“This was our puppy’s very first time being boarded, and I was honestly quite nervous at the beginning. Queenie&Yu-Chieh made the whole experience so easy and gave us so much peace of mind. Communication was great from the start — she asked thoughtful questions about his routine, food, and quirks, and throughout the stay she sent lots of photos and updates so we always knew how he was doing. Our puppy is still young and full of energy, which definitely means extra work (potty breaks, training, supervision, etc.), but she handled him with so much patience and kindness. Her home is clean, safe, and very dog-friendly, and her own dog Summer was gentle and welcoming with our boy. When we picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly very comfortable with her and her home. We’re very grateful to have found Queenie & Yu-Chieh and would absolutely book with her again. I highly recommend her to anyone, especially if you have a dog boarding for the first time — she truly made us feel safe and well taken care of.”
“Jax had a great time! Minh sent updates and pictures throughout. She let me know that he was doing well through the July 4th fireworks which gave us piece of mind that he felt comfortable.”
“We just picked up our 10 years old border collie Lucky after a 6 day 5 nights stay. It is a pity the highest rating is only 5 stars, to Lucky, Juanyi's service is 10 stars. My border collie does not like strangers in the beginning, but he allows Juanyi pet him in just a few hours. I could see from many pictures and videoes that my boy enjoys the friendship from Kaka, Panda and other lovely guests, also enjoys the love from Juanyi. I feel my boy is having a great vacation of his own too. I always hesitate to sign up family vacation because find a reliable dog sitter is often a difficult task, the last 3 dog sitter we used were moved or no longer offer service. I am glad we found Juanyi and the experience is so great. I read every review when i look for any kind of service, and by the time we book the service, there was only one review, to be honest i was a bit uncertain. During the met and greet, we walked around the neighborhood together, I was so glad Lucky quickly developped friendship with Kaka and Panda, and the drop off session was also great, which allow me to join the family vacation. We will definitely book with Juanyi again for our future vacations, and recommend to every pet parents, my Lucky was treated like Juanyi's own, yours will too!❤️”
“Appreciated the pics to share our dogs activities and socialization with other guest. Our dog also need medication which was given timely. Want to thank Rachel for caring for our dog as we were away.”
“Jocelyn was a wonderful companion for our dog Norman. He took to her right away and seemed immediately comfortable in her home. He had a spacious yard to explore and a warm sunny porch to nap on. We got regular updates and felt at ease knowing he was well cared for. We will happily reach out to Jocelyn again for sitting services.”

“Christopher and his wife took such great care of our dog Zoey while we were away. We got text updates on how she was doing and photos and videos too! It helped us feel at ease knowing she was well taken care of. The meet and greet before hand helped to confirm our decision to book with them and we are so glad we did!”
“My experience with Leah was great. She was very kind and accommodating with me & my 12yr old Jack Russell. My dog needed not just boarding but to take his meds. She also kept me at ease by sending me some pics. I am very grateful.”

“Michelle is the ideal temp parent for your pets! She is so experienced, caring and sweet. My cat has spent very happy time with her. I highly recommend Michelle to anyone who needs help talking care of their furry kids.”
“Adriana was the absolute sweetest to my dog, Max! She played with her, took her on walks, and kept me updated by sending me pictures and videos. It was my first time using Rover and I’m so happy of this first successful experience.”
“I left my little man in Son’s care and I’m so glad I did. He was exceptional from the start. Very accommodating and such a great communicator from setting up an initial meet and greet to the periodic updates during the stay. He went above and beyond and showed a level of care that helped my dog feel at home in a new environment. He took my man on multiple walks and kept him engaged to help him from feeling home sick. I believe Son is a natural caretaker and any pet would be blessed to be in his care.”
“Jaynee cared for my elderly dog, Hershey, for five days while we were on vacation. As this was Hershey’s first time being boarded and in the care of someone unfamiliar, I was initially quite concerned. However, Jaynee exceeded all expectations. She provided outstanding care and kept us updated daily on Hershey’s well-being, which gave me peace of mind and allowed us to fully enjoy our time away. I would not hesitate to book her services again in the future. Thank you, Jaynee, for ensuring Hershey was in such capable and caring hands!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Xeno received! Boris and Olga sent great updates and photos that kept us at ease. Xeno came back super happy and clearly well-rested—we’ll definitely be booking with them again.”
“Jiapeng and his wife were very good host to Nikko. They provided constant updates with photos and videos. I highly recommend them. They have a dog that was a little jealous of Nikko but they made sure that the dogs were separated in the house during the stay.”
“**⭐️ 5 Stars – Amazing Dog Sitter! ⭐️** I couldn’t be happier with the care Mary provided for Kajree! From the very beginning, Mary was attentive, loving, and truly went above and beyond to make sure my pup felt safe, happy, and well-cared for. Almost daily updates (including adorable photos and videos!) gave me so much peace of mind while I was away, and it was clear Kajree had a great time with them. Whether it was walks, being goofy, or being cared for as a senior dog, Mary and her kids treated my dog like their family. I highly recommend Mary to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely caring sitter. Thank you for everything—we’ll definitely be booking again! 🐾❤️”
“Finding TR was truly one of the best things that’s ever happened to us! This was our second time booking with her, and this time she cared for our cat for almost a full month while we were away on our honeymoon. She sent daily updates with photos and videos, and it gave us so much peace of mind. We could tell our cat felt comfortable, loved, and truly cared for the entire time. TR is reliable, communicative, and treats your pet like her own. We honestly can’t imagine traveling without her. We’re beyond grateful and highly recommend booking with her — your fur baby will be in amazing hands! 💕🐾”
“Ezra took great care of our dog, Hayes! We were hesitant to use someone new, especially over the holidays but she gave us the peace of mind we needed. She gave us regular updates about him every day and let us know how he was doing with the other dogs. Hayes had such a great stay and made new friends! We will definitely be booking with Ezra again in the future!”
“Hachi had a great time there! Alicia was very accommodating and helpful when answering questions. Would definitely recommend her for anyone who wants to board their dogs. She even helped Hachi with his meds which is a big help. Thanks again Alicia!”

She was thoughtful enough to bring in our Amazon packages as well! Defintiely would rebook with Joleen”

About: With over 8 years of experience caring for cats, including fostering kittens and adult cats, I’ve developed a deep understanding of feline behavior and needs. I’ve cared for cats with a wide range of personalities—from shy rescues to energetic kittens—and always tailor my approach to each cat’s comfort level. My experience includes feeding routines, administering medication, litter box maintenance, and providing enrichment through play and affection. Creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment is always my top priority
“Catherine took such good care of our two bunnies while we were on vacation! This was my first time using Rover, and she helped make the process super easy. She was so patient and kind (even when the bunnies made a big mess!) She also provided thorough updates, lots of photos, and sweet notes that we really appreciated. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter! Thank you so much Catherine!”
About: I grew up surrounded by cats and have over 20 years of experience caring for them. While I would love to have a cat of my own, I discovered my husband is allergic! To keep him (and my two friendly dogs) happy, I save all my "cat love" for my clients. I truly miss the companionship of cats, which is why I treat every drop-in visit like I’m visiting my own pet. Whether your cat is a social butterfly who wants to play or a shy soul who just needs a quiet presence while they eat, I am patient and attentive to their unique personality. During my visit, I provide: • Fresh Food & Water: Following your exact schedule and portions. • Litter Box Maintenance: Keeping their space clean and tidy. • Play & Cuddles: Using their favorite toys or just offering some chin scratches. • Home Security: I’m happy to bring in mail or water plants while I’m there! I can't wait to meet your kitty and give them the attention they deserve while you're away!
About: I have looked after my 7-year-old cat for six years and have experience pet sitting for other cats, providing consistent feeding, litter box care, playtime, and gentle supervision. I am also familiar with dogs and have walked them before. I love meeting new pets, and I naturally connect with animals—almost every cutie cat that I meet seems to like me right away.
About: I have a lifelong passion for caring for cats, starting from my childhood with my beloved cat, who taught me the importance of attention and love in pet care. I took on various responsibilities, including cleaning his litter box and ensuring he received the best care possible until he passed away. Currently, I assist my sister with her three cats, where I help with feeding, cleaning their litter boxes, and providing companionship. What sets me apart from other sitters is not just my familiarity with feline needs, but also my commitment to maintaining a clean and healthy environment for them. I take pride in my deep-cleaning routine for litter boxes, ensuring a fresh and odor-free space. Additionally, I have experience in administering medications and observing behaviors to ensure their health and happiness. My passion for cats drives me to go above and beyond in providing exceptional care.
“Yifei is incredibly attentive, patient, and detail-oriented. She did a meet-and-greet in advance and communicated clearly, which made the whole experience very reassuring. She got along wonderfully with my cat and took great care of him. I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her!”

About: I care for a small group at a time so each dog gets plenty of supervision, play, and rest. I’m very patient with shy, anxious, and senior dogs, and I’m experienced with puppies—including potty routines, basic manners, and crate training support. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, energy level, and comfort, and I adjust care as needed. Safety and communication are a top priority for me, and I always keep owners updated so they can feel confident and at ease while they’re away. My schedule is built around feeding times, potty breaks, play sessions, walks, and rest periods to make sure each pet gets consistent care and attention throughout the day. I work from home, which allows me to closely supervise pets, keep them on their normal routines, and adjust care based on their energy level or needs. This consistency helps pets feel comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for while their owners are away. I follow each pet’s routine to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. In my home, pets enjoy supervised playtime, regular potty breaks, walks, and safe play in my fenced backyard, along with plenty of rest. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely and provide updates so owners can feel confident their pet is well cared for.
“I’m so grateful I found her! I needed a sitter at the last minute due to an emergency and wasn’t have the opportunity to do the usual meet-and-greet beforehand. She understood my situation right away from my message and graciously agreed to help. From the moment Snow arrived, I could tell she was in caring hands. Not only did she take wonderful care of her, but her husband was also involved and treated Snow with so much love and attention. They played with her, chased her around, kept her engaged, and truly made her feel like part of their family. Snow is house-trained but had an accident on their carpet. They were incredibly understanding and kind about it, and never made me feel uncomfortable or worried. I received regular photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. Her two dogs are also adorable, friendly, and welcoming. Snow absolutely loved being there and looked so happy in every picture. It genuinely felt like she was on her own little vacation! Finding someone who treats your pet / baby like family is rare, and that’s exactly what they did. I would trust them with Snow again without hesitation and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring, compassionate, and reliable sitter.”

“100% amazing experience all around! Jiapeng and Katelyn took wonderful care of our Yuffie girl. We got plenty of updates and pictures from the day, she had a walk and plenty of potty breaks, and had an abundant amount of play time with them and Pika! We are very satisfied with their attention and care of Yuffie and will definitely book with them again!”
“Melissa and Tommy took wonderful care of my pups. They made me feel at ease with updates and photos throughout the day. Appreciate them for taking such good care of my dogs and accommodating my schedule. Highly recommend!”
“Ezra was amazing! She sent pictures throughout the day. Our dog was having stomach issues so she fed her chicken and rice to calm her stomach down. She even clipped her nails and gave her a bath! She is excellent with dogs and our dog usually takes a few days to warm up to people and she warmed up to her so fast. She had a great time and came home tired every night from playing with the other dogs! Would highly recommend.”

“Ashita was wonderful for our 5 month old doodle, Kulfi! Extremely loving, caring and doting attention to our puppy. He felt immediately at home with her. She constantly sent us updates and pics, and asked us specifics on his feeding and other schedules. Kulfi seemed very happy when we picked him up, and when he jumped on us with happiness, he jumped on her too, which showed that he had a great time with her. She also has a lovely open yard, which our doodle loved. Thank you, Ashita!”
“Xiuhui aka Sophie is very responsive and responsible taking care of my shy, timid baby girl. Sophie takes my girl out for walks at least two times even it’s just 6-8 hours day care. Gives timely updates and pictures of my girl. Most important thing for me is that she’s punctual and flexible. I had bad experience when the sitter didn’t come out to pick up my dog on time and didn’t reply to messages or phone call for like 20 minutes because they “forget and mute my phone” then the traffic became horrible for me. Sophie replies messages in a timely fashion. Sometimes we need to drop my dog off early than scheduled, sometimes we need to pick her up late, and Sophie is all fine with that without any issues. I highly recommend her and will continue letting her take care of my baby girl.”
“My dog Sheera stayed with Dakshina and Rahul for a day. I got lots of photos and video updates. They took good care of Sheera. When I reached to pick him he was very comfortable with them and was playing with them. I would highly recommend them and would board Sheera with them again.”

About: Dog Care/Sit for my family dog and family friend’s dogs for the past 15 years. Able to care for your beloved fur baby as if they were part of my own family. Currently working full time at a school district. During the School Year I am available to work after school/evening hours. In the Summer, I am available to work daytime hours. I can show the utmost care and gentle love for your dog in any capacity that you need whether it is the indoors or outdoors of your household.
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of every kind and grew up with them since I was young. Animals have always been part of my everyday life. I have experience with senior dogs up to 15 years old, dogs recovering from surgery, and cats with different personalities. I always adjust my care to meet each pet’s needs. My dog gets along well with both dogs and cats, and since I work from home, your pet will have plenty of attention and supervision. We have a fully fenced yard and live in a quiet hillside area with very little noise or traffic, which helps keep the environment calm. I work from home, so I’m usually around throughout the day. Pets are never left home alone. When a new dog arrives, I don’t rush introductions. On the first day, I usually keep them physically separated so they can get used to each other’s scent and presence. On the second day, I allow controlled sniffing and short, supervised interactions. By the third day, I continue observing and adjusting based on their comfort level. Most dogs settle in naturally with this gradual approach. Their safety and comfort matter most to me - it’s important that they feel secure in a new environment. I never leave pets loose together without supervision. If we ever need to briefly step out, we have play pens and crates to safely separate them.

About: Hello! I recently lost my 14 yr old dachshund and 14 yr old shih tzu and am taking a step to share my time and space with new fur friends! Currently working from home 2-3 days per week and changes weekly. Open to coordinating schedules to align to what’s best for you and your fur baby. I have a fenced in yard with no other animals in or around us. I had my 2 dogs for 14 years and am comfortable with most anything your pet will need. Medicine, exercise, crating
About: After a few years away working as an engineer, I’ve realized my true passion isn’t in front of a computer, it’s with dogs! I was a top-rated, 5-star sitter in Fremont back in 2016-2017 with 38 repeat clients, and I am so excited to officially reopen my doors to the furry community. With over 20 years of experience living with and caring for dogs, I provide a "home away from home" where your pup is treated like family. Meet the Resident Pack I am a proud "dog mom" to two friendly pups who love making new friends: • Kaka: My sweet 11-year-old rescue poodle mix (13 lbs). He has a crippled leg, so I am very experienced in caring for seniors or dogs with special physical needs. • Panda: My energetic 4-year-old Bernedoodle. He’s a "pandemic puppy" who is well-socialized and ready to play! The "Five-Star" Backyard & Home Your dog will have the ultimate vacation in our 4,000 square foot home. We have plenty of indoor space for lounging and a large, fully fenced backyard for fresh air and supervised playtime. Personalized Care & Activity • Constant Supervision: I work remotely, meaning someone is almost always home to provide cuddles, bathroom breaks, and attention. • Active Lifestyle: We love staying active! Your pup will enjoy frequent walks and plenty of engagement. • Safety First: Because of my engineering background, I am detail-oriented and highly organized when it comes to feeding schedules and safety protocols. I can’t wait to meet your pup and give them a fun, safe, and loving stay! Our routine is highly flexible! Whether your pup is a high-energy "pandemic dog" like my Panda or a senior who needs a gentler pace like my 13lb rescue, Kaka, I easily adjust walk lengths and play styles to match their specific energy and physical abilities. A Day in the Life at Our Home Because we work a hybrid schedule, pet care is seamlessly integrated into our day. Your dog will never be just a "task"—they are part of the family. • 8:30 AM | Morning Adventure: We kick off the day with a morning walk, followed by a nutritious brunch. • Mid-Day | Garden Play: Around noon, I provide supervised "yard breaks" in our large, fenced backyard for fresh air and sniffing. • Late Afternoon | Neighborhood Stroll: We head out for a second neighborhood walk, followed by dinner service. • Evening | Last Call: Before bedtime, we have one final backyard break to ensure everyone is settled and comfortable. Total Freedom: Your dog has the run of the house! They are welcome in any of the 4,000 sq. ft. of indoor space. Whether they want to sunbathe by a window or snooze near my desk while I work, they will have plenty of room to feel at home. Safety-First, Premium Care Your pet’s safety and comfort are my absolute priorities. I provide a secure, high-standard environment designed for total peace of mind. • Supervised Freedom: Your dog has full access to our 4,000 sq. ft. home and a large, securely fenced backyard. I personally supervise all outdoor time to ensure every guest is safe and happy. • Proactive Security: For added protection, I have security cameras monitoring the property and dog gates that can be installed as needed to create separate, safe zones for different energy levels. • Constant Companionship: Because we work a hybrid schedule, there is almost always an adult present. This allows for frequent check-ins, bathroom breaks, and 24/7 attention. • Disciplined Care: I am highly attentive to feeding schedules, medication, and specific care instructions. Whether it's managing a senior dog’s mobility (like my rescue, Kaka) or a high-energy pup’s needs, I follow your instructions to the letter.
About: Experienced pet sitter with 2+ years of caring for dogs, cats, and small animals. Specialized in training dogs to pose for photo, senior care, and administering medication. Professional, reliable, and passionate about animal well-being. Pet care is a vital part of my daily routine, as I take care of my dog and ensure it's well-fed, exercised, and happy every day. I care for pets by feeding, walking, and providing fresh water and I provide playtime and attention. I create a safe and comfortable environment for furry friends.
“Shawna is so great!! Excellent at communicating. Goose had such an amazing time on their walks this weekend. We didn’t have to worry about Goose while we were away because we knew he was in excellent hands. Thank you, Shawna!”
About: Hi! My name is Yanira, and I’m a caring, responsible, and loving pet caregiver with a true passion for animals. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every dog with patience, kindness, attention, and lots of love. I am committed to creating a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where your dog can feel happy and secure while you are away. I enjoy spending quality time with pets, including walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and making sure they feel calm and cared for. I am dependable, attentive to instructions, and dedicated to giving each pet personalized care based on their needs and personality. Your dog’s well-being, safety, and happiness will always be my priority. I would love the opportunity to care for your furry family member and give them the love and attention they deserve. 🐾💕 Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I have a flexible schedule and I’m able to dedicate time for walks, feeding, playtime, attention, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. I’m responsible, organized, and committed to giving each pet the care and love they deserve. A typical day with pets would include feeding them on schedule, going for walks, playtime, giving them attention and affection, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I also enjoy keeping pets active and happy with fun activities, regular potty breaks, and quiet time to relax. I always pay close attention to their needs and routines to make sure they are well cared for and loved.
“Son was a great walker for my parents dog while she (the dog) was staying with me for a few weeks! He made sure to follow her pace and provided fantastic reports for each of her walks. He was kind to her and understanding of her needs, and provided photos and info about each walk. Definitely would have him walk for us again in the future!”
About: What sets me apart is the love and attention I give to every pet. I treat them like family, making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I go the extra mile with walks, playtime, and snuggles, while keeping owners updated with regular pictures and messages. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are always my top priority. I work part time, which gives me plenty of free time to care for pets. I’m available most mornings, making it easy to schedule walks, drop-ins, or cuddles when your pets need them most. I’m also flexible and can adjust to fit your pet’s routine, especially during weekdays and weekends. If pets stay in my home, I make sure they feel comfortable and part of the family—lots of playtime, walks, and snuggles. If I’m caring for pets in your home, I’ll follow their normal routine so they feel safe and relaxed. I always keep things clean, stick to feeding schedules, and send updates so you don’t have to worry while you’re away.
“Zhengjun is amazing! She’s very reliable and great with communication, always sending lots of photos and updates. My dog absolutely loves her. I’m so grateful for her extra care on rainy days, making sure my dog is clean and dry before heading back into his crate. Highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a thoughtful and caring walker!”
About: Definitely will be the filler of entertainment and fun when you need me to be! I love making a dogs tail wag and their drool hit the ground; I love giving belly rubs till they sleep and walking them till they get enough pats and “aw cute dog” compliments along the way! I’ve got the patience to learn about your dog and appreciate all their flaws and paws. Needless to say, not having a dog of my own anymore has made me really miss and want to buff up my skills on doggy caring so that I can be better prepared when I have my own little ball of fur around my home. I will put my heart into caring for them every step, walk, jog, and skip!
About: Experienced dog handler and bather while in training to become a groomer! I am experienced with dog behavior, medication administration and overnight shifts. I have a calm approach with all dogs! I love the big softies with all my heart and the little guys never fail to steal my heart. Every dog amazes me with their intelligence! I have also successfully trained a German shepherd with my family and I would be happy to talk about giving your pups a bath while sitting. I currently work as a bather (on my way to grooming academy next month!) and I would love to house sit on the side (overnights and weekends mostly) and as an added bonus I can give your pawesome pets a bubbly bath during house sitting! I will always come with a doggy first aid kit and knowledge of dog/pack behavior, and I have been trained to break up dog fights in the event of any instances out in public or at home.
About: (Will also watch dogs in the 20s lb. range). Being a stay at home mom with four children (ages range from 15-7), your dog will get the attention s/he needs. Your dog will have access to a very open and spacious area for frequent walks, and we are runners so we will even run with your dog if that's what they love! We have taken care of friends' dogs when they go on vacation and my husband grew up having pet dogs. The children especially love animals and will spend time playing with and caring for your dog. We live in a quiet neighborhood, so your dog will also have a relaxing place to be if s/he is more of a laid back type. The neighborhood also has other dogs, so if your dog is the social type, there are plenty of friends around! I am available to care for your dog throughout the day! I always offer a walk first thing in the morning, throughout the day, and right before bedtime. I have many return clients who entrust us with caring for their animals! I have a loving environment where your pet will receive lots of love and attention.
About: This is my first professional dog walking experience. I have walked plenty of dogs, both my own and my family’s and friend’s. I like dogs and enjoy walking outdoors, so dog walking felt like a natural way for me to help local pet owners. I’m a full time dad and my youngest is starting kindergarten soon, so I will have extra time in the morning. I also have a medical problem that requires I walk every day, so this would really help me too. I understand that trust is essential when caring for your pet, and I’m committed to treating every dog with patience, respect, and kindness while keeping you informed and confident throughout the walk.
About: I have a great love for dogs, no matter what shape or size. I have grown up living in a household with small to medium dogs and other furry animals. I understand how much pets can affect you in a good way. I have had the privilege of taking care of older dogs, dogs with medication and even a puppy. Recently, in past two years, i have had the opportunity to also care of a cat plus a big beautiful german Shepard. My goal is to ensure and comfort your dog while you are away. I will keep the dog(s) on their regular, training routine to the specific detail you tell me. I do community service part time which is regular in my life. I am willing to have a fixed or flexible schedule for short-term jobs. Not available Sunday mornings or Tuesday nights for meet and greet. My goal is to keep your pet safe and comfortable while at the same time keep your home just as you had left it before your vacation. I had a maltipoo. She was loud when you first meet her but really shy. Also friendly enough to hold on to. She is potty trained and knows some commands. With other dogs she gets a long with them, and she just needs to warm up to them because of shyness. I kept her on dog food not human food and she weighs less than 10 lbs. She would run around and play with the younger dogs but also mellow down with the older dogs.

For cats that prefer quieter environments or separation from dogs, I have a dedicated empty bedroom available to help them feel safe and relaxed. Additional care I can provide includes: • Brushing and de-shedding • Nail trimming • Basic dental cleaning (if tolerated) • Frequent updates with photos/videos I focus on quality care and take a limited number of pets so I can give each one more attention and a calmer experience. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate morning, or evening visits. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends, and I can adjust to your cat’s routine to ensure consistency and comfort. I prioritize reliability and will make sure your cat is cared for on time every visit, whether it’s daily check-ins or extended care. I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment and always follow your care instructions closely. I understand that cats can be sensitive to changes, so I focus on minimizing stress and maintaining their normal routine. I’m experienced with handling cats gently, including grooming (brushing, nail trimming, and basic hygiene if your cat allows). I pay close attention to their behavior, appetite, and overall well-being, and I will keep you updated with photos and notes after each visit. Your cat’s safety, comfort, and trust are always my top priorities.

“I left my little man in Son’s care and I’m so glad I did. He was exceptional from the start. Very accommodating and such a great communicator from setting up an initial meet and greet to the periodic updates during the stay. He went above and beyond and showed a level of care that helped my dog feel at home in a new environment. He took my man on multiple walks and kept him engaged to help him from feeling home sick. I believe Son is a natural caretaker and any pet would be blessed to be in his care.”
“**⭐️ 5 Stars – Amazing Dog Sitter! ⭐️** I couldn’t be happier with the care Mary provided for Kajree! From the very beginning, Mary was attentive, loving, and truly went above and beyond to make sure my pup felt safe, happy, and well-cared for. Almost daily updates (including adorable photos and videos!) gave me so much peace of mind while I was away, and it was clear Kajree had a great time with them. Whether it was walks, being goofy, or being cared for as a senior dog, Mary and her kids treated my dog like their family. I highly recommend Mary to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely caring sitter. Thank you for everything—we’ll definitely be booking again! 🐾❤️”
“Ezra took great care of our dog, Hayes! We were hesitant to use someone new, especially over the holidays but she gave us the peace of mind we needed.

We will definitely be booking with Ezra again in the future!”
“Hachi had a great time there! Alicia was very accommodating and helpful when answering questions. Would definitely recommend her for anyone who wants to board their dogs. She even helped Hachi with his meds which is a big help. Thanks again Alicia!”

“This was the first time I had to board Kobe for 3 weeks, and Kim did a wonderful job taking care of Kobe. He was extremely responsive when I asked for a meet and greet really early because I wanted to make sure Kobe would mesh well with Kim’s dogs. I really appreciated how Kim was patient with my requests regarding setting up the arrangements. He sent me daily updates with photos and videos. He kept me informed when Kobe developed hot spots and asked for permission to try different treatment methods. He even got Kobe a small bag of food just in case Kobe didn’t have enough food at the end of boarding. Overall, I highly recommend Kim and appreciate the care he puts into caring for my pet.”

“Janet and her husband looked after my dog, Peanut on super short notice and took very good care of him for 2 nights. They were both very friendly and were kind even when Peanut growled at them (He's not good in new situations). I plan to ask them to watch him again in the future. Thanks again, Janeth!”

“I had a wonderful experience with Stefania while she cared for my dog, Shadow. She sent timely updates and plenty of pictures, which kept me at ease. I could tell she paid close attention to his needs and made sure he was comfortable throughout. What I appreciated most was her flexibility and the extra effort of dropping him home. Truly reliable and caring. I highly recommend her and would love to sit Shadow with her again.”
“Yifei did an amazing job taking care of my baby corgi! She had great communication and frequently sent me pictures and updates. It looked like my pup had a blast staying with her and her pets. Would definitely book again😊”
