“Yu-shu and family were AMAZING! We got a ton of updates complete with pictures and narratives every day during our vacation, and Leche was always so happy and loved, playing with other people and dogs! It was a wonder how Leche wanted to come back home to us! I hope Leche can stay with your family again, because she loved it, and we had zero worries or concerns about how she was doing. Thank you so much!”
“Natalie and Braden are incredibly loving, caring, and attentive boarders. Every time we bring Millie to them—whether it's been a couple of months or more—she remembers the place instantly. She’ll race up the driveway, which leads to several homes, but she always knows exactly which one is theirs. Once she’s at the door, she eagerly waits for it to be opened and greets them with kisses and a wagging tail. It’s clear how much she loves being there, and that makes us feel completely at ease. They do a fantastic job keeping her entertained, comfortable, and on her regular schedule. We’re so thankful for the care they provide and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for excellent dog boarding!”
“Being new to California, one of the hardest things for me has been finding someone I truly trust with my dog, Cooper. I usually take him everywhere with me, but recently that hasn’t always been possible. I’m so grateful to have found Hyangja! She took the time to meet with Cooper and me before my trip to make sure we were all comfortable and that it would be a good fit. We spent time getting to know each other while Cooper happily roamed around and made himself at home. While I was away, she sent me updates and pictures, which gave me such peace of mind. It was wonderful seeing that Cooper was comfortable, happy, and having a great time. I truly appreciate the care and attention she gave him. I think Cooper and I have officially found our perfect sitter, and that makes this dog mom very happy! Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“My dog, Sierra, had a great time. Lili and Matt took her on long walks and sent me many pictures of her. She came home in great condition, looking happy and tired. I will definitely use them again.”
“Fiona and her family took excellent care of Uno when he stayed with them.. they sent plenty of pictures and videos which was very helpful and kept us at ease.. would definitely board him with them again! Thank you!”
“I give Monisa and David our highest recommendation for dog boarding. We had our 2 dogs boarded with them for 10 days. We had never left our dogs with anyone for that length of time so we had some nerves but after our initial meet & greet with Monisa and David, we felt so at ease and confident. All communication leading up to the boarding, during and for pick up was clear, easy and straightforward. Monisa also provided photos and videos throughout their stay, and our dogs’ coats looked better when we picked them up than before we dropped them up😂. We had a great vacation and so did our dogs 😊”
“Shipra and family were awesome with my Shuri during her stay over a recent long weekend. As it was our first time, we did a quick meet and greet, and I could see they really care for the dogs and prioritize their care. Shipra was forthright with questions, accommodating of my timings and requests, and overall a caring host. She sent me regular pics and updates of Shuri having fun with her family and their sweet pupper Shadow. I could relax during my own vacation knowing Shuri was well cared for. And Shuri came home a tired and happy dog. Couldn't ask for more!”
“Hong and her family have definitely gone above and beyond for us. Having to be 300+ miles away from home, my furpal was in such great care. He needed emergency care and Hong and her husband wasted no time to call around anywhere and found him an amazing facility to treat him. They stayed with him for hours and even followed up with me weeks later to ensure his health was back to normal. I cannot thank Hong and her family enough for living my pup like their own.”
“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.”
“Keelin was amazing with Robin and made the whole experience very pleasant and comfortable for both of us. I trust her care and would definitely reach out again. Thank you Keelin for all your time and help.”
“Being a first time user of Rover. I was feeling skeptical on using a dog sitter that wasn't recommended or known. As a pet owner, you worry about who you trust to watch your pet. I researched and chose Clare after reading her reviews. My skepticism went away when Clare suggested a meet and greet to make sure my dog felt comfortable at her house with her dog Clare was great. She took interest in my dog and wanting to know more about her. Clare is very caring and maintains a very safe and clean environment for the dogs. We ended up booking with Clare and my dog was so well taken care of. Clare welcomed my dog as if it was her own, she took pictures and kept me posted on how she was doing, and the best part my dog was happy to be there with Clare! I have already rebooked with Clare and highly recommend her!”
“Lauren was absolutely wonderful with our dog Luca over the weekend! She was responsive and communicative throughout, which gave us great peace of mind. Luca came home happy and happily tired from all the playtime with Moose — clearly he had a great time! We especially appreciated how Lauren worked to help Luca feel comfortable around larger dogs and encouraged his socialization. That kind of thoughtful attention made a big difference, and it’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after. Highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a caring, attentive sitter who goes the extra mile!”
“Robert is a great pet sitter/boarder. He has a fantastic yard for the dogs to play, and he gives frequent updates and pictures of the dogs playing which I greatly appreciate. I am a returning customer and have been nothing but impressed.”
“This was my first time boarding my frenchie, so I was a little nervous how he would do in a new environment. Yanhong did such a great job at making him feel comfortable! He was well taken care of! She kept me updated throughout his stay and sent me pictures/videos and messages. It definitely put my mind at ease! I would definitely recommend yanhong and book her again! ☺️”

“Thanks so much for taking good care of our two dogs! The daily photos were wonderful and we were always happy to see our doggies enjoying themselves. Also, we appreciate the open line of communication :)”
“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!”
“It was our first time leaving our dog while we went on vacation in over a year, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Jita and her husband took wonderful care of our pup and treated him like one of their own. They sent daily updates with pictures, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. They even graciously agreed to keep him for an extra night when I realized I had made a mistake about our return date. We could tell he was happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. We are so grateful and will definitely have Jita watch him again in the future. Highly recommend!”

Prices are estimates per visit for 1 cat. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: While I haven’t personally owned a cat, I’ve cared for cats before and am very comfortable around animals. I’ve spent my whole life caring for and living with pets, so I understand the importance of being patient, attentive, and respectful of each animal’s personality and routine. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, keeping pets’ routines consistent, and communicating with owners about how their pets are doing. I love animals of all kinds and will give your cat the same care, attention, and respect I give my own pets.
“Wenyuan did such a fantastic job with dropping in on our kitty Willis. She went above and beyond in making sure food was full and litter was clean, cuddling and playing with him, and reporting any concerns immediately. She also sent many photos and videos every day! She obviously loved him very much, and is an incredibly empathetic animal-loving human :) we fully trust her with any future visits!!!”
“Chalise was great with our shy kitty. She submitted detailed reports with photos on both of her stays, our cat seemed to like her (which is an unusual thing for him), I can only say positive things about our experience with her”
“Amberlee is always wonderful with my kitty! I feel very lucky that she takes such good care of my cat, and is a fantastic pet sitter! She is 100% reliable & professional, and I know my cat is in good hands with her.”
About: I grew up surrounded by cats, and my love for them only grew stronger as I got older. Back home, I once helped rescue a stray cat that had been hit by a car, staying with it through its recovery and making sure it got the care it needed. That experience taught me so much about patience, gentle handling, and caring for cats when they’re scared or hurt. For over 10 years, I’ve looked after everything from playful kittens to shy seniors, and I know how to read their little cues to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away.
“I moved to the area about 3 years ago and Anne has been the go to person when I need someone to look after my cat Leonard. She is good with Leonard who tends to be a bit shy and she’s good at keeping me informed.”
“Christina communicates well setting up and during drop-in visits. I know what is happening in detail. She took good care of my fur babies making sure they had playtime, love and eating well.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Cigdem took care of our little smokey as if he was hers!!! She sent me morning and evening pics and gave Smokey the best of cuddles!!! So refreshing to know he was in such good hands. Highly recommend ❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“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!”
About: I love love love dogs! I rescued 4 dogs ranging from snappy chihuahuas to reactive pitbulls. I’ve been dog walking and sitting for half my life (15 years). I love kitty cats too, and I have experience with caring for turtles and fish! My first dog sitting client was in 2010 and she was my client for 4 years. In 2018 I started a professional dog walking and pet sitting business called Puppy Paws Pet Services in Jacksonville, Florida. I serviced over 100 dogs every year and had many daily and weekly clients. The biggest pack I’ve taken care of included 6 dogs, 4 turtles, and 10 fish. Big packs are my specialty, as I myself have a big pack. I have experience administering medicine, putting on diapers, specific diet plans, and handling rescues with different behavioral tendencies. I’ve seen just about everything and am prepared for most situations. I’ve never lost a dog, a dog has never been injured in my care, and I promise to send you cute photos of your pup! I currently work from home part time and have a very flexible schedule. I also have reliable transportation and only my two dogs to care for at home. My availability is open and flexible. I’m incredibly cautious when handling pets, I never get too comfortable. I always double, sometimes triple check locked doors, I review instructions I have before I enter and leave a clients house, I am mindful of how I would want someone in my home to act, and I always try to go above and beyond.
“Very fast and responsive with my booking. Very easy process and a great price compared to other local pet-sitters. I can't talk to cats, but my cat probably had a pretty chill day”
“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. 🐾💛”

“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.”
“Ash and her family have treated my baby Pepper so well. He is just learning to be OK without me. Ash has helped me deal with his separation anxiety and mine :-) by welcoming him into her home.”
“Susan was wonderful with Charlie! This was our first time using Rover, so I was a little nervous leaving him with someone new, but Susan immediately put us at ease. She is such a sweet and caring person, and Charlie warmed up to her quickly. Susan sent updates and adorable photos throughout the day, took Charlie on walks, gave him lots of attention, and made sure he was safe and comfortable in her home. She was very responsive, accommodating, and asked thoughtful questions about Charlie’s routine and preferences. Her calm, loving energy truly stood out❤️ Charlie came home happy and relaxed, and I absolutely trust Susan to watch him again. She is reliable, kind, patient, and cares for pets like family. I highly recommend Susan to anyone looking for a sitter who will give their dog the love and care they deserve.”

“Hong and Anjing always do an amazing job! This was Snowy's 3rd doggy day care visit and he really looks forward to visiting their home each time. They always keep me posted with frequent updates about Snowy's activities during the day and address any questions or concerns immediately. It gives me good peace of mind knowing that he is well looked after, and allows me to focus on my urgent office work.”

“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!”
About: Since the time I had my pet for the last 4 years, I can’t disagree to say I secretly love him more than my daughter😁. They are super cute, notorious, kind with those forgiving eyes. It would be fun to have your fur babies playing in my backyard and staying in our house. My daughter loves dogs, my pet is calm but friendly upon his mood and as a team, my family would love to host your fur babies. I am a software engineer by profession and working remotely. I am full time available at home, when the care is needed for the dogs. I have a playpen along with a large dog crate, if separation is needed. Backyard is fenced and is super secure. My daughter and I will walk the dogs.
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.

“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.”
“Clara was amazing with our super energetic 10 month old puppy. She was very patient and took really good care of him. She was also very accommodating of my schedule and was willing to work around it. Guduchi looks forward to see his next stay with you.”
“Phenomenally trustworthy and kind pet sitter. Our puppy doesn’t usually like when I’m not around but she was so excited to go see Ying that I’ll probably be moving forward with booking her weekly. Very communicative, responsible, and caring.”
About: I have two babies boys myself: a corgi and a mini goldendoodle, and have been sitting dogs for friends and others. I know how to take care of dogs, not just feeding and walking them, but also genuinely caring for them, taking them out for fun, playing with them and mental development. On my wfh days I take dogs out for a walk around lunchtime, park playtime before dinner, and play with them throughout the day during my breaks from work! I have a spacious house with fenced backyard, two dogs to keep your baby company. I have experience taking care of up to 4 dogs at the same time, managing conflicts, supervising play and treats. Dogs are allowed anywhere in our house - couch, bed, office, backyard, chairs, bench, wherever they’re comfortable!
“Grace is wonderful! She clearly understands the world of pets 🐶. She completely understood my dog’s personality and knew exactly how to work with him. She welcomed him into her home as if it was his own. She sent several pictures and updates of our dog hanging out with his new friends 🐾. She took him on walks and provided a detailed activity report upon pick-up. She even accommodated a last-minute change with no problem. We will definitely visit Grace again!”
“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.”

“Tom took the time for an introduction before booking to meet our dog and learn about her needs and quirks. He has been very patient with her and has given her the time she needs to warm up to him. He communicates concerns well, so that we can reach a mutually agreeable plan and sends status updates proactively. We’ve been pleased with his walking services so far and would recommend!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from small breeds to large dogs. I currently have a small dog of my own and understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I’ve also participated in obedience training with my dogs, so I’m comfortable with basic commands, routines, and reinforcing good behavior. I’m responsible, attentive, energetic, and great at communicating with pet parents. I genuinely love animals and will treat your dog with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule and enjoy getting out of the house for some extra activity.

For drop-in visits and walks, I’ll make sure your pet gets the attention and activity they need while keeping your home clean and secure. I’ll also keep you updated and communicate throughout the visit so you know how your pet is doing
“Mitchell is communicative, reliable, and I really enjoyed seeing the way my dog interacted with him. He’s a top notch dude and a top notch dad, based on our brief conversations. Thanks for the help while I healed from surgery. If I can return any favor, let me know sir.”

In your home, I respect your space and follow specific instructions to ensure your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness
About: Growing up with dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, and small mammals made me love them even more! I also love the outdoors and take daily walks, but my apartment doesn't have space for a dog. So I would love to walk with yours if your dog needs some extra attention and outdoors time too! I work as an after-school math educator and love to go on walks! I don't get enough steps in during my evening shifts, and you probably can't walk your pup during work, so this is the best of both worlds :) I always say my cats have a better life than I do, and I want the same for your pets! I'd love to message you a photo of our walks for your reassurance and entertainment :)
“We have been using Charlise consistently to walk our 11 month old puppy. She pays close attention to detail! I look forward to her updates and great stories after she completes each walks.”
About: I’ve been around dogs all of my life. As such, I feel comfortable working with dogs of all sizes and ages. During high school, I began pet- and housesitting professionally for Pleasanton Pets. Customers were always satisfied with my services, listing my respectfulness and punctuality as my best traits. Since then, I’ve also helped raise a puppy under certain regulations prior to its entry to a Guide Dog program in Norway. I have recently completed my MSc in Neuroscience at Trinity College Dublin. I am eager to take on a part time role as a Petsitter while I apply to more relevant full time jobs. This allows me to be available for petsits any day of the week. I do not currently offer petsits in my own home. However, as mentioned in a previous section, I have had many dogs (and cats) through the years, and am comfortable/familiar with most procedures people implement for their pets in their own homes.
About: I have taken care of pets my whole life. Growing up, I had four cats, and still do cat-care on weekends. I have more recently pet-sat for dogs, and taken both smaller and larger dogs on walks (from a Shih-Poo to a Bernese Mountain Dog). I will take care of your fur baby like I would take care of my own. I'm in college part time, so I can spend the majority of my week walking and pet-sitting for all of your needs. Although I am set to one-day book at the earliest, I am open to same-day inquiries if needed. I do not have a fenced yard, but your fur baby would be allowed on beds, the couch, and will have a lot of room to run around inside and be taken for walks.
About: I have years of experience with cats with owning 3 growing up. I am a vet assistant who LOVES pets 😇 I am very attentive to pet care, and will always make your pet feel happy, comfortable, and safe. I am a full time student at Las Positas (last semester 😃) who goes to class Monday and Wednesday. I work Thursday- Sunday locally in Danville, and since Tuesday is my only day off I spend it at the East Bay SPCA. I truly love pets and will always find a way to include them in my daily life. My schedule can seem intimidating, but this busy crazy schedule somehow finds me with so much 😇 When I visit a pet in someone’s home I make sure the pet knows this is their space and I am just a friend there to provide love and food. While being at your home I leave no trace of me even being there! Seriously I will leave your house clean, and respect as my own. Your pet is my priority and I’ll make sure to keep you updated throughout our time together.
“Gwen is so amazing!!! She did everything I asked and made sure to put shoes on my dog, Maui. She's super sweet and considerate. I love the fact she sends pictures and texts back right away. Can't wait to book more services with Gwen 😊”
About: I took care of my family and friends’ dogs while they were away . I deeply believe pets are our truest friends and family members too.So we treat them with great love . 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. It means I can care for your dog in your house as you instructed or I can use crater in my house.
About: I have loved and cared for animals for most of my life. I have had my own dog since I was 11, so I understand the responsibility, patience, and attention that pets need every day. I have also cared for hamsters and have experience watching my family’s pets as well as neighbors’ pets. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, giving attention, or making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away, I’m very dependable and caring. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always make sure they are happy, safe, and well cared for. I’m available in the mornings and evenings, which gives me plenty of flexibility to work pet care into my routine. I’m also available for overnight care and can come directly to your home so your cat can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment. I’m happy to care for your cat in your home and follow their normal routine as closely as possible. I’ll make sure they are fed, have fresh water, have a clean litter box, and get the right amount of playtime, attention, or space depending on their personality. I’ll also keep your home tidy and send updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your cat is being well cared for while you’re away.
About: They say to love what you do, right? So I figured, why not make a little extra cash doing something I truly love—because let’s be honest, four kids in ⚽️ isn’t cheap! I’ve been around animals my whole life, from cats and dogs to barnyard friends. These days, I share my home with an Italian Greyhound, two kitties, and my four lovely kids. I’m detail-oriented and treat every pet like part of the family. Whether it’s a drop-in visit, a nice long walk to burn off energy and enjoy the fresh air, or some playtime and snuggles, your furry fam will get plenty of love, care, and attention while you’re away. I work from home, giving me the flexibility to provide drop-in visits for feedings, playtime, and extra attention. I love making sure your furry fam feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. When caring for your pets in your home, I am detail-oriented and treat everything with respect and care. I follow instructions, leave things tidy, and ensure your furry fam feels loved and safe. I believe in leaving things better than I found them and treating others’ homes and pets the way I would want mine treated.
About: With over 13 years of pet care experience—including a decade dedicated specifically to dogs—caring for animals is both my passion and my calling. I raised my own rescue, a friendly Labrador/Pitbull mix, from the time he was a tiny four-week-old pup, so I deeply understand the level of patience, tenderness, and attentiveness every dog deserves. I offer attentive overnight care and day services tailored to your dog’s unique routine. Whether they need frequent potty breaks, invigorating walks, or cozy downtime, I adapt completely to their needs. I'm a student at UCSB. When I am off class, I work part-time with rover. Taking care of your dog would be far from a job for me. Tending to the loving companions dogs are fulfills my day like no other. My neighborhood is surrounded by pet owners so ur dog will have company on his/her walks. Dog sitting at the owners house will also not be a problem, and I'm very reachable on my phone for constant updates.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals since I was a child and the love never ceased. I’ve cared for both dogs and cats. I have extensive experience caring for senior pets who might need a bit more attention. I am currently home from UCSC this summer so have very open availability for providing services. Additionally, I have my own vehicle so there are no time constraints in scheduling. I will be able to crate your pets if needed, but if they prefer a cuddle I will happily oblige! Have a pet with lots of energy? We can do long walls or monitored off leash play if that’s what they are used to !
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 2 years, including dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities. I make sure each fur baby feels safe, happy, and loved. I’m experienced with feeding routines, walks, playtime, and giving lots of cuddles! I’ll treat your pet as if they were my own and keep you updated every step of the way I’m working part-time, which means I have plenty of quality time to care for your pets! I’m available for dog walking and drop-ins on weekdays after 2pm, and fully open on weekends for boarding and longer stays. Whether your pup loves playtime or just needs cozy company, I’m here to fit your schedule and keep them happy. Pets in my care are treated like family. I provide a calm, safe environment with lots of affection and attention to their needs. I closely follow any routines, feeding instructions, or training cues you rely on at home. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and communication—expect regular updates, photos, and peace of mind while you’re away
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.

“Yu-shu and family were AMAZING! We got a ton of updates complete with pictures and narratives every day during our vacation, and Leche was always so happy and loved, playing with other people and dogs! It was a wonder how Leche wanted to come back home to us! I hope Leche can stay with your family again, because she loved it, and we had zero worries or concerns about how she was doing. Thank you so much!”
“Fiona and her family took excellent care of Uno when he stayed with them.. they sent plenty of pictures and videos which was very helpful and kept us at ease.. would definitely board him with them again! Thank you!”
“I give Monisa and David our highest recommendation for dog boarding. We had our 2 dogs boarded with them for 10 days. We had never left our dogs with anyone for that length of time so we had some nerves but after our initial meet & greet with Monisa and David, we felt so at ease and confident. All communication leading up to the boarding, during and for pick up was clear, easy and straightforward. Monisa also provided photos and videos throughout their stay, and our dogs’ coats looked better when we picked them up than before we dropped them up😂. We had a great vacation and so did our dogs 😊”
“Hong and her family have definitely gone above and beyond for us. Having to be 300+ miles away from home, my furpal was in such great care. He needed emergency care and Hong and her husband wasted no time to call around anywhere and found him an amazing facility to treat him. They stayed with him for hours and even followed up with me weeks later to ensure his health was back to normal. I cannot thank Hong and her family enough for living my pup like their own.”
“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.”
“Lauren was absolutely wonderful with our dog Luca over the weekend! She was responsive and communicative throughout, which gave us great peace of mind. Luca came home happy and happily tired from all the playtime with Moose — clearly he had a great time! We especially appreciated how Lauren worked to help Luca feel comfortable around larger dogs and encouraged his socialization. That kind of thoughtful attention made a big difference, and it’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after. Highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a caring, attentive sitter who goes the extra mile!”
“Robert is a great pet sitter/boarder. He has a fantastic yard for the dogs to play, and he gives frequent updates and pictures of the dogs playing which I greatly appreciate. I am a returning customer and have been nothing but impressed.”

“It was our first time leaving our dog while we went on vacation in over a year, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Jita and her husband took wonderful care of our pup and treated him like one of their own. They sent daily updates with pictures, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. They even graciously agreed to keep him for an extra night when I realized I had made a mistake about our return date. We could tell he was happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. We are so grateful and will definitely have Jita watch him again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Third time staying in Sameer and family’s care and our 7 month old puppy had a great time. It’s not just the care she receives while at Sameer’s but also how he helps her by training using positive reinforcement techniques just like how we do with her at home. It’s never easy leaving the puppy and going, but knowing she’s getting the best care is very reassuring.”
“Svetlana and her husband were amazing once again! We felt so at ease knowing Mocha was staying with them. They truly loved on her as if she was their own which made us so happy! We got frequent updates and Mocha came back rested and happy.”
“Dyan is amazing. I would absolutely recommend her to my family & friends. She and her family took the best care of my dog, he was happy (and tired!) when I picked him up. She provided wonderful updates with photos throughout the stay. If you are considering her for your pet, you won't regret it!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Alyse and her family were awesome with Gabbar! She was super responsive and accommodating the whole time, which made everything so easy. Gabbar honestly had the best time and looked like he was having a blast. I loved getting the photos and videos throughout his stay, too; it was so nice to see him happy. Will definitely be booking with her again! Thanks so much, Alyse!”
“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’m always worried to leave my dogs behind when I travel - Anna sent me updates of Maui during my whole trip, and I could tell when I picked him up that she was very sweet to him.”
