“My dog was very well cared for and came home happy and tired in a good way! He got some good walks in and Kathryn is excellent with animals and takes the time to share walks, pictures, and videos. I’d highly recommend her!”


“We are so grateful for Karla! She responded within an hour of us reaching out after arriving in town and kindly accommodated our pup Benny last minute. She took such great care of him, sent us adorable pictures, and even let him play with her sweet dog. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was happy and cared for while we were in town for our daughter’s soccer tournament. We feel so lucky to have found Karla and would absolutely recommend her!”


“Archer had a great day with Derek. He enjoyed walks and play time and was a happy, tired pup when he got home. Derek is very knowledgeable about dogs and was very responsive! Archer is looking forward to hanging out with him again!”

“Nichole was amazing! It was our pup’s first time with her, and she sent pics and videos throughout the stay. Trooper loved her and is looking forward to his next stay. We can’t recommend Nicole enough!”


“Morgan is absolutely terrific! And her dog Attitcus is also a good playmate too! Morgan is very communicative— she provides tons of updates (both in photos and in writing) so that you know your pup is in good hands! She’s very responsive in her messages throughout the day. You’re never left wondering how your little furry is doing. She’s very flexible with dropoff and pickup times. She cares about your dog and its wellbeing in that it’s having a fun time at her place. She even dealt superbly with a surprise diarrhea situation that our puppy had. I’d highly recommend Morgan to others!”


“Our lil furry baby loved Diana as well as the rest of her family! She came home everyday exhausted from all the playing and walkies which made my life easier! I definitely recommend her 10/10 could not have asked for a better dog sitter. She was super communicative and sent multiple updates throughout the day (which is helpful for anxious parents). They even went on adventures to the beach and to different parks and I was truly grateful for all the love she showed my lil fur child. She was truly AMAZING!”


About: Hi, I’m the proud owner of a 5-year-old female black Lab named Harley. Dogs hold a very special place in my heart and my home, and I would be truly honored to care for your dog. I’m an active person—I’m usually up around 5 a.m. and take Harley on walks 3 to 4 times a day. She’s incredibly sweet and gets along well with other dogs, children, and just about everyone she meets. Rover gives me the chance to not only be a more engaged pet owner, but also to share my love and care with others when you need a break or time away. I believe freedom and flexibility are important, but what matters most is trust—and knowing your pup is safe, happy, and loved while you’re gone. I would treat your dog as if they were my own—with love, respect, and plenty of tail wags. I’m a responsible, active, and experienced dog owner with a genuine love for animals. I work an early shift from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m., which gives me plenty of free time in the afternoons and evenings to care for your pup. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just keeping your dog company, I’m available and ready to help. My own dog, Harley, is a well-socialized, gentle black Lab who loves making new friends. I understand the importance of trusting someone with your pet, and I’m committed to treating every dog with the same love and attention I give my own. With a consistent schedule, a calm home environment, and a deep respect for animals, I’d be honored to be your go-to sitter or walker. When caring for pets in my home, I treat them like family from the moment they arrive. I live in a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of room to play, relax, and feel safe. My dog Harley is calm, friendly, and well-socialized, so she helps new dogs feel at ease. I follow your pup’s routine closely—meals, walks, medications, and any special care instructions—to keep them comfortable and happy. I provide multiple walks a day (typically 3–4), plus playtime, mental stimulation, and lots of affection. Safety is a top priority, and I always supervise introductions and playtime to ensure a smooth, stress-free experience.

“Rebekah is extremely caring and communicative. We met her beforehand so our dog and hers could get a feel for each other. Everything went well during the meeting and we knew our dog was in great hands. She sent several updates throughout the day regarding meals and walks, and we really appreciated how much she cared for our dog while we were at work. We will definitely plan on booking with her again soon!”

William L.
“I cannot recommend Will enough to watch/walk my dog, Penny, a mini labradoodle! He not only is so caring and loving with her, but also has trained her throughout the years even when I'm away. I know he has experience training at least 3 (if not more) dogs now of all different breeds (a poodle, a black lab, a golden retriever) and is very reliable and timely. He personally makes my Penny feel comfortable and secure, as was prevalent in our first meeting. She took to him right away. In addition, he kept me informed and updated with sweet photos and messages, and I could tell my pup was happy and well cared for. I was never concerned or felt the need to check in often, as he handled that all on his own. Every time I pick her up after seeing him or staying with him when I'm away, Penny is always relaxed, content, and clearly had a great time. It’s such a relief to know I’ve found someone I can completely trust. Will treats my dog like family, and I will continue booking with him again!”

San Joaquin Marsh dog parents share their Rover experiences
This was Haru’s very first time staying with a sitter, so we were a bit nervous—especially since he can be an anxious and timid dog. Morgan did a wonderful job helping him feel comfortable and cared for. We really appreciated the thoughtful updates and photos, and it was clear he was in good hands. We’d happily trust Morgan to take care of Haru again in the future!

We are so grateful for Karla! She responded within an hour of us reaching out after arriving in town and kindly accommodated our pup Benny last minute. She took such great care of him, sent us adorable pictures, and even let him play with her sweet dog. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was happy and cared for while we were in town for our daughter’s soccer tournament. We feel so lucky to have found Karla and would absolutely recommend her!

Tobi had a great time with Marisela for doggy day care. He felt comfortable right away with her and had a great time meeting and interacting with her dog. Tobi got to go to the park and have a lot of fun with Marisela and her pup. Marisela was very proactive about asking questions regardinf how to care for Tobi. She was great at communicating and sent pictures of Tobi throughout his stay. Thank you, Marisela, for taking great care of Tobi.

I contacted Chelsey for a last-minute doggy stay request. She replied right away, asked all the right questions, and we were set up within 10 minutes. During the stay, she sent me updates and photos which were much appreciated. She took great care of our pup and we would recommend her to anyone!
