“We are so thankful to Xochitl for taking such amazing care of Fluffy during his 5-day boarding stay while we were out of town. Knowing Fluffy was in such loving, patient, and trustworthy hands gave us so much peace of mind. Xochitl treated him like family, making sure he was comfortable, happy, and well cared for every day. Fluffy also had so much fun playing with the other puppies, which made his stay even more enjoyable. When we came back, he was relaxed, healthy, and clearly happy, showing how much he enjoyed his time with her. We truly appreciate the love and attention she gave him and highly recommend Xochitl to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter!”
“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!”
About: I've had dogs and cats my entire life. We currently have two rescue beagles and 5 rescued cats. I do not currently work and can be home with your animals unless running short errands, and once someone enters our home they are family and will be treated like the spoiled royalty they are. I'm happy to send updates and pictures throughout their stay as well. I do not currently work, so I have all the time in the world for your furry friend. The animals rule our house and are allowed on all furniture/beds so they will be very comfortable. I do walks in the early morning with my dogs, but could also do day time/evening walks if your pets need. We have a fenced in dog-run with 24/7 access through a 1-flap dog door. They can go in and out as they please, but the fences are only 3ft high in the dog run, so jumpers/runners might not be the best fit. We feed our dogs twice a day and cannot free-feed animals.
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Kona had a great stay here while we were away for 10 days! I got plenty of updates and pics and details about her stay. They made sure Kona was very comfortable. She cannot wait to come back :)”
“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!”
“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.”
“Mariana was an outstanding sitter. She was very attentive and communicated great. My pup did not want to leave her side. I would highly recommend booking her for your fur baby.”
“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!”
“Genevieve was, as always, a fantastic sitter. We had an emergency and having such a trusted sitter for our dog took such a stress off our shoulders. She sent great pictures and updates, and Charlie had an amazing time playing with Willow and snuggling Genevieve and her husband. Thank you so much and we’ll 1000% book again!”
“4th time! Rachelle is THE BEST! She sends so many pictures, kept our dogs an extra night when our flight was delayed, and even made cute little ink paw prints! We trust Rachelle to always take the best care of our pups.”
“Alexis eased our mind during our dog, Chili’s, first Rover experience with her. She sent several photo updates, quick to respond and very knowledgeable. We are glad we found her!”
“Jocy is worth a reservation! She has experience with all type of dogs and knows how to gauge with each one. She is a very nice person and wants the best for your dog. Listens and understand your concerns for your dogs needs. She took very good care of my senior Pomeranian. Followed instructions with food and medication, provided updates with video and pictures throughout my dog’s stay. Made sure my dog was comfortable when she had separation anxiety. And was my dogs temp. bestfriend while I was away. I look forward to rebooking her again.”
“Michell w was absolutely incredible and made Boogie feel right at home. I received a lot of cool video updates of my little guy and Michelle was juts excellent& super flexible. I will absolutely be booking with Michelle again and you should too!”
“Lisa always takes the best care of Onyx. She cares for the dogs like they are her own. Onyx loves going to Lisa’s to stay while we are gone. We love Lisa and highly recommend her!”

“Lynn was amazing! My two cats clearly loved spending time with her and took to her immediately during our meet and greet. She watered my plants, sent me lots of pictures, and was very communicative. I accidentally miscalculated how many days I’d need a sitter and she was super understanding and came to take care of the cats again on very short notice. I will definitely be asking Lynn to watch my cats again and would recommend her to anyone.”
“Leah is the absolute best! She constantly goes above and beyond to make sure my cats and home are taken care of, and she is extraordinary communicative about any questions or concerns. This most recent time away was during some fires in the area and she was so attentive to my concerns, sharing info with me and making a tentative plan in case the worst should happen. It makes me feel so comfortable and at ease knowing she is loving on my babies while I’m away. I cannot recommend her enough!”
About: Being around dogs since childhood, I'm very sensitive to their needs. As a prior dog owner myself, I've dealt with several situations, in working with dogs during rehab, caring for a dog with special needs and adapting to senior care. I have also taken care of dogs for friends and coworkers. For the time being, my services come as a package deal. Please only book if your dog is for certain comfortable with toddlers. My child has been exposed to different dogs, including larger dogs such as a lab, and he knows to be respectful and give them their space. There will be no tail pulling, taunting or any other form of bullying permitted while we are with your pet, as we are to be gentle with all animals. For shorter drop-ins or walks I can have my child secured in a hiking backpack. Currently, I/we are best available for weekend sits, though weekend or evening walks and check-ins are also available. We are also available for longer stays if your pet is used to you being at work during the week. We'd love the opportunity to get puppy love when when possible. First and foremost, I understand that every pet is different, with unique needs, temperaments and personalities. Some are just fine while their owner is away, while others may display anxious behavior during this time. It is my goal that no matter what they experience, that they be as comfortable as possible. Of course I would be mindful of what your pets are and are not allowed... in my own experience, I was never one to give my dog human treats unless it was a very special occasion, so I can be respectful and understanding of any rules specific to your preference for your dog(s). I am happy to take them outside, drive them to a nearby park if that is something you are comfortable with, I think communication when it comes to your loved one is key.
“Mariela did an amazing job watching my 2 cats while I was away. She gave great updates on the cats and everything was neat and clean in my house when I got home. Would definitely book again!!”
“Carmen was able to take this drop in request extremely last minute, which we appreciated so much! She was super communicative and attentive to our kitties, even though we hadn’t had a chance to do a meet and greet. I would absolutely recommend Carmen!!”
About: I've been around animals for many years and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable and safe. I'm happy to follow feeding schedules, administer basic medications if instructed, go on walks, play with energetic pets, or simply provide companionship. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their safety, happiness, and well-being. I’m currently working part-time so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I have very flexible schedule as well so if I’m needed, I can always stop by in addition to the already scheduled times. I try to be around as much as I can. For walks, I usually walk them earlier in the morning before it gets too hot for them.
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover who grew up with both cats and dogs. I have a flexible schedule and have volunteered at animal shelters, where I've helped in the clinic and participated in Doggy Day Out programs. I'm reliable, responsible, and great at time management, and I'd love the opportunity to give your pets the care, attention, and love they deserve! I have a pretty flexible schedule! I currently work part-time while completing graduate school online, which gives me plenty of availability for pet care throughout the week. I'm happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pets get the attention and care they need. I always treat every pet like they're my own! At home, I spend lots of time playing with and caring for my cat, making sure she's happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Having grown up with dogs, I'm experienced with taking them on walks, sticking to their routines, and making sure all of their needs are met. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or yours, I'll provide plenty of attention, affection, and reliable care while respecting their individual routines and preferences.
About: I’ve grown up around cats and understand how important it is to give them patient, gentle, and reliable care while helping them feel safe, comfortable, and stress free while you’re away.
About: I've cared for cats for friends and family over the years and understand that every cat has their own comfort level and routine. My goal is to make every visit as stress-free as possible by following their routine and giving them the care and attention they deserve. During each drop-in, I'll make sure your cat has fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and plenty of love and attention (if they want it!). Whether your cat enjoys playing with toys, getting brushed, or simply having a calm companion while you're away, I'm happy to tailor each visit to their needs. A few things you can expect from me: 💛 Patient and attentive care 💛 Respect for your cat's routine and personality 💛 Feeding, fresh water, and litter box cleaning 💛 Playtime, enrichment, brushing, or quiet companionship 💛 Medication administration (if needed) 💛 Plenty of photo and video updates throughout my visits I treat every pet as if they were my own and want you to feel completely at ease knowing your cat is in caring, dependable hands. I can't wait to meet your feline friend!
“Madeline was so great taking care of my kitten. She left great notes and sent many pictures. She was always on time and stayed for the duration I requested and spent that time playing and cuddling with Boba! Highly recommend using Madeline!”
About: Hello! My name is Oona and I provide dedicated, distraction free pet care tailored to your animal's unique routine. Since my current apartment building doesn't allow pets, I am using Rover purely for the joy of spending time with animals! I deeply miss having a furry companion around, so your pet will truly be treated like my own. I have over 20 years of pet care experience encompassing both high energy dogs and cats. Growing up, I raised and trained a Blue Heeler mix and a Golden Retriever/Gordon Setter mix, giving me deep expertise in handling large breeds with intense working, herding, and hunting instincts. I am highly skilled in leash control, behavior management, and providing the physical and mental stimulation active dogs need. In addition to dogs, I am incredibly comfortable with cats. I owned a house cat throughout college and for several years afterward, and I regularly provide drop in care and house sitting for friends' felines. I understand feline body language, respect their boundaries, and am experienced with litter box maintenance, structured playtime, and feeding routines. Whether your pet is a high energy pup who needs a long walk or a shy cat who needs a patient companion, I provide a calm, distraction free environment tailored to their exact routine. My Specialty Skills: • Large & High Energy Dogs: Expert at managing strong, active, working breeds. • Feline Companion Care: Experienced with cat routines, boundaries, and playtime. • Leash Control and Safety: Confident handling strong pullers in busy environments. • Distraction Free Focus: Dedicated care with no resident kids or pets of my own. I can’t wait to meet your pets! I offer flexible pet care designed around evenings and weekends. Because my primary goal is to fill my free time with animal companionship, I am highly flexible and eager to fit into your pet's regular routine. My general availability is: • Weekdays (Monday–Friday): Available starting in the early evening for walks, drop-ins, and house-sitting check-ins. • Weekends (Saturday–Sunday): Fully open with flexible, all-day availability for walking, drop-ins, or dedicated house sitting. • Overnight Stays: Happily available with prior notice so I can coordinate my schedule and give your home and pet my full focus. I am highly communicative and always respond quickly to help you plan your week! Your home and your pet are in safe, responsible hands. When house sitting, I treat your property with the utmost respect ensuring doors are locked, alarms are set, and your space is kept pristine. Because I do not have pets of my own right now, your animal will never face territorial behavior or stress from resident pets. My focus is 100% on them. During outdoor walks, I maintain a strict on-leash policy, avoid interactions with unknown dogs, and stay highly alert to the surrounding environment to prevent any risks. I am highly attentive to behavioral cues, respect feline boundaries, and maintain a clear emergency plan with a 24/7 veterinary clinic local to your area. I will always keep you updated with frequent photos and peace of mind messages throughout my visits!
“Our dogs and cats loved Ravit! It made our trip so much nicer to know that they were getting great care. Ravit even figured out how to get our incredibly picky dog to eat!”
About: I approach kitties and give them attention based on what they are comfortable with. After years of owning cats, it’s become easy for me to read their body language and know when it’s appropriate to approach, pet and give them attention in other ways. Whether you have a bold, attention craving kitty, or a sensitive and more timid baby, I’d be delighted to check in on them and give them the attention they need🩵
“Kara's reintroduction to Athena after my girl, Sasha's passing went great. Kara was able to successfully walk my shy Athena with no issues. They also got some plank training exercises done! The photos Kara shared with me were reassuring all was going well. Athena and I look forward to seeing Kara in a couple of weeks! Kara, thank you!”
“Hollyanne & Donovan were great! They were very responsive and provided great care for my two cats! Will definitely be booking again! Thanks again! 😊”

I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Whether your dog is full of energy or just wants some company, I adapt to their needs to make sure they feel safe, happy, and at home. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to easily accommodate dog walking, drop-ins, or extended stays throughout the day. Since I already care for my own dog, pet care is a natural part of my daily routine: walks, playtime, and attention are built into my day! When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where dogs feel relaxed and happy. I provide plenty of playtime, regular walks, and lots of cuddles, making sure each dog’s needs and routines are followed closely. Since I have my own dog, your pet will also get social time and companionship. If I’m caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with respect and maintain your dog’s usual schedule for feeding, walking, and play. I keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is well cared for even when you’re away.
“Xochitl did an amazing job with our two pugs! Pugs are needy and she handled them brilliantly. She was patient and understanding even though they were more to handle than her usual dogs. I will book with her again, if she'll have us!”
“Holly Anne and Donovan were such a great fit for us! Their home is absolutely perfect for doggy daycare. They welcomed in our puppy like he was one of their own. We received so many photos and updates throughout the day. Our puppy had so much fun staying with them! We are endlessly grateful.”
“Stephanie and Benjamin were great with Leo! He has separation anxiety and they were able to navigate it perfectly. They made him feel right at home. Gave him a walk, lots of pets and love! For a dog that is a bit timid, he acclimated immediately. I would highly rec them especially if you’re wanting your fur baby to be in an experienced but more importantly loving home!”
“Lynn took great care of Bagel. She sent us plenty of pictures throughout the day and we could see that Bagel was being well cared for and happy. I loved getting the report card at the end of the visit. This was a fantastic experience thanks to Lynn.”

About: I have owned and cared for dogs for more than 35 years, including Cocker Spaniels, Bulldogs, and Jack Russells. This has given me experience with different personalities, energy levels, and care needs. I provide a calm, dependable home, am available throughout the day, and have a secure fenced yard where dogs can safely play and relax. I am home throughout the day, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have plenty of time for regular walks, playtime, feeding, bathroom breaks, attention, and quiet time. I can also follow each dog’s normal schedule to help them feel comfortable and settled. Pets in my home are cared for in a calm, secure environment with a fully fenced yard and plenty of supervision. I follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, medication, and routines. Our children are experienced around dogs and understand the importance of treating them gently and respectfully. In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep their pet’s routine as consistent as possible.
About: A lifelong dog lover with years of experience, especially caring for senior pups. While I specialize in small dogs, I also enjoy looking after cats and medium breeds.

I primarily care for small-breed dogs and always take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, secure, and loved. I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment where your pet will receive plenty of attention and care by keeping my home clutter free and boarding one pet at a time.
About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs in my San Diego community for the past 10+ years, and every experience has deepened my appreciation for the unconditional love our pets bring into our lives. It’s truly the greatest lesson they teach us! Whether it’s a playful walk, a calming hike, or simply spending quality time together, I give every pet I care for the same love and attention I’d give my own. I’m passionate about creating a safe, happy, and engaging environment for your furry friends. Feel free to reach out with any questions, I’d love to discuss how I can support you and your pets! I recently started my own business as a Brand Designer, working from home allows me to have flexibility, and taking a break from the computer to walk a dog always make my day better! I get to know the pet, and build trust and connection through play, treats, walks, cuddles and spending quality time together. I love getting to know the owners and witness the beautiful connection you build together ❤️
“We had some last minute construction going on in our house, and Laryssa helped us out last minute. Such a blessing to have a place for my baby to go to have a peaceful day, play in a yard, and get lots of love while it's so crazy at home. She was responsive, sweet, sent me pictures and updates, and just gave me the peace of mind I needed. I will definitely send Mr. Kirby back to Laryssa's place. Thank you so much! :)”
“LeeAnn was very sweet to Mowgli during our meet and greet and pickup, and understood his anxieties. She sent pictures of Mowgli being comfy with her dogs. It was a hot day, so she kept the pups inside and cool. We look forward to Mowgli and LeeAnn spending more time together!”
“Lucia is so great! She watched my senior dog while I was at work and sent me plenty of updates including outdoor walks and napping photos. She immediately bonded with my boy and was very kind to him. I felt safe leaving him with Lucia so he had a buddy during my time away. Will book again!”

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for most my life. I've had up to three dogs of my own at a time. Had to say goodbye to two of them last year. I have a one year sweet pup named Lucy that has been great around all dogs big and small. I work full time from home so I am more than happy to have your dog for the day while you're at work, or for the night if you're away. I can stop in to let your dog out throughout the day if needed. I do have 2 cats in the house so would need dogs that are cat friendly or ignore them. Look forward to meeting your pup! I do have a full time job, but I do work from home so I do have a very flexible schedule so I am available to take care of your pet during the week. I am free pretty much all day on Saturdays and Sunday I am very respectful of your home and belongings. I truly do love animals and I can assure you I will treat your pet(s) and spoil them just as I do my own

“Excellent dog walker. My Chihuahua mix, Ren, was super comfortable with Ricardo. I would definitely recommend Ricardo for anyone looking for a friendly and reliable dog walker.”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and grew up with three dogs and cats, so caring for pets has always come naturally to me. I’ve also watched and cared for neighbors’ and friends’ pets over the years, which has given me experience with different breeds, personalities, and routines. What sets me apart is how genuinely much I love animals and how seriously I take caring for them. I know every pet has their own personality and needs, and I always try to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. Whether that means sticking to their normal routine, giving them extra attention, or just being patient and calm with them, I want them to feel as at home as possible. As a graduate student, I’m responsible, dependable, and organized, and I bring that same mindset into pet care. I understand that trust is a huge part of leaving your pet with someone, and I want owners to feel fully confident that their pet is in good hands. My schedule is very flexible right now, which allows me to be available for a variety of pet care needs. I’m available all weekdays and weekends! I always make safety and trust my top priorities when caring for someone’s pet. Whether I’m in my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets are in a clean, comfortable, and secure environment where they can feel relaxed and cared for. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions from the owner. I know every animal is different, so I try to make the experience as stress free as possible by keeping things consistent and giving them plenty of attention, patience, and care. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the pet’s space and the owner’s home, and I always aim to keep things tidy and follow directions closely. My goal is to make pets feel safe and comfortable while giving owners peace of mind that their animal is in good hands.

We pride ourselves on our flexibility and make sure to send lots of pictures and videos throughout the stay. I offer walks, drop-ins, and in-home care. I follow routines closely and keep owners updated with messages, pictures, and notes throughout the stay. Whether your pet wants snuggles on the couch or adventures outdoors, I’m happy to make their time enjoyable. In my home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable and part of the family. I follow their normal feeding and potty routines, provide regular walks/playtime, and make sure they have safe spaces to rest. I offer lots of supervision and affection, and I send photo updates throughout the day. Pets are treated with patience and respect, and their comfort always comes first. I’m happy to accommodate crates, specific schedules, and any special needs so they feel at home.
“Kara was an excellent sitter for my pups! Even though there was no time for us to actually meet in person she was very aware of all the instructions and was sure to make the best of it! She send me a bunch of pictures of my dogs and I could tell my dogs were happy and well taken care of when i arrive! I would definately recommend Kara! I will sure ask her for her help again in the future.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Sherry is someone I trust completely with Luca. From the very beginning, she has been dependable, communicative, and genuinely caring. Whether it’s a planned walk or last-minute help, I know Luca is safe, comfortable, and well cared for with her. Sherry keeps me updated and treats Luca like her own, which gives me total peace of mind. Knowing I can rely on her and trust her in my home with my dog means everything. I’m incredibly grateful for her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate dog walker!!”
“For anyone who feels that their dog is less a pet and more a family member, Liz is the right fit for you. She treats our Lulu like she is a member of her own pack. She is reliable, thoughtful, trustworthy, and very loving. Our dog gets so excited to see her. We’ve been extremely happy with her dog walking services and would highly recommend her.”
About: My name is Nicole and I love all kinds of animals! I have over 10 years of experience in pet-sitting. I’ve raised and cared for three siamese cats over the past 17 years so if you’re looking for a cat sitter, I’m your girl! I have experience with all ages from tiny kittens to senior cats, special needs cats, and can administer oral medication (pills or liquid). I have watched 50+ cats and consider myself an expert in cat care. I’ve never been able to have a dog of my own, so I’d love to be able to spend some time with yours! Walking is my favorite part of dog sitting; I love how happy it makes them! I have experience with all types of dogs, from 6 month old puppies to seniors and from tiny terriers to big pitbulls. I have tons of experience with older dogs who are blind and/or deaf and can give medicines in food or pill pockets. I work part time as a private tutor in the afternoons so I have plenty of time before 3 and in the evenings for pet visits The pet’s safety always comes first. Cats almost always stay inside (exceptions for outdoor cat clients) and dogs are only let out on a leash or in a fenced backyard.

About: I've had dogs and cats my entire life. We currently have two rescue beagles and 5 rescued cats. I do not currently work and can be home with your animals unless running short errands, and once someone enters our home they are family and will be treated like the spoiled royalty they are. I'm happy to send updates and pictures throughout their stay as well. I do not currently work, so I have all the time in the world for your furry friend. The animals rule our house and are allowed on all furniture/beds so they will be very comfortable. I do walks in the early morning with my dogs, but could also do day time/evening walks if your pets need. We have a fenced in dog-run with 24/7 access through a 1-flap dog door. They can go in and out as they please, but the fences are only 3ft high in the dog run, so jumpers/runners might not be the best fit. We feed our dogs twice a day and cannot free-feed animals.
“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!”
“Genevieve was, as always, a fantastic sitter. We had an emergency and having such a trusted sitter for our dog took such a stress off our shoulders. She sent great pictures and updates, and Charlie had an amazing time playing with Willow and snuggling Genevieve and her husband. Thank you so much and we’ll 1000% book again!”
“4th time! Rachelle is THE BEST! She sends so many pictures, kept our dogs an extra night when our flight was delayed, and even made cute little ink paw prints! We trust Rachelle to always take the best care of our pups.”

“Jocy is worth a reservation! She has experience with all type of dogs and knows how to gauge with each one. She is a very nice person and wants the best for your dog. Listens and understand your concerns for your dogs needs. She took very good care of my senior Pomeranian. Followed instructions with food and medication, provided updates with video and pictures throughout my dog’s stay. Made sure my dog was comfortable when she had separation anxiety. And was my dogs temp. bestfriend while I was away. I look forward to rebooking her again.”

“A Huge Thank you to Shelby and her family for taking care of my dog Bekka. She responded and excepted my very last minute request to board Bekka within minutes. This is my second time having Shelby dog sit Bekka and just like last time I’m very happy with the way she communicated throughout the stay during drop-off, play time, walks and pick-up. Bekka was so excited to be staying with Shelby again, if you’re looking for someone you can trust and your pets will love I highly recommend!!”
“I can highly recommend Jason to board your dog! He took wonderful care of Nikki and was very flexible when I had to extend for another day. She cane home washed with her nails clipped, smelling and looking great! He’ll be my first choice the next time I need someone to care for my dog.”
“Hana was wonderful with our slightly neurotic older poodle mix. When I picked her up after her overnight visit, she really seemed like she had had fun! And Hana's home environment seems like doggy paradise. She provided me pics throughout the day, and her communication was excellent. I would be glad to use Hana's services again.”
