“Always such a wonderful stay with Megan and Jenny! We only had one visit before this one and our pup pulled me to their door from the car. Receiving pics throughout the day was so reassuring and sweet. Thank you ❤️”

“Alexandra is a great sitter. She was very careful to gather information so she could personalize care for my dog. And she sent text and video updates. Would definitely take my dog here again!”

“I’m so glad to have found Hy and Arlo! My dog Neko can be shy with new people and reactive toward other dogs, so I was nervous about leaving her with a dog sitter. Hy met with us in advance and was extremely patient and understanding of Neko’s issues. She understood the need to keep Neko away from other dogs and was so gentle and sweet with her. She was great at communicating and sent plenty of pictures and updates during Neko’s stay. I’m planning to leave Neko with them again this summer and know she will be in good hands!”

“Adam and Vicky took excellent care of Daisy, along with their young pup Goose. I received updates frequently and was able to relax while away because Daisy was in good hands. Daisy got lots of outdoor time and was happy and healthy throughout her stay. Daisy has a ton of energy and was able to get the exercise she needed and great friendship from Goose. I recommend Adam and Vicky!!”

“Meagan did an INCREDIBLE job taking care of our 3 month old puppy when we unexpectedly needed a sitter. She helped with crate training and potty training, appropriately socialized our pup, kept her safe and well looked after, and gave us all of the updates and pictures! I could not recommend her more and we will definitely use her again in the future!”

“Mr. Badger had a great visit for a week with Erika while we were traveling. She took excellent care of Mr. B and sent great photos of their snuggle adventures during the week. We will definitely use Erika again.”

“I’m always nervous before leaving Ollie while I travel but Korin makes it so easy! She accommodates Ollie’s needs and makes sure he feels safe and secure which is such a relief as the owner of a skittish dog.”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and genuinely love caring for them. I have a 8 year old Miniature Pinscher, Norman, who has taught me a lot about patience, routines, and making dogs feel safe and comfortable in their own way. (I don’t have him with me full time) I’m comfortable with dogs of different personalities and energy levels, and I’m happy to follow your pup’s usual routine, whether that means long walks, playtime, plenty of cuddles, or simply keeping them company. I’ll treat your dog like my own and keep you updated while you’re away. I am home in the morning and evenings on the weekdays. I am free to take your pets out on walks every couple hours or as needed. I prioritize safety and trust by maintaining a clean, secure environment for pets. I ensure their routines are followed, provide plenty of playtime and affection, and always keep a close eye on them to prevent any accidents. Your pets will feel comfortable and cared for in my home or yours. I have a fenced in yard as well
“Sharon is a dog owner’s dream. Charlie was so happy and comfortable, she looked liked Sharon was her owner, making my own vacation worry free. Lots of good walks and cuddling. We will be back in the future!”


“Jeff & Beth and his children are great sitters. We’re so grateful to have found them! They sent multiple pictures and messages letting me know how our dog Luna was doing throughout her stay. They made the drop off and pick up so easy which is a huge bonus! And Luna came home happy and healthy! You can tell that they really enjoy looking after dogs. They are just really nice people!”

“Abigail was awesome and took great care of our almost 5 year old Havanese, Bailey. She was very responsive, quickly answering any questions we had. Her home and yard area were perfect. Bailey loved the extra walks and settled in nicely. We really appreciated all the photos and short videos Abigail sent letting us know Bailey was in excellent hands. We will definitely ask Abigail to watch Bailey the next time the need arises.”

“Ashley was fabulous!! My dog LOVED her after our meet and greet and jumped right in her car when she picked him for his stay. Was updated with lots of cute photos and could tell Rusty was very happy and getting lots of love. Will definitely be rebooking!”

“Josie and her partner took such good care of Lily. She was communicative and enthusiastic, happy to accept a short notice booking. I really appreciated her attitude and attentiveness. The fact that she has 2 adorable dogs of her own is a bonus, because Lily is very social and happier when she has friends to play with. Having a backyard helps, too, so the dogs can run around together more freely. I was very pleased with Lily's care. Josie is one of my new favorite sitter for her.”

About: I grew up with 6 pit bulls, taking sun baths with them in my backyard. I’ve volunteered in SF SPCA and donate monthly. My best friend aka Herita is a rescue, she’s been with me for over 3 years now. I believe animals have taught me how to love unconditionally and responsibly. Calm, trust and safety are my top priorities. I hope you give me the chance to connect with you and your fur baby/ babies. I work from home. I normally take Hera on a walk every morning for about 30 mins. Come back and hit the gym. After that I’m free. I can always head over in the am, afternoon or evenings. I have a fenced yard, Herita is spayed and loves to play with other dogs. Her bff is a 3 y/o Doberman. Which I take care of a couple of times a week (take her out on walks and feed her)
“Shannon was great at taking care of Roo during my trip. She was responsive, flexible with pick-up and drop-off times—which was helpful after some last-minute work meetings—sent adorable photos and videos, and made sure everything was okay. Roo had a wonderful time in her beautiful backyard during his stay.”

“Albina is a treasure! She took such great care of our boy, Odie, and sent daily updates with photos & videos. Her warmth & calm demeanor shine through & she treated Odie like he was her own. We won’t hesitate to book with her in the future! 🐶🐾”

“Thor had a great time staying with Joann again! She even let him sleep in her bed - his favorite. She is great about proactive communication and pictures. Would definitely book again and recommend her!”

“Nova had a fantastic stay at Brian and Robert’s! I received the most wonderful updates that really let me know she was relaxed and well taken care of. I really do think they loved and cared for her as if she was their own”

Big thanks to Nate for watch our Bella. She is a very anxious, aging, but super sweet dog. Nate handled her with so much care. He even went as far as making her a homemade meal to help with her anxiety. This level of care is very much appreciated. We will definitely use him again!

Rosie had an incredible week with Luka and we can't recommend him highly enough! Luka clearly loves and understands dogs, and Rosie connected with him from the first moment of our meet-and-greet. Rosie was in heaven with so much outdoor time, great exercise, and undivided human attention. We loved the photos and daily communication about how their time was going. We're so glad we found Luka as our new go-to dogsitter!

Sharon took great care of my pup Mochi! She sent daily updates with pictures, and took him on a lot of fun outings. She spent a lot of time with me at drop off to carefully go over any of Mochi’s quirks, to make sure she could take good care of him. I would highly recommend Sharon!
Ben, Pria, and their kids are such wonderful dog sitters. By far the best experience we’ve had. From the moment we drop our dog off, to when we pick him up we know he’s in excellent care. Sometimes I feel they spoil our dog more than we do. Ben and Pria were also very flexible and understanding when my trip plans changed, and I had to pick up our dog early. I could not recommend them enough. If you want a loving family, who will take great care of your dog and leave you without worry, Ben, Pria, and their family should be your choice.

Adam and Vicky took excellent care of Daisy, along with their young pup Goose. I received updates frequently and was able to relax while away because Daisy was in good hands. Daisy got lots of outdoor time and was happy and healthy throughout her stay. Daisy has a ton of energy and was able to get the exercise she needed and great friendship from Goose. I recommend Adam and Vicky!!

I WAS FREAKING OUT! With fairly short notice, my usual options for taking care of my Witten, a 65lb Lab/Jindo mix were unavailable. I definitely didn't want to use a "dog hotel", so I decided to cancel my travel plans. But then a good friend sent me a link to Rover (which I had never heard of) along with a few dog sitter profiles that he thought looked like a good match for Witten. Monica was one of them, and his intuition about her turned out to be spot on. She responded quickly, and was very accomodating about arranging a meet and greet at her home. She and her partner, Benji both have a great energy and a presence which immediately made me start to feel comfortable. And Witten immediately started excitedly exploring their securely fenced-in backyard and making himself at home. Daily, they sent me pics and videos of Witten obviously having a doggone good happy time...in the backyard, on walks around the neightborhood, at parks. Along with insightful observations about Witten that told me they were truly spending time with him and doing more than just "dog sitting". I would have no hesitations about having them care for Witten again. And we are very happy to have them as part of our pack

Amber and Jason agreed to take our two pups for almost a month at very short notice. They returned to us happy and well. And that’s not easy as Fionn is a notorious poop eater and his stool gets gross and weird if that’s not monitored and Morgan has a chronic spine injury and her gait gets worse if she’s not kept from over exerting herself (she’s a classic Frenchie in that she has a high pain threshold, is stubborn and refuses to accept she needs to be careful!). We got numerous photos and got fast responses from them both any time we had a concern. We would not hesitate to use Amber and Jason again.
