“Chelsea was amazing! She was able to take our Lucy on short notice and loved her like she was her own. She gave her lots of attention and made sure that we knew she was well cared for through pictures and videos. I highly recommend her services!”

About: I have had animals my whole life and had dogs for the past 17 years. One of my biggest stressors was finding a loving, caring, responsible dog sitter for our dogs while we travelled. Keeping our dogs out of kennels was important especially as they aged. We turned to Rover when we moved to California 2 years ago and found the most amazing dog sitter who loved our girl with her whole heart! Sadly we just lost our 14 year old lab a few months ago and lost her sister a 15 year old lab 2 years ago. Our house is way to quiet without a dog right now. We are currently looking to rescue another lab but in the meantime I would love to help look after your furry family member! Since our dogs live long lives I have a lot of experience in caring for senior dogs from administering medicine and supplements to short walks, helping them in and out of the car and lots of cuddle time. For those more energetic dogs I like to go on long walks in the morning and would love a doggie companion. Our neighborhood is very dog oriented and at around 4pm all the doggies walk together and have some social time. Recently I have been helping out my friends and neighbors with dog sitting and dog walking and would love to help you out too! My husband and I are empty nesters so all of my love and energy goes into looking after your dog. I'm at home all the time so your dog will have lots of love and attention and for those senior dogs lots of potty breaks and outside time if needed. I'm currently not working so I am home most of the time except for doing some errands or going to the gym. Your dog will get an 45-60 minute walk in the morning (shorter if needed) and another walk in the afternoon. I have a fenced in yard so there is lots of opportunity for play time as well. I always liked to keep my dogs on a routine for feeding and walking so they know what to expect daily! There is lots of time in my day for cuddles! I have a large fenced in yard to keep your dog safe. Your dog will only be outside while I am home and will never be left outside while I am away from the house. If needed your dog can be crated while left alone for short periods or at night. I have 2 dogs beds but if you prefer to bring your own then that is great! My home is mostly all one level with the exception of 2 stairs leading to a sunken living room, ideal for senior dogs.

“Thank you so much to Misty and her family who took care of my senior schnoodle for 4 nights! My pup seemed very relaxed and happy when I came to visit and I heard she enjoyed spending time with the kids. Misty gave my dog her meds and sent me photos. I was able to enjoy my retreat knowing she was in great hands.”

“Cooper and Nora were quick to respond, kept us updated on our Mardi girl, and took her on adventures during her stay! Couldn't have felt more comfortable leaving our dog with this family. Will be using their boarding services again. Thank you!”

“We had a wonderful experience booking with Kalia. She was always quick to respond to booking requests, messages, and was very understanding when we had to cancel a different booking due to a change in plans. She sent regular updates and pictures of our boy and I could tell he was having a great visit with her and her two goldens. She put our mind at ease as this was our first time booking through Rover. We had used boarding facilities in the past and our boy would come back overstimulated and often with tummy issues, but it was not the case when he stayed with Kalia. We will definitely book with her again next time!”

“It was difficult leaving our 2 fur babies for the first time. Todd and Rona’s energy was perfect for our 2 Australian Shepherds and they were well taken care of. They have the perfect house and safe backyard to provide lots of exercise and play time. We also received daily updates and pics which eased our minds! We will be using Todd and Rona in the future!”

“Shannon was great and took really great care of Stormy! She gave us daily updates with a pick of our happy pup. Stormy got to go on walks everyday and even got to accompany Shannon on a couple outings! She has a great time! Thank you, Shannon!!!”

“Claudia did a wonderful, amazing job again caring for Luna for a long weekend. She sent me so many photos and updates and when I came to pick up Luna I could see how perfectly content she was in Claudia's home. Claudia and her husband gave Luna so much love and attention that she would have been happy to stay another week! It is truly a blessing to have such a caring, competent dog sitter!”

“Shaun took great care of our older dog, Rocky. She was attentive, giving him all the cuddles he wanted, and he adjusted nicely to the surroundings. She was very concerned about him, making sure he got all his meds, and feedings as per our (voluminous) instructions. We would definitely have Rocky stay with her the next time we travel.”

“Mariana and her family make your pet feel at home. She asks for and follows your dog's diet and activity instructions. My dog still has plenty of puppy energy but Mariana kept her engaged and walked her frequently. I will definitely use Mariana's and Rover services again. My dog was returned to me happy and clean nd healthy.”

“Catherine took care of my senior dog Lovie this weekend while I was out of town for a funeral. She immediately made me feel comfortable leaving my little girl with her during this emotional time. She sent me pictures while I was gone, of my doggie on a walk and also of her sleeping peacefully. I would absolutely use her services again and will the next time I need it. I highly recommend her.”
