“Mel was incredibly kind! Runie is usually super cautious with new people and won’t let them near her at first, but she had no issues letting Mel and her husband pet her right away.

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.

Im a college student and have some flexibility in my schedule but working weekends is the best time to pet sit, however if you message me about a specific time during the week id love to see if we can work something out.

I always follow the owner’s instructions closely regarding feeding, walks, medications, and routines, so pets feel secure and cared for in their familiar surroundings. Safety is my top priority.

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.
About: I genuinely care for pets like they're my own, Experienced with puppies, kids, and everything in between.

About: I’m a dedicated 21 year old dog lover who currently cares for two rescued female puppies. They are friendly and fixed :) Raising young shelter dogs has given me hands-on experience with puppy routines, socialization, basic training, exercise, and lots of patience. I understand the importance of consistency, positive reinforcement, and creating a safe, comfortable environment for pets. Growing up, I also owned a Chihuahua and spent time dog walking for others ever since I was a kid, which helped me learn how to work with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with active puppies, shy dogs, and dogs that need extra attention and reassurance. What sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your dog needs playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply a caring companion while you're away, I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I currently work part-time as a delivery driver, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to stay close to home throughout the day. Because of that, I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, exercise, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. I care for my own two young dogs every day, so pet care is already a major part of my routine. When I'm not working, I spend time walking, training, playing with, and caring for them. My flexible schedule allows me to adjust my day around the needs of the pets in my care and make sure they receive the attention, supervision, and affection they deserve. Safety is my top priority when caring for pets. In my home, dogs have access to a large, securely fenced yard where they can play, exercise, and explore safely under supervision. I also have a large crate available for dogs who are crate-trained or need a quiet place to relax. If a dog needs their own space, I can separate them using a dog gate and provide a comfortable area in my home where they can rest safely. I always monitor interactions between pets and make sure each dog is comfortable and stress-free. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special instructions. I believe consistency helps pets feel secure and comfortable while their owners are away. My goal is to provide a safe, calm, and caring environment where every pet feels at home.
About: I’ve been passionate about caring for dogs and puppies since I was 9 years old. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, from newborn puppies to senior dogs. I’ve had the pleasure of caring for dogs of various sizes, including small breeds like Chihuahuas and larger breeds like German Shepherds and Old English Sheepdogs. I’ve helped neighbors and several family members with everything from basic needs to more specialized care, including feeding prescription medicine, regular bathing, and grooming. Whether it's a playful puppy or a senior dog needing extra care, I’m dedicated to providing the love and attention your pet deserves! I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule to care for your dog. I’m available throughout the day and can adjust to meet your pet’s needs! Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a secure, loving environment where they can feel at home. Whether it's playtime, walks, or relaxation, I ensure a stress-free and happy experience. If your dog is crate-trained or requires crating, I’m happy to accommodate their routine!
About: As a professional dog bather, I spend my days ensuring dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments feel clean, comfortable, and safe. My daily work gives me hands-on experience handling different coat types, reading canine body language, and keeping pets calm during routine care. At home, I’m a proud pet parent to two rescue-level personality powerhouses—a high-energy Black Lab and a strong, affectionate Cane Corso/American Bully mix. Living with and caring for both friendly, active pups and powerful, large breeds means I am entirely comfortable managing dogs of any strength, energy level, or size. Whether your dog needs an engaging, controlled walk or attentive in-home sitting, I bring professional handling skills, deep patience, and genuine love to every pet I care for. As a professional dog bather, my daily work centers on reading animal body language, handling pets of all sizes, and creating a calm, safe environment for every animal in my care. My life at home is just as pet-focused: I manage a vibrant household with two large, energetic dogs—a Black Lab and a Cane Corso/American Bully mix—and five cats. Living with five felines and two powerful dog breeds gives me hands-on, daily experience with everything from high-energy walks and large-breed handling to subtle cat behavior, multi-pet routines, and meticulous home safety. Whether your pets need an active, controlled walk or attentive, low-stress in-home sitting, I bring professional handling skills, deep patience, and true everyday multi-pet experience to every visit. Care in My Home (Apartment Living) Structured Outdoor Time & Frequent Breaks: Living in an apartment means outdoor time is always active and intentional. I take dogs out frequently throughout the day for structured, leash-guided walks and bathroom breaks to keep them exercised, happy, and comfortable. Crate-Trained & Calming Environment: As a multi-pet owner (including a Black Lab and a Cane Corso/Bully mix), my home is built on clear routines and safety. My own dogs are well-trained and crate-trained. Crate training allows for safe, stress-free boundaries, individualized downtime, and secure separation whenever needed (e.g., during feeding times or quiet rest). Indoor Enrichment & Constant Supervision: Because apartment space is defined, pets in my care receive close, direct supervision, interactive indoor play, and dedicated individual attention rather than being left unattended in a yard. Maintaining Familiar Routines: I strictly mirror your established feeding, walking, and medication schedules so your pets feel completely secure in their familiar environment. Low-Stress Handling & Body Language Expertise: Drawing on my professional bathing background, I monitor pets for subtle signs of stress or discomfort, ensuring low-stress interactions—whether that means gentle companionship for sensitive cats or structured leash control for energetic dogs. Multi-Pet Home Management: I am thoroughly experienced in managing multi-pet households safely, keeping dogs and cats on their respective feeding and play routines while ensuring entryways and doors remain strictly secure. Cleanliness & Respect for Your Space: I leave your home exactly as I found it—handling litter box maintenance, wiping muddy paws after walks, cleaning feeding areas, and keeping your pets safe and comfortable while you're away.
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.

“Diana was absolutely amazing! She took incredible care of Stark and Rufio over the Thanksgiving weekend, and we had complete peace of mind the entire time. Her communication was a 10/10 she sent daily updates, photos, and even surprised us with adorable holiday pictures of our pups by the Christmas tree. Such a thoughtful touch! Her home was spotless, our boys were clearly comfortable and happy, and she truly went above and beyond in every way. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Honestly, 10/10. We will definitely be booking with her again. Highly, highly recommend!”

“Fantastic pup care! Needed a last minute solution close to home, and Ms. Cassidy came through like a champ! Even had an emergency to attend to that she was able to accommodate with no issues. Our sweet boy had plenty of socializing and play time with the other pups, and got outstanding care during his stay. We would highly recommend this puppy sitter!”

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.
“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!”
“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.”
