“I dropped my pup off with Nichole on my way to work. She made it very easy to leave him and was flexible enough for me to pick him up after I got off at 10pm. She tried to send picks throughout the day but wasn’t as familiar with the day care settings so I didn’t get them until later. I don’t blame her for that though because Rover is not a very good app tbh haha. But I think she learned how to do it so I’m sure if she did it now she wouldn’t have a problem. Some of the pictures she took were really good, too. My feeding instructions don’t seem too difficult to me but lots of people who watch my pup don’t seem to get it right. But Nichole did it perfectly”
“I love how happy Artemis is whenever he comes home after staying with arianah !”
“It was my first time using the app and getting this service. Daisy and JP were great taking care of my two dogs, they communicate very well and kept me updated with pictures and videos of my dogs. I will contact them again soon and I highly recommend them.”
“Ashley was great!! We had a very last minute request and she was super responsive. Seems like our dog had a great time with her! Will definitely be back :)”
About: Dogs have been my quiet passion since childhood. I used to collect dog-themed postcards, books, and just about anything related to them. Calming dogs was even considered my “special skill” as a kid—and to this day, I still find joy in helping shy or anxious pups feel safe and loved. As a freelance designer who once dreamed of becoming a veterinarian, I bring that same care, sensitivity, and attention to detail into the way I care for animals. I naturally read each pet’s body language and adapt to their emotional needs—whether they need a slow, gentle approach or playful companionship. Even now, my husband and I sometimes visit service dogs at our local library to read books to them—just to spend time with dogs while we miss our own pup who lives with our parents on the mainland. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do—it’s something I truly love. I work from home on weekdays with a flexible schedule—typically between 8 AM and 4 PM—but I’m happy to adjust as needed to fit your pet’s care routine. I’m available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, or simply keeping your pet company. Evenings are also open, and my husband (who’s just as passionate about dogs!) often joins me in caring for them. Saturdays are also available, while Friday nights and Sundays may be limited due to church commitments. Above all, I’m committed to being present, responsive, and reliable—ensuring your pet always feels safe, loved, and well cared for. To start, I’m focusing on dog walking and drop-in visits outside the home. I live in a cozy two-bedroom condo with an ocean view, which is currently best suited for small to medium-sized dogs. As I gain more experience and build trust with each pet I care for, I plan to gradually offer in-home daycare as well. Our space is clean, quiet, and filled with warmth—perfect for dogs who enjoy a calm, cozy environment with lots of love. Whether I’m walking your dog or caring for them at home, safety, comfort, and trust are always my top priorities.
“Excellent care - so communicative, sent photos while I needed to be out, and my dog was returned to me so calm and happy. She was clearly well loved and cared for by Lovina and her partner. As a dog parent, I could not ask for any better! Highly recommend!”
About: I have taken care of pets for friends and family and friends of friends. Just like when I teach in schools, I provide a safe and welcoming space. I have experience walking, hiking, feeding, giving baths, giving medicine, and teaching new tricks to dogs. I have cared for cats as well. In my adult years I've had three dogs of my own and two cats. I have used Rover before for my dog, and now would love to provide great service for other peoples' dogs and cats, like how Rover sitters did for my dog. I value communication and look forward to sending my clients photos frequently of all the fun their pet is having when being taken care of by me. I have a baby, so I am home a lot. My schedule is very flexible. I can provide lots of love, playtime, and walks for your pet. If your pet stays with me, your pet will receive frequent walks as exercise is important to me for the pet's health and my own. Lots of love, treats, and cuddles to give here!
“Scott and his family were wonderful caretakers of my puppy Kapili. I was able to relax and focus on my work because I knew he was in such good hands. Scott, his wife, daughters and mother-in-law are openhearted and trustworthy people. I was able to communicate freely about the needs of my Fur Baby and Scott was understanding and accommodating. I will definitely continue to use them.”
“Amy was very nice and patient with Chance. Sent numerous photos throughout the day to let me know he’s in good hands. Will most definitely book with her again in the near future!”
“Frequent updates with pictures and my dog seemed really comfortable right away”
About: I have been taking care of pets since I was 10, building a reputation and name for myself around my neighborhood. I love getting to know new friends and animals and loving on them. I work part time so I have plenty of time to also take care of your sweet pets! They will be loved and cared for dearly! I make sure to treat your animals and homes with the utmost care and respect! I understand trust is a big part of this job and wouldn’t want to lose that.
“Cruzer only stayed with Kelly for about 4 hours so it is hard to review her. This is my first experience with someone watching over him. Maybe I need to experience others to get a better idea what I want in a sitter.”
“This was our first time using Rover for dog daycare. As soon as we met them we felt relieved because they are very nice and trustworthy. Even though it was short stay this time, they sent a lot of pictures. Which really helped put us at ease. Before we tried daycare, we were a little worried because our dog is shy to other dog but their Golden retriever, Simba is very nice and friendly, too. We are sure this was good experience for our dog. We will use their daycare service again!”

“I can not say enough great things about Luis and Christine!! They truly love animals and could not have provided a more welcoming and loving environment for my dog.

“Winton was awesome - communicative, easy going, & flexible. Luna returned super calm and happy, which tells me how absolutely loved she was during her daycare visit!”
“Kelsey was able to watch our pup last min and was great with her! Good communication as well. I would definitely recommend to watch you pet!”
About: I take care of dogs just like they are my own children. I always keep an eye on them to make sure they feel safe and loved. If I take them for a walk I make sure I clean them before they come back to the house. I allow them to sleep in my room on the floor. If the pet’s owner asks me to follow certain directions I will follow 100%. I like to take them for walks about 3 x a day. Dogs need exercise too. When my students come I make sure the dog is entertained by the children. Kids love dogs and dogs feel extra loved by my students. I like to take the dogs in the backyard to play. I make sure the owners want to bring their dogs back again. I’m semi retired and I have plenty of time to care for your pups. I’m available from Monday through Friday . I will make some exceptions for weekends . They are welcome to walk around the house but I will probably just keep them in the living room. At night I will make sure they feel safe and sleep next to me but not on my bed.
