“Being new to California, one of the hardest things for me has been finding someone I truly trust with my dog, Cooper. I usually take him everywhere with me, but recently that hasn’t always been possible. I’m so grateful to have found Hyangja! She took the time to meet with Cooper and me before my trip to make sure we were all comfortable and that it would be a good fit. We spent time getting to know each other while Cooper happily roamed around and made himself at home. While I was away, she sent me updates and pictures, which gave me such peace of mind. It was wonderful seeing that Cooper was comfortable, happy, and having a great time. I truly appreciate the care and attention she gave him. I think Cooper and I have officially found our perfect sitter, and that makes this dog mom very happy! Highly recommend!”
“Thank you so much Shipra for taking such good care of Fresco and making him feel like home. I would totally recommend her if you are looking for a home away from home for your fur baby. Loved her family and how they all bonded with Fresco. She took care of every small details we mentioned and kept us updated with his pictures.”
“I give Monisa and David our highest recommendation for dog boarding. We had our 2 dogs boarded with them for 10 days. We had never left our dogs with anyone for that length of time so we had some nerves but after our initial meet & greet with Monisa and David, we felt so at ease and confident. All communication leading up to the boarding, during and for pick up was clear, easy and straightforward. Monisa also provided photos and videos throughout their stay, and our dogs’ coats looked better when we picked them up than before we dropped them up😂. We had a great vacation and so did our dogs 😊”
“Entrusted this wonderful person to care for my daughter’s cat while she was away on a birthday celebration. Not only was she wonderful. Her communication was consistent and took really good care of our cat. Highly recommended and trusted. Can’t thank her enough.”
“Thanks so much for taking good care of our two dogs! The daily photos were wonderful and we were always happy to see our doggies enjoying themselves. Also, we appreciate the open line of communication :)”
“Svetlana and her husband were amazing once again! We felt so at ease knowing Mocha was staying with them. They truly loved on her as if she was their own which made us so happy! We got frequent updates and Mocha came back rested and happy.”
“Alyssa kept our puppy 11-month-old Callie for a week. This was our first time using a Rover sitter for an extended time and Alyssa and her family were great with Callie. Callie came home tired and happy, and I'm sure had lots of playtime with Alyssa's dog Buster. Alyssa was great with sending pictures and/or messages to let us know how Callie was doing. We will definitely use Alyssa again and are really happy that she made our first time leaving one of our dogs with someone other than family really easy and comfortable.”
About: As the proud owner of a 4-year-old Belgian Malinois, I’ve developed a deep love and understanding of animal care. He’s my first dog, but my passion for watching over and nurturing animals has been lifelong. I believe exercise is key to a happy, healthy pet. I regularly take my dog on long walks and would ensure the same for your furry friend. Whether it’s playing, petting, or just spending quality time, I genuinely enjoy creating moments that bring joy to animals. Cleanliness and grooming are also priorities for me. I love brushing my dog and ensuring his coat stays healthy while keeping our home fur-free. You can trust that your pet’s hygiene will always be well cared for in my hands. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities, and I would treat them as if they were my own. I have a Belgian Malinois which is one of the most active and energetic dog breads. I care for him daily from multiple walks, to feeding, brushing, and playing with him. I prioritize his well-being all while working a full time job. I work from 7 to 5 so we are up and at it by 4 AM. Then I come home to take care of my Maui. For clients, my availability will be from Monday to Sunday. I do not work from home but I work very close to my office so I could drop by in the afternoon to take your fur baby out to pee and stretch. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine while respecting your home. Here’s how I approach pet care: 1. Follow Your Instructions I adhere to the feeding schedules, dietary requirements, exercise routines, and any specific instructions you provide. Maintaining consistency is key to keeping pets comfortable and stress-free. 2. Keep Their Routine Pets thrive on routine, so I ensure walks, playtime, and naps happen as expected. I also take the time to engage with them in ways they enjoy, such as games or cuddling. 3. Maintain Hygiene I clean up after the pet, ensuring their spaces (e.g., feeding area, litter box, bedding) are always neat. If they need grooming, like brushing or wiping paws, I handle it with care. 4. Provide Plenty of Exercise and Attention Whether it’s walks, playtime in the yard, or indoor activities, I make sure they get the physical activity and mental stimulation they need to stay happy and healthy. 5. Ensure Safety I keep a close eye on them to prevent accidents, secure any areas they should avoid, and monitor for signs of illness or distress. 6. Respect Your Home I leave your home as I found it, keeping spaces clean and secure. I treat it with the utmost respect, ensuring you feel comfortable and at ease while away. Ultimately, my goal is to provide the love, care, and attention your pet deserves while maintaining the trust and comfort of their home environment.
“Navneet and family are wonderful! A real home away from home for our dog where she receives much love, care, and attention by all. Fenced in yard provides added peace of mind. We would definitely book a stay with them again!”
“Alyse and her family were awesome with Gabbar! She was super responsive and accommodating the whole time, which made everything so easy. Gabbar honestly had the best time and looked like he was having a blast. I loved getting the photos and videos throughout his stay, too; it was so nice to see him happy. Will definitely be booking with her again! Thanks so much, Alyse!”
“Tina was great! I will definitely use her again. She was communicative, has a home very well-suited for pets (e.g. lots of comfy places to chill and feel at home), especially for smaller dogs, which is her specialty, and send daily pictures/updates. It’s so important when you travel to have peace of mind and Tina gave me that with her care of Benny.”
“Simran was amazing with Coco! He was incredibly attentive, caring, and kept us updated with pictures . Coco looked happy and comfortable the entire time, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely trust Simran with Coco again and highly recommend him!”
“Mary took great care of our cats for a month, and it was a fantastic experience. She once again was professional, reliable, and our cats warmed up to her and her cats quickly. I received regular updates with photos which was very reassuring. Our cats were happy and well-cared-for when we returned. I highly recommend Mary for anyone needing a trustworthy and caring cat sitter. Thank you again, Mary!”
“I knew our girl would be in great care after our meet and greet with Ashley. As soon as I pulled up to the house for drop off SamiJo was ready for her visit. She ran straight to Ashley. Ashley is responsive, caring, and loves dogs. She sent me a few photos of our girl during her stay, which made me really happy. We will be booking Ashley in the future. Thank you for caring for our girl.”
“Our furry friend, Cooper had a wonderful time at Xue’s. Xue was so welcoming and flexible from the start! We appreciated her willingness to take Cooper in a short 2 day notice. She shared pictures each day with us and was very communicative! Thank you so much, Xue! Cooper says “I woof you” 💕”

Braden and Natalie are so great! They’ve been watching Millie periodically since she was a young puppy, and no matter how much time has passed between visits, she always remembers them and is so excited to see them. It’s clear how loved and well cared for she is while there. She gets plenty of exercise, stimulation and attention. We always feel comfortable knowing she’s in such great care. This time, we’re especially grateful that they were able to accommodate our last-minute request. We absolutely would recommend them!
Kim took phenomenal care of our dog Raider during his boarding stay. It was tough to leave our pup behind, but Kim made us feel completely at ease. Communication was excellent, and daily updates, and pictures were awesome. We could see that he was happy and well taken care of. He returned happy, healthy, and unstressed. We highly recommended Kim to anyone looking for top-notch care.
We had an amazing experience with Chris! This was Cooper’s first time staying with someone new for 4–5 days, so we were naturally a little nervous. From the very beginning, he made Cooper feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. He took Cooper on regular walks, gave him plenty of attention, and kept us updated every day with messages and photos. Those daily updates gave us so much peace of mind. We couldn’t have asked for a better first boarding experience. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog, which says everything. We would absolutely book with him again!
Jenny was an amazing sitter for Kaiser!!! She followed our care instructions perfectly and updated us every few days with multiple pictures and videos. She was very cautious and caring. Kaiser is usually scared of strangers, but he warmed up to her and soon became very comfortable with the sitter and her family. She even bathed him as his stay was almost 4 weeks long. We will definitely be choosing her as our sitter for him again if needed in the future. ☺️
Robert is a top notch dog sitter because he understands dogs and can match their different energies and personalities well. He assessed Sahaley quickly and she felt comfortable with him instantly. He also gave me some great advice on how to care for her. I would happily use him again and recommend him to anyone.
Divya and her family took wonderful care of our 7 year old Beagle while we were 1000 miles away in Yellowstone National Park. She went above and beyond with regular updates and beautiful photos that put our minds completely at ease. Since Divya has a Beagle of her own, our pet felt right at home and settled in quickly, almost like he found a second family. We can't recommend her highly enough for your pet boarding needs. She's an absolute gem!
