“Angela was the perfect dog mom for our Skye. She adjusted to Skye's schedule and Skye learned how to make her needs known. Angela sent us daily photos and a few videos, so we could be assured that Skye was doing well. Skye will definitely be returning in the future.”
“Alexis was amazing. She stayed with my 14-year-old lady for 15 days and treated her like a princess. Shee took care of her, fed her, gave her affection and made her feel at home. I can only thank her. I recommend with my eyes closed!”
“Our dog’s stay with Lisa was awesome. Lisa really seemed to truly care for our dog as if she was her own, and I felt entirely comfortable that our dog would be well loved while we were away. Great communication, great experience!”
“Another great experience for my Bud with Mary, Fernando, Matteo and Roland! A special big thank you for the 'spa day' for Bud! I can't believe Mary is able to trim his nails (I sure can't!). Plus, he came home so shiny and is still shiny a week later! If anyone is looking for a sitter that treats their pet as one of their own, Mary and her family are definitely the ones you should book with! Thank you again, this was a long visit for Bud and he came home so relaxed, which means he had a wonderful time (again!). We love you guys!”
“Absolutely amazing people! They took exceptional care of my dog, and it was obvious he was happy, comfortable, and loved while he was with them. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in such great hands. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring people to look after their pet. Thank you so much!”
“Sherry Z. Is fantastic! We left our pup, Juneau, with her for the weekend while we traveled out of town. She was warm and attentive to our pet, and sent updates and photos throughout the weekend. We will definitely book Sherry again the next time we travel.”
“Booking with Marie was a breeze! We had a quick chat to iron out the details, and I felt totally at ease leaving Gandalf in her care for our extended getaway. Throughout his stay, Marie sent us a few check-ins and adorable pics—Gandalf looked like he was living his best life! When we went to pick him up, it was clear just how much he loved his time with Marie—he didn’t even want to leave at first! He came home happy, tired, and slid right back into our routine, which speaks volumes about how comfortable he felt with her. Huge thanks to Marie for taking such great care of our little pooch!”
“Melody took great care of our dog Mia while we were away. This was the first time we used rover.com and the entire experience went very well. Melody was very professional, communicated with us quickly and provided us with many updates and pictures of our pup to show she was getting along just fine. Provided peace of mind and I would definitely use Melody again. Great environment for dogs and she clearly cares for our four legged friends! Thank you Melody!”
About: I’m a kind and goofy gal that loves dogs with my whole being. I own a beagle named Luna that I love spending time with. Her mom needs to hustle to get more funds for our journeys and all the Trader Joe’s treats. I am constantly the friend that takes care of my friend’s dog and enjoy every moment. I hope you give me the opportunity to spend time with your pet! I’d be happy to expand on my experience and passion. My entire schedule revolves around my dog. I’m thinking about how to move things around for her and always checking if I can bring her with. I enjoy our three walks a day on our remote work from home days. I’m open to taking care of pets at my home or their own as long as you’re okay with mine being with us. I’d be happy to introduce them beforehand. I’m a horrible liar and believe in karma, so I treat everyone and their homes like I would want others to treat mine. Hopefully this isn’t too cheesy lol
“Wow. We were so fortunate to find Katie and her family for our Remy. They have two dogs of their own who are well behaved and welcoming. We received photos and reports almost every day of our two week vacation, showing us how much fun Remy was having and all the attention she was getting from Katie’s two daughters . We strongly recommend Katie and will have Remy stay there again”
“Jan sent several pictures to keep me updated. The dogs seemed stress free and happy when I picked them up. I love that Jan let them sleep in her bed...just like home.”
“Jill was great! Her and her two dogs took really good care of my fur baby! She even sent me a video ofnthem playing! She was flexible with pick and drop off times. I will definitely have her watch my dog again!”
“Tailor had some experience with senior dogs so she was patient with my old man and sent lots of updates and photos for both dogs. They came home happy and healthy.”
“Angie was amazing! My dog had so much fun that I’m pretty sure he didn’t want to come home! She sent great updates and pictures and treated Cosmo like her own. I definitely will be using her again!!”
About: The Perfect Quiet Getaway for Your Senior Dog Hello! We are Nissa and Brian, a dog-loving couple offering a peaceful retreat exclusively for older, larger dogs. We know that senior dogs need a different kind of care—less chaos, more naps, and a safe, predictable environment to simply relax. Our home is a calm, quiet sanctuary. With no young kids running around the house, your dog will enjoy a genuinely low-stress environment where they can snooze undisturbed. We take exactly one dog at a time, guaranteeing your pet receives our undivided attention and a personalized, quiet stay. We have a secure, fully fenced-in backyard. It’s perfect for gentle, off-leash sniffing and leisurely sunny naps in the grass without the overwhelming energy of dog parks or busy streets. We have hands-on experience providing attentive, reliable care for dogs. We are entirely comfortable managing the unique pacing, comfort needs, and gentle handling that senior dogs require. To maintain our tranquil environment, we exclusively welcome: Senior Dogs: Ages 10 and up. Medium to Giant Breeds: We love the big dogs! Solo Guests: Only one pet per stay for maximum peace and quiet. If you have a gentle giant who just wants a soft spot to land and a quiet yard to explore, we would love to meet them! Pet care seamlessly integrates into our everyday lives, as we are both home throughout the day most of the week. Brian works from home and Nissa is home full-time, meaning your dog will rarely be left alone and will have constant, quiet companionship. Our weekends are similarly low-key and predictable. On Saturday mornings, Nissa heads to the farm for horse riding lessons while Brian heads out for a weekend trail run for a few hours. During this brief window, your dog will have a safe, quiet, and comfortable space to nap before we return for a relaxing afternoon together. Providing a safe, low-stress environment is our absolute top priority. We purposefully host only one dog at a time to ensure your senior pet receives our undivided attention without the unpredictable energy or stress of multiple dogs in the house. Our home is a calm sanctuary specifically tailored for medium to giant older dogs to relax in peace. We have a fully fenced-in backyard that is secure and perfect for gentle, supervised outdoor time. We always monitor outdoor breaks and ensure the indoor temperature and noise levels remain perfectly comfortable for a snoozing senior.
“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. From the moment she met my pup, it was clear she genuinely cared. She sent regular updates, adorable photos, and made sure she felt comfortable and loved the entire time. When I picked her up, she was happy, relaxed, and clearly had an amazing time. I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and attentive dog sitter.”

Reptar had a great time with Emily. We met outside of her apartment, Reptar (an anxious dog) was initially a little reactive from the busyness of street and all the people walking nearby but when he saw Emily, he was quick to calmly warm up to her. Reptar wasted no time exploring her apartment as I set up his crate, Emily had no problem with him jumping up on her couch (appreciate that for him). Emily sent check ins throughout the overnight stay to let me know he was settling in and how he was doing. Upon pick up, she had him all set outside of her apartment when I arrived, allowing for a smooth transition.
I’m still fairly new to Rover, and it was truly a pleasure having Karlee watch my Shorkie while I was out of town. She sent updates whenever I requested them and gave my dog a new opportunity to be around a cat, which I really appreciated. What stood out most was how well Karlee was able to understand my dog’s personality. It showed that she genuinely took the time to get to know her and accommodate her individual needs. I truly appreciate the care she provided, would absolutely recommend her, and would definitely request her again!
My anxious dog settled in beautifully with Frank and his two little dogs, allowing me to enjoy a worry-free two week vacation. Frank sent updates with photos which greatly reassured me that all was going even better than hoped. Honey clearly enjoyed a relaxing time with Frank in his home and made new friends with his dogs. I highly recommend Frank and would not hesitate to rebook with him!
This was my first time using Rover and I am very satisfied that I booked with Laura! She took such great care of Carmelo that Carmelo didn’t want to leave 😂 She always kept me updated by sending pics and vids. She’s very considerate about the comfort of the cats she sits for. I would definitely book her again in the future! Thank u so much Laura 🫶
Ashley went above and beyond with our reservation! She was so accommodating and sent updates every day with pictures of our pup! I would easily recommend her to anyone looking for pet care. I really appreciate how communicative she was. The whole process went smoothly! 10/10!!!
