“Astrid took wonderful care of our senior pup. She was very responsive, sent lots of photos and he came home happy and not stressed. I'd recommend her to anyone looking for an experience sitter and those with senior dogs.”
“Chawntea is amazing! Bear was well taken care of and she sent many pictures and videos of him so I could see how much fun he was having. Definitely recommend!”
“Sunday has been through a lot of difficult changes recently—a move, the loss of her doggy best friend and just normal growing up. Sunday is a sweet girl but can be high energy, anxious and a little mischievous. Megan and Jenny handled Sunday like absolute pros. Sunday was entertained with walks and lots of play time in their sweet house/yard. Jenny + Megan are responsible, reliant, and absolutely in love with their dog friends, not to mention flexible and easy-going—they treated Sunday like their own and I feel so thankful to have found such loving people to look after my girl. From the very first interaction they have been so responsive and accommodating! I hope to rebook them again soon, just so Sunday can get her fix!”
“Chad was lovely with our two dogs - dealt calmly with our nervous older boy, and the younger dog had a good time playing outside. Very accommodating with a lot of last-minute rescheduling, and the atmosphere is just what our dogs feel comfortable: a family home, where they can nap on the couch and potter about.”
“Alexandra was great with our kitty! She sent me pictures and videos the entire time we were away and I could tell the cat was happy and well cared for. It was a great relief during our long time away to know Tiger was in good hands. Communication was easy and prompt as well.”
“Ying is a wonderful dog sitter. She took care of our 75lbs Shepard mix and sent us fun photos and generally cared about his well being. We hope she’s available the next time we need a sitter!”
“I received a lot of communication, videos and pictures from Jonathan. It was clear that our Minnie was being taken good care of and having a good time. This made us feel so happy that we can go out of town and leave her in good hands!”
“Kennia was great with our Yogi! We recently moved to the city and this was our first time boarding Yogi with Kennia and she made sure Yogi felt like home! She was super communicative and shared daily updates on Yogi with photos and videos and you could tell he was having a great time. One special thing to note that our Yogi had specific needs due to him being on anti seizure medication and Kennia was extremely diligent with administering the needed medication to him and made sure he was looked after really well!! You can tell she’s a true animal lover and trust that Kennia will treat your fur babies as one of of her own! Kennia also gave our Yogi a goodbye gift which was a first for us! All in all, she’s generous and awesome and we definitely recommend Kennia with 5 stars!!!”
“Kendal was so great with Raven and very easy to work with. She got Raven to relax and cuddle by day 2 of knowing her which is a huge deal for our anxious little rescue baby!”
“My little dog had a great time for a 5 night stay with Hy and Arlo. I was grateful for them responding so quickly to my initial request. We arranged a meet and greet at their home, and my dog was quickly at home in their lovely house and back yard. Hy sent many beautiful pics to me throughout the stay and let me know how he was doing. Really appreciate their care while I was away and I would absolutely book with them again.”
“Lacey was fantastic with my very big & cuddly dog, who also has severe separation anxiety. He was clearly in good hands! Though it was only for one overnight we will definitely be working with Lacey & her family again!!”
“Diesel was in great hands with Dvora while we were away. She sent us daily updates and photos and it made me very happy to know that he was being taken care of with daily walks, and a ton of attention. He had her good sized yard to run around in and the older dog Mitzy for company. We had introduced our dogs before the official visit and talked over all of Diesel's needs and background so I knew that he was staying with the right person. I highly recommend Dvora and I know when we go away on vacation again she is the first person I would call :) Thank you! ”
About: I have 21 years of hands-on experience raising my own loving pitbulls, singing with a pack of opinionated huskies, and working with fosters. Whether it’s walks, pets and a calming presence, or special attention to medications (eye and oral) for specific needs, I aim to make each outing a tail-wagging success! I am currently pursuing a second bachelor’s degree in nursing. My lectures are remote, and my in-person commitment is minimal, leaving me plenty of availability and flexibility to make sure that your family members are taken care of to the best of my ability! Afternoons after 12pm - 9pm are ideal but your dog is the priority and I can accommodate most needs. Coming from a background in emergency medicine, I know that trust and safety are two of the highest priorities for caretakers of any kind. I emphasize that I am a guest into homes, and that the well-being of furry family members is the highest priority. Even the most unique needs should be met!

“Golda was a great caretaker for our hyper-active labradoodle! She worked to tire Ginger out with endless ball-throwing (what she lives for). This was the longest I have ever boarded her so was worried about her. Golda sent daily updates & photos which calmed me down quite a bit! And, of course, it rained heavily on 3 of the days with Golda; but she still managed to exercise Ginger in the rain. Would be very comfortable having Ginger with Golda again!”

“Lucy was absolutely wonderful! She was communicative throughout the entire booking—quick to respond and always kept us updated with the cutest photos. She followed all instructions carefully, and my cat HaoHao was happy and well cared for. We felt at ease knowing Lucy was looking after her. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Tinwan and JieYing took thoughtful, amazing care of my cat. They were very conscientious and followed my instructions exactly. PLUS they sent beautiful photos. This was the first time I've used a sitter and it was so reassuring to know my cat was in good hands. I highly recommend these two - and have told my family and friends (all cat owners) how successfully this went.”
About: i have always grown up with at least one cat. they are my favorite animal! i have experience with almost everything to do with the cats. giving them medicine, meals, treats, cleaning litter boxes, playing. i know their behaviors very well and when they need space or they feel overwhelmed. i understand that they are usually less playful than dogs and to be more cautious and gentle with them!
“We needed a sitter at the last minute and Vanessa came in a saved the day. She followed our instructions to the letter and she sent photos of our little guy, which put our minds at ease. Vanessa is a caring, pet lover whom we've trust completely. Her customer service is top notch and she's a pleasure to interact with. We'll continue to use and recommend her to others as long as she's associated with Rover.😺”
“Jisselle took wonderful care of my cat! He loved her and jumped right into her arms when he met her. She was punctual, communicated well and often, and she followed the specialized instructions. I will definitely be using her again!”
“Stephanie did a great job taking care of our two cats. She sent us pictures each day she visited. She was very prompt and did exactly what we asked of her. Our cats' feeding is a bit complicated and she was very accomodating. We will definitely ask her to pet-sit again.”
“My husband and I highly recommend Zen! She has been great with our two cats, who are young and playful but also have special diets and require extra care. She is diligent, communicative, and thoughtful. Plus she even won over our little scaredy-cat!! What a gem! Thanks Zen!”

About: Greetings! I'm Patrick. I've done a bunch of pet and house sitting on another platform, as well as for family, friends and acquaintances, besides having my own pets or sharing them with past partners. I used to practice massage therapy and reiki. I bring a similar intention to handling pets that I brought to responding to clients needs. I'd like to do part-time pet care in the East Bay, with some availability to housesit for longer sits around the full Bay Area. I can be more spontaneous for pet care near Oakland depending upon the timing. For longer resident sits please try to give me a week or two notice with a request. I'll see what works. Thanks! What an honor it is to care for people's homes and pets! I feel excited to transition my pet and house-sitting to this platform. Thanks for your consideration. I enjoy caring for pets and homes. I appreciate the trust-building process, staying accountable and growing as a person, all which these experiences foster. I intend to be a respectful well-communicating sitter and to provide a safe fun atmosphere for your pets. I appreciate receiving questions and feedback during a video chat or in person meet and greet where we get to know each other.
“Jonathan was great. I was on an 8 day deep sea fishing trip and had no way to communicate while out to sea. But when I made it back to civilization I was pleased to receive photos and videos from Jonathan from each day I was gone which set me at ease knowing my kitties were fine and in good hands. I'll definitely be using Jonathan again and would recommend him to anyone needing help with their furry friends.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter than Natasha! She spent the week with my cat while I was on vacation, and sent me updates throughout the week which was reassuring. She even cleaned up before leaving, which was wonderful! I highly recommend Natasha :)”
“We had Nia drop by twice a day to help take out our 17 yr old dachshund for potty breaks. She was always on time, very professional, and extremely communicative. She also sent lots of photos to let us know how things were going. We will be looking to have Nia do drop-in visits in the future and overnight stays.”
About: Hello Pet Parents! My name is Jackie and I am an RVT at an emergency hospital in Berkeley, CA. I am a Carrington College graduate and an experienced dog/cat mom. I have an 14 year old Chihuahua named Kandy and a 5 year old DSH named Pops at home that love to cuddle. Although, I enjoy playtime with the kids, I know how to get down to business. I have experience taking vitals, administering PO, IM, IV, and topical medications for any of your babies that may be more high maintenance. Rest assured if your pet needs post-op care; my girl has gone through her fair share of procedures, so I know how to take it slow and help recover at their own pace. I would love to meet you and your fur babies! My career in vet med has made pet care my main focus. I am a professional with 7+ years of experience, as well as experience taking care of my own pets for almost 15 years. I will always do what is best for my clients and their pets. I value safety above all else. Having my high maintenance, older lady at home has taught me so much about patience with geriatric pets and the level of care chronically ill pets require.

“Kai and I enjoyed Chawntea so much that we rebooked. As a first time furbaby mom it’s hard to just leave my baby with anyone. I am so glad to have found her.”
About: Hey my names Kenneth de arman , I have large amounts of knowledge on dog psychology and physiology. I have trained dogs for 9 years and have cared for numerous animals since I was 10. I have owned large dogs and small breeds. Also have owned an abundance of reptiles. I am certified in explosive detection. I specialize in obedience, socialization, behavior modification and I raised American Bullys for 8 years. I have owned a large number of dogs over 27 years. There isn’t anything that’s to much for me. What sets me apart of other people is that I work with all breeds but specifically working dogs. I am confident and have trained dogs from start to finish. If you need any help or have any questions I’d be more than welcome to answer them for you. I am available for drop in the am and pick up time around 5pm. I am never discouraged when it comes to caring for an animal. I make time and I will always move my schedule around so that the animals can be happy. I have a fenced yard that is split, boarders have been placed along the fence. This is to prevent fence fighting or becoming territorial. I have large water bowls I keep 2 outside. I refill the water ever 2-3 hours a day. I clean the yard with a pooper scooper three times a day. I spray the yard with cleaner and fly spray. I do this everyday 7 days a week. My dogs are usually outside from morning till night. I give them walks in between the day and I train my malinois a lot due to their high drive( trainer for 9yrs) . Always entertaining them and giving them something to do is crucial.
“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.”
About: What sets me apart is that I’ve long been the trusted, go-to pet sitter in my friend group. I have experience caring for dogs and cats, including month long stays with a young puppy where I supported potty training and first outdoor walks. I grew up with dogs, so caring for animals feels natural to me and something I genuinely love. Pet care is already part of my daily routine. I help care for two dogs at home, so feeding, walks, playtime, and general attention are things I’m involved with every day. This makes caring for other pets feel seamless and familiar. I tailor my care to each pet’s routine and personality, whether in my home or a client’s home. I make sure feeding schedules are followed, fresh water is always available, and pets get plenty of attention, play, and exercise as needed. I keep living spaces clean, handle litter boxes or waste promptly, and prioritize comfort, safety, and consistency so pets feel relaxed and cared for in a familiar environment.
“Our dog Lyra has stayed with Natalia for daycare twice now. She is quick to respond, provides lots of updates, and takes great care of our dog. Lyra came home happy and tired both times. She has a backyard for the dogs to play in, and her front yard is also fenced for extra security. I'd recommend Natalia and plan to book with her again!”
“Lily is a wonderful sitter that loves my dog as if she were her own! I would definitely reach out to Lily if I need care for Nyxie again. You will not regret asking her to care for your beloved pup ❤️ Thanks so much Lily!”
“Our recently adopted puppy had his first doggy daycare stay with Beatryx. Beatryx made sure that we felt comfortable that our puppy would be introduced to other pups in a measured and controlled way, and that Beatryx would give us updates about our pup's day. Sure enough we got plenty of picture updates, our pup made friends, and was happy as a clam when we picked him up.”
“I had a great experience with Korin! I left Maru with her for a few hours while we went out for a late dinner. Our dinner ran a little longer than expected, but she was so understanding and patient. We really appreciated their flexibility and kindness. Would definitely book with them again! ❤️”

Whether your pup loves playtime, or just hanging out and getting belly rubs, I’m happy to give them the attention and care they deserve.

I’m a lifelong dog lover who had the joy of raising a chocolate lab from playful puppy days all the way to his sweet senior years, so I know firsthand how much love, patience, and care our furry friends need at every stage. I work from home, which means your pup will get plenty of attention, snuggles, and potty breaks throughout the day. I also have a large fenced-in yard perfect for safe playtime, fetch, and sunbathing naps! Whether you need boarding, feeding, or quick potty breaks, I’ve got you covered. I treat every pet like family because that’s exactly what they are. ✨ Note: All visiting dogs must be house-trained. Can’t wait to meet your four-legged friend!

“Baxter has stayed Andrea and her pups twice for daycare, with hopefully more days to come! Andrea has a gentle, kind spirit and seems very attuned to a dog's needs. At our meet & greet, she asked great questions about Baxter and his routines. She provided fun updates with pics a few times a day -- much appreciated!”
“Pearl was an amazing sitter who took very good care of our dog, we had regular updates and they were so incredibly sweet with Clyde. They went the extra mile and we were so happy to find them last minute.”
About: I have a seven year old german shepherd/husky of my own whom I have trained since 2017. Along side “Honey” I have recently adopted a four year old chihuahua named “Lil Vaca”. These two sweet girls hold my heart and I rover on the side to support them. 😊 I can promise to not only take care of your dog but treat him/her the same way I treat mine. Which is with kisses, cuddles and love! I am flexible and will work with your needs of you and your pet. I charge an acceptable rate and would just need to know in advance about any behavioral issues or behavioral changes you are trying to make for your furry friend. I’m excited to begin! I like to stay within 10 minutes of my home in case I need to rush home to check on my pets. Besides this I am plenty flexible! I care for them with kindness and attention.

“Stache had a great time with Golda. He came back to us calm, stress free and happy. That is a sign that he was very comfortable around Golda. We appreciated the frequent updates and photos!”
About: I care for pets like my own. I go above and beyond and make sure they are clean and happy. I love taking the dogs I care for on long walks and I also enjoy playing with them, and giving them attention through a good 'ole fashioned belly rub. I am happily retired and love animals. My husband and I were pet owners to a beautiful spunky, honey-colored Pomeranian, named Daisy. Sadly she passed away in 2021 after 13 beautiful years together. I haven't replaced her since. I dog/pet sit for my friends' dogs on occasion. Pet sitting helps fill the void of my Daisy and I would like to do it more for those that may need it. My friends and family entrust me with their pets because they know I will care for them as my own. When I dog sit, I give them attention, play with them, and take them on walks. If I'm not taking them for a walk around the neighborhood or the local park, I have a backyard for them to handle their immediate business. I have a fenced backyard, a spacious living room and a large bonus room that is connected to our living room that allows dogs space to roam around. And if requested, I can also administer medications or have your dog sleep in their crate, if needed.
“Diana made us feel very comfortable that our dog Soulja was in good hands during our vacation. She would send photos and video of Soulja having a great time. We are grateful to have Diana to take care of our Soulja . T. Summerhill”

About: I took care of my aunt’s dog named Batman for 8 years until my aunt moved away. Ever since I have always enjoyed taking care of animals like dogs, cats, hamsters, fish and chickens!

I have a fenced yard and a dog park down the block. I have an old crate that can be used if needed and no other dogs or cats in the home.
“Jonathan was fantastic with Roman this weekend! His communication was excellent from start to finish. He kept me updated throughout the walk and sent photos and videos so I could see Roman having a great time. He also made sure Roman was fed and taken care of exactly as instructed. It's clear Jonathan genuinely cares about the pets he looks after, and I felt completely at ease knowing Roman was in good hands. Would absolutely book him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive rover!”
“Natalia was very patient with our border collie who can pull a lot during walks and is over all too energetic most of the time. Her walks really helped Millie be happier during the day before we came hom!”

About: I've been pet sitting/babysitting/house sitting since I was young. I am very reliable and have no problem communicating any problems that arise or questions I may have. I have experience in family/house management as well. Let me know if you have any questions! I look forward to hearing from you!

About: Every dog is treated like part of our family. Unlike many sitters, we board only one family’s dog(s) at a time, so your pet receives our full attention in a calm, low-stress home environment. Because I’m home most of the day, your dog will enjoy plenty of companionship and won’t be left alone for long periods. We welcome dogs of all breeds and sizes and have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, and dogs that require daily medications. We’ll keep your dog’s routine as close to home as possible—from feeding and walks to playtime, potty breaks, and medications—so you can travel with complete peace of mind. Throughout your dog’s stay, you’ll receive plenty of photo and video updates, so you’ll always know they’re happy, safe, and having a great time with us. I’m a stay-at-home mom with a 12-year old daughter and a 3-year-old son. Our family recently said goodbye to our beloved dog after 14 wonderful years, so I understand that pets are truly family. Because I’m home most of the day, your dog will receive plenty of attention, companionship, and care. We board only one family’s dog(s) at a time, creating a calm, low-stress environment where your pet can feel safe and comfortable. Our fully fenced yard provides a secure place to play, and I’ll follow your dog’s normal routine—including walks, feeding schedules, medications if needed, and plenty of love—so they feel right at home while you’re away. We’re a dog-friendly family with a secure, fenced backyard where your pup can play, relax, and enjoy plenty of fresh air. With your permission, dogs are welcome on the couch and are treated like part of our family during their stay. My children love animals, so for everyone’s safety, all dogs must be friendly and comfortable around kids, with no history of aggression toward children. We board only one family’s dog(s) at a time, providing a calm, low-stress environment with plenty of individual attention. I provide daily neighborhood walks based on your dog’s routine and needs. Longer walks or hikes are also available for an additional fee. Throughout your dog’s stay, I’ll send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

About: I grew up surrounded by pets and have spent my entire life caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. For over 12 years, friends and family have trusted me as their go-to person for walking, feeding, bathing, and looking after their animals — long before I made it a profession. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, anxious pets, and multi-dog households. Every pet in my care gets photo and video updates throughout the day so you always know your dog is happy, safe, and loved. Caring for pets fits naturally into my routine because I intentionally keep a flexible schedule to provide reliable, attentive care. I also believe in consistency, communication, and treating every pet like they’re my own are what give owners peace of mind while they’re away. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I respect your home and follow your instructions closely. I provide regular photo and video updates for peace of mind, and I’m experienced with dogs of all temperaments, including anxious, seniors and special needs pets. Potty breaks will be according to however the owner pet would like to keep your dog comfortable and on routine.
About: I love dogs! At the end of the day your fur child will be happy and pooped, and you will be worry free knowing that they are in safe hands and well taken care of. Having pets of my own I am very well aware of the responsibilities that come with a dog. I know just exactly what is required of me, and what is expected. After a long hard day at work, you will be able to come home to a cuddle bug just waiting for your arrival. Or even while you are away on vacation, you can be rest assured knowing that your pet is in good hands! What comes with your pet visit: 1 on 1 attention full of love and care. 30 minutes or more of playtime at the dog park at least once per stay 15-20 min. walks (at least 3 times a day). Meals will be served morning and evening Positive reinforcement is a must! Please note that it is a MUST that your dog is neutered/spayed to prevent any accidents. And let me know of any problem behaviors so I can best understand your dog's needs and how to approach it.
About: I am a dependable and compassionate pet sitter with a genuine love for animals of all kinds. Experienced in caring for dogs, cats, and small animals, I provide attentive, personalized care tailored to each pet’s unique needs and personality. I am skilled in feeding, administering basic medications, maintaining exercise routines, and ensuring a safe, comfortable environment. Whether it’s playful interaction, quiet companionship, or detailed care for special needs pets, I prioritize their well-being and happiness. With strong communication skills, I keep pet owners updated for peace of mind while they are away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. I schedule regular feeding times, walks, and play sessions to ensure pets feel secure and cared for. I make time for exercise, grooming, and plenty of affection, whether it’s in the morning before starting my day, during midday breaks, or in the evenings. On a weekly basis, I also handle tasks like cleaning pet spaces, refreshing bedding, and restocking supplies. This consistent routine helps me keep pets happy, healthy, and comfortable. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where they can relax and feel at ease. I follow their regular feeding schedules, ensure fresh water is always available, and create a balance of playtime, exercise, and rest. I keep living areas pet-friendly and supervise interactions to prevent accidents. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I maintain their normal routines to reduce stress. This includes feeding, walking, administering basic medications, cleaning litter boxes or cages, and giving plenty of attention. I also respect the home by keeping it tidy, following instructions closely, and providing regular updates so owners know their pets are happy and well-cared for.
About: What sets me apart is that I’ve long been the trusted, go-to pet sitter in my friend group. I have experience caring for dogs and cats, including month long stays with a young puppy where I supported potty training and first outdoor walks. I grew up with dogs, so caring for animals feels natural to me and something I genuinely love. Pet care is already part of my daily routine. I help care for two dogs at home, so feeding, walks, playtime, and general attention are things I’m involved with every day. This makes caring for other pets feel seamless and familiar. I tailor my care to each pet’s routine and personality, whether in my home or a client’s home. I make sure feeding schedules are followed, fresh water is always available, and pets get plenty of attention, play, and exercise as needed. I keep living spaces clean, handle litter boxes or waste promptly, and prioritize comfort, safety, and consistency so pets feel relaxed and cared for in a familiar environment.

“Astrid took wonderful care of our senior pup. She was very responsive, sent lots of photos and he came home happy and not stressed. I'd recommend her to anyone looking for an experience sitter and those with senior dogs.”
“Sunday has been through a lot of difficult changes recently—a move, the loss of her doggy best friend and just normal growing up. Sunday is a sweet girl but can be high energy, anxious and a little mischievous. Megan and Jenny handled Sunday like absolute pros. Sunday was entertained with walks and lots of play time in their sweet house/yard. Jenny + Megan are responsible, reliant, and absolutely in love with their dog friends, not to mention flexible and easy-going—they treated Sunday like their own and I feel so thankful to have found such loving people to look after my girl. From the very first interaction they have been so responsive and accommodating! I hope to rebook them again soon, just so Sunday can get her fix!”
“Chad was lovely with our two dogs - dealt calmly with our nervous older boy, and the younger dog had a good time playing outside. Very accommodating with a lot of last-minute rescheduling, and the atmosphere is just what our dogs feel comfortable: a family home, where they can nap on the couch and potter about.”
“Alexandra was great with our kitty! She sent me pictures and videos the entire time we were away and I could tell the cat was happy and well cared for. It was a great relief during our long time away to know Tiger was in good hands. Communication was easy and prompt as well.”
“Ying is a wonderful dog sitter. She took care of our 75lbs Shepard mix and sent us fun photos and generally cared about his well being. We hope she’s available the next time we need a sitter!”
“I received a lot of communication, videos and pictures from Jonathan. It was clear that our Minnie was being taken good care of and having a good time. This made us feel so happy that we can go out of town and leave her in good hands!”
“Kennia was great with our Yogi! We recently moved to the city and this was our first time boarding Yogi with Kennia and she made sure Yogi felt like home! She was super communicative and shared daily updates on Yogi with photos and videos and you could tell he was having a great time. One special thing to note that our Yogi had specific needs due to him being on anti seizure medication and Kennia was extremely diligent with administering the needed medication to him and made sure he was looked after really well!! You can tell she’s a true animal lover and trust that Kennia will treat your fur babies as one of of her own! Kennia also gave our Yogi a goodbye gift which was a first for us! All in all, she’s generous and awesome and we definitely recommend Kennia with 5 stars!!!”
“Kendal was so great with Raven and very easy to work with. She got Raven to relax and cuddle by day 2 of knowing her which is a huge deal for our anxious little rescue baby!”
“My little dog had a great time for a 5 night stay with Hy and Arlo. I was grateful for them responding so quickly to my initial request. We arranged a meet and greet at their home, and my dog was quickly at home in their lovely house and back yard. Hy sent many beautiful pics to me throughout the stay and let me know how he was doing. Really appreciate their care while I was away and I would absolutely book with them again.”
“Lacey was fantastic with my very big & cuddly dog, who also has severe separation anxiety. He was clearly in good hands! Though it was only for one overnight we will definitely be working with Lacey & her family again!!”
About: I have 21 years of hands-on experience raising my own loving pitbulls, singing with a pack of opinionated huskies, and working with fosters. Whether it’s walks, pets and a calming presence, or special attention to medications (eye and oral) for specific needs, I aim to make each outing a tail-wagging success! I am currently pursuing a second bachelor’s degree in nursing. My lectures are remote, and my in-person commitment is minimal, leaving me plenty of availability and flexibility to make sure that your family members are taken care of to the best of my ability! Afternoons after 12pm - 9pm are ideal but your dog is the priority and I can accommodate most needs. Coming from a background in emergency medicine, I know that trust and safety are two of the highest priorities for caretakers of any kind. I emphasize that I am a guest into homes, and that the well-being of furry family members is the highest priority. Even the most unique needs should be met!
About: I have been walking dogs and sitting for cats and dogs for over 10 years. Mostly for family friends and neighbors. I love dogs and have lived with a big husky for also over 10 years. I grew up with cats aswell. I have experience walking big dogs that pull and i have even been able to train some dogs. I now live in a house with a big fenced backyard so i would love to host dogs. I work from home aswell so i am always around to take care of them. i work full time from home as an artist. I go on walks everyday and i am always able to give your pet attention! I have a car aswell so transportation is easy. I spend a lot of time in my backyard and would love to play with more animals. It is completely fenced in. I have a fenced yard with lots of space to run. Im already very active and love to go on walks and hikes. I work at home so everyday i am here except for grocery shopping and errands!
“Golda was a great caretaker for our hyper-active labradoodle! She worked to tire Ginger out with endless ball-throwing (what she lives for). This was the longest I have ever boarded her so was worried about her. Golda sent daily updates & photos which calmed me down quite a bit! And, of course, it rained heavily on 3 of the days with Golda; but she still managed to exercise Ginger in the rain. Would be very comfortable having Ginger with Golda again!”
“My dog Thisbe seemed to have the best time ever with Robyn and her family during her stay, and I trusted them entirely while I was away. I got frequent photo updates from the large hiking area near their home that they went to once or twice a day, and other updates from her their time at home together. When I picked her up, they gave a thorough update and expressed how much they loved getting to dogsit her -- and it even seemed like Thisbe was sad to leave. I would absolutely recommend leaving your dog with Robyn! Your pup will be safe, happy, well-exercised and well-loved.”
“This is our 3rd time boarding our furbaby with Jessie, I don't think you could find a better dog sitter than her and Cade and of course Eta too. They are so loving and thoughtful and will do everything they possibly can to ensure your dog is in the most loving hands. If you are looking for someone to spoil your pup while you are away, don't look any further!”
“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.”
“Kristen and Ryan were very welcoming of our pup! They were understanding of her nuances and helped her adjust to a new environment fast. They have a nice spacious home with a big backyard that our dog loved relaxing in. Kristen and Ryan were very communicative throughout the stay and sent daily updates with photos. 100% recommend!”
“Amazing experience. Our rescue pup Conan is anxious, but he felt right at home with Tiana and got along wonderfully with her sweet, well-behaved dog. Tiana sent us pictures and videos the entire time we were away, and it was evident that Conan was relaxed and having fun! Tiana genuinely loves dogs and understands them well. Will definitely book again in the future!”
“Angel is very responsive and shows great responsibility. She takes really good care of my cat. She likes Benjamin and Benjamin likes her. Thank you for accepting the book last minute!”
