“Thank you Tatiana and family for taking care of Cindy while we were out on a 5 day Cruise. You are amazing and i felt comfortable and at ease leaving our pet with you. Tatiana is a great sitter. She will treat your pet like her own family.”

“10/10 recommend. My pup looked like what are you doing here when I picked up. He loved his stay with Ashley. Normally when I come get him he’s hyperventilating and whinny. But Ashley took very good care of him cause he was all smiles. Thank u so much.”

“Had a great experience with Lissa. She was so great with Mac and was really good about providing updates to me. Mac was with Lissa and her family for a week and he seemed to really enjoy himself. She even was able to brush his teeth for me which was a huge help! She followed instructions precisely and was able to really engage with my dog in positive ways which included a lot of fetch and walks. Mac had some marking incidents and Lissa was very understand and kind about it. Mac and I are really looking forward to using Lissa again because it was absolutely fantastic. Thank you Lissa!”

“Nick and Cora were great with our chow chow. They took him for many walks and kept him company. They were great for me too, sending many pictures and texts to let me know how he was doing. Six stars!”

“Artem was incredible! Our other Rover sitter fell through at the last minute, and he willingly took in our pup that same day, so we could catch our flight on time! He was very responsive, and it was clear that he kept a safe and structured environment for the dogs. I would highly recommend him and will definitely call on him the next time we need our dog boarded. Thank you again, Artem!”

“This is my first time getting a dog sitter and Jenny really set the standard. She was very sweet to my dog. She even gave my dog Zoey a bandana that really added cuteness. I also wanna thank her for providing Zoey wet food coz i was not able to prepare a wet food in my dog’s bag. She really took good care of my dog. I appreciate that she sent pictures a lot and updating me. She is highly recommendable and I will be a repeat client of her in the future.”

“Pax has a wonderful time at Sylvia’s this was his first time staying over more than one night. Sylvia and family are patient and lovely. While he was happy to see us he definitely had a great time. 😊”

“Qing was amazing to our pup, she sent video and photo updates the whole stay to assure us our pet was well taken cared of. Highly recommend and we will use her again!”


“Taro had best time with Lori’s pup Ollie & other guest pups for 4 days stay. That even made me feel bad to pick him up! She gave him his ear medication too & his ear infection looks much better!”

“Gina is the best doggie mama for our little Lulu when we are away! She’s so sweet, has a beautiful backyard for Lulu to sunbathe in & gives her lots of attention & cuddles. I always know Lulu is safe & well taken care of by Gina while we are away.🥰”

“Elaine was amazing with our senior pup Bowie! She provided us with a lot of pictures and some videos of our Bowie dog while we were away and was very prompt at responding. Elaine is personable, reliable, and professional. We would recommend her to anyone looking to have their dog(s) looked after for any period of time.”

“Kevin and his family are the absolute best! Our dog loves his time with them, it’s great to never have to worry about him while we are gone knowing he’s having a great time!”

“Zaya was an exceptional pet sitter for Wally. He had a great time at her house and a great time with her and her other pets. We will definitely be back the next time I'm out of town! Thank you so much!!”

“She was absolutely amazing with Iroh. We were a little hesitant at first since we rarely ever leave him behind - this was just his second time boarding and the longest he's been away from us. Zahara did go above and beyond to keep him comfortable and happy during his stay with her and her family. We also requested for him to be the only dog to ease our minds and she happily accepted that request. She sent us daily updates of him with photos and each day we could see our little guy getting more and more comfortable. Thanks so much for showing our Iroh so much love and taking care of him while we were away. Will definitely keep you in mind for our future boarding needs!”

About: Hi, I’m Barbara, lifelong animal lover with over 20 years of caring for cats, birds, and now a pup of seven years. Our pup, Snowball joined our family as a puppy and is loving, sweet tempered, and enjoys meeting new friends. My husband and I work from home and do not leave dogs unattended whether at home or in the car so your pup will always be supervised and safe. Stay includes: - Space: A clean environment with a fenced backyard for exercise, roaming, and sunbathing. Indoors, there’s a quiet guest room for shy pups who prefer their own retreat. - Daily Routine: Two 30 minute walks each day and supervised backyard time. If you allow, we may include dog-friendly outings such as the park, beach, or dining. - Special Care: Since we have a 16lb pup, we understand boarding can be overwhelming at times. We only allow one small pup (20lbs or less) per stay unless there are multiple from the same home. - Requirements: Meet and Greet if you are sending me a booking request for the first time and proof of vaccination. I am at home full time so your pup will be well supervised and cared for during your travels. I do not leave dogs unattended and are available throughout the day to provide multiple potty breaks and play time outside. I have a fenced yard for your pup along with a friendly Chiweenie named Snowball. I can cater to the needs of your pet and allow the pups to spend time together or keep them separate if you prefer.

About: I grew up with dogs in the home all my life, including an extra large lab mix of my own who lived to be 14 years old (I still miss her). I have helped friends and family teach their dogs better behavior including how to have a productive walk and eliminating food agression. I currently have 2 medium dogs (a boy and a girl) I adopted from families who couldnt care for them anymore, and two cats (both girls). I only teach on Wednesdays in Santa Monica, otherwise I have the ability to be home all day for plenty of attention and walks. I have two dogs already, so caring for animals is part of my lifestyle already. My home is spacious and located in a neighborhood which has a lot of space to walk around. I am a very alert person when it comes to dogs' behavior and their body language so that I can ensure they are comfortable, and am able to remove them from a situation that might cause them to react negatively. There is plenty of water available and dogs get let out 3-4 times a day including a nice walk.
“Narumi was excellent with Mina while in her care. She gave very detailed updates with pictures and videos. We felt very peace of mind with Narumi and will definitely contact her again when we need to board Mina.”

Harbor City dog parents share their Rover experiences
My dog Mellie loves spending time with Hiromi. It had been a while since her last overnight stay and I knew that Mellie would be so excited to see her again. She immediately recognized where we were and ran straight towards Hiromi. Hiromi does an amazing job taking care of her, follows her routine and plays with her. I love seeing pictures of her having a good time and it gives me peace of mind anytime I’m away for a weekend or if I just need a day sitter, Hiromi is absolutely the best.

Danielle was so responsive, punctual and kind. Her space is clean, welcoming and safe. I really appreciated her communication throughout the stay, she sent pictures and Hutch was happy and energized when I picked him up. So grateful and will def be rebooking when in the South Bay :)

So glad I found Thomas on Rover! We left our pup with him for a whole week while we were on vacation. It was clear from pictures and messages that Thomas bonded with our little buddy and gave him special attention and excellent care. We’ll be coming back to Thomas again!

Dorle is absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of our dog while we were away. It was clear from the start that she truly loves animals and treats them like her own. She was attentive, responsible, and kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our dog instantly warmed up to her (which doesn’t happen often!) and came back happy, calm, and well cared for. Dorle went above and beyond, making sure walks, feedings, and playtime all stayed on schedule. We feel so lucky to have found someone so trustworthy and kind. Highly recommend Dorle to anyone looking for a loving, dependable dog sitter!
