“Excellent experience with Olga today. Our dog did not have prior dog day care experience, and he has separation anxiety after 2+ years of pandemic mostly spent with us at home. Everything went perfectly smoothly. Olga was attentive and caring. We also received some cute pictures of the day. Thank you!”

About: **Experienced Dog Lover & Safe Haven for Your Furry Family** Dogs have been central to my life - I’ve cared for 6 beloved companions over the years, mostly rescues from shelters and the streets, plus one cherished family poodle. My experience spans various breeds including two pit bulls, a border collie, a Romanian raven (street dog), and currently Apollo, our one-year-old smooth collie who’s wonderful with other dogs and actively training. **Your Dog’s Safety & Comfort Come First** Our home features a fully fenced, secure yard designed to keep dogs safe - no escape routes here! Your pup will have doggy door access so they can move freely between house and yard. We maintain an active lifestyle with daily multi-mile walks, regular dog park visits, beach trips, and hiking adventures, but we’re happy to adjust our routine to match your dog’s specific needs and energy level. **Personalized Care & Attention** I limit my care to a maximum of 2 dogs at a time to ensure each pup receives the individual attention they deserve. Having raised dogs from puppyhood through their senior years, including working with rescues who needed extra patience and care, I understand that every dog is unique. Whether your pet needs gentle encouragement, structured exercise, or just lots of love and attention, they’ll receive personalized care in our home. Your dog won’t just be watched - they’ll be genuinely cared for as part of our family. Pet care isn’t something I fit into my routine - it IS my routine. My days naturally revolve around my dogs’ needs and well-being. I start each morning with walks and feeding, and throughout the day I’m actively engaged with them whether we’re training, playing in the yard, or just spending quality time together. Evenings often include longer walks or trips to the dog park. Having cared for dogs for years, this rhythm feels completely natural to me. When I’m caring for client dogs, they simply join this established routine that already prioritizes canine happiness and health. As a homemaker, I’m available throughout the day to monitor, interact with, and respond to any needs that arise. Pet care isn’t an add-on to my life - it’s woven into the fabric of how I live. **In My Home:** Your dog will enjoy a secure, fully-fenced yard with doggy door access for indoor/outdoor freedom. I limit care to a maximum of 2 dogs to ensure individual attention and maintain a safe, escape-proof environment. Daily care includes regular feeding, fresh water, exercise tailored to your dog’s needs, and plenty of companionship. We’ll follow your pet’s routine while incorporating our active lifestyle of walks, dog parks, and outdoor adventures. Your dog sleeps indoors with access to comfortable spaces throughout the house. I provide regular updates with photos so you know how your pup is doing. Any specific instructions for feeding, medication, or behavioral needs are carefully followed. My experience with 6 dogs over the years, including rescues with special needs, has taught me to read canine body language and respond to different temperaments. **Safety is paramount** - secure fencing, dog-proofed spaces, and constant supervision ensure your pet’s well-being. Your dog will receive experienced, loving care in a safe environment designed with their comfort and security in mind.

About: Please Read Before Booking! *We have one cat and no dogs in our home. The dog in my profile photo is my family’s dog, who lives with them in OC! :) Hi there! My boyfriend and I work from home in a clean, safe, and quiet neighborhood in Menlo Park. He works in ad operations at Meta, and I'm a technical program manager at NVIDIA.

“Marivel has taken care of our dog at daycare a few times now and she is responsive, sends plenty of pictures/updates (especially the first time which we really appreciated) and our guy always comes home happy!”

“Stacey was great to work with! She was a great communicator, made pick up and drop off very easy and checked in with me throughout Bogey’s stay. My pupper seemed super comfortable and at easy with her and her dogs as well. Will definitely be working with her again :)”

Demi R.

“Silvana took incredible care of my very anxious dog. He typically has separation anxiety and takes a while to get use to a new place, but she made him feel comfortable right away. She took him on walks, took him to the park to play with another dog he felt comfortable with, and made sure I was updated throughout the day with pictures and videos. When I went to pick him up he gave her kisses goodbye :) We absolutely will re-book with Silvana. Thank you, Silvana, for taking such great care of Jackson!”

About: Current student at UC Berkeley and grew up my whole life with dogs. I’m responsible, passionate, and conscious about giving your pets the best experience. I live in a large, 3 room house with clean space, along with a huge backyard/outdoor space for your pets to explore. I live in a quiet neighborhood where walks will be pleasant and joyful. Lastly, I’m able to handle / protect your dogs during necessary situations.

I have a clean and large space. Lastly, my door is auto locked to prevent animals from running out. I also will contain your dog if situations occur outside during a walk.

“Kristal is the best! She is flexible and open to my crazy work schedule! She is full of knowledge regarding dogs and assisted me with care regarding my dog! I am grateful to her and looking forward to using her services again!”

About: I have years of hands on experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to sweet senior pups. What sets me apart is my calm, reliable approach and ability to make dogs feel safe and loved. I'm experienced with basic training and always provide personalized care. I truly treat every pet like family. I'm currently not working outside the home, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to focus on pet care. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just keeping your pup company, I’m able to give them the attention and care they need throughout the day. Pet care is a priority in my routine, and I love making it part of my everyday life. In my home, your dog will be cared for like one of the family. I have a friendly chocolate lab who loves the company of other dogs, and we have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor play. I can easily crate your dog if needed and always make sure the environment is calm, clean, and supervised. Safety and trust are my top priorities—I want both you and your pup to feel completely at ease.

“Beni is great! He sent me updates/photos, which helped put my mind at ease. My dog usually gets a bit anxious when I’m not around, but this time she seemed completely comfortable and happy upon my return. It was clear that she received plenty of love, attention, and playtime. I also appreciated how clean and tidy everything was when I came back! Would happily recommend Beni and look forward to seeing him regularly on Tuesdays!”

About: Hi, I'm Kathryn! I’m an experienced, compassionate pet sitter offering personalized care, daily dog walks, and overnight stays. I work from home full-time as a journalist, which means your pup will have constant companionship, plenty of belly rubs, and lots of love. My passion for animals runs deep—I grew up at my mom’s dog daycare, where I was immersed in dog behavior training and care from an early age. We had labs growing up, and some of my favorite memories are of taking them on long adventures in the woods. These days, my partner and I share our home with our sweet shepherd mix, Ozzy. I’ve spent the last eight years caring for dogs while I lived all over the country. This is my first time on Rover, and I’m excited to build meaningful relationships with both pets and their people. I believe pet care should be accessible—not overpriced—so I strive to offer affordable, high-quality service that gives you peace of mind. We live in a beautiful, pet-friendly apartment with a secure back courtyard and quick access to local parks for playtime and walks. Your pet will be treated like family—safe, loved, and happy while you're away. For housesitting and boarding requests, I will be joined by my own dog Ozzy. If your dog prefers not to be around a young dog, then it may not be a fit. Looking forward to connecting! As a journalist who works from home, I’m lucky to have a flexible schedule—and I love using it to give animals the attention, care, and fun they deserve. With tenderness, love, and dedicated attention, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable environment tailored to your pet’s unique needs. I can’t wait to meet your wonderful companion and make them feel right at home!

About: I’ve been taking care of animals and have had pets since I was born, and love spending time with them! I recently graduated from college and am excited to care for some cute dogs, cats, or any other animal that needs some love. I’m currently working part time, so my schedule is very flexible and I can come during the week or weekend! I am willing to discuss timing and what works best for you. I have a fenced yard and am 2 blocks from a dog park. I am also very happy to walk them or just hang with them at home.

“Manli was extremely prompt with her communication:D we had a last minute change in work schedule and she was able to accommodate both our 3yr old Rusty and 6 month old puppy Ruby! They seemed like they had a great time:)”

“Brisket had a great time with Danae, and it was so nice that she had a backyard he could sun himself in. Danae was super flexible with scheduling and we felt super confident leaving Brisket with her for the day. Would definitely recommend and book with her again!”
