“Danielle and Austin took Rocco in last minute and saved my day. He had the best time: they took him on a walk, played fetch, and spoiled him as if he were their own. If it wasnt because of them, i wouldnt have been able to succesfully complete a project i had due that day. Cheers to the McKeevers!”
“Can't recommend Nancy enough! We needed to book her last minute for our dog Tommy and she was super accommodating, knew exactly how to integrate him with other dogs, and was super communicative. So glad we found her.”

About: Growing up, my mother absolutely could not live without owning a dog. We've had three in my lifetime, from Boxers to Doodles. I've always found comfort, security, and friendship in my furry family. When I was lonely, I would curl up on the floor with my dog. If I was feeling unmotivated, I'd hit the trails with my dog for hours. Having a dog taught me responsibility and ownership. It taught me what caring for a living being should mean. When I went off to college, the one thing I missed most was having a pup around. I want to care for your dogs as if they're my own! If your dog is active, I will make sure to cater to their needs and run with them until they're tired. If they need simple love and attention, I will make sure to give them as much as they need. I currently work remotely and will be able to take care of your pets and houses around the clock! I am able to take as many breaks as needed throughout the day to ensure your pets are well taken care of. I will make sure to take care of your pets in the exact way you've intended, whether they need runs, beach-time, or just to hang out at home!

“Doug is great with Bruce! We did a short meet and greet before our first full day and Doug was very responsive and communicative about Bruce. Bruce has separation anxiety, so Doug was very attentive to that and Bruce seemed totally happy and comfortable with him. Sounds like they had some nice walks and Bruce loves the cozy bed in the living room so he can nap while still being near Doug lol We have already booked additional days with Doug. Definitely recommend!”

About: I have had a dog in my life from the age of 7. Currently I have two dogs who are gentle and used to other dogs. The neighborhood is gated and quiet for daily dog walks. The outside enclosure is small but completely safe. Laminate floors make it an easy clean up if there are any mishaps. I am a retired nurse who creates art at home. Therefore I can attend to your pet with ease. As mentioned above, our patio and outside area is small but safe with six foot fencing . Our dogs have easy access with a medium size screen pet door. If you pet is larger I will be home to let him/her out on a regular basis. Pet care suits my lifestyle as I am a homebody who loves to just hang with my pups while creating art. Living the retired life! My small but fenced secure patio with dog run makes for a safe environment. A walk about or two a day keeps them happy as well!
“We planned a trip to Legoland and were looking for a sitter nearby to watch our dog, Parker, for the day. We were so glad to have found Rachel. She was quick to respond, shared many pics of Parker, had a good size yard for my dog to run around and play with other dogs, and only a few miles away from Legoland. It was a great experience for my dog and would gladly book with her again in the near future.”
“Devin is absolutely amazing. She understands the mindset of a puppy and patiently took the time to learn my commands, and used them to continue Gabby's training during her stay. I was really impressed that Gabby walked by my side when she came home the first night. WOW! I will definitely working with Devin in the future. She is a true professional. Thank you :)”

Carlsbad dog parents share their Rover experiences
My regular sitter was sick and couldn't watch my dog. Trying to find a sitter last minute is stressful, but I hopped on Rover and got a confirmation right away from Austin! Everything went smoothly and Jojo was happy to have a friend in their sweet little dog, Hank. Would definitely use them again.
Carie took really great care of Wee. She has a fenced yard with grass which is really lovely. I like that she has her own little pup and also does doggy day care so Wee can socialize a little more. Carie was really flexible with my pick up schedule (my flight was incredibly delayed) and she made my life easier by being so amenable. Carie is a great sitter and I will certainly be back!
We’re so happy to have found Colby! We are from out of town and we’re looking for reliable care for our puppy and after coming up short with local boarding options, we found Colby. There is always concern when you leave your pet with a stranger but immediately upon meeting Colby, we were confident in our choice. He is friendly, communicative and has a great place for hosting your dog. As excited as our puppy was to see us when picking up, we could tell our puppy didn’t want to leave. Look no further than Colby, he’s a reliable choice that provides awesome care. Thank you, Colby!
Haley and her family were so welcoming to Scout. They were able to accommodate my last-minute request. Upon our first meeting, they asked about any dietary restrictions, kindly introduced themselves to my pup, and gave him a great daycare visit. He was taken on plenty of walks and got to socialize with a kind baby. Would recommend and look forward to rebooking.
