“Doh was great with boarding my dog who occasionally has issues with other dogs. She was able to play in her own separated yard. Doh was also willing to accept her last minute for a holiday. We will definitely be a repeat customer.”
“Julie has cared for our pups for a few years now and they have always loved their time there.so glad we found a person who loves our fur babies so we can get away without worries .”
“Jasmine was absolutely amazing! She has a great backyard for the dogs to run around. She sent pictures and videos everyday and Shasta always looked so happy. I will definitely be contacting Jasmine again to care for our sweet girl!”
“I boarded my dog with Jennifer for a couple of days and working with her was a pleasure. She was responsive, accommodating of requests, changes and just genuinely a kind and good natured person that made the process easy and stress free. She has a setup that is ideal for boarding dogs, the dogs get walked, socialize, and you can tell she works really hard to treat them patiently and kindly and ensure they are safe. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a place to board their dogs as one can feel assured they are in good hands.”
“Expert with huskies. If you have a husky book with Ekaterina ! She has good hours for pickup and drop off and is very accommodating. Has a backyard that is good. She is also good with communication.”
“Ann took care of Hexy for a week while we were on vacation. She regularly updated us on how he was doing and sent us pictures. Herxy had a great time staying with Ann- he got a lot of attention and love and Ann made sure that he was safe- which was the most important to me. I know that he was happy there - as when we came to pick him up - he was happy to see us but he also went to Ann and her husband for affection and pettings - which included to me that he was happy with them. I would absolutely recommend Ann as a dog sitter/ for dog boarding.”
“Serena and Wes are the best! Our girls both love them and had the best time while staying with them! They worked with us ahead of time so we could be sure our rescue would be comfortable and that they’d be good with her too. Serena sent us so many adorable pictures and videos while we were on vacation which was great for our peace of mind. She was super communicative about everything and we are so glad to have an awesome sitter we can trust. Astro and Luna will be back for Christmas :)”
“Phillip and Jenny were absolutely fantastic. They were the perfect fit for my dog. They took very good care of Mila while I was away. Mila is not a super social dog. So I appreciated their patience and understanding. Phillip provided updates and photos. I felt so comfortable and secure with both Phillip and Jenny.”
“Nelly was very accommodating to our last minute board request. Once we dropped off our pup she sent updates and photos and followed the feeding schedule we provided. Would 10/10 recommend!!!”
“I had to have surgery and didn’t know what I would do with Ms Franky Mae until I found Rover and Ingrid! Ingrid met with us before I had to leave her and she was so obviously caring that my dog immediately took to her and her dog Moose! I felt very comfortable leaving her and Ingrid sent pictures and updates throughout the time she stayed. I will use Ingrid again whenever I need someone to care for my dog. She is an awesome human and I am so glad to have found her! I highly recommend her services.”
“Martha was great with Bagel during his 5 night stay. He loved playing with her dog Benji's toys and had so kuch fun. I could tell from the pictures that she shared. I would definitely book Martha again. Thanks for taking such good care of him.”
“Harry & Thomas are amazing with animals. My pups have been there twice already and I have the most comfort knowing that they’ll be well taken care of and loved on. I get an update once a day, which is absolutely perfect! These 2 will be my go to sitters whenever I need a doggie sitter. I hope they never leave this app!”
“Everything is always great with Michele! She is kind and caring with Moose and very communicative, checking in regularly. Moose loves his visits with Michele and family.”
“Wyne took great care of my pug! I appreciated receiving photos every day, and Wyne was always very responsive to any questions. While I missed my dog terribly, I felt comfortable knowing that Bazbo was in good hands. Two thumbs and four paws up for Wyne!”
“This was my 1st time booking care for my pet cat. We are having issues with our AC and when I have to be at work and it's 107°, cat needed safe place indoors. Grisel gave me peace of mind from the initial inquiry (daycare and potential overnight boarding) until the last moment saying our goodbyes. I was nervous being new, but she was completely professional, respectful and patient. her helpful relative was also so attentive to my shy babe. Communication was 100% as was the set up and the care. Obviously would return and would recommend!”
About: Hello fellow pet parents! My name is Emily, and I am thrilled to offer a safe, fun, and reliable home-away-from-home for your beloved four-legged family members. As a passionate animal lover, I know firsthand that pets aren't just animals—they are cherished members of the family who deserve the absolute best care, attention, and affection. Whether your pet is an energetic ball of fluff who needs to burn off some energy, or a sweet senior soul who just wants a quiet cuddle on the couch, I tailor my care to meet their unique personality and routine! 🐕 Services Provided & Activities When your pet is with me, their day will be filled with structure, safety, and a whole lot of fun. The services I provide are fully customizable, but a typical day of care or visit often includes: Tailored Exercise & Neighborhood Walks: Active walks to explore local spots, sniff all the good trails, and get some great fresh air. Engaging Playtime & Mental Stimulation: From classic games of fetch to interactive toys, I love keeping pets mentally and physically sharp. Cozy Cuddle Time & Companionship: Plenty of belly rubs, ear scratches, and relaxing downtime to ensure they feel entirely safe, secure, and loved. Routine Maintenance: Timely feeding, refreshing water bowls, administering any required medications, and ensuring a clean environment (including keeping litter boxes spotless for feline friends). Daily Photo Updates: I love capturing great candid moments! You can expect regular, bright photo and text updates so you can see exactly how much fun your pet is having while you're away. 📚 My Pet Care Experience I have years of hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of pets, ranging from high-energy dogs to independent, sweet cats. My background includes managing different temperaments, understanding animal body language, and adhering strictly to specific dietary and medical routines. Having my own beloved pets has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and vigilance. I treat every single animal in my care with the exact same level of devotion, respect, and safety that I demand for my own furry family. From puppy training basics to gentle senior care, I’ve got it covered! 📅 Availability & Daily Routine I understand how important peace of mind is when leaving your pet, which is why I pride myself on being highly present and attentive. My Schedule: I manage my professional responsibilities with an incredibly flexible schedule that allows me to put your pet's needs first. Time Spent with Your Pet: Because I have excellent control over my daily calendar, your pet will never be an afterthought. I am able to dedicate significant chunks of the day to direct interaction, frequent potty breaks, and structured play. Evenings & Weekends: I have fantastic availability for overnight stays, weekend boarding, or dedicated evening drop-ins, ensuring that your pet maintains their normal routine without disruption. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! Feel free to reach out with any questions, details about your pet's specific quirks, or to schedule a meet-and-greet. Let’s give your pet the best day ever! 🐶🐱✨ Pet care naturally fits into my everyday life because spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. I’m used to building my day around routines like walks, feeding schedules, playtime, potty breaks, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. I have experience caring for dogs with different energy levels, including puppies who need extra attention and consistency. I’m home enough to provide regular care, supervision, and companionship, and I enjoy being active, so walks and exercise are an easy part of my routine. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I make sure to follow each owner’s instructions closely and keep their normal routine as stress-free and familiar as possible while they’re in my care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well being will always be my top priority. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I take that responsibility seriously. I make sure every pet is supervised carefully, kept in a safe environment, and cared for according to their individual needs and routine. I pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, eating habits, and any signs that a pet may be stressed or uncomfortable so I can respond quickly if something seems off. I believe in clear communication and will always keep owners updated with messages and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is in good hands. I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I would give my own pet. My goal is to create a safe, positive experience for both pets and their owners every time.

“Mel was a great sitter for my two kitties. My shy girl warmed right up to her and enjoyed her play time. Miss DeVa, the boss, showed her approval as well. Being the distant observer, she too came out of her “palace” and enjoyed her company. Lots of pics and updates on how the girls were behaving and eating. Never a worry while I was away. Will definitely have her take care of my babies again. Thanks, Mel!!”
“Doh took excellent care of my cats and home. The cats loved her. Her attention to detail, great communication, kindness towards the cats, and professionalism all made me so much more comfortable being away from home. Thank you, Doh!”
About: I could be one of the biggest dog lovers you have ever met! I cannot pass a dog without saying a quick hello! I love snuggles and dog kisses. I also have plenty of experience cat sitting. I now work from home for a large animal welfare organization so I am happy to come visit your pet and give them some well deserved love and attention.
“Laura was great and my cat loved her. She was very calm and gave my shy cat the space to come out of her shell which she did quickly. Laura kept me updated with photos during her check in and made the experience of leaving my home with my cat very comforting. Definitely recommend her and will hire her services again next time I’m out of town. Thank you Laura!”
“Bree was awesome with Lilo! She was very reliable, on time, and followed all my specific instructions.It gave me so much relief knowing my cat was in Bree’s hands. I would absolutely book her again! 🥰 Thank you Bree! 💕”
“Erika is a true gem - she was so sweet and caring to my 4 y/o maine coon Milo. She provided detailed daily updates and took such amazing care of my boy! Would recommend her to anyone!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life & cannot imagine life without one. My current fur baby is a 4 year old black lab & I’ve learned a lot about dog training over the last 4 years. Dogs need physical and mental stimulation every day & they rely on their humans for everything. Please allow me to love, entertain, & care for your fur babies whenever you are not available. I’m happy to be their second best friend. I’m currently a stay at home mom to 2 humans & 1 Labrador Retriever. I am available weekdays before 3pm with some flexibility 3-5pm. Available for meet & greet Saturday or Sunday. I will take notes on any special instructions or requests you have. Every pet has a different play style & individual needs so I aim to treat each one in a way that makes them (& you) happy.
“Took exceptional care of my five cats! I had total piece of mind that they were all cared for as well as if I had not been in vacation. Bonus! My extremely skittish feral came up to visit her- basically the cat whisperer. Ten million stars- out of five lol!!”
About: I’ve loved cats and dogs and I’ve been around them my whole life. I’ve raised and trained three dogs, including one who is a certified pet therapy dog. I also worked for a year as a cat handler at a cat cafe, taking care of over a dozen cats including kittens as young as four months old. I’m good with people but even better with pets! I’m a recent college graduate with a flexible and open schedule. I have my own car and I’m happy to help with short term or long term care of your pets. I’ve had years of experience with cats and dogs of all ages and sizes. I can be active or lazy depending on their needs. I’m happy to help take care of your pets however is best.
“Stephanie is great with my cat! She spent time with him and took great pictures. She is quick to respond to messages and very flexible with timing. Thanks so much for taking care of George 😺”
“Jalisa was absolutely fantastic! She took such good care of Lilo while I was away. She was very reliable, communicative, and was available on such short notice! Jalisa kept me updated and provided photos that put my mind at ease. Lilo warmed up to her right away, which speaks volumes about her gentle nature. I came home to a happy, healthy kitty and a tidy house. Thank you Jalisa!!!”
“Thank you Tiffany for taking care of Schrodinger! Tiffany did an excellent job with my special needs cat. I will definitely book her again for cat sitting! Sent updates and pictures every day I was out of town.”
“Would recommend Taviana to absolutely everyone. She was so good with my cats and they loved her. She was punctual and even went above and beyond to get my Frankie a toy to celebrate his birthday. We will definitely be booking her every time we go out of town!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs since age 12, especially high energy breeds. I raised 2 puppies from early stages, gaining experience in activity, structure, attention, and consistency.

I love animals so your pet will be treated as my own while in my care.
“Gia is just a great person... professional, compassionate and extremely trustworthy. I left knowing my shy kitty would be loved and in good hands. I appreciated getting photos and comments about the visits. It is easy to see how much she truly loves animals. I highly recommend her!”
“Terri was wonderful! I was able to have her watch my two dachshunds while we went out for the evening and they were so happy and tired when we got back! Great communication and punctuality too! Thank you Terri! :)”

Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
“Julie and her sister Sandy are wonderful. My miniature Dachshund, Bruno, has been going to their home for doggie daycare for some time now. They have gone above and beyond taking him with very little notice and picking him up and returning him. I feel very confident about his safety while in their care. Recently, I had an emergency and they picked him up without any notice and I boarded him with them for 3 days. This was the first time he was away from home and his first night he was nervous, but they gave him lots of reassurance and comfort. I highly recommend them to anyone that is looking for a loving and caring doggie daycare and boarding in a home environment.”
“Marianne was amazing! She welcomed my two little Shih Tzus into her home and treated them like they were part of the family. I got a few pictures during the day and could see how relaxed my pups were with her. Highly recommend!”
“Jeniffer goes above and beyond when caring for our pup. From walks to play time to helping us out with extended care when a family emergency occurred, we’re very happy we’ve found her. Our pup gets excited when he gets within a mile of her house and knowing he’s in good hands makes all the difference.”
“Tala has only stayed with Megan twice now, but she already gets so excited when we turn onto her street. I’m so glad our pups get along and tala gets lots of love all day. I feel that tala is safe and cared for with Megan and Uno”
“Sammy was great! Took my boy at the last minute and was so good with him, and as an owner of an Akita, she did so well and put us at ease while we enjoyed our music festival. Would highly recommend her and if we are back in Sacramento will definitely reach out to her again”
“Tiffany was wonderful with our fur baby and made us feel very comfortable with our first booking. She sent multiple texts and photos to put us at ease. I would highly recommend her and will be using her services again!”
“Jen is wonderful!! We are doing doggy daycare for our almost 4 month old golden pup Louie and Jen is so loving, kind, flexible, easy going and a great communicator. She treats him like her own and Louie gets SO excited when we pull up to her house. The tail wags and kisses when he sees her says it all. ❤️ As any pet parent knows, leaving your pup can be stressful. Jen keeps me in the loop, sends me photos and updates throughout the day which makes me so happy. We are looking forward to many more bookings with her. Thank you Jen!”
“We have used Susan multiple times for daycare and she is wonderful!! She is a warm and kind person and truly loves dogs. I feel very comfortable leaving Maya with her, knowing Maya will be safe and well taken care of.”
About: Hi, I'm Anna! I am a passionate, highly trained animal lover dedicated to giving your pet the safest and most fun experience possible. Since March, I have been an active volunteer with the Sacramento SPCA, where I have completed intensive online courses and hands-on, in-person training in canine behavior, body language, and socialization. I am fully certified to handle and walk the shelter's Green and Orange color-coded dogs. Because of my training and reliability, the SPCA also trusts me with their Foster Furlough program for their highest-need Pink color-coded dogs. This means I regularly take these advanced-level dogs out of the shelter environment for day trips and overnight stays in my home to give them a break. Whether your dog needs a high-energy walk, structured socialization, or just an attentive and loving overnight companion, I know exactly how to read their body language and keep them safe in real-world situations. I have a very flexible part-time schedule, my own reliable vehicle for check-ins, and a deep commitment to following your exact house rules and routines. I can't wait to meet your furry family member! I don’t work so I’m home pretty much all time unless I’m running errands. I’m available Tuesday-sat to come and help out with your babies!! I have a fenced yard but always prefer to watch them while there going potty or playing! I’d also be able to crate them if needed:)
“Monica is amazing! My puppy (Ollie) seemed to really love her! She has the sweetest dog Maya who got along very well with my puppy. She sent lots of pictures throughout the day and Ollie looked so happy in all of them!! Monica also took him on a few walks throughout the day- my puppy is pretty high energy. When we got home, he was so tired from all the play time and walks he had while at Monica’s. I highly recommend her and trust her with my puppy anytime ☺️ thank you so much”
“Heath Bar didn’t make it easy - he barked the entire time at Danielle’s unless she was there with him, I k ew he had separation anxiety but the only time it presented for the last several years was while he was alone in the car. His being alone in the house was not a problem for him. My take away is to be certain someone will be at home with him for most of the time he will be in someone else’s care. Danielle was very responsive and kept me informed the day Heath was in her care.”
“I have a two year old, large, german shepherd and he can be a lot to handle for anyone. Jillian's house is the only place I have full confidence in. My dog, Roman, loves going there. As soon as I put him in the car in the am and start driving down my normal route to her house he full on cries as loud as he can until he arrives. I do not even have to walk him to the door anymore, I open up the back door and he runs as fast as he can straight to her front door. Her house is extremely well kept, and certainly dog friendly. Jillian has a hand (and heart) of gold. Roman requires lots of outside playtime, Jillian has a huge fenced in backyard where he loves to run around with his friends. She also takes him to the park daily to run around and get even more exercise. Jillian's house is truly a 5 start doggie hotel. With my crazy work schedule, Jillian is always flexible and accommodating. I do not think I could get through every week without having her by my side to take care of Roman and his needs. I will forever continue to use Jillian's daycare as long as she will have us..... Which I know would never be a problem because Jillian loves Roman just as much as I do..... (and that is a WHOLE LOT! :-)”
“Daria went above and beyond by logging everything Juneau did for the day! She also sent photos and Juneau loves her so much which is a huge plus. When meeting Daria, she ran up to her and immediately became best friends with her! I will definitely consider reaching out to Daria again. Thank you!!”
About: I've had animals of all shapes and sizes my entire life. I grew up around a lot of animals, including dogs and cats, hamsters, fish, and horses. I'm unemployed so I have as much time as your pup or cat requires. My daughter loves animals too so they will get plenty of play and attention. I have a fenced large backyard (for a an apartment) perfect for potty breaks or just to stretch in between walks, we're within walking distance of a dog park with a large lawn. I care for pets primarily based on your instructions so if your fur baby needs special care just let me know and I'll let you know if it's something I can manage. I had a cat who had kidney disease for 3 years towards the end of his life so I can do infusions and medications if you bring your supplies.
About: I've always loved dogs growing up and learned to train them since I also have smart and energetic dogs who need playtime, socialization, love, and discipline. I just quit my corporate job so I have a lot of time and flexibility to play with your dog, take them to the park, go for a walk, or simply keep them company. I can drive to your house for visits, walks, or take them to the park. I can also take them to my place for boarding or playtime. I have a huge fenced backyard and a fenced pool as well if you'd like your dog to swim, we can arrange for this as well. I have 2 friendly dogs who will also keep your dog company.
About: I'm an avid dog person, with knowledge about various breeds, large and small, and how to care for them. I love to hang out with dogs, walk, jog and play! I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I'm available at your dog's need and during any time of day. I grew up with dogs, and have always had a dog in adult life. I don't know what I would do without a dog! I consider myself an active person who spends time in the great outdoors as often as possible. I enjoy doing yoga, riding my bike, weight training, and walking as forms of exercise. During down time, I love to read, cook, and cuddle with my pooch. I look forward to us getting to know each other better!
“Ann and Steve are so great! Ann allowed us to do a meet & greet to check out her backyard and to get to know our dogs. She does not have pets and prefers to sit one pet family at a time. Awesome right? Ann is very knowledgeable with dogs, patient and so very kind. Ann sent pics of Sasuke and Winston. You can tell Sasuke was happy to be there. Winston is just shy overall but warmed up to Ann and Steve. I would definitely book with Ann again. She is one of the best sitters.”
About: I’ve always had family pets. We’ve adopted several dogs, young and old, over the years. We currently do not have our own pets, but understand how important it is to feel relaxed when traveling, knowing your furry family is taken care of while away. I am self-employed and work from home. This allows me to be very accommodating when watching your pets and/or home. My wife is an RN and would be able to step in should my schedule not accommodate a particular situation. I prefer to watch your pets in their routine environment knowing it makes them less anxious while you’re away. Depending on your pet and their disposition, I could also allow them time in our home.

About: I have taken care of my husky malamute mix for over 8 years. Because of him, I’ve learned to look after a large, stubborn dog who is difficult to control. As a result, I have to ability to handle unexpected scenarios.

I’m an engineering student at UC Davis, and I’m involved on campus and in the local community. I want to help you and your dog, and I can promise lots of communication with you and lots of love for your dog.

About: I have always loved being around dogs, showing them love and care, and then sending them back safely to their forever homes. I grew up dog sitting for family and friends, and even taking in strays until we could find their home again. I have fostered puppies and mommies and have cared for older and special needs dogs. My partner and I have our two small terrier mixes that get along with everyone and love love. Personally, I love the "Lucky Dog" philosophy and CaliK9 approach to caring for and teaching all dogs. Pet care is usually an evening or weekend activity for me, but I will be flexible for the right fur family. Communication and prioritizing needs will always be valued. Currently not offering boarding services due to change of address and major location. When I am more familiar with our current living environment this section will be updated.
About: I’ve taken care of my family’s dogs for as long as I can remember. I love playing with them, taking care of them, giving them love, and any other care they need. I’m currently a stay at home mom, I just had my first baby a couple months ago who is not yet crawling or walking. So I’m available throughout the week and weekend. I have a fenced yard with space for pets to run around and get some air. I do have a 3 month old kitten but I have a lot of space in my house and if your pet doesn’t get along with cats I am able to section off my kitty to one side of the house during your furry friend’s stay here.
“Bailey did a fabulous job watching our fur babies. She sent us lots of updates, and not only walked them but hung out and had some fun play time. The dogs took to her immediately. I’ve never had them warm up to a new person so quickly! Would highly recommend her services!”
About: I've always loved dogs growing up and learned to train them since I also have smart and energetic dogs who need playtime, socialization, love, and discipline. I just quit my corporate job so I have a lot of time and flexibility to play with your dog, take them to the park, go for a walk, or simply keep them company. I can drive to your house for visits, walks, or take them to the park. I can also take them to my place for boarding or playtime. I have a huge fenced backyard and a fenced pool as well if you'd like your dog to swim, we can arrange for this as well. I have 2 friendly dogs who will also keep your dog company.
About: I've had animals of all shapes and sizes my entire life. I grew up around a lot of animals, including dogs and cats, hamsters, fish, and horses. I'm unemployed so I have as much time as your pup or cat requires. My daughter loves animals too so they will get plenty of play and attention. I have a fenced large backyard (for a an apartment) perfect for potty breaks or just to stretch in between walks, we're within walking distance of a dog park with a large lawn. I care for pets primarily based on your instructions so if your fur baby needs special care just let me know and I'll let you know if it's something I can manage. I had a cat who had kidney disease for 3 years towards the end of his life so I can do infusions and medications if you bring your supplies.
About: I grew up with animals more specifically dogs I had a toy poodle, a labradoodle, a Labrador , now currently have a Dorgi and bully. I also care for my friends pets when they are away. I do work a full time and can be available for your fur babies. Call or text me for more info for drop-ins or what it is needed. Make sure they are fed with fresh water and engaged in a walk or another activity you would prefer. I look forward to hearing from you.
“As first-time Rover users, we chose Alexandra and all we can say is Alexandra is the best! She is extremely prompt & communicative and was eager to help us navigate the app and Rover support when we realized we were being charged holiday fee outside of the holiday period. You can tell she genuinely cares about the pets she cares for while the owners are away. Thanks Alex!”

“Doh was great with boarding my dog who occasionally has issues with other dogs. She was able to play in her own separated yard. Doh was also willing to accept her last minute for a holiday. We will definitely be a repeat customer.”
“Jasmine was absolutely amazing! She has a great backyard for the dogs to run around. She sent pictures and videos everyday and Shasta always looked so happy. I will definitely be contacting Jasmine again to care for our sweet girl!”
“I boarded my dog with Jennifer for a couple of days and working with her was a pleasure. She was responsive, accommodating of requests, changes and just genuinely a kind and good natured person that made the process easy and stress free. She has a setup that is ideal for boarding dogs, the dogs get walked, socialize, and you can tell she works really hard to treat them patiently and kindly and ensure they are safe. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a place to board their dogs as one can feel assured they are in good hands.”
“Expert with huskies. If you have a husky book with Ekaterina ! She has good hours for pickup and drop off and is very accommodating. Has a backyard that is good. She is also good with communication.”
“Ann took care of Hexy for a week while we were on vacation. She regularly updated us on how he was doing and sent us pictures. Herxy had a great time staying with Ann- he got a lot of attention and love and Ann made sure that he was safe- which was the most important to me. I know that he was happy there - as when we came to pick him up - he was happy to see us but he also went to Ann and her husband for affection and pettings - which included to me that he was happy with them. I would absolutely recommend Ann as a dog sitter/ for dog boarding.”
“Serena and Wes are the best! Our girls both love them and had the best time while staying with them! They worked with us ahead of time so we could be sure our rescue would be comfortable and that they’d be good with her too. Serena sent us so many adorable pictures and videos while we were on vacation which was great for our peace of mind. She was super communicative about everything and we are so glad to have an awesome sitter we can trust. Astro and Luna will be back for Christmas :)”
“Phillip and Jenny were absolutely fantastic. They were the perfect fit for my dog. They took very good care of Mila while I was away. Mila is not a super social dog. So I appreciated their patience and understanding. Phillip provided updates and photos. I felt so comfortable and secure with both Phillip and Jenny.”
“Nelly was very accommodating to our last minute board request. Once we dropped off our pup she sent updates and photos and followed the feeding schedule we provided. Would 10/10 recommend!!!”
“Everything is always great with Michele! She is kind and caring with Moose and very communicative, checking in regularly. Moose loves his visits with Michele and family.”
“Wyne took great care of my pug! I appreciated receiving photos every day, and Wyne was always very responsive to any questions. While I missed my dog terribly, I felt comfortable knowing that Bazbo was in good hands. Two thumbs and four paws up for Wyne!”
“This was my 1st time booking care for my pet cat. We are having issues with our AC and when I have to be at work and it's 107°, cat needed safe place indoors. Grisel gave me peace of mind from the initial inquiry (daycare and potential overnight boarding) until the last moment saying our goodbyes. I was nervous being new, but she was completely professional, respectful and patient. her helpful relative was also so attentive to my shy babe. Communication was 100% as was the set up and the care. Obviously would return and would recommend!”
About: Hello fellow pet parents! My name is Emily, and I am thrilled to offer a safe, fun, and reliable home-away-from-home for your beloved four-legged family members. As a passionate animal lover, I know firsthand that pets aren't just animals—they are cherished members of the family who deserve the absolute best care, attention, and affection. Whether your pet is an energetic ball of fluff who needs to burn off some energy, or a sweet senior soul who just wants a quiet cuddle on the couch, I tailor my care to meet their unique personality and routine! 🐕 Services Provided & Activities When your pet is with me, their day will be filled with structure, safety, and a whole lot of fun. The services I provide are fully customizable, but a typical day of care or visit often includes: Tailored Exercise & Neighborhood Walks: Active walks to explore local spots, sniff all the good trails, and get some great fresh air. Engaging Playtime & Mental Stimulation: From classic games of fetch to interactive toys, I love keeping pets mentally and physically sharp. Cozy Cuddle Time & Companionship: Plenty of belly rubs, ear scratches, and relaxing downtime to ensure they feel entirely safe, secure, and loved. Routine Maintenance: Timely feeding, refreshing water bowls, administering any required medications, and ensuring a clean environment (including keeping litter boxes spotless for feline friends). Daily Photo Updates: I love capturing great candid moments! You can expect regular, bright photo and text updates so you can see exactly how much fun your pet is having while you're away. 📚 My Pet Care Experience I have years of hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of pets, ranging from high-energy dogs to independent, sweet cats. My background includes managing different temperaments, understanding animal body language, and adhering strictly to specific dietary and medical routines. Having my own beloved pets has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and vigilance. I treat every single animal in my care with the exact same level of devotion, respect, and safety that I demand for my own furry family. From puppy training basics to gentle senior care, I’ve got it covered! 📅 Availability & Daily Routine I understand how important peace of mind is when leaving your pet, which is why I pride myself on being highly present and attentive. My Schedule: I manage my professional responsibilities with an incredibly flexible schedule that allows me to put your pet's needs first. Time Spent with Your Pet: Because I have excellent control over my daily calendar, your pet will never be an afterthought. I am able to dedicate significant chunks of the day to direct interaction, frequent potty breaks, and structured play. Evenings & Weekends: I have fantastic availability for overnight stays, weekend boarding, or dedicated evening drop-ins, ensuring that your pet maintains their normal routine without disruption. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! Feel free to reach out with any questions, details about your pet's specific quirks, or to schedule a meet-and-greet. Let’s give your pet the best day ever! 🐶🐱✨ Pet care naturally fits into my everyday life because spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. I’m used to building my day around routines like walks, feeding schedules, playtime, potty breaks, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. I have experience caring for dogs with different energy levels, including puppies who need extra attention and consistency. I’m home enough to provide regular care, supervision, and companionship, and I enjoy being active, so walks and exercise are an easy part of my routine. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I make sure to follow each owner’s instructions closely and keep their normal routine as stress-free and familiar as possible while they’re in my care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well being will always be my top priority. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I take that responsibility seriously. I make sure every pet is supervised carefully, kept in a safe environment, and cared for according to their individual needs and routine. I pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, eating habits, and any signs that a pet may be stressed or uncomfortable so I can respond quickly if something seems off. I believe in clear communication and will always keep owners updated with messages and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is in good hands. I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I would give my own pet. My goal is to create a safe, positive experience for both pets and their owners every time.
“Gabriela was a great sitter for our dog! She was communicative and sent us little updates each day. She asks all the right questions and paid attention to all the details and preferences of to make our dudes stay with as comfortable as possible. Thank you so much!”
“Our wild puppy loves staying at Acharas! She gets to play with other dogs and always comes home tired. We are so grateful to have a reliable and caring home to send our puppy to whenever we are out of town. Achara sends me cute picture updates of our dog having fun. Thank you!!”
“Lydia is awesome. I got multiple great updates a day during my trip. Even during a heat wave, she made sure the pups got plenty of exercise in the mornings and my dog came home tuckered out. She knows dogs and can read their behaviors to understand what they need and what makes them happy. My dog loved her and I would definitely book with her again!”
“We are first time dog parents and our pup has had some recent behavioral issues with other dogs that we were concerned might pop up when we were away. We talked to Alexandra about it and were super confident that if anything should arise she would have it well under control and she assured us that her dog is calm and well trained. Thankfully our dog loved his time and was well behaved, she kept him comfortable and entertained. But it was such a relief to know if worse came to worse, she could handle it. She gave us daily updates and photos and was responsive if we had any questions. We will absolutely book again!”
