“Ashish was amazing ! Very Punctual, Consistent updates about your pet, and lots of pictures. I typically get very anxious leaving my pup somewhere while I’m out of town, but Ashish took the stress away. Definitely going to be a repeat customer!”
“Once again, Cody enjoyed his stay. Thanks for taking such good care of him! Wenxin and Cham sent regular updates and made sure our dog felt at home. Appreciate that they take him to the dog park and give him lots of treats and cuddles.”
“Julie and Adam were AMAZING! They took such incredible care of Axel and we could tell he felt right at home with them. They have a lovely garden that he was able to enjoy - and they even gifted us some delicious greens that they’d grown! What gems they are! Axe is looking forward to seeing them again soon.”
“We are SO grateful we found Luna! Our usual dog care fell through right before a long out-of-state trip, and we were genuinely considering postponing because our senior dog, Indi, has recently been diagnosed with IBD and needs a specialized diet, daily meds, and a calm, attentive environment. She can get stressed easily in new places, which has previously led to tummy issues and even skin flare-ups — so we were very nervous about leaving her with someone new. From the very first message, Luna was incredibly warm, proactive, and thoughtful. She even offered to set up a meet-and-greet right away before we could ask, which immediately put us at ease. Once we dropped Indi off, it was clear Luna treats animals like family. Her own dog, Jim, also has IBD, so she had first-hand experience and comfort caring for a pup with similar needs. Throughout the two weeks, Luna provided detailed updates every single day — including meals, meds, walks, and yes, digestion reports (very appreciated 😂). She took so many adorable photos and videos that we could see how happy and relaxed Indi was. Our dog walker also commented on how noticeably happier and healthier Indi seemed while staying at Luna’s — her stools even improved (a true win for IBD dog parents!). Communication was flawless, kind, and reassuring the whole time. We felt completely at ease, which is priceless. We would absolutely book with Luna again and recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a sitter who is caring, attentive, and truly exceptional. Indi came home happy, calm, and healthy — we couldn’t ask for more. 💛🐾”
“Allora was great! I only have positive things to say, Coco seemed so happy staying with her and her family. Allora sent me frequent updates and pictures which was great! I will definitely be boarding Coco with her again.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities for 15 years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, play with, and care for their pets while away. I’m patient, attentive, active, and genuinely love animals. I understand the importance of making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I love taking dogs on hikes and to the beach as well. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week and on weekends. I enjoy staying active, spending time outdoors, and making sure pets get the care, attention, exercise, and companionship they need to feel happy and comfortable. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving, and attentive environment and always follow the owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding, routines, medications, walks, and special care needs. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior and body language to ensure they feel safe, secure, and well cared for at all times.
“Jeanette was fantastic! She shared pictures every day and was extra attentive with my shy and nervous pup. Her home was a great place for boarding with space for my dog to explore indoors and outdoors and she could play with other dogs if she liked or could have her own space separated away from the others. Definitely recommend Jeanette’s care!”
“Asatur was able to accommodate a last minute boarding request. Everything was great and Asatur kept me updated on my dog. He has a large fenced area and dogs we’re having a great time.”
“I really appreciated all the updates throughout Hunnie’s stay; every walk, playtime, and feeding with lots of photos! Deborah was also very accommodating after some last minute travel changes on my end and was able to take care of Hunnie for an extra night. She came home happy! Would definitely book with Deborah again. Thank you!”
“Yesica was phenomenal with our 3 year old Bernedoodle. She was attentive, responsible, caring and overall gave so much love to our little pup. When I dropped off our dog, she instantly felt connected to Yesica and comfortable in her home. Yesica also did a great job keeping us posted on how our pup was doing. With texts and photos, we never had a doubt that our dog was well cared for. I will definitely be booking with Yesica again!”
“Ali is the best! She’s been caring for my dog for 4 years now. She’s so responsible, knowledgeable, and caring. I know my dog is always in safe and capable hands whenever I leave him with her. Can’t recommend her enough!”

Neighbors, friends, and family trust me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets, ensuring they receive the best care possible. As an online learning student, I spend most of my time at home or going on hikes, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I'm available for boarding any day after 2 PM.

Plus, I have a friendly 1-year-old dog who loves to socialize, which can be great for your pet's companionship and playtime. Whether at my home or yours, I ensure pets are well-fed, exercised, and given lots of attention and love.
“Gabi was well cared for and loved. She spent a lot of play time in the backyard. I love that Gabi got lots and lots of attention given Kushram being retired. My only gripe would be that I would have liked more updates, but that's only because it was the first time I left my pup with someone else. However, when I would reach out Kushram would get back to me within the hour... I will book with them again.”
“Maria was great with my poodle mix pita. She sent me updates and pictures. Her house is very clean and tidy. We will be booking with her again. Great experience. Thank you Maria!”
“Louis watched our dog for multiple days over Thanksgiving week, and was absolutely amazing. He gave super prompt communication and is very knowledgeable. We felt at ease during our trip knowing our dog was in good hands. Highly recommend Louis if you are in need of a great dog sitter!”

“Michael was great from the time I dropped off my cat, until I came back to pick him up. I got daily texts and photos that confirmed my immediate confidence in him. I hope he’s available for my next trip. Jack- Richmond CA”

About: I’ve grown up with lots of pets and currently have four cats and a dog at home, so being around animals has always been a big part of my life. As a UC Davis student, I have the flexibility to spend quality time with pets and give them the attention they need. I love spending time with animals of any age and make sure to follow their routines and any special instructions, so they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. Caring for animals is something I’m passionate about, and I’m committed to providing dependable, attentive care every time. I also think that spending time caring for animals is a great way for me, as a college student, to get out of my apartment and do something healthy and fulfilling. I’m a UC Davis student working part-time, so I have a pretty flexible schedule. I’m usually available most evenings and weekends, and I also have gaps during the day when I can stop by to hang out with your pets. I like to make sure pets get plenty of attention and playtime, and I’m happy to work around your schedule to help however I can. I always make sure pets feel safe and comfortable. I follow any instructions you give me and keep a close eye on your pets so they’re happy and relaxed. Having grown up with lots of animals, I know how important it is to create a clean, calm space where pets feel at ease. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel cared for and comfortable.
About: I am a loving and friendly dog sitter! I grew up with two dogs, a poodle and a Chihuahua. My family currently has a bull terrier that I love very much. I also take care of my best friend's dog when she is out of town. I love dogs and going on walks so this combination is perfect for me. I am currently a nanny to one of nephews as needed but I am free every day during the summer to take care of your furry babies. I make sure I read their cues of needing water/food, when they need to pee/poop, when they're overstimulated, stressed, or happy. I also make sure to pet them and show them love by scratching them, patting them, and rubbing them. I also follow any schedule that is given to me to make sure they stick to their normal routine.
About: I truly love cats and have two of my own. One was rescued from the street, and his name is Macchiato. The other was adopted from a shelter, and her name is Truffle. I also have experience caring for other cats and often help my friends take care of their cats. I’m patient and responsible, and I always make sure cats feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life and have 8+ years of hands on pet care experience. Cats were a part of my life before i was a dog owner/ provider, it was through years of being alongside my grandmother who loves animals in general but raised many Cats… through the years I’ve been exposed to knowledge and understanding to then care of all species, breeds, sizes, and temperaments. (cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, fish)
“Thank you Cyndi for taking care of Jack and Guiness and sending us the pictures, it gave us a lot of piece of mind knowing that Cyndi was taking care of our 2 cats! I can highly recommend Cyndi”
About: I grew up in a large family of animal lovers, we've always had more pets than grandchildren! I've taken care of my own and other family and friend's pets, walking, bathing, and house sitting puppies to senior dogs.

I’ll always make sure pets are fed and walked regularly and tire them out with play and activities before they end their day. I can also give medications if needed.

I also like to clean and tidy up anything I use during stays, and send regular photo and message updates so owners feel reassured while they’re away. My goal is to make pets feel happy, safe, and well cared for while keeping their owners informed and confident in the care their pet is receiving.

“When we met Asatur, Charlie (GSD) felt at ease when being introduced to his new surroundings for the day. During his stay I was kept apprised of how he was getting along with the other dogs, his demeanor and his happiness. When I arrived to pick him up, Asatur shared his observations and tips for the next time he watches Charlie. This is the type of care I was hoping to get and I did.”
“Ashish was great! We did a Meet and Greet a few days before so Penny could meet Andy. We met Andy and Ashish’s son - both were so sweet 🥰😍 I would definitely recommend his services for doggie daycare. He sent pics and Penny seemed to enjoy herself in his lovely backyard - it was a nice sunny day.”
“Jeannette and her family are amazing. My dog loves coming to their house. They are gentle and loving, which I appreciate. We've come back several times for boading and daycare.”
About: I've had dogs all my life.Now that am retired can spend more time with dogs.Available anytime and we love meeting new dogs and new dog owners I am available anytime these days due to being retired. Have 2 dogs that love meeting and playing with other dogs. We'll make sure your pet is happy Well honestly I would spoil them with lots of attention and lots of treats.. they will always be happy to be with us and well taken care of
“It is our first time using Rover and we chose the right person to take care of our puppy Max. Allora and her family were amazing. She had him for the day and he had the time of his life! They constantly kept us updated with photos and videos and even let him wear an Air Tag to make sure he's safe. We'll definitely let our dog stay over here again!”
“Wenxin took wonderful care of Moscow! She kept us updated with plenty of photos and videos, and it was clear that Moscow received lots of attention and outdoor time. If we ever need a sitter again, we wouldn’t hesitate to book with her!”
“Kushram and Family are a wonderful find for dog sitting or doggy day care. Give the initial booking request a bit of lead time, as the confirmation that the day/time works may take up to a day to come through. This time I put in a request 9:30pm on a Saturday, and got confirmation Sunday evening. (I suspect requests are processed daily). The initial booking request was the largest gap we experienced in communication, scheduling the meet and greet by messages was easy - they were very responsive and want to ensure you and your pup will be comfortable with their set up and go over any special needs of the dog. Our elder pup Rick was drawn to Kushram and the whole family even on the meet and greet (I think just his wife and adult nephew), as well the drop off day of, and they were able to make him comfortable enough to eat even on a short visit. Given our short booking (only about 3 hrs) we can't really comment on long term pictures/communication during the visit, but I can say I feel pretty happy that I found some place local where I feel comfortable leaving my dog when I need to go somewhere. They also have some experience with some dog special needs, but can help best when they know about it ahead of time. They were not concerned or put off in the slightest by our pups needs (mostly that he's pretty clingy, can get cold easily, and only has 3 teeth and will only eat small pieces of food, and doesn't love hanging out with other dogs), and described other dogs they had watched with similar or more challenging needs such as dog-sitting a blind dog in a new space. Thank you for taking good care of our pup!”

“Deborah took great care of our dog Noodle. Noodle is a little shy and Deborah was very patient and caring. Her house is well set up and has a great enclosed yard. She sent us some great pictures too!”
“Hui-Min is an excellent sitter! She was very kind and thoughtful. My dog immediately felt at ease with her and settled in quickly. She sent some nice updates and it was clear that he had a great day with her. I’d definitely recommend her as a sitter!”
“I have an anxious senior pup who hasn't spent much time apart from my partner and I since adopting him a few months ago (in large part due to his anxiety). I did a pre-meeting with Zoe to make sure it would be a good fit for the pup and then we completed the booking. While my pup still let me know later in the day he was mad I left him, when I picked him up he was happy and bouncing around, but also perfectly happy to go back and hang with her. I think this was the most positive experience possible for Rick and am hopeful the positive experience might help him towards being less anxious when we leave him in the future (every positive experience helps I hope!). I would and will definitely book again with her as long as she's available and accepts him again! Also to note, she was very flexible with our pick up time which I appreciated - I had mentioned I might be able to pick the dog up early, and then when I was able to I messaged her that day and picked him up 3 hours early to hopefully make it easier on Rick. That for sure saved me some time instead of needing to pick him up and hitting rush hour on my way home. She was also very helpful and provided feedback to me on Rick's behavior at my request so I have a good handle on how his anxiety and overall behavior is progressing as we try to work through it. Thanks again Zoe (and Partner!)! I really appreciate y'all.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 13 years, including my own special needs dog, Jimmy. We adopted him from the Humane Society, and since then, he’s been part of our family. Jimmy has required extra care due to medical and mobility issues, and through him, I’ve learned how to be patient, gentle, and attentive to every pet’s unique needs. I have hands-on experience with: Special needs and senior dogs Administering medications Building trust with shy or anxious pets Providing a calm and loving home environment Your pet will be treated like my own — with love, respect, and plenty of cuddles. Whether you're away for a day or a week, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for like family. I'm home and available most of the day, which allows me to give pets the time, attention, and care they deserve. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feedings, or just quiet companionship, I can easily adapt to your pet’s routine. Since I already care for my own dog and have experience with cats, pet care is a natural part of my daily life. I enjoy being active and love spending time with animals — they truly bring joy to my day! I care for pets in my own home or through drop-in visits — I do not stay overnight in clients’ homes. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, quiet, and loving environment with plenty of attention, walks, and playtime. I keep their routine as close to normal as possible, including feeding times and medications. For drop-in visits, I make sure your pet gets everything they need while you're away — food, fresh water, outdoor breaks, and lots of love. I’m respectful of your space and always follow your care instructions closely.
“Ali has been taking care of my dog for years and has always been nothing short of amazing! We have used her for both doggy daycare and overnight stays when we’ve gone out of town and will continue to use her as often as possible. She’s very easy to communicate with, has helped with dispensing medication, and our dog is always so incredibly excited to see her. To me that says it all. Highly recommend Ali’s services!”
About: I’ve owned dogs all my life and a huge dog lover, I understand how hard it can be to leave your little bestfriend even for a couple hours! Im used to very active big dog who need lots of exercise and play time, but of course I love the little pups as well! I love to be a pet sitter that teaches your pup new tricks & overall spend time with them. If you are looking for a pet sitter who will integrate your doggies life with my life im your girl! Dogs are a part of the family and should be treated that way :) I work from home and currently just hoping to have some friends visit that I can play with and take on drives to dog parks or trails! I love to incorporate your puppy’s life with my mine! making outside hikes and dog park time a daily routine- I have a dog park included at my apartment complex! also lots of nearby trails :)
“A huge THANK YOU to Michael, his mom, and Mayzie for taking such good care of our puppy for the day. Michael’s communication was great from the time of booking, through the entire day (he sent lots of photos and texts), until the end of the booking. He even took our pup on a couple of short walks, which was super nice of him. We could tell from the photos Michael sent us that our puppy was having so much fun and plenty of play time. We would definitely recommend Michael and hope to use him again.”
“Christiano is great with our dog. He is such a nice guy and you can tell he really cares about animals. We feel comfortable leaving our boy with him and know he's in good hands. It's really nice to have someone we can rely on when we need a dog sitter. He even was able to take our dog last minute/day of when we needed someone. Our dog also has some specific needs and Christiano is always accommodating. Definitely recommend him and his team!”
About: I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats since birth and have spent my whole life building a deep understanding of animal behavior and care. Growing up, my family raised two litters of puppies, giving me hands-on experience with everything from newborn care to socialization and training throughout various life stages. I currently share my home with three dogs of my own and regularly care for friends' cats and dogs, both in my home and theirs. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes, from small lap dogs to large breeds, and know that each comes with its own personality, energy level, and needs. People tell me I'm not just a dog person but also someone dogs are drawn to. Cats have been a constant in my life just as long as dogs have. I know how to read their cues, respect their space, and earn their trust on their own terms. I genuinely love every stage of a pet's life and know how to meet each animal where they are, whether that's an energetic puppy, a curious cat, or a laid-back senior. I’ve worked in human crisis intervention for over 6 years, which means I stay calm under pressure and know how to respond quickly and clearly when something unexpected happens. That same steady, caring approach is what I bring to every pet I look after. I do Rover to supplement my nonprofit career, so when I take on your pet it's because I genuinely want to be here, not because I have to be. Your pet won't just be cared for, they'll feel right at home! I work from home on a flexible schedule that I set myself, which means I'm present with your pet throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long stretches. We have a fenced yard for outdoor time and can separate pets as needed, so your animal has a safe, comfortable space even with my own dogs in the home. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I treat every pet like they're my own. My home is pet-proofed with a fenced yard, and I can separate animals as needed so everyone has their own safe space alongside my own dogs. I always want to know your pet's routine, quirks, and preferences ahead of time so I can keep things as normal and comfortable as possible for them. With a lifetime of experience with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes, I'm confident handling whatever comes up, and my crisis intervention background means I stay calm and act fast if an emergency arises.

“Deborah was an angel to work with! My dog could immediately tell she was a dog person. Took to her like a fish to water. He came back in an amazing mood, ready for a nap. So grateful and appreciative!!!”
About: I have loved all manner of critters ever since I was little! I would jump on every opportunity to be around animals, from cleaning friends' fish tanks while they were away to taking care of horses and mucking stalls in exchange for riding lessons. We've had our lovely pup Bosco for 12 years (since he was a couple months old). Steve the cat, came to us at just 3 weeks old about 5 years ago, and we took in the newest addition to our family, Kora the cat, a year and a half ago. I currently work from home so I'll be able to spend all day hanging out with and taking care of your pals. My work is very flexible so it goes where I go and scheduling is rarely a challenge no matter the hour! It is very important to me that your best pal has a great time while in my care so if your pet is on a specific schedule don't be afraid to get detailed! I’ve also cared for many animals over the years with medical needs, so I’ve become quite adept at creative pill camouflaging, breathing mask application, and the administration of various kinds of droplets (among other things).
“Merlette was so patient with our dog who was a little shy on the first visit. She’s also a great communicator and made the whole process easy. So relieved to have found someone who can walk our dog.”
“Michael was extremely responsive and accommodating of our very short-notice needs, and sensitive to the needs of our shy-of-strangers dog Latte. Would definitely call on him again!”
“Irina walked our reactive dog in our neighborhood and I definitely recommend her! She was communicative throughout the process, provided pictures and gave a detailed summary of their walk together. We’ve already booked her for a week long stay in our home!”
“Cyndi was so great with our dogs. They connected with her immediately and greeted her with enthusiasm on every visit. Friendly and reliable— our dogs definitely loved Cyndi’s visits and the variety of walks she took them on. We plan to have her care for our dogs again on future trips if she’s available.”

“Julie and Adam were AMAZING! They took such incredible care of Axel and we could tell he felt right at home with them. They have a lovely garden that he was able to enjoy - and they even gifted us some delicious greens that they’d grown! What gems they are! Axe is looking forward to seeing them again soon.”
“Allora was great! I only have positive things to say, Coco seemed so happy staying with her and her family. Allora sent me frequent updates and pictures which was great! I will definitely be boarding Coco with her again.”

“Jeanette was fantastic! She shared pictures every day and was extra attentive with my shy and nervous pup. Her home was a great place for boarding with space for my dog to explore indoors and outdoors and she could play with other dogs if she liked or could have her own space separated away from the others. Definitely recommend Jeanette’s care!”
“Asatur was able to accommodate a last minute boarding request. Everything was great and Asatur kept me updated on my dog. He has a large fenced area and dogs we’re having a great time.”
“Ali is the best! She’s been caring for my dog for 4 years now. She’s so responsible, knowledgeable, and caring. I know my dog is always in safe and capable hands whenever I leave him with her. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“Maria was great with my poodle mix pita. She sent me updates and pictures. Her house is very clean and tidy. We will be booking with her again. Great experience. Thank you Maria!”
“Louis watched our dog for multiple days over Thanksgiving week, and was absolutely amazing. He gave super prompt communication and is very knowledgeable. We felt at ease during our trip knowing our dog was in good hands. Highly recommend Louis if you are in need of a great dog sitter!”
About: I’ve had dogs for most of my life. I grew up with 4 bigs dogs. Recently I’ve been doing walks on apps, I’ve done over 70+ services ranging from taking care of old pets to very young ones. People always set me as their preferred walker since they love that I listen to their rules and go on long walks with their dogs. For a 60 minute walk I average about 2-3 miles, depending on the dog. I’m currently a student at San Jose State University and I look forward to doing some walks or other services on the weekends when I’m back home, also I can do walks or sittings on the weekdays when I off school. I have a fenced yard, the dogs and cats are allowed in the house and my room. I will make sure to always keep a lookout and have them be where I am at.
“Luciana and Rob were amazing. We had a vacation out of the country and had split sitters with a friend dropping our doodle off at Luciana and Rob's. It went smoothly and they kept in touch the entire time. It was clear our sensitive doodle really connected with them in the three days he was with them and even when we knocked on the door to pick him up he was barking, protecting their domain.. :) We'd definitely book again. We were very comfortable with their experience with anxious dogs and knowledge on walking dogs that are reactive to other dogs while walking on leash; they knew all of the tricks before I mentioned them! I was at ease while on my trip!”
“Mocha thoroughly enjoys spending time with Nathaniel and his family. They consistently demonstrate great kindness towards him, ensuring that he is well taken care of. We truly appreciate your unwavering care for him, and we eagerly anticipate our next meeting.”
“Te’Arie was great with our maltipoo pup, who can be a bit on the nervous side when first meeting people and other dogs/cats. She knew just what to do to make her feel comfortable during her weekend stay and I loved how she kept me posted on their outings (walks and nearby beach) and shared pics. You can tell Te’Arie has experience working with different personalities and is also just a really warm, caring person. Would definitely book with Te’Arie again and highly recommend!”
“I will rebook her the next time without hesitation! My dog instantly felt her good vibes right when she opened her home door, and happily and excitedly rushed into the house. I got several messages and photos of my dog within the first 12 hours giving me progress updates of my dog settling in perfectly. That really put my mind at ease. Thank you Fernanda!”
