“Once again, Frida had a blast with Amorn and Adam. I can tell these two just have big hearts for dogs. Frida gets treated like the princess she so clearly thinks she is. I also love that she's getting to meet and play with other dogs. Thanks again for your time and care and the great pics and communication. Will see you next time.”
“Marc and Lori were so wonderful to my Freddie. It was the perfect home away from home. They kept me updated with lots of fun photos, they are extremely responsive and even sent Freddie home with Christmas presents. I would highly recommend!’”
“Barbara was amazing with Sherman! He is always a bit shy at the start and she was very understanding. He warmed up super fast and had a great visit!! If we are in the area again, we will absolutely use Barbara to watch Sherman!”
“It was my first time leaving Artie with someone new for an extended period, and Nadege and Camille were wonderful. I knew he was in good hands after meeting them, and I got pictures everyday showing how at-home he was with them. I’m thrilled to have found them and look forward to me next time ❤️.”
“They are the best! They take such amazing care of Frank. We know he’s in amazing hands. We love all the pics and updates and can see how happy Frank is. Thank you!!!”
“Nancy is a best-in-class dog sitter. She takes our pup in and gives him only the best care and attention, keeping him active and entertained. I feel good about leaving my dog with Nancy, knowing I have nothing to worry about.”
“Radka and her family watched over my fur babies, and were amazing sitters! They were very caring and took good care of both my pups. I would go back to her again if I need a dogsitter for my pups 😊”
“It’s always comforting to know that my senior dog will be safe and cared for by Kristina so that I can fully relax on my vacation. Thank you, Kristina!”
About: Hi! I am a dog mom myself, so my husband and I will work together to take great care of your pooch! I have a Golden Retriever, Toby. He’s high energy and loves to play so sometimes comes in hot with others. Please let me know if there have been any issues with that with your dog. I had a little one for 14 years so comfortable with all sizes of dogs- I love them all. My schedule is pretty flexible and I will definitely try to accommodate your timing needs. I am home most of the day Tues-Fri. My husband is home on weekends and can be WFH flexible on Mondays for dog care as needed. Our golden, Toby, always gets a walk in the morning and plays throughout the day. Access to the fenced backyard is available all day. I have a fenced front and back yard. Dogs have access to the backyard all day when we’re home, and will be encouraged to go potty before we leave to go anywhere. No unsupervised front yard time, but if we’re doing stuff, they can hang out. We can crate other dogs, but Toby does not get crated, so happy to cover the crate to reduce fomo!
“Amber was attentive and reliable, and our dog liked her right away. We had a long list of care instructions and she was patient and willing to accommodate our dog’s needs. Amber provided daily photo updates and was responsive before, during, and after boarding. Our dog came home looking healthier and we could tell Amber took great care of him. Would highly recommend and would love to rebook in the future!”
“The longest my little Josie had ever been away from home was 2 days (and that was with Keely a few weeks prior) She did so great, that this time she stayed a full 7 days! Not only was this a big step for us, I was going to be out of the country. I never would have felt comfortable with anyone else. I received many updates and photos each day and Josie was not only safe and being taken well care of, she looked like she was having a ball! I called it “Kamp Keely”! If you are looking for an excellent, caring sitter, I can’t recommend anyone higher than Keely.”
“Nicole was incredible. Simply. I'm having a hard time putting into words just how wonderful and communicative Nicole was. This was our first time leaving our puppy Pepe (he's just about 6 months) and our first time using Rover. I combed through many different sitters and hundreds of reviews and found Nicole & Michael - boy am I glad I did. I was worried because Pepe still has puppy energy but Nicole made me feel comfortable he was in great hands - and he was. After we dropped him off and met Nicole, every worry I ever had completely vanished. We picked him up and he couldn't have looked happier and healthier. Thank you Nicole and Michael! We will be repeaters for life!”
“Tyler was a fantastic sitter for my dog Rus! He was extremely caring, and Rus warmed up to him fast. He was easy to communicate with the entire time and sent lots of updates. I would highly recommend Tyler!”
“Jo was wonderful! My cats - who can be very nervous with new people - seemed to settle in seamlessly with Jo and it was reassuring to know they were in good hands. Jo was so accommodating in extending their stay after I experienced travel delays. Wonderful experience overall!”
“Breanna is the best! She cares for my pups with so much love and attention, they are happy and comfortable in her home. And I really appreciate the pictures and status updates she sends. Thank you Breanna for your excellence.”
“I had the best experience with Brittany! I was really nervous to leave my dog for so many days because it was his first time being boarded, but Brittany made the whole thing so seamless. Her communication was great and she sent plenty of pictures. She did great with giving my dog his daily meds and gave me so much peace of mind while I was gone. I Highly recommend!!❤️”
“Wow! Kimberly made the whole process so easy. We had a last minute trip come up and she responded quickly to our request and continued to be communicative throughout Buddy’s stay. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing our dog was well cared for!”
Universal City dog parents share their Rover experiences
Christine was awesome! My little boy has severe separation anxiety and I needed someone like her to care for him. I worried he wouldn't eat, or worse drink. Christine made sure that he did both. He wasn't touching the food I sent, so she fed him some chicken which was a treat for him. Christine gave him love and attention and I so appreciate it. If I do need to leave him again, she'll be my first choice!
We had a great experience with Robert as our sitter! He took wonderful care of our two dogs, including our puppy who is still very new to being away from us. We were a little nervous about leaving her, but Robert was patient, attentive, and made sure both dogs were comfortable and well cared for. We received updates and photos that gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs came home happy, healthy, and clearly well loved. We would absolutely book with him again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!
Keely is an absolute gem! She’s so kind, proactive, organized, great communicator, and made everything a breeze. Our senior dog has diabetes, allergies, some picky eating habits, and is a Velcro dog. Keely was so excellent about his meal times, insulin injections, encouraging him to eat his full meals, and keeping him near. Sometimes our dog can get stressed by a change, but came back from his stay with Keely relaxed and very happy!
Jessica and Michael were great! I booked to go out of town for my grandfather’s funeral and they were so accommodating. My boys Codie and Chase enjoyed themselves as I could tell through all the photos and videos sent. I highly recommend Jessica and Michael and will be using them again in the future. Grateful to have found my LA sitters! 🙏🏼
Barbara was wonderful with my dog, Mila. Mila wakes up very early and needs extra attention, and Barbara was patient, caring, and attentive to her needs. I felt comfortable knowing Mila was in good hands. I highly recommend Barbara to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dog sitter.
If you are in search of a fantastic sitter for your pup, look no further! This was our first time boarding with Jodie and it definitely won’t be the last. Jodie is great with dogs and does whatever she can to make them feel comfortable in her home. The communication was unmatched, giving us the confidence our pup was is good hands. We feel so fortunate to have found Jodie and look forward to booking with her again.
