“Lee was SO sweet and took great care of my dog for a couple of days. She sent regular pupdates and was really responsive. I was nervous because my dog doesn’t spend much time with other dogs at all and Lee was willing to do a meet and greet and we let the dogs meet and get acclimated to the space a few days before her actual stay. Can’t say thank you enough and would definitely rebook in the future!”
“Great experience boarding our pup with Karen. It is difficult to find someone you can trust with taking care of your pup where you will be comfortable they will make the right decisions if anything unexpected arises. We are glad we spent the time to find and board with Karen.”
“Megan and Jenny exceeded our expectations by providing daily updates and of course superb care for Turbo. I could tell Turbo enjoyed the environment and interactions with Megan and Jenny. High recommended!”
“Alexandra was an incredible pet sitter for my almost 3-year-old mini bull terrier. Alexandra is a clear communicator, proactive, kind, responsible, attentive, and loves animals. My dog stayed with Alexandra and her two kiddos for 5 days/nights, and I was able to fully enjoy my vacation because of Alexandra's excellent communication. She kept me updated and texted me each day before I had a chance to worry about anything (after all, she was caring for my fur baby!). I felt at ease knowing that my pup was in loving and attentive hands, and I could text any time I felt the need. My dog is super friendly and also has some behavior quirks. She can get overexcited, and Alexandra had no problem following all the care instructions. She noticed my dog's comfort or discomfort and ensured she got what she needed. When I picked up my pup, she was quite content and even gave Alexandra a little lick goodbye, which told me even more about the care Alexandra and her family gave my little one. So many thanks, and I will definitely book again!!”
“Her and her partner are excellent they took my pup in and she was so happy playing with their pups thank you guys and if I need people to watch my do I will always request yall.”
“Andrea is wonderful! She’s so kind and caring with my little dog. He wasn’t feeling 100% when I dropped him off. She took extra good care of him, made sure he got plenty of rest, and sent me lots of updates and photos. Excellent experience and I will definitely call on her again. Thanks!!!”
“Mary was incredibly communicative, attentive, and loving with our senior pup. Our dog came back in such a happy mood - I can really tell he had a wonderful time with her. Would recommend Mary to anyone and would definitely book with her again!”
“Kristen and Ryan were very welcoming of our pup! They were understanding of her nuances and helped her adjust to a new environment fast. They have a nice spacious home with a big backyard that our dog loved relaxing in. Kristen and Ryan were very communicative throughout the stay and sent daily updates with photos. 100% recommend!”
“Words can not express how amazing Eiko is as as a host. I had an emergency while out of the country and she stepped in to provide service at a moment’s notice. I can’t recommend her enough.”
“Kelly was the best sitter that I could ask for! She went above and beyond taking care of Tori and communicating with us how Tori is doing during our whole trip. I was so relieved during the trip and did not worry at all during the travel. Kelly probably took better care of Tori than myself haha. Thank you again Kelly for all the help taking care of our doggy and Tori will be looking forward for another pawsome vacation next time when we are out of town!”
“Mariola provided a kind a loving home for our dogs’ first overnight with her. She also provided us with some useful insights into their behavior. She was a clear and easy communicator throughout the process.”
“Vanessa was so kind and careful with our pup Gumbo! We were extra nervous because we had to leave him with her for two weeks while he recovered from an injury. Following our vet’s instructions, she gave him his meds, restricted his activity, carried him up and down the stairs, and provided so much loving care. And she sent us lots of updates! Her pup Robin is so sweet too. We’re looking forward to Gumbo’s next stay with them.”
“Lilly was wonderful with our dogs :) she even made the best of a medicine drama with our little one. I would definitely recommend Lilly to others.”
“Isaac and Jordan were amazing. They sent a good amount of updates and made sure Nemo felt right at home. I look forward to having them watch Nemo again!”
“Jeff and Beth were wonderful pug sitters. We got lots of updates and photos on his stay for 3 nights. It looked like he got a lot of attention. Would book again!”
“Albina was fantastic— she took care of our dog like he was her own! Our dog tagged along on little weekend adventures to parks, farmer’s markets, a neighborhood potluck, received lots of snuggles and went on many long walks; all things he loves to do. Albina sent us updates and photos daily, and was very responsive and accommodating with drop-off and pick-up times. Ultimately, I know my dog had the best time with Albina because he immediately snuggled up with us and fell asleep once we got home 🩷 We look forward to booking with Albina again for our next trip!”
“Tiffany and Lauren took excellent care of our special needs Frenchie, Ruby! They provided frequent updates and cute photos! Ruby didn’t want to leave!”
“Rachel is a terrific dog sitter! She is very responsive and communicative, and my dog had a great time with her and her dog. I appreciated the photos and videos of their beautiful hikes and play time.”
About: I’m a Fear Free Certified Professional, currently studying animal behavior. I’ve been running my own home based doggy daycare and boarding house for four years. My care is crate-free (unless that's what your pup's preferred at-home routine is,) with regular group outings to trails and the beach. I live in a two level home where the entire downstairs and fenced backyard are just for the dogs! It’s colorfully set up as the coolest doggie social club, but the pups are welcome throughout both levels of the home. They are never forcibly isolated and almost always prefer to be close to wherever I am. I keep my client list small and personal—almost all of my dogs have been with me for years. I don’t aim to pack the house; I aim to give the best experience possible for every dog and human involved. Even when clients start as one-offs, they usually stick around—because I strive to be a resource for dogs and their families. That’s why I call this place a home away from home. If you're interested, I invite you to come by for a meet and greet—see the space, meet me, and let me meet your little one. I look forward to being your dog’s new best friend! Canine care is my daily life. The dogs are with me throughout the day—whether we’re in the yard, around the house, or out on a trail. I structure my routine around their needs, with group outings, downtime, and a consistent rhythm. If my personal life calls me away, I have an amazing assistant Alaina who steps in. She also co-runs the daycare! I focus on keeping things consistent, calm, fun, and full of bonding—play, rest, outdoor time, and enrichment are all part of the daily rhythm. Outside of daycare hours, the space functions as our home too, so dogs experience a relaxed, real-life environment, not a facility. I send updates, pictures, and videos throughout the day.

Aimee E.
“I truly cannot say enough good things about Aimee. We met her through Rover when our dog Zoe was a puppy, and over the last few years, she has become a part of Zoe's family. Aimee watches Zoe for both daycare and boarding. Aimee brings a lot of fun (beach trips!), stimulation (toys, a doggie pool!), training, and most importantly, a ton of love and care to Zoe's life. It's clear that Aimee is passionate about dogs, and really takes the time to get to know each pup - their personalities, quirks, and needs. She also has excellent judgment. For example, when Zoe was in her care while we were out of the country, Aimee noticed that Zoe wasn't acting like herself and ended up taking her to the vet on our behalf and updated us frequently. We always feel like Zoe is in good hands while in Aimee's care. She has has excellent communication and we also love the videos and photos she sends throughout the day. I HIGHLY recommend Aimee for both boarding and daycare. She is a gem and we feel lucky to have her!”

Grand Lake dog parents share their Rover experiences
Chukwuebukah was a great 10/10 dog-sitter! He provided frequent updates and asked the right questions that reassured me my dog was in good hands while I was away. Would absolutely recommend!
Lee was very hands on and helpful keeping us aware of daily routines, which was good with a former shelter pup and a nervous first time dog owner. Dogs in Lee's care are obviously a top priority, and her approach made me confident that my doggie was in good hands. We will definitely be back when we need help again!
Vanessa was so kind and careful with our pup Gumbo! We were extra nervous because we had to leave him with her for two weeks while he recovered from an injury. Following our vet’s instructions, she gave him his meds, restricted his activity, carried him up and down the stairs, and provided so much loving care. And she sent us lots of updates! Her pup Robin is so sweet too. We’re looking forward to Gumbo’s next stay with them.
Lauren was so wonderful! She watched our pup for a few days and kept us updated. She even picked her up from our house which really helped us out! We will definitely be using her again 💙💙
This was our first boarding experience with Claudio for our small shy dog Ringo. Claudio took great care of Ringo and kept us updated on how he was doing. It was a great experience and we look forward to boarding with Claudio in the future.
Rohun and family provided the best care for my Bernese mountain dog! Her needs have changed since she is getting older, and she is on a medication schedule. I felt very confident and reassured knowing how responsible and responsive Rohun is to my requests and my dog’s needs. I will continue to book this pet sitter with complete confidence.
Christa agreed to take Marley somewhat last minute. I appreciated the flexibility. She was a great host and cared well for Marley. We can’t wait to utilize her again.
Claudia’s place was a wonderful home away from home for our little guy! He came home happy and healthy—and I loved the photos, videos, and messages she sent during our time away. I also really appreciated how easy communication was throughout our dog’s stay. Thank you, Claudia and family!
Madeleine was great! She sent me photos and updates every day and it was clear that she was taking great care of my dog and really cared for her well being. Very much recommend!
A great first overnight with Lily! Frankie was so excited to see her at drop off. We are so grateful for her continued patience and understanding of his training progress and are so thankful Frankie has found someone to great to watch him sometimes!
I can’t say enough great things about Xiajun! They took such amazing care of my dog while I was away—keeping him well-fed, walked, and most importantly, happy. Their flexibility was a huge help with my unpredictable schedule, and they were incredibly considerate, always checking in and making sure my pup’s needs came first. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. Highly recommend Xiajun to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter!
We were so lucky to find Eiko to help watch our senior doggy while we were away! She provided us with regular updates/photos and we could tell our doggy was in good hands. Thank you Eiko!
My dog Winston had a lovely stay with Tiffany & Lauren! Winston is a bit of a grumpy old man and a real couch potato, and he got along really well with their dog Guapa. I wanted him to have a mellow place to stay while I was away, and their place was the perfect getaway. They sent some pictures of him throughout the stay, which I really loved!
Misa was an extremely warm and kind person. I instantly felt comfortable leaving my 13-year-old chihuahua with her for the weekend. Misa sent updates and photos that provided additional peace of mind. She was also timely and responsive and made the whole process simple. I highly recommend her as a caretaker for your pet.
A wonderful caregiver for our senior dog and she really cares about their well being. Photos and updates were sent every day.
Danielle and Joel are the best. I always feel comfortable with Chili staying with them on longer stays. He loves them and their dogs too!
Catherine took such great care of Cleo over the weekend! She sent many updates and pictures. I’ll definitely reach out to her next time I need a sitter :)
This is our dog’s second time with Denise. He likes her a lot - he gets the walks that he loves and we get a photo every day. He will definitely be staying with Denise next time we travel!
Christine has been reliable, communicative, and trustworthy, though the best recommendation is that the dogs wag their little tails when they see her! Even my tiny, grumpy boy wags his tail, and he usually hates everyone 😆
Jiayi was such a thoughtful and responsible sitter! She set up a meet-and-greet ahead of time to make sure her pup Pi Dou and Sigrun got along, and even jotted down notes on everything I mentioned. During the stay, she sent tons of cute photos, videos, and detailed updates every day, which I really appreciated. Her place is super well-equipped, and Pidou is such a sweet and friendly dog. I was so happy to see them played all day and getting tired out thru the videos. When my car broke down the day I went to pick up Sigrun, Jiayi even offered to drive me home. Truly went above and beyond. So grateful for her care!
