“Janelle and Joel took excellent care of our two shepherds while we were away for a week. They were so naturally good with them from the first moment we introduced them. We were able to relax and sleep at night, knowing they were being loved and cared for! They sent regular updates and pictures, even a special one from each dog on Mother’s Day. ❤️”
“Renee was an amazing sitter!! My pup can be both a little shy and very energetic but she did a great job taking care of him. She was always friendly and prompt in her communication and I’d trust her with any dog!”
“Megan took such great care of our dog! She kept us updated with photos throughout our stay and we could see how happy our pup was. Her kids were also so incredibly sweet and gentle with her! Definitely recommend and will absolutely be rebooking when we’re in need of a sitter in this area!”
“Emily was wonderful. Very responsive and took great care of my dog. She also was very accommodating when I arrived back later then expected to pick up my dog. Will definitely use her again.”
“Ashley is by far the best pet sitter that we’ve used on Rover! She sends photos and videos throughout our pups entire stay and really tends to her needs while she’s there. Ashley is always on top of things even when watching multiple dogs at a time! She is fantastic in keeping our pup safe, happy, and healthy while she’s in her home and ensuring that our requests and Sophie’s needs are met! This last weekend was probably our 3rd or 4th time booking with Ashley and we absolutely could not recommend her more! She is a 5-star Rover sitter all around and we can always tell just how much she loves dogs and loves her job! Thank you Ashley!”
“Min and Matthew were exceptional sitters for my girl, Rani! Not only did they play with her endlessly (seriously, Rani has zero ability to self-regulate and they went with it!), they also cared for her as their own pup. When she was being finicky about eating, Min took the time to spoon feed her just like I do. Min also send so many pictures and videos, which helped me feel so at peace knowing Rani was well taken care of and loved. I will definitely be sending Rani back to Min and Matthew’s in the future…the 40 minute drive to/from our place is more than worth it!”
“If I could give more stars for Jesse, I would! She is absolutely perfect and took care of my Aretha with so much care and warmth. She even came over to assist me in getting Aretha situated because he was NOT a happy camper with going to a sitter while mom (me) was away. LOL This was my first time using Rover and I must say, choosing her was the best decision made! I will definitely be using her again and highly recommend!!!! A million stars!!!!”
“Chris watched my dog, Francine while I was away and I can’t recommend him enough. He and his mom treated her like she was their own and provided daily updates and photos throughout her stay. It was a great experience and the most comfortable I’ve felt leaving my dog with someone else. If you need a trustworthy pet sitter, your dog will be in great hands with Chris.”
“Ellen is a phenomenal sitter. Athena has stayed with her twice and there are always other pups for her to play with and so much space. Ellen has no issue at all maintaining multiple dogs! Athena is always so happy at drop off and pickup, and needs a big nap after her stay from all the fun! We look forward to booking again!!”
“Barbara was wonderful & took great care of Ruby!! She kept us updated with photos, videos & messages .. very appreciated. She also enjoyed playing with Dobby .. and came home a happy pup. We look forward to more happy stays with Barbara, Dobby & fam. Tnk you! :)”
“Can’t say enough about how much my Fur baby loves her second home. Always treated like she is their own full of love and affection. Trusting these two with your animal is the best decision you can make. They are are wonderful.”
“Clover had a great time with Kelsie and her kids. She got to go on some outings, play at the house, and have lots of snuggle time which she loves. I would definitely recommend and would bring Clover back if I was in the area!”
“Melissa and her family were such a great place for Harper. She was able to spend time outside and off leash, as well as cozy up to the boys on the sofa - all of her favorite things.”
“I had to leave my dog Thenji with Adrienne and Nick at very short notice. They were able to take her. It was so reassuring to know that she was being so lovingly cared for!”
“Sarah was wonderful about sending pictures and updates every day! She took great care of our little one and our puppy seemed very happy there. Thank you so much, Sarah, for treating her like family and taking great care of her. Will definitely book again!”
“Chris and Gerry are so nice, loving, and kind. My girls felt at ease while staying with them. It helps that they only take one client at a time. If you are looking for someone to love your babies like their own, look no further. Definitely book with Chris and Gerry!”
“Poppy loves Heidi and you can tell that Heidi loves her! Not only does Heidi give excellent care but she is flexible when we need to adjust our schedule! I cannot recommend Heidi highly enough!!”
“My dog had a great time boarding with Satsuki! It was one of my longer trips so I was worried but all those worries went away quickly. Satsuki took great care of my dog and gave me regular updates including pictures - which I love! Would definitely rebook again”
“We always feel reassured that our pup is taken care of and they’re happy to have her. Daisy is treated like the princess she is. I highly recommend their family to watch your beloved pets.”

“Heidi is a great pet sitter! She took amazing care of our dog while we were gone for 4 days. I received updates in the form of messages, photos and videos from every visit. We are grateful for her and will not hesitate to hire her again.”
“Tiffany took amazing care of our animals (cats, ducks, rabbits) while we were away! Great communication, sent us updates and pics with each visit. Would recommend her for anyone looking for pet sitting needs. We will definitely use her services again!”
“She is really great. I had a last minute request, and she was very accomodating. I can tell from the pictures I get of them they are okay with her as opposed to most other people. I completely trust her with my cats.”
“Arnie was fabulous! My dogs love him and feel comfortable to let him in the house without us being there. He did a great job take care of the babies. Will book with him again when we need it!”
“This is the first time I have ever written an online review for anything. However, I have decided, in this case, a review is very much warranted. I needed a cat sitter for two trips that were only a few weeks apart. From my first meeting with Heather prior to my first trip to return home after my second trip, I never once worried about the care my cats were receiving. She was an absolute delight to work with. From the very first request to cat sit the communication was phenomenal. I loved that she didn't try to "force" herself onto my shyer cats like so many people try to do. She knew some cats will only accept you on their own terms with their own timeline. Heather was kind enough to roll my trash can to the street for pick up day and move it back to the house afterwards, and she washed up cat dishes even though I told her originally that she didn't have to do that! For those that are looking at costs, yes there are some sitters that have cheaper prices. I am also here to tell you that you will absolutely not regret booking Heather for your pet care needs. You will not worry if you know she is in charge of your fur babies. She does not treat pet sitting as a nice side job to make extra money. Heather knows she is responsible for members of your family and she takes that job very seriously. I will absolutely use Heather again in the future, as long as she is able and willing as well. Thank you, Heather!”
“Cari was great. Very punctual with all her drop ins and sent pictures. She also took the time to reach out and try to find one of our shy cats to make sure she was okay while we were gone.”
“Kirsten did an excellent job. Responded to any question I had. We felt comfortable having her in our house. We had a good time while away, and did not worry about our kitties care.”
“Teri is a great cat sitter. She was 100% reliable, and gave me regular feedback. Buddy took to her right away, and, from the pictures, apparently enjoyed her visits. Upon my return, I found him healthy & happy.”

“Michael was great with my cat and dog. My dog had separation anxiety issues and let me know whenever she did do a little damage and gave her a walk to help her. He was very attentive with their needs. I would use him again!”
“Amber is a great person that is kind and caring. This is the first time I have left my cats with someone that isn’t family; she definitely made the experience positive and I know I will be calling her in the future.”
About: I have had dogs my entire life. Cats since I was 11. I have ridden and worked with horses since I was 5. I do all my animals vetting minus their rabies vaccinations. I have a senior Husky, a three year old German Shepherd and an eleven month old Pitbull/German shepherd mix. I have a ball python as well as two eight year old tuxedo cats. I love them all! All my babies are spoiled rotten and I share in the spoils! I currently stay at home and I'm a football mom so I have an open schedule around practices and games to take care of needs of others! I currently do not offer boarding as I do not have a fence. My dogs and I love to lounge around, play and adventure the yard for all the new smells. My babies have my full house to roam and are only put up when I leave as they are mischievous and get themselves into trouble. We go out every few hours to potty and roam the yard to smell all the smells, because you never know who has been in the yard in the last two hours! We must patrol! Lots of walks and toys! In your home, it is whatever you and your pet need! Walks, playtime, medication, pop-ins.
“Sarah was so wonderful with my car, Astrid. Astrid is very, very shy, and Sarah was able to draw her out for play and snuggles on the first day. I always worry about leaving her, but Sarah took such fantastic care of Astrid that I wasn’t anxious after the first day. Thank you for taking such good care of her!”
“Matthew came last minute for me and did a phenomenal job. I have a Cane Corso and German Shepherd and he handled both without any issues. Def will be using him again and highly recommend him.”

I will ensure your pet is walked and cared for in a gentle and tailored manor. I pay attention to any concerns in the bowel movements. l also ensure they have food and water per each pets unique needs.
“Gabby is consistent and easy to schedule with. She never minds going above and beyond and is the first to offer and check if we need anything extra during her visits. Plus, she doesn’t mind crawling around while trying to lure our skittish cat out from under the couch with treats - that alone deserves 5 stars.”

“This is the 2nd dog we entrusted Charlie with and she had a great time. She loves running and playing in the big yard with the other dogs. We will definitely be using Charlie again.”
“We took Finn over to Arlene’s for the first time yesterday to spend the day (after our meet and greet a couple of weeks prior). We picked him up from Arlene and she told me that I t took a little time (an hour) to get him to settle down, but after that he had a full day of play with the other 2 dogs that were there. From looking at the photos, I could tell Finn had the most enjoyable day! (He’s an only dog.) We plan on going out of town and I’m so happy to find someone that we feel comfortable leaving him with. Anyone that is interested in finding a great dog person Arlene is the one! She took several photos and I could tell Finn was in his happy place. ❤️”
“Tux has always been anxious when left behind, but did very well with Emily all day. She was very attentive to his needs and he got along well with her other daycare pup. She sent numerous pictures and answered my texts right away when I checked in on him. She asked permission to take him on a short ride in her car, which I granted since he loves car rides and hates being left behind. I will definitely book with her again. Thanks, Emily, for taking such great care of our boy.”
“Great experience and service and Boodah loved going back each day. Kierstan was awesome and helped me navigate some tricky scheduling changes around festival performances. 10 stars!”

I bring a calm, nurturing energy that pets respond to naturally, and I treat every animal like they’re my own.

I work full-time from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive and consistent care throughout the day. My mornings start with taking my three children to daycare and school, after which I return home to begin my desk job.

About: I have decades of experience with both cats and dogs! I have a reactive/senior dog that I have had since he was a puppy. He also suffered from severe separation anxiety, that I had to help him with when we first got him. I rescued him from the Humane Society. I have had training with him, to help give him his best life. I have experience with both dogs and cats, from puppy/kitten to senior age and every age in between. I do have basic pet training skills, including leash training, as well. I also can administer oral medication when needed for dogs. I have experience with dogs with special needs, such as, blindness and special dietary needs. I have experience with active/herding dogs as well. My senior dog Willow, was a boarder/lab. She recently crossed over the rainbow bridge. She was over 13. She was a very active girl. I also have 2 grand dogs. A 4 year old male Great Dane/hound and a 1 1/2 year old male Australian shepherd. I take care of them from time to time when my family needs me too. I also have several clients that I regularly take care of their pets while they’re either at work or away on vacation.

About: Ive taken care of and owned dogs for 20+yrs. I have alot of love to give an will love yours like they are my own. I am currently off for summer break and am available all days and hours. I live alone with my furbaby Koda,and I love all animals! I have a year old chocolate lab who loves new friends. I have a fenced in back yard and I have a crate if needed.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 5. I’ve always believed that they should be shown so much love and compassion. I currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats of varying ages. I have looked after animals of all sizes and ages so I am well prepared. I have experience with feeding, walking, bathing, bathing, nail trimming, and medication giving. I currently am putting my full attention into pet care so I will have plenty of time available to take care of your furry family members. I am available all week days and most weekends. I have no problem staying nights if needed. I treat my fur babies like they are family and I give them lots of love. I will treat your pets with the same love I show mine. I have no problem following whatever routine and habits that will make your pets feel comfortable.
About: I've owned and watched dogs since I was 10 years old. From small puppies, elderly dogs, to dogs huge as a mastiff and small as a chihuahua. Whether they be my own, friends, or families I held dear, being around and caring for dogs have always been a huge part of my life! I've fed them, bathed them, given them medicine, and have always been relable. Currently, I am mostly self-employed & studying for a Real Estate license. I do work mornings at a horse barn, and have a contract gig working occasional weekends with a D&D-styled Bed & Breakfast. Thankfully those shifts are scheduled months in advance and, for barn work, typically wrap up around 11-Noon. :) I'm always willing to give dogs the ample affections and pets they need! I'm super attentive to when they need to go outside/take a walk, have their food right on schedule, have some playtime, or whenever they just geniunely need attention and love. I honestly do it everyday for my own dogs. So I'll have no trouble giving them the same needs I give my precious wee babies.
About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. I look out for them. I believe exercise is critical. I care about their comfort and nutrition, including constant fresh water! I like to have notes on personalities and habits of the dogs I care for so as to help the animal feel comfortable. I prefer dogs that have been crate trained or trained for healthy habits. A crate is a necessary tool and a dog should feel safe in a crate. If I need to step out for any reason, your dog will be put in a crate for their safety (or your preferred method). Favorite toys and bedding is encouraged. Please know that your dog is safe and cared for while in my supervision. I'm home most of the day with the exception of a few hours(3-3 1/2) so, your dog will have my attention and care! Besides, all dogs need naps, right? :-) Holiday rates will apply to all of my services. Mostly retired. Why not use my time to care for wonderful animals? I currently have 3 cats. My dogs are gone but not forgotten, r.i.p. ♥ I have a fenced yard and a cat-tio. Safety is utmost important to me while caring for animals. Trust me, I care immensely. No worries.
“I messaged Jaden and she was able to come that same evening for a meet and great, and start walks as early as the next day. I highly recommend her! Jaden has been walking my puppy Toby for 3 weeks now. On time, great communication, super flexible and has great availability. Will continue to work with Jaden moving forward.”
About: My husband and I have been around dogs our entire life, small to large breed, we love dogs! Our little one absolutely loves having them around, being outside, throwing ball, treats, etc. So, your pet would need to be great with kids :) We live in the beautiful Whittier neighborhood with plenty of walking options. Our backyard is enclosed with a high eight foot fence. So, your pet would be plenty comfortable. Or, if you're away, I could come to your pet for their time outdoors. I have a small SUV, so transportation is always an option! We're comfortable letting your pet roam the house while we're here and away. We would only take on more than one dog after talking to the owner of our current stay, and the dogs are compatible, or they come from the same home! With that said, we do not have any four legged pets of our own.... only tanked ones ;) three amano shrimp, two tetras, and two narite snails! So, your pet will have the luxury of our undivided attention! When your pet would come to stay with us, we do ask for as much info/'their 'stuff' as you can bring/provide regarding your pets normal/routine at their home, commands, tricks, toys, food, bedding... etc so your pet is comfortable and enjoys their time here, and so we can keep them in as much of a similar framework as their home. The Rover site allows for pics and videos. So, we like to take a few during their stay and send them to owners! Our current stay and past stays have really enjoyed this! Prior to you or us making a decision on your pets stay, we would like for you all and your pet to visit our home. This will allow you to see and get a sense of our neighborhood and home - where your pet will be staying, and meet us! I hope this has been helpful for you!
“We can’t thank Leah enough for dropping in on our pups for us. She spent time with all 3 and was careful to follow all instructions for our foster babies! We’ll definitely be having Leah watch them again in the future!!”
About: I'm certified in CPR emergency vet services and have watched dogs in my home for years. If you are working long hours and or regular hours and need someone to take care of your dog while you're at work, I'm the one. Sometimes when we leave our dogs alone at home while we work they can get into a lot of things. They can get bored. They can be destructive and they get very lonely. Most of the clients that I work with have a job work long hours and their dogs at times have torn their house, their furniture or whatever they can find completely up and then they have such a mess when they get home. We love our dogs. We love them more than anything and it's hard to come home like that. So if you're tired of it and need someone to help, I'm the one for you. I'm retired. I have two dogs that are so used to other dogs. They don't get out of my sight. Believe me. I have leashes harnesses beds. Anything they need? Lots of toys and lots of activity. I don't have a fenced-in yard but that's why I take small dogs and I can walk them two to three times a day. Whatever you would like to have done. They are allowed on my furniture and in bed with me if they happen to spend the night. They have full run of the household just like mine does. My two dogs are small and they love other dogs after their first initial visit. My dogs are used to other dogs in my house that are not mine and we all get along. Meet and greets are essential. I love animals of all kinds, but I find that dogs are my ones that I can handle the best. It gives the owner peace of mind knowing that their dog is with someone that will take good care of them. So if you need somebody like me just me know. We'll see what we can work out. Randomly I will be able to watch them overnight. If something happens you have to work late or the weather gets bad and you can't make it to my home. That's not a problem. I've got a big bed and lots of blankets and lots of pillows and lots of dog beds if that's where they like to sleep. 🐾 All dogs must be up to date on shots and flea and tick medicine. All dogs will be checked when they come to my house to make sure that there's no fleas. If they do have fleas then I will bathe them And let you know that they need flea and tick medicine before they return. I have plenty of references if you request. I’m retired and am home all day. I’m prepared ahead of time for hosting dogs. The reason I have a one-day notice is so I can prepare my house with anything I may need so that there is no leaving the dogs by theirself. All pets free roam my home. They get to sleep wherever they are used to. They are fed according to the pet parents instructions. All pets get two to three walks a day .Lots of potty breaks, water provided outside and of course inside. They get lots of hugs and treats if aloud by pet parents.
About: I’ve been in love with animals since I was a child- there has always been dog(s) in my household. During high school and college, I would often dog sit as an overnight sitter for local families and professors! I have experience walking and caring for dogs of all ages and sizes. My job consists of mostly evening hours, which leaves me some extra availability throughout the day ! This makes me an extremely flexible person, and I’m more than willing to work with you. I have a lab/pix who is friendly to most dogs after a quick introduction- I also have the ability to keep dogs separated from each other.

“Janelle and Joel took excellent care of our two shepherds while we were away for a week. They were so naturally good with them from the first moment we introduced them. We were able to relax and sleep at night, knowing they were being loved and cared for! They sent regular updates and pictures, even a special one from each dog on Mother’s Day. ❤️”
“Renee was an amazing sitter!! My pup can be both a little shy and very energetic but she did a great job taking care of him. She was always friendly and prompt in her communication and I’d trust her with any dog!”
“Megan took such great care of our dog! She kept us updated with photos throughout our stay and we could see how happy our pup was. Her kids were also so incredibly sweet and gentle with her! Definitely recommend and will absolutely be rebooking when we’re in need of a sitter in this area!”
“Emily was wonderful. Very responsive and took great care of my dog. She also was very accommodating when I arrived back later then expected to pick up my dog. Will definitely use her again.”
“Ashley is by far the best pet sitter that we’ve used on Rover! She sends photos and videos throughout our pups entire stay and really tends to her needs while she’s there. Ashley is always on top of things even when watching multiple dogs at a time! She is fantastic in keeping our pup safe, happy, and healthy while she’s in her home and ensuring that our requests and Sophie’s needs are met! This last weekend was probably our 3rd or 4th time booking with Ashley and we absolutely could not recommend her more! She is a 5-star Rover sitter all around and we can always tell just how much she loves dogs and loves her job! Thank you Ashley!”
“If I could give more stars for Jesse, I would! She is absolutely perfect and took care of my Aretha with so much care and warmth. She even came over to assist me in getting Aretha situated because he was NOT a happy camper with going to a sitter while mom (me) was away. LOL This was my first time using Rover and I must say, choosing her was the best decision made! I will definitely be using her again and highly recommend!!!! A million stars!!!!”
“Ellen is a phenomenal sitter. Athena has stayed with her twice and there are always other pups for her to play with and so much space. Ellen has no issue at all maintaining multiple dogs! Athena is always so happy at drop off and pickup, and needs a big nap after her stay from all the fun! We look forward to booking again!!”
“Barbara was wonderful & took great care of Ruby!! She kept us updated with photos, videos & messages .. very appreciated. She also enjoyed playing with Dobby .. and came home a happy pup. We look forward to more happy stays with Barbara, Dobby & fam. Tnk you! :)”
“Clover had a great time with Kelsie and her kids. She got to go on some outings, play at the house, and have lots of snuggle time which she loves. I would definitely recommend and would bring Clover back if I was in the area!”
“Melissa and her family were such a great place for Harper. She was able to spend time outside and off leash, as well as cozy up to the boys on the sofa - all of her favorite things.”
“Sarah was wonderful about sending pictures and updates every day! She took great care of our little one and our puppy seemed very happy there. Thank you so much, Sarah, for treating her like family and taking great care of her. Will definitely book again!”

“My dog had a great time boarding with Satsuki! It was one of my longer trips so I was worried but all those worries went away quickly. Satsuki took great care of my dog and gave me regular updates including pictures - which I love! Would definitely rebook again”
“Terri was amazing. So chill and relaxed around our sensitive dog. She is one of those rare sitters that does not have her own dogs or cats and is 100% dedicated to yours. She has a house and yard that are peaceful and quiet and in a great neighborhood for interesting walks. I would 100% recommend Terri, she is an absolute gem.”
“Michelle is the friendliest and most accommodating dog sitter we’ve ever had. We appreciate her for taking good care of Max. We highly recommend and would avail her service in the future”
“They took wonderful care of our dog! They took her on field trips and adventures. They provided pictures and videos and were completely accommodating to our schedule and our dogs needs. Sammy had the best time and came home happy, healthy and tired! We felt completely at ease with them and their dog. Beautiful property for the dog to spend a weekend and we will happily use them again. Wonderful care of our dog without a worry! Thank you!”
“Nat & Ally were amazing. We felt so comfortable leaving our baby June (an 80lb bernadoodle) with them. They sent pictures everyday that made us so happy to see how much love they were showing her. We will definately be repeat customers. Thank you so much Nat & Ally”
“Jennifer is great with our pitbull Kato. He is so excited to go to her house every time we take him there he doesnt even say goodbye! She has toys for him to play with and always sends pictures to let us know how he is doing. He has stayed with Jennifer many time and she is always available in short notice.”
“Annette is truly an amazing dog host. She knows animal behavior so well. Her own pets are wonderful and our dog loved visiting as a guest. She is an expert with regard to introducing pets to one another. I wish he could go on a mini-vacation once a week!”
