“Loved letting Plumeria stay with Kushram! Went out of town for 4 days, and they took great care of her. They sent photos every few days for updates on care, and were very kind and reassuring. Will definitely be going back.”
“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.”
“Our Shepherd/Husky loved staying with Allora and her family. He loved being able to play with their dog Boba, chasing each other around in their large outdoor backyard. Allora was very attentive and sent pictures every day, keeping us up to date with all the activities they were up to, which included walks every day, and being involved in family activities. I will definitely choose to leave him with Allora in the future too.”
“Jeanette is incredibly caring and easily adapted to the requirements of my special needs dog. Communicates well, and as a first time boarder, took the time to answer my questions and put me at ease. Choose Jeanette if you want your dog to be loved and looked after just as you would. Thank you!!”
“I can't find the words to express how grateful I am for the loving, attentive care you provided to my senior fur baby, Izzy. Thank you for the daily updates and photos that gave me complete peace of mind while we were away. Izzy clearly enjoyed her stay, and I knew she was in the best hands. Gayane, you are truly amazing. I'm forever thankful to have found you, and am hopeful this is just the beginning of many wonderful stays to come.”
“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: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities for 15 years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, play with, and care for their pets while away. I’m patient, attentive, active, and genuinely love animals. I understand the importance of making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I love taking dogs on hikes and to the beach as well. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week and on weekends. I enjoy staying active, spending time outdoors, and making sure pets get the care, attention, exercise, and companionship they need to feel happy and comfortable. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving, and attentive environment and always follow the owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding, routines, medications, walks, and special care needs. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior and body language to ensure they feel safe, secure, and well cared for at all times.
“Had an absolutely amazing experience having Amanda and Michell watch our Lucy. We’d never left a pet with strangers before, and they couldn’t have made the process more comfortable. Amanda sent daily photos and a brief note on what they did that day. Lucy got to go on many long walks and hikes, and really became part of their family. At the end of her stay, we received a report card on Lucy’s behavior, which was the cutest thing ever. Without hesitation, I’d use Amanda and Michell again, and highly recommend them to anyone needing a pet sitter.”
“Nadine was amazing looking after both of my dogs this time! She sent us so many photos and videos throughout their stay and both of my dogs were having a blast! I 100% recommend Nadine!”
“Christian, Deirdra and their 2 girls are absolutely wonderful. They were so good with my baby and always accommodating when possible for last minute boards. I love all the updates and pictures. Anytime I need and they have an opening this would be my goto dog sitter. You won't go wrong leaving your precious pups with the family as they will be well cared for and loved.”
“I am so grateful to have found Ikeena here. My dog has anxiety and Ikeena immediately put him at ease and took great care of him. She asked thoughtful/caring questions since my dog has some special needs. She took my dog on hikes/walks in the park and took excellent care of him. She sent videos and photos too.”
“If you are looking for an EXCELLENT sitter for your dog, don't hesitate to book with Deborah! We have one dog with some special problems and Deborah was a champ with her. We got multiple pictures and updates on how they were doing through out the day. Our babies came home happy, healthy, and exhausted, so we know they had a great time. Thank you Deborah for watching our babies without us having to worry about them. BOOK WITH DEBORAH YOU WON'T BE SORRY!!!!!”
About: Hello! I’m a lifelong dog lover and the proud owner of a 10-year-old Shih Tzu–Pomeranian mix which lived with us since he was 2-month-old. So I am experienced with dogs at all ages. I’ve cared for many smalls to medium size dogs over the years and understand their routines, personalities, and needs. I have a clean, well-kept and very large, fenced yard and offer a calm, clean, and safe home with plenty of attention and gentle play. I enjoy hosting small to medium-sized dogs and treat every pup like part of the family. What is my drive? I host dogs, because I want a companion for my doggy, I enjoy spending time with dogs, and I am home every day of the week. I am available for boarding seven days a week and maintain a flexible schedule. I am home most of the day, allowing me to provide consistent supervision, care, and attention. I can often accommodate bookings on short notice and work with your schedule to ensure a smooth drop-off and pick-up experience. I provide a safe, clean, and calm home environment for all dogs. I have a large, fully fenced yard where dogs can run and play freely, along with a doggy door for easy outdoor access when appropriate. I only have one small, friendly dog at home, and I carefully introduce pets to ensure comfort and compatibility. Your dog will be supervised, cared for attentively, and treated like part of the family.
“Cat is wonderful. After her second stay I wasn't sure Molly, our dog, even wanted to come home with us. Cat really puts effort into treating your dog as one of her own. Great photo updates as well. She has become our goto sitter.”
“So happy with how Chris took care of my dog Flaco. Chris and his family treated my dog like their own and made him feel right at home. Usually our dog takes a while to get use to his rover sitter, but with Chris, my dog felt instantly loved. Highly recommend as your first option as a sitter.”
“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.”
“Banksy had an amazing time at Luna's and loved playing with Jim. I felt extremely comfortable leaving Banksy with Luna, based on the questions she asked about Banksy, her attention to detail about his needs and safety, and just her kind warm personality! I loved the pictures each day. I wholeheartedly recommend Luna and will definitely be having her watch Banksy again!”
“Jennifer was great. She is a very caring person and took care of my dog like her own. Her environment provided lots of activity and socialization for my very energetic dog. She sent lots of pictures and let me know how my dog was doing.”

About: I've always had pets of all kinds, but cats have been my favorite. My oldest cat lived to be 20, she was well loved. My last cat just passed in November of last year, and I feel the loss. I'm now ready to shower your pet with love and care! Right now I can take one cat at a time, or 2 if they are from the same home. They must have a carrier or cage. I will provide the litter box. They will be able to access multiple rooms in the house if they want to.
“I have hired Nicoletta multiple times and she is the best! My cat has to be medicated twice a day and she was able to keep him on schedule. I always have peace of mind knowing that she’s taking care of Riley.”
“Samiah did a wonderful job taking care of Snow. She was very attentive, reliable, and kept us updated during our time away. We came home to a happy, well cared for dog and a clean home, which gave us great peace of mind. We’re very thankful for all her help and would gladly book with her again. Highly recommend! 🐶💕”
“Alex is the best. We've engaged her repeatedly to take care of our cats and she's very attentive with our problematic pica cat who eats everything. She also leaves the house really clean by helping us vacuum the litter!”
“Merlette was great taking care of our cats! She is very responsive and followed all the care instructions very well. She also reached out in advance to come over and review how to care for them which I really appreciated.”
“Rachel Ann was a lifesaver for us when we needed last-minute care for our cat, Freya. Our cat needed two new prescriptions administered twice daily and her food preferences had also just changed. Rachel Ann was an absolute professional in caring for Freya and even adjusted the visit times to accommodate how our cat was responding. She was very loving and sent daily updates and photos. We will definitely request Rachel Ann again and we recommend her to anyone who needs routine or advanced care for their cat.”
About: Since I started caring for loved ones' cats and adopted one of my own, I've learned what special creatures they are. Friends and family trust me with their care and I fall in love with their unique personalities every time. I clean litter boxes at least once a day, provide fresh water and food, keep track of food intake and frequency/quality of bathroom breaks, make sure they get lots of play time, and administer topical and oral medication as needed. I also have experience with senior cats and cats with chronic kidney disease.
About: I grew up with cats, and a year hasn't gone by without a cat in my life. I've helped acclimate wild garage cats to humans on several occasions, and have learned all the tiny body language cues. I've had friends praise me for my ability to quit the petting while I'm ahead and not get scratched by even the sassiest of cats.
“Jessica is awesome. She took great care of our two kitties while we were gone for the holidays. It is such a relief to know your pets are in good hands when you travel. We highly recommend Jessica.”
“Thank you so much for caring for our spotty boy! We really appreciate you and the time you took to come see to his needs. Excellent work, super responsive and communicative.”
“This was my first experience using Rover for my cat, and Emma provided exceptional care, consistently updating me during each visit. Her approachable and communicative nature put me at ease while my partner and I were away. I look forward to booking her services again in the future.”
“Val was amazing! She did drop in visits for my dogs for about five days. On each visit she took pictures and updated me on the status of my dogs. I could see on their faces that they were having fun with Val. She even bought them some toys to play with. She was very attentive and responsible.”
About: I have been a cat lover my entire life! I grew up always with 1 or 2 cats in the house and it wasnt until i moved away to college where i couldnt have pets that i realized how much i missed their intelligence, their cuddles and purrs. I am not able to have pets at this time in my life, however am a caring, trustworthy and loving petsitter. i treat all animals as if they were my own! If your cat tends to shy away from humans, i understand how to give them the space they need to stay comfortable in their home while still receiving care and consistency. If your cat prefers to have people around 24/7 instead of pop in visits, they are welcome to come stay with me during your vacations! fine detail to feeding schedules or medication regiments are nothing new to me and i understand the importance. please be litter trained :)

“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!”
About: I've had multiple pets all my life and seen many into old age, when they need special care. I'm not just looking for the perfect rpretty pet, but I want you to feel confident and at ease with the care and love I will give your furry family member I'm retired so can give full time care to your pet. My yard is large and fully fenced in. the house is pet friendly as well. I am retired so mostly home but do go out occasionally for shopping and other daily activities. I would prefer to crate your dog for my out periods. Also your dogs should be house broken, I will take them out as often as needed for bathroom breaks I will treat all your pets as if they were my own, and hope we can build a long and trusting relationship with each other. If they like pets, cuddles and treats, that's even better!

“Emma was wonderful. She took great care of Poppy for the day while we attended the memorial services for our friend in San Francisco. Emma sent photos and a video to let us know everything was going OK. Poppy is shy and can be skittish around new situations and Emma was super accommodating.”
“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: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I always give them attention, affection, and a calm environment. My goal is to make your pet feel happy and relaxed, just like at home. I had a beloved dog for 11 years who lived with epilepsy, so I have extensive experience caring for a dog with special medical needs. I would be truly happy to provide loving and attentive care for other dogs as well. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I am available every day of the week. I plan my schedule around the pets I care for, making sure they receive consistent attention, walks, feeding, and companionship. I’m flexible and can adjust to your pet’s specific routine and needs. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for whether they stay in my home or I care for them in theirs. At my home, pets have access to a large backyard for supervised play and exercise, along with all the essentials needed for a comfortable stay.

“I am grateful to Jeanette, Abraham and family for taking very good care of my dog while I went to work. 5 stars for standing behind their mission of “family while away”… yes, they are! I received photos and were responsive from beginning to end of our 2-day daycare booking. All around trustworthy people; what a gem! My dog is very picky and she warmed up within a day with Jeanette and Abraham. Thank you very much and we will definitely be back.”

“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.”
“Fransico was great with Luna. She even continued to bring him toys to play as we were trying to go home 😂. Did a great job of keeping me updated and sending photos. Luna clearly had a great time with him and was worn out when we got home she knocked out! That's what I love a well worked out fur baby after a full day. Thank you again and we will be return customers!”
About: I grew up as the daughter of a professional dog trainer—my mother—and have carried on her love for all animals. I was taught how to handle reactive, nervous dogs with calm gentle confidence, keep high-energy dogs busy with engaging activities, and give mindful care of dogs that have any special needs. Dogs have been a part of my life since birth, including my 15 year old boy Chunk that is so disarming, he makes an excellent companion for even the most nervous dogs. I’ve gained a broad amount of experience as the go-to enthusiastic dog sitter for all my friends and family’s pets. I would love share a warm, welcoming home with your pet where nightly snuggles on the couch are the norm. 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.
“Nadine is such a kind and caring pup sitter! Super accommodating and kept me informed of my pup’s activities throughout the day! She’s definitely going to be a forever companion for my pooch!”
“Romulus had a great time! He was all tuckered out from all fun he had with Deanna. Deanna also was very understanding when I couldn’t make the pick up time I had originally put in. Will definitely use her again to watch Ro.”
About: I have been in the animal world since 2017 with my first job being at an animal shelter. In 2024 I graduated from a university to earn my bachelor's degree in canine science to further my knowledge and skill. I absolutely love dogs and all animals; I treat them with the same respect I would another person. I specialize in reward based training (positive reinforcement), dog body language, and behavior. Dog training should be fun for you and the dog. Positive reinforcement is the best way to train because it helps build better bonds between the pet parent and the dog, as well as teach important behaviors and discourage and substitute unwanted behaviors. In my care, your dog(s) will be treated as a part of the family. My main goal is to keep your pup(s) happy, calm, exercised; this should feel like their home away from home. I currently am working home full time for the business, from dog training to grooming to walking to daycare & boarding, we are here for you! There will always be someone here to keep an eye on your pup(s), when I leave my partner is here to help out. We are open everyday. The pups are always treated like my own. When staying over, they keep company with me and my dogs. We are always watching the dogs and making sure they are safe and comfortable. If I am going to your place I will always treat your place with respect.

“Valissa is communicative, prompt, and always has tidbits to share about her time walking with our kinda awkward girl, a large Shepard mix Maggie. Would recommend her to walk your big dogs who need a strong leader!”
“Thank you so much Adam!! You are simply the best!!! Adam is my go-to every time, and he never disappoints. My dogs love Adam!! I am so happy I found him, and so are my dogs!! Thank you!!!”
“"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”
“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 am a lifelong animal lover! Dogs have always been an addition in my family, and truly another family member to me and my family. I have been walking dogs since 2017, and house sitting since 2022. My values are built upon respect, communication, and kindness! I am adaptable and flexible with coordinating care for your pets, and following the needs of them. I am willing to administer medications, and learn how to care for your pets. I am looking forward to meeting you and your pets! I’m currently a master’s student, who has a few days off a week! My schedule will become even more free with my academic winter and summer break! I can check on your pets in the am, mid day, and evening! Weekday night walks or weekend dog sitting works best for me at this point in time. While taking care of pets in others homes, I will be sure to respect the owner's boundaries. I will never touch anything in the house that is off limits. I will be attentive with your dogs needs and give them love. I will be sure to attend to the pets and let them use the restroom frequently as well.
“Merlette was so patient with our dog who was a little shy on the first visit. She’s also a great communicator and made the whole process easy. So relieved to have found someone who can walk our dog.”
“Emma is very punctual, flexible with her schedule, and easy to communicate with. My dog is high energy and anxiety, she’s not trusting of new ppl and is very vocal. Two walks later, she’s Emma’s best friend. I appreciate Emma’s calm energy. She lets dogs go to her and doesn’t force any affection onto them while being attentive and sweet. She walks my dog twice a week and she will be boarding with her soon. Highly recommend.”
About: I am a dog lover like I’m sure most of us on Rover are. I have two dogs myself. Riley my three year-old Pomeranian mix, and Raven my 18 month old toy poodle. I’ve also helped to take care of my mom’s five-year-old Maltese mix Max who has megaesophagus. Normally during the school year I send my dogs to my friend’s house while I’m at work, she and her husband have three dogs of her own. Often she will watch other friend’s dogs as well while they travel. After school I’ll hang out and help her with/play with all the pups. My daytime job is a teacher. I’ve been teaching (mostly 3rd grade) in Vallejo for over 20 years now. I would like to spend my summers traveling but this summer don’t have any big plans. I’d love to spend my time taking care of, playing with, walking, and enjoying being with dogs who make me so happy! Currently I am starting out with just offering drop in visits and dog walking. If that changes in the future I have a dog friendly home, fenced in yard, lots of toys, pee pads inside if needed as well as grass outside.

“If I could give Rod 10 stars I would! His communication is excellent - always prompt with pics and information about their walks.

About: I’ve had a dog ever since I was about 8 years old. I’m about to be 29 so that’s over 20 years of experience! I’ve had very calm dogs to my now 2 high energy, herding, reactive dogs! I can work with all types of temperaments! I currently work from 8-1 but my hours are very flexible due to being able to remote work! I am available to in home pet sit on the weekends starting Friday until Sunday! I will be sure to keep your pet on their routine in the comfort of their own home. Take normal walking routes and be sure to clean up after them. I am a safe a reliable source. I have pet sat for multiple people and have had no problems.
About: PLEASE READ BEFORE REACHING OUT. I have been around dogs my whole life and always loved them. I am currently in-between jobs so your dog will get all his potty breaks and long or short walks. Hablo español! I think of dogs like family and will do everything under my power for their well-being. Please understand I have to do a meet and greet for everyone's safety. Even if it's only one day or one walk, I can only do a rushed request if there is time to do a meet and greet at least one day before. Please note that I have one dog and I will also attend to his needs, this will not take away so much attention from your dog but if your dog does not do well with other pets is best to skip me as a sitter. I take shifts when ever I am available to work (on my time), I will not take a shift if I know I have a doggie scheduled. I live in an ADU with my own fenced back yard, where my dog and yours can play and have potty breaks freely. I will keep a close eye to make sure your dog is safe at all times. I have an extra crate but I do not use it with my dog, if your dog feels more comfortable in it, please let me know so I can have it ready.
About: I have been a professional dog walker working for other people's businesses as well as my own for over 8 years. I am new to the area and just beginning my pet care journey here. I have plenty of other animal care experience like bottle feeding kittens and goats, raising quail and chickens, grooming rabbits, and training cows and horses. I especially love puppies and specialize in dog to dog socialization. I prioritize emotional regulation and satisfying dog's intrinsic needs so they can be happy, healthy family members. I am a full time animal caretaker and trainer. This is what I have spent my whole life mastering and I continue to learn from the animals how to best care for them. I have a fenced yard and many comfy spaces for your pet to rest. There are also private spaces available for more anxious animals who need their personal space. My dog is also well socialized for those who need a doggy companion to feel safe.
About: I’ve kind of built my routine around pet care at this point. I’m very intentional about keeping things consistent: feedings, walks, meds, all of it because I know how much that matters to them. And I make time for the in-between moments too like just hanging out so they feel comfortable and not like I’m just passing through. I’ve kind of built my routine around pet care at this point. I’m very intentional about keeping things consistent: feedings, walks, meds, all of it because I know how much that matters to them. And I make time for the in between moments too like just hanging out so they feel comfortable and not like I’m just passing through. I focus a lot on creating a calm, secure environment where pets feel safe and can relax. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and follow all instructions closely to keep things consistent and low stress. In my home, I make sure the space is clean, pet safe, and set up so each pet has room to settle in comfortably. I’m very mindful of things like secure doors, safe interactions, and keeping a close eye on behavior to prevent any issues before they happen. Building trust is a big part of my approach, both with pets and their owners, so I prioritize clear communication and dependable care throughout the stay.

“Our Shepherd/Husky loved staying with Allora and her family. He loved being able to play with their dog Boba, chasing each other around in their large outdoor backyard. Allora was very attentive and sent pictures every day, keeping us up to date with all the activities they were up to, which included walks every day, and being involved in family activities. I will definitely choose to leave him with Allora in the future too.”
“Jeanette is incredibly caring and easily adapted to the requirements of my special needs dog. Communicates well, and as a first time boarder, took the time to answer my questions and put me at ease. Choose Jeanette if you want your dog to be loved and looked after just as you would. Thank you!!”
“I can't find the words to express how grateful I am for the loving, attentive care you provided to my senior fur baby, Izzy. Thank you for the daily updates and photos that gave me complete peace of mind while we were away. Izzy clearly enjoyed her stay, and I knew she was in the best hands. Gayane, you are truly amazing. I'm forever thankful to have found you, and am hopeful this is just the beginning of many wonderful stays to come.”
“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: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities for 15 years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, play with, and care for their pets while away. I’m patient, attentive, active, and genuinely love animals. I understand the importance of making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I love taking dogs on hikes and to the beach as well. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week and on weekends. I enjoy staying active, spending time outdoors, and making sure pets get the care, attention, exercise, and companionship they need to feel happy and comfortable. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving, and attentive environment and always follow the owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding, routines, medications, walks, and special care needs. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior and body language to ensure they feel safe, secure, and well cared for at all times.
“Had an absolutely amazing experience having Amanda and Michell watch our Lucy. We’d never left a pet with strangers before, and they couldn’t have made the process more comfortable. Amanda sent daily photos and a brief note on what they did that day. Lucy got to go on many long walks and hikes, and really became part of their family. At the end of her stay, we received a report card on Lucy’s behavior, which was the cutest thing ever. Without hesitation, I’d use Amanda and Michell again, and highly recommend them to anyone needing a pet sitter.”
“Christian, Deirdra and their 2 girls are absolutely wonderful. They were so good with my baby and always accommodating when possible for last minute boards. I love all the updates and pictures. Anytime I need and they have an opening this would be my goto dog sitter. You won't go wrong leaving your precious pups with the family as they will be well cared for and loved.”
“I am so grateful to have found Ikeena here. My dog has anxiety and Ikeena immediately put him at ease and took great care of him. She asked thoughtful/caring questions since my dog has some special needs. She took my dog on hikes/walks in the park and took excellent care of him. She sent videos and photos too.”
“Cat is wonderful. After her second stay I wasn't sure Molly, our dog, even wanted to come home with us. Cat really puts effort into treating your dog as one of her own. Great photo updates as well. She has become our goto sitter.”
“So happy with how Chris took care of my dog Flaco. Chris and his family treated my dog like their own and made him feel right at home. Usually our dog takes a while to get use to his rover sitter, but with Chris, my dog felt instantly loved. Highly recommend as your first option as a sitter.”
“Jennifer was great. She is a very caring person and took care of my dog like her own. Her environment provided lots of activity and socialization for my very energetic dog. She sent lots of pictures and let me know how my dog was doing.”
“Ross was phenomenal! He sent me pictures and updates every few hours over the several days that my dog was with him. I could see how happy my dog was with Ross, and they had lots of fun time together. I am definitely going with Ross in the future for my dog boarding needs!”
“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.”
About: I have over 10 years of pet boarding experience. In my home are 2 cats, 1 pug and 1 turtle. My babies love when we have guests and truly enjoy the company as much as I do. I work great hours and not too long which leaves me with plenty of play time and 2 long walks a day. I spend most of my time at home which gives us plenty of quality time to hangout. There is a large patio on the second floor for sunbathing during the day while looking at a great view of the water. As well as 2 cats, 1 pug and a turtle who love company and everyone is free to roam the whole house but they do have their own fur baby room for space if they like.
“We had a fantastic experience with Stefanie caring for our two dogs. Stefanie cared for our Labradoodle and Dachshund. Our Labradoodle can become quite anxious with conventional kennel boarding which prevents him from getting rest. Stefanie provided a safe, calm, and relaxing environment which allowed our Labradoodle to feel at home. Stefanie did a great job of keeping us updated with photos while we were away which provided peace of mind. We had a terrific experience!”
“Maria and Kevan are wonderful!! They made our dog feel at home and I love all the photo updates I get from them. They’re very sweet and kind and I would definitely recommend them to any pup.”
