“Starlee is always nervous with new people and animals. I can tell Natalie cares a lot and did a great job making her feel comfortable. When I came to pick her up she was a lot more relaxed and happy. I will definitely be using her services again.”
“Our dog loved staying at Stefanie’s with her dog Prince. She always sent us updates and pictures. We would love to rebook with her in the future because she’s amazing!”
“Absolutely awesome job watching Linguini! Pictures and updates were fantastic, I could tell he was having a good time and he was well taken care of! He currently has allergies and she made sure he got his special food and allergy meds! Will definitely use for next time!”
“Moose & Goose love staying with Nadia and Liam. We’ve booked with them several times and feel so comfortable leaving our pups in their care when we’re out of town. We always look forward to receiving picture/video updates and seeing them adventuring around the yard, it’s truly like a little vacation for the dogs. Thanks again for always taking such great care of our pups!🙂”
“Jess is truly exceptional as a pet sitter. I've never come across someone so responsive and accommodating. Despite a last-minute request to care for August, Jess accepted without hesitation. Despite my uncertainty about how August would handle being boarded, Jess embraced the challenge, even maintaining her training regimen. Throughout the day, Jess provided frequent updates on August's training progress, complete with delightful videos and photos from the park. It's evident that she treated August as if she were one of her own fur-babies. I wholeheartedly recommend Jess for her outstanding boarding, dog sitting, and other services.”
“Thank you, Max, Virginie and Louise for taking such good care of our beloved, Rosa. While only for an overnight, we could quickly see that she adjusted well. We'll be in touch again with plans for another visit! Thank you!”
“Sally was wonderful and Lucy had a great time!!! We were very nervous to leave our puppy, but Sally made us feel comfortable and sent lots of photos and a video to let us know that she was adjusting and doing well. We will definitely use Sally again. Thanks Sally!! ”
“Having to leave behind a pet is already heart breaking enough and then to look for a reliable pet sitter is another challenge. Fortunately we found Vanson, he took care of our dog, Brodie, for 2.5 weeks and kept in touch with us the entire time with messages, pictures and videos of their activities. It was comforting to know that our pet was in good hands and well cared for. We will definitely entrust Brodie with Vanson again in the future.”
“Kendra was wonderful with my pit/lab mix Apollo! Her yard is huge and great for dogs, Kendra was super sweet and accommodating with Apollo, and she sent nice updates on how he was doing :)”
“Sant was absolutely wonderful with Westley! He was incredibly attentive and took great care of him while we were away. His communication was excellent throughout his stay, and he regularly sent us pictures and videos, which really gave us peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for.”
“This was a great experience!! This was the first time our dog stayed with someone we didn't know and Ruth made the process so easy. We felt so relaxed knowing our dog was not only well taken care of but loved! Ruth sent constant updates and photos to keep us informed. We would definitely return and highly recommend Ruth!!”
About: I’ve had pets since I was a kid. Unfortunately, my pet (who was the love of my life) passed away. She was a high-needs dog with extreme separation anxiety and leash aggression, so I have skills to handle that type of pet. From then until now, I have focused on raising my children. I miss the company of animals, and I am wanting to be around them! My kids love animals, so your pet would get lots of cuddles while you’re away! I’m a stay-at-home mom of three. Two of my kids are in school, and the other stays home with me. We have lots of time on our hands to attend to the needs of your pet! If boarding at my home: I have two yards that are completely fenced in. I also have three animal-loving children. We let animals on the furniture. Our home is their home ☺️ If dropping in while you’re away or doing walk: My days are fully open starting at 9am. With kids at home, things get busy again at 5pm. Drop-ins would need to be between those hours. I can also visit again after my kids go down for bed which is usually 7:30pm. My child loves stroller walks, so hopefully your pet does too! Having a pet myself, I know how important it is to make your baby feel as calm and regulated as possible while you’re away. Putting them with a loving and responsible caretaker while you’re away is not a decision taken lightly. I hope I can be that for you and your family.
“Kamila is an excellent caregiver! I have two French Bulldogs who I was very nervous about leaving with anyone and Kamila took them in to her home and treated them like her babies. Kamila went above and beyond! I recommend her to anyone looking for their fur babies to be well taken care of!”
“Brayden and Noel were both amazing! I had to leave on a work trip and left my girl Skye with them for four days. When I picked her up, she was so happy and clearly very well taken care of.”
“Shirley did a wonderful job taking care of my dog Bernie,I get update with pictures of my dog everyday and she looks happy and gets a long great with Shirley dogs, I hope she’s available next time I need her again.. thank you so much for job well done.”
“Lauren was the best. A beautiful home with a nice little yard for my older boxer. She works from home so she’s home quite a bit which really helps my clingy boy m. I had a ton of pictures and text. She took a great care of him. He was so happy. thank you so much Lauren!”
“Darren was very friendly and approachable during dropoff and pickup, and our dog seemed to have had a good time. We only scheduled for 1 night so it was a simple and easy process to introduce him to our dog and vice versa. I wish we would have gotten a photo or 2 to know he's doing ok during his stay, but it was only 1 night so it's ok.”

Cat caregivers near you - Pleasant Hill
Prices are estimates per visit for 1 cat. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: I have been around cats my entire life and grew up caring for multiple family cats. My family currently has several cats, so I am very familiar with feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and recognizing when a cat needs space or extra attention. I understand that every cat has a unique personality and I am committed to providing patient, loving, and reliable care while owners are away. I will treat your cat as if they were my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.
“Taylor was a wonderful sitter for my cat. He warmed up to her right away, even though he is typically very shy. I truly appreciated the kindness and care she showed toward both him and me. Taylor provided wonderful photos and detailed Rover Cards throughout each visit, which was especially reassuring for me. She also handled his slightly complicated meal preparation with ease and demonstrated excellent attention to detail. I look forward to working with Taylor again in the future and would absolutely recommend her cat sitting services. Thank you again for everything, you made it so much easier for me to relax and enjoy my time away knowing he was in good hands!”
“Stephanie was fantastic! We booked last minute and she fit us in. She took wonderful care of our cat - coaxed her out of hiding and made her comfortable. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Sumaira took such good care of my cat, tortoise, and chicken. She sent great pictures and they all looked happy. Appreciated her attention to detail and letting me know a light had burned out. Timely daily feeding and visits! Will definitely ask Sumaira to take care of my zoo again!”
“Megan is the absolute best! It was my first time leaving my cats, and she made all my worries go away. Now I know I have someone I can trust to watch my cats. Her son was wonderful with my cats too!”
“Jessica took great care of my kitty while I was traveling abroad. I always appreciated the wonderful picture and video updates, and seeing my cat gradually get more comfortable with the unfamiliar space really reinforced to me that Jessica was doing a great job of keeping her happy.”
“Elizabeth was super sweet to our two skittish tuxedo cats. She did her best to get close to them and made sure they were well taken care of while we were gone. I felt very safe and secure with Elizabeth around to care for our cats.”
“Kamila took very good care of our cats. She is very responsive in providing updates via Rover and text so we can have peace of mind during our long trip. My wife has always wanted to find a sitter who loves cats and we are glad we found Kamila.”
About: I respect cats independent personality. If they need space I will let them be, if they need attention I will be happy to give them nice head scratch and belly rub if they let me. I go crazy for cat. Cat paws smell so nice!!! If you know what I’m talking about. I carry cat treats with me just incase I encounter stray cats.
“Tatiana is the most wonderful, loving pet caregiver I have ever known. My senior cat with IBD was vomiting and not eating when Tatiana came to check on him. She went above and beyond to readily communicate with me, and accepted additional visits to check on him (and my other cat). She fed him by hand until he was feeling better and got him to take all of his medications and supplements. This brought me so much peace of mind while I was away. I can’t even express how wonderful Tatiana is. I 100% recommend her to look after your pets! She is amazing!”
“Showed up on time and was great with communication. With our cats she was really kind and made them feel comfortable with her and essentially asked for their consent to be pet and interacted with. Would hire again!”
About: I have experience caring for cats of various ages and personalities, including senior cats and cats requiring oral medications or additional monitoring. I understand that many cats are most comfortable when their routines remain consistent and their environment stays familiar. Whether I'm providing drop-in visits or overnight care in your home, my focus is on helping your cat feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. Care may include feeding, fresh water, litter box maintenance, medication administration when needed, playtime, companionship, and monitoring overall well-being. As a retired officer, responsibility, trustworthiness, and attention to detail have always been important to me, and I bring those same qualities to every pet I care for. I also hold a Cat & Dog First Aid certification. Some cats enjoy interactive play and social attention, while others prefer a quieter approach and companionship on their own terms. I take the time to learn each cat's personality and preferences so I can provide care tailored to their individual needs. My goal is simple: to provide reliable, attentive care while helping your cat feel comfortable, secure, and relaxed in your absence.
“Rebecca took excellent care of our three cats while we were away. Our senior guy was able to keep on his medication regimen. Her communication was great and we enjoyed her updates. We're so grateful.”
About: I have 12 year's experience having my own beautiful cat! I have experience with shy, docile or very food motivated cats. I am very comfortable interacting or even giving them space to come around on their own.
About: We have a busy, loving home with 3 kids, one cat, & two dogs. If your dog loves to be with a busy family, we're the right place for you. I have many years of pet care experience including veterinary care and dog training experience (specifically, I've trained my own dogs through the Petsmart dog training program and passed the Canine Good Citizen test). I'm very comfortable around all types of dogs and animals. I've always treated my pets as part of our family and would always treat any animal in my care with the same devotion. We have three kids (ages 14-16) and they are all used to animals and they are very caring and love to play with all the dogs when they come home from school. The cats can easily avoid the dogs if they want to as they have their own outdoor catio and room. We keep our air conditioner on for our dog already during hot days so any dogs with thick fur will feel very comfortable. There's no carpet in our house so potty issues are easier to manage as well. I work from home, so other than errands or short outings the dogs have someone home with them nearly all the time. We have a gated kitchen so dogs can be separated if needed. We have a large fenced yard with a covered patio and when it’s too hot to be outside, the dogs are in the air conditioned house with us.

“Monica went above and beyond to give Angel a wonderful stay. She has a lovely home and she sent me videos to reassure me of Angel's well being. Angel returned home in a relaxed and happy state.”
“Thank you Sant and family for taking such lovely care of Leopold. He loves being reminded of how fancy he is.....much appreciated words of praise and smiles. We look forward to future visits”
“Highly recommend Nicole. She was super flexible and accommodating with drop off and pick up. Spartacus would perk right up when he saw her - I could see he was in good hands. Loved the pictures and updates too!”
About: LET ME SHOW YOU HOW I GET "FREE" FRESH WET FOOD, "FREE" TREATS, AND "FREE" PREVENTATIVE CARE ITEMS, ETC FROM CHEWY FOR MY PET. YOU TOO CAN GET THEM FOR "FREE"! I don't have any ratings at this time because I just signed up with Rover on August 22, 2026. Please kindly choose me and help me build the greatest 5 star rated service. Thank you so very much. I am a retired, stay at home, middle aged, single lady with a 12 year old neutered male Jack Russell Terrier angel of my own that I adopted 12 years ago, and I have been taking care of him all along. I have over 12 years experience caring for my own angel, and I have also provided full time care for many days to family and friends' pets in the past. Since childhood, I have been magnetically drawn to animals of all kinds. I have such profoundly deep love for animals that I mostly just live for them, in a manner such that I have donated hundreds of thousands of dollars for them, I make sacrifices in my personal life in such a manner such that I can increase my donations to animals, and I get greater joy by sacrificing for animals than by treating myself. With my pet care services, I hope to increase my donations to animals and provide companionship of his own kind to my own angel. In me, your pet will have a person caring for him/her that feels true love for him/her in the bottom of her heart. I own a spacious home with a spacious fenced yard, where I live alone with my angel. My neighborhood is tucked away and is extremely safe. I am eager to meet your angel baby, please give him/her my love, tell him/her that we are BFFs, and that we are going to have the greatest times together. We will celebrate life to the fullest together! I am retired, and I stay at home full time. I am available for pet care 24/7/365. No time or day restriction. Humbly at your, and your pet's service all the time. I own a spacious home with a fenced yard. I will personally escort your pet to the backyard for their personal private activities and to play. I also have a very gentle 20 pound neutered dog, who is extremely well behaved around other dogs. He doesn't bark at other dogs, he just wants to play, and he is never aggressive. Your pet will have company of his/her own kind. In my home, your pet will be free to jump on the couches and the bed. With your approval, he/she may sleep with me in my bed, just like my dog does. If you prefer another arrangement, please specify it, and it will be satisfied. Periodically, I will take pictures and videos and share with you so that you can see how pampered your pet is in my care. I may read bedtime stories before falling asleep, give gentle pampering massages, etc, with your approval off course. If I am pet sitting in your home, your instructions and preferences will be followed and satisfied. I am highly accommodating.
“Our pup had another great visit with Darren and his family! She is happy and comfortable during drop off and pick up. She loves to play with their dog and they take her on walks. We are grateful for Darren M and his family doggie daycare.”
“We were worried about leaving our new puppy for the first time, but Alisha set up a Zoom so we could meet her the day before and it was immediately obvious that she would take great care of our little guy. Then, when we dropped him off, he practically jumped into her arms and made himself at home in the space she has set up which is perfect for doggy guests. She sent us updates and pics throughout the evening. We are very glad to have Alisha nearby for the future. I especially appreciate her depth of knowledge -- she is a great resource for those of us who have limited experience with raising puppies!”

“Our frenchie spent an exciting day with Vanson’s dogs. He loves to run around and that’s exactly what he did. Vanson sent photos and a video of Bentley having fun. This was Bentley’s first stay with Vanson and it was a success.”
About: I’m a responsible and caring pet lover who truly enjoys spending time with animals. My home is a safe, loving environment where pets receive plenty of attention and care. My partner and I work together to make sure every dog gets the exercise, playtime, and affection they need, so your pet will always have company and lots of love while they’re with us. I am a stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide reliable and attentive care throughout the day. I spend most of my time at home or running local errands, so I can easily fit pet visits, walks, feeding, and playtime into my routine. My partner also has a flexible schedule and is happy to help when needed, allowing us to provide consistent care and attention for your pets. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will follow your instructions carefully regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and routines to help your pet feel secure and comfortable. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, and I will provide patient, loving care while keeping you updated with photos and messages. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to create a safe, stress-free experience.

She responds very quickly to messages and provides great updates throughout the day. My dog came home happy and tired.”

“Rebecca was great! We have no issues and our dog Molly loved her. We will be reaching out to her in the future for our doggy needs! I would definitely recommend Rebecca to friends.”
“Jessica did great. Boli can be a bit temperamental and she knew exactly how to calm him. They had a great walk, and she’ll be coming back to walk him this evening. I’m so glad she is helping us out . I recently had shoulder surgery so I cannot have my eager guy yanking on me. He is usually easy to manage but if he sees squirrels or raccoons, all bets are off!”
“Agne is so wonderful with our dog, Baloo. You can tell that she loves dogs. She is timely and reliable. I am so glad I found her. Baloo is a big dog (over 100 lbs) and he is no problem for her.”
About: I have had dogs since I can remember and raised a puppy when I was a teenager. I house sit and watch my family and friends dogs often. I have a cat of my own and love her to pieces. I've administered insulin shots to my parents elderly dog and have even taken him to vet visits. I love all animals no matter what shape or size or species. I know leaving your family member in the hands of a stranger can be stressful and I try to make that experience as stress free as possible. I am overly communicative and extremely cautious with your animals! Lots of pics and updates included! I would love to help you with yours! I am currently very flexible and would love to gain long term clients with regularly scheduled daily walks and then move to overnight visits once trust is established and I get to know your animal more! I would not be able to take any pets into my own home. I am happy to walk even your run pups or do mid day check ins for cats or more!
“So energetic and sweet. Went above and beyond to give my pup a good walk.Even though Leo is usually shy, he was excited to meet her during meet & greet. Thanks so much!”
About: Every walk is a new experience for a dog, even if it's in familiar territory, and I enjoy helping a dog to have a great one. I have taken care of dogs for family and friends for 30+ years and walked them in a professional sense for five. A few of the settings I've enjoyed with dogs are parks, beaches, forests, downtowns, and suburban areas. For most of the year, I am available: Monday morning & evening; Tuesday morning & evening; Wednesday thru Friday mornings only; Saturday most of day; Sunday all day. In a client's home, I will follow the directions of the pet parent and leave it as I found it, as well as making sure the property is secure.
“Olivia was an excellent dog walker. She was on time and communicated with me regularly. My dogs loved her and I could tell they enjoyed the attention she gave them by how happy they were when I got home. She took great pics of them too!”

“Elizabeth walked my dog for three days in a row while I recovered she was patient with Stanley he looked forward to the walks every day. She put up with his gopher hobby and squirrel addiction.”
About: I've been caring for animals since childhood. I have decades of hands-on experience with both dogs and cats of all personalities. I’ve cared for neonates, seniors, shy and anxious pets, high-energy dogs, and cats with complex medical needs. I’m comfortable administering medications, following special routines, and providing attentive care tailored to each pet. I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, energy levels, and subtle signs of stress or illness. For shy or sensitive pets, I move at their pace, creating a calm, low-stress environment where they feel safe and comfortable. Whether it’s playtime, walks, snuggles, or just quiet companionship, I adjust to each pet’s needs. Above all, I treat every dog and cat like family, with patience, affection, and respect for their unique personality. I’m home during the day, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide individualized care for every pet. This allows me to accommodate special needs, from administering medications or fluids, to extra playtime, snuggles, or monitoring a pet’s health. Being home full-time ensures pets in my care always have attention, companionship, and a consistent routine, so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I provide a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment for both dogs and cats. My home features a fully fenced yard for doggy guests to play and explore, plus several daily walks to keep them active and happy. I have a resident 15-year-old chihuahua who is friendly with both dogs and cats, and all pets are carefully supervised to ensure peaceful interactions. For cats, I only board one at a time or multiple from the same family. They enjoy their own bedroom outfitted with cozy cat trees, a water fountain, plenty of toys, and catnip. My resident and foster cats are kept separate from boarding pets if needed, so each animal feels safe and relaxed. Your pets will have individualized care, enrichment, and attention in a calm, secure space where they can feel at home while you’re away.
About: I have had dogs all my life. I love them, take good care of them and they love me. I will take care of your dog like they are family I’m retired and love dogs. I love to walk and walking with a dog will make it that much better. I Also love to play with dogs and I will make sure they are exercised. My house is dog proofed and I’m always there to make sure they are safe and happy. I will take good care of them, always.
About: I dog sit of my friend dog once a while for almost 5 years. She normally stay with me more than 7 days. I’m good at take her out for a walk even during raining day. I love to give them belly rub. I spend most of my weekend at home so I have time to take care pet during the weekend. I like to take pet wherever I go, otherwise I feel bad for leave them at home for a long time. I live in a two story townhouse with 2 bedrooms, offering plenty of space for small dogs to comfortably move around and go up and down the stairs. There’s a community park right outside my home, and I love spending time outdoors. I’m happy to take dogs on long walks and make sure they get plenty of exercise and fresh air, especially if they enjoy being active.
About: I'm a retired officer, background-checked through Rover, and have more than 10 years of experience caring for my own dogs as well as friends', family members', and clients' pets. Throughout my career and personal life, responsibility, trustworthiness, and attention to detail have always been important to me, and I bring those same qualities to every pet I care for. In 2016, I adopted Barney the Shih Tzu, followed by Jack in 2019. Both were estimated to be about four years old at the time. In 2025, Jack passed away from bone cancer, giving me firsthand experience caring for a senior dog with significant medical needs. In 2022, I rescued Penny, the white pup in my profile photo. Certifications & Experience • Cat & Dog First Aid (American Red Cross) • Experience administering oral medications • Experience caring for senior pets and pets with special needs • Experience caring for dogs and cats of various ages, sizes, and temperaments, including a large Rottweiler I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, consistency, and individualized care. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, senior and slower-paced, or simply happiest sticking to a familiar routine, my goal is to provide dependable care while helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, and I'm home much of the time. This allows me to provide regular companionship, potty breaks, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. Because I intentionally limit the number of pets I care for at one time, I am able to provide a more personalized level of attention and maintain a calmer environment for the pets in my care. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. Consistency helps pets feel comfortable, secure, and relaxed while their owners are away. My schedule is generally flexible, allowing me to accommodate a variety of care needs, including daycare, overnight care, drop-in visits, and pet sitting in a client's home. Pick-up and drop-off service may be available depending on distance and scheduling. My dogs are part of the family and spend much of their time relaxing near us, on the furniture, or curled up on a lap. Visiting pets are treated with the same level of care, attention, and companionship while in my home. Dogs are welcome on furniture unless owners request otherwise. I intentionally limit the number of guest dogs I accept at one time to help create a calm, safe, and low-stress environment. This allows me to provide close supervision and a more personalized experience than many high-volume pet care settings. If you prefer your dog to be crated for sleeping, feeding, or when unattended, I'm happy to accommodate as long as a crate is provided. Visiting dogs should be reasonably housebroken, with exceptions considered on a case-by-case basis for puppies and special circumstances. Meet-and-greets are strongly preferred whenever possible before services begin. They allow me to learn about your pet's personality, needs, and comfort level while helping determine whether my home and care style are a good fit. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect both the pet's routine and the owner's home, providing dependable care, companionship, exercise, and attentive supervision. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, consistency, and respect. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable environment where pets can feel relaxed, secure, and well cared for while their owners are away.
About: What sets me apart is my deep, hands-on experience raising animals from their earliest stages. I have over 10 years of experience caring for pets, and all of my own animals—a dog and two cats—were adopted from shelters and raised by me. This has given me strong instincts for understanding behavior, building trust, and creating a calm, safe environment for animals of all temperaments. I’m especially comfortable with young pets, helping them adjust to new routines, reinforcing positive habits, and providing consistent care. I’m also very attentive to each pet’s individual needs—whether that’s extra patience, playtime, or a structured routine. Because I treat every animal like my own, you can count on reliable, compassionate care and clear communication while you’re away. 🐾 Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. Since I’m currently not working, I have full availability and a very flexible schedule, which allows me to provide consistent, attentive care any day of the week. I already structure my days around caring for my own dog and two cats—feeding, walks, playtime, and maintaining a calm, clean environment—so adding additional pets fits in seamlessly. I’m able to accommodate different routines, whether that’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening care, and I can adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s specific needs. Safety and trust are my top priorities, whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so I can provide consistent, stress-free care. In my home, I maintain a clean, calm, and pet-safe environment with plenty of supervision, structured feeding times, and regular walks or play sessions. I’m mindful of introducing pets slowly and only if appropriate, and I make sure each animal has a comfortable space to relax. In a client’s home, I respect their routines and follow all instructions closely—from feeding schedules to preferred walking routes and house rules. I keep the space tidy, provide updates with photos, and make sure pets feel secure in their familiar environment. I’m very attentive to safety at all times—secure leashes, monitoring behavior, and keeping a close eye on health or any changes. My goal is to make both pets and owners feel completely comfortable and confident in my care. 🐾
About: Caring, friendly, knowledgeable dog walker seeks to meet doggos of the neighborhood for: walks, fetch, and new sniffs! I’ve been caring for dogs (and other pets) since I was a younger pup. Either as one of my own dogs, or for family and friends. Having had a dog almost every decade of my life, I think of them as family. And appreciate differences in their personalities. I truly enjoy meeting new dogs and hearing all about them from there pet parents. After safety, fun is second on my list to ensure your poochie has an enjoyable time while we’re together! I’m available to answer questions and for meet and greets to see if I’m a good fit for your Fido! Looking forward to hearing from you! Pets like routine, and so do their stomachs! We’ll follow your pets regular schedule for meals, treats, potty breaks, walks, play, and nap time. While caring for your fur-baby, I follow your lead to match their energy level for the given activity. Rest assured your home will be tidy upon your return (trash out, dishes washed, etc…) so you can both enjoy each other upon your return.

Any time, any place, as long as I can reach the home, I can watch or visit your pet on any particular day. Dogs or cats.

“Our dog loved staying at Stefanie’s with her dog Prince. She always sent us updates and pictures. We would love to rebook with her in the future because she’s amazing!”
“Jess is truly exceptional as a pet sitter. I've never come across someone so responsive and accommodating. Despite a last-minute request to care for August, Jess accepted without hesitation. Despite my uncertainty about how August would handle being boarded, Jess embraced the challenge, even maintaining her training regimen. Throughout the day, Jess provided frequent updates on August's training progress, complete with delightful videos and photos from the park. It's evident that she treated August as if she were one of her own fur-babies. I wholeheartedly recommend Jess for her outstanding boarding, dog sitting, and other services.”
“Thank you, Max, Virginie and Louise for taking such good care of our beloved, Rosa. While only for an overnight, we could quickly see that she adjusted well. We'll be in touch again with plans for another visit! Thank you!”
“Kendra was wonderful with my pit/lab mix Apollo! Her yard is huge and great for dogs, Kendra was super sweet and accommodating with Apollo, and she sent nice updates on how he was doing :)”
“This was a great experience!! This was the first time our dog stayed with someone we didn't know and Ruth made the process so easy. We felt so relaxed knowing our dog was not only well taken care of but loved! Ruth sent constant updates and photos to keep us informed. We would definitely return and highly recommend Ruth!!”
About: I’ve had pets since I was a kid. Unfortunately, my pet (who was the love of my life) passed away. She was a high-needs dog with extreme separation anxiety and leash aggression, so I have skills to handle that type of pet. From then until now, I have focused on raising my children. I miss the company of animals, and I am wanting to be around them! My kids love animals, so your pet would get lots of cuddles while you’re away! I’m a stay-at-home mom of three. Two of my kids are in school, and the other stays home with me. We have lots of time on our hands to attend to the needs of your pet! If boarding at my home: I have two yards that are completely fenced in. I also have three animal-loving children. We let animals on the furniture. Our home is their home ☺️ If dropping in while you’re away or doing walk: My days are fully open starting at 9am. With kids at home, things get busy again at 5pm. Drop-ins would need to be between those hours. I can also visit again after my kids go down for bed which is usually 7:30pm. My child loves stroller walks, so hopefully your pet does too! Having a pet myself, I know how important it is to make your baby feel as calm and regulated as possible while you’re away. Putting them with a loving and responsible caretaker while you’re away is not a decision taken lightly. I hope I can be that for you and your family.
“Kamila is an excellent caregiver! I have two French Bulldogs who I was very nervous about leaving with anyone and Kamila took them in to her home and treated them like her babies. Kamila went above and beyond! I recommend her to anyone looking for their fur babies to be well taken care of!”
“Lauren was the best. A beautiful home with a nice little yard for my older boxer. She works from home so she’s home quite a bit which really helps my clingy boy m. I had a ton of pictures and text. She took a great care of him. He was so happy. thank you so much Lauren!”
“This was our first time using rover and Lisa made the whole process smooth! She took great care of Louie. He had so much fun with her dogs. We will definitely be using Lisa again!!”
“Colleen and her husband took amazing care of my dog Cody! It's the first time I have left Cody overnight with anyone except immediate family and I felt super comfortable and confident they would do a great job, which they did. They were super easy to work with from beginning to end, for which I'm very grateful. I highly recommend Colleen to watch your furry friend...Dan”
“Sabrina was wonderful to our boy! He even had a playmate with her new puppy! They got a long great, and treated him like he was a part of their family! Thanks again for taking great care of our teddy bear!”
“Casey and Sarah were amazing! We booked with them super last minute and they even offered to have a quick FaceTime with us beforehand which really made us feel comfortable. We got the cutest updates of our pup and felt really at ease with her in their care. Definitely will book with them again in the future!”
About: I bring more than 20 years of professional experience in veterinary medicine and animal welfare, caring for pets and supporting the people who love them. My background includes veterinary hospital leadership and many years with the San Francisco SPCA, and I'm also Fear Free Certified. I have extensive experience with pets of all ages, personalities, and needs, including puppies, seniors, anxious or fearful pets, multi-pet households, medication routines, and pets who may need a little extra patience and attention. My Fear Free training helps me recognize signs of fear, anxiety, and stress and adjust my approach so each pet can feel as safe and comfortable as possible. My veterinary background also means I pay attention to the little things. I'm accustomed to noticing changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, energy, or overall wellbeing and communicating concerns promptly. Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care. I'll treat your pets like they're my own, follow their routines closely, and make sure you get plenty of updates and photos while you're away. My schedule is currently very flexible, which gives me plenty of availability for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. I'm available weekdays and weekends and can accommodate morning, daytime, and evening visits. I also understand how important consistency is for pets, so I'll do my best to keep their normal feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routines intact while you're away. With more than 20 years of experience in veterinary medicine and animal welfare and Fear Free certification, I'm very comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, behaviors, ages, and needs. When caring for pets in your home, I'll follow your instructions closely and treat your home with the same care and respect I'd want someone to show mine. I'll double-check doors, gates, leashes, and other safety details, keep your pet's environment clean, and provide detailed updates and photos so you always know how things are going. I know you're trusting me with two things that matter enormously—your pet and your home—and I don't take either responsibility lightly.
