Araceli is great and her house is perfect for my smedium sized dog! I know that Scout felt at home and enjoyed running around her yard when she wasn’t lazing around. That allowed me to enjoy my trip knowing she was in good hands thank you Araceli for taking such good care of Scout! 🐾

Coco loves Ana and her husband! They really treat her like they would their own pup. They are super accommodating to her needs as an anxious dog with separation anxiety, and I know she loves the extra affection and attention that they give her while she stays with them. This is Coco’s second time staying with them, and we would book again with Ana!

My son is new to the area and needed to be gone overnight. We don't[ know anyone in the city so we opted to find someone on Rover to help. Phillip did an awesome job with my son's dog. He was extremely accommodating and sent pics and updates throughout the day. Cato went on plenty of walks and got lots of fresh air. I will definitely use Phillip again, he is an amazing dog sitter and Cato was well taken care of.

She was super quick to respond and she took great care of our baby while we were gone. Loved getting photos throughout her stay. Would definitely come back to her and highly recommend!

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 :)

Madelyn is so good that my dog was barely excited to see me when picking him up after being gone for 5 nights. They bonded quickly and she was extremely attentive to his fragility post neuter surgery. Couldn’t have asked for a better caretaker. Will be booking again!

Alisiene was a great find and I would give her 10 stars if I could! From our initial communication to the meet and greet to the actual stay and final pick up, she was friendly, professional, communicative and extremely kind. Bob staid with her for a week and A’s daily updates kept us connected to him. He warmed up to her and her dogs almost immediately and I was thrilled he was part of their pack. Highly recommend.

About: I have a Mini Australian Shepard of my own who is 3 years old, whom I trained myself. He is very well behaved. Additionally, I’ve been a dog and cat sitter for friends and family over the past 5 years. My service will include lots of walks, love, and play time with your pet. I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available all day on weekends and on weekdays after 6 p.m. Although I live in an apartment, I do have access to 2 fenced dog parks across the street and I live close to Balboa park which makes for great walks!

Chau is so great with our puppies. She tolerates our bratty puppy and is so gentle with our old man. She was so easy going to learn that our old dog had hurt his leg right before us having to leave town and didn’t hesitate to still watch them, even if it meant extra work and medication. We are so grateful for her!

Caymin was absolutely fantastic and so professional! He made sure he knew everything about my dog Bella, from her routines to her little quirks and behaviors. He even sent me a packing list ahead of time, which was such a thoughtful touch. Throughout Bella’s stay, he kept me updated with tons of photos, which made my heart so happy and helped me relax knowing she was in great hands. I’ll definitely be booking with him again!!

Melissa was amazing with my large dog! It was a hot weekend and she took extra care to make sure he was comfortable and cool the whole time. She was even willing to meet with me before hand to understand his routine and make sure it was a fit. I highly recommend her with your pups, she is attentive and provides regular check in updates! Felt reassured my big guy had someone trustworthy caring for him, thank you Melissa!!

Kaleigh did an amazing job taking care of my dog Mojo! She is incredibly honest, trustworthy, and caring. One of the things I appreciated most was how consistently she kept me updated, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I always felt confident knowing Mojo was safe, comfortable, and being well taken care of. Kaleigh clearly has a genuine love for dogs, and it shows in the way she cares for them. It’s not easy leaving your dog with someone else, but with Kaleigh, I never had to worry. Thank you Kaleigh!

Erin was an amazing dog sitter for Ouzo! She took the time to learn what he likes and made sure he was comfortable and happy throughout the week. We loved getting plenty of photos and updates, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Ouzo clearly had a wonderful time with Erin and was a very happy dog when we picked him up. We would definitely recommend Erin!

Shane and Chris were absolutely amazing! I had to book them last minute after another sitter canceled, and I’m so grateful I found them. From the start, they were kind, communicative, and incredibly attentive. You can tell they take their responsibility seriously and genuinely care about the dogs in their care. I felt completely comfortable knowing my dog was in such good hands. They treated my dog like their own and went above and beyond to make sure she was taken care of. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, especially with such a last-minute booking. I will absolutely be booking with Shane and Chris again and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring, and dependable dog sitters!

Andrew was a great sitter for Spud. Spud is usually timid around new people, but he seemed to be very relaxed staying with Andrew for two nights. Andrew was great at communicating before and during the stay and he would send updates each day. I’m so happy to have found someone I feel comfortable leaving Spud with!

Mariah and Logan were very accommodating to our pets’ needs! We have a senior three-legged dog, and they were kind enough to carry her up and down the stairs until she gained the confidence to do it on her own. At the time of boarding, her stomach issues flared up, but Mariah and Logan took really good care of her and paid attention to her needs. Meanwhile, our cat eats everything he can, but Mariah and Logan were very meticulous in putting away any food or dishes so he couldn’t get a single scrap. They sent us lots of photos and updates, and it truly felt like they were treating our pets like their own!
