“I couldn’t be more pleased with the care provided for my dog, Bruno! The communication was excellent throughout his stay, and I received frequent updates and pictures, which truly put my mind at ease. It was clear Bruno was happy and well cared for, and I never had to worry. Thank you for the exceptional service and for treating Bruno like family!”


“We were looking for a new sitter for our spoiled Chihuahuas...and we found a great one. They were well loved and cared for. We got photos and updates regularly. We will happily be using Briana's services again.”


“I would give 10 stars if it were possible. I was so thankful to be able to find Angie last minute to care for our dog Koa. It was Koa’s first time ever with a sitter, and we were nervous because it was 9 days, but Angie was welcoming during the meet and greet, and explained about how she would care for him. She also provided additional information about the other dogs she cared for during the time we would leave Koa with her. She sent pics almost every day to provide updates on how he was doing. We are so grateful for the amazing care that Koa received from Angie. He was a happy pup, which made us happy, too!”


“Iris was accommodating and pleasant to deal with. She provided photos of our dogs throughout their stay. She provides the majority of things your dog needs and has a nice home to board your pets in.”


About: I’ve taken care of friends pets plenty of times when they are away, never really done an arranged agreement such as rover, but have been dog sitting for friends since I was 15! I generally walk my own dog twice a day, so if that’s something you would usually do for your dog I would be happy to do the same! Otherwise I can let them out frequently throughout the day. I love dogs so I try to be as loving as I can to them. Whatever the owners need for their pets I’m happy to do. I would only treat your pet with the care that I do for my own!

“This was my first time using Rover and although I was hesitant I’m glad I went through with it. Christian is really gifted at what he does for your pets. He is attentive, extremely patient and will consistently keep you updated about your pet’s wellbeing. I would suggest Christian to look after your pet.”


“Absolutely wonderful! I was so relaxed knowing my fur baby was being well taken care of! Joanne sent pictures and videos to let me know how he was doing. I will definitely book again and highly recommend her service.”


“Maya and her family were great with my senior dog, Auggie. They came for a meet and greet to my house prior to the stay, and then picked him up him off as he isn’t able to get into my pick up truck anymore. Maya was great with sending pictures and keeping me up-to-date with his activities. I got an earlier flight home and they even accommodated bringing my pupper back to me sooner than we had originally discussed. Great people and would highly recommend Maya for any of your fur babies.”


“Alberto was a good fit for my Princess. He understood she suffers from separation anxiety and he gave her extra attention. Will book him again if I need to go away for the weekend.”


“Melissa and her husband were awesome! They treated my dog like family—walked him, cuddled with him, and even let him sleep with them. They kept me updated constantly with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. I could tell my dog felt right at home and was truly happy. It felt like a little vacation for him too! I would absolutely rebook with them again—eyes closed. Highly recommended!”


“Luz was awesome. She sent no less than three pictures of our dog every day while we were on vacation. Our dog requires medication three times daily and putting our trust in Luz to administer those doses worked out real well. Next time we need a dog sitter, you better believe we’ll reach out to her again.”


“Mikalyn was a great sitter to my little girl Molly. She was open and honest about the stayover. Don't hesitate to use Mikalyn as she is everything advertised by her biography. Thanks again Mikalyn for being a great sitter!”


“Shelisha did an amazing job with Luna! She kept me totally in the loop with constant updates, including tons of pictures and video messages. If you're a fur parent who values consistent notifications about your pet, Shelisha is highly recommended!”


“My Dante loves Summer and her son. I was worried he would act funny after picking him up from their home but he was like I never left. Thank you Summer! Dante is my Baby and to know he was well cared gave me all the peace of mind I could have during my time away. I would have them take care of Dante again with no doubt. ❤️”


“We are so thankful for Angelica! She responded very quickly to our last minute need for boarding care for our 2 dogs. She took such good care of them for 8 days. She sent pictures and videos everyday to show how well they were settling in to their environment. They were so happy, clean and well taken care for when we picked them up. Angelica responds very quickly to our texts. We will be using her in the future for sure”


“Ginger was wonderful with my dog!! So attentive to my needs and his. Communication was exceptional and prompt the whole time she had the dog. Great fenced yard for running and playing. I would highly recommend her and will definitely use her again.”


“Cherisse is so great with Ragnar! He loves to visit her house and play with all his dog friends. You can really tell that he loves every minute with all pictures she sends while I’m away!”
