“Wen took SUCH good care of our doggie!! She was super responsive, easy to reach, and sent us lots of updates. Our dog Millie had so much fun, we could tell that Wen is awesome with dogs of all kinds! We definitely recommend!”
“Our dog was so happy to see Nika again! Nika always takes good care of her and you can tell she really loves animals. We also were stuck at Disneyland and couldn't get out quickly due to the crowds - we felt so bad because we were almost a full hour late to picking her up. Nika was so gracious and understanding. Thank you, Nika!”
“Liz is the best sitter that our precious Munchin ever have. Liz took pictures and video of Munchie everyday, and really took care of her. It felt like Munchkin had her own vacation as well. Thank you Liz, until next time.”
“After picking up Tanuki, I could tell she had a wonderful time with Sandra and her family. Sandra did a great job making sure Tanuki was comfortable and well taken care of, and sent me updates with pictures daily. It also warms my heart that Mocha and Tanuki became fast friends! Thank you for Tanuki's fun-filled weekend!!”
“Amazing host! Needed a last minute boarding place for my cat, tootsie, and she was very accommodating. Her house was very tidy and clean, and her cat room was spacious, clean, and my cat seemed to very much enjoy the window sill and scratcher. I was very nervous about my cat staying with others but she became comfortable within time and ended up being sweet and friendly with the hosts, they were very great with cats and helped tootsie feel at home. She sent us lots of pictures, videos, and updates, even gave us a keepsake polaroid photo of her! Would definitely recommend if you need your cat to stay somewhere thats comfy and with someone who you can trust with your cat, I will definitely book with her again when I need to in the future!!”
“Twinkle is amazing with my fur baby. She is very thoughtful, caring, and conscientious of Reese's needs. She provided photo and updates daily the entire time Reese was with her. I am glad I found her due to a last minute cancelation by another Rover sitter.”
“Anna P. was the best!! She treated our puppy Bennie like part of her family. Sent videos and pictures daily. She even had a framed picture of him with his baby tooth on the frame. I would recommend Anna to all my friends and Family!”
“Tina is absolutely wonderful! I am so lucky to have found her. She did an excellent job caring for our dog Penny. Tina was so caring and made sure Penny felt safe and welcome. Penny is a picky eater and is anxious and Tina took extra care to make sure Penny was eating, drinking water, and feeling comfortable. She also sent updates, pictures, and videos throughout the day and was always very responsive. I highly recommend Tina and will definitely be asking to have Penny stay with her again in the future! We are so grateful. Thank you Tina!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats since I was 12. I genuinely care every furry friends and want to bring kindness and fun to their life. I’ve been working from home for many years. My work hours are very flexible and it gives me the time to hangout with furry friends. I enjoy walking with dogs, taking care of them and make my time together with dogs fun and relaxing. Hope I can bring happiness to my furry friends.

About: Hi! I'm Neha, and while I may be new to dog sitting professionally, I've spent the last 6 years being a full-time dog parent to my own sweet pup. Whether it's playtime, walks, feeding, or just some good company, I'll make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and at home. Let's connect - I'm excited to meet your pup! I work full-time from home, which means your pup will have plenty of attention and company throughout the day. I'm always nearby for play time, walks, and check-ins. With a fenced yard and a playful pup of my own (a 6yr old Australian Labradoodle), your dog will not feel alone or bored - they'll have a friend to help them settle in and enjoy their stay. They will have plenty of space to run, sniff, and play safely under my supervision.

Neha V.
“We have left our Boston Terrier, Theo with Neha multiple times over the last 9 years and he is so excited to spend time at hers every time! Neha is extremely caring, dependable and great with sending us updates. She has been super flexible with drop-offs and pick-ups. She always takes Theo out for strolls and he gets plenty of active play time at their spacious backyard. We are sure that Theo is in the best care, being pampered and having the best time playing with Neha and her labradoodle Hachi. If you want to be certain that your fur-baby is at their second home while you are away, then this is the place.”
