Michelle always does a great job sitting my dog. I had a last minute trip planned and she was able to accommodate. I even had a delayed trip back home and she was very flexible which I appreciated.

Aaren & Jordon are truly wonderful puppy sitters! Throughout my pup’s stay with them, I received multiple updates during the day of the fun activities they were getting into. We were put at ease and loved to see our girl so happy while we were apart! We are thankful for them for welcoming our pup into their home with open arms.

Hilary took wonderful care of Oakland during my five-night trip! Oakland loved running in the yard, and Hilary kept me at ease with regular updates. I felt completely comfortable leaving her in her care and will definitely reach out to her again for future dog-sitting needs!

Alex is the best! Our dog was well cared for, had access to Alex’s backyard, and socialized with other well behaved rover pups staying at her house! She came back looking loved and well cared for! Alex sent us so many photos and we loved having updates throughout our dogs stay! Would recommend Alex to anyone!

During July 4th, we planned on going out of town for the weekend. We were impressed with Julie's rover profile and decided to contact her. We were able to meet up with her twice, once so that she could see our dog, and the second time so that Mozzie could check out her place. This was the first time since adopting him over a year ago that were had ever boarded him somewhere, so we were understandably nervous about it, but Julie proved to be a great sitter. She sent us status updates and pictures while we were away, so that we could know what Mozzie was up to. When we came to pick him up, she also helped us with tips and ideas on how to help Mozzie socialize with other dogs. We could definitely tell that Mozzie was in good hands. Definitely recommended!

Matt is awesome!! He sends thorough updates multiple times a day with lots of pictures and will provide you with peace of mind that your pup is being cared for and enjoying themselves! His home is extremely well set up for safety and surveillance as well, so you are able to leave any concerns at the door!

About: I love dogs so much and my experiences with them are endless! I have been around dogs and cats since a young age, senior-puppies-kittens. I have raised and trained a puppy before, dog sat many dogs in the past and have experience administering medication. 🐕 I am majoring in psychology to go into animal behavioral therapy, I’m knowledgeable on animal language and understand their boundaries. So I guarantee I will have your dog/cat feeling safe, loved, and cared for easily! 💛 I am currently free most days if not all of the week. I have classes on Wednesdays and Thursdays, but still may be relatively available these days. The best available times for me for drop-in/day-time care range from 8am-8pm each day. At my home I have a small fenced in backyard and I live in a walkable area nearby a park for walks and zoomies. Indoors or outdoors I will make sure your pet stays safe and entertained. Whether it’s brushies or playtime I can care for them in these ways in your home or in mine. 🐈‍⬛

Excellent sitter. She was so professional and caring. She walked him she played with him. I got pictures everyday. Bruno got along with her baby. They became good buddies. I can tell Bruno miss Snoop her pet. When I have to go away again I definitely want Myrna to be the sitter. You will feel good about leaving your pet with her

Michaela was absolutely fantastic with Zephyr and it was so clear he had such a great time with her this weekend! During our stay she sent tons of pictures to keep me updated on what Zeph was up to and was very communicative throughout the whole rover process. We met ahead of time during a meet and greet where Zeph got tons of time to get to know his new aunt Michaela and vice versa and it was clear to see how great she was with handling him from the start. We will absolutely be back and are so happy to have met you! Thanks so much for taking such great care of Zephyr!

About: I bring over 10 years of dog care experience and 5+ years managing a stable multi-dog group. I carefully watch body language, work to prevent issues early, and keep feeding routines steady so each dog feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I’m comfortable working with multi-dog households, different energy levels, and group dynamics. My focus is creating a safe, structured, and positive environment where dogs can socialize, play, and settle comfortably. Pet care is part of my daily life. I’m home throughout the day and organize my schedule around the dogs in my care so they receive consistent supervision, play, and individual attention. I have a fenced backyard and fenced front yard, giving dogs safe space to move, explore, and play. Inside, I provide a dedicated dog room and crates for dogs of all sizes, creating a comfortable and secure place to rest when needed. Dogs are thoughtfully grouped by temperament, with attention to proper rest rotation and consistent feeding routines to support balance and comfort. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I focus on safety, supervision, and each dog’s individual needs. I follow established routines closely, maintain a steady and secure environment, and make sure every dog feels comfortable, cared for, and at ease.

We received pictures multiple times a day and Cyndi went above and beyond to make sure Sully was comfortable and felt safe, even during all of the thunder storms during his stay. We can’t recommend Cyndi enough, she is fantastic!!

Raye is the best! She was very responsive and kept me frequently updated. She took Hugo everywhere, the park, drive in cinema, on a hike. I think now I’ll have to level up my play game. Also, she was pretty flexible, my flight was canceled and that was very helpful.

Joanna was warm, friendly, and easy to communicate with from the start. She’s clearly a dog lover and has two dogs of her own, which made me feel comfortable leaving Rocco in her care. Communication was smooth throughout the stay. Rocco came home healthy, clean, and in good spirits. His personality was the same as usual, and he adjusted back easily. I appreciated the overall experience and would feel comfortable booking with her again.

Jakiya is SO lovely! Jakiya watched our young puppy, which was our first time leaving her. Jakiya was so attentive and very willing to follow all of our very specific puppy needs/details. She was an incredible communicator, sending frequent updates and pictures. Jakiya also went the extra mile for us when we had a last minute flight cancelation, helping us out and re-assuring us without any hesitations! She even went as far as to wash and pack up all of our puppy’s bedding and crate for a speedy hand off at pick up. I would 10/10 recommend her and will definitely be using her again for any future Rover needs!

Kevin and Cierra took such wonderful care of Goose while we were out of the country. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in a loving, attentive home. We especially appreciated the regular updates and all the sweet photos bc it made being away from him so much easier. Goose came home happy and relaxed, which says everything. We would absolutely work with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for thoughtful, reliable sitters!

You want your dogs at Franceska’s! Wow, great house and backyard. Their dogs are great and our dogs became great friends.

Really great people to work with. Will have them take care of our dogs again!
