“I had something come up at the last minute and Jie couldn’t have been more accommodating. She and her family took excellent care of my dog and kept me updated (with photos) every step of the way. Highest grade.”
“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!”
“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!!”
“Very caring and attentive. Multiple pictures and short videos throughout the 2-week stay that were comforting to see. Speaking with Hong throughout the process was very easy and put my worries to rest. By pre-screening for temperament, Hong ensured that any other dogs being boarded (4 at most) would get along. I would recommend using Hong to anyone who wants a loving home and caring babysitter for their furry friend.”
“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.”
“Shaira took wonderful care of my dog Chubby. She took her out on walks and played with her. I am glad that my dog got to have her own vacation too when we were out of town. Shaira also sent us multiple updates with pictures and videos every day 💓!”
“I cannot recommend Selena highly enough! Leaving my dog with her was the best decision I made. She is a wonderful, experienced woman who treats every dog as if they are part of her own family. My pup came home happy, calm, and clearly well-loved. She provided constant, loving attention and even sent me pictures while I was away. It is so rare to find someone with such genuine passion, patience, and compassion for animals. If you want peace of mind, this is the place”
“Marina & Anwar did a great job watching our Bernedoodle for a week. They sent multiple updates per day and we had peace of mind that he was well cared for while we were away. Thank you both!”
“Charlie had a blast with Selina and was well cared for. He really loves her and during pick up, he wanted to go back into her place. He had plenty of exercise and play time, which is important to his well being. Thank you Selina.”
“Ramkumar and his family were amazing. Lola had plenty of cuddles and we knew she was in good hands. Ramkumar kept us updated on how she was doing and sent pictures. He was especially accommodating when the weather delayed our pick-up and required extending her stay. Thank you for taking such great care of Lola!”
“We are returning clients of Ken and Neo, my 2 year old female German Shepard mix loves staying with them and now is so comfortable with them 😃 always will appreciate the one on one time they spend together and their accommodating home for our fur baby.”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old, and own a small maltipoodle who loves to go on walk and meet people. I can provide excellent care for all pet breeds of different sizes. I love to spend time with all types of pets, and have been taking care of pets for 4 total years. Your pet will have a great, comfortable, and fun stay with me! I’m currently a sitter on Rover and would manage the care of pets throughout the day. I also regularly go to local libraries and I am able to tend to the care of pets when necessary. I would be able care for pets overnight as well as take them on walks as it fits into the routine of caring for personal pets. I am able to care for pets utilizing the experience that I have cultivated with my own dog. I regularly walk and feed a miniature dog and can supervise another pet and take them on bathroom breaks. Throughout the day, I can care for another pet within the house and also allow them to stay within the backyard. I could send updates and fulfill requests of owners to provide fresh water, treats, or preparing meals.
About: I provide caring and responsible pet sitting with a strong focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet like my own and always pay attention to their individual needs and routines. What sets me apart is my ability to communicate in English, Chinese, and Japanese, which helps me better understand and support pet owners from different backgrounds. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I am patient, gentle, and attentive, especially with pets who may be shy or need extra time to adjust. My goal is to create a calm and stress-free environment for both pets and owners. I work from home and spend most of my time at home, so I can give pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. My home is pet-friendly and calm, and I do not have children, which helps create a quiet and safe environment. I rarely go out except for short grocery trips on weekends, so pets are never left alone for long periods. I provide attentive and reliable pet care both in my home and at clients’ homes. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, and special instructions. Since I work from home, pets in my care receive plenty of supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I always ensure a safe, clean, and comfortable environment and keep owners updated regularly.
“Shweta took amazing care of my dog, Baby, over the weekend! Baby came home happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Shweta to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“Yenju is such a terrific doggy care taker! She was so kind and patient with our dog Kip. Her communication was consistent, timely, and very honest. Furthermore- she went out of her way to listen to me explain what Kip needed to feel safe and happy while we were traveling, and she gave him healthy snacks like boiled eggs when he wouldn't eat his food! She was also punctual and very flexible when my family was coordinating pick up times. I cannot say enough nice things about Yenju and her family caring for Kip- I will definitely be booking again!! Thank you Yenju!!”
“Thank you Nancy and Touc for giving us a great first experience on Rover! They gave us peace of mind while we were away and were incredibly communicative. Would highly recommend and will book them again!”

I would definitely book Ziying again in the future and highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve been a cat mom for over 8 years, caring for both healthy and sick cats. When my cat got ill, I learned how to safely administer subcutaneous injections and medications at home. I’m calm, gentle, and understand how to earn the trust of shy or senior cats. I always treat pets like family, and I’m happy to provide photo updates while you’re away. I'm also happy to send daily photo and video updates, so you can travel with peace of mind knowing your cat is in good hands. 你好！我是猫奴一枚，养猫超过8年，性格温和细心，擅长照顾胆小、年长或需要特殊护理的猫咪。 Je parle couramment le français. J’ai plus de 8 ans d’expérience avec les chats. N’hésitez pas à me contacter en français !
“Shirley was such a huge help for us when we went on our 12-day trip. She took care of our kitty and we were able to spend the holidays with our family with peace of mind. She was very detail oriented and proactive in terms of caring for our cat. She sent a lot of pictures and videos, which was very helpful when we miss our cat, and you can really see the close bond that they formed.”
“Chengqi was super punctual and meticulous! For each task, she provided picture proof and helpful notes for my cat's behavior. I would highly recommend working with Chengqi, and I will be sure to rebook her when needed! Thanks Chengqi!!!”
“Katelyn went way above and beyond when taking care of my cat for two days! She gave so much love to Diamond, fed him, played with him, and even washed his food bowls! I came home to a happy cat and I would definitely rebook Katelyn again.”
“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.”
“Siqin was amazing with my cat. She shared videos and pictures through out the day and it made my mommy cat heart feel at ease. Communication was excellent and I would definitely use her again.”
About: I have trained and cared for my own dogs, both small and large breeds, all of my life. As a volunteer at animal shelters here in the Bay Area and in Austin, I have learned to manage and adapt to varied—and sometimes difficult—dog personalities, temperaments, and needs.

As a retired journalist and journalism professor, I bring trustworthiness, reliability, and excellent communication to animal care.

I provide walks as needed, playtime, comforting if he or she is anxious, simple medicstions and wound-dressing, and and of course feeding and watering on their schedule.
About: Hi! My name is Celine. I’m an animal lover with personal experience caring for cats and dogs. I grew up with pets, and for the past three years I’ve been caring for my own Chow Chow. I’m not a professional pet sitter, but I’m responsible, gentle, and have helped foster pets for family friends when needed. This summer, I’ll be in the area on weekday mornings from about 9 AM to 12 PM while my child attends camp nearby.

“Our cats were very well taken care of while we were gone. We felt confident leaving them for 8 days in Jing’s care. She was very communicative and sent lots of photos! She made sure to play with them after feeding which they love. You can tell she’s passionate about cats and their well being.”
“Paige was extremely communicative, reliable and amazing! She sent update pictures for every visit and assured me that my pet bunny Luna was happy, healthy and well cared for. I was worried since most people don't have much experience with bunnies, but Paige asked thorough questions to make sure she cared for Luna in the best way possible. Would extremely recommend her!”

“Jennifer did a wonderful job caring for my cats. She is very reliable, follows instructions carefully, and always pays close attention to their individual needs. One of my cats is very shy and cautious around people, and Jennifer was incredibly compassionate and patient with her, respecting her boundaries while helping her feel safe and comfortable. It gave me great peace of mind knowing my cats were in such caring and capable hands. I highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”

As part of my care, I provide light, routine walks at a comfortable pace on flat neighborhood routes to support your dog’s daily routine and overall well-being. I have cared for dogs since childhood and have always had a strong bond with them. At the time, I fed my dogs, bathed them, walked them around the neighborhood, and played with them in my backyard.

I follow each pet’s feeding, walking, and care routine closely to ensure consistency and comfort while helping minimize extended periods of time alone.

“Rose was excellent! Super flexible and took good care of my 7 month old puppy. We did a meet and greet prior to her babysitting and when I brought my puppy back for sitting, he was super excited to see her! It looked like he had a blast from day care & when he came home he was so worn out lol. I’m very happy she was kind to him and kept him stimulated and entertained! Would definitely book again”
About: We’ve had pets all our lives. Currently, we have two cats. For the most part, someone is always WFH. The only day one of us isn’t WFH is Thursday. If we know early enough, we can flex our schedules if any sitting is needed on Thursday. We’ve watched bunnies, cats, and dogs for friends/family including giving medication. We have had no aggression from our pets with the pets we’ve watched. We have a second room(atm being used as an office/guest room), so if you want your pet separate from ours pets, that is something we can accommodate. For dogs during boarding, our household prefers dogs that tend to ignore our cats. Also, we have a preference for senior dogs since they tend to be low energy and do not require long walks to use the restroom. For cats, we have experience with all kinds of energy and ages. If you have a cat with a lot of energy, our Taro girl has shown that she loves playing with all the energetic kitties and helps them come out of their shell. However, both our cats can adapt to senior cats as they both love to lounge. We are willing to negotiate our prices if you believe your pet to be low maintenance or if for example doggy daycare, your pet would be with us for less than 7 hours. Just ask and we can see what we can do during the meet and greet. There is usually always someone at home except Thursday. If you need sitting help on a Thursday, reach out early and we can see about flexing our WFH schedule for that week. One of us is a morning person and the other an evening person in case you have a pet with a weird schedule. We ask for a clear schedule such as when to walk and feed and follow it. This information will always vary depending on the pet or even if they are on medication. For all pets, we’ve given them some space, especially from our pets and seen if they can interact or not depending on what their owners want. We also try to incorporate playtime if they want that.
“Phina watched our pooch Bolt for half a day. It was our first time trying Rover or any doggy day care service for that matter. Phina was just great and she accommodated to our last minute request despite being busy that day. Sure enough, she was extremely friendly and took good care of Bolt and made him very comfortable with her dogs. Phina’s place has a huge backyard which is a huge plus; the dogs can just chill and play around in it all day long. Bolt will surely see more of Phina :).”
“We had a great first Doggy Day Care experience with Hong. We received multiple videos and photos of Quentin looking comfortable, enjoying pets, and being with new doggy friends. She shared simple videos that helped ease my mind like Q drinking water when it was 90 degrees outside! Q seemed like his usual, happy self when we picked him up- not scared or uncomfortable. I think he had a great day! Pick up and drop off were simple and smooth. We will definitely book with Hong again.”
“After adopting our little Shit Tzu from the shelter 3 1/2 months ago, this is the first time we've had her with anyone else. This was an all-day booking and we were very pleased with the good care Yuhong took of our little dog. The first great thing is that Minnie likes her and they got along very well. She seemed comfortable at her home which gave us peace of mind, knowing she was happy and in attentive and kind hands. We highly recommend Yuhong for sitting your dog. She is versatile for cats as well, but we also appreciate that she only sits one pet at a time. We feel that gives your furry family member excellent one-on-one attention. Yuhong was receptive to our suggestions for helping to make this a positive first-time experience. She implemented our requests, was patient and kind. What more can one ask for?”

About: I've been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember and truly enjoy spending time with them. Whether it's going for walks, playtime, feeding, or giving plenty of love and attention, I make sure every pup feels safe, happy, and comfortable. I also have experience with basic obedience training and understand the importance of keeping a consistent routine. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member. I'll treat your dog like one of my own and provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. If dogs could leave reviews, mine would definitely give me **two paws up!** 🐾 As a full-time stay-at-home mom, I’m able to provide plenty of attention, care, and quality time for your pup throughout the day. Your dog will receive lots of love, supervision, playtime, and cuddles in a calm and caring home environment. I also have a very flexible schedule and am generally available any day of the week for boarding or daycare. I have a very friendly and patient golden retriever of my own that will keep your dog company. We live right near a wonderful park which would be perfect to walk your dog and let him/her play. Your dog will be super pampered with lots of love and cuddles.
About: I’ve never known a life without pets present. I grew up side-by-side with my parents’ first “baby”—a golden retriever puppy born just a few months before me—and my love for animals only grew from there. As a teen, I volunteered at local rescues, fostered animals throughout undergrad, adopted a sweet senior dog of my own, and later welcomed home my first cat: a scrappy little shelter kitten labeled “on clearance.” (Yes, really.) I’ve cared for pets of all ages, personalities, and energy levels—from zoomies-on-command puppies to nap-loving seniors. I know every animal has their own quirks, and I tailor my care to match what makes your pet feel happiest, safest, and most at ease. As a lifelong pet parent myself, I know how nerve-wracking it can be to find someone you trust. That’s why I go out of my way to make the experience feel seamless and stress-free—for both you and your pet. I’ll never treat your booking like a quick task; I genuinely love spending time with animals and want them to feel just as comfortable with me as they do with you. Expect plenty of updates, photos, and thoughtful notes after each visit. Whether your dog needs a patient buddy, a walking partner, or just someone to sit and keep them company—I’ll be there with warmth, reliability, and care you can count on. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine—I work remotely/part time with a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets the attention, exercise, and snuggles they need throughout the day. Whether it's morning walks, midday potty breaks, or evening playtime, I’m able to build my day around your pet’s needs to keep them happy and relaxed while you're away for the weekend or at the office. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or yours, their comfort and safety are always my top priority. I take time to fully get to know you and your pet’s preferences, routines, and personalities to ensure I can make their care feel as secure and stress-free as possible. I am thorough with going over and confirming all care instructions your pets need, and prioritize safety and comfort above all else. I always double-check doors (locks, keys, codes, alarms, gates), food and water levels, all care instructions for both animals and home, preferred levels of communication & updates, etc—because trust is built in the little details. I will fully accommodate any special instructions and communication preferences requested by you, as I know how nerve wracking it can be to find a care provider you trust to care not just for your furry family member, but with your residence as well! Please rest comfortably knowing it is my utmost priority to ensure your loved one is in competent, caring, trustworthy hands. _______ As a random bonus — for my Chinese clients, I am 100% fluent in Mandarin (國語/普通話). However, I am an ABC, so I would prefer English especially for written communication, but otherwise, I hope my bilingual skills make the process of finding a sitter you trust and are comfortable with even easier.
About: I have 1 year of experience caring for dogs and cats, providing feeding, walks, and playtime, ensuring their well-being and affection at all times 🐶🐕 My schedule is flexible, but I follow a calm and simple routine to help your dog feel comfortable.

“She was always on time, with a perfect attitude and providing quality walking time for my dogs. 100% recommended, they had an amazing time and came back to the apt super tired, meaning they walked a lot! Thanks for taking care of the walking process with Sola/Chanel!”
About: I raised my own Scottish Terrier from 2010 to 2022. I would walk Terry with other dogs around Lake Elizabeth anytime there was the sun in the sky I’m free anytime from 8am to 2pm. I typically go for a walk around 9am or 10am anyways throughout the week or weekends so I would love any doggy companion. I live in a brand new apartment complex by Lake Elizabeth in Fremont. I love going for daily walks and bringing dogs to the dog park or a ring around the lake!
“We were out of town for a week and had Alex come to walk our 3yr old Labrador daily. Alex did a great job, followed instructions, and provided photos and walking route everyday. We would definitely book again with Alex.”
“Andrew is an exceptional dog walker—timely, responsive, and truly attentive to my requests. My dog can be strong and tends to pull toward other dogs and people, but Andrew carefully listened to my concerns and followed my instructions perfectly. He always responds promptly to text messages and is consistently on time. Knowing that he can confidently handle my dog gives me invaluable peace of mind. Beyond that, Andrew went above and beyond when I needed a walker at the last minute. His profile states that he's available when others aren't, and that proved absolutely true. He stepped in when I was in a bind and made a stressful situation much easier. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a dependable and thoughtful dog walker!”
About: Hi, I’m Alex! I’ve done informal pet care for friends and family for about 15 years - if anyone goes out of town, they call me first! Since losing my childhood cat & dog, I’ve struggled to get another pet, but I have so much love to give 💗 I’ve taken care of cats from kitten stage to geriatric palliative care, as well as dogs of all shapes and sizes. Guaranteed to take cute pet photos! I am a full time program manager in the tech industry with very flexible hours. I can adjust my schedule to accommodate walks or drop ins. My service area is wide due to a long commute, so I’m able to cover most clients in the East Bay! I think animals thrive more while remaining in their own environment, so I prefer drop in visits or house sitting over stays in my home. I’ve done up to a 2 week stay with a pet while their owner was abroad. I do have the space for smaller animals within my condo for animals who don’t mind being uprooted!
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.
“Tiffany is great. She is punctual and dependable. Our dog Penny loves going on walks with here. Definitely recommend her for anyone needing a sweet person to walk their pet.”
About: I have pet sit two cute poodle mixes for 10 days recently and also pet sit a medium sized dog for the weekend. My sister has two large dogs with whom I have spent a lot of time! I love spending time with dogs and cats! I assure you that your pets will get a lot of play time! I go to office twice a week so I am available on most days. I am also available on weekends and weekday evenings. So, I have a pretty flexible schedule. I live in an apartment complex with place to walk dogs. It is a 2 bedroom apartment. It is a dog friendly community but has breed restrictions. Cats are welcome!
“Paige was very responsive & accommodating with our last minute request, and took great care of our dog Kiara during her walk. She was very gentle with Kiara, & it was evident that Kiara loved her walk. Will definitely be booking Paige again!”
About: We’ve had pets all our lives. Currently, we have two cats. For the most part, someone is always WFH. The only day one of us isn’t WFH is Thursday. If we know early enough, we can flex our schedules if any sitting is needed on Thursday. We’ve watched bunnies, cats, and dogs for friends/family including giving medication. We have had no aggression from our pets with the pets we’ve watched. We have a second room(atm being used as an office/guest room), so if you want your pet separate from ours pets, that is something we can accommodate. For dogs during boarding, our household prefers dogs that tend to ignore our cats. Also, we have a preference for senior dogs since they tend to be low energy and do not require long walks to use the restroom. For cats, we have experience with all kinds of energy and ages. If you have a cat with a lot of energy, our Taro girl has shown that she loves playing with all the energetic kitties and helps them come out of their shell. However, both our cats can adapt to senior cats as they both love to lounge. We are willing to negotiate our prices if you believe your pet to be low maintenance or if for example doggy daycare, your pet would be with us for less than 7 hours. Just ask and we can see what we can do during the meet and greet. There is usually always someone at home except Thursday. If you need sitting help on a Thursday, reach out early and we can see about flexing our WFH schedule for that week. One of us is a morning person and the other an evening person in case you have a pet with a weird schedule. We ask for a clear schedule such as when to walk and feed and follow it. This information will always vary depending on the pet or even if they are on medication. For all pets, we’ve given them some space, especially from our pets and seen if they can interact or not depending on what their owners want. We also try to incorporate playtime if they want that.
“Nancy is simply amazing — truly a beautiful soul. While we were away for three weeks, she took exceptional care of our German Shepherd and gave us complete peace of mind. She consistently went above and beyond, and even took the time to help my mother with our elderly dog as well. We feel incredibly fortunate and blessed to have found Nancy. I sincerely appreciate everything she has done for our family and cannot thank her enough. Highly recommended.”

About: I have 9 years of hands-on animal rescue experience including fostering, TNR work and caring for pets from outdoor rescues. Through this volunteer work and my unconditional genuine love for all animals, I’ve learned to be patient, observant, and gentle, giving each animal the time and care they need to feel safe and comfortable. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, and I make sure I have the time and flexibility to give each pet my full attention. I prioritize consistency, clear communication, and unhurried visits so pets feel relaxed and well cared for. I’m especially comfortable caring for rescue pets and understand that trust can take time, so I always move at each pet’s pace and respect their individual boundaries.

About: I have taken care of friend's and dogs of significant others over the past two decades. I have the most experience with small and big dogs. It doesn't seem like my friends have had many medium-sized dogs. From leisurely sniffer walks to 10 mile runs, I cover a wide range of doggie needs. From homebody to outdoor enthusiast, I have expreience in meeting the needs of dogs at various energy levels. I have time to do morning, noon and evening care for both cats and dogs.

I have done live-in care for friends who have dogs and cats and am always respectful of the space. My goal is to provide care as similar as possible to what the owners provide on a normal basis, to help the cat or dog feel the most comfortable while their humans are away.
About: Hi! I’ve always been an animal lover and very understanding of animal behavior. Growing up we always had dogs and now as an adult I’m a full on cat lady with two of my own. So you can say I know how to adjust to both whether it’s a crazy puppy or a fiesty cat, I’ve never had an issue. I love my pets like they’re my kids and I hope I can show your animals the same love! I currently have my availability pretty much completely open right now. Other than taking care of my own pets, I can be available to take care of others whenever! I will work with whatever set up and routine you already have for your pet to make sure they are cared for in the best way possible.
About: Since I was young, I have always loved dogs and cats. My Dad always referred to our house as Noah’s Ark because we always had so many animals. I received this love for animals from my mother. She had a gift for raising animals for very long periods of time and loved them like they were her children. She called them her fur babies and I have since followed in her foot steps. I love dogs that play fetch and cats, along with their attitude and personality. We spend time walking, playing with and laying around with our family dogs - we have three! Fury is our Chihuahua who loves to sleep all day and cuddle. Bo, our Rottie mix who enjoys walks and playing with other dogs. And our playful pup Gus, who loves to eat! Our sons also love dogs and enjoy having guest dogs around! We love animals and will treat yours as we do ours, as part of the family. My wife works from home and has time to care for and play with your fur babies! She will feed them, take them for walks and gives your dog(s) free reign of the house and yard. I have a locked and fenced atrium and backyard … and three wonderful dogs to keep them company! When it’s warm, the back slider is left open for the dogs to freely go in and out as they please. There is plenty of room for them to run around out back, front and side. They sleep whenever they’re most comfortable and can hang out on the couch or wherever they chose. As mentioned earlier, they very quickly become a part of our extended family! Since I work from home, I have time to care for, and play with your pets! We can follow the same routine they have at home. We have a fenced atrium and backyard as well as three active dogs to keep your fur babies busy! They have free reign of the home and can play or rest where they’re most comfortable!
About: I love meeting and caring for dogs, and i live in a simple and comfortable home for new dogs to come and explore. I have a playful 10 y/o Maltese that makes for a great play date. I work from home and have my own dog, so my home is well set up for fur friends to come and hang out at! I live in a 3BR with my dog. Because I have a dog, the house is doggy proof with no snacks or choking hazards lying around.

“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!”
“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!!”
“Very caring and attentive. Multiple pictures and short videos throughout the 2-week stay that were comforting to see. Speaking with Hong throughout the process was very easy and put my worries to rest. By pre-screening for temperament, Hong ensured that any other dogs being boarded (4 at most) would get along. I would recommend using Hong to anyone who wants a loving home and caring babysitter for their furry friend.”
“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.”
“Marina & Anwar did a great job watching our Bernedoodle for a week. They sent multiple updates per day and we had peace of mind that he was well cared for while we were away. Thank you both!”
“Charlie had a blast with Selina and was well cared for. He really loves her and during pick up, he wanted to go back into her place. He had plenty of exercise and play time, which is important to his well being. Thank you Selina.”
“We are returning clients of Ken and Neo, my 2 year old female German Shepard mix loves staying with them and now is so comfortable with them 😃 always will appreciate the one on one time they spend together and their accommodating home for our fur baby.”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old, and own a small maltipoodle who loves to go on walk and meet people. I can provide excellent care for all pet breeds of different sizes. I love to spend time with all types of pets, and have been taking care of pets for 4 total years. Your pet will have a great, comfortable, and fun stay with me! I’m currently a sitter on Rover and would manage the care of pets throughout the day. I also regularly go to local libraries and I am able to tend to the care of pets when necessary. I would be able care for pets overnight as well as take them on walks as it fits into the routine of caring for personal pets. I am able to care for pets utilizing the experience that I have cultivated with my own dog. I regularly walk and feed a miniature dog and can supervise another pet and take them on bathroom breaks. Throughout the day, I can care for another pet within the house and also allow them to stay within the backyard. I could send updates and fulfill requests of owners to provide fresh water, treats, or preparing meals.
“Yenju is such a terrific doggy care taker! She was so kind and patient with our dog Kip. Her communication was consistent, timely, and very honest. Furthermore- she went out of her way to listen to me explain what Kip needed to feel safe and happy while we were traveling, and she gave him healthy snacks like boiled eggs when he wouldn't eat his food! She was also punctual and very flexible when my family was coordinating pick up times. I cannot say enough nice things about Yenju and her family caring for Kip- I will definitely be booking again!! Thank you Yenju!!”
About: I have been taking care of pets basically all my life, at my grandma house we use to have a lot of animals, and she taught me the love that they need and now I want to keep sharing that love. I’m a staying at home mom for now so I have most of the time free to play with animals, give them love and take care of them. At my house we have plenty of space where they can stay and play and where I’m able to take care of them all the time
“Amazing, coordinated, educated, and detailed in her updates! Continued my girls training on her reactivity and kept my mind at ease while I was away. Will be recommending and using her from now on!”
“Janani took great care of Nico while he boarded with her for almost a week. He had a great time, and she treated him like one of her own. She kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. Would definitely book her again!”
“Pratima is amazing! She’s so welcoming and caring, and Maverick feels completely at home with her. She always keeps me updated with messages and photos, which I really appreciate. I can tell she truly loves what she does — Maverick gets so excited every time he sees her. I’m so grateful to have found someone I can fully trust with my pup!”
“I am happy we found Xiaokun. Our foster fail puppy who is a 6 month German Shepherd went to him for multiple doggy day care days and one boarding visit. She came back each time happy and tired. I really appreciated how Xiaokun followed our instructions and had great communication, especially when we boarded our pup shortly after her spay surgery. Also loved that on the doggy day care days he took our pup on awesome hikes/walks and sent pics for our peace of mind. Xiaokun has great calm energy and that definitely translated to making my pups stay a great one. Definitely recommend!”
“Dana & her family were wonderful with Bentley, Dana made sure that Bentley felt very comfortable throughout his stay. Bentley enjoyed staying with Dana and her family, he enjoyed playing in the large backyard. Dana sent us pictures of Bentley periodically and kept us well updated, she also advised us when Bentley got fussy eating his dinner, etc she eventually was able to coax him to finish his dinner. We'd love to book with her in the future as well. :)”
“This was 15 year old Peanut’s first stay with Phina and we were absolutely thrilled with everything from beforehand and pickup. Phina was happy to answer all our questions, sent twice daily updates and pictures, accommodated us for a last minute extra night when our flight was delayed. Most importantly Peanut was very alert and happy when we picked him up. I say this because as a senior dog, Peanut does not enjoy staying with strangers away from home. Peanut will definitely be staying at “Camp Phina” next time we travel!”
“Shruti and her husband boarded our fur baby for the first time this week. Charli (our fur baby) had an amazing time with them and the other dogs. I received daily updates and pictures from Shruti. Their place is spacious and has a great backyard. Will definitely use them again! Shruti was very professional and prepared us well for Charli’s stay. Thank you Shruti!”
“Sara and Raymond are amazing, they took care of Sola and were constantly providing pictures and updates. They made her feel very comfortable and happy, would recommend 200%! Thanks so much!”
“Shreeja and her husband were amazing and super sweet. My dog Tubs felt so comfortable with them and I was thankful that they were ok with him cuddling in bed with them because my boy is a little cuddle bug. They would send me multiple pictures and videos of Tubs throughout the day which made me feel less anxious about being away from him. I definitely recommend them as sitters.”
“Tianying, is accomidating, kind, understanding and professional with a clear love for dogs. She makes me feel secure that my dog is well taken care of. Pasha was in great shape when she came back to us. No issues whatsoever.”
