“Charlie had a blast with Selina and was well cared for. He really loves her and during pick up, he wanted to go back into her place. He had plenty of exercise and play time, which is important to his well being. Thank you Selina.”
“My husband and I were here on a RV camping trip across the country. We wanted to board our puppy for a couple of days when we knew we would be out all day sightseeing and found the Rover app. Marsha in Fremont CA took such great care of our Daisy. She kept in touch with us and sent pictures. We would definitely bring Daisy to Marsha again if we are in the area in the future.”
“I have nothing but positive things to say about Namita and Sijan as dog sitters. If I could give them 6 stars I would. This was the first time we used Rover for dog boarding, and I wasn’t sure what to expect. Namita responded promptly to arrange a meet and greet. I felt immediately at ease when we met and I observed how she and her family interacted with the dogs alongside Jubilee, our little senior poodle, in their home. Namita was so friendly and enthusiastic about getting to know her. Jubilee is on the shy side but sweet. I can tell from the pictures, videos and updates Namita sent that she and her family did everything they could to make her stay of 3 nights as enjoyable as possible. They were super attentive, kind and caring. We learned Jubilee spent lots of time on their laps, where she was most comfortable and happy. We find no need to seek another dog sitter for as long as Namita ad Sijan’s services are available. We are so appreciative of all the love they gave to our Jubilee!”
“My 5-month-old puppy had a fantastic time during her stay. She made a lot of puppy friends, and Marina & Anwar treated her with excellent care, treating her like one of their own. As it was our first time leaving our puppy, they made us feel at ease by consistently sharing pictures and videos. I plan on booking with them again and would suggest their services to others.”
“Hong was a great communicator throughout my Tofu’s stay. She sent me daily photos and videos, which gave me peace of mind and let me see how Tofu was doing. I really appreciated the regular updates and care she provided. I would definitely recommend Hong and would be happy to have her watch Tofu again!”
“I am delighted with my buddy's boarding at Su B.'s. He was in excellent spirit when I went to pick him back. I will use Su B.'s place for my pal in the future if available, and I highly recommend it.”
“Sriram & family are the best dog sitters we have hired on Rover. Got daily pictures of our dog with smiles on our dogs face. Our dog Dou Dou was completely relaxed and felt at home with Sriram. Highly recommend this dog sitter.”
“We had such a great experience with Cecilia and Ethan! I was honestly a little nervous at first since I had never used Rover before or had strangers care for our dogs, especially since one of our dogs requires daily medication. We decided to do an initial meet-and-greet beforehand so we could get to know Cecilia and Ethan and make sure they were the right fit, and I’m so glad we did! I shared a detailed care guide with them, and they followed everything to a tee. They were incredibly responsible, attentive, and responsive throughout our entire trip. They also went above and beyond by taking our dogs out to the lake and even to Monterey! We received lots of photos and videos every day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs basically had a little vacation of their own! 🥹 It’s very clear that Cecilia and Ethan genuinely care about dogs and put a lot of thought into making sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will absolutely be going with Cecilia and Ethan again the next time we need someone to care for our dogs. Highly recommend them! 🐶♥️”
“I am happy we found Xiaokun. Our foster fail puppy who is a 6 month German Shepherd went to him for multiple doggy day care days and one boarding visit. She came back each time happy and tired. I really appreciated how Xiaokun followed our instructions and had great communication, especially when we boarded our pup shortly after her spay surgery. Also loved that on the doggy day care days he took our pup on awesome hikes/walks and sent pics for our peace of mind. Xiaokun has great calm energy and that definitely translated to making my pups stay a great one. Definitely recommend!”
“Janine and her family were so welcoming and their home and yards are safe and awesome! I needed to board my Aussie a couple of days before needing to leave for a family emergency. Janine responded quickly and we scheduled a time for me and my dog to visit to make sure it’d be a good fit. She and her teen kids each took a dog and me and my dog for a walk around the block, then they opened up their home to me to show me how my dog would live when boarded. They showed me the white board where they write down the dogs diets and schedule and sent me updates and photos. I really appreciated that. It was a lot of effort on their part! My dog has a torn ACL and safety was a priority. Chase came back tired, happy, and healthy. I know he had a lot of fun. Thanks Janine, until next time!”
“Lihuan id a great job, kept me updated with pictures and videos daily, followed instructions. Was timely with pickup and drop of. I would definitely trust Annie to Lihuan again! Thank you :)”
“Shruti and Gautham are very kind and are very accommodating dog sitters. They already have a large breed at theirs so it was very relieving and didn’t have a worry much about running them through big dog details. We are very glad we found them on rover and although Leo is nervous at new place he did great for the first time with them and I am pretty sure he’ll only get comfortable and be excited to go to them in no time. Thanks for taking care of Leo guys”
“Our 7 year old Shepherd mix gets lots of long walks and cuddles when Judi takes care of her. She has some separation anxiety but seems calm and content when we leave her with Judi. Definitely recommend Judi as a dog sitter 😊”
“Paula was fantastic! She looked after my dog Ginger while I was away on vacation. We coordinated a handoff to split dogsitting responsibility between her a couple friends who were helping me out while away on my trip . Paula walked and played games with her, was courteous enough it give her a wash after an adventurous walk. She sent ample photos and updates which I welcomed and greatly appreciated. I highly recommend her to look after your dog while away from home.”
“I highly recommend Lily to anyone looking for a sitter. She is very kind and friendly with dogs. Our dog is anxious in new places. Lily clearly understood her nature and took excellent care of her. This is the second time leaving our dog with her and our dog loves Lily. She sends daily updates with pictures which helped us be at ease and enjoy our vacation. Lily is the best and is one of my go to dog sitters.”
“Lavanya is super caring for our dog Cho Cho. She sent us photos and videos every day. Cho Cho looked really happy at her house playing with her dog Coco. Overall 5 star experience.”
“Awesome experience with Melody! She sent daily updates with pictures, and was very welcoming and sweet with Mochi. Highly recommended, and will definitely book again! Mochi was sad to leave. He was spoiled there.”
“Xin is an excellent dog sitter—loving, caring, quick to respond, and easygoing! My dog Sona fell in love with her from the very first night. Xin’s genuine love for dogs truly shines through, especially in the thoughtful photos and videos she sends. We were able to enjoy our trip without a single worry, knowing Sona was in such good hands. When we faced some unexpected delays due to traffic, Xin was very understanding and accommodating. On top of that, her spacious front yard gave Sona plenty of room to run and play happily. I highly recommend Xin to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. Thank you again, Xin!”
“Thank you Nancy and Touc for giving us a great first experience on Rover! They gave us peace of mind while we were away and were incredibly communicative. Would highly recommend and will book them again!”
“Nina and Tony took excellent care of our 5 year old golden doodle, Yogi. They are so communicative, sent frequent updates. Yogi looked very well cared for and happy when we picked him up. Would highly recommend Nina and Tony!!”

“Our kitty, Luna, is normally very shy and hides under the couch. She immediately trusted Siqin and loved playing with her. I’m so glad we have someone we can trust and who Luna is comfortable with. Thank you!!”
“Ashley is absolutely incredible. She typically checks in on our cat and cares for him while we’re away, and he absolutely adores her! And so do I, I couldn’t ask for a better cat sitter and I hope I never have to! My cat is very spoiled, he likes to be pet while he eats, which I told her, and she always pets him during mealtime. He also loves to cuddle, he’s a huge cuddle bug, and Ashley always lets him walk all over her until he finds the perfect spot to get cozy on her lap (& gets ready for more pets and snuggles), which she of course obliges. He’s also super active and requires ample play time- she plays with him each visit, switching up the toys when he gets bored, and cleaning up fallen feathers when our feather toy takes a beating. Where she goes above and beyond- our place gets cold in the winter and I told her to turn on the heater for him during her visits to keep the house comfortable for him, and she did. If the litter gets out of control and starts making its way out of the box- she vacuums it. Ashley also just recently did a couple of visits (walks) with my dog for the first time, and she was so great with her too! Ashley truly is amazing. She’s kind, trust worthy, responsible, and funny! I absolutely love reading her visit notes, she really captures their essence. Not only are they super thorough, but you can tell she really cares about them. Look no further- Ashley’s the real deal. Thanks Ashley! <3”
“Myat was an awesome pet sitter!! She cared for our babies like her own. She was punctual, responsive and overall very easy to work with. Definitely recommend engaging her services!”
“Veronica was an amazing carer for our cats while we were out of town! I was happy to receive plenty of updates and photos during the check-in. I can feel confident that my cats received plenty of love, attention, and playtime while I was away. Thanks, Veronica! 🐱🐈🐈⬛”
“Paula was absolutely wonderful! She was so warm and thoughtful every single visit. On top of taking great care of our cat, she brought in our packages for us, which was a huge help while we were away. She handled everything our kitty needed, took time to play and keep our cat company, and sent us videos so we could see how things were going. Thanks to Paula, we had total peace of mind the whole time. Highly recommend, and we’d love to book her again!”
“Su has been an excellent cat sitter! She stayed in our apartment with two kitties while my husband and I were on international trip for 10 days. The cats loved her and we could tell they felt so comfortable with Su right away. Su is very reliable and I felt that our cats were in great care. Would 100% recommend her and we hope to continue booking with Su in the future.”
“Chloe was professional, friendly, and competent. Provided timely updates, responded promptly, and demonstrated excellent judgment when travel issues left me unable to respond during one of her drop-ins. I recommend her for anyone looking for cat sitting services.”
“I reached out to Melissa to watch my two cats and she did a great job. She allowed the cats to have their space to explore and she did not try to force interactions with them. The communication was great too. I would definitely recommend Melissa again.”
“Paige is absolutely wonderful! We had never used a home-visiting pet sitter before, but Paige has made me wonder why we waited so long. She is diligent, communicative, timely, and responsive — everything you could hope for in a caregiver. Leaving my beloved elderly rabbit in someone else's hands is no small thing, but Paige gave me such peace of mind that I was actually able to relax and enjoy a trip away for the first time in years. From the very start, she came for a meet-and-greet, carefully reviewed our care instructions, and then followed our rabbit's routine to the letter. Every time she came by, she sent regular texts and photos to keep me updated and make sure she had everything right. That level of attention to detail is rare — and for a pet with specific needs, it makes all the difference. I can't recommend her highly enough.”
“Charlene has provided an excellent service. We needed some help with our kitty who had to get food and medication twice a day. Charlene took care of several drop-in visits, the kitty trusted her right away, food, medication, water and litter box were taken care of, AND she got some play time in as well! Getting information about each drop in visit and the photos allowed us to enjoy our time away without stress. Well done!”

“Hong was great and very accommodating with my kitties! She happily provided the kitties with their own room to separate them from her dogs upon our request, since they’ve never been around dogs before. She also regularly sent updates. I would totally leave my kitties in her care again!”
About: Although I have more experience with doggies, I fell in love with a cat that I got to house-sit, who lives with a doggie once. I never knew cats could be so cuddly! I'm now both a doggie and kitty lover. :) I will do my best to care for your beloved furry baby with lots of play, pets, and cuddles.

“It was Otto’s first time at Rover, and it was a wonderful experience. Shruti sent photos and videos throughout the day, which really put my mind at ease. Overall, we loved the experince and would definitely drop Otto off with Shruti again🤗 Thank you for taking such great care of Otto! P.S Loved Toto too🙂”
“Thank you Jie for taking good care of Archie ! Jie sent us photos and videos of Archie and was responsive to our messages. She is also very friendly. Archie enjoyed the stay and we’ll definitely rebook Jie in the future.”
“We had a great first Doggy Day Care experience with Hong. We received multiple videos and photos of Quentin looking comfortable, enjoying pets, and being with new doggy friends. She shared simple videos that helped ease my mind like Q drinking water when it was 90 degrees outside! Q seemed like his usual, happy self when we picked him up- not scared or uncomfortable. I think he had a great day! Pick up and drop off were simple and smooth. We will definitely book with Hong again.”
“I left my dog, Brazil, with Justin for a one-day daycare stay, and it was a great experience. Justin was very responsive, reliable, and took excellent care of Brazil. Highly recommend!”

“We had another wonderful experience! They were incredibly communicative, sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the stay, and made our dog feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. We will definitely continue to use them in the future and highly recommend them!”
“Thank you Su! Roxie had such a great time and was happy. Su takes lots of pictures and communicates well with dog owners. Definitely using Su for future dog sitting. Her place was perfect for a dog as well.”
About: I've been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember and truly enjoy spending time with them. Whether it's going for walks, playtime, feeding, or giving plenty of love and attention, I make sure every pup feels safe, happy, and comfortable. I also have experience with basic obedience training and understand the importance of keeping a consistent routine. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member. I'll treat your dog like one of my own and provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. If dogs could leave reviews, mine would definitely give me **two paws up!** 🐾 As a full-time stay-at-home mom, I’m able to provide plenty of attention, care, and quality time for your pup throughout the day. Your dog will receive lots of love, supervision, playtime, and cuddles in a calm and caring home environment. I also have a very flexible schedule and am generally available any day of the week for boarding or daycare. I have a very friendly and patient golden retriever of my own that will keep your dog company. We live right near a wonderful park which would be perfect to walk your dog and let him/her play. Your dog will be super pampered with lots of love and cuddles.
“I feel very lucky to have found and engaged Ram and Jaya for doggie day care. They are nice people with big hearts for dogs: it was clear throughout our interactions that they understood and focused on my senior dog's needs. They took the time to get to know her, and made sure that they could provide a safe and comfortable place for her to stay while I attended an event. Their home is uncluttered with a lovely backyard; plenty of space for doggie movements. Communication was prompt, clear and helpful. I hope to contact them again for future needs.”
“Rose was excellent! Super flexible and took good care of my 7 month old puppy. We did a meet and greet prior to her babysitting and when I brought my puppy back for sitting, he was super excited to see her! It looked like he had a blast from day care & when he came home he was so worn out lol. I’m very happy she was kind to him and kept him stimulated and entertained! Would definitely book again”
About: I own a single family house with nice fenced yard and we have a friendly golden retriever dog and he’s name is Kevin. I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets, I would love to take care of you pets as my own. I am housewife so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets during his or her stay. Plenty of play time and walking time. I have a fenced yard and a fur baby to stay company with yours, safe living area and parks trails near our house. Quiet and pretty
“Lavanya did an excellent job communicating and taking great care of Sheru. She sent regular updates throughout his stay, which gave me peace of mind. Sheru was calm, happy, and clearly well cared for when I picked him up. Her dog, Coco, is also very friendly and was a wonderful companion for Sheru. I would definitely recommend Lavanya!”
About: I am a dog mom since 2020 when we got our first dog, a golden doodle and since then I have been around him and his friends. Dogs keep me energetic and lively. I talk to them and treat them like babies. My motherly instincts for dogs are no different from taking care of a human being. Since I got my baby, I have researched and have been enhancing my knowledge to take better care of him each day. Whenever I get an opportunity to stay around any dog, it makes me feel very blissful. I have many dogs in my family and friends groups. I keep my house very clean so they do not eat anything from ground. Even for emergencies, I have made an emergency kit which is ready with Charcoal, ear wipes, tweezer and 3% hydrogen peroxide (to induce vomiting) in case they ingest something. I know how to handle normal doggy issues that could occur and even how to handle an emergency situation. If needed I can go to vet immediately. For info, nearest vet to my place is 1 mile ( Golden paws Vet clinic) and nearest emergency (Beacon Veterinary specialist) is 6.5 miles. Your pets safety will be my TOP priority. I am full time at home and will have dedicated time to spend with dogs. I play with them, do stimulating activities as I do with my dog. Your dog will be no different to my own. I have a fenced yard and a long side yard where I play fetch 2-3 times with my dog. I am very creative with playing activities. I am well versed in case of emergency as I keep myself well informed with the knowledge needed to keep pets safe. Important note : Please make sure your dog is up to date with shots and rabies vaccine. Provide a proof you first bring in your dog for day care or boarding.

“She was always on time, with a perfect attitude and providing quality walking time for my dogs. 100% recommended, they had an amazing time and came back to the apt super tired, meaning they walked a lot! Thanks for taking care of the walking process with Sola/Chanel!”
About: Hi, I am Hong, you can call me Vicky too. For 18 wonderful years, my life revolved around my sweet Mini Schnauzer. From the playful puppy days to the gentle senior years, I've lovingly navigated every stage. I understand the unique needs of both growing puppies and older dogs—whether it’s extra cuddles, gentle walks, or medication management. I’ve been around dogs for over 20 years—starting in my student days, when I would help friends care for their dogs during the holidays. It’s something I’ve always truly enjoyed. Now, I work from home full-time, which means your pet will rarely be alone! Your furry family member will be treated with kindness, respect, and the same deep devotion I’ve always given. They'll enjoy constant companionship, frequent potty breaks, and all the cuddles they desire. 📢Why Choose Me? ⭐️ Constant Companionship: As someone who works from home, I provide near-constant supervision and company, ensuring your pet feels secure and never lonely. ⭐️ Proven Patience & Love: Having raised a dog to 18 years, I have a deep well of patience and understanding for every personality and need. ⭐️Seamless Communication: I am fluent in both English and Chinese（中文）, ensuring clear, easy, and worry-free updates for you. ⭐️ A Ready, Dog-Safe Home: My home is quiet, safe, and ready to welcome your pet without the stress of other resident animals. My work situation is great because I'm home-based and have a lot of flexibility with my time. I have the freedom to provide attention and potty breaks throughout the day. Your pet's safety is my top priority. In my home, I maintain a pet-proofed, clean, and hazard-free environment. I am meticulous about following all owner instructions for feeding, medication, and routines to provide a stress-free experience. A Note on Health & Safety (For All Our Well-being): To ensure a safe and healthy environment for everyone, I kindly require that all pets in my care are fully vaccinated and on a proven flea/tick prevention program. As my canine guests are welcome on my furniture and even to snuggle in my bed, this is essential for everyone's comfort and health. My goal is to provide a "home away from home" where your pet feels loved, secure, and happily exhausted.
“Paige was very responsive & accommodating with our last minute request, and took great care of our dog Kiara during her walk. She was very gentle with Kiara, & it was evident that Kiara loved her walk. Will definitely be booking Paige again!”
About: Hi there! My name is Eric and I would be happy to take care of your pet. I grew up the youngest of 4 kids and we always had animals around. We had Dogs, Cats, Rabbits, Chickens, my sister wanted a goat but my dad said thats too much. Being the youngest it was usually my responsibility to make sure the pets were fed and taken care of. I know going away can be hard not only for the pet but for the owner as well and I will always strive to make sure both are reassured and comfortable. Currently, I am between jobs, so I am completely free to assist morning or night, weekday or weekend. I am very flexible with my hours at this point so I can stay with your loved pets if needed. I would need to take care of your pets in the client's home as my wife has a pet allergy. I bring a very warm and friendly energy and would want to meet the pet before I start working with them to ensure we are comfortable with each other.
“Fantastic pet sitter!! have been on the hunt for someone who can handle and feel comfortable with our reactive boy. He’s a total lovebug inside, but outside gets triggered by other animals. Lexa was great with him and put my anxiety at ease. Thank you so much!”

About: I’m not just a pet sitter — I’m a true dog lover who understands the patience, care, and consistency it takes to make pups feel happy and secure. I’ve raised my own puppy from the start, learning firsthand how to train basic obedience commands and encourage good habits through positive reinforcement.

I treat every dog I care for like my own, making sure they feel loved, safe, and well-exercised. You can count on me to be friendly, reliable, and trustworthy while helping your dog stay active, happy, and well-behaved! I am currently working with my company WFH and have flexibility of making my own hours. Weekends Tuesday, Thursday and Friday work best.

I live very close to the beach 3 minutes walk and large grass areas around for pet to be relived. I have a large crate at home just in case clients need and dont need to get their own. I will be able to dog on regular potty breaks. Walk your dog separately so they can get all the attention they deserve while dog walks.

“Charlene is an awesome dog sitter!!! She attentive and loving. She took the time to meet with Riel and I before dog sitting Riel, and asked a lot of questions to try to understand my dog. Riel loves her. Seeing the pictures of Riel while I was on a trip gives me a peace of mind! Thank you Charlene!”
About: I have a beautiful cat, Charlie. I learned a lot about cats from him. I’ve also had the privilege of working with Much Love (dog foster), NKLA (No-Kill Los Angeles, dog care taker) and the Marin Humane Society ( cat care taker), where I gained hands-on experience caring for pets of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. More recently I fostered Timon, a handsome husky, and found a furrever home for him. I love pets and have lots of patience. I’m currently working from home. And my working schedule is flexible. I can work around the schedule to fit pet care in. So I am available most time of the week. I have a fenced yard. My cat Charlie, he just doesn’t care. He is ok with other cats and dogs, based on past experience. No children at home.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 6. I love every minutes spent with them. I guess that something written in gene. I am currently studying at home all day long. I do have two small kids but they both go to school at daytime. They both love animals like me do. I have a medium-sized lab and a chihuahua. Both of them are neutered and super friendly to other dogs. They are always expecting new friends to visit them.
About: Dogs make my heart happy, and so do cats! :) I loved the times that I got to spend and care for my beloved Moki who went to heaven in Dec. 2023. I miss her every single day. I work as a substitute teacher and painting instructor, which provides me with a flexible schedule to pursue my hobbies and interests. One of my passions in life is dogs. I volunteer with Pets in Need by participating in their Doggy Day Out program. Back in high school, I was voted Most Dependable, and I believe I still hold that title dear to heart whether it's with family, work, friends, and clients. I would do my best to make sure your furry best friend gets lots of pets, play, and potty breaks. :) My schedule is pretty flexible since I work as a substitute teacher and painting instructor. I can easily block off dates so that I can be available. In the summer time, I also work as a summer camp art counselor. I have updated my schedule with the dates that I’m available. :) I know what it's like to have someone reliable and trustworthy to care for your furry best friend. I know that you can depend on me because I will love and care for your pet as if she/he's my own.

“Charlie had a blast with Selina and was well cared for. He really loves her and during pick up, he wanted to go back into her place. He had plenty of exercise and play time, which is important to his well being. Thank you Selina.”
“My 5-month-old puppy had a fantastic time during her stay. She made a lot of puppy friends, and Marina & Anwar treated her with excellent care, treating her like one of their own. As it was our first time leaving our puppy, they made us feel at ease by consistently sharing pictures and videos. I plan on booking with them again and would suggest their services to others.”
“We couldn’t have asked for better care for Roxy and Koda! Communication was always clear, and we were kept in the loop the entire time about how they were doing, which gave us so much peace of mind. They were incredibly kind, loving, and took such great care of our pups. Roxy and Koda were so comfortable and happy that they didn’t even want to leave! We would absolutely trust them with our dogs again.”
“Hong was a great communicator throughout my Tofu’s stay. She sent me daily photos and videos, which gave me peace of mind and let me see how Tofu was doing. I really appreciated the regular updates and care she provided. I would definitely recommend Hong and would be happy to have her watch Tofu again!”
“We had such a great experience with Cecilia and Ethan! I was honestly a little nervous at first since I had never used Rover before or had strangers care for our dogs, especially since one of our dogs requires daily medication. We decided to do an initial meet-and-greet beforehand so we could get to know Cecilia and Ethan and make sure they were the right fit, and I’m so glad we did! I shared a detailed care guide with them, and they followed everything to a tee. They were incredibly responsible, attentive, and responsive throughout our entire trip. They also went above and beyond by taking our dogs out to the lake and even to Monterey! We received lots of photos and videos every day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs basically had a little vacation of their own! 🥹 It’s very clear that Cecilia and Ethan genuinely care about dogs and put a lot of thought into making sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will absolutely be going with Cecilia and Ethan again the next time we need someone to care for our dogs. Highly recommend them! 🐶♥️”
“I am happy we found Xiaokun. Our foster fail puppy who is a 6 month German Shepherd went to him for multiple doggy day care days and one boarding visit. She came back each time happy and tired. I really appreciated how Xiaokun followed our instructions and had great communication, especially when we boarded our pup shortly after her spay surgery. Also loved that on the doggy day care days he took our pup on awesome hikes/walks and sent pics for our peace of mind. Xiaokun has great calm energy and that definitely translated to making my pups stay a great one. Definitely recommend!”
“Shruti and Gautham are very kind and are very accommodating dog sitters. They already have a large breed at theirs so it was very relieving and didn’t have a worry much about running them through big dog details. We are very glad we found them on rover and although Leo is nervous at new place he did great for the first time with them and I am pretty sure he’ll only get comfortable and be excited to go to them in no time. Thanks for taking care of Leo guys”
“Our 7 year old Shepherd mix gets lots of long walks and cuddles when Judi takes care of her. She has some separation anxiety but seems calm and content when we leave her with Judi. Definitely recommend Judi as a dog sitter 😊”
“We had a very good experience with Diana! She took excellent care of Juno, followed all our instructions carefully, and kept us updated by sending photos. We really appreciated how attentive and caring she was. We will definitely book with Diana again. Thank you so much, Diana!”
“I highly recommend Lily to anyone looking for a sitter. She is very kind and friendly with dogs. Our dog is anxious in new places. Lily clearly understood her nature and took excellent care of her. This is the second time leaving our dog with her and our dog loves Lily. She sends daily updates with pictures which helped us be at ease and enjoy our vacation. Lily is the best and is one of my go to dog sitters.”
“Ken has been a very cool and reliable pet caretaker. Right from the initial connection to meet/greet to intake on us as a new client, the entire process working with him was clear and smooth. Ken also sent snaps daily (optional based on request) which was really nice. Most importantly our pet was happy during his stay and so were we. I'd consider Ken for future needs and would recommend him for others who may be looking for onboarding or similar needs.”
“Dana & her family were wonderful with Bentley, Dana made sure that Bentley felt very comfortable throughout his stay. Bentley enjoyed staying with Dana and her family, he enjoyed playing in the large backyard. Dana sent us pictures of Bentley periodically and kept us well updated, she also advised us when Bentley got fussy eating his dinner, etc she eventually was able to coax him to finish his dinner. We'd love to book with her in the future as well. :)”
“Divya and Shane were amazing with Baxter and their dog Yukon is a really sweet dog too. Divya and Shane were flexible and accommodating with the pickup and dropoff times. They took good care of Baxter, enquired about his schedule and made sure Baxter is comfortable in their home. Yukon tried to get Baxter to play but Baxter, being older now, did not want to play and Yukon was content with being chill and giving him space. Baxter usually is not comfortable in other’s homes but he had a good time with Divya and Shane. Would highly recommend Divya and Shane and will be definitely be leaving Baxter with them again.”
“Xin is an excellent dog sitter—loving, caring, quick to respond, and easygoing! My dog Sona fell in love with her from the very first night. Xin’s genuine love for dogs truly shines through, especially in the thoughtful photos and videos she sends. We were able to enjoy our trip without a single worry, knowing Sona was in such good hands. When we faced some unexpected delays due to traffic, Xin was very understanding and accommodating. On top of that, her spacious front yard gave Sona plenty of room to run and play happily. I highly recommend Xin to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. Thank you again, Xin!”
“Nina and Tony took excellent care of our 5 year old golden doodle, Yogi. They are so communicative, sent frequent updates. Yogi looked very well cared for and happy when we picked him up. Would highly recommend Nina and Tony!!”
About: Here to help, here to care, prefer other calm non shedding 25-50lb well behaved and calm dogs My intention is to offer reasonably priced care to others's dogs who worry about their pet like their own child - i feel this way about my own pet so wanted to jump in and help some one else out who has similar dogs like mine (to allow a suitable mutual match, i have strong preferences for calmer, 4-5+ aged 25-50lb female spayed dogs who will get along well with my dog and don't require excessive entertaining and minimum care. I would also need to be able to keep them contained in a large room with a pet gate / room divider at time or in a crate if they are used to it if i step away for a hour or two (at most 4 hrs). I will have cameras and bark alerting systems to monitor their wellbeing. I currently work from home 2-3 days of the week and I can be home on weekends by appointment I would host dogs who can be left home for a couple hours at a time in a contained crate / playpen to run my errands or small appointments on the weekend and weekday evenings Fenced yard, caring kid and friendly doodle at host's home, access to walking trails 2-3x a day, love spending time outdoors with dogs and playing fetch or tug rope with them
