“May and her sweet, little dog Pepper are so wonderful and kind!! They are the only ones I entrust my dear fur-baby to, when I have to travel for business. She is “2nd Mommy.” ❤️👏🏻 Thank you, May!”
“Takako and her husband were amazing! This was my first time leaving Gracie and they made me feel so comfortable about everything. I received daily updates and photos from Takako and they took such good care of Gracie. It was so easy to coordinate with them. I will definitely have them watch Gracie again in the future. I highly recommend!!”
“Kimberly was amazing, and a life saver! Our dog stayed with her and her family for a couples days and it just gave us so much peace of mind knowing she takes such good care of her own dogs and took the same care with ours. And she’s so friendly and accommodating I think our dog had a better vacation than we did! Pictures she sent us were adorable and looked like they had a little pup resort. We would send Howie again for sure.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Thank you Claire! Our Kobe was spoiled rotten in your care! You are the quintessential dog whisperer! I can’t wait til we visit next time and Kobe to see you and Leo! Thank you for your love and wonderful care.”
“Sandy was amazing and agreed to help us out last minute during a busy travel week. She took incredible care of our dog. Her experience with dogs was clear from how she interacted with Darwin and we couldn't have asked for a better home for our dog!”
“Wonderful and amazing people! Super reliable super communicative and really loving. My dog Beck had an amazing time! Came back to me very happy! I will 100% be going back to them in the future! Thank you so much!”
“Alix is simply amazing! Our dogs lover her and she cares for them like we would! We thank her for providing peace of mind when we are away from home. Furthermore, this is a family affair, our dogs also love her daughters! What an awesome family!”
“I give Mayank and his family a FIVE star review all the time. They send pictures, updates. Zazzle is so happy to be with Myank and his family. Their daughter Pia loves all the four legged guests. Zazzle has dogs to play with, get tuckered out. Can't get better than this. Thanks to Mayank and family.”
“Chewie had a great time with Khamsay and Amit. He was well taken care of with lots of walks. Khamsay sent lots of updates with photos and was so nice. Chewie can’t wait for his next stay with them.”
“Michael is very friendly and professional. He took very good care of dog Cosmo over the Memorial Day weekend and also gave us some caring tips. He gave us daily updates and was very flexible with our drop off and pick up schedule.”
“Apple was great and her pups quickly became buddies with my dog. Thanks Apple for taking such good care of Oreo and making him feel happy and at home for our/his vacation.”
“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!🐾”
“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!”
“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!!”
“Calvin and Tiffany were great.My dog had some issues and they did a super job. My dog is 13 years old and has never been away from me. I felt she was in really good hands and I highly recommend them.”
About: I’m a dog mom with many years of experience taking good care of pups of all ages and sizes. I work from home with an extremely friendly dog of my own so your dog will have company all day and night! I work fully remote with a flexible schedule. Your dog will always get a morning walk with mine, potty breaks whenever needed, and I can accommodate any feeding schedule. I’m available to provide daycare and board most weekdays and most weekends. I have a fenced backyard patio for potty breaks and time outside. Your pup will have free rein in the house with a doggy playmate. I generally do not crate or cage my dog when I’m out of the house, but can separate your pup as needed based on your requirements. I have cameras in my home for monitoring so I can always check what the pups are up to!

About: I have 2 cats myself, 1 of which has had a handful of health scares that we have worked through the together. I am well versed in drug administration, feline behavior, and even walking cats.
“Karen is absolutely incredible. She has watched our babies several times now and every time she comes into our home we feel better and better about her! We have rescued and adopted eight sweet little souls, and not everyone can take that on. One of our cats has a very severe skin issue and she has been able to give her impeccable care and administer medication’s that she needs. We are extremely particular about not only who is in our home, but who we in trust with the lives of these precious little souls and you cannot find someone better than Karen. Karen, I hope you read these, and I hope you know from the bottom of my heart, you mean so much to me and my family and we feel so incredibly blessed to have found you. In the six years that we’ve had our babies, we have never left them for more than 48 hours at a time even with care. We finally feel safe and comfortable enough to be able to take vacations and know that our babies will be taken care of like we take care of them. THANK YOU!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Chunli looked after my kitties during a time of transition for us. She very sweet with them, played, sent wonderful photos, and even my shyest cat 🐈⬛ came out to say hi to her, made my absence at that time feel manageable. Very grateful. Thank you, Chunli!”
“Roberta took great care of my two cats. She is consistent, provided great consistent updates and communicates well to make sure to provide the best care. I would definitely book her again. Thanks Roberta for taking care of our cats.”
“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.”
“Devon was so great with my cat and took lots of photos for me, she is super kind and friendly and great with animals!I felt so much better about leaving Lucy alone for the long weekend. I decided to take a last minute trip so I wasn’t sure I was even able to find someone to check in on her but I got so lucky and am so grateful!!”
“Nataliya took fantastic care of our two kitties! She was very reliable, great at communicating and really cares about the animals in her care ☺️ I would highly recommend her! You couldn’t choose anyone better.”
About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family 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!
“Lizbeth was amazing! She really went above and beyond for my cat and she took such great care of him, was super responsive, and sent me the cutest photos and videos every day. It was his first birthday while she was taking care of him and she even got him a birthday hat and bandana and sent me the best photos ever, genuinely could not recommend anyone more!”
“Hanna was amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure our kitty was taken care of — giving her what she needed that day, whether it was play or snuggles. She noticed ants got in the food bowl so thoroughly washed it, refreshed the food, and immediately extinguished the ant problem while we were away. Great communicator with great pictures. 10/10 recommend!”
“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!”
About: 🔔 Owners, please read entire profile, as it contains very important information about what to expect, guidelines and requirements for your dogs stay! ***Drop off and Pick up windows must be no longer than 30 minutes*** I spent 10 years managing a large property in the Rancho Santa Fe area that had multiple breeds, sizes and ages of dogs. As part of my many managerial duties I oversaw the personal care, vet appointments and individual schedules of all of these beloved family pets. They were all an absolute joy and I’m happy to be able to offer the same level of care to your furry family members as well. ✔️New to Rover? Enjoy $20 off of your first stay! Just use code RUDAV63279 at checkout.👌🏼 I work from home, so pet care can very easily integrate into my current schedule. I regularly step away from my computer to take breaks, so taking a furry friend out for a walk is an added bonus! I will host up to 2 pets a night, I have separate gated areas in my home to ensure food schedules are calm and peaceful while keeping everyone happy as they’re being slowly integrated with one another, everyone is safe and secure at all times. All pets cared for must be potty trained, spayed/neutered, have absolutely no aggression issues towards other animals or people, are not constant barkers or cry and bark due to separation anxiety. ***Aggression issues and separation anxiety of any kind are non-negotiable.*** If your pet has any level of this type of behavior, it’s not the right fit for my home. It’s very important to maintain a calm, peaceful and safe environment for everyone sharing the space. For overnight boarding, pets will sleep downstairs in the main living room area on their own bed/crate, pets will not be permitted to be on furniture or in the upstairs bedroom areas. VERY IMPORTANT: Also, please make sure that all personal care, vet and emergency contact info is up to date on your pets profile as well. Vet and Emergency contact info are required before I will accept a booking.
About: I have lived with so many different animals, I am highly observant. I can quickly pick up on subtle changes in a pet's mood or health, ensuring they feel safe and understood while you are away. I am College student who has entered his summer break. I want to use this time to enjoy my time with pets and earn cash. I provide attentive, personalized care tailored to each pet’s unique routine. Whether at your home or mine, I ensure a safe, nurturing environment with plenty of play, companionship, and reliable consistency.
“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!”
“Caitlin, thank so much for bringing such peace of mind in providing reliable, trustworthy pet sitting service for Lola. I hope we can do this again and again! Really flexible and dependable, your fur babies will be in good hands!!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Carmel Valley
Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
“Sophie is great! She is caring and attentive. Maisy enjoyed her week playing with Snow and hanging out. I felt super comfortable that Maisy was well cared for. She came home exhausted from an active day with her new friends!”
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!!)
“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.”
“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!”
“Once again, Bisou had a wonderful day with Kimberly and her sweet pups! She is very responsive, so easy to work with, and our pup clearly has a wonderful time with her playing with doggie toys, going for walks, safely exploring, and resting comfortably and cozily. We also love that she sends many pictures so we know how our dearest fuzzy one is doing! We have already booked her for another visit!”

“I am very grateful to find Shuo to take care of my dog. From the moment my dog met her, it was clear they hit it off — she’s a natural with dogs! She’s experienced, pays attention to detail, and truly cares about dogs. I’ll definitely be booking again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, reliable sitter!"”
“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!”
“This was the first time Pluto went to doggy day care and he had such a wonderful experience after day 1 Pluto was so excited to head to Ryan’s house. Ryan and his family are the sweetest and took really good care of him.”
“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.”
“Christy did an awesome job watching my dog - she was great with communication and sent so many pictures and videos while he was there! The second day pulling onto her street, he got soo excited in the car that he was coming back and having the closed in backyard was great for my energetic dog, would definitely recommend!”
“sophie was very kind and communicative throughout the process! she recieved my daisy with open arms and took her on walks, sent pictures throughout and even shared her own dogs food with our girl. will be returning to sophie :)”
“Anna was very professional and quick to respond. She sent tons of photos and updates, and her calm and welcoming demeanor really put my shy girl at ease. As a worrier, I absolutely loved the safety of the fenced-in yard. We’ll definitely be using Anna again!”
“I've been using this sitter for quite some time now. Very reliable and dependable. She's been able to help with short notice sitting and out of state work trips for my crazy work schedule. My pup loves it there and enjoys their entire family. I don't get as many pictures but I get a few and my pup is always a happy camper whenever I pick him up. Would definitely recommend this sitter all anyone in need of pet care.”
“I’m so glad we found Caitlin. She was super flexible and available for us bright and early. She was also the perfect calm our puppy needed. I could tell my puppy was very excited to go back to her home.”
About: Over the past 6 years, I’ve also managed holiday pet sitting for various dogs, ensuring they stay active and happy while their owners are away. What truly sets me apart is my access to professional knowledge; my younger sister is pre-veterinary track. This background makes me extra attentive to pet health and safety. Whether your pet needs high-energy play or a calm companion, I provide a structured and loving environment tailored to their personality. I really enjoy being with cats and usually start my day seeing my own American Shorthair laying right outside my door. Since I work from home, my schedule is very flexible. I can provide consistent companionship throughout the day, ensuring your pet gets plenty of attention, regular breaks, and interactive playtime without me ever having to leave the house. Safety is my top priority, and I’ve learned a lot from my sister who is currently in vet school. In my home, I maintain a pet-friendly environment where my cat and your pets can feel secure. When sitting at a client's home, I am extremely diligent about following your specific household rules, double-checking locks, and keeping a close eye on your pet’s behavior and well-being at all times.
“Gris is an exceptional dog sitter! Her sweet nature and excellent communication made our experience worry-free. Despite our slight delay in returning, she was incredibly understanding. Gris treated our furry family member with the utmost care and affection, as if our pup was her own. Her attentiveness and dedication have earned our trust completely. We're thrilled to have found such a reliable and loving sitter in Gris, and we look forward to having her as our go-to dog care provider for all future needs. Highly recommended!”

“Chunli is marvelous! Our dog would sit anxiously by the door waiting for her to arrive, and was absolutely ecstatic when she saw Chunli. Chunli was punctual and reliable. She communicates extremely well through the Rover app. In person she communicates well, and she is friendly and personable. She sometimes uses a translation app to make sure there's a complete understanding. Thank you Chunli!”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs. From an early age, pets have been a central part of my life, and for the past five years I’ve been a primary walker and caregiver for my own dog, Luna. That daily routine has made me attentive to each pet’s unique needs, whether it’s maintaining a consistent walking schedule, reinforcing good leash manners, or noticing subtle changes in behavior. I’m committed to safe, reliable, and compassionate care. During visits and walks, I focus on positive reinforcement, clear communication, and a calm, predictable environment. I’m comfortable with a wide range of temperaments and energy levels, from shy cats to high-spirited pups, and I tailor exercise, play, and enrichment to match your pet’s age, personality, and routine. I walk my dog in the afternoons and mornings as needed in my household, as well as feed both her and my cat every day! You can expect timely updates, photos, and honest check-ins so you always know how your pet is doing. I respect your home and follow all instructions closely, including feeding guidelines, medications (if applicable), crate routines, litter box maintenance, and preferred walking routes. My goals are simple: keep your pet happy and healthy, reduce stress while you’re away, and provide dependable, professional service every time. I will follow your instructions and walk your pups for upwards of 30 minutes per walk if needed! For cats, I will respect their boundaries and focus on providing the best care for them regardless of their demeanor
“Brittney to the rescue! She was super accommodating to us being first time Rovers. She communicates very thoroughly and thoughtfully. Our little doggo was super happy to have her come take him for a quick walk, pee, & poop. Thank Brittney for taking care of our pets so well. We can tell you really love animals of all types.”

“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!”
“Hanna has been an excellent communicator, punctual, and above all amazing with our dog. Our dog is a bit territorial but he took right to Hanna upon meeting her. I appreciated her notes and updates and have already asked her to be our new regular!”
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.
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!
“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.
“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.”
“Funny coincidence, I actually went to school with Steve years ago — great to reconnect here and even better to see how dedicated he is to caring for my Standard Poddle! Steve is punctual, reliable, and trustworthy. Definitely recommend Steve.”
About: What sets me apart is real, hands-on experience, not just good intentions. I raised and trained my own dog from 8 weeks old, so I understand puppy behavior, training fundamentals, and how to build trust with a young or nervous dog from day one. I'm comfortable with all sizes, from tiny breeds to big dogs who need extra exercise and structure. I've also pet sat for countless friends since I was a teenager, so I know that every dog has a different personality and routine, and I take the time to learn what makes your pet comfortable rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether your pup needs an experienced hand with training reinforcement, extra patience, or just a loving, attentive presence while you're away, I treat every pet like my own. I currently have a lot of flexibility in my schedule! I'm not tied to a rigid 9-to-5, so I'm able to offer flexible availability throughout the week — including midday visits, walks, and drop-ins that a lot of full-time sitters can't accommodate. Whether it's a regular weekly routine or last-minute coverage, I have the bandwidth to be reliable and consistent, which I know matters most to pet parents. In my home, your pet will have plenty of space to relax and play — I have a dog-friendly 1,200 square foot apartment, and a trail nearby for walks and exercise. My own dog is incredibly social and loves playing with other dogs, so if your pup enjoys company, they'll have a built-in playmate during their stay. I treat every pet like a member of the household — consistent feeding schedules, plenty of attention, and enough space to settle in and feel comfortable rather than confined. When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible — same feeding times, same walk schedule, same little habits they're used to. I want pets to feel like nothing has changed just because their owner is away, and I always treat their home with the same respect and care I'd want for my own.
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.
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 have a dog at home in California and have taken care of him for my whole life. And I have done pet sitting for around 5 years now. I am free all day every day. And I love walking so I would be happy to walk the dog whenever is needed or makes the dog happy. They will sleep on my room with me. I have no safety hazards for the dog and I will feed when needed and walk when needed!

“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!”
“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.”
“Sandy was amazing and agreed to help us out last minute during a busy travel week. She took incredible care of our dog. Her experience with dogs was clear from how she interacted with Darwin and we couldn't have asked for a better home for our dog!”
“Alix is simply amazing! Our dogs lover her and she cares for them like we would! We thank her for providing peace of mind when we are away from home. Furthermore, this is a family affair, our dogs also love her daughters! What an awesome family!”
“I give Mayank and his family a FIVE star review all the time. They send pictures, updates. Zazzle is so happy to be with Myank and his family. Their daughter Pia loves all the four legged guests. Zazzle has dogs to play with, get tuckered out. Can't get better than this. Thanks to Mayank and family.”
“Chewie had a great time with Khamsay and Amit. He was well taken care of with lots of walks. Khamsay sent lots of updates with photos and was so nice. Chewie can’t wait for his next stay with them.”
“Michael is very friendly and professional. He took very good care of dog Cosmo over the Memorial Day weekend and also gave us some caring tips. He gave us daily updates and was very flexible with our drop off and pick up schedule.”
“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!🐾”
“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!!”
About: I’m a dog mom with many years of experience taking good care of pups of all ages and sizes. I work from home with an extremely friendly dog of my own so your dog will have company all day and night! I work fully remote with a flexible schedule. Your dog will always get a morning walk with mine, potty breaks whenever needed, and I can accommodate any feeding schedule. I’m available to provide daycare and board most weekdays and most weekends. I have a fenced backyard patio for potty breaks and time outside. Your pup will have free rein in the house with a doggy playmate. I generally do not crate or cage my dog when I’m out of the house, but can separate your pup as needed based on your requirements. I have cameras in my home for monitoring so I can always check what the pups are up to!
“Nina is amazing! Our dog Roxy really enjoyed her time there. Nina took Roxy on a long walk which she loved and sent updates and the cutest photos, highly recommend Nina. We will be using her again”
“Corinne & Christopher is such a lovely couple who took great care of my dog Jackie Chan. From the first time we did a meet and greet- I was at ease and know they will take care of my dog as if he’s their own. Thank you so much and until the next time.”
“Abegail was very kind and caring with Koko, she even was very responsive and sent a lot of photos for his short stay with her! Abegail even responded to our last minute request as we had issues with another sitter and was able to book her the day of our reservation! Wonderful job done and would strongly recommend her again!”
“Gelare was fantastic! She was so kind to our pup and you could tell she loved dogs. Her home was very nice and welcoming and Senna came back as happy as can be! I would definitely recommend and use Gelare 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!!”
“Christy took great care of our elderly dog! She was able to handle giving her several medications twice a day and took her on walks. It seemed like our pup received lots of love and attention. We also got pictures and videos throughout her stay!”
“Allison & Shane did such a wonderful job taking care of Bella. Being able to find a sitter that you truly feel you can trust to tend to & look after your fur baby in the way they need is invaluable! Allison & Shane were thoughtful in the way that they approached our shy & anxious girl, giving her exactly what she needed to feel safe and a part of their family. They were also very communicative with us and provided plenty of pictures throughout the entirety of her stay to keep us informed on how our baby was doing. Everything I could’ve asked for & more! We’d love to have Bella stay over again in the future. :)”
