“I was so happy to have found Maria and Nayibe for my small Poo-Chon. They have a wonderful, completely dog friendly home and a beautiful fully fenced back yard. They seem to specialize in small dogs and my guy just loved running and playing in their back yard. Maria sent me daily updates and lots of photos and videos. I will definitely use Maria and Nayibe in the future for boarding my little dog.”


“Yolanda is our family’s go-to sitter and we wouldn’t want it any other way. We get plenty of pictures and updates, while also given our space to enjoy a trip away and know our pup is happy and safe.”


“Michelle was so awesome! Communicative, kind, and so sweet to my little guy! Stuart definitely enjoyed his stay and I felt great knowing he was in good hands :)”


“Katharine and Michael were amazing caretakers for our dog Kami! Right from the start they were very communicative and flexible for us and our dog. They sent updates on their adventures, and made Kami feel right at home. I would recommend them to everyone, and we will definitely have Kami stay with them again in the future.”


“Ashlee was great with my dog, Sariah! She sent updates with pictures throughout the weekend, which was much appreciated. We will definitely book her again when we need a sitter.”


“Rebecca did a great job with our Corgi. He loves to play and her pups and other pup guests were a good treat for him. She sent many pictures and updates during our short trip. Very thankful we found Rebecca!”


“I cannot sing Amy's praises enough. You know your dog is in good care when you come to pick him up and he turns around to look at her and he hesitates to leave it! We love that she treats him just as well as we treat him and like another member of her family.”


“Lillian was so great with my Gus. I got lots of videos & photos during his stay to reassure me that my pup was doing well. She took him to dog parks & on a hike & I could tell he was having a blast! Lillian was a great communicator with me and I would definitely book again!”


“Rhonda did a great job watching Lucy over night. When I came to pick Lucy up, she was very happy and contented. I would definitely have Lucy stay with Rhonda in the future.”



“Daniel and Holly took excellent care of Brooklyn for the weekend. Sometimes she takes a bit to get comfortable around other dogs but they allow each dog to determine how much or little contact they get with other pups. That was very reassuring. I would feel very comfortable boarding Brooklyn with them again.”


“Sarah was wonderful. She was able to take Flip in on short notice and took great care of him, providing is with great information while we were away.”


“The best rover user we’ve had the pleasure of meeting. Plenty of walks, photos, and updates throughout. We will certainly be using Karen again.”


“This was my first time using Rover and I couldn’t be happier with Dawn and her husband! They were so welcoming at our Meet and Greet and made us feel very comfortable leaving Zeke overnight. She sent us updates and pictures of him having a blast in their back yard, so I could tell Zeke was having a great time. I highly recommend Dawn and will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”


“Mary took excellent care of my dog Blizzard when I was gone for a long weekend. He can take a while to get comfortable in a new place, and she was very patient and understanding. He was very cuddly with her when I picked him up, so I know he felt cared for!”


“Megan and Richard were great! Very communicative, we received updates at least once a day and kimchi seemed to really enjoy her stay. Would definitely recommend their services!”


“We were very lucky in find Alberto and Chance through the Rover app before our vacation time overseas. They were wonderful the entire time, sending us updates with videos and pictures, and even agreed on a short video call for us to see our fluffy puppy. They were amazing and took very good care of our furry son. We highly recommend them and will for sure be requesting them to care again of our furry son in the future. Thank you so much, Alberto and Chance!”



“Blythe is wonderful! She took great care of my dog. Very good communication and I appreciate her flexibility. Definitely will book with her again!”


“Sebastian had a wonderful stay and got plenty of hugs and cuddles. He will definitely be back. A++”

About: I have spent my whole life surrounded by family dogs (mainly the bigger breeds). I got my first dog on my own almost 5 years ago and my 2nd last year. I have seen and cared for dogs in all stages. I do work full time with a flexible hourly schedule and can help with care as needed. Currently I work 9-5 and I walk my boys every night and can make most scheduling needs work! I have a fenced in yard and 2 friendly dogs myself. While I’m home the dogs can all be interactive together in and outside, while also being walked. While away from home and for sleeping dogs will be crated for safety purposes (never longer than 8 hrs for work)

“Overall Soni did a great job! She was super accessible, prompt, and our kitties did great with her. They are anxious and still getting used to each other after we moved in together. They both loved her (huge green flag for anxious kitties!). Bonus that she works remotely and was able to spend extra time here which helped them to not have the attachment issues like they have before. We also had to make a quick request for her to go by the apartment and she went over ASAP after she saw the message which we really appreciated! Big thank you to Soni!”
