“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!”
“Styles loves his time at Peter's house.. So much play time. The back yard is doggy paradise. Peter went out of his way to pamper my dog and even supplemented his food when I underestimated. Five Stars!”
“Joseph and Mari were awesome! They provided updates and photos of Panda’s stay with them! Very friendly and communicative, I will absolutely use them for future boarding for Panda.”
“Liam and Nadia did a great job of keeping us in the loop with Archer. He seems to have adjusted well and has come home a happy boy! We will happily book again with them in the future ❤️”
“Sally is amazing!!! My wire hair fox Terrier, Alfie had a great time. He loved playing in her large yard with the other dogs. Sally sent photos and videos of him during his stay. I would definitely use her again and recommend her to others. Thank you Sally for taking such great care of my fur baby!!!”
“Karen was a wonderful host for Roxy while we were away for our wedding. Roxy loved playing with her two poodles and we appreciated her photo updates and flexibility with drop off and pickup times.”
“Sabrina has been a fantastic sitter for Riley, taking great care of him each time. Her reliability and warmth made the experience stress-free, and Riley always seemed happy and well cared for. Thanks Sabrina!”
“Sofia and Jonathan are the nicest family. We were gone for a long time on an international trip to visit family in France. And it was a relief to know that our dog and bunny were well taken care of. They spent 17 days with them and we got plenty of updates and photos. Would use them again and recommend them to anyone.”
“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.”
“Natalie was amazing. She took such great care of my dog and kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that my dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. I really appreciate how reliable, kind, and attentive she was. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pet. Thank you so much! 🐾🩵”
“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.”
“Justine is awesome overall! She is kind, caring, pays great attention to detail and is very responsive. Xander was with Justine for a week and we were at peace knowing that he was with someone who cared about him as much as we do! Additionally, her pup Bodi just wants to play with your dog :) On her end, Justine also kept us in the loop the whole time with regular pics and videos and went above and beyond in caring for Xander with regular walks, play time and park time! I recommend her with no reservations and would happily board Xander with her again.”
“5 Paws! Ruth was absolutely wonderful! She took excellent care of my two dogs, Bear (my 8-year-old Morkie) and Ginger (my 14-year-old Cockapoo). They both have special needs, and Ruth was incredibly attentive, patient, and caring with each of them. She took them on long walks, kept me updated with photos, and every single picture showed two happy, smiling pups who were clearly enjoying themselves and felt completely at ease. That gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Ruth to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable dog sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Jess was responsive and commucative throughout. She did a great job taking care of my pup - he came back very tired, like he just spent a week at camp. Thank you for taking him to the dog park and the many photos and videos - really appreciate it. 10/10, would absolutely recommend.”
“Allen and his family did a great job taking care of my dog for our long vacation. They make drop-off easy and communicate well and send lots of fun pics and videos. She has stayed with Allen before, and is happy to see the family when I bring her again. I feel confident that she will be safe and have a good time there.”
“This was our first time boarding our two golden retrievers and Virginie and Maxime were wonderful to my girls! They played with them, took them on walks, and included them in their family activities. They sent me pictures and videos so I knew that they were taken care of and having fun. I’ve already recommended them to two of my friends!”
“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!”
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.
“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!”

“Stefanie was the best choice for our little Sesame. He’s a very people-focused kitten, so we were a little anxious leaving him with someone else, but we immediately knew he would be in good hands. Stefanie made sure she was aware of all his habits, feeding preferences, etc. and sent us photos throughout his stay. She really put our minds at ease and we couldn’t recommend her more.”
“Joseph was great! Couldn't have asked for more. Made me feel very comfortable having him come by and check in on my kitty. Very trustworthy and communicated with me at all times including photos. He will be my go to guy. I highly recommend him!”
“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!”
“Kathleen did an amazing job caring for my babies! Some things fell through and she was available last minute, which alleviated my stress. It felt so great knowing my kids were well taken care of and I could relax while away. She did all the things I asked and I came home to a clean home as I left it. I will be rebooking in the future! Thank you!”
“Indie was amazing! She took great care of our cat, Teddy, and he absolutely loved her. She sent us wonderful photos and even went above and beyond by taking out the trash and tidying up, things we didn’t ask for but really appreciated. We came home to a very happy cat and would absolutely book with Indie again!”
“Megan always goes above and beyond! Our house was invaded by ants while we were away and she tackled it all as if it were her own home and pets ❤️ The level of service and Megan's unwavering sense of responsibility are always so impressive and appreciated!”
“Kamila was great and super helpful when we needed a sitter for our two cats. Communicated well and always arrived on time. Both cats were happy & healthy when we got home and even my cat that’s shy with strangers quickly warmed up to her. Would definitely book again in the future!”
“Elizabeth was fantastic! I needed a last minute weekend visit for my old man cat, and she was amazing. Followed the care needs, but more importantly left really amazing detailed notes from the visits and great photos. I felt so relieved with her visits, and I could tell my cat loved her as well.”
About: Welcome to our profile! We are Des and Treo Bell! When it comes to pet care, our combined efforts are unmatched. Des has been raising stray cats for 14 years. Treo has been working at a pet care facility for 12. Together they have adopted two dogs, a cat and a bunny, with many more to come! We know a lot of pets require 24 hour care but some pet sitters might not be unable to give that due to schedule conflict. A problem we have taken care of by offering our 2 for 1 pet sitter special! We have lots of experience with different kinds of animals and temperaments. From chickens to lizards, we have got you covered! We also have lots of experience with young pups, senior dogs, giving medications and other varying special needs! * We understand how important and stressful it can be finding the perfect person for your pet care needs and we want to support you however we can. With that being said, we ask that you please disclose prior to meeting if you have already booked with or are seriously considering another party. We gladly provide services for a large area of the bay, so physical meet and greets come at some expense to us. We’re very grateful for your understanding! Treo is an ASL interpreter for K-12 students, so she works during the day. Des is a security guard during the evening and an accounting student. Des takes care of the pets in the day time; morning walk, breakfast, a bit of playtime. Treo is home for the evening routine; dinner, walk and lots of attention. While we don’t offer sitting in our home, we don’t let that stop us from providing the best care in yours. We make sure to respect the space and leave everything exactly as we found it.
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.
“Wow! We were gone for two full weeks and very nervous about how our cats would fare home alone but Candi is a pro! Our kitty Lucille absolutely loved her and our shy Ricky eventually ventured out to befriend her too. Candi also brought in all of our packages while we were away, which was awesome. She's a great care giver and an excellent communicator to boot! I'm sure the kitties are ready for us to book our next vacation.”
“Halona deserves more than 5 stars, she was absolutely wonderful!! From the meet and greet to last day of cat sitting for us she was communicative, and thoughtful. She took the time to send us updates on our fur babies and cute pictures daily. She was very accommodating with one of our cats special needs post a procedure and kept a close eye. She even took care of an unexpected ant issue in our kitchen when we were gone. Really can't say enough great things, if we ever need a cat sitter again- Halona is our girl.”
“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: 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.
About: My whole life I have had pets and love being around animals. I love the company you can give to them and the joy they can bring to you. I am young and active so can easily exercise your animals and love being outdoors. I am organized and responsible for feeding times and potty breaks. I have a Golden Retriever named Leonard who is 1.5 years old and love on him more every day. We go on many adventures and love being outdoors, meeting new friends and socializing them as much as possible. Please feel free to contact me with any more questions! Would love to help you and your pet out, or meet for a social play date. Non dominant dogs are preferred. Thanks! I work remotely from home so I am able to give the animals a few walks a day, along with a park date if weather allows! I love the exercise as much as they do, and love the company we can provide each other while working and being present with them at home. I will ensure all needs are met individually to each client. I know each baby is very special to the client, so will ensure to ask what extra steps need to be taken depending on who I am watching. I will also be extremely careful with each client's home if I am traveling to you.
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.
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.

“Stefanie took amazing care of my sweet dog during a bout of IBS. She kept me up to date with lots of check ins and was super flexible when I needed to change dates. I cannot recommend Stefanie enough!”

“Monica is wonderful! I recently used her services to look after my dog and I couldn't be happier. She is incredibly reliable, attentive, and clearly loves animals. It gave me such peace of mind knowing my puppy was in such capable and caring hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and wonderful pet sitter!”
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.
“Nicole was a great day care for my dog today! We arranged a little meet and greet the weekend before, which was such an amazing touch. My doggy came back happy! I would definitely reach out to Nicole again :)”
“Arielle was amazing! Looks like Luna had a really great time and enjoyed her stay. Arielle was responsive and checked in often which was great. Would love to have stay with Arielle and Lenny again.”
“Chloe was great with my senior dachshund, Leia! She is caring and attentive and asked the right questions about her to provide the best care possible for her. And she was flexible about caring for her at my place. I’d highly recommend her!”
“I had a wonderful experience with Jessica. This was my first time leaving my dog at a day care and Jessica quickly made me feel at ease and confident that my dog was going to be well taken care of. She responds very quickly to messages and provides great updates throughout the day. My dog came home happy and tired.”
“I’m extremely satisfied with Rachel’s professionalism and kindness towards my beloved Gizmo; always provided updates and pics, she’s super easy to work with and I hope she’s available in the future to take care of my dog again & again :-) Thank you Rachel, you’re the best!!”
“Best dog care experience I have ever had! Blueberry was handled with the utmost professional care and exceeded my expectations. Vanson is so attentive to my dog's personal needs by ensuring she is given her treats I provided and following any instructions given. He has a wonderful backyard with sweet doggos of his own who are very playful and got along great with my dog. He ensures a wonderful experience for both my dog and myself. Took my dog on walks which I could see in the Rover app and sent pics throughout the day of my dog. Such peace of mind! My dog didn't even want to go home with me after having such a good time. Book with Vanson, you will not regret it!”
“I reached out to Mia last minute as our regular sitter fell threw. She quickly responded to my request and was great with our maltipoo pups. They were calm and happy after we picked them up. Thank you, Mia!”
“Rachel was absolutely wonderful with our girl, Chardonnay! Chardonnay is currently recovering from back surgery, so we were especially nervous about leaving her with someone new. Rachel handled her with so much care, attention, and love, and immediately put us at ease. She was a great communicator and sent us tons of updates and photos throughout her stay, which gave us total peace of mind. It was clear that Rachel is a true dog lover and genuinely cared about Chardonnay’s comfort and well being. She asked all the right questions about how to safely handle and care for her during her post op recovery, which we really appreciated. We could tell Chardonnay was in great hands because she looked so content and completely at ease with Rachel. We would absolutely trust Rachel with Chardonnay again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive, and reliable sitter!”
“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!”
“Great first trial with Jess. Our dog Meeko is a rescue and has abandonment anxiety but she did good for her first daycare trial. Thank you Jess for taking good care of her. We look forward to putting her in your trusting environment for our upcoming weekend trip.”

“Joseph was absolutely wonderful with our two chihuahuas while we were out of the country for two weeks. He helped give my parents much-needed caregiver relief by walking the dogs every other day, and we couldn’t have been more grateful. He was professional, punctual, reliable, and very communicative with both us and my parents. Even while we were abroad, Joseph consistently sent updates, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dogs were being well cared for. We would absolutely recommend Joseph to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and thoughtful dog sitter.”
“Kylee was fantastic! Showed up on time everyday and my dog always came home tired and happy! She even went above and beyond to make sure Moose got extra care and attention.”
“Stephanie is awesome! My big lab is pretty anxious and excitable around new people and she warmed right up to Stephanie. She is super calm, confident, and obviously an experienced dog handler, and I felt great about sending my big fur baby off with her for an adventure. Will definitely be hiring her again for dog walks!”
“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!”
“Olivia is a great dog walker! She genuinely cares for the pets and makes sure they're taken care of before she leaves them. My Daisy looked forward to her daily visits and got so excited to see her open the door to greet her. Would definitely reach out to Olivia again for future services. Daisy will be so happy to see her again!”
“I didn't get to meet Halona in person, but my wife said she was very nice. Also, she was quick with responses when we were planning the walk for my dog. I will definitely contact her again! Thank you!”
“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 always loved animals and have experience caring for all kinds of pets. I’ve owned a wide variety of animals so I’m comfortable with all animals and their different needs! I currently have 3 cats and a dog of my own, and I also frequently house sit and care for friends’ pets. I’m responsible, caring, and always treat every pet like they’re my own. I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to have plenty of extra time to care for animals. I’m able to work around different schedules and am available for regular walks, drop-ins, house sitting, and giving pets the attention and care they need throughout the day. I always make sure pets are in a safe, comfortable, and clean environment. I follow each pet’s routine and any instructions their owner provides, and I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure everything is kept clean and secure.
“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.”
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: 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.
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!
About: Hi there! I have taken care of 5+ different families pets that include dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, etc! I love taking care of dogs & cats especially and have experience in pets of all ages. I also have experience in emergency situations with elderly pets, that called for immediate vet attention, puppy emergencies of all sorts, and even reactive pets. I develop a deep care for animals and prioritize learning each and every pets personality and needs. My professional work consists of freelance work, so in between I love to surround myself with animals and nature. A lot of the time my freelance work is done from my computer. To balance that out, I frequently go out into nature as part of my routine when time allows so for those who have pets who need outdoor time, I'm a great fit for you! As long as I have my cup of joe, and my laptop I'm a pretty easy going person! My approach to taking care and building a trusting relationship with your pet would focus on prioritizing their needs by learning their personalities. Some pets who have separation anxiety require a lot of affection, some who are high energy require a bit more exercise, and some who need mental stimulation just need exposure to different smells or visual stimulation! It just depends on what your pet needs.

We do require a meet and greet before accepting any reservation request. We look forward to meeting your pup! I am retiring so I will be home. Able to now do drop in’s and doggy daycare.

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: 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.
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.

“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!”
“Styles loves his time at Peter's house.. So much play time. The back yard is doggy paradise. Peter went out of his way to pamper my dog and even supplemented his food when I underestimated. Five Stars!”
“Joseph and Mari were awesome! They provided updates and photos of Panda’s stay with them! Very friendly and communicative, I will absolutely use them for future boarding for Panda.”
“Caio was great! Our dog is part of our family and we were sad to leave him, but Caio reassured us and made sure he was well taken care of! Caio made time during the week (before dropping off our dog) to meet him and his family, and get to know the environment. Our dog was initially scared of stairs, but Caio was very patient and taught him how to climb up and down the stairs. He constantly sent us pictures of our dog and provided us updates. Great experience!”
“Karen was a wonderful host for Roxy while we were away for our wedding. Roxy loved playing with her two poodles and we appreciated her photo updates and flexibility with drop off and pickup times.”
“Sabrina has been a fantastic sitter for Riley, taking great care of him each time. Her reliability and warmth made the experience stress-free, and Riley always seemed happy and well cared for. Thanks Sabrina!”
“Sofia and Jonathan are the nicest family. We were gone for a long time on an international trip to visit family in France. And it was a relief to know that our dog and bunny were well taken care of. They spent 17 days with them and we got plenty of updates and photos. Would use them again and recommend them to anyone.”
“Justine is awesome overall! She is kind, caring, pays great attention to detail and is very responsive. Xander was with Justine for a week and we were at peace knowing that he was with someone who cared about him as much as we do! Additionally, her pup Bodi just wants to play with your dog :) On her end, Justine also kept us in the loop the whole time with regular pics and videos and went above and beyond in caring for Xander with regular walks, play time and park time! I recommend her with no reservations and would happily board Xander with her again.”
“5 Paws! Ruth was absolutely wonderful! She took excellent care of my two dogs, Bear (my 8-year-old Morkie) and Ginger (my 14-year-old Cockapoo). They both have special needs, and Ruth was incredibly attentive, patient, and caring with each of them. She took them on long walks, kept me updated with photos, and every single picture showed two happy, smiling pups who were clearly enjoying themselves and felt completely at ease. That gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Ruth to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable dog sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“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 :)”
“Jess was responsive and commucative throughout. She did a great job taking care of my pup - he came back very tired, like he just spent a week at camp. Thank you for taking him to the dog park and the many photos and videos - really appreciate it. 10/10, would absolutely recommend.”
“Allen and his family did a great job taking care of my dog for our long vacation. They make drop-off easy and communicate well and send lots of fun pics and videos. She has stayed with Allen before, and is happy to see the family when I bring her again. I feel confident that she will be safe and have a good time there.”
“This was our first time boarding our two golden retrievers and Virginie and Maxime were wonderful to my girls! They played with them, took them on walks, and included them in their family activities. They sent me pictures and videos so I knew that they were taken care of and having fun. I’ve already recommended them to two of my friends!”

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.
About: We have spent years loving our own dogs, and honestly, we treat them better than we treat humans. :-) When your pup stays with us, they aren’t just being watched, they are joining a household, dedicated entirely to belly, rubs, naps, and maximum comfort. Since we have two little friendly dogs and a cat of our own, your pet will have a built-in social club and will never feel lonely. Since I already work out of the house and care for my own pets all day, adding your dog to the mix will fit seamlessly into our daily routine. I am constantly here to open doors, handout treats, and provide supervision making your dogs care, a natural extension of my everyday life. Our yard is completely fenced in with tons of room for your pup to burn off energy, sniff around and safely enjoy themselves. It’s a built-in dog park.
“Alex was able to watch Margaret over an extended period of time, covering the holidays, which we really appreciated as we had an international trip booked. We did not have to stress about Margaret during that time because Margaret was so well taken care of. In fact, she was sad when Alex dropped her off! During her stay with Alex, Margaret got lots of activity, leading to lots of (cute) and well-deserved naps and cuddles. Margaret says: Alex is the best!”
