“Highly recommend! Michael, his wife, and their pup Kirby are warm and welcoming. Little Bear struggles with separation anxiety and fortunately, he adjusted quickly to their home. Likely because of the good vibes, chill environment, sweet pet parents and a level of understanding and flexibility that is much appreciated. Huge yard and conveniently located. Great sitter!!”


“Carlo was great with my pup! Very thoughtful and courteous. He was flexible with timing when it mattered most. Really came in clutch for me on a short notice work offsite. I look forward to booking with Carlo again!”


“Cuauhtemoc provided an excellent daycare service for my high-needs dog, Frodo. He was incredibly friendly and accommodating, taking the time to ensure Frodo felt comfortable. His dog, Luma, is very sweet and made a great companion for Frodo. Frodo was well cared for, and it’s clear Cuauhtemoc genuinely loves dogs. I’d be happy to bring Frodo back on a regular basis!”


“Jacques had a great time at Diana and Michael's for daycare! He was comfortable immediately at the meet and greet and sooo excited when we went back for the daycare. The family are all animal lovers and he seemed to bond very quickly (which is highly unusual) to Michael's Dad and Michael (at the meet and greet) which I still am amazed. As a rescue, he is very wary of most if not all men but not these guys! Diana sent me several pictures through out the day which was appreciated. I highly recommend them and will use the again!”


About: We’re dog lovers (currently without our own furball) and would love to care for yours. Our pet parent history: Over 18 years, we've raised puppies (black Lab and Boxer mix) and then a cool cat found us, making a party of 5. Post-trio, we rescued a middle-aged Boxer who was sweet on humans but not so much with other dogs and spent several years walking on the wild side with her before she became street-settled. We've been dog park regulars and hosted furritos of friends for slumber parties and were short-term vacation fosters. We've gently nursed our dogs through neuropathy, lung cancer, and Cushing's disease. We found great people to care for our girls on Rover and want to do the same for you! We miss being dog parents dearly and will care for your pets as if they were our own. If you happen to have dog & cat siblings, they are welcome, too! It’s summer break for one of us and the other is self-employed, so we have tons of time to dedicate to your furrito! They won’t be left alone while in our care without your permission. Your dog(s) will have access to all parts of our non-smoking home, sofa and beds included! Our dogs were free range, we do not have a crate. Please bring yours if needed. We’ll schedule a meet & greet ahead of time to make sure that you’ll both feel comfortable with us while apart and that your dog is a good match for us. Our home is 2 stories (wood floors downstairs, carpeted stairs & upstairs) with a front yard and small back patio area. We're in a safe neighborhood where we'll take daily walks.

About: I amlifelong dog lovers with over 13 years of pet care experience. I personally raised a toy poodle from 3 months old to over 10 years, giving her a happy, healthy, and loving life. My wife also shares this passion—she has two beautiful, happy dogs, Doudou and Nico, who are truly part of our family. Doudou joined her at 7 months old and is now over 13 years old, still healthy, joyful, and full of love. After Doudou had puppies, my wife lovingly raised her baby Nico from a tiny newborn to now over four years old. Together, I’ve cared for dogs through every stage of life, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors, always making sure they are healthy, well-groomed, and emotionally happy. I believe every dog deserves not only excellent care but also a loving and safe environment where they feel at home. When I look after someone’s pet, I treat them like our own—with patience, attention, and lots of cuddles. Pet care has been a natural part of our lives for over 13 years. Right now, our dogs are in China being lovingly cared for by our parents, but the same daily habits and routines are still second nature to us. I am used to structured schedules of feeding, walking, playing, and giving pets attention throughout the day. Our schedule here is very flexible, allowing us to provide care in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings as needed. Whether it’s a quick walk, playtime, or overnight care, I can easily fit pet care into our week and make sure every pet feels loved, safe, and well looked after. Safety and trust are our top priorities when caring for pets—whether in our home or in a client’s home. I create a secure, pet-friendly environment with no access to dangerous items or open doors/windows. I always supervise outdoor time, use leashes on walks, and follow each pet’s specific routine for feeding, play, and rest. I believe communication builds trust, so I send regular updates, photos, and short videos to let owners see their pets happy and safe. With over 13 years of combined pet care experience, I understand how to keep pets comfortable and stress-free, giving them the same love, patience, and attention I would give our own dogs.

About: I've been taking care of pets since I was young. Had a dog when I was in high school and recently adopted a dog about a year ago. I am patient and will make sure your dog gets the care they need. I work remotely and love spending time around animals because it just brings me great joy. I currently have a 5 y/o Jindo rescue, but I would love to watch and take care of more animals:) Depending on the service, I will not let your dog out unleashed and will read your instructions carefully to make sure your dog is well looked after. For cats, I will follow the owner’s instructions and ensure that the cat is well cared for.

“Katherine was a great sitter for my senior dog. She communicated openly with me before booking and arranged for a meet & greet. When we met, she was very thorough with her questions on how best to take care of Jean Luc. She has a very calming demeanor which is wonderful in a sitter!!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs over 50 years since childhood. As a retired doctor, I understand health and behavior well. Neighbors and friends often trust me with walking, feeding, and caring for their pets, knowing they’re in safe and loving hands. As a retired doctor, I now enjoy a peaceful life with a flexible schedule. I’m home most days and would love to spend time walking, playing, and caring for your dogs. I’m available throughout the week, including weekends and holidays. My home is quiet and pet-friendly, with a secure backyard and plenty of space. I focus on safety, comfort, and calm interaction. Your pet will have my full attention, and I can easily handle special needs or medication if required.

“I’m very happy to come across Doug. He took great care of Oliver. Dough pays attention and ask questions about Oli, which shows that he cares and have knowledge about dogs. I’m very comfortable leaving Oli with him.”


“Lauren was amazing in every way. She responded quickly to my initial request and our messages after that, she was so lovely with our Stella, and sent beautiful pictures during the day to make sure we knew our pup was doing great. Stella was happy and relaxed when we picked her up, it was obvious that she had an awesome day!”


“Anna was AMAZING! We did a meet and greet a few days before and I could instantly tell Anna was a natural with dogs and Codie would be in great hands. Anna provided a perfect amount of communication and photos throughout the day. Codie came back exhausted and clearly well loved and exercised! Highly recommend Anna for any of your dog walking/watching needs! Will be rebooking.”

Yiteng L.
“I’ve known Lawrence and his wife for many years, and I can confidently say that pets couldn’t be in better hands. Each of them has over 10 years of personal experience caring for dogs, including raising a toy poodle from 3 months old to over 10 years and lovingly caring for two beloved family dogs, Doudou and Nico. They are patient, responsible, and treat every pet like family—making sure they are healthy, happy, and safe at all times. Whenever we’re away, we always leave our dogs in their care, and they have always looked after them wonderfully. Our two little dogs absolutely adore them both, which speaks volumes about the love and comfort they provide. They are truly the kind of sitters you can trust completely, knowing your pets will be cared for just as if they were their own. We’ve been encouraging them to join Rover for a long time, and I’m so glad they’ve finally decided to take the step. Any pet parent would be lucky to have Lawrence and his wife as their sitters or dog walkers.”
