“Natalie was amazing!! She sent us so many pictures and updates on all the fun things they were doing together! Puddin was very happy to have Natalie here with her. We can't thank you enough, Natalie!! Carole, Ben and Puddin”

“Virgina, takes pet sitting to new levels of care never experienced before! Our Mini Golden Doodle (MGD), has anxiety & gets sick when we leave for vacation, especially if kenneled. We had Virginia stay at our home to care for our MGD. Under Virginia care she was a happy & exceptionally cared for! Virginia is a caring & attentive pet sitter, who provides genuine love in caring for our pet. Highly recommend Virginia!”

“This was our first experience with Rover.com and, thanks to Mallory, it was all very positive. Mallory was extremely personable and conscientious, arrived on time and paid close attention to our instructions for our dog’s needs and routine. While we were out for the evening, she texted a message and photo of our very happy Murphy.”

“Jane has taken care of my fur babies many times over the last year and they absolutely love her! She also has extensive experience working with a vet practice which is an added bonus and makes me feel confident that my pets will always be well cared for!”

“Daphne is truly the best! She's so patient, thoughtful and sweet with our sometimes challenging pup.Couldn't find a better person to look after your dog!”

“We hate to leave our babies but feel confident that they are always in the BEST care! We get frequent pics so get to see them everyday we are gone and get updates on them all.”

“Marianne was great! She arrived early so we had time to walk her through everything. She came to our hotel and watched our pup for a few hours. We felt very comfortable with her and she sent a photo of him while we were gone.”

“Melissa did an excellent job house sitting & taking care of our senior dog Fozzy. He can be particular and we came home to a happy healthy dog after a trip. She sent us many pictures of Fozzy having a great time, and he was so comfortable with her he ate well while we were gone, which is usually a challenge. We will definitely be booking Melissa again the next time we travel!”

“Jay was excellent! I booked Jay for the day since I had guests in town and needed to be gone for most of the day. Jay showed up on time, greeted the dogs immediately, and asked about anything specific he needed to do with them. He was respectful of our house and cleaned up after himself perfectly. The dogs were happy and relaxed when I got back home. I will definitely book Jay again!”

“Taylor was awesome with our 6 month old puppy. She sent pictures and updates frequently and was very responsive, kind, and friendly. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitte or walker.”

About: I have loved animals, specifically dogs, cats, and horses, since I was a little girl and have been told that I have a natural way with them, some calling me a “dog whisperer”😂. Even before my family had a dog, I would always make excuses to hang out with our neighbors golden retriever, whether it was walking him, picking up his poop, or just giving him some love. We then adopted a sweet 9-year-old chihuahua mix, Mandy, when I was 12 and had her until about February of this year. I also worked at a dog training facility in Prunedale, Stofer’s Labs, from November 2022-May 2023. Ever since I moved home from college, I have dogsat and housesat for many friends and family and would love to continue to do so because helping people and spending time with dogs are two of my favorite things! I generally work from 9-3 on weekdays and then coach girls volleyball at Stevenson from 4-5:30, so I would have plenty of time to walk dogs before and after work as well as spend lots of time with them in the evenings. I also get a lunch break so I would be able to check in on them then if necessary. My weekends are very flexible. I make sure to ask as many questions as possible to ensure that the pet (s) are well taken care of. I always make sure to follow whatever they have asked of me, and always add some extra love on top!

“We had a lot going on while Jesse was taking care of our pups. A bit of kennel cough and contractors working on the kitchen making the stove and much of the kitchen unusable. Jessie took it all in stride with a great attitude and took great care of our dogs during construction chaos.”

“Sonia was fantastic with our dog. It was a huge comfort having someone who is so experienced with veterinary medicine taking care of our older frenchie with some health issues. Highly recommend”

“Valery is such an amazing person! Our dog takes a while to warm up to people, but him and Valery were best buddies in no time! I was nervous leaving our fur baby while we traveled internationally, but Valery ensured that our pup was well taken care of! We loved receiving daily pictures and videos of our dog and hearing from our neighbors about how loving and sweet Valery was with him! I highly recommend Valery for your pet sitting needs!!!”

“Mie really loves animals of all kinds. Every time she meets a cat or a dog, she immediately makes friends with them. When she sees animals, she gets so excited about them; Canadian geese, wild, turkeys, deer, you name it she cares for their well-being. In her home, she loves grooming, her cat, brushing his hair and trimming his nails. I’ve never seen a cat so calm, than with her. I trust her with animals of mine anytime.”

“Desiree and her family were amazing with my golden retriever, Cooper! They treated him like he was part of the family. They have a great backyard so he was able to run around and get lots of exercise in. He also got along so well with their dog, Winston. My dog had so much fun he didn't wan't to leave. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Cooper. It was nice knowing that he was in excellent care while I was away. I will definitely be reaching out to Desiree again in the future!”

“My boys love Lucas! He has done both dog walking and dog sitting for us. He is responsible and easy to work with. I appreciate that he always sends me pictures of my dogs-looking happy. He”

“Carol and her sweet, well-trained other half, Annabelle, recently cared for my chi mix, Kasper, in my home. It was her first stay with me, and she treated the entire experience as though she was caring for her own home and her own pet! I got pictures and frequent updates and "reassurances" that my Kasper was safe and happy and that he got along well with Annabelle. Her professionalism and attention-to-detail with my pet and my home was simply amazing. I came home to a spotless home and a very happy Kasper. Thank you, Carol!”

“I HIGHLY recommend Deborah's pet sitting services to anyone in need of a compassionate and trustworthy caregiver for their furry family members.

Deborah has a natural way with animals and her genuine love and passion for her work shines through in everything she does. She was always prompt with her visits, provided regular updates and photos, and went above and beyond to ensure that my pets were happy, healthy, and comfortable in her care. If you want peace of mind knowing that your pets are in the best possible hands while you're away, look no further than Deborah's pet sitting services. I trust her completely and know that she will always treat my pets like her own.”
