“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!!”
“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.”
“Jay is a kind and wonderful dog boarder. Our cattledog, Arrow, was so well taken care of and was so relaxed during his stay with Jay. We got several timely updates with pictures and Arrow looked perfectly content in the new environment. I would highly recommend Jay and will be using his service again.”
“Nancy was a great host for my dog. She was very responsive and provided me frequent pictures. She and Toucalit are really nice and my dog looks like he had a great time. Thank you both so much!”
“This is Mochi's first time ever boarding. We couldn't have picked a better sitter. Mochi loved being in her backyard watching the cats and birds nearby. She was happy and secure sleeping in the large open kennel. She had nice long walks with her boarding friend Ava. I would definitely book with her again.”
“SO GREAT! This was POLAR opposite of our very first experience using Rover. SO GLAD WE TRIED ROVER AGAIN! Jie and her family took such good care of our dog. She gave us piece of mind with her responses to our text and photos sent while we were away. A five day stay and what a relief to know our pup was SAFE, loved, being well cared for and looked after. All of the things she says will happen do! When we picked our fur-ball up she was happy and healthy! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!”
“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!”
“Diana took care of my 5mo for five days on his first time away from home. She was responsive and communicative throughout the week, sending daily photos and videos of their walks. Raphael was well cared for: fed on schedule, walked regularly, and returned home healthy. He’s going through a fear period and Diana was patient and adapted well to his needs, which I really appreciated. She was warm and caring with him. For future bookings I’d suggest more indoor photos so owners can see how their dog is settling at home, not just during walks. Overall I felt at peace leaving Raphael with her, she’s a reliable sitter who kept my puppy safe and I would recommend her professional expertise to other dog parents! Gracias Diana!”
“Ken was great! Ken asked great questions to understand Twiggles’ needs during the meet and greet. Getting back an exhausted dog was a great sign of a good stay with Ken and Neo.”
“Marsha is always so amazing with my dog Mocha. Mocha loves seeing her and spending time with her :) Thank you so much for always taking great care of her and sending me photos and videos!!”
“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!”
About: I absolutely LOVE dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes, and I just want to be their best friend! I currently have a cat and have previously fostered a large dog and hosted dogs in my home for up to one week while their owners were out of town. I'd love to do drop-in visits to make sure your pet is well taken care of while you're away. I also offer doggie daycare if your dog has separation anxiety and just needs someone to cuddle and play with them while you're at work! I have lots of experience caring for cats as well as experience with dog sitting for extended periods of time. I’m very patient with getting to know new animals and earn their trust. I have experience caring for puppies to senior dogs of all sizes and will cater to your dog's individual energy level and personality. I have also taken care of many different cats of all ages and personalities. I'm very willing to work with you and your fur baby to make sure that that all of his/her needs are met, and most importantly that you feel comfortable knowing that your pet is happy well taken care of. I have experience administering medication to cats (i.e. pills and other oral medication). For drop-in visits, I’m also more than happy to help with any chores around the house if needed, such as watering plants and bringing in the mail. I'm fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and have also gotten three booster shots, including the bivalent booster I’m currently working on a hybrid schedule, so I’ll be home during the weekdays on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Since my job is mostly sitting at a desk all day, I’d love any excuse to get outdoors to get some exercise and take your dogs on long walks! If your dog likes to play fetch, I keep a whole bag of tennis balls on hand just for the dogs I take care of. Your pet will be treated as if he/she were my own and will receive all the love and belly scratches while they're in my care. I'll make sure that they have enough food and water and spend time playing and/or cuddling with them. I'll also send lots of photos after each visit.
“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 💓!”
“Dana was a great sitter and gave me peace of mind during the doggy day care visit! She sent over photo updates regularly. Additionally, she listened intently to my instructions for my two dogs and took great care of them. They came home happy, and tired from a great day at Dana’s. Also a bonus she has a nice grassy yard for my dogs to freely roam in!”
“Judi has been fantastic with our two boxer girls! We’ve used her services multiple times and always feel confident that they’re in great hands. She provides frequent updates, is highly responsive, and takes wonderful care of them. We truly appreciate her and highly recommend her services. Thank you, Judi!.”
About: I have extensive experience in dog care, having worked with various breeds and temperaments. I prioritize providing a safe and comfortable environment (my home is situated in 10,000 sq ft fenced lot) for all the dogs I board, ensuring they feel at home while away from their owners. One of the key aspects of my care is offering homemade, fresh meals tailored to each dog's dietary needs, which I prepare daily. This personal touch ensures the dogs receive the best nutrition and maintain their health while in my care. I also make sure to provide regular exercise, attention, and grooming to keep them happy and well-cared for. Pet care is a central part of my daily routine, and I make sure to allocate specific time for each task to ensure the pets receive the attention and care they need. Each morning, I start by feeding the pets homemade, fresh meals, followed by a walk or playtime for exercise. Throughout the day, I monitor their well-being, providing additional activities, grooming, and companionship. In the evening, I ensure they get a final meal and some quiet time before settling in for the night. Pet care is seamlessly integrated into my schedule, and I always prioritize their health, happiness, and comfort. I have huge fenced yard and one dog to create homely environment. I like to hang out with furry companions and provide TLC for their comfort 😃

“Bianca was an excellent drop-in sitter for our cat! She followed our instructions, as well as documented each drop-in thoroughly. It was our first time leaving our cat at home for a trip and we were a little nervous, but Bianca’s kindness and diligence gave us great peace of mind. She also accommodated us when our plans changed last minute when coming home from our trip. Highly recommend booking Bianca to drop in and watch your fur babies!”
“We had a great experience with Johnason. He followed all our instructions carefully and sent regular updates. Our cat was well cared for, and we really appreciated his reliability and kindness. Thank you”
“Ziying was a wonderful cat sitter for our drop-in visits. She is very kind, caring, and easy to communicate with. She kept me updated before visit and shared lots of photos and videos, which I really appreciated. My cats were well taken care of, and I felt completely at ease. I would definitely book Ziying again in the future and highly recommend her.”
“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!”

“Shirley did an amazing job watching our 2 cats!! Our cats quickly warmed up to her and were always happy to see her. Shirley followed the instructions left very well and was always communicative and good about leaving notes and photos. Shirley also went above and beyond and helped us with a package issue during one of the visits. Would definitely book again, thanks so much Shirley!”
“I was initially apprehensive of leaving Oreo with a sitter, since he's a strong XL dog who can be reactive to other dogs. But I knew he was in safe hands with Su. Su took wonderful care of our dog during her drop in visits, and gave us cute pictures of Oreo with each of her visits. I didn't have to worry at all about Oreo during my trip.”
“Tianying is easy to communicate with, and went above and beyond. Our cat needs medicine daily for diabetes, and we came home to a happy cat with good blood sugar level”
About: I genuinely care about animals and treat them like family. I enjoy spending time with them and build strong emotional bonds. Many of my friends trust me to care for their pets because I am patient, reliable, and attentive to their needs. I work from home and can regularly visit your home to spend time with your pets, feed them, and play with them on weekdays and weekends. I primarily care for pets in my clients’ homes because I believe they feel safest and most comfortable in their familiar environment. I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to spend extended time with pets during the day — providing companionship, playtime, feeding, and regular check-ins rather than only short visits. When I am in a client’s home, I always respect their space and follow all house rules and care instructions. I keep doors and windows secure, ensure pets stay in safe areas, and never bring visitors or outside animals into the home. I follow each pet’s daily routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, cleaning, and medication if needed, so their lifestyle remains consistent and stress-free. I pay careful attention to body language and behavior to make sure pets feel relaxed and emotionally supported. I provide frequent updates and photos so owners always know how their pets are doing. My goal is to create a calm, safe, and trustworthy environment — and to care for every pet with the same patience and respect I would give to my own family.
About: I trained my puppy to put her head on my hand when she wants the treat. Provide gentle pet care, walks, and fluffy cuddles await your beloved pets! Passionate about extending love and playtime to all furry friends! I have plenty of time to spend to make dreams of furry happiness come true! I am mostly free on weekends and some weekdays and would love to spend my time with fluffies! I ensure a safe environment, adore grooming for close observation, punctual for companionship, and create comfortable spaces as needed in home setting. I emphasize on attentive care and engaging dog walks, making sure my dog receives the most lovely, safety, and tailored attention.
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. I’d be happy to help with simple pet care needs, such as a short walk, quick check-in, feeding, or fresh water. 嗨，我是Celine,我很喜欢动物，有照顾猫狗和帮亲友寄养宠物的经验，今年夏天因为我自己的孩子参加的夏令营在Fremont 所以我工作日9-12点我都会在附近可以帮忙遛狗，上门喂食换水，短时间陪伴。
“Siqin did a great job taking care of Beanie, our cat. She provided timely updates, photos and videos throughout the sitting period, which gave us peace of mind. We really appreciated her attentive and reliable care!”
About: I’ve cared for cats through every stage of life, from playful kittens to sweet senior cats who need a little extra patience, comfort, and attention. I understand that every cat has their own personality, routine, and boundaries, so I take the time to let them warm up at their own pace and feel safe in their own space. What sets me apart is my calm, gentle, and patient approach. Whether your cat is social and affectionate, shy and independent, playful, or cautious with new people, I’ll meet them where they are. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, brushing if needed, medication, and giving regular updates so you feel connected while you’re away. I know cats are happiest when their routines are respected, so I’ll follow your instructions closely and care for your cat with the same love, attention, and respect I would give my own.

About: I focus on providing consistent, in-home care so pets can remain comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for in their own environment. I am fully insured and currently accepting new clients.

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 always had a special bond with my dogs and was very protective of them. I bring that same protective, loving care to every dog I look after. I provide in-home pet sitting and dog walking services within the city of Fremont, CA. I care for dogs one year of age and older, with a primary focus on in-home care where pets receive plenty of time, attention, and companionship. I specialize in dog care and am not currently accepting cat-only bookings. Basic care for household cats may be included during house sitting visits for an additional fee. Dog walking is provided at a light pace on flat, neighborhood routes and is best suited for dogs who enjoy a relaxed, low-intensity routine. My current availability is primarily weekends, along with limited evening availability depending on schedule. I offer daytime visits, drop-in visits, walks, and overnight stays within Fremont. I follow each pet’s feeding, walking, and care routine closely to ensure consistency and comfort while helping minimize extended periods of time alone. Please send me a message with your dates and pet details, and we can arrange a Meet & Greet. I look forward to caring for your pet. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine so pets feel comfortable, secure, and relaxed. I make sure food, water, light walks, and potty breaks are handled on schedule, provide playtime and companionship, and always keep the home safe and tidy. In the event of illness or an emergency, I will contact you immediately and follow your designated veterinary instructions. If needed, I will also contact Rover’s 24/7 Trust & Safety Support for guidance. I ask that all clients provide an emergency contact who is located nearby and able to assist with transport or additional support if required.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Grimmer
Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
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.
“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”

Of course every dog has different needs which I do my best to cater to.

“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 lucky to care for dogs, cats, and bunnies through every stage of life, from playful puppies and kittens to sweet senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I’ve also pet sat for others for extended periods of time, including 4 to 6 weeks at a time, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets and home in someone else’s hands. I care for each pet like they’re part of my own family. I take the time to learn their routine, personality, likes, dislikes, and comfort level so they feel safe, loved, and understood while you’re away. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, all dog sizes, and pets who need medication or a little extra attention. Whether your pet is playful and energetic, shy and cautious, cuddly, independent, or in their senior years, I’ll meet them where they are with patience, kindness, and lots of love. My goal is to give you peace of mind and make your pet feel comfortable, cared for, and never alone. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my day. I’m happy to make time for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting based on your pet’s needs. I understand how important consistency is, so I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine for feeding, walks, playtime, medication, and companionship. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel comfortable and connected while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I know it can feel stressful to leave your pet in someone else’s care, so I do everything I can to make the experience as smooth and reassuring as possible for both you and your pet. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll follow your instructions closely and maintain their normal routine as much as possible. Whether that includes feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication, litter box care, cuddle time, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure their needs are met with patience and attention. I understand that pets thrive on consistency, and keeping their routine familiar helps them feel secure while you’re away. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual personality and comfort level. Some pets love lots of interaction and play, while others prefer a calmer approach and need time to build trust. I’m happy to adapt my care to what makes your pet feel most comfortable and relaxed. Safety is extremely important to me. I’m careful with doors, gates, leashes, harnesses, and home access, and I always double-check that pets are secure before entering or leaving the home. I also pay attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy level, or anything else that may be important, and I’ll communicate with you promptly if I notice any concerns. I’ll treat your home with the same respect and care that I would want someone to show my own. You can also expect regular updates and photos so you can feel connected and reassured while you’re away. My goal is for you to return to a happy, comfortable pet and have complete peace of mind knowing they were cared for with kindness, responsibility, and genuine affection.
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!
“Charlene is absolutely wonderful with our dog! She’s our go-to for walks three days a week and has been incredibly reliable and attentive. She communicates clearly, always gives thoughtful updates, and I can tell she genuinely cares. I always feel confident that our dog is safe and well taken care of when he’s with her. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“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.”
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.
About: I've trained and cared for my own dogs, both small and large breeds, all of my life. I've also volunteered extensively for shelters, walking and fostering all kinds of dogs. I'm also trained my own horses, giving me a strong sense of how to communicate with animals. I work from home on my own flexible schedule. As a result, i can accommodate your and your pets' schedules on weekdays as well as weekends. I can provide whatever your pet needs: walks as needed, playtime, comforting if he or she is anxious, and of course feeding and watering on their schedule.
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!
About: I have owned two dogs and two cats. The dogs were Corgis and they were absolutely adorable. Currently, the Corgi named "Tian Mou" is always by my side. I love him so much. I have plenty of time and I love dogs and cats. It's very convenient for me to take care of them.I love pets so much! I really love dogs and cats. I think I can provide them with excellent companionship and care.I love pets so much! I will take care of them as my own kids
“Fatima was very responsive and quick with the booking process. She communicated well and was gracious in accepting a last minute request. She arrived on time and didn't have any difficulty managing my big dog. Kristal (my dog) was super happy and pleasantly tired the rest of the day. Thank you Fatima.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs since childhood, have a huge backyard for dog sitting, and love taking dogs on hikes around the neighbourhood! Your dog will love hanging out with me 🤞 I’m currently on summer break from school so I’m free on all weekdays. In the meantime I’d love to spend time taking care of dogs! When dog sitting, I always make sure that the dogs are well fed and hydrated. I also spend a lot of time engaging with them by playing fetch and tug of war. Of course every dog has different needs which I do my best to cater to.

“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!!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Ken was great! Ken asked great questions to understand Twiggles’ needs during the meet and greet. Getting back an exhausted dog was a great sign of a good stay with Ken and Neo.”
“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!”
About: I absolutely LOVE dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes, and I just want to be their best friend! I currently have a cat and have previously fostered a large dog and hosted dogs in my home for up to one week while their owners were out of town. I'd love to do drop-in visits to make sure your pet is well taken care of while you're away. I also offer doggie daycare if your dog has separation anxiety and just needs someone to cuddle and play with them while you're at work! I have lots of experience caring for cats as well as experience with dog sitting for extended periods of time. I’m very patient with getting to know new animals and earn their trust. I have experience caring for puppies to senior dogs of all sizes and will cater to your dog's individual energy level and personality. I have also taken care of many different cats of all ages and personalities. I'm very willing to work with you and your fur baby to make sure that that all of his/her needs are met, and most importantly that you feel comfortable knowing that your pet is happy well taken care of. I have experience administering medication to cats (i.e. pills and other oral medication). For drop-in visits, I’m also more than happy to help with any chores around the house if needed, such as watering plants and bringing in the mail. I'm fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and have also gotten three booster shots, including the bivalent booster I’m currently working on a hybrid schedule, so I’ll be home during the weekdays on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Since my job is mostly sitting at a desk all day, I’d love any excuse to get outdoors to get some exercise and take your dogs on long walks! If your dog likes to play fetch, I keep a whole bag of tennis balls on hand just for the dogs I take care of. Your pet will be treated as if he/she were my own and will receive all the love and belly scratches while they're in my care. I'll make sure that they have enough food and water and spend time playing and/or cuddling with them. I'll also send lots of photos after each visit.
“Dana was a great sitter and gave me peace of mind during the doggy day care visit! She sent over photo updates regularly. Additionally, she listened intently to my instructions for my two dogs and took great care of them. They came home happy, and tired from a great day at Dana’s. Also a bonus she has a nice grassy yard for my dogs to freely roam in!”
“Judi has been fantastic with our two boxer girls! We’ve used her services multiple times and always feel confident that they’re in great hands. She provides frequent updates, is highly responsive, and takes wonderful care of them. We truly appreciate her and highly recommend her services. Thank you, Judi!.”
About: I have extensive experience in dog care, having worked with various breeds and temperaments. I prioritize providing a safe and comfortable environment (my home is situated in 10,000 sq ft fenced lot) for all the dogs I board, ensuring they feel at home while away from their owners. One of the key aspects of my care is offering homemade, fresh meals tailored to each dog's dietary needs, which I prepare daily. This personal touch ensures the dogs receive the best nutrition and maintain their health while in my care. I also make sure to provide regular exercise, attention, and grooming to keep them happy and well-cared for. Pet care is a central part of my daily routine, and I make sure to allocate specific time for each task to ensure the pets receive the attention and care they need. Each morning, I start by feeding the pets homemade, fresh meals, followed by a walk or playtime for exercise. Throughout the day, I monitor their well-being, providing additional activities, grooming, and companionship. In the evening, I ensure they get a final meal and some quiet time before settling in for the night. Pet care is seamlessly integrated into my schedule, and I always prioritize their health, happiness, and comfort. I have huge fenced yard and one dog to create homely environment. I like to hang out with furry companions and provide TLC for their comfort 😃
“Stephen watched my dog Zuko for the second time and my other dog nori for the first! He updated me with photos and we had a great meet and greet. He’s definitely my go to dog sitter when I know I’m going to be out of town.”
“Phina took great care of Motzi and he had a fun time at her place with the other dogs. She was constantly in communication and made us feel comfortable while being away.”
“She took great care of my two doodles and sent me photos and videos every day. I could tell that the dogs were happy staying with her! She also kept them clean, even after all the walks she had taken them out for. Highly recommend! I'm rebooking her for sure!!”
“Shruti and Gautham are very kind and are very accommodating dog sitters. They already have a large breed at theirs so it was very relieving and didn’t have a worry much about running them through big dog details. We are very glad we found them on rover and although Leo is nervous at new place he did great for the first time with them and I am pretty sure he’ll only get comfortable and be excited to go to them in no time. Thanks for taking care of Leo guys”
“Tianying kept Pasha, our dog, extremely active and engaged the whole time suring her overnight stay. She was very flexible and accomidating and kept Pasha in good shape. She also sent us a bunch of cute photos and videos. I would heartily recommend them.”
“Ashita took care of our Maltipoo Ollie for 10 days while we were traveling in Australia, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. She was incredibly responsive the entire time and kept us updated constantly with pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind being halfway across the world. Ollie clearly had a great time with her — he was happy, relaxed, and well cared for when we got back. We'd absolutely book Akita again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, communicative sitter!”
“Janelle was a life saver after our other booking cancelled last minute before our trip. She was really sweet and made sure that Kashi felt comfortable at all times.”
“Joey and Coco had a wonderful time staying with Nicole. She sent me frequent updates about their activity and kept them engaged throughout their stay. I will definitively be rebooking their stay with her the next time I need to travel.”
“Emma is a great dog sitter who takes amazing care of all dogs. She is very caring and understanding to all dogs and makes them feel at home. Emma is the perfect dog sitter!”
