“Thank you Ashish! It’s not easy leaving your pet with strangers, and Maya is not the easiest dog to handle , but you were very kind and patient with her. Thanks also for the photos and video, it was so nice seeing her at ease in your home. We will definitely use you again in the future.”
“I'm really appreciate Nadine's care for Laila. She seemed really nervous on the first day despite having a meet&greet beforehand. Nadine was patient with her and she sent an update every day and I love seeing that Laila is getting along with her cute poms. My car broke down on my last day of the trip and Nadine was able to extend the booking for another day and dropped her back to our house.”
“This will be our 2nd time leaving our baby Snow with Ali. We are so happy that we found her to take care of our Snow she does such a good job and is so sweet with him. We highly recommend Ali to anyone looking for a caring sitter for their dog.”
About: I’ve had pets of my own for more than 30 years and have extensive hands-on experience caring for animals. I’ve fostered pets for two local rescue organizations and have also volunteered extensively with a well-known local rescue, including at mobile adoption events, screening potential adopters, and conducting home visits. In addition, I’ve provided pet sitting and care for neighbors, friends, and co-workers over the years. I’m very comfortable caring for animals and getting to know their individual personalities, quirks, and routines. With two cats and two dogs of my own, pet care is already a big part of my daily routine! My schedule is flexible, so I’m able to accommodate additional pets throughout the week, including daytime visits as well as mornings and evenings. I’m also happy to work with your pet’s existing schedule and routines as much as possible. I have a fully fenced yard and plenty of flexibility in my home to accommodate visiting pets safely and comfortably. My dogs are socialized and crate-trained, and I also have a separate pet room where my cats can stay if needed, so I’m able to keep animals separated when appropriate. I know that every pet has its own routine and comfort level, so I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and anything else that helps your pet feel at home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m equally happy to follow their usual routine and keep things as familiar and consistent as possible while you’re away.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life. Growing up we had 12 Dobermans on our property. Most of my childhood involves caring for them. Since then I’ve owned dogs, and worked on other platforms taking care of and walking other animals. You can trust your fur baby will be in the best of care. I am a stay at home mom, I am very flexible with your and your pets needs. I am open to any time you need me. I am very careful when dogs are in my home. I know being away from home can be scary for them. I don’t leave doors open- I treat every dog as if they could be runners. I try my best to relieve their anxiety and give them that extra attention or space.
“Jeanette & her family were great with our dogs!! The daily updates were great and when our little pup was sick (prior intermittent medical condition) she contacted me right away & was able to administer medicine for her. We’ve already booked again ?”
“Kaja was absolutely incredible!! She treated my pup just like part of her own family. She sent me pictures and updates daily and is such a quick communicator. Reliable, safe, and trustworthy. I will definitely be asking Kaja to take care of my dog in the future! 10/10”
“Lanette and Dave are wonderful caretakers who have taken excellent care of our dog Cooper for more than a week. Their warmth and love of animals was apparent from our first meeting. Lanette and Dave are not only exceptional caretakers but knowledgeable, reliable, efficient and devoted. They took the necessary amount of time for the meet & greet so that Cooper was comfortable in the new place and happy with them, and they made sure they learned more about his routine, habits and character. While we were away they sent updates and pictures which was awesome! We were also grateful for their availability of accommodating Cooper a bit longer, as our trip got disrupted by a cancelled flight. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Lanette and Dave and will absolutely be having them stay with Cooper again. It’s great to feel free to travel and know that your pet is well loved and well cared for. He seemed happy and healthy upon our return. Thank you very much!”
“Viola went above and beyond with the care for our sweet baby Rahki. She got him used to daily walks and gave so much love and care and also was super flexible with drop off and pick up.”
“Kiarash took my pup in when I had a work emergency. I was apprehensive at first because my puppy had never been with a stranger nor have I ever used rover before but things went really good. My puppy is extremely friendly with anyone he comes across. Though my concern is with staying overnight with a stranger because he’s never done that. Kiarash took his time to update me, pass on some knowledge and really spend quality time with my pup and together with his pup. Gatsby came back really happy and seemed to have bonded with both Kiarash and his puppy Sky. I would recommend anyone who is a new puppy parent or anyone who needs a day of onboarding. Kiarash is the reason i am more comfortable using rover when needed. I am hoping to set up other days in the future during some work trips. I trust his work and knowledge and that he would be a great with ANYONES dog. Thanks again Kiarash, my pup will surely miss you!”
“Hope is great with nervous dogs and makes them feel comfortable and loved. We booked her last minute for a week long trip caused by a family emergency, and it was so nice to not have to worry about our pup. Hope is very communicative and sends lots of pics and videos. Great sitter!”
“Chen is hands down the best sitter! This was our second time booking with him, and we already have a third stay on the calendar. He is incredibly responsive and sends daily updates packed with great photos and videos. It is so easy to see how happy and comfortable my dog is staying with him. Chen takes him on multiple daily walks to the park to keep him active and entertained. I couldn't ask for better peace of mind, highly recommend!”
About: I grew up with couple of my own dogs and a lot of other dogs around.spending time with animals is a source of happiness for me. I’m currently working part time and am available random and odd hours. Making room and adjusting my time will not be an issue at all. I can easily create comfortable environment with any pet at the client’s home. I have done this for so many years with my pets and neighbors pet
“Te’Arie was great with our maltipoo pup, who can be a bit on the nervous side when first meeting people and other dogs/cats. She knew just what to do to make her feel comfortable during her weekend stay and I loved how she kept me posted on their outings (walks and nearby beach) and shared pics. You can tell Te’Arie has experience working with different personalities and is also just a really warm, caring person. Would definitely book with Te’Arie again and highly recommend!”
“This is my fourth time booking with Irene. 10/10 every time. She’s prompt, responsive and compassionate. Irene keeps me in the loop at all times sending thorough photo and video recaps of the day. She’s been flexible and extremely understanding when it comes to delays/ changes in my business travel timelines.”

Luis is FANTASTIC! No need to look any further for a sitter. I left Teddy my 1 year old shepherd mix with Luis for 4 nights. He loved the whole time he was there! Playing with Luis's 2 dogs Sago and Lumi, including walks and playing all day. He was very comfortable hanging out at Luis's house couldn't have asked for a better sitter. Will definitely be back!!
HIGHLY RECOMMMENDED!!! Lauren and San did an amazing job caring for our little MacGuyver Pomeranian. They took him last minute. We felt they cared for MacGuyver as if he were one of their own. They took all of his detailed instructions in stride and carried out each one of them. They sent videos and pictures throughout his short stay and communicated how he was doing. We will definitely use them again and could not provide a stronger recommendation. We felt MacGuyver was completely safe and sound and we never worried about his care for one moment. Five Stars!!!
Asatur is truly the best pet sitter we could ask for! He takes such amazing care of our dogs, Luna and Pippi, and we always feel completely comfortable knowing they’re with him. He’s incredibly reliable and is always willing to help, even on short notice. One of the things we love most is that he takes care of multiple dogs at once, so Luna and Pippi get to spend their time hanging out and playing with their friends rather than being alone. They absolutely love going to Asatur’s! He’s also incredibly thoughtful and attentive when it comes to their individual needs. He makes sure they’re fed on schedule, gets their medicine right, and genuinely treats them like they’re his own. It’s clear how much he cares about every dog in his care. We couldn’t recommend Asatur more highly. If you’re looking for someone you can completely trust with your dogs, look no further. Luna and Pippi are always excited to see him, and that says everything!
Mariah is incredibly kind, warm, responsible, and flexible. She took great care of Bolo and helped maintain our training protocols (which can be a big ask with a 10 month old pup!) She did careful and thoughtful introductions with her doggies, took Bolo on walks, fed him, and made sure he was comfortable and happy. She also sent frequent updates and photos, so I could relax knowing my little guy was doing alright. Her house is perfect for dogs - she has multiple gates to separate dogs as needed and a big yard for the pups to play. She also lives on a quiet street, so there are not cars zooming by.
Kaja took in our 5 month old puppy last minute so our family could go out of town for a funeral. Once I chatted with her on the phone, I knew our puppy would be in good hands. It was a relief to have one less thing to worry about. Kaja was incredibly communicative and sent us photos and videos. Would absolutely rebook.
