“Lourdes made my trip so much more enjoyable by taking such good care of my baby Ragdoll (9 weeks). She kept me constantly updated with pictures and notes. I would highly recommend Lourdes with you beloved family member!”
“Our pup Mia has never stayed overnight with a sitter before and we need a sitter for a couple of nights. We were worried because she is quite anxious with new people/environments, but Robin made a great suggestion to have Mia do a trial run with her. Robin and Rahn took care of her for 1 night and things went well. Robin sent us updates and pictures/videos which were reassuring. Mia seemed to have a lot of fun with the other pups. We are glad to have come across Robin and Rahn and less worried about leaving her for a few days! Thanks guys!”
“Karla was super sweet with my girl Mila. Sent pictures and updates frequently throughout her time with her. She was also very patient with puppy energy and took her to my local dog park so she can still be around her friends while I was gone (and let out some energy). Would definitely recommend!”
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.
“10/10!!! Compared to my first experience with another Rover pet sitter, Yantian was so much better! He was very friendly during our first meetup and immediately made us feel comfortable leaving Churro with him. Throughout the day, he sent plenty of updates, which gave us peace of mind knowing Churro was having a great time. Yantian also followed all of our instructions, which we really appreciated. He was very flexible with our schedule and kindly accommodated our preferred pick-up time. Thank you, Yantian! We’ll definitely be booking with you again soon.”
“Alex took great care of my dog! He responded quickly to messages and made the entire process so easy. 10/10 would recommend boarding your baby with him!”
“I am so unbelievably grateful for Sydney! This was our first boarding with Sydney and she was incredibly attentive to our senior pup's comfort. Sydney asked really thoughtful questions during our meet and greet and sent consistent updates while I was traveling out of state. Sydney also didn't hesitate to inform me of an unexpected and urgent medical issue that arose concerning Lola's heart. Sydney went above and beyond in transporting Lola to the vet and describing her symptoms. Lola is home and comfortable now, and I can't thank Sydney enough for being so attentive and understanding. We owe her a debt of gratitude.”
“Jinni took a very good care of Tigra. She is very responsive, and it was easy to onboard, communicate and followed feeding instructions. Looked like my cat loved being with Jinni a lot!”
“Cristina is amazing and took fantastic care of my 6 month old puppy while i was out of town. This was the first time my dog stayed overnight with a stranger but Cristina made it so easy for both of us. I also received a lots of pics which helped a lot. I will definitely reebok in the future! 😊”
“Jessica was an amazing sitter while we were away. She was kind, thoughtful, and was even able to watch our kitten Dolly for the weekend with such short notice. She sent us updates about how Dolly was adjusting along with photos. It’s clear her home is full of animal lovers! We could not recommend her more. Thank you Jessica!”
“Great communication. Took well good care of my dog.”
“5 Stars – Highly Recommend! Mike was an incredible sitter for our pup, Bloo! From the very beginning, he was communicative, professional, and so caring. He kept Bloo busy every day with plenty of activity and playtime, and it really showed—our baby came home happy, healthy, and totally exhausted (in the best way!). We especially appreciated the daily photo updates—seeing Bloo living his best life made us feel so at ease while we were away. Mike clearly treated him like family, and we’re so grateful for the love and attention he gave. If you’re looking for someone reliable, attentive, and genuinely great with dogs, Mike is your guy. We’ll definitely be booking with him again!”
“Marissa was so sweet and instantly made me feel comfortable leaving my dog with her while on a Mexican vacation. I got a few photos throughout the stay, George was a happy boy and he now has a new buddy Luna. I would 💯 use her services again. Thank you Marissa!”
“Araceli was amazing she took my dog on in very short notice for the holiday weekend. Very kind, clean home very dog friendly. She treated my dog as if she was her own. She gave updates which was very appreciated. I would 100% book again with her. Thank you so much Araceli.”
“Artie was wonderful with my two dogs! They can both be a little nervous and shy, but I could tell they really enjoyed their time with him. He kept my mind at ease and sent photo updates throughout the stay. His yard is extremely secure and he has cute dogs of his own for everyone to play with. I highly recommend Artie if you need a reliable and cautious sitter!”
“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.”
About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life -- both my own dogs and as the go-to sitter for friends, family, colleagues, and neighbors. Across my extensive time caring for dogs, I have gained experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I am particularly good with nervous or timid dogs, and I am very comfortable with dogs who have special medical needs. Last year I had to say goodbye to my own greatly beloved dog after two years of very intense cancer care. While I am not ready for a new dog of my own yet, I am eager to shower other people's dogs with affection and care. I have a very flexible schedule and am available for dog care most days. On days listed as available, I am able to spend almost all of the time at home with the dog(s). I do not currently have any other animals in the home, and your dog will receive my full attention! I have a wide variety of dog beds for them to try out and toys for them to play with.
“I am brand new to Rover and I did a last minute booking for my two doodles with Lisa and they had the best time! Lisa is so sweet, highly responsive, and gave them so much love and attention!”
“Third time with LeeAnn! She always takes such great care of Zoey and sends frequent pictures and videos. I was gone for 2 weeks and did not have one worry while I was away. Highly recommend LeeAnn!”
“Lauren and Jordan are just awesome, very responsive and caring. I can tell York is having a great time at their place by the frequent photos and updates, which I appreciate a lot! Lauren paid attention to York and learned the best way to treat him as he wants/feels comfortable with. Will definitely come back to her in the future whenever I need to board York again.”

Hillary O.
“I can’t recommend Hillary highly enough for anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and experienced dog walker or pet sitter. She is incredibly caring and responsive to dogs’ needs, and it shows in how she interacts with every dog she meets. As a former dog owner herself, she provided her own dog with an incredible level of love and attention. That same dedication carries through to every dog in her care. Whether it’s a high-energy pup, a senior dog with medical needs, or a shy, timid rescue, Hillary approaches each one with patience, kindness, and understanding. She’s experienced with all kinds of breeds and temperaments, and it’s clear that dogs feel comfortable and safe with her (including mine, who love her! My dog Kevin is scared of most people but happily greets Hillary every time). They genuinely love her, and it's easy to see why—she’s calm, attentive, and truly in tune with their needs. If you're looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, you won’t find a better choice than Hillary.”

Marina dog parents share their Rover experiences
This was the first time Luna had stayed with Sydney and I was extremely impressed with the communication as well as the photos and the care that Luna received. We would definitely have her watch Luna again.
Lauren’s home is Disneyland for dogs- she goes above and beyond to take great care of my pup and makes sure he’s fulfilled safe and happy.
Mike was great with our dog Logan. Asked plenty of questions up front to make sure he was taking the best care possible. Mike sent plenty of updates and photos throughout the stay, which was great. I would use Mike again in the future!
Absolutely amazing! Very loving and attentive to my girl Kya. They kept me updated with pictures and texts. Would recommend to any friend of mine in a heartbeat!
Outstanding , very responsible and caring. Communication skills excellent always updating us on her day with my pups . Highly recommend.
Muffins has made friends for life in Austin and his family! Muffins is normally very anxious when it comes to visiting new places and meeting new people, but it was immediately clear after his first day that he really enjoyed himself! Every morning for drop off, Muffins was always very excited to see Austin. And at pickup, Muffins was content from his day of play! Austin is also great at providing updates and pictures of our boy during his stay which put our own separation anxiety at ease! There is no question we will use Austin again when it comes to Muffins' care!
My older dog needed a nice relaxing atmosphere and she got it staying here. Will book with them again if available.
Nayra took great care of our dog! She provided frequent updates throughout his stay and he came home tired and happy!
Marisol and her boyfriend treated our boy so well he was pouting all the whole trip home. They treated him like he was part of their family and we truly appreciate it because this was our first time using a pet sitter and our boys first time being away from us since we got him. Plenty of walks, rubs and even took him to the dog beach. Marisol was always in communication with us and updated us frequently. She always asked permission to give him things or take him out if she thought it was something we should be informed about. Plenty of pictures and videos. When I say do not hesitate to book a stay with Marisol I mean it. Thank you for giving our boy a great pupcation and we hope to reunite Jax with you on our next trip out.
Would give 10 stars if I could - Melina was an amazing dog sitter for my senior pup who required a lot of TLC with a torn ACL. I had quite a set of instructions for Melina to follow and she was so patient and detail oriented around the care she provided Penny. She also gave me a ton of updates throughout so I knew Penny was in good hands. Would highly recommend Melina to all the pup parents out there!
Audrey was amazing! Took great care of our corgi Lily, gave updates and sent pictures to make sure she was doing okay.
He was communicative during my dog’s stay, sent photo updates, and very friendly! I’d trust him with my dogs again! Thanks Stephen!
Alyssa and Scott are very friendly and communicative, and sent plenty of photos and updates about my pup. They gave her lots of exercise and attention. Thanks so much!
So glad to be able to leave Penny with great people! No worries in the least… loved the pictures of the pups!
Alisiene is very easy to work and very calm. She just allowed Roxy to sniff and roam until she was comfortable and found her spot perched on top of a sofa looking out the window. I’ll be leaving Roxy with her again! I really enjoyed the daily note and photo Alisiene sent.
Amazing set up, with lots of toys and fenced-in yard. Was super accommodating and flexible. Couldn’t recommend more highly!
Kara is my "go to" for when I visit San Diego with my Pomeranian, Sophie. She is very responsible, communicative and very kind to her. in fact, Sophie hesitates to leave Kara and her dog (mine does not make friends easy with other dogs), but warmed up quickly and Sophie was even playing with her at the end! This was Sophie's first overnight stay with Kara and it was great!
Maven had another great stay with Olena! She sent plenty of photos and updates. Maven seemed very well cared for and he can’t wait for his next stay.
Karla was great with our dog Mickey while we were away for 5 days! He had a few potty accidents, but she handled everything so calmly and kindly. She kept us updated with photos and messages, which really put our minds at ease. Mickey looked super happy and comfortable with her. We’d definitely book Karla again—highly recommend!
