“Thanks Mel for taking care of Gigi❤️ Gigi gets super depressed when we leave her, but Mel was so kind. Gigi likes to have lots of alone time and Mel accommodated to her needs. I appreciate you Mel ❤️”
“Arianna took wonderful care of our pup on short notice. She sent us adorable pictures and kept us in the loop (: we are so grateful for her help and will absolutely be reaching out to her in the future!”
“We went out of town to visit family for Christmas. The concerned feeling I normally get each time I think about my dog at home without us is immediately replaced with a nod and smile as I remember ‘she’s with Sandra and Bruce, she probably won’t want to come home, she loves it there so much’. We get complete peace of mind when Gracie is with Sandra.”
“Thank you for having Ellie Carola! Carola was great with our dog Ellie. She’s very knowledgeable and cares a lot about dogs. Her house and yard is spacious and the dogs have lots of space to run around. She also sent us updates and photos which we appreciate!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I am so pleased to have found Louie! I am so grateful that I was able to take my family vacation and be at peace with my dog being well taken care of. I especially appreciate the photos and updates I received. Thanks so much Louie and Nadine!”
“Tania is both flexible and great! She stepped in when a prescheduled sitter proved to be unreliable. She took great care of Tobi and sent frequent photos/updates. She communicates well and was very helpful when scheduling drop and pick up. Highly recommended!”
“Elizabeth did a great job taking care of my cat and keeping me informed during her stay. Based on the photos she sent, my kitty had a great time and was well taken care of. Would definitely use again.”
“Kiana was one of the BEST sitters we have used! Her care for Boh was top notch and her communication was stellar. We never had any doubts of what an amazing time he was having!!!! We will definitely be back!”
“Ashley is great! She’s very good at communicating while she’s in the care of our fur baby! I genuinely feel that Bailey was happy and felt at home. I will definitely book with her in the future! Thank you Ashley!”
“Patty and her family were very receptive to Ivy and they offered a warm and inviting environment. Ivy, who is a companion animal is excitable in new environments but this did not seem to be a problem for Patty and her family. We are very happy and will not hesitate to book her again.”
“Brittany was absolutely wonderful, I was nervous because ive not had ever used a boarding or anything and I just got my puppy and so he is so hyper and into chewing and he even spent the night but she had no worry or anything. She was very interested into puppys routine. When I need to have a babysitter or anything I definitely will keep coming to her. Thank you so much 💓”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care our dog received during his stay! The sitter went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable and loved. From sending regular updates and photos to ensuring his special dietary needs were met, it was clear our pup was in great hands. When we picked him up, he was relaxed and happy, which says everything. Highly recommend this sitter for anyone looking for top-notch care for their furry friend!”
“Second time we’ve had our dog boarded and he did great! I can tell he is so loved and cared for there. It makes me feel at ease to know he’s in great hands and honestly a little less guilty having him boarded because I know he’s having a blast!”
“Fantastic pup care! Needed a last minute solution close to home, and Ms. Cassidy came through like a champ! Even had an emergency to attend to that she was able to accommodate with no issues. Our sweet boy had plenty of socializing and play time with the other pups, and got outstanding care during his stay. We would highly recommend this puppy sitter!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs from The Bay to LA. All sizes and ages. From Goldens to Pitties to Dachshunds, my goal is to always make your pup feel welcomed and safe. I have two pups of my own. They are both house trained, crate trained, and incredibly playful and friendly :) Miggie and Frida are sure to keep your pup occupied and happy during their stay. We have a yard where they’ll be free to run around and lay. We also routinely take our dogs out on walks, and will be sure to include yours as well. I am currently relocating back to the Central Valley and will be home 7 days a week. I am dedicate to caring for your pups as if they were my own. We offer a secured, gated yard area where animals are free to play and lay. They will be supervised and supported during their stay. We also have a spare room dedicated to crate training and wind down time if requested.
“Diana was wonderful with my dog, Blue! She took him in on a short notice and gave him so much love and attention. I could tell he felt right at home. She kept me updated and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. I’m so grateful for her care and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Guadalupe was a lifesaver!!! I was in NYC for the holidays and completely stuck in terms of finding a sitter for Rikki, as my boyfriend works full time in Long Beach and all my friends were also gone for the season. I found Guadalupe and I was impressed by her creditals, and even more impressed by her prices. I was able to book the whole thing online from across the country! My boyfriend dropped Rikki off, and every day I got several updates as to how ridiculously happy my dog was while I was away. We're talking long walks, off-leash frolicking in (gated) parks, she even bought him a toy for Christmas! Guadalupe goes above and beyond for her clients, and outside of family- I wouldn't trust Rikki with anyone else!”

“Azrael was a great communicator and provided detailed accounts of her visits, and gave my kitties (and plants!) a lot of attention. Already booked her for my next time away knowing my loved ones are in great hands😊”
About: I have been taking care of cats professionally for roughly 2 or so years. I have cat sit multiple times for 2 older cats with disabilities. I've done quick check ins with feeding and cleaning as well as longer check ins to provide medicine, care and love to the not so shy kitties.
“Patty is absolutely amazing with my babies, she is punctual, communicates amazingly well and genuinely loves animals and what she does. We are so glad to have found her and will definitely keep continuing to have her babysit our cats.”
“Abigail was wonderful! She came to our house twice a day to take care of our dogs. We have a Labradoodle and a Lab. They are both high energy big dogs. She took them for walks every morning and spent pool time with them in the evening. They loved her and we are so grateful that she was able to help us out! This was our first time trying Rover and we highly recommend Abi!”
“Vanessa was amazing. She came to our house as agreed and fed, watered and changed the litter for the little man. Importantly, she spent time with him and he (3 year old kitty) loved her. She was punctual and absolutely wonderful. She is our go to person!”
“Making herself available for me, helping me so much dealing with my newly diagnosed diabetic cat. So patient with teaching me how to give the insulin injections, while I attempt to gain the confidence to do it myself.”
About: As a professional dog bather, reading subtle animal body language, staying patient, and providing a calm, stress-free environment are at the core of what I do every day. On top of my hands-on professional background, I am the proud owner of a bustling five-cat household (along with two large, active dogs). Managing a multi-cat home means I am thoroughly experienced in everything feline—from understanding distinct individual personalities and respecting boundaries to maintaining immaculate litter routines and keeping multi-pet homes secure. Whether your cat needs gentle, quiet companionship, interactive playtime, or precise feeding routines, I bring low-stress handling, deep patience, and true everyday feline experience to every visit.
About: I have had cats my entire life, everything from more independent indoor/outdoor cats to the pampered apartment dwellers that need constant attention. I'm happy to take care of anything your cat needs, from playtime to clean-up!
About: Specializing in gentle, professional care to elderly and disabled dogs and cats. I started my professional career in animal care at the East Bay SPCA Veterinary Clinic in Oakland. Inspired by the importance of animal welfare, I would complete an eight-week internship at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, where I gained valuable skills in veterinary pre- and post-op care. Following that remarkable experience, I was a veterinary assistant for a holistic veterinarian at a private practice. Later, I returned to shelter medicine as a veterinary technician at the Berkeley-East Bay Humane Society. This span of 25 years allowed me to develop and strengthen my skills and expertise in animal care, specializing in the needs of senior dogs and cats. I am an active foster parent volunteer for Tulare County Animal Services specializing in bottle-feeding neonatal orphaned kittens. I have five cats - it's probably not surprising that they are all "foster failure" Bottle Babies! One cat had an eye removed after it was damaged from severe conjunctivitis. Another cat was born with a leg deformity that impaired her walking ability, so she is my little "tripod" buddy.
“Carola was a great person to watch my cat "Baby". This is the first time that I ever boarded a pet. Carola made sure my cat was safe and well taken care of and she would text me notes and photos everyday/evening to keep me updated. Carola provided a nice room for Baby to live in (at my house she's an outdoor cat). Baby did well in her safe indoor place. I'm sure the next time she is boarded with Carola, my cat will have a big smile on her heart and face and so will I!!! Thank you Carola, for all your kindness!”
“This was our fist time using Rover, and I didn’t really know what to expect, but Brittany went above and beyond when taking care of our pets. Every day she visited, she truly spent quality time with our pets, making the most of her visit and being sure to leave a special note on how they were doing and send us lots of pictures. I am so appreciate of her kindness and love for animals. Thank you so much Brittany! 😊”
“Kendra was amazing. Very quick to respond which was so nice as my husband and I were traveling abroad. She followed our requests for meal times for our kitties, and sent lots of photos. We would definitely have kendra back! Highly recommend!”
“Thank you for everything you did Dorthy! My shy cat Bailey really grew to trust you and I appreciate you being so patient with her. My other more affectionate cat sure appreciated the attention while I was gone.You went the extra mile and I'm grateful for it! I hope our paths cross again!”
About: Hi there, my name’s Sarah! I’m a part-time Rover sitter and full-time dog lover! I have two dogs of my own and have fostered over 15 dogs of all ages/breeds/backgrounds. I understand the importance of respecting each dog as an individual with their own specific needs and preferences. I promise to take the time to get to know your pups in order to give them a personalized experience and spoil them with love while you’re away! Thanks for taking the time to review my profile to see if I could be a good fit for your fur baby! Here’s a quick overview of the services I can provide: Walks/Drop-Ins - Let me take some stress off you by giving your fur baby a break/exercise while you’re at work or just unable to do so yourself! I’ll be sure to enrich your pet’s day with engagement and my undivided attention, and will ensure your pet’s safety the entire time. Boarding – This is where your pup comes to my home for a vacation of their own while you’re away! You’re more than welcome to stop by for a visit beforehand to see where your pup will be staying, get to know myself and my husband, and introduce your pup(s) to mine! We have two dogs – Stella is a 7-year-old chocolate lab mix and Aspen is a 4-year-old amstaff mix (scroll to the bottom of my profile to check them both out). They’re both easy going and love making new friends! We live on 2 acres, part of which is a wetland that your pup can explore! Although our yard is not fenced at the moment, our house is located on a quiet cul-de-sac, and we have multiple 100ft long leashes that we can use for extra safety if your pup likes to wander (although we will always be outside when the pups are outside). Since my husband and I both work from home, we can provide frequent potty breaks and regular walks. In order to not burn out our dogs and our house, we just ask that your pups are house-trained, dog-friendly, and do not have any major destructive traits (we understand accidents happen 😊). Please send your pup with any supplies they may need (food, bed, favorite toys, crate if they use one, a clothing item with your smell, etc.). For these types of bookings, I can either pick up your dog from your house and drop them back off on the last day, or you can drop them off at my house – whatever is easier for you! Sitting – This is where I watch your pup in your home where they are already comfortable! The standard sitting involves me staying in your home overnight and basically standing in for you while you’re gone. I can adapt to your pup’s schedule and routines whether that’s breakfast under the kitchen table or an evening cuddle session on the couch! I will bring my work with me during the week and will bring my own food (no need to stock your pantry/fridge). I’ll be self-sufficient while also keeping up with your house – let me know if I’ll be staying on trash day and can put your bins out or if you’d like me to bring in your mail so it doesn’t pile up in the mailbox! This type of booking is great for families with a space for me to stay and pups who love being homebodies! Some more notes: I’m a “dogs allowed anywhere” person so if your pup is staying in our home, they’re welcome on the couch and bed! If you have a different standard for your pups, especially if I’m staying in your home, please let me know so I can keep up with your routine and training! Pet photography is a passion of mine so you can trust your pup will have their own personal photo shoot (if they’re up for it) and you’ll get all the good pics!
“Jelly Bean had a great time with Cassidy! He got all the attention and snuggles he so desperately, and annoyingly, wanted. I definitely recommend Cassidy for your pet sitting needs!”

“Mel is absolutely amazing. She has watched my dog several times and I have full trust in her. Normally my dog is very shy and doesn’t want to leave my side, but she is always excited to go to Mel’s house!”
“Laurel did a great job taking care of Zeus. She was very sweet, responsive and communicative with his doggie day care. She kept me updated with the stay throughout day. Zeus had a great time while in her care. I would definitely recommend and rebook again. Thank you again! :)”

About: Pet Care Experience Hi! I’m Guadalupe. Most people call me Lupe or Lu 😊. Thanks for stopping by! What sets me apart is that I intentionally take on only a small number of pets at a time. I keep my pet count small to ensure every pet receives my full attention and a calm, stress-free stay. My Care Style (What Your Pet Can Expect) I’ve always been an animal lover and enjoy staying active with pets. I provide multiple daily walks, playtime, and quiet companionship so your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule, which allows for plenty of one-on-one time and occasional last-minute requests. I’m a great fit for: • Dogs who prefer a calm, low-stress environment • Senior dogs • Shy or anxious pets • Cat-friendly dogs preferred but not required. About My Home I live in a house with a small, enclosed yard, perfect for safe potty breaks and fresh air. Pets are welcome to relax and lounge throughout my home. I have one resident cat, a lazy, easygoing guy, and I’m happy to manage space or keep pets separated as needed so everyone feels comfortable. There are no children in the home, which helps keep the environment calm and predictable. Walks & Outdoor Time In addition to yard time, I live near parks and walking trails, so your dog will enjoy regular walks, enrichment, and plenty of sniff time. Ideal Fit I’m a great match for pet parents who value quality over quantity and want their pet to receive attentive, personalized care in a peaceful home setting. Important Notes • Please bring your pet’s food, bowls, leash, collar or harness, medications, and any comfort items needed for their stay. • For safety reasons, I’m unable to accommodate overly aggressive dogs. Your pet will be cared for with patience, kindness, and genuine attention, just like family 🤍🐾 My schedule is pretty flexible as a work-from-home. I occasionally have to go into the office but I will let you know in advance. My husband is also available in case we need to make any accommodations to our schedule. I provide a calm, attentive environment and intentionally limit the number of pets I care for so each pet receives close supervision and individualized care. In my home, pets are monitored throughout the day and cared for according to your instructions, including feeding, walks, medications, and routines. I live in a house with a small, enclosed yard for safe potty breaks and also provide regular walks. I have one calm resident cat and can manage space or keep pets separated as needed to ensure everyone stays comfortable. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and follow your routines carefully. I provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe and well cared for.
“Our 5 month old, very energetic puppy had a great playdate today, starting with a very cute “Welcome” sign, just for her. Beautiful, pet friendly home, with a fenced dog area. We got several videos of her playing throughout the day, which put our minds at ease. It was such a great experience that we’ve already booked an overnight stay.”
About: I've taken care of a variety of animals from birds, cats, and dogs. I like to send pictures and spend quality time with the animals. I'm currently off work for the summer and have availability to check in multiple times on your pet! I will treat them as my own. I have a fenced in backyard, doggy door in one of my rooms, I can easily let pets in and out of my slider door.
About: I’ve cared for pets since childhood, raising both cats and dogs of my own and helping neighbors, friends, and family with theirs. I have experience with puppies as young as 15 weeks, energetic adults, and senior dogs who require gentle, patient care. I’ve also raised two cats from kittens to adulthood, so I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I’ve personally walked through the joy of raising pets and the heartbreak of saying goodbye to four beloved dogs and one cat in their senior years, which gives me a special compassion for aging pets and the families who love them. I’m also certified through the GoodPup Dog Training Certification program, which has strengthened my understanding of reward-based care, basic training support, enrichment, and helping dogs feel safe and successful. What sets me apart is not just my love for animals, but my reliability, consistency, and attention to detail. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, quirks, and preferences so I can care for them with the same patience and love I give my own. As a stay-at-home mom and small business owner who works from home, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide consistent attention throughout the day for boarding, daycare, walks, drop-ins, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddle breaks. I do my best to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. I provide a safe, welcoming, family-style home environment with a fenced backyard, plenty of room to play, and no resident pets, so visiting dogs receive lots of attention and care. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routines, feeding schedule, crate routine, medication instructions, and comfort preferences as closely as possible. My young son is part of our daily routine and may be present during bookings. He has been raised around animals and is always supervised, so I only accept pets who are comfortable around small children. For cat care, I provide attentive drop-in visits focused on feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, companionship, and updates while you’re away.
“Veronica was very responsive, took my fur-baby on short notice, I received a picture of him shortly after drop, upon pick up he was happy and all ready to go! From start to finish Veronica made all transitions smooth. 🐾”

About: I’ve been dog sitting & providing services for over 10 years now! For 5+ years I’ve dog sat Gracie the pit bull (see photos) as her father is always traveling for work for extended periods of time prior to coming back to this platform. I would dog sit on multiple occasions for weeks or months at a time, therefore I'm comfortable working extended periods of time with multiple animals. I treat every animal as if they were my own so I understand on a personal note how sentimental they mean to their owners! I pride myself in my patience & professionalism. I carry myself with a lot of compassion & empathy however, which is why I wanted to begin working & applying more of my time with animals again! Complete availability Monday through Friday, I’m open between 7:30am-10:30pm for any doggie daycare needs, dog walking or drop ins! Very easy going & willing to do weekends for repeated clients! ❤️ I currently have a huge fenced backyard & will always make sure they’re monitored. I love to be present with every animal I watch so I always ensure the doggies are safe while they’re playing or resting. I’ll never leave them unattended!

My daily work gives me hands-on experience handling different coat types, reading canine body language, and keeping pets calm during routine care. At home, I’m a proud pet parent to two rescue-level personality powerhouses—a high-energy Black Lab and a strong, affectionate Cane Corso/American Bully mix. Living with and caring for both friendly, active pups and powerful, large breeds means I am entirely comfortable managing dogs of any strength, energy level, or size.

Living with five felines and two powerful dog breeds gives me hands-on, daily experience with everything from high-energy walks and large-breed handling to subtle cat behavior, multi-pet routines, and meticulous home safety.

Crate-Trained & Calming Environment: As a multi-pet owner (including a Black Lab and a Cane Corso/Bully mix), my home is built on clear routines and safety. My own dogs are well-trained and crate-trained. Crate training allows for safe, stress-free boundaries, individualized downtime, and secure separation whenever needed (e.g., during feeding times or quiet rest). Indoor Enrichment & Constant Supervision: Because apartment space is defined, pets in my care receive close, direct supervision, interactive indoor play, and dedicated individual attention rather than being left unattended in a yard. Maintaining Familiar Routines: I strictly mirror your established feeding, walking, and medication schedules so your pets feel completely secure in their familiar environment. Low-Stress Handling & Body Language Expertise: Drawing on my professional bathing background, I monitor pets for subtle signs of stress or discomfort, ensuring low-stress interactions—whether that means gentle companionship for sensitive cats or structured leash control for energetic dogs. Multi-Pet Home Management: I am thoroughly experienced in managing multi-pet households safely, keeping dogs and cats on their respective feeding and play routines while ensuring entryways and doors remain strictly secure. Cleanliness & Respect for Your Space: I leave your home exactly as I found it—handling litter box maintenance, wiping muddy paws after walks, cleaning feeding areas, and keeping your pets safe and comfortable while you're away.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for neighbors and family members on a regular basis. I have had a dog since I was 5 who unfortunately passed away a few years ago. Taking care of her with the help of my mother has taught me patience and helped me gain experience with elderly dogs. I am currently free full time over the summer as I have recently graduated. Starting in August, I will be working regularly as a substitute teacher, but will be available all day on weekends. I can offer all day care if needed. If you need me to stay the night, I can absolutely do so. I am adaptable to all of your pet’s needs, just let me know!
About: Hello! My name is Ariel. I have my AA in animal science as well as have my certification in dog obedience training, pet nutrition and pet first aid/CPR. I currently work at an animal hospital and I also do obedience training. I can follow instructions very well and I love to send pictures and updates to pet parents that book with me so they know how everything is going with their babies and help them feel more at ease! I also love bike riding and roller blading which I find are good ways to help release a lot of built up energy in dogs! I strongly believe animals are a big part of our familys and should be loved and cared for like family! I hope I am what you are looking for in a pet sitter! I do my best to accommodate all pet parent wishes with my schedule and am very honest about my abilities and scheduling to make sure everyone is comfortable and on the same page I have a fully fenced yard with tall trees providing lots of shade as well as lots of grass. On warm summer days I do bring out splash pads, pools and sprinklers to have some fun in the sun!
“Jordan is awesome! Knows how to handle big, strong-willed dogs very well. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing pet care. He is my go to guy from now on. Dependable, trust-worthy and honest.”
“Julianna was awesome with Wavy. Not just Wavy who went right to her but made me relax knowing my little guy was taken care of. Julianna also goes that extra that so nice. 5 stars is not enough! Thanks Gino”
About: I have cared for all sorts of pets including exotics. Pets are like babies to me and I will care for them as if they're my own. I have a few errands to run during the week but do have windows with good notice I can do check inns and take on some drop offs. I have 2 male cats of my own and do welcome all kinds. I can walk, feed & play with pets as needed. I can transport too.
About: I’ve been dog sitting & providing services for over 10 years now! For 5+ years I’ve dog sat Gracie the pit bull (see photos) as her father is always traveling for work for extended periods of time prior to coming back to this platform. I would dog sit on multiple occasions for weeks or months at a time, therefore I'm comfortable working extended periods of time with multiple animals. I treat every animal as if they were my own so I understand on a personal note how sentimental they mean to their owners! I pride myself in my patience & professionalism. I carry myself with a lot of compassion & empathy however, which is why I wanted to begin working & applying more of my time with animals again! Complete availability Monday through Friday, I’m open between 7:30am-10:30pm for any doggie daycare needs, dog walking or drop ins! Very easy going & willing to do weekends for repeated clients! ❤️ I currently have a huge fenced backyard & will always make sure they’re monitored. I love to be present with every animal I watch so I always ensure the doggies are safe while they’re playing or resting. I’ll never leave them unattended!

“Brittany was absolutely wonderful, I was nervous because ive not had ever used a boarding or anything and I just got my puppy and so he is so hyper and into chewing and he even spent the night but she had no worry or anything. She was very interested into puppys routine. When I need to have a babysitter or anything I definitely will keep coming to her. Thank you so much 💓”
“Second time we’ve had our dog boarded and he did great! I can tell he is so loved and cared for there. It makes me feel at ease to know he’s in great hands and honestly a little less guilty having him boarded because I know he’s having a blast!”
“Fantastic pup care! Needed a last minute solution close to home, and Ms. Cassidy came through like a champ! Even had an emergency to attend to that she was able to accommodate with no issues. Our sweet boy had plenty of socializing and play time with the other pups, and got outstanding care during his stay. We would highly recommend this puppy sitter!”

“Say third times the charm. Used a couple of sitters since I’ve been here. Won’t speak much on those experiences but Yetta was by far the most comfortable safest experience I’ve received. She will be my permanent sitter while I’m here so she comes highly recommended. Good size yard. Went out of her way to get my boy his extra food even though I deemed it unnecessary. Your pup will be in great hands here.”
“Manuel was great. He sent pictures of our Bella and was quick to reply when checked in on her. We ran three hours late due to delays and traffic from our trip and Manuel was kind and accommodating.. will definitely recommend and use them again”
