“Ciana and family are wonderful, welcoming, & loving furry friends. I was sent photos of my baby while I was away, this helped me know she was happy and was in good hands. All of my suggestions for care were used to better facilitate a good experience. My baby is blind, deaf and 15 years old, she needs to be watched closely and at all times while active, not an easy animal to board. Ciana food wonderfully, I have already booked another boarding appointment with her. I highly recommend Ciana.”
“Cymantha is a love. She understands dogs and communicated throughout the entire process. She went above and beyond to make sure our fur baby was comfortable and happy. We have already booked her for another stay!”
“Carl is friendly and seemed to enjoy his time with my energetic Boston Terrier. She can be a handful and I was concerned but all my fears aside, Carl survived and Magnolia came home a happy girl! Thank you Carl for the photos and updates. It was a good feeling knowing my girl was well cared for while I was so far away! I would definitely recommend Carl!”
“Robin was fantastic! She was quick to respond to messages and flexible with our drop off and pickup times. Maple and her dog got along well and both were tired at the end of the afternoon. Boarding with Robin was an easy and great experience overall, we would love to return next time we're in Sonoma!”
“Our dog had a wonderful stay! Alexis took great care of him in her home, sent updates and photos, and it was clear he was comfortable and happy the whole time. We felt at ease knowing he was in such good hands. We will absolutely book with her again — thank you for taking such great care of Chauncey! :)”
“Susan stepped in when another sitter cancelled my stay. She was very accommodating, attentive and caring with my Cavalier King Charles. Great backyard for running around! Wonderful one on one care, thanks Susan.”
“Mackenzie took amazing care of Fritz! I had to find a very last minute overnight for him and really appreciated how quickly Mackenzie responded and how great she was with communication. You can tell she really loves animals and is very thoughtful and attentive to the pets and people lucky enough to be in her orbit.”
“Tiffany took the best care of our sweet little angel. He's still a puppy at almost five months so can be a handful but she handled him like a champ! She sent great pics and made sure he got out all of his puppy energy! I also think she maybe fell a little in love with our little guy. So that coupled with how happy and rested he came back to us gives us every confidence she will always care for our little monster. We will definitely use Tiffany every chance we get when we need someone to step in and love him the way we do!”
“Angela was so kind and caring with my pup, Bruno. He is a sensitive guy and she did a great job of putting him at ease. It was a special vacation for him as well since he got to lounge on the sofa and sleep in her bed - I was thrilled that she spoiled him with special treatment. He even got to make a new pupoy friend while staying with her.”
“Lauren and her husband were great! Bailey was a little shy at first, but she got more comfortable and had a blast! They were flexible, sent pictures and updates, and took great care of Bailey!”
About: I have been a dog lover all of my life and possess a special way of relating to dogs. For the last decade, I have been the neighborhood go-to for dog sitting and boarding, while also taking care of my own three dogs. With the large back yard, sunning deck, and kiddie pool, I ensure a fun and relaxing experience for your pups stay. I am skilled in grooming (basic grooming), dog massage, feeding, medication administration, communication (basic-training, recall, etc.), walks, dog park outings, etc. and most importantly, lots of lovin'! I am a musician, property manager, (former massage therapist) who works from home and keeps a daily schedule of caring (feedings, exercise/play/socializing/outings, naps, etc.) for my own and my clients dogs, while keeping up with my creative practices and administrative duties. Dog care is well-integrated into my daily life. After morning feedings, we usually load up into the car and head to the dog park for 1-1.5 hours. Once we return home, the pups generally take a nap for at least 1.5-2.5 hours (allowing me to get some work done and/or to run errands). Once awake, we typically do some playing in the yard and/or training (sometimes involving Charlies Chips Treat - no/low calorie treats). After about an hour or so of play, I shift to preparing dinner for myself and also the dogs, if there are special wet food protocol requests from the owners. After feedings, we spend another hour or so outside before quieting down for the night. I usually play some soft music to settle my own energies down and the dogs seems to really appreciate that too as they tend to fall asleep to it and sleep comfortably throughout the night. I also do a late night potty break at around 10pm, just to avoid accidents throughout the night. Safety is priority to me. My home is set up specifically for their safety and my own. Cleanliness is also an important part of safety and I tend to do that throughout the day (sweep/vacuum, spot-mop, wash bedding, etc.). I have a large fenced in back yard, kiddie pool, lots of toys, and sunning deck for the dogs. The second bedroom has a day bed that the dogs sleep on, as well as multiple dog beds and the couch, if they prefer. I have water bowls in multiple locations throughout the house and backyard. I utilize room dividers at feedings, if necessary, or if I sense a dogs need for space away from the pack.
“We cannot recommend Lori and Frank more highly. This was Daisy’s very first time with a pet sitter, and as a rescue pup she can be a bit nervous in new situations. From the moment we met them, Lori and Frank immediately made her feel comfortable—not just with them, but also with their wonderful adult children. They took exceptional care of Daisy and truly made her part of their family. Thanks to their calm, loving environment, Daisy even gained the confidence to make a new doggy friend with another pet guest during her stay, which meant so much to us. We loved receiving regular updates and photos, and it was clear every step of the way that Daisy was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Leaving your dog for the first time is never easy, but Lori and Frank made the entire experience completely stress-free. We are so grateful for the love and attention they gave Daisy and would trust them again without hesitation.”
“Ashish was great. Good communication and very accommodating. Our dog had fun with a few other dogs about his size. It was a good experience overall. Definitely would do a repeat.”
“Truly the best dog sitter we’ve ever had! Cookie (our corgi) stayed with Katherine for two days and one night during a heat wave, and somehow he still came home relaxed, happy, and totally himself. She made sure he got the exercise he needs—even in the heat—and it really showed. Katherine’s home is beautiful—so warm, clean, and inviting—and her garden is just as lovely. It’s clear she puts care into everything she does, and that includes how she takes care of the dogs she watches. When I picked Cookie up, he was calm and content, like he’d had his own little vacation. It’s not easy to wear out a corgi, but Katherine managed it with total thoughtfulness. It’s such a relief to know Cookie was in good hands, and it honestly made my time away so much easier. We’ll absolutely be reaching out to her again. So grateful!”
“We are SO grateful we found Luna! Our usual dog care fell through right before a long out-of-state trip, and we were genuinely considering postponing because our senior dog, Indi, has recently been diagnosed with IBD and needs a specialized diet, daily meds, and a calm, attentive environment. She can get stressed easily in new places, which has previously led to tummy issues and even skin flare-ups — so we were very nervous about leaving her with someone new. From the very first message, Luna was incredibly warm, proactive, and thoughtful. She even offered to set up a meet-and-greet right away before we could ask, which immediately put us at ease. Once we dropped Indi off, it was clear Luna treats animals like family. Her own dog, Jim, also has IBD, so she had first-hand experience and comfort caring for a pup with similar needs. Throughout the two weeks, Luna provided detailed updates every single day — including meals, meds, walks, and yes, digestion reports (very appreciated 😂). She took so many adorable photos and videos that we could see how happy and relaxed Indi was. Our dog walker also commented on how noticeably happier and healthier Indi seemed while staying at Luna’s — her stools even improved (a true win for IBD dog parents!). Communication was flawless, kind, and reassuring the whole time. We felt completely at ease, which is priceless. We would absolutely book with Luna again and recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a sitter who is caring, attentive, and truly exceptional. Indi came home happy, calm, and healthy — we couldn’t ask for more. 💛🐾”
“Wonderful sitter! Took great care of Scout and kept me updated with photos/videos. Scout went on fun hikes and looked so happy and well cared for the entire time. Highly recommend!”
“Kushram exceeded our expectations while boarding our three-year-old French Bulldog, Wizzy, over the holidays. We were understandably nervous about leaving Wizzy with an unfamiliar family for an extended 17-day stay, especially since it was her first time being boarded. Kushram immediately put us at ease by inviting us to a meet-and-greet before the boarding began. We had the pleasure of meeting his family, visiting their lovely home, and seeing the environment where Wizzy would be staying. This experience helped us build trust right from the start. Throughout our 17-day vacation, Kushram consistently sent videos and photos, along with thoughtful updates on Wizzy’s health and well-being. He was incredibly responsive via text and conversations, always replying within the hour. When we picked Wizzy up, all of her belongings were beautifully cleaned, organized, and packed—nothing missing, which we truly appreciated. Overall, the service was top-tier. We are deeply grateful to Kushram and his family for taking such great care of Wizzy, and we would absolutely work with him again.”

Prices are estimates per visit for 1 cat. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: I really do love every kind of cat! I've had cat companions my entire life, and I feel like sometimes they are so soft and so squishy I just can't even stand it. I wouldn't say my cats are trained exactly, but they do let me give them a bath. And most of the time when I call them they do come so I'm calling that a win. I can give the pills and such when that's required, and I'm happy to work with all cats young and old.
“Gabriel was wonderful with our 2 cats. Our cats opened up to him despite them not being big fans of strangers. He was on time for every visit and followed our instructions perfectly. Provided great daily updates. We would definitely reach out to him again the next time we need a sitter.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Shelly and would highly recommend her! She took excellent care of our pets and we were able to enjoy our vacation knowing they were cared for with love and attention.”
“Katie is a wonderful find. She came to our home first to meet the guy, see the house, put up with my stories of his fabulousness. Then her evening and morning 1-hour visits were 1) absolutely on time as agreed, 2) featured many photos of his various activities, 3) the completed checklist of meals, litter box, etc. and 4) great info on his behavior, especially since this was the first time she cat-sat. That he hissed at her on first visit, was chill and lovey on his second (sounds like him). Katie has made it her business to know as much as she can about cat behavior (she is a cat owner), such as why female cats may like their rumps rubbed while my male cat might not. She is also just a lovely, attentive, curious person. So glad she's in the neighborhood.”
“Karyna took great care of my cat Wilson. Last minute holiday plans came up and she went above and beyond to ensure Willie was comfortable. Thank you so much, I’m so appreciative.”
“This was the first time hiring a service to care for our cat. Ron was outstanding. He was able to adjust his schedule to accommodate caring for our cat “Kuma” while we are out of the country. His easy going and caring personality is very evident. We enjoyed his daily reports and photos and felt very at ease that he was caring for Kuma. We highly recommend him and the Rover service to care for your pet while you are away. Ron will be our first choice in caring for Kuma in the future. Thank you , thank you , thank you.”
About: I have decades of experience providing care for my own dogs (my wife and I have three sighthounds currently), and their health and happiness are always my top priority. I am available most days of the week at this time, including weekends. Currently, dog walking is my only gig, so I'm here to help as best I can! I'll provide your pet with exercise appropriate for their age and physical condition. We have a fully fenced yard and plenty of dog beds inside the house. Everyone is supervised and chaperoned when they are in our yard.
“Maicie has been incredible with our two pups. Both are medically complex, and she’s taken the time to allow them to get to know her on their own terms. She’s kind, responsive, punctual, and has been so helpful to us as we worried so much about leaving them all day while we are at work. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a kind hearted and patient dog sitter. Thank you, Maicie!”
“Looked after my 17 y/o kitty!! Very detailed and easy communication between us! She did a great job and I'm very relieved to have finally met someone in town that has that cat person kind of common sense.”
“Victoria did a marvelous job with our two kittens. We were away for 10 days. She made sure they were very well cared for, and had several play sessions with them every day. She took good care of our home, plants, and mail as well. She introduced the kitties (and us) to Cat TV on YouTube, which they love. We highly recommend Victoria!”

“Robin was very nice, from start to end. Found her walking her dog as I was arriving to drop off our dog. She was very caring and sent a few updates and pictures throughout the day. I was very comfortable leaving our dog with Robin for the day, we recommend!”
“I have never used Rover before and had a last-minute emergency for my shy little rescue, Maya. She was so happy when I picked her up! Sarah and Matt were kind, communicative, and made me feel like my beloved Maya was in the best of hands. Will definitely go back to this happy, dog-friendly home!”

“Mackenzie was super flexible, communicative and professional. My pup had a great time under her watchful eye. She followed all of my directions to a tee and then some. She went above and beyond to make sure my girl was happy as well as keep me updated on her stay. If you’re looking for someone seasoned to take care of your pets, Mackenzie is your gal!”
About: Spa Le Chien is specially tailored to your dog's needs while you are away from OR visiting California's Wine Country. I strive to make the experience unforgettable for your precious family member. I have been pampering pooches in my well-appointed modular house, located in a bucolic 55+ senior park in the charming village of Sonoma, for almost fifteen years. As a rule I only care for a single K9 at a time, so I can give it my full, undivided attention. There may occasionally be overlap between clients but rarely more than a single day or night. Safety is my first priority. Cleanliness, exercise, feeding and entertainment are our focus. I tend to work with small, older dogs and have helped elderly and infirm ones, too. But I am open to all types. I consult thoroughly with owners about their requirements before embarking on any regimen. I have never had a dissatisfied client...dogs love it here!
About: I’ve cared for pets and livestock my entire life, and animals have always been a huge part of my daily life. What sets me apart is that I live on spacious property, giving dogs plenty of room to explore, play, and enjoy a calm environment while they’re away from home. I treat every animal like my own and strive to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable during their stay. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because caring for animals has always been part of my lifestyle. Living on property means I’m consistently outside and active, so dogs get plenty of attention, exercise, potty breaks, and playtime throughout the day — not just scheduled walks. I’m used to maintaining routines for both pets and livestock, so feeding schedules, medications, supervision, and individual care needs are something I take seriously. I enjoy creating a calm, safe environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and low-stress environment where they can feel relaxed and part of the family. Because I live on property, dogs have space to play, explore, and get exercise throughout the day while still being closely supervised. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions from the owner. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to keep their pets comfortable by maintaining their usual routine and environment. I provide dependable care, attention, exercise, feeding, fresh water, cleanup, and lots of affection while also respecting the client’s home and instructions. I understand how important consistency is for animals, and I work to make their time away from their owners as stress-free as possible.
“Lauren has been great with Louie, who can be a bit challenging because he’s a big and rambunctious puppy. She’s been spending a lot of time with him at the dog park, and he comes home happy and tired. Louie now gets excited to see her. Definitely recommend.”
“Fatima has watched our shepherd mix Millie several times and has always taken really good care of her. She takes her on walks, and Millie loves playing with Harper. A worn out high energy dog is such a good thing for us. We will be using her as needed in the future, for sure.”
“Great spot for my pup to spend the day! Other doggoes to play with, pool time, nice cool home to relax in, and a professional dog trainer on hand! Jake was great and would definitely rebook!”
“Lauren & Kari were wonderful to work with and took amazing care of our Husky and our senior JRT during their daystay. We appreciated their flexibility and accommodation with our schedule, that they had playmates during their stay, and both our pups came back to us all tuckered out. We're super happy to have found a Rover we can trust whenever we are visiting Napa! Highly recommend, A+++ Thank you, Lauren & Kari!!”
“Katherine is such a sweet and loving person. She was very nice and caring to Mylo. Mylo warmed up to her easily. Would request her to take care Mylo if ever we come back to Napa. Thank you very much for today.”
“Zach was extremely accommodating, moving his schedule around to help take care of our puppy, Nix, on short notice. He and his dog, Rusty, were friendly and welcomed Nix to make her feel at home right away. Nix and Rusty were two peas in a pod and had a fun day together at the park. We would definitely entrust Zach with taking care of our dog any time!”
“Jeremy and Jordan have a great house to host dogs and an amazing yard. Their pets are happy characters and they have a great vibe going. We already booked our next stay. Thank you!”
About: Hi! My name is Stephanie and I am a Sonoman of 27 years. I grew up in the wine county and love that I get to call this my home. l am an animal lover full circle.

“Allyse is incredible! She takes amazing care of our Frenchie, Franklin, and we couldn't be happier. Frenchies can have their quirks and specific needs, but Allyse handles Franklin with so much love, patience, and attention to detail. She sends great updates, pictures, is super reliable, and it's incredibly clear how much she truly cares about dogs. Franklin absolutely adores her. If you want peace of mind knowing your pup is in the best hands, hire Allyse! Highly recommend.”
“This was our first time using Rover and Tiffany was great at making us feel at ease while we did some non dog friendly Napa activities during the day. We got photo and video updates every hour. Would definitely recommend!”

“I can only say great things about Gabriel! On pretty short notice, Gabriel was able to walk my 2 small dogs for 10 days. He clearly loves dogs & they loved him. He is very reliable & attentive to the dogs needs. I won’t hesitate to hire him again.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was born. We had a lab and a labradoodle, who sadly passed away a few months ago. Now that we have an empty house, I decided to use my experience to help dog parents in need. I have a lot of experience handling horses, so I can take good care of any size dog:) I am currently on summer break, so I have availability. I am a bunny parent and have taken care of her on my own for 5 years. We just lost our dog, but he was my furry best friend for 12 years and I took care of and walked him. I have a large area outdoors for my bunny to play in safely, and she is secured in a hutch inside the play area at night to ensure safely from predators. When it is too hot or too cold, she will come inside the house and be free roam. She is fed unlimited hay, a portion of high quality pellets and a variation of fruits and veggies as treats. She is very healthy and happy and living her best life. I prioritize the health and well being of all animals.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a little kid. I really enjoy being around and caring for dogs. Most of my experience has been caring for small dogs and those in the later years of their life. My calm demeanor works well with dogs who may be nervous around new people. Until recently, I also volunteered at an adoption center where I helped to care for dogs looking for a new home. I currently don’t work a conventional job due to personal limitations so my schedule allows for lots of flexibility. Taking care of your pet would bring lots of joy to my day. I am an attentive and affectionate pet care taker. I will respect your space and any parameters set around taking care of your furry family.
About: As a fur mom myself, I treat other pets as if they were my own. I have two dogs and a cat. Two of them are seniors and I've had them since they were young. I believe in training basic commands, positive enforcement, and lots of snuggles. When I'm not pet sitting, I'm hanging out with my pups outside while they get their zoomies out. I'm comfortable with excited pups, counter surfers, and shy pups. We all have our quirks! I take care of our 3 pets (2 dogs, 1 cats) and their care is my top priority on my day to day. Feeding, training, and getting the zoomies out. I like to keep the dogs routine as much as possible. Some dogs can get anxious when someone new is introduced and I find it's best to keep things as simple and normal as possible.
“Karyna was great!! Piper instantly fell in love with her. She was punctual, friendly and you could tell she loves animals. She sent photos and updated me throughout the day. I would definitely ask Karyna to walk Piper again. Thanks Karyna!!”
“I contacted Ronald last minute because I couldn't walk my dog, and even though we didn't have a chance to do a meet and greet, he was patient with my dog. We're excited about more walks with him in the future.”
“Cathleen handled my two labs with love and care. She exudes a very calm nature and my dogs in a first walk without me had a great time. Cathleen is kind, caring and is energetic and is great in handling big dogs. We can hardly wait for our next time with her!”

“Christiana was absolutely wonderful during her time with Dory. I booked her for a walk and got no less than three pictures and updates during and after the walk. I have never felt more comfortable with my dog in the care of another person. If I could give more than a five star rating, I would have. I cannot wait to use her spectacular services again!”
“Robin took such great care of Leo the few times I left him with her! She took him on walks and made sure he was well looked after with her family and their other furry friends and always sent pictures to keep me updated. Thank you Robin! Would definitely recommend your services and book again if needed in the area 🙏”

I’m especially good with pets who benefit from a calm, predictable environment. Clear communication and consistency are important to me so both pets and their owners feel comfortable and supported. My goal is always for you to return home to happy pets and a well-cared-for house. When house sitting, I spend a good portion of the day in your home so your pets receive companionship and stability throughout the day and evening. I specialize in steady, routine-based overnight care and do best with well-established household rhythms. For clients outside my immediate area, I begin with a video meet & greet so we can go over your pet’s routine and make sure it’s a great fit for everyone. I’m also happy to arrive a bit early on the first day to ensure a smooth, comfortable transition. If you’re looking for a reliable, thoughtful sitter who truly enjoys and understands animals, I would love to connect with you. I am currently working part time remotely and so I have plenty of time to play with your beloved pets. I'm around alot, especially for the first 3 days when they're usually missing their owners a great deal. It's helpful when the owner leaves instructions for what to do for the pets so that I am aware of their schedule because pets love to stick to routine.
About: I have decades of experience providing care for my own dogs (my wife and I have three sighthounds currently), and their health and happiness are always my top priority. I am available most days of the week at this time, including weekends. Currently, dog walking is my only gig, so I'm here to help as best I can! I'll provide your pet with exercise appropriate for their age and physical condition. We have a fully fenced yard and plenty of dog beds inside the house. Everyone is supervised and chaperoned when they are in our yard.
“Stephanie was amazing with our girl Islay. She was accommodating with helping Islay put on her little pads for being in heat. She also took pictures and sent us a nice message about how she was doing on the walk. Definitely will have her come again to walk our sweet girl.”
About: I have always loved having pets, and we always had an array of animals when I was growing up. I’ve helped raise a couple puppies from birth to adulthood. Helped care for litters of services puppies. I regularly watched and checked in on family and friend’s pets while they were out. I also believe that in order to have a happy, healthy dog they need to be cared for, loved on and exercised with regularly. I love seeing the joy that comes to a pup when they know they’re going to go on a walk or go to the park. I would love to be able to help care for your animals and not only make their lives more energetic during the day but make your life easier because you don’t have to worry about it!

Dependable and detail-focused, with a passion for creating a safe, structured environment while adapting care to each dog’s unique needs and personality. I work for a Veterinary Hospital and currently have no other extra curricular activities. As for home sitting, we can discuss my schedule and if open for pet to come to work with me if 24hr supervision is needed. I don’t currently own any pets, but I do live with three other fur buddies. I live with a blue heeler, chihuahua, and husky. I have experience with all types of breeds and energy levels prior to work experience in a dog daycare/boarding facility.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for slightly over decade now. I dont currently have any animals per my apartments requirements, so hoping to share some joyful times with your animals. COVID-19 SAFETY: I am fully vaccinated and will still wear a mask during meet and greets! If I am alone with the dog in the house then I will not be wearing a mask. I would normally be avaiable Friday-Monday as those are the days I dont have to commute out of town currently. If I can work you into other days of the week it would mostlikely be evenings. I can care for pets in a variety of ways, I can offer bathroom breaks, walks, check ins, feedings, scheduled play times, and lots and lots of love.

“Cymantha is a love. She understands dogs and communicated throughout the entire process. She went above and beyond to make sure our fur baby was comfortable and happy. We have already booked her for another stay!”
“Carl is friendly and seemed to enjoy his time with my energetic Boston Terrier. She can be a handful and I was concerned but all my fears aside, Carl survived and Magnolia came home a happy girl! Thank you Carl for the photos and updates. It was a good feeling knowing my girl was well cared for while I was so far away! I would definitely recommend Carl!”
“Robin was fantastic! She was quick to respond to messages and flexible with our drop off and pickup times. Maple and her dog got along well and both were tired at the end of the afternoon. Boarding with Robin was an easy and great experience overall, we would love to return next time we're in Sonoma!”
“Our dog had a wonderful stay! Alexis took great care of him in her home, sent updates and photos, and it was clear he was comfortable and happy the whole time. We felt at ease knowing he was in such good hands. We will absolutely book with her again — thank you for taking such great care of Chauncey! :)”
“Susan stepped in when another sitter cancelled my stay. She was very accommodating, attentive and caring with my Cavalier King Charles. Great backyard for running around! Wonderful one on one care, thanks Susan.”
“Mackenzie took amazing care of Fritz! I had to find a very last minute overnight for him and really appreciated how quickly Mackenzie responded and how great she was with communication. You can tell she really loves animals and is very thoughtful and attentive to the pets and people lucky enough to be in her orbit.”
“Tiffany took the best care of our sweet little angel. He's still a puppy at almost five months so can be a handful but she handled him like a champ! She sent great pics and made sure he got out all of his puppy energy! I also think she maybe fell a little in love with our little guy. So that coupled with how happy and rested he came back to us gives us every confidence she will always care for our little monster. We will definitely use Tiffany every chance we get when we need someone to step in and love him the way we do!”
“Angela was so kind and caring with my pup, Bruno. He is a sensitive guy and she did a great job of putting him at ease. It was a special vacation for him as well since he got to lounge on the sofa and sleep in her bed - I was thrilled that she spoiled him with special treatment. He even got to make a new pupoy friend while staying with her.”
“Lauren and her husband were great! Bailey was a little shy at first, but she got more comfortable and had a blast! They were flexible, sent pictures and updates, and took great care of Bailey!”
“Wonderful sitter! Took great care of Scout and kept me updated with photos/videos. Scout went on fun hikes and looked so happy and well cared for the entire time. Highly recommend!”
“Lillie was wonderful, and I would highly recommend her! It was our first time leaving Bear with her- she sent lots of photos and videos which gave us peace of mind. Bear has issues with anxiety but came home a very happy boy! Thank you Lillie!”
“Foxy was very happy to spend four nights with Tamara. She took care of our little dog exactly the way she likes to be taken care of. We will definitely use Tamara‘a services again.”
“Shayla, Jacob, and their twins were the perfect caregivers for our dogs, Gabbi and Poppins, while we were on vacation. From the moment we dropped them off, it was clear our pups were in loving, capable hands. Shayla and Jacob kept us updated with photos and messages throughout the week. Our dogs came back happy, healthy, and completely at ease, which speaks volumes about the care they received. We couldn’t have asked for a better family to look after our furry friends. Shayla and Jacob truly treated them as part of their own family. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet-sitting experience!”
“Christian, Deirdra and their 2 girls are absolutely wonderful. They were so good with my baby and always accommodating when possible for last minute boards. I love all the updates and pictures. Anytime I need and they have an opening this would be my goto dog sitter. You won't go wrong leaving your precious pups with the family as they will be well cared for and loved.”
“Ross was awesome! From our initial meeting, he asked all the right questions about the care and personality of my pup. During my pups stay, Ross was great about sending daily photos and updates on how my little guy was managing with my absence. I could see from the photos that my pup and Ross's pup were getting along really well... This left me feeling very comfortable that my pup was enjoying his 'vacation'. Thanks so much Ross! We look forward to Baxter staying with you again soon!”
“Greg was great. He was communicative before and after. He made sure Max was comfortable. He really cared and sent lots of pictures. I think Max had a great time! Greg has a fantastic place for pups. It’s very dog friendly and they have room to roam outside. I am definitely booking him again!”
“Allora was great! I only have positive things to say, Coco seemed so happy staying with her and her family. Allora sent me frequent updates and pictures which was great! I will definitely be boarding Coco with her again.”
“Mariaelena was amazing! She accepted our last-minute booking and took such great care of our dogs. She sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the day, and they looked so happy and relaxed the whole time. We could tell they were in great hands. I’d definitely book with her again!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities for 15 years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, play with, and care for their pets while away. I’m patient, attentive, active, and genuinely love animals. I understand the importance of making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I love taking dogs on hikes and to the beach as well. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week and on weekends. I enjoy staying active, spending time outdoors, and making sure pets get the care, attention, exercise, and companionship they need to feel happy and comfortable. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving, and attentive environment and always follow the owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding, routines, medications, walks, and special care needs. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior and body language to ensure they feel safe, secure, and well cared for at all times.
“Catherine is so great and sweet with my Lola (shiba inu). I feel very comfortable with having her watch Lola and her home is lovely. I’ve already booked another set of days with her to board my pup :)”
