1. Susannah & Richard D.

“Susannah and Richard were so kind and great to work with! They took excellent care of our nervous dog during a holiday, allowing us to spend valuable time with family, which we really appreciated. They asked helpful questions to make sure they could provide the best care for our dog, and they made sure to take him out for walks and give him lots of good attention. We are so glad we met them, and would definitely recommend them to anyone!”


2. Heather & Calob James D.

“Heather and Calob are so awesome! I’m so glad to have found them to watch our two pups. They are so flexible, responsive and easy to coordinate with. They were great about sending photos too. And our pups sure loved them. Looking forward many more stays in the future!”


3. Mollie C.


“Mollie took great care of my pets during my KOA visit. She had them for 2 day sessions of doggy daycare. She was an excellent communicator. She was flexible, and easy to work with. Mollie sent pics and video of my pups. Her home has loads of space for many dogs. She has the ability to separate dogs into large fenced areas if needed. I highly recommend Mollie.”


4. Robyn N.

“Robyn provides so much specialized care and attention to her pet clients. We always know Lulu is getting the best care when she’s with Robyn and Jojo.”


5. Kozue I.

“Kozue hosted my dog over their home for doggy day care various days by now and we will keep coming back! I trust that my dog is in good hands when she's over Kozue's home. She gets to sunbathe and walk in the secure gated yard to smell around. I think my dog wishes she lived there ; )”


6. Steven M.
“Steven has been great sitter for my German Shepard Dante. He has watched Dante multiple times and one of the few sitters I would trust to leave him with. Highly recommend!”


7. Xi & Yohanas F.
“Blair and Yohan dog sat for our 3 year old corgi, Eevee for about 2 weeks. Blair did a wonderful job taking care of her and always checked in by sending pictures of their day. She would ask clarifying questions to make sure Eevee was getting the best care possible. Blair would also make sure to introduce their dog Mochi slowly in the beginning to make sure they got along. They quickly became the best of friends and had a blast playing together everyday. It was such a relief knowing that our fur baby was in good hands and the pictures and videos we got made us feel less anxious about leaving her for so long! We definitely recommend Blair and will look forward to having her watch Eevee again in the future.”


8. Jestina C.

“Just visiting the area and super grateful to have found Jestina so I could attend an event. She loved my energetic boxer mix as if she were her own. I appreciated the updates, pix and video, and also the warm interest she took in my own life too! (Sometimes the dogs get all the attention!) Highly recommend and will use again when in town! Thank you, Jestina!”


9. Shayla & Jacob T.

“Thanks for the urgent request! I planned everything for Napa trip but didn’t plan for the weather! It was sooooo hot and I’m glad my tour called my ahead of the time saying it would be too hot for doggies. So I had to text all daycare sitters at 11:30 pm and see their availability. Thanks god that Shayla was responding at that time and now I have Murphy by my side, happy and sleepy! I’m so fortunate to have searched Shayla! Thanks!”


10. Judy T.

“Judy did a wonderful job with our Sunshine. She had the extra pressure of dealing with two dogs who were unfamiliar with each other. Because of Judy we were able to enjoy day at the Safari while on vacation.”

About: I took a break from Rover while I was living in Australia, but we're back in the US now and I'd love to take care of your dog! About me... I love taking care of dogs! I grew up with dogs (and cats) and, always loved the quality time I spent with them; from walking together, cuddling, to playing, dogs have always played an important part of my life. My husband and I rescued a dog 3 years ago, and he is our "fur baby". He absolutely LOVES other dogs and is always looking for a playmate. My style: I am playful and fun with dogs. I am empathetic of the fact that you are allowing me to spend time with your loving family member and, I treat them with the utmost respect and love. I hope to use Rover to develop not only regulars but, also relationships with each dog (and their family) that I meet. Working from home allows for seamless integration of pet care into my daily routine. I schedule breaks around feeding and walking times, ensuring my furry companion's needs are met. For social dogs, we have a very friendly rescue dog Riggs, who is a 15 pound mini poodle shih tzu mix. I prioritize the safety and well-being of every pet I care for. In my home, I offer a secure and comfortable environment with toys and cozy spots for relaxation. I provide fresh water always, and food according to the pet's dietary needs. We have a large fenced backyard that all dogs have access to as they please (the door remains open for them to go in and out, except at night when it's dark). During walks, I use a secure leash and harness/collar and pay close attention to their surroundings. When caring for pets, I follow their specific instructions for feeding, medication, and any other routines. I also prioritize open communication with clients, keeping them updated on the pet's well-being throughout the day if they choose.


12. Ethan M.

“Ethan is amazing! He works so well my with 9 month old Golden Retriever Sunshine! She is a handful to deal with and every time I drop her off there is such a positive difference in her behavior. He keeps the line of communication open and kept me posted on her behavior while in his care. He always sent me photos of her so I always knew she was in good hands. I really appreciated the one on one time he spent with her. He has taken her on hikes to Mission Peak and also to Baylands Nature Preserve! He gives my pup tons of exercise. A tired pup is a happy pup!! He goes above and beyond to make sure my pup is well taken care of! He continues to provide me with different training techniques with my fur baby. He has a genuine love for dogs and I will recommend him to anyone. He deserves 10 ⭐️‘s!!”


13. Audrey P.

“Audrey was great! My shy Piper did well under her care. The house is a nice place for doggies and her children are darling and respectful to the new additions. This was a Day Care stay while I visited family.”




14. Mariana P.


“I'm so happy to have found Mariana. She happily welcomed my 2 doxies and I could tell from our meet n greet that they were a great match..Her knowledge and tips put me at ease and I knew from my pups tuckered state that they enjoyed their time there. Thank you Mariana. We'll definitely see you again.”


15. Diana S.
About: I am a mature adult female living in Rohnert park, CA. I have had a multitude of pets in my lifetime, including; dogs, cats, birds and once I even had a plucky little monkey! I currently live in a 2-bedroom pet friendly apartment with a nice size patio. My cat, Kitchy, passed away recently from old age, and I miss him terribly. Fortunately, my daughter lives nearby with two high energy male dogs, both around 50 lbs each, whom I walk and sit for often. When the boys stay with me, they get a minimum of 3 walks per day and yummy treats. My home is located behind a large school with a ton of grass, a dog park, and a variety of walking trails. I’m great with most temperaments and levels of energy, and flexible with the type of activity we do (though I won’t be doing any running myself). I prefer to care for pets under 60 lbs. I am a real animal lover and would love the opportunity to care for your furry family member!




16. Ria B.

“Ria is awesome! In addition to being loved right away by our slightly anxious pup and being a dog whisperer with him, she was helpful with recommendations for navigating the construction road chaos of the area. Highly recommend!”


17. Marci H.
“Marci is a wonderful pet sitter. She took wonderful care of my dog. She took her on Walks, car rides and she treated her like she was Own dog. I will definitely be calling on Marci to take care of her again.”


18. Cooper & Derek N.

“Cooper and Derek take such great care of Jo! I love how they share updates and photos throughout the day, and Jo loves the fun day, playtime with their pup, and lots of cuddles!”


19. Francoise C.


“Fran was amazing with Chewie. She was always sending me pictures and giving me lots of updates. She even gave him a bath which was really above and beyond. She was my first dog sitter and I will continue to utilize her amazing services. Definitely recommend, hands down! I’m super thankful for her.”


20. Shannon M.

“Having known Shannon most of her life, I've seen firsthand her inherent reverence for ALL animals. If she were to be responsible for yours, there is no doubt she would treat them as her own with love, respect, and extra attention to their specific needs. When I've left my fur babies in her care, I'm assured they will be safe, loved, and possibly spoiled ;) ”
