“Milo stayed with Mary again and he had such a great time! I felt completely at ease throughout my whole trip thanks to the regular updates and photos. I truly can’t recommend Mary enough!”
“Nina was great and my pet was happy staying in her home. Nina communicated well and before booking with her we met so my pet can get to know her before the stay. During my vacation, Nina would send me pictures of my pet and messages about how she was doing. I was satisfied with her care and would definitely recommend her to others and use her again in the future. Thank you!”
“Lea is so awesome. She takes great care of my dog. My dog Yuki looked happy when she stayed with Lea. Lea also sends many updates throughout the day proactively. This is my first time using Rover, I believe Lea gave me a great experience. I would definitely rebook her in the future if her schedule allows.”
“Harper, Was an excellent communicator, she sent me pictures of Honey, and videos every day! She kept me posted and it made me feel very happy to see Honey going for a walk and looking happy with her sitter! Thank you Harper, you did a wonderful job! Marisel”
“Olivia was amazing! Our pup had a wonderful time! She had ample outside time and playtime with other dogs. We were provided many photos and updates throughout our stay. Will absolutely bring our girl back!”
“We were looking for a new sitter because our usual sitter was unavailable for an upcoming trip. At the meet and greet with Robin, we were worried when Shamu barked every time she got up and walked around. It always takes time for our cautious dog to warm up to new people. Robin suggested that Shamu stay with her to make certain that they would get along. Wow, we were surprised by the glowing reports and Robin told us that Shamu was a gentleman! Robin and Daniel's loving ways won over our little dog. We are looking forward to using them again.”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life and genuinely enjoy caring for them. I provide a safe, loving home environment and care for one family’s pet at a time so your dog gets plenty of attention and individualized care. I’ll follow your pet’s routine and make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home while you’re away. I work a hybrid schedule and provide boarding throughout the week and on weekends. Dogs in my care should be comfortable spending a 1-2 hours independently at a time while I am running errands, or attending to other commitments (picking kid up from camp or school for example). Mondays and Thursdays are typically office days, so these days are my longest periods away from home (~8 hours during the day). Outside of those times, dogs receive plenty of attention, affection, walks, and care. I want both pets and their owners to feel comfortable and at ease. I provide a safe, family-oriented home and care for one family’s pet at a time. I’ll follow your dog’s routine, feeding schedule, medications, and any special instructions, and I’m happy to send updates and photos while you’re away.
“Ellie had an amazing time with Natallia. She took notes of all my instructions and paid extra attention to things that Ellie is a little bit shy of doing or eating. I definitely would trust Natallia to take care of my dog again!”
“Angelica was awesome. I could tell she really cares for the dogs through my interactions with her. Her communication was excellent, and provided frequent updates through messages, pictures and videos. Couldn't ask for more from a sitter who was willing to take on three Pomeranians!”
“Lai Yung and her family provided an awesome stay for our little guy Koa while we were out of town for 4 days! The videos and pictures we received were very comforting and allowed us to enjoy our vacation. We will definitely book with Lai Yung again!”
About: I have been caring for pets since I was 10 years old and have experience looking after my own pets as well as those of family members and friends! Over the years, I have provided a variety of pet care services, including taking pets on walks, playing with them, feeding them, and bathing them. My experience has helped me develop a strong understanding of pet needs and a genuine love for caring for animals! I'm available on weekdays from 10am-5pm and weekends from after 2pm! Feel free to please reach out even if it seems that I'm not available! I am pretty open unless I have another schedule / bookings. Please try to request a few weeks out so we can guarantee a meet & greet! I have a reliable transportation to go to farther places if needed. I have a fenced backyard for your pets to play in! I have a two story home that allows your pets to comfortably roam around. I currently have no personal pets residing in my house so I will be able to take care of your pet more properly one on one!
“Jocelyn was great with my dog. She knew we were nervous leaving him for the first time and gave us regular updates. She even gave him a mini photoshoot with better pictures I would've taken. He looked so comfortable when I picked him up as if he had known Jocelyn forever. Thank you Jocelyn!”
“April and Josh did an amazing job taking care of my GermanShepard-Husky Stella. They sent me many photos and videos of how she was doing. My dog is usually very uncomfortable when I am away but she quickly adjusted to staying with them and their very sweet golden named Boba. I would highly recommend them”
“Sarentuya was wonderful with my dog! She can be pouty and refused to go on walks, but she was so patient and gave her lots of love and attention instead. I really appreciated the photo updates and knowing she was comfortable and cared for. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!”
“Izzy and his family took good care of Marley and Tadashi while we were out of town for 12 days. He was always very responsive and sent pictures on a daily basis. We are so fortunate to have found him.”

“Angela did an excellent job taking care of my two cats, one of them requiring two pills per day for his GI lymphoma. She even took care of a perishable delivery which came for me while I was gone. I recommend Angela highly.”
“Supriya did fantastic. We have total peace in mind knowing she was there and everything was well taken care of. Thanks for checking everything like his litter box, food, health, etc. We appreciate you looking after our little angel baby and sending us the most adorable photos. We will definitely be in contact again for future trips!!!”
“Krystle was amazing with our cat! She helped with all the things I asked for and went above and beyond and helped with other things like ant invasion when we were away. She was extremely patient and sweet with our cat that was hiding under the couch during her visits. She was able to get our cat to play with her after couple of days, thanks to Krystle’s gentle approach. I was comfortable being away and knew that my cat was being treated well and taken care of. I 100% recommend Krystle! She’s truly the best. I’ll definitely reach out to her if I need a sitter again.”
“Dani always does an amazing job with my two cats, who are like children to me. It is clear how much she really loves and cares about them, which puts my mind at ease when I travel. She is very responsible and reliable, and the kitties love her!”
“Jesselle was above and beyond! It was an absolute pleasure having her care for our two cats. It was the first time that we left them and she made sure that the whole process was seamless. I love how she provided so many pictures and videos. We were at ease knowing that our cats were comfy and happy.”

About: I have experiences with Senior care and basic training for puppies. I watch their body languages carefully to know when to pause a play and what they need from me :) Leia and I usually go for a walk in the morning, around 5 in the afternoon and quick bathroom break before going to bed. I work from home most of the time so id love to help to care for another dog so they’re not depressed alone at home whole the parents are off to earn money for their their pawbills 😝 I help to care for friends dogs when they need and I feed them together but separately so they don’t get food aggressive. I also monitor toys so it doesn’t create fights. Because I have Leia, I know the struggle and guilt feelings when you have vacation planned and need to leave the pup. I try my best to give lots of updates and pics so the humans can enjoy their time away as well.
“Christina and Nathan was absolutely amazing with my babies, Tofu & Panko. They were friendly, responsive, and reliable and kept me updated the whole time with messages and photos, which gave me total peace of mind. My babies felt comfortable the moment they walked in. I would definitely book with them again—highly recommend!”
About: Hi! I’m a full-time animal lover based in Hayward with hands-on experience caring for multiple pets every day. I currently have 6 cats a French Bulldog puppy and a chihuahua , so I understand different personalities, energy levels, and how to keep pets safe, calm, and happy. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or needs extra attention, I’m patient and attentive. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel comfortable while you’re away. What you can expect: • Regular photo & video updates • Safe, clean home environment • Flexible schedule & quick responses • Experience with puppies, cats, and multiple pets I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I take that seriously. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family! I feed my animals twice a day and I walk the dogs twice a day morning and evening. Throughout the day dogs engage in playful fetch and games. They go out in the yard and enjoy the sun and run around. I have decent size house with two yards so plenty of space to run around. I have an extra room if animals need to be seperated.
“She was incredibly patient and caring with my puppy. Since he hasn’t completed all of his vaccinations yet, she was able to accommodate him by only watching one dog at a time, which gave me great peace of mind. She regularly sent me photos and updates, so I always knew how he was doing. She also helped with his potty training and was very attentive to his needs. I could tell she genuinely cared about him and treated him like her own. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and responsible dog sitter! I will definitely rebook her if needed in the future! Thanks Yan!”

I know my dog enjoyed staying with her because she seemed tired when I picked her up and went to sleep right after we got home.”

About: I have worked in a dog kennel for 3 years, and I am very experienced when it comes to dogs. It’s very important to know how to work with pets and take great care of them. I am a single mom, so this job helps me balance my schedule a lot with my baby and helps me be more present with her. I have a dog myself and I make sure he is well fed as well as making sure he gets his exercise every day because it’s important for them.
About: I have experience taking care of dogs because I grew up with them. Being around dogs has always felt natural to me, so I understand the basics of feeding them, walking them, playing with them, keeping them comfortable, and paying attention to what they need. I’m gentle, patient, and attentive, but I’m also playful, so I enjoy making sure dogs are not just cared for, but actually happy and engaged. I know every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I would always respect the owner’s instructions and take time to understand what works best for their dog. I’m currently in college and home for the summer, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I’m available for walks, playtime, drop-ins, and consistent care throughout the week. I’m happy to work with your dog’s routine and make scheduling easy for you. I care for pets by keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. In a client’s home, I would follow their instructions carefully, whether that includes feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication, or general house rules. I want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. For walks or visits, I would stay aware of my surroundings, keep dogs secure on their leash, avoid unsafe situations, and pay attention to how they’re acting. My goal is for the pet to feel cared for and for the owner to feel relaxed knowing their dog is safe and in good hands.
“Jackie and Jannalea were very sweet and patient with my dog Ponyo. Ponyo got her walks and they managed to take the same route that I usually do without my prompting! Got photos and updates each time so I knew what was going on. Wouldn't hesitate to book again!”
About: Hello, I've had dogs my whole life. I currently have one little Frenchie and sometimes help with my daughter’s father’s dog training facility. I’m open to walking and boarding dogs if needed.

I live in a one story house with a fenced yard and your fur babies are free to roam around or which ever you prefer.

Mondays and Thursdays are typically office days, so these days are my longest periods away from home (~8 hours during the day). Outside of those times, dogs receive plenty of attention, affection, walks, and care. I want both pets and their owners to feel comfortable and at ease. I provide a safe, family-oriented home and care for one family’s pet at a time. I’ll follow your dog’s routine, feeding schedule, medications, and any special instructions, and I’m happy to send updates and photos while you’re away.
“Ellie had an amazing time with Natallia. She took notes of all my instructions and paid extra attention to things that Ellie is a little bit shy of doing or eating. I definitely would trust Natallia to take care of my dog again!”
“Jocelyn was great with my dog. She knew we were nervous leaving him for the first time and gave us regular updates. She even gave him a mini photoshoot with better pictures I would've taken. He looked so comfortable when I picked him up as if he had known Jocelyn forever. Thank you Jocelyn!”
“April and Josh did an amazing job taking care of my GermanShepard-Husky Stella. They sent me many photos and videos of how she was doing. My dog is usually very uncomfortable when I am away but she quickly adjusted to staying with them and their very sweet golden named Boba. I would highly recommend them”
“Sarentuya was wonderful with my dog! She can be pouty and refused to go on walks, but she was so patient and gave her lots of love and attention instead. I really appreciated the photo updates and knowing she was comfortable and cared for. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!”
“Tracey was super communicative and cared for Leo well. She has a great set up and nice neighborhood for dogs, and her 2 boxer buddies were so friendly. Would definitely book again!”
“We boarded our two dogs (one of which is deaf) for an extended weekend at Caddie's. Caddie sent regular videos and photos of the dogs from the moment we dropped them off to the time of pickup. Caddie maintained communication the whole time, asking questions about our deaf dog's command language and other care needs. She also provided updates about their food intake. Caddie and her family not only played and walked our dogs daily, they also cleaned and groomed them often. Our dogs were definitely pampered during their stay. Caddie's home is like a second home. We will certainly consider Caddie for our future dog boarding needs.”
“I can’t say enough good things about this sitter. She kept me updated throughout the stay, sent plenty of photos, and made sure my dog felt comfortable and loved. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she watches. I felt totally confident leaving my dog with her, and I’ll be booking her again without hesitation. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and attentive.”
About: I’m an owner of a 3 year old Doberman who I trained myself. I am very comfortable with high energy, intelligent breeds and structured routines. My whole life I was around farm animals, especially horses, chickens, goats, cows and dogs. They have been apart of my life since I was a little girl and have always loved being around animals. They’re truly amazing, and intelligent!!! I’m a patient person, attentive, and committed to keeping your pet safe! I am excited to meet you and your fur baby! 🐾🐶🐕🦺🦮🐩🦴🐕 I am currently working part-time and my availability is very flexible. My schedule gives me lots of free time, so I’m able to focus on meeting your pet’s needs and giving them plenty of love and attention. I treat your fur baby as if they were my own making them feel love, secured and well cared for. I will always send pictures and updates to their owners. 📸🤳
“Gagan was very accommodating of our last minute request and provided estate for our cat keeping him in a separate room to make him feel comfortable. He kept us informed via updates and photos and took good care of him. Highly recommended”
“If you need someone who can pay attention to details, Dean is your sitter. He will thoroughly read the profile of your pet and follow it to the “T”. If he is not clear about something, he will ask. He takes his sitting job very seriously. Your pet is safe with him.”
“Ashu was great and very accommodating. I’m glad I was able to find her the day before our trip. We were able to do a last minute meet and greet with her pup to make sure they got along and luckily they did. Got lots of pictures and I’m sure Lilikoi had a great time. Would definitely book again.”
“Katsiaryna did a wonderful job watching our mini doodle. You can tell that she really cares about her pups, and she makes sure that they thrive emotionally. She sent lots of great pictures and gave status updates on how our boy was doing. Thank you Katsiaryna!”
“My dog was so chill when I came to pick her up. She didn't want to leave. I have never seen her so content with someone else. I trust Astrid and her family and thank them from the bottom of my heart for such a good stay. It makes me so comfortable to know my baby is safe with them.”
