“My foster dog Baby had a wonderful stay with Tanya and her daughter. Their home is basically doggy heaven, and Baby enjoyed the huge lawn and tons of love and care accordingly. Baby looks forward to her next visit!”
“Anniruda & Isha watched our senior dog Zephyr. At intake Anniruda was very thorough with questions about our doggo. They went out of their way to ensure Zephyr’s comfort during her stay. She was all tuckered out by the time we picked her up. Thank you for providing such diligent care to our dog!”
“Grace is beyond amazing! She is extremely communicative, consistently giving us updates and pictures of Valentina. Very loving and kind towards our dog gave her really nice attention and daily walks. Great!”

About: Firm yet loving care for all dogs, specializing in puppy training, high energy, hiking/running, and managing complex medical needs like seizures, food sensitivities, and limited mobility. Currently working from home with flexible time which allows me to integrate training, walks, play time, and medical monitoring throughout the day, while weekends are dedicated to long runs/walks and trail hikes. My approach to pet care is rooted in structure, trust, and genuine affection. My services will be tailored to each dog's needs indoors or outdoors.
“Karla was a fantastic sitter! She sent lots of photos and checked in daily. She always asked before giving my dog any new foods or treats. Would 100% leave my baby with her again. Thanks Karla!”
“My lab mix Steinbeck had a great relaxed time at his first overnight stretch (3 nights and days) at Camp Mita, after previously spending several good doggy daycare days there. He is a rescue with a trauma history so he can become quite nervous when I am away-- but not so at all when with MIta and family!--who gave him so much TLC as well as lovely walks. MIta's calm and friendly older yellow lab also clearly was a very reassuring presence to him. I loved receiving the gracious daily photos so I could see how "at home" he was making himself. He came home completely grounded. I was able to enjoy my time away so much more because he clearly enjoyed his time with Madhumita. Thanks for your attentiveness to a sensitive dog, Mita!”
“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!”
“James did an excellent job with a long-weekend care of my dog. My rescue senior canine has serious human trust and personal space issues. I discussed these in advance with James, and he was willing to accommodate my pup’s needs. The stay went very well, and James communicated with me (pictures) every day. It was clear James cared very much about my pup and made the stay as pleasant and calm as possible for him. I recommend James for pet care and I will use him again when I travel and need a safe place for my canine.”
“Kelly and her partner were great! Dottie came home happy and seemed like she had a good time. They were flexible when we had to unexpectedly do a later pickup time. Thank you Kelly!!”
“Svetlana was great! Our dog was loved and cared for, and I would not hesitate to leave her again in such good hands. I appreciated the daily updates and pictures of walks, play, and lounging at home. Svetlana was super responsive to all of my questions and was such a nice person to interact with. The overall experience was fantastic.”
“Thanks for taking such great care of Rocky while we were traveling! We appreciate all the photos and updates - such a great relief to know he was having a good time every day!!”
“Meerim was incredibly kind and responsive with our aging dog, Rupert. He is older and losing his eye sight and she was very understanding and caring with him. We would definitely trust Rupert with her again.”
“My dog Re’lar had a blast staying with Michael (as evidenced by the many photos and videos I recieved). Michael was communicative which helped put me at ease since this was the first time my pup stayed with him. Would be happy to have Re’lar stay with him again next time we are in need.”
“My 2 dogs had An amazing stay with Yan. She is so sweet, kind, and communicative. She is very easy to talk to and to work with. I really appreciate that she was available to take care of my dogs. The dogs came home happy, and I was relieved on my trip that they were in good hands. Will definitely book her again. Thanks so much !”
“Kekw had a great time with Jifu. He really enjoyed playing with their dog Joki and was comfortable enough to relax and eat most of his food. One thing I was especially happy with was that Kekw came home quite clean!! Usually Kekw will get really dirty with boarders so I'm really happy about this.”

“Cordigen D always is super flexible and is able to come at specific times to make sure my cat is in the house. She’s kind and my cat clearly loves her. I always get her when I travel. She’s the best.”
“We’ve booked Kelsey multiple times and we’re so happy to find our go to sitter! She is communicative, kind, and Beowulf loves her! Absolutely will book her in the future!”
“Esmeralda was so wonderful with my cat Sona! Sona has some very specific medication needs, and Esmeralda kindly send me a photo every day so I could feel better that Sona had taken her medicine. She was very neat and left my house in really wonderful condition too - would definitely rebook her for future house sitting!”
“Savannah was terrific. Lots of updates, consistent info, very very punctual. I’m really glad she was available! She asked all the right questions and checked in with me any time someone was off the normal. Definitely recommend her!”
“Taryn was awesome! We were traveling to Pescadero for the day, with my daughter, son in-law and grandpuppies, but didn't want to leave them in the car while we had lunch and walked the town. Taryn met us at the restaurant and took the dogs to a nearby play area. She was on time, professional, and so caring with the pups. There human mommy was nervous to leave them, but felt comfortable with Taryn. We had a relaxing lunch, and the pooches came back happy and tired! Thanks Taryn for your professionalism, it added so much to our special day.”
“Evan was great! He took great care of our 3 fur babies. I felt totally at ease and knew that I could trust him to be there for my dogs when they needed to be cared for. He has been easy to communicate with and reliable!”
“Chelsea is awesome. Excellent communicator, so caring, and really genuinely gives her all to animals. She sends lots of cute pictures and updates, is conscientious of my apartment, and gives my flame point Siamese so many snuggles. He's obsessed with her. So glad to have found her.”
About: I'm home for the summer and love taking care of cats. I grew up with two of my own back in Texas—Anastasia, a Chartreux, and Dimitri, who is a sweet orange cat. I completely understand everything they need, from feeding routines to keeping them entertained. I've also babysat cats for several neighbors over the last two years, so I know exactly how to keep them happy and comfortable while you're away!
“Chelsea is AMAZING! She is so great with our cats—they love her and always come out to greet her despite being very shy. She also accommodated us over a holiday weekend last minute which we will forever be grateful for. She is very communicative, attentive, and considerate. Could not recommend more!”
About: Cats have been a constant in my life. I grew up with four of them, and as an adult I had two cats, Vinnie and Lola, followed by a rescue named Lydia. I later fostered two kittens before setting off traveling, and cats have kept finding me on the road; I've lived with quite a few along the way. On a recent housesit I looked after a shy cat named Harvi who kept her distance for the first few days, and by the end of the week she was curled up next to me like it was nothing new. I'm comfortable with litter box maintenance, medication, and multi-cat households, and I always let a nervous cat set the pace rather than pushing for affection.
About: I’m a dog lover who’s all about giving your pup lots of love, play, and care while you’re away. I live in an apartment building right near tons of green spaces and parks, so there’s always a great spot nearby for walks or playtime. I’ve got experience training puppies and I’m great with senior dogs who need a little extra TLC. Every dog gets plenty of attention, belly rubs, and walks tailored to their energy and personality. I’m currently taking some time off, so I have plenty of free time every day to give your pup all the attention and playtime they need. Whether it’s long walks, fun games at the park, or just cuddling around the apartment, I’m here to keep your furry friend happy and active throughout the day. Your dog won’t feel lonely or bored when they’re with me and my rescue pup Zoë! I provide loving, personalized care whether your pet stays with me or I visit them at home. In my home, your dog will enjoy a safe, cozy environment with plenty of playtime and walks around nearby parks. For in-home visits, I stick to your pet’s usual routine to keep them comfortable and happy, including feeding, potty breaks,
“John was so kind and attentive with Max everyday during his stay. He was absolutely flexible adapting his apartment for Max big size and all his belongings (litter, scratchers, food containers, carrier, blankets, toys), so Max would have a less stressful stay. John was effectively communicating with us, and always willing to do his best to ensure Max will have a great time and we will know as much as possible about Max’s last updates. We are really thankful with John for taking care of Max, following his food and water routine over the heat wave, for cleaning his eyes and for sending us all the pictures and updates every day, so we will enjoy our short trip knowing Max was safe and happy. Thank you so much John, we’ll see you next time! Blessings from the 3 of us!”

“Stacey has been incredible with our little dog Coco. She has been extremely communicative and sent us lots of pictures during our time away. Coco loved her time hanging out with Stacey’s dogs and having lots of play time. Thank you so much Stacey, we’ll definitely be booking again!”
“We have used Renz several different times and he’s always been great! Pepper loves he and his partner and their sweeeeet dog, Whiskey. Renz is very easy to coordinate with, follows all my instructions, troubleshoots intelligently, is skilled in obedience training, and seems to really enjoy learning Pepper’s needs. He has access to a variety of dog parks and trails, including agility structures, so I know Pepper is always going to have fun and be stimulated. Highly recommend!”
“I’m so grateful for Yun and Lina. They really spoil Finley and I trust them completely with my baby. Just last week, I was in the process of moving and things took longer than expected. They were so accommodating and said I can leave Finley for however long. Not sure what I’d do without them! Thank you Yun and Lina ♥️”
“Rudi and Isha came to my rescue in my frantic search for a puppy sitter for a planned visit with longtime friends in the South Bay. I really appreciate their flexibility in the duration of the daycare as I offer ram my estimated time to pick up Lacey. Right from the start, Rudi socialized Lacey with Rex, his Labrador with a brief two-tether walk. Provided periodic updates, pictures included, letting me know all was going well and putting me at ease. While she was there, Lacey had plenty of playtime with Rex, and slept longer into the next morning than she had before. Also fed Lacey her dinner (since I ran late), and took Lacey on a nice walk. Overall a wonderful experience for Lacey, as well as for me, as this was our very first “Rover experience”. Definitely recommend, and I will rebook if/when the next trip to the area happens.”
“Florence and Wen were fantastic with Snow..very kind and polite. Genuine people taking care of pets very well. They gave me regular updates and have a very neat and tidy backyard for dogs to play. Snow really enjoyed being there. I highly recommend Florence and Wen for your pet sitting needs.”
“My pup had a great time with Jeffrey. Jeffrey took him for walks, played with him, sent me lots of pics. I could tell Jeffrey was taking good care of him, and my pup was very happy with him. I highly recommend Jeffrey!”
“Winnie loved her stay with Karla! Karla is super attentive and so flexible; she was to accommodate my very last minute booking. She kept me updated and sent me pictures throughout the day. I would highly recommend her to anyone! Winnie looks forward to hanging out with her again soon ☺️🐾”
“Ana and Mark, have been great with Nina. We have been lucky to find them. Shoreline amphitheater is close to them, so whenever you are heading to a concert, they are a great option.”
“Bilbo had a great time at doggy day care with Edward and Elisha! They have a large backyard for the dogs to play and hang out. Bilbo got along well with their dogs Rusty and Ruby. They sent many photos so I know that Bilbo was happy and well taken care of. We will definitely bring Bilbo back. Highly recommend Edward and Elisha!”
“Pouneh is wonderful! From the beginning, she responded to my messages right away. We did an initial meet and greet at the local park. Nana immediately took to her and her daughters! I knew Nana would be happy and in good hands. Drop off and pick ups: I need to do an early drop off and it’s been super smooth. It’s easy to park in front and get Nana out safely and since we arranged that I send my ETA, Pouneh was already waiting outside ready to take her. Picking her up was also super easy. I texted ETA and she had everything ready with Nana. Again, parking was easy and available in front. Pouneh is very experienced and patient with dogs. She also has extra supplies like bowls, blankets, towels, leashes, etc., making it easier with less things to lug around. Nana looked so relaxed and happy when I picked her up that first day and each day since. I am happy to recommend Pouneh to anyone for doggie care and I will for sure rebook whenever I need an extra hand. Lastly, props to Rover as well. This is a great service and I don’t know what I’d do without it. I’ve always found great people here with sometimes short notice.”
“My energetic puppy had a great time with their two little dogs. When we chatted at pick up time, I could tell a lot of care and consideration went into watching over my little pup. They followed my "puppy handbook" to a T!”
“I needed last minute day care for my dog, but I was somewhat hesitant about dropping him off with someone that he didn't know. When I read Priya's reviews and spoke with her on the phone, it looked like a good option. From the moment I met Priya, I thought she would be great. She was so warm when she met my dog, and he responded well to her kind voice when she spoke to him. Priya sent me pics and gave me updates on how he was doing which further caused me to feel relaxed with my dog in her care. When I picked him up, his eyes were bright with excitement, and he clearly was happy playing at Priya's home. I highly recommend Priya!”
About: I have grown up around dogs my whole life. I am well-versed in walking large and stubborn dogs such as Newfoundlands and Great Pyrenees. I have been a parent to Wells, a very high-energy Vizsla, for 5 years now. We did all our training ourselves and successfully trained a great loose-leash walker. I am eager to help other dogs learn this skill as well! I am working locums, so I am gone for 4 days twice a month and otherwise home and available the rest of the month. Open for walks and visits all day! If your dog is open to a play date, I have a very friendly, high-energy dog that would love to get his zoomies out with your pup. Open to going for long walks or nearby fenced-in dog parks.
“Chelsea is wonderful! She hosted my pup Ollie for daycare and sent cute photos of him having a blast along the way. She’s also very responsive, kind, and accommodating. Would highly recommend!”
“Ying provided such wonderful and professional care for our puppy, Friday! He received so much love, patience, and attention while staying at her home, and he had an amazing time playing with both people and other dogs. Ying also kept us updated with lots of photos and videos, which gave us great peace of mind and let us see how much fun Friday was having. ❤️ We truly appreciate how caring and patient Ying was with Friday. We felt completely comfortable and confident leaving him in her care, and we would absolutely trust her with Friday again!”

About: I’m a student looking to help out with some local pet care and housesitting while i’m home for the summer. I’m vegan, I live alone, and I genuinely love animals and have a lot of flexibility with my schedule so I'm more than happy to keep your pets company, stick to their regular routines, daily walks, and make sure everything is taken care of. I'll always send plenty of photo updates too so you know they're doing great. I've taken care of dogs and cats for neighboring families and friends for many years, so I'm super comfortable handling pets with various different personalities and needs. I’m home for the summer and my schedule is incredibly open and flexible right now. Since I don't work a job, I have plenty of free time during the week and on weekends to hang out with your pets, stick to their routines, and make sure they're taken care of as if they are my own. Safety is the main thing for me. I always double-check locks and gates, follow whatever feeding or walking instructions you leave, and keep a close eye on them. I've watched dogs and cats for family and friends for the past two years, so I know what kind of things can go wrong and how to keep everyone happy and safe.
“Cordigen has been wonderful at providing weekly visits for our puppy, Sammy, and our 8 year old dog, June. I can tell from the photos she sends that they have a great time with her on their 3x/week visits and really appreciate all the care she shows for them. Highly recommend!”
About: My Pet Care Experience Growing up, I had the joy of sharing my life with a variety of pets, each teaching me something unique about responsibility, empathy, and companionship. Over the years, I’ve cared for hamsters, cats, dogs, fish, bunnies, and turtles, and every one of them left a lasting impact on me. As a child, my hamsters taught me patience and attentiveness through their delicate care needs. Feeding them the right diet and cleaning their habitat were my first lessons in responsibility. With dogs and cats, I learned the importance of building trust and providing unconditional love. They showed me how meaningful the bond between humans and animals can be. Bunnies and turtles required different forms of care, from maintaining specific diets to creating environments that matched their natural habitats. These experiences taught me how to adapt and tailor my care to meet the needs of each pet. Even caring for fish required a level of diligence, as maintaining a clean tank and balanced water conditions was essential for their well-being. Now, as an adult, I deeply appreciate how much these experiences shaped my understanding of what it means to care for animals. Pets aren’t just companions; they’re beings that rely on us for their health, happiness, and safety. This realization drives my dedication to providing the best care possible for my current and future pets. Whether it’s ensuring they receive proper nutrition, regular vet check-ups, or just spending quality time with them, I believe that having pets is both a privilege and a commitment. Caring for animals has not only made me more responsible but has also brought immense joy and fulfillment into my life. Pet care is an important part of my daily and weekly routine, and I always make time to ensure pets are happy and healthy. Currently, as a student on vacation, I have plenty of free time during the holidays to dedicate to their care, including playing with them, grooming, and keeping their spaces clean. During the semester, I usually have classes in the mornings, but my afternoons and evenings are free. This gives me a flexible schedule to provide attention, exercise, and care for the pets. I enjoy creating a balance between my responsibilities and spending quality time with them, as I believe this is key to building a strong bond and keeping them content. I am very responsible when it comes to caring for pets, whether in my home or my client’s home. I always prioritize building trust with the pet, creating a bond that ensures they feel safe and comfortable with me. The place where I live is fenced and quiet, making it a safe environment for pets. However, I understand that pets often feel more comfortable staying in their own home, surrounded by familiar smells and routines. For this reason, I am more than happy to care for them at their place if that’s preferred. Regardless of the location, I make sure to follow their specific routines, provide plenty of playtime and attention, and ensure their needs are met with love and care.
“Esmeralda is wonderful with our golden retriever! She is calm, attentive, and engaging, gets in sync with his personality, and lets him enjoy being outside for an adventure, read the daily doggie news or just hang out listening to music. She is a professional when it comes to her canine care so we are confident when we leave our pup with her. Thank you Esmi!! 😁”
“Savannah is great with Goose. She is also excellent at communicating. We appreciate her help with walking Goose while we were away. We hope we can book with Savannah again in the future.”
“This was our Great Dane's first walk with Yesenia. Our pup appeared to be very comfortable and responsive to Yesenia. Yesenia was very reliable and punctual. Looking forward to more walks!”
About: I’ve always grown up in a family with lots of pets, so I really miss having that connection with animals. That’s why I’d love to have the opportunity to spend time with dogs here in California. Back in Italy, I regularly took care of medium-sized dogs, mostly taking them for walks, playing with them, and organizing playdates. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and would love to give them the same care and attention I’ve always given to my own pets. 🐶❤️ I’m currently work during the afternoon, so I’m free in the mornings, usually until 2:30 pm. Also after dinner around 6:30pm and nights. During the weekends I’m always free . I care for your pets by following their daily routines. At my home, I provide a safe, cage-free, and welcoming environment; at your home, I offer visits or sitting focused on feeding, walks, hygiene, and play. You will receive daily photo updates for complete peace of mind.
About: I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and exotic animals for families and neighbors for over 8 years. This ranges from home check-ins, trips to the vet, and overnight pet sitting. I have two cats at home and share custody of an English lab with my ex-boyfriend. I enjoy treating others pets the way I treat my own. I keep things as routine as possible for my clients, reduce stress, and create fun experiences for them too. I understand that a pet's home and environment are crucial. At home, I make sure my cats always have access to their food and water, litter boxes, and places for them to lounge :)
“Jennifer was punctual, professional, and friendly. She started walking Gus weekly and he got on with her easily. He came back happy and ready for a nap. Definitely helpful when I am working.”
“Mario was outstanding! His communication was excellent, and he went above and beyond to help me out with walking my dogs on a stressful day of moving. I highly recommend him.”
About: Hi! I’m Taryn! I’m an experienced and compassionate pet caregiver with a lifelong love for animals — especially rescues. Over the past 13 years, I’ve owned three very different dogs (a chihuahua, dachshund mix, and shepherd mix), so I understand that every dog has their own personality, needs, and boundaries. I’m comfortable adjusting care based on your dog — whether that means a short, gentle walk for a senior pup or a long, active outing to burn energy. I also have hands-on experience with dogs who have leash or food aggression, and I always approach care with patience, awareness, and respect for each dog’s comfort level. As of 6/1/2026 I have a Certificate of Completion from the American Red Cross Cat and Dog First Aid (online) In addition, one of my dogs, Shadow, has seizures, so I’m familiar with staying calm in high-stress situations, monitoring for symptoms, and providing attentive, responsive care when it matters most. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a pet who has extra needs. I’ve also have my own mini crew of farm animals including chickens and ducks and have some experience looking after goats and horses. I’m happy to provide: • Walks tailored to your dog’s energy level • Feeding and routine care • Medication (depending on type) • Baths and brushing • Calm, attentive care for anxious or special needs pets • Plenty of love and companionship Beyond dogs, I have 20+ years of experience with cats. I’ve volunteered with Homeless Cat Network and fostered for Coastside Feral Care. Fun fact: Every animal I’ve cared for or owned has been a rescue — I have a special place in my heart for them and understand the extra patience and care they sometimes need. ________________________________________ 🐾 Why pet parents choose me • Experience with multiple breeds and temperaments • Comfortable with reactive and special needs dogs • Firsthand experience with seizure care • Cat care expert with volunteer/foster background • Calm, patient, and highly attentive
“Anastasii is fabulous with our dogs! She is very punctual and reliable. We trust her very much to care for our two dogs and she always goes above and beyond.”
“Wow, I can't thank Mia enough for coming to the rescue and watching our furry friend at such short notice! She did an amazing job taking care of our dog and went above and beyond to get to him as soon as possible . Not only did she provide excellent care, but she also kept us updated with adorable pictures of our pup.We felt at ease knowing our furry family member was in such capable hands. We highly recommend Mia to anyone in need of a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you again for everything!”
“They were punctual, reliable, and provided personalized care, taking time to understand my dog's needs and routines. The regular updates and adorable photos were a nice touch, offering peace of mind. In short, if you want a dog walker who treats your pup like family,Keith is the way to go. I highly recommend their services.”

“Aylia was extremely communicative, catered to our shy dogs needs, and responsible. I could tell she is used to working with skittish dogs and is willing to give them the space they need to feel safe. She did have an unforeseen emergency arise during our scheduled walks but she notified me quickly and Rover actually gave a credit for the trouble of finding a second sitter last minute. I would definitely rebook her if we need another walker!”

“Anniruda & Isha watched our senior dog Zephyr. At intake Anniruda was very thorough with questions about our doggo. They went out of their way to ensure Zephyr’s comfort during her stay. She was all tuckered out by the time we picked her up. Thank you for providing such diligent care to our dog!”
“Grace is beyond amazing! She is extremely communicative, consistently giving us updates and pictures of Valentina. Very loving and kind towards our dog gave her really nice attention and daily walks. Great!”
About: Firm yet loving care for all dogs, specializing in puppy training, high energy, hiking/running, and managing complex medical needs like seizures, food sensitivities, and limited mobility. Currently working from home with flexible time which allows me to integrate training, walks, play time, and medical monitoring throughout the day, while weekends are dedicated to long runs/walks and trail hikes.

“My lab mix Steinbeck had a great relaxed time at his first overnight stretch (3 nights and days) at Camp Mita, after previously spending several good doggy daycare days there. He is a rescue with a trauma history so he can become quite nervous when I am away-- but not so at all when with MIta and family!--who gave him so much TLC as well as lovely walks. MIta's calm and friendly older yellow lab also clearly was a very reassuring presence to him. I loved receiving the gracious daily photos so I could see how "at home" he was making himself. He came home completely grounded. I was able to enjoy my time away so much more because he clearly enjoyed his time with Madhumita. Thanks for your attentiveness to a sensitive dog, Mita!”
“Kelly and her partner were great! Dottie came home happy and seemed like she had a good time. They were flexible when we had to unexpectedly do a later pickup time. Thank you Kelly!!”
“Kekw had a great time with Jifu. He really enjoyed playing with their dog Joki and was comfortable enough to relax and eat most of his food. One thing I was especially happy with was that Kekw came home quite clean!! Usually Kekw will get really dirty with boarders so I'm really happy about this.”
“It was my dog’s first time boarding, so he started anxious. But Sofiya took care of him wonderfully, I think he left with good memory!! Also, thank you for pictures of Sammy with big smile 😊”
“My Cooper stayed with Azadeh for a week and had a wonderful stay. She was very responsive and provided daily updates. He looked so happy playing fetch and on daily walks. I will definitely book again. Thank you Azadeh!”
About: I grew up with dogs in the family, so caring for them is second nature. My daughters share that love, and our whole house lights up when there's a dog in it. We travel too much to have one of our own, which is why we'd rather build lasting relationships with a few special dogs whose families need occasional help. I'm semi-retired with a fully flexible schedule, and I only take one or two bookings a month, so your dog gets my attention for the vast majority of each day. And I never book more than one dog at a time. I'm super active myself, so I love taking dogs on hikes, and on trail runs if they're up for it. Whatever your dog's energy level, they'll come home tired from exercising and happy from a day of new smells. I charge more than most sitters here, and the reason is simple: your dog gets a whole family's attention, real daily workouts, playmates, and steady, caring company from an experienced handler. Every dollar goes to my daughters — half as pay for the help they provide, half into their college funds. I'm happy (and actually prefer) to do a meet and greet at my house prior to confirming a booking. If we sound like the right fit for your pup, then please reach out! **For the Dog Walking service listed at $120/walk** — that's not for the standard 30-minute Rover walk, but rather up to 120 minutes/10 miles of hiking/trail running. I'd pick up and put your pup in the back of my SUV, drive to a preserve nearby (Foothill Park in Palo Alto, for example), and then drop your pup off. Given I'm semi-retired and work from home on a flexible schedule, pet care can always fit naturally into my whole day — not just the edges of it. Your dog won't be waiting for attention: mornings can start with a long walk/hike or run and midday means play and company rather than an empty house. On the weekends, after school, on holidays, and during summer break, my daughters will shower your pup with love and attention. Safety comes first. We live on a large lot in Los Altos with fully fenced front and back yards, so there's plenty of secure space to play and explore. We're minutes from the foothills, with easy access to great hiking trails, and I have the proper equipment to transport your pup safely. In our home, your dog is treated as part of the family: supervised play, a consistent routine for meals, walks, and rest, and someone home all day, so dogs are never alone. On outings, dogs stay leashed unless you've told me otherwise, and I match the pace and distance to your dog's fitness and the weather, while ensuring your dog is hydrated. I'm happy to follow your routine exactly — feeding, medications, sleeping arrangements, house rules, etc. You'll get regular photo and video updates, so you always know your pup is safe and happy.
“Peanut had his trial day with Shannon today and everything went great. She took wonderful care of him, kept us updated with lots of photos, and made us feel very comfortable the whole time. We could see that he was happy and well cared for. We will definitely book with her again in the future”
“once again, a fabulous stay for my pup Jessie. I am completely at ease about her well-being when she is with Jennifer. My only concern is that Jessie won't want to come home with me, as life is so good with Jennifer and her son.”
“Thank you Manli for taking such good care of Finn! He had such a good time he is very tired today. And thank you for the cute photos.. looks like he made some new friends. Also we appreciate you watching him on rather short notice and allowing is to pick him up late. We really appreciate it.”
“Finding Margaret was a god send! We have a reactive dog who isn't always friendly and finding people who can handle a dog like that is not always easy. After searching through hundreds of Rover profiles I finally found Margaret and I'm so glad I did! We had a lovely phone chat about Max and his behaviors as well as the style of training/handling we prefer (she is familiar with and willing to work with all sorts of styles). After our chat we setup a meet and greet and Max did so well with her from the get go - not even a peep out of him when they met! He quickly bonded with her and was more than happy to work with her right off the bat. She even had him meet some of her dogs (which he handled well too!). It was clear Margaret knew exactly what she was doing and had the confidence to put Max (and me!) at ease. After the meet and greet we setup an overnight boarding session to really see how Max would do - and it went so well! Margaret was incredibly communicative and gave us updates as she slowly introduced Max to her other dogs, took him on walks, and just generally kept us informed how he was handling his new environment. I was extremely impressed with how smoothly everything went and I felt so comfortable knowing Max was in good hands. I would absolutely recommend Margaret for any sort of "special needs" dogs in a heartbeat! Your dog is in safe and caring hands.”
“Wow, what a fantastic experience! Sharry is an incredible host and is everything you'd want in a dog host. She was a great communicator, sent tons of pics and videos, was very attentive to my dogs, brushed them, and they were so happy and tired when we picked them up!”
“Joy was both skillful and easygoing when we left our dog Lila with her and her family. I got photos of Lila snuggling on the sofa, and Joy had a great outdoor space for her dogs and mine to play.”
“Kathryn and Jason were amazing pet sitters for our labradoodle while we were away! Great communications, easy to schedule drop off/ pick up, and most importantly they were very caring for our pup. She clearly had a great time with them. We will definitely book with them again!”
