“Ana is my go-to sitter in San Diego! My dog gets anxious away from home and Ana created a calm and welcoming environment. He’s also a picky eater but takes oral medication everyday. Ana was able to ensure he was taking his meds. It was such a relief having someone so wonderful and attentive watching him while I was away. I also appreciated all the communication—lots of photos and texts describing daily walks and activities and anything that was out of the normal. Can’t recommend Ana enough!”
“Araceli always takes wonderful care of our dog Punky! She is extremely reliable, communicative, and professional, and Punky is always so excited to spent time there. Can't recommend highly enough!!”
“Robin and Rahn took fabulous care of Mabel! She takes some time to warm up to people and they made her feel right at home and sent us several delightful updates. Would have Mabel stay with them again.”
“Chau is such a great dog sitter! She is responsive, engaged and enthusiastic. I really appreciate Chau's excellent communication in person, via text and through photos. My dog was very well cared for over the weekend and came home happy and tired from all the fun. I will definitely use Chau again because of her obvious love for dogs and her enthusiasm to watch them.”
“I’m very glad to have had Ken take care of my lab, Renzo. From our initial meet-and-greet, he was very kind, and we had an extensive conversation about our expectations and Renzo’s needs. He was very accommodating and sent me several updates and pictures while I was away. I definitely recommend him to anyone looking for someone to take great care of their pets.”
“Maya enjoyed her stay once again! Thanks for taking such great care of her and sending fun updates of her day while we were out of town. She can’t wait for her next visit!”
About: I have had many dogs and help take care of many dogs. I have never had a problem and dogs are always happy with me. Respectfully will only watch dogs that are friendly, loving, and not aggressive. I work full time from home so can be with your dog all day :) happy to walk them and play with them through out the day. They wouldn’t have to be locked up all day. I’ve had multiple dogs throughout life and currently have a rescue dog. She loves dogs and is very happy to make new friends. She will do great with your dog too
“Ashley took such great care of Buddy. She was super attentive with messaging and flexible with timing. And her pups are the cutest. I this my little man misses his new friends. Definitely will book again!”
“My little shy guy thrived with Kristen! He’s usually pretty reserved but he was already playing and having a blast on the first day. Kristen was great about sharing updates and communicating. She treated my pup with empathy and care. We hope to be back!”
“Madelyn was incredibly communicative and provided photo updates throughout our pup’s stay. It was our first time using Rover and she made it such a smooth experience from drop off to pick up. Highly recommend booking with her!”
“Alex was outstanding! He was super communicative and attentive to our sassy Frenchie’s needs! He sent lots of photos and made our dog feel right at home. We highly recommend Alex!”
“PJ loved staying with Emily so much! Emily sent me pictures and videos of PJ getting lots of hugs and cuddles. I was so happy to know that PJ was safe and in good hands while my family and I were thousands of miles away on vacation. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Emily again because PJ loves her and gets his quirks.”
“Isabella was very nice and patient with my animals. Always letting me know how they were doing and what they were up too. She took very good care of both my dog and my cat and loved them like they were her own.”
“Elba has been the best dog-sitter I could have asked for. She and Miel got along so well! She had no issues with the schedule suggested and was happy to give Miel her allergy medication. They went on long walks, TV show marathons, squirrel looking, and even to a drive-in movie theater!! Elba updated me every morning and sent many beautiful pictures and videos of Miel that showed how happy she was. Would definitely ask her again if needed and would 100% recommend. :)”
“Our Koda had another fantastic overnight stay with Sarah, Taylor and Mango! He was thrilled to be with all of them and loved all his playtime, walks and love that he received. What a joy to know he was cared for with the best sitters. We look forward to using Sarah and Taylor’s service again.”
“Xochitl did such a great job caring for my dog Salt!! She sent daily check ins and photos and she also had great flexibility when my flight home was very delayed. I would definitely book again.”

“We never had to worry about how our kitties were doing on our 2 week long trip. I really appreciated the updates and pictures Aleksandra sent every day. You can tell she really loves animals and is trustworthy, responsible and goes above and beyond! I will definitely reach out to her in the future whenever we need an in-home cat sitter!”
“Maria is a responsible, kind person. She sent photo and video updates, let me know if there were any issues at our place (there weren’t), and our cat enjoyed making a new friend.”
“Christine was so amazing with our cat Nova! She played with her, fed her, and made sure her water and litter box was taken care of. She even supported with clean up after Nova threw up a little bit from eating too quickly. Nova is usually a little feisty but by the end she warmed up to Christine. Additionally, Christine scheduled a meet & greet with Nova prior to us leaving for the weekend- which was so appreciated as we were able to meet her, let our cat meet her, and provide instructions and directions in person. She is clearly knowledgeable about animals and went above and beyond to ensure Nova was well taken care of. She sent pictures and a little summary after each visit. She was kind, caring, and friendly & we definitely will have her take care of Nova again in the future. Would definitely recommend Christine!”
About: I grew up with a Himalayan cat who lived to be 15, so caring for cats—especially seniors—has always been part of my life. I also spent five years caring for a rescue cat with ongoing health needs, which gave me hands-on experience with more attentive, specialized care. I’m comfortable looking after cats of all ages and needs, including multiple cats or kittens, and I’m reliable when it comes to following detailed care instructions.
About: I had a Persian rescue cat growing up. I am very flexible and understand that different cats have different temperaments and will do my best to accommodate whatever your cat needs.
“Kaitlyn was extremely communicative, punctual, kind, good-humored, and got along very well with my cat. My cat seemed well cared for when I got back from my two week trip and everything was tidy and in its place. I would definitely hire her again and would recommend her to anyone. Thanks Kaitlyn!”
“Lara was awesome with my cat Clifford! She gave him plenty of attention and playtime and sent me great pictures and updates. She was great with communication and friendly / easy to work with.”
“It was a last minute booking - I recently moved to San Diego and had to go on a work trip and was nervous of leaving my fur baby. Petunia agreed to a meet and greet and I felt reassured that Zaya was in great hands! Never once did I worry about my cat! I’m so glad I found Petunia. It was my first booking with her and she exceeded all my expectations! She was very responsive, and always on time or early! Petunia even managed to get my cat to come out and hang out with her! Thank you!! ❤️”
“Darya is fantastic with cats! Pepito is always well taken care of and happy when I get back. Darya communicates any issues very quickly, and makes sure Pepito has everything he needs while I’m away. She follows all the instructions for his care and send me cute photos with each visit :)”
“Ramisha took excellent care of my two cats while I was away. Being my first time using Rover, I was a bit anxious but she was very sweet and responsive and my cats warmed up to her very quickly! I would definitely recommend her for any pet needs and will be rebooking her for future needs. :)”
“Sarah was absolutely wonderful with our cat, Dexter! She was very attentive, kept us updated with amazing videos, and made sure Dexter had plenty of playtime and attention. It was clear she genuinely cared about him, and that gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Jarrod was awesome, he took care of my 19 year old sassy cat and gave her daily subcutaneous fluid injections. She’s not the most approachable cat but he was excellent with her. He was communicative, professional, and I felt very comfortable leaving her in his care. Will definitely book with him again!”
About: Hi, my name is Jenna! I have cared for cats my entire life at home and have extensive experience pet sitting for cat owners as well. I am comfortable with all aspects of cat care, including feeding, refreshing water, scooping litter, and maintaining a clean, comfortable environment. I understand that every cat has a unique personality, and I take the time to adjust to their comfort level—whether that means engaging in play and interaction or giving them space when needed. I make sure each cat gets attention, enrichment, and care tailored to their needs. I am attentive to routines and details, and I always keep an eye out for any changes in behavior to ensure your cat stays happy and healthy while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your feline loved one(s)!
“I’m always hesitant to leave my kitties with anyone but Allison made sure they were both well loved while I was out of town with plenty of playtime and treat. Highly recommend if you’re needing someone to love your kitties as much as you do.”
“I’m really thankful that we got in touch with such a wonderful sitter like Angela! She was very communicative and sent detailed updates, with a ton of photos. My cat is usually shy and a little sassy, but she opened up to Angela fairly quickly and was so affectionate towards her. I felt at ease during my trip and felt like Mimi was in good hands. I highly recommend her!”
“Marie did an amazing job checking in on my cat. She was incredibly responsive and sent tons of pictures and updates. I would definitely hire her again, and recommend her to anyone looking for a great cat sitter!”
“Oceane did a great job taking care of our cat while we traveled for a long weekend. She replied very quickly to our messages and we she was super caring, positive and easy to connect during our meet and greet. She was super communicative, punctual and flexible to work with, and we noticed she was very sweet and careful with our little cat. She also took amazing pictures and sent updates every day. Our cat seemed very relaxed when we came back and it felt he had a great time with Oceane. She was also very respectful of our home and left everything in order. We definitely recommend her and would like to work with her again.”

“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!!!”
“Isabella was a life saver for us during our visit to California. We last minute needed a sitter and she was available and was great with both my pups. Would book again”
“Silke and Jerry were kind and very communicative. It's clear that they love dogs and they were able to understand and work with Amon's separation anxiety. They played with Amon a lot and I think a good time was had by all :).”
About: I used to have a cat and a hamster and currently own a dog. I have personally trained him and he is now living with my family! I currently go to college in the morning so my availability will be the afternoons along with the weekends in the afternoon and night! I can do boarding on the weekends while caring during the afternoon on the week days! I enjoy playing or relaxing with your animal depending on what they like to do! For dogs, there is a pet relief area in my apartment building however if they are not comfortable with that and/or you have a senior dog, i do have fake grass on my patio right outside of my apartment!

“Lara was great! She introduced chewy to so many dogs on their walk, and she said he did great. I’m so happy to hear her calm energy probably helped to socialize my pup. I will definitely call on Lara again in the future if I need dog sitting.”
“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!”
“Thank you, Leah, for giving Bodhi the space & time he needs in order to properly warm up to new humans and dogs. He’s had a rough life until now, but w/your help, he’s starting to be more trusting and willing to leave me. Thank you again!”
About: Dogs give us "2 paws up" for our slumber parties. :) Dogs are my cause. I've been nurturing and protecting them for 14 years. I've also learned from them and been protected by them ... because dogs are the best species on earth. I have a soft spot for senior, special-needs, and shy dogs. I’m a fiercely protective dog mom and dog Aunty whose beloved boy Django just passed away at 15. He was my heart dog and soul dog. Still is. He was a senior, arthritic, deaf dog with other special needs and health challenges. I dedicated my life to exceeding his needs whether emotional, mental, spiritual or physical, and whether about diet, lifestyle or environment. I became an integrative wellness practitioner for dogs so that I would be educated and prepared as Django went through different life stages. Some of his successes include overcoming separation anxiety, handling hearing impairment with grace, managing arthritis well, stopping tremors, beating liver disease, having agency about his time to die, and staying connected even now. I’ve taken care of dogs for the past 14 years, starting with Django (adopted then), his pals, neighbors’ dogs, and other clients. In New York City, I had a referral-based doggie B&B where I became Auntie to dozens and dozens of dogs through the years who would look forward to their sleepovers and playtime with Django. It was like sleepaway camp, but in a loving home. I’m new to this app, but I’ve done dog-sitting since moving to California as well as other pet care and animal wellness services - energy healing, animal communication, nutrition guidance, detox education, stress management support, and a digital course on holistic health for dogs. I’m certified in Reiki for animals, integrative health coaching, and am working on pet loss grief support services. I've also produced loads of events from dog birthday parties to celebrations of life, and from art exhibits to rock concerts and cultural festivals. With animal wellness coaching and my digital course, I’ve helped dog parents get clear on dietary, lifestyle and environmental choices for their dogs to optimize wellbeing and manage stress. Happy to share wellness tips and dog food resource guides I've created for clients. I’m an animal advocate and plan to foster dogs in need through TAP, Frosted Faces, and/or other rescues while I also volunteer at SD Humane Society. My husband is retired from FDNY EMS, and his first responder emergency medicine background has proven critically important with a few dogs in our care over the years. It’s a privilege to be with and care for animals. We are downtown near Seaport Village, lovely parks, and the waterfront in a mini-oasis of a community with our own lovely patio and HOA security. We would love to connect, meet your dogs, and have an opportunity to take care of them in our home. I'm currently working from home with my small animal wellness business beyond dog-sitting, and freelancing in event planning, so I have plenty of time to take care of your precious dogs. My husband and I welcome dogs throughout the house, including on our bed. We also have comfortable dog beds. Our large outdoor patio is a bonus in downtown San Diego, and it is enclosed with an artificial grass area for dogs if they need the relief between walks. We'd provide at least three walks per day as well. I always let dogs determine the pace as many walk more slowly than I would if walking alone. I'm always paying attention when walking dogs - not staring at my phone. I'm present and protective of the pups in my care. Healthy, delicious dog treats are plentiful here, though we believe in keeping dogs at ideal weights for their health. We will follow your lead and instructions when it comes to your dogs. There will always be filtered water available for the pups. At our home, you'll often find relaxing music on, nice natural light, and lots of comfortable spots for dogs to make themselves at home both inside and on our Zen patio. We keep our home at a comfortable temperature for the pups with fresh air flowing in, and we have AC or heat when needed. Toys are plentiful, but we can remove them if you're concerned about antlers or if your dog might be a chewaholic. We have kongs and puzzle feeders, too. I always give dogs extra attention at first - even if that means giving them space - so that they can acclimate to the new environment. When my dog Django was alive, he'd mentor the newcomers and show them the ropes. With few exceptions, the dogs adjusted quickly and saw our place as home away from home. I'm good at reading dogs' body language and understanding them on many levels, which includes determining if two dogs might need space from each other. We're fortunate to live in a community that welcomes dogs of all sizes and breed mixes. If you have a dog who needs to be the solo dog staying with us, that can often be arranged. We always want to discuss the dogs' needs, behavior, temperament, routine, likes and dislikes beforehand so that we can do our best to ensure a good fit. We like to have clients complete a client survey and a medical emergency form just to be prepared in the event of such an emergency if clients were unreachable.
“Melissa is absolutely fantastic! I’m completely neurotic about who watches my pup and she put me 100% at ease. She sent me pics and updates about my pup, which was great. Most of all, I knew my pup was in good hands by how excited she was every morning when we got close to Melissa’s place ... she knew she was going to have a great day!”
“Evan and Julia are really terrific. Really nice people on top of being great dogsitters. I really appreciate how well they took care of my big guy. You can’t go wrong with them as your dog sitters.”
“Camille was amazing with my mini dachshund puppy! She was super flexible with my long work hours and change of schedule. Sent pictures and updates throughout the day and an hour by hour note of everything they did at daycare that day 🥺 she spent so much time playing with him and taking him on walks even during her work day, I know he felt loved!”
“Kristen was great! We booked her to dog sit for the day while we were in San Diego on vacation. She was responsive, conveniently located, super friendly and we felt totally comfortable leaving Gulliver for the day. I highly recommend her services!”
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
About: I grew up with Border Collies my whole life, so lots of experience with high energy dogs! I have 1 Siamese Cat, Bruce Wayne. I love all animals, and will happily watch your fur babies like they are my own. I respond quickly, and will provide as many updates as you need while you are away! I work remote, so I have a ton of flexibility on when I can come over and watch your animals and/or can work from there. I will follow your directions exactly, and take great care of your animals! You won’t have to worry about a thing while your away or busy
“Incredible care! I was traveling to town for school and she was not only available at the last minute, but very responsive and communicative. Very good with my girl Nala. And very reliable. Will absolutely book again!”
“Odalis was the perfect sitter for my dog. She radiates trust and kindness and I felt that my pup would be taken care of. When my pup was in her care, she played fetch with her and introduced her to their dog Jasper and our dogs became quick friends. She has a nice large grassy area in front of her apartment. I love that she sent me a couple of photo updates of my baby. I look forward to having her be my Rover again in the future.”

“Petunia was simply wonderful, able to accommodate me last minute on a holiday weekend and very communicative and caring about my dog. She is what Sonoma dog parents need!!! ??”
“Jarrod went above and beyond. Everything was simple, and he was able to wrangle my 3 very different dogs (Pitt mix, jack russel mix, beagle) with no issues. I definitely recommend requesting him!”
“Darya is excellent. A great communicator, reliable and a pleasure to work with. I have a 80 LB black lab with tons of energy and I have full confidence in Darya’s ability to handle my pup. The best!”
“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: 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!
“Katherine is great- she is patient and our little westies are very comfortable with her - she took care of them for 3 days and we will definitely call on her again!”
About: I have taken care of dogs around my neighborhood for many years and will make sure your dog feels safe and loved in the comfort of their own homes! I am an occupational therapist and just moved here for a travel contract! I have a couple weeks off before I start my new job and am willing to help out for your pups as needed. I am free morning and evenings! I will make sure your dogs feel safe in their homes, play and give them long walks, and make sure all their needs are met! For the owners, I will strive to make sure you feel comfortable and reassured that your pets are safe while you are out of town, etc!
About: I’ve been a dog owner for many years and have three years of professional experience working at a dog daycare facility. In that role, I’ve been trained in pack walks, structured solo walks, enrichment activities, and a wide range of services related to daycare and overnight care. I’m committed to creating a safe, positive environment for both dogs and their owners. I’ve also been trained by professional dog trainers and earned in-house certifications in areas such as managing aggressive behavior, separation anxiety, canine behavior, and basic dog health and symptom recognition. Additionally, I have experience managing large groups of 10 or more dogs of varying sizes and breeds. I work with dogs every day and bring my own two, Lucky and Lainie, with me to work. While my schedule is consistent throughout the week, I’m able to offer some flexibility and I'm currently most available on Sundays and Mondays. At this time, I’m unable to host clients’ pets in my home or stay at their home. I hope to offer this options in the future and appreciate your understanding.
About: I currently have the privilege of having two senior dogs that have been in my care for 13 years. I am aware of the patience, love and commitment it takes, having and caring for a pet that solely relies on you. I am comfortable administering medications and dealing with food modifications. I have also helped foster in the past. I am home during the day, with light serving shift 3 times a week at night. Long or short walks are available, as well as playtime, boarding and overnight care. My home is your pets home! I love my neighborhood. While I do not have direct access to a back yard, I am super close to multiple dog parks and live in a very walkable neighborhood.
About: Hi! I’m a reliable, attentive animal lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs and cats of all personalities. One thing I’ve always noticed is that animals tend to naturally feel comfortable around me and respond well to my calm energy and consistency. Whether your pet loves playtime, long walks, cuddles, or simply keeping a routine, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at and make sure they feel safe, cared for, and comfortable while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I’ll treat your pet with the same patience, love, and attention I’d want for my own. I currently have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m happy to provide attentive, reliable care based on your pet’s needs and schedule.

Communication is important to me, and I’m happy to send updates and photos for peace of mind. I care for every pet with patience, attentiveness, and respect for their individual personality 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: Veteran who is an avid rescuer of both cats and dogs. I have been rehabilitating rescued dogs for 12 years and I have had a cat my entire life. I currently volunteer at the San Diego Humane Society as part of their dog team. I specialize in dealing with timid dogs (My own dogs have been from a rescue with behavioral waivers) and helping dogs learn basic obedience procedures (sit, stay, heal, law down) while walking. My passion is helping animals feel safe. On week days, I am available after 5pm and I am available all weekend. I enjoy giving dogs the amount of exercise and stimulation needed to help alleviate stress, loneliness and anxiety. Furthermore, I am more than qualified to clean litter boxes, feed your animals and provide a safe and reliable person within your home. Now that I have returned to office full time, I am not longer unavailable for mid day walks, but I do still welcome the opportunity to walk/feed your pets in my non work hours. I have experience taking care of your animals in your home where there is minimal interruption in their daily routine, no matter how many special instructions need to be followed.
“Melissa- was wonderful. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog know that Melissa was going to walk her and check up on her. I will definitely be using Melissa again!”
About: I’ve always grown up around dogs. Growing up we had several black labs, and a golden retriever. I love animals and I have lots of experience with puppies. I’m an active person so taking your dog on a long walk is no problem for me! I’ve dog sat all kinds of dogs including a senior German shepherd for the last 8 years. I have a very flexible schedule that changes week to week. This means that when I’m watching your pet or walking your dog, my attention is able to be fully on them and I have availability throughout the week. I am very respectful of your space and treat it like it’s my own and try to leave it better than when I found it. That goes for your fur baby too!

On weekends will do everything from hiking to going to the beach with your pets. My apartment is a pet friendly apartment, almost every person that lives there has a dog. We have our own dog park that is attached to the apartment with a fenced in area where dogs can play. No substances or small children, just my boyfriend and I in a spacious two bedroom.
About: I have worked with dogs for more than a year and would definitely be the best pet sitter & walker and treat them like my own. i am avaliable part time due to enrolling in college.

“Elba has been the best dog-sitter I could have asked for. She and Miel got along so well! She had no issues with the schedule suggested and was happy to give Miel her allergy medication. They went on long walks, TV show marathons, squirrel looking, and even to a drive-in movie theater!! Elba updated me every morning and sent many beautiful pictures and videos of Miel that showed how happy she was. Would definitely ask her again if needed and would 100% recommend. :)”
“Our Koda had another fantastic overnight stay with Sarah, Taylor and Mango! He was thrilled to be with all of them and loved all his playtime, walks and love that he received. What a joy to know he was cared for with the best sitters. We look forward to using Sarah and Taylor’s service again.”
“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!”
About: I currently have the privilege of having two senior dogs that have been in my care for 13 years. I am aware of the patience, love and commitment it takes, having and caring for a pet that solely relies on you. I am comfortable administering medications and dealing with food modifications. I have also helped foster in the past. I am home during the day, with light serving shift 3 times a week at night. Long or short walks are available, as well as playtime, boarding and overnight care. My home is your pets home! I love my neighborhood. While I do not have direct access to a back yard, I am super close to multiple dog parks and live in a very walkable neighborhood.
“Like so many, we had a little anxiety dropping our dog off for almost a week but Melissa was amazing. The regular updates and photos reassured us that we left her in good hands. I will only book with Melissa from here on out and highly recommend her.”
“Zannah is incredible and I got so lucky finding her!!! Her & her husband Doug are saints and so wonderful with all dogs 🩷 My golden puppy Callie had so much fun staying with them:)”
About: I am a dog person! Old, young, small, large! No matter the dog I am sure to love and adore them. I do have a 4 year old English Bulldog (M) of my own who is a total couch potato. He’s spent a lot of time around other dogs and does particularly well with puppies and female dogs (he’s a ladies man lol). Growing up neighbors, friends and family were always calling me to care for their fur babies whether they were running home late from work or away for vacation. Some breeds I have sat in the past include: pugs, bulldogs, mastiffs, doodles, bernies, goldens, labs, and austrailian shepherds. I currently work from home 4.5 days a week (Tuesday mornings I am in office), so have a fairly flexible schedule when it comes to tending to your pets needs. Additionally, I am also available for reoccurring pet walking/let outs during lunch and after work. ** At this time I am not able to stay overnight at clients homes, if you are interested in having me do multiple drop in visits to your home throughout the day reach out and I will charge you my overnight price While you are away my goal is to allow your pet to stay on their normal routine as much as possible. Whether that be going for long walks, playing outside, or extra long belly rubs I want to make sure your pet is getting the love and care they are used to.
“Jessica was an amazing sitter while we were away. She was kind, thoughtful, and was even able to watch our kitten Dolly for the weekend with such short notice. She sent us updates about how Dolly was adjusting along with photos. It’s clear her home is full of animal lovers! We could not recommend her more. Thank you Jessica!”
“Kaitlin and Verle took such great care of our dog! He was calm and happy when we picked him up, and I would definitely feel comfortable booking again!”
“Lisa is incredible! Not only is she super kind and helpful for drop off and picks ups but my pup is OBSESSED!! Lisa is so great about taking mango on tons of walks and socializing her with other dogs. Lisa is also great about keeping me informed with daily messages and pictures. I feel like I save her pictures as my background more often than my own! All in all, mango and I will always go to Lisa :)”
“Lori watched our dog Hana for four nights and we couldn’t be more pleased. Hana can be very anxious and temperamental, but Lori exceeded our expectations and was able to form a bond with her quickly. We usually avoid boarding Hana at larger facilities because she becomes overwhelmed and overly anxious. However, Lori was able to provide Hana with much more intimate care where she felt safer. Lori provided daily updates showing us that Hana was active and well taken care of. This made it much easier to feel at ease while we are on vacation. We will certainly be using her again.”
About: I’ve had a dog in my home since I was 3. I’ve taken care of pups at all ages and all stages, I will love yours like I love mine. I believe they all deserve the best in life! I work from home so with them all day and close to a park for plenty of walks and outside time. I also have a dog who loves having guests and friends visit! I have a fairly spacious apartment and allow dogs to be on furniture and sleep with me and my pup. If you prefer crate I can accolade that as well!
“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”
