About: Hello, I am a local who lives full time in Tahoe City. I've been a pet owner with both dogs and cats for the last 30+years. I am a mother of two grown children that are now off away at school. I work at the local elementary school with young children of special needs. I am a fun, caring and loving person who loves both animals and humans. I don't have any pets living with me so your pet would be the only one I would be caring for. I am free to take care of your pet most days, nights and some weekends. I work from home during the summer months so my schedule is always flexible. I currently live in a condo down the street from Lake Tahoe. There are numerous parks at the lake as well as many hiking trails to walk your dog at that are close by my place. I will always walk your dogs on a leash unless otherwise informed by owner to let run free in the woods and trails. I am very safe and responsible.
“Melissa is the best! Great communication and very dog friendly environment. This was my first time ever leaving Gus overnight & she went above and beyond to make sure he felt right at home. He and Cody were instant BFFs & it’s great to know he has someone who makes him feel so safe and comfortable when I am not able to be with him.”
“Kathy has been such a relief to my life! My little Louis absolutely loves her, happy when he walks in her door and perfectly content when leaving. She is flexible and timely with her response. Thank you for always loving Lou like your own!”
About: I'm Rachel, a writer with a flexible schedule and a love of all things canine. I live with my husband, and my chocolate Labrador retriever, Ellie, in our West Shore cabin near Homewood. I signed up for Rover because dog sitting helps me get my fix for having a doggy harem. I would love to shower your dog with attention and affection. I volunteer at the local humane society, so I'm very adept at adapting to your dog's needs. I particularly love active dogs, and I'm happy to take your pup on hikes and swims in the lake. I'm also happy to hang out and have a more relaxing day with older, less active pups. Ellie (13) is very well-socialized, and she gets along well with dogs of all sizes. I work from home with a very flexible schedule, so I’m always happy to go out for a walk or a hike. Ellie, my 13-year-old Lab, is always up for meeting a new dog friend. Daycare Rates & Information: Daycare is up to 8 hours of care. Anything longer than that time, please book a boarding stay. Drop-offs anytime after 8 a.m. Pickups before 8 p.m. Although there is a nice buffer of woods near my house, the yard is not fenced (hopefully soon). I’ll be sure to keep your pup on a leash just in case! There’s an enclosed deck for sunbathing and watching chipmunks.
“Faith is an absolute gem of a dog sitter, and I genuinely can’t recommend her enough. I reached out last minute — the kind of request most sitters would turn down without a second thought — and she said yes without hesitation. What really stood out was how thoughtfully she handled Atlas’s anxiety. She didn’t treat it as an inconvenience; she approached it with patience and genuine care, and it made such a difference knowing my pup was in calm, understanding hands rather than just being “watched.” On top of that, she was incredibly flexible with pick-up and drop-off times, and even made a special exception for me when I needed a time outside her normal hours. She didn’t make me feel like a burden for asking — she just made it work. That kind of grace is rare. And the updates! She check-ins with photos and messages that were so reassuring. You could tell she wasn’t just going through the motions — she actually cared how he was doing. If you have a dog with any special needs or anxiety, Faith is your person. She went above and beyond in every way. Thank you Faith! 🐾”
“Leaving your dogs is never easy, but Christine made it seamless for us and joyful for Willow and Jones. She treated them like her own, created a warm space, and shared the sweetest updates. We came home to relaxed, happy pups, which says everything.”
“Could not have been a better experience! Our puppy dog Tito was treated as family during the course of his stay. Andrea was amazing at letting me know he was doing ok and I think Tito has found a new best friend with Henry! Thank you all so very much !!!”
“I was brand new to the area with no established pet sitter and needed to travel last minute. Local kennels couldn’t accommodate me on such short notice. A Google search turned up the Rover app which in turn brought me to Gina and Erik. They had good reviews and repeat customers, so I contacted them via the app. They could accommodate me, had good prices, and asked me if I wanted to come see their home first. My cat is both a mama’s boy and a bit of a scaredy cat. I’d never boarded him before. I was worried he’d think he’d been abandoned again. (He’d been a stray after being adopted as a kitten. He was nine when I adopted him.) He was anxious at first, but in the pictures and videos that Gina and Erik sent, I could see that he was relaxing with them more each day. On the day I was to drive back home, I woke with a migraine. There was no way I could do the drive. I had to ask for an additional day with no advance notice. Fortunately Gina and Erik were able to keep my cat one day longer. Also, I forgot to mention the poopy mess that Gina helped me clean up when I first dropped him off. They provided me with above and beyond service. I wholeheartedly recommend them.”
“Gissell is amazing! I had to drop my dog McGee off around 5:15am on a Friday and she was already up and excited to meet McGee! She sent pics throughout the day and I found out that he likes doing yoga! Thank you Gissell for your time! I hope to have him visit again soon.”
“Westan is such a blessing! It’s our first time to leave our 9 months old border collie to someone we don’t know but Maui felt immediately home with him! We were able to enjoy the day without worrying knowing that he is in good hands! Thank you so much Westan. I highly recommend Westan as he not only watched our dog but did lots of activity with him and provided pictures . Definitely see you next time!! Maui misses you already!”
“Very communicative and took great care of our pup! It was my first time leaving our dog with someone else and she did an OUTSTANDING job, our dog settled in quick and had a great time. Thank you!”
“Leilah was absolutely wonderful with our dogs! She was incredibly reliable, communicative, and clearly treated our pups like her own. I highly recommend her services and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Lil Bear seemed happy when I picked him up! Which is always a good sign that his visit went well. Arron always got back to me promptly when I checked in and sent pictures. Very much appreciated. Thanks Arron and Devine for taking care of Lil Bear!”
“They took in a big girl even though they didn't usually do large dogs! We appreciated their willingness to give larger dogs a try! They took great care of her! She came back very sleepy, so we know she was getting around! ????”
“Christina did a fantastic job looking after our dog Aphro over Christmas and New Year’s. She treated Aphro like one of her family and kept us up-to-date on how well she was doing. I fully recommend Christina as a top rated Rover sitter and will definitely book her next time!”
“April and Rachel were amazing with our pups. From the moment we met them, we felt super comfortable, their home is clean, organized, and clearly set up for dogs. They introduced our pups to their sweet dog Honey, and everything felt really calm and thoughtful. They took great care of our babies, sent photos, and kept them happy and healthy the whole time. Would 100% recommend and will definitely book with them again 🤍”
“second time booking G. It’s always scary leaving your fur babies somewhere but he handled her so well & sent lots of updates ! Always does ! she got comfortable super quick an took on lots of walks, 10/10 recommended him!”
“Carly was fantastic! She went above and beyond to make the stay as easy as possible. Lots of pictures and updates made the my trip more comfortable. Ample activity and walks meant she was pretty tired after picking Krey up. Definitely would recommend.”

About: I have grown up with all sorts of cats both young and old and have always been their primary caretaker in our home. I am a local living at the lake in Tahoe City. I work at the local elementary school with young children with special needs. I am a caring loving person that has pays great attention to details.
“It I could give 10 starts, I would. Malia is a kind, animal-loving professional who not only takes great care of your furry companion, but also take care of your house like it’s her own. I came home to a content, happy kitty and a home that was impeccably organized and even smelled like fresh laundry (?!). Such a relief to see that my cat had a great time while I was gone. Malia also takes the cutest photos of your pet. I will definitely book Malia again in the future whenever I go out of town.”
About: I have taken care of dogs starting at 14 years old working for a doggy day care before moving on to a vet office for a few more years. Now I just dog/cat sit for friends and family. I am currently working a hybrid schedule giving me the flexibility and time to take care of pets. I only go into the office three days a week and those times are flexible. This is a service I will not be offering at this time, maybe in the future if I am in a different living situation it will be something I can offer.
“Audra took such good care of Otto and I was able to enjoy my trip knowing he was in such great hands! When I got home he was so happy and relaxed. Thank you for spending time with him, playing and visiting so he got the attention he loves! Thank you”
About: Hi, I’m Julia! I’m 44 years old and originally from France, and I’d love to be your pet’s new favorite sitter 🐾 I have many years of experience caring for animals, especially dogs. My own dog lived to almost 17 years old, so I’m very familiar with everything from playful pups to senior care, including medications, special diets, and extra patience when needed. I genuinely love being outdoors and going on walks, and I always make sure each pet gets the exercise, attention, and routine they’re used to—whether that’s regular potty breaks, feeding schedules, or just lots of cuddles and companionship. I live right by the national forest, which is perfect for safe, enriching walks in nature. In addition to dogs, I also have experience with cats, fish, and pet rats, so I’m happy to care for a variety of pets. Since I work mostly from home, I’m able to provide plenty of supervision and attention throughout the day—your pet will never feel alone. I also offer in-home visits, where I can care for your pets in their own environment and help with small tasks like watering plants and keeping things in order while you’re away. I treat every pet like family and always aim to make them feel relaxed and loved while you’re away. Feel free to reach out with any questions—I’d love to meet you and your pet! Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine since I work mostly from home and have a flexible schedule. I’m able to plan my day around the pets in my care, making sure they get regular walks, feeding, potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I enjoy starting and ending my day with walks, especially since I live right by the national forest, so it’s easy to give dogs fresh air and exercise in a calm, natural environment. I’m also home most of the time, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, companionship, and care. For in-home visits, I’m able to adjust my schedule to match each pet’s routine and needs, whether that’s morning, midday, or evening visits. I always aim to keep pets on their usual schedule so they feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I always care for pets as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved whether they are in my home or their own. In my home, pets get a calm, relaxed environment with lots of attention throughout the day since I work mostly from home. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, and any specific care instructions. Living near the national forest also allows me to provide peaceful, enriching walks in nature for dogs who enjoy being outdoors. In my clients’ homes, I make sure to respect both the pet’s routine and the home itself. I stick closely to your instructions so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible. I’m attentive to details like meals, medications, exercise, and companionship, and I also make sure your home is kept tidy. I’m happy to help with small additional tasks like watering plants, bringing in mail, and keeping things in order while you’re away. My goal is always to make pets feel secure and cared for, and to give owners peace of mind knowing everything is in good hands.
About: Hi! My dog Enzo and I enjoy hiking around Tahoe. I would love to take your fur friend on all of the adventures with us! I usually spend my days off wandering in the woods and playing at the lake. My ideal day may include a morning hike, evening walk, lake sunset, porch relaxing, reading/Netflix at bedtime with dog cuddles. I can offer as much or as little activity as needed, feeding times flexible, house rules flexible (furniture/no furniture, crate/free roaming) depending on your home routines. I would also be more than happy to take care of your pups while you’re out of town. Enzo and I can come to your place, or your dog can stay with us at ours. I work as an emergency room nurse so my shifts are variable, but I have four days off each week. When I am not working, I am able to be with the dogs doing dog adventures all day long! I am often off work for a week at a time. My schedule is variable because I work in health care. When I am not at the hospital working, I can dedicate the whole day to hanging with the pups Dogs will stay in the house with frequent potty breaks. We have a morning and evening walk each day at the very least - most days I try to spend the majority of the day outside with hikes and lake days
About: We have experience administering oral medications to cats (including pills/capsules and liquid syringe meds), as well as creams, blood sugar tests, and insulin injections. As cozy quiet cat people, we know the importance of a "ready for a cuddle" greeting as well as a "stay away when needed" look from any cat!
“Greer did an amazing job watching our house and Cat. She took care of everything really well and we will absolutely book with her again. She went super above and beyond and dropped off some medication that I had forgotten when I left, which was a lifesaver. And she also was really flexible and extended her stay too. Cannot thank her enough!”

“Natali was amazing she was responsive, professional as well as empathetic and caring. She planned fun activities (walk, beach) but then was able to adapt when our guy was having anxiety from thunderstorms and needed a more chill day. I would highly recommend Natalie, she gave us peace of mind and our dog had an awesome time:)”
“Jessica was amazing. She was very flexible in accommodating our last minute request, both drop off and pickup, while my wife and I coordinated around a Via Ferrata excursion we booked during our stay in Lake Tahoe. Her home was perfect for dogs who like the freedom to be outdoors and sniff all the scents that the Lake Tahoe forest has to offer.”
“Thank you Rachel for the great communication! Both drop off and pick up went super smooth. Our dog, Leila, looked like she had a great time with you! Thank you for sending those sweet pictures of walks and fun play time with your doggie, Ellie. We will definitely request to have Leila stay with you again. :)”
“Melissa was fantastic! Our puppy loved her immediately which is always a good sign :) Melissa was super communicative, flexible and went above and beyond. She even shampooed our dogs paws after their outing together! I can’t recommend her enough and we’ll definitely be calling her again when we are back for another visit.”
“Kathy and her husband were so great! Very friendly, great communication, and they took wonderful care of our pup for the day and gave me updates along the way of how much fun he was having. Wouldn't hesitate to have them watch our dog again!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, providing reliable walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention to keep them happy, safe, and well-exercised. I’m a stay-at-home Mom. Kids are homeschooled so we are always around. Can take your dog outside and for walks throughout the day. I have a fenced yard and a silly boxer boy dog to keep your dog company. I can crate your dog at night if you prefer.
“Gissell is awesome! She accepted my doggy daycare request on short notice and took great care of my baby boy Henry. Her senior dog Sierra is a sweetheart and still has a lot of pep in her step. Gissell’s home is super nice, clean, and a great space for dogs to sniff around, roam in the yard and sunbathe on the porch. I received pictures and videos of Henry during his visit and he barely wanted to come home with me he had such a great time over there. Thanks so much Gissell!”
“Jenna is one of the best sitters I've had on Rover. She took Mole on a ski day and shared videos of Mole having a blast ⛷️! great communication, flexibility, and super nice throughout the day. 100% will leave Mole woth her next time I need a sitter :)”
“I was so impressed… my Sasha at 5 months had no problem getting acclimated to her surroundings and with the care Scott had provided. Sasha was in no hurry to leave, once I picked her up and I was so happy to hear the good remarks Scott had shared. I will definitely look forward to the next time I need a dog handler. Thank you Scott!”
“Malea was an absolute treasure and helped our vacation to Tahoe run smoothly through her sweet and accommodating nature. Setting all of that aside, she was so nice to my dog, Roscoe, who seems to have had a blast in her care. Malea sent lots of updates throughout the day, which, if I needed reassuring at all (I didn’t because I instantly trusted her), certainly did the trick. And she was very accommodating when holiday ski traffic was beyond ridiculous getting back to her place for pickup and even nicer when our ski plans changed necessitating a cancellation of our last day of daycare services. I cannot recommend Malea enough, and we will definitely be contacting her again on our next trip to Tahoe.”
“Katie was amazing! She took Max in on a day I didn't have booked to help me out as I had my days wrong. Sent pictures every day , and I could tell Max was receiving the same love and care he does at home. She kept him active and he came home happy and tired from a fun filled day every evening. Totally recommend her! Such a nice, loving couple!”
“Our 2 yo aussie-doodle Coro loved his four days with Nayla, going on hikes in the snow and playing with the other doggies. The moment they met, Coro walked off with Nayla and forgot about us!!! The instant connection was amazing.”
“Jared was the best - I highly recommend him for dog-sitting. He was reliable and very responsive. His dogs are great too, my dog was tuckered out after a day with Jared's crew!”
“Faith was awesome! She took a last minute request for me and did awesome with my pup! My boy came back happy and tired. Definitely will be using her services again. Thanks Faith!”
“Groot had a lovely time with Missy and Kyle! We received photos throughout the day, and our pup was super tired when we brought him home. He had a fun play day and we were confident that he was well cared for while we were gone. Thank you so much!”
“Luke was amazing!!! Not only was he communicative, he was knowledgeable about dogs. He explained the reason why our pup does some of things he does. Our dog is very anxious and gets stressed easy but with Luke he fit right in and was cool and calm. 100% will be bring our dog back to Luke not only for sitting but for some training as well! Thank you again!”

“Adam is very reliable and communicative. He was very patient with my dog even when the dog was shy and unsure of him during my time away and ultimately made him feel comfortable and safe. Would work with him again!”
“Haley was wonderful ! I appreciated her communication from the start! I loved the photos and texts I received daily while Papaya was in her care. She really took the time to listen to my concerns about my older dog, Papaya and she was even willing to take an initial walk with me so I could show her the walk routine of my older dog! Thanks Haley!”
About: Compassionate and dependable animal caregiver with 5 years of hands on experience caring for four Goldendoodles and one Black Labrador. Skilled in providing daily care, including feeding, exercise, maintaining routines, and ensuring a safe, healthy environment. Experienced in managing multiple dogs at once, recognizing behavioral cues, and meeting each animal’s unique needs with patience and attention. Dedicated to promoting the well-being, comfort, and happiness of every pet while building trust with both animals and their owners. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I already enjoy staying active and spending time outdoors. I regularly go on runs, walks, hikes, paddle boarding trips, and swimming, and I would love to have a dog accompany me during those activities. Caring for pets would add structure and purpose to my day while also keeping me active and engaged. I also work full time as a medical assistant at Tahoe Forest Health System Monday through Thursday from 5:45 AM to 4:20 PM, so I really value making the most of my time outside of work. Having pet care responsibilities would be a great way for me to stay busy and active after my shifts or on my days off. Since I don’t have much family or many friends in the area, I genuinely enjoy the companionship of animals and would love to build a bond with your pets. Spending time with them would not only keep them happy and exercised, but also keep me motivated, fulfilled, and connected throughout the week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent, comfortable, and stress-free as possible. I make sure they are fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise through walks and playtime, and receive lots of attention, companionship, and supervision while in my care. I also pay close attention to their behavior and needs to ensure they feel safe and well cared for in their own environment. When I lived in Cameron Park, I cared for five dogs of my own and kept them all very active through daily walks, outdoor time, and structured routines. Since moving, I no longer have pets of my own due to limited space and financial stability, but my experience with multiple dogs has given me strong hands-on knowledge of managing different personalities and energy levels at once. This experience has helped me stay confident and attentive when caring for other people’s pets, and I treat every animal like they are my own while they are in my care.
“Malia is great with dogs, and is a pleasure to deal with. She immediately knew what to do to interact with our high-energy pup, and we wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again.”
“Julia was absolutely wonderful with our 9 yr old Shar Pei. I contacted her 3 days before I needed someone and she responded immediately. She was professional, trustworthy and I could tell she loved our dog. She even put 2 heavy furniture boxes in our garage for us. We would be happy to have her watch our dog again anytime!”
“Gissell was a true pleasure to work with. She sent daily updates with pictures and videos of their walks and play time. She was so amazing to our fur babies and you could tell they had a great time while we were away. We will definitely ask her to care for our pups again! Thanks!”
About: I have taken dog training classes at the local animal shelter. I offer puppies plenty of time for teething tug-of-war and have tons of patience with the geriatric slow walkers. I work part time, close to home, which offers plenty of time for dog walking, drop ins and over night care. My hours are flexible. I would keep your dog safe on a leash and have a large crate if that would help them feel secure in a different environment.
About: I have my own 4 year old black lab who loves attention, long walks, and spending time with other dogs. I’ve hosted many dogs through Rover over the past several years and treat every dog as my own. I prefer to walk or dog sit one additional dog at a time so that they can have individualized attention. I will constantly send photos of your pup while they’re with me and will spend time at any of the nearby parks in the city. I work from home full time so I can host your pup when needed. My dog loves to be with other dogs so it’s great to host during the week for extra socializing. I’m typically available on weekends as long as I’m not heading out of town. My dog loves playing with other dogs and loves trips to the park, but he is also in his old man era and will get lazy after a long walk which brings a good balance of chill time and being active.
About: Hi! My name is Erika and I live in Truckee with my partner Sully and our middle aged husky-mix, Willy. Although, we commonly call her by her nickname, Bill. We’ve been providing house and dog sitting for the past few years now as I have a flexible remote job. Typically I bring Willy with me when watching other dogs as she loves to play! My partner, Sully, will help with dog sits at times. We do travel, as we have a travel trailer, so we will dog sit outside the Tahoe area as well when on the road. I work remotely for a small startup based out of Truckee and have a flexible work schedule during the weekday. I walk my pup at least twice a day already but it is always nice to be in the company of other dogs. I keep my dog on-leash on walks to ensure she stays safe. I always make sure to not leave any food out she may get to, as she quite sneaky!
About: We are 2 sisters who have always had big dogs around (although no dogs at home currently), and we love taking walks around one of the many beautiful parks in the area. We have one cat of our own, and have experience administering medications, including pills, creams, insulin injections, and blood sugar tests. We have a large car with room for dogs in the back. Please let us know upon booking if you'd like us to walk you dog(s) around your neighborhood, our neighborhood (if nearby) or if you'd like us to take them to a dog park. We are trust-worthy people who follow directions well, so whatever you say is safe for your pets, will be our guideline. We always keep an eye out for any danger! We work from home, so we always have time for walks and pets. We have flexible schedules in general and are glad to work with you to find them best time. We always want to best for any animal and to make sure they are comfortable and happy. Feel free to give us any special instructions or guidelines that will make you dog's walk the best it can be!
About: Hi, My name is Peach and I have an 8 year old border collie. We love spending time on the open trails, the park, or playing at home. We are open to all types of animals, Brewer used to live on a ranch so he is accustomed to many different types. We are always looking for a play buddy. Currently, we live in Tahoe City. I am in nursing school and work at the hospital. Making sure Brewer, or whichever animal I am caring for, has enough care and attention is extremely important to me. I make sure there are several different activities throughout the day for animals to stay happy and engaged. I am able to keep my dog at home, while I am also happy to come watch your pet in your home or take her out for walks/playtime.
About: Dogs have been in my life since as long as I can remember. Taking care of animals is something I enjoy and therefore, do diligently. I understand the relationship between pets and their owners and I take care of anything you are worried about during your absence. I currently work from home, so I am available whenever is needed. Your pets are my priority, so I am sure to make my schedule around their comfort. I have a fenced in yard and an endless amount of healthily, safe dogs treat and activities for them. Pets will be constantly in view to prevent any “one off” situations.

I volunteer at the local humane society, so I'm very adept at adapting to your dog's needs. I particularly love active dogs, and I'm happy to take your pup on hikes and swims in the lake. I'm also happy to hang out and have a more relaxing day with older, less active pups. Ellie (13) is very well-socialized, and she gets along well with dogs of all sizes. I work from home with a very flexible schedule, so I’m always happy to go out for a walk or a hike. Ellie, my 13-year-old Lab, is always up for meeting a new dog friend. Daycare Rates & Information: Daycare is up to 8 hours of care. Anything longer than that time, please book a boarding stay. Drop-offs anytime after 8 a.m. Pickups before 8 p.m. Although there is a nice buffer of woods near my house, the yard is not fenced (hopefully soon). I’ll be sure to keep your pup on a leash just in case! There’s an enclosed deck for sunbathing and watching chipmunks.
“Faith is an absolute gem of a dog sitter, and I genuinely can’t recommend her enough. I reached out last minute — the kind of request most sitters would turn down without a second thought — and she said yes without hesitation. What really stood out was how thoughtfully she handled Atlas’s anxiety. She didn’t treat it as an inconvenience; she approached it with patience and genuine care, and it made such a difference knowing my pup was in calm, understanding hands rather than just being “watched.” On top of that, she was incredibly flexible with pick-up and drop-off times, and even made a special exception for me when I needed a time outside her normal hours. She didn’t make me feel like a burden for asking — she just made it work. That kind of grace is rare. And the updates! She check-ins with photos and messages that were so reassuring. You could tell she wasn’t just going through the motions — she actually cared how he was doing. If you have a dog with any special needs or anxiety, Faith is your person. She went above and beyond in every way. Thank you Faith! 🐾”
“Leaving your dogs is never easy, but Christine made it seamless for us and joyful for Willow and Jones. She treated them like her own, created a warm space, and shared the sweetest updates. We came home to relaxed, happy pups, which says everything.”
“Could not have been a better experience! Our puppy dog Tito was treated as family during the course of his stay. Andrea was amazing at letting me know he was doing ok and I think Tito has found a new best friend with Henry! Thank you all so very much !!!”
“I was brand new to the area with no established pet sitter and needed to travel last minute. Local kennels couldn’t accommodate me on such short notice. A Google search turned up the Rover app which in turn brought me to Gina and Erik. They had good reviews and repeat customers, so I contacted them via the app. They could accommodate me, had good prices, and asked me if I wanted to come see their home first. My cat is both a mama’s boy and a bit of a scaredy cat. I’d never boarded him before. I was worried he’d think he’d been abandoned again. (He’d been a stray after being adopted as a kitten. He was nine when I adopted him.) He was anxious at first, but in the pictures and videos that Gina and Erik sent, I could see that he was relaxing with them more each day. On the day I was to drive back home, I woke with a migraine. There was no way I could do the drive. I had to ask for an additional day with no advance notice. Fortunately Gina and Erik were able to keep my cat one day longer. Also, I forgot to mention the poopy mess that Gina helped me clean up when I first dropped him off. They provided me with above and beyond service. I wholeheartedly recommend them.”
“Westan is such a blessing! It’s our first time to leave our 9 months old border collie to someone we don’t know but Maui felt immediately home with him! We were able to enjoy the day without worrying knowing that he is in good hands! Thank you so much Westan. I highly recommend Westan as he not only watched our dog but did lots of activity with him and provided pictures . Definitely see you next time!! Maui misses you already!”
“Very communicative and took great care of our pup! It was my first time leaving our dog with someone else and she did an OUTSTANDING job, our dog settled in quick and had a great time. Thank you!”
“Leilah was absolutely wonderful with our dogs! She was incredibly reliable, communicative, and clearly treated our pups like her own. I highly recommend her services and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Lil Bear seemed happy when I picked him up! Which is always a good sign that his visit went well. Arron always got back to me promptly when I checked in and sent pictures. Very much appreciated. Thanks Arron and Devine for taking care of Lil Bear!”
“Christina did a fantastic job looking after our dog Aphro over Christmas and New Year’s. She treated Aphro like one of her family and kept us up-to-date on how well she was doing. I fully recommend Christina as a top rated Rover sitter and will definitely book her next time!”
“April and Rachel were amazing with our pups. From the moment we met them, we felt super comfortable, their home is clean, organized, and clearly set up for dogs. They introduced our pups to their sweet dog Honey, and everything felt really calm and thoughtful. They took great care of our babies, sent photos, and kept them happy and healthy the whole time. Would 100% recommend and will definitely book with them again 🤍”
“second time booking G. It’s always scary leaving your fur babies somewhere but he handled her so well & sent lots of updates ! Always does ! she got comfortable super quick an took on lots of walks, 10/10 recommended him!”
“Carly was fantastic! She went above and beyond to make the stay as easy as possible. Lots of pictures and updates made the my trip more comfortable. Ample activity and walks meant she was pretty tired after picking Krey up. Definitely would recommend.”
“Nicole was amazing! She was able to take my puppy in last minute and I was very grateful for that. She made my puppy feel so loved! She was taking such good care of him and sent me pictures and updates about how their day was going. I definitely felt a sigh of relief knowing my puppy was happy and safe with her!”
“Teresa was wonderful to work with and clearly took great care of my dog over the five days I had her boarded. She sent adorable photos of her curled up and cozy on the couch — it’s clear she was a happy pup (and spoiled)! I’d definitely book with Teresa again.”
“Lyndsey was absolutely amazing with Tilly during our trip to Disneyland! She got a ton of walks and was clearly very happy and comfortable, and Lyndsey also shared many great updates throughout the day. Thank you so much Lyndsey - we would love to have Tilly visit you again!”
“Nayla was amazing with Taquito! She asked a bunch of questions to make sure she knew how to best handle Taquito (on/off leash, if she liked the water, how to best feed, etc) and Taquito was immediately comfortable around her and her pup which is always a relief. She was communicative, sent us a bunch of pictures and flexible with scheduling pick up and drop off. Taquito had the best time and I highly recommend Nayla!”
