“Amy was a wonderful dog sitter. Her house is clean and convenient, and she was extremely flexible and kind. Our dog loved his time with her and slept for three days straight after we picked him up. I would highly recommend her!”
“What a wonderful experience! From drop off to pick up Garrett and Monica were welcoming and warm to our pups. They sent tons of photos throughout the stay and our pups were tired and happy when we picked them up. Highly recommended! We will be using them again for sure!”
“Alicia took such great care of our dog and two cats for 3 weeks while we were away! We are always anxious about boarding our pets for extended stays, but they warmed up to her immediately. She was very mindful of creating a comfortable environment for the cats in particular, who take a bit more time to adjust to new people and places. She also took our senior dog on plenty of walks, and she sent photos throughout their stay. She was very reasonable and accommodating with us too, and I felt at peace with leaving our furry babies in her care. We had a great experience with Alicia, and we would definitely book with her again!”
“Coy had a wonderful time with Katie and she took great care of him. Multiple daily walks, potty breaks, play time, feedings, everything was done wonderfully. We couldn’t be more happy with the care and love provided to Coy. We will 100% use Katie for future bookings.”
“Suzanne and Brian were absolutely wonderful with my two dogs! They went above and beyond to make sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. They bathed them, trimmed their nails, played with them, cuddled with them, and even let them sleep on their bed. They also sent me regular pictures and updates throughout their stay, which gave me so much peace of mind and made me feel like I knew how my babies were doing while I was away. It was so clear that they treated my dogs with so much genuine care, love, and affection. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and I would be so happy to have them care for my dogs again. I highly recommend them! ❤️”
“Daniela was amazing! Sent us many photos and videos of our dog and he was well taken care of. Worth the money 100%. Don’t hesitate letting her take care of your dog. 💜”
“Allyse is an amazing dog sitter. She was very friendly and attentive to the needs of my old dog. Her backyard is large, her dog is super sweet and her house is very comfortable. I really appreciated how quick and responsive she was to all of my questions. I would definitely use her services again, and would highly recommend her to my friends. Thanks you, Allyse, for taking such good care of my Eddy!”
“Very kind and had kept communicating with me during his entire stay! I can tell he bonded with her and I appreciate her flexibility and understanding when plans needed to change. I will absolutely love her to care for Andrè again!”
About: I’m a caring, responsible, and dependable dog sitter who treats every dog like part of the family. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m happy to provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, cuddles, and companionship. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Weekends are my best days to provide the most care. I do work a part time job and will be able get back to your pup in the afternoon. I like to do walks in the morning before work and if they are dogs that like a good walk id like to bring them. I have a large fenced home where your dog can run, play and even dip in a kiddie doggy pool. I do have 2 dogs at home that are extremely friendly and would love to have play dates.
“Julianne and Ragen let Milo into the center of their lives for ten days while I traveled. He got lots of lap time, snuggles, treats, walks, and got to sleep on their bed, which made him comfortable when I couldn't be with him. They noticed a scabby wound and messaged, asking my permission to treat it; it healed well. Daily, I got a report on Milo; many days a pic, too. This was only the second time I was away from him this long. I was privileged to feel he was so safe and loved. It let me enjoy my trip without worry. Julianne and Ragen have had their own small dogs. They knew how to care for Milo and did it well!”
About: My name is Sophia! I am 27 and I have been around animals most of my life. I always try to understand any animal and pet. Making sure to get to their level and accommodate them in any way I can. I currently have one doggie, one cat, and a fish. They are all super sweet. I train my dog often at home and the public parks. She loves cats and other doggies. My cat keeps to herself and she will often follow us on walks with our doggie. We take walks daily around the neighborhood. I have a fenced backyard and live in a duplex. Always feel free to message with any questions! 🐶🐱🐾 I work in the medford school district. I work monday thru friday 7am to 2pm and I am off weekends. I have a boyfriend who works later shifts, so pets won't be alone until 10am. We have a fenced back yard with a doggie door. My cat and dog let themselves out when they need to. My dog is kennel trained and usually is in her kennel when no one is home, but we leave her out when we aren't gone long. I make sure everyone has water in the morning and evening. We walk our dog around the neighborhood twice daily. One in the morning and one in the evening. I have fenced backyard. I have a doggie door for pets to come in and out. I can also close it off to control access outside. I always leash my dog when going on walks.
“Herschel had a great stay with Susan! She was easy to make plans with and asked lots of questions about his care before his stay. I could tell she really wanted to make sure he was well taken care of. Her home has a safe outdoor area that he can run around in. He can be a handful but she did a great job with him!”
About: Hello! My name is Samantha and I am 26 years old. I joined rover to earn some extra money while spending some time with furry (or non furry) friends. I have volunteered at local shelters and have watched the animals of my family and friends since I was about 10 years old. I treat each and every animal with the love, care, and respect that they deserve. I am very compassionate and take the time to tend to one’s animals as if they were my own. My rates are flexible depending on the animal(s), and the situation. I am able to flex my schedule around your needs! I work full time but I am able to work remotely if needed and can take breaks throughout the day if necessary. I often do not watch animals in my home due to my 5 fur babes. However, depending on the situation, and the animal, a short stay in my home may be an option. Hopefully I can be your next pet or house sitter. I have recommendations upon request. I am looking forward to speaking with you soon!!
“Serena and her family did an excellent job taking care of our 4 month old puppy. She was given lots of attention and walks each day. And the update messages and pictures were a great way of keeping in touch during our first time away from this new member of our family. Thank you for making us feel comfortable with our choice of sitter!”
“Matthew is super nice and friendly and took great care of our two small dogs and one cat. We could tell he really loves animals and was immediately treating our girls like they were his own! Our dogs usually need a long time to warm up to strangers but they immediately were very comfortable with him! He also has a very friendly French bulldog that is sweet and playful but also will give space if your dogs don’t want to play (ours are not the playful type). All and all - highly recommend Matthew!”
“Mattie took such great care of our dog Hobbes while we were away. We had never tried Rover before but after the level of care, attention to detail, how much activity and play time Hobbes got we will be requesting Mattie from here on out. 10/10”

“Desire is the best pet that Apollo has had. We live in colorado and were attending a wedding so we needed a petsitter ASAP. Apollo and Scooby loved being with her. She took several videos and photos while they were there. She took the dogs to parks, long walks. They loved her dogs, they are very friendly and playful. They were great hosts. Thank you for taking care of my babies”

“Kailee is the best. She stayed at our house and took care of our three cat. Two who take a pill twice a day. She sent photos and updates. We had a late flight and Kalie left the lights on for us and collected the mail without us asking. We highly recommend her. She is awesome!”

“Jennifer has been wonderful with Winnie. She walks and plays with her during her drop in times and Winnie gets a break from the crate. I feel comfortable knowing she is in good hands. I highly recommend Jennifer!”
“To start, our kitties very quickly warmed up to Aidyn. This combined with the fact that she is also a cat owner basically helped ensure comfort and peace knowing our babies were being taken care of while we were out of town. Aidyn is quick to respond and was sure to periodically provide updates and pictures of how things were going. We experienced no issues whatsoever from start to finish. Hoping Aidyn is available for our next trip!”

“Brandy responded quickly with concerns. Brandy let me know when she was there caring for my cat, Harvey and when she left. However, upon returning home the litter box had not been cleaned for a few days and the larger water bowl was a bit dirty. My other cat, Amelia passed away naturally before Brandy was scheduled to attend to her needs. I appreciate she attempted to get a reduce rate since she was only caring for one cat, Harvey. I have to say her work was good. It was comforting knowing my one cat was being taken care of since my other cat died just prior to her scheduled time. Also, Harvey is hard to spend time with since he is extremely shy. I did appreciate the pictures taken.”
“Alicia did a wonderful job with my cat, Shirley who is pretty shy with new people. She sent me photos everyday, which was great! She took very good care of the house and I wouldn't hesitate to use her again!”
“We were nervous about leaving out cats with someone we didn't know, but throughout every step of the process, Olivia was courteous, friendly, and explained the process. She cared very well for our cats and we will definitely use her again!”
About: I own 3 cats myself and love them dearly. I have always connected with cats and feel so honored to have their trust. I am able to administer medications to cats and will ensure their boxes are cleaned regularly. Play time and loves are always a must!
“We had a wonderful experience and would absolutely recommend her! Our cats are extremely shy and decided to stay hidden during her visits, but that didn’t faze her at all. She arrived right on time, followed all of our instructions carefully, and did a fabulous job making sure everything was taken care of. It gave us such peace of mind knowing we had someone dependable and conscientious looking after things while we were away. She was reliable, responsible, and clearly takes her work seriously. We came home to everything just as it should be and two perfectly well-cared-for (if still very antisocial! 😂) cats. We would happily book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable pet sitter!”
“Kaelin is amazing! She is SO professional and kind! My two rescue pups (mini poodle and terrier) adored her from the moment they met her and my cat Gordito loved her! She has incredible experience working at veterinary offices, and it was obvious from her knowledge and questions. She gave my cat his insulin shot, without any issues! She sent me the most awesome message, letting me know everything she had done, how Gordito was, and sent several pics! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, professional and warm animal sitter!”
“Athena s the ultimate cat care giver! She is conscientious about sharing updates regarding how our cats have been doing in our absence. She is very supportive and easy to work with and has a relaxing presence which was a superb match for our cats. We could not have asked for more and will not hesitate to request her services again!”
“Kristina was wonderful! She kept us apprised of how everyone was doing daily which was great. But most importantly, the cats were happy with her. She was able to medicate those on meds the first day - which for a bunch of indoor/outdoor cats and someone they don’t really know is amazing. We also had to make some last minute changes in our plans (because ice) and she was completely fine with that. We also loved that she had experience with chickens and exotic birds as we may be adding those to our family. We very much hope to work with her again.”

“Garrett was AWESOME! He handled my three Siberian Huskies with ease. His attention to the dogs was top notch (especially monitoring their heat levels during this warmer weather) and his photo updates were adorable and very appreciated. Highly Suggest!”
About: I’ve had cats and dogs for the past 30 plus years. I’ve walked them, bathed them, made their food, cared for them when sick and loved them. I have a lovely, safe walking neighborhood for dogs, a fenced yard, and everything I would need for a dog to have a cozy stay with me.

I have a fenced yard that’s very safe. I don’t plan on watching more than one dog at a time. That way I can devote all my time to the one who’s staying with me.

“Kaelin was amazing with our 10 week puppy Midnight!! Midnight is shy around new people but warmed up to Kaelin quickly and had the best time playing and hanging out with her all day, I know that we’ll be booking her again as soon as we can especially since she sent pictures and updates to us that really helped our anxiety with leaving her for the first time!!”

About: We had a family dog from the time I was a toddler. The first dog was a Doberman, then the next family dog was a Springer Spaniel. My family also volunteered as puppy raisers with Guide Dogs for the Blind and we raised 5 guide dog puppies. One flunked out of guide dog school and came back to live with us until she was 13. Later, I volunteered with Guiding Eyes for the Blind and helped puppy raisers with their new puppies, and weekly helped teach the classes from 12 weeks when the puppies first arrive to their puppy raiser homes, up to 18 months when they leave their puppy raisers the puppies get trained before they go back in for their formal under harness training for their blind person. All 9 years of work there we used positive reinforcement with the dogs and helped the puppy raisers. I also attended some classes with Guiding Eyes on dog body language. I also have my own rescue dog who I adopted during that time and he has had positive reinforcement training since I adopted him. I now assist owners with training or behavioral needs they may have for their dogs to make the owners and the dogs happier and more peaceful living. I also have added a list of other services, from boarding in my home, to house sitting in yours, dog walking, drop in visits, or daycare in my house. I am working from home and available basically all the time, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and over weekends as well. Days: M, T, W, T, F, S, S I don’t have kids or cats. Just me and my one 10 year old personal dog are in the house. I live in a condo and don’t have a backyard, but I have always walked my dog in the neighborhood and gone to hike at Lake Chabot which is only a 12 minute drive or at Oakland hills parks.

“Very kind and had kept communicating with me during his entire stay! I can tell he bonded with her and I appreciate her flexibility and understanding when plans needed to change. I will absolutely love her to care for Andrè again!”
About: I’m a caring, responsible, and dependable dog sitter who treats every dog like part of the family. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m happy to provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, cuddles, and companionship. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Weekends are my best days to provide the most care. I do work a part time job and will be able get back to your pup in the afternoon. I like to do walks in the morning before work and if they are dogs that like a good walk id like to bring them. I have a large fenced home where your dog can run, play and even dip in a kiddie doggy pool. I do have 2 dogs at home that are extremely friendly and would love to have play dates.
“Julianne and Ragen let Milo into the center of their lives for ten days while I traveled. He got lots of lap time, snuggles, treats, walks, and got to sleep on their bed, which made him comfortable when I couldn't be with him. They noticed a scabby wound and messaged, asking my permission to treat it; it healed well. Daily, I got a report on Milo; many days a pic, too. This was only the second time I was away from him this long. I was privileged to feel he was so safe and loved. It let me enjoy my trip without worry. Julianne and Ragen have had their own small dogs. They knew how to care for Milo and did it well!”
About: My name is Sophia! I am 27 and I have been around animals most of my life. I always try to understand any animal and pet. Making sure to get to their level and accommodate them in any way I can. I currently have one doggie, one cat, and a fish. They are all super sweet. I train my dog often at home and the public parks. She loves cats and other doggies. My cat keeps to herself and she will often follow us on walks with our doggie. We take walks daily around the neighborhood. I have a fenced backyard and live in a duplex. Always feel free to message with any questions! 🐶🐱🐾 I work in the medford school district. I work monday thru friday 7am to 2pm and I am off weekends. I have a boyfriend who works later shifts, so pets won't be alone until 10am. We have a fenced back yard with a doggie door. My cat and dog let themselves out when they need to. My dog is kennel trained and usually is in her kennel when no one is home, but we leave her out when we aren't gone long. I make sure everyone has water in the morning and evening. We walk our dog around the neighborhood twice daily. One in the morning and one in the evening. I have fenced backyard. I have a doggie door for pets to come in and out. I can also close it off to control access outside. I always leash my dog when going on walks.
About: Hello! My name is Samantha and I am 26 years old. I joined rover to earn some extra money while spending some time with furry (or non furry) friends. I have volunteered at local shelters and have watched the animals of my family and friends since I was about 10 years old. I treat each and every animal with the love, care, and respect that they deserve. I am very compassionate and take the time to tend to one’s animals as if they were my own. My rates are flexible depending on the animal(s), and the situation. I am able to flex my schedule around your needs! I work full time but I am able to work remotely if needed and can take breaks throughout the day if necessary. I often do not watch animals in my home due to my 5 fur babes. However, depending on the situation, and the animal, a short stay in my home may be an option. Hopefully I can be your next pet or house sitter. I have recommendations upon request. I am looking forward to speaking with you soon!!
“Matthew is super nice and friendly and took great care of our two small dogs and one cat. We could tell he really loves animals and was immediately treating our girls like they were his own! Our dogs usually need a long time to warm up to strangers but they immediately were very comfortable with him! He also has a very friendly French bulldog that is sweet and playful but also will give space if your dogs don’t want to play (ours are not the playful type). All and all - highly recommend Matthew!”
“Mattie took such great care of our dog Hobbes while we were away. We had never tried Rover before but after the level of care, attention to detail, how much activity and play time Hobbes got we will be requesting Mattie from here on out. 10/10”

Over the years my family and I have had numerous dogs, rats, hamsters, cats fish goats and chickens I work full time but have time before and after work to feed, walk, play or just sit and hang out with your animals. I can also come and visit during my lunch breaks. I'm happy to stay overnight in your home or have your fur baby stay with me! I have a ½ acre that is completely fenced out in the country. lots of room for your dog to run. I can also stay at your home if that's where your animals are most comfortable. I will make sure they are fed and always have water available. I want your dog to feel like they are at home and safe

“Best sitter I’ve had through Rover for our beloved Rottie, who is the family’s fur baby! She provided updates and pictures throughout our vacay which we absolutely loved! Excellent communication & she treated our Rottie as if it were her own.”
“Review is for cat boarding. That sounds like a sport but you get the idea - my cats stayed with Kaelin, who had generous availability on short term notice. 2 cats, 6 nights, 0 problems. Kaelin is an absolute gem. Pre-stay she held a call to learn the specific needs of my cats and throughout their stay she picked up on components of their personalities I didn't even think to share. One of my girls is considerably shyer than the other, but Kaelin made consistent and ultimately successful efforts to engage each cat in a manner comfortable for them. Her patience calmed my shyer cat and her energy and thoughtfulness invigorated my more excitable/curious cat - she picked up on beneficial ways to interact with each of them that could not have been covered alone by what I shared with her pre-stay. Kaelin is clearly someone who has a profound understanding of and deep appreciation for animals, and she takes seriously how much they mean to us, her customers. Kaelin paid incredible attention to detail, was able to tailor every aspect of their stay in ways beyond what I requested, and she provided consistent updates with photos and videos of the two, often focusing on activities she intuited that I would be wondering about (How is shy Summer utilizing the space and responding to interaction? How is playful Autumn being allowed to explore and see outside? etc.). Through the way she was engaging with my girls and seeing how they, in turn, responded to her, it is so clear that Kaelin approaches her work with immense passion and care. It put me at ease throughout my entire trip, and it was clearly an excellent experience for my girls as well. Cannot recommend highly enough, will absolutely be a return customer.”
