“Lauren and her husband were amazing! My husband and I boarded our 7 month old puppy, Cruz, while we were on a 10 day vacation. We were nervous to be away from him for such a long time. Our nerves were quickly relieved when we started receiving photos and videos of Cruz. We received a photo or video of Cruz everyday having so much fun with the other dogs! Cruz had a blast and loved being with Lauren and her husband. We have already booked Cruz’s next stay with Lauren :)”
“We’ve used Angela twice now to watch Winnie, and she’s been great every time. She’s reliable, flexible, and communicative, but most importantly, she is so kind to Winnie. The extra outings and adventures she takes her on are such a nice touch. Highly recommended!”
“Brandi is amazing! Knox loved staying with her and her family. She communicated regularly and provided a lot of fun photos of my dog having an absolute blast with her dog and family while I was traveling which allowed me to enjoy my vacation even more! You can tell Brandi absolutely loves dogs and treats them like royalty while they stay with her. Highly recommend. A++++”
“My dog, Lily, had a wonderful overnight stay with Kyle and family. She seemed at ease and well cared for. Kyle was very responsive and willing to accommodate any of my requests to help Lily feel at home. Look forward to calling upon Kyle again!”
“My dog and her dog Lou got along great. When we did our meet and greet I could see how she was spot on with how they would get along. It was great getting videos and feed back throughout her stay. She knew exactly what I was worried about and knew to let me know how things were going. We have two more stays booked and feel at ease knowing that I don't have to worry.”
About: I have taken care of dogs most of my life, whether it's my own pet or pet sitting for neighbors. I have two dogs myself. Bosa who is a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and our big little rescue Kittle who is a Great Pyrenees. I have been blessed to have so many amazing people, and of course dogs, that I can now make dog walking/sitting my full time job. I am a trustworthy hard worker who follows instructions to the letter. I am physically active and can keep up with the most excitable of dogs.
“Bernadette was very flexible when I needed to change my drop off time. She has a lovely shady yard and beautifully calm home. My DAISEY really enjoyed her stay there. I highly recommend Bernadette. Her two little doggies were great playmates.”
“Caren was great! My dog seemed very happy there and she seemed to take great care of her. Her house is in a nice neighborhood and my dog’s age got a lot of good walks and visits to the dog park, etc. Would definitely recommend Caren!”
“We’re so happy to have found Crystal! Her home is beautiful and she has her backyard set up perfectly for dogs. She loves dogs and knows what she’s doing; her adorable Rosie dog is also an excellent hostess 😊. I had no reservations leaving our crazy pup, Abby, with her overnight. Crystal sent pictures that clearly showed Abby having a great time and not missing us one bit, exactly what you want as a dog parent.”
“My dog Beau had a great time staying with Jill. She is very warm and loving and took great care of my beloved fur baby. I loved receiving photos during his stay and they have a super safe setup. I could tell Beau was super happy being there which means a lot when you’re away. Would definitely book again!”
About: I am a devoted animal person. I have had dogs and cats my whole life, and am experienced with puppies as well as senior dogs. I currently work remotely and have a flexible schedule. I am available for dog walking weekdays and some weekends. Open to special requests and needs. My home has a large doggie door which opens to large fenced in yard. Dogs come in and out as they please. Lots of play toys and special attention.
About: I will spoil your dog with attention and provide you with complete peace of mind. You can rest assured that your dog is safe and happy and getting the care you specify (such as health needs or special diet) and the love your dog wants (games, walks, toys, treats, hugs, and other canine amusements). My work is part-time, online, and at my own pace, so I can easily shift my attention to your dog's needs for walks and playtime. I have a small fenced yard with artificial grass, and there is a large park at the end of the street, two or three small parks in the neighborhood, and a 2-mile trail to downtown. I have whatever a dog needs but ideally, pets should arrive with their own favorite "furniture," toys, and treats.
“Earl was great to work with! He is easy going and great with animals. He was flexible with drop off and pick up times. I would definitely recommend this provider and we will surely be using him again in the future.”
About: I’ve been taking care of my families puppy and my own kitten for about 2 years now ! Ive taken care of other peoples dogs in the past as well! I’m efficient and competent. Im currently a college student, so I spend most of my time at home and just in general I’m a home body. So, I have enough time to care and tend to pets and their needs. I’m very attentive to my own cat and families dog. They both have feeding schedules and are potty trained. I’ve taken my time to make them good pets. I’ve showed the same amount of attention and affection to other peoples pets as well.
“Ana and her husband work from home, so they are able to be with your pet 24/7. My 12 year old cockapoo, Mazie, had never stayed overnight anywhere. We were gone for 5 nights! Ana made me feel at peace leaving my pet with her and I never felt worried. She sent photos so I could see that all was well. I don’t think Mazie ever missed me. I highly recommend Ana!!”
“Leslie is a wonderful person who took great care of our two dachsunds. She is also an amazing chef - We will definitely work with her again soon and highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Shelia took such great care of Leif with a last minute booking. She sent photos so I knew he was happy and cozy. She even took time to brush him and play with toys, and recommended senior supplements she used for her dogs. Looking forward to boarding with her again in the next couple weeks!”
“Debbie was fantastic, just the perfect person to watch our Labrador while we were away. She was incredibly communicative and open, she treated our dog like a member of her family and was beyond helpful in taking stress off our shoulders while we were gone and unable to take our dog. We will definitely use her again and strongly recommend to anyone who wants their dog to be in the sweetest, caring hands.”
“This was our first time using Heather and Calob as a dog sitter and they did a great job! They were very communicative throughout, and my dog seemed happy and well cared for when I got home. Would definitely book again.”

“Melissa was a very experienced, long-term pet lover and had a special fondness for cats. We could really tell because of the bond between Melissa and her family Spirit in the pictures. Spirit was spoiled with her favorite toys while we were away and I think we a new friend in our neighborhood to take care of our very active cat. Mary, David and Noah”
“Jamie was amazing! She watched my two cats for several days, and sent me great updates and photos. She was really responsive to messages and made me feel so comfortable leaving my fur babies in her care! Definitely recommend!”
“LoLo was great! My kitty was very well taken care of and given lots of love. I appreciated and enjoyed all the updates and pictures that she sent. Will definitely try to rebook with her again. 😊”
“Chantel did a terrific job caring for my cats for a month. She is professional, quick to respond, and went above and beyond trying to solve a (non-pet related) house problem that came up while I was away. She’ll be my first choice for next time!”
“Micki is a wonderful pet sitter. She is very reliable and communicative & sends lots of photos & videos. She clearly loves her job & will go above & beyond to make sure your pet is happy & well cared for. My cat Keebler insists I request her for future pet sits.”
About: I love all animals! I have experience with dogs, cats, cows, reptiles (mainly snakes), chickens, ducks, rodents (rats, mice, hamster), rabbits, sheep, goats, birds, etc! I love connecting with each animal in their unique ways, I truly believe we have a lot to learn from these compassionate beings. It's my pleasure to make them feel safe, loved, well fed and fully exercised! I don't have a lot of experience with very old animals but I'm willing to learn what their specific and special needs are. I have had older dogs in my life so I do have a basic grasp on their needs but everyone is unique! I mostly work remote from home with the occasional pop into the warehouse once or twice a week. My schedule can be pretty flexible for the most part! I'll gladly learn the typical schedule you have with your pet so that they feel their care is secure and stable. Time of feeding, length of walk, treats, etc. Just let me know and I'll do my best to make you both feel considered and cared for. I'm not currently doing doggy day care or boarding. Eventually I will offer that service again! I might be open to it on a case by case basis.
About: I have been around animals all my life, particularly big dogs. My family has always had big dogs (Bernese Mountain dogs and labradors), but I share the love with all sizes! Helping train our family dogs has also given me confidence not only in handling animals, but also the knowledge to ensure safe engagement with them and others. No animal is "problematic" they all just require (and deserve) specific attention and patience. I personally enjoy the company of animals, so it's a win-win if I get to hang out with your pet! I'm an active person and like to invite my furry friends along for fun too. I'll run with them to get out their zoomies, play fetch for hours, or go on nice long strolls along the neighborhood. I enjoy getting outside as much as the dog does, so this is a mutually beneficial experience! I work from home, typically schedule my own meetings, and have a flexible schedule! I enjoy getting out of my house to go on walks of my own, so its even better to have some furry company! I understand that life happens and sometimes we need extra support, even last minute. So I'm here to help out with all the things life throw our way. When interacting and engaging with animals, especially new ones, patience and slowness are my virtues. I understand animals and that you're doing your best for them. Whether they just need some love while you're away, or you want me to reinforce training that you're working on, I take your needs very seriously.
About: What sets me apart is my high energy, adaptability, and genuine attentiveness to each pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s an energetic kitten, a shy senior cat, or a playful pup, I adjust my care style to match their personality and routine. I’m not just here to feed and walk I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I take pride in creating a calm and fun environment, giving you peace of mind and your pet a new best friend. As a student with an open and flexible schedule, I’m able to easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I have the time and availability to provide consistent, reliable care throughout the week. I make sure pets feel comfortable and safe, whether they're in my home or theirs. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible—feeding schedules, walk times, play, and any special instructions. I'm attentive to their behavior and needs, and I always keep the space clean, calm, and pet-friendly. My goal is to create a low-stress, positive environment while you're away.
“Amanda definitely has a way with animals; she can even win the heart of our younger cat who tends to be more shy. She is an awesome communicator and provides timely updates and lots of photos, which make us feel comfortable when we are away.”
About: I grew up with all sorts of animals and have always loved spending time with them. Your pets will get loads of attention from me, as I take full advantage of my time with them. You get your money's worth with me! I have helped potty train, helped teach tricks, have extensive experience pet sitting for animals with various needs and abilities, have experience sitting for elder pets and pets who need medication, and I am dedicated to catering my care to fit with your pet's personality making our time together fun and engaging. I take a positive reinforcement approach to dog training and build trust with the pets I watch. I spend a lot of time outside exploring new locations each day and our time together often ends with your pet exhausted. I have done loads of house sitting and have wonderful references. If needed I can even watch your other pets, too. I am getting my master's degree right now allowing me to take your dog out on frequent walks. When sitting for dogs that are well behaved I tend to bring them with me everywhere I can, keeping them active and engaged. Taking care of your animals is my way of getting time with them during a time in my life when I cannot have them. I love all animals and promise to care for them with all the love I would impart to my own animals. I make sure to treat your house as if it were my own. This means keeping things clean and making sure that nothing is destroyed. If something does get broken (which is uncommon) you will always know and if it was my fault I will, of course, replace it. It is not uncommon for people to ask for me to bring in their mail, water their plants, etc. and I am happy to help how I can.
About: I’ve had cats my entire life and understand them well. My sweet kitty just passed away at 20 years old and I’d love to help take care of yours. I frequently travel for work for weeks on end, but when I am home and able to cat-sit, my schedule can be completely flexible. Day / night. Since I only offer cat-sitting, I doubt that this section about my own house will matter much. Cats don’t like to be relocated for temporary purposes.
“Michael was fantastic. He gave us regular updates and went above and beyond with providing care to our cats. We would love to work with him again in the future.”

About: Walks through Armstrong Redwoods are a favorite activity. I have a large yard and a dog friendly house. I have a couple of years experience working in a veterinary clinic giving me experience medicating animals, including giving injections. I have a pool for dogs who love to swim! I was a volunteer and puppy raiser for Canine Companions for Independence back in the mid to late 1980's, and a Puppy Petter for Assistance Dog Institute in the early 2000's. I've also kept busy with boarding in my home for friends and acquaintances. I love dogs!! I have Sundays and Mondays off from my full time job, but I can fit in a nice walk after 4 pm most other days. When I have someone's dog, they get my full attention; we play, exercise, snuggle. My focus is providing an enriching experience for your dog .
“Jeanne’s wonderful! She’s so lovely, calm, friendly, and warm. Jeanne’s home and garden are a paradise oasis of fun for humans and animals alike. Our dog loved her dogs, and they romped and played together. Jeanne also treated our pup to a walk through her beautiful, peaceful, safe neighborhood. We look forward to bringing our dog to visit Jeanne anytime.”
“Bernadette was wonderful with my rescue puppy Isabel!! It was her first time being left with someone, and I felt calm and confident knowing she was in Bernadette’s care. Bernadette clearly knows so much about animals and was very kind, understanding, and knowledgeable about Isabel’s communication and needs. I highly recommend Bernadette!!”
“Merri slept all the way back to Sacramento! She clearly had fun spending time with Veronica. I am thankful for the pictures and videos throughout the day as I felt well informed during this first visit. I would certainly recommend Veronica’s services.”
“Angelina is absolutely wonderful as a person and dog sitter. Our Border Collie is very active and Angelina played fetch with Roy, fed him , walked him and took him to the beach for a swim. She is a very happy and fun woman. We will hire her again and again!!!”
“Holly was amazing! Very communicative. Asked all the questions someone who genuinely cares about your pets comfort and well being. Our little guy struggles with being left and she handled it like an absolute pro. 10/10!!!”

“Crystal is wonderful. She has a great setup at her house, and is an excellent communicator. My dog can be very anxious, but she is clearly comfortable staying with Crystal. Thanks!”
About: I love animals. I’m compassionate, caring, dependable, honest and sincere. I’ve been around dogs all of my life. I’m a mom of two boys, a caregiver and I also have two dogs of my own. Before starting a family, I volunteered at local animal shelters and worked at the Marin Humane Society for almost a year as an animal care technician. Also, my older son is studying to become a vet tech and has a lot of personal experience with dogs and cats himself.I believe that pets are an integral part of the family and should be treated as such. You can count on me to provide the best service for your pet. Have a “ pawsitively” wonderful day! I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I work as a direct support professional for a group home for disabled women in Windsor. I have a split shift schedule, and have Fridays and Sundays off. It’s only about a ten minute commute to work across town. I also volunteer at an animal sanctuary once a week. I have extensive experience with animals. I have a fenced yard and a one level home. I no longer have two small dogs of my own, a Jack Russel/chihuahua mix and a shitzu/maltese/bichon mix +, one passed away in October and the other in January of this year from old age. I treat each pet I care for as if they were my own. With love , compassion, patience and attention to detail and safety.
About: I have co existed with dogs my entire life, and began dog walking and dog sitting regularly nearly 10 years ago. I also have spent numerous years working for a local dog boarding facility. I currently work remotely which gives me free time to hang with your dog at the 10 acre ranch I live on. I prefer to dog sit in my own space but can be flexible if the timing is right. I am most interested in doggy daycare dog and house sitting as a side hobby. *while housesitting dogs & owners must be comfortable that I bring my own dog with me. he is a well socialized friendly 8 yr old cattle dog. I work remotely Sunday though Wednesday 3pm to 11pm. This schedule alows me to be flexible with dog sitting and doggy daycare during the week. I am available outside those hours for dog walking. I provide safe, loving care on my fenced ranch for boarding or in clients’ homes, offering exercise, attention, and a stress-free environment for every pet
“Brandi and Jason were awesome with first-timer Shadow. He was a little nervous at first, but they made him feel safe and comfortable and he settled in quickly. Brandi sent us photos throughout the day and it was obvious Shadow was enjoying himself. He’s going back there again soon and will have an extended stay later this summer.”
“Lauren and her husband took great care of our girl while we were out for the day. Communication was great as were the photos! She came home happy and tired which is exactly what we were looking for. We will definitely use them again in the future!”
“Deborah is great! My pups were in good hands and she really enjoyed them. They had smiles on their faces and wagging tails when I got there to pick them up. I cannot recommend her more. Definitely would do repeat business with her again.”
“Darina & Blake helped me with last minute doggy day care for my special rescue dog who currently has separation anxiety. They work from home which is puuurfect for pets who can't be left alone. Their wonderful home seems to be a good place for dogs, surrounded by natural forest beauty for sniff walks. I recommend them to help you and your fur babies!”
“Sarah took great care of our dog Rio. He seemed so happy after his day with her. She took him on multiple walks and sent tons of photos. Thanks so much for taking such good care of him!”
About: I love all animals, especially dogs. I'm a very active person so walking a lot is no issue for me. I enjoy hiking with dogs. I’ve worked in many dog shelters taking care of dogs of all different ages. I have also been a dog walker/sitter with rover and wag for about 6 years now. With me your puppers are in good hands :) I am working on a farm from 8-4 M-Th so weekends are more ideal. I like to take pups out first thing in the morning for a little stroll and on weekends I usually spend more time relaxing at home. I’m always checking in on them and giving them love whether that looks like playing with them or giving them a cuddle. I also check the water bowl multiple times a day to make sure they are hydrated. I try to have regular feeding times as well.
“Kyle and his wife did a great job watching my 2 small dogs all day long for 2 days. They made sure all their needs were met and updated me throughout the day with pictures. Thank you, guys!”

“Jamie is really great! A dog whisperer. Our reactive dog warms up to her right away. She was able to hold his leash and pet him on first meeting. Awesome! Our dog will definitely continue having walks with her. She’s going to be his new walking person for sure.”

“Sophia has done a great job walking my dog so far! She asked lots of questions at our initial meeting, which showed how committed she was to taking good care of him. She has accommodated our requested schedule even when it's a tight fit for her.”
“We’re so sad to see Ashley go—she’s been an incredible dog walker and a big part of Mila’s life in just a short time. Our German Shepherd absolutely adored her, and it’s easy to see why. Ashley was attentive, dependable, and completely drama-free. She always showed up, took such great care of Mila, and made everything feel effortless. We’re going to miss her so much, and we wish her nothing but the best in her next chapter!”
About: I began my seriously joyous devotion to animals at the age of 11, as an SF ZOO volunteer in the barnyard, where I learned to care for a variety of animals, from miniature horses to coyotes to parrots, and more. I have continued to attract rescuing wayward beasts of all kinds, providing them with excellent love and care. I am a natural nurturer, the animals feel at home with me wherever we are. I have worked as a cat, dog and multi-pet sitter for many years, up until now, only through personal referrals. I am a kundalini yoga teacher, craniosacral and polarity therapist. My son is grown and I have a very flexible schedule. I love to get out with the dogs for long walks and if they don’t mind the car, we might get to the beach. I love nature, the outdoors and finding out how best to care for your animal so that they don’t miss you too much. I absolutely appreciate forming long term client relationships so that you and your animals can relax and have fun. I am self-employed and can accommodate your needs. When I am hired for a pet-sit, this is my focus and priority. I can schedule all my other work around it. I have a lovely minimalist home for your pet, a small garden and plenty of leashed walking in the woods space for regular exercise. If a dog is ok with car rides, I’m happy to take them to the beach.

About: I am a fish biologist, but love all animals. I am new to Rover, but my friends and coworkers regularly rely on me to care for their pets. I have cared for dogs with special needs, such as epilepsy, senior dogs and puppies. I have done basic dog training courses with my 30 lb tripod dog and volunteered walking dogs at my local shelter. I will treat your furry family member with love and care! I work remotely from 8-4:30 pm most weekdays, so I’m available to provide attention and fun for your pet most of the day. I usually go to the office on Mondays and Thursdays, but I may be able to accommodate if your pet cannot be alone for 8 hours. I am an active person and would love to take your dog to the park or beach or for walks on trails, if they do well in those settings. If your dog is lower energy, I can match that energy too! I am excellent at following directions and will follow your pets normal schedule. I am observant and will pay attention to your pet’s well-being. You can expect clear and consistent communication if you trust me with your furry family member. I am happy to take your dog for multiple walks a day and accommodate special food or medication schedules. I am a respectful, clean, non-smoker, in my 30s. I work from home on weekdays, so would just require internet access.
About: Animals have always been a significant part of my life, offering a journey of continuous learning and growth. My experience spans nearly a decade in the veterinary field, where I gained invaluable expertise in caring for sick and injured pets, as well as horses, cows, goats, sheep, donkeys, and pigs. This diverse background has enriched my understanding and approach to animal care. The greatest source of joy and personal development has been my American Staffordshire mix, Kai. His unique needs led me to explore behavioral modification programs, culminating in my apprenticeship with a lead trainer. I was honored to lead off-leash pack walks for groups of 6-8 dogs, many with ongoing behavioral challenges. For 10 years, I owned and operated a dog boarding, day care, walking, and training company. This experience allowed me to provide comprehensive care and training services to a wide variety of dogs, further honing my skills and passion for animal care. Additionally, I have enjoyed pet sitting and boarding for family, friends, and neighbors over the years. Kai and I are active adventurers, frequently exploring the mountains, coast, and open road. I specialize in caring for sick pets and administering medications and treatments, and I am excited to now offer my skills in animal communication. Rover is my full time job and I dedicate myself fully to pets in my care. I care for them like they are my own. Being an animal communicator helps with this aspect in that I can ask them what they need or what’s bothering them. I have a huge variety of experiences to pull from and will ensure that your pet is cared for as if you were still home. I appreciate keeping close communication with owners/guardians especially when a pet is new to me.
“We had our first drop in and walking visit with Michelle and nothing but high praise and tail wags for her services. She a wonderful communicator and clearly in great command in being able to entertain and walk our two our two fur babies. 2 dogs, higher costs- but piece of mind in knowing that an experienced caring person will be here. We look forward to seeing her again for walks, drops in and some future planned over night house visits. Eileen F”
About: I’ve taken care of all types of dogs for 30 years. I have two Pittbull mixes , one boxer Pitt and one Pitt bulldog. The Pitt Bull Dog has intervertebral disk disease and used my training in occupational therapy and massage and did physical therapy with him myself so he could use his back legs again, after being paralyzed and needing a wheelchair. He’s now able to walk without his wheelchair. I’ve also taken pittbull training classes with them and am knowledgeable about training cues. I currently work as a distribution sales executive, and work from home, so have free time in the afternoons and weekends. I have a baby and two dogs of my own and would still be able to take some time to visit other dogs in my area. I can check on pets during the day or while clients are on vacation . I can take them on walks, let them out in the yard, play fetch , feed them , snuggle them, and even give medicine.

Many friends and clients trust me to care for their pets while they’re away, and I also offer house-sitting services, including plant care, mail collection, and general home upkeep. If boarding is needed, my cozy home in Forestville features a fenced yard, ideal for small to medium-sized dogs. I live close to a park that’s perfect for daily walks and outdoor play.

My availability includes mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends, giving me plenty of time to tailor my care to your pets’ routines. Let me know what works best for you and your furry friends! I prioritize safety and trust by closely following each pet parent's care instructions and maintaining a calm, secure environment. In clients' homes, I treat the space respectfully and ensure doors, windows, and surroundings are safe for your cat, dog, or other pets. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience, giving both pets and owners peace of mind. I make sure to follow instructions and feed them on time according to your schedule. I also often take dogs on walks and potty brakes and play fetch with them if they like that as well.
“Thank you for taking such great care of Riley! She's not used to being walked by strangers but she was a happy dog when I got home and sure looked happy in her photos from the park! I will definitely rebook the next time I need a someone to walk her!”
“Kyle watched over my Labrador with a recent toe injury AND during a blistering 115 degree heat wave. While thousands of miles away I never worried with Kyle. He is incredibly dependable, easy going and flexible. You can’t go wrong with Kyle caring for your best friend.”
About: I was a vet tech for many years and have taken care of friends dogs for as long as I can remember.And I have always had both dogs and cats. I live and respect all animals. Time spent with an animal is never wasted time. I am retired and have a flexible schedule- and can accommodate most requests. Rover would take priority over most other activities. I love spending time with animals! I have a large fenced yard and access to indoors. I now have a sweet 10 yr old dog, a cat and an adorable foster kitten .
About: I love all animals, especially dogs. I'm a very active person so walking a lot is no issue for me. I enjoy hiking with dogs. I’ve worked in many dog shelters taking care of dogs of all different ages. I have also been a dog walker/sitter with rover and wag for about 6 years now. With me your puppers are in good hands :) I am working on a farm from 8-4 M-Th so weekends are more ideal. I like to take pups out first thing in the morning for a little stroll and on weekends I usually spend more time relaxing at home. I’m always checking in on them and giving them love whether that looks like playing with them or giving them a cuddle. I also check the water bowl multiple times a day to make sure they are hydrated. I try to have regular feeding times as well.

“Lauren and her husband were amazing! My husband and I boarded our 7 month old puppy, Cruz, while we were on a 10 day vacation. We were nervous to be away from him for such a long time. Our nerves were quickly relieved when we started receiving photos and videos of Cruz. We received a photo or video of Cruz everyday having so much fun with the other dogs! Cruz had a blast and loved being with Lauren and her husband. We have already booked Cruz’s next stay with Lauren :)”
“We’ve used Angela twice now to watch Winnie, and she’s been great every time. She’s reliable, flexible, and communicative, but most importantly, she is so kind to Winnie. The extra outings and adventures she takes her on are such a nice touch. Highly recommended!”
“Brandi is amazing! Knox loved staying with her and her family. She communicated regularly and provided a lot of fun photos of my dog having an absolute blast with her dog and family while I was traveling which allowed me to enjoy my vacation even more! You can tell Brandi absolutely loves dogs and treats them like royalty while they stay with her. Highly recommend. A++++”
“My dog and her dog Lou got along great. When we did our meet and greet I could see how she was spot on with how they would get along. It was great getting videos and feed back throughout her stay. She knew exactly what I was worried about and knew to let me know how things were going. We have two more stays booked and feel at ease knowing that I don't have to worry.”
“Caren was great! My dog seemed very happy there and she seemed to take great care of her. Her house is in a nice neighborhood and my dog’s age got a lot of good walks and visits to the dog park, etc. Would definitely recommend Caren!”
“We’re so happy to have found Crystal! Her home is beautiful and she has her backyard set up perfectly for dogs. She loves dogs and knows what she’s doing; her adorable Rosie dog is also an excellent hostess 😊. I had no reservations leaving our crazy pup, Abby, with her overnight. Crystal sent pictures that clearly showed Abby having a great time and not missing us one bit, exactly what you want as a dog parent.”
“My dog Beau had a great time staying with Jill. She is very warm and loving and took great care of my beloved fur baby. I loved receiving photos during his stay and they have a super safe setup. I could tell Beau was super happy being there which means a lot when you’re away. Would definitely book again!”
About: I am a devoted animal person. I have had dogs and cats my whole life, and am experienced with puppies as well as senior dogs. I currently work remotely and have a flexible schedule. I am available for dog walking weekdays and some weekends. Open to special requests and needs. My home has a large doggie door which opens to large fenced in yard. Dogs come in and out as they please. Lots of play toys and special attention.
About: I will spoil your dog with attention and provide you with complete peace of mind. You can rest assured that your dog is safe and happy and getting the care you specify (such as health needs or special diet) and the love your dog wants (games, walks, toys, treats, hugs, and other canine amusements). My work is part-time, online, and at my own pace, so I can easily shift my attention to your dog's needs for walks and playtime. I have a small fenced yard with artificial grass, and there is a large park at the end of the street, two or three small parks in the neighborhood, and a 2-mile trail to downtown. I have whatever a dog needs but ideally, pets should arrive with their own favorite "furniture," toys, and treats.
“Earl was great to work with! He is easy going and great with animals. He was flexible with drop off and pick up times. I would definitely recommend this provider and we will surely be using him again in the future.”
About: I’ve been taking care of my families puppy and my own kitten for about 2 years now ! Ive taken care of other peoples dogs in the past as well! I’m efficient and competent. Im currently a college student, so I spend most of my time at home and just in general I’m a home body. So, I have enough time to care and tend to pets and their needs. I’m very attentive to my own cat and families dog. They both have feeding schedules and are potty trained. I’ve taken my time to make them good pets. I’ve showed the same amount of attention and affection to other peoples pets as well.
“Shelia took such great care of Leif with a last minute booking. She sent photos so I knew he was happy and cozy. She even took time to brush him and play with toys, and recommended senior supplements she used for her dogs. Looking forward to boarding with her again in the next couple weeks!”
“Debbie was fantastic, just the perfect person to watch our Labrador while we were away. She was incredibly communicative and open, she treated our dog like a member of her family and was beyond helpful in taking stress off our shoulders while we were gone and unable to take our dog. We will definitely use her again and strongly recommend to anyone who wants their dog to be in the sweetest, caring hands.”
“Couldn’t be happier with our experience with Marina. She was very kind and accommodating. She took great care of Finn and took him for walks. It was so nice to get pictures and videos. It was easy to communicate.”
“Melissa was so thoughtful and kind to both Daisy and I. It was our first time leaving Daisy since we adopted her. Melissa took the time to let us visit her home for a meet-and -greet and sniffs of her property a few days before Daisy’s stay. Melissa was so thoughtful and attentive to Daisy’s needs. I have no doubt that Daisy is in good hands with Melissa .”
“Had a really good experience with Patricia while we were in out of town. She was reliable, easy to communicate with, and took great care of Bo while we were away. We appreciated the updates and knowing she was being looked after. It made traveling a lot less stressful, and we came home to a happy dog. Would definitely use her and her nice family again!”
About: Walks through Armstrong Redwoods are a favorite activity. I have a large yard and a dog friendly house. I have a couple of years experience working in a veterinary clinic giving me experience medicating animals, including giving injections. I have a pool for dogs who love to swim! I was a volunteer and puppy raiser for Canine Companions for Independence back in the mid to late 1980's, and a Puppy Petter for Assistance Dog Institute in the early 2000's. I've also kept busy with boarding in my home for friends and acquaintances. I love dogs!! I have Sundays and Mondays off from my full time job, but I can fit in a nice walk after 4 pm most other days. When I have someone's dog, they get my full attention; we play, exercise, snuggle. My focus is providing an enriching experience for your dog .
