“We are SO grateful we found Luna! Our usual dog care fell through right before a long out-of-state trip, and we were genuinely considering postponing because our senior dog, Indi, has recently been diagnosed with IBD and needs a specialized diet, daily meds, and a calm, attentive environment. She can get stressed easily in new places, which has previously led to tummy issues and even skin flare-ups — so we were very nervous about leaving her with someone new. From the very first message, Luna was incredibly warm, proactive, and thoughtful. She even offered to set up a meet-and-greet right away before we could ask, which immediately put us at ease. Once we dropped Indi off, it was clear Luna treats animals like family. Her own dog, Jim, also has IBD, so she had first-hand experience and comfort caring for a pup with similar needs. Throughout the two weeks, Luna provided detailed updates every single day — including meals, meds, walks, and yes, digestion reports (very appreciated 😂). She took so many adorable photos and videos that we could see how happy and relaxed Indi was. Our dog walker also commented on how noticeably happier and healthier Indi seemed while staying at Luna’s — her stools even improved (a true win for IBD dog parents!). Communication was flawless, kind, and reassuring the whole time. We felt completely at ease, which is priceless. We would absolutely book with Luna again and recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a sitter who is caring, attentive, and truly exceptional. Indi came home happy, calm, and healthy — we couldn’t ask for more. 💛🐾”

“Ashish was an amazing Dog Sitter. I was leaving my eight month old puppy for 15 days and was very nervous. As soon as I dropped my dog off with Ashish I felt completely comfortable. He went above and beyond The duty and sending videos and pictures I could see from those pictures and videos that Ari was very well taken care of. I will definitely be using him for all my future trips. Ashish gave me peace of mind when I needed it most.”
“Our Luna girl stayed with Adam and Julie for over a week and this was herfirst stay with them. We did do a meet and greet a couple months before the actual stay so we had an idea if Luna liked Adam and Julie. Luna is normally a fairly reactive young puppy like adolescent with frequent barking and lungeing at people and dogs that distress her which can be many people and dogs. We went to their home for the meet and greet and Luna was fairly comfortable with Adam and Julie right off the bat. That was definitely a good sign. Two months later and Luna now 2 months older and more mellow has her stay with Adam and Julie. We picked Luna up after our trip and she was happy, playful, and reacted like she had a good stay. Julie and Adam gave us a full report and it seems everything went well. We got a daily picture of Luna sent via text which made us very happy to connect with her. Thanks to Adam and Julie for taking good care of our girl while we were on vacation.”

“Ross was awesome! From our initial meeting, he asked all the right questions about the care and personality of my pup. During my pups stay, Ross was great about sending daily photos and updates on how my little guy was managing with my absence. I could see from the photos that my pup and Ross's pup were getting along really well... This left me feeling very comfortable that my pup was enjoying his 'vacation'. Thanks so much Ross! We look forward to Baxter staying with you again soon!”

“Yasmin is an amazing sitter! She has a very warm and kind spirit and you can just feel that she loves dogs and you fur baby will be very cared for. I really appreciate that she took time to send daily updates, pictures, and videos! Yasmin would get 10 stars if I could give them!”

“Radha took great care of our pup! She took her on lots of walks and made sure she had ample playtime in Radha’s large backyard with lots of grass for frolicking. She gave her plenty of love and cuddles, and our dog really seemed to enjoy her time there. Radha sent photos and videos regularly, which we really enjoyed while we were away. Highly recommend.”

“Michael has watched our pup, Stella, a number of times now. She is always well-taken-care of with Michael. He takes her on multiple walks per day and makes sure she gets plenty of outside time. She and his pup get along well, so it is nice for her to have a dog playmate too. Michael sends photos and updates throughout the stay, which is great for when we are missing her. We would recommend Michael to anyone needing someone to care for their pet.”

“They are just beyond amazing people who truly care and love dogs. Our dogs had amazing time with them, we can tell! There is no enough words to describe how beautiful people they are.”

“Christiano is a true dog lover. He took such great care of Angus, with premium treats, long walks, and of course lots of love. Very communicative and sent lots of pics so we could be sure he was happy while we were vacationing. Will rebook!”

“7 mo old Bridgette got to spend a week with Zaz, which I think mellowed her puppy tendencies out because when she got home she was so well behaved. Appreciate the daily walks. :)”

About: Hi there! My preferred name is Luna 🌼 (Legal name Alisha) - please use Luna. 💖 Caring for animals has always been second nature to me. 🐾 As both a devoted dog parent and a healing professional, I approach pet sitting and dog walking with deep attentiveness, patience, and genuine love. Whether it’s a long walk for an energetic pup, gentle Reiki comfort for an older companion, or making sure your furry family member feels safe and nurtured while you’re away — I tailor my care to each animal’s unique personality and needs. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes and temperaments (puppies, seniors, rescues, and special-needs pets) and know how important it is to keep routines consistent while giving extra affection. You can expect regular updates, photos, and reassurance that your pet is in safe, capable hands. For Boarding - I have a whole dedicated Pet Studio (the size of a studio apartment) for the pets to enjoy toys, infrared light, and comfy beds. The photo of the red room will be their cozy home. 🏠 What Sets Me Apart: • Trauma-informed, intuitive care for animals with anxiety or special needs • Holistic background (Doctorate in Integrative Medicine & Reiki training) to create calm, healing environments •Reliable, professional, and flexible scheduling • Respect for your home, routines, and your pet’s unique quirks Your furry loved ones are family, and I treat them as such. 💛 I can’t wait to meet your pup, share some joy on our walks, and give you peace of mind while you’re away! I am currently in the start up phase of my Therapeutic Reiki Petcare services and so my availability is more open momentarily as my pet community continues to grow. 💫 When pets come into my home, they become part of my family. 💛 My space is warm, calm, and filled with natural light, plants, and gentle energy — designed to feel safe and soothing for both humans and animals. Your dog will be welcomed into a structured but loving routine that balances play, exercise, and rest: • Daily walks & outdoor time to explore, stretch, and release energy (tailored to your pet’s age and comfort). • Playtime enrichment with toys, training games, and gentle redirection to keep their minds sharp. • Healing comfort through calm touch, Reiki, and intuitive care — especially for pets with anxiety, senior needs, or sensitive temperaments. • Holistic wellness environment: I use natural cleaning products, filtered water, and a pet-friendly, chemical-free home. • Companionship & snuggles (if your pet is the cuddly type!) so they never feel alone. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique personality. Some thrive on constant play, others need quiet reassurance — I tune into that rhythm. Pets in my care are never just “watched”; they’re nurtured, respected, and loved like they’re my own. What sets me apart: ✨ Trauma-informed approach for pets who may be shy, reactive, or have past challenges. ✨ Reiki & integrative healing background to bring calm to high-energy or anxious animals. ✨ Years of experience balancing structure and freedom — your pet will have consistency while also enjoying joy-filled moments. ✨ A compassionate, professional sitter you can trust to provide updates, photos, and peace of mind. Your dog’s stay with me will feel like a retreat: safe, joyful, and full of love. 🌻🐕🐾
“This was our first time using Rover. Luciana and Rob were great. We were super impressed from the initial meet and greet - they asked all the right questions and spent ample time with us to ensure that our dog and they would be comfy together. They cared for our dog during 4th of July which we were a little nervous about given how loud it can get - but we felt very comfortable about it after the meet and greet. They had a plan and were totally up for staying up all night if need be to help her through the noise. They were also great communicators and shared photos on the walks and adventures they took with our dog. Dogs faces don’t lie - and hers was all smiles so this put us very much at ease to enjoy our vacation without worrying about a thing. A+ experience!!”

“Louis watched our dog for multiple days over Thanksgiving week, and was absolutely amazing. He gave super prompt communication and is very knowledgeable. We felt at ease during our trip knowing our dog was in good hands. Highly recommend Louis if you are in need of a great dog sitter!”

“Leila and her son Christiano are truly wonderful! We boarded our dog Rosie with them for three days and I think Rosie would have wanted to stay for another three days! Our dog Rosie is a sweet girl, but is nervous around new people and experiences. Leila and Christiano took the time and care to make her feel comfortable from the moment we did a meet and greet. It is obvious that they know how to work with dogs of all dispositions. Christiano asked if I would like Rosie to get to interact with other dogs and that he could bring his extremely well behaved husky to play if I would like. If you need another example of how well they take care of and train dogs, his husky (a notoriously stubborn breed) is an amazing therapy dog. I thought this was a good opportunity for Rosie to gain some confidence and have a fun play date. Rosie was able to hang out with such a calm and patient pup while being supported by Leila and Christiano. I was receiving video updates and pictures from the moment they started watching her (no seriously I received 4 videos while driving home from dropping her off). It was clear that Rosie was having a great time. They also (with my permission) made her home cooked food to supplement her kibble. They took Rosie on multiple walks a day and on the last day Rosie ended up staying with them a few hours later then we originally planned as Christiano asked if Rosie would like to go on a (up to 20 mile) run. I am certain Rosie got tired before Christiano did! I didn’t intend to write such a long review but I can not stress enough how great Leila and Christiano were with our pup. If you are worried, don’t be. If you have a pup that needs extra care and attention, they will provide it. They truly love dogs and know how to work with them. I am so happy I found them and would gladly book with them again!”

“Ana G and her love & care for our fur baby was exceptional ❤️ I will definitely refer her and keep her for our dog coverage care, not to mention, as much as she hated to see our pup go. I think pup didn't want to leave. She a real 5 star 🌟”

“Asatur was able to accommodate a last minute boarding request. Everything was great and Asatur kept me updated on my dog. He has a large fenced area and dogs we’re having a great time.”

“Jennifer was so sweet and really helpful with this last minute request. My pup was so happy and relaxed when I can back. Will definitely book with Jennifer again, her backyard is a dream for any doggie! Thanks Jennifer!”

Ross was so wonderful to our senior dog who is now partially deaf, wearing a diaper and a bit of a princess when it comes to eating. She is usually very shy and distraught when we have to leave her behind with someone but she seems to come out of her shell with Ross and his senior dog right away. We got daily updates and most importantly she seemed very happy and calm when we picked her back up.

Meryl had an awesome time with Julie & Adam! She explored their house, and back yard, she met a couple chickens, they took her on a walk in the Marina, and she even hung out with Julie at the salon! Meryl has been suffering from separation anxiety - Julie and Adam made sure she felt safe and secure during her stay!

Leaving my girl with strangers isn't easy for me, so finding someone like Kiarash was a blessing for myself as well as Storm. He is really a pet friendly person that provides a place for them to feel comfortable and welcome. After dropping off Storm he was already sending me a dozen photos / vids of Storm meeting the other dogs and exploring the house / out on a walk. I wouldn't hesitate to call on Kiarash if I'm back in the area visiting my daughter and am in need of a Rover.

This was our second time having Luciana and Rob watch Calli. And they were fantastic! It’s really a relief to be able to find a sitter that you feel comfortable leaving your dog with, especially a reactive pup! They sent pictures every day of their adventures with Calli and we loved seeing her happy and healthy. We’ll always be looking to book with them again!

Such an amazing experience for my two dogs! They were so catered to during their stay and I couldn’t be more thankful. I got so many updates while I was enjoying my vacation and it brought me so much comfort to see both my girls happy. I also booked this last minute and both sitters were incredibly accommodating

I'm just so pleased that my pup has somewhere he can feel safe at when he's not with us. He has some separation anxiety and prefers to stay with someone if we have to be gone for a few hours. We've been working with Zoe periodically over the last year, and after a handful of doggy day cares and boarding for just a night or two at a time he's comfortable enough to eat over there when he stays even for a few hours. Thanks Zoe!!!

Leila and her family took such good care of my 2 dogs while I was away for a week. They sent so many photos and updates of the dogs getting along with other dogs and their friendly cat! They took special notice of any dietary or habitual changes in the dogs and let me know right away. My big dog has never met a cat and they were willing to make a careful introduction which was a success! I would definitely book again in the future!
I cannot overstate how incredible Juli was with our 13-year old beagle, Shane. He is an older dog and very attached to me (separation anxiety plus!) so we rarely leave him with anyone. From the very first “meet-n-greet,” Juli understood the assignment: she was calm, gentle, and reassuring - exactly what Shane needed. During his 3-night stay at Juli’s house, she sent us messages and photos to let us know how he was doing. By the second day, they were pals. When we arrived to pick Shane up he was relaxed and calm while still glad to see us. Juli had taken such good care of him and made him feel safe and happy. I highly and unreservedly recommend Juli to anyone wanting a warm, loving, and welcoming pet-sitter.

Luna is a wonderful dog sitter! Cosmo, my dog was thrilled and happy to have stayed with her and her lovely dog, Jim! Jim was also the perfect fur host, showing Cosmo where they should play and that it was okay to run around and play together. Luna has a large and lovely yard and Cosmo enjoyed the serenity of the yard and home. Cosmo can be shy and aloof, and he does not react well to negative energy. But, he warmed up to Luna because of her thoughtful and positive approach to care giving. I trusted her to take good care of him. And, she did! Cosmo can be a velcro dog as he is with us practically 24/7, so it eased our anxiety to know that she was there for him. Thank you Luna for taking good care of Cosmo. Much aloha, Diane and Philip G.

Eleonora is beyond amazing! Kind, gentle, diligent, and works excellently with anxious dogs. Oslo and I are beyond thrived we found her and her lovely home. My guy has tons of separation anxiety, but she worked with him at every step and consulted me when needed. Please 🙏🏾 don’t hesitate to book if you are in need of a sitter for your anxious baby. She is an expert with dogs and specifically the anxious ones. ❤️❤️❤️

This is my second time with Luna, and once again, she was absolutely wonderful! She cared for my senior dog, Shanti, with so much love and attention, keeping me updated on even the smallest changes. Every day she sent me photos where Shanti looked completely relaxed and happy in her home, which gave me such peace of mind. Her sweet dog, Pepito, was also the perfect companion for Shanti, and seeing them get along so well was an extra bonus that made the stay even more special.

We always appreciate Lanette and David’s dedication and care for our dog, Betsy! She gets so excited to stay with them and it gives us peace of mind to know she is in capable and loving hands while we travel. We will definitely be booking with them again for future travel needs.

Jennifer was extremely thoughtful and kind with our senior pup! She kept us well informed and was very caring when our dog had a few unforeseen hiccups. Our dog had a great stay and we are so glad to have met Jennifer. We hope to have our dog stay there again soon!
