“This was Rosie’s first time being boarded and she seemed very happy. Kelsey’s family was so good to her and I loved getting pictures of her, I have already booked another stay and now know I can plan some trips and leave Rosie in a loving home!”

“Nicole was awesome and Bailey had a fantastic time. She treated Bailey like she was her own dog and I couldn’t ask for more sent many pictures and updates and just love the fact that I have somebody that I can go to if I have to go out of town I highly recommend her.”

“I am very pleased with Kandra. Holly fit in with Kandra's golden retrievers. A great environment for my golden. I will be using her again. Unfortunately, she's not available for my next trip in Nov.”


“My dog is elderly and mostly deaf. When we travel we have always had someone he's familiar with take care of him. This time we didn't have that option. Susan and Ervin took very good care of Riley. I appreciated the texted updates about how he was doing and the attached photos. I won't hesitate to have Riley in their care when the need arises.”

“Cedric was awesome and very attentive to my dog Pinchy. His corgi instantly became besties with my dog. We can’t wait to use him again when we go out of town. Thanks a bunch!”

“I was nervous having to use this app for my dogs to stay the night at a strangers house. My original plans fell through. Hailey not only accommodated my last minute plans so I could still go on my trip, I completely messed up the booking and she had no clue problems accommodating this as well. She gave me updates throughout the visit. I was so happy to hear my dogs got along great with her dogs and kids. She used her best judgement on when she introduced the dogs which all I wanted was for her to be comfortable. I did tell her my dogs go to daycare 4 days a week so I know my dogs are well behaved but you still never know. I will definitely be using her again. She already said she would be happy to watch my dogs for my vacation in July.”


“Melissa was very patient and flexible with my dog and with our booking. I had to shorten the time which she was understandable about. I also learned my dog was a bit out of sorts on his first night and she was patient with him and sent lots of reassuring pictures and videos😊”

“Martha was awesome! Very attentive and caring. Kept in contact to let me know how Angel was adjusting. And sent pictures which reassured me that she is definitely an animal lover 🩷🩷🩷”

“This is the second time Kazue has watched our dog Coco and takes excellent care of her. Coco could be a handful because she loves being held and around people constantly. Kazue updates us with photo and video and we know Coco is well taken care of. Thank you Kazue for the excellent care and peace of mind.”

“While I was away, Sade had excellent communication with me the entire time. She sent pictures and updates regularly, which I really appreciated. She also followed the meal plan I provided perfectly and took great care of Peanut. I would definitely highly recommend Sade to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter, and I will absolutely be using her again in the very near future!”

“Yuanyuan was wonderful about sending me pics and videos of my dog while he stayed with her. She was also flexible and agreed to keep him a few extra days when we had a family emergency. I will absolutely be booking with her in the future!”

“Jennifer and family were great!! I think they went above and beyond to care for our dog Chewie while we were out of town for Thanksgiving. I would highly recommend her and will book her again when needed!! Thanks Jennifer💕”

“Our dogs stay with Achara went so smoothly! It was their first time overnight and a long extended stay so I was initially nervous to leave them for that long, but Achara’s communication and care were excellent all the way through! Our young one looked to be having so much fun running and playing with Achara’s puppy and our older one looked very happy and comfortable doing her own thing 🥰 We were overall very happy and not nervous once we saw how happy the dogs were in the daily photos and videos that were sent to us. Thanks Achara for a great experience! We’ll definitely be back again!”

“I can’t imagine that there could be a more genuinely caring and involved care giver for our dog. Thank you Erin, for always making it relaxing to be away, as we know that our Pepper, is with his other family. You are the best, and our family appreciates you. The McBee’s”

“Geisel sent multiple pictures and videos each day. She seemed to have a true affection for my dog Ollie and I was very comfortable that Ollie was well cared for”

“My "Grandog", Jake, was happy and comfortable with Jackie and her family. I have never left him for that long, but I was sure he would be content in Jackie's home. She took him for a walk and he enjoyed playing with the children too. I definitely can recommend her.”

“We needed a last minute drop-in sitter for our two cats for a day over the Xmas holiday. Adrienne was prompt in her communication and thorough in her care for our kitties! Given the time crunch we weren’t able to do a formal meet and greet up front but we felt confident knowing our kitties were in good hands with Adrienne, even though we hadn’t met her ourselves!”

About: My # 1 goal is to make sure your pet is 100% satisfied, confident, and safe with me. I'm well equipped, you name it I'll bring the necessities I need to get the job done. I love a good brisk walk with dogs and also do cat poop removal and feeding if desired.

About: Been on rover for quite some time now 2018, I am now located in the Plumas Lake area. I am a CPDT but I’m shifting gears slightly and going to school for vet med to be a RVT. Your pets will be in good hands between myself and my wife who has 10 years as RVT. Coffee, let the pups out to potty, prep breakfast, head out for morning gym or appointment. Return by 12.

I am able to create different zone for the dog to be in if there is any need for separation. I also have multiple buildings in which to house them and a very large private back yard for them to run.

About: I have been a devoted cat parent and advocate for over 16 years. Currently, I am a proud mom to two Tabbies who are my world, but my experience goes far beyond my own home. Over the years, I have personally owned four cats and have successfully rescued and rehomed over 20 street cats. My history with rescue work means I am highly comfortable with all feline personalities, including those who are shy, anxious, or need a patient hand. Whether it's playtime, feeding, or just providing a calm presence, I treat every cat with the same love and attention I give my own. I understand the nuances of cat behavior and am committed to keeping your feline friends safe, happy, and well-cared for while you’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of any kind of animal you can name. I’ve worked/volunteered at recuses, breeders, vet offices, and my family has raised and raced standardbred horses since I was born. I also pet/house sit often. I know cpr/first aid for both dogs, cats, and small animals. I have also been approved for my 501(c)3 non for profit animal rescue license and I’m working towards starting my own animal rescue center. I work part time and I’m going to school to become a phlebotomist. I currently care for my rabbit, cat, 20 chickens, three peacocks, great dane, and five horses. So hard work is not new to me! As someone who leaves things better than I find them, your house, pets, and privacy are are my number one priority. You won’t have to worry about the safety of your pets, state of your home, or any medication/special needs your pet(s) may have or need!

About: I’ve spent many years caring for cats of all personalities, from shy kittens to independent seniors. I love spending time with cats and giving them the preferred attention. What sets me apart from others my attention to the little things that make them comfortable. I’m experienced in administering medications when needed, and I don’t mind getting my hands dirty to keep litter boxes fresh and clean because I know how important a clean space is for a happy cat. I’m patient, observant, and always ready to give each cat the individual care and affection they deserve.

About: I think that cats just might be humans in a little furry disguises. Cats talk to you all day long with their body language. Clearly they will let you know what they want, when they want it and also what they don’t want. Ever have a cat look at you and walk away, L O L. Boss move.

About: I’ve always loved cats and they hold a special place in my heart. Right now I have a black cat Luna who is a menace but I love her anyway. My family has always had at least one cat running around the house and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
About: I have been around all different types of animals my whole life. I have bottle feed newborn puppies and nursed them to adults. I also have a senior dog myself whom is my best friend. Getting to work with a different variety of animals is what I think sets me apart. I am available in the mornings everyday from 6 am to 7:30 am and in the afternoons everyday starting from 3:30-6pm. Weekends I am fully available. I have grown up with different sized dogs, my first two dogs have always been inside dogs and my two big dogs have always been outside dogs. They are walked and played with daily, and are feed twice a day. For a clients home I will follow every request the client has for there pet without question.

Having used Misty’s services we highly believe she is a person you can trust your pets with, and we highly recommend her. Thank you so much Misty!”

“I’ve booked with her three times now. This time - for drop-ins with my cat, and she has been consistently great. She always makes sure his litter box is clean, his food and water are full, and she takes the time to play with him, which I really appreciate. It gives me peace of mind knowing he’s in good hands while I’m away. She does a wonderful job, and I’ll definitely keep booking with her!”


“Rebekka was on time, took care to check on all animals and gave them each some love. She communicated any issues clearly and sought out the best remedy for issues with broken dog cable, etc. Super responsible. We will definitely use her again.”

I’m open any day of the week at any times and I’m able to come house sit. Most animals are comfortable in their own home so whatever works best for them. I will ensure a safe environment for your pet whether that be crating your pet, keeping a close eye on your pet, and providing them play as a healthy distraction as you arrive.
About: I have loved animals my whole life. And taken care of my own and others for half of my life. I love any animal I care for like my own! I have pet sat for and walked all kinds of animals from cats, dogs, chicken, and even a squirrel. My boyfriend also has a tortoise that I help care for when I go over to his place. This gives me a large range in my experience with different animals. From learning to spot the signes of when they start to feel the need to get aggressive with each other giving me the ability to stop a fight, to giving them love and attention which is something all animals deserve! If taking care of your baby(pet) is something you would allow me to do, I will love, care for, and protect them as if they were my own because it is my goal to insure that both the pet and their owner feels the pet is being well cared for! I can work any day of the week, other than some weekends. And would greatly appreciate a days notice beforehand to prepare and create a plan. I can walk, feed, provide water, pet, play games such as fetch or different games with cats including the Lazer pointer. I will break up any possible alterations by removing the pet from that situation. I can also brush them for dematting their hair or just regular maintenance, and pet the animal to calm them down and insure they feel loved. My gole to insure both the pet and owner feels their baby is well cared for.
“I couldn't be more pleased with Benjamin's exceptional dog walking services. He walked my beloved dog, Ty Chi, for a week twice a day, and the care and attention he provides are truly outstanding. From the very first walk, it was evident that Benjamin has a genuine passion for dogs. He takes the time to understand my dog's unique needs and personality, ensuring that Ty Chi always feels comfortable and happy. Benjamin's care for details is remarkable—he meticulously follows all instructions regarding Ty Chi's specific needs. He even takes the time to update me with photos and notes after each walk, which I greatly appreciate. Punctuality is another one of Benjamin's strengths. He has never missed a scheduled walk and always arrives on time, ready to give Ty Chi the exercise and attention he needs. This reliability gives me peace of mind, knowing that my dog is in capable and trustworthy hands. What truly sets Benjamin apart is his attention to detail. He notices the little things that make a big difference, such as adjusting the leash to ensure Ty Chi's comfort to make the walk even more enjoyable. His thoughtful approach shows how much he cares about the dogs he walks. I highly recommend Benjamin to anyone in need of a dog walker who is not only professional and reliable but also genuinely cares about the well-being of your pet. Ty Chi and I are incredibly grateful for Benjamin's outstanding service and look forward to many more walks together!”

“I was nervous having to use this app for my dogs to stay the night at a strangers house. My original plans fell through. Hailey not only accommodated my last minute plans so I could still go on my trip, I completely messed up the booking and she had no clue problems accommodating this as well. She gave me updates throughout the visit. I was so happy to hear my dogs got along great with her dogs and kids. She used her best judgement on when she introduced the dogs which all I wanted was for her to be comfortable. I did tell her my dogs go to daycare 4 days a week so I know my dogs are well behaved but you still never know. I will definitely be using her again. She already said she would be happy to watch my dogs for my vacation in July.”

“While I was away, Sade had excellent communication with me the entire time. She sent pictures and updates regularly, which I really appreciated. She also followed the meal plan I provided perfectly and took great care of Peanut. I would definitely highly recommend Sade to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter, and I will absolutely be using her again in the very near future!”

“Our dogs stay with Achara went so smoothly! It was their first time overnight and a long extended stay so I was initially nervous to leave them for that long, but Achara’s communication and care were excellent all the way through! Our young one looked to be having so much fun running and playing with Achara’s puppy and our older one looked very happy and comfortable doing her own thing 🥰 We were overall very happy and not nervous once we saw how happy the dogs were in the daily photos and videos that were sent to us. Thanks Achara for a great experience! We’ll definitely be back again!”

“Geisel sent multiple pictures and videos each day. She seemed to have a true affection for my dog Ollie and I was very comfortable that Ollie was well cared for”

I am very glad to have found a home environment for my dogs to stay in when they cannot be at my home.”

“Kayla was very communicative throughout the entire stay. It was our first time leaving our dog, and she immediately put us at ease when we met her. I loved receiving updates and pictures of him while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such great hands. I would definitely trust her with our pup again!”


“Grant’s dog boarding is great! Our dog loved her stay and was so happy and tired when we picked her up after a weeklong stay. Grant sent many pics/videos so we always had updates. She enjoyed getting to play and explore outside during the days, and then get spoiled and sleep in the house at night. We will definitely be using Grant again!”
