“Ashish was great. Good communication and very accommodating. Our dog had fun with a few other dogs about his size. It was a good experience overall. Definitely would do a repeat.”
“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.”
“Kushram exceeded our expectations while boarding our three-year-old French Bulldog, Wizzy, over the holidays. We were understandably nervous about leaving Wizzy with an unfamiliar family for an extended 17-day stay, especially since it was her first time being boarded. Kushram immediately put us at ease by inviting us to a meet-and-greet before the boarding began. We had the pleasure of meeting his family, visiting their lovely home, and seeing the environment where Wizzy would be staying. This experience helped us build trust right from the start. Throughout our 17-day vacation, Kushram consistently sent videos and photos, along with thoughtful updates on Wizzy’s health and well-being. He was incredibly responsive via text and conversations, always replying within the hour. When we picked Wizzy up, all of her belongings were beautifully cleaned, organized, and packed—nothing missing, which we truly appreciated. Overall, the service was top-tier. We are deeply grateful to Kushram and his family for taking such great care of Wizzy, and we would absolutely work with him again.”
“We are SO grateful we found Luna! Our usual dog care fell through right before a long out-of-state trip, and we were genuinely considering postponing because our senior dog, Indi, has recently been diagnosed with IBD and needs a specialized diet, daily meds, and a calm, attentive environment. She can get stressed easily in new places, which has previously led to tummy issues and even skin flare-ups — so we were very nervous about leaving her with someone new. From the very first message, Luna was incredibly warm, proactive, and thoughtful. She even offered to set up a meet-and-greet right away before we could ask, which immediately put us at ease. Once we dropped Indi off, it was clear Luna treats animals like family. Her own dog, Jim, also has IBD, so she had first-hand experience and comfort caring for a pup with similar needs. Throughout the two weeks, Luna provided detailed updates every single day — including meals, meds, walks, and yes, digestion reports (very appreciated 😂). She took so many adorable photos and videos that we could see how happy and relaxed Indi was. Our dog walker also commented on how noticeably happier and healthier Indi seemed while staying at Luna’s — her stools even improved (a true win for IBD dog parents!). Communication was flawless, kind, and reassuring the whole time. We felt completely at ease, which is priceless. We would absolutely book with Luna again and recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a sitter who is caring, attentive, and truly exceptional. Indi came home happy, calm, and healthy — we couldn’t ask for more. 💛🐾”
“Allora was great! I only have positive things to say, Coco seemed so happy staying with her and her family. Allora sent me frequent updates and pictures which was great! I will definitely be boarding Coco with her again.”
“Wenxin is super friendly, a total dog lover (she has two rescue dogs who are very friendly and cheerful), and took great care of my dog while I was away. She sent very detailed, fun to read daily reports that chronicled every activity they did indoor and outdoor. Best dog sitter that you can find - no question!”
“We had a fantastic experience with Stefanie caring for our two dogs. Stefanie cared for our Labradoodle and Dachshund. Our Labradoodle can become quite anxious with conventional kennel boarding which prevents him from getting rest. Stefanie provided a safe, calm, and relaxing environment which allowed our Labradoodle to feel at home. Stefanie did a great job of keeping us updated with photos while we were away which provided peace of mind. We had a terrific experience!”
“Justin and Patrick are really professional at taking care of my dogs, Toby and Nugget were so happy and excited to live at their home. Good service, good price. best choice for dog stay.”
“Peter & his Fiance were just fantastic with my large energetic dog. My first meet up with them put my mind at ease - a very good vibe. Great communication & flexible. But best of all the dog instantly bonded with them - something he doesn't do with most people. He absolutely loves going there & comes home happy & tired. I'll definitely be rebooking & highly recommend”
“Barsha is the best! She has watched one of my pups for a day before but this time she watched both the dogs for 3 nights! Of course it went amazing! She sent tons of pictures and videos and kept us updated the whole stay. I could see how happy the dogs were in the videos, playing and making themselves at home on her couch. They now even have a favorite spot there. Will definitely rebook with Barsha any time we need a sitter! Can't recommend her enough!”
“Deborah had my dog for a week while I was on a work trip. I hate leaving him, but she made the trip so much better with regular photos and updates. He had a great time, and I could not have been more pleased. It actually enabled me to enjoy my trip. Thank you!!”
“Ross was awesome! From our initial meeting, he asked all the right questions about the care and personality of my pup. During my pups stay, Ross was great about sending daily photos and updates on how my little guy was managing with my absence. I could see from the photos that my pup and Ross's pup were getting along really well... This left me feeling very comfortable that my pup was enjoying his 'vacation'. Thanks so much Ross! We look forward to Baxter staying with you again soon!”
“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.”
“Hope was recommended to us by another great Rover sitter, and we are really grateful. Hope is so friendly and knowledgeable about dogs and their behavior. She made Coconut comfortable immediately. Her little dog Rocky is adorable and super friendly. Coconut loved going for walks and playing with Rocky's toys. Hope was great with sending text updates as well as photos and videos. Here's hoping Hope doesn't get too busy to have room for Coconut the next time we need her!”
“A last minute request for a dog sitter while we were on a road trip resulted in a very satisfactory experience for us, first-time Rover customers. Abigail was caring, informative, and responsive to our 13-year-old pup, Nellie. So happy to have found Abigail, and we recommend her highly!! We’ll certainly keep Rover in mind for the future! Great app!! Wow!!!”
“Christine was incredibly easy to communicate with, professional, and showed wonderful care for my dog Manchi! She navigated her anxiety and quirks so well, took her on a bunch of walks, and even gave me a polaroid of her holding a show, her favorite thing to do 😊”
“Our pup had a great time with this loving family! Maria is very communicative and sent updates throughout the stay, and the girls are so sweet and gentle with our dog! I’m sure she’ll be excited to see them again!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities for 15 years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, play with, and care for their pets while away. I’m patient, attentive, active, and genuinely love animals. I understand the importance of making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I love taking dogs on hikes and to the beach as well. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week and on weekends. I enjoy staying active, spending time outdoors, and making sure pets get the care, attention, exercise, and companionship they need to feel happy and comfortable. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving, and attentive environment and always follow the owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding, routines, medications, walks, and special care needs. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior and body language to ensure they feel safe, secure, and well cared for at all times.
“Shirley was very attentive towards my extremely shy and scared dog, Maggie. She went above and beyond to make Maggie feel comfortable in her home. Shirley send me frequent updates, videos and photos. I will definitely board Maggie again with Shirley.”

Cat caregivers near you - Port Costa
Prices are estimates per visit for 1 cat. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: I grew up with cats, and a year hasn't gone by without a cat in my life. I've helped acclimate wild garage cats to humans on several occasions, and have learned all the tiny body language cues. I've had friends praise me for my ability to quit the petting while I'm ahead and not get scratched by even the sassiest of cats.
About: I've always had pets of all kinds, but cats have been my favorite. My oldest cat lived to be 20, she was well loved. My last cat just passed in November of last year, and I feel the loss. I'm now ready to shower your pet with love and care! Right now I can take one cat at a time, or 2 if they are from the same home. They must have a carrier or cage. I will provide the litter box. They will be able to access multiple rooms in the house if they want to.
“Erin was super helpful. I had booked her last minute and she was able to help me which I greatly appreciated. Kept Neoh happy, cleaned up after him, and was on time each visit. Thank you again for all your help!”
“Saylor is really great with my puppy, he truly enjoy his time with her. She is responsive and communicate well. I want to gatekeep her but she is very good! Would definitely recommend her to everyone else!”
About: Cats have a special place in my heart. When taking neighborhood walks, I'll stop for any cat that wants a pet. My friends call me the cat whisperer because I can get even the most shy cat to warm up to me. I've had cats since I was 7 years old and currently have a fluffy tuxedo whose litter box is cleaned daily and who gets brushed, fed, and played with every day.
“Nancy was great! She was very caring to my elderly cat when she checked in on her. She sent pictures and gave me updates on how my cat was doing. She put my mind at ease knowing she was well cared for. Great communication. Would highly recommend ☺️”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years, starting with family, friends, and neighbors who trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and spend quality time with their pets. I’m patient, reliable, and truly love making dogs feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have experience with dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, including energetic puppies and older dogs who need a little extra care and attention. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or cuddles, I treat every pet like they’re my own. With every animal I watch I make them my number one priority. I completely changed my week around so that I fit into their schedule. I want to make them feel as comfortable as possible so as little as I can change for them the better. I treat it better than my own. I was taught very early on to make sure you leave anywhere cleaner than you left it and even better so I make that a priority as well when I’m watching the dogs or animals.
“Incredibly kind, communicative, and attentive! This was my first time hiring a pet-sitter/house-sitter and Isaiah was fantastic about sending daily photos. Could not imagine booking with anyone else in the future.”
“Met letter was great with our two cats! She did all the basics (food/water/litter box) and then gave them some extra love and attention. She even got our shy one to come out and say hi! Would definitely recommend her for all of your pet needs and we will Definitely be using her again ❤️”
“Madeline does the best for your pets and your peace of mind! Fabulous petsitter. We are a repeat customer for her services. We absolutely love the care, attention and professionalism in taking care of our pets for us. She is simply the best! She did drop in visits for us this time for our kitties and they were well taken care of over the holidays and lots of great pics. Thanks so much Madeline. She is our go to petsitter!”
About: I've taken care of cats and even helped train them since I was a toddler. I absolutely love caring for cats. I’m very patient and gentle, and I give them time to warm up at their own pace. I’m often told, “They never come out for people,” or “How did you get them to play? They’re usually so shy!” I truly enjoy getting to know each cat’s personality and routine so they feel comfortable, curious, and secure while you’re away.
“Kyla was awesome! She was always on time and made sure our kitties were doing good while we were away. She was super responsive and quick on updates. We loved all the pictures and will definitely be a repeat customer! ?”
“Meghan was great very good on communication and took excellent care of our cat. It was very hot when she visited and she took extra care to make sure Kiitty was safe will definitely use her again!”
About: I have worked at 2 dog facilities, The Meadows Canine Camp in Santa Rosa and I currently work at the Milo Foundation where I walk and adopt out dogs. I currently have a foster named Grayson (boxer) who is good with small dogs. I love animals and I am very qualified to take care of your pet while you are away. Cant wait to meet them! I work at the Milo Foundation in point Richmond Wednesday-Sunday. Your dog would need to be ok for 8hrs alone on those days or if they are small I can take them with me to work. Before and after work would be dedicated time spent with your pet and I am off on Mondays and Tuesdays. While walking, your pets safety is my number one priority and I will make sure to walk in areas deemed appropriate by clients. Having dogs of my own, I understand the importance on keeping them safe when out. I also like to use a harnesses when walking to avoid a dogs collar slipping and possibility of getting loose.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Port Costa
Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
“Kushram and Family are a wonderful find for dog sitting or doggy day care. Give the initial booking request a bit of lead time, as the confirmation that the day/time works may take up to a day to come through. This time I put in a request 9:30pm on a Saturday, and got confirmation Sunday evening. (I suspect requests are processed daily). The initial booking request was the largest gap we experienced in communication, scheduling the meet and greet by messages was easy - they were very responsive and want to ensure you and your pup will be comfortable with their set up and go over any special needs of the dog. Our elder pup Rick was drawn to Kushram and the whole family even on the meet and greet (I think just his wife and adult nephew), as well the drop off day of, and they were able to make him comfortable enough to eat even on a short visit. Given our short booking (only about 3 hrs) we can't really comment on long term pictures/communication during the visit, but I can say I feel pretty happy that I found some place local where I feel comfortable leaving my dog when I need to go somewhere. They also have some experience with some dog special needs, but can help best when they know about it ahead of time. They were not concerned or put off in the slightest by our pups needs (mostly that he's pretty clingy, can get cold easily, and only has 3 teeth and will only eat small pieces of food, and doesn't love hanging out with other dogs), and described other dogs they had watched with similar or more challenging needs such as dog-sitting a blind dog in a new space. Thank you for taking good care of our pup!”

“Baoying was great with Louie! She provided playtime and exercise for my very playful pet. I also like the way her pet matches Louie’s energy, Louie is a lot calmer when i picked him up.”
About: I grew up as the daughter of a professional dog trainer—my mother—and have carried on her love for all animals. I was taught how to handle reactive, nervous dogs with calm gentle confidence, keep high-energy dogs busy with engaging activities, and give mindful care of dogs that have any special needs. Dogs have been a part of my life since birth, including my 15 year old boy Chunk that is so disarming, he makes an excellent companion for even the most nervous dogs. I’ve gained a broad amount of experience as the go-to enthusiastic dog sitter for all my friends and family’s pets. I would love share a warm, welcoming home with your pet where nightly snuggles on the couch are the norm. I work from home so I can be as available as your dog needs. My partner also is home for most of the day, and only works in the evenings so one of us is almost always home. We live surrounded by trails and parks so your dog will have ample adventures during their stay. Every dog will be treated with the same love and care as if they were our own. We have a large fenced yard that they are free to roam, and a cozy home with dog beds everywhere. We allow dogs on couch and bed, though I can maintain any rules you have in your home for consistency. We do also have a cat so we cannot accept any dogs that are in any way aggressive towards cats or small critters.
“Jeannette and her family are amazing. My dog loves coming to their house. They are gentle and loving, which I appreciate. We've come back several times for boading and daycare.”
“Thank you so much Stefanie, for meeting me early in the morning & taking such great care of my pup for a full day! I really appreciated the photos and updates. I would absolutely recommend you!”
“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!”
“First day care for Megatron was a success! Thank you Connie for the regular updates with pictures. Left us reassured that she’s having a good time with the other pups. Thanks again!”
“William is great with Louie! He treated Louie just the way he cares for his own fur babies. He was available on short notice, and sent me pictures of Louie while I was at work. That really put me at ease knowing that Louie is having a great tome.:)”
About: Hello! I’m a lifelong dog lover and the proud owner of a 10-year-old Shih Tzu–Pomeranian mix which lived with us since he was 2-month-old. So I am experienced with dogs at all ages. I’ve cared for many smalls to medium size dogs over the years and understand their routines, personalities, and needs. I have a clean, well-kept and very large, fenced yard and offer a calm, clean, and safe home with plenty of attention and gentle play. I enjoy hosting small to medium-sized dogs and treat every pup like part of the family. What is my drive? I host dogs, because I want a companion for my doggy, I enjoy spending time with dogs, and I am home every day of the week. I am available for boarding seven days a week and maintain a flexible schedule. I am home most of the day, allowing me to provide consistent supervision, care, and attention. I can often accommodate bookings on short notice and work with your schedule to ensure a smooth drop-off and pick-up experience. I provide a safe, clean, and calm home environment for all dogs. I have a large, fully fenced yard where dogs can run and play freely, along with a doggy door for easy outdoor access when appropriate. I only have one small, friendly dog at home, and I carefully introduce pets to ensure comfort and compatibility. Your dog will be supervised, cared for attentively, and treated like part of the family.
“It is our first time using Rover and we chose the right person to take care of our puppy Max. Allora and her family were amazing. She had him for the day and he had the time of his life! They constantly kept us updated with photos and videos and even let him wear an Air Tag to make sure he's safe. We'll definitely let our dog stay over here again!”
“As a new pet sitter for Kona, she was happy when we picked her up and that’s an indication to us that she was treated well. Emma provided photos and update how Kona was doing. Her house/yard is in a nice area of Vallejo and happy to see it was clean and tidy. Given her already stellar reviews, we already know that we will be reaching out to her again.”

“Ilse did great with Xena. She was attentive to Xena’s reaction to other dogs . She kept her under control and calm. Xena was happy to see Ilse when she came. She was on time and was needed for a week after I had hip surgery. Good job.”
“This is my second time with her and my dog likes her and the walk. I think this time I'm going to set up recurring walks with her. Great job! I definitely recommend Merlette!”
About: I offer calm, personalized care in a quiet home where your dog is treated like family, not one of many in a busy boarding facility or a home with multiple dogs. I typically host one household at a time, so your dog gets my full attention, genuine affection, and all the cuddles they can handle. My home is the right fit for friendly dogs who love companionship, walks, and settling into a peaceful routine. I'm especially drawn to dogs who thrive with one-on-one attention rather than the noise and energy of a busy multi-dog environment. I'm certified in Pet CPR, Healing Touch for Animals, and Reiki. And beyond the credentials, I'm deeply attuned to each dog's personality and energy. That attunement is what helps them settle in quickly and feel genuinely at ease. My connection to animals runs deep. I spent five years volunteering at Lindsay Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, working in both the mammal department and wildlife hospital with injured and recovering animals. That experience sharpened my understanding of animal behavior and reinforced something I already believed: animals feel safety before they understand it. My goal is always to create that feeling from the moment your dog arrives! Because I work from home, pets in my care are rarely left alone for long periods and receive plenty of attention, walks, and companionship throughout the day. When pets stay in my home, they become part of a calm and comfortable daily routine. I primarily host dogs from 1 household at a time so each pet receives plenty of individual attention. Dogs here enjoy daily walks, playtime, and relaxed downtime, and I’m home much of the day since I work from home. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs so they feel safe and settled. For drop-in visits or walks in a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, walks, litter care for cats, playtime, and companionship. I’m happy to send photo updates so owners know their pets are doing well.
“"I couldn't be happier with their service. I was nervous about finding the right walker for my kids pup, but they were incredibly patient and gentle. Fantastic service! They are dependable, trustworthy, and go above and beyond to make sure my dog gets plenty of exercise I will be back in the future”
“Once again, Fioa provided excellent care for my dog..I really appreciate her kind ways and willingness to work with my anxious pup. Fiona is responsible and communicates well.I feel very comfortable with her her respect with my home. I will use her services again.”
“What a wonderful person! I was very worried because my son's dog is unruly and wants to eat other dogs. Kyla had the dog walking along as peaceful as can be. She was truely a blessing.”
“Thank you so much Adam!! You are simply the best!!! Adam is my go-to every time, and he never disappoints. My dogs love Adam!! I am so happy I found him, and so are my dogs!! Thank you!!!”
“Emma is such a sweet lady, always on time, very responsible and gave us plenty of updates both photos, videos and texts! Very responsive and easy to talk to. And my dog loved her, she was clearly very excited every morning when it came to the scheduled time we arranged for Emma to pick her Ik and take her in her walk. Dogs don’t lie and my dog was ecstatic to see Emma. We could not have done our trip without her, we’re very grateful and I think we’re going to have to schedule with her more regularly so my dog doesn’t get depressed. If you need someone you can count on to take care of your dog (big or small, my dog is a 65 lbs very active husky), be responsive and always on time - Emma is your person. Book with her before she’s all booked up. It’s not easy finding people you can trust with your pets so I’m truly grateful we found Emma. Thank you!!!!”
“Jenna is our senior lab’s weekly dog walker. She provides excellent communication with how our pup is doing and shows Sadie the same care she would give her own dogs. Thank you, Jenna, for being such a reliable, helpful caregiver for our girl 🐶”
“Vanessa is friendly, communicative, and reliable. I really appreciated how patient she was in allowing my pup Leo to take his time warming up to her—it made a big difference. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi I'm Bibiana, a reliable attentive pet sitter with a background as a pet portrait artist. I take a calm personalized approach so every pet feels safe, understood and genuinely cared for. My approach to pet sitting is intentional and detail oriented. As an artist I have spent years closely observing animals - their expressions, energy and subtle shifts in behavior. That trained awareness carries directly into how I care for pets: I notice the small things, responding intuitively and create an environment where your pet feels safe, understood and genuinely cared for. I specialize in providing calm, consistent and personalized care tailored to your pets needs-whether that means engaging playtime, relaxed companionship or gentle approach for more sensitive or senior pets. As a complimentary offering, I create custom pet portraits for clients who would like a meaningful keepsake. This is always optional and never part of the care itself - simply an added creative service available if desired. If you are looking for dependable intuitive sitter who will treat your pet with genuine care and respect, I would love to connect. I am a professional multi-media artist and currently have a flexible work schedule. I am available everyday for morning or evening visits and overnight stays. I am available to stay overnight with your furry friends. I have experience with older dogs and cats. I especially enjoy watching kittens and puppies.

About: I’ve always had a special connection with animals since I was a child. Throughout my life, I’ve cared for rabbits, ducks, chickens, fish, hamsters, dogs, and cats.

“Allora was great! I only have positive things to say, Coco seemed so happy staying with her and her family. Allora sent me frequent updates and pictures which was great! I will definitely be boarding Coco with her again.”
“We had a fantastic experience with Stefanie caring for our two dogs. Stefanie cared for our Labradoodle and Dachshund. Our Labradoodle can become quite anxious with conventional kennel boarding which prevents him from getting rest. Stefanie provided a safe, calm, and relaxing environment which allowed our Labradoodle to feel at home. Stefanie did a great job of keeping us updated with photos while we were away which provided peace of mind. We had a terrific experience!”
“Peter & his Fiance were just fantastic with my large energetic dog. My first meet up with them put my mind at ease - a very good vibe. Great communication & flexible. But best of all the dog instantly bonded with them - something he doesn't do with most people. He absolutely loves going there & comes home happy & tired. I'll definitely be rebooking & highly recommend”
“Ross was awesome! From our initial meeting, he asked all the right questions about the care and personality of my pup. During my pups stay, Ross was great about sending daily photos and updates on how my little guy was managing with my absence. I could see from the photos that my pup and Ross's pup were getting along really well... This left me feeling very comfortable that my pup was enjoying his 'vacation'. Thanks so much Ross! We look forward to Baxter staying with you again soon!”
“Our pup had a great time with this loving family! Maria is very communicative and sent updates throughout the stay, and the girls are so sweet and gentle with our dog! I’m sure she’ll be excited to see them again!”

“Working with Jeanette and her sweet family was wonderful! Lil Ray came back nice and tired from all the play time. Would definitely recommend and will use their services again!”
“I am so grateful to have found Ikeena here. My dog has anxiety and Ikeena immediately put him at ease and took great care of him. She asked thoughtful/caring questions since my dog has some special needs. She took my dog on hikes/walks in the park and took excellent care of him. She sent videos and photos too.”
“Had an absolutely amazing experience having Amanda and Michell watch our Lucy. We’d never left a pet with strangers before, and they couldn’t have made the process more comfortable. Amanda sent daily photos and a brief note on what they did that day. Lucy got to go on many long walks and hikes, and really became part of their family. At the end of her stay, we received a report card on Lucy’s behavior, which was the cutest thing ever. Without hesitation, I’d use Amanda and Michell again, and highly recommend them to anyone needing a pet sitter.”
“Nakul took care of our girl, Nova for two weeks while we were on vacation and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. It was such a relief knowing she was in good hands while we were away. He kept us updated with regular photos, and it was clear from every one that Nova was not only well cared for but also having a great time. He was also incredibly friendly and accommodating—he even picked Nova up from our house before we left, which made things so much easier for us. His home is very nice and clean, with a big yard where Nova had plenty of space to play and enjoy herself. Nakul was reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring—everything you’d hope for in someone looking after your pet. We felt completely at ease the entire time, which says a lot. We would definitely use him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter.”
“Justine was a fantastic sitter. Our dog had a wonderful time with Justine and her family. We loved the frequent updates with pictures and videos, and Justine asked great questions ahead of her stay to ensure she knew our dog and her quirks. We will definitely book with Justine again and highly recommend her.”
“My boyfriend and I were planning a trip and needed a sitter, but I was extremely hesitant about leaving our 15-month-old puppy, Camila, for the first time—we even considered canceling. I’m so glad we didn’t and that we found Allison! Allison is truly wonderful. We were able to do a meet-and-greet beforehand, which immediately put me at ease and reassured me that Camila would be in great hands. Allison was kind, welcoming, and incredibly responsive to all of my questions and concerns both before our trip and while we were away. She was also very flexible and accommodating with pick-up and drop-off times. Her setup is amazing—she has a fully fenced front yard, a fully fenced backyard, and indoor space, which gave Camila plenty of options to play with other dogs or relax on her own. Receiving regular pictures and videos of Camila was such a comfort and made our trip even more enjoyable. Knowing Allison was taking such great care of Camila gave me complete peace of mind.”
“Allen and his family took great care of my energetic young dog during our vacation. Communication with good, and we enjoyed seeing pics and videos of her from time to time. She seemed like a happy cared-for dog when we got back. Allen seems to have a calm presence with dogs and a love for them that shows, and I would feel very good about leaving my dog in his care again.”
“This was our first time leaving our nearly 3 year old dog with someone and Lisa was fantastic. She and her home are so dog friendly. Communication was great including working with us to facilitate a slightly earlier than planned pick up. We’ll definitely be using Lisa again.”
“Colleen was the best! She was so sweet at the meet and greet and made me feel so comfortable leaving my pup, Goose, with her. Goose is an old girl now, and having to leave her is a little more stressful than it was when she was a younger pup, but Colleen sent so many pictures and it was CLEAR Goose didn’t miss me at all lol I am very thankful I have found Colleen to keep Goose company when I’m away. I know Goose already can’t wait for me to leave again haha 🫶”
“Another great stay for my dog! I feel so comfortable having my pup stay with Huda. I know she genuinely loves him and goes above and beyond to care for him. She walks him and makes sure he has lots of play time and love. She even got him a birthday gift. He is excited to see her and is happy when I arrive to get him. I am grateful to have found Huda. She’s fantastic!”
