“We had a wonderful experience with Ulunma. Our dog is very anxious and shy, and she took exceptional care of him. She sent regular updates and photos throughout our trip, which gave us so much peace of mind. When we picked him up, he looked happy, healthy, and well cared for—such a contrast to previous boarding experiences where he came home stressed and had lost weight. We’re incredibly grateful and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again.”
“We had a great sitting for our dog with Dylan during an overnight stay. Dylan is very prompt with his responses, and kept us posted with updates during the stay . We felt very comfortable leaving our fur baby with him. Will rebook Dylan again for sure.Thanks,Dylan !”
“Stefanie was so great with our boy. From the start she was super communicative and attentive to his needs. We got daily updates and she was flexible when we had some last minute change of plans. Overall I felt at ease knowing our boy was in good hands.”
“She’s the best caretaker! She looked after my kitty like her baby! I am super glad i found Ming here. I wish her all the very best and happiness! I would for sure recommend her to all. She was amazing at response and made sure she sent me enough pictures and videos to make sure i feel good about my Minnu. Thank you Ming for being an amazing host to my kitty! He misses you and the girls and sends loads of love for being there for him. Thank you and 100% if i have to do this again I’ll have you take care of my cat in the future. Thank you once again. You & girls be the bestest!”
“Natalie was amazing. She took such great care of my dog and kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that my dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. I really appreciate how reliable, kind, and attentive she was. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pet. Thank you so much! 🐾🩵”
“Ying is a wonderful dog sitter. She took care of our 75lbs Shepard mix and sent us fun photos and generally cared about his well being. We hope she’s available the next time we need a sitter!”
“This was a great experience!! This was the first time our dog stayed with someone we didn't know and Ruth made the process so easy. We felt so relaxed knowing our dog was not only well taken care of but loved! Ruth sent constant updates and photos to keep us informed. We would definitely return and highly recommend Ruth!!”
“Brayden and Noel were both amazing! I had to leave on a work trip and left my girl Skye with them for four days. When I picked her up, she was so happy and clearly very well taken care of.”
“Jake very much enjoyed his time with Chris. Jake was nervous at first, but Chris calmed him down within a few minutes. When I met Chris for a meet-and-greet with Jake, I knew he would be a competent caregiver for Jake and he didn't disappoint me.”
“Thank you, Max, Virginie and Louise for taking such good care of our beloved, Rosa. While only for an overnight, we could quickly see that she adjusted well. We'll be in touch again with plans for another visit! Thank you!”
“I booked Houda and her family for my wedding weekend. I have 2 cats and they did so good with them! I loved that they were completely separate from any other animals and I didn’t have to worry about them. They took care of them as they were their own. 10/10 sweetest family!”
“We had our dog, Athena, stay with James and family for a week and we couldn’t give him higher praise! From his communication, pictures and updates to his incredible property and backyard, we knew our dog was in great care. He arranged a meeting even before so Athena could check out where she would be staying and we got a sense of the care and love that he has for doing this. His children are kind and gentle and loved having our dog stay with them. James is open, communicative and compassionate and we are so grateful to have found him! The highest praise to James and his family and we will definitely be using his service again! Thanks for everything!”
About: We have spent years loving our own dogs, and honestly, we treat them better than we treat humans. :-) When your pup stays with us, they aren’t just being watched, they are joining a household, dedicated entirely to belly, rubs, naps, and maximum comfort. Since we have two little friendly dogs and a cat of our own, your pet will have a built-in social club and will never feel lonely. Since I already work out of the house and care for my own pets all day, adding your dog to the mix will fit seamlessly into our daily routine. I am constantly here to open doors, handout treats, and provide supervision making your dogs care, a natural extension of my everyday life. Our yard is completely fenced in with tons of room for your pup to burn off energy, sniff around and safely enjoy themselves. It’s a built-in dog park.
About: I am an insured pet care professional, and I bring the same kindness and thoughtfulness I would want someone to show my own pet. What sets me apart is that I’m dependable, attentive, and very detail-oriented. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality and routine, carefully follow your instructions, and keep you updated with plenty of photos and notes. My goal is simple: to help your pet feel safe, comfortable, loved, and genuinely well cared for whenever they’re with me. I cared for my own dog, Charlotte, for 10 years—from her puppy stage through her senior years—so I understand how much a dog’s needs can change over time. My experience with puppies began even earlier, when a neighbor who bred dogs trusted me to help care for her newborn litters. I understand the patience, consistency, and routine puppies need, including reinforcement of potty training, basic commands, leash manners, and good habits. I also know that senior dogs may need slower walks, extra time, and someone who pays attention to the little changes. I'm currently working part-time, so I will have the flexibility to walk your pet or drop in for your pet during the day while you are away. Looking forward to new clients! I currently provide care in my clients’ homes, where pets can remain comfortable in their familiar surroundings and routines. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions for walks, meals, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, preferences, and needs, keep their space tidy, and send photos and written updates after every visit. All dog walks are private and on leash. At this time, I do not offer care in my own home, overnight stays, transportation, or medication administration.
About: I've been around animals my entire life and understand that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. As a lifelong dog and cat lover and pet owner, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust when you're away. Our home is a safe, loving, and active environment where pets are treated like family. We have a secure fenced yard for supervised play, plenty of space to relax, and lots of attention throughout the day. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or curling up for belly rubs, we'll tailor their stay to help them feel comfortable and at home. I believe communication is just as important as great care, so you'll receive regular updates and photos while you're away, giving you peace of mind that your furry family member is happy, safe, and well cared for. My goal is simple: to provide a fun, stress-free experience for your pet and make them excited to come back for their next visit! Pet care fits naturally into our family's daily routine. I work a hybrid schedule and am only in the office three days a week, while my husband is in and out throughout the day, so there is typically someone home to provide attention, potty breaks, meals, and companionship. Our evenings are centered around walks, playtime, and quality time with the dogs, and we make sure they have plenty of opportunities to get outside and stay active throughout the day. On weekends, we're home more often, which means even more time for exercise, cuddles, and fun. We understand how important consistency is for pets, so we do our best to maintain each dog's normal routine and provide a safe, loving environment where they feel like part of the family. When pets stay in our home, they become part of the family. We have a fully fenced yard where they can safely play, explore, and enjoy supervised outdoor time. We also have a friendly, playful dog who loves having canine companions and helps visiting dogs feel welcome, while we always make sure introductions are done safely and at each dog's comfort level. We follow each pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special instructions or medications. Whether your dog is energetic and loves to play or prefers a quieter environment with extra cuddles, we tailor our care to meet their individual needs. Our goal is to provide a safe, fun, and loving home where your pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you're away. Regular photo and video updates are always included so you can enjoy peace of mind throughout their stay.
About: I have owned pets of diverse age and size, from litter age to senior dogs - their love is sublime, and their ask & needs endearing. I am a health care industry remote working professional who enjoys spending time with my senior pug, Ginger. My residence is on a 1 acre lot with a private valley, and controlled gated access. The house also has a hummingbird colony that calls it home for decades. I love to take Ginger for walks, and engage with other pet lovers, in a world where everyone is plugged into their devices. I recognize its a huge responsibility and an honor to take care of your pet. I also travel and the need to have a loving caring home for my pet has been a major area of concern. Pets are very sensitive to changes in their routine, and absence of their care provider, and need a caring home while they await your return. With that in mind, it's important to provide both comfort - food, rest, play time, bio breaks - and also reassurance in a moment that can be stressful. I recognize the need that disruptions can cause their bodily routines to change, and those moments need care and understanding. I am fine with that. I sincerely hope that when their stay with me is complete, and they are back in your arms, they look back with a wag, as they hop in the family car for the trip home.

“Stephanie is the best! I’m such a worry wart with my pets and I always trust her whenever we are away. She goes above and beyond. You can tell she truly loves the animals she watches.”
“Alexandra took wonderful care of my cat, Nala, over the holiday. She came by every day to give her medication, spend time with her, and make sure she was doing okay. Alexandra was reliable, easy to communicate with, and genuinely caring. I felt completely at ease knowing Nala was in her hands. I’d absolutely book with her again.”
“Fei is so kind, and she went above and beyond while caring for my cat. She is quick and thorough with communication, asks a lot of important questions, and makes sure to check in frequently. My cat absolutely loved her, and I could tell he was very well taken care of and loved while I was away. Also, my apartment and all of my cat's space/things were well-maintained and neat when I got back, which I appreciate so much. I would 100% ask Fei to watch my pet again in the future and would highly recommend booking her. Thank you, Fei!!! :)”
“Betsy stayed in our home for three weeks watching our two cats. The cats adored her and so did we! Great communication and updates. She took great vare of our home and we had peace of mind that our cats were in good hands during a severe heat wave. The cats received so much love and attention im definitely sure they missed her when her stay was over. Would def use Betsy again!”
“Lara did an amazing job with our drop-in visits! One of our cats was feeling sad and would hide when she came to visit, but Lara went the extra step to coax him out and make sure he was eating. She communicated beautifully, sent great updates, and was easy to work with. Highly recommend for drop-in care!”
About: My life has always been my dogs. I have been taking care of dogs and other pets my entire life and it's truly my life's purpose. I have experience with all breeds especially elderly chihuahuas and timid breeds. No breed is too difficult for me. I have experience with rescuing and fostering for the past 15 years as well as volunteering at shelters. I've been exposed to all different backgrounds, personalities, sizes and breeds. No matter what all dogs are good dogs it's just matter of giving them the attention they need and that's what I'm here to help you with! I'm an avid hiker and walker for my two boys and will customize play time and amount of exercise to your baby. I'll make sure you get pictures and updates and can promise I'll do anything to make sure you furry child has a doggone good time! I have a flexible schedule currently and will be attending school in the spring. At the moment I am available mostly between 11am-10 pm Monday-Saturday. I can do mornings on occasion or Sundays if necessary. Don't hesitate to ask and I will always see what I can do. My dogs get fed twice a day and get their preferred treats. They get daily walks and 2-3 hiking adventures a week. They are very different temperaments and energy so I am used to tailoring their exercise routine accordingly. I will care for your pets in a similar way or as needed and agreed upon during our communications. I am very in tune and attentive to what your pets needs are. I will respect the rules set forth by the client and most importantly make sure your pet is cared for and truly enjoyed their time. I will always do my best to leave your loved one in a better state than when I arrived making sure all their needs are met including any meds, feeding, treats, water and waste removal and exercise. If you have special requests please let me know.
“My fur babies loved Maya. She was great with them. Played with them, brushed the Maltipoo (whose fur tends to get tangled easily), cleaned up some accidents they had. They loved her from the first meet & greet! I have already booked Maya for my fur babies and will look forward to having her sit my pets in future too!!”
“I’d definitely recommend Catherine. We went on a long vacation to Europe and had Catherine drop in on our two cats every day. She looked after them so well, they are throughly spoilt and my anxious boy didn’t show any outward signs of being overly anxious (he has pulled his back fur out during previous trips. We will definitely be contacting Catherine when we atr looking for cat care in the future”
“Great experience. The cats were happy to see me but also looked great. One of them has a tendency to pull fur if he’s stressed or misses us, but his coat was still luscious and fully intact when we got home. They were well looked after”
About: I have two dogs of my own and have been pet sitting since I was 11. I’ve taken care of a wide variety of animals from dogs, cats, birds, turtles, fish and hamsters. I have experience training puppies and have been to many puppy training classes for my own dogs. I enjoy walking my dogs around my neighborhood and have experience walking other peoples dogs. I am a student currently so have plenty of availability! I can work around your schedule to help find a time that works best for you! I keep an around the clock watch on my clients dogs to ensure their safety and give them lots of love and play time to keep them happy and satisfied. I refill their water as needed and make sure to feed them as my clients have instructed me to. I usually take my clients dogs on walks in the morning and in the evening to keep them active and stimulated. This changes per client and their dogs needs. I can give medication to my clients dogs if they have any. If grooming and hygiene is requested by clients, I can fulfill their needs (ex: brushing, bathing, drying, brushing teeth).

“Rachael was punctual, great with communication, and took cute photos of our boys. She seems to have a lot of experience and wasn't intimidated by our younger dog that can be a handful. We look forward to having her come again!”
About: Growing up with an adorable mixed shelter dog and introducing an adopted King Charles Spaniel into the family, I learned how to care for both high and low energy dogs. Pet sitting for family and friends, I got to take care of puppies and senior dogs and learned the importance of a good schedule for things like naps and appropriate medications. My schedule is fairly open, primarily Monday through Friday, during the workweek, and is very flexible to make room for any walks, play time, or food breaks during the day. Pet safety is my top priority and ensuring a clean area is an important responsibility. I will provide personalized in-home care to keep your pets comfortable and entertained while they are in my care.
About: I grew up surrounded by animals, with a dad who’s a farmer and a home full of furry (and sometimes feathery) companions. From a young age, I dreamed of becoming a veterinarian, and while life took me down a different path, my love and passion for animals never changed. These days, I enjoy walking and carrying for dogs. There's something special about just being present with them. I’m also a proud mom to two animal-loving girls (ages 8 and 10), and together we dream of having a house full of animals... if only we had the space! I am self employed so I can set my own hours. I love to be outside. I walk my own dog everyday. Happy to take animals on walks, play with my own dog or even go on a hike. I live on ½ an acre with lots of grass and a fenced in backyard. We live right near the Iron Horse Trail so walks are encouraged. =)
About: I am a lifelong cat owner and lover. I am very familiar with their needs and enjoy spending time with them. I clean litter boxes daily, provide treats and play, and lots of pets if they are enjoyed or space if that is preferred.

“Jing was a lifesaver, available to watch our three year old English Cocker while we visited our grandchildren. She was waiting for us when we pulled up to her home and seamlessly watched him til we returned about 3 hours later. She sent fun pictures while taking care of him and Murphy seemed very happy when we picked him up. I definitely recommend Jing and will book her again!”
“Ulunma was incredibly flexible with her schedule to accommodate mine! She texted me pics and updates throughout my dogs stay and her husband and son were just as friendly. I felt super at ease leaving my baby in their care and would definitely recommend her!”
“Stefanie took amazing care of my sweet dog during a bout of IBS. She kept me up to date with lots of check ins and was super flexible when I needed to change dates. I cannot recommend Stefanie enough!”
“Aiko has been incredibly patient with our Millie, a rescue who takes a long time to warm up to new people. Aiko's warmth and genuine love for dogs is evident every time we interact with her. We feel so lucky to have found her!”
“Houda & Fawzi and their lovely family were fantastic with Zoe (3yo pit bull). Their children are amazing with the dogs and there’s so much of their property to roam for Zoe. Zoe was exhausted, well fed and much loved when she came home. Thanks!”

“Matthew was absolutely amazing with my Bear. I was initially a little nervous to hear how the first walk went given my dog’s fondness of squirrels. Matthew’s confidence, care and warmth toward Bear made him feel at home, like they have known each other forever. I highly recommend and plan on consistently booking. Thank you Matt!!”
“Nicole was a great day care for my dog today! We arranged a little meet and greet the weekend before, which was such an amazing touch. My doggy came back happy! I would definitely reach out to Nicole again :)”
“Mochi loved her time with Marien! We could tell she felt immediately at ease when we dropped her off (which is very unusual for Mochi) and appreciated the frequent photo updates throughout the stay. We will definitely be bringing her back for more walks and cuddles in the future!”
“JP did an amazing job with my husky on a last-minute request, he has a beautiful and safe house and large yard. He sent lots of photos so I could see how my boy was doing and I saw all of the activity he was getting with play time and walks. Their dog Arnold is clearly very friendly and was great company. Will rebook with confidence any time”
About: Hello! My name is Allie. I’m a lifelong dog lover, owner, and trainer. I come from Washington state where I was raised with dogs of all kinds. For the last few years, I professionally trained and also trained law-enforcement canines. I actively compete with my dog in a sport called Schutzhund. I am extremely confident with all kinds of dogs- from tiny ones, to the giant breeds! If you have a sport dog that you need handled by an experienced working dog handler, I can absolutely help you out. I am an extremely competent and safe handler and look forward to helping you out with your pups! Right now, I am a stay at home dog mom who is always training and working my dog. I have a highly flexible schedule and would love to help you out! I have an awesome yard that your dogs are welcomed to play in on a long line. I also have a very sweet intact male dog who is a friend to all, if your dog likes others! I have crates available if your dog needs one. I exercise and train my dog daily, so your dog’s needs can easily be tended to. I have plenty of experience with working dogs, so I understand the implications of handling them (detection, apprehension, sport). Your pup will be extremely safe and well cared for!
“I couldn't be happier with Monica, This is the third time I've used her services for my dog, and she continues to be absolutely wonderful. It’s such a relief knowing he’s in such capable and caring hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive pet sitter.”
“I reached out to Mia last minute as our regular sitter fell threw. She quickly responded to my request and was great with our maltipoo pups. They were calm and happy after we picked them up. Thank you, Mia!”
About: I have had pets since I was a child, including cats and dogs. My family and I have had our current cat and prior cats from kittens, and our Golden Retriever Arnold since he was a puppy. I have the option of working at home full-time, and spending time cuddling your fur baby or taking him or her for walks and/or runs. I have a fenced yard and a friendly golden to keep your dog entertained and show him/her the ropes. I am happy to have a lap dog, or a more active dog who likes to fetch, swim, walk, or run.
“We were worried about leaving our new puppy for the first time, but Alisha set up a Zoom so we could meet her the day before and it was immediately obvious that she would take great care of our little guy. Then, when we dropped him off, he practically jumped into her arms and made himself at home in the space she has set up which is perfect for doggy guests. She sent us updates and pics throughout the evening. We are very glad to have Alisha nearby for the future. I especially appreciate her depth of knowledge -- she is a great resource for those of us who have limited experience with raising puppies!”
About: Looking to connect with owners of sweet, gentle dogs! We have two small dogs who are very playful but not pushy, and we'd love to find compatible dog friends. I'm hoping to build a trusted circle where we can help each other with dog sitting when traveling. I can host up to two dogs at a time. Message me if you're interested! 🐾 Self-employed at home. I walk my dogs 2 times during the day and 1 more time before bed. A few times a week, I bring them to Civic Park to socialize with other dogs before dinner. Once a week, I drive them to a nearby nature reserve for a hike. I feed them breakfast and dinner. Same if not more care will be given to your doggies. There are two fenced dog parks in my building that are treated daily with enzymatic chemicals. If your dog has sensitive skin, I will not bring them there to potty.
“Alex is so dependable and responds quickly to inquiries. I have complete confidence in him and felt totally comfortable leaving Luna with him since our first booking. He provides updates frequently with photos and videos. Luna always had a blast when she is with Alex. He takes her on walks to the park, to play fetch, and keeps her entertained constantly. Alex is a gem!”

About: I've been a sitter on this platform for several years. Serving the California Bay Area, and internationally (Thailand and Japan so far!) I've had mostly small to medium dogs and cats for years as family pets, also have experience with chickens and rodents (my kids had pet rats for years). I do not currently have pets, as am doing the van life thing and don't feel it would be right to have my own pet at this time, however I truly miss having pets, prompting me to sign up for pet sitting! I'm currently retired-van living full time in the East Bay CA area, so right now just available for house/pet sitting & dog walking at your home.

“My German Shepard absolutely loves Katja. Katja is just amazing with him. He waits patiently at the door for her to show up to take him on walks every single time. It’s super adorable! Katja is so kind, fun and responsible. We love her and feel so lucky to have found her.”
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, especially those who need patience, structure, and understanding. I have a strong background in caring for both young, high-energy dogs and senior pets who require a gentler, more attentive approach. Over the years, I’ve adopted and cared for shelter dogs, including one of my most meaningful experiences: transforming my 3-year-old German Shepherd who came from an abusive and neglected background. She was fearful, submissive, and untrained when I first brought her home. Through consistent training, positive reinforcement, and a calm, stable environment, she gradually became a confident, obedient, affectionate, and deeply trusting companion. She is now 15 years old and remains a living example of the patience and care I bring to every animal I work with. This experience has taught me how to read animal behavior, build trust with nervous or reactive dogs, and adapt care to each pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s helping a young dog learn structure and good habits or providing comfort and routine for senior dogs, I focus on creating a safe, loving, and balanced environment where every pet feels secure and understood. I pick up shifts bartending but I cant adjust my schedule around sitting others dogs. I will be free when needed so no worries there. I have a nice size balcony but that the dogs can hangout on if they would like but i also take my girl out often.
About: Experienced with petsitting for various friends and family over the years; I am a longtime animal lover and would love to meet your pup! My schedule is very flexible and accommodating My work schedule is flexible currently, with full availability wednesday and thursday. Available to work both mornings and evenings for the majority of days in the week I currently care for a 6 year old german shepherd, and have years of experience caring for dogs and cats! I am responsible and diligent and will care for your pets as if they were my own :)
About: I have had dogs my entire life and several cats in my earlier years. I love animals and would love to help you with your furry friends. I am not currently working so I do have more free time to help out. I do have an older dog but she is a big sleeper so not as much energy. I would care for the pets as if they were my own. Giving them all the love and attention they need. Walks or trips to the park, or just simply being there for company.

“We had a wonderful experience with Ulunma. Our dog is very anxious and shy, and she took exceptional care of him. She sent regular updates and photos throughout our trip, which gave us so much peace of mind. When we picked him up, he looked happy, healthy, and well cared for—such a contrast to previous boarding experiences where he came home stressed and had lost weight. We’re incredibly grateful and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again.”
“Peter is very kind and easy to communicate and work with. Peter is accessible and transparent while you’re away, which takes one important task off your plate when traveling for work. I could tell Ziba had a great time given her excitement to play with Peter when we picked her up. Thanks, Peter. 🙏🏼”
“Stefanie was so great with our boy. From the start she was super communicative and attentive to his needs. We got daily updates and she was flexible when we had some last minute change of plans. Overall I felt at ease knowing our boy was in good hands.”
“Ying is a wonderful dog sitter. She took care of our 75lbs Shepard mix and sent us fun photos and generally cared about his well being. We hope she’s available the next time we need a sitter!”
“This was a great experience!! This was the first time our dog stayed with someone we didn't know and Ruth made the process so easy. We felt so relaxed knowing our dog was not only well taken care of but loved! Ruth sent constant updates and photos to keep us informed. We would definitely return and highly recommend Ruth!!”
“My family and I are so thankful for the quality of care provided to our little dog. Margy was so attentive and caring and we have no doubt that he was offered the very best attention during his stay. Updates were provided along the way, which we really appreciated. Would definitely recommend Margy and family for doggy care.”
“I was grateful for Jennifer for taking Toby on a short notice. Our pup enjoyed the slumber party with her daughters. Beautiful home with a big backyard where he can roam around safely. He enjoyed the walk with their dog, Arnold. He felt right at home with her family as I see on her photos she sent me. I could tell Toby felt good and calm as we left her house. I’m glad I found her. I’ll definitely use her again. I appreciate you Rover to have found Jennifer and her wonderful family! ❤️”
“Lexie was well understood and well cared for. I couldn’t have asked for more! Our dog is a tricky one with senior issues but Trisha and her family knew just how to address her difficulties and make her happy and comfortable. She fit right in with their family! I’m very grateful to Trish and I highly recommend her.”
“Jake very much enjoyed his time with Chris. Jake was nervous at first, but Chris calmed him down within a few minutes. When I met Chris for a meet-and-greet with Jake, I knew he would be a competent caregiver for Jake and he didn't disappoint me.”
“Thank you, Max, Virginie and Louise for taking such good care of our beloved, Rosa. While only for an overnight, we could quickly see that she adjusted well. We'll be in touch again with plans for another visit! Thank you!”
“I booked Houda and her family for my wedding weekend. I have 2 cats and they did so good with them! I loved that they were completely separate from any other animals and I didn’t have to worry about them. They took care of them as they were their own. 10/10 sweetest family!”
“We had our dog, Athena, stay with James and family for a week and we couldn’t give him higher praise! From his communication, pictures and updates to his incredible property and backyard, we knew our dog was in great care. He arranged a meeting even before so Athena could check out where she would be staying and we got a sense of the care and love that he has for doing this. His children are kind and gentle and loved having our dog stay with them. James is open, communicative and compassionate and we are so grateful to have found him! The highest praise to James and his family and we will definitely be using his service again! Thanks for everything!”
“Jess did an amazing job watching my dog, Thor! She kept me updated with regular photos and messages, which made me feel really comfortable while I was away. It was clear Thor was well cared for and happy the entire time. Communication was smooth and consistent, and I really appreciated the extra effort she put in. I would absolutely trust Jess to watch Thor again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Best Rover experience that I've had to date! Angela, Randall, and family were wonderful. We received a lot of pictures while we were gone and the dogs looked so happy. The backyard is perfect for fur babies, and they received a lot of exercise on wonderful hikes! Our dogs were gassed when we got home and slept like babies. I will definitely book again!”
About: We have spent years loving our own dogs, and honestly, we treat them better than we treat humans. :-) When your pup stays with us, they aren’t just being watched, they are joining a household, dedicated entirely to belly, rubs, naps, and maximum comfort. Since we have two little friendly dogs and a cat of our own, your pet will have a built-in social club and will never feel lonely. Since I already work out of the house and care for my own pets all day, adding your dog to the mix will fit seamlessly into our daily routine. I am constantly here to open doors, handout treats, and provide supervision making your dogs care, a natural extension of my everyday life. Our yard is completely fenced in with tons of room for your pup to burn off energy, sniff around and safely enjoy themselves. It’s a built-in dog park.
About: I've been around animals my entire life and understand that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. As a lifelong dog and cat lover and pet owner, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust when you're away. Our home is a safe, loving, and active environment where pets are treated like family. We have a secure fenced yard for supervised play, plenty of space to relax, and lots of attention throughout the day. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or curling up for belly rubs, we'll tailor their stay to help them feel comfortable and at home. I believe communication is just as important as great care, so you'll receive regular updates and photos while you're away, giving you peace of mind that your furry family member is happy, safe, and well cared for. My goal is simple: to provide a fun, stress-free experience for your pet and make them excited to come back for their next visit! Pet care fits naturally into our family's daily routine. I work a hybrid schedule and am only in the office three days a week, while my husband is in and out throughout the day, so there is typically someone home to provide attention, potty breaks, meals, and companionship. Our evenings are centered around walks, playtime, and quality time with the dogs, and we make sure they have plenty of opportunities to get outside and stay active throughout the day. On weekends, we're home more often, which means even more time for exercise, cuddles, and fun. We understand how important consistency is for pets, so we do our best to maintain each dog's normal routine and provide a safe, loving environment where they feel like part of the family. When pets stay in our home, they become part of the family. We have a fully fenced yard where they can safely play, explore, and enjoy supervised outdoor time. We also have a friendly, playful dog who loves having canine companions and helps visiting dogs feel welcome, while we always make sure introductions are done safely and at each dog's comfort level. We follow each pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special instructions or medications. Whether your dog is energetic and loves to play or prefers a quieter environment with extra cuddles, we tailor our care to meet their individual needs. Our goal is to provide a safe, fun, and loving home where your pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you're away. Regular photo and video updates are always included so you can enjoy peace of mind throughout their stay.
About: I have been privileged to share over three decades of my life in the companionship of dogs and cats. Whether your pet needs walks or playtime while you’re away for the day, or a safe space for overnight care, I would be happy to love and pamper them as if they were my own. I have experience with pets of all ages and am comfortable administering oral and injectable medications, if needed. I also volunteer with NorCal GSP Rescue and have experience with post-surgery care. . I work from home M-F and have flexibility in my schedule. I am open to early morning or late night walks or drop-in visits in the event that you have an atypical work week. I have two pets in my home, a 12 yr old German Shorthaired Pointer (Sophie) and a 7 yr old Sphynx cat (Zelda). Both are friendly with other animals.
