“I’ve used rover for many years but Hugh & Mary were the best dog sitters I’ve ever had. They are fun loving people who genuinely care about your dog and that you are at ease while they are watching them. They have a great yard and will cuddle your dogs and play ball with them or whatever else they like! I got regular updates and upon pickup got a little gift from them. I will rebook if I’m ever in their area again (I was traveling and close by for a music festival). They are TOP NOTCH, probably the best couple on Rover!”
“I couldn't have asked for a better sitter for my terrier, Laidy. She has severe separation anxiety and becomes very depressed when she's away from me, so leaving her for a week was something I was really worried about. From the moment Laidy arrived, it was clear she was in caring and capable hands. Savannah was incredibly diligent, observant, and compassionate. She paid close attention to Laidy's needs, made sure she got plenty of walks, and did an amazing job helping manage her anxiety. Most importantly, she gave Laidy so much love and attention that she truly felt at home. The updates and care she provided gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I'm beyond grateful for the kindness and dedication Savannah showed my dog. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet like family.”
About: I can’t imagine living a life without being a dog mom. I’ve had dogs since my childhood and practically my entire adult life. I’ve had heartbreak from losing them because they were so loved. I’m retired and home mostly except for when I travel. I’m available to walk dogs and to play with them in fenced yard. I have a soft spot for all animals. My dog Holly is mostly an inside dog but always has access to fenced backyard through doggie door. The same would apply for any dogs I care for.
“Melissa was the absolute best. She took the best care of Kevin and went above and beyond to help me with logistics. Certainly our best experience on Rover so far. Thank you!”
“Edith was fantastic!! We left our 16 year old dog with her for a week and were super nervous because we were hundreds of miles away, but Edith gave us so much peace of mind and constantly sent us updates with pictures and videos! Our little dog looked so content and spoiled! I would highly recommend trusting your pets with Edith! Thank you so much!”
“I took the pups to visit a week before their stay and that was a great idea.Lacey had because when I took them back to stay for my vacation, they acted super comfortable Lacey sent me pictures which was super cool, because that made me feel comfortable. Definitely will use Lacey again for pup sitting ??❤️”
“Marinee and her family took fantastic care of our two pups! We were grateful to receive photos and updates while we were so far away. Our dogs came back happy and tired from their adventures. I would not hesitate to book again and would highly recommend. Thank you again!”
“Heather was awesome! My dog looked very happy the moment he arrived and when get got back he was tired from all the attention and activities he got to do! It was a safe and healthy environment that I would definitely recommend!”
“Ceasar is a rare find. A boarder and a trainer in one; it doesn't get better than that! My Australian shepherds were in great hands and I will use him again. 10/10 recommend.”
“Melanie took fantastic care of Bella! She sent updates with pictures and videos. I could see Bella spent quality time with Melanie and her kids and Bella being comfortable with them. Bella came home happy and tired! Highly recommend Melaine!”
“Katherine took a good care of our dog during his extended stay. She also sent pictures on daily basis so we felt at ease knowing that our dog is cared for. Thanks for bathing our dog and sending him home with some treats. You are such a wonderful person, Katherine. We won’t think twice about leaving our dog with you again. Highly recommended!!!!”
“Louella is an absolute dream of a dog sitter. She is so kind, sweet, gentle and friendly. She’s also responsible and has excellent communication skills. Her house and yard are beautiful and dog friendly. She took pictures of Bek and gave me updates (he always looked super happy and relaxed) which was great. I also felt like I could relax and be completely present on my vacation, which is a rare feeling when you have someone else looking after your pup. Can’t speak highly enough!”
“Larry took great care of our pet. This is my first time using a sitter instead of boarding and she was much happier and received his undivided attention. Lots of photos and great communication.”
“Erika was a beyond great sitter! She not only kept me updated but asked any necessary questions to make sure everything was an easy transition and did such an awesome job at trying to keep his schedule as consistent as possible. Thank you so much for everything !”
“Kelly was a fantastic sitter. She was available for me last minute and was very gracious and kind. She treated both of my dogs very well and I had no concerns during my time away. If you have the opportunity you should book with Kelly! I know I will the next time I need a dog sitter. Thank you Kelly!!”

As a devoted cat parent myself, I understand their unique needs and quirks. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure your kitty friend feels safe, comfortable, and loved!
About: I’ve had cats around a lot of my life but never my own until I was living on my own. My best friend who was a Vet Technician at the time called me frantic about a kitten whose family chose to put her down rather than take care of the leg their son broke. I rushed over immediately and cared for her myself. My temperamental Siamese. Flash forward to someone bringing me a stray tabby kitten and now I’m a mother of two crazy kitties! Trust me. I know how crazy it can get.
“5/5. Kimberley is fantastic. We’ve used her numerous times to take care of our two days and I’ve never had to worry that they are being taken care of and loved. She is an animal lover and it clearly shows. Thank you Kimberley!”
“First time Rover user that was initially very hesitant regarding the idea of having a 'stranger' watch my pup but front initial conversation, greet and meet, day of, and post service, Elizabeth was amazing to work with and made the entire process extremely easy and smooth as she puts her clients' needs first. As I was traveling to the area with an unknown schedule, Elizabeth was super flexible in scheduling, and extremely accommodating where she was willing to watch my pup at a different location than initially scheduled- was a HUGE blessing as my puppy is extremely sensitive to change and has a very high level of anxiety. Elizabeth sent a ton of photos and videos all day (I asked her to not hold back as it provides relief knowing my pup is doing well) which was greatly appreciated. Elizabeth is professional, understanding, accommodating, and truly has a heart for animals. Highly recommended!”

I am currently a dog trainer so I know how to care for dogs and their individual needs. My current dog has a lot of different medical needs as well. Depending on what the animal needs are, I make a specific care plan for them and follow it exactly. If it works, why change it? We always want what’s best for pets.

It was clear how much she genuinely cared, making sure Pringle was happy, comfortable, and well-loved the entire time. Knowing Pringle was in such great hands gave me so much peace of mind. I highly recommend Janeece to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and attentive pet sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with her again.”

“Moriah was able to take Marlow with short notice during our family crisis. She sent pictures and a video of Marlow having a great time, one less thing for me to worry about. Marlow had a great time running around the yard or resting inside out of he heat. Moriah was very flexible with my husband dropping her off and me picking her up. I would definately book with her again.”

“Johna made our trip to Joshua Tree so much fun!! It was awesome to be able to go hiking while knowing our two dogs were well taken care of.

I’ve helped raise several litters and rescue any dog I see in need. I have to actively stay off Facebook as to not fall into fostering or taking in any animal in need. My boyfriend calls me a Disney Princess with the way I communicate with my animals. It’s all about body language, respect, and patience. Trust is extremely important. I currently work a flexible schedule in my family owned business and am looking for side jobs that I also am passionate about. Any time that I’m needed I can usually make it work. I’m ready to follow and assist in whatever systems are set up in your family and household. Whatever your fur family is used to! Photos are VERY important and cherished.

I’m based in Big Bear and the Coachella Valley, and I know how important it is to find someone trustworthy, attentive, and loving when it comes to your pets. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality, routine, and needs.

About: I am currently a dog bather, used to be a dog trainer and have experience with multiple dog breeds and temperaments, I know how to approach timid dogs as well as puppies or older dogs. I am currently a dog trainer so I know how to care for dogs and their individual needs. My current dog has a lot of different medical needs as well. Depending on what the animal needs are, I make a specific care plan for them and follow it exactly. If it works, why change it? We always want what’s best for pets.

“I’ve used rover for many years but Hugh & Mary were the best dog sitters I’ve ever had. They are fun loving people who genuinely care about your dog and that you are at ease while they are watching them. They have a great yard and will cuddle your dogs and play ball with them or whatever else they like! I got regular updates and upon pickup got a little gift from them. I will rebook if I’m ever in their area again (I was traveling and close by for a music festival). They are TOP NOTCH, probably the best couple on Rover!”
“I couldn't have asked for a better sitter for my terrier, Laidy. She has severe separation anxiety and becomes very depressed when she's away from me, so leaving her for a week was something I was really worried about. From the moment Laidy arrived, it was clear she was in caring and capable hands. Savannah was incredibly diligent, observant, and compassionate. She paid close attention to Laidy's needs, made sure she got plenty of walks, and did an amazing job helping manage her anxiety. Most importantly, she gave Laidy so much love and attention that she truly felt at home. The updates and care she provided gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I'm beyond grateful for the kindness and dedication Savannah showed my dog. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet like family.”
About: I can’t imagine living a life without being a dog mom. I’ve had dogs since my childhood and practically my entire adult life. I’ve had heartbreak from losing them because they were so loved. I’m retired and home mostly except for when I travel. I’m available to walk dogs and to play with them in fenced yard. I have a soft spot for all animals. My dog Holly is mostly an inside dog but always has access to fenced backyard through doggie door. The same would apply for any dogs I care for.
“I took the pups to visit a week before their stay and that was a great idea.Lacey had because when I took them back to stay for my vacation, they acted super comfortable Lacey sent me pictures which was super cool, because that made me feel comfortable. Definitely will use Lacey again for pup sitting ??❤️”

“Katherine took a good care of our dog during his extended stay. She also sent pictures on daily basis so we felt at ease knowing that our dog is cared for. Thanks for bathing our dog and sending him home with some treats. You are such a wonderful person, Katherine. We won’t think twice about leaving our dog with you again. Highly recommended!!!!”

“The pictures Rachel B sent to Maria showed our Gracie frolicking and happy to be there. We appreciate the care Rachel demonstrated in keeping Gracie occupied while we were gone for 8 days. We will definitely ask Rachel to care for Gracie in the future.”
