“We left our frenchie puppy with Lori & Frank and couldn’t have been happier. After meeting Lori & Frank we knew he was in great hands. They are both so warm and caring and you can tell they love animals. They took amazing care of him and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.”


“Jonathan was excellent with our dog Moondust. They treated her like one of the family - she seemed so happy during her stay. I liked getting pictures and updates while we were away. We will definitely use Jonathan again. Thank you for taking such good care of our pup.”


About: I am highly experienced not only in pet sitting but in basic dog training as well. With 20 years experience in handling all dog breeds I am able to provide care for your pets specifics needs & demands. I am an attentive pet lover & will make sure your pet not only feels comfortable but safe during the time with me. I am able to administer medications as well. Your home will be treated just as well as your pet. I grew up with dogs since I can remember and have been helping my family with their dog business since I was 9 years old. I currently care for my own 3 well trained dogs, a german shepherd, cocker spaniel & a malti-poo. Each of these dogs have their own characteristics that help me understand every pet has their own unique personality and demands. I currently work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I am available for all your pets needs any day, or night, including weekends. I would prefer to care for your pet in the comfort of their own home & will treat your home as my own. I can walk or use a fenced in yard depending on your home.

About: I am a dog lover and very comfortable taking care of them. I will treat your dog or cat like he/she is my own. I am a professional who is looking to make some extra money on the side. I am trustworthy, respectful and can provide references if needed. I am looking to help people by hosting their dog(s) and/or cat(s) in my personal home while they are away! I LOVE animals and enjoy helping other people by caring for their animals while they are traveling. I am a loving and present animal caregiver. I work from home so your pet will rarely be home alone! I will welcome your pet and give him/her all the love and safety while you are away!

About: I was a veterinary technician for almost 13 years. I worked with large and small animals. I also groomed animals for 4 years. I owned and ran my grooming business out of my home in St. Helena. I am a CSR at a vet hospital in Fairfax. I need to be home to care for my mother who is having health struggles so looking for more work closer to home. I am caring for my mother at home. I have lots of free time to fit in my schedule for walks, visiting homes and checking on all kinds of pets. I am open to exotics also. My boarding prices include one large area/room that is nice and cool and has room for bedding, toys, and whatever your pet desires. This room has access to a multi-level backyard. The animals are closed inside at night. Dogs also receive one 30 minute walk out of the home a day. Extra walks will be charged at $25 per walk. Cats stay in a room separate from dogs with all their amenities and will not leave this room during their stay. If your cat is leashed trained and you require walks please let me know know and we can talk about wether it is possible. I am a retired veterinary technician. I am educated in safety and health for animals. The pets in my home are loved and cared for individually. You can go on your trips knowing your animals are safe and cared for with a vet nurse. I am also willing to come by houses and visit. I will not do over night stays, but doggies/cats/exotics are welcome to stay overnight here at my home. When you leave your pet with me you will receive multiple pictures through out your pets stay and you will have full communication from me at all times. All dogs are required to have been vaccinated with Rabies, dhp, and bordetella. Cats should be vaccinated with Rabies, fvr-cp and leukemia. All animals that acquire fleas must be on a flea product. If they are not I will provide the flea dose but you will be charged accordingly for that dose. These requirements are for the safety of the animals in my home and in my neighborhood. Thank you for understanding.

“Lillie and her family were so kind and welcoming to my pup. She sent lots of pics while we were away and was very communicative around how he was doing. She seemed genuinely affectionate with him too so I know he was not short on receiving love. Super thankful for her care ❤️”


“Highly Recommended Dog Day Care and Walking Service! I have been using Max Otávio’s dog day care and walking service for several months now, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. Max is not only professional but also incredibly caring and attentive to my dog’s needs. He provides a safe, fun, and stimulating environment for Jack during the day, ensuring that he’s well-exercised and happy when I pick him up. Max's dog walking service is equally fantastic. He tailors the walks based on Jack's energy level and preferences, always making sure he gets the right amount of exercise. It’s clear that Max truly loves animals and goes above and beyond to ensure they are well cared for. I highly recommend Max Otávio’s services to anyone looking for reliable and loving care for their pets. Jack always looks forward to spending time with him, and I have peace of mind knowing he’s in such great hands.”


“Martha was so wonderful with Maica. She understood my rescue dog’s unique mannerisms and tended to them lovingly. She was communicative, kind, and easy to work with. So appreciative of her care!”


“Mary was a great sitter! She provided regular updates & pictures and took our pup on multiple walks throughout his weekend stay. Our dog tends to be more anxious and he seemed at ease in her care :) would highly recommend and we hope to use her services again soon!”

“We were looking for a dog sitter in the area for the first time. Specifically, we didn't want a facility that locks your dog in a cage nor someone who leaves the dogs unattended for their regular work. Randi and her lovely dogs were in their cozy private house all the time, so we were happy to let our dog to stay with them in a real home environment. For 2 nights stay, Randi were keep sending me photos and even a video of my dog playing with a neighbor girl. I could tell that our dog had much more fun than she normally does with us. I was happy with this stay!”

Gallinas dog parents share their Rover experiences
Julie is such an easy going, sweet person and Milo picked up on her good energy immediately. Her home is beautiful, clean, and comfortable. She sent lots of pictures of Milo living his best life, getting belly rubs from everybody in the family. I’m so grateful we found her. Thanks!

Laura and Joseph were absolutely amazing with Pepito! They accommodated our last-minute request and were so flexible with pickup, which made everything so easy for us. We loved getting frequent photo updates during our trip (they were a definite highlight for us). Pepito came home happy, relaxed, and calm. We're so grateful for the wonderful care they provided!

Lydia is so great! I can tell Murph is very happy and relaxed at her place. She takes him on walks and her outdoor space is perfect for lounging in the sun - two of Murph’s all time favorite activities. She’s super communicative with updates and photos. I continue to use her even though she’s a bit out of the way for me because she’s been so wonderful and Murph seems so happy at her place.

Bodhi had a great time at Jessica's! Communication and drop off went easy. I appreciated the updates and pics over the weekend. I'll definitely have him stay with her again. It was a great experience for him and peace of mind for me to know he was in a good home while I was gone.
