“Savannah took great care of my pooches. This was the first time being apart from them overnight, so I was a little nervous. She gave several update pics and made sure my two were comfortable and didn't stress about being away from me. One of them is pretty reactive to other dogs, but her and husband were able to walk both pooches without any issues. I look forward to booking with Savannah again in the future.”
“Rippley and Biscuit loved Kaitlin and Verle! I was so happy to see how relaxed my reactive and senior puppers were at a new location. The pictures they sent me of the dogs in full potato mode assured me that they felt right at home.”

“Samantha is AMAZING! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone. She kept me updated while I was gone, sent pictures, and truly cared for my pup like her own. I felt at ease while away!”
“Ami and her home were a great match for Henny. Coco and Henny got along very well during their meet and greet that I immediately knew it would be a great fit. Ami was very understanding and helpful. We received photo updates and when we picked up Henny she was very happy and we will definitely use Ami again and recommend to family and friends.”
“I had a wonderful experience with Nick. He was professional, reliable, and cared about my pet's well-being. I received regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My pet came home happy, and well cared for. I highly recommend Nick to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter, and I would definitely book with them again!”
“Whitney was incredible! So kind and communicative. We had a last minute funeral to attend and used a new dog sitter and she made us feel so comfortable! Will definitely work with Whitney again!”
“Good experience. Everything went smooth, my dog came back happy and healthy. Communication was good, i received pictures of my dog along the way and i could tell that the whole family loves animals. The price was fair as well. I would book again.”
“Marissa and her partner are amazing. We have used them 4 times now for week-long getaways, and they take such wonderful care of our pup! She loves the fenced outdoor space they have and gets plenty of walks and playtime. They send us regular updates and photos. We highly, highly recommend them!”
“I was a little scarred with my first booking on rover, but then I found Madison and I’m so happy I did! They were so kind, always kept me updated with photos and videos, showed me the area where the dogs would play before dropping my baby off, and even accommodated a last minute extra night. Will be booking with them again! 💙💙💙”
“Thor stayed at Luke and Elaheh house from Friday to Sunday and thor had the best time. They kept in contact with me the whole weekend about how thor was doing with pictures. We always worry about leaving thor at a place he will be comfortable and cared for and Luke and Elaheh went above and beyond for thor. If you are looking for a place to leave your fur baby I 100% recommend them. I know we will leave thor with them again in the near future.”
“Cristina was amazing with our pup. I felt so at ease leaving my dog with her. We had never boarded our dog before and Cristina was a wonderful first experience. Her home has a nice grassy yard, she treated Trixie like it was hers. She was super flexible with pick up times and rebooking days. Will definitely use her services again.”
“We can't say enough good things about Savanah, she took excellent care of our pup!! She was very communicative and so good at sending updates. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”

“Aurora checked in on my cat, Luna, while I was out of town. She sent photos of Luna looking relaxed and updated me on how she was doing. In addition to doing basic care she loved on her, gave her catnip, and put the faucet on in the bathroom every day so Luna could drink out if it. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future.”

About: Hi, I’m Emily - a life long dog lover who's had pups most of my life, including my sweet Pomeranian who lived to 19 years old. I work from home, so your dog will have constant companionship, lots of love, and plenty of attention throughout the day. We have a fenced yard for safe play and zoomies, and I truly treat every pup like part of the family. From walks to snuggles, I’m here to make your dog’s stay pawsitively great 🐾 I currently work from home so I'm available 24/7 to take care of your sweet pup. Because of my flexible schedule, I can easily adjust to your fur baby's unique needs. I am available Monday - Sundays for boarding at my home in La Mesa, CA. I have a fenced yard and a sweet Pomeranian to keep your dog(s) company. I can adjust to your furry friend's eating, walking and sleeping schedule. I'm here to ensure your dog is as happy as possible while you're away.
“She's great. My dog has never been with anyone but family and she is able to comfort him. With my schedule changing, it is wonderful having her as a backup for work. Like I said, she's great.”
About: I only accept one doggie family at a time, so your dog(s) will be the only ones here for boarding and doggie day care. I wanted to create a safe place for reactive dogs, little loners, and calm senior doggies who just want a place they can be themselves and have my full attention! I am a dog-lover with my whole life of experience in caring for them. I have had them in all shapes and sizes - my first two dogs being big German Shepherds to my last dog which was a little Maltipoo, and a few in between. I have potty trained quite a few dogs in my life, as well as helped them through their senior years. Most important of all, I will love your pets like they're my own children! 🩷 I'm currently working part time from home so I have plenty of availability to take your pup outside for potty breaks or walks and give them attention throughout the day. I have a safe, fenced yard with plenty of room for sniffing and sunshine. Big dogs will have room to run and fetch. I also have senior dog care items like a step to get on the couch. I allow dogs to be free in the house, they are never crated unless the owner specifically requests it as part of their nightly routine. In that case - I have a long gate that can be made into a pen, and a cage for a small dog, if requested. Pets are family here - I have always allowed my own pets on the couch or bed and will do the same for yours unless you prefer otherwise.
“Both Luke and Elaheh were amazing to both Smokey and Freida. It was the first time they took care of our dogs. They were gentle and very patient with them. We already book a ten days care for Smokey. And from now on they wil be our first choice of dog care!!”
About: I recently moved to the United States from another country and am currently studying English. Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve had both dogs and cats and truly understand how much they mean to their families. Back home, I have a senior Yorkshire Terrier who is 17 years old and still in good shape and decent health for her age. Caring for her has given me a lot of experience with senior dogs, patience, and gentle attention. I know how important routine, comfort, and love are. Being away from my own dog makes caring for other pets even more special to me. I treat every animal as if they were my own. I'm retired and studying part-time, so I have a very flexible schedule and lots of time to spend walking, playing, and giving pets attention they deserve. I live in an apartment with a secure building and quite environment. My home is calm, clean, and safe. I ensure regular walks, playtime, and supervision so pets stay comfortable and well cared for.

“From the moment I met Alanna and her family I felt immediate comforting and nurturing energy from her and her family. The most recent visit I mentioned to Alanna that midnight and I had a very stressful week and that she needed a lot of love as I had failed her to keep her in a calm environment. The following morning she called me to inform me that she noticed worms in Midnight's stool. I was extremely worried and ashamed about the situation. I truly appreciate her gentle approach to the emergency. It's moments like this that are truly valuable. Thank you Alanna ? I know that Midnight is in outstanding and in the most caring hands with you and your family. ?”

About: Hi, I'm Eda! I've been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. My grandpa had a beautiful farm in Temecula, where I grew up helping care for dogs, cats, chickens, goats, ducks, and even one very mean buck. From an early age, I also looked after my neighbors' pets, and I loved every minute of it. My family is from Turkey, where there's a deep appreciation for animals, especially dogs and cats. In my culture, animals are considered part of the family, and that's exactly how I've always treated them. That mindset has stayed with me throughout my life. I'm the friend who always finds the pet at the party, stops to admire every dog on a walk (with permission, of course), and can't resist saying hello to my neighborhood cat. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal's unique personality and making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quiet companion, I'll care for them with patience, attention, and lots of affection. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease knowing your pet is in kind, reliable hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and work part-time from home. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the animals in my care, whether they need regular walks, playtime, feeding, enrichment, or simply some extra companionship throughout the day. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I work from home part-time, giving me flexibility to provide attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including routines, feeding schedules, exercise needs, and crate preferences. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own.
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and cats since birth, so caring for furry friends is second nature to me. Animals aren't just pets; they're family, and that’s exactly how I’ll treat yours! I specialize in family-style boarding, meaning your pet will have full run of the house and constant companionship. I am a full time stay at home mom, so my schedule revolves around being here to provide supervised play, timely feedings, and plenty of love. We have a friendly 4yr old Maltipoo who absolutely loves making new friends! For everyone's safety, I only host dogs that are child-friendly. Your pup will also enjoy our fully fenced-in backyard, perfect for secure, off-leash zoomies and sunshine. We have a fenced-in yard for plenty of playtime, along with a warm and welcoming home where your pup will feel like part of the family.

“We had a wonderful experience with Samantha and Leighland walking Arlo, my 1 year old German shepherd, twice a day while I was out of the country for a couple of weeks. This was my first time leaving one of my dogs with someone new so was a little hesitant searching for a new walker so but I’m really glad that I chose them! The updates they sent we’re very comforting and made me feel that my boy was being very well taken care of. I cannot recommend them highly enough! I will definitely be a regular client.”
“Diana was absolutely amazing. Answered within minutes on my request. She is someone I was able to trust with my dog and my home. Super flexible with timing and even my last minute booking. She was great with sending text updates about my dog & pictures while out on the walk. Responsible, kind and most importantly my dog loved her! On point with texts, pictures and everything I could possibly wish for in a dog sitter. Will definitely use Diana again.”

“Savannah took great care of my pooches. This was the first time being apart from them overnight, so I was a little nervous. She gave several update pics and made sure my two were comfortable and didn't stress about being away from me. One of them is pretty reactive to other dogs, but her and husband were able to walk both pooches without any issues. I look forward to booking with Savannah again in the future.”
“Rippley and Biscuit loved Kaitlin and Verle! I was so happy to see how relaxed my reactive and senior puppers were at a new location. The pictures they sent me of the dogs in full potato mode assured me that they felt right at home.”
“Samantha is AMAZING! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone. She kept me updated while I was gone, sent pictures, and truly cared for my pup like her own. I felt at ease while away!”
“Ami and her home were a great match for Henny. Coco and Henny got along very well during their meet and greet that I immediately knew it would be a great fit. Ami was very understanding and helpful. We received photo updates and when we picked up Henny she was very happy and we will definitely use Ami again and recommend to family and friends.”
“I had a wonderful experience with Nick. He was professional, reliable, and cared about my pet's well-being. I received regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My pet came home happy, and well cared for. I highly recommend Nick to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter, and I would definitely book with them again!”
“Good experience. Everything went smooth, my dog came back happy and healthy. Communication was good, i received pictures of my dog along the way and i could tell that the whole family loves animals. The price was fair as well. I would book again.”
“Marissa and her partner are amazing. We have used them 4 times now for week-long getaways, and they take such wonderful care of our pup! She loves the fenced outdoor space they have and gets plenty of walks and playtime. They send us regular updates and photos. We highly, highly recommend them!”
“I was a little scarred with my first booking on rover, but then I found Madison and I’m so happy I did! They were so kind, always kept me updated with photos and videos, showed me the area where the dogs would play before dropping my baby off, and even accommodated a last minute extra night. Will be booking with them again! 💙💙💙”
“Thor stayed at Luke and Elaheh house from Friday to Sunday and thor had the best time. They kept in contact with me the whole weekend about how thor was doing with pictures. We always worry about leaving thor at a place he will be comfortable and cared for and Luke and Elaheh went above and beyond for thor. If you are looking for a place to leave your fur baby I 100% recommend them. I know we will leave thor with them again in the near future.”
“We can't say enough good things about Savanah, she took excellent care of our pup!! She was very communicative and so good at sending updates. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Natasha was incredibly attentive to our 8 month old pup and communicated regular updates! I appreciated that she asked how frequently we wanted updates to help set expectations upfront. She made sure our pup was not just well taken care of but engaged and exercised regularly, plus she kept up with training which was a bonus. We even went through travel delays getting home and she was flexible to accommodate the extra time, it was great knowing our dog was taken care of and didn't add to the stress of travel. We would absolutely use Natasha again.”
“Erika is super reliable, organized, and cares a lot about animals! She took care of Quincy well and gave us updates multiple times a day. Quincy tends to overheat pretty quickly, and we let Erika know this ahead of the 90 degree days and she went above and beyond making sure we knew he was cool, only went on walks early or late, etc. Q will be back!”
“We felt completely at ease leaving our dog with Mark over the holidays. He made sure Apollo was comfortable in his home and was super accommodating to all his little quirks. Mark's communication was excellent, always quick and responsive, which we appreciated. We'd definitely book with him again and recommend him to other dog owners :)”
“I could tell my cat and dog had a great stay! Monique is awesome and really provided a homey experience for them. She sent updates and I’m happy my fur babies had a lovely weekend.”
“We were so thankful to have found Trent and his wonderful family for our Buster!! We really appreciated the regular check-ins/pics and videos! They were so easy to work with. We will definitely be rebooking with them when the time comes.”
“Merlin had a wonderful time at Andrew’s! He sent updates at least once a day and took Merlin outside to play and expel his super high energy. I highly recommend Andrew for anyone needing care for their pet! He was very professional and was super knowledgeable about behavior recognition and training! His two dogs, Zeus and Baloo, are super sweet and interacted with Merlin very well.”
