“The most amazing experience today while Alexis and his wife Melissa took care our sweet Darla. Being that she is still a puppy I’m always hesitant to leave her with someone I don’t know but from the initial time I let them I became comfortable and Darla was excited meeting them too. I will definitely reach out next time I need someone to take care of our puppy Darla.”


“What a little mountain retreat for my pupper at Laura&Brian's! He loved frolicking around their hilltop grounds surrounded by trees and nature! Their attentive care, extensive experience and expertise all made his stay a delightful respite with loads of fun with his fellow pupper lodgers! I love the "report card" they give after the visit concludes (a log of potty times, naps, meals, activities, etc.). So very helpful. Also, I packed my pupper shank steak, and Laura saved the bone for me in a nice zip-loc bag for my pupper to enjoy gnawing on it later. Very thoughtful.”


“I was looking for a daycare option for my corgi to get used to bigger dogs again after a bad experience with a loose dog. Brasilio gladly did a meet and greet with us and brought his Husky to meet Tucker. He was very laid back with Tucker and very comfortable giving him a chance to get acclimated to his dog. Tucker responded very well so I felt like he’d be in good hands w/ Brasilio. He was also very accommodating when he needed to stay overnight when I had a schedule change and wanted to just pick him up the next day. Tucker has been doing MUCH better with new dog friends thanks to Brasilio!”


“We were visiting LA and required a last minute sitter due to the hot weather. Edwin and his family were quick to respond and accepted Java last minute! Edwin and his family were so great! We got the updates that we wanted throughout the day and Java looked like she was having fun. Java was spoiled during her stay and even received some homemade dinner. We would definitely recommend you leave your pet with them and we would if we are back in the area.”


“Janelle was great! She was able to help us out with less than a weeks notice for weekend daycare. She was super communicative and sent updates and photos. Very flexible and kind. Our dog came home happy and ready to sleep so I know she had a wonderful day with a good amount of activity. Overall very easy experience and felt our dog was well cared for!”


“We are repeat clients, and like always, they have taken thorough and extreme care of our Golden, plenty of communication through the day! He always comes back tired and happy, and when we drop him off he’s eager to see them and play! We love their hospitality!”



“My pup is always happy and tired when she comes home from Lillybeth’s home! I am always comfortable knowing that my girl is being taken care of and loved. Will continue to trust Lillybeth with my dog!”



“Bernadette took great care of Wensley. He seemed really content when I picked him up, and I appreciated her flexibility as far as drop off time. She's a great communicator and kept me posted with pictures. I will definitely be using Bernadette again for Wensley's future doggy daycare needs. Also, he loved the extra little doggy treats Bernadette had made. Such a great little surprise.”


“Amazing! Kindness, warmth and complete kindness and super consideration! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I’m so grateful. I’m a worried mom, as are others, but I was reassured and greatly respected. My puppy was so loved and cared for! I couldn’t ask for more. 100% recommendation.”


“Erinn, thank you for loving my Slinky and taking care of him like one of your own 💕 I appreciate you taking the time to walk him, feed him, and give me updates/ sharing pictures with me! I’m so glad we found you💕”


“Vivian was really great with our pup. She’s responsive and provides those updates that always put a smile on our face throughout the day. Our pup seemed to be comfortable there and looked like having fun too! Would definitely request for her services again.?”


About: We are a young couple with collectively around 18 years of experience taking care of our own dogs growing up, dogsitting for friends/family, and caring for our own dog. We’ve cared for dogs ranging from puppies to adults. We work from home and are readily available to attend to the needs of your pup at any time! We both work from home and have very flexible schedules! We are open to watching your pup on the weekdays and weekends as long as we have advanced notice. We can shape our schedule around your feeding, sleeping, bathroom, exercise needs. We will only take one client at a time to ensure that we give your loved ones the best attention! Our house has a fenced, spacious yard for your pup to run around in. We have a doggy door that your pup can use if independent (can also teach how to use the doggy door). We have our own friendly pup who will LOVE to play with yours and will share his toys! We can easily crate your pup or separate in the kitchen (with a pet friendly gate) if needed, but they are free to roam our home and get comfortable anywhere in our home. There are many dog beds available as well. Our neighborhood is safe and dog-friendly! We are available for meet and greets to ensure you feel comfortable with the stay here!

About: I’ve had several dogs throughout my life and will probably be getting another one or two within the next year. My main option on here is dog boarding but, depending on the dog boarding schedule, I or somebody else on my team could also be open to do drop ins, house sitting, or walks, especially for those who have already used our boarding services. Please ask about these additional services after a confirmed boarding session. I’m in the middle of taking a few years off from teaching high school because A) Who couldn’t use a break from that? and B) I am focusing on building up a short-term rental business (Airbnb mostly). As an Airbnb host I spend a lot of time at home and have found that one of my favorite things to do is play with dogs in the yard (especially, when there’s more than one of them here at the same time!) and take them on trips to the park. I love dogs and am very reliable, trustworthy, and flexible. I live in a house with a fenced yard and all of the instructions you leave will be followed to keep your little buddy happy & safe! I am home most of the day and when I do leave it's usually only for an hour or two at a time. Most of what I do at home (working on a computer, household chores, yard work) I do in the presence of whatever dogs happen to be staying at that time. One limitation that I do try to stick to is to avoid scheduling drop-offs or pickups on Sundays before 10:00 am. Unfortunately, Rover doesn't give me the option to block off those times without blocking out the entire day so adding this note here is the only way to give you a heads up (hopefully, you read this before booking). I have a fenced yard and usually board 2 or 3 dogs at a time so that they have playmates. If ever I leave the house, dogs are left inside. Dogs that stay here must be up to date on shots as well as on a flea-prevention medication.

About: My honesty, care, and reliability will put your worries at ease. I know how hard it can be to place your pet in another person’s care. I am happy to help and keep these babies safe while you are away Note: open to caring for large dogs on a case by case basis. My business allows me time and flexibility to take walk breaks and work from home. I would love to get a dog or cat again once I settle down in a more comfortable and larger space. In the meantime, I’d like to spend time with pets and help other pet owners at the same time. Safety for your pet will be highly considered and will follow all instructions to gain trust and care of your pet and space when applicable

About: Animals have always been a passion of mine. If I could own/adopt/foster every dog in the world, I would! Since unfortunately that cannot be reality, I’m doing what comes a close second…being surrounded by pets & providing a paw-sitive experience for pets in the area! I dedicate this work to my late childhood dog, Barley. 15 years was not enough. I have experience with senior pets. I am patient & trustworthy. Looking forward to the opportunity! I work from home Monday - Friday but am available after 5pm. Weekends are pretty free. I am available any time & am flexible with the schedule. I have a big backyard that pets are free to roam under supervision. During the summer time, play time outside is very limited. Water is always readily available. I have a 5 year old dog of my own who is energetic & loves to play. Pets can easily be crated if needed/preferred.

About: Hello! My name is Jen, and I share this Rover account with my partner, Jamie. He also has his own Rover account if you’d like to check his references. We work together on all Rover jobs, so if you book with us, both of us will attend the meet and greet. We believe having both of us present is beneficial, especially if your pet needs round-the-clock care. I hold a degree in Exotic Animal Training and Management and have experience as an animal trainer. Previously, I worked at the Animal Actors show at Universal Studios, where I cared for over 40 dogs of various breeds and sizes, as well as many cats. I also have experience working in vet clinics and am skilled in administering medication. My true passion lies in wildlife conservation, and I recently completed a master's degree in Conservation Wildlife at Miami University. Currently, I work at the Los Angeles Zoo, with the ultimate goal of contributing to the well-being of animals worldwide. Note: Our pricing is negotiable. If you have a pet that is particularly easy to care for, or if your pet has special needs, we can discuss the details and adjust the pricing accordingly. Feel free to reach out so we can find a solution that works for both you and your pet. We are looking forward to the opportunity to meet and care for your pet! I work full time S-Wed. Jamie works gigs in the evenings or nighttime as needed. We live together in a house with a yard if you do decide to do a boarding with us. If you decide to do a sitting we both stay at the house. He is also on Rover, please ask for a link to his profile if interested. We have a large house with fenced yard. I can crate the dogs if that is something that is preferred, and I am a professional animal trainer. Someone will be with your pet 24/7. We have a dog small/medium size dog in the house named Emmy, as well as a small dog named Ramon. Therefore for boardings your dogs must get along with others.

About: I'm a cat and dog owner myself, my fur baby is 7 years old. I rescued him from the pound when he was 3 months old (it was love at first sight for me) and a 3-year-old lab/retriever. I rescued him, and he's amazing. I will take care of your fur baby like it's mine. I work remotely, so I am home all day and night. I only step out too go to the gym, and to take and pick up my daughter from school. I have a big house, so your pet will have plenty of space to run around in and friendly pets to play with and have fun.

Rachel & Preston L.
“Rachel & Preston were amazing! They watched Louie for a couple of hours on three consecutive days, and he felt comfortable with them right away. Louie loved playing with their sweet dog, Winston, and came home happy and tired each time. I really appreciated how welcoming and caring they were — I’d definitely trust them to watch Louie again!”


Robert T.
“I used to have a small West Highland White Terrier named Horchata while I rented a room in one of Robert’s properties a few years ago and he was always happy to take care of her while I was gone. Robert knew how important it was to me to walk her daily and dedicate time for play. He saw that Horchata got her exercise and made sure she felt loved by playing ball with her while I was out of town. At one point, I worked nights and when Horchata had an infection, he offered to check on her during her sleep while she was ill. Robert made me feel my doggy was in safe and loving hands and I would definitely recommend him for dog sitting!”


Nancy H.
“Nancy is the best!! She walked my little Boots 3x a week and was so loving and gentle, especially toward the end of his days. Had to hire her full time for a few weeks, and she helped with his medication and held him like a baby to ease his anxiety. I don’t know what we would have done without her! Thank you Nancy 🩷”

Jennifer K.

“I could not recommend Jen more! I have a high energy Australian shepherd puppy that can be, no surprise, a bit of a handful. Jen does such a good job with him and texts me pictures of him throughout the day so I don’t have to miss him too much. She’s got years of experience and an animal care degree to back it up! If you’re looking for someone you can trust to watch your animal best friend, Jens the one.”


Caroline G.
“Caroline is a very caring and loving person. She absolutely loves animals and is great with them. She’s very kind, loving and has a lot of patience.”
