“They were great! I had a last min sitter cancellation and Derek & Solip were so accomodating and responded quickly! My pup was happy when I picked him up and I could tell he was well cared for! Could not ask for more this last min!”
“I could tell our dog had a great time with Alvin! He was incredibly understanding, attentive and sent us regular updates. He had no problem giving our dog his medicine as well. Our dog can be a handful and has a lot of energy - Alvin made sure to provide daily walks, play time and cuddles. He was also very mindful when having our dog & his dog meet and get used to each other. Our dog was well taken care of and we are so grateful :) We would definitely let our dog stay with him again. We recommend Alvin if you’re looking for someone kind, accommodating, and devoted to making your dog comfortable!”
“Jesse was great! He took amazing care of Wally and he sent me a lot of pics and videos of their time together. Will definitely bring Wally back and would definitely recommend!”
“Taylor did a great job watching Tootie. This was my first time leaving her with someone she/I did not know, and he did a great job, making me feel calm and comfortable knowing that she was being well taken care of. I loved the picture updates each day. I would definitely work with Taylor again.”
“Sam was an incredible host for our two pups. We are so appreciative of the attention and love she gave them, her communication, and her giving us the peace of mind that they were in the best hands. They were so obviously comfortable and at ease with her. She is very thorough and makes sure that she knows all about the dogs’ habits and routines in order to make their stay is as smooth as possible. We also had to extend our trip and she was very kind to accommodate us. We are so lucky to have found Sam!”
“Matthew and Bryant took wonderful care of our Reba! They sent daily updates and included Reba on all of their adventures. They even took her to the beach! We felt that Reba was very well cared for and we got back a very happy puppy. We would absolutely recommend Matthew and Bryant to anyone!”
“Moddy had the best time with Lei. I had wonderful photo updates and it was clear that Lei cared about Moddy’s welfare, diet and fun! Winston, Lei’s dog is gorgeous and her son and family contributed to Moddy’s excellent stay. This was one of the best Rover experiences I’ve had. I cannot recommend Lei highly enough.”
“Our pups were treated like Lil princes, they even got to sleep in her bed. Jill sent me daily pics and videos, and she took them to different parks in the area. When our flight was delayed, she accommodated our last minute change of plans. I love the individualized care she provided. Will definitely take the pups to her from here on out.”
“Melissa was so good with our poodle Stormy. She was able to read our dog’s requests and moods to ensure Stormy’s comfort. Not always an easy feat! Melissa kept us well informed about Stormy’s chronic eye issue. And she also sent pictures and stories every day. Very reassuring. At the end of the visit, Stormy watched Melissa walk away, which means Stormy felt an emotional bond with Melissa. ❤️ Would not hesitate to book with Melissa again in the future!”
“Ellen was an amazing caretaker for our dog. She made sure he was comfortable with her 2 dogs before we committed to a few nights of him staying at her home. She sent daily updates and pictures, which I always appreciate. She and her partner were the best company for our dog! Will call them again.”
“Kara & Val were absolutely wonderful with our high-maintenance Frenchie! They handled frequent meals, four different medications, and pet messes with ease. Their communication was stellar, and we were actually able to relax on our trip. Plus, our pup enjoyed sunbathing on their patio and snoozing in their laps. We have grown to really trust them and will definitely book again.”
“Renee and Christopher took great care of Bosco! They shared updates and pictures everyday, and were so accommodating on such a last minute basis. Their two dogs are so sweet and have they have a great setup for dogs, which Bosco clearly loved! Thank you both!!”
“Maria took great care of my French bulldog, Bowie for ~10 days. Sent photos every day and was very responsive to all messages. I would definitely rebook and recommend.”
“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!!!”
“Had an amazing experience with Molly and Stephen and couldn’t recommend them more highly. They took such great care of my boy, and it was clear from the start that he was in loving, capable hands. Communication was excellent throughout. Timely updates, photos, and thoughtful check ins that gave me total peace of mind. Kobe was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when I got him back, which says everything. You can tell they genuinely love dogs and treat them like their own. Reliable, kind, attentive, and trustworthy. Exactly what you hope for when leaving your dog with someone else. We would absolutely book with them again without hesitation. Thank you both for taking such great care of Kobe 🤍🐾”
“We have only left Koba with family or one other sitter so when she told me she would be out of town I was worried about finding another sitter but we got lucky with Mike! We liked that he seemed to understand bully breeds and instantly felt at ease after the meet and greet. Mike kept us updated throughout the day with lots of videos and photos of all their little adventures around scenic SF areas. Koba definitely looked like he was having a blast. He was a little anxious/restless the first night but Mike was super understanding. He was so spoiled with love and attention and I’m so grateful we were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying about our pup. Thank you so much Mike for taking such good care of Koba! Until next time!”
“Erica was super communicative and sent lots of photos of Cody while he stayed with her. She took Cody on adventure walks multiple times a day, and gave him all the cuddles - she even knit him his own cozy blanket! Since he's been home, he's been seeking it out as his place to go and nap. Thank you Erica for being the best!”
“Anurag and his family took great care of Zorro! They were very attuned to his needs and his love for catching his ball. He send pics and videos which made me happy. I highly recommend Anurag and his family!”
“Absolutely wonderful! Julia was able to take Roger at the last minute and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. She took him on several fun adventures and made sure he got plenty of exercise, attention, and love. Roger came home happy and tired, the best sign of a great stay! I’m so grateful for the flexibility and care and would absolutely book with Julia again.”

“Maho is an amazing cat sitter! She went above and beyond and enjoyed playing with my cats, making sure they were comfortable and taken care of. She’s a great communicator and was able to come an extra day on short notice. I highly recommend :)”
About: I grew up around pitbulls, and have had the pleasure of owning two beautiful boys. I provided them with lots of attention, walks, treats, and care. I am comfortable with big dogs and know what it’s like to take them on walks. I have also taken care of my abuela’s poodles, so I have experience with smaller dogs as well. I am also very familiar with taking care of cats! I have catsat for my friend’s multiple times. One was a kitten and the rest were adults. I just now have a cat who is about 3 months old so I provide him with lots of stimulation and cuddles! I am in between jobs so I am available throughout the weekdays. I usually break my day up with walks throughout, so my schedule is extremely flexible. I am a very patient person and know how to provide care and love to all animals. I will take the time to get to know their personalities and interests so that they feel comfortable and excited around me. I am also good at following routines so that nothing feels out of the ordinary!
“Jennifer was a great sitter! We had a last min issue with someone else and when I reached out to Jennifer, they were quick to respond and schedule a meet/greet. They were always on time, reliable, and sweet with our cat Remy. Thank you!”
“This was my very first time leaving my kitten Birdie and I am so grateful for Kara & Val!! Birdie was immediately welcomed in as part of their family and was showered with attention and playtime for the entire weekend. I was more than a bit anxious leaving my baby but Kara was so reassuring and felt much more at ease leaving Birdie in her care. I appreciated all the regular updates and pictures, which helped calm my nerves while I was away. Will definitely be booking Kara & Val again!”
“Nicole was amazing with our cat Mando. He felt at ease right away. You can tell Nicole has a sixth sense and knows what cats want/like. Looking forward to her next visit!”
“Nebula is a special cat and can be finicky, so it was wonderful that Mikele took such great care of her! I felt totally comfortable and confident with Mikele taking care of my family! Thank you!”
“Alex is an excellent sitter! She so clearly loves animals and was so gentle and patient with my shy cat during drop-in visits. She was also very communicative and sent lots of photos and videos. I would definitely recommend!”

“Veronica did a great job of taking care of my cat while I was out of town. She kept up with wet food, meds, and cleaning litter box. I think my cat really enjoyed the time with her and wasn’t so lonely.”
“Very accommodating and helpful! She was willing to come twice a day, and also extend her visits if needed. We really appreciate that she is willing to be a daytime contact for on call visits if necessary. So happy we found a great pet sitter for our new puppy!”
About: I have my own 3 month old kitten! I’ve also raised two other cats from kittens, and have had many roommates with cats of various ages. I didn’t really grow up with cats, but I cat-sat for a friend for the first time when I was 17 and fell in love with them! :)
About: That’s my 5 year-old Calico girl (also have a little dog). I enjoy petting her (when allowed), playing catch (when she feels like it), and brushing. I am a thorough litter sifter. I’m not scared of trimming claws once the trust is established.

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
“Mikele did a great job with my senior dog Sandy. She was kind, communicative, and took lots of pictures. This was my dog’s first time doing doggy daycare. Mikele provided wonderful care and answered all of my questions.”
“Flora and William are just the best in every way! They were so communicative from start to finish, sent great updates, were receptive and responsive to my crazy dog sitting guide and, most importantly, Sunny came home happy (and sleepy!)”
“Amazing! Took a trip to SF and was worried about finding a dog sitter for the day. Very trustworthy and glad he took such great care of her. Definitely will trust him again with my Brisket.”
“Aaron was so intuitive with our somewhat selectively social dog. I could tell he knew how to work with dogs immediately. Aaron also was east to coordinate and communicate with. Quincy can’t wait to stay with Aaron again!”
About: Hi! I’m an experienced foster dog parent and Rover dog sitter. I have fostered four dogs, each for up to two months at a time. I currently have no foster pup and don’t have a resident dog, so your dog will be the only dog in my home. I have experience fostering both younger and senior dogs (including hospice care, partially deaf and blind dogs). I work from home so your dog will seldom be alone, and can take them on walks every 4 hours (4 walks a day) with lots of play time. I am also in a very dog-friendly area, minutes from GGP and Mountain Lake Park. I never take dogs to dog parks and do everything to make your dog feel at home! NOTE: Due to my building’s weight limits I can only board dogs 15lbs or under. I work from home which gives me the flexibility to give your dog lots of attention and ample availability to walk or visit your dog throughout the day! With my attentiveness and experience, I make sure your dog has a fun, safe time with me. I avoid other dogs and children. I always keep dogs on leash during walks, and I don’t go to dog parks/off leash areas.
About: As a dog parent myself, I understand how hard it can be to leave your pup with someone else. I’m attentive to the little things: their routines, body language, favorite activities, quirks, and the things that help them feel secure. I’ll give your dog plenty of affection, playtime, walks, and opportunities to sniff and explore, not just the bare minimum. I’m especially passionate about making dogs feel comfortable in their own environment rather than disrupting their routine. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you never have to wonder how your pup is doing. I work from home on Mondays and Wednesdays, and usually free on weekends to care for your pup. I’d love to be your dog’s best friend!! Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, pet-friendly environment where your pup can feel secure, while keeping a close eye on their routines, body language, and individual needs. I’m mindful about preventing escapes, keeping potentially harmful items out of reach, and making sure dogs have plenty of opportunities to rest, play, sniff, and explore at their own pace. I also take the time to learn about each dog’s personality, triggers, feeding and exercise routines, and any special instructions so their time with me feels as comfortable and familiar as possible. Most importantly, I treat every dog like family and want you to have complete peace of mind knowing your pup is safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.
About: Here to provide a happy and safe place for your dog to stay while you are away. Our house is myself and my 6 year old Aussie mix, Belinda, live blocks from GGP, Ocean Beach, and just a quick drive to Chrissy Beach. Our morning always starts with a beach or trail walk before coming home to relaxing house vibes. We live in a single family home with large full sun backyard with level access to den furnished garage for dog hang out space, otherwise house is fully accessible with work from home energy. We are looking for 2+ year old dogs over 30lbs or more - all dogs must be spayed or neutered and have basic obedience. Our typical routine involves off leash walks and expect dogs to have strong recall and able to be walked on voice control trails. Expecting dogs that can maintain low indoor engergy between active routines for early and end of day 40+ min walks utilizing local nature around Richmond neighborhood. Daily activity routine is commonly a mix of; - Morning beach walk at OB, Chrissy Beach, or Fort Funston (40-60min) - these are typically off leash where allowed but always ensuring a good run about, recall skills are expected. If not comfortable on leash walking can be supported. - Midday neighorhood walk (15-30min) - Local walk around the neighborhood to get sniffs and some movement in - End of day park/beach/trail walk (30-50min) - Depending on day and weather; GGP, Ocean Beach, Stern Grove, Funston etc are used end of day walk. To ensure this is a good match for all the dogs (and people) involved, please make sure when you send a booking request, please update your dog's information (vaccination, age, etc) and send us a message with the answers to the questions below (Due to insurance policy, we can't accept the breed / any mixed-breed of Doberman, Mastiff, Pit Bull, Chow, and Rottweiler). Looking to ensure the dogs have a great time and owners feel good about your time away and trust a safe and fun enviroment is being created for your pet. 1) Is your dog able to be walked off-leash on trails where "off leash under voice control" is allowed with reliable recall response? Recall is when verbal or singled command is given dog returns to comfortable space to either leash or hold based on situation. Belinda and I walk regularly off leash at allowed areas and want to ensure we do not endanger your dog or other's while being off leash together in these areas. 2) Does your dog have any known separation anxiety tendenceies? Either when away from people or when left with other dogs? This could be expressed through whining, barking, destruction of property etc? If so - is your dog crate trained to provide comforting and secure place when errands or other normal life activities are required during stay. 3) Does your dog have watchdog mindset of barking based on common stimuli like footsteps outside, unknown voices, garage doors opening/closing? A space that may have other dogs and work from home activities this type of energy can be stressful to all and may not be an ideal fit. 4) Following a walk, is your dog still "full of energy" - ensuring the energy of the space is maintained during stays, generally house in in relaxing/focused mode between large walks with dogs and humans respectively. 5) Does your dog have any destructive behaviors (shoes, sock, furniture, etc)? Is your dog potty trained? 6) Is your dog comfortable being with multiple dogs? While total dogs are limited to 4, including Belinda, this can still be overwhelming for some dogs and want to make sure this space is the right potential space for your dog. 7) Let me know any other details you think would be helpful to know about your dog - general routines, favorite activities, known reactive situations, possives with toys/treats etc. Schedule typically starts early around 6:15-6:30 for potty and food - then longer morning walk. From there mid day walk is optional based on schedule for the day and how the dogs are doing, large backyard always availbale. End of day another longer walk before dinner and evening hang time, second walk typically never repeats first walk of the day. House has large fenced backyard and one female dog who loves her beach walks, fetch, and hanging with other dogs. Only looking for dogs that match similar energy and get along with others. We want this to be a safe place for all and dogs to delight and owner's to be worry free while your dog stays with us knowing they are being loved and cared for well while here.
“Gage was great with Ziggy during his first week of daycare. He takes the dogs on several walks throughout the day and even brought them to the beach one day. He sent lots of photos and provided detailed updates on how Ziggy’s day went. Overall, Ziggy was very well cared for, and I’ll definitely continue using Gage.”
About: I grew up in a cat household but have had my pup for 12 years since she was a puppy. I love all animals and have grown particularly fond of small dogs since my dog was gifted to me 12 years ago! I only work 3 days a week and on the days I’m home, I’d love to care for your small dog! My girl is used to dogs visiting and I am happy to love on your baby like my own! Dogs are allowed on couches and beds. I never allow them in the backyard without supervision and is not a substitution for regular walks every 2 hours (or more as needed). Also, I am a human nurse so I would be comfortable with administering medications as necessary!
About: I'm a foreigner and I should have left my little Hachi and Bailey in my country with their grandmother, my mom🤣 it's hard to be away from them and my way of spreading the love I feel for animals is by helping to take care of them, even for a couple of hours. I can guarantee that I will take care of them and give them love for as long as you need as if they were mine❤️ The work you currently do leaves me a lot of freedom of time, it can be said that I am my own boss, I can adapt to the time I need to take care of your pets, it would only be a matter of talking about it beforehand and with time. I really have availability every day I don't have dogs at home, my garden is fenced but my apartment is small and I consider it preferable to play or take care of pets in their comfort zone, but I have no problem bringing them home if necessary.

“Samuel did a great job walking Chase every day for a week. He was very communicative and responsive setting up meet and great, and stopping by to pick up instructions and keys. He sent photos of Chase each day on their walks. I would recommend Samuel for dog walking.”
“Jesse was super flexible and took care of my baby with last minute notice! Knowing that he was getting attention and exercise from Jesse put this new dog mom at ease while being at work. Will definitely be a regular of Jesse’s clients!”
“Maya was here in a pinch! She was so gentle with our dog and communicative. She was thoughtful and reached out to me during a rainy day knowing our dog was not a fan of rain to discuss how to modify her visit to allow for indoor entertainment! Would highly recommend.”
About: Hello, I’m Emily! I recently moved to San Francisco after getting married in June. My husband got a job here, so we made the move from Wisconsin and are excited to start this new chapter! I’ve always been a huge dog lover and love dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have my own dog, Finn, a chocolate Lab, at home, so I know how much our dogs mean to us.

I’d love the opportunity to help with dog walking and am happy to work around a time that’s convenient for you! When it comes to dog walking, your dog’s safety and well-being will always be my top priority. I’ll make sure to walk in safe, dog-friendly areas, use the proper equipment, and pay close attention to your dog’s body language and behavior throughout the walk. I’ll also be mindful of weather conditions, traffic, other dogs and people, and anything else that could potentially make your dog uncomfortable or unsafe. I’ll follow any specific instructions or routines you provide and make sure your dog is secure before, during, and after every walk. With my own dog, Finn, his wellness and safety are always my number-one priority, and I bring that same level of care and responsibility to every dog I have the opportunity to look after. I want every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, happy, and well cared for!
“Jeffrey is an excellent dog walker! He’s communicative, caring, and reliable. We can always trust that our dog is in good hands with him. When she was healing a slight injury, he was extra careful, followed all of our care instructions, and gave us detailed updates after each walk. 10/10!”
“Veronica has been phenomenal with my sweet yet hyper furball, Petunia. She always goes the extra mile whether she's watching her for hours at my place or just dropping by for a walk. Could not be happier with Veronica's diligence and care and I can rest easy knowing that my girl is in good hands.”
“Aaron provided excellent care for our dog Honey. He walked her 6x over 2 weeks. Honey was timid the first couple of times, but Aaron was very patient with her while the trust grew. He’s very communicative and flexible which is greatly appreciated. We’ve already booked him for the next time we need dog walking services!”

About: I've had dozens of dogs as a kid as my family would foster dogs and then find them new homes. The breeds would range from chihuahuas to pitbulls to terriers, etc. I was in charge of taking care of them for a good portion of my childhood and went into owning a cat of my own in the middle of college. I have a loving relationship with pets and have been apart of all my childhood pets training process as I watched them grow, and eventually join a dog competition! I can dedicate as much time needed to play with your pups or pets. My availability is completely open right now so just let me know. I have an apartment with a backyard near golden gate park so there is ample walking and green space near me for running around and exercise.

I'm comfortable with feeding schedules, exercise, administering basic medications, litter box maintenance, and providing attentive companionship. As a professional climbing coach, safety, reliability, and communication are central to my work, and I bring those same qualities to pet care. Pet care fits naturally into my routine.

I’m happy to learn how to meet your pet’s individual needs, whether that means extra playtime for your puppy or a little patience with your scaredy cat.
“Bryan is great adapting to the needs of our two dogs. Bryan did a thorough meet and greet and our girls came home happy and ready to relax after each walk. Bryan is patient, calm, and so easy for humans and dogs to be around.”

“Jesse was great! He took amazing care of Wally and he sent me a lot of pics and videos of their time together. Will definitely bring Wally back and would definitely recommend!”
“Sam was an incredible host for our two pups. We are so appreciative of the attention and love she gave them, her communication, and her giving us the peace of mind that they were in the best hands. They were so obviously comfortable and at ease with her. She is very thorough and makes sure that she knows all about the dogs’ habits and routines in order to make their stay is as smooth as possible. We also had to extend our trip and she was very kind to accommodate us. We are so lucky to have found Sam!”
“Alina accepted my boarding request very quickly and was amazing at communicating how my puppy was doing during her stay. Highly recommend Alina for any of her services ☺️”
“Nancy took great care of our Marty boy! Kept us informed with messages and photos throughout his stay, thank you so much Nancy! One of the best Rover experiences we’ve had!”
“Sonia was a great petsitter, actually felt more like an instant friend. We left our three dogs with her for 15 days at felt totally at ease. She kept up on pictures and there was even a party. We will be using Sonia in the future.”
“Our pups were treated like Lil princes, they even got to sleep in her bed. Jill sent me daily pics and videos, and she took them to different parks in the area. When our flight was delayed, she accommodated our last minute change of plans. I love the individualized care she provided. Will definitely take the pups to her from here on out.”
“Honey had a wonderful time in their care! I received daily pictures and video so her playing and being silly. I felt relaxed knowing she was in a safe space. We met a week before the booking to ensure it was a good match, which made me feel more at ease. She was excellently taken care of and I would book them again! Highly recommend.”
About: Hi there! I've been a pet owner my entire life. I grew up with cats and dogs of all breeds and I've been caring for pets as long as I can remember. Now, for the first time in my life, I don't have any pets, and honestly, I miss having them around - which is exactly why I'm excited to care for yours! I was active in 4-H and trained Belgian Sheepdogs in positive-reinforcement based obedience. I've owned dogs as small as a Japanese Chin and as big as a Newfoundland, so I understand different dog temperaments and energy levels. I've also been watching friends' and neighbors' pets for several years, including high-anxiety cats, senior dogs, and recent rescues - helping them to feel calm and secure while away from their family. I work from home full-time, so your pet will never be left alone for long. For play time, potty break, and snuggles, I'll be there. I can easily walk dogs multiple times a day and will be around most of the day to keep any dog or cat visiting me company. Sometimes I may pop out for a gym session or grocery run, but that's about it. I mostly just miss having a pet so I'll be so happy to be around yours! I have no pets of my own currently. I live in a secure, quiet apartment. Depending on pet needs and temperament, they can have the run of the apartment or be limited to the main living room (which is where I work). My apartment has no yard but I'm in a great neighborhood for walks and I make sure doggies get plenty of fresh air. Since it is an apartment, if your dog is extremely active and boisterous, they may be happier boarding somewhere with more room to run.
“Ellen was an amazing caretaker for our dog. She made sure he was comfortable with her 2 dogs before we committed to a few nights of him staying at her home. She sent daily updates and pictures, which I always appreciate. She and her partner were the best company for our dog! Will call them again.”
About: Hi! I'm an artist working from home who loves spending time with dogs and cats! I often pet sit for friends, from short visits to boarding for several days, so I’m very comfortable with daily routines like walks, feeding, playtime, and just keeping pets company so they feel safe and happy. I also tend to take way too many photos, so you can expect lots of photo updates while I'm with your pet! I work from home doing freelance work, so my schedule is pretty flexible and I’m able to plan my day around pet care, whether that’s walks, drop-ins, or staying with them for longer periods. I’m available for boarding, house sitting, and walks, and I like keeping a consistent routine so pets feel comfortable and not rushed. I live in an apartment right next to Washington Square Park and Coit Tower, so it’s really easy to get dogs out for nice long walks and some additional short walks to get some fresh air! I also have a 3-year-old cat who’s used to being around dogs. I keep my place clean and calm, and I pay attention to how each pet is feeling so they’re comfortable. I’m also happy to follow any routines or instructions so things feel familiar for them.
“Kara & Val were absolutely wonderful with our high-maintenance Frenchie! They handled frequent meals, four different medications, and pet messes with ease. Their communication was stellar, and we were actually able to relax on our trip. Plus, our pup enjoyed sunbathing on their patio and snoozing in their laps. We have grown to really trust them and will definitely book again.”
“Had an amazing experience with Molly and Stephen and couldn’t recommend them more highly. They took such great care of my boy, and it was clear from the start that he was in loving, capable hands. Communication was excellent throughout. Timely updates, photos, and thoughtful check ins that gave me total peace of mind. Kobe was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when I got him back, which says everything. You can tell they genuinely love dogs and treat them like their own. Reliable, kind, attentive, and trustworthy. Exactly what you hope for when leaving your dog with someone else. We would absolutely book with them again without hesitation. Thank you both for taking such great care of Kobe 🤍🐾”
“We have only left Koba with family or one other sitter so when she told me she would be out of town I was worried about finding another sitter but we got lucky with Mike! We liked that he seemed to understand bully breeds and instantly felt at ease after the meet and greet. Mike kept us updated throughout the day with lots of videos and photos of all their little adventures around scenic SF areas. Koba definitely looked like he was having a blast. He was a little anxious/restless the first night but Mike was super understanding. He was so spoiled with love and attention and I’m so grateful we were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying about our pup. Thank you so much Mike for taking such good care of Koba! Until next time!”
“Anurag and his family took great care of Zorro! They were very attuned to his needs and his love for catching his ball. He send pics and videos which made me happy. I highly recommend Anurag and his family!”
“We had a great experience boarding our pup with Go. He is very quick to respond, communicates clearly and is very pleasant and friendly. We had a meet and greet twice before we actually left my pup with Go and his wife. They were kind to Hira, asked good questions, clearly went through my care instructions. We felt comfortable boarding for almost 3 weeks. Throughout the stay Go sent pictures, and kept us informed. They took Hira to the park every day and she seemed very happy and comfortable with them. We will definitely rebook for our next trip! Highly recommend! Thanks Go!”
“Having used Rover many times, I can confidently say that Alen is one of the best sitters I’ve worked with. He is very communicative and caring, and he took amazing care of my dog Raphael when I was traveling. I could tell Raphael was very happy and comfortable with Alen, and they got to do so many fun activities together. He really went above and beyond to care for Raphael and I am so grateful for his care.”
“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.”
“Absolutely wonderful! Julia was able to take Roger at the last minute and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. She took him on several fun adventures and made sure he got plenty of exercise, attention, and love. Roger came home happy and tired, the best sign of a great stay! I’m so grateful for the flexibility and care and would absolutely book with Julia again.”
