“Great couple! Very responsive. They really took care of my dog and I can tell that my dog had a great time at their home. I received the photos of my dog every day and knew that my dog was treated very well. Highly recommend!”
“I can’t recommend Sarah enough as a dog sitter. My dog, Teddy, absolutely loves staying with her—he gets genuinely excited every time he realizes he’s going back, which says everything. What I appreciate most is how incredibly detailed and consistent her updates are. Every day, she sends multiple photos and videos—Teddy eating, playing, going on walks, and even updates on how he’s doing overall. She keeps me fully informed, down to small but important details, so I never have to wonder how he’s doing. It gives me real peace of mind knowing exactly how his day is going. It’s also clear that she truly cares about the dogs she looks after. She takes Teddy on walks, to the dog park, and even on hikes, making sure he stays active and happy. On top of that, her home environment is wonderful—her two dogs and her cat are all very friendly, and Teddy gets along great with them. He’s not just being watched; he’s having a great time. Whenever Teddy stays with Sarah, I know he’s safe, well cared for, and genuinely happy. I fully trust her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive dog sitter.”
About: What sets me apart is the combination of hands-on experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments, along with the level of care and attention I genuinely put into every dog I look after. I’ve worked closely with a young puppy, attending training sessions and learning how to reinforce positive behaviors and create an environment where a dog can thrive. I’m comfortable continuing training routines, maintaining structure, and helping puppies build good habits. On the other end of the spectrum, I also have experience caring for senior dogs who require extra patience and support—whether that’s assisting with mobility, following specific diets, or adapting to hearing and vision loss. I regularly dog sit for friends with very different needs, from high-energy dogs who need multiple long walks a day to older dogs who require a slower pace and more hands-on care. I’ve also cared for multiple dogs at once, making sure each one gets the individual attention they need. I pride myself on being adaptable and attentive, tailoring my care to each dog’s personality, routine, and comfort level. Beyond experience, what truly sets me apart is how deeply I care. I treat every dog like family, not just a job. I’ve even gone out of my way on multiple occasions to help neighbors find their lost dogs and have successfully helped reunite them with their owners several times. I believe it’s our responsibility to create a safe, loving, and positive environment where dogs feel relaxed, happy, and encouraged—and that’s exactly the kind of care I provide every time. I work full-time with a flexible hybrid schedule, which allows me to plan ahead one or two weeks in advance for working on site or at home. On days I go into the office, I can take pups on walks in the early morning or evening. I’m fully available for boarding on weekends, and depending on my work schedule, I can also offer overnight boarding during the week. I do my best to be flexible and accommodate each dog’s routine—whether that means early morning walks, regular potty breaks, or sticking closely to their usual schedule. If your pup is used to a 7am walk, I’m more than happy to start the day early to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I prioritize creating a safe, clean, and comfortable environment that helps every dog feel at ease, whether they’re in my home or their own. In my home, I have a private, fenced backyard that’s only accessible through my apartment, so your dog can safely enjoy fresh air. It’s partially covered as well, providing some protection from rain. Inside, I keep my space clean and dog-friendly, with cushioned area rugs to prevent slipping and give dogs a comfortable place to walk, play, or relax. I also provide cozy blankets and an outdoor dog bed so they have options for resting wherever they feel most comfortable. Cleanliness and routine are very important to me—I wash food bowls after each use and refresh water bowls daily. Dogs are welcome on my furniture, but I always respect and follow your home rules to maintain consistency. If your dog isn’t allowed on furniture, I will reinforce those same boundaries. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m very respectful of their space and attentive to instructions. I carefully follow all provided routines, house rules, and notes to ensure your dog experiences as much consistency and comfort as possible while you’re away.
“Alissa is so great! She took such a great care of my needy dog and I could tell he loved her from day one 😅 she was providing me with the updates daily and was so flexible and friendly. I’ll definitely leave my dog with her again next time when I need to travel somewhere. Highly recommended!!”
“Chiara took great care of Peanut, my 16yo deaf semi-blind senior dog who requires several oral and eye medications. She also provided a daily update with photos and was very easy to coordinate with.”
“Jifu and his wife took very good care of our dog for 4 nights. He was fed on time and per our requests. Daily updates and photos. They even put a tag on his harness to be extra cautious. Their dog Joky is also super friendly. I hope that we can book them in our next trip!”
“Shannon was absolutely wonderful with Dobby. I was able to relax on my vacation knowing my dog was having a vacation of his own with Apollo. She gave frequent updates with plenty of photos and was very communicative during the stay. I couldn’t recommend her enough.”
“Karla is the best! She communicated great and sent tons of pics. I also felt like she really understood my pup and her personality. Definitely will come back. Thanks Karla!”
“Deborah is amazing!! Snoopy was taken on a lot of walks. She was kind to him. She fell in love with him and it made the whole experience. It’s just absolutely amazing from the very beginning. I would highly recommend her. She is a very caring person and you can tell she loves animals.”
“Tillana is incredibly professional yet fun. We appreciated her attention to detail while she watched our pup, as well as the frequent updates featuring pictures of him living his best life. We will definitely be using Tillana again.”
“Martina was great! She followed up to everything very quickly and sent pics and updates of our dog often. You can tell that she loves dogs. She even got teary eyed when giving us our dog back! We will definitely use her for future dog sitting needs!”
“Cali loved her overnight boarding time with Alexa D. This was my first time as a Dog Mom using Rover and Alexa made me feel totally at ease leaving my high energy pup with her. She was an attentive communicator and patient with all of my questions. We had a meet and greet beforehand where we shared information and anything noteworthy about Cali. Alexa's knowledge of dogs, her experience, and all of the ways she cares for them were impressive. Thank you Alexa for taking such care of my baby girl!”
“Ruo was an amazing dog sitter for my little pup! She had him for 5 days while we were away and I could tell he was super happy and well loved. She was great about keeping me updated on his day and sending pictures which I really appreciated. Honestly I think she is the best sitter we have ever had! Highly recommend and we will absolutely use her again.”
“Chris was amazing! We received many updates during Oden’s stay, including incredible photos. Oden is typically very shy with other dogs, but got along great with the other dog Chris was sitting at the same time. We’re planning to use Chris again whenever we travel without Oden. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our fur baby.”
“Olga, Igor and family took great care of our young-at-heart doggie! It was our first time using Rover and Olga was exceptionally kind, responsive and caring. Our doggie was made an immediate member of their family and ran off to play with their dog, Fox without a backward glance. They sent photos and updates. We really appreciated the extra touches too like putting an air tag on our doggie’s collar. We highly recommend Olga and Igor!! Thank you!!!”
“Tina was professional and cared for Bruno as if he were her own. She even took him on a hike with her dog, Sharky. Bruno had a playmate and truly found a home away from home.”
About: I've taken care of small dogs and large dogs since I was in middle school. I enjoy playing with dogs, giving them lots of hugs and pets, and taking them on excursions, whether it be to the dog park, beach, or a scenic hiking trail. I work part-time from home so I am able to spend lots of time with the fur babies in my care. I love to take them out for fresh air and exercise, and give them lots of love, pets, and attention. I have a fenced, grassy backyard and a friendly labrador retriever named Sadie who is very sweet and playful and loves having other dogs to play with. We have a doggie door so the pups have day and night access to the backyard to run around and do their business. I can easily crate your dog if that is something you prefer.

“I had to go out of town last minute, and I was so happy Huei was available. My cat warmed up to her immediately, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Huei took great care of her, asked questions, and kept me updated throughout the stay. I really appreciated her attentiveness and would definitely trust her with my cat again!”

I will recommend them 100% and will rebook them again ! Thank you for taking care of Pepper !”
“She did a wonderful job taking care of my cats! Her communication was always clear and consistent, and she made sure to keep me updated every day.

I would definitely book with her again!”
About: Does your doggo need a stay-at-home auntie in its life? Get ready for lots of photos and updates because your babies will get 24-7 attention at Casa de Barbara. ** I am a work-from-home writer/editor, and my husband is a scientist working in biotech. Aside from our very friendly poodle mutt (pictured in profile), the last member of our household is our daughter. She is great with dogs, having grown up learning how to nicely pet our pup. ** Some of the dogs that I have watched over the years have been coming to me longer than I’ve known my husband. We look forward to adding yours to the pack! ** Outside, your pet will get minimum 3 walks and/or off-leash time at a dog park. Inside, we will nap together in between rounds of fetch. ** My family is what you might consider perfect for your dog’s stay: pretty boring! 🤣 We don’t go out much, and if we do, we don’t stay out late. ***
About: We’ve fostered around 20 pups and volunteered at a senior center with our pup, bringing comfort and joy to others. These experiences shaped our calm, patient, and loving approach to every dog we care for, with 20+ repeat clients. We both work remotely from home, which means your dog will have constant supervision, companionship, and attention throughout the day. Dogs in care are never left alone for long periods and settle into a relaxed, home style, cozy routine. We focus on providing a calm, peaceful environment. Dogs are treated like family, enjoying neighborhood walks, playtime, naps, and quiet time. Only accepting calm, well mannered dogs who are comfortable sharing space and not prone to resource guarding, which helps maintain a safe and stress free home. The home is set up for comfort and calm, providing extra dog beds in multiple areas, cozy resting spots, and a variety of toys and enrichment items to keep dogs comfortable and engaged. Dogs are free to relax, play, nap, and move around at their own pace. Because we work remotely, pet care fits seamlessly into our daily routine and, with always being home, allows for frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. Plenty of grassy areas and walking paths near our residence, making outdoor time easy and enjoyable. The schedule is structured but flexible, adjusting to each dog’s energy level and normal routine. Available on weekdays and weekends, can accommodate extended stays, and aim to support last minute bookings when possible. Your dog’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. Our home is clean, calm, and well supervised, and the dogs are never left unattended. We follow each pet’s routine closely and introduce dogs thoughtfully to maintain a peaceful environment. We take dogs out for frequent potty breaks and daily walks, always with safety in mind. Crate if requested, but most dogs relax freely indoors with cozy spaces to rest. To help you feel confident and connected, we provide daily photo and video updates, and we're always happy to send additional photos, videos, or text updates on demand. You’ll never have to wonder how your pet is doing. We also recommend a meet & greet prior to boarding to ensure we’re a great fit and that your dog feels comfortable in our home.
“Excellent service, exceeded our expectations. Our kitten Lucy took to Lina the day they met and I couldn’t be happier. Loved the pictures of our kitten while we were out. Haven’t traveled with such a peace of mind for our beloved pet before and won’t want to again! Thank you Lina :)”
“We had a great experience with our sitter during the holiday season. Communication was excellent and very fast from the moment we asked about availability. Izzy and Shito were very well taken care of and looked happy and relaxed when we got back. The apartment was in great condition, and overall we felt very at ease knowing our cats were in good hands. We would definitely book again and highly recommend! 🐱✨”
About: I’ve had several kittens, young cats. Raised cats before children! From super friendly to the ‘like to keep a low profile personalities’, cats are my all time favorite animals. I’m working very part time for now. Can care for cats local to me. My days start early and can be flexible around feeding times. I will take care of your pet as instructed in your home. Being sure to lock door when leaving. Plus any other specifics. Ok for more then one cat.
“Great cat sitter, my Loki loves her. Very in tune with what he needed. Left apartment looking good, all of the cat stuff in good condition. Very responsive with great pictures of a very happy cat! Will not only hire again but will definitely recommend!”
About: I have a genuine passion for caring for animals, along with extensive experience and a strong commitment to professionalism and reliability. I am a devoted cat owner myself and currently care for two cats with very different personalities, which has given me a deep understanding of the unique needs and behaviors of each pet.
About: With over 5 years of experience in cat care, I've gained a deep understanding of what makes our feline friends thrive. From proper nutrition and grooming to behavior insights and health monitoring, I've learned that each cat has its own unique needs. Providing a safe, stimulating environment and building trust through patience and affection are key. Whether it’s addressing specific health concerns, ensuring a balanced diet, or simply knowing how to recognize their moods and quirks, this experience has made me truly appreciate the complexity and beauty of caring for cats.

Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
“Allison has been absolutely amazing with our puppy, Lulu! She has great communication, is very flexible, and clearly truly cares about the dogs she watches. From the beginning, she took the time to ask detailed questions about Lulu’s routine so she could keep everything as consistent as possible while we were away. She sent pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind, and it was obvious Lulu was happy and well cared for. What really appreciated was that even though Lulu is still in training, Allison continued the habits and routines we’ve been working on at home. There was no disruption when Lulu came back to us, no acting out or setbacks. We will absolutely be repeat clients and would recommend her without hesitation. If you want someone who will genuinely care for your pet like their own, Allison is your person!”
“Sein is a fantastic sitter! She takes great care of my pup Little Bear and you can tell she’s very gentle with him (he has separation anxiety). Always responsive and ensures Little Bear has many walks and is fed as requested. Highly, highly recommend booking with Sein!!”
“Alissa was so sweet! She accommodated our last minute booking due to an urgent need and I felt so lucky that we found her! She also took amazing pictures of my dog ?❤️ We'd have definitely gone to Alissa again if we didn't move out of Seattle. Highly recommended!”
About: I have one French Bulldog, ZaZa who is three and a tiny poodle mix, Blake, who is 2.5! Blake has lived with me throughout most of my college experience ever since he was 2 weeks old. I trained him by myself while also taking care of zaza from time to time! I just graduated from UC Berkeley, and I am currently looking for a part time job, but as of now I am completely free to focus on caring for doggos! I also have my dog Blake at home with me, so I am open to fit with your schedule. Blake is an energetic dog, so I like to take him out on 3-5 walks everyday. I also take him to the dog park once a week to help release his energy and interact with other dogs. I have plenty of toys at home, and training treats! Since Blake is a poodle, and he has long curly hair, I have a grooming kit at home as well that we use once every two weeks!
“Tillana was great! My puppy had an upset stomach and she gave great Recs and even provided him with some pumpkin which was so appreciated. She's a great communicator and sent lots of pictures which I loved!”
“Brisket had the best day with Keli and her family and even got to go on a hike to a new to him spot for the best new smells. Keli was very communicative with me and I really appreciated her flexibility in meeting with us ahead of time for a meet and greet. Brisket will definitely be back!”
“Barbara was really great! Bella stayed with her for daycare today and she was awesome with her. She was very communicative and sent lots of pics to keep me updated. She even offered a meet and greet beforehand. Since the pup is such a senior and has special needs, it’s a relief to find someone who is so attentive and kind. I would definitely recommend booking with her.”

About: I have always had a passion for animal caretaking and my love for animals really took off after studying Animal Science at UC Davis. I started off with very basic dog walking which eventually snowballed into dog training. From there I’ve worked at pet hotels, dog training facilities, and fostered for many rescues. I am currently an active foster for BASH, Welcome Home Sanctuary, and Nine Lives here in the Bay Area. My goal is to create the most home-like experience for your pet while you are away, while prioritizing the safety and comfort of your pet. I keep a quiet home to help shy/nervous/anxious pets acclimate and also provide playtimes and owner-brought enrichments for our more rambunctious guests. Pets are allowed on furniture (given they are allowed on furniture at home) and are treated like family. I am comfortable taking pets of all ages with no major illness. I am comfortable administering medications, accommodating special diets, and separating pets that need extra space. I cannot wait to meet your best friend! Time availabilities: I am available for daycare drop offs 7-9am and daycare pick ups 6-9pm I am available for boarding drop offs starting at 9am and pick ups ending by 9pm. Child free home with two adults who WFH. I am available for drop offs and can be flexible M-F; weekends I like to take our guests on hikes to Pulgas Ridge or Stafford Park. Please be up to date on flea/tick meds! * I am not able to take human aggressive pets * Dogs are taken on two walks a day, offered as many potty breaks needed, access to water and toys 24/7, and play times with friends! For the safety of all our guests, dogs are separated during meal times and overnight using crates.
About: I've been caring for dogs with love and intention since I was 14 — and now my husband and I get to do it alongside Kaia, my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel pup 🐶 She's warm, emotionally attuned, and genuinely excited to make a new friend — but she'll also give your pup all the space they need if they'd rather just cozy up solo. We have a fenced front yard, backyard, and cozy indoor space, so your fur baby will feel right at home. My husband and I work from home during the day, so there will always be someone available and taking care of the pets throughout the day. I have a fenced front and backyard, and a sweet, playful Cavalier King Charles Spaniel pup to keep them company. I can crate your dog and provide a safe space if they need it, and I will feed them at the designated time. We will only watch up to 2 pets (including our own) at a time, so you can be sure your pup will be given lots of care and attention.
“Carolina is very attentive and caring, and sent lots of updates throughout the day care. Her place is very clean and welcoming, and the pups had a great and relaxing time staying with her. We really appreciate her taking good care of our pups and will definitely book her again!”
“Stacey has been incredible with our little dog Coco. She has been extremely communicative and sent us lots of pictures during our time away. Coco loved her time hanging out with Stacey’s dogs and having lots of play time. Thank you so much Stacey, we’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Susanne was great with our dogs. This was our first time with doggie day care. Susanne made us all feel reassured and comfortable. She is incredibly attentive and conscientious. We got many messages from her throughout the day. The pups seemed happy and content when we came to get them.”
About: I love animals and have experience with elderly cats and dogs with special needs, as well as bunnies, chickens and goats. I know it can be difficult to find good care for our furry friends and I am happy to lend a helping hand to other pet owners when possible.

At this time, I CANNOT care for PUPPIES nor DOGS WITH HIGH PREY DRIVE, as I have an elderly cat with cancer and limited mobility. My specializations: Cats/ Dogs: - Elderly animals – Senior pets with age-related needs and comfort requirements - Pets requiring medications – Pills, oral syringes, subcutaneous injections, and complex medication schedules - Dogs with limited mobility – Experience with mobility support, assistance with bathroom needs, and gentle handling - Socially anxious pets – Care for dogs with social anxiety, under-socialization (not aggressive), or "COVID / velcro dog" behaviors Chickens: - Proper nutrition and protein supplementation, correcting unwanted behaviors (brooding, egg pecking), spotting signs of parasite infestation and common diseases (Marek's disease), treating pasty butts Goats: - Goats – Proper nutrition and mineral supplementation, parasite prevention, recognizing signs of anemia (FAMACHA method) and other health issues, understanding their dietary needs and personalities What makes my service different: - Home all day – I work from home, so pets receive constant supervision and companionship (never left alone) - Pet sitting insurance – Professional coverage for your peace of mind - Senior & special needs specialist – Extensive experience with elderly pets, mobility issues, and chronic conditions - Medical care expertise – Comfortable with pills, oral syrinces, and subcutaneous injections - Secure fenced garden – Safe outdoor space for play and potty breaks - At home grooming station: I can give your dog a bath before handing the back to you (no other grooming services) Important: I cannot accept for boarding/day care in my home: ❌ Puppies under 1.5 year ❌ Extremely high-energy dogs requiring intensive exercise ❌ Dogs with high prey drive toward cats Why? My elderly and diasbled cat needs a calm environment where she feels safe and is not able to quickly run away or climb up if needed. Examples from my experience/Pets I've had the privilege of caring for: 1. I've taken care of an Australian Shepard mix who developed a neurological disease and wasn't able to walk on his own for over a year. I learnt how to support him to go to the bathroom and still live a meaningful life. 2. Took care of a 15 year old cat with renal failure, doing daily under-skin fluid injections and managing water intake and increased urination. 3. Cared for 16 year-old deaf and blind Border collie, with mild senile dementia. 4. I currenty have have an energetic Australian Kelpie with social anxiety and have experience dealing with "COVID dogs" or dogs who haven't been socialized a lot and may need some extra attention or are nervous around other people and dogs. 5. I worked as a permaculture consultant for 8 months, taking care of 12 chickens and 5 goats for a bay area homestead. I have expertise in providing correct food, and protein supplements for chickens health as well as prevent and spot issues with parasites. I work from home in the Bay Area, and I am available for dog boarding at my home and house sitting and taking care of your pets at your home. I can board pets at our home, which has a fairly large backyard (about 7,000sq ft) with mature trees and shaded areas. My home is calm and quiet—perfect for dogs who need a relaxed atmosphere. I maintain consistent routines and supervise all interactions between pets to ensure everyone feels comfortable and safe. Pets can stay inside, sleep on one two large confy dog beds, or on our couch / armchairs (unless you prefer they don't learn that behavior- please let me know). We live in a really nice and walkable residential neighbourhood perfect for small and extra long walks in a safe environement. We also have a dog washing station at home and I can provide baths for an additional small fee.

“Gloria was very punctual and communicated extremely well with me. She was able to help me out last minute and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to take care of their furry friends!”
“Great communication and was great with my puppy. Took him out and gave him his food and made sure he was comfortable along the way! Would definitely have Cynthia walk my dog again in the future.”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine one-on-one attention I give each pet, making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you're away. I have been around dogs for most of my life and have been caring for them for about six years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me with their pets, and I genuinely love getting to know each dog's unique personality. Whether a dog is energetic and playful or prefers a slower pace and lots of cuddles, I enjoy making them feel comfortable and cared for. I especially enjoy spending time with senior dogs and understand the extra patience and attention they sometimes need. I am currently a college student, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, and spending quality time with your pets throughout the week and most weekends. Caring for animals fits naturally into my routine because it is something I truly enjoy doing. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I do not take that responsibility lightly. I always follow your instructions carefully and do my best to keep your pet's routine consistent. Whether I am caring for them in your home or taking them on a walk, their safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I treat every pet the same way I would want someone to treat my own.
About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember and have had pets growing up throughout my life. Since I was about 10 years old, neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they were away. I also have experience house-sitting and making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved in their own environment. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I always take the time to provide attentive, reliable care. Whether it’s a quick check-in, a long walk, or overnight care, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I am currently volunteering at hospitals and clinics during my gap year before I attend Nursing school. Because of my flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care throughout the week and weekends. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they receive the proper attention and exercise they deserve. For dog walks, I prioritize safety, exercise, and making sure each dog has a positive experience. I understand that every dog has different energy levels and walking needs, so I take the time to learn their routine and preferences. During walks, I remain attentive to my surroundings, keep dogs secure on their leash, and ensure they get the exercise, attention, and care they need. I am dependable, patient, and happy to provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident their dog is in good hands.
“Criss is the best so thorough?She did more than I asked.She took so many pictures.My dog and cat were well taken care of. I didn't have any problems or worries. We are keeping Criss forever .”
“Excellent communication and attention to the weather to avoid overheating Ceara's paws. Ceara was calm, happy and well exercised when we returned. G. was pleasant and professional.”
“Josh was amazing. He took great care of both my dogs. His communication was great and I felt really safe leaving both dogs in his care. I will absolutely be booking with him in the future.”
“Kim was professional and considerate from the moment we met. She walked my pup a few days while I was out of town, helping split care with my mom. Kim checked in ahead of the service, during with questions, and sent lots of pictures to clearly show what happened. When my pup was sick one day, Kim kindly cleaned up after her and sat with her instead of trying to push through with a walk. I felt so comfortable leaving my pup in her hands.”
“Patrick was outstanding. He listened patiently to my nervous dog's needs and by the end of the walk they were friends. He went above & beyond to make sure Cody & I were both comfortable. Kind, communicative, flexible & punctual. We will definitely be meeting again.”

Because of COVID going outdoors I still take precautions of my safety and yours, I do wash my hands for 30 seconds after touching an item, I do stay 6 feet away from people with my mask on. In my home it is always clean and sanitize. I do clean your pets paws if they go on walks. (Isn’t necessarily just an option) All pets should be potty trained Please.
About: Hello! My name is Pouneh, and I’m a reliable and caring pet lover who truly enjoys spending time with animals. I have 29 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of different breeds and personalities. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe and happy while you're away, so I provide attentive care, regular walks, playtime, and lots of affection. I’m responsible, patient, and committed to making pets feel comfortable in my care. I’m happy to send photo updates so you can feel at ease while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! As a stay-at-home mother of teenage twin girls, I have a very flexible schedule and am available most mornings, afternoons, and throughout the week. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet in my care. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. Whether in my home or my client’s home, I make sure pets feel comfortable, supervised, and well cared for. I treat every pet like my own and keep owners updated so they feel confident their pets are in good hands.
“Aylia was extremely communicative, catered to our shy dogs needs, and responsible. I could tell she is used to working with skittish dogs and is willing to give them the space they need to feel safe. She did have an unforeseen emergency arise during our scheduled walks but she notified me quickly and Rover actually gave a credit for the trouble of finding a second sitter last minute. I would definitely rebook her if we need another walker!”

About: What sets me apart is the combination of hands-on experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments, along with the level of care and attention I genuinely put into every dog I look after. I’ve worked closely with a young puppy, attending training sessions and learning how to reinforce positive behaviors and create an environment where a dog can thrive. I’m comfortable continuing training routines, maintaining structure, and helping puppies build good habits. On the other end of the spectrum, I also have experience caring for senior dogs who require extra patience and support—whether that’s assisting with mobility, following specific diets, or adapting to hearing and vision loss. I regularly dog sit for friends with very different needs, from high-energy dogs who need multiple long walks a day to older dogs who require a slower pace and more hands-on care. I’ve also cared for multiple dogs at once, making sure each one gets the individual attention they need. I pride myself on being adaptable and attentive, tailoring my care to each dog’s personality, routine, and comfort level. Beyond experience, what truly sets me apart is how deeply I care. I treat every dog like family, not just a job. I’ve even gone out of my way on multiple occasions to help neighbors find their lost dogs and have successfully helped reunite them with their owners several times. I believe it’s our responsibility to create a safe, loving, and positive environment where dogs feel relaxed, happy, and encouraged—and that’s exactly the kind of care I provide every time. I work full-time with a flexible hybrid schedule, which allows me to plan ahead one or two weeks in advance for working on site or at home. On days I go into the office, I can take pups on walks in the early morning or evening. I’m fully available for boarding on weekends, and depending on my work schedule, I can also offer overnight boarding during the week. I do my best to be flexible and accommodate each dog’s routine—whether that means early morning walks, regular potty breaks, or sticking closely to their usual schedule. If your pup is used to a 7am walk, I’m more than happy to start the day early to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I prioritize creating a safe, clean, and comfortable environment that helps every dog feel at ease, whether they’re in my home or their own. In my home, I have a private, fenced backyard that’s only accessible through my apartment, so your dog can safely enjoy fresh air. It’s partially covered as well, providing some protection from rain. Inside, I keep my space clean and dog-friendly, with cushioned area rugs to prevent slipping and give dogs a comfortable place to walk, play, or relax. I also provide cozy blankets and an outdoor dog bed so they have options for resting wherever they feel most comfortable. Cleanliness and routine are very important to me—I wash food bowls after each use and refresh water bowls daily. Dogs are welcome on my furniture, but I always respect and follow your home rules to maintain consistency. If your dog isn’t allowed on furniture, I will reinforce those same boundaries. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m very respectful of their space and attentive to instructions. I carefully follow all provided routines, house rules, and notes to ensure your dog experiences as much consistency and comfort as possible while you’re away.
“Chiara took great care of Peanut, my 16yo deaf semi-blind senior dog who requires several oral and eye medications. She also provided a daily update with photos and was very easy to coordinate with.”
“Jifu and his wife took very good care of our dog for 4 nights. He was fed on time and per our requests. Daily updates and photos. They even put a tag on his harness to be extra cautious. Their dog Joky is also super friendly. I hope that we can book them in our next trip!”
“Shannon was absolutely wonderful with Dobby. I was able to relax on my vacation knowing my dog was having a vacation of his own with Apollo. She gave frequent updates with plenty of photos and was very communicative during the stay. I couldn’t recommend her enough.”
“Deborah is amazing!! Snoopy was taken on a lot of walks. She was kind to him. She fell in love with him and it made the whole experience. It’s just absolutely amazing from the very beginning. I would highly recommend her. She is a very caring person and you can tell she loves animals.”
“Tillana is incredibly professional yet fun. We appreciated her attention to detail while she watched our pup, as well as the frequent updates featuring pictures of him living his best life. We will definitely be using Tillana again.”
“Cali loved her overnight boarding time with Alexa D. This was my first time as a Dog Mom using Rover and Alexa made me feel totally at ease leaving my high energy pup with her. She was an attentive communicator and patient with all of my questions. We had a meet and greet beforehand where we shared information and anything noteworthy about Cali. Alexa's knowledge of dogs, her experience, and all of the ways she cares for them were impressive. Thank you Alexa for taking such care of my baby girl!”
“Ruo was an amazing dog sitter for my little pup! She had him for 5 days while we were away and I could tell he was super happy and well loved. She was great about keeping me updated on his day and sending pictures which I really appreciated. Honestly I think she is the best sitter we have ever had! Highly recommend and we will absolutely use her again.”
About: I've taken care of small dogs and large dogs since I was in middle school. I enjoy playing with dogs, giving them lots of hugs and pets, and taking them on excursions, whether it be to the dog park, beach, or a scenic hiking trail. I work part-time from home so I am able to spend lots of time with the fur babies in my care. I love to take them out for fresh air and exercise, and give them lots of love, pets, and attention. I have a fenced, grassy backyard and a friendly labrador retriever named Sadie who is very sweet and playful and loves having other dogs to play with. We have a doggie door so the pups have day and night access to the backyard to run around and do their business. I can easily crate your dog if that is something you prefer.
“Lia was wonderful in taking care of Belle for a week. This was the first time for Belle to be away from us. Lia made us comfortable by sending videos every day and keep in constant communication with the entire time. Lia’s Gigi was a great friend to Belle and they had a wonderful time. I would definitely ask Lia to dog sit in the future.”
About: I have one French Bulldog, ZaZa who is three and a tiny poodle mix, Blake, who is 2.5! Blake has lived with me throughout most of my college experience ever since he was 2 weeks old. I trained him by myself while also taking care of zaza from time to time! I just graduated from UC Berkeley, and I am currently looking for a part time job, but as of now I am completely free to focus on caring for doggos! I also have my dog Blake at home with me, so I am open to fit with your schedule. Blake is an energetic dog, so I like to take him out on 3-5 walks everyday. I also take him to the dog park once a week to help release his energy and interact with other dogs. I have plenty of toys at home, and training treats! Since Blake is a poodle, and he has long curly hair, I have a grooming kit at home as well that we use once every two weeks!
“Hattie had a great stay! Great communication with Aaron who sent daily pictures and some updates. Our dog had a great stay full of walks and hikes. Would highly recommend Aaron!”
“Margaret exceeded all expectations! So happy and thankful to have found her. Our girl Juniper is sensitive and can be nervous around new people but she really bonded with Margaret. It was a great experience for her!”
“The family of Zicheng and Kennedy took care of Minnie so well. It was such a life saver during our long trip to know that Minnie was at good hand . We got photo updates showing all daily routine of walking , playing , sleeping. Medication also well administered as needed. Such a easy communication with them by Rover messages. I can tell Minnie was integrated as their family member.Kennedy was such a calm and lovely buddy. Minnie came back with us healthy and happy . Thanks again for your care. We definitely recommend their services.”
