“Archie absolutely adores his Wenxin and her whole family. The second he sees that we are pulling up to her house he starts to pull on his seatbelt. Not so much as a "goodbye" when he darts off to see his friends. We could not be happier to have found her!”
“We were worried about leaving our new puppy for the first time, but Alisha set up a Zoom so we could meet her the day before and it was immediately obvious that she would take great care of our little guy. Then, when we dropped him off, he practically jumped into her arms and made himself at home in the space she has set up which is perfect for doggy guests. She sent us updates and pics throughout the evening. We are very glad to have Alisha nearby for the future. I especially appreciate her depth of knowledge -- she is a great resource for those of us who have limited experience with raising puppies!”
About: For boarding, my house as a large yard for any dog to run around in. For walking, I likely spoil any dog with treats if allowed Currently as I look for new job opportunities, I am available most days to look after your dog. I have a fairly flexible with my schedule and able to pick up and drop-off if nearby. I have a 45lb german shephard that is calm when indoors. If weather is nice then I will let the dogs run around in a fenced in yard. I would like to introduce them just to be safe, but my dog is friendly with all dogs.
“Radha was great as usual, we reached out in the morning for a same day daycare request and she responded right away. Our dog was so excited to see her and Jimmy. We got pictures and video all day that showed our dog having so much fun. Radha is so great and we'll be booking with her again.”
“Kelly was wonderful with my pup Mochi, and easy to communicate with. I just got Mochi (a rescue) a couple of weeks ago so I was nervous about leaving him for the day but Kelly was very reassuring and Mochi had a great time!”
About: Hi! We are Angelina and Xavior & we are here to be your fur baby’s new favorite sitter! We joined Rover in 2018 & have met so many amazing fur babies & pet parents! I (Angelina) have been taking care of different animals since I was about 9 years old, however as of 5 years ago I’ve started to work with pets in a more professional setting. I started at a doggie daycare, until moved to a training & boarding kennel. The owner also did have a dog rescue as well. There I worked with one of the best dog trainers in Northern Virginia for almost 2 years & learned a lot not only about dog training but also working with rescue pups & how it sometimes can be a bit different! After that I worked at an SPCA location with rescue pups & kitties! We relocated to Atlanta for a while where we continued to do Rover & I also worked at another doggie daycare/kennel/rescue hybrid! Aside from this I do also have a dog training certification as well as a grooming certification. We both have experience with a variety of animals including but not limited to dogs,cats,cows,goats,horses,reptiles,birds,rodents,etc. We hope this gives you a bit more Insight on us both & we can’t wait to hear from you! I recently made the decision to work on rover full-time as I love being able to provide at-home care for your fur babies that cannot board in a kennel-like-environment. Pet care will always fit in perfectly to my routine! We will always follow your pet’s typical routine unless otherwise requested. We know how stressful it can be for both the pet & pet parent, which is why your baby is always our top priority. Whether it is a drop-in, quick walk, or month long stay we make sure to give your baby lots of love while their you are away! We have a dog who is quite the social butterfly! If your baby also loves to make friends she would be a great addition to keeping us company!
About: Tiny Paws, Huge Hearts! Hi, my name is Beverley and I have been a dog lover all of my life since I was a little girl. I am especially experienced with small - breed dogs such as Chihuahuas, Yorkies, Pomeranians, Malteses, ShihTzus and lots of other mini mixes. I understand their unique needs, gentle handling and extra attention that smaller dogs often require. Whether you have a super spunky little one or a shy snuggled, I always make sure your little fur baby feels safe, understood and truly loved while you’re away. Reliable TLC & personalized home care for your small breed dogs. I’ve been around small dogs for several years now and truly treat every pup like my own. I’m currently working from home remotely, so your dog will get plenty of company, close supervision and lots of love throughout the day. I’m available for overnight boarding throughout the week and also on weekends. If your dog loves being pampered, cuddled and treated like one of the family - then we’re a perfect match! I have a fully fenced yard and 2 fur babies of my own to keep your little one occupied and comfortable (a dog friendly environment for small dog breeds). I offer lots of walks & playtime, frequent potty breaks , and a calm, safe home environment with lots of cuddle time. And if you have a nervous or shy pup, I give lots of patience and understanding with gentleness and plenty of rewards.
“Jessica is a natural with dogs! She is very thoughtful and detail oriented. I have 2 seniors with special health needs and she is very attentive and reliable. My dogs are anxious with changes to their routine but after a few days with Jessica they were happy to rush into her place when I dropped off, and tried to follow her back to her place instead of getting in the car to leave after pick up. I definitely recommend Jessica!”
“Yagmur did a great job with my husky, Alba! She was friendly, communicative, and shared a lot of updates throughout the day, which I really appreciated, especially since it was Alba's first time with dog boarding.”
About: Your pet is in good hands. I'm an owner of a rambunctious two year old Bernedoodle named Sunny. I helped take care of my disabled neighbors dog for 2-3 years as a teen before before becoming a dog owner of my own. I can offer walks tailored to your dogs energy whether that be a brisk neighborhood stroll & playtime or a calm sniff & relaxed walk. I can help with training puppies and administer medication. You'll receive reliable, safe and fun care with regular photo updates! I'm available everyday 8 am to 10 pm. If I am doing overnight then I'm available for around the clock care. I'm flexible as I committing to animal care full time. I have a large backyard with grass that is fenced in. We live in a safe quiet neighborhood with not a lot of traffic. I have all the items your dogs needs (toys, a crate and even food if needed). Our dog Sunny is friendly and playful with other dogs.
About: I have been raising, training and loving dogs since I was a kid. It's second nature to me, and so is supporting you as the owner to feel heard & comfortable while you're away from your baby. I have experience raising puppies, managing dogs with high energy, and making quirky pups with higher needs feel comfortable. For puppies or older dogs learning, I can offer training & training reinforcement. For senior dogs, I can help with more delicate care. Our household works from home, so your dog will always be supervised while they're here. Our neighborhood is fantastic for solo walks, and for social & active dogs, we're close to Pt. Isabel, the Albany Bulb, and the little dog park. One thing to note: I have a 10 year old human baby who is a dog (and bug, bird, reptile) lover and member of your care team in our household. For in-home services like boarding and daycare, please note your dog must be okay being near children. :) I can't wait to meet you and your pup! As an entrepreneur, my schedule is flexible - pet care fits perfectly into my days and often gets me out of the house and happier! It's important to me to listen to you & learn about your pet so that I can provide the best possible care for them while you're away. I want you to feel comfortable - whether you're just at work for the day or on vacation. Our backyard is fenced and the household very experienced with the various temperaments of different dogs.
“Julieth is so attentive and caring. She accepted a very last minute care but accommodated a call and a meet & greet in a very short time. They took such good care of Chiisai with lots of photos for just the one day visit. Chiisai has a new family now.”
“Juyeon was absolutely amazing! I could tell Goose was comfortable with her and very well taken care of. He always slept like a rock after coming home. We cannot wait to use her services again. Would highly recommend!”
“If I could give 6 stars I would. Kianna and the kids treated Charlie with care and kindness. They played til he dropped. Normally when I pick him up from days care, he’s ready to go, not today. I think he was upset he was leaving. :) I will be booking again. Thank you Kianna.”
“Hui-Min is an excellent sitter! She was very kind and thoughtful. My dog immediately felt at ease with her and settled in quickly. She sent some nice updates and it was clear that he had a great day with her. I’d definitely recommend her as a sitter!”

Christiano is great with our dog. He is such a nice guy and you can tell he really cares about animals. We feel comfortable leaving our boy with him and know he's in good hands. It's really nice to have someone we can rely on when we need a dog sitter. He even was able to take our dog last minute/day of when we needed someone. Our dog also has some specific needs and Christiano is always accommodating. Definitely recommend him and his team!
My former Rover professional recently retired and I had to find a replacement. I was so, so glad I found this pair to watch my treasured Kyle. I have been interacting with Lucas. He is always prompt in meeting me when I drop off Kyle and when I pick him up. During our Meet and Greet Lucas showed me his home and doggie-perfect back yard. I was impressed. He also spent some time with me introducing me to the six other dogs that were there. The meeting was informative and a good chance for the two of us to see how Kyle fit in. Lucas is a true professional. He couldn't be better.
While visiting the Bay Area, we were lucky to find Yagmur. Montague had fun daycare visits with Yagmur for a few days. She kept us up-to-date during his stays with her, sending photos regularly and providing other updates on his other activities. We got a bit late picking him up one evening, Yagmur was the most accommodating about it. We highly recommend her for your dogs daycare or boarding needs. It was absolutely lovely for us and we would use Yagmur’s services again.

What a blessing to have found Nicole ! All I can say is that she cared for and loved Petunia like her own. That's the greatest quality I could ask for in a pet sitter. She is the best. Petunia ran into her home and pressed up against Nicole's legs and feet as soon as she met her. Smitten pup = smitten mom.
Claudia is wonderful! Olive is anxious and has some separation anxiety. Claudia took time out of her own day to meet Olive ahead of her doggy day care and it made all the difference. Olive had a great time and I received plenty of updates/photos throughout the day. Definitely recommend!
