“Dan is very accommodating and friendly. You can tell he and his family have love for animals. Our dogs easily joined his pack and we felt very comfortable leaving our babies with him. We are very grateful for him and booked another day. Grizzly and Bentley were very happy!”


“Morgan is absolutely terrific! And her dog Attitcus is also a good playmate too! Morgan is very communicative— she provides tons of updates (both in photos and in writing) so that you know your pup is in good hands! She’s very responsive in her messages throughout the day. You’re never left wondering how your little furry is doing. She’s very flexible with dropoff and pickup times. She cares about your dog and its wellbeing in that it’s having a fun time at her place. She even dealt superbly with a surprise diarrhea situation that our puppy had. I’d highly recommend Morgan to others!”


“We are so grateful for Karla! She responded within an hour of us reaching out after arriving in town and kindly accommodated our pup Benny last minute. She took such great care of him, sent us adorable pictures, and even let him play with her sweet dog. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was happy and cared for while we were in town for our daughter’s soccer tournament. We feel so lucky to have found Karla and would absolutely recommend her!”


About: We are a family of 5 with 2 loving and playful dogs of our own. Your doggie will be cared for as if it were our own. I work from home and have plenty of time to care for your love ones. Your love one will have lots of play time, potty breaks and extra snuggles from our boys. Our home has a big fenced backyard with plenty of space for your furry baby to play in. We also have 2 indoor crates for napping. Your pet will be provided with a fun, peaceful and safe environment.

“Rebekah is great! She accommodated our work schedule and was able to watch our dog earlier than previously expected on short notice. She is very communicative and treats our dog like her own!”


About: Hello! I have trained puppies and dogs for basic obedience and shows for 15 years. I started as a mentee at 9 with a certified show dog runner and trainer for 1.5 years and started training my neighbor’s dogs as practice. I have since started boarding various pets throughout college up until now. As a pet owner, I know just how important it is to find the right person to care for and be responsible for our family members - I’m definitely that person and will ensure the upmost respect for you and your pets! I like to give my clients and their pets the time to get to know me and feel like they’re making the right choice. I like to keep everything transparent and open for discussion. I live in a large two-story home with a fenced backyard and plenty of running space. I believe in lots of mental and physical stimulation to keep all animals in my care happy and healthy. I work from home at the moment so I have a very flexible schedule. I like to get 10k steps a day for my own health and make it a point to go for a 2 hour walk a day and love having a companion there with me :) My home is pet proofed from any toxic plants, food is kept out of reach, and my home is treated for pests and fleas monthly. I also have dog gates in case I ever need to section a part of the home off. I don’t like to use dog crates in my home and like to let pets have a lot of freedom and space to feel their most comfortable.

“Monica is so good with my puppy Emma, she didn’t want to leave Monica’s home! Emma is very young, which is enough work by itself, but Monica is even helping to train her! We feel so lucky to have found Monica.”


“Emma had a great time at Patricia's house. She was very relaxed and happy when I picked her up. Patricia lives a very short drive from the Costa Mesa Fairgrounds so if you are attending an all-day event there and don't want to have to worry about leaving your furry friend to fend for themselves all day, I highly recommend leaving your pet with Patricia. She is knowledgeable about dogs and very conscientious, having gone the extra mile to ensure that Emma was not able to get to any other animal's food (since Emma has food allergies). Patricia also texted me pics during the day of Emma enjoying her walk, which further helped to make my day more enjoyable by putting my mind at ease. I will not hesitate to book with Patricia again the next time I'm in the area!”


“We have taken our pup, Cooper, to Tommy multiple times now for daycare and are so happy with the care he’s received each time. Cooper is always happy to see him at drop off. We appreciate that Tommy provided updates about Cooper’s day especially the first couple of times, to help put our mind at ease. Would definitely recommend Tommy’s services!”


“Marsha is the absolute best! From the time we inquired about her services through the end of our dogs’s stay, Marsha made us feel comfortable and confident that our dog would be well-taken care of! She was so attentive and understanding to our dog’s unique personality, gave frequent updates, and truly made our dog feel at home. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter/environment for our dog. We will absolutely be repeat customers!”


“Jennifer and her crew were absolutely amazing with Mr Admiral. He had so much from playing with gunner and her little! From the constant communication throughout the day, the wonderful pictures and videos she loaded us with. To her following up and making sure everything went to our satisfaction with his puppy care. We've been on this app for a little short of 3 months and theyve been such a breath of fresh air. Do not hesitate to leave your critters with Jennifer, you will not regret it! We look forward to booking with you again in the future”


About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life. From our family pets, to finally getting my own almost 20 years ago! I now have 2 rescue dogs. I am experienced with high maintenance medical needs, as well as high energy pups. I am the go to babysitter & walker for my friends and friends of friends! I foster and volunteered through a local shelter many different dogs all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. I grew up with English Mastiffs, so big dogs don’t intimidate me at all! I love every dog I meet! My most commonly used phrase is definitely, “Can I say hi to your dog?” :) Dog sitting/walking is my only gig right now, and I am a mom to my kiddo full time. My schedule is very flexible, with lots of weekday availability, and some weekend availability, too! I have two friendly rescue dogs of my own (one medium-large mix, one pocket beagle), and love to walk them or take them to our on-property dog park!

“Nichole was able to take my dog for a day visit on short notice. Her dog was very sweet and very excited to meet me and my dog. Nichole replied to all my messages promptly and was accommodating when my pickup time changed. My dog seemed happy and tired when I picked her up, so seems like she had a fun day!”


“She took great care of my Murphy. Sent tons of photos and videos throughout the day and it looked like he was having a good time. I was concerned about other dogs bullying him at the last daycare and Stephanie listened to my concerns and assured me of her diligence. I am so happy we found her!”


“It was my dog’s first time staying with other dogs. But Aileen made sure they get along by meet and greet. She was updating me with frequent photos and gave a piece of mind! She was very cooperative on scheduling a pickup and a drop off! Glad our fur baby had a good time with her family! I will definitely come back to her next time!”

Republic Homes dog parents share their Rover experiences
Liana was the perfect sitter for our Stevie girl. Since she already has a sweet pup of her own, we didn’t worry at all because we knew she would know how to take care of our dog in terms of feeding, heat sensitivity, bathroom breaks etc. She has a big yard for the dogs to run around in and I would 100% recommend her to anyone!

Tobi had a great time with Marisela for doggy day care. He felt comfortable right away with her and had a great time meeting and interacting with her dog. Tobi got to go to the park and have a lot of fun with Marisela and her pup. Marisela was very proactive about asking questions regardinf how to care for Tobi. She was great at communicating and sent pictures of Tobi throughout his stay. Thank you, Marisela, for taking great care of Tobi.

I contacted Chelsey for a last-minute doggy stay request. She replied right away, asked all the right questions, and we were set up within 10 minutes. During the stay, she sent me updates and photos which were much appreciated. She took great care of our pup and we would recommend her to anyone!

I was in town for a conference and my girls didn’t want to stay alone in the room so I needed a last minute booking. Julian was quick to response and answered my questions promptly. Truly a life saver. He was able to pick up my girls and was attentive to my details. Even if last minute I am so happy I got to find Julian last minute.

Tiffany took great care of Bumi! She has a sweet, playful dog who got along well with Bumi. He can be pretty shy and homesick, but he adjusted quickly and even felt comfortable enough to snuggle up next to her which doesn’t happen often. She gave frequent text, photo and video updates. I really appreciated her gentle, friendly approach and will be booking again soon. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Bumi!

Haley is THE best sitter ever!! She takes such good care of my pup, she’s super communicative and sends updates of how the day is going which I love getting while I’m at work. My dog lovesss her and it’s so relieving knowing he’s in such good hands. We love Haley!!! :)
