“Lauren and her family looked after Scampi as their own. He was relaxed and seemed too relaxed to come home. He was not in a hurry! I will recommend Lauren and with past experiences I will give her A+! Thanks again Lauren.”
“Morgan was absolutely amazing with our dog, Winston! From the moment we picked him up, he looked happy, healthy, and so well cared for. It was clear that Morgan and her family treated him with genuine love and kindness, and that gave us so much peace of mind. She went above and beyond by sending beautiful pictures and even thoughtful gifts home with Winston—the frame, photos, and toys were such a sweet surprise and truly meant a lot to us. You can tell Morgan is a true animal lover who cares deeply about the pets she watches. We are incredibly grateful for the attention, warmth, and exceptional care she provided. We will absolutely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”
About: Pet Care is important! I can help with your pets needs as your away from home whether on vacation or at work for long hours,I can stop by to help! I add more water & food, play/entertain, take cat outside for an outdoor break, or take your dog on W-A-L-Ks. I offer drop ins / dog walks during the week and overnight stay from Fri-Mon. I provided pet care services for over 10 years and met incredible pets ranging from: your traditional pets(dogs,cats,fish), exotic pets( Asian water monitor Lizard, birds), farm animals (bunnies, chickens, etc.) As a dedicated pet sitter, my daily and weekly routine revolves around ensuring the well-being and happiness of the pets under my care. Here's an overview of how pet care fits into my schedule: Daily Routine: Morning Check-ins: I start the day by visiting each pet on time.This includes feeding, providing fresh water, and spending quality time with them for play and companionship. Midday Breaks: For clients who prefer midday check-ins, I make sure to visit again to offer bathroom breaks, playtime, and any necessary medications. Afternoon Activities: In the afternoon, I engage pets in activities suitable for their energy levels, whether it's a walk, interactive play, or simply some cuddle time. Evening Check-ins: The evening routine involves another round of feeding, ensuring their comfort, and spending time with them before bedtime. 1.Dedicated Pet Space: Pets have access to a dedicated and comfortable space in my home, ensuring they have their own area to relax, sleep, and play. This space is designed to make them feel secure and at home. Dogs in my care will also have the opportunity to go outside every hour for approximately 30 minutes, where they can enjoy the fresh air and outdoor environment. During this time, they will be closely monitored to ensure their safety and well-being. 2.Regular Exercise: Pets staying with me enjoy regular exercise routines, including walks, playtime, and access to a secure outdoor area. 3.Social Interaction: Pets are not only included in my daily activities but also have social time with the residents of the home, including my own friendly dogs. My four dogs, spanning different ages, are consistently supervised during play sessions to ensure a safe and enjoyable environment. 4.Feeding Schedule: I maintain a consistent feeding schedule based on the pet's dietary needs and preferences, following any specific instructions provided by the owner. 5.Grooming and Hygiene: Basic grooming activities such as brushing are included in the care routine. Please note that nail trimming is not offered. However, I do provide a deep clean wash and dry for an additional $15 charge, ensuring your pet receives a thorough grooming experience. 6.Health Monitoring: I pay close attention to the pet's health and behavior, promptly addressing any concerns and providing necessary medications or veterinary care.
“Alessandra was so great! I was super nervous using this app for the first time, but feel truly lucky and blessed having found Alessandra! Upon meeting her, I was super comfortable and I felt as though I was leaving my dog in the care of a good friend or trusted family member. She was very attentive and communicative, I appreciated all the updates and photos while I was away. I have nothing but good things to say, and absolutely recommend her! She will def be my go-to dog sitter! She’s the best!”
“I always feel very comfortable leaving my dogs with Raeana. She does a great job taking care of my pets. I highly recommend her and always will go back to her when I need her services.”
“Meeca stay was so great and he had so much fun with the family members and we will be back Tracey was awesome and kind I never felt so good about leaving Mecca and will be back and I will let all of my friends and family knows that they can bring there little families members to here ❤️ 💙 😊”
“Jennifer was a great sitter for our 2 large breed pups. She gave us a lot of updates and photos and took great care of them. We felt really safe leaving our dogs with her. Her home was clean and secure. I highly recommend sitting with Jennifer and I would take my pups back again in the future. Thank you Jennifer! ☺️”
About: Always had dogs. Lost my rescue dog at 19 years. Sit/board a separation anxiety prone dog. Worked at a small animal hospital for 3 years. I am retired, so very flexible with most hours and days. I am open to overnight stays with a cat friendly dog. And I like having a dog sleep with me. Large fenced back yard. I enjoy walking dogs; no dogs running loose in my neighborhood. Very careful if I go out the front door. Have two indoor cats but they ignore the dog that occasionally boards with me.
“Emmeline treated my Boston Max like part of there family. I met her at a park down the street from her families house. She was kind and very organized. When I dropped Max off we were greeted with a smile. Her family home is beautiful and inviting. We received daily pictures and he was well taken care of. Which gave my family great deal of peace. Thank you again!”
“Definitely 💯 recommend Mr. Kyle. He is awesome 👏. He paid attention to detail and everything we asked and said. He played with our Millie and took our her on walks. He treated her like she was his own. Which we loved.We will definitely use his services again and will recommend him. Thank you 😊 Kyle”
“Amy does an outstanding job caring for your dog. Her understanding, communication and kindness truly resonated strongly with me. She sent updates and pictures of my dog throughout her stay, putting my mind at ease. I trust her with my best friend. I recommend her highly and am blessed I have found a home away from home for my girl Kona.”
“Jennifer did a great job taking care of our cat over a long vacation. She carefully followed all our feeding and medication instructions and sent us regular updates and photos. We felt our pet was very safe and pampered throughout the stay.”
“I cannot recommend Steven enough! My dog is quite skittish with strangers and has a very specific routine at home, so I was nervous about boarding. Steven was incredibly understanding and listened to all my concerns, but what impressed me most was how he prioritized reading her body language over just following my instructions blindly. He understood that she might behave differently in a new environment and adapted brilliantly. Despite the challenges of a different household dynamic—managing a 'grazer' around his own dog and mirroring our busy family routine—he made her feel right at home. By the first night, she was eating, playing, and even sleeping in her crate! If you want a sitter who truly understands dog psychology and provides personalized care, Steven is the one.”
“Allison was so great with my two dogs! This is my first time with rover and I was extremely nervous to leave my dog with someone, however, she made me feel at ease with the whole process. She sent pictures and updates throughout the day and was super flexible! Both of my dogs had a great time I’m sure, they were both so comfortable (which doesn’t happen often)! 10/10 recommend Allison!”
“Celia was so friendly and great with my doggie. He was very happy staying with her, and she kept me updated well with pictures of him. I would trust her to watch him again, anytime!”
“We had a great experience with Taylor and Brian taking care of our dog, Kellie. Taylor’s background in a veterinary clinic made us feel very confident in her care. She clearly loves dogs and has a lot of experience, especially with fostering. Caring for animals is a natural calling for her. Kellie was happy and well taken care of. We will definitely be using them again for Kellie in the future!”
“Crystal took amazing care of my two dogs, Misty and Salma, on very short notice! She was communicative, sent videos/updates, and it was obvious my girls were happy, comfortable, and well supervised. They got nightly walks and plenty of playtime, and Crystal did a great job reading their different personalities, and she also made pickup incredibly easy by dropping them off at my home. I would absolutely book with Crystal again and highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve had cats as pets since I was about five years old. I’m very knowledgeable when it comes to their behaviors, mood, and needs. I’ve had kittens to senior cats in my life. Cats are very special to me, I have a Maine coon and a Bengal currently that are my babies.
About: I used to cat sit and house sit for my sister constantly when I lived in North Dakota. She had two beautiful babies one boy named Biscuit and a spunky girl named Gravy. I never had cats of my own growing up because my mom was allergic but I am such an animal lover all around and bring a calm peaceful energy with me.
“Lesley is a very sweet and kind person who was willing to listen to my requests of how to take care of my cat, Remy who requires extra care since she can’t walk. She has the patience and willingness to learn and care for any pet. I would definitely recommend Lesley and hire her again.”
“Coralie was gracious enough to care for our baby tortoise while we were away. She knew exactly what to do with our Disco, which made us super comfortable. She also sent lots of photos of her throughout the stay. Disco was returned to us happy. I would highly recommend Coralie for all your pet sitting needs. Thanks Again!!!”
About: I grew up in a house full of animals and have been caring for dogs and cats ever since. I understand how stressful it is to leave your pet with someone new, so I make it my priority to follow their routines and keep them comfortable. My experience includes: - Senior pets who need slower-paced care and extra attention - Puppies and younger dogs who need training reinforcement and boundaries - Shy or anxious pets who take time to warm up - Cats with specific feeding schedules, litter preferences, or medical needs - Multi-pet households where each animal has different requirements I take this work seriously because I know what your pet means to you. When you book with me, you're not getting someone who's just going through the motions. You're getting someone who will care for your dog or cat the way they deserve. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which means I'm home most of the day. That gives me time to: - Take dogs on multiple walks or play sessions throughout the day - Keep cats on their normal feeding and playtime routines - Stay present for pets who need companionship or have separation anxiety I can adjust my availability based on your needs, whether that's overnight stays, drop-in visits, or regular walking. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. In your home: - I follow your routines exactly—feeding times, walk routes, medication schedules, bedtime habits - I keep doors and gates secure, especially with escape-prone cats or anxious dogs - I send updates and photos so you know how things are going - I treat your home with respect and leave it the way I found it In my home: - Clean, pet-friendly space with secure doors and windows - Separate areas for pets who need their own space (especially important for cats) - Comfortable sleeping areas, fresh water, and plenty of playtime or downtime based on what they prefer When you trust me with your pet, I take that seriously. They get the same care, consistency, and attention I'd give my own. No exceptions.
About: Always have animals in my life from a chinchilla, Netherland dwarf rabbits, dogs, and cats. Caring for and loving animals has always been my passion. I’m transitioning from having my dog walk with me every day helping me get my 10,000 steps a day to now doing it alone. I miss the companionship of a walking buddy. I’m obviously not ready to get a new dog. But I would be honored to walk your dog. My late afternoon are perfect taking your dog out for a a midday stroll. During softball season I work on the weekends but I may have weekends open up or I can take them early in the morning and in late afternoon if that’s something you would prefer. I would touch base with you on any special requirements that are needed to take care of your fur baby. Whether that be medication, sleep schedule, feeding schedule or just corky things are fur baby enjoys I will be happy to do.
“Chichi had a drop-in visit with my dog in anticipation of walking him daily for a couple of weeks. I was impressed by her experience with reactive dogs. She was not at all put off by my dog's fearful reaction to a new person and I am happy to have found someone who understands dog psychology.”
“Amazing Dog Sitter! Jazmyne took fantastic care of my dog, providing plenty of love, attention, and updates. My pup was happy and relaxed when I returned. Highly recommend and will definitely book again!”
About: I have two years of hands-on experience caring for cats, including feeding, litter maintenance, and giving them the attention they need to feel comfortable.

You can count on me to be reliable, responsible, and fully committed to your cat’s well-being
About: Hello! I'm Jon, and I've been a dog owner since childhood. I've also been a competitive utility dog sport trainer for the last 10 years. Experience includes training in scent work, competitive sport, dock diving, obedience, environmental conditioning, and more. Visitors are integrated into the typical routines, where safe & appropriate to do so. I can easily modify schedules to accommodate additional needs such as medications or special diets. The home is on a half acre of fenced property. Your dog will receive their attention and enrichment in a safe environment. To this end, I have instituted the following guidelines for the safety of both clients and our personal dogs: Your dog(s) will be out on a 1-on-1 basis. If determined that your dog is stable, and has a play style that meshes well with one of our personal (and stable) dogs, they may have play time with those dogs (with your permission) only. I utilize a structured, positive/neutral introduction and do not force any interactions. I also require all visitors to be crate trained. Some visiting dogs are fearful or simply do not wish to interact with other dogs, and I provide them with the opportunity to be free from such interactions. We do accept dogs that are not crate trained, with a special care fee, which covers extra time to work with your dog to have a positive experience with crate time.
About: I bring a unique blend of veterinary medicine experience and hands-on foster work into every pet I care for. I’ve worked in veterinary settings and have a strong understanding of animal health, behavior, and stress signals, which allows me to provide safe, attentive, and low-stress care. In addition to my vet med background, I actively foster dogs through local shelters, including those needing extra support, structure, or decompression outside of the shelter environment. I’m experienced with a wide range of temperaments—from high-energy dogs to more sensitive or anxious pets—and I prioritize patience, consistency, and positive interactions. Whether your pet needs a calm, structured environment, help maintaining routines, or just extra attention while you’re away, I treat every animal like they’re my own. My goal is to provide reliable, informed care you can feel confident in.
“MK took great care of my guinea pigs while I went away on a weekend vacation!! It was so great knowing that I didn't have to worry about pet care while away. It's even more great that there are people willing to care for other animals outside of the usual cat/dog - highly recommend this sitter!!”

“Alyssa is great! She responded quickly, showed up on time and was very professional. Our pup was tired out after his brisk 30 minute walk. What great service! Will definitely rebook with Alyssa.”
“Hired Jennifer for dog walking while I was away on vacation. My neighbor would be the one to hand over Minnie Boo, so she had to reach out to her. Jennifer was very professional and was very communicative. Definitely will be using her again!”
About: I have been working as a dog groomer for two years, following very specific and tedious safety policies. I have worked with dogs as old as 20 and as young as 2 months. I am very familiar with dogs ranging from 5-140 pounds :). I am a current college student at Stan State! I don't have classes on Wednesday or Thursday and work as a dog groomer on the weekends. However I'm totally free Tuesday mornings. I'm not free on the weekends, just because I return home to Stockton to visit my family and hang out with my pups :)! I am very familiar with proper leash walking along with signs of stress in dogs, both critical and non critical. I am more than willing to take the long route if it means the comfort of your furry friend. I'm a big fan of both cuddling or getting some fresh air! Totally up to what your pup might need!

About: I have a genuine desire to care for pets. I've been a dog owner from a young age and pets in general have always played a significant role of my life. I've been able to care for a wide range of animals, big and small to young and old. I am a proud owner of a senior Miniature Schnauzer who has been apart of my life as far back as I remember. Pet care is something I've devoted a lot of my time to as dogs and cats alike have been something rewarding, and at times, even comforting to me. I care for client's pets as I would my own. Whether it's a young, energetic pup that could use a walk around the neighborhood or an senior dog that requires me to administer medication, there's no doubt in my mind that the job will be done right and I can be counted on to deliver the best service I can offer! :)

“Lauren and her family looked after Scampi as their own. He was relaxed and seemed too relaxed to come home. He was not in a hurry! I will recommend Lauren and with past experiences I will give her A+! Thanks again Lauren.”
“Morgan was absolutely amazing with our dog, Winston! From the moment we picked him up, he looked happy, healthy, and so well cared for. It was clear that Morgan and her family treated him with genuine love and kindness, and that gave us so much peace of mind. She went above and beyond by sending beautiful pictures and even thoughtful gifts home with Winston—the frame, photos, and toys were such a sweet surprise and truly meant a lot to us. You can tell Morgan is a true animal lover who cares deeply about the pets she watches. We are incredibly grateful for the attention, warmth, and exceptional care she provided. We will absolutely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”

“Alessandra was so great! I was super nervous using this app for the first time, but feel truly lucky and blessed having found Alessandra! Upon meeting her, I was super comfortable and I felt as though I was leaving my dog in the care of a good friend or trusted family member. She was very attentive and communicative, I appreciated all the updates and photos while I was away. I have nothing but good things to say, and absolutely recommend her! She will def be my go-to dog sitter! She’s the best!”
“Meeca stay was so great and he had so much fun with the family members and we will be back Tracey was awesome and kind I never felt so good about leaving Mecca and will be back and I will let all of my friends and family knows that they can bring there little families members to here ❤️ 💙 😊”
“Jennifer was a great sitter for our 2 large breed pups. She gave us a lot of updates and photos and took great care of them. We felt really safe leaving our dogs with her. Her home was clean and secure. I highly recommend sitting with Jennifer and I would take my pups back again in the future. Thank you Jennifer! ☺️”
“Definitely 💯 recommend Mr. Kyle. He is awesome 👏. He paid attention to detail and everything we asked and said. He played with our Millie and took our her on walks. He treated her like she was his own. Which we loved.We will definitely use his services again and will recommend him. Thank you 😊 Kyle”
“I cannot recommend Steven enough! My dog is quite skittish with strangers and has a very specific routine at home, so I was nervous about boarding. Steven was incredibly understanding and listened to all my concerns, but what impressed me most was how he prioritized reading her body language over just following my instructions blindly. He understood that she might behave differently in a new environment and adapted brilliantly. Despite the challenges of a different household dynamic—managing a 'grazer' around his own dog and mirroring our busy family routine—he made her feel right at home. By the first night, she was eating, playing, and even sleeping in her crate! If you want a sitter who truly understands dog psychology and provides personalized care, Steven is the one.”
“We had a great experience with Taylor and Brian taking care of our dog, Kellie. Taylor’s background in a veterinary clinic made us feel very confident in her care. She clearly loves dogs and has a lot of experience, especially with fostering. Caring for animals is a natural calling for her. Kellie was happy and well taken care of. We will definitely be using them again for Kellie in the future!”
“Crystal took amazing care of my two dogs, Misty and Salma, on very short notice! She was communicative, sent videos/updates, and it was obvious my girls were happy, comfortable, and well supervised. They got nightly walks and plenty of playtime, and Crystal did a great job reading their different personalities, and she also made pickup incredibly easy by dropping them off at my home. I would absolutely book with Crystal again and highly recommend her!”
“I just want to say Stephanie is AMAZING! It is really hard finding someone to watch my fur babies because one is a pitbul and the other a bully, but Stephanie and her family took both of them in and took care of them like they were her own. Thank you for all the photos and updates as well! I will definitely use Stephanie again!!! Thank you again so much!!”
About: 15 years of experience with dog sitting/walking. Discount may be give to repeat customers. I speak English, Portuguese, Spanish, and some Russian in case you have limited English and feel comfortable using one of those. I have taken care of old dogs, puppies, dogs small, large, and In between too. I’m extremely responsible with ensuring your pet receives their medication as needed, if needed. I love to walk, but tailor my services to your dogs needs. Want me to have them socialize with my dog, done. Want me to keep the dogs separate, I can do that too. Message me and let me know what you need! Something that separates me from others: I understand some dogs are just vocal and not aggressive. I have experience sitting extremely vocal dogs who most people would think are aggressive, but really they just like to bark. Please disclose if your dog is not good around children when booking! Thank you and I’m looking forward to meeting you and your dog(s). I don’t discriminate based on gender, gender expression, religion, age, sexual orientation, race, or for any other reason. I welcome and respect all people and dogs I am currently working from home with a dog of my own, this allows me to adjust my daily schedule to your pets needs. I go on daily walks so your dog will fit right in. I have a fenced yard and a dog for your dog to socialize, but also have room to keep them separate if preferred. Dogs are fed as much and as often as requested by owner along with the amount of potty breaks. If the pet is house trained they are also allowed to be in the home, I have house trained dogs so can help with that too. I love to give dogs treats so they can expect treats when they are over if approved by you!
“Nestor did a fantastic job watching my baby boy Taro. He had a great time going on walks and playing with the dog in the home. My dog is typically very anxious but seemed to fit in perfectly while I was away, putting me at ease.”
About: Hi, I'm Katelyn! 🐾 As a lifelong animal lover and experienced caregiver, I know that your pets aren't just animals—they are cherished members of your family. My goal is to give you total peace of mind while you're away by providing the exact same love, attention, and structured care that you do. Whether your dog needs a high-energy walk around the neighborhood, your cat prefers quiet companionship, or your furry friend thrives on a strict feeding and routine schedule, I’ve got you covered. I pride myself on being reliable, highly communicative, and attentive to every detail of your pet's needs. I can't wait to meet your fur babies! I’m a stay at home mom and have plenty of time to make sure your pet has regular potty and play breaks and plenty of love. We have a fenced back yard and plenty of room for your fur baby to run around. I can also take your pet for walks if requested.
“Nadine did a fantastic job making sure our pup felt happy and safe. She extended the booking when we needed it as well. She kept us updated with pics daily so we knew he was having a good time. Thank you so much Nadine!”
About: I have always been a dog lover as well as a dog owner. I am outgoing, responsible, patient and affectionate. I make sure I am caring for each dog properly for their needs and wants. I am able to exercise with the dogs and take them out frequently for potty breaks. I also now have 2 large breeds of my own and it has been a mostly fun and rewarding experience. They help me with my mental health and physical health. My family and I have so much fun dog boarding and I find it fulfilling to work as a dog sitter. Maybe I'll open up a unique pet services business one day 🙏🏾🤗🫶🏾 Pet care fits into my schedule when I am not working a full-time job. As I stated, I have 2 dogs of my own and spend a lot of time training them and taking care of their physical needs. In my own home and in a clients home I will care for your pets as if they were my own and follow the guidelines and notes that are given to me. I appreciate notes and advice from owners.
