“What a great family and dog sitters!!!!! The kids know hope to care and lead dogs. Hoada and Fawzi are warm, calm and welcoming. The trust and confidence in dog care is solid. A great spot for dog care!”
“Our 3 month old puppy had a great experience with Sharmistha. She is great at communicating and sending photos each day of his stay. Her home is inviting and she has a beautiful outdoor space as well. I would definitely recommend Sharmistha and would use her services again!”
“Daisy did an amazing job caring for our dogs while we were out of town. From the moment we picked them up, we could tell they had a great time-they came home happy, sleepy (LOL), and clearly well-loved. They got plenty of play time with Daisy's kids and their dog, which made it feel like a true family environment. Knowing our dogs were treated like part of the family meant everything to us and gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Thank you so much Daisy and family for taking such great care of our pups! We highly recommend her and would absolutely book again!”
About: I have owned pets of diverse age and size, from litter age to senior dogs - their love is sublime, and their ask & needs endearing. I am a health care industry remote working professional who enjoys spending time with my senior pug, Ginger. My residence is on a 1 acre lot with a private valley, and controlled gated access. The house also has a hummingbird colony that calls it home for decades. I love to take Ginger for walks, and engage with other pet lovers, in a world where everyone is plugged into their devices. I recognize its a huge responsibility and an honor to take care of your pet. I also travel and the need to have a loving caring home for my pet has been a major area of concern. Pets are very sensitive to changes in their routine, and absence of their care provider, and need a caring home while they await your return. With that in mind, it's important to provide both comfort - food, rest, play time, bio breaks - and also reassurance in a moment that can be stressful. I recognize the need that disruptions can cause their bodily routines to change, and those moments need care and understanding. I am fine with that. I sincerely hope that when their stay with me is complete, and they are back in your arms, they look back with a wag, as they hop in the family car for the trip home.
“We absolutely love Xue! This is the third time we’ve left our dog, Valentino, in her care, and every time the experience has been wonderful. She takes such loving and attentive care of him, and it truly shows—Valentino is always happy, comfortable, and well-bonded with her. In fact, he even misses her when we bring him home, which says everything about the connection she builds. We trust Xue completely and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.”
“Thank you Frank and Thao for taking such great care of Louie. We appreciated the pictures and updates and looked like he had so much fun playing with Walter in the big backyard. We were comforted leaving our fur baby in your care and will rebook again!!”
“Matthew provided excellent care for our two poms while we were away for the weekend. He played with them, took them on walks, sent us pics each day, and communicated with us frequently. Our dogs were so happy and content when we got home, so I know they were well cared for. I would definitely recommend Matthew. He is a true dog lover and a responsible sitter we can trust. Thank you!!”
“Jennifer and her family took great care of Yomi over the week and when we missed our flight home, she was able to take care of Yomi an extra day which we were very grateful for. Yomi looks like in great condition and we got daily updates and pics from her. Thanks so much and we will definitely be back again!”
“Saumya and Gaurav took great care of our dog Coco. They sent constant updates and pictures and very accommodating and accessible. Really appreciate all the help and we will definitely leave Coco again with them, as we now feel we have a trusted family to take care of our pet.”
“We absolutely loved the care Sony received! Navneet treated him with so much love, patience, and attention, as if he were her own dog. It gave us great peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. Sony was happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout his stay. We truly appreciate the updates and the genuine affection she showed him. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care! 🐾💕”

Beyond just basic care, I focus on creating a safe, loving environment where your dog feels happy, comfortable, and secure while you’re away.

I’m flexible and reliable, making sure your furry friend’s routine stays consistent even when you’re away, so they feel happy, safe, and loved at all times.

About: I grew up surrounded by animals, with a dad who’s a farmer and a home full of furry (and sometimes feathery) companions. From a young age, I dreamed of becoming a veterinarian, and while life took me down a different path, my love and passion for animals never changed. These days, I enjoy walking and carrying for dogs. There's something special about just being present with them. I’m also a proud mom to two animal-loving girls (ages 8 and 10), and together we dream of having a house full of animals... if only we had the space! I am self employed so I can set my own hours. I love to be outside. I walk my own dog everyday. Happy to take animals on walks, play with my own dog or even go on a hike. I live on ½ an acre with lots of grass and a fenced in backyard. We live right near the Iron Horse Trail so walks are encouraged. =)

“I had a last-minute need for someone to check in on my dog due to a flight delay, and Hailey truly saved the day! She responded quickly, was flexible and reliable, and kept me updated throughout the entire process to ensure my dog was well cared for. I’m so grateful to Hailey for stepping in on such short notice and would highly recommend her for any future pet sitting needs. Thank you, Hailey!”

“3rd time with Betsy and she is always awesome! My cats adore her and its clear that she loves them like her own. She sends pictures and updates and I completely trust her to stay in our and handle any issues that may arise.”
“Booked a super last minute drop in visit for our dogs with Trevor and he was as excellent as when he did in-house dog sitting for us for a few days, communicative, attentive to the dogs and professional! Were very lucky to have found a reliable pet sitter our pups clearly adore!”
“First time hiring a pet sitter, and Adaley was awesome. Friendly and professional, kept us updated, and our shy cats loved her. Will definitely be reaching out again next time we need a sitter!”
About: Dog walking and dog sitting was my first ever job! I have dog walked and dog sat for my friends, my family, and worked for local dog walking company for a couple years—taking care and walking multiple dogs a week. I have also cat sat for many years and volunteered at an animal shelter and have lots of experience with different kinds of dogs and cats. I love my pets and would love to care of yours like they are my own! I’m currently working part time from home and have availability during the day for dog walks. I am also available on some weeks/weekends for dog and cat sitting! I have a fenced yard and a very walkable neighborhood for dogs. I can crate dogs and take dogs on walks. I also have had dogs in this home and currently have 1 friendly cat.
“Stephanie was absolutely wonderful with our cat, Walter. She took care of him over the holidays and was very communicative with us the entire time. Our little kitty tweaked his paw while we were away and she kept us updated 100% of the time and fielded all of our questions. She game planned with us and made sure he was taken care of. She made us feel so comfortable while we were away and we knew he was in good hands. I couldn’t say more positive things about her. She’s awesome & kind. We will definitely be rebooking in the future.”
“Nicole was very kind and easy to work with! She came over for a meet and greet on her own time and we planned out everything together. She gave me daily updates on how Ace was doing and took great care of him during our absence! Thanks so much for your help!”
“Eva was great! Very responsive and genuinely wanted to make sure that our kitties were well taken care of while we were gone. All 3 of our kitties quickly warmed up to her and we truly appreciated all of her help.”
About: I am a Pet owner of a 15 year old dog weeny dog, and in the past I have grown up with over 6 family dogs, 3 cats and taken care of many neighborhood pets (dog/animal sat and house sat) over the years! I am a realtor that works from home with a 12yr old son. My son Ayden is a total dog lover and very kind and caring with animals! I have a fully open schedule to care for your fur baby while you are gone! I usually go on a morning, afternoon and evening walk. My neighborhood has a huge greenbelt with tons of walking paths and grass lined with wonderfully shaded trees. I give all the animals I pet sit the same love and care as I do my own animal! I will follow exact instructions for feeding, exercise, etc. I am very flexible with my schedule and my care techniques to fit your pup's needs! I work remote at home, and am self employed so I am available at anytime of day to care for pets. I am able to stay at pet owners home and work from their home as well in order to give pets the most possible attention, love and care while their fur parents are away. I will follow all instructions given by owners and respect their wishes for their fur babies! I write notes for owner about times of feedings, walks and potty times so owner knows I am on schedule and following their instructions.
“Lara did a couple of drop ins for me yesterday, and did a great job. She shared pics of them on walks exploring the neighborhood and of her giving Frankie her treats. I am so grateful that I found her!!”
About: I adopted my four legged friend 7 years ago and have dedicated all my free time to training and adventuring with him. I adore animals and love being able to train and spend time with them so that they can enjoy the world as much as we do! I have been pet sitting for friends for nearly 10 years for both pups and kitty’s, I grew up with cats and pet sit my best friends when I need some kitty love. I am currently between scientists jobs so I am available pretty much any time we’re not on overlanding, camping or on backcountry adventures with our pup! I take a soft approach to training and care, as my boy was a rescue and very tentative with people and scared of nearly everything. I am happy to discuss care with owners and want to keep to your commands, care, and schedule because I know how important it is for our pets!
About: Hi! My name is Zoey, and I am a 21-year-old looking for opportunities to make sure your dog gets what they need while you are away! I've taken care of dogs for many years, but have taken more official paid positions in the last 4. Recently, I have worked to board dogs for families around my college town for periods of up to 6 hours to allow these families to go out for dinners, to the movies, and more without the need to worry about their dogs at home. I have walked dogs for local families regularly, helped take care of special needs dogs on check-ins (such as those with neurogenic bladder), and have dropped by houses to feed, play, and give love and affection to their dogs. When I was 12 years old, my sister and I took it upon ourselves to train our neighbor's golden retriever, Sandy Cheeks, to heel so that we could take her on walks and she would be easier to handle. We successfully managed to teach her, not just how to heel, but also how to come when called, shake, and roll over (quite a feat since many goldens don't love to learn how to roll over). Since then, I have loved learning how to handle dogs of all types, working with slightly reactive dogs, to energetic dogs that don't know their own strength. I am a dog enthusiast! All my life, I have loved dogs so much, but my parents were allergic and refused to get a pet. Finally, in my senior year of high school, my parents got a medium-sized golden doodle and surprised my sister and me. I cried. I can not express the level of joy I experience around dogs. Many of my friends could attest to the connection I have with dogs when I meet them. They are shocked by how much their dogs love me right away. What they don’t know is that I have carefully researched ways to approach dogs and read their body language to determine how they would like to be interacted with. I am a researcher at heart. I am an undergrad in college who has worked on multiple graduate-level research projects in the fields of neuroscience, psychology, biology, and sports studies. When I fell in love with animals, I made it a mission to know how to handle them and treat them with the care they deserve. Where to pet the dog, how to walk up to a dog, what sort of eye contact to make with the dog; these are all examples of how I have learned to pay attention to dogs and respect their boundaries in order to create deep bonds. I am my dog's safe place; she will come and sit between my legs when overwhelmed because she trusts me to protect her and not to treat her the way she needs to be treated at that moment. I would bring this level of care, passion, and enthusiasm to every workday and hope to strengthen the care and play experience of all dogs. I have worked with dogs of many breeds and many ages with many different needs. I have experience with nervous dogs, hyperactive dogs, reactive dogs, super intelligent dogs, stubborn dogs, and hypoallergenic dogs. I am an athlete, and my athletic and strength training have allowed me to handle strong dogs on lead, heavy dogs, and aggressive dogs that pull or suddenly jerk. My athleticism is particularly handy with highly energetic breeds. My own dog's favorite hobby is getting chased around by me or chasing after me. I have also been known to take dogs on runs with me or hikes. If your dog has a particular routine that involves going for a morning run, I would be the perfect candidate to keep that habit up while you're away! I have held many part-time jobs, and I am consistent and reliable. I am a great candidate to take care of your dog in any way. Consider me for all your pet care needs! I am an early riser! If you'd like a walk for your pet, morning, noon, and afternoon walks are the best! I like to schedule my pet care throughout my day, such as in the morning, at noon, and in the afternoon. It depends on what pet care you need from me, but for a home drop-in, I prefer to have time to take your pup out, feed them if necessary, get them used to my presence, calmed down, and give them a little treat before I take off. I am free for a large majority of the time. I work several part-time jobs at the moment, so scheduling around shorter shifts is no problem for me. I am extremely responsible with other people's properties. I am a detail-oriented person and not one to make mistakes or leave a mess when in another person's space. I follow the philosophy: leave every place better than you entered. In this case, I would leave your home better by giving your dogs care. When your pet is with me, their safety and emotional state are my number one priority. If I need to transport your pet anywhere, I am an excellent driver and have never once been ticketed or gotten into an accident. For walks, I have experience with animal safety and protection from other pets and wild animals. With small dogs, you never have to worry about a potential coyote attack or a larger breed biting the dog. I take dog safety very seriously and prepare for every walk with proper equipment, extra food for the dog, extra poop bags, and water. I will always switch to walking a dog or multiple dogs on the inside of me when passing other animals. I am also experienced using treats to maintain a dog's attention. I will never force your dog into any situation that their body language tells me they are not okay with. I am detail-oriented and good at shutting down potentially dangerous situations before they occur.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and caring for them has always been a big part of who I am. Growing up, my family had a wide variety of pets including dogs, cats, horses, and rabbits, so I’m very comfortable with different types of animals and personalities. During my time at CSU, I’ve continued that passion by fostering three puppies and a couple of cats over the past few years. This gave me hands-on experience with everything from young, high-energy pets to helping animals adjust to new environments. I also regularly help care for my roommate’s dog and cat, so I’m used to day-to-day responsibilities like feeding, walking, playing, and making sure pets feel safe and loved. I truly love animals and being around them is part of my everyday life—I’ll treat your pet like my own and make sure they get plenty of attention, care, and love while you’re away. I’m currently a CSU student and work during the week, so I’m primarily available for pet care on weekends. That said, I do have some flexibility during certain weekdays depending on my class and work schedule, so feel free to reach out—I’m happy to see if I can make something work! I focus primarily on dog walking and drop-in visits, and I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. During walks, I make sure dogs are securely leashed, stay in safe areas, and get the right amount of exercise based on their energy level and needs. For drop-in visits, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine—whether that’s feeding, playtime, walks, or just keeping them company. I always take time to make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for, especially when their owners are away. I’m very attentive to details and will follow any specific instructions you provide, including medications, feeding schedules, or behavior preferences. I also make sure your home is respected and left exactly how I found it. Communication is important to me, so I’ll always keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and in good hands!
“Diana took great care of my cat Oliver. She sent me daily pictures/videos to show me how he’s doing. Oliver’s usually very reserved and takes around three days to come out of hiding when with a new sitter but with Diana he was coming out the first night already. He got along really well with her cat Spikey as well. They were having a blast chasing each other all night. I highly recommend to book her as your sitter.”

“Houda & Fawzi and their lovely family were fantastic with Zoe (3yo pit bull). Their children are amazing with the dogs and there’s so much of their property to roam for Zoe. Zoe was exhausted, well fed and much loved when she came home. Thanks!”
“Matthew was absolutely amazing with my Bear. I was initially a little nervous to hear how the first walk went given my dog’s fondness of squirrels. Matthew’s confidence, care and warmth toward Bear made him feel at home, like they have known each other forever. I highly recommend and plan on consistently booking. Thank you Matt!!”

“Remi had a great time!!! I’m 9 months pregnant and had a baptism to go to. My dog had a biopsy done a week ago and needed to stay with someone. Sahaila even offered to pick him up to make things easier for me. Remi was walked and seemed so happy in the pictures that were sent!! He had a great time, thank you Sahaila!”
“My dogs had a great day with Brittany! She sent a ton of updates and I didn’t have to worry about them while I was at work! She made our shy rescue shepherd mix feel at home and kept our rambunctious corgi entertained! Thank you Brittany!”
About: I have had pets since I was a child, including cats and dogs. My family and I have had our current cat and prior cats from kittens, and our Golden Retriever Arnold since he was a puppy. I have the option of working at home full-time, and spending time cuddling your fur baby or taking him or her for walks and/or runs. I have a fenced yard and a friendly golden to keep your dog entertained and show him/her the ropes. I am happy to have a lap dog, or a more active dog who likes to fetch, swim, walk, or run.
“JP did an amazing job with my husky on a last-minute request, he has a beautiful and safe house and large yard. He sent lots of photos so I could see how my boy was doing and I saw all of the activity he was getting with play time and walks. Their dog Arnold is clearly very friendly and was great company. Will rebook with confidence any time”
“Highly recommend Dylan! He’s local, super reliable, and great with my puppy, Olivia. He has two small dogs that Olivia absolutely loved playing with, which made her experience even better. It’s great to find a sitter where your pet gets both personal attention and social time.”
“Wonderful. We were concerned because it was Finn’s first time away from us both. He did great. We had a late night and Sharmishta was very accommodating. We would love to use her again.”
About: I’ve been a dog mom for over 30 years, and caring for pups is just part of who I am. My first dog was with me for 18 amazing years, and my second for 14. They were truly family! I love taking care of dogs all ages, but have a soft spot for senior dogs. I have a lot of experience with the extra care they need, like giving meds, keeping an eye on their health, and making sure they feel safe and loved. If your dog stays with our family, they’ll get all the cuddles, patience, and attention they deserve….just like we’d give our own. We love dogs and miss having our own, so we welcome all the pup cuddles! I am home during the day and can be available weekdays from 9 am to 4 pm for drop-in visits or taking your dog for a walk. In our home, your fur baby will be taken care of like family. We have a 9 and 7 year old who will help ensure they receive lots of love while you’re away. We have a fenced yard they can play in, as well as a great neighborhood we can go for walks in. You let us know what works best for your dog and we will make sure to stick to it, to help them feel as comfortable as possible and keep their routine. Our goal is to make the stay stress free for the dog and for you, as owners. For Drop-in visits, I will be sure to follow the routine you have shared for feeding, walks, and playtime to provide consistency and comfort. While with your dog, I will be sure to track feeding times, bathroom breaks, any behavioral observations, and share photos to give you peace of mind.
About: I have grown up with dogs most of my life and have experience taking care of cats, rabbits, turtles, and fish.

I pride myself on providing quality animal care and want to make sure your pet is safe and happy during their time with me. Currently I am taking a sabbatical and have plenty of time to take care of your pup! Depending on your preference and your dog's needs, I can provide plenty of physical activity and mental stimulation. I am happy to take care of your pet in your home and do daily walks. Please let me know if your pet is comfortable around other dogs. If they're not, I can easily leave my dog at home while I focus on your pet's needs.

I am filled with gratitude and highly recommend Shyamala for all your doggie day care needs!”

“Sindhuri has been our rock when it comes to finding someone to walk my puppy, check in on him and feed him. She’s always been there! Most stressful of times when my pup was fixed and I had to leave him home for a few hours, it was her who made me feel at ease. Thank you for being there and making me feel my fur baby is in good hands!”

It depends on what pet care you need from me, but for a home drop-in, I prefer to have time to take your pup out, feed them if necessary, get them used to my presence, calmed down, and give them a little treat before I take off. I am free for a large majority of the time. I work several part-time jobs at the moment, so scheduling around shorter shifts is no problem for me. I am extremely responsible with other people's properties. I am a detail-oriented person and not one to make mistakes or leave a mess when in another person's space. I follow the philosophy: leave every place better than you entered. In this case, I would leave your home better by giving your dogs care. When your pet is with me, their safety and emotional state are my number one priority. If I need to transport your pet anywhere, I am an excellent driver and have never once been ticketed or gotten into an accident. For walks, I have experience with animal safety and protection from other pets and wild animals. With small dogs, you never have to worry about a potential coyote attack or a larger breed biting the dog. I take dog safety very seriously and prepare for every walk with proper equipment, extra food for the dog, extra poop bags, and water. I will always switch to walking a dog or multiple dogs on the inside of me when passing other animals. I am also experienced using treats to maintain a dog's attention. I will never force your dog into any situation that their body language tells me they are not okay with. I am detail-oriented and good at shutting down potentially dangerous situations before they occur.
About: Dog walking and dog sitting was my first ever job! I have dog walked and dog sat for my friends, my family, and worked for local dog walking company for a couple years—taking care and walking multiple dogs a week. I have also cat sat for many years and volunteered at an animal shelter and have lots of experience with different kinds of dogs and cats. I love my pets and would love to care of yours like they are my own! I’m currently working part time from home and have availability during the day for dog walks. I am also available on some weeks/weekends for dog and cat sitting! I have a fenced yard and a very walkable neighborhood for dogs. I can crate dogs and take dogs on walks. I also have had dogs in this home and currently have 1 friendly cat.
“Aubrey is a superstar!!! I needed assistance with my two German Shepherds and she arrived cheerful and ready to go each day! Our dogs were comfortable with her immediately and she kept my mischievous one in line with kindness and patience. She even helped me bring the garbage cans out and back in!! Aubrey is awesome!!”
“Joe was very punctual and communicative with us as he walked our two pups. We are very happy to come across his profile and we will be using him again in the future. Thank you Joe!”

I have a fully open schedule to care for your fur baby while you are gone! I usually go on a morning, afternoon and evening walk. My neighborhood has a huge greenbelt with tons of walking paths and grass lined with wonderfully shaded trees. I give all the animals I pet sit the same love and care as I do my own animal! I will follow exact instructions for feeding, exercise, etc. I am very flexible with my schedule and my care techniques to fit your pup's needs! I work remote at home, and am self employed so I am available at anytime of day to care for pets. I am able to stay at pet owners home and work from their home as well in order to give pets the most possible attention, love and care while their fur parents are away. I will follow all instructions given by owners and respect their wishes for their fur babies! I write notes for owner about times of feedings, walks and potty times so owner knows I am on schedule and following their instructions.
About: Growing up, I was constantly surrounded by animals because of my parents being vets. Currently, I have six dogs, a rabbit, and a cat! I have helped take care of, raise, and train two puppy litters. Being around all kinds of animals is a joy and pets health and safety is my biggest priority. I am a full time student, however I have an extremely flexible schedule which allows me to spend as much time as need be with pets. I also am not employed, so your pets would be my first priority. I am extremely adaptable to the needs of your pets, whether it be specific dietary needs or sleeping habits, I can accommodate whatever your pets (and you!) need to feel 100% safe. Normally, I take care of mail and garbage when I am staying at a house, unless asked otherwise.

We have a small, enclosed yard where your pup can enjoy some fresh air, sun-tanning, and additional exercise. We also have a beautiful greenbelt right behind our house where there is plenty of room for your dog to roam and play.

Daycare rate may apply if stay is longer (for example, morning drop-off with an afternoon or evening pick-up) -An additional charge for puppies under 2 years of age and to holiday bookings Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions, and I look forward to meeting you and your pup!
“Our dog took an immediate liking to Lara. It was the first time in 12 years we left him overnight. Lara kept us updated with pictures and comments. Made us feel at ease so we could enjoy our mini vacation. Got back to a happy dog and all is well.”
About: I’ve been a dog mom for over 30 years, and caring for pups is just part of who I am. My first dog was with me for 18 amazing years, and my second for 14. They were truly family! I love taking care of dogs all ages, but have a soft spot for senior dogs. I have a lot of experience with the extra care they need, like giving meds, keeping an eye on their health, and making sure they feel safe and loved. If your dog stays with our family, they’ll get all the cuddles, patience, and attention they deserve….just like we’d give our own. We love dogs and miss having our own, so we welcome all the pup cuddles! I am home during the day and can be available weekdays from 9 am to 4 pm for drop-in visits or taking your dog for a walk. In our home, your fur baby will be taken care of like family. We have a 9 and 7 year old who will help ensure they receive lots of love while you’re away. We have a fenced yard they can play in, as well as a great neighborhood we can go for walks in. You let us know what works best for your dog and we will make sure to stick to it, to help them feel as comfortable as possible and keep their routine. Our goal is to make the stay stress free for the dog and for you, as owners. For Drop-in visits, I will be sure to follow the routine you have shared for feeding, walks, and playtime to provide consistency and comfort. While with your dog, I will be sure to track feeding times, bathroom breaks, any behavioral observations, and share photos to give you peace of mind.
About: Hi I’m Kenzie! I’m fully trained and capable of ensuring each dog gets the attention, exercise, care and love they need. I love all animals and take pride in providing safe and reliable care! I’ve grown up in a home with more than 3 dogs at a time so caring for multiple pets is second nature to me. I’m currently home from the summer and have a very open schedule where I can ensure potty breaks, drops ins, and walks every 2-3 hours I prioritize pet safety! I’m experienced with crate training, secure leash walking, special care, and overall making sure your pet is safe and happy.
About: I have grown up with dogs most of my life and have experience taking care of cats, rabbits, turtles, and fish. My experience with dogs includes: training, dog walking, and administering medication. I have a 5 1/2 year old mini double doodle named Kota and trained him myself. I pride myself on providing quality animal care and want to make sure your pet is safe and happy during their time with me. Currently I am taking a sabbatical and have plenty of time to take care of your pup! Depending on your preference and your dog's needs, I can provide plenty of physical activity and mental stimulation. I am happy to take care of your pet in your home and do daily walks. Please let me know if your pet is comfortable around other dogs. If they're not, I can easily leave my dog at home while I focus on your pet's needs.

“What a great family and dog sitters!!!!! The kids know hope to care and lead dogs. Hoada and Fawzi are warm, calm and welcoming. The trust and confidence in dog care is solid. A great spot for dog care!”
“Daisy did an amazing job caring for our dogs while we were out of town. From the moment we picked them up, we could tell they had a great time-they came home happy, sleepy (LOL), and clearly well-loved. They got plenty of play time with Daisy's kids and their dog, which made it feel like a true family environment. Knowing our dogs were treated like part of the family meant everything to us and gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Thank you so much Daisy and family for taking such great care of our pups! We highly recommend her and would absolutely book again!”
“Thank you Frank and Thao for taking such great care of Louie. We appreciated the pictures and updates and looked like he had so much fun playing with Walter in the big backyard. We were comforted leaving our fur baby in your care and will rebook again!!”
“Matthew provided excellent care for our two poms while we were away for the weekend. He played with them, took them on walks, sent us pics each day, and communicated with us frequently. Our dogs were so happy and content when we got home, so I know they were well cared for. I would definitely recommend Matthew. He is a true dog lover and a responsible sitter we can trust. Thank you!!”
“Jennifer and her family took great care of Yomi over the week and when we missed our flight home, she was able to take care of Yomi an extra day which we were very grateful for. Yomi looks like in great condition and we got daily updates and pics from her. Thanks so much and we will definitely be back again!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience and genuine love for every dog I care for. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies learning the ropes of training and socialization, to senior dogs who need extra patience, gentle handling, and sometimes medication. I provide personalized attention, daily walks, playtime, and mental stimulation tailored to each dog’s personality and needs. Beyond just basic care, I focus on creating a safe, loving environment where your dog feels happy, comfortable, and secure while you’re away. Whether it’s teaching new tricks, keeping routines consistent, or giving endless belly rubs and cuddles, your furry friend will be in caring, reliable hands every day. Pet care is a top priority in my daily and weekly routine. Every day, I dedicate time for walks, play, feeding, and any special needs your dog may have. Puppies get training sessions and extra attention, while senior dogs receive gentle care and monitoring. I structure my schedule to ensure consistent exercise, socialization, and rest for every pet in my care. I’m flexible and reliable, making sure your furry friend’s routine stays consistent even when you’re away, so they feel happy, safe, and loved at all times. I provide loving, attentive care at your home. I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions like medications or training exercises. My goal is to keep your furry friend happy, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away. Whether it’s puppies needing extra attention or senior dogs requiring gentle care, I make sure every pet feels safe and loved in their own environment.
About: I grew up surrounded by animals, with a dad who’s a farmer and a home full of furry (and sometimes feathery) companions. From a young age, I dreamed of becoming a veterinarian, and while life took me down a different path, my love and passion for animals never changed. These days, I enjoy walking and carrying for dogs. There's something special about just being present with them. I’m also a proud mom to two animal-loving girls (ages 8 and 10), and together we dream of having a house full of animals... if only we had the space! I am self employed so I can set my own hours. I love to be outside. I walk my own dog everyday. Happy to take animals on walks, play with my own dog or even go on a hike. I live on ½ an acre with lots of grass and a fenced in backyard. We live right near the Iron Horse Trail so walks are encouraged. =)
“Sameer watched my dog as well as my parents dogs while we were in hawaii. He sent pictures and kept me updated on how she was. Charlie seemed to have had a great time and I would definitely rebook with Sammer!”
“This was a great experience!! This was the first time our dog stayed with someone we didn't know and Ruth made the process so easy. We felt so relaxed knowing our dog was not only well taken care of but loved! Ruth sent constant updates and photos to keep us informed. We would definitely return and highly recommend Ruth!!”
About: I have three rescue fur babies that live their best lives and consider my clients to be an extended part of my little family. I even have a sign on my desk that says, “I work hard so my dogs can have a better life.” I am a health care leader who recently relocated to California and I am available to care for your pet Monday-Sunday. I provide services in the Danville and San Ramon area. **House Sitting:** For overnight stays, I require a brief meet-and-greet beforehand to ensure it’s a good fit for everyone. I also ask that the space I’ll be using (bedroom and bathroom) be prepared with fresh linens for my stay. I’m very comfortable in lived-in homes, but I do ask that the environment be generally clean and safe so I can focus on providing the best care for your pet. If I feel that the setup isn’t a good fit, I may respectfully decline the booking. I’m a retired United States Air Force veteran and take pride in being reliable, detail-oriented, and respectful of your home and pets. I’m happy to provide a current background check, credit check, drug screening, and references upon request. I also encourage you to review my client feedback to get a sense of the care and consistency I provide.
“Jake very much enjoyed his time with Chris. Jake was nervous at first, but Chris calmed him down within a few minutes. When I met Chris for a meet-and-greet with Jake, I knew he would be a competent caregiver for Jake and he didn't disappoint me.”
“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!”
“Dylan was amazing! They happily showed us around their home and made us feel completely at ease to leave our furry loved ones in their care. They sent us frequent updates, pictures, and videos, of our dog, Blaze, and made sure their whole family gave him lots of exercise and love. Look no further if you're in the market of a good pet sitter and/or boarder!”
“James and family were fantastic. James is very good with dogs and Bob seemed to bond with him immediately, so I felt very comfortable leaving him. James made sure to text me if he had a question and he sent me picture updates at the end of each day. I will certainly ask James to watch Bob again. Thanks, Tim”
“Lexie was well understood and well cared for. I couldn’t have asked for more! Our dog is a tricky one with senior issues but Trisha and her family knew just how to address her difficulties and make her happy and comfortable. She fit right in with their family! I’m very grateful to Trish and I highly recommend her.”
