“Sein took wonderful care of Maggie over the long weekend! They kept me updated with frequent photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Maggie got plenty of playtime and walks, and Sein even spent time working on her zigzagging during walks, which I really appreciated. Their apartment was clean, and their dogs were calm and friendly, making it a great environment for Maggie. I highly recommend Sein and would happily book with them again.”
“Jifu was great with our 10-months old golden doodle puppy. He stayed for a week. It was our first time boarding and we were very nervous - but were reassured by the great communication and daily updates. We highly recommend Jifu!”
“Peanut had his trial day with Shannon today and everything went great. She took wonderful care of him, kept us updated with lots of photos, and made us feel very comfortable the whole time. We could see that he was happy and well cared for. We will definitely book with her again in the future”
“Mario was very well cared for. He needed lot of attention and pets which he got in abundance. We also received regular photos and updates every day. Thank you Justin and An.”
“Our dog had a great time w/ Alissa! She got the right amount of rest & walk. I can tell b/c my dog is focused & was ready to do her exercises. Alissa was amazing from my initial contact. She got back to me right away. Not only did she ask questions, but we had conversations before I even dropped off my dog. I got an update before I even got to work which was only 4 miles away. Her updates were timely as I am used to seeing my dog on a camera, so I felt like I knew what they were always doing. When I went to pick her up I got a recap of the day so i can prepare for our future visits. Alissa is extremely professional & was on top of all my pup’s needs for the day.”
“Nina and Leo are the best;) They took great care of our dog for a long weekend and we already booked them again for a much longer term. They are also very responsive and flexible. ***** FIVE STARS!”
“This was Shiloh's second time at Guillermo' and Siobhan's home. Guillermo has great vibes and Shiloh comes home fulfilled and tired. We couldn't ask for more!”
“Margaret and her dogs welcomed Quincy, our labradoodle, as a temporary member of their pack. It was great for him to be with other dogs and a very dog-savvy human. Margaret’s very observant, very caring and ready to help new dogs learn good behaviors. We hope Quincy will be able to stay with her in the future.”
“Honor had another fabulous stay with Jesse & Kimmy. She was so excited to be reunited with them and we're convinced that one of these times she just isn't going to want to come back home.”
“Matthew and Katelyn were amazing! They took such great care of our pup for the night and made everything super easy. They sent updates and photos, and I could tell Coco was having a great time and felt totally comfortable. When we picked him up, he was happy and relaxed. I’m so glad we found them — I’d definitely book again!”
“Patrina took fabulous care of our Boston Terrier while we were away. Her dog, King, was a great companion and playmate for our dog, too. We would not hesitate to hire her again!”
“Karla has been great taking care of our Marv. He returned home happy and healthy after 3 weeks that we were away. She also very flexible with the pick-up and drop-off schedule. I highly recommend Karla!”
“Cesar provided outstanding dog boarding services during the winter holiday week! Our dog Koa had an awesome time with Cesar with walks around the neighborhood, playing in the backyard, cozy time on the couch when the weather was inclement, and loved meeting other dog friends! Cesar sent lovely pics every morning and evening with a short report and update every day that gave us peace of mind and also made us smile (Cesar takes amazing pics!) We would highly recommend Cesar to anyone looking for excellent care for their dog!”
“We left our duck rolling retriever, Manu, with Lia for a whole week and I felt so comforted amd relieved every day when I got videos and pictures of Manu having a great time and being so well taken care of. Big yard for playing catch and lots of friends to play with. I got to enjoy my sisters wedding with no worries. Can’t thank her enough and I really recommend her services!!”
“India had a wonderful visit with Olga and her family. She was loved, walked and cuddled. I received lots of photos and videos and felt completely assured India was in good hands. I loved that India had access to her yard, dog park and lots of walks. I am absolutely going to rebook Olga for India. I feel completely lucky to find Olga, she is a gem, thoughtful, responsible and naturally an animal person.”
“Chris was wonderful with my dog! He’s gentle and sensitive and takes utmost care of their needs. He would walk him morning evening and share cutest pics every day. It was our first time to drop for this long but can’t thank him enough for making him feel so at home.”
“I highly recommend Ying for anyone seeking a reliable and attentive pet sitter. She was incredibly thorough, followed every detailed instruction perfectly, and kept me at ease with regular photos and videos. One of my dogs bonded with her immediately, which is the ultimate endorsement. I couldn't have asked for a more professional or caring experience!”
“My dog Re’lar had a blast staying with Michael (as evidenced by the many photos and videos I recieved). Michael was communicative which helped put me at ease since this was the first time my pup stayed with him. Would be happy to have Re’lar stay with him again next time we are in need.”

“Really appreciate Nina and Leo coming during this extreme heat and taking such good care of our two cats. And making the extra effort for Dusty as she’s so shy. They were very courteous and communicative. Was very relieving to have them drop in and feed and take care of the cats when we were not around. Thanks!!”
“Alexa took excellent care of my cat while I was away. My cat has separation anxiety and can't be left alone. I needed someone at the last minute and she took the job. She communicated well, shared lots of cute pictures and videos, and I could tell my cat loved her. Would definitely hire her again!”
“Julia is AMAZING! If I could give her 11 stars I would. I am such an anxious cat mom and Julia made me feel so comfortable leaving my baby all weekend under her care. She sent thorough updates, and tons of cute and funny pictures of my kitty. She is so communicative and you can tell she really cares for your pet like they’re her own. I would recommend Julia to anyone I know, and will definitely be having her watch my Lola anytime we need someone from now on!”
“She did a wonderful job taking care of my cats! Her communication was always clear and consistent, and she made sure to keep me updated every day. She fed them, played with them, and made sure their litter was changed and clean. My cats were happy and well-cared-for the entire time. She was always on time and extremely reliable. I would definitely book with her again!”
About: I’ve had cats all my life. I can't remember a time growing up when we didn't have at least one feline friend in the home. I have lots of experience caring for cats with special needs, and I provided hospice care for one of my senior cats, having to administer shots, pills, and IV bags on a strict schedule. I understand how difficult it is to leave a special-needs pet in someone else's care, but with me, your cats will always be in good hands!
About: I have over ten years of experience working with cats, both as a cat sitter for family and friends and volunteering at multiple cat rescues. I have fostered over 15 cats throughout my time as a foster and am a patient, empathetic, caring cat sitter. My top priority is ensuring your cat’s comfort and safety, and respecting their space.
“Tillana took such good care of our cat over the holidays ❤️ it was so reassuring to know he was having a great time with such a loving caretaker while we were away. We absolutely loved getting all the pictures each day, and we would rewatch the videos she sent all the time.”
“Best sitter!!! My kitties all love her so much, highly recommend if anyone needs a caring and friendly sitter while they are out! You will enjoy your trip even more knowing your kitties will be in good hands.”
“As always, we knew we could trust Kim with taking care of Tofu! She was so patient and detail-oriented when it came to communications and follow-ups. We appreciate Kim so much!”
“This was our first time having Rachel look after our boys! She did an excellent job and was stellar with her questions and attention to detail. She had questions for us about details we forgot on our OWN cat instructions. If you are looking for a new cat sitter - look no further!”
“Octavia took care of our cat, Roni, while we traveled with our dogs. We came back to a happy cat! I’m grateful we have found Octavia. She does a great job and is very communicative about how everything is going when we are out of town.”
About: I spent time as a SPCA cat socializer with perfectly healthy kitties and some with significant health needs. We were expected to keep them company whether energetic kitten, disconnected and scared cat or even sick cats being treated. I’d play with the ones that wanted to play, sit with the shy ones and learn how to properly read their behavior and respond appropriately to get them more comfortable with humans. I raised my own cat who was a pretty easy going one from the get go. But my training and experience as a socializer helped me navigate ways to best support my other two kitties’ needs, and friends’ kitties’ needs more adeptly. Cat behavior is nuanced and I pride myself in looking for an animal’s signals to ensure I’m helping them be comfortable.
About: Animals have always been my jam. One of my favorite quotes is, "Dogs are angels sent down by god to teach us how to unconditionally love". When I'm surrounded by animals I feel at peace and because of that they feel content and loved. I've always had connections with animals on a very deep level. I feel they have so much to teach us and that earning an animals trust is one of life's most highest honors. With all my friends and family I've always been "chosen" by their cats and have been their dogs favorite person outside the family. I have a gift with animals that has allowed me the privilege to take care of and connect with many throughout the years. I do most of my work at home online and I'm a homebody so my pet care is part of my normal daily routine. I want them to feel that they're never alone. I feed, walk, play games cuddle and treat them as my own.If they need medicine, I can help with that as well. The hardest part of doing a service like this is when I leave them I miss them dearly until next time I see them.
“Daria was a wonderful cat sitter in our home! She was extremely attentive and flexible. She sent me plenty of pictures and updates throughout and played with our cats each day to keep them happy.”

“Tillana took such good care of Benny and went out of her way to make sure that he was comfortable during day care. She also sent lots of photos and regular updates which I truly appreciate! 💙”
“Stacey was great to work with! She was a great communicator, made pick up and drop off very easy and checked in with me throughout Bogey’s stay. My pupper seemed super comfortable and at easy with her and her dogs as well. Will definitely be working with her again :)”
“Sein is a fantastic sitter! She takes great care of my pup Little Bear and you can tell she’s very gentle with him (he has separation anxiety). Always responsive and ensures Little Bear has many walks and is fed as requested. Highly, highly recommend booking with Sein!!”
“Allison has been absolutely amazing with our puppy, Lulu! She has great communication, is very flexible, and clearly truly cares about the dogs she watches. From the beginning, she took the time to ask detailed questions about Lulu’s routine so she could keep everything as consistent as possible while we were away. She sent pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind, and it was obvious Lulu was happy and well cared for. What really appreciated was that even though Lulu is still in training, Allison continued the habits and routines we’ve been working on at home. There was no disruption when Lulu came back to us, no acting out or setbacks. We will absolutely be repeat clients and would recommend her without hesitation. If you want someone who will genuinely care for your pet like their own, Allison is your person!”
“Patrina was amazing to work with! She took the time to meet with me before hand to make sure King and Bogey would get along. During Bogey’s stay, she was very communicative and sent lots of photos of all the fun activities. Bogey looked like he had a great time and was so content when I picked him up. I will definitely be using Patrina again!”
“Alissa was so sweet! She accommodated our last minute booking due to an urgent need and I felt so lucky that we found her! She also took amazing pictures of my dog ?❤️ We'd have definitely gone to Alissa again if we didn't move out of Seattle. Highly recommended!”
About: I have periodically taken care of a family members dog which also included home stays (two week maximum), outdoor adventures, and beach visits. I currently do doggy day outs at pet shelters when needed and have had no trouble in the past. I have always been a dog lover and enjoy meeting new furry friends daily. I currently work with the city of Redwood City during the night shift so my days are completely free and I’m looking to fill them with friendly fun companions as we take adventures together and create wonderful memories for your pups I have a furry nephew by the name of Larry who is a golden retriever that loves meeting new people and animals on the daily. We usually go for walks after breakfast everyday then come home for a small nap. Once the good boy is up from his name we will have lunch then follow up with an afternoon hike or a walk by the water to introduce him to new smells. I do have a fenced yard that has plenty of space for play dates or doggy days in as well as a loving mother that cooks homemade dog food for our furry friends which we have had no trouble feeding them and accommodate to our furry friends needs.
About: I’m an experienced dog sitter who had just relocated from San Francisco. I regularly watched a dog 3 times a week and can take up to 2 dogs at once. I've helped take care of my parents dog for 8 years since she was a puppy and I take her to the beach, for walks, to play at the dog park, and bathe her regularly. I work until 3pm so I have plenty of time in the afternoon to take pups out for walks. I love meeting new dogs and am used to high energy dogs. I am very comfortable around dogs and want your dog to be happy. I am very clean and want to be considerate of your space.
“Carolina took great care of our dog! Sent us several cute photos and videos throughout the day and took her on some enriching sniff walks. We did pick up and drop off as well and she was very communicative and left our dog calm and tired with her white noise on. 🩷”
“An and Justin were so kind and lovely. They took great care of Bertie for the day and sent such cute pictures to let me know how she was doing. Highly recommend and look forward to working with them again!”
About: We have a standard poodle Joki - who joined us in 2020 from a breeder. Joki is well trained and behave very well with other animals and people. I’m currently work from home so I am able to take care of pers all day during the day and provide multiple potty breaks as need. We have fenced front and back yard available for dogs to play and break. We can offer a fence if two dogs need to be kept separate.
“Karla was awesome. She was super caring and sweet with our puppy, sent tons of photos, and was very accommodating when we ran behind schedule. Would definitely recommend leaving your pups with her!”
“Andrea was the absolute best with our 13 week old puppy, Bruno! She was easy to communicate with, responsive and took great care of Bruno. My fiancé and I received updates and photos throughout the day which put us both at ease. It was our first time using a sitter through Rover and I could not recommend Andrea enough.”
“Our dogs had a great time at Olga’s daycare! She sent us pictures during the day so we could see how much fun they were having! We will be asking Olga again to care for our dogs!”

“Josh did a great job!! He made sure my dog got plenty of exercise, sent regular updates, and took great care of her! I would recommend him to anyone who needs their pet looked after”
“Cordigen has been wonderful at providing weekly visits for our puppy, Sammy, and our 8 year old dog, June. I can tell from the photos she sends that they have a great time with her on their 3x/week visits and really appreciate all the care she shows for them. Highly recommend!”
About: I have done short term pet sitting for my friends and neighbors, feeding their cats and dogs in the morning and night. I like to take the time to play with the pets too rather than being in and out. Personally, I have had 2 cats and 2 dogs and both my dogs are larger breeds. My golden lab was quite the trouble maker and I was present during his training, so I can say I will most likely be able to train walking etiquette for jumpy dogs. I have been around many animals from cats to sheep and they all took their time getting to know me, but in the end they all love me. I currently have no obligations so pet care would form my schedule. I can spend as much or as little time as you want with the critters! In my own home I have a fenced yard and easy outdoor access. I would go back and forth with the pet to make sure they are safe and seen and have adequate potty breaks. If the client wants the pet to remain in one spot I can make that happen as well.
About: I am a lifelong cat owner with plenty of dog-sitting and walking experience. I have experience with all ages of cats and dogs and am comfortable with most pet medical needs. I have recently moved to California and have yet to move into a FT job so I have plenty of time throughout the week to drop-in I always leave an environment better than I found it and understand that pet safety and security is the most important thing to pet parents. I have clear and consistent communication and have no problem giving reassurance and updates throughout the day.
“Tillana was fantastic to work with! She went above and beyond and did much more than we expected. We loved that she was very communicative and sent us lots of doggy photos. She was extremely thoughtful with our pup and we highly recommend her! Thank you Tillana!”
“Gloria was very punctual and communicated extremely well with me. She was able to help me out last minute and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to take care of their furry friends!”
About: I have my own 7 year old corgi whom I love to take on social outings, and have always wanted to own a ranch to foster dogs and other animals. for now, this will do🤓 I enjoy popping in to see my friends’ dogs while they’re at work to take them out for potty breaks & play, and watching my friends’ dogs when they go on trips~ Currently on a 3 month LOA from my nursing job, but am planning on taking a break afterwards due to burnout. Because of that I’m flexible and able to adjust to whatever needs pets may have! Currently I wake up, walk Toast (my corgi), hangout with him for a bit and then run errands if there are any. I can then pop in for a drop in/walk elsewhere (and bring toast too possibly)! He’s an integral part of my life so he’s always involved if he can be! My husband is an anesthesia MD resident at Stanford so he’s often at the hospital with long hours — all that to say he’s not very high maintenance as well so I have more wiggle room with my schedule :) I love dogs, and will always treat yours like I treat mine :) Will leave Toast at home if your dog is not up for socializing, but can also bring Toast if your dog needs some doggie time.
About: I’ve grown up with Labrador Retrievers my whole life and got my very first puppy when I was 15. More recently, I brought home a French Bulldog, and it’s been such a joy watching him grow from a tiny puppy into the sweet, fun 1-year-old he is now! Having pets has always been a big part of my life, and I truly love caring for them I work from home so I am usually pretty available! I do have a lot of virtual calls so I cannot usually do last minute walks but can plan around my day! I am completely free after 3:30 PM everyday. I have a French bulldog who loves to play and spends a lot of his time cuddled up with us. We also have a huge patio that is fenced in and a dog area to let them roam around and play.
About: I’ve always been around dogs and have a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet. I also have experience caring for a dog with seizures, which taught me to stay calm, attentive, and responsive to a pet’s needs. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. 🐾❤️ I’m currently on a flexible summer schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care and their needs. I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I’ll make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages. I always treat both pets and homes with care and respect. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience while you’re away. 🐾❤️
“Danielle had been such a great source of support for walking my dog when I have been traveling. She is so communicative and goes above and beyond to help and I can’t ask for a better person to take care of my dog when I am away.”
“Octavia is amazing! Very communicative and knows how to handle dogs incredibly well. Her dog training experience is super key and nice to have. She's been able to help our dog already not react as strongly to other dogs passing by. She's definitely becoming out go to person to take care of our dog in San Jose.”
“I highly recommend Ian! I was in a bind with my dog named Havoc and I needed a person to help care for him and walk him during the day. I reached out to Ian and immediately felt at ease! Ian has walked my dog several times for me and is always quick to communicate! I highly highly recommend Ian and will be booking walks in the future!”
About: When you’re away, I step in to provide a loving, safe, and calming environment for your beloved pets. I understand how much they mean to you, so I ensure their comfort, happiness, and routines are my top priority. From engaging play sessions to gentle cuddles, mealtime routines, and plenty of belly rubs, I treat your pets with the same care and affection I’d give my own. Whether it’s a purr of contentment or a wagging tail of joy, you can rest easy knowing your pets are in caring, dependable hands. Peace of mind for you, love and happiness for them! I’m currently available for pet sitting throughout most of the week, so I can ensure they receive the attention and love they deserve. Whether it’s regular visits, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I provide pet care both in my home and yours, ensuring a safe and comfortable environment wherever your pets feel most at ease. In my home, they’ll enjoy a loving atmosphere with plenty of playtime and personal attention. If you prefer, I’m also happy to care for them in their own familiar surroundings—maintaining their routines and helping reduce stress. Please note: The listed rate for house sitting is for overnight care only. If you’re looking for daytime care, extended hours, or a custom schedule, feel free to message me to discuss availability and rates. Your pet’s comfort and well-being are always my top priorities!
