“Zannah & Doug are amazing host. They made our coco feel right at home from the beginning. You could tell they truly love dogs and want nothing but the best for our pup. Zannah was sending pictures and updates throughout the day, which I really appreciated. Especially after having to chase other boarders for picture and updates, I didn't even have to ask. We will definitely be booking them again, which we already have!”
“Kat took excellent care of my sweet 8mo puppy. She was engaging, generous, and patient with him. She was also very flexible and communicative with me. I'm very grateful and would love to book with her again in the future!”
“Just picked up my pup from Robin & Rahn. They sent daily pics and videos and it was obvious that Freddie loved his stay with them. I felt so comfortable leaving him with them and will use their services again, if I need too.”
“Diego had a great time staying with Tyler and Ina! He got lots of exercise and play time. I got multiple daily updates and pictures and felt super comfortable knowing Diego was well taken care of while I was away. He can’t wait to visit again!”
“Lisa is incredible! Not only is she super kind and helpful for drop off and picks ups but my pup is OBSESSED!! Lisa is so great about taking mango on tons of walks and socializing her with other dogs. Lisa is also great about keeping me informed with daily messages and pictures. I feel like I save her pictures as my background more often than my own! All in all, mango and I will always go to Lisa :)”
“Jessica took such great care of my dog. He got along well with the other pets in the home and I got daily updates while I was away. I highly recommend and will be having Jessica sit my dog again in the future!”
“I had to go out of town for a last minute work trip and they did an amazing job taking care of my Stacy girl! Communicative, daily updates, pics and videos. My pup had an amazing time and immediately felt comfortable. Highly recommend! Thank you!!!”
“Araceli did an amazing job with our dog Punky! She was incredibly responsive and accommodating of our dog's needs. Her home is also incredibly dog friendly--would definitely recommend to others looking for a pet sitter.”
“Yantian took such great care of my senior pup, Mabel! They took lots of walks together and trips to the dog park. Mabel and Yantian’s dog got along really well too and I’m glad Mabel had a dog buddy or pal around with while I was out of town. Highly recommend boarding your pup with Yantian!”
“Alex was great! He was very welcoming of our pup right away and asked a lot of questions to make sure Doc got the best possible care. He was also very communicative and responsive, which gave us a lot of peace of mind.”
“This was our first time having Alyssa take care of Louie and she was great! We set up an initial meet and greet and she asked a lot of thoughtful questions, which made me feel confident Louie would be in good hands. I got lots of pictures and detailed updates each day like I asked. I also appreciated her flexibility when I had to pick up Louie an hour later. I would definitely recommend!”
“Skadi loves Alexandria and her dogs! Her trust isn’t easily earned and it is awesome to see how comfortable she has been in the environment Alexandria has! Love knowing Skadi is getting the same amount of care and attention she gets at home and she will be happy to go back again”
“I am so unbelievably grateful for Sydney! This was our first boarding with Sydney and she was incredibly attentive to our senior pup's comfort. Sydney asked really thoughtful questions during our meet and greet and sent consistent updates while I was traveling out of state. Sydney also didn't hesitate to inform me of an unexpected and urgent medical issue that arose concerning Lola's heart. Sydney went above and beyond in transporting Lola to the vet and describing her symptoms. Lola is home and comfortable now, and I can't thank Sydney enough for being so attentive and understanding. We owe her a debt of gratitude.”
“I love Amalia and her entire family. Im so grateful for the care they give my Ocean boy. Amalia is so communicative and just the sweetest. Thank you so so so much!! 💕💕💕”
“Holly is exceptional! Very kind and easy to work with. She took very good care of my doggy Skye while I was frantically moving and flying between states. She sent me photos of how Skye was doing and kept me updated. I’ve already booked Holly again! She’s my go to girl to watch my doggy Skye.”
“Joe and Carol have been watching my dog Winnie for about 4-5 years. She always gets excited to run up to their door, so I know she loves to stay with them! They send lots of pictures so I feel comfortable knowing Winnie is happy and safe.”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life from large to small, young and old. Whatever they may need I am happy to take care of Availability For Dog Boarding and Daycare I will be Available Week Days after Four PM I will be Available Weekends Pending I am in town I live in an upper duplex of a house in a quiet neighborhood with a good sized yard to run around and play in and plenty of shade to relax outside. I like to go to the dog park often and socialize with other dogs or go hiking up on the bluffs. If your dog likes to cozy up at home they are welcome to lay on the couch with me and watch a movie.
“If I could give Saeko more stars, I would! 10/10 would recommend! She is so loving and caring and will take care of your fur babies like her own. We just moved to the area and only had our puppy for a few months and we had to find someone to watch him so we could attend a wedding. Saeko updated us every single day with a very in-depth and thorough schedule about their day. She sent multiple photos and videos about their day every single day and put my mind at ease. We knew Bean was in good hands. If we ever need a dog sitter again, I would book her in a heartbeat. Thank you, Saeko for taking care of our Beanie boy!”
Columbia dog parents share their Rover experiences
Araceli was fantastic watching Roxy and Sushi! She kept me updated with plenty of photos and videos, so I always knew how they were doing. Both pups clearly had the best time and came home happy and relaxed. I’ll definitely be booking with her again — highly recommend!
Mara (and Indie) were fantastic and made me feel right at ease. From a very chill meet & greet to the multiple updates a day, I really appreciated her communication and kindness, especially for it being so last minute. Our pups got along so well too. I will recommend her to any of my dog mom friends and be using her in the future!
Zoey had a great stay with Valerie. She got to explore all the smells of LIttle Italy and met a bunch of fire fighters. Valerie kept Zoey on schedule with meals and walks and afternoon zoomies -- and sent me a few clusters of photos per day. Treat bag came back almost empty so I know Zoey was spoiled during her stay. Valerie was able to accommodate my late evening return which is much appreciated.
This was our second time boarding our dog with Annie. She took great care of him and kept us updated at all times. Draxx always has a blast with Annie and I know he is in good hands! Thank you so much Annie!! We will definitely be using her services again for our next vacation.
Leah took such great care of our pup, Bourbon! She sent lots of photos and communicated with us frequently throughout his stay, making us feel super comfortable while out of town! He has a lot of puppy energy, but Leah was extra patient with him and gave him the level of activity & attention that he needed. Would absolutely recommend her to others and would love to have Bourbon stay with her again in the future!
Sidney is the kindest soul . She was very well at communicating and sending pics all day until pick up day! I think she deserves to be booked in San Diego every day. If I’m back I will literally only want her to sit ! You are a blessing to our little family and Zeppelin is forever blessed to have you r you as his first baby sitter on Rover❤️
Wendy runs a tight ship, and I mean that. Her setup is so clean, you could eat off the artificial grass, though I wouldn’t recommend it unless you’re a dog. I felt completely at ease leaving my furry family member in her care, knowing she’d be safer than a squirrel in a tree. My dog ignored me upon arrival, running directly into Wendy’s home… and then Maisie returned to me even better at playing fetch; now she drops the ball at my feet and demands I notice! She’s worth the higher rate.
Zannah & Doug are the best. It’s evident that they love dogs and treated my girl like their own. I felt so comfortable leaving my dog with them instantly. Khloe was well taken care of and loved. I’m grateful to have found them and will continue to bring Khloe to them!
Haley and Logan were wonderful with our dog, Winslow, during our two-week trip! They communicated with us often and sent photos that kept us at ease. They really took the time to get to know Winslow and respected all of our routines and preferences. Our pup takes daily steroids, and they handled her medication with no problem at all. She clearly felt right at home—cuddling up with them each morning. Knowing she was in their care let us fully enjoy our time away. Would absolutely recommend!
Andrew was phenomenal! Easy to communicate with, flexible with scheduling, and sent the cutest pictures of my little Sophie enjoying her life. I could trust that my little one was in good hands during my time away. Sophie was able to get her exercise and sniffs in on their walks in Balboa Park (her favorite). I could also tell that she got plenty of cuddles with how unenthusiastic she was to see me when I returned :) I will definitely be booking again!
