Thank you for taking care of our dogs and the assurance that they were well cared for allowed us to truly enjoy our vacation.”

About: I have had pets my entire life. With a range of dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, geckos, chinchillas, and fish. I take pride in knowing animal behaviors and being able to accommodate to all needs from puppies to seniors. I work full time but can work from home when needed. My husband is a stay at home dad. So someone is always at the house or near by. We have a large spacious home, with plenty of space to explore and find comfort. Our backyard is fenced in with a lock on the gate. Our neighborhood has sidewalks and paths and is residential so only local homeowners travel in and out the area. Very quiet and clean neighborhood.
“Morgan and her family are very welcoming and Nala had lots of fun with all of her kids. Morgan did a great job keeping me up to date of Nala and sending me pictures and videos. Nala had lots of fun. Thank you Morgan as a first time user of this app, you increase my confidence.”
“Stacia and her family were so sweet! Ghost was so well taken care of. I was constantly getting funny and cute pictures of my baby, Our dogs got along so well! Ghost will miss you guys! Can’t wait to book again🥰”
“Stella's 1st extended stay with Lizbeth & Earl and she could not have been in better hands. We were able to leave town and had peace of mind knowing Stella would be loved and cared for just as if she was at home!!”
“Elisa was absolutely wonderful while taking care of my pup. I loved getting videos and pictures throughout his stay with her. It was obvious he was well loved and cared for while at her home. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Liz took great care of my little dog while I was on vacay. She sent me daily pics of my dog hanging out with her family members. My dog even slept in her grandson’s room. I will definitely book her again :) Thank you very much Liz!”
“Joan is an excellent pet care taker. She was so good with our senior (15 yr old) pug! He was so happy and she was very attentive to his needs. I could tell he was well taken care of. He can’t wait for his next visit.”

“Absolutely glad we chose Catalina for our first Rover experience. Loki lived her and she had her dog and another one there and they all played so well together. She sent plenty of pics and videos through our time away and I smiled so big each time I received them. We will definitely use Catalina for future trips. Thanks!!!”
“I was really apprehensive about using a stranger to watch my two yorkies. To make matters worse, I had read horror stories about people leaving their furbabies with someone they found on Rover. I didn’t want to board my babies, so I decided to try a pet sitter instead—and I’m so glad I did! I found Carol through the Rover app and started a conversation with her. We set up a meet and greet the week before we were leaving. Carol was very warm and welcoming, and she immediately connected with my dogs. Her house was immaculate, and she had a nice fenced-in backyard. She even mentioned that she’d still walk them on a leash because they’re small and she didn’t want to take any chances with them slipping through the fence. That showed me how thoughtful and cautious she is. During our visit, my yorkies wandered around her house, sniffing and exploring. Before long, they jumped up on her couch and made themselves right at home! After meeting Carol in person and seeing how comfortable my pups were, I felt so much better and confident they’d be in good hands. Carol watched my babies for five days and four nights. Throughout their stay, she sent me regular updates and pictures, which gave me such peace of mind. Most of the time, they were snuggled up on the couch looking completely relaxed and happy. One day, Carol messaged to let me know that my female wasn’t eating much. I asked if she could get her a hamburger or something I knew she would eat, and I’d reimburse her. Carol offered to make chicken and rice instead, and after getting my okay, she whipped it up—and my pup ate with no problem after that! I really appreciate Carol for taking such wonderful care of my yorkies while we were away. She treated them like her own and went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable and loved. I will definitely be using Carol again for future trips. She was amazing!”
