“Andrew was exceptional! I’m excited to book him again. He was attentive to detail and caring towards my cat, I felt very reassured and relieved being a first time cat owner going out of town.”
2. Carissa M.

3. Elizabeth G.
“Elizabeth was great watching my little baby! When my flights were cancelled and I was stuck a few days, she was super helpful in extending time. Very much appreciated!!”
4. Meaghan M.
“I had the pleasure of having my dog Sophie stay with Meaghan for a week while I was out of town, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! Sophie was shown so much love and affection, and she had a blast playing with her cousin, Ozzy. She went on multiple walks each day, enjoyed all the belly rubs, and came home a happy and content girl. It was clear that Sophie was treated like family, and I will definitely trust Meaghan with her care again in the future!”

7. Karen M.
“Hi my name is Andres and I have a golden retriver of red nose. Karen helped me to take care of my dog when I was traveling. Also for whenever I need her for emergencies, like in case that I have to go out for a couple of hours I know I can call her and she will be there for us. The most instersting thing is when my dog, Macchiato, met her for the first time he was very excited! I strongly recomend her. I trust her and she is the sweetest!”

9. Isabelle A.
About: I’ve always been surrounded by animals. I’m an animal lover and have taken care of lambs, cats, bunnies, chickens, and of course my favorite, dogs! I’m a student at Chapman University with classes from Monday-Thursday. This makes me free to take care and play with your dog(s) from Thursday night-Sunday night!! My apartment community is gated, enclosed, and animal friendly with a park, grassy areas, and animal-friendly neighbors. My apartment is also relatively open and spacious with living room space for playing!
10. Theodora O.
About: I am a dog lover and enthusiast. I've owned and cared for dogs for 25+ years. I've trained a Siberian Husky to be a service animal for a friend for example and owned my own for 7 years. After his passing, I didn't get another dog for 2 years. Currently, I own a Belgian Malinois whom I am training for service-animal work, as well as having personally trained her for therapy dog work. We go around to Skilled Nursing Facilities on their designated days and provide pet therapy for those who would like. My long-term boyfriend and my kiddo born in 2012 live in the home with me. They are so wonderful and helpful with the doggo's that come around. Especially my son. He'll play fetch and tug-o-war with the doggo's all day long. -Full-time nursing student until December 2025. I love all dogs. It brings me so much joy and happiness to care for your pets. Not only do we go on plenty of walks, and play, but I can also provide obedience training. If there are specific training needs you require, please let me know and we can work on whatever you need. Prices on Rover reflect basic boarding and walking. If additional services such as training are requested, those come at a higher fee, and we can discuss those based on the individual needs of your pet! It's tough having to board your pet or not have time for a walk, and while I have the time, I'd love to be of service. First and foremost, I offer a calm, safe, and fun environment. I'm currently a full-time Nursing student. I have a son born 2012. Plenty of time to walk and care for your pets and have the skill set and training to make your pets as happy and comfortable as possible. I personally enjoy long walks as well :) A typical day for dog boarding includes 2 short walks ( about 15-20min ) and 1 long walk ( 45-90min ) The longer walk includes play time, dog park if applicable, etc. My days average between 17,000-20,000 steps. I have three levels in my home, all wood floors and furniture covers. Doggo's that come for boarding will be in a big livingroom on the main floor. We have a small fenced patio. Fenced grassy area behind the patio for play and potty breaks. I have water and food bowls already & plenty of doggie toys. Please bring your dog's bed or a blanket with your' homes smell. It helps with comfort and anxiety levels for the dogs. 🐕🐶🐩

About: I have worked in the veterinary field for 10 years, and have extensive experience working with pets, dosing/giving medications, and generally caring for all critters- from the furry ones, to the scaly ones. I am extremely confident in my abilities to care for and handle all pet care needs. I am working full time M-F until 5:00pm, however, I am available in the evenings. On weekends I am completely available both mornings and evenings. I have a high-fenced yard with lots of open spaces for running around and playing. I live on a street with a cul-de-sac and little amounts of car traffic.

13. Ashley O.
“Ashley was amazing to my three cats! She really went above what was expected of her to take care of them and they all seemed to really like her. Ashley was also very communicative and timely which I appreciate. I will definitely be booking with Ashley for all my trips coming up!”

An active dog does the heart right! I can easily crate your dog if needed. I can take them to the dog park for much need exercise.

15. Matt H.
“Matt did a wonderful job watching our elderly kitty Felipe! His check-in’s were always extremely thorough with lots of pictures of our girl! He was always on time to check on her and did a great job giving Felipe her probiotic every night. He even went the extra mile as to sit and stay with her when she wasn’t feeling too social to make sure her food settled alright, which meant the world to us because our baby has a sensitive tummy. When she did have a tummy issue and threw up, Matt was sure to notify us immediately and clean up throughly. Felipe is very wary of new people usually, but she warmed up to Matt straight away, which is a testament to how great of a human he is!”
16. Justine H.
“She is caring and reliable.”
17. Heaven C.
“Heaven was incredible. So tender and kind to our pup. Always played with her outside for every visit. Gave great updates and photos while away. Definitely re-booking with her for our future vacations.”
18. Sydney L.
“I believe Sydney will be an amazing pet giver. She is the most go getter, responsible person I know. When she does something she gives it her all and succeeds. Sydney has a dog of her own that she treats with a big,selfless heart so I know for a fact she’ll over achieve at being a caregiver for other pets.”
19. Katherine F.
“Kathy did a drop-in with our pup and we could not be any happier! She was so sweet with him, and sent us plenty of pictures. We felt very comfortable with her and our pup loved her! We definitely recommend!”
20. AngieLucy S.
“Angie has walked my dog a few times and has done an amazing job! I trust her and feel comfortable leaving my Rottweiler puppy with her.”
