“This was my first time using Rover and I couldn’t be happier. Grisel was kind and listened to me as I shared Dori’s needs. Her home is set up well for taking care of pets. I received pics throughout Dori’s stay showing her doing some things I wasn’t sure she would do while in a strange place like eating. Grisel obviously has the “touch” to get her to feel comfortable. I will use Grisel again! Thank you Grisel.”
“My fur-child did well staying overnight with Lety. It had been about 6 months since he needed boarding again. My sweet boy was taken care with much love and care as always. My mind is always at ease knowing Niko is with Lety.”

“Sade is great and responded to a last minute request. She was communicative, and she responses very quickly. Her home is organized and clean, and her two fur babies are adorable. Trina stayed with her for one night and was well taken care of. I would come back again, thanks Sade!”

“We had a wonderful experience with Martha May while she boarded our dog, Loki. From the moment we connected, Martha was caring, kind, and incredibly communicative throughout his stay. She provided regular updates and thoughtful feedback, which gave us peace of mind and helped us better understand Loki's needs for future boarding visits. It was clear that Martha May genuinely cared about Loki's comfort and well-being, and he was well cared for during his time with her. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and willingness to share helpful observations made the experience exceptional. I highly recommend Martha May to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter. We would be happy to book with her again in the future!”

“Cedric was honestly one of the best sitters I have ever used on Rover! He was so flexible in drop off and pick up, communicated very well and gave my boy Nitro all the attention he needed. He treated my dog like a part of the family. I would 100% use Cedric again without a doubt!”

“She was incredibly responsive and easy to work with. Our puppy had a great time, and we loved all the photos and updates she shared. I would absolutely recommend her and would definitely book with her again.”

“Chelsi was great with my little guy. She was very communicative and responsive. I could tell my dog enjoyed his time at her house. I would book Chelsi again without hesitation”

“Erin was wonderful and was incredibly responsive, even before the booking began! She sent a daily picture and update of my pet, and was super accommodating as well. :) he had a blast!”

“Danielle was a fantastic host. She is a good communicator, very accommodating and overall just a delightful person. Cersei felt 100% comfortable staying with Danielle and had fun playing with her own pups as well.”

“Kazue was amazing! We left for a 7 day cruise with limited access to our phones. It was nice to come back to our phone with lots of pictures and updates about Potato. Being away from our dog for over a week, we knew he was in great care. Thank you!!”

“This is the second time I am using Tamara’s service . Chewy looked very happy and relaxed with Tamara and Teddy. Teddy taught her how to use doggy door 😊 I’ll definitely use Tamara in future . Thanks Tamara”

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I've cared for my own dogs as well as those belonging to friends, family members, and rescue organizations. I am currently volunteering as a transport driver for NorCal Boxer Rescue and Gettin' Home Transport, giving me experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. From energetic puppies to gentle giants like St. Bernards, I've worked with a wide variety of dogs and understand that each one has unique needs, routines, and temperaments. My goal is always to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home while they're in my care. I am retired after 42 years with the federal government. I spend most of my time at home with my retired husband, allowing me to provide plenty of supervision, companionship, and attention throughout the day. Aside from occasional errands, I’m available to ensure your dog(s) receives consistent care and affection. Our home is designed with dogs' comfort in mind. We have a large, grassy, fully fenced backyard and a dog door that allows dogs to come and go freely at their own pace. In addition, I regularly take dogs outside for potty breaks throughout their stay. Dogs are treated like family here and are welcome on the furniture and beds. We provide pet stairs to help them safely access couches and beds, making them feel as comfortable as they would in their own home. Daily walks are offered during the cooler parts of the day, typically in the early morning and again in the late afternoon or evening. Providing a safe, secure, and loving environment is my top priority. Our large, fenced backyard offers plenty of space for exercise, play, and relaxation. We also share our home with two friendly, long-haired, five-year-old Dachshunds who enjoy the company of visiting dogs. We strive to maintain a calm, welcoming atmosphere where dogs can settle in comfortably and enjoy their stay. We provide extra dog beds for guests, and if your dog prefers or requires a crate, you're welcome to bring your own. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, cuddling on the couch, relaxing in the yard, or simply being around caring people, they'll receive personalized attention and plenty of love while you're away.

“Melissa was such a wonderful sitter for my pup! From the start, I felt at ease knowing she was in good hands. I loved receiving daily updates with photos and videos. It made me so happy to see her tail wagging, going on walks, and playing. It was clear she was not only well cared for but also genuinely enjoying her time. I would absolutely book with Melissa again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a sitter who is both reliable and caring!”

“My 2-year old pup had his first stay away from home with Nicole and he had a great time. Received nightly updates on how he was doing. Would absolutely book with Nicole again.”

“Tracey took such wonderful care of our 2 Maltipoos while we are away for a week in Florida. Each day she sent updates along with pictures and videos which helped so much as this was the first time we left our babies overnight. I highly recommend Tracey and her husband as they will treat your babies as if they are their own. Wiley and Teddy came back to us so happy and content. Thanks again Tracey !”

“Lydia was amazing! Her house was set up perfectly for big dogs. I have a 9 month Cane Corso who is 100lbs and it’s always been difficult to find someone who is comfortable with large working breeds. Lydia’s experience with large dogs put my mind at ease immediately. I told her “if you can handle a pack of Saint Bernards then I have no fear with you and Zeus!” If your looking for an experienced dog owner with a wealth of knowledge than Lydia is your person!!!”

“My pup had a great time at Achara’s, playing with the other dogs. She seemed to come home tired and happy! I especially appreciate how Achara sent regular photos to keep me updated.”

Markita is an absolute angel. We had a last minute booking request due to an emergency and she was able to accommodate Brownie while we were away. We are so grateful for her and our dog adores her and has so much fun. Although he was happy to go home, he made sure to tell her goodbye which he has never done with anyone else. Needless to say we will be booking her again ☺️
