Qi and her daughters were great! They took care of Rexie, a siberian husky, as if he was their own. Rexie came back happy and tired from their walk which what I needed. Qi was also a great and fast communicator. I had to move our walk time to 1 hour later due to a forgotten doc’s apt and Qi was flexible and kind enough to push the walk and meet my schedule on a short notice. I enjoyed my interaction with her and recommend her to anybody with a high energy dog!

About: I have a 6-year-old petite female golden retriever (55lb) who is playful and friendly. I provide a safe and clean environment at home - my dog has allergy to dust mite so I vacuum everyday. I am a homemaker with one dog and no child. I have cared for my dog who's been through TPLO surgery in 2023 and MCT surgery in 2024 and have adequate pet care experience. For new client we always start with daycare, and then overnight boarding before any long-term boarding. We take one dog at a time. We've started Rover since Nov 2023 and we have hosted 18 dogs for a total of 173 days in the first year. One dog stayed for a cumulative 50 days over 4 separate visits, while another came 9 times, staying a total of 37 days in one year. Please take a minute to read all the information I provided below to see if our home fits your need. Especially "Information I would like to know about your pet" Thank you and we look forward to meeting you! In my role as a housewife with no kid and a dog as the only child, I have the privilege of having ample time to devote to my beloved ones. As a dedicated pet owner, I prioritize the well-being and happiness of my furry companions, and I ensure that their needs are met consistently. I create a safe and comfortable environment for the dog I look after. I start by ensuring that my space is pet-friendly, removing any potential hazards, and providing designated areas for eating, drinking, and resting. I maintain a daily routine that includes feeding pets at specific times and taking them for regular walks and playtime. There is a fenced dog park in our neighborhood that I can bring the dogs to everyday. I provide plenty of love, attention, and cuddles to make them feel at home. I follow any special dietary requirements or medications as per the owner's instructions and ensure that fresh water is always available. Regular grooming and hygiene care are part of my routine.

About: Saturday Grace has been an avid cat-lover all their life. They currently live with mostly senior cats and have lots of experience with subcutaneous fluids, medication, and general senior cuddling. But fear not! Saturday has also fostered many kittens, including those abandoned by their mamas and in need of bottle feeding. Saturday is an all ages cat-carer. Saturday has recently discovered their love of dogs as well. They love providing care, short walks, and lots and lots of snuggles to their canine friends. Saturday does best with small and medium dogs. They only take large dogs if they don't need walks. When they are not entirely absorbed by pet-cuddles, Saturday can be found reading, writing, or attempting not to kill their garden. As a full-time pet sitter, your fur babies are the focus of my day. I'm available for drop-in visits either morning (6am-noon), afternoon (noon-5pm), or evening (5pm-10pm). If I'm house sitting for your pets, we'll come up with an agreed upon schedule for when they need me home. I appreciate being able to care for pets in their own environments where they feel safe. I will respect your home just as if it were my own. At our meet and greet will discuss any house care (ie: mail or plant watering) as well as any house rules (ie: Miffie isn't allowed in the office). We will also discuss sleeping arrangements, if that applies.

About: (Will also watch dogs in the 20s lb. range). Being a stay at home mom with four children (ages range from 15-7), your dog will get the attention s/he needs. Your dog will have access to a very open and spacious area for frequent walks, and we are runners so we will even run with your dog if that's what they love! We have taken care of friends' dogs when they go on vacation and my husband grew up having pet dogs. The children especially love animals and will spend time playing with and caring for your dog. We live in a quiet neighborhood, so your dog will also have a relaxing place to be if s/he is more of a laid back type. The neighborhood also has other dogs, so if your dog is the social type, there are plenty of friends around! I am available to care for your dog throughout the day! I always offer a walk first thing in the morning, throughout the day, and right before bedtime. I have many return clients who entrust us with caring for their animals! I have a loving environment where your pet will receive lots of love and attention.

Kelly did an awesome job with my dog. My dog has a lot of energy and have started leaving him home instead of doggy daycare. I really wanted him to get a nice long walk in during the half hour visit. Kelly would walk him a mile during this time and follows all my instructions. She is patient with my requests and takes photos of her visit. I’ll be continuing to use Kelly every day I work, as long as she is available. Thank you Kelly.

She works from home full-time, so your dog will always have someone around. We both have experience administering medications and are trained in dog first aid to ensure your pup’s safety and well-being at all times. I look forward to giving your dog a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable experience while you're away!

On the days I'm at work, my wife is here to provide companionship and attention to your pup. Whether it’s midday potty breaks, playtime, or simply relaxing, there will always be someone around to care for your dog. This flexible schedule allows me to provide a balanced and attentive environment for your pet while you're away! At my home, I treat every pet as if they were my own. For safety and comfort, we crate all dogs during meal times and at night to ensure they have a secure, quiet space to rest. Water is always available to them, and I make sure to give regular bathroom breaks every few hours, so they feel comfortable and well-cared for. I prioritize each pet’s well-being and strive to create a safe, cozy environment where they can relax and enjoy their time with us.

About: I’ve had the joy of caring for pets of all shapes, sizes, and fluff levels — from bouncy Corgis and charming Shih Tzus to elegant British Shorthairs, cuddly Ragdolls, and my own quirky Devon Rex. With over two years of hands-on care for my Devon Rex and plenty of experience looking after friends’ pets, I know how to adapt to each personality — whether it’s a playful pup who loves strolls, a gentle cat who prefers quiet cuddles, or a little diva who demands both! I’m always excited to meet new furry friends and make them feel happy, safe, and totally spoiled — because every pet deserves a buddy who understands them. I’m available on weekdays between 11:00 AM and 3:00 PM — the perfect time for midday walks, play sessions, and drop-in visits. Whether your pet needs a potty break, some exercise, or a little extra love while you’re out, I’m happy to help keep their tail wagging (or purr motor running) until you get home. I keep your pets safe, happy, and comfortable in their own home. I follow all your instructions, secure doors and gates, use leashes outdoors, and maintain a clean, cozy environment. You can relax knowing your furry friends are in caring, reliable hands.

About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life — from barnyard pets to beloved family cats and dogs — and I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member with someone new. As a proud pet parent to a playful Frenchie and a sweet rescue cat, I know firsthand the love, patience, and consistency pets need to feel safe and happy. I’m currently taking a break from the corporate world, which means your pet gets my full attention, a flexible schedule, and prompt communication. Whether it’s walks, cuddles, or special-care routines, I treat every animal as if they were my own. One of my favorite parts of pet sitting is capturing their personality with photo and video updates so you can see how much fun they’re having. Your peace of mind — and your pet’s comfort and well-being — are always my top priorities. I look forward to meeting you and your furry companion soon! I’m currently taking a break from the corporate world, giving me the flexibility to bring joy and companionship to your pet’s day. I pride myself on being attentive, detail-oriented, and fully present to meet their needs. Whether your pet requires special care or just some extra love and attention, their happiness and well-being are always my top priorities. I look forward to meeting you and your furry companion soon!

Son is an incredibly friendly and kind human being. We loved having him over for Joy’s walks. He goes above and beyond what’s requested of him. He comes fully prepared with leash and poop bags and happily walks him for extra 15-30 mins without asking for anything in return. We highly highly recommend him and would continue to contact him for all our future needs.

She offered a meet and greet and ensured she was familiar with unlocking and locking the door and about what I needed her to do for Macho. She sent me an update at the end of her visit and assured me I didn't need to rush to respond immediately. She spent more time than she had to and I greatly appreciate it.
