“Chona was a fantastic sitter for our Frenchie, Coco. She communicated often with texts and photos, took Coco on walks and outings, and made sure she was comfortable and calm the whole stay. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog and would definitely book with Chona again.”
“Rochelle and her family were great. She responds quickly and sends updates. Lots of kids in the home to love on your pet and befriend them. My little pup seemed happy during her stay and I would send her back!”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience with Blaze! From the moment I dropped off my dog, I knew she was in loving, capable hands. She treated my pup like family, going above and beyond to ensure she was not only cared for, but pampered — like a true spa treatment! What really stood out was her attentiveness and care. She helped identify the root cause of a skin irritation my dog had been struggling with, which no one else had caught. Thanks to her insight and care, my dog came home not only happy and relaxed but also with a shiny, clean coat and noticeably healthier skin. She sent me daily photos and updates, which truly gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was such a relief knowing my dog was safe, loved, and well cared for. I’m beyond grateful we found Blaze!”
“Linda was so great with our dear Moki lab/husky mix. She sent pictures and updates and I always knew our dog was in the best hands. I would use Linda's services again in a heartbeat!”
“Brittany and James took a GREAT care of our dog (Blue Heeler) for a little over two weeks. They are very professional, reliable, and responsive. On July 4th, they did everything they could to calm our dog since he was very scared of fireworks. My dog loved to cuddle between Brittany and James 😁 Thank you so much for giving love to Uni and for what you do! I would recommend to anyone who is looking for a responsible and loving care for your pups! 🐶”
“Annmarie did an amazing job taking care of our dogs. She regularly updated us and sent us pictures of our dogs. We will definitely be leaving our dogs again next time.”
“Thank you Lisa so much for taking good care of my special needs senior girl. This was my first time using Rover and Lisa made my first experience great. She sent me pictures of my fur baby from the moment I dropped her off to the day I picked her up which really put my anxiety at ease. I will definitely book Lisa again to dog sit my senior girl. 🩷 Thank you again.”
“Valerie is amazing! She took fantastic care of Sassy. She kept us updated with pictures and videos of their daily walks. Sassy was well taken care of, was given her daily eye drops and almost didn't want to come home.”

“Stephanie was great with our girl, it was our first time leaving her with someone other than a family member and she made us feel very at ease. The daily pictures and updates helped and she was well taken care of.”
About: I’ve owned and taken care of all types of dogs. From Rottweilers to currently owning a Rat Terrier. I love dogs and have been known to be able to teach them some minor tricks. Most importantly, I love to let them be themselves and have fun. I walk every day for exercise, so walking your dog would not be an issue for me. The more I walk the more weight I’ll lose. I have a one bedroom apartment. But it’s big enough to take care of multiple pets. My dog has three beds herself. I have a playpen area where they can play many dog toys, and treats.
About: Hi, my name is Angela! I have extensive experience with high-energy dogs that thrive on special activities and routines. As the proud owner of an Australian Shepherd named Mila, I understand the needs of smart, active dogs who require both physical and mental stimulation to stay happy and well-behaved. I absolutely adore my Aussie, and I will love and care for your pet just as much! 🐾 I also volunteer, which gives me a very flexible schedule to meet the needs of you and your furry family member. Your pet will be treated like my own, with plenty of love, attention, and care. I live in a spacious three-bedroom home, offering plenty of room for your pet to roam, explore, and even enjoy some playtime with Mila. I look forward to meeting your fur baby and providing them with the best care possible. 💜 Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As a dog owner myself, I’m already accustomed to planning my days around activities like walks, playtime, feeding, and training sessions. I schedule my work flexibly, so I can dedicate the time and attention needed for each pet I care for. Whether it’s daily visits, extended stays, or specific routines, I seamlessly integrate pet care into my week to ensure every furry friend feels loved and well-cared for. My girl Mila is very well cared for (some might say spoiled!), and I make sure she’s fed on a consistent schedule every single day. She has plenty of toys to keep her entertained, and you can expect the same level of care and attention for your furry friend.
“Mrs. Ines and her husband took such wonderful care of my baby. She kept me updated on how things were going and responded immediately when I would reach out. Doodles had such a good time, she literally didn't want to leave. We'll definitely be contacting Mrs. Ines again for her services.”

“Celia went above and beyond doing a few overnight stays taking care of my senior cat. She is a joy to be around and also cooked us a meal for when we got home. Thank you so much, you are appreciated!”
About: I’ve had cats all my life, from bottle kittens to senior cats. Cats have always had a special place in my heart, and I’ve owned indoor and outside cats, as well as sat for people with both before. I’m very attentive to details and instructions when it comes to pet sitting, and I’ve always valued the importance of respecting the owners home.
“We couldn’t be happier with Chelsea’s care for our cats, Sol and Luna! From the moment we met her, it was clear she loves animals and treats them like her own. She kept us updated with daily photos and messages, which really gave us peace of mind while we were away. Chelsea’s attention to detail, like making sure their favorite toys were out and giving them extra cuddles, truly made a difference. We highly recommend her for anyone looking for a reliable, loving pet sitter. Sol and Luna give her two paws up!”
“Can always count on Helen! She always takes excellent care of our two boys! She is super reliable and always very communicative throughout the whole process! Thank you again we always appreciate you!”
About: I’m a huge cat person and grew up with Mainecoones! Cats are such wonderful emotionally intelligent creatures and deserve a care taker who understands them or at the very least strives to! I promise to be that! I am very loving, kind and calm around kitties and have lots of experience training and taking feral cats even! I look forward to getting to know your kitty friends!
“Charlene was amazing! She kept in contact with me daily, administered my older kitties meds, checked in with me to make sure I’d be home as expected and embraced one of the cats snuggling and sleeping with her. A true joy and highly recommend!”
“Emily was great, all of our cats seemed great upon return. She was responsive and very thoughtful. She even thought to ask if she should do anything extra when a large storm was coming through.”
“Had to leave our cats for about a week. Just asked for a daily check-in and feeding. Also did ask for her to try to give our little girl Mei a daily pill. We figured Mei would disappear and give her no chance. But she got her her medicine every day except for the first day. Impressive. Also cleaned up some cat sick. Very happy. And cats seemed very happy.”
“I hesitate to leave a raving review on Amber because she’s so Awesome that she’ll be high demand I won’t be able to book her again! I seriously can’t say enough about the comfort I felt leaving my fur baby in Amber’s care. She loves on our Miley like she’s her own. She was prompt to all 3 drop in visits for several days in a row. Miley absolutely loves her and my dog’s usually a little timid and scared of strangers. I not only felt very comfortable having Amber take care of Miley but also come into our house each day.”
“We recently moved to the area and were in need of someone to care for our senior cat. We found Linda and we are so glad we did! She is kind and professional and she takes her job seriously. She took great care of our kitty and even sent us pictures of a kitty that hangs around our property. We are happy knowing we have Linda for any cat care needs in the future.”
“Sabrina took great care of my fur baby! I was a little nervous leaving my kitty with a stranger because she seemed a little nervous with new people. But she warmed up to Sabrina so quickly and now has new friends to babysit her! I would definitely have Sabrina watch my baby again. She takes wonderful pictures and videos! I recommend her for any fur baby in need of a friend! ❤️”
“I will definitely use Kelsee's services the next time we travel. She was always pleasant and flexible. I could not have asked for better. She gave us just enough contact with text and photos to keep us comfortable. We knew our 20-year-old cat was in good hands. She also kept the wild birds fed and potted plants watered. Thank you Kelsee!”

“Excellent! Tallulah was out like a light for the rest of the evening. Sabrina was very caring and kept me posted all day. Her visits will definitely be a regular thing. ❤️”
“Linda was ready to take care of our pups when we arrived. She has tons of experience with many dogs and we felt at peace leaving our two there for the day while we went to see the Sequoias. If we come back to the area and need a sitter again we will certainly contact Linda!”

About: I grew up always having a pup by my side. Even in my teens I had up to 3 dogs at one time. There were times we’d all camp on the porch and have doggie camp outs (we lived in a ranch at that time). My love for dogs has only gotten stronger as I have gotten older. I have one available kennel that has constant running water and is covered along with concrete flooring and is cleaned multi times a day if in use. During your pets stay we will go on multiple walks, lots of petting and if they love it brushings. I genuinely care about the animal and their needs and want nothing more to make them happy. We live on a 40 acre ranch but would keep your pup on a leash during walks.
About: I've been caring for animals for most of my life, and pets have always been cherished members of my family. Over the years, we've lovingly cared for dogs, cats, birds, fish, turtles, and guinea pigs, giving me experience with a variety of personalities and care needs. As a proud grandma with lots of energy, I understand that every pet deserves love, patience, and individual attention. Whether it's going for walks, playing fetch, giving belly rubs, keeping a regular feeding schedule, or simply providing companionship, I'll treat your pet as if they were my own. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family member. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you're away, so you can have peace of mind knowing they're in caring hands. Since I'm retired, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your dog the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Daily walks are already part of my routine, so having a furry friend join me makes them even more enjoyable! I live in a quiet, safe, gated community that's perfect for relaxing walks and exploring new sights and smells. Whether your dog enjoys an energetic stroll, a leisurely walk, or simply spending time with someone who loves animals, I'll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and included in my day. Your dog's safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities. I'll treat them like family, giving them lots of love, attention, and affection while they're in my care. When pets stay in my home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved from the moment they arrive. My home has an open floor plan with plenty of space for pets to relax, play, and be part of the family. I also have a securely fenced yard where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time, fresh air, and play. I follow each pet's regular routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications (if needed), and plenty of affection. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, so I take the time to help them feel at ease and give them the individual attention they deserve. My goal is to provide a calm, clean, loving environment where your pet feels right at home while you're away, giving you peace of mind that they're being cared for like one of my own.
“Chona was great with our dobie - took him in after a very last minute request, which is so difficult to find lately! She provided lots of photos & updates, which we greatly appreciate. She was also very communicative before & during his stay with her. We will definitely be booking with her again, thank you so much Chona!🐶🤎”
“Jessica and her family were absolutely amazing with Marley! 🐾 They treated him like one of their own from the moment he arrived. He even got to go on a car ride (which he loves!), enjoyed a few walks including a bonus third walk! and received so much love and snuggle time from the kids. It was clear he was in heaven the entire time. He came home happy, relaxed, and very calm tonight… which all the doodle moms and dads know is not the usual doodle energy level 😂 I’m so grateful for the care and attention they gave him. We would absolutely book with Jessica and her sweet family again! 💛”
“This was my first time using ROVER.and am completely satisfied!! We arrived at our hotel and learned that while it is pet friendly you can’t leave your animal unattended. We had planned two days of motorcycle riding and having him ride in front of me was not an option. In a panic I downloaded Rover from the App Store and found Michele!! The entire family was AMAZING!! Their dog CC made Moultrie feel at home. In fact he had such a great time the first day that he bounded into the house the next morning! THANK YOU for everything!! Jessica”
About: Hi, I grew up around several different animals of all sizes from rodents/reptiles to livestock/dogs. I have always had at least one dog in my life at all times. The more the merrier. I love all animals big and small. I worked at a kennel where I learned about boarding and training dogs for about a year and I have pet sat for about 15 years in grand total. I currently work at a pet store in Sutter Creek. I love being around dogs and training or even just hanging out and playing. I am a outdoorsy person. I have experience with livestock animals also. Horses, cattle, chickens, Lhamas, mini animals, donkeys. I have references also if you would like them. Our home is completely fenced and sits on 3 acres. We have two friendly german shepherds. I work part time so some days I am gone at work. But our 17 year old daughter is always home. We also go to church Sunday morning so we would be gone for a couple hours but otherwise we are always home. I care for pets in my home as I would my own. I have 3 German Shepherds. 10 months to 7 years old. As for in home pet sitting I would follow whatever routine you have set for your fur babies already so it would be easier on them.
“Jasmine had a daytime stay with Rochelle and her lovely family. I was so happy to see how much her children enjoyed having Jasmine. They were all calling her a princess and asking when she could come back. I would highly recommend this sweet sitter ☺️🐾🐾”
About: I’ve owned and taken care of all types of dogs. From Rottweilers to currently owning a Rat Terrier. I love dogs and have been known to be able to teach them some minor tricks. Most importantly, I love to let them be themselves and have fun. I walk every day for exercise, so walking your dog would not be an issue for me. The more I walk the more weight I’ll lose. I have a one bedroom apartment. But it’s big enough to take care of multiple pets. My dog has three beds herself. I have a playpen area where they can play many dog toys, and treats.
“Weilin is the best! She provided pictures through out the day to show how my puppy Luna was doing. She was very detailed about what activities Luna had done throughout the day and was sure to ask what was allowed and what wasn’t. Luna had such a great time and was so tired she fell asleep early. She’s very responsive for messages and overall will take great care of your pup! Highly recommend her!”
About: Though I am not well versed in special needs dogs, ones with anxiety I know far to well as my Bella suffers daily. Constant love and affection would be given to ensure your fur babies feel right at home as if you’ve never left. Hello I’m Melissa a newly FT stay at home mom of 2. I homeschool during the morning and have fun by mid afternoon so adding some visitors to my day would be my pleasure! Both my Bombay cat and Deer Chihuahua were rescued. I work with many rescues in the surrounding areas to make sure all strays brought home find their forever homes. I do live in a rental so I do request that they are potty trained! Both my cat and dog are fully house broke and getting up in the night for those midnight tinkle breaks are possible since my dog is a senior and needs to go too. I hope that gives you a little insight to my life and allows you to be comfortable in choosing me as your fur babies mini vaca destination. I have a fully fenced decent size back yard with cameras for lots of room to run and get their wiggles out or just explore and sunbathe. I have a large crate if they prefer some quiet time alone just request you bring their favorite bed or blanket so they have a piece of home to comfort them.
“This was our first time booking a doggy daycare with Ryckie, she was so great with our dobie Odyn! She made sure to send updates with photos which is super important to us. He had a blast, & was very well taken care of! 10/10 will definitely be booking with her again, thank you Ryckie!🤎🐶”
About: I absolutely love dogs with everything I have. I will provide your baby the best health, care and affection. It would be a pleasure to take care morning potty break outside, go inside to feed breakfast, morning dog park, lunch time, afternoon park, dinner time, potty break outside before sleeping inside with treats, food, and water I live in a very safe and quiet community. No cars usually pass by and I have a very big fenced backyard with a big lawn of grass.
“Lisa and her husband are AMAZING! They were so flexible which was a huge help when our plans changed. They were responsive, considerate, friendly and sent photos of our puppy having fun. Very grateful!”
“Blaze is absolutely THE BEST! I needed someone last minute and she was available and took amazing care of my dog. He helped her do all the fam chores this morning, met a bunch of new animals and loved her kids. Would recommend 1000%”
“angela kept monty for a few hours and so i was worried he wouldnt get a chance to settle in. thankfully angela had a super calm and gentle energy and he had a place to rest while i was away at a meeting. thank you!”
About: I have always been in love with animals, and so from a young age I have always been the one to help a person babysit there fur babies if needed, and what better way to spend time making money, taking care of different amazing animals. It brings me pure joy!:) I am pretty flexible and could do it any day of the week, but I prefer not to do over nights unless you are gone for long periods of time. I always make sure that other peoples pets are comfortable with me, and have everything that they need, and more. One on one time with the animals are also important to me as the bond clicks faster. I will always make sure everyone’s animals are 100% being taken of with only the best care! And loved!!!!
“Annmarie has been an excellent sitter for my pup, Beau. She is kind, attentive, and truly loves animals. My pup gets excited when we pull up to her home and races to her door! I would highly recommend Annmarie to anyone looking for a dependable dog sitter.”

About: Pets and people go hand in hand. I take care of people and now I will care for your Pets. They will be treated with love and care for as long as they need. I am a full time worker, but I am flexible. I will fit your pets into my schedule so you don't have to worry about them. We have a back fenced in area, and our pets are treated like part of the household. I love my pets and they are most important to me. I want them happy.
About: I have been talking care of animals all my life! Have had cats, dogs, chickens, and rabbits! I was apart of FFA in high school taking care of farm animals too! Animals have always been my passion of mine and I love their unique personalities! I learn your pets routine! If it’s walks in the morning to a midnight snack 😉 I work from home so I always have time to play with your pets, to feed them, and to give them all the scratches 🥰 I’ll keep them safe in there environment, make sure they get into nothing that they can get into. I’ve memorized all the foods dogs and cat cannot eat! Keeping them safe, healthy, and happy in there environment is my #1 priority! 🥰
About: My experience comes from owning not just dogs (XL-XS) and cats, but many animals in my lifetime. To me, living with these animals is the best way to gain experience. I have also done many house sitting jobs for people with lots of pets, and it’s something I genuinely enjoy doing. To me, the most important thing is establishing trust with your sitter, and I am a guaranteed safe person to trust any animal with. I’m great at reading animal body language and typically do well with all pets. I work at Panera, so my hours are not crazy, and never are usually longer than 4 hours, so pet sitting works great with my schedule. My college is also online so that doesn’t effect my schedule for the most part. In a clients home, it’s important to follow all of the instructions they provide, while also making their pets feel as if the owners never left.
About: I grew up on a ranch with many different animals! I have a huge love for all animals and would love nothing more than to get to share my love for animals with your pets! I am trust worthy, communicative, and promise to strive to always ensure the best experience possible! I will love and take care of your pets as if they were my own. I have experience with training basic skills to puppies and even senior care for older dogs! Females in heat? I’ve dealt with a few, they deserve all the compassion! I hope you choose me to have the pleasure of taking care of your pets! Sliding scale for pricing offered! I’m currently at home most the day and available to maneuver my schedule around your needs! You let me know what your pets need and I will make it a top priority! My cats are indoor only kitties and have lots of vertical space along with zoomi certified runways (hallways) for them to play! My yard is fenced in entirely but rather large and dogs off leash would easily be out of site if not watched. I also have a few chickens on the property so I’d like to be cautious of them.
About: I was raised on a ranch with all kinds of pets. I can't recall life without dogs we are so fortunate to have them in our lives they are unconditional in the love and affection they give . I was in dog rescue for 21 years as a foster. I had 7 dogs all were what was considered not able to be put in a home do to behavior issues the only option for these dogs was to be euthanized so I kept the rejects and had to stop rescue as to the inn was full and I still dog sat for the dogs that had been at my home until a new home was found . I have extensive experience with all types of dogs . I have a cat who pretends dogs do not exist so she just stays away, my cat was a ferel rescue cat and is now a fat and sassy house cat . I have a large home so have part of it sectioned off where her litter box and food are to keep dogs out of both . If I house sit I have experience with farm animals for feeding. I garden so watering is in my range. I'm home 80% of the time so I'm available. I may run a errand but that's about it . If weather permits and you have a road dog car rides with me are perfect. I spend a lot of my time cooking and blogging I cook for seniors in my community. If I'm gardening outside the dogs are welcome to be with me. I have a double lot so plenty of play room . Half of it is fenced for plenty of play room . I have a crate if needed . Your dog will have free roaming access in my home and allowed on the furniture . If I'm sitting your pet in your home it's your home and your rules that I follow . I have passed my Background check here on Rover to take care of your fur babies. I have passed my 2nd Government Background check to take care of children. I have passed my 3rd Goverment Background check to take care of elders . The point is I want you to be assured your fur babies are safe with me .
“Brooke is absolutely amazing!!! we couldn’t recommend her more. From the start, she was trustworthy and professional, and we felt completely comfortable giving her a key to our home. She took incredible care of our dogs, especially Hopper, who is a big, strong boy and not always easy to handle. She walked him twice a day, made sure he was well-fed, hydrated, and exercised, and treated him with so much love, like he was her own. She also gave our smaller dog plenty of attention and affection while she was there, which meant a lot to us. What really stood out was her communication. She kept us updated consistently, sent lots of pictures, and made us feel at ease the entire time we were away. She even went above and beyond by offering to pick up dog food if we needed it, something that truly shows her level of care and dedication. Brooke is reliable, attentive, and genuinely passionate about animals. It’s rare to find someone who combines professionalism with that kind of warmth and love. We 100% recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can fully trust with their pets and their home.we’ll definitely be continuing to use her for walks and care in the future.”
About: I have been owned by cats and dogs in the past. I recently transferred with my job from the East Coast to Utah, and now reside in Northern California and currently frequent the Humane Society to visit with the cats and dogs waiting for homes. Pet Sitting - I am able to walk them/feed in the mornings and after 5 p.m. Monday-Wednesday and Thursday - Sundays more frequently. I do prefer overnight pet sitting. I am reliable, responsible and have a "knack" with most pets. I do need to know about any behavioral issues (likes to chew on things that aren't their toys for example). Do they do well with new people? I prefer not to sit pit bull terriers, but mixed breeds I don't have a problem with.

“Chelsea is great! She responds quickly, shows up on time, is flexible, and has worked with me to address my dog’s needs. My dog takes a while to warm up to people, but she felt comfortable with Chelsea almost immediately and I did as well. If you are in the Jackson area I highly recommend Chelsea as a dog walker.”
About: My friends and family have relied on me to look after their dogs when they’re at work or out of town. My care consists of lots of love, running around in parks and more. I have experience in taking care of cats, dogs and elders! I’m a full time college student, as well as working for Rover part time. I will have lots of time to love and care for your pets! I am available on weekends for boarding and weekdays after 5pm. I have cared for my giant dog for the past 7 years. I love playing with him in the backyard, taking him out for runs and to the parks, as well as grooming his coat.
About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember, I have experience with puppy’s, kittens, senior pets and I enjoy being with them I work part-time night shifts and attend school to become a Veterinary Technician, so my schedule varies slightly. I keep my availability updated and am happy to accommodate early mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and many overnight pet care requests whenever possible. Please reach out if you have specific scheduling needs! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and loving environment where every pet is treated like family. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special care instructions to ensure they feel secure and stress-free. As a Veterinary Technician student, I understand the importance of proper handling, close observation, and maintaining a safe environment. I believe in building trust with both pets and their owners through dependable communication, compassion, and reliable care.
About: I've had working breeds my entire life. I am KPA-CTP (Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner) and UW-AAB (University of Washington Applied Animal Behavior) certified. *Some insurance companies cover training and behavior modification costs because of my credentials (UW-AAB & KPA-CTP). Check with your insurance to see if training and behavior modification are covered. Specializing in puppies and reactive dogs. I care for all dogs. I love animals. I became a certified positive reinforcement trainer to train my own dogs using science based humane training methods. I enjoy helping others achieve results also utilizing these methods. I ensure that all dogs are kept in secure environments and secure and safe on walks. I have extensive experience and training regarding keeping dogs safe while on public.
About: "Having grown up around animals all my life, I have a natural instinct for reading a pet's body language and understanding their needs. What sets me apart is my commitment to customized care—I adapt to your pet's specific personality, whether they are playful, shy, or need extra cuddle time. I treat every guest just like a member of my own family." Since I work from home full-time, pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine. My schedule is highly flexible, allowing me to provide constant companionship, frequent bathroom breaks, and playtime whenever needed. I naturally take breaks throughout the day to stretch my legs, which is the perfect time for walks or backyard play. Your pet will essentially be my 'co-worker' and will rarely be left unattended. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. When hosting pets in my home, I ensure the environment is fully pet-proofed, clean, and free of any hazards. Pets are never left unattended, and I always do a slow, supervised introduction if other animals are present. I strictly follow your feeding, crating, and bathroom routines to keep their environment as familiar as possible. If I am caring for your pet in your own home, I respect your space and follow your house rules to the letter. I maintain your security protocols, ensure doors and gates are always locked, and keep a close eye on your pet during walks to avoid any unsafe interactions. No matter the location, I promise to send you daily photo and text updates so you can have complete peace of mind while you are away.
About: Enrichment. Walks. Adventure time. With me, you will always have an energetic individual who will go the distance! I go hiking 3+ days out of the week and am a natural pet-lover. This would showcase that I will always have the stamina to walk with your animals. I also keep a tight schedule and vow to always stick to the routines, recommended needs, and other care information that you provide. At the end of the day, a pet is truly a human’s best friend and deserves the best care. I hope you keep me in mind when you need an individual to look after your animal! Only the best care for them. I also have a reactive dog in-training, so I have tons of hands-on experience! Sincerely, Shileen Andico I’m currently working full-time as a teacher, with summers off and breaks during holidays! This leaves me available for all times available for walks, check-ins, etc! Working with a reactive dog, I understand that care and making a dog feel safe is always top priority! I will ensure that your dog will feel comfortable with me.

“As reluctant as I was to allow a stranger to come into my home, I was that much more hesitant to allow a stranger to walk my three dogs, in the end I knew I had no other choice but to hire someone due to my work schedule. While searching I came across Jef’s profile and I decided to go with him in booking dog walking for my three dogs. Jef even came to meet my dogs before he was to begin walking them the following day. From the initial message to the first time meeting, Jef maintained great communication and updated me each day after their walks. Jef definitely has something about him that made my dogs very comfortable around him. He quickly gained their trust and vice versa. Jef is also very persistent and knowledgeable in training dogs and helping to improve any bad leash habits. I will definitely be booking Jef for any future needs and I would definitely recommend him to anyone with pets.”
About: I am a dog owner, looking to care for other dogs at my home! I have a very playful 2year old Labrador who would love to have company. Two is better than one. My wife and I would take care and keep an eye on your fur babies when you’re out for travel, short trips, vacaciones holidays or others occasions. I have a fenced yard for play and potty time. I also have a full house so you dog would never be alone because I work from home and so does my wife. We let our dogs roam free in the house.

“Rochelle and her family were great. She responds quickly and sends updates. Lots of kids in the home to love on your pet and befriend them. My little pup seemed happy during her stay and I would send her back!”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience with Blaze! From the moment I dropped off my dog, I knew she was in loving, capable hands. She treated my pup like family, going above and beyond to ensure she was not only cared for, but pampered — like a true spa treatment! What really stood out was her attentiveness and care. She helped identify the root cause of a skin irritation my dog had been struggling with, which no one else had caught. Thanks to her insight and care, my dog came home not only happy and relaxed but also with a shiny, clean coat and noticeably healthier skin. She sent me daily photos and updates, which truly gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was such a relief knowing my dog was safe, loved, and well cared for. I’m beyond grateful we found Blaze!”
“Linda was so great with our dear Moki lab/husky mix. She sent pictures and updates and I always knew our dog was in the best hands. I would use Linda's services again in a heartbeat!”
“Brittany and James took a GREAT care of our dog (Blue Heeler) for a little over two weeks. They are very professional, reliable, and responsive. On July 4th, they did everything they could to calm our dog since he was very scared of fireworks. My dog loved to cuddle between Brittany and James 😁 Thank you so much for giving love to Uni and for what you do! I would recommend to anyone who is looking for a responsible and loving care for your pups! 🐶”
“Valerie is amazing! She took fantastic care of Sassy. She kept us updated with pictures and videos of their daily walks. Sassy was well taken care of, was given her daily eye drops and almost didn't want to come home.”

“Stephanie was great with our girl, it was our first time leaving her with someone other than a family member and she made us feel very at ease. The daily pictures and updates helped and she was well taken care of.”
About: I’ve owned and taken care of all types of dogs. From Rottweilers to currently owning a Rat Terrier. I love dogs and have been known to be able to teach them some minor tricks. Most importantly, I love to let them be themselves and have fun. I walk every day for exercise, so walking your dog would not be an issue for me. The more I walk the more weight I’ll lose. I have a one bedroom apartment. But it’s big enough to take care of multiple pets. My dog has three beds herself. I have a playpen area where they can play many dog toys, and treats.
“Mrs. Ines and her husband took such wonderful care of my baby. She kept me updated on how things were going and responded immediately when I would reach out. Doodles had such a good time, she literally didn't want to leave. We'll definitely be contacting Mrs. Ines again for her services.”
“Stella and her family took great care of my puppy during his extended stay. He became very close with her family, made friends with her dogs, and took many leisurely walks in her backyard. He had a great time and seems like he even became more easygoing and outgoing after we came home. I would highly recommend her!!”
“"Maria A. did an amazing job watching Max! He had a blast at the lake, went on adventures, and even made a new friend Bruno - same size, so perfect playmate! Loved that he got lots of love and playtime with bigger buddiesu. Thanks, Maria!" 😊”
“Weilin was awesome and phenomenal with Leo. This was our first time leaving Leo for a long time for boarding for almost a month and we were super nervous in leaving our fur baby alone. However, Weilin was amazing with him. Right from start she recommended a meet and greet, and drove close to our place to meet Leo and also brought one of her dog and made us super comfortable. She was always available whenever I had question, even though it was late for her. She sent me daily videos and pictures of Leo, and also picked and dropped him off to our place. Weilin also spotted a potential ear infection in Leo, quickly messaged me and took him to vet. She was also kind enough to treat him by applying medicine in his ears. Weilin's dogs were also super amazing. They played with Leo and made him feel even more comfortable while away. Leo will sleep on her dog QQ's bed and both Weilin and QQ made sure that Leo feels loved and happy at their place. Leo was super sad after she dropped Leo back when we returned, as he missed Weilin and her dogs.When she dropped off Leo, Leo wanted to go back with her. I couldn't have been more happier and will be using Weilin as my long term sitter, as I can relax and enjoy my vacation, with peace of my mind knowing Leo has been cared well for. Thank you Weilin and QQ, wuv wuv for all your love and affection towards Leo, and making him part of your home. We are super greatful to you in taking care of our fur baby, like yours.”
“Rachele was fantastic! My dog was very comfortable with her and came home tired after hiking and running with Rachele. I will use Rachele any time I have to leave my pup. She is a home away from home for her!”
