“Loved letting Plumeria stay with Kushram! Went out of town for 4 days, and they took great care of her. They sent photos every few days for updates on care, and were very kind and reassuring. Will definitely be going back.”
“Allora was great! I only have positive things to say, Coco seemed so happy staying with her and her family. Allora sent me frequent updates and pictures which was great! I will definitely be boarding Coco with her again.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities for 15 years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, play with, and care for their pets while away. I’m patient, attentive, active, and genuinely love animals. I understand the importance of making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I love taking dogs on hikes and to the beach as well. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week and on weekends. I enjoy staying active, spending time outdoors, and making sure pets get the care, attention, exercise, and companionship they need to feel happy and comfortable. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving, and attentive environment and always follow the owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding, routines, medications, walks, and special care needs. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior and body language to ensure they feel safe, secure, and well cared for at all times.
“Jeanette was fantastic! She shared pictures every day and was extra attentive with my shy and nervous pup. Her home was a great place for boarding with space for my dog to explore indoors and outdoors and she could play with other dogs if she liked or could have her own space separated away from the others. Definitely recommend Jeanette’s care!”
“My dog Gracie, who is shy, really enjoyed staying with Nadine. She especially loved Nadine‘s dog Cosmo, and happily played with her. Nadine sent me pictures and videos every day and that set my heart at rest that Gracie was having a wonderful time. I highly recommend Nadine. Gracie will be seen Nadine, Cosmo, and the other dogs again. Thank you so much, Nadine.”
“Wenxin is super friendly, a total dog lover (she has two rescue dogs who are very friendly and cheerful), and took great care of my dog while I was away. She sent very detailed, fun to read daily reports that chronicled every activity they did indoor and outdoor. Best dog sitter that you can find - no question!”
“I am so grateful to have found Ikeena here. My dog has anxiety and Ikeena immediately put him at ease and took great care of him. She asked thoughtful/caring questions since my dog has some special needs. She took my dog on hikes/walks in the park and took excellent care of him. She sent videos and photos too.”
“If you are looking for an EXCELLENT sitter for your dog, don't hesitate to book with Deborah! We have one dog with some special problems and Deborah was a champ with her. We got multiple pictures and updates on how they were doing through out the day. Our babies came home happy, healthy, and exhausted, so we know they had a great time. Thank you Deborah for watching our babies without us having to worry about them. BOOK WITH DEBORAH YOU WON'T BE SORRY!!!!!”
About: Hello! I’m a lifelong dog lover and the proud owner of a 10-year-old Shih Tzu–Pomeranian mix which lived with us since he was 2-month-old. So I am experienced with dogs at all ages. I’ve cared for many smalls to medium size dogs over the years and understand their routines, personalities, and needs. I have a clean, well-kept and very large, fenced yard and offer a calm, clean, and safe home with plenty of attention and gentle play. I enjoy hosting small to medium-sized dogs and treat every pup like part of the family. What is my drive? I host dogs, because I want a companion for my doggy, I enjoy spending time with dogs, and I am home every day of the week. I am available for boarding seven days a week and maintain a flexible schedule. I am home most of the day, allowing me to provide consistent supervision, care, and attention. I can often accommodate bookings on short notice and work with your schedule to ensure a smooth drop-off and pick-up experience. I provide a safe, clean, and calm home environment for all dogs. I have a large, fully fenced yard where dogs can run and play freely, along with a doggy door for easy outdoor access when appropriate. I only have one small, friendly dog at home, and I carefully introduce pets to ensure comfort and compatibility. Your dog will be supervised, cared for attentively, and treated like part of the family.
“Banksy had an amazing time at Luna's and loved playing with Jim. I felt extremely comfortable leaving Banksy with Luna, based on the questions she asked about Banksy, her attention to detail about his needs and safety, and just her kind warm personality! I loved the pictures each day. I wholeheartedly recommend Luna and will definitely be having her watch Banksy again!”
“Ross took such great care of Joey! He clearly is such a dog person who could intuitively figure out all of Joey’s quirks. Joey had a great stay and is probably already looking forward to his next stay with Ross!”
About: I am a loving and friendly dog sitter! I grew up with two dogs, a poodle and a Chihuahua. My family currently has a bull terrier that I love very much. I also take care of my best friend's dog when she is out of town. I love dogs and going on walks so this combination is perfect for me. I am currently a nanny to one of nephews as needed but I am free every day during the summer to take care of your furry babies. I make sure I read their cues of needing water/food, when they need to pee/poop, when they're overstimulated, stressed, or happy. I also make sure to pet them and show them love by scratching them, patting them, and rubbing them. I also follow any schedule that is given to me to make sure they stick to their normal routine.
About: I have over 10 years of pet boarding experience. In my home are 2 cats, 1 pug and 1 turtle. My babies love when we have guests and truly enjoy the company as much as I do. I work great hours and not too long which leaves me with plenty of play time and 2 long walks a day. I spend most of my time at home which gives us plenty of quality time to hangout. There is a large patio on the second floor for sunbathing during the day while looking at a great view of the water. As well as 2 cats, 1 pug and a turtle who love company and everyone is free to roam the whole house but they do have their own fur baby room for space if they like.
“Donna has been such a gem. She is very flexible. My Coco has special needs with medication and particular eating habits. Donna took great care of Coco while I was gone. It gave me such piece of mind. We are lucky to have found such a compassionate sitter.”
“Louis watched our dog for multiple days over Thanksgiving week, and was absolutely amazing. He gave super prompt communication and is very knowledgeable. We felt at ease during our trip knowing our dog was in good hands. Highly recommend Louis if you are in need of a great dog sitter!”
“Had an absolutely amazing experience having Amanda and Michell watch our Lucy. We’d never left a pet with strangers before, and they couldn’t have made the process more comfortable. Amanda sent daily photos and a brief note on what they did that day. Lucy got to go on many long walks and hikes, and really became part of their family. At the end of her stay, we received a report card on Lucy’s behavior, which was the cutest thing ever. Without hesitation, I’d use Amanda and Michell again, and highly recommend them to anyone needing a pet sitter.”

About: Since I started caring for loved ones' cats and adopted one of my own, I've learned what special creatures they are. Friends and family trust me with their care and I fall in love with their unique personalities every time. I clean litter boxes at least once a day, provide fresh water and food, keep track of food intake and frequency/quality of bathroom breaks, make sure they get lots of play time, and administer topical and oral medication as needed. I also have experience with senior cats and cats with chronic kidney disease.
“Merlette was super helpful when my travel got delayed and I needed a local cat sitter. She asked thoughtful questions and dropped in on my pet cat, and administered her medication.”
“Xiao was a great petsitter for my Persian cat, Maya. She was patient and Maya warmed up to her quickly. She was respectful of the place and on time with appointments giving updates during her visits. We look forward to booking with her again.”
“Deborah was incredible with our cat and rabbit! I loved her detailed writeups about each visit and all of the pictures she sent - they helped me feel much better about being away from the boys for our longest vacation in many years. It made me so happy to watch the animals warm up to her - she truly went above and beyond for all of us. I can’t recommend her enough and will definitely be re-booking in the future when we’re out of town!”

“We all love Jenna so much!! Our cat is usually a bit of a grump and takes a few days to warm up to new people, but he took to Jenna right away and has a new best friend! She also takes excellent care of our rabbit and is overall very communicative. We will happily continue to hire Jenna whenever she is available!”
About: I grew up with cats, and a year hasn't gone by without a cat in my life. I've helped acclimate wild garage cats to humans on several occasions, and have learned all the tiny body language cues. I've had friends praise me for my ability to quit the petting while I'm ahead and not get scratched by even the sassiest of cats.
“Val was amazing! She did drop in visits for my dogs for about five days. On each visit she took pictures and updated me on the status of my dogs. I could see on their faces that they were having fun with Val. She even bought them some toys to play with. She was very attentive and responsible.”
“Thank you so much for everything. You guys were extremely professional and excellent at communication. I’m so happy to have forever pet sitters now. Thank you for everything again, our Luna and Lucky were taken care of greatly!”
About: I have experience caring for cats throughout my life, as my family and I had cats while I was growing up. I am very comfortable around cats and understand the importance of providing them with patient, attentive, and respectful care. Whether your cat needs feeding, playtime, companionship, medication administration (if applicable), or drop-in visits, I am committed to providing the same level of exceptional care and attention that I would give my own pets. My goal is to ensure your cat feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you are away.
“I returned to find my cat 20-25% less petty and vindictive than when I have returned from trips with an average sitter. No shredded shoes, no "draping" on the litter-box. Daniel does sitting well.”
About: I have taken care of pets for over 10 years around the world! Neighbors, friends, families and acquaintances have all trusted me with the livelihoods of their loved ones. I can administer medication, go on as many walks as needed, drive or walk to the dog park or just cuddle on the sofa if you pet loves that too! I work as a school teacher and am an online grad student but am able to come and go as I please so my schedule is quite flexible! I am very mindful of your pets care, safety and security while they are in my trust. I can crate your pet, calm them down and care for them as per your instruction.
“Thanks so much Mandisa, Mac had a great time meeting and walking with you and it was so reassuring for me to spend time with you before you house sit, I know he will be in good hands with you!!”
“Kenyana was very kind/friendly, flexible, and communicative. Lots of pictures were sent, and she was very thorough with detailing what our dog was doing when she dropped in. I'd happily use her again!”
“My half feral cats love Vivian. Vivian follows my instructions and if needed amends the plan that day which is always reasonable , I appreciate her actions. She keeps the litter box clean, feeds, check & freshens up water fountain with clean water , lets the cats in and out in am and pm. She collects the mail, leaves the house clean and most of all provides daily pictures of cats. 😀”

“Kushram and Family are a wonderful find for dog sitting or doggy day care. Give the initial booking request a bit of lead time, as the confirmation that the day/time works may take up to a day to come through. This time I put in a request 9:30pm on a Saturday, and got confirmation Sunday evening. (I suspect requests are processed daily). The initial booking request was the largest gap we experienced in communication, scheduling the meet and greet by messages was easy - they were very responsive and want to ensure you and your pup will be comfortable with their set up and go over any special needs of the dog. Our elder pup Rick was drawn to Kushram and the whole family even on the meet and greet (I think just his wife and adult nephew), as well the drop off day of, and they were able to make him comfortable enough to eat even on a short visit. Given our short booking (only about 3 hrs) we can't really comment on long term pictures/communication during the visit, but I can say I feel pretty happy that I found some place local where I feel comfortable leaving my dog when I need to go somewhere. They also have some experience with some dog special needs, but can help best when they know about it ahead of time. They were not concerned or put off in the slightest by our pups needs (mostly that he's pretty clingy, can get cold easily, and only has 3 teeth and will only eat small pieces of food, and doesn't love hanging out with other dogs), and described other dogs they had watched with similar or more challenging needs such as dog-sitting a blind dog in a new space. Thank you for taking good care of our pup!”
“Jeannette and her family are amazing. My dog loves coming to their house. They are gentle and loving, which I appreciate. We've come back several times for boading and daycare.”
“Nadine is such a kind and caring pup sitter! Super accommodating and kept me informed of my pup’s activities throughout the day! She’s definitely going to be a forever companion for my pooch!”
“We are fortunate that we found Asatur close to our house. Pando went for a few days for day care with Asatur, while we had some workers at home. His excitement to go to Asatur's house increased every day, the first day Pando was nervous, by that the last day he was running out of the car and into Asatur's house gate when we were dropping him.”
About: I live in Hercules (East Bay) and only do IN HOME CARE for dogs and sometimes cats. I've found there is less stress if they stay in their own familiar surroundings with your smells; especially if they are blind or deaf or have elderly med needs.. I also give medications and understand senior dog needs. My small Chihuahua SOPHIE comes with me and gets along with everyone. I am semi-retired and will attend to all your instructions, sleep with your baby if that is what is required. I specialize in small dogs but will consider anything, especially if you are in a bind and need someone ASAP. Call me and let's discuss your needs! Thank you. I'm semi-retired and usually available. I am happy to take your dog to dog parks. Sophie and I go on long walks everyday, sometimes twice. We are active. We will follow your schedule. I've great references for in-home care which is all I do now. I also keep the house clean and will do laundry or other needs while I am there. Long or short stays, just let me know what you need. I've background checks that are stellar, never any incident. I am a professional.

“It is our first time using Rover and we chose the right person to take care of our puppy Max. Allora and her family were amazing. She had him for the day and he had the time of his life! They constantly kept us updated with photos and videos and even let him wear an Air Tag to make sure he's safe. We'll definitely let our dog stay over here again!”

About my dog, Mia Five years ago, I rescued Mia from Puerto Rico's "Hurricane Maria". When she came to me, she was frail, frightened, insecure, and scared of people, other dogs, storms, etc. After much rehabilitation, today she is happy, healthy, socially confident and an excellent 'doggie citizen'!
“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!”

If they like pets, cuddles and treats, that's even better!
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I always give them attention, affection, and a calm environment. My goal is to make your pet feel happy and relaxed, just like at home. I had a beloved dog for 11 years who lived with epilepsy, so I have extensive experience caring for a dog with special medical needs. I would be truly happy to provide loving and attentive care for other dogs as well. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I am available every day of the week. I plan my schedule around the pets I care for, making sure they receive consistent attention, walks, feeding, and companionship. I’m flexible and can adjust to your pet’s specific routine and needs. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for whether they stay in my home or I care for them in theirs. At my home, pets have access to a large backyard for supervised play and exercise, along with all the essentials needed for a comfortable stay.
“Archie absolutely adores his Wenxin and her whole family. The second he sees that we are pulling up to her house he starts to pull on his seatbelt. Not so much as a "goodbye" when he darts off to see his friends. We could not be happier to have found her!”
“I have an anxious senior pup who hasn't spent much time apart from my partner and I since adopting him a few months ago (in large part due to his anxiety). I did a pre-meeting with Zoe to make sure it would be a good fit for the pup and then we completed the booking. While my pup still let me know later in the day he was mad I left him, when I picked him up he was happy and bouncing around, but also perfectly happy to go back and hang with her. I think this was the most positive experience possible for Rick and am hopeful the positive experience might help him towards being less anxious when we leave him in the future (every positive experience helps I hope!). I would and will definitely book again with her as long as she's available and accepts him again! Also to note, she was very flexible with our pick up time which I appreciated - I had mentioned I might be able to pick the dog up early, and then when I was able to I messaged her that day and picked him up 3 hours early to hopefully make it easier on Rick. That for sure saved me some time instead of needing to pick him up and hitting rush hour on my way home. She was also very helpful and provided feedback to me on Rick's behavior at my request so I have a good handle on how his anxiety and overall behavior is progressing as we try to work through it. Thanks again Zoe (and Partner!)! I really appreciate y'all.”
About: I’ve always had pets growing up as a child at my grandparents and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years.I’ve been taking care of various pets while their owners are away at work, or on vacation. I’m currently taking clssses online from home and have time to to board during the week/ weekends. This is the perfect time in the summer for me to stay home and pick hobbies. I’ve one dog name Sadie and a back yard to play and have company. Sadie is full of energy and would love to play w another fur babies
About: I grew up as the daughter of a professional dog trainer—my mother—and have carried on her love for all animals. I was taught how to handle reactive, nervous dogs with calm gentle confidence, keep high-energy dogs busy with engaging activities, and give mindful care of dogs that have any special needs. Dogs have been a part of my life since birth, including my 15 year old boy Chunk that is so disarming, he makes an excellent companion for even the most nervous dogs. I’ve gained a broad amount of experience as the go-to enthusiastic dog sitter for all my friends and family’s pets. I would love share a warm, welcoming home with your pet where nightly snuggles on the couch are the norm. I work from home so I can be as available as your dog needs. My partner also is home for most of the day, and only works in the evenings so one of us is almost always home. We live surrounded by trails and parks so your dog will have ample adventures during their stay. Every dog will be treated with the same love and care as if they were our own. We have a large fenced yard that they are free to roam, and a cozy home with dog beds everywhere. We allow dogs on couch and bed, though I can maintain any rules you have in your home for consistency. We do also have a cat so we cannot accept any dogs that are in any way aggressive towards cats or small critters.

“Marlette was available for a very last second walk with my dog. She kept safety and exploration at the top of list in choosing a walk. Not only does she reply quickly, she shows up on time, has a beautiful kindness she emanates, and my dog loves her! Highly recommend!”
“"I couldn't be happier with their service. I was nervous about finding the right walker for my kids pup, but they were incredibly patient and gentle. Fantastic service! They are dependable, trustworthy, and go above and beyond to make sure my dog gets plenty of exercise I will be back in the future”
“What a wonderful person! I was very worried because my son's dog is unruly and wants to eat other dogs. Kyla had the dog walking along as peaceful as can be. She was truely a blessing.”
“I really appreciated Xiao’s patience with my pup today. I have a rescue Chihuahua mix who does not warm up easily to new people. She got him out for two walks today while I had to travel out of town for work. It really put my mind at ease knowing Murphy was in good hands.”
“Thank you so much Adam!! You are simply the best!!! Adam is my go-to every time, and he never disappoints. My dogs love Adam!! I am so happy I found him, and so are my dogs!! Thank you!!!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life. I love animals more than anything and think doing something like this is a perfect fit for me. Im currently mostly free, I don’t start classes up again until spring of next year:) anytime throughout the day/evening just need to know before hand. Just would like clear communication and respect on both ends of course, I’d say I’m pretty understanding and willing to make change if ever needed.
About: I believe every animal deserves patience and love. They tell you what they need when you know what to look for and give them the opportunity to express themselves. I grew up with many pets and have experience caring for all kinds of dogs and cats. I have cared for puppies, senior animals, and everything in between. I'm currently exclusively a pet-sitter and have no pets of my own, so I can give my undivided attention to your animals. When I start part-time classes Monday-Thursday in the fall, I will still be available after class and over the weekends. I maintain a calm environment and provide exercise, play time, and cuddles for every pet. I love walking dogs around their neighborhoods and taking them to the park or the beach. I follow feeding schedules and other care instructions and have experience with crate-training and separation anxiety.
“Val is by far the best sitter on Rover! I have used her multiple times for both dog walking and dog sitting, and she goes above and beyond to make my dogs experience enjoyable, and to make my experience easy and without any worries. I would highly recommend her for everything!”
“I must say, Maikala is truly amazing with my beloved doggie Ellie! Her warm and tender care for my furry baby is beyond words. I am immensely grateful for her kind and loving attention towards Ellie.”
“Patti was great. We met up for a meet and greet before the walk appointment at her discretion. She and my pooch got along really well. She also has some experience with dog training which helped because my pooch pulls a lot when I’m walking him. I saw her techniques and she’s good at what she does. Thx Patti!”
About: I have been in the animal world since 2017 with my first job being at an animal shelter. In 2024 I graduated from a university to earn my bachelor's degree in canine science to further my knowledge and skill. I absolutely love dogs and all animals; I treat them with the same respect I would another person. I specialize in reward based training (positive reinforcement), dog body language, and behavior. Dog training should be fun for you and the dog. Positive reinforcement is the best way to train because it helps build better bonds between the pet parent and the dog, as well as teach important behaviors and discourage and substitute unwanted behaviors. In my care, your dog(s) will be treated as a part of the family. My main goal is to keep your pup(s) happy, calm, exercised; this should feel like their home away from home. I currently am working home full time for the business, from dog training to grooming to walking to daycare & boarding, we are here for you! There will always be someone here to keep an eye on your pup(s), when I leave my partner is here to help out. We are open everyday. The pups are always treated like my own. When staying over, they keep company with me and my dogs. We are always watching the dogs and making sure they are safe and comfortable. If I am going to your place I will always treat your place with respect.
About: I have taken care of my family’s animals when they were out of town. The breeds I have worked with include German Shepherd, huskies, Chihuahua, Carolina dog, and Scottish Terrier. I’m currently working part-time. My schedule is flexible. I can adjust my schedule to meet your needs. Your pets will be in good hands. I have a fence yard and make sure my pets are up to date with their recommended shots. I have tended dog training sessions at pet smart. My dogs are pet friendly.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities for 15 years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, play with, and care for their pets while away. I’m patient, attentive, active, and genuinely love animals. I understand the importance of making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I love taking dogs on hikes and to the beach as well. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week and on weekends.

About: Hi, my name is Luis, and I provide dependable, attentive, and high-quality pet care through rover. Caring for dogs has always been a true passion of mine, and I take pride in creating a safe, structured, and enriching experience for every dog in my care. As a fitness professional and part-time personal trainer who works primarily from home, I’m able to dedicate consistent time, supervision, and personalized attention to the pets I care for throughout the day. My active lifestyle allows me to provide dogs with the exercise, engagement, and companionship they need to feel balanced, relaxed, and happy. I focus on creating a calm and positive environment while reinforcing good habits such as loose-leash walking, recall, and attentiveness during walks and daily routines. Every dog receives patient care tailored to their personality, energy level, and comfort needs. I understand how important communication and trust are when someone else is caring for your pet. That’s why I provide regular photo and video updates so you can feel confident, informed, and at ease while your dog is with me. My home offers a comfortable and welcoming setting with a fully fenced yard and access to beautiful nearby walking areas, including Refugio Valley Park and surrounding trails just minutes away. Daily walks, outdoor time, play, and companionship are all part of the experience your dog will enjoy here. While staying with us, your pet will be treated like family and welcomed as part of our pack with plenty of affection, attention, structure, and care. Please feel free to share any routines, preferences, special instructions, or favorite activities your dog enjoys so I can provide the most comfortable and personalized experience possible. I look forward to meeting you and your pup and providing a level of care you can truly feel confident in. I work from home most of the time with most days full-time at home. , which allows me to provide attentive, personalized care throughout the day. Pets staying with me enjoy multiple daily walks and outdoor exercise sessions tailored to their energy level and needs. They will also have the companionship of my two friendly dogs, Lumi and Sago, providing both social interaction and play opportunities in a safe, supervised environment. Whether your pet enjoys active play or simply relaxing with company, they will receive plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment during their stay. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I live in a beautiful, quiet, and safe neighborhood with a fully fenced yard where your pet can enjoy supervised outdoor time, potty breaks, play sessions, and relaxing in the sunshine whenever they choose. We are also fortunate to have scenic paved hiking trails and a park just a few minutes away, which I regularly use for walks and exercise with my own dogs. Whether your pet enjoys leisurely strolls or more active outings, I can tailor their activities to their individual needs and energy level. To help your pet feel completely at home, I encourage you to share any special preferences, routines, favorite activities, or unique needs they may have. Maintaining consistency with their daily schedule helps create a comfortable, stress-free experience and allows them to settle in as if they were in their own home.

“I'm very glad that we met Jenna and she is giving Violet walks on a regular basis. Jenna is very accountable and trust worthy. She is calm and understanding with my often anxious dog. And this week she responded to a last minute request for a walk... I appreciate the level of flexibility and quick responses that she provides.”
About: I live in Hercules (East Bay) and only do IN HOME CARE for dogs and sometimes cats. I've found there is less stress if they stay in their own familiar surroundings with your smells; especially if they are blind or deaf or have elderly med needs.. I also give medications and understand senior dog needs. My small Chihuahua SOPHIE comes with me and gets along with everyone. I am semi-retired and will attend to all your instructions, sleep with your baby if that is what is required. I specialize in small dogs but will consider anything, especially if you are in a bind and need someone ASAP. Call me and let's discuss your needs! Thank you. I'm semi-retired and usually available. I am happy to take your dog to dog parks. Sophie and I go on long walks everyday, sometimes twice. We are active. We will follow your schedule. I've great references for in-home care which is all I do now. I also keep the house clean and will do laundry or other needs while I am there. Long or short stays, just let me know what you need. I've background checks that are stellar, never any incident. I am a professional.

“Jeanette was fantastic! She shared pictures every day and was extra attentive with my shy and nervous pup. Her home was a great place for boarding with space for my dog to explore indoors and outdoors and she could play with other dogs if she liked or could have her own space separated away from the others. Definitely recommend Jeanette’s care!”
“I am so grateful to have found Ikeena here. My dog has anxiety and Ikeena immediately put him at ease and took great care of him. She asked thoughtful/caring questions since my dog has some special needs. She took my dog on hikes/walks in the park and took excellent care of him. She sent videos and photos too.”
“Ross took such great care of Joey! He clearly is such a dog person who could intuitively figure out all of Joey’s quirks. Joey had a great stay and is probably already looking forward to his next stay with Ross!”
About: I have over 10 years of pet boarding experience. In my home are 2 cats, 1 pug and 1 turtle. My babies love when we have guests and truly enjoy the company as much as I do. I work great hours and not too long which leaves me with plenty of play time and 2 long walks a day. I spend most of my time at home which gives us plenty of quality time to hangout. There is a large patio on the second floor for sunbathing during the day while looking at a great view of the water. As well as 2 cats, 1 pug and a turtle who love company and everyone is free to roam the whole house but they do have their own fur baby room for space if they like.
“Louis watched our dog for multiple days over Thanksgiving week, and was absolutely amazing. He gave super prompt communication and is very knowledgeable. We felt at ease during our trip knowing our dog was in good hands. Highly recommend Louis if you are in need of a great dog sitter!”
“Had an absolutely amazing experience having Amanda and Michell watch our Lucy. We’d never left a pet with strangers before, and they couldn’t have made the process more comfortable. Amanda sent daily photos and a brief note on what they did that day. Lucy got to go on many long walks and hikes, and really became part of their family. At the end of her stay, we received a report card on Lucy’s behavior, which was the cutest thing ever. Without hesitation, I’d use Amanda and Michell again, and highly recommend them to anyone needing a pet sitter.”
“Rita was amazing with Purdy! They played with her and gave her all the attention Purdy wanted. Purdy was excited to come home but is definitely missing being with Rita. It was my first time using Rover and will definitely use it again solely because of Rita. Thanks Rita for taking good care of our Purdy.”
“Maria and Kevan are wonderful!! They made our dog feel at home and I love all the photo updates I get from them. They’re very sweet and kind and I would definitely recommend them to any pup.”
“I can't find the words to express how grateful I am for the loving, attentive care you provided to my senior fur baby, Izzy. Thank you for the daily updates and photos that gave me complete peace of mind while we were away. Izzy clearly enjoyed her stay, and I knew she was in the best hands. Gayane, you are truly amazing. I'm forever thankful to have found you, and am hopeful this is just the beginning of many wonderful stays to come.”

“Such a great first dog sitting experience. Jonathan has such a calm and loving personality he was a perfect 4th of July dog sitter for my pup who can really struggle with fireworks. Very attentive sent photos daily of walks I will definitely reach out again and hope he is available”
“Stefanile is a great sitter. She was incredibly accommodating and patient in dealing with my dog—a rather shy, introverted, and somewhat challenging dog. Given her deep understanding of canine personalities and traits, as well as her extensive experience as a sitter, I was able to entrust Chaco to her care with peace of mind. She sent updates and photos, making communication very easy. Thank you!”
“Murphy had such a great time with Luciana and Rob!! They took him on amazing walks and hikes and send lots of pictures and updates. They made him feel right at home!! It made us feel so relieved!!”
“Cat is wonderful. After her second stay I wasn't sure Molly, our dog, even wanted to come home with us. Cat really puts effort into treating your dog as one of her own. Great photo updates as well. She has become our goto sitter.”
