“We were out of town when our dog sitter called and she had to go to the hospital. Jamie and Patrick stepped up big time and saved our vacation. I was so worried about my dogs and I was so far away from them, but she assured me not to worry she had it covered. She took exceptional care of my dogs and baked me a pie! They are absolute life savers!!”

“Abigail was everything we could have hoped for in a sitter! She was responsive and understanding, gave us updates on how our boy was doing, and was very flexible with doing what we asked of her. She took great care of Indigo and he loved her. We will definitely trying to be use her in the future!”

“Tracy was immaculate. We contacted her last minute because our usual sitters are no longer available. She was so quick to respond and fit all our standards for great care of our 2 dogs and 2 cats while we went to a trip for 6 days. She gave daily updates with extensive details so that I wouldn't miss out on anything going on. Her passion for dogs shines and we cannot thank her enough for the love she provided while we were away. I highly recommend Tracy!”

“Most importantly, our 2 dogs loved Christine! She was timely, followed our instructions impeccably, and communicated with us perfectly. We came home to happy dogs, a happy bird and everything in order at the house! We highly recommend Christine! We will be booking her again.”

“Savannah is a fabulous pet-sitter and just an all-around great person. She is super caring, very conscientious, and detail-oriented. She took great care of our two dogs and left the house sparkling clean. We loved having her care for our babies.”

“Henry cared for Gracie Mae and Max well. They seemed very happy when we arrived home. Henry was good at getting back to us with questions about the dogs and he provided the extra walks we asked for - which I feel is so important t to keeping them in their routine and giving them some outside exercise and stimulus. Very happy to have had Henry care for our dogs - he seems very adept at handling big dogs and I felt very comfortable leaving them with him.”

“Amber's relaxed and gentle approach won the confidence of my elderly reclusive cat almost immediately. She left our house in great condition. She was responsive to communication. I will definitely use her again.”
“Elizabeth did great with Scout! I was hesitant about leaving him with a stranger because he's an elderly dog and can be a bit finicky, but she took great care of him and there were no issues. We returned home to a very happy dog!”

“Juan was great! He came to my house last minute while my husband was in the hospital and stayed with Bacon for us. He took great care of our baby. He actually had him come back the next day to help again.”

“Lucy did a wonderful job housesitting for our dog and cat. We returned to happy pets and the house being in great shape. She sent updates and a picture each day which we really appreciated! We will definitely use her again.”

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember, and started caring for friends’ and family’s pets at 15 — walking, house sitting, and even boarding in my own home. After graduating university, I worked seasonally while keeping pet care as my favorite side gig. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets and families across the country, in every environment imaginable. Whether it’s a high-energy pup or a laid-back cat, I’ll make sure your fur baby feels safe, happy, and loved while in my care. I’m currently in between seasonal jobs so I have plenty of time right now to walk or check in on your pet! Early mornings, evenings, or that pesky middle of the day pee that’s just out of range from your office lunch hour, you can count on me! When coming into your home I believe it is so important to act with the utmost trust and respect so that not only you feel comfortable having me there, but so your fur baby feels comfortable with me in their space! After all, I am a guest in their home so I always try to enter with care and adjust my energy to the emotions and needs of the pet I’m looking after!
“Sheyenne was wonderfully accommodating with Shadow’s needs. She let Shadow sleep on the bed with her and gave her lots of love and petting. I would use Sheyenne again in a heartbeat!”

“Super flexible, and saved my vacation! Ace got sick a day before we left and she was able to make sure he got the care he needed. Erin has a lot of patience and was able to work woth me for my reactive GSD. Thank you Erin!”

About: Growing up there was never really a time when I wasn’t surrounded by them animals. So I learned pretty early on how to properly take care of animals from my parents who used to foster them. I have walked, boarded, dog sat and etc for the last few years and have taken care of both senior pups to baby pups both big and small bred. Some breeds I have watched after are pitbulls, poodles, yellow labs, shitzu’s and a few others. Growing up with animals I have definitely grown a huge love and care for them and is one of my favorite things to do. When watching someone's animal I like to make sure I know all the rules, and any extra specifications they may have for their pet, like medications or any special daily tasks or notes. I also like to make sure I reassure the owners and let them know that they are leaving their pets in well-experienced hands by keeping them updated on everything as they’re away. I think what sets me apart from other sitters is my comfortability with animals whether they are huge or tiny and I think my love, truly caring, experience and availability also makes me an easier choice. And would be honored to help someone out with their pets! As of right now, I am unemployed. I’m willing to work whenever at whatever times. I’d prefer ongoing schedules but I’m flexible so anything works. If there are any questions about my availability plz message me. As of right now, I’m unable to board pets at my place. But if I'm at the owner's house taking care their pets, I make sure to follow the instructions they left for me, as well as respect their home while I am staying in it. I also make to play and take the animals for walks or anything extra that the owner would like me to do with their pets.
About: I have five cats and a lizard at the moment. We have also had many dogs boarding with us in our home for the last three years. I will be starting college in the fall and need some part time flexible work to meet college expenses. With college classes I will have the flexibility to take great care of people's furry friends. I will exclusively visit pets in their own homes. I have a flexible schedule due to college classes. I am also available for house sitting.
“Cheryl was great! She let us know how the pups were doing with texts and pictures, and they were relaxed and happy when we got home. We'll definitely use her again!”

“Jennifer is great! She is reliable, punctual, and trustworthy. Most importantly, she took great care of my two little dogs; she sent daily photos and updates, which was very reassuring. I didn't worry about a thing while on my trip. I will hire her again and I highly recommend her!”
“Monique came to the rescue to look after our Golden retriever when I went into early Labor. She stayed over nights and made sure our pup and home were well looked after. Thank you so much Monique”

Vista Montecito pet parents share their Rover experiences
Savanah is an absolute rock star! Prior to staying for a week, she came by and met the pack and got familiar with everyone! They immediately loved her! While I was gone, the communication was perfect with updates and check ins! The fur fam clearly loved her! When I got home, the house was cleaner than when I left it! I could not recommend her more and will absolutely be working with her again!

Isabella is always caring and loving with our dogs. She did great with an added member to our pack. She also is communicative when things come up. She let me know when family memebers stopped by to visit the dogs. She is great with sitting and drop-in bookings. We recommend her as a pet sitter.

Peggy house sat for me watching my dog and two cats for about a week. The animals all looked like they had a great time and Peggy provided updates and photos daily. Communication before and during my trip was fantastic, and I’ll be looking forward to utilizing her services again in the future.

Amber is wonderful and will definitely hire again. Gave tlc to both fur babies and pics of them while we were gone were a added bonus. I felt at ease that she would take care of them and she did. Highly recommend she is trusted with my furbabies and i am a protective mom. Amber was recommended by another customer that uses Rover and so glad she recommended her to me.
