“Araceli is fantastic. My dogs love being with her. She is always so responsive and she let me drop off the dogs two hours earlier than I initially asked for which was really helpful due to travel plans changing.”
“Joe took great care of my dog, Shamrock! He has a sweet dog named Callie. Callie and Shamrock became fast friends. Joe’s home is lovely and offers a secure yard for the pups to play. I highly recommend boarding your pup with Joe and Callie.”
“Robin was an outstanding choice to watch our fur baby! You can tell that she really loves dogs and was happy to have Trevor at her home. She is an excellent communicator, responded to our messages quickly, and kept us updated with daily pictures of our pup. He was definitely loving his multiple walks and extra attention. I would happily book Robin again!”
“Coco loves Ana and her husband! They really treat her like they would their own pup. They are super accommodating to her needs as an anxious dog with separation anxiety, and I know she loves the extra affection and attention that they give her while she stays with them. This is Coco’s second time staying with them, and we would book again with Ana!”
About: I have a Mini Australian Shepard of my own who is 3 years old, whom I trained myself. He is very well behaved. Additionally, I’ve been a dog and cat sitter for friends and family over the past 5 years. My service will include lots of walks, love, and play time with your pet. I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available all day on weekends and on weekdays after 6 p.m. Although I live in an apartment, I do have access to 2 fenced dog parks across the street and I live close to Balboa park which makes for great walks!
“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!”
“Chanel took amazing care of my cat, Pespes, for three weeks while I was away. She was reliable, caring, and clearly loves animals. Throughout the stay, she kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me great peace of mind knowing Pespes was doing well and being looked after. When I came back, Pespes was happy, healthy, and clearly comfortable with Chanel. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive cat sitter. Thank you, Chanel, for taking such great care of Pespes!”
“Kaitlin and her husband were great! They were flexible and gave me regular updates on how my pup was doing during his weeklong stay. Plus, their place looked well-equipped for dog-sitting with plenty of water, outdoor space, a doggy-door, and beds. Thank you!”
“My dog kingston had a great time with David, i could tell because he was chipper and lively after i picked him up. David was communicative and extra helpful even when i forgot to pack some of kimgston's essentials. He was also extra nice to accomodate me for pick up and drop off.

Madelyn took wonderful care of our dog from Wednesday night through Sunday morning and kept us updated with messages and photos and videos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Our Archer looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. It was clear that she genuinely love animals and treated our Archer like family. We came home to a relaxed and happy pup, and we couldn’t be more grateful. We highly recommend her services and would definitely book with her again. Thank you for taking such great care of our furry family member. Our Maltese-Shih Tzu can be a little picky and attached to us, but she made him feel comfortable and loved right away. 🐾💕”

“Christine was amazing! She took great care of our two cats and kept us updated on them while we were gone. One of our cats has a medical need and she was more than capable of handling that and our young kitten with tons energy! I would recommend her to anyone. If I could give her more than 5 stars I would!”
“María is amazing!! Not only does my cat love her but she takes amazing care of my home. There was a heavy rainstorm while I was away and she noticed the litter box and mats around the box were soaking. She changed the litter, took care of the mats, and tidied up. She is observant, takes initiative but checks if that’s what I want her to do. I cannot praise her enough!”
“Lara was absolutely AMAZING with my kitties Remy and trixie! They loved her and she was constantly in contact with me and sent me so many pictures! I will definitely be using her again?”

“Darya was amazing with my cat, as usual. I had to be away for almost a week longer than planned, and Darya was very adaptable and made sure Pepito had everything he needed while I was gone. She always sends me a photo and an update on not just Pepito’s food/water/litter box/etc, but also on his mood. Pepito always seems happy after spending time with Darya :) I highly recommend her for your pet-sitting needs!”
“Halle was amazing watching our kitties and apartment while we were out of town. She was detail oriented and always gave adorable pictures and updates every day! Very communicative and helpful.”
“We recently invited Alexandra to look after our cat, Toby, and we couldn't be more pleased with the experience! Our cat, who can be a bit shy, warmed up to Alexandra right away. The updates and photos were a wonderful touch, and it was clear that Alexandra genuinely cares about our lovely cat. We felt at ease knowing our cat was in such responsible hands! Thank you!”
“This was our first time meeting Diana. She showed up on time and the dogs immediately felt comfortable with her. She asked a lot of really good questions regarding the dogs care and comfort. We then took the dogs on a short walk and the dogs seemed to really enjoy being with her. We look forward to booking with her again.”
“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!”
About: Starting 3 years ago helping a now friend with his 3 cats during his medical crisis. Learning each personality playing with them sustaining some scratches and plenty of smiling. Other sits I've done looking after kittens and adult cats, fancy feast can require some refereeing at times. Night time activities are always entertaining too.
“Roni has stayed several times but this was a first for drop in visits. Roni kept me informed, kept the cats happy, and went beyond the requests to make sure they were taken care of. Thanks so much Roni!”
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: Hi! I’m Amy, a dependable and attentive dog lover who understands how important it is to find someone you truly trust with your pet. I have a senior dog of my own, Sammy, so I’m very comfortable with the routines, patience, and extra care that some dogs need, whether that’s slower walks, medication routines, or simply a calm and reassuring presence. I’m active, responsible, and love spending time outdoors, so I’m happy to tailor care to your dog’s needs, whether that means neighborhood walks, playtime, or relaxed companionship at home. I’ll care for your dog the way I’d want someone to care for mine: safely, lovingly, and with lots of attention to their unique personality and routine. My schedule is fairly flexible, and I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet care throughout the week. I do have a standing commitment on Monday and Wednesday mornings that takes me away for a few hours, but outside of that I have a lot of flexibility and can often accommodate a variety of schedules with advance notice. I prioritize safe, attentive, and individualized care for every dog. I take time to learn each dog’s routine, temperament, triggers, and any special instructions before providing care. I’m mindful of leash safety, secure doors and gates carefully, monitor for signs of stress or discomfort, and make sure they have fresh water, exercise, and a calm environment. I also understand that every dog is different, some want lots of activity and play, while others do better with a slower pace, extra patience, or a more structured routine. My goal is always to make dogs feel comfortable!
“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!”
“Nicholas did a great job caring for my cat while I was away! He showed a lot of care for her comfort and wellbeing, and great communication with me. It made me a lot less anxious and I really appreciate it.”
About: I have a balanced approach to cat care that combines careful attention to your instructions with an understanding that every cat has its own personality and routine. I don’t try to change your cat’s habits or become a replacement pet parent. Instead, I provide dependable care, maintain consistency, and engage with each cat in ways that match their comfort level, whether that’s interactive play, quiet companionship, or simply respecting their independence. I’m attentive to behavior changes, maintain clean litter boxes and feeding areas, and prioritize a calm, low-stress environment while you’re away. I am not a fit for cats with the following behaviors: Velcro or high physical touch/contact/proximity Display aggressive behaviors such as hissing, scratching, lunging, and biting Demand constant attention, food, play throughout the day Struggle with being alone for periods of time I do best with cats who are comfortable with a sitter providing attentive care while also respecting their independence and individual routine.

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!
“Hernan was the best! He was able to take my dogs within an hour of booking with him! He took such good care of them, they even got bandanas from a dog event he took them to! He was so kind and seems like he has a great setup for them in his apartment with a great patio!!! Will definitely be using him again! Thank you!”

About: 👋 Hi, we’re Brian and Bea! We’ve had dogs all our lives and have been primary doggie caretakers since we were kids. We both work from home, so your dog gets company, potty breaks, praises and attention all day! 🐕 We live with Amaru, our AKC Canine Good Citizen-certified Shiba Inu. If you know Shibas, you know they're independent, picky about food, and selectively deaf when it suits them. Living with one has made us patient with dogs who are slow to warm up or particular about their routine. Amaru is also very social, so your pups get a playmate and nap buddy as well! ❤️ We believe the bond between people and dogs is one of the sweetest things in life. Their time with us is never long enough, so we want to help them enjoy every bit of it and give them the same unconditional love they give us. ✍️ We'll follow your feeding, medication, and walk schedule exactly as written, keep your house rules, and send photo updates. We treat every dog here the way we treat ours: like our baby ♥️🫶 👫 We’re a work-from-home couple with a social Shiba, so pet care naturally fits into our daily routine. We’re available for doggy daycare visits on weekdays and Saturdays after 9am. Our workday breaks already revolve around Amaru (a quick walk, a game of fetch, or a few minutes of trick practice) and your dog would easily fit into that same rhythm. Evenings are dedicated to dog time, with plenty of walks, play, training, and couch cuddles. We’re also happy to follow your dog’s usual schedule for meals, walks, medications, and bedtime whenever possible. Our goal is to keep their routine familiar and comfortable, so they feel right at home while they’re with us. 🏡 We live in a spacious apartment with a big private rooftop deck, and Petco Park is just about a block away for walks. Dogs are welcome on the furniture and in every room of our home, so they can settle in wherever they’re most comfortable. 🐶 We like to start with a meet-and-greet so both you and your dog can feel comfortable before the stay begins. Amaru is very social and has never shown aggression toward a dog or person. He’s also famously picky about food (😩) so visiting dogs don’t have to worry about him being possessive over food. That said, we still feed dogs separately as a standard precaution and never leave visiting dogs unsupervised together. 📸 Our camera roll is already full of Amaru photos, so sending you regular pictures and updates of your dog throughout the day comes naturally. 🚨We’ll also collect your vet’s information and an emergency contact before the stay, and we’ll reach out right away if we notice anything unusual. Your dog’s safety and comfort always come first☝🏻!
“Natalie was Awesome! Her Fiancée Joe was super Awesome too! They are so kind and loving! Their home is lovely, clean, safe and cozy. She kept us posted with picture updates of our little son and gave our baby so much love! We give her and Joe 10 stars! Thank you both so much for all the love and caring to our little guy! 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”
“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!”
“Zannah was a kind and loving dog sitter for Tula! We were in town for a conference and needed help for a couple of hours during the weekend. Our 1-year old puppy ended up having a last minute, adolescent doggie event - and Zannah rolled with it in a patient and caring manner. She is very in-tune with dogs and respects them! Also - if you are staying downtown, she is in a very convenient location. I highly recommend her for your furry friends!”
“Melissa was very professional and took excellent care of Babe. She took her for walks and made sure she had ample opportunities to use the restroom. Her priority was that our baby was comfortable and well taken care of, thank you!”
“I would absolutely recommend Sandra to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. She truly treated Pluto like her own dog, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Alexandra was fantastic!! Great care taker, super responsive, very flexible on time (she accepted the job even tho i gave zero advance notice!). Plus she sent us pics of our dog proactively. Thanks Alexandra!!”
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.

About: Hi! I’m a 26 year old dog lover, grad student, and proud dog mom to my 6yr old doodle mix. I work part time as a SLPA at Rady Children’s Hospital while attending grad school, which gives me flexibility to spend time with your pups on Tuesday afternoons, Wednesdays and Fridays. I also have experience fostering through The Animal Pad, a local non profit organization. I’d love the opportunity to give your dog some extra love and attention while you’re away! Whether they need a walk, a potty break, some playtime, or simply a little company and cuddles. I know how much our dogs mean to us, so I’ll treat your pup with the same patience, care, and love I give my own. I’m excited to meet you and your furry family member ☺️🐾🤍 I work part time as a SLPA at Rady Children’s Hospital while attending grad school, which gives me flexibility to spend time with your pups on Tuesday afternoons, Wednesdays and Fridays.

“Very grateful for Monica, she took such amazing care of Violet and gave Gunther so much love and attention which I appreciate so much. Violet went on long walks and also started her heat cycle in the last few days of our trip, which Monica handled perfectly! Would definitely book her again and recommend her to care for your babies❤️❤️”
About: Hi there! I’m new to pet sitting on Rover, but I’ve been a lifelong dog lover! I’ve had my own Pomeranian names Simba for 10 years, so I know how special our furry friends are. Right now, I’m looking for a job, so I have lots of free time to give your pup the attention they deserve! I offer dog walking and daytime at-home sitting in Downtown and nearby areas, so your dog will have a buddy all day. I’m excited to meet your pup and keep them safe, happy, and active! Requested information about your pet I just ask to let me know in advance what NOT to do/say with your pet. For example, my Pomeranian gets crazy zoomies if you say ‘who’s there?’, he rushes to my front door, spins and bark and it till he will not get absolutely tired. I would also like to know all important details about your pet friendliness with other animals and humans, their health and of course your preferred Pet Hospital. I’m currently actively looking for a remote job in Tech so I have all the time in the world to spend quality time with you fluffy friend. As I have my own pup waiting for me at home, I am looking for more standard working hours I’m not able to host pets at my home, but I’m more than happy to stay at your place for multiple hours during the day. I’ll follow all your pet’s routines, instructions, and any safety measures you have in place. Just let me know your preferences, and I’ll make sure I follow them closely!
“Darya was awesome! Took our dog on a great walk and sent us some adorable pics of him. We greatly appreciate her accepting our last minute walking requests. Will definitely be a repeat client!”
About: Hi my name is Abby! I have cared for and been around dogs my entire life. Grew up mainly with Rotties, so I have a special love for big dogs. I also did pet sitting for neighbors on and off throughout high school and college. Earlier this year I also fostered a Husky for 3 months, my roommate at the time was able to adopt him so I still see him regularly when I visit her. I am very active and love to go on walks, runs, and even hikes with doggies. I currently live a very pet friendly building with a dog spa and a nearby dog park. I do not have any pets currently so this is perfect to make some extra bucks while I am in graduate school and get in some much needed dog time. I’m currently in graduate school, so my schedule has some flexibility throughout the week. I am available Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays. I also have time Tuesdays after 2pm. I’m happy to work with your schedule and can provide plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and companionship. I especially enjoy staying active with dogs through walks, runs, and hikes! I’ve cared for dogs my entire life and grew up primarily with Rottweilers, so I’m very comfortable and confident around big dogs. I’ve also pet-sat for neighbors throughout high school and college and recently fostered a Husky for three months. I currently have no pets of my own, and I live in a very pet-friendly building with a dog spa and nearby dog park. I prioritize each dog’s safety, comfort, and individual routine while making sure they get plenty of love, attention, exercise, and playtime.
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs for most of my life, and caring for them is something I truly love. I’ve also been dog sitting for family, friends, and neighbors here and there over the years, and during Covid, I would watch one of my close neighbor’s dogs for about a year. Now I’m excited to finally turn that passion into my job through Rover. My family has adopted rescue dogs from local shelters since I was 10 years old. Our first dog was Lucy, a sweet Chihuahua mix who completely stole our hearts. A few years later, we welcomed our sweet boy, Axle, into the family. Sadly, we lost both of them last March, but they’ll always have a special place in my heart. Today, I have two adorable little rascals who keep life fun! Fiona is our pit bull mix, and Rocky is our Chihuahua mix. Fiona was one of the most challenging dogs I’ve ever worked with, but with lots of patience, consistency, and love, she has come such a long way. Watching her grow has taught me so much about understanding each dog’s unique personality and needs. Every dog deserves kindness, patience, and plenty of love. I treat every pet as if they were my own, and I look forward to giving your furry family member the same care, attention, and affection while you’re away. I work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide loving, dependable care for your pets and extra loving attention. I treat every pet as if they were my own. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, reliable hands.
About: I’ve taken care of my extended family’s dogs whenever they go on vacation. I also have a senior dog and try to give him the best life I possibly can! I absolutely believe dogs are a human’s best friend and always treat every dog like my own! I currently work from home 7am-1pm, Mon-Fri. I’m available anytime after 1:30pm and available anytime during weekends! I would also be available weekday + weekend nights. I would have plenty of time to play with your pups! I would follow any specific instructions and will keep your fur baby entertained and safe. If you have a yard, I’ll make sure to play with them and give them the exercise they need with walks.
“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”
“Anita was wonderful with our golden retriever Cali. She took her for a walk every afternoon for a week. My husband and I were unable to walk her and she needed to get some energy out. Anita took her on some unusual pathways and long walks that Cali loved. She even brought her own golden to walk with Cali. Highly recommend!”
“Nicolas is just great w dogs. He has a way with our big Staffy that keeps her in check and she still has a great relaxed walk. If you need an all around good person watching or walking your fur babies, Nicolas is the guy. I’m so lucky our family and our dog has met him.”
About: I am innately an animal lover and advocate and will treat your pet as it were my own. I have been pet sitting for over a decade. I get super nervous leaving my own dog, so do everything in my power to ensure you and your pet are comfortable. From a young age, I was the kid that would come home with an injured wild animal asking my parents to help it. I grew up with a German Shepard and greyhound, and now have my own dog, who’s a pitty/boxer/cattle dog mix. I understand every dog has different needs and equipped to take care of high energy, intelligent dogs who need a lot of exercise and stimulation. I’ve taken care of small and big dogs as well as cats and bearded dragons. I’ve fostered dogs as well, so am familiar with anxious animals that need TLC and time and space to decompress. I’ve invested in training with my own pet that allows me to read body language well. I have been pet sitting for over a decade. I currently have open availability from early morning through evenings during the week and weekends. I do long walks every morning and evening and keep pets on a consistent feeding schedule. I typically aim to take pets on walks 3 times a day depending on the animal needs and client’s requests. I also ensure adequate playtime with toys and activities that are engaging. I am happy to drop in as often as needed for more anxious animals.
“Angela was amazing. She was patient and kind with our puppy while getting to know our Bailey at meet and greet. She was on time and spent time making sure Bailey was cared for and loved.”
About: My approach to pet sitting is based upon knowledge, compassion, communication and trust. This sets a peaceful tone for both the pet and their owner. I'm a member of PSI (Pet Sitters International) and have taken many courses including dog body language, pet sitting essentials and pet first aid. I have a Pet CPR Certificate from the American Red Cross as well. I enjoy pet sitting in the clients home where I can create a customized approach to caring for the needs of their pet and their owner. I also excel at dog walking. When walking your dog, I pay close attention to how they're interacting with the environment and always keep their health and safety as a priority. I look forward to working with you and your beloved pet! I am available 7 days a week 7am-8pm with over-nights being an option as well. I'm happy to work with you on finding the right schedule for the both of us. When caring for a pet in the client's home, I first learn the habits of the pet from the owner. This includes: their feeding schedule, medications needed, hiding places, their behavior toward people and other animals, potty habits etc. From there I create an environment of comfort for the pet making sure they are played with, fed, walked and rested. During this time, I stay in contact with the owner and update them with notes and photos of their pet.
“Kayla is an excellent dogwalker and was very attentive to Jonesy. She made sure he drank water after his walk and was mindful of the heat so he wasn’t out in the hot sun for too long. Highly recommend !”
“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 started by taking care of my moms 4 dogs when she would go on vacations and needed a dog sitter. That really taught me how to feed them efficiently and when to take them outside to go potty. From there I learned how to hang out with them and play with them efficiently. I am a college student with classes Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday I am available for the entire day and night. On Wednesday and Friday I'm available at night, Monday I'm not because I have a night class. Staying over night is not a problem, along with check ins during the days even on school days. I love dogs and am really good at feeding them, taking them outside, and playing with them. I'm not a trainer, but someone who is good at taking care of them while you are away. My mom has 4 small dogs so I'm very familiar with smaller dogs, but I have also watched bigger dogs as well.

“Joe took great care of my dog, Shamrock! He has a sweet dog named Callie. Callie and Shamrock became fast friends. Joe’s home is lovely and offers a secure yard for the pups to play. I highly recommend boarding your pup with Joe and Callie.”
About: I have a Mini Australian Shepard of my own who is 3 years old, whom I trained myself. He is very well behaved. Additionally, I’ve been a dog and cat sitter for friends and family over the past 5 years. My service will include lots of walks, love, and play time with your pet. I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available all day on weekends and on weekdays after 6 p.m. Although I live in an apartment, I do have access to 2 fenced dog parks across the street and I live close to Balboa park which makes for great walks!
“Kaitlin and her husband were great! They were flexible and gave me regular updates on how my pup was doing during his weeklong stay. Plus, their place looked well-equipped for dog-sitting with plenty of water, outdoor space, a doggy-door, and beds. Thank you!”
“highly recommend Zaira for your next trip! She is a very caring dog owner and sent lots of updates while watching Murphy and was very accommodating with pick up and drop off times. Her dog Malik is very sweet!”
“Chris and Shane were great to work with an d tok great care of our Dolly . Dolly loved staying with them . We will definitely be having her stay with them again . Thank you both very much”
“Michelle provided an amazing stay for our pup while we were out for a week. She was quick to respond, extremely flexible and provided great updates. If you’re looking for a dog sitter I highly recommend using Michelle’s services.”
“Kimberly is a regular in hosting Abbie and I’m almost ashamed at how excited Abbie gets to go for a ‘vacation’ to stay with her when I’m out of the area. She always takes the best care of Abbie and I know she’s in the best hands when she’s with her! On top of that Kimberly is super accommodating and this time around even offered to pick up Abbie from another Rover nearby for me when I had to leave for work a day earlier which she was unavailable for. I couldn’t recommend enough!”
“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!”
“It was our first time ever having our dogs stay at someone’s home vs going to a boarding facility. Jennifer and Donald were awesome with our 2 Weimaraners, who can be demanding and a handful. We got photos and sometimes videos on a daily basis, which helped put our minds at ease during our vacation over Thanksgiving. We could see that our dogs were getting great walks, being properly fed and in a loving environment. Jennifer and Donald were also very accommodating when our drop off time had to move up an hour early in the morning. All in all, we highly recommend them.”
About: As a pet owner, I want to know that my dogs are safe and happy while I am away. I know they become stressed with strangers and knowing that someone takes the time to make them feel at ease, going the extra mile to ensure their comfort makes all the difference. I will always treat your pet(s) like I would my own, which is more like family not simply a pet(s). I currently work the night shift so I am available for walks starting as early as 6am-6pm. I typically take my own dogs on 4 walks a day ranging from 15-30 minutes with an additional park time to let them simply be dogs and run to get out their zombies. I ensure a safe environment by securing hazardous items, preventing access to harmful substances, and creating a comfortable and familiar space for the pets. I follow the client's instructions regarding feeding schedules, food types, and water availability. I ensure fresh water is always accessible. I maintain a clean environment, including regular cleaning of food and water bowls, litter boxes, and pet bedding. I keep the client informed about the pet's well-being, any changes in behavior, or any concerns that arise. I provide pets with love, attention, and comfort, ensuring they feel secure and cared for.
“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.”
“Ben took great care of our dog! She got along great with his dog, Bodie, and they enjoyed time together on walks and around the apartment. We could tell our dog felt comfortable and enjoyed her time staying with Ben. Wonderful dog sitter and highly recommended!”
“Zannah & Doug are amazing host. They made our coco feel right at home from the beginning. You could tell they truly love dogs and want nothing but the best for our pup. Zannah was sending pictures and updates throughout the day, which I really appreciated. Especially after having to chase other boarders for picture and updates, I didn't even have to ask. We will definitely be booking them again, which we already have!”
“Gaby took really great care of our 10mo & 2.5yr old Shih Tzus. She kept in close contact & let us know how/what they were doing throughout each day she was sitting for us. She even snuck in a bath for each of them & we really appreciate the level of care she provided.”
“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!”
