“Mario is an incredibly considerate and kind sitter! We have boarded with Mario many many times now and will continue to do so. He does a great job communicating and sending photos everyday! Highly recommend”
“I’m a new user to Rover and these two have been outstanding for my first experience. They kept me updated with photos and videos on how my dog (Charlie) was doing and how much fun he was having interacting with their dogs. 10/10 would highly recommend again.”
“I came to Thiago from Leticia! It was kind of a last minute booking and Thiago was quick to reply. Tito had a blast, and I could see it from the pictures sent :) Will definitely book again when possible.”
“Catherine and her husband are so sweet and communicative! We received daily updates on Gale’s behavior and lots of cute pics! They spoiled our dog with two walks a day (I normally only give her one!) and have a fenced in yard for play. I could tell that they really cherished having our dog’s company instead of just dogsitting for the additional income. Their heart is in it for sure!”
“Felt very reassured during the entire booking. I received constant updates and pictures of my dog while I was gone. She always asked questions when unsure and was very flexible to make sure my dog got the care he needed. Very fast at responding. Overall great experience.”
“Sandra and Jose were excellent with my two girls - Ellie and Lucy. They were patient, kind, and attentive with them and they sent many updates regarding how they were getting along and settling in. I highly recommend them and I will definitely be using them again for future stays.”
About: I currently am a dog mom to a 12-year-old toy poodle, Pingu. He's very energetic and I would love to have him make more furry friends. Dogs must all be updated with their rabies and flea medications. I will not accept more than 3 dogs each time (with an exception for dogs from the same household) to make sure each dog will be getting the care and attention they deserve. I take the dogs out at least 3 times a day. Morning, Late Afternoon, Before bed. Feel free to ask me any questions. I am looking forward to meet your pups :) I work from home and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future, so I will have lots of time to spend with your fur baby. Your fur baby will be able to roam around and play as they please in the yard. I live in a single family house with a side yard where my dog often plays. My neighborhood is a dog loving community so your fur baby will have the opportunity to meet other dogs as well. I stay home most of the time and I make sure your dog will be on leash whenever we leave the house.
“Ivan did a great job dog sitting our two little dogs! He always kept us updated. Drop off and pick up was easily coordinated. Our dogs seemed to have a blast! He sent lots of photos of our dogs having fun, outside, and taking their naps. Will definitely be using his services again!”
“You won’t find better dog care than Katie and Jason! Attentive, caring and loving- they went above and beyond with walks, playtime and snuggles. Benji had a wonderful time staycationing with them! Super great communication before and during stay, too! Our pooches will be back. Can’t recommend more highly. 🩷”
“Leeeun took care of our Teddy for 15 days while we were on an extended vacation. She sent numerous photos and correspondence. I did not worry at all while Teddy was in her care. She treated him like a member of her family and I know Teddy enjoyed every minute. Do not hesitate to choose her to take care of your pup!”
“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.”
“Kiara and her family took great care of our 8 year old labradoodle for little over a week. Our puppy has some medical needs and we were very comfortable that he was well taken care of. Thank you Kiara”
“Winnie was amazing taking care of our mini Bernedoodle for about a week in her home. Our dog can be a picky eater, especially when away from home, but Winnie made sure she ate and was great at communicating with us. We've already booked future stays. Thanks, Winnie!”
“My dogs stayed with Anna for three weeks while I recover from surgery. She was so patient with my two dogs and gave them lots of affection and loving care. Not only she sent me lots photos and texts communication, she let me visit them at her home. I’m so grateful for Anna, so I can heal properly and peacefully during these three weeks.”
“Communicative and I really enjoyed seeing pictures of our pup during her stay! Stella I'm sure enjoyed all the play time and walks~ Thank you! Would love for her to stay again!”
“Kelly was amazing from start to finish. She was so flexible when our vacation dates changed, adding 2 additional days right at Christmas time. She went over and above by allowing us to come twice for a meet and greet ahead of time so Biscotti could get used to her. During Biscotti’s stay, she sent us multiple updates throughout the day. It was obvious she was taking great care of Biscotti as well as the other 2 dogs she was caring for. Biscotti was happy, healthy, and sad to say goodbye to her new friend when we picked her up. Kelly provided all the daily love and attention Biscotti was used to and we never worried about her during our trip. I highly recommend Kelly!”
About: Hi, I’m Lisa! For over 21 years, dogs have been at the very heart of my life. From energetic puppies needing guidance to rescue fosters learning to trust, and gentle seniors who require a lighter touch and extra patience, I have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. My ultimate goal is simple: to make your dog feel just as safe, relaxed, and loved in my home as they do in yours. What You & Your Dog Can Expect - A Welcoming & Social Environment: I have two very sweet, well-mannered dogs who are gentle and love meeting new friends. They get along effortlessly with every dog they meet and help guest pups settle in quickly and feel right at home. - Tailored Routines & Comfort: Every dog has a unique routine. Whether your pup requires oral medication, specific feeding schedules, special sleeping arrangements, or just extra couch cuddles, I adapt completely to their comfort zone. - Fun Outings & Playtime: If your dog loves staying active, we’ll take daily neighborhood walks and fun trips to the local dog park to run and play. Prefer a low-key day relaxing indoors? I can cater to every energy level! - Peace of Mind & Daily Updates: I know how hard it can be to leave your furry family member behind. I send regular photo and video updates throughout their stay so you always know how happy and relaxed they are. - Safety First: With two decades of owner and sitting experience, I am adept at reading dog body language, managing play safely, and keeping a secure, calm environment at all times. Specialized Experience - Puppies: Potty break schedules, basic command reinforcement, and gentle socialization. - Senior Dogs: Mobility support, medication administration, and relaxed, low-impact routines. - Rescue & Foster Dogs: Calming techniques for anxious pups, patience, and positive reinforcement. I always welcome a pre-booking Meet & Greet so our dogs can get acquainted and we can discuss your pup’s exact needs. I look forward to welcoming your dog into our family! Being retired allows me to dedicate my full attention to dog care and comfortably accommodate all kinds of schedules. I am at home the vast majority of the day. On the rare occasion I need to step out for a quick errand, I usually bring the dogs along with me for company, keeping them safe, supervised, and comfortable at all times. Your dog will be welcomed as a true member of our family with full access to our main floor living area and secure backyard. We have a convenient doggy door for pups who know how to use it, but I am always happy to take dogs out personally for regular potty breaks if they aren't familiar with one. To keep everyone happy and active, we go for plenty of walks around the neighborhood and visits to the local park.

“Stephanie was an excellent sitter! She was thorough with her communication and updates, as well as going above and beyond to help clean up some messes from our older cat. I appreciate her warm and friendly attitude and her love for animals. Will certainly book again.”
“Andrea was a wonderful sitter for our two cats! She was very thorough in her daily updates and sent lots of great pictures and videos while we were away. Andrea is responsible, reliable, and clearly loves cats. I would absolutely recommend her as a sitter!”
“Blessy is a super kind and knowledgeable sitter. She certainly got my cats to warm up to her very fast. She completed all the tasks we requested of her and was super flexible when our plans changed. We appreciated the care she gave our cat Anchovy who is quite the active youngster, we could tell he had been played with sufficiently by her. He didn’t seem anxious at all when we got home. Needless to say, we appreciated all the detailed care our pets received in our home. Our older cat Chiquitina seemed pleased and that made us happy. We hope to have Blessy sit for us again sometime soon”
“Mashiat was extra caring and wonderful for Papash. They were super flexible around our pick up and drop off and went out of their way to also help us haul his stuff to our car. We also appreciated her communication and keeping us in the loop.”
“Sandra was wonderful! She was extremely communicative, keeping us updated and giving us peace of mind while we were away. She was also very patient and gentle with our three very shy cats. We really appreciated how carefully she followed all of our instructions—it was clear she was attentive and detail-oriented. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her!”
“Irina was awesome! She sent us detailed updates and was very responsive throughout our time away. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the pets in her care. We felt completely at ease knowing our pet was in such good hands!”
“I had a wonderful experience with Natalie. She was reliable, caring, and clearly loves animals. She kept me updated with messages and photos, followed all instructions carefully, and made sure our cat felt safe and comfortable while I was away. She went above and beyond to make sure my cat is doing well, vacuumed his litter, and made him entertained. She also left us a homemade treat for him.”
“Katrina is amazing! She dropped in on my cat this week, and I really appreciate how she is a great commincator and is very knowledgeable about pet care. She always goes above and beyond and it gives me a lot of peace of mind to know my cat is well cared for.”
“Vicki was awesome! She followed my feeding instructions. She was willing to extend my cat’s stay by one week after my hip replacement surgery and offered to help me by purchasing additional food beyond the supply I had provided (reimbursed by Venmo). She communicated with us regularly and sent photos that showed me how comfortable Ceci was at her house. A real win!”
“I highly recommend Yujia! She’s been taking care of my dog for the past 4 weeks and has been great. She feeds her, takes her to the park, and always sends me pictures and updates. My dog seems very happy and comfortable with her. I’m really glad I found her!”
About: Pets are humanizing. They remind us of our obligation and responsibility to preserve and care for all life - James Cromwell As a child I spent summers on a farm and have always been connected to nature & animals. My first pet was a chicken at 7yrs old and had cats my whole life, even throughout college! My first dog was a female Shelted Sheepdogs (sheltie) then we got her a brother a year later. What fun sweet memories and joy having them growing up. Humans can learn a lot from our pets, their unconditional love & playfulness. Caring for animals is a privilege. Similar to raising children (I have two teens) and requires lots of awareness, love, patience, attention to detail, and kindness. Safety is always priority number one I work an office job from 8a-5p during the week and am available for pet care after hours, early mornings, and on the weekends. If a client is near my office or home I’m able to visit sooner. I live in a nice neighborhood near a great park and walking trails. My home is safe, organized, clean with fenced yard and two pets (dog & cat) to keep your fur baby company. If your pet is crate-trained I can support that too.

About: I have been surrounded by animals since I was very young, including cats. Caring for cats has taught me to be patient, attentive, and understanding of their unique personalities and needs.

“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!”
About: I have two years of daily, hands-on experience caring for my own dog, Kylie. She is energetic but can be shy in unfamiliar situations, so I have learned to read a dog’s body language, give them time to adjust, and build trust without forcing interaction. In addition to caring for Kylie, I regularly help care for my friends’ dogs when they are away. This has given me experience following different feeding, walking, playtime, and bathroom routines and caring for dogs with different personalities and energy levels. I am patient, attentive, and careful about following each owner’s instructions. I will treat your dog with the same care I give my own and provide regular photo and message updates while you are away. I currently have a flexible schedule, so I am able to plan my day around pet care and provide consistent attention rather than rushing between visits. I am generally available on weekdays for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening care depending on the booking. I will confirm my availability before accepting each request and make sure I have enough time to follow your pet’s usual feeding, walking, playtime, and bathroom routine. I provide care in my client’s home, where pets can remain comfortable in their familiar environment. Before the booking, I prefer to have a meet and greet to learn about each pet’s personality, routine, care instructions, and any special needs. I carefully follow the owner’s directions for feeding, walks, playtime, and medication. I pay close attention when entering or leaving the home and always check that doors, windows, gates, leashes, and harnesses are secure. I will never let a pet off leash or introduce them to unfamiliar animals without the owner’s permission. I respect my client’s home, keep the pet’s space clean, and maintain their usual routine as closely as possible. I also provide regular photos and updates and will contact the owner promptly if I notice any unusual behavior or health concerns.
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.

About: I am a physically active recent retiree and capable dog lover who recently lost my beloved Wheaten Terrier after 11 great years with him, so I'm well able to care for your very active or senior dog that might have special dietary or physical needs. I'm recently retired and home every day, so I have lots of time to care for your pet. Drop-off and pick-up very flexible every day and evening. Although we have a securely fenced and paved back yard, it contains a swimming pool, so we kept our own pet indoors or on our fenced in, covered deck/patio which is also secure. We have a large dog crate which our dog slept in every night, but this is flexible depending on your own dog's sleeping preferences. I do not let pets sleep on my bed. We live on a very quiet street with no 'through' traffic, so it's easy to walk your dog regularly without risking encounters with other pets. Our own dog was not comfortable around other dogs and this was easy for us to manage.
About: As a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog. I treat every dog as if they were my own, with kindness, reliability, and plenty of love, so you can feel confident they’re safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m currently home full time, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m available throughout the day for walks, feedings, playtime, companionship, and potty breaks. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment in my single family house, which includes a fully fenced backyard for outdoor break and play time.
“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’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.
“It was my first time using Howard & Linda for day care, and it was an excellent experience. Howard and their dog Truman met us for the meet and greet before the scheduled stay, and the dogs got along, as Truman is very easy going. My dog is not friendly with large dogs and requires a special diet, as well as, a regular feeding and walking schedule. Howard accommodated all of my dog’s needs during his stays. Howard & Linda are very friendly and personable people, and I highly recommend them!”
“Marcel was well taken care of with Ivana! If you want a tired puppy this is definitely the place. Ivana was consistent with keeping me posted on how Marcel was doing throughout the day. Very accommodating with time frame as well! Definitely leaving a tip for that helped me out so much! Has spent repeated days with her and everytime was exhausted! Her dog was friendly with our puppy as well, helped with socializing him!”
“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 am an IT professional who is VERY passionate about animals 🫶🏻 I even decided to take them off my plate entirely 😅 Working with animals is my form of therapy and a way to exercise. I work from home and pretty much make my own schedule so I am very flexible 🤗 I grew up with dogs, cats and hamsters in the home, and I currently have a dog 🐕, 2 cats 🐈, and a hamster 🐹 I worked for a dog walking company in the past, so I have experience taking care of dogs of different sizes, from Tea Cup Poodles to Newfoundland Retrievers. I also did A Lot of volunteering at no-kill shelters when I was in school. During my Rover ‘career’ I got a chance to learn how to care for other animals: bunnies, parrots and mice😁 I have experience administering medications, including injections (subcutaneous and inter muscular only) PS I take a TON of photos for Rover cards and add notes to them😉 (see examples in my photo gallery) Have reliable transportation (SUV) to take your dog or cat places such as grooming salons, hospitals, parks, etc. Available during weekends and holidays (I’m a hermit😅) If your dog doesn’t mind company, I would bring my German Shepherd. I will, of course, ask you first 🙃 Sharing is caring so I usually bring a wide variety of treats😋 I normally don’t walk more than 3 dogs at a time so that your pets get more attention and love🥰 I shall treat your furry friends same way I treat my own pets and my fur balls are spoiled with love!!! Ultimately, I will strictly follow your instructions. The more details you provide the better care your furry companions gets🙂
About: I grew up with pets in the house. I love animals and would love to take care of yours. I have a GR named Flash I work from home 4 days a week. I can take them out for walks twice a day or more. Bathroom breaks is anytime cuz my big yard I have a large, flat, fenced yard, and an energetic, occasionally crazy golden retriever to keep your pup endlessly entertained. They sleep in separate crates
“Rosie was wonderful with Stella and listened to all our instructions about food, commands, and little quirks. Our fur baby was so excited to see us after and is now happily resting at home. I think she had a great time with her stay!”
About: My family and I simply love dogs. We have a small 12lb dog for almost 10 years. Before that we had a 10lb chihuahua for about 10 years. Both are rescue dogs. I work from home most of the time, and routine is 2 walks per day, one in the morning before 9am and one in the evening before 9pm. We have a fenced yard, so the dogs can be in and out freely when we are home. I can also add additional walks if needed around noon. I also have 2 teenagers who also love dogs. Sometimes they help out taking care them and playing with them. Our home is spacious, lots of places for them to chill and relax.

“Lindsey was great with our pup Louie! She was available to come over for a meet and greet and her and Louie took to each other quickly. She took Louie for nice long walks and let me know how everything went. Would highly recommend! Look forward to using Lindsey in the future for walks.”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and caring for them has always been second nature. I grew up with a dog and a duck, and have continuously lived in homes with cats and dogs through college and graduate school, so I’m very comfortable with their routines and behavior. I’ve also cared for pets for friends and family over the years, including feeding, walking, cleaning, and making sure they feel comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. I understand the importance of consistency, attention, and keeping pets on their normal schedule. I also have three tortoises of my own, including one I’ve had for nearly 23 years, which has made me especially attentive to routines, environment, and long-term care. I am currently volunteering at the Kitten Nursery with the Peninsula Humane Society, where I help taking care of kittens too young for adoption. I have a very flexible schedule through freelance consulting work, which allows me to be available for pet care most days of the week, including weekdays and weekends. I can accommodate a variety of schedules, whether it’s regular visits or last-minute needs. The only consistent commitment I have is volunteering on Monday afternoons at the Peninsula Humane Society, but outside of that, I’m highly flexible and able to adjust to your pet’s routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, litter box or cleanup routines, exercise, and any specific preferences your pet is used to. I take a calm and patient approach, especially with shy or more independent pets, and make sure they feel comfortable in their own space. I also keep the home clean and organized, and treat it with the same respect I would my own. I’m attentive to any changes in behavior or health and will communicate updates regularly so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.
“va did an amazing job caring for and walking my dog, Riley, while I was traveling. She was extremely professional, responsive, and reliable throughout the entire process, which gave me a great deal of peace of mind while away. The biggest sign of how wonderful she was is that Riley was incredibly happy, calm, and content when I returned home. It was clear he was very well cared for and comfortable with her. I truly appreciated the communication and attention she provided, and I would absolutely work with her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
About: My personal approach to dog care is grounded in genuine care for their well being. Working with my clients I provide prompt communication to ensure your dog is safe, happy, and healthy! Growing up my family had a beautiful 30lb dog that I helped care for from a puppy to old age. Being a part of this process has shown me how to support dogs in each stage of life from rambunctious puppies (structure, training and enrichment) to easing the aging process (special diet, new steps to climb onto the couch, shorter walks etc). Depending on the activity needs of your pup, I’m happy to provide daily walks or short runs (1-3 miles). I'm currently taking a gap year so I have plenty of time for your pups! I'm available weekdays and, with advance planning, can provide housesitting through weekends as well. I live in a single family home with three dogs. However, our family dogs like their space, and it is not available for dog boarding.
“Maya is a reliable and caring dog lover. She took great care in getting to know my shy dog and reassured me that my pet would be in good hands. I’ve gone ahead and booked her for much of May! Great experience.”
“Cheryll is awesome. She truly cares about the dogs she walks. She gave my pups a great walk and was very responsive and followed my instructions perfectly. I will definitely use her again as a dog walker, and would highly recommend her to any dog parents out there.”
“All I can say is that when you go on vacation and your a pet parent, the last thing you want is to worry about the well being of your dog. Well KATIE definitely gave me peace of mind and and allowed me to enjoy my vacation knowing that my dog Boris was in GREAT hands. After the meet and greet, I already had a sense of comfort because of her experience and super friendly demeanor. She also sent me pictures of Boris during walks and my family even told me that my dog can sense that she was close to come get him because he would start to act anxious and wait for her at the door. Knowing that truly solidifies her ability to love and care for your pet. If I ever need someone to walk/watch my dog(s) again, Katie will be my definite go to. THANK YOU KATIE! Oh...she also gave us a farewell dog toy and homemade chocolate chip cookies on her last day walking Boris. This is great customer service and definitely built a great rapport with my family and I.”
“Claudia is amazing, so generous and kind, wonderful with all our animals, very responsive and helpful, always going above and beyond. We feel so lucky to have found Claudia and will be working with her any chance we get.”
About: I have raised my almost 13 year old husky since he was a few months old, so I've handled both ends of the spectrum, from puppy training (potty training, crate training, puppy play time) to senior care as he approaches 13. Whether it's cleaning up messes or complex medication regiments, I'm comfortable and confident with pets of all sizes at any stage and I'd love to bring that same care to your dog. I'm self-employed and work from home full time, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the day. My husky and I go on multiple walks a day as part of our normal routine, and I have plenty of time and energy to share with more furry friends. I genuinely love spending time with dogs, whether that's a quick drop-in visit, playtime in the backyard, a walk around the neighborhood, or a trip to the park. I'm attentive to each dog's comfort level and adjust activities to what they enjoy most, so every visit feels safe and fun for them.
About: I have my own dog, Kaeda who recently turned 7! My family & I adopted her when she was just months old, so I have experience with young puppies as well! I’ve also taken care of my friends and family’s dogs & have recent experience in house sitting cats. I loved all my experiences so much, I want to give back and offer it to my community as well! :) I currently work part-time Mon, Tues, Fri from 10-7 so those days would be a little different. I’d wake up at 8am to carry out my morning routine with my dog on the days I work. After work, I like to go out for walks with my own dog and play with her & her toys before ending my day. My off days would follow a similar schedule but with a lesser gap in the middle of the day which I would spend with my dog :) Depending on what a specific pet’s needs are, I can cater to being more or less active with them. Generally, I like keep my pet active throughout the day by going on walks / playing with toys / sunbathing and I give them space if needed. I also value cleanliness by always wiping my dog down before and after going outside or providing baths when needed.
“Winnie was exceptional in caring for my complicated chihuahuas and shy cat while I was away. Her thoughtfulness and dedication provided them with the companionship they craved, going far beyond what was expected. My pets were happy and well-cared for, and I’m incredibly grateful for her outstanding help. Highly recommend!”
About: “I have been the proud owner of my three dogs for almost 10 years, and I truly love them. I have always been caring and responsible, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I love spending time with pets, giving them attention, affection, and proper care. Dogs are my passion, and with me, they will always be safe, happy, and well taken care of.” I have a flexible schedule and I am always open to coordinate according to each family’s needs. I will care for your dogs and cats with love and dedication. I can take care of your dogs and cats at your home and also walk them. I will always do it with responsibility and lots of love.
About: I've cared for my own 2 cats since 2018 when they were kittens. Now an expert in convincing and bribing cats to love me (while sometimes shoving meds down their throat). An excellent poop scooper! I work from home in Burlingame (Hanover Burlingame, if you are a neighbor, hi!). Weekdays are wide open for me to care for your pet child. Check calendar or with me for weekend availabilities :D For drop-in visits, I first take off my shoes (always!). I strive to keep your home, your child's food & litter setup as mess free as possible
“Allison has been such an amazing "friend" to our dog, Kona. We can tell how much Kona is loved and cared for while we are away at work and school. We get regular updates on how Kona is doing, including pictures! Would definitely recommend Allison for your dog's needs!”
About: I am a dog lover who wishes I had a fur baby of my own. Until it’s the right time, I resort to loving and taking care of other dog lover’s pets. I would love to give your dog lots of love, pats, and exercise — just as I would my own. I am a student and study a lot in my house so would love to have a dog friend to take much needed breaks with (and earn some additional income!). I would love to meet your fur baby, become their new friend, and see how I can best serve their needs. You can trust that your best friend is safe in my hands as I’m a very conscientious and cautious person. Thank you.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, play and feed their furry friends. I also love cats and have experience playing and feeding them as well. I’m currently unemployed and looking for a job. Meanwhile, I will have plenty of time to help you with your furry friend! Week and weekends. I love to see them happy! I usually play with them and/or take them for a nice walk and help with feeding as well, making sure they have enough water and food.

“I came to Thiago from Leticia! It was kind of a last minute booking and Thiago was quick to reply. Tito had a blast, and I could see it from the pictures sent :) Will definitely book again when possible.”
“Catherine and her husband are so sweet and communicative! We received daily updates on Gale’s behavior and lots of cute pics! They spoiled our dog with two walks a day (I normally only give her one!) and have a fenced in yard for play. I could tell that they really cherished having our dog’s company instead of just dogsitting for the additional income. Their heart is in it for sure!”
“Sandra and Jose were excellent with my two girls - Ellie and Lucy. They were patient, kind, and attentive with them and they sent many updates regarding how they were getting along and settling in. I highly recommend them and I will definitely be using them again for future stays.”
“You won’t find better dog care than Katie and Jason! Attentive, caring and loving- they went above and beyond with walks, playtime and snuggles. Benji had a wonderful time staycationing with them! Super great communication before and during stay, too! Our pooches will be back. Can’t recommend more highly. 🩷”
“Leeeun took care of our Teddy for 15 days while we were on an extended vacation. She sent numerous photos and correspondence. I did not worry at all while Teddy was in her care. She treated him like a member of her family and I know Teddy enjoyed every minute. Do not hesitate to choose her to take care of your pup!”
“Kaitlyn was so wonderful with our two pups! She sent lots of pictures and videos, gave us wonderful summaries of how the dogs were doing, and took them out on all kinds of walks and adventures. Kaitlyn also gets a big gold star for alerting us that one of our dogs seemed to have blood in her urine, and she very kindly offered to take her in to the vet. We happened to have family still in town who were able to make the vet visit, but Kaitlyn was awesome about keeping in communication throughout, managing the handoff, and administering the meds afterwards. We would love to have our dogs stay with her again.”
“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.”
“Aimee looked after our Cavapoo, Alfie, over the holidays. She was very welcoming, communicative and ensured Alfie would be looked after! I would highly recommend Aimee to anyone looking for someone to look after their pup. Thanks Aimee!”
“Kiara and her family took great care of our 8 year old labradoodle for little over a week. Our puppy has some medical needs and we were very comfortable that he was well taken care of. Thank you Kiara”
“Allison and her family deserve 6 out of 5 stars. I can't begin to speak highly enough of them. I have two extremely high energy dogs (Jack Russell and German Shepherd), both of whom also have severe separation anxiety. I was very nervous to leave them, but Allison took exceptional care of them. Allison took them on 5+ mile walks all 3 days, and she played with them in her big backyard when they weren't walking. I received constant updates and 82 pictures of their daily activities. When I picked the dogs up, they were happy and tired. She even sent the dogs home with a new toy that they had enjoyed at her house. I absolutely plan on being a repeat customer.”
“Jennifer took care of my dog like one of her one. She constantly gave me periodic updates and was flexible with the pick up time when my flight got delayed. I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Long overdue. Mila (my energetic 1.5yr old) spent a nice long weekend with Kristin and Alvin during Halloween weekend. I actually contacted her at another time but our scheduling didn't work out but with her great reviews I wanted to try again! Kristin was very responsive each time and communication throughout Mila's stay was great as well. We had a meet-n-greet once and Mila and Alvin played so well together we both knew they were a good fit. It was a rainy weekend so they spent a lot of time indoors (Mila doesn't like rainy walks lol). But Kristin sent me lots of pictures of them playing, when I picked Mila up on her last day she had the biggest smile walking with Kristin! Kristin even taught her to pull less on the leash as well. As soon as we got home she passed out and was tired from all the playing for two full days!! I'll definitely have Mila play with Kristin and Alvin during my next vacation!”
“My dogs stayed with Anna for three weeks while I recover from surgery. She was so patient with my two dogs and gave them lots of affection and loving care. Not only she sent me lots photos and texts communication, she let me visit them at her home. I’m so grateful for Anna, so I can heal properly and peacefully during these three weeks.”
“Communicative and I really enjoyed seeing pictures of our pup during her stay! Stella I'm sure enjoyed all the play time and walks~ Thank you! Would love for her to stay again!”
“Zhengting and her husband are amazing caretakers. We had excellent communication during my pup’s entire stay with constant updates. Lucy got lots of walks and playtime. Would definitely recommend and book with Zhengting again!”
“Francesca kept incredible care of my French Bulldog for 4 days. I had flight complications and she was incredibly flexible putting me at ease. She provided great updates. Highly recommend.”
“She was fantastic with our large Bernese Mountain dog! Very kind, and made sure to give Maisie plenty of walks & loving care - and sent us pics too. She was also very patient with my slightly anxious pup who takes a little time to get to know new people. Would definitely use her again!”
