“Hands down my go to for pet sitting. Amazing communication and great pictures to keep your mind at ease while away. For sure will use in the future for pet sitting. 10 out of 10!”

“It was our first time using Kimberly and she was super!! We recently moved from illinois and needed someone to watch Oreo for a few days while we travelled back to illinois. Kimberly was phenomenal! We received several daily pictures including movie nights and walks outside. He really liked Ranger and Ginger, the family dogs. Very accommodating and attended to all our needs. I would give her 10 stars if I could. Great sitter!”

“Ehda is absolutely amazing! She took such wonderful care of my kitty, Disco, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She was communicative, reliable, and made the entire process seamless from start to finish. I felt completely comfortable leaving Disco in her care, and I could tell he was well-loved and looked after. I will definitely be booking with Ehda again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!”

“Ruda is professional, and provides a truly safe and trusting environment for pets . We felt completely comfortable leaving Joy in their care. Both Nicole and Ruda are game with pet care instructions to a T and they kept us updated with walks, meals, and photos, so we always knew how Joy was doing. You can tell they genuinely care about the pets they board. We had a wonderful experience boarding Joy with them . We felt completely comfortable leaving Joy in their care.”


“Khamsay and Amit were wonderful with Murphy!! They were very thorough at the start of boarding to make sure that they understood all of her care guidelines. We got multiple pictures throughout the day and it seems like Murphy got a lot of walks and play time!! Very sweet and attentive family!”

“Michael was amazing with Manu! Sent pretty frequent updates and made sure he was kept busy with often walks and playtime! Highly recommend, definitely will use again!”

“Winnie came home happy and calm. With our previous sitter, she was often anxious and it took an adjustment period to settle back in. After being in Claire's care, Winnie was noticeably relaxed and herself, not stressed. Claire communicated regularly and kept us informed how things were going. We will definitely reach out for Claire's help again.”

“This is our first time using a petsitting app. We were so happy to find Anna to board our dog Sammy for 2 nites. It was last minute and Anna was very accommodating. I had an initial facetime meeting a couple days before and I felt comfortable because Anna answered my questions and was overall very pleasant. We dropped off Sammy and showed her what to do with his food n bedding n we were off. I liked that Anna’s home was very nice, clean and orderly from what I can see from her living room. She has a big front grass yard as well as a backyard and Sammy enjoyed it. She walked Sammy 2x a day and made sure to feed him and she let him cozy next to her on his downtime. Anna sent me updates with pictures in am n evenings. We were very happy with her service (Sammy too) and will definitely use her again! Thank you Anna!”


“I can't thank Mayank and family enough for the amazing care they provided for my dog during our week away! From the moment we dropped her off, it was clear she was in great hands. The entire family went above and beyond, spending so much personal time playing, cuddling, and keeping her entertained. They really treated her like part of the family, and I could tell she felt right at home. It gave us such peace of mind knowing that she was being looked after with so much love and attention. On top of that, they sent so many pictures and videos throughout the stay, which made us feel even more at ease and connected to her. I highly recommend Mayank to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring place for their furry friends. We will definitely be back! Thank you again for making our dog's stay so wonderful!”

“The most amazing service i could ever have imagined! The best updated with photos and videos and they really fell in love with our dogs! Would use them again in a heartbeat! Very grateful!”


“Yating took good care of my cat Sofi for the second time! It’s always reassuring to leave Sofi with someone she already knows and trusts, and Yating provided such thoughtful and attentive care again.”

“Danielle took great care of my puppy. She sent lots of pics and videos and updates. My pup got plenty of play time and cuddles while we were away. She missed her doggie friends when she got home but I know she will see them again when we rebook for our next trip!”

“Alana took wonder care of our dog over three stays. While our pup can be a bit nervous at first, she warmed up to Alana very quickly, which speaks volumes about her calm, caring approach. Alana was attentive, thoughtful, and clearly made our pup feel safe and comfortable. We loved the updates and regular communication which let us see what a great time our pup was having. We felt completely at ease while we were away and are so grateful to have found Alana. We absolutely plan to continue booking with her and highly recommend them to anyone looking for truly excellent care.”

“This sitter was amazing with my Husky. I have never left her with anyone aside from family because she needs to be watched constantly and she has horrible separation anxiety. My dog immediately took to her when introduced. I was nervous leaving her there, but immediately got photos showing me Bella was OK. She checked in throughout the day. And when I picked Bella up, my dog was excited to see me, but she wasn’t the anxiety riddled full of stress she would normally be after being left. I cannot have asked for more.”

“Julia was awesome with our dogs! We appreciated the nightly updates and pictures! Our dogs enjoyed playing with her husky and seemed very relaxed in her home. Thanks for watching our fur babies, Julia!🐾”

“Very happy with our experience. Our dog had a great time with Ryan's family. Ryan was easy to communicate with and he was very accommodating when our travel plans changed unexpectedly at the last minute and we had to extend the boarding for a few days.”

“Holly was an amazing sitter for Hazel. I received regular pupdates with pictures and in every single photo Hazel looked absolutely comfortable and happy with Holly, her home, and her family (including her 2 dogs). I feel 100% confident and comfortable using Holly’s services in the near future and would recommend her to anyone.”


“Alix was wonderful! She communicated with me from the moment I booked to the moment I picked my pup back up and even sent some really cute pictures. I highly recommend her!”

“Karen was absolutely amazing! Left us great updates about our kitties and gave them lots of love while we were away. Very communicative throughout the whole process!”

“Roberta is an amazing petsitter and took the best care of our cats while we were out of town. She is very communicative, professional, and has great attention to detail. She took notes during our meet and greet so she knew exactly what to do for the cats during her drop-in visits. She sent updates everyday with pictures and also brought in our packages. I would 100% recommend Roberta to anyone with pets and trust her completely!”

“Chunli was absolutely amazing while I was away in Japan! She took such great care of my cat — super reliable, caring, and always keeping me updated with pictures and little notes. I could tell my kitty was happy and comfortable the whole time. It really gave me peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and responsible cat sitter!”


“Paz was amazing! She took care of everything, that I asked her to do. Sent pictures during the visits. And my cat wasn’t meowing much after leaving him for 4 days, which is a huge win. Very happy with the results.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs in my house at all times, and have a lifetime of experience walking, feeding, and taking care of them over the years. Recently, my childhood dog Kona (a sheepdog mutt) crossed the rainbow bridge, and I really miss being around dogs. As a kid, I taught Kona how to fetch when she was 5 months old, tricks and commands (sit, roll over, speak, shake), and I cut her long sheepdog coat about every other month for almost 10 years :). My recent experience includes dog sitting, walking, and helping raise my sisters’ dogs (ranging from a 1 month old lab to a 15 year old husky mix). I also cat sit (2 cats) for my friend in New York when I visit. I’ve been told I have a special gift of connecting with dogs and cats, and I truly enjoy spending time with them :) I’ve even worked with dogs on-set for clients at work! I’m a competitive lacrosse player, so I am already active and have the strength to handle bigger breeds. My sister’s 1-year old lab is almost 80lbs and I take care of him regularly. Looking for some extra opportunities to go on walks/runs and stay active!! I also grew up in San Diego and currently have a lot of schedule flexibility since I freelance for work. I currently freelance and have a light load of clients at the moment, so I have a lot of time and flexibility. I can be available weekdays and weekends. I’d love consistent schedules but can be available for last minute or one off bookings as well. I am very respectful of others’ spaces, and can follow rules very well if your dog(s) need to be crated, only in certain rooms, etc. I won’t enter or use any part of your home that you don’t feel comfortable with and will always default to the side of caution to ensure your privacy and trust. Also, if your dog has a favorite walking route I’m happy to utilize familiar environments as well! Please let me know about any specifics and I’d always gladly accept feedback.

“It was my first time hiring a cat sitter through Rover app, so I was pretty nervous at first. Devon made the whole experience so much easier with great communication, reliable care and regular photo updates of my cats. Thanks to her again for taking such a wonderful care of Jelly.”

“Min did an amazing job watching our cats. She kept us updated with detailed and extremely cute updates. We loved all of her pictures. Our older cat has special care requirements, and Min went above and beyond to make sure his needs were met. We will be recommending her to our friends and using her again.”

“Audrey was absolutely amazing with our cat Milo. She was super timely and provided amazing updates. Our house was left super clean and we are extremely grateful for her help! Milo has a new friend too!”


“We had a wonderful experience with Zhongyu! She was incredibly reliable, communicative, and gentle with our cat. She sent detailed updates and photos during each visit, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely book with her again.”


“I cannot recommend Brianna enough as a pet sitter! She took care of my cat, Henry, while I was away, and her attentiveness and care were truly outstanding. Brianna kept me updated with regular pictures and videos, which not only let me see how happy and well-cared-for Henry was but also gave me so much peace of mind. She clearly loves what she does and took the time to make Henry feel comfortable and cared for. Knowing I could trust her completely made my time away so much easier. If you’re looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and dedicated, Brianna is absolutely the best choice. Thank you, Brianna, for going above and beyond!”


“When my husband and I brought home our puppy, Bridget, our biggest concern was how she would be cared for while we’re at work. Alice and Trey alleviated any worries and then some! They are communicative, attentive, and treat Bridget like one of their own. I can go to work with total confidence and peace of mind that she is well cared for and enjoying fresh air, exercise, and socialization. They have been nothing short of a blessing for us as our pup grows!”


“We had a great experience using Nataliya, who graciously watched over our house and our cat, Robbie! She was extremely responsive to communications, and fantastic at sending regular updates, including photos and videos of our kitty while we are away. We would definitely use her again! Thank you so much!”


About: I also have extensive experience caring for cats and understand that every cat has a unique personality and comfort level. Some cats want playtime and affection, while others prefer quiet companionship and consistency. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box care, medication or routine needs when applicable, enrichment, and making sure cats feel relaxed and secure in their environment. I understand feline behavior and respect boundaries while building trust and helping even shy or cautious cats feel comfortable.

About: While dogs have been a part of my life for over 25 years, I've also developed a genuine love for caring for cats. For the past two months, I've provided weekly care for two Persian cats, learning the importance of respecting each cat's unique personality and routine. I understand that cats thrive on consistency, patience, and a calm environment. Whether your cat enjoys playtime and attention or prefers quiet companionship, I'll care for them at their own pace while keeping their routine as stress-free as possible. I'll make sure your cat receives fresh food and water, a clean litter box, plenty of affection (if they want it!), and careful attention to their comfort and well-being. My goal is for both you and your cat to feel completely at ease while you're away.

My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family and friends. I am pretty open nowadays. Ready to take care of your furry babies as much as needed! Also, have my helpers ( my kids off school, are ready to help)! Right now I am open to come and take care of your pets! Always willing to come first to get to know your pets, and introduce myself. Folowing the rules and instructions- that’s number one priority. Safety, Trust, Care and Love only!

About: I have lived with so many different animals, I am highly observant.

About: I have experience of taking care of dogs. My home is a clean, Providing loving and caring environment for your special pet . My house is in a safe neighborhood with a backyard with plenty of shade from pine trees for dog to enjoy. I can house your dog for short or long trips if needed. I typically let the dogs out or walk them 3-4 times a day. Special beds can be easily accommodated. Special requests, such as giving medicine to your dog is fine. Contact me to arrange a meet and greet with your pet. I can also provide a tour of the house and yard.. I only take on one dog at a time. I have a large, fenced-in backyard with plenty of room for dogs to play around and move. What Dipali would like to know about your pet- Please let me know if your pets require any special care or have any special needs or restrictions (dietary, medications, etc.) beforehand. Thank you so much! I am currently home fulltime and will have plenty of time to play with your pup! I can book weekend and weekdays after 2 pm. I have a nice fenced yard and a sweet medium dog to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed.
“I needed a place for my fur baby to stay while my housekeepers were cleaning and I contacted Ruda. He responded right away and was able to provide daycare for my dog with 24 hour notice. You can tell Ruda is a "dog person" and he took very good care of my boy and took him on walks even though he didn't have a very long stay at his home. Drop off and pick up was super easy too. Thanks Ruda! We will be coming back again.”
“Alana was the best sitter we could hope for. She and her husband are loving and dedicated. Their home and yard is a paradise for any dog. Brody can’t wait for us to visit San Diego again so he can stay with his new step family!”

“Danielle was great! Very responsive and went out of her way to make sure I felt comfortable leaving my pup with her! He had a great time at her place and came back so tired from playing all day (exactly what I wanted!). She sent pictures/videos throughout the day too!”

“Caity was super responsive when it came to trying to book daycare for my dog! Her dog got along with mine super well, and they loved to play. She gave me updates while he was there, and for the meet and greet she hung out with my dog for an hour so we could make sure he would do okay, and I could run some errands!”

“I usually don’t like to leave my dog with strangers but I’m so glad someone like Claire is able to take care of my boy, and show him love. Claire is very loving and responsive. I’d definitely take any pet to her before anyone else on this app. I can tell my dog loves going over there with her!”

“I am thrilled to have found Deborah on Rover. My little newly adopted rescue dog has separation anxiety and I’ve needed to have her in daycare several times a week. Deborah and her family and dog, Teddy, have provided a second home for my pup. She has thrived in the safe, caring, loving environment of their home. Deborah is reliable and responsive, and has been very accommodating to my needs. She is cheerful, friendly and kind, always giving me peace of mind while I’m away.”
“While traveling and having to go to the hospital back and forth at UCSD, needed help with my dachshund. Seeing that she has a dachshund as well, made me feel like it was the perfect fit. Angelica was incredible. She is centrally located. Kept updating me with pictures and videos which I absolutely love. Will definitely use her in the future if I am back in the LaJolla area.”


About: Wondering why my rate might be different than another sitter’s? Rover takes a huge portion of the price you see listed. Please feel free to message me about services i can provide or waive; and I am more than willing to negotiate a fair price depending on the level of care your pup needs! I am able to provide a luxury boarding service at a beautiful, large, home with a massive pet safe backyard! We even have a pool if your pup loves to swim. I provide basic training (unless you prefer I don’t!) and I have a bachelors in art from a prestigious university- so I will provide as many photos and videos as you’d like for free- and can also offer photo shoot and portrait painting (either digital or traditional) services, which can be great for getting your pup at their most comfortable when meeting a photographer or painter! I can provide one on one time, I never leave dogs alone unless requested, and I provide your dog all the cuddles and playtime they want! Since it can be better for both me and you, we can negotiate rates for all services based on your preferences- I won’t ask you to pay for something your pup wouldn’t benefit from! I am American Red cross Cat and Dog First Aid certified, updated very recently. I’ve taken care of my family pets since I was four years old, and got my first dog of my own, a teacup yorkie named Sophie, who was my support dog when I was around 13 years old. Ever since then I’ve had a wonderful support dog named Tommy, and now I currently am training my dog Stevie and my puppy, Chloe to be psychiatric service dogs, working with a professional trainer who thinks I’m a natural! I am a great trainer and I am more than happy to offer that service if you’d like, but i’m not a certified trainer yet! I know pet first aid and cpr. I also had another puppy who lived for just under a year, who passed during a routine anesthesia procedure, which was devastating, but now I know she lives on in my puppy Chloe. I am disabled (chronic lower back pain) but i have mobility aids, can walk around your home/my home unaided, can carry small dogs if requested, and can take your pup out as many times as you’d like. I have a HUGE backyard with plenty of grass, and so I can play with the pups/be outside with them as much as you’d like! Currently in the house here I have Stevie and Chloe, but they can be crated/in a separate part of the house as much as you’d like. I will have one of my parents home so they can keep them 100% completely out of sight if that’s your preference! I’m looking to become a dogsitter because, honestly, dogs are my favorite, and i love connecting with dogs with positive reinforcement and love! I’m so beyond excited for the opportunity to meet your dogs! (And maybe even paint them for you, too!) I currently work remotely part time so i’ll be home all day and all night, and i make my own hours so I can take pretty much any job, any time, for any length of time. When i’m at home without any other pups here, I take care of my dogs Stevie and Chloe full time. They sleep with me (unless you’d rather your pup sleep up here!) so have special puppy guards on the bed so they don’t accidentally fall off while they sleep up here ever! If you’d like, i can keep my dogs with one of my parents so your pups don’t interact. I have a big fenced yard that not even the smallest puppy could get out from! I have two extremely well behaved soon to be service dogs that i’m currently training, They are very small Yorkies, Stevie is 6 years old and about 7 pounds, and Chloe is 5 months and about 2.5 pounds. They can be involved as much or as little as you prefer, but all dogs in our home need to be fully vaccinated please. In your home, I would do everything a dog needs, I’d make sure water is full and available 24/7, i’d take your pups out for playing/potty breaks as often as you’d prefer, i’d feed them and give medication if needed (i have lots of experience giving puppies, adult, and senior dogs medications!) If you let me know your preferences, i’m sure i can treat your dog with so much care and love, and help them feel their routines aren’t too different then they are with you, if that’s your preference! And I LOVE dog cuddles, and cat cuddles! Also, my brother is a vet tech that works at Rancho Bernardo Vetrinary Clinic so I have him, my vet, and my trusted vet emergency hospital all on speed dial, just in case! If needed I can hop in a car and take your pups to the park, the vet, the er, to get groomed, etc. (I will never put your dog in my car without consent, of course!!)
“Thank you for taking such great care of our two puppies. This is our first time leaving our puppies in the care of someone else and we feel very fortunate that we found a family that will love them like we do. We will definitely be a repeat customer.”

About: From walking my first childhood dog at 6 to caring for loved ones' dogs throughout my teens, I knew I loved pet care! I specialize in stubborn and/or hyperactive pups! I have walked dogs of all sizes and love getting to know each of their personalities.

I have lived in San Diego for about 14 years now, so I am knowledgeable about all the best dog-walking trails/routes, especially in the Del Mar area! I can't wait to meet you and your pup :) I just graduated from UCLA and moved back home to San Diego, so I have a lot of newfound time on my hands! I am available throughout the day on weekdays and have no problems walking early in the morning or later at night. I recognize that all pets have different needs, wants, and personalities that warrant hyper-individualized care. I make specified folders for each dog I care for that list preferences, dos/dont's, and any other important information.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet caregiver who understands that pets are family. I’ve been a pet owner my entire life and have extensive experience caring for both dogs and cats, including dog walking, pet sitting, feeding, administering routines, companionship, and in-home care while owners are away. I have experience dog and cat sitting in owners’ homes and can provide referrals. I’m highly conscientious, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs—whether that means walks, playtime, sticking to feeding schedules, medications/routines, lots of love, or simply keeping them company and comfortable. I know how important trust and communication are when someone is caring for your furry family member. I’ll treat your pets with kindness, patience, and the same level of care I’d want for my own. I generally try to keep my weekends open for long term dog sitting work I already do. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I have a flexible work at home schedule and available to visit your pet several times per day and take for walks or dog beach. Happy to spend time cuddling and scratching, feeding, or playtime. When I visit your home, I'll be happy to entertain your pet at your place or take out for walks. Plenty of snuggle and play time with refills on water, food, etc.
About: I bring more than 25 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and other pets, along with the perspective of a lifelong pet owner. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else because I've been in your shoes. Unlike sitters who are away for most of the day, I work remotely as a licensed professional counselor, so I'm home throughout the day to provide companionship, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, walks, and lots of love. Your pet won't just be checked on—they'll have someone present and attentive. My professional background has also strengthened the qualities that matter most in pet care: patience, reliability, communication, and the ability to understand individual needs. Every pet has a unique personality, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I treat every pet like one of my own because I know they're family. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in loving, capable hands. As a licensed professional counselor who works remotely from home, I have the flexibility to provide attentive, reliable care throughout the day. My schedule allows me to accommodate walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of one-on-one attention, ensuring your pet isn't left alone for extended periods. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, and I love building relationships with each pet's unique personality. Whether your furry friend needs an energetic walk, a cozy companion while you're away, or simply someone to keep their routine consistent, I'm happy to provide loving, dependable care that gives you peace of mind. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or yours, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, preferences, and personality so I can provide care that's as consistent as possible with what they're used to. I provide fresh food and water, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, exercise, and plenty of affection and companionship. I also pay close attention to their behavior, comfort, and overall well-being, making sure they receive the attention they need while you're away. When pets stay in my home, they'll enjoy a clean, comfortable environment with plenty of opportunities for exercise and enrichment. My apartment community features beautiful walking trails, multiple walking paths, convenient pet waste stations, and a dog park all within walking distance, making it easy to provide frequent walks, outdoor time, and plenty of mental and physical stimulation. My goal is for every pet to feel happy, relaxed, and right at home while you're away.
“Debbie is absolutely a gem! She was so open to walking Cuzco for me, he felt comfortable with her. She kept up in communication with me while I was away. She went above and beyond for him, and I’m so grateful!”

“Lyndsey was great!. Although I didn’t meet her I was grateful she could let Teddy out with her busy schedule She was flexible with walk times, posted pictures of my pup and was communicative on the app which is awesome ! As a fellow nurse I felt safe having her come to our place and walk Teddy - I will def use her again!”

“This is our first time using Natalyia. We are so happy with her service. She walked our golden retriever, I was so surprised our golden really enjoyed his walks with her. He is a very anxious dog and it takes a lot to calm him . However we were surprised how quickly he got adjusted with her and was looking forward to his walks each and every time. Natalyia is very calm, patient and completely remove all his anxiety and fears.”

About: As a friendly dog walker I will make sure your fur baby’s health and safety is my primary concern. Will go the extra mile to make sure every dog receives a safe and enjoyable walk. You can expect me to be punctual; will always arrive on time and provide an amazing service to the family every time. I am also very thorough with my dog walking service especially if your dog has very specific needs. It is my duty to follow instructions regarding your dog’s health issues, triggers and preferences before beginning a walk. I am more than happy to share photos or videos during our walks together. You can expect your dog to return well hydrated, loved, and cared for after our walking adventures.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats long before I ever had any of my own! In terms of cats, I never owned any, but I was always around cats and foster kittens at others' houses, and love them! I've had my own dog for over 12 years, and I also spend much of my time taking care of larger and elderly dogs (with physical issues) of my relatives. Due to this, I also have experience with walking 1-3 dogs at a time. I love to pick up the speed of a walk, but I can also be patient and cater towards the needs of injured or elderly dogs. I just graduated and I'm back at home before leaving mid-August, so I have a lot time on my hands over the next weeks. My weekends are generally free and so are my weekdays! I plan to offer both walking services and sitting services, in the comfort of the pet's own home. Therefore, I will abide by the rules and desires of the pet's owner, and the of pet of course:)
About: I’ve had four dogs back in my home state! Taking care of dogs is a joy. Bonus points for the cute ones, they love me! I’m current working part time doing private chef work and have some time and lots of energy to spend with your pup on trails and more! Would love to have a dog myself when my lifestyle permits, for now, I get to enjoy yours… win win ☺️🎾 Plenty of pavement and park land in this beautiful city! Will ensure your dog is hydrated and gets plenty of playtime while under my care!
About: I've been a dog owner myself for many years, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. As an active UCSD student-athlete, I love spending time outdoors and can provide dogs with plenty of exercise, attention, and companionship. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply having someone around to keep them company, I'm happy to adapt to their needs. I'm responsible, dependable, and experienced in providing attentive care through both my personal experience as a dog owner and my customer service background. I'm comfortable following specific instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and any special preferences your pet may have. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. I’m an early riser and already spend a lot of time staying active, so I’m available for morning, afternoon, and early evening walks depending on my class and training schedule. I’m especially available on weekends and can be flexible during breaks or lighter academic weeks. I’m very organized and will make sure I can reliably commit to any walks or visits I agree to, so pet care fits in smoothly with my routine. I prioritize safety, consistency, and following all owner instructions closely. I ensure pets are securely leashed, avoid unsafe situations, and pay attention to each animal’s needs and behavior. I treat every home with respect and provide regular updates so owners feel confident their pets are safe and well cared for.

“Over the past year, Trey has proven himself as a very reliable and capable dog walker. He communicates very well and gives me updates without my having to ask. My two large dogs look forward to his visits and I know they are safe with him.”

About: I am an animal lover that is passionate about caring for all animals, specifically rescue animals and animals that may require unique behavioral support or have special needs. My own dog is highly reactive, so I have a lot of experience with handling and caring for reactive dogs. I treat and love every animal as my own and am a very responsible and reliable caregiver. I work as a school psychologist, so I typically care for animals more over the summer! Over the summer, I am available throughout the day for walks or drop in services. I am very flexible both week days and weekends, check my calendar to see if I’m available! I do not offer in-home pet care due to the needs of my own pets. However, I am a very responsible and respectful caregiver when entering client homes.
About: I grew up with dogs and have taken care of dogs of all sizes for neighbors, family and friends. I can help with feeding, walks, baths, brushing, dental care, etc. I have a hybrid work schedule, so I can take care of your dogs on the weekends and for shorter periods during the week. I'm happy to discuss with you how much care and play time you would like each day for your pups! I have experience working with anxious dogs and puppies. I want your pups to feel as comfortable as possible while you're away. Please let me know if you have any specific requests for your dogs' comfort and safety.

“Ehda is absolutely amazing! She took such wonderful care of my kitty, Disco, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She was communicative, reliable, and made the entire process seamless from start to finish. I felt completely comfortable leaving Disco in her care, and I could tell he was well-loved and looked after. I will definitely be booking with Ehda again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!”


“Khamsay and Amit were wonderful with Murphy!! They were very thorough at the start of boarding to make sure that they understood all of her care guidelines. We got multiple pictures throughout the day and it seems like Murphy got a lot of walks and play time!! Very sweet and attentive family!”

“Michael was amazing with Manu! Sent pretty frequent updates and made sure he was kept busy with often walks and playtime! Highly recommend, definitely will use again!”

“This is our first time using a petsitting app. We were so happy to find Anna to board our dog Sammy for 2 nites. It was last minute and Anna was very accommodating. I had an initial facetime meeting a couple days before and I felt comfortable because Anna answered my questions and was overall very pleasant. We dropped off Sammy and showed her what to do with his food n bedding n we were off. I liked that Anna’s home was very nice, clean and orderly from what I can see from her living room. She has a big front grass yard as well as a backyard and Sammy enjoyed it. She walked Sammy 2x a day and made sure to feed him and she let him cozy next to her on his downtime. Anna sent me updates with pictures in am n evenings. We were very happy with her service (Sammy too) and will definitely use her again! Thank you Anna!”


“I can't thank Mayank and family enough for the amazing care they provided for my dog during our week away! From the moment we dropped her off, it was clear she was in great hands. The entire family went above and beyond, spending so much personal time playing, cuddling, and keeping her entertained. They really treated her like part of the family, and I could tell she felt right at home. It gave us such peace of mind knowing that she was being looked after with so much love and attention. On top of that, they sent so many pictures and videos throughout the stay, which made us feel even more at ease and connected to her. I highly recommend Mayank to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring place for their furry friends. We will definitely be back! Thank you again for making our dog's stay so wonderful!”

“The most amazing service i could ever have imagined! The best updated with photos and videos and they really fell in love with our dogs! Would use them again in a heartbeat! Very grateful!”

“This sitter was amazing with my Husky. I have never left her with anyone aside from family because she needs to be watched constantly and she has horrible separation anxiety. My dog immediately took to her when introduced. I was nervous leaving her there, but immediately got photos showing me Bella was OK. She checked in throughout the day. And when I picked Bella up, my dog was excited to see me, but she wasn’t the anxiety riddled full of stress she would normally be after being left. I cannot have asked for more.”

“Julia was awesome with our dogs! We appreciated the nightly updates and pictures! Our dogs enjoyed playing with her husky and seemed very relaxed in her home. Thanks for watching our fur babies, Julia!🐾”

“Very happy with our experience. Our dog had a great time with Ryan's family. Ryan was easy to communicate with and he was very accommodating when our travel plans changed unexpectedly at the last minute and we had to extend the boarding for a few days.”

“Holly was an amazing sitter for Hazel. I received regular pupdates with pictures and in every single photo Hazel looked absolutely comfortable and happy with Holly, her home, and her family (including her 2 dogs). I feel 100% confident and comfortable using Holly’s services in the near future and would recommend her to anyone.”


“Alix was wonderful! She communicated with me from the moment I booked to the moment I picked my pup back up and even sent some really cute pictures. I highly recommend her!”

“Corinne and Christopher are great Rover sitters. They were very responsive to messages and most importantly took great care of my girl Busaba. I felt like she was in good hands. I would definitely recommend them and would use them again.”


“Brooke went above and beyond for our pups over the holidays! We feel so lucky to have found her. We have two senior dogs that typically are sat at our house, but had to find somewhere else for them to stay this year and Brooke made them feel right at home. They loved staying with her. She also sent a ton of photos and videos which we appreciated so much. Could not recommend her more!!”

“Alina was an amazing sitter for our 80 lb lab! She was so professional, providing daily updates with photos and videos. Alina’s positive energy was genuine and it was clear our dog was very comfortable with her and her family. I highly recommend Alina!!”

“Ali was great with Luna! I got consistent photos and updates throughout her stay, and Luna genuinely never looked happier lol. So happy to have found a sitter that Luna loves and feels so comfortable with. We’ll definitely be booking with Ali again!”

“Margaret & Kyle took such great care of my 4 month old puppy, Kalua! She made sure to send daily pictures, updates, and videos while my husband and I were in vacation. Best of all, Kalua gained a new best friend with their dog, Toffee! We are so grateful for them and will definitely be trusting them with caring for Kalua in the future 💛”
