“Having to leave behind a pet is already heart breaking enough and then to look for a reliable pet sitter is another challenge. Fortunately we found Vanson, he took care of our dog, Brodie, for 2.5 weeks and kept in touch with us the entire time with messages, pictures and videos of their activities. It was comforting to know that our pet was in good hands and well cared for. We will definitely entrust Brodie with Vanson again in the future.”
“Stefanile is a great sitter. She was incredibly accommodating and patient in dealing with my dog—a rather shy, introverted, and somewhat challenging dog. Given her deep understanding of canine personalities and traits, as well as her extensive experience as a sitter, I was able to entrust Chaco to her care with peace of mind. She sent updates and photos, making communication very easy. Thank you!”
“Starlee is always nervous with new people and animals. I can tell Natalie cares a lot and did a great job making her feel comfortable. When I came to pick her up she was a lot more relaxed and happy. I will definitely be using her services again.”
“Peter is very kind and easy to communicate and work with. Peter is accessible and transparent while you’re away, which takes one important task off your plate when traveling for work. I could tell Ziba had a great time given her excitement to play with Peter when we picked her up. Thanks, Peter. 🙏🏼”
“A last minute request for a dog sitter while we were on a road trip resulted in a very satisfactory experience for us, first-time Rover customers. Abigail was caring, informative, and responsive to our 13-year-old pup, Nellie. So happy to have found Abigail, and we recommend her highly!! We’ll certainly keep Rover in mind for the future! Great app!! Wow!!!”
“Justine is awesome overall! She is kind, caring, pays great attention to detail and is very responsive. Xander was with Justine for a week and we were at peace knowing that he was with someone who cared about him as much as we do! Additionally, her pup Bodi just wants to play with your dog :) On her end, Justine also kept us in the loop the whole time with regular pics and videos and went above and beyond in caring for Xander with regular walks, play time and park time! I recommend her with no reservations and would happily board Xander with her again.”
“Liam and Nadia have been great! Our dog had a wonderful stay and we received pictures and updates throughout our vacation. Liam and Nadia were also very accommodating when our vacation initially fell through at the last minute. They cancelled our appointment without a fee and graciously booked us again on a later date.”
“Renee has been amazing! She sent us daily photos and updates. My dog Snowball seemed to have so much fun and when I picked him up, he was super happy and healthy! Thank you so much Renee!”
“Before confirming the booking, Kosmo did a meet and greet with Karen's family and other dogs. Kosmo immediately wanted to play and I could tell he was comfortable. Kosmo ate well while at Karen's and seemed in good spirits when we picked him up. I won't hesitate to book with Karen again should we need boarding.”
“Earl loved his stay with Barsha! This was our second time having Barsha watch Earl and we could not be happier with the fast communication and lots of photos & videos of him playing and having fun during his stay!”
“Shirley is awesome! She took good care of twinkle while we're on vacation. I wanted to take her with us. But unfortunately, she's not allowed. I found Shirley & glad that I did. She constantly sending me updates & picture of my baby. Would definitely have her take care of ny twinkle next time that I can't take her with us.”
“We are so happy to find Nakul after struggling to find long times sitter that moved to San Diego. Our corgi Cooper was happy and comfortable while we were away. Very easy to communicate, we would definitely use Nakul again.”
“Honestly, I'm still trying to figure out what will happen if Lauren is not available for my fur babies. Nylah and Whitney exhibited behavior with Lauren that they truly don't do when I'm not around. It's not just that my babies were cared for they were loved. And trust, animals absolutely will show you if they weren't loved up on. 10/10 recommended!”
“Jennifer was great and gave my family and I a peace of mind while we left our new puppy in her hands to care for. She loves animals and it shows. She treated our puppy as if it was her own. Jennifer also knew a puppy took extra care- and walked her in the morning and at night to avoid the zoomies. Photos and/or a video was sent several times during our vacation which truly made our day! We will absolutely use Jennifer again for future trips while we’re in the puppy stage. Thanks again, Jennifer and family. Freyja says “Ruff!””
“Colleen and her husband Paul are so attentive and caring. My little dog had a great time with them. They have dog beds, comfy blankets and so much more. My dog loved the backyard and laying in the sun! Looking forward to next time! Thanks so much!”
“Absolutely awesome job watching Linguini! Pictures and updates were fantastic, I could tell he was having a good time and he was well taken care of! He currently has allergies and she made sure he got his special food and allergy meds! Will definitely use for next time!”
“Lisa is the Gem of all Gems! She made my dog feel comfortable immediately, and me too :) She was responsive, flexible, kind, and generous with her (dog) love! Hats off to Lisa, she’s the best!”
“Charlie had a great time with Sally and also got the opportunity to play with a few pups while she was there. Sally took great care of Charlie and sent pics and videos. I’ll definitely ask Sally to care for Charlie next time I need help.”
“Huda was wonderful. I can tell she really loved my dog and was able to work with him as he can be anxious on walks. He came home happy and I could tell he was comfortable. Huda really seems to have a way with dogs, she gets them. She’s also a great communicator and kind person. Thank you Huda, we are so happy to have found you!”

“Isaiah did a great job checking in on my two cats over a long weekend! He was very communicative, reliable, and my cats seemed to warm up to him quickly! I will definitely plan to use Isaiah again in the future.”
“Saylor is really great with my puppy, he truly enjoy his time with her. She is responsive and communicate well. I want to gatekeep her but she is very good! Would definitely recommend her to everyone else!”
“Nancy was wonderful with my cats! She was so sweet and they seemed to warm up to her instantly. She was very helpful accommodating when the timing of my plans changed and I was confident that my cats were well cared for while I was away. I will definitely request Nancy’s services again in the future!”
About: Cats have a special place in my heart. When taking neighborhood walks, I'll stop for any cat that wants a pet. My friends call me the cat whisperer because I can get even the most shy cat to warm up to me. I've had cats since I was 7 years old and currently have a fluffy tuxedo whose litter box is cleaned daily and who gets brushed, fed, and played with every day.
“Maria always does a great job looking after our cat Magus. She takes great photos and makes sure to clean the litter, administer his meds, and ensure he has his food and playtime.”
About: I have loved animals my entire life and always went out of my way to interact with them whenever I could. At the age of 14, my family decided to adopt a cat. We rescued her from the SFSPCA and I was the one in charge of her car. We later adopted two more cats from the SFSPCA over the next two years. I also grew up with Akitas, a Pittbull/Labrador Retriever mix, fish, and hamsters. As a young adult, I adopted and trained a Blue Heeler/Pitbull mix from 9-weeks-old. I also fostered a variety of animals from 2010-2012, from dogs and cats, to hamsters and exotics (including a hedgehog, rabbits, ferrets, and chinchillas). Today I am a single mom with two amazing older children. Our household is still full of animal love! We are owned by an adopted, blind Pekingese/Tibetan Spaniel mix, two rescued cats, two rescued tortoises, two betta fish, two African dwarf frogs, a Pixie frog, two scorpions, two vinegaroons, and a Gargoyle Gecko. I currently work evenings only. This leaves my days free to care for my own family’s animals companions and for the animal companions of others! ❤️ I believe in treating anyone’s animals not only with the same respect and care I would want for my own, but also the love and care I offer to my own animal companions. I have animals with a variety of needs and am used to being flexible and meeting animals where they are. ❤️
About: I have loved animals since I first learned what an animal was and 27 years into life I haven't stopped! I have 7+ years of dog/cat/house sitting experience and I can administer medications if needed, along with taking care of other typical pet sitting tasks such as feeding, walking, playing, bathing, and of course, offering lots of affection and pets! Currently I’m in school (mostly online) for pre vet-med and working just as a pet sitter so I have plenty of free time to watch over your fur babies! :) I am always willing to personalize my services to best conform to your pets' medical, physical, and emotional well-being, just let me know what specific needs your pet(s) have and I will cater to them!
About: Previously owned and trained our family dog until his passing some years ago. I have birds, fish, and have been caring for family friends' dogs. I am currently willing to help, care, and walk your dogs. A great way to fill in the time as I stay home, go to school, and improve life as to looking forward to care for your dog. My dog was fed a mix of wet and dry food, water bowl always full, and daily drive/park/play/walks/hikes (regarding the weather at the current moment of time).
About: I've taken care of cats and even helped train them since I was a toddler. I absolutely love caring for cats. I’m very patient and gentle, and I give them time to warm up at their own pace. I’m often told, “They never come out for people,” or “How did you get them to play? They’re usually so shy!” I truly enjoy getting to know each cat’s personality and routine so they feel comfortable, curious, and secure while you’re away.
“Meghan was great very good on communication and took excellent care of our cat. It was very hot when she visited and she took extra care to make sure Kiitty was safe will definitely use her again!”
About: Hi! I have worked in vet med for 3 years, with ER being the last 1.5 years. I am well-versed at handling fearful and reactive animals, as well as animals that have been in shelters. I have 2 years of experience with foster dogs as well, and my own dog is a rescue! I am comfortable giving meds of all sorts and also upholding any training your pet needs while you're gone. Finally, I am RECOVER CPR certified for dogs and cats! Let's discuss how I can make your pet feel comfy!
“Jessica did an outstanding job with daily drop-ins with our two cats. She was professional, communicative, and flexible - we would highly recommend her to anyone in the Walnut Creek area. The easiest 5-star review I've ever had!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and just love them! I will give your pup lots of TLC ❤️. I’m very active and enjoy taking dogs on walks and runs. I currently have two dogs at my moms house and three at my dads that I am around often. I have plenty of experience owning dogs and taking care of them. I know how important feeding and taking them out at specific time frames is based on their needs. I watch my parents dogs whenever they are gone on business or vacation, they always trust me to take care of their furry friends. I can’t wait to meet yours and take care of them as well! I am a pediatric occupational therapist and work at school for kids with special needs. :) I work full time as an occupational therapist I am available on weekends and before / after work. I work m-f 8-4:30 and I am off work all of July. I like to follow however the owner cares for their pets to keep them on their regular routine as closely as possible! I will also cuddle with them and play with them!

“First day care for Megatron was a success! Thank you Connie for the regular updates with pictures. Left us reassured that she’s having a good time with the other pups. Thanks again!”
“Best dog care experience I have ever had! Blueberry was handled with the utmost professional care and exceeded my expectations. Vanson is so attentive to my dog's personal needs by ensuring she is given her treats I provided and following any instructions given. He has a wonderful backyard with sweet doggos of his own who are very playful and got along great with my dog. He ensures a wonderful experience for both my dog and myself. Took my dog on walks which I could see in the Rover app and sent pics throughout the day of my dog. Such peace of mind! My dog didn't even want to go home with me after having such a good time. Book with Vanson, you will not regret it!”
“Thank you so much Stefanie, for meeting me early in the morning & taking such great care of my pup for a full day! I really appreciated the photos and updates. I would absolutely recommend you!”
“Justine is nothing short of amazing! We were looking for someone who could handle the puppy energy of our sweet, 8 month-old Shih Tzu, and Justine and Bodi fit the bill. After a couple initial visits at their house, we brought Ollie over for a full day, and he absolutely LOVED it. Justine is fantastic. She’s professional, super responsive, and is just generally warm and kind. She understood our anxieties around the touchy nature of socializing a puppy, and she handled it all with grace and ease. We feel so lucky to have Justine as an invaluable resource not just for us, but for Ollie, too. Thanks so much!”
“Shadow loved his daycare visits with Neela & family. Neela was able to take us very last-minute for three days of day visits. Neela's house was clean and safe, and we were able to work together on drop-off and pick-up times. Thank you for taking such great care of Shadow!”
About: I have several years of hands‑on experience caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities and needs. I’ve worked with puppies, seniors, shy or anxious dogs, and high‑energy breeds, as well as those requiring extra medical care. I am comfortable administering medications, following specific routines, and providing attentive, personalized care for each dog. I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and energy levels, and I’m always mindful of subtle signs of stress or discomfort. For nervous or sensitive dogs, I take a calm and patient approach, allowing them to feel safe and comfortable at their own pace. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or quiet companionship, I tailor care to match their personality and routine. My goal is to provide a safe, loving environment where your dog is treated like family and feels right at home. I am available for dog boarding on both weekdays and weekends, offering flexible scheduling to fit your needs. Whether it’s a short stay or an extended visit, I ensure consistent care, attention, and a comfortable routine for your pup throughout their stay. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable home environment for pets. My home has a large fenced backyard where dogs can play, exercise, and enjoy outdoor time safely. I make sure every pet feels relaxed, cared for, and treated like family. I closely follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and special care instructions. Safety, trust, cleanliness, and plenty of attention are always my top priorities.
“Liam and Nadia took great care of our pup Max. This was my first time using Rover and Liam was very helpful answering all my questions. He asked me questions about Max to ensure he was well taken care of and he kept me posted on how he was doing. Will definitely book again.”
“We highly recommend having Karen watch your dogs, she is like the dog whisperer. Our dogs both had a great time playing with her dogs and were exhausted when we came back to pick them up. They both just blended right in like they had been there before and they have never acted that way before. We will definitely use her again without a doubt.”
“Highly recommend Nicole. She was super flexible and accommodating with drop off and pick up. Spartacus would perk right up when he saw her - I could see he was in good hands. Loved the pictures and updates too!”
“Such a great Dog Sitter. Pictures throughout the day and a great update at the end of the day. Maverick will definitely go back to hang out with Nicole and her beautiful golden. Thank you so much for all the love and care of our fur a baby.”
“Colleen looked after our dog Mocha twice, and each time was absolutely wonderful! Right from the meet and greet, Colleen's warm and caring nature put both Mocha and us at ease. Mocha took an instant liking to her, which made us feel really comfortable leaving our furry family member in her care. Colleen's communication was spot-on, always keeping us updated with messages and pictures throughout the day. It was such a relief to know that Mocha was in good hands and enjoying her time with Colleen. We're so grateful to have found Colleen through Rover and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable doggy day care.”
“Barsha was great and my puppy was very happy at the end of the day with her. She kept me updated with texts and photos. Even some videos of Ozzie playing, which put me at ease seeing him so comfortable and playful. We already have another day booked for Ozzie to be with Barsha.”
“Tamiko was great! She took such good care of my French bulldog and was very attentive the whole time. I loved getting frequent updates and photos - it really put me at ease. My little guy was happy and well cared for, and I’d recommend anyone, particularly with a French bulldog, to give her a call!”
“Nakul was the best thing that happened to my pups. I have many dogs and thus have worked with many sitters. But Nakul was the best sitter I have ever worked with. I needed to board my 18 dogs at the last moment because of some issues with my property. Nakul not only agreed at the 11th hour, but also took care of them like his own. All of my 18 dogs had a room for themselves and they had a big yard to run around. He took a great picture of my dogs all in one frame which I have never been able to. He is truly a dog whisperer. Nakul has earned a client for life. 100% recommended.”
“Thank you for taking good care of Megatron, she sits on our laps alot at home so it’s great to know she’s comfortable at her day care and was able to do the same. Will rebook soon.”

About: I offer calm, personalized care in a quiet home where your dog is treated like family, not one of many in a busy boarding facility or a home with multiple dogs. I typically host one household at a time, so your dog gets my full attention, genuine affection, and all the cuddles they can handle. My home is the right fit for friendly dogs who love companionship, walks, and settling into a peaceful routine. I'm especially drawn to dogs who thrive with one-on-one attention rather than the noise and energy of a busy multi-dog environment. I'm certified in Pet CPR, Healing Touch for Animals, and Reiki. And beyond the credentials, I'm deeply attuned to each dog's personality and energy. That attunement is what helps them settle in quickly and feel genuinely at ease. My connection to animals runs deep. I spent five years volunteering at Lindsay Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, working in both the mammal department and wildlife hospital with injured and recovering animals. That experience sharpened my understanding of animal behavior and reinforced something I already believed: animals feel safety before they understand it. My goal is always to create that feeling from the moment your dog arrives! Because I work from home, pets in my care are rarely left alone for long periods and receive plenty of attention, walks, and companionship throughout the day. When pets stay in my home, they become part of a calm and comfortable daily routine. I primarily host dogs from 1 household at a time so each pet receives plenty of individual attention. Dogs here enjoy daily walks, playtime, and relaxed downtime, and I’m home much of the day since I work from home. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs so they feel safe and settled. For drop-in visits or walks in a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, walks, litter care for cats, playtime, and companionship. I’m happy to send photo updates so owners know their pets are doing well.
“Vanessa is friendly, communicative, and reliable. I really appreciated how patient she was in allowing my pup Leo to take his time warming up to her—it made a big difference. Highly recommend!”
“A big thank you to Jenna for helping keep Milo active during my long work days. I booked Jenna for two 1-hour walks and I could tell Milo had a great time with her. He was pleasantly exhausted from his active day.”
“I didn't get to meet Halona in person, but my wife said she was very nice. Also, she was quick with responses when we were planning the walk for my dog. I will definitely contact her again! Thank you!”
“Maria goes above and beyond to make sure Leo gets a good walk and all his puppy needs are met. She even stopped in for a quick potty break when she was in the area on an extremely hot day. I trust her and highly recommend her!”
About: I have a lot of experience with cats and dogs. I have very strong communication and patience skills which aid with animals. I work very closely with pet owners to give/take feedback and guidance. I’m currently home from college and currently attending summer classes. My availability is very flexible and I can’t wait to interact with animals. My animals at my house have a yard to play in and I am well experienced with getting “door dashers” insides and out of places.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who has grown up with dogs in my home since I was little. As a pet parent, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your furry family member. I love spending time with dogs, whether that means playing, going for walks, giving belly rubs, or simply cuddling and keeping them company. My goal is to provide safe, loving, and attentive care for every pet as if it were my own. I also want pet parents to have peace of mind knowing their beloved companion is in kind, trustworthy hands. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! 🐶🐾 I work from home, which gives a flexible schedule and allows me to be available for pets throughout the day. I can provide care during my lunch breaks, before or after work hours and I am also available on weekends and most holidays. This flexibility allows me to give pets the attention, companionship, exercise and care they need while helping pet parents feel confident that their furry family members are in good hands. When care for pets in a clients home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being at all times. I carefully follow all instructions and routines provided by the pet parent, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medication requirements, and any special care requests. My goal is to create a calm, loving environment where pets feel safe. Because of my availability, I have the flexibility to schedule and can accommodate a variety of care preferences. If desired, I can provide visits in the morning, during lunch, and in the evening/night to check on pets as well.
About: Hi! I have worked in vet med for 3 years, with ER being the last 1.5 years. I am well versed at handling fearful and reactive animals, as well as animals that have been in shelters. I have 2 years of experience with foster dogs as well, and my own dog is a rescue! I am comfortable giving meds of all sorts and also upholding any training your pet needs while you're gone. Finally, I am RECOVER CPR certified for dogs and cats! Let's discuss how I can make your pet feel comfy! My work schedule is currently very flexible, and I am very communicative and good about adjusting my availability. I will not accept jobs on the days I go into the hospital to provide the best pet care. I am happy to follow whatever you communicate with me to make your baby feel comfortable! I am happy to crate them or let them free roam when gone, as per your discretion, and I'm always mindful of objects around the house that could be accidentally ingested or they could hurt themselves on.
About: Over the past four years, I’ve raised and trained my corgi, Milo, through both group classes and one-on-one sessions. This hands-on experience has taught me how to build trust, reinforce confidence, and provide attentive, compassionate care to dogs of all personalities. I'm currently in a hybrid Physical Therapy program which allows me to have a flexible schedule. This allows me the flexibility to provide care throughout the day. At my place, I make sure pets feel right at home. I keep things calm, cozy, and safe, with plenty of playtime, cuddles, and attention. I stick to their usual routine as much as possible—whether it’s feeding, walking, or nap time—so they feel comfortable and cared for.
About: I’m a dog lover and mom. I had a Boston Terrier who passed away. She was by my side kick for 15 years. One of my most favorite things to do was come home from work and walk my dog. So I’d love to share my love of walking with your dog! We love the companionship of dogs. We welcome any dogs for walks and overnight stays. I love dogs and they love me! I don’t mind the kisses or giving them the best belly scratches! I believe dogs give us a reason to smile and are a reminder to always lead with love. I promise to love your dog as if he/she were my own. I’m looking forward to spending time outside in different neighborhoods with new dogs. Please message me with any questions. I work locally and come home for a 2 hour lunch break. My teenagers are home around 3 pm so the longest time that dogs are alone is 2-3 hours (depending on if I have an early lunch). I walk the dogs in the morning for about 1-2 miles through the neighborhood. I walk them on my lunch again for about .5-1 mile. Then one more long walk when I get home. I feed them when we return from our morning and evening walks. Unless, there is a preferred set schedule for feeding. Your dog will be loved and cared for as if he/she is our own. We always walk on-leash. We separate the dogs during feeding times.
About: Hi, I’m Joe — a lifelong dog lover who treats every pup like my own… right down to the love, the cuddles, and the occasional meatball. I’m home all day, so your dog gets constant attention, companionship, and plenty of affection. My home is relaxed and dog-friendly, with a big, fully fenced yard for safe play, sniffing adventures, and stretching their legs. Inside, pups can lounge wherever they feel comfortable — the couch, their bed, or right next to us. At night, everyone’s welcome in the bedroom, whether they prefer their own spot or decide mine looks more comfortable. (It usually does.) Being home all day means your dog gets frequent potty breaks, a calm routine, and tons of quality time. I send regular photo updates so you can see exactly how well your pup is settling in. Along with boarding, I also offer drop-in visits, in-home sitting, and dog walking, giving you flexible and reliable care options. If you’re looking for someone who will genuinely love, spoil, and treat your dog like family — with all the comfort and maybe a meatball or two — I’d be honored to welcome them. I am home full-time, allowing me to provide constant supervision and care. Pet care seamlessly fits into my routine through regular walks, attention, and companionship. In my home, dogs enjoy a large fenced yard, supervised play, and full comfort—allowed on furniture, loved like family, and welcome to sleep beside us.
About: Hello, my name is Kristen. I am a dog lover with over a decade of experience housesitting and petsitting and have experience working with dogs of all ages, temperaments and breeds. I grew up with a cocker spaniel and a labradoodle and feel most at peace in the presence of animals. I graduated from the University of California, Berkeley and currently work fully remote. I live in a home in Concord with a large fenced in yard. Your pet must be house trained with reliable recall. Please don't hesitate to send me a message if you have any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I currently work fully remote (part-time) for a medical center in the East Bay. I am typically available to take pets out for a potty break and walk every 2-3 hours. Pets are allowed on all furniture and beds, however, if they have a particular preference for their own bed or crate I have space to accommodate.
“Melissa was great. Although my poor scared sensitive rescue Chi always hid from her, Melissa was aware and made sure she did what she could to make Trinket stay calm. She was only able to pet her unfortunately. Trinket is so small she can go and hide in the smallest spaces and it was not easy to get her out. I will definitely use Melissa again once Trinket gains more confidence.”

“Stefanile is a great sitter. She was incredibly accommodating and patient in dealing with my dog—a rather shy, introverted, and somewhat challenging dog. Given her deep understanding of canine personalities and traits, as well as her extensive experience as a sitter, I was able to entrust Chaco to her care with peace of mind. She sent updates and photos, making communication very easy. Thank you!”
“Peter is very kind and easy to communicate and work with. Peter is accessible and transparent while you’re away, which takes one important task off your plate when traveling for work. I could tell Ziba had a great time given her excitement to play with Peter when we picked her up. Thanks, Peter. 🙏🏼”
“Justine is awesome overall! She is kind, caring, pays great attention to detail and is very responsive. Xander was with Justine for a week and we were at peace knowing that he was with someone who cared about him as much as we do! Additionally, her pup Bodi just wants to play with your dog :) On her end, Justine also kept us in the loop the whole time with regular pics and videos and went above and beyond in caring for Xander with regular walks, play time and park time! I recommend her with no reservations and would happily board Xander with her again.”
“Before confirming the booking, Kosmo did a meet and greet with Karen's family and other dogs. Kosmo immediately wanted to play and I could tell he was comfortable. Kosmo ate well while at Karen's and seemed in good spirits when we picked him up. I won't hesitate to book with Karen again should we need boarding.”
“We are so happy to find Nakul after struggling to find long times sitter that moved to San Diego. Our corgi Cooper was happy and comfortable while we were away. Very easy to communicate, we would definitely use Nakul again.”
“Honestly, I'm still trying to figure out what will happen if Lauren is not available for my fur babies. Nylah and Whitney exhibited behavior with Lauren that they truly don't do when I'm not around. It's not just that my babies were cared for they were loved. And trust, animals absolutely will show you if they weren't loved up on. 10/10 recommended!”
“Colleen and her husband Paul are so attentive and caring. My little dog had a great time with them. They have dog beds, comfy blankets and so much more. My dog loved the backyard and laying in the sun! Looking forward to next time! Thanks so much!”
“Lisa is the Gem of all Gems! She made my dog feel comfortable immediately, and me too :) She was responsive, flexible, kind, and generous with her (dog) love! Hats off to Lisa, she’s the best!”
“Huda was wonderful. I can tell she really loved my dog and was able to work with him as he can be anxious on walks. He came home happy and I could tell he was comfortable. Huda really seems to have a way with dogs, she gets them. She’s also a great communicator and kind person. Thank you Huda, we are so happy to have found you!”
“This was my first time using Rover, and since we’ve had our dog, Comet, for only a few months, I was feeling really unsure about the whole process. Allison completely put my mind at ease. It’s clear she has a wealth of knowledge and experience with dogs. She has now watched Comet on multiple occasions, both for overnight boarding and daycare. Comet is always so excited to go back, which is the true review right there! He has so much fun that he usually needs a full day of recovery when he gets home! If she's able to she will take Comet out for a walk but there is so much room for him to run around and play in her yard that he always finds a way to get all his energy out. Allison is incredibly thoughtful, friendly, and consistent with sending pictures and updates throughout the day. I definitely recommend her and plan to continue entrusting her with Comet's care.”
“Provided great care and updates. Even with all of Hudson nuances of not wanting to walk unless it’s with minimum of two people, Nikki and her husband was able to care for Hudson while we were away visiting family in France for 3 weeks. Thanks again.”
“Joseph and Marikris came through on a last-minute reservation and provided exceptional levels of care for my special needs dog. My dog Daisy had been recently diagnosed with IVDD and I was prepared to cancel my trip, but Marikris assured me of her professional veterinary background and familiarity with the condition, and I felt confident trusting J&M with her care. Daisy looked so happy in all the photos they shared, and I feel truly blessed to have found such kind and attentive neighbors to care for my girl. Thank you so much Joseph & Marikris, you guys are amazing and I look forward to working together again 🙌”
“Stacy was such a great fit for our healer with big feelings! She is knowledgeable, kind and easy to communicate with. Stacy sent pics and updates - and it was clear at pickup that Cali enjoyed her stay.”
“Neela was amazing with our boy! She is so responsive and gave us tons of updates with pictures of him on walks, etc. She was so attentive and walked him often! We knew he was in great hands! :)”
“Biswas had been awesome with Teddy! He’s always giving us updates, pictures, and is very considerate. Teddy liked him so much, he did not want to get on the car home! Lol! Will book Biswas again definitely!!! Thank you!!!!”
“Kamila was amazing with our 4 month old GSD puppy! I knew it was going to be a good fit from the moment we did our meet and greet. Buffy immediately took a liking to her and was already feeling at home when we went inside her place. :D She gave us the option to bring Buffy to work with her and she had the best day hanging out and playing with other dogs. At the end of the day she texted to ask if it was okay to give Buffy a bath because of her full day of puppy play and I of course had no objection to that lol. I really appreciate her thoughtfulness and care though in making sure it was okay and also she wanted to make sure Buffy wasn't allergic to shampoo. I didn't even have to ask her to send me updates, she was just on it throughout the day. She is very responsive with texts and calls too. She took Buffy to work with her again on the second day and once again had a full day of fun. When we got home Buffy crated herself and fell asleep for the evening - it was 7pm! She said Buffy is welcome back so we will definitely be returning! Thank you so much, Kamila!”
About: Hello, my name is Kristen. I am a dog lover with over a decade of experience housesitting and petsitting and have experience working with dogs of all ages, temperaments and breeds. I grew up with a cocker spaniel and a labradoodle and feel most at peace in the presence of animals. I graduated from the University of California, Berkeley and currently work fully remote. I live in a home in Concord with a large fenced in yard. Your pet must be house trained with reliable recall. Please don't hesitate to send me a message if you have any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I currently work fully remote (part-time) for a medical center in the East Bay. I am typically available to take pets out for a potty break and walk every 2-3 hours. Pets are allowed on all furniture and beds, however, if they have a particular preference for their own bed or crate I have space to accommodate.
“Our dog Cocoa had a wonderful stay with Sabrina! It was our first time leaving her with someone new overnight and it couldn't have been easier. Sabrina sent pictures of Cocoa hanging out and messaged me to let me know how things were going. Sabrina is great with dogs!”
