“Jennifer was an absolute pleasure to work with. I could tell our two pups felt safe and were taken care of. They were completely at ease and wagging tails when we picked them up! I got plenty of updates and photos throughout the weekend which is always appreciated. We will absolutely have Jennifer watch them again!😊🐶”
“Our dog Clementine had an amazing time staying with Carmen and her dog Cathy for six nights. Carmen’s genuine love and attentiveness toward dogs really stood out—she cared for Clementine as if she were her own. I truly appreciated the daily updates, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing Clementine was happy and well cared for. Carmen even went the extra mile by introducing her to fun puzzles and healthy treats. It was clear Clementine felt right at home, and I’m sure she’d be more than happy to stay with Carmen again.”
“Roxy was so amazing!!! She’s super sweet, down to earth, friendly, and responsive. She took great care of my little baby Lola and I felt at ease leaving her at Roxy’s home for the night. Roxy also sent a bunch of pictures of Lola which I absolutely loved. I would highly recommend her. Her house is super dog friendly and she has a nice backyard!”
“Natalia was very attentive and sent frequent updates. It was nice to know we’d get updates and not have to worry about the dog while we’re out of town. Def recommend!”
“Jamie was absolutely great with my dog while I was out of town. Regular updates with both photos and videos! Very communicative which was greatly appreciated for my first time leaving my dog. I would definitely recommend Jamie to anyone who is looking for dog boarding!”
“This is our second time with Ellie. She is wonderful, and very communicative! My dog clearly loved her, and got so excited to go back a second time. Highly recommend:)”
About: Hi! I’m Alexandra. My life revolves around dogs, and honestly, I wouldn’t have it any other way. I foster through a local rescue, volunteer with animal welfare organizations, and regularly dog sit pups of all sizes and ages. From rambunctious puppies to senior sweethearts, I’m comfortable caring for a wide range of personalities and needs. Your dog will get plenty of attention, love, and care while you’re away, plus a few photos because I can never resist a good dog photo shoot. I have a flexible schedule and am available weekdays and weekends for walks, drop ins, house sitting, and boarding. I work from home often, so your dog will get lots of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. As a foster dog mom, I’m used to helping dogs feel comfortable in new environments and building trust at their own pace. I prioritize safety, consistency, and lots of positive attention, whether we’re out on a walk or relaxing at home. You can expect regular updates, plenty of photos, and the peace of mind that your dog is in caring, experienced hands
About: dogs have always been family to me. i’ve been on both sides of the leash, not only caring for dogs, but also searching for someone i could trust with my own. i know how hard it is to leave your dog with someone else when they’re your baby, and i know the peace of mind that comes from finding the right person. i’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, including my own dogs through medical issues, medications, and recovery. i’ve fostered dogs with behavioral challenges, volunteered with Best Friends Animal Society, and have experience with anxious, shy, reactive, and senior dogs, including my own 180 lb Great Dane. because i work from home, your dog won’t be left alone all day. i can provide plenty of attention, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship while following your dog’s routine and specific needs. my goal is simple: to provide the same level of care, communication, and love that i would want for my own dogs. i’ll treat them like family and keep you updated every step of the way. i work from home and have a flexible schedule, which means your dog won’t be left alone all day. i’m available for walks, drop-ins, and boarding, and can easily accommodate potty breaks, medications, feeding schedules, and plenty of attention throughout the day. i enjoy being active, so whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply having someone nearby, i’ll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved. i know how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care because i’ve been there myself. safety is always my top priority. i’ll follow your dog’s routine, respect any training or behavioral needs, and make sure they receive the same level of care i’d want for my own dogs. i’ve cared for senior dogs, dogs with medical needs, and large-breed dogs with behavioral challenges, including my own 180-pound great dane. i’m comfortable administering medications, managing different personalities and energy levels, and giving dogs the patience and consistency they need to feel secure. you’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your dog is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Lisa was an absolutely amazing dog sitter for our pup, Charlie! From the start, her care and attention to detail were incredible. She made sure Charlie felt right at home and sent us frequent updates, which really put us at ease while we were away. Charlie absolutely loved spending time with Lisa and her dog, Wags—they got along so well, and it was clear he was having a blast. Lisa’s genuine love for animals really shone through, and we could tell Charlie was in the best hands. We can’t recommend Lisa highly enough! If you’re looking for someone to take exceptional care of your furry family member, Lisa is the one to call. Thank you, Lisa, for giving Charlie such a wonderful experience!”
“Lucinda and her family took great care of Lilo and kept me up to date with pictures of their adventures! I enjoyed my vacation stress-free knowing she was in great hands. :)”
“Mai watched our dog Poppy for a few days over the NYE holiday while we were out of town and took such great care of her. Due to bad weather, our flight back to LA was cancelled, and then the replacement flight was subjected to multiple delays. We honestly weren’t sure when we would get back. Mai offered to keep Poppy another night so we didn’t have to worry about that part, which was a huge relief. We were so grateful and came back to a happy and calm dog. Thanks again Mai!”
“Lucero took wonderful care of my dog and gave her so much love and attention while I was away. They played together, went on multiple park outings, and Lucero even brushed her and spoiled her with treats. It was clear my pup felt happy, safe, and cared for the entire time. Lucero is incredibly kind, thoughtful, and trustworthy — your dog will absolutely be in the best hands with her!”
“Hailey took wonderful care of our 6-month-old puppy, Piper, while we were away for a week. She sent lots of updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind, and was always quick to respond whenever we had questions. It was clear that Piper was having a great time and getting plenty of attention and care. We came home to a happy puppy, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We’d absolutely book with Hailey again for boarding or any other service. Highly recommend!”
“We could not have chosen a better sitter to leave our little doggo with! Tim & Andrea took great care of her and updated us regularly with pictures and videos. Lily had so much fun meeting new friends! We’re grateful to have found Tim & Andrea as we now have a sitter we can trust with our baby ?. Thank you!”
“Colin was great with my elderly dog. He was super understanding with staying on his schedule and kept me updated. I really appreciated the attention he gave to my pup while we were away for an extended period.”
“Carol and daughter provided all the comforts of home for our Poppy. They reported she was happy to go on walks and welcomed her to fit right in with their family. I recommend Carol highly and hope to use her services in the future.”
“I can’t thank Rebecca enough for the love and care she and her mom showed to my baby Mojo 5 days away and she supplied me with constant reassurance and peace of mind. Thank you sooooo much Rebecca.”
“Brittany was so wonderful and very communicative. My dog seemed to be in very good hands and Brittany gave me complete confidence she was safe. There were plenty of toys and cuddles given and Riley really enjoyed playing with Brittany’s dog, Mickey and Minnie. I will definitely be using Brittany’s services again. I cannot fault her!”
“Jamie and Todd are incredible people, who we felt genuinely loved our pup as much as we do. Our pup got spoiled, and it shows with how much our dog loved them. 100000/10 would recommend for dog sitting. Thank you Jamie and Todd!”
Sawtelle dog parents share their Rover experiences
If I could give more stars I would!! Jana & Sam (& their boys!) were incredible. They took such wonderful care of my senior dog Sophie and were so great with communicating updates, sending photos, answering questions, and always got back to me quickly. Her boys were so sweet and gentle with my girl, too, and Jana shared some seriously cute photos of them interacting. They even took her to one of the boys’ baseball games (and of course made sure it was okay with me first) and it seems like Sophie had a blast there running around. They have a beautiful home and had a yard where Sophie could go out, which was really nice, and they also allowed her to hang out on the couch with them, something I know she throughly enjoyed! They were flexible with drop-off/pickup times, too, and even allowed me to extend the stay an extra night when my plane was unexpectedly delayed. Sophie did unfortunately have a couple of unforeseen health challenges arise during her stay (of course said challenges had nothing to do with Jana or Sam! Just some age-related stuff) and they handled everything so well, they were so communicative, honest, and went out of their way to take her to the urgent care vet as I couldn’t get an appointment with my primary vet until after I returned. They spent time calling around, gave me multiple options, gave me an idea of the cost, and allowed me to choose which one they took her to, making sure I was involved throughout every step. They provided honest input when asked (I am terribly indecisive sometimes and asked for their opinion), made sure I was able to speak with the vet during the visit and that I knew exactly what was happening during the appointment, and they never overstepped any bounds, respecting any decisions or wishes I had about how to proceed with the treatment. By the time I picked Sophie up from her stay, she was almost completely recovered and happy as a clam. It was clear she had had a great time and that she was extremely well cared for. Jana also provided me with detailed notes when I picked her up about the medication the vet had prescribed, as well as notes about her health and behavior that were extremely helpful, as I only just adopted her a couple of months ago and am still learning about her patterns and behaviors. I’m sure there’s something I’m missing, but long story very long, they were absolutely incredible. Having only recently adopted Sophie, I was nervous about traveling and having to leave her, but knowing she was in such good hands while I was away lifted that huge weight of anxiety/worry off my shoulders, and I just can’t thank Jana & Sam enough! 20/10 - highly highly recommend!
Hailey took wonderful care of our 6-month-old puppy, Piper, while we were away for a week. She sent lots of updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind, and was always quick to respond whenever we had questions. It was clear that Piper was having a great time and getting plenty of attention and care. We came home to a happy puppy, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We’d absolutely book with Hailey again for boarding or any other service. Highly recommend!
Morgan was amazing with our two dachshunds, Frankie and Leo, while we were away for the weekend. She sent lots of photos and videos, communicated regularly, and clearly cared for them like they were her own. We especially appreciated that she catered to each dog’s individual needs. Leo is young and can be a little timid, and she was so patient and attentive with him. She took them on plenty of walks, let them sleep in bed with her, and gave us total peace of mind while we were gone.
Oliwia was absolutely fantastic and took care of our furry kids as of her own! She sent lots of pictures and videos and shared updates daily. One of my boys got a pretty bad case of allergies and she went above and beyond trying to help him. I can’t thank her and her husband Phil enough for being so caring and kind to our Cholo and Ermano!!!
This was a wonderful experience—our dog was so well cared for and clearly loved being with Yeyen. She was so great at communicating and sending pics and clearly is responsible, kind, and a dog lover. Will absolutely use leave our Charlie with her again, so grateful!
I really couldn’t have asked for better guardian angels for our girls than Limo and her family. How lucky we are to have stumbled upon her profile. Limo made the hard separation flawless with more photos and updates than I could’ve asked for as a reasonable Roveree. Thank you Limo for taking such good care of our precious babies! I’ll also just mention that our dogs spent the first night back waiting in front of the door for their “new” family 🥹. That says it all!
Mia was an excellent dog sitter for Oscar. She took great care of him, kept me updated consistently, and sent plenty of photos throughout his stay, which gave me peace of mind. Oscar was happy and well cared for, and I would definitely recommend Mia to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter.
Jamie was really great with our dog Bella who is older and hadn’t stayed with someone she didn’t know in many years. She kept us informed, went pics, and made sure Bella was happy and comfortable. She was also very accommodating with a scheduling. Highly recommend!
Dallas & Bri were so amazing to both me and my baby, Kojak! Given how nervous he is, they took time out of their days weeks prior to go on a small walk with us so he knew their smell and voices. They were so patient in waiting for him to open up and especially with me as the planned dates and times of sitting got wonky. It was my first time using Rover and I could not recommend them enough!
