“She was absolutely amazing! I booked the wrong weekend and she accommodated us last minute. She saved our trip. And she sent update pictures while we were out of state. I highly recommend Jackie. 10/10 Otis was so comfortable with her as well.”
“Definitely a 5-star experience. Corinne was super responsive and answered all my questions that made me feel comfortable to book. I can definitely say this meet was meant to be. This was my first time leaving my pup, Chanel, with someone new - let alone a new place for several days. (She is super friendly, but since always with me, will cry if she sees me leave her.) As soon as we walked up to their home, Chanel was super curious and happy to go inside, greeting them both with such excitement. They both made me feel at ease. Their beautiful home was perfect for her - with a big bed, toys, and a nice and spacious back yard. I loved the several updates and pictures that were sent to me; it brought so much smiles to see Chanel being such a good girl, and being cared for like they did. I also loved the little report card they gave me at the end. I highly recommend Corinne and Louis, and will definitely book with them again if the opportunity allows. Thank you both so much!”
“What can I say about the best sitter we’ve ever had for our babies. Laura is an absolute gem. She watched our three dogs while we were away for the holiday. From our first visit with her we felt comfortable and at ease knowing our fur babies would be in good hands. Communication was excellent. Laura takes her sitting very seriously and every day sent us updates and photos. Thank you Laura and her husband for giving us a great holiday away knowing our fur babies were taking care of.”
About: I’ve had my Beagle, Kane, ever since he was about 4 months old when we took him home from the shelter. I currently volunteer at the Long Beach spcaLA animal shelter at El Dorado Park. I foster adult dogs and puppies for them as well. I love dogs and want them to live their best life, because that’s when their goofy personalities shine through. Walking, cuddling, and watching dogs play gives me that natural dopamine rush! Kane and I can’t wait to meet your 4 legged fury family member. I work from home full time so your pet would have free access to our backyard and would hardly be left alone. My partner works 24-72 hour shifts, so he’s gone a lot, but can help out while i’m in meetings if he’s home. My dog, Kane, free roams throughout the house and enjoys a sun bathe every hour. If your pup needs to be crated, that’s not a problem either. I have plenty space for a crate. Kane would enjoy the company.
“Karina is the Best in Town! Beautiful fenced backyard, plenty of pals coming through so there's always multiple play/cuddle companions. Maysie will definitely be back!”
“It's hard to know where to begin. Tyler and Patricia are so amazing! They took such GREAT care of our 9 year old Emma - they were so attentive, kind, and conscientious with her. Emma was immediately comfortable with both Tyler and Patricia. They are dog people to the max! They are great communicators - they gave us great updates and photos daily. They will customize the amount of updates you'd like to receive and they were definitely on point for us. When I picked Emma up today, she was happy to see me, but she was like, 'ahhh, good to see you, but I wouldn't mind staying a while longer!" She was more comfortable staying with Tyler and Patricia than she's ever been staying with anyone else before. They made her feel a part of their family! We are so GRATEFUL we found Tyler and Patricia and I know Emma is as well. It's so comforting to find people like these two to take care of a member of the family who means so much to you.”
“Our dog was in great hands with Jeimy. She was really attentive to our instructions and took the time to chat with us before our boarding stay to ensure that we were comfortable and that she understood the quirks of caring for our senior dog. She sent us lots of photos everyday so we were able to see that our pup was being well cared for. We would definitely rebook with Jeimy again!”
“Our dog stayed with Leslie for a week. We were super happy with everything! She sent regular updates and pictures. It’s hard to be away from him but we’d be absolutely comfortable having him stay with Leslie again. Thank you!!”
“Marilyn and family did an outstanding job with Chowder. I know she worked overtime because Chowder is a puppy with lLOTS of energy and is still in training. He came home happy and she even taught him a new trick. I’m really thankful for the incredible care they took of my puppy and for the daily updates she provided. It really put me at ease. Thank you so much!!!”
“If your dogs are your children like mine are, you definitely want someone like Alexandra to watch over them. I was able to leave Leo in her care for almost 3 weeks and I never once worried that he wasn’t getting the best love and care possible. In other words, I was able to enjoy my vacation! Alexandra is great!”
“We've been searching for a reliable pet sitter near Cypress, CA, and were fortunate to find someone like Sue! She was incredibly responsive and generous in many ways. Sue consistently sent us photos and videos of our dog while we were out of town, which was very reassuring. She even took our pup to the dog park, and it seems our dog was happier than ever! We highly recommend Sue if you care about your dog's well-being.”
“Marlo is an amazing sitter! We have complete peace of mind when we leave our girl with her. She provides great updates, and (most importantly) genuinely cares about every dog she sits. We look forward to seeing her again!”
“Emily was AMAZING she kept in contact with me with daily check-ins and photos. She followed my instructions perfectly and didn’t hesitate to ask questions on things she was unsure about to provide the best care for Louie. I will definitely be booking with her again she’s the best!”
“Jo is amazing. She took care of my dog like he was her own pet. She has 2 other fur babies but they get along well with Noodles, maybe because they are the same breed so that helps. Noodles need very minimum care but Jo went above and beyond to give him all the attention that he deserved. She got him chewing tooth brush, vitamins, and toppers without us asking. She is extremely good with updates and photos. Even though we traveled oversee but we get a few updates with photos with a short message, this help us knowing he's in good care. She makes sure he get his long walk and exercise with her. She has a good size back yard for him to roam around as well. I will 1000% using her as our forever dog sitter for sure. I'm very thankful for her thoughtfulness and warmth toward Noodles and our family.”
About: Hi, I’m Fancy! I love making new friends and playing all day. My human Judy has years of experience caring for big dogs and even raised and trained, Dolly the Dogo Argentino (RIP), Now it’s my turn to share the fun, come join me for playdates, cuddles, and poolside adventures! If you have the right temperament, you can even meet the cats (twin boys, Pancho and Lefty) and our backyard chickens! I work from home as a healthcare consultant and would welcome your dogs to my little urban farm located in LBC. I am home most days really just going out for errands, animals are the main focus of my day, I have 2 indoor cats, a 7 month old golden retriever and 4 backyard chickens. I even have a feral cat that I feed, she is best friends with the chickens but wont let me touch her, yet! I have a fenced yard, that was built to contained my beloved Dogo Argentino, my home is very safe with doors that separate the house in sections, This is helpful when needing to separate the animals, or to create barriers for escape artists. I have crates if needed. Most dogs just sleep in the bed with me, Fancy will pout for the first night and then she will cuddle up!
“Our corgi had so much fun on vacation! We got regular pictures and updates throughout our trip. She had lots of fun on her walks and playing with her new friend. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our dog!”
“Thank you Angie!! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a new sitter. Angie really cares for other dogs as if they were her own, dolce had the best time staying with you 🤍🐾”
“Great communication, our Bowie had so much fun staying with Jason ( 5 Days ) . He took a nap as soon as we got home ( so tired ). We truly appreciate the service he provides. Thank you Jason.”
“This was the first time we were leaving our 1 1/2 year old Kobe with anyone else. The reservation process was very easy and Donna was great. She was very friendly, open and was nice enough to send us a couple pictures during his stay.”
City College Area dog parents share their Rover experiences
All three of our family dogs stayed this time with Angie and her family-they’re a lot, and she handled them like a pro. We even requested to extend by a night last minute and she totally came through. We quite literally wouldn’t trust anyone else with our dogs for a week stay and are so grateful. They always come back happy and are excited every time we return to Angie for what they see as a doggie vacation.
Wow Karina is simply the best. She goes above and beyond to make sure our fur babies are comfortable and feel at home. She is very professional and took the time to send us the most amazing holiday photo! Thank you Karina for everything and for being one of the best Rover sitters we have ever had!
Jamie was absolutely incredible with Harley. We were away for over two weeks, and I never once felt anxious or uncertain about her care. Jamie treated Harley like she was part of her own family, multiple walks a day, tons of love, cuddles, playtime, and thoughtful attention to her routines and quirks. We received consistent updates with photos and videos that clearly showed how happy, relaxed, and comfortable Harley was the entire time. Jamie was proactive, communicative, and genuinely invested in Harley’s wellbeing, from keeping her dry in the rain, to being mindful about treats, to making sure she felt safe and settled in the home. It was obvious how much Jamie (and her family) adored Harley, and that kind of care is priceless. Harley came home calm, happy, and clearly well-loved. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will 100% be booking with Jamie again. Highly, highly recommend
Tyler and Patricia were so amazing with Bodie! I couldn’t have asked for a better pair to leave him with for the holidays. They were great at sending pictures and daily updates and I could just tell he was being loved on as if he was part of the family. They even sent him home with a Christmas toy along with the sweetest little Polaroid of him, neither of which were necessary at all but just goes to show that they really go above and beyond. I couldn’t recommend them enough!
Matthew provided great last-minute holiday care for our anxious recent rescue, Oscar! We were nervous about leaving him for the first time since we knew he would have some separation anxiety, but Matthew had a great calm vibe and gave us plenty of updates. I could tell from the photos and videos that Oscar got more and more comfortable and enjoyed his stay :)
Michelle was awesome! She sent me lots of photos and videos of her playing with her two dogs and just chilling in the house. Michelle was very flexible with me and my work schedule. She even gave Remy a bath before coming home. Remy came home tired and happy. I plan to use Michelle again!
We had an amazing experience with Corinne and Louis! This was our first time booking with them and we couldn’t be happier. Riley, our Golden Retriever, was well cared for and clearly comfortable. The sitters were incredibly sweet, kept us updated with lots of photos, and even sent home an adorable report card. We’ll definitely be booking them again next time we’re out of town. Highly recommend!
We were so lucky to find leonor & Davis, they were absolutely wonderful with our babies! They sent frequent text updates and so many adorable pictures & videos every day, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Our pups looked so happy and tired in all the photos, proof that they had a great time playing. We came home to happy dogs. You can tell they genuinely love animals from how our dogs interacted with them in the photos. Also, their dog Yuki was a great dog host and playmate to our dogs. Thank you for everything!"
Definitely the best sitters ever! Thank you for being so kind and awesome. My 8 year Frenchie who has had IVDD spinal surgery was in excellent hands. Their home and neighborhood is so beautiful. My pup has unlimited sun bathing in their beautiful gated yard. You can tell they are just so loving and care about animals so much. I received tons of pics while I was away. Thanks again for everything! Will definitely be back
Kaithlyn is amazing! This was my first time using Rover and she was wonderful in answering all my questions! She provided so many updates of my dog Boogie while he was staying with her which was very reassuring! Kaithlyn was very responsive, sweet, and Boogie really likes her - would definitely recommend her to anyone!
