“Pamela took such good care of my furbaby. Constant updates on how she was doing and made sure to upkeep routine and care. Definitely kept my furbaby busy and entertained throughout her stay. Pamela was also accommodating when updating her of my situation. Definitely recommend her for pet sitting”
“We couldn’t be happier with Mayuri and her husband’s care for our border collie Ketty! Ketty was a little anxious when we first dropped her off, but Mayuri handled it beautifully — a short walk, a gentle introduction to their dog Ramsey, and before long the two were best friends, with Ketty confidently inviting Ramsey to play. It was so heartwarming to see her come out of her shell. Mayuri kept us wonderfully informed throughout the day with timely updates on Ketty’s food, sleep, and play sessions, along with the most adorable photos of Ketty and Ramsey just chilling together. We never once worried. We feel so fortunate to have found Mayuri on Rover. Knowing Ketty is in such loving, attentive hands makes it easy for us to travel. Highly recommend!”
“We had the pleasure of having Judi sit for our two boxers - Max and Doja recently. She was absolutely amazing and wonderful with our two girls. I can’t say this enough! From the very beginning when we first met Judi, she was patient and very knowledgeable about the Boxer breed, which gave us a comforting feeling that our two girls would be in great hands. She listened to our concerns regarding our dog’s health conditions and was very mindful when it came to their care. We appreciated all the updates and pictures that we received daily from Judi. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We highly recommend her and will most definitely be utilizing her services again in the future.”
“Caddie and her family were great with my cat Prince. Prince is a 6 month old kitten and this was our first boarding. I got daily updates with pictures and videoes. Prince made friends with her dog and adjusted well to the new environment. We will use Caddie again the next time we go on vacation to take care of Prince.”
“Melody took great care of Jarvis again! She stayed on top of his food and medication just like last time and treated him like her own. I really appreciate how detailed she is. She kept notes on his potty breaks, meals, meds, and even sleep, which gives me so much peace of mind especially with his medical needs. She’s reliable, attentive, and clearly cares a lot. I’d definitely book with her again!”
“Jianli & Wiena took very good care of our dog. They were very caring and took care of all her needs and send us lots of photos and videos with regular updates. We highly recommend him & will definitely use them again.”
“Sriram & family are the best dog sitters we have hired on Rover. Got daily pictures of our dog with smiles on our dogs face. Our dog Dou Dou was completely relaxed and felt at home with Sriram. Highly recommend this dog sitter.”
“Su is very sweet, Winston was clearly comfortable immediately. Very communicative, lots of photos, and flexible on pickup and dropoff. Will definitely rebook next time we need at home stay for our pup!”
“We had the most wonderful experience with Siqin dog sitting for us for a week! They took such good care of our dog and sent multiple pictures and videos throughout the day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. They also made sure all his medications were given on time. We could tell he was happy and well looked after. We would absolutely book them again!”
“I highly recommend Lily to anyone looking for a sitter. She is very kind and friendly with dogs. Our dog is anxious in new places. Lily clearly understood her nature and took excellent care of her. This is the second time leaving our dog with her and our dog loves Lily. She sends daily updates with pictures which helped us be at ease and enjoy our vacation. Lily is the best and is one of my go to dog sitters.”
“Nina and Tony took excellent care of our 5 year old golden doodle, Yogi. They are so communicative, sent frequent updates. Yogi looked very well cared for and happy when we picked him up. Would highly recommend Nina and Tony!!”
“Alma is incredibly kind and attentive to our dogs. She understands their needs and enjoys their different personalities. We also appreciate all her timely communication and photo updates. It gave us a lot of peace to know our dogs are having fun and being cared for while we traveled.”
“Pallavi and Rachit were incredibly caring in looking after Zoey. They went above and beyond in taking care of her. If you're looking for someone who will truly care for your pet, going beyond just the basic needs, they are absolutely wonderful. Pallavi paid close attention to even the smallest details about my poodle. She made sure to understand Zoey’s schedule, routine, and how comfortable she is around other dogs and people. Their dog, Luna, is also very friendly and sweet. Pallavi frequently sent me updates and photos, which gave me a lot of reassurance. They spent genuine quality time with Zoey, really getting to know her. Even when Zoey had an injury, they cared for her so well and kept me updated throughout. Pallavi truly went the extra mile- gradually introducing Zoey to Luna, asking before giving her snacks, setting up a comfortable space for her in their home, and giving her so much love and attention. I couldn't recommend them enough!”
“Cookie was takin in with open arms and cared for as if she was theirs. Hong provided daily updates and photos, cookie seemed very happy and way too comfortable (lol). Thats the doodle in her! Thank you again watching our pup!”
“I had a wonderful experience with Shruti and would absolutely book with her again. Communication was excellent throughout Julie’s stay. Julie had a bout of diarrhea while she was there, and Shruti kept me updated every step of the way, which greatly reduced my stress and gave me confidence that Julie was being well cared for.”
“My pup seemed to be right at home the first day. They took such good care of her. I would recommend to anyone. Thank you again for making such a stressful time one less thing to worry about :)”
About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 18. We have a golden doodle at home who loves meeting and playing with other dogs. I work full time remotely, so I am always home to watch your pet. I take my dog to the park for an hour in the evening, and spend random moment throughout the day to engage with all pets in the house! I have a fenced backyard. When your pet stays with me, they'll get plenty of supervised playtime in a safe, pet-friendly environment. We'll stick to their regular feeding schedule, if needed and provide regular walks and potty breaks throughout the day.
About: Cats are lovely and each have their own character, although they can be distant at first they end up allowing me to obey their commands. I work from home, so your pup will never be alone. They will enjoy daily walks around the lake in our friendly neighborhood. Always feed only what’s on their normal diet. I follow instructions to what is recommended for each pet, as I know many may have different needs. No extra treats or foods since some pets have allergies.

“I was so happy to have Jane to look after my pair of bonded cats. She was extremely dependable and communicative, and I was better able to enjoy my trip knowing she was on the job. Everything went so smoothly and I'm very grateful.”
“We were so delighted by the support we got for our two bonded cats! We arrived home to happy cats + a space that was taken better care of than we do ourselves :). We had a longer booking and received lovely reports / photos that were a highlight everyday. I will absolutely book again and recommend to family and friends. Thanks again!”
“Shiman took great care of our 19yo kitty Cosmo while we were out of town. We really appreciate the time and care she took with him giving us feedback of his status and letting us know how he was doing during our trip.”
“Wow, Myat was absolutely fantastic! We have an older cat and a bunny rabbit, and Myat not only checked in with them and kept them fed, but also spent time playing with them so they were not lonely. Her daily photos were so cute and you could tell the animals were thrilled. Our cat ended up throwing up while we were away, and Myat was kind enough to clean up his vomit and also contacted us to be safe. She also picked up rabbit poop! We did not ask her to do this- she did it because she is incredible. We will 100000000% be booking with Myat again. Book Myat! She’s THE BEST”
“Suzie was a tremendous help with my senior CKD cat, Molly, during two home subcutaneous fluid sessions. On the first day, I took the lead and Suzie assisted with line priming, valve operation, and helping keep Molly comfortable and still during the procedure. On the second day, Suzie took the lead and successfully performed the needle insertion and fluid administration while I assisted with positioning Molly, valve operation, and fluid flow. Molly's care requires patience, teamwork, attention to detail, and a calm approach. Suzie was reliable, professional, gentle with Molly, and adaptable when our roles changed from one day to the next. On the day Suzie took the lead, Molly received her full fluid treatment with no observed leakage, and Molly remained comfortable, mobile, and relaxed afterward. I would gladly work with Suzie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for dependable help with a pet who has ongoing medical needs.”
“Conscientious, caring, reliable and trustworthy! We were extremely pleased with the care Brianna provided to our 3 cats. She understood all instructions, always responded to all communication, and followed a rather complicated set of instructions perfectly. We highly recommend Brianna's services and would not hesitate to use her in the future. She earned and deserves the 5 star rating”
“We had left our 6 month old kitten for the first time for 3 days. Veronica was so good with him!! She was patient, always on time, sent a lot of photos and kept in touch through detailed reports of each visit. We loved her! We were so relieved to leave our kitten with her and we would definitely request her to come again. 10/10!!”
“Aixia is wonderful with our two cats- 9 and 10 years old. One of them is extremely shy and timid— and he was out greeting and playing with her so quickly we could hardly believe it! She took extra care in all the ways and sent such good photos and updates that we had complete peace of mind while away. Thank you so much for loving our babies the same as we do!”
About: Cats are a central part of my life. As a proud parent of a 6-year-old Ragdoll, I am deeply familiar with the attentive care, grooming needs, and sensitive routines that premium, long-haired breeds require. Over the years, I have built extensive experience managing multi-cat households while pet-sitting. My experience spans a wide variety of breeds, including plush British Shorthairs (Golden Chinchillas), affectionate Orange Tabbies, and charismatic rescues. I excel at handling distinct feline temperaments—whether your cat is an outgoing social butterfly or a shy kitty who needs patient, quiet companionship. During drop-ins, I ensure strict separate dietary routines are followed, maintain meticulous litter box hygiene for multi-cat setups, and provide plenty of engaging playtime and photo updates.
About: Although I have more experience with doggies, I fell in love with a cat that I got to house-sit, who lives with a doggie once. I never knew cats could be so cuddly! I'm now both a doggie and kitty lover. :) I will do my best to care for your beloved furry baby with lots of play, pets, and cuddles.

A dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust that someone will follow your animals routine. I care for pets in their home by keeping their routine consistent and stress free. I follow all care instructions closely and make sure pets receive lots of love, attention, walks, playtime, and comfort while their owners are away. I’m reliable, respectful of your home, and happy to provide updates and photos during visits!

About: I am a dog mom since 2020 when we got our first dog, a golden doodle and since then I have been around him and his friends. Dogs keep me energetic and lively. I talk to them and treat them like babies. My motherly instincts for dogs are no different from taking care of a human being. Since I got my baby, I have researched and have been enhancing my knowledge to take better care of him each day. Whenever I get an opportunity to stay around any dog, it makes me feel very blissful. I have many dogs in my family and friends groups. I keep my house very clean so they do not eat anything from ground. Even for emergencies, I have made an emergency kit which is ready with Charcoal, ear wipes, tweezer and 3% hydrogen peroxide (to induce vomiting) in case they ingest something. I know how to handle normal doggy issues that could occur and even how to handle an emergency situation. If needed I can go to vet immediately. For info, nearest vet to my place is 1 mile ( Golden paws Vet clinic) and nearest emergency (Beacon Veterinary specialist) is 6.5 miles. Your pets safety will be my TOP priority. I am full time at home and will have dedicated time to spend with dogs. I play with them, do stimulating activities as I do with my dog. Your dog will be no different to my own. I have a fenced yard and a long side yard where I play fetch 2-3 times with my dog. I am very creative with playing activities. I am well versed in case of emergency as I keep myself well informed with the knowledge needed to keep pets safe. Important note : Please make sure your dog is up to date with shots and rabies vaccine. Provide a proof you first bring in your dog for day care or boarding.
“Weiran did a wonderful job watching Mango. We felt completely at ease with Mango under her care. Grateful to have met a sitter that is attentive to Mango’s needs. Thank you Weiran!”
“Cindy was a lifesaver during my stressful workweek. She took care of Panda and made sure she felt loved and comfortable. She kept me updated throughout the day and knew I’d be off later and was flexible with my schedule - absolutely fantastic! I had regular updates with Panda being spoiled with love by her girls. I’ll definitely use her again when I need a sitter. Thanks a million!”
“Milo seemed really happy after I picked him up! Seemed like he had a blast. Elizabeth is great, she took care of my dog last minute. She sent a few pictures and videos for updates! Thank you for caring for Milo.”
About: All my life I’ve had animals. I have a cat and a dog. Animals are not just pets. They are family, they are emotional support, they are therapy and unconditional love. The only concern you should have is that I will fall in love with your furry baby. As of right now I’m off work. I work in education so I take summers off. I am open to work but would prefer consistency. I have a fenced back yard and a park around my house so enough space for walks. I have a Shiba Inu so expect long walks

About: Hi! My name is Natalia but I go by Nat. I’ve been caring for dogs for about 7 years and have three dogs of my own. I’ve raised them since they were puppies, so I’m experienced with feedings, walks, playtime, giving lots of attention, and sticking to their routines. I understand every pet has different needs, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away! I treat every pet as my own and will always do my best for them and their owners! I have a flexible schedule and can provide pet care most of the week. I work as a swim instructor on Thursdays from 6:30p.m.-8:15p.m. , and Saturdays from 10:30 a.m.-1:15 a.m., but I’m avaible after and before these hours. I’m happy to accommodate to walks, drop in visits, and pet sitting around my work schedule, and I’ll ensure your pet gets plenty of attention and care! If there is any case of a same day booking, I am sometimes able to take it! Your pets safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll follow all instructions carefully including eating habits/schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special requests. I’ll treat your home with respect and care for your pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while your away.
About: I may be new to professional pet sitting, but I have experience caring for my own dog and understand the importance of providing a safe, loving, and structured environment. I know that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’m committed to following each owner’s instructions carefully. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or simply giving your pet companionship, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, happy, and confident while you’re away. As a dedicated pet lover, I structure my daily routine around ensuring the dogs in my care receive consistent attention, regular potty breaks, and plenty of mental stimulation. Because my schedule is highly flexible, I can easily adapt to your pup's regular feeding, walking, and nap schedules without disruption. With 8 years of personal experience raising my own dogs—including a Havanese for 6 years and a dachshund, schnauzer mix for 8 years—I am deeply familiar with managing daily feeding routines and bathroom schedules. I provide a safe, reliable environment by sticking strictly to your instructions, keeping a watchful eye on your pet, and maintaining a predictable, stress-free routine while you are away.
“RJ took great care of Remy on his walk. He’s communicative, friendly, and transparent about everything. It’s my first time using Rover and it can be stressful finding someone to trust your fur baby with but I instantly felt comfortable with RJ and most importantly Remy did. He sent photos and videos throughout the walk which I loved.”
About: I've been a devoted pet caregiver for 9 years, caring for cats, rabbits, and hamsters with love and patience. Over the past year, I've also gained hands-on experience raising my own energetic Border Collie, who is now 10 months old and about 44 lbs. Through daily training, walks, playtime, and caring for a high-energy puppy, I've developed a deeper understanding of dogs' physical and emotional needs. I know that every pet has a unique personality. Whether your pet is playful, energetic, shy, or senior, I always provide patient, attentive, and personalized care to help them feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I also enjoy sending detailed daily updates and plenty of photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I'm currently an MBA student and have just completed my first year. During summer break, I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time to your pets. During the school year, my classes are primarily in the evenings, allowing me to continue providing reliable daytime care with minimal scheduling conflicts. Because I currently rent my home, I'm unable to offer boarding services. However, I'd be happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home through drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting. My goal is always to treat every pet as if they were part of my own family. Since my MBA program starts in mid-August and all my classes are in the evenings, I currently have a flexible schedule during the day. This allows me to dedicate ample time to new opportunities, projects, or commitments without scheduling conflicts. I’m available throughout the daytime and can easily adapt to different time zones or urgent tasks while attending evening classes. I currently rent my home and am unable to offer boarding services at my place. However, I am happy to provide loving and attentive pet care by visiting your home for drop-in visits, dog walking, or house sitting. I understand that pets feel most comfortable in their own environment, and I’m dedicated to making sure they receive the care and attention they deserve while you’re away.
About: I’ve always had dogs in my life, but only in the last few years have I had major care experience of any kind, but I genuinely really enjoy it. I’ve always loved dogs and pets in general and I’d love to have more opportunities I’m not working any jobs right now and want to make some money doing something I enjoy while saving up for things. So I’m free a fair amount of the time I’m sure the type of care I give certain pets will depend on their personal needs since I’m planning on house sitting, but as far as basics go I’ll make sure to be attentive and keep them happy
About: I've loved animals of all kinds since I was little! I have had turtles, tortoises, bunnies, a chinchilla, and Pascal, the love-of-my-life golden mutt. I was privileged to spend more than 15 amazing years with him and learned about all stages of dog life, including elderly/special needs care. I've also helped friends and family take care of their pets - mostly dogs - when they were away! I work full-time, but loving on animals is the best way to relieve stress at the end of the day and on weekends! I also have Mondays off to spoil your pet! Let me know how to keep your pet safe and happy! Favorite games, toys, treats, walking spots? Is he shy, social? Loves a butt rub? An active fetch sesh? A cozy cuddle? Look no further!
“Raeyna was so great to book in a pinch for a dog walk. She had great communication both beforehand to make a plan, and the day of so I knew she had picked up my dog in a timely fashion. I would definitely book her again.”

About: Dogs make my heart happy, and so do cats! :) I loved the times that I got to spend and care for my beloved Moki who went to heaven in Dec. 2023. I miss her every single day. I work as a substitute teacher and painting instructor, which provides me with a flexible schedule to pursue my hobbies and interests. One of my passions in life is dogs. I volunteer with Pets in Need by participating in their Doggy Day Out program. Back in high school, I was voted Most Dependable, and I believe I still hold that title dear to heart whether it's with family, work, friends, and clients. I would do my best to make sure your furry best friend gets lots of pets, play, and potty breaks. :) My schedule is pretty flexible since I work as a substitute teacher and painting instructor. I can easily block off dates so that I can be available. In the summer time, I also work as a summer camp art counselor. I have updated my schedule with the dates that I’m available. :) I know what it's like to have someone reliable and trustworthy to care for your furry best friend. I know that you can depend on me because I will love and care for your pet as if she/he's my own.
“Alexis has been extremely dependable when we need someone to take Mochi out. She goes the extra mile to meet her needs (whether it's a treat or a little bit of play) We know Mochi is in good hands whenever Alexis stops by!”
“Lauren was great with walking my dog. They made sure he got water breaks, sent updates and pictures after each walk. They were also available to extend the walk to an hour and for a super last minute booking, so I totally appreciate the flexibility. Thank you Lauren!”

About: I was born an animal lover! My first job ever was pet sitting/walking my neighbors' dogs. I have always had a passion for caring for animals! I am open to caring for any type of pet you may have at your home. I have been a special education teacher for 11 years, however am taking some time off this year to pursue some personal passions, which means I have a very flexible schedule! For the past 16 years my life has revolved around my two large fur babies (a sweet, loving lab and loyal, active pit), however they have both now passed on. There has been a huge gap in my heart since they are no longer around, and I am hoping I can start to fill that by caring for your pet! I have pet training experience, and spent the past 4 years caring for my aging dogs. I have experience administering medications, special meal plans/feeding needs, injections and caring for pets with special needs. I love spending time cuddling with furry friends, as well as heading out to the trails, park or beach for a day of active fun!

“We had the pleasure of having Judi sit for our two boxers - Max and Doja recently. She was absolutely amazing and wonderful with our two girls. I can’t say this enough! From the very beginning when we first met Judi, she was patient and very knowledgeable about the Boxer breed, which gave us a comforting feeling that our two girls would be in great hands. She listened to our concerns regarding our dog’s health conditions and was very mindful when it came to their care. We appreciated all the updates and pictures that we received daily from Judi. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We highly recommend her and will most definitely be utilizing her services again in the future.”
“Caddie and her family were great with my cat Prince. Prince is a 6 month old kitten and this was our first boarding. I got daily updates with pictures and videoes. Prince made friends with her dog and adjusted well to the new environment. We will use Caddie again the next time we go on vacation to take care of Prince.”
“We had the most wonderful experience with Siqin dog sitting for us for a week! They took such good care of our dog and sent multiple pictures and videos throughout the day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. They also made sure all his medications were given on time. We could tell he was happy and well looked after. We would absolutely book them again!”
“I highly recommend Lily to anyone looking for a sitter. She is very kind and friendly with dogs. Our dog is anxious in new places. Lily clearly understood her nature and took excellent care of her. This is the second time leaving our dog with her and our dog loves Lily. She sends daily updates with pictures which helped us be at ease and enjoy our vacation. Lily is the best and is one of my go to dog sitters.”
“Nina and Tony took excellent care of our 5 year old golden doodle, Yogi. They are so communicative, sent frequent updates. Yogi looked very well cared for and happy when we picked him up. Would highly recommend Nina and Tony!!”
“Pallavi and Rachit were incredibly caring in looking after Zoey. They went above and beyond in taking care of her. If you're looking for someone who will truly care for your pet, going beyond just the basic needs, they are absolutely wonderful. Pallavi paid close attention to even the smallest details about my poodle. She made sure to understand Zoey’s schedule, routine, and how comfortable she is around other dogs and people. Their dog, Luna, is also very friendly and sweet. Pallavi frequently sent me updates and photos, which gave me a lot of reassurance. They spent genuine quality time with Zoey, really getting to know her. Even when Zoey had an injury, they cared for her so well and kept me updated throughout. Pallavi truly went the extra mile- gradually introducing Zoey to Luna, asking before giving her snacks, setting up a comfortable space for her in their home, and giving her so much love and attention. I couldn't recommend them enough!”
“Cookie was takin in with open arms and cared for as if she was theirs. Hong provided daily updates and photos, cookie seemed very happy and way too comfortable (lol). Thats the doodle in her! Thank you again watching our pup!”
“I had a wonderful experience with Shruti and would absolutely book with her again. Communication was excellent throughout Julie’s stay. Julie had a bout of diarrhea while she was there, and Shruti kept me updated every step of the way, which greatly reduced my stress and gave me confidence that Julie was being well cared for.”
“My pup seemed to be right at home the first day. They took such good care of her. I would recommend to anyone. Thank you again for making such a stressful time one less thing to worry about :)”
About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 18. We have a golden doodle at home who loves meeting and playing with other dogs. I work full time remotely, so I am always home to watch your pet. I take my dog to the park for an hour in the evening, and spend random moment throughout the day to engage with all pets in the house! I have a fenced backyard. When your pet stays with me, they'll get plenty of supervised playtime in a safe, pet-friendly environment. We'll stick to their regular feeding schedule, if needed and provide regular walks and potty breaks throughout the day.
About: Cats are lovely and each have their own character, although they can be distant at first they end up allowing me to obey their commands. I work from home, so your pup will never be alone. They will enjoy daily walks around the lake in our friendly neighborhood. Always feed only what’s on their normal diet. I follow instructions to what is recommended for each pet, as I know many may have different needs. No extra treats or foods since some pets have allergies.
“Marina and Anwar took excellent care of our pup. We received updates as requested and feel confident that our Frenchie had a great time! Will definitely be a returning customer and highly recommend!”
“Dana really took a very good care of our pet, Dasher. Our original sitter canceled last minute and I found Dana on the Rover app. She made sure Dasher felt at home, safe, loved, and cared. She was also very responsive to messages. She shared pictures of Dasher with us while we were away. I could see Dasher got really attached to Dana and was constantly looking for her while we were trying to bring him back. Recommended 100%.”
“Thanks for taking excellent care of my dog, Friday while he was recovering from a leg injury. I loved all the pictures and updates. You were great at communicating and following all my extensive instructions 😅 and also were super flexible and helpful during a stressful period. You also really cared about my dog's well being, taking him on sniffing walks and car rides and playing games with him to keep him entertained. I would 100% recommend you both to other dog parents! Thank you!”
“Kristal and Quinn were awesome with Maya and Evie. They continuously sent me updates and pics of the dogs and were always responsive when I had questions. I’d definitely book with them again.”
“Pratima is an awesome sitter! My two Labradors stayed with her over the long weekend and I got daily updates with pictures. She is very caring and communication was very easy with her. My pups had a great time and we will be back soon. I highly recommend Pratima for anyone looking for a friendly and caring sitter :) :)”
About: Hi! I’m Divya, a big dog lover and the proud owner of a Husky named Yukon, so I’m very comfortable caring for active and energetic dogs. Huskies need a lot of exercise and attention, which has given me great experience with long walks, playtime, and understanding different dog personalities. Over the years my husband and I also watched many friends’ dogs for free while they were away for a day or a weekend. Because of that, I’ve had experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I live in the East Bay and love taking dogs on long walks around the neighborhood or to nearby parks so they can get plenty of exercise and stimulation. Whether your dog needs a walk, a quick bathroom break, or someone to spend time with them while you’re out of town, I’d be happy to help. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and always try to follow each dog’s routine as closely as possible. Just let me know what your dog likes, their habits, and anything I should be aware of so I can make sure they have a great experience. I’d love to help take care of your dog and give you peace of mind while you’re away! I’m currently working from home a few times a week and available for weekend boardings. My husband and I usually are home during the week. Weekends we usually spend a lot of time with our husky. He’s super friendly not overly talkative dog and loves all dogs of all sizes. I live in a 2 bedroom apartment and have flexibility to take in a crate or use my dogs large one. We take our dog out 4-5 times a day depending on the day.
“Olga is absolutely wonderful! Hazel loved her and her family, she sent daily pictures and updates, and I had zero worries during the holiday knowing my furbaby was safe and well loved. Hazel had the best time playing with Biggie, coming home all tuckered out. It is clear how much Olga genuinely cares about animals, treating them as her own. We will definitely book again for future travel!”
