She was incredibly kind, attentive, and made sure he felt comfortable and loved the entire time it gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. I would absolutely trust Devin again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”

“This was our first time using Rover and boarding our dog. Everything was so easy from start to finish. Erica and her husband were super sweet, sent us pics daily, took him on walks ect… looks like he had a great time away from home. I would definitely recommend Erica and her family to anyone else! Thanks again.”
“Jeana did well with my pups. She sent pictures thru the week. First time leaving my fur babies, I was a little anxious about leaving them but they seem happy when we pick them up.”
“Cristina was awesome! I have a very spoiled puppy that I had never left before, so I was really scared to leave him for a whole week and I was also afraid that he would be sad, but with Cristina’s care it turned out to be quite the opposite. She sent me daily pics and updates and he looked so happy in all the pictures, he had so much fun being with Cristina. Definitely recommend and will use her services again! Very pleased with how everything went!”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Lori and the care she has given my puppy, Frankie. From the moment I dropped him off, she made me feel completely comfortable and reassured that he was in great hands. She kept me updated daily with messages and pictures of his activities, and it was clear that Frankie was happy, relaxed, and truly enjoying himself — he looked like he was right at home. What meant the most to me was her kindness and flexibility during a very stressful time for me. I am currently in the hospital recovering from back surgery, and at the last minute my doctor told me I needed to stay another night. I reached out to Lori hoping it wouldn’t be a problem, and she immediately reassured me not to worry and that Frankie was perfectly fine staying another night. That simple kindness gave me so much peace of mind while I’m here recovering. Lori has been so attentive and loving with him — honestly, she spoiled him! It means the world to know that Frankie is being cared for and shown the same love and attention that I give him at home. I am incredibly grateful for Lori. Frankie absolutely has a permanent sitter whenever we need one in the future, and I would recommend her to anyone who wants their pet cared for like family.”

“Megan did an amazing job watching our dog! She sent us daily updates with photos and had great communication throughout the entire stay. Our dog loved it over there.”
“Michelle, I really appreciated the way you took care of my Big Boy Kilo. Thanks for all the photos that you sent tha showed me he was having fun with family. The icing on the cake was when I got home she had a card to Dana and Kilo and she thanked me for allowing him to come. That was Amazing touch. Thanks Michelle thanks for taking care of my baby❤️😍”
“Such a good sitter for my big pup! She was an immediate responder especially when I had her for an emergency rover sit. Its so obvious she cares so much about all of the dogs. Will be using her again!!”
“Susan is the best dog sitter anyone could ask for. Our dog received the best care we could ever ask for. I highly recommend Susan she is dedicated, caring and loves taking care of pets. Anyone needed a pet sitter can be assure they will be love. Thank you Susan it was a stress free weekend, it was so important to us that our dog would be loved.”
“Shannia took such wonderful care of our dog, Atlas, and we couldn't be more grateful! From the moment we met her, we knew Atlas was in caring and capable hands. She treated him like he was her own, and it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Shannia kept us updated throughout his stay, and it was clear that Atlas was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. When we picked him up, he was relaxed, healthy, and obviously had a great time. It's not easy to find someone you completely trust with your pet, but Shannia exceeded all of our expectations.

“Rachel was wonderful! Even though it was only for one day, she really helped me out. Took great care of my pets and sent lots of photos and updates, which really helped ease my anxiety while I was away. I truly appreciated her care and communication and will definitely book with her again!”
“There aren't enough words to express how AMAZING Dianne is, both as a cat-sitter and as a person. Not only did she send me daily updates on my Chunky boy, but she clearly bonded with him instantly and they became good friends. He let her scratch her in ways nobody but me can! Besides how she adored my kitty cat, she took care of the essentials as well (food, water, litter) and went above and beyond to push my trash out and bring packages inside. I will definitely be using Dianne for all future pet-sitting needs and have already confirmed her for a week in November. THANK YOU, DIANNE! Your care for Chunky let me enjoy my vacation and I truly appreciate that.”
“Michael watched our cats and leopard gecko for two weeks while we were out of the country and did a great job. He provides constant updates and photos! One of our cats loved him so much that he even sat on his lap! (Which he never does for anyone but us) I would highly recommend Michael for any of your pet sitting needs!”
“Jackie was great with our cat and our home while we were away. She was able to recognize signs of stress and adjust the care she provided to make sure our cat was happy and comfortable (he is typically on the skittish/nervous side as it is, so we wanted to make sure he was in good hands while out of town). She also sent us photos and updates while we were away. She was very kind and respectful. We will definitely use her again in the future!”
About: Hi, I'm Amy! I have been taking care of animals my entire life. I have personally owned cats, dogs, rodents, amphibians, fish, horses, and goats in my lifetime. That is not the limit though as my knowledge extends to cattle, reptiles, and birds as well. As a teenager, I even trained horses from birth to a year. I have volunteered with the San Francisco SPCA and obtained my Veterinary Assistant Certification from CSU Hayward. I started the Veterinary Tech program in Portland, Oregon and adopted a pit bull from the local rescue. Four years ago, I lost my rescue dog to cancer after a long treatment with chemo. Before she passed, another pit bull puppy just about fell into my lap, so it's just me and my dog Hustler now plus a couple of semi feral cats that found their way to my house. For nearly forty years I have been trusted to pet sit for others. This has been ever constant and always welcomed…from Scotties to Huskies to Ridgebacks and everything in between! I have experience with large, powerful breeds and also the smallest Chihuahuas with an equally powerful personality ;). I have also worked extensively with cats, so I'm ready to care for them whether they want my entire attention or just want to be left alone. I would love to meet with you and your animal(s) to see if we are a good fit. One thing for certain is that I will care for yours as if they were my own, and every instruction given to me I will follow to ensure the happiness, comfort, and safety of your pets. I have a flexible schedule and can work with medication, feeding, potty break, and exercise times as needed. Please feel free to ask about farm services! I look forward to the opportunity take care of your cherished family members! I have been pet/house sitting part time for years and am now looking to make this my full time job with the Rover service. I am available weekdays, weekends, and holidays! Your home is your sanctuary and your pets are your family. I respect other's spaces as I would my own. You will come home to a happy pet and a clean house. If any bedding or dishes need to be washed, or flowers watered, I am more than happy to accommodate your requests.

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I spent a lot of time with my gran, who had a German Shepherd, a rescue mixed-breed from Ireland. Since moving to America, I’ve rescued two pups from a local animal shelter. I’ve had my oldest for over two years and my youngest for just over six months. They’re both under three, full of energy, and bring me so much joy every day! My mum has also had a dog since I was 13, and being away from her after moving made me realize how much I wanted dogs of my own. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, and I’ll treat your pets with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own. Pet care is my full-time job, so I have the flexibility to dedicate my time and attention to every pet in my care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love and attention throughout the day. I understand how important routine and consistency are, and I’ll do my best to keep your pet comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away. When caring for pets in your home, my priority is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I’ll follow all of your instructions for feeding, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and bedtime routines, while making sure your pet gets plenty of love, attention, and companionship. I’ll also keep your home clean and tidy, respect your space, and send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: What sets me apart from others is that I have a flexible schedule and I’m available when you need me. Additionally, I have two cats that are a part of my family as well! I am a dependable, compassionate cat sitter who understands that every cat has a unique personality and routine. I provide attentive care by ensuring fresh food and water, clean litter, play time, and affection.
“If there was an award to provide for the care that was provided, Cherie would be top winner! We would certainly book her again because of her timeliness, attention to detail and simply the care she gave our babies while away.”
