“Valeria was absolutely amazing and the sweetest. She kept me updated throughout LD’s stay and was very responsive. I wasn’t worried about how LD was being treated while with her. When I went to pick him up he was so happy and running around, he truly had the best time. Her backyard is quite big, so LD had a lot of space to runaround and be free.”
“Emily and her dog Maple were great at taking care of my dog, Leo! He loved playing with Maple. She was also super accommodating on some scheduling changes for drop off and pickup times for boarding. Would definitely recommend using her for daycare and boarding.”
“3rd time booking with Gabrielle! She keeps us updated daily with photos and has great communication. Pick up and drop off are always smooth. Loki is excited everytime he gets to stay with her! Will definitley keep booking with Gabrielle!”
“Shannon was absolutely wonderful with Nibbles! She watched her for 9 days in her home, and I’m so happy we found her. Drop-off and pick-up were super easy, and Shannon was very thorough about asking questions beforehand so she could make sure Nibbles was comfortable and knew her routine and preferences. She took such great care of her and made sure she was happy, well-fed, comfortable, and got lots of love and attention. I could tell Nibbles was in really good hands, as I received consistent updates/pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Shannon is such a sweetheart, and I’m extremely happy with the care she gave Nibbles. I would absolutely recommend her and will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Marilyn took such good care of our pups! She sent pics and video, and they had a blast. (Even our cranky older dog haha) We were gone for 2 weeks and knew they’d be in good hands from the moment we did our meet and greet. Will definitely be bringing them back next time we need a sitter.”
“This was our first time using Rover and so glad we did. Katy watched our 1 year old goldendoodle for a week and kept us to date everyday sharing pictures or videos. Sugar also got along with her other long term boarder which was great. We have already booked Katy again to watch Sugar. We trust Katy and her family with our Sugar-doodle! Thank you, Katy!”
“Edwin was a great sitter. Mac stayed with him for nearly a week and enjoyed every bit of it. Edwin was always very responsive and his two dogs were very mellow and friendly with Mac. I hope to be using Edwin’s services often.”
“I cannot say enough good things about Vanessa! She was so sweet and loving to our senior pup and made us feel so at ease while we were away. We just moved here and don’t know anyone in the area so we felt extra grateful to find someone that loves our little pup so well. Houla even nuzzled up to Vanessa to give her a goodbye when we picked her up which is rare for her ?? We will not hesitate to reach out to Vanessa again the second we have our next plans to go out of town!”
“Yiyu was extremely accommodating with our last minute booking. She was extremely communicative with sending updates and pictures. We felt PeeWee was in GREAT hands which allowed us to have a worry and stress free time away. We will definitely be booking with Yiyu again! Thank you for taking care of our baby!”
“Angela is an amazing at caring for our skittish doggie, and she is even flexible enough to accommodate drop ins for our kitties! Can't rave enough about how good she is. She takes time to get our fur babies acclimated to things, is very patient, provides daily updates and even a "Pawgress Report" for us when the booking is complete! Simply awesome! 😃”
About: Our family loves dogs! We have taken care of dogs from friends and family, and thought it would be great to do more. Our sweet doggie Payton passed away so we don’t have any pets in our home right now. We have two young daughters (4 and 3) who grew up with our beloved Payton (a shitzu) and adore dogs. I work from home and Mark’s schedule is flexible. We are often home all day, so we can accommodate puppies to senior dogs who may need extra care and attention. We don’t have a yard, but happy to take your pup out as frequently as needed- grass is close by! We would love the chance to get to know your loved one and will treat him/her like family :) Mark and I are both home nearly all day except when one of us goes to run an errand. We can accommodate walks and potty breaks as frequently as needed. And lots of play time :) We live in a secured 2-story townhome. We have a balcony but no yard, but can take your pup outside for walks or potty breaks as often as needed. Our neighborhood is very safe.
“Maria was so sweet and communicative! She did a spectacular job watching our pup, and we will definitely contact her again for any future dog sitting needs. Thank you for taking such good care of our little love, Maria!”
“Kimberlee was AMAZING with our puppy and as a petsitter. She went above and beyond with her attention to detail and all the care she put into watching Lofi. Her space is so warm, welcoming, and cozy for both humans AND animals. We knew immediately that we're going to be repeat clients when Lofi needs a home away from home!! Our little girl got so many walks, socialization outings, and we loved seeing the pictures. Lofi came back happy, already pottied, and like she had the time of her life! Kimberlee also dropped her off on pick-up day since we are nearby and gave my husband and I extra time to unpack from our weekend trip to the desert. She is so thoughtful and we can't express enough how wonderful it is to have her to watch our pup. Thank you Kimberlee!!!!!”
“Jess and Max were GREAT! They were really good with our pup, Max, who has never been away from home for that long! They made him feel super comfortable and their communication was on point. Our pup is very timid at first and has separation anxiety, but they were both so patient with him. Definitely re-booking!”
“Sherry and Andres are the sweetest couple we’ve ever met! She took care of my pup while we were on vacation and did such a stellar job! I received photo and video updates every day, and when we picked him up, he didn’t even want to leave because he had so much fun hanging out with them and the other doggies. 🥹 I have complete trust in their care and will definitely be coming back! Highly recommend them! ❤️”
“Carmen was Amazing with our weimwarner Hazel. She sent us updates daily with pictures on their outings. She took Hazel out on numerous walks each day. Hazel seemed to enjoy herself very much. I will definitely use Carmen again. Thank you Carmen for taking such good care of Hazel. Kathy”
“Claudia was super responsive and gave us multiple updates and photos/videos per day. When one of our dogs came down with a stomach issue she was very communicative about it and she took good care of him until we returned.”
“Our dog Buster had a great time at Lacey’s. He immediately connected with her and her adorable Noosha (and even Hillary the cat!). Both Buster and I immediately felt a sense of safety and calm in her space. Looking forward to the next time!”

This was our first time using Rover and I’m soo grateful I found Jenny! Great with communication, sent plenty of super cute pictures and was so flexible. Churro felt so comfortable with her and even stuck to his normal eating and potty routine, which he typically struggles with when staying with others. It gave me so much peace of mind! Would absolutely recommend Jenny!
As always, our pets had a wonderful stay! We feel completely at ease knowing they’re in such good hands while we’re on vacation. They’re always well cared for, happy, and loved. We truly appreciate everything you do for them and wouldn’t trust anyone else! ❤️🐾
Sylwia was AWESOME! She took such great care of him and gave him plenty of cuddles and attention. We know how comfortable and happy he is with her because every time we drop him off, he heads straight into her home without even looking back at us! It gives us so much peace of mind knowing Rudy is in such loving hands. We highly recommend Sylwia!
Krissy was fantastic with June and Brea. Both of them were a bit skittish at first, but she was patient, worked through it, and they ended up having a great time together. She was super responsive and kept me well-updated the entire time. I'd happily book her again and highly recommend her to anyone.
Sherry did an excellent job taking care of our 2 year old miniature poodle. We have never left her with anyone for an extended period (2 weeks), but Sherry and her husband treated our girl like part of the family, and sent us frequent pictures and videos. I would be happy to book with them again in the future!

94% of sitters in Gardena can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Gardena home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Gardena.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Gardena sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
