“Our dog had a great time with Denise and her husband. She had a backyard to play in, a porch to sit on, and someone to play ball with her. She came back happy and tired. Denise sent plenty of pictures, and responded quickly when setting up the stay. Highly recommend!”
“Boarding with Ashley was an amazing experience. She was able to sit for us last minute, which was great. Ashley communicated with me throughout the day, with lots of pictures and updated. My dog seemed very comfortable with her. We will definitely be booking again.”
“Alicia and Randy are wonderful pet hosts!!! The care, attention, professionalism, follow up, and the love they have for their furry clients are just a few examples of superior work. You can instantly tell that they have a genuine love for animals, my Lola was treated with love and great care. I recommend Alicia to anyone that is looking for a safe and loving place for their pets stay. Thank you a million times Alicia, Randy, and their pets Cruz and Azalea for opening your house for Lola.”
“Lily had another great daycare with Christianna today. As always, she was well taking care of and got plenty of exercise. Would definitely recommend her as a Rover.”
“Linda was great with our cat Millie. She sent us updates throughout the stay, gave her medications on schedule and did everything she could to make her comfortable. She gave us peace of mind while we were out of town. We will definitely be using her services again!”
“Melissa is awesome!! She cares for our pups as if they are her own and sends us updates throughout their whole stay. Love trusting her for our animals when we’re out of town!”
“Christine was wonderful with our girl. We highly recommend her for your next dog sitting. Mochi loves to visit and play with Christine. She is queen for the day. Thank you for taking such good care of her. We never worry when she is with you.”
“Kerry and her family treat our dog like absolute royalty!! He’s welcomed and cared for as if he were their own. We always pick him up happy and clearly spoiled with love. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter.”
“Thank you so much to Ms. Anika! She is the best! She has been watching our furbaby for about 4 years now and I don’t know what we would do without her. Her love and care allowed us to have a 9 day worry free family vacation❤️”
“Susy was great with our Zoey! Zoey is very attached to us and we were very nervous to leave her, but Susy soon stole her heart! Zoey made herself right at home and quickly became protective over Susy, which means she must have been giving lots of love and treatos to Zoey. Susy sent lots of pictures and updates that showed just how much love Susy was giving Zoey and how much fun Zoey was having! Would definitely recommend trusting Susy with your pets :)”
“Kimberly is amazing! She took such great care of Tally and went above and beyond. Plus she shared photos of Tally enjoying her stay. Thanks Kimberly!! Highly recommended!!”
“Alexis was amazing! She took phenomenal care of our little girl! She sent daily updates with pictures of our little angel. We had a great and stress free vacation due to her over the top and phenomenal care of our little girl. I would recommend her 1000 times over!”
“Nikki is absolutely amazing. My dog is very nervous around people, she did not rush him. Initially, I reached out to have her handle some dinners a couple of times a year but then I had an unexpected death in the family that required me to go out of town for seven days. She was wonderful working around my schedule. We received multiple updates showing how happy he is hanging with her family and dogs. This meant the world to us knowing he was is such good hands.”
About: I provide a calm, structured home environment along with attentive home visits. My goal is simple: for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I’m home the majority of the day, which allows me to provide consistent supervision and attention. Because of this, your pup won’t be left alone for extended periods. My home is clean, pet-safe, and designed for comfort. I intentionally limit the number of dogs I board at one time to ensure each pet receives attentive, high-quality care. Located in the desirable and safe Pembrooke neighborhood, I also provide regular photo updates so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away.
About: I have over 30 years of caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes-including rescue dogs. It is a dogs world-I just pay the bills!! Hi there! I have taken care of and loved dogs all of my life! I currently have two dogs at home- Ryder who is a 7 year old yellow lab who loves to play fetch and cuddle and CiCi, a six year old shepherd mix who loves to explore the backyard and play. Both of my dogs are very dog friendly and love to play. I work from home most days and am available on weekends. I have half an acre of fenced in back yard that allows your fur baby to have endless zoomies and potty breaks! I also take my dogs on frequent walks to get their exercise on as well. Dogs are welcomed on the couch. Interactions and meals between dogs will always be supervised. Please let me know how I can best fit your dogs needs! I have a spacious house that allows allows dogs to relax and have their space. My backyard is half an acre and fenced completely. I enjoy walking my dogs for both physical and mental exercise. I always ensure the safety of my dogs and will care equally for anyone who trusts me with their pups.

California dog parents share their Rover experiences
I had anxiety about what to do with our 6 month old pup during our 2 week visit overseas until I met Jacqueline. She's a confident dog owner that understands dogs! She kept us posted with daily pictures and videos of Bode having good times with ever patient Clover and all the other dogs. It felt like we sent him to a doggy summer camp. Booking with Jacqueline was above and beyond what I was hoping for.
