“Peggy (Margaret) was absolutely fantastic! We had to leave our 5 month old bernedoodle puppy (Ralph) for a week and it was our first time leaving him. Ralph is in his crazy puppy stages which includes him being a land shark but Peggy was amazing. We appreciated her consistent updates with pictures. We felt so at ease being away from Ralph. We will absolutely hire Peggy again. Ralph was very well taken care of and Peggy also went above and beyond with taking care of things around the house such as cleaning up. Thank you so much Peggy for all that you did for us! Us and Ralph really appreciate it and we hope to see you soon!”

My mom is allergic to animals so I will not be able to take them to my home.

“I just used Rover for the first time and Michelle was incredible! I was out of town for 4 days and she stayed with my pup and kept him happy, healthy, and entertained. I got regular photos and updates and she made me feel so at ease about being away. I cannot recommend her enough!”

About: At my home, your dog is treated like family. My background is in education, so I’ve had the unique experience of learning to take care of dogs as well as children. I grew up with a Labrador, and currently own a 5 year old rescue male who gets along wonderfully with other dogs. I provide compassionate, one-on-one care tailored to your dog’s unique needs and behaviors. My home offers doggy socialization, playtime, and cuddles. I am attentive to every detail—ensuring a safe, loving, and stress-free experience while your dog is away from you. I work from home 3 days a week, and have flexibility to take your dog out for breaks and playtime when needed. Weekends I will be home all day! I have a fenced yard and a cozy house that has space for doggie beds or a crate if needed. My own dog has toys he’s willing to share, and the dogs have space to run around in the back.

About: With years of caring for dogs, cats, and everything in between, I’ve learned that every pet deserves more than just food and water. They deserve love, attention, and a sense of home while you’re away. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality, quirks, and routines so they feel comfortable and safe. Whether it’s extra cuddle time on the couch, long walks to burn off energy, or gentle reassurance for anxious pets, I’m here to make their day brighter. I’m currently working until 4:30pm during weekdays and am fully open on weekends. I’m happy to adapt to your scheduling needs and help your fur babies. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your instructions to the letter and keep your pet’s routine consistent so they feel secure. As a lifelong pet owner and experienced pet sitter, I’m ultra-vigilant about their safety, health, and comfort, always watching for changes in behavior, energy, or appetite. I’m also highly respectful of your space, treating your home with the same care and attention I give to your pet. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, litter scooping, or quiet companionship, my goal is to make sure your pet feels loved and your home is just as you left it.

About: Hi! Please call me Em! My first dog was a german shepherd at 10 years old. Since then, I've also lived with a black lab. I currently have a 2 year old weimaraner. I have the most experience working with older/senior dogs and administering oral medicine. I'll ensure your pet is comfortable and has its needs met! I'm currently a college student looking for work over the summer. I have plenty of free time to check in on your pets, play with them, and hang out! As long as I get specific instructions and information about your pets, habits, and behavior, they will be taken care of! I'd love to know as much as I can so I can provide the best care for your pets.

About: I’ve always had a love for animals since I was a kid. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats as if they were my own. Family and friends have entrusted me to care for their pets and I’ve given my full attention to them and their needs from playing with high energy dogs to making sure cats are comfortable and safe depending on their mood. I am currently working full time during weekdays but am available after 5pm. I do get every other Friday off and am off weekends. I am available after work for walks or during my days off. Also, for boarding I am available on Fridays and weekends. I have a fenced yard and no kids in my household. That way your pet has all the space and attention I will give him/her. I will treat them as if they are my own and to make sure they are offered the best service, I will accommodate if needed and ask owners all the preferences their pets have.

About: I love all animals, more specifically dogs! I’m a recent college grad from USC looking to make an additional income doing something I love and am good at. I have experience: Taking care of my own animals large and small. I’ve had a chocolate lab who lived to be 15 and a small terrier now who is 1 year old. I have been fostering dogs for the last year with Mutt Scouts, a foster organization in Southern California. Through this organization, I have fostered and rescued a variety of dog breeds. I have experience training, bathing, and providing love and care to several different dogs with different needs . I volunteer walking dogs at Westside German Shepherd Rescue. I trained my own dogs and worked to train my fosters as well. I currently have a very open schedule as I am in between jobs. Most days I will be very flexible on the pet care I can offer. I also am very flexible with changes or cancellations if they are needed. While I don’t have a yard, I recently moved into a pet friendly townhome that is quite large and located in a great residential neighborhood. This neighborhood is safe and good for walking dogs! Each dog will be loved, cared for, and accommodated for whatever their needs are. I have experience handling dogs that come from situations that require extra attention to detail, whether that be a dog with certain anxieties, medical, or dietary needs. My home is also quite tidy and essentially baby proofed and cleaned whenever I bring a new dog into the space. If anything specific is needed i’m positive I would be able to accommodate!
