“Alicia and Christian are the perfect couple to watch our boy Tanner. They provided him with the best care routine as he needed and communicated with us everyday at a level that was very comfortable. We couldn’t have asked for a better duo to care for Tanner in his senior years so we will definitely book with them again if available. We highly recommend them! Thanks so much Alicia and Christian! Happy New Year!”

“Erica was amazing! My dog is afraid of strangers and he was having a blast at her place on the first day. I was worried he wouldn't want to come home he had such a good time. She sent me pictures every day and kept me updated on what he was doing. I'll definitely come back, I was never worried about Wilson the whole time.”
“Rosie enjoyed her stay with Sandra and sweetheart, Mr. Max! Rosie was well taken care of and Sandra did a phenomenal job administering lmedications, which is a challenge at times. Would highly recommend her to anyone who needs pet care!”
“Eman and Robbie is the best Rover Host ever! I cannot thank them enough for accepting my request at a very very last minute notice. They are so friendly and lovable to my fur baby. I would recommend anyone that is close to their area to have them as your dog sitter. If I can give them 10 stars, I would. I wish that we live closer so they can be our Rover host regularly.”
“Pepper had so much fun. This sitter updated me constantly and sent me pictures throughout the days. My dog had so much fun and felt so comfortable with this sitter. I didn’t have to worry about the safety or wellbeing of my pepper with Gabi. Gabi was super quick to respond to me and asked permission before taking my pepper anywhere. I will absolutely use Gabi again and recommend her to anyone that’s using Rover! This was my first time using rover and this experience really set the tone for the app! Amazing dog sitter!!”

“We just moved here from out of state and we left behind an amazing Rover sitter, so we were a little nervous trying a new one here but we really feel like we struck gold with Candace and Tim! They took such good care of our pups and sent us picture updates that I loved! You won’t regret leaving your fur babies with them :) We will certainly be using them again!”
“Natalie is an amazing dog sitter. She cared for our dog, Sadie, with lots of love, and the best of care. Sadie loved the toys that Natalie provided her and outdoor play time with Dottie and the family. Thank you Natalie and family the happy time that Sadie experienced. With Love, Joyce Garcia”
About: I have puppy/dog training expertise - I’m adept at teaching basic commands and house-training, ensuring your little furball grows into a well-behaved companion. I engage pets with stimulating activities and games to keep them mentally and physically active. I currently work from home around 4 days a week, so I have plenty of time to play with your furry pets during the day. I also have a 2 year old 11 pound Havanese that loves to play with other puppies/dogs. I have a fenced yard where your furry companion can play with our little Banali. I also will sit outside with the dogs during the course of the day.

“Samantha did a wonderful job taking care of my kitties. Her communication was top notch and she shared photos every day. The best reflection of how awesome she is was the fact that Spitfire took to her and came out daily. She will be my first call next time I need a cat sitter!”
“Linda is wonderful. She did drop-in pet sitting for our cat, Annabelle. Linda was promptly on time twice a day, and sent us a report with lots of pictures after every visit. And it was clear from the pics that Annabelle had taken to Linda right away. We will definitely ask Linda to help out in the future.”
“Sienna was absolutely wonderful with our dog—kind, attentive, and clearly experienced. Communication was excellent throughout, and she was incredibly flexible with some minor changes to the schedule, which we really appreciated since my husband is in the military and had to leave on short notice. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and definitely recommend her!”
“Sammy is great! She treated my kitty well and provided pictures as well as a video. It really gave me the piece of mind and comfort I sought while I was away. She did an excellent job following instructions and worked around my needs. She is super sweet and caring. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking care for their pet. Thank you!!”
About: I’ve been pet-sitting for my neighbor for more than 18 years and I even have experience raising puppies for Canine Companions for Independence. I was also a dog walker for a brief time as well. I’m currently looking for a job, so I will have plenty of time to dog/cat-sit in the afternoons and some late mornings. I’m hoping this will lead to some good opportunities. I have a fenced good-sized backyard with a dog-run and a big hill to run around. I don’t have a crate at the moment, so you will have to provide your own.
“Paula stopped in to check on my kitty and did a great job playing with her and keeping her company! She gave us thorough updates with photos and I could tell my cat had fun during their visit. Thanks Paula!”
“Doris did a great job taking care of my kity while we were away. She was kind and respectful, and cleaned up after her when needed. I will definitely use her again in the future.”

About: I’ve taken care of animals all my life. Grew up in the country enjoying the luxury of having many fur babies. I also spent many years volunteering at a humane society, learning about the different dog breeds. I specialized in the rescue cases. I know how hard it is to juggle work, travel, etc. when you have pets. I want to help ease your worries. I’m here to help! I recently just relocated from Hawaii so my schedule is very open while I look for full time employment. I’m here for whatever your pet needs. I will follow your pet care instructions that best suits your fur baby. Each pet is different in their needs and wants so I will customize for each.
“Alex did a wonderful job watching my kittens for the week while I was out of town! I got lots of photos and updates and I had the most relaxing stress free trip knowing they were taken care of!!”
“Josh was a life saver for us! We just moved to California and needed someone we could trust to watch our cat and he was exactly what we were looking for! He was so helpful to us, allowing us to still be able to travel and do what we need to do and know that our cat has a friend to look after them while we are away. So grateful for Josh, he is a must book, you won’t regret it!”
“Sean has been amazing with my baby girl! It gives me so much comfort knowing she’s in great care while I’m away. Since my girl is a strong dog I have never felt comfortable with anyone taking her for walks, but with Sean I have total confidence and she is a much more relaxed dog when I come home:)”
About: Hello there! I am a dog lover, who works from home with a fenced in yard for your dog to play! A typical day at my house will consist of play time indoors/outdoors, several outdoor breaks to play, have fun, expend energy & go to the bathroom, snuggling, and a walk or run every 2-4hours. Some of the breeds I'm very well acquainted with and commonly care for are: doodles, maltese, maltipoo, shih tzu, schnauzers, terrier, cockapoo, bichon, havanese ... the list goes on! I love all dogs! :) I am able to take one client at a time (depending on your preference/dogs needs). I am able to provide free pick-up & drop offs up to 40 miles away for 3+ night stays. Please feel free to message me with any questions or inquiries! I look forward to hearing from you! Thank you! A typical day at my house will consist of play time indoors/outdoors, several outdoor breaks to play, have fun, expend energy & go to the bathroom, snuggling, and a walk or run every 2-4hours. *I prefer to host low-medium shedding dogs in my home due to allergies. I work from home, so I have the flexibility, freedom and time to give plenty of love and attention to your pup! I am an active person and love to be out in nature, so I have fun taking the dogs out for walks, as I know they love them too! I am very proactive and conscientious about pet safety, whether we are indoors or outdoors. I am always outside with dogs, and will never leave them unattended.
About: I'm a stay at home mom of 3 kids. I love being around animals and so do my kids. We have 4 dogs ( two huskies and 2 yorkies) of our own and can't get enough of them. We love to go on walks and right now we go on about 3-4 walks a day. I would love the opportunity to walk your dogs and help them get some exercise or be played with. Ideally I would like to take my kids with me on the walks/play sessions so I would prefer dogs that are friendly with children. I live in a neighborhood with great trails and plenty of grass. My kids would love if your dogs liked to play fetch since ours don't. We can do drop ins as well!
About: I grew up with cats as a part of my family, and now I have 3 cat babies of my own! I love cats, and enjoy spending time with them. I have experience administering medication (pills and oral liquid), and am very good at reading behavior.

“What a very nice booking! Great experience all the way around. I felt like I've known Eman and Robby for some time after just meeting the both of them. They are extremely nice and very caring sitters for my dog, Sasha. Thank you so much for all the photos and the video to keep in touch through the day. Sasha enjoyed her stay!”
“Mal has had a confusing time because his alpha, my husband, died unexpectedly last week, and he's had to move house on top of it. He is a rescue and already had separation anxiety. But he had a great time with Sandra, playing with other dogs, with plenty of room to run around, and was he was happy and not insecure when I picked him up both days. Thank you Sandra! Thank you for loving animals!”
“Alicia and Christian were great with Rocco. You could tell he had a nice time. They were amazing at accommodating a relatively last minute booking request so super grateful. They were awesome! 🤍”
“Nadia was very helpful watching our two dogs. Great updates and pictures and you can tell she loves dogs. We've already dropped them off twice and I'm sure they'll get to hang out with Auntie Nadia again soon!”
“Nazgul and her family were exceptionally warm and attentive with Midnight. From the moment we arrived, I could tell she would settle in quickly and feel at home. Their updates and photos were thoughtful and reassuring, and it was clear she was genuinely cared for. I highly recommend Nazgul and her family to anyone seeking a safe, loving environment for their pet.”
“Sarah is amazing and has an excellent knowledge of animal behavior which makes her especially good with my puppy as she is learning how to be a well behaved dog and these early months are so important for her to learn to be the best dog she can be. I love that Clairee has supervised play with Sarah’s other dogs as socializing is so important. I can’t express enough how happy I am to have found Sarah. It’s like striking gold. My Clairee comes home very happy and content. Sarah sends me updates throughout the day with pictures and notes of how the day is going and I get a report of her elimination and intake. I highly recommend Sarah, she is superb!!”
“I don't think I've ever seen my dog so calm and happy before, after being at a doggy daycare! He obviously got all the exercise he needed. And all the play with other dogs. And all the dog company. And all the human company and attention he could want : ) Thank you so so much Becca!”
“Lori was very friendly & had great communication. My pup Jewels had a good time playing with her two sweet dogs & had plenty space for Jewels to play. She sent me photos & videos of her having a good time. Lori was very accommodating to my dog & I would highly recommend! Thanks again Lori for taking good care of my pup. 🙂”

“Shannon to the rescue and always takes good care of Sandy!! Would highly recommend Shannon for all your pet sitting needs. She’s caring and responds right away to any questions you may have.”
About: As a USMC veteran and lifelong dog owner, I know what it means to be there for your buddy. I'll bring that same commitment to caring for yours. I work from home full-time, which means your dog will have plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. 🐾 I have over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for my own dogs. Additionally, through my volunteer rescue work as a dog adoption coach and dog handler, I've gained experience working with a wide variety of breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. 🐾 My wife, Ellen, is a former Humane Law Enforcement Officer and lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. Together, we share a passion for animal welfare. 🐾 We currently share our home with two rescue dogs and three indoor cats. We know that every pet has different needs, routines, and comfort levels. Our goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where your pet feels at home while you're away. 🐾 If you think we'd be a good fit, I'd love to meet you and your buddy. We can talk about your dog's routine, personality, and any questions you may have before booking. 🐾 We hold all meet-and-greets at the dog-friendly neighborhood park right across the street from our home. We do this because it's a neutral place where everyone can relax, get to know each other, and make sure we're all a good fit before bringing a new dog into our home. It also gives me a chance to observe your dog's body language and get to know them in a low-pressure setting. 🐾 Thank you for considering us to care for your buddy. We appreciate the opportunity to earn your trust and hope to meet you both soon. Toby works from home full time, so your dog always has a real person present and engaged throughout the day. No empty houses, no lonely pups. Our yard is fully fenced and secure. Toby is home all day, so your dog is never unsupervised. We have First Aid and CPR training, and between Toby's work at Labs and More and Ellen's background in Humane Law Enforcement, your dog is in experienced hands from drop-off to pick-up.
“Natalie was great with our pup! Great communication and we got constant updates with pictures throughout the day. Our pup got a lot of outdoor time which she loves. She even gave us a written report card of what Sadie did throughout the day. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Rebecca did a wonderful job dog sitting while we made a quick visit to an event. She had a beautiful backyard that was enclosed where they could run freely. She took them on walks and gave them all the cuddles. Really happy with their stay.”
About: Hi everyone! My name is Maida and I have had pets since a young age and have experience with dog training. I absolutely love all animals and will truly cherish any opportunity to take care of your baby. I have two little kids (2- and 4-year-old girl and boy) and one senior dog (13-year-old husky). We would assess how your baby would do with the kiddos and my dog for overnight boarding. For daycare or potty breaks, this should not be an issue as the kids are in school during the day from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. most days. I live in Oceanside in the Arrwood community and have a fully fenced-in yard and beautiful sidewalks and trails near me for adventures. My dog (Bandit) gets along with most dogs, gets along great with cats, and the kids love cats and dogs too. If this sounds good to you, I'd love an opportunity to meet your baby and see how I can be helpful to your family. I work from home so basically your baby would be my sidekick. We have a fenced in yard which they would have access to as long as you are okay with that. We can start the day with a walk and then hang out together -- if I go anywhere they can tag along with me or would be safe inside my home. I have a crate if needed, a fully fenced in backyard and because I work from home they would be under my supervision all day. If I have to step out they would either join me, I would crate them, or leave them to roam free in the home depending on what your preference is and what's best for the pet.
“Dana has an immediately obvious love of dogs. It was our first day care visit and I left with no concerns. Picked up our little Minnie who was happy and groomed up. So excited to have someone like Dana to leave my dog with when needed. Thanks Dana!”
“Elle was amazing and took such a good care of our Ruby. We really appreciated her constant picture and video updates of how Ruby was doing. Highly recommend if you are away and need someone to care for your pet.”
“Melinda and her family took the best care of our girl. Riley came back happy and full of love. Melinda was a great communicator and made it a very easy and enjoyable experience. We are already looking forward to the next play date!”

About: We both grew up loving and taking care of our family dogs. When I was in college, I often worked as a dog sitter for neighbors and friends. I was able to build a network who trusted me with their precious pooches. We are still in the process of trying to find a pup of our own but in the meantime, while working from home, we have plenty of time to care for your pet. You can expect lots of snapshots and frequent updates (as often as you’d like) to keep you posted. Whether your furry friend prefers to lounge on the couch or go exploring and running around, we're happy to do what makes them happy! We love hiking, exploring, and discovering the gems in our city! I work from home full time so have the ability and flexibility to be available for your pets needs. Since I am still looking for a dog of my own, it's a great way to love on pups and get my fill of activities with walks or downtime snuggling on the couch. When staying at my home or a client's, I will always follow their guidelines and rules in terms of what is allowed. Mine is a very dog friendly home so they are always welcome on furniture or in the bed as they see fit.
About: I believe in the freedom a pet has to do their business and for me to be their poop collector. I will help your senior dog get around if they need a little extra help or with your puppy to gain confidence exploring a new area. I have 3 dogs. 2 Senior at 11 years old and 1 younger at 3 years old. They are taken care of first thing in the morning and last thing at night. 1 has many allergies that we care for each day. When helping out at a pets home I follow directions of the owner. If the pet is allowed in the yard I will stay with them while they are playing and or exploring. I clean up after pets if they accidently make a mess or spill some of their food / water.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs through both Rover, my work as a professional pet groomer and my current work as a Kennel Technician. I’m comfortable handling dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, including energetic puppies, senior dogs, and anxious pets that may need extra patience and care. My experience includes feeding routines, daily walks, playtime, basic behavior monitoring, crate training reinforcement, maintaining clean environments, and following detailed care instructions from owners. Working in grooming has also strengthened my understanding of animal behavior, safety, stress reduction, and proper handling techniques. I always focus on creating a safe, calm, and positive experience for every pet while keeping owners updated with communication and photos My schedule is flexible, and I do my best to accommodate each client’s needs. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the week, including during the day, and weekends. I do currently work part-time in the evenings. I’m reliable with communication, punctuality, and keeping consistent routines for pets while their owners are away. I care for pets by keeping their routines as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and any special care requests closely to make sure each pet feels safe and comfortable. During visits and stays, I provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, potty breaks, and supervision while also paying close attention to behavior and body language. Cleanliness and safety are very important to me, so I always maintain a clean environment, secure doors and gates, and make sure pets are never left in unsafe situations. I also keep owners updated with regular communication and photos so they can feel confident their pets are being well cared for while they’re away.

In my clients' homes, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, fresh water, exercise, medications, and any special needs. I make sure doors and gates are secure, keep pets away from hazards, and provide plenty of attention and companionship.

I'm the type of person that double checks and will pay attention to the small details in your pet's behavior and appearance. And of course, I absolutely love dogs.

She sent me pictures every day and kept me updated on what he was doing. I'll definitely come back, I was never worried about Wilson the whole time.”
“Rosie enjoyed her stay with Sandra and sweetheart, Mr. Max! Rosie was well taken care of and Sandra did a phenomenal job administering lmedications, which is a challenge at times. Would highly recommend her to anyone who needs pet care!”
“Rima took such good care of our Rosie! Loved receiving photos and videos throughout the day. Rima is very caring, down to earth, kind, and I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to board their pet!”
“Sarah was great with both our dogs. She left messages and lots of pictures of the dogs playing with their new friends. We would definitely have Sarah watch our dogs in the future. Thanks again!”
“Kathryn and Matt were amazing. They have 2 other dogs that Gumbo was able to play with and the property was safe for him to have a good time.. They gave regular updates on how he was doing, walked him around the neighborhood and even snuggled him on the couch when he sat next to them. They were excellent caretakers.”
“Amanda and her family are the best! This was my dogs' second stay with her and they were completely at ease with this familiar, safe environment. Amanda sent photos every day of their stay and their faces said it all- carefree, calm, and happy! Thank you, Amanda & Co. for accommodating us again!”
“Davinder and her daughter Chandra were great. Easy to explain things to, great questions, no problems at all on a 4 day stay. My dog can be picky about people but liked Chandra from the start. Got plenty of adorable pics of my beastie to feel assured she was happy and relaxed. She came home happy as ever too, didnt pick any fights with my other dog, all is swell. Thanks again Chandra!”
“This was our first time using Rover and we had a great experience! Brandy was warm and loving and provided us with a lot of updates on our dog. We will book with her again and recommend her 100%.”
“Dana took care of our yellow lab for us while we were on a long vacation. Our dog had never been with a boarder before, but she did great thanks to Dana. An excellent facility and all around experience. We will be back!”
“Tatyanah and Everardo watched our dog Nova for five nights and took such wonderful care of her. They are so friendly and you can tell right away they love dogs. It was such a relief to know she was being loved and well cared for while we were on vacation. They have a spacious yard, and Nova especially enjoyed playing with their two dogs—she bonded quickly with Jojo! They took her on plenty of walks and kept us updated with lots of videos and pictures, which we really appreciated. We would absolutely love for them to watch her again next time we need a dog sitter!”
“Cooper had so much fun with Erica and Felipe! We will definitely use them again. We had daily updates with pictures and Cooper was having a blast the entire time we were gone.”
About: Three large dogs of my own have lived their full lives here in the home I’ve owned with my wife for four decades. Now I regularly board family and friends large dogs when they are out of town. I’m always attentive to water and food needs. There is a dog door, and about 7000 square feet of yard with a 5’ fence. I am retired, and have the ability to care for your dog for whatever time that we’ve agreed upon. I can give your dog constant water, and food per your schedule. I will interact with your pet in my backyard. Short walks can done on my quiet street. 7000 sq. ft. fenced backyard with a dog door. Boarding dogs can stay in my dining room or living room. Bedrooms will be off limits, and kitchen will be discouraged. Dog owners crates can be used if needed for evenings.
“Andrea and Robert took great care of our Koda. They are very nice, easy to communicate with and seemed attentive to my pup’s needs. My Koda came home a happy dog! Will definitely book with them again. Thank you both!”
“Always a great experience boarding my dog w/Rachelle. My dog is no longer sad when I go out of town - she gets her own vacation and usually isn't ready to come home! Most importantly though, I trust that she is safe and happy and I have nothing to worry about. Thanks as always Rachelle :)”
“Kimberly was so wonderful with our two doggos. They welcomed them into their home just like family. They enjoyed their stay based on the photos received daily and came back happy and healthy. I recommend Kim and will definitely book with her in the future!”
“Danielle and Austin were great! My dog Lucia gets a little nervous before staying with new people and they were so welcoming and sweet. They were both super communicative and I felt like my dog was in safe hands the entire time! Thank you both for being so great!”
