“My experience with Polyanna couldn't have been more positive. She was punctual and super friendly in all of our meetings. She sent me photos of Jojo while I was away, which made me feel very calm and reassured :) I was happy my dog had the chance to socialize and be with someone else other than me (she's over attached). I can't thank Polyanna enough!”
“We had such a great experience! Kiryl took amazing care of our dog for the entire week and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dog was in such good hands. He was reliable, attentive, and clearly loves what he does. We wouldn't hesitate to book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. Thank you Kiryl!”
“Jennie was super friendly and reassuring during Roger's first official boarding experience. I got frequent updates through messages, pictures, and videos! They made me feel very safe leaving my boy with them and gave him plenty of attention, he definitely came back a happy cat. I would highly recommend for anyone anxious about first time boarding!”
“Our family sitter fell through at the last minute due to a family emergency and we had to find another one quickly. Thankfully, SaeWon and her family were available. Our Coco is an anxious dog and requires attention when she’s in a new environment. SaeWon and her family took great care of her and assured us Coco was doing well, sending us updates and photos and videos. We can’t thank them enough for helping us out on such a short notice! ❤️🐶”
“Thanks Rommel and his family for taking care of Bruno. He was happy at their home and being with them. They are very nice family. Bruno enjoyed his time there. Thanks again!”
About: I’ve always been around animals and genuinely love them, especially Golden Retrievers. My friends and family trust me with their dogs because I actually enjoy spending time with them. I hang out with them, play with them, take them on walks, and make sure they get plenty of attention. I don’t personally have a dog at the moment because I travel from time to time, but dogs have always been a big part of my life. My wife has owned two dogs, and I’ve personally had cats, so I’m very comfortable around animals and caring for them. I’m patient, calm, and good at building trust, especially with pets who may need a little time to warm up. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. I will personally be the one providing all care for any pets booked through my Rover profile. I’m available mornings and evenings for dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, and boarding. I enjoy spending real time with the pets I care for, whether that means going on walks, playing, hanging out, or just keeping them company. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and messages so you know how they’re doing. Since I live in an apartment, the best fit would be a dog who is house trained, calm indoors, and comfortable using either the elevator or stairs. They should also be able to settle without excessive barking. I’m happy to spend plenty of time with them, play, go on walks, and keep them company. I just ask that they don’t have a history of aggressive behavior, biting, frequent accidents, or destructive habits. A quick meet and greet beforehand would be great so we can make sure everyone feels comfortable and it’s a good fit. I’m happy to spend plenty of time with them, play, go on walks, and keep them company. I just ask that they don’t have aggressive behavior, biting, frequent accidents, or destructive habits. A quick meet-and-greet beforehand would be great so we can make sure everyone feels comfortable and it’s a good fit.
“I cannot say how wonderful this experience was. Communication was excellent. Multiple pictures sent without asking. I think my dog liked it there better than Home. I cannot recommend this Rover more. I will definitely use them again and I suggest you do as well.! if I could give six stars, I would”
“My wife and I booked with Banafshe for a long weekend trip, after our go-to dog sitter was unavailable. We are happy we did. Before the sit, Banafshe was courteous and timely in replying to our handful of messages with questions. She was gracious enough to allow us to bring Huxley over for a quick meetup with her and her lovely family), before the scheduled stay. Banafshe followed up with us the day of to confirm what time we would be dropping Huxley off. Unexpectedly, our pup had a tooth pulled prior to the boarding, and Banafshe was very helpful in ensuring Huxley received his medication (in his food). Throughout the time of the boarding she provided thoughtful updates and photos and was very responsive. She checked in with us to confirm when we would be picking up Huxley and made sure his items we left with her, were in his bag. 10/10. We would trust her and her family with our furbaby again and I highly recommend. 🥰”
“Annie did an amazing job watching Miso! She is very caring, attentive, and made sure that Miso had the best time. It was clear that Miso felt very comfortable with her and loved staying in her home. Annie sent lots of pictures and videos to keep me updated on how Miso was doing which I really appreciated. I would highly recommend having Annie watch your fur baby, she will treat them as her own!”
“My dog, Bailey, had a great stay with Victoria. She stayed in touch with me assuring me Bailey was fine. I knew she was in good care. No problems, easy to interact with. I would recommend her!!”
“Grace and her family were wonderful, caring, and so accommodating to our requests. She kept us updated with pictures and our family felt very at ease leaving our beloved dog in her care over the weekend. He had the best weekend with Grace's dog, Kaka. I would recommend her to anyone who's looking for a trusted pet owner to board their own dogs overnight.”
“Connie has been caring for my senior spaniel for 2 years now. She is warm and kind and gentle, and my shy gal took to her right away. Connie sends lots of photos and it’s clear that my little gal is living her best life while I’m gone. I am so grateful for the peace of mind Connie provides and will continue to book her whenever I’m traveling.”
“Wen was absolutely wonderful with our dogs! She took such loving, attentive care of them, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. She was also incredibly accommodating with our fluctuating travel schedule, which made everything easier for us. We’re so grateful for the care and flexibility she provided and will definitely be using Wen again. Highly recommend!”
“Wonderful dog sitter! They sent photos of my dog several times throughout the day and gave me updates to make me feel comfortable while they were watching my dog. I will use them again for sure.”
“We have used Patricia several times and she always provides the best service! She treats our dog, Penelope, like her own and shares lots of updates (photos & videos). Penelope loves her time with Patty and her dog, which leaves us at ease when we travel.”
“Hanah, Dabin, and Evan made Seven’s first night away from home so positive. They cared for him like he was their own with lots of exercise and attention. I appreciate how responsive they were with sending me updates and pictures throughout his time with them. I am so glad I found them and would definitely book them again!”
About: I grew up with a dog and learned how to care for and raise him from a young age. He lived a long life and passed away in my arms at 17, which taught me how deeply pets become part of the family. Later, when I became a parent myself, we brought two dogs into our home right away. One of them had a congenital condition, and for 10 years we cared for him very attentively, making sure he lived a happy and comfortable life. This gave me strong experience not only in daily care, but also in supporting dogs with medical needs. Now our second dog has lost his companion, and I came to Rover to be helpful to other families and their pets. Your dog will not feel lonely — he will have company, care, and a warm, loving environment. I truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog as part of the family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I stay home most of the day. I structure my day around the dogs — regular walks, feeding, playtime, and rest. It’s very important to me to keep a consistent routine and give each dog enough attention, especially during moments when they may miss their owners. We go on daily walks in safe and pleasant areas nearby. There is also a dog park where your dog can play off-leash if you are comfortable with that, as well as many walking trails for longer, relaxed walks. I always adjust the activity level to your dog’s needs and personality. I also provide regular updates with photos and videos so you can feel comfortable while you’re away. We live in a bright, spacious apartment where your dog will feel comfortable and safe. I accept one dog at a time, or two dogs from the same family, so each pet can receive plenty of attention and care. My child is 16 years old and has a great understanding of how to interact with animals respectfully and calmly. You can leave all your instructions, preferences, and schedules — I will follow them carefully to make sure your dog feels at home and stays in their usual routine.

“This was the first time using Diana and she was fantastic! Symba took her really easily and her notes back with all the images was exactly what I needed to make sure my baby was OK while I travel home today. Thank you Diana for taking the last minute check in! Will be re-booking again soon.”
About: I've shared my home with a cat for 11 years, so I know cats need someone who can read the room. I pay attention to the little things: whether your cat wants company or space that day, sticking to their exact feeding and litter routine, and not making a big deal out of hiding or standoffishness. I treat every home like I'd want mine treated. Doors and windows checked, routines followed, and no rushing through the visit just to check a box. You'll get honest updates and photos, including if your cat is being a bit of a diva that day. Happy to do a free meet & greet first so your cat can decide if I pass inspection.
“Novia cared for our 2 cats while we were gone on an international trip. She was incredibly responsive, responsible, and clearly cared so well for our little fur babies! She sent really detailed notes about all her visits, and left my husband and I confident that our cats were in good hands.”
“Greta perfectly executed on requested tasks, and always provided pics. IN ADDITION, she went above and beyond with two random apartment issues — ants and misadressed mail. I absolutely recommend her and will reach out to her in the future.”
About: I’ve been around and cared for cats throughout my life, and I love getting to know each one’s unique personality. I understand that every cat has their own comfort level, so I always try to follow their lead. If they’re playful and energetic, I’m happy to keep them entertained with toys and playtime, and if they’re more shy, independent, or relaxed, I’m patient and happy to give them the space they need. Whether they love cuddles or prefer to keep their distance, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
“Kailyr was very sweet to my senior cat, Buddy. It was my first time leaving him alone on a week long trip, and she did a great job of following instructions and giving him lots of love. I recommend her to care for your fur babies!”
About: I’ve been caring for cats for 13 years, from playful kittens to senior cats with special needs. I’m comfortable administering medications, following specific feeding schedules, and giving anxious or shy cats the space and patience they need to feel comfortable. I treat every cat like my own — thorough litter box cleaning, plenty of playtime, and close attention to any changes in behavior or appetite.
“Irena is by far the most amazing cat sitter. She took such great care of our 4 cats while we were on vacation. I received the most adorable photos and videos showing how much fun they were having, as well as love and attention. We highly recommend her. ❤️”
“Regi is one of the most communicative and thorough rovers we have ever had! She sent lots of pictures, was thorough with all the care instructions we left for our cats, and went out of her way to do some extra things to make our cats more comfortable and happy. Our cats absolutely loved her, and we will 100% be rebooking her in the future.”
“Kayla is a very delightful young lady. She took very good care of my babies. I would highly recommend her to anybody. She was efficient on time and just the total delight. She was a total package. She knew her stuff and she was very professional highly recommend her to anybody.”
“Corey continues to be our go-to sitter for our two cats. They love Corey, recognize her each time she takes care of them, and get plenty of play time in. Thank you Corey!!”
“Zhaoyang is a lifesaver! I left the care of my cats with my roommate, but he's an idiot and didn't do a good job. I was overseas, frantically looking for someone who could drop in and care for my babies. Zhaoyang stepped in, knew exactly what to do, no additional instructions were needed. She's smart, timely and cares for animals. I highly recommend her.”

“Kiryl, Thank you so much for caring for my pal Pearl, sending photos, feeding and sitting with her. Gave me such peace and calm knowing you showed up as scheduled. I felt so much comfort knowing you are in the complex too.”
“Lisa was perfect for our 3 cats. She updated us whenever anything odd or important happened, or the cats had any issues. She sent us lots of updates and photos, so we could see how they were doing. She maintained their bowls and boxes wonderfully, and played with them a lot. The cats did great while we were gone, and we were so happy with how happy they seemed.”
About: I have grown up with cats my whole life. I have two cats of my own who I rescued from a shelter. They love going on walks in their cat-friendly stroller or chasing their laser! I believe a loved cat is a happy cat and loving a cat includes cleaning their litter box, making sure they are fed and enriching them in whatever activities they are going interested in (lasers, mouse shaped toys, string toys).
“Really appreciated Alyssa checking in on my pet over a long weekend! She shared lots of photos/videos and made sure Luna got play time/energy out during her visits. She was reliable to stop in during the windows booked, and cares about the pets she’s checking on!”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats, including daily walks, feeding schedules, medication if needed, and companionship.

“Our lil furry baby loved Diana as well as the rest of her family! She came home everyday exhausted from all the playing and walkies which made my life easier! I definitely recommend her 10/10 could not have asked for a better dog sitter. She was super communicative and sent multiple updates throughout the day (which is helpful for anxious parents). They even went on adventures to the beach and to different parks and I was truly grateful for all the love she showed my lil fur child. She was truly AMAZING!”

“Jenann has been truly amazing. I cannot thank her enough for the love and care she gave MC. I could see how at ease he was every time I dropped him off and picked him up.

My only hope is that she becomes somewhat available in the future. Thanks again🙏”

“I appreciate Joshua's quick communicating on short notice. We were able to have a nice chat when I dropped off my dogs and make sure everything was okay with his 2 dogs. My booking that day was a pretty long one and he had no problem stepping up to help out. He also took my dogs out for a run, even though I did not ask that from him because it was above and beyond. He happily met my request for extra precaution to block off/shore up the perimeter on the side of house because I was a little concerned about the gate/fence latch that had 1 fastener loose. After I picked my Huskies up late evening, they were even more calm than usual about coming home and winding down for bedtime. Whatever magic Joshua worked, it was much appreciated!”

Reliable, attentive, follows routines, and ensures pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. currently work part-time and am available for pet sitting Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays anytime.

About: I’ve been raised around animals of all kinds since I can remember, my mother regularly raised foster kittens and we had foster dogs constantly in and out of the house. I currently still foster dogs and kittens on my own and am the go to sitter for all my friends and family. Spent years volunteering at shelters and rescues and also worked at a pet store for over a year. Also lover of small critters being a mom of fish, frogs, a hamster, and a spider. I currently work from home selling artwork and crafts so I’m very flexible with my schedule. I can stay all day or even over night and make sure to keep your pet company. I’m an avid hiker so I’d be more than happy to take your dog for a long hike (with permission obviously) or shorter walks around the neighborhood. I would only need to leave for short errands and to feed my own pets if my partner is unable to do so, but majority of time is dedicated to your Pets in your home. I’ve worked with animals of all ages and personalities and can accommodate any special needs your pet may have. If they are shy and need time to warm up, I will do all I can to gain their trust. If they need specialty food or medication, I have my own cats on a strict medication schedule so I’m more than used to it. If they are high energy and need lots of exercise I will make sure to get them up and running around as much as they need. I just want to make sure their lives are just as comfortable as when you are home with them.
About: Hello! And welcome to my page! I go by CeCe! I am grown and raised in beautiful sunny Santa Barbara! I now reside in the lovely sunny Orange County! I’ve been around animals all my life. From my mom having the best border collie when I was a baby, to us having two cats, a bunny, and at least one parakeet in an apartment that i grew up in during most of my childhood to teen years. It was even my dream to get a job working at my local zoo as an actor, which eventually came true. All so I could be surrounded by animals, and say I worked with Dinosaurs too (I even acted with them)! When I moved out of my childhood home I unfortunately could only find affordable places to live that didn’t allow animals. That’s how I got into dog sitting! I loved being around animals and helping others take care of their fluffy family members. I now live with my significant other whose family cat is king of the house. I still enjoy walking dogs and house sitting. I do, unfortunately, work a 9 to 5 office job Monday to Friday (actually 8 to 4) to pay the bills. Because of this my rates reflect that. I wish I could pet sit all the time but for now this is my second job. I will treat your house as my own with a cleanly manner. I have my own form of transportation in the form of a vehicle with four wheels so any adventurous pups I am able to accommodate! I work an 8hr office job Monday to Friday. Sometimes a Saturday or Sunday if I happened to miss a day during the week due to life. It is adjustable and willing to accommodate with enough prior notice. Any lunch drop ins will need to be discussed. Because of previous experiences drop ins will need to be agreed upon by both parties and throughly planned. I am uncomfortable with cameras inside the home that are not made aware of during meet and greet. I am okay with cameras outside the home and understand the safety concerns of having them. I do not abide by using them to track movements of caregivers. I have an office job Monday to Friday, sometimes I have to make up hours on a weekend day because of other adult responsibilities during the week coinciding with other adult responsibilities such as work. I typically work 8hrs with a lunch break that can be up to an hour. I also have a partner and a home to help run. I have errands to take care of after work and on days off, like weekends. That being said I will do everything in my power to put your pet first, but I will not ignore my health.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and understand their different personalities, walking habits, and needs. I always prioritize their safety and comfort by bringing water on walks, choosing shaded routes or grassy areas when it’s hot to protect their paws, and letting them stop to sniff and explore—because walks should be enjoyable, not just exercise! You can count on me to treat your dog with the same care, patience, and attention I’d give my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent, reliable walks throughout the week. I make sure every dog gets the exercise, attention, and pace that’s right for them while keeping their safety and comfort a priority. I tailor each walk to the individual dog, paying attention to their energy level, personality, and comfort. I’m patient and attentive throughout the walk, allowing them time to explore and enjoy themselves while keeping them safe and under control.
About: Hi, My name is Natalie. I am a gentle & caring caretaker here to help ease your pet's worries while you are away. As a veterinary technician, I've supported scared animals through some of their most vulnerable hours. I'm known for being abundantly patient & gentle. I help pets feel more comfortable, more secure, reassured, & cared for. I pride myself in paying strong attention to details, which is invaluable in veterinary care & will provide an extra level of supervision for your pet should anything seem amiss or unusual when I arrive. Frequent jogging is a health goal of mine, so whether your pet is a tiny puppy looking for attention, a geriatric needing special tender loving care, or a strong young dog begging to get some of its energy out, I really can help you meet your pet's needs. I recently moved to Orange County & I'm excited to add pet care back into my routine in my new stomping ground. Jogging a few times a week is a health goal of mine, so I look forward to helping energetic dogs get out & moving! Sharing my time petting, caring for & keeping company those pets who are just not happy to be left home alone will be a very fulfilling part of my day. Very old, very young, large, small, & anything in between, I'm here for them. I want your pets to feel happier, more comfortable, less anxious & more reassured by having me there to break up the monotony of their day. Some animals just feel sad being alone, others need help getting out to the grass for a potty break. Some dogs just have more energy than they know what to do with & will be healthier, happier, more well behaved animals for you when you get home, if they've had an opportunity to let off some steam during the day. Your pet's health, safety, & well-being is my top priority. I've been extremely fortunate to grow up with a wide variety of pets, from dogs, cats, rabbit, guinea pig, hamsters, birds, quail, frogs, and fish. I understand that pets can feel more like members of the family than animals. I strive to give your pets the same level of care and respect that you would if you could be there in the moment.
“Highly recommend Randi! She is professional, punctual, and provenherself to be trustworthy. She took the time to genuinely understand my dog's needs and they hit it off immediately. She gave my dog a fantastic walk and even spent time playing ball. Excellent service all around. We will definitely be rebooking.”
About: I’m confident your baby won’t miss mommy and daddy while in my care. We’ll spend quality time walking, running, and hiking as much as they’d like, plus plenty of cuddles in between. We can do this as my partner and I both work from home. I know exactly how hard it is to leave a pet behind, so I make sure every pet parent gets regular updates and cute photos to ease separation anxiety (I have one with my pets😉🤣). I’m also a skilled photographer, so you’ll get great shots of your baby having a blast. I’m a huge animal lover, the kind whose feed is entirely animals, including species some people find intimidating. I’ve had all kinds of pets over the years, and every one of them outlived its expected lifespan under my care. I’ve looked after family and friends’ dogs since I was a kid, and for the past several years I’ve spent a month annually caring for my aunt’s elderly dog, who is deaf and blind and only trusts me with her care. Since I’m almost always home and only leave to exercise, I can play and cuddle with your pet all day long. Being athletic myself and having easy access to great trails and walking routes nearby makes me an ideal dog walker. My partner, a former tennis player, is also an expert at fetch at the park right next to us. I work from home and barely go out because I am a homebody who loves cuddling and playing with animals all day. I love running and walking near my place and can do it as much as needed. My place is a third-floor townhome plan, and it’s 1,500 sq ft. I don’t leave my place for three hours a day unless there is a special occasion. We have three cats at home who are shy but sweet and wouldn’t ever bother the dog. They are all fully vaccinated, including rabies. We have many hiking trails, beach walks, and parks near our place, so we can go to entertain the dogs as much as they want:) If you allow us, we can take the baby for a beach day too!😉
“I had an amazing first experience with Rover thanks to Bridget. She arrived early and was so great with my dog, Luna. Bridget was attentive, caring, and made sure Luna was well taken care of. I highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again!”

About: Growing up, I've cared for 3 family dogs, 7 cats, 5 tortoises, and 2 cockatiels. I've been a sitter for many cats and dogs since age 14. I have 3 cats now and they're my world! I would love to meet your sweet fur babies to take them out to enjoy the sun, get some exercise and get lots of pets and love! I've taken care of dogs as small as Chihuahuas and as large as a St. Bernard. My dream in life is to open my own animal sanctuary one day.

I have a full time job, but I am able to work around my schedule to care for your babies. If you are a bit flexible, I usually can accept any booking. I have 3 cats that are all indoors. One of my boys likes to go on walks everyday with a leash, he's basically a dog!
About: Hi! I’m Nadia — lifelong dog lover, professional belly-rub provider, and the person who will absolutely say hi to your dog before saying hi to you. 🐶 I grew up with dogs and genuinely can’t imagine life without them. To me, dogs aren’t just pets — they’re family members with very strong opinions about dinner time, walking routes, and exactly how much space they deserve on the couch (usually all of it). I’m the type of person who will happily go on a long walk, play fetch for the 47th time, have a full conversation with your dog like they understand every word, or spend the afternoon cuddling on the couch if that’s more their speed. I love getting to know each dog’s little personality and quirks — whether they’re a social butterfly, professional napper, chaotic ball of energy, or a distinguished senior who simply wants snacks and peace ☺️ I’m also a newly minted Pediatrician, so being responsible, attentive to details, and staying calm when something seems off comes naturally to me. I’m comfortable following specific routines, giving medications, and caring for older dogs or pups who need a little extra TLC. Most importantly, I know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your dog with someone else. I’ll treat your pup like I’d want someone to treat my own: lots of love, attention, patience, and probably an unreasonable number of photos sent to you throughout the day! 📸🐾 I am available to take care of your fur babies at different times pending my hospital schedule. Hours available will depend on my work schedule! Caring for your fur babies will depend on your own environment and your needs. I will always cater to your needs and your fur babies needs!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since high school from walks, check-ins, and overnights 🐶💕 I am looking forward to learning about and caring for your dogs 🐩 Please reach out to me with your requests and questions! I am currently working part time so I have a pretty flexible schedule! My schedule can vary by week so I am happy to communicate and find a time that works for everyone.

“Our family sitter fell through at the last minute due to a family emergency and we had to find another one quickly. Thankfully, SaeWon and her family were available. Our Coco is an anxious dog and requires attention when she’s in a new environment. SaeWon and her family took great care of her and assured us Coco was doing well, sending us updates and photos and videos. We can’t thank them enough for helping us out on such a short notice! ❤️🐶”
“Thanks Rommel and his family for taking care of Bruno. He was happy at their home and being with them. They are very nice family. Bruno enjoyed his time there. Thanks again!”
About: I’ve always been around animals and genuinely love them, especially Golden Retrievers. My friends and family trust me with their dogs because I actually enjoy spending time with them. I hang out with them, play with them, take them on walks, and make sure they get plenty of attention. I don’t personally have a dog at the moment because I travel from time to time, but dogs have always been a big part of my life. My wife has owned two dogs, and I’ve personally had cats, so I’m very comfortable around animals and caring for them. I’m patient, calm, and good at building trust, especially with pets who may need a little time to warm up. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. I will personally be the one providing all care for any pets booked through my Rover profile. I’m available mornings and evenings for dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, and boarding. I enjoy spending real time with the pets I care for, whether that means going on walks, playing, hanging out, or just keeping them company. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and messages so you know how they’re doing. Since I live in an apartment, the best fit would be a dog who is house trained, calm indoors, and comfortable using either the elevator or stairs. They should also be able to settle without excessive barking. I’m happy to spend plenty of time with them, play, go on walks, and keep them company. I just ask that they don’t have a history of aggressive behavior, biting, frequent accidents, or destructive habits. A quick meet and greet beforehand would be great so we can make sure everyone feels comfortable and it’s a good fit.

“My wife and I booked with Banafshe for a long weekend trip, after our go-to dog sitter was unavailable. We are happy we did. Before the sit, Banafshe was courteous and timely in replying to our handful of messages with questions. She was gracious enough to allow us to bring Huxley over for a quick meetup with her and her lovely family), before the scheduled stay. Banafshe followed up with us the day of to confirm what time we would be dropping Huxley off. Unexpectedly, our pup had a tooth pulled prior to the boarding, and Banafshe was very helpful in ensuring Huxley received his medication (in his food). Throughout the time of the boarding she provided thoughtful updates and photos and was very responsive. She checked in with us to confirm when we would be picking up Huxley and made sure his items we left with her, were in his bag. 10/10. We would trust her and her family with our furbaby again and I highly recommend. 🥰”
“My dog, Bailey, had a great stay with Victoria. She stayed in touch with me assuring me Bailey was fine. I knew she was in good care. No problems, easy to interact with. I would recommend her!!”
“Connie has been caring for my senior spaniel for 2 years now. She is warm and kind and gentle, and my shy gal took to her right away. Connie sends lots of photos and it’s clear that my little gal is living her best life while I’m gone. I am so grateful for the peace of mind Connie provides and will continue to book her whenever I’m traveling.”
“Wen was absolutely wonderful with our dogs! She took such loving, attentive care of them, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. She was also incredibly accommodating with our fluctuating travel schedule, which made everything easier for us. We’re so grateful for the care and flexibility she provided and will definitely be using Wen again. Highly recommend!”
“Hanah, Dabin, and Evan made Seven’s first night away from home so positive. They cared for him like he was their own with lots of exercise and attention. I appreciate how responsive they were with sending me updates and pictures throughout his time with them. I am so glad I found them and would definitely book them again!”
About: I grew up with a dog and learned how to care for and raise him from a young age. He lived a long life and passed away in my arms at 17, which taught me how deeply pets become part of the family. Later, when I became a parent myself, we brought two dogs into our home right away. One of them had a congenital condition, and for 10 years we cared for him very attentively, making sure he lived a happy and comfortable life. This gave me strong experience not only in daily care, but also in supporting dogs with medical needs. Now our second dog has lost his companion, and I came to Rover to be helpful to other families and their pets. Your dog will not feel lonely — he will have company, care, and a warm, loving environment. I truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog as part of the family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I stay home most of the day. I structure my day around the dogs — regular walks, feeding, playtime, and rest. It’s very important to me to keep a consistent routine and give each dog enough attention, especially during moments when they may miss their owners. We go on daily walks in safe and pleasant areas nearby. There is also a dog park where your dog can play off-leash if you are comfortable with that, as well as many walking trails for longer, relaxed walks. I always adjust the activity level to your dog’s needs and personality. I also provide regular updates with photos and videos so you can feel comfortable while you’re away. We live in a bright, spacious apartment where your dog will feel comfortable and safe. I accept one dog at a time, or two dogs from the same family, so each pet can receive plenty of attention and care. My child is 16 years old and has a great understanding of how to interact with animals respectfully and calmly. You can leave all your instructions, preferences, and schedules — I will follow them carefully to make sure your dog feels at home and stays in their usual routine.
“Bridget was absolutely incredible with our boy! She and her family were so kind and caring, and updated us with lots of photos and videos. Our dog unexpectedly fell sick, and she not only immediately notified us, but took him to the emergency vet within minutes. She felt comfortable caring for him at home and he recovered well with her. Our dog became part of the family with her, and we would not hesitate to ask Bridget to watch him again in the future. She is an absolute gem!”
“Temi was AMAZING! This was the longest I had left my pup and I was nervous. Temi took such great care of her, sent me pics and even took her out and about and on a hike! So grateful!”
“Beyond excellent care!! We are so glad we booked with Ning, communication since the beginning was outstanding and the care was amazing. She would send updates, pictures and videos throughout the day giving us so much peace of mind knowing that our furry one was well taken care of and looking so happy at all times. I would rebook any day without any hesitation.”
“We are very grateful for how Megan took care of our 7 year old Golden while we were away, sending pictures and updates everyday. Megan is a great communicator, very caring and truly loves dogs. We will love to have Jingle stay with her in the future and we highly recommend Megan!”
“So sweet! Very nice couple and their dog is adorable and well behaved also. Avery had a great time! They even sent him home with a really cute photo of himself. I can’t say enough good things and I will definitely use her again.”
“Rebecca’s been amazing with our Golden Retreiver, Neo. Neo stayed at Rebecca’s for ~ 2 weeks while we were out traveling out country. She shared daily pictures while walking, playing and simply enjoying puppies. Rebeccah also has a great story telling skill as she narrated daily know-how of Neo with hunter (super cute dog) and other pals. Also, appreciate Rebeccah for sharing Neo’s pictures whatsapp as requested. So, overall an Amazing Host and we are happy and lucky to have found her reference to take care of our pup. Will surely look forward to Rebeccah for next time. Thanks!”
“Lee was absolutely wonderful!! Our pup had the best time, was so well taken care of and we got wonderful updates throughout our trip. We felt so lucky to have Lee watch Griffin and never had to worry about him. Would highly recommend Lee!! Thank you Lee for taking such great care of our pup!!”
“Emily and her family (Nyla included!) were exceptional looking after our dog River for a week. They were welcoming and friendly and we were very happy leaving River with them. Emily posted pictures everyday - which helped us relax on our break knowing that River was in such a safe and positive environment”
“Our dog Nova had such a good time with Joshua this weekend! He took great care of her and she loved playing with his dog. He was quick to respond on rover messaging and even sent us multiple photos and videos of Nova. Would definitely recommend and trust any pet with him.”
