Zwany and Leandro are a first class team, focused on safety and communication. Our Havanese, Celia, enjoyed her visit so much she wanted to extend her stay to spend more time with her new friends. I highly recommend their services - they made us both feel very welcome and cared for.

Elliot did a great job and we will definitely book with him again! It was our first time having someone other than family watch our dog and we immediately felt very comfortable with Elliot. He was very organized and professional, making sure he understood our dog's needs. He also communicated quickly and sent frequent updates. A great experience and highly recommend him!

This was my first time using Rover and Liz went above and beyond as Simon’s dog sitter. I received many pictures and updates every single day and there was no time lapse in her responses if I ever messaged her first. I’m not even sure Simon even missed me because of how well he was taken care of and loved on. Will most definitely be booking with Liz again and have raved about her to my friends with pets. Thank you again!!

Super responsive and communicative! It was my first time boarding Koi with a Rover sitter and Linda was very reassuring and bonded very quickly with Koi. I'd board Koi with her again! The only downside is that Koi came home smelling a little bit of cigarette smoke, but Koi did stay with Linda for a whole week and I know Linda only smokes outdoors.

Haowen and his girlfriend were wonderful Rovers! I found Haowen after my previously-booked Rover cancelled last minute. Because of the last minute booking, I was very nervous, but Haowen was very attentive and asked a lot of questions up front to understand my dog’s needs and how best to accommodate her. During her stay, I received multiple pictures per day showing her having a wonderful time with Haowen.

Hunter had a great overnight stay with John. John took him on several walks and made sure he was fed and comfortable. Our dog sometimes gets anxious and John knew how to calm him. John gave us regular updates and photos. We appreciated the reporting for Hunter's very first overnight with him. TY John!

Can’t begin to explain how amazing Liz and the rest of her family were with my two boys ❤️. I knew as soon as we met the boys were going to love her. Liz is very cheerful, loving and attentive. She did an amazing job at keeping me up to date and most importantly making sure my boys felt at home and safe. I received daily pictures which included dj and beans taking car rides, walks, sleeping and just hanging with the family. If you love your furry companions as much as I do, book with Liz, you won’t be disappointed ❤️

About: I’m a lifelong dog owner with hands-on experience caring for a wide range of breeds, from energetic puppies to quirky seniors. I work from home, so I’m able to offer tons of attention, exercise, and consistency throughout the day. Having lived with everything from labs to Pyrenees mixes, I understand the importance of meeting each dog’s unique needs, whether that’s structured walks, gentle senior care, or patient socialization for shy pups. I’m comfortable with big dogs and independent personalities, and my own experience training puppies and supporting older dogs means your pup is in caring, knowledgeable hands.What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for a variety of breeds—including puppies and seniors—and my work-from-home flexibility means dogs get real companionship and attention all day. I understand big, independent, and quirky personalities, and I prioritize individualized care, from puppy training to gentle support for older dogs. I take the time to get to know every dog, building trust through patience, routine, and play. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life, not an afterthought. Since I work from home, I’m able to integrate walks, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day—whether it’s a morning stroll, afternoon games in the park, or relaxed evenings together. My routine is flexible, so dogs always get outside for fresh air and exercise and receive plenty of attention between my work sessions. On weekends, I love exploring new neighborhoods, local parks, or heading to the beach—always bringing dogs along for new adventures. Whether it’s active pups needing stimulation or seniors who prefer a calm presence, I adapt my days to make sure every dog feels comfortable, safe, and part of my everyday world. When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and integrated into my daily routine—regular walks to nearby parks or the beach, supervised playtime, and cozy rest spots throughout my home. I keep to each dog’s familiar schedule as much as possible, including feeding times, exercise, and any training or medication routines. In a client’s home, I respect their space and routines, making sure pets feel secure in their own environment. I follow all instructions closely, from special diet needs to unique quirks or favorite toys, and keep in touch with updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and cared for. Most importantly, I treat every dog like they’re my own—with patience, structure, and genuine affection—whether they’re here for a day, a weekend, or longer.

Svetlana was absolutely amazing watching my dog for 4 days. He is a VERY high energy dog, and I am particular about who I leave him with and I’d recommend her to anyone. She was really wonderful at sending pictures/video updates and keeping in communication with me in a timely manner. Sammy was so tired when I picked him up and I can tell he enjoyed staying with her!

Nolan and Damien were excellent caregivers. Fitzgerald really seemed to have a great time. They communicated effectively throughout the whole process and even flexed so I can figure out a different drop off schedule last minute. They sent pictures and gave updates on how he was doing and Fitzgerald came home happy and healthy. We would absolutely recommend them to anybody looking for a great set of caregivers for their loved ones.

Arlene and Josiah took amazing care of my dog, Zoe! We had a meet and greet before Zoe’s stay and they made sure to ask important questions about Zoe and understand her quirks and habits. They even sent me some written questions about Zoe ahead of the stay. I really appreciated how thoughtful they were. They are clearly huge dog lovers and I felt very comfortable leaving Zoe with them. Also, great communication and lots of updates and photos, which is important to me! I will definitely be asking Arlene and Josiah to care for Zoe again!

Nick and Ellie were terrific. Our nervous dog bonded with Nick very quickly. Through no fault of theirs, the stay needed to end early and they were incredibly gracious about working with Rover to get us a refund, without us even asking. I am confident they will take care of any dog with love and compassion.
