About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 15. I walked and watched my neighbors, friends and family’s dogs when they went on vacation or during the day for potty breaks. I love dogs and have always had a dog of my own. I will treat your dog as if they were mine. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I walk my dog every 3 hours with a long walk in the morning and evening. I walk my dog very frequently, with a long walk in the morning and evening adding up to 5 miles a day. I can also take your dog to the dog park if you and your dog are comfortable with the dog park. I can crate and give medicine if necessary.
“Camille is so friendly and nice with Mermer and takes the cutest pictures! She’s very communicative throughout the day, which is much needed to pull me thru work lol! Mer and I both love her so much.”

I have known her for 8 years, and during that time, I have witnessed her love for animals, strong sense of responsibility, and natural ability to connect with many different pets. Beyond being great with animals, Veronica is also punctual, trustworthy, and respectful of other people’s property—traits that are especially important in a role that often involves entering clients’ homes or handling keys. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog with the same care and attention they would their own, please contact Veronica.”

Hillcrest dog parents share their Rover experiences
We recently boarded our pup Maui with Sophia, and I cannot say enough great things about the experience. This was our very first time using Rover and also the first time Maui had been away from us—so as first-time pet parents, we were a bit nervous. But from the moment we met Sophia, all of that anxiety melted away. Sophia was incredibly warm, patient, and understanding, especially knowing this was all new for both us and Maui. She took the time to answer all our questions, kept us updated with thoughtful notes and photos, and was always responsive whenever we checked in. It meant so much to see Maui looking happy and relaxed in every update. We could tell he felt safe, comfortable, and cared for in her home. What really stood out was the attention to detail—Sophia made sure Maui’s routine was followed, monitored his behaviors closely, and made adjustments based on his comfort level. You can tell she genuinely loves animals and takes her role seriously. Thank you, Sophia, for taking such amazing care of Maui and treating him like one of your own. We are so grateful for your patience, compassion, and professionalism. You made our first experience with pet boarding a wonderful one—and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with you again!
Simba has stayed with Celia 5 or more times. He loves it there every time we turn on the street he gets excited! She is really kind and responds back in a timely manner. When I vacation I’m stress free when he’s there. Celia keeps me updated with pics and messages as well. I highly recommend her services.
Couldn't have had a better person to look after our dog Stevie. During the visit, Stevie had a red paw and Brianne noticed and let us know, allowing us to send over ointment that would help. It's this type of care you want from those looking after your loved ones. Highly recommended A++
Our pup had an amazing week’s long stay at Hollyanne and Donovan’s place. Their dogs, Bubba and Emmy, are super sweet and welcomed our little guy into their pack. We enjoyed getting frequent updates with fun pics and videos of our pup playing and snuggling. It made our travels easier knowing he was in such a caring and fun environment. We’ll definitely be taking him back on our next trip!
Carolina has been the absolute best Rover experience we’ve had for Luffy! :) She was very sweet and understanding of his needs, especially with his anxiety/increased reactivity from a recent dog attack experience. We received daily photos of his adventures with Carolina on walks and enjoying spending time in her home. We cannot thank her enough for taking such wonderful care of our little guy, and look forward to having her take care of him for any future trips! Thank you Carolina!!! :)
