“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!”
“We had such a great experience with Dylan! Dylan kept us updated regularly with photos and messages, and it was clear Coco was very comfortable and well cared for the entire time. Dylan was attentive to her eating habits, kept her cool during the heat, gave her walks and even took care of bath time when she got dirty — and she apparently smelled like coconuts afterward! We really appreciated how patient, caring, and communicative he was. Coco looked happy, relaxed, and playful throughout her stay. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. We would absolutely trust Dylan with Coco again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a thoughtful and reliable dog sitter!”
“Leo was very comfortable at Mings. She provided regular updates, photos and videos proactively and was very responsive to any question or request. I'll definitely keep Leo with her again when the need arises.”
“We had a great experience with Peter. He and his family took great care of our pup. He was very easy to communicate with and sent updates with pictures throughout our pup’s stay. We felt reassured that our pup was doing well and cared for. Would definitely recommend and use for future stays!”
“Ying is a wonderful dog sitter. She took care of our 75lbs Shepard mix and sent us fun photos and generally cared about his well being. We hope she’s available the next time we need a sitter!”
“The family was so sweet to Cody and he obviously had a wonderful time with them! We loved getting the updates and pictures while we were away. We would trust Houda, Fawzi and their children with our dog anytime!”
“Trisha took wonderful care of my 8 y.o. Lab. He came home from a 3 night stay very happy and seemed like he had a nice time in her home. Great communication, easy pickup/dropoff, sent pics etc. Will use her again!”
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for furry friends, and I’m excited to help your pup feel happy and loved while you’re away. Though I recently had to be separated from my own dog, I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life, so I know how to give them attention, comfort, and fun. Whether it’s a quick visit, a long walk, or overnight care, I treat every dog like a part of the family. I’d love to meet your pup and provide the care, attention, and companionship they deserve! I work from home in a pet-friendly community, so your dog will get plenty of walks, cuddles, and attention all day. I have a flexible schedule if provided with enough notice. I prioritize safety, trust, and a happy environment for every dog. Since I don’t currently have any pets, your pup will have my full attention! I provide walks, cuddles, and supervision in a secure, pet-friendly space. Whether in my home or yours, I follow your rules and routines exactly, treating your dog and your home with the same love and respect I would my own.
“Kosar took wonderful care of our cat, Mochi, while we were away. She treated him like her own and even helped with pickup. Mochi usually takes time to adjust to new places and often stops eating, but Kosar patiently calmed him and made sure he was comfortable and eating well. She kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind during our trip. We highly recommend Kosar to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter, and we would gladly use her services again.”
“Starlee is always nervous with new people and animals. I can tell Natalie cares a lot and did a great job making her feel comfortable. When I came to pick her up she was a lot more relaxed and happy. I will definitely be using her services again.”
“Mary was amazing with my cat! I had to change my drop-off time last minute and ended up picking my cat up a day early. I told her to keep the payment for the full stay, but she was sweet enough to refund me. Plus, her little son played with my cat the whole time, so my kitty got plenty of love. Super honest, flexible, and reliable—will definitely be using her again!”
“Cindy took wonderful care of our 2 dogs and kept us updated with frequent photos, which really helped us miss them a little less. She was easy to communicate with, very organized throughout the process, and gave us great peace of mind. We would definitely recommend her!”
“Peter was great! Once I met him, I had no worries leaving my babies with him. He was very responsive and sent updates and pictures. I highly recommend him, unless it will make him too busy to be available for my pups!????”
“This was our first time using Rover and Clara was amazing. She has an incredibly sweet pup, named Diego, who was absolutely adorable. She definitely put our minds at ease, while we were gone for the weekend. We knew our girl was having a great time and being well taken care of. Will definitely be using her 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!”
“Yu-Shu was the best decision I made for boarding my “old pup” Cookie last minute! Yu-Shu took exceptionally good care of Cookie, took her for walks, made sure she was fed and comfortable and provided several photo/text updates throughout the day. I would book again next time in a heartbeat!”
“Shirley and their family are amazing. My family and I haven’t been on a trip for a while. I was a little nervous because my little guy still had a lot of energy, and he is a mama‘s boy, but he did fantastic. I really appreciate having videos and pictures sent to me multiple times throughout the day. I highly recommend it, and we will be back.”
“Barley has stayed with Ulunma several times now. He always enjoys his stay and is keen to get out of the car when we arrive at her house. Ulunma is very kind and quick to respond to dog sitting requests.”

“We used Rover for the first time — and for the first time since moving, we had to leave our cats in someone else’s care. We chose Ayla, and we couldn’t have asked for a better person! Every day, we received detailed updates with photos, which helped us relax and truly enjoy our time away. All of our instructions were followed exactly, and Ayla even went above and beyond by vacuuming the apartment before we got back — such a thoughtful gesture! Our cats were clearly happy and well cared for, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. We’re so grateful we found Ayla and would absolutely book her again. Highly recommended! ❤️”
About: As a proud cat owner of four, I understand that every cat has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. Caring for multiple cats has given me daily hands-on experience with feeding, litter box maintenance, playtime, enrichment, grooming, and recognizing changes in behavior that could indicate something isn't quite right. I'm comfortable caring for shy, independent, and social cats, and I know the importance of letting them warm up at their own pace. Whether your cat loves to play, prefers quiet companionship, or just needs someone to keep their routine consistent, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I know how much trust it takes to leave your cat with someone else because I'd want the same level of care for my own. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care and plenty of love so you can have peace of mind knowing your feline family member is in good hands.
“My cat absolutely loves Elizabeth. After four days away, he greeted me like I'd gone to the store. This was his second time getting visits from her, and I think he's looking forward to the next thing that takes me out of town. Thank you, thank you, thank you!”
“Alexandra took wonderful care of my cat, Nala, over the holiday. She came by every day to give her medication, spend time with her, and make sure she was doing okay. Alexandra was reliable, easy to communicate with, and genuinely caring. I felt completely at ease knowing Nala was in her hands. I’d absolutely book with her again.”
“Nicole is incredible. Thank you so much for taking care of Logan. Despite a mixup, she found a way to adapt and overcome to complete the task! Above and beyond. Thank you. We would recommend Nicole highly.”
About: I’ve had cats as part of my life for many years, including my family cat, who was with us from the time I was one year old until I was 21. Growing up with a cat gave me a deep understanding of their unique personalities, body language, and individual needs. I understand that every cat is different—some are social and affectionate, while others prefer their space and routine. I always take the time to earn a cat’s trust, respect their boundaries, and provide calm, attentive care. Whether your cat enjoys playtime and affection or simply needs a reliable caregiver to maintain their routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Tasha was a great sitter and was super communicative about her drop-in visits. She came to do a meet and green in person and made sure she asked any questions that may help with the care of the cats. She also sent photos during the visits and provided a status update on how they were doing. Would book Tasha again for our cats.”
About: I have two years of experience working at a dog daycare, where I cared for dogs of all breeds, ages, temperaments, and individual needs. My experience includes feeding, administering medication, and following detailed care instructions to ensure each dog receives proper care and attention. I’m comfortable handling a variety of situations and take pride in providing safe, reliable, and attentive care for every pet. I work full-time at a dog daycare, so caring for dogs is already a big part of my daily routine! I’m available for drop-in visits and walks every day before and after work. My schedule can vary, so I’m happy to discuss specific times when booking to make sure I can give your pup the care and attention they need. I’m also comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities and energy levels, and I’ll make sure your pup gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I follow any instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and any specific needs they may have. I also treat each client’s home with the same care and respect I would want for my own, making sure everything is kept clean, secure, and as I found it. Most importantly, I want both pets and their owners to feel comfortable and confident that they are in good hands.
“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!”
“Lara did an amazing job with our drop-in visits! One of our cats was feeling sad and would hide when she came to visit, but Lara went the extra step to coax him out and make sure he was eating. She communicated beautifully, sent great updates, and was easy to work with. Highly recommend for drop-in care!”
“Highly recommend Maya! Maya provided drop-in visits for our two dogs and four rabbits, and everything went smoothly. Communication was great throughout, she was always prompt, and it was clear our pets were well cared for. We really appreciated the reliability and attention. We will be booking Maya again.”
“I’d definitely recommend Catherine. We went on a long vacation to Europe and had Catherine drop in on our two cats every day. She looked after them so well, they are throughly spoilt and my anxious boy didn’t show any outward signs of being overly anxious (he has pulled his back fur out during previous trips. We will definitely be contacting Catherine when we atr looking for cat care in the future”
About: When I was younger I always thought being a single crazy cat lady was insane until I grew older and realized that is the dream😂 I absolutely adore cats they are definitely my favorite animal in the world. Whether your cat is friendly, shy, or spicy I know how to handle all. My friends call me the cat whisperer whenever we go out and I manage to pet the cat no one can pet. Even though I don’t have my own cat at this moment, I will always treat your cat like my own 😇
“Andrea took great care of our kitties. She is very responsible and genuinely loves animals. She asked excellent questions and took detailed notes during our meet & greet. She sent us photos and detailed reports for each drop-in visit and even brought in our mail!”
“I met Surjit in the Peace Corps and since day one she’s shown a tremendous quality of being a dependable friend. She’s charismatic, she’s thoughtful, and she’s an extremely loving caretaker. When my dog Darwin first met her, his eyes lit up and his pupils went wide with love for her as they continue to do so every time they get together and forget I’m even there. She’s one of the very few people who I trust enough to take care of Darwin and they continue to bond in a way I don’t really see with other people since, even though my dog is very cute, I think he knows it and can be a bit antisocial and aloof. But Surjit sees him and fully accepts him for who he is, as I see her do with all pets in her life. I happily endorse Surjit because I know that she does not just see your pet as a dog or a cat, she sees them as individuals with their own personalities, fears, habits, wants, and needs. I happily endorse Surjit because I know that she will, without a doubt, go above and beyond and take care of your pet like she takes care of her own family and friends.”
“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.”
About: I've taken care of close family friends dogs and I've worked at a pet resort for dogs and other animals. You can trust me to treat them with so much love and give them their basic needs and anything else you'd like for me to do with them (: I currently work with dogs full time with a schedule and I will work around the schedule and when it comes to your fur baby I prioritize them first before working with other dogs. I do not have pets of my own but because I've taken care of others and worked at a pet resort for dogs and other animals I know what's needed to be done. I know dog behavior, feedings, medicine, how often they should go use the bathroom, etc.

“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!”
“Pluto came back home so happy, relaxed, and full of smiles after spending the day with Dylan and his pups! 😊.. Dylan kept us updated throughout the day with photos and messages, so we knew how Pluto was doing.. Thank you again for taking care of him—we really appreciate it!”
“Sahaila was AMAZING to work with -bonded with my special pretzel (sep. anx. and dog-reactive chihuahua) -SO kind -really went above and beyond Also of note: home is in a quiet neighborhood, and I would recommend for sound-sensitive pups. 🩵”
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.
“I will definitely be going back! Bandit LOVED being with them. I knew they’d be good sitters when they walked out and the kids and Shawna had researched my dogs breed (Frisian Stabij) that was an immediate sigh of relief and it only went up from there. They were communicative, sent pictures, and so trustworthy. Would recommend !!”
About: Hello! My name is Allie. I’m a lifelong dog lover, owner, and trainer. I come from Washington state where I was raised with dogs of all kinds. For the last few years, I professionally trained and also trained law-enforcement canines. I actively compete with my dog in a sport called Schutzhund. I am extremely confident with all kinds of dogs- from tiny ones, to the giant breeds! If you have a sport dog that you need handled by an experienced working dog handler, I can absolutely help you out. I am an extremely competent and safe handler and look forward to helping you out with your pups! Right now, I am a stay at home dog mom who is always training and working my dog. I have a highly flexible schedule and would love to help you out! I have an awesome yard that your dogs are welcomed to play in on a long line. I also have a very sweet intact male dog who is a friend to all, if your dog likes others! I have crates available if your dog needs one. I exercise and train my dog daily, so your dog’s needs can easily be tended to. I have plenty of experience with working dogs, so I understand the implications of handling them (detection, apprehension, sport). Your pup will be extremely safe and well cared for!
“Jing’s place was nice and clean. The front yard had several safety gates available so it reassured me my puppy wouldn’t run off into the street as young dogs can get excited. It was our puppy’s first time going to doggy daycare so I also didn’t know what to expect. We provided our dog food, which he didn’t eat because he doesn’t typically eat during the time we booked but wanted to make sure he had a backup in case needed. My puppy is house trained so I asked if he had any accidents, Jing stared he didn’t. He also had some time outside in the fenced backyard to sniff and play.”
“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”
About: I had a brother who loved to bring animals home which I had to take care of. Now I have two daughters who love to take care of dogs , cats and other animals. I’m working part time at home so I have more time to play with your pets when I’m on break. I love to play with and to care for animals I have a home with a fence so they can pace around my yard freely without escaping. I don’t have many harsh rules for animals in my house so they can move anywhere they want any time .
“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!!”
“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!”
About: As a dedicated dog parent myself, my unique strengths include senior dog care, dog walking and providing a calm home environment along with custom routines. Pet care is already a core part of my daily rhythm. As a dog parent myself, I start and end most days with walks, so caring for a dog fits naturally into my schedule rather than competing with it. Since I'm currently a homemaker, I have flexible, consistent availability throughout the week — including mornings, midday, and afternoons — which means I can offer reliable, on-time walks rather than squeezing them in around a 9-to-2. I'm looking to build dog walking into a regular part of my week: it keeps me active, gets me outdoors, and lets me connect with neighbors and other pet parents in the community. Because I understand the responsibility of caring for a dog firsthand — from reading their energy level to knowing when they need a slower pace or extra water breaks — I bring the same attentiveness to dogs in my care that I'd want for my own. For dog walking, I focus on safety, routine, and attentiveness. When I arrive at a client's home, I take time to greet the dog calmly and let them warm up to me before heading out, especially on a first visit. During the walk, I keep dogs on a secure leash, follow the pace and route that suits their energy level and age, and stay alert to their body language, other animals, traffic, and weather conditions. I always bring water for longer walks, clean up after the dog every time, and make sure collars, harnesses, and gates are securely fastened before and after each visit. Once the walk is done, I make sure the dog has fresh water available, lock up the home securely, and send the owner a quick update — including photos when I can — so they know their pet is happy and cared for. Because I'm a dog owner myself, I treat every dog in my care the way I'd want someone to treat mine: with patience, close attention, and respect for their individual personality and needs.
“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 cat mom currently working from home and would love for your pets to keep us company. With 15 years of experience caring for dogs and cats for friends, neighbors, and pets of my own, I’m familiar with routines—feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and showering your pet with lots of love and attention ❤️🐾 I have a 1-year-old British Shorthair, so I’m very familiar with cat care, litter box routines, and reading body language. I’ll send regular photo updates so you can relax while you’re away. I also speak Mandarin :) My schedule is flexible and I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and boardings on weekdays and weekends, including mornings and evenings. I’m dependable with timing, quick to respond, and I’ll keep you updated throughout the visit. Safety comes first. I follow your instructions closely, keep pets secure on leash, and double-check doors and gates. I’m careful with feeding rules, routines, and home guidelines, and I keep your space tidy. I’ll send updates and contact you right away if anything seems off.
About: I have experience caring for dogs including my own senior Shih Tzu for 14 years. I currently offer daily walks, drop-in visits, overnight boarding, and in-home pet sitting. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, potty breaks, playtime, and giving dogs the attention and calm presence they need while their owners are away. I also make sure pets stay on their usual schedule as much as possible so they feel safe and settled. Whether it’s a quick visit during the day, a walk to get energy out, or staying overnight, I focus on being reliable, patient, and attentive to each dog’s personality and needs. About my schedule: Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I am available full-time. My flexible schedule allows me to provide dependable, consistent and attentive care while ensuring each pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for throughout their time with me. We have a large fenced balcony at first floor. Also a big area in our community with natural grass perfect for play and potty breaks.
“My Siberian Husky has such a special bond with Fiona and her family! He runs to their door and is very impatient to go inside their house - his Tractive collar shows he gets hours of activity, and he always comes home tired and happy beyond what I could imagine. Definitely the best Rover we’ve ever had!”
“Megan did a fantastic job with my dog, Chester. She was attentive to his senior needs and ensured he had room to play and to rest. She sent pictures and was a great communicator. I highly recommend Megan.”

About: I always had dogs when I grew up - usually small silkie terrier, cavalier king charles and maltese. I tend to like bigger dogs now - huskies, bulldogs, Doberman, golden retriever, doodles, poodles, chowchow. I work from home a few days a week and am pretty energic to long morning walks, lunch and long evening walks or parks are great. We only have one person or families pet in the house at a time. Unless you have two dogs. Happy to understand your dog's usual routine first
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, especially those who need patience, structure, and understanding. I have a strong background in caring for both young, high-energy dogs and senior pets who require a gentler, more attentive approach. Over the years, I’ve adopted and cared for shelter dogs, including one of my most meaningful experiences: transforming my 3-year-old German Shepherd who came from an abusive and neglected background. She was fearful, submissive, and untrained when I first brought her home. Through consistent training, positive reinforcement, and a calm, stable environment, she gradually became a confident, obedient, affectionate, and deeply trusting companion. She is now 15 years old and remains a living example of the patience and care I bring to every animal I work with. This experience has taught me how to read animal behavior, build trust with nervous or reactive dogs, and adapt care to each pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s helping a young dog learn structure and good habits or providing comfort and routine for senior dogs, I focus on creating a safe, loving, and balanced environment where every pet feels secure and understood. I pick up shifts bartending but I cant adjust my schedule around sitting others dogs. I will be free when needed so no worries there. I have a nice size balcony but that the dogs can hangout on if they would like but i also take my girl out often.
“Aubrey has been walking our dog Buddy for several months and is amazing! She truly cares about Buddy and is very trustworthy, responsible, timely, and a great communicator. She always provides pictures after each walk and we know Buddy is in great hands with her. You will not regret hiring Aubrey!”
About: As the owner of four cats, I have daily hands-on experience providing consistent, attentive care to animals. Caring for multiple pets has taught me to be patient, reliable, and attentive to each animal's unique needs and personality. While my personal experience has been with cats, I'm comfortable caring for dogs by following their established routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and providing plenty of love and attention. I'll treat your dog with the same care and dedication I give my own pets! I'm currently a graduate student, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care throughout the week. I keep my availability up to date and do my best to accommodate your pet's routine, whether that's morning walks, midday drop-ins, or evening visits. I believe consistency is important, so I'll always communicate clearly and provide dependable, attentive care while you're away. Your pet's comfort, safety, and well-being are always my top priorities. Since I'm entering their space, I believe it's important to let each pet take the lead. I take the time to build trust at their own pace and never force interactions or affection. Every pet has a unique personality, and I respect their individual needs and boundaries. I'll follow your pet's routine as closely as possible, whether that includes feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication (if needed), or simply providing companionship. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away by maintaining the consistency they're used to. As a pet owner myself, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else's care. That's why I'll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout each visit, so you can have peace of mind knowing they're happy, safe, and receiving the same level of care and attention I'd want for my own pets.

“Desiree did a meet and greet with my dogs the day w and she was so nice and bubbly. My dogs took to her right away. She listened to all my quirky instructions like they were normal! On the morning of the walk she arrived on time and kept me informed with pictures and details of the walk. I feel happy to have found her and on short notice too!”
About: I have grown up caring for dogs and cats and I started pet sitting at 12 years of age! I am responsible, I pay close attention to small details, and I will love your pet like my own! I am a helper and want to make your life easier! Whether you’re gone at work or on vacation, I want you to know that your animal is safe and loved while you’re away! I currently have a flexible schedule and can do drop in visits, overnight visits, and dog walking! Right when I walk in the door, I’ll say hi and give the animal attention if they want it. I read the room to see if it will be a cheerful introduction or a more mellow hello. I make sure that all their needs are taken care of and that they get extra love before I go! I play ball and go on walks for fun exercise with the dogs! I play with cats and love on them too! I also know about animal behavior from past jobs and volunteer puppy raising for future service dogs, so I understand when an animal needs a break or a boundary made- with me or others.
About: Hi Everyone! My name is Antoine. I am a HUGE dog lover and treat each as if they were my own. I have many years of experience handling and caring for dogs of all ages, including basic obedience training. I am constantly keeping myself educated with dog behavior and training techniques. I have been dog-sitting regularly for 5 years and all of my recurring guest dogs have become an extension of our family. I have a Maltipoo, Melo, who is very friendly and loving, and will help keep your pup happy and active when they stay with us. All dogs will be walked 2-3 times a day (weather permitting) for at least 30 minutes each walk, fed as needed, and provided with fun activities. 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. I know first hand how stressful it can be to leave your 4-legged family member with someone (for both the human and the dog!) so I send daily picture/video updates during your pup's stay so that you can relax and enjoy your vacation! Please note the overnight rate applies to a 24-hour or less period (AM drop-off, AM pick up). 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!
“Stephanie provided an excellent experience when booking dog walking services. She was responsive, incredibly friendly, and sent adorable photo updates of my dogs. I truly appreciate her service and would highly recommend her!”
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.

“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!”
“Ying is a wonderful dog sitter. She took care of our 75lbs Shepard mix and sent us fun photos and generally cared about his well being. We hope she’s available the next time we need a sitter!”
“The family was so sweet to Cody and he obviously had a wonderful time with them! We loved getting the updates and pictures while we were away. We would trust Houda, Fawzi and their children with our dog anytime!”

“Peter was great! Once I met him, I had no worries leaving my babies with him. He was very responsive and sent updates and pictures. I highly recommend him, unless it will make him too busy to be available for my pups!????”
“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!”
“Yu-Shu was the best decision I made for boarding my “old pup” Cookie last minute! Yu-Shu took exceptionally good care of Cookie, took her for walks, made sure she was fed and comfortable and provided several photo/text updates throughout the day. I would book again next time in a heartbeat!”
“Barley has stayed with Ulunma several times now. He always enjoys his stay and is keen to get out of the car when we arrive at her house. Ulunma is very kind and quick to respond to dog sitting requests.”
“Virginie & Maxime are extremely professional, responsible and reliable dog sitters. They took very good care of Flynn during his overnight stay at their home giving him the attention he needed. They are also easy to reach, responsive to queries and sent us regular updates giving us peace of mind. We highly recommend Virginie & Maxime. And we will definitely book future stays with them.”
“Kane had the BEST week staying with Angela and Randall and fam. He was well loved, walked, and cuddled. They got to know him immediately and that warmed our hearts. They sent pictures regularly and replied to our questions promptly. We will definitely be booking again!!!”

The moment I picked him up, I could tell he was so happy and comfortable in her care. It means everything to know your pup is in such great hands I highly recommend her!!”
“I was grateful for Jennifer for taking Toby on a short notice. Our pup enjoyed the slumber party with her daughters. Beautiful home with a big backyard where he can roam around safely. He enjoyed the walk with their dog, Arnold. He felt right at home with her family as I see on her photos she sent me. I could tell Toby felt good and calm as we left her house. I’m glad I found her. I’ll definitely use her again. I appreciate you Rover to have found Jennifer and her wonderful family! ❤️”
About: I have been privileged to share over three decades of my life in the companionship of dogs and cats. Whether your pet needs walks or playtime while you’re away for the day, or a safe space for overnight care, I would be happy to love and pamper them as if they were my own. I have experience with pets of all ages and am comfortable administering oral and injectable medications, if needed. I also volunteer with NorCal GSP Rescue and have experience with post-surgery care. . I work from home M-F and have flexibility in my schedule. I am open to early morning or late night walks or drop-in visits in the event that you have an atypical work week. I have two pets in my home, a 12 yr old German Shorthaired Pointer (Sophie) and a 7 yr old Sphynx cat (Zelda). Both are friendly with other animals.
“Shawna is an excellent, experienced dog sitter. She went above and beyond to care for our senior dog Teddy. I was out of town when our first sitter decided Teddy was too much work. Shawna picked up Teddy from the sitter's home that day, and then provided the love and attention he needed. I will be forever grateful that I found Shawna. She gave me peace of mind that Teddy was in a loving, safe environment. Shawna is kind, professional and very good with older, special needs dogs. I highly recommend her services!”
“Svetlana clearly loves cats and has a spacious apartment that’s great for them to explore. While it could help if they have a few more designated hiding spots, she was thoughtful in helping my cat settle in by finding a cozy spot in her closet, which my cat seems to really enjoy. She was great about sending videos in the first few days, I’d love to see more regular updates throughout the stay, which could make the experience even better. I also really appreciated how she worked with me to stay within my budget. Overall, I’m happy with her care and will definitely use her services again!”
“Dyan is an absolutely amazing dogsitter! She took exceptional care of Ohana and made her feel like a true member of the family. From the moment we met Dyan, I could tell she was in the best hands. A special shout-out to her son Hudson, who was incredible with Ohana—he even brushed her teeth! It’s clear he has a natural gift with animals, and Ohana absolutely adored him. She didn’t just come home happy and well-cared-for… she came home with a new best friend. I can’t recommend Dyan enough. If you’re looking for someone who will love your dog like their own, look no further!”
