“My doggo had a great weekend! I recieved frequent updates and pictures! He seemed very cozy there, I'll defiently bring him back next time I need a boarding in the area!!”

“Wenchi was super sweet and provided me with updates and pictures of Cosmo during his stay with her! He was a very happy wiggly pup when I went to pick him up. Thank you!”

“Edward had another wonderful stay with Jessie. He gets so excited when he sees her. He’s so much happier staying with her than at a boarding kennel and she takes great care of him.”

“Ann was great. Very professional and great communicator. Clearly has a lot of experience with handling dogs. It was our first time with her and she made us feel very comfortable. Will stay again!”

About: For years I’ve been caring for animals as if they were my own. With my sister being a dog trainer, I’ve gained plenty of knowledge and encouragement to go into this business. I’m currently working as a part-time server with time available on Wednesdays and Thursdays as of now for dog walking and/or pet care. I also have a large window for morning walks Monday-Friday. I typically like to get a written checklist of the routine or discuss routines prior to the day(s) requested. I do not offer in home boarding until further notice.
“My two large dogs spent a night with Leora and she did a great job looking over them. She also took the time to do a meet and greet with the dogs prior to confirming the booking. Great experience!”

About: I’m a lover of all animals and happy to help out! Bonus point if you have a small wire haired dog??? A lil disheveled old dog who needs a gentle attitude? You would be paying me in a years worth of serotonin already. Just got back from a travel hiatus and ready for my furry friends :’) I have grown up and lived with a variety of animals: cats, pittie mix, small dogs, birds. I've been pet sitting across multiple platforms and word of mouth, and new to rover! If your pet is looking for a friend with a cozy vibe, look no further :) I spend most of my time writing and making art at home, so we will have plenty of time to bond. They will feel like someone loving and safe is still around while you are on your trip away, and they’ll get plenty of walks while I’m here- I’m quite active myself. Excepting the other Rover sits, I work a relatively flexible schedule. Shoot me a message and let's see if we can make it work, even if my schedule is booked, we might be able to work something out. I tend to bond easily with animals since my priority is keeping each pet comfortable in their own routine and home. I'm really not in a rush to get myself on their good side, and they appreciate that. I follow their cues and it works!
“We had a great experience with Carla. Oso is an anxious pup and Carla was available to give him the care he needs. Oso came home happy, fed, and well taken care of. I also loved all the photos and updates I received, definitely will be hiring Carla again in the future.”

“This was Bristol’s first overnight boarding, and Alayna went above and beyond to make the experience as smooth as possible. She met with us in person beforehand to ensure that Bristol and Jake could get to know each other, which made the transition much easier. Alayna is incredibly considerate and maintained clear, consistent communication throughout the entire process. Her warm and attentive approach gave us peace of mind and made Bristol’s stay truly comfortable.”

About: I’ve taken care of all my pets growing up, showering, walking, playing with and training them. I’ve taken care of friends dogs aswell, by walking them and tending to there needs such a feeding walking, etc. Im currently a university student at UC Davis, and have lots of free time on Thursday, Friday, and weekends. I would love being around pets to also allow me some down time since animals also ease stress!! I have a lot of free time and would love to dog sit!! I live in an apartment that has a lot of open fields for running outside of the apartment, and since we’re in Davis there are so many nice parks around here!
“Our pack was in great hands with Roy. Two of our three dogs are seniors and he did an excellent job of meeting their needs. We received updates and pictures frequently while we were on our trip, which we loved. They had plenty of exercise and attention. We definitely came home to happy dogs. Roy is the BEST pet sitter!! His communication, attention to detail and professionalism alleviated any concerns we had about leaving our dogs while were away.”

“Charlie has never stayed at a rover house before and he is 10 years old and very high maintenance. He had the best time at Achara’s house and we are so grateful to have found a place for him to stay. Her dogs are very friendly and gave Charlie his space to feel comfortable. He will definitely be back!”

“Nayzeth took amazing care of my dog Elvis! She texted me pictures and updates every day! I could tell that she. really cared about my dog and wanted to do anything she could to make sure that he was happy while he was with them. I highly recommend Nayzeth when considering a sitter for your pets!!”

“Annie is great! She’s so sweet and kind! She accommodated every need for my Bella and went above and beyond. Check ins were good and she even bathed my dog. She treated Bella like her own and for that, I’m thankful!”

Jessie did a great job watching our dog Maple! She was really responsive and easy to communicate with from the start. She sent plenty of updates and photos, which we really appreciated. Jessie took her on a lot of walks and gave her plenty of attention. Maple came home happy and tired! We’d definitely book Jessie again.

Nayzeth took amazing care of my dog Elvis! She texted me pictures and updates every day! I could tell that she. really cared about my dog and wanted to do anything she could to make sure that he was happy while he was with them. I highly recommend Nayzeth when considering a sitter for your pets!!

Tyra stayed with Jingrui on short notice, and everything went perfectly! She was very flexible, reliable, and took such loving care of Tyra. I felt completely at ease the whole time and would absolutely book her again. Everything was great – highly recommended! 💕🐶

I give Lena my highest recommendation as a dog sitter! I am writing this review in reference to our experiences on two separate occasions. The first time we had Lena sit for our dog Daisy (a 4 yo pit mix) was a great experience. We always look for someone to watch Daisy who enjoys spending time with her and wants to have fun and Lena went above and beyond by not only taking Daisy on walks but also all sorts of hikes and adventures (we even got a cool photo of her wearing sunglasses!). Lena also dealt with some issues of Daisy having to go potty in the middle of the night very competently and professionally. She watched Daisy for 11 days and Daisy was well taken care of and happy when we picked her back up. The second time we had scheduled with Lena to watch Daisy for one night and Lena had a family emergency come up (a totally valid reason to cancel). Instead of simply leaving it to us to find a backup, Lena helped coordinate with her roommate to watch Daisy, which worked out great. Lena that she is not only able to take great care of dogs, but she is also a thoughtful and responsible person.
