“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.”
“Our dog loved staying at Stefanie’s with her dog Prince. She always sent us updates and pictures. We would love to rebook with her in the future because she’s amazing!”
“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! 🐾🩵”
“Another great stay for my dog! I feel so comfortable having my pup stay with Huda. I know she genuinely loves him and goes above and beyond to care for him. She walks him and makes sure he has lots of play time and love. She even got him a birthday gift. He is excited to see her and is happy when I arrive to get him. I am grateful to have found Huda. She’s fantastic!”
“Sant was absolutely wonderful with Westley! He was incredibly attentive and took great care of him while we were away. His communication was excellent throughout his stay, and he regularly sent us pictures and videos, which really gave us peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for.”
“Lauren was the best. A beautiful home with a nice little yard for my older boxer. She works from home so she’s home quite a bit which really helps my clingy boy m. I had a ton of pictures and text. She took a great care of him. He was so happy. thank you so much Lauren!”
About: Hi! I’m one of those people who can’t walk past a dog without saying hi. If I see a dog while I’m out, I’m probably the person asking, “Can I pet your dog?” My child is exactly the same way! We’re both naturally drawn to dogs and genuinely enjoy having them around. Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Three of my own dogs were with me for 16, 16, and 18 years, and they truly became members of the family. I understand how much our dogs mean to us and how important it is to feel comfortable with the person caring for them when we can’t be there. Our current dog, Pancake, is a rescue and a small, friendly girl who enjoys having company. She’s an important part of our family and will be your pup’s little host during their stay! I also volunteered at two animal shelters, where I spent time caring for dogs with different personalities and needs. I am patient, attentive, and respectful of each dog’s individual temperament. I have a large, fully fenced yard where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time. My home is a good fit for dogs who are comfortable around children and other dogs. Because I have a child at home 50% of the time, your dog must be comfortable and safe around children. I also want every dog who stays here to feel comfortable with Pancake, so I take introductions and meet-and-greets seriously. ❤️ What I Want for Your Dog I want your dog to feel like they are staying in a home where they are genuinely cared for, not simply being dropped off somewhere for the night. I’ll take the time to learn your dog’s routine, personality, favorite things, and anything that helps them feel comfortable. Whether your pup wants to run around the yard, play with Pancake, follow us around the house, or curl up somewhere cozy, I’ll respect their individual personality. During their stay, I’ll provide: 🐾 A comfortable home environment 🐾 A large, fully fenced yard 🐾 Regular potty breaks and outdoor time 🐾 Attention, companionship, and affection 🐾 Meals according to your instructions 🐾 Their normal routine as much as possible 🐾 Photo updates so you can see how they’re doing 🌿 New to Rover, Not New to Caring for Dogs I’m just getting started on Rover, so I’m offering introductory pricing while I build my profile and get to know local families. While I’m new to Rover, caring for dogs is something I’ve been doing throughout my life. I’m looking forward to getting to know some wonderful dogs and their people and hopefully becoming someone you feel comfortable calling whenever you need a home away from home for your pup. I’d love to meet you and your dog and see if we’re a good fit! 🐶❤️ I’m available for boarding at evenings and weekends. All-day-Thursdays are also available. Walks from 6-7 a.m. - Mondays and Tuesdays Walks from 5-6 p.m. or 6-7 p.m. - Mondays and Tuesdays My yard is fully fenced, my dog is friendly, and the dogs will be welcome inside the home and on furniture as well. I really want them to feel they are in they home-away-form-home
“Karen was a wonderful host for Roxy while we were away for our wedding. Roxy loved playing with her two poodles and we appreciated her photo updates and flexibility with drop off and pickup times.”
“Luis and Vivian are very friendly and caring. They were easy to communicate with and helpful in accommodating our schedule. Our dog was very happy to stay with them, and we'll be sure to reach out again if we need a petsitter in the future!”
“Having to leave behind a pet is already heart breaking enough and then to look for a reliable pet sitter is another challenge. Fortunately we found Vanson, he took care of our dog, Brodie, for 2.5 weeks and kept in touch with us the entire time with messages, pictures and videos of their activities. It was comforting to know that our pet was in good hands and well cared for. We will definitely entrust Brodie with Vanson again in the future.”
“Joseph and Mari were awesome! They provided updates and photos of Panda’s stay with them! Very friendly and communicative, I will absolutely use them for future boarding for Panda.”
“Liam and Nadia did a great job of keeping us in the loop with Archer. He seems to have adjusted well and has come home a happy boy! We will happily book again with them in the future ❤️”
“Justine is awesome overall! She is kind, caring, pays great attention to detail and is very responsive. Xander was with Justine for a week and we were at peace knowing that he was with someone who cared about him as much as we do! Additionally, her pup Bodi just wants to play with your dog :) On her end, Justine also kept us in the loop the whole time with regular pics and videos and went above and beyond in caring for Xander with regular walks, play time and park time! I recommend her with no reservations and would happily board Xander with her again.”
About: I bring more than 20 years of professional experience in veterinary medicine and animal welfare, caring for pets and supporting the people who love them. My background includes veterinary hospital leadership and many years with the San Francisco SPCA, and I'm also Fear Free Certified. I have extensive experience with pets of all ages, personalities, and needs, including puppies, seniors, anxious or fearful pets, multi-pet households, medication routines, and pets who may need a little extra patience and attention. My Fear Free training helps me recognize signs of fear, anxiety, and stress and adjust my approach so each pet can feel as safe and comfortable as possible. My veterinary background also means I pay attention to the little things. I'm accustomed to noticing changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, energy, or overall wellbeing and communicating concerns promptly. Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care. I'll treat your pets like they're my own, follow their routines closely, and make sure you get plenty of updates and photos while you're away. My schedule is currently very flexible, which gives me plenty of availability for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. I'm available weekdays and weekends and can accommodate morning, daytime, and evening visits. I also understand how important consistency is for pets, so I'll do my best to keep their normal feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routines intact while you're away. With more than 20 years of experience in veterinary medicine and animal welfare and Fear Free certification, I'm very comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, behaviors, ages, and needs. When caring for pets in your home, I'll follow your instructions closely and treat your home with the same care and respect I'd want someone to show mine. I'll double-check doors, gates, leashes, and other safety details, keep your pet's environment clean, and provide detailed updates and photos so you always know how things are going. I know you're trusting me with two things that matter enormously—your pet and your home—and I don't take either responsibility lightly.
“Sally is amazing!!! My wire hair fox Terrier, Alfie had a great time. He loved playing in her large yard with the other dogs. Sally sent photos and videos of him during his stay. I would definitely use her again and recommend her to others. Thank you Sally for taking such great care of my fur baby!!!”
“Styles loves his time at Peter's house.. So much play time. The back yard is doggy paradise. Peter went out of his way to pamper my dog and even supplemented his food when I underestimated. Five Stars!”
“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.”
“We had a great experience with Sarah! She was a great communicator, took note of our care instructions, kept us updated during our trip, and most importantly, our dog had a great time with Sarah’s pup and family.”
“Allen and his family did a great job taking care of my dog for our long vacation. They make drop-off easy and communicate well and send lots of fun pics and videos. She has stayed with Allen before, and is happy to see the family when I bring her again. I feel confident that she will be safe and have a good time there.”
“We have entrusted our pup in Manny’s care a number of times now, and we feel at ease knowing she is in good hands. We love that Manny takes her on regular walks and that his dog Winnie is a companion for her. It’s great that Manny has a doggie door, so she is free to go outside when she wants. We always appreciate the photos Manny sends of our pup while we are away. Thanks for taking such good care of our pup!”

“Elizabeth was incredible with my cats, especially since one of my cats can be a handful! She took great care of everything while we were away. Very trustworthy and great service!”
“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 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.”
“Joseph was great! Couldn't have asked for more. Made me feel very comfortable having him come by and check in on my kitty. Very trustworthy and communicated with me at all times including photos. He will be my go to guy. I highly recommend him!”
“Jennifer was great and available at the last minute. She came when we scheduled, left notes, and even brought treats (asking about allergies first of course). Highly recommended! Thank you!”
About: I have been dog sitting and house sitting since I was around 10 and have helped a lot of neighbors, friends, and family. I love training puppies the basics like sit and shake. I am currently in college but I do it all online so I have plenty of time to play and take care of the animals. I try my best to accommodate the animal I am watching by playing with their toys, feeding them as scheduled, and taking them on walks.
“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.”
“Taylor was a wonderful sitter for my cat. He warmed up to her right away, even though he is typically very shy. I truly appreciated the kindness and care she showed toward both him and me. Taylor provided wonderful photos and detailed Rover Cards throughout each visit, which was especially reassuring for me. She also handled his slightly complicated meal preparation with ease and demonstrated excellent attention to detail. I look forward to working with Taylor again in the future and would absolutely recommend her cat sitting services. Thank you again for everything, you made it so much easier for me to relax and enjoy my time away knowing he was in good hands!”
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!
“Christopher was great! He was super communicative throughout the entire stay, and I felt like our cats were in good hands. I would definitely have him watch our cats again in the future.”
“My kitties had a great stay with Vanson. Even my skiddiah kitty warmed up to him. They loved the indoor catio and the balcony turned catio so much they asked for one at our house. Vanson was easy to communicate with and provided nice updates. I would definitely keep my kitties with Vanson again.”
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.
“Megan always goes above and beyond! Our house was invaded by ants while we were away and she tackled it all as if it were her own home and pets ❤️ The level of service and Megan's unwavering sense of responsibility are always so impressive and appreciated!”
About: I’ve cared for pets for the past 17 years with a focus on puppy training and development including potty training and behavioral training to socialize pups. I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule, so I am available to provide the love, care, and attention for your pup on a daily basis. I have a fenced porch yard with a doggie door for dogs to choose where they want to spend their time. I also have a dachshund-mix (Winnie) to keep your fur baby company. Additionally, I have many crates and beds available for dogs that prefer indoors.
“Hali was responsive and clearly knows a lot about cats. She took great care of my cat while I was away for a long weekend. She went above and beyond with my kitty and my home! I’ll definitely ask her to stay again in the future.”
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).

“Stefanie took amazing care of my sweet dog during a bout of IBS. She kept me up to date with lots of check ins and was super flexible when I needed to change dates. I cannot recommend Stefanie enough!”
“We had such a great first experience with Sara! She was incredibly warm and welcoming, and I felt very comfortable leaving Fifi in her care. I really appreciated the updates and photos throughout the day, as well as how attentive she was to Fifi and her individual needs. It was wonderful to hear that she had fun with Sara’s family, including her sweet dog Shadow, and was getting lots of attention and love throughout the day. Fifi was happy and comfortable when I picked her up, which means everything to me. I would absolutely feel good about leaving her with Sara again and I look forward to Fifi’s future stays with her!”
“Best dog care experience I have ever had! Blueberry was handled with the utmost professional care and exceeded my expectations. Vanson is so attentive to my dog's personal needs by ensuring she is given her treats I provided and following any instructions given. He has a wonderful backyard with sweet doggos of his own who are very playful and got along great with my dog. He ensures a wonderful experience for both my dog and myself. Took my dog on walks which I could see in the Rover app and sent pics throughout the day of my dog. Such peace of mind! My dog didn't even want to go home with me after having such a good time. Book with Vanson, you will not regret it!”
About: I have over 30 years of experience caring and loving my dogs as well as family members dogs. My experience is with many different dog breeds. I'm currently available to work weekdays as well as weekends to provide you with trusted and dependable dog walking and dog sitting services. I am flexible and can work with all schedules. I am very cautious when walking my dog assuring he is tethered and doesn't get too close to other dogs I don't know and trust. I take care to be aware of my environment when out in public to assure the safety of my dog. I take care to walk my dog only as long as is healthy for him as he's a senior dog. I recognize younger dogs may need to be exercised more to assure proper exercise is had.
“Sant and his lovely peaceful Family has become a part of My Family after ONLY one and a half days' time at there magnificent place.

“Justine could not have been more accommodating in making sure our puppy Theo’s stay was inviting and overall amazing! 10/10 would recommend and looking forward to his next stay with her!”
“Rachel was absolutely wonderful with our girl, Chardonnay! Chardonnay is currently recovering from back surgery, so we were especially nervous about leaving her with someone new. Rachel handled her with so much care, attention, and love, and immediately put us at ease. She was a great communicator and sent us tons of updates and photos throughout her stay, which gave us total peace of mind. It was clear that Rachel is a true dog lover and genuinely cared about Chardonnay’s comfort and well being. She asked all the right questions about how to safely handle and care for her during her post op recovery, which we really appreciated. We could tell Chardonnay was in great hands because she looked so content and completely at ease with Rachel. We would absolutely trust Rachel with Chardonnay again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive, and reliable sitter!”
“Monica is wonderful! I recently used her services to look after my dog and I couldn't be happier. She is incredibly reliable, attentive, and clearly loves animals. It gave me such peace of mind knowing my puppy was in such capable and caring hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and wonderful pet sitter!”
About: I have raised and trained a few dogs from puppies over the years. We are a dog loving home and look forward to meeting yours. I work from home and I am available throughout the day to care for your pet. I can get outside multiple times a day for walks and have free time to keep them company. I encourage good behaviors in and outside of the home with play and the occasional treat if allowed. I will adhere to specific instructions and respect your preferred methods of care when appropriate.
“Jenna has been amazing with our puppy! We were nervous about finding the right person to watch our new puppy, but she put us at ease and has been great. She is so flexible with our crazy schedule and accountable. She’s truly been a life saver, and we will continue to use her now and in the future!”
“During our weekend visit to Sun River, Nikki and her husband watched my very anxious Aussiedoodle for the day while we took kids to an event that was not suitable for dogs. They took wonderful care of her (and me :-), I must add) and I will not hesitate to contact her on our next visit to the area. Thank you, Nikki!”
“Tamiko was great! She took such good care of my French bulldog and was very attentive the whole time. I loved getting frequent updates and photos - it really put me at ease. My little guy was happy and well cared for, and I’d recommend anyone, particularly with a French bulldog, to give her a call!”
About: I grew up as the daughter of a professional dog trainer, so thoughtful, attentive dog care has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. My partner Mitch and I genuinely love having dogs in our home, and we aim to give every guest safe, loving, individualized care. Our sweet 15-year-old dog, Chunk, is a gentle and easygoing host. We also have a cat, so we’re unable to accept dogs with a history of aggression toward dogs or cats. What a stay with us looks like: • Individualized care for puppies, seniors, high-energy, reactive, and special-needs dogs • A comfortable home setting with a secure fenced yard, cozy resting spots, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of companionship • Daily exercise and enrichment tailored to your dog’s interests, from sniff walks and fetch to hikes, puzzles, and light training practice • Extra safety precautions, including a tracking collar during their stay and long leads for safe outdoor exploration • Thoughtful daily updates with high-quality photos and notes about how your dog is doing • Attentive routine care, including medications, post-adventure checks, basic grooming, and close attention to behavior and wellbeing • A fresh send-off, with brushing, ear and paw care, a gentle freshen-up, and washed bedding, blankets, or toys when needed I’m trained in canine CPR and happy to reinforce basic manners while following your preferred training methods. Every guest also goes home with a personalized stay report card with highlights, routines, favorite activities, and a few memorable moments from their visit. Our goal is simple: for your dog to feel less like they’re being boarded and more like they’re staying at a summer camp designed just for them. I work from home so I can be as available as your dog needs. My partner also is home for most of the day, and only works in the evenings so one of us is almost always home. We live surrounded by trails and parks so your dog will have ample adventures during their stay. Every dog will be treated with the same love and care as if they were our own. We have a large fenced yard that they are free to roam, and a cozy home with dog beds everywhere. We allow dogs on couch and bed, though I can maintain any rules you have in your home for consistency. We do also have a cat so we cannot accept any dogs that are in any way aggressive towards cats or small critters.
“Hannah is the best! She is so responsive and sent me several photos and videos throughout the day. She has a perfect big yard for dogs to play in. Our puppy was exhausted by the end of the day because he had so much fun playing! We can’t wait to use Hannah again.”
“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.”

About: I have loved animals ever since I was young! I have a senior dog myself who I've been taking care of for 13 years. I'm very active so I love going on walks. I have experience also taking care of cats when my neighbors would be out of town. I do prefer to only take care of two animals max per household.
“5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We felt so comfortable after our meet-and-greet with Beth! She asked thoughtful questions to get to know our dog and our routine, which gave us a lot of confidence right away. She’s always punctual, sends great pictures, and provides a detailed summary after every walk. We’ve already rebooked and couldn’t be happier with her care!”

About: I have had cats growing up and they lived long healthy lives— almost 20 years old! They were my babies and slept with me every night. 6 years ago, my husband and I adopted Luke (bull terrier) and he is the sweetest most beautiful soul. He would never hurt a fly and has been an angel with our almost 3 year old son. Luke is apart of our family and has severe allergies that we take great care of. I promise to take just as much care of your babies as I do my own! I am a stay at home mom at the moment, but also am an active volunteer at the Martinez animal shelter! My schedule changes every week, but I would love to accommodate as best I can! I treat my pets like family because they are!! Your pet will be no different. If they need snuggles or treats, I’m your gal! I can also give them space if they need it and am happy to pick up their favorite toy and play with them. I love all dogs and cats, so yes, I will let your Great Dane sit in my lap!

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.
“Stephanie is awesome! My big lab is pretty anxious and excitable around new people and she warmed right up to Stephanie. She is super calm, confident, and obviously an experienced dog handler, and I felt great about sending my big fur baby off with her for an adventure. Will definitely be hiring her again for dog walks!”
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: I trained my reactive childhood dog at 16, and had great success! After he passed, I began volunteering at my local shelter. I can’t afford a dog right now, so I have much love saved up to share with everyone else’s dogs! I work part time, and I’m in school. I’m free Mondays after 2pm and Wednesdays after 2pm - Thursday before 4pm for an overnight stay. I have a separate unit in my home where my cats stay when dogs come over, so don’t worry if your dog isn’t cat friendly! I have a large fenced yard, with lots of things to sniff and squirrels to chase.
About: As long as I can remember, I’ve been around dogs and helping care for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve always loved spending time with animals and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and cared for. I’m patient and attentive to each dog’s individual needs and personality. I’m happy to give energetic dogs longer walks and plenty of exercise, while also taking my time with dogs who may be nervous, older, or need a little extra patience. I’ll make sure your dog gets the attention, exercise, and care they need while you’re away. I’m also happy to send photos and updates so you can know how they’re doing. Whether your dog loves to play, go for walks, explore, or simply relax, I’ll treat them with the care they deserve. I have a pretty flexible schedule, so I can dedicate plenty of time to caring for pets throughout the day. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I'm happy to make sure they get the attention and care they need while you're away and pet care is something i genuinely look forward to. I make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I have a fenced yard where pets can enjoy safe outdoor time, as well as a crate available if needed. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality and needs so they feel comfortable in my care. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: I combine years of hands on pet care with a deep sense of responsibility and heart. I’ve cared for everything from energetic puppies to senior pets needing a gentle pace and medication reminders. My experience includes contracted dog and cat sitting in DC, walking reactive dogs, and even coordinating vet visits. I’m great at reading animal behavior, adapting to their needs, and communicating openly with owners. Whether it’s belly rubs, leash manners, or just keeping them safe and happy, I treat every pet like family.🤙🏿😊 I currently work part-time with a flexible schedule & I’m up early. Caring for animals is a meaningful part of my week that brings me joy, movement, and purpose. In your home, I focus on maintaining your pet’s routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I follow feeding instructions, walk and play schedules, and any special care details to the letter. I keep the space clean, double-check that doors and gates are secure, and respect your home like it’s my own. 😊
About: My name is Amanda. I have many years of experience raising/owning dogs as well as am a volunteer for the Napa Animal Shelter. I currently have one dog, Wanda, who is almost 9 years old. I believe it’s important to exercise dogs frequently, keeping them healthy and calm! My dogs are avid hikers and swimmers but also enjoy sticking around at home for walks, staying in the yard, or going on local shorter trails. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out! Thanks! I have a full time job but am very active with my dog. We are out walking morning and evening and on weekends normally hiking or swimming somewhere. Please message me regarding availability. I have a very small house but live on a large property (1 acre) that is fenced in. My dog is very well socialized with other dogs.
“Wonderful! Christopher is communicative, reliable, and great with dogs! He has so helpful with my puppy’s occasional pulling on the leash and does a combo of running and walking when he’s out.”

“Our dog loved staying at Stefanie’s with her dog Prince. She always sent us updates and pictures. We would love to rebook with her in the future because she’s amazing!”
“Another great stay for my dog! I feel so comfortable having my pup stay with Huda. I know she genuinely loves him and goes above and beyond to care for him. She walks him and makes sure he has lots of play time and love. She even got him a birthday gift. He is excited to see her and is happy when I arrive to get him. I am grateful to have found Huda. She’s fantastic!”
“Karen was a wonderful host for Roxy while we were away for our wedding. Roxy loved playing with her two poodles and we appreciated her photo updates and flexibility with drop off and pickup times.”
“Luis and Vivian are very friendly and caring. They were easy to communicate with and helpful in accommodating our schedule. Our dog was very happy to stay with them, and we'll be sure to reach out again if we need a petsitter in the future!”
“Joseph and Mari were awesome! They provided updates and photos of Panda’s stay with them! Very friendly and communicative, I will absolutely use them for future boarding for Panda.”
“Justine is awesome overall! She is kind, caring, pays great attention to detail and is very responsive. Xander was with Justine for a week and we were at peace knowing that he was with someone who cared about him as much as we do! Additionally, her pup Bodi just wants to play with your dog :) On her end, Justine also kept us in the loop the whole time with regular pics and videos and went above and beyond in caring for Xander with regular walks, play time and park time! I recommend her with no reservations and would happily board Xander with her again.”

“Styles loves his time at Peter's house.. So much play time. The back yard is doggy paradise. Peter went out of his way to pamper my dog and even supplemented his food when I underestimated. Five Stars!”
“Allen and his family did a great job taking care of my dog for our long vacation. They make drop-off easy and communicate well and send lots of fun pics and videos. She has stayed with Allen before, and is happy to see the family when I bring her again. I feel confident that she will be safe and have a good time there.”

“5 Paws! Ruth was absolutely wonderful! She took excellent care of my two dogs, Bear (my 8-year-old Morkie) and Ginger (my 14-year-old Cockapoo). They both have special needs, and Ruth was incredibly attentive, patient, and caring with each of them. She took them on long walks, kept me updated with photos, and every single picture showed two happy, smiling pups who were clearly enjoying themselves and felt completely at ease. That gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Ruth to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable dog sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Hannah and her home are everything we were looking for in a person and in a place to keep our pup when on vacation. Hannah is extremely responsive and is a great communicator. She has a great fenced in back yard for the pups to play as well. We most definitely will be back next time we have to head out of town!”
“Kendra was wonderful with my pit/lab mix Apollo! Her yard is huge and great for dogs, Kendra was super sweet and accommodating with Apollo, and she sent nice updates on how he was doing :)”
“Chris and his family did an amazing job of taking care of my Boston Terrier, Zoe. Chris provided multiple photos/videos and text updates each day to let me know Zoe was doing well. Not only that, they truly welcomed Zoe into their family, and treated her like one of their own. I hate to admit it, but Zoe was a little sad to be leaving, because Zoe is very social and loved being in a house with 4 people, and three dogs, while I live alone. I highly recommend Chris to anyone wanting to make sure their pet is well cared for during their vacation or time away from home.”
“Sabrina has been a fantastic sitter for Riley, taking great care of him each time. Her reliability and warmth made the experience stress-free, and Riley always seemed happy and well cared for. Thanks Sabrina!”
“Jess was responsive and commucative throughout. She did a great job taking care of my pup - he came back very tired, like he just spent a week at camp. Thank you for taking him to the dog park and the many photos and videos - really appreciate it. 10/10, would absolutely recommend.”
“Nikki and her family were absolutely amazing with our dog, LeBron, during his week-long stay in their home. They welcomed him like part of the family and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. They sent daily updates and photos, which truly made our day and gave us peace of mind knowing he was being so well cared for. He also had a great time playing with their older dog, Edie, and it was clear he felt comfortable and happy throughout his stay. Their communication was outstanding from start to finish, and you can tell they genuinely love the dogs they care for. They even went above and beyond by being flexible when our travel plans unexpectedly changed and were able to keep him for an extra day. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and highly recommend Nikki and her family to anyone looking for caring, trustworthy, and reliable sitters. We will absolutely book with them again.”
“This was our first time boarding our two golden retrievers and Virginie and Maxime were wonderful to my girls! They played with them, took them on walks, and included them in their family activities. They sent me pictures and videos so I knew that they were taken care of and having fun. I’ve already recommended them to two of my friends!”
