“Thank you, Kim & Chris, for taking such great care of our little Mazzie. I have terrible anxiety leaving our rescue pup. But with your loving care, all of my anxiety went away knowing that Mazzie would be well cared for. We look forward to booking with you again.”
“My dogs enjoyed their time at Michelle's. They had friendly other dogs to play with and comfortable places to rest. She sent videos and pictures of their days. I was moving, compared to the chaos at their former home Michelle's was an oasis and I had no worries about their care.”
“Jita and her family are always very welcoming of my dog. I use her pretty regularly and my dog was always so excited. Jita treats her like one of her own dogs. Would highly recommend.”
“This was our first time leaving Cooper with someone for the night and we couldn’t have found a better sitter! They were so honest and so quick to provide updates to reassure us. Even though he couldn’t sleep well the first night, they made sure to comfort him and by the second night, it was like he found a second home. Their constant updates including pictures really warmed our heart and we definitely will only be leaving cooper with them as our first choice whenever we need a sitter!”
“I wish I could give Lisa more than 5 stars!!! Our dog Winston stayed with her for almost 2 weeks while my fiancé and I took a long vacation (for the first time since we brought him home over 4 years ago!) and I had so much anxiety about leaving. Lisa and her whole family were so amazing and I could tell she really loves dogs and makes sure they’re in such a happy well taken care of environment. She was always so responsive and sent us multiple photos and updates while we were gone. Plus she was so accommodating when our flight got delayed on our way home with picking him up. I would absolutely leave our dog with her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter!! Thank you again so so much Lisa ?”
“Shannon is a great person sitter. She boarded Oreo at her place and Oreo was a happy pup in the Video and photos. She sent pictures and regular updates. She even accommodated more than one meet and greet as this was Oreo’s first time boarding. She responds almost immediately which is very helpful. Oreo will sure be happy to board again at Shannon’s. I will sure recommend Shannon for boarding or sitting your pups.”
“Buster had a wonderful time being taken care of by Elaine and Moi. They were very good with him and sent lots of photos and videos. He loved playing with their adorable bernedoodle. It was great being away knowing our pup was very well taken care of!”
“They were excellent sitters who clearly love dogs. They took time for a premeeting to understand my dog before accepting the book. My dog looked relaxed in their backyard and enjoyed playtime. Bokdol came back in great shape. I’ll definitely leave him with them again!”
“Troyee, her husband, and their dog Cherry have been absolutely amazing! They treated Daisy like their own and gave her lots of love and treats haha I had Daisy stay with them for a week and got constant updates from Troyee with pictures and videos. She didn’t want to leave their place at the end of her stay 😅 I would highly recommend booking with her if you’re planning to go on a trip or need someone to watch your dog for a longer period of time. Thanks for taking such great care of Daisy! We look forward to seeing you again!”
About: Hi! I’m Nicole, a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet parent based in Livermore. I’ve grown up with dogs since I was young and spent over 10 years as a proud cat mom before becoming an all-dog household—so I understand and adore both feline and canine personalities. Today, I share my home with three dogs, including a senior with arthritis and a tiny chihuahua with special dietary needs. I know that every pet has their own quirks and comforts, and I’m here to meet them with patience, care, and genuine love. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, medications, or a detailed feeding routine, I provide dependable, attentive care that makes pets (and their people) feel safe and supported. I treat your pets like family—because to me, they are. Let’s connect and find the perfect fit for your furry companion’s needs! Pet care is a natural part of my daily life—I have three dogs of my own, so feeding, walking, and giving them attention is already built into my routine. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to give visiting pets plenty of time, love, and care throughout the day. Whether it's drop-in visits, walks, or overnight stays, I make sure each pet feels safe, seen, and well cared for as part of my everyday rhythm. Safety and trust are my top priorities. In my home, pets have a calm, clean, and supervised environment with plenty of space to relax or play. I separate feeding areas if needed and tailor routines to each pet’s needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely and keep things consistent to help pets feel secure. I treat every home with respect and every animal with kindness—making sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home.
“Great experience, sent tons of photos and Milo really seemed to take to her and have a great time! Happily met up with the pup before booking and I always felt my baby was safe :)”
“Traci was a fantastic sitter for our dog and thanks to her we were able to fully enjoy our time away without worrying a bit about whether our dog would be comfortable. She was extremely flexible with our schedule and accommodating for our pup as he got adjusted to a new space. We enjoyed and appreciated all the photo and activity updates and seems like our dog enjoyed his vacation just as much as we did! Traci also tended to our dogs medicine needs and gave him extra TLC to make him feel right at home. She even dropped him off for us and helped him settle back into his own home. Would 💯 recommend to everyone and have her watch our pup again when we are away!”
“Renuka and family were AMAZING!! Luna was well taken care of. In addition, they provided us with tons of pictures and videos that showed Luna happy. She loved her two day playdate with the kids and their dog. Great communication. Will definitely be brining Luna back when we need the help. So thankful!”
“Lili and Matt did such a wonderful job watching our pooch. A+! Lili provided us with photos and video updates. Gave our dog (Koa) so much care and attention. I would definitely use them again. Thank you Lili & Matt.”
“Lauren took great care of my sweet old lady pup. She sent pictures and responded promptly if I had questions while away. My pup is blind and needs eyedrops, and I felt secure with Lauren watching her. 5 stars!”
“Dakota & Jaclyn took such great care of my little pup!! She had so much fun & came back home a very happy girl!! I cannot be say enough about this sweet couple! I will definitely be a return customer!!”

Ulmar dog parents share their Rover experiences
This is the second time I hired Kirsten & Kristian to dog sit for me. This time however my 2 yr old pup stayed with them. My younger dog was very scared and nervous. Kirsten/Kristian handled the situation like professionals! They gave me updates daily which made me feel comfortable. I really appreciate all they did to help Mika feel at home. I will definitely ask them to watch my fur babies again! If you need a trusted dog sitter hire them. They’re the BEST!!! Thank you again Kirsten and Kristian !!!
Shannon was great! Super accommodating, communicative and lovely. She took excellent care of my high maintenance frenchie, providing her with a safe and loving environment while she was in her care. Delta was treated like one of the family while she was there and enjoyed playing with Shannon’s son and all of the tummy rubs. I will definitely use Shannon again in the future.
Traci did a wonderful job with our older dog Yuffie. I felt bad that Yuffie had several accidents, but Traci had patience and was understanding. Traci seems to have a good sense of dogs and when she needs to intervene, which was important for us as Yuffie hasn't been very socialized, but she was able to have Yuffie feel comfortable with her other dogs, even though Yuffie is no-nonsense. This was my first time using home boarding, so I was very impressed and would definitely feel comfortable leaving Yuffie in her hands again.
Shree helped a lot with Piku. Pikus original stay had to be cancelled by the originally booked sitter because of family Issue. Shree stepped in and picked up Piku from the sitters homes, communicated very well with me and ensured Piku was well taken care of for the entire stay. I really appreciate it.
Thank you, Kim & Chris, for taking such great care of our little Mazzie. I have terrible anxiety leaving our rescue pup. But with your loving care, all of my anxiety went away knowing that Mazzie would be well cared for. We look forward to booking with you again.
Cierra took very good care of Leo. Right from the first time we went to drop off Leo, they were instant friends! It put us at ease as Leo was also recovering from a nasty insect bite with a healing wound. Leo had a great time at Cierra's place and we are very happy with the care she provided.
