“Kolten and Julia were responsive and took excellent care of Dexter. This was our first time using Rover and they made sure it was an excellent one. The sent many pictures of Dexter during his stay. They made the experience very simple which helped us from worrying.”
“Stefanile is a great sitter. She was incredibly accommodating and patient in dealing with my dog—a rather shy, introverted, and somewhat challenging dog. Given her deep understanding of canine personalities and traits, as well as her extensive experience as a sitter, I was able to entrust Chaco to her care with peace of mind. She sent updates and photos, making communication very easy. Thank you!”
“I was very happy with the job Connie did watching my two dogs while my family was away. She is a kind-hearted soul who loves animals, even letting my dogs sleep on her bed with her. Her house is small, but clean and she has a large backyard with a chicken coup and rabbit pen. Constantly updating me with pictures and texts about how the dogs were doing kept me, and more so my wife, at ease that they were well taken care of. I would definitely recommend Connie.”
“Barsha provided a comforting home for my anxious girl! She sent lots of pictures, videos, and updates during the visit on how things were going! We will definitely hire Barsha to help with our girl again :)”
“Natalie was amazing. She took such great care of my dog and kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that my dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. I really appreciate how reliable, kind, and attentive she was. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pet. Thank you so much! 🐾🩵”
“Absolutely awesome job watching Linguini! Pictures and updates were fantastic, I could tell he was having a good time and he was well taken care of! He currently has allergies and she made sure he got his special food and allergy meds! Will definitely use for next time!”
“Liam and his wife took great care of our dog for over a week. This was first time our dog had been away from us and first time using this site. Shadow was well taken care of. Almost to good because the first day we got her back she seemed to be missing her babysitters. I will definitely use Liam again without hesitation. We received pictures daily and Shadow didn’t even loose any weight. Most dogs normally don’t eat for few days after being left but she adjusted just fine.”
“Joseph and Marikris came through on a last-minute reservation and provided exceptional levels of care for my special needs dog. My dog Daisy had been recently diagnosed with IVDD and I was prepared to cancel my trip, but Marikris assured me of her professional veterinary background and familiarity with the condition, and I felt confident trusting J&M with her care. Daisy looked so happy in all the photos they shared, and I feel truly blessed to have found such kind and attentive neighbors to care for my girl. Thank you so much Joseph & Marikris, you guys are amazing and I look forward to working together again 🙌”
“My dog is my kid. So naturally, I'm very choosy about who I let look after her. Sally did a wonderful job keeping her happy and fed, which put me at ease. I appreciated all the pics and videos she sent of her during her stay. We will definitely be back.”
“Abigail is outstanding. Lily had the best time and was very loved during her stay. 100% recommend and we look forward to booking a future stay 💗 thank you so much for all the love and care, Abigail!”
“Peter is our go to sitter for our high energy German shepherd pup! We don’t trust our young pup to many people (even family), and Tato always is so well looked after here”
“Excellent! Our senior dog and puppy both loved their stay. We got lots of pictures and videos while we were away. I felt in the loop the whole time. He answered my question quickly. Helpful reminders and easy drop off and pick up.”
“Biswas was amazing and took great care of my goldendoodle! I boarded Snoopy for 3 weeks during my holiday vacation in Asia and Biswas kept me up-to-date with pictures and videos of how Snoopy was doing. This was also my first time boarding with someone from Rover, and I'm very glad I found Biswas as he made this a great experience and treated my dog with respect and care. Just from connecting with him on our first video call, I can tell that he loves dogs and is a very nice person. When I came over to pick Snoopy up on the last day, it seems that Snoopy wanted to stay longer lol. I cannot recommend him enough and will definitely be booking with him for any future boarding!”
“Gabi was well cared for and loved. She spent a lot of play time in the backyard. I love that Gabi got lots and lots of attention given Kushram being retired. My only gripe would be that I would have liked more updates, but that's only because it was the first time I left my pup with someone else. However, when I would reach out Kushram would get back to me within the hour... I will book with them again.”
“Little Donnie had the best time ever! My main concern is always he’s safety because he likes to explore and wonder around, but Yena’s backyard is so safe and secure that I feel 100% comfortable leaving him there. The best baby sitter ever!”
“I love the photos Ulunma sends me when I’m on a trip, they help when I’m missing my dog. My dog always looks like she’s having a great time and comes home tired every time, giving me a chance to get organized after time away.”
“Ashish and family boarded Penny for a week while I was traveling. They sent me lots of pics of how much fun Penny was having with the family and I wondered if she would even want to come home 😆”
“Luna appeared to have a great time at Allen's home for her 8 night stay. She loved having kids. To play with and sleep on the foot of their beds. I got daily check ins from Allen while away alleviating any worries while ion vacation. Will definitely book with Allen in the future!”
“Brayden and Noel were both amazing! I had to leave on a work trip and left my girl Skye with them for four days. When I picked her up, she was so happy and clearly very well taken care of.”

About: I have a deep passion for all animals and a particular sweet spot for dogs. Growing up surrounded by pets gave me hands-on experience caring for everyone from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. In my previous roles as a nanny, my responsibilities often included caring for family cats and dogs, handling feedings, daily walks, and ensuring they remained happy and healthy. I also have specific skills for taking care of exotic pets, in particular pet rats, as I have two myself. Since I currently live in an apartment without the space for a dog of my own, I am looking for ways to spend more time with animals, as they bring me so much joy and keep me active. I am currently enrolled in an online school program and work a few evenings a week. This gives me a very flexible schedule with plenty of availability during the mornings and afternoons to dedicate to your furry friends. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I ensure that our walks take place in parks or quiet areas away from heavy traffic. While in your home, I remain attentive and vigilant to ensure your pets are safe, comfortable, and well-supervised at all times.
“Isaiah did a great job checking in on my two cats over a long weekend! He was very communicative, reliable, and my cats seemed to warm up to him quickly! I will definitely plan to use Isaiah again in the future.”
“Saylor did an excellent job taking care of my kitties. She even earned the trust of the extremely timid one, which is a feat that no other sitter and many friends had failed to do previously. She was attentive throughout her stay with them, and it was clear to me that they felt cared for when I finally got home.”
“Nancy was wonderful with my cats! She was so sweet and they seemed to warm up to her instantly. She was very helpful accommodating when the timing of my plans changed and I was confident that my cats were well cared for while I was away. I will definitely request Nancy’s services again in the future!”
About: I have loved animals since I first learned what an animal was and 27 years into life I haven't stopped! I have 7+ years of dog/cat/house sitting experience and I can administer medications if needed, along with taking care of other typical pet sitting tasks such as feeding, walking, playing, bathing, and of course, offering lots of affection and pets! Currently I’m in school (mostly online) for pre vet-med and working just as a pet sitter so I have plenty of free time to watch over your fur babies! :) I am always willing to personalize my services to best conform to your pets' medical, physical, and emotional well-being, just let me know what specific needs your pet(s) have and I will cater to them!
About: Cats have a special place in my heart. When taking neighborhood walks, I'll stop for any cat that wants a pet. My friends call me the cat whisperer because I can get even the most shy cat to warm up to me. I've had cats since I was 7 years old and currently have a fluffy tuxedo whose litter box is cleaned daily and who gets brushed, fed, and played with every day.
“Stefanie was the best choice for our little Sesame. He’s a very people-focused kitten, so we were a little anxious leaving him with someone else, but we immediately knew he would be in good hands. Stefanie made sure she was aware of all his habits, feeding preferences, etc. and sent us photos throughout his stay. She really put our minds at ease and we couldn’t recommend her more.”
“Tessa is truly a hidden gem! Not only did she take wonderful care of our cats and shower them with attention, but she also looked after our home and plants beautifully. She responded quickly to our messages, and when we returned, the house was spotless, as if she had never been there. We couldn’t recommend her more highly!”
“Natalia helped us to be finally able to take a vacation together! It had been 2 years since our cat developed diabetes and we have been too scared to leave the twice daily insulin injections to just anyone. Luckily, Natalia was experienced and able to jump right in even with the 5:30am and 5:30pm injections. She also send us updates each time! Our cats also sometimes have litter box issues and she followed all instructions without issue! We will definitely hire again!”
“Highly recommend. Caroline was fantastic with our very needy cats that have to be separated (they fight). She always comes when she says she will, keeps you in the loop of day-to-day activities, and sends lots of pictures. Would recommend for anyone who needs a cat sitter.”
About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life and currently have two energetic huskies, so I’m very comfortable with active breeds that need plenty of exercise and attention. I understand that every dog has a different personality and routine, and I always take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. I’m reliable, organized, and happy to keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away. I work full-time during the week, but I’m available in the evenings, on weekends, and on many holidays for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to keep pets on their normal routine. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of exercise, attention, and care, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions before every visit. I’ll make sure they have fresh water, plenty of exercise, playtime, and lots of attention while treating your home with the utmost respect. I always double-check leashes, gates, and doors to keep pets safe, and I’ll send regular photo and message updates so you can feel confident your pet is receiving the best possible care.
About: I've taken care of cats and even helped train them since I was a toddler. I absolutely love caring for cats. I’m very patient and gentle, and I give them time to warm up at their own pace. I’m often told, “They never come out for people,” or “How did you get them to play? They’re usually so shy!” I truly enjoy getting to know each cat’s personality and routine so they feel comfortable, curious, and secure while you’re away.
About: Previously owned and trained our family dog until his passing some years ago. I have birds, fish, and have been caring for family friends' dogs. I am currently willing to help, care, and walk your dogs. A great way to fill in the time as I stay home, go to school, and improve life as to looking forward to care for your dog. My dog was fed a mix of wet and dry food, water bowl always full, and daily drive/park/play/walks/hikes (regarding the weather at the current moment of time).
“Second time using Elizabeth because the first time went so well. One of my cats that’s shy with strangers and usually takes several visits before warning up to people warmed up to her almost immediately!”
“Megan is an outstanding pet sitter. We booked over the holidays at the last minute and Megan accomodated our schedules to complete a meet and greet. We appreciated the attention to detail and promptness for each drop in visit and excellent communication. Our cats were well taken care of. We will book again in the future.”

“First time at Connie’s place was a good one. Teddy enjoyed the large back yard. Connie assured us with several photos of him playing. We will be returning for overnight boarding soon!”
“Thank you for taking good care of Megatron, she sits on our laps alot at home so it’s great to know she’s comfortable at her day care and was able to do the same. Will rebook soon.”
“Our frenchie spent an exciting day with Vanson’s dogs. He loves to run around and that’s exactly what he did. Vanson sent photos and a video of Bentley having fun. This was Bentley’s first stay with Vanson and it was a success.”

What I offer: -Dependable dog walking, drop-in visits, and daytime care. I am willing to consider overnight care for the right pet. -Respect for your pet’s routine: feeding, medication, exercise, and preferred play styles. -Clear, timely communication with photo updates so you always know how your pet is doing. -Safe, attentive care focused on comfort, exercise, and enrichment. Why choose me: -Reliable and responsive — I treat each pet like family and prioritize their safety and happiness. -Flexible schedule (work-from-home most days) means consistent visits and peace of mind. -Energetic and active — I’m looking to stay fit while giving your dog great walks and playtime. I’d love to meet you and your pet for a quick meet-and-greet. Send me a message and let’s set it up! I work from home and I have a flexible schedule. Also, my mother retired early and lives with me and is very active. We have a 3 year old labradoodle that spends most of the day with us and gets a walk every day. I also take breaks and throw toys in the yard. Dog life is built into our schedule. I have a fenced in yard and front porch to keep pets safe. We live in downtown Benicia, in a dog friendly and very walkable neighborhood.
“We had a great experience with Stefanie! She was extremely professional, responsive, and clearly very experienced with dogs. Our Shiba Inu, Arashi, can be a challenging breed, but she handled him with ease and confidence, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Her home is very well set up for dog care, whether for daytime stays or overnight boarding. Everything felt safe, organized, and thoughtful. We really appreciated her communication throughout and would absolutely trust her with Arashi again. Highly recommend!”
About: We have 2 friendly, senior dogs who hang out with me while I WFH. I have plenty of availability for last minute care or for longer term care needs. We have a large, fenced in yard that my dogs enjoy sunbathing in and plenty of time for long walks. I WFH and have a very flexible schedule that allows for last minute requests and long term availability for your travel needs. My family has really enjoyed having additional dogs here to spend time with and we have plenty of hands on deck to meet everyone’s needs. I have a fenced in yard and can keep my eye on your pet throughout the day. Feeding schedules, outside time, walks, etc are all easy for me to accommodate!
“Shadow loved his daycare visits with Neela & family. Neela was able to take us very last-minute for three days of day visits. Neela's house was clean and safe, and we were able to work together on drop-off and pick-up times. Thank you for taking such great care of Shadow!”
“Nicole was a great day care for my dog today! We arranged a little meet and greet the weekend before, which was such an amazing touch. My doggy came back happy! I would definitely reach out to Nicole again :)”
“Kushram and Family are a wonderful find for dog sitting or doggy day care. Give the initial booking request a bit of lead time, as the confirmation that the day/time works may take up to a day to come through. This time I put in a request 9:30pm on a Saturday, and got confirmation Sunday evening. (I suspect requests are processed daily). The initial booking request was the largest gap we experienced in communication, scheduling the meet and greet by messages was easy - they were very responsive and want to ensure you and your pup will be comfortable with their set up and go over any special needs of the dog. Our elder pup Rick was drawn to Kushram and the whole family even on the meet and greet (I think just his wife and adult nephew), as well the drop off day of, and they were able to make him comfortable enough to eat even on a short visit. Given our short booking (only about 3 hrs) we can't really comment on long term pictures/communication during the visit, but I can say I feel pretty happy that I found some place local where I feel comfortable leaving my dog when I need to go somewhere. They also have some experience with some dog special needs, but can help best when they know about it ahead of time. They were not concerned or put off in the slightest by our pups needs (mostly that he's pretty clingy, can get cold easily, and only has 3 teeth and will only eat small pieces of food, and doesn't love hanging out with other dogs), and described other dogs they had watched with similar or more challenging needs such as dog-sitting a blind dog in a new space. Thank you for taking good care of our pup!”
“We highly recommend having Karen watch your dogs, she is like the dog whisperer. Our dogs both had a great time playing with her dogs and were exhausted when we came back to pick them up. They both just blended right in like they had been there before and they have never acted that way before. We will definitely use her again without a doubt.”
“Lori was very thoughtful and communicated very well with us about how our shy 55lb girl was doing on her first day care visit. Lori's home is very clean and has a great backyard for play or lounging. We definitely will set up a sleepover date soon We are very happy with Lori's care of our girl.”
“Jeannette and her family are amazing. My dog loves coming to their house. They are gentle and loving, which I appreciate. We've come back several times for boading and daycare.”
About: I have several years of hands‑on experience caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities and needs. I’ve worked with puppies, seniors, shy or anxious dogs, and high‑energy breeds, as well as those requiring extra medical care. I am comfortable administering medications, following specific routines, and providing attentive, personalized care for each dog. I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and energy levels, and I’m always mindful of subtle signs of stress or discomfort. For nervous or sensitive dogs, I take a calm and patient approach, allowing them to feel safe and comfortable at their own pace. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or quiet companionship, I tailor care to match their personality and routine. My goal is to provide a safe, loving environment where your dog is treated like family and feels right at home. I am available for dog boarding on both weekdays and weekends, offering flexible scheduling to fit your needs. Whether it’s a short stay or an extended visit, I ensure consistent care, attention, and a comfortable routine for your pup throughout their stay. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable home environment for pets. My home has a large fenced backyard where dogs can play, exercise, and enjoy outdoor time safely. I make sure every pet feels relaxed, cared for, and treated like family. I closely follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and special care instructions. Safety, trust, cleanliness, and plenty of attention are always my top priorities.
“Baoying was great with Louie! She provided playtime and exercise for my very playful pet. I also like the way her pet matches Louie’s energy, Louie is a lot calmer when i picked him up.”
“Justine was awesome! She sent pictures and a video of my pup having a great time. Her dog and mine played together and my pup was happily exhausted at the end of the day. I would definitely bring my dog back to Justine.”
“Such a great Dog Sitter. Pictures throughout the day and a great update at the end of the day. Maverick will definitely go back to hang out with Nicole and her beautiful golden. Thank you so much for all the love and care of our fur a baby.”

“Jenna was great for the summer months she walked and took care of Aspen! She was super flexible on schedule. Her walk pictures were excellent! Sad that she is moving out of my area, but wherever she ends up, you can rest assured she will be a great walker for your furry friend!”
About: I offer calm, personalized care in a quiet home where your dog is treated like family, not one of many in a busy boarding facility or a home with multiple dogs. I typically host one household at a time, so your dog gets my full attention, genuine affection, and all the cuddles they can handle. My home is the right fit for friendly dogs who love companionship, walks, and settling into a peaceful routine. I'm especially drawn to dogs who thrive with one-on-one attention rather than the noise and energy of a busy multi-dog environment. I'm certified in Pet CPR, Healing Touch for Animals, and Reiki. And beyond the credentials, I'm deeply attuned to each dog's personality and energy. That attunement is what helps them settle in quickly and feel genuinely at ease. My connection to animals runs deep. I spent five years volunteering at Lindsay Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, working in both the mammal department and wildlife hospital with injured and recovering animals. That experience sharpened my understanding of animal behavior and reinforced something I already believed: animals feel safety before they understand it. My goal is always to create that feeling from the moment your dog arrives! Because I work from home, pets in my care are rarely left alone for long periods and receive plenty of attention, walks, and companionship throughout the day. When pets stay in my home, they become part of a calm and comfortable daily routine. I primarily host dogs from 1 household at a time so each pet receives plenty of individual attention. Dogs here enjoy daily walks, playtime, and relaxed downtime, and I’m home much of the day since I work from home. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs so they feel safe and settled. For drop-in visits or walks in a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, walks, litter care for cats, playtime, and companionship. I’m happy to send photo updates so owners know their pets are doing well.
About: Animals have always been part of my life, and looking after them is something I genuinely enjoy. I have been pet sitting for many years, for friends and family, and I treat every pet like one of my own. I look after cats, dogs, puppies, senior pets birds, lizards, and small animals and offer drop-in visits, and dog walking in Benicia. I will keep you updated with photos and messages throughout, and I will stick to your pet's routine. I have cared for animals my whole life whether it be my own or for others. My volunteer work at the humane society, Suisun Wildlife Center, and International Bird Rescue has strengthened my passion of caring for pets. I would love to meet you and your pet before the first booking. I am newly retired and have a very flexible schedule. My availability will work around caring for my own fur babies. I live near a neighborhood park which I use for dog walking. I will be sure to understand your pet's individual needs and routine. I will do everything I can to foster a fun and enriching experience for your fur baby.
“Vanessa is friendly, communicative, and reliable. I really appreciated how patient she was in allowing my pup Leo to take his time warming up to her—it made a big difference. Highly recommend!”
“Rebecca was great! We have no issues and our dog Molly loved her. We will be reaching out to her in the future for our doggy needs! I would definitely recommend Rebecca to friends.”
“Natalie was great for my dog Buster who is newly adopted. She showed she was comfortable and confident right off the bat and I appreciated that. She really helped me out in a pinch!”
“Maria goes above and beyond to make sure Leo gets a good walk and all his puppy needs are met. She even stopped in for a quick potty break when she was in the area on an extremely hot day. I trust her and highly recommend her!”
“Telena was wonderful! She eased all of my nerves with a new fig that is an escape artist. She have regular updates a photos, she made sure our dog went to the bathroom, and kept her company when she was apprehensive and excitable. She’s a wonderful dog walker and sitter!”
About: Because I treat every dog like family, your pup will feel safe and loved while you’re away. My experience with different breeds means I understand their unique personalities and needs. I can watch your dog most mornings until 2 PM. Saturdays work for me too. If you have special events, we can coordinate beforehand, no problem 😊 Your pet’s comfort is my priority, gentle, attentive care in the space they know and love. Bringing peace of mind with caring visits and familiar routines in your home and walking through your neighborhood.
“Great walker! Christopher was communicative and on time. He was excellent with our energetic puppy with some leash pulling issues. He followed instructions and gave the report that all went well! He’s confident with dogs, especially if they need some training reinforcement. Would totally work with him again!”
About: Hi, I’m Joe — a lifelong dog lover who treats every pup like my own… right down to the love, the cuddles, and the occasional meatball. I’m home all day, so your dog gets constant attention, companionship, and plenty of affection. My home is relaxed and dog-friendly, with a big, fully fenced yard for safe play, sniffing adventures, and stretching their legs. Inside, pups can lounge wherever they feel comfortable — the couch, their bed, or right next to us. At night, everyone’s welcome in the bedroom, whether they prefer their own spot or decide mine looks more comfortable. (It usually does.) Being home all day means your dog gets frequent potty breaks, a calm routine, and tons of quality time. I send regular photo updates so you can see exactly how well your pup is settling in. Along with boarding, I also offer drop-in visits, in-home sitting, and dog walking, giving you flexible and reliable care options. If you’re looking for someone who will genuinely love, spoil, and treat your dog like family — with all the comfort and maybe a meatball or two — I’d be honored to welcome them. I am home full-time, allowing me to provide constant supervision and care. Pet care seamlessly fits into my routine through regular walks, attention, and companionship. In my home, dogs enjoy a large fenced yard, supervised play, and full comfort—allowed on furniture, loved like family, and welcome to sleep beside us.
“Melissa was great. Although my poor scared sensitive rescue Chi always hid from her, Melissa was aware and made sure she did what she could to make Trinket stay calm. She was only able to pet her unfortunately. Trinket is so small she can go and hide in the smallest spaces and it was not easy to get her out. I will definitely use Melissa again once Trinket gains more confidence.”
About: I’ve always had a special connection with animals since I was a child. Throughout my life, I’ve cared for rabbits, ducks, chickens, fish, hamsters, dogs, and cats. My beloved Chihuahuas and kitties have since crossed the rainbow bridge, but I truly believe they would want me to continue sharing my love and compassion with other animals. I’m a caring, gentle person who enjoys talking to, playing with, and spending quality time with animals. I understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs, and I look forward to making your fur baby feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I hope to meet you and your furry family member soon! I'm currently retired and I have time for a drop in visits, feedings and exercise for your pets during the week and weekends. My preferable hours would be 10:30am - 8pm. I may might be able to rearrange my schedule if needed. I provide loving, attentive, and personalized care for every pet as if they were my own. Having cared for animals most of my life, I understand that each pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort needs. In my client’s home,

“Stefanile is a great sitter. She was incredibly accommodating and patient in dealing with my dog—a rather shy, introverted, and somewhat challenging dog. Given her deep understanding of canine personalities and traits, as well as her extensive experience as a sitter, I was able to entrust Chaco to her care with peace of mind. She sent updates and photos, making communication very easy. Thank you!”
“Joseph and Marikris came through on a last-minute reservation and provided exceptional levels of care for my special needs dog. My dog Daisy had been recently diagnosed with IVDD and I was prepared to cancel my trip, but Marikris assured me of her professional veterinary background and familiarity with the condition, and I felt confident trusting J&M with her care. Daisy looked so happy in all the photos they shared, and I feel truly blessed to have found such kind and attentive neighbors to care for my girl. Thank you so much Joseph & Marikris, you guys are amazing and I look forward to working together again 🙌”
“Peter is our go to sitter for our high energy German shepherd pup! We don’t trust our young pup to many people (even family), and Tato always is so well looked after here”
“Biswas was amazing and took great care of my goldendoodle! I boarded Snoopy for 3 weeks during my holiday vacation in Asia and Biswas kept me up-to-date with pictures and videos of how Snoopy was doing. This was also my first time boarding with someone from Rover, and I'm very glad I found Biswas as he made this a great experience and treated my dog with respect and care. Just from connecting with him on our first video call, I can tell that he loves dogs and is a very nice person. When I came over to pick Snoopy up on the last day, it seems that Snoopy wanted to stay longer lol. I cannot recommend him enough and will definitely be booking with him for any future boarding!”
“Little Donnie had the best time ever! My main concern is always he’s safety because he likes to explore and wonder around, but Yena’s backyard is so safe and secure that I feel 100% comfortable leaving him there. The best baby sitter ever!”
“I love the photos Ulunma sends me when I’m on a trip, they help when I’m missing my dog. My dog always looks like she’s having a great time and comes home tired every time, giving me a chance to get organized after time away.”
“Luna appeared to have a great time at Allen's home for her 8 night stay. She loved having kids. To play with and sleep on the foot of their beds. I got daily check ins from Allen while away alleviating any worries while ion vacation. Will definitely book with Allen in the future!”
“Had an absolutely amazing experience having Amanda and Michell watch our Lucy. We’d never left a pet with strangers before, and they couldn’t have made the process more comfortable. Amanda sent daily photos and a brief note on what they did that day. Lucy got to go on many long walks and hikes, and really became part of their family. At the end of her stay, we received a report card on Lucy’s behavior, which was the cutest thing ever. Without hesitation, I’d use Amanda and Michell again, and highly recommend them to anyone needing a pet sitter.”
About: I’ve been working with animals since my teenage years, including 2 years at a pet store and assisting at multiple dog expos starting at age 16. I’ve owned and raised dogs throughout my life—one lived to 17 years old, and I currently have a 3-year-old friendly miniature poodle. I personally house-trained both of my dogs and have strong hands-on experience with daily care routines, including feeding, walking, bathing, nail trimming (for cooperative dogs), and light grooming such as basic haircuts. I’m comfortable managing a structured, calm environment and have experience caring for multiple pets at home, including my two outdoor cats. Pet care fits very naturally into our daily routine. We are a family of six, and I am home 24/7, so dogs will never be left alone for long periods. I have a flexible schedule that allows for regular walks, supervised outdoor time, and attention throughout the day. My large gated property makes it easy to provide safe exercise, and we structure the day to keep dogs calm, engaged, and well cared for. Dogs in my home are treated like part of the family. I provide a calm, structured environment with 24/7 supervision, so your pet is never left alone for long periods. I follow each dog’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, and any special instructions. Dogs enjoy supervised outdoor time on our large, fully gated property, as well as long walks in our safe, dog-friendly neighborhood. Safety is our priority—we introduce dogs carefully, feed separately when needed, and adjust supervision and leash use based on each dog’s personality. Our friendly miniature poodle helps create a welcoming environment.
“Malia has been such a reliable and capable sitter for our husky. It’s a relief to have someone you can count on when you’re out of town! Our dog is excited to see her and always returns to us a happy girl.”
“Huda was wonderful. I can tell she really loved my dog and was able to work with him as he can be anxious on walks. He came home happy and I could tell he was comfortable. Huda really seems to have a way with dogs, she gets them. She’s also a great communicator and kind person. Thank you Huda, we are so happy to have found you!”
“Matthew takes such great care of Pemba and is a great communicator-sends us photos everyday and is quick to respond. Pemba loves hanging out with Luna and playing ball in the backyard. Thanks for being so trustworthy!”
“Allison was absolutely fantastic! She and her husband could not have been any kinder. Our dog felt comfortable with her immediately at our meet and greet, and did great with them in their home while we were away. Allison’s communication was great, she sent multiple photos and videos each day, showing how happy our pup was. We will absolutely be leaving our dog with her again in the future, we can’t thank her enough!”
“Once again, Pratik and his wife did a fantastic job watching my dogs. Always a class act, I know that when I leave my kiddos with him, they will be safe, catered, and exercised. He is my de facto choice for dog sitting.”
“Provided great care and updates. Even with all of Hudson nuances of not wanting to walk unless it’s with minimum of two people, Nikki and her husband was able to care for Hudson while we were away visiting family in France for 3 weeks. Thanks again.”
“I highly recommend Niraj! Our bulldog Wally has a lot of anxiety and is a often tough to watch because of his energy. Niraj was so great with him and made us feel at ease while we were away traveling. He provided daily updates and had a great calm energy that Wally needed in a sitter. He was also very responsive in his communication and flexible. We will definitely be going back to Niraj in the future!”
“Kamila was amazing with my two dogs! She was very responsive, sent regular updates and photos, and made sure to follow all of their care instructions including my dog’s strict prescription diet. Both pups were happy, well cared for, and clearly felt comfortable and loved during her stay. I felt totally at ease knowing they were in such great hands. Highly recommend Kamila to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter! 🐾💛”
“We had an amazing experience boarding Banana with Justine. She’s super nice and knowledgeable about caring for dogs. She was awesome at sending pictures and video updates. She has a wonderful yard and house with plenty of room to play. Banana had a great time staying with Justine.”
