“Koda always has a blast at Jeff & Beths’s. So grateful she gets to go to such a sweet and safe home to play and cuddle and get so well taken care of. They are the best! Thank you!”
“Best pet sitter in the East Bay, Philly was walked and well-taken care of, updates were amazing and adorable, Kelly even gave me her harness and included dried sweet potato treat sticks for Philly, 10/10 recommend. Thank you Kelly!”
“Madeleine was great with my dog Julio! She took our very last minute request and was very responsive. She gave updates and photos each day, which put me at ease since Julio is a high anxiety dog. I would definitely book her again!”
“Maria and Kevan are wonderful!! They made our dog feel at home and I love all the photo updates I get from them. They’re very sweet and kind and I would definitely recommend them to any pup.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! From the start, Tierra was incredibly considerate of our dog’s routine and needs. We loved getting the daily updates and photos—it really put our minds at ease while we were away. It was clear our dog felt right at home at her place and was treated like family. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Words can not express how amazing Eiko is as as a host. I had an emergency while out of the country and she stepped in to provide service at a moment’s notice. I can’t recommend her enough.”
“Sherry is an AMAZING dog sitter!! I trusted her to care for my sweet but nervous 50lb girl, Ellie, and I could not have asked for a better sitter. Sherry was so thorough, she sent plenty of updates throughout and put me at ease! She was super responsive to my dog’s needs, and I could see Ellie just melting and falling in love with her through the updates. She’s got a lovely, clean and safe apartment and she is obviously someone who knows dogs well. I would trust Sherry with dog sitting ANY day! Highly recommend.”
“Angela was awesome with Maple. She gave daily updates and made sure that my very active dog was able to get her energy out every day. Would highly recommend/rebook in the future!”
“Chad and his family are amazing! Chad was understanding and communicative throughout the Rover process. His place is truly a property filled with trees and plenty of backyard space for your pup to run and sniff around. Chad is a true professional when it comes to dog sitting, knowing the dogs he cares for very well. He also seems to be a very down-to-earth person that goes the extra mile to be sure your questions are answered and you feel comfortable leaving your furbaby in his care. THANK YOU CHAD & FAM for TLC you showed my family on a holiday weekend. I couldn't have had a better first experience with a Rover sitter. =)”
“Mary did such a fantastic job watching our pup for a week and a half while we were out of the country! Our pup has some specific needs so I was nervous but Mary was so sweet and patient with our pup. The photo updates made it easy to enjoy our vacation. I’d recommend Mary for anyone obsessed with their dogs.”
“Mariola is amazing! Super responsive, kind and knowledgeable about dogs! Our dog Luna really enjoyed her stay with Mariola and we are definitely going to book her again next time we need someone to take care of Luna while we are away.”
“Megan and Jenny were amazing! They watched our dog, Beni, while we were out of the country for over two weeks for vacation and sent us daily, adorable, photo updates of him relaxing and playing with the other dogs that overlapped with his stay. He came back happy and healthy and seemed to have the best time. We were joking that he got to go on a vacation too! Will definitely book them to watch Beni again.”
“Lee was amazing!! We were really nervous about leaving our elderly pup with someone in their home but Lee definitely eased that anxiety. She kept us updated with pics and check ins as we requested, and gave Arturro lots of cuddles and lovies as we do. We love that she makes every pup feel at home! We will definitely book again!”
“Marlene was wonderful! She was very responsive, kind, and reliable. We met before, so she could be introduced to and ask questions about Birdy. She has a great home environment, and I definitely felt like my pup was in great hands. I would be more than happy to work with Marlene again (as would Birdy!)”
“Shannon was such an amazing help. Unfortunately our pup was not able to attend our wedding rehearsal and Shannon saved the day. She was flexible with pick up times, showed up exactly when we needed her, and was very professional. Shannon’s house is just as described and is perfect to house doggies. She sent many pictures and updates so you will never miss a moment.”
About: I have over 30 years of experience caring for animals, including dogs, cats, and rabbits. I'm currently a stay-at-home mom of 2 (ages 3 & 6) with a very open schedule that allows me to go above and beyond for my furry friends! Our home offers a luxurious 3600sf of comfy indoor space, 3 wraparound view decks for birdwatching, sunbathing and cooling off (dogs welcome in our kiddie pool!), and a fully fenced backyard for sniffs and exploration. We're currently a pet free household and only accept one client at a time to ensure your pet has our full attention, a true vacation experience, and LOTS of love. My husband and I are both experienced caregivers of puppies, senior dogs, brachycephalic breeds, and dogs with special needs. Our kids love animals and are eager to help with feedings, walks, games and snuggles, but also know when to step back and give our furry friends space and peace. I'm an avid hiker, gardener, and nature lover, so if your dog loves to hit the trail and go on adventures, I'm always looking for a side kick! Or, if your pup just likes to chill and snack, I get that too, and I'm here for it ☺️ Looking forward to connecting! I generally don't have a schedule. This means that instead of fitting your dog's needs into my schedule, I create a schedule around your dog! Your dog will be treated like an honorable guest and loved like a member of our family. Safety is always our number one priority, and as such your pet will always be closely supervised, protected and guarded from dangers. Because we have young children, all dangerous household items are always locked away. As a gardener, I'm cognizant of what plants are toxic vs edible and will always keep an eye on your pet to ensure they're not getting into anything dangerous. If I bring your dog on adventures or errands, they will always stay right by my side and will never be left in a car, tied up, or in any other unsafe situation. And lastly, we take "gentle hands" and respecting animals VERY seriously in our household, so even our most fragile senior guests can enjoy a peaceful, relaxing stay.
“Milo had the best time with Amanda! She had everything Milo needed during his stay, and sent regular updates. She was flexible with drop off/pick up times and was very responsive. Milo is already excited for his next stay!”
“Meera was great and professional. She was very communicative and always sent photos of my dog the whole time, I really appreciate it. She was very sweet and gentle with jazz and took her on walks and hikes. I would recommend to anyone”

Angela was wonderful with our dog, Luna. She was taken out for multiple walks per day, and sent pictures and messages to keep me posted on how Luna was doing. I felt at ease knowing Luna was in good hands. I would not hesitate to book Angela again next time we need to board Luna!
Minnie was in great hands with Laura for a few days. Laura went above and beyond by taking her on their weekend adventures. Although Minnie had a little bit of a rough start in a new environment, Laura was understanding and made sure she was comfortable. She provided daily updates and pics of Minnie enjoying the outdoors. Minnie came back a happy and satisfied dog!
I have booked Rachel to take care of my dog Daryl several times. He is afraid of new people but every time I drop him off with Rachel he is so excited to see her! Rachel is very patient with nervous dogs and she is a reliable sitter, we are very lucky to have found her!
Lydia and her husband, Marty, took great care of Ellie and provided us peace of mind while we were away. We appreciated their thoughtful questions ahead of time and their attention to detail in our provided care instructions. They showered our puppy girl with affection, fun outdoor adventures, and lots of playtime. We could tell Ellie was having a blast literally right up to the moment we picked her up. We will definitely rebook!
We had a wonderful experience with Noreen! She was incredibly patient, attentive, and caring with our pup, who has been dealing with hip issues as well as allergies, and required a little extra support. She really took the time to make sure our dog was comfortable, happy, and got plenty of play time and exercise. We felt completely at ease knowing our pet was in such capable and compassionate hands. Highly recommend!
Todd took excellent care of our dog, Bruno. He shared plenty of photos and provided regular updates throughout Bruno’s stay. Bruno was also recovering from surgery, and Todd made sure to give special attention to his wound and recovery. Overall, we were very pleased with Todd’s care, and Bruno came home happy and well cared for. I’d happily book with Todd again!
My dog Dexter stayed with Christopher for three long weeks. Our communications before and during the stay were very good. Chris was always available when I called him to get an update, periodically providing me with videos of Dexter and once even doing a live session on FaceTime during one of their walks. Dexter came to Chris with a long list of instructions concerning dog’s diet and his meds. Chris followed these instructions to the T. There was no drama, nothing sentimental about Chris’ care for Dexter, but to me what mattered the most was that my boy was returned into my care healthy and happy. It is not the first time I leave Dexter with someone for several weeks stretch and I can instantly tell just by looking at the dog if he was taking care of and if he’s was a happy camper while I was gone. Looking back at our interactions and the end result I could say with confidence that I trust Chris and will be using his service next time I have to go away and leave my dog behind.
Charlie had another great stay with Kara and Nathan! This was the first time Charlie had stayed with them since they adopted their dog, Delta. But luckily the two dogs seemed to get along well, and they all took excellent care of Charlie, with regular updates and photos/videos.
If you are looking for a pet sitter that will care for your animal as if they are one of your own, look no further. A selfish part of me wants to not leave a review at all so that we can keep this lovely couple all to ourselves and our dog, but that would not be fair. Robert and Brian- thank you truly for taking such incredible care of Athena and all the updates, especially the photo dumps. We (me, my partner, and Athena for sure) appreciate you both so much!
