“Angelica and her daughter are so wonderful! My Brownie apparently was so well behaved but I thank that in part to her being kept so busy 😆 They had nothing but wonderful things to say about her. She gave me photo updates of Brownie so I can rest assured. They did everything that was asked for her routine and lots of love and attention. I highly reccommed her services. Thank you so much again. Definitely will be back.”
“We had a great experience with Junyao. She was attentive, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure our dog was comfortable and well cared for. She went above and beyond by taking him on outings so he could get out of the house and stay active. She also brushed him regularly, and we could tell he was well cared for. We especially appreciated the thoughtful photo updates, she captured some really sweet moments and gave us peace of mind while we were away. We’re excited to use her again in the near future knowing that our Reese will be happy and safe!!”
“Josie is amazing! My pup had a great time with her while I was away on vacation. I think he had a better time than I did! Josie is very responsive and sends daily updates with the best photos. I will definitely rebook with Josie again.”
“Charlie had a great time with Janice and her boys. Lots of play time and cuddles. And she checked in with me often, sending lots of photos and video while I was away. I’ll happily bring Charlie again!”
“I'm so thankful for the excellent care Diana provided to my dogs. She sends me daily updates, my dogs looked very happy around her, her husband and their dogs. I'm so happy that I choose Diana to care for my dogs. I heartly recommend Diana to anyone that needs to leave their dogs in the care of someone. In the future, I'll leave my dogs with Diana knowing that she'll provide the best care and they will be happy in her care.”
“Adrienne and Mike were a great team in caring for Sadie, our 14 pound 7 year old cockapoo. Sadie is a bit timid and has only stayed with one previous caregiver. So a 16 day stay was a concern as Sadie is very attached to her two human parents. Adrienne and Mike helped prepare Sadie to know we would be coming back for her by offering two complimentary stay overs, 2 hours each, for Sadie to get used to them and their home and to know we would be coming back to pick her up. Sadie has always been hand fed and Adrienne had no problem in realizing that on her own and accomodating Sadie's special need. In interviewing different care givers we found that not all caregivers let you see the actual inside of the home where their pup will be staying. But this was no problem for Adrienne and Mike. We also liked that they were a 2 person team so if one of them came down ill, there would always be a back-up. We definately recommend this two person team to others. Thank you Adrienne and Mike !”
“We had a great experience with Eric. He is kind & easy going, kept me updated with photos& videos, attentive to my senior dog ‘s needs & followed care instructions, including giving medications AM& PM. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a sitter in the area.”
“Victor and Haijin are our go-to Rover family—whether it’s a quick weekend getaway or a longer vacation, we always trust them with our pup, Hippo. Honestly, it’s like a vacation for Hippo too! He gets to hang out with so many dog friends, and every time I check the updates, I see them playing fetch, running around outside, and lounging indoors with plenty of space to roam. Their home is so welcoming and dog-friendly—every pup there looks genuinely happy. What really speaks volumes is that when I go to pick up Hippo, he actually tries to walk back inside to keep playing. That’s how much he loves it there! Victor and Haijin are incredibly caring, and it gives us total peace of mind knowing Hippo is in such good hands. Highly, highly recommend!”
“This was our first time leaving Lucky with anyone. We met sherice and her kids before we left for our trip. They made us feel very comfortable . Lucky was very happy and so were we . I would definitely use them again. Since I can't give them more than five stars I'll add my own. 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟”
“Jing was amazing! She was able to accommodate us at short notice and communicated with us very frequently! Our dog Brax seemed super happy and comfortable! We will definitely book her again! ☺️🐾”
About: Lived in a multi-dog household for over 15 years providing care to pups of all ages (newborn puppies to seniors). Experienced in puppy care, senior care, medication administration, and rescue pups needing a little extra attention as they're getting adjusted to their new furrever homes. Although I don't personally provide training, I've had experience in going through training for our own pups and can support in maintaining the training that you have already in place. Guests are provided with care full-time. I'm available throughout the week and are generally flexible with pick up and drop off times. Though there may be some slight adjustments to the our daily routine, a general idea of our schedule for boarding consists of.. 6:30am potty break and playtime 7am breakfast and continued playtime 8:30am lounge/nap time Potty breaks every 3-4 hours 12:00pm -2:00pm Afternoon playtime some time during this time frame if the weather permits 5:30pm-7:00pm dinner around this time frame Evening play until 7:30pm-8pm 11:00pm for a final potty break We live in a fenced home that is double gated with a large spacious backyard. Guests are only allowed outside when there is human supervision. Guests are welcome to wrestle and play chase; however, if we do see there is an escalation in energy levels then we do a quick reset and separate guests for several minutes before returning to a lower energy of play behavior.
“We cannot properly express our gratitude to Lawrence for watching our pup while we were out of town. He did an amazing job - followed the care instructions, took our pup for walks and trips to the dog park, gave him lots of love and attention, and communicated with us daily. We were happy to see the photos and videos showing how much fun our pup was having - it gave us peace of mind knowing how well cared for he was. Thank you, thank you, thank you Lawrence and Lynn! We appreciate you so much!!”
“Rique is such a wonderful dog sitter! He is so sweet with our shy pup, and I know she always receives excellent care when she's with him. She comes home so happy! Rique is communicative throughout her stay and always a joy to catch up with. Highly recommended!”
“Felicia is amazing! Huge thanks to her and her family for taking such great care of Cereal. She was incredibly caring, communicative, and sent us plenty of updates. Cereal had an absolute blast! We definitely recommend her for taking care of your fur babies, and we will book again and again!”
“Victoria was amazing. She was very communicative and sent the best pics and videos. My pup returned happy, healthy, and tired from playing with her new friend. We’ll definitely be back!”

“Robin always does an excellent job caring for my cat when I am out of town. I never have to worry about him when she's in charge and that makes all the difference! Highly recommend!!”
“Kevin did a great job with taking care of my skittish cat! She was able to hide and do her own thing but Kevin made sure she was fed (with medication) and her litter box was taken care of. I appreciate that he even sent a picture of my cat while I was gone. She seemed perfectly fine after I came back.”
“Shurovi was a great cat sitter. She was so nice and understanding about my older deaf cat and her special needs. My cat is usually very standoffish with new people but after only a day she was cuddling and sleeping in Shurovi’s lap! Shurovi was very communicative, answered all my questions, and was very easy to book. I will definitely be using her in the future. Thank you so much!”
About: Hi! I’m a reliable cat sitter with lifelong experience owning cats and caring for cats of all ages and personalities.

“As per usual, Rique was wonderful. He came to let our pups out in spite of a last minute request on our part. We got photos immediately after he left, which are always delightful to see.”
“Alysha and Roman took such good care of our cat Chubs! I left instructions that were followed perfectly. We received text updates and photos too. We could tell that Chub was well looked after and the house was perfect. We will be using them again when we leave town.”

“Sonia is amazing. She took great care of our Cat and our Home while we were away. She is very professional and kind. Our Cat just loved her. She came to our home before we left for our trip and met our Cat who instantly adored her. She exceeded our expectations and we will definitely be repeat customers. If you want someone who takes her position serious and who will take great care of your animals and your home, Sonia is GREAT… ????? Thank you so much! I can finally relax and not have to worry when we go out of town. Thanks again.”
“Neysa was such a great sitter for our cats, she was incredibly responsive and responsible with everything we agreed on, I felt at ease being away knowing that they were being taken care of by a caring and responsible sitter. She was very reliable and went above & beyond on everything we requested for the week we were away, thank you so much!!”
“Aaron did a great job doing drop in visits with my cat Sampson. I had a lot of concerns since he can be a very finicky cat at times, but there were no issues at all! Thank you again!”
“Alyssa was great!! Super attentive and paid attention to all the instructions I left behind. She also sent me pictures of my cat every day. Would definitely reach out for her services again if needed!”
About: Life-long dog and cat rescuer and current owner of two pugnacious pugs. Treating animals with respect, love, and care are my top values. I have personally owned rodents, cats, dogs, and aquatics. Hi there! I am an HR Professional and animal lover! I have the ability to perform midday, local pet check-ins and walks. I love sharing photos and updates with pet owners so they trust their fury baby is in safe hands. My pets are my family. They are welcome on furniture and beds. My yard is enclosed with a lawn, so plenty of space for play. I do NOT have a doggy door and dogs are allowed outside only with supervision. Dogs will not be left outside if/when no one is home. Also, bully sticks and other similar chews are NOT given to my own dogs without supervision due to the possibility of a choking hazard. Chews are not kept out in my home, and only given as special treats for a short amount of time. However, I do provide licky mats with yogurt and banana and peanut butter for a fun treat for in-come care.
“Mark is a godsend! I can travel with peace of mind knowing that my kitty cats ( AND inside AND outside plants) are well cared for when I go away. I find a happy and healthy home each time I return. Plus, he sends the best cat videos. 😸 Highly recommend.”
“My pup hasn’t really had an appetite but Sophia was able to get him to eat based all my detailed instructions. I really appreciate her help, she’s always ready and reliable.”
“Laura was a phenomenal sitter for our two cats. Although one was very low maintenance and shy, the other needed medication twice a day, and Laura handled it all perfectly. Would absolutely recommend her and keep her in mind for our trips in the future.”

“Junyao (and her mama 💕) were awesome with my reactive rescue. She was super accommodating to his needs (and there are many), sent me updates throughout the day, and when we had a miscommunication about the pick-up time, was gracious and flexible.”
“Luffy LOVES going to daycare, he’ll run out of the car and beg to be let into their house. He absolutely adores Cathy and Andres and they treat him like their own. He also loves playing with Charlie. Cathy also takes the cutest pictures of our dog!”
“I needed a dog sitter on very short notice, and I’m so glad I found Angelica! She was incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment we connected. Both of my dogs took to her right away, and when I picked them up, they kept going back to her to be pet and attention, that says it all! It's clear Angelica has a genuine love for animals and a special way with them. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Gigi is an absolute angel! My puppy Hachi absolutely loves her, her husband, her adorable pup and more importantly her beautiful home. Every time I’ve picked him up, he naps hard until the next morning… so much puppy play time! I always appreciate her updates, pictures and videos… it makes me feel like I’m there. I’m so looking forward to more daycare times together. Thank you Gigi!”
“Words cannot express my gratitude. Lucas isn't a pet or a companion dog. He is really an extension of me and Albane took great care of him. She even cleaned his eyes and his fur. One way to get to my heart is by caring for Lucas like I would myself and she did just that. Thank you so much!!!”
“Burke was truly an awesome dog sitter. I came in from out of town and needed someone to watch my doggy for the day. Burke was super accommodating of the changes in my schedule. He was very communicative. I got the absolute cutest videos. Most importantly, he took excellent care of my pooch. She went to the dog park! She went on multiple walks! There were so many cuddles! Burke fed her dinner when I was later than I thought I would be! I appreciate so much how well Burke took care of my baby. I would totally use him again.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was in my teens. I have had 3 generations of Smooth Fox Terriers plus a senior Pit Bull. I have a way with dogs. I'm very good with nervous and high strung dogs. All the dogs I have owned and cared for have different traits and personalities. I take extra care to ask the owner about specifics about the dog. Fears, dislikes, likes. I take time to learn commands that are familiar to the dog so that they feel at ease with me. When dogs get my scent they know I'm a good man and they trust me. I have a mini van that is set up to transport dogs. It's full of dog beds and blankets. I like to take dogs to new places so they can have new experiences. I adore dogs and can't imagine life without them. I'm a fitness trainer with a flexible schedule. I can move clients around in order to fit in my pet care. I only have a few exceptions a week when I'm not available. I have a very safe fenced yard and my two dogs are very passive and welcome visitors. I have a small two small parks across the street from me that are great for dogs walks. Dogs are welcome in my home.
About: Huy and I are two huge animal lovers and devoted parents to a 9 month old Australian Labradoodle named Ollie. We love spoiling him and taking care of all of his super picky needs. We would love to open our home to neighborhood pups who need day care - we know that dog parents need the escape once in a while! We know that every pet has their own personality and their own specific routine - we are all ears on what that sounds like for your baby and will follow those guidelines very seriously. Safety is our #1 priority and there will be no risks taken when your pets are in our care. We are big communicators so feel free to text us for real time updates and photos of how your pets are doing and we will answer quickly! Huy works from home Monday through Friday and Amanda is on a hybrid schedule. Our computer work allows us to be a little more flexible in making sure your pets are attended to. When caring for pets in our home, we make sure they have a safe, comfortable space, consistent routines, and plenty of play and exercise. In a client’s home, we follow their pet’s usual schedule as closely as possible - feeding, walks, and downtime, so things feel familiar and stress-free. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs, whether that means extra playtime, quiet companionship, or sticking to a strict medication routine.
“Haijin and Victor are very thoughtful and thorough! They send lots of pictures and updates, and they are great at communicating if you have any worries or unique needs for your pet!”
“Lawrence was so amazing with our shy and gentle Bailey! I felt at ease knowing that Bailey was getting the kind of care and attention that I give her myself. Lawrence went above and beyond my expectations in every aspect- following Baileys routine including walking her and play time, being sensitive to her shyness and helping her feel comfortable in a new environment, communication with pics and videos and thorough updates throughout the day, everything! 10/10 would recommend. It’s rare to find people like Lawrence who really give their time, attention, and sincere care to their clients. I could see how relaxed my pup was and that is priceless to me.”

“It’s really a very nice experience that we found Tuotian to take care of our dog. They treated her as a family member. Our dog is super energetic but they played with her with love and patience. I received lots of video clips and saw my dog”
About: Since the pandemic, I’ve fostered over 5 dogs for foundations and friends around LA, notably LaBelle Foundation! One of the dogs I fostered was a blind and deaf senior dog named Conroy! I’ve also fostered my friend’s golden retriever for the entire year last year. In addition, I worked in a pet salon last summer and have experience with dealing with tantrums, and will have the upmost patience when caring for your fur babies:) As a summer intern at Apple, I work remotely on Mondays and Fridays, which allows me to spend plenty of time at home giving your pup the attention, companionship, and walks they deserve throughout the day. I’m also completely free on weekends, making Saturdays and Sundays ideal for longer walks, playtime, and personalized care. I love taking walks around my neighborhood, which is filled with beautiful greenery and dog-friendly paths. There are both popular walking areas for social dogs and quieter, more secluded routes for pups who prefer their space. My flexible schedule allows me to be attentive to your dog’s unique needs, ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a fenced front yard and backyard with lots of greenery, and are huge running and play spaces for your pup! I also have plenty of space in my house for crates if your pup needs it as well! I am lucky enough to live in a dog friendly neighborhood; it has perfect dog walking paths with tons of greenery and other dogs walking that your fur babies can engage with!
“I'm having construction work done on my home and wanted to get my cats away from what I knew would be some very loud activity. Alexis was listed as a dog sitter but was happy to cat-sit my two cats. They're indoor-only cats and have never spent much time away from home. Alexis was great with them! One of my cats is very shy but by the second day he was feeling much more comfortable around her. She sent pictures so I could see how they were doing and was very responsive. Would definitely book with her again!”
About: I rescued my dog Gabbi 10 years ago, as she was surrendered from an overcrowded home. She is a 14 lb mixed breed who is the boss in this house. Since having her, I’ve dog sat for multiple friends, overnight, including a Samoyed, Pitbull, German Shepherd, and Rottweiler mix. My dog is around 13 years old and doesn’t enjoy playing with other dogs, but she’ll happily go on a long walk together! She also likes her personal space and can make it known, but she’s never had any major issues with other dogs. She resource guards, so I keep feeding time separate. I work from home full time M-F, between 9am-5pm. I have a generally flexible schedule, taking meetings throughout the day. I like to take the dogs out throughout my work day as a way to keep me awake! I live in a townhome style condo with a small fenced patio. I live in a very walkable neighborhood, making it easy to take the dogs out. I will happily adopt your dog’s usual schedule to keep them as regulated as possible.
“Bingbing was super sweet and accommodating. She hosted a meet a greet before confirming booking to ensure my doggo Luna felt comfortable in her care. She has a nice big gated yard with plenty or grass and sunbathing space, and she made sure I brought my doggo some toys and a blanket and feeding instructions to make sure Luna could adjust as it was her first time in a doggy daycare setting. She sent me many many updates and candid Luna photos and videos throughout the day. Overall 10/10 all around. Hope to bring my baby back soon! She LOVED Bingbing 🤩!”

I’m currently working part time remotely so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I know how important taking that extra time is. I have a fenced in yard and one sweet puppy at home who loves company - but I can also crate your dog if needed.

About: I have been an active, hands-on animal lover since I was 10 years old. Growing up, I was the go-to person for friends, family, and neighbors whenever they needed someone to look after their pets. I treat every pet as if they were my own, and I understand how important it is for owners to have peace of mind while they are away. I am quick to learn specific needs and always prioritize the safety and comfort of your furry friend. I have a flexible summer schedule and am fully committed to prioritizing your pet's needs. I am available for early mornings, afternoons, and evenings throughout the week, as well as full day availability on weekends. I specialize in providing attentive care within the comfort of your own home, which allows your pet to remain in their familiar environment, reducing stress and keeping their routine consistent. I treat your home and your pet with the utmost respect and care. I am fully comfortable with following specific instructions regarding feeding, medication, and exercise, and I will always provide regular photo and text updates so you have complete peace of mind while you are away.
About: I love dogs… of all kinds! That’s an understatement. My boy is Sailor, the Siberian Husky you see in my profile. The other two dogs—Bokee & Penny—are my friend’s dogs that I dog-sit for whenever I’m needed. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, and I’m comfortable with any breed. Your furry friend will love hanging out with Auntie Tamara. I work for myself so I’ll have plenty of time for your fur babies. From feeding to walking to bathing to chilling, your pup and I will be the best of friends. In terms of my house, I have a yard with high walls so Sailor doesn’t even try to go anywhere unless it’s with me. When taking care of my friend’s dogs, they entrust me with their house key so I can come over and watch over the pups (even when they’re older, they’re always puppies in my eyes). When you ask me to dog-sit for you in your home, you can trust me to treat your space with the utmost respect. Same goes for the fur babies. They’re always in good hands with Auntie Tamara.

About: As a former owner of a golden retriever that I've trained myself, I have firsthand experience with the needs and joys of dog ownership. I frequently train my sister’s Carolina dog, which has deepened my understanding of diverse dog behaviors and training techniques. As a runner, I genuinely enjoy walking and running with a variety of dogs, ensuring they get the exercise and engagement they need. This passion for canine care has inspired me to offer my services as a dog-sitter and walker. I am committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for your furry friends, making sure they receive the attention and activity they deserve while you’re away. I also do headbutts with cats. I currently work at a co-working space, running a company and I've started a YouTube channel. I work on my own schedule, so I have time to play with and walk/run dogs! I also have had experience taking care of cats. I prioritize maintaining the dog's routine and comfort in their familiar surroundings. Before each visit, I carefully review their instructions regarding feeding schedules, medication administration (if needed), exercise needs, and any specific behavioral considerations. During my visits, I will focus on providing engaging playtime, ensuring sufficient exercise (walks, playtime in the yard, etc.), and plenty of attention and affection. I'll maintain cleanliness by promptly cleaning up any accidents and ensuring the space remains tidy. My goal is to provide consistent, reliable care that allows the dog to feel safe and happy while you are away

About: Your furry friend is sure to be taken care of when they come to our home! With a family of children, there isn't a lack of the entertaining, special attention and love they will be given. My husband and I have been caring for the cats and dogs of our friends for years and are excited to have you consider us to watch after your fur baby! My schedule allows me to be home most of the day and will be available to watch after your fur baby throughout the day to give them walks, playtime, and potty breaks. Choosing the overnight boarding option? Our family winds down around 10 and are early risers, allowing us to give ample attention to your pet. I have a fenced yard and large area for the dogs to play! I have a pool that is gated off and can either let them near the water, or keep them away; whatever you prefer! I do not have any pets of my own and only book one dog at a time, allowing your dog to feel safe and not have to worry about territorial issues.
About: I’ve had my first pet since I was 8 and I’ve loved animals ever since I could remember. I had my first dog walking job in my early 20s when I was in college and my first dog bestfriend was a Shiba Inu. I literally loved him like he was my own. I took him everywhere and anywhere that I went. I helped raised and trained him since he was 6 months old up until he was 7. Unfortunately, our journey had to come into an end when I had to move states for my first career out of college. Now that I’m back home in Cali, I’ve been yearning for another dog best friend or few. Sadly, where I currently live doesn’t allow for dogs on the premises so I’d be happy to go wherever to take care of your furry loved one! My experience includes basic obedience skills such as training and leash manners. **I am also extremely protective of your animals so I won’t take them where I know they could potentially be in danger or in harm.** *I am very communicative and will send pics when you’re away! I am available on the weekends, evenings, and holidays! I am sometimes free during mid afternoons. I am also available to board if when it is requested. I like to make sure that I am in constant communication with every pet’s owners. My preference is that I am provided with a list of do’s and don’ts. Otherwise I like to maintain a clean environment and make sure all animals are fed based on the schedule and amount that the owner provides. I like to be in constant observance of all animal’s habits in case for any changes of health or behaviors and I make sure to maintain a healthy amount of affection based on each animal’s needs.
About: As an experienced dog owner, I love working with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. While I specialize in large breeds and high-energy working dogs who need confident handling and structured exercise, I am equally attentive, gentle, and patient with medium and small dogs. No matter the size, your pup is in safe, capable hands. As a flexible local professional, pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. Because I manage my own schedule, I am out and about in the Pasadena area every day, making it easy to accommodate prompt drop-ins and structured walks when you need them most. My routine is highly active, which is perfect for high-energy working breeds that need consistent, timely mid-day exercise to break up their day. At the same time, my flexibility allows me to easily tailor my schedule for smaller or senior dogs who need dedicated, calm potty breaks and attention. Whether you need a regular weekly schedule or occasional check-ins, I build my days around ensuring your pets get consistent, reliable, and on-time care. When caring for your pets, my absolute priority is safety, structural consistency, and clear communication. For Dog Walking & Drop-In Visits: I tailor every visit to your dog's specific size, energy level, and temperament. For large or high-energy breeds, I focus on confident leash handling, maintaining their established training commands, and giving them a robust, engaging workout to burn off steam safely. For medium and smaller dogs, I adjust the pace to ensure a comfortable, stress-free stroll or focused playtime. For House Sitting (In Your Home): I respect your space entirely and keep your dog’s exact home routine intact to prevent any separation anxiety. I ensure they are fed on time, kept on their regular potty schedule, and given plenty of attention. You will receive regular check-ins and high-quality photo updates during every single service so you always have total peace of mind.
About: I've had my own dogs and cats for most of my life ranging from easy going to skittish and temperamental. I've been a go to pet carer for family, friends, and for hire since I was a teenager. I have experience with pets with complex dietary needs, medication regiments, very shy animals who don't deal well with being apart from their families, and high energy critters who need lots of stimulation. I treat them all with the patience and kindness they deserve while they are apart from their owners. I'm not living with a pet for the first time in a long time and miss I am working part time, which leaves me very flexible to care for your pets on your schedule as needed for drop in care or longer stays with your pet in their own home including nights, weekends, and overnights. I have a spacious hatchback that I can use to transport your pets. I cannot care for pets in my own home due to a highly allergic roommate, but I can fetch pets and take them wherever they need to be.
About: I have experience caring for all kinds of pets. I am able to provide care for all different ages, a good variety of breeds I am even able to care for dogs with various health concerns/medical needs. (Blind, allergies, deaf, post surgery, anxiety, etc.) I am very big on positive affirmations and reenforcing good behavior. I love training dogs! I think it can be a lot of fun. (Right now, I’m teaching sign language to both of my dogs. Our oldest is now deaf and has separation anxiety, so we’re working on basic commands.) I work in the mornings on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and, Thursdays. Typically, my lessons run from 9-12. I teach swim lessons all year and set my own schedule. I have a fenced in back yard, that is big enough for the dogs to run around and play! We’re always outside during the warmer months. As long as they have a bowl of cold water, my dogs will stay outside until they choose to come in. In my home, there is a basement. It’s not very big, but it is a nice spot to retreat to. It’s a good space to relax in as there is little outside noise that gets in. (Our laundry room is in the basement. If we run the washer or the dryer during the 4th of July, you cant even hear the fireworks going off. This is a plus, for living with dogs).
About: I'm the go-to sitter for all our family and friends. I've had two senior dogs and have raised puppies as well. I've helped train neglected rescues and volunteer at the local shelter. We hand make a variety of human grade treats from home. I primarily work from home, can provide 2x daily walks in addition to regular potty breaks and multiple outings weekly (parks, pet stores, trails etc) We have a fenced yard, and a friendly host pup. I have two XL Gunner kennels in case crating is a part of your pup's routine or if it became unexpectedly necessary.
About: Both my husband and I have grown up around all different animals including elephants, sheep, cows, and horses. My great aunt taught me to be a caretaker of pets at a young age and she often had up to 16 cats and 8 dogs in the house at anytime. This passion for caring for pets has carried on the me. I have been a caretaker for elder dogs and puppies as well. I am passionate about the outdoors and would love to take walks in on local trails when possible. A little personal information about myself: Over the past 10 years I have worked as an outdoor educator to children and adults all across the world and have a passion for both silversmithing and marine biology.

About: Lived in a multi-dog household for over 15 years providing care to pups of all ages (newborn puppies to seniors). Experienced in puppy care, senior care, medication administration, and rescue pups needing a little extra attention as they're getting adjusted to their new furrever homes. Although I don't personally provide training, I've had experience in going through training for our own pups and can support in maintaining the training that you have already in place. Guests are provided with care full-time. I'm available throughout the week and are generally flexible with pick up and drop off times. Though there may be some slight adjustments to the our daily routine, a general idea of our schedule for boarding consists of.. 6:30am potty break and playtime 7am breakfast and continued playtime 8:30am lounge/nap time Potty breaks every 3-4 hours 12:00pm -2:00pm Afternoon playtime some time during this time frame if the weather permits 5:30pm-7:00pm dinner around this time frame Evening play until 7:30pm-8pm 11:00pm for a final potty break We live in a fenced home that is double gated with a large spacious backyard. Guests are only allowed outside when there is human supervision. Guests are welcome to wrestle and play chase; however, if we do see there is an escalation in energy levels then we do a quick reset and separate guests for several minutes before returning to a lower energy of play behavior.

“It’s always been very hard for us to leave our dog, but Catherine and Albert have made it so much easier for us to travel without worry! They truly go above and beyond to make him feel like he’s just part of their family. Our dog loves playing in their amazing backyard and walking in their beautiful and safe neighborhood! They also put a lot of thought and time into making sure the pack is a good fit so everyone has fun and is comfortable! Beyond being wonderful and caring with him, they were so kind when our flight was delayed this past trip. They stepped in to watch him for an extra night without a second thought, which was such a huge relief during a stressful travel day. We’re so grateful to have found such kind, caring, reliable people who care for our pup as much as we do!”

“Yuhong is the best. She really came to our rescue last minute while we dealt with logistics related to the local wildfire. She took great care of our dog, and he was clearly happy in the daily update pics. On top of being available and reliable, Yuhong was also incredibly sensitive and caring towards our family's situation. I highly recommend her as both an awesome Rover and awesome human.”
