“Achara was great and eased my mind about leaving my puppy for the first time. Responded very quickly every time! Send pictured and updated throughout his stay. My guy is very high energy and after I picked him up he slept for hours! He definitely enjoyed having his own backyard to tire himself out. Definitely recommend Achara for all your pet needs!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Martha May while she boarded our dog, Loki. From the moment we connected, Martha was caring, kind, and incredibly communicative throughout his stay. She provided regular updates and thoughtful feedback, which gave us peace of mind and helped us better understand Loki's needs for future boarding visits. It was clear that Martha May genuinely cared about Loki's comfort and well-being, and he was well cared for during his time with her. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and willingness to share helpful observations made the experience exceptional. I highly recommend Martha May to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter. We would be happy to book with her again in the future!”
“My dog had a fantastic stay here! Roy took such good care of my dog, He managed meds for an unexpected illness and provided plenty of walks and cuddles. My dog came home happy. Roy is very friendly and flexible and I would highly recommend him.”
“Danielle was so good with my baby and VERY patient. She has lots of her own babies to play with which was nice as well. She was very communicative and I felt comfortable with all of her updates. I would definitely use her again!”
“Grisel was great! We got pics of every mea/walk/ play time and our dog seemed to love every minute of it! We’ll definitely be booking with Grisel again. Thank you!!”
“Michael was awesome! He sent multiple picture updates throughout Stella's stay. It was so nice to know that she was getting individualized care, and he seemed to be showering her with attention (which she absolutely loves). We ended up booking with Michael because our usual (and much closer) Rover boarder was unavailable, but we would love to book with him again in the future!”
“Reginay was awesome! Our original rover cancelled last minute and Reginay was able to board nala during our 11 day cruise. She was extremely responsive and caring and was understanding when we arrived late. We will definitely be working with her again.”
“We were so pleased with our experience working with Jennifer! Our dog came back so happy and we could tell she was definitely well taken care of and loved! We were nervous to leave our dog over NYE with all of the fireworks but Jennifer did an excellent job of helping her to feel comfortable. She also provided great daily updates. So happy to have found her and will definitely look to her again for future stays.”
“Patty did great with our Molly, who is a bit of a diva and still working on her social skills. She kept us updated on all her fun and her accomplishments. It felt like going to Auntie's house!”
“Matt and his crew were incredible! We got multiple daily updates with photos and videos. Our dogs tend to have separation anxiety, and we were worried about how they would do away from home. But they did great, all thanks to the great care Matt provided. Our dogs also got along great with Kobe, and were constantly playing and having fun. We would highly recommend Matt as a sitter, as he was very attentive and accommodating. We will definitely be using Matt as a sitter again in the future!”
“Kazue was amazing! We left for a 7 day cruise with limited access to our phones. It was nice to come back to our phone with lots of pictures and updates about Potato. Being away from our dog for over a week, we knew he was in great care. Thank you!!”
“Annie was truly a blessing while we were away. She treated my dogs Chip and Bengi like her own and showed so much patience and kindness. She was extremely understanding, dependable, and made the whole process stress free for us. It’s not easy trusting someone with your baby, but Annie made it feel so comfortable. We are beyond thankful for her! 💖💖🥹”
“Alexandra did an amazing job looking after Mila for over 2 weeks. She responded quickly and provided regular updates with photos and videos. Mila came back cleaner and better groomed than we had dropped her off.”

“I really appreciated Jared. He sent tons of pics of my furry little family member. Love it. Kylie. I know enjoyed her stay with Jared. I so look forward to utilizing Jared again”
“We needed a last minute dog sitter for our labradoodle Brooke. Grace was very responsive and we are glad we found her as a new sitter. She sent daily updates and pictures, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Our dog had a great time going on walks and looked happy and well cared for. We will definitely book with Grace again!”
“Becky did an amazing job watching our Husky, Cleo. She constantly kept us updated on how Cleo was doing and sent a ton of pictures throughout the stay. I would definitely recommend her for dog sitting!”

“We’re so grateful to Kelcya “Kacey” & Elizabeth B.! They took such sweet care of our kitten while we were away—making sure his food and water bowls were full, his litter box was clean, and most importantly, giving him plenty of love and playtime. He was clearly well cared for! Thank you both so much! 💛🐾”
About: I absolutely love cats and have had two of my own. My first, Stormy, was a mid-age rescue cat who lived for about 7 years with me before she passed. Stormy had renal disease so I am familiar with all of the treatments and IV’s necessary if your cat is in need of any type of extra loving! I currently have an (almost) two year old, Poppy, and boy are kittens something else! I would love to care for cat(s) whenever you need!
“Natalie is awesome. Kolby love’s Natalie and I actually think he was upset it was me coming home and not Natalie visiting 😂 I love that I trust Natalie enough to go hiking in the back country without cell service because she would take care of him 100%.”
“Elizabeth (Liz) did an awesome job! She was more than sweet and in love with my cat. Which is what we all love, when our pets are loved by the sitter. She kept my house very tidy, meds given, food area clean, etc”
“Holly did a wonderful job keeping us updated on our furry kids. Everyone was very happy when we got back. We would definitely have Holly watch our kids again!”
“Michelle is great with our cats, including when we had a cat with special health needs. She is very reliable and checks all the boxes. We've booked her services before and would book her again, which is probably the most important thing.”
“Jenna was amazing! Super responsive and kept me updated while she cared for my kitty! She’s a cat whisperer btw lol, my cat is normally very scared of new people but she happily greeted Jenna on the first visit. Definitely recommend to others!”
“My Diego has totally fallen in love with Carrie, I can tell by the pictures! It means so much to have someone go the extra mile and hang out with him while we are gone. Thank you, Carrie!”
“Jordan was super accommodating and flexible especially given the quick turnaround time of the request. Definitely book him if you're in need of some quality time spent with your pets!”
“Andrea did a great job with our kitties! Usually the apartment is smelly from their wet food after a trip but this time, no smell! She let them out for balcony time which is pretty much their favorite activity during the warm months. Pic updates were awesome too!”
“Michelle continues to be so awesome. We really appreciated the clear communication, regular updates and very sweet photos. We’ll look to rebook with Michelle the next time we’re out of town!”
“Jazmine took great care of my cat last minute while I was away. She’s very responsive and communicates clearly and I appreciated the notes left when my cat hid from her the entire time so pictures weren’t an option. World definitely rebook Jazmine next time I need a pet sitter.”
“Danielle is always great with our cat Greg! Always brushes his teeth makes sure he’s got lots of food and keeps his litter box clean! She also always stays the full amount of time for his drop ins so you know your pet is getting lots of play and love while she’s there. Thanks Danielle!!”
About: I have had dogs and cats as pets since I was young and I have always built strong bonds with them based on trust, consistency, and calm. I have helped friends and neighbors with caring for their pets since I was young. That includes dogs both large and small, cats, a salamander, a parakeet, a turtle, and a toad. I currently have two cats, Doce and Harmony, and a chihuahua/Italian Greyhound mix named Brixton. I am familiar and comfortable with providing structure and following through with any and all special needs your pet may have, including strict feeding and walking schedules, medications, bedtimes, etc. I would love to meet you and your pets to help to support you in any way I can.
About: I have taken care of cats since I was 8 years old. From volunteering at animal shelters, family and friend’s cats to cats of my own. I have experience with bottle baby kittens, and sick senior kitties with everything in between. I currently have a 3 year old muted tortoiseshell cat who is my whole world. She is spunky and a joy to have.

“Wunna was amazing! The moment our dog, Shadow, met him, they got along and Shadow trusted him immediately. He was flexible and accommodating of our schedule. He responded to our messages quickly too, which we really appreciated.”
“Heath Bar didn’t make it easy - he barked the entire time at Danielle’s unless she was there with him, I k ew he had separation anxiety but the only time it presented for the last several years was while he was alone in the car. His being alone in the house was not a problem for him. My take away is to be certain someone will be at home with him for most of the time he will be in someone else’s care. Danielle was very responsive and kept me informed the day Heath was in her care.”
“Grace was wonderful! She was able to watch Indy on short notice while we spent the day exploring Sacramento, and she took great care of him. She made sure he got plenty of exercise and attention, and it was clear he had a great time with her. It gave us peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. We’d happily book with Grace again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
About: • Experience with puppies and high-energy breeds • Potty training consistency and routine building • Comfortable with small to medium dogs • Can follow feeding schedules and medication instructions • Skilled with leash walking and structured outdoor time • Familiar with dog park etiquette and socialization Pet care is part of my daily routine, not an afterthought. I structure my schedule around the dogs in my care to ensure they receive consistent attention, exercise, and supervision throughout the day. On a typical day, dogs can expect: • Morning potty break and walk • Structured playtime and enrichment • Supervised social time if comfortable with other dogs • Midday check-ins and affection • Afternoon rest and downtime • Evening walk and wind-down routine
“Tanisha was fantastic with my dog Morty. My dog is reactive and nervous around new dogs, and she was willing to do whatever it takes to make sure he would feel comfortable with her and her dog. We did a meet and greet, followed by a test overnight board and test daycare. It was incredible to see how well my dog settled in with her. You can tell she cares a lot about the dogs she watches. I got a lot of pictures and videos of my dog while he was with Tanisha (more than I've ever gotten from a sitter). I highly recommend Tanisha!”
“We had a phenomenal experience using Roy as our pet sitter for Sadie. She is a special-needs dog who doesn’t do well around other dogs, has very high energy, and requires careful handling. Because of that, we take the decision of who cares for her very seriously. Roy exceeded our expectations. He was attentive, punctual, prepared, and extremely confident working with a high-energy dog. He was already familiar with the neighborhood and aware of the other dogs in the area, which gave us additional peace of mind. He followed instructions carefully and demonstrated excellent judgment throughout his time with Sadie. Most importantly, Sadie absolutely loved Roy. She had a fantastic time, and ever since she’s come home, she hasn’t stopped smiling. It’s rare to find someone who can connect so well with a dog that has unique needs. We are incredibly grateful to have found such a wonderful dog sitter in the Sacramento area. I highly recommend Roy to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and capable to care for their dog—especially if they have a high-energy or special-needs dog. 5/5 stars. Roy provided exceptional care, and we wouldn’t hesitate to trust him with Sadie again.”
“Becky is the best dog sitter ever. She takes such good care of my dog Charlie, she’s very reliable and the best dog photographer. I know my dog is safe and happy when he’s with her. Thank you again!”
“Teddy had a great afternoon and evening. Communication was very quick and I love getting updates and photos. He had a great night and slept well when he got home. I will definitely use her again when we are back in the area thank you so much.”
About: I may not have dogs of my own but I sure do love being around them. Before moving I use to volunteer at an animal shelter and I loved it there just to see how dogs were able to have at least a couple of minutes of happiness from pups to seniors. I also foster kitties and have two of my own! I am currently attending nursing school, so can’t fit a full time job into my schedule. This is the best option because it’s something I love and I can still complete my studies! I would first build trust with the animal ensuring they are not frightened by me. Aside from that I love for the owners to tell me more about their pet to allow me to best adjust my skills to accommodate the pet.
About: Hi! My name is chynna (China), I know life can be expensive and I know my rates are higher. However please send me a message and I am willing to work with any budget! :) I've grown up with dogs my whole life, I work currently as a barber which gives me the flexibility to enjoy daily walks and cuddles with your furry friends. I come from a loving family who has always had a soft spot for dogs in our lives. There isn't a day I can't remember not having a pup. I reallly hope that I can look after your pup for you! I can guarantee you that your puppy is in great hands! I currently work part time and have more then enough time to watch and love on your animals. I have been doing so for the past 10 years and would love to help your loved one feel cozy when you are away! I have a fenced in patio, a close by dog park, and huge water bowls. If you would like your dog crated please provide a crate!
“It’s been 6 months last time my fur-child visited Martha. His reacquaintance with Martha & her family went smoothly! I received a comforting video of him playing with Misty and pictures during his stay. Happy to have found Martha!!”
About: I love animals which includes pets! I come from a home that has two of the sweetest pitbulls. Moving out I of course got a cat, and she does well with dogs! I also watch my family member’s dogs at my home and they do excellent with her. Each pet is unique in their quirks and what makes this gig especially fun in figuring out what is it. Hire me to give your pet the care they deserve. I currently only work a part time job for 2 days out the week from 11-4pm. However my partner works full time at home and is my helper in this! We have the same values about pets and will ensure amazing care. Big living room area with tons of space to be in and rooms. Closed doors for alone time but most importantly front door with access to street closed off.
“This was Mitzi’s first time staying with Matt, and it went really well. She was a little nervous at first, but Matt was patient and made her feel comfortable. He communicated regularly and sent photo updates, which I really appreciated. By the end of the stay, she seemed relaxed and happy. I’d definitely book with Matt again. Thanks for taking such great care of Mitzi!”
“My puppy Theo had the best time with Alexis and Inzo! She took such great care of him and spoiled him with lots of walks and love. Theo is always excited to see her and Inzo when we drop him off for daycare 😊 highly recommend!”
“Manuel is wonderful!! He took our dog Chunk in for a couple days of doggy daycare and the experience could not have been better. Not only did he have a great setup, he is responsive, sent photo updates, and genuinely cared about my dog being comfortable and happy!”
“I found Marcie on Rover and she responded quickly on such short notice. I contacted her on a Friday and she was able to accommodate our pit bull Jada the next day. Marcie was courteous enough to provide photos of Jada while at the dog park. Jada looked like she enjoyed her time with Marcie. We look forward to using Marcie again in the future.”
“Thank you Jackie for taking care of our little tee cup chihuahua for the day!! From start to finish the booking was easy and we felt our dog was in great hands. Jackie sent us pictures through out the day, was professional and very easy to communicate with. Would definitely use her again if ever in the area. Thank you!!”

“Andrea has been walking my dog Jack for a a couple of weeks now and he has been so happy with her! He is skiddish and shy, but has taken very well to Andrea, which I think speaks well of her! They walk during lunch and he is so much more calmer in the afternoons and when I get home. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: Hi!! I’m Grace! Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up with both dogs and cats and can’t imagine a home without them. I currently have a two-year-old Border Collie named Cosmo, who absolutely loves making new friends and playing with dogs of all sizes and personalities. Being a dog mom myself, I know how much our pets mean to us, and I promise to provide the same love, care, attention, and affection that I would want for my own pup. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, happy, and at ease while you’re apart. 🐾 💕 I am currently dog walking in midtown and downtown area during the weekdays so let me know if your fur baby needs to be let out while you are working!! I either walk for 40 min-hour or get some play time in at park! I am a student and am off for the summer, so I have lots of time to spend with furry friends! I am so excited for our furry friends to meet and spend quality time together! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving environment where pets can feel at home while you’re away. I live in downtown Sacramento just a short walk from a park, so your pup will have plenty of opportunities for walks, exercise, fresh air, and playtime. I always follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions. I understand that every pet is unique, so I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll also send regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind while your furry family member is in my care.
About: I have loved and cared for dogs for many years, but my real training started with my own dog Haku. He has taught me patience, routine, and how to understand different dog personalities. I am used to daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and making sure dogs feel safe and comfortable. Haku is friendly with children, other dogs, and cats, so I understand the importance of proper introductions and calm environments. Every dog has their own personality, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know what makes each one unique. I work from home, so I get to spend most of my day around dogs. I’m available for boarding on weekends and flexible during weekdays. Your pup will have company, regular walks, and a steady routine instead of being left alone all day. Dogs can sense calm energy, and I bring that into my home. I keep things structured but relaxed. I respect each dog’s personality and never force interactions. Haku runs quality control and makes sure every guest feels welcome.
“Natalie was great! She has great energy, handled my strong and enthusiastic dog expertly and patiently. She is an excellent communicator and my dog thinks she is awesome!”
About: Animals have been the heart of my home for as long as I can remember—I’ve grown up surrounded by the love of both dogs and cats my entire life! That lifelong bond inspired me to become a professional dog groomer, meaning I bring a deep understanding of dog behavior, gentle handling, and professional health awareness to every pet I meet. Above all, your furry family member’s safety and comfort mean everything to me. To give you total peace of mind, I am Dog & Cat First Aid & CPR Certified through the American Red Cross. Whether your pup needs an extra-patient friend, a high-energy playtime, or just someone who truly understands their cues, I promise to treat them with the exact same love and devotion I give my own! I am a full-time professional groomer, so my life naturally revolves around animals! My schedule allows plenty of flexibility to give your pet the dedicated care and attention they deserve. I am currently available for drop-in visits and active walks to keep your pup happy and healthy. Because of my professional background, I am also more than happy to discuss customized grooming services to keep them looking and feeling their best. Let's connect and find a routine that works perfectly for your furry family member! When I’m looking after your fur babies in your home, their safety, happiness, and comfort are my absolute top priorities! Every pet has their own wonderful personality, and I love being versatile enough to match their vibe perfectly. Along with keeping up with their usual feeding and watering routines, I tailor my visits entirely to what makes them happy. If you have a high-energy pup who lives for fun, I offer exceptional, toy-squeaking, tail-wagging playtime! But if your sweet pet is a total couch potato, I am more than happy to just curl up, offer gentle scratches, and keep them company. Please note that I currently only offer care directly out of your home, ensuring your best friend stays safe, loved, and thoroughly pampered in their own cozy environment!
“Thank you so much for walking cane! We really appreciate it! He loved you, hope he wasn’t too much of a butt head. Lol Loved the pictures sent and report if he used the bathroom during the walk. So glad we were able to use your services !”
About: I absolutely adore dogs and their personalities. I had an older pup of my own, who has been with me all over California. Unfortunately my beautiful girl has passed. Now I have a 1 year old rambunctious little aussiedoodle named Thorin and all he wants do is play. He absolutely loves making new friends. I am always the first one to be called by any friend in need to watch their pets. I’m confident that Thorin and I can give your pet a safe space for them to have fun and you to relax and not worry. I currently work 2 miles from my place of residence. Your dog will usually just go with me to work every day, we have a bed/area set up (pet friendly environment) or if preferred the dog to stay home. My man comes with me, so we do the same for yours. Also, they would be walked first thing in the morning, on my lunch, after work and then again before bed. I have a crate if thats needed for your dog/your dog likes to have his/her own safe space. My house is free to roam for the animals. I have a big backyard they can play in.
About: Hi! I’m originally from Norway and currently live with my husband and our very friendly cat. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy. I was the main caregiver for my dog for 11 years, so I’m very used to daily walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, and making sure pets feel safe and happy. Since then, I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters, fostered cats, cared for neighbors’ and friends’ dogs, and I even had 3 bunnies myself, so I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities and energy levels. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, because they really are family. Whether your pet is playful, shy, energetic, or just wants company and affection, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll treat them like they’re my own❤️❤️ I currently work part time starting around 4 PM, and my husband gets off work around the same time (3:30pm) so there will almost always be someone home to care for your pet. I also have a lot of free time and love to stay active during the day, I love to walk, hike and run,so pet care fits very naturally into my routine. I’m excited to give your pet lots of attention and care while you are away! I always want pets to feel safe and comfortable in my home. We recently moved into our apartment, so there isn’t a lot of clutter or things pets can get into. Our cat is also very nosy, so we’ve already made sure our home is very pet-proof and safe. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, personality, and any instructions from the owner. Whether that’s walks, feeding schedules, playtime, medication, or just giving them extra attention and comfort, I’ll make sure they feel cared for and at home while you’re away. I also love going on walks and staying active, so dogs will get plenty of exercise, attention, and outdoor time with me💓
About: I have worked with cats and dogs of all ages & sizes for the past 3 years with my previous employer, McCulloch Pet Sitting located in Las Vegas, NV. I recently have moved to Sacramento and am looking to continue pet sitting. I am Cat & Dog CPR & First Aid certified through American Red Cross. I currently am available for drop in visits and walks as of right now. Availability for overnight stays may open up in the near future. I am comfortable with pets of all kinds and will gladly perform proper feeding, walking and playing routines to ensure that they are well taken care of in the times requested.
About: Animals have been part of my life from the very beginning. My family raised and cared for pets of all kinds, including Maine Coon show cats, a golden retriever, and a yorkie. I grew up surrounded by them, learning early how to read behavior, provide steady care, and build trust with different personalities and species. The only time I ever lived without an animal in my home was during my first two years of service in the Air Force. Since then, I have continued to share my life with dogs, cats, and the occasional more unusual companion such as a bird, a ferret, and a snake. Every one of them has been loved and treated as family. These days I share my home with Daxter (my orange tabby) and Catarina and Beretina (two crazy torbie sisters) who keep life entertaining in all the best ways. I am a veteran currently in school and I work part time as a martial arts instructor. Outside of that, I enjoy drawing, playing guitar, and video games. Among my friends I have become the go to pet auntie because I care for their animals as if they were my own. My goal is to bring that same level of attentiveness and genuine care to every pet I look after. Whether they are shy, energetic, quirky, or easygoing, I meet each animal with patience, respect, and a calm presence so they feel safe while you are away. I currently work part time as a martial arts instructor during the day, but my schedule is extremely flexible to accommodate both you and your pets’ needs I care for every pet with a focus on respect, clear communication, and their individual comfort levels. Whether a cat or dog is shy, social, or a little spicy, I follow their cues and let them set the pace. With many years of experience, including caring for my own three cats (Daxter, Catarina, and Beretina), I’m very attentive to both physical and emotional needs and quick to notice changes in behavior or stress. Your peace of mind matters just as much as your pet’s. If you’re away, I provide consistent updates and photos as often as you’d like so you always know how they’re doing. I welcome specific instructions or preferences because every pet has their own routine and every owner has their own comfort level. My goal is simple: your pet feels safe and content, and you feel confident that they’re in good hands.
About: I have 4 kitties and 1 pup of my own. I have had no less than 3 cats my entire life, and am always helping the local strays as well, so I have loved cats of every type of personality and special need. I take my pup with me just about everywhere, so I have a lot of experience being out and about with a canine companion. My dog doesn't like other dogs, so I am also comfortable caring for pups that prefer not to be around other dogs. If you're looking to give your pup an extra special day out at a new park, I would love to bring them on an adventure! If your dog and/or cat is all about routine, I've got you. Playtime? I am so there! Or maybe your little one is a bit anxious and just wants some scratches and snuggles - I am here to make them feel safe and loved while you are away. <3 Whatever they need most, I am here to provide. I am a freelance graphic designer and illustrator, and as such, I have an extremely flexible schedule, so I can be available whenever it is that you need me the most! I always have access to my own car, so even if you need your pup taken to an appointment or to their most special favorite park, I am happy to do so. If you're looking for someone to stay with your pet all day and/or night, everything I need to do my freelance work is portable, so I can give your little one all the attention they deserve. :) I am the master of catering to the needs of all different types of pet personalities, as I have 4 cats and 1 dog of my own, all very unique from one another. As such, I am able to cater the care I give to fit perfectly with your little one's needs and routines.
“Louise is great! She takes extra care of our 60 lb pit /lab mix puppy. She is very knowledgeable of animal care and its very cognizant of individual pet needs. She’ll send you photos/videos of your pet upon request. Will be booking again soon!”
“As first-time Rover users, we chose Alexandra and all we can say is Alexandra is the best! She is extremely prompt & communicative and was eager to help us navigate the app and Rover support when we realized we were being charged holiday fee outside of the holiday period. You can tell she genuinely cares about the pets she cares for while the owners are away. Thanks Alex!”
About: I’ve always had animals around growing up - dogs, cats, bunnies, birds, horses… I took care of my sweet & (very!) energetic dog Missy (golden retriever/lab) for most of her life, and gave her lots of extra attention and medical care in her later years. Recently I’ve been dog sitting for neighbors and friends and it’s such a joy! I love having the opportunity to connect with animals and give them lots of love! 💗 My schedule is currently very open, so I’m available most days of the week as well as some weekends and can generally be available on short notice. I am able to care for your pet(s) in your home according to your specific needs. I’m a respectful and responsible individual and will always treat your home with care!
“Payton was absolutely amazing - she showed up early, was amazingly friendly and patient with my rambunctious dog, and gave her a great walk even though the rain was coming down outside. I would 100% recommend Payton for anyone looking for a great dog walker.”
“Shang is great! I always feel so comfortable and happy having her pick up and walk my pup! He always has a great time! 🐾 Shang always sends picture and text updates and is very thorough:)”

“Achara was great and eased my mind about leaving my puppy for the first time. Responded very quickly every time! Send pictured and updated throughout his stay. My guy is very high energy and after I picked him up he slept for hours! He definitely enjoyed having his own backyard to tire himself out. Definitely recommend Achara for all your pet needs!”
“My dog had a fantastic stay here! Roy took such good care of my dog, He managed meds for an unexpected illness and provided plenty of walks and cuddles. My dog came home happy. Roy is very friendly and flexible and I would highly recommend him.”

“Michael was awesome! He sent multiple picture updates throughout Stella's stay. It was so nice to know that she was getting individualized care, and he seemed to be showering her with attention (which she absolutely loves). We ended up booking with Michael because our usual (and much closer) Rover boarder was unavailable, but we would love to book with him again in the future!”
“Reginay was awesome! Our original rover cancelled last minute and Reginay was able to board nala during our 11 day cruise. She was extremely responsive and caring and was understanding when we arrived late. We will definitely be working with her again.”
“Matt and his crew were incredible! We got multiple daily updates with photos and videos. Our dogs tend to have separation anxiety, and we were worried about how they would do away from home. But they did great, all thanks to the great care Matt provided. Our dogs also got along great with Kobe, and were constantly playing and having fun. We would highly recommend Matt as a sitter, as he was very attentive and accommodating. We will definitely be using Matt as a sitter again in the future!”
“Annie was truly a blessing while we were away. She treated my dogs Chip and Bengi like her own and showed so much patience and kindness. She was extremely understanding, dependable, and made the whole process stress free for us. It’s not easy trusting someone with your baby, but Annie made it feel so comfortable. We are beyond thankful for her! 💖💖🥹”
“Alexandra did an amazing job looking after Mila for over 2 weeks. She responded quickly and provided regular updates with photos and videos. Mila came back cleaner and better groomed than we had dropped her off.”
“We needed a last minute dog sitter for our labradoodle Brooke. Grace was very responsive and we are glad we found her as a new sitter. She sent daily updates and pictures, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Our dog had a great time going on walks and looked happy and well cared for. We will definitely book with Grace again!”
“Becky did an amazing job watching our Husky, Cleo. She constantly kept us updated on how Cleo was doing and sent a ton of pictures throughout the stay. I would definitely recommend her for dog sitting!”
“Brandee was amazing with my labradoodle. He had lots of time outside and play with other dogs. I loved getting photos and updates every afternoon. Will definitely rebook for the next time!”
“Danielle was extremely friendly and I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog with her. I loved that my dog had access to go outside via a doggy door. I appreciated the regular pictures of my dog that Danielle sent. I would book with Danielle again.”
“Demetra and her husband were the BEST dog sitters. Our anxious dog fell in love with them and their two dogs. They were excellent at communication and sent daily updates with photos and video. We will definitely be asking them to pet-sit again and I enthusiastically recommend them.”
“Doh was an absolute lifesaver taking care of Dodger last minute. She was very responsive, attentive, and made me feel completely at ease during his stay. This was Dodger’s first time boarding overnight with someone else, and she did an amazing job keeping me updated with pictures and messages letting me know how he was doing. I truly appreciated her communication and care, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Rebecca is amazing!! I almost don’t want to leave a review because I want to keep her all to myself! I have a senior dog who has some behavioral issues and she handled it all with grace. She is such a dog lover and it shows and she goes above and beyond for your fur baby. We’ll use her as much as she is available!”
“Booking our pups stay with Chelsi was the best. Chelsi went above and beyond to cater to Gracie’s needs and made sure she was comfortable & followed her routine. She shared photos and videos with us constantly & we were able to feel so comforted seeing our Gracie girl so happy and so loved. 10/10 experience and we cannot wait to book with Chelsi again!”
“While I was away, Sade had excellent communication with me the entire time. She sent pictures and updates regularly, which I really appreciated. She also followed the meal plan I provided perfectly and took great care of Peanut. I would definitely highly recommend Sade to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter, and I will absolutely be using her again in the very near future!”
“Cedric & his family are so wonderful with my high energy girl & make her feel at home! He was able to help me out after I had someone cancel last minute & he’s always so communicative & helpful. I always know my Mila is in great, safe hands while under his care.”
