“Takako and her husband were amazing! This was my first time leaving Gracie and they made me feel so comfortable about everything. I received daily updates and photos from Takako and they took such good care of Gracie. It was so easy to coordinate with them. I will definitely have them watch Gracie again in the future. I highly recommend!!”
“May, her husband Marc, and their ADORABLY SWEET tiny dog, Pepper, ARE SUCH A BLESSING!!! This sweet, wonderful family lives in my heart. I know my beloved pet is loved and cared for when with them as if she is their own. Thank you, May, with all of my heart!”
“Palmer had a wonderful time staying with Kimberly and her 2 dogs! Kimberly is very responsive and was so kind to send pictures of the cute little trio throughout the days Palmer stayed with her. We are so thankful to have found this option for Palmer for when our family needs to be away. We highly recommend Kimberly to anyone in the area! 🐶🐾🦴🤩”
“A huge thanks to Todd and Cindy for taking care of our pup (Marley). We booked a two week sitting 5-6 weeks in advance. Marley decided to eat plastic a week prior and had to have surgery to remove it. They took him in a week later and helped nurse him back to health (diet, meds, etc). Not only that, but in the days leading up to his stay, they made us feel super comfortable keeping our plans and leaving him in their care. We are so glad we found them!”
“Sully loves to spend time with Claire and Leo!! Claire provides updates and pictures daily. She is amazing. I can enjoy my trip knowing that Sully is in her care ❤️”
“You can tell right away that Brooke is an amazing dog sitter - she asked great questions about Bonnie to make sure she was comfortable during her stay. I received super cute photos too! Will definitely book Brooke again, 10/10, 5 stars.”
“It gave me peace of mind to know that my dog was in caring hands. Very attentive and kind. I would highly recommend them for anybody who is looking for a reliable and attentive Dog Sitter. It was home away from home for my dog.”
“Michael was great for my dog Olive! She had a great stay with him and his family. They took her on multiple walks a day and kept us updated throughout the stay. One of the best experiences we have had.”
“Gina was great, communicated what was going on with my dog and made sure I was always informed. My dog seamed happy to be in her care. I’d trust her with my dog any day.”
“Yelena took great care of our pup for a night out!! We live in the same neighborhood and he now stops at her door every time that we pass, you can tell that he really enjoyed his time with her! She was very attentive and really cared for his safety, knowing that there has been coyotes in the area, she was sure to walk him in areas that were well lit and safe!”
“This sitter is one of the best I've had. I felt that my pets were both taken care of and loved. She had groomed my cat for me as well and he now looks very nice and kept.”

“Alix was extremely helpful with a last minute booking, and I couldn't be more happy with the entire experience. She is communicative, and sends adorable pictures and videos of our dog, Cleo. I would absolutely book again for any future trip.”

Del Mar dog parents share their Rover experiences
Christy and her family were fantastic and took great care of our pups. They sent photos and videos every day and were mindful of their quirks and feeding instructions. It’s always anxiety-inducing to leave your dogs with a new sitter, but Christy made us feel at ease with her confidence and care. We would highly recommend her, and we will definitely be bringing our dogs back next time we go on a trip.
We left our Wheaten Terrier, Finn, with Linda for a week, and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. Linda, her husband, and Sammie took wonderful care of Finn and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Linda kept us updated throughout the week with messages and photos - it was clear that he was treated like part of the family. We can definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and attentive dog sitter.
Yelena took great care of my frenchie, Kylo. He has intervertebral disc disease (IVDD) so he needs special care and daily meds. Yelena took the time to do a meet and greet with us to make sure that Kylo was comfortable with her. What I appreciated about Yelena was that she asked questions, was interested in Kylo’s needs due to his back problems and personality quirks. She helped me feel at ease that he was in good hands. When I picked him up from her place, he was resting comfortably in his bed. He was well taken care of. I would use Yelena again.
