“Jie (and her family) took wonderful care of our dog Oolong, walking him every day and sending us plenty of pictures! He was clearly well taken care of and loved and we will definitely be coming back!”
“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 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!!”
“Siqin will always be our go-to sitter. Literally a blessing — I would recommend anyone and everyone to book with her!! Our kitty really loves being with her and her husband. It’s like her second home at this point. Love love love!”
“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”
“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.”
“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 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!”
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.
“We left our 6 months old golden retriever with Elise for two weeks, we were happy with Elise’s care for our baby dog! Elise kept us updated on daily basis with many pictures and videos. It was very nice to see our dog made some good friends. I appreciate Elise’s prompt responses when I had questions or just checked in. Elise really put us at ease when we were on our vacation. She trimmed our dog’s nails during the stay without me asking. Our baby came home happy! We absolutely will use Elise’s care again and recommend her to our friends!”
“Marsha was great with our 2 dogs while we were on vacation for a week. They seemed to have a lot of fun with her and her son. The daily pictures were much appreciated :)”
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.
“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!”
“First time visiting the Fremont area to meet my first grandson. Long drive from San Diego with my 3 dogs. I would highly recommend booking with Phina and her dog Bonnie. We had a meet and greet Saturday PM. It went well. Sunday- dropped off my dogs at 9am and picked them up at 5pm. Phina kept me posted with pictures and updates regularly. Communication is A+ and the safety of my dogs were paramount. For this nervous dog mom with rescue senior dogs I was apprehensive but Phina calmed my fears and made me focus on visiting my grandson and also meeting with friends. Thanks Phina and Bonnie- we will be visiting Fremont regularly and we will book again. Thank you!! 5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“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've always been an animal lover however, when I got my own dog 10 years ago I experienced the feeling of unconditional love. I have a soft spot for special needs pets. I treat all fur babies in my care as if they are my own. It is my dream some day to help rescue and foster dogs of all sizes and breeds. I live in an apartment so I am limited on space but I am able to have a pet stay with me. I can do drop in visits, dog walking and or stay in your home with your fur kids while you are away. Thank you for reading and I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies. I have my own 40 pound dog who is now 2 years old. So we keep a general routine around taking walks and potty breaks, exercise and play and nap times. I live in an apartment with a patio. I have a medium sized dog and he does just fine. I take him out often fo bathroom and exercise and fun. If I am in your home I follow your instructions and keep to you pets routine.
“Awesome experience with Melody! She sent daily updates with pictures, and was very welcoming and sweet with Mochi. Highly recommended, and will definitely book again! Mochi was sad to leave. He was spoiled there.”
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 😃

“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!”
“If you’re looking for a sitter, stop right here — Katelyn is the one. I have three cats and this was my first time leaving them for more than just a quick trip, so I was super nervous. I honestly didn’t know if I could trust anyone with them. But Katelyn completely changed that for me. Communication She was amazing from the start. Before the visits she asked all the right questions, learned about my cats, their habits, and how my home is set up. While I was away (in a totally different time zone), she always told me when she was on the way, and after each visit she sent detailed updates with lots of clear photos. Those pictures weren’t just proof, they really showed how much attention she gave. Every message felt thoughtful and personal, and it gave me so much peace of mind. Care Katelyn did everything: cleaned litter boxes, washed bowls, refreshed food and water, kept the space tidy, and made sure the cats had playtime and treats. What blew me away was how quickly my cats warmed up to her. They’re usually very shy, but they went to her almost right away. Seeing my cats actually playing with someone new — that was a first, and it meant so much to me. Other Honestly, Katelyn gave me more than I expected. If you’re hoping for good care, she’ll give you great care. If you’re expecting fine, she’ll give you fantastic care. Her passion and responsibility really shine through, and it’s clear she treats your pets as if they were her own. I came back to happy, relaxed cats and a clean home, and I can’t thank her enough. If you want someone who truly cares, who communicates, and who you can trust with your pets — book Katelyn. You won’t regret it.”
“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.”
“Tatyanan was incredible kind and supportive throughout the whole process. I had never used Rover, let alone a pet sitter. Before even booking with her she came to meet my cats and I and walk me through the process. While I was out of state for my fiance's surgery, she went above and beyond to make sure that my cats were taken care of, regularly sending pictures, and that the place stayed clean from pet messes. I greatly appreciate Tatyana and would absolutely book her again! Thank you Tatyana!!”
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. I typically like to schedule a brief Meet & Greet before confirming a new booking so we can ensure a good fit and review your pet’s routine and needs. 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.
About: I have trained and cared for my own dogs, both small and large breeds, all of my life. As a volunteer at animal shelters here in the Bay Area and in Austin, I have learned to manage and adapt to varied—and sometimes difficult—dog personalities, temperaments, and needs. I am also very comfortable with large animals, having owned and trained my own horses for decades. As a retired journalist and journalism professor, I bring trustworthiness, reliability, and excellent communication to animal care. I can provide walks, engaging playtime, comfort for anxious animals, and administration of simple medications. Please note: While I am an expert animal caretaker, I am new to the Rover platform. I am currently offering introductory rates for a limited time while I build my local profile.I I work from home as a writer/reasercher on my own flexible schedule. i can accommodate your and your pets' schedules on weekdays as well as weekends. I provide walks as needed, playtime, comforting if he or she is anxious, simple medicstions and wound-dressing, and and of course feeding and watering on their schedule.
“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!”
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 am currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available for boarding on weekends, and weekdays after 3pm. I have no pets and small children in my house. I have a fenced yard for your dog to play in. I can also walk your dog around my nice neighborhood as needed.
“I was very happy with the drop in visits Jing did while I was away for a week. My cat looked very content and comfortable! I really appreciated Jing’s attention to details and all of the photo updates.”
“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.”
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.
“I felt that my cats were in good hands with Kruti last week while I was out of town. I appreciated the pictures she sent each day and the love that she obviously has for animals.”
“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.”
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.
“Jill was wonderful. She was so patient with my shy cats and made sure they ate! She also cleaned up after them when they were messy. I really appreciated all the great photos. This was the first time my cats and I had a non family member take care of the cats, and Jill took care of my anxiety as well as my cats’ needs.”
“I absolutely recommend Joyce to anyone looking for a caring and diligent sitter for their beloved pets. She was so good with our two kittens and even our shy, reserved girl who's not great with strangers really took to her. She went above and beyond making sure our babies got all affection and attention they could want with plenty of treats and play. She also sent us tons of photos and videos and detailed notes on her visits, making us feel at ease while we were out of town. I will definitely be reaching out again the next time we need a cat sitter.”

“Our FMD Noodle had a great time with Phina! She came home tired from plenty of exercise in the backyard. Noodle tends to be scared in new environments (especially places with hardwood floors), but she seemed relatively at ease at Phina's place - Phina really knows how to connect with dogs! Her big heart and immense patience make her a great dog-sitter, especially for fearful dogs.”
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 understand each pet’s routines, quirks, and preferences so I can make them feel as secure and stress-free as possible. If I'm sitting in your home, I’m respectful of your space and routines, maintaining a familiar environment for your pet. I always double-check gates, leashes, and feeding instructions—because trust is built in the little details. I tend to over-communicate, especially if your pet and I are only just starting to get to know each other, as I know how nerve wracking it can be to trust a stranger with not only your family member, but your residence as well! I’m respectful, and follow all care instructions to the T, and will check in as frequently as you’d like me to, so that you know your loved one is in good, 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.
“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”

“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
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 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. Inside, your dog will have a calm and cozy environment with plenty of space to rest and play. I make sure doors and windows are secured at all times, and I follow your safety instructions carefully. Your pet will be watched closely, never left unattended, and treated with all the love and attention they deserve.
“I left my 10 month old pup with Elise on a Saturday so I could go to San Francisco to see a show. Elise was wonderful about being flexible with the time as I wasn't sure when I'd be back. And when I picked up my pup, he clearly had an awesome time. He had such a big smile on his face like he wanted to tell me all about it! And as I started walking with him to the car, he turned and looked at Elise as if he may want to stay with her. :-) This was wonderful for me because he is very attached to me and I wasn't sure how he'd do when I left him in an unfamiliar situation. I'm so happy that I found Elise on Rover. My experience with her was fantastic and I highly recommend her!”
“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?”
“My dog is super picky with sitter but he fell in love with Jie right away! He and Jie’s doggie also gets along very well. I am very glad to find Jie as she is a wonderful and responsible sitter who follows all the instructions I have provided to her for Mocha. I picked up a calm and happy dog at the end of the day!”
“Shruti, her husband Gaurav and their dog Toto is an amazing family! I was extremely pleased with how they took care of my dog, Loochie. They gave her quality time, played with her and gave her an extremely comfortable environment to snuggle for hours! Loochie would love to be back with them again!”

“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 have trained and cared for my own dogs, both small and large breeds, all of my life.

I am also very comfortable with large animals, having owned and trained my own horses for decades. As a retired journalist and journalism professor, I bring trustworthiness, reliability, and excellent communication to animal care. I can provide walks, engaging playtime, comfort for anxious animals, and administration of simple medications. Please note: While I am an expert animal caretaker, I am new to the Rover platform.

About: Hi fur family! I’m a lifelong animal lover who has had the joy of loving dogs from all sizes: from chihuahuas to beagles to labs. I know how important your fur baby is, and since I work with children during the week, I'm full of patience and know how to handle all kinds of personalities with a calm and caring touch. I also love sending photo updates, so you’ll never be far from the fun. I can’t wait to meet you and treat your pup like my own! I’m currently in college and work with children during the weekdays, but I’ve kept my weekends open so that you can have a fun time out knowing your pup is in good hands! I am patient and calm all while maintaining my pup’s routines, such as regular feeding times and exercise. I am also an early bird so I would have no problem taking your pup out for their first walk of the day!
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.

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.

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!

“We left our 6 months old golden retriever with Elise for two weeks, we were happy with Elise’s care for our baby dog! Elise kept us updated on daily basis with many pictures and videos. It was very nice to see our dog made some good friends. I appreciate Elise’s prompt responses when I had questions or just checked in. Elise really put us at ease when we were on our vacation. She trimmed our dog’s nails during the stay without me asking. Our baby came home happy! We absolutely will use Elise’s care again and recommend her to our friends!”

Also a bonus she has a nice grassy yard for my dogs to freely roam in!”
“First time visiting the Fremont area to meet my first grandson. Long drive from San Diego with my 3 dogs. I would highly recommend booking with Phina and her dog Bonnie. We had a meet and greet Saturday PM. It went well. Sunday- dropped off my dogs at 9am and picked them up at 5pm. Phina kept me posted with pictures and updates regularly. Communication is A+ and the safety of my dogs were paramount. For this nervous dog mom with rescue senior dogs I was apprehensive but Phina calmed my fears and made me focus on visiting my grandson and also meeting with friends. Thanks Phina and Bonnie- we will be visiting Fremont regularly and we will book again. Thank you!! 5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
