“Henri had a great weekend at Paulina’s! She came out to greet us and then took the leash and introduced Henri to her home-he was so comfortable with her from the start. Our dog has hardly been away from us in his 7 years and I was a little nervous about leaving him with someone new, but I soon realized I had nothing to worry about. Paulina is a very relaxed person and sent updates and adorable photos each day. It made me happy to see him look so at home with her. Don’t let her lack of a backyard discourage you-Henri was happy and tired when we picked him up. We will call on her whenever we need a dog sitter for when we visit our daughter in SF. Paulina was an absolute lifesaver and we are so happy to have found her!”
“Renee and Christopher took excellent care of Bear during his recent stay. They were very caring and attentive to our senior dog and sent daily photos and updates. We will definitely rebook in the future!”
“Thank you so much!! She’s a great sitter and my puppy loved her. Very sweet and took care of my puppy while I had an emergency. Please don’t hesitate to book her!”
“Wonderful people! Super detail oriented on how to care for my fur baby Pico! They kept us updated everyday on how he was doing and I completely trust them. We will be in touch again for when we need a dog sitter again!”
“Remo took care of my dog Lulu for two weeks. He was very flexible with drop off and pick up times. Lulu loved his backyard and going on many walks with new friends. She came back happy, healthy, and safe. I would recommend Remo for dog boarding and will definitely use his services again in the future! Thank you!!”
“Our dog Coffee had a wonderful 5-night stay with Laura while we were out of state traveling. She went out of her way to make sure Coffee was comfortable in the space before we left on our trip, and we felt confident the entire time that Coffee was being well cared for. We received regular updates with pictures. Right before our trip, Coffee was put on a course of antibiotics and Laura was wonderful in adding the medication into Coffee's care schedule, despite his strong aversion to medication of any kind! We had a fantastic experience with Laura, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to others.”
“Annabel took wonderful care of my dog, Penny, over a long weekend. From the very beginning, she was kind, responsive, and easy to communicate with. She happily arranged an initial meet-and-greet in a public place, followed by another visit so Penny could get comfortable with her apartment before the stay, which I really appreciated. During Penny's stay, Annabel sent regular photo updates and messages, giving us peace of mind that she was happy and well cared for. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making Penny feel at home. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Annabel again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable sitter.”
“Sam and her family did a wonderful job keeping our pup happy for our entire week of vacation. We loved getting the pictures and stories from their time together!”
“Sky had a wonderful time with Cristina and Ernesto—she was truly on her own little vacation, treated like a queen! I’m so grateful for the incredible care they gave her while I was away. They kept me updated every day with photos and messages, and their communication was outstanding. At the end, I was treated with a delicious brownie and Sky got her cookies. I highly recommend them!”
“Pascal absolutely loved his stay and came home worn out from playing and snuggling! We got lots of updates and felt good knowing Pascal was in absolutely fantastic hands! 10/10 would recommend!!!”
“I had to leave my pup for a couple of days soon after some surgery. Melissa took on the extra steps for food prep, meds, soft collar without hesitation. She did a great job keeping me posted on how my pup was doing, generally, and specifically about the incision sites. Really appreciate her taking extra care of my pup!”
“Megan is awesome. She has a fantastic place with a nice backyard I’m sure Max enjoyed. Max was recovering from an injury and Megan took great care, keeping that cone of shame firmly in place. We will definitely leave Max with Megan again!”
“Terry was fantastic in taking care of my new fur baby. Terry is kind and caring and knows how to treat dogs. I appreciate Terry's excellent communication and pet sitting skills. Thank you Terry!”
“So happy we found Cesar! This was Gucci’s first dog boarding experience and couldn’t be more happy. Love that I was kept updated via the app, which lessened the anxiety of leaving my boy for the first time. I will definitely call on Cesar again and highly recommend him. Mahalo Cesar! Until next time.”
“Sonia is wonderful. From the moment we met Sonia at our meet & greet we knew she was going to love our babies like her own while we were out of town! She was incredibly responsive to messages and sent the cutest pictures throughout the entire time she was watching our dogs. I will definitely book with Sonia again!”
“It was a real surprise to be so informed about our pooch - Junyoung sent pics and she even bathed him (twice). I don’t even know how she handled that since it takes 2 ppl in our house to bathe our little man. It looks like he even got bed privileges judging from the pics- so our little man was treated better than in his own home. Junyoung is a rare person- she will treat your pooch as her own. We are grateful to have found her. She has the perfect, loving, clean space for your pooch.,”
“Ivy took such a great care of Toast! She sent us so many pictures and updates! She took him for longer walks and hikes and Toast had a great time! They will for sure be my go-to home for our dog in the future!”
“Shelley is the absolute best! From the well organized meet and greet before our first stay and the Polly care sheet she made to check she had all of the details, to the photos and videos throughout the stay, to the well timed pick up, this was a very well organized visit. I’d highly recommend Shelley to anyone, she is so focused on making sure the dogs are comfortable and happy. I’m so grateful for the attention she and her husband gave Polly over the past three days and look forward to Polly getting to spend time with them again in the future!”

“WOW! Eric is great! Very communicative and conscientious. When Taco had an upset tummy, he messaged me right away and kept me updated in the days following. He did NOT have to go to the lengths that he did to clean our carpets of the mess but I sure do appreciate that he did. He also took out our trash at the end of his stay with Taco! Just blown away at the care that Eric puts into his furry clients. I could tell from the photos that our kitty liked him as well! Thank you, thank you, thank you!”
“Leaving another review for Hillary because she has been absolutely amazing and so flexible with our kitties for multiple last minute requests! One of our kitties is on chemo and needs multiple meds, and it’s such a relief to have someone as trustworthy, kind, and careful as Hillary to check on him while we’re away.”
“Cameron took wonderful care of Maine while we were out of town! She was very respectful, communicative, and took a lot of photos of Maine during her visits. I definitely would use her again!”
About: I’ve spent lots of time with cats and have lived with them. I approach them differently than dogs and respect their independence! I know how to look for cues in their behavior, when to give them space, when to provide more attention or care.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8 with my first dog that I mainly take care of. Also being trusted with family friends pets. I’m currently just putting my focus in taking care of your pups or dogs. So I have more than enough time to give love and care to your babies at home. Personally for my dogs we have a backyard and it’s completely fenced. When they were little we had them crate trained so I can easily help put back dog back into their crates if needed.
About: My name is Megan and I currently live in San Francisco, CA. I would love to provide care for your dog. I am an experienced previous dog owner and experienced pet sitter. I am able to board, feed, walk, and any other necessary care. I am also open to taking care of any other pets you have (cats, fish, rabbits and bearded dragons are some of the pets that I have experience with caring for). Please feel free to contact me here or at the phone number provided if you are interested. Thank you! I teach at a school that is three blocks from my house from 9am-4:30pm, so I can come home for lunch break walks if needed. I can walk dogs before and after school and let the dog into my backyard garden at any time. On the weekends, I can take dogs to the beach or on other fun outdoor adventures! I have taken care of people’s’ pets in a number of ways. I have stopped by people’s’ houses for care, boarded pets, and stayed overnight in pets’ homes.
About: I've loved dogs even before my family got our first dog. Taking on extra responsibilities for our first dog was so exciting, and now it's all I want to do. Knowing how much I love dogs, all sorts of friends and family members have come to me for help. I just graduated from college and have moved back home to San Francisco. I am very excited to be back and get to know some dogs in the area! I would care for your dogs by paying attention to whatever needs they may have. I'd walk them, feed them, and take them outside, and I would be able to crate them if needed.
About: My time volunteering at an animal shelter deepened my appreciation for cats and the unique patience they require. I've done drop-in visits and am comfortable with a range of personalities, whether they are shy, playful, independent. Regardless, I always let them set the pace and build trust on their own terms.
“Aaron is everything you could ask for in a catsitter and more! He’s quite attentive to the details, takes the best update photos showing his sit throughly, and communicates in a clear matter. Earl Grey loved Aaron and we definitely will plan to hire him again the next time we need a sitter!”
“Carmen took care of my cat Kerfluffle at very short notice over the Thanksgiving holiday. Even though my reservation was very last minute and we didn't have a chance to meet in person, she responded quickly and the logistics were seamless. I could tell from the photos she sent that my cat appreciated Carmen's visits. Recommended; thanks Carmen!”
“Natalie is a fantastic cat sitter! The provided a ton of pictures and a detailed note for each visit. I felt so relieved that my cat was in good hands, and I came home to a very happy cat. 😸 Would definitely hire Natalie again!”
“Laxmi was wonderful! She was very easy to communicate with in the lead-up to the booking and was wonderful throughout the booking itself. She sent daily updates and our two cats seemed extremely comfortable and at ease with her. She also left the house nice and tidy, which was such a nice thing to come home to! We have already rebooked her for another stay. Thanks so much, Laxmi!”
About: Experience with two lovely ladies since they were kittens to encourage socializing, desensitizing, and understanding their personalities. Whether your cat is a cuddle bug or a little shy, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away.
“I had a wonderful experience with Dena, who came highly recommended by a friend. She was caring, kind and attentive, and kept me updated with messages and photos. Jiji was happy and relaxed when I returned, which says it all. Would absolutely leave Jiji under Dena’s care again!”
About: I am a very active person. I take my own German Shepherd and Labrador out for long adventure walks and finding new hiking places around the city. I live in an apartment with no yard so I have to make sure my pups have enough play time and mental stimulation. I am willing to run with dogs, play with them, take them to the park as well as just having quiet relaxing walks. I am good with any breed of dog and any size and am also good with cats, too. I own two cats myself and she is very playful. I am capable of continuing your pets education by enforcing the basic commands such as sit, down, off and come. I can also use commands and train pets by the owner’s preferences. I currently work at Sunset Veterinary Hospital part time so I am available most days or even on my lunch while in the area to watch and walk your pups and kitties! I am not able to do any boarding because of my buildings regulations but I can spend time with your pets in your own home for most of the day. I will do any pet chores necessary and can make sure the pets eat and play. I can accommodate for any requests. I want to make sure the pets are happy and healthy throughout the entire day with me. If there are any pet chores needed like leaving food and water and I can follow any feeding instructions. I love to train dogs and give them the required amount of mental stimulation as well as playtime. I don’t mind playing any games with your pups with or without toys. I can take the pups to different parks and fields as well as beaches.
“Thomas was AMAZING! We needed someone on short notice after our primary cat sitter had a conflict with a few dates during our vacation. Thomas was responsive, prompt at showing up for a meet and greet, and immediately connected with our kitty, Sherman, taking detailed notes. During the stay, Thomas gave our kitty the attention he deserved. Not only that, he sent us lots of pictures and gave us detailed updates. It was awesome not having to worry about our kitty while thousands of miles away. We look forward to booking Thomas in the future!”

“Another wonderful experience with Emily! Thank you so much for taking such great care of Angel again this week. He’s always happy and relaxed when he’s with you, I really appreciate your kindness and the love you show him! ❤️🐾”
“Marie Elenore was amazing with my pup, but also with me as I was running late for the scheduled time. 🐶🐾 Very accommodating. 👍😊 Crinkle definitely had a blast with her. 🎉🥳 Thank you! 🙏💖”
About: I grew up with dogs always in the home, and I’ve taken care of my friends dogs when they go out of town. I’m a patient and gentle friend to dogs always. I have several remote work days at home to be around your pet all day, letting them out any time. I do not smoke and I keep a clean home space, so they will not get into any messes. I can follow your feeding schedule, take them outside when needed, and follow any notes to keep them on their routine. I have experience administering medicine for older dogs as well.
“Remo has been a fantastic sitter. He’s easy to communicate with, sends me great photos, and clearly loves dogs!! My puppy has such a fun time with him. I would recommend Remo to anyone (especially if your dog gets along well with other dogs).”
“Kira was fabulous! We booked last minute for a long day and Kira was willing to wake up before the sun rose and meet us right on time. She sent tons of updates throughout the day including photos and our pup came back happy! I’ll definitely use her again in the future.”
“We feel incredibly lucky to have found Renee and Christopher for Chewy’s daycare. They’re easy to work with, send frequent updates, and are clearly very thoughtful dog lovers — our senior dog Chewy seems so happy and comfortable in their home. Chewy often takes a while to warm up to new people, but they were quick to get a read on his personality and have made him feel at ease. When we go to drop him off he usually runs right in without looking back!”
“Cesar was great! My husband took our pup over for a meet-and-greet prior to the dog sitting day and I think that helped him ease into his longer visit. We definitely recommend Cesar and will be calling him again.”
“Thank you Nicole! Mochi had a wonderful day with you and you took amazing care of her today 🤗. I loved her pictures and it gives me peace at work knowing she is so happy!”
About: With over 3 yrs of pet sitting experience and a well-trained bernedoodle named Biggie, I offer a safe and personalized stay for your pup.

I only host one guest dog at a time to ensure focused attention and stress-free companionship. Your dog will enjoy supervised play in our fully-fenced backyard, dog park outings. I also provide daily photo and video updates. I treat every dog like family and tailor care to their personality. Your pup’s comfort, safety, and joy are always my top priority. I only take boarding at home to ensure ample care to your pup. I’m usually available during holidays - perfect when you are planning trips. I take weekend boarding as well. At my home, your dog will enjoy: A full fended backyard for sage, off-leash play Trips to dog park for exercise and socializing Tailored routings to match their feeding, medications and sleep preferences Photo and video updates everyday to keep you connected
“Cristina was super kind and responsive! She sent me updates and photos throughout the day and let me know if any issues arose. She was patient with my anxious senior dog and did a great job taking care of him. I definitely recommend her and Ernesto and would love to book them again!”
“Remy had a wonderful time with Ivy! She had lots of excursions and romps around the park with Ivy’s other dogs - she had so much fun! Thanks, Ivy! Remy will be back!”

About: Pawfect Stay is your dog’s staycation when you go on vacation. You can feel confident that your dog will be a part of my family when they stay with us. About me 20 year dog mom; ~16 years human mom. I live with my husband and teenage son. I am an airbnb superhost (10 years) and have hosted dogs for 5 years (for friends mostly). I can guarantee that your dog will feel loved during their stay. About Sparky Sparky is a feisty westie. He’s 7 and 1/2 years old. He’s used to being an only fur child at home, but will quickly adapt to a furry guest (human guests are a different matter). During their stay I will take your dog between my homes in sf and napa, where they will hang out as I tend to housekeeping. Your dog will go on at least two daily walks with me and my dog, Sparky. Sometimes we go on outings to the beach or park (where your dog will always be on a leash). I have a fenced yard at both houses. I take dogs for multiple walks per day in the neighborhood or at the park. Your dogs can sleep on the furniture or with us in bed if they enjoy a good cuddle
“Sheena is amazing with Burt! I was impressed by her detailed questions to ensure she can provide the best care for our dog. She provided multiple updates and took cute pictures/videos of our fur baby too. Burt and I hope to be one of her regulars for a long time!”
“Eleanor was super communicative and took the best care of Lani! She also took Lani in for day care super last minute and was flexible with timing, which I really appreciated. 10/10 recommend!”

“Katie was so great with my dog Mia! She was available on short notice, reliable, easy to communicate with, and kind. Thank you Katie! Definitely would love her help again! :)”
About: I love all pets. I especially love being active and running and will take my friend’s dog to the local 5k when she’s available. I do part time online tutoring and some in person extracurricular teaching. This gives me time between sessions to check in on your pets frequently. I am very careful and will follow any special instructions for caring for your pet extremely closely. I love pets and my priority is always the pet’s comfort.
“Martin & Robert walked my pups when I was out for the entire day and I came home to some super happy dogs and a very sweet Rover card with great photos. :) Thanks so much!”
“We cannot say enough good things about Surekha. Finding someone you trust with your dog is tough, but she made it incredibly easy. She is so genuinely kind and patient, and she has been absolutely wonderful with our mini Aussie. She understands his personality perfectly and tailors her approach to exactly what our pup needs that day. Surekha is dependable, communicative, and just a joy to work with. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Joyce walked my dog, Ginger, today and I'm the first to admit that my pup can be a little loud and not all too sure about strangers. But, it seems like they hit it off! Joyce is super nice, patient and asked some great questions on our initial meeting. Always a relief to know that my dog is in good hands.”
“Mick was great. He came through for me after my initial sitter cancelled last minute. This was my first time using Rover, and Mick made it a smooth, easy process.”
About: Hi, I'm Ko! I have a deep love for animals that goes back as far as I can remember. I've spent 10+ years caring for dogs and building a genuine understanding of what animals need to feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I believe a pet's emotional and mental wellbeing matters just as much as the physical basics. My goal is always for your pet to feel understood and at ease, whether that's a dog who needs a long run or a cat who just needs a calm, respectful presence in their space. Your pet is family. I make sure to treat them that way. I have a flexible schedule and am happy to adapt to whatever routine works best for your pet. With structured routines, frequent updates, and fun weekend adventures, your pet's well-being and happiness are my top priorities. I work remotely part-time, so I have ample time to exercise, feed, and love on your pet! I have no problem with pets that may need more attention and keeping my time outside of the home brief (1-3 hrs.) When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize keeping their world as familiar and comfortable as possible. One of the primary ways I ensure your animals feel safe is by closely adhering to their routines so I follow feeding, medication, and exercise schedules closely and treat any deviations as the exception, not the norm. Before settling in, I do a quiet walkthrough to check for anything that could pose a risk—unsecured doors, open windows, potential hazards—so your pet's environment is as safe as it is comfortable. From there, I let the pet lead. Some warm up quickly, some take time, and I'm equally comfortable with both. Throughout every visit, I keep you in the loop with regular updates and photos. You should never have to wonder how your pet is doing.

About: I have experience with different dog sizes and breeds. 🐾 My American Akita, Anjie, recently passed after a long, happy life with me. 🐾 Large breeds are especially welcome. 🐾 At this time, I’m focusing on boarding dogs who are generally healthy and comfortable in a home environment. Please share your dog’s age, routine, temperament, and any medical needs when you reach out for booking unless your pet profile is complete. 🐾 I work from home much of the time. I do sometimes need to leave a dog alone. Dogs who are not destructive or prone to significant separation anxiety do not need to be crated unless you prefer that your dog be crated. 🐾 I own my condo, which is calm, clean, and dog-friendly. I welcome your dog’s bed, toys, and familiar items. 🐾 I have a lot of outdoor space on the property and am close to Glen Canyon Park and other walking areas. I have a car, so I can get around easily. Dog Walks (That’s when I come to you.) 🐾 I’m open to afternoon and evening walks. 🐾 I can walk 2-3 dogs from the same family. Care & Safety 🐾 I have supplies like a crate, bowls, shampoo… 🐾 I leash dogs unless they’re in a private space. 🐾 I’m fine crossing the street with your dog if she/he can be reactive.
“Michelle was wonderful to work with, as well as my dog now considers her his fun-auntie. She communicated well, was timely, and friendly. Additionally, on another occasion when she watched my dog at her home, she was able to train him to be calm around cats! A miracle patience fairy kind and caring to all sorts of beings. Highly recommend her services!”
“Dena walked our (recovering) reactive dog Monty and did a fantastic job. She was open to using treats and commands, and got him comfortable quickly. She’s a very calm presence with lots of experience (and love for!) with dogs. We will definitely hire her again!”
“Shailyng is the best! She treats my pup like her own and takes such good care of her. She is so communicative and always sends tons of pictures and videos and is amazing with responding to my last minute requests. I know my pup is in good hands with her.”
About: My entire life I have had pets and cared for other peoples pets. I currently volunteer and foster for an animal rescue and have been doing so for nearly a decade. I have pets of my own and treat everyone else’s pet as if they were mine. I understand positive reinforcement training methods and only use positivity in my practice. It can be stressful to leave our pets, but as a pet owner myself I do whatever I can to make you and your pet more comfortable. Most of my clients take medication and/or are medically needy. I am comfortable giving medication or any special care they may need. I look forward to seeing how I can best support you and your fur babies! I am deeply lucky to be able to work with pets as my full time job. I am happy to see how I can best accommodate you and your pets. I have an handful of pets of my own and treat every single pet I care for as family. I ask that I’m given emergency contact info and at least one person to reach in the event that your pet needs care and I am unable to reach you.
About: I’ve grown up with all kinds of pets from rats to cats to spiders and one rehabbed squirrel. I am a huge animal lover and I’m the top choice when my friends ever need a pet sitter because I’m so in love with their pets and love to go above and beyond when taking care of them. That means you absolutely don’t need to worry about them getting enough attention and love because they will get LOADS I hav experience taking care of senior pets and special needs pets and I do my best to really establish a trusting relationship so they know when I’m around everything is going to be ok. It would be my pleasure to meet more lovely pet parents and help them out whenever they need! I hav a very chill job as a personal assistant so I have lots of availability. And my hobby is reading and writing so you get a very very chill person in your space that you can count on to be respectful and drama free I can offer a variety of pet care, I can do overnights or several hours and I can also do just a quick drop in if that’s all you need. I don’t have a car so unfortunately unless a uber is covered I can’t take them to the vet or things like that but I’m happy to spend my day at a nearby park or just read a nice book with them in your lovely home. Whatever works for you and of course you can just let me know whatever it is you need, it would be my pleasure to accommodate 🥰
About: I've grown up with dogs of all sizes and have hands-on experience training and caring for a wide range of breeds and temperaments. I currently have two dogs of my own, a 14 year old Pekingese and a 8 year old Husky, which has given me daily experience managing both small and large dogs with very different needs and personalities. Whether your dog is energetic and active or prefers a slower pace, I'm comfortable providing safe, attentive care, exercise, and companionship. My background with dogs big and small allows me to adapt to each pet's unique routine and help them feel comfortable and well cared! My flexible schedule allows me to give your pets lots of attention, love, playtime, and exercise. I'm committed to making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and cared for every step of the way! My number one priority is making sure your pets feel comfortable and secure in their own home. I understand that every pet adjusts at their own pace, so I give them the time and space they need to build trust and feel at ease. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or quiet companionship. My goal is to provide attentive, loving care while helping them feel safe, relaxed, and happy in their familiar environment.
About: You know how you have that one friend who loses their train of thought when they see a cute pup down the street? That’s me. I’ve never met a dog I didn’t want to pet! Though, to be fair, I have an affinity for all animals. Having grown up with Rottweilers, I have a soft spot for “scary” breeds (that we know are actually the biggest lovers) and have the most experience with reactive dogs, including walking and socialization. Our own pup, Miso, also gave me an honorary dog nurse degree. He had a chronic disorder that required strictly timed medications and meals, so if your pup needs extra attention in that regard, I have ten years of experience making sure pets are feeling good! Unfortunately, we had to say goodbye to our sweet boy this past December, so Rover doggos help fill the big hole left in my heart. I hope I get to meet your pup(s) soon! I promise, we will have a blast together 🐶 I run a company where I make my own schedule and work from home 80% of the time. I also live couple blocks off Golden Gate Park and would love to explore the trails with your pup! I have a spacious apartment, a few blocks off the park. Whereas I don’t have a yard, the limit does not exist for the number of walks your pup may get at Golden Gate! There are no other animals or children at the apartment; however, there is a carpeted flight of stairs to get inside.

“Henri had a great weekend at Paulina’s! She came out to greet us and then took the leash and introduced Henri to her home-he was so comfortable with her from the start. Our dog has hardly been away from us in his 7 years and I was a little nervous about leaving him with someone new, but I soon realized I had nothing to worry about. Paulina is a very relaxed person and sent updates and adorable photos each day. It made me happy to see him look so at home with her. Don’t let her lack of a backyard discourage you-Henri was happy and tired when we picked him up. We will call on her whenever we need a dog sitter for when we visit our daughter in SF. Paulina was an absolute lifesaver and we are so happy to have found her!”
“Our dog Coffee had a wonderful 5-night stay with Laura while we were out of state traveling. She went out of her way to make sure Coffee was comfortable in the space before we left on our trip, and we felt confident the entire time that Coffee was being well cared for. We received regular updates with pictures. Right before our trip, Coffee was put on a course of antibiotics and Laura was wonderful in adding the medication into Coffee's care schedule, despite his strong aversion to medication of any kind! We had a fantastic experience with Laura, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to others.”
“Sam and her family did a wonderful job keeping our pup happy for our entire week of vacation. We loved getting the pictures and stories from their time together!”
“Megan is awesome. She has a fantastic place with a nice backyard I’m sure Max enjoyed. Max was recovering from an injury and Megan took great care, keeping that cone of shame firmly in place. We will definitely leave Max with Megan again!”
“Sonia is wonderful. From the moment we met Sonia at our meet & greet we knew she was going to love our babies like her own while we were out of town! She was incredibly responsive to messages and sent the cutest pictures throughout the entire time she was watching our dogs. I will definitely book with Sonia again!”
“Jillian was amazing with my slightly neurotic dog! He came back happy and relaxed, which is absolutely not always the case. We will absolutely be using her again!”
“This was the first time we boarded our dog with Molly & Stephen and WOW - 5 stars isn't enough! The minute we met them - we knew our dog was going to get great care, love and walks. We looked so forward to the daily photos they sent (hi-light of our vacation). They gave daily updates on how our dog was doing and any questions we had were answered ASAP. When we go away again, we will definitely be contacting Molly & Stephen. Thank you”
“Victoria was wonderful. Took amazing care of my dog Charlie, and even accommodated me when I set the wrong end time for the booking! Highly recommend.”
“Our two dogs were very well taken care of while with Cynthia and her family. We received daily photos and videos of their cuddles and walks! It was comforting to know they were in good hands!”
“Lily was a great dog sitter for our senior Shiba Inu! She sent some great photos everyday of their outings and it was ver clear she was well looked after. Thank you Lily! We hope to use you again in the future!”
“Kara and Val were a godsend when we needed a last minute sitter for our pup. Kara was prompt and responsive in setting up a meet & greet where she got to talk with us and get to know Petunia a little bit. We were nervous as it was our first time leaving her, but she warmed up to Kara, Val and their adorable daughter Mae quite quickly! Kara was great about sending updates and photos and made us feel secure, at ease and able to enjoy our time away. Cannot recommend them enough 🐶😁”
“Kaya had a great time staying with Vanessa and Kenzo this past weekend! Kaya has stayed with Vanessa several times and always has a great time. Vanessa is responsive, flexible, and friendly. Will continue to book with her every time we travel!”
“Jose was very communicative and flexible on drop off and pick up times - our pup ran right into his place and seemed very happy and healthy when we picked him up! Would recommend Jose to anyone looking for a reliable sitter!”
“Jana took great care of my two cats Abbi and Ilana while I was away for 11 days on a climbing trip. She was warm and kind and sent lovely photos every day. It seems like the girls had a nice time and I would definitely board them with Jana again!”
About: I’ve been around dogs pretty much my whole life, whether it was my standard poodle as a young kid, my mini poodle as a teenager or, more recently, the senior dogs I’ve fostered or adopted from Muttville. Dogs have always been in good hands with me. Right now my wife and I have two dachshund chihuahua mixes we adopted at five and six. Our home is a dog home. They’re on the couch, on the bed and even under the covers (if they want to burrow). They’re in the mix and they’re loved. If your dog has medications, I’ve got it. If they have special needs or they’re older and need a slower pace, I have ample experience with that. I’m currently dedicating my time to taking care of pups, so your pup will have my undivided attention throughout the days and evenings. The max amount of time I’d leave your dog alone would be for four hours. I have two dogs of my own that I would keep separate from your dog to ensure everyone’s safety and comfort. I have a fully fenced backyard with a couple of stairs. I also have pet stairs inside to help senior dogs get up on to the couch and bed
“Brianna and Jerry did a great job taking care of Domingo who is a 1 and 1/2-year-old mix of labrador and Shepherd, and he is high energy. They sent videos and photos everyday and ask me questions about Domingo's diet. They also helped with training him not to pull on the leash. They both love dogs and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.”
“My girl Beadie (7 years old, 9 lb, very timid) recently with Maria for nine days, and it went so much better than I was worried about (I'm a worrier, and this was only the second time we left her and the first was only two days). She was incredibly communitive, sent us a ton of updates (pictures, videos, and words), treated our girl in the way she's comfortable with - taking it slow, not crowding her, etc. Maria's dog Sparky was probably a little more high energy than Beadie would have liked (what she prefers is very low, so this definitely isn't saying Sparky is crazy high energy), but they definitely got along and I wasn't concerned about that. She was also very flexible when we missed a flight and needed to leave her for an extra night. All in all, I highly recommend. I really don't like leaving my girl at all, but I was much more comfortable with Maria taking care of her than I expected or even hoped.”
“Stevenson is great! He’s taken care of Jeronimo twice and I’ve had a great experience, he’s very communicative and reliable; and Jeronimo was happy to spend time with him.”
“Kami and her boyfriend took great care of our large and energetic pup when we boarded him with them for a weekend. They gave him lots of love and attention, including 4 hours of fetch in one day! Kami was quick to respond to any of my questions and easy to communicate with.”
