“Joyce is FANTASTIC!! She came to the rescue at very short notice and was quick to respond, kind, calm, and extremely thoughtful. We had an emergency situation and needed someone to care for our pup for a week. Joyce responded right away and was able to take in our little guy the same night. Joyce sent daily pictures of our pup looking happier than ever under her care! My family and I are so grateful for Joyce. I will absolutely be hiring Joyce again for all my future doggy sitting needs! Thank you, Joyce!! You are an angel. ♥️”
“First time to use ROVER & found Joe. I was a bit nervous leaving Ana to a stranger . Joe sent me photos of Ana and I’m so happy I see her having a good time , interacting with other pets. Will book again next time:)”
“Jing was an amazing Dogsitter! We left Lilou with her for 10 days and you can tell Lilou was very well taken care of! Jing always provided updates twice per day as well as pictures. We knew our puppy was in good hands. When we picked her up, Lilou gave Jing a wet kiss in appreciation. We will definitely be using her again!”
“When we were out of town for 4 days last week, our dog Tater stayed with Adrienne, of course! She has taken care of Tater several times before, and we keep coming back to her because she and her husband Mike are so good to Tater and take such good care of him. Her communication is excellent, so my mind is completely at ease when I am away from my four-legged baby. So yes, we're going to keep coming back to Adrienne!”
“Angelica was such a blessing to me and my little dog during this whole process. I had my worries as a first time use of this type of service as I've never left my dog with anyone outside of a few family members but my dog felt right at home with Angelica. Regular updates and pictures helped out my mind at ease in such a short period of time while I was out of state on business. I would highly recommend Angelica as an experienced sitter. She showed Sundae a lot of love and already made herself a second home and a friend for life. Will 100% call on her services again in the future.”
“Albina was a ROCKSTAR. Our insanely scared dog loved her immediately. She made us a Christmas decoration with his name on it and homemade treats. I almost cried with how kind she was. We will be coming back!!”
“Micheal was great and accommodating with our changing of times and last minute booking. Bonita was a little nervous but she came home super chill and happy. We received super cute photos too.”
“Bill and his family took amazing care of my dog. My dog has a lot of energy but I can tell they spent a lot of time with him and he enjoyed his time playing in their yard. I would definitely recommend and request for him to watch my dog again.”
“Janice was amazing taking care of Poro! She has such calming energy and my velcro child took a liking to her and her family immediately. That alone put my heart at ease and would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Karen clearly loves animals. Our dog, Bailey, was easily incorporated into the household with photos taken, exercised and played with. We would use her again.”
“Great with my dog Austin, felt like I left him with family the way I got daily updates and occasional photos. I’m glad I found a home away from home for my soul dog”
“Freshness is the best! I’ve used Rover a handful of times but this experience was perfect. Constant updates, great pictures, and accommodated me on super short notice. So what’re you waiting for, quit reading this review and book Frances already!”
“Where do I start, if I could leave a 10 star review I would, from the moment I left my dog with Steven it was pure joy, he was always in contact with updates with pics and videos, he is truly a animal lover, he is so patient and attentive, he will go above and beyond with your dog, I will definitely book again with Steven, thanks a lot Sol my dog was extremely happy staying with Steven. He is awesome!!!”
“Elva was so amazing with our babies! She kept us updated with all the fun they were having without us ever needing to check in. Loved that she was just a natural at noticing all our dogs funny quirks and enjoyed their company. Appreciate you Elva!!”
“I was searching all over for the best pet care provider I could find and I found Ali on Rover! She was amazing! She took pictures every day and sent me updates every day. My little Cece was so happy over there that when she came home, I think she already missed her! I would absolutely use Ali again. I highly recommend her for her professional attitude and her loving heart. She took the best care of my little baby that anyone ever could have! Thank you, Ali!!!!!!🐾💖🐾”
“Best dog sitting experience I have ever had. Not only did she provide attentive and loving care for my dog, but she also took him on outings to the beach, which he absolutely loved. Her attention to detail and genuine affection for my pet were evident in every interaction. She kept me updated with photos and messages, ensuring I felt comfortable and reassured. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I highly recommend Irina to anyone in need of a caring and responsible dog sitter.”
“Hillary was great with Oliver. She was super patient and understanding of his needs and slight anxiety. I appreciated her communication style and updates. Would definitely book again”
“We love having Catherine, Albert, and Trace take care of Walter. They treat Walter like family and share all of their toys with him. We get regular updates and never have to ask them how Walter is doing. Their backyard is absolutely beautiful and dog friendly. They take our dog on strolls around town and play fetch regularly as if he is their own. I can’t say enough about how great they are and how comfortable we are leaving Walter with them. My husband especially loves the report cards Walter gets after his stay.”

“Mike was so great to care for my animals. He bonded with the temperamental male Oslo, absolutely left my place and feeding areas spotless. He sent great candid shots of each one of my 3 cats, they looked very relaxed and happy. No issues at all. He was so nice to meet in person and I would book him again any time! Really prompt and communicative.”
“You’ll love Lori as a person and a pet-sitter! She’s attentive, asks all the right questions about the temperament of your pet, routines, litter box tasks—she’s the best!! You’ll enjoy reading all the notes she takes about her time with your pet 🫶 Thanks again!!”

“Narin did a terrific job looking after our cats. She is punctual and always leaves detailed updates, and takes the extra time to give our pets plenty of attention. Can’t recommend enough.”
About: While I grew up in a dog family, I've embraced my fate as a cat lady in adulthood! After rescuing my (giant) Norwegian Forest Cat over 5 years ago, I've fallen in love with felines and cared for them via Rover bookings as well as directly for friends and colleagues. After a lot of patience and creating a safe environment for the two of them, my cat and dog are now besties! At the same time, they’re incredibly different animals, with their own way of looking at the world, both of which I respect :). For 10 years, I have walked and cared for many family's, friends’ and colleagues' dogs and cats of all ages, and recently opened my network to my neighborhood. **Currently, I am open for cat/dog drop-ins. Please see all service options (including add-ons) in my profile and feel free to reach out with questions!** The bottom line is: the safety of your cats/dogs is my top priority. I know how it is. I’ve used Rover and other services for my pets, and I understand how it feels to entrust another person with your fur-kiddo. I am patient and will give you whatever you need to feel comfortable with me as a caregiver — from answering questions, to a meet-and-greet (in person or on zoom), to picture updates all along the way. Every cat is different, and I want to know what makes your cat unique so I can provide him/her with the best care. I’m a good communicator — from medications to escape artists to fear triggers and everything in between, you can rest assured we will be on the same page.
“Jessica was fantastic with our two cats! We had her two drop in visits while we were away. She gave the best report cards on our cats for both visits and with the greatest photos. She also topped off food for them and took care of their litter. I feel she went out of her way to make sure both cats were happy and being stimulated with toys. Would definitely recommend her as she treats your cats as they are her own!”
“Limari took great care of my cats while I was away. I appreciate that she was a good communicator and sent me pics with every visit. It gave me a lot of peace of mind, and I would definitely rebook again. 🙂”
“Avery took care of my cat very well - making sure she took her meds and felt safe. She was very patient with my cat’s quirks. From the pictures she sent I can tell my cat had a good time with her. Thanks for taking such good care of her 🤩”
“tiffany is a great sitter! she fed the cats, played with them and cleaned up after them every day. she also sends lots of photos with her updates (and tiffany’s photos are amazing!) it was great to come home to well taken care of cats and a tidy home! will definitely rebook tiffany when i go out of town again =)”
“Shante was amazing with the kitties -- I cannot recommend her highly enough! She came to my house on short notice to meet my kitties (we had a family emergency and had to leave within 24 hours). She taught us all about cat tv, spent time bonding with the cats, and was so sweet! I've never returned from a trip with both cats happy, social and relaxed. I'm so grateful for Shante and will definitely use her service again! My two special needs kitties and I have had our share of bad cat sitter experiences. Shante not only quelled my concerns from the outset but sent regular updates, the cutest photos, brought them new toys, and found unique ways to engage my boys and get them up and moving daily. If you are in search of the perfect cat sitter, look no further. Shante is it!!”
About: I grew up with both dogs and cats, and I've been the person friends and family call when they need someone to look after theirs. Most of that has been in-home care: feeding, fresh water, litter and cleanup, medication, and staying long enough that the animal actually gets some company instead of a rushed visit. I'm newer to walking dogs specifically, so I want to be upfront about that. What I bring is patience, consistency, and attention to how an animal is actually doing rather than just checking a box. I read body language well, I'll follow your routine exactly as you describe it, and I'd rather ask you a question than guess. If your dog needs anything particular on a walk, tell me and I'll do it that way every time. I run a tutoring business and my sessions don't start until the afternoon, so my weekday mornings and midday are completely open. That makes me a good fit for the late-morning to early-afternoon window when most dogs have been alone for hours and need to get out. I'm consistent week to week, so if you want the same time every Monday through Friday I can hold that slot for you. I'm offering walks and drop-ins only. Since I'm walking your dog in your own neighborhood, my attention is on your home and your street. I double-check gates and doors going in and out, keep the leash clipped until we're fully back inside, and I don't use retractable leashes. I keep dogs out of unfenced front yards and away from other dogs unless you've told me yours is friendly and you want the greeting. I'll follow whatever routine you already have, including which door you use, where the leash lives, and whether your dog gets water or a treat afterward. At home I have a fully fenced yard and cats, so I'm used to being deliberate about containment. If anything goes wrong on a walk you'll hear from me right away, not at the end of the day.
About: This year, 2026, marks my second anniversary of being a cat mom to Cinna-- like 'cinnamon' & the Hunger Games character. While she's a friendly, spayed kitty, she can be kept in a space separate from guests upon request. On the job, your fur baby is my priority!

“Freddie was so stoked! He got lots of play time with his new bff Henri and was very well taken care of. Will definitely book with Michael again. Truly felt like Freddie was with family.”
“Denise is friendly, trustworthy, and responsive. I felt confident leaving my dog with her as my first Rover experience. From the pictures/updates it looked like Oslo really enjoyed his daycare and he came home happy and sleepy!”
“Kiyomi treated our recently adopted puppy as her own and gave so many helpful tricks and tips for taking care of our newest little family member. You can tell she’s great with all dogs and wants to do everything she can to make sure they’re happy. Extra perk that she takes super cute photos of your pup too.”
“We (more importantly Cody) loved his time at Joyce's! We really appreciated the updates and pictures too throughout his stay! Cody seemed to have warmed up so quickly and had a blast! We are definitely going to rebook with Joyce!”
“Happy that we were accommodated even though it was last minute. I got pictures of Nala & Nova playing outside and resting. I can tell Susan and Seo Kyung loves doggies!”
“Frances was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! I was a little worried leaving my fur baby since it’s his first time with a sitter, and he was a lil anxious when we dropped him off but had a great time with Frances. She sent me pictures and updates throughout the day, and the picture qualities were also amazing! My puppy looked so happy and comfortable! He came home pooped and I’m so happy he got along with Frances and her boys! I will definitely use Frances again next time I need a sitter!”
“SO great! Karah is amazing with my super high energy lab puppy. So considerate and made sure to follow his schedule. He came home so happy and slept so well. We will be back, highly recommend!”
About: I love animals and being around them is a true pleasure and privilege. I can't wait to meet your babies and take care of them! I live next to Ascot hills with lovely hiking trails and I especially enjoy taking dogs and friends there just before sunset to enjoy the trees and breeze. Hydration is very important to me (particularly in the summer heat) and I have a yard with trees for shade and potty breaks every hour.
“This was Willow’s first time staying with anyone other than us, and she did amazing! Miguel and Camila handled her with care and really respected her space, letting her explore and come to them when she felt comfortable. They were patient with her and gave her the time she needed to warm up and feel safe. Thank you for taking good care of Willow and making her first stay away from us a positive experience. This was also our first time using Rover, so we’re glad we gave it a try.”
“Magdalena is an exceptional doggie dare care provider. I reached out to her because my office is requiring that I now come in after 4 years of work from home. I was nervous that my 10-year-old corgi with various health issues would not be enthused about the change, but he LOVES going to Magdalena's house where he is showered with affection all day long. Magdalena sends pictures and videos and updates throughout the day, and my little guy looks ecstatically happy. She is truly the best. I highly recommend her.”
“We are so happy we found Catherine and Albert on Rover! Our two dogs absolutely love it there, and they take such great care of them. We love the updates and photos, and the report card they give at the end of the day is the best thing ever!”
“I'm having my house painted and needed a place for Tessa to go to for the day while I was at work. I had meet and greet with Marysia and her dogs, Sophie and Simon last year, so we already knew that they would get along. When I dropped off Tessa, Marysia made sure that all the doggies got reacquainted before I left. Her dogs are so sweet - it was great! Marysia sent me pictures of Tessa throughout the day and a few videos of her playing as well. Tessa had a great day and I was so happy that I found a place that is close and such a great hangout for the day!! I will definitely use Marysia again.”
“Woody had such an amazing time! I was happy to leave him alone with such an amazing couple. He was taken to the park, and I got photos throughout the day. I would definitely use them again in the future!”
About: I’ve cared for the dogs and cats of many friends and family, including my own 16 year old deaf & blind yorkie. I love all animals, and am experienced in caring for disabled pets, anxious pets, and those with lots and lots of energy. I’m currently a student in medical school, so I spend lots of time studying - perfect for home visits where I can run through my flashcards in the company of a furry friend! I also love walking around the neighborhood and going on hikes with the pets I care for! I am experienced in working with prescription diets, special needs animals, and pets of all ages. Please let me know what special considerations your pet requires!
About: Hi there! I have long loved being a dog mom and thought to start sitting to give myself and my own dog some extra company and fun times. I can usually take up to two additional dogs to my own. If I am able to sit for your dog, I will be working from home. However, I am not available everyday. This is why I recommend planning in advance for my availability. I have a single family home with a fenced in dog run and patio for them to play in. They are free to be in the house and not be restricted in movements. However, I do not let pets on the furniture or beds. However doggy beds are available.

“Andrew did a great job walking our dog for a day while we were away! Very communicative and attentive, and gave great walk updates. It made us feel secure our dog was in good hands!”
“Amy is awesome! She is super communicative and great at adapting to things that come up with our reactive pit bull! She’s genuinely loving and caring and we’re happy to use her a few days every week :)”
About: Your pet's comfort and happiness are my top priority, and I believe the best way to achieve that is by keeping things as familiar as possible. I stick closely to your pet's normal routine - feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any medications - so they feel safe and at ease whether you are home or away. I am reliable, attentive, and genuinely patient with all kinds of personalities. Whether your pup is high-energy and needs plenty of activity or is a more laid-back companion who just wants some quiet company, I adapt to whatever makes your pet feel most comfortable. I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs and understand the extra care and patience they require. From managing medications and limited mobility to providing gentle companionship and a calm environment, I am experienced in making older dogs feel comfortable, loved, and well looked after. Communication is something I take seriously. I know how much you love your pet, and I never want you to wonder how they are doing. You can count on regular updates and photos throughout the day so you always have peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle. I am a freelancer who works from home with a flexible schedule, which means I am around the house throughout the day and can plan my entire routine around your pet's needs. When I am in your home, I follow your instructions carefully and treat your space and your pet with the utmost respect. My goal is simple - to make sure your furry family member feels loved, cared for, and right at home until you return. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. As a freelancer who works from home, I have the flexibility to structure my entire day around your pet's needs. Throughout the day I take regular breaks from work to check in, play, and spend quality time with any pets in my care. Your pet will never feel like an afterthought - they are always my priority. To give your pet the best possible care, I love learning as much about them as I can before we get started. Knowing their daily routine, energy level, feeding schedule, medications, and any special needs helps me make sure they feel right at home. I also like to understand their personality - how they interact with other dogs and people, any quirks or preferences, and what makes them feel safe and comfortable. The more I know about your pet, the better I can care for them the way you would
“I had a wonderful experience with Jacquelyn. She was responsive and friendly in all our communication. She arrived at my home on time and sent me plenty of pictures of my dog during their walk. I would definitely recommend Jacquelyn and would hire her again in the future!”
“Mike is incredibly professional, friendly, and took such great care of our dog. He was focused on making sure he did everything according to our dog’s regular schedule, and he was very skilled at managing our dog (who can be a handful). I will definitely book Mike again and I recommend him as your next dog walker/sitter.”
“Kyle is a great dog walker. He provided photos and updates on my pup. I trusted him to give my pup the best care, always looking out for his best interest. I highly recommend Kyle.”
About: For nearly two decades, my neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to care for their pets when they are away. I have extensive experience looking after dogs and cats of all ages and needs. Not only can I take your high-energy dog for a long walk or run, I will also slow things down to give your elderly pet the time and attention they need. I’m known for never refusing a belly rub and always loving your pets like my own. I am also happy to check up on aquarium dwellers (like my client who has goldfish!) I am a professional dancer and summer is the slow season, so I have flexible hours that can fit anyone’s busy day. I am available for daytime check-ins, walks, and daycare any day of the week. My schedule easily allows for pet pickups/drop offs and house sitting. I am home most of the day to keep your dog company. If I am out of the house it usually will only be for a couple hours and I have a very friendly dog who will comfort your dog in my absence. Because I am home most of the time, I can do exercise and potty breaks as frequently as you would like.
About: I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely care about the animals I watch. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they’re safe and comfortable while in my care I have a senior dog of my own, so I’m very familiar with routines, medications, and taking things at an older pet’s pace. Over the years I’ve watched dogs, cats, turtles, birds, snakes, and just about anything else you can think of. I spent many years as a teacher, but recently made the decision to step into a slower pace of life. Now I’m available daily for pet visits or dogs walks. I love being able to give animals the calm, consistent attention they deserve. Right now I provide pet care (daily visits, walks etc) exclusively in my clients’ homes, allowing pets to stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I do not offer care in my own home.

About: Hi! I recently graduated from UCSB and have a very flexible schedule this summer before starting my full-time job. I’ve dog sat for family friends, and neighbors over the years and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. I’ve cared for a Maltese for several weeks, looked after a German Shepherd, and watched other small and medium-sized dogs. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, going on walks, playing with dogs, and making sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I always try to provide the same level of care and attention they receive at home. I’m also happy to send photo updates so you can feel confident that your pet is in good hands. I have a very flexible schedule and can provide care throughout the day, which means your dog will get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship. I’m available on weekdays and weekends and can easily adjust to your dog’s normal routine. Since I’m home most of the day, I can make sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and never left alone for long periods of time. I live in a spacious townhouse with plenty of room for dogs to relax and move around comfortably. I also have a private porch where dogs can safely spend time outside and enjoy some fresh air. There is a coach outside for them to lay on. I understand that every dog has different needs and routines, so I always follow owner instructions carefully regarding feeding, walks, exercise, and any special care. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and at home while you’re away.
About: We're a family of four dog lovers who often take care of our neighbor's dog (and cats). We have one indoor cat who thinks he is a dog and plays with dogs and another indoor cat who likes to hide. We used to have a dog before, so we know how to train dog and teach dog tricks. We also have flexible work schedule and will not leave the dog alone for long time and will follow special instructions to meet your needs. We're doing this for fun and extra financial income to support kids' education. We live in a townhouse with a small enclosed patio area, therefore we only take dogs who are used to living indoors and are potty trained, we're very close to the Garfield Park, so we frequent the park unless we're told not to do long walks. Why I love dog sitting always a dog lover. We used to have a pit bull-lab mix and we are good at training dogs. About my yard very small patio in the front, with gate. My experience administering medication with instructions, sure. I work at home part time, so I have the flexibility to keep dogs company. I live close to the park and generally takes long walks daily. It depends on different dogs' needs. I often follow owner's instruction and try to keep the staying as close to as the dog's original home condition.
About: I've had many dogs growing up from a Chihuahua, Sharpei, Husky and now three of my own rescue mutts. Recently, I volunteered with a rescue in Agoura Hills bringing in dogs from Korea for a year, transporting them from LAX to an adoption center. Also, I have volunteered at the Pasadena Humane Society and North Central Shelter here in LA. Paying close attention to detail, I administered daily medication, fed a special diet (often cooking homemade meals) and had monthly vet visits for a senior dog all while taking care of my young toddler. Since I've been a full time mom, I have most weekdays free between school hours and some evenings. When I don't have to take my daughter to her weekly activities, I am also available weekends. I'm pretty flexible and could be available on short notice. I have 3 dogs who are all potty trained and do not need to be crated. I understand everybody has different needs and environments, which I am open to assisting. I strongly believe in mental and physical stimulation for pets and therefore can play with them, give toys, snuffle mats, fetch balls, go over basic commands and even give baths. Walks are ideal in their own neighborhood, or just letting them out in their yard if that's what they're use to. I am able to give treats, or food when needed and give medication. Most importantly, I want my pets to feel safe, given undivided attention, and loved.
About: Back home in Atlanta, GA, I cared for our family's dogs that lived to ten and fifteen years old, with our youngest dog turning fourteen this year. From walks on the leash, to fenced yard time, to cleaning indoor accidents, every animal deserves the care needed to live a happy, healthy life. Now, residing in LA County, I'm on year two of taking care of my rescue kitty. She is friendly but can always be kept in a separate room for guests' comfort. I live in a quiet neighborhood with safe, walkable sidewalks and have an in-unit balcony for fresh air in between walks! As a professional actor & NBA dancer, my work schedule varies each week. I feel most grounded when I schedule daily walks or park time for myself and would love a furry companion to enjoy the fresh air with! In addition to the entertainment industry, I work a remote job that brings hip hop dance programming to youth in underserved communities. These flexible hours allow room for pet care at various hours throughout the day, so I may continue working towards my passions whilst ensuring the best care for your pet. In my home, I have an in-unit balcony that allows dogs to get fresh air in between walks. The large windows and cat hammock overlooking the balcony make for a great view as well. The unit has plenty of open space with no fragile items/furniture accessible to pets. Just outside of my apartment building is a quiet, walkable sidewalk for leashed walks.
About: I grew up with animals, have cat and dog sat for friends for years. I also have experience with fish, lizards, snakes, frogs, etc. I always send pictures and make sure the details are right! Also my name is Alex - Rover won't let me change it ; ) Hi! My name is Alex. I am a writer and filmmaker with a flexible schedule and often work from home. Happy to stop by once or to build a longer dynamic with your pet and create a routine. I always make sure they are comfortable and happy and engaged. How varies depending on the pet! But I like to take it slow and make sure they are comfortable with me and know me.
About: I love dogs of all shapes and sizes! I have a rambunctious boxer mix named Caraway who's very sweet but also stubborn, so I'm not afraid of more difficult pups. They need love too! I have experience with overnight and daytime petsitting and, of course, lots of dog walking. If you hire me I can promise you the best care for your dogs (and cats, if you have them). I'm confident in my skills and place the highest value on creating a positive experience for dogs and their owners alike. I'll treat your pets with respect and give them fun and enriching experiences be they overnights, daytime visits, or simply a walk. So what are you waiting for? Book me today; you won't regret it!

“Bill and his family took amazing care of my dog. My dog has a lot of energy but I can tell they spent a lot of time with him and he enjoyed his time playing in their yard. I would definitely recommend and request for him to watch my dog again.”
“Kiyomi was so professional and kind! Luna was excited to stay with her and we felt so comfortable knowing she was in good hands. It is clear that Kiyomi has a lot of experience with dogs and will put your dog’s needs first. Would highly recommend! :)”
“Karen clearly loves animals. Our dog, Bailey, was easily incorporated into the household with photos taken, exercised and played with. We would use her again.”
“We are so glad we left our pup in Li’s care. He sent photos every day, morning and night. He even gave her a bath so she came back so fresh and so clean! Top-notch service!”
“From Margaret’s regular photo updates, it is clear that Rosie was not merely a boarder, but having a great adventure, lavished w care, lots of activity and attention! Thank you for everything!”

“Yuhong is the best! She does as she says and provided the best care for our English Bulldog during a weekend getaway. She maintained constant communication and provided updates with pictures which my family and I appreciated. My family and I are grateful to Yuhong and husband for treating Cookie like family.”
“We had such a great experience with Adolfo! He took care of our two dogs, Ozzy (9) and Jessie (1), for a week while we were on vacation, and we couldn’t have asked for better care. He took them on walks, played with them, made sure they were fed, and even gave them their vitamins. Adolfo also kept us updated with pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was such a relief knowing our dogs were happy, safe, and being well taken care of. We were able to truly enjoy our vacation knowing Ozzy and Jessie were in such a positive and caring place. We highly recommend Adolfo and would definitely trust him with our dogs again!”
“Where do I start, if I could leave a 10 star review I would, from the moment I left my dog with Steven it was pure joy, he was always in contact with updates with pics and videos, he is truly a animal lover, he is so patient and attentive, he will go above and beyond with your dog, I will definitely book again with Steven, thanks a lot Sol my dog was extremely happy staying with Steven. He is awesome!!!”
“This was my 1st experience boarding my dog. Kathryn took wonderful care of my dog Mia. She sent me pictures and messages almost daily. I would give her 10 stars if I could. I will use her services in the future. Thank again Kathryn!!”
“Athene is wonderful! Our pup Mia stayed with her for just over a week while we visited family on the east coast. She made sure Mia felt at home and settled and is very mindful of how all the dogs interact with each other. We were able to set up several visits before our trip to meet the other dogs she would be staying with which made the drop-off and transition much easier for our timid dog. Athene is great about giving updates while you’re away and makes sure each dog is happy, safe, and healthy. When we brought Mia home she was completely exhausted from a full week of fun and play. We are so glad we found Athene!”
About: We’re lifelong dog lovers with years of hands-on experience caring for our own pets as well as helping friends and family with theirs. While new to Rover, we’re dependable, attentive, and truly enjoy spending time with dogs of all personalities and energy levels. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always our top priorities. We’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while you’re away. We also provide daily photo and/or video updates so you can relax knowing your pup is happy and well cared for. My husband and I both work from home during the week, so your dog will rarely be alone. We look forward to welcoming your pup into our home and treating them like part of the family! Because my husband and I both work from home, your pup will have constant company, plenty of attention, and lots of playtime throughout the day, so they’ll never feel lonely. We have a safe, secure fenced yard where your pup can relax, play, and get plenty of fresh air. Our friendly pup loves having company, and we’ll treat your furry family member like one of our own with plenty of care, attention, and a comfortable home-away-from-home environment.
“Elva was so amazing with our babies! She kept us updated with all the fun they were having without us ever needing to check in. Loved that she was just a natural at noticing all our dogs funny quirks and enjoyed their company. Appreciate you Elva!!”
“Janelle and her partner go above and beyond to make your pets feel happy and at home with them! My two pups had a fun and cozy time at their place. When I forgot to bring my senior dog’s bed with him, they ran out and bought him a new bed! We are beyond grateful for these two, they will care for your pets like they’re their own!”
“We love having Catherine, Albert, and Trace take care of Walter. They treat Walter like family and share all of their toys with him. We get regular updates and never have to ask them how Walter is doing. Their backyard is absolutely beautiful and dog friendly. They take our dog on strolls around town and play fetch regularly as if he is their own. I can’t say enough about how great they are and how comfortable we are leaving Walter with them. My husband especially loves the report cards Walter gets after his stay.”
