“My shy dog did great with Marya, and she got to hang out with other dogs, which I think is good for her. Marya sent updates and pictures, so I felt comfortable my girl was in good hands.”

“Maria and Katrina and their doggy are so sweet. Our young energetic pup had a great time staying with them. She was very comfy and happy and well taken care of.”

“Randi was Awesome! I got plenty of pictures and updates on our girl Sami. She and her family treated Sami as their own, which was reflected in the cuddling pictures. I would and will try to schedule Randi for our future care needs.”

“While I was away, Sade had excellent communication with me the entire time. She sent pictures and updates regularly, which I really appreciated. She also followed the meal plan I provided perfectly and took great care of Peanut. I would definitely highly recommend Sade to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter, and I will absolutely be using her again in the very near future!”

“We are happy with our experience. John sent pictures, and seemed happy to watch our dogs. Our fur children were also happy when we arrived for pickup. Our pups also don’t usually eat away from home so we were surprised that they ate with John. We will definitely rebook. Thank-you”

About: I have taken care of dogs for as long as I remember. I have had many dogs of my own over the years who I have cared for dearly. I have taken care of puppies all the way to senior dogs. I’ll make sure to keep an eye on your fur baby and send you updates throughout the stay, so you won’t have to worry about anything. I’m home all day on Friday’s to Sunday’s. I’m currently a college student, on Mondays and Wednesdays I’m away from home for 3 hours. Tuesdays and Thursdays unfortunately I’m away for 5 hours, which means I’m not able to take any pets on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I have a fenced yard that your pet is able to use to run around in or play. I as well have two dogs of my own who are super friendly and would love to play with your pets. If needed I could crate my own pets to guarantee the safety of your pet so it can enjoy its free roaming space without worrying.

“Esther and Bill are outstanding, our dogs are always happy to see them! They are so flexible and we appreciate them. They are the only ones we contact on Rover even thou we live in San Jose.”

“Wow! Thank you so much, Yifang and Wing! Charlie has been through a lot. Before I adopted him, he had been surrendered to the shelter twice, so he gets very nervous and scared around new people. Yifang and Wing were absolute lifesavers. They were so patient with Charlie and took the time to make sure he felt safe and comfortable. They sent the cutest photos, took him on walks, and gave me so much peace of mind. The sweetest part was that by the time I got home, they really knew Charlie and his little personality. It was clear how much they cared for him. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of my boy. I highly recommend you!”

“Negin helped us out with a last minute booking and it worked out wonderfully! She is prompt and thoughtful and most importantly, took great care of our little dog! We are so grateful to have found her. Highly recommended!”

About: My name is Destiny and I grew up caring for large and small dogs and cats. I have hands-on experience raising puppies and kittens from birth through adulthood. As an adult, I continue to care for both cats and dogs, including adopted shelter cats and my own Labrador Retriever and Standard Poodle. Both of my dogs are neutered, gentle and affectionate. My Standard Poodle loves to run and play and can be wonderfully bouncy, but he's also surprisingly nurturing and likes to make sure everyone is okay. My Labrador is basically Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh—a lovely potato who is particularly drawn to wee, scrappy dogs. I actively study canine behavior and learning. I train and participate in dog sports including obedience, scent work/nose work, agility, Barn Hunt and NASDA. I'm comfortable observing canine body language, following established training and management routines, providing enrichment, and adapting my approach to the individual dog. Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy getting to know animals as individuals. I don't expect every dog or cat to immediately love me, and I don't force interaction. I believe comprehensive care starts with paying attention to what makes an animal feel safe, comfortable and understood. I work from home with a flexible schedule and control over my own hours, which gives me plenty of time to incorporate walks, play, enrichment, meals, potty breaks and companionship throughout the day. Our household is unusually quiet and relaxed. There are no children in the home, and my neighborhood is a peaceful residential area that's well suited to walks and downtime. Pets staying with me have opportunities for activity and engagement, but also plenty of time and space to settle, nap and simply relax. Because I'm home much of the day, pet care fits naturally into my routine rather than having to be squeezed in around a long commute or rigid work schedule. I believe pet care starts with understanding the *individual* animal. I take time to learn each pet's normal routine, temperament, preferences, training cues, feeding needs and anything that may make them uncomfortable or stressed. My approach is calm, patient and attentive. I don't force interactions, and I pay close attention to body language and changes in behavior. I follow owners' established routines and management instructions carefully because consistency can make being away from home much easier for a pet. My home is clean, quiet, child-free and low-stress, in a peaceful residential neighborhood. I want visiting pets to have a comfortable place where they can play and engage when they want to, but can also settle and rest without constant activity, noise or disruption. When caring for pets in their own homes, I bring the same approach: respect the animal's familiar environment, follow the household's routines carefully, communicate reliably with the owner, and leave things exactly as I found them.

“We were so pleased with our experience working with Jennifer! Our dog came back so happy and we could tell she was definitely well taken care of and loved! We were nervous to leave our dog over NYE with all of the fireworks but Jennifer did an excellent job of helping her to feel comfortable. She also provided great daily updates. So happy to have found her and will definitely look to her again for future stays.”

About: I’ve cared for puppies, dogs, cats, rats, and guinea pigs in addition to fostering dozens of kittens, especially those needing extra socialization, medical care, or other special support. I currently share my days with a small dog, two cats, and backyard chickens. I’ve also been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family for decades. I love getting to know each animal’s unique personality. Whether your pet wants a brisk walk, playful attention, quiet company, or help taking their medicine, I make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I’m calm, observant, and love getting to know each animal’s unique personality. Whether your pet wants a brisk walk, playful attention, quiet company, or help taking their medicine, I make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I specialize in dog walks and drop-in visits for dogs, cats, and small furry animals. Working from home, I have the flexibility to accommodate your pet’s schedule and needs. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. I look forward to meeting your pets and adding some extra joy to their day! I am available to visit your pet on weekday mornings and evenings, weekends, and on some holidays. Please reach out with any questions, thank you! I am happy to take care of your cats, dogs, or small animals at your home. I am available to take your dog for safe walks on-leash or spend playtime together in the backyard. Would prefer a meet and greet with your pet where we can discuss your pet's health/medication if applicable, any preferences they have, and specific schedule details.

“Dejoure was amazing. I felt comfortable leaving my puppy with her for couple days. She sent me updates and reassured me that he was fine each day. Would highly recommend.”

“Sunshine and Shannon did a great job with our anxious pup. We really appreciated the meet and greet. The drop-off and pickup were super easy. They shared notes, photos, and videos so our minds were at ease while we were trading.”

About: I am experienced with caring for all kinds of dogs. I have access to many dog parks and walk them up to 5 times a day. I adapt to the pet’s needs to give them the best care. I have a golden retriever (6 mo.) and a labradoodle (10 yrs). My golden (Sunny) is super friendly and loves to make friends! I ensure that your pet’s needs are met and they have the highest form of care. I’m a junior at the University of California, Davis. I have a flexible schedule with my course work that allows me to be fully engaged with the dogs in my care. I live in a gated community so pets can’t easily get out. I take my puppy on long walks at the Davis Arboretum and have a dog park where I live which ensures they are getting their exercise and playtime. My apartment is clean for health safety. If I am staying at the owner’s home, I will apply the owner’s directions.
