“This was the second time my pets have stayed with Mario and Yanet and it’s always a great experience. They are very responsive and flexible and I know my pets had a great time! They provide frequent picture updates and are really helpful when dropping off and picking up pets. Both my dog and cat stayed with them for ~1 month and I knew they were in good hands. They also had everything my cat needed including a climbing tree and litter box. Will definitely rebook with them!”

“Lee and his family took great care of Tesla. Everyone in the family was very sweet with him, and we could tell they really love dogs. Their dog Rocky was friendly too, and Tesla seemed very comfortable staying with them. We really appreciate their help and would be happy to book with them again!”

“Anelys M. did a great job watching our Storm while we were on vacation. Very easy to work with . We loved the pictures and updates. We would highly recommend her.”


“My fiancé and I always know that Pita is in great hands with Daysy and her family. When we had to go out of town unexpectedly, Daysy was more than happy to watch Pita over Thanksgiving and took wonderful care of her.”

“Thank you Beatriz and Neyda for taking such good care of our dogs. They looked happy and well taken care of. We appreciated, looking forward to have your service soon.”
“Mia is the absolute best !! She was beyond capable of ensuring our peace of mind with our pup and knew exactly how to handle his specific needs. Furthermore, we had daily updates and constant communication for the week while we were away. Her home/yard is spacious and well kept and Spencer got along with her family and other dogs extremely well. He seemed to be having such a great time that we were actually worried he would not want to come back home! Thank you Mia (and family) so much for caring for Spencer as if he were your own! We will definitely be recurring customers!”

“I just wanted to take a moment to express our sincere gratitude for the wonderful care you provided to our puppy, Mary. You were amazing—treating her with so much love and attention. Your thoughtful updates with pictures and videos truly gave us peace of mind, knowing that Mary was in such good hands. We can’t thank you enough for your dedication and kindness. We highly recommend your services to anyone looking for the best care. We look forward to using your services again in November and December. Thank you once again, Christi!”

“Nora is amazing. So welcoming and she provides great care. Good photos and updates. Long walks to wear your pooch out. Has the prefect yard which gives dogs freedom to roam. I have used her multiple times and will continue to do so.”

“Thank you for being such an amazing dog host! Our Luna had a fantastic time w/Hanspeter. Quick communication and lots of pictures to keep us updated. Will stay again!”


“It was our first time boarding our rescue Golden and we didn’t know how he would do. At drop off we were met at the car and could see their experience and comfort with big dogs. We received pictures and texts daily and could see that Teddy was acclimating well and looked happy. We anticipate being repeat clients with Valerie and look forward to Teddy having another vacation.”

“Hailey was amazing! She made everything super easy and communicated clearly every day with updates and adorable photos of Shoko. I could tell he had a great time—he came back happy and relaxed. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

“Another great stay with Francin. Hapi always has a great time there. Francin's great at sending updates with pics and videos. Looks like Hapi was having an awesome time. Francin is my go-to-dogsitter. Thanks again, Francine! :)”


About: I’ve cared for pets belonging to friends, family, and people close to me over the years. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and temperaments and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and supervision. My schedule is flexible, and I do my best to accommodate clients with advance notice. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the week. I have a secure fenced yard and two friendly dogs in a safe, supervised environment. I prioritize communication, routine, and attentive care to make sure every pet feels comfortable and safe while away from home.

Lakes by the Bay dog parents share their Rover experiences
I had a vacation planned which I take a lot of them during the summer as I am a teacher on break. I am so nervous to leave Rocco behind but I was able to and felt at ease doing so because of Yanet and Mario. They took and provided me with a lot of photos and videos of Rocco while I was away. Rocco stayed for three nights and seemed very happy and content when I picked him up. Thanks Yanet and Mario. You both were great! I would book again.

I highly recommend Derek! He provided amazing, friendly service for our Golden Doodle, Fendi, during her one-week stay. His home is completely pet-friendly, and Fendi was so happy to be there. Derek replies to messages very fast and kept us at ease with regular picture and video updates. We will definitely use his services again!
Maria and William were absolutely amazing with Gambit! They have a beautiful home with plenty of space for him to roam and feel comfortable. They were incredibly kind and attentive throughout his stay. Before we dropped him off, Gambit had injured his tail, but we didn’t realize how much he had been licking it. Maria and William noticed it right away and immediately took the time to bring him to the vet, even though it was far from where they live. I was so grateful for the care and attention they gave him!!. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Gambit was in such caring hands. I would definitely use their services again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy pet sitters :)

Lee and his family took great care of Tesla. Everyone in the family was very sweet with him, and we could tell they really love dogs. Their dog Rocky was friendly too, and Tesla seemed very comfortable staying with them. We really appreciate their help and would be happy to book with them again!

We're extremely happy with Claudia, she was amazing. From the moment we met in the Meet and Greet, we were able to see how she treated our Phoenix with so much love. She was very professional with all of her questions in regards to Phoenix care. She kept us updated during the stay. We definitely recommend Claudia and are very happy with her service.
