“Megan and Jenny were fantastic! They communicated multiple updates throughout the day — every day, and multiple times — with photos. They made sure Pancho was well taken care of and enjoyed a variety of activities. They were responsive, attentive, and kind. Drop-off and pick-up were efficient. Highly recommend — we’ll definitely be repeat customers.”
“Alex kept my golden retriever for a week and left me feeling GREAT about the boarding. From the daily pix & videos, it seemed that Alex integrated Mika into her family life completely, even having her at their backyard easter egg hunt! Mika got lots of play time & tons of petting, played with her daughters at the playground across the street, and did her napping right under Alex's feet when she was working. Such a great feeling to know your dog is well cared for when away. Thanks so much Alex!”
“What a wonderful experience! Amanda and Chris took such great care of my special needs pup, and really brought him in as part of their family. They sent lots of photos to keep me in the loop which I loved. I would absolutely trust them to take care of my big buddy any time :)”

“Arryonna was absolutely amazing!! She took great care of our wild puppy for a whole weekend. She updated me daily with pics & videos. We met ahead of time to be sure everything felt comfortable when introducing our pup to her own animals. I can’t say enough good things about our experience”
“Chantel was a wonderful dogsitter/boarder! She was prompt in her responses meeting up and she gave frequent photos/videos of our fur baby. She let us know about the kinds of antics Buttercup and her dog, Spartan got up to. And the two dogs became great friends! Would recommend her 100000000%!!”
“Inkoo was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of our dog Pancho—sending us daily updates with multiple photos and thoughtful notes that really put our minds at ease while we were away. She communicated clearly and consistently, and it was clear from the pictures that Pancho was happy, well cared for, and having a great time—especially at the dog parks she took him to! Inkoo is warm, reliable, and incredibly detail-oriented. We’re so grateful to have found her and will definitely consider her again for any future pet sitting needs.”
“Chad was really great with our 2 year old boxer. Fast communication, pictures and updates everyday, and it was clear our dog enjoyed her stay - which was important because she can get separation anxiety. Thanks so much, Chad!”
“Baxter had a great first stay with Kristen and Ryan! He took advantage of various comfy lounging spots in their home as well as sunbathing in their backyard. Baxter was in great shape when I returned. Kristin and Ryan are very friendly and kind, and their communications were clear throughout. I received updates with pictures at least once a day, as requested. I greatly appreciated their flexibility to extend Baxter's stay a bit and coordinate a different pickup arrangement when my trip plans changed. I would certainly book with them again!”
“Meera was great and professional. She was very communicative and always sent photos of my dog the whole time, I really appreciate it. She was very sweet and gentle with jazz and took her on walks and hikes. I would recommend to anyone”
“Truly such a great experience for my dog. Stephanie was so nice and flexible with my schedule. I needed a last min booking and Stephanie truly went above and beyond to help accommodate and give my dog a great time. She exposed my pup to some new activities, like bike riding, which he loved!! It was also my pups birthday when she took care of him and she even gave him a little homemade peanut butter lick mat to celebrate. You won’t regret booking with Stephanie if you’re looking for someone to treat your pup like her own! :)”
“Buster had a great time staying with Faye. As an older dog with some anxiety I came in a little nervous, but Faye took terrific care of him! I especially enjoyed the updates every day that included multiple pictures while we were gone.”
“Rachel is a terrific dog sitter! She is very responsive and communicative, and my dog had a great time with her and her dog. I appreciated the photos and videos of their beautiful hikes and play time.”
“Madeleine was again a great sitter for our very high anxiety dog. She made him feel right at home snuggled under the blankets and soaking up the sun! Always friendly, flexible, and punctual!”
“Sherry is an AMAZING dog sitter!! I trusted her to care for my sweet but nervous 50lb girl, Ellie, and I could not have asked for a better sitter. Sherry was so thorough, she sent plenty of updates throughout and put me at ease! She was super responsive to my dog’s needs, and I could see Ellie just melting and falling in love with her through the updates. She’s got a lovely, clean and safe apartment and she is obviously someone who knows dogs well. I would trust Sherry with dog sitting ANY day! Highly recommend.”

“Lucy was absolutely wonderful! She was communicative throughout the entire booking—quick to respond and always kept us updated with the cutest photos. She followed all instructions carefully, and my cat HaoHao was happy and well cared for. We felt at ease knowing Lucy was looking after her. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Jana did a great job caring for our cats. She is punctual, earnest, took great photos…it’s obvious she loves cats. We would highly recommend Jana and will gladly use her services again in the future🙂”
“We could not be more pleased with the excellence of Eleanna's cat care. We returned to two happy and healthy cats and a tidy home. She handled a complex feeding routine complete with medications. My cats love to play, one loves to eat and one resists eating, and most importantly, they want a lap. Eleanna provided all this and lots of photos along with the way. We found her to be intelligent, kind, and patient; even staying later into the night when our flight placed us way behind schedule. I also appreciated her willingness to ask questions to make sure she got things right. I'm grateful for a vacation with peace of mind.”
“Alice was everything we could ask for! She gave us peace of mind while we were away on vacation because we knew our two cats were in the best hands. We really appreciated her warm and caring personality, excellent communication, detailed reports, photos, promptness, attention to detail...I could go on and on about how happy we are to have found Alice! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to take care of their pets.”
“As always, Maggie takes great care of my senior cat Sammie. She knows cats and cats behavior very well and keeps my mind at ease while I am away from home. Sammie appreciates Maggie’s attention to details and play time!”
“Sydney was terrific! She took great care of my cats and provided pictures and feedback every day. We were able to relax, and enjoy our vacation knowing our kitties were in great hands with Sydney. I recommend her highly, and will definitely book her again!”
“Suzanne took great care of my two cats, including giving medication twice per day and making sure the boys had a lot of different play opportunities. I’d have no concerns booking Suzanne again!”

“Erika was amazing with my new pup Goldie. I was super nervous about sending her to day care having spent every waking hour with her since I brought her home almost a month ago. Erika was communicative, understanding, and compassionate about my fears. She was willing to do a meet and greet prior to and I was able to see how Goldie immediately became comfortable with Erika and Magda her friendly pup. Getting updates throughout the day made me happy to know things were going well. When I brought Goldie home she was worn out and ready for a good nights sleep having burned off her daytime energy. Let’s just say we’ll most definitely be going back to Auntie Erika’s as I’ve affectionately named her!”
“I decided to use Charlene's doggy day care service for our beloved Luna for the first time. Over the course of two days, Charlene demonstrated great flexibility by accommodating my specific drop-off time. Throughout Luna's stay, Charlene consistently shared updates and adorable photos, which really put my mind at ease while we were attending an event. I highly recommend Charlene's pet care service to anyone in search of exceptional care for their furry friends.”
“My skittish large breed puppy was very happy in Toon's care. He really is excellent with dogs and dogs love him as well. He took him out on plenty of walks and time at the dog parks. Will certainly recommend him and we will be going to him a lot more in the future. We are so lucky he is in our area.”
“Alejandra is a fantastic sitter! We picked up our little girl happy and jolly after a day with her. I cannot thank her and her husband enough ❤️ she sent constant photos ,videos and updates throughout the day. Also, their puppy Nemo is adorable and so very friendly. If you want to have piece of mind about your dog knowing they'll be safe while having a great time, Alejandra is your sitter!”
“Angel was such a wonderful sitter, and a complete lifesaver! We needed care last minute and she was available. For our first time using Rover, I could not have asked for such a wonderful person. I'm so grateful for her constant communication and reassurance that our Tempi was doing good. Highly recommend her! And if available would love to continue having Tempi stay with her.”
About: Take care of dogs part time for friends for many years. I have formed special bonds with them and love to see their excitement when they come over. No one throws a party for you when you get home like a dog. I love training puppies and taking them for walks and playing with them as well. I work/consult from home, occasionally need to leave for a couple hours to go to the gym or the store. I’m pretty active and like to go on daily walks. I’m willing to come over and take your dog out for a walk if they are comfortable with me doing so. If you’re able to bring the dogs to my home for an extended stay, I will provide a loving safe environment for them, with frequent potty breaks and one to two long walks per day. I’ll follow your instructions on what is best for your pet.
“Faye was great! Our dog Zuma spent the day with her. She sent us photos throughout the day and kept his posted on how he’s doing. We are excited to have her watch Zuma again for an upcoming trip!”

“Jenny was great with my two pups, Chewy and Lumi. They've spent time overnight while I work and it's such a comfort knowing they're well cared for. She gave me updates on how they were doing and they seemed very happy when I picked them up in the morning.”
“Tamara is wonderful with my pup. She’s flexible which works great with my schedule. Ruby loves going to her & her dog Finn. We’re happy to be repeat customers.”
“Michelle & Mandar were so patient helping our young terrier mix get used to daycare for the first time. They sent reassuring pictures and videos or her playing with another dog and getting pets from the family. We are hoping to rebook for boarding in the future!”
“Brittany was really nice and our dog Burt seemed to do really well with her! At drop off he just went right with her! He got a few walks in and got along with Brittany's dog Basco. Burt generally prefers chill-er companions and it seems like Basco was that. Would definitely return to Brittany for future care.”
“Chad took excellent care of my young and energetic greyhound with a lot of separation anxiety. When I picked her up she was happy and excited, but she didn’t show any signs of distress. Prior to my dog’s stay at his home Chad had invited us over for a meet&greet and he took a lot of time to inquire about my dog’s character and behaviors, which made me very confident that things would be alright. Chad was also willing to accommodated my travel schedule. I am happy with the experience and hope he will be available next time I have to go out of town.”
“Baxter had a great day with Kim and her human and dog crew. :) She sent pics with fun commentary several times (much appreciated -- especially on the first day!. Baxter was wiped out in the evening after a day of play. Kim is clearly a pro at dog care. She was very engaged in our meet and greet and asked lots of good questions. She's very pleasant to chat with and communicates proactively. Looking forward to Baxter's next stay!”
About: I've grown up with dogs and cats my whole life! I've recently adopted a new cat, Beef, who is a darling. I have experience birthing and raising puppies. I love bringing my dogs for walks, hikes, runs and playing fetch. I'm always active because I'm a college athlete. I'll make sure to take great care of your family animals while you're away and provide them lots of love, attention and activity! I'm a college student home for the summer, taking online summer classes. I have plenty of time to care for animals! I stay very active throughout the day so I have the capacity to walk, run and play with the animals. I'm able to be very attentive with animals because I'm close to home often. I have two fenced yards with plenty of room for dogs! Lots of toys, balls, extra leashes and bowls! I have dogs of my own that can either be socialized or separated from your pets. I live near a park and like to take the dogs out.

“Eleanna is a fantastic Pet Care provider. She understands animals. I trusted her inherently the first time I met her. She has been caring for my animals while I’ve been away and I feel completely confident and safe with them in her care. My dog is learning from a recent training on leash reactivity and she worked well with Java in my absence. Java dog made progress! Thank you Eleanna”
About: I have over 6 years of experience as a cat & dog owner. Raised my own dog from a puppy (she’s now a happy 3-year-old Corgi!) and cared for two cats for several years also. I’m well versed in everything from high energy puppy play to the quiet, patient approach many cats prefer. I also have experience fostering dogs with complex behavioral needs, like those struggling with 'stranger danger' and anxiety. I know that building trust takes time & a calm presence. I take care of mine, and others’ furbabies as if they were my own children. As a college student that has classes online, my schedule can be quite flexible. I am happy & willing to work with clients to best help with what they need. Safety is super important to me (as it should be) because I understand you are entrusting me with basically your child. I am very attentive & vigilant. Always keeping an eye on your pet to make sure they are safe, and they’re surroundings are safe for them.

“Iryna did a wonderful job while we were away for a few weeks. She was easy to coordinate with and Otto was so excited to see her for his designated walk times. We would absolutely reach out to her again if we ever need a dog walker.”
About: I am very attentive to the needs of your pets, especially if they are older and slower, but I also enjoy energetic puppies and pets that need some training and just need some positive re-enforcement. I am available to House sit - although I don't know how to reflect that on the website. I actively practice positive reinforcement obedience training. My schedule is open now in general but I may do a retreat every so often. I nearby in the Bay Area, my schedule is more flexible. I prefer to care for pets in their own homes, since I live in a small place. I am attentive to the needs of the pet and if I see that the pet needs exercise, I make sure they get sufficient exercise through their regular routines.
“Heather has done a great job walking my dog, Ranger. She is very dependable and lets me know right away if there are any concerns. She is also very responsive. Heather has been great when she dog sat for me too. Ranger is always very excited to see her!”
About: I have had my own sweet pup for over 14 years. Assisted heavily during some of the major fires in northern California over the years, working with several professional animal rescue teams. Love dogs of all shapes and sizes just out here hoping to help as many pups as possible. Recently relocated to the Bay Area & while looking for my next full time opportunity decided to lean into some of my passions. Dogs being #1! If I can do that through this app while bringing in a little cash on the side, what could be better? Currently available full time. I’m very active so love taking walks. (My senior dog has slowed down so I’m missing a walking buddy.) I do have a small fenced backyard with grass. Our house is very dog friendly.
“Sydney was incredible with our Waldo! Our pup often walks better with another doggy friend, and Sydney was open and flexible with scheduling a meet up for our dogs in advance of the week I desperately needed some dog walking help. She included lots of photos & updates and was reliable. My dog always seemed her happiest self when I got home after a long day. 10/10 would book again!!!”
“Alice does a great job of keeping us posted on how the animals are doing and seems to really love spending time with them. Having Alice taking care of our babies really makes me feel a lot more at ease when we travel.”
About: i get along easy with dogs, as much i love being around with cats. i used to watch my sister’s dog. i’ll take him to a park or for a walk, sometimes i’ll bring him while i do my errands. A little companion. i’m currently working a part-time job, i’m off wednesdays and fridays. i usually work night shifts on the days. i could do drop in visit/dog sitting in the mornings after 3pm. i used to have a cat for little white but i had to give him away, unfortunately. i also just recently moved out from my parents and they don’t allow cats. However i’ve always made sure my cat was being fed well and always clean. he was a poop stomper. So i had to clean him all times.
About: I’m a huge animal lover and used to run a grooming salon/daycare and hotel. As a former cat mom, I know how important a good sitter is! If my calendar doesn’t show the day you need, please reach out because it could be a booking error. I look forward to meeting you! I currently work full time but am hoping to build a big enough clientele here that I can do this only. Right now I can watch on my off days (Saturday night to Monday) or if they’re able to stay home alone during the day, I can watch any day of the week. I have a spacious home in a safe neighborhood. We have two beautiful gardens for quick breaks and are nearby parks for more space if needed.

“This is our 3rd time boarding our furbaby with Jessie, I don't think you could find a better dog sitter than her and Cade and of course Eta too. They are so loving and thoughtful and will do everything they possibly can to ensure your dog is in the most loving hands. If you are looking for someone to spoil your pup while you are away, don't look any further!”

“I had such a great experience boarding my dog, Skye, over Thanksgiving week. From start to finish, the care was outstanding. Skye immediately felt comfortable, and I could tell he was in good hands the entire time. I received regular updates, including photos and messages, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. The environment was clean, safe, and welcoming, and it was clear that Skye was treated like part of the family. He came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. I highly recommend Astrid to anyone looking for reliable, caring, and attentive dog boarding. I’ll definitely book again in the future!”

About: I’ve grown up with cats and kittens my whole life and continued adopting them as an adult — animals have always been at the heart of my home! I’ve raised and trained a puppy from 8 weeks old, cared for up to 3 medium-sized dogs at a time, and have experience housing and caring for rabbits, birds, and reptiles too. 🐶🐱🐰🦜🐸🦎 Your pet will be welcomed into a warm, loving home where they’ll be treated like family! I’m also a pet parent myself — my 1-year-old pup and 9-year-old cat are both incredibly friendly with people and other animals and absolutely love making new friends. They’re always excited to welcome new furry guests! 🐕🐈 I believe pet sitting is so much more than just filling a food bowl twice a day — it’s about being real company for your pet. Surrounded by cozy blankets, their favorite toys from home, and plenty of love, your pet will feel comfortable and right at ease from the moment they arrive. I’m happy to provide multiple daily walks and plenty of undivided attention throughout the day!
