“Lynn & Marty took great care of Lillie. When we arrived to pick her up, Lillie was happy & relaxed. L&M were communicative while we were away, took and sent excellent photos.”
“Jeanine was very willing to have a pre-stay meet up to introduce our dogs and give my dog the opportunity check out her place. She sent an update and photo of Shiloh's stay even though I didn't specifically request one. My dog's stay was just for one night, but I could tell she felt right at home and had a great time. ”
“Gurudatt and his family were amazing with our pup. They went on multiple walks per day and went to play at the park too. Their dog Bruno is super friendly and was a great play partner for our dog. They sent pictures and videos throughout the stay so I knew she was being well taken care of and happy.”
“Ema took great care of our dog. She's great at communication, and wanted to make sure our dog was comfortable. She was flexible with pickup and drop-off times. I loved the daily photos. So nice to take a trip and not worry about our smallest member of the family. Thank you, Ema!”
“Cara took very good care of our sweet Sunshine. She was kind and careful with our instructions on meals and medications. She sent great updates and photos, and we felt at ease being away from our little baby. Her home is a wonderful environment for dogs. Thank you Cara!”
“Kaitlyn was great with River! Super communicative and easy to work with and River seemed like he had a great time even amidst the heavy rains. We’ll definitely be reaching out next time we need someone to hang with River!”
“Lianne was amazing! I was able to leave my fur baby with her without having to worry about anything. She’s super sweet and reassuring, definitely a true dog person you can trust!”
“Vivian helped with a last minute request to watch our pup. She was really flexible with our changing needs and we were happy our dog stayed with her for a few hours while we visited the zoo. Very friendly and responsive.”

“Gail was a fantastic sitter and it gave us great peace of mind to leave our pup with someone like her. She took our dog to the dog park and the ranch and sent us adorable photos and videos each day. Our dog has been a nervous picky eater lately and it was exacerbated by the stress of being someplace new. Gail hand fed our dog and gave her treats and sardines to make sure she ate! She really went above and beyond and we are immensely grateful.”
“Haven and Mike were wonderful with our cat Gizmo. Super quick to respond to all my messages, and they helped Gizmo feel at home even though she was a little nervous at first. We would definitely book Haven and Mike again!”
“Jacqueline and Roland were wonderful with Remy. They were mindful of his needs and accommodated him beautifully. They sent me pictures to eliminate my anxiety and were always responsive. We had a great experience!”
“Wendy is really great with dogs! You can tell right away that she is such an animal lover and is the kindest person. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her watch my dog again. Thank you, Wendy!”
“Kaitlin and her family were so wonderful with my dog, Charley! They took him on walks and to the beach, and sent me photos every day. I felt comfortable leaving him and her house, and know Charley had a great time!! He slept for an entire day after his 2 night stay. Thank you, Kaitlin!!”
“Damian was a wonderful friend to George ! I would definitely recommend him if you need someone to take care of your pet. We haven’t left George with many new people and our dog seemed very happy and relaxed in Damian’s care. George had a few special needs and Damian had no problem making sure they were met. He also made it a point to take him out everyday to one of his favorite nature walks (the Douglas Preserve) where he could interact with other dogs, which George loves. Damian has a dog of his own so you can tell he has a love and intuitive understanding for our furry friends. He went above and beyond in care for our dog George! Thanks Damian.”
“Natalia is officially our go to sitter. This was our 1st time leaving our super anxious dog with a stranger. We were given at least daily photo updates and it also looked like she took him to the beach and dog park (Krypto looked really happy in the photo). Natalia had everything already, so next time we go on vacation we just need to provide Krypto's food and supplements. She purchased a toy for him, has a bed, water/food bowls, crate...so I highly recommend Natalia”

“We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Lauren! Our 8 year-old Golden was so clearly well cared for and happy during her stay with their younger Phoebe. Lauren was responsive, attentive, and kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us real peace of mind. It’s obvious she truly loves dogs and treats them like their own. We look forward to using her services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, responsible dog sitter.”

Wendy is incredible! I can’t imagine a more wonderful person to care for our pup. Bucky is a big, energetic dog and she was so thoughtful, caring, and a great leader for him. Gave wonderful pupdates and really put my mind at ease for the whole weekend that we were at our family event. We are forever grateful.
My active and playful cattle dog had a wonderful time with Lynn and Marty. They made her feel at home immediately - opening up a treasure trove of doggie toys and giving her a warm and cosy spot to chill out when she needed it. On a very rainy weekend they made sure she still got to run around in their big and safe yard with ball throwing and fetch. At night they followed her usual routine at bedtime with great success -a good nights sleep had by all. I am very happy I have found Lynn and Marty as a home away from home for Darling.

I cannot thank Tim enough for the love and attention he gave my dog while I was away for 3 days. I took Darling (my Australian Cattle Dog) to meet and greet Tim twice before leaving her with him. I knew immediately that Tim would do everything possible to make her feel at home with him. He had treats ready for her and took a relaxed attitude to her liking his sofa. Darling is an exuberant dog and needs a lot of human interaction and I know Tim provided this while I was gone. I felt happy on my trip knowing that Darling was safe with Tim. Thank you Tim!
We were looking for a dog sitter on a visit to SB and were thrilled to see Eve on Rover. We knew Eve from many years ago and knew that we could trust her to care for our dog, Daphne. Daphne is not a beginner dog. She is a guarding/working breed mix. Once you earn her trust, she is an absolute sweetheart. But, you have to do the work to earn her trust. We scheduled a meet & greet with Eve. She accommodated us rescheduling it after Daphne got skunked, twice, on our trip. At the meet & greet, Eve took time to sit down with us, understand Daphne, give her time to adjust, feed her treats, take her for a walk, hang out with her for several hours while we left for dinner, and ultimately earn her trust. Daphne stayed with Eve for three days over Labor Day weekend. She had a great time. Eve sent regular photo updates. Daphne loved playing with Eve's dog, Penny. And, when we came to pick her up, Daphne seemed so happy and at ease. Eve gets our highest recommendation and I hope that Daphne will get the opportunity to visit on future SB trips.
Erika took excellent care of our senior dog, who is 19 years old. She had a video meeting with us beforehand and understood his needs. She was very communicative through the Rover app before and during the boarding ,and sent us photos and videos of our dog. We were worry free attending an event in Santa Barbara, because we knew our dog was in good hands with Erika. We highly recommend Erika!
Wonderful family and their dog Stella provided a safe, fun, loving experience for Sage while we took an extended adventure in the South Pacific. Kept me informed of Sage’s activities and behavior in their home with photos, videos, and emails. Sage was happy to see me when I returned but clearly reluctant to leave her new family. I highly recommend this Rover family.
