“Natalie and Braden are wonderful dogsitters. No matter how much time has passed since Millie last saw them, the moment we take her out of the car she knows exactly where she is, runs straight to their door, and gets so excited to see them. That says everything about how caring and loving they are with her. She is always very well taken care of and comes home happily tired from walks and activities. They are fantastic, and we would recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, attentive care for their dog!”
“Susan was our first Rover sitter, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. After meeting a few sitters, our dog immediately connected with Susan—and since Mochi only gives cuddles to very special people, I knew she was the one. We boarded Mochi with Susan for a few nights while we were away, and she was incredibly attentive to her needs. She took her on daily walks, played lots of ball with her—Mochi is a serious ball-aholic—and, most importantly, loved her like her own. She also sent updates and photos, which meant so much to us. At one point, I even joked that she shouldn’t spoil Mochi too much or she’d go into Susan withdrawal when she got home… and honestly, she did the next day! Susan is an absolute gem. We highly recommend her without hesitation and are so grateful she made Mochi’s first Rover stay such a happy and memorable one.”
“Such a lovely family, they took very good care of our dog and kept us updated along with pics multiple times a day. Our dog was looking happy when we picked him. Highly recommend Yu-Shu.”
“We were very grateful to find someone that loves dogs and has a passion for caring for them when their owners need to be away. Our dog was safe & well taken care of. Thank you Monisa & David!”
“Kimberly was a great sitter for my dog, Friday. I was worried about how anxious my dog would get during Halloween, but she made sure he was comfortable and in a quiet space. I really appreciate her updates and the videos of our dogs playing together. Thanks, Kimberly!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Lili took amazing care of Molly and kept me updated with photos and messages, so I felt completely at ease while I was away. From walks to playtime, Lili went above and beyond to make sure all of Molly's needs were met. I highly recommend Lili to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy pet sitter. We’ll definitely be booking again!”
“We had almost given up on Rover until we found Shipra! She and her entire family are such genuine dog lovers. They made our Penny feel like part of their family & addressed our concerns ahead of time. Penny’s 11+ yrs and had experienced separation anxiety in the past but not anymore! A big ‘Thank you” to the entire family & hopefully we will being seeing you again.”
“It was the first time our Luna ( 11yr old multi-poo) was able to stay with Zhengfang. We dropped her off Friday and picked her up following Monday within 1minute! In and out. No checkout lines waiting etc. I was sent pictures and videos on how she was doing and we felt comfortable on how she was treated. I believe this is a much better option than petsmart or others we’ve tried. The cost, service, cleanliness, convenience, timeliness, TLC, and no attitude, surpasses all others. Thank you Zhengfang and we’ll contact you the next time Luna needs dog sitting!”
“Once again, Clara was wonderful with our Jake. We had some concerns because of some health issues our pup was demonstrating before we left but Clara took it all in stride and assured us he would be in good hands. Fortunately, Jake did well in her care and thanks to her no major issues came up during his week stay. Thanks so much, Clara!”
“Lexie was well understood and well cared for. I couldn’t have asked for more! Our dog is a tricky one with senior issues but Trisha and her family knew just how to address her difficulties and make her happy and comfortable. She fit right in with their family! I’m very grateful to Trish and I highly recommend her.”
“5 stars as always. Keelin provides such great care for our dogs, gives them plenty of love and a lot of cute daily updates with photos. Thank you so much as always and Mochi and Basil look forward to their next stay with Keelin.”
About: Here’s a professional English version: Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals has been part of my life for many years. I structure my schedule around feeding, walks, playtime, and rest periods, and I make sure each pet receives consistent attention, companionship, and monitoring throughout the day. I especially prioritize routine, comfort, and safety, particularly for senior pets, to ensure they feel secure and well cared for at all times. I have a fenced yard and safe and big space of home. In my home, I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment tailored to each dog’s needs. I follow their regular feeding, walking, and medication schedules closely, offer plenty of attention and gentle playtime, and ensure they feel comfortable and secure. I have special experience caring for senior dogs, including monitoring health, mobility, and emotional well-being, and I treat every dog as if they were my own family member.
“An took great care of our labradoodle during an overnight stay. She was prompt during our communication which made scheduling the appointment straightforward and provided frequent updates (with photographs) on Chaaya throughout her stay. Chaaya seemed happy when we went to pick her up, which was most important to us.”
“My dog had a great time in Ping’s house. He got so attached to her. We are very happy with her service. She sends pictures throughout the day. She takes the dogs for a walk. I would definitely recommend this place.,”
“Kosar took wonderful care of our cat, Mochi, while we were away. She treated him like her own and even helped with pickup. Mochi usually takes time to adjust to new places and often stops eating, but Kosar patiently calmed him and made sure he was comfortable and eating well. She kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind during our trip. We highly recommend Kosar to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter, and we would gladly use her services again.”
“Veronica and her family were amazing! I was in from out of town and had a last minute change of plans and she watched my puppy and I knew he was in good hands as soon as I met her! She sent pictures and pupdates and even took my puppy to the beach! She was a lifesaver and I would definitely trust her to watch my dog again!”
“Jita was very accomdating in accepting am overnight visit on short notice. We had booked with Jita previously and she knew Wiley, whiich did make it easy. We appreciate the flexibility that Jita had with helping us in an unexpected scenario. Thank you Jita, and our thanks to your husband as well.”

“She was so amazing! She was terrific and my cat really liked her. She could not have done any better! She kept in touch and sent lots of pictures. Made us feel very comfortable!”
“Darcy was excellent. I appreciated her availability for a meet and greet beforehand, to figure out the details for her stay. She was easy to work with, professional, and clearly has a love for animals. My husband and I were able to sleep easy knowing Darcy was keeping an eye on our cats. We especially appreciated that she was able to hold down the fort when we were unexpectedly without cell service at the event we were attending. She was able to figure things out, and there were zero issues even though I was unable to answer her questions. I would have no hesitation asking Darcy back or recommending her to a friend. Thank you, Darcy!”
“Pashmina was so welcoming and kind to our cat throughout the whole boarding! This was our first time sending our cat off to cat boarding with someone other than family/close friend and she had been more than kind to walk us through the process. We had two video meetings prior to our cat's stay where she reassured us how there was adequate space for our cat to roam and hang out with her throughout the day. During the cat boarding stay, she sent us photos and videos every day, keeping us updated on how our kitty has been doing. Overall, a very great and pleasant experience!”
“We had a great experience with Wenyuan taking care of our cat Lucy while we were on vacation. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making Lucy comfortable and happy while we were away. We really appreciated the updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind during our trip. Lucy was relaxed and well cared for when we got home, and we would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Mitchell did an amazing job taking care of my cats. He is extremely responsible, reliable, and genuinely caring. He followed all feeding instructions carefully, kept everything clean and organized, and made sure my cats were comfortable and well taken care of. He also provided timely updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. My cats can be shy, but they warmed up to him quickly, which really shows his patience and love for animals！”
About: I have been taking care of cats since I was very young. Cats have a particularly special place in my heart and I love every cat dearly. I enjoy seeing all the different personalities that cats have and their curiosity for the world around them. Neighbors, friends, and family have all trusted me with their cats whether they were newborn kittens or older felines.
“Hailey was very communicative and friendly. She was very comfortable with our cats, which made us confident in leaving them in her care. She's professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
About: I’m the go-to cat sitter for friends and neighbors, providing reliable care through drop-in visits and extended stays. I have experience caring for cats with very different personalities and comfort levels, including shy, anxious, and dominant cats., indoor and outdoor cats Three of the cats I currently care for are Ceres (indoor cat), Sedna (outdoor cat) and Maki (kitten). Ceres is extremely skittish and sensitive to noise or sudden movement, while Sedna is more confident and assertive. Caring for them has strengthened my ability to read feline body language, respect boundaries, and create a calm, safe environment tailored to each cat’s needs. I’ve looked after Maki since he was 1 month old and helped the three cats integrate together. I handle feeding, playtime, litter box cleaning, and daily care with patience and attention to detail. My goal is always to make cats feel comfortable, secure, and cared for while their owners are away. I prioritize communication, and make it a priority to provide frequent updates and photos of your cat(s). I understand my profile is new, so I don’t have as many testimonials. I have done work exchanges in the past on Workaway and WWOOF, and have attached those reviews as screenshots. You can also request references from me.

About: Hello there! I’m a recent grad who loves dogs and pets! I grew up with a small maltipoo named Luna which I love and adore! Currently working part time during the week. I generally only work 3-4 weekdays 9-5pm. I am flexible to sit anytime outside of work and I always go on walks after work! I live in an apartment with a dog area in the complex. There is also a park nearby with a walking trail down the street!
“Isabel was wonderful!! She was incredibly communicative, showed up with consistency and reliability, and was a pleasure to work with. She watched my cat for a week and made sure all his needs were met. I highly recommend booking with Isabel for a worry-free vacation! Thanks!”
“We booked a sitter through Rover for the first time for a long time period and were a little nervous about leaving Missy alone, but Xiaoyu was absolutely wonderful. From the very beginning, she made sure Missy felt comfortable, loved, and well cared for. Xiaoyu followed all the instructions we discussed and truly went above and beyond to make sure Missy didn’t miss us. After just a few visits, it was clear that Missy looked forward to seeing her, which gave us so much peace of mind. I would highly recommend Xiaoyu to anyone looking for a dedicated, trustworthy, and caring sitter—and a true friend—for their fur baby. 🐾💛”
“Ping was great with RB. She’s very kind and gentle. Her pup Cherry is also very sweet and well behaved. I think it’s a bonus for RB to have canine company. Ping sent photos, was able to accommodate last minute request and very responsive. Thanks Ping and Cherry!”
About: When I was younger I always thought being a single crazy cat lady was insane until I grew older and realized that is the dream😂 I absolutely adore cats they are definitely my favorite animal in the world. Whether your cat is friendly, shy, or spicy I know how to handle all. My friends call me the cat whisperer whenever we go out and I manage to pet the cat no one can pet. Even though I don’t have my own cat at this moment, I will always treat your cat like my own 😇

“Kim is amazing, her house is beautiful, her two dogs are very well behaved, and I could not be happier with her services! She is very professional (knows a lot about dog training), communicates nicely, and my dog was better behaved when I picked her up than when I dropped her off!”
“Sammy had a great time with Ash! He has separation anxiety so it can be hard for us to feel comfortable leaving him, but Ash took the time to answer all our questions and let us look around at the meet and greet. Sammy was so happy to see her for his first daycare and came back happy and relaxed! We look forward to more visits 💕”
“Yoshi had another great stay overnight with Benjamin and Qiyun! Really appreciate all the updates throughout the day and how very attentive they are with Yoshi! Amazing care and communication, thank you!”
“My Siberian Husky came back very happy and tired from a fun full day! I really appreciated that he got a long walk first thing and had company and play time all day in a safe, clean house. Really gave me peace of mind and helped me out with my after-work evening errands to have a calm tired dog.”
“Pawparents dropped off for a playdate while attending a wedding. Rocky enjoyed his stay with Maya and other pup friends. Maya sent plenty of updates/pictures. She was very communicative and friendly. Highly recommended!”

I am currently not working. So I have plenty of time to connect and play with your pets. We will take walks as much as they needed. I don’t have a fenced yard. But I have a crater.

About: I have cared for dogs since I was young and know how to keep them happy. I dog sit my friends and family’s pets at my home whenever I get the chance. I am free on the weekends and look forward to go on walks and play with Daisy and our guest puppy. On Friday I’m free starting at 3 PM . My 13 and 9 year old daughter and son love to play with dogs. I have a large, fenced, grassy backyard and a doggy door so your dog can play in my yard whenever they want. There are no objects or anything for your dog to step on or eat in my house or backyard - it’s perfectly safe and puppy proofed here!
“This was our second experience with Susan in just a month—this time for daycare—and it confirmed everything we already felt about her. The moment Mochi’s paws touched the grass, she knew where she was. She sprinted to the front door, then to the garage looking for Susan, then back again—at one point even trying to crawl under the gate to get to her! It was hilarious, heart-melting, and such a clear sign of how special Susan is to her. Mochi absolutely adores her. At pickup, Mochi was happy to see me—but then ran right back to Susan for one last cuddle. It was priceless. Susan truly understands the perfect dog equation: a well-exercised + mentally stimulated + loved dog = a happy, content, and tired pup. Mochi was snoring the moment we got home! Whether you need daycare or an overnight stay, Susan is, without a doubt, the one.”
“Zcarina was amazing with our puppy Baymax. She took fantastic care of him. We felt very safe leaving our puppy with her. She gave constant updates regarding the wellbeing along with picture updates.”
“Could not ask for a better dog sitting family! Their house is very dog friendly! They took exceptional care of my very energetic 6 month old Aussie puppy!...could not be happier with them...strongly suggest!”

“A was wonderful with Bear. She was very accommodating in letting me drop him off very early in the morning and understanding when I was running late picking him up. Her home is warm and inviting and she made sure to send pictures throughout the day. I can tell my baby was very comfortable and I was very happy and will have A watch him again in the future.”
“Puja took care of Maple during one of our busy Sunday's. She also picked and dropped Maple as we we completely swamped. She made sure to keep a meet a greet ahead of time and opened her door to show us around and introduced us to her lovely furry baby Duchess. She took note of things related to Maple's health and routine. That gave us great comfort while leaving Maple to her for the the first time. Maple had a great time at her place. She came back home happy and tired after all day play. Puja shared lots of pictures of Maple's stay which shows how much fun she had. Would surely be going back to her if we ever need help with Maple.”
“This was the first time our dog stayed with Navneet. We got constant updates from her which surely helped us. We had a great experience ! Will surely plan to leave our dog with her again.”

“Shaka seemed to have a great day at Monisa and David’s house. She even got a nice brushing from Monisa! We feel so lucky to have gotten a referral to Monisa and David from one of their neighbors. We plan to try to book both day care and overnights with Monisa whenever they are available and we have the need. I’m learning they are VERY popular with other pup parents, so booking early is important. Thanks for a perfect first stay for Shaka!!”

“Allyson was amazing with Pumpkin! Not only did she walk him, but she also helped brush his hair, gave him a treat, and made sure his water and food were all set. Super thoughtful and attentive—Pumpkin was happy and relaxed when I got home. Highly recommend!”
“Mitchell was a superb dog walker for me and my dog, Kygo. He is incredibly professional and clearly has a genuine love for animals.

About: I've lived on a small farm since I was 4 years old and I've been caring for animals since then. At age 16, I began house sitting/pet sitting for various families who trusted me with a wide range of animals, including cats and dogs. My family has always included multiple pets and I love them each dearly. Every animal deserves the most care and love possible. Pets have my whole heart and I want nothing but the best for them. I can confidently say that I know very well how to care for any dog or cat. I currently have a full time job but I am free in the late afternoons and evenings so I will have plenty of time to care for your pet and give them all the love they need. I will be available to spend as much time with them as you request and when I am caring for them, they will get my full attention. Your pets are my priority. When I am caring for a pet at the client's home, I walk into the situation understanding that the pet may not trust me at first because they are on their home turf and they have never met me before. I am always careful to use a quiet and calm voice while not making any sudden movements until the pet has shown they are no longer afraid. I've learned that it helps to use the pet's name, talk to them without fear, and keep a safe distance until they've learned to trust me. Once the pet is comfortable with my presence, I will go about caring for them and making sure they get lots of love and attention.

About: The day my best friend Lucca (tiny little Norwich Terrier) came home, I knew I would have a best friend for life. Taking care of my dog provided me with skills like time management, organization, responsibility, independence, and caregiving.

About: I have owned dogs since I was 10 years old and cats since the mid 1970's. I have cared for, fed, walked, played with not only my own, but for friends and neighbors as well. I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to walk and care for your pets. Mid-mornings to early afternoons some days, all day on other days. I am currently not available to care for your pets in my home due to having 3 dogs and 2 cats already. Anything can change in the future though.
About: I currently focus exclusively on dog walking and bring a calm, safety-first approach to every visit. As a nursing student and part-time consultant, I’m used to following instructions closely, paying attention to small details, and communicating clearly — all of which help me provide dependable, thoughtful care. While I don’t have a dog of my own, I’ve spent plenty of time around dogs through friends and family and genuinely enjoy being around them. I’m mindful of leash control, surroundings, and each dog’s comfort level, and I take the time to learn what works best for every individual dog. I always prioritize meet-and-greets so both you and your dog feel comfortable before we get started. During walks, I keep things structured but relaxed — never rushed — with attention to pacing, safety, and the environment. After each walk, you can expect a clear update so you know how everything went. My goal is for you to feel confident knowing your dog is in attentive, responsible hands, and for your dog to enjoy a calm, positive walk every time. I currently work part-time remotely and take most of my classes online, which allows me a flexible schedule to provide reliable dog walks throughout the week. On weekdays, I am available in the mornings and early afternoons, and weekends are fully open, allowing for multiple walks if needed. Because of my flexible routine, I can provide consistent, punctual, and attentive walks, always following the owner’s instructions and making sure each dog gets safe, unrushed time outdoors. I plan my schedule carefully to accommodate both pets and owners, and I always leave buffer time between walks to ensure punctuality and reliability. During every dog walk, I prioritize safety, trust, and a controlled environment. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, keep the dog securely leashed at all times, and stay aware of surroundings, other dogs, and traffic. I pay close attention to each dog’s body language, energy level, and comfort, adjusting the pace and distance accordingly. I also communicate clearly with owners before and after each walk, providing updates or photos so they know their dog is safe and happy. I plan walks with buffer time to avoid rushing, and I make sure the dog’s comfort and well-being are the top priority from start to finish.
About: Hi 🐶 & 🐱 parents, My name is Noelle and always love animals. I have been around pets my entire life and have over 15 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. Growing up, my family always had dogs and a cat, and we still do to this day. I helped feed, walk, play with, and care for our pets from such a young age. My childhood cat is even still with us! I have also cared for my neighbor's pets, providing attention, companionship, and lots of love while their owners were away. One thing, I enjoy taking photos and videos of the pets I care for and sending updates to their owners, so they can feel connected and reassured while they're apart from their furry family members. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and individual needs. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, happy, and loved while in my care. I am currently available and have a flexible schedule. Caring for pets has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I make time in my daily routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Throughout the week, I also make extra time for longer walks, enrichment activities, and providing updates to pet parents. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and look forward to making pet care a regular part of my schedule while giving each pet the attention and care they deserve. When I'm caring for pets in a client's home, I like to take care of all responsibilities first, such as feeding, walks, potty breaks, and any other requested tasks. After that, I enjoy spending quality time with the pets through play, companionship, and positive interaction. I do my best to keep each pet's routine as normal as possible so they feel comfortable, secure, and less stressed while their family is away. I carefully follow written instructions and pay close attention to each pet's individual needs. I prefer a calm and patient approach, allowing pets to adjust at their own pace while building trust and helping them feel at ease. I also provide regular updates so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: Hi! My name is Renee, and my passion for animal care began with my rescue dog, Brownie. Over the past 3 years, I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and even goats & farm animals of all ages, temperaments, and care needs. I have experience with: • Puppies, senior dogs, kittens, and multi-pet households • Large dogs (80+ lbs) and working breeds • Rescue dogs and reactive dogs • Administering oral medications Some of my previous pet care experience includes: • Caring for a Shiba Inu requiring oral medication for 1.5 months • Dog sitting 4 dogs from the same household for 3 weeks • Caring for 2 cats and 1 kitten from the same household for 1 month • Walking, jogging and hiking with dogs • Volunteering with Furry Friends Rescue and Muttville Senior Dog Rescue I’m especially comfortable working with rescue and reactive dogs. My own dog has reactivity challenges, so I understand the importance of patience and picking up on body language before a reaction happens. While I’m not a certified trainer, I’m happy to reinforce any training methods or routines you already use with your dog. My approach to pet care is centered around respect for each animal’s individual personality and boundaries. I prioritize clear communication and provide frequent updates and photos so owners feel informed and reassured while they’re away. I love meeting new dogs and cats and learning about their quirks, and I hope to meet your furry friend(s) soon! I understand my profile is new, so I don’t have as many testimonials. I have done work exchanges in the past on Workaway and WWOOF, and have attached those reviews as screenshots. You can also request references from me. I will be fully available for the entire month of August 2026 for any of your pet care needs, including drop-ins, walks, and overnight care. I take the time to get to know each dog by asking lots of questions and observing their personality and play style. I love playing with dogs, my own dog often mistakes me for one because I match his energy! Working with reactive dogs has taught me that every dog has their own boundaries and unique personality. I never treat one dog the same as another and am always respectful of your pet’s limits.
About: Hello, my family and I are huge animal lovers. We have been pet sitting for for a little over 3 of years now. We travel for long periods so don't have our own pets. This is why when your pet comes to our house, he/she will get spoiled with attention. We try and keep animals that are smaller than 50-55 lbs so they can enjoy free space in the house. I sometimes work at a school so my weekday calendar is usually blocked . Dogs will get lots of exercise when they're with us. about every 2 hours. They are allowed up on the sofa so come cuddle with us. Looking forward to meeting your fur family. I work at a school part time. So daytime usually they will hang out with my husband who works from home. Then afternoon onwards, myself and my two extremely gentle and sweet teen kids will be home to give the pet our undecided attention. Our house is fully fenced all around and pets will always be inside the house unless they want to sun bathe in the back yard.
“Isabel was great with my two large dogs! She took time out of her day to do a meet and greet and was very helpful in making sure the dogs were taken care of! Looking forward to booking more walks with her!”

“Such a lovely family, they took very good care of our dog and kept us updated along with pics multiple times a day. Our dog was looking happy when we picked him. Highly recommend Yu-Shu.”
“We were very grateful to find someone that loves dogs and has a passion for caring for them when their owners need to be away. Our dog was safe & well taken care of. Thank you Monisa & David!”
“Kimberly was a great sitter for my dog, Friday. I was worried about how anxious my dog would get during Halloween, but she made sure he was comfortable and in a quiet space. I really appreciate her updates and the videos of our dogs playing together. Thanks, Kimberly!”
“Lexie was well understood and well cared for. I couldn’t have asked for more! Our dog is a tricky one with senior issues but Trisha and her family knew just how to address her difficulties and make her happy and comfortable. She fit right in with their family! I’m very grateful to Trish and I highly recommend her.”
“Jita was very accomdating in accepting am overnight visit on short notice. We had booked with Jita previously and she knew Wiley, whiich did make it easy. We appreciate the flexibility that Jita had with helping us in an unexpected scenario. Thank you Jita, and our thanks to your husband as well.”
“Sameer is superb. He truly loves and understands dogs and took such good care of our girl. His home and yard are beautiful which reflects a level of care and pride that shows in how he cares for the dogs. He sent photos every day and seemed to really enjoy the time with our dog and a few others he was sitting during the same week. He came highly recommended to us and we will certainly use him again.”
“Navneet and family are wonderful! A real home away from home for our dog where she receives much love, care, and attention by all. Fenced in yard provides added peace of mind. We would definitely book a stay with them again!”
“I had a great experience boarding my cat with Svetlana through Rover! From the start, they were friendly, and responsive. Throughout the stay, I received regular picture and video updates, which gave me peace of mind knowing my cat was in good hands. It was obvious my cat was comfortable and well-cared for! I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again!”
“Our dog Marley’s stay with Maya was great! Maya kept us very well informed and sent lots of pictures. Maya was very accommodating and flexible when our travel plans unexpectedly changed. We will happily leave Marley in Maya’s care again in the future. 😊🐾”
“Megan was absolutely amazing! It’s so obvious she loves dogs, and treated Sierra like she was her own. After lots of pics, walks and cuddles, Sierra clearly loved Megan too. We’re so grateful to have Megan available to watch after our fur-child when we’re out of town!!”
“Another 5 star stay for our Judah. We couldn't be happier with the depth of care provided. It is so wonderful to be able to relax while away from our pup knowing he's having an absolute blast. We loved seeing all the videos and photos and continue to greatly appreciate Carolyn creating a "home away from home" for our puppy.”
“We had an amazing experience with Robert. He is very responsive and share a lot of pictures and videos. Our puppy, Peanut, and a great time playing in his yard with another dog that was also there for boarding.”
“We have tried everything but hands down you can trust this provider for your pet. The love, care and attention she provides to your pet is outstanding. In a good way, I feel our dog is missing her!”
“Alyssa and her family are amazing and the only sitter on Rover that I have complete peace of mind booking with. Our nervous dog Kikko is now excited when we drop her off and we are at ease knowing she’s cared for by the best.”
“Linh & Torrey are so great! They sent photos pretty much everyday that Banchan stayed with them, and it gave us so much reassurance to know that he was well cared for. They even took him to the dog park during his latest visit and he looked like he had the best time.”
About: I provide a loving, safe, and comfortable home where your dog will be treated like family. Expect plenty of belly rubs, ear scratches, playtime, walks, and lots of one-on-one attention. My Goldendoodle, CoCo, is friendly, well-socialized, and loves having doggy guests to play and relax with. I am home full-time, which allows me to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. Your pet will receive plenty of supervision, companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and affection rather than being left alone for long periods. I have a flexible schedule and can easily incorporate walks, feeding routines, medication administration (if needed), and one-on-one attention into my day. Whether your pet enjoys active play or simply relaxing nearby, I'll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you're away. I have a fenced backyard, with lots of space for the pets to lounge, run around inside or out in a caring and safe environment
“Evelyn took care of our young golden retriever for a few days and let’s just say we picked our pup up and she was tuckered out by how much fun she had! Evelyn sent us photos of our dog and the other dog she was watching and you can tell they were well taken care of. This is our first Rover experience and I give it a 10 out of 10, would use Evelyn again.”
