“Irene was wonderfully communicative and took great care of our Chihuahua mix. It's such a relief having someone close by who can look after our dog like her own. I definitely plan to leave Pinky with Irene again in the future!”
“Judy was amazing. She was very patient and attentive with Cary. She was extremely communicative with me and was very flexible with any changes I needed ❤️”
“Clinton and his son Lincoln were fantastic. Lots of pictures and videos along with walks and play sessions. Our pup might have had more fun on vacation than we did. Highly recommend!”
“Tina watched our dog for 4 days and went above and beyond. She was extremely attentive to our dog’s needs and sent plenty of pictures of how well everything was going. We will absolutely book again for our next trip. Thank you Tina!”
“Cooper had a great time with Judith and her family. We booked Judith for a last minute doggy daycare and I felt comfortable leaving cooper with her right off the bat. Will definitely use her again.”
“Lindsay was excellent when she took care of Frida. She always kept us informed and sent lots of pictures about how Frida was doing. Frida is usually anxious whenever she spends time away from me or my wife but Lindsay helped Frida feel comfortable and welcome. Also, having extra doggies around was perfect to help keep Frida company and have friends to play with. Would recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone to take care of their dog.”
“First time back on Rover in a while. Needed a find a new dog sitter for a long weekend away and found Nandita. Excellent sitter. We met before the stay to see if my lab would get along with hers. They did and it gave me confidence that it was going to be a great weekend for my dog Cooper. Lots of photos/videos and updates during our time away. Communication was great. Happy dog = happy dog Dad. Thanks Nandita! You rock.”
“Tina and her husband took wonderful care of my Lucy. They were quick to respond/schedule a meet and greet and were very receptive of all of Lucy’s personality quirks. They were flexible with drop off/pick up, provided great updates, and were very communicative. Lucy will definitely be back!”
“Kevin and Ana are wonderful! We had our dog, Buddy, stay with them for in home boarding and he had a fantastic time playing with their dogs. Kevin provided frequent updates with photos and videos. Our dog had a minor injury right before our trip and required daily medication and a little extra TLC. We were so grateful for the great care he received during his stay.”
“Chaz just had another long stay with Rosediane. As always, she kept us updated with texts and pictures. Chaz had a great time with Rosediane and we’re so happy to have found her!”
“Yenis exceeded expectations!! I was so nervous to leave my Charlie with someone he was unfamiliar with but he had the best time with Yenis and looked so happy and comfortable in every photo I received. We will 100% be using her for future stays 😊 Thank you, Yenis!”
About: I have a lifetime of caring for my own pets, including senior care. I am loving, attentive, observant and treat every animal as my own. Rover is my sole job so there are no competing demands in my life. I am focused on the dogs in my care and my schedule allows for multiple walks in your neighborhood or mine, play time and of course hugs and kisses. No matter the age or special needs of your dog, I have the time, maturity and focus to give your dog the care they deserve. My home is safe clean and in a good neighborhood, two 2 large lawns where your dog can be walked & play. I am familiar with all local vets, emergency services and dog parks.
“Rich was great with our dogs! He sent pictures and updates each day which made us feel at ease. His space for the dogs is safe and spacious. Will definitely use him again!”
About: I treat every pet like my own — with patience, respect, and lots of love. I have hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all ages, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors who need a slower pace and extra care. I’m comfortable with administering medication, following special diets, and maintaining consistent routines so pets feel safe and happy. I also have experience with basic obedience training and positive reinforcement, so I can help reinforce good habits while you’re away. Whether it’s a playful walk, a calm cuddle session, or managing special needs, I always focus on creating a stress-free, loving environment for every furry friend in my care. Caring for furry friends is part of my everyday life! I start and end most days with walks, playtime, and snuggles with my own pets. Fitting in visits or stays with other pets feels completely natural — it’s something I truly enjoy, not just a job. Whether it’s a morning walk, an afternoon check-in, or an overnight stay, I plan my schedule around giving each pet the time and attention they deserve. Spending time with furry friends is honestly the best part of my day! When I’m caring for pets in my home, I make sure they feel comfortable and part of the family right away. I keep a clean, safe space for them to relax, play, and rest. We go on regular walks, have plenty of playtime, and of course, lots of cuddles and attention. I always stick to their normal routine — from feeding times to favorite toys — so they feel right at home. When I’m in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect and care as my own. I follow all instructions carefully, keep things tidy, and make sure your pets stay happy, comfortable, and on their usual schedule. I send photo updates so you can see how they’re doing and feel at ease while you’re away. Whether it’s in my home or yours, your pets will be loved, safe, and cared for like family! ❤️
