“Michael was fantastic! This was our first Rover experience - we usually have a dog sitter - abs everything was great. Our dog had a great time. Michael kindly sent multiple photos every day. We will definitely come back🐶”
“Meerim & Saumya were amazing, and I cannot recommend them highly enough! They took care of our dog Bailey for 2 weeks and the entire experience was exceptional. It was clear they treated her like family. Meerim & Saumya were attentive, loving, and thoughtful in every aspect of her care. Bailey was comfortable in their home and we received plenty of photos and updates! When she was picked up, Bailey was relaxed, happy, and clearly had a wonderful time, which says everything! I would happily trust them with Bailey again.”
“Kelly took great care of Lucky. He seemed very happy after his time with her and even as we were getting back in the car he went to the end of his leash to get one more look before she left. Highly recommend Kelly!”
“once again, a fabulous stay for my pup Jessie. I am completely at ease about her well-being when she is with Jennifer. My only concern is that Jessie won't want to come home with me, as life is so good with Jennifer and her son.”
“This was our first time with Mora, so I was a little nervous at first because my dog can be a little nervous at times. Actually, she quickly warmed up and seemed to really enjoy her time there. She took her on a nice trail walk, and the photos showed how happy she was. Thank you for taking such great care of her.”
“I highly recommend Ying for anyone seeking a reliable and attentive pet sitter. She was incredibly thorough, followed every detailed instruction perfectly, and kept me at ease with regular photos and videos. One of my dogs bonded with her immediately, which is the ultimate endorsement. I couldn't have asked for a more professional or caring experience!”
“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!”
“Manli was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Molly. She was flexible and understanding when our return was delayed, which we really appreciated. She also sent lots of adorable photo updates, and it was clear that Molly felt right at home. She got along so well with the other dogs, and we felt completely at ease knowing she was in such a caring environment. Highly recommend!”
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!”
“Lamija took really good care of our dog for an entire week, providing one-on-one care and attention. She is very sweet and responsive, and sent daily photos and updates. We will definitely leave our dog with Lamija again!”
“Kimmy and Jesse are simply the best. They take such great care of my dog, give him lots of love and play time. They went above and beyond when my dog had some GI issues for a few days. Their communication is excellent. Thank you guys for everything!”

“Had to leave my 6-month fur ball for the evening. On just a few days notice, Margaret asked great questions about my dogs background and made sure we’d all be comfortable. My dog got great care, got some additional training practice, and had a friend- all of which was documented in photos that she shared with me during and after the visit. Thanks so much and we can’t wait to visit again.”
“Michael is very professional, knows what he does, and Muffin liked him from the first moment they've met. I was receiving regular updates throughout Muffin's stay and was given a comprehensive summary of Muffin's behavior and health at the check-out. Can only recommend.”

“We have hired many sitters from Rover over the years but Allison was absolutely the best! Wow! Our cat loved her so much, she sent fun photos every day, and kept us updated on how things were going at home. Highly recommend!!”
“Emma was friendly, attentive, communicative, and professional. Most importantly, she got along with our kitties. Would definitely book again and recommend to anyone who is looking for someone to watch their furry children in the future.”
“Michael was amazing. He understood every ask I gave of him, even those that were conditional on what he saw at our house. He made sure to give my cat the full time, and never let her out of his sight while he was with her. I would happily book him again to take care of my cat”
About: I've cat sat for friends with cats of various ages. I know how to play with and engage with more energetic, young cats but also enjoy sitting and petting calmer cats. I know some cats take a while to warm up to a new person, and I never crowd or corner!
“Rachel took a great care of our cat during our long travel! I loved getting daily pictures from her. She also kindly agreed to look after our plants which we’re very thankful about!!”
“Jess is awesome! Incredibly attentive, responsive and caring. My kitty is older and needs lots of affection- he didn’t even seem to notice I was gone with Jess coming to care for him. I cannot recommend her highly enough!! Thank you Jess for being such a wonderful cat sitter for Carl!”
“Meg did such a great job with our senior cat - she was available and enthusiastic to work with us even on a holiday weekend, and we came back to a happy and healthy kitty! Thank you Meg!”
About: Lifelong cat lover and current cat owner that provides reliable and loving cat care. As a fellow Rover user I understand how important it is to have a trustworthy caregiver for cats while away. I provide attentive care tailored to your cat’s routine, including feeding, litter cleaning, playtime, cuddles, and daily photo updates. My current career in the medical field allows me to have multiple days off each week and allows me to have a flexible schedule for drop in visits. I tailor my drop in visits to your cat’s needs and desires. I love to provide play time with their favorite toys and cuddles. If your cat is more shy I let them take the lead. I am happy to provide them with some human interaction while you’re away.
About: I am an avid cat sitter for my friends and have experience cat/house sitting for longer time periods (1 week) to weekend check-ins and play dates. I do not have experience with training or working with animals with disabilities and, in general, am currently building my sitting experience. That being said, I am eager to learn and understand the gravity of caring for one’s pet. I will work with you to the best of my ability to ensure your pet has a comfortable experience!
“Savannah did such an awesome job with my cat. She took plenty of pictures, followed all my instructions, and was super patient with my cat who is shy and not great with strangers. Highly recommend her for any pet care needs!”
“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.”
“Rachel was wonderful housesitting our very senior kitty. Her reports were not only very detailed but also full of love and warmth for our kitty. We also really appreciate that she is comfortable giving medications and keeping an eye out for basic senior issues. This is the first time we’ve left our 19 yr old kitty in a year, but we knew he was in great hands with Rachel. We can’t recommend her enough.”
“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!”
“Natalie was absolutely wonderful!! My girls (Romy and Michele, two very felonious felines) immediately warmed up to her and she loved them as if they were her own. Natalie was exceptionally communicative, took many pictures, and it was clear that she genuinely enjoyed being with my girls. I will DEFINITELY be using Natalie again, and I cannot recommend her in the strongest enough terms to any cat parent!”
“Kimberly was incredibly responsible and communicative. Emmy (my siamese mutt) is an excellent judge of character and when I arrived home she was in excellent spirits, having obviously received a tremendous amount of attention and love. I will absolutely be working with Kimberly again, and I would encourage you to do the same -- she's terrific!”
“Alexis took amazing care of our cat Cooper while we were away for two weeks! Cooper fell in love with Alexis right away, and we came back from our trip to find him happy and relaxed. We really appreciated the detailed Rover cards and the sweet pictures every day.”
“Emma was amazing to have over! She was very quick to respond, very profession and super nice. She even was able to give my senior diabetic cat his insulin for me Very reliable and was on time”
“John was so kind and attentive with Max everyday during his stay. He was absolutely flexible adapting his apartment for Max big size and all his belongings (litter, scratchers, food containers, carrier, blankets, toys), so Max would have a less stressful stay. John was effectively communicating with us, and always willing to do his best to ensure Max will have a great time and we will know as much as possible about Max’s last updates. We are really thankful with John for taking care of Max, following his food and water routine over the heat wave, for cleaning his eyes and for sending us all the pictures and updates every day, so we will enjoy our short trip knowing Max was safe and happy. Thank you so much John, we’ll see you next time! Blessings from the 3 of us!”

“It was Coco’s first day with Edward and Rusty. He seemed to have had a great day playing with his new buddy. He was clearly very comfortable being there. I appreciate all pictures Edward sent throughout the day, and the prompt communication. I’d love to leave Coco with him more often :)”
“Best sitter we've ever encountered for our dog with many needs for her happiness. Well she came home so happy and better yet tired from all the walks which takes a lot. He kept sending us photos of her so we knew she was having a great time. He really understood our dog for not only the needs but her wants. So lucky to have found him.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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”
“Thank you so much to Christina and Joseph for accepting my last minute request. They hosted my puppy in their home and she had such a fun time that she would cry every time we would leave. I also appreciated your flexibility with pick up times. Thank you for allowing my puppy to explore, play with your pup Laker and for taking such great care of her!!”
“Jessica was fantastic with Ollie! She took great care of him even though he wasn’t feeling well and had intricate care instructions. She is very punctual and communicative. Would definitely book with her again!”
About: I’m a dog-loving neighbor and Bernedoodle parent who enjoys caring for pups like family. I work from home and live in a cozy house with a fenced backyard, near plenty of green spaces and school fields for walks. My middle school kids and friendly Bernedoodle love having dog guests around—we’ll make sure your pup feels safe, loved, and right at home! I work from home, so I’m around all day to keep your pup company. Our routine usually includes morning and evening walks around the neighborhood or nearby parks, giving the dogs plenty of exercise and sniff time. During the day, they hang out with me in the house or relax in our fenced backyard—napping, playing, or just keeping me company while I work. It’s a calm, happy environment with lots of love and attention throughout the day. Your dog’s comfort and safety are always my top priority. Our home is a single-family house with a securely fenced backyard where dogs can play safely under supervision. Indoors, dogs are welcome to roam freely, nap on comfy spots, and be part of our daily life. I take time to understand each dog’s needs and routine—whether it’s feeding schedule, favorite toys, or quiet time preferences—so they can settle in smoothly. I also keep a close eye on playtime to make sure all dogs feel comfortable and relaxed. With my friendly Bernedoodle and caring middle-school kids, your pup will be surrounded by gentle company, calm energy, and plenty of affection. You can trust that they’ll be cared for just like one of our own.
“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: 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.
“Simply the best, Luna loved her time with Rhea! Rhea was very attentive to Luna's needs. Rhea was an amazing communicator and shared photos of Luna throughout the day. Another big plus qith Rhea was her flexibilty to accomodate my timeline with a rather early drop off. Will definitely use Rhea in the future, thanks so much!”
“I’m so thankful to Maggie for taking care of my pup when I needed a last-minute sitter! She was responsive and sent me updates throughout the day, and my fur baby took to her very well. Amazing experience!”
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!”
“Courtney took such great care of Otto! She sent me lots of pictures throughout the day and even gave him a bath for me! He came come squeaky clean, happy, and tired.”
About: We’re an engaged couple living in East Palo Alto and looking for more opportunities to spend quality time with animals! We’ve been trusted dog and cat sitters for friends and family for years, and recently decided to give Rover a try. We’d love to provide your pet with extra love, attention, and care while you’re away or taking some time for yourself. We can’t wait to meet your furry family member! 🥰 One of our favorite things to do is go on walks together. We always joke and say we’re meant to have a pet, and we’re sure we will have our own one day. We walk daily during our lunch breaks and each evening after work. We’d love to take your pet with us! We live in a house with a private fenced backyard. 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.

“Jordan was phenomenal with our dog! From the initial meet-and-greet to the end of the sit, she was thoroughly professional, dependable, and communicative. She followed all feeding and care instructions to the letter and constantly went above and beyond to make sure our pup felt comfortable, loved, and engaged. The updates and photos she sent gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog and could not recommend Jordan highly enough. We’ll definitely be booking her again!”
“We have booked with Michael several times now. He is so reliable and easy to work with. I have one senior dog and two younger ones. All of them were given enough care and attention. Even one of them enjoyed “hide & seek” right before a walk, Michael didn’t message us immediately (would’ve panicked us because we’d thought he is missing 😂) but followed this little one’s ritual and patiently and playfully guided him downstairs to start the walk. It’s all these small actions from Michael made us dog parents can really be enjoying our trips while left our babies in such a good hand. Thank you!!”
About: Hi! I’m Ally, an animal lover with professional animal care experience ranging from pet boarding facilities to the Oakland Zoo. My approach is calm, attentive, patient, and individualized to each animal. Animals have always been a central part of my life. I became vegetarian as a child because of my love for animals, and that value continues to guide both my personal and professional life today. Professionally, I previously worked at a pet boarding facility where I handled client communication, maintained veterinary and care records, administered medications, monitored feeding and intake, and provided daily hands-on animal care. I also worked as a Zookeeper Aide at the Oakland Zoo, where I helped prepare specialized diets and support daily animal care operations in a fast-paced environment. I’m currently completing a Master’s degree in Environmental Health Sciences at Columbia University, so I’m especially detail-oriented, responsible, communicative, and reliable. What You Can Expect From Me: -Reliability, reliability, reliability! ☺️ -Regular communication, updates, and photos -Calm, patient handling style -Attention to detailed feeding and care instructions -Lots of affection, play, and individualized attention Previous Experience: -Zookeeper Aide at Oakland Zoo -Behavioral Health worker at a California primate center -Animal care work at research centers -Wildlife rehabilitation and sanctuary volunteer experience -Pet sitting experience with a wide range of pet breeds and personalities -Pet First Aid and CPR certified I'm currently working remotely on my capstone project to finish my Master's degree, which means my schedule is quite flexible to care for your fur babies! I do have my own cat so I need to take his own care into account when considering bookings. I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and consistent environment for every pet in their own home. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication, routines, and household rules while paying close attention to behavior, appetite, and overall wellbeing. I understand that every animal has a different comfort level and personality, so I approach each pet with patience, attentiveness, and respect for their space and routine.
About: I grew up with tons of pets and have pet sit for friends and family in the past. I am restarting my pet sitting but have been volunteering with a local cat rescue for the last 4 years on a weekly basis. I can provide exercise, play time, food, and administer medications. I have my own cat and know how special and important pets are as members of the family. I work full time from home for a non profit and am luckily that my schedule is fairly flexible so I can easily pop over to facilitate a walk or check in on pets. It’s important to me to learn the typical routine and structures in place for pets and then try my best to maintain those for a pets comfort and ease of transition in having a petsitter. Safety inside and out is important, especially going on a walk.
“Savannah is great with Goose. She is also excellent at communicating. We appreciate her help with walking Goose while we were away. We hope we can book with Savannah again in the future.”
About: Dogs have been part of my life since I was 10. I've cared for everything from toy breeds to large breeds, and neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me for years to walk, feed, play with, and check in on their pets. Every size and energy level is welcome here, including puppies and senior dogs, and I'm happy to give oral medications on schedule (I don't administer injections). Safety comes first: dogs stay leashed on walks, your instructions get followed to the letter, and I make a point of knowing where the nearest emergency vet is. My afternoons are flexible, which makes me a great fit for midday and after-work walks and drop-in visits. You'll hear from me on every single visit - photos, our GPS-tracked route, distance covered, and notes on how your dog did, because I'd want that same peace of mind. Let's set up a quick Meet & Greet so your pup and I can get acquainted first. My afternoons are flexible, so weekday middays and after-work hours are when I'm most available for walks and drop-in visits, and weekends are wide open. I keep my Rover calendar updated daily and reply to messages within minutes. For regular clients, I'm glad to hold a standing weekly slot on the same days and times each week so your dog's routine stays predictable. Most of my care happens in your home, so respecting your space comes first. Written instructions get followed exactly, doors and gates stay secured, everything is left the way I found it, and your address and entry details are never shared with anyone. On walks, dogs stay leashed the entire time, I stick to routes I know well, bring water on warm days, and check paws and coat afterward. Before the first visit I make sure I have your vet's contact information and the location of the nearest emergency clinic. After every visit you'll get photos and a written recap, so you always know exactly how your dog is doing.
“Emma was amazing with our dog, he always seemed relaxed and happy when we came home after his walk with Emma. She was communicative and flexible and we really appreciated her kind care of our dog!”
“Genevieve was super friendly & easy to work with! Did a meet & greet before, which got my dog comfortable with her. She was on time & communicative before & during the walk! Will definitely rebook”
About: 🔆Welcome to a small part of my life I started by taking care of my neighbors’ pets as a hobby, which helped me discover how much I enjoy this work. Later, I found the Rover app, where I saw a great opportunity to care for and meet dogs of different breeds. Currently, I have two years of experience providing love and care to pets as if they were part of my family. I deeply love animals and have always felt a special connection with them. I carry my dog, Cejas, who passed away, in my heart forever, and her memory inspires me to provide the best care to the pets that come into my home. I’m passionate about caring for pets with special needs, whether it’s administering medications or providing appropriate therapies for their physical and mental well-being.

“Courtney is very professional, thoughtful and gentle, with my energetic Golden Retriever. She helped us in an over heat week. She planned routes with shade, and kept a very close eye to the dog during the walks. We will definitely book again!”
“Excellent communication and attention to the weather to avoid overheating Ceara's paws. Ceara was calm, happy and well exercised when we returned. G. was pleasant and professional.”
About: My passion for pets and commitment to their well-being, have helped me acquire invaluable experience caring for dogs of all ages and temperaments. From energetic puppies who can’t get enough playtime to seniors who prefer a cozy spot by the window, I tailor my approach to meet each dog's unique needs. I understand the importance of routine, which is why I prioritize punctual feeding and walking schedules. For many dogs, these moments are the highlights of their day, and I strive to make every experience enjoyable and fulfilling. Whether it’s hiking for the adventurous or gentle leash walks for those who like to take it easy, I’m dedicated to ensuring their happiness and comfort during their time apart from their owners. Additionally, I'm attentive to the emotional needs of pets who require extra affection and support. I take pride in creating a nurturing environment that helps ease their anxiety and keeps them engaged and content while their family is away. With my pet care experience, you can trust that your furry family members will receive the love, attention, and care they deserve! My schedule allows me to be flexible enough to adapt to your pets schedule! Thursday nights are when I'm on a tighter schedule but I'm glad to talk this over! I make sure to make their time away from you as close to their daily routine as possible. I make sure to know their likes and dislike to make them feel as safe and comfortable as possible. There are some dogs that do not feel good in loud and busy areas. So I make sure to go on walk them in quieter places. Also, if I am house sitting some prefer to co-sleep and I am comfortable doing so. Every pet care experience is catered to your and your pets liking :)
“Maxim did a great job with Paris and Cupcake. They were a bit frightened on the meet and greet and barked, but Maxim was patient and gained their trust. He took them for a walk every visit and fed them homemade dog food. He played with them, giving them extra play time. I would definitely use Maxim again.”

About: I grew up in a multiple pet family; taking care of the cats, ducks and family dog. Over the last couple decades I have rescued animals including my cat 20 years ago. I have also enjoyed caring for my friends and family animals while away, and any stray wildlife that comes my way too:) Right now I am working to start a resin company, and have a very flexible schedule. My care schedule for my animals is structured but flexible, so we can work with many different demands, my cat communicates surprisingly well :) I follow whatever instructions are given before and during visits, care and safety are of the utmost importance. If there is ever a question, I do really love communication so I'm asking and my ears are always perked!
“Chris was an excellent dog walker and took great care of my 10 mo old, 70 pound 'puppy'! Chris was incredibly prompt and responsive in all our communications, and he even proactively checked in a few days in advance to confirm timing which I really appreciate. Most importantly my dog had a great time with him! I would highly recommend Chris!”

“once again, a fabulous stay for my pup Jessie. I am completely at ease about her well-being when she is with Jennifer. My only concern is that Jessie won't want to come home with me, as life is so good with Jennifer and her son.”
“I highly recommend Ying for anyone seeking a reliable and attentive pet sitter. She was incredibly thorough, followed every detailed instruction perfectly, and kept me at ease with regular photos and videos. One of my dogs bonded with her immediately, which is the ultimate endorsement. I couldn't have asked for a more professional or caring experience!”
“Manli was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Molly. She was flexible and understanding when our return was delayed, which we really appreciated. She also sent lots of adorable photo updates, and it was clear that Molly felt right at home. She got along so well with the other dogs, and we felt completely at ease knowing she was in such a caring environment. Highly recommend!”
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!”
“Lamija took really good care of our dog for an entire week, providing one-on-one care and attention. She is very sweet and responsive, and sent daily photos and updates. We will definitely leave our dog with Lamija again!”
“Kimmy and Jesse are simply the best. They take such great care of my dog, give him lots of love and play time. They went above and beyond when my dog had some GI issues for a few days. Their communication is excellent. Thank you guys for everything!”
About: Lifelong dog lover with experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds. I have a well-trained, friendly companion dog and a large backyard for plenty of outdoor time and bathroom breaks. I enjoy long walks and trips to the dog park, and I’m happy to provide patient, attentive care, including basic training reinforcement and extra playtime. Reliable, caring, and committed to keeping your pup safe and happy. I work from home and make my own schedule, so I will be able to focus on your pup during their visit! I will be available daily from 9am - 6pm and can offer after hours or overnight if needed. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog of my own for company. My daughter is also an animal lover and loves to give belly rubs!
“Had to leave my 6-month fur ball for the evening. On just a few days notice, Margaret asked great questions about my dogs background and made sure we’d all be comfortable. My dog got great care, got some additional training practice, and had a friend- all of which was documented in photos that she shared with me during and after the visit. Thanks so much and we can’t wait to visit again.”
“Michael is very professional, knows what he does, and Muffin liked him from the first moment they've met. I was receiving regular updates throughout Muffin's stay and was given a comprehensive summary of Muffin's behavior and health at the check-out. Can only recommend.”
“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!”
“Joy was both skillful and easygoing when we left our dog Lila with her and her family. I got photos of Lila snuggling on the sofa, and Joy had a great outdoor space for her dogs and mine to play.”
“Great experience leaving my dog Clyde with Mel and his family. Very responsive to messages and great with the updates and videos. Wouldn’t hesitate to send Clyde over again… Not sure he will want to come home though 😁”
About: Hi! Thank you for considering me and trusting me with your pup. As a fellow pawrent, I know how stressful it can be to find someone reliable, especially when something comes up at the last minute. My goal is to have a trusted place for fellow doodle families that your pup is excited to go back to and to give you complete peace of mind when it comes to leaving them. I’ll send regular photo updates so you can see how your pup is settling in and doing throughout their stay. My husband (Peter) and I both work from home, so your fur baby will have company throughout the day. We are available for boarding during weekdays and weekends. To make sure every pup gets the attention they deserve, we will only host 1–2 dogs at a time. Your pup will enjoy walks around our quiet neighborhood and also have the company of our friendly doodle, who is respectful with other dogs and happy to play or simply lounge depending on their energy.
“A was so kind to our pup, Napa. We appreciate her flexibility, knowledge, and fun personality. Napa looked forward to seeing her. She's conveniently located near Stanford, so she's a great fit for anyone visiting the hospital. I will definitely be a repeat customer.”
“Daniel was wonderful! He was communicative, sent us regular updates, and was flexible with us. We hit traffic on our way to pick up and he was understanding and kind about it. Our babies seemed so happy and at home with him. We would definitely rebook with him in the future.”
“Shannon was absolutely wonderful with Dobby. I was able to relax on my vacation knowing my dog was having a vacation of his own with Apollo. She gave frequent updates with plenty of photos and was very communicative during the stay. I couldn’t recommend her enough.”
