1. Cienya C.


“Cali can’t say (bark) enough for the great time she had this weekend with Cienya and her pups. She barely said goodbye to us when we dropped her off and sent pictures of her adventures all weekend! Cienya was so accommodating when we asked if we could drop her off a little earlier than scheduled and she made us feel at ease that Cali was in great hands. Her house is pet friendly and has a nice backyard to play in. Her pups are clearly used to having company and made friends with Cali from the start. As an added bonus, Cienya is home most of the day and takes the “pups” for a nice long walk in the morning. Thanks again from Cali and her parents. ?”


2. Lindsay M.
“Lindsay is absolutely wonderful. I had such peace of mind and comfort leaving my babes with her and she took great care of them. They were so comfortable with her and I will definitely be booking again.”


3. Maria & Robert W.

“Maria and Rob provided a warm welcome to our pug Opie for his first visit. They were so concerned with making him comfortable, happy and safe. They asked for every detail of his schedule and took extra time to make it as close to his own home as possible. Maria sent daily updates which we so appreciated. Their home and yard are beautiful, safe and very dog friendly. Their dog Bodie is so well trained and a wonderful playmate. We are so happy we found them, especially Opie who didn’t want to leave! We will be back!”


4. Pamela H.


“I can’t say enough about Pam. She was wonderful with our Jack Russell, Scout. He loved being with her. The love she had for animals is very important because we knew he would be well cared for!! Pam took time to have him outside in her yard so he could run around and play. Pam sent some pictures of him in the yard and he had a happy face. She is the only person that we will continue to use!! Pam is a part of our family. We are so thankful to have found her. We can leave him with her and never have to worry about him. Pam is an answer to prayer for my husband and myself!!!!!’”


5. Kelleen H.

“Kelleen watched my Maltese mix, Bebe, from May 6 until May 16. I've used her services before and was very happy with the results. This time was no different. She sent pictures of Bebe on her walk daily and updated me with other activities. She has children at home, and I know Bebe was happy there. We had a few changes in the itinerary, and Kelleen was very accommodating. I will definitely use Kelleen again. I highly recommend her!”


6. Anne T.

“My dogs have stayed with Anne 2 times. They love Anne and her dogs! Her yard is safe and great for dog exploring and they were comfortable inside. They snuggled right up to her. My dogs will certainly be back to stay with Anne the next time we go out of town.”


7. Eric & Allison R.
About: We are a dog family with very little boundaries. Couches, cars, and beds are all fair game. Moose is our 5 year old chocolate lab who spends the day playing, sleeping, and watching the neighborhood from the front porch. He often has four legged friends come stay with us when their parents go out of town. He enjoys it so much our family decided to open up our home to other dogs in need of a loving place to vacation. I am a Paramedic and generally have 4 days off every week so I’m available for walks in the local area. My wife is a teacher M-F. Sleepover dogs have access to a gated back yard with plenty of room to run around and a flat dirt area for them to do their business. Plenty of couch, dog beds, and human beds for them to choose from. Room for a crate if that is more comfortable for them. We are near the Doheny beach trail which is our usually run/walk route. We sometimes hit the dog park off Stonehill. Depending on how active our visitors are I’ve taken them on 3-6 mile runs or hikes. Basically the dogs go where we go.


8. Steph G.

“Steph is amazing and goes above and beyond for our dog like he's her own. He has so much fun when we go to pick him up he doesn't want to leave!”


9. Tara P.

“Tara was exceptional. 5++++. We were in town visiting family (no dogs were allowed in the rental house.) Tara made pick up and drop off super quick and efficient and our pup even came home with a new toy!!! She kept me updated With videos and pictures. I felt 100% confident leaving my dog with her And will definitely use her again when we are in town.”


10. Daniela M.

“I'm so glad I found Daniela. She took great care of Rocky and I was able to spend the holidays with my daughter. I will definitely have Rocky stay with her again when needed.”


11. Sean M.

“5 Stars ! this was our first time using Rover and having our 2 1/2 year old golden doodle left with someone other than family. It was a GREAT experience. Sean was so accommodating from start to finish and provided us daily updates and photos of our pup while we were away. I would highly recommend him !!”


12. JEE H.
“He was a sitter for my maltipoo during our summer holiday. He sent us Charles' pictures everyday so we did not need to worry about him. Charles was so so happy during his stay in Jee's place. Charles looked happier and healthier. We definitely recommend Jee for everyone. I appreciate how he took care of Charles.”


13. Radhika V.


“As a first-time Roverer, I had a wonderful experience with Radhika. I appreciated her updates, photos and videos. I know Charlie loved her sniffari walks with Radhika because she now is more calm and sniffy on our walks at home. Radhika is a pro and took exceptional care of Charlie.”


14. Jyoti T.

“Jyoti T. And her husband were able to’ accomodate our request on same day in order for us to attend a special dinner event. We traveled in from AZ and was concerned what would be best for Dylan. This sitter was a God sent to us and our fur baby!! She kept us informed with pics and video! It was clear they loved him and did excellent care. I would not hesitate to use her in the future! Recommend if you need someone to keep your fur baby and in the area of Dana Point, reach out to her!!”


15. Sondra & Kirk P.


“Highly recommend!!! My two boys were very well loved and taken care of during their stay with Sondra and Kirk. They have a nice spacious space for the dogs and are wonderful people themselves!”


16. Doreen B.

“Doreen, thank you so much for watching our girls while we were on our honeymoon. We had travel issues beyond our control that delayed our return and we were so grateful for Doreen for being understanding and keeping our pups longer than planned. So very thankful for that and how she takes such great care of our dogs. We missed them a ton but knew they were in good hands.”


17. Brenda S.

“This is my best experience I have ever had with Rover. Brenda and her husband are super nice couple and taking a great care of my dog. They kept playing with my dog and gave him very nice time. Brenda kept me posted several times a day with photos and she is perfect at communication via text. They took care of my dog like their lovely dog. I am happy to find them and also find a second home for my dog once we travel.”


18. Brie B.
“I had a great experience with drop off dog-sitting for my dog, who requires medication twice daily. The sitter provided updates photos and videos which gave me peace of mind My dog loved staying at my sitters house for 3 weeks. I have used the sitter many times. Since. I highly recommend this service to anyone in need of a loving and responsible sitter!”


19. carmen k.

“Cari and her family were amazing! We needed to schedule boarding over the holiday on very short notice, and Cari was so accommodating and easy to work with. Her and her family were so warm and welcoming to our dog, Goose, and we felt very comfortable leaving him in their care. Cari provided lots of updates with photos and videos which made us so happy while we were away. Goose got so much love and lots of walks with his new best friend. We absolutely recommend Cari!”
20. Ron B.
