About: I believe dogs can tell when you truly care about them. I will give your dog plenty of love and attention, whether that be walks, time in the yard, time on the couch, or belly rubs. I take lots of pictures to let the owner know that their pup is having a good time in my care. I also am diligent to follow any care instructions provided to me and to create a safe and fun environment for all the pets entrusted to me. I have owned at least one dog for over 20 years, starting with the family pet as a young girl. I have always taken on the main responsibilities of caring for the family dog and now have two of my own, Nacho and Toby. My husband is a nurse and can administer medication as well. I love all breeds and am open to caring for any size pet. My husband and I have used Rover on multiple occasions for our own pets when we went out of town and have always had good experiences. I am privileged to have a yard and a schedule that allows me to take excellent care of other people's dogs as well. I am currently staying home with my kiddos and will have plenty of time to care for your fur baby as well! Our “grandpa golden” golden retriever is our only fur baby right now, and is a patient and sweet companion for any dog! We have a fenced in yard and a sweet golden retriever to keep your fur baby company and would welcome your dog into our home! We can crate your dog upon request, but usually expect your pet to enjoy our home and yard alongside our family. We will treat your baby as one of our own!

Michaela was great with our gentle giants. They typically are timid and bark at new people for a while after entering the home, but when she came in, they took so quickly to her and my most fearful and timid dog did not bark at her nonstop. He actually went up to her quicker than any other dog sitter previously. Michaela sent updates throughout the visit and kept me up to date. The dogs really seemed to like her which was such a blessing. Having 3 large dogs can be intimidating, but Michaela was at ease and did a wonderful job. I definitely would recommend her and will use her again in the future.

Erica is great and we highly recommend her. When first booking with her we did a meet and greet and explained the special handling Max our cranky 15 yr old ankle biter required along with our two other dogs and tortoises. She went out of her way to make several more visits to get Max accustomed to her, which wasn’t easy but she didn’t give up. She sent videos and pictures daily to keep us up on how things were going. I think the dogs enjoyed their time with her and she even managed to tame the beast in cranky Max. She also left the house straighten up, dishes washed and everything in order which is nice to find when you return home from a trip. She will certainly be our pet sitter of choice moving forward.

Daisy was a fantastic house and pup sitter. She was super communicative, professional, and was so great with my rambunctious Australian Shepherd. On top all the great care for my pup, she left my house in great shape- clean, tidy. Will definitely hire again.

About: Hey there! I've been in raising and training dogs for a while and had a fun doing it. I’m originally from San Diego and am home for a few months after finishing my masters degree at Columbia University. While I don't have a pup of my own right now, I'm all about providing top-notch care. I absolutely love strolling around local parks, and exploring new places! I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule, so I've got some wiggle room to hang out with your furry pal throughout the week and over the weekends. Can’t wait to meet your fur-baby– they'll be in pawsitively great hands! RE: PRICES- I totally get times are tough, so I'm all ears for working out prices. Being in grad school, I’m available all evenings, free each weekend and have several gaps throughout the week! I take walks daily before/after work and on the weekends and would love to have a furry companion! I live near a few parks but there are many other parks walking distance from here. In my clients home, I will be sure to respect their belongings and be sure to keep any safety hazards away from their pets.

I left my pups in Rachel's care for 2 weeks as I was out of town and Rachel made sure to update me every day on the dogs with photos and all! She clearly took care in their health and wellbeing as well as kept them enriched with play and walks. 10/10 would hire again

About: I have fostered Bichons thru Bichon Fur Kids Rescue in addition to previous dog sitting. I have also shown in AKC dog shows. Love dogs ! I am available 7 days a week. I prefer over-nights at my home. I am retired and have one 15 year old Bichon that loves playmates. I have a fenced yard and an unused tennis court to let the dogs run in. Walking on leash in the park is fun too.

About: I am an animal guy with experience watching many kinds of dogs and cats. I own two pugs one of which is a senior dog and the other a puppy. I have experience with breeding and raising dogs. I love big dogs and small dogs and all dogs in between. I am comfortable around deaf dogs and all dogs with special needs. I am disabled so your pet would be my only priority. I work around my wife's schedule but she only works 3 days a week. Your animal is very special and deserves to be cared for in their home environment. I can play, sit and read or watch TV with your pet. Anything you desire. Short walks for small dogs only as I am disabled, no large dog walks I'm sorry it's a physical safety concern.

About: I've had the pleasure of caring for all kinds of animals big and small. Seizure disorder, elderly, puppies, high-energy dogs are all welcome! I am able to administer medicine and follow any particular rules you'd like. Between my husband and I we both are home Monday thru Sunday. Always home with our pups and yours! No kids or cats live here. Just a husband and wife and 2 amazingly friendly dogs. We have a large property with a fenced yard all around. We plan to use an AirTag for increased safety for all our doggy guests.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid, so I have plenty of experience. I also own a 5 month old mini aussiedoodle who is great with other small/medium sized dogs. She is crate trained, sleep trained, potty trained, and leash trained. I have lots of experience with dog training and have done a lot of research on it! I work from home full time, so I will be able to give potty breaks as often as I need to. I typically take Callie (my dog) to the park 2-3x a day and out to go potty every couple hours. I care for my pets in my home by making sure I ask all of the necessary questions beforehand. I make sure they are fed, enjoy their time with me, and get all their zoomies out at the park!

Angelina is very kind and advised me every time the dogs were given their meds which is my major concern. Left the house very clean and even washed the dog food bowls. I was told her she could leave at 6pm and we would be home at 10pm but she didn’t want to leave the dog along so she left around 9pm so they would not be left alone. I will rebook her

About: I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and making them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I'm active, patient, and love going on walks, playing, or just keeping them company. I'll care for your dog the same way I would my own. Pet care is already part of my everyday life because of my own dog, Taco. He's super active, so walks and park trips are already part of my everyday routine. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs, so dog walking and drop in visits fit naturally into my schedule. I'm available weekday afternoons and anytime on weekends. I always want dogs to feel safe and comfortable around me. On walks, I pay attention to their pace, surroundings, and anything that could stress them out. In a client's home, I follow their routine and make sure their dog feels relaxed and cared for. I treat my dog like they're my own ❤️

About: I grew up on a rescue farm, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me, and I’ve truly never met one I didn’t adore. I’ll treat your dog like one of my own! I have experience fostering and dog-sitting pups of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet seniors. I’m also comfortable working with dogs who have medical needs or unique personalities, whether they’re high-energy, shy, reactive, or a little anxious in new settings. I am a dog person to my core and have loved them all! I work from home Monday - Friday, so my situation is ideal for boarding and daycare as well as shorter overnights. I enjoy being outdoors as much as I enjoy a night in, so I can be flexible depending on each dog's needs. I live in a walkable neighborhood where I only need to be away from home for short periods of time to go grocery shopping or to hit the gym. I have always had a dog (though I am currently dog-free, unfortunately), so I am naturally attuned to their schedules and needs. I live in a very dog-friendly complex in a very residential neighborhood. I have lots of experience with controlled walks, crate training, and general dog safety, including emergency care and safe/proper introductions with other dog-friendly dogs. I live alone in a very calm, peaceful environment, and am conscientious of respecting a dog's space and know the importance of maintaining a semi-normal schedule while they're in a new/unfamiliar environment.

Jared was amazing! I felt very safe leaving my sick boxer with him. Jack has cancer and I needed someone to keep him calm and give him lots of love. He was very flexible with his time, checked on jacks bandages for us and even sent some cute pics. He gave both my dogs lots of love.
