“Michelle's an amazing caregiver for Max. She was extremely caring towards my german shepherd senior doggo. She was also flexible with my dropoff and pickup times and dates. She will be our go to caregiver for Max from here on out. Highly recommend her.”
“Irina was terrific! She communicated very well she took wonderful care of our dogs, they loved her. SHe also is an amazing photographer, I got some really great pictures I will definitely book with her again.”
“They have been a great resource for caring for our pup for boarding and day care. Very nice people and very communicative. We feel super comfortable that they are taking the very best care of our dog.”
“Walee took care of our 6 month old puppy, Miski. We are very thankful for her kind and loving attitude. Walee went above and beyond! She kept us informed with texts and photos; she made Miski feel like she was part of their family and even took her to the dog park!. Walee's dog, Ike, is adorable and super playful. Ike and Miski became great friends. We think Miski is missing Ike a bit. Her other dog, Suchi is a loving senior citizen who wasn't up to the energetic playfulness of Ike and Miski. Walee has a large property, dogs can roam and run, but also she brings them inside and spoils them with couch time. First class service. Thanks!”
“Nala had another great stay with Amy and Justin! We are so happy we’ve found someone who provides a nurturing home away from home for our pup when we are away. Nala seems so happy when she stays with them and is well cared for. I highly recommend Amy and Justin!”
“Our pup had a great time with Dongjun and Minkoung! They sent us lots of photos of him and updates of him playing at the park and cuddling at home. Very easy and smooth stay. Highly recommend!”
“Melissa took great care of our goldendoodle while we were away for a long weekend. She sent us pictures and kept us updated on how she was doing. She has so much space for her to run and play. Thank you Melissa!”
“Great experience! Our dog was well taken care of and seemed very happy and comfortable. Communication was easy, and we really appreciated the updates and photos. We’d definitely book again!”
“This is my third time leaving my pups with Greg. He always treats them like his own! He made sure that my pups were always comfortable, exercised, and happy! I will continue to trust Greg with my pups for hopefully many more encounters to come.”
“Thank you to Michelle and David for watching Clover for the weekend. Clover got to sleep on a bed (instead of in her crate‐ yes, it was okayed!) and had a doggy friend her age to run around with. I think she enjoyed herself!”
“I would give more stars if I could! Patti and Joe are wonderful and so caring. We received pictures and videos every day of our sweet girl. They went for walks every day and lots of playtime with their dog Buttons.”
“Sylvia was great. She was very responsive and easy to communicate with. She has a lovely home and a very sweet dog and her dog and ours got along great. A nice backyard for them to romp around in, and a lot of attentive care. We felt great about his stay with Sylvia. Would definitely take advantage of her hosting again. Highly recommended.”
“Colleen and her husband are lovely people and treated our Maltipoo like he was their own. She is very knowledgeable and intuitive and a real dog lover. My little dog even looked back at her when we got into the car! What a lucky find 🐶”
“Alesya was so wonderful with my little dog Eddie! She was so sweet to him! I know Eddie felt so good with her, she treated my little dog as if it were hers. They went on 2 walks a day which Eddie loved! Alesya is a very warm person, she sat with him and comforted him when he got nervous She truly is the best! Fondly, Maureen Bolla”
“We had an amazing experience with Siyao! The communication was outstanding; we received timely videos and updates every few hours. It was clear our pup was getting plenty of attention and affection. Her professionalism and genuine love for animals made us feel completely confident leaving our pup with her. We'll be repeat clients for sure!"”
“Jena and family provided very loving and attentive care of our dog Harper. They took her for walks, played with her, loved on her and were very understanding and persistent in encouraging Harper to eat (she is more into people and play than food). Jena provided photos often showing Harper’s time with them which we enjoyed and appreciated. I highly recommend Jena and would be happy to use her services again.”
About: Over 30 years of pet care experience! I’m the type of person that stops by the side of the road to save a lost animal. My dog is a swimmer, not a walker! I work from home, but have a very flexible schedule. Definitely looking for a morning walker and am open for home drop ins otherwise. Safety is key, it is summer right now so pets should be indoors most the day. Early morning or late evening walks are best. Check the ground temperature and do not walk your dogs when its hot!

“I can't say enough great things about this experience! We've never boarded our cats so I was nervous on how they would respond. With the daily updates from Elaine on how they were doing it warmed my heart that they seemed to make a new friend. Elaine is incredibly warm and fantastic with our cats. Such a gift for us to have her care for them!”
“Hailey gave the pups meds, refilled their food and water bowls, filled puzzles, ensured they had time outside, and helped one of my pups with getting a diaper on. She’s a sweet girl and the pups love her. Grateful for her and her eagerness to help with the pups.”
“Maddy was our first Rover sitter for our 2 cats. Both are easy and just need to be fed and our tabby likes to have some attention. Maddy was consistent with her visits and we appreciated that and communicated when she needed to adjust her visit time. We have another booking with Maddy in the coming week.”

“Ruth took excellent care of our 3 kitties! I love that she was very thorough and took the time to let us know in detail everything she did with each visit. Although our kitties are very shy and hid under the bed when she came over, she still made sure to check on them and snap a pic so we could see their glowing eyes under the bed. ? We would definitely recommend Ruth and will be happy to have her care for our kitties again. ?”
“Justin is easy to work with and a great communicator. We appreciated that he got back to us right away to confirm his availability and provided twice daily updates on our dogs. We won’t hesitate to recommend him to our friends and neighbors. Thanks Justin!”

Lainey went above and beyond our expectations. and we would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone trustworthy to treat your pets as family. Thank you Lainey!”
About: I've taken care of and raised my own cat Link since we adopted him from a shelter event! He's almost 7 now and doing wonderfully! I've also volunteered at an outdoor cat sanctuary for over a year, taking care of cats with special needs and caring for them!
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my reliability, attention to detail, and genuine care for each pet as an individual. I take the time to learn and follow a pet’s routine exactly so they feel safe and comfortable, whether they’re a puppy, adult, or senior. I’m patient and confident working with puppies, including basic training reinforcement, potty routines, and leash manners. I’m also attentive to senior pets, providing gentle care, slower-paced activity, medication support if needed, and close monitoring for any changes in behavior or health. I communicate clearly with owners and treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits into my routine through consistent daily habits and a small weekly reset. I take care of feeding and fresh water every day, along with making time for exercise, bathroom breaks, and attention so my pet stays healthy and engaged. I also do quick health checks to make sure everything seems normal. Once a week, I focus on cleaning, grooming, and restocking supplies. Overall, it’s built into my day in a way that feels manageable and routine rather than overwhelming. I care for pets by following a consistent, attentive routine that prioritizes their safety, comfort, and well-being. In my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, always have fresh water, and get the appropriate exercise and bathroom breaks they need. I provide companionship and enrichment through play, attention, and positive interaction, while also monitoring their behavior and health for any changes. I follow any specific instructions given by the owner, including medication, feeding preferences, and routines, to ensure pets feel comfortable and secure in their environment
About: I am super kind, caring, and respectful of all animals! I will make sure your pet is comfortable and has all of the necessary things needed for a fun, relaxing and safe environment. I have a lot of experience with my own pets as well as taking care of friends and family pets. As a retired elementary school teacher, I have a ton of patience and will take the time to do everything I can to make your pet comfortable and happy : ) I have also taken care of many of my students' pets and homes over the years. I love to help out! I look forward to meeting you and your pet family. I am retired, so pet sitting is perfect! I am wide open for dates to help assist you with your fur babies! Hope to meet you soon! Any pet is welcomed into my home! They can sit/lay anywhere that is comfortable. I will always be with them, and make sure they have what they need to be happy!
About: I've taken care of cats since I was 10 years old. Neighbors, family, and friends have all entrusted me with their Cats and also ask for advice on their care. Every Cat is different and every Cat parent has different preferences that I fully respect.
“Kyla was amazing! She and our dog, Riley, got along really well. She was very attentive to Riley’s needs and was very quick to update us with any news! We would highly recommend her to anyone in the area. 10/10 would recommend”

“Elaine, treated Cruz like one of her own. She gave her lots of love and attention. Cruz had such a great time with her and her pups that she didn’t want to leave each day, and was ecstatic going back each morning. Elaine provided us with great pics and detailed updates. So thankful to know that Cruz had a wonderful week of daycare with her!!”
“My high-energy large Lab and Golden Retriever puppy had an amazing day with Michelle and her family on their farm, and came home tired and well-cared for ❤️. Hope they will be able to visit again soon! Thank you again!”
“First and best experience with doggy day care! Sara is amazing - so amazing Sugar acted as if I was a stranger. Sugar had so much fun she was tired and napping away when I picked her up. She was definitely showing me some attitude when leaving Sara’s; I’m sure Sugar wanted me to continue working for another 8+ hours. Sugar and I both highly recommend!”
“I found the perfect family-style petsitter for my repeat visits to Cameron Park. Irina is a loving mom to her family of 2 and 4-legged kiddos as well as the pets that come for a short stay in her home. She was a wonderful communicator before and during my dog's stay. The photos she sent showed my Corgi was truly happy at Irina's place. I enjoyed talking to Irina about her positive experiences using Rover as a provider and I shared my success with finding a Rover pet sitter near my home in Aizona and now a sitter for a frequent destination in California. I highly recommend Irina and Rover.”
“Alexa provided such a wonderful Rover experience. She's a great communicator, very attuned to a pet's care instructions, and I came back to find my pup so relaxed and happy with her. I wouldn't hesitate to book again with her, thank you Alexa!”
“Shannon and her husband were amazing! They're very caring people. They also have a French bulldog which was a plus for our frenchie. When it came time to pick up our pup, she didn't want to leave. That's the best sign of a successful playdate. Anyway, we highly recommend Shannon and we will definitely be using her again. Thanks, Shannon!! :)”
“Sara is the absolute best. Thank you for making Harleys stays with you so enjoyable. We will continue to use her services without a doubt. One of the best you’ll find on Rover! ❤️”
About: Throughout the years, I have always naturally bonded with animals of all shapes and sizes. I have dedicated much of my life to caring for pets, starting from the time I was young when family and neighbors relied on me for daily feeding, walking, and playtime. Whether your dog needs gentle senior companionship, patient routine maintenance, or a fun play session, I ensure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and deeply loved while you are away. My partner and I work together to maintain a highly flexible routine, ensuring your pets always receive plenty of attention. Between the two of us, we are readily available throughout weekdays and weekends for reliable check-ins, timely feedings, and continuous companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. As a team, my partner and I provide attentive, gentle supervision while strictly following all of your house and care instructions. Having two dedicated caregivers means your pet gets extra care, secure monitoring, and regular photo updates.
“Nanci is very attentive and loving. She put me at ease by sending pictures and videos throughout the day. You can always judge the quality of the daycare by the reaction of your dog when you arrive in the morning, and my pups were wagging their tails a million miles a minute!”
About: Hi! Feel free to check out my review and photo section!! My favorite things are audiobooks, long walks, and spending time with dogs and cats so this work feels like a perfect fit. I approach pet care as a way to support others, not just as a service. I’m not here to overcharge—I simply enjoy being someone dependable and trustworthy that neighbors can count on. I’ve been working with a few local families and recently joined Rover 🐾 Check out my photos section!! Local, reliable helping hand for pet sitting, babysitting, caregiving, and event help. I work for a property management company so I have a flexible schedule and love helping neighbors whenever they need an extra hand. My work is mostly from my laptop or phone so what works for you works for me! When caring for clients’ homes and pets, I always make sure everything is how it was left and treat it with care and intention. I respect that someone’s home and pets are very personal to them, so I make sure things stay clean, organized, and comfortable while they’re away. My goal is for you to come back to a happy pet and a home that feels just the way you left it. Whether it’s overnight care or a simple walk in the day I’m here to help out!
“Sharon and Henry are great dog sitters! I really felt my dog was cared for and they sent frequent updates. Their dog is a sweetie that behaves well around other dogs. My dog came home both days exhausted from playing all day. I would absolutely recommend them and will reach out to them again in the future!”
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember. My very first pet was my childhood cat, who I got when I was 2 years old and who lived with me for 17 wonderful years before crossing the rainbow bridge. I’ve always had a special connection with animals and a passion for caring for them. Over the years, I’ve gained experience caring for many different types of pets, including dogs, cats, birds, fish, and more. I currently have two Dobermans and a kitty of my own. I recently moved to a 2 acre property, which has been amazing for training and working with my dogs, they’re truly thriving with the space and lifestyle they deserve. To me, pets are family, and I always strive to give them the best care, attention, and love possible. I’ve also rescued and fostered kittens in need, helping them find safe and loving forever homes. Caring for animals genuinely brings me happiness, and having them in my life has always been incredibly fulfilling. I currently work part time and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time, attention, and care to your pets. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine since I already care for my own animals every day. At my home, pets have access to a large, secure fenced yard for safe outdoor time and exercise. I also have spacious fenced in kennels available if needed for safety, rest time, or individual comfort. Pets are always supervised, given plenty of attention, and cared for in a clean, calm environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always respect their routines, instructions, and house rules to help pets feel comfortable and stress free in their familiar environment. I like to check in with pet parents often, sending pictures and updates to give them peace of mind while their pets are in my care.
About: Hi there! 💕🐾 I’m Sofia! I’m a stay-at-home mama, lifelong animal lover, and someone who has always had a soft spot for our four-legged friends. I’ve cared for dogs of all shapes, sizes, ages, and personalities, from tiny Chihuahuas and Frenchies to Greyhounds, playful puppies, sweet seniors, and shy little pups who need some extra TLC. **When you're away, your pet deserves a little vacation of their own!** 🐾 Think of my home as Auntie Sofia's house, where your fur baby can enjoy cozy naps, neighborhood walks, couch cuddles, lots of affection, and someone who will absolutely talk to them like they're a tiny human. 😂 I know every animal has their own personality, routines, and funny little quirks. I'm happy to follow their usual schedule, including meals, medications, training cues, and bedtime routines. **Cat lover, too!** 🐱 I offer drop-in visits for nearby kitties, including feeding, fresh water, litter care, playtime, and some good old-fashioned company. I'm also happy to discuss care for other small pets! **A little about our home:** 💗 Our home in El Dorado Hills is cozy, relaxed, and full of love! We have a sweet, curious toddler, so pets staying with us must be comfortable and gentle around young children. Safety is always my priority. I'm experienced in recognizing canine stress signals, managing challenging behaviors, and maintaining safe boundaries. All interactions are supervised, and everyone gets their own space to relax when needed. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else. Whether you're away for a weekend or a longer trip, my goal is to make sure they're happy, comfortable, and getting plenty of love. **A little vacation for them and peace of mind for you!** ✨ Can't wait to meet you and your little bestie! 💗 I’m a stay at home mama, so I’m home almost all the time unless my daughter has an appointment. 💕 Caring for animals is already part of my everyday life, so having a pup with me feels very natural. I like to let my routine flow around the pet I’m caring for - whether they need extra walks, frequent potty breaks, medication, playtime, a quiet nap buddy, or approximately 47 cuddles before noon. 😂🐾 I’m happy to follow whatever schedule helps them feel happiest and most at home. I’m a stay-at-home mama, so I’m home with my furry guests most of the day and able to give them lots of attention, supervision, and reassurance. I’m always happy to follow special diets, medication instructions, training routines, or any other needs your fur baby may have, and I keep a close eye on them while they’re in my care. I also love keeping pet parents in the loop with plenty of photo updates and little check-ins, because nobody wants to wonder what their baby is up to. 😂💗 Whether your pet is staying with me or I'm helping, my goal is simple: keep them safe, secure, happy, loved, no matter what!

I would be happy to make sure that your pet has the best experience. I have a fully fenced yard on a quiet street. I allow pets to use any furniture they would like to make themselves a home

“Cole was amazing with our beagle puppy, Cowboy. Cole was super communicative and friendly, and he took Cowboy on a long walk at the nearby dog park. Cole has dogs of his own, so he has a wealth of knowledge on how to train and take care of our dog. Would highly recommend Cole!”
“Extraordinarily personable, accepting and supportive of our hyper and high octane pup. By the time the four visits had passed Elaine succeeded in gaining our pups trust. In only took one visit for us. We have our future #1 choice for all care moving forward in Elaine.”
About: I have worked for boarding facilities before, one that had no kennels and one that did. I have had lots of experience taking care of dogs and cats, giving oral medications, and watching them during the day to day. I love animals and always think of them as a part of your family. I am available everyday except for Tuesday's and Thursday's. As long as I have two days notice I have no issue doing check-ins, walks, or watching your furry friends with whatever schedule works best! Due to my previous experience with boarding facilities, I am well trained to follow instructions left by owners. Whatever schedule my clients have I will adapt to and perform, so that their pet won’t get confused or distressed by the change in schedule. I make sure to give special love and attention to each and every pet I care for.
“Irina is super kind and easygoing! She made sure my little dog Chester was taken care of, and even went the extra mile to drive him to a shaded park for his walk. I loved getting pictures of his happy face! :)”
“Ruth was able to accommodate our last minute holiday need for walks while we were gone on vacation. Great communication. Loved all the pictures and detailed descriptions of the walks. Thanks again so much Ruth and Happy New Year ❤️”
About: I have taken care of dogs for the past 5 years or so by myself. Growing up my parents watched dogs for friends and family every so often. We also had a border collie mix of our own for 15 years and I was responsible for taking care of him. I currently work M-Th; 9am-5pm but fairly free before or after work for walks and playtime. I tend to get up early on work days but a night owl on the weekends. I enjoy getting out on the weekends like going on walks with hikes. I currently do not have fenced in hard but I do have a large grass area right outside my house that is dog friendly and is great for playtime and even doggie pool time.
About: Hi! My name is Sydnee. I’m a 23 year old married animal lover with extensive, hands on experience caring for animals of all sizes. I’ve owned horses since I was young and into adulthood, so I’m very comfortable with livestock as well as typical household pets. I currently have five cats and a dog of my own, and I’ve been actively caring for animals since I was about 13 years old. What started as helping neighbors, friends, and family quickly grew into a full pet sitting business. After several years, I took a break to explore other career paths and get married but my love for animal care never left. I’m excited to be jumping back into pet care and would love the opportunity to provide reliable, compassionate, and knowledgeable care for your animals. 🐾 I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to adjust my day around the needs of the pets in my care. I’m able to accommodate a variety of routines, including early mornings, late evenings, extended visits, and last-minute changes when needed. This flexibility allows me to spend quality, unrushed time with each pet and provide consistent, dependable care that fits seamlessly into their normal routine. A day with me is filled with attentive care, comfort, and plenty of love. Your pet’s routine comes first, meals are served on schedule, medications (if needed) are given carefully, and there’s lots of time for play, exercise, and enrichment tailored to their personality. Whether that means long walks, quiet cuddle time, interactive play, or simply relaxing nearby, I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away.
About: Hi! I'm a college graduate with a bachelor's degree in Kinesiology, a former Division I athlete, and an experienced dog and house sitter.

As a former Division I athlete, I am dependable, responsible, and committed to giving every pet the attention they deserve. I understand that pets are most comfortable in their own home, so I strive to maintain their regular routine and provide personalized care based on their needs. Whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddle time, or extra attention for senior pets, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you're away. I also provide updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind.

I am gentle with the animals and can do grooming such as brushing and can try nail clipping if your pets allow it!

I just moved to a new town and actively looking for a new job. I love animals and feel this would be a great fit for me in the meantime! I would prioritize your dog’s safety on every walk-always using secure leashes, staying in pet-friendly areas, and keeping full attention on your dogs needs!
About: Served as a volunteer and foster parent for many rescued animals in Bali during the pandemic. My experience with animals is vast. Ive grown up with many different kinds of pets. Cats. Dogs. Birds. Reptiles. Rodents. Chickens. ducks. Donkeys. Horses. Pigs. Goats. You name it. I love all animals. I was raised in the foothills in the redwood forest. I’m a very down to earth and healthy lifestyle human who just loves fur babies of all types. I’m attentive and loving and playful with animals. I really need it as much as they do. I work early in the mornings off around 9am and then have most of the day to myself. It’s nice to have an excuse to take a dog on a walk or to lounge around with some kitty cuddles. Having animals in my home makes it feel more like a home. In my own home I will be in close proximity at all times and I will be home the entire time so I can sense when potty breaks or walks are needed. I really enjoy taking walks myself so it’s a perfect fit to have dogs over. Cats are similar with the exception of walks unless you want to leash train them or already have. I love to keep an eye on them so they don’t hurt themselves and I give lots of play time.
About: I’m a part-time working mom looking to fill my free hours doing what I love! I have my own special needs dog (cleft palate), and have fostered dogs previously, one with spina bifida. I’ve been raised with cats and dogs my entire life, as well as birds and small critters as a child! I’ve always cared for neighbors’ dogs and cats, as well ad housesat, and spent a lot of my childhood shadowing and spending time with my cousin who was a veterinarian. I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of free time throughout the week to come check on and spend time with your doggos! My schedule does change and fluctuate, but I can typically work around and with it. I don’t care for pets in my home, but when I care for them in yours, I will always treat them as my own while following all of your rules and guidelines. I know how important that is to me when someone watches my special needs dogs, so I will always respect and follow any and all instructions!
About: I have been actively taking care of pets my whole life. I love animals and treat them like my own children. I have a 10 year old daughter who is on her way to become a vet and wife who loves pets just as much! I work from home and can accommodate your schedule at anytime needed. I would be happy to make sure that your pet has the best experience. I have a fully fenced yard on a quiet street. I allow pets to use any furniture they would like to make themselves a home

“Michelle's an amazing caregiver for Max. She was extremely caring towards my german shepherd senior doggo. She was also flexible with my dropoff and pickup times and dates. She will be our go to caregiver for Max from here on out. Highly recommend her.”
“Irina was terrific! She communicated very well she took wonderful care of our dogs, they loved her. SHe also is an amazing photographer, I got some really great pictures I will definitely book with her again.”
“Our baby who is just 4 months old, untrained and not socialized stayed with Sharon for a week. Sharon and Albert did an amazing job of taking care of her and working with her. She came home trained in many areas ? Thank you Sharon and Albert!!”
“They have been a great resource for caring for our pup for boarding and day care. Very nice people and very communicative. We feel super comfortable that they are taking the very best care of our dog.”
“Walee took care of our 6 month old puppy, Miski. We are very thankful for her kind and loving attitude. Walee went above and beyond! She kept us informed with texts and photos; she made Miski feel like she was part of their family and even took her to the dog park!. Walee's dog, Ike, is adorable and super playful. Ike and Miski became great friends. We think Miski is missing Ike a bit. Her other dog, Suchi is a loving senior citizen who wasn't up to the energetic playfulness of Ike and Miski. Walee has a large property, dogs can roam and run, but also she brings them inside and spoils them with couch time. First class service. Thanks!”
“Nala had another great stay with Amy and Justin! We are so happy we’ve found someone who provides a nurturing home away from home for our pup when we are away. Nala seems so happy when she stays with them and is well cared for. I highly recommend Amy and Justin!”
“Melissa took great care of our goldendoodle while we were away for a long weekend. She sent us pictures and kept us updated on how she was doing. She has so much space for her to run and play. Thank you Melissa!”
“Sixuan was incredibly attentive, following all of my feeding instructions to the letter, taking Andi on regular walks, and ensuring she had her potty breaks every three hours or so. Coming home to find Andi looking so happy relaxed and healthy gave me total peace of mind. She sent regular pictures with updates about her welfare . I gladly give Sixuan 5 stars for her excellent service and cannot recommend Sixuan highly enough! She did an absolutely wonderful job looking after my fur-baby!”
“Great experience! Our dog was well taken care of and seemed very happy and comfortable. Communication was easy, and we really appreciated the updates and photos. We’d definitely book again!”
“This is my third time leaving my pups with Greg. He always treats them like his own! He made sure that my pups were always comfortable, exercised, and happy! I will continue to trust Greg with my pups for hopefully many more encounters to come.”
“Thank you to Michelle and David for watching Clover for the weekend. Clover got to sleep on a bed (instead of in her crate‐ yes, it was okayed!) and had a doggy friend her age to run around with. I think she enjoyed herself!”
“Sandy was AMAZING and that’s an understatement. From start to finish she was very assuring. I had no worries leaving Charm in her care as she treated my pup like he was family. She gave updates often, and Charm was so happy to be spending time with her and her family. Not to mention Her backyard area is super cute. I will be using Sandy a lot!”
“Sylvia was great. She was very responsive and easy to communicate with. She has a lovely home and a very sweet dog and her dog and ours got along great. A nice backyard for them to romp around in, and a lot of attentive care. We felt great about his stay with Sylvia. Would definitely take advantage of her hosting again. Highly recommended.”
“We had an amazing experience with Siyao! The communication was outstanding; we received timely videos and updates every few hours. It was clear our pup was getting plenty of attention and affection. Her professionalism and genuine love for animals made us feel completely confident leaving our pup with her. We'll be repeat clients for sure!"”
“Jena and family provided very loving and attentive care of our dog Harper. They took her for walks, played with her, loved on her and were very understanding and persistent in encouraging Harper to eat (she is more into people and play than food). Jena provided photos often showing Harper’s time with them which we enjoyed and appreciated. I highly recommend Jena and would be happy to use her services again.”
“Amber did a great job! She stepped up and accepted Osa at the last moment. Osa was happy, and Amber ensured it was not too hot to take her out until it cooled off during a 100-degree day.”
About: Over 30 years of pet care experience! I’m the type of person that stops by the side of the road to save a lost animal. My dog is a swimmer, not a walker! I work from home, but have a very flexible schedule. Definitely looking for a morning walker and am open for home drop ins otherwise. Safety is key, it is summer right now so pets should be indoors most the day. Early morning or late evening walks are best. Check the ground temperature and do not walk your dogs when its hot!
