“Rachael and her partner were nothing short of amazing with our dog Indy. Indy was instantly relaxed when he arrived for the night at Rachael’s, and had a lovely evening of cuddles and play with Rachael and her “crew”. Her dog and kitty were equally as welcoming to Indy! The picture updates were amazing and unexpected, and I could tell Indy was incredibly comfortable for his overnight stay. 10/10 recommend Rachael, and we will absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Katie and Jason are super star dog sitters! My senior dog, Abby, was very comfortable with them. I loved getting all the updates. Katie was really responsive on text and kept to Abby’s schedule and routines. I am so thankful we found them!”
“Michael was fantastic! This was the first time I had left Bojangles for more than an overnight and I had no cause to worry. His communication was constant, and when I picked up Bojangles, it was obvious he had been well cared for. Will definitely be using Michael again.”
“Deborah did a fantastic job taking care of my minipin for the week we were gone. My dog Cheech was catered to the whole week we were gone. If you ever need a dog sitter she is a top choice!!”
“My dog loves Anne because she’s so caring and loving to him and made him feel so comfortable just like in his own home. I would highly recommend Anne and will definitely leave my dog with her again.”
“Mario was AWESOME! We left our senior rescue with him for 10 days and now we feel like our dog has a home away from home. He regularly walks the dogs near a beautiful duck pond in his back yard. His communication is perfect — and we really appreciated that he sent regular updates / photos. Highly recommend—- we will certainly have him care for our pup again in the future!!!”
“Our dog was really happy during his stay and Edward seemed equally happy to spend time caring for him. Edward was very flexible, easy to communicate with, and provided many photos of their adventures.”
“Ellen was great. She took such great care of Brinkley. We were nervous to leave him as he was not in the best of health and it was the first time leaving him with Ellen. But she sent us updates and photos so we were relieved to know he was in good hands. And he was happy and well taken care of when we returned a week later. Would definitely recommend Ellen.”
“I can not recommend James and his partner as pet sitters enough. They were responsive, professional, and accommodating. From the moment we booked, to the pick up; I felt genuinely safe and confident leaving my fur baby with James. My lil pup warmed up to them instantly and I knew she was in great hands. James sent a photo each day and when I picked up my dog she seemed happy and well cared for. Thank you for much James and Jas! I am so grateful and hope to re-book soon.”
“Renee and Christopher were fantastic sitters!! Lenny had access to a backyard and so much attention. I got regular updates and photos and felt so much peace of mind.”
“My dog stayed with Kitty for 10 days, and I am ecstatic! Kitty and her family provide a warm, caring, and loving home for dogs. I will definitely be scheduling time with them again!”
“Lida was a fantastic caregiver for my one-year-old. She took exceptional care of her, making sure she got plenty of walks, playtime, attention, and affection. She kept me updated every day with photos and messages, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I never once worried about my dog in her care, and I would absolutely use her services again if I’m ever back in the area. I can’t recommend her highly enough.”
“Had a great experience with yu-Liang and yi-ting dog sitting our pet Bella. They were very responsive and sent lots of photos. Would definitely have them dog sit again in the future. Recommend!”
“This was my second time booking with Bennett. The best review that I can give is not from me. It's from my girl. When I pulled up to drop her off - she recognized where she was and was happy about it. It's hard to leave her, but her reaction made it easier.”
“Irina was a fantastic dog sitter for our Sophie! She clearly loved her, and we could tell Sophie was happy and well cared for the whole time. Irina sent lots of updates, which gave us great peace of mind. We’d happily book her again and highly recommend her!”
“My dog had a wonderful stay at Annie’s! My dog got plenty of exercise and came home a happy boy. Annie communicates so well and she takes really great photos. Would come back again!”
About: What sets me apart is the combination of hands-on experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments, along with the level of care and attention I genuinely put into every dog I look after. I’ve worked closely with a young puppy, attending training sessions and learning how to reinforce positive behaviors and create an environment where a dog can thrive. I’m comfortable continuing training routines, maintaining structure, and helping puppies build good habits. On the other end of the spectrum, I also have experience caring for senior dogs who require extra patience and support—whether that’s assisting with mobility, following specific diets, or adapting to hearing and vision loss. I regularly dog sit for friends with very different needs, from high-energy dogs who need multiple long walks a day to older dogs who require a slower pace and more hands-on care. I’ve also cared for multiple dogs at once, making sure each one gets the individual attention they need. I pride myself on being adaptable and attentive, tailoring my care to each dog’s personality, routine, and comfort level. Beyond experience, what truly sets me apart is how deeply I care. I treat every dog like family, not just a job. I’ve even gone out of my way on multiple occasions to help neighbors find their lost dogs and have successfully helped reunite them with their owners several times. I believe it’s our responsibility to create a safe, loving, and positive environment where dogs feel relaxed, happy, and encouraged—and that’s exactly the kind of care I provide every time. I work full-time with a flexible hybrid schedule, which allows me to plan ahead one or two weeks in advance for working on site or at home. On days I go into the office, I can take pups on walks in the early morning or evening. I’m fully available for boarding on weekends, and depending on my work schedule, I can also offer overnight boarding during the week. I do my best to be flexible and accommodate each dog’s routine—whether that means early morning walks, regular potty breaks, or sticking closely to their usual schedule. If your pup is used to a 7am walk, I’m more than happy to start the day early to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I prioritize creating a safe, clean, and comfortable environment that helps every dog feel at ease, whether they’re in my home or their own. In my home, I have a private, fenced backyard that’s only accessible through my apartment, so your dog can safely enjoy fresh air. It’s partially covered as well, providing some protection from rain. Inside, I keep my space clean and dog-friendly, with cushioned area rugs to prevent slipping and give dogs a comfortable place to walk, play, or relax. I also provide cozy blankets and an outdoor dog bed so they have options for resting wherever they feel most comfortable. Cleanliness and routine are very important to me—I wash food bowls after each use and refresh water bowls daily. Dogs are welcome on my furniture, but I always respect and follow your home rules to maintain consistency. If your dog isn’t allowed on furniture, I will reinforce those same boundaries. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m very respectful of their space and attentive to instructions. I carefully follow all provided routines, house rules, and notes to ensure your dog experiences as much consistency and comfort as possible while you’re away.
About: Hi! Thanks for stopping by. Allow me to introduce myself: I'm a (mostly) retired nurse & former farmer, offering a homey stay for your dog. I'm experienced with livestock, birds, all sorts of creatures. Your dog will enjoy the ideal location of my comfy home--its sunny decks, and fenced yard-- nearby to beaches, off-leash Quarry Park, and the recreation and coastal paths. You can enjoy your time away, knowing your pooch is having a great time at my place. I'm at home days & evenings, close by to the critters. Semi retired now, I'm able to dedicate myself to a pet-centric life, to the benefit of all. My home is set up for comfort--making the most of this idyllic coastal environment. Low windows at the front allow the dogs to observe those passing on the street. Two sunny decks connect to my fenced yard, providing a secure, relaxed environment. I am steps from the rec & coastal paths, dog-friendly Quarry Park, the harbor & coastal beaches. Enjoy peace of mind during your time away! Your dog will be a valued guest in my pooch-centric home.
“Nina and Leo were so great with my Quincy. Quincy is a rescue from Korean meat farm and has some issues such as separation anxiety and leash aggression. Nina and Leo were very understanding, seemed extremely experienced, and took great care of Quincy - they even bought him a stuffed toy that he loves and plays with everyday! They provided me with daily updates and photos while I was out of the country for 12 days. I will definitely use them again.”

“This was our first pet-sitting experience with Esmeralda, and she handled it beautifully. Because she was new to the house and our 3 cats, we had her stay full-time during our 6 day holiday. She took excellent care of our pets and our home!”
About: I’ve grown up with cats my entire life and have experience caring for cats of all ages, personalities, and energy levels. Living in a multi-cat household taught me how to recognize individual needs, respect boundaries, and build trust with each cat. From feeding and litter box care to playtime, companionship, and keeping routines consistent, I understand that every cat is unique. Whether your cat is social and playful or shy and independent, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Anna was so sweet with my puppy. She spent some time with her and even went the extra mile trying to get her to sleep before she left. She did a meet and greet the day before hand which was nice of her. Would definitely reach out again for a check in!”
“Deborah was super friendly to me and my two cats. She agreed to FaceTime me before I booked so I can see how comfortable I was with her and to see her home. We discussed moving plants so the cats wouldn’t get sick and she was very patient and kind as I gave feeding directions and so on. She was also very patient, as my cats are quite energetic. I recommend Deborah for boarding!”
“Zoeyanne did a fantastic job for us! She responded to our initial request for a booking quickly. She followed up. She was punctual. She gave thorough reports about how the visits were going. She provided lots of great pictures and did a lot to make sure that I did not have to worry about my cat while I was on vacation for two weeks. I recommend this person without reservation. You cannot miss by deciding to work with her.”
“Our cat is very anxious and not easy to deal with, but Melissa put a lot of effort into building trust with him and making him feel comfortable while we were away. We really appreciate her patience, attention and care!”
“Lehna was a fantastic cat sitter, my cats loved her and she took great care of them. They warmed up to her immediately and she was extremely thorough and communicative throughout the entire week. Thanks again, Lehna!”
“Amber seems trustworthy and conscientious, and she is an excellent dog sitter. One of my dogs is sweet, but also high-energy and not always a good listener. In no time, Amber gently coaxed him into behaving quite well. He was even behaving better for me after her visit. She also paid attention to my quieter dog,, who sometimes gets overlooked.”
About: I have over 15 years of experience caring for cats and have consistently pet sat for family and friends. I currently have a 9-year-old black cat named Peter, and I’m especially skilled at understanding feline behavior and building trust. I’m very comfortable with all types of cats, including shy, anxious, or more independent personalities. I respect their boundaries, read their cues, and adjust my approach to help them feel safe and comfortable. I also volunteered for 7 years at the Humane Society SPCA, which strengthened my ability to care for animals with a wide range of temperaments and needs. I provide reliable, attentive care and follow your cat’s routine closely, including feeding, litter care, playtime, and companionship. I also send regular updates so you feel at ease while you’re away.
“Jen continues to go above and beyond for Cloak. She's attentive, thoughtful, and shows so much love to him, and she's been a great communicator and very flexible with us. We've been able to take longer trips away thanks to her, and our normally anxious boy is so calm and normal when we get home now. When our plans have changed last minute, or when we have new needs and requests as our boy ages, Jen has been a joy to work with. Highly recommended!!”
About: I’ve cared for cats of all ages and temperaments for over 7 years. From playful kittens to senior cats, I make sure every pet feels comfortable and loved while their owners are away. Friends, neighbors, and family often rely on me to feed, play with, and give extra attention to their cats. I’m patient with shy or nervous kitties and enjoy keeping their routines consistent and stress-free.
“Irina is very lovely lady and caring our cat so much! She followed all instructions, and visited our cat timely. She even stayed longer than our original booking window to spend time and play with Capy. Took a lot photos and video to make sure we feel comfortable during our leave. Our cat is a shy boy, usually hide from strangers but not to Irina. He even showed his belly with trust to her, that says something! We will not hesitate to work with Irina when necessary for next time, thank you so much!🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️”
About: My family has owned multiple cats my whole life, and in high school I decided to raise two kittens myself. I love cats and learning each one’s personality to gain their trust and affection.
About: I’ve been around cats my whole life and understand that each one has their own personality, boundaries, and pace. Some cats want attention right away, some need time to observe from a distance, and some only warm up once they realize they are not being rushed. I’m comfortable caring for playful cats, shy cats, older cats, and cats who need a calmer approach. I can help with feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, companionship, and check-ins while keeping their routine as familiar as possible. My goal is to earn their trust, keep them comfortable, and make sure they feel cared for while you’re away.

“Katharine was a last minute lifesaver on our vacation! We had plans to go horseback riding & leave our boy at the hotel but the night before, he was barking & whining when we’d leave him just to go to the lobby. First time Rover users, we found Katharine & instantly heard back from her. Any helicopter mom anxiety I had dissipated the moment Katharine came out to meet us at the car. Katharine has an amazing, warm energy that let me know our son & his anxiety would be well taken care of & managed. I didn’t feel like I had to worry about him the whole time we were gone - what an unexpected relief! Thank you so much for being there at a moment’s notice. You & the feeling of security you left us with ended up being the best part of our trip! Highly recommend!”
About: I love dogs and want to help with yours! I've cared for pups on Trusted Housesitters, for friends and have fostered many dogs. I'm still in the process of figuring out what type of dog would work best for me one day. Until I get my own pet, I want to help you take care of your furry friend! Part of my earnings will also go to local rescues. If you're interested in fostering, please let me know and I'll connect you with my favorite local rescues! I work from home and need to go on walks and take breaks. So would love to go on walks with your pet or have a furry friend to visit when I'm off duty. For housesitting, I can work from home at your place. Housesitting includes a 30 minute daily walk and potty breaks. If you need a longer walk for your pet, I will modify the pricing. For doggy day care, if you have a non-shedding dog who is potty trained, I'm happy to have a co-working buddy while I work from home if your dog doesn't like being alone. Plus, I'll have a reason to take a break and go outside! For boarding services, I will care for your dog if you can meet my same criteria above for doggy day care.
About: Having raised my own puppy and dogsat for friends with anxious pups, I'm well versed in how to provide for a pup's full time needs. I can also provide puppy training in house manners (for example: waiting patiently to be fed, waiting at doors, simple commands). My care and attention to my own puppy, Chef, is full time and I am super excited to share that with your pup. We can go on excursions or hang around the house or play fetch at the dogpark. Whatever your pup is up for. I have a fenced yard and a friendly pup for your pup(s) to play with! And if your pup doesn't want company for whatever reason, I have gates and crates to make sure they are safe and happy in their own space. Feel free to request photos/videos and check in anytime for updates.
“Toffee was cared extremely well by Yiteng and his wife during the full-day daycare period. This is the first time our dog Toffee went to a completely new place and be cared by a "total stranger", which made Toffee super stressed and hard to do her routine normally. But thanks to the loving cares Toffee received, Yiteng's wife made Toffee feeling like at home and getting comfortable in the new place very quickly. We received many update messages and videos/pictures during the day to see how Toffee was doing and also knowing that Toffee got full attention from the sitter. Another factor we liked the service the most is the nice outdoor environment where Toffee could walk around and do her potty break, which was similar to Toffee's regular routine that she used to while at home. This made it so much easier for Toffee to get acclimated quickly. We required specific feeding routine for Toffee starting with the soft food we made (need to be refrigerated) followed by the hard food. Yiteng's wife is so accommodating on all of our requests, never say NO to any of our suggestions. I am truly grateful for the super loving care Toffee got and I strongly recommend the service from Yiteng's family. I am definitely planning to book this service again.”
“Very clean home and our pup seemed like he really enjoyed his stay with Hui! She sent photos throughout the day and was very attentive. I appreciate her understanding and care with puppy. I hope she can watch Harvey in the future!”
“Winnie and Boba are THE BEST!!! 🏆 Winnie accommodated a last-minute request over Thanksgiving weekend so my husband and I could take a day trip. She even offered a meet-and-greet video call beforehand, which really put my mind at ease since it was our second time using Rover for dog sitting. 🙏 Throughout our communications, Winnie was friendly, responsive, and incredibly helpful. My doggo had a blast playing with Boba, and she sent us plenty of photos and videos showing how much fun they were having together. 🦮🐕🦺 When we picked him up, my dog was clearly sad to leave - always a good sign! 🥹🥲😭🫶 We're already looking forward to our next booking. Highly recommend Winnie and Boba, especially if you have a smaller breed that likes to run and play. ✨”
About: I have 6 years of Rover experience and 30+ years of caring for dogs and other pets. I love dogs and I hope I get to keep doing this forever! ❤️ I’ll send lots of updates and photos of your fur baby’s silly faces, snuggles, actions shots, and all the fun little moments that make their day. Have a peace of mind knowing your fur baby is happy, well cared for, safe, loved, and spoiled to the fullest while you’re away. 😊👍 Available any day, anytime-happy to fit your schedule! Your 🐶 is never left alone or overlooked because I’m right there with them all day - playing, rolling around, relaxing, and having fun together. At night, they happily cuddle on the bed, couch, or wherever they choose to snooze (or in their crate if crate training is preferred by the owner). Your 🐕 will be in a loving home away from home in a very safe, nature-filled neighborhood where they can relax indoors and play to their heart’s content outside in two large fenced areas, each with its own real grass field. There’s plenty of space for zoomies, nature-powered brain workouts, sniffing adventures, sunbathing sessions, and shady chill spots for well-earned breaks in between all the fun, and most importantly, scenic bathroom spots! 😆
“Thank you Shirley for a great first daycare experience for both us and our pup. From keeping us informed at all times (with pics) to giving our puppy a wonderful environment within which to play and rest, everything was top notch. Shirley even went a step beyond and gave us good advice about our pup’s ear care. Thank you!”
“Anna was amazing! Her communication was very quick and clear. She sent me tons of pictures throughout the day and made me feel very comfortable. Leaving my two-year-old dog with her for the day. She was super flexible and pick up and drop off time and Rilee just put all of my pet sitting anxiety at ease. I will definitely be using her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of domestic animals since I was very young. Animals have always been part of my life, and I truly enjoy caring for them, pets are part of our daily routine. My daily routine already includes caring for dogs. I run a small mobile dog grooming business, so I am used to being around pets every day. I’m also used to taking care of animals since I was young, so feeding, walking, playing, and giving attention to pets fits very naturally into my routine. I live in an apartment, but my complex has a dog park and very dog-friendly spaces. Pets will always receive attention, supervision, and a calm environment. I make sure they are safe, comfortable, and follow the routine provided by the owner, including feeding, walks, playtime, and rest.

“Diana was so welcoming and accommodating to Teddy. They have a lovely house with a big back yard that he loved. She was also flexible with seeing whether Teddy would get along with other dogs she was boarding. The pictures she sent me that day made me feel like Teddy was in such good hands. He loved it there.”
About: I have always had a passion for animal caretaking and my love for animals really took off after studying Animal Science at UC Davis. I started off with very basic dog walking which eventually snowballed into dog training. From there I’ve worked at pet hotels, dog training facilities, and fostered for many rescues. I am currently an active foster for BASH, Welcome Home Sanctuary, and Nine Lives here in the Bay Area. My goal is to create the most home-like experience for your pet while you are away, while prioritizing the safety and comfort of your pet. I keep a quiet home to help shy/nervous/anxious pets acclimate and also provide playtimes and owner-brought enrichments for our more rambunctious guests. Pets are allowed on furniture (given they are allowed on furniture at home) and are treated like family. I am comfortable taking pets of all ages with no major illness. I am comfortable administering medications, accommodating special diets, and separating pets that need extra space. I cannot wait to meet your best friend! Time availabilities: I am available for daycare drop offs 7-9am and daycare pick ups 6-9pm I am available for boarding drop offs starting at 9am and pick ups ending by 9pm. Child free home with two adults who WFH. I am available for drop offs and can be flexible M-F; weekends I like to take our guests on hikes to Pulgas Ridge or Stafford Park. Please be up to date on flea/tick meds! * I am not able to take human aggressive pets * Dogs are taken on two walks a day, offered as many potty breaks needed, access to water and toys 24/7, and play times with friends! For the safety of all our guests, dogs are separated during meal times and overnight using crates.
“Kitty was phenomenal! She was recommenced by friends. My dog came back happy and tired! Also I was late to pick up, but Kitty was gracious. I would definitely go back to her!!”

“Esmeralda is wonderful with our golden retriever! She is calm, attentive, and engaging, gets in sync with his personality, and lets him enjoy being outside for an adventure, read the daily doggie news or just hang out listening to music. She is a professional when it comes to her canine care so we are confident when we leave our pup with her. Thank you Esmi!! 😁”
“We feel so fortunate to have found Verona. She’s fantastic with Chewie - loving & sweet and very generous with her walks. I know that Chewie is in good hands. Her updates are great and I look forward to his report card and the great pics that are included.”
“Zoeyanne had great rapport with both of my dogs (who have very different personalities and lots of quirks). She was also very patient and helpful with some problems I had booking the appointment.”
About: I have two dogs that I have been taking care of with my family for 10 years, and have helped family friends care for pets while they are away for years before that.

I am generally available with three day’s notice excluding a few family events. I take dogs on walks around the neighborhood and will follow caretaking instructions to ensure they get food and walks just like they would from their owners.

I believe every pet is unique, and I take the time to understand their individual needs, routines, and personalities.

“Maila was very friendly and professional and great with our dog Buddy. I appreciated that she came over to meet us before the first time walking our dog. She’s super responsive on text and we will definitely keep working with her!”
“Lehna has been a great resource for the care of my two staffies. I have booked her several times already for walks and drop ins. She responds very quickly to requests, has strong communication skills and she updates me with details about how my dogs behaved with her.

About: I have had dogs my whole life and have taken care of many friend's and neighbor's dogs. I just finished playing Division 1 soccer and have tons of energy! Would love to run/walk/train some dogs with lots of energy. I also enjoy showing the older, more chill doggos some love. I am currently looking for jobs so I have a pretty open schedule. I recently graduated and from UC Davis and would love some time with furry friends. I take my dogs on 2 walks per day and let them out a few times in between to potty. I can walk/feed/train/and show some extra love to your pup if you need some extra help!
About: I’ve worked at a doggie daycare for 5 years and we have all types of dogs and puppies. We go on daily outings for 45min or more and always the beach so I’m down for long walks with the doggies I work M-F 8-3 so available anytime after that and weekends! I’m more available on weekdays than weekends. But anything is possible and I can work it out either way I have had an animals all my life and have dealt with the beginning stage of puppies. I have always been the one to look after my dogs and family dogs meaning feeding them, taking them out, etc
About: I love helping families with dogs get their dog the exercise and attention they need to stay happy and healthy. I always treat dogs like they're my own, I love animals of all kinds and can handle all ages and a wide range of personality types. I'm patient with dogs who pull the leash or go slow and do a lot of sniffing. I work part time so I have a fairly flexible schedule from 10am-3pm on Mo-Fr. I am happy to walk outside no matter the weather. I have a new EV to pick your dog up in and take them to a trail head. I always make sure their collar, leash, and/or harness is secured. I am good at following instructions and am accepting of advice you have about taking care of your dog.
About: I’ve been around cats and dogs my whole life, and I’m comfortable caring for animals of different breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. I grew up with cats and was lucky enough to have a litter born in my room, so I’ve been around them from the very beginning. I also grew up with dogs of all sizes and personalities, from playful high-energy dogs to older dogs who need a gentler pace and a little more support. I’m especially patient with animals that are shy, skittish, cautious, or slow to warm up. I know not every cat or dog wants to be approached the same way, and I try to meet them on their terms, earn their trust, and make the interaction feel safe and positive. Whether that means a walk, playtime, quiet companionship, or giving them space, I want your pet to feel comfortable with me. When I take care of an animal, I treat them like they’re my own. I’m attentive with feeding, water, litter boxes, walks, routines, house instructions, and updates. My goal is simple: for you to feel confident while you’re away, and for your pet to get care, attention, and comfort from our time together. I currently have flexible availability and can work with different pet-care needs, including walks, drop-in visits, cat care, and in-home pet sitting. I’m available for weekdays, weekends, and overnights depending on the request, and I’m happy to discuss your pet’s normal routine so I can keep things as consistent as possible while you’re away. I do not offer boarding in my home at this time. For walks, drop-ins, and house sitting, I care for pets in their own home and follow the owner’s instructions closely. I pay attention to feeding routines, fresh water, litter boxes, doors, locks, leash safety, and keeping pets secure and comfortable. I’ll also provide updates so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.
About: Hi! I’m Brenna, 26, and a lifelong dog lover. I grew up with dogs and especially miss my parents’ Australian Shepherd, so getting to spend time with pups genuinely makes me happy. I’d love to have a dog of my own someday, but for now I’m excited to help care for and spend time with yours! I work fully remote, which gives me a flexible schedule for walks, drop-ins, and plenty of quality time. I’m active, reliable, and always up for a beach walk, neighborhood stroll, or hiking adventure with a furry companion. I know how important it is to trust someone with your dog, and I’ll care for your pup like they’re part of the family. I work fully remote and have a flexible schedule, which means plenty of time for walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I’m young, active, and love being outdoors during the week and on weekends — whether that’s beach walks, neighborhood strolls, or getting out on the trails. Honestly, all I’m missing is a pup to bring along with me! I live in a cozy apartment with a small backyard and no other pets. I an about a 3-minute walk from a fire trail and a 5-minute walk to the beach, so there are plenty of opportunities for walks, outdoor time, and exercise.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years and truly love getting to know each one’s personality. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and look after their dogs of all breeds and sizes. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, and those who need a little extra patience or training. Whether it’s playtime, long walks, or quiet cuddles, I make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and happy while in my care. I’m currently working part time, I can care for your pet before work and after work. I will work less than 12 hours a week so I’m hoping to be available often. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always treat their space with the same respect as my own. I follow each pet’s routine closely to help them feel comfortable and secure. I make sure doors and gates are always locked, water bowls are fresh, and pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and love. I send regular photo updates so you can feel confident your furry family member is happy and safe while you’re away.

“Rachael and her partner were nothing short of amazing with our dog Indy. Indy was instantly relaxed when he arrived for the night at Rachael’s, and had a lovely evening of cuddles and play with Rachael and her “crew”. Her dog and kitty were equally as welcoming to Indy! The picture updates were amazing and unexpected, and I could tell Indy was incredibly comfortable for his overnight stay. 10/10 recommend Rachael, and we will absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Katie and Jason are super star dog sitters! My senior dog, Abby, was very comfortable with them. I loved getting all the updates. Katie was really responsive on text and kept to Abby’s schedule and routines. I am so thankful we found them!”
“Irina was a fantastic dog sitter for our Sophie! She clearly loved her, and we could tell Sophie was happy and well cared for the whole time. Irina sent lots of updates, which gave us great peace of mind. We’d happily book her again and highly recommend her!”
About: What sets me apart is the combination of hands-on experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments, along with the level of care and attention I genuinely put into every dog I look after. I’ve worked closely with a young puppy, attending training sessions and learning how to reinforce positive behaviors and create an environment where a dog can thrive. I’m comfortable continuing training routines, maintaining structure, and helping puppies build good habits. On the other end of the spectrum, I also have experience caring for senior dogs who require extra patience and support—whether that’s assisting with mobility, following specific diets, or adapting to hearing and vision loss. I regularly dog sit for friends with very different needs, from high-energy dogs who need multiple long walks a day to older dogs who require a slower pace and more hands-on care. I’ve also cared for multiple dogs at once, making sure each one gets the individual attention they need. I pride myself on being adaptable and attentive, tailoring my care to each dog’s personality, routine, and comfort level. Beyond experience, what truly sets me apart is how deeply I care. I treat every dog like family, not just a job. I’ve even gone out of my way on multiple occasions to help neighbors find their lost dogs and have successfully helped reunite them with their owners several times. I believe it’s our responsibility to create a safe, loving, and positive environment where dogs feel relaxed, happy, and encouraged—and that’s exactly the kind of care I provide every time. I work full-time with a flexible hybrid schedule, which allows me to plan ahead one or two weeks in advance for working on site or at home. On days I go into the office, I can take pups on walks in the early morning or evening. I’m fully available for boarding on weekends, and depending on my work schedule, I can also offer overnight boarding during the week. I do my best to be flexible and accommodate each dog’s routine—whether that means early morning walks, regular potty breaks, or sticking closely to their usual schedule. If your pup is used to a 7am walk, I’m more than happy to start the day early to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I prioritize creating a safe, clean, and comfortable environment that helps every dog feel at ease, whether they’re in my home or their own. In my home, I have a private, fenced backyard that’s only accessible through my apartment, so your dog can safely enjoy fresh air. It’s partially covered as well, providing some protection from rain. Inside, I keep my space clean and dog-friendly, with cushioned area rugs to prevent slipping and give dogs a comfortable place to walk, play, or relax. I also provide cozy blankets and an outdoor dog bed so they have options for resting wherever they feel most comfortable. Cleanliness and routine are very important to me—I wash food bowls after each use and refresh water bowls daily. Dogs are welcome on my furniture, but I always respect and follow your home rules to maintain consistency. If your dog isn’t allowed on furniture, I will reinforce those same boundaries. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m very respectful of their space and attentive to instructions. I carefully follow all provided routines, house rules, and notes to ensure your dog experiences as much consistency and comfort as possible while you’re away.
About: Hi! Thanks for stopping by. Allow me to introduce myself: I'm a (mostly) retired nurse & former farmer, offering a homey stay for your dog. I'm experienced with livestock, birds, all sorts of creatures. Your dog will enjoy the ideal location of my comfy home--its sunny decks, and fenced yard-- nearby to beaches, off-leash Quarry Park, and the recreation and coastal paths. You can enjoy your time away, knowing your pooch is having a great time at my place. I'm at home days & evenings, close by to the critters. Semi retired now, I'm able to dedicate myself to a pet-centric life, to the benefit of all. My home is set up for comfort--making the most of this idyllic coastal environment. Low windows at the front allow the dogs to observe those passing on the street. Two sunny decks connect to my fenced yard, providing a secure, relaxed environment. I am steps from the rec & coastal paths, dog-friendly Quarry Park, the harbor & coastal beaches. Enjoy peace of mind during your time away! Your dog will be a valued guest in my pooch-centric home.
“Nina and Leo were so great with my Quincy. Quincy is a rescue from Korean meat farm and has some issues such as separation anxiety and leash aggression. Nina and Leo were very understanding, seemed extremely experienced, and took great care of Quincy - they even bought him a stuffed toy that he loves and plays with everyday! They provided me with daily updates and photos while I was out of the country for 12 days. I will definitely use them again.”
“Shannon was absolutely wonderful with Dobby. I was able to relax on my vacation knowing my dog was having a vacation of his own with Apollo. She gave frequent updates with plenty of photos and was very communicative during the stay. I couldn’t recommend her enough.”
“Zoey loved her stay with Zicheng! I've always been a tad nervous sending my pup to stay with someone new, but felt instantly at ease with Zicheng, thanks to the many pictures and updates sent. She seemed well cared for, and we'll be back.”
“Alexa is amazing and took amazing care of Meru!!!! I would highly recommend! She is an amazing dog sitter and has a space that is totally dialed for your furry friend!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. They’ve always been at the center of my heart and home. My last two, Pinky and Kika, lived long, happy lives (16 and 18 years), and caring for them taught me patience, attentiveness, and a deep appreciation for every stage of a dog’s life. I offer a calm, loving environment where dogs feel safe and truly cared for, always paying close attention to their routine, comfort, and emotional needs. Whether a dog is playful, shy, or a senior who needs extra gentleness, I treat each one as if they were my own. My husband and I work together to provide a loving and attentive environment for every dog in our care. We focus on helping each dog feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family. Dogs receive plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. Our home is thoughtfully set up for dogs, with a secure and comfortable backyard that’s easy to navigate. We also live just a short walk from a beautiful creek and nearby nature areas, perfect for calm, enriching walks.
“Kristine was so good with my dog, who tends to growl and bark at new people and animals but seemed to take to Kristine and her dog right away. We did a test run overnight, and Maple loved it. Kristine provided regular updates on how she was doing. Maple was in such a good mood the next day when I picked her up. I was so grateful to find a place I knew my dog would be well cared for. Thanks, Kristine!”
“I had an pawsome experience with Ruo during Tyler’s stay. She kept me updated with walks, Tyler’s mood and pictures after initial meet and greet. She shows great care for my son. Really appreciate being flexible last minute and take good good care of Tyler. Would definitely rebook and recommend her!”
“Luke was so great with Garbanzo! He has two other pups Roo and Pickles who get along well with other dogs. He sent me lots of photos of the dogs tired after long days of fun at the dog park.”
“Best sitter ever! Stephen did everything to make sure that Pearl was comfortable while I was away. Some highlights: Someone is always home They take the dogs on long walks and have lots of playtime Huge toy bucket for the dogs to play with They have two very well behaved dogs to give even more company/distraction Sent tons of photos and videos They are truly dog people. I will definitely be booking again! Highly highly highly recommended!”
“Mimi and Wilson were great caretakers of my dog Nala (60 lb german shepherd mix) during an 11 night stay over the holidays. Nala is very hesitant in new spaces and Mimi and Wilson were super accommodating - moving all her things to the room she was most comfortable in and hanging out in there with her as well. I received daily pupdates and pictures and was at ease knowing she was enjoying her stay. Thanks Mimi and Wilson!”
“Kiara was great with my dog Zoe. I received daily updates and pictures and she was very responsive to any questions I had. Looking forward to have her host Zoe again!”

Whether it’s an energetic puppy or a senior dog who needs a little extra patience and attention, I am committed to providing the best care possible and adapting to each pet’s unique needs. When I care for your dog, they will receive plenty of love, attention, and affection. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I am patient, attentive, and truly enjoy building bonds with the animals I care for. I also have a fur baby of my own, a Golden Retriever, who is full of love, energy, and personality! I am currently home full-time and available for drop-in visits, walks, boarding, and house sitting when needed. I have a flexible schedule, communicate quickly, and am happy to accommodate last-minute bookings. I would love the opportunity to care for your furry family member and give them all the love and attention they deserve! I just graduated from San José State University, so I have lots of free time and flexibility to give your pups all the love and care they deserve!

“Christine was fantastic with “Bo.” She kept us updated throughout the evening with pictures and stories while we were gone. Bo was very comfortable with Christine. She was genuinely sweet with him and made him feel comfortable right away. We highly recommend Christine to anyone who needs a caring person to take care of their four legged family members.”
“Deborah was amazing! Very thankful for her to take care of Loki in short notice. She communicated with us very quickly and gave Loki the best experience. Will definitely come back to her.”
