“Our dog is 10yrs old & this was the first time we needed to find a place to leave her for 4 days. I could see after our initial meeting that Cheryl has passion for animals, the knowledge to care for them & the right environment to make them feel at home. It was comforting to know our girl was in good Hands. We had no worries & received some great pictures throughout her stay. If you need any of the services Cheryl offers, look no further ... She will not disappoint! Thank you again!!”
“Anthony did an amazing job watching my dog Dior! Dior is a fun, playful German Shepherd/Husky mix, and Anthony took such great care of her. He was patient, attentive, and made sure she got plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention. It was obvious Dior felt comfortable and happy with him the entire time. I really appreciated the updates and the peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands while I was away. He sent a lot of pictures and videos throughout the week. I would absolutely trust Anthony to watch Dior again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
About: Hi, my name is Michelle. Over the years I’ve raised and trained many of my own pets and regularly dog sit for all of my family. I currently have one dog, a Rat Terrier named Memo. He is high energy but he's a happy boy and has the best temperament. For housesitting, please be advised that I will be bringing Memo to stay with me at your home. If you want to see more of my cutie, check out his bio. I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds, from playful puppies who need extra attention and playtime to older dogs who just need a slower pace and a little extra patience. I’m comfortable managing multiple dogs of all sizes. That includes 'pullers' and/or dog reactive from my experience walking dogs at shelters. Here are a few things I’m happy to help with: • Walks, playtime, and activities that keep your dog active and engaged • Puppy guidance and reinforcement of training routines if requested • Patient care for senior dogs or pets with special needs (including administering medications) • Flexible scheduling when possible • Pick up/Drop off within 5 miles of my house. (Main & Civic Center in Santa Ana) • Grooming (only the basics: bathing, drying, brushing.) Price depends on size and length of fur. Sorry, no nail trims. • Dependable care with the same love and attention I give my own dog. (Snuggling always included!) I'd love to schedule a meet-and-greet to meet you and your pet! I do project based work from home so I'm present and not tied down to a rigid schedule which means I have the time and flexibility to give your pet attention when needed. I have a Rat Terrier who gets a long with all dogs, he loves to play but is pretty respectful of dogs who are not into it. Dogs have free rein of my house. I spend a good amount of time with them outside in the yard, they are never let out without supervision.
“Both Lisa and her husband were the best with our boy. Constantly getting updates with texts, pictures, and videos. We could tell our boy was in great loving hands and would absolutely have them watch our boy again!!”
“I am so grateful to have found Emq to take care of my puppy while I went out of state! She is super welcoming and friendly! She provided consistent updates which included tons of pictures and videos. This definitely helped ease my anxiety and longing for my puppy while I was away. Drop off and pick up were smooth and quick. I will definitely be a returning customer :D Thank you so much for everything!”
“Stella had a great time and was loved on lots. We were able to completely relax while in our trip thanks to daily pics. Sabrina is quick to respond and has a welcoming home. Highly recommend!”
“Neil was amazing with our little guy while we hung out for the weekend in the San Diego! He provided plenty of updates and made us feel at ease that our pup was in the best hands! We definitely would love to have Neil as Tyson’s sitter again whenever we are in the area again.”
“Our pup, Daisy, can be slow to warm up to new places, especially when she realizes we’re leaving her behind. I loved Patricia’s set up to make sure dogs are isolated as a new one is introduced. By the time we picked Daisy up, it was clear she had a marvelous time! She really really did not want to leave!! We’ll definitely be back and appreciate Patricia’s kindness and flexibility”
“Our dogs stayed with Flor for a week while we were on vacation. Received daily updates and feedback from her. She's great. We have now used her 3x and I just booked our 4th weekend with her. Thank YOU FLOR. You are the best and the dogs look happy in the pics!”
“Amy was fantastic with Ruthie! She provided regular updates and pictures while we were on vacation, which really put our minds at ease. Her communication was excellent and we always felt in the loop. She was also very attentive to Ruthie's health and noticed some anxiety-related behaviors, which we really appreciated (even though it turned out to be nothing serious, as this has happened before). We highly recommend Amy as a dog sitter - she's caring, responsible, and clearly loves animals.”
“Diana was very sweet and treated our dog as if it was her own! She made sure to stay with him and watch him every time he wanted to be in the backyard and made sure he felt safe even though he is an anxious dog. I was nervous leaving my dog in someone else’s care for the first time but she sent photo and video updates that made me feel a lot better! Diana is amazing and I highly recommend booking her!”
“Rebecca is amazing. We almost never leave our dog with anyone but family, but had to travel for a family wedding a couple times over the past couple years and felt so comfortable leaving him with Rebecca. She is warm, incredibly thorough, and clearly cares deeply about dogs. I would recommend her to anyone.”
“Doug is very friendly and responsible and knows about beagles very well which was a bonus for our hunting dog. Bagel came home so tired and happy that explained everything! Thank you Doug!”
“Jacqueline was great willing to greet us for a interview, wake-up super early and stay up extra late so our fur babies could sleep at home and we could have a full day out of town visiting family. She sent us the cutest photos. And the dogs were happy when we picked them up. It's wonderful knowing someone I can trust with these two.”
“Eunice was absolutely amazing! She exceeded all of our expectations with her thorough communications and level of care provided to our beloved Corgi. Not only did she followed all the care instructions for our pup, she went the extra miles to make Muncie feel loved and spoiled - taking her on social outings and hikes to keep her entertained! She sent us daily photos and detailed updates, which gave us such peace of mind during those 7 nights we were away. Our dog felt right at home with Eunice. She is definitely our go-to sitter from now on! Thank you, Eunice, for taking such great care of Muncie!”
“Alison was an amazing sitter. She was super flexible with our need to adjust the date of our pick up and drop off. I got regular updates on our dog and it seemed like he had a great time.”
“This was my first time leaving Bear with anyone and I’m glad to have found Isabel! She was able to watch him an extra night when my flight was delayed last minute. He’s an anxious dog with separation anxiety, but she was patient and gave me updates. :)”
“Wow, was this a great experience! Dubele and her daughter, Van were incredibly communicative, kind, and patient with me from first contact all the way to picking my cats up at the end of the booking. They sent daily photos and provided updates as often as I asked (and even when I didn’t!). Overall, I cannot recommend Dubele enough as a petsitter. My cats, who are terrified of new people, were curled up on her lap by day 2! I will definitely be using their services again anytime my cats need overnight boarding.”

“Aurora-Jay is the best! She has a real connection with cats and took such good care of my fur babies while I was away. Attention to details and spent quality time with them daily. They’ll be very happy to see her in the future and I can travel worry-free knowing AJ is caring for them!”
“I found Chen through Rover to drop in and take care of my two cats for six days while I was away, and she did an excellent job. From the start, she carefully wrote down all the details I shared about my cats’ routines, which gave me confidence that she truly listened and cared. Every day, she provided thorough and timely updates, including how much each cat ate, their litter box habits, and their energy levels. She consistently refreshed their water, fed them meals and treats as instructed, and made an effort to interact and engage with both cats so they wouldn’t feel lonely. Chen comes across as very responsible, well-educated, and trustworthy. Because of her attentiveness and clear communication, I felt much less anxious leaving both my cats and my home in her care. I highly recommend Chen to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter, and I will definitely book her again in the future.”
“Mahaam saved me in a pinch with our new kitty, Mochi. She was communicative, reliable and knowledgeable. A very positive experience and i look forward to working with Mahaam again.”
“Astrid was absolutely amazing with our 2 boys! We had no one to turn to while we were away for our wedding and Astrid was able to provide such excellent service and keep them company! We are so so grateful for her and anyone who books with her can be confident that their pets are in great hands!”
“I got lucky when I found Lauren. She definitely understands and is very knowledgeable about cats. She took amazing care of my cats. She sent me updates daily and even took a picture of one of my cats. In addition, she brought in my trash cans which I left out before leaving for my trip. If you're looking for someone who knows a lot about cats, takes very good care of your cat(s) and provides daily updates, I highly recommend Lauren. She is very good, reliable, and trustoworthy. I won't hesitate to use Lauren again in the future.”
About: I’ve taken care of cats off and on for years. My friends and neighbors have trusted me to care for their beloved cats. I treat them all as my own. I’m happy to drop in and play or give them meals and always lots of love.
“Bailey is reliable and communicative, and most importantly, my cats love her! She was able to get my cat to take a pill during each visit with patience and care.”
“Carissa did a wonderful job taking care of my 3 black cats. She did everything perfectly and sent pictures of my cats as well. Friendly and professional. I will definitely hire her again next time. 😻😻😻”
“Kailyr is a caring, attentive, and responsive sitter! One of my boys needed medication while I was away and she was able to give it to him no problem. You can tell she truly cared for my cats and is an animal lover. Would love to book with her again!”
About: Dogs have always been a part to my life since I was little. My current boy is a sweet and gentle rescue from Korea. I live in a spacious townhome with a backyard so your dog will have plenty of attention and space to run around. Finding the right person is the most important part, so from walking to pet sitting, I am a patient, compassionate, and knowledgable choice. If you have specific instructions for your dog, I always make it my priority to review carefully and follow precisely. Expect lots of photo and video updates when you book with me😊 Since I work remotely, I’m home most of the day and love being able to give dogs plenty of attention and companionship. I only take one Rover client at a time (alongside my dog Prince), so your pup will get lots of care and undivided attention. Prince is very friendly and social, so your dog will have a sweet, playful buddy to keep them company too. I live in a spacious townhome with a fenced patio for safe outdoor breaks. I’m very intentional about creating a calm, secure space where dogs can feel comfortable and relaxed. I follow your care instructions closely and treat every dog like my own, making sure they feel safe, understood, and well cared for. If your dog has medications, supplements, or any special requirements, I’m extremely detail oriented and happy to accommodate. I set timers and stick closely to feeding schedules, potty routines, and any specific instructions to ensure consistency and peace of mind while you’re away.
“Excellent care and communication throughout the duration of my trip. Took extra care with elderly pet that was greatly appreciated! Also provided daily photos of my fur babies. Highly recommended. We’ll definitely rebook in the future.”
“Sarah checks in on and walks my puppy while I am at work. I was nervous about leaving my puppy alone all day, but Sarah has made the process very smooth. She takes incredible care of my sometimes challenging puppy, and I come home to a happy dog every day. Sarah is great about sending pics and updates, and I would highly recommend her to take care of your fur babies.”
“Wen was extremely caring and conscientious with my cat. She went the extra mile to do make sure all the details for cat sitting were in place beforehand. She made sure my cat got everything he needed, including quality time. Plenty of photos and videos were taken along with diligently using the in-app features to track how my cat was doing. I highly recommend Wen!”

“She did great! We went to Disney for the day and my little Charlie loved it. He got to play with other small dogs all day. Cheryl even hand fed our dog because he gets so excited and anxious that he won't eat. She even sent us pictures of him running around everywhere.”
“Our dog, Lucy, returned home after a day with Ema and three other doggie friends content and at ease. Ema was great about sending videos and pictures of Lucy throughout the day. In one picture Lucy was happily lying next to Ema, completely relaxed. Ema also took the time to ask about Lucy's habits and needs, which I appreciated. We are happy to have found Ema thru Rover and look forward to Lucy having more chances to spend time with Ema and her two doggie family.”
“It’s no surprise Candi is the best dog sitter around. She sends me photo updates throughout the day, completely puts my mind at ease while I’m at work. Her updates are so sweet, and it’s clear how much she genuinely cares. Quotta feels completely at home with her🥰tail wagging, cozy naps, and all!”
“Hanah & Dabin were absolutely amazing and went above and beyond! We’re so happy and they will be our go to whenever we need a sitter in OC! We know how great they are because our dog fell asleep in the car and starting snoring immediately, that’s how much fun Ghost had today. I’m usually very anxious leaving Ghost with a sitter but they absolutely exceeded my expectations!! Hourly updates and photos, it made me enjoy my time without worrying about our baby. Truly amazing and high quality, we are so happy and will recommend to anyone we know in the area that’s in need!!”
“Emma had a great time at Patricia's house. She was very relaxed and happy when I picked her up. Patricia lives a very short drive from the Costa Mesa Fairgrounds so if you are attending an all-day event there and don't want to have to worry about leaving your furry friend to fend for themselves all day, I highly recommend leaving your pet with Patricia. She is knowledgeable about dogs and very conscientious, having gone the extra mile to ensure that Emma was not able to get to any other animal's food (since Emma has food allergies). Patricia also texted me pics during the day of Emma enjoying her walk, which further helped to make my day more enjoyable by putting my mind at ease. I will not hesitate to book with Patricia again the next time I'm in the area!”
“Lisa took care of my Daisy on Friday October 29. Lisa is very great! She was very communicative and was constantly sending me pictures of my puppy girl, which I really enjoyed. With the pictures and videos gave me that peace of mind that my baby was in good hands.”
“I had been searching for a daycare service I could truly trust with my baby for a long time. My dog has pretty severe separation anxiety, but even after Steven and Kim-Anh learned about it, they were very understanding and happy to take care of Mahur. She is usually very cautious around new people, but she seemed to feel safe and comfortable in their home. Both Steven and Kim are very passionate about training, and they spent a lot of time playing with and caring for Mahur. I finally feel relieved knowing that I’ve found a daycare I can trust completely. I would absolutely love to continue bringing her here in the future.”
About: Hello, this is Joey! I have always had a fondness for dogs throughout my life. I have helped my extended family with watching their elderly dog, who has had a lot of problems with most people but she really likes me. I make sure to approach all pets with kindness and acceptance. Regardless of the challenge, I want to help out pets and seeing dig smiles fills me with joy! I currently work from home with a flexible schedule. Whenever I am needs, I will do my best to accommodate their wishes. As long as you give me some ample time, I will make my schedule work for you! I live with my dog in my apartment but my husband and I always make sure to take her out for walks, play with her, and take her to the dog park to help keep her fit. For my extended family’s elderly dog, I make sure to watch her closely, give her easy to eat snacks, and take her into the backyard to get some exercise. I never rush her and make sure to wait for however long she need.
“Mariela & Dalton are cool vibe dog people. This really helped my two pups settle in quickly and relax. Communication was spot on! Thanks for taking great care with the girls.”
“Ashley has a heart of gold and I felt as if my puppy was with family. She came home tired from a good day of affection and play after a great day and I am looking forward to her next stay! Thank you Ashley and family! ♥️”
“Diane was very patient with my Max and gave him space to adjust to new surroundings. She sent me an update with a picture which put me at ease knowing he was doing okay. I know he was in good hands with Diane and will definitely bring him back.”
About: I am the biggest dog person you will ever meet! I grew up taking care of a dog until my senior year of high school when she sadly passed away. In my senior year of college my roommate and I owned and took care of a senior dog. After she passed I decided to provide dog sitting services in the Berkeley area. I have experience with both large and small dogs, dogs that are leash reactive, dogs that are anxious, and dogs with a ton of energy! Additionally, throughout high school and over COVID I volunteered at a local animal shelter and provided dog walking and dog sitting services in Orange County! I've been told that I have a way with dogs, with many owners surprised that their normally timid pup warms up to me quickly. If you need to know your dog's in good hands, I am more than happy to give them a wonderful stay! I am home for two months this summer before I move to Ireland. My only plan for the summer is get ready for my move as well as train for my first marathon! I'm also looking to spend as much time outdoors as possible, including the park, the beach, hikes, and walks, that I would gladly have a furry friend accompany me on. In the evenings I typically like to get cozy and read or watch TV, and I would appreciate a cuddle buddy. I have a big, fenced backyard that would be any dog's paradise! I'm also more than happy to take any dog on a field trip to have some fun in the sun! I can provide lengthy walks multiple times a day and even have the dog accompany me on runs if they need to get some of their extra energy out.
“We were so so happy with Hung and Bernard! It was easy to find their place, close to Disneyland, and they were very responsive! They sent us photos with comments, and we were confident that our Joe was well taken care of. Absolutely the highest recommendation!!”
About: I am here to care and support your pet! No matter the size or energy level, I am excited to get to know your furry friend. I am a college student open early morning, afternoons and evenings on weekdays, and all day weekends!! I am comfortable walking all sized, ages and breeds of dogs and cats! I am here to setup a safe, enriching and fun environment for your pets! I am comfortable with all sizes of animals and providing any support necessary
“Nancy and Richard are amazing pet day care parents. They are so easy to work with and gave Kona an amazing experience. Multiple walks and cuddles. It was his first time away from home and it was obvious that he enjoyed his time with them. I would highly recommend Nancy and Richard to anyone who needs exceptional care for their pup with the knowledge that they are in the best hands possible.”
“Ashley was amazing with Gigi! She took great care of her and kept me updated the whole time. I could tell Gigi felt super comfortable and loved. Definitely booking with her again! 🐾💕”
“Charlene was really great about communicating with us prior to us leaving our dog with her on relatively short notice. She is very friendly, responsible, and kept in contact with us about how our dog was doing in her care. Would highly recommend and book again in the future!”
“After boarding them with Rebecca, I decided to start using the daycare services for all 4 dogs. The dogs enjoy their day and enjoy playing with her puppy. I feel a sigh of relief knowing that they are not cooped up inside all day while I'm at work. I also enjoy the pictures that show the dogs either playing outside or relaxing inside.”

“First time using Rover and I’m really pleased with the service! Molly was great from the meet and greet to the actual dog walking service for our pup Scottie. Will definitely be booking with Molly again!”
“Jacquelin was great and friendly! She arrived on time, with a smile, and prepared to get started with her doggy bags and treats. My pup was a happy camper after his walk. She even gave a recommendation for a leash since I am on the search for one that makes sense four our needs. Would use her services agian and for sure recommend.”
“Bella was fantastic! Very communicative, on time and happy to do what the dogs needed! She asked a lot of questions. Indie and Bo are a handful, I don't generally leave them behind, but I would call Bella again and again! She was great with them!”
“Dahlia is amazing! She absolutely loves our pups and always take great care of them. She also sends great updates and takes the best candid pictures of our pups. The pictures are so cute that I screen save them and share them.”
About: Hi! I recently graduated from UCSB and moved back home, where I live with my own one-year-old Goldendoodle Willow (who I’ve raised since she was 8 weeks old) and my mom’s two dogs—a sweet Goldendoodle and a Husky. All three love hanging with new dogs of all sizes! I’ve always been an animal lover and truly enjoy caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I’ll treat them like part of the family. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns I’d love to help! Because I have a puppy at home, I have managed my schedule around her needs and can do the same for your pups! Since moving home I have all the free time working remote, I’d love to hangout with your dogs and I know my dogs would too! Our yard is fully fenced in with grass and lots of area to run. We have a separate pool area that’s closed off, but if your dog likes to swim that can be arranged as well! Our home is one story and I will be with the dogs the whole time.
“We are moving to another state and heartbroken to be leaving Nadine. We used them almost 5 days a week for over 6 months and could not have been happier with them. We wish we could bring Nadine and Josh with us. They have been such a blessing for us and our pup!”

“Shea has been absolutely amazing with my dog, Harley. From the very beginning, her communication has been excellent, she provides detailed updates after every walk along with photos, which I genuinely look forward to reading each day. It’s clear she truly cares about the dogs she works with. Harley is very comfortable with her, which gives me a lot of peace of mind. Shea goes above and beyond, not only with her attentiveness and reliability, but also through thoughtful gestures like the personalized magnet she made for Harley, which was such a nice surprise. I’m incredibly grateful we found her and will definitely be working with her again. I highly recommend Shea to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and professional dog walker.”
“I can't thank Sarah enough for taking such great care of Luna while I was away. Luna was happy, well-exercised, and even seemed calmer when I returned. Sarah kept me updated with photos and notes, which gave me peace of mind. Highly recommend Sarah’s services!”
About: I know how to groom all type of dog hair if you like. They will love all the adventures we will go on. They will always feel welcomed and cared for at all times. I will shower them if you ask. Would love to take care of any dog. I do not mind picking up after them, that is my job. I always have treats and chew toys with me. I will always be available for them when you need me there. Holidays included as well. Will play with them for as long as they want(tummy rubs included). Planning to go to college to learn more about taking care of dogs full time soon. Will always go home satisfied with a full tummy and with a smile on their face. I am currently working a part time job. I do not work much so my availability is very open. My job fluctuates week by week but will always let you know ahead of time. I have a fenced home. My home is also pretty big so very spacious for any pets. I also live in a quiet neighborhood so they will not have to worry about loud sounds.
“This review is overdue! We first booked Shellby a few months back on very short notice. It was a very last-minute request, and our usual walker/sitter was unavailable. I contacted Shellby and she got back to me very quickly. I was worried because I usually do a "meet and greet" any time we have a new sitter, but in this instance, it wasn't an option. Shelby was an excellent communicator leading up to her walking/feeding my dogs, and put my mind at ease. My dogs did great with her and the care they received was excellent. I've since rebooked Shellby and plan to do so again. I'm so glad I've found this great new dog walker. Definitely recommend her services!”
About: I grew up with dogs and currently have 2 cats. One of my cats is a senior (almost 20 years old) so I do have experience caring for a senior pet. I love animals and will treat yours as my own! I would prefer dogs who are kid friendly. About this sitter: My name is Tessa and I'm a stay-at-home mom of 3. I love animals and have 2 cats myself! I would love to make your dog a part of our family for the day or longer! Regarding my cats: I am able to keep my cats separate from your dog, if you are concerned about that. I think it’s best to keep them separate to avoid any issues. I put my cats in my primary bedroom upstairs along with all their stuff and they are perfectly fine! But if your dog is cat friendly, I don’t mind letting them interact a bit. My senior cat is just a little freaked out by high energy dogs but she calms down after a bit. My younger cat is probably more open to dogs, she’s very friendly and mellow. Either way, I’m happy to accommodate! I drop my 3 kids off at school Monday-Friday and I am done with that around 8:30am. I pick up my youngest at 1:40 and my middle child at 3pm. So I will have about 4 hours each day until pick up my youngest. I am also available most weekends. Just message me and will do my best to accommodate your schedule. We live in a 4 bedroom condo and I have a fenced in patio and plenty of walking space throughout my neighborhood. Your dogs will feel safe and right at home! I will also make sure that your dogs are safe and cared your dog is in my home!
“Kendall was wonderful with our two big pups. She was on time and so reliable! She followed our requests and even came a couple of times just to get to know them. Thank you so much, Kendall, we will definitely be calling you again! The dogs loved you!”
“Makenna is a great dependable pet sitter and her love of dogs really shows!! She is communicative, reliable and she cared for our dog like her own. Our dog is currently taking medication that makes her extremely thirsty and urinate frequently and Makenna was on top of her care. We’ve had both good and bad experiences with rover and this was a great experience. Thank you Makenna we will definitely reach out again the next time we need care for Penny.”
About: I am a passionate animal lover with experience walking dogs and pet sitting in my neighborhood during breaks from school. I’ve cared for animals of all sizes and temperaments, ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and well-loved. I always try to treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, or a little extra care, I’m excited to help meet their needs and keep their tails wagging! I'm a recently graduated English major from Chapman University and currently working on obtaining my Master’s degree from USC. My current routine leaves plenty of time open to take care of furry friends and give them the attention and love they need. I have one an indoor cat named Tigger who loves to play, sleep, and cuddle. Every day I ensure that she gets the care she needs by feeding her regularly, cleaning her litter box, and setting aside time each day to play with her and keep her active. I’m always attentive to a pets needs and make sure they’re comfortable and happy in my home

“Anthony did an amazing job watching my dog Dior! Dior is a fun, playful German Shepherd/Husky mix, and Anthony took such great care of her. He was patient, attentive, and made sure she got plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention. It was obvious Dior felt comfortable and happy with him the entire time. I really appreciated the updates and the peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands while I was away. He sent a lot of pictures and videos throughout the week. I would absolutely trust Anthony to watch Dior again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“Stella had a great time and was loved on lots. We were able to completely relax while in our trip thanks to daily pics. Sabrina is quick to respond and has a welcoming home. Highly recommend!”
“Our pup, Daisy, can be slow to warm up to new places, especially when she realizes we’re leaving her behind. I loved Patricia’s set up to make sure dogs are isolated as a new one is introduced. By the time we picked Daisy up, it was clear she had a marvelous time! She really really did not want to leave!! We’ll definitely be back and appreciate Patricia’s kindness and flexibility”
“Rebecca is amazing. We almost never leave our dog with anyone but family, but had to travel for a family wedding a couple times over the past couple years and felt so comfortable leaving him with Rebecca. She is warm, incredibly thorough, and clearly cares deeply about dogs. I would recommend her to anyone.”
“Doug is very friendly and responsible and knows about beagles very well which was a bonus for our hunting dog. Bagel came home so tired and happy that explained everything! Thank you Doug!”
“Jacqueline was great willing to greet us for a interview, wake-up super early and stay up extra late so our fur babies could sleep at home and we could have a full day out of town visiting family. She sent us the cutest photos. And the dogs were happy when we picked them up. It's wonderful knowing someone I can trust with these two.”
“Eunice was absolutely amazing! She exceeded all of our expectations with her thorough communications and level of care provided to our beloved Corgi. Not only did she followed all the care instructions for our pup, she went the extra miles to make Muncie feel loved and spoiled - taking her on social outings and hikes to keep her entertained! She sent us daily photos and detailed updates, which gave us such peace of mind during those 7 nights we were away. Our dog felt right at home with Eunice. She is definitely our go-to sitter from now on! Thank you, Eunice, for taking such great care of Muncie!”
“This was my first time leaving Bear with anyone and I’m glad to have found Isabel! She was able to watch him an extra night when my flight was delayed last minute. He’s an anxious dog with separation anxiety, but she was patient and gave me updates. :)”
“Stefeney took wonderful care of Brownie while we were on vacation. She kept us at ease by sending constant updates and pictures, which we really appreciated. Brownie clearly had a great time, especially with the golden retriever party. We are so grateful for the care and attention she gave and would absolutely book with her again.”
“Kun did a fantastic job as always! This is my second time leaving Blue with her and I always receive updates and see that she is getting a ton of attention and care. Definitely recommend!”
“This was the first time I’ve left Aria with a sitter. Kim was great and very patient in caring for Aria. Kim sent daily updates of photos and this help eased the family knowing Aria was enjoying her stay. Aria became friends with one of Kim’s pups which excited us to see that Aria wasn’t bored and had made a new friend!”
“We just picked our dog up from a 5-day stay with Heather and we are so happy! Heather and her family were awesome with Cassie. She sent us tons of pictures of play time, snuggle time, nap time, and even tortoise time. 😂. Thank you Heather for taking such good care of our girl!! We will definitely be back!!”
“Laura outdoes herself when caring for our pups! We have been avid rover users for years but she really takes the medal for spoiling them with such love! Between all the updates, adventures they go on, and souvenirs, they really are getting the most luxurious getaway! Thank you so much Laura!! Such an amazing find for us.”
“My puppy has a blast with Sarah and her cats. She sends regular updates with photos and is very accommodating with times for drop off and pick up. I'm so happy that my dog is in very capable hands with Sarah!”
“100% recommend Jocelyn! She kept us updated on Groot by sending us pictures. He was his typical happy self when we picked him up. We will definitely continue using her when we go out of town.”
“Absolutely wonderful sitter for our puppy! We will definitely use her services again. She sent us picture updates and was very flexible with our availability! So trustworthy and kind!”
“I found myself needing a dog sitter for my two dogs (1 timu terrier and one chunky chihuahua) for a 10 day stretch with only about four days notice after another sitter flaked on me. I booked Mollie and she contacted me right away to confirm discuss the details. It was very easy to set up. Drop off was very easy. She asked how frequently I wanted updates and I told her once a day is totally fine. She followed through with updates and pictures every day without me needing to ask, I could tell from her updates that they were acting like they do at home, so I had great peace of mind the whole time I was gone that they were in good hands. When I got back, pick up was likewise super easy. The dogs were happy and healthy, and the next time I need a sitter, Mollie will definitely be my first call.”
