“Taylor was great with our pups. And he kept the house very clean. So nice to know when we are away that the dogs are in good hands, and when we get home that they’re happy & the house is in great shape.”
“Taylor was very good with Hunter. He had a couple of skin infections and she was on top of it! He had a trip to the vet and a trip to the ER. She made sure he had his medicine, daily exercise, food and water, and made sure he wore the dreaded cone. Taylor took very good care of him. Taylor gave us daily updates and pictures of Hunter. If she had a question, she asked. Taylor also stayed at our house. She treated it as her own. Everything was in order when we came home. Bedding (ours and Hunters) was washed. We were very pleased with the care Taylor gave Hunter and our home.”
About: Hi we’re Benjamin & D’asia! We’ve been watching dogs/house sitting for 7 years together! We’ve also owned a few dogs in our lifetime! We love BIG dogs as well! We’re flexible and attentive with our schedules! I’m a pastor and he’s a firefighter so flexibility works well for our schedules since we don’t have 9-5 jobs and crazy office hours.

“Bethany was fantastic! She took care of Toby like he is her own dog. Toby takes medication twice a day and she administered his medication. She is reliable, responsible, thoughtful, patient and kind. We will definitely book her again.”
“Jennica is literally the best dog sitter we have ever had! River looks forward to her coming and has the best time when she is here. Jennica does a great job communicating how things are going, sends pictures and lets us know if she needs anything. We have worked with Jennica several times and will continue to do so as long as she wants to tolerate our pup’s energy :/)”
“Stephanie stayed in our home with our two boys for 3 nights and was absolutely amazing! She sent pictures, updates and was so kind. Our hearts were at ease knowing they were in great hands while we were out of state. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“It broke my heart to leave my cat Louis home while I was away for work for 11 nights but David did a phenomenal job house-sitting, taking care of her. He was responsive, sent regular updates, he even managed to steal her heart. I highly recommend David and would definitely book him again if I ever have to leave my girl alone for an extended period”
“Amanda house sat for our two dogs and she was great! One of our dogs has medical conditions that require medication and supplements and the other is a 75lb high energy puppy. She was great with both of them. She sent us pictures every day which made our vacation much less stressful knowing they were being taken good care of! Thank you Amanda!”
About: With a decade of experience in house sitting and personal pet care, I provide trustworthy and attentive services tailored to your pet’s needs. My background includes caring for various breeds, ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve while you are away. I specialize in creating a comfortable environment for your pets, whether it involves daily walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company. My commitment is to ensure your furry friends feel safe and happy in their own home. Pet care is seamlessly integrated into my daily routine. I prioritize my schedule to ensure that I dedicate ample time for walks, play, and training sessions. Each day begins with early morning walks, allowing pets to enjoy fresh air and exercise. Throughout the day, I maintain a flexible schedule that accommodates feeding times, medication administration, and regular check-ins for any special needs. My evenings are reserved for quality bonding time, ensuring each pet feels loved and secure before bedtime. This structured yet adaptable approach allows me to provide consistent care while also being responsive to the unique needs of each pet. In my home and my clients’ homes, safety is paramount. I conduct thorough assessments of the environment to identify potential hazards and ensure a secure space for pets. I use baby gates to restrict access to unsafe areas and keep harmful substances out of reach. During pet care visits, I maintain a clean environment by regularly sanitizing areas where pets spend time. I provide updates via text or photos during visits to reassure them about their pet’s well-being. Additionally, I create a calm atmosphere by using familiar scents and toys from home, helping pets feel comfortable in new surroundings. My goal is always to foster a safe and nurturing environment where pets can thrive.
About: I was raised with dogs but have always loved all pets. I had a senior dog that passed a few years ago but I was the master at getting him to take his pill. Now I have cats but I still love all pets equally! I am the go to pet sitter for may of my friends and family. I have even had friends fly me out to sit for them while they’re on extended vacations! I work from home and my schedule is pretty flexible so I’m available to attend to your pets needs on a pretty open schedule! Walking is easy for me to take a break during my day and stop by or if you’re looking for a pet sitter in home I’d be able to stay there and just work from your house! I have two cats in my home so while I won’t be able to bring any pets into my house I am more than willing to step in and take over whatever routines you have at your place.
“Linda is wonderful! She truly loves dogs. She treated Flo like her own. We canceled this bokking once because of Hurricane Milton then rebooked after the storm had passed and we made it through unscathed. Linda, however, had lost power at her house. We will definitely book with Linda again-- if she is available! She is understandably in high demand.”
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats and even exotics ever since I was a child. My major in college was Biology and my first job out of college was a Zoo Keeper. I then became a dolphin trainer working and training several types of dolphins, river otters and pelicans. The past two years I have been a Vet Technician working at a large animal hospital. Animals are my passion in life so any chance I get to be around them, I will! I am currently a full time student again and also working four days a week. Any free time I get I enjoy getting outside or relaxing. I am mainly free on week nights and some days depending on class schedule. I will not be watching pets in my own home due to having a cat myself that gets stressed around other animals in his own space. I will watch other's pets at their home and follow their instructions as given.
About: I've been in love with animals (especially dogs) since my family Golden Retriever "Ginger" as a child. As an adult I raised a beautiful Chihuahua from a pup named "Moose" who was my whole world! I have always been the go-to amongst any family and friends to care for their precious pet(s) when they have needed me. I also had a family member working a 24 hr vet clinic that I still keep in contact with and have access to if ever needed. From potty training puppies, giving IV fluids or injections to senior dogs when required, to skin care for numerous skin conditions, I have experience with most issues a dog can have. Most importantly, I have no animals in my home currently which means any dogs that come to stay with me will have my undivided attention. I quickly become attached and your family member will be taken care of as if he or she is my very own. If they have any special requirements or instructions ,I will adhere to them to the letter. If being spoiled rotten is one of those requirements...that is what I specialize in. Please give me a chance. The best part of my day has always been coming home to a dog. I am currently home and available everyday for the time being. That may change at some point in the future. As of right now I have complete availability. I have a fenced in back yard for your loved one to play, do their business, or dig and get out some energy if needed. They will never be unsupervised even though there is nothing dangerous to them to find or get into. Sniffing and exploring is encouraged so they can know where they are, and most importantly, to feel safe. If I am visiting as a guest in your home any and all rules and expectations will be strictly observed. All pets will be treated as if they are my own. All property will be treated the same. I take the privilege of being welcomed into another home very seriously.
“Phenomenal service! She home sat for us and our crazy dogs while we were gone out of the country for a week. She kept us up to date with text and pics. She also helps us during the week doing daily drop ins. Highly recommend her!”
Viewpoint On The Bay pet parents share their Rover experiences
Two of our regular Rovers moved, so it was a little stressful to find a replacement rover, but we lucked out with Kathryn. She's great with providing updates and photos. Our dogs were so comfortable they acted like we were never gone AND it was over the Halloween weekend! (A time when they usually get super stressed out with all the door knocks). Kathryn worked her magic at keeping our pups safe and secure and gave me a sense of relief knowing they were well cared for. We will definitely be coming back to her for future trips, because I can trust her with all three of my dogs and my home! She's officially part of our pack now. :)
Cindy did a wonderful job taking care of Bailey and Lulu! She sent lots of pictures and made sure they were happy, loved, and well cared for. I could tell they got plenty of cuddles and attention. She also took care of everything while I was away, which gave me such peace of mind. I’ve been using this app for over three years, and Cindy is by far the best sitter I’ve found. I’ll definitely be booking her again for my next vacation. Highly recommend!
Maria is wonderful!!! I was so nervous leaving my babies (two Shih-Tzu mixes) in someone else's home and for a 2.5 week trip overseas - the longest I've ever been away from them. But she put me at ease immediately! It's so clear how much love she showers on the animals she cares for and how much knowledge she has as well. She sent me photos, videos, and messages daily and reassured me. They were completely at ease in her home, well cared for, and having fun too! I was able to quickly relax and enjoy my vacation. I would not hesitate to leave them with her again and, in fact, have already rebooked. Thank you, Maria. Moxie and Tonks can't wait to see you again.
Hailey is the best! She handled our wild husky so well! She provided us with updates, pictures, and kept us at ease during our trip! She is so nice and courteous and treated our home with care! It’s great to know we have someone we can trust our dog and home with!! Will def be using her again!
Ashleigh took amazing care of our two babies again while we were on our honeymoon. We had total peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Even Pars, who usually doesn’t warm up to people easily, ended up loving her! She left our home spotless and even surprised us with a sweet welcome gift. We couldn’t ask for a better sitter and would absolutely trust her again. Highly recommended!
Macy is amazing ! Even though it was a super last minute booking she managed to take care of our Kylo. Kylo was well taken care and spoiled by Macy! She took amazing care of our home as well and can’t thank her enough for making the last minute arrangements! Definitely will always book with her !
