“We couldn’t have asked for better care for Kiko! Megan and Jenny were so flexible, thoughtful, and sent us lots of updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. Kiko was clearly in great hands — we’re so grateful and would absolutely recommend them to anyone!”
“We loved our stay with Karen! The communication was very clear and quick, and Karen did a great job giving our pup a safe, structured stay with plenty of playing and time in the sun. :-)”
“Alexandra took great care of our dog Rocky while we traveled! She sent daily updates and videos, which we looked forward to every day. We would definitely use her again in the future!”
“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!”
“If I could give Kelly SIX or SEVEN stars, I would! Our dog absolutely loves her. Her attention to detail, caring demeanor and genuine love for dogs shines through in everything she does. Her philosophy is that a stay at her house is like a vacation for our puppy, too. She is the best.”
“Alexis provided excellent daycare for Roxer today. She kept him engaged and active, sent cute photo updates throughout the day, and he came home tired and happy. Roxer most definitely enjoyed his time and I will definitely use Alexis again for daycare needs!”
“Mary is truly attentive to the needs of our pup, sending photos and updates often. I always feel very well-assured and comfortable knowing Xander is in Mary's care. I trust her 100% with our dog. 10/10, would definitely recommend!!”
“Benito was well cared for and happy during his stay. Isaac and Jordan followed the care guide we provided and sent frequent updates. Definitely rebooking when the need comes up Thanks again!”
“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.”
“Lily was super flexible and accommodating with our uncertain dates for care, communicative throughout the process and stay, and our little bichon came back happy, well fed and well exercised!”
“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.”
“The hype about Sara is 10000% true!!! I left my baby boy with her for 2 weeks after only having him for 2 months, and though I missed him, I never had a moment of worry because I knew he was in the very best of hands (and paws) with her and Soba!! Sara kept me updated very regularly and sent me such wonderful photos. She's a super transparent and effective communicator, and obviously has a special touch with dogs. My pup had so much fun playing, adventuring, cuddling and relaxing with her! She really went above and beyond in terms of being so attentive, working with his training, and making sure he had a super enriching time while I was away. I'm so grateful that she took the best care of him. As long as Sara's available I will never consider another sitter!”
“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.”
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.
“Jennifer took great care of my 6 year old dachshund, Winston while I was on vacation for a week. He can be a bit of an anxious boy so I really appreciated all the updates and photos she sent. She had a good handful of other dogs there, but sounds like she did a great job to make sure everyone got along and was comfy!”
“Tara was super kind and accommodating to me and my dog, Frieda had just had surgery and was in a vulnerable place and Tara was communicative and worked with me last minute to make sure to Frieda got the care she needed. Very grateful for your kindness and great care!💛”
“Charlene was great. She sent updates throughout the day which gave me peace of mind. Hobbes was having so much fun that he wanted to go back inside. I highly recommend Charlene.”

Aimee E.
“Aimee is an absolute gem! I’ve had the pleasure of working with her as an assistant for the past year and a half, caring for dogs in daycare and boarding. Without a doubt, she goes above and beyond to ensure the well-being of her furry clients. Leading with patient, fear-free engagement and positive reinforcement, Aimee works hard to ensure each dog feels confident, comfortable and cared for from the moment they step a paw through her front door. To cultivate a true home-away-from-home environment, she has set up her entire house to ensure the maximum comfort and accessibility for each of her Lucky Dog guests. Pups arrive each day with wagging tails and loads of excitement and leave content from a fun-filled day with friends of socializing, playtime, hikes, cuddles, treats, naps, belly rubs and so much more. At Lucky Dog Social Club, Aimee brings the whole package when it comes to caring for your pup—she will love them like her own and you can rest easy knowing they are in her hands…and her heart!”

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.
Inkoo was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of our dog Pancho—sending us daily updates with multiple photos and thoughtful notes that really put our minds at ease while we were away. She communicated clearly and consistently, and it was clear from the pictures that Pancho was happy, well cared for, and having a great time—especially at the dog parks she took him to! Inkoo is warm, reliable, and incredibly detail-oriented. We’re so grateful to have found her and will definitely consider her again for any future pet sitting needs.
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.
Claudia’s place was a wonderful home away from home for our little guy! He came home happy and healthy—and I loved the photos, videos, and messages she sent during our time away. I also really appreciated how easy communication was throughout our dog’s stay. Thank you, Claudia and family!
I can’t say enough great things about Xiajun! They took such amazing care of my dog while I was away—keeping him well-fed, walked, and most importantly, happy. Their flexibility was a huge help with my unpredictable schedule, and they were incredibly considerate, always checking in and making sure my pup’s needs came first. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. Highly recommend Xiajun to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter!
My dog Winston had a lovely stay with Tiffany & Lauren! Winston is a bit of a grumpy old man and a real couch potato, and he got along really well with their dog Guapa. I wanted him to have a mellow place to stay while I was away, and their place was the perfect getaway. They sent some pictures of him throughout the stay, which I really loved!
Ingrid was an excellent sitter for our dog, Kip. We are so lucky to have found her. Ingrid (and her partner Vini) sent photos almost every day, and kept us up to date on how Kip was doing. We felt so reassured that he was being well looked after. I wouldn't hesitate to ask Ingrid to look after Kip again!
