“Nyessa is simply wonderful! The way she cared for my dog was beyond what I could have hoped for. She’s so gentle, kind, and attentive! it felt like leaving my fur baby with family. I’m so thankful for her kindness and can’t wait to book with her again!”

“If we could rate more than 5 stars we would!! Corinne and Louis took such great care of our Barry boy! They were super great at communicating and keeping us updated with pictures of Barry throughout his stay. They kept Barry active with playing fetch and going on plenty of walks! We definitely will be booking again in the future! Thank you so much Corinne and Louis!”

“We recently used Soonok as a dog sitter for the first time to care for our senior terrier, and the experience exceeded our expectations. Naturally, we were a bit anxious leaving our older dog in someone else’s care, but Soonok immediately put us at ease. Soonok was incredibly kind, patient, and attentive, taking extra care to accommodate our dog’s needs and pace. What really stood out was the consistent communication—we received daily updates and videos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dog was in great hands and being treated with genuine care and affection. We’re so grateful for the experience and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Soonok to others. We will very likely be using her services again in the future.”

“The best Rover experience we have ever had. Julie and Marie and their family are so kind and attentive. They genuinely cared about our pup and went the extra mile to make her feel at home. They sent us very sweet updates throughout her stay and were great communicators. My only regret is that we didn’t meet them sooner!”
“Very kind and knowledgeable. Communicated by sending photos of pups and keeping posted about their interaction with other pups. I would work with Arriyanna again. Thank you so much for taking care of my babies!”

“Marilyn and family did an outstanding job with Chowder. I know she worked overtime because Chowder is a puppy with lLOTS of energy and is still in training. He came home happy and she even taught him a new trick. I’m really thankful for the incredible care they took of my puppy and for the daily updates she provided. It really put me at ease. Thank you so much!!!”


“Thank you for doing such an amazing job taking care of Koda. She got lots of attention & exercise and can tell she was happy & comfortable. I got lots of updates throughout my trip which was great. Will definitely be booking again 😊”

“Megan and her family provided exceptional care for Ollie, ensuring he was treated as one of their own. If you are feeling anxious about leaving your pets, rest assured that they are in good hands. I was in a bind and they came through for me. Thank you very much! I will use services again. 😇”

“We love Monique and her family. This is our 2nd booking with her and she and her family took Biggie in as their own for a few weeks while we were on vacation. She is always responsive and attentive to Biggie and his needs as a Frenchie. We could tell how happy he was with the pictures and he didn't want to leave when he got picked up. I recommend her to anyone and look forward to see them again and entrusting Biggie in great hands. Thank you so much to Monique and her family. <3 Biggie Ingrid and Patrick”

“Rory just finished her week long staycation with Marlo and she couldn’t be happier. Rory was pampered and adored with the best care. Book Marlo if you want the best for your furbaby.”

“Our dog Blue had the best time staying with Dianiris and her family. From the get go, Dianiris responded quickly to texts and was very kind and reassuring (I might have been having a little separation anxiety of my own lol). I really appreciated all of the check-ins and photos she sent while Blue was with her too. Dianiris will definitely be our go-to sitter if we are back in the area!”

“Our lab puppy boarded with Laura overnight. This is the first time that we have gone through Rover for a dog sitter. We are so happy that we have found them and found Laura. We are completely happy with this sitter. She was totally thorough in all areas of care for our puppy. We are blessed to have found someone to keep him so safe.”

About: Big heart, gentle hands, and plenty of treats! I’m dedicated to providing a fun, stress-free environment for your pets. Whether it’s long walks or cozy cuddles, your fur baby will be in the best of care with me. Full-time care for your best friend! Because I’m a stay-at-home mom, I have the flexibility to provide around-the-clock attention. Our typical day includes cozy indoor playtime and daily neighborhood walks with my baby in tow. It’s the perfect environment for pets who love a consistent routine and a family atmosphere. I can't wait to welcome your pup into our daily adventures! I’m a firm believer that pets are family! When your fur baby stays with me, they get full access to cuddles on the couch and endless yard fun (fenced). If I’m visiting your home, I take pride in being a respectful guest who focuses entirely on keeping your pet happy and tired out. You can expect plenty of photo updates, quick communication, and one very happy pet upon your return!
“Joshua and Jennifer were absolutely amazing. I felt so comfortable leaving my two pug babies with them for the weekend knowing they were in such good hands. They had so much fun and were even spoiled with Halloween doggy treats, even came home with little goodies! Jennifer was wonderful with communicating with me the whole time as well which was huge for me. Thanks you guys! Will be taking them here again :)”

“Absolutely fantastic sitter and truly cares for the dogs she watches! My dog had a medical issue during boarding and she went above and beyond to change out his food and provide me updates. Couldn’t be happier”

“Christa was the best dog sitter. She went above and beyond while taking care of Maverick and I can’t say enough good things about this experience. I would definitely recommend her to watch your fur baby.”

“Cecilia could not have been more wonderful! She is a true dog lover with great energy and one of the most beautiful yards I have ever seen! I was never worried about my little girl for one minute and enjoyed the great pictures and updates Cecilia sends daily. I highly recommend! ”

“Fantastic cat sitter. Available on short notice and took amazing care of 2 cats. She sent frequent updates including pictures and videos, easy to communicate with, and our cats loved her. She was very kind and loving to our boys. We had to go out of town on short notice and she was very open to our needs. Really appreciated will definitely be utilizing her services next time”

Megan is amazing ! 5/5 stars ! She’s reliable, friendly and a great communicator. I booked Megan for boarding services for my husky. She provided thoughtful texts updates and the cutest pictures of my dog. She even gave my dog a toy as a gift, I will def be booking Megan again in the future !

Another successful stay with Marlo. Fourth of july, we have a block party and our house is kids central. I It was better for the dog to not be here. Plus the public fireworks are only a couple blocks away. We felt the dog would be safer, alittle further from it and knew that Marlo would keep kiwi safe, as well as have a great time. She went out of the way to give kiwi options to feel comfortable during the armageddon fireworks that happen in long beach neighborhoods, on top of the public displays. I can't recommender highly enough and know that we will be using her many more times in the future

Elise does a great job puppy sitting my 13 week old min pin. He can't walk around outside yet because of still doing his shots, so he needs to be carried around in a sling/bag when she walks other dogs. He gets exposure while remaining safe, so I really appreciate that!

Monique was a loving, caring, and responsible sitter for our 1.5 year-old Mini Poodle, Kiki. Monique sent us Kiki updates and photos every day... even more during the first days when we were most anxious. The photos and updates showed Kiki playing with Monique's kids, snuggling with them on the sofa, enjoying her treats, and going on walks. That reassurance was much appreciated! Monique's house is neat and clean, in a nice neighborhood, with a secured backyard, park space nearby, and lots of nearby places to walk to. Kiki came home in high spirits and weight-neutral. Overall, this is a great sitter and a great place for Kiki when we're away on vacation.

I have to admit, I was a bit anxious about leaving Lacey at daycare. I’m definitely a "helicopter parent" when it comes to our princess, and I think I suffered from separation anxiety way more than she did! Fortunately, Lisa was absolutely awesome. She kept us updated and sent photos of Lacey to check in, which totally put my mind at ease. After we booked, she even received another request from a client and took the time to check in with me first to make sure we were comfortable with it—which we deeply appreciated. Lisa is incredibly flexible, understanding, and cared for our little girl as if she were her own fur baby. We highly recommend her and will absolutely be using her services again. Lisa, if you see this, THANK YOU!

Kim and Matt were great to Jellybean and provided a lot of pictures and updates! Unfortunately Jellybean did not handle being in a new environment well, but it was no fault of Kim and Matt. They continued to provide a lot of walks, attention, and great care to Jellybean despite her unexpected behavior. I would highly recommend Kim and Matt to anyone looking for highly attentive and caring sitters! They are truly the nicest family and I feel absolutely terrible about Jellybean’s unexpected behavior with them. They handled her extremely well and I wish them the best of luck in their dog-sitting endeavors because they’re such wonderful people!
