“Tish was amazing with Bruno. Definitely felt like he was on vacation as we were:) he loved playing with their dogs in their backyard! Tish was super kind taking him for walks and hikes. She clearly loves dogs and all animals and we felt super confident leaving him with her. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”
“Christina and Brent are superb! They treat your fur-baby like their own. They took excellent care of my chocolate lab Harlie. I was nervous leaving her for 8 nights while on vacation, but they spoiled her rotten. Christina is great about sending pictures and updates. It was obvious by the pictures that Harlie was being well taken care of and getting lots of love and attention! Thank you Christina and Brent for taking such good care of Harlie! I highly recommend them! You can enjoy your vacation knowing that your fur-baby is being well cared for!”
“Brandi is awesome! She took great care of my pup and sent really nice updates and photos each day. My pup seemed to fit in really well with her and her family and I felt confident that his needs were taken care of. Will definitely book again. Thanks Brandi!”
“My dog had the best time here! They took him on many walks, and he loved sunbathing in the backyard and chasing squirrels. He was so tired when I picked him up which is always a sign he had a blast!”
“We are so grateful to have found Echo to watch our dog while we were out of town! Echo kept us updated on all the fun our dog was having, with pictures and text messages. Echo and her family played with our dog, took her for walks and spent time with her. The communication between us was perfect and she was so flexible with scheduling. And so friendly too! I highly recommend her.”
“I recently moved here and didn’t know anyone to leave my dog with. George and his mom were super welcoming and flexible. I am grateful to have somewhere I feel comfortable leaving him again, and I know he had a great time!”
“Just took our new 2 year old for the first time. Jaime has been watching our 10 year of dog for almost a year now. Both love going to her place. Always love the updates daily to see how much fun they have”
“Crista was super communicative and I wasn’t concerned about my dog once while we were gone. I felt confident that my pup was safe and as comfortable as she could be in Crista’s care. We will for sure use her again! Thank you, Crista!!”
“Amazing sitter!! Communication was easy and Penelope was so at ease under her care! I had a great experience and I know Penelope did too! It’s so nice to know that she’s not anxious while I’m away!”
“Georgie enjoyed a lot with Kayley and her family. They treated her as their own pack member and shared a bunch of pictures of them having fun every day. Thank you!”
“Rachel is a great sitter. I left my pup with her on two occasions - once for a weekend and another for an 8 day trip. She did an amazing job with her and I could tell my dog had a great time. She sends daily updates and photos which is greatly appreciated. More importantly Rachel is super understanding and was able to be flexible with me when my return flight was delayed and cancelled. I will definitely keep using her as my sitter anytime we go out of town - 10/10 would recommend!”
“Thank you give Joseph 10 Stars I would maybe I could give him two separate reviews and that would add up to 10 Stars. He kept me up to date with videos and photos. My Basset Hound didn't even want to leave. Having Joseph's services available to me really help me out and is going to help me out in the near future. I can't give you enough thanks Joseph!”
“Carrie is absolutely wonderful. She sent tons of pictures and videos and treated my Buster as her own. I was worried he wouldn’t want to come back! We’ll definitely be using Carrie as our go-to sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone looking. Thanks for everything, Carrie!”
“Stephanie took GREAT care of our two pups, and it gave us peace of mind to know that they were in such good and caring hands while we were away for a full week. Great communication, great caregiving, happy pups -- highly recommend!”
“Denita and her husband took care of my bullboxer and my granddaughter’s beagle while the family went on holiday for the long weekend. They were quick to reply if we sent a message, sent pics of our dogs enjoying their stay, and gave us a great overview of their stay when we picked them up. My girl went from shy and insecure to acting like she lived there. Before we booked, we met them and visited for about an hour while our pups got acquainted with them and their pups. I have never left my girl with anyone but family, but now I feel as if I can. Thanks so much!”
“First time boarder for our puppy and it went wonderfully. Our puppy seemed right at home and had fun playing with Angela's puppy. She has a great fenced yard the dogs can play in as well. We will definitely use Angela again!”
“This was my first time using Rover. I was nervous. Pam was perfect for my pup Jack. She was kind and compassionate, sent me multiple pics of Jack while he was there and he was a happy camper when I picked him up. Will definitely reach out again for Pam. 💛”
“My dog just got back from Brooke’s and was the happiest I have seen him ever after boarding. She was super thorough and provided the best updates. Will definitely be using her again as I trust she will take good care of kota!”
“Sara is the best! I recently left my sweet boy Leo with Sara while I traveled across the country for over a week. Due to flight delays and massive storm my trip was extended and I was delayed getting home. Sara gladly kept Leo longer and made sure I received updates and photos while I was away and missing my pup. I’m so grateful for Sara and the amazing care and love she provided to Leo while I was away. Sara is our #1 go-to anytime Leo needs to be cared for in my absence in the future. Thank you, Sara!”

“This is the second time I’ve hired Journey to take care of my kitties and she did not disappoint! She is always on time and really pays attention to all my notes, which can be a lot. She takes great pictures and always leaves notes for me after each visit.”
“Kari did a fantastic job checking up on my two cats while I was out of the country. She even took pics which I know is not an easy task with my cats…they’re either elusive or constantly moving. I wouldn’t hesitate to ask Kari for her services again in the future.”
“What a blessing Gregory has been to us and our kitties. You can be sure that this is the person we will ask for the next time we go out of town, for he dealt with having multiple kitties to care for beautifully. We had never used Rover before, and had a terrible experience with someone in the neighborhood just not showing up to take care of our kitties, so getting the updates, the pictures, was true piece of mind. He even alerted us to an issue we had with our irrigation system, outdoors! Amazing.”

I currently work at a veterinary office and have over two years of hands-on experience as a kennel technician, so I’m confident caring for cats of all temperaments, including shy, senior, and special-needs kitties.

Whether your cat wants playtime, treats, or quiet companionship, I always move at their pace. You’ll receive detailed updates and photos every visit so you can relax knowing your cat is in knowledgeable, loving hands.
“As our consistent sitter, Jeanette is mindful and patience with my two cats and their different personalities. She makes sure to give each attention and care in the way they need!”
“Huntter is absolutely fantastic!!! He came over before the visit to walk through everything and meet the kitties. He is very smart and easy to talk to, and picked up on all of our routines and instructions very easily. When it came time for the trip, Huntter was incredibly punctual and communicative. He sent pics, took amazing care of our cats, and also some various other things our house needed while we were gone for a week. We came home to everything looking perfect, and most importantly, two very happy healthy kitties! We HIGHLY recommend Huntter and we are so thankful for the wonderful care for Peach and Ripple!”
“Sydney was great with our cat, he was happy and well cared for while we were away. Also good communication during visits so we knew he was doing well. Happy to recommend her to anyone!”
“Kearsten took AMAZING care of both of our cats. She provided consistent and thorough communication, as well as documentation of her visits. She made sure to note anything of concern regarding the cats and their health, and did a wonderful job with their medication administration every day. We will absolutely be using her again!”
“Nicole was wonderful. She cared for our kitties so well even though they were so shy. I loved being able to see the updates she sent too, and she had such great communication. I would love to book with Nicole again if our availabilities line up.”

“Sara is amazing with Leo! He is so happy when he gets to go to her house and I always know he is well taken care of and has a blast. Will definitely keep asking Sara to hang with my boy!”
“Dominique was wonderful! Our sitter fell through at the last minute and she took great care of our boy for the day with updates throughout! Would leave him with her again for daycare! 😊”
“George and his family took excellent care of my dog, Fennec. I got regular updates and a couple of photos, so I never worried. My nervous boy, Fenn, settled in easily with George and the kids. I will definitely take Fenn there again. I highly recommend!”
“Bruno had a blast hanging out with Justin for the day! He comes home tired and happy. After he dropped Bruno off, Bruno sat at the gate wondering where his friends went! Justin is amazing- stop looking for another sitter because you’ve found The One!”
“Would definitely be a repeat customer of Tatiana’s! She menu was accommodating, friendly, great location, and better yet our dog loved her and her sweet dog, Kairo!”
“Angela was a lifesaver! We spent a week in Utah skiing with family, and Angela helped us out with some last minute doggy daycare and boarding. She has a lovely family with 3 kids and 2 dogs, and combined, they gave our 5-month-old puppy so much love, attention, and playtime. Our puppy is normally pretty shy and can take some time to acclimate to new people, dogs, and situations, but our worries completely disappeared when we saw how comfortable and happy she was when we picked her up after the first day of daycare. Thank you Angela for coming to our rescue at the last minute and 1) accepting Maya into your family for the week and 2) allowing my family to enjoy ourselves on the slopes. We will definitely book with you again the next time we're visiting Utah!”

Thank you Jen and your family for all the love and care you shared with Luna.”

About: To address the gap in pet care; I stopped using Rover after I had my son in 2017. I started up again when he was a little older then moved to Mexico in 2019 and was there when I had my daughter. When I moved back to the states I kept them in school in Mexico and the daily drive to and from Tijuana. Made it so I wasn't comfortable taking in pets as I wouldnt be able to provide the care I strive for. I am now homeschooling them so no more daily crossings into Tijuana and after losing one of my own beloved pets have made my way back to Rover, now in 2023. I grew up with dogs from Pitbulls to Jacks, I currently own a Lab mix, a Boxer and cats. I have also had cats for those mixed family homes and am comfortable providing medication to pets if needed. I have a little GPS device. It's meant to find my phone buy I have used it on my dog for outings and will more than happily use it for your pooch for extra protection. I received my dog training certificate from Animal Behavior College and have continued learning through continued education, shadowing, and real life experience. I treat your fur babies as my own and am constantly expanding my knowledge of dogs. You can bet your fur baby will be well taken care of and loved while you are away. I have a very flexible schedule and homeschool my 3 and 5 year olds. I have the liberty to provide those constant outings, cuddling and loving for your pets. I ensure the safety of pets in my care with baby/pet gates and a brand new latch on my back gate. I always walking on leash and never off. I do have an etended 30 ft. lead and harness as well as a stake for playing fetch out in open areas. I do try to keep to as close a schedule with your pet as they have at home.

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their normal routine consistent so they feel comfortable and secure. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, walk routines, medications if needed, and making sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I’m very responsible, respectful of people’s homes, and attentive to safety during walks and visits. I also like to send updates and photos so owners can feel reassured while they’re away.

“Tish was amazing with Bruno. Definitely felt like he was on vacation as we were:) he loved playing with their dogs in their backyard! Tish was super kind taking him for walks and hikes. She clearly loves dogs and all animals and we felt super confident leaving him with her. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”
“Christina and Brent are superb! They treat your fur-baby like their own. They took excellent care of my chocolate lab Harlie. I was nervous leaving her for 8 nights while on vacation, but they spoiled her rotten. Christina is great about sending pictures and updates. It was obvious by the pictures that Harlie was being well taken care of and getting lots of love and attention! Thank you Christina and Brent for taking such good care of Harlie! I highly recommend them! You can enjoy your vacation knowing that your fur-baby is being well cared for!”
“My dog had the best time here! They took him on many walks, and he loved sunbathing in the backyard and chasing squirrels. He was so tired when I picked him up which is always a sign he had a blast!”
“We are so grateful to have found Echo to watch our dog while we were out of town! Echo kept us updated on all the fun our dog was having, with pictures and text messages. Echo and her family played with our dog, took her for walks and spent time with her. The communication between us was perfect and she was so flexible with scheduling. And so friendly too! I highly recommend her.”
“I recently moved here and didn’t know anyone to leave my dog with. George and his mom were super welcoming and flexible. I am grateful to have somewhere I feel comfortable leaving him again, and I know he had a great time!”
“Just took our new 2 year old for the first time. Jaime has been watching our 10 year of dog for almost a year now. Both love going to her place. Always love the updates daily to see how much fun they have”
“Crista was super communicative and I wasn’t concerned about my dog once while we were gone. I felt confident that my pup was safe and as comfortable as she could be in Crista’s care. We will for sure use her again! Thank you, Crista!!”
“Georgie enjoyed a lot with Kayley and her family. They treated her as their own pack member and shared a bunch of pictures of them having fun every day. Thank you!”
“Rachel is a great sitter. I left my pup with her on two occasions - once for a weekend and another for an 8 day trip. She did an amazing job with her and I could tell my dog had a great time. She sends daily updates and photos which is greatly appreciated. More importantly Rachel is super understanding and was able to be flexible with me when my return flight was delayed and cancelled. I will definitely keep using her as my sitter anytime we go out of town - 10/10 would recommend!”
“Thank you give Joseph 10 Stars I would maybe I could give him two separate reviews and that would add up to 10 Stars. He kept me up to date with videos and photos. My Basset Hound didn't even want to leave. Having Joseph's services available to me really help me out and is going to help me out in the near future. I can't give you enough thanks Joseph!”
“Stephanie took GREAT care of our two pups, and it gave us peace of mind to know that they were in such good and caring hands while we were away for a full week. Great communication, great caregiving, happy pups -- highly recommend!”
“My dog just got back from Brooke’s and was the happiest I have seen him ever after boarding. She was super thorough and provided the best updates. Will definitely be using her again as I trust she will take good care of kota!”
“Sara is the best! I recently left my sweet boy Leo with Sara while I traveled across the country for over a week. Due to flight delays and massive storm my trip was extended and I was delayed getting home. Sara gladly kept Leo longer and made sure I received updates and photos while I was away and missing my pup. I’m so grateful for Sara and the amazing care and love she provided to Leo while I was away. Sara is our #1 go-to anytime Leo needs to be cared for in my absence in the future. Thank you, Sara!”
“Dominique and her family welcomed our two dogs with open and loving arms. The dogs clearly had a great time. Great communication. Lots of photos and lots of walks. We really appreciate it!”
“Kristen was wonderful! I was a little hesitant to use Rover, but I am so glad that I listened to some fellow dog moms about using it. I came across Kristen’s profile and noticed someone I knew who left a review which made me feel better. I did a meet and greet with Kristen prior to our booking and it was very reassuring. She is kind and very welcoming. We have boarded Peaches in the past at a kennel, but our experience with boarding facilities have not been great. I am so glad we tried something new because when we picked Peaches up it was like night and day in comparison to previous stays at the kennel for boarding. She looked like the happiest girl with Kristen. Also, Kristen sent us some photos while we were away and that made us so happy. I couldn’t be more pleased. Book a service with Kristen because you won’t regret it. :)”
“Avery took care of Mortimer. A dog that is stand offish… he took to Avery immediately!! I couldn’t be any happier and thrilled that we and Mo have a Rover friend we trust so much!!!”
“Tatiana was great at proving multiple updates with pictures & video of her taking Athena out to play frisbee & ball…this is very much appreciated when I’m traveling out of town so I loved the updates. I also really liked that Athena wasn’t rushing to get in my truck & get home as she so often did at a large pet boarding place. That is very telling, we will be using Tatiana again mect time I have to go out of town as I’m very pleased with everything.”
