“Rachael and her partner were nothing short of amazing with our dog Indy. Indy was instantly relaxed when he arrived for the night at Rachael’s, and had a lovely evening of cuddles and play with Rachael and her “crew”. Her dog and kitty were equally as welcoming to Indy! The picture updates were amazing and unexpected, and I could tell Indy was incredibly comfortable for his overnight stay. 10/10 recommend Rachael, and we will absolutely be booking with her again!”
“This was my second time booking with Bennett. The best review that I can give is not from me. It's from my girl. When I pulled up to drop her off - she recognized where she was and was happy about it. It's hard to leave her, but her reaction made it easier.”
“Renee and Christopher were fantastic sitters!! Lenny had access to a backyard and so much attention. I got regular updates and photos and felt so much peace of mind.”
“Lida was a fantastic caregiver for my one-year-old. She took exceptional care of her, making sure she got plenty of walks, playtime, attention, and affection. She kept me updated every day with photos and messages, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I never once worried about my dog in her care, and I would absolutely use her services again if I’m ever back in the area. I can’t recommend her highly enough.”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. They’ve always been at the center of my heart and home. My last two, Pinky and Kika, lived long, happy lives (16 and 18 years), and caring for them taught me patience, attentiveness, and a deep appreciation for every stage of a dog’s life. I offer a calm, loving environment where dogs feel safe and truly cared for, always paying close attention to their routine, comfort, and emotional needs. Whether a dog is playful, shy, or a senior who needs extra gentleness, I treat each one as if they were my own. My husband and I work together to provide a loving and attentive environment for every dog in our care. We focus on helping each dog feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family. Dogs receive plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. Our home is thoughtfully set up for dogs, with a secure and comfortable backyard that’s easy to navigate. We also live just a short walk from a beautiful creek and nearby nature areas, perfect for calm, enriching walks.
“Best sitter ever! Stephen did everything to make sure that Pearl was comfortable while I was away. Some highlights: Someone is always home They take the dogs on long walks and have lots of playtime Huge toy bucket for the dogs to play with They have two very well behaved dogs to give even more company/distraction Sent tons of photos and videos They are truly dog people. I will definitely be booking again! Highly highly highly recommended!”
“Had a great experience with yu-Liang and yi-ting dog sitting our pet Bella. They were very responsive and sent lots of photos. Would definitely have them dog sit again in the future. Recommend!”
“I recently had Allison and Gordon watch my diabetic dog, and the experience was fantastic from start to finish. They were reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about my dog’s well-being. My primary concern is to find someone who could take care of my dog, who vomits from time to time due to the antibiotics he’s taking, and someone who could help administer daily insulin injections. Allison and Gordon had no problems giving my dog timely injections, and to my surprise, I was told my dog didn’t vomit at all throughout his stay with them! I received regular updates, photos, and messages throughout the stay, which gave me a complete peace of mind. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. I will definitely be booking with them again and highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter.”
“Katie and Jason are super star dog sitters! My senior dog, Abby, was very comfortable with them. I loved getting all the updates. Katie was really responsive on text and kept to Abby’s schedule and routines. I am so thankful we found them!”
“Luke was so great with Garbanzo! He has two other pups Roo and Pickles who get along well with other dogs. He sent me lots of photos of the dogs tired after long days of fun at the dog park.”
“Marie was amazing with Kilo! She sent frequent photo updates and made me feel totally at ease while I was away. It was clear she truly cared for him, and Kilo absolutely loved her. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend!”
“Mimi and Wilson were great caretakers of my dog Nala (60 lb german shepherd mix) during an 11 night stay over the holidays. Nala is very hesitant in new spaces and Mimi and Wilson were super accommodating - moving all her things to the room she was most comfortable in and hanging out in there with her as well. I received daily pupdates and pictures and was at ease knowing she was enjoying her stay. Thanks Mimi and Wilson!”
“Ellen was great. She took such great care of Brinkley. We were nervous to leave him as he was not in the best of health and it was the first time leaving him with Ellen. But she sent us updates and photos so we were relieved to know he was in good hands. And he was happy and well taken care of when we returned a week later. Would definitely recommend Ellen.”
“My dog stayed with Kitty for 10 days, and I am ecstatic! Kitty and her family provide a warm, caring, and loving home for dogs. I will definitely be scheduling time with them again!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Penny received. Cynthia sent frequent updates and a ton of pictures, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Penny looked happy and enjoyed her time with Cynthia and her family. I highly recommend Cynthia and will book again.”
“I am so pleased with the care given to our baby. She was so spoiled being with Tara. We worried leaving her but she looked way more relaxed than leaving her in the pet hotel we usually send her to. She had Tara’s full attention and used that to her advantage to get treats and pets. We could use more pictures and updates but that’s because we are obsessed with our girl.”
“Michael was fantastic! This was the first time I had left Bojangles for more than an overnight and I had no cause to worry. His communication was constant, and when I picked up Bojangles, it was obvious he had been well cared for. Will definitely be using Michael again.”
“Wonderful people! Super detail oriented on how to care for my fur baby Pico! They kept us updated everyday on how he was doing and I completely trust them. We will be in touch again for when we need a dog sitter again!”

“Lehna was a fantastic cat sitter, my cats loved her and she took great care of them. They warmed up to her immediately and she was extremely thorough and communicative throughout the entire week. Thanks again, Lehna!”
“Zoeyanne did a fantastic job for us! She responded to our initial request for a booking quickly. She followed up. She was punctual. She gave thorough reports about how the visits were going. She provided lots of great pictures and did a lot to make sure that I did not have to worry about my cat while I was on vacation for two weeks. I recommend this person without reservation. You cannot miss by deciding to work with her.”
About: I’ve been around cats my whole life and understand that each one has their own personality, boundaries, and pace. Some cats want attention right away, some need time to observe from a distance, and some only warm up once they realize they are not being rushed. I’m comfortable caring for playful cats, shy cats, older cats, and cats who need a calmer approach. I can help with feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, companionship, and check-ins while keeping their routine as familiar as possible. My goal is to earn their trust, keep them comfortable, and make sure they feel cared for while you’re away.
“Alyssa watched my cat while I was gone for the weekend. She did a great job, was always on time and administered the medication that he needs while I was away. He was a happy boy when I got home and it seems like they had a good time together. I’ll be booking her again in the future.”
“Vicky did an amazing job with my cat Juno. She walked, fed, and played with her. I was impressed with how quickly she responded to messages and how reliable she was. The daily pictures made me feel confident that my cat was in good hands. I will be booking Vicky in the future!”
“Nikka was a pleasure to work with! She is very flexible and super accommodating. We appreciated the photos she sent us while we were away. We look forward to working with you again in the future!”
“Stephanie was amazing. This was my first time using Rover and she made me feel very at ease with everything. She came over for a meet and greet to see the cats and to see our place to show her where everything was and she made that very easy to schedule too. She left great notes and pictures! I highly recommend. I will be using her services again!”
About: Your cat’s comfort is my priority. I offer reliable, detail-oriented care that keeps your kitty feeling safe while you’re away. I’m especially patient with shy or anxious cats and always move at their pace. From maintaining a clean space to providing enrichment and gentle interaction, I make sure every visit is stress-free. You’ll receive consistent updates and cute photos every time ✨
“Stephen and Erica watched our cat during the Christmas holidays (and agreed to do so on relatively short notice!) and we came home to a happy cat who had received some new toys for Christmas. It was great getting to see pictures of her while we were away and know that there was someone around to make sure that she was eating and getting some attention. Would definitely boom with Stephen and Erica again!”
“This was our first pet-sitting experience with Esmeralda, and she handled it beautifully. Because she was new to the house and our 3 cats, we had her stay full-time during our 6 day holiday. She took excellent care of our pets and our home!”

“Winnie and Boba are THE BEST!!! 🏆 Winnie accommodated a last-minute request over Thanksgiving weekend so my husband and I could take a day trip. She even offered a meet-and-greet video call beforehand, which really put my mind at ease since it was our second time using Rover for dog sitting. 🙏 Throughout our communications, Winnie was friendly, responsive, and incredibly helpful. My doggo had a blast playing with Boba, and she sent us plenty of photos and videos showing how much fun they were having together. 🦮🐕🦺 When we picked him up, my dog was clearly sad to leave - always a good sign! 🥹🥲😭🫶 We're already looking forward to our next booking. Highly recommend Winnie and Boba, especially if you have a smaller breed that likes to run and play. ✨”
“Cynthia and her family were the best. Very accommodating and easy to communicate with. She sent us multiple pictures and videos throughout the day which made me feel at ease. I was so happy to see that Amaru had fun and enjoyed his stay. Will definitely book with Cynthia again and am so happy to find a new dog sitter for Amaru close to home. Thank you so much for everything!!”
“Anna was amazing! Her communication was very quick and clear. She sent me tons of pictures throughout the day and made me feel very comfortable. Leaving my two-year-old dog with her for the day. She was super flexible and pick up and drop off time and Rilee just put all of my pet sitting anxiety at ease. I will definitely be using her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of domestic animals since I was very young. Animals have always been part of my life, and I truly enjoy caring for them, pets are part of our daily routine. My daily routine already includes caring for dogs. I run a small mobile dog grooming business, so I am used to being around pets every day. I’m also used to taking care of animals since I was young, so feeding, walking, playing, and giving attention to pets fits very naturally into my routine. I live in an apartment, but my complex has a dog park and very dog-friendly spaces. Pets will always receive attention, supervision, and a calm environment. I make sure they are safe, comfortable, and follow the routine provided by the owner, including feeding, walks, playtime, and rest.
“It was my first time using Howard & Linda for day care, and it was an excellent experience. Howard and their dog Truman met us for the meet and greet before the scheduled stay, and the dogs got along, as Truman is very easy going. My dog is not friendly with large dogs and requires a special diet, as well as, a regular feeding and walking schedule. Howard accommodated all of my dog’s needs during his stays. Howard & Linda are very friendly and personable people, and I highly recommend them!”
“Kitty was phenomenal! She was recommenced by friends. My dog came back happy and tired! Also I was late to pick up, but Kitty was gracious. I would definitely go back to her!!”
“We used Leticia for daycare for our dog. Leticia asked for our dog's vaccination records and when we arrived, illustrated she had knowledge of dog behavior and social dynamics. She had a well-structured yard setup that allowed for safe, controlled introductions between dogs as well as safe entry and exit of the yard with a double gate system. She was a great listener, observer, had excellent communication, and is punctual.”
“Tony and Alicia are very responsive. They answered my questions really quickly and sent pictures throughout the day. Snowy is shy with strangers. So it was really great to see her relax at their place.”
“Genuine people in this world are truly rare treasure! We rescued Rocco from the SPCA and quickly realized he could not be left at home alone while we went to work. I found out about this app a few days later and downloaded it. We were SO nervous leaving Rocco with new people after we just got him, but at the meet and greet Rocco warmed up to Gordon and Allison quickly. My partner are I felt so reassured that Rocco would be safe and cared about. Gordon and Allison are truly the most kind human beings my partner and I have met in a really long time. We were so grateful to find them. They will absolutely take the care of your dog. They took the BEST pictures of Rocco during the day too! My work schedule changed and we no longer need their services. Give them a try, we absolutely loved them and you and your pup will too! 🐾❤️”
About: Having raised my own puppy and dogsat for friends with anxious pups, I'm well versed in how to provide for a pup's full time needs. I can also provide puppy training in house manners (for example: waiting patiently to be fed, waiting at doors, simple commands). My care and attention to my own puppy, Chef, is full time and I am super excited to share that with your pup. We can go on excursions or hang around the house or play fetch at the dogpark. Whatever your pup is up for. I have a fenced yard and a friendly pup for your pup(s) to play with! And if your pup doesn't want company for whatever reason, I have gates and crates to make sure they are safe and happy in their own space. Feel free to request photos/videos and check in anytime for updates.
About: Hi! I’m Rene — a part-time Nursing Assistant and part-time pet sitter with 10+ years of experience, and I’m almost always accompanied by my 28-lb dachshund mix, Eli, who loves helping me entertain other pups. We make a great duo for pets who enjoy company, playtime, or just having a buddy around. I’ve cared for puppies, seniors, shy pets, energetic breeds, and animals with special routines or medications. My nursing background makes me calm, attentive, and great at keeping pets on schedule and comfortable. I’ve worked with dogs, cats, small animals, and even some farm animals over the years. No matter the pet, I focus on helping them feel safe, loved, and understood. What sets me apart is my patience, communication, and the added comfort of having a friendly dog companion for pets who enjoy social time. Eli and I keep a calm cozy home environment, but we love to be active & go to nearby beaches, trails and parks in Pacifica. We treat every pet like part of our little pack! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine since I work part-time as a Nursing Assistant and have a very flexible schedule. I’m home often, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, walks, structured playtime, and consistent routines. I plan my shifts and errands around the pets I’m caring for so they always get reliable care without long gaps. As a part-time in-home Nursing Assistant, my schedule is very flexible- I’m home most days and build my schedule around Eli’s needs, so any pet staying with us fits right into that rhythm — lots of attention, play, and a predictable, loving routine!
“Carina gave Rango so many wonderful experiences. We loved that she took him out on many adventures and sharing adorable pictures. Her dog Charlie is a sweetheart and played well with Rango. I highly recommend Carina”
About: With an early start into the industry, I have specialized experience in training, diet, and grooming cats & dogs! I also have in depth, hands on experience with medication administration of pills, capsules, liquids and shots. Building trust is another skill I pride myself on-- I am patient and make steps based on your pets comfortability. I have a deep love and respect for all different kinds of animals and would love to spend more time with them. I am home a lot, but specifically, I'm most available on weekends and evenings! I wake up early for the first walk of the day followed by breakfast. I get home on weekdays around 1. My schedule will alter in January. Here, I have no carpet & a fenced side-yard! I have plenty of toys of all sizes and durability for cats & dogs, a filtered running water fountain, and a 6 foot tall, multilevel cat tree. I prioritize your pets comfort and establish a trusting relationship between them, myself, and the cats in my home. I love taking photos, and I also have a Furbo in the home, which I can send fun clips from your pet's stay!
“Marie was so great with Winston! I could tell he immediately felt comfortable and safe with her! She also sent many updates so I knew how he was doing. I definitely will bring him back, thank you again Marie!”
About: Hi. I have cared for dogs my whole life. I think dogs are truly mans best friend. I will treat your dog like they are my own dog. I have had dogs my whole life. Come to think of it I have never lived a day in my life without a dog. My family is a true dog family. My 9 year old daughter is a true animal lover and loves interacting with dogs. Our 5 year old loves having pups around. I have trained all my dogs using positive reinforcement and I feel that dogs respond the best to that. We always have a dog door open to our backyard so our dogs always have access to our grassy fenced in yard. I will ensure your dog is well cared for and safe during there stay with my family. My wife and I are a team when we care for dogs. We make sure somone is home to care for your dog around the clock and give them the attention they deserve. We have a grassed fenced in yard and we always check to make sure our yard is secure. We provide pet crates so no need to pack yours.
“Katharine was a last minute lifesaver on our vacation! We had plans to go horseback riding & leave our boy at the hotel but the night before, he was barking & whining when we’d leave him just to go to the lobby. First time Rover users, we found Katharine & instantly heard back from her. Any helicopter mom anxiety I had dissipated the moment Katharine came out to meet us at the car. Katharine has an amazing, warm energy that let me know our son & his anxiety would be well taken care of & managed. I didn’t feel like I had to worry about him the whole time we were gone - what an unexpected relief! Thank you so much for being there at a moment’s notice. You & the feeling of security you left us with ended up being the best part of our trip! Highly recommend!”

“Lehna has been a great resource for the care of my two staffies. I have booked her several times already for walks and drop ins. She responds very quickly to requests, has strong communication skills and she updates me with details about how my dogs behaved with her. She has been professional and responsible and I can easily recommend her.”
About: I’ve been around cats and dogs my whole life, and I’m comfortable caring for animals of different breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. I grew up with cats and was lucky enough to have a litter born in my room, so I’ve been around them from the very beginning. I also grew up with dogs of all sizes and personalities, from playful high-energy dogs to older dogs who need a gentler pace and a little more support. I’m especially patient with animals that are shy, skittish, cautious, or slow to warm up. I know not every cat or dog wants to be approached the same way, and I try to meet them on their terms, earn their trust, and make the interaction feel safe and positive. Whether that means a walk, playtime, quiet companionship, or giving them space, I want your pet to feel comfortable with me. When I take care of an animal, I treat them like they’re my own. I’m attentive with feeding, water, litter boxes, walks, routines, house instructions, and updates. My goal is simple: for you to feel confident while you’re away, and for your pet to get care, attention, and comfort from our time together. I currently have flexible availability and can work with different pet-care needs, including walks, drop-in visits, cat care, and in-home pet sitting. I’m available for weekdays, weekends, and overnights depending on the request, and I’m happy to discuss your pet’s normal routine so I can keep things as consistent as possible while you’re away. I do not offer boarding in my home at this time. For walks, drop-ins, and house sitting, I care for pets in their own home and follow the owner’s instructions closely. I pay attention to feeding routines, fresh water, litter boxes, doors, locks, leash safety, and keeping pets secure and comfortable. I’ll also provide updates so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.
“Zoeyanne had great rapport with both of my dogs (who have very different personalities and lots of quirks). She was also very patient and helpful with some problems I had booking the appointment.”
About: I love helping families with dogs get their dog the exercise and attention they need to stay happy and healthy. I always treat dogs like they're my own, I love animals of all kinds and can handle all ages and a wide range of personality types. I'm patient with dogs who pull the leash or go slow and do a lot of sniffing. I work part time so I have a fairly flexible schedule from 10am-3pm on Mo-Fr. I am happy to walk outside no matter the weather. I have a new EV to pick your dog up in and take them to a trail head. I always make sure their collar, leash, and/or harness is secured. I am good at following instructions and am accepting of advice you have about taking care of your dog.

“Craig was fantastic! He met our pup Hutch ahead of our scheduled walks and tailored to them to Hutch’s activity level with some great hikes on Montara mountain. Craig is super easy going and responsive. We hope Hutch gets the opportunity to walk with Craig again soon!”
About: I have several years of experience caring for pets for close friends and family, including dog boarding, dog walking, and house sitting. Through these experiences, I’ve learned how important it is to provide pets with consistent care, attention, and companionship while their owners are away. I’m comfortable with different routines and personalities, and I always strive to make pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for in my care. I am currently home from college and am open to working full time to play and hang out with your pups. I am available everyday after 11:00am. For boarding I am also available weekdays and weekends :) I have a fenced backyard with lots of space to roam around and play. My home is close to many parks and trails meaning lots of time for fetch and walks!
“Alyssa was on time and very communicative. my two pups were very happy when I got home. She walked for an hour and brought them back safely. I will definitely be using her services again.”
“Stephen is an excellent walker and lover of dogs. He and his wife jumped in and helped me take care of my pup when I had to go out of town suddenly for work. They walked her 4 times and took great care of her. And helped calm my own guilt and nerves for leaving her. Would highly recommend! Especially if you’re in Paciifca.”

About: I have a big house with many comfortable spots to choose from. There is plenty of yard for your curiosity and a warm deck to soak up some sunshine. The house is pet friendly and clean. You have my undivided attention and I can take you with me most of the time. I love your company and miss you when you go home. Discount for multi-dog families and extended stays. I work part time so I have plenty of time to spend with your pet. There is someone home almost all of the time, the exception being a couple of hours in the early afternoon. I have a huge picture window facing a mountainside that sports many animals that entertain us. I have a high fence and secure gate. Not many visitors or much foot traffic. Quiet and safe.
About: I have been an avid animal lover since I was a child. I would collect frogs, salamanders, and snakes then bring them home to show [scare] my family then safely return them to their homes. Beginning from the age of 6 or 7 I began riding horses. I was devoted to horseback riding for years which taught me a number of valuable skills on how to care for animals. In addition, to having multiple family pets including a rat and dogs', I had my own dog [Nala]. I loved, cared for, and nursed Nala through kidney disease which required administering scheduled medications and subcutaneous fluids. After recently loosing Nala, while I am not yet ready to get another pet, I would love to look after yours! Thank you for considering me to take care of your family member. I recently graduated with my master's in healthcare administration. I've been on a job hunt for a couple of months, and I have plenty of spare time. I decided to join Rover to take advantage of my love for animals and my free time by pet sitting! I have a flexible schedule with a minimal advanced notice. I have an enclosed yard and one 7-year-old friendly female husky who lives here. Depending on your pet's personality, preferences, and stay details your family member can stay here, or I will stay with them in your home.
About: I have had dogs my whole life and have taken care of many friend's and neighbor's dogs. I just finished playing Division 1 soccer and have tons of energy! Would love to run/walk/train some dogs with lots of energy. I also enjoy showing the older, more chill doggos some love. I am currently looking for jobs so I have a pretty open schedule. I recently graduated and from UC Davis and would love some time with furry friends. I take my dogs on 2 walks per day and let them out a few times in between to potty. I can walk/feed/train/and show some extra love to your pup if you need some extra help!
About: Reliable, communicative, and genuinely passionate about animals. I treat every pet like my own and focus on making them feel safe and comfortable. I have a six year old labradoodle currently and have taken full time care of an elderly black lab rescue in the past. I currently have no scheduling conflicts as I am home for the summer from college! Very open schedule so don’t hesitate to reach out with any requests! I always prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their normal routine. In a client’s home, I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection while keeping the space clean and tidy. I’m very attentive to feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific instructions. As well, I like to keep owners updated with messages and photos!
About: Hi, my name is Jessica! I have experience with many breeds of dogs through my work in rescue and previous experience with walking and boarding dogs. I’ve worked with stronger breeds like shepherds, pitbulls/bully breeds, doberman, as well as herding breeds. I have a dog of my own that’s social with other dogs and assisted with teaching rambunctious puppies doggy manners as well as confidence building in shy dogs. My previous experience includes working with dogs with separation anxiety, leash reactivity, and dog selectivity/dog aggression. I live in a home with no breed restrictions. I can administer medication if the dog in my care requires it. I will continue training of the pets in my care according to what is practiced in the dogs home regularly.
About: I've had dogs my whole life ranging from a 105 pound Lab to a 9 pound Chihuahua. Family friends and acquaintances have relied on me time and time again to house sit and watch their dogs/cats. As a college student, I like to keep a structured schedule, making it easy to incorporate your pet's care into my daily routine. I have set blocks of time in the mornings, between classes, and in the evenings that I dedicate to feeding, walks, and check-ins. On weekends and lighter class days, I’m able to spend extra time on longer walks, playtime, or sitting stays. I stay organized and plan ahead, so pets always get consistent attention, exercise, and care. I prefer caring for pets in their own home because it keeps them comfortable, relaxed, and in a familiar routine. When I’m in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely—feeding according to their schedule, refreshing water, providing potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special care they need.
“Esmeralda is wonderful with our golden retriever! She is calm, attentive, and engaging, gets in sync with his personality, and lets him enjoy being outside for an adventure, read the daily doggie news or just hang out listening to music. She is a professional when it comes to her canine care so we are confident when we leave our pup with her. Thank you Esmi!! 😁”
“We've used Zheng many times for both boarding and dog walking, and every experience has been fantastic. Our two dogs absolutely light up with excitement when they’re dropped off! Zheng is incredibly reliable, caring, and attentive with our pups. Also great at communicating—we always receive plenty of updates and adorable photos of our dogs having a wonderful time. Highly recommend!”

About: Hello! I am currently looking to fill my summer break schedule as a teacher and help care for your dogs and cats. I have had experience with dogs since I was super young. I currently have a year old old German shepherd border Collie mix. I can work everyday during my winter break from work and then I can work only on weekends after that. Due to working full time for the school district I care for anyones dog as if the animal Was my own. I would want someone to care for my dog the same way I care for yours. With a ton of love and safety.

“Rachael and her partner were nothing short of amazing with our dog Indy. Indy was instantly relaxed when he arrived for the night at Rachael’s, and had a lovely evening of cuddles and play with Rachael and her “crew”. Her dog and kitty were equally as welcoming to Indy! The picture updates were amazing and unexpected, and I could tell Indy was incredibly comfortable for his overnight stay. 10/10 recommend Rachael, and we will absolutely be booking with her again!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. They’ve always been at the center of my heart and home. My last two, Pinky and Kika, lived long, happy lives (16 and 18 years), and caring for them taught me patience, attentiveness, and a deep appreciation for every stage of a dog’s life. I offer a calm, loving environment where dogs feel safe and truly cared for, always paying close attention to their routine, comfort, and emotional needs. Whether a dog is playful, shy, or a senior who needs extra gentleness, I treat each one as if they were my own. My husband and I work together to provide a loving and attentive environment for every dog in our care. We focus on helping each dog feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family. Dogs receive plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. Our home is thoughtfully set up for dogs, with a secure and comfortable backyard that’s easy to navigate. We also live just a short walk from a beautiful creek and nearby nature areas, perfect for calm, enriching walks.

I will definitely be booking again! Highly highly highly recommended!”
“Katie and Jason are super star dog sitters! My senior dog, Abby, was very comfortable with them. I loved getting all the updates. Katie was really responsive on text and kept to Abby’s schedule and routines. I am so thankful we found them!”
“Luke was so great with Garbanzo! He has two other pups Roo and Pickles who get along well with other dogs. He sent me lots of photos of the dogs tired after long days of fun at the dog park.”
“Mimi and Wilson were great caretakers of my dog Nala (60 lb german shepherd mix) during an 11 night stay over the holidays. Nala is very hesitant in new spaces and Mimi and Wilson were super accommodating - moving all her things to the room she was most comfortable in and hanging out in there with her as well. I received daily pupdates and pictures and was at ease knowing she was enjoying her stay. Thanks Mimi and Wilson!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Penny received. Cynthia sent frequent updates and a ton of pictures, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Penny looked happy and enjoyed her time with Cynthia and her family. I highly recommend Cynthia and will book again.”
“I am so pleased with the care given to our baby. She was so spoiled being with Tara. We worried leaving her but she looked way more relaxed than leaving her in the pet hotel we usually send her to. She had Tara’s full attention and used that to her advantage to get treats and pets. We could use more pictures and updates but that’s because we are obsessed with our girl.”
“I think Ellie found a new friend. I was afraid at first that she might not handle Ellies excitement but to my surprise she did it very well. I can Ellie is relaxed with the pictures shes sending me. Ellie even got a christmas present! thanks Sin! so far the best we got! Will definitely be back! Thanks Sin!”
“Christine was fantastic with “Bo.” She kept us updated throughout the evening with pictures and stories while we were gone. Bo was very comfortable with Christine. She was genuinely sweet with him and made him feel comfortable right away. We highly recommend Christine to anyone who needs a caring person to take care of their four legged family members.”
“Leticia was fantastic for our large dog, Ramsay! She sent so many photos and updates that made us appreciate the care she was giving him and truly trust that he was in great hands.”
“Lily was super great! Great communication and she updated with photos of Yuki during the entire stay, showcasing him chilling, him on walks, potty breaks, etc. She was super friendly off the bat and I highly recommend her and will use her services again in the future!”
“Maria was great. Really kind, caring, communicative, and she did great with my dog who is sometimes difficult. Thank you Maria, I will definitely contact you again for dog-sitting in the future.”

“I am very grateful to Kyaw for the excellent care provided to our Walter. Kyaw was incredibly responsive, kind, and thoughtful throughout the entire stay. I especially appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our pet was well cared for and in good hands. Thank you again for your professionalism and compassion!”
“Megan is awesome. She has a fantastic place with a nice backyard I’m sure Max enjoyed. Max was recovering from an injury and Megan took great care, keeping that cone of shame firmly in place. We will definitely leave Max with Megan again!”
“Not enough words to thank Wei for taking such good care of our puppy Shih Tzu. Traveling for 4 days, we were so much missing him then Wei minimized that sending often updates pics and videos of Cody. Thank you!!”
