“My dog Amber warmed up to Mel right away! Mel was super knowledgeable about large breeds and Amber had a great time with all her new full-sized furfriends! Will definitely be using her again for out of town trips.”

About: I’m a proud toy poodle mom of two, so caring for small dogs is part of my everyday life. Dogs are very special to me, especially as a deaf person—I rely on body language and visual awareness, which makes me extremely observant and attentive to a dog’s needs, behavior, and safety. What sets me apart is my patience, calm energy, and strong understanding of how dogs communicate without words. I’m especially comfortable with small breeds, shy dogs, and dogs who need gentle care. I work alongside my mom in her home childcare business, which is located right next to my house. Because of this, I am home most of the day and nearby at all times. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and supervision. Pets in my care are rarely left alone for long periods. They become part of our calm, structured daily routine and receive lots of attention and care throughout the day. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and supervised home environment. I closely monitor body language and behavior to ensure every dog feels safe and relaxed. I follow feeding schedules, give regular potty breaks, and keep pet parents updated with messages and photos. Your pet will be treated with love and care, just like my own two toy poodles.
“Kiana is an absolutely fantastic sitter! 10 out of 10 recommend and will be returning 100%!! She was an amazing fit for me and melly, melly has some separation anxiety, however I can say confidently that he felt very comfortable with her and her family. She sent photos and videos daily to convince me of this. I’m convinced she is some sort of dog photographer in this or another life because they are top notch - might frame some of them. He loved being around her child and getting all the lovings. Her child was so gentle and patient with melly. She was extremely helpful with giving him medication while he was there. She gave him plenty of walks, play time and snuggles. If you’re looking for a sitter who is hands on and very attentive to your fur baby -for a weekend or a 10 day stay out of the country- Kiana is your girl!”
“Thank you for taking good care of gizmo. You kept me up to date with him and were so patient with him with his eating and his bathroom breaks. Thank you for grooming him and we love all the pictures! We will definitely use you again for our fur baby!”
“Tania is a great caretaker!! She sent me updates of my pup throughout the day and was always easy to reach. I highly recommend booking your stay with her and I will definitely be having my baby Bruce stay with her again.🩵🩵”
“This was my first time trusting someone other than my family to watch my girl and I had such a positive experience! Veronica is very kind and patient! My dog is usually very shy, but I received updates of her hanging out on the couch and making herself feel at home. Thank you so so much Veronica!”
“Our dog Gracie loves going to Sandra’s. When we get out of the car, Gracie pulls me to Sandra’s front door; she can’t wait to play with Bruce. Our most recent overnight visit was due to a family emergency and Sandra took Gracie with less than a twenty-four hour notice. Thank you Sandra”

About: I've taken care of dogs for family, friends, and neighbors for 4 years now. I have some experience grooming others' dogs, however mostly my own. They still loved the way their buddy came out and continue to come to me! I enjoy doing this job so I decided to make it more public. Hope I can help many other people and their babies even more! I'm currently working part-time, so my schedule is open and flexible. I don't like to leave pets alone for too long, so for no more than 4 hours. Whether it's just to give them a potty break or to give them the attention they deserve. I have a fenced yard and live in a community with a dog park. How I take care of your babies is up to you. I understand every dog is different and so if their owner! So just let me know what you do for them and I will integrate it into their daily schedule. During the summer, the dogs will be kept inside an air conditioned home. Preferably when no one is home then they will be in a crate, however if they are guaranteed not to chew on personal items or pee inside, then they can roam inside freely. During winter, dogs can be kept outside, but it really depends on the owner's preferences.
“Gail was a pleasure to work with! She is just a sweetheart and makes you feel totally comfortable to leave your loved one with her. She sent us pictures throughout the whole stay with her and updated us on how our mini poodle is feeling the entire time. She was easy to communicate with as well when booking and coordinating the drop off and pick up. Would totally recommend anyone to use her.”
“Cassidy was amazing! I received pictures of Cloud every day and updates. They even allowed him on furniture, which was important for my cuddle bug. Their other dogs and Cloud had a really fun time, and even met their cat. Surprisingly Cloud was reportedly great with the cat. Now that I have him home he is just chilling right next to me fighting a nap because he had so much fun”

About: Hi, I’m Mandy! I’ve always had a soft spot for cats, and as someone who has two of my own, I know just how much personality each kitty can have.🐱 I have professional experience caring for cats from my time working at a doggy daycare and boarding facility, where I cared for cats alongside dogs. I understand how important it is to keep their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible while you’re away. I pay close attention to the little things, whether that’s noticing a change in behavior or appetite, keeping their litter box clean, making sure they have fresh food and water, or giving them plenty of playtime and attention. I’m also happy to give shy cats their space and let them come to me at their own pace. Communication is important to me, so I’ll keep you updated throughout your cat’s stay and let you know if I notice anything unusual. You’ll also receive daily updates and photos, so you can check in on your kitty and have peace of mind while you’re away!

“We have never left our pups at anyone's home but Mel has made us feel so comfortable and we are so grateful we have someone we trust to care for our babies when we need to get away. It's obvious she cares about all the dogs in her care.”
About: I’ve cared for pets since childhood, raising both cats and dogs of my own and helping neighbors, friends, and family with theirs. I have experience with puppies as young as 15 weeks, energetic adults, and senior dogs who require gentle, patient care. I’ve also raised two cats from kittens to adulthood, so I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I’ve personally walked through the joy of raising pets and the heartbreak of saying goodbye to four beloved dogs and one cat in their senior years, which gives me a special compassion for aging pets and the families who love them. I’m also certified through the GoodPup Dog Training Certification program, which has strengthened my understanding of reward-based care, basic training support, enrichment, and helping dogs feel safe and successful. What sets me apart is not just my love for animals, but my reliability, consistency, and attention to detail. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, quirks, and preferences so I can care for them with the same patience and love I give my own. As a stay-at-home mom and small business owner who works from home, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide consistent attention throughout the day for boarding, daycare, walks, drop-ins, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddle breaks. I do my best to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. I provide a safe, welcoming, family-style home environment with a fenced backyard, plenty of room to play, and no resident pets, so visiting dogs receive lots of attention and care. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routines, feeding schedule, crate routine, medication instructions, and comfort preferences as closely as possible. My young son is part of our daily routine and may be present during bookings. He has been raised around animals and is always supervised, so I only accept pets who are comfortable around small children. For cat care, I provide attentive drop-in visits focused on feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, companionship, and updates while you’re away.

About: Hello, my name is Zoey and I am 22 years old. A little bit about me is I love children and pets alike and will treat both the same. I’m aspiring to become an elementary school teacher and I have a 6 year old daughter and a 10 month old babygirl! I have always been around animals growing up, I had 6 dogs in my house growing up and my grandma was a crazy cat lady who constantly had strays hanging around. I have one cat named Mainfluff who is as gentle as a baby but he mostly stays outside. I also have a male golden retriever pup named Moose and a female doberman pup named Ash! I will love your pet (s) as if they were my own! I am a mother to a 6 year old girl and a 10 month old babygirl. I work at a school so I leave the house at around 7:30 a.m most days and get home around 3-4 p.m. My husband works full time but has about 2 days off each week so those days he’d be home all day. I love animals and based on your pet and their needs, I will adapt to meet them. I am completely okay with walks, outside time, park visits, car rides, baths, etc. I will play with them as much as you or they want and I am perfectly fine with cuddling on them as if they were mine!

About: I’m a proud toy poodle mom of two, so caring for small dogs is part of my everyday life. Dogs are very special to me, especially as a deaf person—I rely on body language and visual awareness, which makes me extremely observant and attentive to a dog’s needs, behavior, and safety. What sets me apart is my patience, calm energy, and strong understanding of how dogs communicate without words. I’m especially comfortable with small breeds, shy dogs, and dogs who need gentle care. I work alongside my mom in her home childcare business, which is located right next to my house. Because of this, I am home most of the day and nearby at all times. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and supervision. Pets in my care are rarely left alone for long periods. They become part of our calm, structured daily routine and receive lots of attention and care throughout the day. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and supervised home environment. I closely monitor body language and behavior to ensure every dog feels safe and relaxed. I follow feeding schedules, give regular potty breaks, and keep pet parents updated with messages and photos. Your pet will be treated with love and care, just like my own two toy poodles.
“Kiana is an absolutely fantastic sitter! 10 out of 10 recommend and will be returning 100%!! She was an amazing fit for me and melly, melly has some separation anxiety, however I can say confidently that he felt very comfortable with her and her family. She sent photos and videos daily to convince me of this. I’m convinced she is some sort of dog photographer in this or another life because they are top notch - might frame some of them. He loved being around her child and getting all the lovings. Her child was so gentle and patient with melly. She was extremely helpful with giving him medication while he was there. She gave him plenty of walks, play time and snuggles. If you’re looking for a sitter who is hands on and very attentive to your fur baby -for a weekend or a 10 day stay out of the country- Kiana is your girl!”
“Tania is a great caretaker!! She sent me updates of my pup throughout the day and was always easy to reach. I highly recommend booking your stay with her and I will definitely be having my baby Bruce stay with her again.🩵🩵”
“This was my first time trusting someone other than my family to watch my girl and I had such a positive experience! Veronica is very kind and patient! My dog is usually very shy, but I received updates of her hanging out on the couch and making herself feel at home. Thank you so so much Veronica!”
“Thank you Carola, We are very satisfied with the care we received for hunter. Carola keep us updated with lots of pictures of all the activities they done throughout the stay. She went all out and even shower and brush hunters coat. She really took care of our dog and We are so thankful and definitely will book again soon. Many thanks and highly recommended.”

“Cassidy was amazing! I received pictures of Cloud every day and updates. They even allowed him on furniture, which was important for my cuddle bug. Their other dogs and Cloud had a really fun time, and even met their cat. Surprisingly Cloud was reportedly great with the cat. Now that I have him home he is just chilling right next to me fighting a nap because he had so much fun”
“Our two-day dog boarding with Keota was absolutely wonderful! Our dog settled in quickly and happily interacted with the hosts and their other pets. A huge thank you to Keota and her family for taking such great care of our dog while we were able to explore Sequoia Park. Keota was very attentive, regularly keeping us posted and sharing pictures and video of our dog. We definitely recommend them—an excellent place to leave your beloved four-legged pet!”
“Juliann was great with our dog Phyllo. It was my first time being away from my puppy and I was a bit worried, but felt much better when she sent me a lot of picture updates. If I'm ever in town again I'll definitely take Phyllo back to her.”

“Sarah has watched our dogs twice overnight now. Sarah is dependable (which is something we’ve struggled with with other sitters on Rover). I forgot to message ahead and remind her we were coming yesterday but she remembered. Our dogs were happy to come back, which the best part. She listens to what you ask for with caring for your fur babies. We will continue to book with her.”
