“Selena was amazing with Mathilde! Mathilde almost always has anxiety and can't eat much during her first couple of boarding days but with Selena she ate every day and was calm and had fun.”
“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!”

“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! ❤️🐾”
“Ashita was great with our 3.5 month old puppy! Was very accommodating with a meet and greet with her pups bc we were nervous how our pup would interact with other dogs at first. Ashita was very communicative throughout the weekend. Chloe came back home content and tired after a weekend of play. Highly recommend.”
“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.”
“Selena took the time to know my dog before our appointment. She was also accommodating to our plan changes and our specific needs. My dog looked happy under her care and had a great time!”
“Xiuhui is an amazing dog sitter and made our first boarding experience so smooth and stress-free. My dog was very nervous at the beginning, but Xiuhui was incredibly patient, experienced, and caring, and helped him adjust to the new environment very quickly. She sent me daily updates and treated my baby like her own dog, which gave me so much peace of mind. Communication was always fast and thoughtful, and I truly felt my dog was in the best hands. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“We had such a fantastic experience with Juanyi and truly couldn’t have asked for better care for our dog! From the very beginning, communication was enthusiastic, warm, and reassuring. We had a first meet & play before the dog boarding. Juanyi’ house is very beautiful, clean and suitable for dogs. During boarding, we received photo updates every single hour, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Each picture showed our dog happy, relaxed, and clearly enjoying their time—whether playing with Panda and Kaka (Juanyi’s two LOVELY dogs), resting, or out on a walk. What truly stood out was her flexibility and responsiveness. At one point, we needed to adjust our pick-up time to one day earlier than originally planned. We reached out, expecting it might be difficult to change on short notice—but she responded very quickly and immediately adjusted her schedule to accommodate us. Her willingness to be so understanding and flexible completely really touched me!! Drop-off and pick-up overall were smooth and easy. Juanyi made the entire process seamless and convenient for us, which we deeply appreciated. It genuinely felt like she cared for our dog as if they were her own. Bagel and Panda become best friends!! We came home to a happy, relaxed pup, which says everything. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to any dog parents looking for a reliable, communicative, flexible, and truly caring sitter!”
“Michelle was great with Penny. She kept me posted throughout the weekend with several photos and updates with how Penny was doing. Penny was happy and healthy when we picked her up. Thanks Michelle and family for taking great care of my baby!”
“Thank you Stephania. The service and care for my dog was very professional and attentive to his special needs. Thank you also for being flexible with itinerary drop-off and pick-up times. The photos of my dog while away warmed my heart. Thank you for your care and compassion. - M.”
“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!”

“Tiana took such great care of my 2 kittens! I would definitely rebook. She is very communicative, responsive, and sent me many pictures, videos, and updates throughout their stay with her. I felt confident and comfortable knowing that my kitties were in a safe and happy place! Thank you Tiana!”
About: I may be new to professional pet sitting, but I have experience caring for my own dog and understand the importance of providing a safe, loving, and structured environment. I know that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’m committed to following each owner’s instructions carefully. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or simply giving your pet companionship, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, happy, and confident while you’re away. As a dedicated pet lover, I structure my daily routine around ensuring the dogs in my care receive consistent attention, regular potty breaks, and plenty of mental stimulation. Because my schedule is highly flexible, I can easily adapt to your pup's regular feeding, walking, and nap schedules without disruption. With 8 years of personal experience raising my own dogs—including a Havanese for 6 years and a dachshund, schnauzer mix for 8 years—I am deeply familiar with managing daily feeding routines and bathroom schedules. I provide a safe, reliable environment by sticking strictly to your instructions, keeping a watchful eye on your pet, and maintaining a predictable, stress-free routine while you are away.
“We have Lauren taking care of our cats while we are on vacation. She is checking in on them every other day, filling up the food bowl, changing water, giving treats and some love and makes sure the cats are ok! Lauren provides us with pictures and little notes about the visits. So we can relax and know that they are well taken care of! I can definitely recommend Lauren for your pet sitting needs!”
“Frank took excellent care of the cats. Shared detailed updates and photos after every visit and was quick to respond to any queries. He also took the initiative to reach out with questions to ensure that they got the best possible care. Thanks to him I was able to enjoy my vacation without worrying about the cats.”
“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.”
“Raheela took such great care of our cat! We got daily updates that helped put us at ease for our first boarding experience. I highly recommend Raheela and will definitely have her cat sit again.”
“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!”
“Adrianna has been our go-to cat sitter throughout the year. She’s reliable and responsive. You can always count on her to provide the detailed info about your fur baby. She’s the reason that we’ve been having quality vacations and have a peace of mind when we travel.”
“Zhengjun took excellent care of our cats! Our feline babies were well fed and played with, and we got a lot of pictures and videos from Zhengjun. We would love to have Zhengjun take care of our cats again!”
“Kayla was wonderful with my cat, Ezra! My friend was pet sitting him initially and had to drop him off at Kayla’s place—she handled the handoff seamlessly and made the whole transition super easy. Ezra looked totally relaxed and content in all the updates and photos she sent, which really put my mind at ease. She made him feel right at home.”
About: My parents own a small Siberian breeding company (shout out to Aya Ranch Siberians!) so I’ve taken care of cats of all ages. I also owned my own cat (see memorials) who had four extra years after being diagnosed with kidney disease due to my care. She was regularly given medication in foods as well as IV fluids so I have experience there as well.
About: Hi! I’ve always been an animal lover and very understanding of animal behavior. Growing up we always had dogs and now as an adult I’m a full on cat lady with two of my own. So you can say I know how to adjust to both whether it’s a crazy puppy or a fiesty cat, I’ve never had an issue. I love my pets like they’re my kids and I hope I can show your animals the same love! I currently have my availability pretty much completely open right now. Other than taking care of my own pets, I can be available to take care of others whenever! I will work with whatever set up and routine you already have for your pet to make sure they are cared for in the best way possible.
About: Hi! I’m an experienced and gentle pet sitter with a special love for cats. I understand feline behavior, boundaries, and routines, and I’m comfortable caring for shy or independent cats as well as playful ones. I focus on keeping pets calm, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away.
“Ken took very good care of our cat while we were out on vacation. He dropped in regularly, followed care instructions and took care of our cat's basic necessities - food, water, litter, play etc. Kitty got super friendly with him in no time. Ken's awesome and I'd reach out to him again.”

“After adopting our little Shit Tzu from the shelter 3 1/2 months ago, this is the first time we've had her with anyone else. This was an all-day booking and we were very pleased with the good care Yuhong took of our little dog. The first great thing is that Minnie likes her and they got along very well. She seemed comfortable at her home which gave us peace of mind, knowing she was happy and in attentive and kind hands. We highly recommend Yuhong for sitting your dog. She is versatile for cats as well, but we also appreciate that she only sits one pet at a time. We feel that gives your furry family member excellent one-on-one attention. Yuhong was receptive to our suggestions for helping to make this a positive first-time experience. She implemented our requests, was patient and kind. What more can one ask for?”
“Ashita was wonderful for our 5 month old doodle, Kulfi! Extremely loving, caring and doting attention to our puppy. He felt immediately at home with her. She constantly sent us updates and pics, and asked us specifics on his feeding and other schedules. Kulfi seemed very happy when we picked him up, and when he jumped on us with happiness, he jumped on her too, which showed that he had a great time with her. She also has a lovely open yard, which our doodle loved. Thank you, Ashita!”
About: Hi! I grew up with a sweet Golden Retriever, and while I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I’ve been lucky to host and care for many different breeds and personalities over the years. From playful puppies to gentle giants, I truly enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique quirks and making them feel right at home. Because I’m not currently working, I can dedicate plenty of time, attention, and love to your furry friend. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I make sure every pup gets the care they deserve. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet in good hands, so I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own — with patience, safety, and affection every step of the way. Looking forward to welcoming your four-legged family member! 🐶❤️ I’m currently not working, so I have plenty of time to give your pet my full attention. I can provide regular walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day, ensuring they’re well cared for and never lonely. Weekdays and weekends works. We have an independent house and a small patio that is walled. We also have a gated dog park in our community that is private to only residents. We have ring cameras outside the house and also doggy cam inside the house to always a watch on the pet we host and take care.
About: Hello! Cecilia and I have experience in taking care of medium to large breeds from 1 to 12 years old, such as Akitas, German Shepherds, Border Collies, Pomsky and more. We are active, and can take dogs on trails or parks. My home has an enclosed backyard for dogs to play and explore. We love and care for dogs! I take care of dogs on days off work, and Cecilia is usually at home, so your dog will always have plenty of company and attention. Expectation for Boarding and Daycare: 🏡**Enclosed Backyard** Safe space for your dog to explore, play, and enjoy fresh air. . 🫧**Clean home environment** Floor cleaning is kept daily. We also wipe paws and fur after walks when needed. Clean water is refreshed regularly, including at mealtimes and after walks. . 📸**Photos & Updates** Regular photos and updates are shared so you can see how your dog is doing during their stay. Please feel free to enjoy the updates without worrying about replying to each one. If you have any questions or would like an update, you are always welcome!
About: I'm Toby's dog dad—a Golden Retriever trained to near-service-dog standards. That taught me how to read a dog's body language, earn trust fast, and lead with calm, steady energy. Confident or shy, your pup gets the same patient care I give Toby every day. 💛 Your weekend getaway is your pup's getaway too. 🐾 Weekends are all I do—so your dog gets my full attention, not leftover time squeezed around a workday. 🦴 Friday: late afternoon onward 🦴 Saturday & Sunday: all day into the evening Perfect for a weekend trip or a single overnight. Reach out and let's see if our dates line up! The main attraction: a private, fully-fenced backyard with a grassy lawn to run on, shade trees for cool rest, and a dog cot for lounging. 🌳 It's Toby's favorite place, and your pup is welcome to make it theirs. Inside, my home is tidy and hazard-free. I supervise closely, follow your dog's routine, and send photo updates throughout the stay. I just ask that guests be current on flea/tick prevention and core vaccines (Rabies, DHPP, Bordetella).
“Jeeva had a great time in Tuan’s place. Tuan let us visit his backyard and made sure we are okay with Jeeva playing with his dog and another pup. He took Jeeva out on walks and to park and sent us pics and videos through the day. We felt happy and safe leaving our pup with him and will def come back another day.”
About: I’ve never known a life without pets present. I grew up side-by-side with my parents’ first “baby”—a golden retriever puppy born just a few months before me—and my love for animals only grew from there. As a teen, I volunteered at local rescues, fostered animals throughout undergrad, adopted a sweet senior dog of my own, and later welcomed home my first cat: a scrappy little shelter kitten labeled “on clearance.” (Yes, really.) I’ve cared for pets of all ages, personalities, and energy levels—from zoomies-on-command puppies to nap-loving seniors. I know every animal has their own quirks, and I tailor my care to match what makes your pet feel happiest, safest, and most at ease. As a lifelong pet parent myself, I know how nerve-wracking it can be to find someone you trust. That’s why I go out of my way to make the experience feel seamless and stress-free—for both you and your pet. I’ll never treat your booking like a quick task; I genuinely love spending time with animals and want them to feel just as comfortable with me as they do with you. Expect plenty of updates, photos, and thoughtful notes after each visit. Whether your dog needs a patient buddy, a walking partner, or just someone to sit and keep them company—I’ll be there with warmth, reliability, and care you can count on. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine—I work remotely/part time with a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets the attention, exercise, and snuggles they need throughout the day. Whether it's morning walks, midday potty breaks, or evening playtime, I’m able to build my day around your pet’s needs to keep them happy and relaxed while you're away for the weekend or at the office. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or yours, their comfort and safety are always my top priority. I take time to fully get to know you and your pet’s preferences, routines, and personalities to ensure I can make their care feel as secure and stress-free as possible. I am thorough with going over and confirming all care instructions your pets need, and prioritize safety and comfort above all else. I always double-check doors (locks, keys, codes, alarms, gates), food and water levels, all care instructions for both animals and home, preferred levels of communication & updates, etc—because trust is built in the little details. I will fully accommodate any special instructions and communication preferences requested by you, as I know how nerve wracking it can be to find a care provider you trust to care not just for your furry family member, but with your residence as well! Please rest comfortably knowing it is my utmost priority to ensure your loved one is in competent, caring, trustworthy hands. _______ As a random bonus — for my Chinese clients, I am 100% fluent in Mandarin (國語/普通話). However, I am an ABC, so I would prefer English especially for written communication, but otherwise, I hope my bilingual skills make the process of finding a sitter you trust and are comfortable with even easier.
About: I’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.
“Steve and his partner (fiancée!) are wonderful pet-sitters, super friendly to work with, and highly communicative. They happily accommodated a last-minute stay for Brady as a new client, which was so appreciated. When I picked up Brady, she was happy, not stressed, and clean :) We will definitely be back—thanks so much!”
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats of all sizes since I was 9. My family and friends always entrust me with their furry family member knowing I will provide the best care in need for them. I take pets on walks, feed and bathe them and have handled with aggressive and hard to deal with dogs. I offer my services throughout the Bay Area, from San Francisco to Milpitas. I'm currently working part time and would love to care and spend time with your furry friends because I love animals and it's what makes me happy. I am free for boarding weekdays and weekends. Drop ins and walks are also mainly weekdays and some weekends. I live in a 2 story house with access to a backyard and 2 private dog friendly parks in a gated community. Your pet would sleep in my room with me next to my bed and have room to roam around upstairs and downstairs.
“Ghazal was very caring with my dog, she took great care of her and we couldn’t be happier. She was very puntual and responded quickly all the time. I would totally recommend her.”
“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 had an absolutely amazing experience with Gunyung! She took care of my dog, Cookie, for 3 days (Monday to Wednesday) while I was on a business trip. Cookie loved going to Gunyung's house so much that he would literally bring me his harness in the morning! Every evening when he came back, he was happily exhausted from playing so much. Gunyung was also very communicative, replying to my messages quickly and sending plenty of great photos throughout the day. I felt completely at ease leaving Cookie with her. I will definitely book with Gunyung again next time I need help!”
About: Hi, I’m a lifelong pet lover and proud dog parent to an amazing mixed-breed pup! Most recently, I have been fostering pups of all sizes and ages with the Humane Society in my area. I’ve been around animals my whole life and know just how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. When your dog stays with me, they’re treated like part of the family. I offer a safe, calm, and pet-friendly home with people (and a pup!) who truly enjoy the company of animals. Whether it’s a walk around the neighborhood, some playtime, or a cozy overnight stay, I aim to make your pet feel at ease and cared for. I am available full time to work with your schedule. My commitments are brief and I can flex around the needs of the pets in my care. I have a multi story home with lvp flooring that is very pet friendly. Your fur baby will have to climb 8 stairs (or I can assist them) to get to the main floor which is where we will hang out. I also have an enclosed patio, but most of our outdoor time will be outside at the park right next to my home.
“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!”

“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.”
“Paige was very responsive & accommodating with our last minute request, and took great care of our dog Kiara during her walk. She was very gentle with Kiara, & it was evident that Kiara loved her walk. Will definitely be booking Paige again!”
“Alani is hands down one of the nicest people I have met in a while, and my two dogs fell completely in love with her! I broke my leg while my husband was out of town and was unable to walk my dogs and she literally came to my rescue. She is punctual, communicative, trustworthy, and really went the extra mile to help me. Thanks Alani! -Max, Butters, & Lana.”
“Tiffany is great. She is punctual and dependable. Our dog Penny loves going on walks with here. Definitely recommend her for anyone needing a sweet person to walk their pet.”
“Zhengjun is amazing! She’s very reliable and great with communication, always sending lots of photos and updates. My dog absolutely loves her. I’m so grateful for her extra care on rainy days, making sure my dog is clean and dry before heading back into his crate. Highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a thoughtful and caring walker!”
About: Kiki brings me so much companionship and warmth. Every time I come home from work, the way it wags its tail and runs over is really healing. Keeping a dog can change the pace of your life, but at the same time, it also adds a lot of joy to it. Teddy is a curly haired dog, and not shedding hair is an advantage, but it also means that he needs to take care of his hair regularly! Natural low salt dog food, occasionally I add some chicken breast, egg yolk or carrots to it. I am very careful not to let him come into contact with the following "blacklist foods": chocolate, grapes, onions, milk, etc., which are harmful to dogs! Throwing and catching the ball: the simplest and most effective way, I always have a great time playing Doudou Hide and Seek: I will hide in my room and wait for it to come looking for me. If it finds me, it will wag its tail fiercely Finding Snacks: Hide small snacks in the crevices of the sofa or under the cushion, let it use its nose to find them, exercise its sense of smell and avoid boredom Perform tasks such as feeding, walking, and scooping feces according to the owner's requirements Avoid making pets feel unfamiliar or anxious, and maintain a daily rhythm of life Do not touch household items at will to ensure customer privacy and safety Daily job responsibilities may include: Change water and feed (dry/wet/homemade food) Cleaning cat litter/dog poop Simple companionship interaction (caressing, toys, cat teaser sticks, etc.)
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, big and small. I’ve had puppies and seniors, I can say I have a real passion for taking care of dogs, be it little guys or big boys they all deserve lots of play time and endless walks. I work hybrid remote but am usually done working at 2, after I make sure my cat is happy I would love to spend some time walking or taking care of some dogs and cats. I always come from a place of mutual respect with animals and people, I’m also someone who comes prepared. I’ll bring snacks for training, cleansers for messes and anything in between.
About: I am Guang, aka Mia. As a teacher and lifelong animal lover, I treat every pet like family. I only take one client at a time to ensure full attention and care. I have a 4-year-old black and white Border Collie girl who is playful, gentle, and very well-trained. She never makes a mess at home and enjoys her daily runs and ball games in the park with her dog friends. I’ve been around animals literally my whole life — growing up, our family always had pets. Over the years, I’ve had three cats and four dogs, each with their own personalities and stories. I’ve also helped friends board their fur babies and done home visits/drop-in visit for cats and received good reputation. Training my Border Collie taught me patience, structure, and how to communicate calmly with all kinds of pets. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a shy kitty, I treat every animal with love, respect, and care, just like family. 🐶🐱💛 I start my day early and finish work early. I’m available for home visits in the mornings and after 3 PM on weekdays. Weekends and holidays work for me as well. I offer home visits, dog walks, and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats. Walks are always one-on-one, and your pet won’t meet mine unless you approve. Home staying for pets are only for weekend and holidays. Caring for pets fits naturally into my routine because it’s what I genuinely love to do every day. Safety and comfort always come first. I have experience with reactive dogs and know how to create safe boundaries. I also follow your pet’s care routine closely and will send pet pictures to you.
About: I’ve been pet sitting for the past two years now, it is so much fun! I have fed and taken care of many animals (mainly dogs and cats), taken dogs on walks, gave a puppy her prescribed medication, and have even stayed overnight to pet sit. I’m currently working part time at a yoga studio as well as nanny for a four year old, so I have a very flexible schedule for pet sitting! I will always keep an eye on your pet(s), to ensure their safety, as well as keeping clear communication between myself and the pet owners.
About: They are just like family to me, love and care is what i can offer a person they can rely to and trust, I drive to make sure they go home safely and happy! Im Im a student and I only work part time so I’m mostly home all the time, which gives me a lot of time with your dog 🥰 I prioritize safety and peace of mind for both dog and owner. When pets are in my care, they enjoy a secure environment with full supervision during outdoor time. I make sure they have enough rest, water and space to rest.
About: Hi, I’m Alex! I’ve done informal pet care for friends and family for about 15 years - if anyone goes out of town, they call me first! Since losing my childhood cat & dog, I’ve struggled to get another pet, but I have so much love to give 💗 I’ve taken care of cats from kitten stage to geriatric palliative care, as well as dogs of all shapes and sizes. Guaranteed to take cute pet photos! I am a full time program manager in the tech industry with very flexible hours. I can adjust my schedule to accommodate walks or drop ins. My service area is wide due to a long commute, so I’m able to cover most clients in the East Bay! I think animals thrive more while remaining in their own environment, so I prefer drop in visits or house sitting over stays in my home. I’ve done up to a 2 week stay with a pet while their owner was abroad. I do have the space for smaller animals within my condo for animals who don’t mind being uprooted!
About: 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.
“Adrianna is awesome!! She was able to walk my 2 year old German Shepard while I was at work. She is very flexible and isn’t afraid of working with big dogs. I really appreciated that. She also sent me pictures and gave me a summary after each walk. Will definitely book again! Thank you again Adrianna, from Mia and I. ?”
About: Since I was young, I have always loved dogs and cats. My Dad always referred to our house as Noah’s Ark because we always had so many animals. I received this love for animals from my mother. She had a gift for raising animals for very long periods of time and loved them like they were her children. She called them her fur babies and I have since followed in her foot steps. I love dogs that play fetch and cats, along with their attitude and personality. We spend time walking, playing with and laying around with our family dogs - we have three! Fury is our Chihuahua who loves to sleep all day and cuddle. Bo, our Rottie mix who enjoys walks and playing with other dogs. And our playful pup Gus, who loves to eat! Our sons also love dogs and enjoy having guest dogs around! We love animals and will treat yours as we do ours, as part of the family. My wife works from home and has time to care for and play with your fur babies! She will feed them, take them for walks and gives your dog(s) free reign of the house and yard. I have a locked and fenced atrium and backyard … and three wonderful dogs to keep them company! When it’s warm, the back slider is left open for the dogs to freely go in and out as they please. There is plenty of room for them to run around out back, front and side. They sleep whenever they’re most comfortable and can hang out on the couch or wherever they chose. As mentioned earlier, they very quickly become a part of our extended family! Since I work from home, I have time to care for, and play with your pets! We can follow the same routine they have at home. We have a fenced atrium and backyard as well as three active dogs to keep your fur babies busy! They have free reign of the home and can play or rest where they’re most comfortable!
About: Hi! I’ve always been an animal lover and very understanding of animal behavior. Growing up we always had dogs and now as an adult I’m a full on cat lady with two of my own. So you can say I know how to adjust to both whether it’s a crazy puppy or a fiesty cat, I’ve never had an issue. I love my pets like they’re my kids and I hope I can show your animals the same love! I currently have my availability pretty much completely open right now. Other than taking care of my own pets, I can be available to take care of others whenever! I will work with whatever set up and routine you already have for your pet to make sure they are cared for in the best way possible.
About: I currently work as a Vet Assistant which means I have plenty of experience handling and caring for cats and dogs. I am familiar with any health issue that may come up with your dog and will promote their well-being. Working in the ER, I know how to deal with many diseases so I can ensure your loved one is well taken care of. I can proficiently administer oral and injectable medications if needed. Aside from my medical background, I enjoy exercise and spending time outdoors and will therefore ensure that your pet is well taken care of physically through runs, walks, hikes- whatever it is that they enjoy. I've been a dog owner since I was a young kid and have always loved spending time with the four legged creatures. I will ensure that your pet is loved as if they were my very own pet. I work 4 days a week, 10 hours but am still available to drop by if needed either in the mornings or evening or in between work if it’s nearby. I’m mostly available at any time Friday-Sunday, I can set time aside to be fully devoted to your pet. I will ensure they’re as comfortable as they have been when the owner is home. Allowing them to have their routine. I will ensure I don’t disturb their usual spots and allow them to roam as they are allowed regularly.
“Lauren was great with walking my dog. They made sure he got water breaks, sent updates and pictures after each walk. They were also available to extend the walk to an hour and for a super last minute booking, so I totally appreciate the flexibility. Thank you Lauren!”

“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.”
“Selena took the time to know my dog before our appointment. She was also accommodating to our plan changes and our specific needs. My dog looked happy under her care and had a great time!”
“Michelle was great with Penny. She kept me posted throughout the weekend with several photos and updates with how Penny was doing. Penny was happy and healthy when we picked her up. Thanks Michelle and family for taking great care of my baby!”
“Thank you Stephania. The service and care for my dog was very professional and attentive to his special needs. Thank you also for being flexible with itinerary drop-off and pick-up times. The photos of my dog while away warmed my heart. Thank you for your care and compassion. - M.”
“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.”
“Shreeja and her husband are awesome. They took great care of Shiro. He felt like home with her. He got cuddled, belly rubs, walks, played fetch and what not. Shiro was picky eater and she was very kind to hand feed him. She shared Shiro's updates in photos and videos every few hours that made me not feel anxious throughout my 8 days trip. Thank you soo much for taking care and loving him. Would definitely leave Shiro with her the next time we are out of town. I recommend Shreeja 1000%”
“Deepthi was a wonderful sitter! Very loving and caring with my doggie! Gave my dog walks in the park and play dates with other friendly doggies. I was given lots of updates while away. Would book again! Thanks!”
“Ghazal is super responsive, gives a lot of attention to my dog, and provides the right care to her. She sent a lot of photos and I can definitely see that my dog is spending a great time with her! I will highly recommend her and rebook again :)”

For cats that prefer quieter environments or separation from dogs, I have a dedicated empty bedroom available to help them feel safe and relaxed. Additional care I can provide includes: • Brushing and de-shedding • Nail trimming • Basic dental cleaning (if tolerated) • Frequent updates with photos/videos I focus on quality care and take a limited number of pets so I can give each one more attention and a calmer experience. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate morning, or evening visits. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends, and I can adjust to your cat’s routine to ensure consistency and comfort. I prioritize reliability and will make sure your cat is cared for on time every visit, whether it’s daily check-ins or extended care.

I pay close attention to their behavior, appetite, and overall well-being, and I will keep you updated with photos and notes after each visit. Your cat’s safety, comfort, and trust are always my top priorities.
“Coralie was awesome. We got regular updates and photos. She was able to deal with our reactive dog without any issues. The dogs had a fantastic time, I’d definitely book Coralie again!”
About: We work from home on alternating days, so there’s always an adult at home caring for our own pup—and yours too! Your furry companion will get plenty of attention, love, and supervision throughout the day. I stick to routines, keep things fun and stress-free, and always share updates so you can feel confident your furry family member is in great hands. Pet care is a regular part of my daily and weekly routine. We work from home on alternating days, so there’s always someone available to give attention, playtime, walks, and supervision. I have a 6 yr old very mellow female lab and, I make sure to stick to each pet’s schedule for meals, potty breaks, and exercise, and I also spend time providing affection and enrichment to keep them happy and comfortable. On weekends or busier days, I adjust my routine to ensure consistent care and attention, so pets always feel safe, loved, and well looked after. We live in a three-story townhome, and your furry friend is welcome to roam freely throughout the house—no crating required. We have a patio where they can sit and sun bask, and we take our pup outside for bathroom breaks in a safe area by the garage, and follow the same routine with visiting pups. We go for 2–3 walks a day, ranging from 25–50 minutes, exploring different routes near the house to keep things fun and engaging. Our home is safe, comfortable, and supervised at all times, so pets can relax, play, and feel at ease while you’re away.
“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”
