“I was on a business trip and Kodi stayed with Sharmistha for 5 days. He had so much fun that he was not so happy when he saw me when I wanted to pick him up. 😂 Thank you so much Sharmistha and see you soon❤️”
“This is our third time having Mary board our cats and we’ll definitely be continuing to use her! Mary takes great care of our cats and we appreciate how much time she spends hanging out with them while they’re with her. The boarding space is beautifully set up with all the things a cat could want: big window with a cat tree for bird watching, toys, cozy spots to hide, wall mounted platforms, and much more! Mary has a ton of cat experience so we always breathe a sigh of relief when she’s watching them because we know they’re in such good hands. We highly recommend Mary if you’re looking for somewhere to board your cats!”
“Sameer, Reyna, and their kids are pretty much Helo's second family! By now, he knows the drill. This recent visit we dropped him off and Helo just walked casually into their house, laid down and had a face like "I'm in good hands, you can go now." We always feel at ease when we drop off our pup because we know he is very well taken care of. Helo comes home happy, well-played, and always excited to come back next time. I try to book well in advance because Sameer and his family get booked up so fast since everyone knows they are amazing dog lovers and care takers! Sameer and Reyna, we will forever stay and be your repeat customers!”
“Diana took great care of my cat Oliver. She sent me daily pictures/videos to show me how he’s doing. Oliver’s usually very reserved and takes around three days to come out of hiding when with a new sitter but with Diana he was coming out the first night already. He got along really well with her cat Spikey as well. They were having a blast chasing each other all night. I highly recommend to book her as your sitter.”
“Our furry friend, Cooper had a wonderful time at Xue’s. Xue was so welcoming and flexible from the start! We appreciated her willingness to take Cooper in a short 2 day notice. She shared pictures each day with us and was very communicative! Thank you so much, Xue! Cooper says “I woof you” 💕”
“Saumya and Gaurav took great care of our dog Coco. They sent constant updates and pictures and very accommodating and accessible. Really appreciate all the help and we will definitely leave Coco again with them, as we now feel we have a trusted family to take care of our pet.”
“5/5 🌟 Olivia was friendly and flexible from the beginning of our encounter. They took great care of our 65 lbs goldendoodle and sent us daily updates. We are so happy we’ve found a reliable dog boarder so close to home.”
“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!”
“Such a sweet person!! Carolyn went above and beyond to help us with our Sadie - she was our flower girl at our wedding and Carolyn was willing to come to the venue and get Sadie after our ceremony. She’s got a golden heart for animals! Thank you so much!!!”
“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!”
“Robin and Dan are very warm, caring and obvious dog lovers. They took Nora in with open arms and were very accommodating when it comes to her quirks. They sent many updates, photos and videos. I could tell Nora felt instantly at home with them and knew she would be well taken care of. Robin and I had thorough conversations before her stay on Nora’s specific needs and traits which mad me feel at ease. Nora was very happy and content when we picked her up and didn’t seem to want to leave! We would love for Robin and Dan to take care of Nora in the future”
“Gianina & her family were so great to my pup. we recently moved and I was really nervous leaving him while I left town. They sent photos daily which eased my discomfort but also helped me see how well Sutton settled in to their home and it brought me a lot of ease to see how comfortable he was so quickly. I will definitely book with her again in the future.”
“Shuvashna took great care of Yogi!! She is very trustworthy, reliable and flexible with our dog's needs. It's rare to find a dogsitter who genuinely cares, and Shuvashna showed us that and more. We feel lucky to have found her (recommended by a friend). She deserves 6 stars! Thank you Shuvashna! :)”
“Susan is a Terrific pet sitter! She kept us updated daily with pictures and highlights. She is an experienced dog lover who we felt very comfortable with watching our aging Frenchie🐶”
“I had a great experience boarding my cat with Svetlana through Rover! From the start, they were friendly, and responsive. Throughout the stay, I received regular picture and video updates, which gave me peace of mind knowing my cat was in good hands. It was obvious my cat was comfortable and well-cared for! I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again!”

“Nicole is incredible. Thank you so much for taking care of Logan. Despite a mixup, she found a way to adapt and overcome to complete the task! Above and beyond. Thank you. We would recommend Nicole highly.”
“Highly recommended! Exceptionally professional and caring. Shiyin provided top-notch care for my cat. She was punctual, highly communicative, and followed all feeding and care instructions perfectly. My cat warmed up to her almost instantly. Look no further if you want peace of mind while you are away. 5 stars all the way! Thank you for your service.”
“This was our first time having Daryl house sit and watch our cat Samantha. Daryl was extremely communicative and planning was a breeze. We got great photos of Samantha throughout his stay. We did a shorter stay to have Samantha get used to someone new as she has not been too good with new people lately. Overall things seemed to go very well and Samantha was even approaching Daryl by the end (big for us). He took his time to let her come to him but still kept up all her care! We will be using Daryl again this month for a longer stay!”
“Demi took EXCELLENT care of my kitty Brenna while I was out of town for a little less than a week. In addition to following all of my care requests, Demi went above and beyond even straightening my living room and kitchen while I was gone. I can't recommend her highly enough!”
“I’ve had Diana watch Oliver on multiple occasions now and she’s been a gem to work with every time. This recent stay, I changed the days and time a few times and she’s been super accommodating about it.”
“Angela did an excellent job taking care of my two cats, one of them requiring two pills per day for his GI lymphoma. She even took care of a perishable delivery which came for me while I was gone. I recommend Angela highly.”
“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!”
About: I have experiences with Senior care and basic training for puppies. I watch their body languages carefully to know when to pause a play and what they need from me :) Leia and I usually go for a walk in the morning, around 5 in the afternoon and quick bathroom break before going to bed. I work from home most of the time so id love to help to care for another dog so they’re not depressed alone at home whole the parents are off to earn money for their their pawbills 😝 I help to care for friends dogs when they need and I feed them together but separately so they don’t get food aggressive. I also monitor toys so it doesn’t create fights. Because I have Leia, I know the struggle and guilt feelings when you have vacation planned and need to leave the pup. I try my best to give lots of updates and pics so the humans can enjoy their time away as well.
About: I have experienced caring for cats with different personalities and needs. Every cat is different which is why I provide time to learn their comfort needs, keep patience with them, and learn the routine to provide them a safe and comfortable environment.
“Krystle was amazing with our cat! She helped with all the things I asked for and went above and beyond and helped with other things like ant invasion when we were away. She was extremely patient and sweet with our cat that was hiding under the couch during her visits. She was able to get our cat to play with her after couple of days, thanks to Krystle’s gentle approach. I was comfortable being away and knew that my cat was being treated well and taken care of. I 100% recommend Krystle! She’s truly the best. I’ll definitely reach out to her if I need a sitter again.”
“Booked a super last minute drop in visit for our dogs with Trevor and he was as excellent as when he did in-house dog sitting for us for a few days, communicative, attentive to the dogs and professional! Were very lucky to have found a reliable pet sitter our pups clearly adore!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for cats and currently own two of my own. I’ve been responsible for daily feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and making sure cats feel safe and comfortable in their environment. I also regularly care for my cousin’s cat, including feeding and general supervision. One of my previous cats was a purebred Siamese who enjoyed both indoor and outdoor time, so I’m familiar with monitoring safety, routines, and individual personality needs. I’m attentive, patient, and enjoy building trust with each pet I care for. While I currently have more experience with cats, I’m comfortable caring for dogs as well and am happy to follow detailed instructions to meet each dog’s individual needs. I’m available to provide consistent care, including daily visits and check-ins. I ensure pets have access to fresh water, food as instructed, and a clean environment, and I spend quality time with them so they feel comfortable and cared for. I aim to provide a safe, calm, and caring environment for every pet. I make sure pets are well cared for with clean spaces, regular meals, and plenty of attention. I’m patient and observant, and I enjoy spending time with pets to help them feel comfortable and relaxed. I understand how important trust is when leaving a pet with someone new, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m comfortable caring for affectionate pets who enjoy companionship, as well as pets who prefer more independence.
About: I’ve been caring for cats for over 6 years, including cats of all ages and personalities. Friends, neighbors, and family trust me to feed, play with, and check in on their cats while they’re away. I’m patient and gentle, and I understand that every cat has its own routine and comfort level. I make sure each cat feels safe, relaxed, and well cared for in their home.
“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.”

“Sharmista was kind, loving, and caring with our 1 yo Maltipoo, Yoda. She was very considerate and gave us updated with how he was adapting to his first time at her home. Yoda, enjoyed it and came home happy. I would highly recommend Sharmista!”
“Cissey was very accommodating with a last minute booking and took great care of our little guy. Our pup was nervous when we first dropped him off, but within a couple hours we got an update that he had settled in well and was playing with the other dogs and going out on a walk. Very responsive and a great first experience with Rover!”
About: I have been providing home-style dog boarding and pet care since 2017, with over 9 years of hands-on experience. I also worked for two years at a professional dog boarding and daycare facility in San Francisco and have experience in animal rescue. I am experienced in caring for dogs of all ages and personalities, especially puppies, senior dogs, rescue dogs, and dogs with anxiety or special needs. What sets me apart is my small, home-based care approach. I only accept 1–2 dogs at a time, which allows me to provide full attention, a calm environment, and truly personalized care for each dog. I am patient and attentive, and I adjust my care based on each dog’s personality to help them feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I stay at home most of the time and have a flexible schedule, so caring for pets is a natural part of my daily life. I take dogs out for walks, feed them, and spend time with them every day. I only accept a small number of dogs so I can give each pet plenty of attention and care. Home-style care in Castro Valley. Only 1–2 dogs at a time, never more than a small pack — so every visitor gets personal attention and a calm, consistent routine. Quiet indoor spaces to nap, multiple walks outside each day, and free meet-and-greets before any stay. I've been caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs and more since 2018 and specialize in small and medium dogs under 45 lb.
“Dina, Gil, their daughter, and Waffles were such kind and thoughtful hosts to Cooper! They followed directions carefully, asked great questions, and made sure he was well cared for. I would happily recommend them to anyone.”
“We (Soba included) love Shuvashna and can’t recommend her enough! Soba has a blast, is loved, fed and we get amazing photos and videos. We don’t feel as guilty taking trips because we know he has the best time at his home away from home :)”
“Xue was able to take care of my puppy and meet on very short notice! My pup had the opportunity to play with other dogs and she sent pictures and videos throughout the day :) thanks so much!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Angela yesterday who was incredibly kind, prompt, and kept us fully informed with updates through the day. Olive was fed exactly on time and came home happy, relaxed, and completely comfortable. We highly recommend their services!”
“Highly recommend Dylan! He’s local, super reliable, and great with my puppy, Olivia. He has two small dogs that Olivia absolutely loved playing with, which made her experience even better. It’s great to find a sitter where your pet gets both personal attention and social time.”
About: I’ve been a dog mom for over 30 years, and caring for pups is just part of who I am. My first dog was with me for 18 amazing years, and my second for 14. They were truly family! I love taking care of dogs all ages, but have a soft spot for senior dogs. I have a lot of experience with the extra care they need, like giving meds, keeping an eye on their health, and making sure they feel safe and loved. If your dog stays with our family, they’ll get all the cuddles, patience, and attention they deserve….just like we’d give our own. We love dogs and miss having our own, so we welcome all the pup cuddles! I am home during the day and can be available weekdays from 9 am to 4 pm for drop-in visits or taking your dog for a walk. In our home, your fur baby will be taken care of like family. We have a 9 and 7 year old who will help ensure they receive lots of love while you’re away. We have a fenced yard they can play in, as well as a great neighborhood we can go for walks in. You let us know what works best for your dog and we will make sure to stick to it, to help them feel as comfortable as possible and keep their routine. Our goal is to make the stay stress free for the dog and for you, as owners. For Drop-in visits, I will be sure to follow the routine you have shared for feeding, walks, and playtime to provide consistency and comfort. While with your dog, I will be sure to track feeding times, bathroom breaks, any behavioral observations, and share photos to give you peace of mind.
“Aubrey always sends lots of pupdates and ensures Teddy is happy and safe. When Teddy is in her care I never have to worry because I know she takes great care of him. He is always happy and tired when I pick him up! Thank you so much Aubrey and we can’t wait for more daycare and boarding in the future!”
“Houda & Fawzi and their lovely family were fantastic with Zoe (3yo pit bull). Their children are amazing with the dogs and there’s so much of their property to roam for Zoe. Zoe was exhausted, well fed and much loved when she came home. Thanks!”
“Tatiana is a nice, sweet, and pleasant lady. She welcomed us even though I was late for a scheduled drop off time. She answered my questions right away and I understood how she spent her day with Tatiana’s care. She took my dog out to the park and walked her around the park. I know my dog enjoyed staying with her because she seemed tired when I picked her up and went to sleep right after we got home.”
“Shyamala saved us! We were visiting from out of town for the birth of our grandchild, and when the baby came a bit early, we were without care for our pup. Shyamala responded quickly and was able to keep Callie overnight on an emergeny basis. She was kind, professional, good with Callie and communicative. I am filled with gratitude and highly recommend Shyamala for all your doggie day care needs!”
“Carolyn provided a warm, comfortable home for our pup and pampered her with lots of attention and care. Communication, updates, and photos were timely and appreciated! Carolyn is responsive and demonstrates a high level of care for the wellbeing and happiness of the pups.”
“Matthew was absolutely amazing with my Bear. I was initially a little nervous to hear how the first walk went given my dog’s fondness of squirrels. Matthew’s confidence, care and warmth toward Bear made him feel at home, like they have known each other forever. I highly recommend and plan on consistently booking. Thank you Matt!!”

She always provides pictures after each walk and we know Buddy is in great hands with her. You will not regret hiring Aubrey!”
“Aaron is extremely patient and flexible with my fear aggressive and reactive dog. He provides prompt updates and sends great pics. My dog has really gotten comfortable with him. I'm grateful for his commitment to my dog and willingness to take on a challenge. I recommend him for weekly walks.”

“Dawn is wonderful. She is very communicative and professional. She does an awesome job of relaying information back to me after every walk, whether its just that my two dogs were good boys or any general concerns about them--e.g. they have diarrhea or seem extra tired.... my two large dogs are generally shy/suspicious of new people but they warmed up to her very quickly. i would highly recommend her!”
“Joe was very punctual and communicative with us as he walked our two pups. We are very happy to come across his profile and we will be using him again in the future. Thank you Joe!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was about 8. Have helped my friends, family, and other people.I Enjoy going for a walk and playing. I can work part time and full time I’m available from Monday trough Friday but I can also make an exception to work on weekends. I am always watching over them, I also have a loving home where my family are good with pets. At clients home I’ll do the same thing, watch over them play with them, pet them, etc.
About: Premium home boarding with personalized care, a newly remodeled home, and a 10,000 sqft fenced yard where pets can safely play, explore, and relax. I spend most of my time at home, allowing me to provide close supervision, companionship, and individualized attention throughout the day. I intentionally keep the number of dogs/cats limited so that every guest receives the care, comfort, and attention they deserve. Whether your dog loves outdoor play, neighborhood walks, or simply relaxing indoors, I tailor their stay to their personality and routine. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and spend a lot of time at home, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. I live in a newly remodeled single-family home with a 10,000 sqft fenced yard, giving dogs plenty of space to explore, play, and enjoy the outdoors safely. I don’t have any pet in my house either. I have a flexible schedule and spend most of my time at home, allowing me to provide plenty of supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day.
About: Reliable and caring dog sitter with over three years of experience supporting multiple families. I’ve provided both in-home care and boarding for extended trips, including feeding, walking, and maintaining routines. As a former dog owner, I understand the importance of trust and treat every pet with patience, attention, and genuine care. I live in a safe neighborhood with access to the Iron Horse trail and a large fenced backyard for dogs to play! I work remotely, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, attention, and flexibility throughout the day. I am very active so I love taking walks and being outside with your animal! I tailor my care to each pet’s routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free.

I limit the number of pets to 2 at a time to ensure each dog gets personalized care.
About: I have always been in the childcare and education field, and the last few years has brought me to the world of dog sitting! Dogs tend to become very comfortable with me right away! I wake up early for walks, and your pup will receive about 3 per day, including lots of ball and toy tosses and tons of love and attention! I live in a condo with a spacious living room for plenty of play and to keep crates and beds. Walks are always leashed. Pups are allowed on the couch and in bed. Snuggles are very important!
“Stephanie provided an excellent experience when booking dog walking services. She was responsive, incredibly friendly, and sent adorable photo updates of my dogs. I truly appreciate her service and would highly recommend her!”

About: I have two dogs and two cats. I’ve done dog walking since early middle school and pet sitting for two years. I love animals and have for a long time. I’ll bring treats and spoil your furry friends! Walks, cuddles and playtime are my specialty! I just finished my semester of school and am pretty free for the summer! I love excuses to go out of the house and go on walk adventures with dogs or cuddles with your cat (or walk them if they like walks too!) For walks I like to double leash just for added security and safety with dogs. I can swing by during set times you want me to be there, give food and play or go on walks. If you want me to house and pet sit I will bring my own stuff to keep myself entertained and maybe a few treats to share with your furry friends.
About: I have experience taking care of dogs because I grew up with them. Being around dogs has always felt natural to me, so I understand the basics of feeding them, walking them, playing with them, keeping them comfortable, and paying attention to what they need. I’m gentle, patient, and attentive, but I’m also playful, so I enjoy making sure dogs are not just cared for, but actually happy and engaged. I know every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I would always respect the owner’s instructions and take time to understand what works best for their dog. I’m currently in college and home for the summer, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I’m available for walks, playtime, drop-ins, and consistent care throughout the week. I’m happy to work with your dog’s routine and make scheduling easy for you. I care for pets by keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. In a client’s home, I would follow their instructions carefully, whether that includes feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication, or general house rules. I want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. For walks or visits, I would stay aware of my surroundings, keep dogs secure on their leash, avoid unsafe situations, and pay attention to how they’re acting. My goal is for the pet to feel cared for and for the owner to feel relaxed knowing their dog is safe and in good hands.
About: I have over four years of experience caring for pets—from a small, nervous Chihuahua to a large, restless Husky. My greatest experience has been with my own pet, who has been sickly since birth and requires special care. She is currently in Mexico with her dad; I have missed her so much that I decided I could channel that feeling into helping and caring for other owners who—just like me—view their pets as part of their family. My main goal is for both parents and pets to feel calm, safe, and happy. I have a job in the afternoon-night and I think I have enough time to help you take care or walk of your pet Safety is always my top priority when caring for pets in a client’s home or during walks. I always make sure to follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding routines, leash requirements, and any special care needs. I double-check doors, gates, and secure all entry points before and after visits to ensure the pet is safe at all times. During walks, I keep dogs on a secure leash and stay alert to surroundings to avoid any potential risks, such as other aggressive dogs or unsafe areas. I prefer walking in safe, familiar neighborhoods and avoid high-traffic or dangerous situations. I also monitor the pet’s behavior closely to make sure they are comfortable, calm, and not showing signs of stress. If anything unusual happens, I communicate immediately with the owner so they are always informed.
About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life and currently have an 11 yo pomchi and a 16 yo tabby cat! In addition to being a pet parent, I have recently started fostering rescues. I’ve worked from home full-time for years, so your pet will have constant companionship and a watchful eye throughout the day. My own pup enjoys a regular routine of three walks daily, and I find it easy to seamlessly blend a guest’s specific schedule into our own. You said can you make it shorter? Gemini said I know how stressful leaving a pet can be. Having traveled extensively for work in the past, I often struggled to find a sitter I truly trust so I aim to be the reliable, transparent sitter I always wanted for my own fur babies! My priority is your peace of mind. I believe in "over-communicating" and will send frequent photo and video updates so you never have to wonder how things are going. Whether it’s sticking to a strict feeding schedule or providing plenty of belly rubs, I’m dedicated to ensuring you can travel with complete comfort and ease while your pet enjoys a consistent, loving routine.

“Sameer, Reyna, and their kids are pretty much Helo's second family! By now, he knows the drill. This recent visit we dropped him off and Helo just walked casually into their house, laid down and had a face like "I'm in good hands, you can go now." We always feel at ease when we drop off our pup because we know he is very well taken care of. Helo comes home happy, well-played, and always excited to come back next time. I try to book well in advance because Sameer and his family get booked up so fast since everyone knows they are amazing dog lovers and care takers! Sameer and Reyna, we will forever stay and be your repeat customers!”
“5/5 🌟 Olivia was friendly and flexible from the beginning of our encounter. They took great care of our 65 lbs goldendoodle and sent us daily updates. We are so happy we’ve found a reliable dog boarder so close to home.”
“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!”
“Such a sweet person!! Carolyn went above and beyond to help us with our Sadie - she was our flower girl at our wedding and Carolyn was willing to come to the venue and get Sadie after our ceremony. She’s got a golden heart for animals! Thank you so much!!!”
“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!”
“I had a great experience boarding my cat with Svetlana through Rover! From the start, they were friendly, and responsive. Throughout the stay, I received regular picture and video updates, which gave me peace of mind knowing my cat was in good hands. It was obvious my cat was comfortable and well-cared for! I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again!”
“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.”
“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.”
“This is the first time I left my little pupper - Phoebe, with Jackie and Jannalea, for 5 days. They have been excellent from the start of our conversation- they proposed a meet and greet, which I always prefer, and then told me in details about their boarding experience. They asked every detail about Phoebe so as to help make her stay experience excellent. Phoebe can be skittish of meeting new humans, but Jackie knew very well how to comfort her. During the stay when I left my dog, she was of course upset to see me leave, but in no time she made their home her own, because Jackie and Jannalea treated her like their very own pet, of course. She slept on the bed with them, got lots of cuddles, play, and had other dog to give her company as well - Phoebe loves every dog she meets, so that is definitely a plus for me. Jannalea and Jackie kept me posted about Phoebe on daily basis with photos and updates, which really comforted me. Phoebe looked visibly happy and relaxed in every pic. In fact when my husband went to pick her up, it seems Phoebe was upset to be leaving Jackie and Jannalea’s place. I’m so very happy with the mother daughter duo, and can say with full confidence… we are gonna be your repeat clients. Thank you for showering my pupper with so much love and care ❤️”
“Kelly and her family were the best dog sitters we could’ve asked for our energetic Daisy! 🌼 This was our first time using Rover and we were so lucky to find Kelly! They really took the time in our ‘meet and great’ to hear about Daisy and all her craziness;) Thank you Kelly, Sara and Nora for taking such good care of our fur baby and all the wonderful photos and pics!! I don’t think she wanted to come home;)”
“This was my first time leaving my puppy (and I'm also a first time dog Mom)...but Rachel made my first experience so pleasant. She took great care of my puppy and kept me updated with pictures and videos.”
“I had such a great experience boarding my dog, Skye, over Thanksgiving week. From start to finish, the care was outstanding. Skye immediately felt comfortable, and I could tell he was in good hands the entire time. I received regular updates, including photos and messages, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. The environment was clean, safe, and welcoming, and it was clear that Skye was treated like part of the family. He came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. I highly recommend Astrid to anyone looking for reliable, caring, and attentive dog boarding. I’ll definitely book again in the future!”
“Mary did an awesome job watching our Great Dane while we were out of the country for 10 days. She was also very flexible in allowing us to set up a couple of brief visits in advance to help our dog get comfortable before we left town. I would definitely recommend Mary and request her services again!”
“Rober's calm demeanor and patience, with both us and our energetic adolescent Rottweiler are highly appreciated! He's got a space well built to accommodate several dogs and still allow safety for those needing separation. We trust him and will continue to favor him as our furboy's caregiver when we're away!”
About: I have been a proud dog parent to my German Shepherd, which gave me hands-on experience caring for a large, intelligent, and high-energy breed. Through these years, I handled daily walks, feeding schedules, grooming, training reinforcement, and lots of playtime and companionship. Caring for a German Shepherd taught me the importance of structure, patience, exercise, and positive reinforcement. I understand how much love, attention, and consistency dogs need to feel safe and happy. I truly love dogs and treat every pet as if they were my own — with care, responsibility, and plenty of affection. Since I work from home, I’m able to spend most of my day with the pets I care for, giving them plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I work from home, so dogs receive constant supervision, attention, and care throughout the day. My home has a spacious 12,000 sq. ft. backyard, including a separate fenced area for safe outdoor play and exercise. I provide a calm, secure, and loving environment where every dog is treated like family. 🐾
“Emerson is such an incredible host! My dog, Ranger, was anxious when I dropped him off, but after plenty of attention and exercise, he quickly warmed up to Emerson. I especially loved seeing all the fun pictures and videos throughout my entire trip. Can't recommend him enough!”
“Chad was caring and patient with my dog, and he was very responsive to my messages. He was able to stay home with her and provided regular updates, and it gave me peace of mind that she was in good hands while my husband and I were at our wedding.”
About: I've loved dogs since I was young. My husband and daughter share the same love for dogs and our family approach is, the more pups, the merrier! Our newest pup, Waffles, loves to play and brings us joy. I mostly work from home. I usually do a long walk in the mornings and in the afternoons, with lots of backyard play time during the day. I have a fenced yard for dogs to roam and a doggie door. Our young playful and goofy goldendoodle loves to play and would enjoy having some playmates.
“This is the second time our dog has stayed with Ulunma, and she has always been responsive and our dog has come home happy and healthy! He loves swimming in her pool and playing with her gentle older dog!”
