“This is Watusi’s second time staying with Karen and from all of our pup-dates it seemed like she had such a wonderful staycation! She had daily walks and playtime as well as some rest and relaxation. We love how responsive and organized Karen is. We loved getting our daily updates about what they were up to. It is never easy leaving your fur baby behind when you travel but Karen puts us at ease. We will definitely be booking again when it is time for our next adventure. Watusi is looking forward to it! Thanks Karen!”
“Just picked up our fur baby! She is soo happy and well-loved. Words can’t describe how grateful we are to know Zoey stayed with a safe and loving family while we were out of town. It made our day to receive the pictures and videos of our girl. I didn’t worry for a second that Zoey had the attention and care we give her at home. We’re already planning on Zoey’s next stay!”
“Our dog Franny had a wonderful stay with Tom while we were out of town! He sent us pictures of her adventures everyday, which was so comforting to see her having fun while we were away. She enjoyed spending time outside in their large backyard and really loved going on those long daily walks. Franny is already looking forward to the next time she can go back to stay there! 🐾”
“Ann took great care of Boba! She was incredibly patient and understanding, especially since Boba was in heat at the time and can be a little shy when adjusting to new environments. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. We truly appreciated her attentiveness and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Jenny was amazing! She was very communicative and attentive any time we talked, she proactively provided daily updates and made our doggy feel right ay home.”
“This was the first time using this service. We were worried at first, but Lorena is absolutely the best! Enjoyed that we would receive daily pictures and updates. Definitely would recommend her if she is in your area.”
“I could not have asked for a better sitter for Rosie. I got multiple texts with images and updates. Esther is also very accomodating with answering any questions or addressing any concerns. Her dedication and care and her countless photos put my mind at ease. My dog is older and she has her quirks but Esther provided a safe environment for Rosie. I felt a peace of mind and I will not hesitate to work with Esther again.”
“Juan was amazing! Bucky had an amazing time, I really appreciated all of the photos and he even worked on some training with him. He was also very flexible with me, which I am so grateful for.”
“My dog is very particular. Have tried different sitters and none really connected with Benny until Jeanelly and Wilbur! We visited them and Benny instantly connected with them in the first visit. Their home is friendly and felt like home for Benny. Very kind and commutative people.”
“Max had a great time at Diana's. She was such a good host and provided updates throughout the day with pictures. In our eyes she really went above and beyond, and we will definitely be using her whenever we go out of town.”
“Hui was amazing and i’m so grateful for her. She was super great about sending us pictures and updates everyday and i could immediately tell that my cat Misubi was well loved and cared for. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Rocio and Miwako were amazing! Great communication, lots of videos and photos. My dog looked so happy, got lots of walks, and lots of love. I always get nervous and sad to leave him but I wasnt worried at all while he was with Rocio and Miwako. Thank you so much!!”
“Every single time, I am always more in awe of how much fun my pup has with David and Jenn. Pictures and videos are great and the care is top notch.”
“Madeline and Charlie took the best care possible of my dog Pedro! From the first meeting they made us feel like old friends. Pedro loved his stay with them so much! How could I tell you wonder? Yes, he was glad to see me when I picked him up, but I could tell he didn't really want to leave his friends, that he wanted for both of us to stay! Madeline and Charlie will take excellent care of your pet!”
“Sarah is always welcoming and loving to our furry daughter. She is super communicative through text and pictures, and Shiva always looks forward to spending time at her home away from home! We are so grateful to have a sitter who we know is taking great care of our doggo.”
“The hosts were amazing with Kimchi! She has a lot of energy and they took her out on walks and to the park to get some of it out. My girl was very happy and well cared for, will be rebooking again, no complaints. A very loving family to my fur baby”
“Wonderful experience with a seasoned sitter. Mollie was introduced to me by Rover and lives nearby. It was great to work with her and she had a great demeanor with my dog. They had fun and I looked forward to daily updates and photos. I felt my dog was in great hands and she seemed at ease with Mollie and staying in her home.”

“Our kitties really enjoyed Samuel’s visit while we were away for Christmas. He took very good care of them and we would be happy to book again! We had a small hiccup after realizing our old address was being used on my profile but Samuel was very cool about it and all was sorted. Please book him!!”
“Veronica went above and beyond for my cats and I! Not only did she stick to the time for the planned drop in visits, she made sure to protect my packages from the rain while I was away. She also pulled in my trash can. I would highly recommend her and I will be using her again for my next trip!! Thank you so much.”
“This is my second time booking Tim, and just as before, he did a great job. Tim gave me regular updates, pics, and voluntarily went above and beyond the usual sitter expectations. My two cats are familiar with and fond of Tim -- I don't even know how he does that. I have no problem recommending Tim for anyone who needs peace of mind for their pets.”
“Kristin checked in on our cat while we were on vacation. Usually he hides when we are gone, but he came out and greeted her on a few occasions. Kristin's communication was excellent and she took good care of our cat. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter!”

“Ryan is friendly, punctual, responsive and loves my kitten. He also goes well beyond his specific duties. He takes very good care of my special 10 month old kitten. She was hit by a car and has no bladder control. She try’s to get to the litter box but never makes it. Ryan contends with all her messes. Thank you Ryan.”
“Andria was amazing!!! I had a few issues and last minute changes and she worked with me no matter what! it’s hard to leave my baby and I can tell how much fun he had with her. She definitely gave me a peace of mind and always sent pictures. I recommend her 100% if you want someone trustworthy and loving to your baby! Andria thank you again! will definitely be re booking”
“Abby did an absolutely amazing job! She stopped by my apartment to make sure my dogs was eating, walked them for 15 mins and playing with them for 10 mins. She did an amazing job checking on my dogs. I will definitely be using her again for my future needs. Highly recommend!”
“Vivian is my #1 choice of cat sitter for my babies! We’ve counted on her for almost two years now and she is so trusted with our kitties. Always a great communicator and goes above and beyond in making sure our babies are comfortable! I cannot recommend her enough.”
“Amazing! So communicative and went above and beyond for my fur baby. Would definitely recommend if when you’re on vacation, you want your pet to feel just as much love as you’d give them. I was never worried about him and was able to relax and enjoy my vacation and look through the amazing pictures she took of him too🥰”

I know Karen will be my first go-to person to care for my little angel. I recommend Karen wholeheartedly! She’s wonderful!”
“I really appreciate Juan for being able to take my dog for a day of day care at the last possible minute. We had came in from out of town which added to my nerves about leaving him in someone's care but Juan sent me constant updates of Clue playing and enjoying himself while in his care. If we are ever in town again and need services, we will definitely reach out! Thanks again!!”

“Cecilia G was a Godsend. She took in my Rooney as her own pup & loved on him the whole day. I appreciate the pics, videos, & updates of how my baby's day was going & I could absolutely tell how happy he was. Also upon pick up, he was super happy. I recommend her to future clients. Thank you!”

About: Hi! My name is Francy, and I have over 16 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. From small lap dogs to large, active pups, I’m comfortable and confident providing safe, loving care tailored to each dog’s needs. I also have experience caring for dogs with special needs, including administering medications and supporting diabetic pets. Your dog’s health, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. In my home, your pup will enjoy: • 3–4 daily walks 🐕 • A large, secure backyard for playtime 🌿 • Plenty of attention, love, and supervision ❤️ • Daily photo updates so you feel connected 📸 I follow your dog’s routine closely and make sure they feel at home, safe, and stress-free. Please feel free to contact me anytime—I’d love to care for your furry family member! Pet care is the central part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule around the dogs in my care to make sure they receive consistent attention, exercise, and supervision throughout the day. Each day includes multiple walks (3–4 times daily or as needed), feeding based on their usual schedule, playtime in my large backyard, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I am dedicated to this fulltime, which allows me to closely monitor their behavior and ensure they feel safe and comfortable. I also make time to provide updates to pet parents with photos and notes at least twice a day. If a dog requires medication or has special needs, I carefully follow their routine and instructions. My weekly routine is very flexible, so I can adapt to each dog’s specific needs and energy level. Pet care is not just something I fit in—it’s a priority in my everyday life. I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment whether pets are in my home. Dogs are treated like part of the family. I follow their regular routine for feeding, potty breaks, and sleep to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. Daily walks, plenty of playtime in my secure backyard, and lots of attention throughout the day. I always supervise interactions and create a calm environment where each dog feels safe.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for animals of all shapes, sizes, types and breeds. Whether your pup needs a walk, some playtime, or loving care while you’re away, I’m here to help! I provide reliable, caring, and personalized attention to make sure your furry friend feel and are safe and happy. Pet Owner Pet & WildLife Rescuer Volunteer Foster Addition references included in photos. I Love All “My” Doggies 🐶 & Kitties 🐱!! 🥰 I also have experience with bunnies, birds, aquatics, and reptiles. I have a flexible schedule and am home often with the exception of errands, appointments or other Rover (and non~Rover side jobs), throughout the day and week. Any exceptions to my availability is regularly updated on my Rover calendar. House/pet sitting; I am available to discuss this option, but as a pet parent, can be challenging to accept but I definitely will work with you on the details, to make sure everybody’s taken care of in a timely manner, ie potty breaks. I have done pet care in my home along with overnight stays at client’s homes. I have also done dog/puppy and kitten fostering for local area shelters since 2019, as well as on my own, rescuing countless pets and reuniting lost pets with their owners, for decades. I treat all animals the same way I would want mine treated. Your beloved pet becomes THE VIPet, in my home. My pets are fully vaccinated and on monthly flea and tick preventative. I am relatively new to Rover as a pet care provider. True to my nature and love for animals I fall in love and care for each, and every one, I care for in and outside of my home. For dog walking services: Summertime: I prefer before 11 AM or after 7 PM, to avoid excessive overheating of your pet and the ground and when there is normally shade throughout the typical neighborhood in which they can be walked.
“Honey had an amazing time. She was well taken care of and happy. I recieved multiple updates throughout the entire day letting me know she was doing well. She had all the attention and breaks she needed. All of the family and dogs were very welcoming which made Honey's first stay away from home even more successful. In just one visit this has become Honey's second home. Breanna and her family make sure all dogs needs are met and go above and beyond to ensure the dogs are happy and owners are at ease with updates. Honey will be back and I would recommend Breanna and her family to anyone looking for daycare or even a long stay.”
“Jennafer was absolutely amazing with my dog, Gary! He had such a great time playing with her dog Duke, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. She even gave Gary a bath, which was such a thoughtful extra touch. I really appreciated how caring, reliable, and accommodating she was, especially on short notice. I highly recommend Jennafer — 10/10 whether you need a quick last-minute sitter or regular Monday through Friday care. Gary came home happy, clean, and well cared for!”
“Sarah was an amazing pet sitter for my bulldog, Canelo! She was quick to respond, very courteous, and incredibly responsible. I felt at ease knowing my pup was in such caring hands. I highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable sitter!”
“Jenny was wonderful with our Oakleigh ! She is communicative and attentive. Jenny sent pictures to keep me updated throughout the day. Thank you so much. Her daughter was so sweet and helpful too. Thank you both for taking such good care of Oakleigh.”
About: I've owned to dogs in the spanned of 12 years. Both 100 plus pounds, I've also worked with medium size breeds and toy breeds. I also own exotic and cats. I have worked in the retail industry catering towards animals and have volunteered sitting for farm animals. I'm at the moment working towards a degree in veterinary medicine full time. I do not work so this would be my main source of income. Since I am fully dedicating previously my time to school. Close monitoring and calm approach to any situation or environment are essential when it comes to the care of animals in my possession. Patience and building a bond is also very important and key to building a long lasting relationship with my animals.
“Outstanding! This was our first time leaving our puppy with a sitter, and Tambre was fantastic. She took great care of him, and sent us periodic photos of him, which was very reassuring. We will certainly be using her services again!”
“Jessica has been an absolute BLESSING! She took care of my two doggies while I was in town. She sent updates often, was very flexible and I can’t even express how thankful I am! She’s very sweet my girls love her so much. Thank you so so so much 🙏🏻”
“Christopher has been caring for my dog now for a few months and I feel very fortunate that I was able to connect with him through Rover. He is very professional and reliable, always accommodating and easy to work with and schedule. He gives valuable feedback and information to help me understand my dog better and takes special interest in training and working on her behaviors that need some refinement. As much as he is great with dogs, Christopher is an excellent communicator and eager to help. Most importantly, Christopher is a good person and someone that you can trust with your pet. I cannot give a stronger recommendation for his services.”

“Andria has been a real help to me this past week with all the weather uncertainty. She is responsible about communicating….. and on time when she is committed to a certain date and time. I think her qualifications are more than adequate for the responsibility she carries in walking our precious pets.”
“Veronica is the absolute best! I’ve been in the hospital but she’s been coming by to walk my babies and they love her so much. It helps while I’m missing them. I know they’re getting exercise and love in my absence.”
“Thanks for always being available to help us out even on short notice! Will is great with our pup. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a great Rover! All the best Will.”
“Ryan was fantastic with Lalo! I was away on a retreat and came home to a very happy, well-cared-for pup. Ryan was incredibly diligent about walks, feeding, and making sure Lalo stayed hydrated and safe. It’s a huge relief to find a sitter who is this reliable and attentive. I highly recommend Ryan to anyone looking for top-tier care for their dog. Five stars!”
“Sam was very attentive and helped out greatly when we requested small details for the dogs. Definitely will be using him in the future and highly recommend him.”
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was a child. We always had a family dog and as I got older family friends would hire me to pet sit and watch their dogs, big and small. Now, I have a rescue pup of my own and love every minute I spend with her. She’s a very reactive dog, so I have experience dealing with reactivity, and we work on it daily. I will treat your dog as my own and give them the best care. I look forward to meeting your pup and having the best time! I’m employed full time, so I’ll mostly be available for evening and weekend play times! We can go for walks or spend some time at the park! I’m happy to do whatever is the normal for your pup so their routine is not disrupted. We can play in your yard, go for a walk, or snuggle on the couch, whichever they prefer.
About: As a pet owner, I am aware of the importance of quality animal care! With this in mind, I am happy to provide that for fellow animal lovers. I have two cats that I care for daily as part of my routine. This includes food, water, litter maintenance, grooming, as well as stimulating playtime. In my home, I am grateful to be able to afford vet recommended animal food, as well as quality treats and grooming supplies. I treat my animals as an extension of me, and the quality of my care reflects that.
“Andrea is the best. She’s polite and our dogs love her! Our youngest dog Kate saw Andrea on a walk recently and got SO excited to see her even from a distance. That is testament enough. I’d give six stars if I could.”
About: What sets me apart from other caretakers is the care and attention I give to every pet. Each pet is different they have there own personality and needs. I make sure that your pet feels loved, comfortable and is safe. I am dependable, patient, and committed to following your pets routine while keeping you posted for a piece of mind. I currently have a small business and I am a college student at UTSA. Right now I am on summer so I am flexible to walk your pet at any time. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean litter box, plenty of attention, and playtime when they want it. I also keep owners updated and make it a priority to be reliable, respectful of their home, and on time for every visit.
“Cristina is super professional and prepared. She cares for our furry daughter like she is her own. She’s courteous and engaging. She communicates well and takes her time while on walks. I highly recommend her!”
About: I have been pet sitting for about five years now and have experience with many different sizes and breeds of animals! I raised a lamb, goat, and a guide dog in high school and personally, I have owned a Cavachon, and a Labrador. I used to work at a dog daycare for about a year and I volunteered with Animal Defense League! Currently I am on summer break and so I have full availability! In the fall, I will only go to school on Mondays and Wednesdays. I never take my eyes off of a pet, especially if we are outside. I always make sure that they are next to me when passing someone else or another pet on a walk and redirect them is needed. I always greet animals I do not know calmly and gently, I never want to overstimulate them.

“Wonderful experience with a seasoned sitter. Mollie was introduced to me by Rover and lives nearby. It was great to work with her and she had a great demeanor with my dog. They had fun and I looked forward to daily updates and photos. I felt my dog was in great hands and she seemed at ease with Mollie and staying in her home.”
“i booked boarding for my 5 cats while i was out of town and thanks to wen, i was able to enjoy my trip without worrying about my kitties :) she sent updates and pictures of the kitties and even sent them home with brushed coats! i would definitely book again ☺️”
“I can't say enough good things about the care my dog received. During one of the hardest times in my life, when my brother passed, they stepped in last minute without hesitation and took amazing care of my little fur baby. They kept me updated the entire time. Knowing my dog was safe, loved, and well cared for gave me real peace of mind when I needed it most.”
“We were confident that Lady Joy was in good hands. Dave took care of her like she was his. He walked her every other day and when I went to pick her up I could see how much affection and trust she had for him. His daughters loved playing with her too. Would definitely recommend him.”
“Ellie loved her stay with Sarah & Fanta! Sarah was great with communication and sending me videos & updates on Ellie. She was very attentive and noticed her allergies acting up and changes with her eating habits. Ellie gets sad when I’m away and tends to just pick at food instead of eating as normal. Sarah noticed and was able to add in an egg for her! I appreciate her for this effort and care!”
“This was a great first experience for me using Rover! I chose Sabrina because of her location and if I take a trip again she will automatically be the first one I contact again for future bookings. She kept me updated on Katsu multiple times a day and sent me pictures as well. Katsu can be a bit high energy and she worked great with him and told me she would like to have him over again. We've found our go-to dog sitter!”
“Yvonne was great! She was quick to communicate back to us and she was very flexible on pick up and drop off. She sent plenty of pictures and our dog seemed to really enjoy all of the walks she took her on. Will definitely use again.”
“From the moment we arrived, I knew my dog was going to be loved and well cared for. The sitter’s daughter wanted to help carry Tilly’s things from the house to the car, and when she saw Tilly at the door, she screamed, “Mom, there’s a dog!” with so much excitement. That immediately made me feel comfortable leaving my pup there. The sitter was also very attentive and asked thoughtful, relevant questions to make sure Tilly would be properly cared for and comfortable during her stay. When I picked her up, Tilly was happy, healthy, and you could clearly tell she had a great time at their home. I highly recommend this sitter for any pet owner — especially those like myself who consider their pets their children for lack of having their own. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing Tilly was genuinely cared for and loved while I was away.”
“Best dog sitting experience ever! The fact she has a huge park next door doesn't hurt! Priscilla is amazing! Sent pictures and could tell Raven had a great time! I had a last minute booking and Priscilla came to the rescue! She has a wonderful family and Stormy is such an adorable Yorkie! We will def be booking with them again!”
“This is the 4th time I use Renee and I couldn’t be happier. She’s reliable and takes such great care of my fur baby! I have a small chihuahua and he’s calm and to himself. He typically doesn’t like other dogs but with Renee he has such a great time and gets along really well with her dog and her families dogs when they visit. If you’re looking for a great reliable dog sitter, Renee is the sitter for you!”
“Kathy is wonderful - she sends pictures and lets you know exactly what is going on with your dog, she is flexible, reasonably priced, and most importantly of all, makes sure she does everything she possibly can to keep your dog happy and safe. We have been continuing to uae her services for a few the past few years.”
“Snehal and Vivek took great care of my dog, Mocha. They were sensitive to her anxiety and made her feel at home. Snehal and Vivek’s two dogs are a bit older as is my dog which also helped them bond quickly. I appreciated the frequent pictures and videos, especially when their toddler was snuggling up with my dog. Will absolutely reach out to them again when we need someone to care for our dog.”
