“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!”
“Nicola and Michael were wonderful with Jupiter. He has special needs since birth and gets tired easily. Jupiter came home happy and not over tired. Also, I received photos everyday, which was great. I am so appreciative..”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Rob was amazing with our fur baby Uni!!! He was very easy to communicate with, gave updates with pictures, and is trustworthy and friendly. Our Uni had an amazing time!! I would definitely recommend Rob and look forward to using him again in the future!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
About: I have been walking dogs and sitting for cats and dogs for over 10 years. Mostly for family friends and neighbors. I love dogs and have lived with a big husky for also over 10 years. I grew up with cats aswell. I have experience walking big dogs that pull and i have even been able to train some dogs. I now live in a house with a big fenced backyard so i would love to host dogs. I work from home aswell so i am always around to take care of them. i work full time from home as an artist. I go on walks everyday and i am always able to give your pet attention! I have a car aswell so transportation is easy. I spend a lot of time in my backyard and would love to play with more animals. It is completely fenced in. I have a fenced yard with lots of space to run. Im already very active and love to go on walks and hikes. I work at home so everyday i am here except for grocery shopping and errands!
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!!”
“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 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!”

About: i have always grown up with at least one cat. they are my favorite animal! i have experience with almost everything to do with the cats. giving them medicine, meals, treats, cleaning litter boxes, playing. i know their behaviors very well and when they need space or they feel overwhelmed. i understand that they are usually less playful than dogs and to be more cautious and gentle with them!
“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: I’ve spent much of my life caring for cats and genuinely love earning their trust. I’ve had cats of my own, from raising a kitten to caring for an adult cat, and I’ve looked after cats of all ages, from playful kittens to senior cats with extra needs. Over the years I’ve cared for as many as four cats at once and completed cat sits lasting up to eight weeks, so I’m comfortable settling into each cat’s routine. Whether your cat is social and wants constant company, shy and prefers their space, or even enjoys leash walks (yes, I’ve happily walked a cat before!), I’m happy to meet them where they are. I have experience with indoor-only and indoor/outdoor cats, and I know how important consistency is for their comfort. I’ll make sure litter boxes stay clean, meals are on schedule, medications and special instructions are followed carefully, and you’ll receive thoughtful updates while you’re away. While I’m new to Rover, I’m not new to caring for cats. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind while you’re away and make sure your cat feels safe, comfortable, and loved until you return.
“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.”

“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!!”
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.
“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.”
“Adam was a great pet sitter for our cat, Smokey. We will definitely try to use him for future trips. He clearly loves pets and he is an excellent communicator and we love the pictures that he sent”
About: Hello! My name is Mary. I am a lifelong pet owner and animal enthusiast. I grew up on a horse farm with dogs, cats, horses, hamsters, and the odd rogue toad, so caring for animals with love and respect is literally second nature. I'm a somatic embodiment coach by trade, so I have a unique skill set for helping animals feel relaxed and comfortable in my care. I have joyously fostered 20+ dogs and cats in their transition to forever homes, and have extensive experience with house and pet sitting. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds, from 6 pound little weasels to 80 pound gentle giants. I have a special place in my heart for seniors (and have experience caring for them.) I am comfortable and experienced with administering medication. Because I work from home online and over zoom, I can accommodate animals that need a shorter window of alone time. I'd be delighted to treat your fur family with all the love and care I would give my own. I look forward to hearing from you! I have my own online business, so my schedule is very fluid and flexible. I love walking dogs and can easily do day or evening walks and stop-bys. I have experience with staying in many different homes and I know that every animal has its own unique routines, needs and rituals that help it feel in flow. I'm very happy to work with your pet in the way they are used to.
About: i’ve always been a dog person, but i love cats! i don’t have much experience with them but through paw-mily members i have learned to look for cats body language, knowing when to keep hands off the kitty, look out for a striking paw Ect
“So glad to have Christine check in on our cat while we were away!! Christine was great at communicating timing of the drop in visits and sharing photos/vids. We knew our cat was in great hands.”
“This was the first time Sydney dropped in on my cat Mystery for me. From the start in it was a great experience. Sydney has great energy, good communication and showed genuine care for my cat Mystery. I recieved a detailed update with pictures. I will definitely be booking her again!”
About: Rover is an amazing thing in my family's life. Our whole household REALLY LOVES DOGS. We love all the different dog personalities we get to know. We genuinely appreciate pet families trusting us to care for their pet(s). Boarding is our most used and preferred service of the Tree House. We have many regular clients who use our Boarding and Doggy Day Care services. We love all sizes of dogs and the full range of dog personalities. We host up to 3 guest dogs at a time and are very conscientious of the dogs we host and how they will interact. Therefore, if your dog does not do well with other dogs, our house may not be a great fit for your pet. We get requests for exclusive bookings, and where we can accommodate these requests, we will. ****price for exclusive bookings is 2X our service rate, boarding or day care slot**** We require all new clients to do a meet-&-greet, so we can only accommodate last-minute new clients if we get a solid referral from another sitter, you are a friend of the family, or one of our regular clients referred you. We have found our guests do much better when they have been here and sniffed about before their stay. Your dog(s) will be loved and treated with the utmost respect by every member of our household and any other guests. Our home is very relaxed, and our backyard is a dog paradise with lots of shade and different areas for dogs to claim their own space. We always have a crew of dogs, so your dog will have plenty of stimulation and exercise while at our home. We work from home and are here nearly all the time. Pickup and drop-off times are flexible—the key is communication and consideration—fees may apply where either is lacking. The yard has plenty of room for guests to stretch it out and find their own space. We are happy to accommodate crating, and problem children will have some sort of time out until they can ground and be good guests. We are not disciplinarians but are pretty good at setting boundaries thru timeouts and rewards.
“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!”
“Avery was great! Our cats just loved her as shown in the photos we received. She was on time, followed instructions, kept everything clean, and was a great communicator. We felt safe leaving our pets in her hand. We highly recommend Avery and will definitely book her again.”

“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.”
“I had a great experience with Korin! I left Maru with her for a few hours while we went out for a late dinner. Our dinner ran a little longer than expected, but she was so understanding and patient. We really appreciated their flexibility and kindness. Would definitely book with them again! ❤️”
“Alison was really nice, and my dog was drawn to her right away at our meet and greet. She was really understanding with me as a first time app user, and made me feel safe about leaving my dog with a stranger for the first time. She handled my dogs separation anxiety really well and sent me updates so I wouldn't worry. I would definitely book again.”
“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”
About: I take pride in creating a calm, safe, and welcoming environment for both pets and the homes I care for. My approach is attentive and thoughtful—I pay close attention to routines, preferences, and small details that help animals feel secure and comfortable. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering medications, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet with patience, empathy, and genuine care. Experience-wise I have been a cat owner since I was a small child, have experience fostering litters of kittens, and currently have 2 adult Balinese of my I care for since they were 4 months old. I have experience caring for geckos (feeding live crickets!), hamsters, and bird care. I am also mom to doodle half-siblings, caring for them since they were puppies. I’m respectful of the homes I’m trusted with. I practice the "leave things better than you found them" mantra by keeping spaces clean and organized, following instructions accurately, and communicating regularly as scheduled so owners feel confident and worry-free while they’re away. Reliability and consistency are important to me. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your home and pets in someone else’s hands. Above all, I truly enjoy building connections—with both pets and their people—and making sure everything runs smoothly so you can have peace of mind. Contact me to discuss your care needs! I'm currently working part-time which leaves me flexible to schedule care for your pets and home. I am also available to handle small projects or home tasks, run errands, and organize spaces as needed. Please ask me and we will discuss your needs. I am happy to schedule regular dog walks, play dates or overnight care in your home for your dogs. I am also available to schedule cat check-ins/playtime. My goal is for you to return to a home and/or pet better/happier than you left it.
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.
“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!”
“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!”
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.
“Shannon was a great communicator from the start and helped me out super last-minute when I was in a pinch with needing care for my pup. She was great with Lucy, shared photos and let me know all they had been up to. Lucy was happy when I picked her up and slept really great that night. Shannon was professional, super attentive, and her schedule flexibility is so appreciated!! I’m glad I found her and Rocky and look forward to Lucy getting to spend more time with them!”
“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!! ”
About: I grew up with 6 pit bulls, taking sun baths with them in my backyard. I’ve volunteered in SF SPCA and donate monthly. My best friend aka Herita is a rescue, she’s been with me for over 3 years now. I believe animals have taught me how to love unconditionally and responsibly. Calm, trust and safety are my top priorities. I hope you give me the chance to connect with you and your fur baby/ babies. I work from home. I normally take Hera on a walk every morning for about 30 mins. Come back and hit the gym. After that I’m free. I can always head over in the am, afternoon or evenings. I have a fenced yard, Herita is spayed and loves to play with other dogs. Her bff is a 3 y/o Doberman. Which I take care of a couple of times a week (take her out on walks and feed her)
“Meera took great care of my mini poodle puppy. She took him for a walk and paid special attention to his needs as a puppy who is too rambunctious at times. Meera was great to interact with because she is kind and thoughtful. I recommend her highly!”
“Lisa and Cameron were absolutely wonderful with Poe! We needed someone to watch him for a few hours over three consecutive days while we had construction happening at our house and my husband and I had unusual work schedules, and they were incredibly flexible and accommodating throughout the whole thing. Poe clearly had the best time staying with them: playing in their backyard, going on walks, and spending time with their family and kids. We have a baby on the way, so it was especially nice knowing he was getting some positive time around younger kids, and Lisa and Cameron said he did great with them. They also sent us adorable photos and videos every day, which we loved. Poe came home happy, tired, and ready for a very good sleep after getting so much attention and exercise! This was our first time having Lisa and Cameron watch Poe, but we would absolutely book with them again. They are such warm, friendly people and clearly great with dogs. We felt completely comfortable leaving Poe with them and highly recommend them!”
“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!”
“It was last minute searching for a dog sitter. Dacyl responded my request pretty quickly and invited my dogs to meet her dog before I decided. She was very sweet with Jet and Luna and sent me several photos and messages. They had a great time with her. Thank you, Dacyl!”
“I cannot recommend Andre highly enough! From the meet and greet, it was clear he was a true dog lover and incredibly professional. He took wonderful care of our dog Charlie, and provided updates with photos. It was such a relief he was in such good hands. We will absolutely be booking again and highly recommend him!”

“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!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and personalities for over three years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. I have experience following feeding schedules, giving basic care, and providing extra attention to puppies and senior dogs. I always treat pets as if they were my own. I’m currently a nursing student, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m available during weekdays and weekends and can adjust my routine to fit your pet’s needs. I enjoy spending quality time with pets, making sure they get attention, playtime, and consistent care throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, routines, and any special needs. I keep a clean, calm environment and make sure pets are always supervised and secure. As a nursing student, I’m attentive, responsible, and comfortable monitoring behavior changes and overall well-being. I treat every pet with patience, respect, and love.
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I've cared for pets of all sizes: from large malamutes and energetic huskies to cats, rabbits, fish, and even turtles. I have experience with a wide variety of personalities, temperaments, and care needs, and I take pride in following your care instructions exactly as requested. If your pet requires a specialized diet, medication, extra patience, or simply their favorite play routine, I'll make sure they receive the attentive care they deserve. During visits, I'll provide plenty of attention and playtime, keep food and water fresh, clean litter boxes, tidy up any messes, and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I work from home most days of the week and have a flexible schedule that allows me to take breaks throughout the day to make time for your pet. My goal is to keep your pet's routine as normal as possible and make them safe and reduce stress while you're away. I'll let them take the lead as we get to know each other.
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 have experience with cats who are particularly anxious, I am able to provide much more than just feeding and regular care tasks. I have experience with emotional regulation for anxious cats and dogs , and I’m able to provide extra attention through extended stays, diverse kinds of play, and overnight care. I also have prior experience with elderly dogs who need special accommodation. I work only 2 days a week, and have a very open flexible schedule at the moment. I can provide a wide range of services, my most notable experience is working with anxious pets who need extra attention and love! For dogs, I prefer to take dogs on multiple walks (ideally 3 walks per day) to encourage lots of activity, I can encourage socializing if needed. For cats, I love to drop in and play, give affection or just coexist as needed!
“I would highly recommend Isadora. She was able to gain the trust and love of my two Goldendoodles, Kona (80 pounds) and Bear (50 pounds). Super communicative, thoughtful, and consistent. Highly recommend!!”
“Haylee is so good with animals! She took the time to let my nervous dogs warm up to her before attempting to leash and walk them. She is very in tune with animal energy which is what I need for my two!! Will definitely book again.”
“Elyse was amazing! Our normal dog walker bailed on us last minute, so we needed someone fast. Elyse went above and beyond making sure our dogs were comfortable with her and had great communication with us. She is super sweet and our pitties love her!!!”

“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!”
“Nicola and Michael were wonderful with Jupiter. He has special needs since birth and gets tired easily. Jupiter came home happy and not over tired. Also, I received photos everyday, which was great. I am so appreciative..”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Rob was amazing with our fur baby Uni!!! He was very easy to communicate with, gave updates with pictures, and is trustworthy and friendly. Our Uni had an amazing time!! I would definitely recommend Rob and look forward to using him again in the future!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Natasha took good care of Kona and gave us a detailed update multiple times with photos for the night we had Kona over at hers. She understood his personality and was able to help him get familiar with his new environment quick and be a snuggle buddy that he is. Sage was also friendly and got along with him as we saw them going on walks together on the photos. Loved it for Kona that he got to experience Sage and his mama! Kona will for sure be back. Thanks Natasha!”
“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 been walking dogs and sitting for cats and dogs for over 10 years. Mostly for family friends and neighbors. I love dogs and have lived with a big husky for also over 10 years. I grew up with cats aswell. I have experience walking big dogs that pull and i have even been able to train some dogs. I now live in a house with a big fenced backyard so i would love to host dogs. I work from home aswell so i am always around to take care of them. i work full time from home as an artist. I go on walks everyday and i am always able to give your pet attention! I have a car aswell so transportation is easy. I spend a lot of time in my backyard and would love to play with more animals. It is completely fenced in. I have a fenced yard with lots of space to run. Im already very active and love to go on walks and hikes. I work at home so everyday i am here except for grocery shopping and errands!
“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 :)”
“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.”
“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!”
“Meera was great to work with, very responsive and flexible and sent lots of photos. Took Luna for nice long hikes and was thoughtful enough to ask about allergies before giving any new treats. Would book again!”
About: Hiya, I'm Peter! I've cared for dogs for as long as I can remember, and have since provided countless hours of pet-care of friends, family, friends of the family, and families of friends! I have years of experience doing walks, play, feeding, bathing, clean-up and more. I have experience with excitable breeds like a neighbor's golden doodle to my family's mellowed-out portugese water doggies, along with senior care. I see animal care as a privilege. Our pets are no less than little bundles of feelings and life that we are given the opportunity to cherish. I have been told on multiple occasions that I am able to calm animals unusually quickly, and I feel that I am attuned to the emotions of animals I care for. I would love to opportunity to provide care to your pet! I work from home in a low-speed position, so I have a flexible schedule for your pets' needs. Normally, I would do a morning and afternoon walk, with potty breaks peppered whenever they need. I can also step away from my work at a moment's notice if anything arises, from entertaining a bored doggie to foiling attempted counter surfing! I have a paved yard for sunbathing and potty breaks, the door to which I work right next to. I live near Lake Merritt, the Morcom Rose Garden, and a dog park, so I can provide walks of all lengths. My home is very cozy and has multiple spaces where an animal can detox from any overstimulation. I can provide a dog crate, scheduled meals, supervision, and play.
“5 stars all the way! Jeff and his family are wonderful! Our pup is shy and skittish of new people but Jeff and family quickly put her at ease. Even better, I got loads of picture updates. My pup was loved and cared for and had a great stay! My pup will definitely be back!”
