“Thanks Danielle for looking after Joe over the holidays! We felt very happy knowing Joe was safe and being cared for as if at home. Love the photos 😊 Will definitely use again”
“Latricia kept my 2 dogs for 4 days. She checked in with me regularly and sent pictures throughout the day. My dogs were well taken care of and I could tell that they enjoyed themselves. They didn't want to leave when it was time to go. I will definitely be leaving my boys with Latricia again.”
“Mary was amazing per usual! She always gives my pup so much attention and keeps me very updated which I appreciate more than she knows. He always seems very happy and comfortable with her!”
“Matthew and Van Joseph took amazing care of our two pups. We got lots of lovely updates - going on walks, playing and napping, I could see they were well taken care of.”
“Alex was a last minute God-send for me and my pup, Maxwell. She was super flexible as I managed flight and life delays. Her home is located in a great place for doggie to run and play - right across the street from a beautiful park! And it was clear that both her and her kiddos are big time animal lovers. Her partner even pitched in to help re-stich his bed that was falling apart when I dropped him off. Above and beyond! I would definitely recommend Alex and her family to offer consistent, loving and fun care for your pets.”
“Thanks so much Mariola, I really appreciate you watching Chica! I was very comforted by the time you took to ask nuanced questions about Chica’s needs and behavior. Normally I’m a little stressed when Chica is with a sitter, with Mariola I was able to relax knowing she was in good hands. Thank you!! ??”
“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.”
“Sherry is an AMAZING dog sitter!! I trusted her to care for my sweet but nervous 50lb girl, Ellie, and I could not have asked for a better sitter. Sherry was so thorough, she sent plenty of updates throughout and put me at ease! She was super responsive to my dog’s needs, and I could see Ellie just melting and falling in love with her through the updates. She’s got a lovely, clean and safe apartment and she is obviously someone who knows dogs well. I would trust Sherry with dog sitting ANY day! Highly recommend.”
“We love Josephine! My pup immediately recognized her home and was so excited to go inside which is always a great sign. Josephine is a great communicator and sent pictures and updates throughout Benny’s stay. Her pup Bruce is an added adorable bonus!”
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.
“Madeleine took great care of our dog Joni while we were out of town. My dog and I met her for a meet and greet beforehand, which is helpful for our dog - she likes people that she’s met a few times. Madeleine was easy to coordinate with and sent us daily updates with pictures. We’ll definitely book dog sitting services with Madeleine again.”
“Dylan and his wife took amazing care of my sweet dog, Lulu. They went way, way above and beyond when I was in a bind and she needed extra care. They were thoughtful, responsive, and so kind. I recommend them to everyone I know that needs dog care!!!”
“Robert and Brian are great! They really take the time to understand your individual dog's needs before taking care of them. My dog Koda felt very comfortable around them and loved all of the walks/adventures he went on with them. Robert's communication with me throughout the stay was really helpful, especially when he had questions or unforeseen circumstances arose. I also loved all the videos and pictures they sent me while Koda stayed with them!”
“Albina took great care of our sensitive dog Frida and shared nice updates with her traveling humans. Thanks for giving her a chance to explore new corners of the neighborhood.”
“Very kind and caring daughter and mother! They really took the time to let my nervous dog adjust during the meet and greet, listened carefully and asked questions. I also appreciate that they care about safety. My dog is quite nervous, but by the second day of boarding she was getting comfortable and showing more of her bouncy personality. They were communicative around feeding instructions and coordinating the meet and greet, drop off, and pick up. I would recommend Thais and Marlene! Thank you for your help taking care of Amber!”
“Hope is great with nervous dogs and makes them feel comfortable and loved. We booked her last minute for a week long trip caused by a family emergency, and it was so nice to not have to worry about our pup. Hope is very communicative and sends lots of pics and videos. Great sitter!”
“Nasreddine was wonderful with Luna! She made pickup and dropoff super easy, stayed communicative throughout, and sent photos of Luna looking happy and relaxed. I felt totally at ease knowing Luna was in great hands and would happily book with her again.”
“It was our first time trying Rover and Keara was AMAZING. She is kind, warm, and communicative - all the things you’d want when you are trusting your furry pet with someone. She was highly responsive and sent plenty of videos and pictures of my dog each day, throughout the day. She cuddled him, played with him, took him out with her in the backpack I provided for dinner with her and just kept him great company. I couldn’t have had a better experience and would highly recommend the wonderful Keara!”

“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!”
“Alisson was amazing with my cat, Taylor! She was incredibly attentive to Taylor's needs and made sure she was well cared for while I was away. She sent plenty of photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind, and it was clear Taylor received lots of pets, love, and treats. I truly couldn't have asked for a better person to trust with my cat. I highly recommend Alisson to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!”
“Jessica went above and beyond in caring for my rambunctious cat while I was out of town. My cat doesn’t always like people but he loved her right away and Jessica did such a wonderful job sending photos and updates. When I came home I could tell that my baby was well taken care of. I cannot recommend Jessica enough!”
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of my fur baby! I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing he was in get care. I loved getting pictures and a report while away. Thank you, Shirley!!!”
“Jasmine did a great job dropping in on my cat, Chili for 5 nights. She was very communicative and attentive to my cat, giving playtime, feeding, and taking care of the litterbox. I will happily request her for future drop ins!”
“Emilia was so sweet with our two kitties . She sent me pictures and was very communicative. Clearly a cat lover :) and she watered our plants and took care of some ant issues we had while away. Thank you for taking such good care of our cats!”
“Marian was wonderful with our two cats while we were on a week long trip to Italy. She was very communicative despite the time zone difference and shared plenty of photos throughout our trip :). We felt completely confident that our cats were in great hands, and we would absolutely book with her again. Thanks so much Marian!”
“Shelly was awesome! My cat has separation anxiety and when we returned home from our trip he was mellow and happy. I could tell he received some quality attention while we were away.”
“Went above and beyond taking care of my two cats! I felt so comfortable (and happy!) with the care she gave them between lots of extra love, fixing the litter robot (thanks again! lol), and great reports that let me know everything going on with them. Will definitely have her help watch them again for me!”
“Patrick was professional, warm, and genuinely enjoyed his time with my cat Cucuzza. He made sure he stuck around to play with her, checked her litter, food, water, and even left a kind, heartfelt note on the table thanking ME! If you ever need a cat or dog sitter in the area, this man is the gold standard.”
About: *Lady K's Doggie Lounge* I'm a fulltime doggie daycare and boarding provider. *I never leave pups unattended* Animals have always been a part of my family and lifestyle. In addition to dogs, cats, and birds, I've been a parent to rabbits, hamsters, livestock and reptiles. I'm also a mother of two over the age of 35. I'm the go-to person for the care of their dogs, as well for other members of my family's pets when they are in town. I have a 13 year old Corgi/Jack Russell mix, (Sir Prince) that loves meeting new friends. So while in my care, your baby will have my constant attention, and personalized detailed care, as if he or she were my own. I also believe in providing my clients a peace of mind while away from their bundles of joy. I know how stressful it can sometimes be. You are welcome to bring a Kennel for your furbaby if they are use to using one. In my experience, they are helpful during feeding times and when personal space is needed. Sometimes they provide a bit more comfort to them when in an unfamiliar place. But for the most part, all pups have the freedom to roam as they wish. My specialty is in-house pet care, but taking the babies for walks is always possible. I provide homestyle daycare and boarding 24/7. Pups will never be left unattended. Lady K's Doggie Lounge and my clients are top priority for me. I offer a calm, free to roam environment. Kennels are only used for feedings and sleeping if needed. I can and will maintain your pets current schedule/ routine if necessary.
“Cassandra took great, attentive care of my cats while we were gone, getting to know their individual personalities and what they liked in a short period of time. Highly recommend!”
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.
About: I’ve always had animals around me, they have been a large part of my life since childhood. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds, cats (both furry and hairless) of all ages, and the occasional lizard. I also have some experience working in a vet. I also have experience administering medicine to animals, bottle feeding kittens, taking notes/tracking behaviors or symptoms. I’d love to help care for your pet! I ok work full time (8-5) with a hybrid schedule. During my remote days I can check on your pet as often as is needed. I try to keep your pets routine as stable as possible whether it is at your home or mine. I have a fenced yard at my house
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! 😻

“Another great stay with Sophia! My dog can sometimes be too nervous to eat when she's away from home even ate her dinner at Sophia's place - a good sign that she's relaxed.”
“Latricia was very sweet with our dog! It's clear that she has a lot of experience with dogs. She sent multiple photos and updates during the day. She also gave us helpful information about his behavior afterwards.”
“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.”
“Matthew and Van Joseph were fantastic dog sitters! They not only took great care of my dog, but also gave me a peace of mind with frequent updates and clear communication. My dog can be nervous in new environments, but felt right at home with Matthew and VJ! 10/10 highly recommend!”
“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 had a great first daycare with Nikolai! He is very responsive and easy to coordinate with. It was nice to know Jax was having a fun day with other dogs and nice people. Excited to go back again!!”
“Ruthy was great with how she handled the dogs - mine is small compared to Milo - & I really appreciated her flexibility. Her decision to keep her prices low means that I can afford to have Gabby in day care while I'm working to support myself. I'm really grateful she's doing this :-]”
“Sarah was amazing! Very kind and communicative. My 10 year old Australian Shepherd was comfortable and at ease with her and in her home. Very glad to have booked with her!”
“We always feel so comfortable and relieved when Snowy is in Anchisa's care. Ancihisa sends wonderful photographs and updates, and provides a warm and safe environment for Snowy.”
“Very impressed with Hong! We had a last-minute change of plans and needed a sitter for our girl Spoon, and Hong was absolutely amazing. She cared for Spoon like she was her own, which gave us so much peace of mind. She’s incredibly thorough and keeps us updated throughout the day—even down to every bowel movement—which we really appreciated. We’re so grateful to have found her and will definitely keep booking with her. Highly recommend! 🤍”
About: I have raised a Chi-Weenie from when she was a puppy all the way to her senior years, adopted a Chi-Pit, and my recent love was a Staffy-Lab (Luna, in my profile picture). I have experience with a range of ages and breeds, and I’ll love your pets as my own. I work from home so I am available for walks, feeding, and lots of playtime! My schedule is flexible which means lots of love and pets are available to your fur baby. I always make sure your dog is securely fitted in their harness and/or leash before leaving for walks. I also double check to make sure everything is locked up before leaving.
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!
“Rachel was a great dog sitter for our active and energetic pittie mix. She was super flexible, communicative and just overall a really awesome person who you could tell really loves animals/dogs. 10/10 would recommend Rachel and will definitely be booking with her for future services.”
“I felt a little unsure of dropping my dog off to someone I didn't know but started to feel more comfortable the more I spoke with Hye. Then Rudy, my pup, and I met Hye in person and we both were put very much at ease. Hye and Rudy hit it off immediately and I was fine leaving him with her. Hye updated us with photos and really "loved" Rudy and my wife and I were able to relax and enjoy our evening. I would totally recommend Hye and her husband for the care of their family member.”

“Matthew was available for a last minute dog walk. He was very communicative, on time, and handled our anxious pup well. We will definitely use him in the future. Would recommend!”
About: I’ve always loved caring for pets and have hands-on experience with both dogs and cats. I've been a life-long dog lover and I currently have a cat of my own that fits my current lifestyle. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, including puppies, senior dogs, and shy or anxious animals. I’m patient, attentive, and flexible, making sure each pet gets the care, attention, and routine they need. I can provide walks, playtime, feeding, and even gentle training reinforcement if needed. My goal is to make pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I'm currently working a remote job and have a very flexible schedule. I can be available for house check-ins or walks at basically any time of day, every day of the week. I follow each pet’s routine carefully, providing feeding, playtime, walks, litter box maintenance, and any medications as needed. I treat each home with respect, keeping it clean and organized, while making sure pets feel safe and happy in their familiar surroundings.
About: I provide calm, attentive care with a focus on routine and safety. I understand that every dog is different, and I aim to keep their environment steady and comfortable while you’re away. I enjoy taking dogs on regular walks and occasional hikes, giving them time to explore while keeping things structured and safe. I adjust to each dog’s energy level, whether they prefer an active outing or a more relaxed pace. I’m organized, communicative, and reliable, and I take pride in making pet parents feel comfortable and informed. You can expect clear updates, thoughtful communication, and plenty of photos so you can feel at ease while your dog is in my care.
“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!”
“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 grew up with dogs and cats and have been pet sitting for friends and family in Minnesota for years. Just relocated to the Bay Area and making it official on Rover. For the first time in my life, I don’t have a pet of my own. I’d love to take care of and spend that pet love on yours. I work remotely and run my own business, so my schedule is incredibly flexible. I can work around whatever your pet needs throughout the day. I’ve owned a reactive, anxiously attached dog, so I’m comfortable with the ones that need a little extra patience. Senior dogs, high-anxiety pups, all sizes, I’ve got it covered. I work remotely and my schedule is flexible. If your pet needs full-time company, I can take my calls and work from where they are. I only book when I’m fully available, so if I’m on the calendar, I’m present. I come to your pet so they stay in their own home, in their own routine, with their own familiar space. You’ll get updates and photos so you always know how things are going.

About: I've lived with pets since I could remember. I've cared for small breeds and large breeds including Chihuahuas, Pit bulls and Saint Bernards. I have experience with elderly dogs. I work full time Monday through Thursday in the morning and am available after 3pm. I am available all day on Fridays and Saturdays. On Sundays my availability alternates each week between morning and night. I have a fenced in backyard and plenty of space in my house for animals to play. I like to learn every pet's preferences to make the best out of their experience.
About: I love animals and have been around fur pets since I was a child. I have experience with big dogs, puppies, senior dogs, and kittens. My previous neighbor used to foster kittens while I dog sat for my friends, family, landlords, neighbors, etc. Dogs and cats are my therapy and love some cuddles and jogs. I have my own 7 month old female puppy who absolutely loves all dogs. She’s shy towards people but dogs are her favorite. I have a hybrid schedule with flexibility during the week and weekends. I’m flexible and open to sitting, walking, runs, or just check-in’s. I’m typically busiest on Tuesdays and likely only available in the late afternoon. We love communication so I’m always happy to send updates and have experience with dogs who need extra attention and/or healing pets. For my puppies/kittens they’re learning so a little patience and attention to fostering their schedule/training is important. These animals are like my children so showing them the same love and care is important to me.
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.
“Simply put Alexandria is awesome! She was very prompt in replying to my initial inquiry for walks. She was prompt and very personable for “our meet and greet” to go over my pups routine. She also”
About: Hi! My name is Ciara and I’m happy to have you look at my profile! I have five years of experience with my three dogs. I help groom, make sure my dogs are energized and have fun with them on walks. I have experiences volunteering at a poodle shelter called NorCal Poodles for three years where i medicated, walked and comforted the fostered poodles who have been left behind or given up by the owners. I’ve medicated, helped clean and feed the dogs a well. I’m currently a part-time student (will be ending my semester in May) and a soon part-timer worker. I have flexible time to schedule in walks and make your dog is given attention as well. I want to make sure your dog is comfortable and good with being on leash for walks. I am comfortable with walking dogs of up to 40 lbs and I work well with calm or energetic dogs! I have five years of experience with taking care of my three dogs and making sure they are given attention and help to their needs.
About: I will care and love for your dog just as much as you do. I've done occasional dog sitting over the last couple of years, and I always have such a great time with the dogs that I care for. I'm often called a dog whisperer because most dogs just gravitate towards me. I am unable to have a dog of my own at the moment so having the opportunity to care for yours would be amazing. I love the pureness, and sincerity of a dog's character. I understand that your pet is family, and I will always treat them as such, their care is of the utmost importance to me.

“Ollie loves his walks with Nicole! Nicole has been walking Ollie on a regular basis for the past few weeks, and we can't say enough good things about her! She's very communicative and reliable. We would highly recommend Nicole to any dog parents!”
“Mary did an amazing job. I have a pet cam and saw how happy they were to see her. They rarely get off the couch for me. She sent photos every walk and they looked great.”
“Laurel was awesome. She was a real life saver! And wonderful with Indiana. He had a great time and she was very attentive to him. She was also great at asking about me for any information that I hadn’t provided. This made me incredibly comfortable with him inher hands I knew that she was be cautious but she was also attentive and invested in him having fun while I was gone!”
“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.”

“Alex was a last minute God-send for me and my pup, Maxwell. She was super flexible as I managed flight and life delays. Her home is located in a great place for doggie to run and play - right across the street from a beautiful park! And it was clear that both her and her kiddos are big time animal lovers. Her partner even pitched in to help re-stich his bed that was falling apart when I dropped him off. Above and beyond! I would definitely recommend Alex and her family to offer consistent, loving and fun care for your pets.”
“Robert and Brian are great! They really take the time to understand your individual dog's needs before taking care of them. My dog Koda felt very comfortable around them and loved all of the walks/adventures he went on with them. Robert's communication with me throughout the stay was really helpful, especially when he had questions or unforeseen circumstances arose. I also loved all the videos and pictures they sent me while Koda stayed with them!”
“Nasreddine was wonderful with Luna! She made pickup and dropoff super easy, stayed communicative throughout, and sent photos of Luna looking happy and relaxed. I felt totally at ease knowing Luna was in great hands and would happily book with her again.”
“Leonard truly came through for us on a last-minute trip out of town. A devoted dog person through and through, he kept us updated with photos and was incredibly communicative. His care and attention made him our favorite dogsitter to date. We’ll definitely be booking with him again and again!”
“As always, Rob took great care of Katniss and sent updates throughout the week. She was clearly happy and relaxed. It is such a gift to be able to travel without worrying about pet care.”
“Alexis and Damien have been great with Margo, sent a lot of photos and updates and were very flexible with pickup and drop off and understanding of our delay. Couldn’t have had a better experience! Thank you so much and hope you’ll have Margo over again!”
“Stephanie was so great with our (very) anxious senior dog. Lots of enrichment activities and walks, and very patient, with excellent communication and a relaxed, knowledgeable vibe.”
“Leaving our pup Koda with Jeff and Beth always feels good. It’s our second time boarding with them and Koda seems to get so loved up and cared for by them and their sweet kids. We LOVE all of their updates and photos, they’re the best! And we were super grateful they were flexible to extend Koda’s stay one extra night. All in all such a good experience and I’m sure Koda is looking forward to going back! Thanks Jeff and Beth!”
“Meghan and Jenny were the absolute best! They watched our Dog Squid for nearly 3 weeks while we were in Europe and we got the cutest updates every single day. I honestly think Squid was sad to leave them to come back home. He had so much fun and was so loved. We absolutely will use them again and cannot begin to describe how comforting it is to know your pet is in a loving home while you are traveling.”
“Angela and her partner were amazing with my puppy Clementine!! She was very quick with responses throughout and sent great updates. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for great care while away.”
“Inkoo was a wonderful host for Tino, keeping him happy with lots of long walks, naps in the sun, and snuggles even on the bed. I loved her daily updates with pictures of him clearly relaxed and enjoying himself. Top notch care! I appreciate that she took my request with fairly short notice and was able to do a meet and greet the next day! We will definitely be reaching out to her again for future boarding needs.”
“We felt so comfortable leaving our pup Henna with Maria and Kevan’s family! They did a great job keeping us updated and Henna seemed to have a very fun time there. Thank you so much for taking such good care of her!”
“Ben and his family took excellent care of Jackson. They were great communicators, sent lots of sweet pics and integrated him into the family. I think Jackson was a little bummed to have to come home. I will definitely use again.”
“I had a fantastic experience with Sarah looking after my dog, Bash. From the start, it was clear that she was committed to keeping him physically engaged and safe. I really appreciated that she prioritized getting him out for plenty of long, vigorous walks. It was a huge relief to travel knowing that Bash was in capable hands, getting the exercise he needs to stay happy and tired. Beyond the activity, she kept me updated with check-ins and amazing photos (seriously I might frame one of them), which gave me complete peace of mind. I would highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a responsible, communicative, and active pet sitter. Both Bash and I are extremely satisfied customers!”
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!
“Kristen and Ryan were incredibly warm and accommodating when first meeting my small and nervous doggie. They showed their home and clearly demonstrated a level of care and experience that gave me a lot of comfort and would definitely rebook. They were also attentive of how our dogs interacted and made sure they experienced little to no distress. Highly recommend their services 🩷”
“We were so thankful for Ms. Shatese for accepting our last minute need after two sitters canceled last minute. She is a beautiful spirit who consistently kept us updated based on a schedule she had originally provided which allowed us to be at true ease while away from our pup. Her little one, Prince, is the most handsome ever. Was very grateful for all updates and adjustments”
