1. Andrea L.
“Baxter has stayed Andrea and her pups twice for daycare, with hopefully more days to come! Andrea has a gentle, kind spirit and seems very attuned to a dog's needs. At our meet & greet, she asked great questions about Baxter and his routines. She provided fun updates with pics a few times a day -- much appreciated!”
2. Lee J.
“It’s clear that Lee has such love for pups! My dog Buffy can be shy around other pups at first, but Lee’s positivity helped my pup settle in with ease. I’ll definitely be reaching out again in the future. Thank you, Lee!”
3. Danielle M.
“Danielle took great care of my dog! Usually my dog is very sad when I leave but she was running to meet Danielle and to get inside. She played all day with Danielle’s dog and they became fast friends. I loved all the photos and updates I received throughout the day! My dog was in safe hands, I couldn’t recommend Danielle more! I will definitely have her babysit again”
4. Kelly L.
“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!”
5. April L.
“My pup has separation anxiety and April kept me updated on his progress. She was very patient with him and gave him what he needed. Thank you again!”
6. Lilly R.
“Lilly has looked over my energetic puppy Juice before & when I was in last minute need for a sitter she was quick to step in a look after him. Lilly sent plenty of updates and most importantly Juice enjoys his time with her. Thank you once again!”
7. Christine N.
“Christine is an amazing dog sitter! Her and her partner Aimee have built a safe and fun environment for the dogs in their care. My energetic pup had a blast at daycare with some great play buddies and came home tired and happy. I would highly recommend their services and will be booking again.”
8. Latricia K.
“Latricia was able to watch my dog with an hour's notice. She was courteous, accommodating and professional. I will definitely use her services again. ”
9. Christopher M.
“Poppy was welcomed early in the morning and stayed all day to play with Milkshake. I think she felt right at home when she arrived. She didn’t hesitate to explore the house and seemed unconcerned when I left. Christopher sent pictures during her visit ( but unfortunately, unfortunately, I was out of cell phone range and didn’t see them till later).”
10. Angela H.
“Rocky had fun. Angela had a lot of knowledge to share from when she used to be a vet tech. Backyard is very big which dogs will appreciate. My pup is a heavy chewer so he can be hard to manage inside if there are any things laying around, so I need to look for other option moving forward and possibly without stairs because of his disability.”
11. Neia P.
“From Neia’s convenience being in the local Oakland community, to providing Rhonda & me with education, love, understanding and support in a last minute need of a sitter, we are so glad to have found a regular sitter in Neia giving us a GREAT first Rover experience.”
12. Irina K.
“Irina was great! My dog Lenny can be very shy and take some time to warm up to, but she took the time to make him feel comfortable and cared for. Irina was also very communicative and flexible, and sent cute picture updates of Lenny🖤”
13. Anthony A.
“Anthony was amazing with our pups! He took them on long walks and it was clear he gave them lots of love, they looked very happy in the bunches of pictures he sent along with updates of their activities. I would highly recommend Anthony to anyone!”
14. Azar H.
“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.”
15. Rachel Z.
About: Growing up with dogs, I have experience caring for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs. I have experience with senior dogs who need daily medication, as well as crate training and potty training puppies. As someone who works from home and has a flexible work schedule, I am able to give the dogs in my care my full attention as needed including often potty breaks, playtime to get some energy out, and general observation of them when they are in my home I have a very friendly 2.5 year old dog who will keep your fur baby company, many many toys, as well as the ability to take them out for longer walks to exercise their bodies and minds

17. Fuliang X.
“Fulinag was amazing with our senior Golden Retriever, Daisy! He has arthritis and needs extra attention, but he made him feel right at home. He sent us daily updates with photos and made sure he took all his medications on schedule. The enclosed yard was perfect for his gentle exercise needs. We're so grateful to have found such a caring and professional sitter.”
18. Krystle T.
“Everytime I leave for an extended time I put my trust in Krystle to watch my dog. When I come back I think my dog is always sad she has to leave Krystle's place . I think she just wants to stay there permanently. I would highly recommend your pet stay with Krystle.”
19. Aman H.
“Aman was excellent with Deuce. He came back happy, excited, and ready to play. He sent me a pic of Deuce while in his care, and gave me updates during his time there. I’d definitely book with Aman again. He was pleasant, polite, and kept me updated. Great vibes all around.”

“Catie seems very cheerful, caring and obviously like a dog person! She sent us messages and photos through the evening. We are planning to bring Mimi back to her from time to time.”
