“Margaret took care of our cat for a week. We discussed details in advance through video and phone calls which helped us feel comfortable about the living situation. She was communicative through the week and sent us regular updates via text. Our cat seemed comfortable at her house and became friends with her family members quickly. Overall good experience working with Margaret.”
“Thank you Aaliyah. Darla always has a great time with you and your family. You take such good care of her. I enjoy all the pictures you send me too.”
“This was the first time my sweet girl Nova was away from me but Hana made the experience for her so amazing. She kept me updated everyday and sent me pictures and videos. I definitely will be booking with Hana in the future🥰”
“Erica was incredible, she kept us up to date with pictures and messages throughout our pup's stay and was very caring with our little one! We hope to book again soon.”
“Carrigan is lovely. I was very anxious about leaving my havenese dog for the first time but within hours Carrigan was sending me pictures and updates many times during his stay. Made my trip more enjoyable for me! Thank you. Carrrigan.”
“Judith and her family were the perfect hosts. She made it so easy to book with her timely response and was flexible in accommodating my dog fairly last minute. Our dog is a senior and requires meds. She was very willing to accommodate him and went out of her way to do lighter walks and play. Her dogs and kids were all very welcoming and my dog came home happy, well fed, rested and content. She sent regular updates and photos so we knew he was safe and happy. We are so grateful for Judith and her family!”
“Lindsey is excellent! I would enthusiastically recommend her. She was detailed and caring with our coonhound Reba. Lindsey carefully introduced her dogs to Reba and they seemed to hit it off (including cute videos of them playing together). Her dogs are gentle and friendly, so it was nice to know Reba was getting social time in while we were away! Lindsey was detailed about Reba’s diet, schedule, walks, etc. She asked questions to make sure she understood all her needs. She was completely responsive and available. She sent just the right amount of pictures and videos. Thank you so much, we are so glad we found you!”
“Erika and her family were absolutely amazing! She asked all the right questions about our furbaby. She sents lots of pictures. She was very interested in getting to know everything about our dog so she would be comfortable in her home. I highly recommend her! Very grateful she was able to take care of our dog! Very kind and loving.”
“Ian was extremely communicative and shared both written and photo updates of our Chocolate Lab! Would definitely recommend to anyone in the area!”
“Oriana is such a great dog sitter! Bailey loves staying at her home and always runs in with excitement! Oriana has great communication and is so helpful and friendly. We love using Oriana to look after bailey while we are away and will continue to do so ☺️”
“Kylie was so great with our dog Maisey! She was so attentive and Maisey with great care and sent lots of updates to us via text! We would highly recommend Kylie to any future people that might need a dog sitter and look foward to using her again!!!”
About: I’m a strong believer that structured, fun walks, socialisation and positive experiences are essential for a dog’s day to day well-being. I’m here to help you provide your dog with the exercise and positive interactions they need. I’ve been a dog owner for most of my life and have experience as a dog walker and sitter on and off. Throughout this time, I’ve learned that, like us, every dog is a different individual, and I’ll ensure to provide the appropriate mental and physical support for a well-balanced routine. I have recently completed successfully a Pet First Aid Course Certification. And I’m studying and practicing Canine Behaviour and Psychology. Most importantly, I’m passionate about our pets and there’s nothing more important for me that to make them feel safe and comfortable! I’m currently studying part time while also doing some volunteering locally, so I have most of my days and hours available to pick up - walk and drop-off your dog. If at your place/home, I’ll make sure that everything stays as it is and follow your dogs routine and care. Occasionally, at my apartment, I’ll make sure introducing the environment in the correct way for your and my dog. I have a small apartment where I live with my Yorkie, so I can host small to medium sized breeds overnight, or any sized if needed for a few hours break.
“Lisa was a fantastic sitter for our dog while we were in town for a wedding! She was very communicative and sent lots of photos and is clearly very experienced with dogs. Our girl is shy around new people but seemed to settle in super easily with Lisa and her family. Highly recommend Lisa for all your pup-sitting needs!”
“Monika is the best! Our dog Beanie had such a great time with her. She provided lots of updates and pics while we were away and our pup came home so happy!”
“Amit and Amanda were great sitters in FiDi! This was my first time placing Fitz with them and he was super comfortable and playful with them from the start. They sent plenty of cute photos and updates throughout the day and kept me posted on how he was doing. I can tell he was well taken care of, and we'll definintely be back in the future! :)”
“Juan was awesome with Scotty. Scotty immediately jumped up to give him kisses and was barely excited to come home. Juan sent lots of pictures, kept him active, and even brushed him before dropping him back. Will definitely be using Juan again in the future!”
“Jorge gave me updates everyday on Coco. He prioritized her needs and was genuinely involved in her daily routine giving her what she needed when she needed it. I've booked multiple stays with Jorge and feel extremely at ease knowing my dog is in a loving environment.”
“Anner was very accommodating. The dogs were very happy with him. We did a trial run for an overnight stay to see how they managed. They were happy dogs. When I dropped them off for their stay they were both excited. Thank you Anner, you have two fans. I will definitely use your services again.”
“Stephanie was such a fabulous pet sitter for our 2 black labs. We felt so at ease while we were away knowing our dogs were in very capable and caring hands. We will definitely be using Stephanie again:)”
About: I'm from Colombia, and there I had different pets that my family and I rescued through the course of 12 years, birds, parrots, iguanas, cats, dogs. I moved in 2018 to the US., lived basically a year in a pet free environment and couldn't make it longer like that. Because of that, my husband and I went to Colombia, got my two dogs that were with my family, Arya & Kathy (AKA the girls) and brought them with us to the US. And they come with us everywhere that they are allowed! Teaching things to the girls, playing with them, going for walks (and spoiling them a little) is a big part of our lives, and I can surely say that your pet would love being with us because he/she/they would certainly feel part of our family! <3 I'm currently a full time photographer, I edit and do social media management from home, so I'm basically around most of the time, if I have to go out for a shoot it won't be longer than 3 hours, and if it is a big event - it would more likely to be at night or the weekend when my husband is home. He works full time, some days at home, some others at the lab. We live in an apartment and have a huge terrace, there we have a pee-potty station for the girls for when it's too cold or rainy and it's hard to go for a walk! - I am a morning rooster, get up at 5 am, let the girls out or take them out for a walk around our building, offer them breakfast and with hubby start getting ready for work. I stay home and take them out every 3 hours, then a longer walk at noon before lunch and another long walk when hubby comes back from work around 6pm, then we offer the girls dinner. During the day, I need to take short breaks for my eyes and hands, and I use that time to decompress playing with the girls (+ your fur baby), and after our dinner and chatting about our day we all cuddle on the couch or play with the craziest squeaky toys haha! We have a big dog safe terrace, and two fur babies to keep your dog(s) company when they board with us! We don't really crate the girls, instead we have a metallic foldable gate that we set when we both are out so they don't feel the anxiety of been close to the door, but instead they get to be on their space with beds, bowls, & the living room (couch and puff chair) for them to hangout! When I'm home (the 80% of the time) they can walk around the whole apartment, join me on the couch or my office set up or just chill on their beds. We also have a dog spa in our building that allow us to shower, dry and groom them easier and faster in case your baby is in need of one! When dog sitting, I'll make sure to follow your instructions and to help your baby not feel alone!

maria alexandra v.
“I do not think it is an exaggeration to say that Maria loves dogs more than kiddos - and this is a woman who has been hailed as a phenomenal nanny by several families over the last several years. Many people will ask to pet new dogs that they meet, but Maria truly falls in love with every single one. In fact this is true of all animals, but she does have a special place in her heart for doggos. I probably do not have space to write all the stories I could about this part of her life, but here are a few. In addition to the dogs she has cared for while nannying (5 in total), she has had no less than 4 dogs of her own. She has raised newborn puppies, and she has rescued dogs (and cats) that she found abandoned in the street, or that were left by families that could no longer care for them. In fact just the other day she turned the car around when she believed she saw a dog being tied to a pole on the side of the road, but thankfully the owner was only taking a rest and did stay with the animal the entire time. Maria is from Colombia, which has a complicated dog culture. There is an abundance of dogs throughout the country, but they are not always well cared for, and many end up as strays. I personally witnessed her nurture a hungry stray dog while staying at a fancy resort. While the proprietors tried to shoo the animal, thinking it was being bothersome, Maria was actually encouraging the dog to approach. She then calmed him into trusting her so that she could give him some food and water, and he later followed us to our cabana and slept outside. We currently have two dogs in our family, and if I didn’t see it with my own eyes every day, I would not believe two dogs could ever be this happy and comfortable. She does not simply provide them food and water. She rolls around and plays with them whenever they bring her one of their favorite toys, and she lays down with them on whatever surface of the house suits them in the moment. They have so many choices, with 3 beds of their own, a comfy couch and ottoman, and even occasionally our own bed. She bathes them, grooms them, cleans their teeth, and even paints their nails (yes really!). To them, I may be one of their “humans”, but she is truly a part of their pack. Arya, Kathy (our mini French poodles), and Maria would love a chance to share their love with the special furry member of your family, and I promise they will be so very well cared for!!”
Riverside pet parents share their Rover experiences
Ivon did an amazing job with Opie! She was active in her communication and sent us so many pictures which we loved. Our dog had a great time going to the park and we are already booked for our next stay!
Wendy has been amazing. She took such good care of our 2 dogs. She was attentive to their needs and did her job extremely well. Wendy has a lovely sweet personality and she made sure to take lots of pictures and give me updates without having to ask. She is a very special lady and I shall be using her services again and again.
Such a good dog sitter! Took really good care of my dog and was very accommodating to make this as easy as possible.
I can't recommend Nicole enough as a dog sitter! She took amazing care of my dog, Romeo. Nicole was incredibly responsive and flexible, always quick to reply and accommodating to any changes. I truly appreciated the frequent photo updates she sent, which kept me at ease knowing Romeo was happy and well cared for. It's clear she genuinely loves dogs and treats them like her own. Thank you, Nicole, for your outstanding care!
Erica did a great job watching my dog for the night! Super responsive, friendly, and took great care of my pup. I would definitely trust her again!
Kylie was so great with our dog Maisey! She was so attentive and Maisey with great care and sent lots of updates to us via text! We would highly recommend Kylie to any future people that might need a dog sitter and look foward to using her again!!!
Erika and her beautiful family pampered our dog for a week. The fenced yard was perfect to get some exercise running around, chasing a ball etc and the kids were so sweet to our pup. Erika sent us frequent updates and her action shots were very helpful because we missed our baby so much. It really helped us to see her being treated so nicely and having a lot of fun with Erika and family.
Ian was amazing with our two dogs! He was very attentive and careful with them, and we really appreciated the updates—his texts and pictures gave us peace of mind. When we picked them up, they looked happy and ready for a good night's sleep.
Shea was in great hands with Lauren! Lauren sent lots of photos and was very communicative. I think my pup had a wonderful time and I would definitely book Lauren again
Cannot say enough good things about Marnie’s stay with Manavi! Not only did Manavi watch her for two weeks, she was very accommodating in changing the start date when our travel plans suddenly changed. We got consistent updates on Marnie while away, and she was smiling in every single picture! We can tell Marnie already misses her!!
Very responsive. Juan sent us a lot of pictures and gave us updates on our dog. He walked him several times every day and I can tell our dog was in good hand. We’ll use his service again in the future
I can’t recommend enough Kellwin for doing an amazing job, taking care of Khloe. From the very beginning communication was clear and prompt. He created a space for dog parents new to Rover to ask questions and share information. Throughout the entire stay we received regular updates and the cutest pictures of Khloe that helped ease our minds. It was clear that Khloe was happy and in great hands. Should there ever be another need for dog sitting, we will be looking to rebook with Kellwin. Thank you again for taking such great care of Khloe.
Lina is just fabulous! I have an older dog who had not been boarded for a while. My dog took to Lina instantly and spent the weekend at Lina’s home. Lina gave her lots of extra walks and love and care and sent pictures during her stay. I feel like my dog has a new best friend.
Frank did an exceptional job taking care of our puppy. On the way home, she shared how attentive (her words!!!) and caring he is. He even has a magical way of creating an open parking space right when it's time to drop her off. Highly recommend Frank for taking care of your fur baby : )
Our Lapa had a phenomenal time with Alexandra during our out of country vacation. There is a lovely dog park in the neighborhood, so the dog had plenty of zoomies, which was a big bonus. Alexandra shared photos and videos throughout as well. You can tell when people truly care, and Lapa loved staying with her as well. We recommend Alexandra and will leave Lapa with her again without hesitation!
Ally was super communicative and took very good care of Maple while we were gone, including a long hike and lots of couch cuddle time!
Margaret and her family took great care of our dog Chip! She's clearly experienced in pet sitting, and made sure Chip had lots of activities and cuddle time. She gave us frequent, detailed updates--which we requested and really appreciated! I'll definitely be booking with Margaret any time we need boarding in the future.
Debbie and her pup Ozzie are amazing!!!! One of my dogs has separation anxiety but settled in and was comfortable enough to play!!! They even got steak and veggies for Ozzie’s birthday!!! I wouldn’t hesitate to have her watch them again!!
Nancy was wonderful! Super communicative. Sent us lots of updates and photos. You can tell she really loves dogs. We will definitely be using her again!
Annie was great! We left our 16.5 yo dog with her for a little over a week. Since he has gotten older it has been harder on him to be left with someone outside our home. We were so overjoyed that when he came back to us this time he was in good spirits! We'd definitely use Annie again and highly recommend her.
