“Lauren and her family were great! She segregated our puppy to ensure her safety provided updates and pictures throughout our puppy’s stay. Would definitely recommend Lauren and I look forward to the next time we’re in the area!”
About: I have taken care of dogs most of my life, whether it's my own pet or pet sitting for neighbors. I have two dogs myself. Bosa who is a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and our big little rescue Kittle who is a Great Pyrenees. I have been blessed to have so many amazing people, and of course dogs, that I can now make dog walking/sitting my full time job. I am a trustworthy hard worker who follows instructions to the letter. I am physically active and can keep up with the most excitable of dogs.
“Very happy with Jennifer looking after our dog. She took great photos of him and sent us updates of his stay. We just picked him up and he's one happy and very tired dog! We will definitely have her look after him again. Highly recommend!”
“Caren was great! My dog seemed very happy there and she seemed to take great care of her. Her house is in a nice neighborhood and my dog’s age got a lot of good walks and visits to the dog park, etc. Would definitely recommend Caren!”
“Heather is a remarkable dogsitter whose empathy and patience truly stand out, especially with dogs that require extra care and understanding. We entrusted Heather with our dog, Daisy, an abuse rescue who is extremely anxious and fearful around strangers. From the beginning, Heather approached Daisy with such gentleness and patience, making sure Daisy felt as comfortable and secure as possible. Throughout Daisy's stay, Heather was incredibly attentive to her needs, even when Daisy spent most of her time waiting anxiously at the door. Heather's updates were a source of comfort to us; she communicated regularly about Daisy's state, detailing her efforts to ease Daisy's anxiety and ensure she felt safe. It was evident that Heather's primary concern was Daisy's well-being, and she went above and beyond to care for her in a way that truly resonated with us. Not only did Heather provide a safe space for Daisy, but she also gave us peace of mind knowing that Daisy was in the hands of someone who understands and respects the needs of a dog with Daisy's background. Heather's dedication to Daisy's comfort and her professional, compassionate approach to dogsitting have made her our go-to person for future needs. We are deeply grateful for her exceptional care and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a patient, understanding, and skilled caregiver for their pet.”
“Our dog loves Brandi and her family! She sends lots of updates, photos and is clearly diligent about Olive’s feeding regimen. Olive always comes back happy and tired from all of the playing :) thank you so much!”
“Our dog had a great time Thank you so much!!!!! Bernadette mad us feel very comfortable Thank you for the great pictures that you send us during our trip so we can see Maybe Thank you”
“Hannah was an amazing sitter! I would recommend her a million times. We were traveling and had a kennel back out on us last minute, which left us in a rough spot, and Hannah was able to help us last minute and was so flexible and understanding. She was so sweet and patient with Mark, spent lots of time with him, and gave us plenty of pictures, videos, and updates. He had the best time. When we picked him up he was happy, healthy, and exhausted from all the playing and fun! She also fed him extra food when his ran out and kept track of and returned all the toys we sent with him. She has a beautiful and safe property that he loved playing on. I would absolutely book with her again in the future!”
“Angela took absolutely fabulous care of River while I was away! From chicken dinners, trips to the dog park for fetch, and even adventures downtown for pup cups. River was a happy dog and loved every minute with her. I would absolutely trust Angela again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing Rover sitter!”
“My dog Beau had a great time staying with Jill. She is very warm and loving and took great care of my beloved fur baby. I loved receiving photos during his stay and they have a super safe setup. I could tell Beau was super happy being there which means a lot when you’re away. Would definitely book again!”
“We found Marti wonderful and plan to use her for an upcoming trip. Her dog Lou got along great with our dog. Marti kept us informed how things were going. Even sharing cute stories about what our dog was doing. I appreciated her text and photos. I would highly recommend her as she is very knowledgeable of how it takes times for dog to adjust to new environment. She spent quality time with our dog which shows when we dropped her off and when we came to pick her up, she didn't want to leave.”
“Alexis was an absolute pro and took amazing care of our dog. Her home and property is so spacious and great for safe exercise. And Alexis is really communicative and super helpful. Highly recommend!”
“Earl was great to work with! He is easy going and great with animals. He was flexible with drop off and pick up times. I would definitely recommend this provider and we will surely be using him again in the future.”
“We had a dog care need come up with two weeks notice and Sheila was able to help us out. This was our first time using Rover for a sitter or boarding and Sheila (with her husband) made Rory feel at home. She got her cuddles, scritches, treats and a big yard to run after the ball. I loved the updates and pictures of Rory enjoying her weekend doggy getaway.”
“Susan was an amazing caretaker for Ryder this past weekend! She took him on several fun walks and made it feel like a little vacation for him. We loved receiving her updates and adorable photos throughout his stay. Ryder was clearly very well cared for, and we would absolutely love to have Susan help with him again in the future.”
“Tamara is so great! It is very clear how much she loves animals and how caring she is. She went above an beyond . She’s great with communicating. Highly recommend and we will definitely use her again!”
“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!”

“Amanda was absolutely amazing! She's reliable and is great at communicating. The kitties liked her a lot. We felt at ease being away because we felt our fur babies were in great hands. We would love to work with Amanda again in the future :)”
About: I’ve had cats my entire life and understand them well. My sweet kitty just passed away at 20 years old and I’d love to help take care of yours. I frequently travel for work for weeks on end, but when I am home and able to cat-sit, my schedule can be completely flexible. Day / night. Since I only offer cat-sitting, I doubt that this section about my own house will matter much. Cats don’t like to be relocated for temporary purposes.
“Andrea is an awesome pet sitter and I can’t recommend her enough! She did drop ins to check on our two young cats while we were gone and gave them lots of care. She always posted great pictures and notes from her visits and it made it so nice to see our cats while we were away. Thanks Andrea!!!”

About: I specialize in care for senior kitties and/or ones need special attention through medications, subcutaneous fluids, etc. My last kitty lived to be 22 yrs old, I believe because of my care from specialized homeopathic remedies to chiropractic adjustments. My pets are family.
“Casey was a wonderful sitter for my senior kitty. She followed all instructions and played with her and sent reports and photos often and that really put my mind at ease. My cat seemed glad to see me but not overly needy. I would definitely use Casey again!”
“Gwenna was quick to respond, and sent pictures of our sweet boy every day. She was flexible and the whole process was very seamless. I can tell she spent a good amount of time with him, which I appreciated, even on the busy holiday week!”
About: What sets me apart is my high energy, adaptability, and genuine attentiveness to each pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s an energetic kitten, a shy senior cat, or a playful pup, I adjust my care style to match their personality and routine. I’m not just here to feed and walk I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I take pride in creating a calm and fun environment, giving you peace of mind and your pet a new best friend. As a student with an open and flexible schedule, I’m able to easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I have the time and availability to provide consistent, reliable care throughout the week. I make sure pets feel comfortable and safe, whether they're in my home or theirs. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible—feeding schedules, walk times, play, and any special instructions. I'm attentive to their behavior and needs, and I always keep the space clean, calm, and pet-friendly. My goal is to create a low-stress, positive environment while you're away.
“This is our third time booking Betsy to take care of our kitty while we’re out of town. She always does such a wonderful job and sends pictures and lets us know how kitty is doing daily! Our precious little monster is not the friendliest cat to say the least and Betsy is so patient with her. Thanks Betsy!”
“Awesome service provided. I’d definitely rebook with Tamara, as she was always fast to respond, very professional, she did everything I asked and was just awesome to deal with! She took good care of my fur babies for the weekend. 10/10 would recommend:)”
About: I have cared for dogs since I was ten years old and I got my first puppy. After my college graduation I wanted another dog so bad but because of my travel for work I was always the one to just visit and baby sit my parents dogs for about the past 7 years. However, I'm changing careers now to be home more and have my very own puppy and luckily the chance to look after some other cute dogs as well! I live on a 7 acre property and have experience taking care of goats and chickens as well! I'm currently going back to school, mostly online so I have lots of time to drive to and play with your dog. On some days I do have to be at the SRJC in person but never for more than 4 hours at a time. I am an outdoorsy person and I love to go on long walks. I also have a SUV so if a walk in a park further away is desired I can easily transport them. I have a high energy puppy of my own that loves to play with other dogs big and small so he is always available to keep your dog company if they enjoy playing with others.
“Angelina was great! I really can not think of one thing that I was not happy with. She kept me updated on my kitty and sent pictures. I came home to an immaculate home. She even did some light grocery shopping for my return home. Wow, I thought this was so thoughtful. Thank you, Angelina, for letting me enjoy my vacation knowing that I had left everything in good hands. 👏”
“Gina is such a reliable and responsible person who provides excellent care to my cats! She is very communicative and always helps me feel at ease when I travel. I definitely recommend booking with her!”
About: I grew up with a cat who I fed every day and night. During my farm stay, I also cared for two outdoor cats and one indoor cat, giving me experience with both indoor and outdoor environments. I understand the trust that is built with cats and take the time to respect their space while still providing consistent care and attention.

About: I'm excited to be back to doing what I love best after some time away raising a kiddo and creating a home dreamy for humans and furry friends alike. Treat your canine friend to a retreat in the country and feel comfortable leaving them in the hands of a professional and certified trainer. With over forty years of experience with animals and as a reputable Trainer for an Assistance Dog organization, i have a strong background with animals and can provide a safe and fun environment. My home is a canine paradise! It's quiet and serene with plenty of shade, a fully fenced yard, and a private dirt road that meanders through the countryside right out our back door, - perfect for walks for the dogs. There ia a resident Labrador retrievers named "Heart" and a Bernese Mountaing Dog named "Stormy" They are great ambassadors and love to host furry friends. I can also offer training, baths/grooming just ask if you think you would like this. We look forward to your dogs vacay with us. Why I love dog sitting I know when I leave for vacation, knowing my animals are in good hands allows for me to relax and enjoy my time away worry free. Animal owners are some of the best people I have known and I love meeting new friends, human and furry alike. I work part time from home, so it makes for the ideal environment to incorporate dog sitting into the day. I care for the dogs as if they were my own and I hope that you will allow us the honor to care for you animals(s). I am currently working from home. I leave the house on occasion but can either take your dog with me for a car ride if they like that, leave your dog home or if you would prefer, crate it for a short time. I am never gone long when dogs are n my care. I treat all dogs as if they are my own and follow the instructions of the owners on what to do to make them comfortable while in my home.
“Holly was amazing! Very communicative. Asked all the questions someone who genuinely cares about your pets comfort and well being. Our little guy struggles with being left and she handled it like an absolute pro. 10/10!!!”
“Saved my butt when traveling through the region and needed a dog sitter for the day. My Jef was happy and comfortable, and I could tell he had affection for Heather when we left.”
“Bernadette was wonderful with my rescue puppy Isabel!! It was her first time being left with someone, and I felt calm and confident knowing she was in Bernadette’s care. Bernadette clearly knows so much about animals and was very kind, understanding, and knowledgeable about Isabel’s communication and needs. I highly recommend Bernadette!!”
About: I had two dogs growing up and had to train them all on my own. I am not a professional trainer, but I am very patient and open to teaching your dog some new things. my work shifts are 7 days on and 14 days off. So I have a lot of free time to fill and have availability for longer stays. I live on a 5 acre property with three other homes next door. There is a fenced yard in the back and lots of free space to let your dog roam with my Nina.
“Angelina is absolutely wonderful as a person and dog sitter. Our Border Collie is very active and Angelina played fetch with Roy, fed him , walked him and took him to the beach for a swim. She is a very happy and fun woman. We will hire her again and again!!!”
About: I love all animals, especially dogs. I'm a very active person so walking a lot is no issue for me. I enjoy hiking with dogs. I’ve worked in many dog shelters taking care of dogs of all different ages. I have also been a dog walker/sitter with rover and wag for about 6 years now. With me your puppers are in good hands :) I am working on a farm from 8-4 M-Th so weekends are more ideal. I like to take pups out first thing in the morning for a little stroll and on weekends I usually spend more time relaxing at home. I’m always checking in on them and giving them love whether that looks like playing with them or giving them a cuddle. I also check the water bowl multiple times a day to make sure they are hydrated. I try to have regular feeding times as well.
“Lemon had a great time during her stay! They were super communicative and easy to book with. Drop off & pick-up were also very smooth. We will definitely send Lemon here again if we’re in the area!”
“Melissa was incredible with our 5 month old puppy, Rocky! It was our first time leaving Rocky and I couldn’t have felt more comfortable with Melissa. She is very communicative, understands dogs very well, and helped train our pup. I look forward to booking again with Melissa in the future!”
About: I've always had a dog. I had dogs growing up, I adopted a dog when I moved out on my own, and I adopted another dog when my children were old enough. Dogs are an important and special part of the family. I enjoy giving them attention, taking them for walks, brushing them, and of course, cuddling with them. I am observant of their communication styles, and use my observation skills to make sure I attend to their needs and keep them happy. I lost my special girl recently, and this is the first time in a while I am without my own dog. I would love to help you care for your dog while I decide whether to adopt again. I currently work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I am available to go for walks and give potty breaks almost anytime day and evening. I live in a townhouse that does not have a fenced yard. However, I used to take my dog for several walks per day for both exercise and potty breaks. Dogs are welcome in any part of the house, or can be restricted to downstairs, depending on their needs. I am happy to visit your pet in your home to offer a potty break, take for a walk, or just give some attention.

Whether it’s an energetic kitten, a shy senior cat, or a playful pup, I adjust my care style to match their personality and routine.

About: Walks through Armstrong Redwoods are a favorite activity. I have a large yard and a dog friendly house. I have a couple of years experience working in a veterinary clinic giving me experience medicating animals, including giving injections. I have a pool for dogs who love to swim! I was a volunteer and puppy raiser for Canine Companions for Independence back in the mid to late 1980's, and a Puppy Petter for Assistance Dog Institute in the early 2000's. I've also kept busy with boarding in my home for friends and acquaintances. I love dogs!! I have Sundays and Mondays off from my full time job, but I can fit in a nice walk after 4 pm most other days. When I have someone's dog, they get my full attention; we play, exercise, snuggle. My focus is providing an enriching experience for your dog .
“Olive had an amazing day with Alexis. We got lots of pictures throughout the day which were very appreciated and it was obvious that our dog had a fun day because she was a very tired and happy dog when she got home.”
About: 🐾 Your Fur Baby's Best Buddy! 🐾 Hey there! As a passionate dog owner myself for the past 3 years, I truly understand the love and care our furry family members deserve. Having experienced using Rover for my own pup, I know exactly what you, as a dog owner, are looking for in a reliable and trustworthy dog sitter. My top priority is to provide your furry friend with all the kindness, care, and attention they need, just like they were my very own! I work part time as a personal trainer in the day and dance teacher at night so I create my own schedule! I always keep my mornings free for walks, playtime, and any special needs for the dogs! Afternoon walks are also something I prioritize, it’s not only important for your pup to get that exercise but I like to decompress and enjoy nature as much as I can during the day. One of my favorite things to do is to go on refreshing walks and spend quality time at the park with my dog Jinx, and I'm sure your pup loves that too! If they are on the more relaxed side, I'm happy to spend indoors play time and/or simply cuddle. I have a 7 year old pup named Jinx who is friendly and loves a walk but if we go to the dog park he ideally loves just doing his own thing, he's more of an introvert 😂 Rest assured, your dog's safety is paramount to me. I have a spacious yard, which provides the perfect play area, it is not fenced so I use a secure 30ft leash when any dogs play outside, so your pup can enjoy freedom while being safely supervised. I also have a partner who lives with me and he has a heart that melts for dogs, so your fur baby is in safe hands. So, if you need a responsible and loving dog sitter, I'm here for you! Let's make sure your beloved companion has a fantastic time while you're away or at work, and they get the love and care they deserve with a sitter... plus I'll send lots of photos! 🐕 Looking forward to meeting you and your doggo soon! 🐶 Kindly, Katee 🐶
“Jeanne’s wonderful! She’s so lovely, calm, friendly, and warm. Jeanne’s home and garden are a paradise oasis of fun for humans and animals alike. Our dog loved her dogs, and they romped and played together. Jeanne also treated our pup to a walk through her beautiful, peaceful, safe neighborhood. We look forward to bringing our dog to visit Jeanne anytime.”
“Elizabeth was fantastic! Helped me last minute when I was in a bind looking for doggy care. She was super sweet, very responsive and communicative and gave my pup all the love! Would definitely recommend! Exactly what you want in a trusted sitter.”

“Sophia has done a great job walking my dog so far! She asked lots of questions at our initial meeting, which showed how committed she was to taking good care of him. She has accommodated our requested schedule even when it's a tight fit for her.”
About: I’ve taken care of all types of dogs for 30 years. I have two Pittbull mixes , one boxer Pitt and one Pitt bulldog. The Pitt Bull Dog has intervertebral disk disease and used my training in occupational therapy and massage and did physical therapy with him myself so he could use his back legs again, after being paralyzed and needing a wheelchair. He’s now able to walk without his wheelchair. I’ve also taken pittbull training classes with them and am knowledgeable about training cues. I currently work as a distribution sales executive, and work from home, so have free time in the afternoons and weekends. I have a baby and two dogs of my own and would still be able to take some time to visit other dogs in my area. I can check on pets during the day or while clients are on vacation . I can take them on walks, let them out in the yard, play fetch , feed them , snuggle them, and even give medicine.
“Kyle really helped us out this week! He was always on time and our dog really liked going on walks with him. When our dog got home he was just as happy as can be. Thank you Kyle”
About: I began my seriously joyous devotion to animals at the age of 11, as an SF ZOO volunteer in the barnyard, where I learned to care for a variety of animals, from miniature horses to coyotes to parrots, and more. I have continued to attract rescuing wayward beasts of all kinds, providing them with excellent love and care. I am a natural nurturer, the animals feel at home with me wherever we are. I have worked as a cat, dog and multi-pet sitter for many years, up until now, only through personal referrals. I am a kundalini yoga teacher, craniosacral and polarity therapist. My son is grown and I have a very flexible schedule. I love to get out with the dogs for long walks and if they don’t mind the car, we might get to the beach. I love nature, the outdoors and finding out how best to care for your animal so that they don’t miss you too much. I absolutely appreciate forming long term client relationships so that you and your animals can relax and have fun. I am self-employed and can accommodate your needs. When I am hired for a pet-sit, this is my focus and priority. I can schedule all my other work around it. I have a lovely minimalist home for your pet, a small garden and plenty of leashed walking in the woods space for regular exercise. If a dog is ok with car rides, I’m happy to take them to the beach.
“Ashley was wonderful and reliable. She absolutely saved my life taking on a week of dog walks when my regular walker went out of town. She sent updates and took my greyhound on great treks that def took the whole time I had booked. I think my Izz may be in love.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for many years and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m responsible, dependable, and committed to making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet needs a long walk, plenty of playtime, or just someone attentive to keep them company, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I currently am free Monday, Tuesday after noon Wednesday Friday and all the weekend. I can do anytime you would want me to do 8am -9pm on those days I listed Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my approach is all about consistency, comfort, and communication. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of playtime, exercise, and affection. I follow each pet’s routine closely—meals, walks, medications, and bedtime habits—so they feel right at home. When I’m in a client’s home, I treat it with the same care and respect I’d expect for my own. I maintain the pet’s familiar routine, provide updates throughout the stay, and make sure everything from feeding to cleaning is handled with care. I aim to make the experience as stress-free as possible for both pets and their people.
“Holly is the best and I highly recommend!!! She’s very attentive and quick to responses. Will continue to use her for future ! Also her children are the sweetest most behaved kids I’ve met in a long time. I know Mauka was in great hands !! 10000/10 ❤️”
“Zach has been great. We wanted a walker for 6 weeks while my granddaughter recovered from medical issues. Our rambunctious 70 lb. Golden Retriever juvenile (to big to be called a puppy) loves walking with Zach. He gets sooo excited when Zach arrives! So excited that Zach sometimes has to help get the leash on. All of us will miss having Zach walk Angus.”
About: I grew up in a neighborhood my friends used to call “the farm”. We had 3 dogs, one neighbor had chickens, one neighbor had horses, and another neighbor had goats. Along with various dogs and cats at each house. Because I was the oldest kid in the neighborhood, I was the go-to person anytime a neighbor needed a house sitter or even just needed me to feed their pet dinner since they were out late. When I got older and started driving, I began dog sitting for our large group of friends, taking care of all sizes of dogs, cats, and the occasional reptile. Although I work part-time, I am generally available 7 days a week for house sitting. I am willing to accommodate crazy schedules and last minute plans if need be. I have a small home but a big yard, so while I can’t accommodate boarding, I have a large outdoor space and my own pup that is eager for play dates during the day. As for house sitting, I provide attentive, personalized care in my client’s home so your pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely. With my history in the animal health field, I am comfortable administering any medications if needed. As a person who values communication, I provide regular ‘pupdates’ and pictures so owners feel confident their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for.

About: I have been taking care of animals more regularly over the last few years. Staying in peoples homes in order to ensure someone is there to take care of cats and dogs. Dog walking regularly, making sure they’re always fed and watered. Cleaning litter boxes, or cleaning up after dogs. I have a heart for animals and I love spending time with them and playing or cuddling. I am currently trying to build more of a regular income in taking care of pets. I am currently available almost all the time and I am willing to stay overnight at your home. I do not currently have a home that I can take pets into my home. I cannot currently take pets into my home, but I am regularly aware of where your pets are in the home or in the yard. I will always honor your wishes as to where we walk or where the animals are allowed to go. I regularly check on each animal in my care, learning their cues, and allowing them to dictate the level of our relationship.
About: I worked the wag app in Chicago for a 2 years, and loved it! Excited to be in an area where i can start dog walking again. I also grew up in a household with dogs as pets so im very comfortable around all sizes and breeds of dogs. I am a stay at home mom, i also nanny my nephew during the week. We have plenty of time to love your fur-babies! I have a fenced in space for the fur baby. I can accommodate your fur babies needs whether they prefer to roam the house or need a crate. I do not own a dog or will i double book so you can be sure of your fur babies safety.
About: Hi, I’m Josephia, and I would absolutely love to meet your pets! I hold a bachelor’s degree in Environmental Studies from the University of California, Santa Barbara. I’ve also been pet sitting for dogs and cats in my neighborhood since high school, giving me over 10 years of experience caring for animals in both casual and structured settings. Most recently, I spent the past year doing a work-stay on a farm, where I was responsible for the vegetable garden, 12 fruit trees, and the daily care of a variety of animals, including two sheep, nine chickens, three cats, and a dog. This experience taught me how to be highly attentive, consistent, and adaptable to different animal needs and personalities. My responsibilities included feeding, cleaning, monitoring health and behavior, and maintaining safe, comfortable environments for all animals. I’m very familiar with sticking to routines, which I know is especially important for pets while their owners are away. I live an active lifestyle and love being outdoors, so I’m great with pets that need long walks, runs, or playtime. I truly treat every pet like my own and prioritize clear communication with owners through updates, messages, and photos so you can feel confident and at ease while you're away. Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine. I am currently doing a farm stay in Sebastopol, where I follow a consistent schedule of daily animal care. While these responsibilities do not take up my entire day, they do require me to stay in the area, so I am only able to take on pet care within Sebastopol. I have a flexible schedule and am available any day of the week in the Sebastopol area. I’m able to accommodate morning, midday, and evening visits, as long as it is within the area. I follow your instructions closely and stick to your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always safe, and I pay attention to each pet’s behavior so I can respond to what they need, whether that’s space, attention, or exercise. I keep your home tidy and respect your space, and I’m happy to send updates and photos so you know how everything is going.

“Lauren and her family were great! She segregated our puppy to ensure her safety provided updates and pictures throughout our puppy’s stay. Would definitely recommend Lauren and I look forward to the next time we’re in the area!”
“Very happy with Jennifer looking after our dog. She took great photos of him and sent us updates of his stay. We just picked him up and he's one happy and very tired dog! We will definitely have her look after him again. Highly recommend!”
“Caren was great! My dog seemed very happy there and she seemed to take great care of her. Her house is in a nice neighborhood and my dog’s age got a lot of good walks and visits to the dog park, etc. Would definitely recommend Caren!”
“Our dog loves Brandi and her family! She sends lots of updates, photos and is clearly diligent about Olive’s feeding regimen. Olive always comes back happy and tired from all of the playing :) thank you so much!”
“Hannah was an amazing sitter! I would recommend her a million times. We were traveling and had a kennel back out on us last minute, which left us in a rough spot, and Hannah was able to help us last minute and was so flexible and understanding. She was so sweet and patient with Mark, spent lots of time with him, and gave us plenty of pictures, videos, and updates. He had the best time. When we picked him up he was happy, healthy, and exhausted from all the playing and fun! She also fed him extra food when his ran out and kept track of and returned all the toys we sent with him. She has a beautiful and safe property that he loved playing on. I would absolutely book with her again in the future!”
“Angela took absolutely fabulous care of River while I was away! From chicken dinners, trips to the dog park for fetch, and even adventures downtown for pup cups. River was a happy dog and loved every minute with her. I would absolutely trust Angela again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing Rover sitter!”
“We found Marti wonderful and plan to use her for an upcoming trip. Her dog Lou got along great with our dog. Marti kept us informed how things were going. Even sharing cute stories about what our dog was doing. I appreciated her text and photos. I would highly recommend her as she is very knowledgeable of how it takes times for dog to adjust to new environment. She spent quality time with our dog which shows when we dropped her off and when we came to pick her up, she didn't want to leave.”
“Alexis was an absolute pro and took amazing care of our dog. Her home and property is so spacious and great for safe exercise. And Alexis is really communicative and super helpful. Highly recommend!”
“Earl was great to work with! He is easy going and great with animals. He was flexible with drop off and pick up times. I would definitely recommend this provider and we will surely be using him again in the future.”
“We had a dog care need come up with two weeks notice and Sheila was able to help us out. This was our first time using Rover for a sitter or boarding and Sheila (with her husband) made Rory feel at home. She got her cuddles, scritches, treats and a big yard to run after the ball. I loved the updates and pictures of Rory enjoying her weekend doggy getaway.”
“Susan was an amazing caretaker for Ryder this past weekend! She took him on several fun walks and made it feel like a little vacation for him. We loved receiving her updates and adorable photos throughout his stay. Ryder was clearly very well cared for, and we would absolutely love to have Susan help with him again in the future.”
“Tamara is so great! It is very clear how much she loves animals and how caring she is. She went above an beyond . She’s great with communicating. Highly recommend and we will definitely use her again!”
“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!”
“I had a fantastic experience with Sandy! From the moment she picked Lucy up, I felt completely confident that she was in great hands. Her communication was prompt and friendly, and the regular updates and photos really put my mind at ease. Lucy came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It's such a relief to find someone as trustworthy and attentive as Sandy. I’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future—thank you so much for taking such great care of Lucy!”
“Marina took great car of our dog while we were in town on a vacation. She sent lots of photos, seemed to really care about our dog, and was easy to communicate with. Would book again if we were in town again!”
About: I’ve been taking care of my families puppy and my own kitten for about 2 years now ! Ive taken care of other peoples dogs in the past as well! I’m efficient and competent. Im currently a college student, so I spend most of my time at home and just in general I’m a home body. So, I have enough time to care and tend to pets and their needs. I’m very attentive to my own cat and families dog. They both have feeding schedules and are potty trained. I’ve taken my time to make them good pets. I’ve showed the same amount of attention and affection to other peoples pets as well.
“We can’t recommend Allyse and Justin enough for dog sitting. From the moment we met them, it was very easy to tell that Allyse and Justin were calm, caring, and attentive to our dogs needs. Allyse provided excellent communication throughout the entire experience. We received daily updates, helping us feel calm and at ease being away from our dogs. We were very comfortable knowing Allyse and Justin were giving our dogs attention and caring for them in our absence. We can’t recommend or thank them enough. We would absolutely book with Allyse again!”
“Melissa was so thoughtful and kind to both Daisy and I. It was our first time leaving Daisy since we adopted her. Melissa took the time to let us visit her home for a meet-and -greet and sniffs of her property a few days before Daisy’s stay. Melissa was so thoughtful and attentive to Daisy’s needs. I have no doubt that Daisy is in good hands with Melissa .”
