“Hannah was puppy perfection from start to finish! Upon meeting Hank she was professional and friendly, my 4.5 month old chocolate lab puppy greeted her as if they had know each other for months. Hannah was easy to work with for the pickup and roof and sent me messages and pics throughout his stay with her. She kept him physically active and was willing to take any any special requests I needed for Hank. I definitely would recommend Hannah to friends and family and will be contacting her next time I need some help with Hank!”
“We had a really nice experience with Saeedhe taking care of Winter. She truly enjoys what she does and genuinely loves dogs, Winter was happy and we would definitely love for her to take care of him again in the future!”
About: I've had a dog for 15 years. Friends and family have relied on me to pet sit, walk, feed, and/or check in on their fur babies. Currently job searching so have all the free time in the world to look after your dogs! They will be my number one priority when they are in my care! I live in a home with a fenced yard and very safe, walkable neighborhood. I am available for whatever service needed, including pet-sitting, walking, check-ins, feedings, etc.
“This was our first time leaving our Carly with anyone other than family and the first time ever leaving her this long (8 nights!). It is very clear that Sondra and Kirk are huge animal lovers and we felt comfortable leaving our "baby" in their care. Sondra was very communicative and Carly came home happy and exhausted :)”
“Radhika was very attentive and in tune with my dog’s needs. You can tell that she genuinely loves what she does and is incredibly knowledgeable about behavior and care. She also sends lots of updates and pictures, so you never have to worry! Highly recommend.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog received from this wonderful couple. They truly went above and beyond—taking him on long walks every day and treating him like one of their own. Our pup came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. They also shared lots of photos throughout, which gave us peace of mind and made us feel connected while we were away. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, attentive, and caring dog sitters!”
“Annie is amazing and so good with our dog. We’ve never left our pets with anyone and she made us feel at ease and comfortable leaving him with someone we trust. Also takes great action shots of our boy.”
“Lorelle was super responsive and took great care of our dogs. We got daily pictures of them having fun and knew they were in great hands while we were away. Thanks again!”
“Jocelyn was amazing with my boy Blu. She accommodated me and my last minute plans and my dog had such a wonderful weekend with her. I loved how she sent update photos throughout my trip which put my mind at ease. Thank you so much Jocelyn. Blu misses you already!!”
“This was the best experience for us and our Golden. We were sent pics and videos continuously. Your pup will be loved and catered to as much as you do if not more. We will def use this family again. I”
“My dog Chloe seems so calm and happy since having stayed with Daley for 4 days. This was my first time booking with Daley. She seems very knowledgeable about dogs and has such a calm demeanor about her. I would definitely book with her again.”
“After picking up Tanuki, I could tell she had a wonderful time with Sandra and her family. Sandra did a great job making sure Tanuki was comfortable and well taken care of, and sent me updates with pictures daily. It also warms my heart that Mocha and Tanuki became fast friends! Thank you for Tanuki's fun-filled weekend!!”
“My wife and I booked with Banafshe for a long weekend trip, after our go-to dog sitter was unavailable. We are happy we did. Before the sit, Banafshe was courteous and timely in replying to our handful of messages with questions. She was gracious enough to allow us to bring Huxley over for a quick meetup with her and her lovely family), before the scheduled stay. Banafshe followed up with us the day of to confirm what time we would be dropping Huxley off. Unexpectedly, our pup had a tooth pulled prior to the boarding, and Banafshe was very helpful in ensuring Huxley received his medication (in his food). Throughout the time of the boarding she provided thoughtful updates and photos and was very responsive. She checked in with us to confirm when we would be picking up Huxley and made sure his items we left with her, were in his bag. 10/10. We would trust her and her family with our furbaby again and I highly recommend. 🥰”
“We had a wonderful experience! Connor was very responsive, communicative, and professional from start to finish. Most importantly, he took excellent care of Tucker, ensuring he was comfortable, happy, and well looked after while we were away. We highly recommend his services and would gladly book with him again.”
“Chalie enjoyed his staycation with the Thu and family. We received good communication and pictures throughout his stay. They were even flexible as we ran a bit late on pickup.”
“Tara was exceptional. 5++++. We were in town visiting family (no dogs were allowed in the rental house.) Tara made pick up and drop off super quick and efficient and our pup even came home with a new toy!!! She kept me updated With videos and pictures. I felt 100% confident leaving my dog with her And will definitely use her again when we are in town.”
“Anu has checked in on my dog multiple times to feed him and take him on walks. She is always very detailed in her updates on how he is doing and he loves her visits! I had a last minute change and needed someone to watch my dog for two nights. She didn’t hesitate to take him into her home and took such great care of him. She sent updates and photos of long walks they went on and how he was getting along. My dog can be very anxious in certain situations, but he was so comfortable with her and at her home! Will definitely be booking again.”
“Oakley had a fun 11-nt stay with Michael and Shameza! This is the longest we've left Oakley and he was well taken care of with lots of attn from Micahel , Shameza , their adorable kids and furry friend Shaggy!”

“I had a last-minute request, and Daniel responded promptly and came to the rescue! He was very professional from checking in with me a few hours before to ask if I had any special preferences and to learn any details about my two precious doodles. The pups liked him right away and Daniel took good care of them, doing the two walks I requested and staying with them and playing with them. He’s sweet, polite, and professional. I’ll definitely request him again in the future!”
“Mackenna was an amazing sitter, she did a great job watching my cats and made me feel relaxed and comfortable knowing they were in good hands. She communicated well with me and was caring and attentive of my pets. I highly recommend if you are needing a sitter!”

“Seren did a wonderful job taking care of my cat! She was reliable, caring, and kept me updated with messages and photos. I came home to a very happy cat. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter.”
“Kaitlyn was absolutely wonderful with my cat, Frances! He’s pretty shy around people he doesn’t know, so I was nervous leaving him, but he warmed right up to her, which says a lot. Kaitlyn sent plenty of pictures and updates throughout my trip, which gave me so much peace of mind. When I got home, my house was spotless and Frances was happy and relaxed. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will 100% be booking with Kaitlyn again in the future.”
“Patty did check in visits with our cat twice a day for two weeks. Our cat is quite anxious and I was worried about leaving her but I quickly felt at ease knowing that Patty was coming twice a day and communicating regularly with lots of detail about how the cat was doing and everything else related to the house. Patty went above and beyond, offering to bring in packages and checking the house for accidents. I would highly recommend hiring her to care for your pets, she is loving and patient and reliable. We will definitely be hiring her again”
“My cat LOVED Jacqueline!!! My cat is very picky and she was absolutely right at home & happy as can be. Jacqueline sent me pictures every single day and that have me so much peace of mind because I could tell Lily was super comfortable & getting lots of love and attention. I highly recommend Jacqueline!”
“We can't recommend Kaitlyn enough! She took amazing care of our 9-year-old Ragdoll, who has special needs, and went above and beyond in every way. Not only did she ensure he was well-fed, comfortable, and given his medication on time, but she also showered him with love and attention, keeping him happy while we were away. Our cat had a litter box accident, and without hesitation, Kaitlyn gave him a bath and made sure he was clean, comfortable, and stress-free again—something not every cat sitter would be willing to do! On top of that, she took it upon herself to look after our home, making sure everything was in order. We returned to a clean, well-cared-for space and, most importantly, a content and relaxed cat! She kept us updated with messages and photos, giving us peace of mind throughout our trip. If you're looking for a truly dedicated, compassionate, and reliable pet sitter, Kaitlyn is the one to call!”
“We could not be happier we found Camille to take care of our babies while we’re away. She cares for and loves them as if they are her own, which gives us great peace of mind when we need to leave them. We will absolutely be repeat customers again & again ❤️”
About: Hi! I have two dogs of my own and have lots of experience. My first dog I’ve had for 9 years and the other we just got last year and he is 1!

I will gladly help at clients homes and care for them as needed:)

“Ted had a wonderful time with Sondra and Kirk. They were so easy to communicate with and just the nicest people! 10/10 would recommend. We will definitely be back for future stays.”
“I let Todd take care Foxy for the second time. It seems that Foxy likes him and feel comfortable around him. I have very good feelings too and will be his client whenever Foxy needs care. He always updates me with nice photos, and I am very grateful for that. God bless him and his family for being nice to my baby.”

About: I've always had dogs and love taking them on hikes and walks. I currently have an Australian Sheapard and she loves friends and lots of walks. Mornings are best but flexible. Easy drop off and pick up from Oso Grande park or dog park in Ladera Ranch. Looking forward to meeting your pup! I have a fenced yard but mostly will be out walking and going to the dog park. I love the trails in Ladera, they are great for dogs.
“Ailen was kind, reliable, and incredibly helpful throughout my dog's entire stay. She took great care of my dog, kept me updated, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend her and would definitely book with her again.”
About: I grew up in a dog-loving family. My dad is a retired police K9 handler, so I’ve been around well-trained working dogs as well as family pets my whole life. I’m very comfortable with large, high-energy breeds (my family currently has two Catahoulas), but I also have plenty of experience with small dogs, like Dachshunds and Frenchies. I’m confident handling a wide range of personalities and sizes, and I’m experienced with giving medications when needed. My background gives me a calm, reliable approach that helps pets feel safe and cared for. I’m currently a student at UCLA finishing up my degree, and I keep a consistent schedule that leaves me with plenty of free time in the mornings and evenings. That flexibility makes it easy for me to fit in walks, drop-ins, or playtime, and I love having animals as part of my daily routine. I always follow each pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and cared for. In a client’s home, that means respecting their space while keeping pets happy, fed, and exercised just as their owners would. I make sure they get plenty of attention, walks, and playtime, and I’m attentive to details like feeding instructions, medications, and favorite toys. I also keep in touch with regular updates and photos so you can feel confident while you’re away.
“Another awesome play day for my little Caleb with Annie! The progress pics during the day make me smile and feel at peace knowing Caleb is so well taken care of. Warms my heart. Thank you, Annie!”
“Claudia was very kind and responsible with our Golden girl. We are always nervous about leaving her for the first time, but Claudia was very loving and sent photos showing how happy and relaxed she was. We came home to a happy, tired pup. Highly recommend.”
“Our dog’s stay with Anu was great. He’s an anxious dog and can be weary of strangers but he had a good time staying with Anu at her house. When I picked up Fox he was relaxed and happy. She was accommodating and super easy to coordinate with. We’d happily leave him with Anu again.”
About: Whether your dog is a calm senior who needs a gentle touch or an active energetic youngster, I offer a nurturing, calm home and will give your pet lots of attention and love. I am retired, so I am able to be home most of the day to spend time with your dog. I have primarily sat for friends and family in the past and understand how important it is to find someone you can completely trust with your family member. I am excited to open my home to offer loving care and attention for your pet. My husband is also usually home and is good at painting pet portraits as an extra service! I offer daytime daycare, overnight stays in my home, energetic walks, or drop-in visits to keep your pet comfortable in their own space. I enjoy two beautiful Grandcats that belong to my daughter and would love to visit your cats, birds in your home up to twice a day. I am retired, so I am able to be home most of the day with your pet. I enjoy walking and would love to walk your dog. I am also happy to do home drop ins up to 2 times per day for your dogs, cats or birds, and will follow whatever routine your animal requires! I adapt easily to whatever your dog needs to thrive. They will be treated as a member of the family. I prefer one dog at a time in my home for daycare or spending the night. I have a fenced back yard for playing, and a comfortable home for your dog to be in. I will walk the dog at least twice a day to Valyermo Park which is near my home. More energetic dogs can join me walking the Oso Creek Trail, which I walk regularly. I can walk your dog in your neighborhood , or drop-in visits to keep your pet (dog, cat, birds)comfortable in their own space.
About: Hi! I’m a caring and dependable dog lover offering a safe, loving home for your pup while you’re away. I have a secure fenced yard for playtime, plenty of attention, and a calm home environment. Your dog will be treated like family, with love, supervision, walks, and lots of care.  I can provide updates and photos so you can feel at ease while your pet is with me. I’d love to meet your furry family member! I work from home and I have a flexible schedule that allows me to check on your furry family members whenever needed. Majority of my weekends are open and I'm available during holidays. I have a decent sized fenced in back yard. Inside my home there are lots of chairs to cuddle up on for a snooze or some pets.
About: I love dogs . Since I was a child I have grown up with pets... I would love the opportunity to care for you pet . I prefer dogs who are potty trained, and for male dogs that don’t urinate or “mark” in my home by peeing everywhere , but will work with your dogs and care for them as my own. Also PLEASE NO DROP OFFS before 7:00 am and NO PICKUPS after 9:30 pm, otherwise, that would require another day's booking. No normal KENNEL or doggy daycare operates 24/7. I’m not a hotel open 24/7. I also do need to sleep and have other obligations . If you have an early morning flight or late night flight, please accommodate accordingly between my hours of operation :7:00 am to 9:30 pm. Please be respectful of peoples times and schedules. I am sure you wouldn’t want people coming to your door at 11pm or midnight to get their pet. What you will get from me you won’t get at a commercial doggy daycare is that I don’t watch a ton of dogs! Usually 1-2 dogs MAX at a time. That way your pup is getting personalized attention. I only do this because this is not my main business and enjoy watching a few pets at a time because I like having dogs around me since my lovely Jack Russell died a few years back of old age and I miss having a pet around. I work from home most days so can watch your dog and give the necessary supervision your pet needs! Thanks and look forward to your reply! I look forward to watching your fur baby! Work remote from home most time during weekdays so can accommodate watching your pet during the day and evenings . Will be around your pet often. Fenced area secured gate- dogs can’t escape plus I keep dogs inside my home and near me so they will be very safe with me.

“Daniel was great. Very responsive and flexible with the booking. Shujaa quickly made him her BFF. We both look forward to making Daniel part of our regular routine. Thank you Daniel”
“Taylor has been great with our very large dog. He is so excited when he sees her and she is always upfront when she needs to adjust her regular schedule. Would highly recommend!”
“Hanna has been so wonderful with my pup, Moose! She is very considerate and patient wih my dog and me. Always considering that I adopted him recently and his temperment was still unknown when she first started walking him. She over communicates and always sends lots of photos. 110% recommend Hanna to walk your dog! She is the best!”
“I can’t say enough great things about David! He is patient, reliable, kind, and truly goes above and beyond. Our foster dog Lady is a very large, hyper terrier mix with little structure or social skills, and she can be overwhelming for most people. David has never been intimidated by her and always shows up with a smile, ready to give her the best care. Lady absolutely adores him — even when she gets overly excited and jumps all over him, he handles it like a total pro. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing my pets are in such loving, capable hands. We will absolutely continue using David for Lady and any future foster dogs!”
“Eve is great! She was on time and handled Cheetos very well. Cheetos is a very fearful and very afraid of strangers. Eve calmed her down and won her trust with some bribery. It's so great to have a perfect dog walker/sitter nearby! Thank you Eve!”
“Carolyn is responsive, communicated clearly, was punctual and patient with Cheetos who takes some time to trust strangers. I am so glad to have found a great dog sitter nearby!”
“I would gladly recommend Kayla to anyone needing dog walking/pet sitting services,. My dog Jack can be a bit stubborn and grumpy (he is a terrier), but Kayla, with the help of a few treats, won him over. She is dependable, friendly and loves dogs. I was nervous, trying to find a new dog walker. You just hope you pick the right person. Kayla was the right pick. Will definitely use her services again.”

“Kimberly was so wonderful with our German Shepherd mix. Her calm demeanor was perfect for him!! She was also reliable and very prompt every single time for his daily walks!”
About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with German Shepherds, a Cocker Spaniel, and a mixed-breed dog. Later, when I started my own family, we welcomed Fiera, our Labrador Retriever. She grew up alongside my children—they were like siblings and partners in crime. If you’ve ever had a Lab, you know exactly what I mean. 😁 When Fiera was about five years old, Glitch, our little Shihpoo, joined the family. Fiera crossed the Rainbow Bridge at 13, and we still miss her every day. 💗 Making your pup feel safe and cared for is my priority. If your dog isn’t acting like themselves, isn’t eating normally, or just seems “off,” I’ll notice and I’ll let you know. I’m comfortable following detailed instructions, whether it’s feeding routines, walks, medications, or special care. I have experience giving oral medications, eye and ear medications, topical treatments, and subcutaneous injections when prescribed by a veterinarian. When I’m caring for your dog, I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages. While you’re away, I’m also happy to bring in mail and packages, water indoor or outdoor plants, rotate lights if requested, and help keep your home looking lived-in. Just let me know what you need, and I’ll do my best to help. 🐾 Health & Safety For the health and safety of all pets in my home, all dogs staying with me must be current on veterinarian-recommended vaccinations and on an active flea and tick prevention program. I understand that some dogs may be unable to receive certain vaccines or use standard flea/tick preventatives for medical reasons. If your dog has a documented medical restriction, please let me know before booking so we can discuss your veterinarian’s recommendations and determine whether I can safely accommodate your pet. All boarding guests must arrive flea- and tick-free. If fleas or ticks are discovered during your dog’s stay, I will contact you before administering any treatment. The pet parent will be responsible for the cost of any approved treatment, as well as a $100 flea cleaning fee to cover the additional cleaning and sanitizing required in my home. Any extraordinary professional pest-control expenses resulting from an active infestation may also be the pet parent’s responsibility. Please also let me know in advance about any medical conditions, medication sensitivities, vaccine reactions, allergies, or other important health information. ❤️ I’m currently completing professional training from home, so I spend most of my day at home. This allows me to provide consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of companionship for the pets in my care. Our home is shared with our small dog, Glitch, and our indoor cat, Vinnie. Both are important members of our family. Glitch enjoys having canine visitors, and he has always done well with dogs in our home. To keep everyone safe and comfortable, I carefully introduce dogs and only accept dogs that are friendly with cats. We have a fully fenced yard. I’m happy to accommodate your dog’s normal routine, including using a crate if they’re already crate trained and comfortable with it.
About: Thanks for visiting my profile! I was born and raised in Switzerland where I grew up with 5 different types of pets at a time, including 1 Border Collie and 5 rescue cats. I have lived abroad for the past 10 years and I have been in the US for the past 4. My husband and I own an Australian Shepherd that we rescued in a shelter in Brooklyn, New York. We've been using Rover as clients and it is now the time that I switch sides. My husband and I work from home so they will always be someone to take care of your pet. Our Australian Shepherd wakes up around 7:00 a.m. and we feed him twice a day and go out three times a day in the neighborhood, and sometimes we even go to the beach in our EV where he has a dedicated space that he can share. We live in a quiet neighborhood in the three bedroom house where we have plenty of space for dogs and cats (2,000 sqft). We actually have so much space that we have three beds for our dog excluding the sofa and our bed :)
“Kristie is outstanding! She was extremely patient with my reactive and fearful dog, spent a lot of time getting to know her, and make her feel safe and comfortable. She has obviously a lot of experience handling dogs and I would highly recommend her!”
“Laura took good care of our Coco while we were away for a week - walked and played with her, gave her food and medicine, also willing to get our mail and kept us up to date. Felt like our girl was in good hands!!”
About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life. I have owned big dogs (Dalmatian and Golden Retrievers) as well as small dogs (Poodle mix). Taking care of dogs is a privilege because they give so much back to you. I am currently working part time from home with flexible hours so I will have plenty of time to look after your pet. I can adjust my schedule accordingly to fit into your desired needs I have a fenced yard but it would have to be up to my roommates to see if I could house your dog for a period of time
About: Hi! I have two dogs of my own and have lots of experience. My first dog I’ve had for 9 years and the other we just got last year and he is 1! I have experience with old dogs and puppies and lots of different personalities! My dogs health and wellbeing are so important to me so I hope I can share and helps with other dogs! I currently work a part-time job so I have time to help with and care for your pets! I can also be very flexible if needed! I will only come to clients homes because of my two dogs at home. I want to make sure your pets are in the best possible place and want to keep my dogs safe as well just in case their personalities don’t match! I will gladly help at clients homes and care for them as needed:)
About: What sets me apart is that pet care has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. 🐾🤍 I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was around 10 years old—starting with my own pets and helping friends and neighbors, and eventually turning that lifelong love into professional pet care. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with pets of different ages, personalities, energy levels, and needs—from playful puppies and high-energy dogs to shy or anxious pets and sweet seniors who need a slower pace and a little extra patience. 🥰 I also have professional experience through Wag! and my own pet care business, where I’ve built wonderful relationships with both pets and their families. One of the biggest compliments I can receive is when a pet parent specifically requests me again—and I’m incredibly grateful to have repeat and recurring clients who trust me with their furry family members. 💕 I’m especially attentive to the little things. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, body language, personality, comfort level, and preferences rather than treating every pet the same. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering routine medications when needed, caring for senior pets, reinforcing owner-provided commands and routines, and giving nervous or shy pets the patience they need to warm up at their own pace. I’m also a bit of an over-communicator in the best way. 😂📸 You can expect pictures, updates, and little check-ins so you don’t have to spend your time away wondering how your baby is doing. At the end of the day, I don’t want to be just another sitter your pet stays with. I want to become someone your pet recognizes, gets excited to see, and your family feels completely comfortable trusting again and again. 🐶🐱🤍 Pet care isn’t something I squeeze into my schedule—it’s already a big part of my everyday life. 🐾🤍 I work from home and have built my routine around caring for pets, which means your furry family member gets plenty of attention, companionship, and love while they’re with me. I regularly care for pets through walks, drop-ins, sittings, and boarding, both through Wag! and my own pet care business, so there’s rarely a day that doesn’t involve a happy tail, a long walk, or a little extra fur on my clothes. 😂 One of my favorite parts of pet care is getting to know each pet’s little personality and routine. Some want adventures and playtime, some want endless cuddles, and some just want a calm person nearby who makes them feel safe. I adjust my care to your pet, rather than expecting every pet to fit the same routine. I’m big on keeping feeding times, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications, and all those little habits as close to home as possible. And yes—you can absolutely expect pictures and updates along the way! 📸🐶🐱 Most importantly, I want your pet to feel like they’re spending time with someone who genuinely loves having them around—not like they’re simply being “watched.” My goal is for you to leave feeling comfortable and for your pet to leave happy, loved, and maybe just a tiny bit spoiled. 🥰🐾 Whether I’m welcoming your pet into my home or caring for them in the comfort of theirs, my goal is the same: make them feel safe, loved, comfortable, and as close to their normal routine as possible. 🐾🤍 I know every pet has their own personality and little way of doing things. Some are ready to be best friends within five minutes, while others need a little patience and space before deciding I’ve earned their approval. 😂 I take the time to learn what makes your pet happiest and adjust my care around them. In your home, I follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible—from feeding and potty breaks to walks, playtime, medications, bedtime routines, and all the little details that make home feel like home. I’m also very respectful of your space and make sure everything stays clean, calm, and cared for while you’re away. In my home, I want pets to feel less like they’re being boarded and more like they’re having their own little staycation. 🏡🐶 They get plenty of attention, affection, walks, playtime, enrichment, and downtime depending on what they enjoy. Since I work from home, I’m around throughout the day to provide companionship and help them settle in comfortably. I have hands-on experience caring for pets through Wag! platform, my own pet care business, and years of caring for pets belonging to friends, family, and myself. That experience has introduced me to all kinds of personalities, ages, energy levels, routines, and special care needs—and taught me that there’s definitely no “one-size-fits-all” approach to pet care. And of course, expect plenty of pictures and updates! 📸💕 I want you to enjoy your time away without wondering how your furry family member is doing. At the end of the day, I want your pet to feel safe, happy, loved, and maybe just a little spoiled—and I want you to have complete peace of mind knowing they’re being cared for like family. 🐾

“Hannah was puppy perfection from start to finish! Upon meeting Hank she was professional and friendly, my 4.5 month old chocolate lab puppy greeted her as if they had know each other for months. Hannah was easy to work with for the pickup and roof and sent me messages and pics throughout his stay with her. She kept him physically active and was willing to take any any special requests I needed for Hank. I definitely would recommend Hannah to friends and family and will be contacting her next time I need some help with Hank!”
“Emely was great! She even picked up our pup for us and brought him to her house. She was in very frequent communication with updates and photos the whole time! Our minds were at ease about our fur baby the whole time we were traveling! Thank you Emely! See you next time :)”
“We left our two pup's with Chris for three weeks. His intake process was very through so he really understood our dogs and our expectation's/concerns. Throughout our time away Chris updated us with comments, photos and videos. We were comfortable the dogs were safe and being very well taken care of. Chris is really into dogs. He is very knowledgeable about their needs and behavioral issues. His two dogs are very friendly and well behaved so our pets and yours enjoy being part of a pack while being away from you. Fred Ehlers”

“This was our first time leaving our Carly with anyone other than family and the first time ever leaving her this long (8 nights!). It is very clear that Sondra and Kirk are huge animal lovers and we felt comfortable leaving our "baby" in their care. Sondra was very communicative and Carly came home happy and exhausted :)”
“Radhika was very attentive and in tune with my dog’s needs. You can tell that she genuinely loves what she does and is incredibly knowledgeable about behavior and care. She also sends lots of updates and pictures, so you never have to worry! Highly recommend.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog received from this wonderful couple. They truly went above and beyond—taking him on long walks every day and treating him like one of their own. Our pup came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. They also shared lots of photos throughout, which gave us peace of mind and made us feel connected while we were away. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, attentive, and caring dog sitters!”
“This was the best experience for us and our Golden. We were sent pics and videos continuously. Your pup will be loved and catered to as much as you do if not more. We will def use this family again. I”
“My wife and I booked with Banafshe for a long weekend trip, after our go-to dog sitter was unavailable. We are happy we did. Before the sit, Banafshe was courteous and timely in replying to our handful of messages with questions. She was gracious enough to allow us to bring Huxley over for a quick meetup with her and her lovely family), before the scheduled stay. Banafshe followed up with us the day of to confirm what time we would be dropping Huxley off. Unexpectedly, our pup had a tooth pulled prior to the boarding, and Banafshe was very helpful in ensuring Huxley received his medication (in his food). Throughout the time of the boarding she provided thoughtful updates and photos and was very responsive. She checked in with us to confirm when we would be picking up Huxley and made sure his items we left with her, were in his bag. 10/10. We would trust her and her family with our furbaby again and I highly recommend. 🥰”
“We had a wonderful experience! Connor was very responsive, communicative, and professional from start to finish. Most importantly, he took excellent care of Tucker, ensuring he was comfortable, happy, and well looked after while we were away. We highly recommend his services and would gladly book with him again.”
“Chalie enjoyed his staycation with the Thu and family. We received good communication and pictures throughout his stay. They were even flexible as we ran a bit late on pickup.”
“Had such a wonderful experience with Claudia, felt as though she looked after slinky as her own pet. The home environment was calm and pet proofed. I highly recommend Claudia for your pet”
“Anu has checked in on my dog multiple times to feed him and take him on walks. She is always very detailed in her updates on how he is doing and he loves her visits! I had a last minute change and needed someone to watch my dog for two nights. She didn’t hesitate to take him into her home and took such great care of him. She sent updates and photos of long walks they went on and how he was getting along. My dog can be very anxious in certain situations, but he was so comfortable with her and at her home! Will definitely be booking again.”
“So Thankful for the fabulous care Rudy received! He is exhausted from all the fun he had with his new friends! I'm so glad I have such a wonderful home where Rudy can go when I am out of town. I only hope they are available in the future! I loved all the pictures of Rudy and his friends! Thanks!”
About: Thanks for visiting my profile! I was born and raised in Switzerland where I grew up with 5 different types of pets at a time, including 1 Border Collie and 5 rescue cats. I have lived abroad for the past 10 years and I have been in the US for the past 4. My husband and I own an Australian Shepherd that we rescued in a shelter in Brooklyn, New York. We've been using Rover as clients and it is now the time that I switch sides. My husband and I work from home so they will always be someone to take care of your pet. Our Australian Shepherd wakes up around 7:00 a.m. and we feed him twice a day and go out three times a day in the neighborhood, and sometimes we even go to the beach in our EV where he has a dedicated space that he can share. We live in a quiet neighborhood in the three bedroom house where we have plenty of space for dogs and cats (2,000 sqft). We actually have so much space that we have three beds for our dog excluding the sofa and our bed :)

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and now share my home with a sweet, calm Golden Retriever who loves making new friends. She enjoys cozy naps, gentle play, and relaxed companionship with other dogs. I work from home, so your pup will have attentive company throughout the day. They can enjoy supervised time in my secure fenced backyard, along with potty breaks, affection, gentle play, and plenty of restful downtime indoors. I’ll follow your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible and send photo updates so you can see they are safe, comfortable, and enjoying their day. My home is best suited to calm dogs with low to medium energy who enjoy a quieter pace. I want every pup, including my own, to feel relaxed and comfortable, so I’m a particularly good fit for dogs who like gentle play, cozy naps, and a peaceful day with caring company. I work from home full time, so your dog will have attentive company throughout the day. My calm Golden Retriever, Gigi, enjoys gentle play, cozy naps, and spending time with other easygoing dogs. Your dog will stay in a calm, comfortable home with access to a secure fenced backyard with artificial turf. I keep the home cool and will be home throughout their stay to supervise, provide care, and make sure they feel settled. I host only one visiting dog at a time, in addition to Gigi, so each guest gets individual attention. This is a great fit for calm dogs with low to medium energy who enjoy gentle companionship.
