House Sitting in San Mateo

This was my first time having a private sitter watch my two 40lb rescue dogs. One is very chill. One is from an abusive background and has separation anxiety. Hub and I had an event about 4 hours from home. The hotel was pet friendly but we were afraid Riley (anxious one) would tear up the room. We did not want them in a kennel. We made the decision to hire a sitter. I was terrified to be honest. These are our babies. I found Rover, began looking at profiles and kept coming back to Adam. There was something kind and genuine about his words and photos, of his own dogs and client's dogs. We made contact via text and hit it off immediately. He is articulate, obviously intelligent and above all, kind. He is all about the dog's well-being. He asked a lot of questions and was extremely patient and reassuring with me and my questions. We texted each other all thru the week and he was VERY attentive to get back to me. On the day of meeting he let me know where he was (he had to travel a bit, too), he let me know where he was and when he got to the room he came with a bag of interactive puzzle toys, whiffle mats, all kinds of goodies for my babies. The thing I felt immediately was his sense of calm and again, he was all about our dogs and getting to know them. I thought I was going to be nervous leaving but I felt really good about the situation. It was obvious this man knew dogs and dog behavior. While we were out he texted me pics of Riley (the nervous one), laying next to him sleeping!! I was over the moon happy. My girl Bella was also asleep on the other bed. I never dreamed it would be so easy for us and I'd be so relaxed. I am not just pleased with Adam, I am grateful to having found him. I have no doubt he could have handled anything that came along. Even though we live a good distance away, we will stay in touch. He's not only a fantastic sitter, but he's a dog trainer to boot. A responsible, thoughtful man and I would not hesitate to refer him to anyone I know, but also to those that I don't. This is, without question, a man you can trust with your own beloved dogs.

Cheyenne was great with the pups. Only did 4/5 because we booked a house sitting stay and got more of a drop-in service twice a day. Would use again in the future for drop-in situations.

I always had photos and updates from her and communication was great! I would definitely trust her with my pets again and would recommend her 100%. Thank you for everything!

If I could give Matt 10 stars I would! He helped me in an emergency situation where my other rover canceled mid babysitting and he treated my dogs like his own. I will definitely be using him for ALL future bookings. He kept me informed when he was coming and going and also sent so many pictures!

Amazing! Max Loves Sydni!! We can leave knowing Max is well Taken care of!! 5 star!

Megan was fantastic! I would highly recommend her to anyone, definitely our first choice moving forward.

Katelyn was amazing! Our dogs LOVE her! She was at our hose for 13 days and took such great care of everything. Katelyn kept us posted with pictures and daily communication. We travel often for work and pleasure, this has been the least stressful trip we've taken and we owe it katelyn/ Rover... I recommend her 100%! You will not be disappointed! Not only is she great with animals, but she's a great person! She will forever be our first choice...

Does great with my sassy dog.

Wow!!! What an amazing experience!!! ShaRonda communicates extremely well, is very punctual and accommodating!!! The four dogs really enjoyed their time with her and were relaxed while we were away. The house was nice and tidy when we returned! I highly recommend her if you need a responsible animal loving care giver while you are away. Thank you ShaRonda for making our vacation so relaxing!!!!

Cathryn was so kind and sweet to my Brodie! She took great care of him all weekend long and made sure to send me pictures of my baby. She followed all of my instructions and had no issues all weekend. Brodie loves her and we will definitely be using her services from now on. Thank you Cathryn for a stress free weekend!
