“It was our first time boarding our 3 ½ year old Rat-Chi and we couldn’t have been happier to find Mariana. We knew our dog would have separation anxiety and Mariana and her husband Mark were such a comfort to our dog Ernie…and to my husband Bert who also had his own separation anxiety ;). Ernie had a blast meeting her corgis as well as the other dogs whom she was dog sitting that week. He paws-itively loved being part of her pack! She gave us updates and sent photos throughout his 9-day stay. Mariana’s love for dogs of all shapes, sizes and demeanor make her a rare gem. To Ernie, they are friends fur-ever.”
“We booked Mario for the first time/new clients. We liked his boarding care. He was great ! We met him prior to booking to get acquainted with him and for our dog to get to know him. My beagle got a lot with him well . Mario sent me a daily report and pictures . I felt at ease during our time away from our family puppy. I have already recommend Mario to our friends and family. With that said, I would definitely book with Mario again.”
“I’ve had one bad experience with rover and I swore to never use it again but Cooper and Nora changed my mind. I booked with them very last minute and they responded within a few minutes! Showing up to the house the environment seemed so friendly and safe and I’m so thankful for that. Cooper and Nora gave my puppy the time and attention and fun he needed all while sending me pictures as an update! And even gave my baby breezy a bath before I picked him up. I highly recommend this family if anyone needs a trustworthy and kind dog sitter :) thank you Cooper and Nora for making my second experience with Rover way better than my last!”
“We couldn't be happier with the care Skilly received! From the moment we dropped her off, it was clear she was in great hands. They made Skilly feel comfortable, loved, and right at home, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We received updates and could tell she was being treated like part of the family. When we picked her up, she was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Thank you for taking such amazing care of Skilly. We will absolutely be using your services again and highly recommend you to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”
“Ellen was fantastic, she responded promptly and was flexible with my schedule. She took great care of my cat Nalla while I was away. She even had a whole room set up for cats to play and hangout. I would definitely recommend her for all your pet care needs.thanks again Ellen!”
“Kay and her husband are both great people. They are true dog lovers. I will not leave my best friend with just anyone, so I'm glad I found them. I've used their services twice (already booked a third), and both times they were accommodating and gave plenty of amazing updates with pictures. Both times I came to pick my buddy up he was happy and relaxed. When I dropped him off the second time, he was really excited so I know he enjoys his stays. I will be entrusting the care of my friend to them for my future trips (I can only hope their schedule doesn't get packed, since everyone keeps leaving stellar reviews ?).”
“Amanda and her family were great! Archie had 2 doodles and 3 kids to play with. Amanda was very responsive when we texted and sent cute pics of Archie enjoying his time with her family. He is pretty attached to us and can be nervous so we really appreciated the updates on how he was adjusting. Next time we go out of town we will definitely book with Amanda again!”
“Bethany was a lifesaver! We needed last-minute care, and she responded right away and met with us quickly to make it happen. Rezzi instantly got along with her sweet pup, Momo, and I received daily photo updates that kept me at ease. Bethany works from home, has a small backyard for playtime, and made sure Rezzi got her daily walks. Rezzi came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I would definitely book with Bethany again!”
“Peace of mind. We contacted Paola to be the sitter of our 2 puppies while my wife is attending a 3 day conference in Las Vegas. We completely have a peace knowing that Paola have the heart and kindness taking care of our puppies. She keep us posted with photos of our puppies and how they were doing. She provided a home for them and a peace of mine for us. Excellent service and highly recommended!”
About: I've taken care of dogs my whole life, but developed a love for it at 12. I've cared for many dogs from friends and family throughout the years, including our family dog. I'm comfortable and familiar with feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, bathing, giving meds, and giving lots of love and attention! I'm responsible, patient, and attentive and my goal is to always keep them comfortable, happy, and healthy! Am currently unemployed, so open schedule! Available for all needs including drop ins, walks, pet sitting, etc. Will update when my schedule becomes more full! I take pet safety very seriously and will always make sure pets are secure and comfortable. I’m very attentive to their habits, moods, and needs. I’ll make sure they always have plenty of food & water, love, and attention. I follow each owner's instructions and schedule and keep a close eye on pets. If pet sitting, I always keep the environment clean and organized and always supervise. When on walks, I always take precautions and stay alert for any situation, and follow any instructions if given and will always keep you updated. Safety is always no. 1 priority! I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, so I always treat & love them like my own.
“My Teddy Bear enjoyed his stay at Amber's house! He had a ball running around in her big, fenced in backyard and playing with her two girls! Teddy also enjoyed a nature walk! Amber's home is comfortable and she provided a very nice stay for my pup. She even gave me fresh eggs from her chickens! I highly recommend Amber and would not hesitate to use her again!”
“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!”
“10 ⭐️ stars if I could ! You’ll be so happy to have Daniella care for your animals . She is AMAZING! Daniella carries an intuitive , loving, compassionate , confidence with animals. She is so understanding, detailed oriented . I have a rescue who is very shy and has separation anxiety . Daniella knew exactly how to care for him. I got updates, pictures and she reassured me as well ! If you need a reliable loving animal caretaker , she’s your go to ! Thanks so much Daniella ! We both appreciate you 🩷”
“Rajarshi is absolutely amazing! He watched our dog like as if he was his own child! He sent us regular updates with pictures and videos of what our dog was doing during the day! Gave him 3-4 walks during the day, played with him and took such great care of him! We will always leave our dog with Rajarshi! Rajarshi’s background and experience in fostering dogs makes him one of the most experienced & well rounded pet sitter who you can trust blindfoldedly! I would say that anyone and everyone can trust him with their pets! I wish I could give him 10 stars ⭐️ but 5 is the maximum we can give so giving him 5 stars!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: About 3 years ago, I moved to California specifically to live with a close friend who had just become a flight attendant to help take care of her two dogs and two cats while she was away for work. Since she traveled often, I became a big part of their everyday care… feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, keeping them company, and of course giving them lots of love. I even took them to a little trip with me to Joshua tree, which they enjoyed very much! One of her cats also had asthma, so I learned to be extra attentive to her needs and helped with taking her to vet appointments when needed. I’ve also helped other friends with house sitting, dog walking, and caring for their pets while they were away or out of town. I genuinely love animals and know how important it is to have someone you trust taking care of your fur babies. I’ll always make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and get plenty of love and attention while you’re away 🤍🐾 I may be new to Rover, but caring for pets has been a big part of my life for the last few years, and I’d love to care for yours too! I do work full-time in the hotel industry as a front desk supervisor, and do 8-hour shifts. My schedule varies throughout the week, but I’m available before and after work, on my days off, and for drop-ins or walks. For house sitting, I’m happy to stay overnight and care for your fur baby before and after my shift. I’ll always be upfront about my schedule so we can make sure it’s the right fit for your pet! I know every fur baby has their own personality and routine, so I like to learn what makes them feel most comfortable before you leave. Whether that means a specific feeding schedule, their favorite walking route, extra playtime, or just having someone nearby to keep them company, I’m happy to follow their normal routine. I’m also very respectful of your home and will always make sure doors are locked, instructions are followed, and everything is left just as I found it. I’m happy to send pictures and little updates too, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your fur baby is doing well!
“We had such a wonderful experience with Annette! She took amazing care of our sweet baby Kenji over the weekend. From the start, she made us feel completely at ease with frequent updates, photos, and videos. She truly went the extra mile to make sure Kenji felt comfortable, safe, and loved while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Erika watched my 2 dogs for 4 days and she was wonderful! My dogs had a fabulous time! She fed them all my special food and also sent pictures. They came home very happy! I highly recommend Erika and I will Definitely use her again!”
“Chris is the most incredible dog sitter I have ever worked with! He has a very calming and gentle energy about him. He lives in a safe and secure building and was really great about giving us updated of our dog and also sending pictures during his stay with him. Our dog had absolutely fallen in love with him and was eager to literally give him a hug before coming back home with us. We love and appreciate, Chris- you and your dog will too! We 1,000,000% recommend him!”
“Cayley was fantastic!!! Not only did she take our reservation super last minute, she really went above and beyond taking our dog in hikes and providing all the snuggles my Velcro dog craves. Can’t thank you enough Cayley. Mina will definitely be missing you and your family.”

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Ojai home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
