“This is our third time having Mary board our cats and we’ll definitely be continuing to use her! Mary takes great care of our cats and we appreciate how much time she spends hanging out with them while they’re with her. The boarding space is beautifully set up with all the things a cat could want: big window with a cat tree for bird watching, toys, cozy spots to hide, wall mounted platforms, and much more! Mary has a ton of cat experience so we always breathe a sigh of relief when she’s watching them because we know they’re in such good hands. We highly recommend Mary if you’re looking for somewhere to board your cats!”
“5/5 🌟 Olivia was friendly and flexible from the beginning of our encounter. They took great care of our 65 lbs goldendoodle and sent us daily updates. We are so happy we’ve found a reliable dog boarder so close to home.”
“Cindy has an awesome family that took care of my boy for a weekend. She’s great with sending pictures and giving dogs all the love they need. Definitely would book again!”
“Jenna and Kristen went above and beyond in taking care of my senior dog, who is on medication for her heart and kidney illnesses. I was reassured by the daily updates they sent me about how she was doing. I know how challenging it can be to care for senior dogs, but they are truly experienced—when she didn’t eat her regular food, they made chicken and rice for her. They also took excellent care of her when she had an accident. I would highly recommend them.”
“Lai was gracious enough to accept a last minute booking and 1-day extension and is so friendly. She seemed very experienced and was immediately comfortable with my French Bulldog, Potato. Even though she had another dog at her house, she had a large pen to separate them in the living room since we didn’t have time to do a meet and greet. She was very communicative and shared a couple updates during the three day stay. Thank you Lai!”
“Arryonna was absolutely amazing!! She took great care of our wild puppy for a whole weekend. She updated me daily with pics & videos. We met ahead of time to be sure everything felt comfortable when introducing our pup to her own animals. I can’t say enough good things about our experience”
“Harper is an amazing sitter! She replied promptly and and sent us pictures/updates throughout the day. Lulu had a great time with her. We will definitely be booking with her in the future again.”
“I really appreciate Natallia watching ALL 4 of my cats. She did a fantastic job. They were spoiled and they did not want to leave her home. Natallia provided me pictures and updates of my fur babies. I had peace of mind while they were under her care. I highly recommend her.”
“Gus had a fabulous experience staying with Izzy and his family. It is obvious that Izzy loves dogs as much as we love our pups. He sent pictures and commentary to ease this helicopter mom’s nerves. Gus was happy, well fed and tired from playing. I can’t say enough good things about this stay. We will definitely bring Gus back knowing he is in such competent care.”
“Angélica was fantastic with Lula! Angélica was prompt to reply to all our messages and questions. Lula felt right at home at Angélica's place during our meet and greet. We received lots of photos and videos during Lula's stay assuring Lula was in good hands with Angélica. We would board with Angélica again!”
About: I’ve taken care of Princess for 12yrs . I grew up with a big family of pet lovers . My home for years have been the one everyone comes to on the weekend to bbq in and ofc all our furry babies are running around. I have a flexible part time job so I am free early mornings and throughout the day to go play with your pets and take them out. I also have a big home and yard if they need to come over to not stay home alone . I have a home with all fenced yard and I no longer have anymore pets , so they are free to roam around in the backyard or if they’re inside dogs they can definitely have in and out access all day to cuddle inside when they want or go get some sun and play. I’m definitely mindful on making sure you feel comfortable with me in your home if needed and would ofc go over to play and take care of your pet in the comfort of their home.
“Kilo had a great stay! Gagandeep was very attentive and made sure he was well cared for the entire time. I felt at ease knowing he was in good hands and I would definitely book again!!”
“Christina has been wonderful with my dog, Tummy. Sent couple of pictures to update me and my dog seemed comfortable. Easy to talk to and I’m definitely going to book them again.”
“We were looking for a new sitter because our usual sitter was unavailable for an upcoming trip. At the meet and greet with Robin, we were worried when Shamu barked every time she got up and walked around. It always takes time for our cautious dog to warm up to new people. Robin suggested that Shamu stay with her to make certain that they would get along. Wow, we were surprised by the glowing reports and Robin told us that Shamu was a gentleman! Robin and Daniel's loving ways won over our little dog. We are looking forward to using them again.”
“We are so glad we took our dog Thor to Shuvashna for boarding. She took good care of him. We highly recommend her. If her place was on our way to work we would bring Thor to her place because they have a big backyard and he can play with other dogs.”
“Our two little boys LOVED their time with Lea! She conveniently allowed us to use her as a "daycare" which we needed desperately and last minute. Her home is beautiful and clean. We definitely appreciated how she kept my husband and I updated with their whereabouts and shenanigans by text messaging us photos. The next time we need anyone to help watch the boys in Fremont we will definitely use her again and again! ”
“Robert was great! Appreciated flexibility on time. Loved that he sent pictures while our dog was with him. Definitely plan to utilize his services again. Thanks Robert!”
“Sameer has been such a pleasure to work with! Our dogs absolutely loved Sameer and his family. We loved all the updates and pictures. Will definitely book with him again! Thanks for everything!”

Yonkyu took such good care of my little guy, I don't think he missed me at all!! He was with her for 3 weeks and she provided daily photos andvupdates on how he was eating and adjusting. My senior dog is a really finicky eater so I was really impressed that she was able to get him to eat. Highly recommend Yonkyu, we will book again!!
Johanna is wonderful. She helped take care of my dog for the weekend. My dog Mia is quite anxious when she’s away from us but I’m glad Mia got comfortable with Johanna for the weekend. Drop off and pick up went smoothly and I’m thankful for the great care that Johanna has provided.
Thank you for taking such good care of our Bob Dog. We very much appreciated the daily photos of Bob so we could see his cute face everyday!! Olivia has a great dog friendly house and a securely fenced front and back yard where the dogs can run around. There are doggie blankets and foam stairs all around the house, so I felt comfortable that Bob would be treated like part of the family. Would DEFINITELY use again. Thank you!!!
Although I boarded my pup for a short trip, Socorro took amazing care of him. Communication was great, I received multiple photos of my goofball, and I can tell he was really happy to be there. We will definitely use her services again. Thank you so much for watching JJ!
Jianhui and Jacqueline shared daily updates and were thoughtful about the routine. Our dog can be reactive around other dogs, so they planned visits to the dog park when it was empty. They clearly love dogs. I am so glad they were available on short notice! Will book again.
Lai was so good with my old English bulldog. She was instantly comfortable with him and had good control of him. She said he did really well and I was happy with her care. She sent me updates daily and videos. He really looked like he enjoyed himself there. I would definitely recommend her and will return.
Jocelyn was great with my dog. She knew we were nervous leaving him for the first time and gave us regular updates. She even gave him a mini photoshoot with better pictures I would've taken. He looked so comfortable when I picked him up as if he had known Jocelyn forever. Thank you Jocelyn!
Cassandra is simply the best dog sitter. With daily pictures and updates. I couldn’t give her enough applause!! My senior dog took some time to settle in and Cassandra handled him with the utmost care and compassion!! Thanks again for the fantastic care you gave to Teddy.
Izzy is an excellent Rover sitter for a dog. He is very conscientious and caring with dogs. He seemed very in tune with Maki's strengths and needs. I felt comfortable knowing my dog was in the care of a very responsible and compassionate sitter. He sent me daily updates about Maki's activities, her bonding with his dog Bella and photos from their walks. Maki had such a great time staying with Izzy's family.
I travel a lot and for some years Nathaly & Charo have been the "go to" sitters for my pup. They are super consistent. and they are consistently excellent in their care of my pup and in every way regarding logistics. It's always a smooth and pleasant ride! And the pup loves. them!
