“Having the peace of mind knowing our sensitive pup Sophie was in kind and patient hands is invaluable. Thank you, Cori and Chris for taking such good care of our girl. 🐶”
“Nina was fantastic. She cared for Winnie while we took a short vacation like she was her own dog. Winnie got regular walks and spent time sunning herself on the balcony. Winnie enjoyed Nina's quiet and clean condo., with a view of lake. We would definitely use Nina's services in the future. My daughter really appreciated the many pictures Nina sent us. Nina was also very responsive whenever we contacted her to check in on Winnie's status. Overall, this was a great experience.”
“Perfect spot for Azuki to relax for a few days while we were out of town. It felt like he was getting his own little vacation. Very good communication and lots of photos.”
“This was Rosie's first ever boarding outside our house and Hana made Rosie's visit stress-free. Hana was very responsive to my booking inquiry and welcoming when we visited to meet her in advance of booking. Hana sent photos and videos during the stay and I felt very comforted knowing Rosie was in good hands. I would definitely book with Hana again. Thanks, Hana!”
“Tiffany and Calvin were great! Super communicative and responsive, they sent lots of pictures of Nia during her stay there. Would definitely have Nia stay with them again :)”
“We have been searching for someone to watch our pup that was closer to home, knew how to handle big dogs and would be a good fit for our ball of energy! Cameron is so good with Mia, and she has gone to stay twice now! She loves playing with the other dogs, and their property is perfect for all day play and fun. Cameron also sends several videos and photos while we are away, which really eases our hearts and minds about being away from our pup! I can’t say enough good things! Highly recommend!”
“Margaret was an amazing care taker of our 2 dogs while we were out of the country. She kept us informed with pictures and updates daily. She even scheduled several playdates with another dog which made them smile. I would highly recommend her to watch your dogs. We will use her again. We were so grateful to find her on short notice.”
“Annie & Ty are amazing! Your dog will feel home with them. Their care for our dog was above and beyond. If they’re available, book them, don’t hesitate!”
“We couldn't be happier to have found May! As is our mini Bernedoodle, Zoey, who clearly had THE best time while at May's house. May was absolutely wonderful in sending daily updates and photos, which I really appreciated seeing while out of the country, and it was easy to see just how well taken care of Zoey was. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend May and we will for sure be back!”
“Scott and Lori were amazing with our frenchie Wally and communicated with us daily while we were on vacation. It was so great to see photos and videos while we were away; it really made us feel like our dog was in great hands all week. They also went above and beyond and took Wally to the beach not once, but TWICE in the same week and he loved it!! Thank you for the best boarding experience! I think our dog missed Scott and Lori after we picked him up from his "stay-cation", so that says a lot about his stay in their lovely home. We don't take many vacations but are looking forward to having him stay with Scott and Lori again next time!!!”
“Eden was absolutely wonderful. She took care of my pups while I was out of town and made them feel loved and comfortable. She consistently kept me updated with photos and videos. I would definitely book with her again.”

“Marley had a fantastic time with Jenny! She was great about sending lots of pictures and videos so we always felt in the loop. He got lots of trips to the dog park and enjoyed playing with her dog Lucky. I know he’s already looking forward to his next visit with her!”
“Very happy with our experience. Our dog had a great time with Ryan's family. Ryan was easy to communicate with and he was very accommodating when our travel plans changed unexpectedly at the last minute and we had to extend the boarding for a few days.”
“Our dog had another great stay with Dustin! He sent so many photos of her throughout each day, and videos too, and it was clear our dog was having the best time! His photos were excellent quality, by the way - he really has a knack for photography. She was happy and busy with the family dogs. She played ball, had tummy rubs, played with the family dogs - a perfect doggy vacation. She is always so excited to go to Dustin's house. We already have more dates booked with him!”
“Holly was an amazing sitter for Hazel. I received regular pupdates with pictures and in every single photo Hazel looked absolutely comfortable and happy with Holly, her home, and her family (including her 2 dogs). I feel 100% confident and comfortable using Holly’s services in the near future and would recommend her to anyone.”

“Sam did an amazing job watching and walking my dog while I was on vacation. She kept me updated, was super reliable, and made sure my dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time I would absolutely trust her again!”
About: My first pet ever was a beautiful female Chartreux cat named Moky whom was absolute pure love and joy 🥹 She taught me how to love unconditionally and after 18 beautiful years she passed in early 2018. I also owned a majestic adorable little trouble making Male ORANGE American Short Hair cat (pictured) whom lived up to the reputation of orange cats 😂 I loved him so unconditionally and he also sadly passed after 16 beautiful years! I am very flexible and knowledgeable/comfortable with cat sitting, cleaning, nursing, and all things cats!! The Egyptians worshiped cats for a reason and they will always have a special place in my heart!
“Yangyan was very pleasant to deal with and clearly loves cats. We got regular updates and photos and my cat was treated with much kindness. I strongly recommend Yangyan and will use her services again !”
“Avery was amazing! I booked her for my newly adopted cat, and additionally it was my first time leaving her alone, and Avery's patience with her shyness and fear was truly amazing. She got her to open up and come out of her shell, which I didn't think would happen, and took care of her in exactly the way I asked. Truly couldn't have been a better experience. Highly recommend!”
“My (usually very shy) cat loves coming out to see Dinara, and even plays (which he doesn't do with any other sitters)! I love receiving the pics and videos - knowing that my baby is safe and happy and in good hands while I'm away. Dinara is a cat whisperer!”
“Those kitty must really be fond of you Jeanine. They don’t let anyone come around them. I’m so glad you’re there to take good care of my babies bye-bye. I really appreciate the help!”

About: I have taken care of pets of all ages since I was 12 and loved every minute of it! Neighbors, friends, and family members have all trusted me with their pets and in their homes for walks, play dates, and even house sitting/pet sitting for month long periods at a time. I have lots of experience with puppies, senior pets, and other pets that require around the clock medication or special attention. I make sure I’m punctual, organized, caring and fun loving for the good of you and your pet! I’d love to be the next friend for your furry family member :) I have plenty of time to play and care for your pets! My hours of availability are pretty flexible as I work remotely and am self employed. Within the client’s home I am very respectful of the client’s belongings and will make sure your fur baby and I can have lots of safe and fun playtime either outside in a yard, on a walk, or within the home. During walks and playtime I can give your pet more leisurely activities or more active games depending on what is best for your pet!
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, various breeds from beagles to goldens, labs, and American bulldogs, Golden retrievers and Huskies. I grew up on a small farm in Ohio, where my parents entrusted my sister and I to look after all of our animals. I’m currently working part-time, which leaves me with plenty of time to look after your pet, whatever your needs may be. I think that structure is important for pups, I will be sure to put your mind at ease while caring for your pets by allowing as little disturbances to their routine as possible. My dogs are loved and respected in our house. We are constantly having fun and learning new things. I enjoy teaching fun games and watching them learn in real time!
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience being around animals of all kinds and my genuine love for caring for them. From dogs and pigs to chickens and ducks, I’m very comfortable handling different personalities, routines, and needs. I started pet sitting for neighbors and family friends in high school, and over the years I’ve gained hands-on experience with walking, feeding, bathing, overnight care, and making pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I truly enjoy spending quality time with animals, whether that means energetic playtime or relaxing cuddles on the couch. I currently work full time Monday to Friday, but I have the flexibility to leave should I need to do a drop by throughout the day. I currently provide care in my client’s home, where I make it a priority to not only care for your pets, but also respect and maintain your space. I carefully follow all instructions and routines to ensure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Communication is very important to me, so I will always reach out with any questions or updates to make sure your pets receive the best care possible. My goal is to leave both your pets happy and your home just as clean as when I arrived.
“Michelle was amazing! She was super attentive and clearly cared so much about my pets. She kept me updated and sent the cutest pictures, which made me feel really comfortable while I was away. I could tell my babies were well taken care of and happy. I would definitely hire her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter :)”
“Cristen watched my two cats while I was out of town and was great to work with! Her energy is very gentle and she immediately felt trustworthy and nurturing. One of my cats has some special medication needs and Cristen showed up exactly when she needed her meds and also handled the whole process wonderfully. She gave very comprehensive and sweet updates and it was clear she really cared about providing good care for my girls. She also has a great sense of humour and the updates made me laugh ? will definitely be working with Cristen again”
“Catherine and Nicholas went above and beyond for our two cats. Our five year old cats had never been at a different place and they hate car rides probably because they associate them with going to the vet. Unfortunately, my kitties pooped in their carriers on the way to drop them off :(. I was mortified, but Catherine and Nicholas helped us take care of the mess; Catherine immediately gave the cats a bath/rinse and gave our kitties some treats and comforted to put them at ease. Throughout the stay, Catherine and Nicholas sent us pics and videos and plenty of updates on the cats. I can tell Nicholas and Catherine love animals and know what to do to keep them safe and make them feel as comfortable as possible. I couldn’t be happier with the way they handled everything. My husband calls them the cat whisperers. I would trust them again with my babies. ?”

“Booked the night before and she answered right away amazing experience my pup seemed to have a great time got picture updates on how she was doing without even asking Awsome experience and very reasonable pricing”
“As a mom of a toy senior fur baby who’s almost 17, it’s always worrisome when she’s not in my care with her growing list of health issues and how fragile she is. But luckily I found Eden who is amazing and has the kindest, most loving energy! Her love for dogs is apparent and shows in how she cares for both her own and mine. ❤️ She carefully asked all the appropriate questions, gave me a tour of her place (along with a separate living area perfect for small dogs; connected to a dog door and outdoor dog run) and updated me throughout the stay with pictures and quickly answered any questions I had. Thanks again Eden, you’re a lifesaver and I look forward to future bookings with you! 🐶 ❤️🫶🏻”

Your doggie’s comfort and happiness will always be my top priority! 🐾 I work from home and sometimes hybrid, so my schedule is very flexible, so I’m happy to meet your pup whenever works best for you.

I am also a portrait photographer, and you may see the best photos ever taken of your dog during their stay. I send photos and videos of their activities daily. I will have other dogs here, frequently they make friends. I am here full time and supervise everything, nobody gets bullied. We spend a lot of time in the yard throwing balls encouraging activity. We are up for first potty at 5:30. Open door hours 8 am to 8 pm. I have quiet hours for my neighbors so they don’t complain. If your travel involves early departure, please request booking start for the day before. All first time clients come for a meeting before confirming a stay. Shots must be current. Boarding agreement required. I look forward to meeting you! I'm home full time, and used to waking around 5:30 am to let the dogs out.

Bedtime preparations begin around 9 and they get settled for the night by 10 pm. Evening pickups are limited to 8:30 pm out of consideration to my neighbors. When a dog leaves, the others bark like crazy. I am trying to preserve my relationship with my neighbors and not get reported to my HOA... I have a fenced back yard with double fence to the gate, and my kitchen and family room is separated by gate from the rest of the house. I also have a smaller gated area at the patio door which helps control excited eating during feeding time by separating dogs. The dogs have supervised run of the kitchen and family room and backyard, and my cats do not come into the dog area (closed off by doors-kitchen/family room) they have the rest of the house. There is a pool in my backyard but few dogs care. . There is a grassy runway around the side and back of the yard to play chase and ball. The fence is reinforced with rabbit fencing to prevent escape. Gates are closed at all times. Dogs are fed spaced far enough apart to prevent resource guarding and speed eating in order to steal their neighbor's food. Fresh water is available in multiple locations at all times. In person meet and greet is requested to confirm a booking.
“We entrusted our dog, Yuki, to Mayank through the Rover app, and we had an excellent experience. They took our dog on walks, ensured he got plenty of exercise, and played with him. Yuki was really happy during his stay. I highly recommend Mayank and his family for anyone looking for dog-sitting services.”
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is the deep love and respect I have for every animal in my care. I cared for my cat for 16.5 wonderful years and now share my life with a sweet 4.5-year-old dog, so I truly understand the emotional bond we have with our pets. I’m experienced with both energetic pups and senior pets who need a gentler touch. I’m comfortable with administering medication, helping with puppy training basics, and providing tailored attention based on your pet’s age, temperament, and needs. Your pet will be treated like family—with patience, play, and lots of affection—because I know that’s what you’d want while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I currently work as a per diem healthcare professional. This flexible schedule allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for. I only accept bookings on the days I’m not scheduled at the hospital, so your pet will always have my full focus. Whether it’s a long walk, cuddle time, or keeping up with their feeding and medication schedule, I’m committed to making your pet feel safe, loved, and cared for. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in yours, I strive to create a calm, loving, and safe environment that matches your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible. I pay close attention to their needs—whether that’s sticking to their feeding schedule, providing playtime, administering medications, or simply giving them comfort and companionship while you’re away. In your home, I treat your space with the utmost respect and keep things clean and organized. I always follow your instructions carefully and send regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. At my home (if applicable), your pet will have a cozy, relaxed atmosphere, plenty of affection, and one-on-one attention. I only take in pets I can give full care to, and my own dog is friendly and well-socialized.
“Odie, Bubble and Pippa just had a half-day trial day with Annie and Ty and their two girls and everything went fantastic!

I feel very lucky to have found a home away from home that all three of my dogs eill enjoy visiting. More stays to come!”
“Shadow had the best day ever at Daycare today! We will use her over and over again. Thank you so much for the pictures and videos… we could really see all the fun he was having. Thanks again for taking such good care of Shadow. We will be back 😊”
About: Hi there! Cats and dogs are my world, so I’ve decided to lend you a helping hand. I currently own an 80 pound Bernedoodle and am no stranger to hard work. I marvel at the pesky little behaviors our fury friends display. If you have a need, let’s chat! I’m sure we can work it out. I have a very light schedule and I am super flexible. Available every day during the week with your specific hourly or daily needs. I can do drop in visits, daily walks and sit-ins. I am a huge walker! If your pet likes walks we are even. Can also work with yards and clean up after, if preferred. Let’s chat!
“Hanna is great. My dog Zeus stayed with her several times now and each time he was completely relaxed and happy when I picked him up. He tends to be skeptical of strangers and stressed out by daycare, but not with Hanna. He gets to play with her dog Bigsby, plays with toys, solves puzzles, goes for walks and eventually snuggles on the sofa when he is tired. Hanna deeply cares about a dog's needs.”
“Calvin and Tiffany took great care of Lola. They gave us lots of photos and updates and could tell Lola had a great time with them. They are super nice and communicative.”
About: Dog owner I have a 7 year old dog that gets along with other dogs. Also 2 young kids so pup has to be good with kids. I am home so will be able to walk and feed dogs as frequently as necessary. I typically walk my dog 1x / day . I walk and feed the pets and the kids like to interact with the dogs too. We have a fenced in backyard that dogs love to play in.
“Gris is an exceptional dog sitter! Her sweet nature and excellent communication made our experience worry-free. Despite our slight delay in returning, she was incredibly understanding. Gris treated our furry family member with the utmost care and affection, as if our pup was her own. Her attentiveness and dedication have earned our trust completely. We're thrilled to have found such a reliable and loving sitter in Gris, and we look forward to having her as our go-to dog care provider for all future needs. Highly recommended!”

About: Hello and welcome to ADVENTURES WITH BEAN 🌄 My name is Becca and am a San Diego native who has been exploring the world with my dog/best friend, Stella Bean We are very friendly, active, and have lots of love to give. In my home I believe in treating our guests as family, so that means all furry friends and humans are treated with the same love, kindness, and respect as the next 🌈.Our home is small and comfy but we have a large yard for any size dog to play around in. Taking care of animals is my full-time job so your pet is my priority. Like I’ve mentioned I am a very active person, I usually like to go on hikes or walks in canyons, beaches or parks. I double-majored in ecology and biology so nature and animals are my passion. I have extensive experience with animals and a deep understanding of animal behavior. I have worked with dogs w special-needs: I cared for a Dalmatian who would have seizures and was very hyperactive, as well as many years caring for my prior dog, Tikka, who became blind as she aged. I also have experience administering insulin to pets who have diabetes. From miniature chihuahua to Great Dane, I’ve worked with almost every breed. My schedule is flexible, so if you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to reach out. PLEASE INQUIRE ABOUT PACKAGE DEALS FOR DAYCARE!!! Pet care is a way of life for me. I care for Stella 24/7 but when we have company, I like to get up around 7am and plan my days around the dogs/animals I have the opportunity to take care of. From the beaches, to the mountains and canyons in between, I enjoy making my lifestyle an active one and enjoy bringing dogs along with me. At times things need to slow down and I enjoy watching the dogs run around the yard while I work on projects around the house. In our home, dogs have the opportunity to venture between the house and the patio or back yard freely (so long as you are okay w that). The backyard is completely fenced in and double-gated. There is also fresh water dispersed around the property, along with plenty of toys and chews to play with. There is also a patio area so our furry friends can get some shade, if needed. When it comes to cats, I am more than happy to accommodate any size cat, I have a loft in my house that cats love to climb up into and laze about. They have toys and scratching posts up there as well for enrichment. I also have a beautiful beam that stretches above my kitchen that they tend to love to lay on and watch people walk around below. Every animal is different with its own unique temperament . What I enjoy doing is creating a comfy, secure, calm, and fun environment for each and every animal I get the opportunity to meet and care for.

About: I've been a dog and house sitter for many years and have developed a genuine passion for giving love and care to animals of all personalities and needs. As a dog owner myself, I know how essential it is to have trust in those who look after your pets, which is why I treat every animal as if they were my own. Whether its daily walks or just keeping them company, I am happy to help out in any way I can and provide a safe and comfortable environment for your animals. In June I will begin my summer job and will be available primarily on weekends and any weekday after 4pm. For the month of May, I am able to work everyday at whatever times I am needed. I always tailor my care to the needs of pets and their owners. I try my best to create a stress free environment and stay on top of daily feeding and exercise schedules. In a client's home, I make sure to give the pet(s) tons of attention and affection while also maintaining a tidy space while you're away. I also prioritize consistent communication and treat every pet as if they were my own!
About: I took care of my neighbors' pets during high school and all of them were satisfied with my care. They always felt comfortable leaving me with their pets while they were on vacation. I am going to be a full time paralegal student in May. I currently have a lot of time on my hands that I would like to spend making money to help pay for it! I look out for body language signs of distress from the pets I take care of and act accordingly. If there are specific things the owner wants me to do, I make those a priority. I always stayed respectful to the owners' home, making sure to leave it the way I found it.
About: Ever since I can remember, I have always been around and have loved animals. I got a dog of my own at 7 years old, my first dog when I was seven years old, but I began caring for other dogs five years ago. I've walked and cared for dogs of all ages and I'm excited to meet you and your pet! I'm working this summer, but I'll still have plenty of time to play with your pups! In terms of pet sitting, I am available for both routine visits and overnight stays (in your house). As long as it does not interfere with work, I am relatively flexible with walking times. Weekends are also fairly open for me! I'll treat your dog and home as if they were mine! When putting your dog out, I'll make sure the backyard gates are shut, the doors to your home are always locked, that your dog is getting more than enough walks and exercise, and that they're never thirsty or hungry!
About: I have been walking dogs for the past five years. I have several clients but the dog I’ve walked the most is a Husky named Dasha and the other is a German Shepard named Sarge. I love to walk and play with dog and make sure they get their exercise and food. I have plenty of time to walk the Dogs. If possible, I would like to work on Monday to Friday. I am OK also to work either Saturday or Sunday. But, I prefer to work on weekdays. I care for pets by calling their name in a loving way, spending time petting them, making sure they are comfortable and their tail is wagging. I also make sure to be playful and speak calmly and pleasantly to the dogs.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 and my family always had service dogs/pets so also training and constantly dealing with dogs! :) I currently work as an RBT and am in my senior year at UCSD. I miss my pets, so this is my fix for now! :) Your safety and your pets safety is just as important as mine. Having communication about safety/rules is crucial to having a healthy and safe pet!
“Lilly has been the best dog walker ever! She takes great care of my pup, and he’s all smiles every time she takes him out. I would HIGHLY recommend Lilly for all of your dog-sitting needs”
About: I’ve had hands-on experience with animals my entire life, beginning with growing up surrounded by pets and later adopting my own dog at just 11 years old. From a young age, I’ve been pet sitting throughout my neighborhood, caring for animals of different personalities, routines, and needs. Over the years, this experience has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to make pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. My lifelong passion for animals once inspired me to pursue veterinary medicine before I discovered my interest in understanding the human mind, but my love for animals has never changed. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing attentive, loving, and dependable care you can trust. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to prioritize pet care. I do not work, and I only attend college classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays for most of the day. Outside of those hours, I am fully available for drop-ins, walks, and sitting. I also have reliable transportation, so traveling to clients’ homes is never an issue. I’m committed to providing dependable, consistent care and making sure pets receive the time and attention they deserve. Creating a safe, calm, and trusting environment is my top priority when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home. I follow all provided instructions closely, maintain consistent routines, and pay close attention to each pet’s comfort and behavior. I keep spaces clean, secure, and free of hazards, and I always make sure pets have access to fresh water, proper meals, and plenty of affection. I respect each pet’s boundaries and take the time to build trust at their pace, ensuring they feel relaxed, cared for, and safe at all times.
About: I grew up with my mom rescuing dogs and cats found in our neighborhood. Most of them were failed fosters. I grew up with 5 cats and 6 dogs, with my cat living with me up until my senior year of college until she passed. I always look forward to going home to seeing all of our animals! From big to small- from our cats to our dogs. Each one of them has their own personalities and needs. I have experience with kittens, senior cats, bigger dogs, small dogs, epileptic dogs, and young cats, I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of availability. I am available most weekends, mornings, and evenings. I am unavailable Monday nights and Tuesday mornings. I value safety with every pet. As a previous pet owner, I always would want someone’s pet to feel comfortable and safe with me and be able to create a good trust and bond!

Our animals really are, our Best Friends. A lifetime spend growing up with animals. My earliest memories was playing with my cat Bonkers & dog Autumn. My father was a dog trainer and I learned early on how to care for and maintain the safety of our four legged friends. 15 years ago it was a natural progression for friends and family members to ask me to stay over and care for their animals. This year I had the privilege of spending time teaching my roommates dogs to sit, walk on a leash and build a companionship and it was truly rewarding. Our animals depend on us and I will care and keep you updated on your Best Friend while you are away. An expert at following owners guidelines for the care of their animals while they are away!!

About: I have always had a love for animals. Growing up, I had a variety of pets, from birds and geckos to dogs. My own baby is a terrier mix and a rescue from Mexico. She is a reactive dog, so I have experience working with animals who are more hesitant and unpredictable. My college roommate's and I used to foster and I really miss caring for animals. I have years of experience watching both dogs and cats, and would love to care for your pets! I’m currently working a full time job from 8am-5pm. I work from home 4/5 days of the work week and can bring my laptop and work from different places. I would provide your pets with unlimited pets and cuddles. I can help with training and take your pets on walks. Whatever your pet needs is truly my first priority.
About: I have always grown up with dogs so I am able to handle most situations. I am able to help train puppies as well as help with senior care of older dogs. I have a very open schedule that is easily adjustable. I am very flexible with hours and also last minute walks or care that is needed. I have a fenced in yard for my pets and a graffiti lawn that pets are able to go outside on leash. I also can put pets into a create if necessary.
About: I’ve always had a huge love for animals, particularly dogs. I’ve had experience caring for dogs at a very young age, which included handling mom and pups at pregnancy, to seniors. Walking and bathing all sizes and ages. I’m now a mother to a Cockapoo mix who rules my world! He goes everywhere with me, shopping, long walks, relative’s, running events, even vacations. I am an active individual who will include your dog on these adventures as well. Being with me, I plan to get them tired by having fun. I’m currently working part time remotely, which gives me the ability to surround myself with my favorite friends. My availability is flexible and I am willing to care for your pups on weekends or holidays. One things for sure, I will give your dogs the same love and affection as if it were mine. Can’t wait to meet them(: I work remotely M-F, which allows me to have flexibility for your pup. My work hours are typically from 9am - 3:30pm, but I have breaks in between. I will be able to take your pup for constant potty breaks/walks and feedings. If you prefer, dog park and beach visits can be frequent. I am in a 1,100sqft apartment on the third floor. Our complex is extremely dog friendly and even has a small dog park with a washing station. I live with my fiance and our son Buddy. Buddy is always anxious and happy to meet new friends, but also understands the barrier of privacy. He is trained and should not be of any issue at all. It actually helps his anxiety to have a furry friend around sometimes. Our community has a nice long trail along Miramar reservoir, but we also have different routes throughout the neighborhood if you prefer. Our house hold is pretty quiet, with no kids. Dog YouTube can be an option for anxious pups. Staying active outside or napping inside, whatever your dog is feeling, we will do just that! (:
“Harper did so well on her outing! She's not around kids normally and with Cristen's care she was awesome. Harper adores Cristen and listens attentively to her. Dakota is always a great dog to everyone and both loved the hike and Cristen. They always feel safe with her.”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, various breeds from beagles to goldens, labs, and American bulldogs, Golden retrievers and Huskies. I grew up on a small farm in Ohio, where my parents entrusted my sister and I to look after all of our animals. I’m currently working part-time, which leaves me with plenty of time to look after your pet, whatever your needs may be. I think that structure is important for pups, I will be sure to put your mind at ease while caring for your pets by allowing as little disturbances to their routine as possible. My dogs are loved and respected in our house. We are constantly having fun and learning new things. I enjoy teaching fun games and watching them learn in real time!

“I want to thank you for taking such good care of Benji while we were gone for one week. I kept receiving photos of Benji playing with another dog and being happy and calm. Everything went smoothly and nice. I recommend Mayank family and I will definitely book again with you next time”
“Having the peace of mind knowing our sensitive pup Sophie was in kind and patient hands is invaluable. Thank you, Cori and Chris for taking such good care of our girl. 🐶”
“Nina was fantastic. She cared for Winnie while we took a short vacation like she was her own dog. Winnie got regular walks and spent time sunning herself on the balcony. Winnie enjoyed Nina's quiet and clean condo., with a view of lake. We would definitely use Nina's services in the future. My daughter really appreciated the many pictures Nina sent us. Nina was also very responsive whenever we contacted her to check in on Winnie's status. Overall, this was a great experience.”
“Perfect spot for Azuki to relax for a few days while we were out of town. It felt like he was getting his own little vacation. Very good communication and lots of photos.”
“This was Rosie's first ever boarding outside our house and Hana made Rosie's visit stress-free. Hana was very responsive to my booking inquiry and welcoming when we visited to meet her in advance of booking. Hana sent photos and videos during the stay and I felt very comforted knowing Rosie was in good hands. I would definitely book with Hana again. Thanks, Hana!”
“We have been searching for someone to watch our pup that was closer to home, knew how to handle big dogs and would be a good fit for our ball of energy! Cameron is so good with Mia, and she has gone to stay twice now! She loves playing with the other dogs, and their property is perfect for all day play and fun. Cameron also sends several videos and photos while we are away, which really eases our hearts and minds about being away from our pup! I can’t say enough good things! Highly recommend!”
“Margaret was an amazing care taker of our 2 dogs while we were out of the country. She kept us informed with pictures and updates daily. She even scheduled several playdates with another dog which made them smile. I would highly recommend her to watch your dogs. We will use her again. We were so grateful to find her on short notice.”
“Scott and Lori were amazing with our frenchie Wally and communicated with us daily while we were on vacation. It was so great to see photos and videos while we were away; it really made us feel like our dog was in great hands all week. They also went above and beyond and took Wally to the beach not once, but TWICE in the same week and he loved it!! Thank you for the best boarding experience! I think our dog missed Scott and Lori after we picked him up from his "stay-cation", so that says a lot about his stay in their lovely home. We don't take many vacations but are looking forward to having him stay with Scott and Lori again next time!!!”
“Marley had a fantastic time with Jenny! She was great about sending lots of pictures and videos so we always felt in the loop. He got lots of trips to the dog park and enjoyed playing with her dog Lucky. I know he’s already looking forward to his next visit with her!”
“Very happy with our experience. Our dog had a great time with Ryan's family. Ryan was easy to communicate with and he was very accommodating when our travel plans changed unexpectedly at the last minute and we had to extend the boarding for a few days.”
“Holly was an amazing sitter for Hazel. I received regular pupdates with pictures and in every single photo Hazel looked absolutely comfortable and happy with Holly, her home, and her family (including her 2 dogs). I feel 100% confident and comfortable using Holly’s services in the near future and would recommend her to anyone.”
“Julia was a fantastic sitter for my baby Kimchi! She sent multiple photos + updates throughout my pets stay, fed her medicine everyday, and her pup Yuki was so gentle and patient with Kimchi. Her place is very secure, so I felt safe having her there. She also takes Kimchi on walks which not all sitters do. And lastly Kimchi has always been an anxious dog who doesn’t acclimate well in new settings, and while she still gets afraid of Julia’s roommates, she felt safe and calm with Julia right off the bat. Would definitely recommend!”
“I’ve used Rover in the past but let me tell you I would highly recommend Gelare E. To anyone who’s looking for someone to watch their fur babies. Never in my life had someone loved and cared for our spirit like this beautiful family. They are above a 10 plus. I would never have no one but Gelare to watch my fur babies. I can’t say enough about the love and care they have for Animals. When I say trust me I mean that from my heart. They are the best fur babies sitters in the world to me. If I could give them the world for taking care of our boy spirit! I would. They are extra extra special dog sitters. Thank you God for beautiful animal lovers like this family ❤️🥰🙏🩷😇”

“Honestly, Alyssa was amazing. She definitely helped me out last minute and she was completely understanding. She took care of my baby while I was away and I could tell that he was a good hands. I will definitely be using her again.”
“I needed a sitter at the last minute at Ashley did an amazing job of communicating and being flexible and understanding when plans changed or issues arose that needed to to be addressed. She made me feel comfortable and always prioritized my pet's health and safety. I'm so thrilled I found her and will definitely be a return customer the nex time I'm in need of petcare. Do not hesitate to request her services!”
“We’ve used Jason several times and he always does a great job with our boy Eli. He sends updates frequently and is always flexible if we need to shift times based on our travels. We know Eli is well taken care of while we are away. Definitely recommend Jason!”
“Susan and her family are very experienced with dogs. My GSD stayed with them for a few days and I can tell she had a great time walking and playing with them and other dog and had peaceful time with cats. Susan sent me frequent updates with pictures which made me feel so much ease. I appreciate all her efforts caring my dog. I would definitely go to her next time without any hesitation. Thanks Susan!”
