“My dog, Belle is looking forward to seeing Lisa and staying in her home again. No separation anxiety like the first dog-sitting experiences. Lisa is very caring and responsible lady. I am happy that Belle finds her second home.”
“Albina took great care of Moka! She returned home happy and energetic. It’s clear she was well taken care of. Communication was frequent and I was receiving constant updates the entire stay.”
“Angelica was very nice and she sent us photos of our dog Ellie during the stay. Ellie seemed to have a great time with her! Angelica was very accommodating and was able to accept a last minute additional night due to logistical issues on our part. I would definitely take Ellie to stay with her again!”
“Best dog sitting experience I have ever had. Not only did she provide attentive and loving care for my dog, but she also took him on outings to the beach, which he absolutely loved. Her attention to detail and genuine affection for my pet were evident in every interaction. She kept me updated with photos and messages, ensuring I felt comfortable and reassured. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I highly recommend Irina to anyone in need of a caring and responsible dog sitter.”
“This was the first overnight stay for my dog Millie. Janice is awesome! She took great care of Millie. I got several updates, which took all my worries away. And by the looks of it Mille had a wonderful time. Will board Millie with her again.”
“I had a great first time Rover experience because of Magdalena. Primarily, I was looking for a close location and price, and the bonus was that she also has a senior dog in her pack. She is a true professional and a genuine compassionate dog lover. If you’re looking for active, expert level, tailor made care, excellent communication, and reliability, please don’t hesitate to book with Magdalena. 🫶🏽”
About: I've been caring for pets for over 20 years, and it's something I truly love. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets with the same attention and compassion I'd give my own. I offer flexible scheduling, daily photo updates, medication administration, and have extensive experience caring for senior pets and those who are anxious or have special needs. My goal is to help every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I adore animals of all kinds and would be honored to care for your furry family member! I work from home with a flexible schedule, which makes it easy to care for your pets when you need me. I am always on time and communicate often. I will follow your instructions on how to care for your baby in your home. I can even send photos and keep you updated throughout the day. (I should mention that I am also a professional pet photographer!)
“Dan was fantastic with Nancy. I was nervous about her staying with other dogs but he is seasoned and has the feeding already worked out. She had a blast and came home happy. Will definitely book with Dan again!”
“Greg is great! He asked lots of questions to make sure she’d be comfortable and happy. Very kind and thorough, and gave me updates throughout the day with pictures and videos of how truffles was doing. She’s always a little sad after leaving someone she likes, and she’s already sitting here missing him. Thank you again Greg!! Glad you both had fun together! :)”
“Wednesday had a great time at Adrienne's. I could tell from the picture she was getting a lot of love and pets. I'm so glad we have another sitter we can count on and that Wednesday has new friends.”
“Yulia was great! She sent updates with photos and videos throughout my trip! She made me feel at ease. She was so kind and caring! My first time ever using Rover and leaving my dog with a stranger and I will 100% use her again.”
“Ana and Mitchell and their dog Ellie were wonderful sitters for our 5 month old Labradoodle puppy. I am very glad to have found them. Their fenced in backyard and house are set up for entertaining new dogs with comfort and safety. They were able to get our puppy to eat his meals even though he's teething and sometimes unmotivated. He loved playing with Ellie and he was so relaxed after I picked him up because he had a great night with Ana & Mitchell.”
“Nini was really sweet and caring with our doggo Bear. He likes lots of attention and play time and she was really good playing fetch with him and taking him on plenty of walks. We would definitely have Nini watch Bear for us again.”
“Soejong was so sweet with Jamie. He is very nervous and thus was his first boarding experience. We had to have repairs done in the apartment and so I had to board him. She sent me lots of photos and he was being very brave exploring at night which I thought was a good sign that he liked her (otherwise he would have stayed hidden). If I have to board him again, I would definitely use Sojeong.”
“Sevan took care of Tucker, our 5-year old mixed breed dog, over the Christmas holiday. He kept in close communication, sent lots of pictures, and worked with Tucker on some training issues. He is a true professional and an excellent dog handler. We had a great meet & greet a few weeks before Tucker's boarding that alleviated all of my concerns. Can't recommend him highly enough!”
“What more can I say? Athene took amazing care of our Aussie Chip. We had to go on a family trip for 7 days and we were more than nervous since Chip was not neutered yet and he is still a young pup with tons of energy. She let us have a trial day care and he loved it! She responded super fast and made sure your pup is A-Ok. Her yard is super clean and dog friendly as well. Overall, shes so professional and took extremely good care of our dog. We even had a cancelled flight and she was able to help us out with extending the dates. Definitely will go to her again!”
“Lisa was an amazing dog sitter! I felt so comfortable leaving my dog in her care and enjoyed the frequent updates and pics she sent. Would definitely rebook!”
“Bertha took such wonderful care of my nervous little pup. I felt very comfortable leaving my baby with her. She is very kind and kept my baby as comfortable as possible while I was away. Thank you!”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about the incredible care my senior dog received from Rika! At 16 years old, blind, deaf, and struggling with mobility and severe nighttime anxiety, my dog needed a lot of special attention. Rika was a total angel, truly heaven-sent, and made my dog feel comfortable and safe throughout my chaotic move. Her compassion and dedication were extraordinary. She adapted to my dog’s routine seamlessly, providing constant updates with photos and videos that put my mind at ease. Knowing my dog was in such caring and capable hands was a huge relief. I highly recommend Rika to anyone who wants their pet to be treated like family with the utmost love and care!”

“Jane is super top notch!!! I can’t recommend her enough. It can be a little nerve-wracking to be out of the country for over a week, however my mind was at ease regarding my pets and my home. Jane was very consistent with her high-quality care and communication, with regular updates that didn’t leave anything up to assumption. I always knew what was getting done, with any questions or concerns being quickly addressed. Jane spent extra time playing with our 4-month old kitten who was alone at home for the first time. The amount of thought and care she put in was extremely evident and appreciated. Her demeanor was always calm, easy-going, friendly, and to-the-point. She went above and beyond. Don’t think twice about hiring Jane to keep your loved ones happy and safe!”
About: While most of my experience is with dogs, I’ve also cared for cats for friends and neighbors over the years. I’m happy to help with feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and making sure your cat feels comfortable while you’re away
“Brandi was so nice, extremely professional, and very communicative. She gave our kitty the attention he needed during our long weekend away. It was great to get pictures of him on Christmas morning and know he was doing ok on his own. Brandi put us at ease!!”
“Amari was great with my cat while I was out of town. She was communicative and sent me photos to let me know he was doing okay. She was also really flexible and understanding when I hadn't updated my address in the app. Thanks, Amari!”
“I feel so relieved when I know Pixie is watching our cats because she takes such amazing care of them. She goes above and beyond to communicate how the time is going and always takes pics/videos. Highly recommend booking with her!”
“Camille has taken excellent care of my elderly cat and my young kittens. She is professional and reliable and communicates well. I’m very grateful for her help caring for my pets when I’m away !”

About: I’ve had many dogs and cats throughout my life. I light up around animals but I’m a big believer in respecting a pet’s personal boundaries. This means I won’t pet an animal if it does not want to be pet and I won’t intentionally overexcite them. I’m going to school part-time at Pasadena City College where I’m pursuing an associates degree in Behavioral Sciences. I’m excited to care for animals during the rest of my time! I am dedicated to maintaining a safe environment for animals. I am punctual with regular tasks such as medication and mealtimes. I am attentive to potential hazards that may occur on walks and in parks.
“Wow. I cannot say enough about how wonderful the experience was having Alex look after my 2 kittens. It’s always stressful to be away from pets, but all of the positive reviews I read about Alex turned out to be true. He gave detailed reports of his interactions with my little guys and sent lots of photos. This gave me so much reassurance that all was well. I recommend Alex 100% if you want the very best care for your fur babies.”
“Aksana did a great job looking after my kitties! she was very communicative and followed the directions I gave to a tee! I definitely will be rebooking in the future any time I need a sitter.”
“Ali was super communicative and I loved getting pictures and updates of my pets every day!! ?✨ Will definitely reach out in the future for more pet sitting services!”

About: I cared for my cat, Scotty, for five years and worked on basic training and enrichment, including leash training and supervised outdoor time once a week. This experience helped me understand behavior, boundaries, and the importance of patience and trust. I’m pay attention to feeding routines, litter box maintenance, and creating a calm, comfortable environment for cats. I respect each cat’s personality whether they’re playful, shy, or independent and focus on making them feel safe and at ease while their owners are away.
About: My dream job would be to be around cats all day if I could. I have experience caring for cats overnight, feeding, cleaning, and keeping general company. I have a great understanding of how cats tick and how to know what their body language/ behavior can be telling us. Although I am extremely comfortable around cats, my approach is friendly but always cautious and respectful. I am the go-to cat sitter for my friends going on trips and have been around cats my whole life.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Emerald Isle
Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
“I tried this doggy daycare for the first time yesterday, and Sevan was fantastic. He’s extremely knowledgeable, attentive, and clearly understands high-energy dogs. I felt completely comfortable leaving my pup in his care, and she came home happy and very tired. Highly recommend!”
“Thank you so much Albina!! It was very last minute and bullet had a good time. You were very communicative and the drop off and pick up was very quick. If I was in your area, she would be regular there.”
“Isabel took a great care of my dog while we were at the Rose Bowl game. She’s great with communication and was very quick in responding for drop off and pick up. Will definitely use her again next time we visit SoCal.”
About: I've shared my home with two to four dogs since coming to LA 15 years ago. Because I work from home, your pup gets a calm, dog-savvy human nearby all day — frequent yard breaks, play, and belly rubs instead of hours alone. I'm comfortable with puppies, seniors, medications, and high-energy dogs, and I keep my numbers small so every dog gets real one-on-one attention. I work from home on a flexible schedule, so your dog has company and supervision for most of the day — regular walks, play, and potty breaks, not long stretches alone. I offer boarding and daycare and take just one family's dog or two at a time, and I'm glad to keep your dog's normal routine for meals, naps, and bedtime. Your dog will have free range of my 3 bedroom home, detached studio, and very large, securely fenced yard. I don't have pets of my own right now, so your pup gets the whole space and my full attention — no other animals to compete with. I'm happy to crate or set up a quiet separate area if that's what your dog is used to, and I keep things calm and low-stress.
“Jonalyn was fantastic with my dog! She sent so many photos and kept Mocha busy and got her tired, which is hard to do. Mocha is usually nervously reluctant to separate from me, but every time we went to Jonalyn's, she got so excited. Definitely booking again!”
About: What’s the most important thing all dog owners want to know before entrusting their dogs to a stranger? Well first of all I’m from Jersey. I’ll play with your dog, make sure they’re happy, take them on a walk, not lose them, and feed them only what you tell me to feed them. No human food, I promise. Unless of course that’s in your list of food to give them. Of course hydrate them as well. I know the do’s and don’ts of a dog’s diet since I have 2 of my own. I’ve also been fostering dogs on and off for the past 3 years. I am known to be reliable and responsible, so I can assure you that you can rest easy with leaving your dog(s) in my care. Or if you have a cat, I also get along super well with them since I also have 2 of my own! I work from home so I do have some flexibility or if you need eyes on your little one for long hours I will also be able to do that. I do have 2 cats so I have pet gates up to separate my cats from any dogs. The dogs get free roaming of the living room which tends to be enough for my two dogs plus any friends they’ve had over. Routine in my home is key. At your home, I’ll stick to your routine and respect your house rules. Whatever you require, it will be respected.
“Frances took in George at the last minute when I had work pop up so early in the morning and she was very kind. She kept me updated on George and took her on multiple walks. He came back super happy and ready for a nap! Thank you so much, Frances. You'll see George again soon I'm sure!!”

“Erika was awesome and took great care of my pups. From the start you knew she was a dog person and loved on my two the whole time she was under her care. Mine aren’t easy either and she handled business and was professional all around. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter highly recommended!”

“Sojeong and her parents took excellent care of our 2 reactive pups! My family and I dropped off our furbabies for daycare before heading to Universal Studios. Zoe is usually afraid of boys/men but she surprisingly had no problem walking with Sojeong's father! We were able to enjoy our time at Universal Studios without our furbabies because they appeared to be in good hands. Sojeong was incredibly patient and responsive. She provided multiple status, photo and video updates throughout their stay. My family and I highly recommend Sojeong, and we will book with Sojeong again the next time we're in town! 😊”
“Natalie was wonderful! She accommodated our last-minute request with such kindness and flexibility, which we really appreciated. She was very friendly and took great care of our dog!”
“Moon is an absolute blessing. I’ve had a few sitters in the past, but no one has ever made me (or my dog Bernie) feel as comfortable, supported, and cared for as she does. Her communication is exceptional — she sends thoughtful updates, photos, and check-ins throughout the day, so I always feel in the loop without ever having to ask. Bernie is high-energy and a little high-strung, and not once has Moon ever made him feel like he was “too much.” She welcomes his personality, plays with him, takes him on walks, and makes sure he gets plenty of outdoor time in her beautiful, spacious backyard. She introduced him to her dog, Ru, with so much intentionality, patience, and care — which set them up for a smooth, safe, and positive connection from day one. Her home feels warm, artistic, and full of good energy — which is very aligned with me as a creative. Bernie picked up on that immediately. He gets SO excited when he sees her, and honestly, that tells me everything I need to know. Bernie gravitates to Moon like she’s an extension of me — safe, loving, and deeply familiar to him. On top of all that, she treats Bernie like family. She pays attention to his food schedule, his quirks, his needs, and she checks in with me immediately if anything seems off. Her communication is flawless. She’s flexible with booking, great with pricing, and even offers pickup/drop-off when I need it. I cannot recommend Moon enough. She is warm, intuitive, attentive, and genuinely cares about the dogs in her home. Bernie and I are so grateful to have found her. If you’re looking for someone who brings both heart and professionalism to what they do, she’s the one.”
“Magdalena is very good with dogs and has a cozy, comfortable yard and home for them to enjoy themselves in. I really appreciate her communication as well. Thank you!”
“Michael to the rescue!! Even with short notice, he was able to come through in sitting my girl for the day. Kind, respectful & communicated well through the whole exchange. Would book again!”
“Our pup was instantly a fan of Jennifer. He had a fun day and Jennifer sent pics and communicated well through the his stay. She took extra effort for his meals which I really appreciate!”

“I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with Emin. He was very responsive and even hiked with Lila in the rain! Has a very calm energy and handled my dog’s intensity very well”
About: I recently graduated college and work remote, so I spend a lot of time at home now. I’ve had my two Cavaliers since I was 10. Jagger, my 12 year old Cavalier passed away a few months ago and it was the worst thing I’ve ever experienced. Caring for him was the highlight of my entire life whether it was good or bad. Because of this I’m great with senior dogs, but also dogs of any age. My love for dogs extends beyond my own. I would love to open my home up to more dogs that can keep me and Riley, my 13 year old Cavalier company! Riley is the sweetest boy and gets along with any dog! He’s never bit or has ever been aggressive. However, I can separate him from your dog upon request! :) I work part-time. A couple days a week for a few hours if that. I’m usually working from home on my laptop so I am able to attend to your dog at all times. I have a large fenced yard and a senior Cavalier who is great with every pet. I can walk your dog once or twice a day and they will never be left unattended.
“She was one of the best people we have ever had care for our dog. We asked for her help last minute with some dog walks, and she was punctual, thoughtful, very gentle with our sensitive dog, and very reliable. I would highly recommend her!”
“It was a really good experience working with Lanice. I am excited to work with her again. My puppies are very strong and can be difficult to control if you are not patient. Lanice was willing to take the time for Hazel bell and Zeus to get to know her and take instructions. I will definitely be booking her again.”
About: I’ve had animals in my life for as long as I can remember, from growing up with a cat to horseback riding, owning a horse, helping care for other people’s horses, walking friends’ dogs and having dogs of my own, including a German shepherd and two dachshunds. I currently don’t have pets, which is a big reason I’m signing up for Rover. I miss having animals around and would love to help care for yours. I’m an avid walker and hiker, so getting in my steps with a furry companion sounds wonderful. I’m comfortable with both larger and small dogs, and I also love cats, whether that means cuddling, giving them space or simply making sure they are well cared for. While I’m new to pet sitting through Rover, I’m a responsible, competent and trusted animal lover. Having had my own dogs, I know how much it means to find someone reliable and kind to care for your furry family members while you’re at work or on vacation. I’m a semi-retired freelancer with a flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the day. I prefer early morning through mid-afternoon visits, but will try to be accommodating according to your schedule. I don’t have a fenced yard and am not able to host pets in my home, but I’m very happy to come to you for drop-in visits, cat care and neighborhood walks. I love getting outside with dogs and am equally happy to to spend indoor time with cats.

About: I’ve been dog sitting and walking dogs since I was in high school for neighbors, friends, and even a few of my teachers. I grew up around animals and have always loved spending time with them. At my childhood home we would often watch friends’ dogs while they were away, so caring for pets has been part of my life for a long time. Most of my experience is with dogs, but I’ve also cared for cats and other small pets. I even had a pet bird for a couple of years, so I’ve always enjoyed being around animals of all kinds. I work as a film editor, and Rover is something I do on the side because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and getting outside for walks. It’s a nice way to break up the day and spend time with some great pets. I’m comfortable with drop-ins, walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. I tend to work more with dogs, but I’m happy to help with cats as well depending on the situation. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always try to make visits calm, fun, and stress-free for them. I’m always happy to do a quick meet-and-greet beforehand so your pet can get to know me and we can make sure it’s a good match. I have a flexible schedule and can usually fit pet visits easily into my day. I work as a film editor, so I’m often working from home and can step out for drop-ins, walks, feeding, or playtime. Pet visits are something I enjoy doing to get outside and spend time with animals, so I try to make each visit relaxed and attentive for your pet. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always try to keep things calm and consistent with their usual routine. I’m attentive to instructions for feeding, walks, medications, or anything else your pet needs. I make sure pets feel comfortable while their owners are away and treat every home with respect and care.
“Brandi is the best! She takes such good care of our girls. Always going slow, taking breaks when it’s hot, and watching out for our older one. She is super flexible and always kind about our chaotic schedule. Definitely recommend! Thanks Brandi!”
About: Hi, my name is Sophie! I’ve been caring for dogs since I was eight years old, working with small and large breeds of all ages — from playful puppies to calm seniors. I’ve successfully handled untrained dogs and sick dogs as well. I am capable of following dietary guidelines and physical requirements your pet might require. I’m great at reading their moods and energy, so they always feel safe and comfortable. Animals truly are my safe place and I promise to provide the up most care and attention to your furry friend. I’m currently in LA with a completely open summer schedule, so I can give your pet my full attention whenever you need me. I’m completely available Monday through Saturday with flexible times. I’m not working this summer, so I can easily help with walks and drop-in visits around your schedule. I care for pets in your home so they stay in their familiar environment. For walks and check-ins I’ll come to you, keep your place exactly how I found it, and send updates and photos every visit so you always know your dog is safe and happy.
“Pia was awesome! My dog loved her and so did I. She was extremely kind and understanding. She came through for my family in pinch & we are very appreciative! She responded quickly to my request and kept me updated the entire time of her service. I’m always nervous about leaving my Zoey with just anyone but Pia has such a trusting spirt and i’m glad I went with my gut & chose her!”
About: I’ve been fortunate to grow up with animals most of my life and lucky enough to continue having little fur companions in the home through roommates. I’m proud to say I’m my friend’s go to for pet sitting (+ house sitting) while they’re away in long trips as I love to play, cuddle, and take care of their little ones as if they were my own. I enjoy taking my family’s dogs for long walks whenever I visit and cuddling with the cat if she’s gracious enough to give me attention. I’d love to meet your pet and thanks in advance! 💗 I’m generally free before 2 pm and after 6 pm with open availability on the weekends though my schedule will vary on a weekly basis and can be pretty flexible! It’s not always easy for pets to be with a stranger but with trust, respect, and patience I hope to create a safe atmosphere. I’d love to implement the methods that have already been established by the pet owner to create a familiar environment and easy transition for your pet.
“Samantha is great! She took such good care of our dog, Javi! I received photos and updates on his walks. She made sure to follow all instructions on taking care of him-feeding him and making sure that he was walked and did his business as usual = ) Samantha made sure to keep our home secure when she left after the walks. I felt very comfortable with her having access to my home. Javi was very well taken care of and seemed very happy when we came home. I would highly recommend Samantha to anyone who may need a walker or sitter for their pets.”
“So grateful to Eliana for being able to take on the job so last minute and perfectly follow the care instructions for my boys without needing the meet and greet. The dogs loved her and I could 100% trust her with my apartment. Despite the challenges my dogs can put someone new through, she handled it all with great professionalism and experience!”
About: I've been caring for pets for over 20 years, and it's something I truly love. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets with the same attention and compassion I'd give my own. I offer flexible scheduling, daily photo updates, medication administration, and have extensive experience caring for senior pets and those who are anxious or have special needs. My goal is to help every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I adore animals of all kinds and would be honored to care for your furry family member! I work from home with a flexible schedule, which makes it easy to care for your pets when you need me. I am always on time and communicate often. I will follow your instructions on how to care for your baby in your home. I can even send photos and keep you updated throughout the day. (I should mention that I am also a professional pet photographer!)

“My dog, Belle is looking forward to seeing Lisa and staying in her home again. No separation anxiety like the first dog-sitting experiences. Lisa is very caring and responsible lady. I am happy that Belle finds her second home.”
“Greg is great! He asked lots of questions to make sure she’d be comfortable and happy. Very kind and thorough, and gave me updates throughout the day with pictures and videos of how truffles was doing. She’s always a little sad after leaving someone she likes, and she’s already sitting here missing him. Thank you again Greg!! Glad you both had fun together! :)”
“Nini was really sweet and caring with our doggo Bear. He likes lots of attention and play time and she was really good playing fetch with him and taking him on plenty of walks. We would definitely have Nini watch Bear for us again.”
“Sevan took care of Tucker, our 5-year old mixed breed dog, over the Christmas holiday. He kept in close communication, sent lots of pictures, and worked with Tucker on some training issues. He is a true professional and an excellent dog handler. We had a great meet & greet a few weeks before Tucker's boarding that alleviated all of my concerns. Can't recommend him highly enough!”
“What more can I say? Athene took amazing care of our Aussie Chip. We had to go on a family trip for 7 days and we were more than nervous since Chip was not neutered yet and he is still a young pup with tons of energy. She let us have a trial day care and he loved it! She responded super fast and made sure your pup is A-Ok. Her yard is super clean and dog friendly as well. Overall, shes so professional and took extremely good care of our dog. We even had a cancelled flight and she was able to help us out with extending the dates. Definitely will go to her again!”
“This was our second boarding for our pup with Miry and her family, and they continue to provide the best care. Thank you for loving on Archie, playing with him to get all his energy out, going on multiple walks a day, and giving him another home away from home. We can always count on them for a good dog stay!”
“Stephanie took absolutely excellent care of my dog. I received daily updates and photos and was assured that he would receive his medication as required while I was away for the holidays. I will definitely be using her again!”
About: I've shared my home with two to four dogs since coming to LA 15 years ago. Because I work from home, your pup gets a calm, dog-savvy human nearby all day — frequent yard breaks, play, and belly rubs instead of hours alone. I'm comfortable with puppies, seniors, medications, and high-energy dogs, and I keep my numbers small so every dog gets real one-on-one attention. I work from home on a flexible schedule, so your dog has company and supervision for most of the day — regular walks, play, and potty breaks, not long stretches alone. I offer boarding and daycare and take just one family's dog or two at a time, and I'm glad to keep your dog's normal routine for meals, naps, and bedtime. Your dog will have free range of my 3 bedroom home, detached studio, and very large, securely fenced yard. I don't have pets of my own right now, so your pup gets the whole space and my full attention — no other animals to compete with. I'm happy to crate or set up a quiet separate area if that's what your dog is used to, and I keep things calm and low-stress.
“Diego and his girlfriend were absolutely AMAZING with my Chocolate Lab, Lucy! From start to finish they were incredibly communicative, sending updates and photos that gave me so much peace of mind. Every time I checked in, Lucy looked like she was having the time of her life - constantly outside, running around, getting exercise, and interacting with lots of other dogs. She came home happy, tired, and clearly loved all the socialization and routine. I felt instantly comfortable trusting Diego with Lucy. As someone with a puppy who’s new to the city, it meant the world to know she was getting not just care, but structure, stimulation, socialization, and so much attention. I couldn’t be more grateful, and I know Lucy would love to go back. Truly 10/10 sitters. Thank you!”
“Daria took really good care of our Frenchie. Drop off and pickup was easy and flexible. We have received pictures and videos of him during our vacation which made us happy during our vacation. Thanks, we will book again.”
“Yvonne was so so amazing! I booked with her last minute and she cared for my pup so well! I received plentiful phots every day (amazing photographer too)! She communicated everything so clearly and timely. Will definitely book with her again if chance encounters!”
“Josie is amazing! Kind, thoughtful and an animal lover. Phil had the best week in her home and he keeps dragging me to her house. Very grateful and can’t recommend Josie more highly! Look forward to next time already.”
“Wonderful experience boarding my older dog! He had some behavioral issues which she dealt with superbly. I had peace of mind the whole time I had to be away from my doggo. Would highly recommend!”
“Catherine and Albert were great! Our dog Peanut stayed at their house and he had a great time! They took him on walks and also to the park. Peanut had a fun time playing with Trace (their dog) and the other dog they were dog-sitting. They also provided lots of updates and photos which is greatly appreciated as I missed my pup a lot.”
“If you are looking for a spectacular sitter, hire Steven! He went above and beyond for our pup, keeping us posted every step of the way with great photos. Our dog has separation anxiety, but Steven handled it flawlessly by dedicating lots of quality time to him and taking him on frequent daily walks. We couldn't have asked for better peace of mind. Highly recommended!”
“Jessica was absolutely amazing! My dog stayed with her for over a week and had a wonderful time. She sent me tons of pictures and updates and my dog was always doing something fun! I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Julianne is a great sitter and her space is absolutely perfect for active dogs like mine who love to run around. She’s always quick to respond to any messages and my dog seemed to have an amazing time, she was so relaxed when I picked up her which is rare. Would absolutely book with her again!”
“Yuhong is the best. She really came to our rescue last minute while we dealt with logistics related to the local wildfire. She took great care of our dog, and he was clearly happy in the daily update pics. On top of being available and reliable, Yuhong was also incredibly sensitive and caring towards our family's situation. I highly recommend her as both an awesome Rover and awesome human.”
