“My dogs had a great time with Guyeon and Thomas. They we amazing and kept me updated throughout the day. They even took lovely pictures of my dogs. I’ll definitely come back :)”
“The only people we’ve ever trusted to watch our dog outside of our house! Stanislava has watched our German shepherd many times now & he absolutely loves going to their house! Rocky gets so excited when we even mention their dogs names haha! Can’t recommend enough!!”
“Yupee has a very calming sense about her which made me feel very much at ease to leave my dog under her care. Her own doggies are incredibly sweet and friendly. I really appreciated the updates and photo. I will for certain use her again.”
“Missy is a new member of Roxanne's small dog posse. Roxanne's home is thoughtfully arranged to give the pups plenty of room to roam while staying safe. Roxanne has a lovely yard, including a grassy area. This is hard to find in Santa Monica. Missy had a wonderful time. Roxanne sent photos of a very happy pup.”
“Soooo glad I found Lydia and Benji to care for my pup! They’re very communicative, and you can instantly tell they’re both big animal lovers and love looking after them. 10/10 rover experience!!”
“Andy was great. Sadie loved him right from the beginning. I don't take that for granted. She doesn't like just everyone. But he was very confident with her, and she trusted him. Thank you, Andy!”
“April took wonderful care of Toby during his day with her! She made sure he got plenty of walks and sent tons of adorable photos to keep me updated. She’s incredibly friendly, easy to communicate with, and very responsive. I could tell Toby had a great time. I would definitely trust and recommend April!”
“I felt confident leaving my 3 furkids, Bella, Tina and Phoebe with Laura for an afternoon dog sitting so they could become familiar with their comfortable home for an upcoming 7-day vacation stay. They will be eager to return soon.”
“Jill is absolutely wonderful to work with!! Exceptionally communicative and responsive, and my senior, special needs dog (who generally is timid with new people) actually ran towards her the moment he saw her, as if he’d known her forever. On a very challenging day, Jill was flexible, helpful , sent lots of adorable pics showing just how happy my boy was, and kept him happy and in great spirits as if he were her own. I would not hesitate to work with her again. Can’t say enough good things.”
“Vist #2. I'm very grateful, I know its not the easiest with an over attached old dog! I thought is was so sweet when Domino went up to Jinyen before leaving and licked her hand quickly. She is a dog that does not warm to new people immediately so it was a big seal of approval and I know that she was happy! I LOVED the photo updates.”
“Aaron is the best sitter! He’s especially conscientious of little dogs and their special needs and quirks. He’s super nice, responsive and sends the best picture updates. He’ll be the first Rover who I ever leave my dog with overnight! If you’re reading this, consider this your endorsement from your friend who’s obsessed with their dog and afraid to leave them with anybody- Aaron is the move!”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs, cats, and horses. I’ve boarded dogs for friends over the years and always treat pets like family. I work from home, so your dog will get plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. I have a 9-month-old Pomsky who’s super friendly and loves other dogs. He is fully vaccinated. I work from home, so I can give your pet plenty of attention throughout the day. There are great trails just 200 feet from my front door, and the fenced backyard is perfect for playing fetch or letting them run around. I am constantly home to make sure they are doing ok. There are plenty of toys for them to play with as well as treats.
About: Hi! I’m Sarah, and animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up riding horses, cuddling cats, and since I was 21, I’ve always had a dog by my side. Chihuahuas hold a special place in my heart, especially the feisty ones! Over the years, I’ve fostered dogs through multiple local rescue organizations and have experience with pups of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I have hands-on experience caring for senior dogs, including administering medications and making sure they’re comfortable and cared for with love and patience. Whether your pet is high-energy, extra snuggly, or needs a little extra TLC, I’ll treat them like family. I’d love to get to know your best friend and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well looked after while you’re away ❤️ I’m an addiction counselor and currently work part-time as an independent contractor, which means I have a flexible schedule and spend most of my time at home. My fiancé also works from home, so there’s almost always someone here to give your pet attention, care, and company throughout the day. We have a fenced backyard with grass and a pool, perfect for supervised outdoor play and sunbathing. We love taking dogs on strolls around our quiet neighborhood or letting them enjoy some yard time (always with someone keeping an eye on them, of course). We also have two small terrier mixes—a sweet mom and her daughter—who we originally fostered through a local rescue (we took in the whole litter!) and ended up adopting. They’re friendly, playful, and used to sharing their space with new furry friends.
About: Hi! I’m Mari. I grew up surrounded by house and farm animals. I even went to vet school for a few years and I’ve been around animals ever since! I absolutely love all kinds of animals and currently live with my own dog in the canyon. With experience handling both small and large animals, I’m here to make sure your pets have a fantastic time while you’re away. Happy to give them the care and attention they deserve! I’m currently not working anywhere else, which means I have plenty of free time and a super flexible schedule to dedicate to caring for your pets! I have a fenced deck at my house that offers plenty of sunlight and outdoor space. While I don’t have a backyard, I’m surrounded by beautiful natural areas perfect for walks and exploring! I also have a crate at home and have spent most of my dog’s life training her to feel comfortable and happy in it. Just let me know how I can best accommodate your pet’s needs—I’m here to make them feel right at home!

“Sarah is incredibly kind, loving, sweet and compassionate to all (people and animals)! Sarah is a life long animal lover and has always provided home, care and shelter to dogs in need. We've been blessed to have had Sarah in our, and our boxers lives for the last ten years - we never hesitated for a moment to leave Indie (the winiest dog in the world) or Sparky (Mr. difficult and independent) with Sarah - as she's capable of winning any dog's trust, keeping them in line - and well cared for! After the first stay, they were ALWAYS delighted to go back to her. I've personally seen every dog she's taken in - flourish under her care (no matter their history). Dogs quickly love and respect her. I can not recommend Sarah highly enough...no words can fully encapsulate her magical & powerful ways with our four legged companions / family members.”
Marianna L.
“Marianna is attentive and trustworthy. As a dog owner herself, she creates such a comforting environment for animals. She's kind, thoughtful, and always goes the extra mile to make sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved.”
