“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 had a great time with this loving family! Maria is very communicative and sent updates throughout the stay, and the girls are so sweet and gentle with our dog! I’m sure she’ll be excited to see them again!”
“Mary took great care of our cats for a month, and it was a fantastic experience. She once again was professional, reliable, and our cats warmed up to her and her cats quickly. I received regular updates with photos which was very reassuring. Our cats were happy and well-cared-for when we returned. I highly recommend Mary for anyone needing a trustworthy and caring cat sitter. Thank you again, Mary!”

“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!”

“Zach did such a great job caring for Sunny. Our dog was immediately comfortable at his home and made fast friends with his small, friendly pup. Zach kept in daily contact with pictures and videos so we always knew Sunny was having a fun time. We will absolutely rebook! Thanks Zach!”

“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!”


“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(:”


“Awesome! She wore my puppy out and she was so happy when I picked her up. Her two dogs are also super sweet and Ruthy does an excellent job with all the dogs she sits! definitely an awesome sitter!”
“Amazing experience. Our rescue pup Conan is anxious, but he felt right at home with Tiana and got along wonderfully with her sweet, well-behaved dog. Tiana sent us pictures and videos the entire time we were away, and it was evident that Conan was relaxed and having fun! Tiana genuinely loves dogs and understands them well. Will definitely book again in the future!”

“Kate and her family were wonderful! We just moved and Grizzly was a bit stressed. He settled in immediately at their house and had plenty of play time. I appreciated the regular updates and picture while we were away. Thank you!”

“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 :)”


“Maia was a wonderful sitter - super communicative and caring! She sent multiple updates and photos while we were away and went way above and beyond in making sure Lula had enough exercise and playtime! I highly recommend her!”

“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.”

“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!”

“Jake was so good with Luffy! Luffy loves Jake and was excited to go to daycare. This was my 2nd boarding and I felt reassured that Luffy was in good hands. Jake sent me lots of updates and the cutest pictures of Luffy. I personally would’ve loved some more , but I totally understand that it’s hard to remember when taking care of other dogs as well. Luffy had so much fun he slept the moment he got home!”


“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.”

“Melissa is a wonderful sitter! I could tell Poppy was happy when I got home. Melissa was communicative, careful, pleasant, and took lovely pictures. I would invite her to sit again any time!!”

“Sophia is the perfect rover. Our cat requires some patience, and she does a great job of providing a friendly and safe environment for him to build trust. She is detail oriented with alarms, pictures and communication. We can’t recommend her enough!”


“Maia was professional with us and personable with Tater. Maia definitely has had experience with cats! I would recommend her to friends and family and would want to work with her again.”


“Liz was wonderful! She was very communicative throughout the weekend, provided detailed updates after each visit, and shared plenty of pictures so we always knew our fur babies were doing well. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such great hands. We would happily rebook Liz in the future and highly recommend her!”

“Great person to work with. She asks all the right questions which I found really reassuring. Helpful check-ins even with my very shy cats. I couldn’t be more happy with my first time using Rover.”


“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!”

“Bryanna was A-MAZ-ZING. she sent me multiple updates a day along with photos and videos. My kitty can get sad and low energy when I travel, so it was so nice to see her engage burger with playtime and toys! My house was super clean after she left so will 100% be hiring Bryanna again!”


“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.”

“Nina was a lifesaver and agreed to watch Butterscotch last minute after another sitter cancelled. She asked great questions during the meet and greet, and was very communicative. My cat is very shy, but she seemed to really like Nina! Nina sent me lots of photos and videos of her cuddling and playing. I asked Nina to do a key exchange with another sitter, and Nina handled that extra snafu with ease. Very grateful for her!”


“Anais took great care of our little kitty Mini. Mins has kidney cancer and needs an injection every night and some extra love and care. She was a happy girl when we got home. We highly recommend Anais.”
“Julia is so kind and communicative. She took great care of our kitten when we took a last minute trip. I would definitely recommend and will reach out again if we ever need another drop by! Thanks Julia!”


“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!”


“Haylee was awesome! She set-up a meet and greet prior to us leaving on our trip. She was accommodating to our schedule and very easy to work with. Our two cats really warmed up to her quickly. She went out of her way to do extra tasks, bring in the trash, packages and water my flower pots. I would not hesitate hiring Haylee in the future.”

“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!”

About: I have owned and cared for both cats and dogs all of my life! I have dog and cat sitted for friends, coworkers, and family! Most of the work involved walking, feeding, and bathing the fur balls! Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule because I work full-time as a legal assistant, primarily from home with only occasional trips to the office. This flexibility allows me to provide consistent attention and care for your pets throughout the day! I am experienced in tending to the needs of young and elderly dogs and cats! If your fur baby has any specific needs to be tended to please let me know so I can accommodate them!

“Suzanne took great care of my baby Cosmo! She was quick to respond to messages, sent thorough updates, and clearly really understands and loves cats - even my shy boy warmed up to her faster than usual. I would definitely recommend her as a pet-sitter and will book again!”


About: I have parented a cat in the past. I know when to give them attention or leave them alone! I love to brush them, give them pets, and play with them. I can also give them meds if need be, clean their litter box, and all other necessities.

“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.”

“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!”

“Another great day with Tamara and Sidney! My puppy bounds out of the car when we show up at her house and comes home happy, tired, and well-taken care of. She is amazing!”

“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.”

“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!”

“VJ and Matthew took amazing care of my dog Willa! They were so communicative and sent lots of pictures and videos. Willa seemed to have a great time with their dogs and feel comfortable despite her anxiety. Will definitely be booking again!”

“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!”


“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!!”

“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!”

“Sydney treated my dog as her own. Her space for them is lovely and she is kind and very accommodating to pets needs. I would bring my senior dog here again for sure ! Highly recommend”


“Huey loves going to Ruthy's! He always walks into her place confidently. She takes the dogs to the park at least twice a day, works on training, cuddles with him and socializes him with other people. I'm SO lucky to have found her! She treats Huey like he's her own. Thank you Ruthy!! ”

“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!”

“I have a very social and active little dog. Sara returned him content and exhausted from a day of play and long walks. I have the photos to prove it. Great care. Much appreciated! :)”

“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!”

“We’ve done vacation boarding, but suddenly needed some day care when we were having workers in the house. Anthony and Nikita kindly hosted Bear on short notice, which was much appreciated!”

About: We know what it feels like to try to find a good pet sitter and leave a fur baby in someone else's care. We live with two teens, we have experience with senior dogs and cats (as well as chickens and rabbits) and with medicine administration to ill dogs. We will only ever book one household at a time (unless you have a special request). Mike grew up with dogs, Nicola grew up with cats, and we have had a family rabbit, chickens, and dog in recent years. We have just welcomed a trained service dog into our household as of August 2026. For everyone's comfort and safety, please anticipate a meet and greet. We work from home and are flexible and ready to meet the needs of dogs visiting our home. If your pet needs care in your home, we will make sure to meet the schedule of care you provide. NOTE: As of September 2026, one of our family members has welcomed a TRAINED SERVICE DOG who is now part of our household. (A service dog is not like a typical pet, in that they are partnered with one individual, are extremely well trained, and very easy going with other humans and animals.) The yard is fenced, we can crate your dog if preferred, but just want your dog to feel safe and comfortable. If your pet needs care in your home, we will make sure to be considerate of your and your pet's spaces and routines.

“Lynn was a super reliable dog walker again for my pup! I really appreciated her communication and understanding when I had to cancel an additional walk to take my dog to the vet.”

“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!”

“I highly recommend Zen for dog walks. She’s incredibly patient and has a great vibe and energy. I’ll definitely be using her for dog walks in the future. Thank you again for walking Viktoria!”


“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!”

“Daria is an exceptional pet sitter who has a remarkable ability to connect with our pups. Her patience, love, and compassion are evident in her interactions with them. She has a keen understanding of our dogs’ unique training styles, and they readily follow her lead. I highly recommend Daria for any pet care needs.”

“Patrice was very prompt and communicative. She helped my nervous senior dog to feel comfortable with her and was able to take him out for a successful walk when he has been very shy with other dog walkers. Would definitely book with her again!”

“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: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs. I currently have a dog of my own and understand just how much our pets mean to us—they’re family. When I moved my dad to California so I could become his full-time caregiver, bringing his dog with us was never a question. He’s an important part of our family and daily life. I previously had another beloved dog from the age of 13 through 27, giving me experience with puppies, adult dogs, and seniors. I’m comfortable providing patient, attentive care and making sure each dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. As someone who genuinely loves animals, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. Whether your dog needs a walk, playtime, or simply some extra companionship, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I currently care for my own dog, so daily walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure he gets plenty of attention are already built into my schedule. Because I have a flexible schedule right now, I’m able to provide pets with extra attention, companionship, and care throughout the day rather than just fitting them in between other commitments. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit, or keeping a pet company while their owner is away, I enjoy making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I believe every pet is happiest when their routine stays as consistent as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any household rules. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and exercise while their owners are away. For walks and drop-in visits, I prioritize safety, communication, and making sure each pet’s individual needs are met. I understand that every animal has a different personality and comfort level, so I take the time to build trust and help them feel secure. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to have peace of mind when someone else is caring for your pet, and I treat every animal as if they were my own.

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.
“Anais is incredibly puntual, caring, and communicative. She is mindful of my aging dog’s needs and even took her to sniff some wildflowers at my dog’s favorite spot during their walk.”

About: I am a dog lover and lived with dogs my whole life. I have taken care of dogs on and off for the past 8 years including boarding, house-stays, and walks. I currently have pretty flexible schedule and can make my hours fit for you - if there is a time conflict I will make sure to inform you and propose another time (if applicable). I cannot currently board dogs in my home (my dog is going through cancer treatment), but I am happy to do house-stays or walks. I ensure pets have their boundaries respected and I will ask plenty of questions to understand your pet’s personality and potential reactivity.
About: Dogs have been in my life since I was a kid, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of looking after dogs with all kinds of personalities and needs: • Gator, my grandma’s goofy orange lab, who loved carrying giant rocks and playing in the water. • A shar-pei with big “Stanley-from-The-Office” energy, who needed daily walks and, later in life, extra care with meals and medication. • My parents’ pitbull, who I raised from the puppy stage and helped train—my most challenging and rewarding experience! These experiences taught me patience, responsibility, and how to adapt to each dog’s unique needs. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with dogs (and I think they can tell!). I am currently doing freelance work and studying from home which means If there is WiFi, I am more than happy to stay at a place to be attentive with the pet and also keep them company. When I care for a pet I make sure they feel safe with me in their home, I let them warm up to me and I make sure they know that I am a friend by giving them their favorite treat. I prefer to meet pet before hand. If it’s a dog I avoid other dogs on walks and even if encouraged or recommended, I do not take them to the dog park. When in my care I want them to be safe and I know that can get tricky with other pups so I avoid it all around.
“Melanie is great! She takes good care of my dog! She is always very punctual and follows all the instructions. My dog was really happy when she took her out! Definitely will choose her again next time!”

“I booked Asia at the last minute for a long 6 days stay, and she was absolutely amazing. She was incredibly responsive and very understanding of my dog’s situation. She was also flexible and patient with my late-hour drop‑off and pick‑up, which I really appreciated. She took such good care of Coquita, and to my surprise, my dog even got along with her dog, which is something that never happens because Coquita usually isn’t friendly with other dogs. She kept me updated throughout the stay with pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. I would definitely book with her again. She made a stressful, last‑minute situation feel easy and reassuring, and I felt completely comfortable leaving Coquita in her care.”
