Arabelle was a joy to work with! She was meticulous in her planning and knowing what needed to be done for Floki, plus making sure she had all emergency numbers and what to do in case of an emergency. She made sure Floki was was very well cared for while we were away and even brought him a new ball to play with! He was walked, fed on time and played with in our yard with frequent communications so that we could see all of the fun he was having. I would highly recommend Arabelle to anyone that needs overnight care or even daily check ins. She was just what we needed and expected for our fur family and will be using her again for future day trips and longer vacations!

About: I am an experienced pet sitter who has cared after both cats and dogs over the last 8 years. Through either personal favors for loved ones in my life or paid opportunities, I give all animals the time, energy and attention they thrive off of (which sometimes can be a less-is-more situation)! I will strive to make it a stress-free experience for both you and your little one! I do request that we have a Meet & Greet before finalizing bookings to ensure your I can get all relevant information and learn about the pet I'll be looking after. If I seem like a good fit we can get a booking finalized, I will be consistent with messages and updates for you, as well as enrichment and care for the furry friend! For the time being, my schedule is largely open after September 9th. Let me know what your ideal pet sitting situation looks like and I can likely accommodate. I am happy to follow the rules and routines you have set for your pets. I don't have any of my own and would prefer to keep animals at their place of residence for their comfort. If I know an animal and they are comfortable with me, I would reconsider for future sittings after an initial experience.

Pauline is so phenomenal with my dogs. She sent me multiple photos and videos, which I absolutely love. She is patient and caring with them. She is also very responsive and attentive to detail. This is my second time using her for dog sitting and I hope to be able to use her again for dog sitting needs.

About: Hi! This is a joint account with my partner and myself. We cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes since we were young of age. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted us for years to walk, feed, bathe, and give loving attention to their pets. We are experienced with both energetic puppies and senior dogs who need a gentler approach, and we treat every pet as if they were my own. This is a joint account with me and my partner. We always have full availability and always are looking to take care of your pets! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow any specific routines or instructions you provide. I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well looked after, whether that means sticking to feeding schedules, administering medications, or keeping their environment clean and comfortable. I always respect your home and your pet’s space.

About: I’ve grown up in a home with dogs and have always been comfortable around them. I had a Labrador before, so I’m very familiar with daily care, routines, and spending time with dogs. I graduated from UC Davis with a degree in Animal Science in 2025 and also have some experience interning at a vet clinic, which helped me better understand animal health and behavior. Since summer 2024, I’ve been helping friends with dog sitting, walking, and boarding. I’ve done three long-term stays (over a month each), so I’m comfortable caring for dogs for extended periods and helping them settle in. I’m responsible, patient, and happy to send updates and photos while you’re away! I’m currently a student, but I have good availability in the mornings before 8am and in the evenings after 5pm, so I’m able to do walks and spend quality time with your dog during those hours. I’m also flexible on weekends and can adjust based on your pet’s routine. I’m happy to follow their usual schedule to make sure they feel comfortable and well cared for. I live in an apartment right now, but I make sure pets have a clean, safe, and comfortable space. I take dogs out for regular walks and make sure they get enough exercise, attention, and care throughout the day. I pay close attention to their behavior and always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding, routines, and any special needs. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease.

We had to leave our goldendoodle for three days while out of state. She had not been left alone since being boarded at our vet 4 years ago, so we had concerns. Heather was wonderful! She came to our house twice before we left to learn our dog's habits and become familiar with her. Heather stayed at our home during our time away. She followed our dog's schedule to perfection (feeding time, potty time, nap time, bed time, play time, etc.). The day after our return, our dog was looking around for Heather. Heather also updated us regularly, including photos. I would recommend her highly, and hope to use her again.

Ellyäna was a fantastic cat and house sitter! She was easy to communicate with, very respectful of our house, and clearly helped our two kitties feel comfortable while we were gone. I especially liked her voice memos with detailed updates about how everyone was doing. I would definitely recommend her services!

About: One of my first pets ever was a black and white cat named Simba, who was referred to as my sibling. In recent years I have taken care of my family dog, Tank, a small dog who lives up to his name. I have also cared for friend’s pets when they are out of town for weeks at a time. Pets are part of the family and I understand how deep the love is! I have such a respect for all animals and look forward to caring for your little sweeties :) I am currently working on a hybrid schedule that allows me flexibility during the day. I can be available for quick visits, walks and longer stays. I live in a dog friendly apartment complex with many grassy areas. I also love going on walks at nearby trails or taking dogs to parks. Cuddles are always welcome, but I also respect dogs that want their space.

About: If your pet needs to stick to a schedule, I will be sure to manage medicine, potty breaks, etc., to a T! I have had cats since I was a kid and currently live with an extra-small dog! I'm very vigilant and detail-oriented, considering my XS doggy can get sick easily. I'm between jobs at the moment! This means my time is very flexible! I can fit in morning, afternoon, evening, and night walks and sittings! Unfortunately, my landlord only allows my small dog on the premises. But I'm more than able to pet-sit in-house at the owner's home. I'm very clean and can clean out a litter box or wash/put away toys while sitting. I also keep my hands to myself when at a home. I love petting cats and dogs, so I will definitely show your lovely animal some affection.

About: I have 2 cats of my own - Layla & Mimi! They both have completely different personalities. I’ve been a cat sitter for 4 years now and I love it! Every kitty has their own little attitude and personality that makes them unique. It’s the best meeting new kitties and becoming that person their parents can call to keep on eye on them 🐱🥰 I’m currently working full-time from 9-5pm on weekdays. I’m available after 5pm on weekdays and before 8:30 (location dependent). I am available anytime on weekends. My home is not equipped - it’s an apartment. I have no problem following any/all rules. The goal is to maintain the best, safest environment for your pet!

This was my first time booking a cat sitter through Rover - Jen is phenomenal! She is so kind, and was consistent, reliable, thorough, and thoughtful in taking care of my two cats and home. She went the extra mile by showing care about understanding the cats’ routine, bonding with them, sending updates, and keeping things clean in my absence. It was so nice to trust that the cats were being well cared for while I was away at a research conference, and Jen was perfect with communication/updates. I will definitely be a repeat client of hers!

Arabelle was a great pet sitter for my Emma. This was the first time I had someone come into my home to care for my cockapoo. She was trustworthy and got along very well with my Em. She kept her on a regular schedule during the day. Arabelle provided multiple walks and playtime. Emma hasn’t played much in sometime so I was very pleased that she was able to peak Em’s interest again. Arabelle kept my home tidy and clean as well. What a kind and well educated doggie professional !

Geordie is a stubborn lovable Corgi who has never been left with a sitter before. Gabriela did wonderfully with him. Primarily, she has an air of responsibility about her and I felt safe to leave. I had been worried about it for weeks. No worries. Geordie was well cared for and I’m very grateful.

Katherine was above and beyond my wildest expectations! I had never left my kittens with a stranger before and was super nervous. She did a meet and greet, sent me regualr updates (and the cutest pics), and made sure my girls were the number one priority. My kittens definitely fell in love with her and her daughter over the course of the week. I can't imagine a better sitter!

Jassmyne took care of our cat (Tati) for a fairly long stretch (2 weeks), and she was fantastic. She was very communicative throughout, sending lots of pictures and updates, and she handled it calmly when Tati came down with a small cold. She also took great care of our house while we were away. Tati clearly liked her. I strongly recommend Jassmyne!

Conor spent 24 hours at our home with our elderly dog overnight. We arrived home to a happy, calm pooch and our home was just as we left it. Conor was timely, respectful, communicated well and sent photos. He even left a note for when we got home. We appreciated meeting him prior to booking and will definitely use him again in the near future. Thanks Conor!

He followed every direction/request without an issue, went above and beyond by offering to give Honey medication before he left, took photos promptly, and cuddled her when there was a bad thunderstorm, will book again!

I was so pleased with Joo’s ability to connect with my 2 dogs. Both are rescues and have specific needs: Lizzie is fearful and very anxious; Quigley was a stray—perhaps for years—and is house trained only when his human is home. She handled both of their needs with compassion and kindness. They warmed up to Joo quickly. Joo sent my photos and videos of my kids while I was away. It was obvious that they were having a really good time. That put my mind at ease and a smile on my face.

Veronica is amazing no other words can describe her. She house sat and took care of our little Luna. She was patient, caring and loving toward her and they became best friends really fast. She went on daily walks with Luna fed her exactly as instructed, played with her and really she was just exceptional. Before we returned and at the time that she was supposed to take off, there was an 1.5 hour interval, first of all she was happy to stay but we asked that she should not because it was very late at night and we wanted to make sure she gets home safe but when she was leaving our Luna she was so sad to see her leave that she was howling! At that point I had found a competition as I have been the only person Luna has howled for so that says a lot about how much Luna loved her. She respected our home and when we got back everything was as we left it. I would say she is exceptional and look no further if you need your dog happy and safe.
