“My husky did an over night stay while we went out of town for a wedding. Sounds like she had a blast! Tracey and her husband took great care of her and listened to some small requests that I made. We definitely love bringing her here because she is well cared for and we know she will be safe and trust them. Thank you Tracey!”
“Petra and her family treated my two Labs as if they were part of the family for the five days of their stay. I was able to enjoy my trip knowing they were in loving care with frequent pic and video updates.”
“Kimberley was a really good dog sitter. She made sure we got pictures of our dog on time. Even when we were in no network zone she made sure we got the pictures. I m sure Bruno enjoyed staying at hers!”
“Very good communication, loved the room for my kitty! There was lots of room to explore, a big window with a new screen, and even a TV running nature shows. She interacted with my cat every day and I loved her pics. 10/10, will contact again for my next trip. :D”
“Jen was awesome with my dog Jack, she took great care of him and she sent pictures and videos everyday and walked him regularly. Will definitely recommend her for anyone who need a dog sitter.”
“Brian has taken care of Brownie for us twice, and he has been amazing both times. Our flight was unexpectedly canceled, and Brian was incredibly understanding and flexible with our changing plans. He truly cares about the pets he watches and gave us complete peace of mind. A real lifesaver. We highly recommend him and will definitely use him again. Thank you Brian, and your family.”
“Julie was amazing.Our first time using Rover and 100% would book her again. She sent pictures and updates frequently and I think Oreo would have chosen to stay longer if he had the option.”
“My husky, Koda, had a fantastic time with Valentina & Stephen and their dog Luke. He ran and played in their gigantic, beautiful yard, got lots of attention and cuddles and was taken to the park and restaurants with them. They took excellent care of Koda I can't recommend Val and Stephen more highly. I've already booked another stay for Koda!”
“Quick to respond, very communicative. Mango had a great time with her. She lives close to a vet hospital, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Overall excellent experience!”
“Amber took great care of our high energy puppy while we were gone for the weekend - she gave her plenty of playtime outside in her yard. She was very timely and professional with her communication and sent lots of pictures! We will definitely be using Amber for our pet care in the future!”
“Jung Eun and her partner were great with our dog Clyde! Clyde is a rescue and naturally very anxious and shy. However, he felt totally comfortable with Jung Eun and even snuggled with her, which is a big deal as he has a hard time opening up to new people. We did a meet n greet first, and then this trial overnight as we’ll be out of the country for 3 weeks. Thank you to Jung Eun for all the photos and videos - they definitely made me feel at ease, knowing Clyde was in good hands. He looks forward to seeing you soon :)”
“It was a great experience for my three boys. They came home happy and well exercised. We will be booking with them from now on. The communication was quick and we received lots of cute pictures.”
“Sabrina, was a great dog sitter for my dog. She knew the right things to do making my dog happy during her walks and taking care of her with extra care during her stay in her home.”
“Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my Skai. Our pet was happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout. Saloni gave us daily updates and photos which was reassuring to know that he was in safe and loving hands. We would not hesitate to use Saloni’s services again and highly recommend you to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
“This was our first time using a dog-sitter and Pissamas was great! She sent pictures and gave us updates while we were away and overall she's just a very nice person. I'm so glad we found a dog-sitter for Joy and we'll definitely use her services moving forward.”

Based on the pictures, I can tell she really took her time with my cat and gave her lots of attention. Definitley would recommend and I'll be booking her in the future ?”

About: I have taken care of small dogs and big dogs. I have owned 2 German Shepherd dogs and a Pug over the last 15 years. I have been a sitter and a walker for family and friends. Our pug lived to 16 years old and was blind and deaf. I make my 2 year old German Shepherds food for her because of diet restrictions. I will treat your dog like my own. I will show them love, and attention they deserve. If your dog needs a walk to get that energy out, I would love to be the one to take your dog to play. I am retired, so my schedule is open. All I ask is for a day or so advance on scheduling. I love walking my dog and getting her energy out. If you have a high energy dog that needs walks, or any dog that enjoys the outdoors, I would love to be your choice. I will come to your home to walk your dog, feed them, let them have a potty break, or just to visit. Whatever your needs are, I will do my best to fulfill those needs
“This was my first time using Rover and I am glad we asked Merryn to watch our kitties!

Merryn was an excellent communicator and I loved receiving the photo updates along the way.”

“Thankful for Tracey taking care of our dog as we spent a day in Gilroy Gardens. She was gracious to update us with a text and pictures. Would book again in the future if in area.”
“Stasha was absolutely wonderful with our dogs, Elora and Jasper. We had a big party to host, and knowing they were in her care gave us so much peace of mind. It honestly allowed us to enjoy the day instead of worrying about the pups. From the start, Stasha was warm, communicative, and incredibly reassuring. She sent us updates and photos throughout the day, which meant so much and made it clear our pups were happy and in great hands. You can tell she genuinely loves dogs and treats them with so much care and attention. Elora and Jasper came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for, which says everything. We felt completely safe trusting Stasha with them, and that kind of trust is huge. If you’re looking for someone reliable, kind, and truly invested in caring for your dogs, I cannot recommend Stasha enough. She made it possible for us to host our party without a single worry, and that was priceless. We would absolutely book with her again in a heartbeat. 🐾”

Jennifer makes the whole process so easy and is great at communicating needs, updates, and photos.

“Lady is a small needy sweet dog and she gets sad when left alone. Jen and her family are absolutely the best, and Lady feels right at home. I get great updates from Jen throughout the day and I know she is well taken care of and she has fun. I'm so glad I found Jen, thanks to her care I can work without worrying about Lady being home alone.”
About: As a lifelong dog lover, I’ve been caring for dogs since childhood, growing up with Labrador Retrievers and learning firsthand the importance of patience, consistency, and affection. Over the years, I’ve helped whelp litters, fostered rescue dogs (including one who became a beloved member of our family), and cared for dogs of all ages and temperaments. My home is peaceful and dog-friendly, shared with my sweet mixed-breed dog, Prema, and features a large, securely fenced yard for safe play and exploration. Daily walks, plenty of attention, and a calm, nurturing environment ensure that every dog in my care feels comfortable, loved, and right at home. I’m currently working from home, part-time, and teaching yoga at a nearby gym a couple of days a week, so your sweet pet would rarely be home on their own. My single-story home has a large, fenced yard where your dog can roam freely to play, take a sunbath, or chase butterflies. My 32 lb dog, Prema, will keep your dog company on daily walks and at home. The home has a doggie door, so your dog is free to roam in the house and outside. The doggie door is locked at night. Ideally, you would supply you dog’s favorite bed (although we have extras) a collar and leash, and preferred food with instructions on feeding timing, amount, etc. I want your pet to feel happy, safe, and have fun while here. 🦮
About: I have a 5 year experience of taking care of a dog I know how to bathed them feed them and play with them without any problems I’m currently working part-time so I’ll be having plenty of time to play with your pups and to go to the park with my dog I don’t have a fenced yard for your dog but I do have a friendly dog and a bunny that would keep your fur baby company and have many play time

Also I have taken care of my family friends farm with all kinds of animals for days on end including walking, feeding, letting them out and in, etc. I also just love animals and love taking care of them! I work part time but normally only 4 hour shifts so i’m very flexible and can visit your animals multiple times throughout the day as well as working. I also only work around 3 days a week so i’m very available for the most part! In my home my dad has a service dog who is very well trained and also has a crate your pup could go in. We also have 2 older dogs with a fenced in outdoor area for them and a doggy door that gives them free access if going inside and out.

“Susan was amazing! I had a last minute cancellation from my typical dog walker and was scrambling to find someone available to walk Theo. Susan quickly agreed. I didn’t have a spare key readily available so I arranged for Susan to go to the leasing office to retrieve a key. She did so without hesitation and was able to take my boy for his walk. I highly recommend Susan and will definitely use her for our dog walking needs again!”

“We feel incredibly lucky to have found Willow and Tina as our dog walkers. They are attentive, friendly, and truly understanding of what both we and our dog need. From the very beginning, they communicated with us so clearly and consistently, taking the time to really understand our instructions and preferences. It’s clear they genuinely care, and that level of attention gave us confidence right away. Since we live in an apartment, there are a few extra steps and details involved for walks, but they were more than happy to go through everything with us and make sure it all worked smoothly. They were patient, flexible, and always willing to do what it takes to make things easier for everyone. When they first met our dog, he loved them instantly, which meant so much to us. It’s not always easy to trust new people with your pet, but they made that transition feel effortless. From day one, they made our dog feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. When we both started jobs that required us to be back in the office, we were really worried about leaving our dog home alone for long periods of time. Willow and Tina completely took that stress away. They stepped in with so much care and professionalism, and now we don’t worry at all knowing our dog is in such good hands. They’ve also gone above and beyond in moments that really mattered. When our dog was sick, they took such thoughtful care of him and kept me updated throughout the day. Getting those updates while I was at work was incredibly comforting and reassuring. Our trust in them has grown so much over time, and we feel genuinely relieved and grateful every single day. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing our dog is not only being looked after, but truly cared for. Our family is so lucky to have found Willow and Tina, and we couldn’t recommend them more.”
“I can’t recommend her enough! She is incredibly sweet, reliable, and genuinely cares about Coco’s happiness and well-being. She always arrives on time and goes above and beyond to make him feel comfortable and loved. Coco is always so happy after their walks, and that says everything. Im so grateful to have her!”

“Holly took wonderful care of my German Shepherd, Nicolai, for the week. She kept me updated every day with pictures and details of their walking routes, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Nicolai looked incredibly happy and well cared for in every update. It’s clear Holly genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog walker! I look forward to rebooking Holly in the very near future. Hugs I appreciate you.”

“Courtney helped us out and walked our dog Hazel. She was great, she gave us a heads-up when she was on her way and took Hazel for a good walk. Thanks Courtney! Will contact you again for sure. :)”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember and have grown up with them my whole life. I’ve raised my own pup since he was just 8 weeks old, so I understand the attention, patience, and love dogs need at every stage. I work fully remote with a flexible schedule, so I’m home most of the day and can easily plan around your dog’s needs. Morning and evening walks are part of my routine, but I can adjust to match your dog’s usual schedule. Whether your pup needs extra walks, playtime, or quiet downtime, I’m here to make sure they get the care and attention they deserve. Your dog’s safety is my top priority. I live in a secure townhouse in a quiet neighborhood, and all walks take place on leash in safe areas or nearby parks. I supervise your dog at all times while they’re in my care, whether we’re playing, walking, or relaxing at home.
About: Over 20 years as a dog owner. I'm semi-retired. I've been watching friends' and friends of friends' pets for years. I've been the only house/dog sitter for a pair of Dalmatians for the last 5 years. I've handled puppies that are still working on becoming housebroken as well as senior dogs that need regular medication and extra care. I do in-home tech support/ IT work. When a customer's animals have warmed up to me, I've been asked if I did pet sitting as well. It feels good when the pet picks you. My working schedule is very flexible, I'm usuably able to adjust it to make sure I'm available to see to your pet's needs. If I commit to caring for your critters they will be my scheduling priority. I don't have pets in my own home. When house/pet sitting, besides feeding, walking and picking up after the pets I'm capable of handling household issues that might come up.
About: I’ve owned dogs for over 10 years and currently have 3 of my own. Over the years I’ve become experienced in caring for dogs with special needs. I love that I can be that voice for them. I currently work Sun-Wed but available if you need a weekend off or you even just need a day to run errands. I’ll be glad to take care of your pet. I have a fenced yard as well as crates if needed. I do have 3 other dogs that just chill all day which one has special needs. There is also an influx of toys that they can choose from.

I focus on keeping a consistent routine based on your pet’s needs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I always prioritize safety, cleanliness, and clear communication. I send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy while you’re away. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and active environment—so your pet feels at home.
“My husky did an over night stay while we went out of town for a wedding. Sounds like she had a blast! Tracey and her husband took great care of her and listened to some small requests that I made. We definitely love bringing her here because she is well cared for and we know she will be safe and trust them. Thank you Tracey!”
“Petra and her family treated my two Labs as if they were part of the family for the five days of their stay. I was able to enjoy my trip knowing they were in loving care with frequent pic and video updates.”
“My husky, Koda, had a fantastic time with Valentina & Stephen and their dog Luke. He ran and played in their gigantic, beautiful yard, got lots of attention and cuddles and was taken to the park and restaurants with them. They took excellent care of Koda I can't recommend Val and Stephen more highly. I've already booked another stay for Koda!”

“Son, her husband and children did a wonderful job looking after PENNY. As soon as I met the family, I knew she was in good hands. They gave her an immense amount of love and attention. She went on adventures with them throughout the Bay Area and coastal regions. She had so much fun that it was like sending a 12 year old to summer camp! I would highly recommend Son and her family to take care of your little dog or a big dog when the time comes. They are also my friends now.”
“Shirley is amazing. My dog has stayed with her on several occasions and I feel very comfortable with Shirleys care. She’s very responsive to messages, she sends updates and pictures. I never worry with my lil furry one here. I highly recommend Shirley!”
“We had a wonderful experience with our dog sitter, Marium, while she cared for our dog Maverick for three nights. From the start, communication was great and it was clear that Maverick was in very capable and caring hands. Marium made sure he was comfortable, well-exercised, and given plenty of attention and affection. One thing we especially appreciated was how well she handled Maverick on walks. He can sometimes show aggression toward other dogs, but Marium was very patient, attentive, and confident managing those situations. It was clear she understood how to keep him calm and safe, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. We also loved receiving updates and photos while we were away. It was obvious that Maverick felt relaxed and happy in her care. When we picked him up, he was calm, well cared for, and clearly had a positive stay. We are very grateful for the kindness, patience, and responsibility Marium showed while watching Maverick. We would absolutely trust her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
“Sepia was very kind and generous to Bruno. She took great care of him and pampered him. She gave regular updates via messages, photos and videos. We were very happy with her and would highly recommend. Thanks Sepia!”

“Anto is an absolute best person. She loves dogs and keeps them just like her own, that’s all you expect from someone you’re leaving your pet to. She gave me timely updates, was accommodating with Alfys habits and provided the right kind of play and exercise. I would definitely recommend her.”

He has been absolutely wonderful to work with ,Vince put our nerves at ease (being that it was the first time our puppy had been watched outside of our home and by a new person.) he was in constant contact with us, sent pictures and ,exercised him. Zeus has been living his best life. Will definitely being using him again.”
