“Jennifer was amazing with Buddy, this is the first time I sent my boy to a dog sitter and was completely nervous about it. Jennifer understood this and made an extra effort to update me on how he was doing. Jennifer was also amazing on being flexible with time and working with how both buddy and I were getting on during this time.”
“Allison is amazing! So personable and kind and treated my babies great. Got daily pictures/videos and was able to feel at ease during my out of country vacation. Would highly recommend her services. Thank you again Allison!”
“Celia is a true dog lover. She took care of my sweet Chihuahua named Joy with love and care. It felt like I’m sending my baby to vacation spa. Celia communicate with me every day, twice a day and sent me pictures to reassure me of the well-being of my joy. I’m very happy and grateful to find such a great dog sitter. I recommend Celia with all my heart she really gave me a piece of mind while I was away.”
“I cannot recommend Steven enough! My dog is quite skittish with strangers and has a very specific routine at home, so I was nervous about boarding. Steven was incredibly understanding and listened to all my concerns, but what impressed me most was how he prioritized reading her body language over just following my instructions blindly. He understood that she might behave differently in a new environment and adapted brilliantly. Despite the challenges of a different household dynamic—managing a 'grazer' around his own dog and mirroring our busy family routine—he made her feel right at home. By the first night, she was eating, playing, and even sleeping in her crate! If you want a sitter who truly understands dog psychology and provides personalized care, Steven is the one.”
“Mk was amazing, so attentive to our Zane, he definitely enjoyed himself. She sent daily pictures of how's he doing, went above and beyond even gave him a goodie bag 😊 will definitely book her for the future”
“Tracey is awesome! She took great care of my dog, kept me posted and sent me pictures. Chloe had great time at Tracey’s place, got a lot of love from her and her amazing family. I’ll always leave Chloe with Tracey when I go out to town.”
“I chose Margerita as my sitter the first time I used Rover and will always choose her. She is terrific. Even though it was last minute, she helped our family and we were able to attend a wedding out-of-town without worry. She even sent photos of him having a blast!-Camille D.”
“This was our first time ever leaving our fur baby with anyone overnight, and we were honestly very hesitant at first. We are so thankful we decided to trust Stephanie and her family! From the moment we met them, we instantly felt welcomed, relieved, and confident that our fur baby would be in great hands. Stephanie went above and beyond by sending daily updates and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our fur baby was loved and well cared for the entire time. I highly recommend her for boarding services and will absolutely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Was a fabulous experience my dog was so happy. I was sent lots of pictures and videos showing how great Frodo was doing. Would definitely recommend Rana. I would definitely use her again”
“We love Cyndi and so does Reecie & Khaleesi! Cyndi went above and beyond and settled our fears with leaving our special needs weenie dog behind in someone else’s care. Amazing!”
About: I believe taking care of a dog is like taking care of a baby, only with fur. I have 9 plus yrs of experience with dogs. I’ve dog sat for family & friends.

I will give great pet care to my best ability upon return and ready to put your pet sitting worries at ease. At this time, I’m unable to provide overnight boarding or house sitting in my home because I currently live with family. However, I’d still love to care for your pets! I’m available for drop-in visits, dog walking, daycare (if applicable), and pet sitting in your home during the day. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Being attentive. Having a routine is what I believe pets thrive on to be an obedient. I’ve trained my dog in the past to be great walker from a puppy to adult age and trained when it was time relieve themselves outside. I’ve learned when you use repetitive words they will eventually know what command it is. Consistency and routine is key.
“Alyssa and her family were absolutely the best. My little Shih Tzu gets kind of shy and nervous but he warmed up so fast. I was sent update photos and I could tell my dog felt at home. If I’m being honest, he seemed not as excited when I showed up. Definitely recommend and will use this family again. Thank you isn’t enough!”
“Ana was amazing with my puppy. I was really really nervous about leaving him for the first time, especially since he’s never been around other dogs. But he did great! And I got tons of pictures and videos which helped ease my worry about being far away. I will definitely use her for any upcoming trips I may have ?”

About: I’ve cared for cats my entire life and understand that each one has a unique personality and routine. I have experience feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, administering basic care, providing playtime and enrichment, and making sure cats feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m patient, attentive, and respectful of each cat’s space, whether they’re social and playful or shy and independent. As a Veterinary Technician student, I’m also expanding my knowledge of feline health and behavior to provide the best care possible.
“Daisy is so wonderful!! I am grateful for the peace of mind I have when she watches our cats. She always goes above and beyond to make sure they are happy and healthy. We appreciate her! 😊”
About: I’ve cared for cats for 30 years and understand that each one has their own unique personality. I’m calm, patient, and respectful of their space, whether they’re social and playful or more shy and independent. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, litter box cleaning, playtime, and giving cats the attention they want (and space when they don’t). I also have cats of my own, so I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for them. I aim to create a calm, safe environment while you’re away.
About: I have 11 years of cat care-taking experience! I have two beautiful bonded cats, Luna and Rui. My cats are indoors-only, so I know how to keep kitties who are strictly indoors from ever going outside. I feed my cats on a schedule, 3 times a day, and their food is always measured out, so if your cat's food schedule is similar, I have lots of experience with that. I also ensure all cat litters are cleaned at least once daily to ensure a pristine kitty bathroom! (: I absolutely love cats, and I have experience taking care of my own cats and friend's cats. I can't wait to meet and care for your baby!

“Cyndi is great. She took care of our Dini for the weekend. She was very informative and kept us updated. Our Dini was shy & nervous as this was his first time at a sitter. I definitely recommend her and look forward to using her services again.”
“Melissa is a nice care giver! She would meet me 1 day before the walk starts to know Zoy and learn everything needs to know about Zoy. During the stay, she always keep the communication channel open and responds in no delay. We experienced the hottest weather in Bay Area, Mellisa make sure the fan is on max speed and air flows as well as leave plenty water for Zoy. Also provides professional observation and updated to me on how Zoy took the heat!! I was on business travel and she really took care of Zoy and eased on my worrisome mind. Highly recommend her!! Thank you Mellisa!!”

About: Hello! My name is Patricia and I love dogs! I have a 6-year-old Corgi, and when dogs stay at my house, they are treated as my own. We have a big fenced-in backyard, complete with a dog agility course! We love to go on walks in our neighborhood and on the Virginia Trail. Sometimes we will stop at Yogurt Mill for a pup-yo! I also have plenty of treat puzzle toys to keep your dog entertained and mentally stimulated throughout the day. I only watch dogs from one family at a time, so you know your pup will be getting lots of attention from me. REQUIREMENTS: In order to stay with us, your dog must be crate trained and must be able to demonstrate some basic obedience commands (for example: sit-stay, down-stay, place, on-leash heel, and recall). I currently work from home, so I will be home most of the day with your pup! If your dog is staying with me for a weekend, there is a good chance we will take them to a park or on a short hike. I have a fully fenced in yard and air conditioning indoors for hot days. I always provide plenty of fresh ice water, and I will always keep your pup on a leash when going for walks outside the backyard.

You name it I just love being around all types of animals. Dogs are more my favorite. Depending on the dog also depends on what activities we will do. Go to the park out here and walk the track, play ball or frisbee.

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I was relied on to take care of them with feeding them, walking, bathing them and training them. Etc. I’m currently not working but I am a stay at home mom , So I’m able to have time to play with pets and make sure to do anything necessary to help out, I’m able to house sit, boarding, and foster. We do have a small male dog in the house that we can keep separate from the dogs/cats. I always check fence gates before letting a dog outside. Always lock the doors, and make sure I don't step outside without the key incase I get locked out. Providing pets with food and fresh water. Administering medication to pets according to the instructions provided by pet owners. Cleaning out litter boxes and crates. We do prefer the animal to have a crate we can put them in or we can provide one too.
“Shinead (and her daughter) were just great. She watched our older dog for a few hours on a hot day which saved us from having to leave him in a hotel by himself. It made it possible for us to know he was well taken care of while we were out doing things on our drive across the state. Thank you for your kindness”
About: I’ve been dog walking almost all my life, growing up with dogs. Since 2023 I’ve been dog sitting neighbors dogs and taking care of their house while they are gone. I am currently a student at MJC, so my schedule is busy in mornings but avalaible after my classes. I will make my time avalaible devoted on what is needed for the dog. I have a beautiful neighborhood perfect for walking a dog. My house is safe with no where for the dog to run away or harm itself.
About: I’ve taken care of dog of many ages. I know how to properly maintain pets and made sure to keep them in a safe environment. My current dog had given birth to my second dog, I’ve managed her health through pregnancy leading to after birth. I’ve had a dog that had grown old into 14 years. He continues to live in my heart. I’m currently unemployed and recently graduated. I have a lot of space in my schedule. I shower my dogs, feed them daily and are constantly watching them, and I continue to have time for myself. I have a fenced yard if your dog is wanting to freely move around not indoors. I have two dogs who can possibly get along depending on how big they are. They’re both pretty small! Other than that, if you provide a crate, I will gladly follow your lead with such equipment.
“Christina watched my puppy Zahra again while I was at work. My boyfriend usually takes Zahra to work with him, but he had to travel last minute and Christina was there to help! I had to drop Zahra off at 7am and pick her up at 6pm, and she spent all day playing with Christina's dogs and napping from happy puppy exhaustion. It is great to find someone who is very responsive and communicates well, and I trust watching my young pup. I will absolutely use Christina again when I need help!”

“Jennifer was amazing with Buddy, this is the first time I sent my boy to a dog sitter and was completely nervous about it. Jennifer understood this and made an extra effort to update me on how he was doing. Jennifer was also amazing on being flexible with time and working with how both buddy and I were getting on during this time.”
“I cannot recommend Steven enough! My dog is quite skittish with strangers and has a very specific routine at home, so I was nervous about boarding. Steven was incredibly understanding and listened to all my concerns, but what impressed me most was how he prioritized reading her body language over just following my instructions blindly. He understood that she might behave differently in a new environment and adapted brilliantly. Despite the challenges of a different household dynamic—managing a 'grazer' around his own dog and mirroring our busy family routine—he made her feel right at home. By the first night, she was eating, playing, and even sleeping in her crate! If you want a sitter who truly understands dog psychology and provides personalized care, Steven is the one.”

“This was our first time ever leaving our fur baby with anyone overnight, and we were honestly very hesitant at first. We are so thankful we decided to trust Stephanie and her family! From the moment we met them, we instantly felt welcomed, relieved, and confident that our fur baby would be in great hands. Stephanie went above and beyond by sending daily updates and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our fur baby was loved and well cared for the entire time. I highly recommend her for boarding services and will absolutely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Was a fabulous experience my dog was so happy. I was sent lots of pictures and videos showing how great Frodo was doing. Would definitely recommend Rana. I would definitely use her again”

About: I have always been a dog lover as well as a dog owner. I am outgoing, responsible, patient and affectionate. I make sure I am caring for each dog properly for their needs and wants. I am able to exercise with the dogs and take them out frequently for potty breaks. I also now have 2 large breeds of my own and it has been a mostly fun and rewarding experience. They help me with my mental health and physical health. My family and I have so much fun dog boarding and I find it fulfilling to work as a dog sitter. Maybe I'll open up a unique pet services business one day 🙏🏾🤗🫶🏾 Pet care fits into my schedule when I am not working a full-time job. As I stated, I have 2 dogs of my own and spend a lot of time training them and taking care of their physical needs. In my own home and in a clients home I will care for your pets as if they were my own and follow the guidelines and notes that are given to me. I appreciate notes and advice from owners.
