“Kobe had a wonderful time with Manli! I appreciated all the photos and updates and could see he was playing his heart out with the other dogs as well as getting his cuddles in. He returned happy and tired out!”
“Poppy had a great stay! Margaret was so patient and thoughtful getting Poppy settled and comfortable with her crew. Communication was just right to put my mind at ease and see that Poppy was having a great time.”
About: Raised with two dogs in my household, I’ve had the pleasure of training two puppies, caring for them and being responsible for any of their needs. After they passed a couple years ago, I’ve continued to enjoy my time with other neighbors and friends pets as they have relied on me for pet sitting and walking. I hope to one day have a pet myself to care for and love! During the weekends, I have an extremely flexible schedule to spend time playing and walking your dog! I would be able to walk anytime of the day, rain or shine. I live in an apartment and have closed doors and windows that will help maintain pet safety while they are in my home. In addition to the neat and clean environment, my apartment also has pet relief areas on the ground floor.
“Five stars! Couldn't ask for a better dog sitter! I can't recommend Tracy highly enough! They went above and beyond caring for my dog while I was away. Tracy followed all my instructions perfectly, which gave me great peace of mind. More importantly, my dog came back happy and healthy! It was clear she received tons of love, attention, exercise, and care. Tracy was also fantastic about communication. They sent me regular updates and adorable photos, which helped ease any worries and made my trip even more enjoyable. Overall, I had an amazing experience with Tracy and will definitely be booking them again for any future dog sitting needs. They truly are the best!”
“Fang took great care of our dog Aspen during her weekend stay. She is very responsive and flexible and sent many updates with pictures and videos during her stay. Thank you so much for taking great care of our pup! Will definitely book again in the future 😊”
“We love having our dog stay with Jesse and Kimmy. She truly can't wait to jump out of the car when we arrive and we know she is so well taken care of when she's there. We'll definitely be booking with them again.”
“We couldn't have been more pleased with the care Jifu provided for our dog. He was responsive, professional, and, most importantly, handled our very energetic pup with care. Our dog seemed to really enjoy her time with Jifu and his dog, Joki!”
“Nina and Leo were great! Quick communication and they were very understanding of our dog’s separation anxiety. We dropped our dog off on Christmas Day and it was great knowing he was in good hands on a holiday!”
“Matthew and Katelyn were amazing! They took such great care of our pup for the night and made everything super easy. They sent updates and photos, and I could tell Coco was having a great time and felt totally comfortable. When we picked him up, he was happy and relaxed. I’m so glad we found them — I’d definitely book again!”
“Cesar had taken care of ZuZu for a few occasions now. Zuzu loved to go to his home. I am always happy to receive his daily updates, knowing that Zuzu is in good care with him. He is the best sitter I have had.”
“We can't say enough good things about Jasmine! She truly went above and beyond for Buddy. We loved receiving her daily updates and adorable photos, which gave us such peace of mind. It was clear from all the pictures that Buddy had a great time and was happy as could be while enjoying all his favorite activities. Thank you Jasmine for all your care!”
“Our favorite Rover dog-sitters moved, but they recommended a new family that took excellent care of our two small pups while we were away. MinJun & Mi Ran P. had a lovely home with a fenced in patio that was very safe and comfortable for our dogs. They were able to feed two finicky eaters, take them for walks, and share many photos and videos of our dogs while we were away, so we knew what they were doing. The bonus was another dog was also boarding and our younger pup had so much fun playing that she is still tired today! Will 100% choose MinJun & Mi Ran for boarding again next time we need it.”
“Chris was so incredibly kind to both me and my dog Sadie. She had the best week with him. He took her on long walks, cuddled with her and made sure she got all her love and exercise. He sent me beautiful photos twice a day and let me know how she slept and how she ate and made sure to respond right away when I messaged. He really was the best host. Both Sadie and I felt lucky!”
“This was Shiloh's second time at Guillermo' and Siobhan's home. Guillermo has great vibes and Shiloh comes home fulfilled and tired. We couldn't ask for more!”
“Meerim took wonderful care of Machi. She created a warm, attentive environment and kept us updated with detailed daily messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. Her responsiveness and clear communication made a huge difference during those moments. We truly appreciated how proactive and caring she was throughout the entire stay. We would absolutely call upon Meerim again and look forward to working with her in the future.”
“Another great stay for our Sofia with Edward and Elisha! Love all the fun photos of Sofia at play, walks and resting….very reassuring to know that she is in such good caring hands. Thanks so much ! Marc & Helen”
“Sarai was awesome with my puppy! She took care of her, walked her daily, played with her and kept me updated throughout the stay. I felt confident that my puppy was well taken care of while I was away.”
“Kelly took great care of Lucky. He seemed very happy after his time with her and even as we were getting back in the car he went to the end of his leash to get one more look before she left. Highly recommend Kelly!”

My dog is quirky - she is high energy, full of personality, and a bit of a weirdo - I don’t trust just anyone to take care of her, but I do trust Margaret. Margaret took amazing care of Winter (despite her quirks)! I loved the updates and pictures. Would definitely use for boarding Margaret again.
We’re so thankful for Carolina! We had to leave our corgi in her care while he was still recovering from back surgery, and she did an amazing job taking care of him 💛 we were especially impressed because he had a rigid schedule of oral medication, going bathroom, etc — but she was so good at giving us regular updates, photos, and noting specific things during his stay with her. Thank you again Carolina!
Yun and Lina are very kind and caring. Tobin can definitely be naughty, he loves food and will try to eat anything he can, but he was well loved and comfortable in their home. I was out of the country for two weeks and they gave me regular updates throughout. Tobin did accidentally eat chocolate but Yun and Lina were very responsible and communicative, they brought him to the emergency vet and I was able to speak to them and the vet for Tobin’s treatment. Tobin was totally fine and remained happy at their home till I returned. I was put at ease as they were able to care for him even with the accident, and he was very relaxed when I brought him home.
