1. Gabriel H.
“Gabriel was great. My puppy was well cared for and Gabriel was prompt friendly and efficient”
2. Hannah F.
“Hannah is fantastic and trustworthy. My pup has a lot of anxiety, especially around people. Hannah accommodated my pups needs and ensured both the pup and myself felt comfortable. My pup, who is usually slow to warm up to people, was quickly cuddling and seeking affection from Hannah during the initial interactions. Hannah followed the directions outlined and is very attuned with dogs. I knew my pup was in safe hands with her. I would highly recommend Hannah!”
3. Lindsay R.
“Bear reports that Lindsay was exceptional. She filled in when we really needed a last minute rescue. Bear was happy and well fed when we got home, communication was easy, and we can't thank her enough.”
4. Stella C.
“My husband and I had a full Saturday and looking for someone to swing by the house twice during the day to check-in/hang out with our dogs. Stella was very prompt in all her responses. She offered to come meet the dogs prior to our appointments, which ended up being super helpful. She was very friendly and asked all the right questions. My dogs warmed up quickly and we we got lots of pics. The day ended up being perfect, we didn’t have to worry about a thing.”
5. Hillary W.
“Hillary came to my rescue after someone else cancelled the day before. Came over to meet Lola and go over her eating schedule. When she came over to feed Lola, I got a nice video of Lola greeting her. I would highly recommend Hillary for your pet sitting needs. Thank you Hillary!!”
6. Briana F.
About: I’ve been an animal owner and lover my entire life! I’ve cared for many breeds of dogs, cats, chickens, goats, horses, llamas, and more! I’ve also volunteered for a local rescue organization and fostered many animals. I’m comfortable giving medications and would love to take your dog on walks, runs or hikes! I’m self employed as a photographer so my schedule varies greatly but I have lots of flexibility! I’m a professional and will treat your pet’s care as my best client! Since I work for myself, I control my schedule so I can accommodate yours! Anyone that knows me knows that I care for my animals like my family! I will care for yours the same way! I’m communicative, organized and will treat your home with the utmost respect!
7. Conner L.
“Connor is my #1 choice to watch my pets! He is reliable, professional, caring, trustworthy, and patient. He always makes sure to learn the personalities of my animals to adjust his care properly. Couldn’t recommend enough!!!”
8. Josef S.
“Josef has cared for my dogs many times and he is the absolute best! I have a reactive dog that does not always like men, but him and Josef bonded instantly. He is patient, warm, and kind with all dogs and makes sure they get the care and attention they need. It’s also a plus that he has dogs of his own because he knows general dog owner knowledge. I highly recommend Josef!”
9. Hanna h.
“Hanna loves animals! She is aware, considerate, and confident. I trust her with my pets and they respond well to her. I highly recommend Hanna.”
10. Grace B.
About: At 21 years old, I have had pets my entire life. I have taken care of my family’s two lovely Bernese mountain dogs for multiple days at a time. I have four cats of all ages that i adore and i have also taken care of the cats of my siblings and friends. I am in my final year of college and I miss my animals back at home so much! I would love to take them for walks in between classes/extracurriculars! I promise I will always keep a close eye on your pet! I understand how important they are! I will never fail to close the door behind me or to keep food out of reach!
11. Jenna B.
“You won't find a person who loves dogs more than Jenna. She is loving, gentle, and kind. I would trust her with my dog anytime. 🐕”
12. Erin H.
“Erin is great with dogs! We call her Auntie Erin because she takes such good of Chewie. She’s sweet and friendly and can also hold a boundary with difficult behavior(Chewie jumps on guests and Erin helps us reinforce her training). I would recommend Erin for any of your pet care or dog walking needs.”
13. Natalia T.
“Natalia did a good job dropping in on my pet! She is courteous and professional. She was timely, followed directions, and sent multiple photos. I will definitely be hiring Natalia again and you should too!”
14. Ally M.
“Ally is like the Mary Poppins of dog sitters - I swear my dogs get excited when I pack my suitcase and they know Ally is on her way over! I wholeheartedly recommend Ally as an A+ lover of all pets; she has that innate sensibility that animals love - confidence, kindness, and of course the knowledge of when they need a little snack. Also a trustworthy and fun human being who will look after your house as well as she looks after your pets. A+++++ for Ally!”
15. Miranda K.
“Miranda took care of my two pups in our house while we were out of town for a week and couldn’t have done a better job. We have an older dog that requires seizure medication twice daily, as well as an energetic 1 year old puppy, and she did an excellent job with both. We got frequent pictures/video updates of lots of playtime, walks, and cuddles. When she saw the dogs again after dogsitting they practically tumbled over themselves to get to her to say hi. I wholeheartedly recommend her and will absolutely be using Miranda to dogsit whenever she’s available in the future.”
16. Olivia M.
“Liv was very responsible and loving with our dog Buddy when we were away for a month. She came to our home most days and walked him. She was easy to communicate with and we felt extremely comfortable with her care of Buddy. We definitely recommend Liv to care for your pet!”
17. Brittany P.
About: Hey there! I'm a gal who doesn't own a dog (just 3 cats!) who works from home some days of the week and is happy to take care of your pooch! I joke with my friends and family that I'm a kennel for their pups when they go out of town - why not help out other local friends! I have owned dogs my whole life but just don't have the time to own one currently so I'm happy to help out those that need someone to watch their fur baby! We have a wonderful large fenced yard in a quiet part of St. Helena. Your dog can have free access to the home and our fenced in yard. Quiet neighborhood next to vineyards where the pup can play! Happy to help you out - bring on the dogs! I love them all and am a fun and active person who will take wonderful care of your pet ( just ask my friends how obsessed I am with my cats Grover, Fat Freddy & Ralph!!). Thank you! I work from an office most days with the exception of event weekends and some evenings. I do sometimes have to leave during the day but your dog would be in a secure home with us. Fenced yard on the vineyard and close by lots of walking and vineyards. We do have 3 cats so I prefer your dog to be cat friendly or be able to take some hissing from them.
18. Kyla C.
“Kyla was awesome. She arranged activities for our Kirby and was very thoughtful as to his needs. We had been traveling for sometime and he needed several good walks and stimulation because of spending so much time in the car. I highly recommend Kyla for your animals needs”
19. Jesse M.
About: I've worked in boarding facilities and veterinary offices for a combined 5 years. I'm experienced in providing care for dogs and cats of every age, nearly every breed, and with all kinds of medical conditions and behaviors. I work from home full time and can provide around the clock companionship and care. I love to get outside and go for walks and hikes, but I'm always happy to laze on the couch a bit too. I have one dog, Minnow, a 6 month old mixed breed puppy who is very friendly with all dogs. I have experienced administering oral medications and insulin, basic grooming, obedience and reactivity training, and puppy/senior care. I have previously fostered puppies in my home. I love all breeds from small to large, and anywhere in between! I have a very flexible work schedule. I often have weekend plans but am able to accommodate with notice. I do have one dog who I am the primary caretaker of. I live in St. Helena and love to take walks in the vineyards surrounding my neighborhood or over to Crane Park. I live with my boyfriend (pictured) who often helps provide care. I am comfortable crating, doing basic training, administering medication, and handling reactive or timid dogs. My goal is always to establish trust, and I'll always give time for your pet to warm up to me first. I'll do my best to meet special requests and make sure your pets are comfortable and happy while you're away!
20. Ashley A.
“It is very easy for me to write a testimonial for Ashley. I have known her for almost six years and have found her to be a very compassionate and loving person. She currently has two cats, George and Charlie, and recently lost her cute little dog, Juju that she loved very much. She is very caring and attentive to her pets and others, including my Paco that she has watched, for me, several times. I know she will be an excellent pet sitter for other people’s pets, as well. She has worked in the hospitality industry for many years. Hospitality has prepared her to be an excellent representative for Rover in interacting with the clients. She is very responsible and dedicated to all she does.”
