“Great couple! Very responsive. They really took care of my dog and I can tell that my dog had a great time at their home. I received the photos of my dog every day and knew that my dog was treated very well. Highly recommend!”
“We have a 5 month old puppy and this is the first time we’ve had to board her. I was very nervous to leave her but Ivan was awesome. He was very attentive and tried to keep to her normal routine. He also shared many pictures over the days we were gone. I would definitely go to Ivan again.”
“Micaela is the best. She just had my little sweetheart for 6 days and was amazing. She updated me and sent pictures that made me feel so comfortable while I was traveling. I will definitely be calling her again and again! Thank you so much for going above and beyond and helping me out Micaela!”
“Kathryn and Jason were amazing pet sitters for our labradoodle while we were away! Great communications, easy to schedule drop off/ pick up, and most importantly they were very caring for our pup. She clearly had a great time with them. We will definitely book with them again!”
“Our dog was really happy during his stay and Edward seemed equally happy to spend time caring for him. Edward was very flexible, easy to communicate with, and provided many photos of their adventures.”
“Mario and Julia did an amazing job taking care of my pup. Communication was great, Mario sent tons of adorable pictures and provided daily updates. My pup got a lot of exercise at the dog park and made lots of new doggie friends. They also gave her a lot of love. I left my pup with them for a whole two weeks and was worried but she had such a blast with them. I will book again and highly recommend!”
“I’m soooo happy I found Kelly. We received daily updates and Kenzie loved all the friends she met. Our dog loves long walks and even though it rained the whole week, Kelly took every opportunity to walk her when it stopped raining. She also gave Kenzie a goodie bag and a Xmas present when we picked her up.”
“Our dog Miso had a great time with Jihyun and her dog Tori. We feel very connected with frequent photo and video updates of Miso. Thank you for your help watching over Miso!”
“It's the first time our boy boarding from home for long period of time. Zicheng made it a lot easier than it could be, following all of our directions carefully, and giving constant updates with photo. It was a pleasant experience. Thank you.”
About: What sets me apart is the combination of hands-on experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments, along with the level of care and attention I genuinely put into every dog I look after. I’ve worked closely with a young puppy, attending training sessions and learning how to reinforce positive behaviors and create an environment where a dog can thrive. I’m comfortable continuing training routines, maintaining structure, and helping puppies build good habits. On the other end of the spectrum, I also have experience caring for senior dogs who require extra patience and support—whether that’s assisting with mobility, following specific diets, or adapting to hearing and vision loss. I regularly dog sit for friends with very different needs, from high-energy dogs who need multiple long walks a day to older dogs who require a slower pace and more hands-on care. I’ve also cared for multiple dogs at once, making sure each one gets the individual attention they need. I pride myself on being adaptable and attentive, tailoring my care to each dog’s personality, routine, and comfort level. Beyond experience, what truly sets me apart is how deeply I care. I treat every dog like family, not just a job. I’ve even gone out of my way on multiple occasions to help neighbors find their lost dogs and have successfully helped reunite them with their owners several times. I believe it’s our responsibility to create a safe, loving, and positive environment where dogs feel relaxed, happy, and encouraged—and that’s exactly the kind of care I provide every time. I work full-time with a flexible hybrid schedule, which allows me to plan ahead one or two weeks in advance for working on site or at home. On days I go into the office, I can take pups on walks in the early morning or evening. I’m fully available for boarding on weekends, and depending on my work schedule, I can also offer overnight boarding during the week. I do my best to be flexible and accommodate each dog’s routine—whether that means early morning walks, regular potty breaks, or sticking closely to their usual schedule. If your pup is used to a 7am walk, I’m more than happy to start the day early to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I prioritize creating a safe, clean, and comfortable environment that helps every dog feel at ease, whether they’re in my home or their own. In my home, I have a private, fenced backyard that’s only accessible through my apartment, so your dog can safely enjoy fresh air. It’s partially covered as well, providing some protection from rain. Inside, I keep my space clean and dog-friendly, with cushioned area rugs to prevent slipping and give dogs a comfortable place to walk, play, or relax. I also provide cozy blankets and an outdoor dog bed so they have options for resting wherever they feel most comfortable. Cleanliness and routine are very important to me—I wash food bowls after each use and refresh water bowls daily. Dogs are welcome on my furniture, but I always respect and follow your home rules to maintain consistency. If your dog isn’t allowed on furniture, I will reinforce those same boundaries. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m very respectful of their space and attentive to instructions. I carefully follow all provided routines, house rules, and notes to ensure your dog experiences as much consistency and comfort as possible while you’re away.
“Michael was a great sitter. He provided daily updates with pictures and videos. He accommodated Perseus’s puppy energy and also did some light training with him. He also gave tips on his behavior going forward. Highly recommended!”
“Lawrence and his wife provided kind and thoughtful support to our older dog over a long weekend. Communication was excellent before and during the care period. They paid attention to the instructions I shared and seemed genuinely invested in a good experience for our dog. Thank you!”
“Tina was professional and cared for Bruno as if he were her own. She even took him on a hike with her dog, Sharky. Bruno had a playmate and truly found a home away from home.”
“Evie watched our dog Willow for a little over a week while we were on vacation. From the regular updates we got, I can tell that she was giving so much care and attention to Willow, and that Willow loved hanging out with her as well! We really appreciate the peace of mind especially as this is the longest we’ve left our dog with a sitter on rover. We would definitely use her services again.”
About: My family and I have a love for animals. We have gone through many different species of pets including dogs, cats, hamsters, bunnies, and birds. Apart from my family, I’ve helped house-sit and cared for my friend’s dog for a few years now whenever she’s away. During that time, I’ve handled daily walks, feeding, and making sure the dog feels safe and comfortable at home. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and extra availability to care for and walk dogs. I’m able to provide consistent attention and accommodate different walking times throughout the week. I like to follow their normal routine to keep them comfortable. I make sure they are fed on time, get regular walks, have fresh water, and receive plenty of attention and playtime.
“Kristine took great care of Tilly! I loved receiving so many pictures and updates through the stay! I always like my pup was safe and secure for her first stay here. Would definitely have Tilly stay with Kristine again :)”
“Annie is a dedicated animal lover! My dog Scooby usually hates people, but after a week of boarding with her he already grew to love her. She sends so many pictures and videos and is very insightful and knowledgeable about dogs and their peculiar behaviors. She seems to understand Scooby completely! Annie is super responsive. I definitely recommend booking her 🥰”

“Kristin took amazing care of our cats again—this is our second time booking with her, and she continues to exceed expectations. One of our cats is pretty shy, and Kristin was incredibly patient and thoughtful in building trust. It was great to see how comfortable they became with him over time. She kept us updated with regular photos and notes, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. Everything was handled smoothly and professionally, and it’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. We’ll definitely continue booking with Kristin—highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive sitter!”
“Kecheng took great care of our cat Gnocchi with daily drop in visits for two weeks. His updates were prompt and thorough, and he was very easy to get a hold of when needed. I would highly recommend him for your cat sitting needs!!”
“Xilin was an amazing cat sitter! She did daily drop-in visits while I was on vacation and took such great care of my cat. Every visit, she made sure he was fed, his litter box was cleaned, and his water was refilled. She also spent time playing with him and giving him attention, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly genuinely cares about animals. I came home to a happy, relaxed cat and a clean space. I would absolutely book Xilin again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and thoughtful pet sitter!”
“Rong was super sweet and really attentive with Stella. Stella usually takes a while to warm up to people, but she seemed very comfortable with Rong right away. Rong also paid attention to the little things around the apartment and kept me updated, which I really appreciated. Would definitely book with her again.”
“Sameena did an outstanding job, 5 stars are not enough. Sameena is very responsive and updates frequently. She was very comfortable providing medicine and supplements to my elderly kitty (credit to her education in animal science) and was even flexible enough to extend her visit by another day. I would certainly book Sameena again if I need another sitter.”
“Jennifer was fantastic with our cat, Pickles. She met us at the house a week in advance. Pickles was immediately comfortable with her, which is atypical. Jennifer has a calm demeanor and knows exactly how to approach a cat who is typically protective of her surroundings. She spent 30/min per day for 4 days, and Pickles was happy to see Jennifer and meowed at the door when she left. Thank you!”
“Emmy went above and beyond to take care of our adult cat and our two foster kittens. She was extremely communicative, and took time to send detailed updates of all three cats and pictures of them playing. She kindly helped clean up after our two foster kittens when they had accidents in the first couple of days, and also looked after them after they got spayed and neutered. We came home to three very happy cats, so we can't recommend Emmy enough and will definitely be rebooking her in the future.”
About: 🐾 Pet Care Experience Summary With over 11 years of hands-on experience caring for six cats, I bring deep compassion, responsibility, and attentiveness to every aspect of pet care. My household includes one cat with a medical condition requiring a specialized diet and asthma management, giving me the skills and sensitivity to handle pets with unique health needs. This experience has instilled a strong routine of monitoring subtle behavior changes and health signs—early detection is key, and I pride myself on being observant and proactive. In addition to feline care, I’ve provided dog sitting for family members for 5 years, adapting to different breeds, temperaments, and daily routines. Whether walking, playing, feeding, or managing medications, I ensure dogs are cared for with the same consistency and affection I give my own pets. ⸻ 🌟 Daily Responsibilities & Care Habits • Clean litter boxes daily to maintain a hygienic, odor-free environment. • Closely monitor behavior, appetite, and mood shifts for early signs of illness or stress. • Manage medication and special diets confidently, with reliable routines and documentation. • Provide engaged companionship, including playtime, brushing, and snuggles. • Capture joyful, candid moments—I love taking pet photos and often share them with owners to give peace of mind.
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and attention I give to every dog. I have experience caring for my own dogs and also dogs belonging to my neighbors, adapting to different routines, personalities, and needs while always providing a safe, calm, and loving environment Pet care fits very well into my daily routine. I work for a few hours early in the morning, I am busy during the afternoon starting from 1 pm, and in the evening I am free again. This schedule allows me to dedicate quality time, attention, and care to pets I always prioritize safety, trust, and comfort when caring for pets, whether in my home or in a client’s home. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, feeding instructions, and any specific needs. I make sure the environment is clean, calm, and secure, and I give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and affection so they feel safe and relaxed at all times
“Katherine was great! We were traveling for a couple of weeks, and Katherine did great taking care of our kitties. Our cats liked her right away. Katherine is also very easy to communicate with and responds really quickly, which was helpful when we had any questions, or worries about our kitties. Thank you Katherine!”
“Amanda took great care of our cat and sent us several photos every time she visited. She also handled several difficulties with my apartment. Really appreciate the help!”
“Poppy took care of my cat when I was away for a few days. She was great! My cat clearly liked and trusted her. I'm really pleased and wouldn't hesitate to book with Poppy again.”
“Yamzel took great care of my cat while I was away👍She sent detailed daily updates and photos every day, which really helped me feel relaxed and worry-free during my trip. My cat is super shy and usually hides from new people, but Yamzel still managed to find him and send me cute pictures and updates. She also thoughtfully kept an eye on her food and supplies, which I really appreciated. I felt really reassured knowing my cat was in good hands. I’d definitely book with Yamzel again and would happily recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter 😊”
About: I have been a dedicated pet parent and caregiver for both dogs and cats since I was 10 years old. In addition to my own dog and cat, I have years of experience checking in on, feeding, and playing with pets for neighbors and friends. I am a very active person who enjoys long walks, and I am equally comfortable providing the quiet, specialized attention that cats often need. Whether your pet needs a high-energy hike or a patient companion for cuddles, I am happy to follow their specific routine to keep them happy and safe.
About: I've grown up with cats my whole life and cared for my own until I lost her about a year ago. I miss having a cat around and would love the chance to care for yours. I’m very comfortable with daily feedings, litter box care, playtime, and spending the time to earn a cat’s trust. My cat’s favorite place to be scratched was right under the chin, and I became pretty skilled at finding that exact sweet spot. That said, I know every cat is different. I’m happy to learn what makes yours happiest, and I always move at their pace. I have experience with very shy cats and know how to remain a calm presence until they feel comfortable enough to approach me.

“Toffee was cared extremely well by Yiteng and his wife during the full-day daycare period. This is the first time our dog Toffee went to a completely new place and be cared by a "total stranger", which made Toffee super stressed and hard to do her routine normally. But thanks to the loving cares Toffee received, Yiteng's wife made Toffee feeling like at home and getting comfortable in the new place very quickly. We received many update messages and videos/pictures during the day to see how Toffee was doing and also knowing that Toffee got full attention from the sitter. Another factor we liked the service the most is the nice outdoor environment where Toffee could walk around and do her potty break, which was similar to Toffee's regular routine that she used to while at home. This made it so much easier for Toffee to get acclimated quickly. We required specific feeding routine for Toffee starting with the soft food we made (need to be refrigerated) followed by the hard food. Yiteng's wife is so accommodating on all of our requests, never say NO to any of our suggestions. I am truly grateful for the super loving care Toffee got and I strongly recommend the service from Yiteng's family. I am definitely planning to book this service again.”
“Very clean home and our pup seemed like he really enjoyed his stay with Hui! She sent photos throughout the day and was very attentive. I appreciate her understanding and care with puppy. I hope she can watch Harvey in the future!”
About: Having raised my own puppy and dogsat for friends with anxious pups, I'm well versed in how to provide for a pup's full time needs. I can also provide puppy training in house manners (for example: waiting patiently to be fed, waiting at doors, simple commands). My care and attention to my own puppy, Chef, is full time and I am super excited to share that with your pup. We can go on excursions or hang around the house or play fetch at the dogpark. Whatever your pup is up for. I have a fenced yard and a friendly pup for your pup(s) to play with! And if your pup doesn't want company for whatever reason, I have gates and crates to make sure they are safe and happy in their own space. Feel free to request photos/videos and check in anytime for updates.
“Courtney is an amazing sitter. My dachshund Penny can be a bit shy at first but immediately warmed up to Courtney and her pups. She had the best first visit, was tired out and on second visit was crying to go inside right when we pulled up! Thank you Courtney for taking such good care of my Penny and treating her like your own!”
“Ming-Ching and Koko were fantastic with my shy dog. She sent many photos and videos of him throughout the day so I could have peace of mind that my dog was in good hands! He came home and slept well after a big day :)”
“Amanda is an absolute pleasure to work worth. She provides thorough updates to give you peace of mind when you’re away from your pet. Definitely looking to keep Amanda as one of my long term care takers for my dog when I’m away.”

“Olivia went to Katharine for two days! I love that Katharine keeps Olivia active, gives her a lot of attention and takes awesome photos! Katharine is very caring and Olivia can’t wait to go back and spend the day with her. I highly recommend her. 🙂”
“I'm sure my pup enjoyed the stay. Surya kept us updated on his food and we also got many pictures of our pup time to time. Would definitely chose him again to look after our boy. Thanks again for taking great care of Tusk!”
“Zhenting and her family are so friendly and caring. Today was the first day I sent my dogs to daycare and I was very nervous about it but they had a good time with Zhenting! She sends me pictures and messages frequently throughout the day. Very mindful and lovely family!”
“Diana was so welcoming and accommodating to Teddy. They have a lovely house with a big back yard that he loved. She was also flexible with seeing whether Teddy would get along with other dogs she was boarding. The pictures she sent me that day made me feel like Teddy was in such good hands. He loved it there.”
“Andy was so great with my enormous, energetic puppy! Took him on lots of walks, sent lots of pictures, and Beau was really excited to come back the next day and tired out when I picked him up. Thank you so much Andy!”
About: I have years of hands-on multi-pet care experience, lived with two dogs, two rabbits, and two birds. I worked as a cat sitter over two years in the UK and built a base of repeat clients.

About: Hi! I am Matthew, a reliable sitter who genuinely loves spending time with animals. I can always adjust to the energy of an animal to make sure they feel loved, safe, and understood. I have had a dog for almost my whole life and do great with my friends and family pets when I take care of them. I can always make sure to pay attention to your pet and give them whatever care they need whether it’s an hour walk or a nap after. I am a college student home for summer with some free time on my hands so I have the ability to be flexible. I keep a consistent routine with my studies, but can always make time for a loving pet. I care for pets by just trying to understand their needs. Having a dog for most my life has allowed me to know what is good for dogs and what is not, and I can always learn more to each dog specifically. Loving an animal is easy, so I will always care for them like one of my own.

“Heleen was very punctual and prompt in responding. She came to walk lucky at exactly 7:45am which I really appreciated. She was transparent in communicating any potential concerns walking Lucky in our busy neighborhood. Would definitely have her walk our dog again!”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Emmy! She’s walked our dog Wiggles daily for several months now and has taken care of him (and our cat) while we have been out of town for several days. Emmy is so thoroughly capable that knowing that our dog is well cared for is one thing we never worry about while we’re away. Emmy has terrific sense for what animals want and need – she even manages to coax our elusive cat out of hiding when she visits. Emmy has a firm yet loving manner that our highly neurotic Cotton really responds to, and she’s taught us a few new tricks too about how to look after him! As an added bonus, her photography skills are excellent and it’s great fun to receive her wonderful photos each time she visits. Two thumbs (and all paws) up for Emmy!”
“Tiffany was great. Charli was very excited to see her & want to add she helped in very short notice to give Charli some outdoor time, and great walks. . 5 stars! Tiffany is very kind & reliable!”
About: I have volunteered in dog shelters + rescues for 4 years and worked in a dog clinic for a couple years under a veterinarian (Dog Adoption and Welfare Group and Carl Zaboly DVM in Santa Barbara, CA), so I am familiar with the behaviors of our bestest friends. I live in an apartment next to Leo J Ryan park and walking distance from Foster City dog park, where my small dog Mocha loves to play with other dogs. For boarding, if your dog is prone to anxiety around people and other dogs, I request that a short meet and greet be done prior. This is to ensure that your dog and I will be a good fit and to familiarize your dog with my presence. I work from home majority of the week, so walks will be given three times a day. If the weather permits, we will also go on hikes! As a dog parent myself, I understand the worry other dog parents have leaving their precious one in another’s care. Therefore, photos and updates will be sent multiple times a day unless otherwise instructed.
“Emma has been wonderful taking Koda on walks! She is very diligent about Koda’s condition and even applied cold compress when Koda’s limping without me asking her to. Emma is kind, caring and punctual! Will definitely recommend Emma to anyone to care for their furry friends!”
“Joann was absolutely amazing with our 5 year old service pup from start to finish - we met about a week before and she was super open and accommodating about our specific requests regarding his training! Thank you so much Joann, we really appreciate you!”
About: I started by taking care of my moms 4 dogs when she would go on vacations and needed a dog sitter. That really taught me how to feed them efficiently and when to take them outside to go potty. From there I learned how to hang out with them and play with them efficiently. I am a college student with classes Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday I am available for the entire day and night. On Wednesday and Friday I'm available at night, Monday I'm not because I have a night class. Staying over night is not a problem, along with check ins during the days even on school days. I love dogs and am really good at feeding them, taking them outside, and playing with them. I'm not a trainer, but someone who is good at taking care of them while you are away. My mom has 4 small dogs so I'm very familiar with smaller dogs, but I have also watched bigger dogs as well.
“Allison has been such an amazing "friend" to our dog, Kona. We can tell how much Kona is loved and cared for while we are away at work and school. We get regular updates on how Kona is doing, including pictures! Would definitely recommend Allison for your dog's needs!”
About: I've spent 13 years raising two rescues, including my six-breed mutt Gemini. Real patience, not just promised patience — she doesn't always bring the ball back during fetch, and that's taught me to meet every dog where they are. Your dog won't be a job to me. They'll be a guest, treated with the same patience, attention, and affection I give my own. I'm currently working project-based contract work remote, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm a copywriter, so I'll see your requests for care ASAP! I'm available M-T, F 9-12. In your home, I follow your routines exactly — feeding times, walk schedules, medications, and house rules. I keep doors and gates secured, never leave dogs unattended outside, and send photo updates so you know they're safe and happy. In my home, dogs are treated like family: supervised at all times, given a calm space to decompress, and introduced slowly to my own two rescues only if they're a good fit. Safety, comfort, and clear communication come first, always.
“Angelica was amazing! She was so accommodating, kind, and communicative, and responded quickly to everything. I felt completely at ease leaving Kaia with her, will definitely be booking again.”
“Amber has been a great walker for my dog. We’re new to the area and she’s been a wonderful tour guide for my little boy. She’s taken exceptional care of him, communicates consistently , and is always on time or early. I will definitely continue to use her services”

“Kathryn and Jason were amazing pet sitters for our labradoodle while we were away! Great communications, easy to schedule drop off/ pick up, and most importantly they were very caring for our pup. She clearly had a great time with them. We will definitely book with them again!”
“It's the first time our boy boarding from home for long period of time. Zicheng made it a lot easier than it could be, following all of our directions carefully, and giving constant updates with photo. It was a pleasant experience. Thank you.”
About: What sets me apart is the combination of hands-on experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments, along with the level of care and attention I genuinely put into every dog I look after. I’ve worked closely with a young puppy, attending training sessions and learning how to reinforce positive behaviors and create an environment where a dog can thrive. I’m comfortable continuing training routines, maintaining structure, and helping puppies build good habits. On the other end of the spectrum, I also have experience caring for senior dogs who require extra patience and support—whether that’s assisting with mobility, following specific diets, or adapting to hearing and vision loss. I regularly dog sit for friends with very different needs, from high-energy dogs who need multiple long walks a day to older dogs who require a slower pace and more hands-on care. I’ve also cared for multiple dogs at once, making sure each one gets the individual attention they need. I pride myself on being adaptable and attentive, tailoring my care to each dog’s personality, routine, and comfort level. Beyond experience, what truly sets me apart is how deeply I care. I treat every dog like family, not just a job. I’ve even gone out of my way on multiple occasions to help neighbors find their lost dogs and have successfully helped reunite them with their owners several times. I believe it’s our responsibility to create a safe, loving, and positive environment where dogs feel relaxed, happy, and encouraged—and that’s exactly the kind of care I provide every time. I work full-time with a flexible hybrid schedule, which allows me to plan ahead one or two weeks in advance for working on site or at home. On days I go into the office, I can take pups on walks in the early morning or evening. I’m fully available for boarding on weekends, and depending on my work schedule, I can also offer overnight boarding during the week. I do my best to be flexible and accommodate each dog’s routine—whether that means early morning walks, regular potty breaks, or sticking closely to their usual schedule. If your pup is used to a 7am walk, I’m more than happy to start the day early to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I prioritize creating a safe, clean, and comfortable environment that helps every dog feel at ease, whether they’re in my home or their own. In my home, I have a private, fenced backyard that’s only accessible through my apartment, so your dog can safely enjoy fresh air. It’s partially covered as well, providing some protection from rain. Inside, I keep my space clean and dog-friendly, with cushioned area rugs to prevent slipping and give dogs a comfortable place to walk, play, or relax. I also provide cozy blankets and an outdoor dog bed so they have options for resting wherever they feel most comfortable. Cleanliness and routine are very important to me—I wash food bowls after each use and refresh water bowls daily. Dogs are welcome on my furniture, but I always respect and follow your home rules to maintain consistency. If your dog isn’t allowed on furniture, I will reinforce those same boundaries. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m very respectful of their space and attentive to instructions. I carefully follow all provided routines, house rules, and notes to ensure your dog experiences as much consistency and comfort as possible while you’re away.
“Evie watched our dog Willow for a little over a week while we were on vacation. From the regular updates we got, I can tell that she was giving so much care and attention to Willow, and that Willow loved hanging out with her as well! We really appreciate the peace of mind especially as this is the longest we’ve left our dog with a sitter on rover. We would definitely use her services again.”
About: My family and I have a love for animals. We have gone through many different species of pets including dogs, cats, hamsters, bunnies, and birds. Apart from my family, I’ve helped house-sit and cared for my friend’s dog for a few years now whenever she’s away. During that time, I’ve handled daily walks, feeding, and making sure the dog feels safe and comfortable at home. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and extra availability to care for and walk dogs. I’m able to provide consistent attention and accommodate different walking times throughout the week. I like to follow their normal routine to keep them comfortable. I make sure they are fed on time, get regular walks, have fresh water, and receive plenty of attention and playtime.
“Kristine took great care of Tilly! I loved receiving so many pictures and updates through the stay! I always like my pup was safe and secure for her first stay here. Would definitely have Tilly stay with Kristine again :)”
“Surya was awesome from our initial request, through our first meetup, to sharing wonderful photos to show us our boy had completely settled in (even on his first "sleep away"). So grateful for the recommendation from a friend who was a previous client on Rover. Highly recommend!”
“Communicative and I really enjoyed seeing pictures of our pup during her stay! Stella I'm sure enjoyed all the play time and walks~ Thank you! Would love for her to stay again!”
“Chiara is a gem of a dog sitter for my super senior Mighty Mouse. He had an update on his feeding routine and she was on top of it. She was very patient with him and his needs and kept me updated the whole stay. She provided peace of mind knowing that he was in her kind hands!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid and now I own little two dogs. My passion is taking care of furry friends. I’m currently staying at home, so I’ll have plenty of time to play and take care of your pets. I am available all day. I have two friendly dogs. My apartment is pet friendly and very sunny, so your pet will have a change to greet with cute friends here.
“Kiara and her family took great care of our 8 year old labradoodle for little over a week. Our puppy has some medical needs and we were very comfortable that he was well taken care of. Thank you Kiara”
“Andy took excellent care of our 10 year old Weimaraner over a long holiday break. She had lots of exercise and healthy treats (he verified if it was okay to give them to her first). Andy sent photos and videos of her often. We were very happy with her stay with him and Milo!”
“Ruo was an amazing dog sitter for my little pup! She had him for 5 days while we were away and I could tell he was super happy and well loved. She was great about keeping me updated on his day and sending pictures which I really appreciated. Honestly I think she is the best sitter we have ever had! Highly recommend and we will absolutely use her again.”
“AMAZING!!!! Thank you Jessica and Alex for the exceptional love and care you provided Kouna. I appreciate the frequent updates and photos throughout the day. It was evident that Kouna enjoyed being with you. Your photos of the food and medication are unprecedented. As my husband said, you gave Kouna the "Four Seasons" experience. Kouna can't wait to come back to your lovely home. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
“Cali loved her overnight boarding time with Alexa D. This was my first time as a Dog Mom using Rover and Alexa made me feel totally at ease leaving my high energy pup with her. She was an attentive communicator and patient with all of my questions. We had a meet and greet beforehand where we shared information and anything noteworthy about Cali. Alexa's knowledge of dogs, her experience, and all of the ways she cares for them were impressive. Thank you Alexa for taking such care of my baby girl!”
“Ashwin took great care of Jordy and he could not have had a better stay! Jordy loved his trip to the dog park and he had a great time with Ashwin’s dog, Chewy. Ashwin sent lots of photos and updates too!”
“Deborah did a fantastic job caring for my little guy, Boba. As it's my first time using Rover, she shared consistent updates with photos/videos, which put my mind at ease. She went above and beyond, took him on walks/parks, and made Boba feel well cared for and happy. Boba had the time of his life under Deborah's care.”
“Allison was very professional and caring. She responded very fast to our request and took very good care of our dog Canary. Canary had a lot of fun staying at Allison's place and got to play with other dogs all the time. I will board my dog again with Allison for sure.”
