“Danielle was so good with my baby and VERY patient. She has lots of her own babies to play with which was nice as well. She was very communicative and I felt comfortable with all of her updates. I would definitely use her again!”
“Grisel was amazing! It was Bran’s first time being boarded through Rover so we had our initial worries about how he would do. Grisel’s updates and photos of him were something that we looked forward to everyday, she sent so many updates on his playing, feeding and walking time and was very understanding of his occasional shyness. We will definitely be booking her services again the next time we are out of town! I am so happy and relieved that we made a good choice for our first rover experience.”
“Achara was Phenomenal. I cannot express the amount of gratitude and relief I feel boarding my dog with her. I received constant updates and pictures while I was out of town and tips since her dog is the same breed. She socialized my dog and I cannot tell you the amount of peace I felt knowing he was in great hands. I would HIGHLY recommend Achara and she really does go above and beyond!”
“Doh was an absolute lifesaver taking care of Dodger last minute. She was very responsive, attentive, and made me feel completely at ease during his stay. This was Dodger’s first time boarding overnight with someone else, and she did an amazing job keeping me updated with pictures and messages letting me know how he was doing. I truly appreciated her communication and care, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“This was my second time booking with Martha, and she was wonderful once again. She was very flexible with drop-off and pick-up, provided regular updates, and took great care of my dog while I was away. I felt completely at ease and would definitely book with Martha again!”
“Roy was very accommodating to our needs for our doggie Onyx and was very responsive by text. He sent us lots of photos of our guy, which was very comforting. We highly recommend him for your doggos stay!”
“Best ever! We have a special needs dog, a rescue who had been abused and attacked by other dogs and they treated her so well she felt at home from day 1. We are so thankful for everything. We got pictures, she borrowed a jacket when it was cold and rainy and she went on long walks. Best experience ever!”
“I really appreciated Jared. He sent tons of pics of my furry little family member. Love it. Kylie. I know enjoyed her stay with Jared. I so look forward to utilizing Jared again”
“Alexandra is fantastic! She took great care of Tokyn and she sent photos/videos frequently while we were away for 3 weeks...keeping me updated. It was clear that Tokyn was having a great time and was enjoying the other dogs she was spending time with. This was the first time I had left my dog for this long and Alexandra created a great experience. We will definitely use her again. ❤️”
“Joel was awesome with our senior pup! He was responsive, diligent about walking him, and sent lots of photos even for a short trip. Will definitely book with him again - best of all, our dog seemed really comfortable with him!”
“I was nervous leaving Ollie with a new sitter since he’s so used to having me or my fiancé home with him, but Ekaterina was amazing. She sent lots of photos and regular updates, which really put my mind at ease. When I picked him up, he looked happy, relaxed, and very calm. It was clear he was well cared for. I would definitely recommend Ekaterina and would happily book with her again!”
“We were so pleased with our experience working with Jennifer! Our dog came back so happy and we could tell she was definitely well taken care of and loved! We were nervous to leave our dog over NYE with all of the fireworks but Jennifer did an excellent job of helping her to feel comfortable. She also provided great daily updates. So happy to have found her and will definitely look to her again for future stays.”
“Patty is amazing. Very kind. Very thoughtful. And, truly loves dogs. She treated our pup with the highest of care and took excellent care of her. She’s responsive and extremely accommodating. We had some travel issues and she was very helpful and flexible. Can’t say enough about her. Looking forward to Kala staying with her again soon.”
“We dropped off our lil guy for 2 weeks over the holidays and couldn’t have been happier with Bari. She was giving us constant updates and pictures. It was a great peace of mind knowing he was having fun and being cared for!”
“Matt gave outstanding care and attention to my dog. Thorough in his updates and careful to follow my requested care instructions. His pet dog was easy for mine to get along with.”

“Danielle is amazing! We are returned customers and she’s been a pleasure every time. She has amazing communication and sends pictures of our babies. Thanks!!”
“Erika was a great sitter for our cats. She came by exactly when she said she would, took care to clean out their litter box, checked on their food, and gave them some attention. It's easy to ignore cats, especially when they are shy, but she took the time to sit with them and get to know them. We could tell they loved having her there because she sent a ton of photos to show that they were playing and getting lots of attention. She even helped out with watering our plants. I would definitely recommend her!”
“I absolutely love booking Elizabeth! She takes such amazing care of my cats and truly treats them like her own. She’s incredibly thoughtful and attentive to their well-being, and her updates always give me such peace of mind. Elizabeth is super communicative, reliable, and always sends lots of adorable photos, which I really appreciate. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter! Highly recommend!”
“Kacey and Liz took care of our babies and we couldn't be more happy to have booked them. They were very sweet and patient with our cats and we were left with no worry during our trip. I will be booking them again!”
“Natalie is awesome. She has done a few drop ins for my cat. I used to leave him home alone, but he wouldn’t eat well and nervous when I got home. I love now that I come home and he is as content as can be. He eats and uses his litter box. He isn’t nervous and I love that I get so many pictures that I don’t feel guilty about taking the dog and leaving the cat lol. I think he’s getting as spoiled as the dog. Natalie is awesome.”
“Michelle was wonderful! She took the time to get to know my cats and their very different personalities. Communication was fast and easy, and she had great photos of my kitties.”
“If I could give Holly 10 stars I would. She was so thoughtful and thorough on all her drop ins and communicated promptly and attentively and really showed her passion for loving animals especially my Sunny! ❤️ Fully recommend her ?!!!”
“Jenna was amazing! Super responsive and kept me updated while she cared for my kitty! She’s a cat whisperer btw lol, my cat is normally very scared of new people but she happily greeted Jenna on the first visit. Definitely recommend to others!”
About: I've had my own cats of all kinds since the 1980's and have pet sit for cats of all kinds since 1997 when I had my own house cleaning service and would pet sit for some of my house cleaning clients when they went out of town. I can administer oral and topical medications, I have some grooming experience, and have administered injectable hydrating fluids to one of my cats who had kidney disease.
“Michelle did an excellent job watching my cat. I love how she sent lots of pictures and she wrote details about each visit. My cat is super shy and by about mid-week Michelle sent pics of her petting and even holding my cat. I could tell my little one was in good hands. I’d hire Michelle again for sure.”
“Wow! Talk about going the extra mile! Davina is amazing! Our cat was recently diagnosed with diabetes and this was our first trip away with him needing two shots daily. Day one Davina instantly calmed my hesitation nerves with the care updates, photos and playtime she provided our cat! She will be on speed dial for all of our travel!! Truly the best.”
“It’s so nice to know my kitties and home are taken care of the same as I would myself. The pics and great communication give me peace of mind while being away from home. Thank you, Sarah!”
About: I absolutely love cats and have had two of my own. My first, Stormy, was a mid-age rescue cat who lived for about 7 years with me before she passed. Stormy had renal disease so I am familiar with all of the treatments and IV’s necessary if your cat is in need of any type of extra loving! I currently have an (almost) two year old, Poppy, and boy are kittens something else! I would love to care for cat(s) whenever you need!
“Markita is awesome! She checked in on my two kitties over the holidays and was super responsive and clearly cared about their wellbeing. She even offered to go out and pick up more cat food when she saw the bag was low, which was so above and beyond what I would ask and was very thoughtful. I would totally recommend her”
“Aimee was wonderful! She cared for mine and my husband’s two cats while we were away. One of our cats is known for not being so friendly towards strangers, but she took to Aimee right away, which gave me a lot of reassurance. She provided excellent care for our cats and I hope she is available again next time we need a sitter.”
“Mel was great with our cats! She sent great pictures and videos and provided us with detailed updates about the pets' behavior while we were away. I especially liked that she spent a good amount of time playing with all 4, plus she gave us some ideas to improve our dinner time routine! Overall very pleased with her pet sitting.”
About: I have immense cat care experience, growing up my family fostered kittens. My whole life I have had a cat, growing up I volunteered at a cat rescue that focused on cats with disabilities as well as ferals. I understand that every cat is different and cats deserve pet sitters too! Please reach out if you have any questions! (picture of my fat and happy cats for peace of mind!)

Perfect for high energy dogs - Woodlake
Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
“Heath Bar didn’t make it easy - he barked the entire time at Danielle’s unless she was there with him, I k ew he had separation anxiety but the only time it presented for the last several years was while he was alone in the car. His being alone in the house was not a problem for him. My take away is to be certain someone will be at home with him for most of the time he will be in someone else’s care. Danielle was very responsive and kept me informed the day Heath was in her care.”
“Grisel and Amy are very kind. They allowed us to do a meet & greet before we left our fur baby with them for the day. We received plenty of photos and updates. They were very understanding with his puppy behaviors, which we appreciate because we know younger dogs can be a lot. Their house is set up well and they have a large yard for play. Would definitely book again!”
“Tanisha was fantastic with my dog Morty. My dog is reactive and nervous around new dogs, and she was willing to do whatever it takes to make sure he would feel comfortable with her and her dog. We did a meet and greet, followed by a test overnight board and test daycare. It was incredible to see how well my dog settled in with her. You can tell she cares a lot about the dogs she watches. I got a lot of pictures and videos of my dog while he was with Tanisha (more than I've ever gotten from a sitter). I highly recommend Tanisha!”

I have a fenced yard with a nearby park in Woodlake neighborhood for outdoor fun. But most days we will be cuddling on the couch.
“I highly recommend Joel! My old girl was calm and happy after her day stay. Extremely considerate of Lola’s needs. She’s a picky pup and can be stressed by strangers, but not with Joel. Didn’t have to worry about her safety or well-being. A great help and huge relief.”
“Probably should warn people more of the level of anxiety he can get, were generally never out of site with one another and very rarely does He get left behind. Thanks for your time, there was only so much you could do”

“Julie and her sister Sandy are wonderful. My miniature Dachshund, Bruno, has been going to their home for doggie daycare for some time now. They have gone above and beyond taking him with very little notice and picking him up and returning him. I feel very confident about his safety while in their care. Recently, I had an emergency and they picked him up without any notice and I boarded him with them for 3 days. This was the first time he was away from home and his first night he was nervous, but they gave him lots of reassurance and comfort. I highly recommend them to anyone that is looking for a loving and caring doggie daycare and boarding in a home environment.”
“Wunna was amazing! The moment our dog, Shadow, met him, they got along and Shadow trusted him immediately. He was flexible and accommodating of our schedule. He responded to our messages quickly too, which we really appreciated.”
“Jeniffer goes above and beyond when caring for our pup. From walks to play time to helping us out with extended care when a family emergency occurred, we’re very happy we’ve found her. Our pup gets excited when he gets within a mile of her house and knowing he’s in good hands makes all the difference.”
“Becky was amazing with our newly adopted fur baby! I had to reach out last minute and she was so willing to help. She took Daisy out for her walks and gave her her medicine and ointments as well as sent me updates throughout their day together ◡̈”
About: I may not have dogs of my own but I sure do love being around them. Before moving I use to volunteer at an animal shelter and I loved it there just to see how dogs were able to have at least a couple of minutes of happiness from pups to seniors. I also foster kitties and have two of my own! I am currently attending nursing school, so can’t fit a full time job into my schedule. This is the best option because it’s something I love and I can still complete my studies! I would first build trust with the animal ensuring they are not frightened by me. Aside from that I love for the owners to tell me more about their pet to allow me to best adjust my skills to accommodate the pet.
“Nelly did a great job taking care of doodle. She was very friendly and responsive! I received pictures, text updates, and a happy dog when I picked him up.”
About: Sacramento sitter with cats and experience in caring for elderly dogs. Home full-time, calm with anxious pets, and reliable for last-minute requests. Comfortable with administering medicine. For a long time, my daily routine centered on my elderly dog, his meals, his medications, his slow morning walks. Since he passed, I've had a lot of time, energy, and love that used to be his and nowhere to put it. My cats at home are sweet but pretty independent. Honestly, they prefer some space from me, and they're perfectly happy when I'm out caring for someone else's pet. I'm home most of the day, my schedule is genuinely open, and pet care isn't something I'm squeezing in around my life. t's where I want to spend the time. I can do midday drop-ins, multiple visits a day, last-minute requests, and weekday walks without it cutting into anything else. Honestly, I'd rather be outside than in. When I'm caring for your pet at your home, expect long walks, park trips, and as much fresh air and exercise as your dog has the legs for. I'm a big believer in tiring a pup out the good way. Real movement, sniff time, and play, rather than letting them snooze on the couch all afternoon. I even make sure senior pups get their sniff time in by making a 20 minute walk around the block last a couple hours with plenty of breaks and water! For cats, I focus on play sessions, brushing, and one-on-one attention before topping off food and water. I do have an apartment if you ever need a place to drop your dog off, but I'll be upfront: I share it with cats, so it's only a fit for calm, cat-friendly pups. For everyone else, I'll happily come to you.
“Anna was so sweet and my dog Deuce was so comfortable with her. He usually has a mini melt down when I leave him but he was so happy. The coursed dinner we attended ended up taking much longer that I anticipated and Anna was so sweet and understanding when we were later to pick up Deuce than what we had scheduled. Can’t wait to use her again!”
About: I love animals which includes pets! I come from a home that has two of the sweetest pitbulls. Moving out I of course got a cat, and she does well with dogs! I also watch my family member’s dogs at my home and they do excellent with her. Each pet is unique in their quirks and what makes this gig especially fun in figuring out what is it. Hire me to give your pet the care they deserve. I currently only work a part time job for 2 days out the week from 11-4pm. However my partner works full time at home and is my helper in this! We have the same values about pets and will ensure amazing care. Big living room area with tons of space to be in and rooms. Closed doors for alone time but most importantly front door with access to street closed off.

“As first-time Rover users, we chose Alexandra and all we can say is Alexandra is the best! She is extremely prompt & communicative and was eager to help us navigate the app and Rover support when we realized we were being charged holiday fee outside of the holiday period. You can tell she genuinely cares about the pets she cares for while the owners are away. Thanks Alex!”
“Andrea has been walking my dog Jack for a a couple of weeks now and he has been so happy with her! He is skiddish and shy, but has taken very well to Andrea, which I think speaks well of her! They walk during lunch and he is so much more calmer in the afternoons and when I get home. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: I absolutely adore dogs and their personalities. I had an older pup of my own, who has been with me all over California. Unfortunately my beautiful girl has passed. Now I have a 1 year old rambunctious little aussiedoodle named Thorin and all he wants do is play. He absolutely loves making new friends. I am always the first one to be called by any friend in need to watch their pets. I’m confident that Thorin and I can give your pet a safe space for them to have fun and you to relax and not worry. I currently work 2 miles from my place of residence. Your dog will usually just go with me to work every day, we have a bed/area set up (pet friendly environment) or if preferred the dog to stay home. My man comes with me, so we do the same for yours. Also, they would be walked first thing in the morning, on my lunch, after work and then again before bed. I have a crate if thats needed for your dog/your dog likes to have his/her own safe space. My house is free to roam for the animals. I have a big backyard they can play in.
About: Ever since I was 10 I've taken care of dogs. I have experience in many different ages of dogs from newborn puppies to full grown. Since it is summer your pets will always fit in my schedule! Saturday and Sunday will be the only days I can't fit your pets in. I will always be willing to feed, clean, play and walk with your pets if they need it. I can stay overnight too as well.
About: Hi there! I am a recent law school graduate currently studying for the bar exam. In addition to growing up with dogs, I also have experience dealing with reactive dogs. For a time I had a rescue dog, Judge, who struggled with aggression, leash reactivity, and general fear/anxiety. Training with him and learning from him made me extremely educated on dog safety, care, and proper protocols when out on walks to ensure a good time for everyone involved. I recently moved to Sacramento after graduating law school, and would love to walk your dog (and maybe even help with some training) while I am studying for the bar exam. Hope to hear from you! My study schedule for the bar is exam is flexible as it is a self-paced course. I normally go for a walk in the mornings before I start my day, but I am free any time to assist! I have a large SUV that I’m happy to take your dog along in for a little adventure! My favorite daily walks in Sac is along the American River and I’d love to bring a pup along. I am also happy to stay local to wherever you live and wherever your dog is most comfortable.
“Grace saved the day! I was too sick to take my dogs out after work but Grace came over with just a couple hours notice to walk my two energetic dogs. She took them on nice long walk and brought them back to me nice and tired. I could tell my dogs felt comfortable with her right away and she was not at all overwhelmed by their high energy. Highly recommend!”
“Raquel was a real treat to meet! She was great with my dog, Molly and was patient with my constant scheduling modifications. Raquel is very punctual with the times I selected and walks through the door at that time. Not a moment to soon or a moment too late. I am very pleased with Raquel's professionalism. I have found Molly's walker!”
About: What sets me apart is my experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. I fostered puppies and adult dogs for four years, which gave me hands-on experience caring for dogs with different personalities, needs, and backgrounds. I also grew up with working dogs, so I am very comfortable handling high-energy breeds and understand the exercise, structure, and attention they require. Whether it's a playful puppy, an active working dog, or a senior pet needing extra patience and care, I adapt to each animal's individual needs. I am confident handling dogs on walks and prioritize safety, consistency, and positive interactions. I am comfortable working with reactive dogs as well :) I am a full time student looking to fill my summer by taking care pets instead of adopting more! I have extremely open availability, whatever your pet needs Ill be there. I wholeheartedly understand the anxiety and stress that can come with leaving your pet in someone else's care, I have those same feelings when it comes to my own pets. Because of that, I will treat your pet as if they were my own, providing them with the same love, attention, and care that I would expect for my animals. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness, along with your peace of mind, are always my top priorities. While I am caring for your pet, I will be readily available by text or phone and happy to provide updates, photos, and videos to help you feel connected and reassured while you're away. 🐾
About: I’m not your average sitter, I work as a rescue pilot, helping relocate dogs across California, and I’ve cared for a wide range of pups from high-energy escape artists to senior dogs needing medication and extra support. I’m calm under pressure, detail-oriented, and genuinely love getting to know each dog’s personality and routine. Whether your dog needs a structured walk, extra patience, or just someone attentive and reliable, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for every step of the way. As a flight instructor and commercial pilot, my schedule is pretty flexible, mostly depending on my students, the weather, and if any pups are needing rescue. Meet & greets $10 within 5 miles, $15 within 10 miles from me! I can crate and transport your dog if need be, otherwise will be caring for them in your home and surrounding area/neighborhood for walks! :)
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 11, including my own family golden retriever and the pets of neighbors and friends! No matter what stage your pup is at, I’ll make sure to take great care of them! I’m a student currently, but on the days I don’t have class or need a break from studying, I like to stay active by walking with furry friends. I keep a tight schedule when taking care of pets, making sure to keep pups on their regular routine when their parents are away. I can accommodate any needs be that dietary, crating, activities etc. My main priority is to keep your pup healthy and happy.
About: Animals have been the heart of my home for as long as I can remember—I’ve grown up surrounded by the love of both dogs and cats my entire life! That lifelong bond inspired me to become a professional dog groomer, meaning I bring a deep understanding of dog behavior, gentle handling, and professional health awareness to every pet I meet. Above all, your furry family member’s safety and comfort mean everything to me. To give you total peace of mind, I am Dog & Cat First Aid & CPR Certified through the American Red Cross. Whether your pup needs an extra-patient friend, a high-energy playtime, or just someone who truly understands their cues, I promise to treat them with the exact same love and devotion I give my own! I am a full-time professional groomer, so my life naturally revolves around animals! My schedule allows plenty of flexibility to give your pet the dedicated care and attention they deserve. I am currently available for drop-in visits and active walks to keep your pup happy and healthy. Because of my professional background, I am also more than happy to discuss customized grooming services to keep them looking and feeling their best. Let's connect and find a routine that works perfectly for your furry family member! When I’m looking after your fur babies in your home, their safety, happiness, and comfort are my absolute top priorities! Every pet has their own wonderful personality, and I love being versatile enough to match their vibe perfectly. Along with keeping up with their usual feeding and watering routines, I tailor my visits entirely to what makes them happy. If you have a high-energy pup who lives for fun, I offer exceptional, toy-squeaking, tail-wagging playtime! But if your sweet pet is a total couch potato, I am more than happy to just curl up, offer gentle scratches, and keep them company. Please note that I currently only offer care directly out of your home, ensuring your best friend stays safe, loved, and thoroughly pampered in their own cozy environment!
“We are so happy that Danielle is taking great care of our fur baby! She is great with communicating regarding walking times and days, she loves our fur child like her own, and she is dependable. Highly recommend!”

“Teri, is the best dog sitter, walker and friend! She loves Buddy as much as I do. I could not have selected a better person to care for my dog better! I love Teri!❤️🐾😘”
About: Animals have been part of my life from the very beginning. My family raised and cared for pets of all kinds, including Maine Coon show cats, a golden retriever, and a yorkie. I grew up surrounded by them, learning early how to read behavior, provide steady care, and build trust with different personalities and species. The only time I ever lived without an animal in my home was during my first two years of service in the Air Force. Since then, I have continued to share my life with dogs, cats, and the occasional more unusual companion such as a bird, a ferret, and a snake. Every one of them has been loved and treated as family. These days I share my home with Daxter (my orange tabby) and Catarina and Beretina (two crazy torbie sisters) who keep life entertaining in all the best ways. I am a veteran currently in school and I work part time as a martial arts instructor. Outside of that, I enjoy drawing, playing guitar, and video games. Among my friends I have become the go to pet auntie because I care for their animals as if they were my own. My goal is to bring that same level of attentiveness and genuine care to every pet I look after. Whether they are shy, energetic, quirky, or easygoing, I meet each animal with patience, respect, and a calm presence so they feel safe while you are away. I currently work part time as a martial arts instructor during the day, but my schedule is extremely flexible to accommodate both you and your pets’ needs I care for every pet with a focus on respect, clear communication, and their individual comfort levels. Whether a cat or dog is shy, social, or a little spicy, I follow their cues and let them set the pace. With many years of experience, including caring for my own three cats (Daxter, Catarina, and Beretina), I’m very attentive to both physical and emotional needs and quick to notice changes in behavior or stress. Your peace of mind matters just as much as your pet’s. If you’re away, I provide consistent updates and photos as often as you’d like so you always know how they’re doing. I welcome specific instructions or preferences because every pet has their own routine and every owner has their own comfort level. My goal is simple: your pet feels safe and content, and you feel confident that they’re in good hands.
About: I am here because I know how important it is to provide your pets quality care. I want your time away to be as convenient and stress free as possible. I know it can be difficult finding the right care and I am here to ease that worry while reassuring you I have experience and knowledge to provide quality care. I strive to keep your pets routine and make sure they are comfortable and happy. I'm here to communicate with you and commit to you and your pets. I see myself as a form of extended family, as such I genuinely care and provide quality care. I had owners that needed me to care for special needs and request one on one care or special needs can be accommodated sometimes with additional fees but most often with the regular rates. I am able to do introductions with other animals or keep separate depending on pets temperament and owner preferences. I've taken care of pets, including my own since I was a young child. I have cared for all types of pets including cats, dogs (of all sizes) and other animals. I have experience with senior animals and puppies and have pet sat, been a dog owner and fostered. I have experience with multiple breeds and we prefer to make your pet feel at home as much as possible, so you can be at ease while away. I work from home and pets are provided care throughout the day. I know it can be hard to find someone you feel comfortable with taking care of your pet so I am to not only take excellent care of your pet but for you to rest assured your pet is in great hands. I have a fenced yard, as well as a space if you have a pet that needs to be confined or crated. I am happy to discuss needs and try to work out to make your pets stay as pleasant as possible. I ask that you provide all the things your pet is used to including schedule/ routine if you keep one so that their time away is comfortable and seamless.
About: I am super active (hiking, running, freediving, surfing) so I'll make sure to give your pup a good amount of exercise! I'm a Sacramento native and know all the fun places to go on a walk. I also love cats and can't get bored of playing with them! I have experience in caring for special needs and senior animals. I have tons of availability all summer long so please reach out! I am currently working part time and have a super flexible schedule! My busiest mornings are Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, but I'd be happy to fit you in! I am always open to collaborating on a schedule that works for everyone. I have two mellow cats and one very playful vizsla! If your pet prefers to play alone, I have dog gates and a backyard for them! Otherwise, I'd love to hang out with your cat/ dog or take them on walks! Feel free to reach out for additional services.

“Grisel was amazing! It was Bran’s first time being boarded through Rover so we had our initial worries about how he would do. Grisel’s updates and photos of him were something that we looked forward to everyday, she sent so many updates on his playing, feeding and walking time and was very understanding of his occasional shyness. We will definitely be booking her services again the next time we are out of town! I am so happy and relieved that we made a good choice for our first rover experience.”
“Achara was Phenomenal. I cannot express the amount of gratitude and relief I feel boarding my dog with her. I received constant updates and pictures while I was out of town and tips since her dog is the same breed. She socialized my dog and I cannot tell you the amount of peace I felt knowing he was in great hands. I would HIGHLY recommend Achara and she really does go above and beyond!”
“Doh was an absolute lifesaver taking care of Dodger last minute. She was very responsive, attentive, and made me feel completely at ease during his stay. This was Dodger’s first time boarding overnight with someone else, and she did an amazing job keeping me updated with pictures and messages letting me know how he was doing. I truly appreciated her communication and care, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Roy was very accommodating to our needs for our doggie Onyx and was very responsive by text. He sent us lots of photos of our guy, which was very comforting. We highly recommend him for your doggos stay!”
“Best ever! We have a special needs dog, a rescue who had been abused and attacked by other dogs and they treated her so well she felt at home from day 1. We are so thankful for everything. We got pictures, she borrowed a jacket when it was cold and rainy and she went on long walks. Best experience ever!”
“Alexandra is fantastic! She took great care of Tokyn and she sent photos/videos frequently while we were away for 3 weeks...keeping me updated. It was clear that Tokyn was having a great time and was enjoying the other dogs she was spending time with. This was the first time I had left my dog for this long and Alexandra created a great experience. We will definitely use her again. ❤️”
“I was nervous leaving Ollie with a new sitter since he’s so used to having me or my fiancé home with him, but Ekaterina was amazing. She sent lots of photos and regular updates, which really put my mind at ease. When I picked him up, he looked happy, relaxed, and very calm. It was clear he was well cared for. I would definitely recommend Ekaterina and would happily book with her again!”
“Matt gave outstanding care and attention to my dog. Thorough in his updates and careful to follow my requested care instructions. His pet dog was easy for mine to get along with.”
“Sade was great, Rickie Boobie is a handful with tons of puppy energy, she connected with him right away, let him get acclimated. Everyday she sent me pictures and text reassuring me he was being a good boy . It was our first time and I am grateful for Sade, her husband and son for making Rickie Boobie welcome and loved. We will be contacting Sade again very soon.”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Ana Carolina and her husband Chris! They were incredibly kind, responsive, and even offered to do a meet-and-greet on their own time, which meant so much to us. They took genuine interest in Mila’s care plan and asked thoughtful questions to make sure every detail was right, as well as serving regular updates and pictures. Mila can be slow to warm up to new people, but she absolutely loved them — which says everything. We’re so grateful for their care and would highly recommend them!”
“Nelly was the most amazing sitter ever! I’m a first time dog mom who was worried about leaving Hank with a stranger, but Nelly calmed my nerves and was always keeping me in the loop while I was out of town. I appreciated all the pictures, videos, and updates of Hank having the best time during his stay. Definitely recommend booking Nelly for your dog’s home away from home.”
“I had a mix up with other care and Katherine was able to accommodate Tashi over Christmas in a pinch! I felt super comfortable with her caring for Tashi and her two resident dogs made Tashi feel like she was on a 4 day long play date! Can’t recommend enough. Thank you, Katherine”
“Becky did an amazing job watching our Husky, Cleo. She constantly kept us updated on how Cleo was doing and sent a ton of pictures throughout the stay. I would definitely recommend her for dog sitting!”
“Cedric & his family are so wonderful with my high energy girl & make her feel at home! He was able to help me out after I had someone cancel last minute & he’s always so communicative & helpful. I always know my Mila is in great, safe hands while under his care.”
“Manuel is our life saver and thankful he was able to sit our GSD last minute. Manuel send photos and kept us updated which was amazing. Thank you for giving us a peace a mind from the very start to the end. For those reading this, do not hesitate and I would definitely recommend anyone for leaving their fur baby with Manuel.”
“Chelsi took such great care of Levi when we took a long weekend to go camping. She’s so attentive and sent great updates. I would recommend her to anyone looking for their doggy to have a home away from home 🫶🏽”
