“After having a family emergency, I had reached out in extremely short notice to see if Lianna could watch my one year old pup for two nights. She gladly accepted and assured me he was in good care upon drop off. Lianna was great about sending pictures and videos of Zyon which brought more reassurance. Overall would rate this a great experience and I will definitely be sending my puppy back.”
“Exceptional dog sitter! This marks the second time she's cared for our two small dogs, and once again, she surpassed our expectations. She provided daily updates, along with photos. The genuine affection our dogs show for her speaks volumes. Her unwavering availability during our family emergency was a true comfort. She consistently goes above and beyond, making her the go-to choice for anyone in need of a caring and reliable pet sitter. Highly recommend her for a second time and beyond!”
“Tyler and Patricia took very good care of my 5 year old Shiba Inu. I felt very comfortable leaving my baby in their care. They kept me posted about their activities and kind enough to send me pictures of my baby being completely pampered and spoiled. I highly recommend them and will definitely bring Hachi back to them very soon!”
“This is our second time having our dog Coco with Sonia and her daughter and we couldn't be more grateful for all the love and comfort they provided for her. There wasn't a second that we doubted that Coco would be in the utmost care with them. Thank you so much, Sonia. We appreciate you so much!!”
“Veronica and fam were amazing. They came in clutch on last minute emergency trip. I was sent pictures of Molly Mae assuring me that she was being well taken care of. Veronica kept me updated on their day to day and made sure Molly Mae was well and happy. Will definitely book again and will most definitely recommend.”
About: Hi I'm Your Pup's BFF - Trainer Jillian I’ve cared for dogs for over 12 years, starting with dog walking and pet sitting before becoming a professional dog trainer. Over the years, I’ve taught hundreds of dogs and their parents in group classes and private settings, from puppy basics and obedience to enrichment, confidence building, fitness, and more. Being a trainer has made me a better BFF and caregiver because I’ve learned how to read each pup’s body language, comfort level, personality, and little behavior cues. This helps me adjust their care in the moment, whether they need structure, enrichment, reassurance, rest, or a little extra patience. I have experience with puppies, adults, seniors, and pups who need extra support or special-needs care. Your pup will be treated like family — with love, comfort, structure, and plenty of tail wags. Your pup’s care is built into my daily routine, and I keep my bookings intentionally low-volume so every stay is personal, calm, loving, and thoughtfully planned. I’m home with the pups most of the day, and any time away is planned around their care. I do my best to follow your pup’s normal routine for meals, potty breaks, walks, rest, and bedtime so their stay feels familiar and comfortable. Please let me know before booking if your pup cannot comfortably be left alone for more than 4 hours, needs overnight reassurance, is under 8 months old, a senior, or has special needs. This helps me plan the right care setup ahead of time. Some stays may require my puppy care rate if your pup needs extra time, supervision, or hands-on support. With a trainer’s eye and a high standard of safety, I keep each stay structured, cozy, and thoughtfully supervised. Guest pups have safe rest areas with crates, pens, and/or gates for decompression and separation when needed. For their safety and your peace of mind, guest pups are kept separate from other dogs on the property unless calm, supervised hangouts have been thoughtfully approved for returning BFFs. Outdoor time includes leashed walks, sniffy outings, park time, and/or long-line enrichment when appropriate. If your pup has a familiar dog friend they love, let me know and we can talk through whether a pre-approved visit feels safe, comfortable, and doable with the schedule.
“Maritza is the best! Our Bear remembers Maritza and was sooo excited to be here! He didn’t bother looking at us when we dropped him off. We haven’t gone to her in awhile and Bear certainly remembers where to go! He had such a great time. We love all the pictures! Thank you for taking Bear last minute! He has always been in good hands with you!!!”
“This was Ness’s second time watching our pup Pretzel, and she was just as amazing as the first! Pretzel absolutely adores her, and it’s such a comfort knowing she’s in loving, reliable hands. Ness is warm, communicative, and genuinely cares; can’t recommend her enough. We’ll definitely keep coming back!”
“Bethany and her family were complete angels for my two pups who have trauma from being attacked by two large dogs. I worry about my dogs a lot, so Bethany provided updates, photos and was quick to respond when I reached out. Best of all: my pups weren't sure that they wanted to come home when I picked them up! They were so happy and well-cared for! I couldn't have asked for more. Bethany and her family are gems and I will be coming back to them.”
“This was my first time ever using Rover to find a pet sitter and we think we found the pit of gold at the end of the rainbow. Angela was absolutely amazing! My son was extremely worried about leaving his dog with anyone but family for the very first time. But the updates and photos we received put his mind at ease that Pluto was having a great time on his own mini vacation. Thanks to this, we were able to better enjoy our own vacation. I cannot say enough positive things about our first time with Angela and Rover.”
“Joyce was great with our doggies. They seemed to love their stay and interacted well with her dogs. She sent photos and videos everyday to keep us updated. Highly recommend!”
“Thank you so much for taking care of our furry love ones. They were so happy Buster didn’t want to leave. I am very happy to have found you will be first on my list for the next time.”
“Sabrina was a wonderful foster mom to our two large dogs while we were out of the country for two weeks. As it turned out, the two week boarding was the first time our pups had stayed overnight with Sabrina. There was obvious anxiety on how it would work out, but Sabrina's daily contact with meaningful messages and studio-like photos quickly put those fears to rest. The insight she provided on our furry children highlighted the attention she was giving them, and also her ability to speak dog. Allowing us to bring our own XL kennels so our dogs could feel more at home was the first sign of her genuine concern for our dogs comfort. We have our dogs on special meal plans which she had no problem accommodating. By the end of our trip we were afraid the dogs wouldn't want to come home with us! I also appreciate her flexibility in allowing us to adjust drop off and pick up times on relatively short notice. I can't say enough on how wonderful it all turned out, I appreciate having connected with her and having her as our foster mom going forward.”
“She is really the best! It's Mowgli's second stay, I can see how much my dog enjoys staying with Annette. She is very attentive, you can see how much she loves animals. She sends photos and videos daily, which I think is awesome. Annette is wonderful, you can trust! 🐶🥰”
“Miguel was awesome. My dog is not a social dog yet he took care of him so well. His house is very secure with double door. AND he sent us with pictures periodically so we knew how my dog was doing. Definitely we will use him in the future”
“The best experience ever : } Louisette is awesome she genuinley cares for pets and it shows in the way she takes care of them. I am extremely happy that I found such an awesome and dedicated person : } If you have a Pet and want a place for them while you are away Louisette is the person to go to GOD BLESS”
“From the moment I arrive to drop off Charly (my dog) Blanca was very welcoming and comforting to myself and Charly. She’s very respectful and thoughtful when asking and answering question about [your] dog’s care and needs. She sends frequent updates with picture and videos just so you can see how your pup is doing. To add to that her house itself is a dogs dream. She has a front and back yard that’s completely sealed off so the dogs have all the room and freedom to move like a dog in his natural freedom. She will definitely be my go to recurring dog sitter and I’d recommend her to anyone.”
“Eric was such a blessing! We had a last minute trip and were scared to leave her with someone we didn’t know. It didn’t take long for Luna to feel right at home! To the quick responses! Videos and pictures! I definitely was at peace during my vacation! Happy to say we will most DEFINITELY be rebooking! Luna is part of the frenchie crew 🥹❤️”
“I highly recommend Lauren. It was easy to communicate the schedule with her. She is flexible on the hours of pick up which we really appreciate. Her place is spacious and clean. We felt really comfortable leaving our dog with her. She sent a lot of pictures and videos of our dog.”

“Athanasia is an amazing find! I am a first time Rover user and was very nervous. Athanasia put both me and my dog Presley at ease at the meet and greet. We booked her and she dropped in on Presley three days on a row -- doing a great job! She is an excellent communicator and coaxed great smiles from him in home and outside on their walks. Athanasia clearly loves dogs and cares for her Rover pets well. I highly recommend Athanasia and will use her again and again!!”
“Rebecca is awesome! She is very communicative, pays great attention to details, and super sweet too. This is our second time booking with her and it’s been a blessing to have someone we trust and feel comfortable with watching our cats while we are out of town. I would book her more often but I only really go away once a year. She is the first person I’d think of if I need a sitter for any of my cats or dogs.”
About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. Family I'd visit growing up and still visit have had 10 dogs featuring 8 different breeds, including German Shepherds and Pitbulls. I've raised and basic-trained 3 puppy rescues since 2001, saw 2 of them to seniority (Chihuahua and Jack Russel-Chihuahua mix), and raised the most recent (Pug) until 2024 when I blessed close family members with her because they have a huge yard she adores and want her to be happy. I can't wait to fill this place with the vibrant energy only dogs can give! I'm currently in between jobs so I'd be able to give your furbaby all the attention they need. I just need a day's heads up to get a few things sorted and we're all set! Your place or my place? I can go either way! This townhome has a patio your furbaby can sunbathe in with a breeze and shade, or we can keep them inside nice and cool/warm if the weather isn't friendly. If they're less adventurous, I can keep them company at your place where they'd feel more at home.
“Bonnie went above and beyond to take care and interact with both my kitties! I’ve never left them alone for so long, so knowing she was there gave me great peace of mind. Very thorough communicator as well!”

I provide plenty of walks, regular potty breaks, and lots of attention to ensure your furry friend feels happy and cared for. My day starts early at 5 AM, and after work, we enjoy evening walks to the park. I live in a gated community with ample safe space for walking, and weekends are often spent running errands or relaxing.

I live in a gated community plenty of room to walk around. weekends we just run errands They will be free through out the day if we go run a quick errand they might need to be crated but thats usually weekends
About: I’ve taken care of 3 dogs consistently. Friends and family have trusted me with their pets! I have a golden retriever named Berkley who loves to go on walks but prefers to be at the beach! I work a hybrid schedule and love to start the day off with some good exercise with my Goldie! Having my routine helps me to be there for other doggies who also thrive on a good walking routine! I care for my pets by administering treats and such. Berkley is crate trained but we’ve long since ditched the crate and have successfully transitioned to free roaming.
About: I have owned cats for about 6 years now, and I work hard to make sure that he gets the best care, good food, clean water, and brushed daily. I also make sure that his litter box is cleaned after every use. I have also taken care of the stray cats in my yard making sure they get the same care as my own cat, I also make sure they’re healthy so I know my way around getting an unwilling cat their medication.
“Anika is hands-down the best cat sitter we’ve had! From the moment we met her, we knew our cats would be in great hands—and we were absolutely right. Our cats adored her, and it was clear she genuinely cared for them. She struck the perfect balance with her communication—keeping us updated regularly without ever being overbearing. Anika also went above and beyond by asking if there was anything else she could do to help while we were away and took thoughtful initiative whenever needed. Her kind and personable nature made the whole experience so easy and stress-free. We can’t recommend Anika enough and will absolutely be booking her again! Thank you, Anika, for being so wonderful to our fur babies. 😊”
“Bethany did a fabulous job taking care of my furbaby! Tons of great updates and pictures that were much appreciated!!! Would absolutely use Bethany again in the future and highly recommend her!”
About: With years of experience caring for pets of all kinds, I’ve become the go-to sitter for friends, family, and neighbors alike. From energetic pups to chill cats, I’m comfortable managing multiple pets at once! I often house sit for households with four or more pets at a time. I have a natural talent for making animals feel safe, loved, and relaxed while their owners are away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feedings, or cuddles, I’ve got it all covered with care and reliability. As a student with a flexible schedule, I’m able to provide attentive and reliable pet care throughout the week. I often have daytime availability for walks, feedings, and check-ins, and I’m also available for overnight stays. I can adjust to meet your pet’s needs. My top priority is making sure they feel relaxed, safe, and loved while their owner is away. I stick closely to each pet’s routine—whether it’s mealtime, walks, playtime, or quiet cuddles—so they stay comfortable in their own environment. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, building trust with patience and affection. I do everything I can to make them feel secure and cared for, just like they would with their family.
About: I have had my cat okami for 10 years now & he has shown me such a different way of loving & although it is different, I absolutely respect how cats are so selective of who they want around lol I love it because once your accepted it’s almost like a medal you can carry😂. I have rescued multiple cats and found them homes. As well as gathering up strays and getting them spayed/neautured. My home is the home were the neighborhood kittens can call a safe place. I make sure there are blankets, shelter, food, water and sections for them to lounge and nap. It fills my heart with joy walking outside and being able to feel them around and knowing they know it’s safe.
About: Hi!! My name is Alana, and I’ve been lucky enough to be surrounded by animals my entire life! Growing up, my family owned and raised puppies, kittens, bunnies, and even little mice and ratties. I have a deep love and admiration for animals of all shapes and sizes. I currently have two dogs of my own, as well as a cat, so I’m very familiar with daily care routines like walking, feeding, and playtime. I also have experience administering medication to both dogs and cats, both topically and orally. I’ve even cared for and raised kittens almost completely from birth (when mama kitty isn’t able to), which you could say is what turned me into a crazy cat lady. While I’m new to professional caregiving, you can trust that your babies will be treated with the same love and attention I give my own. As a new mom, I’m doing this to build a flexible schedule that allows me to spend more time with my family. I’m so excited to meet your four-legged babies! I keep my prices low so more pet owners can access reliable, loving care without the stress of high costs. I believe every pet deserves quality attention and comfort, and every owner should feel confident leaving them in good hands, no matter their budget. My goal is to provide the same level of care and peace of mind you’d expect at any price point, just at a more accessible rate.

He is a great communicator, and his home is setup as a boarding place, very safe. Will continue using his services!”

“Marina has been absolutely amazing! If you’re looking for someone to take care of your fur babies I highly recommend Marina. My puppy pretzel, isn’t very social, and when I brought her to Marina’s house for a meet up, she wasn’t initially friendly towards the other dogs. However, Marina patiently worked with pretzel and carefully introduced her to the group. I am impressed by Marina’s ability to create a calm and welcoming environment. She is incredibly patient, caring, and always goes the extra mile to help. She’s also flexible with scheduling, which has been a huge help! On top of that, her rates are very reasonable!”
“This was my first time using rover and Elizabeth did a great job with my dog Josie! She was super fast and responsive when I requested the booking. Very thorough with any questions or concerns I had. Very flexible with dropping off and picking up. I could tell that Elizabeth and her family had a great time with Josie and I do not have a single complaint! Overall genuine experience :)”
“Excellent experience from start to finish. Arianna was very attentive and took great care of my dog at all times. She kept me updated in real time, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. Her home is beautiful and the location is great. I would definitely hire her again whenever needed and highly recommend her.”
“Absolutely love taking my girls with Maritza. She’s made me feel at ease since day 1 with tons of updates and pictures. My dogs get home exhausted and so happy! Thank you Maritza!”
About: One thing about me, I genuinely care for your pet. I treat each pet as if they are my own and make sure to show that love and care throughout my time with them. Ive been a dog sitter and walker for over 9 years before joining this app. From puppies to seniors and with different health needs, I have the experience needed to take care of your pup. I now live in South Gate in a home with a fenced-in yard with convenient access to freeways and streets for easy commute. I understand the needs of different types of dogs from the overly friendly to very reactive and can accommodate to the dog’s needs accordingly. I currently have a 10 year-old husky and 1 year-old chihuahua mix I take care of at home. I’m currently in between jobs and have a lot of time on my hands. My time is most free during business hours but I am happy to accommodate to your scheduling needs. I currently live in an apartment. While it is a bit cramped, my husky is not territorial in the least and guest pups have an easy time accommodating to the space. If I am in someone else’s home, I will make sure to adhere to the rules and guidelines they provide me to take care of their pup(s).

About: I've taken care of two of my childhood dogs I had, Rottweiler breed.As well for my Belgian Shepard named Lola and my bunny named mochii. Im currently a college student and have a part time job as well so I can absolutely care for your fur babies in between my schedule or my spare time. Your dog’s safety is always my top priority.

I avoid high-traffic areas and unsafe environments and always adjust walks based on weather conditions.
About: I've grown up and taken care of dogs since I was 8 years old. From family to friends I've been able to watch, walk, play, take care, and feed everyone's pets. I have my own dog named Dexter who is a 5 year old Dachsund mix. He was rescued from a breeder/hoarder house in Riverside and in the beginning he was very anxious, shy, timid, and afraid of people. Now my boy is happy, enjoys cuddling, and is able to be around people that love and care about him. I'm currently waiting on training for a full time job in July so right now my schedule is open from Monday to Saturday. Besides caring for my own dog who is super friendly with other dogs my schedule is open at the moment and will work with people's schedule to give their dog the care and attention they deserve. I currently live in an apartment with a patio and in the back is a grass yard for everyone to share. I always make sure my dog has his walks everyday and sometimes I'll take him to the dog park which he loves. Give him his breakfast and dinner as scheduled. Clean his ears as well as bathe him when its needed. Along with making sure he takes his vitamins each day. For other dogs I would do as requested walk, feed, play, and give them attention or space if needed.

This townhome has a patio your furbaby can sunbathe in with a breeze and shade, or we can keep them inside nice and cool/warm if the weather isn't friendly. If they're less adventurous, I can keep them company at your place where they'd feel more at home.
About: I’ve always loved dogs and have had two of my own and taken care of them their whole life, from long walks at the park, beach’s, bathing, vet appointments, grooming and playing with them until we’re both tired. I had my first dog until he was 12 and unfortunately passed due to cancer and had to take care of him while he was going through it. I work part time mostly at nights so I’m available to walk dogs during the morning and day time. I’m available on weekends and during the weekdays as well When I had my own two dogs I would make sure that they were kept safe in the backyard as well as inside and that they always had plenty of food and water and toys to play around and had fun.
“Julio is great with dogs, as soon as my pitt saw him he liked him and that put me at ease since I will be traveling for a week. He made me feel very comfortable and my dog, I don't think I could've find a better person for this job!”
About: I’ve grown up in a home with 5+ pets at all times, including dogs, cats, rabbits, reptiles, and fish. This hands-on experience has made me comfortable with a wide range of animal needs, from feeding routines to basic care and handling.

Currently I am a Starbucks Barista, I typically work late afternoon closing shifts. I am off by 9:30. I’m available to come in before and after work to check up on your furry friends <3. Growing up with multiple pets, I’m very attentive to creating a safe and stress-free environment. I follow routines carefully, including feeding, walks, and any special care instructions. I make sure pets feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for at all times. I also pay close attention to behavior and keep owners updated so they feel confident and at ease while they’re away.
“Thank you Andrew! Harley didn’t behave so well on his walk but Andrew was very quick to call me and find a resolution. I appreciate his fast response and good attitude even though the walk got cut short.”

About: Throughout my life I have had all kinds of pets, from bunnies to iguanas. I really love caring for animals because they are a part of my family. Currently my family has 2 cats and 2 dogs which I care for and love dearly. I take them on walks and to the beach, i would treat your fur baby as if it were my own. I currently work part time so my availability is pretty open. Since I live with my family if I spend the night taking care of a dog it wouldn’t me an issue because my pets will be taken care of. I’ve also lived in Los Angeles my entire life, and love exploring new dog parks and dog beaches. Whenever I am watching over a clients pet I also make sure to keep an extra careful eye on them because I know that the absence of their own already has them on edge. I just want to be able to give you a safe piece of mind and don’t worry I will send pictures for updates
About: I’ve been a proud pet parent to my own dog and cat for years, giving them daily walks, playtime, feedings, and lots of love. I’ve cared for friends’ and family members’ pets countless times — everything from energetic puppies needing basic training and lots of exercise to senior dogs requiring gentle walks, medication administration, and extra patience.What sets me apart? I’m a local Downey guy who’s always on time, super reliable, and treat every pet like my own family member. I’m great at reading their energy (whether they need high-energy play or chill cuddles), sending daily photo/video updates so owners never worry, and keeping homes spotless. Plus, my flexible schedule means I’m available for last-minute bookings or overnight stays. Your pets will get safe, fun, and loving care every time! Pet care easily fits into my flexible daily and weekly routine. As a full-time real estate professional and local Downey resident, my schedule is adaptable — I’m often out showing properties or running errands around town, which makes drop-ins, walks, and midday check-ins super convenient. Mornings and evenings are wide open for longer walks, playtime, feedings, or overnight stays. I typically block out time for pet clients first thing so they always get my full attention and energy. Weekends are especially flexible for boarding or extended visits. I treat every booking like it’s my own pet — reliable, on-time, and with plenty of updates so owners can relax. Whether it’s a quick 30-minute drop-in or multi-day house-sitting, I make sure it works seamlessly with my day. I always put safety and comfort first, whether I’m at your home or hosting in mine. In your home (drop-ins, walks, house-sitting): I follow your exact instructions to the letter — feeding schedule, medication, walk routes, play preferences, and any house rules. I keep your place spotless (no mess left behind), secure all doors/windows, and send plenty of photo/video updates so you can relax. I’m fully background-checked and treat every home like my own. For boarding/overnight stays in my Downey home: My place is pet-proofed — no dangerous items within reach, secure yard/fencing, cozy crates and beds available, and separate areas if needed for multiple pets. I maintain a calm, clean environment with regular cleaning, fresh water always available, and lots of playtime and cuddles. Pets get my full attention — no leaving them alone for long periods. I’m happy to accommodate special needs like puppy energy, senior mobility, or anxious pets with extra patience. Your fur baby’s safety and happiness is my top priority — they’ll come home happy and tired!

About: Hello!! My name is Karen and I have been caring for dogs, bunnies & cats since I was young. My very first gift from my parents was an 8 pound chihuahua and she became my top priority. She was with me for 18 sweet years. Later I was blessed to care for three beautiful bunnies for 14 years, I have also been a dog mom to the most beautiful boy that I adopted & his name was kodama. I shared 9 wonderful years with him and 2 years ago he passed and it’s been my greatest loss. I now have only one cat that has me wrapped around his paw☺️. I am passionate about the care of every little soul that I can share a memory with. My priority will always be the pet that I am trusted with. I am currently running a pet essentials online store & am absolutely passionate about animals & their care. I’m reachable at any time so feel free to connect at your convenience! I am currently not able to offer services in my home, but I am offering overnight pet sitting that would take place at clients home. The pet and myself will stay in designated areas, I am mindful of their presence and stay vigilant on knowing what they are up to at all times, even if I might be on my computer or cleaning up etc, they know they’re the star of the show.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I have three of my own, but I’ve also helped take care of so many others, from family, friends, and even the seniors I’ve worked with and their pets. Dogs bring me so much joy, and I honestly treat every one like they’re mine. Whether they’re playful or shy, young or old, I give them all the love, patience, and attention they need. Taking care of animals isn’t just a job for me, it’s something I genuinely care about with my whole heart. I just graduated high school, and now that school and volleyball are behind me, I finally have the time to do what I love, spending my days with animals! My schedule is super flexible this summer, so I’m available during the week, weekends, and even for long days or last-minute needs. Whatever works best for you, I’ll do my best to make it happen. I’m so excited to fill my days with tail wags, playtime, and lots of love! At my home, your pup will have plenty of space to play and feel comfortable. I have a great backyard that’s perfect for running around, and I’m just a mile away from two parks that I’m always happy to visit if your dog loves getting out for walks and fresh air. I also have three very playful, friendly dogs who absolutely love having company. But if your dog prefers their own space, no worries, my dogs are happy to relax while your pup has the spotlight. I’ll always make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and right at home.
About: As a division 2 level athlete, fitness is very important to me. Because of this, I’ll keep your dogs happy, and healthy! Not only that, but growing up with several dogs and cats has given me all the confidence and experience to take excellent care of your pets! I go on a run every morning and a walk every evening and would enjoy the company of your lovely pets! Additionally, I’m home from college for the summer and have plenty of time to prioritize caring for your pets!! Care that’s catered to both you the owner’s peace of mind, as well as your pet’s well being! In addition to the basics, you can trust that any special instructions given to me in order to best support you and your pets needs will be followed meticulously!
About: I’ve taken care of 3 dogs consistently. Friends and family have trusted me with their pets! I have a golden retriever named Berkley who loves to go on walks but prefers to be at the beach! I work a hybrid schedule and love to start the day off with some good exercise with my Goldie! Having my routine helps me to be there for other doggies who also thrive on a good walking routine! I care for my pets by administering treats and such. Berkley is crate trained but we’ve long since ditched the crate and have successfully transitioned to free roaming.

“After having a family emergency, I had reached out in extremely short notice to see if Lianna could watch my one year old pup for two nights. She gladly accepted and assured me he was in good care upon drop off. Lianna was great about sending pictures and videos of Zyon which brought more reassurance. Overall would rate this a great experience and I will definitely be sending my puppy back.”
“Tyler and Patricia took very good care of my 5 year old Shiba Inu. I felt very comfortable leaving my baby in their care. They kept me posted about their activities and kind enough to send me pictures of my baby being completely pampered and spoiled. I highly recommend them and will definitely bring Hachi back to them very soon!”
About: Hi I'm Your Pup's BFF - Trainer Jillian I’ve cared for dogs for over 12 years, starting with dog walking and pet sitting before becoming a professional dog trainer. Over the years, I’ve taught hundreds of dogs and their parents in group classes and private settings, from puppy basics and obedience to enrichment, confidence building, fitness, and more. Being a trainer has made me a better BFF and caregiver because I’ve learned how to read each pup’s body language, comfort level, personality, and little behavior cues. This helps me adjust their care in the moment, whether they need structure, enrichment, reassurance, rest, or a little extra patience. I have experience with puppies, adults, seniors, and pups who need extra support or special-needs care. Your pup will be treated like family — with love, comfort, structure, and plenty of tail wags. Your pup’s care is built into my daily routine, and I keep my bookings intentionally low-volume so every stay is personal, calm, loving, and thoughtfully planned. I’m home with the pups most of the day, and any time away is planned around their care. I do my best to follow your pup’s normal routine for meals, potty breaks, walks, rest, and bedtime so their stay feels familiar and comfortable. Please let me know before booking if your pup cannot comfortably be left alone for more than 4 hours, needs overnight reassurance, is under 8 months old, a senior, or has special needs. This helps me plan the right care setup ahead of time. Some stays may require my puppy care rate if your pup needs extra time, supervision, or hands-on support. With a trainer’s eye and a high standard of safety, I keep each stay structured, cozy, and thoughtfully supervised. Guest pups have safe rest areas with crates, pens, and/or gates for decompression and separation when needed. For their safety and your peace of mind, guest pups are kept separate from other dogs on the property unless calm, supervised hangouts have been thoughtfully approved for returning BFFs. Outdoor time includes leashed walks, sniffy outings, park time, and/or long-line enrichment when appropriate. If your pup has a familiar dog friend they love, let me know and we can talk through whether a pre-approved visit feels safe, comfortable, and doable with the schedule.
“Maritza is the best! Our Bear remembers Maritza and was sooo excited to be here! He didn’t bother looking at us when we dropped him off. We haven’t gone to her in awhile and Bear certainly remembers where to go! He had such a great time. We love all the pictures! Thank you for taking Bear last minute! He has always been in good hands with you!!!”
“This was Ness’s second time watching our pup Pretzel, and she was just as amazing as the first! Pretzel absolutely adores her, and it’s such a comfort knowing she’s in loving, reliable hands. Ness is warm, communicative, and genuinely cares; can’t recommend her enough. We’ll definitely keep coming back!”
“Sabrina was a wonderful foster mom to our two large dogs while we were out of the country for two weeks. As it turned out, the two week boarding was the first time our pups had stayed overnight with Sabrina. There was obvious anxiety on how it would work out, but Sabrina's daily contact with meaningful messages and studio-like photos quickly put those fears to rest. The insight she provided on our furry children highlighted the attention she was giving them, and also her ability to speak dog. Allowing us to bring our own XL kennels so our dogs could feel more at home was the first sign of her genuine concern for our dogs comfort. We have our dogs on special meal plans which she had no problem accommodating. By the end of our trip we were afraid the dogs wouldn't want to come home with us! I also appreciate her flexibility in allowing us to adjust drop off and pick up times on relatively short notice. I can't say enough on how wonderful it all turned out, I appreciate having connected with her and having her as our foster mom going forward.”
