“Lee is the absolute best! Firstly she is so communicative and responsive, she makes all of the logistics so easy. Our dog is very anxious and typically very apprehensive of new environments, people and dogs - he can’t just be left with just any dog sitter - and Lee was so understanding of him and made him feel right at home. She truly understands small dogs!!”
“Ellie had a great day with Danielle and Joel! They were very active with her and gave her plenty of outdoor time which we so appreciate! Our pup came home happy and sleepy from her day of play.”
“Kelly was kind enough to accept a last minute request to watch our 4 month old puppy. Our little Kasha had a great time. We enjoyed pictures throughout the day of her playing and socializing with the other dogs. She came happy and tired :) Thank you!”
“Lily had a nice visit with Renae, her boyfriend, and their sweet dog, Kimchi. I appreciated how patient Renae was with Lily's appetite issues due to chronic kidney disease. I feel comfortable leaving Lily in her care.”
“Aman was very nice and Lucy appeared to really like him as well. He was very flexible for my last minute request. He did send pictures and updates of her stay with him. I will definitely request his service in the future.”
“Ashley helped us out in a pinch and exceeded our expectations! She cared for our dog and quickly helped acclimate our anxious dog. We’ll definitely be asking Ashley for services in the future! Thanks for loving our pup like your own :)”
“We had a last minute cancellation and had to adjust our plans on the fly. Lilly was happy to accommodate my nervous pup and help her feel comfortable for the day.”
About: As a dedicated and experienced pet sitter, I am passionate about providing the best care possible for all types of pups. As a specialized pet sitter for bully breeds and small dogs, I understand the unique needs and quirks of these adorable dogs. With years of experience and a deep love for all things pup, I am committed to providing the highest level of care and attention to your furry friend. Everything from numerous short walks and playtime (temperature permitting) to feeding and medication administration, you can trust me to provide reliable and compassionate care for your dog. I am dedicated to ensuring your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away. My home has ramps to access all furniture and gates to prevent pups from running up and down stairs to protect their spines and potential IVDD flare ups. Our morning starts off with a walk around the neighborhood, then it’s breakfast time which means training and play with positive reinforcement! Your pup then has playtime with toys and with my dog Penelope if they are up for it or can snooze away. We then take a quick walk during lunch to stretch our legs and say hi to our friends at Rocky’s. After work we love to be in nature and hit the trails or parks to get some steps in! After dinner I love nothing more than to cuddle with the pups on my couch before bed! We have an outdoor deck that the dogs always have access to. Mostly serves as a sunbathing lounge 😎. The deck is also equipped with grass patches for easy potty breaks. Your pup with have the company of my dog, Penelope. She is a playful and well behaved French bulldog. I have a robust routine for her to keep her healthy and prevent her from being affected from her predisposed IVDD. I can easily incorporate any special needs or request that your day may need.
“Finn had a great time with Vanessa. She’s very kind and easy to communicate with, and Finn appreciates her great yard. Finn had a great time with Vanessa’s dog Robin. We will definitely book again!”
About: I’m a Fear Free Certified Professional, currently studying animal behavior. I’ve been running my own home based doggy daycare and boarding house for four years. My care is crate-free (unless that's what your pup's preferred at-home routine is,) with regular group outings to trails and the beach. I live in a two level home where the entire downstairs and fenced backyard are just for the dogs! It’s colorfully set up as the coolest doggie social club, but the pups are welcome throughout both levels of the home. They are never forcibly isolated and almost always prefer to be close to wherever I am. I keep my client list small and personal—almost all of my dogs have been with me for years. I don’t aim to pack the house; I aim to give the best experience possible for every dog and human involved. Even when clients start as one-offs, they usually stick around—because I strive to be a resource for dogs and their families. That’s why I call this place a home away from home. If you're interested, I invite you to come by for a meet and greet—see the space, meet me, and let me meet your little one. I look forward to being your dog’s new best friend! Canine care is my daily life. The dogs are with me throughout the day—whether we’re in the yard, around the house, or out on a trail. I structure my routine around their needs, with group outings, downtime, and a consistent rhythm. If my personal life calls me away, I have an amazing assistant Alaina who steps in. She also co-runs the daycare! I focus on keeping things consistent, calm, fun, and full of bonding—play, rest, outdoor time, and enrichment are all part of the daily rhythm. Outside of daycare hours, the space functions as our home too, so dogs experience a relaxed, real-life environment, not a facility. I send updates, pictures, and videos throughout the day.
About: I grew up with 3 dachshunds and pet sat for many years during college. I've also had 2 cats during college that have since passed away. I've worked a summer on a goat farm, fed chickens, and watched pet doves. I have a good presence with animals and people. I am a freelancer and am at home for the majority of the day. I can bring your dog with me to the park and running errands. Sometimes I'm out on client meetings here and there, but am always close to home. We are at the Vespr apartment building which are a dogs haven. Minutes from the lake for morning walks, with a built in doggy spa and run for evening potty breaks. Big windows with sunshine spots for sun soaking naps and filtered water for tasty sips.
“Schatze loves Alexandra!!!! Between the walks on the lake, the pet friend she gets to play with, and all the love, my dog gets more and more excited each time i drop her off.”
“Azar was great with the coqui! She’s so nice and easy to coordinate with. We met beforehand and it was clear she loves dogs, so I was comfortable with her caring for coqui. She sent some pics of him couch lounging and took him on a bunch of walks. I would definitely have him hang with her again.”
“Anchisa kept my dog Walter for doggy day care on my long work days. I am completely pleased and so happy we found her! From time of booking throughout his whole stay her communication is excellent with updates and pics! He is no longer nervous when I get ready for work since he knows he will be seeing her. I would trust her completely for boarding if I leave town as well. I am so grateful we found you!”
About: I dedicate in creating a bond of trust and affection filled with love and patience. I provide a safe and enjoyable environment for your pets. I enjoy the outdoors and being around pets. They bring me such joy and comfort and I want to be a helping hand to owners I’m pet friendly and have lots of patience. I create a bond to enable trust for it to lead to an enjoyable and exciting time.
“Jessie is a great dog sitter! She is communicative, sent great picture updates and even took my energetic 1 yr old pup on a long hike to tire him out. I would definitely book with her again.”
About: Hi there! I'm a passionate animal lover with a soft spot for both dogs and cats, and I’m here to make sure your furry family members feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. Whether your pet is a cuddle bug or prefers space and independence, I respect their personality and give them the care they’re most comfortable with. I’ve raised and trained my own pup, so I understand how important consistency is, especially when it comes to reinforcing training. I’ve also volunteered as a dog walker at the local animal shelter and currently share my home with a sweet senior dog who gets her teeth brushed daily (yes, really!). When it comes to cats, I’ve fostered for years and have hands-on experience with everything from bottle feeding kittens to administering meds—even IVs. I’ve also helped out at mobile adoption events, making sure the cats were cozy and stress-free, and was the go-to person for nail trims. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I take that seriously. I’m committed to giving your pets the same love and attention I’d want for my own. Let’s chat—I’d love to meet you and your pets! I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I’m available for early morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits or walks. Your pets will be a priority. My partner, Juan, our dog and I live in a cozy one-bedroom condo. Visiting dogs are welcome to hang out on the couch/bed (as long as they’re house-trained), and I also have a medium-sized crate (fits pets up to 20 lbs) if your dog prefers a comfy crate to rest in.

Aimee E.
“My 4 year old Aussiedoodle Ruby has been doing daycare and boarding with Aimee for over 2 years. I am so thankful I found her. I'm very protective of my dog and Aimee has become a second parent! Her family has welcomed ruby into their home and ruby is completely in love with each family member. I wanted a daycare that was not corporate or in a warehouse setting where dogs don't go outside. At Aimee's, they go on outings almost every day or hang out in the water park she's built in the backyard just for them! I get photos while I'm sitting at my work desk and know Ruby is living her best life. Aimee is also learning about animal behavior and has helped Ruby break some tough habits that I couldn't train out of her on my own . She has also been supportive through some scary health situations with ruby and I trust her completely with Ruby's well-being. Sometimes I've considered moving to S.F. to be closer to work, but I know I'd never find another Aimee, so it's out of the question. Can't recommend her highly enough!”
Essie L.

She also sent me pics, which I was really grateful for because it’s stressful not knowing how your pet is doing. You can trust her with your pet. She loves animals and it shows in her thoughtfulness. I would recommend Angela!”

Emily is a fantastic dog sitter! She watched my pup overnight, kept me updated with photos and messages, and made sure Roxy felt right at home. Her dog, Kibli, is super sweet and was such a fun (and gentle!) playmate, even though he’s much bigger than Roxy. I found Emily to be completely trustworthy and responsible, and it’s clear she genuinely enjoyed spending time with my dog. Roxy came home happy, well cared for, and tuckered out from all the playtime—I couldn’t ask for more!
I am extremely protective of my fur baby and thus picky when it comes to who I trust him with! I was so relieved when I found Jeremy this summer before starting back to teaching. I have peace of mind now because I know Jeremy is giving my dog Teddy great care and attention. Jeremy is a kind, thoughtful and positive person and also professional. Teddy is a smart dog who needs stimulation and he gets access to a bunch of toys which he picks through and chooses from! He also gets good work outs on his walks. He comes home tired and happy! I highly recommend Jeremy.
I highly recommend Paula for your dog care needs. As a registered nurse and neurotic dog mom, I’m very particular about who I will leave my dogs with. Both my babies have allergies with special food for each, need sunscreen and have behavioral quirks as they are brothers from the same litter. Paula has been great with me and my dogs- something I cannot say about every dog sitter on Rover. With my unpredictable schedule she has been very understanding of cancellations and time changes. They are so happy when they get to her place and tired and well stimulated when I pick them up. Thank you Paula! I am so grateful!
Lilly provided great care and comfort to my pet during his stay with her. She asked for all the details about my pet and his preferences, she also made every accomodation to ensure he had a safe and comfortable stay. She sent us photo updates and communicated often with great and detailed updates. Thank you Lilly, I felt very comfortable leaving my fur baby with you
Kenneth cared for our Rottweiler mix, Tahoe, on a last minute request! He was very knowledge and we instantly knew we could trust him with our rescue. He clearly understands dogs and loves them. He sent us updates and Tahoe enjoyed his time out in the patio & getting to know Maze. Reliable and truly caring!
Chanakarn and Jakree had been sitting our dog Socks for a couple of years now. We’re happy with their service. They are always around which is assuring given that our dog has separation anxiety issues. They always share pictures and updates frequently throughout the boarding. Highly recommend them.
