“Now, what do you do if you find out you need to evacuate your home for eight hours with a day's notice? I don't think most people plan for situations like this, and we tend to scramble for solutions when life introduces surprises like these smack dab in the middle of a normal week. I have two kittens that needed a place to stay while my apartment was suddenly worked on, and unsurprisingly, I had no idea where to start. It's not like I had much time either— only a handful of hours to plan something out. Thankfully, I stumbled onto Rover and eventually came across Jennie and Bennie. They responded to my inquiry within minutes and quickly scheduled an appointment for me to check out their cat suite the following evening. It was the best response time I've received from any service in recent history. The cat suite itself was incredibly impressive. Jennie and Bennie know exactly how to cater to cats of all types, from the overly sociable to those who prefer to keep to themselves. It didn't take long after meeting them I knew my kittens would be under great care here. Throughout the short stay, Jennie and Bennie provided me with pictures and videos of the kittens as they explored their new temporary home. There wasn't any reason to worry about how the kittens were adjusting because they sent me constant updates during the stay. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Jennie and Bennie are amazing people who know exactly how to care for cats. They've created a fantastic area for our feline friends, and I'd definitely book with them again.”

“My pups loved being over at Renee’s house. They were taken such good care of. I will definitely use her again & recommend her to anyone looking for boarding their pups.”

“Igor took such great care of Penny while I was out of town!! He provided daily photos and videos of their walks and was in regular contact with me about how she was doing. I could tell he formed a friendship with my little one and that she was having a lot of fun, so much that she seems a little bored now that she is home! I would recommend him to anyone that gets nervous being away from their pup. Thank you,Igor!!!”

“Tina and her family are fabulous. I took him to her house the first time. I was nervous because he had never been away from me. He was very comfortable and happy when I picked him up. I highly recommend Tina for all your dog hotel needs.”

“Paula has looked after my two cats multiple times over the past several years and always does an amazing job! One of my cats has special dietary needs, and Paula has handled it very well. I always feel comforted when Paula is watching them, because I know they will be well looked after.”

“Wendi was fantastic with our two pugs, Phoebe and Char Char. My husband and I felt very comfortable leaving our girls with Wendi and her husband for over two weeks. Wendi gave the girls so much love and attention while we were out of country. It was wonderful getting daily pictures of the girls having fun! Thank you Wendi for being so kind and caring to our baby girls! We missed them, but knew they were in great hands! Phoebe and Char Char were well taken care of! Happy pugs got lots of hugs!”

“We got really jammed up when the person we were expecting to watch our little pom, Bailey, over TG had a medical emergency. A friend told us about Rover. We signed up and found Liv who saved us. Liv was fast to respond, professional, caring and amazing. She took great care of our little Bailey. Which isn't easy. Bailey is a bit high strung. We could tell Bailey was well cared for. Thanks to Liv and Rover we got to see our family in San Jose. We would work with Liv again. Thanks Liv for helping us out.”

“Egemen was a perfect pet sitter for our 11-year old Yorkie-Poo, Shayla. He is a very energetic person who loves dogs of all sizes. Shayla had a great time with him and his wife. He shared daily photos of Shayla on her walks or hanging out at the beach. He was a great host and we would recommend him to anyone who has an animal that needs boarding while you are away!!”

“Jeff was great! He watched my boxer, Ruby, over the weekend. She was very nervous when we dropped her off, as it was our first time taking her to a sitter, but Jeff made her feel at home. He sent multiple picture updates throughout the weekend, and Ruby was able to socialize with the other dog they were sitting.”

“Nathan and his family took great care of my German Shepherd. I was sent pictures and updates every day. I love that his daughters were involved with playing with her and making her feel loved. I would like to have Nathan and his family take care of my pup again!”

“Excellent experience”

“Charlene and her mom showed Trixie a lot of care and we could tell Trixie enjoyed being with them since Trixie was wagging her tail so much around them at pick up. They sent photos and videos every day so we could see how comfortable she was the whole weekend.”

“I am a veterinary student so, naturally, I was nervous leaving my 1 year old golden retriever with someone else but I will say, I have never seen my hyperactive dog so exhausted from long walks and playing all day than when I picked him up from Jia's house. She was very welcoming and clearly experienced. She exceeded all my expectations and I would definitely book with her again.”

“Kaitlin was great! So sweet out peeled very happy. Kaitlin was great about sending pictures daily with updates about our dog Molly. We will definitely use her again. Thank you Kaitlin.”

“Connie was amazing with Red! He’s barely been away from us in the 4 years we’ve had him. She was so kind and loving to him, she treated him as if he were her own.”

“Ben and Adriana were kind and communicative, and were very flexible when I was out of service range and my dad worked with them to extend our pup’s stay.”

“Estrella and her family were just perfect for my little boi. He stayed with them for 4 days and looked as happy as I had left him. Estrella was very considerate about special preferences and his personality as well. She took very good care of my little pup and ensured he felt at home. Would definitely recommend!”

About: At the age of 11, my family was blessed with an adult Chow Chow who no longer could be kept from his previous family. My parents heavily relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and distribute his medicine for years. I have experience in taking care of adult to senior dogs. Additionally, I have dog sat for close family friends. I am currently a junior in college, with a majority of my classes being online. Therefore, I have a flexible schedule to cater to your dogs needs. I live with three roommates who all love dogs. Everyone in the apartment has had experience in dog sitting and owns a pet with their family. We don’t really have visitors, just in case your pet may be overstimulated by a number of people. My apartment is new, so they have a small space for dogs to mingle or do their business.

“Geraldine was fantastic! Kemba was in good hands with her”

“Naiye watched our dog for a full two weeks and was quick to provide pictures, updates, and direct responses to messages we sent. Our dog looks like she really enjoyed her time spent with Naiye as well.”
