“Eunice was absolutely amazing! She exceeded all of our expectations with her thorough communications and level of care provided to our beloved Corgi. Not only did she followed all the care instructions for our pup, she went the extra miles to make Muncie feel loved and spoiled - taking her on social outings and hikes to keep her entertained! She sent us daily photos and detailed updates, which gave us such peace of mind during those 7 nights we were away. Our dog felt right at home with Eunice. She is definitely our go-to sitter from now on! Thank you, Eunice, for taking such great care of Muncie!”
“We had never left Coco with anyone, this was her first and we were very worried but from the interview to meet us, Coco's response with Patricia was excellent, so it gave us confidence to try to do this. The attention he gave to our Baby was excellent at all times, he let us know the behavior with photos and messages to be calm. We recommend it.”
“I felt at peace leaving my dog babies with Ning. She sent frequent videos and photos. She communicated very well and made sure my pets had their needs met. I could tell my pets felt comfortable with her and that she really is a warm person and animal lover.”
“Hanah was so amazing watching Dallas. She was constantly checking in, sending us pictures and was professional throughout the whole sitting . If anyone is looking for an amazing sitter we highly recommend her.”
“Bennie and Jennie have been such kind and attentive caretakers of my kitty. I truly appreciate how accommodating they are especially for specific drop off / pick up needs. Very very grateful to have found such nice cat sitters!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 10 years. I have experience taking care of dogs with senior care, which includes medications, and making food. Dogs both small and large. I currently work part time and am able to do dog walks when needed. I also can board dogs at my home and walk them before and after shifts. I have a fenced yard where dogs can room for a potty break. I have experience with senior dogs and am able to administer medication. I love all dogs and have experience with small, delicate dogs.
“Ashley was amazing with our two girls! They loved being with her and got plenty of attention. I was happy to receive lots of pictures of their dog park outings too! They came home freshly bathed and very happy. We will definitely rebook with Ashley again.”
“I used Rover for the first time. Madison took such good care of my little pup. I have to admit it first I was nervous to leave her with someone that I didn’t know. But immediately I started getting texts and pictures and updates. She made me feel so comfortable. I could tell Sookie was well taken care of. I will definitely use her again.”
“This was our first time leaving our dog with a sitter, so we were a bit worried at first. However, she was incredibly kind and attentive, and took such great care of our dog. She made sure to keep up with walks, meals, and overall condition, and sent us regular updates and photos, which really put us at ease. Our dog looked very comfortable and stress-free the entire time. She is someone we can truly trust, and we highly recommend her!”
“Beth and Sean, we want to thank you infinitely for taking care of my "fur-son." You were loving, responsible, and truly dedicated to caring for Vlacho. You followed all the instructions regarding his feeding, walks, and favorite games. We hope to see you in Colombia! Best regards.”
“Absolutely wonderful sitter for our puppy! We will definitely use her services again. She sent us picture updates and was very flexible with our availability! So trustworthy and kind!”
“Diana was very sweet and treated our dog as if it was her own! She made sure to stay with him and watch him every time he wanted to be in the backyard and made sure he felt safe even though he is an anxious dog. I was nervous leaving my dog in someone else’s care for the first time but she sent photo and video updates that made me feel a lot better! Diana is amazing and I highly recommend booking her!”
“Thavery was amazing! We needed a place to board our dog last minute and so glad we found her. We appreciated her flexibility with our changing schedules. She is so easy and pleasant to talk to. She let us stay with our dog for a few minutes to get her settled and she really made us at ease leaving our dog with her. She took really good care of our dog and our dog loved her. We will not hesitate to work with her again in the future!”
“We had a wonderful experience boarding Chester here! A big thank you to you all for taking such great care and for sending us daily updates with pictures—it really gave us peace of mind while we were away. The communication was excellent, with timely responses to all our messages. We could tell our Chester was happy and well looked after. Highly recommend and will definitely be back!”
“Another wonderful stay with Parisa!!! Parisa sent me updates , photos, and videos of my baby several times a day . It is so reassuring to see my baby so relaxed and having so much fun. I even commented to my hubby that my baby may not want to come home 😁”
“Candi, was amazing. Sent me daily pictures of what a good dog's life is. They seemed very comfortable and came home happy campers! Will definitely reach out again when we need a great place for the pooches to stay.”
About: Hi, my name is Michelle. Over the years I’ve raised and trained many of my own pets and regularly dog sit for all of my family. I currently have one dog, a Rat Terrier named Memo. He is high energy but he's a happy boy and has the best temperament. For housesitting, please be advised that I will be bringing Memo to stay with me at your home. If you want to see more of my cutie, check out his bio. I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds, from playful puppies who need extra attention and playtime to older dogs who just need a slower pace and a little extra patience. I’m comfortable managing multiple dogs of all sizes. That includes 'pullers' and/or dog reactive from my experience walking dogs at shelters. Here are a few things I’m happy to help with: • Walks, playtime, and activities that keep your dog active and engaged • Puppy guidance and reinforcement of training routines if requested • Patient care for senior dogs or pets with special needs (including administering medications) • Flexible scheduling when possible • Pick up/Drop off within 5 miles of my house. (Main & Civic Center in Santa Ana) • Grooming (only the basics: bathing, drying, brushing.) Price depends on size and length of fur. Sorry, no nail trims. • Dependable care with the same love and attention I give my own dog. (Snuggling always included!) I'd love to schedule a meet-and-greet to meet you and your pet! I do project based work from home so I'm present and not tied down to a rigid schedule which means I have the time and flexibility to give your pet attention when needed. I have a Rat Terrier who gets a long with all dogs, he loves to play but is pretty respectful of dogs who are not into it. Dogs have free rein of my house. I spend a good amount of time with them outside in the yard, they are never let out without supervision.

Michelle is awesome! She took great care of Eiffel and kept me updated with messages and photos throughout the stay. I could tell Eiffel was happy, comfortable, and well cared for! I had peace of mind knowing Eiffel was in such good hands. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter! Thank you Michelle!
Kairo spent another wonderful weekend with Carolyn and Brian! They are amazing with our Belgian Malinois, and after more than a year of using their Rover services, we feel incredibly fortunate to have found them. They care for Kairo with so much love, attention, and dedication, treating him as if he were their own. We always have complete peace of mind when he is with them. Highly recommend!
The perfect dog hosts! Hanah and Dabin took such great care of our dog - they were kind, communicative, and flexible! They treated Peach with care and thoughtfulness; she was walked and played with and kept engaged the entirety of her stay. And a bonus: Hanah sent such sweet pictures of our pup to keep us updated while we were gone. We couldn’t recommend them more highly!
I highly recommend Sean, Beth & Sunny!!They took excellent care of my dog while I was away and gave me complete peace of mind. It was clear from the start that they genuinely love animals and treat them as if they were their own. Throughout the stay, they provided regular updates, photos, and communication, which I greatly appreciated. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. They were attentive to my dog’s needs, followed all instructions, and made sure my pet received plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I would not hesitate to use their services again and would gladly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and caring dog sitter.
This was Winston's second visit and his first overnight stay. He was so excited to be back at Molly's and she made him feel right at home. I can tell that he is very much loved and cared for by Molly and Chris. She even bakes him treats! I always appreciate all the updates and pics she sends. It is truly comforting knowing that I am leaving him in excellent hands. I can't say enough great things about Molly, because she truly is the BEST!!
Ashley is exceptional ! Our girl nala was well taken care of and kept me updated throughout the days . We loved receiving pictures of her and she took her to the dog park ! I love that she is flexible something came up for us and she was able to extend one more day :)
Lily is absolute the best! I left my two pups with her for 4 days and three nights. My pups and I had been mauled by dogs recently so the three of us needed extra love and attention and Lily provided that for us. I never had to worry about how my dogs were doing and they quickly acclimated to being with her. I received frequent photo, video and text updates that were very much appreciated. I would never hesitate to leave my dogs with Lily again.
Yeting is the best!!! She is attentive and caring, communicating with texts, pictures and videos throughout the stay. You couldn’t ask for more! I highly recommend her. My adolescent Mallinois can be a handful and she handles him beautifully. She makes it easy and worry free for concerned puppy parents.
