“Bottom line, I will NEVER again board our dog Ghost at a facility. Kelly and her family were amazing sitters for our big white Shepherd! Truth is, I think Ghost had more fun, more exercise, and more attention with Kelly than he does at our home - and let's be honest, isn't that what we're looking for? I always hatted leaving Ghost at the big cold concrete jungle boarding facility in town. I know he hates it there. But when I dropped off Ghost with Kelly, he didn't even notice me leaving. Come to think of it, I'll bet Ghost had a better 7 day vacation at Kelly's than I did in Cabo. 10 Stars! (thank you Kelly, you guys rock!).”

“I chose Daniela as my sitter the fist time I used Rover and will always continue to choose her. She is the kindest, most compassionate lover of her animals and welcomed our pup with open arms. She sent pics and communicated throughout Reyas stay…she was not only a perfect fit for our puppy, but our family. Nothing but amazing things to say about her service and needless to say our puppy was extremely tired after all their playful adventures!”

About: Hi my name is Jaycee I am a mom to 4 grown daughters and have had pets my whole life. I know it can be hard to find a trusted pet sitter but I am here to give you peace of mind. I am extremely reliable, responsible and easy to get along with. I am active and don’t work so I have lots of time to offer to your pets. Contact me if you have any questions. I am active and I don’t work so I have lots of time to offer to your pets. I am available 7 days a week. When caring for pets in my home, I love to have the pet feel like nothing has changed! If the dog loves to sleep in the bed, I am all for it! I like to keep the animals routine in place while the owners are away, I love to send photos and take cute pictures. Most of my time is spent at home so your dog will never be lonely.
“Anne is the best sitter ever! She was so caring with snowflake, my dog literally loves her and her dogs can trust her with my closed eyes, and I’m so glad I found her!! She’s clearly passionate by dogs.”

“Liz took great care of our dog while we were out of town for Thanksgiving! She took him on lots of walks and sent daily updates and photos. He was so happy there with her family, and it was such a relief knowing he was under great care!”

“Leslie was absolutely amazing. The sweetest person on earth, she was so patient and so willing to do everything for my dog. My dog was very anxious and was having a little bit of the bubble guts for this trip and she was so willing to take care of him even with the issues at hand. I would definitely recommend her to anybody staying in the area and need somebody to watch their dog for a couple of days or even just for a day.”

“Beth and her daughters did a great job sitting for our 2 dogs. Beth stayed at the house for a week, and not only gave the pups lots of time, love and attention, but she left the place spotless (she also fed my daughter's bird)! She sent us photos every day and gave us ample updates, so communication was a breeze. I would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.”

“We're so grateful to have found Marissa! Our dog spent the weekend w/ her when we were out of town, and we couldn't be more pleased. She's kind, communicative, gentle and so easy work with. It is obvious that she has a very genuine love for dogs, and we couldn't have felt better about who we left our puppy with. We recommend her without reservation, and look forward to utilizing her again in the future.”

“Steph was an awesome sitter! My 2 dogs had the best time and I was worried they wouldn’t want to come home!! She took them on walks, hikes and outings and sent me pics along the way! Steph is very responsive and I knew she was taking good care of my pups! We booked her again when we go to the east coast for a wedding and will continue to book her. I’m so glad we found a great sitter for our pups!!”

“Panda had the best time at Heather and Justin‘s house. They took such great care of him even when he was a little shy and barking. Great communication sent lots of photos and a video. My dog came home tired and slept great. Great experience can’t wait to come back.”

“Great experience. They took such nice care of our dog Hope and treated her as part of the family. My dog loved it, so we do as well. Diana was very flexible and communicated a lot with pics and messages. Her boys also took great care of Hope.”

“Elizabeth was fantastic. She's a great communicator, asked all the important questions about caring for our pet, was a great listener ... I could go on and on! We hired her last minute for a family holiday and she was exceptional. We felt confident in our pets' care, safety, and enjoyment! We will absolutely be reaching out to Elizabeth again. Lovely apartment, lovely person, clearly loves animals! She even got our normally-brushing-avoidant husky to snuggle up and enjoy some brushing - this was certainly a pleasant surprise!! 10/10!”

“So Thankful for the fabulous care Rudy received! He is exhausted from all the fun he had with his new friends! I'm so glad I have such a wonderful home where Rudy can go when I am out of town. I only hope they are available in the future! I loved all the pictures of Rudy and his friends! Thanks!”

“James was AMAZING! I felt so comfortable and safe leaving my best friend with him! Not only did it seem like he truly enjoyed taking care of animals but was also knowledgeable and experienced. If I am ever near Dana Point again, I’d used James in a heart beat!”

“Sabrina was so amazing! She took care of our reactive dachshund and he had a great time! She kept us updated just enough to keep us not worried and sent pictures every day! We will definitely book with her again!!”
“What a great family and home to leave your pet at! Bandit enjoyed his stay and we got plenty of pictures to prove it. I will definitely be reaching out if I need pet sitting service again.”

About: Hi, I'm Angey. I've always had so much love for animals, they really do make the world a better place! I have a wide range of experience with mostly dogs & cats. All ranging from different breeds, ages, sizes and energy levels. I grew up with a neighbor who breeded great danes and started helping her from age 10-13. Watching puppies outgrow me got me very comfortable with large dogs early on and understand them better too. On the flip side, I have taken care of an 8lb senior malti poo from 15-18 that needed a lot of nurturing and special care. From cooking her fresh food, adding skin supplements to skin salve, she was a new pup with a better quality of life! So I enjoy being thorough and conscientious in my day to day life. You can always expect cute photos, videos and updates while in my care. --Looking forward to meeting your pet😊 I'm doing pet care full-time along with my cleaning business. So I have availability throughout the entire week everyday and a lot of flexibility! House sitting is preferred so your pets can stay in the comfortability of their own home. I like keeping up with the routines they already have to make them feel at ease. I do Board small to medium size pups, I live close to the park and lots of places to potty. I will give them lots of love and play time!
“Eric and Allison truly put the love in taking care of dogs — we had our 12 year-old dog Oreo with them for more than a week and he had a fabulous time. I can’t think both Allison and Eric for all their kind attention, if you’re looking for a dog sitter, look no further! We will definitely be calling upon them again should we need to!”

Marissa was great! We were in a real jam and she saved the day! Not only did she allow to book, literally at the last minute, she and her husband were so gracious and kind. We felt our, Kiki, was in loving hands. If were ever in town again, we would not hesitate leave Kiki with them again!
Neil was amazing with our little guy while we hung out for the weekend in the San Diego! He provided plenty of updates and made us feel at ease that our pup was in the best hands! We definitely would love to have Neil as Tyson’s sitter again whenever we are in the area again.

Dianne took wonderful care of my dog Bentley, and she really enjoyed her time there. Communication was great, and the whole arrangement was smooth and easy. She even sent me a video of Bentley, which I really appreciated. Dianne handled drop-off and pick-up, making everything very convenient. Bentley was clearly well cared for, and I will definitely reach out to her again for future care.

We are so happy that we found Diana to take care of our pup. Our dog has special medical needs and so we are hesitant to leave her with anyone but family. Diana is so warm and friendly, and our dog was immediately comfortable with her. Their home and yard is perfect as well. Diana sent a few photos and communicated just the right amount. A great stay!
