“Thank you Karen and Ben! Super appreciate their care for Mochi and the in-house host Ginsburg too! 🐶 he seemed like he recognized everyone and made himself right at home.”
“Lee did a great job from the very first meet and greet to the last pick up when we had her watch our 2 little chihuahua terrier mixes. She sent us daily photos so that we’d know they were doing well with her other dogs. Highly recommend!”
“Alexis and her roommate very curious to learn about Puffy as I dropped him off which was nice. They were very communicative and kept me up to date with texts and pictures. Thanks alot!”
“My first time booking a sitter through Rover, and my senior dachshund loved the weekend he spent at Eiko’s place! She took amazing car of my dog and seemed super comfortable with the notes I left her—my dog is pretty easy going but can be a bit needy at times. I got a handful of updates throughout the weekend but I was also able to turn my attentions away and feel really comfortable leaving her in charge of the little guy. I’d definitely recommend her, and I’ll likely be looking to book here again!”
About: I’m a Fear Free Certified Professional, currently studying animal behavior. I’ve been running my own home based doggy daycare and boarding house for four years. My care is crate-free (unless that's what your pup's preferred at-home routine is,) with regular group outings to trails and the beach. I live in a two level home where the entire downstairs and fenced backyard are just for the dogs! It’s colorfully set up as the coolest doggie social club, but the pups are welcome throughout both levels of the home. They are never forcibly isolated and almost always prefer to be close to wherever I am. I keep my client list small and personal—almost all of my dogs have been with me for years. I don’t aim to pack the house; I aim to give the best experience possible for every dog and human involved. Even when clients start as one-offs, they usually stick around—because I strive to be a resource for dogs and their families. That’s why I call this place a home away from home. If you're interested, I invite you to come by for a meet and greet—see the space, meet me, and let me meet your little one. I look forward to being your dog’s new best friend! Canine care is my daily life. The dogs are with me throughout the day—whether we’re in the yard, around the house, or out on a trail. I structure my routine around their needs, with group outings, downtime, and a consistent rhythm. If my personal life calls me away, I have an amazing assistant Alaina who steps in. She also co-runs the daycare! I focus on keeping things consistent, calm, fun, and full of bonding—play, rest, outdoor time, and enrichment are all part of the daily rhythm. Outside of daycare hours, the space functions as our home too, so dogs experience a relaxed, real-life environment, not a facility. I send updates, pictures, and videos throughout the day.
“My animals are always so happy and healthy after a stay with Mariola! They definitely see it as their home away from home. I'll absolutely have them stay there, pretty much any time I leave town.”
“Alexandra was an incredible pet sitter for my almost 3-year-old mini bull terrier. Alexandra is a clear communicator, proactive, kind, responsible, attentive, and loves animals. My dog stayed with Alexandra and her two kiddos for 5 days/nights, and I was able to fully enjoy my vacation because of Alexandra's excellent communication. She kept me updated and texted me each day before I had a chance to worry about anything (after all, she was caring for my fur baby!). I felt at ease knowing that my pup was in loving and attentive hands, and I could text any time I felt the need. My dog is super friendly and also has some behavior quirks. She can get overexcited, and Alexandra had no problem following all the care instructions. She noticed my dog's comfort or discomfort and ensured she got what she needed. When I picked up my pup, she was quite content and even gave Alexandra a little lick goodbye, which told me even more about the care Alexandra and her family gave my little one. So many thanks, and I will definitely book again!!”
“Iggy did a trial stay with Mary and absolutely loved her. He can be a little shy and unsure but she and Murphy Brown made him feel very comfortable. She kept us informed about how he was doing and was wonderful! We’re looking forward to having her watch Iggy again for a longer stay.”
“My 11-year-old male boxer stayed with Jeff and Beth and their kiddos May 17-20, 2025. It was his second time with them (would have been the third, but they were unavailable the second time I tried). This family will always be my go-to host for my beloved old dude. Their property is dog heaven--a hill to climb on and a patio to sun on. Jeff and Beth allow him on the furniture and in the kitchen, where he enjoys helping with meal preparation. He gets plenty of socializing with other dogs, and he loves children, and gets cuddles, walks and human attention too. Beth and Jeff are wonderful about sending photos and text updates throughout the day. They are also proficient at administering meds. I commend them to you with great pleasure.”
“Vanessa was so kind and careful with our pup Gumbo! We were extra nervous because we had to leave him with her for two weeks while he recovered from an injury. Following our vet’s instructions, she gave him his meds, restricted his activity, carried him up and down the stairs, and provided so much loving care. And she sent us lots of updates! Her pup Robin is so sweet too. We’re looking forward to Gumbo’s next stay with them.”
“Andrea is absolutely wonderful—so sweet and caring with our pup. She treats our dog like her own and always makes sure he’s happy, safe, and having fun. Our dogs get along great and enjoy their time together, which gives us real peace of mind while we’re away. We never have to worry, knowing he’s in such loving hands!”
“Lilly was wonderful with my little girl Kuki! Kuki can be quite anxious with new people and in new environments but Lilly was very patient and gentle with her and made her felt at home! Will definitely have Kuki stay again!”
“Banksy had a wonderful time with Claudio! Claudio is kind, caring, and really listened when I dropped Banksy off for his first time with him. Banksy seemed really comfortable, and was relaxed and happy when I came to pick him up. He'll definitely be back with Claudio the next time we have to go out of town without him!”
“Kelly was a wonderful sitter for Benny! I received plenty of daily updates, helping me feel confident that he was in good hands. He got plenty of walks, park time, play time, and snuggles. Kelly also returned him cleaner than when I dropped him off!! We are very glad we’ve found Kelly, as I fully intend to use her again in the future. I know she treated Benny like her own pup and took excellent care of him!”
“Tabor’s stay with Ellie & Jurre was wonderful from start to finish. I appreciated their professionalism and consistent communication, it was clear he was very comfortable during the time he spent in their home. They sent ample updates with photos and videos and provided plenty of cuddles and excursions for Tabor while I was away. Their level of care is admirable, they’re genuinely warm people and I’d highly recommend them for anyone!”
“Danielle is so patient with our new pup! He had an accident and she gave him a belly band with no issues at all. They took him to the beach for his one night stay this time. Chili loves Danielle and her fam!”
“Rachel is a terrific dog sitter! She is very responsive and communicative, and my dog had a great time with her and her dog. I appreciated the photos and videos of their beautiful hikes and play time.”
“Albina was great with Doug. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which I appreciated. Doug seemed happy and well-cared for when I picked him up. Would definitely book with her again.”

Aimee E.
“I truly cannot say enough good things about Aimee. We met her through Rover when our dog Zoe was a puppy, and over the last few years, she has become a part of Zoe's family. Aimee watches Zoe for both daycare and boarding. Aimee brings a lot of fun (beach trips!), stimulation (toys, a doggie pool!), training, and most importantly, a ton of love and care to Zoe's life. It's clear that Aimee is passionate about dogs, and really takes the time to get to know each pup - their personalities, quirks, and needs. She also has excellent judgment. For example, when Zoe was in her care while we were out of the country, Aimee noticed that Zoe wasn't acting like herself and ended up taking her to the vet on our behalf and updated us frequently. We always feel like Zoe is in good hands while in Aimee's care. She has has excellent communication and we also love the videos and photos she sends throughout the day. I HIGHLY recommend Aimee for both boarding and daycare. She is a gem and we feel lucky to have her!”

Mosswood dog parents share their Rover experiences
Bo clearly felt so comfortable with Tobias. Tobias suggested we meet before the stay, which made for a smooth time away because I knew Bo was with a kind, thoughtful person who would take good care of him. He sent daily updates with pictures. I will definitely book with him again!
Alexis was fantastic with our 16 year old dog, who came with some rather long care instructions. Alexis was attentive to his needs (going outside quite often) and ours (getting regular updates). We also really appreciated her flexibility when we suddenly had to extend by a day. 10/10–would definitely boom again!
Alexis is top-notch. We left our two dogs for a week in very short notice. As others have said, she reliably sends updates, with pictures which provided us such peace of mind. She also gave one of our dogs a daily medication and a cream. Both dogs came back happy, healthy and clean. We couldn’t be more pleased with Alexis’s services.
I’m blown away! Our dog requires a bit of extra work due to some medical issues. We found it difficult to find a ‘rover’ willing to put in the extra effort to take care of our little guy and thankfully, it led us to Mariana & Julian. They put us to ease immediately. The organization, care, communication and love we received truly blew us away and Baxter simply thrived in their household.
The only difficult part of writing this review is finding enough good things to say about Bobby. Every interaction, from our first communication to picking up Puck after his stay, conveyed warmth, canine knowledge, and professionalism. Puck is a rescue with some serious PTSD and social anxiety, so in our initial conversation with Bobby we discussed whether his rescue, River, would get along well with Puck. He assured us of River’s gentle nature in language that conveyed an excellent understanding of canine personalities and interactions, and we felt comfortable going ahead with a meet and greet. River was just as Bobby described, and Puck was shy as always but clearly not panicked or overly anxious . . . River’s easy vibe comforted him. My husband and I really liked Bobby, so we went ahead with scheduling the 5 day stay. We left in confidence when we dropped Puck off, and in the following days received regular updates and photos. I love that Bobby is so affectionate with the dogs; there is a lot of love there, and it shows in the demeanor of Puck and River. Puck seemed to quickly learn that he could curl up and snuggle with Bobby whenever he wanted, earning a “He’s a snugglebug” comment from Bobby . . . . yup, that’s what everyone calls him lol. When we picked up Puck, he was of course delirious with joy to see us, but not overcome with nervousness or anxiety. We could see that he had developed a relationship with Bobby, and that he felt safe and loved. When we arrived home, he slipped right back into normal routines without needing decompression time. Thank you, Bobby, for providing Puck with a warm and loving home-away-from-home, and for the priceless experience of positive socializing with River . . . . we will be reaching out again in the future when we have travel plans.
Taylor and her husband Kevin took amazing care of our Ellie girl! From the moment we met them, they put us at ease and demonstrated that they are definitely animal lovers who care about the dogs they board. Taylor was proactive in all her communication, sent frequent photos and videos, and just generally gave us peace of mind so we never once worried about Ellie! We could tell our pup was in good hands and was treated as a member of the family. Will definitely book again!
I can not thank Jiayi enough for taking care of Bowie for the week of our vacation! My boyfriend and I were really nervous to leave Bowie with someone we didn’t know, but Jiayi and her husband took amazing care of him! Jiayi was extremely communicative, sent lots of photos and was very reassuring that all of bowie’s needs would be met. When we went to pick him up, Bowie was so sad to say goodbye! We will definitely be asking Jiayi to watch Bowie on our next vacation.
Claudio provided a lot of wonderful playtime in various places that he knows. He had several dogs over the 10 days my puppy was with him, and she really enjoyed the company. As a one-year-old, she really likes to have other dogs to play with. Claudio likes dogs and takes good care of them. He is very creative, as you can see by his place, and it shows up in his care of the pups. I would recommend him, and I hope to use him again in the future.
I absolutely loved Cheyenne. She consistently sent pics and videos to me. I could see that Bailey was very happy. He didn't want to come home with me. I was able to enjoy my vacation, knowing that Bailey was in very good hands with Cheyenne. Bailey loves her and so do I. I will definitely book with Cheyenne again. I don't think I would trust Bailey with anyone else but Cheyenne! Thank you so much for caring for my baby!
Dakota's stay was for 12 days and Shruti and Robyn did a fantastic job. They care for her as if Dakota is their own pet and Dakota is always excited to see Shruti and Robyn. It is reassuring to know Dakota will receive excellent care, especially on extended trips.
