“Sara was outstanding at taking care of our beagle for a week, despite us asking her last minute. She dealt with an issue where our dog had a potty training relapse and solved the problem by getting diapers. She gave our sweet girl lots of playtime outdoors at the dog park and beach. Sara is clearly an experienced dog sitter who takes great care of her customers. Thank you Sara!”
“Kosara is new to Rover, but not new to pet sitting. She lives in a bright apartment directly behind the Mill Valley Pet Clinic which her mother ran for many years. I felt immediately at ease when we first met and knew Stewart would be in capable hands. I was updated daily with photos where he was clearly making himself at home. I’m so glad to have found a local boarder who I can trust. Thank you, Kosara!”
About: I am highly experienced not only in pet sitting but in basic dog training as well. With 20 years experience in handling all dog breeds I am able to provide care for your pets specifics needs & demands. I am an attentive pet lover & will make sure your pet not only feels comfortable but safe during the time with me. I am able to administer medications as well. Your home will be treated just as well as your pet. I grew up with dogs since I can remember and have been helping my family with their dog business since I was 9 years old. I currently care for my own 3 well trained dogs, a german shepherd, cocker spaniel & a malti-poo. Each of these dogs have their own characteristics that help me understand every pet has their own unique personality and demands. I currently work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I am available for all your pets needs any day, or night, including weekends. I would prefer to care for your pet in the comfort of their own home & will treat your home as my own. I can walk or use a fenced in yard depending on your home.
“I'm so thankful for Rosa and Kevin taking such thoughtful care of my dog, Watson. It was my first time using Rover, so I really appreciated them taking time for my dog to get acquainted with them prior to her boarding and to ensure she got along well with their dog, Banksy. Thank you!”
“Tom took great care of our pup, Bunker! He was very responsive and sent us updates and photos, which we loved! We could tell Bunker had a great stay when she started pulling in the direction of his neighborhood on our first walk back from our trip :-)”
“Lei is a wonderful sitter! Very attentive to my dogs needs and great at sending pictures and updates throughout the day. I could tell my pup loved spending time at her place too!”
“Kinley was well cared for with Monica and Boady. Lots of hikes, sunshine and cuddles. Just like at home. Thanks to the pictures and updates I never worried and always knew my pup was happy.”
“Jenna took fantastic care of my little epileptic dog while I was gone for a week. It can be nerve wracking to leave him because his medication schedule is complicated, but she was kind and communicative and I felt so comfortable knowing he was having a fabulous time with her. Thank you Jenna!”
“We left our frenchie puppy with Lori & Frank and couldn’t have been happier. After meeting Lori & Frank we knew he was in great hands. They are both so warm and caring and you can tell they love animals. They took amazing care of him and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.”
“Sian took amazing care of our four month old puppy Kona - Kona seemed in great spirits and in great shape coming home (and maybe even a little sad to leave Sian). Kona is even sleeping in later now! Sian was very communicative through the whole process and super flexible with timing changes - and shared lots of photos since this was Kona's first time away from us. We are so grateful for her help!”
“Sam was so wonderful! She was communicative and attentive about my pup’s fairly complicated medication schedule. My little guy adores her and her family after his multi day stay”
“My dog has never been happier or more comfortable and safe while boarding! She got along perfectly with their dog and family and came back relaxed (and worn out!) Regular photos and updates gave me peace of mind while traveling for the first time since I’ve had her.”
“Emily was awesome with my slightly anxious rescue dog. Sent updates, very responsive, and flexible about drop off and pick up times. Much appreciate the care she gave my little doggo over the course of a weekend and always felt she was in safe hands.”
“Katie is such an amazing sitter. My dog can be a bit skiddish around new folks but he warmed up to Katie immediately. She was so easy to communicate with and kept me updated with cute photos. It really put my mind at ease knowing my dog was being loved on by such a kind and warm person 🥹”
“Crystal did a great job caring for Reyna, our 5-year-old Havanese dog. Crystal seems to genuinely like dogs. Reyna was happy and not stressed out when we came to pick her up. There was a hiccup in how we arranged a start time through Rover, but Crystal worked it out and made sure we were charged properly. Crystal is responsive and responsible. We hope to use her again!”
