“Sarah was incredibly easy to coordinate with and very responsive throughout the entire process. My dog had such a great time and got along wonderfully with her pups. We’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Our pup who is often overly shy with new dogsitters easily adjusted to Cori and Chris (her quickest transition so far as she was snoring on the couch within the first hour). They are both so welcoming, patient, and kind— we already have our second stay booked. Sophie gives her first stay two paws up!”
“Norma was amazing!! Murphy had a great time in her large yard, going on frequent walks and playing with a few others dogs and even a cat! Norma was very communicative and sent a lot of photos to keep us updated on how Murphy was doing. Murphy came back to us healthy and happy and will definitely be booking again soon! :)”
“Ronald was a fantastic dog sitter! He had a meet & greet with us beforehand to see how our dog would get along with the other dogs to make sure she was comfortable. His communication was excellent too! He sent pictures with updates throughout the whole stay. I highly recommend him.”
“Annie, Ty and their daughters took wonderful care of my dog. They asked lots of questions about his care and routine and provided regular updates and photos of him while he was with them. He came home happy and relaxed after his time in their home.”
“Stacey and Christopher boarded my dog for four nights and took great care of her! I’d never boarded my dog before nor left her for an extended time so needless to say I was a bit anxious! But after the meet and greet I felt at ease knowing she’d be in good care. Christopher immediately began playing with my pup, and Stacey asked really involved, clarifying questions about her care that I knew they were well versed in the dog sitting world. I received photos and updates while away, and they are always prompt with communicate. Would book again!”
“Diana is a lovely woman with a lovely home and yard that are very animal friendly. I left my senior girls with her- first time I've left them at anyone's house other than grandma's-and was never worried at all. I got updates and photos daily, as well as one video. She is very experienced with dogs and followed my 2-page "How to take care" document perfectly. Diana is warm and kind and your pups will be very well taken care of by her.”
“Kara was fantastic with our dog. I felt completely at ease knowing she was taking care of him while we were out of town. Lots of walks, attention, daily updates, photos, and homemade treats! I would definitely rebook with her again.”
“Lisa was great from the very start, with excellent communication. We have not left our dogs overnight in someone else’s home before but from the photos Lisa sent, they seem to have fitted in to her home quickly and easily. We appreciated getting updates and Lisa’s flexibility around pick up. Thanks Lisa and I’m sure we will be back soon!”
“Marina and Kathryn were exceptionally kind. It was the first time I had left Oliver with someone who wasn't family. However, he returned home very happy and with new friends. My family and I are very pleased with Marina and Kathryn for hosting Oliver as their guest.”
“Holly was an amazing sitter for Hazel. I received regular pupdates with pictures and in every single photo Hazel looked absolutely comfortable and happy with Holly, her home, and her family (including her 2 dogs). I feel 100% confident and comfortable using Holly’s services in the near future and would recommend her to anyone.”
“Cannot say enough great things about how these two wonderful people treating our aging pup. Flawless communication, endless love and attention! I would give 10 stars if I could.”
“Rachel was awesome! She was super accommodating to my dog’s separation anxiety and my dog had such a great, relaxing time! Rachel even prepared some extra food for my dog when I didn’t leave enough food for her stay <3 Thank you so much!!”
“Crystal came through for us last minute and she was great with Baxter! She provided an update and showed that my shy and timid dog warmed up to her and her family just as expected. Communication from start to finish was awesome too! Will definitely book with her again.”
“Very friendly and accommodating. Our dog seemed very happy and well cared for. Mayank was also very responsive and sent regular updates with pictures each day. Highly recommend!”
“My puppy was really happy when staying for a week with Julia and her mom. This was his first time away from me (and I was a nervous momma), so I appreciated the daily photos and videos of my puppy playing with other dogs that Julia sent to me. Communication was very good prior to booking, and also the week of my puppy's stay.”
“Khamsay and Amit were wonderful with Murphy!! They were very thorough at the start of boarding to make sure that they understood all of her care guidelines. We got multiple pictures throughout the day and it seems like Murphy got a lot of walks and play time!! Very sweet and attentive family!”
“Martin and Crystal took great care of our boy Blu! We took a trip for over a week during the holidays and Martin and Crystal were easy to work with and happy to take our fur baby. They have a great setup for dogs and they provide a homely and comfortable atmosphere. Their dogs were also great playmates. I appreciated that they provided updates throughout the week. Blu came home happy and exhausted! I am looking forward to booking with them again and I know Blu is too!!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Alice & Micah! Right from the meet-and-greet, they made us feel comfortable and reassured that our pup would be in loving, capable hands. We recently moved to San Diego and were looking for a pet sitter when one of our friends recommended them. Before an upcoming long trip, we booked an overnight stay to see how our fur baby would do, and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience. Alice and her family took incredible care of our dog, keeping her happy, safe, clean, and so well loved throughout the stay. It was clear how much affection and attention they gave her. Alice also shared photos and updates throughout the stay, which we truly appreciated. The communication and care gave us complete peace of mind, and we knew right away that our pup would be with a loving family during our travels. Our fur baby came home relaxed, happy, and clearly very well cared for! We’re so grateful to have found someone so trustworthy, responsible, and kind. We highly recommend Alice & Micah to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter!”

“Sophia was absolutely amazing! Gary was so happy to see her each day! She took such good care of Gary and followed all the instructions I left perfectly! She even helped me avoid some crises when Gary knocked over my TV she made sure everything was ok! I would highly recommend booking with her and I will definitely be using her again!”
“When meeting Pam you could tell she really loved animals. I right away felt safe leaving our precious fur babies in her hands. My intuition was right, she did and excellent job of taking care of them. One of our cats had an unexpected accident while away and she handled it deftly. Thank you sooo much Pam.”
“Our cats were well taken care of while we were away. They seemed happy and content when we came back. There was a bit of confusion about the timing of the visits but it never affected the cats and we never followed up on it because the visits seemed to be going fine otherwise.”
“Vinh is absolutely wonderful. This was our first time having him take care of our babies and he was very attentive to the needs of our pets. Including two of which that are special needs. We would highly recommend him and will definitely request him in the future.”
“Andrey is amazing! He showed up right on time to meet and greet my pups. He’s very sweet, kind and showed great attention to detail in regards to caring for my crew. My senior dogs need a lot of love and he took such great care of them. He was very communicative, sending me pictures and updates of how my dogs were doing each day. He even kept my home neat and tidy. Andrey was a fabulous choice and I will continue to have him watch my dogs again in the future.”
“We were asked away on last minute work trips, Nadya answered our response promptly and within an hour we had the peace of mind that our cat would be taken care of. Although it was just one drop in visit, it was comforting to know that Nadya took great care of our cat.”
About: I've taken care of stray cats who frequent around my house for a long time and taken in lost cats, and I am currently shadowing at a veterinary hospital that sees all kinds of cats so my experience and knowledge of handing cats expands every day. I love taking care of and spending time with all cats and getting to know their individual personalities.
“We're very thankful for Jeanine! She's very pleasant to work with, and my shy kitty, MisChief, welcomed her immediately. Her report card and pictures were wonderful, and we came home to a very happy kitty. It's a comfort to know our cat will be loved on and taken care of when we're away. We will definitely be a repeat customer :)”
“Jessica is amazing!! My cat loves her. I could tell it was the highlight of cheddars day. She let Cheddar snuggle in her lap, played with the cat toys, and left me a sweet note on my return. Jessica went over and above coming back to put Cheddar inside after he escapd by clawing through the screen in my bedroom. She gave me frequent updates. It was great to have Cheddar so well cared for. She’s the best!”
About: I’m calm, patient, and attentive, which helps cats feel comfortable around me. I understand that every cat has a different personality, so I take time to let them warm up at their own pace. I’m consistent with feeding, litter box cleaning, and keeping their space clean, and I pay attention to small changes in behavior. Whether your cat is playful or more independent, I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and cared for.
“If you want peace of mind while out of town, book with Megan! She (& her adorable daughters) took great care of my two, very spoiled and a bit high maintenance cats during our Thanksgiving vacation. Megan was there when she said she would be, was very communicative, and sent us super cute pictures. Simply put - she is the best! I will definitely reach out to her in the future.”
“Maria watched our fluffy, 6 year old girl for ~10 days while we were out of town, dropping in to check on her twice a day, and we couldn't be happier with how everything went! We received daily updates with pictures so we knew our girl was happy and getting some much-needed attention. Maria watched Kasha for an extended period previously which is why we requested her this time, and we will continue to request her in the future for our cat-sitting needs.”
“Sarah was amazing with my two cats! From the moment I met her, her calm and kind energy set all of us at ease. My high energy cat and fluffy scaredy cat both took to her immediately. She was caring, on time, sent cutest pictures and left the house tidy. I would recommend her to all my friends!”
“Steph did an incredible job checking in on my cats. I've only had them a short while, so in some ways, I wasn't able to advise in advance. She quickly figured out my cat's preferences and made sure they both got attention. All of their basic needs were met, and I came back to litter boxes that had obviously been taken care of. I look forward to using her in the future.”
About: I’ve taken care of cats since I can remember. Once, we had multiple litters resulting in 17 total felines in the household! Our cats were indoor/outdoor cats growing up, we received many “gifts” from the outdoors. Now my family keeps them indoor. I recently rescued a lost kitten we’ve named Luna, can’t wait to meet your kitty(ies)!

“Annie and Ty have taken wonderful care of my three dogs. My dogs come home, tired and happy! They’ve shared many pics and taken them on walks which my pups love! Their home is a caring, wonderful place for my dogs to hang out when I can’t be with them.Thanks so much guys!!!”
About: Lived with dogs most of my life and have experience working with new born puppies to senior dogs. Most of my boarding experience is with larger breeds. I’m currently working part-time from home, so I have lots of flexibility and time. I am available regularly from 8 AM to 1 PM Monday-Friday. I am also available after 2 PM on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I also have availability in the evenings after 5 PM and both Saturdays and Sundays. I have a large fenced in backyard with two very friendly dogs of my own. We also have a cat in my home that gets along very well with the dogs. We also have a chinchilla, but he stays in his cage. I have multiple sizes crates available for use.
“Holly was wonderful with Anna my German Shepherd. She took great care of her. When I returned Anna was calm and very happy. Happy to have new friends to play with and very happy with her new doggie day care. Everything was very nice. Holly is exceptionally kind and in touch with what animals need and want. Thank you Holly for an excellent experience for Anna.”
“This was my first time leaving my puppy with somebody outside of family. Marina was wonderful! She texted me plenty of updates, pictures and videos throughout the day which helped put me at ease. I can tell that she truly loves dogs and is great at caring for them! Thank you!”
“I’m so grateful for Chris & Corinne and the awesome job they did taking care of my dog, Kieran. I needed some last-minute help and not only were they able to accommodate my short notice booking, but they also made time to squeeze in a meet-and-greet session so my dog could have a chance to acclimate a little. My dog can be a bit anxious and tends to warm to new people pretty slowly, but within minutes of meeting he seemed at ease in their home and even came up to them for pets. During the actual visit, I got a midday check-in, complete with a photo of my boy relaxing and looking perfectly comfortable and content without me. If I wasn’t in the process of moving, I would definitely use them as our regular sitters!”
About: Hi there! I grew up with rabbits (Netherland dwarfs) and have been a personal cat owner (five cats!) for 12 years. I have nursed my cats back from surgery and just honestly adore every kind of animal. I’m great with the more nervous and anxious ones, using patience and care to gain trust. I would love to walk, play with, and care for your fur babies! I have a very flexible schedule and am available for many hours. If you have shift work or a non-traditional schedule, or need me for when you travel, I would love to work with you and your animals! Whatever your home situation is, I will pay undivided attention to them and ensure their best physical and mental health while you are away! I also believe in frequent communication so that you know your fur baby is happy and healthy.
“Christine is the consummate professional. She is competent, reliable, courteous, punctual, detail oriented, friendly and goes out of her way to accommodate her clients. After our first drop off with Christine, our pup came home relaxed and happy - a sure sign that he felt safe and had a good time! I would not hesitate to recommend Christine to anyone.”
About: Caring for animals brings me so much joy, and I truly believe pets are family. I’ve grown up with dogs and cats, and I currently have a 2 year old cat who is adorable. I understand how important it is to have someone reliable, loving, and attentive to care for your pet when you’re away — and I’d be honored to be that person. Whether it’s a walk, a cozy overnight stay, or just some playful company, I’ll treat your pet like my own. I'm calm, patient, and I pay attention to every detail, from routines to special quirks and needs. My goal is to ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you're gone — and to give you peace of mind. I'm currently working part-time, which gives me the flexibility and energy to provide attentive, loving care to your pets — especially when they need it most. On weekdays after 3 PM and throughout the weekends, I’m available for boarding, drop-ins, or walks. Whether it's a cozy evening walk, playtime in the yard, or a relaxing overnight stay, I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. Spending quality time with animals helps me unwind and brings so much happiness into my life — and I’d love to share that with your furry friend! I have a fenced yard and a indoor cat. Whether it's a cozy evening walk, playtime in the yard, or a relaxing overnight stay, I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for.
“Hanna is great. My dog Zeus stayed with her several times now and each time he was completely relaxed and happy when I picked him up. He tends to be skeptical of strangers and stressed out by daycare, but not with Hanna. He gets to play with her dog Bigsby, plays with toys, solves puzzles, goes for walks and eventually snuggles on the sofa when he is tired. Hanna deeply cares about a dog's needs.”
“Lisa came through last minute to look after Chief and Rux. Despite them being a little nervous on the first Rover visit, they loved Lisa and her ability to connect with them and spend their afternoon getting lots of love and attention. Thank you so much Lisa!”
“He is literally a life saver I needed a last minute sitter and he came to the rescue for my Tito. Walked him took to park and Michael is very understanding would definitely recommend!!!”
“Michelle and Steve treated our puppy like one of their own. Their home is a doggy's dream playground and their dog Daisy is a very sweet and friendly companion. Tapi loves going there and can't wait to go inside during drop off. We'll definitely use their services again.”
About: I have been an animal lover my whole life and luckily WFH, so I can be with them all day and night! There is a big dog run across from my apartment and I am surrounded by grass and beautiful trails for nice long walks.My partner also works from home and he is second line of support! Your dog will always be walked, played with and cared for ! He will also do the heavy lifting for drop offs and pick ups I work from home a few hours a day, so I have plenty of time to play, feed, and go for long walks with any kind of dog. On the weekends I am always flexible and I am usually a home body so if your dog needs attention, I am able to give it as much as it wants ! I am across from a dog run, and dog park if the owners allow the dog to go. I am surrounded by the mission trails and a lot of grass and greenery that if the dog needs the outdoors frequently I am able to take them out. If your dog loves to lounge and play, I am home all day to give it the attention it needs.
About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I always had a good relationship with them. I started to learn how to show them basic tricks as well. I am currently working part time. I am available Monday through Friday from 3pm-7pm. For weekends availability I am available any time through out the day. I like in apartments but it does have a patio as well as a big park to take them to walk. As for going to your home I am respectful of everyone’s belongings and will not touch things that aren’t for the pets.
“Gris was amazing to us , she is very good at communicating and ease every fear you can have. It was my first time leaving my dog with someone else for a long period of time (8 ish hours lol ) and knowing that my dog is not the easiest pup I was very worried and stressed about the whole situation.Thankfully I found Gris , she was able to book us last minute, was very easy to communicate with, sent me pictures and answer my messages promptly. My dog loved spending the day at her house and playing with the other pups, he was exhausted from all the playing at the end of the day. I would highly recommend her.”
About: Doggies with short snouts welcome here! 🐾 I love all kinds of pups; seniors, short snouts, & snugglers of all breeds 💕 [Bulldog breeds, Pugs, Boston Terriers, King Charles Spaniels, & more!] My entire world was my Frenchie, Layla 'Sweet Potata', until she passed from old age. I deeply understand that your dog isn't just a pet—they are your absolute family, and I know exactly how much trust it takes to leave them with someone else. Because of Layla, I speak fluent "snort and grunt" and understand the specific nuances that come with flatter-faced breeds. Your baby will receive the exact same vigilance, tenderness, and love that I gave my own girl. 🐾 What Sets My Home Apart: One Family at a Time: I work from home full-time, so your dog will have constant companionship. To keep things calm and focused, I only host one dog (or two from the same household) at a time. They will never have to compete for a lap or love. I'm hyper-aware of the daily maintenance these special pups need. I’m fully equipped to handle tail pocket cleanliness, regular wrinkle wiping, and ear upkeep. You are welcome to bring your own preferred supplies, but I have plenty of resources here to keep them fresh, clean, and happy. Spine & Heat Safety: To prevent IVDD and protect their backs, my home features ramps and stairs for all couches and beds. Inside is kept cool with continuous A/C over smooth hardwood floors, and outside features a large, naturally grassy yard with a tall fence—and no neighbor dogs on either side for a stress-free potty time. Medications & Routines: I am completely comfortable administering oral medications and eye drops, and I closely monitor breathing and temperature limits. I work from home, so your dog will receive full-time attention, supervision, and care. My home has central A/C, a fenced grass backyard for them to enjoy San Diego weather, and tons of toys & beds to cuddle in. Your pup will always be welcome on the couch and my bed. Fun for a flat-faced pup is all about balancing engagement with safety, and my day is built around that rhythm. Your pup will leave happy, safe and well rested.
“Kara was amazing! My anxious and hyperactive pup loooves going to see her. She comes back calm, content, and happily worn out. Kara goes above and beyond , bringing her to the park, multiple walks, and made her homemade healthy dog treats. Best of all she is so clearly at ease when I drop her off in the mornings that I am able to relax at work knowing she’s happy and in good hands.”

About: I’ve always had a dog and have taken care of family and friends’ dogs of all different ages, ranging from puppies to senior dogs.

I provide fresh water, meals, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention to ensure they’re not only cared for but feel loved. I also treat every client's home with care and respect, keep the space clean, and provide regular updates with messages and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they're away.
About: I've been house sitting/ pet sitting for about 15 years now. My friends, family, and neighbors have all trusted me to watch their furry, feathered,or scaled babies for long trips out of state/country or for last minute help. I personally have a few different types of animals from cats and dogs to bunnies and my snake and a few chickens. I've also had experience with live stock as well. I'm also looking going to school to be a vet tech as well! I love going on hikes and being outside so if your furry friends like long walks we will fit perfectly together! I hope to get to know and help you and your babies soon! I am available any day of the week and weekends the only time I'm unavailable is Thursday's from 8pm-12pm for karaoke hosting. Other then that I am free! My house/backyard is safe for dogs and I also have crates for dogs but I perfer to stay where they are comfortable and not anxious. The pets tend to have better experiences when I stay at the client's home.
“They were awesome. My dog had a blast. She came home very well walked and very happy. I appreciated the promptness in which they responded to my request for services. Will definitely look into using them in the future”
“Jeanine is an excellent care provider. She’s always reliable but what makes her the best is her love and care for my dog, Cinna. I know she sees many animals throughout her day and she still treats Cinna like she’s important and special. I highly recommend booking with Jeanine for quality and loving care for your pet.”
About: Animals have been part of my life since I was little — I grew up with six dogs and started caring for them on my own around age 10. It was never a chore. I genuinely loved it. Since then I’ve looked after pets for friends, family, and neighbors, and that same feeling has never gone away. I do drop-in visits, walks, and boarding. Your pet is welcome to stay in my home, where they’ll be treated like family — not just watched over, but truly loved. I give a lot of affection and I make sure every animal feels safe, seen, and cared for. I’m trained in pet first aid and CPR, can handle oral and injected medications, and have experience with senior animals and pets with special needs. Whatever your pet needs, I’ll show up for them. I know leaving your pet with someone new can feel hard. I just want you to feel at ease — and I want your animal to feel loved while you’re gone. I’m currently studying psychology online, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet real attention. I’m available for boarding on weekdays and weekends, and I offer drop-in visits and walks in the morning or afternoon — any day of the week. Your pet is welcome to stay in my home, where everything is calm, clean, and safe. I can also come to your home if that’s what’s most comfortable for your pet. Either way, I’m respectful of their routine and give them plenty of love and attention throughout the day. I always clean up after myself and make sure your animal feels at ease the whole time you’re away.
“Sarah was the best! She walked our dog, Bella, for a few weeks. Bella can be tough to walk, and Sarah made it look easy. Bella absolutely loved her and waiting for her by the window each day. Will definitely book Sarah again!”
About: Hi there! I’m Logan and I thank you for giving my profile a look! My family has had dogs in our house since 2009, so I’ve taken care of multiple dogs in my life. I love any breed and size! I can’t work with cats as much family has a history of cat allergies. I can’t wait to meet you and your dog(s) wagging tail(s) My mom used to work at a school and asked me to take care of our two dogs for the day while she was gone. I made sure they had food, water, went to the restroom and had lots of fun! I treat all the dogs we have like they’re my child. I take care of them to make sure they live long happy lives! It’s nice to cuddle with them.
“Madeline saved the day again! She’s professional, passionate and considerate. Apppa loves her. Highly recommend her to everyone with a fur baby in the Monterey area”
“Nadya helped us with a last minute request and took Peanut out for a potty trip early morning. She responded very fast and kept us updated about the walk. We really appreciate her help.”
About: Throughout my life I’ve lived and played with dogs of all sizes and ages. My parents had a small, old dog until we moved and brought in a golden retriever. Before I was 10, I was out in charge of raising a German Shepard puppy who grew to be 100 lbs! I currently have a small mixed breed and a black lab, we keep each other entertained and happy. I currently work part-time and have plenty of time to meet and take care of your pets. I do travel occasionally and will keep my availability up to date. I live in a fenced-in half-acre where the dogs & chickens run freely. Indoor care and/or crating is no problem as long as the animals can feel safe. I’d prefer to come to you where your pet(s) might be more comfurtable and will be sure to leave your home is as-good-or-better cleanliness than I find it in.
“Sofya was fantastic! We are so thankful she was here to help during a busy work week that we had. She was trustworthy, attentive, and took great care of our pup. Highly recommend and we will gladly work with Sofya again!”

About: I spent three wonderful years working at a veterinarian hospital, where I developed a deep affection for dogs. While I don’t currently have any pets of my own, I cherish the opportunity to care for and enjoy the company of the pups we host. I have experience in medication management, seniors, and even disabled pups. i only work 3 days a week at a level one trauma hospital in the operating room. I’m able to make my schedule 2 months in advance which helps out with future vacation dates you may need. I’m big on being outdoors so we will be taking many walks depending on your schedule at home. I have a small side yard however, I live within 5 minutes of walking to an awesome park that I go to daily. You won’t have to worry about exercise in my neighborhood.
About: I've been a dog owner for my entire life, attending dog training classes as early as 6 y/o. In the past, I shared responsibility for 2 family dogs (a Doberman and Springer Spaniel). I also have my own puppy, a friendly little mini-poodle named Peri! I’ve been dog sitting for friends and family for 8+ years, and offering services on Rover for over a year now. I love all dogs and I will work to meet a variety of needs, from high energy puppies to elderly/disabled dogs. I don’t have a lot of experience with cats, but I’m happy to learn. I’m looking forward to meeting your furry friend! Right now I have a very open schedule to dedicate to pet care. I take classes on Mondays and Wednesdays at IVC, and work at Mission Hospital on weekends. Communication with clients is my #1 safety priority. I will ask questions to determine how to best care for each individual pet. I try to maintain a sense of normalcy/ routine to keep pets calm in what could be an otherwise stressful situation.
About: I bring a perfect balance of energy, responsibility, and genuine love for animals. As an active student athlete, I can keep up with dogs of all activity levels and make sure they get plenty of exercise and attention. I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, and my large fenced backyard offers a safe, fun space for them to play. With a friendly dog of my own, lots of toys, and a calm, caring approach, I make every pet feel at home. You can count on me to treat your dog like family and give them the best care possible. I have plenty of availability, especially during the holidays. With my flexible schedule as a student athlete, I can dedicate time for daily walks, play sessions, or overnight stays, ensuring your pet gets consistent care. When your pet stays with me, they’ll enjoy a safe, fun environment with a big backyard. I’ll follow your instructions carefully and keep them on their usual routine. If they’re staying in your home, I’ll treat your space with respect while keeping them happy and comfortable.
About: Growing up, my family and I have had 4 wonderful, healthy dogs! My family (parents specifically) have extensive experience in breeding as they are certified breeders. We are huge animal lovers and have always been passionate about giving the best life for our furry friends! I am currently working as a server, therefore I do occasionally work late nights (latest 10:00pm). With that, I am still always available to come before and after work as needed. When I take care of a pet in their home, my focus is on creating a seamless experience for both the pet and their owner. I follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, and any specific care instructions. I make sure to spend quality time with them, whether that’s playing, going on walks, or simply giving them attention and affection. I also keep the home clean and organized, ensuring food and water areas are tidy and that any messes are promptly cleaned up. Communication is important to me, so I send regular updates and photos to the owner to keep them at ease while they’re away. My goal is to make the pet feel secure and cared for, and the owner confident that their furry family member is in great hands.

“Sarah was incredibly easy to coordinate with and very responsive throughout the entire process. My dog had such a great time and got along wonderfully with her pups. We’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Our pup who is often overly shy with new dogsitters easily adjusted to Cori and Chris (her quickest transition so far as she was snoring on the couch within the first hour). They are both so welcoming, patient, and kind— we already have our second stay booked. Sophie gives her first stay two paws up!”
“Norma was amazing!! Murphy had a great time in her large yard, going on frequent walks and playing with a few others dogs and even a cat! Norma was very communicative and sent a lot of photos to keep us updated on how Murphy was doing. Murphy came back to us healthy and happy and will definitely be booking again soon! :)”
“Ronald was a fantastic dog sitter! He had a meet & greet with us beforehand to see how our dog would get along with the other dogs to make sure she was comfortable. His communication was excellent too! He sent pictures with updates throughout the whole stay. I highly recommend him.”
“Stacey and Christopher boarded my dog for four nights and took great care of her! I’d never boarded my dog before nor left her for an extended time so needless to say I was a bit anxious! But after the meet and greet I felt at ease knowing she’d be in good care. Christopher immediately began playing with my pup, and Stacey asked really involved, clarifying questions about her care that I knew they were well versed in the dog sitting world. I received photos and updates while away, and they are always prompt with communicate. Would book again!”
“Lisa was great from the very start, with excellent communication. We have not left our dogs overnight in someone else’s home before but from the photos Lisa sent, they seem to have fitted in to her home quickly and easily. We appreciated getting updates and Lisa’s flexibility around pick up. Thanks Lisa and I’m sure we will be back soon!”
“Marina and Kathryn were exceptionally kind. It was the first time I had left Oliver with someone who wasn't family. However, he returned home very happy and with new friends. My family and I are very pleased with Marina and Kathryn for hosting Oliver as their guest.”
“Holly was an amazing sitter for Hazel. I received regular pupdates with pictures and in every single photo Hazel looked absolutely comfortable and happy with Holly, her home, and her family (including her 2 dogs). I feel 100% confident and comfortable using Holly’s services in the near future and would recommend her to anyone.”
“Rachel was awesome! She was super accommodating to my dog’s separation anxiety and my dog had such a great, relaxing time! Rachel even prepared some extra food for my dog when I didn’t leave enough food for her stay <3 Thank you so much!!”
“Crystal came through for us last minute and she was great with Baxter! She provided an update and showed that my shy and timid dog warmed up to her and her family just as expected. Communication from start to finish was awesome too! Will definitely book with her again.”
“Very friendly and accommodating. Our dog seemed very happy and well cared for. Mayank was also very responsive and sent regular updates with pictures each day. Highly recommend!”
“Khamsay and Amit were wonderful with Murphy!! They were very thorough at the start of boarding to make sure that they understood all of her care guidelines. We got multiple pictures throughout the day and it seems like Murphy got a lot of walks and play time!! Very sweet and attentive family!”
“Martin and Crystal took great care of our boy Blu! We took a trip for over a week during the holidays and Martin and Crystal were easy to work with and happy to take our fur baby. They have a great setup for dogs and they provide a homely and comfortable atmosphere. Their dogs were also great playmates. I appreciated that they provided updates throughout the week. Blu came home happy and exhausted! I am looking forward to booking with them again and I know Blu is too!!”
“Our family is incredibly grateful for Julia's care of Theo and 8Ball during our family trip. Now that they're back home, both are active, healthy, and doing well. Their past few days have been comfortable and reassuring.”
“Michelle and Steve were so easy to work with and so friendly. We were out of town and in a pinch of a sitter. They were so flexible and worked around our drop off pick up schedule. Dogs were well taken care of and had lots of fun playing with other dogs.”
“We just used Gelare and Sama for the first time while we traveled for a week. Upon our meet and greet I could tell that they were warm and gentle, just the kind of people I knew my dog would be happy with. Everyday we were away they would send pictures, videos and messages with updates. They truly loved and cared for our fur baby the way we do. We are so grateful to have found them and will definitely be using them again when we travel. I would absolutely recommend anyone else wanting to use them.”
“Eriana was wonderful! She met us the night before to allow our pups to get acquainted, so when we dropped our dog off the next day, he was excited to stay. She communicated clearly and regularly with us and sent pics so we could see how everyone was doing! Our dog got plenty of exercise, which was great (and one of the most important things for us) because he is still only 1 and has lots of energy. We would highly recommend her and wouldn't hesitate to ask her to watch our dog again whenever we need support!”
“Dahui was wonderful with Kaleb. He's a senior dog on a special diet who requires medication 3x daily and had the added bonus of needing ear drops while he was there. She was perfect with all of it! I could tell how at home he felt with her and she sent tons of photos and videos. I'll definitely use Dahui again!”
“Very happy with our experience. Our dog had a great time with Ryan's family. Ryan was easy to communicate with and he was very accommodating when our travel plans changed unexpectedly at the last minute and we had to extend the boarding for a few days.”
