“Our Remi is a little challenging, cause she is afraid of people and new places. Jo’Ell kindly offered us couple meet ups with Remi so Remi can get more familiar with her before the boarding. She also provided helpful tips to us that helps Remi to opens herself up. During this stay, Todou and Remi both became very picky with the food, Jo’Ell grabbed some food topper for them and resolved the issue. Super experienced!”
“This was our first time leaving our pup for more than a few days and needless to say we were only a little tightly wound about it. But Shirley made us feel like we could breathe on our travels and actually be present in the moments. Not only did she keep him loved and cared for, but she was the ultimate documentarian, showering us with plenty of pics and videos to never feel left out. I would highly recommend Shirley for any pet care taking needs, and would love to have her watch Kaito again.”

Cheryl was absolutely wonderful with our sweet girl while we were out of town. She was so well cared for and felt completely at home with Cheryl. She enjoyed nice walks, got lots of love, and we received thoughtful updates and photos that gave us such peace of mind while we were away. It’s clear Cheryl truly cares, and we’re so grateful to have found her. We’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future!
Jena is great with Zeke on normal walks, and this was their first long weekend together. She takes fantastic care of him and kept him busy. He even got to meet a new doggie friend! She gave me great updates and was even really flexible when our plans were delayed. Definitely would recommend her to care for your furry loved one!!
Ángela was exceptional with Toby! She was flexible with drop off/pick up arrangements and kept us updated with pictures. Toby enjoyed time outdoors as well as pets and cuddles during his stay. We will definitely be reaching back out to Angela for future stays!!!
Kim was awesome with my Osita. This was our first time away from her. Kim was very flexible and accommodating the last minute booking. Osita is 8 months old and full of energy- Kim did a great job keeping her busy and also made sure Osita felt safe. She sent many pictures and videos and was quick to respond when I reached out to check on Osita. Highly reccomend!
I’ve been a pet sitter for over six years, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your furry family. That’s why I’m excited to recommend Lauren, who is just starting out on Rover. I know both her and her sweet dog, Milo, and I can honestly say that any dog that stays with them is in for a treat! Lauren has a spacious house and a large, beautiful, fully fenced yard that is very safe. It truly feels like a little palace for pets! There’s plenty of space for the dogs to run around and relax. As for Milo, he is one of the gentlest dogs I’ve ever met. I’ve cared for many dogs over the years, but he stands out as one of the kindest and most patient souls. He has a calming presence, and I know he’ll be loving and respectful with any dog he meets — playful if your dog wants to play, or relaxed if your dog prefers a slower pace. Lauren is a genuine animal lover, and I wouldn’t hesitate to leave my own dog in her care. I’m confident that your pup will feel right at home with her and Milo. If you're nervous about choosing someone new, give her a try — you and your dog will be glad you did!
I am pretty sure Maggie would rather live at Clare's! Clare took great care of Maggie, and she came home happy and healthy. Clare kept in touch and sent pictures, and it was great knowing she was so well-cared for. We will definitely ask Clare to watch Maggie again.
Odalys was so sweet and loving with our baby! She communicated well, sent frequent updates with pictures and videos and was very helpful and accommodating. Arthur was right at home with her and although happy to see me when she dropped him off, he was sad to see her go. That says it all!
