“Daisy did an amazing job caring for our dogs while we were out of town. From the moment we picked them up, we could tell they had a great time-they came home happy, sleepy (LOL), and clearly well-loved. They got plenty of play time with Daisy's kids and their dog, which made it feel like a true family environment. Knowing our dogs were treated like part of the family meant everything to us and gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Thank you so much Daisy and family for taking such great care of our pups! We highly recommend her and would absolutely book again!”
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for furry friends, and I’m excited to help your pup feel happy and loved while you’re away. Though I recently had to be separated from my own dog, I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life, so I know how to give them attention, comfort, and fun. Whether it’s a quick visit, a long walk, or overnight care, I treat every dog like a part of the family. I’d love to meet your pup and provide the care, attention, and companionship they deserve! I work from home in a pet-friendly community, so your dog will get plenty of walks, cuddles, and attention all day. I have a flexible schedule if provided with enough notice. I prioritize safety, trust, and a happy environment for every dog. Since I don’t currently have any pets, your pup will have my full attention! I provide walks, cuddles, and supervision in a secure, pet-friendly space. Whether in my home or yours, I follow your rules and routines exactly, treating your dog and your home with the same love and respect I would my own.
“Max had a wonderful stay - had so much fun with his new doggie friends. We loved all the photos! Only thing is now we think Max just wants to go back! I thought he would be anxious, but no - he loved his time there and we felt relieved he was being well-cared for and having fun. I know we'll be back soon!”
About: I had a brother who loved to bring animals home which I had to take care of. Now I have two daughters who love to take care of dogs , cats and other animals. I’m working part time at home so I have more time to play with your pets when I’m on break. I love to play with and to care for animals I have a home with a fence so they can pace around my yard freely without escaping. I don’t have many harsh rules for animals in my house so they can move anywhere they want any time .
“We absolutely loved the care Sony received! Navneet treated him with so much love, patience, and attention, as if he were her own dog. It gave us great peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. Sony was happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout his stay. We truly appreciate the updates and the genuine affection she showed him. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care! 🐾💕”
“Zhao and her family took good care of Socrates. I chose them because their house is similar size like mine and my cat prefers bigger space. I was given frequent update of my Socrates with pictures and videos.”
“Lexie was well understood and well cared for. I couldn’t have asked for more! Our dog is a tricky one with senior issues but Trisha and her family knew just how to address her difficulties and make her happy and comfortable. She fit right in with their family! I’m very grateful to Trish and I highly recommend her.”

“I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Fiona!! She kept me updated with regular tests about my pup, which gave me so much peace of mind, and she truly made him feel right at home! The moment I picked him up, I could tell he was so happy and comfortable in her care. It means everything to know your pup is in such great hands I highly recommend her!!”
“Our pup stayed with Dyan and her family for his first time away from us. He had a great time. Dyan sent pics and videos of him playing with her kids and the other dogs she was caring for. He resisted getting in the car to come home! 😊 We will definitely have him stay with Dyan next time we need a sitter.”

“I booked Houda and her family for my wedding weekend. I have 2 cats and they did so good with them! I loved that they were completely separate from any other animals and I didn’t have to worry about them. They took care of them as they were their own. 10/10 sweetest family!”
“Megan did a fantastic job caring for my dog, Rocky. She was a great communicator throughout the stay, providing updates and making me feel comfortable that he was in good hands.

“Ayla took care of our two cats once again, and as always, she did an amazing job.

After each visit, she sent us a detailed update along with photos, which gave us complete peace of mind knowing our cats were happy and well cared for. We truly appreciated her reliability, professionalism, and genuine love for animals. We wholeheartedly recommend Ayla to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
About: When I was young, my extended family owned cats who I absolutely adored. As I got older, i volunteered at a shelter where i socialized with the cats to get them used to human interaction. I now regularly cat sit for a local family who owns four cats that i treat like they are my own! They have strengthened my love for cats:)
“Julia was wonderful! Our cat, Stormy, took to her immediately when they met for the first time. Julia took great care of Stormy, and followed instructions to the letter. She was punctual, kept to the agreed schedule, provided daily detailed communications / updates and kept the house tidy and in order. We will definitely use Julia again! Thanks for taking great care of Stormy!”
About: As a proud cat owner of four, I understand that every cat has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. Caring for multiple cats has given me daily hands-on experience with feeding, litter box maintenance, playtime, enrichment, grooming, and recognizing changes in behavior that could indicate something isn't quite right. I'm comfortable caring for shy, independent, and social cats, and I know the importance of letting them warm up at their own pace. Whether your cat loves to play, prefers quiet companionship, or just needs someone to keep their routine consistent, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I know how much trust it takes to leave your cat with someone else because I'd want the same level of care for my own. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care and plenty of love so you can have peace of mind knowing your feline family member is in good hands.
“Lollipop and Nicole made fast friends during our spring break holidays and we couldn’t be more pleased! Nicole communicated frequently and we always felt she was safe and happy. Nicole gets our highest recommendation.”
About: I’ve had cats as part of my life for many years, including my family cat, who was with us from the time I was one year old until I was 21. Growing up with a cat gave me a deep understanding of their unique personalities, body language, and individual needs. I understand that every cat is different—some are social and affectionate, while others prefer their space and routine. I always take the time to earn a cat’s trust, respect their boundaries, and provide calm, attentive care. Whether your cat enjoys playtime and affection or simply needs a reliable caregiver to maintain their routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

I truly love having dogs by my side—whether it’s snuggles, playtime in the yard, or plenty of walks around the neighborhood. Every dog who stays with me is treated like family. Drop off and pick up only between 7 am and 7 pm. No Late pick ups please. I can also do local dog walks and drop in visits at your home.

I know how important consistency is for dogs, so I’m happy to follow their usual feeding times, walk schedules, and any special care instructions you provide. Whether your pup loves early morning walks, afternoon playtime, or quiet evening cuddles, I’ll make sure their day feels familiar and happy. My goal is to make their time with me feel like a true home away from home, filled with love, attention, and plenty of tail wags!
“Betsy stayed in our home for three weeks watching our two cats. The cats adored her and so did we! Great communication and updates.

“I had a last-minute need for someone to check in on my dog due to a flight delay, and Hailey truly saved the day! She responded quickly, was flexible and reliable, and kept me updated throughout the entire process to ensure my dog was well cared for. I’m so grateful to Hailey for stepping in on such short notice and would highly recommend her for any future pet sitting needs. Thank you, Hailey!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Nicholas and Sarah are absolutely incredible! From the moment we met them, we knew our sunshine bear was in the best hands. They were punctual, responsible, and went above and beyond to love on our pup all week long. We especially appreciated the regular updates and sweet photos that kept us at ease while we were away. Could not recommend them enough — truly the kind of sitters every pet parent hopes to find!”
“I met Surjit in the Peace Corps and since day one she’s shown a tremendous quality of being a dependable friend. She’s charismatic, she’s thoughtful, and she’s an extremely loving caretaker. When my dog Darwin first met her, his eyes lit up and his pupils went wide with love for her as they continue to do so every time they get together and forget I’m even there. She’s one of the very few people who I trust enough to take care of Darwin and they continue to bond in a way I don’t really see with other people since, even though my dog is very cute, I think he knows it and can be a bit antisocial and aloof. But Surjit sees him and fully accepts him for who he is, as I see her do with all pets in her life. I happily endorse Surjit because I know that she does not just see your pet as a dog or a cat, she sees them as individuals with their own personalities, fears, habits, wants, and needs. I happily endorse Surjit because I know that she will, without a doubt, go above and beyond and take care of your pet like she takes care of her own family and friends.”

“I will definitely be going back! Bandit LOVED being with them. I knew they’d be good sitters when they walked out and the kids and Shawna had researched my dogs breed (Frisian Stabij) that was an immediate sigh of relief and it only went up from there. They were communicative, sent pictures, and so trustworthy. Would recommend !!”

Provided me photos and videos multiple times when I was biking in Angel Island.

Looking forward to see you soon🥰🙏🏼🐶”

And her home is a true respite. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”
“My Siberian Husky has such a special bond with Fiona and her family! He runs to their door and is very impatient to go inside their house - his Tractive collar shows he gets hours of activity, and he always comes home tired and happy beyond what I could imagine. Definitely the best Rover we’ve ever had!”
About: Hello! My name is Allie. I’m a lifelong dog lover, owner, and trainer. I come from Washington state where I was raised with dogs of all kinds. For the last few years, I professionally trained and also trained law-enforcement canines. I actively compete with my dog in a sport called Schutzhund. I am extremely confident with all kinds of dogs- from tiny ones, to the giant breeds! If you have a sport dog that you need handled by an experienced working dog handler, I can absolutely help you out. I am an extremely competent and safe handler and look forward to helping you out with your pups! Right now, I am a stay at home dog mom who is always training and working my dog. I have a highly flexible schedule and would love to help you out! I have an awesome yard that your dogs are welcomed to play in on a long line. I also have a very sweet intact male dog who is a friend to all, if your dog likes others! I have crates available if your dog needs one. I exercise and train my dog daily, so your dog’s needs can easily be tended to. I have plenty of experience with working dogs, so I understand the implications of handling them (detection, apprehension, sport). Your pup will be extremely safe and well cared for!
About: I have experience pet-sitting a variety of pets of all ages. I am able to care for dogs, birds, rodents, rabbits, and reptiles. I love all animals! Your pet's wellbeing, happiness, and healthiness is my number 1 priority. My pets are pampered and yours will be too in my care :) I work from home, so I am free to petsit all day long! I have a lot of yard space for dogs to roam and lounge around and I have space to care for several pets at a time. I currently have one dog myself (an elderly French bulldog). Daily dog walks are also a part of my routine. I keep a very clean home, but I have lots of places for dogs to cuddle up on couches or beds as well. I offer pet boarding, so I can watch your pet at my home. In my care, pets are never caged or crated (unless explicitly asked to be). I allow them to roam free around my home and backyard. Dogs in my care are able to get regular walks and lots of love and cuddles. I am also able to watch birds, rodents, reptiles, and rabbits. I love absolutely all animals, although unfortunately I am unable to petsit cats due to the safety of my other animal. You can rest easy knowing that your pet will be in the absolute best care with me! My home is completely safe and spacious for your pets.
“Jing was a lifesaver, available to watch our three year old English Cocker while we visited our grandchildren. She was waiting for us when we pulled up to her home and seamlessly watched him til we returned about 3 hours later. She sent fun pictures while taking care of him and Murphy seemed very happy when we picked him up. I definitely recommend Jing and will book her again!”
“JP did an amazing job with my husky on a last-minute request, he has a beautiful and safe house and large yard. He sent lots of photos so I could see how my boy was doing and I saw all of the activity he was getting with play time and walks. Their dog Arnold is clearly very friendly and was great company. Will rebook with confidence any time”

About: As the owner of four cats, I have daily hands-on experience providing consistent, attentive care to animals. Caring for multiple pets has taught me to be patient, reliable, and attentive to each animal's unique needs and personality. While my personal experience has been with cats, I'm comfortable caring for dogs by following their established routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and providing plenty of love and attention. I'll treat your dog with the same care and dedication I give my own pets! I'm currently a graduate student, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care throughout the week. I keep my availability up to date and do my best to accommodate your pet's routine, whether that's morning walks, midday drop-ins, or evening visits. I believe consistency is important, so I'll always communicate clearly and provide dependable, attentive care while you're away. Your pet's comfort, safety, and well-being are always my top priorities. Since I'm entering their space, I believe it's important to let each pet take the lead. I take the time to build trust at their own pace and never force interactions or affection. Every pet has a unique personality, and I respect their individual needs and boundaries. I'll follow your pet's routine as closely as possible, whether that includes feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication (if needed), or simply providing companionship. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away by maintaining the consistency they're used to. As a pet owner myself, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else's care. That's why I'll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout each visit, so you can have peace of mind knowing they're happy, safe, and receiving the same level of care and attention I'd want for my own pets.
About: Hi! For the past decade, I’ve been caring for dogs of all ages and sizes in my warm, spacious Blackhawk home. I also do dog walks and drop in visit for those pups that need care in their own home. There’s a yard with plenty of room to run, play, and explore at my house, and I make sure every dog feels like part of the family. Whether it’s snuggles on the couch, fun playtime, or relaxing walks, your pup will receive lots of love and attention. I have excellent references from happy pet parents in the Blackhawk/Danville area, and my husband, sweet 13-year-old son and friendly 4-year-old Shih Tzu love welcoming new furry friends! Your pup will have lots of company, attention, and care throughout the day. I truly love having dogs by my side—whether it’s snuggles, playtime in the yard, or plenty of walks around the neighborhood. Every dog who stays with me is treated like family. Drop off and pick up only between 7 am and 7 pm. No Late pick ups please. I can also do local dog walks and drop in visits at your home. When caring for pets in my home, I always aim to keep them on the same routine and schedule they’re used to, helping them feel comfortable and at ease. I know how important consistency is for dogs, so I’m happy to follow their usual feeding times, walk schedules, and any special care instructions you provide. Whether your pup loves early morning walks, afternoon playtime, or quiet evening cuddles, I’ll make sure their day feels familiar and happy. My goal is to make their time with me feel like a true home away from home, filled with love, attention, and plenty of tail wags!
“Julia took care of my pair of large dogs making sure they walked early due to extreme heat. It was a perfect match for their personalities and her style. I am grateful for her care of my dog kids when I was away!!”
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, especially those who need patience, structure, and understanding. I have a strong background in caring for both young, high-energy dogs and senior pets who require a gentler, more attentive approach. Over the years, I’ve adopted and cared for shelter dogs, including one of my most meaningful experiences: transforming my 3-year-old German Shepherd who came from an abusive and neglected background. She was fearful, submissive, and untrained when I first brought her home. Through consistent training, positive reinforcement, and a calm, stable environment, she gradually became a confident, obedient, affectionate, and deeply trusting companion. She is now 15 years old and remains a living example of the patience and care I bring to every animal I work with. This experience has taught me how to read animal behavior, build trust with nervous or reactive dogs, and adapt care to each pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s helping a young dog learn structure and good habits or providing comfort and routine for senior dogs, I focus on creating a safe, loving, and balanced environment where every pet feels secure and understood. I pick up shifts bartending but I cant adjust my schedule around sitting others dogs. I will be free when needed so no worries there. I have a nice size balcony but that the dogs can hangout on if they would like but i also take my girl out often.
About: Hi! I’m a big animal lover and have been around dogs for about 7 years. I have two dogs of my own, so I’m really comfortable with both small and big pups. I’ve also helped friends take care of their cats before. I’m patient, gentle, and pretty attentive. I can help with walks, feeding, playtime, and just making sure your pet feels safe and happy. I’ve also used another walking app, so I’m used to meeting different dogs with different personalities. I treat every pet like my own and always try to pay attention to what they need 😊 My schedule is flexible, and I’m available on weekends as well. I can spend plenty of time with your pet and provide consistent care throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow all care instructions carefully and always stay attentive during walks and at home. I’m happy to send regular photo and video updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and well looked after at all times.
About: I have experience pet-sitting a variety of pets of all ages. I am able to care for dogs, birds, rodents, rabbits, and reptiles. I love all animals! Your pet's wellbeing, happiness, and healthiness is my number 1 priority. My pets are pampered and yours will be too in my care :) I work from home, so I am free to petsit all day long! I have a lot of yard space for dogs to roam and lounge around and I have space to care for several pets at a time. I currently have one dog myself (an elderly French bulldog). Daily dog walks are also a part of my routine. I keep a very clean home, but I have lots of places for dogs to cuddle up on couches or beds as well. I offer pet boarding, so I can watch your pet at my home. In my care, pets are never caged or crated (unless explicitly asked to be). I allow them to roam free around my home and backyard. Dogs in my care are able to get regular walks and lots of love and cuddles. I am also able to watch birds, rodents, reptiles, and rabbits. I love absolutely all animals, although unfortunately I am unable to petsit cats due to the safety of my other animal. You can rest easy knowing that your pet will be in the absolute best care with me! My home is completely safe and spacious for your pets.
About: THE go-to pet sitter within my community because of the care, attention, and genuine love I bring to every animal I look after. Friends, family, and clients consistently trust me with their pets because they know I will treat them with the same patience, respect, and attentiveness that I would my own. In addition to years of pet sitting, I have experience working with wild birds, horses, and wildlife through educational and conservation programs. These experiences have given me a deep appreciation for animal behavior and the many different ways animals communicate, build trust, and relate to the people around them in a respectful way. My professional background as a caregiver has also strengthened skills that translate naturally to pet care, including responsibility, observation, consistency, and the ability to respond thoughtfully to individual needs. I understand that every animal has a unique personality, comfort level, and routine, and I take the time to get to know them so they feel safe, supported, and cared for while you're away. Currently working part time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to provide attentive, reliable pet care. I’m available for house sitting, dog walks, cat care, and drop-in visits. I’m able to build pet care into my daily routine with plenty of time for walks, play, companionship, and making sure your pets feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I provide pet care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where I focus on maintaining each pet’s routine and creating a safe, comfortable environment while their humans are away. I have over 10 years of experience caring for animals, including cats, dogs, birds, and horses, and I have experience with anxious pets and shy cats. My approach is centered around patience, respect, and meeting each animal where they are. I’m a calm presence who understands that every pet has their own personality and comfort level. I allow pets the space they need while offering support, companionship, playtime, and enrichment when they’re ready. My goal is to help pets feel secure, cared for, and comfortable in their own home.
About: I have grown up with dogs most of my life and have experience taking care of cats, rabbits, turtles, and fish. My experience with dogs includes: training, dog walking, and administering medication. I have a 5 1/2 year old mini double doodle named Kota and trained him myself. I pride myself on providing quality animal care and want to make sure your pet is safe and happy during their time with me. Currently I am taking a sabbatical and have plenty of time to take care of your pup! Depending on your preference and your dog's needs, I can provide plenty of physical activity and mental stimulation. I am happy to take care of your pet in your home and do daily walks. Please let me know if your pet is comfortable around other dogs. If they're not, I can easily leave my dog at home while I focus on your pet's needs.
About: I have grown up caring for dogs and cats and I started pet sitting at 12 years of age! I am responsible, I pay close attention to small details, and I will love your pet like my own! I am a helper and want to make your life easier! Whether you’re gone at work or on vacation, I want you to know that your animal is safe and loved while you’re away! I currently have a flexible schedule and can do drop in visits, overnight visits, and dog walking! Right when I walk in the door, I’ll say hi and give the animal attention if they want it. I read the room to see if it will be a cheerful introduction or a more mellow hello. I make sure that all their needs are taken care of and that they get extra love before I go! I play ball and go on walks for fun exercise with the dogs! I play with cats and love on them too! I also know about animal behavior from past jobs and volunteer puppy raising for future service dogs, so I understand when an animal needs a break or a boundary made- with me or others.
“Sophie is incredibly reliable and punctual, always showing up on time and ready to take Coraline for a walk. It was evident that our dog absolutely adores her! Sophie takes the time to ensure that not only was Coraline exercised but also engaged and happy. The photos and updates I receive after each walk bring me so much joy and peace of mind. Thank you for everything you do, Sophie.”
“Desiree did a meet and greet with my dogs the day w and she was so nice and bubbly. My dogs took to her right away. She listened to all my quirky instructions like they were normal! On the morning of the walk she arrived on time and kept me informed with pictures and details of the walk. I feel happy to have found her and on short notice too!”
About: I've been a sitter on this platform for several years. Serving the California Bay Area, and internationally (Thailand and Japan so far!) I've had mostly small to medium dogs and cats for years as family pets, also have experience with chickens and rodents (my kids had pet rats for years). I do not currently have pets, as am doing the van life thing and don't feel it would be right to have my own pet at this time, however I truly miss having pets, prompting me to sign up for pet sitting! I'm currently retired-van living full time in the East Bay CA area, so right now just available for house/pet sitting & dog walking at your home. Responsible, mature care giver for your pet in your home, following all rules and instructions left by the pet owner. Please let me know of your pets special needs before booking.

“Daisy did an amazing job caring for our dogs while we were out of town. From the moment we picked them up, we could tell they had a great time-they came home happy, sleepy (LOL), and clearly well-loved. They got plenty of play time with Daisy's kids and their dog, which made it feel like a true family environment. Knowing our dogs were treated like part of the family meant everything to us and gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Thank you so much Daisy and family for taking such great care of our pups! We highly recommend her and would absolutely book again!”
About: I had a brother who loved to bring animals home which I had to take care of. Now I have two daughters who love to take care of dogs , cats and other animals. I’m working part time at home so I have more time to play with your pets when I’m on break. I love to play with and to care for animals I have a home with a fence so they can pace around my yard freely without escaping. I don’t have many harsh rules for animals in my house so they can move anywhere they want any time .
“Zhao and her family took good care of Socrates. I chose them because their house is similar size like mine and my cat prefers bigger space. I was given frequent update of my Socrates with pictures and videos.”
“Lexie was well understood and well cared for. I couldn’t have asked for more! Our dog is a tricky one with senior issues but Trisha and her family knew just how to address her difficulties and make her happy and comfortable. She fit right in with their family! I’m very grateful to Trish and I highly recommend her.”
“Thank you Pat and Lopa, for accommodating us last minute and taking good care of our dear Mocha. Communication was great and appreciated the updates and photos. Would use them again !”
“Nicholas and Sarah were perfect hosts for Elmer over the holidays. They are super responsive, thorough and very kind. They helped us out last minute with our delayed travel plans and also helped Elmer with a minor ear infection. Elmer settled in quickly and enjoyed their dog George's company. Thank you so much!”
“I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Fiona!! She kept me updated with regular tests about my pup, which gave me so much peace of mind, and she truly made him feel right at home! The moment I picked him up, I could tell he was so happy and comfortable in her care. It means everything to know your pup is in such great hands I highly recommend her!!”
“Our pup stayed with Dyan and her family for his first time away from us. He had a great time. Dyan sent pics and videos of him playing with her kids and the other dogs she was caring for. He resisted getting in the car to come home! 😊 We will definitely have him stay with Dyan next time we need a sitter.”
“Svetlana took great care of my dog Louise! She sent daily updates and was very flexible with pickup and drop-off times, which I really appreciated. I’ll definitely book with her again for future boarding.”
“Shawna is THE best! Chocolate Mousse and Rocky Road were so happy and healthy during their week's stay. I'll certainly book with Shawna again and I know my little furry boys will be excited to return. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH, SHAWNA!”
“I booked Houda and her family for my wedding weekend. I have 2 cats and they did so good with them! I loved that they were completely separate from any other animals and I didn’t have to worry about them. They took care of them as they were their own. 10/10 sweetest family!”
“Megan did a fantastic job caring for my dog, Rocky. She was a great communicator throughout the stay, providing updates and making me feel comfortable that he was in good hands. Most importantly, Rocky seemed to genuinely enjoy his time with her, which says a lot. I would absolutely recommend Megan to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter, and I would gladly book with her again.”
“This was our first time using Rover, so we were nervous. But it was a great experience! Daisy spent four nights at Ruth’s house and, as the only dog, got lots of TLC! Thank you, Ruth, for keeping us posted and for the great pics - and for loving Daisy while we were away! She’ll be back, for sure!”
“We recently went on a Spring break trip and entrusted our male Goldendoodle Ollie to the care of Rachna and Mike for an entire week. From the moment we dropped him off it was clear he would be treated like family. Ollie was well-fed, enjoyed walks twice a day and made friends with their playful cats. We received constant updates and pictures throughout our trip. We are immensely grateful for Rachna’s diligence in ensuring Ollie received his supplements and vitamins. As we prepared for Ollie’s stay, Rachna proactively sent us a detailed checklist outlining everything that Ollie would require. At the drop-off she meticulously went over all the items in the checklist. This ensured we didn’t forget anything crucial and created a smooth handover. It was heart warming to see how Ollie’s animated and happy expressions in the pictures. He was truly enjoying his time away from us. We are grateful to Rachna and Mike for their exceptional hospitality, genuine care and kindness they provided Ollie during his stay.”

We will be using his services in future for sure!!”

About: I provide a loving, safe, and comfortable home where your dog will be treated like family. Expect plenty of belly rubs, ear scratches, playtime, walks, and lots of one-on-one attention. My Goldendoodle, CoCo, is friendly, well-socialized, and loves having doggy guests to play and relax with. I am home full-time, which allows me to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. Your pet will receive plenty of supervision, companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and affection rather than being left alone for long periods. I have a flexible schedule and can easily incorporate walks, feeding routines, medication administration (if needed), and one-on-one attention into my day. Whether your pet enjoys active play or simply relaxing nearby, I'll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you're away. I have a fenced backyard, with lots of space for the pets to lounge, run around inside or out in a caring and safe environment
“Thank you very much for her sense of responsibility and love for the dog. With the support and help of the whole family, my furry child had a very happy few days of vacation. I’m happy to rebooking next vacation time.”
