“We first used Braden and Natalie for one day of doggy daycare, and it was clear Millie had a wonderful time. We knew she got plenty of interaction since she was tired when she got home. It was even more apparent when we brought her back a few days later for boarding since once we walked up the driveway, she started getting excited as she recognized the place—that gave us so much peace of mind. From the initial meet and greet, Braden and Natalie were thoughtful and thorough. They asked great questions, were down to earth, and clearly cared about getting to know Millie and her needs and keeping to her schedule. Throughout her stay, they kept us updated, which we really appreciated. Millie was happy and well cared for, and we felt totally comfortable leaving her with them. We’ll absolutely be using them again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to others!”
“Kimberly was a great sitter for my dog, Friday. I was worried about how anxious my dog would get during Halloween, but she made sure he was comfortable and in a quiet space. I really appreciate her updates and the videos of our dogs playing together. Thanks, Kimberly!”
“Susan was our first Rover sitter, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. After meeting a few sitters, our dog immediately connected with Susan—and since Mochi only gives cuddles to very special people, I knew she was the one. We boarded Mochi with Susan for a few nights while we were away, and she was incredibly attentive to her needs. She took her on daily walks, played lots of ball with her—Mochi is a serious ball-aholic—and, most importantly, loved her like her own. She also sent updates and photos, which meant so much to us. At one point, I even joked that she shouldn’t spoil Mochi too much or she’d go into Susan withdrawal when she got home… and honestly, she did the next day! Susan is an absolute gem. We highly recommend her without hesitation and are so grateful she made Mochi’s first Rover stay such a happy and memorable one.”
“Shipra took great care of my dog Casey. She tried to understand her by asking about her detailed routine ahead of time. She genuinely cared about her and made sure she ate properly and asked questions so she was well taken care of. I received update photos and felt assured Casey was comfortable and enjoyed her stay under her care. I can't thank enough for Shipra and her lovely family for giving Casey a home away from home.”
“Our dog Marley’s stay with Maya was great! Maya kept us very well informed and sent lots of pictures. Maya was very accommodating and flexible when our travel plans unexpectedly changed. We will happily leave Marley in Maya’s care again in the future. 😊🐾”
“I give Monisa and David our highest recommendation for dog boarding. We had our 2 dogs boarded with them for 10 days. We had never left our dogs with anyone for that length of time so we had some nerves but after our initial meet & greet with Monisa and David, we felt so at ease and confident. All communication leading up to the boarding, during and for pick up was clear, easy and straightforward. Monisa also provided photos and videos throughout their stay, and our dogs’ coats looked better when we picked them up than before we dropped them up😂. We had a great vacation and so did our dogs 😊”
“Lexie was well understood and well cared for. I couldn’t have asked for more! Our dog is a tricky one with senior issues but Trisha and her family knew just how to address her difficulties and make her happy and comfortable. She fit right in with their family! I’m very grateful to Trish and I highly recommend her.”
“Lili and Matt did such a wonderful job watching our pooch. A+! Lili provided us with photos and video updates. Gave our dog (Koa) so much care and attention. I would definitely use them again. Thank you Lili & Matt.”
“We highly recommend Yu-Shu! Yu-Shu and her family took great care of our dog, Max. She communicated regularly while we were gone with pictures and videos of him. She was able to deal with his diet restrictions. He appeared to have a great time playing with her children and going for walks. We almost felt bad picking him up and taking him away from them. Haha. We will definitely be asking Yu-Shu to watch Max in the future!”
“Being a first time user of Rover. I was feeling skeptical on using a dog sitter that wasn't recommended or known. As a pet owner, you worry about who you trust to watch your pet. I researched and chose Clare after reading her reviews. My skepticism went away when Clare suggested a meet and greet to make sure my dog felt comfortable at her house with her dog Clare was great. She took interest in my dog and wanting to know more about her. Clare is very caring and maintains a very safe and clean environment for the dogs. We ended up booking with Clare and my dog was so well taken care of. Clare welcomed my dog as if it was her own, she took pictures and kept me posted on how she was doing, and the best part my dog was happy to be there with Clare! I have already rebooked with Clare and highly recommend her!”
About: Here’s a professional English version: Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals has been part of my life for many years. I structure my schedule around feeding, walks, playtime, and rest periods, and I make sure each pet receives consistent attention, companionship, and monitoring throughout the day. I especially prioritize routine, comfort, and safety, particularly for senior pets, to ensure they feel secure and well cared for at all times. I have a fenced yard and safe and big space of home. In my home, I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment tailored to each dog’s needs. I follow their regular feeding, walking, and medication schedules closely, offer plenty of attention and gentle playtime, and ensure they feel comfortable and secure. I have special experience caring for senior dogs, including monitoring health, mobility, and emotional well-being, and I treat every dog as if they were my own family member.
“Veronica and her family were amazing! I was in from out of town and had a last minute change of plans and she watched my puppy and I knew he was in good hands as soon as I met her! She sent pictures and pupdates and even took my puppy to the beach! She was a lifesaver and I would definitely trust her to watch my dog again!”
“We were thankful for Lauren's help in taking care of our two pups for three weeks; she was easy to communicate with, sent us regular updates and photos. When our flight got cancelled, she was super flexible and accommodating.”
“Kona had a fun time with An and her family! We appreciated the many photos and videos she shared of Kona’s visit. She took good care of Kona. We would absolutely book with An again!”
“Zhengfang was a great dog sitter! My Mushu was very comfortable with her and her home. She sent daily updates along with pics and videos. Mushu will be staying with her again next month. Highly recommend!”
“Linh and Torrey took great care of Willis our 14 yr old boxer. I would highly recommend them caring for your fur baby. I wouldn't hesitate to have them care for Willis again and hope they are available for our next trip!!!”
“Oh my gosh- thank goodness for Dakota and Jaclyn!!! They were AMAZING caretakers for our young girl! We were worried to leave her for over a week as she was only 4 months but they were so great at supporting her and went above and beyond! They dealt with accidents and her initial nerves with care and patience. We got regular pix and updates to keep our family connected with her. We are so grateful and would highly recommend them!”

“Mitchell did an amazing job taking care of my cats. He is extremely responsible, reliable, and genuinely caring. He followed all feeding instructions carefully, kept everything clean and organized, and made sure my cats were comfortable and well taken care of. He also provided timely updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. My cats can be shy, but they warmed up to him quickly, which really shows his patience and love for animals！”
About: I have been taking care of cats since I was very young. Cats have a particularly special place in my heart and I love every cat dearly. I enjoy seeing all the different personalities that cats have and their curiosity for the world around them. Neighbors, friends, and family have all trusted me with their cats whether they were newborn kittens or older felines.

“Hailey was very communicative and friendly. She was very comfortable with our cats, which made us confident in leaving them in her care. She's professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“Isabel was wonderful and took great care of my kitties. She even helped get my automatic litter box working again when it decided to stop midway through our trip. She went above and beyond and I highly recommend!”
“We booked a sitter through Rover for the first time for a long time period and were a little nervous about leaving Missy alone, but Xiaoyu was absolutely wonderful. From the very beginning, she made sure Missy felt comfortable, loved, and well cared for. Xiaoyu followed all the instructions we discussed and truly went above and beyond to make sure Missy didn’t miss us. After just a few visits, it was clear that Missy looked forward to seeing her, which gave us so much peace of mind. I would highly recommend Xiaoyu to anyone looking for a dedicated, trustworthy, and caring sitter—and a true friend—for their fur baby. 🐾💛”
About: I cannot WAIT for the day that I can adopt my own little kitty, and I would love the chance to spend some time with yours! Although I never owned a cat in my youth (sadly my mom is allergic), I had the amazing opportunity to live with two adorable cats, Howard and Gus, that belonged to my roommate which I loved as my own. Prior, I also have taken care of a clients cat (both drop ins and overnight visits), which was a great experience that I enjoyed so much! I would love to hang out and take care of your kitty (or kitties), and play around with them, feed them, give belly rubs, or just hang out and adore them!
About: When I was younger I always thought being a single crazy cat lady was insane until I grew older and realized that is the dream😂 I absolutely adore cats they are definitely my favorite animal in the world. Whether your cat is friendly, shy, or spicy I know how to handle all. My friends call me the cat whisperer whenever we go out and I manage to pet the cat no one can pet. Even though I don’t have my own cat at this moment, I will always treat your cat like my own 😇
“Emily is a great catsitter & my cat was very comfortable with her. Emily took care every detail and was communicative with updates, photos, and even a video. My kitty is in good hands with Emily!”
“Cigdem took care of our little smokey as if he was hers!!! She sent me morning and evening pics and gave Smokey the best of cuddles!!! So refreshing to know he was in such good hands. Highly recommend ❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“Alison is such a sweet person. This is my first time asking for a cat sitter, and it couldn't go any better. Everything was smooth and Alison took care of my 2 cats while I was away for few days. She responds quickly to messages and she offered to come for meet and greet and agreed to have it on a weekend before I traveled. Thanks for making it easy Alison!”

I’m comfortable administering medication if needed and always make sure each cat feels safe and loved. I can care for your cat at your home so they can stay comfortable in their own space.

We keep all food and loose items out of reach from him, as he is naturally curious.

“Kim is amazing, her house is beautiful, her two dogs are very well behaved, and I could not be happier with her services! She is very professional (knows a lot about dog training), communicates nicely, and my dog was better behaved when I picked her up than when I dropped her off!”
“Sammy had a great time with Ash! He has separation anxiety so it can be hard for us to feel comfortable leaving him, but Ash took the time to answer all our questions and let us look around at the meet and greet. Sammy was so happy to see her for his first daycare and came back happy and relaxed! We look forward to more visits 💕”

About: Growing up, I always had a lot of love for animals and had many different pets from fishes, birds, guinea pig, and dogs.

“Susan was wonderful with Charlie! This was our first time using Rover, so I was a little nervous leaving him with someone new, but Susan immediately put us at ease. She is such a sweet and caring person, and Charlie warmed up to her quickly. Susan sent updates and adorable photos throughout the day, took Charlie on walks, gave him lots of attention, and made sure he was safe and comfortable in her home. She was very responsive, accommodating, and asked thoughtful questions about Charlie’s routine and preferences. Her calm, loving energy truly stood out❤️ Charlie came home happy and relaxed, and I absolutely trust Susan to watch him again. She is reliable, kind, patient, and cares for pets like family. I highly recommend Susan to anyone looking for a sitter who will give their dog the love and care they deserve.”

I’m learning they are VERY popular with other pup parents, so booking early is important. Thanks for a perfect first stay for Shaka!!”

“Tom took the time for an introduction before booking to meet our dog and learn about her needs and quirks. He has been very patient with her and has given her the time she needs to warm up to him. He communicates concerns well, so that we can reach a mutually agreeable plan and sends status updates proactively. We’ve been pleased with his walking services so far and would recommend!”

I’ve worked with different such as livestock (horses, goats, sheep, cows) and your typical domesticated pet. I currently don’t have any pets of my own, so having the opportunity to watch someone else’s pet brings me tremendous joy. I currently work full time at a vet hospital Tuesday-Saturdays so it is really nice to be able to come home after work to something warm and fluffy. While in a clients home I always check out the home first so I can feel comfortable and see all possible exits. For pets to gain my trust I always let them sniff me first and treat them as if they were mine. I give them space when they need it. I have high respect for an owners home as well and treat it as if it were my home.
About: The day my best friend Lucca (tiny little Norwich Terrier) came home, I knew I would have a best friend for life.

I have extensive experience caring for senior pets who might need a bit more attention. I am currently home from UCSC this summer so have very open availability for providing services. Additionally, I have my own vehicle so there are no time constraints in scheduling. I will be able to crate your pets if needed, but if they prefer a cuddle I will happily oblige! Have a pet with lots of energy? We can do long walls or monitored off leash play if that’s what they are used to !
About: I currently focus exclusively on dog walking and bring a calm, safety-first approach to every visit. As a nursing student and part-time consultant, I’m used to following instructions closely, paying attention to small details, and communicating clearly — all of which help me provide dependable, thoughtful care. While I don’t have a dog of my own, I’ve spent plenty of time around dogs through friends and family and genuinely enjoy being around them. I’m mindful of leash control, surroundings, and each dog’s comfort level, and I take the time to learn what works best for every individual dog. I always prioritize meet-and-greets so both you and your dog feel comfortable before we get started. During walks, I keep things structured but relaxed — never rushed — with attention to pacing, safety, and the environment. After each walk, you can expect a clear update so you know how everything went. My goal is for you to feel confident knowing your dog is in attentive, responsible hands, and for your dog to enjoy a calm, positive walk every time. I currently work part-time remotely and take most of my classes online, which allows me a flexible schedule to provide reliable dog walks throughout the week. On weekdays, I am available in the mornings and early afternoons, and weekends are fully open, allowing for multiple walks if needed. Because of my flexible routine, I can provide consistent, punctual, and attentive walks, always following the owner’s instructions and making sure each dog gets safe, unrushed time outdoors. I plan my schedule carefully to accommodate both pets and owners, and I always leave buffer time between walks to ensure punctuality and reliability. During every dog walk, I prioritize safety, trust, and a controlled environment. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, keep the dog securely leashed at all times, and stay aware of surroundings, other dogs, and traffic. I pay close attention to each dog’s body language, energy level, and comfort, adjusting the pace and distance accordingly. I also communicate clearly with owners before and after each walk, providing updates or photos so they know their dog is safe and happy. I plan walks with buffer time to avoid rushing, and I make sure the dog’s comfort and well-being are the top priority from start to finish.
About: I have owned dogs since I was 10 years old and cats since the mid 1970's. I have cared for, fed, walked, played with not only my own, but for friends and neighbors as well. I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to walk and care for your pets. Mid-mornings to early afternoons some days, all day on other days. I am currently not available to care for your pets in my home due to having 3 dogs and 2 cats already. Anything can change in the future though.
About: I’ve had animals my entire life and have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I’m comfortable working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities—from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra care. I also have experience with cats and other critters, and I currently have all three myself, so I understand their unique needs and behaviors. I’ve worked alongside professional dog trainers, which has helped me build strong handling skills and better understand training, behavior, and safety. In addition, I’ve volunteered with animal shelters, giving me experience with a wide variety of temperaments and situations. I treat every pet like my own—making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your pets! I offer open availability for drop-in visits and dog walks throughout the day, making it easy to accommodate your pet’s schedule, I keep my calendar as up to date as possible as well marking any days I will not be available. For the comfort and safety of all pets, I provide care in your home rather than mine. I’m more than happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you provide to ensure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for in their own environment. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic care, or just giving extra love and attention, I treat every home and pet with the same respect and care as my own.
About: Hi! My name is Renee, and my passion for animal care began with my rescue dog, Brownie. Over the past 3 years, I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and even goats & farm animals of all ages, temperaments, and care needs. I have experience with: • Puppies, senior dogs, kittens, and multi-pet households • Large dogs (80+ lbs) and working breeds • Rescue dogs and reactive dogs • Administering oral medications Some of my previous pet care experience includes: • Caring for a Shiba Inu requiring oral medication for 1.5 months • Dog sitting 4 dogs from the same household for 3 weeks • Caring for 2 cats and 1 kitten from the same household for 1 month • Walking, jogging and hiking with dogs • Volunteering with Furry Friends Rescue and Muttville Senior Dog Rescue I’m especially comfortable working with rescue and reactive dogs. My own dog has reactivity challenges, so I understand the importance of patience and picking up on body language before a reaction happens. While I’m not a certified trainer, I’m happy to reinforce any training methods or routines you already use with your dog. My approach to pet care is centered around respect for each animal’s individual personality and boundaries. I prioritize clear communication and provide frequent updates and photos so owners feel informed and reassured while they’re away. I love meeting new dogs and cats and learning about their quirks, and I hope to meet your furry friend(s) soon! I understand my profile is new, so I don’t have as many testimonials. I have done work exchanges in the past on Workaway and WWOOF, and have attached those reviews as screenshots. You can also request references from me. I will be fully available for the entire month of August 2026 for any of your pet care needs, including drop-ins, walks, and overnight care. I take the time to get to know each dog by asking lots of questions and observing their personality and play style. I love playing with dogs, my own dog often mistakes me for one because I match his energy! Working with reactive dogs has taught me that every dog has their own boundaries and unique personality. I never treat one dog the same as another and am always respectful of your pet’s limits.
About: A Housesitter across North America for several years now, I have built a wealth of experience with a variety of animals and homes . I worked as a dog sitter and walker in NYC for five years, raised my own puppy from 8 weeks old. Then traveled to the West, housesitting my way across the country from VA to CA, OR and CO. I provide daily photo and video updates of your pets and can make framed prints available to order. I have had pets in the home since I was a child, including birds and hamsters as well as cats, kittens and dogs. I am currently looking for summer work, having worked as a Ski Instructor all winter in Arapahoe Basin. When housesitting, it is my principal job and priority. I do not currently offer care for a pet in my home, unless of course, they are happy living and traveling in my Class C motorhome.
“Isabel was great with my two large dogs! She took time out of her day to do a meet and greet and was very helpful in making sure the dogs were taken care of! Looking forward to booking more walks with her!”
About: Hello, my family and I are huge animal lovers. We have been pet sitting for for a little over 3 of years now. We travel for long periods so don't have our own pets. This is why when your pet comes to our house, he/she will get spoiled with attention. We try and keep animals that are smaller than 50-55 lbs so they can enjoy free space in the house. I sometimes work at a school so my weekday calendar is usually blocked . Dogs will get lots of exercise when they're with us. about every 2 hours. They are allowed up on the sofa so come cuddle with us. Looking forward to meeting your fur family. I work at a school part time. So daytime usually they will hang out with my husband who works from home. Then afternoon onwards, myself and my two extremely gentle and sweet teen kids will be home to give the pet our undecided attention. Our house is fully fenced all around and pets will always be inside the house unless they want to sun bathe in the back yard.

“Kimberly was a great sitter for my dog, Friday. I was worried about how anxious my dog would get during Halloween, but she made sure he was comfortable and in a quiet space. I really appreciate her updates and the videos of our dogs playing together. Thanks, Kimberly!”
“Our dog Marley’s stay with Maya was great! Maya kept us very well informed and sent lots of pictures. Maya was very accommodating and flexible when our travel plans unexpectedly changed. We will happily leave Marley in Maya’s care again in the future. 😊🐾”
“I give Monisa and David our highest recommendation for dog boarding. We had our 2 dogs boarded with them for 10 days. We had never left our dogs with anyone for that length of time so we had some nerves but after our initial meet & greet with Monisa and David, we felt so at ease and confident. All communication leading up to the boarding, during and for pick up was clear, easy and straightforward. Monisa also provided photos and videos throughout their stay, and our dogs’ coats looked better when we picked them up than before we dropped them up😂. We had a great vacation and so did our dogs 😊”
“Lexie was well understood and well cared for. I couldn’t have asked for more! Our dog is a tricky one with senior issues but Trisha and her family knew just how to address her difficulties and make her happy and comfortable. She fit right in with their family! I’m very grateful to Trish and I highly recommend her.”
“We highly recommend Yu-Shu! Yu-Shu and her family took great care of our dog, Max. She communicated regularly while we were gone with pictures and videos of him. She was able to deal with his diet restrictions. He appeared to have a great time playing with her children and going for walks. We almost felt bad picking him up and taking him away from them. Haha. We will definitely be asking Yu-Shu to watch Max in the future!”
“We were thankful for Lauren's help in taking care of our two pups for three weeks; she was easy to communicate with, sent us regular updates and photos. When our flight got cancelled, she was super flexible and accommodating.”
“Linh and Torrey took great care of Willis our 14 yr old boxer. I would highly recommend them caring for your fur baby. I wouldn't hesitate to have them care for Willis again and hope they are available for our next trip!!!”
“Ms Carolyn is the best! She kept us updated with our baby boy Kimo. Sending us pictures and even walked him to the park. We definitely will be seeing Ms Carolyn again if she’ll have him.”
“Sameer was great! This was our first time with him so we didn't know what to expect. He took our dog in at short notice, took great care of her, kept us posted on how she was doing, and sent some great pics (clearly my dog was having to much fun). Will definitely use him again!”
“Robert did a wonderful job watching our dogs, Toby and Heidi! They stayed with Robert for a couple of nights and loved running around his beautiful yard with other pups. Robert is great at reading our dog’s temperament and they both seemed very happy at his home. He sent a bunch of pics which was so nice as we could see they were settling in and making friends. We look forward to using him again in July.”
“This was Wonder’s second stay, and she was happy to see Alyssa and Buster again! She seemed to have had a good time. Alyssa was flexible on drop-off and pickup times when our plans changed. Thanks!”
“Svetlana and her husband were amazing once again! We felt so at ease knowing Mocha was staying with them. They truly loved on her as if she was their own which made us so happy! We got frequent updates and Mocha came back rested and happy.”
“Ash was too awesome in taking care of our dogs. They are anxious dogs and had few poop/pee accidents as well. Ash was too nice to take care of those and also awesome with regular updates and pics. We are fortunate to have good 4 days good trip without any worries.”
“My pup seemed to be right at home the first day. They took such good care of her. I would recommend to anyone. Thank you again for making such a stressful time one less thing to worry about :)”
“. Dyan and family have been wonderful with caring for our 13 Lb Bichon, Lola. Lots of pics, videos, and texts. We feel confident she is being well cared for. Easy to work with, flexible and on time. We definitely do recommend her.”
“couldn’t be happier with the care Jita provided for my pup. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly treated my pup like her own. I got regular updates and photos, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter.”
