“Kenn and Regina are amazing! We have 3 feral rescues with varying levels of shyness, one of which doesn't normally come out to see anybody. To our surprise, we got an update with a video of her out playing and asking for love. They have been so patient and respected her boundaries which made her realize they were safe to be around, it was amazing to see her comfortable with them. The other 2 cats love them too, one waits at the door for them to come visit her every time and our dog always enjoys his brushes and cuddle time! Highly recommend!”


About: —**Offering 10% off for Military families!**— I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Friends and family have always trusted me to love and care for their fur babies like my own. Nurturing comes naturally to me it's truly second nature. From bottle feeding newborn puppies and kittens to gently supporting senior pets with special needs, I have experience with all stages of life. Whether it’s playtime, cuddle time, or medication time, I treat every pet with patience, love, and respect. Your pet's comfort and happiness is always my top priority. I also have a sweet 2 year old Maltipoo named Tuesday, who’s used to sharing her space and gets along well with other pets. As a stay-at-home, homeschooling mom, I’m home throughout the day so your pet will get plenty of love, attention, and care. Animal care is part of our daily rhythm. My dog Tuesday and I go on multiple walks around our complex each day, and there’s always time for play, cuddles, and quiet rest. Whether your pet loves activity or prefers a calm, cozy environment, I’m able to meet their needs consistently all day long. Your pet won’t just be a guest they’ll be part of our little family. Even though I live in an apartment, your dog will still get plenty of outdoor time. I take multiple walks each day around my pet friendly complex, and we also have access to two fenced in dog parks for safe playtime and exercise. I follow a consistent routine with meals served at breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and fresh water is always available. In my home, pets are treated like family with lots of love, structure, and attention to their individual needs. When I care for pets in your home, I respect your routine and space. I make sure your pets feel secure and comfortable by sticking closely to their normal schedule, whether that’s feeding times, potty breaks, walks, medications, or cuddle time. I clean up after them, keep things tidy, and leave your home just as I found it if not better!

About: My family and I are big pet people; we’ve have always had at least two dogs that I’ve trained, walked, and loved my whole life! I’ve always been the dog walker in my family for my grandparents and aunts when they are out of town so I have lots of experience caring for animals both in our home and theirs. I’m home from college and looking to pick up some extra work! Fully available weekdays and weekends, day or night to care for your pets! I have a fenced yard with a doggy door and two friendly dogs! We walk them every day and take them out to socialize often! I live right next to a large dog park where I often take our animals to run and play. I am very willing to drive your animals to these parks alongside sitting and walking.

“Ella dropped by the house to cat sit Mitchell for 8 days - I had a whole checklist of all the things that need to be done for my baby while we were away - and she did all of ‘em + more (cuddles and love)!!! I always feel at peace when booking Ella to look after Mitchell because she does so well with him. Ella’s trustworthy and gets the job done, no doubt. I definitely recommend her & will for sure book again when the need arises. Thanks Ella!!! Mitchell thanks you too, you’re considered one of his best friends 💜”


“I had a fantastic experience with Arlene. They were reliable, communicative, and took great care of my dog while I was away. The potty break visits were always on time, and I appreciated the detailed updates and photos. It gave me peace of mind knowing my baby girl was in such good hands. I highly recommend Arlene to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter.”


About: For 6 years, I’ve cared for everything from energetic tiny pups to sweet older dogs! I love making tails wag, no matter the size or age. As a college student, I’m only available on Fridays and Sundays, but those days are all about your pets! I love giving them attention, walks, and care. Your dog will feel right at home! I have a secure fenced yard and a sweet Labrador who loves making new friends and sharing playtime.

About: I grew up with dogs. We have a family dog, he is a lab and we also have cats. Other than that, I’ve taken care with other family’s fur babies. I recently just moved out, I have my own fur baby now he’s a mini poodle and his name is Yogi. I’m a college student and I only go to school 2x a week, so I can be very flexible with the days. Though I can be busy because I constantly study, however I stay in the living room all the the time, therefore I have all the time in the world to play with the dogs. I live in an apartment and I have a little backyard that is fenced. I also have a play pen and a crate, so if it’s needed for your dog, I can definitely accommodate. Also zoomies is super normal, so I’m totally fine with my furnitures. My dog is also super friendly and rarely barks, he’s super chill and can get along with other dogs. Maybe at first he gets kinda scared but after a few minutes, he’s all good.

About: I trained my own dog who is now 3 years old and great off leash! I love dogs and cuddles and have a lot of patience. I am only available on weekends due to my work schedule. I am fully available on weekends to give them my full attention from Friday-Sunday. I will care for pets on either my apartments or my parents home where there is more freedom to run in the backyard. I am a very cleanly person and will ensure all spaces are kept in order.

“Jennifer has been helping my family with our new puppy for 2 weeks now by coming and giving him a daily potty/lunch/play break while we are at work and school. She goes above and beyond for our pup and even gives some love to our older dog while she’s here. We love getting the daily updates and pictures she sends. Jennifer is kind, responsible, responsive, and reliable.”


About: I’ve been asked to watch my friends and families cats and dogs for the past two years. I feel more than comfortable feeding them their food as well as taking them out on potty breaks. I am available any day of the week in the mornings and afternoons. Once I begin my fall semester on August 18th, I will be available every Thursday and on weekends. Until then, I have open availability. My boyfriend and I have our own dog, Princess. She is a shih-tzu Maltese. She is the sweetest dog that I know, and we know that her favorite part of the day is when we take her out on her daily walk.

“My Fur baby LOVES Lien! We schedule weekly drop ins and she plays fetch and teaches my Fur baby new tricks. She is very kind, patient, and trustworthy. My Fur baby is very particular and doesn't take to alot of people and she is soooo happy and excit when Lien.”


About: Heading out of town or working long hours? I offer loving, reliable pet care so your furry friend feels at home even when you’re away. I love getting out the house, going for walks, playing catch, and all the cuddles so if nothing else your fur baby will be safe and have fun! I work from home full time with a decent size house, big backyard, and love for animals and nature. Best of both worlds! I am at soccer fields, parks, or home frequently which allows much time for the fur friends to explore, play and rest. I have a fenced yard, lots of free time, and a desire to get up and get out which I’m sure your pets will love. The basic in home care I will have for all fur friends will be a comfy place to rest, toys, treats, security gates and cameras. Depending on each fur friends needs we can make additional accommodations for their comfort.


About: I've cared for animals of all kinds since I was nine years old, and I have a long history of fostering dogs and cats from shelters. Puppies/kittens to seniors made up the age range. I have strong attention to detail, a strong work ethic, and a proven track record of providing excellent customer service. I have a deep understanding of the characteristics and behaviors of numerous animals. I am also skilled in compassionately and effectively handling complex, potentially dangerous animals. Throughout the time that your companion(s) are in my care, I work hard to ensure their safety and well-being. Rover is my source of income, so I am more than willing to cater to you and your animal companion(s) and even try to accommodate late notice bookings. Safety Goals: I will strive to keep your animal(s) happy, healthy, and the same goes for anyone around us. Trust: I will follow all instructions of care. I will take photos and videos to show how your cat/dog(s) are doing. Your trust is critical to me, and I will uphold myself to the highest standard of care. Environment: I will make sure I create an environment that is perfect for your cat/dog(s) personality. I want your companion(s) to feel extremely comfortable and loved, so if it's a relaxed atmosphere, a high-energy one, or somewhere in between, I will strive to achieve it.

About: Pet sitter has recently tested as COVID-Negative and has been fully vaccinated. My name is Mollyn and my pup is Jasper. He is a 3 year old tricolored corgi. He’s super sweet, friendly and welcomes everyone to our home. As a child, I spent countless hours reading dog books, from breeds to how to train. I LOVED dogs growing up but was never able to have one of my own till now. I’ve always cared for my neighbors and friends dogs when they are out of town or just need their dogs walked while working. I make sure they get the proper amount of physical activity, mental stimulation and socialization needed. My home is a 1-bedroom apartment that is clean and cozy for your dog to play or relax with Jasper after a nice adventure at the park. I currently have a flexible schedule and this will allow me to be available to your dog at all hours of the day. I can only care for neutered or spayed dogs and every booking will require a vaccination record (all shots must be up to date). Must also be on a flea/tick and heartworm prevention medications. Daycare Service: -2-3 trips to the park -Complimentary treats -Toys to play and share with -Updates with photos and videos **NOTE: pickup past 9pm will be charged boarding fee For Boarding services: -It is a REQUIREMENT that dogs are crate trained prior to my care. The crate is used nightly to ensure both our pet’s safety. **Dogs MUST be potty trained. Please don’t hesitate to contact me for any information you may need. I have a pretty flexible work schedule which will allow me to work with both our schedules to ensure your pet has the best care that they need and deserve. I live in a pet friendly complex in San Francisco next door to Golden Gate Park. Your dog will enjoy the many trails and adventures the park has to offer.

“Emily took great care of my needy guy not only by feeding him but giving him love and cuddles. I received lots of pictures of my cat sprawled over her or next to her so I know he was well taken care of and spoiled rotten ?”


About: I have grown up with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes and have years of sitting experience. I have taken care of puppies, senior dogs, and anywhere in between. I recently graduated college and am looking for something to occupy my time during the summer. I am available most days and times of the week. I will satisfy any rules and requests to keep your fur babies comfortable and on their regular routine. I love walking and playing with pups.

About: I’m genuine and super responsible. I understand that your puppies are like human babies. They’re part of the family. I will take really good care of them. I have two puppies and they run my world. I’m also super honest and trustworthy. I’m such a dog mom so I will send you pictures and videos while you're away! I love all dogs! I can’t wait to meet you! This is their house I am just living in it but i currently do not have boarding at my house as an option right now. I always make time because I believe they deserve it. I’m really reliable and dependable. I know how to manage my time properly. There isn’t anything I wouldn’t do for my/your pet/s. Your pet is my main priority as if they were my own. I make sure they eat at a timely manner, get their walks/bathroom break, get lots of playtime if they need it, lots of treats, love and attention.

About: I’ve been taking care of pets such as guinea pigs, budgie birds, hamsters, dogs, and of course cats as I was growing up. I personally don’t have a dog of my own, but I’ve taken care of my friends dogs numerous times. I also love to do extensive research when it comes to our different type of fur babies health. For example their diets, how active they should be, what type of environment they need to be in, and etc. I would only be available on holidays and weekends, I currently work a full day, so I would be available anytime during those days. My personal pet care schedule usually deals with feeding in the morning, having an automatic feeder during the afternoon, and then feed her dinner when I get home. If you were to have a dog boarded here, they would have to be friendly towards cats, my cat did grow up with a dog so she’s friendly with dogs.
