“I had such a great experience boarding my dog, Skye, over Thanksgiving week. From start to finish, the care was outstanding. Skye immediately felt comfortable, and I could tell he was in good hands the entire time. I received regular updates, including photos and messages, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. The environment was clean, safe, and welcoming, and it was clear that Skye was treated like part of the family. He came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. I highly recommend Astrid to anyone looking for reliable, caring, and attentive dog boarding. I’ll definitely book again in the future!”
“Arryonna was absolutely amazing!! She took great care of our wild puppy for a whole weekend. She updated me daily with pics & videos. We met ahead of time to be sure everything felt comfortable when introducing our pup to her own animals. I can’t say enough good things about our experience”
“Our Miss Lexie had a wonderful stay. Chawntea treated our baby girl like family. She made new furry friends, which helps her socialization skills. Chawntea was so flexible with our ever-changing travel plans. Shout out to Southwest. She sent updates and pics while we were away, which brought smiles to our faces. Without a doubt, we will be using her services in the future.”
“Megan and Jenny were amazing! They watched our dog, Beni, while we were out of the country for over two weeks for vacation and sent us daily, adorable, photo updates of him relaxing and playing with the other dogs that overlapped with his stay. He came back happy and healthy and seemed to have the best time. We were joking that he got to go on a vacation too! Will definitely book them to watch Beni again.”
“Our pup Lenny had a fantastic time staying with Chad for a weekend! Chad was flexible and easy to communicate with, and he sent updates and photos. Chad’s house always seems to have a few dogs staying there, which was perfect for Lenny as he is very social. He really seemed to enjoy his stay, we have already booked another boarding with Chad in a couple months!”
“Kendal was so great with Raven and very easy to work with. She got Raven to relax and cuddle by day 2 of knowing her which is a huge deal for our anxious little rescue baby!”
“Alex did a great job looking after our dog for 3 weeks. We received regular updates and pictures throughout the trip which made us feel at ease She is quick with communications when coordinating pickup/dropoff. Overall we had a great experience and would book with Alex again!”
“Ying is a wonderful dog sitter. She took care of our 75lbs Shepard mix and sent us fun photos and generally cared about his well being. We hope she’s available the next time we need a sitter!”
“I’m so glad to have found Hy and Arlo! My dog Neko can be shy with new people and reactive toward other dogs, so I was nervous about leaving her with a dog sitter. Hy met with us in advance and was extremely patient and understanding of Neko’s issues. She understood the need to keep Neko away from other dogs and was so gentle and sweet with her. She was great at communicating and sent plenty of pictures and updates during Neko’s stay. I’m planning to leave Neko with them again this summer and know she will be in good hands!”
“I received a lot of communication, videos and pictures from Jonathan. It was clear that our Minnie was being taken good care of and having a good time. This made us feel so happy that we can go out of town and leave her in good hands!”
“Cindy was great with Mika. She had plenty of walks and outside time and took good care of Mika. I appreciated her communication and her respect for the feeding rules we have for Mika too!”
“Lacey was fantastic with my very big & cuddly dog, who also has severe separation anxiety. He was clearly in good hands! Though it was only for one overnight we will definitely be working with Lacey & her family again!!”
About: I have 21 years of hands-on experience raising my own loving pitbulls, singing with a pack of opinionated huskies, and working with fosters. Whether it’s walks, pets and a calming presence, or special attention to medications (eye and oral) for specific needs, I aim to make each outing a tail-wagging success! I am currently pursuing a second bachelor’s degree in nursing. My lectures are remote, and my in-person commitment is minimal, leaving me plenty of availability and flexibility to make sure that your family members are taken care of to the best of my ability! Afternoons after 12pm - 9pm are ideal but your dog is the priority and I can accommodate most needs. Coming from a background in emergency medicine, I know that trust and safety are two of the highest priorities for caretakers of any kind. I emphasize that I am a guest into homes, and that the well-being of furry family members is the highest priority. Even the most unique needs should be met!
“Kennia watched my sweet Moose for the first time this weekend. She asked questions if unsure about how I would do something (like can he be off leash, etc.) which I appreciated so much! She also sent pictures of Moose to help comfort me while away from him. I’ll absolutely use Kennia again :)”
“Lee was SO sweet and took great care of my dog for a couple of days. She sent regular pupdates and was really responsive. I was nervous because my dog doesn’t spend much time with other dogs at all and Lee was willing to do a meet and greet and we let the dogs meet and get acclimated to the space a few days before her actual stay. Can’t say thank you enough and would definitely rebook in the future!”
“Andrea is wonderful! She’s so kind and caring with my little dog. He wasn’t feeling 100% when I dropped him off. She took extra good care of him, made sure he got plenty of rest, and sent me lots of updates and photos. Excellent experience and I will definitely call on her again. Thanks!!!”
“This was our 4th booking with Anthony and Nikita. We know that our dog will get loving, careful care, and there will be daily updates and photos. It's a weight off our minds to know he's in good hands.”
“I could not be more pleased and appreciative of how well Kristen and Ryan took care of my Solo. This is the longest I have been out of town in a while and I wanted Solo to be in a comfortable and secure place and with people that will look after her as if she was their own. Kristen and Ryan did that for sure. They kept me well informed of how Solo was doing and it really looked like Solo enjoyed her time with them. I highly recommend Kristen and Ryan and will defiantly book any future pet sitting I need with them.”

“Luella took really good care of my two cats. Her visit notes were very detailed. She took extra care to look for the cats to make sure they were okay. She also went the extra step to clean up their messes. Her communication is excellent and I could tell she has a lot of love and affection for animals. I would book her again.”
“Tinwan and JieYing took thoughtful, amazing care of my cat. They were very conscientious and followed my instructions exactly. PLUS they sent beautiful photos. This was the first time I've used a sitter and it was so reassuring to know my cat was in good hands. I highly recommend these two - and have told my family and friends (all cat owners) how successfully this went.”
“Lucy was absolutely wonderful! She was communicative throughout the entire booking—quick to respond and always kept us updated with the cutest photos. She followed all instructions carefully, and my cat HaoHao was happy and well cared for. We felt at ease knowing Lucy was looking after her. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Natalia took great care of our cats. Even our more cautious and anxious cat, who normally hides from new people, warmed up to her in just a few days. We'd definitely book her again.”
“Danielle was absolutely fantastic to work with! We asked her to do daily drop in visits for our two cats while we were away for a week. She was extremely communicative, and arrived promptly at the agreed time each day. She was very attentive to the cats' needs, and even noticed that our home got too warm one day, and helped to set up a fan. We were very appreciative of the photo updates she sent at each visit. The cats loved her! We will definitely work with Danielle again in the future!”
“Sydney was fantastic! She took such great care of my senior cat, provided great pictures, and had such great communication. I really can't recommend her enough and will definitely call her back :)”
“Stephanie did a great job taking care of our two cats. She sent us pictures each day she visited. She was very prompt and did exactly what we asked of her. Our cats' feeding is a bit complicated and she was very accomodating. We will definitely ask her to pet-sit again.”
“Our elderly cat has trust issues and yet Vanessa was able to convince Peaches to greet her, take her meds and to be (relatively) cordial. A HUGE win for us. Thank you for your help!”
“Vania was awesome!!! I needed someone last minute and she came through. She was great with my two pitbulls and treated them like queens. She was always on time and very communicative with pictures. I strongly recommend and will be using her in the future.”
About: Greetings! I'm Patrick. I've done a bunch of pet and house sitting on another platform, as well as for family, friends and acquaintances, besides having my own pets or sharing them with past partners. I used to practice massage therapy and reiki. I bring a similar intention to handling pets that I brought to responding to clients needs. I'd like to do part-time pet care in the East Bay, with some availability to housesit for longer sits around the full Bay Area. I can be more spontaneous for pet care near Oakland depending upon the timing. For longer resident sits please try to give me a week or two notice with a request. I'll see what works. Thanks! What an honor it is to care for people's homes and pets! I feel excited to transition my pet and house-sitting to this platform. Thanks for your consideration. I enjoy caring for pets and homes. I appreciate the trust-building process, staying accountable and growing as a person, all which these experiences foster. I intend to be a respectful well-communicating sitter and to provide a safe fun atmosphere for your pets. I appreciate receiving questions and feedback during a video chat or in person meet and greet where we get to know each other.
“Zen took care of my special needs cat, our house and our garden while we were traveling for three weeks. It was such a comfort to know she was there and to get regular updates from her as well. I recommend Zenzele without hesitation!”
“Alisha is absolutely wonderful. She took excellent care of our 16-year-old kitty girl. We lost her brother late last year and this was the first time Desie would be on her own during a trip. Alisha took patient effort to make sure she ate and sent plenty of pictures so we could see how our beloved little girl monster was doing. I really felt like I left my cat in the care of someone who loves her as much as I do. 100/10 will absolutely book again for a trip later this year.”

“Jonathan was great. I was on an 8 day deep sea fishing trip and had no way to communicate while out to sea. But when I made it back to civilization I was pleased to receive photos and videos from Jonathan from each day I was gone which set me at ease knowing my kitties were fine and in good hands. I'll definitely be using Jonathan again and would recommend him to anyone needing help with their furry friends.”

“Natalia was awesome. Not only she was able to help me watch neeko at a very last minute due to me having to work but she took great care for her. She even walked Neeko for me during her day care stay which was a first from all the different sitter I had. Thank you Natalia!”
“Kai and I enjoyed Chawntea so much that we rebooked. As a first time furbaby mom it’s hard to just leave my baby with anyone. I am so glad to have found her.”
“Jasmine and Gabriel have been wonderful sitters for my high-energy German Shepherd, Juno. Jasmine is very accommodating of my schedule and takes the best care of Juno, sharing happy pictures along the way. Juno is always excited at drop-off, and content and tired when I pick her up. Perfect.”
“We are so lucky to have Briana to watch our pup. Hersh is very comfortable and loves spending time with her! Having peace of mind when you’re away from your fur baby is important to us so Briana is our go-to! We always enjoy the pics/vids she sends of Hershel ♥️”
About: Hey my names Kenneth de arman , I have large amounts of knowledge on dog psychology and physiology. I have trained dogs for 9 years and have cared for numerous animals since I was 10. I have owned large dogs and small breeds. Also have owned an abundance of reptiles. I am certified in explosive detection. I specialize in obedience, socialization, behavior modification and I raised American Bullys for 8 years. I have owned a large number of dogs over 27 years. There isn’t anything that’s to much for me. What sets me apart of other people is that I work with all breeds but specifically working dogs. I am confident and have trained dogs from start to finish. If you need any help or have any questions I’d be more than welcome to answer them for you. I am available for drop in the am and pick up time around 5pm. I am never discouraged when it comes to caring for an animal. I make time and I will always move my schedule around so that the animals can be happy. I have a fenced yard that is split, boarders have been placed along the fence. This is to prevent fence fighting or becoming territorial. I have large water bowls I keep 2 outside. I refill the water ever 2-3 hours a day. I clean the yard with a pooper scooper three times a day. I spray the yard with cleaner and fly spray. I do this everyday 7 days a week. My dogs are usually outside from morning till night. I give them walks in between the day and I train my malinois a lot due to their high drive( trainer for 9yrs) . Always entertaining them and giving them something to do is crucial.
“Lily is a wonderful sitter that loves my dog as if she were her own! I would definitely reach out to Lily if I need care for Nyxie again. You will not regret asking her to care for your beloved pup ❤️ Thanks so much Lily!”
“We had a perfect first experience with Nicole! She was so kind and welcoming to our shy, nervous boy. He warmed up to her quickly and definitely enjoyed the company of the critters who live there. We look forward to continuing our relationship with her and Joe!”
“Chad took excellent care of my young and energetic greyhound with a lot of separation anxiety. When I picked her up she was happy and excited, but she didn’t show any signs of distress. Prior to my dog’s stay at his home Chad had invited us over for a meet&greet and he took a lot of time to inquire about my dog’s character and behaviors, which made me very confident that things would be alright. Chad was also willing to accommodated my travel schedule. I am happy with the experience and hope he will be available next time I have to go out of town.”
“Seri came back happy and calm, Mikaela did a great job! Especially with Seri being an anxious dog, it was great that she looked so relaxed in the pictures. Thank you to Mikaela!”
“Tatiana walked my dog three times while staying at her house and gave her good exercises. She let my dog playing at the park and hanging out with her ground children. I’m sure that my dog had a good time. She also took good care of her by checking her food, trying to feed her until she got enough. She is a good walker and caregiver as well. I’m happy and comfortable to leave my dog with her.”
About: What sets me apart is that I’ve long been the trusted, go-to pet sitter in my friend group. I have experience caring for dogs and cats, including month long stays with a young puppy where I supported potty training and first outdoor walks. I grew up with dogs, so caring for animals feels natural to me and something I genuinely love. Pet care is already part of my daily routine. I help care for two dogs at home, so feeding, walks, playtime, and general attention are things I’m involved with every day. This makes caring for other pets feel seamless and familiar. I tailor my care to each pet’s routine and personality, whether in my home or a client’s home. I make sure feeding schedules are followed, fresh water is always available, and pets get plenty of attention, play, and exercise as needed. I keep living spaces clean, handle litter boxes or waste promptly, and prioritize comfort, safety, and consistency so pets feel relaxed and cared for in a familiar environment.
“Our recently adopted puppy had his first doggy daycare stay with Beatryx. Beatryx made sure that we felt comfortable that our puppy would be introduced to other pups in a measured and controlled way, and that Beatryx would give us updates about our pup's day. Sure enough we got plenty of picture updates, our pup made friends, and was happy as a clam when we picked him up.”
About: I've been around Golden Retrievers and big dogs all my life, but I love working with all animals! Please take a minute to read the summary of my services below to see if I may be a good fit for your needs. Dog Walking and Check in Visits: I'm can provide walks or check in visits between 10am and 8pm. If you need a running buddy for your pup or someone that can accommodate special needs, I'm your girl! Please note, if you live outside of 5 mile radius, I may add a $3-5 gas fee to each visit. Daycare and Boarding: We have a small yard, a courtyard in front of our home where there's enough lawn space to play Chuckit (if you are comfortable and your dog has good recall), and a nice neighborhood for walks. I am happy to care for your dog while you are at work or traveling. A meet and greet is required for daycare and overnight stay. I will need to ensure my dog Loki gets along with yours (he is very friendly with people and dogs but necessary as a precaution). Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate cats in our home. Availability: My availability is 7 days a week. I am currently between jobs but typically work from home, so I am able to provide continuous care for your dog. I will ensure your pet is comfortable and attended to at all times. If your dog is staying in my home, I have ways to provide seperate spaces for dogs (yard, crate, upstairs/downstairs). I always provide photos of each visit!
“Stache had a great time with Golda. He came back to us calm, stress free and happy. That is a sign that he was very comfortable around Golda. We appreciated the frequent updates and photos!”
“Baxter has stayed Andrea and her pups twice for daycare, with hopefully more days to come! Andrea has a gentle, kind spirit and seems very attuned to a dog's needs. At our meet & greet, she asked great questions about Baxter and his routines. She provided fun updates with pics a few times a day -- much appreciated!”
“This was the first time I brought Charcoal with Rosa, she is kind and at the end of each day it was seen that Charcoal had been comfortable. Rosa answered messages quickly and sent photos of our dog. Of course I would take Charcoal with her again. She also speaks Spanish which was a plus.”
“Such an amazing visit. Hudson had a blast and burned so much energy playing with oscar, he barely had the energy to make it home! ? Iryna provided frequent updates with pics throughout the day so we always knew what the little dude was up to. We will definitely be booking again!!”

About: I took care of my aunt’s dog named Batman for 8 years until my aunt moved away. Ever since I have always enjoyed taking care of animals like dogs, cats, hamsters, fish and chickens! I currently work Sun-Thurs from 1pm to 9:30pm. I don’t have anything that needs my attention before I need to get to work! I am fully free Friday and Saturdays! I have a fenced yard and a dog park down the block. I have an old crate that can be used if needed and no other dogs or cats in the home.
“Natalia was very patient with our border collie who can pull a lot during walks and is over all too energetic most of the time. Her walks really helped Millie be happier during the day before we came hom!”
“Jonathan was fantastic with Roman this weekend! His communication was excellent from start to finish. He kept me updated throughout the walk and sent photos and videos so I could see Roman having a great time. He also made sure Roman was fed and taken care of exactly as instructed. It's clear Jonathan genuinely cares about the pets he looks after, and I felt completely at ease knowing Roman was in good hands. Would absolutely book him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive rover!”
“Sydney was an absolute trooper getting the harness on my dog. Penny was very skittish about someone else putting it on her, but they were super patient and had a successful walk! They also paid great attention to the house alarm system/lock and had no issues with following directions. Would highly recommend for their calm, patient, and caring attitude!”
About: Every dog is treated like part of our family. Unlike many sitters, we board only one family’s dog(s) at a time, so your pet receives our full attention in a calm, low-stress home environment.

We welcome dogs of all breeds and sizes and have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, and dogs that require daily medications. We’ll keep your dog’s routine as close to home as possible—from feeding and walks to playtime, potty breaks, and medications—so you can travel with complete peace of mind. Throughout your dog’s stay, you’ll receive plenty of photo and video updates, so you’ll always know they’re happy, safe, and having a great time with us. I’m a stay-at-home mom with a 12-year old daughter and a 3-year-old son. Our family recently said goodbye to our beloved dog after 14 wonderful years, so I understand that pets are truly family. Because I’m home most of the day, your dog will receive plenty of attention, companionship, and care. We board only one family’s dog(s) at a time, creating a calm, low-stress environment where your pet can feel safe and comfortable.

We’re a dog-friendly family with a secure, fenced backyard where your pup can play, relax, and enjoy plenty of fresh air. With your permission, dogs are welcome on the couch and are treated like part of our family during their stay. My children love animals, so for everyone’s safety, all dogs must be friendly and comfortable around kids, with no history of aggression toward children. We board only one family’s dog(s) at a time, providing a calm, low-stress environment with plenty of individual attention. I provide daily neighborhood walks based on your dog’s routine and needs. Longer walks or hikes are also available for an additional fee. Throughout your dog’s stay, I’ll send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
“Briana has been wonderful with my pup, who can be difficult to walk and has had an injury recently. My dog loves her, and Briana's been so responsible, responsive to requests, and has taken great care of my dog.”
“Thank God for Marlene! My last minute work trips she always books comes through works it into her schedule. She is the best with my super hyper Belgium malinois puppy. She always provides a pic she even will do clean up service for your puppy and give them water. She's just a solid dog walker!”

About: As avid dog lovers with over 15 years of experience, we've cared for various breeds, including our own Shih Tzu who sadly passed away last year. We also frequently looked after our brother’s French Bulldog, who happily reunited with our Shih Tzu, and a Siberian Husky, along with other family dogs. Living in a pet-friendly community with ample grassy areas, your pups will have plenty of space to roam and play. Before your drop-off, we'd love to arrange a meet and greet to acquaint ourselves with you and your furry companions! This is not our first time on Rover. We have been dog-sitting on Rover for about 3 years. The first two years were under a different account with our mom because of age. So we did it together with our parents and were very happy with both animal and human clientele who were just as happy with our services. If you would like to see reviews from then I can send over those Rover Account details as well! We understand the importance of ensuring both you and your beloved pets have peace of mind while you're away, and we're dedicated to providing them with a safe and enjoyable experience under our care! We are currently completely free, accommodating both weekdays and weekends. Our days will be completely catered to the needs of your babies. We understand the importance of convenience, offering flexible pick-up and drop-off times, including same-day services. Whether it's a weekday, weekend, or holiday, we're here to ensure seamless care for your beloved pets. We offer a fenced backyard patio and expansive grassy areas within our community, and we're happy to provide photos of the surroundings upon request prior to booking. Alternatively, we can arrange a meet and greet so you can explore our dog-friendly and secure neighborhood firsthand. Our area boasts ample walking spaces and provides poop bags for your convenience. For crate-trained dogs, we recommend bringing their crate to ensure their comfort. Additionally, please bring any items that will help your dog feel at ease and secure during their stay. If your dog requires medication, be sure to bring it along. While we do offer some dog treats, feel free to bring your pup's favorites to ensure they feel right at home. Your pets' comfort and safety are our top priorities, and we strive to make their stay as enjoyable as possible!
About: I have always had dogs in my life and would love to care for yours! I am very familiar with local hills walks and dog parks. I am an educator in Oakland looking for additional opportunities to utilize my love for dogs by providing high quality, varied dog walks in the hills of Oakland, dog parks and on the East Bay shore (Albany Bulb etc.).

“I had such a great experience boarding my dog, Skye, over Thanksgiving week. From start to finish, the care was outstanding. Skye immediately felt comfortable, and I could tell he was in good hands the entire time. I received regular updates, including photos and messages, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. The environment was clean, safe, and welcoming, and it was clear that Skye was treated like part of the family. He came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. I highly recommend Astrid to anyone looking for reliable, caring, and attentive dog boarding. I’ll definitely book again in the future!”
“Megan and Jenny were amazing! They watched our dog, Beni, while we were out of the country for over two weeks for vacation and sent us daily, adorable, photo updates of him relaxing and playing with the other dogs that overlapped with his stay. He came back happy and healthy and seemed to have the best time. We were joking that he got to go on a vacation too! Will definitely book them to watch Beni again.”
“Our pup Lenny had a fantastic time staying with Chad for a weekend! Chad was flexible and easy to communicate with, and he sent updates and photos. Chad’s house always seems to have a few dogs staying there, which was perfect for Lenny as he is very social. He really seemed to enjoy his stay, we have already booked another boarding with Chad in a couple months!”
“Kendal was so great with Raven and very easy to work with. She got Raven to relax and cuddle by day 2 of knowing her which is a huge deal for our anxious little rescue baby!”
“Alex did a great job looking after our dog for 3 weeks. We received regular updates and pictures throughout the trip which made us feel at ease She is quick with communications when coordinating pickup/dropoff. Overall we had a great experience and would book with Alex again!”
“Ying is a wonderful dog sitter. She took care of our 75lbs Shepard mix and sent us fun photos and generally cared about his well being. We hope she’s available the next time we need a sitter!”
“I’m so glad to have found Hy and Arlo! My dog Neko can be shy with new people and reactive toward other dogs, so I was nervous about leaving her with a dog sitter. Hy met with us in advance and was extremely patient and understanding of Neko’s issues. She understood the need to keep Neko away from other dogs and was so gentle and sweet with her. She was great at communicating and sent plenty of pictures and updates during Neko’s stay. I’m planning to leave Neko with them again this summer and know she will be in good hands!”
“I received a lot of communication, videos and pictures from Jonathan. It was clear that our Minnie was being taken good care of and having a good time. This made us feel so happy that we can go out of town and leave her in good hands!”
“Cindy was great with Mika. She had plenty of walks and outside time and took good care of Mika. I appreciated her communication and her respect for the feeding rules we have for Mika too!”
“Lacey was fantastic with my very big & cuddly dog, who also has severe separation anxiety. He was clearly in good hands! Though it was only for one overnight we will definitely be working with Lacey & her family again!!”
About: I have 21 years of hands-on experience raising my own loving pitbulls, singing with a pack of opinionated huskies, and working with fosters. Whether it’s walks, pets and a calming presence, or special attention to medications (eye and oral) for specific needs, I aim to make each outing a tail-wagging success! I am currently pursuing a second bachelor’s degree in nursing. My lectures are remote, and my in-person commitment is minimal, leaving me plenty of availability and flexibility to make sure that your family members are taken care of to the best of my ability! Afternoons after 12pm - 9pm are ideal but your dog is the priority and I can accommodate most needs. Coming from a background in emergency medicine, I know that trust and safety are two of the highest priorities for caretakers of any kind. I emphasize that I am a guest into homes, and that the well-being of furry family members is the highest priority. Even the most unique needs should be met!
“Kennia watched my sweet Moose for the first time this weekend. She asked questions if unsure about how I would do something (like can he be off leash, etc.) which I appreciated so much! She also sent pictures of Moose to help comfort me while away from him. I’ll absolutely use Kennia again :)”
“I could not be more pleased and appreciative of how well Kristen and Ryan took care of my Solo. This is the longest I have been out of town in a while and I wanted Solo to be in a comfortable and secure place and with people that will look after her as if she was their own. Kristen and Ryan did that for sure. They kept me well informed of how Solo was doing and it really looked like Solo enjoyed her time with them. I highly recommend Kristen and Ryan and will defiantly book any future pet sitting I need with them.”
“This is our 3rd time boarding our furbaby with Jessie, I don't think you could find a better dog sitter than her and Cade and of course Eta too. They are so loving and thoughtful and will do everything they possibly can to ensure your dog is in the most loving hands. If you are looking for someone to spoil your pup while you are away, don't look any further!”
“Jonathan and Tatiana were very responsive and kept us updated on our fur babies activities and status. Their backyard was a great setting for the doggies to play freely. We will definitely consider them to sit for us again in the near future. Thanks guys!”

“Great experience with Robyn. My dog Barley was very happy when I picked him up. Robyn updated me with pictures while we were away. He was exercised regularly and taken care of really well. Super happy with his care.”
“We request last minute sitting for two dogs. Tinwa and Jieying were great with our very reactive dachshund yuzu! They are both Velcro dogs and need a lot of love and coddling. However, yuzu is super wary of strangers and won’t warm up easily. We received many many photos and videos (more than past sitters) showing yuzu having a good time and cuddling up with his new friends. they even dropped off the dogs back home for us(:”
“Briana is always amazing and so great at communication, someone you can trust! She sent daily photos and updates for us while we were gone. We also had a transfer during our time away and she asked all the right questions and kept us so reassured about everything. Thank you!”
“Bibo was amazing! Very communicative and flexible when introducing the dogs before boarding. They provided pictures and updates over the stay, and their pup Mayca was a great host to Kuma!”
