“Thank You Marlette for checking on our doggies while we’re away. Appreciate all the pictures you sent! Thanks for being kind and patient with our furbabies!”

“Cyndi was such a big help when my husband and I got a new puppy. She came over twice a week for two weeks to help us give him lunch and provide some snuggles and play time. Cyndi does a great job of updating you with photos and a summary of the time she spent with our pets. She also provides a lot of great information and feedback if you have questions about a veterinarian or food products/toys. Overall, she did a lovely job and we will definitely be using her for future puppy needs?”

“Deborah is such a gifted pet sitter! Our scaredy cat just snuggles right up to her every time. We’ve used her many times and she is attentive, trustworthy and sends the cutest pics! It really does make our trips so much more enjoyable knowing she’s in good hands.”

Lou S.

“Priscilla was attentive and communicative! She helped provide care for my kitties and my rabbit pretty last minute and I felt very comfortable after our meet and greet. She did not hesitate to reach out with any questions so she could provide the best care and sent plenty of photo updates. After her first few drop ins she clearly had a good system down! My pets were happy and healthy when I got home after a few days so I know they had a great time with her.”

“We are so incredibly happy to have found Lisa as our new dog sitter! Our two large dogs absolutely adore her and get so excited when she arrives. We love that she is so reliable, always arriving on time, and is incredibly flexible with our schedules. What truly sets Lisa apart is her fantastic communication. She consistently sends us pictures and videos of our happy pups, which gives us so much peace of mind. We highly recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, and communicative dog walker/sitter!”

“Irina was great and took very good care of my three large dogs over Christmas weekend! She was quick to communicate and quick to accommodate when I had to last minute add another drop in visit. I would definitely book more future drop in visits with Irina!”

Taylor M.

“We are so grateful for the wonderful care our two cats received! They warmed up to her so quickly, which says a lot about how kind and attentive she was. It’s clear she spent real quality time with them — they seemed happy and comfortable when we got home. She sent us not only photos, but videos of the cats puzzling out their treats and being played with. The room was also left tidy and clean, which we really appreciated. She was absolutely awesome and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Thank you so much! Definitely a 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ experience!”

“Lauri brings a wealth of knowledge about dogs and dog training to her care. She has great insights into our little anxious/hyper pup, and he thinks she's great.”

About: i know it might sound weird.....but when i see a dog -- any dog -- my heart leaps in my chest. it's crazy! i am in love with them. When I care for your dogs I am not only feeding and walking them, I am listening to their cues, giving them love and attention, and making sure they know they are LOVED and IMPORTANT. Dogs make the world a better place. I am currently working part time, as a massage therapist, and I have plenty of time to care for your dogs and cats. I absolutely provide top notch care for their needs, as if they were my own. Being around them enriches my life! Also, as a massage therapist, I have experience providing Reiki/energy work for injured, sick, or elderly pets. They are so responsive to it, and it definitely helps to calm anxiety and stress. I have a fenced in yard, a small friendly dog who lives for social time with dogs and cats, and am happy to honor your requests as far as crating them, or having them in bed with me at night. I make sure all pets in my care know they can trust me to give them the utmost love and attention.

About: My previous dog was a border collie so I am well versed in training energetic pups who want jobs. Clients have told me that their pup comes home better behaved than when they were dropped off! I tend to garden and do alot of work in my garage so your pup will join me in those spaces as well as walks up throughout the neighborhood and at the local park to meet other pups. I often try to schedule walks with neighbor’s doggies so we can walk together to socialize both humans and canine. If you need additional references, I am more than happy to provide some from previous clients. I look forward to spending time with your buddy! Hope to see you both soon. I now have a sweet rescue puppy I fostered then adopted who loves to play. She stops at the street corner for me to say she can cross. She can do “down” at a distance and will stay until released even when she does not have me in view. I work from home so have plenty of time to interact and just be there for my girl and your pup. We love going to beach park and swimming. My yard is fenced. There is a front and back yard so they can have plenty of outside time even at home. I also live close to parks where pups can romp.

About: I have two wonderful dogs in my family Andy and Louis. They are everything to me. They are ready to welcome and make some new friends and would love to share their space with other fur babies. I am working part time from home taking care of my toddler and a fur baby named Andy. I am home all day and love taking my boy and Andy on a short walk around the neighborhood. We have quiet and friendly neighbors which is a plus. We have a fenced back yard ~800sq ft with some turfed space for the dogs to play. Like I mentioned I have another playful dog who will give a good company for your dogs as well.

About: Hi! My name is Amara and I have 4 cats! I have grown up with cats in my household since I was little. I fostered kittens and did pet sitting on Rover from 2018-2020 with my family.

About: About Me I'm a devoted dog lover who specializes in caring for reactive and anxious dogs - the ones that are often misunderstood. Working from home gives me the flexibility to provide the consistent, patient care these special dogs need. My own journey started with my 6.5-year-old lab-pit mix who taught me everything about reactivity, high prey drive, and anxiety. Though she doesn't live with me full-time (which I miss terribly!), she's shown me incredible progress over the years - she's much calmer now, can get along with other dogs with proper introductions, and mostly just wants to nap and be loved. My partner's 6-year-old standard poodle is a certified service dog who's wonderful with dogs of all temperaments and serves as a calming presence. Why I Do This Having lived with a reactive dog, I know the frustration of finding someone who truly understands your dog's needs without judgment. I want to be that person for other dog families - someone who sees past the "difficult" label to the loving dog underneath. My Approach: • I always carry high-value treats during walks to redirect and reward good behavior • I'm experienced with reactivity management and reading dog's body language • I believe in structured socialization: supervised co-existence rather than forced play, with short play sessions (15-30 minutes) followed by decompression time • I avoid dog parks to prevent overwhelming situations and maintain control • I'm comfortable with senior care and daily medication routines My Setup I prefer starting with walks to learn your dog's personality, triggers, and preferences. I take one dog at a time for boarding to ensure your pet gets my complete attention and isn't overwhelmed. My partner's gentle service dog provides a calming role model when appropriate. I plan my schedule weeks in advance, so early booking is appreciated for the best care. Working from home gives me the flexibility to be present throughout the day, which is perfect for providing consistent care and attention. I love having pets around while I work - they actually make my day more enjoyable! I do play sports some evenings, but I always plan my schedule around any pets I'm caring for. If I'm boarding a dog or have a pet sitting commitment, I make sure my evening activities don't interfere, or I'll arrange my sports schedule well in advance so there's no conflict. Your pet's routine and needs always come first. I treat every pet like they're part of my own family. My backyard is completely fenced, so dogs can play safely while I keep a close eye on them - I'm always right there with them, not just watching from a window. I love that my neighborhood is so quiet and peaceful, and we're lucky to be just a short walk from the beautiful Bay Trail, which is perfect for dogs who love longer walks or new scenery. Your pet's safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I make sure they're never left unsupervised.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 13 years, including my own special needs dog, Jimmy. We adopted him from the Humane Society, and since then, he’s been part of our family. Jimmy has required extra care due to medical and mobility issues, and through him, I’ve learned how to be patient, gentle, and attentive to every pet’s unique needs. I have hands-on experience with: Special needs and senior dogs Administering medications Building trust with shy or anxious pets Providing a calm and loving home environment Your pet will be treated like my own — with love, respect, and plenty of cuddles. Whether you're away for a day or a week, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for like family. I'm home and available most of the day, which allows me to give pets the time, attention, and care they deserve. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feedings, or just quiet companionship, I can easily adapt to your pet’s routine. Since I already care for my own dog and have experience with cats, pet care is a natural part of my daily life. I enjoy being active and love spending time with animals — they truly bring joy to my day! I care for pets in my own home or through drop-in visits — I do not stay overnight in clients’ homes. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, quiet, and loving environment with plenty of attention, walks, and playtime. I keep their routine as close to normal as possible, including feeding times and medications. For drop-in visits, I make sure your pet gets everything they need while you're away — food, fresh water, outdoor breaks, and lots of love. I’m respectful of your space and always follow your care instructions closely.
