“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.”
“Nina and Tony are amazing! They were so good with our sweet Pebbles while we went away for over a week. We can tell Pebbles had a blast, they took care of her like she was their own. They are also just very nice people, great updates and easy going. Pebbles made a couple of new best friends and she will absolutely be going back some time!”
“Marsha was so sweet and sent us pictures of the Dogs during their stay. She was very good at communicating and sending pictures of our dogs. Definitely would board with her 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!”
“I am lucky to have Lily taking care of my dog, Apollo for 24 days during my vacation. Lily gave me daily picture update of Apollo. My family was happy to see him even though we were thousand miles away. Lily also played balls with Apollo and playing ball is Apollo's favorite toy. I highly recommend Lily taking care of your dog.”
“Diana took amazing care of my dog, Romeo, while I was away. It’s never easy leaving your fur baby behind, but knowing he was in such loving and responsible hands gave me complete peace of mind. Diana treated Romeo like family she was attentive, patient, and made sure he was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of. I truly appreciate her updates and the extra love she gave him. I highly recommend Diana to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dogsitter. Thank you so much, Diana!”
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.
“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. :)”
“We were very happy with the care our pup received with Janine and her family. We were nervous as this was Lola’s first time away from us. Regular walks, lots of interactions and playtime; Janine gave us regular updates and answered all our questions. We will be back for any future care for Lola and would highly recommend Janine!”
“Melody took great care of Jarvis again! She stayed on top of his food and medication just like last time and treated him like her own. I really appreciate how detailed she is. She kept notes on his potty breaks, meals, meds, and even sleep, which gives me so much peace of mind especially with his medical needs. She’s reliable, attentive, and clearly cares a lot. I’d definitely book with her again!”
“I’m very happy with the service I received! My dog stayed with Siqin and her husband for a couple of days, and it was a great experience. Siqin was very kind and responsive—she kept me updated regularly with photos and videos, which gave me peace of mind. My dog clearly enjoyed her time with them and was well taken care of. I would definitely recommend Siqin to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“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.”
“Guava really enjoyed her stay with Judy and we even got some tips on training her. I have already booked another stay with Judy. We got plenty of pics and videos during the stay and I am very happy with how the reservation turned out.”
“Kaila and Jay were awesome taking care of Louie! They kept me updated on his activities and took him to the park for walks. I could see through videos and pics that he was happy at their place. Kaila kept me informed of his behavior and any change she’d see. Louie found a spot on the couch just like he does at home, so I knew that he was very comfortable with them. Thank you so much for taking care of Louie for the past 10 days! I’m sure he’ll miss you too. I hope you’re available next time we need it!”
“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!”
“We had a great experience with Pratima.. She is reliable & attentive. From the start, communication was smooth and reassuring— Pratima kept us updated with messages and photos, which really put our mind at ease while we were away. Both my dogs were happy, well-cared for, and comfortable. It’s clear Pratima took the time to understand our dogs routine and needs. We definitely recommend Pratima to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter, and we’ll be happy to book with them again in the future.”
“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”
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 😃

“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’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: Our own furbabies are reactive so I definitely know the struggles of finding someone who understands! I’ve learned a lot of knowledge from our trainer and am very detail oriented/structured when it comes to providing care! I currently work full time but am looking for another source of income when I am free! I am a teacher so I have breaks off when the children do, and have plenty of weekends off as well for date nights, vacations, etc! I only provide pet care in clients home, as boarding in my own home would cause stress to our reactive dogs. Open to learning and sticking to your schedule as much as possible so your furbaby doesn’t experience too much of a drastic change without you there!
“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!!”
“We really appreciate the wonderful care you provided for our kitten. You consistently fed her on schedule, were very responsive to messages, and shared timely updates that gave us peace of mind while we were away. We also loved seeing that you spent quality playtime with her and kept her engaged and happy. Thank you for being so attentive, reliable, and caring—we would be happy to have you watch our kitten again in the future!”
“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!”
“My babies love her, and that’s what matters most to me! It feels great to come home after a trip and see that everything went well. I know I’ve found someone we can truly trust. Thank you again! :)”
“Jinhao was a pleasure to work with! He is very easy to communicate with and very responsive, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. He arrived right on time and it’s obvious he has a lot of experience and a genuine love for animals. My cat Sumo took to him almost immediately! Jinhao took care of all the essentials: feeding, fresh water, and scooping the litter, and also spent quality time playing with Sumo. I felt completely at ease knowing my cat was in such good hands. I will definitely be booking with him again in the future.”
“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!”
“Jingyi was a wonderful cat sitter, and I appreciate her attention to detail and care for my two cats through drop-in visits! She followed my instructions, took awesome pictures/videos, and gave great updates. She even noticed that my litter robot wasn't working as expected and let me know promptly and helped resolve the situation. I'd highly recommend her :)”
“Rebooked with Andrew because I can't imagine trusting my precious baby cat and dog with anyone else! You'd think Andrew was Santa-Claws (ha, get it) from the way my dog IMMEDIATELY starts whining in excitement when he realizes "Uncle Andrew" is going to come spend time with him. My cat, who has NEVER voluntarily crawled onto my lap to sit and chill, is the total opposite with Andrew. He's both the cat AND the dog whisperer, and it's awesome. Andrew's great as always - punctual, caring, communicative, all the things that make for an excellent, trustworthy, above and beyond pet care giver.”
“Shoutout to Karem and her partner for taking amazing care of my kitty while I was away! They sent lots of updates and my kitty felt so comfortable with them by day 2. My cat can take a minute to warm up but they made her feel so comfortable that she was doing full belly rubs within days. I would 10/10 recommend if you’re looking for a trustworthy and loving boarding option!”
“Kruti was great! She communicated every step of the way and didn’t hesitate to ask questions. Also, she did well in playing with Luna (my cat) and was very thoughtful.”
“Kaitlyn was a great cat sitter! She stayed with our two cats for several days without any issues. She kept our cats happy and sent pictures each day. Will definitely book with her again!”
About: I love cats and enjoy spending time caring for them. I am patient, gentle, and attentive to each cat’s personality and needs. I can help with feeding, cleaning litter boxes, playing, and making sure cats feel safe and comfortable.

“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”
“Beth is one of the best sitters I’ve met. Very communicative and always on time. Crea loves her so so so much!! She gives homemade dehydrated chicken treats to her and show her around the area! Already repeating my booking w Beth. 😍”
“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!”
“Nicole is awesome! She sent me updates throughout the day which I really appreciated receiving at work. My dog gets nervous around bigger dogs and avoids them but her husky was well behaved which was evident by how comfortable Zoey seemed around her. Nicole walked Zoey wI highly recommend Nicole if you want to know your dog will be well taken care of.”

“Phina did a great job taking care of my 5 1/2 month corgi (Mabel). Phina was also amazing at providing photo and general updates (successful potty, lunch, etc) without me having to even ask. Additionally, she was great with response time whenever I messaged her via rover. It’s very apparent that Phina has considerable experience caring for dogs and cares about providing exceptional service to her clients. I can see why she has so many post I’ve reviews.”

“Pratima is great. She took on my pup for long term daycare while my partner and I work long hours. She is very accommodating and takes the time to learn all of my dog's tendencies to provide the best care for her. She works from home so I'm glad to know that my pup always has someone to be around.”
“Thank you Jie for taking good care of Archie ! Jie sent us photos and videos of Archie and was responsive to our messages. She is also very friendly. Archie enjoyed the stay and we’ll definitely rebook Jie in the future.”
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 owned and took care pets through out my life. I love animals and treat them like my friends. I will take care your pets the same way I would treat them as my own.

I have a fenced yard for your dog to play in. I can also walk your dog around my nice neighborhood as needed.

“Elise is an amazing dog sitter! This was my puppy’s first time staying with her and she made the whole experience so stress-free. She sent many pictures, videos and updates throughout the day which gave me so much peace of mind. My puppy looked so happy while in her care and came home ready for a long nap. Elise went above and beyond to make sure my puppy was comfortable in the new environment. She even gave her a nail trim and sent her home with a sweet treat! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter, I’ll definitely be brining my puppy back to her!”
“I recently took my dog Charlie to daycare with Isabella, and the experience was fantastic! Isabella was extremely detailed, friendly, and made me feel completely at ease leaving him with her. She asked thoughtful questions during the booking process and gave us a thorough tour of the daycare area, which definitely reassured me. Charlie had a great time and was happy and relaxed when I picked him up. I’m definitely going to rebook with Isabella in the future. I highly recommend Isabella and her daycare service.”

“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: 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: Hi!! My name is Aurora and I’m so excited to take care of your furr baby or babies! I have years of experience taking care of a wide range of pets from cats to big and small breed doggies. I love animals and believe they are a member of the family and should be treated as such! I have been relied on for walking my friends and neighbors doggies, cat sitting, and routine check ins to ensure that their fur babies are happy, healthy and, most of all, not lonely! As you can see from my pictures, my partner and I have three amazing fur babies, two of which are cats and one big doggy. Our two cats are Hela and Athena and our big goofy fluff ball of a doggie is named Loki. Because I raised my little family members from babies, I am more than comfortable taking care of puppies or kittens also! Pet care fits easily into my schedule — I work Monday-Friday 8-4pm—, leaving early mornings, evenings, and the rest of the weekends open for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s usual routine—feeding, walks, play, and any special instructions—so they feel secure and cared for in their familiar space.

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 provide expert, heart-centered care for all ages—from puppy training and "zoomies" to gentle senior medication and mobility support. Your pet's safety and happiness come first. Pet care fits seamlessly into my part-time schedule. I dedicate mornings, evenings, and weekends to focused walks, puppy play, and senior care, ensuring your pet’s routine stays consistent. I provide a consistent environment with safe, supervised play, frequent potty breaks, and cozy rest areas. I strictly follow your home rules and medication schedules.
About: I've taken care of my friend's dogs, ranging from young to older dogs. I live in a neighborhood that has a nice trail for long walks. I also live near a dog park that is a mile walk away! The previous landlord of my house owned a dog and left a lot of toys and dog beds! I am currently a full-time student on a hybrid school schedule. Most of my day is free, and I can watch pets while I study or play/walk them when I need a break! I have flexibility throughout the week and day. Pets are free to roam around the house if they are potty trained. I am typically home most of the day, but if I need to run a few errands, I can take the pets with me or have them stay in the house alone for no longer than an hour.
About: I've always had a natural connection with animals and genuinely love being around dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’ve been dog sitting since 2015, mostly for my sister’s pup—daily walks, feeding, brushing, baths, the whole routine. I’ve also cared for my friends’ dogs and always seem to become instant buddies with every dog I meet. For shy or anxious pups, I’m patient and let them warm up at their own pace. I adjust to whatever each dog needs—some like playtime, some just want quiet company. I truly love dogs, and honestly, my lifelong mission is to pet every dog in the world and make them happy—because they deserve it. I work full-time, but my schedule’s pretty flexible. I’ve got time for walks, check-ins, or hanging out with your pup. I’m happy to work around what your dog needs and keep their routine as normal as possible. Whether I’m in your home or mine, I always make sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and cared for. I follow any routines you set, keep things clean, and make sure they’re never left alone for too long. I treat every dog like they’re my own—lots of love, attention, and respect for their space and personality. I know how important trust is, and I’ll always keep you updated so you feel at ease too.
About: Dog Experience: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. When I was growing up, I owned and trained a black Labrador, and later our family adopted a Golden Retriever Labrador mix. My favorite doggy adventures were running on the beach with our sweet Honey, and then bathing her before coming in the door. She passed away last summer due to cancer, and I miss her very much. I currently volunteer at the East Bay SPCA. I am an active member of the Jog-A-Dog program, and exercise shelter dogs by taking them on short 3-mile jogs around parks and neighborhoods. I have experience working with a variety of breeds and temperaments, from adults to puppies, including both anxious, reactive, confident, and laid-back animals. Cat Experience: I also grew up with a stray American shorthair cat who adopted our family when I was in kindergarten. When I would play in my neighborhood, the cat took notice of me, and our bond grew from there. We developed our own sign language, where I would hold out my hand to her, and she would come up to me and lick it, then follow me everywhere. Slowly, she started hanging around our house until my dad finally invited her inside. My mom walked into the living room one afternoon and caught my dad sitting on the couch with the cat purring on his lap. It was then that we all realized that this cat had made its way into our hearts and become a permanent member of our family. I think I'm more of a cat person than a dog person, just because cats always seem to be drawn to me. However, I have a big heart for all types of animals, reptiles, and insects. Other pet experience: In college I adopted a turtle from our neighbor because the owner could no longer care for it. I would take the turtle with me a few times to the park on the weekends, where it could graze on fresh green grass and bask in the sunshine. I also had a few betta fish at the time, and taught them how to leap into the air for a few seconds (with the promise of food, of course). Insect Experience: I love butterflies!! I have always loved butterflies -- my first word was "butterfly". When I was in first grade I was wandering around our neighborhood, waiting for my friend to get home so we could play together. I cam across a Monarch butterfly caught in a spiderweb that was plasterd against the outside windowsill of my neighbor's house. After staring at it for a little while, I noticed the butterfly's wings start to move. I reached my hand into the spiderweb and set the butterfly free. The butterfly crawled onto my hand and it was then that I realized the wings were damaged. My friend came out of her house soon after, and we created a little home for the butterfly to receive plant nectar and water (in a lid). Then my parents arranged to visit my great-grandmother in a nursing home, so I took the butterfly to show her. We traveled by airplane to Ohio. My mom said that my great-grandmother had lived in Pacific Grove, CA, before she was sent to Ohio, and would watch the Monarch butterfly migration take place in her backyard. When my great-grandmother saw the Monarch butterfly I had brought her, she lit up! She still remembered the butterflies from her hometown and was very grateful to see the butterfly alive and well through its journey to Cleveland, OH. Throughout my life I've had multiple experiences with various types of butterflies landing on me while hiking or lounging by the pool with my family. It's always a magical and awe-inspiring experience.

“Kruti is very friendly and accommodating. She was nice to spend her time with my my fur friend during the meet and greet. We are lucky to have found her and will continue for future visits/walks ?”
“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.”
“Trina was extremely good at spotting off-leash dogs on our walk, which was particularly helpful for a reactive dog like our GSD/Husky/Chow Chow mix. She was attentive and got along super well with our dog, and we will definitely be hiring her again.”

“Nina and Tony are amazing! They were so good with our sweet Pebbles while we went away for over a week. We can tell Pebbles had a blast, they took care of her like she was their own. They are also just very nice people, great updates and easy going. Pebbles made a couple of new best friends and she will absolutely be going back some time!”
“I am lucky to have Lily taking care of my dog, Apollo for 24 days during my vacation. Lily gave me daily picture update of Apollo. My family was happy to see him even though we were thousand miles away. Lily also played balls with Apollo and playing ball is Apollo's favorite toy. I highly recommend Lily taking care of your dog.”
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.
“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. :)”
“I’m very happy with the service I received! My dog stayed with Siqin and her husband for a couple of days, and it was a great experience. Siqin was very kind and responsive—she kept me updated regularly with photos and videos, which gave me peace of mind. My dog clearly enjoyed her time with them and was well taken care of. I would definitely recommend Siqin to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“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.”
“Guava really enjoyed her stay with Judy and we even got some tips on training her. I have already booked another stay with Judy. We got plenty of pics and videos during the stay and I am very happy with how the reservation turned out.”
“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!”
“We had a great experience with Pratima.. She is reliable & attentive. From the start, communication was smooth and reassuring— Pratima kept us updated with messages and photos, which really put our mind at ease while we were away. Both my dogs were happy, well-cared for, and comfortable. It’s clear Pratima took the time to understand our dogs routine and needs. We definitely recommend Pratima to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter, and we’ll be happy to book with them again in the future.”
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 😃
“Jax enjoyed his stay at Paw Vivant! I was super nervous to find a new sitter since I just moved to the area but Elise really made it easy while I was away with lots of pictures and updates. Super detailed oriented to Jax’s specific care needs. Jax will be back soon :)”
“Caddie was fantastic with my dog, Bruce! She was incredibly nice and attentive, making sure Bruce was well taken care of throughout his stay. It was clear she genuinely cared about his comfort and happiness. I appreciated her regular updates and her warm, friendly demeanor. Bruce came back happy and relaxed, which says it all. I highly recommend Caddie to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“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.”
“We had a great experience boarding our dog with Hong(Vicky). She was wonderful during the meet and greet, made the handoff easy, and kept us updated with frequent photos and videos, which really put us at ease. Knowing Ramsey is a picky eater, she went the extra mile to make sure he was hand fed and comfortable. She was punctual, attentive, and ensured he got plenty of walks and friendly interaction. We’d happily book with her again and highly recommend her.”
“Phina is phenomenal! I had to board my two, very different, dogs for the first time ever and could not be more pleased with Phina's care. My smaller dog is a "pandemic puppy" and never away from us before. My older dog is a rescued street dog that is anxious and nervous around people. When I read that Phina is "very familiar with skittish rescue dogs that need special attention," I knew I wanted to my dogs to meet her. When we were away, Phina sent pictures and updates every day. She also responded to my texts and was very accommodating with timing of drop-off/pick-up. My shy street dog clearly bonded with her, which is a credit to Phina's skills with anxious rescues. Both dogs loved her large safe yard and I felt very comfortable knowing they were well-taken care of. I will definitely board with Phina again! Highly recommended!!”
“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.”
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.
“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.”
