“Our two little ones seem to have had the time of their lives. They arrived home happy and relaxed, and spoiled with home cooked food. Mariola provided daily pictures and updates. Could not have asked for more.”
“Lucas was a great host! We love getting photos of our pup when we are away from her and Lucas sent daily updates and many photos. Our dog was tired when we picked her up from playing with the other dogs at Lucas' house. We did a meet and greet before the booking to meet Lucas. He was easy to communicate with and answered all of our questions. Would definitely recommend and will book with him again!”
“Rob is an excellent dog sitter. My little pup has separation anxiety and felt very at home with Rob, and eventually became their shadow. Thank you, Rob! We’ll be seeing you in the future 💜”
“Frygg loved staying w Nathaniel. He sent videos and updates. My dog came home happy and tired. I think she misses being there and playing with Nathaniel’s dogs!! Highly recommend. Would book again.”
“Jeanette is so lovely! It makes it so easy to go away knowing that our labradoodle Chester is in such good hands. She’s extremely communicative and responsible and our dog just loves her! We highly recommend booking with her for peace of mind the next time you need to leave town.”
“Gabi was well cared for and loved. She spent a lot of play time in the backyard. I love that Gabi got lots and lots of attention given Kushram being retired. My only gripe would be that I would have liked more updates, but that's only because it was the first time I left my pup with someone else. However, when I would reach out Kushram would get back to me within the hour... I will book with them again.”
“Yang was great! We were worried about leaving our puppy because our he is only 4.5 months old. But she sent daily photos and always responded quickly to our questions. She even came by to deliver something that we had left when we picked him up, and when Wilbur saw her again he was so excited! He came home happy and tired. I definitely recommend Yang and will use her as a sitter for our puppy again in the future!”
“Anne is a very good dog sitter for our dog Harry. She is very communicative with us on his daily fun with her. She’s a very nice and considerate person. We are so happy to have found her as a dog sitter for Harry”
“Chen was great with Bowser. He takes care of him, walks him multiple times a day, feeds him and is super responsive to queries. He shares videos and photos through out the day which is super lovely. Would recommend!”
“Michelle was a wonderful sitter! She was very easy to communicate with, and sent a photo every day. I felt at ease knowing that she was taking care of my pup while I was away.”
“Hope was recommended to us by another great Rover sitter, and we are really grateful. Hope is so friendly and knowledgeable about dogs and their behavior. She made Coconut comfortable immediately. Her little dog Rocky is adorable and super friendly. Coconut loved going for walks and playing with Rocky's toys. Hope was great with sending text updates as well as photos and videos. Here's hoping Hope doesn't get too busy to have room for Coconut the next time we need her!”
“Monica was fantastic with Wick! We did a meet and greet, and then a park walk together the next day to ensure that Mila (her sweet Shih Tzu) and Wick got along. She communicated well, sent pics and videos. And she has a dog step which is helpful for small senior dogs to protect their joints. She genuinely understands dogs, not just 'sells' it. I will definitely use Monica again!”
“Maya (Anchisa) was an exceptional sitter for our furry son. We took a 5 day family vacation and she watched our 17 lb dog. Maya sent multiple updates every day and seemed to like taking as many photos and videos of our little guy as we do! We feel very comfortable trusting Maya with our dog.”
“Danielle was very communicative and was very attentive to Zag. She sent lots of pics and vids, said she gave him a bath when he got dirty, and took him out for sunshine and playtime. He got along very well with her super sweet pup as well. Danielle also just seemed very sweet and good with dogs!”
“Lynn took so good care of our dog Max over Christmas and New Years and did everything to make him feel at home. And we enjoyed receiving pictures every day to see how he was doing.”
“I’m a repeat customer for a reason! Josephine has been fantastic every time she’s watched Paco. She’s kind, flexible, communicative, and truly goes above and beyond. I never have to worry when I’m away because I know Paco is safe, loved, and receiving excellent care.”
“Michael and VJ are great. Top line communication. Very amenable to the needs of my dog and inherently professional. They kept me informed of what was up with my boy and went above and beyond to keep him safe and healthy. Big thumbs up from us.”
“I’m very happy that i finally found safe, fun and comfortable stay for my Denver. Sabin is reliable, trustworthy and goes above and beyond. My dog was very happy and was playing with their dog (nimki) when i got their to pick him up.. they are such a sweetheart!!! Definitely will book him again! !! Highly recommended!!!!!!!”
“Sara was fantastic! She communicated well with us during the whole time our dog, Ellie, stayed with her. The photos were so cute and made us feel so comfortable while we were away. We'll definitely be having Sara take care of our dog again!”

“Rebecca has provided excellent care for my kitty on two occasions, once shortly after he came into my life as a 5 month old rescue, and the second time soon after he turned one year old, still full of mischievous energy. Rebecca is an excellent communicator, reliable and trustworthy. She sends several photos from each visit. I return home to a calm and happy cat, and my home, kitchen and kitty litter area are very tidy. I greatly appreciate being able to relax and enjoy my time away, knowing my kitty is well cared for. I highly recommend Rebecca!”
“Amber did a great job taking care of our babies. When our cats inevitably broke something or messed it up, Amber was extremely helpful in coming to our aid and fixing whatever needed to be done. She works in a timely manner and got in plenty of pets. I high recommend her.”
“Michael was great from the time I dropped off my cat, until I came back to pick him up. I got daily texts and photos that confirmed my immediate confidence in him. I hope he’s available for my next trip. Jack- Richmond CA”
“Patricia V takes such good care of my kitties. My older kitty even comes to greet her because she knows she will get her squeezey treats! Will definitely call her back when I have another trip!”

“It was great having Olivia petsit my Persian kitty, Maya! I loved the pics and updates she would send and I always felt reassured. My kitty was super sweet, relaxed, and comfortable by the end of her visits. I really look forward to having Olivia petsit Maya again!”
“Phuong is reliable, honest, communicative, and professional. We know our pets are in good hands when we book with her, and will absolutely continue to work with her when the need arises! This last booking, we had an unexpected delay that prevented our returning home for another day, and she was able to accommodate a last minute extension to care for the pets for a couple more visits. Highly recommended!”
“Sophia was great of taking care of our cats! In fact, she did so much more than that! She generously agreed to water our plants, took out and rolled our trash bins when we were away and took packages in. She sent daily updates when she visited. Overall communication was very easy, and Sophia was very helpful, reliable, and friendly. We are so lucky we found her! We will definitely ask her to help out next time we go on vacation.”
“Tia was fabulous! Great communication and paid attention to all of my (perhaps gratuitous at times) instructions. My cat is often shy with folks but seemed to warm up to her almost immediately, which— I think— speaks volumes.”
“Alba (Priscilla) was great! I was worried our shy kitty would just stay hidden and not get any interaction while we were gone. But Priscilla was great with them & they both got play time and pets. They were healthy and happy when we got home! Would definitely book again.”
“Nicoletta has been fantastic with taking care of our three cats and the house! She is very kind, and reassured us when we were concerned about one of our cats. Above and beyond!”
“Kyla was professional, courteous, dependable, and took excellent care of my cat,Baxter. She provided a great sense of comfort and peace of mind for me to leave my cat under her care for five days. Twice a day, I received pictures showing me that Baxter was being well cared for. All my directions for his care, including medication, meals, litter box and treats were followed to the letter.For future care of my pet, there would be no hesitation on my part to entrust Baxter‘s care with Kyla. Thank you💕”
“We love William and Club Meow! Our go to hero - William was able to accommodate and of course give the best care for my kitten Luna! She loves her stay there and feel so comfortable making herself at home 😅 thank you, William!”

“My dog had a wonderful time! Bonnie was incredibly accommodating and caring, and did a great job with a working breed — they had lovely walks and plenty of playtime together. I loved getting pictures and videos throughout the day, such a nice touch. She also sent updates on eating and snacking. Highly recommend for daycare!”
“Jessica is a natural with dogs! She is very thoughtful and detail oriented. I have 2 seniors with special health needs and she is very attentive and reliable. My dogs are anxious with changes to their routine but after a few days with Jessica they were happy to rush into her place when I dropped off, and tried to follow her back to her place instead of getting in the car to leave after pick up. I definitely recommend Jessica!”
“Mariola was an awesome sitter! She was very responsive to our puppy, Pao Pao's, needs and went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable. If you're looking for a responsible and loving sitter, Mariola is the one!”
“Loved all the photos!! Matthew and Van Joseph were so patient and caring with my nervous gal. It was obvious that Ramona felt comfortable there - she’s been super leash reluctant, but they got her to go on 2 walks during daycare!! Huge success. They were super communicative and great. Can’t wait to bring Ramona back and watch her settle in even more :)”
“Chen and his family all supported my dog at day care and providing top notch care, updates, and photographs of her stay! Highly recommend to anyone looking for great sitters who LOVE dogs and we will absolutely be coming back to see them!”

“Jeannette and her family took great care of my very shy and timid dog. It was such a relief knowing that my baby girl was in such caring hands. Would highly recommend Jeanette and her family to take care of your fur babies. Thank you again!”
“Anchisa is wonderful with dogs! She managed Joey’s puppy antics beautifully and kept in touch during the day with frequent updates and photo. Joey was clearly happy and completely at ease with her and her husband. Highly recommended!”
“Michael is such an amazing dog care provider. He really tunes in to the needs of your dog and is very pleasant to work with. He was kind, accommodating and friendly with me and our dog. He sent great photos, and was very communicative about how the visit was going and afterwards. We will enjoy a visit w Michael and his cute dog soon! You can feel confident that Michael will take very good care of your doggy! Liza”
“Ivy is so kind and great with my 2 dogs. I was able to have a great time exploring SF while knowing my dogs were in good hands. I got lots of photo updates on how they were doing. And Ivy was very easy to communicate with and flexible with our schedule. I strongly recommend her, extra bonus, she has an easy spot to pull the car over to drop the dogs off. Would 100% book with her again if we come back to SF.”

“Very impressed with Hong! We had a last-minute change of plans and needed a sitter for our girl Spoon, and Hong was absolutely amazing. She cared for Spoon like she was her own, which gave us so much peace of mind. She’s incredibly thorough and keeps us updated throughout the day—even down to every bowel movement—which we really appreciated. We’re so grateful to have found her and will definitely keep booking with her. Highly recommend! 🤍”
“Eleanor was super communicative and took the best care of Lani! She also took Lani in for day care super last minute and was flexible with timing, which I really appreciated. 10/10 recommend!”

“Michael did such an amazing job caring for our dog while he was out of town! He took him for walks and also spent time playing with him in our yard so that he wouldn’t be lonely while we were away and sent us the cutest pictures so we knew that our little fluffball was doing ok! He also went above and beyond by bringing in our mail and packages and taking out our trash cans on collection day. Highly recommend Michael - he’s responsible, kind, and very easy to work with!”
“Cyndi was wonderful with my dog during the three weeks she walked him. He was always excited and happy to go with her, and I felt confident knowing he was in good hands. She’s reliable, caring, and clearly great with dogs. Highly recommend!”
“Celeste is the best! She’s extremely reliable and communicates well. I’m always reaching out to her last minute and she is always prompt with her response. Olive does so well with her ♥️. We’ll continue using her services when needed.”
“Rebecca is great with my dog and even brought him a companion one day. He needs more socialization with other dogs, so this was perfect for him. A very thoughtful and helpful touch.”
“Signe has been walking my Doberman for about 3 months now and I couldn’t be happier. I can tell she loves my dog and takes care of him and his “special” personality. Hope to continue to have a long walking relationship with her.”

“Yasmin was so incredibly great with my dog! I have a very hyper little dog and she was so patient and kind with him. She took him for long walks (even in this heatwave!) and made sure he had water after they were done. She also takes the cutest pictures that I have saved many to my phone. She even provides an update of how the walk went and what happened with her walking card which definitely going above and beyond. If you need a great dog walker I would highly recommend her because she is so amazing!”
“Mariah takes our dog for an hour long walk since my family is currently unable to do it every day after our schedules have changed. No complaints here. Mariah is very clear and communicative. 10/10 would highly recommend.”
“This is a repeat hire due to the success and quality of the previous walk . Our Malinois is well rested after the walk , and communication with Judy was clear and comfortable . Heartily recommended!”
“V was so helpful and responsive. What started as a weekend of dog walks turned into a month of regular dog walks at various times thru the day. V was quick to respond to my inquires and Ernest really seemed to like them. I highly recommend V for big dogs like Ernest (and likely any dog smaller than 90 lbs, which I know is many!). They handled his hesitancies (and mine) well with us scheduling a meet and greet and then treating him well thru all the walks. Thanks V!”
“Natalie is a great dog walker! She has a calming influence and spent extra time to get our dog comfortable with her, before a weeklong stints of 2x day walks. She also sent us photos so we could see he missed us less by the day. Will reach out to Natalie again when we have the need!”
“Merlette was so patient with our dog who was a little shy on the first visit. She’s also a great communicator and made the whole process easy. So relieved to have found someone who can walk our dog.”
About: *great references available upon request. Please feel free to reach out with any questions.* Hi there! I have been in the animal care business my whole life. Growing up on a ranch taught me a lot about horses, dogs, cats and the outdoors. I am very knowledgeable in terms of animal health and behavior. I have been entrusted with many great animals in my lifetime, and it's so rewarding to get to know each individual pet and their families. Having raised my own German Shepherds, I was able to apply and learn what I needed to create a good all around dog. My personal dogs have given me and edge in how I communicate with each dog that comes into my care. I understand all dogs are different and I like taking things slow, and building trust and confidence in the long run. I take pride in providing the greatest care to each individual pet. I have references for house/pet sitting, dog walks, basic dog grooming, Kennel Management, Dog Breeding, ranch caretaking, barn manager, foreman, assistant to horse trainer, from/horse care/feed/lay up. I also have background in House Cleaning, in home caregiving and Personal Assistant roles. I am accustomed to taking care of my own personal pets daily. I check their food/water in am and pm. and usually lunch time. I take them out for constant bathroom breaks, play time, exercise. Double checking doors, locks. Safety First. Ensuring all and any gear are working well, (collar, leash, harness etc) I reach out to you periodically during visits / walks/ boarding/ sitting. I am available for any questions, comments, and concerns.
“Alexandra is great! Very responsive to messages and great with our dogs. She also pays attention to details and points out anything of concern, including noticing a tick on one of our dogs that we were than able to take care of. She has been super helpful and we utilize her services anytime we can!”

I would happily recommend Sara and Evan to anybody looking to board their dogs!”
