“Amanda and Mitchell did an amazing job taking care of Louie while we were out of town for 5 days. They were great about taking Louie on daily walks and trips to the park, and provided lot updates with photos! They were very understanding when our return flight was delayed, and Amanda even offered to drop him off for free which was a huge help. He was a happy and tired boy when he got home!! Thank you Amanda and Mitchell, we will be back!”
“Kolten and Julia were great pet sitters for our mini schnauzer, Luna! They cared for her as if she were their own dog. They made her feel right at home from the very first moment! They kept us updated on her activities the whole time we were away. We would definitely book future adventures with them!”
“Our dog loved staying at Stefanie’s with her dog Prince. She always sent us updates and pictures. We would love to rebook with her in the future because she’s amazing!”
“We re-booked with Iris for an overnight stay. Our pup had a fun time playing with Bacon, and taking walks in the neighborhood. It was reassuring to receive updates and photos from Iris; very attentive sitter.”
“Sant was absolutely wonderful with Westley! He was incredibly attentive and took great care of him while we were away. His communication was excellent throughout his stay, and he regularly sent us pictures and videos, which really gave us peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Excellent! Our senior dog and puppy both loved their stay. We got lots of pictures and videos while we were away. I felt in the loop the whole time. He answered my question quickly. Helpful reminders and easy drop off and pick up.”
“Lauren was professional, friendly, and kept us updated with pictures throughout the long weekend with Biscotti! He absolutely loved his time with her and they’re definitely new best friends now. We’ll absolutely be using Lauren again to keep our pup happy, comfy, and cozy whenever we’re away.”
“My dog Gracie, who is shy, really enjoyed staying with Nadine. She especially loved Nadine‘s dog Cosmo, and happily played with her. Nadine sent me pictures and videos every day and that set my heart at rest that Gracie was having a wonderful time. I highly recommend Nadine. Gracie will be seen Nadine, Cosmo, and the other dogs again. Thank you so much, Nadine.”
About: As long as I can remember, I’ve been around dogs and helping care for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve always loved spending time with animals and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and cared for. I’m patient and attentive to each dog’s individual needs and personality. I’m happy to give energetic dogs longer walks and plenty of exercise, while also taking my time with dogs who may be nervous, older, or need a little extra patience. I’ll make sure your dog gets the attention, exercise, and care they need while you’re away. I’m also happy to send photos and updates so you can know how they’re doing. Whether your dog loves to play, go for walks, explore, or simply relax, I’ll treat them with the care they deserve. I have a pretty flexible schedule, so I can dedicate plenty of time to caring for pets throughout the day. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I'm happy to make sure they get the attention and care they need while you're away and pet care is something i genuinely look forward to. I make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I have a fenced yard where pets can enjoy safe outdoor time, as well as a crate available if needed. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality and needs so they feel comfortable in my care. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for.
“My dog had an amazing time with Liam C. He took the time to learn my dog’s routine, likes and dislikes. I could tell my dog was very comfortable there. Excellent communication, flexibility with pick up and drop off time, clean zen environment. I recommend 100%”
“We have entrusted our pup in Manny’s care a number of times now, and we feel at ease knowing she is in good hands. We love that Manny takes her on regular walks and that his dog Winnie is a companion for her. It’s great that Manny has a doggie door, so she is free to go outside when she wants. We always appreciate the photos Manny sends of our pup while we are away. Thanks for taking such good care of our pup!”
“Peter and Sarah were absolutely incredible with our 9 month old Scout! He stayed with them for 10 days while our house went on the market and we had showings. They sent pictures and video updates and were always keeping me in the loop on how he was getting along with their other dogs! This was like going to the dog park for 10 days for our boy and he loved it! I would book them again in a heartbeat if we weren't moving out of the area!”
“Very friendly and energetic. Sally expresses her love for animals, with a welcoming home and a amazing backyard for doggies to roam around. Gigi was very well taken care of , Sally sent cute picture updates, which was very much appreciated. Highly recommend Sally and we will definitely trust her with Gigi again !!!”
“Donna has been such a gem. She is very flexible. My Coco has special needs with medication and particular eating habits. Donna took great care of Coco while I was gone. It gave me such piece of mind. We are lucky to have found such a compassionate sitter.”

“Amber was so great! She was thoughtful, consistent, and paid attention to every detail. Her updates were also wonderful with lots of cute photos. Thanks so much Amber, it meant so much to not worry about my cats while I was away.”
“Mandy did a great job of taking care of my kitten Clara while I was away. She played with her and made sure she had all her needs met. The pictures were wonderful to see when I was far away! Thank you Mandy.”
“Incredibly kind, communicative, and attentive! This was my first time hiring a pet-sitter/house-sitter and Isaiah was fantastic about sending daily photos. Could not imagine booking with anyone else in the future.”
“Alex is great! She has been taking care of my cat's needs while I am convalescing from back surgery. She's always on time, never cuts any corners and always asks if there is anything else that she can do. She's very motivated. My shy cat likes her, which is a big plus. I highly recommend hiring her!”
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.

“Tessa is truly a hidden gem! Not only did she take wonderful care of our cats and shower them with attention, but she also looked after our home and plants beautifully. She responded quickly to our messages, and when we returned, the house was spotless, as if she had never been there. We couldn’t recommend her more highly!”
“Madeline does the best for your pets and your peace of mind! Fabulous petsitter. We are a repeat customer for her services. We absolutely love the care, attention and professionalism in taking care of our pets for us. She is simply the best! She did drop in visits for us this time for our kitties and they were well taken care of over the holidays and lots of great pics. Thanks so much Madeline. She is our go to petsitter!”
“This is my third time booking with Lily and she is wonderful as always! My cat is almost 14 years old so she can be pretty grumpy and has a hard time adjusting being away from home. Lily went above and beyond in making Cochina feel comfortable. I know I can always count on Lily providing a safe and caring environment for Cochina, and that peace of mind is invaluable.”
About: As a cat parent myself (10+ years and multiple kitties), I know our fur babies have their own unique needs and personalities. Whether your cat is a shy window watcher, a chatty cuddle bug, or a midnight speed racer I tailor my care to match their vibe. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, litter box maintenance, medication (including oral meds), and giving cats space when they need it. I make sure they feel safe, stimulated, and loved while you’re away. Plus, I’ll send you updates with plenty of photos! (because every cat parent deserves a daily dose of whiskers 😸)
About: We will go on walks around my neighborhood or yours, a walking trail that is close to my home and any dog-friendly parks. I enjoy getting out with the animals I care for to get some fresh air, exercise and have some fun! Whether it be throwing their favorite ball, frisbee or other toy for them to play catch, we will have a blast! I love interacting with my client's fur babies to give them the undivided attention and care they deserve. I also enjoy snuggles with them on the couch. I work remotely 2-3 days a week so i am available to spend the day with your dog in those days. 2-3 days a week I am in the office 4-5 hours a day in SF. I will keep the dog in a safe gated area and will never leave them unattended or off of a leash when i have them out. I love to cuddle, kiss and pet your animal and play catch.
About: I have worked at 2 dog facilities, The Meadows Canine Camp in Santa Rosa and I currently work at the Milo Foundation where I walk and adopt out dogs. I currently have a foster named Grayson (boxer) who is good with small dogs and I also own a small Maltese mix named Swiffer. I love animals and I am very qualified to take care of your pet while you are away. Cant wait to meet them! I work at the Milo Foundation in point Richmond. I normally work Tuesday-Saturday but we will soon be closed for renovations for the month of September. I will be very available to pet sitting and boarding as I will be working from home the entire month of September! While walking, your pets safety is my number one priority and I will make sure to walk in areas deemed appropriate by clients. Having dogs of my own, I understand the importance on keeping them safe when out. I also like to use a harnesses when walking to avoid a dogs collar slipping and possibility of getting loose.
“Telena has watched our shy kitty only twice, but has somehow managed to bring her out of her shell!! It normally takes our cat a long time before she warms up to people and she will usually just hide the whole time. But this time she came out and hung out with Telena which is so cool to see! Telena is super patient and kind with our cat, and very responsive while we’re out of town. I highly recommend her services !! Thanks Telena !!”

“We had such a great first experience with Sara! She was incredibly warm and welcoming, and I felt very comfortable leaving Fifi in her care. I really appreciated the updates and photos throughout the day, as well as how attentive she was to Fifi and her individual needs. It was wonderful to hear that she had fun with Sara’s family, including her sweet dog Shadow, and was getting lots of attention and love throughout the day. Fifi was happy and comfortable when I picked her up, which means everything to me. I would absolutely feel good about leaving her with Sara again and I look forward to Fifi’s future stays with her!”
About: I grew up as the daughter of a professional dog trainer, so thoughtful, attentive dog care has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. My partner Mitch and I genuinely love having dogs in our home, and we aim to give every guest safe, loving, individualized care. Our sweet 15-year-old dog, Chunk, is a gentle and easygoing host. We also have a cat, so we’re unable to accept dogs with a history of aggression toward dogs or cats. What a stay with us looks like: • Individualized care for puppies, seniors, high-energy, reactive, and special-needs dogs • A comfortable home setting with a secure fenced yard, cozy resting spots, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of companionship • Daily exercise and enrichment tailored to your dog’s interests, from sniff walks and fetch to hikes, puzzles, and light training practice • Extra safety precautions, including a tracking collar during their stay and long leads for safe outdoor exploration • Thoughtful daily updates with high-quality photos and notes about how your dog is doing • Attentive routine care, including medications, post-adventure checks, basic grooming, and close attention to behavior and wellbeing • A fresh send-off, with brushing, ear and paw care, a gentle freshen-up, and washed bedding, blankets, or toys when needed I’m trained in canine CPR and happy to reinforce basic manners while following your preferred training methods. Every guest also goes home with a personalized stay report card with highlights, routines, favorite activities, and a few memorable moments from their visit. Our goal is simple: for your dog to feel less like they’re being boarded and more like they’re staying at a summer camp designed just for them. I work from home so I can be as available as your dog needs. My partner also is home for most of the day, and only works in the evenings so one of us is almost always home. We live surrounded by trails and parks so your dog will have ample adventures during their stay. Every dog will be treated with the same love and care as if they were our own. We have a large fenced yard that they are free to roam, and a cozy home with dog beds everywhere. We allow dogs on couch and bed, though I can maintain any rules you have in your home for consistency. We do also have a cat so we cannot accept any dogs that are in any way aggressive towards cats or small critters.
“Baoying was great with Louie! She provided playtime and exercise for my very playful pet. I also like the way her pet matches Louie’s energy, Louie is a lot calmer when i picked him up.”
“Stefanie took amazing care of my sweet dog during a bout of IBS. She kept me up to date with lots of check ins and was super flexible when I needed to change dates. I cannot recommend Stefanie enough!”
“As a new pet sitter for Kona, she was happy when we picked her up and that’s an indication to us that she was treated well. Emma provided photos and update how Kona was doing. Her house/yard is in a nice area of Vallejo and happy to see it was clean and tidy. Given her already stellar reviews, we already know that we will be reaching out to her again.”
“Kushram and Family are a wonderful find for dog sitting or doggy day care. Give the initial booking request a bit of lead time, as the confirmation that the day/time works may take up to a day to come through. This time I put in a request 9:30pm on a Saturday, and got confirmation Sunday evening. (I suspect requests are processed daily). The initial booking request was the largest gap we experienced in communication, scheduling the meet and greet by messages was easy - they were very responsive and want to ensure you and your pup will be comfortable with their set up and go over any special needs of the dog. Our elder pup Rick was drawn to Kushram and the whole family even on the meet and greet (I think just his wife and adult nephew), as well the drop off day of, and they were able to make him comfortable enough to eat even on a short visit. Given our short booking (only about 3 hrs) we can't really comment on long term pictures/communication during the visit, but I can say I feel pretty happy that I found some place local where I feel comfortable leaving my dog when I need to go somewhere. They also have some experience with some dog special needs, but can help best when they know about it ahead of time. They were not concerned or put off in the slightest by our pups needs (mostly that he's pretty clingy, can get cold easily, and only has 3 teeth and will only eat small pieces of food, and doesn't love hanging out with other dogs), and described other dogs they had watched with similar or more challenging needs such as dog-sitting a blind dog in a new space. Thank you for taking good care of our pup!”
“William is great with Louie! He treated Louie just the way he cares for his own fur babies. He was available on short notice, and sent me pictures of Louie while I was at work. That really put me at ease knowing that Louie is having a great tome.:)”
About: I’ve cared for pets for the past 17 years with a focus on puppy training and development including potty training and behavioral training to socialize pups. I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule, so I am available to provide the love, care, and attention for your pup on a daily basis. I have a fenced porch yard with a doggie door for dogs to choose where they want to spend their time. I also have a dachshund-mix (Winnie) to keep your fur baby company. Additionally, I have many crates and beds available for dogs that prefer indoors.
“Our frenchie spent an exciting day with Vanson’s dogs. He loves to run around and that’s exactly what he did. Vanson sent photos and a video of Bentley having fun. This was Bentley’s first stay with Vanson and it was a success.”
“Thank you Mellise for taking care of my three pups. Bonnie, Princess & Luna enjoyed their time at your place. You had the space, the patience and love for them 3. God bless you”
“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!”
“Thank you Sant and family for taking such lovely care of Leopold. He loves being reminded of how fancy he is.....much appreciated words of praise and smiles. We look forward to future visits”

About: Hi there! My name is Lauren. I have 11 years of pet care experience, along with 2 years of professional pet care experience through a boutique pet care company. During that time, I received training in pet care, first aid, and canine CPR, and gained hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats with a variety of personalities, needs, and routines. My soul-dog, Buster, was by my side for 11 wonderful years before sadly passing away in 2025. I’ve missed having that special furry companionship in my life ever since, and caring for dogs is something that brings me so much joy. I’m excited to provide the same love, patience, and attentive care to your pets that I’ve always given my own. I'm currently working towards my Masters Degree in Social Work, which is fully remote, meaning I am home 7 days a week to take care of your pet. I take pride in providing a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel relaxed and at home. My apartment is very pet-friendly, with plenty of nearby flat, open green space for walks, playtime, and fresh air. I’m meticulous about keeping food and water bowls clean and ensuring pets always have fresh water. I’m also very attentive to each pet parent’s instructions and routines, and I’m comfortable administering medication when needed. I have experience caring for puppies and senior dogs, and understand that every dog has their own personality, comfort level, and needs, including dogs who may experience anxiety.
“Our pup, Finn, loved his time with Jeanette and family! She communicated well, sent us photos, and he came home happy and (thankfully) tired from playing. We will definitely book again!”

“Sara’s love for dogs shows how she handles Louie’s hesitation to new caretakers. She is very patient and understood Louie’s needs. I will definitely continue to book her services here in Rover.:)”
About: I grew up with animals all my life. From cats and dogs to parrots, mice, sugar gliders etc. I own 2 dogs myself and love them with all my heart. I’m comfortable with different temperaments and ages. I fostered and volunteered at several shelters throughout my life. I love animals and will make sure to take care of yours like my own. I have a flexible schedule and own a vehicle which makes same day bookings a breeze. If you ever need someone to help I’m there :) My dogs are spoiled and loved. I keep them safe and healthy. I would do my best to take care of your pets like you want me to.
“Ilse did great with Xena. She was attentive to Xena’s reaction to other dogs . She kept her under control and calm. Xena was happy to see Ilse when she came. She was on time and was needed for a week after I had hip surgery. Good job.”
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.
“"I couldn't be happier with their service. I was nervous about finding the right walker for my kids pup, but they were incredibly patient and gentle. Fantastic service! They are dependable, trustworthy, and go above and beyond to make sure my dog gets plenty of exercise I will be back in the future”

I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and clear communication, including updates so clients know their pets are comfortable and well cared for. I do not provide boarding, kennel services, or pet care at my own residence.
“Natalie was patient and kind with my somewhat awkward and nervous pups. They took to her right away (thanks, snacks!) and went right out. We are testing the waters to have them walked while someone is home to relive anxiety and she has no problems at all. Natalie is kind and respectful to the nervous mom, too. Thank you!”
“Telena was wonderful! She eased all of my nerves with a new fig that is an escape artist. She have regular updates a photos, she made sure our dog went to the bathroom, and kept her company when she was apprehensive and excitable. She’s a wonderful dog walker and sitter!”

About: I combine years of hands on pet care with a deep sense of responsibility and heart. I’ve cared for everything from energetic puppies to senior pets needing a gentle pace and medication reminders. My experience includes contracted dog and cat sitting in DC, walking reactive dogs, and even coordinating vet visits. I’m great at reading animal behavior, adapting to their needs, and communicating openly with owners.

About: I have always loved dogs! I grew up with small and large dogs in the home. I do not currently have any pets in the home so I am looking to fill my free time with some furry friends:) I currently work part time in retail. Open during the afternoons and evening during the week days. I am free all day on the weekends! Will always take extra precautions to keep your pets safe! I will use leash and follow whatever rules you set. I can easily crate your dog if needed.
About: Hi my name is Nneka and I happen to love dogs very much and I will be happy to keep an eye on and/or walk him/her anytime. I currently work nights from 5pm-2:30am. So I am available in the daytime to be there for your pet! I will care for your pet as my own and I will do well to make sure that your dog is being well taken care of. I have taken care of my sister’s, my aunties and many of my friend’s dogs before so I have a bit of experience. I also have a dog who is currently with my mom. I would love to meet you and your dog and give them the best experience. Thank you! Since I work at nights, caring for your pet will fill a lot of my mornings up. Whether it’s exercising with your pet or checking in with them, my mornings will be filled with joy. How I will care for your pets, whether it is walking them or going to your place for a check in, is make sure their needs are taken care of. I will not put them in harms way nor will I do anything to jeopardize their safety.
About: My name is Amanda. I have many years of experience raising/owning dogs as well as am a volunteer for the Napa Animal Shelter. I currently have one dog, Wanda, who is almost 9 years old. I believe it’s important to exercise dogs frequently, keeping them healthy and calm! My dogs are avid hikers and swimmers but also enjoy sticking around at home for walks, staying in the yard, or going on local shorter trails. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out! Thanks! I have a full time job but am very active with my dog. We are out walking morning and evening and on weekends normally hiking or swimming somewhere. Please message me regarding availability. I have a very small house but live on a large property (1 acre) that is fenced in. My dog is very well socialized with other dogs.

“Amanda and Mitchell did an amazing job taking care of Louie while we were out of town for 5 days. They were great about taking Louie on daily walks and trips to the park, and provided lot updates with photos! They were very understanding when our return flight was delayed, and Amanda even offered to drop him off for free which was a huge help. He was a happy and tired boy when he got home!! Thank you Amanda and Mitchell, we will be back!”
“Our dog loved staying at Stefanie’s with her dog Prince. She always sent us updates and pictures. We would love to rebook with her in the future because she’s amazing!”
“We re-booked with Iris for an overnight stay. Our pup had a fun time playing with Bacon, and taking walks in the neighborhood. It was reassuring to receive updates and photos from Iris; very attentive sitter.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Lauren was professional, friendly, and kept us updated with pictures throughout the long weekend with Biscotti! He absolutely loved his time with her and they’re definitely new best friends now. We’ll absolutely be using Lauren again to keep our pup happy, comfy, and cozy whenever we’re away.”
About: As long as I can remember, I’ve been around dogs and helping care for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve always loved spending time with animals and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and cared for. I’m patient and attentive to each dog’s individual needs and personality. I’m happy to give energetic dogs longer walks and plenty of exercise, while also taking my time with dogs who may be nervous, older, or need a little extra patience. I’ll make sure your dog gets the attention, exercise, and care they need while you’re away. I’m also happy to send photos and updates so you can know how they’re doing. Whether your dog loves to play, go for walks, explore, or simply relax, I’ll treat them with the care they deserve. I have a pretty flexible schedule, so I can dedicate plenty of time to caring for pets throughout the day. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I'm happy to make sure they get the attention and care they need while you're away and pet care is something i genuinely look forward to. I make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I have a fenced yard where pets can enjoy safe outdoor time, as well as a crate available if needed. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality and needs so they feel comfortable in my care. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Peter and Sarah were absolutely incredible with our 9 month old Scout! He stayed with them for 10 days while our house went on the market and we had showings. They sent pictures and video updates and were always keeping me in the loop on how he was getting along with their other dogs! This was like going to the dog park for 10 days for our boy and he loved it! I would book them again in a heartbeat if we weren't moving out of the area!”
“Emma was excellent caring for my dog Mango! She was very flexible about timing which was super helpful while I’m traveling. Would definitely recommend. My dog came back happy, tired and clearly wasn’t stressed out at all.”
About: Hi there! My name is Lauren. I have 11 years of pet care experience, along with 2 years of professional pet care experience through a boutique pet care company. During that time, I received training in pet care, first aid, and canine CPR, and gained hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats with a variety of personalities, needs, and routines. My soul-dog, Buster, was by my side for 11 wonderful years before sadly passing away in 2025. I’ve missed having that special furry companionship in my life ever since, and caring for dogs is something that brings me so much joy. I’m excited to provide the same love, patience, and attentive care to your pets that I’ve always given my own. I'm currently working towards my Masters Degree in Social Work, which is fully remote, meaning I am home 7 days a week to take care of your pet. I take pride in providing a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel relaxed and at home. My apartment is very pet-friendly, with plenty of nearby flat, open green space for walks, playtime, and fresh air. I’m meticulous about keeping food and water bowls clean and ensuring pets always have fresh water. I’m also very attentive to each pet parent’s instructions and routines, and I’m comfortable administering medication when needed. I have experience caring for puppies and senior dogs, and understand that every dog has their own personality, comfort level, and needs, including dogs who may experience anxiety.
About: I bring more than 20 years of professional experience in veterinary medicine and animal welfare, caring for pets and supporting the people who love them. My background includes veterinary hospital leadership and many years with the San Francisco SPCA, and I'm also Fear Free Certified. I have extensive experience with pets of all ages, personalities, and needs, including puppies, seniors, anxious or fearful pets, multi-pet households, medication routines, and pets who may need a little extra patience and attention. My Fear Free training helps me recognize signs of fear, anxiety, and stress and adjust my approach so each pet can feel as safe and comfortable as possible. My veterinary background also means I pay attention to the little things. I'm accustomed to noticing changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, energy, or overall wellbeing and communicating concerns promptly. Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care. I'll treat your pets like they're my own, follow their routines closely, and make sure you get plenty of updates and photos while you're away. My schedule is currently very flexible, which gives me plenty of availability for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. I'm available weekdays and weekends and can accommodate morning, daytime, and evening visits. I also understand how important consistency is for pets, so I'll do my best to keep their normal feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routines intact while you're away. With more than 20 years of experience in veterinary medicine and animal welfare and Fear Free certification, I'm very comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, behaviors, ages, and needs. When caring for pets in your home, I'll follow your instructions closely and treat your home with the same care and respect I'd want someone to show mine. I'll double-check doors, gates, leashes, and other safety details, keep your pet's environment clean, and provide detailed updates and photos so you always know how things are going. I know you're trusting me with two things that matter enormously—your pet and your home—and I don't take either responsibility lightly.
“Hands down the best Rover experience. He sent a morning update and evening update with pictures. Fast to respond and very accommodating. Both my dogs had a blast. One dog is a senior dog but he was patient with her and my other pup loves to play all day long. HIGHLY RECOMMEND and beyond happy with the care he provided to both my dogs. Thank you Chris and will be using again in the future.”
