“Olivia and Sebastien took great care of our dog Mowgli! They were super responsive, kept the dogs very active, and shared lots of updates throughout the weekend. Their dog was great company for our pup and our dog seemed to really love staying with them, would recommend to anyone!”
“May and Marc were outstanding! They really cared for our puppy while we were out of town and updated us daily! We will definitely use their care services again! Thank you May and Marc!”
“The entire family was so wonderful with our puppy! They cared for him, loved him, played with him, and integrated him into their lives for the three days he spent with them! Bandit was so happy to be loved by so many family members! We will definitely be asking them to care for Bandit any time we are in town visiting with human family! Simply cannot thank these awesome people enough!”
“Takako and her husband were amazing! This was my first time leaving Gracie and they made me feel so comfortable about everything. I received daily updates and photos from Takako and they took such good care of Gracie. It was so easy to coordinate with them. I will definitely have them watch Gracie again in the future. I highly recommend!!”
“Ehda took wonderful care of my dog, Snowy, over the Christmas and New Year break. She has such a warm and kind personality, which immediately put me at ease. Snowy was clearly very well cared for and happy during his stay. Her apartment was also extremely clean and well maintained, reflecting the high level of care she provides. This will definitely be my go-to place for Snowy during future vacations, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter.”
“Words can't express how WONDERFUL Kimberly is and how HAPPY we are with her services! She treated our doggie, Prince. like one of her own fur babies. Prince is typically very anxious around new people and other dogs - not so with Kimberly, her family or doggies. Even at the first 'meet-n-greet' she won Prince over with her kindness, as did her doggies. When we dropped Prince off I wasn't worried because I knew he was in great hands. She texted us several times a day and included pictures of him. I recommend Kimberly 100% and more. We will definitely be using her services in the future. Thank you Kimberly for making our vacation so wonderful and relaxing knowing our poochie was well-taken care of :>)”
“Mya was a dream! She took care of our little guy as if he were her own. Very communicative, sent lots of photos, and really focused on Oso, his walks and playtime all weekend long. We'll definitely be leaving Oso with her again in the future. :)”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Shannon was fantastic! Very last-minute, I dumped Carly? at her house where she had 4 other dogs and a housekeeper on the way! Nothing fazed her! We had met for a Meet&Greet once before so she knew that my girl got along with her two,?Rocky & Cash?, but she was dog-sitting two others and just took one more large dog in stride! I stayed a bit to make sure all was well and then comfortably went off to the ⚾️ Game. Came back late and her house was quiet as a mouse. All in order and dogs tired and very happy! Thank you so much, Shannon! You get 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️s from our family!?❤️”
“Elizabeth hosted our doggy over a weekend while we went out of town. Booking with her was super easy as she was super responsive! She took great care of Lynx and we look forward to working with Elizabeth again.”

“Lori did amazing with my dog Theo! She has great energy and Theo, who can be shy with strangers, immediately felt comfortable around her. Lori is friendly and communicative and has a dog-friendly house with yard that Theo loved. It’s great to know I can leave Theo with her and he’ll get walks and cuddles and be taken care of”
“HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Naru was an incredible dog sitter. She went above and beyond our expectations! It was raining while she was dog sitting, so she even offered to take my Pomeranian, Toby, to the dog groomer for a bath (completely optional). I could tell that she really took care of Toby while I was away based on the regular updates and pictures she sent to me throughout his stay. I will definitely be rebooking with her in the future. Thank you, Naru!”
About: As a certified Holistic Health Practitioner I look at animal care from all aspects. I make sure they get good nutrition, exercise and interaction with other dogs. I am okay with senior dogs' needs, like diapers or special soft food or medication or even hand feeding. There are no cancer causing pesticides being used around our home and only bio-degradable non-toxic cleaners. For me dogs are supporting and protecting us on our journeys physically, emotionally, energetically and spiritually. I also offer canine massage. My husband and I are working from home and our daughter (19) is currently taking online classes. All of us love animals very much and enjoy being around them... We have a fully fenced yard (6 ft) and 2 little dogs ( one senior and one puppy) to keep your dog company. We have balls and toys to play with and your dog is welcome to share the dog beds and our couch with everybody. Our porch door is open all day which makes potty training easy and gives your dog plenty of outdoor time. We usually take everybody for a nice sunset walk and can add a nice beach walk to the day. We do not use any pesticides or harsh chemicals and there are no toxic/ poisonous plants in our yard/home.
“We've had our dog stay with Kris and Dan multiple times. We love having Luna stay with them. Kris has always kept us up to date every time and sends pics and videos. They are wonderful and care for our pupper as their own!”
“We had to go out of town for a wedding and our dog Woody stayed with Michael for a few nights. Michael was extremely responsive and sent photos of Woody throughout the weekend! We will definitely use him again!”
“Cherie and her family were a great fit for our dog. Their home was clean and they cared for our dog like she was their own. We loved getting photos and updates too! I would definitely ask Cherie to watch our dog again and would highly recommend her.”
“Contacted Linda to watch Hazel for 10 days while we were out of the country. I had complete peace of mind knowing that my dog was going to be in good hands after meeting Linda and her dog (Sammie). Was given updates while I was gone and was extremely satisfied and would recccomend her services to friends and family looking to board their dog.”
“Jennifer was awesome! This was Bruno’s first time away. Bruno did well and enjoyed his playtime with the other dogs. Jennifer sent us pictures of Bruno during his stay and he looked like he was having fun! (And being spoiled)”
Cardiff dog parents share their Rover experiences
Kristina and Sean were great with our energetic pup, Barley! Barley was able to fit right into their daily walks and runs since they were already an active family. They also provided daily updates and pictures of their activities and were very responsive throughout the boarding.
Jane was so kind and incredible with our 10 month year old pup. She was very accommodating with accepting our last-minute booking same day. We are so appreciative of her time and availability, as well as her responsiveness and updates during Olive’s stay. She has such an amazing way with pets, and if you’re looking for someone to watch your fur baby- look no further!!
Olivia and Noah are absolutely amazing dog sitters! They were incredibly responsive and went above and beyond to ensure that our dog, Maple, felt loved and well cared for while my husband and I were away for four days. We had complete peace of mind knowing she was in such great hands. I highly recommend this wonderful couple for your next dog-sitting needs!
Jinny took amazing care of Cacao for two weeks. She shared updates and photos every day, which was so reassuring, and it’s very clear how much she genuinely loves dogs. Cacao had a great time with her. Jinny was communicative, accommodating, and thoughtful throughout. I’d highly recommend her and her family to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.
Annika was wonderful! She sent multiple check-ins with photo updates from their park and beach adventures and treated Lottie like one of her own - especially appreciated during the holidays. Lottie came home happy, loved, and completely exhausted. We will definitely use Annika again and highly recommend her!
Bethany cared for our dog Beamer over the holidays and took such amazing care of him. He’s basically on his own vacation and living so comfortably at her home. She has a very sweet golden that shares kisses and wrestles with Beamer - HE LOVES IT! I highly recommend Bethany to anyone looking for a loving sitter!!!!
Lan and her family are absolutely wonderful. I loved the picture and video updates I got while they watched my little dog, Mosley. It’s clear that Lan loves animals, my mosey even came home with a fresh bath looking like he went to the groomers. They even noticed that Mosley wasn’t drinking enough water so they mixed water into his food to help hydrate him while he was with them. I’ll absolutely be booking again and highly recommend.
