“A great atmosphere, our dog was welcomed from the start . We received daily updates in text and pictures. Michael really cares for the dogs that he watches . He makes sure they get their walks , play time outside and time to chill inside. It’s a great to leave your best buddy with someone that cares and can be trusted. Fantastic job .”
“Brianna went above and beyond to give our doggie a great experience! She was responsive and very caring. We are truly impressed and appreciated her support. Will recommend her for sure. Thanks Brianna!!”
“We've been searching for a reliable pet sitter near Cypress, CA, and were fortunate to find someone like Sue! She was incredibly responsive and generous in many ways. Sue consistently sent us photos and videos of our dog while we were out of town, which was very reassuring. She even took our pup to the dog park, and it seems our dog was happier than ever! We highly recommend Sue if you care about your dog's well-being.”
“I want to thank Mariah for her time and great work taking care of Loki. He came back happy after his stay with her and I really recommend her services sitting dogs. She is very reliable.”
“She was absolutely amazing! I booked the wrong weekend and she accommodated us last minute. She saved our trip. And she sent update pictures while we were out of state. I highly recommend Jackie. 10/10 Otis was so comfortable with her as well.”
“Another great experience. Jo sends pictures/videos daily, gives great feedback about our furbaby's stay and we would use her again and definitely recommend her to friends/family.”
“Jeimy was such a wonderful sitter who took the best care of Bentley. She knew how to administer his medication, which was what we were worried about the most, but she managed it like a pro. She kept him cozy and warm, played with him all day, and gave him all the love so he wouldn’t feel sad or anxious. We’re so grateful to have had jeimy watch Bentley and will definitely book her again in the future. I recommend her for all your dog sitting needs.”
“The best! My husky was sick the day of the booking and Joanna welcomed us with open arms and took care of my girl and got her back on her feet. Would book again in a heart beat!”
“We can’t recommend Ximena enough! She has been absolutely wonderful with our 1-year-old Maltipoo, Daisy. Honestly, sometimes we feel like Daisy prefers Ximena’s home over ours — that’s how happy and comfortable she is there! Ximena and her family treat Daisy like one of their own. Whether it's going on walks, playing, or even including her in family picnics, Daisy is always part of the action and clearly loved. What really sets Ximena apart is the regular updates she sends — pictures and videos that show Daisy having fun and being well cared for. She also is very attentive if there are concerns from us that we would like monitoring like her food intake or energy levels. It gives us such peace of mind, especially since Daisy has some abandonment issues from prior to our adoption. We’re so grateful to have found someone we can trust completely. Ximena is a true gem!”
About: I walked my dog in my neighborhood or nearby park twice a day min 30m; I trained my dog regularly, and he became a certified service dog for my son in 2024. I am currently work from home and enjoy the daily walk with my dog twice a day with extra walk in nearby park on weekends. I have fenced two storied house with big and green front yard and backyard, big patio and surrounded by grass, security cameras around the whole house, my neighborhood is pet friendly, 80% households owned pets.
“Thank you Angie for taking good care of our Piper. Sending us those pics are great because I worry about her a lot coz she is my baby😊 Piper seemed to have enjoyed her stay. Hoping she will always be welcome at your lovely home.”
“This was our first experience leaving our pup for an out of state vacation and we could not be more satisfied with the care our doggo received. Michelle went above and beyond with her care, sending us updates, pictures, videos, and even FaceTiming at our request to say hi to the pup. It was such a relief to not have to worry while we were away. I’d recommend Michelle to anyone! Thank you!”
About: Besides raising and going through training (private and group) with our 5 year old golden doodle (Wrigley) from 2 months old, I have plenty of experience with family and friend’s pups from puppyhood to senior age. Our home sees pups as not just a pet, but a part of our families and we would love to host your dog(s) to make them feel at home! In addition, Wrigley used to have separation anxiety, so we understand the needs that come with that and are happy to keep your dog company when you have a busy day. My husband and I each work part time in healthcare while we raise our one year old toddler, so someone is always home. My available days on rover will correspond with days that I’m planning to stay at home. We keep our home tidy and free of clutter (or small things that pups can ingest). We have a closed backyard with turf that’s perfect for fetch and potty breaks, but we are also happy to go on walks if your pet has a lot of energy.
“Great experience with Caroline. She was very good at communicating and giving updates on our dog. Our dog is very high energy and yet Caroline was so patient with him. Would highly recommend her.”
“Lorraine and her husband were super kind in taking my dog last minute since I got called in to work. She provided pictures throughout the day of him playing outside in the yard and on his walk. Would love to book again (:”
“Marby and her husband were absolutely wonderful with our dog, Sora! From the start, communication was clear and consistent, and they made us feel completely at ease while we were away. They sent regular updates and photos, which reassured us that Sora was not only safe but genuinely enjoying his time with them. It’s clear they both have a natural way with animals — Sora came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. We really appreciated the attention they gave her, and it felt like she was treated like part of their family for the weekend. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Marby again. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a caring, responsible sitter!”

Bin T.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter than Bin! He took amazing care of our Butter for 10 days while we were away. Bin went above and beyond—he walked Butter more than three times a day, and every time we checked in, she looked happy, well-fed, and full of energy. What really stood out was how detail-oriented and loving Bin was. He kept us updated regularly with photos and notes, and it was clear that Butter was in great hands. She also made a new friend—Bin’s sweet dog Angel—and we could tell she genuinely enjoyed the companionship. When we returned, Butter was calm, healthy, and clearly had a great time. We’re so grateful for Bin’s thoughtful care and would trust him again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!”

“Melissa has cared for my dog (Haupia) whenever I have to go out of town for work (whether it’s a couple days, or a week). My dog is active and she makes sure to give him just the right amount of exercise daily! She also gives fresh (dog friendly) fruits/veggies as treats, and cares for my dog as if he was her own. I always know my pup is in good hands with her :)”

They are the best when it comes to communication! I always appreciate the regular updates and pictures of Buzz it’s something I really enjoy. They’re also very flexible with my schedule and always quick to respond to any questions I have. I would definitely recommend them to friends and family!
Kamilah was amazing with my baby girl! She sent lots of updates and pictures, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My Baela loved being with her, she came home nice and tired. She even groomed her for me last minute. I would definitely recommend her to anyone I know. I will be booking her again 💕
I cannot believe how absolutely lucky we were to find Elyssa. Our Kalee was cared for amazingly and I will definitely be using her services again. Elyssa stayed in communication with us and sent pictures and videos while we were on vacation which made us feel so much better knowing that she was in great company with other pets too. Thank you, Elyssa for being so kind to our Kalee girl.
Lorraine was great with our dog, Ziggy. Ziggy was comfortable with Lorraine and her family immediately. Lorraine updated us with pictures and/or videos daily. Ziggy went on walks, runs and had lots of outside time in their backyard. He definitely enjoyed his time there! We would definitely board with Lorraine again. Thanks for taking great care of our pal!
I was super nervous to leave my cooper for 4 days with a stranger but Mireya made it simple and easy. She agreed to meet up a few days before our trip so we could introduce and see where cooper would be staying. She kept us updated with pictures and videos as well. Definitely will be using her in the future.
Our senior dog who is picky about everything loves Connie! We know this because she walks right up to her door when we drop her off. Connie is caring and truly just loves dogs. She goes above and beyond the scope of the booking and exhibits care beyond what we would expect with videos and pictures all throughout the stay. Thank you so much Connie!!!
Jacklyn took good care of our dog while we were away. We got lots of updates about how Lucky was doing, and the best part - lots of photos of cuddling. Jacklyn has great experience with dogs of all kinds I would say. She even goes the extra mile to have my dog groomed for us as he had some issues with his coats. She is truly a reliable sitter. Lucky came home a happy boy.
