Thank you Diana for loving my Loretta and treating her the way we do.”

He sent me lots of pictures and video to keep my updated on how my dog was doing in his care. Lenford is amazing and will be my go to from now on,”

Timmy stayed with them for 12 nights, and from the moment we dropped him off, it was clear he remembered them and felt comfortable right away. He was calm, relaxed, and not nervous at all, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Denis and his wife truly treat Timmy like family. They showed him so much love, care, and attention throughout his stay, and it honestly felt like he was at his second home. We knew he was in great hands the entire time.

It was super easy to set up a meet and greet for her to meet the kitties and was very amenable to follow all the pretty intricate directions I gave her.

“I've used Mandel twice now. I highly recommend him! He's a gentleman. I know that's a bit unusual to say, but that really sticks out to me. Also, he is always on time and is great with my elderly cat. I will always use him from now on!”
“Dayanara did exactly what I asked of her regarding the care of my two cats. She sent me updates and pictures over my weekend away, which washed away any of my anxiety regarding the well-being of my cats. I will definitely be hiring her next time when I need someone to watch my cats and will recommend her to any of my friends with pets as well. Thanks so much Dayanara!”
“Robin always does such a good job with my fur babies. It’s nice having someone I can trust with no worry and keeps in close touch with me. They enjoy her company and home. She has watched my cats before prior to Rover and I use this just in case there is ever a time she is not available when I need. Which is always highly unlikely she’s so accommodating.”

They are trustworthy and reliable, kind and caring. The communication is outstanding. Above all, Blaze and Starlette are calm and comfortable with them. I am a flight attendant, with Rosandy and Edward, I can certainly relax at work and rest easy fr those nights I am away from home. I am beyond thankful for meeting you both.”

She was very responsive and shared thoughtful, detailed updates in each Rover card. I genuinely looked forward to reading them after every visit. It was clear she cared for Skylar & Jackson as if they were her own. I was able to feel at ease during my trip because I knew they were in good hands. Highly recommend!”
About: I love looking after pets and getting to know each of their unique personalities. I think animals make the world a better place by being here. They teach us about patience, love, loss, and growth. The great thing about all pets is they're all different in their own way and they all offer love. I have two cats at home, who are pretty low maintenance, they need plenty of love and play time. I dedicate every day more than an hour to each cat to make sure they feel loved and entertained. It obviously entertains me as well! Patience and looking for warning signs are very important. Taking time to communicate to the pet owners of any concerns is also a priority if that is the case. I think a good line of communication is super helpful. Getting to know the pets is helpful too.
“Laura is wonderful! She took excellent care of my kitty while I was away. I could tell she’s great with cats when she came to see Rio for a meet & greet, which put my mind at ease. Will definitely be calling Laura in the future, highly recommend! Thank you, Laura!”
“Regina was such a thoughtful, caring, and attentive sitter for our two cats. She sent pictures and video clips every day, and let us video call them when she could sense they missed us. She was considerate and kind, and I loved that she created a genuine connection with our babies, so much so that she will miss them. I highly recommend working with Regina. Thank you for making our week-long vacation worry-free!”

“judith, is an awesome caregiver, she kept me informed throughout the day with text updates and photos, my baby girl Bella came home well care for and happy I would definitely be rebooking with her often. five stars”
“Iwona was fantastic and updated me frequently. She was very kind to my dog, who has a lot of anxiety but Iwona handled it with a lot of grace and seemed like my dog didn't want to come back from having such a good time Would recommend!”
“What a lovely person - I’d give her 100 stars if that were an option. To explain, I had to go into my office LAST minute and at 1230 am it was my first time using this app and I posted requests for someone to basically dog sit for the same day- she was immediately responsive even though it was a last minute request. I saw she had already gotten consistent great reviews and I was worried to leave my 7 week old shih tsu (like a baby) with anyone ) -Jameeka she handles all dog ages - she was responsive, kept me updated throughout the day. I even got stuck in traffic on the way for pick up and was late she was fine. The top 3 reasons I give Jameeka 5 stars is because 1) she is the opposite of stressful and worked with my unique needs, 2) she has great communication skills snd 3) it is clear she is an expert - my puppy was returned perfectly she gave me some updates and my puppy was happy and fell right asleep because Jameeka ensured my puppy got play time and exercise time - thank you !”
“Emily and her family are wonderful people! I’m very grateful to have found them, my dog Ollie has such a fantastic time with them every single time!

She is super understanding and flexible, a true animal lover and caring person. Definitely would recommend and will be returning back!”
“Lauren was very accommodating when I had to reschedule my appointment and I was happy we could work out alternate plans. I was kept updated throughout Albert's stay and will reach out to Lauren again.”
“Ms. Anamika was phenomenal with our puppy who suffers with separation anxiety. He got to exercise in her backyard and had so much room to explore and be curious. She provided pictures and videos to put our minds at ease while his dad and I went to work. We definitely recommend and will be using her services again. Peace and blessings, Amanda, Tanner and Ragnar Ganesh.”
“I had a wonderful experience with Stephanie as our dog sitter! She took care of my dog overnight and did an amazing job. I received daily updates and adorable photos, which made me feel so at ease. She was incredibly pleasant, accommodating, and truly seemed to care about my pet's well-being. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Rachel is amazing! I was very impressed at our first meeting. She asked if I had time for a walk with her and her dog Rockz. As we walked we talked and I felt comfortable leaving Kamaria in her care. She introduced another dog to Kamaria on our return and things went great. She is very knowledgeable of the bully breed and caring with a clean environment. She is very active with Kamaria. She loves going to daycare with Rachel as she gets so excited waiting to go inside. We will definitely use Rachel again! Thank you”
“Laura is seriously the best sitter ever. I’m so grateful I found someone I trust this much with my dog. He absolutely loves her and gets so excited every time he sees her. She always keeps me updated with pictures and messages, which gives me so much peace of mind. She’s genuinely one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met and you can truly see how much love and passion she has for animals. She treats every dog like her own and goes above and beyond every time. My dog always comes home so happy. I honestly couldn’t recommend her more, she’s an amazing person inside and out.”
About: •Pet First Aid/CPR •Senior dog/Cat care •Daily exercise and enrichment for dogs and cats •Pet grooming •Oral medication administration •Basic commands and socialization •Potty/Lease/Crate training I work part-time, so I have plenty of time and attention to devote to your pets during their stay. Pets are treated like family here. I live in a pet friendly house with a fenced yard, close to parks for walks/playtime. I have 2dogs and 3cats all are very friendly.
“Denise was so sweet and so prompt. She was very welcoming and kept me informed with photos and videos of my Lasso. Lasso is pooped from playing with the other dogs all day and hanging in the backyard. I will definitely contact Denise again for dog sitting.”
About: Hi! My name is Sara and I love dogs. My two rescues and I live in a four family house in Glendale with plenty of indoor and outdoor space to play. Sadie and Philly love to have pals over and love making new friends. Dog handling is in my blood. My grandmother was a breeder and trainer for Guide Dogs of America. Because of her, I have experience with pregnant mothers and newborns. My knack for leash and obedience training came from her as well. I used to manage a dog daycare in Brooklyn and run my own dog walking business back in the day. Now I work from home and have all the time in the world to hang out with dogs! Growing up, my parents had a malamute, a Dalmatian, a lab/setter mix, and a lab/pittie mix. I raised these dogs with my father and learned to care for animals starting from a very young age. My father was a professional dog trainer in Southern California and worked specifically with rescues from kill shelters and aggressive dogs. He taught me everything he knew about training them. Though my first encounters with dogs had been bigger breeds, I found a warm spot in my heart for small breeds I met when I moved to the city. I love all dogs. Our house is perfect for your pet because it is on a quiet street in a quiet neighborhood with its own private backyard. There aren't too many rules here. There are five steps leading up to the house and five steps to the backyard. If your dog is older or has joint issues, this may be worth a consideration. I am experienced and capable to help dogs up and down stairs, but it may not be the best fit if it would stress your pup out. In a perfect world, we could make the arrangements for our dogs to meet at a dog park nearby before the boarding dates, but I realize that everyone has busy schedules and that may not always be possible. At the very least, I would like to meet you and your dog beforehand. I offer a pickup and drop-off service for an additional fee and introduce my dogs to new dogs on neutral territory with a long walk. I have been doing this professionally since 2015. The amenities in my space, my extensive experience, and the wonderful time your pup will have with us are what make staying with us extra special. It truly is your pup's second home. Hope you choose to board with us! I have pets so it is built into my routine and since I work from home, we can keep a regular schedule. I feed them twice a day and walk them twice a day and let them out for breaks in the yard throughout the day. I have a fenced yard with dog friendly plants that dogs can hang out in. Sadie and Phil are always able to make a pup feel comfortable away from home.

We love that she looks out for our dog’s best interest by giving us any recommendations that make him feel more comfortable and safe. Our dogs fell in love with her right away. She takes care of Hachi as her own :) At first, I was a bit worried because we’ve never hired a dog walker through the app, but Shannakae gives us piece of mind. I would recommend hiring her anytime, hands down! We are extremely pleased and thankful for how well she takes care of Hachi. Your pet will be in good hands! She is very reliable, quick responsive and extremely friendly. Hachi adores her! We look forward to continuing working with you! :)”
About: I’ve been a dedicated dog owner for 9+ years, caring for my French Bulldog through every stage of her life—from playful puppy to senior years—which taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to adapt to a dog’s changing needs. I now have a Cavapoo and love going through all the puppy milestones again, including basic training, routines, and socialization. I’m especially attentive to each dog’s personality, whether that means keeping up with an energetic pup or providing gentle, patient care for older dogs. I genuinely treat every dog like my own—making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I currently have a flexible schedule and am not working a traditional job, which allows me to dedicate focused time and attention to pet care. I’m starting with weekend availability so I can provide consistent, reliable care and ensure each pet gets my full attention. As I get established, I’m open to expanding my availability. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and can easily plan my week around their needs When caring for pets in their home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I always do a quick check to make sure there are no hazards or anything unsafe within reach, and I follow the owner’s instructions closely to keep their routine consistent. I give pets time to warm up to me at their own pace, using a calm and patient approach to build trust. Once they’re comfortable, I make sure they get plenty of attention, play, and care based on their energy level and personality. I also provide regular updates with photos and messages so owners feel reassured and connected while they’re away

“Sam was great with Milo! Sent photos and was communicative about pickup and drop off. He came back happy and healthy and we will be working with Sam again soon!!”
“I needed to find a last minute sitter as my usual one is unavailable. She is local to me which is great. We arranged for a meet and greet with our dogs and all went well (her dogs are so sweet!). She is very accommodating to my dog's needs and after picking her up the next day, she was so exhausted from a great time with Lauren and her family (humans and pets). We will definitely be booking with Lauren again!”
“Iwona took wonderful care of our dog while we were away and gave us real peace of mind. She kept us updated throughout the weekend and sent photos, which we always appreciate. Our dog was happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable with her. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful dog sitter!”
“Steven was absolutely amazing with Cookie! Photos were shared daily and Steven was very responsive! I could see that Cookie really enjoyed herself there I will be using his services again in the near future!”
“Diana is a true blessing! My dog Loretta has very very bad anxiety and separation anxiety. But Loretta is my baby! I love her and treat her like one of my children. Diana was WONDERFUL with her. She was with her 5 days and kept me up to date with everything. Pictures and everything. She gave me the biggest peace of mind. She made my vacation so enjoyable knowing my girlie was in the BEST hands! I would recommend Diana to anyone who wants their dog to be well taken care of and loved. Thank you Diana for loving my Loretta and treating her the way we do.”
“Amazing experience, Vanessa is great, my babies were taken care of as if they were part of her family. Vanessa is so loving and really payed attention to every detail. Will always recommend 100 %. Trixi (Dog) and Ash (Cat) had a amazing time.”
“No need to hesitate booking Steven. He was really great with my 2 dogs. Steven shared many pictures and videos of his family enjoying our dogs. He’s definitely a person the connects well with dogs, they had a great time, would highly recommend Steven and we will use him again.”
“It was Maddie's first time away from home and she enjoyed her stay with Leah. We got photos and updates of Maddie regularly. Leah and her husband are perfect dog sitters. Thank you so much Leah.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Rachel! She took great care of our Amy, sending us photos every day and giving us a full report on how Amy was doing. She took Amy for nice walks and gave her outside time in the back yard. Amy was clearly happy and comfortable, we couldn't have asked for a better boarding situation for our dog.”
“This is my second time boarding my cat with Sydney. Sydney is always super sweet and her kitty is also incredibly friendly and adorable. I received so many pictures and updates on Stormie's stay, and he always has such a great time with Sydney”
“My doodle, Pacey, was so well cared for and judging by the constant stream of happy photos, he clearly felt right at home. Thank you for the care, the cuddles, and the great communication! We can’t wait to book again.”
“Chuck is such a great sitter. He set up a met and greet with my dog the same day I booked with him. From our first meeting I knew he’d be gentle with my dog. And from the questions he asked I knew he understood and was responsible. He sent videos and updates of my boo frequently. He administered the medication as instructed and was a calming presence for both me and my dog throughout his stay. I highly recommend him for any of your pet sitting needs.”
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of Gio again. It’s a relief knowing he’s in good hands when we’re away. He seems so happy and relaxed. Looking forward to the next time!”
“We absolutely loved Michael and Michelle caring for our fur babies. We went on vacation for 2 weeks and were sent numerous photos and updates which kept our minds at ease. They were very knowledgeable in understanding the special meds and diet our pets needed. We can't thank them enough. Highly recommended.”
“Our child Pepper stayed with Benjamin and it was so great! She stayed for over a week and he sent lots of photos/videos, and was very warm and responsive. He’s a pro and we really liked that she got to interact with other dogs and be a part of his beautiful family. Will definitely book again on our next trip!”
“First time booking on Rover. Elaine is very accommodating and I was able to book her on short notice. I have a six month old pug puppy who is very energetic and just got a neuter surgery, and she was able to accommodate his needs and care for him. She sent photos while I was away, mainly of him napping so I know he was tired out. She provided feedback on his pulling behaviors on walks and suggested different types of harnesses. I will definitely book her again, and thank you, Elaine!”
“What a wonderful family! Pamela takes such fantastic care of our dog while we were out of the country (1 week). Constant communication and photos. Our dog was treated like a member of their family and would highly recommend them to any one looking for a pet sitter!”
“My dog had the best time with Sara! She’s so sweet, and has two wonderful pups who made him feel right at home. We’ll definitely be returning for play dates!”
“My dog Wishbone boarded with Alexandra for several days. She was extremely communicative and obviously very sweet with him! I'd trust her with Wishbone again with enthusiasm.”
