“Laquitta and James were wonderful taking care of our Duncan. They kept us posted with frequent texts and pictures of our dog enjoying their company. We highly recommend their services.”
“From the first day we met Stephany at Rover, everything was good. Before leaving Loly in her care, we made an in-person visit to her home, where Stephany showed us around and answered any questions we had. Loly's stay with Stephany was very pleasant. During the three days Loly was with Stephany, she always kept us up to date with videos and photos of Loly, and she answered messages in a timely manner. In every photo and video, Loly looked very happy.”
“Andi was absolutely amazing taking care of our dog, Rico. We have not had him very long and we were filled with nerves leaving him so early. Andi updated us regularly and completely eased our minds. She took fabulous care of him and we look forward to her watching him again.”
“Diana was perfect! Every single day she sent me videos of Ginger… And I loved it, I could see how happy Ginger was and how much she was loving being in there! I really recommend Diana’s services!”
“She was so great with Benson, accommodating us very last minute on emergency and taking such great care of him, keeping me updated, giving him lots of love and play time. I so appreciate her and it's a great environment with a big yard and playmates. He had a blast and I'm so happy!”
“Lorraine was amazing! This was our first time using Rover so I was a little nervous but we got really lucky to have Lorraine. We have a lab with lots of energy and she came home exhausted! Walks, playtime and swimming. She sent pictures and videos everyday which made it so much easier to be away from our baby. We will definitely use Lorraine again and again.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years. I speak fluent Spanish! I’ve raised my dog Zoso since I was 14 when she was a puppy, she recently passed away at 17 years old so having other dogs around makes me so happy. I also have two cats who are young, orange, and friendly, and I own horses, so I’m experienced with pets of all sizes and personalities. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I am an expert on giving medication too from having a senior dog for many years! What sets me apart is my reliability, genuine love for animals, and the peace of mind I give owners knowing their pets are safe, comfy and happy. I spend most of the time at home working remotely so they will get all my attention! I currently work part-time from home, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility to care for pets during the week and weekends. I’m available for walks, drop ins, and boarding. I love spending time playing with animals, giving them attention, and making sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I provide a safe and comfortable environment where pets are treated like my own. I have a private yard linked to trails that I walk daily, and I’d love to bring your dog along for exercise and fresh air. Most importantly, I always follow the owner’s instructions closely to make sure every pet feels secure, comfortable with routine, and well cared for!
“Manny and Jessica took great care of our labradoodle puppy. They see by us pictures and had plenty of outdoor space for our dog to play and romp! I highly recommend them for your pet care!”
“Kailyn was amazing with our Ari! We got daily updates and she really kept Ari engaged during her stay while we were gone for Europe. Our dog Ari loved all the company she had at Kailyn’s home that she didn’t want to leave. I highly recommend Kailyn!”

“The boarding with Gage and Ann was everything I could hope for and more! My recent rescue melted into their loving structure like he had always been family. The regular updates and the prompt communication made it easy to relax and not worry about my pup one bit. My pup isn’t the easiest to manage and Gage was spectacular at recognizing body language cues and helped bring out more confidence in my dog. I will happily rebook any time I need a sitter!”
“Julia was absolutely wonderful! This was the first time in a long time that our dog had stayed with someone other than family, so naturally, we were a little anxious about how she would adjust. From the moment she arrived, Julia went above and beyond to make her feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. She kept us updated throughout her stay with thoughtful messages and adorable pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear how attentive and caring she was, especially when it came to helping ease our dog’s anxiety and making sure all of her needs were met. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and, without a doubt, will be reaching out to Julia again to care for our fur baby. Thank you so much, Julia, for treating her with such kindness, patience, and love. We truly appreciate you! ❤️🐾”
“It was an absolute PLEASURE booking with Allen! I was able to visit ahead of time and was shown where my cats would be during their stay, and I truly appreciate that as someone who is a nervous Nelly! The catio was a fun change for my babies and one didn’t even want to come down when we showed up to pick them up! Allen sent me photos to show me how they were doing and kept me updated which I appreciate! It truly was an easy process and I never felt like my babies weren’t cared for! I would happily book again if needed!”

“My dog daughter loves being with Angie and her husband. They take care of her as if she were her family. They allowed her to sleep with them and made her feel happy with games and walks. I would really book again and I recommend that if you want your furry ones to feel at home that you do it too. Pd. Thank you for all the photos and videos during her care.”
“Cyndi was wonderful with my lab Coco. I was very nervous because Coco is only 6 months old and has never stayed with anyone else. Plus she's spoiled to death. She absolutely loved being with Cyndi. I wouldn't leave Coco with anyone else. Thank you Cyndi for making me feel comfortable too and allowing me to enjoy my vacation with no worries.”
About: I have adored dogs since I was a little girl and truly believe they have the purest hearts of any creature on earth. Growing up, I was surrounded by four dogs of all different sizes, which taught me early on how to care for a pack and appreciate every unique personality. I don't discriminate when it comes to breeds. To me, a dog's genuine, nonjudgmental, and loving nature is what matters most. My empathy for animals runs deep, and my goal is to give every pup the love they deserve. I currently have a sweet Corgi (a wonderful gift from my daughter!), but my heart has always been dedicated to shelter pups and making sure every dog feels safe and understood. I bring endless patience, empathy, and a lifetime of hands on experience to every dog I welcome into my home. Because I am fully retired, my schedule is completely open and dedicated to what truly makes me happy: spending my days with dogs! Pet care isn't just something I fit into my day; it is my day. Your pet will rarely be left alone. Whether it's morning cuddles, afternoon play sessions in the background, keeping me company while I cook, or just relaxing together in our home, I am home full-time to provide constant companionship, supervision, and all the undivided attention they could ever want. I’ve set up my home to be as safe and comfortable for dogs as possible. We have a large, fully fenced backyard where they can run, play, and enjoy the sunshine. Inside, it’s cozy, completely dog friendly, and a child free environment. I really just want your dog to feel like they are relaxing in their own home. Your pup will also have my friendly resident Corgi to keep them company. To make sure the dogs don't overheat during the hot afternoons, my husband and I take them out for walks in the evening once it has cooled down. We live right next to a trailhead that is perfect for these evening strolls. I am always patient with new arrivals and will pay close attention to their behavior, adapting to whatever they need so they feel secure, relaxed, and loved the moment they arrive.

“Lorraine did a wonderful job caring for my cat. She checked in with me regularly to let me know what time she would be arriving and how my cat was doing. I came home to a happy healthy kitty who had been well cared for. I will definitely use her services again!”
“I have used Colleen multiple times and have been very satisfied with her. She is very reliable and attentive to each individual pet, and has been very flexible when life causes issues!”
“Salena was absolutely amazing! We were very nervous at first about signing up and trusting someone new in our home. But not only was she accommodating to our last minute booking but she was also responsive to our messages. So happy our boys were taken care of and we will definitely be booking her again in the future!”
“Madelin did an amazing job taking care of my two cats during her drop in visits. She gave them plenty of attention, treats, and love. She also took good care of my apartment and was very communicative. I highly recommend her and would hire her in the future!”
“She was great with our dogs Ella and Waylon! She kept us updated throughout her visit, including their bathroom breaks, and left a very detailed report about her time with them. She made sure they got plenty of exercise and walk time and even sent us lots of photos, which we really appreciated while we were away. We felt very comfortable knowing our dogs were in good hands. We would highly recommend her and would definitely book with her again!”
“We couldn't be happier with the care Amanda provided for Alex and Fiji. Communication was wonderful from the start and she provided pictures periodically throughout the weekend. She was dependable and always on time. Amanda followed all feeding instructions perfectly, kept our home tidy, and sent wonderful photos that gave us total peace of mind while away. They warmed up to Amanda immediately. Should we have a need, we will definitely book with Amanda again!"”
“Kim was amazing. We lost track of time as first time parents and were lucky enough to book her just a few days before the holidays, for a lengthy stretch. She went above and beyond caring for our 2 cats. Always daily pictures with a note. She noticed when our anxious cat started stress licking and was able to use our diffuser to help provide some calming smells for them. She even set our trash out on the last day which was not expected. Could not recommend her more!”

“Lorraine did a phenomenal job of introducing Miles to her home, caring for him and sending him home exhausted!!! He slept for 12 hours. We look forward to our next adventure 😀!!”
“Laquitta and James have been our "go to" Rover for several trips now. We like to refer to our fur baby as a velcro dog because she sticks so close to us. But it also means there aren't many Rovers she's happy about visiting. Laquitta and James are the exception. Though she's always happy to see us at the end of her stay, she loves hanging with Laquitta and James and their little fur babies.”
“Manny and Jessica were very sweet to my Luna and she even made a friend in Cash, their pup. I was happy with their flexibility during drop off and pick up and chatting with them about how Luna's experience was with them at the end was great. I recommend!”

We would definitely use her again with no hesitation, and would highly recommend her to all. Thank you Cyndi for making our day relaxing and knowing our pups were in great hands.”

About: We are a retired couple who truly enjoys having pets around and being able to give them the attention, love, and care they deserve. Since we are home all the time, your pets will have plenty of companionship and supervision throughout their stay. We have almost half an acre of fully fenced yard, giving dogs plenty of safe space to play, explore, and relax. We also have experience caring for both dogs and cats. For our feline guests, we have a special cat area with a fun tunnel and plenty of space, designed to help cats feel comfortable, entertained, and happy during their stay. Most importantly, we believe pets deserve personalized attention rather than being treated like they are in a kennel. That's why we accept a maximum of only 2 pets per booking per night. This allows us to give each pet the individual care, attention, and affection they need. Our goal is simple: to provide a safe, peaceful, spacious, and loving home where your pet can feel comfortable while you are away. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine and something I genuinely enjoy. I organize my schedule around the pets I care for to ensure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and rest. Since I only accept a maximum of 3 pets at a time for boarding or daycare, I’m able to give each one the personalized care they deserve. This also helps me create a calm and safe environment, especially for smaller dogs, as it prevents them from feeling overwhelmed or at risk around larger or more energetic pets. Safety, trust, and a welcoming environment are at the core of how we care for pets in our home. Our spacious, half-acre fenced yard ensures your pets have a secure and safe space to play, explore, and relax. We take great pride in creating a calm, loving atmosphere where pets feel at ease. As a retired couple, we're home all the time, which means your pet will never be left alone for long periods.

This allows me to dedicate the time and attention each pet deserves, whether it’s sticking to a specific routine, providing midday visits, or accommodating last-minute requests whenever possible. I enjoy making pet care a priority and ensuring every pet receives reliable, personalized care. I will care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, where they can feel safe and relaxed in their familiar environment. My goal is to learn each pet’s unique routine, personality, and preferences so I can provide the love, attention, and care they deserve.

This includes making sure they have plenty of playtime, long walks for our canine friends, and plenty of stimulation, as well as a clean environment (scoop litter boxes, make sure food/water are distributed appropriately, etc)! Each fur baby has different needs! I believe that owners know best, so my first step is to see what you want for your furry companion in terms of care! I love going on long walks, so happy to get plenty of exercise in with dogs, as well as letting them off leash (with explicit owner permission) within a fenced area! With our feline friends, I’m vigilant about doors, ensuring they don’t sneak out, and also love playing with them, and providing mental simulation!
“Daniela was amazing ! She took good care of our babies while we were away. From meeting her the first day we knew she love pets and they would be in great care! Will definitely book again! 💕”

“Courtney has built such a wonderful bond with my dog, Clifford—he absolutely lights up every time she visits. Her communication is exceptional; she keeps me consistently updated, sends photos, and always checks in, which gives me total peace of mind. She even goes the extra mile by notifying me when packages arrive and sending photos of where they’re placed. Courtney has an incredible personality, is genuinely kind and trustworthy, and takes care of Clifford as if he were her own. I couldn’t ask for a better dog walker and highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs most of my life and truly love all breeds and personalities. Your dog will feel safe, loved, and well cared for every visit. I offer walks tailored to your dog’s needs—whether it’s a quick potty break or a longer walk to burn energy. I’m also experienced with administering both oral and topical medications. In addition to dogs, I have experience caring for cats, birds, chickens, turtles/tortoises, and hamsters—so you can feel confident all your pets are in good hands. I am at stay at home mama with time to spare. My son is in school for 6.5 hours so I’m all yours. Even after school I’m available just with a sidekick. I keep dogs on a short leash. If you don’t have a fenced in yard no worries we shall secure the neighborhood instead. At my home we have a fenced in yard to keep my dogs safe and secure

“Andi was absolutely amazing taking care of our dog, Rico. We have not had him very long and we were filled with nerves leaving him so early. Andi updated us regularly and completely eased our minds. She took fabulous care of him and we look forward to her watching him again.”
“Lorraine was amazing! This was our first time using Rover so I was a little nervous but we got really lucky to have Lorraine. We have a lab with lots of energy and she came home exhausted! Walks, playtime and swimming. She sent pictures and videos everyday which made it so much easier to be away from our baby. We will definitely use Lorraine again and again.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years. I speak fluent Spanish! I’ve raised my dog Zoso since I was 14 when she was a puppy, she recently passed away at 17 years old so having other dogs around makes me so happy. I also have two cats who are young, orange, and friendly, and I own horses, so I’m experienced with pets of all sizes and personalities. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I am an expert on giving medication too from having a senior dog for many years! What sets me apart is my reliability, genuine love for animals, and the peace of mind I give owners knowing their pets are safe, comfy and happy. I spend most of the time at home working remotely so they will get all my attention! I currently work part-time from home, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility to care for pets during the week and weekends. I’m available for walks, drop ins, and boarding. I love spending time playing with animals, giving them attention, and making sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I provide a safe and comfortable environment where pets are treated like my own. I have a private yard linked to trails that I walk daily, and I’d love to bring your dog along for exercise and fresh air. Most importantly, I always follow the owner’s instructions closely to make sure every pet feels secure, comfortable with routine, and well cared for!
“Kailyn was amazing with our Ari! We got daily updates and she really kept Ari engaged during her stay while we were gone for Europe. Our dog Ari loved all the company she had at Kailyn’s home that she didn’t want to leave. I highly recommend Kailyn!”
“The boarding with Gage and Ann was everything I could hope for and more! My recent rescue melted into their loving structure like he had always been family. The regular updates and the prompt communication made it easy to relax and not worry about my pup one bit. My pup isn’t the easiest to manage and Gage was spectacular at recognizing body language cues and helped bring out more confidence in my dog. I will happily rebook any time I need a sitter!”
“Julia was absolutely wonderful! This was the first time in a long time that our dog had stayed with someone other than family, so naturally, we were a little anxious about how she would adjust. From the moment she arrived, Julia went above and beyond to make her feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. She kept us updated throughout her stay with thoughtful messages and adorable pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear how attentive and caring she was, especially when it came to helping ease our dog’s anxiety and making sure all of her needs were met. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and, without a doubt, will be reaching out to Julia again to care for our fur baby. Thank you so much, Julia, for treating her with such kindness, patience, and love. We truly appreciate you! ❤️🐾”
“It was an absolute PLEASURE booking with Allen! I was able to visit ahead of time and was shown where my cats would be during their stay, and I truly appreciate that as someone who is a nervous Nelly! The catio was a fun change for my babies and one didn’t even want to come down when we showed up to pick them up! Allen sent me photos to show me how they were doing and kept me updated which I appreciate! It truly was an easy process and I never felt like my babies weren’t cared for! I would happily book again if needed!”
“Cyndi was wonderful with my lab Coco. I was very nervous because Coco is only 6 months old and has never stayed with anyone else. Plus she's spoiled to death. She absolutely loved being with Cyndi. I wouldn't leave Coco with anyone else. Thank you Cyndi for making me feel comfortable too and allowing me to enjoy my vacation with no worries.”
“This was a great experience for myself and my dog. I received updates several times a day with photos and he was loved just like one of their own pets. They also accommodated to keep him for an additional day while I took care of an emergency and were willing to keep him longer if needed. Great experience and highly recommended :)”
“Linda took great care of my Rottie. Kept me updated on how she was doing and sent pics daily. I was nervous at first since I’ve never been separated from my Rottie before, but seeing her happy and smiling in her pics put me right at ease. I’m so happy I can plan my future trips knowing my baby will be in the best hands.”
“My puppy was loved and very cared for in Nelieze’s home. She was very professional and kept us updated throughout our weekend. Chanel seemed to reallly have enjoyed her stay! Thank you 😊”
“Ashley is amazing! From the first time we brought Pete to meet Ashley at the meet and greet we knew she was going to be the perfect sitter! Ashley provides picture updates and is quick to communicate! She makes drop off and pick up easy and has the perfect set up! We’ve already booked our next trips with Ashley!”
“Brendalee and Ruben are an excellent choice of dog sitters Ellie enjoys her time with them and they were very attentive to her and maintained great communication with me. Definitely would rebook with them.”
“As any pet owner would I was nervous leaving my babies with someone. However I was at ease with Brianna C services. I received numerous photos during each day of my 2 pups stay. They were having a great time in all the photos and enjoying themselves. Before leaving my 2 dogs we did a meet and greet and Brianna was very nice and and answered all the questions me and my husband had. I would most definitely use her again.”
“Kim was amazing! She maintained great communication all throughout my pet’s stay with pictures included. She works very well with dog behavior and adequate pet introductions. She’s very cautious and likes to makes sure your pet is comfortable in her home.”
“Our Mavericks visit went very well with Tifany, she is very knowledgeable of animals, and she took car of our dog like he was her own! She also made last minute accommodations right before the storm, and made the process very easy. Thanks Tifany!”
