“Lori is my favorite sitter! She is thoughtful, trustworthy, and overall takes great care of my dogs. She was also communicative about my dogs behavior while they were with her, and she was very patient with one of my dogs misbehaving a little. I can rest easy whenever my dogs are with her!”
“I highly recommend Jessica! She was amazing from the start. She was quick to respond to my late minute request. I was worried about leaving him alone without his little buddy ( our other dog) but I could tell Jessica made him feel loved and comfortable. I could also tell he enjoyed his stay with her. She sent lot of photos reassuring me that he was in good hands. We will definitely be using Jessica again in the future. Thank you for taking good care of our fur baby for us.!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely the Best Sitter for My Senior Dog I couldn’t have found anyone better to care for my senior dog, Camilo. From the very first moment, she made him feel safe and earned his trust instantly. She went above and beyond my expectations in every possible way, knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly kind. Her communication was excellent throughout the entire stay. She kept me updated with messages, photos, and details that gave me complete peace of mind. Most importantly, she really made the effort to make Camilo feel at home, comfortable, and loved. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares and treats your pet like family, look no further. I’m truly grateful for her care and can’t recommend her enough.”

“Kaitlin & Verle took amazing care of our dog Punky. She clearly loves it there, and they are very attentive, caring, and communicative--can't recommend highly enough!”
“We left our much-loved standard poodle, Murray with Melanie for a week that ended yesterday. She took excellent care of Murray and provided a few photos during his stay. We could see in the photos he was healthy and happy. I wouldn't hesitate to leave my dog in her care. She has a very sweet dog who accepted Murray right into the mix and they got along well. She walked Murray daily and followed my instructions for feed and care. We were very pleased with everything she did. I highly recommend Melanie.”
“Diego was Absolutely amazing! He watched my dog for two days and did such a great job. He was responsible, attentive, and took wonderful care of my pup. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands while I was away. For being so young, I was incredibly impressed with how dependable and caring he was. My dog was happy and well taken care of when I got home. I would absolutely trust him to watch my dog again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter! 🐾❤️”
“Damariz is amazing! A true dog lover. My dog had a fantastic stay with her. I felt my dog was safe the entire time and was able to take a vacation without any worries. Was able to get photo updates from her and Philipp was taken care of the entire time.”
“This was Willow’s second time staying with Araceli, and when I picked her up, she didn’t want to come home! Araceli is the best, her manner with pups and her joyfulness with being a sitter is what makes me effortlessly comfortable to leave my Willow with her. Willow loves her “Tia” and she’ll be back!”
“Monique (and her family) watched my senior kitty with chronic kidney disease. I was very concerned about him using the bathroom and being comfortable since it’s the first time I boarded him anywhere. She was incredibly helpful and did a meet & greet with us to see how he would do. We discussed the best set-up for him ahead of time and she really put my worries at ease. She sent me plenty of updates about his situation and pictures of him. He warmed up to them way quicker than I thought he would! He was incredibly comfortable with them after about a day. They really treated him like he was a part of the family!”
“Clara is a kind and accommodating cat sitter. She sent pictures of Kal interacting with her dog that makes Kal peacefully, ,comfortable and happy finding companion with her dog. Kal cried when my son picked him up,.. Kal wants to stay with his new friend dog. Thank you Ms Clara will see you again.”
About: I’ve loved dogs ever since I was young. Ever since I was a teenager I enjoyed walking my family, friends, and neighbors’ dogs. I have experience with dogs of all ages and many different breeds I am available to walk, board, or visit your dog all days of the week. I prefer to be notified at least a day in advance so I can properly schedule and prepare to care for your dog. I have a large backyard with clear space for the dogs to around and play. There is open space in the living room for dogs to relax, with room for dog beds or anything else they arrive with. This space is gated off from the rest of the house for safety. There’s enough room to separate the dogs from one another if they need space.
“My dog is very shy and can get aggressive around other dogs because of her fear. She really enjoyed her stay at Cerita's house. She appeared to very comfortable there even with the other dogs. Cerita and her children were very welcoming.”
“Melinda is so kind and welcoming and our dog Doug felt right at home! She is responsive and very knowledgeable with pets. We highly recommend Melinda and will work with her again.”
“Pilar is amazing, so sweet and kind! She did a great job with my older girl, Nala. They went on daily walks and she roamed out in the back yard. Pilar is super attentive and just a great person to care for your pup. Don’t hesitate to book, I’m very grateful I didn’t 😊”

“Belinda watched my cat, Bella, for about 3 weeks and she did fantastic! Bella warmed up to her right away. Belinda was great about sending photos and making sure Bella’s food, water, and litter were taken care of. It made me feel much better knowing that there was such a caring person looking after my girl. I’d be happy to book her again.”

“Cynthia was amazing with our babies as usual! She went above and beyond to take care of them while we were on vacation, and I truly appreciate it so much. Thank you so much, Cynthia!”
About: Although I have no official skills and training...yet, but I grew up caring for animals. For 18 years I lived on a small farm in Michigan where we raised chickens, rabbits, goats, alpacas, dogs, and cats. These animals were my beloved pets and would get shown at the county fair every summer. Since moving away I have accumulated three cats of my own. As I continue to figure things out and gain experience I can promise that all pets under my care will be well cared for, loved, and that all owners will receive top notch communication. I have just separated from the Navy and am unable to get another job due to some traveling I have planned over the next couple months. I am free all day pretty much any day! I do not offer sitting or boarding in my home due to my cats not appreciating outsiders, but I am more than happy to go to your house and do whatever is needed!
“Lynne is very reliable and super helpful after seeing how she cared for my two cats! Super grateful to have been able to have her help on such short notice. I highly recommend her services!”
“Danielle was the perfect sitter for my boy Max. Sending pictures and updates really had my mind at ease that he was being taken care of and shown plenty of love. Couldn't have had a better experience.”
“My first time hiring a rover for my kitty and Elizabeth went above and beyond to make sure my cat Dixie was comfortable and safe. Dixie had an upset stomach over the weekend and Elizabeth even stayed extra time to make sure everything was okay when she threw up. Will definitely be booking with Elizabeth again! :)”
“Tijera was excellent. She followed all instructions with no problems. She gave prompt thorough reports with pictures. My cat generally does not like strangers, but she seemed to like Tijera. I would definitely use her again.”
“Linda was absolutely great, professional, and responsive. This was my first time boarding and she made it easy and comfortable. She sent pictures and updates and Twix had a great time. He misses you! Thanks for everything.”
“Very wonderful and Kristin constantly communicates what is going on with your pet as it is happening! She responded almost instantly to the request and has been wonderful in taking care of our cat! I highly recommend!”

About: Cats have always held a special place in my heart and are by far my favorite animal. I currently have three cats of my own and have cared for cats throughout my life. My oldest cat lived to be 16 years old, giving me experience with both playful kittens and senior cats. I understand that every cat has a unique personality and comfort level, and I enjoy getting to know each one on their terms. Whether your cat loves playtime, cuddles, or simply having a calm and reliable caregiver, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐱💕

About: I take dogs to the park twice a day so they can get exercise, have fun outside, and socialize with other pups. I specialize in small to medium-sized dogs. I’ll send you regular photo updates so you can see how your pet’s doing. I’m home most of the time, so your dog will have lots of company and won’t be left alone.

No matter where I’m caring for your pet—my home or yours—I make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and relaxed. I keep things clean, stick to their routine, and give them plenty of love and attention. You’ll also get updates and cute photos so you know they’re doing great!
About: I have a genuine passion and love caring for dogs. Dog mom. I regularly dog-sit for neighbors and friends.

“Our small puppy felt right at home here, and Maria was very accommodating. Highly recommend her especially if you have smaller dogs. Her dog seemed very friendly and welcoming to our pup. Thank you for working and communicating with us during his stay!”
About: I've always had a dog in the house since I was born, but I also have vast experience taking care of the pets of immediate family, as well as a lot of my extended family. I've taken care of dogs, cats, reptiles, amphibians, and fish for as long as I can remember. Currently, I'm studying wildlife and animal care at school and have experience with internships where I handle animals. I'm currently working part time, but only around 4-8 hours a week, so I have lots of time to take care of pets. I'm at home for the majority of the day, and I often take long walks during the day that I would love to bring dogs on. I also have a car and everything in my life is in close proximity to my house, so if I'm ever not at home I can come right back very soon. I have a fenced yard and several parks nearby my house that I can take dogs to. I have no dogs in the house but I'm happy to board many if necessary. I can crate dogs if necessary but I don't have to, they're allowed to have free reign of the house if the owner is okay with it. Dogs are allowed on the furniture but again if an owner requests they not do that then that's great too!
“Our 4 fur babies enjoyed staying with Stacy. They came home tired and happy from a busy day. Stacy loves animals and is a great sitter. We would use her services again.”
“I recommend Lori as a trustworthy and caring dog sitter! My dog is strong and energetic, and Lori knew how to manage him, and was very kind and patient. She gave him lots of needed attention and kept me updated. I appreciate Lori so much for making me feel at ease knowing he was in good hands!”
About: As a Navy veteran and former corpsman, my entire job was focused on taking care of people. I bring that same level of care, reliability, and attention to detail to looking after your pups. I’m also a proud dog dad to three rescues of my own—including one who needs special medical attention every single day. Because of that, I’m completely comfortable with unique routines, medications, and giving them extra tender loving care. I'm currently a student, my schedule is super flexible. Whether you need daily walks, quick drop-in visits, or overnight boarding, I’m here to help and can easily adjust to whatever routine works best for you and your dog. I always want to make your dog or cat feel safe and at home while you’re away. To accomplish this I make your dog part of my family for however long we are together. I allow the dogs space and time to get use to the environment which helps build trust. I’m with your pet the whole day if necessary.
“My dog was happy to be staying with Enrique . He was amazing taking care of chucky for me . Will be coming back to him . Very good at communicating . 5/5 * thanks ! :)”
About: I've been caring for fur babies since I was 10 — first informally for friends and family, and over the years my friends have come to rely on me every time they travel, trusting me with the pets they love most. That's the same care I bring to every dog I sit for: walking, boarding, sitting, and drop-in visits, all handled with genuine love and attentiveness. I'm comfortable with dogs of all temperaments and energy levels, and I treat every pup like they're my own. Your dog won't just be looked after, they'll be adored. I was laid off last year, and since then I've been dog sitting in my neighborhood in NYC. Now that I've relocated to San Diego, I'm looking to bring my services here. I'm home all day, every day, so I have plenty of time and attention to give — especially for dogs who need extra activity and frequent walks. My apartment complex also has a gated dog park, which is a great space for exercise and playtime. Pet care isn't squeezed into my week, it's a core part of it. Every dog in my care is treated like family. I'm home all day, so pets get consistent attention rather than being left alone for long stretches. They'll have plenty of walks, playtime, and one-on-one time throughout the day. I pay close attention to each dog's individual needs and routine, whether that's feeding schedules, medication, or just knowing when they need extra calm or extra activity. My goal is always for pets to feel comfortable, safe, and genuinely loved while their owners are away.
“Absolutely wonderful people and the best communication I’ve had in all my years using Rover! I felt very comfortable leaving my babies with Jermere & Janetta; will definitely be booking again if my girls behaved themselves 😂❤️”
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and I feel deeply connected to them. I’m naturally intuitive to their needs and believe that every animal deserves patience, kindness, and a safe place to feel loved. I’ve had pets since I was very young, and nearly all of them have been strays, rescues, or animals that nobody else wanted. I come from a family with a soft heart for animals that are struggling, so caring for them has always been a part of who I am. My journey with animals has been long, meaningful, and full of unforgettable experiences. I’ve cared for playful puppies, gentle senior dogs and cats, very sick animals, and many who came with fear, trauma, and trust issues. I’ve learned that every pet has its own story, and with patience, consistency, and love, they can learn to feel safe and happy again. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, elderly, or needs a little extra understanding, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. My goal is to provide a calm, loving environment where they feel secure, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because I work remotely part-time and genuinely enjoy having furry companions by my side. My guests spend the day with me in my home office, enjoying plenty of attention, affection, and companionship. I have the flexibility to provide multiple walks, potty breaks, meals on their regular schedule, medication if needed, playtime, enrichment, and, of course, lots of hugs and belly rubs. Every pet is different, so I tailor my day to meet their individual needs and help them feel relaxed, loved, and at home. My furry guests get to hang out with me in my cozy home office while I work, so they're rarely alone and always have company throughout the day. I live in a cozy condo located in a safe, gated, dog-friendly community. While I don't have a backyard, I do have a secure balcony, and we're surrounded by beautiful walking trails and a large park just steps away. I tailor each pet's schedule to their individual needs. During the summer, we enjoy walks early in the morning before the heat sets in, a midday potty and stretch break, another walk in the late afternoon before sunset, and one final potty break before bedtime. Meals are served according to each pet's regular feeding schedule, and because I only work part-time, I have plenty of time for cuddles, playtime, enrichment, and one-on-one attention. My neighborhood is quiet, safe, and full of friendly people who love seeing our furry visitors out enjoying their walks. My goal is to provide a calm, loving environment where every pet feels safe, comfortable, and treated like family.
About: I’ve had my boy for 7 years now and have been around other breeds all my life. dogs really do hold a special place in this world. My dog means so much to me so I completely understand trying to find the best fit for a dog sitter. We love going on runs/walks Live right next to a dog park and have a big yard as well. The puppies will never be bored. Always can adjust to the puppies needs. Want our home to feel like home for these guys. Also very good with puppies and older dogs no age preference. We love them all. I’m currently in school, but in and out of the house all day. My schedule is open everyday the most a pup will be alone would be 2 hours. Other than that they will always be monitored. This is also a family affair so we can give you and your pup the best experience. I have a fenced yard, two older dogs that love to play and run around. If there are any issues we have enough space to separate but my dogs do really well adjusting to others
“Our fur babies were quite comfortable during their stay with Holger. They were accommodating to our schedule and sent us pictures and updates throughout the day. Our babies were treated like family and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone as we will definitely be using them again.”

About: I offer reliable, loving dog care with plenty of attention, playtime, and patience. I treat every dog like family and adapt to their energy level, routine, and personality so they feel safe and happy in my care. I carefully follow all owner instructions, including feeding, walks, medications, and special care needs. Whether your dog loves active play or just wants companionship and reassurance, I make sure they’re comfortable, well cared for, and given lots of affection while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I currently have a flexible schedule while working on building my own entrepreneurial business. That flexibility allows me to dedicate quality time to each pet and adapt to their routines, whether that means visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I’ve been pet sitting for years for family, friends, and acquaintances, and it’s always been one of my favorite side gigs because I genuinely enjoy caring for animals and getting to know their personalities. Since it’s something I’ve done and loved for a long time, I decided to start offering my services to more people in my local community. At this time, I’m only able to offer care in my client’s home, where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality and adapt to their individual needs. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and routines, and I always make sure fresh water is available. I also provide playtime, affection, and companionship based on what each pet is comfortable with, whether they want lots of cuddles or a little extra personal space. I pay close attention to their behavior and physical condition so I can quickly notice if something seems off, helping ensure they stay safe, healthy, and happy while you’re away.
“Dominique is professional, patient, friendly, and incredibly good at connecting with my Dogo Argentino, Juni, who is a fierce and strong dog. She took the time to build Juni’s confidence by playing with her while also giving her the time and space she needed to feel comfortable and open up. I truly appreciate the patience and care Dominique showed toward Juni. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their beloved pet. We are so grateful to have found her!”
About: I’ve been a dog owner for over 13 years and grew up with dogs my entire life! I’ve taken care over my family members dog when they’re out of town and each dog very different but i’m always able to gain their trust, be one of their companions and build a relationship that evolves into fun play dates and amazing walks to the park or around neighborhood. My dog who is a german shepherd, is now in her elderly stage meaning medication administration, short walks and feeding plays a huge part of her daily life. I have experience with all ages and personalities with pets and always have room to experience and meet all your loving pets! I’m currently transferring to SDSU at the end of August so my availability is limited for now for only pet walks but will change asap. I have a fenced yard with plenty of grass to run, relax and relief themselves with room to stretch their legs and sunbathe. I have a patio out their as well for them to lay on.

“Elizabeth was a rock star with my dog. She jumped in on short notice and was kind, responsible, and punctual. She took and sent photos through the app each time showing the walk and feeding after. She clearly had experience handling dogs coming in and I will gladly rely on her again in the future.”
About: My family has our own dog Wilbur (see profile pic) who I love to take on walks and runs! I also like to play with him! One of his favorite games is tug of war. I’m a college student on summer break, so my schedule is fairly open. I’m willing to work around your schedule so we can find the time that works best for you! I will make sure your dog is hydrated by offering water during walks. I also like to give Wilbur a treat at the end of our walks, and I’ll do the same for your dog if you like! When checking up on your dog, I will make sure they have enough food, water, and attention.
About: Welcome to my page! I have taken care of pets belonging to family members and neighbors, and it's always a very pleasant experience to love on the pets and see them excited and relaxed when I'm with them. Besides taking care of their basic needs, I'll make sure they get all the cuddles they deserve! 🐾 I'm currently a SAHM looking to have some income while enjoying loving on pets. I will use the time I have available while my daughter is in school and/or extra curricular activities. I would like to meet the pets (and the owners) for the first time before booking, to ensure it's a good fit for all, and there's trust between the humans and the fur babies.
“Danielle is wonderful! Our pup is always happy when she comes to play and take walks. I knew when I met Danielle that she would be the perfect caretaker for our sweet Atti. Danielle is the best!”
About: My family and I have had dogs since I was a kid. I’ve lived with up to 5 dogs at a time. Now, I am the proud momma of two cats, Zoe and Emma. You can describe me as the millennial whose sole purpose is to provide a full and fun life for my fur babies. At this time, I am a full time student and on my off days I hope to care for and go on walks with your fur babies. I plan my responsibilities ahead of time, so my calendar will be updated regularly to give you the most updated availability. I am always aware and present during my time with pets. I will prioritize their safety and well-being. I would love to have meet and greets where you tell me all about your specific concerns and we can talk about how I can help ease those concerns!

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and attention I give every dog as if they were my own. I understand that every pup has a unique personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a calm, relaxing day, I'm happy to match their pace. I'm patient with puppies as they learn new routines and gentle with senior dogs who may need extra care, slower walks, or medication reminders. I believe in keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages, so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away. My goal is simple: to provide reliable, compassionate, and worry-free care so your dog is happy, healthy, and excited to see me again. I work a hybrid schedule, and most of my work begins after 3:00 p.m. During the day, I occasionally visit clients for about two hours before returning home, which gives me flexibility to care for your pets. Although Rover is my second job, your furry family member will always be a top priority. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they receive the love, attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I'll always keep in mind that someone is counting on me to provide safe, reliable, and compassionate care, so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, my priority is to keep them safe, comfortable, and happy while maintaining their normal routine. I take the time to learn each pet's feeding schedule, exercise needs, favorite activities, and any special instructions you provide. I make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, playtime, fresh water, and regular potty breaks. If your pet enjoys walks, we'll spend time outside getting exercise and exploring safely. If they prefer relaxing and cuddling, I'm happy to provide a calm and comforting environment. I also believe communication is important, so I'll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout the day. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease, knowing your furry family member is being cared for as if they were my own.
About: I’ve been a dog walker and pet sitter for some friends and clients over the years, and I love dogs! But don’t have one of my own so I have decided to go pro! Hehe. I love walking and hiking if your dog needs exercise, plus I just enjoy giving snuggles and scratches. Happy to reinforce any training you’re doing with your pups- or just come over and play with them. I’m available for dog walks every day before 11:30 and cat/dog/etc sitting can be fit into my schedule as needed, am/pm since I am self employed. Im a massage therapist & work in mission valley, so it’s very central and I can block time as needed to go visit and care for your pets or walk your dogs. My 17 year old Bengalish-tabby is in/out cat- and I have a big fenced in yard. I feed my animals twice a day and give lots of verbal affirmation and physical affection, if they like cuddles we’re gonna be friends.
About: I have plenty of experience looking after pets of all sizes and breeds. I guarantee a safe and loving home for your pet. They will love it here! I’m home most of the time and can assure your pet will have a playful and enjoyable stay in my home. Look forward to meeting your fur baby! I guarantee your pet will be walked and played with as directed and most importantly given all the attention it deserves. Look forward to connecting.
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve owned cats and multiple dogs throughout my life and currently have two Boston Terriers of my own. I also help care for my sister’s senior dogs, who require specialized routines and ongoing medical attention, giving me hands-on experience with elderly pets and medication schedules. Whether it’s a leisurely walk for a senior dog or an energetic run, hike, or play session with a young pup, I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Caring for animals is my full-time focus, so I have a very flexible schedule and am available most days of the week. Whether your pet needs a midday walk, regular drop-in visits, overnight care in your home, or a last-minute check-in, I’m able to provide dependable care and plenty of attention. With help caring for my own pets at home, I can prioritize my clients and ensure your pets receive the love, exercise, and companionship they deserve while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own. My cats are incredibly spoiled and are a huge priority in my life—they have plenty of toys, scratching posts, cozy places to sleep, fresh water at all times, high-quality food, regular veterinary care, and grooming tailored to their individual needs. I even brush their teeth and make sure they receive plenty of attention, enrichment, and affection every day. When caring for a client’s pet, I bring that same level of dedication and attention to detail. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and preferences so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet needs playtime, exercise, cuddles, medication, or simply a consistent routine, I strive to provide the same level of care and commitment that I give my own animals every day.
“Carla came through for us when we really needed her. She was so accommodating and gave me the best feedback on the dogs activities. I was able to enjoy my day without any worry! My dogs are my world and it was so great to have Carla caring for them!”

“Lori is my favorite sitter! She is thoughtful, trustworthy, and overall takes great care of my dogs. She was also communicative about my dogs behavior while they were with her, and she was very patient with one of my dogs misbehaving a little. I can rest easy whenever my dogs are with her!”
“I highly recommend Jessica! She was amazing from the start. She was quick to respond to my late minute request. I was worried about leaving him alone without his little buddy ( our other dog) but I could tell Jessica made him feel loved and comfortable. I could also tell he enjoyed his stay with her. She sent lot of photos reassuring me that he was in good hands. We will definitely be using Jessica again in the future. Thank you for taking good care of our fur baby for us.!”
“Kaitlin & Verle took amazing care of our dog Punky. She clearly loves it there, and they are very attentive, caring, and communicative--can't recommend highly enough!”
“We left our much-loved standard poodle, Murray with Melanie for a week that ended yesterday. She took excellent care of Murray and provided a few photos during his stay. We could see in the photos he was healthy and happy. I wouldn't hesitate to leave my dog in her care. She has a very sweet dog who accepted Murray right into the mix and they got along well. She walked Murray daily and followed my instructions for feed and care. We were very pleased with everything she did. I highly recommend Melanie.”
“Diego was Absolutely amazing! He watched my dog for two days and did such a great job. He was responsible, attentive, and took wonderful care of my pup. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands while I was away. For being so young, I was incredibly impressed with how dependable and caring he was. My dog was happy and well taken care of when I got home. I would absolutely trust him to watch my dog again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter! 🐾❤️”
“Monique (and her family) watched my senior kitty with chronic kidney disease. I was very concerned about him using the bathroom and being comfortable since it’s the first time I boarded him anywhere. She was incredibly helpful and did a meet & greet with us to see how he would do. We discussed the best set-up for him ahead of time and she really put my worries at ease. She sent me plenty of updates about his situation and pictures of him. He warmed up to them way quicker than I thought he would! He was incredibly comfortable with them after about a day. They really treated him like he was a part of the family!”
About: I’ve loved dogs ever since I was young. Ever since I was a teenager I enjoyed walking my family, friends, and neighbors’ dogs. I have experience with dogs of all ages and many different breeds I am available to walk, board, or visit your dog all days of the week. I prefer to be notified at least a day in advance so I can properly schedule and prepare to care for your dog. I have a large backyard with clear space for the dogs to around and play. There is open space in the living room for dogs to relax, with room for dog beds or anything else they arrive with. This space is gated off from the rest of the house for safety. There’s enough room to separate the dogs from one another if they need space.
“My dog is very shy and can get aggressive around other dogs because of her fear. She really enjoyed her stay at Cerita's house. She appeared to very comfortable there even with the other dogs. Cerita and her children were very welcoming.”
“Overall, we had a good experience. They were able to accommodate our dog on very short notice, which we really appreciated. Erlinda was quick to respond, her daughter was easy to work with, and our dog was well taken care of. We’re grateful they were able to help us out last minute and would consider using them again.”
“Stacy is amazing. She took such good care of Migo and treated him as if he were her own while I was away. She is kind, professional, and a great communicator. I will definitely be using her in the future!”
“Jermere & Janetta were absolutely awesome to work with. My dogs had such a good time. From the beginning to end, their communication was stellar and very helpful especially for our senior dog. Thank you again J & J!”
“Natalee was an amazing sitter for our little guy Luffy! She is super sweet and kept great communication throughout his stay, making sure to share some adorable photos of their weekend adventures together :) Luffy seemed to have a great time and was even excited to see Natalee again upon dropping him off. We highly recommend Natalee to take care of your pups and look forward to having a safe space for Luffy to stay for future vacations!”
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and I feel deeply connected to them. I’m naturally intuitive to their needs and believe that every animal deserves patience, kindness, and a safe place to feel loved. I’ve had pets since I was very young, and nearly all of them have been strays, rescues, or animals that nobody else wanted. I come from a family with a soft heart for animals that are struggling, so caring for them has always been a part of who I am. My journey with animals has been long, meaningful, and full of unforgettable experiences. I’ve cared for playful puppies, gentle senior dogs and cats, very sick animals, and many who came with fear, trauma, and trust issues. I’ve learned that every pet has its own story, and with patience, consistency, and love, they can learn to feel safe and happy again. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, elderly, or needs a little extra understanding, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. My goal is to provide a calm, loving environment where they feel secure, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because I work remotely part-time and genuinely enjoy having furry companions by my side. My guests spend the day with me in my home office, enjoying plenty of attention, affection, and companionship. I have the flexibility to provide multiple walks, potty breaks, meals on their regular schedule, medication if needed, playtime, enrichment, and, of course, lots of hugs and belly rubs. Every pet is different, so I tailor my day to meet their individual needs and help them feel relaxed, loved, and at home. My furry guests get to hang out with me in my cozy home office while I work, so they're rarely alone and always have company throughout the day. I live in a cozy condo located in a safe, gated, dog-friendly community. While I don't have a backyard, I do have a secure balcony, and we're surrounded by beautiful walking trails and a large park just steps away. I tailor each pet's schedule to their individual needs. During the summer, we enjoy walks early in the morning before the heat sets in, a midday potty and stretch break, another walk in the late afternoon before sunset, and one final potty break before bedtime. Meals are served according to each pet's regular feeding schedule, and because I only work part-time, I have plenty of time for cuddles, playtime, enrichment, and one-on-one attention. My neighborhood is quiet, safe, and full of friendly people who love seeing our furry visitors out enjoying their walks. My goal is to provide a calm, loving environment where every pet feels safe, comfortable, and treated like family.
“Marygrace and Craig are really great! They are kind and send daily updates and it’s a huge plus that there are other pups for my little Roux to play with. She loves going to see them.”
About: As a Navy veteran and former corpsman, my entire job was focused on taking care of people. I bring that same level of care, reliability, and attention to detail to looking after your pups. I’m also a proud dog dad to three rescues of my own—including one who needs special medical attention every single day. Because of that, I’m completely comfortable with unique routines, medications, and giving them extra tender loving care. I'm currently a student, my schedule is super flexible. Whether you need daily walks, quick drop-in visits, or overnight boarding, I’m here to help and can easily adjust to whatever routine works best for you and your dog. I always want to make your dog or cat feel safe and at home while you’re away. To accomplish this I make your dog part of my family for however long we are together. I allow the dogs space and time to get use to the environment which helps build trust. I’m with your pet the whole day if necessary.
“Natasha was incredibly attentive to our 8 month old pup and communicated regular updates! I appreciated that she asked how frequently we wanted updates to help set expectations upfront. She made sure our pup was not just well taken care of but engaged and exercised regularly, plus she kept up with training which was a bonus. We even went through travel delays getting home and she was flexible to accommodate the extra time, it was great knowing our dog was taken care of and didn't add to the stress of travel. We would absolutely use Natasha again.”
“Trent and his wife were the best caretakers of my little Benny. They took him for plenty of walks, played with him, and overall made him feel comfortable while in their care. I highly recommend them!”
