1. Elaine K.
“Elaine was great with my dog! Photos, videos and updates were provided. She’s quick to respond and was very accommodating. Will definitely be booking again 😊”
2. Wendi C.
“Wendi is the best! She is attentive and compassionate. Charlie gravitated towards her right away. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her and will certainly book again in the future.”
3. Bennie & Jennie D.
“I'm happy to share my experience with Bennie and Jennie who took care of my baby Nori while I was away. Right from the start, their professionalism, warmth, and genuine love for animals shone through. They took note of her routines, preferences, and her diet which showed me that they provided care that felt personalized and attentive. They also kept me updated daily with pictures/videos of Nori's activities. Each update was sent with a short note, highlighting her mood, changes in appetite, and the ways she was interacting. Moreover, they won over her trust and it was clear that Nori formed a bond with them and their adorable kitten, Kevin! For any cat owner looking for peace of mind, I can't recommend Bennie and Jennie enough!”

About: I will take care of your fur baby as one of my own. We have a yard that is fenced in and dog friendly. Your dog will be top priority, and will be the only dog I care for at that time of sitting besides my Frenchy. I know how important and uneasy it is to leave your fur baby. Rest assured, that they will be cared for as if you were here. I am in and out all day long and dogs have access to backyard to sunbathe and potty breaks.. I’m in and out of the house during the day. The dogs won’t be left alone longer than 2.5 hours and will have access to the backyard to sun bathe and potty breaks at all times. Your fur baby will have a companion to enjoy each other’s company along with walks and park enjoyment. Your pet will have access to the back yard at all times to sunbathe and potty breaks. I make sure the dogs are comfortable and well loved.
5. Jeff P.
“First time Rover user and also first time Sweetness has been boarded…I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience we both had with Jeff and Kara! Letting Jeff know from the start this would be her first boarding experience and that she may be timid, he assured me he’d make her comfortable and feeling welcomed in their home and he absolutely did! Within an hour of dropping her off, I was delighted to receive the first of many pics and updates sent throughout her stay…she looked comfortable and happy which made me feel comfortable and happy ?. I absolutely will be boarding with them again, highly recommend! Thank you both! ❤️?”
6. Nathan & Paula D.
“Nathan, Paula, and their adorable daughters did an awesome job watching our sweet pup! They were very communicative, brought her on lots of adventures, and took great care of her on very short notice. Definitely recommend!!!”
7. Lydia M.
“Lydia is amazing! She was so careful with my Guapo and kept me informed during his entire stay through messages and photos. I am so happy with Lydia's care for my pup, I will definitely be rebooking in the future.”
8. Bianca F.
“My dog stayed at Bianca’s house for a week while my husband and I were traveling and I knew he was in great hands! ? We received cute pictures and videos from her which helped us know he’s well taken care of. Highly recommend!”
9. Chiaki S.
“I had a longer trip this time, but was able to leave my pup behind with full confidence knowing that Chiaki was looking after him. I picked up a happy dog. 😄”
10. Sandra M.
“Sandra is an amazing dog sitter and genuinely cares about their health and well being. Her communication and energy are what any dog owner would look for in a care taker. I have a senior dog that needed an elevated level of care and she was able to provide this as well as identify any potential risks and take appropriate action when needed. Would 100% book again and reccomend to a friend.”
11. erin b.
“We love working with Erin! She is super attentive to not just our pet's needs but also to ours! She is a clear communicator, extremely reliable and most of all oh so warm and loving. There is no better feeling then when you are going away or in a crunch and you just know that you can rely on her and even better - that your pet will be well loved and in the best hands. We have booked Erin for regularly scheduled walks and/or visits, vacations and even a last minute arrangement. We are so lucky to have found her! You won't be disappointed.”
12. Liv D.
“Liv was amazing! She even brought our puppy to the hotel we were staying at so he could be a part of our wedding photos! I love how she took care of our baby like her own.”
13. Erika H.
“Erika is a TRUE ANGEL! Not only did she keep our doodle happy and cared for, she went above and beyond to ensure she had everything she needs. She even made a trip to our vet to get her medicine while we were gone. We got daily updates and adorable photos and sunny was always so happy. I will be using Erika every time we leave town and cannot recommend her enough!!”
14. Sunny B.
“My fur babies were well taken care of at Sunny's place. She loves them as her own. They got walks every day to the beach and got to sleep in the bed with Sunny, just like at home. Sunny even bought Kinza a new name tag when hers got lost. I highly recommend Sunny and I will be using her services again. FIve stars and two thumbs up, er paws up.”
15. Maria P.
“Rudy was so lucky to stay with Maria for the night! Maria kindly agreed to sit my puppy at very short notice, responded clearly and gave me constant updates. He was bold enough to sleep on Maria's bed! He clearly felt at home :) Will definitely use Maria again the next time I need a sitter for Rudy”
16. Matthew F.
“Definitely highly recommend! I received my puppy happy, healthy, and best of all TIRED. He was socializing a lot with the cute frenchie that Matthew has which is a great big plus. I received so many updates while I was gone on my trip without having to ask. Tyson also was given a bath that left him smelling and looking like a brand new car. Trustworthy, responsible, and safe. Your dog is in the best hands with Matthew! We hope to see you again soon!”
17. Kelly M.
“This is the first time I used Rover for my dog and was a little nervous about what to expect, but I was so relieved because Kelly is the best and provided photos each day! She is super thoughtful and Gypsy had the best time with her.”
18. Meng S.
“Meng did a fabulous job looking after Lincoln. From the meet and greet, I could tell that she loved dogs and I was confident that she would take good care of Lincoln. Throughout the stay, she sent me multiple pics/videos and kept me informed of Lincoln's activities. I highly recommend her to look after your pup and wouldn't hesitate to leave Lincoln with her again.”
19. Alexa H.
“I recently left my babies with this Alexa and they absolutely adored her. She sent me videos of my lab and a husky (Jack and Marley) and they were so comfortable in her space, even with her cat that was also there. It was clear that Alexa paid attention to the little things and frequently communicated with me, which made me feel at peace when I was away from my sweet ones! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog or cat sitter.”
20. Audrey M.
“We’ve had Coco (mix breed rescue from the streets of Mexico) for 3 years now. She’s around 60 lbs and can be quite the challenge when walking her. We were introduced to Audrey by chance in a park and she politely gave us some tips on how to handle walking Coco. We’ve had dogs all our life but they’ve always been miniatures and so easy to handle. She gave us a tutorial on how to handle a dog Coc’s size. While conversing we mentioned we were having trouble getting out of work early enough to give Coco a long walk at some point in the day. Audrey mentioned she walks dogs and we met up a couple of times and our Coco just absolutely loves Audrey. Coco has become more manageable in the home after her daily walks and we all no longer struggle with walking Coco with the helpful hints we have been given on how to handle Coco. I would recommend Audrey as a dog walker for your pooch. 🐕”
