“If I could give Mariola 10 stars I would! It can be very nerve wracking to leave your fur baby somewhere new, especially for an entire week, but immediately, I knew my senior pug Pennie was in excellent hands with Mariola! In fact, so much so, that Pennie was more than content to stick around longer when I came to take her home on day 8. I so appreciate having a loving, caring responsible dog sitter like Mariola so close by to care for my pug while I’m traveling for work. Thank you again so much!”
“First time using Rover and we were very happy! We felt comfortable knowing our dog was in good hands, and got updates daily. We were nervous about our dog trying to slip out the front door in a new environment, but Rob's gated entryway put us at ease.”
“Thank you Megan & Jenny! I needed to board my dog for one night with short notice and Megan & Jenny were able to board him. They responded quickly to my request and communicated with texts and photos during my dog's stay. My dog looked happy and it seems like he was well cared for. I will be contacting Megan & Jenny again for dog sitting and boarding.”
“Spunky did a trial overnight stay and Joann was super sweet and welcoming! I got regular updates, photos, and could tell that my dog was truly comfortable and well cared for.”
“Our boy lives hanging out with Michelle and her hubby. She takes such loving care of him and we know he is in good hands. Michelle is easy to communicate with and keeps us updated throughout his stay! Highly recommended!”
“Anchisa is amazing! She is kind and attentive and took wonderful care of our Frenchie while boarding her. Bella is wary of new people and places, but warmed up very quickly to Anchisa and was happy and comfortable with her in no time, due to Anchisia’s warm, loving, and calm demeanor. We will absolutely be requesting her services again!”
“Thanks to Josh for a wonderful stay! Django looked like he had a great time and seemed right at home with Josh. They say that dogs can sense great humans when they interact with them, and I can tell Josh is definitely a great guy who loves dogs. Highly recommend :)”
“Nova loves staying with Ruthy! When they first met, Nova was hesitant to hop in the car with her. Now she jumps right in, ready to spend the day together and hang out with her new friends. I'm sure she is already looking forward to her next visit. :)”
“Zach was great, provided pictures and updates. We also did a quick meet and greet prior to the stay and it made me feel comfortable leaving Bentley with him. I would definitely recommend Zach and would use him again.”
“Maria and Kevan are wonderful!! They made our dog feel at home and I love all the photo updates I get from them. They’re very sweet and kind and I would definitely recommend them to any pup.”
About: I work for a professional dog service that's been open 10+ years with a private dog park. I'm looking for extra work other then working at the dog park. I also do two dog pack walks after the park with the dogs that cannot go to the due to a variety of issues including aggression and/or anxiety. Whenever there is an issue I am the go to for these dogs who love me with all their heart and I in return. Currently work from 9am-2:30pm Monday through Thursday and Friday 9am-12pm as a dog handler so I am available for afternoon/evenings. I am also free on the weekends. I have a three bedroom house with a large backyard with tall wooden fences and a chain link fence to access it. Two bedrooms are unoccupied so I have plenty of space available and also live near point Isabel.
“Sara and Evan were wonderful with our 11mo puppy! We were nervous about leaving her (mostly just afraid of what mischief she might get up to in a new home) but Sara and Evan handled her puppy energy well and she had a blast playing with and learning from their older dogs. I would happily recommend Sara and Evan to anybody looking to board their dogs!”
“We’ve used River several times over 11 years and we’ve always had positive experiences, but this was the best. Josephine was so caring and she sent us reports and photos while we were abroad. When we came back, Rocco was just happy and well adjusted. Thank you!”
“Jakree took such great care of Lisa, and I could tell she loved staying with him. He sent check-ins and photos throughout her stay, which made me feel so much better being away from my baby. Seeing how happy and comfortable she was gave me real peace of mind. I’m so grateful for the care he gave her and would definitely book with him again.”
“This was my first time using Rover, and Kristiina was awesome. She shared videos and pictures and gave me a brief update everyday. I knew my dog was happy and having a great time. Also the fact that she has a large open wonderful dog park literally across the street made it a no-brainer that he'd be able to go to the bathroom frequently and have good interactions with dogs. Lastly, in general she's got a really good nature you can tell she's great with dogs.”
“Chen and his family did a wonderful job taking care of Ume for the week. It was a last minute trip for me, so I was grateful for the quick response and many wonderful updates. He sent professional looking photos of my dog on their walks and daily routine. If you're looking for a dog sitter who will follow your dog's routine and communicate regularly, Chen's your dog sitter. His daughter was there to translate as well and that was helpful in person. I have already booked them for my next trip.”
“It was our first time rover-ing with our new dog so we were a little nervous but they took great care of Francine! It’s clear that they are dog lovers and made Francine feel right at home. We got a ton of pictures and they even helped coordinate pick up with a friend of ours while we were still out of town. Highly recommend!”

“Sandra was absolutely fantastic caring for my older cats who need lots of attention. She was incredible with communication and arrived on time through two separate bookings. She is very consistent! My two cats were very comfortable with her and seemed to be excited to see her when she would arrive. I highly recommend.”
“Everything appeared to be taken care of to my specifications and my cats were happy and healthy when I got home! Matthew was also very communicative and friendly throughout my time being gone. Will book with him again!”
“Shirley is incredible and dependable! We’ve used her numerous times and she always goes the extra mile for us. We feel safe and secure knowing she’s looking out for our pet and home”
“Kai was a spectacular sitter for my girl Mia. Mia is an affectionate cat but it’s clear that Kai has a real gift for caring for animals. This won’t be the last time she sits for Mia, and I know Mia can’t wait to see Kai again!!”
“Jasmine was wonderful to work with. She came by to go over everything even though it was a last minute booking. She took great care of our 2 cats, including giving a daily medication. Her notes and pictures gave me confidence about how things were going while we were away.”
About: I’m a lifetime cat guy. I think I’ve been hooked since birth. At 10 years old cat-sitting was my very first job! Our own family cats gave me my earliest lessons on animal behavior. When I first moved to the bay I got involved volunteering with Cat Town and Full Circle Cats, and shortly thereafter began working with cats and dogs at the East Bag SPCA. In my role as a humane educator I helped teach children and adults about cat body language, cat training, and how to build relationships of trust with shy cats and kittens. I have gone on to work with lots of amazing wildlife at AZA accredited facilities, but cats will forever be my favorite.
“Becca went above and beyond in taking care of my senior kitty for check in visits while I was away. Thanks for the great communication and taking care of things so we never has to worry, Becca!”
“Thanks so much! Shelly was an awesome cat sitter and was flexible with our schedule while backpacking and without service. Our two cats clearly loved her. Would absolutely hire her again in the future.”
“Luna’s first stay with William was such a success! She had so much fun and was such a happy kitten when she got back! William was super attentive, responsive and I had high confidence with leaving Luna with him! Thank you again!”
“Lucas was wonderful and incredibly accommodating for a last minute urgent booking. He spent extra time with the pets and kept me well updated :) my go-to catsitter from now on,”
“Joelle is a very kind and attentive sitter who looked after our two cats. They're super shy and took extra care to make sure they were well fed and comfortable. Highly recommend!”
“Ruby accepted our last minute request and was very attentive to our cats, giving them great playtime and affection! Ruby was incredibly responsive, and flexible with our scheduling needs. Highly recommend!”
“Ryan is awesome! We were leaving for a wedding over the weekend and needed someone to stop in and feed/play with our cat. Ryan responded to my request within minutes and was proactive about coming over to get instructions and meet Oliver. While we were gone, he sent updates and even noticed that our cat seemed to have ear irritation. The day we came back, he promptly returned my keys. We couldn't asked for anyone better! I'd highly recommend him!”
About: Thankfully I grew up with cats. I had the pleasure of having littermates in my family for 10yrs. I love matching a cat’s energy. So as long as I understand the cat’s temperament, we’ll be good.
“Cassandra went beyond expectations and really took care of my little ones. She on time and asked me if there was anything else she could do to help. She was able to wipe down my Persians water eyes (despite his tantrums) and asked questions to clarify the cats needs. I would definitely rebooks and recommend!”
“This is the second time Veronica cat-sat for us. She was responsible, communicative and caring. I really appreciate her help and keeping our cat healthy and happy. I highly recommend her! Happy to work with here again.”
About: Since I moved to the US from Brazil, my own cats stayed back with a good friend, so I totally get missing that cat energy in my life! That’s why I’m always ready to spoil your feline friends like they’re my own. From playtime to cozy snuggles, I’ll make sure your cat gets all the attention they need. I’ve handled everything from feeding picky eaters to keeping litter boxes fresh, and I’m comfortable giving medications if needed. Let’s just say I still need my cat fix every once in a while, and your kitty can be my purrfect companion! 😻
“Heather sent regular texts, photos and videos of my cat, l who was clearly very comfortable and happy. A fantastic pet sitter. Would absolutely recommend leaving your furry children with Heather for piece of mind while away!”

“If you're anything like me, the guilt of being away at work all day weighs on me, but knowing that instead, my fur-baby is now getting tons of attention, pets, walks, and love puts my mind at ease. Getting cuddles from Van Joseph and Matthew, the company of their sweet little dogs, and soft blankets to sleep in is priceless! I got so many precious photos which brightened my day! Overjoyed to have found Van Joseph and Matthew to care for my sweet girl Petunia!!”
About: I've taken care of many dogs from chihuahua's, poodle mixes, corgi's and pointers. I have the most experience with small dogs but would love to take care of your large pups too! I have experience caring for and feeding medication to senior dogs from Muttville in San Francisco and lived and cared for a very anxious corgi for two years so have a lot of experience navigating and understanding when a dog needs space. I cannot wait to meet your pup! I'm starting grad school in late august so have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available weekdays and weekends for now and will update my schedule once school is back in session. I have a small fenced in yard if the pup needs a quiet enclosed area to play in. I have experience crating anxious corgis and giving medication and am willing to follow any rules you have to ensure good training and safety for your dog. Ultimately, I just want you and your pet to be comfortable!
“michelle and her husband are the best sitters and have been my go-tos ever since i adopted roo over a year ago. roo’s a little anxious but they make her feel comfortable and keep me posted on how she’s doing throughout the day. highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Anthony was one of the best dogsitters I’ve connected with through Rover. He has been super clear with communication, very flexible/accommodating of Fluffy’s needs and my schedule, and most importantly, took super good care of Fluffy. She’s a high maintenance dog that barks a lot, but I could tell immediately that Anthony is very confident in taking care of all kinds of dogs in all situations.”
“We could not have asked for a better first Rover experience! Alisson was attentive to our dog's needs and made him feel welcome in her home - enough to fall asleep on her lap! She was very communicative and flexible and would definitely recommend for your doggy daycare needs”
“Mariola was an awesome sitter! She was very responsive to our puppy, Pao Pao's, needs and went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable. If you're looking for a responsible and loving sitter, Mariola is the one!”
“Very nice family and good enviroment for my baby otis!!! Sent me updates and communicated with me throughout the day!!! Would definetly take my otia back again. She helped on short notice too!!!”
“Ruthy is the best! Huey goes to the dog park multiple times a day and is socializing with the other dogs all day. He comes home tired, happy and hungry. Thank you ruthy!! ”
About: I've always loved dogs and enjoy spending time with them, whether that's going for walks, playing, or just keeping them company. I know every dog has a different personality and routine, so I take the time to make sure they're comfortable and cared for the way they're used to. I work from home three times a week which gives me more time to care for pups. This is something that allows me more flexibility with care needs. I do not have any other pets in the home which allows your pet to have all my attention, therefore meeting whatever need they may have.
“Chrystal was very receptive and understanding of the needs for my old husky girl. Actually, she confirmed that my dog was very sweet with people, mainly herself and her family. Crystal was able to work and stay with my dog as I mentioned was desirable as my dog has had separation issues. It looks like my dog was taken very good care of and I appreciate it.”
“Alejandra is the best! She took such good care of MoMo and sent me photos & updates throughout the day. This is my 3rd booking with her and my trust in her grows each time - Tysm Alejandra!”
“Chriz was so great with our senior boy! I was a little worried leaving Elvis since he was recovering from an ulcer but she provided updates and was able to follow his medication schedule. She's very caring and Elvis seemed to warm up to her quickly and was at ease when he normally can be a little anxious in new environments. Thankful to find a sitter like Chriz!”
“I really appreciated the quick and clear communication, including specific care Jakree gave our dog while he was with him for the day. He sent photos throughout the day which was comforting to see. He has a dog friendly backyard where my dog had fun playing with the other dogs in his care. I will definitely reach out to Jakree again.”
“Terrific! Last minute booking, Brooke was dependable and willing! She was great with my dogs; relaxed, knowledgeable, and kind! Dogs were happy and well cared for, thank you Brooke! I will definitely rebook with Brooke!”
“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!”
“My dog had a wonderful time! Bonnie was incredibly accommodating and caring, and did a great job with a working breed — they had lovely walks and plenty of playtime together. I loved getting pictures and videos throughout the day, such a nice touch. She also sent updates on eating and snacking. Highly recommend for daycare!”

“Matthew was communicative, punctual, and good with our three dogs. He was able to get all three of them walking quickly, a decent distance, and going to the bathroom, which is very valuable for us! We will definitely request Matt again!”
“Absolutely fantastic pet partner. Erika is great with people and dogs (and knows the priorities from lots of experience with both.) Thrilled to have her as part of the pet care team.”
“Becca is awesome! Super communicative, and Stella adores her! Two thumbs way up, all the high fives! It’s been wonderful and a major peace of mind having Becca around and knowing my pup is well taken care of :)”
About: I have walked dogs and pet sat cats and dogs. I also have done lot of volunteering at two shelters the SPCA and Chico animal shelter. I also have done the SPCA dog training summer camp. I normally feed my dog and also she is 14 , also she is is pretty lazy, this means you need to get her walking more than she would like. I treat my pet like they’re a human. I love using hand signals to ask for the dog wants and to talk to the dog.
“Super punctual, flexible & cared for our girl really well! He took her on different routes every day to keep her entertained and was v communicative. This was great peace of mind since we were on holiday! Would highly recommend Gary and rebook for any future needs!”
About: Hello, my name is Heather. I’m an Oakland based animal care giver & artist. Offering dog walking, pet sitting, and overnight care. I’m most experienced with cats, dogs, ferrets and bunnies, but have a love for all in the animal kingdom. I once trained a fighting pit bull into a licensed assistance dog. It was exhausting but so fulfilling! I like to spend my free time creating art, walking the beach and hiking. Does your lonely pet enjoy this type of environment? Let’s meet up! I can’t wait to meet you & your furry friend 🐾 As a freelance artist, I enjoy a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive, dependable pet care with plenty of time for walks, play, and companionship. Your pets deserve safe, loving, and reliable care. 5 Star care- attentive, and trustworthy, I provide peace of mind while keeping your furry family happy, secure, and comfortable.
About: Hey there! 🐾 My Wi-Fi name is "House of Dogues". That probably tells you everything you need to know about me. I've been around pups my whole life: walks, sits, feedings, bath time, you name it. Friends, family, neighbors have all trusted me with their fur babies, and I take that seriously. But also I make it really fun. Here's what makes me a little different: I follow the dog's lead. Some pups want a big adventure. Others want a slow sniff-everything kind of walk (honestly iconic). On our walks, they pick the route. I'm just happy to be invited. I also put together little enrichment activities because a stimulated dog is a happy dog, and yes, I talk to them like they understand everything I'm saying, because they do. I'm a big dog park person too, but I'm picky about it in the best way. I stick to parks where I already know the people and the dogs, so I know exactly what kind of environment your pup is walking into. No surprises, just good socialization with faces I trust. When your dog stays with me, they get a whole day tailored to their vibe: cozy, active, or somewhere in between. And you? You'll get so many photo and video updates you might actually forget you miss them. Might. At home I live with Totó, my shichihuahua who is fully convinced he runs this household (he does). He's taught me everything about big personality in a small body, and he's an excellent host. I have a special soft spot for senior dogs. I know how to give them the patience, gentleness, and extra love they deserve. My clients always say the same two things: they got way more updates than they expected, and they finally felt okay leaving their dog with someone. That's the whole goal. 🐶 I work remotely, which means I'm home most of the day and genuinely available, no scrambling, no rushing. Midday walk? Morning sit? Last-minute check-in? I can make it work. Pet care isn't something I squeeze into my routine, it basically IS my routine. Your dog will never feel like an afterthought. Safety is everything to me, and so is making sure your pet actually enjoys their time. In your home, I follow your instructions closely, keep things clean and consistent, and make sure your pup always has water, food, and lots of love. On walks, I stick to routes and parks I know well, with dogs and people I already trust. No random off-leash situations, no surprises. At my place, it's calm, cozy, and very much a dog household (my Wi-Fi is literally called "House of Dogs"). Totó, my shichihuahua, is a great host as long as you respect that he's in charge.
“David is an amazing dog walker. He’s incredibly attentive and patient with my nervous, shy dog, and she absolutely adores him. It’s clear he genuinely cares about the dogs he works with, and I feel completely at ease knowing she’s in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
About: I‘ve rescued, fostered and placed animals from different species in homes since 11 years ago. It all started with my soul dog who made me get into dog training and ethology. More animals came into my life and continued to taught me how to properly take care for disabled and senior animals who had terminal cancer, seizures, and mobility issues. As well as different species of animals that urgently needed veterinary care and new homes like bearded dragons, turtles, rats, chickens, cows and fish. I‘m surrounded by a community of animal rescuers who have taught me a lot on how to help more animals and educate the public about their needs and challenges. It‘s very important for pet parents to leave their animals at the hands of people who understand that these pets are family members and each of them is unique and deserves to be given the best care and life possible. I‘m currently available most days of the week, and trying to get consistent pups that I can take on adventures with others at least twice a week. I‘m also available for boarding and house sitting. I train tuesdays-fridays at night for an hour. I like to do multiple walks and exercise at selected parks around berkeley and oakland. I live in a 1b-1ba apartment with a big cemented balcony in an apartment building. All my windows and balcony door have a screen. My door goes to a carpeted hallway with other apartments so there‘s no possibility of escaping accidents. I also have a 360 camera at my apartment which I use for monitoring.
About: I've been watching dogs for about 7 years now, mostly small and medium dogs, and I have a real soft spot for herding breeds. I love going on walks with them, usually around 30-45 minutes in the neighborhood, to help burn off their energy and keep them active. I especially love walking younger, energetic dogs because I can go longer with them (getting my steps in) but, I also have a big love for senior dogs and take it slower and easier for them. Every dog is different, so I like to give them what they need — whether that's a good long walk or just sweet cuddles and their own space to relax. I try to keep things calm for them the whole time they're with me. I also send lots of pictures throughout the day so you can see your pup enjoying themselves and know they're safe and having a good time. Right now I'm actually watching a friend's dog, and I'd love to bring that same care to your pup too. I do ask for at least 24 hours' notice when possible, just so I can work around everyone's schedule and be fully ready for your dog. I have a lot of flexibility right now and I'm available throughout the week and most weekends, aside from Saturday nights. That means I can usually work around whatever schedule fits you and your pet best. I prefer taking care of animals in their own home. When their family is away, that can be a stressful, uncertain time for them, so making sure they still feel safe and at home is always my top priority. I keep their routine as normal as possible — same feeding times, same walks, same spaces — so the change feels as small as possible for them. If we're at my place instead, I love watching them explore and get curious about a new environment. Helping them feel comfortable and at ease is always the most important thing to me, whether that's in their home or mine.
About: I've grown up with big dogs and am now a dog and cat mom. Before my dog I boarded friends' dogs with me, watching them while they were away. My big dog is from the shelter and is fearful, so I have experience with shy shelter dogs, training, and managing their triggers. I also walk others' dogs. My schedule is flexible and is different depending on the day of the week. Communication is key , but I will try to make things work. At clients' homes I will follow their instructions and communicate any questions. I make sure the doors are locked when I leave, and try to be careful entering so animals don't potentially run away. Depending on instructions or pet temperaments, I will observe and work with them for enrichment and socialization needs. I make sure there is enough water in the bowls and feed as needed. For cats, I clean the litterboxes. They will not be in my home since I have pets.
“Alexandria is absolutely wonderful! She provides a fun and safe environment and our dogs love her. She has great experience and communicates well! Her love and dedication for furry family members really shines. She really came through in a strong way for our family! Thanks Alexandria!”
About: I’ve been raising a very cute black pug for four years. For some reason, I couldn’t bring him with me and I miss him a lot. I really love dogs, so I’d love to do some dog-related work in my free time. I’m happy to let dogs on the sofa or bed, since I always clean them up after walks to make sure both they and the environment stay clean. I’ve spent time with many different dogs, including some that were initially unfriendly. By offering treats, approaching them slowly, and taking the time to get to know them, I was able to build trust. I’m very patient with dogs! From Monday to Friday, I’m usually out for 2–4 hours a day, but I’m home all day on weekends. During my free time, I’m happy to take dogs out to play. 1. Diet: I carefully control meal portions and feeding times, and always make sure dogs stay hydrated—especially in hot weather. After walks, I wait 5–10 minutes before giving them water. 2. Hygiene: I clean eye discharge promptly and keep both the dogs and their environment clean. 3. Exercise: I walk dogs 2–3 times a day. 30min/walk. 4. Playtime: In my free time, I love playing fetch, tug-of-war, or hide-and-seek with them. 5. Companionship: I spend as much time with them as possible. 6. Safety on walks: Dogs are always leashed outside. I stay alert when they interact with other dogs and separate them immediately if there are signs of aggression. I also make sure they don’t eat things off the ground, and I always clean up after them. 7. Sleeping: I used to sleep with my own dog, so if your dog is used to that, they’re welcome to join me too.
About: My name’s Lauren. At one point in my life I had 22 pets and I would have kept adopting. I was raised with hunting dogs so needless to say our walks will be engaging and tiring. Born by a cat lady, so your sassy kitties need no fear, I speak their tail language and respect their space. I’ve been watching house pets and reptiles for years Recently I have lost my 2 year old chocolate Lab to a freak infection, Rover is a chance to let me love your animals without needing to commit as a full time fur mom again. If you have any questions or want to share fun cat stories, message me. I cannot wait to meet your four legged dog and kitty friends
About: Hey I’m Izzy! I’m here to treat your fur babies as if they’re mine. When I’m with your dog I like to stimulate their mind by bringing treats and toys and have fun with some training (of course with your permission first!). I am currently a self employed dog trainer so I do know how to handle different types of dogs. My main experience is training and I frequently work with service dogs. I have experience with all kinds of temperaments so don’t be shy to let me know if your dog has an anxiety issue or is overly excited. My upmost important priority is making your dog feel as comfortable as possible when he or she is under my care. I can’t wait to meet all these beautiful faces! I am also a student and still new to the bay area. Luckily at the moment my schedule is rather flexible, I can potentially adjust my schedule for your pet on certain occasions! I will follow whatever instructions you give me when I stay over at your home. There will be constant supervision when let outside or on a walk. Your dog will have a warm bed (or crate) to sleep in and their mental + physical needs will be met everyday!
About: I have tons of experience sitting small, medium, and large sized dogs, and absolutely love them. I have boarded dogs in my own home, in the pet sitters home, love dog walking, and going to the dog park. My rates reflect over 15 years of experience, I can be 100% attentive to your dogs since I work remotely from home and have a safe and clean home to board your dog. I work from home as a graphic designer, so my schedule is really flexible, which also means that I can be attentive to your dog more so than others who may have a normal work schedule. Clean and safe home, fenced backyard, smoke-free, large park only a couple blocks away. I can offer custom special rates for those that live within 2 miles or so from downtown/midtown Sacramento.
“Robin has been great at communicating quickly, getting to know my doggo, and gaining his trust! He’s a pandemic puppy so isn’t used to a dog walker. I’m so glad she’s been able to get him going as I start to go back to work.”

“Thank you Megan & Jenny! I needed to board my dog for one night with short notice and Megan & Jenny were able to board him. They responded quickly to my request and communicated with texts and photos during my dog's stay. My dog looked happy and it seems like he was well cared for. I will be contacting Megan & Jenny again for dog sitting and boarding.”

“Maria and Kevan are wonderful!! They made our dog feel at home and I love all the photo updates I get from them. They’re very sweet and kind and I would definitely recommend them to any pup.”
About: I work for a professional dog service that's been open 10+ years with a private dog park. I'm looking for extra work other then working at the dog park. I also do two dog pack walks after the park with the dogs that cannot go to the due to a variety of issues including aggression and/or anxiety. Whenever there is an issue I am the go to for these dogs who love me with all their heart and I in return. Currently work from 9am-2:30pm Monday through Thursday and Friday 9am-12pm as a dog handler so I am available for afternoon/evenings. I am also free on the weekends. I have a three bedroom house with a large backyard with tall wooden fences and a chain link fence to access it. Two bedrooms are unoccupied so I have plenty of space available and also live near point Isabel.
“Sara and Evan were wonderful with our 11mo puppy! We were nervous about leaving her (mostly just afraid of what mischief she might get up to in a new home) but Sara and Evan handled her puppy energy well and she had a blast playing with and learning from their older dogs. I would happily recommend Sara and Evan to anybody looking to board their dogs!”
“Ulunma was a dream come true! My dog was happy to temporarily become part of her family. Ulunma was very responsive to communication from me and regularly sent me pictures of my dog. I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing that my dog was in great hands. I will surely use her again!”
“Jakree took such great care of Lisa, and I could tell she loved staying with him. He sent check-ins and photos throughout her stay, which made me feel so much better being away from my baby. Seeing how happy and comfortable she was gave me real peace of mind. I’m so grateful for the care he gave her and would definitely book with him again.”
“This was my first time using Rover, and Kristiina was awesome. She shared videos and pictures and gave me a brief update everyday. I knew my dog was happy and having a great time. Also the fact that she has a large open wonderful dog park literally across the street made it a no-brainer that he'd be able to go to the bathroom frequently and have good interactions with dogs. Lastly, in general she's got a really good nature you can tell she's great with dogs.”
About: Animals seem to gravitate towards me, I grew up in the country surrounded by many animals and am a lover of all creatures. I have always learned that positive reinforcement is better than negative and I live by this rule. I work from home mostly, I’m very available, and am really excited to get to be around dogs on a regular basis again. I’ve taken care of many of my friends dogs over the years, working from home allows me to help with my favorite furry friends when my people friends travel. Last year I lived on a farm and took care of two pit bulls for most of the year, it was a great joy to be able to run around with them and teach the puppy new commands. I am so excited to get to experience puppy love again regularly. I have done this for friends just for the joy of it and now to get to do it and get a little income too is just great.
“We had a great experience boarding our pup with Go. He is very quick to respond, communicates clearly and is very pleasant and friendly. We had a meet and greet twice before we actually left my pup with Go and his wife. They were kind to Hira, asked good questions, clearly went through my care instructions. We felt comfortable boarding for almost 3 weeks. Throughout the stay Go sent pictures, and kept us informed. They took Hira to the park every day and she seemed very happy and comfortable with them. We will definitely rebook for our next trip! Highly recommend! Thanks Go!”
About: I’ve had pets since I was young including caring for and owning small, medium, and large dogs. I appreciate the need for exercise and am happy to maintain any rules for your pet to keep consistency. I’m well versed in giving pets medicine, training puppies with voice, treats and eye contact. I currently have a 60lb dog that is strong and unreliable meeting dogs on leash so I am versed in managing larger dogs and boundaries needed in their care so they feel supported. (My dog is with me 50% time and I will only take in sitting jobs when she isn’t here). I also appreciate and care for cats though I have never owned one. I work full-time from home and a two bedroom apartment, and I’m available to board. I walk regularly and have my own dog 50% time. I will only board when I don’t have her. I can do fast walks, slow walks, and I have a car to take dogs to hikes if that is desired. I have an unfenced yard for quick potty breaks if needed, but prefer walking dogs on leash around the Elmwood neighborhood if they are staying with me. It’s good to get exercise! Also happy to walk them in your area if I’m just doing a house visit. I have a laundry room where I can close off any pet food storage if your pet is adventurous and gets into things. I like building trust and boundaries with dogs early so that they can feel secure. I also love playing with toys and keeping them in rotation whether that’s a Kong, pull toys, cat feathers or mice, etc.
“Veronica was a caring and responsive caretaker for my 15 year old lab. Super patient and communicative, sending pictures and updates and asking questions to make sure she was doing the most to take the very best care of her! Highly recommend!!”
“Our golden retriever, Lucy, had a wonderful time with Kimberly and her family while we were away. Communication was great and we were relieved to have her in such good hands. We'd definitely book again!”
