“This was Willow’s second time staying with Araceli, and when I picked her up, she didn’t want to come home! Araceli is the best, her manner with pups and her joyfulness with being a sitter is what makes me effortlessly comfortable to leave my Willow with her. Willow loves her “Tia” and she’ll be back!”
“Claudia is amazing! She is very thoughtful, considerate, and detail-oriented when it comes to dog sitting/boarding. My senior pups loved her. Highly recommended!”
“Robin & Rahn are amazing! Our dog, Mookie, had the best time. We received tons of pics and videos throughout the weekend - plenty of walks, exploring and playing fetch! We couldn’t recommend them more ☺️”
“Jennifer was so great. We had our wedding that weekend and some plans for my dog ended up changing and we needed Jennifer an extra day. She was flexible. She took such great care of my Navi and sent daily pics. She was communicative and very kind. We really appreciated her.”
“Chau is awesome! Our two dogs did great in their stay with her for almost two weeks! She walked them and took great care of them. We also really appreciated her sending us pictures and providing a quick update throughout our trip. It did a lot to ease the worry of leaving them for so long with a new caretaker. We will definitely be using her again in the future and would highly recommend her!”
“Natasha was incredibly attentive to our 8 month old pup and communicated regular updates! I appreciated that she asked how frequently we wanted updates to help set expectations upfront. She made sure our pup was not just well taken care of but engaged and exercised regularly, plus she kept up with training which was a bonus. We even went through travel delays getting home and she was flexible to accommodate the extra time, it was great knowing our dog was taken care of and didn't add to the stress of travel. We would absolutely use Natasha again.”
“Anna was amazing watching my dog Willow for the first time. I had a lot of anxiety leaving her after just moving to San Diego, but Anna immediately put me at ease. She was so kind and treated Willow like her own, letting her relax and feel comfortable in her home. She kept me updated and sent great pictures that made me really happy. I truly appreciated her communication and care—would absolutely recommend her! She’s wonderful and you can see how much she loves and cares about dogs! Willow had a great time!”
“Benjamin was absolutely the best! He was responsive, kind, and so easy to work with. Our baby Salem adored him and loved having a new furry best friend to play with. We always felt she was safe and cared for, and we appreciated the thoughtful updates along the way. When we’re back, we’ll definitely book with Benjamin again and recommend him to all our friends with furry babies. Thank you, Benjamin, for being so wonderful and for accommodating us on such short notice!”
“Mihaela did an amazing job watching my doggo. My dog is senior so she needs more care, and she was very attentive, kind, and kept me informed. Highly recommend her!”
“Jessica took such great care of my dog. He got along well with the other pets in the home and I got daily updates while I was away. I highly recommend and will be having Jessica sit my dog again in the future!”
“Phillip is one of the best dog sitters I’ve found on Rover! He is very attentive, follows care instructions, and was super accommodating to our booking and requests. Thanks for taking such great care of maya and keeping her so active during her visit!!”
“Kaitlin & Verle took amazing care of our dog Punky. She clearly loves it there, and they are very attentive, caring, and communicative--can't recommend highly enough!”
“Aliciene was fantastic! The dogs enjoyed being with her and her two lovely dogs. When I picked up my dogs they were exhausted from playing so much at her home. If I ever need a dog sitter in SD again I know who to go to :)”
About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life and have experience with dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and temperaments. Over the years I’ve owned and cared for multiple pets, including helping with feeding routines, walks, play, medications when needed, and creating a calm, safe environment for them. I’m reliable, attentive, and understand how important consistency and trust are when someone is leaving their pet in another person’s care. My schedule is very flexible since I work and attend school online from home. That allows me to be present with pets throughout the day and provide consistent care, attention, and companionship. I live in a calm, pet-friendly home with a secure enclosed yard and a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day. I currently have a friendly cat and create a safe, loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed.

About: Cats hold a special place in my heart, despite the fact that I’m a current dog owner. Their presence has always been calming. I enjoy gaining the trust of cats, as it’s often a challenge unlike most dogs. In terms of experience, I’ve owned cats for a number of years and I can perform any task you need including: Grooming, walking, play time and medication administration.
“Maria was incredible to work with! She was very communicative and caring throughout the whole sit. This was Taco’s first time away from home and she made sure both Taco’s and my needs were met. I received the cutest photos and videos daily; and Taco looked so happy during her stay! I will most definitely book with Maria again next time I need a sitter!”
“Jessica took amazing care of my senior cat who is very high maintenance with his feeding needs, sleep habits, medication, and his propensity to vomit and pee on things ;) She is a pro!! Communicative, responsible, honest, and so caring! She took excellent care of my home and my cat! I’d book her again and again!!”
About: Pets have always been apart of my family life growing up. I helped my childhood pet give birth to her pups. I have trained my own dogs in obedience, tricks, and potty training. It is very rewarding spending time with dogs and helping them live a fuller life. I am currently available everyday of the week to spend time with your pups! I also offer boarding services. I am more than happy to help meet your family’s needs. I have two small dogs. Cookie is eight (Shih tzu). Ollie is six(Pomeranian/papillon mix). They are very friendly to all dogs/cats they encounter. I have a small crate if needed. While I do live in a apartment, there are pet relief areas on site. I also love to go on long walks if needed and trips to any nearby dog parks (little Italy dog park) are always a joy.
About: I have cat sat for family members and several friends throughout the years, as well as grown up with a cat. I like to make them feel as safe as possible by snuggling (if they allow).
“Amazing sitter! Very communicative and follows instruction very well. She spent a little extra time with our kitties because of all the medications one of them has. We are very appreciative!”
“She is the best rover we’ve ever had. Extremely communicative, can problem solve, and genuinely seems to enjoy spending time with the animals. Highly recommend!!”
About: Cats have been a huge part of my life for years, and I currently have three of my own, including a rescued former street cat. Caring for cats has taught me that every cat is different, and I take the time to learn each pet’s unique personality, routines, and needs. I have experience with everything from kittens to senior cats, administering daily care after medical procedures, monitoring eating and drinking habits, keeping litter boxes spotless, and recognizing when something isn’t quite right. I know how subtle cats can be when they’re stressed or feeling unwell, so I always pay close attention to the little details. Whether your cat loves to play or prefers quiet company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages for peace of mind.
“What can I say about Viktorija that hasn't already been said? She is dependable, punctual and communicative. This was my very first time using this service and I have to admit that I was quite nervous about leaving my pet with someone new, but all that worry washed away when Viktorija sent me the first set of update pictures of my cat on her visit. She took the most whacky photos of my cat and I could see she was in good hands - if Viktorija is available for any trip I may take, I will try and book her for that time.”
“Darya was great with our cat Johnny Bravo. Consistent and bailed us out when we ran out of food. Our cat opened up to her which is impressive as well! Will definitely hire again in the future.”
“Chelsea is the best!! We have never had a single issue or concern with Chelsea in the last year of her being the primary sitter for our two kitties. Leo and Stitch absolutely love when Chelsea comes over, and we will miss her so much as we move out of town! She always sends lots of pictures too, which is a huge plus!”
About: When it comes to cats, my approach is all about understanding their unique personalities and needs. What sets me apart is my ability to connect with even the most shy or independent felines. I'm skilled in providing specialized care, like administering medication for senior cats or engaging young kittens with interactive play to encourage healthy development. I also pay close attention to their environment, ensuring their litter is clean, their feeding routine is consistent, and they have plenty of mental stimulation. It's about creating a calm and enriching experience for them, making sure they feel secure and happy while their owners are away.
“Armando is awesome! From the time we made contact, communication was great. My cat, Buddy, really enjoyed his time, and we are very grateful for Armando's commitment to Buddy's health and to the safety of our home. The first couple of days Buddy wasn't feeling well -- Armando and I reviewed the symptoms, made adjustments to food and medication, and within 24 hours we had turned a good corner! I got photos, activity reports, and we had a few phone calls at my request to make sure Armando had what he needed to keep my spoiled kitty happy :-). Thank You Armando!”
About: My family and I have always had cats growing up and I’ve always loved taking care of them. I also have two cats of my own now that used to be strays. I am comfortable administering medication if needed. Please feel free to send me a message if you have any questions!
“Rachel has been so reliable and our kitties thoroughly enjoy her visits with all the playtime she provides! We will definitely continue using her for drop-in visits.”

“Chau was so helpful with our two dogs and very patient with our anxious one. She was so communicative and updated us with pictures multiple times a day. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Alexandra was OUTSTANDING. Excellent communication, on time, reliable, and so kind to my new rescue. I had several people decline taking my new 1 yr old rescue but Alexandra came to my rescue! I will for sure be using her service again. She was so patient and gentle. Her own pups look so happy, that tells you a lot. And my pup was so happy to see Alexandra and her pups daily for daycare. Thank you!!!”
“Amazing! Worked with me in a pinch and kept her overnight last minute for me. Sent me updates and pictures of honey. She did well with the other dog she was keeping too. Will definitely be booking again!”

We look forward to our next work trip to San Diego, Benz would love to hang out with you guys again! We 100% recommend you to all parents that are looking for caring and loving babysitters for their furry babies! See you soon!! :-D”
“Cali loved hanging out with Ashley and her Yorkie’s! Also, Ashley was very communicative, sent me photos throughout the day and was very accommodating. Cali was so tired when I picked her up which always means she had the best time playing and being active throughout the day.”
“Jennifer was great with Poppy! She sent alot of pictures and updates, and Poppy came home exhausted! Would definitely use Jennifer again if I’m in the San Diego area. :)”
“Wow! Dakota accepted us as a same day booking and was incredible. She was super communicative and made day care for Anza as easy as could be. We will definitely be using Dakota again on future trips to San Diego.”
“Brook was absolutely excellent with Lotus! She called me before hand to ask questions and learn about Lotus, took the time to meet her, then allowed us to come up with her to allow her to feel settled in. She gave awesome updates and pics throughout the stay! Will definitely be using her again!”
About: Howdy! I've been on rover for a few years now. I briefly stopped in 2023 and then in 2024 I moved down to SD. Now that my pooch and I are settled in we are ready to dog sit again! Throughout my time with Rover I developed a number of regular folks that trusted their dogs with me and my pooch. I have one dog, Butler. He's 8 and is a loving and patient dalmatian. And as you can see in the photos uploaded he definitely enjoys the dog company 🐾 See below for my work schedule :) I work in the office two days a week and work from home the other 3. On the work days in the office I am gone the whole time so I ask that your pooch is well acclimated to being able to be left alone for that extended period of time I live in an apartment right now that has plenty of parks around it so to make sure the dogs get exercise we can either go on long walks at least twice a day or go to the nearby parks
“Thank you, Leah, for giving Bodhi a chance! He is just scared but you gave him the space & understanding that he needs in order to warm up and be comfortable w/a new person in his life. :) He really likes coming to see you!”
“Emily was great. We are so happy with her. She is so caring and send me pictures and gave me an updates. I would recommend her to watch your furry babies. Thank you!”
“Lisa is so fantastic. She took the best care of my little girl and made sure she was comfortable and confident. You can immediately tell she's a dog lover and understands their little personalities and needs. She was so easy to communicate with, extremely flexible with drop off and pick ups, and sent the most adorable photos. Thank you so much, Lisa!”
About: My dedication, love for animals, and hands-on experience as a volunteer vet tech set me apart, ensuring your pets receive the best care and attention. Working three days a week and missing my dogs at home, I’d love to take care of other pets, offering them the love and attention they deserve.

About: I’m a stay-at-home and remote working (part time currently) tech marketing professional, here in the heart of San Diego. This affords me **95% full flexibility and availability** in times I can provide dog walks, drop in visits, and accept daycare/boarding drop offs and pick ups! :) I care for all animals as if they were my own, because I understand the anxiety of leaving our furbabies when work or travel calls. 🥹❤️🩹🥰 I’ve loved caring for my Bombay 🐕 the past 5 years, and have dog walked + dog sat + cat sat for friends countless times. I live in an apartment with my chill 7 year old pup, and we enjoy walks in the neighborhood and the grass park every 2-4 hours. (On hot days, we drive straight to the grass park to avoid the cement/asphalt). This life style, with a commitment of only a flexible few hours of computer work at home each day, gives me a chance to give plenty of attention to all fur babies in my care. Especially for pups who may feel more at home in a relaxed setting (instead of the chaos of bustling day care centers or confines of a boarding kennel), my apartment can be the *calm* oasis for them whether the need care just for the daytime or for extended overnight boarding. 🥰 For cat parents 🐈⬛🐈😻: I cared for a lovely cat for 1.5 years that I dearly miss. I cannot board cats in my apartment, but I can do daily or twice daily cat visits for clients along with the duties of liter box / feeding / play time. Please reach out to me so we can arrange care! >>> I can often accept SAME-DAY-care requests after 9 AM if my calendar shows me as available.

About: I've been caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities for over 10 years. I own a small dog myself and understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone responsible and attentive. I focus on creating a calm and safe environment, respecting routines, feeding schedules, and walks. I always observe the dogs' body language and act with patience and care. I treat every pet as if they were part of my own family. Caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine, as I organize my activities to be present and attentive throughout the day. I spend most of my time at home, which allows me to supervise, play with, and attend to the needs of each pet. I adapt to their feeding, walking, and rest schedules so they feel comfortable and relaxed during their stay. I provide a calm, safe, and supervised environment. I always respect each pet's routines and preferences, observe their body language, and act with patience. I keep the areas clean and safe, and I take controlled walks according to the owner's instructions. If I care for the pet in their home, I follow all instructions to maintain their usual space and routine.

“Armando was a life saver! I needed a last min walk because I got so busy with work and my pup was being a distraction. He was so kind and Presley came back very tired (yay)! I’ll book him again for sure”
About: I’ve been around pets since i was a kid, family dog was a chocolate lab the cocker spaniel. I’ve was blessed with training 3 amazing dogs. Koda (husky), Cabela (Belgian Malinois), Remi (Weimaraner). Koda had seizures and i know how to administer pills as well as the nasal injection for when they are actively having a seizure. Cabela had no issues but she was high energy which i would take her on hikes, swimming and play ball for hours. Remi is diabetic and blind due to the insulin so i know how to administer insulin as well. I work from 8-430 Monday through Friday. Thursday and Friday i am fully remote so i am more available those days. Mon-Wednesday i work remote after 12 (as long as there is nothing urgent occurring at work). In my first home i spent quite a bit of money for my dogs to have a fenced in yard and a custom dog run area as well. My dogs were crate trained for bed time and when they were fed, I can follow your lead on how your pet is trained :)!
“Was able to accommodate last minute booking with ease! Very kind and reliable! No issues during booking, initial meet up or scheduled visits. Highly recommend, looking forward to rebooking with Mara!”
“Viktorijia is amazing!!! So so thoughtful, punctual, and communicative. She also needs to start a second career as a pet photographer , because damnnn her pictures are unbeatable.”
About: I've been around animals my whole life and truly consider pets to be part of the family. Growing up, I cared for our family dog (Shadow) and several cats (Sarah, Barney, Mishu, Josie). During college in New York, I had my own dog (Zazu), and I currently have a cat (Nicolette) in San Diego. Living with both dogs and cats has given me experience with their different personalities, routines, and needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply wants companionship and affection, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I'll care for them with the same attention and kindness I give my own. Until recently, I worked as a school teacher, where I learned to be dependable, patient, and attentive to the needs of others. Since I'm currently between jobs, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide reliable, individualized care for your pets. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, or simply someone to keep them company, I'll make sure they receive the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. I'm available throughout the week and can adapt to your pet's routine to help them feel comfortable while you're away. I believe every pet is happiest when they can stick to their normal routine, so I'll do my best to care for them the way you do. I'll follow any instructions you provide for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, or other routines to make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable. When caring for your pet in your home, I'll treat both your pet and your home with the utmost respect. I'll clean up after myself, leave your home just as I found it, and make sure everything is tidy before I leave. My goal is for you to come home to a happy pet and a home that feels exactly as you left it.
About: I've been walking and sitting dogs for over nine years now, and it's something I absolutely love. My experience includes owning some larger, powerful breeds like German Shepherds, Great Danes, and English Mastiffs, so I'm very comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Currently, I have a Belgian Malinois, which means I'm well-versed in providing the kind of structured exercise and mental stimulation that high-energy dogs need to thrive. Pet care is a big part of my daily and weekly routine, especially with a Belgian Malinois! Every morning starts with a good walk or run to burn off some energy, followed by feeding. Throughout the day, there are potty breaks, training sessions, and playtime. Evenings usually involve another walk and some quiet cuddle time. On a weekly basis, I make sure to schedule grooming, vet check-ups if needed, and dedicated time for more intensive training or enrichment activities to keep things interesting. It's all about consistency and making sure they're happy and healthy! When I care for pets, whether it's in my home or a client's, the main goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. This usually means sticking to their regular feeding schedule, giving them their meds if needed, and making sure they get plenty of exercise and playtime. I also pay close attention to their behavior, looking for any signs of discomfort or illness, and keep in touch with the owner to give them updates and peace of mind.
About: Let me tell you about my girl, what she meant to me, and how I will treat your companions because they deserve the same. I adopted my rescue dog years ago, and she became my best friend, companion, protector, and family. We shared life together. She taught me that trust comes first, that every one is different, and that patience, consistency, attention, and presence matter. When I first adopted her, I was told she didn't like affection or being held. What I learned was that she simply needed trust. Once she felt safe, she showed me who she really was. That experience taught me to pay attention, be patient, and let each one get comfortable in their own time. I understand the importance of routine, exercise, play, companionship, quiet time, and consistency. I pay attention to personality, preferences, comfort level, and the small details that help someone feel secure while their family is away. My girl recently passed away. I will not be replacing her. Instead, I decided to come here and help care for your boy or girl because they deserve the same attention, patience, respect, and care that she received throughout her life. I provide dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, feeding, fresh water, bathroom breaks, playtime, companionship, and routine care. I own and operate my own business and work remotely during the week, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be present throughout the day. I can adjust my work around the needs of those in my care. I also drive part-time on some weekend evenings and can adjust my schedule as needed. For house sitting, I typically spend 2–4 hours of dedicated time each day focused on walks, play, care, companionship, and routine activities, in addition to the time I am present in the home while working remotely. Depending on the arrangement, I may be away for periods during the day, but I remain available for check-ins, walks, feeding, and care. My goal is simple: to provide reliable care, maintain routines, and help your boy or girl feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you are away. I own and operate my own business and work remotely during the week, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the day. I can adjust my work as needed to make sure your companion receives the attention, care, walks, playtime, and companionship they need. I also drive part-time on some weekend evenings and can adjust my availability when caring for your boy or girl. For house sitting, I am generally available for short-term and extended stays ranging from a few days to four weeks. My only regularly scheduled personal commitment is on Tuesdays, though longer stays can be planned around that with advance notice. I care for companions in their own environment where they are most comfortable and familiar. I understand that trust, routine, consistency, and attention are important. I take the time to learn their schedule, habits, personality, comfort level, and any special needs so I can maintain the routines that help them feel secure. I believe trust is earned through patience, respect, and reliable care. Some want attention immediately. Others need time and space first. I pay attention to their behavior and let them get comfortable at their own pace while maintaining their wellbeing and routine.
“Darya was so sensitive and loving with Taco. He was having a tough week with Daddy being away, and she was able to sweetly coax him on his walks each day. This was a great relief to my stress about working late while my husband was out of town. I will certainly be asking for her help in the future.”
About: I have some pet care experience, particularly with puppy training and senior pet care. I understand their unique needs, ensuring they receive the right attention. My dedication to providing personalized care and building relationships with pets and their owners makes me a great choice for pet sitting. Pet care is an important part of my day. I have flexible hours during the week and weekends, so I can take good care of your pets. You can count on me to give them the attention they need. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, safety is my top priority. I keep the environment clean and remove any hazards. I follow routines for feeding and playtime to keep pets happy. I also stay in touch with pet owners to ensure I'm meeting their needs and preferences.
About: Dogs are an integral part of the family! Growing up, we always had at least 3 dogs. Dogs are family not animals to me. I have always taken care of my family pets as well as neighbors dogs. As a teenager, I would take care of my neighbors pitbull and cocker spaniel by feeding them and playing with them when the neighbors were at work or on vacation. I know have 2 dogs, an 10 year old husky and a 6 year old chihuahua mix. They are still very youthful and cared for greatly. They definitely do not act there age. I love taking care of dogs and making their lives as special as they make mine. I am a full time dog mom! I am going to school, but I have the luxury of being attending from home which leaves me plenty of time for loving on the puppers. I have 2 dogs that are very friendly. If needed, I can crate you furry family member. My husky has food allergies so I have experience making sure the fur baby doesn't get into anything that would make their stomachs unhappy. I am super vigilant during walks and sun bathing since both of my dogs are severely allergic to bees. If you board your pet with me, they will be treated just like family. Your furry family member will become one of our family members while they are here. Any dietary restrictions or house rules you wish to disclose will be followed exactly!

I grew up with multiple dogs and a cat and love to make them feel as safe and loved as possible. I love to go on walks and would love to bring a dog along with me! I work from home, therefore I have a flexible schedule. I am available during lunch breaks, mornings, or anytime after 5 PM. Times can be discussed. I live in an apartment with no room mates. I live in a spacious and comfortable home. If I were to provide services in other homes, I would make sure to provide lots of care, attention, and pets.
About: I’m a reliable and compassionate caregiver with a strong background in healthcare, which means your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priority. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments—including puppies, seniors, and pets that need a little extra patience and attention. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering medications, walking, bathing, and providing attentive companionship. I understand how important it is to maintain your pet’s routine and create a calm, safe environment while you’re away. Whether your pet needs an active walk, gentle care, or just someone trustworthy to keep them company, I will treat them like my own. I also provide regular updates so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I work a consistent 7 AM–4 PM schedule with a 2-hour lunch break, and I’m located less than 10 minutes from home, allowing me to provide mid-day care, walks, and check-ins. I’m also available mornings, evenings, and weekends, and I’m committed to maintaining your pet’s routine with reliability and consistency. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. With a healthcare background, I’m attentive to behavior, health, and overall well-being. I follow all care instructions closely, keep a clean and safe environment, and ensure pets feel secure and cared for. I provide regular updates, photos, and clear communication so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Bedrana has been walking my dog most days of the week while I’m at work and it has been such a good experience! She is awesome at communication and gives me so much peace of mind while I’m away that my dog is taken care of! She is very flexible with scheduling too and my dog seems well exercised when I get home! Definitely recommend booking with her :)”
About: I will tailor the love and care for your pet based on his or her behavior and personality. I have both a senior dog and a pup, so there’s a huge range of personalities in between both. My senior dog requires at least an hour inside then wants his own time in the yard as for the pup he requires a lot of exercise and then nap time in the couch. Let me know your fur baby ‘s personality and I’ll be sure to accommodate. At my home you have the option to be completely outside or inside, we have cement and grass and lots of fruit trees for them to smell and explore. I would prefer for your dog to be potty trained in advanced if he or she requires to be inside.
“Karla was very attentive to our dog and was very patient with him as he tends to get hyper around other dogs. She kept in contact with us throughout the day to give updates on Ghost. Highly recommended!”

“Claudia is amazing! She is very thoughtful, considerate, and detail-oriented when it comes to dog sitting/boarding. My senior pups loved her. Highly recommended!”
“Natasha was incredibly attentive to our 8 month old pup and communicated regular updates! I appreciated that she asked how frequently we wanted updates to help set expectations upfront. She made sure our pup was not just well taken care of but engaged and exercised regularly, plus she kept up with training which was a bonus. We even went through travel delays getting home and she was flexible to accommodate the extra time, it was great knowing our dog was taken care of and didn't add to the stress of travel. We would absolutely use Natasha again.”
“Benjamin was absolutely the best! He was responsive, kind, and so easy to work with. Our baby Salem adored him and loved having a new furry best friend to play with. We always felt she was safe and cared for, and we appreciated the thoughtful updates along the way. When we’re back, we’ll definitely book with Benjamin again and recommend him to all our friends with furry babies. Thank you, Benjamin, for being so wonderful and for accommodating us on such short notice!”
“Mihaela did an amazing job watching my doggo. My dog is senior so she needs more care, and she was very attentive, kind, and kept me informed. Highly recommend her!”
“Jessica took such great care of my dog. He got along well with the other pets in the home and I got daily updates while I was away. I highly recommend and will be having Jessica sit my dog again in the future!”
“Kaitlin & Verle took amazing care of our dog Punky. She clearly loves it there, and they are very attentive, caring, and communicative--can't recommend highly enough!”
About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life and have experience with dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and temperaments. Over the years I’ve owned and cared for multiple pets, including helping with feeding routines, walks, play, medications when needed, and creating a calm, safe environment for them. I’m reliable, attentive, and understand how important consistency and trust are when someone is leaving their pet in another person’s care. My schedule is very flexible since I work and attend school online from home. That allows me to be present with pets throughout the day and provide consistent care, attention, and companionship. I live in a calm, pet-friendly home with a secure enclosed yard and a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day. I currently have a friendly cat and create a safe, loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed.
“Monique (and her family) watched my senior kitty with chronic kidney disease. I was very concerned about him using the bathroom and being comfortable since it’s the first time I boarded him anywhere. She was incredibly helpful and did a meet & greet with us to see how he would do. We discussed the best set-up for him ahead of time and she really put my worries at ease. She sent me plenty of updates about his situation and pictures of him. He warmed up to them way quicker than I thought he would! He was incredibly comfortable with them after about a day. They really treated him like he was a part of the family!”
“Elba was very sweet with our Luna. Our luna was having some tummy troubles and Elba was great with the instructions we provided. She took some great photos and videos of luna during her stay. We greatly appreciated them and their flexibility when our flight was delayed.”
“This was our first time using Jordan, and it was a great experience from start to finish. She was super attentive and kept us updated with pictures, which we really appreciated. She even took the time to meet Kai beforehand, which made us feel so much more comfortable. She was always responsive and worked around our schedule—every time we messaged her, she got back to us quickly. Communication was easy the whole time. Kai came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We’re already planning to rebook with Jordan!”
“This was our second time trusting Holly with our furbaby! She is always on time, communicates right away, and sends several daily updates so we never have to worry. It puts our minds completely at ease when we are missing our pup. Thank you, Holly, for being an awesome dog sitter!”
“Lori is my favorite sitter! She is thoughtful, trustworthy, and overall takes great care of my dogs. She was also communicative about my dogs behavior while they were with her, and she was very patient with one of my dogs misbehaving a little. I can rest easy whenever my dogs are with her!”
“Melissa responded very quickly and was able to accommodate us last minute. She did a fantastic job taking care of our frenchie and kept us updated every day. We felt very comfortable with her from the start; our boy didn't want to leave when we went to pick him up. She is highly recommended, and we will be contacting her again for our future sitting needs.”
“Armando is hands down the best dog sitter ever. My fur baby absolutely adores him, and it’s easy to see why. As a dog owner himself, he genuinely understands how to care for and spoil our four-legged family members. While I was away on vacation, he treated my pup to adventures at the beach and even the zoo. From start to finish, everything was seamless and hassle-free. I couldn’t have asked for a more caring, reliable, and thoughtful sitter. Highly recommend Armando to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog like family.”
“Skadi loves Alexandria and her dogs! Her trust isn’t easily earned and it is awesome to see how comfortable she has been in the environment Alexandria has! Love knowing Skadi is getting the same amount of care and attention she gets at home and she will be happy to go back again”
“Sarah and Taylor were amazing dog sitters! They took such great car of Trooper and he looked so happy in all the pics! Great communication and updates, very kind and friendly! Highly recommend 😃 We will definitely use Sarah and Taylor again!”
“Arthur is amazing! I messaged him about boarding my dog Roxy and he replied within seconds saying he was available for the dates I needed. I mentioned a few things I was worried about with boarding, and he was incredibly kind and reassuring. He immediately suggested doing a meet and greet so we could both feel comfortable, which I really appreciated. The meet and greet went perfectly. Roxy instantly loved the environment and all the dogs he had there. Arthur took the time to walk me through everything and answered every question I had. Since this was my first time boarding my dog, I was honestly a little nervous, but he made the whole process feel easy and stress-free. He’s also super responsive with messages, which made communication really smooth the entire time. You can tell he genuinely cares about the dogs he watches. A+++ experience. Definitely 5 stars, and I will absolutely be boarding Roxy with him again!”
