“I cannot recommend Melissa and her family enough. From the moment we had a meet and greet with her, I knew Watson would be in amazing hands! After dropping him off, I was updated multiple times a day with pictures, videos, and updates of him living his absolute best life. There was also so much care taken to accommodate him since he had a recent injury that he’s just out of recovery for. They took care of him as if he was their own, even going for walks in the rain! I’m so grateful to have found people so truly caring and who love animals to take care of my little guy! He is currently sound asleep after an adventure filled few nights! I’ll absolutely be booking again in the future! Thank you all again for being incredible ☺️”
“Monica & Kelvin are incredible! I’ve never felt more comfortable leaving my puppy somewhere (and I’m very picky). Instantly just conversing with Monica she put my mind at ease by giving so much reassurance that my Banjo would be okay with her. She provided so many cute pics/vids along with day to day updates about my boy 🥹. This family really loves what they do and it shows by how amazing they were to my puppy and treated him as their own. I 100% will be booking again with them!!! ❤️”
“Love Love Love leaving my dogs with Irene and Ken. No matter how short their stay is, they always send me photos of my pups. I feel so confident to leave them with Irene and Ken and know that they are being well cared for and loved. Can't say enough about my experience with them!”
“Ann was a pleasure. I would recommend Ann to watch your dog. Jj was great when we got him back. I was afraid to leave him as I have never left him before. Ann made it great for myself and Jj. Highly recommend Ann.”
“We were SO LUCKY to find Lauren to dog-sit our precious Rosie (a border collie/ lab mix) while we went to Maui! Lauren helped to manage OUR stress at having to leave Rosie by sending us pictures and little notes of Rosie regularly. When we picked Rosie up, it was obvious how well cared for Rosie was, she was clean, happy, and in great shape. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU Lauren, for taking Rosie into your home and family, and taking such good care of her!”
“A very honest review: Celeste is absolutely wonderful. I am military and I had to leave on a mission overseas last minute, and she accommodated my needs and my dog’s needs for an extended stay. I will definitely use her services again, she’s a wonderful pet sitter, she’s very communicative and sent me pictures of my dog and an update daily while I was overseas. Her and her family all love pets and are very caring, this shows as my dog gets very excited to see her, her family, and her pets. She treated my dog as if it was her own.”
“Another great stay with Cathy! When my pup sees the house she gets excited walking up to the door! We get daily pics and daily reports of how she’s doing. We couldn’t be happier knowing our pup is doing so well. Cathy comes with my highest recommendation!!”

“I don’t know exactly what transpired while we were away. All that matters is that our cat looked healthy and happy when we came back from vacation. I have to assume that Elizabeth did a great job with her. As a plus, we didn’t lose any plants in the deck from the summer heat and drought. Thank you, Elizabeth!”
“Molly was great with my cat who she boarded for close to two weeks. She sent me regular updates and videos of him. It was also an added bonus that she had her own cats which was delightful company for him.”
About: I’ve been house sitting/pet sitting since I was around 17 years old. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs. I’ve watched dogs, cats, turtles, lizards, fish and more. I’m familiar with pee pads, crate training and dog diapers. I will always treat your animal with respect and kindness, showing them so much love while you are away. I’m currently not working so I would have plenty of time to be with your furbaby. I do volunteer work during the week but I would still have plenty of time to care and be with your animal. I can walk, play, snuggle, crate train and prepare meals for your animals. You just tell me what the preferred routine is and I’ll do my best to match that so your animal feels safe and loved.
“Stephanie takes great care of our cat Sammy. She’s wonderful with him. He is very shy but when she came to the house he came right out to see her.He loves playing with her! She sends lots of photos and updates on how he’s doing. We feel Sammy is in great hands with Stephanie!”
“Christy was super helpful and consistent with our cat, Grits while we were away. So great to have the peace of mind that he was well taken care of and to see him getting some company! Thanks, Christy!”
About: As a kid, my family would often take care of our friend's dogs, but we never had one of our own. Now, I'm a dad of three young humans and one bundle of fluff named Simba. Oh and let's not forget Victoria, our rabbit. We love havinganimals, and we still love watching other people's animals too. I'm also offering to house-sit, and take other people's dogs (either solo or with my Simba) for walks. I mostly work from home and never leave a dog alone while in my care. We take several walks per day, including morning, lunch, and at least two in the evening. I have a comfortable living space, a nice yard area, nice green space and a park nearby. When dogsitting, I take very little space for myself and leave the space better than when I found it.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and currently have one dog and two cats. In high school, I volunteered at an animal shelter, where I helped care for animals by cleaning, feeding, socializing, and helping with their daily needs. Through my volunteer experience and caring for my own pets, I’ve become comfortable working with animals of different ages, sizes and personalities.
About: Cats were my first foray into pet sitting. I've cared for some pretty spoiled kitties over the years( but I think they all deserve it!) I make sure to give extra attention & playtime, because cats can get a little down when their people are away.
About: I’ve hosted a British Shorthair cat in my home for over two years, providing full-time care including feeding, grooming, litter cleaning, and playtime. I understand how sensitive and independent cats can be, and I always respect their unique personalities and boundaries. Whether your cat is playful, shy, or senior, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well-loved in your absence.
About: I’ve cared for cats of all ages since high school, and I recently pet and house sat for a coworker’s two elderly cats. I’m patient, gentle, and attentive—especially with senior cats who may need a calmer environment and extra care. I can feed your cat on their normal schedule, change and clean litter, and make sure they get plenty of comfort, cuddles, and playtime (based on their personality). I also provide daily updates with pictures and a simple log of their food intake so you always know how they’re doing. 🐾✨
About: Preferred Name: Sabine <3 I spent the first 15 years of my life training to be the perfect cat owner. Reading book after book and watching documentary after documentary, at last I have my chance to love 2 beautiful kitties who do nothing but claw at my legs every day. But I wouldn't have it any other way. Now, I look to share my experience and love to all the kitties in the county! I am patient, kind, responsible, and will even partake in your fur baby's hobbies and activities like a good cat sitter. I sort have been hopping around from place to place as I try to experience new things and meet new people, but I still need to make some money! so I have taken to Rover as it's pretty decent and allows me to still earn something in areas I'm new to. :] I clean litter boxes on a daily, check on water and food bowls, and of course, as an anxious person, I will constantly be on the look out to make sure whoever I'm looking after is happy and safe! I also am a little scatter brained so I will be asking you every question possible about your pet before I start to make sure I fully understand what I am expected to do. <3
“Taylor was so great caring for my cat Clifford while I was away! She sent cute updates and photos and gave him plenty of playtime and cuddles. I came home to a happy cat! I would definitely recommend her if you need someone responsible and kind to watch your pet.”
About: I provide trusted, Loving support for your Feline Friends. From a young age, I’ve had a deep love for cats. As a child, I would sneak food from home to feed stray cats in my neighborhood, and once, I even smuggled an entire family of kittens and their mother into our basement! That bond has only grown stronger over the years. My friends trust me with their cats whenever they’re away, and they were the ones who encouraged me to bring my passion for feline care to this platform. I provide loving, attentive care, ensuring your cat feels safe, comfortable, and cherished while you're away.

“Travis and Roberta were critical in helping us get our dog settled the first week we had him! They were so kind and patient with him. He loved going over to their house when we couldn’t be home! Their dog was older than ours and was also patient and gentle with him, so it was great socialization for our pup! We will definitely be booking with them again in the future!”

“Lauren watched our dog twice. She was fantastic both times. Our dog, Rylee, likes all people but she really took to Lauren. And for good reason -- Lauren is a true dog lover. She walked Rylee each time and sent us pics during the day. Finally, Lauren went above and beyond. Our car broke down in Moss Landing and had to be towed back to Pacific Grove. Lauren kept Rylee into the evening and brought her to us. We recommend her highly.”

About: Hi there! I'm Marlenny — a work-from-home mom with two gentle, dog loving kids and a deep love for furry friends. I’ve had dogs in my life since I was a child and cared for my own sweet pup for 11 years before he went to live with family. He was thriving with me, and I’ve missed that companionship ever since.

I work remotely, so your dog will have plenty of company, cuddles, and supervision throughout the day. They’ll be walked, played with, and of course, showered with love!

Walks are done on-leash, and I avoid any unsafe areas or interactions. Safety, comfort, and trust are my top priorities.

About: Hi there! I can’t wait to welcome your pet into my home. Dogs and cats who stay here are treated like guests of honor, with all the care and attention I bestow upon my own pets. Unless there are extenuating circumstances, pets are allowed to roam freely in a cozy, familiar home environment — no rows of kenneled dogs here! I’m very selective about the pets I accept. I usually only accept a maximum of 3-4 dogs at once. I meet every new pet before booking, and I usually won’t accept more than one new dog at a time, alongside repeat clients. This ensures that I’m familiar with how all the dogs will interact with each other, with only one new variable, thus avoiding potentially uncomfortable or dangerous situations for your pet. I’ve always loved animals, and with more than 15 years of pet care under my belt, I have the knowledge and experience to provide your pets with the best care possible. I take the responsibility of caring for your pets very seriously, and I’m certified by the American Red Cross in Cat and Dog First Aid. Earliest drop off or pickup is at 8 am. Latest drop off or pickup is at 8 pm on weekdays, 9 pm on weekends. I’m also available for drop-ins at your home, every day except Saturday mornings. (I’m available Saturday evenings instead.) For Dogs: I have a large, unfenced backyard that dogs love exploring on a 50-foot long leash - so many scents to sniff and chipmunks to chase! I’m always there to monitor them - dogs are never left alone outdoors. Every morning, the dogs get a long 1-2 hour walk on a local forest trail (weather permitting) and in the afternoon/evening we have a shorter 15-30 minute walk around the neighborhood or in my backyard. Water is always available, and I work from home so I’m around the majority of the day to keep them happy and safe. What you’ll need to send: Their regular food is the most important thing to send, as dogs can get upset stomach from sudden dietary changes. You can also send their favorite treats, and a favorite toy. If they tend to pull on the leash, a front-latch harness, rubber-tipped prong collar, or gentle leader is appreciated. Bowls, beds, brushes, litter bags etc. are all unnecessary, as I have extras of all these supplies. For puppies, a crate may be necessary, depending on their level of potty training. For Cats: The cats have a comfy lounge downstairs, with food, water, litter boxes, and scratching posts. The dogs are not allowed downstairs, so the cats can get all the space they need from the dogs. The cats are free to move upstairs and downstairs as they prefer. All cats are indoors only. I have a lot of wide, accessible windowsills that they love chilling on to watch birds and squirrels outside, as well as battery-operated and automated toys that they can chase and play with on their own. What you’ll need to send: their regular food (wet and dry) and treats. Cat litter is also appreciated. I work from home, so my schedule is flexible and I’m home most of the day. I have a spacious home that can accommodate giving multiple animals space, and I can keep animals separated from each other if necessary. I've always loved animals of all kinds, and I currently have my own dog and 3 cats. I can't wait to meet your pet, and I promise to love them and care for them the way every pet deserves to be loved!

About: I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals over the past 10 years, including raising my own Bichon Frise for 8 years and hosting a British Shorthair cat in my home for 2 years. Friends and family often turn to me to help care for their pets—dogs, cats, and even more unusual animals—because they know I’m attentive, patient, and genuinely passionate about animals. Whether it’s walking, feeding, bathing, or just giving lots of love and playtime, I’m experienced and trustworthy. I’m currently on summer break from school, so I’m available every day to care for your dog or cat. With a flexible schedule, I can give them plenty of attention and playtime throughout the day. My home has a spacious living room where your pup can play freely and safely. I’ll be by their side to keep them company, make them feel comfortable, and ensure they’re happy and cared for at all times. Our neighborhood also has beautiful green spaces—perfect for daily walks and outdoor fun.
About: I’ve pet sat for neighbors’ dogs of all ages since high school, and I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding, playtime, and cleaning up waste. I’m also very routine-focused—I stick closely to your dog’s schedule so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I grew up with a mutt who recently passed, so I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy, lovin, and caring for your dog. I’ll treat your pup like my own and provide daily updates with photos, plus quick notes on meals and how their day went. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. I work Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons into early evenings, and Sunday mornings into early afternoon. Outside of those hours, I’m available for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and extended visits. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and provide consistent care, along with daily updates and photos so you feel confident while you’re away. 🐾📸 When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walking routines, and any household rules you have in place. I make sure your pet always has fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of attention and comfort. For dogs, I’m careful with leash safety, door safety, and picking up waste on every walk. For cats, I keep litter boxes clean, make sure doors and windows stay secure, and respect their comfort level—whether they want playtime or quiet companionship.
About: I love all animals and will take excellent care of your pet. While I’m currently taking a step back from work in veterinary medicine for personal and professional reasons, my commitment to high-quality, compassionate pet care remains strong. Animals have always been central to my life, and I bring that same dedication to every pet I care for. I have 15+ years of professional animal-care experience, including work at Hi Tor Animal Shelter, VEG (Nanuet) as a veterinary assistant, All Creatures in Pomona, and Sleepy Hollow Animal Hospital. I provide attentive, individualized care including meals, walks, playtime, socialization, grooming, and medication administration (oral, topical, eye/ear drops, and injections). I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages and sizes, including special-needs pets, and I have extensive experience with cats. I also care for other animals such as reptiles (especially snakes), birds, and small mammals. I’d love to meet you and your pet—feel free to reach out with any questions or to see if we’re a good fit! My schedule is flexible, and I have availability during some days, evenings, and weekends. *RE: OVERNIGHT HOUSE SITTING: Rover does not currently allow users to specify available time frames for house sitting stays, so while I do have availability for some overnight pet/house sitting, it will usually be limited to a short duration, like 3-4 nights at a time, with the possibility for occasional exceptions (TBD). Overnights basically cover dinner-overnight stay-breakfast. Side-note: If we are expecting snow, then please make sure proper snow removal is in place for the visit as that is not included in my services. The open days that I have posted on my calendar are days that I can be available in general, and I’ll try to work something out to meet your needs if possible. I’ve posted a 1-day cancellation policy, but I would prefer 48 hours notice of cancellation for a commitment so that I have an opportunity to reallocate that time. The main thing is clear communication in advance so that dates, details, and expectations can all be sorted out. I always respect the personal space and privacy of homes where I’m watching pets. My goal is to stick to routines as much as possible, and to keep your pet feeling happy and healthy and loved.
About: With over 10 years of dedicated dog care experience, we offer compassionate attention and reliable care tailored to your furry friend's needs. From daily walks to playtime and grooming, your dog will receive the utmost love and attention, ensuring their comfort and happiness while you're away. Travis works from home which allows us to offer constant companionship and supervision. Roberta is a teacher nearby, providing the ability to come home early for extra cuddles. We had a 10 year-old German shepherd mix named Marshall, that recently passed, that we adopted from a rescue at 8 weeks old so we have the ability and patience to host puppies. Marshall was our first family dog, Roberta grew up with multiple dogs caring for them from pups through seniors. Additionally, our 6 year-old daughter has enough energy to provide tons of additional fetch and chase time. We also have a 1 year old that can’t wait to get in on the action! We are able to (and love) having pups with special needs. Marshall's best friend was blind and we cared for him on many occasions. We can also administer medications and prepare specialized meals when needed. We have a large backyard that allows for plenty of jaunts and potty breaks. As well as plenty of space in the house for quiet time and naps. Your pup will have full access to make themselves comfortable in their home away from home. Travis works from home allowing for full time care. Roberta is a teacher nearby and is home early to allow for additional time and attention. We are able to fit your pup into our daily feeding, potty, play schedule or can adjust to meet their needs. In our home, your pets are treated like family. They'll enjoy a cozy environment with plenty of playtime in our large yard or indoors if it's too hot/cold. They'll have plenty of play time if they like or space to chill if that's what they prefer. Your pet will have access to our home to nap and play wherever they feel comfortable, and we also have the space to crate if, that's your preference.

“Monica & Kelvin are incredible! I’ve never felt more comfortable leaving my puppy somewhere (and I’m very picky). Instantly just conversing with Monica she put my mind at ease by giving so much reassurance that my Banjo would be okay with her. She provided so many cute pics/vids along with day to day updates about my boy 🥹. This family really loves what they do and it shows by how amazing they were to my puppy and treated him as their own. I 100% will be booking again with them!!! ❤️”
“Love Love Love leaving my dogs with Irene and Ken. No matter how short their stay is, they always send me photos of my pups. I feel so confident to leave them with Irene and Ken and know that they are being well cared for and loved. Can't say enough about my experience with them!”
“Priscilla is amazing. Clearly a dog person. Very caring and attentive and responsive. She sent us great pictures and kept us updated on how our dog was doing. Highly recommended. We have booked multiple states with her already.”
“We only used Arsenii once so far but will definitely be going back. Oscar has a bit of separation anxiety but Arsenii's place provides a relaxed vibe and Oscar made himself right at home.”
“Roberta and Travis were great to work with. Fast communication and our NOAA was happy and exhausted at pick up! She played with their pup Marshall and came home a very content pup! We will definitely use them again in the future!”
“Lisa was very kind and caring with my Junie. She sent me texts and pictures and I was put at ease immediately. I would definitely recommend her and look forward to using her services again.”
“Evelien was a phenomenal dog sitter. She was very attentive to my dog’s needs, sent updates, and gave our pup a beautiful home away from home. Her 3 dogs are just as friendly and welcoming as she is.”
“WOW. This is my first time with Brittany. Brittany is amazing. Brittany devoted so much time to Drew. Although Brittany has a fenced in yard, she took our dog on two walks each day. They went to the park. They had movie night together. Brittany is a rare find. When I picked my dog up, you could see how much HE enjoyed staying with Brittany—his tail was wagging, he was smiling (yes, my dog smiles) and he was licking Brittany affectionately as we were saying goodbye. I’ve had a number of other dog sitters, but Brittany just goes the extra mile. Again, she’s incredible and puts all our other sitters to shame. We are definitely spoiled and will use Brittany again anytime we need a sitter.”
“It was a pleasure working with Matthew! He is an excellent communicator and was very flexible with our schedule. He took wonderful care of Summer, providing regular photo updates and real-time feedback that gave me complete peace of mind. I’ll definitely be booking with him again!”
“Brittny provided excellent care for our goldendoodle, Billie Holiday. Brittny has a large dog of her own, so is quite familiar with the craziness that a big, active dog can bring to the party. I was very happy that Billie had such a wonderful home and family to spend a long weekend with. I will definitely be calling Brittny again!”
“Our dog Daisy had such a blast at Grace‘s house! She got to run around in the big backyard with other dogs and play and she came home tired, which was so nice! Definitely would bring Daisy back”
“Jessica was so amazing!! I felt so confident with my sweet girl Daisy being in her and her daughter’s hands. She got so much love and care. Jessica was so in tune with her needs and incredible at communicating with me. I could tell Daisy was so happy and comfortable. Highly recommend Jessica!”
“Stephanie was great with my pup who was a little hesitant around some dogs and came home a little more confident. She knew all about feeding raw food and was very accommodating.”
“Maddie was wonderful! Took perfect care of Sasha and checked in often about her during her stay. She was also very understanding and accomodating to some unfortunate tummy troubles Sasha had. Would definitely recommend Maddie!”
