About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs for the past 7 years from puppy stage to them being almost 7 and 8. One of my dogs is adopted, so I can provide a safe haven for dogs that don’t trust easily. I can do afternoon walks, or overnight care if needed. I have a home with a yard and enough space for them to play inside or outside. I have two dogs that I’ve had for almost 3 years and I care for them like they are my kids. So of course I’m a dog lover. I’m super attentive to everything especially a change in dogs behavior and I’m really big on communication because I know how stressful it can be when you’re traveling away from your pet. There is also a vet down the street from me that I take my dogs to in case anything ever happens. My dogs are both calm (I have a mutt and a corgi) and they love meeting new dogs. However, I can only do boarding at my place because of this reason.

You can tell that Delia and Gabriel really love dogs. They were wonderful and very accommodating when we had to move the dates forward, that was very greatly appreciated. We received daily updates and pictures and the dogs really enjoyed being there. Wonderful communication and feedback from them. I would definitely use them again.

About: I’ve been around dogs all my life. Friends have trusted me to walk, feed and play with them for many years. I recently lost two of my dogs, so my house feels empty and can sure use some tail wagging energy. I’m currently going to school full time, with many of my classes being online, I have plenty of time between classes to give your fur baby love. I have a fenced yard, with plenty of room to run around and play. I love to go on walks twice daily which can last about 30-55 minutes, your fur baby will love them too!

Mike is the best person in the whole world! I would trust him with my life, he was so fantastic. After having our previously booked Rover sitter cancel on us the day of, we were so lucky to have found Mike! He was amazing with communication, updates, and the care of our dogs. He took them for so many walks, they were so tired by the time we picked them up and slept the whole 3 hours drive back home. We would leave our dogs with him again in a heartbeat!

Fantastic sitter! Citali was attentive, followed all instructions, and truly helped my anxious dog feel at ease. I felt confident leaving my dog in her care, and he seemed happy and comfortable in her home. Highly recommend!

Jill was so amazing with our dog, Meike! We were so nervous to leave her for the first time, but she was in great hands. Jill was amazing at giving her love and making her feel comfortable. She also made sure to play with her daily. We loved the daily updates and pictures. We would recommend Jill and will definitely be contacting her if we need a pet sitter in the future. She’s amazing!

This was my second time using Rover so there’s still some hesitation on my part. However, Kalikonani was amazing! I have a senior dog so knowing that she had a senior pup of her own, made me feel relieved that she’d understand my dog. She provided pics, updates, and was a great communicator. I definitely recommend her and will be booking with her again in the future :)

I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog received! She took such great care of my dog—always by her side, making sure she was never lonely. My dog got plenty of activities, fresh air, and attention every day. She even gave her a bath before returning her, and my dog came back refreshed, fluffy, and super happy! It’s clear she truly loves animals and treats them like her own. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter!

Asta was amazing with my dog! I was looking for someone who could care for Sally while I visited home for the holidays, and she was available and happy to help. They went out for walks together, hung out inside, and socialized with Asta's extremely chill dog. She sent photos and videos to update me on what they were up to each day, and I could always reach her while I was on my trip. I'll definitely have Sally stay over again!

Marium was an amazing dog sitter for my dog Bruno! She did a great job walking him and made sure he was well taken care of the entire time. She was also very quick at responding to messages, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I really appreciated that she sent lots of pictures and updates so I could see how Bruno was doing. It was clear she cared about him and made sure he was comfortable and happy. I would definitely recommend Marium to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!

So happy with the care that Grace and Claudio provided! I was nervous leaving my dog since she had not been boarded before, but they took such good care of her and sent photos in which she looked so happy in every one. Picked her up and she seems like shes been on vacation. I will use this family every time I need help with my pup and will recommend them to friends and family.

Marion is fantastic. She took care of our puppy for 5 days. She was so careful and kind with him and thoughtful about making sure he was safe and happy. Honestly, I think he misses things at her house! We will gratefully use Marion’s services again. She’s a true animal-lover and wonderful person! Lucky to have found her.

Cristine was truly amazing and the best sitter we’ve ever had! From our meet and greet, her experience and passion for animals were clear right away. She is incredibly compassionate, deeply dog-loving, and extremely careful and safe (our top priority). During our flight chaos, she was the sweetest, modified, and welcomed Augie with genuine excitement, asked all the right questions, and treated him like her own (even brushing him; he came back smelling great!). We felt completely at ease the entire time. Doggies truly deserve her care, and we’ll request her every time we travel 🥹if she’s not fully booked by then from this very well deserved review! 🐾💛 Thank so much Christine! 🐶
