“Tracy and her husband took great care of my pup Sesame while we were away! They gave us many updates throughout the day and made sure to follow my dog’s daily exercise and feeding schedule. Sesame looked like he was happy and enjoying his time! I would definitely recommend Tracy!”
“This was my first time using Rover service. I was worried in the first. But Manli and his husband were very nice to my dogs and very responsive. They sent me pictures of the dogs everyday and kept us posted all the time. The husband even slept on couch to take care of my dogs since they barked at the new environment in the night. Will definitely use them again in the future.”
“Marivel took really good care of Mezcal and sent us a lot of updates throughout the stay. She kept him with dogs his size and he enjoyed that a lot. Thank you Marivel for taking care of our lil guy.”
“Margarita took very good care of Buddy and kept us updated with photos and videos throughout his stay, which we really appreciated! It was nice to see how he was doing and know he was being well cared for. We would gladly trust her with Buddy again in the future.”
“Ying provided a fantastic boarding experience for 16 days for my dog. She took my dog for at least two walks per day, played fetch with her every day, and also took her on a longer hike. She sent me extensive updates three times per day with numerous photos and videos. The detailed information allowed me to see that my dog was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Ying’s dog Charlie is also incredibly gentle and calm, and although my dog is often anxious around other dogs, they became great friends. While I was away, my dog also developed some irritation in her paws, likely due to pre-existing allergies. Ying informed me promptly and treated the problem effectively per my instructions, and her paws were completely healed by the time I returned to pick her up. I highly recommend Ying for boarding and I won’t hesitate to use her again the next time I travel.”
“This was Shiloh's second time at Guillermo' and Siobhan's home. Guillermo has great vibes and Shiloh comes home fulfilled and tired. We couldn't ask for more!”
“Jifu was great with our 10-months old golden doodle puppy. He stayed for a week. It was our first time boarding and we were very nervous - but were reassured by the great communication and daily updates. We highly recommend Jifu!”
“My Border-Aussie (7.5 yrs old) stayed with Kimmy, Jesse and Tycho for 5 nights and 6 days (while I was 400 miles away with my kids). How can I describe their care? Heroic. Yes, heroic. My pup had not stayed at Rover or away from family in about 3 years - and had always had a great time at Rover hosts. This time he apparently decided to express separation anxiety with loss of use of rear legs and bowels for two days! Kimmy and Jesse were sending photos and text every few hours while I tried to get a mobile vet there (they don’t do emergencies it turns out). But we started to reason that all didn’t make sense based on timing! They got a lifting harness and diapers and were on full time watch. But I most regret the anxiety and worry they went through. By day 3 he was up and about and day 5 and 6 having a grand old time. Conclusion? Border Drama - yup it’s a thing. He does have some intermittent weakness in right rear leg but this was a true performance which they handled with so much compassion toward Jango and grace toward me. I literally do not know any friends or neighbors who could have handled situation better or who I could have trusted more. I’ve owned Border Collies for over 25 years and this was a new one even for me! They are exceptional folks who genuinely love dogs and are a blessing. They even took a photo they gave to me of Jango with the caption “Best Drama King” lol. Thku Kimmy, Jesse and Tycho!”
“Grace is beyond amazing! She is extremely communicative, consistently giving us updates and pictures of Valentina. Very loving and kind towards our dog gave her really nice attention and daily walks. Great!”
“Farah and Tommy did a fantastic job taking care of our Chiweenie, Miso, on short notice this weekend. We were incredibly busy, and it was such a relief knowing she was in good hands. They provided excellent communication throughout her stay, sending regular updates and checking in about her quirks to ensure everything was normal. Miso clearly received plenty of quality attention and affection. We will definitely book with them again and highly recommend their services. Thank you both!”
“Matthew and Katelyn were amazing! They took such great care of our pup for the night and made everything super easy. They sent updates and photos, and I could tell Coco was having a great time and felt totally comfortable. When we picked him up, he was happy and relaxed. I’m so glad we found them — I’d definitely book again!”
“Jessica is the best! She watched our dog Roo and instantly became her best friend - she made her chicken, put on a cute sweater for our dog, and kept us up to date on all the fun times. Our trip ran a little long and she was super understanding and kept her for nearly 4 hours longer. We are so happy we found her and will definitely be booking again!”
“Anniruda & Isha watched our senior dog Zephyr. At intake Anniruda was very thorough with questions about our doggo. They went out of their way to ensure Zephyr’s comfort during her stay. She was all tuckered out by the time we picked her up. Thank you for providing such diligent care to our dog!”
About: Firm yet loving care for all dogs, specializing in puppy training, high energy, hiking/running, and managing complex medical needs like seizures, food sensitivities, and limited mobility. Currently working from home with flexible time which allows me to integrate training, walks, play time, and medical monitoring throughout the day, while weekends are dedicated to long runs/walks and trail hikes. My approach to pet care is rooted in structure, trust, and genuine affection. My services will be tailored to each dog's needs indoors or outdoors.
“We had a very busy weekend where our Chaweenie, Miso, would have had to be alone for large stretches, or travel non-stop in a car all day. So we decided to find a "surrogate family" for the weekend. Shobi, her husband, and girls took great care of her. When I picked her up, she seemed relaxed and happy. We will for sure book more stays with Shobi and her lovely family!”
“Margaret and her dogs welcomed Quincy, our labradoodle, as a temporary member of their pack. It was great for him to be with other dogs and a very dog-savvy human. Margaret’s very observant, very caring and ready to help new dogs learn good behaviors. We hope Quincy will be able to stay with her in the future.”
“Peanut had his trial day with Shannon today and everything went great. She took wonderful care of him, kept us updated with lots of photos, and made us feel very comfortable the whole time. We could see that he was happy and well cared for. We will definitely book with her again in the future”

“Cameron was amazing and really accommodating of our holiday schedule which was unexpectedly chaotic due to storms in our area. He made sure our cat was well taken care of and went above and beyond in all regards!”
“Rachel was great with our shy cats while we were away. She was patient with them, coaxing them out of their hiding places sooner than anyone else so far. Her updates and communication were very reassuring with many photos. She also kept our home very neat and clean, so that it was a pleasure to come home.”
“Samantha took great care of our cats and home while we were away. She arrived during the requested time frame and did everything we asked. Our cats were very happy upon our return home.”
“Danielle is amazing! The cats — including our skittish one — loved her. She really took the time to get to know them and learn how they wanted to be played with and loved. Thanks Danielle!”
About: I believe every cat deserves patient, gentle, and dependable care. I understand that each cat has its own personality and routine, so I take the time to earn their trust and make them feel comfortable in their own home. During each visit, I'll provide fresh food and water, clean the litter box, keep the area tidy, and spend time playing or quietly keeping your cat company—whatever they prefer. I carefully follow your instructions and send photo updates after every visit, so you can feel confident your cat is safe, happy, and well cared for.
“I’m very happy to have Rachel’s support again! My cat was able to be relaxed and enjoyed during the stay so that I could have worry-free trip! Thank you very much, Rachel!”
“Guilherme was great with our two cats, one of which needed daily liquid medication. We got prompt and frequent updates and pictures throughout the visits. Would easily recommend!”
“Caitlin was so great and helpful looking after our cats! She made sure they were well taken care of and had lots of play time. She also helped give our little cat her daily oral medication and made it easy to take our trip without worry. Definitely recommend Caitlin!”
About: I'm home for the summer and love taking care of cats. I grew up with two of my own back in Texas—Anastasia, a Chartreux, and Dimitri, who is a sweet orange cat. I completely understand everything they need, from feeding routines to keeping them entertained. I've also babysat cats for several neighbors over the last two years, so I know exactly how to keep them happy and comfortable while you're away!
“Ka Ying is pleasant, responsive, and patient. She gave me peace of mind during her visit with my cat, and handled instruction updates with grace. Highly recommend her for your dog or cat! Thanks again Ka Ying.”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I have years of professional pet care experience, including completing more than 400 dog walks, and I’ve cared for dogs of all different ages, sizes, breeds, personalities, and energy levels. I’m also a yoga and Pilates instructor, so staying active is a big part of my everyday life. I’m happy to take an energetic pup on a long, active walk, but I’m just as comfortable slowing things down for a senior dog or a pup who prefers to stop and sniff every few feet! Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I treat every animal with patience, affection, and attention to their individual needs. Whether your dog needs exercise, companionship, playtime, or simply someone dependable to keep them company, my goal is for them to feel happy, safe, and loved while they’re with me. I truly love animals and would be delighted to get to know yours! 🐾
About: Hello, my name is Austin! My family has had kitty cats since I was just a baby. I’ve always loved cats and had my precious girl, Riah, all through college and after. Would love to help take care of your cats and any special needs they might have!
About: I spent a year and a half working in the Comparative Medicine department at Stanford, so I'm comfortable with the more clinical side of pet care — administering medications, watching for subtle signs of illness, and staying calm in situations that might worry a less experienced sitter. Beyond the professional experience, I've been an animal person my whole life. I grew up with two cats and adopted my own, Ramen, in 2021 — she's happy, cuddly, and has taught me a lot about patience and reading an animal's mood. That mix of hands-on medical knowledge and genuine, lifelong love for animals means your pet gets both careful attention and real affection.
About: Hi, I’m Dawn and I’ve taken care of my relatives and friends’ cats for over 10 years. I've also been a pet parent to many different animals for more than 25 years and my experience and intuition allow me to understand their individual needs and provide them with the best care and most comfortable environment away from home, so rest assured that they are in good hands. Let’s chat!
“Silvana did a great job with our 2 cats! Came back to happy and well taken care of furbabies. Communication was prompt and smooth and we didn’t worry while we were gone. Thanks Silvana!”
About: I have two dogs at home, and I have always had pets in the house since I was born. My family and neighbors growing up relied on me to pet sit for them or walk my dogs with their dogs. I have taken care of my two dogs and cat when I had a cat since I was 13. I walked my first dog as a child too, so overall I have had about 11 years of experience taking care of pets. I am happy to bathe, walk, feed, play with, and hang out with pets of any kind, though I specialize in dogs and cats. I trained my dog Sidney with my parents, so I have experience in that as well. I love to be around animals of all kinds, and am so excited to meet your lovely pets! I am a student right now, so I am available during free periods that I have to drop by and take your pets out, but after 3:30PM everyday I have time to walk, feed, and bathe pets. I am free during the entire day on the weekends, and sometimes have days off. My summer availability will depend on my part-time job. I care for pets with a fun and lighthearted approach. I believe in the reward system because I think it's a good way for pets to feel good about themselves while still having fun. I make sure to look out for any preexisting problems with pets if that is an issue and to see them as individuals with their own personalities and needs. I have had animals with medical issues and I have adapted how I take care of them to fit their personal wants and needs in each moment. I am an empathetic person who can empathize with many different creatures, not just humans. Rest assured, I will be cautious and intentional with how I care for every pet I encounter.

“I was a bit nervous about leaving Tati with a new person all day (she has separation anxiety) but she did great! Manli has the gift and Tati enjoyed the other dogs, walks, and fun environment! I'll definitely book her again :)”
“Our dogs had a great time at Olga’s daycare! She sent us pictures during the day so we could see how much fun they were having! We will be asking Olga again to care for our dogs!”
“Marivel is kind and welcoming. Great communication from time of booking through our stay . Dependable. We trusted her to keep our senior Lilly after flying in from Texas to see our daughter’s musical at Stanford and again today for football game. Thank you.”
“Our puppy had such a great time with Ying! She was super attentive to all our puppy’s needs and sent lots of pictures. She was very responsive and answered all my questions. Her dog has also been a great playmate for our puppy, so they get lots of energy out too.”
“Margarita was amazing with my pup. She walked her twice, played with her, and was able to calm her down quickly after I dropped her off—my pup suffers from separation anxiety. She sent me photos of my pup throughout the visit. I highly, highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve walked dogs professionally and casually for friends and neighbors, and I’ve also fostered both dogs and cats, so I’m used to helping animals settle into new environments and routines. I also own large pets myself, so I’m very comfortable with bigger breeds, their energy, exercise needs, and handling. Whether it’s a high-energy dog who needs a good walk or a cat who just needs a calm, attentive presence, I know how to keep pets of all kinds happy and well cared for. I work part time, so I have flexible hours to fit pet care into my routine. I'm available most weekdays and weekends, and I can adjust my schedule for feeding, playtime, or check ins whenever your cat needs me. I can care for your cat in your home or mine, depending on what works best for you. My space is quiet and calm with no other pets or kids, so your cat can settle in without distractions. In your home, I follow your routines closely and keep things safe and familiar.
“We used Ana and Mark for a month, while our kitchen got remodeled. The were awesome: always trying to make the experience work for us and for our dog. They deeply care about dogs, are incredibly good natured and were clearly very kind, warm and caring with our dog.”
“We have used Renz several different times and he’s always been great! Pepper loves he and his partner and their sweeeeet dog, Whiskey. Renz is very easy to coordinate with, follows all my instructions, troubleshoots intelligently, is skilled in obedience training, and seems to really enjoy learning Pepper’s needs. He has access to a variety of dog parks and trails, including agility structures, so I know Pepper is always going to have fun and be stimulated. Highly recommend!”
“Stacey has been incredible with our little dog Coco. She has been extremely communicative and sent us lots of pictures during our time away. Coco loved her time hanging out with Stacey’s dogs and having lots of play time. Thank you so much Stacey, we’ll definitely be booking again!”
About: We’re an engaged couple looking for more time with pets! We’d love to give your pet extra care, companionship, and affection while you’re away or taking some time for yourself. We only care for one pet (or one family) at a time so your pet can get plenty of attention with us. As a couple, your pet gets double the care and companionship at no extra cost! We especially enjoy boarding pets in our home. We don’t have pets or children of our own. Our private fenced backyard allows for plenty of space to play. We go on 1–2 walks a day and would love to have your pet join us! We can’t wait to meet your furry family member and give them a home-away-from-home! 🐾🥰 One of our favorite things to do is go on walks together. We always joke and say we’re meant to have a pet, so we decided to do Rover! We have no pets or kids in our house and we plan to take care of one pet/family at a time so we can give them our full attention and make sure they are as comfortable as can be. We also have a private fenced backyard.
“Andrea is great. We did leave our dog Nala the first time with her. She did respond really quickly to our request and during the stay of Nala, Andrea did send us super cute photos and text messages. We are super happy to have found such a good dog sitter and we will definitely bring Nala again.”
About: I’m an experienced dog sitter who just relocated from San Francisco. I regularly watched a dog 3 times a week and can take up to 2 dogs at once. I've helped take care of my parents dog for 8 years since she was a puppy and I take her to the beach, for walks, to play at the dog park, and bathe her regularly. I work until 3pm so I have plenty of time in the afternoon to take pups out for walks. I love meeting new dogs and am used to high energy dogs. I am very comfortable around dogs and want your dog to be happy. I am very clean and want to be considerate of your space.
“Silvana took incredible care of my very anxious dog. He typically has separation anxiety and takes a while to get use to a new place, but she made him feel comfortable right away. She took him on walks, took him to the park to play with another dog he felt comfortable with, and made sure I was updated throughout the day with pictures and videos. When I went to pick him up he gave her kisses goodbye :) We absolutely will re-book with Silvana. Thank you, Silvana, for taking such great care of Jackson!”
About: I have grown up around dogs my whole life. I am well-versed in walking large and stubborn dogs such as Newfoundlands and Great Pyrenees. I have been a parent to Wells, a very high-energy Vizsla, for 5 years now. We did all our training ourselves and successfully trained a great loose-leash walker. I am eager to help other dogs learn this skill as well! I am working locums, so I am gone for 4 days twice a month and otherwise home and available the rest of the month. Open for walks and visits all day! If your dog is open to a play date, I have a very friendly, high-energy dog that would love to get his zoomies out with your pup. Open to going for long walks or nearby fenced-in dog parks.
“Odin had a great time, settled right in with the pack. Edward and Elisha are very communicative and provide lots of photos, they have been great to work with. Odin will definitely be going back for more fun!”
“Guilherme was spectacular with Sjofn. She is my service dog and use to always being with someone. I could tell that he spent the whole day giving her lots of petting and attention because she showed no stress and was happy to listen to him when I saw her. I will definitely have Guilherme watch her again”
About: I grew up with the sweetest Shih Tzu in the world named Dak (a small computer chip). And I think my style of pet care came from taking care of him. I was attentive and gave him lots of love. He loved driving in the car with me, actually :) I have been pet sitting for friends and on other platforms for over 5 years in their homes. And I took care of a neighbor's bird way back in high school. For the most part I have specialized in cats and small to medium dogs. I also have a calm spirit that many animals are drawn to. So we can chill together for a long time. In addition, I'm responsible and respectful, caring and considerate not only for pets but also for owner's homes. I am able to communicate well and clearly and can problem solve to resolve any situation which might arise. In short, I have the know-how to be able to feed, entertain, clean up after, and love cats and dogs and their living spaces. And I can communicate well to their parents to keep them safe and happy while mom and dads are away. I currently work part-time teaching English online. I also am writing my doctoral dissertation. This means I am home a lot and very happy to spend lots of time with pets, even at my desk with me or curled up on the sofa. I strictly watch pets in their own homes. Firstly, because I am missionary and I've been staying temporarily in my parents house in North Carolina and now here with my brother in Palo Alto. Secondly, because I think pets are much happier if they can stay in their own homes and in familiar surroundings.

“Cameron took great care of Mabel and Milton! Cameron is really easy to work with - he came on time and kept us updated at all times. We will definitely have him care for our dogs in the future and we recommend him to others!”
“Meg did such a great job taking walking our two dogs, one an eager puppy and our cranky older 6-year old. We appreciated Meg’s willingness to meet our pups prior to booking. She updated me with pictures during her visit and showed up within the desired time frame to walk our pups. We will definitely be using Meg in the future.”
About: I’m a student looking to help out with some local pet care and housesitting while i’m home for the summer. I’m vegan, I live alone, and I genuinely love animals and have a lot of flexibility with my schedule so I'm more than happy to keep your pets company, stick to their regular routines, daily walks, and make sure everything is taken care of. I'll always send plenty of photo updates too so you know they're doing great. I've taken care of dogs and cats for neighboring families and friends for many years, so I'm super comfortable handling pets with various different personalities and needs. I’m home for the summer and my schedule is incredibly open and flexible right now. Since I don't work a job, I have plenty of free time during the week and on weekends to hang out with your pets, stick to their routines, and make sure they're taken care of as if they are my own. Safety is the main thing for me. I always double-check locks and gates, follow whatever feeding or walking instructions you leave, and keep a close eye on them. I've watched dogs and cats for family and friends for the past two years, so I know what kind of things can go wrong and how to keep everyone happy and safe.
About: Hi, I’m Dawn and I have been a pet parent for over 25 years to rabbits, guinea pigs and 4 dogs with 2 of them of senior age.

About: I’ve grown up with Labrador Retrievers my whole life and got my very first puppy when I was 15. More recently, I brought home a French Bulldog, and it’s been such a joy watching him grow from a tiny puppy into the sweet, fun 1-year-old he is now! Having pets has always been a big part of my life, and I truly love caring for them I work from home so I am usually pretty available! I do have a lot of virtual calls so I cannot usually do last minute walks but can plan around my day! I am completely free after 3:30 PM everyday. I have a French bulldog who loves to play and spends a lot of his time cuddled up with us. We also have a huge patio that is fenced in and a dog area to let them roam around and play.
“Danielle had been such a great source of support for walking my dog when I have been traveling. She is so communicative and goes above and beyond to help and I can’t ask for a better person to take care of my dog when I am away.”
“Natasha is great! She took the time to really understand my dog’s health issues and made sure she knew what to do in the event of a seizure. He seems happy and relaxed with her right away. All smiles in the pictures I got from his report card. I’ll definitely be booking her again!”

About: I have trained puppies with tremendous success over the last 45 years for the specific purpose and task required in accordance with the particular breed. They are an interictal part of my daily existence. I thoroughly enjoy their devotion and accompaniment. Dogs love to be around me. I love them. When I do home care for dogs I reassure them that all is the same in their environment. They feel save and secure. They relax.

About: I am taking a break from work and have the time to house sit and check in as well as board. I have done Rover for a few years now and have worked at dog boarding facilities. I am able to walk your fur babies in the morning and in the evening. I have experience with medication and injections for whom are needed. I have starting training experience and hope to learn more while watching my fur child Ruffles grow and enjoy life. It is true that Each pet has his/her own characteristics, so I try to find way to connect and gain there trust in anyway I can. I understand all pets have different characteristics and I will do everything possible to get to know your pet. I understood pets are a huge part of our familyand that is how they will be treated with love, understanding and compassion. Pets are truly men's best friend, and one that is always there to make our life so much exciting and fun. I can say at the moment I am able to fit any pet into mine and my own pet’s routine! Ruffles gets along with children , any size 🐶 dog and adults! I am trying to board only one pet at a time with my own pet at home just to be in the safer side. However, once your pet is at my home, he or she becomes part of the family instantly. They are allowed on top of furniture. My Ruffles is a non-caged dog but I do own a cage.

“This was my first time using Rover service. I was worried in the first. But Manli and his husband were very nice to my dogs and very responsive. They sent me pictures of the dogs everyday and kept us posted all the time. The husband even slept on couch to take care of my dogs since they barked at the new environment in the night. Will definitely use them again in the future.”
“Marivel took really good care of Mezcal and sent us a lot of updates throughout the stay. She kept him with dogs his size and he enjoyed that a lot. Thank you Marivel for taking care of our lil guy.”
“Margarita took very good care of Buddy and kept us updated with photos and videos throughout his stay, which we really appreciated! It was nice to see how he was doing and know he was being well cared for. We would gladly trust her with Buddy again in the future.”
“Ying provided a fantastic boarding experience for 16 days for my dog. She took my dog for at least two walks per day, played fetch with her every day, and also took her on a longer hike. She sent me extensive updates three times per day with numerous photos and videos. The detailed information allowed me to see that my dog was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Ying’s dog Charlie is also incredibly gentle and calm, and although my dog is often anxious around other dogs, they became great friends. While I was away, my dog also developed some irritation in her paws, likely due to pre-existing allergies. Ying informed me promptly and treated the problem effectively per my instructions, and her paws were completely healed by the time I returned to pick her up. I highly recommend Ying for boarding and I won’t hesitate to use her again the next time I travel.”
“This was Shiloh's second time at Guillermo' and Siobhan's home. Guillermo has great vibes and Shiloh comes home fulfilled and tired. We couldn't ask for more!”
“Jifu was great with our 10-months old golden doodle puppy. He stayed for a week. It was our first time boarding and we were very nervous - but were reassured by the great communication and daily updates. We highly recommend Jifu!”
“My Border-Aussie (7.5 yrs old) stayed with Kimmy, Jesse and Tycho for 5 nights and 6 days (while I was 400 miles away with my kids). How can I describe their care? Heroic. Yes, heroic. My pup had not stayed at Rover or away from family in about 3 years - and had always had a great time at Rover hosts. This time he apparently decided to express separation anxiety with loss of use of rear legs and bowels for two days! Kimmy and Jesse were sending photos and text every few hours while I tried to get a mobile vet there (they don’t do emergencies it turns out). But we started to reason that all didn’t make sense based on timing! They got a lifting harness and diapers and were on full time watch. But I most regret the anxiety and worry they went through. By day 3 he was up and about and day 5 and 6 having a grand old time. Conclusion? Border Drama - yup it’s a thing. He does have some intermittent weakness in right rear leg but this was a true performance which they handled with so much compassion toward Jango and grace toward me. I literally do not know any friends or neighbors who could have handled situation better or who I could have trusted more. I’ve owned Border Collies for over 25 years and this was a new one even for me! They are exceptional folks who genuinely love dogs and are a blessing. They even took a photo they gave to me of Jango with the caption “Best Drama King” lol. Thku Kimmy, Jesse and Tycho!”
“We had a last minute trip come up a week before leaving but Daniel was available and happy to watch Bean on short notice. He was knowledgeable, knew exactly what to do, and sent pictures and videos of Bean during the 2 day stay. We knew Bean was in great hands - he looked comfortable and like he had a great time with Daniel.”
“Grace is beyond amazing! She is extremely communicative, consistently giving us updates and pictures of Valentina. Very loving and kind towards our dog gave her really nice attention and daily walks. Great!”
“Farah and Tommy did a fantastic job taking care of our Chiweenie, Miso, on short notice this weekend. We were incredibly busy, and it was such a relief knowing she was in good hands. They provided excellent communication throughout her stay, sending regular updates and checking in about her quirks to ensure everything was normal. Miso clearly received plenty of quality attention and affection. We will definitely book with them again and highly recommend their services. Thank you both!”
“Anniruda & Isha watched our senior dog Zephyr. At intake Anniruda was very thorough with questions about our doggo. They went out of their way to ensure Zephyr’s comfort during her stay. She was all tuckered out by the time we picked her up. Thank you for providing such diligent care to our dog!”

“We had a very busy weekend where our Chaweenie, Miso, would have had to be alone for large stretches, or travel non-stop in a car all day. So we decided to find a "surrogate family" for the weekend. Shobi, her husband, and girls took great care of her. When I picked her up, she seemed relaxed and happy. We will for sure book more stays with Shobi and her lovely family!”
“Margaret and her dogs welcomed Quincy, our labradoodle, as a temporary member of their pack. It was great for him to be with other dogs and a very dog-savvy human. Margaret’s very observant, very caring and ready to help new dogs learn good behaviors. We hope Quincy will be able to stay with her in the future.”
“Peanut had his trial day with Shannon today and everything went great. She took wonderful care of him, kept us updated with lots of photos, and made us feel very comfortable the whole time. We could see that he was happy and well cared for. We will definitely book with her again in the future”
“My foster dog Baby had a wonderful stay with Tanya and her daughter. Their home is basically doggy heaven, and Baby enjoyed the huge lawn and tons of love and care accordingly. Baby looks forward to her next visit!”
