“Verle and Kaitlin were great with my pup! They sent so many cute pics and daily updates and helped put me at ease knowing she was in good hands. Would definitely recommend and will rebook the next time we’re in need. Great communication and wonderful sitters!”
“Marwa was great with our rescue corgi. We were apprehensive about leaving our dog with a sitter so soon after adopting her, but as soon as we met Marwa our anxieties were eased. She was great about providing us photos, videos, and updates about our sweet girl. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again for our pet sitting needs.”
“Mark and his son were really awesome with our dog, Thor. We booked a 10 day stay, and Mark provided consistent updates on how Thor was doing. They walked him regularly and played with him often, and they have a great home with a back yard Thor could enjoy. I felt comfortable and confident leaving my fur baby with them!”
“Five stars! Cerita provided excellent care for our energetic dog. She makes a point to understand each of the canine personalities in her care, and has a great setup for managing them. She was also always very responsive and pleasant to deal with.”
“Ami treated my boys well and kept me updated as one of them was having trouble adjusting to a new location. I really appreciate her patience and graciousness in caring for the boys. They both came home healthy, happy, and worn out. I’d definitely recommend Ami to other pet parents.”
“Linda provided great care for my mini poodle for 6 nights. I was out of town and Linda sent email updates daily sent one video of her playing. The messages were reassuring that she was happy and safe. When I travel again I will definitely have Linda take care of my dog.”
“Naira was wonderful with my Todd! I felt so safe leaving him with her, so glad I was able to find a good babysitter for my fur baby on such short notice! Thank you so much Naira!”
“Ms. Pilar was beyond exceptional I really loved how she cared for my 2 dogs I came back a little later than I wanted to but she was very understanding about the situation. I received messages every day from her as well as photos of the dogs. She took them on lots of walks and provided love and care for them as they were her very own. I recommend her Kai is a lot more calmer since he has been home. I recommend Ms. Pilar to everyone she is the best and has a true love for the dogs in her care. Thanks Ms. Pilar we appreciate you Prince and Kai Miss you as well.”
“Mabel loved her time at Araceli’s! Araceli was very warm and welcoming to us humans, but to Mabel she was a dog’s dream host. There are toys, stuffies and balls galore. Mabel absolutely felt at home the second we walked in. Mabel was allowed to get on the couch and Araceli didn’t mind when water dripped off her mouth after drinking water. We knew immediately that Mabel would be in great hands and she was. We were happy to receive pictures and even a video of Mabel having fun. We will definitely use Araceli again. I know Mabel will be excited.”
“I am new to this site and I was so happy with the experience of leaving my big boy with these guys. It was like an all day doggie day camp. Waldo played with dogs and had the space to relax and sleep if he wanted. I got daily photos and communication. He is completely exhausted- he must have had a good time! I will use them in the future. They are great!!!!! ”
“Katelyn and Paul are the best! They took really good care of our boys while we were out of town! This was the first time that we left our boys with a sitter so we were a little nervous. We couldn’t of chosen a better couple! Katelyn and Paul are true dog lovers and we knew they would be in great hands. They also have a really nice and spacious backyard for dogs to enjoy. Overall a great experience! We will definitely use their services again in the future! ❤️?”
About: As a remote professional working fully from home, my schedule is stable, predictable, and highly flexible. I am a homeowner in a quiet San Diego neighborhood, featuring a completely enclosed, securely fenced private backyard. Because I work remote, your dog will enjoy a peaceful environment with constant companionship, regular potty breaks, and a calm space to relax right next to my desk (or in the yard with me) while I work. Our Daily Schedule: Morning: Early yard time, breakfast, and a little playtime before the San Diego sun gets too hot. Workday: Free-roaming access to my dedicated indoor home office and regular, supervised sunbathing sessions in the fenced yard. Evening: Dinner, a relaxing evening stroll and/or playtime in the yard, and plenty of couch time unwinding after the workday. To ensure a safe and peaceful environment, I only accept dogs that match the pace of my home. All guests must be fully house-trained and crate-trained. I only accept dogs that are friendly, low-anxiety, and comfortable around a calm household rhythm. I have two small chi-mixes that love to play and make new friends! A brief, 15-minute introductory "Meet & Greet" at my home is required prior to finalizing any booking.
“Highly recommend Trent! He recently took care of my dog, Momo, and did an incredible job. I was so grateful for his communication he constantly kept us updated and sent plenty of photos, so we knew Momo was in great hands and having a good time. Trent is reliable, caring, and professional. We will absolutely be booking with him again! When we are back in San Diego!”
“Gwen has helped us with our senior dog and is now helping us with our new puppy. She always takes good care of our dogs and they get excited when it’s time to visit again.”
“Kate was great with my little guy. He can be difficult, but she was able to get him to relax and have a nice time. I received frequent updates and photos which was great!”
“Shakyra did a great job taking care of Nemo! This was the first time Nemo had ever stayed away from me so Shakyra sent me lots of pictures to keep me at ease. I think this was much harder for me than Nemo! I would definitely book Shakyra again.”

“Sara did amazing job watching over our 3 cats, she had clear communication and was effectively able to notify us of any issues before they happened so we could make an actionable decision. She was available on short notice which we were extremely grateful for and had wonderful flexibility regarding time. Our 3 cats were will cared for, she reported back each day with multiple pictures and proof the litter box was scooped. She was also able to give one of our cats her medicine with little trouble. Overall 5/5 would definitely book her again and will probably on a short trip we have coming up.”
About: I’ve lived with cats since the day I came into the world! I’ve learned how to give them the space they need while still making sure they don’t create chaos. And of course I’m comfortable with cleaning out the litter and taking a scratch or two for some friendly playing :)
“This is our second time booking with Michael. He took very good care again of our three kitties. Home was clean and despite not asking him to he washed the pet dishes for us so that was nice. Thanks, Michael.”
About: I have over 8 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including raising and caring for my own Morkie since he was a puppy and regularly helping care for a family member’s Bernedoodle from puppyhood as well. My experience includes daily walks, feeding, bathing, playtime, administering medication when needed, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I have also completed numerous dog-sitting jobs for family friends, caring for pets while families were out of town and adapting to each dog’s individual routine and needs. In addition, I volunteered for 4 years at Pets in Need Animal Shelter in Redwood City, where I worked as both a dog and cat caregiver and helped socialize animals to prepare them for adoption. Responsibilities included cleaning spaces, feeding animals, providing enrichment and exercise, and helping animals feel comfortable in a shelter environment. I also occasionally volunteered during outreach events that provided pet care services for unhoused individuals and their animals in San Francisco. I have a very flexible schedule, so I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care throughout the week. I have availability during weekdays and weekends and try to be as accommodating as possible to each pet owner’s schedule. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, or sticking to a pet’s normal routine, I’m happy to provide dependable care and updates while you’re away. I care for pets with patience, attention, and a focus on making them feel safe and comfortable, whether in my home or a client’s home. I live in an apartment with a park directly across the street, making walks and outdoor time easy and convenient. I always try to follow a pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and any instructions from owners to help pets feel comfortable and cared for while their family is away.
“Victoria was great! Quick/easy to communicate, check ins were on time and as discussed, and she seemed to take great care of my cat while I was gone! I will use her in the future.”
“Brenda did a great job taking care of my two cats. She was prompt and professional. She played with them, brushed them, and attended to their daily needs. She even sent great photos!!”

About: Cats have been a part of my life forever, and I truly cherish every moment caring for them! I currently share my home with a sweet cat I fostered for several months before adopting. She was shy and cautious at first, so I patiently gave her the time and love she needed to feel safe and comfortable. I understand how special each cat is, and I’m dedicated to providing gentle, compassionate care tailored to their unique personality. With me, your kitty will feel loved, safe, and truly at home.

“This was my first time using rover and I will most definitely be using Adrian again in the future! The daily and detailed updates/photos gave me wonderful peace of mind that my cat was in great hands while I was away.

“Lexi was everything I could have hoped for and more! We have never left our two cats with anyone but family, but now have seven chickens in the mix, which is a tall order for anyone. Had she not been so perfect for the job we would have cancelled our vacation because I adore all 9 of our girls! She sent pics, updates, kept us in the loop, and I never for a moment worried about our gang of fur and feathers. She came by twice a day and genuinely loved our pets- you can see it in her eyes in the selfies with our chickens! So grateful we found Rover and most of all Lexi. We’re ready to plan more vacations now lol. Highly recommend her for any and all pet needs.”

About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats around the neighborhood for years. When our neighbors go on trips, they leave their pets in my care. In the past, I've gone to the beach, taken long walks, and helped with basic training. I am excited to meet all my new furry friends :) I am free any time, any day! 😁 I are happy to take care of your pet at any time. Your pet will be the center of my attention. I live in a fenced yard with plenty of space for your furry friends to run around. My home is quiet, and there's always someone around to be with your pet. I live in a safe, secure home, with lots of inside space to chill out.
“She's great. My dog has never been with anyone but family and she is able to comfort him. With my schedule changing, it is wonderful having her as a backup for work. Like I said, she's great.”

“She was so caring and attentive to my dog, and I love how she keeps you updated on everything. She was very accommodating given the fact that I had to drop of my dog really early for work. Would definitely recommend, I know I’ll be going to her for my pup.”
“Our dog Kobe loved his stay with Stormy, he had a blast playing with her pups and he was so happy and tired when we picked him up. I’d definitely take Kobe back here again :)”
About: Hi, I’m Michelle. I’m a longtime dog owner with over 16 years of experience, and I recently returned to Rover after taking a few years’ hiatus to care for our senior pup full-time. We recently said goodbye to our sweet girl, Mika, who was with us for 16.5 wonderful years. Caring for her taught us so much about patience, comfort, and the extra love senior dogs need. While we’re not quite ready to adopt again, we would truly love to share that love with your pup. My husband and I have a calm, dog-free home, which allows us to give your dog our full attention in a peaceful, low-stress environment. We have a special place in our hearts for senior dogs and those who may need gentler care, but we love pups of all ages. Your dog’s days will include two walks (adjusted for age and energy level), playtime or cozy downtime, treats with your approval, and lots of affection and belly rubs. I also provide photo updates and check-ins so you can feel confident your furry family member is happy and well cared for. My goal is simple: to make your dog feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away. A Few Things I’d Love to Know To provide the best care possible, please let me know: • Any special needs or medical considerations • If your dog experiences separation anxiety • Feeding schedule, diet, medications, or allergies • Their daily routine and energy level • Favorite comforts, routines, or quirks Important Note Extended stay: An additional $25 day rate applies if pick-up is over the 24-hour period. Your pup will get plenty of attention. We can go for walks and have some play time. Ofcourse (if your pet is older we will go for shorter walks) They’ll get treats and belly rubs. We have a patio with grass they can go potty anytime :) I have a cozy and fenced patio. They can sit and lay out by the sun. I also have a grassy area for potty breaks anytime the want.

I’m happy to crate your pets and even accept puppies.

About: I have owned dogs for a combined time of over 10 years. I enjoy walking them, playing with them, and cuddling with them. Over the summer I have a very flexible schedule as I am a teacher on summer break looking to make some extra cash. I am currently available most weekdays but not weekends. I am an early riser and love to go on walks. I’m looking forward to meeting your pup and spending time with them. I have a fenced back yard and one calm Great Dane/ Lab mix we adopted over a year ago named Danner. We do not have children or any other pets. I would treat your dog as I do my own, with love, care and compassion.
About: Hi there! My wife and I both work from home in College Area, so we are an ideal match for someone looking for a long-term solution to their dog walks/drop-in needs! Our house is 1 mile from the SDSU campus, and we walk our dog about 3-4 miles 6 times a week. We use Rover's app that will email/text you the details of your dog's walk/drop-in, including bathroom breaks, notes, GPS route tracking, and pictures. Dogs have always been a part of our lives, and having both been volunteers in the past, we're well aware of the balance needed for a dog to live a healthy DOG (not human) life. Providing our dog a balanced life is one of the reasons we adjusted our schedules at work, so we wouldn't have to leave Cabby all cooped up while we were gone for 9+ hours a day. We'd love to talk to you about your dog walking/drop-in needs, any questions you'd have for us, and of course to talk about your dog in particular. Rest assured, if there's someone who's going to love your dog like you would, you've come to the right place! About this sitter: We've always been the go-to dog sitter for family and friends. We've both also volunteered at different dog shelters in Michigan, Illinois, and California. Why I love dog sitting: My family got our first dog when I was just 2 years old. I've had at least one dog in my family ever since. Meet my pets: Brookie! See my profile for more information. I can take your dog for a walk and/or do a drop-in visit in the mornings, during lunch, or even later in the evening. I am happy to find a schedule that works best for you and that your dog is comfortable with. I am already very active and know the neighborhood, streets, and nearby parks very well. I walk a lot during the week as part of my regular exercise, and having your dog join me would make it that much more enjoyable.
“Kate was awesome. She responded right away during booking. She made this a great expetience for me. My dog was so happy to have stayed with Kate B. She was professional, kind and caring. Thank you. See you next time.”
“Melanie did a wonderful job watching my pup. She gave consistent updates and my pup was relaxed and appeared to be well rested when I picked her up which is the best thing I can ask for … I would definitely rebook Melanie!”

“Gabrielle was fantastic! Kept me updated throughout the day, sent pictures and videos, and took our dog on multiple walks. Absolutely recommend her and her sweet dog to take care of yours!!”
About: I have had a pet my whole life and even volunteered at the animal shelter having a strong passion for animal care. While volunteering I learned how to train pets, be a responsible, and responsive animal care taker. I have two dogs Toxi and Epsy, they are currently keeping my parents company as i recently moved out of my family home. I miss them dearly and love having pets in my home. I will give any animal the love and care as they are family. In my past I have cared for elderly, post surgery, and disabled dogs. I am very caring and would make any animal as comfortable as possible in any situation. I am studying for engineering certifications and have free time all week all day making me very available and willing to go on multiple walks throughout the day. My home has a gated area and pet welcome home with food and water bowls along with other dog essentials in my home like toys and treats. I have a gated front and back yard which are open for any furry friends coming into my home. I live in a very walkable neighborhood that can accommodate long walks.
About: I am a dog-lover with my whole life of experience in caring for dogs! I have had them in all shapes and sizes - my first two dogs being big German Shepherds to my last dog which was a little Maltipoo, and a few in between. I have potty trained quite a few dogs in my life, as well as helped them through their senior years. Most important of all, I will love your pets like they're my own children! I'm currently working part time from home so I have plenty of availability to take your pup outside for potty breaks or walks and give them attention throughout the day. I have a safe, fenced yard with plenty of room for sniffing and sunshine. I also have senior dog care items like a step to get on the couch. I have a long gate that can be made into a pen, and a cage for a small dog, if requested. Pets are family here - I have always allowed my own pets on the couch or bed and will do the same for yours unless you prefer otherwise.

“I am so thrilled with Sara! My pups are high energy and she really put them to work on their walk and provided so many updates! She went above and beyond just the walk and I know they had a blast. Will be booking her again!!”
About: I have two dogs of my own, a Great Dane and a Poodle mix, so I know firsthand how nerve wracking it is to hand your dog off to someone you don't know. I get it! I'm not just a sitter, I'm a dog owner who actually understands what you're trusting someone with. And as a Great Dane owner, giant breeds and big personalities are my comfort zone. No size is going to phase me! I run my own creative business, so my schedule is genuinely flexible in a way that most sitters can't offer. No 9 to 5 I'm working around. I can typically accommodate drop ins and walks at times that actually work for you, not just whatever's left in my day. I'm the dog mom who leaves a five page document for my own sitters, so trust me, no request is too silly. Special feeding routine? Weird little habit your dog has that you think "how will I explain this to the dog sitter"? I want to know. I'll follow it. And I always send photo updates so you're not just sitting there wondering how your pup is doing.
“Mike is amazing. He is extremely reliable and professional. My pup loves going on walks with him. I always get an update on her walk/activity for the day. Mike is always able to walk my pup during the times i need. ”

About: I was raised surrounded by animals of all kinds that brought me so much joy and knowledge. I’m comfortable with tiny insects to large farm animals. I’ve done bottle feeding and walks with young animals. I’ve moved from home but would love to continue caring for animals all around! I work in education so my summer is open for anything! Only my Sundays am I usually busy in the morning to afternoon. I’ll seek to meet your needs as best as I can! :) My services will cater to you and your pet’s needs! I’ll always want to read the room to know the pets needs, while ensuring I stick to their care-schedule and keep them fed, entertained, and well kept in a clean environment!
About: In addition to caring for my own lovely cat and senior pup, I have pet sat for friends and family members regularly for the past 10+ years. I have experience with fur babies with a range of quirks, behaviors, and medical needs, so I am prepared for anything that comes my way. I am a graduate student with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to spend caring for critters, especially during the upcoming summer break! I am very careful and safety-conscious, so you can be sure I will leave your home secure and comfortable for your pets when I visit.
About: I’ve had cats my whole life and currently have one of my own, so I understand the deep bond we share with our pets. I also have years of experience with dogs—walking, feeding, playing, and overnight house sitting. What truly sets me apart is the level of medical care I’ve provided. When my late cat became ill, I had to administer subcutaneous IV fluids and oral medications daily. That experience taught me not only technical skills but also patience, gentleness, and how to comfort pets during vulnerable moments. I’m confident handling medications, understanding pet behavior, and creating a calm environment for animals of all ages and temperaments. Your pet will be in loving, capable hands. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule to care for your pets with plenty of time, energy, and attention. I’m available for house sitting and drop-ins during the week, and on weekends. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or overnight stays, I’ll make sure your pet feels loved and cared for while you’re away! When I care for pets, whether in my home or yours, I treat them like family. I stick closely to your pet’s usual routines and preferences to ensure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m tidy, respectful of your space, and keep a calm, pet-friendly environment. I always prioritize their well-being, monitor behavior closely, and provide updates so you can feel confident and at ease while you're away.
“Aria has watched and cared for Sierra prior to me joining rover. She has done a great job communicating with me and taking care of Sierra. This included overnights and giving her a pill each day. She has a dog of her own named Millie who gets along with Sierra.”
About: I go beyond just walking dogs—I provide personalized care tailored to each pup’s needs. Whether it’s patience and gentle handling for senior dogs, basic training reinforcement for puppies, or extra playtime for high-energy breeds, I ensure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved. With experience in handling various temperaments and special needs, I treat every pet like family. Pet care is a big part of my weekly routine, and I make sure to dedicate plenty of time to it. I am pretty flexible during the weekend and available during most of the day during the week to provide care when needed. I prioritize reliability and flexibility, ensuring that every pet gets the love, exercise, and care they deserve At my home, I have a safe, fenced-in yard where dogs can play freely. For extra exercise, I take the dogs on walks or hikes. If a dog is crate-trained and their owner provides a crate, I know how to use it properly to ensure the dog feels comfortable and secure. Whether in my home or a client’s, I make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for, adjusting to their individual needs and routines.
About: I have owned dogs for a combined time of over 10 years. I enjoy walking them, playing with them, and cuddling with them. Over the summer I have a very flexible schedule as I am a teacher on summer break looking to make some extra cash. I am currently available most weekdays but not weekends. I am an early riser and love to go on walks. I’m looking forward to meeting your pup and spending time with them. I have a fenced back yard and one calm Great Dane/ Lab mix we adopted over a year ago named Danner. We do not have children or any other pets. I would treat your dog as I do my own, with love, care and compassion.
About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats around the neighborhood for years. When our neighbors go on trips, they leave their pets in my care. In the past, I've gone to the beach, taken long walks, and helped with basic training. I am excited to meet all my new furry friends :) I am free any time, any day! 😁 I are happy to take care of your pet at any time. Your pet will be the center of my attention. I live in a fenced yard with plenty of space for your furry friends to run around. My home is quiet, and there's always someone around to be with your pet. I live in a safe, secure home, with lots of inside space to chill out.
“Adrian was amazing! I needed a walk for my dog ASAP and Adrian was quick to reply! I am so thankful for her help. She took great care of my dog. I will defiantly be rescheduling with her again.”
“Michael is a huge help with our girl Nala! She is anxious and afraid of most people but took to Michael bc of his patience and experience. Thank you for getting Nala to come out of her shell more during her weekly walks!”
“Calynne has been walking my pup for the past couple of weeks while I’m at work and I’ve been very happy with my experience her with. My pup is always excited to see her. He can be a hand full but she definitely knows how to handle him and correct his behavior. I love that she was open to working with him on behavioral modification and mental stimulation in addition to her walks with Bear. I trust her in my home and with my pup. She’s amazing and will continue to request her for my pup’s walks.”

“Verle and Kaitlin were great with my pup! They sent so many cute pics and daily updates and helped put me at ease knowing she was in good hands. Would definitely recommend and will rebook the next time we’re in need. Great communication and wonderful sitters!”
“Mark and his son were really awesome with our dog, Thor. We booked a 10 day stay, and Mark provided consistent updates on how Thor was doing. They walked him regularly and played with him often, and they have a great home with a back yard Thor could enjoy. I felt comfortable and confident leaving my fur baby with them!”
“Five stars! Cerita provided excellent care for our energetic dog. She makes a point to understand each of the canine personalities in her care, and has a great setup for managing them. She was also always very responsive and pleasant to deal with.”
“Ami treated my boys well and kept me updated as one of them was having trouble adjusting to a new location. I really appreciate her patience and graciousness in caring for the boys. They both came home healthy, happy, and worn out. I’d definitely recommend Ami to other pet parents.”
“I am new to this site and I was so happy with the experience of leaving my big boy with these guys. It was like an all day doggie day camp. Waldo played with dogs and had the space to relax and sleep if he wanted. I got daily photos and communication. He is completely exhausted- he must have had a good time! I will use them in the future. They are great!!!!! ”
“Katelyn and Paul are the best! They took really good care of our boys while we were out of town! This was the first time that we left our boys with a sitter so we were a little nervous. We couldn’t of chosen a better couple! Katelyn and Paul are true dog lovers and we knew they would be in great hands. They also have a really nice and spacious backyard for dogs to enjoy. Overall a great experience! We will definitely use their services again in the future! ❤️?”
“Highly recommend Trent! He recently took care of my dog, Momo, and did an incredible job. I was so grateful for his communication he constantly kept us updated and sent plenty of photos, so we knew Momo was in great hands and having a good time. Trent is reliable, caring, and professional. We will absolutely be booking with him again! When we are back in San Diego!”
“Shakyra did a great job taking care of Nemo! This was the first time Nemo had ever stayed away from me so Shakyra sent me lots of pictures to keep me at ease. I think this was much harder for me than Nemo! I would definitely book Shakyra again.”
“Benny immediately gravitated towards Nick and we knew it was a good match. Nick expressed his love of dogs and it showed with the care he provided Benny. Nick was very attentive and kept us updated with Benny very frequently, providing pictures and videos of Benny enjoying his time with Nick. We also appreciated the feedback that Nick provided at the end of Benny's stay with Nick. Overall we are extremely happy with Nick and look forward to having Benny under his care in the future.”
“Thanks to Jason and family for caring for Molly. She loves staying with them and isn’t really that excited to see me🤪I appreciate having the ability to leave her worry free. And enjoy all the photos and videos Jason sends everyday.”
“I can't thank Mihaela enough for taking such great care of our dog. She was a great communicator and sent a lot of photos while he was in her care. She was also so kind and understanding when my flight was delayed and I had to pick him up later. Would love to have her watch our dog again. Thank you!”
“We felt completely at ease leaving our dog with Mark over the holidays. He made sure Apollo was comfortable in his home and was super accommodating to all his little quirks. Mark's communication was excellent, always quick and responsive, which we appreciated. We'd definitely book with him again and recommend him to other dog owners :)”
“We love Savannah! We have booked with her several times now and always love the care she gives to our pup. If you’re looking for a sweet and caring person to look after your dog definitely check out Savannah.”
“This was our second time leaving our dog when we had to go out of town and our second time using Raquel’s services. She did amazing with Everest and he seems happy and healthy. She gave us daily pictures and notes on how he was doing. Our flight had gotten canceled at the end of our trip and we had to drive from Virginia back to San Diego and Raquel helped us instantly and kept Everest for a couple extra days so we could make it back home. If you need to board your dog I definitely recommend Raquel!”
“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.”
“Had the best experience with the sitter! She was so kind, met up and did a meet and greet in a park so our dogs could get comfortable with each other, and she sent so many photos and even took my dog on a 2 mile hike. We already booked her for our two week international trip and I feel so relaxed that my dog is going to be in good hands!!! My go to person!”
“Scooby had an amazing time with Erika and her dog, Scrappy! They went on many adventures in the neighborhood and sunbathed in the yard. Scooby felt instantly comfortable with Erika and gave her kisses soon into her stay. Erika was very flexible with our schedule changes and we really appreciate it. I will use Erika in the future and would recommend her to friends!”
