Highly-rated overnight sitters - Catalina Vista-Blenman-Elm

“Sheila is wonderful and Reba had a great time With her new friend Willow. She sent lots of pictures and daily updates. I will definitely book Reba's next stay with Sheila. ”

“Ron is just the best. I was so surprised to get pictures the first morning and throughout the stay. My family and I were so confident our entire trip we didn't worry and we're able to focus on our tasks. Highly recommend.”

“Amazing dog family. I had to go out of town for a few days and didn't have any problem at all with fear or apprehension because I knew my animal is cared for. Extra playtime and walking because my dog is super energetic and needs the exercise. Thanks for the great job.”

“Beth was so wonderful taking care of our energetic golden retriever puppy while we were out of the country. She sent the perfect amount of updates and our dog had an amazing time ☺️”

“Marraya and her mother went above and beyond to accommodate our tiny but mighty chihuahuas for an entire weekend. They cared and loved our babies like if they were their own. Fur babies had to board at Marrayas house which was so clean and smelled so fresh. Abe and Zena do have special requirements and they were all fulfilled. Marraya was very commutative with updates and cute photos! She will be our go to sitter for any trips! 🙌🙏🙏”


“Royce and Bentley had a great time exploring in the yard and rolling on the turf. Royce enjoyed his belly rubs, and Bentley got plenty of exercise from playing ball. They were so well taken care of, I’m not sure they even missed me!”

“Gale was very easy to work with and did a great job looking after Wilma. My dog is a sweet old lady and Gale did a great job handling dogs with different energy levels and needs. She will definitely be at the top of my list the next time I need a sitter.”

“Miss Vicky is amazing. This was our first booking, but will not be our last. She communicated with us every day and responded within minutes if we reached out. I cannot say enough nice things about Vicky. She is an absolute gem! Thank you Vicky!!”

“So close to my house and Rascal had a yard to sniff. He liked the other dogs too which I was hoping for. It was the first time I left him with a stranger but he seemed to do fine. I would take him there again!”

“Darlene watched our little Sophie for 5 days, she sent pictures and communicated fast and friendly. Her environment is safe and dog friendly. She treated Sophie as part of her family. She took excellent care of our 12yr old pup, and I highly recommend her!”

“My dog misses Pamela! We did a three day trial to see how my cattle mix dog would do in my absence and with her somewhat hesitant personally. Pamela has exceptional dog handling expertise that I did not expect and she was absolutely wonderful with my dog! She came home happy and I could tell she would love to go back. I'm completely at ease and comfortable in booking a longer stay. I know my dog would love the opportunity to stay with Pamela again, and I can't think of anyone else I can say that about. In sincere appreciation, thank you, Pamela.”

“Daniel is fantastic! He’s recently watched our dog twice and is very communicative and accommodating. We had a flight cancellation and he was able to book another night no problem. We’re so glad to have someone we feel safe leaving our little guy with. Thanks!”

“Kat took excellent care of my little Reina. I received updates on her quite frequently. Reina was taken on several walks and appeared to get a long well with Kat’s small pups. Thank you for all the care!”

“They did an amazing job! They’re such a sweet family. Trevor has glaucoma and has a very specific medication application that needs to be done twice a day which made me nervous about not taking him with me to my vacation. However, when I got back his eyes looked so much better than before! So, I knew they took care of him well. They updated me daily with pictures and he looked so happy during his stay. Will be booking again.”


“We needed someone to watch our older dog while we were away for a week. Being new to the area we really didn't know anyone and we wanted our dog to be in a home environment where she wouldn't be alone. My wife found Cynthia on Rover and we went over to meet her. We were immediately impressed by the secure yard and surroundings. Our dog immediately bonded with her little dog Chewey. To make sure, we arranged two "play days" to make sure that all went well. Everything went better than expected and I, being an overly protective pet parent, felt at ease with leaving our dog for a week. I had nothing to worry about. Cynthia took great care of our dog, sent us regular updates including pictures and videos. She let our dog settle-in at her house where ever our dog felt most at ease and took her out for regular walks and time in the yard. When we came back we found that our dog had such a good time that I'm not sure she wanted to leave! Needless to say that Cynthia will be our first choice to watch our dog whenever the need arises! Your dog will be in good hands.”

“Kat took such great care of Luna. We were able to meet ahead of time for my dog to get acquainted with kat’s dog and house. Kat sent photos and kept us looped in the whole time we were away. I felt 100% confident that my dog was well cared for and happy.”

“Barbara is amazing. My Bentley is a very sensitive little golden doodle. Bentley gets separation anxiety and depression. Barbara went the extra mile to make Bentley feel loved and reassured. Definitely plan on booking more roofy day cares with Barbara ❤️”

“Jose was very attentive to Aria's needs, and was able to get her to take her medication every day! He also sent us regular updates about how she was doing. Would definitely book again!”

“Eden did an awesome job watching over my two kitties! The cats seemed very happy and comfortable with her right away! Would definitely recommend booking her for your next get away!”

“Chloe took great care of our cat while we were out of town! We loved the great updates and pictures. Chloe is a great communicator and easy to work with, highly recommended!!”


“Very communicative and left detailed reports of how my cat was doing. She included photos in her reports, too, which was so fun to see while away. Absolutely recommend her for taking care of your fur baby!”


“Did a great job dropping in on my kitties! They have a specific feeding routine that requires measuring out raw food with a scale and dosing medication into one of their meals. She handled both tasks with ease and seemed incredibly comfortable with the routine. She even went the extra mile by turning my plant lights on and off! She is very friendly, offers highly competitive pricing, and left me feeling completely confident that my cats were in good hands. I look forward to booking with her again!”

“Pamela was great with the kitties. She communicated often and sent lots of photos. The kittens were happy to see me and had clearly been well cared for. I'll reach out again if I need a sitter!”

“Lauren was so wonderful with Junie that I booked her twice, and I easily would again. Not only did she send me lots of updates and pictures, but she also bought her a new scratching board and kept her great company. Don't hesitate to book Lauren, she will take great care of your pets. Thanks again, Lauren!”


“Heidi is great with the cat, communicates really well, clarifies and asks questions, and goes above and beyond. I feel comfortable leaving two of the most important things in my life to her when I travel.”

“Sarah was amazing, we're so glad we had someone like her to check in on our beloved kitty while we were away! She even went above and beyond when she cleaned up the mess from Javelinas spreading our trash around our garage. We're so appreciative of her willingness to do that as disgusting as is probably was. We would definitely book Sarah in the future and would recommend her to anyone! Thank you Sarah!!!!”


“El was so sweet and a wonderful sitter for my kitty over the weekend. Excellent communication and lots of photos in the daily updates. I came back to a very tidy apartment and happy cat. I would definitely book her again!”


“Marlee took incredible care of our kitties while we were on vacation for almost a week. We'd never left them alone that long before and were very nervous. But with every visit, Marlee sent detailed updates and the cutest pictures (lots of them were action shots of the kitties playing)! Even our shy kitty took only a few days to warm up to her. Marlee was also very communicative and responsive throughout the whole process. She'll definitely be our first choice to care for Kal and Syl next time we leave town! Thank you, Marlee!”


“Alex did an amazing job with my cats. I really appreciated all of her detailed feedback while I was away. I’m thankful that she was available, as were my cats <3”

“Rachel was fantastic! She was easy to communicate with and flexible when my plans changed. She sent great updates and pictures, I could tell she loved Mango and Mango loved her!”

“Sidney is just tremendous. She must be because my notoriously shy and skittish cat came out to greet her on the couch. That’s never happened with any sitter, so I appreciate her obvious skills with felines! Very easy to communicate with as well. Very highly recommend!”


About: I worked at a boarding business for cats and dogs and was around many different breeds, sizes, and ages of cats. In this job I had to clean out their litter box, feed them their desired food, and also give medicine to the ones that needed it. I also had to play and cuddle and spend time with each cat during a shift. I have always grown up around cats, my first ever pet was a cat, and I own a cat now as well. I can pick up on their moods fairly quickly and know basic knowledge of cats health.

“Patricia is amazing! She was so loving to my little fur babies! She went above and beyond to get my shy cats to love her. She spoiled them (with my permission) and they really warmed up to her. She was respectful of my home as well!! I’m so thankful she watched my kitties!”

“Taylor did a great job checking in on our sweet Snawfus. I appreciated her timely communication, availability & kindness. I loved getting some picture updates as well. We will definitely use her services again.”


About: I have been around cats my entire life. Currently the wife and I are parents to a brother and sister team of kittens and as a work from home house husband all I can say is the term "cat dad" gets thrown on me way too often. The past 20 years that I have lived in Tucson, our home has been a haven to a wide loving variety of fuzzy buddies and I would very much like to put my longtime experience to work for you. I am mature but a kid at heart, flexible schedule, reliable transportation, not afraid of stinky cat boxes or stinkier wet cat food, and, above all, can sit and play with your purr pals for as long as they need. Or you need. Or both. You get the picture. Cheers!

Perfect for high energy dogs - Catalina Vista-Blenman-Elm
“Melissa is amazing! Our pup took to her instantly and seemed happy and comfortable really quickly. Mellisa is great about sending pictures and a little report card at the end of a stay. She is a kind, organized and it’s obvious how good she is with animals! Highly, highly recommend her!!”

“So glad I found Beth and her doggie haven. Ollie recently lost his best friend and needs some extra love and support while I am away long hours at work. Beth was able to accommodate my times and I loved meeting her and her pups. Ollie had a great time and will be coming back soon!”

“Katarina was fabulous with our dog Freya - her house is perfect for Freya! Katarina was very communicative and made sure Freya had all she needed for the day. Will definitely stay again!”

“She was excellent. We dropped the dogs off super early in the morning before we had to be on the boat for scuba diving. She was all ready for our dogs. She sent us the cutest videos and pictures through out the day. Made my husband and I feel very secure and comfortable.”

“Chris was great! Super flexible to work with and sent plenty of update pictures and videos showing me how much fun Pickles was having! I will definitely be using him again next time I’m in town!”

“Pamela was absolutely amazing with our 14 year old Benji. She made his stay very comfortable, and she sent us pictures to let us know he was happy and safe!”

About: I grew up with dogs and have been caring for them since I was young, so being around them feels natural to me. I’ve helped friends, family, and neighbors with walking, feeding, bathing, and giving their dogs attention and exercise. I’m reliable, patient, and make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I wanted to become a Conservation Biologist at one point of my life instead I went into Public Health! My schedule is flexible, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting, and I make sure they get lots of attention, playtime, and care while you’re away. I'm a PhD student and do a lot of work from home. Live close to campus. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment in my pet-friendly apartment, with access to a small yard and nearby Himmel Park for regular walks and exercise. I carefully follow all care instructions, monitor pets closely, and ensure they feel secure and comfortable at all times. I'm a traveler and can't have my own pets but a temporary pet companion is always welcome and adored!
“Darlene has been amazing! My dog Rosie seems to really love her! Rosie was able to immediately feel at home and Darlene has been so caring and loving toward her. I hate leaving Rosie, but I felt really good about leaving her with Darlene, who is such a caring and dog-understanding person.”

“Steve is a great sitter for my 2 best friends. He is particularly kind and tolerant with my mini poodle Molly, who is completely blind. Steve had a blind dog, too, and understands her specific needs and quirks Thank you, Steve!!”

“Very nice young woman! My Ranger seemed very calm and relaxed in her home when I went to pick him up. He is just a young pup and she was able to manage him. I was really happy with her quick response to my last minute request, it was a life saver! Would recommend!”


About: I've had dogs most of my life. First was Lance, a Springer Spaniel, when i was 4-yrs old. Add German Shorthair Pointers, Weimeraners, Labs, both English and Anerican Cocker Spaniels, terrier mix breeds and my current pup is a Long Hair Chihuahua. Most of my dogs have been shelter rescues. Also, I foster dogs for local shelters. I am retired and spend most of my time at home working in my new garden reading, or crafting. When we have dog guests, our time is devoted primarily to our visitors. Human away time rarely exceeds 4-hrs per day. I have a large fenced yard to run and play in whenever they want Chewy, the Chihuahua, is a friendly companion. Indoors is a dog-friendly/dog priority 3-bdrm home. Plenty of space if a visitor needs some quiet privacy or a mim with pups wants separation. Daily walks add to our exercise regime. Balls, frisbees and dogs are shared. Treats abound!

“Jennie is a great host, my dog had a great time at daycare and boarding. Jennie introduces the dogs carefully, makes sure they all get along and took extra care to make sure my dog ate well and stayed on his medications. I can't recommend Jennie enough, particularly if yu have a small dog.”

“We are so grateful to have connected with Lesley. She is a remarkable human being and she treated our Edith with so much love and care. Already looking forward to their next day together. Can not thank you enough, Lesley. Blessings and peace to you.”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Catalina Vista-Blenman-Elm
“Sarah was amazing! She was interactive with my pups and patient and willing to come out and meet them and get to know their personalities. Will definitely be using her in the future.”

“Took great care with our dog, Bella. It took no time at all for Bella to warm to Logan & get excited to see Logan arrive each day for her walks. Would recommend and use Logan as a dog walker. Good communication about arrival times too, that helped me get Bella ready for her walk ahead of time. Thank you Logan from both Bella & myself.”

About: I worked at a boarding business for about a year and a half for dogs and cats. I worked with all different sizes and breeds, and ages of dogs and cats. My job tittle including playing and cuddling with the animals, feeding the animals, cleaning where they stayed, and giving medicine to the animals that required it. I have a little more than basic knowledge of dogs and cats health and always try to stay up to date with that. I dog sit and cat sit for friends and families regularly aswell. I have always grown up around animals and if you were to ask anyone who knows me they will say I have always wanted to work with animals since I knew what a job was. I am currently a college student and am majoring in wildlife conservation, while that's not specifically a major for cats and animals I still have and will learn a lot about those species as well!! I currently don't have a job so my schedule is really open. I work out everyday usually in the mornings to early afternoons. But I have a very flexible schedule! I have a fenced backyard just under 2acres of land. So it is very spacious for bigger dogs to run around in! I am able to walk dogs for however long.

About: Growing up I’ve always had dogs in my family. However now that I’m an out-of-state student, I’ve been feeling homesick and it especially doesn’t help that I’m not around any dog love anymore. I heard about Rover through a friend and felt that this would help me with what I’ve been feeling. I can’t wait to meet your furry friends! 🐾 I’m a full time student at the U of A with only morning classes, and plenty of time afterwards to have a fun playdate with your furry friend! 🐾 I’m a calm and respectful individual, who will do anything to assure you that your furry friend will be safe at all times in my care.
About: I have experience taking care of boarding dogs and cats at an animal hospital. I worked for them for a little over a year and have gotten lots of experience with dogs and cats. I used to raise puppies and train them how to sit and have manners for about two years with my parent. I have dog sitting experience and house sitting experience. I also want to note that I am a full time college student, my schedule is below for more information. Just keep scrolling and you will see “schedule” section. Thank you :) I am currently going to school at the UofA full time during the weekdays (my class schedule is listed below keep reading) and would be available most days to come and play with the animals for 30 minutes to an hour in the afternoons and overnight sitting. And on weekends I would be free to play with and walk the animals as needed. Class schedule: Mon 1pm-2pm Tue 9:30am-1pm then 3pm-5pm Wed 9am-2pm then 4pm-5pm Thur 9:30am-4pm Fri 1pm-2pm I do also have a job at the animal shelter for part time. That work schedule will vary but will be no more the 4-6 hours a day. Likely to be on the weekends to avoid conflict with school :) For my personal home, I will not be able to board any pets. Although I am very safe and responsible. My person pet uses a crate just for her safety when I am gone. I am good with crate training as needed for your pets as well. I make sure I clean up after every day and leave the house as clean as I can before you arrive back home to your happy animals!
“Parker took excellent care of Baloo during drop-in visits. He did a great job of following my list of pretty extensive instructions, and spent extra time keeping my anxious boy company. I received daily photos of a happy dog! I will not hesitate to book with Parker and Alysa again.”


About: Have been walking neighbors dogs for my whole life and dog/cat sit to earn the responsibility of getting my own! My baby is a german shepard/ pitbull mix and he's the sweetest ever. I have experience caring for dogs from the pima animal shelter and giving them the best day they can have. From scared shelter dogs to puppy's in their shark phase, I have loved and cared for them all. I love all breeds big or small and can't wait to meet yours!❤️🥹 I'm an online student at the UofA making my days super flexable. I love to go on long walks and would love to have a buddy. I first prioritize making your pet feel comfortable with a stranger in the home and letting them know i'm not a threat. I mainly let them sniff and approach me then pet them and exhibit calm and trustworthy energy but will also treat them if given permission by the owner. I am guilty of baby talking animals and can promise to show the most love and care to your fur baby.
About: I have over a decade of experience working with animals, first in the veterinary field and then as a professional dog trainer. I use positive reinforcement methods to help bring out the best in dogs, making training fun and providing structured physical and mental outlets for them.

“Azul loves Rachel she walks at her pace and Rachel is very responsible. Azul seems happy when she comes back home and when Rachel comes to pick her up for her walk Azul is very happy.”

“When I first started looking for a dog walker I messaged 4 people on the Rover app, we were out of town and delayed a day from coming home. So this was the last minute need help with her dog situation. Sasha was the only person that was available. 2 were unavailable which we understood and one did not get back to us. Sasha was on time, and came in as a new person to our blue nose pitbull, our cameras showed us how kind and caring Sasha was to our dog. She took a moment to let Ryder get to know her instead of rushing out to just get him walked. She talked to him kindly and made him feel comfortable with a new person in his house and getting ready to walk him. They had a great walk. She responded to us right away and even took a little extra time to make sure that he got the walk he needed which we really appreciated. I would definitely pick her again to help us out in the future and i'm very thankful, she was available. Thanks Sasha! This was our first using the Rover app and it is much better easiest and cheaper than the Wag dog walker app. I was much happier with Rover.”

“Morgan was wonderful! She is an excellent communicator and very authentic in her care for Izzy. She sent great updates and photos. We will certainly use her in the future to care for our fur child.”

About: I have lifelong experience with dogs and a true genuine care for every animal I’ve met. I’ve been around dogs since I was very young and have cared for all kinds of breeds, from small lap dogs to large breeds with high energy levels. Having owned and raised many different dogs-several of them adopted as puppies- I understand that every dog has a unique personality, routine, and set of needs. I believe the best care comes from treating every pet as an individual with their own respective personalities. I take the time to learn each owner’s preferences and follow their pet’s routine as closely as possible so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. In addition to caring for pets, I’ve also helped care for family members with special needs, which has strengthened my patience, attentiveness, and ability to stay calm and dependable in different situations. I bring that same level of compassion and responsibility to every pet I watch. My goal is simple; to give you peace of mind by providing reliable, loving care and making sure your pet feels like they’re with family until you return. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets. My work schedule is Sunday through Tuesday from 4:00 PM to 11:00 PM, leaving the rest of my week and much of each day available for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, or overnight care. Caring for animals fits naturally into my daily routine because I have the time to give each pet the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I enjoy creating a consistent routine that helps pets feel comfortable and secure, whether that means sticking to feeding schedules, going on walks, playing, administering basic care, or simply spending quality time with them. I understand that life gets busy, and my goal is to give pet owners peace of mind by treating every pet like they’re my own. I’m dependable, responsive, and happy to accommodate most schedules, including last-minute requests whenever possible. Whether you’re at work, traveling, or just need an extra hand, I’m here to make sure your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. I am cpr certified osha 10 certified and serv safe certified proving I am both competent and qualified to handle many situations that may come.
“Jenn was great with our yellow lab Zane, she walked him every day for a week and sent great photos. She’s extremely prompt in communication and we definitely hope to utilize her services regularly!”

About: I'm a current dog dad and lifelong animal lover with 16 years of experience caring for dogs and cats.

Luna, my boxer, is my travel companion and my world, so your dog is in the hands that understand what they mean to you.

I'm self-employed, with a fully flexible schedule that accommodates mornings, evenings, weekends, and even last-minute scheduling. Pet care fits naturally into my day, and I'm always happy to accommodate what works best for you. I take time to actually get to know each dog and their needs before diving in. I take the time to understand their energy, body language, quirks, needs, and cues. I'm attentive, calm, and make sure every special requirement is understood and honored. Your companions won't just be cared for, they'll be comfortable and loved.

About: Hi! I've had my cat Olive for 11 years and my dog Bel for 3 years. I have also taken care of close to 70 foster animals mostly kittens, with a few medical fosters, and behavioral issues along the way. I have taken courses on behavioral training for dogs as my own dog is reactive towards dogs, so I am very familiar with dog reactivity. I currently run a small 1 man business from my home and have control over my schedule to provide care to other animals regularly. I also foster other animals from time to time. My own dog is reactive and high energy and needs 3 walks a day usually with a lot of play. My cat is a large maincoon that requires a strict diet and care regimen to keep her pre-diabetes in check.

“Gale was very easy to work with and did a great job looking after Wilma. My dog is a sweet old lady and Gale did a great job handling dogs with different energy levels and needs. She will definitely be at the top of my list the next time I need a sitter.”

“Miss Vicky is amazing. This was our first booking, but will not be our last. She communicated with us every day and responded within minutes if we reached out. I cannot say enough nice things about Vicky. She is an absolute gem! Thank you Vicky!!”


“We needed someone to watch our older dog while we were away for a week. Being new to the area we really didn't know anyone and we wanted our dog to be in a home environment where she wouldn't be alone. My wife found Cynthia on Rover and we went over to meet her. We were immediately impressed by the secure yard and surroundings. Our dog immediately bonded with her little dog Chewey. To make sure, we arranged two "play days" to make sure that all went well. Everything went better than expected and I, being an overly protective pet parent, felt at ease with leaving our dog for a week. I had nothing to worry about. Cynthia took great care of our dog, sent us regular updates including pictures and videos. She let our dog settle-in at her house where ever our dog felt most at ease and took her out for regular walks and time in the yard. When we came back we found that our dog had such a good time that I'm not sure she wanted to leave! Needless to say that Cynthia will be our first choice to watch our dog whenever the need arises! Your dog will be in good hands.”

“I want to express my gratitude for the excellent care you provided to our beloved Ana. Your warmth and professionalism were truly appreciated. The photos you shared during her stay were delightful and reassuring, showing us that she was thriving under your attentive care. Thank you for ensuring Ana received her medicine promptly, demonstrating your commitment to her well-being. We are sincerely grateful for your outstanding service, and we look forward to entrusting Ana to your care again in the future.”

“My typically anxious dog settled in very well and was happy and content with Dave and Becky. Kiki was given the best care and Dave was great to work with and communication was excellent. Would definitely recommend!”
“I don't not do much public feedback or social media. But, I decided to leave one for Cathleen. She is a very nice person and she truly loves dogs. She took great care of my dog Daisy. When I picked Daisy up, she seemed relaxed and happy. There's is nothing better then having a happy dog. I will definitely see if Cathleen is available next time I need a sitter for Daisy.”

“Danielle was amazing with our Harley! She’s very organized and easy to communicate with. I felt she treated Harley like she would her own pup as she included in her activities, took her on walks and car rides and provided enrichment activities for her”

“This was the first time to leave our baby and Brittani put us at ease. Her pet and breakfast was great. Pepper was happy to see us but came home and slept She is a very high energy pup and was worn out She can’t wait to go back”

“We have never used Rover before, but Miriam was wonderful. She took in our 2 dogs as if they were hers. She played with the guys and worked with them to get them to eat (which is no small chore with our guys). She has a wonderful house with a great back yard and our dogs made themselves at home. She sent us pictures and video's of the guys while we were on vacation and shared how they were progressing. It is obvious that she loves dogs and I would not hesitate to book her again if we went out of town. She went above and beyond in her caring for the dogs.”

“Perfect! Very professional and experienced with energetic dogs! And very accommodating and attentive too! It was my first time leaving my freshly adopted puppy to a dogsitter and I was a bit stressed but she reassured me instantly! I'm pretty sure my puppy had a good time”

“Lauren was a god send as this was the first time for our 12 year old pup and for us! She was very welcoming, kind, and even provided updates with pics that put our hearts and minds at ease. Will definitely be rebooking in the future. 😊”

“Christie and Daniel were great. Bo had lots of fun playing with them and their two pups and I got lots of photos/videos of him. Bo is a high energy dog so when I picked him up and he pretty much fell asleep as soon as we got home shows that he was getting lots of energy out. Would happily book them again :)”

“Alondra did a wonderful job taking care of our large Malamute puppy for 9 days! She sent daily pictures and/or videos, which helped us see how Rosie was doing and gave us peace of mind. The home has a large back yard for Rosie to play in and run, so this was a major help. Thank you Alondra for your care for our baby! We would definitely book again.”

“Michelle is AMAZING! She gave Rebel love and care as if her were her own. She sent daily pictures of their walks, and play time. I highly recommend considering Michelle for your pet-sitting needs. She definitely exceeded our expectations.”

“Julie is such a great caretaker and would highly recommend. She has a clean and pet-friendly home, and she goes out of her way to make you feel comfortable with her care by sending daily picture updates and communicating well. We look forward to the next time we book with her!”

“Loren was amazing and put some of my anxiety at ease with our high energy aussie. She sent daily recaps and pictures of our dogs. It looked like they had a wonderful time and were so happy/tired when picked up. She communicates quickly with any questions/concerns. Would love to have our dogs stay with her again!”

“Lara was great! Our puppy had an awesome time at her place exploring around the property. She was very accommodating and provided us with photo updates of our little guy.”

“I was desperate, my booked boarding was closed down and I found out just days before my trip. I was told of Rover and after joining, Lesley was quick to respond. Our meet and greet went great. My 18 month old heeler is a bit of a rambunctious gal and my older dog can be grouchy. Both dogs got along great with her little mini. I had anxiety about leaving these two anywhere and hadn’t previously boarded them. Lesley assured me all would be well. She was very dog smart and took control of my pup with intent and kindness. The photos were welcome and the dogs had a great time. Thank you so much. When I have to board them in the future Lesley will go to.”

“Dana was great! The setup she had was perfect for our cat Lucy and Dana was careful to keep us updated on how she was doing while we were out of town. We also appreciate Dana's flexibility on the timing of our pickup due to flight schedules.”
