“Michael and Tyler were divided a truly wonderful and happy stay for our little girl. They welcomed her and made her feel right at home, and she clearly had such a blast with them. It’s so reassuring to be able to leave her with people who are going to love her and care for her as you would yourself. We will have no hesitation in leaving our girl with them again in the future.”
About: I grew up with dogs in the family, so caring for them is second nature. Now I have young, responsible daughters who share that love — our whole family lights up around dogs. We travel too often to own one ourselves, so instead we're hoping to build lasting relationships with a few special dogs whose families need occasional help. We're not doing this for the money; we simply love dogs and want more of them in our lives. What sets me apart beyond that: I'm active and love taking dogs on hikes — and trail runs, if they're up for it — so high-energy pups will come home tired and happy. Your dog gets a whole family's attention — a workout buddy, playmates, and steady, caring company. We plan to take one dog every 2-3 months and to shower them with love and attention. If you're interested in our family, chances are best if you coordinate with us well in advance :) I'm semi-retired and work from home on a completely flexible schedule, so pet care fits naturally into my whole day — not just the edges of it. Your dog won't be waiting hours 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, whether your dog is with us or in their own home. 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.
“Yunxi was friendly and communicative. She sent photos and asked questions to make my very Senior dog Odessa comfortable. Her back yard was perfect and safe for Odessa to roam around.”
“My husband and I traveled all the way from Texas to watch the World Cup match, and we were looking for someone trustworthy to take care of our Keeper. Finding Yasemin was truly the best decision we could have made. While we were enjoying the game, Keeper had an amazing day filled with love, cuddles, and attention. She treated him like he was her own fluffy little pup. We received plenty of photos and videos throughout the day, which gave us so much peace of mind. If we’re ever back in the area, we’ll leave Keeper with Yasemin again without a second thought. Thank you so much for everything! We hope to see you again soon. 🐾”
“Meerim took wonderful care of Machi. She created a warm, attentive environment and kept us updated with detailed daily messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. Her responsiveness and clear communication made a huge difference during those moments. We truly appreciated how proactive and caring she was throughout the entire stay. We would absolutely call upon Meerim again and look forward to working with her in the future.”
“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!”
“Tracy and her husband were great with my dog, Ocean! He stayed with them for a week, and they sent photos every day with updates on how he was doing and he had a great time :)”
“We had a last minute trip come up a week before leaving but Daniel was available and happy to watch Bean on short notice. He was knowledgeable, knew exactly what to do, and sent pictures and videos of Bean during the 2 day stay. We knew Bean was in great hands - he looked comfortable and like he had a great time with Daniel.”
“We left Robert with Dapeng for four nights and it's Robert's first time to stay overnight with another family. We were a bit concerned about him adapting to the new environment. Dapeng and his family was such a blessing to work with. They treated Roberted very well and let him play with a few other dogs with similar energy level so Robert had a ball! We received lovely photos of him playing in the backyard and he seemed to be in great spirit. We will book again this summer.”
“We had such an amazing experience with Audrina watching our dog, Brody! We were updated everyday with pictures and information about his day and all the fun activities he did. He was a very happy boy and we will definitely be using her again!!”
“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.”
“Ethan and Gina treated Zoey like family, giving us peace of mind with frequent updates, photos, and video throughout her stay. Their dog, Astro, is a mellow and welcoming host. The big backyard gave the dogs plenty of space to play, and we appreciated knowing Zoey was in a nurturing environment. They were able to handle Zoey's eye drops with care and attention. We are grateful to Ethan and Gina for taking wonderful care of Zoey while we were away.”
“Franklin had a great time with Karen and Willie (and Cookie)! They were super flexible and we got lots of photos and updates throughout his stay! Thanks for your help :)”
About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life and grew up in a family that has always cared deeply about animals. Ever since I was a kid, I’ve helped take care of our family dogs by feeding them, playing with them, taking them outside, and making sure they were happy and comfortable. Being around dogs has always come naturally to me. I enjoy spending time with them, getting to know their personalities, and making them feel safe and loved. Even now, I often help friends and family with their dogs whenever they need an extra hand, whether that means watching them, taking them on walks, or just giving them attention and company. I understand that every dog is different, and I always try to be patient, caring, and attentive to their needs. My goal is to make every dog feel like they’re spending time with a friend, not just a sitter❤️🐶 I have full availability and a very flexible schedule, so I’m usually able to accommodate most times and days without any issues. I can adjust easily depending on what works best for you and your pet, and I’m happy to help whenever I’m needed. My goal is to be reliable and easy to work with, so you can feel confident that your dog will be taken care of even on short notice or changing schedules. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and trust are my top priorities. I live on the first floor, which makes it very easy and safe for dogs to go in and out, and I also have direct access to a backyard and nearby parks for walks, playtime, and fresh air. The home is spacious and pet-friendly, giving dogs plenty of room to relax and move around comfortably. I make sure the environment is calm, clean, and stress-free so every dog feels at home. There’s always space to rest, play, and feel secure, and I’m able to give them the attention they need throughout the day. My goal is to create a safe, relaxed, and welcoming environment where dogs feel comfortable and cared for at all times.🙋🏻♀️✨
“What a great stay for Stitch. They are so conscientious and kind. He came home calm and happy. Great updates with details on walks, photos, potty. Will definitely have Stitch stay again.”
About: About Me I have been passionately caring for pets since I was 10 years old, and have been doing the same on Rover for the last 7 years through my son's account until he moved out for college. I now have a 6 year old poodle at home, who loves playing with dogs too. In our home, your furry baby will receive round-the-clock love, attention, and plenty of belly rubs. My Home & Yard I live in a large, spacious single-family home with more than enough room for your pet to lounge and feel right at home. The Best Part: The backyard is massive with tons of secure green space! It is the perfect setup for high-energy pups who love to sprint, play fetch, or just sniff around and explore safely. Whether your pet prefers non-stop playtime or a cozy spot on the couch next to me, I can't wait to welcome them into our home! I currently work part-time from home and we have a retired senior and a high schooler at home, and we are all available to make sure your pet is well cared for. Your pet will be walked twice a day - morning and evening. And my energetic playful poodle will make sure they get plenty of exercise and play in our backyard during the day. I have a single-family home with a large fenced backyard that is ready to host your pet. I’ll make sure all our pets get individual attention and care, and are fed independently. They can sleep on their own bed or on our sofas, whatever they prefer. I will send you daily updates on how they are doing.
“Jennifer did a meet and greet at a local park. She was great in communication and her house is dog friendly. She was great face-to-face and I would use her services again and recommend.”
“Mora was amazing! She handled my overly-energetic, bitey puppy with such care and professionalism. I can't thank her enough for her grace under fire, she went above and beyond the call of duty. Mora gave the puppy plenty of walks and play time, and was wonderfully communicative with us! I loved getting pictures and videos every day. She is fantastic!!”

“Jordan was outstanding. 10/10 would book with her again. She treated our cat Juniper like her own and was so thoughtful about sharing updates and taking pictures. Little Junebug was happy as a clam when we got back from our trip, her coat was shiny, and her eyes clear. And that is saying a lot since other times we have left her with cat sitters we've returned to find her scrawny and overgroomed from stress. Thank you, Jordan!!!”
“Alexis was fabulous! She took care of my cat Alfred over a weekend while I was away, feeding him and changing his water, and made sure to send me plenty of pictures of him enjoying himself! I would definitely book with her again.”
“Athena did great job at taking care of my boys. She made very cute reports from my babies daily and I looked forward to them each day. I am happy with her service and will book again when needed”
“Miriam did a great job taking care of our two cats over the holidays. We ended up getting sick on our trip and she was very flexible and let us extend how long she was watching them until we were feeling well enough to travel.”
“Anahita did a great job taking care of my very independent and sometimes hard to track down kitty cat! She sent lots of pictures and she was on time and she texted me when she had any issues. She communicates effectively when she has issues or maybe will be delayed, and most importantly Milo liked her right away! I was able to completely relax knowing that my cat was being cared for while I was traveling.”
“Alondra provided excellent updates while cat sitting for us. Not only was she very communicative, she also left the house better than she found it. Would 100% recommend her for cat sitting and hope to work with her again!”
“Michelle is awesome. Friendly, communicative and very easy to work with. She kept me posted (via text) on how Camille was doing at her house and sent photos. Camille seemed to be very happy at her house and was very calm and content when I arrive to pick her up. I would definitely use Michelle again.”
“Lisa is such a great cat sitter, she took good care of my two kittens while I was away for a month, with great communication, she did everything I asked for and more! Thank you so much, I am very grateful for her help and look forward to working with her in the future.”
“Caroline was so wonderful!! She was prompt, responsible, and sent so many photos each day. She was great with my kitty who adored her and even sacrificed some of her own hair ties for her to play with!”
“Shannon is very dependable and she is experienced with our cats. She did everything we asked her to do, she also does the little things like managing the lights and helped bringing in our packages. We appreciate working with you Shannon and will certainly ask for you again next time we travel.”
“Krista was fantastic with my 3 cats. She took terrific care of the cats and made sure that they had everything they needed, plus also cleaned up several unfortunate messes. We received lots of cute pictures of the cats too. We returned home to happy cats with everything in great shape. I highly recommend Krista!!”
“Really appreciated the quick turn around from Stephanie. I booked on short notice about a day before a week long trip and she was able to accommodate specific meeting times for key handoff/instructions. Did a wonderful job taking care of Lily 2x a day. Would highly recommend!”
“I had a wonderful experience with Cordigan on Rover! She was incredibly communicative and professional throughout my trip, which gave me so much peace of mind. What really stood out was her attention to detail and the care she took with my cats. They are usually very shy and tend to get stressed when I’m away, but when I came home, they were calm, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. That honestly says everything. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and reliable pet sitter.”
“Kelun was an excellent cat sitter! She was thorough, responsible, and incredibly attentive. Our cat is very shy, but she warmed up to Kelun right away, which says a lot. Kelun went above and beyond with everything we asked, communicated clearly and consistently, and sent lots of photos with every visit, which we really appreciated. We felt completely safe and at ease leaving our cat in her care and would absolutely book her again. Highly recommend!”
“Sevinj provided exceptional care to our sick cat -- got to our place twice a day, always on time. Followed all the instructions, gave medications. She is also very responsive and considerate -- always send us pictures each visit. Highly recommend her!!”
About: I’m a dedicated cat owner myself and have had my cat from 12 weeks old to now over 10 years old, so I understand how important it is to find someone patient, attentive, and trustworthy to care for your cat while you’re away. In addition to my personal experience as a cat mom, I worked professionally in a cat boarding facility where I cared for cats with a wide range of personalities and needs, from highly social cats to shy, anxious, or more independent temperaments. I’m comfortable following detailed feeding and medication routines, monitoring behavior and appetite, and giving cats the space and calm environment they need to feel safe and comfortable. If you want many adorable pictures and videos of your fur baby while you're away, I'm your gal!
About: I have been a cat owner and have been caring for friends and family's pets for years. I love them all. I wish I could adopt every single pet that needs a loving home. I would be delighted to care for your fur babies to the best of my abilities. I love playing with them, hugging them and showing them love.
“Shannon was great! She did drop in visits to feed and socialize with my cat. She played with him and sent great pictures from each visit. She was attentive to instructions and everything went very smoothly.”

“We are so grateful to have found Kenny. We tried leaving our dog at a hotel/boarding facility. We paid extra for a nice room. But he was mostly in that room alone, standing and clawing at the glass, begging for attention. And when we would drop him off, he would try to get away. When we picked him up, he was panicked and breathing hard. He couldn’t mingle with the dogs due to being intact. It was isolating and he has separation anxiety. I’m sharing this for contrast. When I drop him off at Kenny’s he runs to him, jumps and licks him, and walks away without ever looking back at me, lol. We get photo and video updates showing how much fun he has: playing in the yard with another dog, pooping! Going for a walk, eating, napping, etc. Kenny watches over them and keeps them safe, ex: big vs small, neutered/spayed vs not. My dog loves going there now, and I can focus on work without worry. So thankful to have found this priceless attention and care.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I moved back to the bay in 2020. I work from home, and my I recently moved in with my sister who also helps take care of the pups (she is a former mini Aussie owner). I can generally take out the pups very 2-4 hours and treat them as my own. I was going to foster but life got in the way (I recently had surgery in my mouth, so you will see my speech has been slightly affected) Hello there - primarily open for house sitting in SF proper for minimum of 1 week for March and April. - if it’s 2+ weeks, we can negotiate on price depending on circumstance. Just FYI so you are not surprised, I recently had a surgery in my mouth so I have a slight speech impediment. ____________________________________________

“Karen, Will and Cookie were the best daycare hosts my puppy Sadie and I could have asked for during a visit to SF. They were so sweet and welcoming and took incredible care of Sadie. It was such a relief to find them on short notice - I had full trust in them and knew Sadie was enjoying her time there. I highly, highly recommend them for anyone looking for loving care of their dog and I will definitely use them again on our next visit. Thank you!”
“We were looking for a sitter very last minute and Jingjing was kind enough to work with her husband to watch our dog, Milo, the entire day. Jingjing was very communicative and sent many videos/photos. I just moved to the Bay Area and it gives me tremendous relief that Milo has a sitter we can count on! Highly recommend!! Thank you Jingjing!”
“Ethan took wonderful care for my puppy. He was great at communicating and gave lots of updates through out the day. My puppy had a blast with Astro :) Will definitely rebook!”
About: I’ve been a dog person in my entire life, and during Covid I got the chance to raise a puppy from infancy that now is my parents beloved pet. As a youngster, I frequently made a habit of watching and walking other people’s dogs, and very quickly loved the opportunity to meet and hang out with new animals. Once I moved to college, I began rescuing and fostering dogs and eventually ended up with one of my own. She and I adore the company of dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments! I’m currently working part time from home, so I will have a lot of extra time to care for and walk and play with any animals in my care. My house has space for animals to run around and play in, and I have access to a large fenced yard at the back of my building. This is my dog‘s favorite place to play. I have lots of toys and my house is very pet safe, with no random bits and bobs that could be harmful.

I am available most days of the week, including weekdays and weekends, and can adjust my time based on pet care needs. I provide a safe, calm, and loving home environment for every pet staying with me. I currently have a 3.5 year old Maltipoo who is very friendly, playful, and well socialized with other animals. He helps create a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere in the home. I always make sure every pet feels safe and stress-free in my home. Pets are supervised and cared for at all times, and I follow each owner’s instructions carefully to keep their routine consistent. There is also a dog park just a 2-minute walk from my home, which is a great nearby space for walks and exercise when appropriate. My goal is to make every pet feel like they are in a second home where they are safe, comfortable, and cared for.
“Ana was very caring to our little dog. She’s very thorough and amazing. So lucky to have her take care of Inday. She sends us pictures and videos to keep us updated. Very much recommended!”
“Eunice & Sean were both great! Lots of updates throughout the day and communication on what he was doing. I had zero worries and felt very comfortable. Pick up and drop off were smooth and easy. I will definitely book with them again in the future.”
“Steven and Pei Shan are a very friendly couple. Their Shiba, Mika is super fluffy and cute! My dog Jojo is a very anxious and jumpy dog but they made her feel very comfortable in their home. They gave updates and beautiful photos of Jojo while in their care. Jojos first stay with them went very well and I’ll be continuing to use their care for my dog. Recommend to all!!”
About: What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I have experience caring for pets of different ages and temperaments, including senior dogs who need extra attention and gentle care. I understand the importance of maintaining routines, providing medication when needed, and making sure pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. I’m attentive to details, communicate regularly with updates and photos, and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, or extra cuddles, I focus on giving each pet personalized care based on their needs. If your dog has energy to burn or a place to rest, my home and care is the place to be. I have fully open availability. I am constantly hanging out with our 20 lb poodle. She loves the company of other dogs. We just lost our other 18 year old poodle due to old age in March of 2026. We love walks, park, and relaxing. Or a nice car ride through Sunnyvale! I have a small fenced yard with 1 poodle to keep your dog company. My neighborhood we walk a few times through the day. Dogs welcomed in the home and furniture. I have extra beds, toys, bowls, treats, and leashes. We just want the space to feel like home for all the fur babies!

About: I have been caring for dogs since I was about 8, and being around them has always been a big part of my life. I grew up with a beagle, and now I share my home with a chihuahua mix and a labrador mix, so I’m familiar with the needs of both small and large breeds. Over the years I’ve helped neighbors, friends, and family with feeding, routines, and keeping their dog's company. Spending time with so many different dogs has helped me understand their personalities and make sure each one feels safe, comfortable, and supported. I’m currently taking online classes, and since those are fully remote, I have flexible availability throughout the day. I can easily fit in walks, drop‑in visits, or house sitting depending on what your pet needs. My schedule allows me to be reliable, responsive, and present for your pet’s routine. I prioritize safety and comfort during every walk, drop‑in, and house‑sitting stay. I follow each pet’s routine closely, use secure leash habits, and keep a calm, tidy environment in your home. I also care for two dogs of my own, keeping them on a consistent routine with daily walks and scheduled feeding, so I understand how important structure is for keeping pets happy and comfortable.
About: I love all pets. I would be caring and loving to your pet while they're with me. Whether a puppy, kitten, a specials need animal or an elderly. I will be sure to provide them a healthy and safe environment, help with their medicine, take them for walks as needed, feed and play with them often. I am a good communicator. Unless you request otherwise, I will send daily updates along with pictures of your fury baby. I dedicate 1-2 days per week for 1/2 day to volunteering. I have two grown children and a cat at home. I have plenty of time to spare and dedicate to your pet. Safety first! I live in a house with a fence. I will be sure to watch and care for your dog if we're walking outside. I will not let them loose in the backyard without supervision.
About: I have cared for dogs of all kinds and ages since I was a child. I've trained puppies, cared for elder dogs, and worked with service dogs as well. January, 2026: I am working part time & remote so my schedule for pet care is very flexible! I'm available for a single day or for longer-term arrangements. I will be happy to help take care of your pets in their homes. At this time I do not have the ability to pet-sit or board at my home.
About: I have years of experience with pet care! Worked in a Daycare/ Boarding/ grooming facility for 2 years! Have a big heart for all furr babies💕 My schedule is very flexible through the week, with it being so flexible I’m able to give all the time to your pet and its needs and more! Caring for pets in someone else’s home means following the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding, exercise, and any special care needs. I make sure the pet has fresh water, a clean environment, and enough attention to stay comfortable and stress-free. I also respect the home by keeping it tidy, securing the space, and communicating any updates or concerns.
“Robyn is awesome with both my dogs despite one being a bit stubborn and the other very mischievous :) She even cleaned up after my counter surfing dog got ahold of a brand new box of Kleenex!”

About: I grew up with dogs in the family, so caring for them is second nature. Now I have young, responsible daughters who share that love — our whole family lights up around dogs. We travel too often to own one ourselves, so instead we're hoping to build lasting relationships with a few special dogs whose families need occasional help. We're not doing this for the money; we simply love dogs and want more of them in our lives. What sets me apart beyond that: I'm active and love taking dogs on hikes — and trail runs, if they're up for it — so high-energy pups will come home tired and happy. Your dog gets a whole family's attention — a workout buddy, playmates, and steady, caring company. We plan to take one dog every 2-3 months and to shower them with love and attention. If you're interested in our family, chances are best if you coordinate with us well in advance :) I'm semi-retired and work from home on a completely flexible schedule, so pet care fits naturally into my whole day — not just the edges of it. Your dog won't be waiting hours 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, whether your dog is with us or in their own home. 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.
“My husband and I traveled all the way from Texas to watch the World Cup match, and we were looking for someone trustworthy to take care of our Keeper. Finding Yasemin was truly the best decision we could have made. While we were enjoying the game, Keeper had an amazing day filled with love, cuddles, and attention. She treated him like he was her own fluffy little pup. We received plenty of photos and videos throughout the day, which gave us so much peace of mind. If we’re ever back in the area, we’ll leave Keeper with Yasemin again without a second thought. Thank you so much for everything! We hope to see you again soon. 🐾”
“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!”
“We had a last minute trip come up a week before leaving but Daniel was available and happy to watch Bean on short notice. He was knowledgeable, knew exactly what to do, and sent pictures and videos of Bean during the 2 day stay. We knew Bean was in great hands - he looked comfortable and like he had a great time with Daniel.”
“We left Robert with Dapeng for four nights and it's Robert's first time to stay overnight with another family. We were a bit concerned about him adapting to the new environment. Dapeng and his family was such a blessing to work with. They treated Roberted very well and let him play with a few other dogs with similar energy level so Robert had a ball! We received lovely photos of him playing in the backyard and he seemed to be in great spirit. We will book again this summer.”
“We had such an amazing experience with Audrina watching our dog, Brody! We were updated everyday with pictures and information about his day and all the fun activities he did. He was a very happy boy and we will definitely be using her again!!”
About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life and grew up in a family that has always cared deeply about animals. Ever since I was a kid, I’ve helped take care of our family dogs by feeding them, playing with them, taking them outside, and making sure they were happy and comfortable. Being around dogs has always come naturally to me. I enjoy spending time with them, getting to know their personalities, and making them feel safe and loved. Even now, I often help friends and family with their dogs whenever they need an extra hand, whether that means watching them, taking them on walks, or just giving them attention and company. I understand that every dog is different, and I always try to be patient, caring, and attentive to their needs. My goal is to make every dog feel like they’re spending time with a friend, not just a sitter❤️🐶 I have full availability and a very flexible schedule, so I’m usually able to accommodate most times and days without any issues. I can adjust easily depending on what works best for you and your pet, and I’m happy to help whenever I’m needed. My goal is to be reliable and easy to work with, so you can feel confident that your dog will be taken care of even on short notice or changing schedules. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and trust are my top priorities. I live on the first floor, which makes it very easy and safe for dogs to go in and out, and I also have direct access to a backyard and nearby parks for walks, playtime, and fresh air. The home is spacious and pet-friendly, giving dogs plenty of room to relax and move around comfortably. I make sure the environment is calm, clean, and stress-free so every dog feels at home. There’s always space to rest, play, and feel secure, and I’m able to give them the attention they need throughout the day. My goal is to create a safe, relaxed, and welcoming environment where dogs feel comfortable and cared for at all times.🙋🏻♀️✨
“What a great stay for Stitch. They are so conscientious and kind. He came home calm and happy. Great updates with details on walks, photos, potty. Will definitely have Stitch stay again.”
About: About Me I have been passionately caring for pets since I was 10 years old, and have been doing the same on Rover for the last 7 years through my son's account until he moved out for college. I now have a 6 year old poodle at home, who loves playing with dogs too. In our home, your furry baby will receive round-the-clock love, attention, and plenty of belly rubs. My Home & Yard I live in a large, spacious single-family home with more than enough room for your pet to lounge and feel right at home. The Best Part: The backyard is massive with tons of secure green space! It is the perfect setup for high-energy pups who love to sprint, play fetch, or just sniff around and explore safely. Whether your pet prefers non-stop playtime or a cozy spot on the couch next to me, I can't wait to welcome them into our home! I currently work part-time from home and we have a retired senior and a high schooler at home, and we are all available to make sure your pet is well cared for. Your pet will be walked twice a day - morning and evening. And my energetic playful poodle will make sure they get plenty of exercise and play in our backyard during the day. I have a single-family home with a large fenced backyard that is ready to host your pet. I’ll make sure all our pets get individual attention and care, and are fed independently. They can sleep on their own bed or on our sofas, whatever they prefer. I will send you daily updates on how they are doing.
“Jennifer did a meet and greet at a local park. She was great in communication and her house is dog friendly. She was great face-to-face and I would use her services again and recommend.”
“Nabil took wonderful care of Raisin for two days. It was Raisin’s first time staying away from home, so we were a little nervous, but Nabil and Sunny made her feel comfortable and safe. She quickly warmed up to them, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she was well cared for and treated with kindness. We truly appreciated the updates and the loving care Raisin received. I would highly recommend Nabil to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter!”
“We had a last minute trip and Crystal was a lifesaver. She was incredibly flexible and responsive. She did a meet and greet with our dog the day I reached out to her and she and our dog were instant friends. She was also able to accommodate our last minute flight changes. Our dog enjoyed his stay. We recommend Crystal highly!”
“Kaylee came back happy and tired. We got periodic updates, photos of a very happy dog, and quick responses to all our queries. Kaylee spent most of the time outdoors (her favorite place) and clearly enjoyed all the dogs.”
“Madhumita was wonderful with Bentley. She and her family took great care of him while we were away. She kept us updated with photos and he seemed so happy with them. We would recommend her to anyone and everyone!”
“Gimli's stay with Olga was great! Olga made sure everything was ready to go when we arrived, and was punctual with consistent updates while we were away. I would highly recommend Olga to others looking for a dog sitter for extended time away!”
“Our kitty Jasmine had a most wonderful stay with Yixin! The photos and little movies had shown that Jasmine had settled in to Yixin's nice home as she found several cozy places to sleep end enjoy windows. This was all so amazing because Jasmine is a "scaredy-cat" and tends to hide from the world and new people. Yixin was able to make friends with Jasmine very quickly. Jasmine ate and drank well and Yixin attended to all of Jasmine's special needs. Indeed, our girly cat was loved and cherished at Yixin's "kitty vacation resort". We have found a Gem of a kitty care taker whilst we are on travel. Thank you so much Yixin for you special love you gave Jasmine. She was a happy kitty when she return home.”
“This was our first time leaving our 5 month old golden retriever, Willow, and we could not have asked for a better experience with Azedah. She was so kind, understanding, professional, and kept our fur baby so safe and happy. We will definitely be booking again soon! 😁”
“We are so thankful for Jen & Jeff! We ended up booking with them when our usual dog sitters were unavailable for the dates that we needed. It's always a bit nerve-racking to leave your pup with someone new, but they put us at ease and were amazing to work with! They were so sweet and patient with our super shy dog who took to them unbelievably fast. They are both incredible with dogs and communication was a breeze. We are so glad that we found them and will definitely be booking them again! Thank you both so much for taking such great care of our Harley girl!”
