“Mark and his son were really awesome with our dog, Thor. We booked a 10 day stay, and Mark provided consistent updates on how Thor was doing. They walked him regularly and played with him often, and they have a great home with a back yard Thor could enjoy. I felt comfortable and confident leaving my fur baby with them!”
“Kaitlin and Verle do an amazing job at watching our dog and keeping us updated on his stay. We love having them take care and home our dog, for that reason we are repeat customers.”
“Very caring and kind sitters, my dog was clearly well taken care of when I picked her up. Sent multiple videos and images daily of my dog, who got along well with both of theirs. Will be going back next time I need a sitter 👍”
“Ellie (14 years old) and Chloe (13 years old), who are chihuahuas, had such an amazing stay and their happiness showed in all of the update photos during their 19 night stay. They were able to play with dogs of all sizes and ages, making so many new friends. Maddison and Moses gave frequent updates about how the girls were doing, what activities they were up to, and were very accommodating to the girls’ needs. I am very pleased with how happy and confident Ellie and Chloe remained during their stay. Rest assured this is an amazing boarding service, who treat our furry loved ones as their own. Ellie and Chloe will definitely be going back for future stays!”
“Bailey had a wonderful vacation with his pal Harper. He enjoyed dog beach 2 days in a row! We always know he is in good hands and well cared for when he stays with Jennifer! We will definitely book a future stay with Jennifer! 💕”
“This is the 2nd time Cristina looks after my two mini aussies. This time it was for a whole month. My girls really enjoyed themselves. Always happy, spoiled and I have always felt at peace leaving them at her home. She and her husband and really great and family oriented people. Thank you so much for looking so nicely after them”
“Erica did an amazing job watching our two pups while we went on our honeymoon. One of our dogs is a grumpy old fellow, and she was great with handling his tantrums. She was also wonderful about getting us daily updates and we will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“I would highly recommend Gwendolyn and her family. Coco has stayed with them a couple of times and we could not have been happier. Gwendolyn kept us regularly updated on how Coco was and what they were getting up to. Coco came home a very happy dog!”
“this was my first time using Rover since we needed a dog sitter last minute. we’re so lucky to have found pilar. our 5yo mini schnauzer is a punk with new people but she gave him the space he needed until he warmed up. she was great with daily pics and updates for his 3 night stay. will definitely bring him back when we need a sitter!”
“Chris was great with Bullet. He picked and dropped her off with my friend and my friend said bullet was a happy camper when she got home. Full spirits, which means she had a good time. Thank you Chris and family for taking her on short notice and accommodating and communicating well!”
“Cerita and her family were great with Bam Bam! She obviously enjoyed her stay, photos proving she was having a blast! We appreciate the attention and care they gave her!”
“Linda took amazing care of our senior dog, who has medical needs and doesn’t warm up to just anyone—but she absolutely loved Linda. She made sure she was safe, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. We got regular updates and pictures, which gave us total peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. You can tell Linda truly cares, and we’ll definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Isabelle was great! This was my dog’s first sitter experience so I was a bit worried about how she would react, but I was glad to see that she was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of! I also appreciated Isabelle sending updates and pictures of my dog while we were away. I’ll be using Isabelle’s services again, and I highly recommend her!”
“Jeffrey was kind to me and my doggies. He sent videos and pictures and my doggies seemed very comfortable and calm and happy. We had to last minute extend an extra night and he was so accommodating. I wasn’t worried about my dogs at all while we went away. Very stress free. They had friends to play with plenty of exercise because they got to run free outside in the yard. Highly recommend and will be booking again with Jeffrey if we need to go out of town.”
“Autumn was absolutely outstanding with my Pups! One of them was rescued off the street 4 months ago and is very fearful around new people and places, but he had such an amazing time and didn't want to leave by the time we had to pick them up. They loved her so much that I honestly felt a little sad about taking them away from her. I feel like that just highlights how phenomenal she was. 10/5 stars!! Hope to be back next time!”
“Very friendly and great communication. Provided pics of my puppy as happy as can be at the park. Provided information about my puppies stay overnight; what she ate, how she slept, and if she would most likely need to potty soon. Will for sure use her services again. Thank you.”

About: I have loved cats since I was a small child (my mom called me her little cat lady), and started petting sitting my friends’, family members’ and neighbors’ cats as a teenager. I got my first kitten after moving to San Diego, and he is now 10 years old. I am still very drawn to cats and deeply enjoy playing with and caring for them. I will love your kitty like they’re my own, and follow your care instructions with great attention to detail.
“Bobbie is exceptional! She was able to comfort my two very shy cats while we were away. They get depressed and anxious whenever we take a trip. Bobbie sent photos and videos through out her visit. I would definitely recommend her!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I have over 9 years of experience training service dogs of all ages. Through my training experience, I have worked with puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, helping them build confidence, learn new skills, and receive the care they need. What sets me apart is my hands-on experience with a wide variety of dogs and my ability to adapt to each pet's unique personality and needs.

I’m super flexible and can fit in almost anything in my schedule! Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a spacious home with a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play, explore, and get plenty of exercise. I also have an 8-month-old service dog in training who is extremely friendly, well-socialized, and enjoys being around other dogs. With over 9 years of experience training service dogs, I understand the importance of maintaining routines, reinforcing positive behaviors, and providing attentive care. I carefully supervise all interactions between pets and make sure each dog feels comfortable in their environment.

I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medication administration, and any special requests. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners while providing regular updates and communication throughout their stay.
“Danielle has been incredibly kind and helpful when it came to looking after my two girls. She's gone above and beyond for them, for which I'm very thankful. She's very responsive and it's reassuring knowing that she can look after them with such care.”

“Cynthia was really great with our 2 adult female cats! she was very responsive, stepping in last minute to do drop in visits after our original sitter fell through.

“Kaitlyn - you were awesome with my cat! Great communication. Followed instructions perfectly and my cat loved having her here! Kept my place safe & locked up as she was coming and going. First time using the app & it was so easy. I felt safe leaving my baby in Kaitlyn’s care & I will absolutely rebook her for my next trip!”
“Sahba took wonderful care of our cats and was very reliable and professional. She followed all our instructions, spent time playing with them, and clearly showed genuine love for our cats. She always sent lots of photos, videos, and detailed updates, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. She also paid close attention to details, like making sure the door was locked every time. We would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter!”
“Virginia was a lifesaver and did such an amazing job watching our fur babies while we were away. She follows directions extremely well, provides updates multiple times a day. It is apparent that she cares about her clients and pets and goes above and beyond so we had peace of mind while on vacation. We will definitely be hiring her again in the future.”
About: Animals have always been my passion. They are what makes me smile. I grew up taking care of dogs, cats, rats, and rabbits from babies to seniors. As a full-time animal lover, I can’t wait to treat your furry family member as my own, creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment they’ll adore. I’m a full-time animal lover so I will be home with your pet all day. I love being outdoors so I’m looking forward to being able to share my adventures with your fur baby whether it’s walking them at the neighborhood park that is a 2 minute walk from my complex, enjoying a sunny day at doggy beach or a night in relaxing on the couch watching movies where your pet will have their own bed that is better than most people’s haha. I live in an apartment with a good size patio that your fur baby can relax and enjoy watching birds and bunnies from a distance. There will be no other pets so they will be treated like the prince/princess that they are!
About: I grew up with a dog and a cat and recently have got a dog of my own who is very much like a son to me. I absolutely love taking care of him and I treat any pets just as I do my own. I was especially drawn to Rover after long-term dog sitting these 2 wonderful Dobermans a few months ago, it made me want to create even more special bonds just like that. I am genuinely so happy spending time around animals… I have always taken up dog sitting opportunities for family or friends and now I would like to extend my love out to your pets as well!🩷🫂 Right now, dog sitting is my full time job so I am dedicated to giving your pets the most attentive care I can. I am super flexible and currently offering dog walking, drop in visits, and house sitting during the week and on weekends!! Check my calendar for specific availability. I am used to incorporating 1-3 dogs + a cat into a daily routine (for the past 6 years). I really enjoy long walks and playing outside or even napping with my dogs. I have unconditional love ready to give to any pet… you are doing me a favor by allowing me the opportunity to get to know and love your fur baby🥹🥹 I will always make sure that your pet and I are both respectful of house rules while still having fun. I do try to work on small behavioral training such as sit and stay on a daily basis. I will always be on top of it to make sure your dog stays on schedule and give endless cuddles so they stay happy as well.
About: Hey! My name is Chris… also known as Cherry’s Dad. I am very enthusiastic about people’s pets, have had dogs my entire life and will continue to be a dog person forever and ever. Fun fact: my mom owns a dog grooming shop in LA! I’ve worked a lot in the shop and have handled literally hundreds of pet dogs. After 15 years in corporate, I’m now a Business owner with flexibility in my schedule. I walk my own pet 3 times a day, and frequently take breaks to complete my put duties! At home, I pay attention to the dogs signals and adjust accordingly - are they happy? Nervous? Thirsty? Whining? I speak pretty good dog by listening. During walks, I never allow strangers, especially children, to approach someone’s dog I am in control of who isn’t mine.
About: **Before booking.... I work full time Mon - Fri. I am not home during those times, but I am available any time after I get off of work. Saturday and Sunday I am available all day.** For some reason this site doesn't show this information. I have grown up around and have been around dogs my whole life. I have experience with all sizes of dogs and ages. Some breeds I have experience with are Pit Bulls, Boxers, Mini Pins, Chihuahua, Blue Healer, Dingo, and the list goes on! The last office job I had also included dog sitting for the owner and his wife's dogs. They kept me good company and visa versa. Some of my friends call me the dog whisperer. I seem to give the dogs with anxiety a sense of ease when I am around them. I love to pet them and rub around their favorite spots that relax them. I.E, ears, belly, and neck. Sometimes I tend to find myself talking to them like they are a little baby lol I keep my rates on the lower end because I love being around dogs and I know we all just need a break sometimes or can't afford a sitter when a family function is important to attend. I want to help make things easier and manageable for you to take a trip or get away. Things are expensive these days and I don't want my rates for watching your fur baby to be one of them 🙂 I work full time Mon - Fri and I am not at home during that time. I am available any time after I get off of work. Saturday and Sunday I am available all day. I treat your babies just like I treat mine, with lots of love and attention. I mean they are the rulers of our home 😁 lol
“Martha took the time to get to know our cats. They don't take to strangers easily but were comfortable enough to play with and get brushed by Martha. She was prompt, responsible, and provided lots of photos. We had no worries while we were away.”
“Positively amazing! Met with me on short notice and took care of my pup later that same week. Good communication throughout and even went the extra mile to come back and let my dog go to the bathroom later in the evening at no extra charge! Would recommend 10/10 dog sitter! She is a life saver”

“Jennifer (and her husband, Chris) were such wonderful caretakers to our dog, Odi! She was so receptive to texts and sent multiple pictures throughout the day to keep me updated on how he was doing. I honestly think he was a little bummed to come home after all the fun he had exploring, walking and playing with their sweet dog, Harper. I'm very grateful to have found them and Odi will be thrilled with another visit someday.”
“Berenice was fantastic. Everytime we picked Obi up he was happy, clean and wagging his tail. She kept us up to date and did many fun things to keep Obi active. Definitely will use her again if we come to visit in the future.”
About: Hi! My name is Isabelle. I’ve been dog sitting for friends, family, and neighbors for at least 10 years! I miss having dogs around so I will love yours like my own. I work from home full time and can easily take lots of breaks to let your dog out! I also take 1-2 long walks a day. Feel free to bring their bed and any toys your dog may want to have with them. I don’t have a yard but plenty of space to walk them around.

“We couldn't have been happier with everything, from how quick and responsive Erica was to our first inquiry, to her professionalism asking questions about our two dogs and their needs. Our pooches came back calm and happy. Thank you again, Erica!”

About: I have extensive, hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals, ranging from household pets to farm and ranch animals. I grew up on a 7-acre property where I was constantly surrounded by animals, which gave me a strong foundation in animal care, behavior, and responsibility. I also spent time as a competitive horseback rider, which provided additional experience working closely with horses and other large animals. Alongside farm experience, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds, as well as cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, and other small animals. I currently have two large senior dogs—a Boxer and a Shepherd/Husky mix—who I’ve raised since they were puppies, giving me experience with everything from early training to senior care. I’m familiar with the unique care needs of smaller animals as well. I also have a two-year-old daughter who is very gentle and animal-loving, and she enjoys being around and helping with daily pet care and walks when appropriate. Because she will often be with me, I kindly ask that you let me know if your pets are comfortable around children so I can ensure a safe and positive experience for everyone involved. My goal is always to provide safe, loving, and reliable care so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away, knowing your pets are treated like family. My schedule is flexible since I am a stay-at-home mom caring for my two-year-old daughter. This allows me to provide consistent attention and care throughout the day, with availability for morning, afternoon, and some evening visits depending on your pet’s needs. Because I am home most of the time, I am able to adjust my routine to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, check-ins, and any special care instructions your pet may have. I prioritize reliability and communication, so you’ll always know when I’m arriving and how your pet is doing. While I do have my daughter with me, I am intentional about only accepting bookings where I can ensure a safe, calm, and positive experience for both your pet and your home. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my top priorities are safety, trust, and creating a calm, comfortable environment. I make sure each pet’s routine is followed as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box care, and any special instructions. I take time to understand each animal’s personality and needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for them. In client homes, I treat the space with the same respect I would my own—keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. I am reliable, communicative, and always mindful of both the pet’s comfort and the owner’s peace of mind. In my own home, pets are cared for in a structured, calm environment alongside my two senior dogs. I maintain a clean and organized space where animals can feel safe and relaxed. My goal is to build trust with both pets and their owners by providing consistent, attentive, and compassionate care every time.
“Madison & Moses are awesome! So easy to communicate with and both have a great, calm energy that was perfect for helping my shy, anxious, rescue pittie feel right at home. It’s clear they’re both well-versed in dog behavior and I appreciate that they met my dog right where she was at. They had no issues giving her the time, space and patience needed to open up in her own time - it made all the difference. Thankful to have found them!”
“Our boys had a great time with Virginia! We had a last minute reservation for day care scheduled the day of and she was very accommodating and flexible with time. She took them on multiple walks during their 6 hour stay, one of which had a beautiful picturesque view of the water reservoir. She kept in touch and sent many pictures and updates and took great care of them like they were own! Would definitely recommend her services!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats around the neighborhood for years. When our neighbors go on trips, they leave their pets in my care. In the past, I've gone to the beach, taken long walks, and helped with basic training. I am excited to meet all my new furry friends :) I am free any time, any day! 😁 I are happy to take care of your pet at any time. Your pet will be the center of my attention. I live in a fenced yard with plenty of space for your furry friends to run around. My home is quiet, and there's always someone around to be with your pet. I live in a safe, secure home, with lots of inside space to chill out.
“Mark, Christina, and Cody! Thank you for taking such good care of our babies. They love you so much. You're just beautiful people. I left them with you with absolutely no worries. Thank you for the daily updates and the cutest pictures! I can't say enough wonderful things about y'all. Our babies were in loving, caring hands always. I highly recommend you. And I know Sage and Noir would love to see you again!”
About: Hi! My name is Abigail, I’ve cared for pets ever since I can remember. I worked in vet medicine for 5 years. I started in general practiced then switched to specialty and worked in Neurology, Emergency, and ICU. So if you have a special needs pup I can help! I am a stay at home momma that can go on a walk any time of the day. Unless your pup just wants cuddles in the grass I can do that too! My priority will be your pets comfort and happiness in their own home. I will leave your house as you left it if not slightly better with a full and happy pet (: I respect your home, your privacy and will make this an easy experience for you and your pet!
“She's great. My dog has never been with anyone but family and she is able to comfort him. With my schedule changing, it is wonderful having her as a backup for work. Like I said, she's great.”
About: Growing up I have always had dogs on the property and consider them part of the family. I believe a well trained dog is loved by its owner. I am an animal lover who want to help those who have a hard time with placement. I enjoy spending time with other people's pets because I am unable to have one for myself at this time. I am currently retired so I have time to spend with them daily. I can take them to parks, beach, lakes, etc. Depends on breed and how active they are. I have aquariums, reptiles and my extended family has dogs that I am frequently around. I have had exotic, elderly, injured and sick pets in my care. I foster for the Humane Society periodically and adjust my home according to the pets needs.

“This was my first time booking a sitter but Charlie and Shanna made everything so easy! Kona has separation anxiety so it’s always hard having her stay with other people but they took the absolute best care! They sent frequent updates and photos about her day and gave extra care to help out with wiping and spraying down her paws for her allergies! Kona loves staying with them and they will absolutely be my first call the second I need to have anyone look after my dog again. Thank you so much!!”

About: Hi, my name is Bree! Currently, my only pet is a cat, but I grew up with chihuahuas, a bird, and have pet sat for many friends and family members. After moving away from my hometown, I missed hanging out with all type of animals, so I decided to start pet sitting again. I love all animals, but I feel most comfortable and confident with cats and smaller or lower energy dogs. I am also happy to care for other animals, like birds, fish, and reptiles. I have experience administering oral and topical medications. I’m an excellent communicator and will tailor my care to your pets’ needs. I have a strong attention to detail and will love and care for your fur babies like they are my own. I am self-employed and work primarily from home, so my schedule is very flexible on both weekdays and weekends. On days when I work outside the home, I can drop in before and/or after my other responsibilities. I treat all homes with respect and cleanliness, and will follow your instructions for care. My goal is to make your pet feel safe and loved in your absence.
About: I was given the opportunity to work for a major pet store after moving to Austin, TX which is where I realized how beautiful it is to have a family member with a snout, funny ears, and a wagging tail! Helping others find what they want to spoil their furry companion with was always a joy. Rover was then introduced to me and I have been hooked ever since! Being a pup’s pal has allowed me to learn to socialize and get out into the world outside of retail work environments. Of course, socializing your pup is the goal at the end of the day too, that way we can all better understand the world we live in, but I do believe every heart and soul should get the attention they deserve. I strive to create a small bond with your pet so they know they have a friend and a home away from home. In my lifetime I have had the opportunity to work with a Beagle named Bagel, a precious Chihuahua-Terrier named Nala (R.I.P), and then a wild child, mixed lab-pit, named Chakra. I currently own Journey and Luna who are both incredible terriers not terrors at all lol. A bit about me: Daily exercise and nutrition are very important to me, therefore, I spend most of my free time cooking, cleaning, and exercising. I love the outdoors so you can frequently find me riding my bike on or jogging. Naturally, you and your dog(s) are welcome to join in! While your pup is under my care, we will work towards having the time of our lives (within the allotted time lol). The first thing after waking up would start with the quick backyard potty break, followed by breakfast, and then playtime. Some of my favorite parks in the area are Harry Griffin or Mast Park in Santee. The big, almost theme park for dogs would be Fiesta Island or a nice, clean dog beach. Then of course I would have to bathe your pet because nobody likes a stinky, muddy, or sandy pup! Your dog would also NOT be left alone for more than up to five hours with water, treats, and chew toy! After that, they would get some extra attention and likely play outdoors along with a shower of kindness, smiles, handshakes, and, of course, belly rubs and treats. If misbehavior from your pet should occur, no inhumane discipline will take place. They will simply be startled by a loud sound to alert the pup to stop. Worst case scenario: if they bite or ruin any furniture, you may be held responsible for any damages, but you need not worry! Thanks for reading and also for any positivity sent my way. It helps me continue taking care of your pets, fur babies, best friends, and most loyal companions. I truly enjoy and appreciate the time taken to meet and to work with you and your pet(s). I am fully available to your companion. Be it for one hour or one day or even a week! The only obligations I have are, like most, family. I am also in the Army National Guard, which makes me unavailable at unexpected times on rare and seldom occasions. I have a tall, fenced-in yard with edible pet grass designed explicitly for your dog(s) to potty-train. On the extra hot days, a comfy off-ground cot with a cooling mat and shaded canopy is available, along with a small pool of water for your dog to enjoy while they are here with me. No burned paws or dehydrated pets allowed :-P I also have plenty of chew toys and energy to entertain your dog with fetch, tug a war, and lots of outdoor running. Lastly, I offer a bed in a comfortable kennel for dogs with no severe behavior issues such as yelping, whining, and barking, mostly puppy's still learning the basics such as potty training. Dogs will be separated and placed in a kennel during short, unsupervised moments, such as quick runs to the store or during feeding time.

About: Hi! My name is Isabelle. I’ve been dog sitting for friends, family, and neighbors for at least 10 years! I miss having dogs around so I will love yours like my own.

“Kairi is absolutely in love with Martha and she's been a dream to work with. Attentive and available, she checks in and is great at staying on time or asking questions when needed. Martha takes directions really well and communicates effectively. Plus my 2-year-old Siberian Husky Kairi is always thrilled to see Martha and go for a walk. We are absolutely regulars now!”

About: I have enjoyed taking care of my family dogs and my own dog in the neighborhood since I was kid. They are a reminder that there is good in the world. I enjoy fitness and will be sure to maintain an enjoyable pace that ensures they will get their proper excercise. Please do let me know if your dog has any pre existing medical Conditions so I may make accommodations. My mornings are typically pretty open with a hard cut off by 1pm. By special request I am happy to offer afternoon/evening walks for returning customers.

About: I grew up with a dog and a cat and recently have got a dog of my own who is very much like a son to me. I absolutely love taking care of him and I treat any pets just as I do my own. I was especially drawn to Rover after long-term dog sitting these 2 wonderful Dobermans a few months ago, it made me want to create even more special bonds just like that. I am genuinely so happy spending time around animals… I have always taken up dog sitting opportunities for family or friends and now I would like to extend my love out to your pets as well!🩷🫂 Right now, dog sitting is my full time job so I am dedicated to giving your pets the most attentive care I can. I am super flexible and currently offering dog walking, drop in visits, and house sitting during the week and on weekends!! Check my calendar for specific availability. I am used to incorporating 1-3 dogs + a cat into a daily routine (for the past 6 years). I really enjoy long walks and playing outside or even napping with my dogs. I have unconditional love ready to give to any pet… you are doing me a favor by allowing me the opportunity to get to know and love your fur baby🥹🥹 I will always make sure that your pet and I are both respectful of house rules while still having fun. I do try to work on small behavioral training such as sit and stay on a daily basis. I will always be on top of it to make sure your dog stays on schedule and give endless cuddles so they stay happy as well.
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 6 years of hands-on pet care experience and two beloved cats of my own. I believe pets are family and I care for every animal as if they were mine. I’m an attentive and observant caregiver who notices the small things: a change in mood, habits, or energy levels. Your pet’s well-being is always my top priority. I’m intentional in everything I do, whether it’s keeping their space clean, ensuring they’re eating well, or spending time playing and bonding. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family, so I pride myself on being transparent, reliable, and trustworthy every step of the way. Let’s make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you're away! Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to be available throughout the day for walks, check-ins, playtime, and care. As long as I have at least 24 hours' notice, I can easily accommodate most requests. My partner and I are currently planning our wedding, and taking on pet care is not only a way to help support that goal but also something I truly enjoy. I love spending time with animals, and I treat every pet like I would my own with love, attention, and respect. I'm committed to being dependable, communicative, and making sure your pets are happy and safe while you're away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I always aim to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their own environment. I follow all care instructions closely, from feeding and medication to walks and playtime, and I am very mindful of each pet’s unique needs and personality. I keep their area clean, make sure they have fresh water, and spend quality time with them so they feel calm and cared for while you are away. I also respect your home as if it were my own and will always communicate clearly about how your pet is doing. My goal is to provide the same level of care and attention I give my own pets.
“We love Bobbie! She walks our dog Coco twice a week. She is lovely, reliable and proactive. On a few occasions when the weather forecast has been for rain she checks in ahead of time to confirm if Coco will still want a walk. Coco gets so excited when she sees her and has lots of fun with Bobbie. Could not recommend more highly!”
“Virginia was great with our dogs who can be a little mischievous at times and stubborn too. She was very communicative and even let me know about cuts on my dogs paws. both of my dogs are very large dogs and she handled them well.”
“excellent walker. made such a great first impression that we booked her on the spot—well kinda. based on our needs, it couldn’t work out but we’ll definitely reach out if we ever need a backup walker/sitter. thx zoarel!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a little girl. I have trained a lot of puppies in my lifetime. I also have taken care of senior dogs, which I personally think are the cutest. I am extremely passionate about dogs. Im currently working part time at the moment so I have plenty of time to take care of pets. My schedule is very flexible as well. I take my dog out for walks at least three times a day. Both of my pets are free to roam the house freely. When pet sitting, the pets would also be free to roam the house, taking the dogs out when they need a little potty break. Constantly making sure they’re comfortable, having their play time, and well fed.
About: Hey! My name is Chris… also known as Cherry’s Dad. I am very enthusiastic about people’s pets, have had dogs my entire life and will continue to be a dog person forever and ever. Fun fact: my mom owns a dog grooming shop in LA! I’ve worked a lot in the shop and have handled literally hundreds of pet dogs. After 15 years in corporate, I’m now a Business owner with flexibility in my schedule. I walk my own pet 3 times a day, and frequently take breaks to complete my put duties! At home, I pay attention to the dogs signals and adjust accordingly - are they happy? Nervous? Thirsty? Whining? I speak pretty good dog by listening. During walks, I never allow strangers, especially children, to approach someone’s dog I am in control of who isn’t mine.
“Monique is such an amazing pet guardian. She works well to accommodate and flexes with my schedule, is communicative and has such a calmness about her that my dog and cats all like and trust her. I’m at ease when I know my pets are under her care whenever I’m away.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for many years and have had my own over the years. It brings me joy to help the pets and the owners and to provide this service. I’m excited to care for pets daily and weekly. I’m flexible and customize the experience to what the owner and pet need and want. It’s a great experience! I have a fenced yard. No other pets as we lost them to old age. It’s private and safe and convenient with individual attention and care.
“We feel so blessed to have met Betty. She is so loving and caring with Bernard. He looks forward to seeing Betty because she makes it fun for him. We are so thankful for the great care she gives him.”

“Mark and his son were really awesome with our dog, Thor. We booked a 10 day stay, and Mark provided consistent updates on how Thor was doing. They walked him regularly and played with him often, and they have a great home with a back yard Thor could enjoy. I felt comfortable and confident leaving my fur baby with them!”
“Kaitlin and Verle do an amazing job at watching our dog and keeping us updated on his stay. We love having them take care and home our dog, for that reason we are repeat customers.”
“Very caring and kind sitters, my dog was clearly well taken care of when I picked her up. Sent multiple videos and images daily of my dog, who got along well with both of theirs. Will be going back next time I need a sitter 👍”
“Ellie (14 years old) and Chloe (13 years old), who are chihuahuas, had such an amazing stay and their happiness showed in all of the update photos during their 19 night stay. They were able to play with dogs of all sizes and ages, making so many new friends. Maddison and Moses gave frequent updates about how the girls were doing, what activities they were up to, and were very accommodating to the girls’ needs. I am very pleased with how happy and confident Ellie and Chloe remained during their stay. Rest assured this is an amazing boarding service, who treat our furry loved ones as their own. Ellie and Chloe will definitely be going back for future stays!”
“Bailey had a wonderful vacation with his pal Harper. He enjoyed dog beach 2 days in a row! We always know he is in good hands and well cared for when he stays with Jennifer! We will definitely book a future stay with Jennifer! 💕”
“Erica did an amazing job watching our two pups while we went on our honeymoon. One of our dogs is a grumpy old fellow, and she was great with handling his tantrums. She was also wonderful about getting us daily updates and we will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Chris was great with Bullet. He picked and dropped her off with my friend and my friend said bullet was a happy camper when she got home. Full spirits, which means she had a good time. Thank you Chris and family for taking her on short notice and accommodating and communicating well!”
“Cerita and her family were great with Bam Bam! She obviously enjoyed her stay, photos proving she was having a blast! We appreciate the attention and care they gave her!”
“Isabelle was great! This was my dog’s first sitter experience so I was a bit worried about how she would react, but I was glad to see that she was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of! I also appreciated Isabelle sending updates and pictures of my dog while we were away. I’ll be using Isabelle’s services again, and I highly recommend her!”
“Jeffrey was kind to me and my doggies. He sent videos and pictures and my doggies seemed very comfortable and calm and happy. We had to last minute extend an extra night and he was so accommodating. I wasn’t worried about my dogs at all while we went away. Very stress free. They had friends to play with plenty of exercise because they got to run free outside in the yard. Highly recommend and will be booking again with Jeffrey if we need to go out of town.”
“Autumn was absolutely outstanding with my Pups! One of them was rescued off the street 4 months ago and is very fearful around new people and places, but he had such an amazing time and didn't want to leave by the time we had to pick them up. They loved her so much that I honestly felt a little sad about taking them away from her. I feel like that just highlights how phenomenal she was. 10/5 stars!! Hope to be back next time!”
“We left our 2 bulldogs with Raquel and her family for 2 days. Our older bulldog is 7 years old and the younger one is 4 months. They enjoyed their stay with Raquel and family. Nothing but happy dogs in all the pictures. I was given regular updates on our dogs which really put our minds at ease. We will definitely call on Raquel again for boarding or sitting needs.”
“Terri is a true animal lover. She cared for my dog Lucy over the weekend. She took Lucy for plenty of walks and even took her to the lake a couple times. Baked her some dog treats and even sent her home with a batch. Plenty of pictures. We are very pleased.”
“This was our second time booking Virginia for boarding for our two dogs and they were excited to see her and settled in quickly! She did a great job taking care of them. I would definitely recommend her services!”
“Mark and Christina were absolutely wonderful! They took amazing care of my dogs and went above and beyond when my flight got delayed. They were kind, understanding, and incredibly accommodating — I never once worried about my pups while they were with them. It’s clear they genuinely love animals and treat them like their own. I couldn’t recommend them more — truly the kind of people you hope to find when you need someone trustworthy and compassionate to watch your pets.”
“Josiane took great care of my fur baby, Copper. She sent pictures of how he was spending his vacation; walks around the lake, playing with toys and just lounging around. Next time I need to be out of town, wouldn’t hesitate to leave Copper in her care.”

“Benny immediately gravitated towards Nick and we knew it was a good match. Nick expressed his love of dogs and it showed with the care he provided Benny. Nick was very attentive and kept us updated with Benny very frequently, providing pictures and videos of Benny enjoying his time with Nick. We also appreciated the feedback that Nick provided at the end of Benny's stay with Nick. Overall we are extremely happy with Nick and look forward to having Benny under his care in the future.”
