House Sitting in San Mateo

Cheyenne was great, pups seems to like her a lot

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.

Jeremiah was so thoughtful on sending so many pictures of my baby while I was away from her. He kept me updated on their walks. She seems exhausted after her walks and looked very happy in her photos I received.

Scarlett did an excellent job taking care of my 2 pups. She kept me updated how they were doing and sent daily pictures. The dogs were well taken care of and happy. I’ll be asking Scarlett to watch them next time I’m out of town. Thanks Scarlett for your help. Brendan D

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!!!!

Laura took excellent care of our 2 dogs and 2 cats while housesitting! She kept us updated throughout the day on how they were doing as well as sending lots of pictures. Would definitely book Laura again!

Adriana did an amazing job and was so sweet to my puppies. She was very responsive and was overall amazing!!!

Spoiled my 2 dogs and 5 cats (in a good way) while we were on a 9 day trip. Has a great rapport with animals in general - my dogs slept with her while we were away. Even one of my most shy kitties warmed up to her. Bonus was a clean house when we came home.

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!

Cristal was an absolute angel! She helped pet sit when we were new to the area. She was able to settle my dog and cat in their first three days in a new home when my husband and I had to travel. She was patient affectionate tidy and sent frequent photos and updates about the dog and cat. I would absolutely recommend her and will be using her again in the future!

Charles was great to work with. He was very communicative and sent picture updates daily. Will certainly request to use his services again.

Jessica watched our pup Newt for the weekend, and she was fantastic! She made us feel completely comfortable by coming by beforehand to meet him and learn his routine. During her stay, she was attentive and responsible, never leaving Newt alone for more than a few hours and always home by 9pm for the night. Her communication was excellent, responding promptly and asking thoughtful questions to make sure everything was just right. The photos she sent showed how happy and relaxed Newt was with her. We’re so grateful to have found someone who clearly loves dogs as much as she does and look forward to her next stay.
