“Hana was a great doggie Mamma when we were away for a week. The dogs looked happy and in spite of very hot weather they got in their exercise and usual stimulation and cuddles. Thank you Hana!!!”
“Kathleen did a wonderful job with our dog, Tucker, while we were away for almost a week. We got regular pictures, videos and updates and felt very comfortable leaving him with her for the first time. He had a nice, big house to stay in, a large yard to play in and doggie friends to play with. We will definitely be booking again.”
“Absolutely ideal. I think my dogs enjoyed their night away from home as much as we enjoyed our get-away. Parnian sent so many pictures of our dogs lounging, eating and playing. I feel like she loved them like her own dogs. I hope they get the chance to stay with her again. Highly recommend!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the incredible care Winnie provided for our dog while we were away! From the very first meet & greet, it was clear how much love and experience she brings to every visit. Our pups (who can be a bit anxious with new people) warmed up to her instantly and was always so excited to see her. Winnie went way above and beyond—daily photo and video updates that made us feel completely at ease, extra playtime and walks, and she even sent little “good morning” messages with pictures of our dog happily wagging his tail. She followed our detailed instructions perfectly, kept their routine consistent, and made sure they got plenty of cuddles and mental stimulation. She’s reliable, communicative, professional, and truly treats every dog like her own. If you’re looking for someone who will give your furry family member the absolute best care, she is the best. Thank you so much, Winnie! We’ll be requesting you for every future trip. 🐾❤️”
“Breauna is the best! I am SO grateful that Breauna was not only available and responsive to a last minute request, but was also super supportive and chill when I was trying to frantically find someone to care for my dog. While my dog is chill, he has very bad separation anxiety and cannot be left alone. On top of that, he was getting over a cough and couldn’t be around other dogs. I am grateful that Breauna was able to care for my special boy with such care and ease! Would recommend to anyone seeking care for their fur baby! Will definitely book again next time I am by base!”
“Took great care of our pets going above and beyond with communicating and sending updates. We were worry-free right away knowing our pets were in good hands. Thank you very much to the whole family for helping take care of our babies!”
“Martin and his son were excellent. Communication was consistent, and they kept us updated with pictures, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dogs were being cared for with the same level of attention and affection we would give them ourselves. Our dogs came back happy, relaxed, and clearly had a great time — especially being able to interact with their dogs as well. Martin and his son were responsive, reliable, and genuinely caring. We’re very grateful they were available on a weekend and would absolutely trust them again.”
“Dorcas and her family took such great care of Daisy! I loved the photo updates, and they were very thorough in asking for care instructions for Daisy and following them. They were also extremely kind and welcoming.”
“Very responsive and friendly. The home was clean and well secured. I was provided updates and pictures multiple times a day. Highly recommended. Thanks”
“Brilliant as always! Megan was super understanding because our flights got super delayed and she came to the rescue and we didn’t have to worry about our pup. We never have to worry with Megan. It’s like leaving our furry with family 😊”
“Juan was amazing and flexible… I really appreciated his service and that of Rover. It was my first time using the app and saved me in a pinch. I had to fly and found Juan who was available last minute and came through. My brother dipped off and picked up the dog and said nothing but good things about Juan. Thanks buddy… definitely recommend and will be using him and Rover in the future.”
About: I’ve had hands-on experience caring for many different kinds of animals, from dogs and cats to reptiles and farm animals. I’ve worked with animals of all sizes and ages, including small breeds, large breeds, seniors, newborns requiring bottle-feeding, and animals with disabilities or special needs. I also have experience fostering dogs and kittens, as well as providing attentive care to animals requiring medications and critical, around-the-clock care. My farm experience has given me the opportunity to work with a variety of animals and understand their different needs and personalities. Whether your pet is energetic, elderly, nervous, recovering, or needs extra attention, I’m dedicated to providing patient, loving, and dependable care tailored to each animal. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to spend with your animals! I'm available for boarding on weekends and weekdays after 3:30 PM. I’ll be happy to give your pets plenty of attention, playtime, and care while you're away. I have an apartment with plenty of space where I’m accompanied by two friendly kittens who are fully vaccinated and have no exposure to other animals or the outdoors. I regularly clean and disinfect my home to maintain a safe, sanitary environment. I also have plenty of nearby hiking and walking areas for pets who enjoy outdoor activities. My apartment community offers dog parks separated by size, providing a safe place for dogs to exercise and socialize. For cats and other animals, I’m patient and gentle when building trust. If a pet needs to be separated from my own animals, I can provide a separate, comfortable space and make sure they receive the individual attention and care they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m happy to follow their established routines and care instructions. This can include crate training, scheduled bathroom breaks, physical activity, feeding times, medication administration, and other necessary care procedures. My goal is to keep each pet comfortable, safe, and on the routine they are familiar with while their owners are away.
“Sierra was amazing and has a lovely family. They took care of my boy, very responsive, great communication, took great videos and pictures with updates. Went on walks which my boy loves. i can tell he really liked them cuz he turned back to say goodbye to all of them. I will definitely be using her again.”
“Darryl and Janice made our experience with them very special, we felt very comfortable leaving our Dog with them.They are very professional in their handling of Dogs. We will definitely be using their services again soon. I recommend to everyone that you should board your Dog with Darryl and Janice.”
“Friendly, knowledgeable, updated me while I left my dog with her for a few days. She will se us again and I will recommend her .my dog needs to be trained and he came back home well behaved. Thank you”
“I could not recommend Meena enough! She took wonderful care of my two dogs for 7 days. One of our dogs is a rescue with separation anxiety and insecurity. It took him 2-3 days to settle in, and unfortunately he also bit her at one point. Despite this, Meena remained patient and kind, and communicated promptly with me about the situation. By the end of the stay, he was comfortable and followed her around everywhere. Our other dog also had a great time as he came back calm and happy. I'd trust her with my dogs again without hesitation and recommend her highly to anyone.”
“Patti is the best caretaker for my dog. I have tried a few dog sitters on Rover, and she is the best. She gives daily daily updates on how my dog is doing and my dog looks happy and content in the photos. I am always nervous to leave my dog because she is a special needs dog, but Patti makes sure she is well cared for, even going beyond the call of duty to express her bladder since she is an IVDD survivor and can’t urinate on her own. Patti is amazing. Thank you, Patti!!!”
“This was my first time using Rover for my senior dog. I had a lot of anxiety leaving her home while we were heading out of state for a family trip. My dog was just recently diagnosed with dementia and her episodes were getting worse and more frequent. I did a lot of research and came across Nutan. Their specialty with senior dogs and dogs with medical conditions is what ultimately led me to go with them and let me tell you it was an amazing experience from start to finish. They were willing to take care of Maya and be there for her every step of the way. They remained in touch and sent me pictures very often to check in on her. It definitely eased the burden and anxiety I had with traveling and leaving her. She watched the sunset, had play dates with their dog, and had some yummy treats every day. I can tell Maya already misses them. If I ever go on a long distance trip again I will 100% be using them again.”

About: While I never grew up with cats I have had the experience of finding a new love for them! My dad got a cat rescue and I have enjoyed working slowly with her to make her comfortable enough to jump into my lap-which was a HUGE step. I enjoy being a space for cats to be comfortable enough to trust me. I am patient and I understand their body language thanks to my experience with my dad’s cat. I feel confident that I could handle your animal with care and provide the best environment for them to feel safe.
“Samantha did a wonderful job watching my cat, Lucky, over the weekend! She kept me updated regularly, which gave me great peace of mind, and it was clear she genuinely cared for him. Lucky was well looked after and happy when I returned. I’d highly recommend Samantha to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Amazing sitter!! Sent me pictures everyday to keep me updated on my little one. He was well taken care of with her. Would definitely recommend and would trust to leave him with her again! 🥹”
“Danielle has been absolutely wonderful! We first met her for a meet & greet earlier this week before booking our first drop-in, and right away we felt comfortable with her. She’s so kind, and you can genuinely tell how much she loves and cares for animals. Today she came by for an hour to let Shane and Parker out for a potty break, and she went above and beyond by spending extra time with them. We really appreciated that and loved knowing our boys were getting some extra attention and company while we were away. We’re so thankful we found Danielle and feel completely comfortable having her care for our dogs. We’ll definitely be booking with her again! ❤️🐾”

“Douglas is a gem! He has such a pleasant and calm demeanor that even our scaredy cat came right to him to ask for affection. We were truly amazed and felt at ease knowing our cats were in Douglas' care. We will happily hire him again soon!”
“Quetzaly is a WONDERFUL sitter. I prefaced my request by saying I have high expectations for sitters, and that I like a certain level of care for my 3 cats. She said she treats all her clients the same way she does her own pets (as her children) and follows instructions exactly - and she did not disappoint! She got to know each of our cats’ unique personalities and cared for them appropriately. I am extremely satisfied with her work. We will absolutely be hiring her again! She communicates extremely well and provides detailed notes and pictures. Our cats adored her!!”
About: I’ve been a cat owner for the past 7 years and currently have two cats of my own, so I’m very familiar with their unique personalities and routines! I have experience with feeding, litter box care, playtime, and giving cats plenty of attention while also respecting when they need their own space. I know cats can take some time to warm up to new people, and I’m happy to be patient and let them get comfortable with me at their own pace. I’ll treat your cats with the same love and attention I give my own!
“She’s the best pet sitter I’ve ever had!! Amazing personality and truly loves animals and puts her all into making them feel comfortable away from home. She updated me every chance she got and it made me feel peace of mind about where my cat was and what he’s up to. My cat is usually shy and afraid around new people but immediately warmed up to her on Day 2! Lynna is very flexible and punctual as well which was nice. Definitely recommend her as your pet sitter!!”

I am a fellow dog owner with extensive experience that ranges from house sitting cats and dogs to managing high energy environments with up to four dogs at once. Because I understand firsthand the daily routines and unique personalities of animals, I treat your pets with the exact same patience and care I give my own. My organized schedule ensures your home is fully respected and your furry family members receive dedicated companionship while you are away. As a PhD student, my weekends are completely free for pet care. I love balancing fun, active time with animals alongside quiet study hours during their downtime. I’ve managed everything from single cats to a pack of four dogs. I’ll give your pets the structured, reliable companionship they need while keeping your home perfectly respected. When staying in your home, I treat your space and your pets with the utmost respect. I strictly abide by all house rules, seamlessly maintain your pet’s established routines, and am always happy to keep things tidy by doing quick chores like vacuuming up pet hair or cleaning up litter before you get back.
About: Since the age of 10, I have been the primary caretaker for my two cats, Garfield and Jake, a role that has taught me invaluable lessons in responsibility and compassion. Over the years, I’ve developed a deep understanding of feline behavior, from recognizing subtle signs of stress or illness to addressing common issues like scratching or dietary preferences. I’ve honed my skills in creating a nurturing environment for them, ensuring their physical and emotional well-being. This hands-on experience has not only strengthened my problem-solving abilities but also cultivated a patient and empathetic approach to caregiving that I apply to all aspects of my life.
About: In addition to my experience with dogs, I have fostered cats in my community, providing them with food, playtime, and a comfortable space to thrive. I’ve also had the pleasure of caring for three cats for a friend, ensuring they feel safe and loved while their owner is away. Each cat has its own unique personality and needs, and I strive to create a warm and welcoming environment for all. My commitment to treating every pet with compassion ensures they feel cherished and secure while in my care.

“I dropped my puppy off with Kristina and she was ready for our appointment waiting on the porch. Kristina is very friendly and gave updates on Dutchess stay. She is consistent with helping me potty train her as well. We have only had 1 accident since her stay. We will definitely see her soon.”
“Elizabeth was amazing!! She was a quick responder and I know Leo was loved and well looked after by all the pictures she sent of him! Would definitely book again with her!!”
“Winnie is incredibly kind and thoughtful. She took the time to learn about my dog, Zoe, before even meeting her, which I really appreciated. Zoe immediately felt comfortable with Winnie — she played with her and even laid next to her during their time together, which says a lot! Winnie provided regular updates, which gave me great peace of mind. I would absolutely love to have Winnie watch Zoe again whenever I’m not able to. Highly recommend!”

He not only took excellent care of Conchita but also went the extra mile by sending adorable photos throughout the day, providing peace of mind. Juan's professionalism and genuine love for animals make him the ideal pet sitter. Five stars without a doubt!”

About: I have been a life long dog lover. I grew up on a ranch with many animals which is where my love if animals started. I have always been the go-to person for friends and families who need help dog sitting while they are away. I have experience and background clearance through Riverside County Sheriffs Animal Services as a volunteer and dog foster. When your pet is in my care, they will be treated as my own with love and structure. I am a full time teleworker. I am home with my own dog daily. I am able to tend to the dog’s needs anytime and regularly take short lunch walks to manage energy. I have a fenced yard and multiple kennels in the home, if needed. I prefer to have dogs that can be comfortable in the space without being in a kennel, but it is available if the pup prefers a kennel. If I am caring for the pet in another home, regular check-ins in a scheduled basis.
About: I grew up in a home where both of my parents were dog trainers and ran a boarding and breeding business, so I’ve been around dogs my entire life and learned a lot about proper care, behavior, and handling. I’m confident with dogs of all temperaments and understand how to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I treat every pet like my own and give them plenty of attention and affection. I truly love animals and always prioritize their well-being. I’m already committed to my 10k steps daily walks, and will be committed to feeding, playtime, and providing lots of love and attention. I enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I care for every dog like they’re my own. I make sure they stay on their regular routine with feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, fresh water, and lots of love and attention. I also send photos/videos and updates so pet parents can feel at ease while they’re away.
About: I've grown up around dogs my whole life and have been walking and caring for friends and family's dogs for years. I know how to give each pup the attention and exercise they need. My daily routine is very flexible. I'm available every morning and evening for walks, and I build my whole schedule around your dog's needs. Whether it's a quick potty break or a longer adventure, I'll make sure your pup gets the exercise and attention they need. I always care for pets in the client's home. I follow any special instructions you give me, keep your house clean, and make sure all doors and gates are securely closed before I leave. Your pet's safety and your home are my top priority.
About: I have about a year of hands-on experience caring for my brother’s dog, Arlo, an unneutered Goldendoodle. I’ve helped with walks, feeding, playtime, keeping him company, and making sure he gets plenty of attention and exercise. I especially enjoy dog walks and am comfortable with longer walks, keeping dogs engaged with plenty of sniffing and exploring, while also making sure they’re safe and comfortable. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. I’d love to give your pup the same care and attention I give Arlo! I work full-time from home, typically from 8 AM to 4 PM. Since my work is primarily technical and involves a lot of independent programming, my schedule isn’t filled with back-to-back meetings. This gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the day to take breaks and give dogs the attention they need. I’m able to take dogs out for multiple walks, potty breaks, and playtime throughout the day. Working from home also means I can keep an eye on them and make sure they’re comfortable, happy, and well cared for while I’m working. I want every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I have experience caring for my brother’s unneutered Goldendoodle, and I’m comfortable caring for unneutered dogs and puppies as well. For boarding, I keep a close eye on the dogs throughout the day, make sure they get plenty of walks, playtime, and attention, and give them time to relax when they need it. I’m careful about keeping doors and gates secure and making sure dogs are always supervised, especially when they’re outside or around other dogs. I also like to follow each dog’s normal routine as much as possible, including their feeding, walking, and sleeping schedule. My goal is for both the dog and their owner to feel comfortable and confident while they’re in my care.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 7 years old, and I’m a true lifelong dog lover. My own precious pup passed away last year, and with my home now a little too quiet, I’m here to give your dog all the love, attention, and companionship they deserve. I speak fluent “dog,” give elite-level belly rubs, and I will absolutely tell your pup they’re a good boy or girl at least 200 times a day. Your dog will be cared for, talked to, spoiled with affection, and treated like family. I’m a retired PE teacher who’s home daily, which means your dog gets my full attention and care all day long. Every now and then, my grandkids come over so I can spoil them just as much as I spoil the dogs—but don’t worry, they’re gentle, respectful, and love animals too. Your dog will be treated like family here. ❤️ I have a large, fully fenced backyard with plenty of room to explore, plus a pool area that stays secure at all times.

“Patti did it again, gave my doggie a safe and happy place to stay. When we got there, Sophie ran right up to Patti, no gestation at all. She remembered her and obviously was happy to be there.

About: Pets are family, and I know that firsthand! I’ve been around dogs my entire life and couldn’t imagine it any other way. Growing up, we had two energetic and lovable miniature schnauzers, Shaggy and Betty, who brought so much joy to our home. After they passed, I adopted my sweet girl, Cali, two years ago. She’s my adventure buddy—we go on daily walks and runs, and she keeps me on my toes! I’m friendly, active, and caring, and I know how important it is to have someone trustworthy looking after your pets when you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or making sure they’re well taken care of, I’ll treat your fur babies as if they were my own. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets and give them all the love and attention they deserve! Since I work fully remote, I have the flexibility to incorporate pet care into my daily routine. My own dog, Cali, is a big part of my day—we go on morning and evening walks, and I take regular breaks to give her attention, play, or just check in. This setup allows me to provide consistent care, whether it’s feeding, walking, or just giving pets the love and attention they need. I can easily adjust my schedule to accommodate drop-ins, walks, or extended stays, ensuring your pets are well cared for while you’re away! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or my client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. In my home, I provide a pet-friendly environment with plenty of playtime, walks, and cuddle sessions. I follow their usual routine as closely as possible to minimize stress. In a client’s home, I respect their space and their pet’s established routine. I make sure to follow all instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications (if needed), and any special requests. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just providing companionship, I always ensure that pets receive the care and attention they deserve. My goal is to make them feel at ease while their owners are away!
About: Hello 👋 I’m Brittany — a professional pet sitter and dog walker originally from New York with a huge love for animals. I have veterinary assistant training, dog training assistant experience, and I’ve volunteered at numerous animal shelters throughout my life. Beyond my professional experience, I’ve been around animals my entire life. I grew up spending time on my grandparents’ horse farm in upstate New York, helping care for the horses and other animals. Over the years, I’ve personally owned and cared for a wide variety of pets, from dogs and cats to small animals, birds, reptiles, and farm animals. Dogs and horses have always held a special place in my heart. As a mom to a teenager and 5 fur babies of my own, I know pets are family. I treat every animal like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. 🐾 I have a flexible schedule during the week. I’m only unavailable from 7:30–9:00 AM and 2:30–4:00 PM on weekdays for my daughter’s school drop-off and pick-up. I come prepared for every visit with my own utility belt stocked with all-natural treats and waste bags, plus my own leash, ice-cold water, and a travel water bowl. I also bring a tennis ball for playtime, a brush for pups who enjoy it, and paw balm when needed. 🐾 You’ll usually see me arrive for visits by e-bike 🚲, but I use my car if weather conditions call for it. I’m also comfortable caring for large, strong, and high-energy dogs.

About: I cared for my first puppy when I was 7 years old, and ever since then I've been a friend to dogs. I especially love to play, run, chase, and walk with energetic pets. Of course, providing affection, attention, and treats are a given with me. I have a very flexible schedule right now, with no other jobs at the moment and plenty of time to travel and spend quality time with your little ones! Dogs love walking in their free time, and so do I. I am especially free during the day, perfect for typical work shifts when your puppies or kitties might otherwise be alone. I always follow pet care instructions to a tee, including what spaces they may safely hang out in, what they shouldn't eat or play with, and how they act in various conditions. I want them to be safw and comfortable, always! As if nothing has changed at all from their usual beloved home.
About: As a registered veterinary technician (nurse) I have the background and education to give you the peace of mind that your fur babies are well cared for. I have experience caring for all animals from pocket pets to livestock and everything in between! I am also fear free certified so I know the signs of stress and how to help your pets feel the most comfortable. I just graduated from college so I am completely available for all your pets needs. If you need a one time visit or a regular schedule I am here. I will bring all my expertise into their own home, keeping their routine consistent. I love to play, cuddle, or sit on opposite sides of the house whatever they prefer.
About: Hi! I’m Analise, a college student finishing up my last semester, which means I have plenty of flexibility and time to give your pets the attention and care they deserve! I’ve been caring for dogs my entire life, from energetic puppies to sweet senior pups. I especially love working with high energy dogs, anxious dogs, and pets who need medication or extra care. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable adjusting my care to each pet’s individual needs and personality. As a full-time student with college classes three days a week and a part-time job, I’ve learned how to manage my time effectively. I carefully plan my schedule to make sure I can fit pet care in between my other responsibilities. On my days off from college or work, I’m fully available for longer visits, walks, or extended care. On busier days, I still have time between classes or shifts for quick check-ins, feeding, or short walks. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy, so I always make sure it fits smoothly into my weekly routine I’m very careful and always pay close attention to each dog’s individual needs. Whether I’m in my home or the client’s, I make sure the pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I follow any specific instructions and routines closely, making sure the animal gets the right food, exercise, and attention. I’m also loving and playful, so pets not only feel looked after, they have fun too! I treat every dog like they’re my own.
About: I have a deep love and respect for every pet I care for. I adopted a sick puppy, and through patience and nurturing, he has blossomed into a beloved member of my family. This experience has taught me the profound bond that can develop between a pet and their caregiver, highlighting the importance of kindness and understanding in every interaction. I’ve also gained experience by showing care and compassion to animals in need around me, making sure they feel safe and comfortable. Each animal has its own unique personality and needs, and I strive to create a warm and welcoming environment for them all. My commitment to treating every pet with compassion ensures they feel loved and secure while in my care. I work remotely as a freelancer, which gives me the flexibility to integrate pet care into my daily routine seamlessly. This allows me plenty of time to spend with furry friends, playing, cuddling, and ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve. My schedule enables me to provide a nurturing and engaging environment, ensuring that every pet feels comfortable and cared for throughout the day. When caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I prioritize their safety and comfort above all else. I follow their food schedule diligently to ensure they maintain a healthy routine. Engaging with pets through playtime and interactive activities is essential, as it keeps them stimulated and happy. Since I do not have pets of my own, I can provide a safe and distraction-free environment for them. Living in an apartment allows me to easily take them for walks outside in green areas, where they can explore and enjoy some fresh air. If needed, I can safely crate pets to provide them with a secure space to relax. My home is a welcoming environment filled with love and attention, ensuring every pet feels safe and at ease. Building trust is key, and I take the time to understand each pet's unique personality and needs, creating a positive experience for both them and their owners.

I don’t have professional experience but I’ve been dog sitting for my loved ones for a couple of years now.

I love hanging out with them it gives me peace and comfort. Taking breaks and looking after them is inbuilt in me since I was little so anything related to dogs will always make me happy. I will take care of the clients pers in their home by their own rules. If they have set ground rules for their pets I will follow them strictly. I understand that every pet owner has special ground rules for their pets so it is my duty to respect them and follow them as per their request.
About: I have grown up with dogs, and have enjoyed taking care of friends and family members dogs of all ages.

I am happy to care for pets young and old, and will always do my best to review all of your pet’s specified needs! I’m currently working in a flexible job with often changing hours, so I am able to pick up opportunities for a consistent routine or something temporary. I will look after your pet by ensuring all gates are closed, and doors are opened very carefully! I have experience watching some “escape artist” dogs, so ensuring dogs are safely in their home and the backyard is secured is a big priority for me.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my entire life. I have been around German shepards, pitbulls, and all of the more "intimidating" breeds. So you can trust that I will get the job done and make sure your pet has an awesome time while doing it. I have bathed and walked more dogs than I can count and have owned several dogs in the past.

“Kathleen did a wonderful job with our dog, Tucker, while we were away for almost a week. We got regular pictures, videos and updates and felt very comfortable leaving him with her for the first time. He had a nice, big house to stay in, a large yard to play in and doggie friends to play with. We will definitely be booking again.”
“Absolutely ideal. I think my dogs enjoyed their night away from home as much as we enjoyed our get-away. Parnian sent so many pictures of our dogs lounging, eating and playing. I feel like she loved them like her own dogs. I hope they get the chance to stay with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Breauna is the best! I am SO grateful that Breauna was not only available and responsive to a last minute request, but was also super supportive and chill when I was trying to frantically find someone to care for my dog. While my dog is chill, he has very bad separation anxiety and cannot be left alone. On top of that, he was getting over a cough and couldn’t be around other dogs. I am grateful that Breauna was able to care for my special boy with such care and ease! Would recommend to anyone seeking care for their fur baby! Will definitely book again next time I am by base!”
“Martin and his son were excellent. Communication was consistent, and they kept us updated with pictures, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dogs were being cared for with the same level of attention and affection we would give them ourselves. Our dogs came back happy, relaxed, and clearly had a great time — especially being able to interact with their dogs as well. Martin and his son were responsive, reliable, and genuinely caring. We’re very grateful they were available on a weekend and would absolutely trust them again.”
“Dorcas and her family took such great care of Daisy! I loved the photo updates, and they were very thorough in asking for care instructions for Daisy and following them. They were also extremely kind and welcoming.”
“Brilliant as always! Megan was super understanding because our flights got super delayed and she came to the rescue and we didn’t have to worry about our pup. We never have to worry with Megan. It’s like leaving our furry with family 😊”
“Juan was amazing and flexible… I really appreciated his service and that of Rover. It was my first time using the app and saved me in a pinch. I had to fly and found Juan who was available last minute and came through. My brother dipped off and picked up the dog and said nothing but good things about Juan. Thanks buddy… definitely recommend and will be using him and Rover in the future.”
About: I’ve had hands-on experience caring for many different kinds of animals, from dogs and cats to reptiles and farm animals. I’ve worked with animals of all sizes and ages, including small breeds, large breeds, seniors, newborns requiring bottle-feeding, and animals with disabilities or special needs. I also have experience fostering dogs and kittens, as well as providing attentive care to animals requiring medications and critical, around-the-clock care. My farm experience has given me the opportunity to work with a variety of animals and understand their different needs and personalities. Whether your pet is energetic, elderly, nervous, recovering, or needs extra attention, I’m dedicated to providing patient, loving, and dependable care tailored to each animal. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to spend with your animals! I'm available for boarding on weekends and weekdays after 3:30 PM. I’ll be happy to give your pets plenty of attention, playtime, and care while you're away. I have an apartment with plenty of space where I’m accompanied by two friendly kittens who are fully vaccinated and have no exposure to other animals or the outdoors. I regularly clean and disinfect my home to maintain a safe, sanitary environment. I also have plenty of nearby hiking and walking areas for pets who enjoy outdoor activities. My apartment community offers dog parks separated by size, providing a safe place for dogs to exercise and socialize. For cats and other animals, I’m patient and gentle when building trust. If a pet needs to be separated from my own animals, I can provide a separate, comfortable space and make sure they receive the individual attention and care they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m happy to follow their established routines and care instructions. This can include crate training, scheduled bathroom breaks, physical activity, feeding times, medication administration, and other necessary care procedures. My goal is to keep each pet comfortable, safe, and on the routine they are familiar with while their owners are away.
“Darryl and Janice made our experience with them very special, we felt very comfortable leaving our Dog with them.They are very professional in their handling of Dogs. We will definitely be using their services again soon. I recommend to everyone that you should board your Dog with Darryl and Janice.”
“Friendly, knowledgeable, updated me while I left my dog with her for a few days. She will se us again and I will recommend her .my dog needs to be trained and he came back home well behaved. Thank you”
“I could not recommend Meena enough! She took wonderful care of my two dogs for 7 days. One of our dogs is a rescue with separation anxiety and insecurity. It took him 2-3 days to settle in, and unfortunately he also bit her at one point. Despite this, Meena remained patient and kind, and communicated promptly with me about the situation. By the end of the stay, he was comfortable and followed her around everywhere. Our other dog also had a great time as he came back calm and happy. I'd trust her with my dogs again without hesitation and recommend her highly to anyone.”
“This was my first time using Rover for my senior dog. I had a lot of anxiety leaving her home while we were heading out of state for a family trip. My dog was just recently diagnosed with dementia and her episodes were getting worse and more frequent. I did a lot of research and came across Nutan. Their specialty with senior dogs and dogs with medical conditions is what ultimately led me to go with them and let me tell you it was an amazing experience from start to finish. They were willing to take care of Maya and be there for her every step of the way. They remained in touch and sent me pictures very often to check in on her. It definitely eased the burden and anxiety I had with traveling and leaving her. She watched the sunset, had play dates with their dog, and had some yummy treats every day. I can tell Maya already misses them. If I ever go on a long distance trip again I will 100% be using them again.”
“Fabulous! Leaving Baloo with Shakira was the best decision I could have made!! She took him in like family would. I got pictures of him throughout the weekend with such a big doggie smile that I was afraid he wouldn’t want to leave!! It looks like he had a great weekend with her. Baloo is a big, giant mastiff pit bull marshmallow, but a lot of people are intimidated by his size. Not her! She let him snuggle right up to her. I DEFINITELY recommend her.”
“Alexandra was amazing!!! She is incredibly kind and loving. She took care of our girl like she was her own. Koko often refuses to eat when we are away, but Alexandra persisted in attempting various methods to get her to eat. She communicated and sent photos several times a day. She has a nice big yard where Koko could play and sunbathe. The peace of mind we felt that Koko was well cared for allowed my family the ability to enjoy our trip and not worry, which is priceless.”
“Rachel was absolutely amazing with my two pugs, Roxy and Kobe! This was my first time leaving them with a dog sitter, so I was naturally a little nervous, but she made the entire experience completely stress-free. Her communication was outstanding from start to finish. She always responded quickly to my messages, kept me updated on how my dogs were doing, and sent me plenty of pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Anytime I had a question, she answered right away and made sure I knew how Roxy and Kobe were doing. Before their stay, we met in person, and I also got to meet her adorable Golden Retriever, Chubbs. He is such a sweet and friendly dog, and Roxy and Kobe got along so well with him. It was comforting to know they were in such a welcoming environment. Rachel is kind, caring, professional, and truly loves the dogs she watches. I felt completely comfortable leaving Roxy and Kobe with her, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. I highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and attentive dog sitter. Thank you, Rachel, for taking such wonderful care of Roxy and Kobe!”
“I recently had the pleasure of booking a dog sitter for my pup, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the start, she took excellent care of my dog, providing regular updates that put my mind at ease. It was clear that my dog was happy and well-loved during their time together. Her attentiveness and genuine affection for animals made all the difference. When I picked my dog up, it was evident that she had a great time and was well taken care of. This was my first time using her services, and I will definitely be booking her again for future events. Highly recommend!”
