“Stefanie was so great with our boy. From the start she was super communicative and attentive to his needs. We got daily updates and she was flexible when we had some last minute change of plans. Overall I felt at ease knowing our boy was in good hands.”
“I had a great experience with Vanson! He provides a very safe space for drop-offs and has a wonderful, pet-friendly backyard. Vanson has a great attitude and kept me at ease with frequent updates and plenty of photos. Highly recommended!”
“Jennifer and her family will absolutely give you peace of mind when you leave your furry pet with her. She’s the absolute best and has been my go to when I need extra help with our puppy. TY!”
“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!”
“Honestly, I'm still trying to figure out what will happen if Lauren is not available for my fur babies. Nylah and Whitney exhibited behavior with Lauren that they truly don't do when I'm not around. It's not just that my babies were cared for they were loved. And trust, animals absolutely will show you if they weren't loved up on. 10/10 recommended!”
“Hannah’s the best! Has a wonderful house and yard for dogs to run around and play. Takes great care of our dog every time and sends lots of pictures. Would recommend to anybody!”
“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!”
“We did a meet and greet with Karen and got great vibes right off the bat. Our Tessa (55lb AmStaff) is a "nervous girl" and she was fine at Karen's home with her 2 dogs. We did a daytime doggie care and Karen sent pics (which of course we loved) without us even asking. We are most pleased and Tessa was a smiley girl all afternoon.”
“Barsha was an absolutely amazing dog sitter! We couldn’t be happier with the care Homie received. She was attentive, reliable, and treated my pup like her own. We got great updates, photos, and total peace of mind the entire time. Homie came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. Highly recommend! Will definitely be booking again!”
“Allen and his family took great care of my energetic young dog during our vacation. Communication with good, and we enjoyed seeing pics and videos of her from time to time. She seemed like a happy cared-for dog when we got back. Allen seems to have a calm presence with dogs and a love for them that shows, and I would feel very good about leaving my dog in his care again.”
“Our dog Pipo is always very happy and excited to see Peter. Peter has always taken such a good care of him, making everything much easier for us while away from home. This is our 4th or 5th time leaving him with Peter. We highly recommend him.”
“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.”
“Our pup had a great time with this loving family! Maria is very communicative and sent updates throughout the stay, and the girls are so sweet and gentle with our dog! I’m sure she’ll be excited to see them again!”
“. Felt extremely comfortable leaving our little puppy. They sent lots of pictures, which helped being that I was sad to leave him behind. This was the first time boarding our puppy and they made the process smooth and pleasant. We will be back.”
“Repeat customers here! Bear is at home with Shirley & Tim. It's so nice to be able to trust someone with our special furry family member while we're away. We get photos, videos & frequent updates 🧡”
“Darren took great care of our maltipoo Nutmeg! Good communication and pictures. Nutmeg went on walks and a car ride every day. Darren works from home which is great for our sociable dog. Nutmeg got to hang out with Darren’s good dog Saturn. Darren has a beautiful fenced grass yard and we will have Nutmeg stay again.”
“Abigail is awesome!! Not only did she take our dog in for the weekend on a last minute notice (we were scrambling to find a sitter and messaged her only a few days before our trip), but she was super professional, kind, and responded to all our messages right away. She also sent us pictures and videos of Snoopy throughout his stay. We will definitely book her again in the future!!”

“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.
“Elizabeth was wonderful in looking after Nilly! Very prompt in responding to messages and always provided great updates during visits. Nilly has a daily medication that needs to be given at the same time each day and Elizabeth made sure we knew she got her meds on time each day. I would definitely recommend Elizabeth!”
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: 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.
“Megan was spectacular with our little man! The quality time she spent with our kitty ensured he was not anxious or stressed out when we returned from our weekend trip like he normally is.”
“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.”
“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.”
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: 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: 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).
“Stephanie is the best! She took care of my fur babies while I was out of town on a work trip! I rarely trust others with my fur babies but she is very trustworthy and goes above & beyond! Will definitely book again when I need a fur babysitter. Thanks Steph!”
“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.”
“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!”

“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!”
“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!”
“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 me: -Lifelong dog owner — I’ve had several dogs and believe they’re the best companions. -Years of pet-sitting/walking experience for friends and neighbors, caring for both dogs and cats. -General Manager of a small local business since 1999 — I’m highly organized, dependable, and used to juggling schedules and responsibilities. -Single mom of three; I work from home most days, so your pet will get plenty of attention, companionship, and regular routines. 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.
“Hannah provided exceptional care to my dog Leo in her lovely home. She is very friendly and easy to communicate with. Her pups welcomed my pup as soon as they met and they had a great time playing in her yard. I loved the updates and pics she sent throughout the day too. I highly recommend her and would love to use her services in the future.”
“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.”
About: I grew up as the daughter of a professional dog trainer—my mother—and have carried on her love for all animals. I was taught how to handle reactive, nervous dogs with calm gentle confidence, keep high-energy dogs busy with engaging activities, and give mindful care of dogs that have any special needs. Dogs have been a part of my life since birth, including my 15 year old boy Chunk that is so disarming, he makes an excellent companion for even the most nervous dogs. I’ve gained a broad amount of experience as the go-to enthusiastic dog sitter for all my friends and family’s pets. I would love share a warm, welcoming home with your pet where nightly snuggles on the couch are the norm. 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.
“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!”
“Our pup had another great visit with Darren and his family! She is happy and comfortable during drop off and pick up. She loves to play with their dog and they take her on walks. We are grateful for Darren M and his family doggie 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.
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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 :)”
“Karen was great. She was really prompt to respond to messages. She took our dog on a long hike/run, and was very flexible about accommodating our pick-up time. Our dog came home wiped and happy!”
“Barsha was absolutely amazing! This was my first time using Rover for my 11 month old Havanese-Shih Tzu-Poodle mix (Puka) and Barsha made it so easy. Her communication was insanely quick when I sent a last minute day care request and she explained how it all worked. The day of day care was amazing, I got tons of pictures and videos and when I picked Puka up she was so happy! Barsha felt like family immediately and I will be using her again for Puka's care!”
“My baby Kona doesn’t go anywhere else. She loves P. I get photos and cute videos all the time. She also knows every time we are going to her house and runs directly for her door barking. She has a blast every time”

“Jenna has been walking my girl Ellie while my foot is broken and she has been absolute life saver! She’s keeping Ellie safe while making sure she gets the exercise she needs and I couldn’t be more grateful.”
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.
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.
“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!”
“Telena does an amazing job walking our 4-year-old collie with back and hip issues, even in our very hilly neighborhood. She’s very sensitive to signs that he needs to stop and head home, and I know that he enjoys his walks because he gets excited every time her car pulls up. She has a true gift with dogs!”
“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!”
About: I don’t have any animals that live with my daughter and I which means when your gone and we get to care for your pet we get to give them all that love and attention she/he deserves. I’ve pet sitted since I was like 12, house sat since I was 16. I have my own house, I’m just trying to get a little extra cash and teach my daughter all the lovely duties behind having an animal around. Also, to help her understand all the responsibilities in having a home and that money doesn’t come easy. You have to work for it. My daughter won’t be around every visit. But eventually when she’s older I’d like her to dog sit to become more responsible. Hope to meet y’all soon.
“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.”
“Gerald is a great dog walker Friendly and reliable. I was in town pet sitting and didn’t feel confident to walk such and energetic dog ! Gerald responded to my Rover request. Couldn’t have asked for a better Dog Walker”
“Stephanie was a wonderful walker for our two dogs while we were out of the country visiting my husband's parents. Very kind, communicative, and supportive with my mother-in-law who needed a little extra help and was watching our dogs for us. Highly recommend!”
“Plus not be more happy with Joseph!! He went above and beyond , and made us comfortable to be out of the country knowing he was walking our boys! One is a very young, strong , stubborn lab and he led him with expertise !! I’ll definitely use him again . You should too !”
About: Over the past four years, I’ve raised and trained my corgi, Milo, through both group classes and one-on-one sessions. This hands-on experience has taught me how to build trust, reinforce confidence, and provide attentive, compassionate care to dogs of all personalities. I'm currently in a hybrid Physical Therapy program which allows me to have a flexible schedule. This allows me the flexibility to provide care throughout the day. At my place, I make sure pets feel right at home. I keep things calm, cozy, and safe, with plenty of playtime, cuddles, and attention. I stick to their usual routine as much as possible—whether it’s feeding, walking, or nap time—so they feel comfortable and cared for.
“Natalie was flexible with scheduling, especially with only a few days advanced notice. She was punctual and able to walk my occasionally reactive dog. It’s hard for us to leave him but I knew he was in good hands based on a prior experience. I will absolutely book her again. Thank you Natalie!”
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,
About: I've been a lifelong animal lover. I've had pets all my life including dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, lizards, birds. I've helped rescue and foster several dogs from Martinez Contra Costa Animal Services because I believe every life is precious. My workdays are flexible. Please request days and times and I can schedule something that works with you if it doesn't conflict with other scheduled pet care. I have a fenced yard and 1 adult dog who would welcome the company. I can walk your pet daily and feed according to your requirements.

“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!”
“Honestly, I'm still trying to figure out what will happen if Lauren is not available for my fur babies. Nylah and Whitney exhibited behavior with Lauren that they truly don't do when I'm not around. It's not just that my babies were cared for they were loved. And trust, animals absolutely will show you if they weren't loved up on. 10/10 recommended!”
“Hannah’s the best! Has a wonderful house and yard for dogs to run around and play. Takes great care of our dog every time and sends lots of pictures. Would recommend to anybody!”
“We did a meet and greet with Karen and got great vibes right off the bat. Our Tessa (55lb AmStaff) is a "nervous girl" and she was fine at Karen's home with her 2 dogs. We did a daytime doggie care and Karen sent pics (which of course we loved) without us even asking. We are most pleased and Tessa was a smiley girl all afternoon.”
“Allen and his family took great care of my energetic young dog during our vacation. Communication with good, and we enjoyed seeing pics and videos of her from time to time. She seemed like a happy cared-for dog when we got back. Allen seems to have a calm presence with dogs and a love for them that shows, and I would feel very good about leaving my dog in his care again.”
“Our dog Pipo is always very happy and excited to see Peter. Peter has always taken such a good care of him, making everything much easier for us while away from home. This is our 4th or 5th time leaving him with Peter. We highly recommend him.”
“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.”
“Our pup had a great time with this loving family! Maria is very communicative and sent updates throughout the stay, and the girls are so sweet and gentle with our dog! I’m sure she’ll be excited to see them again!”
“Justine was a fantastic sitter. Our dog had a wonderful time with Justine and her family. We loved the frequent updates with pictures and videos, and Justine asked great questions ahead of her stay to ensure she knew our dog and her quirks. We will definitely book with Justine again and highly recommend her.”
“Kamila was THE best puppy mama to Kaen during our weeklong vacation! She made his first time away easy, comfortable, and calming for him. Kamila was extremely responsive to Kaen’s needs and would update me daily on his activities with her. I especially appreciated how intentional, loving, and dedicated Kamila was with Kaen while under her care - he was by her side all day/night long!! I will definitely hire Kamila again in the near future - she is simply a GEM!”
“Neela was awesome! She spent lots of quality time with our pit. She was great about sending us pictures and videos during his stay. He went on walks, sunbathed in the backyard, and got to be her sidekick at home while she worked. She even gifted us with a Polaroid picture of him playing as a sweet personal touch! It is now hanging up in the dashboard of my car. So cute! ❤️ we’ve already asked if she will dog sit again for a longer time while we go to Jamaica. We knew he was loved and happy! That’s all we could ask for.”
“Stacy was such a great fit for our healer with big feelings! She is knowledgeable, kind and easy to communicate with. Stacy sent pics and updates - and it was clear at pickup that Cali enjoyed her stay.”
“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.”
“Colleen is absolutely wonderful. My dogs were so excited to see her when she arrived to pick them up. She and her husband, Paul, take our dogs on lots of adventures, shower them with love and attention, and they send daily updates and pictures. She is good about administering medication, very flexible and even introduced us to the fun of giving the dogs a snuffle mat dog toy. We know our dogs will be well taken care of while we are away when they stay with Colleen and that is everything! We highly recommend Colleen.”
“Lisa is the Gem of all Gems! She made my dog feel comfortable immediately, and me too :) She was responsive, flexible, kind, and generous with her (dog) love! Hats off to Lisa, she’s the best!”
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.
