“My animals are always so happy and healthy after a stay with Mariola! They definitely see it as their home away from home. I'll absolutely have them stay there, pretty much any time I leave town.”
“I can't thank Danielle enough for the incredible care she provided for my puppy while I was away for my wedding and honeymoon! For two weeks, she went above and beyond to ensure my furry friend was happy and healthy. Danielle sent frequent updates, which really put my mind at ease during such a busy time. She even took the extra step to care for my puppy when she developed ear mites, administering medication and keeping her comfortable. When I returned, my puppy looked absolutely adorable in a cozy hoodie and a festive Halloween scarf! I highly recommend Danielle for anyone in need of a caring and responsible pet sitter. Her dedication and love for animals truly shine through. Thank you, Danielle, for taking such wonderful care of my puppy!”
“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.”
“Angela was wonderful dog sitting my pup for a long weekend! She was quick to respond, happy to have an initial meet and greet and sent me tons of updates during his stay. My dog was well cared for and I’d be happy to use Angela 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!”
“Patrick is a pro. He was consistently communicative, flexible, and above all caring for our dear dog. We are very happy to have met him and hope to work with him again for future dogsitting needs!”
“Hope was recommended to us by another great Rover sitter, and we are really grateful. Hope is so friendly and knowledgeable about dogs and their behavior. She made Coconut comfortable immediately. Her little dog Rocky is adorable and super friendly. Coconut loved going for walks and playing with Rocky's toys. Hope was great with sending text updates as well as photos and videos. Here's hoping Hope doesn't get too busy to have room for Coconut the next time we need her!”
“Latricia was amazing! Sent me pictures everyday to ensure my pup was safe and happy, and gave great feedback about his behavior when I picked him up. I will definitely trust her with my pup again!”
“Madeleine was again a great sitter for our very high anxiety dog. She made him feel right at home snuggled under the blankets and soaking up the sun! Always friendly, flexible, and punctual!”
“Marlene did an excellent job of communicating about MacGuyver's issues while we were away, for which we were very grateful. It was obvious Marlene loved our special needs dog very much (he's blind) and she did her best to walk him twice a day despite him not wanting to walk. (He needed the exercise to get tired and sleep). We will definitely hire Marlene again; her personality is super gentle and kind. Her apartment was impeccably clean every time I visited (3 times). THANK YOU MARLENE!”
“Monica is the best! She couldn’t have been more welcoming. My dog clearly loved Monica’s family and her dog. They went on daily walks and played in the yard at home. Just perfect. Many thanks!”
“Mary was an amazing dog sitter for Yali! We received multiple updates each day with super cute pictures. We could tell how well Mary cared for him and incorporated him into her routine, taking him on errands and walks all over the neighborhood. She was very considerate during our initial meet and greet, knowing how to introduce herself and her dog to Yali. This helped him feel comfortable and welcome in her home. She was so kind and sweet to Yali and we are looking forward to booking with her again!”
“It was our first time rover-ing with our new dog so we were a little nervous but they took great care of Francine! It’s clear that they are dog lovers and made Francine feel right at home. We got a ton of pictures and they even helped coordinate pick up with a friend of ours while we were still out of town. Highly recommend!”
“Jeff & Beth and his children are great sitters. We’re so grateful to have found them! They sent multiple pictures and messages letting me know how our dog Luna was doing throughout her stay. They made the drop off and pick up so easy which is a huge bonus! And Luna came home happy and healthy! You can tell that they really enjoy looking after dogs. They are just really nice people!”
About: I have been caring for dogs and cats since childhood and deeply love connecting with animals. I supported my last dog through her later years and have sensitivity to the needs of elder puppies. I also enjoy the energy of younger dogs and live right near San Pablo park for dogs who like to socialize. I mostly work from home with occasional in person meetings during the week. I am available for pet care throughout the week and can let dogs out to the back yard throughout the day. I live in a quiet but lively neighborhood with lots of great areas to walk and sniff. The back yard is fenced in and allows space to lounge in the sun. There are no other pets or humans currently in the house so it is very peaceful and quiet most of the time. I don't take dogs from more than one household at a time. I check in on the pets I care for regularly and track their emotional as well as physical needs, giving pets and butt scratches often!
“Cooper was very well taken care of and we think he felt part of the family. We also received thorough updates all the time during his visit. We will definitely book again as soon as we are in need! Thank you Wenxin!”
“Jiaxi and his gf Rosie were the best Rover sitters we’ve had. Super thoughtful, caring, communicative, and proactive when our dog had a medical problem. It was such a blessing to be away knowing our dog was getting so much care and attention.”

“Natalie was a great cat sitter for my 16 year old hairless cat. She was thoughtful, reliable, punctual, and followed instructions perfectly. The photos of him licking his chops or emerging from his blankets were so cute! Thank you so much Natalie! I plan to call you again.”
About: Cat Care Experience – What Sets Us Apart I have extensive experience caring for cats and have been around them my entire life. I understand that cats thrive on routine, calm energy, and respect for their boundaries, and I take a gentle, patient approach to their care. I am comfortable with all aspects of cat care, including feeding, fresh water, litter box maintenance, playtime, companionship, and administering medications when needed. I take extra care to keep litter areas clean and odor-free and always make sure your home is left tidy and respected. My daughter has also grown up around cats and loves animals deeply. She may assist me with visits under my supervision, usually after school, and enjoys providing extra affection and gentle interaction for cats who enjoy companionship. I am the primary caregiver and handle all responsibilities, communication, and care decisions. Every cat is treated as an individual, and I tailor care to their personality — whether they’re playful, shy, senior, or simply prefer quiet company. Please note: As a recipient of chemo recently, I know how very hard it is to take care of your beloved animals during treatment. If you are currently undergoing chemo, please reach out and let me know and we will reduce our rates for a weekly drop in. Just let us know you need help 🩷🎗️
“Milo and I loved having Rong as a sitter! She's warm, responsible and clearly cares about connecting with animals. We had a lovely time talking during our walk through and she sent wonderful photos of kitty while I was away. Our home was spotless and well cared for upon return. I'd love to have her back soon!”
“This was Irina's second in-home visit with Clancy (along with several recent drop-ins) and it's been wonderful to see how my big shy 14-year-old orange boy has taken to her. It gives me such peace of mind to know he's being so well cared for when I have to travel. And the fantastic photos from Irina are an added bonus!”
About: My first animal I had was a cat and I’ve loved them ever since. From watching ones have babies, to just taking care of a friends cat, I’ve always given them the love and attention they need. My sisters cat has had a lot of medical care, and I’ve always helped her administrating medicine or cleaning up the messes.
“V is fantastic! They were very patient with Teddy and provided such sweet photos with detailed updates on his mood, activity, food and litter status. They also kept his litter area clean which Teddy can be very messy If I wasn't moving away from the area I would have made them my go to sitter.”
“Wenjie did a great job taking care of Brody. Brody usually shies away from new people, but he became friends with Wenjie quickly! Wenjie treated both our dog & our home respectfully and I will definitely seek him out again when the need arises. We were kept fully informed after every visit. It made us feel like Brody was in very capable care, leaving us able to relax and not worry at all while we were away. Definitely a 5 star experience! Thanks again, Wenjie!”
“I was nervous leaving my 16 yr old with William as she hadn’t ever been boarded before and is shy and fearful with strangers and other cats. William made time for me to come and see what accommodations for her would be like. I felt at ease after that visit as he was warm, funny and very knowledgeable about cats. He genuinely loved Nyla and cared for my old Grand Dame as though she were his own. Her special diet instructions were implanted as well. She made herself at home in a special cubby with her favorite blankets. It was obvious to me at pick up that she was relaxed and had a positive experience. Thanks, William!!”
About: I began sitting and dog-walking through Rover this summer and have since earned 10 five-star reviews from pet-parents. I’ve also volunteered at an animal shelter (Lovejoy Foundation) and aquarium (Heal the Bay) and have over 10 years of experience caring for cats. I’m attentive, dependable, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and routine :) I’m a UC Berkeley junior studying psychology and philosophy. I’m most available on weekends, with more limited availability on Mondays and Fridays. I’m not available on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, or Thursdays. I’m especially happy to accommodate regular walks, drop-ins, and recurring bookings when our schedules line up. I make a point of following each pet-parent’s instructions closely and keeping pets comfortable in their normal routine. That means plenty of attention and play, walks suited to their energy level, meals and medications as instructed, and regular updates so you know how things are going.
About: I have a way with most animals I grew up around dogs mostly as a young kid so I got to watch my parents and help train many of the animals. I was around mostly dogs but I grew up around a farm helping with horses and goats and other animals so i feel like I have easier time then most getting along with other peoples dogs as well as my own I have a good amount of experience working with dogs that tend to be more on the crazy side but I'm a pretty big guy and dont mind dealing with them as long as I get a heads up on how the dog acts I'm typicaly free because I work night shifts on the weekend so just let me know when you need help with your lovable pup
About: I’ve cared for cats with all kinds of personalities, from super social to very shy and anxious cats. I’m attentive to routines, feeding schedules, playtime, and keeping litter boxes extremely clean. I genuinely love spending time with cats and making them feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. I’m a huge animal lover and take cat care very seriously. I also send frequent updates and photos so owners feel reassured while away.
“Bailey was very attentive to our requests regarding our cat Leon on a week long trip we took. He was punctual and sent us updates and pictures during each visit. Would absolutely choose them for pet care!”
“Priya is a fantastic sitter! She was always super-responsive and adaptable to my messages and instructions as my cat went through her first catsitting experience! We noticed that my cat had become more secluded over her time alone, and Priya offered an extra drop-in just to make sure she was okay! Priya is a wonderful, responsible, communicative sitter! You are in reliable hands taking her on!”
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.

“Very grateful and thankful for Hong and her family, they took amazing care of my puppy, Spoon. She sent frequent updates and even shared beautiful, professional photos throughout the day. I felt very relived that we found a dog sitter like her. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“This is our second time booking doggy day care with Danielle and her dog Nala. Danielle does a great job. She keeps our dog safe and well entertained. We appreciate her updates of messages and photos throughout the day. Looking forward to the next time.”
“My sweet puppy was warmly welcomed by Emily and her 2 daughters. Emily has a dog who got along beautifully with my puppy! When I picked up my pup she was happy to have had such good care. Emily sent me pictures of the two dogs. She communicated well with me both in person and by text. I will most definitely ask her again to watch my pup!”
“Angela was great, she dogsitted for me so last minute and got back to me so quick. She treated my dog like family and definitely will be booking her again, soon.”
“Mariola was great! She's very sweet and loves dogs. She even sent me a photo of Jojo having fun with his new friends. This was my dog's first time in day care and I felt totally secure. I highly recommend her!”
“Justin was great! He took excellent care of Dexter and made sure that my wife and I were posted throughout the day with pictures and provided a full report when we picked him up. Our little guy got along really well with Sophie and was sad to leave her at the end of the day. Due to the great experience we had, we have already booked another day with him next week.”
“We have a really shy/sensitive mini-Aussie doodle who’s nervous around new people. Anchisa and her partner Michael were so so kind to let us visit with them before booking to “test the waters”. We were so genuinely surprised at how quickly our pup settled in! We’ve already booked for a second sitting session! Thanks so much ❤️”

“Madeleine was immensely helpful in accepting our last minute early morning booking for our timid dog. She was warm and welcoming and took the time to learn our dogs needs. Looking forward to rebooking in the future - thank you!!”
“We were looking for a dog sitter of last minute and we found Aprajita. She was our lifesaver today. She sent us pictures. Her dog played with my dog. She was very nice and kind. Highly recommended.”
“Matt is awesome! From the moment I met him I felt completely comfortable and sure that my dog would be in the best hands. Comfortable dog friendly and safe home with the perfect pooch play backyard. Coexisting and caring for dogs is something that comes natural to Matt. It's who he is and in his nature. Luna is super cool. His girlfriend is super nice. Very warm animal loving home. I am so grateful to have found a top notch sitter for my beagle while I'm attending my classes. 10 out 10 stars!!!”
“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.”
“Chen Z. was amazing with my dog. He’s very easy to communicate with, very accommodating to different schedules, takes lots of beautiful pictures and videos, and sends frequent updates. Most importantly my dog was always so excited to see him. Would 100% recommend and book again.”
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.

“Natalie is a great dog walker! She has a calming influence and spent extra time to get our dog comfortable with her, before a weeklong stints of 2x day walks. She also sent us photos so we could see he missed us less by the day. Will reach out to Natalie again when we have the need!”
About: I am an undergraduate student at UC Berkeley studying Political Science. I have several years of experience cat and dog sitting for various friends and family members. Most recently, I attended to a family friend's two cats, spending quality time with them each day, feeding them, playing with them, and clearing out their litter boxes. In the past, I have also walked dogs and dog-sitted while owners were on vacation. As a pet owner myself, I enjoy spending time with cats and dogs and am extremely attentive to their needs. Additionally, I have experience following multi-step instructions regarding pet care that are suited to the owners' preferences. I have lots of free time given that my class schedule is going to be light this year. When I'm at school, I don't get to be with my family pet, so I would love to bring cats and dogs into my daily/weekly routine. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always follow the owner's routine as closely as possible. I know that consistency helps pets feel comfortable, so I make sure they receive their meals on schedule, get plenty of fresh water, regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and lots of attention and affection. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect both the pet's routine and the owner's home. I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. If pets are staying in my home, they'll have a clean, safe, and comfortable environment with plenty of supervision. I'll make sure they get exercise, enrichment, and a calm place to rest, while monitoring them closely for any changes in behavior or health. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, and loved while their family is away.
“Terence always goes above and beyond what’s expected from him! He is so quick to respond and incredibly accommodating. We will keep rebooking with him as our dog just loves him!”
About: I've been taking care of my dog ever since I was 10 and the routine slideshow presentations finally convinced my parents that I was ready to take care of a puppy. For the past 8 years I've been caring for my dog, Liberty, by bathing her, brushing her, walking her daily, refilling her food and water, giving her a treat every morning, administering her medicine, and training her in basic commands such as "sit", "stay", and "down". I've also loved dogs my whole life (I'm allergic to cats) and have bonded with many over the years. I'm looking to make another dog as happy as I hope my dog is when we leave for vacation and get her a sitter; I'm excited to meet both of you! I'm currently attending UC Berkeley and will be home for the summer so I would be able to drop by and check in on/walk your fur baby any time on the weekdays and weekends. I have experience providing care to for my dog and my friend's dogs/puppies and would love to be able to do so for a client. I'm qualified to come in and feed, bathe, walk, brush, and play with your fur baby/babies. I'm familiar with accommodating for the needs of different pups. If there are any special circumstances, such as medications, I would learn how to administer them correctly.
About: I have about 6 years of extensive pet care. Taking care of family friends pets has allowed for a wide range of types of dogs all ages and sizes. From puppies to dogs with lots of medical problems, I love and care for each and every one. Growing up my family always had 2 dogs at once, so I’m able to multitask with multiple dogs. As a college student, I only go to classes one hour at a time and have the rest of the day to go for walks and feed. I’m not there too late or too early, so I’ll always be back for morning/evening walks and time for food. In clients home I make sure to follow their rules depending on each person. Crate if necessary, or making sure doors are closed and locked before I leave.
“Jaeleigh was very quick to respond and provided us updates for our pup! She followed all the instructions we left her and was reliable. Would definitely recommend for any furry friend. Thanks Jaeleigh! :)”
“Annalise did an amazing job with Happy! Happy is a very friendly but anxious dog. I’m glad he got along with Annalise :) would definitely book again since I’m a frequent traveller.”
“V was so helpful and responsive. What started as a weekend of dog walks turned into a month of regular dog walks at various times thru the day. V was quick to respond to my inquires and Ernest really seemed to like them. I highly recommend V for big dogs like Ernest (and likely any dog smaller than 90 lbs, which I know is many!). They handled his hesitancies (and mine) well with us scheduling a meet and greet and then treating him well thru all the walks. Thanks V!”
“Kayla was amazing. She came through in a pinch when I was too under the weather to walk my pup. She was very easygoing. She tired my dog out, which was exactly the goal. Thank you.”
“Awesome walker, very communicative, took great care of our pup, and was really flexible when we needed to make a last minute change. Would highly recommend Swami to other folks.”
About: Hello, my name is Candance and I can’t wait to meet your fur babies! I have been working with animals of all kinds for 10+ years. I have done long term sitting, walking, and special needs care for dogs and cats. I also have two rescue cats myself Hira who has impaired vision and epilepsy and Nisha who is blind. I am very use to detailed medication plans and treatments because of this. I work from home full time and this allows me a lot of freedom to go for walks during the day or work from someone else’s home and be there all day. I will always treat your animals with love and kindness and will always do my best to communicate with you to put you at ease. Don’t hesitate to message to ask any questions or for potential bookings! I currently work full time remotely and this gives me a lot of freedom to work at other houses or be out with your pets! Treating my clients houses with respect is my top priority next to your pets safety. I believe is lots of communication to hopefully instill trust between us and my care for your pet.
“Hollie did a great job walking Lyla and Daniel. They can be a handful (especially Lyla), and Hollie’s been kind and patient with them. Hollie’s punctual, communicative, and clear with me about what’s happening with the pups! I’m glad that she was able to spend some time with them!”
About: What sets me apart is the level of intention and care I bring to every pet I watch. I don’t see this as just a service — I truly believe pets are gifts and important members of the family, and I treat them that way. I’m comfortable caring for pets at all life stages. With young pets, I reinforce positive behaviors, basic training cues, and consistent routines to help support what owners are already working on. I’m patient and understand that puppies and kittens need structure, energy outlets, and clear boundaries. For senior pets, I provide a calm, gentle approach. I’m attentive to mobility needs, slower routines, medication schedules if needed, and making sure they’re comfortable and not overstimulated. I pay close attention to behavior changes and subtle cues so I can adjust care appropriately. I also prioritize communication and reliability. I provide thoughtful updates and photos so owners feel confident and connected while they’re away. Overall, I focus on individualized care — meeting each pet where they are and making sure they feel safe, understood, and well cared for. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I intentionally structure my schedule to make sure I have dedicated time and energy for each pet I’m caring for — whether that’s drop-ins, feedings, play sessions, or overnight stays. I don’t overbook because I want every animal to get focused attention, not rushed visits. I build pet care into my mornings and evenings especially, when most cats feel most active and engaged, and I make time throughout the day for check-ins, updates, and communication with owners. Caring for pets isn’t something I “squeeze in” — it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize in my week. My approach to pet care is centered around keeping things as close to a pet’s normal routine as possible, because that’s what helps them feel safe and relaxed. In a client’s home, I follow all feeding schedules, litter box routines, and household preferences carefully. I make sure cats have clean spaces, fresh water, enrichment through play, and plenty of affection (or space, if that’s what they prefer). I also keep the home tidy and send regular updates with photos so owners feel connected and reassured while they’re away. If caring for a pet in my home, I focus on creating a calm, low-stress environment where they have a comfortable place to rest and decompress. I’m intentional about introductions, stimulation levels, and maintaining consistency with their usual feeding and play routine. I pay close attention to behavior and mood changes so I can adjust care as needed. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on patience, safety, and individualized attention. Every pet has a different personality — some want lots of play and interaction, others prefer quiet companionship — and I tailor my care to what makes them happiest and most comfortable.
About: I grew up with a dog that I was responsible for from a young age until my late teens. Today, I am the go-to dog care person for family and friends. I love animals but especially dogs so I decided to try expanding my skills here on Rover. I have experience helping dogs who are injured and need medicine, active, semi-active, and mellow dogs too! My current schedule offers flexibility throughout the weekdays and most weekends, which helps me balance and accommodate dog owners' various schedules/needs throughout the entire week. At your home, I am a responsible and conscientous person, who treats someone's home with care. I am adaptable to different home environments. The main thing for me is feeling safe in the home and cleanliness -:) and that the dog is comfortable.

“Angela was wonderful dog sitting my pup for a long weekend! She was quick to respond, happy to have an initial meet and greet and sent me tons of updates during his stay. My dog was well cared for and I’d be happy to use Angela 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!”
“Jeff & Beth and his children are great sitters. We’re so grateful to have found them! They sent multiple pictures and messages letting me know how our dog Luna was doing throughout her stay. They made the drop off and pick up so easy which is a huge bonus! And Luna came home happy and healthy! You can tell that they really enjoy looking after dogs. They are just really nice people!”

“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.”
“Susan and her family were wonderful dog sitters. She gave Roxy lots of attention and was flexible about the pick up time. She also took time to meet Roxy before hand to make sure it was a good match.”
“Sherry went above and beyond to take care of Molly during her stay, including taking her to vet (which was quite a drive away) when her vet here in Berkeley was unable to see her immediately. She clearly loves animals and will do her best to care for them like her own pet during their stay. Five stars for her extra time and care to ensure the best care for our girl!”
“Caroline was a super canine vacation host! She sends daily activity messages, pics and comments at days end. She even does follow up work after ... She helped me with trainer etc... highly recommended. Drew miller”
“Len was fantastic! He took care of our pup Wisco after our last minute change of travel plans for 4th of July weekend. Our dog is older, had just started some medication, and also is afraid of fireworks (so not ideal to be away from home during 4th of July). That said, Len made sure to understand her sensitivities so he could create an environment where she felt safe/comfortable given the holiday weekend. He shared the cutest photos of her while we were away, and we came to a very happy dog. Would absolutely book with Len again.”
“Terry was pulling with excitement when he realized he was getting dropped off under Alexandra’s care again. Alexandra took great care of my dog. She was very accommodating of drop off and pick up times, and sent daily update photos and videos. Terry was in great spirits when I picked him up. Thanks Alexandra!”
“I recently hired Shatese as a dog sitter and I couldn't be happier with her services. She is not only professional, but also incredibly kind and loving towards my dog. She treated my dog as if it were her own and provided frequent updates and pictures, which helped ease my mind while I was away. Shatese went above and beyond to make sure my dog was comfortable and happy during their stay. I highly recommend Shatese as a dog sitter and will definitely be using her services again in the future.”
About: I offer a quieter, more individualized kind of dog sitting. I only take dogs from one household at a time, so your dog won’t be sharing the space with a rotating group of other dogs. That allows me to give them a lot of individual attention and to keep their routine as familiar as possible. I’m a licensed acupuncturist and a therapist in training, so being reliable and observant is a big part of my professional life. I’m also very conscientious about following your instructions closely. I know how much the little details matter, and I make a point of keeping track of feeding schedules, medications, walks, sleeping arrangements, and the routines that help your dog feel at home. I have firsthand experience caring for an anxious dog who later developed dementia and physical limitations. Because of that, I’m especially comfortable with senior dogs and dogs who are sensitive or easily overwhelmed. I understand how much patience and consistency can matter when a dog needs extra support. I’m especially available on weekends, when I can spend plenty of time with your dog rather than fitting visits around a packed schedule. Depending on their personality and energy level, we might have a quiet day at home, take neighborhood walks, or head out to places like Piedmont Park, the Albany Bulb, or the beach. I want your dog to feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away, and I want you to feel completely confident that someone is really paying attention to them. Pet care fits best into my schedule on weekends, when I have plenty of time to give dogs attention, walks, companionship, and a relaxed home environment. I’m generally available from Friday evening through Sunday and can often accommodate weekend boarding or daytime care. During the week I work a regular professional schedule, so I’m intentional about only accepting bookings when I know I can provide the time and attention a pet needs. When a dog is staying with me, I want them to be part of my routine rather than squeezed into it. I take safety and trust seriously and make a point of following each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. In my home, I provide a calm, comfortable environment and make sure dogs have appropriate supervision, regular walks and potty breaks, fresh water, and plenty of attention. I’m careful about feeding instructions, medications, leash safety, and any behavioral or health concerns you share with me. I also like to know about a dog’s personality, triggers, routines, and preferences ahead of time so I can help them feel comfortable and settled. If I’m caring for a pet in your home, I’m respectful of your space and follow your instructions closely. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.
“Joann was great! She took us on with really late notice, sent updates of our cute sleepy dog, and our pup came home super happy. Would work with Joann again in the future!”
“Niyuan is an excellent pet sitter. Very responsible and reliable, and she communicated clearly and consistently the entire time. She kept detailed records of feeding and care, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I really appreciated how she maintained open communication throughout, always keeping me updated. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and attentive sitter.”
“Bear had a great time with Ulumna. She sent us a picture every day and we could see how happy he was. It was like he had his own vacation while we were on ours! We’re glad to have found Ulumna and hope to book her again in the future!”
“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!”
“Abigail went above and beyond to care for our two dogs while we were away for 2 weeks. We have two dogs in very different life stages (one is elderly and required medication and one is young and highly energetic). She catered to them both perfectly and sent updates everyday while we were away. We have the upmost confidence in Abigail, she is genuinely kind and attentive. Couldn’t recommend her enough!”
“Kianna and her family adore Luffy and he adores them! She takes very good care of him and he is always so happy to hang out with her kids. This is officially his vacation spot!”
