“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!”
“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.”
“We had a great experience with Clint for a weekend of dog sitting for our cutie Joannie. This was a last minute booking and they couldn’t have been more accommodating. Great communication and a really safe, experienced and caring environment! We got loads of pics and videos of our pup having fun, playing with the other dogs and just being looked after well. Highly recommend and we will be using them in the future for sure!”
“I can't thank Carol and.Joe enough for taking care.of Mimi during my recent hip joint surgery. They were flexible with pickup dates and drop-off times due to surgery schedule. I was able.to.dropoff some of Mimi's fave toys and her pillow which l had forgotten. Mimi looked happy in the photos of her on her pillow that they sent me and videos of her energetic "sniff fests". When l was discharged they volunteered to bring over any groceries l needed when they brought Mimi back which meant a lot. Mimi bonded with Carol and was happy to see her. I feel confident and relieved knowing l can board Mimi with them when l need to. 5 🌟”
“Tyler & Joseph were wonderful. They took great care of my senior dog who is blind and has diabetes. They gave me daily updates on how things were going. I was able to full enjoy my vacation and put my worries at ease knowing my baby was in good hands.”
“Kate is amazing and really does go above and beyond! She was flexible with timing and was able to help with some last minute unexpected health issues. She provided me with daily updates and was prompt to reply anytime I asked her how my guy was doing. I highly recommend her for any of your dog care needs!!”
“Caterina was a great sitter and provided amazing updates on our dog Truffle while we were away. I had no doubt that she was in good hands and had the best weekend! I couldn’t recommend this sitter more.”
“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!”
“I get the best updates from Emily! She is very communicative about our dog and respects our medication routine for his seizure disorder. They take such great care of our dog and we will for sure be using them in the future 💞”
“I cannot express how grateful I am towards Ben! My boyfriend and I had a trip to Colorado planned, and 45 minutes before we were planning on heading towards the airport, our sitter cancelled. We were so so so stressed out trying to find a sitter so last minute, let alone a high quality sitter! We are so grateful we found Ben. Ben sympathized with us, accommodated us, and gave us such peace of mind on our trip. We got several daily updates of our dog playing in the water and going on walks. We truly could not have been more relieved that our dog was in his care. Ben is our new favorite sitter we’ve ever had!”
About: Hi there! I am Jordan. I currently live in Pacific Beach. I have about 15 years of experience with dog sitting and dog walking, and up until a few years ago I didn’t know a life without a dog in the house! I tend to be a go to dog sitter for my friends in the area and have experience as a foster as well. I don’t have much experience with senior dogs but am more than happy to help out if that is what you are looking for! It would be great if we could do a meet and greet prior to booking. This way we can make sure I am the right fit for your dog and I have all questions answered before their time with me. I work fully remote from my home in Pacific Beach. My schedule is flexible so I am open to working with you on a schedule that is best for your dog. My top priority when watching dogs is their safety. I will not leave the dogs unattended while playing (alone or with others). If there is not a fenced in yard, the dogs will only go outside on a leash. Dogs will be fed separately if they are not familiar with each other (exception being if there are 2 dogs in the family and they regularly eat together). You can also always count on your dog being safe with daily updates and pictures while they are in my care.
“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!”
“Jordan took great care of Eddie and communicated with me well, especially when he had a medical situation; she communicated with me and the vet while I was away.”
“Teresa was so great with Ricky! I could tell he was right at home with her. She sent me pictures and updates and was it such a pleasure to have her watch Ricky. I’d highly recommend her!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Nanako & Dustin were wonderful with my 18 year old geriatric dog! I received many updates thru out the day that allowed me to rest easy that he was happy and relaxed in his temporary home. The home was calm for him and he seemed completely at ease there; would not have happened at home with multiple dogs. I am so thankful that Nanako was super flexible as he is an early riser and woke extra early on the morning of Daylight Savings time very early; she handled him so well making sure he got his food and medication when needed with many walks mixed in. Thank you so much, I would definitely book with them again!”

“Julia couldn’t have been more amazing! This was our first time using Rover and she made the entire experience so wonderful. She was very communicative and sent pictures and videos of our little fur baby every single time she visited her! I will definitely be using her again and so happy that we found her!”
About: Hi! I’m a caring, responsible, and attentive cat lover who would be happy to take care of your furry friend while you’re away. I’ve lived with cats for the past 3 years, so I understand that every cat has their own unique personality, routine, and needs.

“Chiara was amazing! She booked with us super last minute due to our other sitter canceling and came right over for a meet and greet. Was super easy to work with and great with our kitty!”
“Luana was so amazing with our 5 cats while we were on vacation! We have 2 elderly cats that require medication, and one that pretty much just uses puppy pads instead of his litter box, so needless to say-- she had quite a bit of work to do! She was super friendly and also brought in all of my outdoor pillows and decorations in when it rained! She sent regular pictures and made us feel SOOO at ease! You can definitely trust her with your pets- they'll be in great hands!”
“Lilly was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly friendly and took the time to visit our home and get to know our cat before the booking. She was very attentive, gentle, and made sure our cat felt safe and comfortable. We really appreciated her thoughtful updates.”
“Julia was prompt, quick to respond, and Bao loved hanging out with her for the afternoon! She was communicative and is great with dogs. Will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Isa is wonderful! I’ve used her before through other services, and she’s always been amazing with my dog, Maggie. She’s reliable, caring, and truly goes above and beyond to make sure Maggie is happy and comfortable. It gives me such peace of mind knowing she’s in Isa’s hands. Highly recommend!”
“Annie house-sat for us and provided exceptional care for our cat during our vacation. Her remarkable patience allowed her to earn the trust of our extremely shy kitty, which is quite a feat. We were pleasantly surprised by the delightful photos and videos she shared of their daily activities together. I can wholeheartedly recommend Annie for your pet-sitting needs.”

“Caterina did an amazing Job. First time Rover user and she went above and beyond to make sure not only I felt comfortable, but also my GS. Lots of walks and activity through out the day. Love that they took my girl to the beach. Would highly recommend Caterina for any and all dog sitting needs. Thank you so much for making this a very special experience. - 3 days Doggy Day Car 9am-5pm”
“Oliver loved his time with Taylor and their dog Benny! I picked up a very happy and tired dog at the end of the day. Taylor was also very accommodating to my schedule and was a great communicator. You could tell she really has a soft spot for dogs and wants to do whatever she can to make them comfortable and happy! We can’t wait to use her again!”
“Kari was absolutely amazing . It was my first time doing doggy day care and I couldn’t be happier . He had a great time and she is so friendly and responsive . Highly recommend .”
About: I have spent my entire life surrounded by pets. My household has always had two dogs, and my family currently owns two AKC registered Golden Retrievers who compete professionally in scent work competitions. I’ve played a significant role in their training and development, giving me extensive hands on experience caring for and working with dogs. I’ve also lived with many cats and other dogs through roommates over the years, often becoming their trusted secondary caretaker and taking on full responsibility while my roommates were away. I have a deep love for animals, and my goal with Rover is to welcome pets back into my life and provide them with the same care and attention I would give my own, until I’m ready to become an owner again! I believe my life situation makes me uniquely well suited to be a great sitter! I work a fully remote engineering position on an east coast schedule, so my hours are 6am - 2pm Monday - Friday. This means that I am used to being awake early and would be able to be attentive to your pet early in the morning, doing things such as morning outings and daily routine care. I also then wrap up my workday early in the afternoon, leaving much of the rest of the day to give your pet undivided attention! Since I work remotely I will be able to spend every second of the day alongside your pet, whether it be at my own home or yours. I live right on the beach with access to many miles of coastal trails and multiple dog parks, and I would love to show your pet around the area. I also have a spare bedroom so if they need their own space to chill then they have that option as well.

“Took awesome care of my pup while I was at work, gave me updates and sent pictures. I have a doxie as well, so he got along great with her pups! Would definitely recommend again”
“Shannon is amazing! She’s so kind, welcoming, thoughtful, communicative, and truly wonderful with animals. I feel 100% confident and at peace knowing my pup is with her. My once cautious pup is now over-the-moon excited every time she sees Shannon. Shannon gets 6 out 5 stars!”
About: I’m available every day and experienced with dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I’m responsible, calm, and attentive to routines, making sure your dog feels safe and comfortable while you’re away. I enjoy outdoor walks, playtime, and keeping dogs active and engaged. I also provide frequent updates, photos, and communication so you can feel completely at ease. I’m available everyday and can be flexible for drop-in visits or overnight stays.

About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy giving dogs the attention, exercise, and care they need. I have experience raising and training a well-behaved Husky, an intelligent and challenging breed that requires patience, consistency, and plenty of stimulation. I live in a larger home with plenty of indoor space and a backyard where dogs can relax and play. I take my Husky to Fiesta Island twice a day for exercise, exploration, and plenty of attention. I’m happy to include your dog in those adventures if they’re comfortable around other dogs and enjoy an active routine. I also make sure dogs have plenty of downtime, affection, and supervision at home. I can accommodate different energy levels and routines, whether your dog loves to stay active or prefers lounging around the house. Swimming and baths are also available as optional activities for dogs who enjoy the water or need a cleanup. My goal is for every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely well cared for. I treat every dog like a guest in my home, not just a boarding reservation. Im self employed remote and am busiest in the mornings but I always carve out a couple of hours to get to fiesta island. Generally very available and accommodating. It's extremely rare that I'm not at fiesta island twice a day with my husky Miso Fenced yard with my Husky Miso. She loves playful friends but also cuddle buddies. She would love to open our home to more furry friends. If house sitting I can either bring Miso or leave her with my girlfriend at home. Miso can be a good leader on walks since she is trained as well
“Courtney is my number one choice for a dog sitter. She made sure my dog was cool in this summer heat. My dog came back a happy tired every day. Ali was happy to see her at every drop off. Courtney was able to take us in last minute and was communicating throughout my dog’s stay. Highly recommend Courtney for pups that thrive off one on one time, fun games and walks.”
“Marta was very accommodating to our last minute needs! She took great care of our dog, he had a great time! They went on multiple walks a day. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog with her :)”
“Kelsey is such a sweet person and gave me a lot of peace of mind when leaving my dog Cedric with her. She sent pictures and updates as well as built a rapport with me which gave me comfort as I’m an anxious dog mom usually! Cedric loves going to play with Kelsey and her sweet pup Kai. I always know he’s in good hands.”
“Octavia took such great care of our puppy, Bleu. This was our first time ever using this app and leaving him with someone else for care. We felt at ease as Octavia was so sweet and professional. She also sent us pictures periodically throughout the day which was perfect. We would definitely book with her again!”
“It was easy to tell how much Kelsey loves taking care of dogs. She was prompt in communicating and always proactive in making sure Pennie was happy and safe. I would recommend her to anyone and have already booked with her multiple times!”
About: Hi! I’m Yasmin, I work from home and I have my own little Pomapoo (see profile pic) that I’ve had for 5 years and counting! I’m currently working from home full time, so I’ll be able to give your pet lots of love, care, and attention with as many walks and treats you prefer. I live in an apartment with two other roommates who also love dogs so much. Happy to schedule meet and greets to ensure you and your pet feel safe

About: I have owned 6 cats in the course of my life (and two dogs as a kid). I love all animals! I have been dog walking since I was in elementary school for neighbors’ dogs. I have dog sat, cat sat—even rat sat! I have a lot of experience administering medications for cats. One of my cats was diagnosed with asthma at 6 and lived to be 19 with a daily inhaler! I have two small children and school and work part time so I will be cat sit between the hours of 9 and 3:30 when my kids are at school. I will feed, play with and medicate your cat (if needed)—I will change their litterbox daily. I have little kids so I can’t stay overnight.
“I hired Lauren to walk my dog after a last minute cancellation and she was so helpful! She replied very quickly and communicated with me throughout the week! She even came to meet Ari before hand and was very sweet! Will 100% be using Lauren in the future. Thank you Lauren!!”
“Hi Mitchell, thanks for taking care of Molly for my last-minute trip! Really appreciate it! I also want to give special thanks for resolving the issue this morning with the door lock. That's above and beyond! 👍🏼 John”
About: Hi, I’m Maddy! I’ve had dogs all my life and my mutt, Toby, is the prince of the house! We’d love to cuddle with your fur baby and take them for long walks on (or near) the beach while you are on your vacation! I’ve volunteered and worked a vet clinics over the years, but am currently going back to school to get my RN degree. I’d love to connect with some locals who love their pets and need a little additional support or care while my schedule is more flexible! Most days I am up from 6:30/7am-10pm. Monday-Wednesday I am at home all day, but I do work part time at a local coffee shop Thursday through Sunday (OB Beans). My shifts are generally 4-5 hours, so getting getting your pup active before and after my shifts are generally not a problem! I have a fenced in yard and a medium sized neutered boxer mix who will share the space. If needed, he is happy to hang out in solitude in the bedroom if your pup is timid with friends! I live a block from the beach and close to sunset cliffs, so a walk or likely even two are not uncommon- we can cater to your pace!
“Isa is fantastic! She is promt and communicative. I received multiple pictures of my dog, including some on his walks. He got into something and made a huge mess. Isa was kind enough to clean it up and make sure it was out of reach. Plus, my dog loves her! Excited to book her again.”
“Clare has exceptional communication skills and is incredibly kind and attentive to my dog. I’m eagerly looking forward to having her care for my dog again soon. I highly recommend her to others as well.”
About: I love animals and am doing this more as a hobby than to make money. I spent 3 summers working at a doggy daycare/boarding. I am the go to dog/cat sitter in my apartment complex, office, and with my friend group. I love to meet new furry friends! I have a very flexible weekly schedule with work. I usually make my own schedule. I work fully remote two days a week and am off by 3 on Fridays. No work and completely flexible Saturday and Sundays! I care for pets by following their established routines and providing attentive, compassionate care tailored to each animal’s needs. I believe it’s important to treat every pet as my own!!
About: Grew up with dogs all of my life and have watched multiple dogs in the past. I am open to walks, drop-ins, house sitting, or anything else you may need to keep your pet happy. I work from home with a very flexible schedule, and would be able to drop by to house sit or walk a dog multiple times a day if needed. I live in a very spacious house right near the bay and can easily walk dogs around my neighborhood. I often have dogs stay at my home because it is so easy to take them out or have them wander around the house.
About: Hi! I’m Morgan, a lifelong animal lover at your service for drop-in visits, walks, and pet sitting. I grew up with cats and dogs and I’m comfortable with all breeds and sizes. I’m attentive, communicative, and only want the best for your pet. I have experience administering medication, preparing specialty food, walking reactive dogs, and caring for timid kitties. I live in PB with my seven year old cat, Beau! I WFH and have a flexible schedule. I prefer to schedule pet care in advance so I can make caring for your pet a seamless part of my schedule. I don’t offer pet care in my home due to my timid cat, but I’m more than happy to pet sit in yours! I’m clean and respectful of your space.

About: I've loved dogs for as long as I can remember and have years of experience caring for pets for friends, family and neighbors. People trust me with their pets and their children because I am responsible, gentle and attentive. I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like they are my own. Im currently a stay-at-home mom, which allows me to have a consistent and flexible schedule. I'm available for dog walks between 9am and 3pm on weekdays, and I also offer overnight boarding. Being home during the day means your dog will get plenty of attention, care, and companionship. My home is a safe, calm, and welcoming environment for pets. I have a large, fully fenced yard where dogs can play, explore, and get plenty of fresh air. I also have one very friendly male dog who loves the company of other dogs and helps them feel comfortable. I understand that every dog has different needs, so I do have a crate available and can provide a private, quiet space if your pet prefers their own area. My goal is to make every dog feel secure, loved, and at home while they’re in my care.
About: From one lab, to two goldens, and most recently two small dogs, I’ve grown up with many dogs. I have also pet-sat for family and friends. I’m an acclaimed dog person and I’m eager to help care for your furry friend. I work from home, so I am available to pop in to walk your dog during the day and on weekends if you need someone to care for your dog. I share my apartment with a roommate, so unfortunately I cannot care for your dog at my home but I’m more than happy to stop by or stay at your home. Whatever the preference, I will make sure your dog is happy, healthy, and safe!
“Jelena was responsive, friendly, punctual, and a good communicator during this process. It was a somewhat last-minute holiday weekend request, she handled everything great. Would definitely re-book with her.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Dricks was amazing! Super timely, communicative, and so good with our two big dogs who can be strong pullers on the leash. He went above and beyond to make sure they got a great walk and came home happy and tired. We’d absolutely rebook with him again if given the chance! Highly recommend!”
“Brittany has been taking my new pup on walks and mid day outdoor play time, the older dog loves the extra outdoor time too. She has come last minute when needed and all of my pets love her. She is consistent and communicates with me after every visit letting me know how they are and if there are any concerns or funny stories about the girls.”
“Juliette is great! She was able to accommodate a last minute request, is communicative, and managed a successful walk with our sometimes stubborn fur babies. We’ll book her again and recommend her services.”
About: Aside from growing up (literally) with 2 cats who lived to the age of 20, I was the neighborhood pet sitter growing up! Whether it was dog, cats, amphibians, bunnies, hedgehogs and occasionally horses, I was booked and busy loving on all the fur babies. I also have previously worked in a vet clinic for 2 years during college and comfortable administering any medications as needed. I work from home as a social media manager. I create my own hours with the occasional meeting so that means your fur baby will have my full attention. I routinely walk to the beach in the morning and grab coffee which they can join me on (1-3 miles round trip depending on their love of walking) plus regularly get outside to stretch my legs and get some vitamin D! All of which they would join me on I live just a couple blocks to the bay where we can play and throw the ball or there’s a few fenced dog parks near me as well if they’re still working on recall! If your fur baby isn’t comfortable around other animals I will respect that and we will find other activities to do to keep them stimulated!
About: I’ve always loved animals and grew up walking dogs and spending lots of time with pets. I have experience caring for a dog who requires daily medication, as well as my own senior cat who needs a little extra care and attention. I’m comfortable with different personalities and needs and will make sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and comfortable while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and can easily make pet care part of my daily routine. I enjoy getting outside for walks and spending time with animals, so I’m happy to fit in walks, drop-ins, or house sitting throughout the week depending on what each pet needs. I have a cat of my own who I care for every day, so I’m used to keeping up with a pet’s daily routine and needs. I make sure he has everything he needs, from food and fresh water to attention and extra care as a senior. In a client’s home, I’d follow their pet’s normal routine and instructions closely while making sure they’re comfortable and cared for.

“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!”
“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.”
“We had a great experience with Clint for a weekend of dog sitting for our cutie Joannie. This was a last minute booking and they couldn’t have been more accommodating. Great communication and a really safe, experienced and caring environment! We got loads of pics and videos of our pup having fun, playing with the other dogs and just being looked after well. Highly recommend and we will be using them in the future for sure!”
“Tyler & Joseph were wonderful. They took great care of my senior dog who is blind and has diabetes. They gave me daily updates on how things were going. I was able to full enjoy my vacation and put my worries at ease knowing my baby was in good hands.”
“Kate is amazing and really does go above and beyond! She was flexible with timing and was able to help with some last minute unexpected health issues. She provided me with daily updates and was prompt to reply anytime I asked her how my guy was doing. I highly recommend her for any of your dog care needs!!”
“Caterina was a great sitter and provided amazing updates on our dog Truffle while we were away. I had no doubt that she was in good hands and had the best weekend! I couldn’t recommend this sitter more.”
“I get the best updates from Emily! She is very communicative about our dog and respects our medication routine for his seizure disorder. They take such great care of our dog and we will for sure be using them in the future 💞”
“I cannot express how grateful I am towards Ben! My boyfriend and I had a trip to Colorado planned, and 45 minutes before we were planning on heading towards the airport, our sitter cancelled. We were so so so stressed out trying to find a sitter so last minute, let alone a high quality sitter! We are so grateful we found Ben. Ben sympathized with us, accommodated us, and gave us such peace of mind on our trip. We got several daily updates of our dog playing in the water and going on walks. We truly could not have been more relieved that our dog was in his care. Ben is our new favorite sitter we’ve ever had!”
About: Hi there! I am Jordan. I currently live in Pacific Beach. I have about 15 years of experience with dog sitting and dog walking, and up until a few years ago I didn’t know a life without a dog in the house! I tend to be a go to dog sitter for my friends in the area and have experience as a foster as well. I don’t have much experience with senior dogs but am more than happy to help out if that is what you are looking for! It would be great if we could do a meet and greet prior to booking. This way we can make sure I am the right fit for your dog and I have all questions answered before their time with me. I work fully remote from my home in Pacific Beach. My schedule is flexible so I am open to working with you on a schedule that is best for your dog. My top priority when watching dogs is their safety. I will not leave the dogs unattended while playing (alone or with others). If there is not a fenced in yard, the dogs will only go outside on a leash. Dogs will be fed separately if they are not familiar with each other (exception being if there are 2 dogs in the family and they regularly eat together). You can also always count on your dog being safe with daily updates and pictures while they are in my care.
“Teresa was so great with Ricky! I could tell he was right at home with her. She sent me pictures and updates and was it such a pleasure to have her watch Ricky. I’d highly recommend her!”
“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.”
“Nanako & Dustin were wonderful with my 18 year old geriatric dog! I received many updates thru out the day that allowed me to rest easy that he was happy and relaxed in his temporary home. The home was calm for him and he seemed completely at ease there; would not have happened at home with multiple dogs. I am so thankful that Nanako was super flexible as he is an early riser and woke extra early on the morning of Daylight Savings time very early; she handled him so well making sure he got his food and medication when needed with many walks mixed in. Thank you so much, I would definitely book with them again!”
“Third time with LeeAnn! She always takes such great care of Zoey and sends frequent pictures and videos. I was gone for 2 weeks and did not have one worry while I was away. Highly recommend LeeAnn!”
About: Aside from growing up (literally) with 2 cats who lived to the age of 20, I was the neighborhood pet sitter growing up! Whether it was dog, cats, amphibians, bunnies, hedgehogs and occasionally horses, I was booked and busy loving on all the fur babies. I also have previously worked in a vet clinic for 2 years during college and comfortable administering any medications as needed. I work from home as a social media manager. I create my own hours with the occasional meeting so that means your fur baby will have my full attention. I routinely walk to the beach in the morning and grab coffee which they can join me on (1-3 miles round trip depending on their love of walking) plus regularly get outside to stretch my legs and get some vitamin D! All of which they would join me on I live just a couple blocks to the bay where we can play and throw the ball or there’s a few fenced dog parks near me as well if they’re still working on recall! If your fur baby isn’t comfortable around other animals I will respect that and we will find other activities to do to keep them stimulated!
About: I have loved dogs my whole life! I grew up with lots of pets and we have a dog who loves doggie friends. I have 2 sons, 13 and 15 years old who also love pets. Your dog will get lots of attention and company in our home! I don't work so I'm very flexible in providing the care your dog needs. I walk my dog 3 times a day so I'm happy to add another buddy to our exercise routine. I have a fenced yard and my dog usually has access to go in and out as she pleases and gets multiple walks a day. Depending on the dog and care instructions dogs could have the same access.
“Lemon had the best time staying with Mari while I was away! I had total peace of mind knowing she was being cared for by someone who treated her like her own. Mari sent lots of pictures and videos throughout her five day stay, which I really appreciated. I will definitely be using her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter! 🐾”
“Hollyanne and Donovan and amazing! They are so kind, responsive, flexible and excellent caretakers. I knew my pup was happy and having a great time. Their pups are also so sweet. Thank you for taking such great care of my boy!”
“Alegra is fantastic and took such great care of our Jackson over the weekend when we were out of town! We are so thankful to have found her. Super kind and communicative, we knew Jackson was in great hands. Couldn’t recommend her enough!”
