“Linda provided great care for my mini poodle for 6 nights. I was out of town and Linda sent email updates daily sent one video of her playing. The messages were reassuring that she was happy and safe. When I travel again I will definitely have Linda take care of my dog.”
“Verle and Kaitlin were great with my pup! They sent so many cute pics and daily updates and helped put me at ease knowing she was in good hands. Would definitely recommend and will rebook the next time we’re in need. Great communication and wonderful sitters!”
“Marwa was great with our rescue corgi. We were apprehensive about leaving our dog with a sitter so soon after adopting her, but as soon as we met Marwa our anxieties were eased. She was great about providing us photos, videos, and updates about our sweet girl. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again for our pet sitting needs.”
“Naira was wonderful with my Todd! I felt so safe leaving him with her, so glad I was able to find a good babysitter for my fur baby on such short notice! Thank you so much Naira!”
“Five stars! Cerita provided excellent care for our energetic dog. She makes a point to understand each of the canine personalities in her care, and has a great setup for managing them. She was also always very responsive and pleasant to deal with.”
“Mark and his son were really awesome with our dog, Thor. We booked a 10 day stay, and Mark provided consistent updates on how Thor was doing. They walked him regularly and played with him often, and they have a great home with a back yard Thor could enjoy. I felt comfortable and confident leaving my fur baby with them!”
“We love Savannah! We have booked with her several times now and always love the care she gives to our pup. If you’re looking for a sweet and caring person to look after your dog definitely check out Savannah.”
“Thanks to Jason and family for caring for Molly. She loves staying with them and isn’t really that excited to see me🤪I appreciate having the ability to leave her worry free. And enjoy all the photos and videos Jason sends everyday.”
“Susanne took great care of my dog! She was very kind and understanding of my dog’s needs, and my dog enjoyed his stay. I appreciated the regular pictures and updates that she sends. I definitely recommend booking with Susanne, and I’ll be sure to book again when needed!”
“I left my pup with Amalia & her family for a week - the longest I've been away from her since I got her. I was sent video updates while away- It was so comforting to see how well she was being taken care of & to see how much she loves running & rolling around in their back yard! Thank you for making her so happy!”
“Shakyra did a great job taking care of Nemo! This was the first time Nemo had ever stayed away from me so Shakyra sent me lots of pictures to keep me at ease. I think this was much harder for me than Nemo! I would definitely book Shakyra again.”
“I am new to this site and I was so happy with the experience of leaving my big boy with these guys. It was like an all day doggie day camp. Waldo played with dogs and had the space to relax and sleep if he wanted. I got daily photos and communication. He is completely exhausted- he must have had a good time! I will use them in the future. They are great!!!!! ”
“Ami treated my boys well and kept me updated as one of them was having trouble adjusting to a new location. I really appreciate her patience and graciousness in caring for the boys. They both came home healthy, happy, and worn out. I’d definitely recommend Ami to other pet parents.”
“Yukiko was fantastic with our little guy, so friendly, gentle, and professional right from the beginning. My mind was at ease knowing that he would be well taken care of as she helped him to get acclimated to her home and her cute little dogs. Yukiko's regular updates and photos were so helpful too!”
“We felt completely at ease leaving our dog with Mark over the holidays. He made sure Apollo was comfortable in his home and was super accommodating to all his little quirks. Mark's communication was excellent, always quick and responsive, which we appreciated. We'd definitely book with him again and recommend him to other dog owners :)”
“Mabel loved her time at Araceli’s! Araceli was very warm and welcoming to us humans, but to Mabel she was a dog’s dream host. There are toys, stuffies and balls galore. Mabel absolutely felt at home the second we walked in. Mabel was allowed to get on the couch and Araceli didn’t mind when water dripped off her mouth after drinking water. We knew immediately that Mabel would be in great hands and she was. We were happy to receive pictures and even a video of Mabel having fun. We will definitely use Araceli again. I know Mabel will be excited.”
“My husband and I are active duty military and we really wanted to go home to visit family, but we’re so apprehensive about who watches our dog. But Kylie and Anthony were wonderful!!! They loved and cared for our baby like she was their own. We got daily updates and pictures which really set our hearts at ease ❤️ we couldn’t have made a better choice to care for our little girl!!”

“I had a good experience overall with Paige. She stayed for the full hour as requested, cleaned the litter boxes, sent lots of pictures and updates, cuddled with the cats, and left the apartment tidy afterward. It was clear she cared about making the cats comfortable while I was away.”
“Stefanie took amazing care of our 2 fur babies. I love that she got on their level and played with them! Our cats were well loved while we went on vacation for a week. Highly recommend and we will be returning customers!! Thank you Stefanie.”
About: I've loved animals my whole life and treat them as I do my own children with much TLC. I feel animals are just as important and need care as much as we do. They are the most genuine and purest form of love and friendship one can endure. I used to run a infant and toddler home daycare and now I'm interested in expanding my pet sitting business. I have more free time as I've closed the home business and venturing out in pet care. I prefer care in the owner's home where the pets are most comfortable in their familiar environment. I will feed, pickup droppings, walk and snuggle.
“Whitney is a wonderful cat sitter with a bubbly personality. She is so sweet and punctual. She took great care of our Ozzy while we were away. Visit times were consistent and timely. Definitely excited for her to watch out cat again this coming weekend. Thanks again Whitney!!”
“Ms Caity is attentive and responsible. She now is our go-to. She did a fantastic job watching our babies for 3 weeks while overseas and 1 week out of state. Gold stars!! I highly recommend.”
“Susanne’s updates were very reassuring and thorough each day. She sent great pictures too. We are very grateful to be able to depend on Susanne to take excellent care of our cats when we’re away.”
“Rebecca did drop-ins for our cat while we were away for 2 weeks. She kept the litter box clean, sent daily updates and took care of feeding. I’d recommend Rebecca and I plan on hiring her again.”
About: I have had the opportunity to have cats as additions to our family. Sassie was a sweet Himalayan, Rocky a smart long hair, Max our only orange cat, and Peaches our calico. We have great memories with each of our cats.
“Mackenzie is an exceptional cat sitter! From the moment we first contacted her, her communication was outstanding. She was incredibly responsive to our questions and updates. Her punctuality was also remarkable. She arrived exactly when she said she would for every visit. She made sure that our two cats (they are really shy) were well cared for and happy. We truly appreciated the regular photo updates of the cats during each visit. Mackenzie went above and beyond, and it's clear she genuinely loves animals. We wouldn't hesitate to work with her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter :)”
“First time using Rover and we were lucky to find Audrey and have her watch our sweet, older, cat. We needed someone to stay at the house for a few days while we went out of town, which can be scary when you don't know the person, but Audrey was a perfect fit. She was very attentive to our kitty and did not hesitate to reach out with any important questions ...and sent us lots of kitty updates. I highly recommend her for her your pet sitting needs.”
“Sara was amazing! Communicative and personable. I felt really safe knowing she was looking out for my cat and I would work with her anytime again in the future.”
“We booked Jessica to watch our two cats over Christmas weekend, and will definitely book with her again next time we need a sitter. She sent regular updates and pictures, and we came home to two happy and healthy kitties!”
About: I’ve taken care of my own family dogs and dog and watched for friends and families. I am a college student who is trying to make some extra cash with her own one year old Dalmatian! I am fully available to provide services on weekdays and weekends most hours of the day to any pets before 10pm any day of the week!! I would like you to know I will care for your pet like my own. Meeting there exercise needs, keeping them safe on walks and comfortable when staying in my home
“Alicia is a life saver! We just got home from our trip and the cats seem to be doing really well. The litter box is clean and they are fed! Thank you so much Alicia for helping us especially so last minute! I will definitely re-book with Alicia again next time I travel. She was super reliable and communicative. We felt at ease leaving the cats back home knowing she’s going to be checking up on them. 5 stars!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, so I’ve always been around and cared for animals. I also have experience with leash aggressive dogs — my dog at home can be reactive around other dogs, so I have learned how to handle those situations calmly and safely. I am currently a student taking online courses over the summer, so I am often available everyday of the week unless I had prior commitments/appointments. I always check in with owners about their pet’s behavior before a walk or visit, so I know what to be aware of and what works best so I can make sure they are safe, comfortable, and well taken care of.
“Rebooked Madalyn after she did such an amazing job watching my two kitties a few months ago. Madalyn is kind, reliable and does a great job with cats of all personalities! I feel at easy when she’s watching my cats.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - San Carlos
Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: Hi, I’m Michelle. I’m a longtime dog owner with over 16 years of experience, and I recently returned to Rover after taking a few years’ hiatus to care for our senior pup full-time. We recently said goodbye to our sweet girl, Mika, who was with us for 16.5 wonderful years. Caring for her taught us so much about patience, comfort, and the extra love senior dogs need. While we’re not quite ready to adopt again, we would truly love to share that love with your pup. My husband and I have a calm, dog-free home, which allows us to give your dog our full attention in a peaceful, low-stress environment. We have a special place in our hearts for senior dogs and those who may need gentler care, but we love pups of all ages. Your dog’s days will include two walks (adjusted for age and energy level), playtime or cozy downtime, treats with your approval, and lots of affection and belly rubs. I also provide photo updates and check-ins so you can feel confident your furry family member is happy and well cared for. My goal is simple: to make your dog feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away. A Few Things I’d Love to Know To provide the best care possible, please let me know: • Any special needs or medical considerations • If your dog experiences separation anxiety • Feeding schedule, diet, medications, or allergies • Their daily routine and energy level • Favorite comforts, routines, or quirks Important Note Extended stay: An additional $25 day rate applies if pick-up is over the 24-hour period. Your pup will get plenty of attention. We can go for walks and have some play time. Ofcourse (if your pet is older we will go for shorter walks) They’ll get treats and belly rubs. We have a patio with grass they can go potty anytime :) I have a cozy and fenced patio. They can sit and lay out by the sun. I also have a grassy area for potty breaks anytime the want.
“Whitney was great! Ghost is home sleeping like a baby. I’m glad she enjoyed her time with Whitney, and we have a person we trust to take Ghost to when we need it. I appreciate the updates and communication.”
“Todd & Bill have been amazing watching our 4 month old puppy Molly. Always reliable and sending updates during the day. Always feel safe with her in their hands. Highly recommend their care!!”
“Rebecca was amazing. I requested the night before, and she made room for Pancake the next day. She had an amazing time playing with the other dogs and kiddos at the house and came home to zonk out. Thank you so much for giving her such fun days!”
“Susanee is an excellent dog sitter! She took great care of my dog, Zhuangzhuang, and there was also another Bernese dog for them to play with, which helped Zhuangzhuang burn off a lot of energy. Plus, Susanee has a large, fenced yard, perfect for active pets. Zhuangzhuang had a fantastic day!”
“She's great. My dog has never been with anyone but family and she is able to comfort him. With my schedule changing, it is wonderful having her as a backup for work. Like I said, she's great.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats around the neighborhood for years. When our neighbors go on trips, they leave their pets in my care. In the past, I've gone to the beach, taken long walks, and helped with basic training. I am excited to meet all my new furry friends :) I am free any time, any day! 😁 I are happy to take care of your pet at any time. Your pet will be the center of my attention. I live in a fenced yard with plenty of space for your furry friends to run around. My home is quiet, and there's always someone around to be with your pet. I live in a safe, secure home, with lots of inside space to chill out.
“Mark has been wonderful to work with. Our dog, Mello, has some anxiety around new environments, so we arranged a test daycare day before the official boarding dates. Mark has been incredibly patient and thoughtful in helping Mello get comfortable. We really appreciate how willing he is to work with us and plan a few more test daycare and boarding days ahead of the actual stay. It’s clear he truly cares about making sure the dogs in his care feel safe and supported. Based on this experience, we’re very confident Mello will have a great time during his upcoming stays.”
“She was so caring and attentive to my dog, and I love how she keeps you updated on everything. She was very accommodating given the fact that I had to drop of my dog really early for work. Would definitely recommend, I know I’ll be going to her for my pup.”
“Melanie did a wonderful job watching my pup. She gave consistent updates and my pup was relaxed and appeared to be well rested when I picked her up which is the best thing I can ask for … I would definitely rebook Melanie!”
About: Hi, I’m Emily - a life long dog lover who's had pups most of my life, including my sweet Pomeranian who lived to 19 years old. I work from home, so your dog will have constant companionship, lots of love, and plenty of attention throughout the day. We have a fenced yard for safe play and zoomies, and I truly treat every pup like part of the family. From walks to snuggles, I’m here to make your dog’s stay pawsitively great 🐾 I currently work from home so I'm available 24/7 to take care of your sweet pup. Because of my flexible schedule, I can easily adjust to your fur baby's unique needs. I am available Monday - Sundays for boarding at my home in La Mesa, CA. I have a fenced yard and a sweet Pomeranian to keep your dog(s) company. I can adjust to your furry friend's eating, walking and sleeping schedule. I'm here to ensure your dog is as happy as possible while you're away.
About: I have had a family dog my whole life. My current pup is a 2year old mini goldendoodle that is about 25lbs. He is high energy and loves play time, long walks and going to the dog park. I work remote full time so I am home with my dog the majority of my day. Any pet in my care would get the same treatment as my own. Multiple walks, a trip to the park and of course regular feedings. My pet is free to roam my apartment, I have a balcony that he also has free access to during the day. I keep the door open for him.
“Ruby had a great time! Thank you Jason for the walks and cuddles with Ruby and all the sweet pictures! It was comforting to know she was being well taken care of while I spent the afternoon sightseeing.”
About: Hi there! My wife and I both work from home in College Area, so we are an ideal match for someone looking for a long-term solution to their dog walks/drop-in needs! Our house is 1 mile from the SDSU campus, and we walk our dog about 3-4 miles 6 times a week. We use Rover's app that will email/text you the details of your dog's walk/drop-in, including bathroom breaks, notes, GPS route tracking, and pictures. Dogs have always been a part of our lives, and having both been volunteers in the past, we're well aware of the balance needed for a dog to live a healthy DOG (not human) life. Providing our dog a balanced life is one of the reasons we adjusted our schedules at work, so we wouldn't have to leave Cabby all cooped up while we were gone for 9+ hours a day. We'd love to talk to you about your dog walking/drop-in needs, any questions you'd have for us, and of course to talk about your dog in particular. Rest assured, if there's someone who's going to love your dog like you would, you've come to the right place! About this sitter: We've always been the go-to dog sitter for family and friends. We've both also volunteered at different dog shelters in Michigan, Illinois, and California. Why I love dog sitting: My family got our first dog when I was just 2 years old. I've had at least one dog in my family ever since. Meet my pets: Brookie! See my profile for more information. I can take your dog for a walk and/or do a drop-in visit in the mornings, during lunch, or even later in the evening. I am happy to find a schedule that works best for you and that your dog is comfortable with. I am already very active and know the neighborhood, streets, and nearby parks very well. I walk a lot during the week as part of my regular exercise, and having your dog join me would make it that much more enjoyable.
About: I am a dog-lover with my whole life of experience in caring for dogs! I have had them in all shapes and sizes - my first two dogs being big German Shepherds to my last dog which was a little Maltipoo, and a few in between. I have potty trained quite a few dogs in my life, as well as helped them through their senior years. Most important of all, I will love your pets like they're my own children! I'm currently working part time from home so I have plenty of availability to take your pup outside for potty breaks or walks and give them attention throughout the day. I have a safe, fenced yard with plenty of room for sniffing and sunshine. I also have senior dog care items like a step to get on the couch. I have a long gate that can be made into a pen, and a cage for a small dog, if requested. Pets are family here - I have always allowed my own pets on the couch or bed and will do the same for yours unless you prefer otherwise.
About: We’re a dog-loving family of four offering a calm, safe place for your pup to feel at home. I’ve had dogs since I was 10, so caring for them is second nature, and your dog will be treated like part of the family while they’re here. Our dog, Sunshine, is a 4-year-old Aussiedoodle who is incredibly sweet and great with other dogs. She can be a little shy at first, but warms up quickly and loves having a buddy around. I work from home, so your dog will have plenty of attention throughout the day—whether that’s hanging out nearby, playing outside, or just relaxing. We have a fully fenced yard with real grass, lots of plants to sniff, and a sunny patio for lounging. Inside, our home is very low-key and relaxed. We also have two kids (15 and 12) who are gentle, respectful, and love spending time with dogs. Whether your pup wants to play, nap, or just be near people, we create a comfortable, easygoing environment where they can settle in and feel safe. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine since I work from home and am with my dog, Sunshine, all day. Dogs in my care are rarely left alone and can spend the day hanging out with me, getting attention, and going in and out of the yard as they like. Our routine is pretty low-key and flexible, so I’m able to adjust to each dog’s needs—whether that’s more playtime, rest, or sticking to a specific schedule. Walks, feeding, and outdoor time are all built into the day, and evenings are calm with the whole family around. Because this is already how our home operates, adding another dog feels very natural and not like a disruption to our routine. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. Since I work from home, they get plenty of attention throughout the day and are rarely left alone. Dogs are free to relax inside, spend time with us, or play in our fully fenced yard. I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and any specific instructions you provide.
About: I've loved dogs since I was a kid growing up with huskies! I would always handle their grooming, walking, and medications. In adulthood I found my passion for rescue dogs and have rescued/fostered pitbulls and mastiffs for the last 8 years! I have a heart for gentle giants but love snuggling and taking care of my parent's little poodle mixes as well. I also have a lot of experience handling senior and ill dogs, and give that level of care and patience to all dogs that I work with. I handle our two dog's enrichment all day and love having visitors. I'm currently working from home so can be their all day for your pet's needs. I understand that pet routines are key to creating happy healthy pets and will do what ever I can to accommodate your needs! We also have doggie doors to allow your pet access to potty breaks whenever they need! I have a fenced yard and two friendly pups to keep your pup company! I also have a great neighborhood for walking your fur baby in, low traffic and tons of plants for them to smell. Dogs are more than welcome to cuddle up on the couch or our dog beds. I have comfy crates available as well if that's your dog's jam.
“I had such a great experience leaving my dog, Coyol, with Shakyra for the day! From the start, she was incredibly patient during both drop-off and pick-up, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Throughout the day, she kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me peace of mind knowing Coyol was in good hands. She even took him on a hike, which he absolutely loved! Shakyra was kind, communicative, and clearly cared about Coyol’s well-being. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. Thank you, Shakyra!”
“Alyssa was fantastic! She responded promptly, she provided great care and feedback, she has a great setup, and I'm looking to book her again this week and beyond!”

“Paige is wonderful with my dog, who has leash anxiety. As our regular dog walker, she is always punctual and communicative. On our first visit, Paige took the time to ask thoughtful questions about his triggers, routines, allergies, treats, and do’s and don’ts before starting. She handled him calmly and patiently, making safety and positive interactions a clear priority. I really appreciated how attentive and understanding she is, which gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in caring, capable hands. Highly recommend!”
About: I've loved animals my whole life and treat them as I do my own children with much TLC. I feel animals are just as important and need care as much as we do. They are the most genuine and purest form of love and friendship one can endure. I used to run a infant and toddler home daycare and now I'm interested in expanding my pet sitting business.

“Jane is absolutely fantastic, and if she’s available she’s the one you want to choose! She gives her undivided attention and care to my dog, and since my pup is older - Jane is mindful of her energy levels. She was also incredibly patient and understanding with my dog who tends to get nervous when I’m not around. I also 100% trust her - which makes a huge difference in “dropping in real quick” vs needing to be there to hand my dog off to her. BOOK HER SHE’S AMAZING! 😊”
“We hired Susanne to walk both of our dogs while we were out of town. Susanne was great! She sent us everyday pictures and updates. We will definitely hire her again.”
About: I’ve been a dog owner for over 15 years. I love the joy they bring to others. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs. I would love to help care for your dog, whether it’s sitting or walking. I am pursuing pet care full time so my schedule is flexible for walks and pet sitting. I will work with you to make sure your dog is taken care of and happy! I am very thorough in making sure every pet has a safe and comfortable space. I have a friendly dog of my own and can bring him along if your pet wants a play buddy!
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience being around animals of all kinds and my genuine love for caring for them. From dogs and pigs to chickens and ducks, I’m very comfortable handling different personalities, routines, and needs. I started pet sitting for neighbors and family friends in high school, and over the years I’ve gained hands-on experience with walking, feeding, bathing, overnight care, and making pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I truly enjoy spending quality time with animals, whether that means energetic playtime or relaxing cuddles on the couch. I currently work full time Monday to Friday, but I have the flexibility to leave should I need to do a drop by throughout the day. I currently provide care in my client’s home, where I make it a priority to not only care for your pets, but also respect and maintain your space. I carefully follow all instructions and routines to ensure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Communication is very important to me, so I will always reach out with any questions or updates to make sure your pets receive the best care possible. My goal is to leave both your pets happy and your home just as clean as when I arrived.
About: I’ve been personally caring for both cats and dogs for over 3 years, in addition to volunteering at the SPCA. Through that work, I’ve gained experience with animals of all ages, sizes, and temperaments — from playful puppies to senior cats needing extra care. I’ve helped socialize nervous rescues, maintained routines for high-energy pets, and provided gentle support for older animals. What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and the genuine connection I build with every pet. I treat them like family and always prioritize their comfort and trust. Pet care fits into my weekly routine naturally. I work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for pets throughout the day and on weekends. I enjoy staying active and love having pets as companions on walks and during downtime at home. I always follow detailed care instructions and make safety a top priority—whether in your home or mine. I ensure pets are secure, supervise playtime, and keep their routines consistent. I also provide updates with photos so you feel connected and confident while you're away.
About: I have had my own dogs and fostered dogs for rescues for many years. I have been a professional dog walker and pet sitter for years. experienced with all sizes and breeds, flexible to meet needs, happy to go as fast or slow as your pup needs. can help train on leash manners if desired, comfortable with feeding, watering, crating etc. I also have my own cats and am experienced in feeding, cleanup, and other aspects of care and have followed very specific feeding, meds, coming and playing routines for clients. I have a very flexible schedule and can meet nearly any scheduling need you and your pets may have, on short notice or on a recurring basis. I am very used to dealing with cat and dog behaviors and keeping cats and dogs of all ages and sizes safe and happy. I expect to follow the rules that work for you, your pet, and your house.
About: I am a mom. I can manage a potty trained dogs and animals. Love walks/cuddles. Daily walks. A routine.

About: Full time pet care professional - your pets are my priority! I’ve never met a dog I didn’t love, and I can’t wait to meet yours! Every pet is unique, with their own personality, and I am excited to take care of them and earn their trust to become a reliable sitter that they enjoy seeing. Fast paced and playful or laid-back and lounging, conforming to your pets lifestyle is important to me - I also send updates at least once a day, as well as pictures, so you don’t miss your babies too much! About Me: As a full time sitter, I get lots of 1 on 1 time with my furry guests! I love having a head to pet or ball to throw throughout the day, and spend a majority of my time at home with my ever-growing, extended fur-family. I have extensive experience with fear-free basic training, including walk fundamentals, as well as trust building training and practices. I am also well versed in administering medications (liquid, pill, and subcutaneous) to pets with special needs and health conditions, including senior dogs (I love a frosted face!) I have a darling, 15 year old, Chinese Crested named Kovu who spends her golden years napping and welcoming her furry friends with a sniff and a shake. Having two special needs dogs in recent years, I know how hard it is to leave your little loves behind. I am also independently insured as a pet sitter, daycare provider, pet trainer, and pet taxi through Pet Care Insurance (PCI). About My Home: My home features a large, fenced-in yard on a quiet street with tons of space for pups to run around and play. When the weather allows, they’re given free rein of the inside and outside of my home. The maximum time a dog is ever alone in my home is 2 hours (when I need to grocery shop or go to an appointment), but there is always a dog-loving adult family member home in case of an unexpected emergency. I am not a sitter who boards as many pets as possible, as that is too stressful on the dogs and is not the kind of care I would want my baby to receive. I only allow up to 2 pet families to book on any day, and my rates reflect the individual attention, love, and calm environment that your pups receive in my care. I like to have a hands-on approach when pet sitting, and anything we can do together, we do together! Pups love coming over to my home because they know they’re in for a fun time!
“Whitney is a true pet lover. She is very thoughtful, communicative, and caring. Our dogs and I look forward to many future visits with her. Many thanks from everyone in our family, Whitney!”
“Mackenzie was very nice. She had no problem coming in and getting to know Nikko. He’s a puppy so his energy is high and she did great with him. I’d recommend her if you’re looking for someone reliable to walk your dog.”
“Aria has watched and cared for Sierra prior to me joining rover. She has done a great job communicating with me and taking care of Sierra. This included overnights and giving her a pill each day. She has a dog of her own named Millie who gets along with Sierra.”
“Our dog Tink very much enjoyed the daily walks with Alicia and we really appreciated Alicia helping us out to accommodate our work schedule last week. Tink was looking forward to the walks with Alicia despite the rainy weather. Thank you very much!”
“Rebecca was amazing with our pup Koda, who is a bigger dog. She is very responsive and communicative. We appreciated her help so much she gave us peace of mind during our trip!”

“Verle and Kaitlin were great with my pup! They sent so many cute pics and daily updates and helped put me at ease knowing she was in good hands. Would definitely recommend and will rebook the next time we’re in need. Great communication and wonderful sitters!”
“Five stars! Cerita provided excellent care for our energetic dog. She makes a point to understand each of the canine personalities in her care, and has a great setup for managing them. She was also always very responsive and pleasant to deal with.”
“Mark and his son were really awesome with our dog, Thor. We booked a 10 day stay, and Mark provided consistent updates on how Thor was doing. They walked him regularly and played with him often, and they have a great home with a back yard Thor could enjoy. I felt comfortable and confident leaving my fur baby with them!”
“We love Savannah! We have booked with her several times now and always love the care she gives to our pup. If you’re looking for a sweet and caring person to look after your dog definitely check out Savannah.”
“Thanks to Jason and family for caring for Molly. She loves staying with them and isn’t really that excited to see me🤪I appreciate having the ability to leave her worry free. And enjoy all the photos and videos Jason sends everyday.”
“Susanne took great care of my dog! She was very kind and understanding of my dog’s needs, and my dog enjoyed his stay. I appreciated the regular pictures and updates that she sends. I definitely recommend booking with Susanne, and I’ll be sure to book again when needed!”
“Shakyra did a great job taking care of Nemo! This was the first time Nemo had ever stayed away from me so Shakyra sent me lots of pictures to keep me at ease. I think this was much harder for me than Nemo! I would definitely book Shakyra again.”
“I am new to this site and I was so happy with the experience of leaving my big boy with these guys. It was like an all day doggie day camp. Waldo played with dogs and had the space to relax and sleep if he wanted. I got daily photos and communication. He is completely exhausted- he must have had a good time! I will use them in the future. They are great!!!!! ”
“Ami treated my boys well and kept me updated as one of them was having trouble adjusting to a new location. I really appreciate her patience and graciousness in caring for the boys. They both came home healthy, happy, and worn out. I’d definitely recommend Ami to other pet parents.”
“We felt completely at ease leaving our dog with Mark over the holidays. He made sure Apollo was comfortable in his home and was super accommodating to all his little quirks. Mark's communication was excellent, always quick and responsive, which we appreciated. We'd definitely book with him again and recommend him to other dog owners :)”
“My husband and I are active duty military and we really wanted to go home to visit family, but we’re so apprehensive about who watches our dog. But Kylie and Anthony were wonderful!!! They loved and cared for our baby like she was their own. We got daily updates and pictures which really set our hearts at ease ❤️ we couldn’t have made a better choice to care for our little girl!!”
“Benny immediately gravitated towards Nick and we knew it was a good match. Nick expressed his love of dogs and it showed with the care he provided Benny. Nick was very attentive and kept us updated with Benny very frequently, providing pictures and videos of Benny enjoying his time with Nick. We also appreciated the feedback that Nick provided at the end of Benny's stay with Nick. Overall we are extremely happy with Nick and look forward to having Benny under his care in the future.”
“Our dog Lula had a great time during his boarding stay with Shyrah! She was very communicative and provided photos and updates throughout the booking. Would recommend!”
“Katelyn and Paul are the best! They took really good care of our boys while we were out of town! This was the first time that we left our boys with a sitter so we were a little nervous. We couldn’t of chosen a better couple! Katelyn and Paul are true dog lovers and we knew they would be in great hands. They also have a really nice and spacious backyard for dogs to enjoy. Overall a great experience! We will definitely use their services again in the future! ❤️?”
“Had a great experience with Shelby. My two dogs looked at home immediately. Great communication and I received updates about my dogs who looked very happy. I'm already planning to use Shelby again on my next out of town trip - highly recommend.”
“We have been looking for a dog sitter for an upcoming long vacation, and found Tinsika’s experience impressive. We did and a meet and greet with Tinsika and her husband, and felt really positive about how they interacted with our dogs. Despite preparing for their own extended vacation, they were super accommodating and made room in their schedule to care for our boys for an overnight stay (prior to a longer stay). We provided detailed instructions, and they were followed as best as was possible. Our dogs were of course a little nervous for the first night, but when we went to pick them up we could tell they enjoyed spending time with Tinsika and Bob, nuzzling them as they do our own friends and family. We are relieved knowing our boys will be in great hands for a longer stay next time.”
“Royce had a great time with Jimmy! He was very communicative and sent plenty of pictures and responded quickly. Definitely recommend him and will use him again in the future.”
