“Barsha was so great with our little guy. She’s very intentional with her care and kept us posted on our French bulldog’s progress. Our little guy came home so happy and we will definitely use Barsha’s services again. Book her!”
“Sofia and Jonathan are the nicest family. We were gone for a long time on an international trip to visit family in France. And it was a relief to know that our dog and bunny were well taken care of. They spent 17 days with them and we got plenty of updates and photos. Would use them again and recommend them to anyone.”
“Natalie was amazing. She took such great care of my dog and kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that my dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. I really appreciate how reliable, kind, and attentive she was. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pet. Thank you so much! 🐾🩵”
“Excellent experience! Our dog had a great time while he was there, and he was very well cared for. We also received many lovely photos that helped us miss him just a bit less 😉. We Highly recommend Brayden and Noel!”
“Kamila was THE best puppy mama to Kaen during our weeklong vacation! She made his first time away easy, comfortable, and calming for him. Kamila was extremely responsive to Kaen’s needs and would update me daily on his activities with her. I especially appreciated how intentional, loving, and dedicated Kamila was with Kaen while under her care - he was by her side all day/night long!! I will definitely hire Kamila again in the near future - she is simply a GEM!”
“Stefanile is a great sitter. She was incredibly accommodating and patient in dealing with my dog—a rather shy, introverted, and somewhat challenging dog. Given her deep understanding of canine personalities and traits, as well as her extensive experience as a sitter, I was able to entrust Chaco to her care with peace of mind. She sent updates and photos, making communication very easy. Thank you!”
“Absolutely awesome job watching Linguini! Pictures and updates were fantastic, I could tell he was having a good time and he was well taken care of! He currently has allergies and she made sure he got his special food and allergy meds! Will definitely use for next time!”
“Jess was responsive and commucative throughout. She did a great job taking care of my pup - he came back very tired, like he just spent a week at camp. Thank you for taking him to the dog park and the many photos and videos - really appreciate it. 10/10, would absolutely recommend.”
“Styles loves his time at Peter's house.. So much play time. The back yard is doggy paradise. Peter went out of his way to pamper my dog and even supplemented his food when I underestimated. Five Stars!”
“This is Loveleen's second time with Casey and I have no worries at all whenever Loveleen is under Casey's care for doggy day care. I highly recommend Casey's services as he is very communicative and is flexible on drop off and pick up timing. This will not be Loveleen's last time with Casey!”
“Eun took great care of our dog while we were out of town. I knew he had a good time because there were no complaints on the car ride home. He just came back very calm ☺️ Eun also sent me pictures and updates during his stay, so nice because we really miss him when we’re away. Highly recommend Eun!”
“This was our first time using Rover, so we were nervous. But it was a great experience! Daisy spent four nights at Ruth’s house and, as the only dog, got lots of TLC! Thank you, Ruth, for keeping us posted and for the great pics - and for loving Daisy while we were away! She’ll be back, for sure!”
“Ciao was amazing! He sent videos and updates on banksy. Looks like banksy was having a wonderful time. I will definitely be using ciao again and always! Your dog is in great hands with him. Very happy with ciao!”
“Chris took good care of Mia, who seemed very comfortable with the stay. We appreciated the daily updates as well as Chris' friendliness and positivity. Would not hesitate to have Mia stay again.”
“Joseph and Marikris came through on a last-minute reservation and provided exceptional levels of care for my special needs dog. My dog Daisy had been recently diagnosed with IVDD and I was prepared to cancel my trip, but Marikris assured me of her professional veterinary background and familiarity with the condition, and I felt confident trusting J&M with her care. Daisy looked so happy in all the photos they shared, and I feel truly blessed to have found such kind and attentive neighbors to care for my girl. Thank you so much Joseph & Marikris, you guys are amazing and I look forward to working together again 🙌”
“Lyra has stayed with Ulunma multiple times and we feel secure knowing she is in good hands each time. Ulunma pays attention to Lyra’s basic needs as well as any changes in her day to day habits. She’s communicative and is great about sharing pictures while we’re away. Lyra will be back for more stays!”
“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.”
“Thank you, Max, Virginie and Louise for taking such good care of our beloved, Rosa. While only for an overnight, we could quickly see that she adjusted well. We'll be in touch again with plans for another visit! Thank you!”

“Elena was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of our cat, Luka, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We really appreciated how thoughtful she was about checking in and keeping us updated. I loved receiving the daily photos she captured and her updates always made me smile. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Luka's well-being and made sure he was happy, comfortable, and well looked after. We highly recommend Elana to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter and look forward to rebooking with her in the future! Thank you, Elena!”
About: I have been around cats my entire life and grew up caring for multiple family cats. My family currently has several cats, so I am very familiar with feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and recognizing when a cat needs space or extra attention. I understand that every cat has a unique personality and I am committed to providing patient, loving, and reliable care while owners are away. I will treat your cat as if they were my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.
“Taylor took really great care of my cats while I was traveling. She demonstrated genuine respect, care, and responsibility, communicated well, was flexible when needed, and followed all instructions perfectly. We look forward to hiring her again in a few weeks!”
“Sumaira took such good care of my cat, tortoise, and chicken. She sent great pictures and they all looked happy. Appreciated her attention to detail and letting me know a light had burned out. Timely daily feeding and visits! Will definitely ask Sumaira to take care of my zoo again!”
“Stephanie was fantastic! We booked last minute and she fit us in. She took wonderful care of our cat - coaxed her out of hiding and made her comfortable. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Samantha took such great care of our two kitties while we were gone for 4ish days on vacation! Between the check-in updates and the multiple photos, we didn't have to worry one bit about how they were doing. Even our super shy boy, Jynx, who some people think is only a myth due to never seeing him for years, came out on Samantha's first visit and made an appearance each time. The next time we need a sitter again, Samantha will be our first choice.”
“Kamila took very good care of our cats. She is very responsive in providing updates via Rover and text so we can have peace of mind during our long trip. My wife has always wanted to find a sitter who loves cats and we are glad we found Kamila.”
“Xiaomin did a fantastic job caring for our two cats while we were away. She was responsive, send photos, and took care of all required tasks. Our cats seemed super happy when we returned home. 10/10!”
“Rachael was punctual, great with communication, and took cute photos of our boys. She seems to have a lot of experience and wasn't intimidated by our younger dog that can be a handful. We look forward to having her come again!”
About: I have experience caring for cats of various ages and personalities, including senior cats and cats requiring oral medications or additional monitoring. I understand that many cats are most comfortable when their routines remain consistent and their environment stays familiar. Whether I'm providing drop-in visits or overnight care in your home, my focus is on helping your cat feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. Care may include feeding, fresh water, litter box maintenance, medication administration when needed, playtime, companionship, and monitoring overall well-being. As a retired officer, responsibility, trustworthiness, and attention to detail have always been important to me, and I bring those same qualities to every pet I care for. I also hold a Cat & Dog First Aid certification. Some cats enjoy interactive play and social attention, while others prefer a quieter approach and companionship on their own terms. I take the time to learn each cat's personality and preferences so I can provide care tailored to their individual needs. My goal is simple: to provide reliable, attentive care while helping your cat feel comfortable, secure, and relaxed in your absence.
“I can't say enough good things about Asuka! She took care of my two kittens during a drop-in visit and followed their very detailed and admittedly long feeding instructions to the letter. Communication was excellent throughout, and she even managed to get my shy kitten to come out of his shell, a rare feat. Having had some very difficult experiences with sitters in the past, including one that ended in a heartbreaking loss, it's not easy for me to trust anyone with my pets. While she didn’t know this, her professionalism, calm demeanor, and attention to detail went a long way in reassuring me. She was punctual, respectful of my home, and even took the time to clean their dishes after the visit. Truly grateful to have found someone so reliable and kind. Highly recommend!”
“Tatiana was great with my two kitties! She was really attentive to them and even got our shy boy to warm up to her. I loved getting all the videos/pictures and updates and it was a relief to know they were in such good care!”
About: Hi! I’m Efraim, a lifelong dog lover based in Walnut Creek. I’ve cared for everything from tiny Papillons, Maltese and Shih Tzus to large breeds like German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, Swiss Shepherds and Golden Retrievers. I’m equally comfortable with puppies, seniors, and dogs with special needs or behavioral challenges. I live locally and prioritize clients close to home for reliable service and minimal travel time. I offer walks, drop-ins, multi-dog walks, overnight house-sitting, and transport services — as an experienced professional driver, I can safely transport pets (or owners and pets together) to vet appointments, groomers, or airports. What I Offer: • Dependable walks and drop-ins 7 days a week • Multi-dog or single-dog walks for any size breed • Overnight stays / house-sitting with respect for your home and routine • Pet transport (airport runs, vet visits, errands) • Clear updates with photos and Rover cards • Special focus on busy professionals and seniors needing regular help Why Choose Me: • Local to Walnut Creek so can quick, reliable response in the area • Experienced across all sizes and ages of dogs • Professional driver — safe transport available • Certified in Pet First Aid & CPR (basic) with advanced training underway • Deep family roots in the area and strong personal references I would be happy to meet you and your pet for a free Meet & Greet to discuss your needs and discuss a schedule that keeps your dog healthy and happy. Availability: 7 days a week (morning through early evening) Service Area: Walnut Creek and nearby neighborhoods Intro Pricing: Half-hour Walks $20–22 · Extended Walks $30–35 · Drop-Ins $15–18 · Overnights $65–85 Contact me through Rover to schedule your Meet & Greet today! I have just joined Rover and am taking on new clients from 5:00am to 7:00pm, and I am generally available 7 days a week. I welcome clients with a regular repeating schedule, short notice requests, and periodic "substitute pet care" needs when your regular walker or sitter is unavailable. Safety is always my number one concern. Let's review all of your pet's special needs and requirements together and develop a plan that works best for them and for you. I have many strong local personal references I can provide. For walks, I invite you to track my location (through my mobile phone) so you know where your pet is at all times. If you are looking for a pet-sitter at your home, my references will assure you that I will treat your home with care and respect — and your pets with loving attention. For overnight sits, I bring my own inflatable mattress and linens so yours remain untouched.
About: While most of my experience is with dogs, I'm excited to get into the cat business as well by offering cat visits during your vacation. What sets me apart is the thoughtful, personalized care I provide at every stage of a pet’s life. I cared for my own dog, Charlotte, for 10 years—from puppyhood through her senior years. After every visit, owners receive photos and a written update, so they can feel confident their pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: We have a busy, loving home with 3 kids, one cat, & two dogs. If your dog loves to be with a busy family, we're the right place for you. I have many years of pet care experience including veterinary care and dog training experience (specifically, I've trained my own dogs through the Petsmart dog training program and passed the Canine Good Citizen test). I'm very comfortable around all types of dogs and animals. I've always treated my pets as part of our family and would always treat any animal in my care with the same devotion. We have three kids (ages 14-16) and they are all used to animals and they are very caring and love to play with all the dogs when they come home from school. The cats can easily avoid the dogs if they want to as they have their own outdoor catio and room. We keep our air conditioner on for our dog already during hot days so any dogs with thick fur will feel very comfortable. There's no carpet in our house so potty issues are easier to manage as well. I work from home, so other than errands or short outings the dogs have someone home with them nearly all the time. We have a gated kitchen so dogs can be separated if needed. We have a large fenced yard with a covered patio and when it’s too hot to be outside, the dogs are in the air conditioned house with us.

“Highly recommend Nicole. She was super flexible and accommodating with drop off and pick up. Spartacus would perk right up when he saw her - I could see he was in good hands. Loved the pictures and updates too!”
“Excellent stay! Easy to communicate with and so grateful that they had availability last minute when my baby Moo needed a safe place while my fire alarms were worked on. Thank you! Will use again!”
“We were worried about leaving our new puppy for the first time, but Alisha set up a Zoom so we could meet her the day before and it was immediately obvious that she would take great care of our little guy. Then, when we dropped him off, he practically jumped into her arms and made himself at home in the space she has set up which is perfect for doggy guests. She sent us updates and pics throughout the evening. We are very glad to have Alisha nearby for the future. I especially appreciate her depth of knowledge -- she is a great resource for those of us who have limited experience with raising puppies!”
About: I’m a responsible and caring pet lover who truly enjoys spending time with animals. My home is a safe, loving environment where pets receive plenty of attention and care. My partner and I work together to make sure every dog gets the exercise, playtime, and affection they need, so your pet will always have company and lots of love while they’re with us. I am a stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide reliable and attentive care throughout the day. I spend most of my time at home or running local errands, so I can easily fit pet visits, walks, feeding, and playtime into my routine. My partner also has a flexible schedule and is happy to help when needed, allowing us to provide consistent care and attention for your pets. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will follow your instructions carefully regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and routines to help your pet feel secure and comfortable. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, and I will provide patient, loving care while keeping you updated with photos and messages. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to create a safe, stress-free experience.
“Monica went above and beyond to give Angel a wonderful stay. She has a lovely home and she sent me videos to reassure me of Angel's well being. Angel returned home in a relaxed and happy state.”
“I reached out to Mia last minute as our regular sitter fell threw. She quickly responded to my request and was great with our maltipoo pups. They were calm and happy after we picked them up. Thank you, Mia!”
“Namrata, took care of my Kona. Kona is usually with me and very attached and takes a moment to warm up. Namrata kept me updated and sent me pictures. She was also flexible and kind. I will definitely be bringing Kona back.”
“Stacy was fantastic. I felt confident leaving my dog with her. She has years of experience. He made himself right at home sniffing everything and playing with the toys she had. He got a lot of attention and love from her. I enjoyed getting photos and a video of him while he stayed with her. 10/10 would recommend and planning to book for future doggy day care and overnights!”
“Great first trial with Jess. Our dog Meeko is a rescue and has abandonment anxiety but she did good for her first daycare trial. Thank you Jess for taking good care of her. We look forward to putting her in your trusting environment for our upcoming weekend trip.”
“Sant and his lovely peaceful Family has become a part of My Family after ONLY one and a half days' time at there magnificent place. I highly advise extreme caution for any future visitors (the ones blessed to receive a "booking confirmation" from Sant&Family)... Heightened awareness of: Motor vehicle rushings Senseless speediness Distracted driving Children hauling gear Overpopulated areas Robot activities ....& a few more. Thank you for being aware and respective of my familial families home. Please conduct business with awareness and respect. BE SAFE 🦋”
“Darren and his family welcomed us with warmth and kindness. We are nervous first time dog owners and were unsure how this new experience would go. Everything was clean and safe. Our pup immediately felt at home with Darren and his family. Darren was thoughtful, diligent, and practical when we talked about our dog's care needs. Our pup enjoyed walks, and got her regular meals and naps. When we picked her up, she was playing and happy. Her mood was great the rest of the night. We look forward to many more doggy daycare days with Darren and his family!”
About: Our home is a dogs vacation. Complete with best friend Buddy (dog 4), fenced backyard and creek/trail access. I will take great care and give much attention to your special friend.

“I had a wonderful experience with Jessica. This was my first time leaving my dog at a day care and Jessica quickly made me feel at ease and confident that my dog was going to be well taken care of. She responds very quickly to messages and provides great updates throughout the day. My dog came home happy and tired.”
About: LET ME SHOW YOU HOW I GET "FREE" FRESH WET FOOD, "FREE" TREATS, AND "FREE" PREVENTATIVE CARE ITEMS, ETC FROM CHEWY FOR MY PET. YOU TOO CAN GET THEM FOR "FREE"! I don't have any ratings at this time because I just signed up with Rover on August 22, 2026. Please kindly choose me and help me build the greatest 5 star rated service. Thank you so very much. I am a retired, stay at home, middle aged, single lady with a 12 year old neutered male Jack Russell Terrier angel of my own that I adopted 12 years ago, and I have been taking care of him all along. I have over 12 years experience caring for my own angel, and I have also provided full time care for many days to family and friends' pets in the past. Since childhood, I have been magnetically drawn to animals of all kinds. I have such profoundly deep love for animals that I mostly just live for them, in a manner such that I have donated hundreds of thousands of dollars for them, I make sacrifices in my personal life in such a manner such that I can increase my donations to animals, and I get greater joy by sacrificing for animals than by treating myself. With my pet care services, I hope to increase my donations to animals and provide companionship of his own kind to my own angel. In me, your pet will have a person caring for him/her that feels true love for him/her in the bottom of her heart. I own a spacious home with a spacious fenced yard, where I live alone with my angel. My neighborhood is tucked away and is extremely safe. I am eager to meet your angel baby, please give him/her my love, tell him/her that we are BFFs, and that we are going to have the greatest times together. We will celebrate life to the fullest together! I am retired, and I stay at home full time. I am available for pet care 24/7/365. No time or day restriction. Humbly at your, and your pet's service all the time. I own a spacious home with a fenced yard. I will personally escort your pet to the backyard for their personal private activities and to play. I also have a very gentle 20 pound neutered dog, who is extremely well behaved around other dogs. He doesn't bark at other dogs, he just wants to play, and he is never aggressive. Your pet will have company of his/her own kind. In my home, your pet will be free to jump on the couches and the bed. With your approval, he/she may sleep with me in my bed, just like my dog does. If you prefer another arrangement, please specify it, and it will be satisfied. Periodically, I will take pictures and videos and share with you so that you can see how pampered your pet is in my care. I may read bedtime stories before falling asleep, give gentle pampering massages, etc, with your approval off course. If I am pet sitting in your home, your instructions and preferences will be followed and satisfied. I am highly accommodating.

“Emily was on time, and asked thoughtful questions around how Ronnie walks, potty breaks, harness, snacks, and what I recommend when it the temperature is too hot for a typical walk. I could tell she has dogs and takes good care of them. Ronnie came back so happy and gave her a ton of kisses showing that he trusted her on the walk! Already booked follow up walks!”
“Rebecca was great! We have no issues and our dog Molly loved her. We will be reaching out to her in the future for our doggy needs! I would definitely recommend Rebecca to friends.”

About: I have had dogs since I can remember and raised a puppy when I was a teenager. I house sit and watch my family and friends dogs often. I have a cat of my own and love her to pieces. I've administered insulin shots to my parents elderly dog and have even taken him to vet visits. I love all animals no matter what shape or size or species. I know leaving your family member in the hands of a stranger can be stressful and I try to make that experience as stress free as possible. I am overly communicative and extremely cautious with your animals! Lots of pics and updates included! I would love to help you with yours! I am currently very flexible and would love to gain long term clients with regularly scheduled daily walks and then move to overnight visits once trust is established and I get to know your animal more! I would not be able to take any pets into my own home. I am happy to walk even your run pups or do mid day check ins for cats or more!
“Mia did a great job walking our energetic boy Luka and always made sure he had water after their walks. He was always excited to see her. Mia left plenty of info on the report card and would send separate messages with more detail of Lukas walk which was always very helpful. Communication was always great and we would definitely book again in the future.”
“Olivia was an excellent dog walker. She was on time and communicated with me regularly. My dogs loved her and I could tell they enjoyed the attention she gave them by how happy they were when I got home. She took great pics of them too!”

About: I'm a retired officer, background-checked through Rover, and have more than 10 years of experience caring for my own dogs as well as friends', family members', and clients' pets. Throughout my career and personal life, responsibility, trustworthiness, and attention to detail have always been important to me, and I bring those same qualities to every pet I care for. In 2016, I adopted Barney the Shih Tzu, followed by Jack in 2019. Both were estimated to be about four years old at the time. In 2025, Jack passed away from bone cancer, giving me firsthand experience caring for a senior dog with significant medical needs. In 2022, I rescued Penny, the white pup in my profile photo. Certifications & Experience • Cat & Dog First Aid (American Red Cross) • Experience administering oral medications • Experience caring for senior pets and pets with special needs • Experience caring for dogs and cats of various ages, sizes, and temperaments, including a large Rottweiler I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, consistency, and individualized care. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, senior and slower-paced, or simply happiest sticking to a familiar routine, my goal is to provide dependable care while helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, and I'm home much of the time. This allows me to provide regular companionship, potty breaks, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. Because I intentionally limit the number of pets I care for at one time, I am able to provide a more personalized level of attention and maintain a calmer environment for the pets in my care. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. Consistency helps pets feel comfortable, secure, and relaxed while their owners are away. My schedule is generally flexible, allowing me to accommodate a variety of care needs, including daycare, overnight care, drop-in visits, and pet sitting in a client's home. Pick-up and drop-off service may be available depending on distance and scheduling. My dogs are part of the family and spend much of their time relaxing near us, on the furniture, or curled up on a lap. Visiting pets are treated with the same level of care, attention, and companionship while in my home. Dogs are welcome on furniture unless owners request otherwise. I intentionally limit the number of guest dogs I accept at one time to help create a calm, safe, and low-stress environment. This allows me to provide close supervision and a more personalized experience than many high-volume pet care settings. If you prefer your dog to be crated for sleeping, feeding, or when unattended, I'm happy to accommodate as long as a crate is provided. Visiting dogs should be reasonably housebroken, with exceptions considered on a case-by-case basis for puppies and special circumstances. Meet-and-greets are strongly preferred whenever possible before services begin. They allow me to learn about your pet's personality, needs, and comfort level while helping determine whether my home and care style are a good fit. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect both the pet's routine and the owner's home, providing dependable care, companionship, exercise, and attentive supervision. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, consistency, and respect. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable environment where pets can feel relaxed, secure, and well cared for while their owners are away.
About: I dog sit of my friend dog once a while for almost 5 years. She normally stay with me more than 7 days. I’m good at take her out for a walk even during raining day. I love to give them belly rub. I spend most of my weekend at home so I have time to take care pet during the weekend. I like to take pet wherever I go, otherwise I feel bad for leave them at home for a long time. I live in a two story townhouse with 2 bedrooms, offering plenty of space for small dogs to comfortably move around and go up and down the stairs. There’s a community park right outside my home, and I love spending time outdoors. I’m happy to take dogs on long walks and make sure they get plenty of exercise and fresh air, especially if they enjoy being active.
About: I am an insured pet care professional, and I bring the same kindness and thoughtfulness I would want someone to show my own pet. What sets me apart is that I’m dependable, attentive, and very detail-oriented. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality and routine, carefully follow your instructions, and keep you updated with plenty of photos and notes. My goal is simple: to help your pet feel safe, comfortable, loved, and genuinely well cared for whenever they’re with me. I cared for my own dog, Charlotte, for 10 years—from her puppy stage through her senior years—so I understand how much a dog’s needs can change over time. My experience with puppies began even earlier, when a neighbor who bred dogs trusted me to help care for her newborn litters. I understand the patience, consistency, and routine puppies need, including reinforcement of potty training, basic commands, leash manners, and good habits. I also know that senior dogs may need slower walks, extra time, and someone who pays attention to the little changes. I'm currently working part-time, so I will have the flexibility to walk your pet or drop in for your pet during the day while you are away. Looking forward to new clients! I currently provide care in my clients’ homes, where pets can remain comfortable in their familiar surroundings and routines. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions for walks, meals, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, preferences, and needs, keep their space tidy, and send photos and written updates after every visit. All dog walks are private and on leash. At this time, I do not offer care in my own home, overnight stays, transportation, or medication administration.

“Sofia and Jonathan are the nicest family. We were gone for a long time on an international trip to visit family in France. And it was a relief to know that our dog and bunny were well taken care of. They spent 17 days with them and we got plenty of updates and photos. Would use them again and recommend them to anyone.”
“Kamila was THE best puppy mama to Kaen during our weeklong vacation! She made his first time away easy, comfortable, and calming for him. Kamila was extremely responsive to Kaen’s needs and would update me daily on his activities with her. I especially appreciated how intentional, loving, and dedicated Kamila was with Kaen while under her care - he was by her side all day/night long!! I will definitely hire Kamila again in the near future - she is simply a GEM!”
“Stefanile is a great sitter. She was incredibly accommodating and patient in dealing with my dog—a rather shy, introverted, and somewhat challenging dog. Given her deep understanding of canine personalities and traits, as well as her extensive experience as a sitter, I was able to entrust Chaco to her care with peace of mind. She sent updates and photos, making communication very easy. Thank you!”
“Jess was responsive and commucative throughout. She did a great job taking care of my pup - he came back very tired, like he just spent a week at camp. Thank you for taking him to the dog park and the many photos and videos - really appreciate it. 10/10, would absolutely recommend.”
“Styles loves his time at Peter's house.. So much play time. The back yard is doggy paradise. Peter went out of his way to pamper my dog and even supplemented his food when I underestimated. Five Stars!”
“This is Loveleen's second time with Casey and I have no worries at all whenever Loveleen is under Casey's care for doggy day care. I highly recommend Casey's services as he is very communicative and is flexible on drop off and pick up timing. This will not be Loveleen's last time with Casey!”
“This was our first time using Rover, so we were nervous. But it was a great experience! Daisy spent four nights at Ruth’s house and, as the only dog, got lots of TLC! Thank you, Ruth, for keeping us posted and for the great pics - and for loving Daisy while we were away! She’ll be back, for sure!”
“Ciao was amazing! He sent videos and updates on banksy. Looks like banksy was having a wonderful time. I will definitely be using ciao again and always! Your dog is in great hands with him. Very happy with ciao!”
“Chris took good care of Mia, who seemed very comfortable with the stay. We appreciated the daily updates as well as Chris' friendliness and positivity. Would not hesitate to have Mia stay again.”
“Joseph and Marikris came through on a last-minute reservation and provided exceptional levels of care for my special needs dog. My dog Daisy had been recently diagnosed with IVDD and I was prepared to cancel my trip, but Marikris assured me of her professional veterinary background and familiarity with the condition, and I felt confident trusting J&M with her care. Daisy looked so happy in all the photos they shared, and I feel truly blessed to have found such kind and attentive neighbors to care for my girl. Thank you so much Joseph & Marikris, you guys are amazing and I look forward to working together again 🙌”
“Lyra has stayed with Ulunma multiple times and we feel secure knowing she is in good hands each time. Ulunma pays attention to Lyra’s basic needs as well as any changes in her day to day habits. She’s communicative and is great about sharing pictures while we’re away. Lyra will be back for more stays!”
“Thank you, Max, Virginie and Louise for taking such good care of our beloved, Rosa. While only for an overnight, we could quickly see that she adjusted well. We'll be in touch again with plans for another visit! Thank you!”
“Santiago was very accommodating and made my dogs feel right at home! Kept their schedule consistent and lives near a nice walking path. One thing that really made him stand out is that your dog(s) are the only ones he and his family watch. Where I’ve been to some sitters and they have like 4-5 different dogs there being watched so they can make more money. So with him only watching ours I know they were looked after and it was great to get pics of the pups while traveling. 10/10 would reccomend!”
“Maria & Kevan along with their wonderful girls were amazing petsitters for our Labrador Retreiver, Louie. From the moment I dropped off Louie and met them, I could tell he was going to be completely comfortable, well-cared for, and loved for the duration of his 10 day stay with their family. Receiving a photo or two of Louie each day was amazing and it was heartwarming to see Louie so happy getting lots of snuggles, playtime with his toys, neighborhood walks, and peaceful naps at their feet. Thank you so much to Maria & Kevan and their daughters for making Louie feel like a part of their family! Louie can't wait to visit again!”
“Stacy was such a great fit for our healer with big feelings! She is knowledgeable, kind and easy to communicate with. Stacy sent pics and updates - and it was clear at pickup that Cali enjoyed her stay.”
“We had a great trial night with Aiko and Dennis, can’t wait to have them care for Lilly while we will be out for a bit longer. They were very caring and the pup came home calm and happy. We are very happy to have found them.”
“This was our first time leaving our puppy behind and Karen was amazing! She sent plenty of updates and pictures showing us how Cooper was doing and he looked like he was having the best time in every picture! He was well taken care of and we will definitely bring him back whenever we need a sitter again.”
