“Roger loved staying with Kelly! He came home so happy, well-fed, and clean!! Kelly has a true love for animals and it shows. She provided us with updates, photos, and videos and they were a treat! Highly recommend :)”
“Our girls had a great time with Chad and his family. We will definitely be reaching out again in the future. Thanks so much for taking such good care of our babies!”
“Shannon was great at taking care of Roo during my trip. She was responsive, flexible with pick-up and drop-off times—which was helpful after some last-minute work meetings—sent adorable photos and videos, and made sure everything was okay. Roo had a wonderful time in her beautiful backyard during his stay.”
“Madeleine was so fantastic! This was the first time we left our dog with anyone, and I was so happy everything went smoothly. Our dog warmed up to Madeleine immediately and she was very accommodating to our needs and concerns. Thank you so much for making our pup feel safe and comfortable!”
“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.”
“Lee took such good care of Daniel on his first overnight with other pups in the house! I wasn’t sure how it was going to go, since Daniel is pretty shy, but Lee was very reassuring and sent lots of updates. I’ll definitely book with her again!”
“Maria and Kevan are wonderful!! They made our dog feel at home and I love all the photo updates I get from them. They’re very sweet and kind and I would definitely recommend them to any pup.”
“Marlene was wonderful! She was very responsive, kind, and reliable. We met before, so she could be introduced to and ask questions about Birdy. She has a great home environment, and I definitely felt like my pup was in great hands. I would be more than happy to work with Marlene again (as would Birdy!)”
“Danielle and Joel were great with our pup, Izzi. They took plenty of pictures, made sure he exercised daily and gave him plenty of love and cuddles. We would definitely recommend them and would book them again.”
“We can’t recommend Megan and Jenny enough. We booked an extended stay for our pup and they provided us with regular pictures and updates. Our dog came back happy and healthy, and we won’t hesitate to rebook 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!”
“What a wonderful experience for our dog Shadow! Bibo’s dog is awesome and got along with our dog really well. Took a minute to adjust and then they were off like siblings! Bibo was communicative and on it. Would definitely book again, and again.”
“Kennia was absolutely wonderful – she was communicative and professional, and our dog obviously had an amazing time hanging out with other pups and exploring the huge parks nearby! Highly recommended. Thank you, Kennia!”
“Iggy did a trial stay with Mary and absolutely loved her. He can be a little shy and unsure but she and Murphy Brown made him feel very comfortable. She kept us informed about how he was doing and was wonderful! We’re looking forward to having her watch Iggy again for a longer stay.”
“Christine went above and beyond to take great care of our dog! Buca had a great time and came home happy and healthy after staying with Christine. We will definitely be reaching out again for future visits.”
About: We've designed our experience a little differently than most. Rather than filling our home with multiple unfamiliar dogs, we intentionally host just one dog (or one family's dogs) at a time. We made this decision because we know separation can be hard. Our goal is to give every guest a calm, relaxing vacation while giving their humans peace of mind knowing their pup has our full attention. My husband Cameron and I have both been around animals our entire lives and have experience with puppies, seniors, bulldogs, and dogs with special needs. We also have two young kids (ages 3 & 6) who absolutely love animals and know how to be gentle and respectful around them. Whether your dog loves hiking, backyard sniff sessions, playing fetch, or simply curling up on the couch for a nap, we'll happily match their pace. We'll also send plenty of photos and updates throughout their stay because we know being away from your dog isn't always easy. We'd love to meet you both! We keep our schedule intentionally flexible so we can build our day around your dog's routine instead of expecting them to adjust to ours. Your dog's safety is our number one priority. Our backyard is fully fenced and we supervise outdoor time closely. Because we have young children, we've already built our home around safety. Medications, chemicals, and anything potentially dangerous stay locked away, and as a gardener I'm always mindful of which plants are safe and which aren't. If your dog joins us for a walk or an adventure, they'll always be on leash and right by our side. They won't be left unattended anytime, ever. We don't take guest dogs to dog parks or introduce them to unfamiliar dogs. We prefer controlled environments where we know exactly what's going on. We know leaving your dog with someone new can feel stressful. We take that responsibility seriously and will care for them like one of our own.
“Mariola provided a kind a loving home for our dogs’ first overnight with her. She also provided us with some useful insights into their behavior. She was a clear and easy communicator throughout the process.”

“Zsa Zsa took wonderful care of Oscar! She was careful to ask about what he likes and what would make him happiest during her drop in visit, and she definitely delivered! She was also helpful and professional and was flexible when and easy to communicate with when we ended up shifting the timing slightly. I’m looking forward to having her watch Oscar again, and I know he is too!”
“I highly recommend Emma for taking care of your kitty! She is wonderfully kind, thoughtful, and super detail oriented. Her communication is prompt, supportive and clear. Most importantly my shy kitty, Jasper, loves her and I could see how he trusts her very quickly. She’s got magic for the shy guys. I feel so much ease when I know she’s caring for him 😻”
“Jennifer took care of my boys for 12 days while I took care of my aunt. She gave detailed updates, sent lots of photos, and gave me such peace of mind that my boys were in good hands. Highly recommend!”
“This was our second time with Shanley, and would absolutely recommend her again. Very thorough, good communication and knows how to approach/work with our nervous kitty. She's also very helpful with other household tasks if needed. We won't hesitate to hire Shanley again in the future if availability works out!”
“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.
“Kelly is truly an angel and saved the day with last-minute boarding for my beloved senior kitty. She was so caring, attentive, and professional, and looked after him as if he were her own. Highly recommended and will definitely be a repeat client. Thank you a million times over, Kelly!”
“Cara did a great job taking care of my cat while I was away! I really appreciated her thoughtful updates about how he was doing, and she made me feel better knowing that he was under her care. She was a consistent and reliable caretaker.”
“Meli, was super responsive and flexible. We enjoyed meeting her for a quick walk through before our trip. Our cat is typically a scaredy cat and runs away from strangers, but she was curious and open to meet Meli. I think her calming presence put her at ease. We have a regular sitter but she wasn’t available and we had to scramble last minute. Meli was a great surprise. Would book again if needed.”
“My sensitive kitty, Mitta, was in great hands with Vivien while I was completely offline for a week. Mitta was immediately in love with Vivien's pets and scratches when we did our meet and greet. It felt really good to be able to trust Mitta was getting some good loving attention and care with her anxiety medication while I was away. Thank you Vivien!”
“I rebooked Marian for my cat while I was away for two weeks because she's the only one I knew my cat would be happy to see. Marian's also completely reliable and posts a summary and lots of pictures after every visit ☺️”
“Elyse took care of my two kittens for just under two weeks and did an amazing job. She was super reliable and communicative. The kittens seemed healthy, happy and relaxed when I got home, so it was obvious they were in good hands. Would definitely request for her help again in the future.”
About: I’ve always loved animals, for their big hearts and one of a kind personality traits. My family had a Rottweiler when I was a child and she always felt like the little sister I never had. My hours are flexible so I’m open to meeting your requirements to watch over your pet. I currently don’t have any pets at the moment, so having the opportunity to cuddle up & spend some time making a new furry friend would be a treat. Overall, I’m very passionate when it comes to the safety & well-being of your pets, so I look forward to providing I am currently a freelance filmmaker, so my schedule is pretty flexible! I’m available for boarding on the weekdays, Saturdays from 10am-4pm and Sundays after 3pm it's important for me to understand the type of pet I'm caring for so that i can gauge what type of activities they're into. I love being outdoors, so if your pet is active then i can take them to some of my favorite hiking trails that are near your home. If they're homebodies then I'll typically play some tug-o-war, or fetch with their favorite toys until they're tired. Then i'll feed them and chill out.
“Anais was a great sitter! I always feel more comfortable leaving my cats when I know that they are in the hands of a true animal lover, and Anais is definitely that. She was a great communicator and able to follow instructions on giving our special needs cat an inhaler dose every day. She event went above and beyond by trimming my cats’ nails! I would definitely book with her again.”
“Atusa was flexible and helpful, but most importantly my cat Nacho warmed up to her right away. It's convenient that she lives close by and I would be happy to book her again.”
“Cameron took care of my cat for 8 days, and he watered all my plants too! I returned and she was clearly happy and well cared for. Also, I got great photos everyday, some were so cute! Definitely recommend Cameron, will book again!”
“Shelly was absolutely fantastic with our sweet Juna! She sent great pictures that put us at ease - we could see how comfortable Juna was around her. Shelly even brought her a toy!! I can't recommend her enough. Thank you Shelly! We'll be booking you again for our next trip out of town!”
“Melina did such a great job drooping in and feeding my elderly cat, Momo. She was prompt with timing and sent lots of pictures and updates. I could tell that Momo really liked her 🥰 would definitely recommend Melina to anyone!!”
“Faith is amazing! I didn't know what to expect... this was my very first time using this service and I am completely sold. Thank you Faith for caring for my fur babies and my home??”

“We love how thoughtful Kelly is in her approach to taking care of pets and handling so many details to ensure that our Snowy had a wonderful time. Her set-up is top notch and we felt our Snowy was in great hands. Thank you, Kelly.”

About: I had a dog for 15 years and while we are holding out on getting a new one for a few years till we stop traveling so much, we would love to hang with yours periodically when in town! We have a fenced in yard to throw a ball in (and a six and nine year old who never tire in doing so) and love taking walks to all the local Piedmont parks with a pup. My husband is mildly allergic, so unfortunately only able to take in non shedding, hypoallergenic poodle type mixes. And of course dogs need to be kid friendly, but my kiddoes are very sweet and gentle with dogs and will give the dogs lots of pets and affection in return. My husband and I both predominately work from home so there's always someone around to love on a furry friend or take a break to get outside for a walk. I predominately work from home and I love frequent walks with a pup. We live close to many Piedmont parks which is a great place to go and visit other dogs or just explore some new grounds. I have a fenced yard and loving older gentle children who adore pets. I can crate your dog if desired to sleep, but also have kids that would be very happy to snuggle if preferred. You can trust that we will care for your pups as if they are our very own family dog for the duration of their stay.
“I feel so lucky to have found Daniela! My dog is almost 13 and he loves seeing her and is always calm and well taken care of when I pick him up. Daniela communicates clearly, sends updates and pictures, and I feel her sincere care for my pup.”
About: I'm a very responsible middle-aged woman who works from home and would be happy to care for your fur baby. Eventually I'll get a dog of my own! Our household consists of me and my partner, Rocky. We both grew up with pets, but currently don't have any. I work about 15-25 hours a week from home so I have plenty of time throughout the day for walks around the neighborhood and trips to the Alameda dog park. My partner and I are homebodies and enjoy spending time working on our house and gardening. I have a fenced in yard and several rooms of my house can be sectioned off to allow for large spaces to hang out, if the dog needs it's own space. I also have plenty of room to set up a crate. I do not have any pets. I would love to get a dog, but I travel to Vancouver 4 times a year to visit my mom in long term care and occasionally I have to travel for a week or more for work and I don't want to leave a pet for that long. My partner goes to the office Monday - Friday.
“Maya is a wonderful dog sitter & human! She took such good care of my senior dog, especially after I told her about some recent health issues he’s experiencing. She kept a close eye on him, keeping him super safe & keeping me updated throughout the day. Thank you so much Maya, for loving my baby and keeping him safe!”
“Tamara is wonderful with my pup. She’s flexible which works great with my schedule. Ruby loves going to her & her dog Finn. We’re happy to be repeat customers.”
“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.”
“Jeff and Beth were great! They helped us out by scheduling a meet and greet on short notice and subsequently took excellent care of our new pup. They communicated clearly and frequently; shared a ton of photos; and provided our pup with plenty of time outside and on the trails. We will certainly have Jeff and Beth take care of our dog again and highly recommend them.”
“Asha has been amazing with my pup, Rahi. She communicates super well and genuinely loves dogs. I get pictures and videos through the day and I’m so much at peace leaving my Rahi with her. Highly, highly recommend!!”
About: We are a husband and wife team with a combined 30 years of experience working with dogs. We have had the joy of caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, & personalities. For us, our job is simple. To make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved when you are away. Since my husband and I both work from home, our schedules are flexible. This means your dog will have constant companionship throughout the day. A typical day includes: Outdoor playtime at various parks, 3 dedicated walks, and lots of snuggles. We love sending a daily photo and updates, so you can see how much fun your furry family member is having. We live in a large 2,000 sq ft apartment with lots of room for your pet to roam. Our neighborhood is very quiet and relaxed. Lots of families and very safe.
About: Im on the hill or at the creek at least three hours a day - I work remotely so I don't have to leave anyone without companionship. Pet care IS MY LIFE..... I finally decided to share myself - It takes a village and animals should be shared and socialized. My dog is my shadow and he does well with a companion. I am a super hiker and choose trails that are off the beaten path so as not to deal with crazy dog walker crowds - I only want one dog beside my Duda.
About: Animals have always been a very important part of my life. Growing up, my mother operated a small pet rescue and animal shelter organization in Asia, and from a very young age I helped care for rescued dogs, cats, and abandoned animals alongside her. Over the years, we helped rescue and rehome thousands of animals, many of whom came from difficult or traumatic situations. caring for animals feels completely natural to me. I do not see pets as “just animals.” I genuinely believe they are family members who deserve love, patience, emotional safety, and respect. In many ways, I believe animals carry one of the purest forms of unconditional love, and sometimes they deserve even more kindness and gentleness than humans receive. I have experience caring for pets with very different personalities, medical conditions, and emotional needs, including senior pets, rescue animals, anxious dogs, and cats requiring medication and special routines. I am highly attentive to behavioral changes, feeding routines, emotional comfort, cleanliness, and creating calm environments where animals feel safe and relaxed.
“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: Hello there. I love animals and truly enjoy taking care of them and playing with them. I used to have a husky dog when I was a kid and also have 2 years of experience as a dog sitter for my landlord. I and my husband are planning to have one in near future so it will be great experience for me too. I am flexible and responsible and also will enjoy anything you will request for your pets. My schedule is flexible and usually available Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. If you need a pet sitter to stay a few nights, I can do that too. I am looking forward to seeing you and your lovely pets soon and thank you for reading my profile.
“Latricia was great! My dog can be a bit difficult with new people, but Latricia was patient and understanding. She kept me updated with pictures throughout the day, too, so I had peace of mind.”

“Zsa-zsa is phenomenal and did a great job caring for my old dog while I was out of town. She is communicative and kind and clearly has a way with the four-legged among us. She'll be our go-to-gal from here on out!”
“Adam is a wonderful pet carer and our shy rescue pup immediately warmed up to him. He has a great, calming, positive energy and is completely trustworthy. As soon as I met him, I knew Chami would be in good hands. He's very punctual, always bang on time to walk our dog and responsive with messaging and photo updates. I would 100% recommend him!”
“Jennifer was a stellar dog sitter for my girl. When no one showed at the dog park for my uber social girl, Jennifer took the extra mile literally and walked my girl around Lake Merritt. When it was time to leave, she made sure my girl was properly prepped for bed time. When I came home I found a well fed and tired out Dutchie. With Jennifer looking after my girl, it was less stress to carry. Would Def recommend her to owners of high energy dogs.”
“Shanley was wonderful with our 8 month old bernadoodle! This was our first experience with Rover with our first dog ever. She had great communication throughout the experience, was super responsive and reliable, and even shared pictures and updates from her walks. We're lucky to have Shanley nearby to help us care for our puppy when work or trips come up. Thank you!”
About: I bring 10 years of pet care experience, with a deep background in handling dogs of all sizes, personalities, and temperaments. From raising my own large Labrador and small Maltipoo to working with rescues, I am entirely comfortable navigating complex behavior. If your dog has severe anxiety, reactivity, or specific needs when interacting with humans or other dogs, you can rest assured they are in safe, knowledgeable hands. I am highly attuned to canine body language, patient with sensitive pups, and strictly follow your specific training protocols and boundaries. Every walk is tailored to keep your dog feeling safe, calm, and successful! y daily routine is completely built around a love for animals, anchored by my own dog, Luna. The absolute highlight of my day is getting outside and hiking with her, so staying active and ensuring dogs get plenty of fresh air and exercise comes completely naturally to me. I genuinely jump at any opportunity to hang out with animals, which means your pet won't just be "checked on", they will be a welcomed, seamless part of my day and given the same dedicated time, care, and affection that I give my own pup. very pet thrives in a different setting, which is why I am super flexible in adapting the environment to match your pet’s exact needs. Whether your dog requires a high-energy, active hiking route, or your cat needs a quiet, calm, and low-stimulation space to feel safe, I customize the surroundings entirely. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and routine are my top priorities, giving you complete peace of mind.
About: Nickname: Fox I am staying in Oakland till the end of July. I truly love animals of all kinds. I love them so much that I have had everything from cats and dogs to birds, rats and rabbits. I have also had fish among other exotic animals over my lifetime. I have experience with disabled pets, pets with extra medications, and pets with special needs. I am also extremely capable of taking care of multiple pets at a time. I can easily manage various species of pets at a time. They will be well cared for with me. House sitting with light chores and overnight care are not an issue with my schedule! In the case of small and medium sized dogs I'm capable of handling them on walks if they're very reactionary to people and other animals. I'm capable of walking larger dogs if they're on the calm side and won't chase animals and people. Of course every dog has they're own unique personality and I'm willing to meet with them first to see if I'm capable of handling them. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
About: Hi! I’m Atusa — a lifelong animal lover with decades of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds and personalities. I’ve been around animals my entire life and have had my share of cherished companions. From playful puppies and curious kittens to senior pets needing gentle care and medication, I’ve seen and supported it all. I genuinely enjoy long walks with dogs, quiet lap time with cats, and creating a calm, loving space so your pet feels safe, seen, and comfortable while you're away. I have experience with reactive dogs, special-needs pets, and animals who thrive with a little extra patience and understanding. Whether your pet is shy, spunky, anxious, or aging — I tune in and meet them where they are. I’m reliable, communicative, and treat your home and animals with the same care and respect I give my own. You can count on me for clean, calm, and compassionate care every time. IPet care fits naturally into my daily rhythm. I work primarily online, which means I have a flexible schedule and spend a lot of time at home. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, regular walks, and a calm, consistent presence throughout the day. Whether your animal needs structure, companionship, or just someone to hang out with, I’m available and present — not just dropping by between errands or rushing out the door. At this time, I only offer in-home visits and house sitting at my clients’ homes. I find that most pets feel happiest and most secure in their own familiar space, with their routines and surroundings intact. When I’m caring for pets in your home, I treat it with the same respect and care I would my own. I follow your instructions closely — whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medications, or favorite toys and snuggle spots. I aim to keep your pet's routine consistent and stress-free, so they feel safe, calm, and well loved while you're away.

About: I have had and cared for pets since childhood, rescuing (literally from the streets) a lovely pitbull named Olive when I lived in Philadelphia. Moved to CA in May 2026 from East Coast. I recently moved to CA to support my wife’s new job in SF. I have a fully open schedule at the moment and with a love of animals I thought that this would be a better way to learn and love my new community than digging through online job ads. I am willing to sit, play, walk, feed and care for your pets as needed. I’m an active (formerly collegiate) runner and can go as fast or slowly as your pet needs. I have reliable transportation and experience in pet first aid as I recently completed my tenure as an Emergency Manager with the American Red Cross.
“Emma was amazing! From the moment she picked up Churro, you could see that she absolutely LOVES dogs and takes her task seriously. She was on time, took time to ask all the necessary questions to build trust and had an amazing attitude towards our Churro. Churro came back exhausted and happy. She sent pictures during the walk and gave updates the entire time. 5 stars is not enough”
“Emily is so lovely! She is very patient, flexible and clearly works very well with dogs of all temperaments. One of my dogs is a bit of a special one-requires a specific approach and Emily was very easy to chat with and willing to take on a bit of a challenge. She was super friendly and sent amazing pictures of the pups. It was my first time trying Rover and I will definitely do it again, especially with Emily!”
“David and Mabel were very easy to work with, had good communication, were flexible, and did a great job with our 2 dogs! Definitely recommend them and will use them again.”
“Christine was absolutely amazing with my very shy/anxious dog. She was patient and gentle with her during the first meeting, and she was available last minute. Definitely recommend!”
“Alejandra has been awesome! She is super trustworthy, sweet and my puppy loves her to bits. Thank you for taking such good care of my old boy. I am sure we will see you again soon!”

“Robert and Brian were incredibly accommodating of me and Riley, kept me super up to date on Riley's day to day, gave her tons of attention, and were very easy to work with. They are very respectful of my needs and Riley's during the stay. Very grateful to have booked with them, I will definitely be working with them again in the future”
“This was Rocco's second stay with Jeff and family. He recognized where we were as soon as we started walking to the door and got really excited. They are so great with Rocco, give him lots of attention, take him on off-leash walks, and generally spoil him. We are already planning his next stay.”
“Alexandra was an incredible pet sitter for my almost 3-year-old mini bull terrier. Alexandra is a clear communicator, proactive, kind, responsible, attentive, and loves animals. My dog stayed with Alexandra and her two kiddos for 5 days/nights, and I was able to fully enjoy my vacation because of Alexandra's excellent communication. She kept me updated and texted me each day before I had a chance to worry about anything (after all, she was caring for my fur baby!). I felt at ease knowing that my pup was in loving and attentive hands, and I could text any time I felt the need. My dog is super friendly and also has some behavior quirks. She can get overexcited, and Alexandra had no problem following all the care instructions. She noticed my dog's comfort or discomfort and ensured she got what she needed. When I picked up my pup, she was quite content and even gave Alexandra a little lick goodbye, which told me even more about the care Alexandra and her family gave my little one. So many thanks, and I will definitely book again!!”
“Hy and Arlo were great sitters for our pup during a long vacation. It was his first time staying for a long period of time somewhere unfamiliar and Hy put us right at ease. Right off the bat, they seemed very comfortable with our pup and very confident around dogs generally, and pup took right to exploring their spacious home with a nice, fenced in backyard. Our dog is dog-reactive and they had ideas for best routes to walk him in their neighborhood. During our trip, they were able to use their intuitiveness to troubleshoot some barking at night. When we picked him up, we could tell he took a real liking to Hy while we were gone. Thanks Hy and Arlo for taking such good care of our guy while!”
“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 🩷”
“Stephanie, her husband, and her two sweet doggies made Clover and Willow feel right at home! From day one, Stephanie was very accommodating of Clover’s anxiety, giving her space and patience when she needed it the most. She took both girls on adventures (Willow was always down; Clover sometimes stayed home) and they clearly had a blast! I couldn’t recommend Stephanie enough to care for your pups. The care she provided, as well as adorable pics/vids and detailed reports, had me relaxed that my dogs were in good hands for my entire trip! Thank you so much!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Sharon is a dog owner’s dream. Charlie was so happy and comfortable, she looked liked Sharon was her owner, making my own vacation worry free. Lots of good walks and cuddling. We will be back in the future!”
“It’s the second time we’ve used Michael, and he’s been terrific. He’s super responsive and provides lots of updates. Plus, the dogs always come back happy. Thanks for everything Michael. Ivy and Jake are looking forward to coming back!”
“Rob was so great. We had a last minute no-show with another sitter one and a half hours before our vacation. I called customer service and they sent out requests. Rob accepted right away and even picked our german shepherd up. We didn't get a chance to introduce them because we were forced to head to the airport while finding arrangements, and our dog was very much on alert (via the cam) when Rob, a stranger to her, picked her up. He handled it extremely well and safely. He took her on a hike and updated us with happy pictures of her being played with and well exercised. Cant thank him enough, was truly a life saver. thank you Rob!”
“Hanna took amazing care of Chief! She helped him meet new people and ensured he got all the love and attention he asked for. Hanna is also a really good communicator. She asked good questions when his behavior seemed off, and sent timely pupdates.”
“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.”
