“Wenchi was very caring and attentive to my cat- sent me lots of pictures everyday so I was never worried about her. Perfect transitions of dropping off and picking her up- my vacation was much more relaxing knowing that my cat was safe and sound. Thank you!! I will definitely be booking again in the future 😸”
“Sherry immediately responded to our request. We set up a greet and meet within days and Sherry made us feel very welcomed. This was the first time Reina was boarded and we were told she did great - thanks to Sherry”
“Giezell and her family were amazing with our puppy. She accepted our very last minute request and even kept her a few hours extra when we wanted to spend more time in Tahoe for our son’s bday. She sent pictures and videos the entire time, took her for a walk and our puppy didn’t want to leave. Would def recommend her!!!”
“Randi and her family are a great temporary home for your dogs. They treated our dog Toby like their own with love and care. We will gladly bring him back to them in the future and we will recommend Randi to our friends and family!”
“Lupe was absolutely wonderful with our service dog. She accepted him at the last minute during the holidays, which was truly a godsend for me since he’s always by my side. She understood that he’s a bit spoiled and treated him with so much care and kindness. She even sent us pictures and videos, which really eased my mind. I will definitely be recommending her. I can’t thank her enough.”
“Sandra and his family are very welcoming and kind. My adult dog has not been in a dog daycare for a long while, and she might've been so nervous being away from us. I was told that she was peeing everywhere in the house, but they still took care of her lovingly. Sandra and her family is dog friendly and I appreciate her flexibility in dropping off and picking up.”
“Marya had our two young Frenchies overnight for their first time away from home. She sent us pictures and a video of them settling in and getting acquainted with her larger dog. She was very thoughtful in handling our little ones and communicated really well with us. We are planning to use her for a longer trip in just a few weeks.”
“My Near just returned from an amazing 4 day holiday at Jacqueline's house , filled with all the cuddles from her sweet son, tasty treats (with my permission) and amazing care. I didn't worry one second because I received update messages and pictures in the morning and evening to update me on how Bear slept (in the morning) and how her day was (in the evening). Punctual, loving , excellent communication and receptive. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!! Will be rebooking again!!!”
“Gidget had a blast staying a few days at Michael and Melissa's home. Bonus...she got to play with kids, Mr Bubbles and a bird!!!! Michael and Melissa were very accommodating. Gidget is looking forward to the next visit! Highly recommend for your furry family member if it's for a day or several days!”
“Kirsten was great!! She was kind and communicative by sending me pics/vids with updates and was very reassuring as it was my first time having my boy away from home. I would definitely trust her to watch him again, 10/10”
“Jessica was incredible!! Twitch came back rested and calm, Jessica provided pictures and updates nearly everyday . We enjoyed our vacation without any stress knowing our dog was in such good hands. Would definitely board with Jessica in the future! Thanks again!”
“Edward had another wonderful stay with Jessie. He gets so excited when he sees her. He’s so much happier staying with her than at a boarding kennel and she takes great care of him.”
“Anthony is top-notch! He took great care of our King Charles Cavalier for four days. Anthony sent lots of pictures and videos of our dog playing with his dog, Kai. He took our dog on many walks to the local park and played fetch with the dogs his backyard. Anthony was very flexible with pickup/drop off times and had everything ready to go when it was time to take our dog home. I highly recommend Anthony for dog boarding and we will be rebooking with him in a few weeks.”
“Erica was amazing with my pup! She was patient and understanding. She was very flexible with me and Wren and I felt very comfortable with her the first time we met! I will definitely be booking with her again!!”
“A very nice girl who tried her best to nurture and console my not very willing dogs. 😄 she did a great job and sent lots of videos and messages to keep me up to date with how they were doing… they loved her and had fun playing with her two sweet dogs. I definitely recommend her!”
“Reginay was awesome! Our original rover cancelled last minute and Reginay was able to board nala during our 11 day cruise. She was extremely responsive and caring and was understanding when we arrived late. We will definitely be working with her again.”

About: While I've not cared for a cat of my own, I've had years of experience caring for friends' and neighbors' cats before providing cat care services on Rover. I always let the cat dictate the level of engagement--if he or she wants to play or cuddle, I love to dole out pets and playtime, but I also respect when cats want less interaction.
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and the experience that comes from owning and caring for many pets myself. Animals truly bring me joy, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I understand how important trust, patience, and attention are, and I’m committed to making sure your pets feel safe, loved, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
“Audrey went above and beyond! I felt really great with my cats in her care. She made sure each cat was taken care of, had their medication….and I even got some sweet photos! I rebooked Audrey immediately for my next vacation. Thank you!”
About: Hi there! I've been a pet lover since I can remember, and caring for animals has always been my passion. Whether it's a playful pup or a wise old friend, I've looked after them all. Now, with my own furry family members – 2 cats – I understand firsthand the bond we share with our pets. When your pet is with me, they're not just a client; they're part of my extended fur family. Let's make their time away from home as fun and comfortable as possible! I am available weekdays 4 PM - 8 PM, Friday nights, and all day on weekends — your pet's care is my top priority, ensured! In both my home and yours, safety, trust, and comfort are my priorities for your pet. I create a welcoming environment with cozy bedding and plenty of enrichment. Your pet's well-being is my focus, providing them with love and attention throughout their stay.
“Ashley was amazing! Would definitely have her watch our pups again! We had a situation came up and Ashley was so helpful and flexible with our changes! Can’t wait to use her again!”
About: I grew up with three cats and helped take care of them. I also have experience looking after my friends and family’s cats. I absolutely love hanging out with cats and their personalities. I’m also good with cats from all ages and temperaments!
About: I have two cats of my own and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for your pet while you're away. I'll make sure your cat receives plenty of attention, affection, and care, and I'll always follow your instructions to help keep them happy and comfortable.
About: As a lifelong cat owner, I understand that every cat has their own unique personality and routine. Some cats love attention and playtime, while others prefer quiet companionship and their own space. I take the time to get to know each cat and provide care that makes them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll make sure your cat’s food and water are fresh, clean the litter box thoroughly, monitor for any changes in behavior, and spend quality time with them based on their comfort level. Whether your cat enjoys chasing toys, getting chin scratches, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll provide the care they need. I’ll also send plenty of photo updates so you can relax knowing your cat is happy and well cared for.
About: I’ve had at least one dog for 13 years and two dogs for 5 of those. My girlfriend has 4 cats. I love all my animals! Easy or hard, it doesn’t matter. I’ll take on a challenge because all pets deserve maximum love and care. I am working full time during the week right now, but weekends are wide open. There is no time that does not work for me! When I walk dogs, I will be fully vigilant of their behavior, mood, and surroundings. When I do drop in visits, I will follow all instructions given to me by pet parents. I will give all animals love and respect.
About: From an early age, I lived with cats. Some people aren't "cat people"; I'm the opposite. Whether the shy type or the snuggle muffin, I adore cats. Recently rescued two ferals who are now (6 years later) the sweetest, happiest love bugs. I'll enjoy every moment with your cats. And they'll quickly look forward to my visits. I feel bad for people who aren't cat people. They're missing out!
About: As a professional research associate preparing to begin my PhD, I bring an exceptional level of detail, structure, and reliability to pet care. I am a fellow dog owner with extensive experience that ranges from house sitting cats and dogs to managing high energy environments with up to four dogs at once. Because I understand firsthand the daily routines and unique personalities of animals, I treat your pets with the exact same patience and care I give my own. My organized schedule ensures your home is fully respected and your furry family members receive dedicated companionship while you are away. As a research associate and incoming PhD student, my weekends are completely free for pet care. I love balancing fun, active time with animals alongside quiet study hours during their downtime. I’ve managed everything from single cats to packs of four dogs. I’ll give your pets the structured, reliable companionship they need while keeping your home perfectly respected. When staying in your home, I treat your space and your pets with the utmost respect. I strictly abide by all house rules, seamlessly maintain your pet’s established routines, and am always happy to keep things tidy by doing quick chores like vacuuming up pet hair before you get back.

Perfect for high energy dogs - El Rio Villa
Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: Besides caring for my own dog for nearly 13 years, including nearly a year of hospice care, I also have experience volunteering at animal sanctuaries and cat-sitting for roommates and neighbors. I consider companion animals to be family members, and the care I provide reflects that belief. I work from home, and my schedule is flexible, so I’m easily able to accommodate anything an animal in my care needs. I can provide multiple walks, feedings, and potty breaks a day, whether at your house or mine. Because I work remotely, I’m able to keep your dog or cat company all day. I have a fenced backyard, though it’s small, and I live near a dog park. I have a small crate and a larger soft-sided kennel that can be used if that’s something that makes your dog feel more comfortable; otherwise, pets are free to roam and are welcomed on furniture. I have steps to help smaller or senior dogs get on the couch, and there’s a dog bed in every room of my house. I only board for one client at a time, so your dog(s) will have my full attention while you're away, and you'll never have to worry about interactions with other pets. In addition to the Rover Guarantee, I'm also privately insured as a pet-sitter through PCI, so your pets are well-covered.
“It was Lily's first time with a pet sitter and she loved it! Giezell took us last-minute and accommodated our schedule. She kept us updated with photos and videos through the day. We're glad to have found a family that Lily can visit again!”
“Marya is incredible!! I got tons of pictures, she was communicative, warm, and immediately made me feel comfortable leaving my most prized possession with her. I’ll absolutely be booking again!”
About: I have been watching friends pets since I have had dogs. I also was a trainer for Remedy Retrievers so I know what it’s like to be around a puppy 24/7. I currently work from home. And when I am working, regardless if I’m at home or out in the field, my boyfriend will take over. I have a fenced yard with two very friend golden retrievers. Georgia is 2 and Randy is 1. We have a dog door for frequent potty breaks and our yard is very secure so there’s no chance of your dog getting out. Our house is all hard word so if you’re worried about accidents, it’s easy clean up. Georgia (my dog) loves new friends. She frequents the dog park so she is used to always meeting new faces!
“Wonderful home away from home for my little guy. The property is perfect for doggy day care with plenty of open space and animals to keep your pups curious. Lacey is extremely accommodating and a true animal lover!”
“Maria took fantastic care of Sybil! I got regular updates and I got to come home to an incredibly happy and tired dog. I can't recommend her enough! Thanks again for everything, we'll definitely book again in the future!”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with about five years of hands-on pet sitting experience. Growing up around animals has given me a natural comfort with them, and over the years I've cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Some of the breeds I've looked after include Golden Retrievers, Chihuahuas, Beagles, Corgis, and plenty of wonderful mixed breeds. I've also cared for cats here and there—and while I'm slightly allergic, that has never stopped me from giving them the love and attention they deserve. One of my most memorable experiences was caring for nine pets at the same time alongside my girlfriend: two cats, three adult rescue dogs, and four brand-new puppies. It definitely kept us busy, but it reinforced how much I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure each one receives the care, patience, and attention they need. I know how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! I recently graduated from UC Davis and am currently in an in-between stage before starting the next chapter of my career. That means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pets. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or your cat prefers a calm companion, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I currently live in an apartment complex in Davis with no fenced in yard but a lot of great walking paths nearby as well as a big park for some running around if they want to play some ball! There are also no other pets in the home.
About: Hey there! I’m a lifelong animal lover, rescue founder, and experienced pet sitter. I’ve worked in animal shelters, vet clinics, and now run my own animal rescue, Rowdy Sisters Rescue Co. — so caring for animals is literally my full-time life! We have a fenced yard, a dog-friendly home, and separate rooms for dogs who need their own space. Whether your pup loves cuddles, a structured routine, or just a quiet place to relax, they’ll feel right at home here. I’m experienced with seniors, puppies, meds, shy dogs, and high-energy breeds. Your dog will be treated like family — with plenty of love, playtime, and updates while you’re away. I’m home full-time and run my own nonprofit animal rescue, so caring for animals is built into my daily routine. From feeding and exercise to playtime, training, and medication — I’m hands-on with dogs all day, every day. I also have a fenced yard, separate spaces for breaks or quiet time, and a structured but loving routine that keeps everyone happy and safe. Whether it’s my own pack or Rover pups, I treat every dog like family. I treat your home and pets with total respect and care. I stick to your routine, provide lots of updates, and make sure your dog feels safe and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s drop-ins or house sitting, I give each pet the same love and structure I give my own.
“Haruka and Daniel were wonderful, and incredibly kind! My dog Sybil had a little trouble with some anxiety after I left and they did a great job keeping her comfortable despite it and keeping me updated. By the time I got there she was right at home and ready to play! We'd definitely love to book again next time!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of love, patience, and personalized care I give every dog as if they were my own. I understand that every pup has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to make sure they feel safe, happy, and at home while you’re away. I have experience caring for puppies who need extra attention, structure, potty training support, and plenty of playtime, as well as senior dogs who require a calmer environment, medication administration, slower walks, and gentle care. I’m attentive to body language, behavior, and individual needs, which helps dogs quickly build trust and feel comfortable with me. Whether your dog is energetic and playful, shy and anxious, or older and needing extra patience, I provide reliable supervision, lots of affection, consistent communication, and a clean, stress-free environment. My goal is not just to “watch” your pet it’s to give them a positive experience where they feel loved, secure, and excited to come back. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work part-time and mainly from home, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I’m able to maintain a flexible schedule for walks, potty breaks, feeding times, playtime, and cuddle time, while also making sure each pet sticks to their normal routine as closely as possible. Since I’m home most of the time, pets are rarely left alone for long periods, which helps them feel comfortable, safe, and less anxious while their owners are away. I truly enjoy having animals around and make their care a priority in my everyday life, giving them lots of love, patience, and one on one attention. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable home environment where dogs are treated like part of the family. Since I work part-time and mainly from home, I’m able to give pets plenty of supervision, attention, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Dogs staying in my home are welcome to roam freely and relax comfortably in the house rather than being confined, helping them feel more at ease and at home during their stay. I can also crate dogs if requested by the owner or if it’s part of the dog’s normal routine for sleeping, feeding, or downtime. I always prioritize safety by carefully monitoring interactions, maintaining a calm environment, and following each dog’s specific care instructions, routines, dietary needs, and comfort levels. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, stress free, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind knowing their dog is in good hands.
About: I'm a very responsible pet parent to my own senior Maltese. I can provide medication as necessary since I'm aware of the medical needs of my own. Not working at the moment and want to spend time with my dog and other babies as much as I am able to. I would treat your dogs as much as I care for my own. I have a fenced yard and parks in the area. This is a very dog friendly community. Regular potty breaks and walks are the norm for my house.
About: Grew up in an environment surrounded by dogs and cats and have always loved caring for animals. I am reliable, attentive, and comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and providing plenty of affection to help pets feel at ease. Pet care fits well into my routine. I am completely free on Mondays. I work from home Wednesday and Friday, and am available after 430pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays, as well as on all day weekends. I enjoy spending time with animals and can provide dependable care, including walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of attention. I treat every pet as if they were my own and follow all instructions provided by the owner. I prioritize safety, maintain a clean environment, ensure pets have fresh water, meals, exercise, and attention, and provide updates so owners can feel confident their pets are well cared for while away.
“Matthew was great with our dog! He was able to accommodate us at the last minute, and provided a great place for our dog to stay. We would recommend him and hope to use him again the future.”
“My dog spent the day at Lupe’s today and left happy. Lupe had great hospitality. She gave me a little tour of where my dog would be spending his time and asked questions about his needs/personality when I dropped him off. The indoor area is very specious and has a gate to separate some dogs from others based on temperament. My dog was showing signs of possessiveness over his toy so she was proactive about giving him his own space away from the other dogs. She said when the dogs weren’t outside playing he chose to spend his time right next to her while she worked. Lupe sent pictures and gave a recap of how he played well outside with other dogs and was fed separately.”
“We had Shanna and her husband watch our yorkie for the day and it was great! She texted updates throughout the day and our dog came back very happy and it made it a stress free day for us humans!!”

About: I’ve taken care of many different dog breeds and sizes, each with individual needs. I grew up with dogs and cats and have experience from bottle feeding newborn kittens to giving medications to senior pets. My schedule is very flexible, offering pet parents with a variety of pet care support to meet their needs. I work with clients to provide a schedule that works for them. Having fur family members in my home already does not allow for me to provide in my home support. I provide my pet clients with detailed notes on their pet followed by pictures, putting pet owners at ease while away from their fur babe/babies.
About: Besides caring for my own dog for nearly 13 years, including nearly a year of hospice care, I also have experience volunteering at animal sanctuaries and cat-sitting for roommates and neighbors.

“I had a great experience with Jackson walking my dog, Maggy. He was reliable, communicative, and sensitive to her needs—especially as a senior dog. It gave me real peace of mind knowing she was in such caring hands during the day. I look forward to booking him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker.”
About: I love dogs (cats, too). Dogs want love, praise and attention and I know they want to be good.... they just need to be given the chance and the right cues to correct behavior. I have my own dogs and I round up strays and fosters to set them up with their forever homes. I am also a homeowner and I know what it feels like to invite a guest worker (pet sitter) into your home and have them not respect or take care of things (pet and home) the way they promised. I promise to look after your pet and your home and I can be your eyes and ears if something is up that you need to know about. I am a full time pet carer. I’m responsible, flexible and reliable. I can usually agree to same day assignments for walking, visiting or overnight care. When I’m with your dogs, I’m interacting with them, even if we’re just hanging out. Pets needs always come first! Some dogs don’t need walking… they might need a long visit with play. Sometimes they need belly rubs and snuggles. I also provide fresh water every visit so they’re never out.
About: I've cared for many pets since I was 8 yrs old. I earn pets trust easily & will care for them like they are my own. I've done multiple overnights with pets & the owners keep asking for me back. I have a dog of my own for 9 years, which I had potty trained him in a month, and he is versed in multiple commands. I have worked with puppies to senior dogs and the same for kittens to senior cats. I have also taken care of multiple pets with special needs and/or requirements that were met really well according to their owners. Lastly, I love photography and am pretty decent with capturing photos of pets. I have a pretty open schedule. I can make multiple trips over or stay over depending on the needs required. I understand the need for constant potty breaks throughout the day and have much experience with walking a dog. I will care for your pet like it is my own with love, intentially, compassion, and trust. I will make individual time for each pet providing love, care, and affection based on the level the client and pet are comfortable with. I would like to set up a meeting with the owner/s and pet/s in person to get a better idea of what is being asked of me and get to know everyone involved especially your pet/s first before I can agree to care and services. This gives me a better idea if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for and provide extra attention to. Also if there is specific routines you have in place for your pet/s that I can try to learn and follow to provide the best experience for your pet/pets, while giving the owner/s peace of mind while they are gone. I am a hard-worker and detail-oriented. I strive to complete every task required of me and am respectful of other's space, home, and belongs. My general practice is to try to keep a place neat and tidy, by clean up after myself, and after a pet/s, such as picking up dog poop and will also consider cleaning up puke.

About: Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. As a pet owner, I care for my playful puppy, Milo, and my kitten, Whillow, every day. I have experience with feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, basic puppy care, and making pets feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I know every pet has a unique personality, so I take the time to learn their routine and provide care that’s tailored to them. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll treat them with patience, kindness, and respect. I’ll also send photo updates and communicate throughout every visit so you always know your pet is happy and well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, and I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable, attentive care throughout the day. I’m available on weekdays and weekends for drop-in visits and dog walks. I do my best to accommodate last-minute requests whenever possible and will always communicate clearly if my availability changes. My goal is to make sure your pet stays on their normal routine while you’re away. I understand that trusting someone with both your pet and your home is a big decision, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll carefully follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, medication instructions (if needed), and any special requests. During every visit, I’ll make sure your pet has fresh water, receives plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, and I’ll always leave your home clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. You’ll receive photo updates and messages after each visit so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: I'm a lifelong animal lover and have cared for many dogs and cats. I have owned and provided care for both young and senior pets and those needing special care. Your cherished pets will get lots of TLC, affection and exercise, and I will care for them as if they were my own! I am retired and have a very flexible schedule to care for your cherished pets. I provide drop-ins, walks, daily, and overnight services in your home. I will provide lots of TLC for your cherished pets in your home. I will play with them, feed them, and meet all their needs, including special diets and needed medication. I will walk your dogs and take them to the dog park if you wish. I will diligently follow your instructions and guidance and will treat your pets as if they were my own.
About: I’ve grown with and provided care for dogs since I can remember! My family had my soul dog (a boxer) until she was 15, so I know good care from bad! I’m currently raising and training an 8.5 month old Great Dane mix who loves ALL! I also have a 3 yr old nosey kitty. They get along great and I know will welcome your pups with wagging tails!! I am a full time government employee but I have lots of flexibility in my schedule! I work from home once a week, and have every other Friday off. Weekends are typically spent at home. If a safe space for your pup is what you’re looking for, I know my home can be that place! I have a fenced in yard, a dog run attached to the garage with a large crate/bed for comfort, toys and water and a large crate indoors as well, if some alone time is warranted. There are no doggy doors in my home so they will only be let out when I warrant it, less room for escapes! I don’t have any children, so we’re a fairly quiet home as well.
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes—small, medium, and large. I’ve worked with pups from the puppy stage all the way through their senior years. I truly love being around dogs, and I’ve never met one that didn’t warm up to me. I’d say I have great dog energy and always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’m currently a student pilot and typically fly 2–3 times during the week, usually on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. My flight lessons are about 2.5 hours, so I’m still able to fit dog care into my schedule on those days. I’m most available throughout the day on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and weekends. I’m happy to work with you and your pup’s schedule! I treat every dog I care for as if they were my own. I pay close attention to each dog’s unique needs, personality, and routine to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I always prioritize a calm, trustworthy environment where pets can relax and enjoy their time with me.
About: I worked as a behavioral tech for over a year where I learned all about behavioral training. I’ve had great success with my own dog at home. We have almost always had a dog in my house and know how important of a family member they are. I dog sit for several families when they go on vacation and have been doing this for about a year or so. My background is with children and have a lot of patience and love as a result! I am available full time as of right now. If this changes, I will update my availability ASAP. I wouldn’t be away from the home for very long most of the time. Any occasion where I would be away from the home for a significant amount of time, I would first make sure that the dog was completely cared for (fed, watered, pottied, and played with) before leaving. I will not be providing care in my own home. However, I do know of a dog park in the area as well as public parks for walks.
About: I have cared for dogs, cats, horses, ferrets, fish, birds and even raccoons! I’m a huge animal lover! I’ve had a dog since I was born and the love of animals has been instilled in me from my family! I have three dogs of my own and I love them more than anything! I am a full time nurse so I do dog walking and check ins on the side. But please don’t let that stop you from sending me a request! If I can make it work I will! Please reach out. Having three dogs of my own helps me to understand how important it is to provide the best care to our pets and to give them all the love and attention possible! I have three fur babies of my own, pet safety is one of the most important things for me. I am always cautious around other animals when out walking. Leash is always on and I would always follow your directions as you know your animals best!
About: I have experience watching many different types of dogs and cats. I have fostered a puppy as well as dog sat for many different breeds and ages. I grew up with cats and have also cared for many different personalities! I love animals and am so happy to help look after yours! I have a lot of free time this summer so I’m very flexible with different schedules! I just have an internship on Wednesday’s in the afternoon. I have experience with many different animals and owners. So I’m open to different types of care just let me know your needs and I’m happy to accommodate them!!!
About: I have over 3 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, including my own two cats and helping care for a high-energy Labrador Retriever. Whether it's dog walking, drop-in visits, or pet sitting, I'll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, meals, fresh water, and lots of love. I'm happy to follow your pet's routine and provide photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I have a flexible schedule, so I can spend quality time with your pets and give them the care they deserve. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! I recently graduated, so I currently have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets. I'm available on weekdays, weekends, and for overnight stays, and I'll do my best to accommodate last-minute requests whenever possible. I take my dog on long walks and throw the ball around in our backyard because she has a lot of energy and I want to give her a lot of exercise. Our cats are very demanding on their feeding schedule, so I make sure I am on top of that.
About: I have been dog-sitting since I was a child. Anytime my neighbors went out of town, they would ask me to take care of their dogs such as feeding them, playing with them, and taking them outside. One of them was a K-9. Since then I have volunteered at my local animal shelter, and I currently work with children who developmental disabilities such as autism. I’m currently working: Monday 3PM-6PM Tuesday 9AM-1PM, 3PM-6PM Thursday 9AM-1PM, 3PM-6PM Friday 2PM-5PM Saturday 9AM-12PM Any time not listed above is my availability. I have plenty of experience with dogs. I currently don’t have any of my own due to my household not allowing pets, but I grew up dog-sitting for my neighbors and have since volunteered at my local animal shelter.
About: I raised my doggo teddy since he was 7 weeks old, he will be 5 in December of 2025 :) Sherpa was also a rather energetic senior, I fostered and took care of until he passed to doggy heaven. Friends and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, administer medication, and house their pets since I was a teen. I’m also experienced with caring for senior dogs and keeping up with playful puppies. In regards to medication, I have given dogs eye drops, inhalers, dealt with difficult doggos that don't even want to take medicine in pill pockets. I will be sure to give your dog medicine. On another note I will not be taking your dogs to dog parks anything can occur as there are dogs of various temperaments. Dogs will not be off-leash when being walked and while walking, I tend to avoid people or other dog interactions to maintain safety, regardless of how sweet or kind your dog or the other dogs are. Safety first always! :) Aside from that I will always throw frisbees, toys, and even tustle with overly energetic puppies/dogs in your home/backyard if thats how they like to have fun. A tired dog is a happy dog! I will likely be in the house most of the time if your dog has separation anxiety. At the present moment I have thankfully only 2 classes and 1 only class I am taking, so I would be returning within the house. Moreoever, as I am studying for the MCAT scary I prefer to be a recluse at the house with your pups or kitties of course. Yayyy :) Your dog will be cared for in a secure and welcoming environment. My fenced yard offers plenty of space for safe playtime, and I’m also located near several trails, perfect for outdoor walks and adventures. My two friendly dogs can provide companionship if your pup enjoys socializing, and if crating is part of their routine, I can accommodate that to ensure they feel comfortable and at ease.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with nearly 10 years of experience caring for dogs. I’ve owned a Chihuahua, Beagle, and currently a dog mom to a 5 year old pitbull! So I’m comfortable with all sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I’ve also dog sat for friends and family, providing dependable, loving care every time. I have open availability and prioritize safe, fun, and attentive walks. Whether your dog needs exercise, patience, or extra affection, I’ll treat them like my own and make sure they feel happy and comfortable while you’re away. I am currently working part time on Tuesday through Saturday with a rotating schedule so I have open availability and also a very flexible schedule. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and keep things tidy while giving your pet consistent care and companionship. I also provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your dog is happy and well taken care of. During walks and visits, I focus on safety, using secure leashes and staying aware of surroundings, while also making sure your dog gets plenty of exercise and attention. I’m attentive to each dog’s personality and energy level, whether they need active play or a slower, more relaxed pace.
“Caroline was amazing!! Right on time, super friendly and easy to communicate with.. I could tell Luca loved her right from the start and he was super tired when he got home which is great for me because I’m currently injured! I would highly recommend Caroline!”
“Esmerilda is an absolutely fantastic person and cares immensely for our dog. She has been our weekly dog walker for a little over 6 months--Our dog is a rescue and was quite difficult in the beginning, but Esmerilda has done a lot to help train and rehabilitate her. She also has done house sitting for us. I'd definitely recommend her to anyone who needs help with their dogs.”

“Lupe was absolutely wonderful with our service dog. She accepted him at the last minute during the holidays, which was truly a godsend for me since he’s always by my side. She understood that he’s a bit spoiled and treated him with so much care and kindness. She even sent us pictures and videos, which really eased my mind. I will definitely be recommending her. I can’t thank her enough.”
“Marya had our two young Frenchies overnight for their first time away from home. She sent us pictures and a video of them settling in and getting acquainted with her larger dog.

“Kirsten was great!! She was kind and communicative by sending me pics/vids with updates and was very reassuring as it was my first time having my boy away from home. I would definitely trust her to watch him again, 10/10”
“Edward had another wonderful stay with Jessie. He gets so excited when he sees her. He’s so much happier staying with her than at a boarding kennel and she takes great care of him.”
“Anthony is top-notch! He took great care of our King Charles Cavalier for four days. Anthony sent lots of pictures and videos of our dog playing with his dog, Kai. He took our dog on many walks to the local park and played fetch with the dogs his backyard. Anthony was very flexible with pickup/drop off times and had everything ready to go when it was time to take our dog home. I highly recommend Anthony for dog boarding and we will be rebooking with him in a few weeks.”

“Pontida took my chrissy in last moment, for a fair price, and with lots of love. She sent pictures with updates, letting me know that chrissy was ok and doing well. Chrissy had a great time and I could not have asked for a better pet sitter.”
“Beyond fantastic! Kasandra kept our cocker while we were away for 2 weeks. Not only was he very well cared for—he was actually better than when we left him! He is way calmer and has better manners than he had at drop off. Kasandra gave me some pointers that will help me a lot with him at home. This gal is a dog whisperer!! I could not be more grateful. Thank you Kasandra!”
“Shanna was great at watching my pup Navi this weekend! I appreciate her willingness to let Navi and I have a meet-and-greet ahead of our stay also, which helped me know my puppy would be in good hands. I will happily let Navi stay with Shanna again the next time I head out of town.”
“XingYuan is definitely an animal lover. She takes care of your little fur ball as if it were her own. She was very easy to communicate with and sent tons of pictures and videos each day. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND XingYuan!!!!!!!”
“While I was away, Sade had excellent communication with me the entire time. She sent pictures and updates regularly, which I really appreciated. She also followed the meal plan I provided perfectly and took great care of Peanut. I would definitely highly recommend Sade to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter, and I will absolutely be using her again in the very near future!”
“Kimberlin was great with our 2 dogs! They stayed with her and her husband for a week getting lots of attention and love. She communicated well, responded promptly to the initial request and all subsequent messages. She’s kind and clearly has a love of dogs that shows through her interactions. She is very understanding and accommodating. Our dogs were perfectly happy when we picked them up after a long week and I’m sure wouldn’t have protested to staying longer. Will definitely be using her again whenever we need help with our pups!”
“Anna was completely accommodating to my doggo during her stay at Anna's clean house. Anna provided regular updates during the boarding process, and made sure my dog was healthy, happy, and surrounded by other friendly dogs. Thank you again!”
“I feel so lucky to have found Kathleen. She has such a genuine passion and love for dogs. My pup took to her right off the bat, I’ve never seen him trot off with a stranger so willingly. She is so knowledgeable and understanding, I felt comfortable leaving him with her through the 4th of July holiday weekend. She managed firework anxiety like a pro. She took amazing care of him and he came home totally happy and tuckered out. I can tell he had a good time. I will definitely be booking again.”
“She took amazing care of my sphynx, Noodle. I’m nervous about someone I don’t know watching him but I felt so comfortable and knew Noodle was in good hands. 100% will book again!!”
