“We really appreciate Payton's patience with our dogs, her regular updates and photos, and the piece of mind we get from having her taking care of them!”


“Kacey and Elizabeth were absolutely amazing. Our family could not have asked for a better first Rover experience. We’ll continue to use them to care for our pup when we’re out of town. Timely, excellent communication. Totally exceeded my expectations!”


“Leah is so kind and understanding. From the first time meeting her, she made us feel comfortable and confident in her helping with our two very large and sometimes chaotic dogs. She listened to our concerns, their quirks, and all the information we threw at her. Finding her has been a huge relief knowing we have her to help us out when needed. She is the best!”


“Cristina was on time and gave extra love to my big babies while I was at work. Tons of pictures of their adventure during the day. Highly recommend.”


“Samantha was fantastic! My cat seemed to really enjoy hanging with her and she was very responsive and a great photographer too. I would definitely recommend her!”


“Erin is a fantastic pet sitter! Buster Posey and Panda Sandoval fell in love with her at her initial home visit. She came by twice a day and fed and played with them. I’m always anxious leaving my pups but Erin made it so we can travel more often! 10 out of 10 stars!”


“Whitney was willing to check in on my new puppy, Ollie, after having him for only one night and not a lot of information on his temperament. Whitney communicated quickly and kindly, which I very much appreciate. As a first time Rover user, it's a little unnerving having someone come over whom I never met, but Whitney completely put me at ease. She provided pictures of Ollie having fun with bubbles in the back and gave him a report card for me to look at. I'm definitely going to ask Whitney to return soon!”


“Ashley walked and feed my dogs in the morning and afternoon. She was diligent with leaving me a picture and making sure they were good to go.”


“Markita was very communicative and kept our little guy safe and loved. Appreciate you so much!”


“Jenna was great for checking in on my pup while I was at work! She took lots of photos and a video of their time at the park. It’s easy to tell she genuinely enjoys taking care of pets and spending time with them. I’ll definitely continue having her take care of my pets!”


“We asked Kevin for drop-in visits to take care of our puppy for a couple of days. Kevin was always on time, and he was very thoughtful. We appreciate all that he did, and we plan to re-book at the next opportunity.”

About: I have always loved animals. My mom loves to tell the story about when I was young, and playing soccer, and ran off the field to pet a dog instead of playing the game. I grew up with a special needs dog and am no stranger to having to do things out of ordinary for our pets. Growing up, I was often called on by neighbors to watch their pets when they were away, but even as an adult, I have the pleasure of watching our friend's pets while they are away too. From walking, to bathing, to adhering to strict diets or cleaning regiments, I've been through it all. I am currently a Graduate Student at CSUS, and aside from having to attend classes a couple times a week, most of my time will be spent at your home, allowing me to be around your pet most of the time, making sure they are happy and healthy. Unfortunately I will not be able to have pets come to our home, however, I will do my best to make sure any pet I take care of gets everything they need. This is not just water and food. This is ample play time, walks, scratches, affection, attention, and even snuggles should the pet want that. I treat every pet like my own and give them the best care I can, because, simply put, I love animals. They deserve our best because they give us their best.

About: I love spending time with all pets and often watch pets for close friends and families when they are unable to. I have built trust with these families and their pets come back happier each time! Recently, I have graduated from high school and am on summer vacation before college. I have all the time in the world to put towards caring for your sweet pets! I have a fenced in yard and two small dogs that would love to play with yours once they open up! I also have all kinds of toys and treats that your pet will love!

About: With a dog of my own- I know first hand the importance of finding care for your dog and knowing they are safe and loved. I’ve always had dogs my entire life. I have trained all of them and treated them like my fur babies. My dog Honey and I love going on walks and meeting other dogs for her to play with and me to care for. I work very close to home and come home during my lunch to let the dog out. I also take her out on at least two walks a day and several trips outside in the yard. I’m always home on the weekends. My home is dog friendly and safe with a large backyard, walking trails nearby and even a dog park! My dog is allowed on furniture and your dog is too!


“I could not have chosen a better person to watch over my babies. She was so understanding, so helpful, and so attentive. I came home to very happy pets. Should I have to go somewhere again, I would definitely contact her again first. Yvonne, thank you, thank you, thank you.”

“I am pleased to provide this reference for Cedric, who has been an outstanding dog sitter for us over the past year. Cedric has cared for our Husky Nala on multiple occasions—both for short weekend stays and longer vacations—and each time, he has exceeded our expectations. Cedric is incredibly responsible, attentive, and clearly passionate about animals. He followed all of our instructions carefully, kept us updated with daily photos and notes, and made sure Nala felt safe, exercised, and loved while we were away. We returned home each time to a happy, healthy dog and a clean, well-maintained home. His reliability and genuine care give us complete peace of mind. I wholeheartedly recommend Cedric to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter.”

17. Matt B.
“My three dogs love when Matt comes to sit for them. We have a special needs dog that gets different food and medicines. Matt has always fed him correctly and hasn’t missed any medications. Beyond the feedings, Matt seems to be very attentive with the dogs based on their reactions when he arrives. Our dogs love when he comes over. If the weather and time permits, he usually takes all three dogs on a walk too, which can be a handful because our pug doesn’t behave well on the leash. Matt’s my first call for pet sitting needs.”

“Jenna is our go to when it comes to our dogs and our home. She is excellent with our dogs (great dane and pitbull, and previously a pug as well). Jenna is communicative, responsible, and most of all loving to our babies.”


19. Monica A.
“I cannot recommend Monica highly enough! From the moment we met, it was clear that she has a genuine love for animals. She took excellent care of my beloved dog, Ace, while I was away. Ace can be quite anxious when I'm not around, but Monica's calm and nurturing demeanor put him at ease immediately. Throughout my trip, she provided regular updates, including photos and videos, which reassured me that Ace was happy and well-cared for. She went above and beyond by taking Ace on long walks and playing his favorite games. Returning home, I found Ace relaxed and content, which is a testament to the exceptional care he received. Monica is reliable, professional, and clearly dedicated to her work. I will definitely be booking her services again in the future. Thank you, Monica, for taking such wonderful care of Ace.”
