“Taylor and Andrew spoiled Rafi! They gave her extra treats, made sure she ate, gave her run of their home and yard, took her for walks, and gave her affection. They were good about providing updates and sent photos. Rafi was with them for 2 wks., and when I picked her up I witnessed her seek attention and affection from them, she interacted well with their dogs, and had no initial interest in my return. I recommend them and will definitely use them again. I couldn’t be more pleased. Thank you!”
“My dog Mele recently spent 10 days or so with Madison and Moses. They regularly sent me photos of her, sometimes playing with other dogs. She seemed happy and healthy when I picked her up.”
“20/10!! Savannah took amazing care of our pups!! Especially when it came to giving my one pup her eyedrops daily. She took the best photos and I could tell the pups had a great time! 100% recommend and would have our pups stay with her again!”
“Whitney is kind with great communication. It seems she took very good care of my girls and that makes me happy. I searched for the perfect sitter for months before booking Whitney and I’m happy to say I’ll continue to hire her. Thank you!”
“Super grateful for Jasmine! She took a last minute booking for our dog over the holiday weekend so we could visit family. Communication was great, and our dog came home happy and well cared for. Will definitely use them again in the future.”
About: I grew up on a farm with many animals. We have raised our girls with many pets including: chickens, bunnies, several foster and adopted dogs, and rescuing cats that would have been euthanized to live on our farm. We have 1 acre of fully fenced yard in a cozy community. We recently had to put down our sweet pit bull and are looking to opening up our homes to care for others pets at this time. We have a lot of love to give and would appreciate your consideration. I work from home so I am available all day and night excluding of course picking up kids and family activities. We have 4 daughters, 2 of which have graduated high school and in college, 1 going into high school and a 9 year old. They have all had extensive experience with many animals and been involved with agriculture in their middle and high schools. We presently have 2 cats (one of which is fully outdoor and one that comes in at night to sleep). We understand that many individuals have cats that are fully indoor and we have ample space, beds and furniture for your cat to feel comfortable. We are also BIG dog people and missing our sweet pit bull. We have a great neighborhood for taking walks, a 1 acre fully fenced yard for running and playing in. We will keep all cats indoors at all times. We will have any animals that stay with us in our home at night and have dogs go out frequently to play.
“Kaitlin and Verle took great care of Clover again! When Clover arrived at their house for this stay, she was SO excited to see them and ran inside to play immediately. She didn’t even look back at us when we left. We’re so happy and reassured by how much she loves staying with them. Kaitlin and Verle were very communicative and flexible also. We have already booked Clover’s next stay with them for our next trip.”
“Our dog had a great stay with Adriana. Their backyard is perfect for energetic dogs, with a lot of space to run, jump, and play. We appreciated the fun photo and video updates while we were away.”
“Mark and his son were really awesome with our dog, Thor. We booked a 10 day stay, and Mark provided consistent updates on how Thor was doing. They walked him regularly and played with him often, and they have a great home with a back yard Thor could enjoy. I felt comfortable and confident leaving my fur baby with them!”
“Marwa was great with our rescue corgi. We were apprehensive about leaving our dog with a sitter so soon after adopting her, but as soon as we met Marwa our anxieties were eased. She was great about providing us photos, videos, and updates about our sweet girl. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again for our pet sitting needs.”
“Terri is a true animal lover. She cared for my dog Lucy over the weekend. She took Lucy for plenty of walks and even took her to the lake a couple times. Baked her some dog treats and even sent her home with a batch. Plenty of pictures. We are very pleased.”
“Cristina and her family are the best! We have done day care but now have also left our lil man with her for 3 nights while we were out of town. Today we sat talked and our baby was happy and excited to see us and also so happy with where he stayed. She is the only one for our family!!”
“Linda took wonderful care of my dog, Nicky. While Nicky was with her, we felt completely at ease. She kept us updated with photos, which meant a lot to us and showed how much attention and care she gives. Linda also took the time to get to know both us and Nicky, which made the experience even more personal and reassuring. I would absolutely recommend Linda and would trust her again to take care of my dog in the future.”
“I wish there was an option to give 10 stars because Dustin and Crystal deserve it! They took amazing care of my senior beagle who requires a lot more attention because of her age. They loved on her and made sure she was comfortable. I got daily updates and photos which was so reassuring that my dog was having a great time. Best of all, I let them know that my dog would having her 16th birthday while she was with them. They went above and beyond to celebrate my pup with treats, doggy ice cream, and even sang happy birthday to her! I am completely blown away at the amazing care they gave my dog. I will rebook with them in a heartbeat.”
“Pilar was absolutley wonderful with my sweet Lulu😊 She was kind and accomodating and took such great care of my pup. It gave me great peace of mind while i was away as she kept me updated the whole time! 10/10 i will for sure be back.”
“Nate, Ray, and their fur babies were awesome! We have since moved from Florida, but if I was local, we would love to book again! Thank you for your great babysitting of my puppy!”
“I recently boarded my two dogs, Zuko and Dante, with Kirsten for two weeks and couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the start, she was attentive and caring, making sure to follow their daily routine so well that when I picked them up, they slipped right back into it without any trouble. This really showed how consistent and thoughtful she was with their care. Zuko requires daily medication, and Kirsten made sure he received every dose right on time, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She also kept me updated with pictures throughout their stay, and it was easy to see how happy and comfortable both Zuko and Dante were with her. It’s always a little nerve-wracking leaving your pets, but Kirsten made it such a stress-free experience. I could tell my boys were in good hands the entire time. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their pets!”

“Victoria was amazing with our cat! She was prompt and came at the same time everyday to feed and play with our girl. I got tons of videos/photos, along with very detailed notes about how she was and how the visits went. I will definitely rebook with her in the future and encourage you to reach out to her for your fur babies! Thank you so so much again for everything!”
About: With 13 years of cat care experience, I am deeply familiar with feline behavior across all life stages. From the high energy of raising kittens to the delicate, specialized needs of senior cats, I handle every personality with patience. I am fully confident administering medications in various forms and view routine tasks like deep-cleaning litter boxes as a breeze. Whether your cat craves engaging playtime and mental stimulation or simply needs a calm, reassuring presence while you are away, I adapt completely to their comfort level.
“Kaitlyn did a great job watching my cat for me while I was gone for a while. He was happy and healthy when I returned. I received photos twice daily when she checked in and it was great!”
“I don’t know why Kathy doesn’t have any reviews because she’s the best! This is saying a lot for someone who doesn’t usually leave reviews. I booked her for a week while my family and I went on a vacation out of state. She is very honest, transparent, communicative, attentive, patient, and thorough with her care of our 3 cats. Not only did she make sure my cats are well-nourished and attended for, she also respected my house rules (for our privacy) which I greatly appreciate. Will definitely book her again. Thank you very much, Kathy!”
“Jordan was amazing! Our cat was clearly very well attended to, and it showed. Never before have we gone on a trip and NOT been violently accosted upon entering our home. Ginger is usually not satisfied until she has drawn my blood, and she is instead purring and headbutting me lovingly. Only affection from this fuzzy demon, which means she was well looked after.”
“We were fortunate to have Trinity come to our house each morning for almost 3 weeks to care for our two cats. It was best to keep the cats at home and comfortable in their routines rather than traveling to a facility. Trinity checked in each morning and sent pics to me from each visit and that helped put me at ease. All went well and when we travel again, I wouldn’t hesitate to contact River and ask for Trinity again. Thanks Trinity!”
“We absolutely love Mariela! She is dependable, whether it be for a single visit or multiple days while we are out of town. She sends a summary, including several pictures, after each visit. My family loves to see the proof of life photos! Honestly, I can’t say enough about Mariela. If you are considering who to have care for your pet, she should be the top on your list.”
“Loren is amazing. Every day she sent photos and messages about my cats. She gave me peace of mind that my animals were in the best of care. So important, when you're away. Plus, she went over and beyond my expectations. Thank you, Loren.”
“From the start Shelby and Dalton made us feel so comfortable leaving our lil fur babies in their care. They came to our place 2x a day. This was our first time doing this and they will be the only sitters we go with. They were amazing with jinx and pumpkin, so much that our lil anxious rescues started going up to her on day 2! She sent pictures every visit with updates on them. We can’t say enough great things about them.”
About: Hello! My name is Angelina and I’ve had cats my whole life! I’ve definitely seen it all from having to give insulin shots to inhalers to mood shifts from family members leaving to the service. So I’d love to say I’m well versed in the craziness of cats. I’m big on love and snacks along with if your baby needs any medications while she’s here. You can count on me! Best, Angelina Darling
“Maureen is beyond helpful, kind and knowledgeable when it came to taking care of my cat Kolo. I received very detailed updates on how he was doing and many useful pieces of information to better take care and make him more comfortable. Maureen really went out of her way to make Kolo feel comfortable, and even brought him toys, treats and a gift that I will cherish for a long time. I will be using her services again and feel very blessed to have had her take care of my cat. Would highly recommend to anyone!!”
“5++++++ Star!! Alexis is an amazing caregiver!! Even my shy house Panther came out to see her! Alexis sent lots of photos during every visit, played with the kitties and put my mind at ease. It's never easy to leave our babies for any extended period of time, but Alexis put me at ease!! My babies were in great hands!”

About: Being raised in the rural parts of El Cajon, with my mom being apart of the AKC- American Kennel Club, I spent a lot of time around animals. Learning at a young age how to properly interact with dogs. I have walked up to three small dogs at the same time that belonged to my land-lord of 5 years. Even though these three dogs were considered aggressive toward other people, they loved and trusted me and I loved them back. I enjoy being around small animals and spending quality time with them. I am retired from the County of San Diego where I worked for 16 years. I am very flexible, reliable and punctual. I am looking forward to meeting you and your fur babies.

“My little man Brady absolutely loved his time with Lucy and Stella. Huge thanks to Taylor and Andrew I can’t say enough good things! Being able to be absent without the stress of his well being is priceless. This was our first time using Rover and couldn’t be happier. We will absolutely be back sooner than later!”
About: Hi! I'm new to the Rover app, but I'm not new to caring for animals. I've always had a natural connection with animals and they seem to gravitate toward me wherever I go. I’m a stay at home mom of a 3 and 5 year old so I am always home and always active and my fiance is home while I run errands. We have a decent size fenced yard where your animal can get some energy out while staying safe. I truly believe animals are family, and I care for every pet as if they were my own child. I'm highly communicative, reliable, and genuinely empathetic. I pay close attention to each pet's unique personality and needs, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or just having a calm companion, I'll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member. That's why I'll keep you updated with plenty of photos, videos, and messages throughout each visit, so you always know how your pet is doing and can enjoy those special moments even while you're apart. If you're a busy family looking for a dependable dog walker or pet sitter who will treat your pet with patience, kindness, and lots of love, I'd be honored to help. I can't wait to meet you and your best friend! I am a mom of two girls. I have a flexible schedule and I’m willing to do whatever’s necessary to make sure your pet is taken care of. I’m a hair stylist on weekends and I love when people bring their dogs to their appointments. Rover is great way for me to play with animals, get some exercise, and make some extra income. Just message me 😊 I make sure the dog goes outside to use the bathroom . Make sure the food and water bowl is always fresh and full. Engage and play with your pet. Chill, lay down, and watch tv together. I absolutely love playing tug of war with dogs so make sure to pack that toy in their overnight bag LOL.

“Shelby and Dalton are the best! They are so responsive and accommodating!! Literally lifesavers, I work really long hours and my husband, who usually watches our dog during the day, had to travel for work last minute. Shelby and Dalton agreed to watch my pup on one of my long days and were so understanding and flexible when I had to pick her up later in the evening - truly I don’t know what I would’ve done without them! They treated her as if she were their own and she LOVED playing with their sweet pup and cuddling with one of the cats, and I got lots of updates and pictures throughout the day. I couldn’t recommend them enough, I will definitely be taking her back to hangout and play with her new best friends!”
“I’m Very Happy with Ben & Luke they are awsome sitters 💙My LEXI gets excited knowing she’s going with her friends 🙌🏼once Lexi is with them they send Very cute 🥰 pictures of her and she looks super happy !!! I HIGHLY Recommend them!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼”
“Madison & Moses are awesome! So easy to communicate with and both have a great, calm energy that was perfect for helping my shy, anxious, rescue pittie feel right at home. It’s clear they’re both well-versed in dog behavior and I appreciate that they met my dog right where she was at. They had no issues giving her the time, space and patience needed to open up in her own time - it made all the difference. Thankful to have found them!”
“Saddaf is so sweet and quick to respond. She really helped out when I was in a pinch for a day sitter. Her timely coordination made me feel at ease and my dog felt comfortable right away.”
“I have never seen my dog get so excited to go anywhere but Cameron and Adriana’s home. They are the kindest family, and it makes such a difference knowing he is in a good/safe environment when I am at work. Their entire backyard is a dogs playground! Cannot say enough good stuff about them.”
About: Growing up I have always had dogs on the property and consider them part of the family. I believe a well trained dog is loved by its owner. I am an animal lover who want to help those who have a hard time with placement. I enjoy spending time with other people's pets because I am unable to have one for myself at this time. I am currently retired so I have time to spend with them daily. I can take them to parks, beach, lakes, etc. Depends on breed and how active they are. I have aquariums, reptiles and my extended family has dogs that I am frequently around. I have had exotic, elderly, injured and sick pets in my care. I foster for the Humane Society periodically and adjust my home according to the pets needs.

“As a mom of a toy senior fur baby who’s almost 17, it’s always worrisome when she’s not in my care with her growing list of health issues and how fragile she is. But luckily I found Eden who is amazing and has the kindest, most loving energy! Her love for dogs is apparent and shows in how she cares for both her own and mine. ❤️ She carefully asked all the appropriate questions, gave me a tour of her place (along with a separate living area perfect for small dogs; connected to a dog door and outdoor dog run) and updated me throughout the stay with pictures and quickly answered any questions I had. Thanks again Eden, you’re a lifesaver and I look forward to future bookings with you! 🐶 ❤️🫶🏻”

“Berenice is amazing! She took great care of my pup and I am so grateful to her! He enjoyed spending time at her house with other doggies and her kids. She sent me photos and the report. She also got me a really nice card with his paw for Mother's Day! What a great thought! She just went above and beyond. I would recommend her for sure and will be using her services again in the future when in town.”

About: I am not a professional dog sitter or walker but I do have a dog of my own as of 2021. One of the best decisions of my life. My little furball, Jayla. Many friends and family have dogs from small to big that’ll let me care for them as if they were one of my children. They are fur babies after all! Walking, playing, feedings, and bathroom time become a pawsitive routine in my care and I’m here to help when or wherever needed. I work a part-time schedule, which gives me flexibility to fit pet care into my day. I’m able to work around my job and other responsibilities while still providing reliable and attentive care. I’m happy to coordinate with clients to find times that work well for both of us. When it comes to walking your dogs, or dropping in on your cats, I always make sure to bring their leash, some treats if allowed, poop bags and to be SAFE, we will cross from other animals, children or adults. You have to be prepared! Exploring the routes is a great way to bond and keep them active! I will definitely know the signs of your furbaby wanting relax or be given space. If you have a set feeding schedule, you would like me use before or after walks I will provide that service.
“My family and I highly recommend Alexis and Adam as dog walkers! They walked my two German Shepherd mixes early in the morning for 16 consecutive days for an hour each while we were on vacation. Always on time, always submitting report cards with photos and the route they walked. On top of that, my dogs, who are rescues with shyness or aggression toward strangers AND severe dog reactivity on walks, LOVED Lex and Adam! As a professional dog trainer and walker myself, I’m extremely careful with people who interact with my dogs, and Lex and Adam exceeded my expectations! It’s clear to me that they take caring for their clients’ dogs seriously and both are extremely nice and personable. Thank you Lex and Adam!!”

About: Ive taken care of dogs and cats since I was very young! I grew up fostering animals and taking care of our own. I am great with dogs of all sizes and breeds, but have a special love for big breeds as ive had akitas most of my life! I worked at petsmart for 2 years, so I got to work with dogs, cats, and exotics nearly every day! I also have a variety of animals of my own, including a rabbit, a gecko, and some tree frogs! I have a very fun home🏡☺️ I also have some light experience with grooming and lots of bathing experience! I currently work as a respite care worker for individuals with disabilities, so my schedule is very variable!😊 I schedule week by week so please feel free to send me a request! Best days to reach out ahead of time for me are Sundays and Mondays as I usually don’t have my week fully scheduled out yet by then. 😊 I will always aim to provide a fun, safe, and enriching environment for your pet whether it’s a pop in visit, a walk or whatever your personal pet needs are!

“Taylor and Andrew spoiled Rafi! They gave her extra treats, made sure she ate, gave her run of their home and yard, took her for walks, and gave her affection. They were good about providing updates and sent photos. Rafi was with them for 2 wks., and when I picked her up I witnessed her seek attention and affection from them, she interacted well with their dogs, and had no initial interest in my return. I recommend them and will definitely use them again. I couldn’t be more pleased. Thank you!”
“My dog Mele recently spent 10 days or so with Madison and Moses. They regularly sent me photos of her, sometimes playing with other dogs. She seemed happy and healthy when I picked her up.”
“20/10!! Savannah took amazing care of our pups!! Especially when it came to giving my one pup her eyedrops daily. She took the best photos and I could tell the pups had a great time! 100% recommend and would have our pups stay with her again!”
“Super grateful for Jasmine! She took a last minute booking for our dog over the holiday weekend so we could visit family. Communication was great, and our dog came home happy and well cared for. Will definitely use them again in the future.”
About: I grew up on a farm with many animals. We have raised our girls with many pets including: chickens, bunnies, several foster and adopted dogs, and rescuing cats that would have been euthanized to live on our farm. We have 1 acre of fully fenced yard in a cozy community. We recently had to put down our sweet pit bull and are looking to opening up our homes to care for others pets at this time. We have a lot of love to give and would appreciate your consideration. I work from home so I am available all day and night excluding of course picking up kids and family activities. We have 4 daughters, 2 of which have graduated high school and in college, 1 going into high school and a 9 year old. They have all had extensive experience with many animals and been involved with agriculture in their middle and high schools. We presently have 2 cats (one of which is fully outdoor and one that comes in at night to sleep). We understand that many individuals have cats that are fully indoor and we have ample space, beds and furniture for your cat to feel comfortable. We are also BIG dog people and missing our sweet pit bull. We have a great neighborhood for taking walks, a 1 acre fully fenced yard for running and playing in. We will keep all cats indoors at all times. We will have any animals that stay with us in our home at night and have dogs go out frequently to play.
“Our dog had a great stay with Adriana. Their backyard is perfect for energetic dogs, with a lot of space to run, jump, and play. We appreciated the fun photo and video updates while we were away.”
“Mark and his son were really awesome with our dog, Thor. We booked a 10 day stay, and Mark provided consistent updates on how Thor was doing. They walked him regularly and played with him often, and they have a great home with a back yard Thor could enjoy. I felt comfortable and confident leaving my fur baby with them!”
“Terri is a true animal lover. She cared for my dog Lucy over the weekend. She took Lucy for plenty of walks and even took her to the lake a couple times. Baked her some dog treats and even sent her home with a batch. Plenty of pictures. We are very pleased.”
“Nate, Ray, and their fur babies were awesome! We have since moved from Florida, but if I was local, we would love to book again! Thank you for your great babysitting of my puppy!”
“I recently boarded my two dogs, Zuko and Dante, with Kirsten for two weeks and couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the start, she was attentive and caring, making sure to follow their daily routine so well that when I picked them up, they slipped right back into it without any trouble. This really showed how consistent and thoughtful she was with their care. Zuko requires daily medication, and Kirsten made sure he received every dose right on time, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She also kept me updated with pictures throughout their stay, and it was easy to see how happy and comfortable both Zuko and Dante were with her. It’s always a little nerve-wracking leaving your pets, but Kirsten made it such a stress-free experience. I could tell my boys were in good hands the entire time. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their pets!”
“Natasha was incredibly attentive to our 8 month old pup and communicated regular updates! I appreciated that she asked how frequently we wanted updates to help set expectations upfront. She made sure our pup was not just well taken care of but engaged and exercised regularly, plus she kept up with training which was a bonus. We even went through travel delays getting home and she was flexible to accommodate the extra time, it was great knowing our dog was taken care of and didn't add to the stress of travel. We would absolutely use Natasha again.”
“Samantha is AMAZING! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone. She kept me updated while I was gone, sent pictures, and truly cared for my pup like her own. I felt at ease while away!”
“Both me and my pup felt at ease from the moment we stepped into Corinne and Christopher's home. They are the nicest people and take great care of my girl ❤️”
“Mihaela was such an amazing sitter. She sent us the best updates with so much detail every time. Our puppy Ollie seemed so happy the whole time and when we picked him up he was very happy as well. We couldn’t be more thankful for Mihaela and how caring and thoughtful she was with our puppy!”
“Margaret and Kyle were great!! I was sent pictures and videos of how my dog was doing, they communicated regularly with me, and my dog had a great time! Will be using her again and would highly recommend.”
“Hana is amazing! She completely understood our two dogs even at the first meeting. We have a pit mix rescue who is scared of strangers and yet was so comfortable with Hana. Genuinely sweet and caring dog whisperer.”
“Sarah and her daughter were wonderful!!!!! They kept us updated with pictures of our baby. She seemed happy and at ease in the pictures. We highly recommend Sarah and will refer people.”
