretty clingy, can get cold easily, and only has 3 teeth and will only eat small pieces of food, and doesn't love hanging out with other dogs), and described other dogs they had watched with similar or more challenging needs such as dog-sitting a blind dog in a new space. Thank you for taking good care of our pup!”
“Heather and Calob are so awesome! I’m so glad to have found them to watch our two pups. They are so flexible, responsive and easy to coordinate with. They were great about sending photos too. And our pups sure loved them. Looking forward many more stays in the future!”
About: I've had multiple pets all my life and seen many into old age, when they need special care. I'm not just looking for the perfect rpretty pet, but I want you to feel confident and at ease with the care and love I will give your furry family member I'm retired so can give full time care to your pet. My yard is large and fully fenced in. the house is pet friendly as well. I am retired so mostly home but do go out occasionally for shopping and other daily activities. I would prefer to crate your dog for my out periods. Also your dogs should be house broken, I will take them out as often as needed for bathroom breaks I will treat all your pets as if they were my own, and hope we can build a long and trusting relationship with each other. If they like pets, cuddles and treats, that's even better!

“Ronald walked my two dogs - one who small and anxious and the other who is medium sized and high energy. He came over to meet them beforehand and they warmed right up. Will definitely ask him to walk them again in the future!”
“I can only say great things about Gabriel! On pretty short notice, Gabriel was able to walk my 2 small dogs for 10 days. He clearly loves dogs & they loved him. He is very reliable & attentive to the dogs needs. I won’t hesitate to hire him again.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was born. We had a lab and a labradoodle, who sadly passed away a few months ago. Now that we have an empty house, I decided to use my experience to help dog parents in need. I have a lot of experience handling horses, so I can take good care of any size dog:) I am currently on summer break, so I have availability. I am a bunny parent and have taken care of her on my own for 5 years. We just lost our dog, but he was my furry best friend for 12 years and I took care of and walked him. I have a large area outdoors for my bunny to play in safely, and she is secured in a hutch inside the play area at night to ensure safely from predators. When it is too hot or too cold, she will come inside the house and be free roam. She is fed unlimited hay, a portion of high quality pellets and a variation of fruits and veggies as treats. She is very healthy and happy and living her best life. I prioritize the health and well being of all animals.
About: I have a genuine love for animals and experience caring for both young pets and senior pets. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique needs, whether it’s extra patience for training young pets or gentle care for older ones. What sets me apart is my reliability, attention to detail during check-ins, and my ability to create a calm and comforting environment for pets while their owners are away. I’ve grown up with pets all my life- cats, dogs, and even birds . My experience within taking care of a pet is well achieved. I currently am working part time at gotts, so i have plenty of time to check in on any pets and take care of their needs. I am completely free on sundays with plenty of time to check in on any pets and give extra time. I will take care of pets as if they were my own. With the same amount of care and attention I prove my pets, it shall be returned. My backyard and front yard are completely boarded with walls. For my clients home, i would treat it with just as much respect as i do to my own home.
“Mariah is a true professional! Thank you Mariah for taking care of my pups— it feels great to know they are in great hands with a person I can trust who knows what she is doing and is in this business for the right reasons.”
“Christiana was absolutely wonderful during her time with Dory. I booked her for a walk and got no less than three pictures and updates during and after the walk. I have never felt more comfortable with my dog in the care of another person. If I could give more than a five star rating, I would have. I cannot wait to use her spectacular services again!”
“Ilse did great with Xena. She was attentive to Xena’s reaction to other dogs . She kept her under control and calm. Xena was happy to see Ilse when she came. She was on time and was needed for a week after I had hip surgery. Good job.”
About: I’ve cared for pets and livestock my entire life, and animals have always been a huge part of my daily life. What sets me apart is that I live on spacious property, giving dogs plenty of room to explore, play, and enjoy a calm environment while they’re away from home. I treat every animal like my own and strive to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable during their stay. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because caring for animals has always been part of my lifestyle. Living on property means I’m consistently outside and active, so dogs get plenty of attention, exercise, potty breaks, and playtime throughout the day — not just scheduled walks. I’m used to maintaining routines for both pets and livestock, so feeding schedules, medications, supervision, and individual care needs are something I take seriously. I enjoy creating a calm, safe environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and low-stress environment where they can feel relaxed and part of the family. Because I live on property, dogs have space to play, explore, and get exercise throughout the day while still being closely supervised. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions from the owner. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to keep their pets comfortable by maintaining their usual routine and environment. I provide dependable care, attention, exercise, feeding, fresh water, cleanup, and lots of affection while also respecting the client’s home and instructions. I understand how important consistency is for animals, and I work to make their time away from their owners as stress-free as possible.
“From the moment we met Peter, we immediately felt at ease. He has a calm, confident energy and quickly tuned in to our boys’ personalities and temperament. Peter asked thoughtful questions and paid attention to the details to make sure he could provide the best care possible. We felt completely comfortable leaving our dogs with him and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
About: I am a person who cares! And I care most when it comes to your pets. My pets are my life and I understand that they are family. As an uber driver, I have a very open schedule and the ability to make frequent stops to check in with babies throughout my day! I would come equipped with a first aid kit and all safety materials. I would assure I had participated in any and all safety trainings available.
“Emma is such a sweet lady, always on time, very responsible and gave us plenty of updates both photos, videos and texts! Very responsive and easy to talk to. And my dog loved her, she was clearly very excited every morning when it came to the scheduled time we arranged for Emma to pick her Ik and take her in her walk. Dogs don’t lie and my dog was ecstatic to see Emma. We could not have done our trip without her, we’re very grateful and I think we’re going to have to schedule with her more regularly so my dog doesn’t get depressed. If you need someone you can count on to take care of your dog (big or small, my dog is a 65 lbs very active husky), be responsive and always on time - Emma is your person. Book with her before she’s all booked up. It’s not easy finding people you can trust with your pets so I’m truly grateful we found Emma. Thank you!!!!”
