“We absolutely loved Shaira! She was able to help us with a last-minute booking, which we were incredibly grateful for. From the start, she was kind, attentive, and communicative. She took great care of Bibi, took her on walks, and kept us updated on how she was doing. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Bibi was in such good hands. We could tell Bibi was well loved and cared for during her stay. We are so happy we found Shaira and would absolutely trust her with Bibi again in the future. Highly recommend! ❤️🐾”
“She was absolutely sweet and send me a lot of pics and updates so we could fully enjoy our trip with peace of mind. In pictures, my dog looked so relaxed and I could tell she was taking a great care of my dog. Thank you!”
“Nina and Tony were absolutely incredible with our dog, Rain. From the moment we left for our trip, they made us feel completely at ease. They went above and beyond in every way possible, especially with their communication. We received frequent updates, thoughtful messages, and so many pictures and videos that we never had to wonder how Rain was doing. Finding someone you trust with your dog is difficult, but Nina and Tony exceeded every expectation we had. We came home to a happy pup! We would trust Nina and Tony with Rain again without a second thought. They are simply the best. Thank you soooooooooo much!”
“We had a great experience with Lily! She provided regular photos and updates throughout Bean’s stay, which gave us peace of mind. Bean is a high-energy dog, and Lily made sure she got plenty of exercise with regular walks and playtime with her dog, Tofu. Lily was very easy to work with, and we’d be happy to have Bean stay with her again.”
“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.”
“My 5-month-old puppy had a fantastic time during her stay. She made a lot of puppy friends, and Marina & Anwar treated her with excellent care, treating her like one of their own. As it was our first time leaving our puppy, they made us feel at ease by consistently sharing pictures and videos. I plan on booking with them again and would suggest their services to others.”
“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!”
“Here’s a clear, warm, and natural English translation for you: ⸻ Hong helped take care of Audi, and that’s why we were able to enjoy such a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. She’s truly the most attentive, thoughtful, and loving dog sitter I’ve ever met. Our Audi had a blast at their home every single day — plus he got beautiful photos taken, and even had toys to play with. My husband kept saying that from the photos, it looked like Audi didn’t even want to come home… like he had become someone else’s dog! 😂 We felt completely at ease the whole time. It was nothing like the time we sent him to another sitter, who watched five dogs at once. Our poor white fluff came back dirty all over, and when I went to pick him up he wouldn’t stop “complaining” at me. Even after we got home, he was still mad. I’m pretty sure he was telling me, “Why did you send me there? I’m so upset, don’t ever send me back!” 🤣 But this time was totally different. When I picked him up, he looked happy and relaxed, and he didn’t scold me at all when we got home. I even tease him sometimes by saying, “We’re going to see Mama Vicky!” and he immediately starts wagging his tail. That’s how much he loves her.”
“Thank you for a stress-free stay again! Nancy sends us photos and lets us know how our pup settles in the first few days and then periodically throughout the stay (this last stay was 2 weeks). Updates and excellent communication! Our pup loves going to their house and runs up the stairs and comes home happy and tired.”
“Alexandra was so great watching my Kali girl. She was prompt in response in booking, and sent plenty of photos/videos through the trip. I will definitely use her again!”
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.
“Cooper was well taken care of and spoiled with lots of love and attention by Marsha and her son. Will definitely keep her first in my mind for future trips ! Thanks Marsha!”
“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”
“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%.”
“Judi was absolutely incredible. She's extremely knowledgeable about dog behaviors and was so helpful with training Latte, as well as attentive and kind throughout Lattes stay. Judi sent lots of updates, videos and pictures and Latte definitely had a blast”
“Pratima was amazing with Chester! She accommodated us on short notice, was prompt with all her responses, provided us with plenty of pictures and even flexible when we wanted to extend Chester's stay. I can tell Chester had a great time with Pratima and her whole family, Chester even went back to hug her as we were picking him up! We will absolutely be bringing Chester back again!!”
“Yenju took really good care of our doggo Jupiter. Her professionalism and dedication can be shown in all her pictures and updates. Jupiter looks happy and content, even spoiled ;-).. She is a loving soul and Jupiter looks quite comfortable hanging out with her and her family. We definitely recommend her service to any one who also wants to give their pet a first class experience, and look forward to her services in the future.”
“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.”

“Johnason was great with watching our cats! We have a shy cat that quickly warmed up to him. He was very communicative and thorough. Would definitely rebook!”
“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.”
“Thomas was an excellent sitter. He followed my cat’s routine very precisely and clearly put a lot of care into every visit. His communication was outstanding, consistent updates, thoughtful notes, and photos that made me feel completely at ease while I was away. He truly went above and beyond, spending extra time to make sure my cat was comfortable and engaged. I felt very safe leaving my pet in his care and would absolutely book him again. Really 10/10 Thaank you❤️❤️❤️🙏”
About: I've had over 5 years of hands-on cat ownership experience, currently caring for my own Abyssinian cat — an active, high-energy breed that's taught me a lot about keeping curious cats stimulated and safe. I've also been involved in long-term stray cat rescue, which has given me experience with cats that are scared, injured, or need extra patience to trust a new person. I'm comfortable handling health issues — I've dealt with cat illnesses before, including taking my cat to the emergency vet when needed, so I stay calm and know when a situation requires professional attention. I'm also experienced with routine care like nail trimming, teeth brushing, and coat brushing — tasks that stress out a lot of cats, but I can handle them gently and without drama. I treat every cat in my care with the same patience and attention I give my own.
“I’ve been working with Jill for a while now. Jill is very easy to work with. I fully trust her and I know that my cat feels loved when I’m away. And last but not least, she takes the cutest pictures of my cat! I definitely recommend her!!”
“Shirley is awesome. She is communicative and sends lots of great pictures. I have a very shy cat that usually hides with new people and he comes out with Shirley. That says a lot!”
“Katelyn was truly amazing! She was fantastic at taking care of our kitties while we were away. Loved the detailed summary & pics we received after each check in. Would definitely recommend her & use her services in the future. She’s a great photographer too.”
“I had my adorable Nisco short hair with Siqin and everything went without hitch. It was urgent short notice and Siqin was able to accomodate all the way for two weeks, appreciate that.! When she not available, her husband also jumped in and provide all necessary case. Therefore, I'd fully recomm all along :) as long as they stay in business :)”
“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.”
“We have had Aurora watch our cats multiple times. She is very thorough and attentive and provides updates on how they are doing. Highly recommend her if you want peace of mind while you are away.”
“My plans changed last minute and I was so glad I was able to book with Paige! She was super communicative, respectful, and patient. Would definitely book with her again!”
About: I understand that cats need patience and respect for their space, not just attention on demand. I take time to learn each cat’s personality, notice small changes in mood or behavior, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable rather than forcing interaction.
“Jessica is a fantastic sitter! She took great care of our cat during the holiday break, even on bad weather days. I loved the photo updates and felt completely at ease knowing our cat was in such capable hands. Our cat clearly bonded with her and will miss her. She also took care of the mails, moved the trash bins and made sure that the doors were locked. Thanks Jessica!”
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.
“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.”
“Jiaqi is a phenomenal sitter. She’s super patient and accommodating to my little boy’s (Tofu) needs. It’s obvious that she loves the fur babies she’s taking care of. We got plenty of pictures and videos of Tofu while we are out of town. Tofu had a blast under Jiaqi’s care! Definitely recommend and will have her help with our kitty again!”
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.

“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: I’ve been fostering dogs with weight problems. I successfully managed their weight through strict diet and regular walks. I follow proper schedule for playtime and other activities so that the pets do their daily exercise. As a mom with grown kids, I understand the deep importance of family including the four-legged members. I am starting this new chapter of my life to help busy working parents keep their pets happy, healthy, and exercised. I have a fully secured fenced yard for play time and a foster rescue dog as a friendly companion. Feeding and playtime will be managed separately.
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. In the morning, we start with a walk and breakfast according to your instructions. During the day, your dog enjoys playtime, rest, and quiet moments in a safe environment. In the afternoon, we go for another walk and follow your feeding schedule. In the evening, I make sure your dog feels relaxed and ready for bedtime, keeping their normal routine while you are away. I live in a clean and safe apartment with a secure balcony where pets can enjoy fresh air under supervision.

“What really stood out was how thoughtful she was. Not only did she provide excellent doggy day care, but she also surprised my dog with toys, which absolutely made his day!”
“I’m so grateful we found Ranjeet and his family to care for our 6-month-old German Shepherd pup. Ranjeet is calm, reassuring, and our pup felt comfortable with him right away. Communication was smooth and prompt, and he was incredibly accommodating. I highly recommend him. Your dog will feel right at home!”
“Hong watched our dog Lylla for a daycare, and Lylla had an amazing time!! Our dog isn't the most trusting with people but she absolutely loved spending time with Hong. I was also sent updates throughout the day which was very much appreciated!! We will most definitely be bringing Lylla back to spend time with Hong 💙”
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.

She was easy to communicate with, asked questions on Miso’s habits and what she likes, and gave her plenty of attention and mental stimulation. Thanks again!”
About: What sets me apart is the time, attention, and genuine care I give every pet. I’m home full time, so your pet won’t be left alone for long hours; I’m able to stick closely to their routine, provide companionship, and quickly respond to any needs. I’m also very observant, which is especially important when caring for senior pets or those with special needs. I have experience with both dogs and cats, and I’m patient with shy, anxious, or high energy pets. Whether it’s giving extra belly rubs, helping a senior pet move around comfortably, or keeping a puppy on track with their training schedule, I focus on making sure each pet feels safe, loved, and happy. I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family. Since I stay home to support my family, I have the time and flexibility to give pets the attention they deserve. Pet care is already part of my daily routine; I’m used to feeding on schedule, cleaning up, taking pets out, and making time for play and exercise. Being home allows me to respond quickly to their needs and keep a close eye on their well-being. I genuinely enjoy the companionship and love creating a safe, calm environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. Whether pets are in my home or I’m visiting theirs, I prioritize keeping their routine as close to normal as possible to help them feel secure. At my home, I provide a clean, pet safe environment with regular feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and quiet time. I follow any special instructions, like medications or preferred toys, and keep pets supervised and comfortable. When I’m in a client’s home, I respect their space and routines. I make sure pets are fed, walked, played with, and cleaned up after according to the owner’s instructions. I also take time to bond with the pet, so they feel safe while their owner is away. I keep in touch with updates and photos, so owners know their pet is in good hands.
“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!”
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.

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.

She is punctual, communicative, trustworthy, and really went the extra mile to help me. Thanks Alani! -Max, Butters, & Lana.”

“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.”

“Nina and Tony were absolutely incredible with our dog, Rain. From the moment we left for our trip, they made us feel completely at ease. They went above and beyond in every way possible, especially with their communication. We received frequent updates, thoughtful messages, and so many pictures and videos that we never had to wonder how Rain was doing. Finding someone you trust with your dog is difficult, but Nina and Tony exceeded every expectation we had. We came home to a happy pup! We would trust Nina and Tony with Rain again without a second thought. They are simply the best. Thank you soooooooooo much!”
“We had a great experience with Lily! She provided regular photos and updates throughout Bean’s stay, which gave us peace of mind. Bean is a high-energy dog, and Lily made sure she got plenty of exercise with regular walks and playtime with her dog, Tofu. Lily was very easy to work with, and we’d be happy to have Bean stay with her again.”
“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.”
“My 5-month-old puppy had a fantastic time during her stay. She made a lot of puppy friends, and Marina & Anwar treated her with excellent care, treating her like one of their own. As it was our first time leaving our puppy, they made us feel at ease by consistently sharing pictures and videos. I plan on booking with them again and would suggest their services to others.”
“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!”
“Here’s a clear, warm, and natural English translation for you: ⸻ Hong helped take care of Audi, and that’s why we were able to enjoy such a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. She’s truly the most attentive, thoughtful, and loving dog sitter I’ve ever met. Our Audi had a blast at their home every single day — plus he got beautiful photos taken, and even had toys to play with. My husband kept saying that from the photos, it looked like Audi didn’t even want to come home… like he had become someone else’s dog! 😂 We felt completely at ease the whole time. It was nothing like the time we sent him to another sitter, who watched five dogs at once. Our poor white fluff came back dirty all over, and when I went to pick him up he wouldn’t stop “complaining” at me. Even after we got home, he was still mad. I’m pretty sure he was telling me, “Why did you send me there? I’m so upset, don’t ever send me back!” 🤣 But this time was totally different. When I picked him up, he looked happy and relaxed, and he didn’t scold me at all when we got home. I even tease him sometimes by saying, “We’re going to see Mama Vicky!” and he immediately starts wagging his tail. That’s how much he loves her.”
“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%.”
“Judi was absolutely incredible. She's extremely knowledgeable about dog behaviors and was so helpful with training Latte, as well as attentive and kind throughout Lattes stay. Judi sent lots of updates, videos and pictures and Latte definitely had a blast”
“Pratima was amazing with Chester! She accommodated us on short notice, was prompt with all her responses, provided us with plenty of pictures and even flexible when we wanted to extend Chester's stay. I can tell Chester had a great time with Pratima and her whole family, Chester even went back to hug her as we were picking him up! We will absolutely be bringing Chester back again!!”
“Yenju took really good care of our doggo Jupiter. Her professionalism and dedication can be shown in all her pictures and updates. Jupiter looks happy and content, even spoiled ;-).. She is a loving soul and Jupiter looks quite comfortable hanging out with her and her family. We definitely recommend her service to any one who also wants to give their pet a first class experience, and look forward to her services in the future.”
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
“It was a pleasure having Raya stay with Neo and Ken. The dogs hit it off right away and Ken was so good with updating us for her entire stay. I would highly recommend him and we will definitely do future boarding with him.”
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.
“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!”
“Phina is great! We have been using her services for some time now and feel very comfortable having her look after our dog. She communicates well and keeps us informed everyday. Our dog plays in her fenced backyard and makes friends while he's there.”
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.
“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!”
“We boarded our two dogs (one of which is deaf) for an extended weekend at Caddie's. Caddie sent regular videos and photos of the dogs from the moment we dropped them off to the time of pickup. Caddie maintained communication the whole time, asking questions about our deaf dog's command language and other care needs. She also provided updates about their food intake. Caddie and her family not only played and walked our dogs daily, they also cleaned and groomed them often. Our dogs were definitely pampered during their stay. Caddie's home is like a second home. We will certainly consider Caddie for our future dog boarding needs.”
“Matthew has shown so much care for both our cute Lilo and ourselves. He took the time and effort to bond with Lilo, along with his lovely daughter, and left Lilo and us with the clear feeling that Lilo is in the best possible hands. Thank you Matthew!”
