“Lucia did such an amazing job taking care of Honey! There’s not very many people that can love on your pup as much as you do. But throughout Honey’s stay I got multiple photos and videos daily showing all the love and fun she was having. She has two dogs herself, and they all got along well. I am absolutely taking Honey back when I need dog sitting again!! Thank you Lucia!!!”
“Stefanile is a great sitter. She was incredibly accommodating and patient in dealing with my dog—a rather shy, introverted, and somewhat challenging dog. Given her deep understanding of canine personalities and traits, as well as her extensive experience as a sitter, I was able to entrust Chaco to her care with peace of mind. She sent updates and photos, making communication very easy. Thank you!”
“Patrick was an amazing host for our dog, Scooby. He put me at ease in our pre-host meet up by walking me through his approach and showing me his beautiful backyard and wonderful dog. During Scooby’s stay I received daily pictures and texts to reassure me the Scooby was having a great time. We drove 40 mins to have Patrick host Scooby and It was definitely worth the commute.”
“Peter watched our 16 mo old Irish setter Newton in Aug 2019. Our foremost concern was separation anxiety so it was critical that Newt be well-exercised everyday. He went on lengthy daily runs with Peter. To alleviate boredom & loneliness there were also two other dogs around to entertain Newt via boxing & wrestling matches around the clock. We returned to pick up a surprisingly relaxed puppy who was well-brushed, minimally dusty , & extremely buff from so much physical activity. We are happy to endorse Peter as a Rover.com caregiver especially since he clearly demonstrated understanding the emotional & physical needs of our beloved pet.”
“Nadia & Liam took such great care of our pups! My husband and I are very picky about who watch our French Bulldogs, so we were very hesitant at first to try out Rover. But after meeting Nadia and Liam we felt very comfortable leaving our pups with them. They were very responsive and easy to communicate with. They truly put us at ease while we were out of town. They had a great space for the dogs to run around and explore, which the dogs were loving! They sent daily updates, pictures and videos of the dogs which we looked forward to everyday. It was so comforting knowing our dogs were in such great hands. We will definitely be booking with Nadia & Liam again!”
“Kushram exceeded our expectations while boarding our three-year-old French Bulldog, Wizzy, over the holidays. We were understandably nervous about leaving Wizzy with an unfamiliar family for an extended 17-day stay, especially since it was her first time being boarded. Kushram immediately put us at ease by inviting us to a meet-and-greet before the boarding began. We had the pleasure of meeting his family, visiting their lovely home, and seeing the environment where Wizzy would be staying. This experience helped us build trust right from the start. Throughout our 17-day vacation, Kushram consistently sent videos and photos, along with thoughtful updates on Wizzy’s health and well-being. He was incredibly responsive via text and conversations, always replying within the hour. When we picked Wizzy up, all of her belongings were beautifully cleaned, organized, and packed—nothing missing, which we truly appreciated. Overall, the service was top-tier. We are deeply grateful to Kushram and his family for taking such great care of Wizzy, and we would absolutely work with him again.”
“Shirley is the best! We went on an international trip and Shirley made us so comfortable and connected to our sweet girl while we were so far away! We so appreciate her pictures/videos and the individual attention she is able to show our small dog. Thanks Shirley!”
“Thank you very much Julie and Adam for Mollie's wonderful "Spring Break." We knew she's in good hands as we dropped her off. We really appreciate your daily updates with pictures of Mollie. You are the best!”
“Starlee is always nervous with new people and animals. I can tell Natalie cares a lot and did a great job making her feel comfortable. When I came to pick her up she was a lot more relaxed and happy. I will definitely be using her services again.”
“Banksy had an amazing time at Luna's and loved playing with Jim. I felt extremely comfortable leaving Banksy with Luna, based on the questions she asked about Banksy, her attention to detail about his needs and safety, and just her kind warm personality! I loved the pictures each day. I wholeheartedly recommend Luna and will definitely be having her watch Banksy again!”
“My 13 year old cocker spaniel has a list of issues a mile long with anxiety needing particularly extra care recently. Jeanette and Abraham were as concerned as I was and we worked so cooperatively to care for Berri. We have loved our stays with this boarding family now over a number of years and recommend them with gratitude.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities for 15 years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, play with, and care for their pets while away. I’m patient, attentive, active, and genuinely love animals. I understand the importance of making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I love taking dogs on hikes and to the beach as well. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week and on weekends. I enjoy staying active, spending time outdoors, and making sure pets get the care, attention, exercise, and companionship they need to feel happy and comfortable. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving, and attentive environment and always follow the owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding, routines, medications, walks, and special care needs. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior and body language to ensure they feel safe, secure, and well cared for at all times.
“Allen and his family did a great job taking care of my dog for our long vacation. They make drop-off easy and communicate well and send lots of fun pics and videos. She has stayed with Allen before, and is happy to see the family when I bring her again. I feel confident that she will be safe and have a good time there.”
“Karen did an excellent job taking care of our dog Lola. She was really easy to communicate with, made Lola feel totally at home and provided a bunch of pictures. Lola was in a great mood when I picked her up and had clearly been well taken care of. Will be booking with Karen again in the future!”
“Maria & Kevan along with their wonderful girls were amazing petsitters for our Labrador Retreiver, Louie. From the moment I dropped off Louie and met them, I could tell he was going to be completely comfortable, well-cared for, and loved for the duration of his 10 day stay with their family. Receiving a photo or two of Louie each day was amazing and it was heartwarming to see Louie so happy getting lots of snuggles, playtime with his toys, neighborhood walks, and peaceful naps at their feet. Thank you so much to Maria & Kevan and their daughters for making Louie feel like a part of their family! Louie can't wait to visit again!”
“I am so grateful to have found Allison in such short notice! She was amazing in getting back to me and literally providing the best service ever! She literally went above and beyond for us in our time of need and I am so grateful for that! She made sure our babies were well taken care of while we were going through labor with our second baby! She was on call and ready to go when we needed her! I will always trust her with my doggies! Thank you again for being amazing and helping out when we really needed it!”
“First time using Rover and I couldn’t have been happier picking Connie! She’s super friendly, very responsive and sends updates regularly. I will definitely be using her for upcoming vacations. I highly recommend her!”
“Sally and her daughters were great with my 1 year old puppy. They treated Oreo like he was their own pet! He loved his stay with them. The photos and video she sent are proof! He got plenty of exercise and lots of love!”

Had an absolutely amazing experience having Amanda and Michell watch our Lucy. We’d never left a pet with strangers before, and they couldn’t have made the process more comfortable. Amanda sent daily photos and a brief note on what they did that day. Lucy got to go on many long walks and hikes, and really became part of their family. At the end of her stay, we received a report card on Lucy’s behavior, which was the cutest thing ever. Without hesitation, I’d use Amanda and Michell again, and highly recommend them to anyone needing a pet sitter.
Malia was awesome! Friendly, energetic and loving. It was obvious my Arlo had a great time during his vacay w/ Malia and her adorable 5yr old (?) little guy. Malia’s pick up & drop off was seamless. My fairly energetic pup Got his fill of belly rubs, playtime and upon his return would continue to run to Malia , flipping on his back as if to say “Come on, one more bellyrub”. Thank you Malia for the pics and for taking great care of our Arlo!
