“We left our 3+ year dog with Wanda recently. This was our first time trying rover and it seems Wanda loved & pampered our dog a lot! Wanda is in a nice neighborhood in Long beach which made us feel safe leaving our dog with her. She sent pictures throughout & her conversations made us feel she is very experienced with dogs & understands them. Our dog hasn’t been around other dogs so we really appreciated that she only takes 1 client at a time. She made extra effort to make our dog feel comfortable with Gidget as well. We will definitely reach out to Wanda next time we need dog boarding!”
“Merve was a fantastic cat sitter! I highly recommend her. She was very patient, kind, and caring as my anxious kitty took a few days to warm up and get used to his new settings. She took amazing care of my cat, was very easy to communicate with, and I am so grateful as this was the longest amount of time I was ever away from my cat (3 weeks). Thank you, Merve!”
“Isao & Rezairyl made me feel very comfortable while my Gigi was with them. They send photos and updates daily. Gigi is a senior dog and since they also have seniors, they knew exactly what kind of environment she needed to be in and knew exactly how to take care of her. Gigi also got an upset stomach on the first day of drop off, and they reassured me that she was ok and knew exactly how to help fix that problem. I would recommend them to anyone and would definitely book with them again.”
“Our dog Blue had the best time staying with Dianiris and her family. From the get go, Dianiris responded quickly to texts and was very kind and reassuring (I might have been having a little separation anxiety of my own lol). I really appreciated all of the check-ins and photos she sent while Blue was with her too. Dianiris will definitely be our go-to sitter if we are back in the area!”
“Nyessa is simply wonderful! The way she cared for my dog was beyond what I could have hoped for. She’s so gentle, kind, and attentive! it felt like leaving my fur baby with family. I’m so thankful for her kindness and can’t wait to book with her again!”
“Marlo is always amazing with Rufus. He has been with her several times now and she always updates me consistently with picture. I will continue to use her until she says no”
“Corinne and Louis are amazing! You can tell they really care about dogs and they treated Wallie like their own. I was sent several updates and they communicated very well throughout the day. We plan on using them again!”
“Our first time using Rover, and Erin was a pleasure to work with. She communicated well and managed our 2 year old Doberman well. Overall, good experience. Thank you Erin.”
“Amazing! She took care of my dog for three weeks, sent pictures, stuck to her dietary needs, washed her crate and even gave her a bath at no extra charge! I highly recommend her services and would definitely hire her again! Thank you so much!”
“Irene was great with our pups! We would love for her to sit for them in the future. She shared updates while we were on our trip. She reviewed the care document, and knew how to set up their crates and put their complicated harnesses on. Our pups are high energy breeds and but they came home relaxed and content. When we went to pick them up Bone Thug ran back to give Irene a little pup love before leaving. That was the biggest sign of care and happiness to me.”
“I will definitely hire again. Great sitter and photographer, like, seriously, Karina takes great photos of your dog having fun and being take care. Really put my heart at ease while I was out of state. Wonderful sitter.”
“Matthew and Kim were great! They were super friendly, caring, reliable and communicative. After meeting them we felt great about leaving our puppy with them for her first overnight away from us. They kept us updated with pictures and text messages about how she was doing. We feel so fortunate to have found them to take care of our girl!”
“We recently used Soonok as a dog sitter for the first time to care for our senior terrier, and the experience exceeded our expectations. Naturally, we were a bit anxious leaving our older dog in someone else’s care, but Soonok immediately put us at ease. Soonok was incredibly kind, patient, and attentive, taking extra care to accommodate our dog’s needs and pace. What really stood out was the consistent communication—we received daily updates and videos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dog was in great hands and being treated with genuine care and affection. We’re so grateful for the experience and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Soonok to others. We will very likely be using her services again in the future.”
About: i’ve worked with animals over 6 years I have pets of my own so I know that we just want the best for them. I’ve worked with huge pets and small pets and even some with medical conditions so if they need to be accommodated just let me know I am currently working part time so I will be updating my schedule constantly but I will be available on weekdays and even weekends . I want your pet to feel like their in a familiar space so whatever you do to make them feel comfortable I will do my best to match that
“Chrissy is awesome! She took really good care of my very particular, very anxious old dog. He seemed relaxed after spending time with her! Chrissy is communicative and made me feel super at ease. Highly recommend!”
“Fantastic. Marilyn watched our pup throughout the Christmas holiday while we vacationed. He had a better time with her than he would’ve with us! Will absolutely call again.”
“Jill did a great job watching our pug, Beau. She gave us updates each morning and whenever we asked. Beau had plenty of exercise and got lots of love! When we drop Beau off at Jill's we know that he'll be well taken care of, safe, and happy!”

“Kennedy was an excellent pet sitter. Very consistent and thorough in their communication. My cat was quick to warm up to him. Kennedy’s care was top-notch across the board!”
About: I’ve always had pets growing up and have always pet sat for neighbors and friends. I always stick to your pets scheduled routine. I also genuinely love to spend time with pets other than mine. 😊 I’m currently a full time student at csulb studying Biochem, so I have Fridays and weekends pretty much free! I do however have some gaps in between classes that I could squeeze in pet drop ins. My pets along with clients pets usually stick to or have a schedule that I always like to follow as I find this creates the most amount of comfort for them especially while their parent is away. I love to spend time with pets especially now that I am away from my pets back home for college.
“Shelli took great care of my cat! She sent lots of pictures and was very communicative. She was very helpful in troubleshooting a lock issue in which we had to wait for a locksmith to come to my place. She did everything she could to make sure my cat was alright, including coming back late at night to feed him once the lock issue was resolved.”
About: I wouldn't want to assume a cat wants attention just because I’m ready to give it. I’m comfortable with the lap cats, the under-the-bed cats, the “feed me and admire me from over there” cats, and plenty in between. My experience includes senior cats, shy cats, medication, established feeding and litter routines, and multi-pet households. One family has trusted me with their two cats and two dogs around 15 times, and a recent shy cat warmed up to me within just a couple of days during a three-week stay. I pay attention, give them choices and learn their version of normal. Usually, that’s how we become the kind of friends that love meeting each other at the door.
“Mary has been the best cat sitter for my very spoiled cat! She is on time, sends great pictures , spends quality time with lots of love! Also, takes care of our mail! My cat adores her! Mary is awesome!”
“Maiko was super friendly and accommodating. My kitties caused an issue at home and she was very prompt on informing me and help me with the situation. I definitely recommend her and will be requesting for her service again!”
“Jasmine is an amazing sitter. My cats that are pretty standoffish but loved her and would actually play and come out for pets. Great pictures and handled all the messes made.”
“Lucy took great care of Jager to come in & check-in on him when I had a day trip to the office. Jager immediately loved Lucy during the meet-n-great!! Can’t wait to book with Lucy again!!”
About: Hi! I've been taking care of my own cat for 4 years now and my family's cats for 9 years and counting. I specialize in litter box cleaning, kitty enrichment, and lots of love. If you feel that you have an aggressive/reactive kitty - don't fret! I can handle and have handled many aggressive kitties in the past and I'm sure me and your fluff-ball can work past our speciated differences :)
“Erin was wonderful and I’d love to have her back. My cat has had a lot of health issues going on recently and I was very nervous going out of town but felt so much better knowing that he’d be in safe hands! She was a great communicator, very reliable, and my cat was kept healthy and happy. Thanks so much Erin!”
About: I currently have two cats named Ghibli and Kiki, and they are my entire world! Because of them, I understand the importance of having a caring and reliable cat sitter, and I want to be that person for other cat owners. As a cat owner who has also volunteered with rescue cats, I know that every cat has their own personality and needs. Whatever your cat needs, whether it is playtime, enrichment, meals, or just some love and attention, I got you covered. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your cats are in the caring and reliable hands of someone who will treat them like my own. I take instructions seriously and appreciate detailed notes regarding your cat's care so I can make sure they receive the care and routine they are accustomed to. I’ve also dealt with cat medical emergencies before; I know the signs of a cat in distress and will notify you immediately if something seems wrong.
“I can always count on Christopher! He’s great with Rosie especially since she needs some xtra love and care with post surgery and new diet! Thanks Chris!!”
“Christina is great! I’ve booked her several times and she is communicative, trustworthy, and flexible. Always puts me at ease when we’re away and the kitties and tortoise enjoy her company. Highly recommend.”

“Elise is an amazing sitter! she’s very communicative, flexible, & understanding. She makes homemade dog treats & takes plenty of fun photos & videos.

Couldn’t have had a better 1st experience using Rover. So happy to know this amazing person! Highly recommend!”

“Marilyn & Eyon & Erilynn a. took excellent care of our little Chihuahua mix for two days of day care. Our Lola is timid and doesn’t like anything she’s unfamiliar with, but she adjusted to the routine of Marilyn and Erilynn very nicely. We were put at ease with photos and text messages about how Lola was doing in our absence. We put our faith in Marilyn and Erilynn and it was the right thing to do for us and our dog. Thank you for your wonderful service!”
“Matt and Kim were incredible sitters! They sent us the cutest photos of Bogart with their son and made him feel so at home. They walked him and cuddled him (which is the quickest way to Bogart's heart) and treated him like their own <3 We'll definitely be booking with them again :)”
“Lisa has been great with our 7 year old anxious boxer. He is a Velcro dog and Lisa is perfect for him. He gets to snuggle with her all day at day care. I highly recommend Lisa.”
“I can't say enough about how great Michael and Lara are with my senior Boxer Mix. He's now an established guest and he feels so comfortable there, playing with their dog, Teddy, and other dogs they have with them at the time. I feel so confident leaving my dog, Brody, in their care. I cannot recommend them enough...they are the best!”

“Isao and Rezairyl treated my dog with great care and love. My dog has separation anxiety and the made sure to give him the attention he needed and plenty of walks and playtime. Would highly recommend and will book again!”
About: Hi there! I’m a Boston Terrier owner and dog-lover in Belmont Shore. I like to stay active and I would love to take your dog on a walk (my dog is lazy and would rather stay home!). Some places I like to dog-walk are the green belt and the beach path. I’m very experienced in taking care of short-nosed dogs. I can't wait to meet your pup! I work remote so my schedule is very flexible. For daycare, I typically take dogs out for a midday walk and then they can relax in the house or yard while I work. I have a small, fenced front yard that I allow dogs to spend time in with supervision. I have a small dog (Boston Terrier) that will also be in the home if you book daycare. He is very friendly and enjoys other dogs after a few minutes warming up to them!
“Christopher tol good care of my big girl Ula! He was attentive and let her take her time on walks to sniff around! It was comforting getting updates throughout the day to make sure Ula was okay.”
About: Hi! I’m someone who genuinely loves being around dogs and making sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for. I’ve spent years dog sitting and walking for family and friends, caring for dogs with all kinds of personalities and energy levels. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or just extra attention and affection, I’ll make sure they get the care they deserve. I’m reliable, patient, and active, so I truly enjoy getting outside and keeping dogs engaged and happy. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own every time we’re together! As of now, my availability is very open, im willing to work with your schedule! Any time before 7pm on weekends and weekdays just to avoid walking in the dark!

About: I've grown up with cats and dogs all my life and currently have two cats of my own that I've had for years.

I also do my best to ensure they are comfortable and not stressed or upset

About: Hi! I'm Ella, and I have professional experience working with dogs in a daycare and boarding facility. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities and am comfortable providing everything from walks and playtime to feeding, medication, and individualized care. Working in a professional dog-care environment taught me how important it is to pay attention to each dog's individual needs, recognize changes in behavior, and prioritize safety while still making sure every dog feels comfortable and cared for. I’m responsible, communicative, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I’m happy to provide regular photo and message updates so you can feel confident knowing your dog is safe and having a great time while you’re away. I’m currently attending school in the Long Beach area and am looking to build relationships with local pet parents who need a dependable, experienced sitter or walker. I’m currently a student, so my schedule is flexible and allows me to provide pet care throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, daycare, and boarding depending on my class schedule. I’m also available for weekend and holiday bookings when my schedule allows. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and making sure every pet feels comfortable and cared for. I have professional experience working in a dog daycare and boarding facility, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I follow each pet’s individual feeding, medication, exercise, and care instructions closely and pay attention to changes in behavior or health. In a client’s home, I respect their space and routines while keeping their pet’s environment clean and secure. I’m also happy to provide regular photo and message updates so owners can feel confident that their pets are safe and happy.
“Michelle is a lover of pets! We were already out of town when our dog sitter fell through. We were stuck! We reached out to Michelle—who we had never met—and she was willing and eager to help us out when we were really stuck on what to do! She stepped in, cared so much for our sweet dog and treated her like her own while we were gone. She’d send plenty of updates and pics of our pup throughout the service. Helped make sure she had clean water and fresh food. Michelle takes great care of pets and is a trusted lifesaver for our family!”
“Elise really did amazing with my very anxious rescue dog. She went above and beyond. She clearly has a gift for working with animals. I would highly recommend her for petsitting/dog walking. Five stars!”
About: Hi I'm Lucy! I'm a lifelong dog lover who grew up with two Lab/Shepard mixes my whole life and 7 years of experience of dog care! I'm a huge dog lover, and this past year my husband and I adopted a German Shepard/Great Pyrenes/Aussie named Bodhi from the animal shelter - and he's my best friend! I have experience training dogs of different breeds and can read dog body language very well. With my dog, I have done extensive training including potty training, basic commands, recall, E-collar training, and more! When taking care of your pup, I treat them as my own and make sure I tailor my services to what works best for them. As a fellow dog owner, I understand how important your guidelines and expectations are for your pup, and their safety and happiness are my top priority. I understand how hard it can be to work full time while having your furry bff at home. Whether you have a young pup or old soul, I'd love to help you take care of them so can have peace of mind and they can have fun! I'm currently working part time and obtaining a yoga teacher certification, so I have plenty of free time! I'm my schedule is free on Monday-Thursday for hours between 6am- 6pm. I am not available for any Friday-Sunday work due to my yoga teacher training. I love taking my dog to the dog beach at Long Beach and as well as going on long walks! When I'm caring for your pups, I make sure they will get plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. As a dog owner of a very active breed, I know how important it is to burn their energy and stimulate their brain! I will never push your pup to the edge of their comfort zone - and know the body language they portray when they are uncomfortable. I will always talk through your expectations and how we can collaborate to take the best care of your pup at the very beginning of their care. As a dog owner I understand that your directions and expectations for your dog are the most important thing!
About: I joined Rover in October 2025 but I’ve been caring for animals for decades and have a deep appreciation for the comfort and companionship they bring. Before joining Rover, I was (and still am!) the go-to resource for friends and family who needed cat, dog, and house sitting. Now, I’m excited serve the Long Beach community :) Whether I’m spending time with a playful pup or a senior, I’m committed to providing attentive, reliable, and compassionate care. New Rover clients are eligible for a $20 credit: https://www.rover.com/sit/erins70354 I work remotely, Monday through Friday, and have flexibility for morning and day time care - walks, feedings, socializing. I can also provide care in the early or late evenings, working around dinner and gym time. For house sitting requests, I am currently able to offer spending 8-10 hours with your pet during the day, but am unable to offer overnight care at this time. I do my best to keep pets comfortable by sticking to their usual routine. I follow all instructions for feeding, walks, medication, training, and anything else they need. I’m careful with doors and gates, clean up after them and myself, and send updates so you know how things are going.
About: Hello, my name is Tru!! I am a respectful girl and reliable when it comes to tasks and care. I love animals more than anything and I’m a huge dog person. I own a cat for 2 years and I took care of many of my family pets as well as owned dogs. I would be pleased to to meet your cute pets❤️❤️ I have recently been taking care of a 13 year old pit bull and shes so cute and sweet!! I am an unemployed 18 year old who is free almost all the time. Looking for lasting clients to take care of in this field. I treat pets in my home as sweet as possible even if their personality varies when it comes to affection. I treat pets in others home as the houses most prized possession because they are, lol.
About: I’ve spent much of my adult life in roles where people trusted me with things that mattered to them like their homes, businesses, teams and even careers. I spent my undergraduate years as an Assistant Property Manager before becoming an LAX operations leader and former full-time recruiter, and I bring that same sense of responsibility to more than 10 years of caring for pets. I have especially good experience with senior animals: more than half of the dogs and cats I’ve cared for have been seniors. I love their personalities and am comfortable adjusting to slower walks, medication schedules, established routines and the little preferences that become especially important as pets get older. Even re-potty training them! At the other end of the spectrum, I’m an active person and outrigger paddler, so energetic dogs are very welcome too. Long walks, play and outdoor time fit my lifestyle after having been in grad school in upstate New York. My approach is individualized. My experience has taught me how much better the outcome is when you listen first, ask good questions and understand what constitutes a good fit. Pets aren’t any different. I want to learn their personality and normal routine so I can meet them where they are. My goal is for you to come home thinking, "My pets and home are happy, healthy, safe and ready for me to come back without skipping a beat." My schedule is flexible, and I plan my day around each pet’s routine. I often work from my computer remotely during the day and have broad availability for walks, drop-ins and house sitting. I do have activities outside the home, including early-morning outrigger paddling, but I make sure feeding, potty breaks, medication and other important routines are taken care of first. For house sitting, I’m generally a good fit for pets who are comfortable alone for 4–6 hours at a time, or longer when that is already part of their normal routine. I’m happy to talk through your pet’s schedule before booking and adjust where I reasonably can. I like to begin with a meet-and-greet so I can understand your pet’s normal behavior, routine, medications, household setup and emergency plan before care begins. I review instructions carefully and ask questions upfront that may include how you want me to communicate if something unexpected happens. I pay attention to changes that can be easy to miss, from unusual itching or appetite changes to changes in energy, bathroom habits or behavior, and I’ll let you know when something seems out of the ordinary. I’m equally conscientious with the home itself. I’m a “leave it better than you found it” person. I keep the spaces I use tidy, handle mail and packages according to your preferences, take out trash, water plants and care for linens when appropriate. If you already have cleaners, gardeners or other small business service providers, I’m happy to work around the systems you already have.
About: I have experience with many types of animals in the past few years. From large dogs such as huskies, golden retrievers to bulldogs. To smaller dogs such as Shih Tzu, Frenchies and even new born puppies! I also have experience with bird care and rodents. A love for animals means to give them the best quality care. I am currently working part time with mid day-closing shifts. I tend to have 2-3 days off a weeks, which allows me to be able to have dedicated time to take care of people’s furry babies. I am very aware of my surroundings so when it comes to client homes. I’ll keep a good eye on not just the pet, but the care for the home. Any loose toys, objects or cables will be protected and remain out of sight of the pet for their safety. I’ll take care and make sure your pet has the fun they need, while maintaining a tidy home.
About: Hi there! I've been working with pets for 9 years and counting. I specialize in big/small dogs, cats, and small mammals. Additionally, I have 4 years of experience caring for reptiles and aquatic animals. If you have a 'weird' animal or an animal that is not listed for care on Rover, contact me! I'll be more than happy to care for your critter with proper written instructions :) I'm currently a college student with morning and evening classes. My daily schedule is open for early to late afternoon and nightly visits. Upon contact a descriptive schedule will be provided for the length of pet care to ensure the best outcome for your fuzzy friend. I can ensure safety and trust between me and your fuzzy friend by respecting their boundaries and following their schedules. Additionally, I carry experience with pet CPR, hold an emergency crate in my car, and will adapt to any needs your pet describes.
About: I've raised my own dogs, including my English Bulldog, Pancake, and my current Frenchie, Meatloaf, so I understand the extra care some dogs need when it comes to pacing, temperature, and overall comfort. In addition to caring for pets through Rover, I currently work part-time as a Pet Care Professional with a local pet care company in Long Beach. Every week I care for both dogs and cats with a wide range of personalities, routines, and needs, giving me hands-on experience in clients' homes. I've also completed the Fear Free Shelter Program and volunteer at Long Beach Animal Care Services, where I work with dogs of all temperaments, including shy and sensitive personalities. My focus is on calm, structured care and creating a safe, low-stress environment where your pet feels comfortable, secure, and cared for. What you can expect: • Photo and video updates every visit • Clear communication throughout your pet's care • Calm, patient handling for anxious or sensitive pets • Care tailored to your pet's routine and needs • Respectful care of your home I care deeply about animals and will treat your pet like one of my own, so you can have complete peace of mind while you're away. I have a flexible schedule and am available for morning and midday walks and check-ins on weekdays, with weekend availability as needed. My focus is on calm, reliable, and consistent care for every dog. I prioritize safety, calm energy, and consistency. I follow your dog’s routine closely and pay special attention to pacing, temperature, and comfort, especially for Frenchies and bulldogs. I use secure leash handling and focus on creating a safe, low stress environment where your dog feels comfortable and cared for.
“Evynn is very loving and compassionate with pets. She took very good care of Scooty even during rainy days. She sent us rover cards on daily basis which had pics of Scooty having fun playing and walking with her. Will definitely return to her for future needs. :)”
About: Growing up, we were a family of animal lovers, from fish to turtles to cats to dogs. We loved them all! We've had many generations of loving furbabies in and out of the home and I absolutely love being able to show them a little love back with some of my spare time. I am looking to meet new people and pets with some of my time outside of work. I'm hoping to stay active alongside keeping your pups happy and healthy. I want to ensure your pets' safety first and foremost and will make sure to keep them happy and healthy while in a safe space.
About: 🦮🐕🦺🐕🐩🐕🦺🦮 Dog Experience 🦮🐕🦺🐩🐕🐕🦺🦮 I have experience caring for a wide range of dogs, including pit bulls, german shepherds, huskies, english bullterriers, bulldogs, poodles, and american bullies. I’ve raised and trained my current dog (Bruce Wayne) from a puppy and cared for my previous dog (Stella Rose) through all stages of life. Stella died from pancriatic cancer, giving me experience with senior care as well. I’m comfortable with all temperaments and energy levels, from high-energy dogs (like Bruce Wayne) to low energy dogs and older pets (like Stella Rose). 🐈⬛🐟🦜🐸🐢 Other Pet Experience 🐢🐸🦜🐟🐈⬛ I have experience with all different kinds of animals, from cats, to reptiles and aquatic pets. I particuarly have experience with cats, pac-man frogs, suckerfish, shrimp, pond fish, my grandmother's evil sun conure & golden jenday mixed bird, and turtles. Even though I don't have much experience with hamsters, mice, snakes, spiders, lizards and other animals, I am comfortable with all of them & feeding them their respective meals (live or dried). 🫶🏻 ✨✨✨✨✨✨ About Me ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ I’m very patient and understanding with all pets. I’ve worked with shy, agressive & what many would consider to be straight up evil (my grandmothers bird) animals, earning their trust over time. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Sometimes pets can have a difficult time eating because of how much they miss their owners. If this happens (& if it's okay with the owners) I'll typically hand feed them to make sure your pet is getting the nutrition they need while your away. 🫶🏻 ⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰ Schedule ⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰ I’m currently a college student at CSULB with a pretty consistent class schedule & outside of school activities, which allows me to plan my pet care visits according to that. Depending on the day I’m typically available in the afternoons, evenings, and weekends, and I make sure to schedule my time so pets receive all the attention, walks, and care that they need. I’m dependable and communicate clearly if anything in my schedule changes. Right now I'm on summer break so I'm available almost all the time! 🫶🏻 🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠 Enviornment 🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠 I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, including feeding routines, exercise, and any specific needs. I’m attentive to behavior and prioratize making sure pets feel secure in their own home. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind while they’re away.

“Our dog Blue had the best time staying with Dianiris and her family. From the get go, Dianiris responded quickly to texts and was very kind and reassuring (I might have been having a little separation anxiety of my own lol). I really appreciated all of the check-ins and photos she sent while Blue was with her too. Dianiris will definitely be our go-to sitter if we are back in the area!”
“Marlo is always amazing with Rufus. He has been with her several times now and she always updates me consistently with picture. I will continue to use her until she says no”
“Corinne and Louis are amazing! You can tell they really care about dogs and they treated Wallie like their own. I was sent several updates and they communicated very well throughout the day. We plan on using them again!”
“Our first time using Rover, and Erin was a pleasure to work with. She communicated well and managed our 2 year old Doberman well. Overall, good experience. Thank you Erin.”
“Irene was great with our pups! We would love for her to sit for them in the future. She shared updates while we were on our trip. She reviewed the care document, and knew how to set up their crates and put their complicated harnesses on. Our pups are high energy breeds and but they came home relaxed and content. When we went to pick them up Bone Thug ran back to give Irene a little pup love before leaving. That was the biggest sign of care and happiness to me.”
“Matthew and Kim were great! They were super friendly, caring, reliable and communicative. After meeting them we felt great about leaving our puppy with them for her first overnight away from us. They kept us updated with pictures and text messages about how she was doing. We feel so fortunate to have found them to take care of our girl!”
About: i’ve worked with animals over 6 years I have pets of my own so I know that we just want the best for them. I’ve worked with huge pets and small pets and even some with medical conditions so if they need to be accommodated just let me know I am currently working part time so I will be updating my schedule constantly but I will be available on weekdays and even weekends . I want your pet to feel like their in a familiar space so whatever you do to make them feel comfortable I will do my best to match that
“Chrissy is awesome! She took really good care of my very particular, very anxious old dog. He seemed relaxed after spending time with her! Chrissy is communicative and made me feel super at ease. Highly recommend!”
“Sarah took such good care of Ellie. Ellie is a rescue who has big trust issues. Sarah has such a calm and loving demeanor and I believe that Ellie felt safe right way. Sarah's little guy Max was so friendly and welcoming to Ellie. Thank you so very much Sarah! Bob and Linda Murphy”
About: UW–Madison Kinesiology grad, now a medical student. I'm comfortable giving oral and injected meds, and I care for senior dogs. I've had Mamba, my Lab, for 6 years and I'm raising Cleo, my young Doberman/cattle dog mix, so I know high-energy pups. I'm on a flexible fall schedule and available Monday–Saturday any time for walks and drop-ins. Sundays I'm available for house sitting. You'll get photo updates every visit, and I'll keep your dog's feeding and potty routine exactly as you do it. On walks I use a secure leash and harness and check for heat and hazards. For boarding, your dog stays in a house with a small fenced dog run, one family at a time, crate-trained dogs only. My Lab Mamba is the only dog in the home, and I never leave dogs unsupervised with him until we've done a slow, supervised introduction.
“Christa was awesome! My dog Toby is pretty finicky, but she went above and beyond, going to the grocery store to get him cheese and other special treats and making sure he felt comfortable. He also gets itchy skin especially when he is nervous so she got him coconut oil to rub on his fur. She also took him on so many fun beach adventures and concerts in the park which I really appreciated. I was really happy with Christa! Would trust her again to take care of my Toby!”
“Laura and her husband truly go above and beyond when caring for our dog. This was our dog’s second time staying with Laura and it was over the holiday weekend. Laura eased my worries I had about the neighborhood fireworks that could possibly stress out my dog and she assured me that there would be classical music played for my dog to create a more comfortable environment. Laura always sends daily updates and pictures which I really appreciate. I always know my fur baby is receiving the upmost care and love. I will absolutely be reaching out to Laura again for future dog care!”

“Kia was an exceptionally good communicator. He was really flexible with scheduling. I appreciate the care he gave our pups and the prep he took in reviewing their care document before their stay.”

Whether your dog enjoys relaxing, playing, or going for walks, we’ll do our best to keep them on their normal routine so they feel right at home.

We have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and no other pets in the home, allowing us to focus on your dog’s individual needs.
