“Our girl had a WONDERFUL time at Amorn and Adam’s home! This was the most at peace I’ve felt while leaving my dog with a sitter. Their communication was amazing and the photos & videos said it all. She was so happy!”
“We left our dog with the family overnight. I don’t think he wanted to come home with us. He must have been having to much fun with the family. They sent me lots of pictures and let me know how he was doing. We will defiantly be using Nicole and Michel again.”
“Alla was very nice with my dog, especially his first time. Was gone for a few days, but I felt very comfortable leaving Henry behind as she provided pictures and kept me up to date, I felt very relaxed”
“Nancy is a best-in-class dog sitter. She takes our pup in and gives him only the best care and attention, keeping him active and entertained. I feel good about leaving my dog with Nancy, knowing I have nothing to worry about.”
“Tyler was absolutely amazing during his week with my 9 yr old, but still high energy, Riley. He's very clearly a dog lover to his core and my little girl warmed to him immediately. He was very responsive, kept me updated w photos and stories all week, and each showed my baby happy as could be. We won't hesitate to call on Tyler next time I'm out of town.”
“My dog came back super happy. She’s very high anxiety and can take a while to warm up to people but she seems to have warmed up to them quickly. We’re happy to know she has a safe and happy place to go when we’re out of town.”
“Lily was great! I felt very comfortable leaving our dog with her! She also accommodated our travel schedule which was very helpful! Loved receiving photos and video as well! Thank you and we will book again!”
“Bertha took such wonderful care of my nervous little pup. I felt very comfortable leaving my baby with her. She is very kind and kept my baby as comfortable as possible while I was away. Thank you!”
“Albina took great care of my boy. She made sure he went on multiple walks a day and sent me updates. He came home very happy. Will definitely take Kobe to her again😊”
“Keely as fantastic with our little chiweenie, Suki ❤️ Our other caregiver arrangement fell thru and Keely accepted my last minute request quickly! Such a lifesaver! She made Suki feel right at home, was super attentive to her needs, and sent me the cutest photos and videos of her while we were away two nights. Would definitely recommend Keely to anyone who wants a trustworthy dog lover watching their fur baby and I would obviously consider having her watch Suki again! 🥳”
“I had to book with Vasilisa at the last minute and she was very accommodating. She asked me a lot of very good questions about my dog who is elderly. I appreciate that she was so diligent about his needs. It all went great and I would definitely book again. Thank you, Vasilisa!”
“This was my first time boarding my pup, so I was a bit nervous. Salud put me at ease. She was responsive and kind. I can tell Pistachio was well cared for and loved.”
“Barbara was wonderful with my dog, Mila. Mila wakes up very early and needs extra attention, and Barbara was patient, caring, and attentive to her needs. I felt comfortable knowing Mila was in good hands. I highly recommend Barbara to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dog sitter.”
“We were lucky enough to have James be available to take care of Legend while my family and I were on a 7-day cruise. He provided us updates and some pics. We knew Legend was in good hands. We will definitely use James again.”
“Jose is a wonderful pet sitter! We were apprehensive to leave our pup for the first time, but Jose made us feel at ease the entire time - sending pictures and updates along the way. We (and Oscar) can’t wait to book with him again.”
“Jack did a great job watching my puppy! I messaged him to set up a meet and greet and he responded immediately which I really appreciated. We set up a date and time for a week later. My partner and I showed up for the meet and greet and felt extremely confident that Jack would be a good fit for us. He was kind, professional and super friendly. The day of the drop off I had a lot going on and Jack was very flexible with the drop off time. Throughout the stay we got daily updates about our puppy. I could tell they were having a great time and she was in good hands. I’d recommend his services to anyone looking for a safe, reliable, friendly sitter and would use him again!”
“My dog king spent his first time with a sitter for a week with Angelique — and I am very happy he did. Our meet and greet went well a couple weeks prior to my trip. And the actual stay with her was wonderful. The pictures I received helped me know he was in good hands. At this time I plan to have king stay with her again when I travel again later this year.”
“We were so hesitant to hire someone through Rover, but choosing Ekaterina was the best decision! She was the perfect match for our little spicy senior Chihuahua, Belly. We loved receiving daily photos and updates, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such caring and capable hands while we were away for two weeks. It’s never easy leaving your dog behind, especially a senior pup with lots of personality, but Ekaterina made the entire experience stress-free. Belly was happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for. We are incredibly grateful and she will absolutely be our go-to dog walker and sitter from now on. Highly recommend!”
“It was hard to not be with my pup at Christmas time, but I was so happy and confident with Kristina and her family that they would love Chewie like their own and they did!!! Great family, great home/yard, great communication, response times, and photos! We would most definitely have Kristina watch Chewie again.”
“Jillian takes such good care of my Lola, is a good communicator and always sends photos. Lola is a special needs pup and Jillian makes sure she is well taken care of, makes sure she is comfortable and gives her lots of love.”

“Kendi was so great with my cat bean! She was so communicative and wonderful with my cat, he warmed up to her so quickly. Definitely recommend her for taking care of your fur babies!”
“Lane is a very caring and conscientious cat sitter. She listens and follows instructions and goes above & beyond to make sure your pet is well taken care of. We have a very shy cat and she did everything possible to gain his trust and make sure he ate. I would highly recommend Lane to anyone needing an excellent pet sitter.”
“Joanne did a fantastic job watching our cat, Chicken. We appreciated her being prompt, very communicative, and bringing in our packages as well! We will definitely continue working with Joanne!”
“We are absolutely thrilled to have found Ceara! From the moment I met her, it was an immediate “yes”. As first-time cat owners leaving for our first trip, we were nervous about leaving our kitten, Creme Brûlée, but Ceara put all our worries at ease. She went above and beyond in every way, caring for our little. Not only did she ensure Creme Brûlée was happy and well-cared for, but she also took the initiative to do things without us even asking – a thoughtful touch that meant so much. Throughout our trip, Ceara sent us adorable photos of our kitten, which brought us so much reassurance. Ceara is truly exceptional. She is professional, reliable, and one of the kindest people we’ve ever met. We can’t thank her enough for making our time away stress-free and for taking such great care of Creme.”
“Ashley was phenomenal! The level of care and attention to detail she exhibited went above and beyond our expectations. We were out of town when several wildfires hit the area and her consistent communication and flexibility kept us at ease. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking Ashley again for our future pet sitting needs.”
“Natalia was perfect! I have 2 young-ish kittens that may have gotten into some toxic flowers and she kept me fully informed and was on top of any potential problem. She was prompt and sent plenty of updates. Will 100% book again :)”
“Elizabeth was great! She took care of our cat overnight for a few days while we were out of town. She gave her plenty of playtime and sent pictures regularly. Elizabeth was very professional and responsive.”
“Mikayla was amazing!! She was very communicative and responsive, and she did the things I asked perfectly. Everything was very clean when I got back home, and I can tell she really cares 🫶🏽 I would absolutely recommend her and would love to have her check in again in the future!”
“Yvonne took great care of my two cats! They were happy and healthy when I returned home from a trip. I really appreciate her making things smooth and easy for me!”
“Truly above and beyond care! Dayna is a gem. Our cat was so loved up and happy when we returned. Her updates are so detailed you can feel her getting to know your animal and seeing who they are and meeting their needs. We didn’t worry once while we were gone and we were truly able to let go and be on vacation. We interviewed a LOT of sitters and were just so grateful to have Dayna on our team!”
“Trinity was super communicative and responsive both during the booking process and while she was watching my cat. She treated him great, paid great attention to his needs, and took lots of pictures of them playing and hanging out. Would 100% book again!”
“I found Stephany when I had a last minute cancellation, when I was already on my way out of town so I wasn’t able to do a meet and greet like I usually do; but I have to say that she definitely came to the rescue last minute and she was very trustworthy, respectful, communicative and kind. I can’t express enough how easeful she made my trip by sending daily photos and messages when she did her drop-ins and my kitty was less stressed when I came back this time. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future. Thank you again Stephany!”
“Sarah has excellent communication and I appreciate her time coming to feed my cats while I was on vacation. Would definitely recommend her if you need someone to check in on your pets.”
About: I have spent many years caring for cats and understand that each one has its own unique personality, routine, and comfort level. Through experience caring for cats while house sitting and helping others with their pets, I have learned the importance of being attentive, patient, and respectful of each cat’s individual needs. Whether that means maintaining feeding schedules, keeping litter areas clean, providing playtime and attention, or simply giving them space when they prefer it, I focus on creating a calm and comfortable environment where they feel safe and well cared for. I always aim to provide reliable care and treat every cat with the same level of attention I would give my own pets.
About: Hi! I grew up on my grandmother’s farm in Italy. As an only child, I spent most of my time with animals and learned from an early age how to care for them. My cat, Chico, was my best friend growing up and sparked a lifelong love of cats. Today, I live in Studio City with my husband, who is also a devoted animal lover. Over the years, I’ve cared for many cats through word-of-mouth referrals, from playful kittens to shy seniors, each with their own unique personality and needs, sometimes medical needs. We have two cats of our own, whom we adore as if they were our children. I've always had a special bond with cats and seem to connect naturally with them, even the more reserved or independent ones. I’m fascinated by feline behavior and have spent countless hours learning about cat care, enrichment, communication, and wellbeing. Whether your cat is social and affectionate or prefers space and quiet, I’m patient, attentive, and committed to making them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I follow instructions carefully, respect your home, and am extremely reliable and dependable. I look forward to meeting you and your feline family!

“My pup had a lovely time with Nancy and her pack of 3 small dogs! We did a thorough Meet & Greet, introducing the dogs on a brief walk, seeing her home, and going through my dog’s routine and preferences. On the first day of dog sitting, Nancy sent me regular updates of everyone going on plenty of walks and getting along. I appreciated Nancy’s dedication as a dog lover and the thoughtful questions she asked to make my pup comfortable in her home 💜”
“I traveled to Burbank for a work event and needed a sitter for Missy on very short notice—less than 24 hours. Jose responded immediately and communicated so clearly throughout the process. On the day of the appointment, I ended up running an hour late, but he was incredibly accommodating and flexible with the schedule. He kept me updated by sending photos of Missy, which gave me peace of mind. When I’m back in LA, I’ll absolutely have Jose watch Missy again—I could tell she enjoyed her time with him too! Thank you so much, Daisy and Jose!”
“This was Frida's second stay and I know she loves it here because she literally ran to the front door without looking back. She looks like she had a blast with Molly and the other dogs today. Thanks for all the great photos! See you next time.”
“Kieran is one of the kindest and most patient sitters I’ve met. She took incredible care of my dog and helped me understand his behavioral changes when he’s away from me. It wasn’t just dogsitting, it was a learning experience for Louie and me!! Thank you Kieran!!!”
“Amazing care for our two pups!! Elena was super responsive and understanding, even for our last-minute request. We needed doggy day care while we visited Universal Studios, as our hotel didn’t allow dogs to be left unattended in the room. We road-tripped down from Seattle (with our 2 dogs & 2 kiddos) and camped along the way, which left us a little frazzled and haggard... Elena was very empathetic and caring, despite my lack of proper research, planning, and punctuality.. lol Probably should’ve looked into things a bit more in-depth about the hotel pet policy beforehand, but I am incredibly grateful that Elena was able to take the pups while we visited the parks for a couple days. She was very tolerant, observant, and nurturing with our two pets, and I think they had a great time… even though they aren’t the best-trained dogs. We have a 4-year-old sassy chihuahua-heeler mix, and a 1.25-year-old Malinois-cattle dog mix. They are sweet girls, but have a strange dynamic. Elena took them in stride and handled them with care, as if they were her own. 10/10!! Couldn’t have asked for a better pet-sitter in our time of need. Thank you so much, Elena!!”
“Wendy has watched my dog prior to her Rover profile many times and is the absolute best! She keeps an eye on my pup and follows the care instructions i have for him, since he has a good amount of medical issues. Her dogs are a great perk to the stay as they are so friendly! Looking forward to booking again :)”
About: Trusting someone with your family member is an important decision. My #1 priority is to make sure you and your pet are relaxed and at ease. I am a great communicator and have excellent relationships with my clients, so that I can always stay on top of your pets needs. I am also experienced with puppies, (especially Corgis and Goldens) as well as elderly pets. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pet to see if I am a good fit. I have full availability - mornings, afternoons, evenings and weekends. I have some regular clients but I am also good in a pinch and can usually accommodate last minute requests. As mentioned, I will treat your pet like I would my own, always making sure that they are well taken care of -- I can provide a relaxed atmosphere or engage in play time. Everything is personalized to your pets needs. I also board/pet sit small to medium dogs and cats in my home - day care, overnights or vacations.
“This was our dog's first time away from us, and we couldn't have found a better home & dog sitter for her! We are so happy we met Jodie. She is caring, punctual, professional, responsible and accommodating. Her home is super dog-friendly, comfortable and has a big beautiful backyard that the dogs can freely run and play. Jodie updated us regularly with pictures and text messages so I could see our dog was enjoying her "vacation"! Her three dogs are all so sweet. The moment we arrived, they greeted our dog, showed her around the house and took her to the yard. When we picked her up, we found her laying on the bed with her new friend. She looked very relaxed and content. Initially we were a bit worried that our 1-year-old puppy may have too much energy for Jodie's dogs, but that was nothing to worry about! Spending time with Jodie's dogs was another reason our dog had such an amazing day. We will definitely come back, and will highly recommend Jodie to anybody!!”
“Areli is simply the best! Nami loves getting to spend time with her. She is also super understanding and flexible with scheduling. My partner and I got stuck in some pretty bad traffic causing us to be late for her pickup but Areli was super understanding. 100% recommend”
“Within 5 minutes of dropping off Pearl for the first time Tyler sent me two photos that showed Pearl on his couch grinning from ear to ear. I don’t know if that says more about Pearl than Tyler but he obviously made her feel comfortable and welcome — and me feel reassured. I look forward to booking him again.”
“Highly recommend Ten! She's quickly become a regular sitter for me. My dog gets excited to go to her place because she knows it means a fun day ahead! Ten's super communicative, kind, patient, and really great with dogs. 100/10!”
“Atlas absolutely loved hanging out with Ceara! She was so accommodating with his needs and went above and beyond with making him feel comfortable. I wish I could give more than 5 stars - I absolutely recommend Ceara!”
About: As a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom, I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. What sets me apart is my experience caring for senior dogs and dogs with disabilities, which has taught me the importance of patience, attentiveness, and compassionate care. I’m comfortable administering extra support, moving at your pet’s pace, and paying close attention to the little details that help them feel safe and comfortable. Whether your dog loves long walks, gentle strolls, playtime, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I’ll tailor my care to what makes them happiest. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family, keeping you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is simple: to make sure your pet feels loved, secure, and cared for, even when you can’t be there. I work from home, which means I can give your pup plenty of personalized attention throughout the day instead of just dropping in for the essentials. We typically start the morning with a neighborhood walk, followed by breakfast and some time to relax. In the afternoon, we’ll enjoy playtime, enrichment activities, or another potty break, depending on your dog’s energy level. Evenings include a trip to the park or another walk, dinner, and, of course, lots of cuddles before winding down for the night. I understand that every dog has their own routine, so I’m happy to adapt my schedule to match what they’re used to. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, loved, and right at home while you’re away. I believe the best pet care starts with maintaining the routine your dog already knows and loves. Before each booking, I take the time to learn about your pet’s schedule, feeding routine, exercise needs, medications, favorite activities, and any special instructions so they feel as comfortable as possible. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, safe environment with plenty of supervision since I work from home. Your dog will enjoy regular walks, playtime, potty breaks, enrichment, and lots of affection throughout the day. I have experience caring for senior dogs and dogs with disabilities, so I’m comfortable adjusting activities and providing extra patience and support when needed. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with the same respect I would my own. I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine, keep their environment clean, and make sure they receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they’re used to. I’ll also send regular photo updates and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and in good hands.
“I had my doubts at first because we saw other hosts with more reviews that would be the first logical option, however, I had a hunch about Vanessa and now I understand why. She is super sweet and Tiny even went back to say goodbye when we picked her up from Vanessa. If you are planning a nice day near Hollywood or Universal Studios, she should be your option. You won't regret it. We will book again with her again soon. Thanks, Vanessa!!!”
“Thrilled that Micah lives near us! He is clearly such a thoughtful and attentive person (with people and dogs) and is very communicative. We definitely hope to have our dog Bo spend time with him again.”
“I was really nervous to leave my dog because it was his first time and he’s usually very scared of people. But she did an amazing job he had so much fun, felt completely relaxed at her place, and she took such good care of him. I highly recommend her a thousand times!”
“Omar was absolutely amazing! As a first time rover user, he went above and beyond to walk me through how everything works, which made me feel really confident and at ease. Throughout the day, he shirt the most adorable photo of my Darky, and I could truly tell Omar treats doggies like family, his care, attention, and love for animals really stood out. We are definitely booking with Omar again !”
“Nicole is great and Tracker got along so well with her dog Bailey! Tracker had a great stay during his stay for daycare, he always came home tired and very happy and was always excited to go back!”
“We’re so grateful for the amazing care she gave our dog 🤍 She did a wonderful job, kept us updated, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. You can truly tell she loves animals and treats them like her own. Very thankful for her help and would absolutely trust her again!”

About: I've been caring for dogs for over 20 years and have been surrounded by animals my entire life.

“Alisa, came through for my dog Blue and I last minute accommodating us with walks and being able to house sit and keep him company for a couple days as well. Very sweet and attentive person to have around your animal. Can’t thank Alisa enough.”
“Thank goodness for Kendi! A weight is lifted off my shoulders knowing I have someone so reliable to care for my dog! She responds quickly and gets the jobs done no problem!”

“Adam is AMAZING! our dogs love him and we are so appreciative of how great he cares for them. He has great patience, communicates and goes above and beyond every single time. Hands down the best walker the boys have ever had. Thanks Adam!!!!”
“Adrianne is excellent! Responsive, friendly, communicative, accommodating with our schedule. Has been so sweet with our dog and our cats. She has even taken extra time on walks with our slower old girl. Feel very comfortable trusting her in our home and with our pets. Highly recommended.”
“Elizabeth is beyond excellent. She is a wonderful person, and really loves animals. Our dog can be skittish around new people but he talk to her right away. She’s a gem!”

“My dogs met her while she was walking my neighbours dog and fell in love with her. After seeing how she was with my neighbours dog, how much positive reviews they provided, an ld the fact that my pups loved seeing her I knew I had to ask her for assistance. She has been amazing with my pups, with photos, to personal messages on both my two kiddos. Definitely would recommend her as a walker to anyone looking for someone.”
About: Hi, I’m Allyssa! I’ve been caring for both dogs and cats my entire life. I have experience walking, training, exercising, playing and socializing with dogs and cats of all ages/breeds/sizes. I am a very attentive, kind, caring and patient person. To me a dog or a cat is one hundred percent more than a pet, but an extension of you, and therefore very much a part of your family. It’s my privilege and pleasure to provide your pet with the highest quality of care and respect. Every dog or cat I’ve come in contact with I’ve treated as my own, and I take pride in giving animals the special attention that every pet deserves. I will be 100% committed to being there for you and your pet.
About: If your dog is the center of your world, we're going to get along just fine. I've adored animals my entire life and have cared for everyone from 2-pound teacup Chihuahuas (I have a serious soft spot for the tiny ones 🥹) to 75-pound German Shepherds. I've also had cats, rabbits, birds, chickens, fish, and goats, and have even spent time with more exotic animals, including giant snakes, elephants, and monkeys. I have several years of firsthand experience caring for seniors, shy or anxious pets, and animals with special needs—all of whom hold a very special place in my heart. I'm also a longtime vegan and certified Animal Reiki Practitioner, and I've found that animals often trust me very quickly. 🤩 I work for myself from home with a flexible schedule, so I'm able to work around your pet's routine. Whether they need extra potty breaks, a slower pace, medications, or just someone to keep them company while you're away, I'm happy to meet them where they're at. 🫶🏻 I'm incredibly reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented, so if your pet has a very specific routine or a three-page list of instructions, I'm here for it. I'll treat your home with the utmost respect, love your pets like they're my own, and keep you updated with plenty of photos so you never have to wonder how they're doing. I'm also happy to accommodate longer house sits. If you're traveling for an extended period, I'm glad to help with things like bringing in the mail, watering plants, taking out the trash, or other small household tasks so you can truly relax while you're away. Tell your babies I can't wait to meet them! 🖤 P.S. My own tiny sidekick, Franny, stays home while I'm caring for your pets, so they always have my full attention during drop-ins, walks, and house sits. Since all I need for work is my laptop, I love changing up my scenery. Exploring new neighborhoods and making new animal friends is genuinely one of my favorite parts of the day, and I always look forward to getting out for walks and spending time with your pets. Trusting someone with both your home and your pets is a big deal, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. Whether we're relaxing at home or out exploring, I'm always extremely attentive and mindful of doors, gates, leashes, other dogs, people, and everything happening around us. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your pets and your home are in caring, capable hands.

Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule and can provide plenty of attention, companionship, walks, playtime, and personalized care while you’re away. I’ll take lots of pictures, too! I’m especially comfortable with active pets thanks to my own well-trained 8-year-old Australian Shepherd, Nylo. Whether your pet needs lots of exercise or simply someone to keep them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I work from home and am self-employed, so I have a flexible schedule and can provide attentive care throughout your pet’s stay. Boarding rates cover a 24-hour period. For new clients, drop-off is available from 2:00 PM–8:00 PM so I can give your pet my full attention while they settle in. Returning clients may drop off anytime between 8:00 AM–8:00 PM. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. Since I work from home, your fur baby will receive plenty of attention throughout the day, and walks based on their energy level and routine. For low energy, senior, or special needs dogs, I also have a fully fenced outdoor area with both grass and concrete where they can safely enjoy fresh air and potty breaks without needing a long walk. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special care they may need. Because I have my own dog, safety is very important to me. If I need to step out for an hour or two, all dogs are separated into their own comfortable spaces to ensure a safe environment. I also provide regular photo and message updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“First time having Catherine stop by to feed and walk Meaty since our plans ran later than expected! Such a relief that Catherine was able to help out today! Meaty looked so happy in the pictures and videos sent! Until next time!”

About: Hi! I grew up on my grandmother’s farm in Italy. As an only child, I spent most of my time with animals and learned from an early age how to care for them. My dog, Billie, and my cat, Chico, were my best friends growing up. Fast forward to today: I live in Studio City with my husband. Over the years, I’ve provided professional pet-sitting services through word-of-mouth referrals, caring for dogs of all sizes and cats. I have two cats of our own, whom I love as if they were my children. I’m fascinated by feline behavior and have spent countless hours learning about their needs and personalities. Dogs may be a little easier to understand, but I adore them just as much. 😊 I love going for walks, and I take great pride in providing the best possible care for every pet. I follow instructions carefully, am highly respectful of other people’s homes and routines, and am extremely reliable and dependable. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! As an actress and founder of my own theatre company, I'm fortunate to have a flexible schedule that allows me to embrace a variety of meaningful experiences between projects. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. Spending time with animals combines two things I truly enjoy: being in the open air and caring for pets. Whether it's going for walks, playing, or simply providing care and companionship, looking after pets feels less like a task and more like something that perfectly complements my lifestyle and brings me genuine joy. I offer both pet sitting and house sitting and have experience with both. As a former nanny, I'm very attentive, responsible, and used to caring not only for pets but also for someone's home with the utmost respect. I have previously hosted small dogs in my townhome and would be happy to do so again, provided they are comfortable around cats, as I have two furry babies of my own. If a dog is generally fine with cats but not completely at ease around them, I take extra precautions and have them sleep in a crate at night or whenever I cannot actively supervise. My priority is always everyone's safety and comfort. I am extremely conscientious and prudent. I follow care instructions to the letter, communicate clearly, and take reliability very seriously. Pet owners can trust that their pets, routines, and homes will be cared for exactly as requested.
About: Many of my closest buddies are doggies! Most recently I had two toy fox terriers for a decade, I have sat with all range of breeds and ages. There is a saying about dogs and children gravitating toward a person, isn't there? My friends and clients can tell you that I am trustworthy and communicative. I am a person that has been told: "they usually don't like strangers/people/visitors, but they love you!" I have years of loving dogs, I don't have any at the moment because I recently moved back from Europe. I look forward to meeting your family member and giving them love and attention while you are away. I have my own car, a fairly flexible schedule, and can't wait to meet new furry friends.

“We left our dog with the family overnight. I don’t think he wanted to come home with us. He must have been having to much fun with the family. They sent me lots of pictures and let me know how he was doing. We will defiantly be using Nicole and Michel again.”
“Tyler was absolutely amazing during his week with my 9 yr old, but still high energy, Riley. He's very clearly a dog lover to his core and my little girl warmed to him immediately. He was very responsive, kept me updated w photos and stories all week, and each showed my baby happy as could be. We won't hesitate to call on Tyler next time I'm out of town.”
“Lily was great! I felt very comfortable leaving our dog with her! She also accommodated our travel schedule which was very helpful! Loved receiving photos and video as well! Thank you and we will book again!”
“We were lucky enough to have James be available to take care of Legend while my family and I were on a 7-day cruise. He provided us updates and some pics. We knew Legend was in good hands. We will definitely use James again.”
“Jack did a great job watching my puppy! I messaged him to set up a meet and greet and he responded immediately which I really appreciated. We set up a date and time for a week later. My partner and I showed up for the meet and greet and felt extremely confident that Jack would be a good fit for us. He was kind, professional and super friendly. The day of the drop off I had a lot going on and Jack was very flexible with the drop off time. Throughout the stay we got daily updates about our puppy. I could tell they were having a great time and she was in good hands. I’d recommend his services to anyone looking for a safe, reliable, friendly sitter and would use him again!”
“My dog king spent his first time with a sitter for a week with Angelique — and I am very happy he did. Our meet and greet went well a couple weeks prior to my trip. And the actual stay with her was wonderful. The pictures I received helped me know he was in good hands. At this time I plan to have king stay with her again when I travel again later this year.”
“It was hard to not be with my pup at Christmas time, but I was so happy and confident with Kristina and her family that they would love Chewie like their own and they did!!! Great family, great home/yard, great communication, response times, and photos! We would most definitely have Kristina watch Chewie again.”
“Brittany is the best! My pup Nala is a sweetheart but deals with a lot of reactivity issues and it’s hard to find someone with enough experience, patience, trust, and love to watch her while I’m out of town. Brittany was more than willing and able to work with her and give her a chance. Brittany was AMAZING with her. I didn’t worry once about Nala while I was out of the country. She walked her multiple times per day, played with her, made sure she was always safe, and gave her so much love. She already has crates for large dogs at her home, which made everything so much easier. She gave me lots of updates, pictures, and videos every single day. She followed all of the instructions I left and took her job very seriously. Nala loved her so much and I could tell she felt right at home. Thank you so much Brittany!”
“This was my very first time using Rover and it was the longest time I had ever been away from my fur baby. I was very nervous to leave Sadie with a complete stranger in this big city for almost a week. I found Elena and her reviews were wonderful. I contacted her and she replied almost immediately. We set up a meet and greet prior to my departure date. Elena was very sweet, accommodating, and Sadie warmed to her almost instantly. I immediately felt confident about leaving Sadie in her hands. During drop off, Sadie was excited to see her new friend. Elena welcomed Sadie warmly as if she were her own and was attentive to her every need. She played with Sadie outside, took her on regular walks, and even cared for her allergies. We communicated daily and she sent regular updates with photos and video. Elena went above and beyond anything I could have asked for. I’m so grateful to Rover for helping me find not only a loving place for my Sadie but also a new friend. I will be using her again and will absolutely refer her to others!”
“We boarded our 16 month old very exuberant Labrador for 2 nights and three days. Our pup Luna had never overnighted away from us. Alejandro and Christine did great giving her supervision and attention and catering to her needs. They are very professional and very kind and gentle with the dogs. Christine is very responsive and sends pics and updates. We were very comfortable with the care they provided and Luna had a great time playing with the other pups. Will definitely use again for boarding and daycare.”
“Lucero is great! She took my last minute booking, and followed my instructions to take care of my pop! Sent thorough updates multiple times a day, and tons of photos and videos. Gonna book again next week! Thanks!”
“Conner is great! Went out of town for five days and was not worried about Larry once. He was communicative, took Larry on some awesome hikes, and sent photos everyday. The entire process was stress-free! I would recommend him to anyone looking for boarding services!”
“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”
“Our older dog loved his time with Aimee and her partner! They sent updates and photos and set our minds at ease. I appreciated that she had our dogs meet first; she really cared that our pup felt comfortable with their sweet dog and the space before we left. Aimee and E are lovely people and excellent pet sitters. We will book again. Thank you for loving our Dexter!”
“The most awesome dog boarder! Sandi's house is our boys home away from home. Sandi is attentive and always responds. If you want to feel your dogs are in good hands, select her house and you won't be disappointed. Thanks Sandi!”
“Katey & Alyson were great. Our fur baby had a great time with them. They gave him several walks during the day and I received updates throughout the day on how he was doing. I appreciated the communication. I could tell when I picked up our baby after work that he enjoyed his day. I would highly recommend Katey and Alyson. We will definitely contact them again when we need a sitter for the day or if we plan any trips.”
“Love you RoverRita!!!! So happy to have found someone as special as you to care for Takeshi like I do 🥰🐾🥰🐾 thanks again for the sleepover weekend, made me feel so happy to know I have a new member to the “pack” 🐾😉🐾”
