“I am so appreciative for the incredibly wonderful warm care Tanu gave Meli. Tanu and her two terrific sons were attentive, loving, and treated Meli like their own. Tanu made sure Meli got plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddle time. Tanu worked hard to make it seem like Meli was also on vacation! It is such a relief to know someone so responsible and kind was taking care of my dog. I will certainly use Tanu to care for Meli... (more at r.rover.com/hCMSHg )”

And we would definitely trust them again to take care of Bella in the near future!”

About: I have extensive experience house sitting and caring for cats for friends, family members, and clients. Through regular drop-in visits and overnight stays, I’ve cared for cats with a wide range of personalities, from social and playful cats who love attention to more independent or shy cats who prefer a quieter approach. I understand that every cat has unique routines and preferences, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, administering basic medications when needed, playtime, enrichment activities, and providing plenty of companionship based on each cat’s individual needs. Whether your cat enjoys interactive play, lounging in their favorite spot, or simply having someone check in and maintain their routine, I strive to provide dependable, attentive care and regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Brigette took amazing care of Boo. She went above and beyond to let me know how he was doing, the status of his food / wellbeing each visit and sent lots of adorable photos.

I wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again when I decide to take another trip. 10/10 experience, thank you Brigette!!!”

“Ella was so great with my cat, Ollie! He instantly loved her and they played and cuddled together. He is normally shy with new people, so I credit her for being patient and slow with him. Would definitely recommend her services!”
About: Hello! My name is Julissa. I have so much love for all pets and animals. Growing up, i’ve always had a dog in the house, and they were always such an important member of our family. It’s been about five years since I’ve had a dog of my own. My last dog’s name was Sasha. We adopted her when she was six and had her until she was about thirteen. She was so smart, loving, and anxious when we first got her so our first few years together were spent establishing trust. Eventually we managed to off-leash train and we worked a lot on her recall so that we could enjoy longer walks and outdoor activities while ensuring that she always felt safe in her environment. At home we set her bed up in the kitchen, where we would pass our time cooking and spending a lot of quality time together. I had so many good years with my Sasha, and since she passed I have genuinely missed spending time with animals on a consistent basis. Since then, most if not all of my friends and family have entrusted me with taking care of their animals when they are busy or traveling, so I’ve had a lot of experience with many different pets and their varying needs/personalities. I work freelance as an artist. I am a musician, so I often stay at home practicing or composing. However most of my work is in the film industry, and this work ranges from smaller independent projects to network television. Although I do work on set sometimes, I try to take on as many post-production gigs as possible, so I often find myself sitting behind a desk all day. I have always made it a priority to work in a field that I am passionate about, and my decision to work with Rover has been no different. Caring for animals is not only something I am passionate about, but also a wonderful opportunity to go on walks and spend quality time with pets. I will always be very clear about any changes in my work schedule if those are to arise, but my reliability and dedication never wavers I have a fenced in yard and plenty of spaces in the house for your pet to wander and feel comfortable. I am also very trust worthy, organized, communicative, and extremely eager to work with you!
“Thank you so so much Soraya!! You take care of our zoo of a household (lol)- 3 cats, 2 fish, and a turtle with such care and dedication. You have given us peace of mind every single time we’re away. Your detailed pet visit cards and photos gave us that little piece of home from oceans away we always need. Also, thank you for being so flexible working around time differences and late messages!! We will be sure to reach out for any and all future trips, we know our girls will miss you till your next visit ❤️”

“Elizabeth is super patient with our very shy rescue cat, trying to coax her out of hiding with open doors, music and kind words. She follows all our guidelines for food, water, litter & litter disposal to maintain our cat's routine while we're away. We hate leaving our cat but know she's in the best hands with Elizabeth!”
“Ari did a great job dropping in to take care of my cat for several days. I'd book him again and would highly recommend him to others as well. He was easy to work with and did everything as instructed.”
“Cynthia was incredible and did so much to help my anxious kitties to feel safe and happy while I was away! She sent detailed updates with photos that made me feel at ease so I could enjoy my trip. 🙂 She is incredible and I will definitely be contacting her in the future for pet sitting services!”

“Julia was great! We left our puppy Sonny with her one afternoon until the afternoon the next day and she kept sending us updates and pictures of him having fun. This made us feel so good knowing that she was taking the best care of him and that he was happy. We would definitely recommend and use Julia again.”
“Wendy was awesome! She sent pictures throughout the day and even made my dog fresh food when she wouldn’t eat the food we brought. My dog felt very comfortable with her and she was super flexible with our timing. Thanks so much!”
“Outstanding daycare experience and Peachy was a great host too . They were very sensitive to Charlie who has some anxiety and made her feel very comfortable and she felt right at home once she warmed up. They gave an immediate update at her first visit, which was very comforting. They were also very honest and kind , sent photos and followed all instructions. I highly recommend. My pug came home smiling and she’s looking forward to her next slumber party there☺️”
“Wendy and her husband took great care of my dog and sent me updates during the day. Zoe can be shy and sensitive at first with new people, but she warmed up to them so quickly! Their dog Hero is so cute and playful as well. I would recommend her, and Zoe looks forward to her next daycare there!”
About: Honestly? I’d do this for free — and I have, many times. I’ve cared for dogs and cats for friends, family, and neighbors my whole life, and recently completed a month-long live-in cat sit. My background working with kids in sports and with autism has made me patient, attentive, and calm in any situation. Your pet won’t just be watched, they’ll be treated like family. My schedule is about as flexible as it gets. I work part-time just a few hours every few days, and the rest of my time is spent working from home on my business. Your pet won’t be sitting alone waiting for someone to come home. They’ll have a present, engaged, companion, ready for walks, playtime, and everything in between. Whether caring for your pet in my home or yours, safety, and comfort always come first my home features are fully fenced backyard, perfect for off leash play and outdoor time without any worry. I’m in a quiet, low traffic neighborhood that’s ideal for relaxed, walks, and outdoor adventures. Inside, my home is calm and welcoming. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I bring the same attentiveness and routine focused approach so your pet stays comfortable in the environment they know best.
“I truly recommend Dan. This is my first time using Rover and naturally wanting the best for my dog, I wanted to make sure she’d be good, and Dan made sure of that. She always checked in with me, provided me updates of Daisy through pictures and videos, and always responds when she can.”
“We needed a super last minute dog watcher and found Emily. She was accommodating and flexible as we were driving in from out of state, when we arrived she showed us her space and it was really clean with a nice enclosed backyard. She sent photos throughout the day and notes about our dog. Emily was great and we highly recommend her!!”
“Lu and his family took wonderful care of Lani for the day! They shared plenty of photos and updates, took her on walks, and gave her lots of time to explore outdoors. They were very patient and accommodating with her puppy teething needs. We felt completely comfortable leaving Lani with them and would absolutely book again.”

Caring for them is a deep passion of mine, and I understand how challenging it can be to leave your beloved pet in someone else’s care. I pour my heart into providing exceptional care, treating each dog as if they were my own. My goal is to make your furbaby feel at home and ease any worries you may have. With years of experience and a natural instinct for care, I’m dedicated to ensuring your dog’s happiness and well-being. After leaving my corporate marketing position due to severe burnout, I’m now at a point in my life where I’m exploring what truly makes me happy and finding passion in new projects. I’ve transitioned to remote work, giving me the flexibility to take on side jobs like Rover, where I can connect with amazing dogs. Whether it’s early morning or late afternoon, I’m here to accommodate your needs, understanding that not all trips are planned.**shoot me a message with more questions regarding my availability!** I’m active and can easily fit your dog’s routine into my own, ensuring they get the care and attention they deserve. Although my fiancé and I don’t currently have a dog after the recent passing of our beloved Layla, we hope to welcome another fur baby into our lives around the holidays. Dog sitting is a win-win for me—I get to enjoy the company of wonderful dogs, and you can relax knowing your pet is in loving hands! I live in a spacious apartment, in an area surrounded by parks and pups. Rest assured your dog will have free rein to enjoy themselves!
“Outstanding and professional. She is a dog whisperer for my sweet pug with mild anxiety. Very nice convenient location and I could sense the warmth and love before and during the incredible service provided!”
About: What truly sets me apart is my lifelong, hands-on experience as a devoted pet parent — especially with senior dogs and emotionally sensitive pets. I cared for my beloved senior dog Rocki for 14 years, supporting him through every stage of life, including the extra patience, gentleness, and attentiveness senior dogs need. Today, I share my life with my dog River and also help care for my partner’s 16-year-old senior dog, so I am very comfortable with senior care, slower mobility, routine-based needs, and gentle handling. I’m highly attentive to body language, emotional comfort, and stress signals, which helps me support anxious, sensitive, or aging dogs in a calm and reassuring way. My home provides a safe, structured, and loving environment where dogs can feel secure and relaxed. I’m also patient and consistent with younger dogs, helping reinforce routines, calm behavior, and positive habits through gentle guidance and structure. Every dog in my care is treated like family with safety, emotional awareness, patience, and genuine love. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. I structure my days around consistent walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and calm rest periods for my own dog, River, as well as my partner’s senior dog. Because caring for animals is already part of my everyday routine, I’m able to provide dependable, attentive, and structured care for pets staying with me. I prioritize supervision, emotional comfort, and routine so every dog feels safe, relaxed, and cared for throughout the day. In my home, pets are treated like family in a calm, safe, and loving environment. I follow each dog’s normal routine closely, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and plenty of rest and comfort. I pay close attention to body language, emotional needs, and stress signals to ensure every dog feels secure and relaxed. My home includes a fenced backyard for safe outdoor time, cozy indoor rest areas, and close supervision throughout the day. In a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain their pet’s established routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I provide gentle, attentive care, ensure safety, and send regular updates with photos so pet parents always feel reassured while they’re away.
“I’m so happy I found Nari and Ryan. They cared for my Chester as if he were their own dog. I felt so comfortable leaving him with their family. He slept like a baby because they gave him good walks. He also was so happy to return the next day, wagging his tail and running to their door for day 2. They are the best!”
About: I have two doggies of my own and my days revolve around their happiness, walks, doggie park/doggie cafes visit. We travel together everywhere and have experience with other doggies staying at our house. We love to play in the backyard and chase bunnies. I work from home so any chance I get I spend it either in the backyard, on a walk, beach or the doggie park. My schedule revolves a lot around the house and my doggies. I have a fenced yard and can easily crate train your puppy. There’s a lot of local parks right by my house where all the owners know each other. I also live in a very peaceful neighborhood where the doggies can enjoy a walk on their own with me.
“I don’t care if it’s a same day visit or overnights visit, my dog chewy is excited to be at his sitters Veronica‘s house. She’s is sweet and caring and is always sending photos and videos of chewy .”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, and temperaments.

I have raised puppies from a young age and am experienced with basic obedience training, crate training, potty training, leash manners, and reinforcing positive behaviors. I am also comfortable working with reactive, nervous, high-energy, and strong-willed dogs, always prioritizing patience, consistency, and safety.

About: As a devoted dog mom and longtime animal shelter volunteer, I’ve gained hands-on experience with pups of all ages, temperaments, and needs. My background has taught me patience, compassion, and the importance of tailoring care to each dog’s personality. Whether it’s energetic walks, calm companionship, or extra TLC, I treat every pup like family and ensure they feel safe, loved, and happy. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday routine. With a very flexible schedule and lots of availability, I’m able to give pups consistent attention, love, and care whenever needed. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions, maintain a clean and secure environment, and create a calm, loving atmosphere. Whether in my home or yours, I ensure pets feel comfortable, cared for, and protected at all times

“Shirley is the best! She is responsible, kind, and very communicative. We appreciated all the photos she shared and took comfort knowing that our puppy was in great hands with Shirley. You can tell that she is a true animal lover. Highly recommended!!”
“Lu boarded our dog and cat for a few days. Everything went great! He and his family are wonderful people and they took excellent care of our pets. We received daily updates with photos, and there was great communication. We are very satisfied with the experience and will call on them again next time we need a sitter. Highly recommend.”
“Wendy watched my cat when over the weekend. She is extremely communicative and flexible. She sent a lot of pictures and updated me while I was away. She listened to my concerns and addressed them as well.”
“Julia was terrific! She and Bailey hit it off right away. Got a bunch of pics with Bailey out for a walk, playing with toys and a restful night sleep. Will use Julia again!”
“I am so appreciative for the incredibly wonderful warm care Tanu gave Meli. Tanu and her two terrific sons were attentive, loving, and treated Meli like their own. Tanu made sure Meli got plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddle time. Tanu worked hard to make it seem like Meli was also on vacation! It is such a relief to know someone so responsible and kind was taking care of my dog. I will certainly use Tanu to care for Meli... (more at r.rover.com/hCMSHg )”
“Cooper has stayed with Nicole twice so far and the second time I bought him to her house, he ran inside. She seems to be very attentive and is incredibly responsive. We’ll definitely be staying here again! Thank you for the awesome experience for my dogs first boarding.”
“Ilona was fantastic. Leila was so tired from all the fun she had. Ilona sent lots of pictures and it was clear from all of them how well she took care of our dog.”
“I can’t say enough good things about V! It’s always hard leaving Bluey behind, but they made it so much easier by sending regular updates and photos. My dog was clearly happy, well-cared for, and relaxed when I got home. Highly recommend!”
“Nari, Ryan and Jiyu took great care of Bella for over two weeks. They took Bella everywhere they went. Many pictures and videos were sent to us. And we could tell Bella loved them from the updates we received daily. We were quite surprised how well Bella adapted that we started to get a bit jealous! They treated Bella like a family member. And we would definitely trust them again to take care of Bella in the near future!”
“Victoria is amazing! She made me feel so confident in leaving my dog with her! She is such an animal lover and was so communicative. She made sure Charlie was comfortable and welcomed into her home. She sent pictures and was constantly in touch! Hiring her again for December!”
“William and his family have been amazing. I received updates and pictures every day I was away from my pitty and will absolutely be sending her back in the future. Thanks again William!”
“I had a great experience with Tina! She took the time to meet Summer on short notice before taking care of her. She sent pictures and updates twice a day and I could tell Summer had a great time. She also has a fenced backyard where Summer enjoyed playing fetch and getting her zoomies out. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“Britany is amazing! This was our second time leaving Frodo with her, this time for a full week, and she went above and beyond. She sent us daily updates with photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. If she had any concerns, she brought them up right away and was always very transparent. When we dropped Frodo off, we could tell how happy he was to be there - he didn’t even look back at us lol! Britany really knows his personality and quirks now, and it’s clear he feels comfortable and cared for with her. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter!”
“Absolutely happy thank you for everything!!! Tugger came home very happy… you were amazing! Thank you for the continuous updates and the quick replies, I loved all the pictures you sent it truly shows how much you love our pets and take such good care of them! Tugger will be back and i will also recommend my clients and friends and family to you. I am beyond grateful and appreciate you :-)”
“Kimi had a good stay with Yvonne. They were also very accommodative when we had to change our pick up time after our flight got delayed. Thank you for taking care of Kimi!”
“I had to make a last-minute trip and urgently needed an overnight stay for my pup. I quickly found Daniel through the app, and he was incredibly responsive and accommodating. Upon meeting him, I was impressed by his friendliness and the thorough walk-through of his backyard, which resembled a gated mini-farm. My dog was absolutely fascinated by the chickens and rabbits; we could barely pull him away! Daniel kept me updated with photos throughout the day, making me feel reassured. By the end of the day, it was clear that Kylo had become part of Daniel's family. I can’t recommend him enough! Kylo has truly found his second home with Daniel.”
About: Honestly? I’d do this for free — and I have, many times. I’ve cared for dogs and cats for friends, family, and neighbors my whole life, and recently completed a month-long live-in cat sit. My background working with kids in sports and with autism has made me patient, attentive, and calm in any situation. Your pet won’t just be watched, they’ll be treated like family. My schedule is about as flexible as it gets. I work part-time just a few hours every few days, and the rest of my time is spent working from home on my business. Your pet won’t be sitting alone waiting for someone to come home. They’ll have a present, engaged, companion, ready for walks, playtime, and everything in between. Whether caring for your pet in my home or yours, safety, and comfort always come first my home features are fully fenced backyard, perfect for off leash play and outdoor time without any worry. I’m in a quiet, low traffic neighborhood that’s ideal for relaxed, walks, and outdoor adventures. Inside, my home is calm and welcoming. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I bring the same attentiveness and routine focused approach so your pet stays comfortable in the environment they know best.
“Iwona took wonderful care of our dog while we were away and gave us real peace of mind. She kept us updated throughout the weekend and sent photos, which we always appreciate. Our dog was happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable with her. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful dog sitter!”
“Eric took great care of our rescue dog, Yoshi, for the weekend. Yoshi is a rescue with severe separation anxiety and a fear of strangers. Eric has a relaxed and confident demeanor that worked well with our dog, and also sent us lots of pictures and informative updates (what they were doing, how Yoshi's health was regarding a recent upset stomach he was recovering from). He's also a walker so I wasn't worried about Yoshi getting enough exercise. We look forward to booking Eric again!”
“Amazing experience, Vanessa is great, my babies were taken care of as if they were part of her family. Vanessa is so loving and really payed attention to every detail. Will always recommend 100 %. Trixi (Dog) and Ash (Cat) had a amazing time.”
