“Mrs. Rochelle is simply amazing and has a beautiful family that helps her. She is very patient and kind. Our Taz can be a bit rambunctious but she said he did well. She sent photos while we were away on our trip. My grandpups were well taken care of. We will definitely use Mrs. Rochelle again. Thank you so much for caring for our fur babies.”
“Celia is a true dog lover. She took care of my sweet Chihuahua named Joy with love and care. It felt like I’m sending my baby to vacation spa. Celia communicate with me every day, twice a day and sent me pictures to reassure me of the well-being of my joy. I’m very happy and grateful to find such a great dog sitter. I recommend Celia with all my heart she really gave me a piece of mind while I was away.”
“Nathan and family were great! Very communicative and our dog seemed right at home! Which is huge because she has high anxiety but she loved it with Nathan and crew. Will definitely be rebooking soon.”
“Jennifer was amazing with Buddy, this is the first time I sent my boy to a dog sitter and was completely nervous about it. Jennifer understood this and made an extra effort to update me on how he was doing. Jennifer was also amazing on being flexible with time and working with how both buddy and I were getting on during this time.”
“I just want to say Stephanie is AMAZING! It is really hard finding someone to watch my fur babies because one is a pitbul and the other a bully, but Stephanie and her family took both of them in and took care of them like they were her own. Thank you for all the photos and updates as well! I will definitely use Stephanie again!!! Thank you again so much!!”
“I left my two puppies in Allison’s care for 3 days and they were so happy! Allison send me photos everyday and kept me updated on how they were doing. She really is the best!”
“My pups came for a half-day trial to see how’d they do, and it went great!! Felt really comfortable leaving my fur babies there. Great communication before, during & after their stay. We’ll definitely be back!”
“Emmeline was an amazing sitter. She watched my dog chico who has many quirks and was able to handle them all without any issues. She sent me tons of photos during the sit which I loved. We definitely want to use her in the future.”
“I want to say thank you to them for taking such great care of Gucci! I received constant updates and photos, and my dog looked so happy in every picture they shared. She got proper walks and plenty of attention. And, they seemed happy taking care of Gucci. I will definitely be booking with them again, and their pricing was very reasonable too. Thank you again ♥️♥️”
“Leo had a great time with Flor! He came home exhausted from all the playing he did with her dogs. Appreciate that she sent regular pictures and videos of him having fun. We will certainly use her in the future.”
“I cannot recommend Steven enough! My dog is quite skittish with strangers and has a very specific routine at home, so I was nervous about boarding. Steven was incredibly understanding and listened to all my concerns, but what impressed me most was how he prioritized reading her body language over just following my instructions blindly. He understood that she might behave differently in a new environment and adapted brilliantly. Despite the challenges of a different household dynamic—managing a 'grazer' around his own dog and mirroring our busy family routine—he made her feel right at home. By the first night, she was eating, playing, and even sleeping in her crate! If you want a sitter who truly understands dog psychology and provides personalized care, Steven is the one.”
“We were highly satisfied with the quality of care provided by Lisa of our two senior cats. She competently administered their medications and sent us wonderful daily photos and videos of them so that we wouldn’t miss them too much! Our cats thrived under her care! This was our second time boarding our cats at Lisa’s and we intend to return!”
“I can say enough wonderful things about our experience with Melissa and her husband to take up double the space allowed here for this review. It was so comforting for us to know they were well cared for. We were able to relax and enjoy our time in the city. We received many pictures of the dogs having fun and when we picked them up they were definitely worn out. We will book again!”
“Shayne was so amazing and responsive! I needed a sitter last minute and Shayne responded very quickly and was able to take my fur baby in! She updated me with pics and overall let me know how my dog was doing throughout his stay. I will definitely be coming back!”
“An is such an amazing woman! She was so sweet kept me updated about my puppy and everything they did together with photos! I will be coming back when we do need a pup sitter! She was very accommodating, and very helpful! Thank you so much girly!”
“All I can say is wow! Susan did a fantastic job, with a stream of videos and pictures of Claire. She even did a special photoshoot with Claire in honor of my wedding! This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn’t be more impressed. When I picked up Claire, she seemed relaxed and comfortable with Susan which made me so happy.”
About: Though I am not well versed in special needs dogs, ones with anxiety I know far to well as my Bella suffers daily. Constant love and affection would be given to ensure your fur babies feel right at home as if you’ve never left. Hello I’m Melissa a newly FT stay at home mom of 2. I homeschool during the morning and have fun by mid afternoon so adding some visitors to my day would be my pleasure! Both my Bombay cat and Deer Chihuahua were rescued. I work with many rescues in the surrounding areas to make sure all strays brought home find their forever homes. I do live in a rental so I do request that they are potty trained! Both my cat and dog are fully house broke and getting up in the night for those midnight tinkle breaks are possible since my dog is a senior and needs to go too. I hope that gives you a little insight to my life and allows you to be comfortable in choosing me as your fur babies mini vaca destination. I have a fully fenced decent size back yard with cameras for lots of room to run and get their wiggles out or just explore and sunbathe. I have a large crate if they prefer some quiet time alone just request you bring their favorite bed or blanket so they have a piece of home to comfort them.

About: My name is Jaden and I am 23! I’ve never had a time in my life when I didn’t have a pet, specifically a dog, until now. My heart is still broken from the passing of my dog and I think now would be a great time for me to get on rover as a sitter! I’m great with all animals and will make sure they’re fed, walked, played with, bathed if needed, and have a cozy place to sleep. I have had senior dogs, dogs that require a med schedule and regimen, puppies who have full energy and dogs with other health issues. I promise your animals will be in great hands and a lovely home with a spacious yard (boarding). I can accommodate any special requests, do sleepovers, drop ins or anything else you may need. I am currently in nursing school. I will have clinicals once a semester starting next year, but until then I have more than enough time to pet sit! I am not working outside of Rover and school. I will care for your pets however you request! Every dog I have had has mainly been an indoor dog. We do have a dog door to go outside freely for the bathroom and sunbathing. We also have a pool but it is gated for the safety of my previous pets and your pets! I live in a great neighborhood near a lot of parks for walks as well. I will follow whatever rules you have set for training purposes, diet purposes, and preferences. I always treat animals with love and will give them lots and lots of attention while they’re in my care.

About: I’ve been taking care of all sorts of animals for as long as I could remember, I grew up on a ranch and would always care for our horses, goats, cows, dogs and cats etc. I have been able to train a few of my family members dogs from potty training to teaching them how to sit and give me a high five. I would take care of there fur babies when they would leave to travel and I’d walk them daily and bathe them and give them lots and lots of love.

So if your dog is very playful they will have a lot of company and if your pet doesn’t really get along with other animals then all of our dogs have there own cages.

“Tracy (and Scott!) did an amazing job taking care of our cats, one of whom is diabetic. She has a lot of experience in diabetes care and knew to look out unusual signs like excessive urine in the litter box.

About: I used to work at the Escalon animal shelter for a many summers. Then I got my own dog and taught her deep pressure therapy for my anxiety, basic skills, and hunting skills such as retrieving the duck and finding the duck. I am currently unemployed and looking for a job. I need something to fill in my time until then and after I will change my schedule to be available morning before I go to work and after work. I care for my pets in many ways but I would say mostly by making them special meals with many tasty things for them and give them the love/attention they need. It’s important that your animals get the love and nutrition.
About: I've always had dogs and crate trained my dogs. I know how to train basic commands but nothing really beyond that. I do love playing with dogs and also relaxing with them as well. I do work full time but I do work from home most of the week. So my schedule is pretty flexible for the most part. I have a fenced yard, and 4 friendly dogs. We do have 2 cats but they stay outside as they don't like our dogs. I make sure the the pet I babysit is comfortable and listen to instructions on the owners requests.

“Mrs. Rochelle is simply amazing and has a beautiful family that helps her. She is very patient and kind. Our Taz can be a bit rambunctious but she said he did well. She sent photos while we were away on our trip. My grandpups were well taken care of. We will definitely use Mrs. Rochelle again. Thank you so much for caring for our fur babies.”
“Nathan and family were great! Very communicative and our dog seemed right at home! Which is huge because she has high anxiety but she loved it with Nathan and crew. Will definitely be rebooking soon.”
“Jennifer was amazing with Buddy, this is the first time I sent my boy to a dog sitter and was completely nervous about it. Jennifer understood this and made an extra effort to update me on how he was doing. Jennifer was also amazing on being flexible with time and working with how both buddy and I were getting on during this time.”
“I just want to say Stephanie is AMAZING! It is really hard finding someone to watch my fur babies because one is a pitbul and the other a bully, but Stephanie and her family took both of them in and took care of them like they were her own. Thank you for all the photos and updates as well! I will definitely use Stephanie again!!! Thank you again so much!!”
“My pups came for a half-day trial to see how’d they do, and it went great!! Felt really comfortable leaving my fur babies there. Great communication before, during & after their stay. We’ll definitely be back!”
“Leo had a great time with Flor! He came home exhausted from all the playing he did with her dogs. Appreciate that she sent regular pictures and videos of him having fun. We will certainly use her in the future.”
“I cannot recommend Steven enough! My dog is quite skittish with strangers and has a very specific routine at home, so I was nervous about boarding. Steven was incredibly understanding and listened to all my concerns, but what impressed me most was how he prioritized reading her body language over just following my instructions blindly. He understood that she might behave differently in a new environment and adapted brilliantly. Despite the challenges of a different household dynamic—managing a 'grazer' around his own dog and mirroring our busy family routine—he made her feel right at home. By the first night, she was eating, playing, and even sleeping in her crate! If you want a sitter who truly understands dog psychology and provides personalized care, Steven is the one.”
“I can say enough wonderful things about our experience with Melissa and her husband to take up double the space allowed here for this review. It was so comforting for us to know they were well cared for. We were able to relax and enjoy our time in the city. We received many pictures of the dogs having fun and when we picked them up they were definitely worn out. We will book again!”
“Shayne was so amazing and responsive! I needed a sitter last minute and Shayne responded very quickly and was able to take my fur baby in! She updated me with pics and overall let me know how my dog was doing throughout his stay. I will definitely be coming back!”
“An is such an amazing woman! She was so sweet kept me updated about my puppy and everything they did together with photos! I will be coming back when we do need a pup sitter! She was very accommodating, and very helpful! Thank you so much girly!”
“Dalene was great with Yoda. She was very attentive and flexible with us dropping off and picking up times. She took care of our dog very well. Definitely recommend for future stays.”
About: 15 years of experience with dog sitting/walking. Discount may be give to repeat customers. I speak English, Portuguese, Spanish, and some Russian in case you have limited English and feel comfortable using one of those. I have taken care of old dogs, puppies, dogs small, large, and In between too. I’m extremely responsible with ensuring your pet receives their medication as needed, if needed. I love to walk, but tailor my services to your dogs needs. Want me to have them socialize with my dog, done. Want me to keep the dogs separate, I can do that too. Message me and let me know what you need! Something that separates me from others: I understand some dogs are just vocal and not aggressive. I have experience sitting extremely vocal dogs who most people would think are aggressive, but really they just like to bark. Please disclose if your dog is not good around children when booking! Thank you and I’m looking forward to meeting you and your dog(s). I don’t discriminate based on gender, gender expression, religion, age, sexual orientation, race, or for any other reason. I welcome and respect all people and dogs Stay at home mom with a dog of my own, this allows me to adjust my daily schedule to your pets needs. I go on daily walks when it isn’t too hot. I have a fenced yard and a dog for your dog to socialize, but also have room to keep them separate if preferred. Dogs are fed as much and as often as requested by owner along with the amount of potty breaks. If the pet is house trained they are also allowed to be in the home. I love to give dogs treats so they can expect treats when they are over if approved by you!
“Jasmit and her husband were great welcomed Maxx with open arms. Kept communication and also plenty of pictures. Would def hire them to take care of Maxx again .. Maxx came home a very happy dog.”
“Jillian was absolutely fantastic! She was incredibly communicative and sent daily updates. It was such a sigh of relief knowing our boy was so well taken care of. Rufio had a blast with the whole family and can’t wait to go back!”
“We were looking for a last minute sitter and Leisha was the perfect fit! Not only was she kind and attentive to Ollie’s needs, she also had her kids as part of the care crew! Her kids were so great with Ollie, kind and loving, and I feel grateful to have had Ollie with her family. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter, and will definitely book in the future when we are back in town! Cynthia”

“I left my dog for a week with Tracey. I was so nervous because he has separation anxiety and I’ve never spend a night away from him. Tracey was so good to him and was sending pictures and videos daily. He got just as much of a vacation as we did. He loved playing at Tracey’s farm!”
“Weilin was awesome and phenomenal with Leo. This was our first time leaving Leo for a long time for boarding for almost a month and we were super nervous in leaving our fur baby alone. However, Weilin was amazing with him. Right from start she recommended a meet and greet, and drove close to our place to meet Leo and also brought one of her dog and made us super comfortable. She was always available whenever I had question, even though it was late for her. She sent me daily videos and pictures of Leo, and also picked and dropped him off to our place. Weilin also spotted a potential ear infection in Leo, quickly messaged me and took him to vet. She was also kind enough to treat him by applying medicine in his ears. Weilin's dogs were also super amazing. They played with Leo and made him feel even more comfortable while away. Leo will sleep on her dog QQ's bed and both Weilin and QQ made sure that Leo feels loved and happy at their place. Leo was super sad after she dropped Leo back when we returned, as he missed Weilin and her dogs.When she dropped off Leo, Leo wanted to go back with her. I couldn't have been more happier and will be using Weilin as my long term sitter, as I can relax and enjoy my vacation, with peace of my mind knowing Leo has been cared well for. Thank you Weilin and QQ, wuv wuv for all your love and affection towards Leo, and making him part of your home. We are super greatful to you in taking care of our fur baby, like yours.”
