“Rika was amazing with our pup! She provided updates with pictures regularly and it showed how much she cared and loved our pup as if she was her own! We will definitely be calling her back to care for our pup again! A+++”


“Cathy and Andres were great and our dog Ruby was well taken care of. They sent plenty of photo and video updates each day while we were away. They work from home so were able to be attentive to our dogs needs and made sure she got plenty of exercise and playtime with their dog Charlie! They were very attentive and quick to respond to all messages and questions we had. We were so happy to find them and hope to have Ruby stay with them again the next time we are out of town!”


“Haijin & Victor were great. My dogs barks at everyone but he liked them instantly. He also got along great with the other dogs. They provided photo updates twice a day. My dog was happy and enjoyed the stay when he came back home. Will definitely use them again. Great experience.”


“My Ruby seemed really happy in the daily pics Selien sent. She especially enjoyed her time with the host dog, Johnny. Ruby looked good when I picked her up! I hope to use Selien again for my next trip ?”

“I’m grateful to Jim for taking care of my dog on short notice. He was very accommodating and was great about sending daily photos and updates. When I picked up my dog after 4 nights, she was happy and well cared for. Thank you Jim for taking good care of Winter!”


“She’s an excellent dog sitter who followed specific instructions regarding my dog’s care, diet, and routine. Kept me updated with messages or photos during her time with my dog. Also the environment is clean, safe and suitable for my dog.”


“I can’t recommend Vicky and her husband Bill enough! After interviewing several pet sitters, Vicky immediately stood out. Her home is spacious, clean, and incredibly comfortable—perfect for my dog. She took the time to really understand my pup’s needs and made every effort to accommodate her, creating a warm and loving environment. This was my third time booking with her after doing a couple of trial runs, and I recently left my dog in her care for 10 days. Vicky provided consistent, thoughtful updates every single day—complete with photos and videos that showed just how well my girl was doing. It was clear from my dog’s happy, calm demeanor when I picked her up that she had been truly cared for and loved like family. Both Vicky and Bill are attentive, gentle, and clearly passionate about animals. I feel incredibly lucky to have found them and will absolutely continue to book with them in the future.”


“Clio updated me everyday with my older golden retriever that had trouble adjusting to the new environment. Clio stayed with my baby and did a great job. I couldn't pick up my dog at the end of the stay and Clio was so generous to drop off my dog back to my place! Thank you Clio!”


“This was our 1st rover experience & it was superb. We received updates & photos throughout Parker's stay & he looked like he was in heaven. We will definitely be repeat customers. Ye is awesome.”



“Jessica provided wonderful care for our medium sized poodle dog “Pepper.” This was our first time leaving our beloved pet with Jessica’s family, but I felt very comfortable. We scheduled a meet and greet, then Pepper stayed for 10 days while we went on vacation. Every day we were apart, I received a text update on how our dog was doing along with a picture or video. I appreciated Jessica’s communication and faithfulness in reaching out while we were away, it set my mind at ease and allowed us to have a wonderful time visiting family. I also loved that Pepper was able to socialize with other dogs during her stay, in the comfort of a home environment and Jessica has a natural instinct for working with dogs :) Thank you Jessica for always responding quickly if I had any questions or concerns. I highly recommend her and will use her services again.”


“Philip has been so communicative and sends lots of photos. Such a friendly person and dogs are a huge part of his life. I will definitely be using his services again.”


“Smokey’s first stay with Madalyn was great! She’s patient and asked all about his habits and such. She was so responsive and provided updates. We are so grateful to have found her!”


“Georgina and her family were incredibly amazing with our 2 dogs for 4-5 days. They were patient with us during the meet and greet and then sent daily updates, we were concerned the dogs would be sad or confused but they had the best time at Georgina’s house! I highly recommend her service and would book her again in the future.”


“Ruby and Bryan did an amazing job taking care of Melo. They were professional, communicative, attentive to details/instructions, and went above my expectations for their weekend with Melo. The pictures and updates sent throughout the weekend clearly reflected the amazing time Melo had. I would highly recommend them, as the love for their own pets will extend to yours!”


“I believe this is Kimi’s third stay, and Kimi looks happy to stay..that makes me feel more comfortable and very happy!!! I feel like she’s in good hands with Peggy! & Larry!! 🤗🙏🏻”

“Alvin is an amazing sitter for Mochi. His constant attention to details and updates allowed us to enjoy our trips without worry. Mochi always comes back happy and content. Highly recommended!”


About: Lived in a multi-dog household for over 15 years providing care to pups of all ages (newborn puppies to seniors). Experienced in puppy care, senior care, medication administration, and rescue pups needing a little extra attention as they're getting adjusted to their new furrever homes. Although I don't personally provide training, I've had experience in going through training for our own pups and can support in maintaining the training that you have already in place. Guests are provided with care full-time. I'm available throughout the week and are generally flexible with pick up and drop off times. Though there may be some slight adjustments to the our daily routine, a general idea of our schedule for boarding consists of.. 6:30am potty break and playtime 7am breakfast and continued playtime 8:30am lounge/nap time Potty breaks every 3-4 hours 12:00pm -2:00pm Afternoon playtime some time during this time frame if the weather permits 5:30pm-7:00pm dinner around this time frame Evening play until 7:30pm-8pm 11:00pm for a final potty break We live in a fenced home that is double gated with a large spacious backyard. Guests are only allowed outside when there is human supervision. Guests are welcome to wrestle and play chase; however, if we do see there is an escalation in energy levels then we do a quick reset and separate guests for several minutes before returning to a lower energy of play behavior.

“Nicholas is a great at dog sitting. He paid attention to our needs and has a great home to host my two dogs. I recommend him strongly. Thank you, I will be booking with him again!”


“I boarded my two golden doodles with Jing last minute for memorial day weekend. They were the best host i’ve ever very had. Harley and Ivy went on multiple walks everyday and they were well loved, I can’t believe how much they were able to do while I was away I was very pleased with the service. Thank you”


“Best dog sitter!! Luis was so patient and kind with my little rescue dogs. We met before my trip, and he has a lovely yard with grass and a very calm nature. He sent me updates while I was out of town, and it’s obvious they got all the cuddles they needed while under his care. When I picked my dogs up they were calm, clean, and happy. Luis is hands down my first choice on Rover.”
