“Such a loving and caring family. My dogs walked in as if they walked into their home. I left them feeling confident that they were in good hands. Cecilia is great in communication and sending pitfie updates we would definitely go back.”
“Becky was great!! She was willing to meet beforehand so my dog could get familiar with her. My apprehensive pup was comfortable around her during her weekend stay. Also, Becky checked in with me throughout the weekend and sent me cute pictures of my pup! I’m glad I found a sitter in the area that’s good with my dog”
“We had a wonderful experience with our dog sitter, Marium, while she cared for our dog Maverick for three nights. From the start, communication was great and it was clear that Maverick was in very capable and caring hands. Marium made sure he was comfortable, well-exercised, and given plenty of attention and affection. One thing we especially appreciated was how well she handled Maverick on walks. He can sometimes show aggression toward other dogs, but Marium was very patient, attentive, and confident managing those situations. It was clear she understood how to keep him calm and safe, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. We also loved receiving updates and photos while we were away. It was obvious that Maverick felt relaxed and happy in her care. When we picked him up, he was calm, well cared for, and clearly had a positive stay. We are very grateful for the kindness, patience, and responsibility Marium showed while watching Maverick. We would absolutely trust her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
“Nicole was amazing! She treated my pup like her own and made sure he was well loved while we were away. She was also great about keeping me updated. She would let me know how my boy was doing everyday, accompanied with a photo of him; this allowed me to not worry about him and enjoy my trip. Thank you Nicole!”
“Citlali and her family were amazing and super accommodating. I would definitely recommend her b/c my dog is extremely apprehensive with people but warmed up to her right away. Going to be booking with her again for sure if she’s available when I leave town again😊”
“Angelina was an Angel and a life saver. I booked last minute and she responded immediately. Angelina was pleasant and very sweet. When meeting Onyx and Blue she asked all the right questions in order to provide the best care for my fur babies. Angelina sent pictures and kept me updated on all my babies activities. If you want your fur baby to be in a nurturing, safe, and fun home, Angelina is the caregiver for you.”
“Marion was great with our dog Dolce. Marion is patient and understands dogs well. Dolce got plenty of exercise with daily walks, and became very comfortable quickly. Will definitely use Marion in the future.”
“Jesse and his son took great care of Bailey. I could tell how much Bailey had gotten to walk and sniff by how well he slept after I picked him up. Bailey is used to walking 5 miles a day so it takes a lot to make him that tired.”
“We had such a great experience leaving our dog with Delia & Gabriel C. They regularly kept us updated on how our dog, Smoochie , was doing . They communicated so well. We will definitely be taking our dog back !”
“I wish I could give 6 Stars. We had Robby and his wife take care of our dog who has never been away from us. We were anxious to start but our doggie was so happy to spend a few days with new dog friends. I sent text messages to see how the dog was doing, they replied right away and sent me the cutest photo of my dog and his new friends. I recommend this couple 200% and will be using their wonderful services in the future”
“Here’s a short, positive review you can use: We booked one night of boarding with audrianna while we explored pinnacles national park where she lives near by and had a great experience with her. Our olive was well cared for, and we received updates that gave us peace of mind. Everything went smoothly, and we’d definitely recommend!”
“Thanks Dilan! Scampi had a great time with Melody and thanks again for being so flexible with our pick up time. Overall everything went smooth on our end and we will definetly contact Dilan for future boarding needs. Highly recommend!”
“Denise took wonderful care for our Standard Poodle with high standards! I really appreciated the care and attention she gave to ensure he ate. We will definitely be using her again!!”
“I highly recommend Mike when in search of needing someone to watch your fur baby. My wife & I knew right away that our Cody was in great hands for his stay. We will definitely request his services again when traveling back near the Monterey area.”
“Grace and Claudio were great! They are very responsive, responsible, and my dog had a great time. They sent lots of happy dog photos during the stay and made all logistics very easy. We hope to use them again if we are in the area.”
“Carol and her sister are both so nice and did a great job taking care of my pets. My dog & cat both came home happy and obviously well cared for - no hint of anxiety, just nice & tired after a fun rover stay. And thank you for the willingness to accomodate with pickup time!”

About: I’m new to Rover, but I’ve been caring for cats my whole life!!! I grew up with cats and am comfortable caring for them at all ages, temperaments, and comfort levels. I have experience with cats who are shy, slow to warm up, or particular about their routines, and I know how to respectfully manage their space, body language, and environment to keep them feeling safe and stress-free. I’m currently an intern with the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Sea Otter care team, so caring for animals is quite literally what I do every day! I’ve cared for kittens through senior and hospice cats, and I’m comfortable giving medications, trimming nails, and supporting specialized care needs. Whether your cat is playful, reserved, reactive, senior, or needs a little extra patience, I’m experienced in tailoring my care to match their personality and routine. I love enrichment play, slow trust-building, and making sure your cat feels safe, understood, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I specialize in providing patient, fear-free in-home care for cats who need a little extra time, understanding, and specialized attention. Whether your feline companion is a shy rescue who needs their boundaries respected, a sweet senior managing a medical routine, or an independent spirit who takes a while to warm up to new humans, I am here to meet them exactly where they are at their own pace.
About: Active, responsible caregiver providing loving attention and daily exercise. Experience with senior dog care, my focus is safety, comfort and fun! Also love cats very much. I have a flexible schedule and can pop in to care for your pets at different times during the day. Happy to do extended 60 minute visits as needed. I provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of love and attention during every visit. Please always feel free to leave special instructions- medications etc. Have cared for Diabetic dogs as well.
About: Caring for animals has always been a part of my life. Growing up with a stepmom who is a veterinary technician, I gained early exposure to caring for animals with a wide range of needs, from healthy pets to those requiring medications, special diets, and extra attention due to medical conditions. I was raised in a home with at least four dogs and seven cats, so I am very comfortable caring for multiple pets with different personalities, routines, and energy levels. My experience has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to recognize when an animal may need additional care or support. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I strive to provide the same love, attention, and care that I would want for my own animals. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, senior and needing a slower pace, or requires a little extra care, I am committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I have a flexible and responsible schedule. I am able to prioritize morning, afternoon, and evening care depending on the needs of each pet. I am consistent with feeding times, walks, playtime, and check-ins, and I make sure pets receive attention throughout the day rather than just quick visits. I also plan my week around any bookings I accept so that I can fully commit my time and energy to each pet in my care. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, maintain the pet’s normal routine, and ensure doors, gates, and feeding areas are secure at all times. I treat each home with respect and care, as if it were my own. With my background growing up around animals and veterinary care, I am comfortable recognizing signs of stress or health concerns and responding appropriately. I make sure pets are never left in unsafe situations, and I always provide attentive supervision, affection, and structure so they feel secure while their owners are away.
“Sophia did an excellent job replenishing the wet food in my cats' refrigerated feeders. She also topped off the water fountains. Highly recommend her to handle pet care even when you use high tech equipment like me!”
About: I’ve grown up around cats my entire life, so caring for them comes very naturally to me. I currently live with four cats, including one of my own, and my sisters have cats as well, so I’m around different cat personalities every day. I’ve cared for cats of different ages and temperaments, from playful kittens to older, more independent cats. I also have experience bottle-feeding young kittens and helping stray cats in need, which has taught me to be patient, gentle, and really attentive to their behavior. I know cats have their own boundaries, some want cuddles and attention right away, while others need their space and time to warm up. I’m completely comfortable letting them come to me when they’re ready. I’m experienced with feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, keeping their space tidy, and following their normal routines. I also pay attention to the little things, like changes in eating, drinking, litter box habits, or behavior, and I’ll always let you know if I notice something unusual. I know it can be hard leaving your cat while you’re away, so I’ll send photos and updates with every visit so you can see how they’re doing and have peace of mind. Most importantly, I’ll treat your cat with the same patience, love, and care I give my own. 🤍🐾
About: From daily walks to personalized playtime and attentive feeding, my commitment extends beyond basic care to fostering a loving and comfortable environment. Whether it's administering medication, handling special dietary requirements, or simply offering companionship, I approach each pet with the same level of care and dedication. Your beloved furry family members are not just pets to me; they are cherished companions deserving of the utmost attention and affection. I am currently working remotely full-time so my schedule during the week can be flexible and during the weekend I am available full time upon request. Providing exceptional in-home pet care is my specialty. I ensure a seamless and stress-free experience for both you and your furry companions by maintaining their routines in the familiar comfort of your own home. From daily walks and playtime to administering medications and adhering to dietary needs, I prioritize the well-being and happiness of your pets. With a keen eye for detail, I also keep your home secure and tidy, providing peace of mind while you're away. Trust that your pets are in caring hands, receiving personalized attention and companionship in an environment where they feel most at ease. Your home is their sanctuary, and I am dedicated to maintaining that sense of security and happiness in your absence.
“Michael B. did an excellent job pet-sitting for Jewel and keeping us informed about how the visits were going. He was very conscientious and helped Jewel feel comfortable with him there. We highly recommend Michael for your pet-sitting needs!!”
“Oscar was amazing with our two cats. They are indoor and outdoor cats so they require a bit more care. He followed all our instructions. On top of that, he made last minute adjustments to our itinerary after I made scheduling issues. We will definitely be booking him again for all our future travels.”
“Stephanie was incredibly patient and accommodating while caring for our kitty, Obi, over three days. He’s extremely shy and spent most of the time hiding, but she respected his space and never tried to force interaction. By the last day, he was just starting to come around, which says a lot about her calm and gentle approach. We also felt completely comfortable having her in our home.”
“This was the first time I scheduled Becky to look out after our dog and I was very pleased with how attentive she was to making sure my dog was comfortable and she kept me in the loop with how thing were going. Strongly recommend to others.”
About: My name is Lelia, Im from California <3 and I offer patient, attentive, and personalized care for every pet in my care. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes, cats with all personalities, and pets who need extra gentle handling. I follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and routines carefully to keep things consistent and stress-free. Clear communication and compassion come first — I want your pet to feel safe, understood, and loved. Pet care fits into my weekly routine full time . Any free time I have I would love spending it with your pets! I love caring for animals. The way I care for my clients pets is based on whatever they tell me to do and how to go about caring for their pets. I am dedicated in making your pet and you satisfied with my care.
“We’re so grateful to have found such an awesome cat sitter! Ashton took amazing care of our two cats while we were away, sent us daily updates and photos, and made sure our cat felt safe, happy, and loved the whole time. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing everything was in good hands. Our cats were totally relaxed when we got home (which says a lot!), and everything was clean and tidy. Couldn’t ask for more. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and kind to care for their pets!”

“I never really had a pet sitter before, outside vet places, but I was caught between a rock and hard place. So I decided to take a chance and I am glad I did. You couldn't really ask for a better caretaker for a pet than one knows that a pet is basically a family member, a child. Gabriel is a kind person that will let you know his life story and how he understand the bond between pet and owner. If they asks questions its only so they can provide the best care for a pet in a new environment. If you need to go away without worry, I highly suggest these people.”

About: I have had dogs all of my life, all breeds and all ages. We are a family of 6, Mom, Dad, our 12 yr old daughter and our 3 fur babies. We dedicate our time to making them happy and live a full life. We have volunteered to foster puppies through the SPCA and pet sit for family as well. Our home is cozy with a good size backyard. All dogs would sleep indoors and have someone with them at all times since We work from home. We currently work from home so there will always be someone home with your pet. We can go for short or long walks a couple times per day and they have full access to to indoor and outdoor throughout the day. We have a fenced backyard and can separate rooms with baby gates if needed. There’s a doggy door in the garage to the backyard and two separate runners. We have a soon to be 5 yr old German shepherd, a 9 yr old rescue chihuahua and our old man a 10 yr old Shih Tzu. They are spayed/neutered and get along great with other dogs. You will have the option to have your pet sleep in the living room alongside our dogs or in a separate room.
“Took my dog for daycare. Gabriel kept me updated all through out the day and sent me lots of pictures. Gave us some good training tips not to mention he includes a free 45 min. training session. He gave us a box of treats and some mini tennis balls for my dog to take home very generous of him. We will definitely use him in the near future.”
“Mike and his wife were so friendly and good at communicating. Luna had a fun time with them and we would definitely use them again to watch Luna if we are passing through the area in the future!”
“Velsia is fabulous! So very kind, caring & very clean. It’s been years since I’ve taken my dog to a kennel or a daycare. Velsia made me instantly feel at ease. Great experience, any questions I told her to feel free to call or text. She did send a couple cute pics taking Daisy for a walk & a nap with her blanket ❤️”
“MacKenzie was GREAT with our GREAT Dane! She was professional, warm, capable and easy to coordinate with. We picked our pup upmat the end of the day and he was happy, exercised, adored a and well fed - all a Dane could ask for! We highly recommend MacKenzie and will hire her again!”
About: Hello, my name is Karina. I truly adore animals and would love to care for your pets. I treat every pet the same way I would want my own pet to be treated with love, patience, and attention. I know how important it is to feel at ease while you’re away, so I always send regular updates to keep you informed on how your pet is doing. Your pet will never feel alone. My mom and sister are also animal lovers, and together we make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for like family. Cats stay indoors in our rooms in a calm, cozy space. Dogs are kept both inside and outside during the day, and we also provide walks. At night, dogs are kept indoors so I always know they are safe. I carefully follow all feeding instructions and any specific routines you provide. I also keep a clean, safe environment, including a well-maintained yard. I currently have one cat, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel completely comfortable. If you have any questions or would like to meet, please reach out. I would love to get to know you and your pet. I’m currently working part time, so I’ll have plenty of time to take your pets on walks and play with. When I’m not home my family is with them and also treats them with the same love. (No children in the home) I provide safety to your pets by keeping their litter box hygienic, providing a fenced yard, and monitoring them throughout the entire day. I treat your pets like how I’d like my pet to be treated.
“Wonderful!!! Jill kept me updated on how our boy was doing throughout the day with both wonderful pictures and extremely comforting messages! She expressed how happy they were to have him and that made us feel so good! 10/10!”
About: I’ve had a dog since I was 10 he was older so I had to learn to be patient with him.Now with a newer puppy I had to find ways to train and help him not be so shy around other dogs As a college student I have my weekends open and I stay at school for holidays! During the week I have a lot of time in between class in order to take care of your loving pet! I always make sure to keep an eye on the pets when outside the back yard or just in the house just to make sure they’re okay. During walks when walking pass other dogs I try to walk across the street from other dog or stray off to the side and wait for the dog to pass us.
“Grace and Claudio were so great with my pup! I asked them kind of last minute and they worked with my schedule and took great care of him. They were also super understanding that my dog needed to be separate from theirs and had no issues accommodating. Would def recommend!”
“Darlene was wonderful to my pups. They were happy and tired when they got home. We will call on Darlene again. They seemed to get along great with her small kids. Thank you we are very pleased. Bella,Sunny and mom &dad”
“I contacted Carol for the first time In Carmel by the Sea, CA. I needed my Boxer taken care of all day and was stressed how to find someone I can trust . I have to say that Carol made me at ease when we spoke when she picked him up and her generous videos what my dog was doing, the walks etc. no doubt, Carol is on my address book of a must to take care of my dog. Love it! Thank you Carol”
About: I believe animals deserve the absolute best care, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I grew up with both cats and dogs and currently care for an adorable cat and puppy, so I’m very in tune with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I work from home, which means your pet will have lots of attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. I bring a calm, intuitive presence that helps pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime and a bit of training, or prefers a cozy day full of naps and cuddles, I tailor their care to what they enjoy most (usually a mix of both!). I live in a house with a large backyard, so there’s plenty of space to play. I also share my home with my loving boyfriend Ahmed, who is just as much of an animal lover as I am. Whether you’re traveling, working, or just need an extra hand, you can trust your pet will be in a safe, loving, and attentive environment the whole time. I work from home, so your pet will have company and care throughout most of the day alongside my own pets. If your dog enjoys walks or outings like the beach, I’d love to include them with mine. Otherwise, they’ll be relaxing at home in a calm, attentive environment and won’t be left alone for more than about an hour (if they’re comfortable with short periods of alone time). I make sure my pets get a healthy balance of play, structure, and rest. With my dog, I focus on plenty of playtime and ongoing training, which helps her burn energy and settle into naps while I work. My cat prefers a calmer routine and spends most of her day relaxing in her own space, but I always make time for snuggles and connection so she feels loved and secure. I’m very attentive to each pet’s needs and energy levels. If a dog becomes tired or overstimulated, I’m happy to crate them for a peaceful reset if that’s part of their routine. For cats, I create a cozy, quiet space where they can feel safe and comfortable throughout the day. There is plenty of room in our house and yard to create separate spaces for pets to have their own areas (for sleep, food, play, etc.) if that is what they prefer. ❤️
About: Hi there! A little about me. I had two dogs. One was a 5 lbs Chihuahua and the other was a 25 lbs golden doodle who loved other animals. Besides taking attentive care of them, through the years, I have experience watching my friends and families dogs. I am very sensitive towards animals, extremely attentive and will take care of them as if they were my own. I am very outgoing, I warm up easily to people and animals and just look to bring the best that I can to every situation while providing the best care possible. Thank you for your consideration and I hope to meet your pets. I’m working part time so I have plenty of time to watch your pets. I can take your pet out for a walk often and am available to do overnight stays in clients homes. I will be very attentive in watching your pets whenever I have to do overnight stays in clients homes. I will follow feeding, bathroom, and walking schedules. I will make sure your home remains neat and tidy during my stay.
About: There was never not a dog in my house growing up, so caring for dogs is second nature to me. Over the years I’ve taken care of everything from purebreds to mutts, and while I’ve always had a soft spot for rescues, I love all dogs equally and treat every one like family. I work primarily from home and have a very flexible schedule, which means I can offer plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. Since I’m home most of the time, I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and pet sitting on both weekdays and weekends. I know how important consistency is for pets, so I’ll always do my best to stick to their usual routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I live in a clean, quiet, pet-friendly home with my wife, who’s also a big animal lover. We don’t have kids or pets of our own, so we’re able to keep things calm and give your pet our full attention. Safety always comes first with me. I follow feeding, medication, and exercise instructions closely, and I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Citlali was super responsive, flexible, and just great. Super appreciate her dealing with my last minute and changing needs! My dog is usually very hesitant going to new people/places but she was surprisingly comfortable with her, her husband, and cat 😊”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and other animals since I was 15 for my neighbor and I have loved it ever since. After that I started pet sitting and walking for any of my friends when they needed! About 2 years ago I got a dog of my own as well, he’s a black lab named talford so I’m great with big hyper dogs as well as any other dog with different personality! I also work at pacific pet treats and can help with any treats or item that can help your doggy! I’m currently working part time and I have a lot of time in my day to take care of pets as well as on the weekends! Weekend’s I’m usually working 5am so I’m done for the rest of the day after that! I have a huge backyard with only my black lab who uses all the space, he is very friendly and needs another doggo friend! There is plenty of safe toys and running space for your doggo! In my clients home I will be respectful and care for the dog per instructions as every dog is cared for in a different way! I will also take care of kitties!!

“Jessica is a great dog walker! She’s always on time, sends me adorable photos of Penny, and puts her leash and collar back where they belong. I really appreciate that she also takes the time to play with our senior golden — it means a lot. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve loved caring for pets for years and have hands-on experience with both dogs and cats. I was the primary caregiver for a family friend’s dog for over a year during COVID and have also looked after my uncle’s dog during multi-week stays. I make sure every dog gets plenty of walks, park time, exercise, and socialization, along with feeding, pee pad changes, and a clean, happy home. I’ve also cared for about five cats over the years and currently have a cat of my own. I know how to keep cats happy, healthy, and comfortable with feeding, litter box care, and plenty of gentle attention. I love spending time with animals, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I am currently attending hartnell college as a full time student and athlete. As every semester changes due to classes, my practice schedule is always consistent. I am unavailable from 12-3 everyday, other than that I am completely available depending on my class schedule! I am available on Saturday all day, Sunday I am available after 10am. When I care for pets in a clients home, I like to treat their space and the pets as if it’s my own. I follow each pets routine closely, I make sure feeding is on time, fresh water is provided, and giving a lot of affection. For dogs I make sure to take daily walks, visit parks or local areas for exercise and socialization if that’s what the dog feels comfortable with, and to make sure they get a good amount of stimulation and play time. For cats I maintain litter boxes, cozy and warm resting spots, and prioritize spending quality time playing or even just keeping them company so they’re not alone. I also keep the home clean and organized, tidy up any messes, and make sure the environment stays safe and comfortable for the pets. My goal is always to help pets feel happy, relaxed, and loved while their owners are away.

“Michael showed up on time and my dog Vida took to him right away. He was responsible and kind. On the second day, my dog wagged her tail and ran to him, so obviously she liked him. Thanks Michael!”
“I had a great experience with Jenna! She was extremely professional and punctual. Her friendly demeanor made me very comfortable with her walking Maxwell. You can tell that she absolutely loves animals! After the walk, Maxwell was in a very good mood, extremely happy, and is now taking a power nap. I will definitely trust Jenna to take Maxwell on another walk in the very near future!”
“Becky took great care of our girl. She sent pictures and regular updates to let us know how she was doing which made us feel really good. Caramel seemed really happy when we picked her up. We will definitely use Becky again when we need to go out out of town and can’t take our dog with us.”
About: About Me 🤍 Hi! I’m Alicia :) I’ve always been a huge animal lover and grew up around both dogs and cats. I have a Pomeranian of my own, and I’ve lived with and cared for all different kinds of dogs and cats over the years. I also have experience pet sitting, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet and their own little personality. I know every pet is different. Some dogs want to play and go on walks all day, while others just want to cuddle and hang out. The same goes for cats, some will be your best friend right away and others need a little time before they trust you. I’m very patient and always let them get comfortable with me at their own pace. I really just want them to feel safe and happy while their family is away. 🐾 I also understand that you’re trusting me with your home, not just your pet, and I take that seriously. Before getting into real estate, I worked in banking, so being responsible, trustworthy, professional, and respectful of people’s privacy has always been really important to me. I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect I would want someone to have in mine. A little about me outside of pet sitting: I’ve lived in Japan, Hawaii, Sacramento, and the Bay Area, and now I’ve settled in Monterey with my family. I love being outside, going to the beach, and taking walks around the coast, so having a pup come along with me makes it even better! At the end of the day, I really just love animals. Your pet isn’t going to feel like another “booking” to me. I want to get to know them, learn their little quirks and routine, and make sure they’re getting lots of love and attention while you’re gone. I want you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, cared for, and in good hands. 🤍 I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, pet sitting, and overnight care throughout the week and weekends. I enjoy spending quality time with animals and making sure they stay on their normal routine, feel comfortable, and receive lots of love and attention while their owners are away. Creating a safe, calm, and loving environment for pets is very important to me. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully to make sure pets stay comfortable and on their normal routine. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, needs, and behavior to ensure they feel secure and cared for. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I provide a clean, attentive, and trustworthy environment where pets are treated like family and receive plenty of affection, supervision, and patience. I also love keeping pet owners updated with photo and video updates throughout the day so you can feel reassured and connected while you’re away. I know how important peace of mind is when leaving your pet with someone, so communication is always a priority for me, and I’m happy to answer questions or accommodate any specific care instructions.

“Such a loving and caring family. My dogs walked in as if they walked into their home. I left them feeling confident that they were in good hands. Cecilia is great in communication and sending pitfie updates we would definitely go back.”
“Becky was great!! She was willing to meet beforehand so my dog could get familiar with her. My apprehensive pup was comfortable around her during her weekend stay. Also, Becky checked in with me throughout the weekend and sent me cute pictures of my pup! I’m glad I found a sitter in the area that’s good with my dog”
“We had a wonderful experience with our dog sitter, Marium, while she cared for our dog Maverick for three nights. From the start, communication was great and it was clear that Maverick was in very capable and caring hands. Marium made sure he was comfortable, well-exercised, and given plenty of attention and affection. One thing we especially appreciated was how well she handled Maverick on walks. He can sometimes show aggression toward other dogs, but Marium was very patient, attentive, and confident managing those situations. It was clear she understood how to keep him calm and safe, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. We also loved receiving updates and photos while we were away. It was obvious that Maverick felt relaxed and happy in her care. When we picked him up, he was calm, well cared for, and clearly had a positive stay. We are very grateful for the kindness, patience, and responsibility Marium showed while watching Maverick. We would absolutely trust her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
“Nicole was amazing! She treated my pup like her own and made sure he was well loved while we were away. She was also great about keeping me updated. She would let me know how my boy was doing everyday, accompanied with a photo of him; this allowed me to not worry about him and enjoy my trip. Thank you Nicole!”

“Angelina was an Angel and a life saver. I booked last minute and she responded immediately. Angelina was pleasant and very sweet. When meeting Onyx and Blue she asked all the right questions in order to provide the best care for my fur babies. Angelina sent pictures and kept me updated on all my babies activities. If you want your fur baby to be in a nurturing, safe, and fun home, Angelina is the caregiver for you.”

“I wish I could give 6 Stars. We had Robby and his wife take care of our dog who has never been away from us. We were anxious to start but our doggie was so happy to spend a few days with new dog friends.

I recommend this couple 200% and will be using their wonderful services in the future”

“Asta was wonderful. She met me well in advance to let our dogs meet to make sure they would get along, she was very amenable about an early morning drop off so we could make an early flight, and she sent lots of pictures throughout my pup's stay. She also gave him his medications and took great care of him. He was healthy and happy when I picked him up. Couldn't be happier.”
About: There was never not a dog in my house growing up, so caring for dogs is second nature to me. Over the years I’ve taken care of everything from purebreds to mutts, and while I’ve always had a soft spot for rescues, I love all dogs equally and treat every one like family. I work primarily from home and have a very flexible schedule, which means I can offer plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. Since I’m home most of the time, I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and pet sitting on both weekdays and weekends. I know how important consistency is for pets, so I’ll always do my best to stick to their usual routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I live in a clean, quiet, pet-friendly home with my wife, who’s also a big animal lover. We don’t have kids or pets of our own, so we’re able to keep things calm and give your pet our full attention. Safety always comes first with me. I follow feeding, medication, and exercise instructions closely, and I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
