“Roxy got so much love from Jenna’s family. I could tell how happy she was around them and she was actually really sad to leave! I hope next time we’re in the area Roxy can see her friends again. Thanks so much.”
“I would highly recommend Anusha as a pet sitter! She took care of my doggie while I was on vacation with my family and I didn't have to worry about a thing. She sent us a lot of pictures, videos, and regular updates that made me feel at ease that my doggie was in great hands and enjoying himself. She was able to cater to my dog's specific personality and make him feel at home which I truly appreciate.”
“Sofiya and her family are amazing ! She is Very kind and caring! I always choose Sofiya to look after Yogurt. ! She is always keeping Yogurt active and entertained, Yogurt is enjoying her time with you all! Thank you so much for all your help ! 💕”
“Deana was a fantastic host. We did a last minute booking for Christmas. She was kind enough to watch Luca. Deana’s place was amazing. Lots of space for Luca to run around. She kept me updated on Luca’s status and sent incredible pictures. We loved the one of Luca with reindeer horns auditioning for Santa’s team. I strongly recommend Deana should you want your kids to be taken care of the way you expect.”
“Hannah was great either way my senior dog! She was very accommodating and took great care of Sally! Hannah played games and took walks with my dog and consistently updated with pictures and videos! I will use Hannah in the future and would highly recommend for others.”
“Sabrina did a phenomenal job with our dog! I was really worried as our guy is 16 years old with dementia and requires medication. She took care of him as if he were her own and even her kids loved him! I so appreciate that she was patient with our dog, since he can be a bit of a handful sometimes (ie. He paces a lot, requires medication, needs to be hand fed). I completely recommend her to anyone who’s looking for a sitter! Thank you so much!”
“Our puppy was super happy staying with Jennifer! She’s above and beyond with communication and pic updates. She’s very good with dogs as well and our puppy came back calm & settled. Would def recommend / rebook! :)”
“We had a wonderful experience with Jennifer. I appreciated her speedy responses when we were messaging back and forth to set everything up. You can tell that she and her family really love animals. Our dog Kona got a walk in every day we were gone and Jennifer kept us in the loop with pictures and updates on how the weekend was going. We already have our next booking with Jennifer set up. Thank you Jennifer!”
“Thank you so much for taking care of Trixie during our recent travels. You two are the best! It's hard for us to leave Trixie, but we are always comfortable leaving her with you. And I think she settles in with you quite well! Best, Judith & Mike”
“Beth watched our Jack Russell and she was great! She was very communicative while we were away and sent lots of photos and updates. We felt very comfortable leaving our pup with her and will definitely use her again.”
“When our regular sitter wasn’t available for the last night of our vacation, Christy and Cornell came to the rescue. Zoey was very happy and cared for at pickup and they were great communicators!”
“Sophia was amazing with my 10 year old rat terrier, Bailey! Bailey loves a lot of affection and slow walks where she can spend a lot of time sniffing and Sophia provided that and more! Bailey is a silly/goofy dog and I really appreciate that Sophia loved that about her as much as I do! This was the first time Bailey has stayed at another house without me since I adopted her 2 years ago, so I was feeling nervous leaving her. But Sophia was so communicative and responsive and it made me feel very comfortable while I was away! I was able to enjoy my trip knowing/seeing that Bailey was so happy and loved by Sophia and her family the whole time. Thanks so much, Sophia! We will be back!”
“Debra did a great job of making us and our dog, Skye, feel welcome. She sent us daily updates with pictures of Skye with her family or out taking walks. She was a last minute provider for us as our usual care person was not available for the dates we needed. She only keeps one guest dog at a time. Skye and her dog, Ginger, got along well.”
“Second time Ty stays with Jennifer and she and her family is great! Definitely Ty is going to stay with her every time we travel and she is available. We feel very comfortable when we are traveling and Ty is under her care. Thank you so much one more time for the great help and care. Happy New Year!”
About: If your dog has energy to burn and loves being outside, I hike multiple times a week and would love to bring your pup along for a 1, 2, or even up to 5-mile adventure, based on their energy level. This is a great option for high-energy dogs who thrive on longer walks, fresh air, and real enrichment, leaving them happily tired. I also offer dog boarding and daycare for workdays or weekends away, with a fully fenced front and back yard for safe outdoor time and play. If you’re looking for something more than a quick walk or need reliable care while you’re at work or out of town, I’m happy to chat and see if it’s a good fit! 🌊🐕 I typically have all day availability on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, with additional flexibility for longer walks, hikes, and quality time as needed! 🐾 Dogs are cared for in a safe, calm environment with close supervision and plenty of attention. A fenced front and back yard provide space to play, and two friendly dogs offer great, well-matched companionship.
“I just wanted to share how incredible my experience with Tianrui was! We had an initial meeting at her place to see how my dog would interact with me and her, and it went very well. Tianrui kept me updated daily with morning messages, as well as midday or evening updates, along with photos and videos. She was very attentive and paid close attention to everything I mentioned about my dog. She even picked up on a few cute, quirky things my dog does on her own. Tianrui was my first boarder using Rover, and I will definitely reach out to her again for any future boardings! Missy had the best five nights making new friends and bonding with Tianrui ◡̈. Thank you for watching Missy and taking such excellent care of her!”
“Juliana took fantastic care of Max and Dora. She made sure they got plenty of walks, and we were so happy to see they had such a great time. We felt so confident leaving them with her and will definitely be back!”
“Nancy is awesome. I had my dog Colby stay with her for a weekend. Nancy and her family treated us like family and went completely above and beyond. She is absolutely sweet but also incredibly professional. 100% recommend. Colby is going to stay with her again soon.”

Aptos dog parents share their Rover experiences
Marlene, Miguel, and their family were fantastic to work with! We boarded our pup last minute, over a holiday, and Marlene was super accommodating. This was our first time using Rover and Marlene made it easy. She was great about sending pictures and putting our minds at ease. Her own two dogs are very sweet and friendly—our guy had no issues being part of their pack. Highly recommend ☺️
Bethiah and her Hubbie are the BEST people. They are active and loving. Our pup does not warm to all humans but at Bethiah’s house she fully sprawls on her back for tummy rubs. She got to go to the beach all the time, got snuggled into her bed and even got some time to chill in the Van life van! I cannot say enough about this family and how much we both trust and appreciate them. Thanks guys!!
