“I really appreciate how Maribel took care of my dog Bruno. The updates and pictures made it clear he was comfortable and having a great time. It means so much to know he was in safe, loving hands. Highly recommend!”

“I absolutely love Renee! She’s truly amazing, kind, sweet, and incredibly communicative. Throughout my dog’s stay, she sent thoughtful updates and adorable photos, which gave me total peace of mind. My fur baby Nova had such a wonderful, happy visit. I’ll be booking with Renee every single time, and you should too, your pup will be in the best hands! I promise!! ❤️🐶”

“I am so appreciative of Breanna! She was great with my fur baby! She made sure both me and my dog were comfortable, safe, and happy! She made sure to send lots of pictures and updates! Breanna was amazing with learning the needs of my pup and tending to them!”

“Shanna was quick to respond and kept us updated throughout the stay. We could tell Hachie really enjoyed his time with her because he came back happy and energized. She did a great job addressing all of Hachie’s needs, including his medication, belly band and walks. We really appreciated the care and communication and would absolutely book with her again.”

“We are new to Rover and so happy that we found Jennifer…She was so excited to meet our Luna and definitely catered to her every need while she was staying with her…We’ve never left Luna with someone other than family but she stayed with Jennifer for a week and was pampered cared for and walked everyday…She also sent us pictures and kept us updated even when I wasn’t able to always respond…If we ever need someone to sit for Luna again Jennifer will be our first pick…”

“I can’t say enough good things about Barbara as a dog sitter! Barbara stands out after trying nearly a dozen different sitters and kennels for my pups. Not only did she provide exceptional care and attention, but she also went above and beyond by washing not only my dogs but also their beds! This thoughtful touch shows how much she genuinely cares. My dogs came home happy and healthy, and it was evident they had a wonderful time with Barbara. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter. Thank you, Barbara, for treating my fur babies like your own!”

“Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my pets! 100% recommend to anyone looking for boarding for their animals. My kitten LOVED being with Nalani so much he didn’t want to come back home! I will only be using Nalani from here on out when having to board my pets. I couldn’t have asked for better care for them she has A LOT of toys for them too.”

“I’ve never had my dogs literally excited once they realized they were being dropped off at a dog sitter before. This is my second time using Sara and when I was standing at her front door to drop them off, my elderly dog was scratching at the door to be let in! Both dogs immediately acted like she was family. Highly recommend”

About: I have had a dog of my own for 6 years now. Some more in past years. I have taken care of my friends and families pets for years now. Pets can be scared and intimidating but I know that with my love and patience with pets they do become comfortable with me. For regular services I only charge $40/day… you can reach out to me via message on rover and I could provide you with my number. I am always flexible with my time and always open to have pets board into my home. If I don't have time, it will be listed on my calendar. I have two dogs. Charlie, 8 years old, likes to be more reserved and loves indoors. He will mainly stay in his kennel. Kali, 6 month poodle, is very friendly and high energetic tic. She loves being indoors and outdoors. Unlike Charlie, Kali loves to play with other dogs. Both dogs are super friendly.

“Jill and liz make it so easy for you. I asked last minute if they could watch my dog and without hesitation they agreed. I went over a day before to meet them and to let my dog get familiar with the yard and stuff. Right away jill showed me around and my dog was at home right away playing with the other dogs. She has a beautiful backyard. There's alot for the dogs to do. And she takes them on walks! Amazing! All awhile sending us update texts and pictures We're already bring her back tomorrow to stay again. Thank you jill and liz for opening your home to animals! You two are a blessing.”

“Could not have had a better experience with our first sitter. Fox had an amazing time with Whitney during his stay. She kept us updated throughout his stay and treated him very well. Never seen fox so happy during a stay away from home. 100% would recommend for first time users of Rover, and will definitely being going to Whitney for another stay. 5 stars!”

“María was such a great sitter! My beagle Teddy was so happy with her beagle pups. Both of my dogs were well taken care of and well feed. I would recommend her to any one looking for a sitter.”

“My boy was taken care of so much he didn’t want to leave! I got regular updates and pictures! If you leaving town and don’t have room for your best friend, Sidney should be your go to boarding!”

“Dominie was AMAZING!!! She took care of our Stormi as if she was her own pup! We will be definitely will be using her always when we need to board our girl. This was the first time we left our pup behind and we were nervous but right off the bat Dominie made it so easy! She sent us updates and pictures through out the day. Our pup was left in the best hands possible! ♥️”

“I cannot say enough good things about Kharlee. She took such good care of Chloe and even helped me out of a bit of a jam the next day. Leaving a pet is such a stressful experience for both the pet and the parent, but Kharlee really put us both at ease. She even sent photos throughout the day showing Chloe enjoying her temporary accommodations. I happily recommend Kharlee and would definitely request to book her if I am in the Bakersfield area again.”

Jess was amazing with our boy. Brutus seemed very happy and comfortable to be there with Jess. Jess was very informative and we got plenty of picture's and video updates of our boy. Responded in a timely manner and we needed a last minute sitter and Jess was very happy to help us. 10/10 would let Brutus stay with Jess if we happened to be in the area again.

This is our first time to have our dog in a home. She usually is in the boarding place. But wow, what a difference. If only I could multiply Ms Jeanette,,,she is AWESOME with our dog! Our dog loves her so much and we also Do. She did an amazing job taking care of Echo for A week and she send us messages everyday and photos of her (you dont get this in boarding place). I hope she is available the next time we need a place for our Dog. I so appreciate Ms Jeanette, she is simply the Best!
I booked Kalani at the last minute for a two weeks and this included 4th of July. I was grateful that she was willing to watch my dog on such short notice. I have a large English bulldog and he has to be kept inside during hot temperatures. During the two weeks Kalani did send me 80+ pictures of Thor which I appreciated. I did however have an issue when I arrived home to find that my dog had 2 puncture wounds. I reached out to Kalani and she explained that my dog had an exchange with a neighborhood dog. I understand that dogs fight however I was a little upset that I was not informed until I asked and sent pictures of the wounds I found. As a pet owner I made a mistake by not writing down the do's and dont's for Thor. I will take partial blame for any miscommunication and I hope Kalani will learn from the situation that happened. I gave 4 stars because at the end of the end of the day my dog was feed, housed and kept alive. I believe she cares for pets and I believe in second chances.
