Vania was awesome!!! I needed someone last minute and she came through. She was great with my two pitbulls and treated them like queens. She was always on time and very communicative with pictures. I strongly recommend and will be using her in the future.

About: I grew up with dogs and currently have my own dog. He’s a four year-old mini golden doodle named Riley. We are active and frequently go on hikes, to the park, and to the beach on the weekends. I also have a backyard where the dogs can play. If your dog needs more than just neighborhood walks, I’ve got you covered! I’m experienced in caring for puppies and managing them so that they don’t get into trouble. I also have a lot of experience administering medication since my dog is on several meds for some of his health issues. I can provide enrichment for your dog if needed, since my dog loves sniffing games, lick mats, and trick training. I absolutely adore dogs and will treat your dog as he/she were my own! I’m available for boarding on weekends and potentially sometimes during the week, if your dog is OK with being left alone for longer stretches of time. I have a hybrid work schedule so I go into the office three days a week and I work from home two days a week (usually Mondays and Fridays). I have a fenced-in yard for the dogs to play. If your dog needs to be crated when left alone, I have a crate that can be used. I also have a Furbo dog camera where I can keep an eye on the dogs while I’m gone. If your dog is comfortable and safe not being in a crate when left alone, I can accommodate that.

About: Rover is an amazing thing in my family's life. Our whole household REALLY LOVES DOGS. We love all the different dog personalities we get to know. We genuinely appreciate pet families trusting us to care for their pet(s). Boarding is our most used and preferred service of the Tree House. We have many regular clients who use our Boarding and Doggy Day Care services. We love all sizes of dogs and the full range of dog personalities. We host up to 4 guest dogs at a time and are very conscientious of the dogs we host and how they will interact. Therefore, if your dog does not do well with other dogs, our house may not be a great fit for your pet. We get requests for exclusive bookings, and where we can accommodate these requests, we will. ****price for exclusive bookings is 2X our service rate, currently $150/night or day care slot**** We require all new clients to do a meet- & -greet, so we can only accommodate last-minute new clients if we get a solid referral from another sitter, you are a friend of the family, or one of our regular clients referred you. We have found our guests do much better when they have been here and sniffed about before their stay. Your dog(s) will be loved and treated with the utmost respect by every member of our household and any other guests. Our home is very relaxed, and our backyard is a dog paradise with lots of shade and different areas for dogs to claim their own space. We always have a crew of dogs, so your dog will have plenty of stimulation and exercise while at our home. We work from home and are here nearly all the time. Pickup and drop-off times are flexible—the key is communication and consideration—fees may apply where either is lacking. The yard has plenty of room for guests to stretch it out and find their own space. We are happy to accommodate crating, and problem children will have some sort of time out until they can ground and be good guests. We are not disciplinarians but are pretty good at setting boundaries thru timeouts and rewards.

Christine is phenomenal! She again took wonderful care of my kitties while my husband and I were on vacation. She goes above and beyond what was agreed upon. She is very reasonably priced. And, on top of it all, Christine is a genuinely nice person. I would recommend her in a heartbeat!

About: Hi! Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities, including senior, anxious, and high-energy pets. At home, I currently have two small dogs, Wallace (14) and Tofu (7), along with my cat Luna (9), so I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pets and their routines. I'm especially comfortable with: - Senior dog & cat care - Giving medication - High-energy dogs who need extra engagement - Anxious or shy pets who need patience and calm energy - Positive reinforcement and treat-based training I'm not a professional trainer, but I genuinely enjoy working with dogs on basic skills, confidence, and engagement through positive reinforcement. If your dog is treat motivated, I'd love to incorporate little training moments into walks or drop-ins (with your permission of course!). I have a flexible schedule and am available Monday–Friday from 7am–6pm, which allows me to give your pets lots of attention, consistency, and care. Whether your pet needs a calm companion, extra playtime, a slow walk, or just someone patient and attentive to check in on them, I'd love to help! I know pets are family, and I'll always do my best to make them feel safe, understood, and cared for while you're away 🐾 I have a very flexible schedule and am available Monday-Friday from 7am-6pm for walks, drop-ins, and enrichment time. I'm able to give pets consistent attention and adjust to their routines as needed. I focus on keeping your pet's routine as consistent and stress-free as possible while you're away. I'll follow your instructions closely, including feeding, medication, and walk routines. I'm patient, attentive, and always prioritize your pet's safety and comfort, both in your home and on walks.

Christina was awesome! She took great care of our 2 fur babies (cats) while we were on vacation. She sent lots of updates and pictures which was great and she even took it upon herself to vacuum up their litter off the floor which I didn’t ask her to do. I thought that was really cool and showed she’s willing to go the extra mile! I will definitely book her again in the future if possible :)

About: With 10+ years of animal care experience — including 4 years as a veterinary assistant — I’m especially experienced with seniors, anxious or shy pets, and those needing medications or extra TLC. I’m reliable, calm under pressure, and treat every pet like my own. Providing care for pets fits naturally into my lifestyle — my schedule is intentionally flexible so I can be available when your pets need me most. Whether you need help during long workdays, weekend trips, or last-minute schedule changes, I’m happy to accommodate a wide range of needs. Let me know what your pet’s routine looks like — I’ll do my best to match it, so they feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. Within the client's home, I do everything I can to make their pets feel safe, seen, and loved. I know how important it is to maintain their routine and environment, especially for pets who thrive on familiarity. I take time to build trust, go at their pace, and make sure they feel comfortable with me in their space. Whether it’s a quick drop-in, extended visit, or overnight stay, I’m respectful of both your home and your pet’s boundaries. I always follow instructions carefully, provide updates along the way, and make sure your pet is happy, secure, and well cared for while you’re away. For the health and safety of your pet, I kindly ask that clients provide their own grooming tools — including brushes, combs, nail clippers, styptic powder, and any other essentials your pet is familiar with. Using your pet’s personal tools helps prevent the spread of bacteria, and ensures a safe, and hygienic experience. Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are always my top priorities.

About: Have you ever wanted your dog to have the comfort of a 5-Star vacation experience with the trust of an experienced pup-lover right in your community? I’ve set up my ADU to be your dog’s private BnB oasis! It’s a totally separate space (just like a BnB), therefore your pet would have no interaction with my dogs. Your dog’s climate-controlled space is equipped with everything needed to make them comfortable during their stay - beds, toys, blankets, and backyard. I work from home, so I’m able to spend plenty of time with them and do whatever is needed for them to have a comfortable home away from home❤️ A little about me: Hi! My name is Sydney and I’ve had dogs my whole life. I have experience caring for cats (including medication administration) and I have also fostered over 40 dogs in my home, so I have experience with all ages and breeds ❤️ As mentioned, your pet would have their own space separate from my dogs, but I do have two small rescue pups! I have one senior 12-pound girl named Mooncake and a 17-pound boy named Toast and they are the loves of my life!! I love pet-sitting! I’m very responsible, dependable, and can be flexible to meet your dog’s specific needs. Whether it’s dog-sitting, dog walking pr cat care, I would love to meet your pet and provide exercise and a fun, loving place to stay while you’re gone! Send me a message with a little more info about you and your bestie and we can set up a time to meet. Can’t wait to meet you! :) I work from home, so I can be somewhat flexible with timing for cat care, dogstting and dog walks! I prefer walking in the evening before it gets dark but let me know your ideal timing and we can work around it. For cat care and walking, I would want to know more about your specific pet but also how to enter the home safely to ensure your pet doesn’t escape as I come in.

About: Use ALEXIS45107 for $20 off your first booking. Having two dogs of my own (a senior & a three-year-old) & a deaf kitty, taking care of and loving animals is my entire life. I’ve always been the go-to among family and friends for animal care because it is a responsibility I do not take lightly. Being someone who finds it hard to trust just anyone with my babies, I know the level of care that is required so that you can truly enjoy your time away. I am extremely detail-oriented, so rest assured I will make sure any instructions are followed perfectly, no matter the length. I’m also happy to provide as much or as little communication as you would like while you are traveling. I’m so looking forward to spoiling any new buddies that come my way! I do work four days a week for eight hours but I am will be available full-time the remaining three days. I am available for boarding, pet/housesitting, dog walking & drop-ins. I have a fenced in yard along with two crates of different sizes if needed. Also more than happy to provide care within your home if that makes everyone more comfortable.

Vania is awesome! I had a last-minute request and had never used Rover before, so was feeling pretty anxious about leaving on a trip for a few days. Vania’s professionalism and personality put me and my 9yo pit-mix at ease straight away. She took such excellent care of him that I noticed he had changed his bark from “There’s Someone At The Door” to “OMG YAY” when she came back to drop off the key ☺️
