“There are some great dog sitters, and some of them also happen to be genuinely great people. That’s how we feel about Katie and Jason. Not only did they love our dog Archie and care for him like he was their own, they kept this nervous dog mama leaving her pup for the first time informed, reassured, and entertained with the frequent updates, photos and videos sharing all the fun and love Archie was having. We cannot thank Katie and Jason enough for not only being excellent caregivers, but also being exceptional humans. They are DEFINITELY our go-to from now on for any future trips we have to take without our Archie!”

“They were great sitters with a lot of care and attention to Nina. She needs a lot of play and often ignores her food so I appreciated them tending to her needs e.g making her food tastier with fish oil and letting her be her energetic self in their back yard with the other pups.”

“Felt very reassured during the entire booking. I received constant updates and pictures of my dog while I was gone. She always asked questions when unsure and was very flexible to make sure my dog got the care he needed. Very fast at responding. Overall great experience.”

“I think this was the 4th time Tilly has stayed with Diana and Michael. They are so friendly and responsive, and I always trust Tilly is getting taken great care of! I appreciate their photos and updates. Would absolutely keep working with them.”


“I am very thankful for Yang who took excellent care of Howie! She is very detail oriented and went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable. I could quickly tell from the photos that he was having a great time. She was patient as he adjusted to his new space and in no time, it was like Howie was on a vacation of this own ! I would definitely recommend Yang to others. We plan to use Yang again in the future.”


“Convenient drop off and pick up near SFO. Happy that Capi had a buddy to play with during his stay. Both Stephen and Maggie seem very comfortable and happy with dogs. I was confident he was in good hands. Capi seemed his happy, healthy self when we picked him up! Thanks for a smooth and worry-free stay!”

“Kiara was absolutely amazing with Jax! She was great with watching him and sending me updates on how he was doing and provided multiple pictures of him. We will definitely be using Kiara again and I highly recommend her to other dog owners☺️”


“Stephanie was easily reachable and let me know if my dog was doing ok. He did cause some trouble for her but she was super nice about it. Thank you for taking care of my dog when I was out of town!”

“Deepa and her husband treated my furry baby like family. Lots of walks, pictures, and he came home tired! I will board my dog with them again anytime.”
“Anna was wonderful with my dog! She sent pictures and videos and gave me daily updates on how she was doing. I felt totally at ease while I was away. Would absolutely book again.”

“Ana was amazing! She gave us the best daily updates with pictures and info on the highlights of their day. She had lots of pictures of our dog on walks with her, and it seemed like our dog even got to the point of playing with her cat by the end! Ana was a kind and attentive dog sitter, and we will definitely be using her again!!”

About: I have an extremely flexible schedule (available during “work hours”/ weekdays). I grew up with small dogs and currently have a Doberman now. So I have experience caring for both large and small breeds. Since my Doberman is a working breed, we’ve attended many training classes over the last 3 years. My doberman is extremely friendly and he gets along with all other dogs. He can be energetic outside but also super chill and calm at home. When you book any services with me, you can expect fast communication and lots of updates with pictures and videos! I can’t wait to meet your furbabies! Majority of the time I’ll be doing work on my laptop remotely on a flexible schedule. I sill have plenty of time to bring your pups on walks. I wfh all weekdays so I will be able yo watch your dog and let them out every 2-4 hours. My bf also wfh so there will be a second pair of eyes to ensure the pups safety!
“Martina was great! She followed up to everything very quickly and sent pics and updates of our dog often. You can tell that she loves dogs. She even got teary eyed when giving us our dog back! We will definitely use her for future dog sitting needs!”

“This was Lexi's first time staying with Sunny and she had a great time. When I picked her up she wanted to stay and play. She received so much attention and care. I enjoyed all the pics that Sunny sent during her stay.”

“Outstanding loving present care for my high energy anxious dog. So grateful to know my precious pup was getting so much love. She was walked and engaged and pampered and had a dog to play with and I got photos of the joy! Kaitlyn is incredible.”

“Lauri was really great and took excellent care of our 8 month old puppy Benji! It was very easy to trust her with Benjis care! She made sure he had a lot of both physical and mental exercise throughout the day and shared regular updates. You can tell she is very passionate and knowledgable about pups. She goes out of her way to make sure everything is perfect and is very flexible to accommodate their needs and development. She gave us a lot of tips and tricks after spending the weekend with Benji! Highly recommend Lauri! We are excited to keep working with her!”

About: I raised and cared for my cat for 17 years, and that experience taught me something truly valuable: every animal has a unique personality, with its own needs, preferences and ways of expressing happiness. Over the years, I learned to look beyond what I thought was best for her and instead pay attention to what genuinely made her happy. This experience shaped the way I approach all animals today. I believe that truly caring for an animal begins with understanding who they are, respecting their individuality and learning to see the world through their eyes. I’m fascinated by animal psychology and love discovering how different animals think and experience the world. My long-term goal is to become a dog trainer, and I see pet sitting as a wonderful opportunity to spend more time with animals, deepen my understanding and gain valuable experience. I approach every animal with patience, curiosity and genuine care. Before welcoming a pet, I want to learn about their personality, routines, favorite activities and anything that might make them uncomfortable or anxious. My priority is for each animal to feel safe, understood and happy. As a mom, part of my day is dedicated to my children, and while they are at school I have plenty of free time that I’d love to spend caring for animals. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I genuinely enjoy the opportunity to give each pet my time, attention, and care. Before caring for a pet, I take time to learn about their routine, personality, preferences, and any special needs. I believe every animal is unique and deserves an individual approach. During drop-in visits and walks, I carefully follow the owner’s instructions, making sure the pet gets proper feeding, fresh water, exercise, playtime, and cleanup. My priority is to help each pet feel safe, comfortable, and understood. I also believe in keeping owners informed through regular updates and photos, so they can feel confident their pet is in caring hands.

Kenneth was amazing! He was able to accommodate Koda’s boarding with just one day’s notice and was so kind and flexible about it! He sent me lots of pictures and updates throughout the day, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. He made sure Koda was comfortable and showered him with plenty of toys, treats, and love! Kenneth was also great with communication, and I could tell Koda was in good hands and well taken care of. I’m so grateful for the wonderful care he provided and will definitely book with Kenneth again! Highly recommend!

We have boarded our 9-month old labradoodle puppy with Ainsley for two weekends, and she had done some drop-in visits as well. It is clear that our puppy really likes hanging out with Ainsley. Ainsley has been very responsive on Rover, organized and on time. She is very experienced with animals and has a great space for boarding, including a fenced-in yard. We will definitely board our puppy with Ainsley again!

I booked Angani last-minute when I was in a real time crunch, and I'm so glad I found her! She sends tons of photos and videos every day, so I always know Lucky is having a great time. She takes her out to play — she loves her ball — and she always comes home happy and tired. Communication is excellent, and I feel completely at ease leaving Lucky with her. Highly recommend!

Charlie was very well taken care of! Easy to drop off and pick up, flexible schedule but most importantly he was well loved while I was gone. Ana also put together the cutest photo story boards each day — this took time and effort which reflect the care she provided Charlie. I had zero worries

Kimberlin was an amazing Rover for our precious dog, Ridge. She took the time to do a meet and greet a few days before which I always appreciate. Through the entire stay she had good communication and Ridge always looked so happy and comfortable in photos. You could tell he was well taken care of in Kimberlin’s care! Easy to recommend :)

Evie and Michael did a phenomenal job taking care of our dogs Oliver and Delilah! It was our first time boarding our dogs to dog sitters. I was very nervous whether our dogs would get comfortable or feel separation anxiety before boarding. Throughout the boarding, Evie was very attentive and communicative how our dogs were doing and sending us their pictures. Our dogs bonded with them really well and I could tell Evie was taking such a good care of them. We were fully able to enjoy our trip without worrying about them at all! Thank you again so much and our dogs seem really enjoy spending time with you both. We will book again in the future!

Annie watched our dog Churro for 5 nights. She sent us multiple pictures throughout the day and looked like he was having a blast hanging out with the other dogs! He got a lot of walks and a lot quality time outside ☀️ we appreciate Annie for taking care of our Churro 🥰

Highly recommend! I received plenty of photo updates of Phillip, including some great pictures of him having fun at the park. He looked so happy and comfortable, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. I really appreciated the communication and knowing he was being well cared for. I’m so grateful and would definitely book again!

Ivana was the best! The only reason I gave her 5 stars is because 6 was not available. She went above and beyond with ensuring my puppy was properly eating and even sent pictures about a potential skin issue. She also was very generous with pictures and videos and keeping me informed on what my puppy was doing. I can't recommend her enough.

I had such a wonderful experience leaving Pichu with Valerie and Rich while I was traveling to New York. Pichu can be a little anxious and takes some time to feel comfortable with new people, so I’m always very particular about who I leave her with. Valerie and Rich were incredibly kind, patient, and attentive with her, and I felt completely reassured knowing she was in such caring hands. Valerie kept me updated while I was away, was always responsive, and most importantly, I could tell Pichu felt safe and comfortable with them. It gave me so much peace of mind during my trip. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog, which is really all you can ask for. I’m so grateful to have found Valerie and Rich and would absolutely trust them with Pichu again. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for genuinely caring, responsible people to look after their dog.
