“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
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.
“Bee was an absolute lifesaver. We had a sudden family emergency and had to leave the country for two weeks. We needed someone to care for Presley at the last minute, and it was our first time ever leaving him, so we were understandably nervous. When we picked him up, we could tell he had been well cared for. Presley came home excited and healthy, which gave us so much comfort during such a difficult time. Her rates may be a little higher than some other sitters, but it was absolutely worth it for the peace of mind—especially with our last-minute dog sitting needs. We highly recommend Bee. Thank you!”
“Nathan took great care of Primo. Communication was easy from start to finish, and he sent regular updates with photos, which we really appreciated. Primo came home relaxed and happy, and it was clear he had been well looked after. We’d definitely book with Nathan again. Thanks!”
“Lynn is amazing and very professional! She took great care of Leo and it was great to see Leo socializing with other dogs. Leo fell sick and Lynn took him to hospital as soon as she thought it was necessary. We felt at ease knowing the way she looked after Leo. Highly recommend Lynn!”
“Anne is wonderful!! Our dog, Harry has stayed with Anne several times. Anne takes Harry on long walks a few times a day. She always sends updates with photos. We always feel comfortable leaving our baby with Anne. She makes him feel like family!”
“Shelley was a wonderful host for our pup, Pepper. It was our first time leaving Pepper with a sitter and he had a great time. Shelley was attentive and accommodating of all his needs (we’re still working on leash walks and some reactivity). Shelley sent lots of updates and photos/videos of the fun adventures they had together. Additionally, Shelley was willing to meet up beforehand to make sure Pepper was comfortable. She also arranged playdates with her friend’s corgi who was a perfect playmate for Pepper. Overall, we really enjoyed working with Shelley, and Pepper came back happy and relaxed.”
“Sally did a great job. She was really communicative. You can tell she loves dogs. She asked many questions ahead of time to ensure that she could provide a good experience for my dog which made me feel like she was well prepared. Her dog Cosmo is very sweet and got along well with my dog”
“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.”
“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.”
“As always, Gabrielle and Paddy take loving care of our precious’s Micco. We received daily updates and pictures, even a video of our curious boy checking out a box. I highly recommend Gabrielle and Paddy as sitters/boarders.”
“Our second time leaving our dog with Wendy and I can't stress just how well Wendy looks after her. Our girl Obi and Wendy's dog Remi get along really well and enjoy long walks and endless play sessions together. Obi always comes back happy and tired.”
“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.”
“Jenna took fantastic care of my little epileptic dog while I was gone for a week. It can be nerve wracking to leave him because his medication schedule is complicated, but she was kind and communicative and I felt so comfortable knowing he was having a fabulous time with her. Thank you Jenna!”
“Faviano provided the best dog sitting environment ever. He sent great photos, regular updates, and was flexible and responsive. He obviously loves dogs.”
“Terry and her husband were so kind and caring. My dog is often anxious in new situations and it was so nice to see her at ease in the photos and playing with Terry's dog! I will definitely book again.”

“Kylie took such great care of my cat Summer! It was my first time using Rover and as an anxious cat mom I was immediately reassured by Kylie's presence. She shared tons of pictures, videos and gave detailed updates on check-ins.”
“Caroline took care of my cat for 5 days while I was out of town. She sent me lots of pictures and he was so happy to spend time with her. I will definitely ask her to watch him again !”
“Really grateful that Sammy could help us take care of Pepper for the 2nd time on a last minute request. Sammy performed all the duties required, gave very detailed updates and even sent multiple photos of Pepper even though she was hiding under the bed. We always feel assured that Pepper is well taken care of with Sammy!”
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of my little one! I appreciated the consistent and frequent updates / photos. I never had a doubt that Iuri was in great hands with your visits. Highly recommend!”
“Maddi was wonderful! She sent tons of pictures and was able to accommodate all the requests I had for the kitties. It was nice to have a worry-free experience. Thank you!!!!!!!!”
About: Hello ! Although I am new to Rover, I've taken care of dogs and cats most of my life and have always had a natural connection with them. When they're in my care I treat them as if they are my own babies. In recent years I have often taken care of my sister's dog Juniper. We have a special bond and she's taught me so much about being a dog aunt :) I helped train her as a puppy and watching her grow up has been a source of so much joy in my life. Many people have observed my warm way with animals especially cats and dogs. I am very attentive, affectionate and protective with them. With that said I also know how to read them and respect their space/needs. I am currently finishing up my degree this Fall semester and have class once a week. I am flexible most of the week including weekends. I am available to dog or cat sit. If your dog or cat has special needs I am able to provide basic support and care. I am also available for dog walking services as well.
“Elise is the best! She is so attentive, gives great updates and photos. My cat just adores her. She really went above and beyond to make sure our cat was ok - cleaning up throw up, litter box and keeping us updated on medical stuff. So thankful for her!”
“Noelle did drop-in visits with my cats while I was out of town and everything was great! She communicated about how everything was going and sent multiple photos each visit. Would recommend her services :)”
“Celine was so amazing! It is always nerve wracking leaving your pet with someone else, but she kept in touch and sent lots of photos! Beans took an instant liking to her and I had no doubt that my pet was safe and happy. Will definitely book with her again!”
“I will book Avery again and again for sitting needs and highly recommend for the best care of your pets too! I was actually lucky enough to have Avery cat sit for my bud Midnight when we needed it most. It’s the worst case scenario but while sitting Midnight had a medical incident that was purely a result of his age. Avery called me and I was with her over FaceTime as she talked to him, comforted him, and loaded him to go to the vet. It’s a scary situation and was so thankful for her care while I was away. For someone to be so sweet and organized and caring in a situation like that I’m so so grateful. Not to mention the oh so happy pictures of the treats and pets while she was checking in! Should have left this review a while ago :) thank you Avery!”
“Alex took wonderful care of my cat Maya, I knew she was well taken care of in my absence. My cat was happy as evident from the great pictures Alex took on her visits. She even took care of my plants!”
“I couldn’t ask for a more caring, responsible person to care for our three cats while we were away. She provided for their diverse feeding requirements, got to be friends and played with them every visit, reported on what she and the cats did, and sent us photos after each visit. An outstanding person. You can unreservedly trust your cats with her.”
“Andy is the best pet sitter any pet parent can ask for. We had to go out of the country for two weeks, the longest we’ve been away from home and pet. Andy took care of our home and looked after our cat during the entire time, playing with her, keeping her engaged and sending us constant updates and pictures of her. By the end of the stay the two had bonded which was really surprising to us considering our cat gets nervous when we leave. Highly recommend Andy and we’ll definitely want him over for any of our future pet sitting needs.”
“Rachel is such a great pet sitter. You can tell she loves animals, and my cat Franklin loved the attention and playtime while I was away. Would hire her again!”

“Sally took great care of my anxious little dog, giving her long walks and plenty of personal space, as she is afraid of strangers. I’ll definitely book her the next time I need a sitter.”
“Derek & Stella were great with Benny! Very communcative, easy drop off/pickup and he came back tired. Would absolutely use them again and do reccomend!”
About: I’ve been a devoted dog dad for 18 years, most recently caring for my senior baby through her final years, including a custom home-cooked diet for kidney health. I said goodbye to her earlier this year, and while I’m not ready to bring home a baby of my own just yet, I miss having one around every day. Sitting and boarding lets me give that same love and attention to other babies in the meantime. I know how to spot subtle changes in appetite, energy, and mood, and I treat every baby in my care like my own. I work from home full-time in a flexible role, so your baby gets consistent company and attention all day, not just quick check-ins. I’m available for daytime care and overnight boarding. Your baby stays in a calm, quiet home with my full attention, no chaotic multi-dog daycare energy. I live right near a park, so your pup gets as many walks as they need to stay active and socialized, not just a quick backyard break. I’m also experienced with senior dogs, special diets, and medication schedules, and I treat every stay like I’m caring for family.
“Auntie Anne is the best! She takes great care of my pup as if it were her own. She is very responsible, communicative, caring and I am so grateful for her care of my dog!”
“Leo was wonderful with my dog — attentive, caring, and reliable. I could tell my pup felt comfortable and happy the whole time. Great communication and updates throughout. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!”
“Mary-Frances took such good care of our pup, Paprika! This was Paprika’s first time staying with someone outside of family and Mary-Frances made her feel right at home. She also gave me updates throughout the day which made us feel at ease leaving Paprika for the first time! Paprika had a fun-filled day of walks and playtime. She didn’t want to leave when we picked her up 😆 I would recommend Mary-Frances to anyone and can’t wait to have her watch our pup again.”
“Ms Shanice is a very gentle person. My doggie seems she had a great time at her place. Also her doggie is the perfect assistant!! It was the first time for our doggie to stay in the dog day care or with someone else, but our family is very happy that Ms. Shanice could help our doggie for the new experience.”
“Alex took good care of Ben for a few hours, made sure he walked, and got some energy out during that time. He also send a few pictures and gave us all the information about his stay. Thank you!”
“Danielle continues to be our go to for dog care! She is SO communicative, takes affordable photos of the pups, and gives them plenty of love and exercise. Danielle goes above and beyond for our furry family and know she would for you also. 10/10 recommend. Thank you always Danielle!!!”
“When our dog sitter had to cancel at the last minute, Dylan came to the rescue! With almost no notice, he took in our pups and took such great care of them. He stayed in touch, sending updates and pics, and was very flexible with our schedule. We are so appreciative of Dylan and would recommend him to others in or traveling to the San Francisco area.”
“Celia was amazing!! I will be booking with her again for boarding and the occasional day sit. I newly adopted my boy, he is about 1 year old and is learning a lot and adjusting to his new life - all which Celia was more than understanding! She provided many photos and updates throughout the day which made me feel so at ease. Highly recommend!”

“Kelvin is VERY affectionate and caring towards all the pups he takes care of! My dog loves going to Kelvins and whines when it's time to leave ("grandparents syndrome"!!) He takes several pics, spend alot of time at the parks and walking the dogs. I highly recommend Kelvin to anyone needing either long-term or short-term care.”
About: I’ve cared for 2 cats and 1 dog since I was 19. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets! I work from home full-time in my apartment, which has a built-in dog park. Therefore, my schedule is pretty flexible on weekdays and weekends. I usually walk dogs in the morning and night time. I can also walk around the lunch time. I have a security alarm and camera in my apartment, so I can always monitor the pet running inside or outside.
“Another great stay at Betty’s! Coco can be anxious and hesitant with new people and dogs, but Betty is great at working with Coco so she feels comfortable. This was the second stay with Betty and Coco was so excited to go in when we arrived!”
“Nala had an amazing time with Diana today! Diana was very communicative and sent lots of photos throughout the day. She was very attentive to Nala and asked a lot of questions leading up to the stay so she was well prepared to take care of Nala. They seemed to have so much fun together, and that’s all I could ask for ☺️ Highly recommend Diana!”
“Gabrielle was able to take Bullet last minute. Super flexible with the drop off and pick up time. Bullet loved staying with Gabrielle and Patrick!”
About: I’ve had small dogs since I was little, but I rescued my soul dog, Leica, from Muttville in 2017. Over the years, I administered lots of cheese pills and brushed the few teeth he had. We went on lots of adventures from the office to the beach and mountains. Unfortunately his last 6 months were fraught with a neurological disorder. I believe it’s a honor to care for senior dogs and keep them comfortable as a small return of the love they given. While it was a honor, it was not easy and it gave me a deep understanding of the needs of senior dogs. I love all dogs but the little old ones are extra special to me ❤️ Any dog or cat I care for, I will do so with 100% attention, love, respect for them and your home, and routines. Because I really do care so deeply about their health and safety, I will not be caring for more than one pet at a time. And of course as a long time Rover customer, I know clear communication and photos are essential. Looking forward to meeting you, your pet, and happy to answer any questions you have! Currently working remote so I can flex my day more or less to your dog’s walk and feed routine. Usually around 8:30, 12:30, and 5:30. We’ll relax or play in the evening depending on their temperament. I have no other pets and many options for areas of my apartment where they can be set up to feel at home. No backyard but very close to the park. Up three flights of stairs but happy to carry smaller dogs if that’s what they need. I also still have a dog stroller for less mobile friends! For their safety I won’t ever let them off leash.
“Carlotta is great, my dog has a great time and she is very communicative. Having a larger dog it’s always great finding someone who feels comfortable with them. 100% recommend!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and truly love spending time with them. I’m patient, reliable, and understand that every dog has their own personality and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, sniffing every tree, or just wants company, I’ll make sure they feel safe and cared for. I’m happy to follow detailed instructions, keep routines consistent, administer basic medications if needed, and send plenty of photo updates so you know your pet is having a great time. I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own. While I’m new to Rover, I’ve cared for pets for friends, family, and neighbors over the years. I’m excited to build my profile by providing dependable care and making sure every pet feels comfortable and loved. I’m getting married next year and would love to make a bit of additional income doing something I’m genuinely passionate about :) I work remotely with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of flexibility for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. Mondays are my in-office day, but otherwise I’m available most weekdays and weekends and am happy to work around your pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll always follow your instructions closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, medications, preferred walking routes, or special routines. I believe in clear communication and will send photo updates after every visit so you always know how your pet is doing. I’ll treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I would my own.

“Elise was fantastic! She walked our dog for 7 days when we were out of town, for 1 hour-long walks. Every day she made rover cards with photo updates, and commentary about our dog and their adventures on the walk! He looked very happy! Would use Elise again in a heartbeat!”
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs, specifically Labs and Golden Retrievers since I was born. I love to go on walks and to the parks for myself and would love to bring your dog along for the fun! I live in the Russian Hill area and have my days free before 7am and after 10:30am so I can take care of your pup during the times you have to go to work! I am a full-time law student and my schedules vary day to day with Mondays and Wednesday being my only time I’m unavailable. I typically end school around 10:30 on Tuesdays and Thursdays and can be back to take care of your pet after that! I cannot bring your dog back to my apartment as it is very small, but know how to keep a home clean and as you left it! I grew up with Labs, so I’m very familiar with cleaning up after them, and will ensure your pup is happy and comfortable in your space and on walks!
About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life, and I understand how important it is to find someone you genuinely trust with your pet. I also have experience caring for a dog with fear based aggression and anxiety. I worked closely with our veterinarian and a behavioral specialist, including medication management, 1:1 training and learning how to recognize triggers and help him feel safe. That experience taught me the importance of patience, consistency and meeting each dog exactly where they are. I work from home full-time, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, regular walks, playtime and companionship throughout the day. I’m comfortable following detailed feeding, medication and care routines, and I’ll treat your dog with the same love and attention I’ve always given my own. I work from home full-time, so pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I’m typically up around 6am and am available for morning walks, midday breaks, playtime, meals, and evening walks. Since I’m home throughout the day, I can provide plenty of companionship and adjust to your dog’s usual schedule and needs. As a registered nurse, I’m naturally attentive to details, changes in behavior, routines, and overall wellbeing. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, activity restrictions, and behavioral needs. I also have experience caring for anxious and fear-reactive dogs and pay close attention to body language and comfort levels. My home has a private, fully fenced outdoor patio, which gives dogs a secure space to get fresh air and relax between walks. Pets are welcome to settle in wherever they feel most comfortable, and my goal is to provide a calm, safe, loving environment that feels like home.
“Elric was great with my dog! Definitely recommend him to anyone who is looking for a dog walker. He was also super responsive and was able to help me out last minute. Also provided updates throughout the walk. Thanks Elric!!”

“Carolyn is nice, communicative, reliable, and trustworthy. She walked my dogs every day at least once per day (occasionally booked for twice per day) for about 1.5 weeks while I was at work. I would book with her again.”
About: I grew up with dogs and have been enjoying caring for friends’ and family’s dogs while they travel for over 15 years. I was responsible for full time dog care up to 2 weeks including feeding, daily companionship when remote working and walking or hiking with dogs as well as overnight stays. Recently retired and expanding my dog walking/care to more pets. I recently retired and very flexible weekday hours, but away many weekends. If in town, I can likely open times for weekend days as well. My hours during the day are also quite flexible currently.

“Kylie has been nothing short of amazing for my two pups Mango and Mercy. My dogs are aloof and slow to warm up to strangers but Kylie has been sooo patient, kind, and gentle with them. They both absolutely ADORE her.”
About: Meet your pet’s new favorite aunt! As a former pet parent with a current empty nest, I have over 15 years of pet care experience. This includes caring for my friend’s and family’s pets, ranging from stopping by to stimulate and pet their cat for an hour or two, to watching their dog for multiple nights. I live just hills away from some of the best parks in the city (imo), providing your pets with ample opportunities for time outside for relief, running, or even just some much-needed sun bathing. Open to working out specific needs/requests as they come up. I currently work full-time at Stanford University, but currently work from home three days a week. My work from home days offer ample opportunities for walks, park time, and just plain attention for your pet. Pets are welcome on the furniture in my home and are taken on a walk to relieve themselves. Dogs must be able to alert for the need to relieve themselves, otherwise walks will be taken every 3-5 hours. For care in client’s home, the client’s rules apply.
“Rachael has been amazing with my older, but energetic pup, Jonah! Jonah has some quirks and has to be watched pretty carefully on walks around the neighborhood (he likes to graze) and Rachael has adapted so well to his walks and demand for pets! Would definitely recommend her to take care of your pet.”

I have experience with dogs of all sizes/ breeds and I would love to care for your fur baby!

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.”
“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.”
“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 ☺️”
“Yasmim and Kaline went above and beyond to make sure that Jack felt comfortable and secure while I visited my family. Jack has bad separation anxiety, and I really appreciated their efforts. They kept me well informed with frequent messages, photos, and videos, and I could see that Jack was chilling and relaxed. They even captured his goofy smile! Jack takes several medications, and they dosed him on time and without complaint from him. I highly recommend them!”
About: I’ve taken care of all dogs, and had an English Cream Golden Retriever named Lucy growing up. I trained her as a puppy and cared for her all the way into senior care. I’m great with all pet ages, don’t mind washing/cleaning your pet, giving long walks, or anything else your pet loves to do. I will always make sure your pet has the best time when they’re with me! Pet care is best for me from Thursdays - Sundays, as well as holidays. I work full time in person, but am back home usually by 5:15. I make sure to write down everything about the dog. Eating schedule, bathroom schedule, etc. Recently, I just set up a camera for the dog I just dogsat to make sure nothing is going wrong. I clean the dog’s paws to ensure that they aren’t dirtying the home. I also vacuum and wipe down once a day. I would love to meet you and your pet!
“We just completed a great get away to Napa, which means our dog had another wonderful stay with Leo and his family. I am so grateful for his flexibility when scheduling and his willingness to take care of Max. Our dog loves his time at his home away from home with Leo!”
“Katie was fantastic with our little lady! She provided lots of picture updates, communicated great, and I could tell Cedar had a great time with her. I trust Katie to take good care of our dog :) grateful!”
“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!”
“Kaz and Yoko are absolutely fantastic sitters! This is the first time Izzy has stayed with someone that isn’t family and she was so happy and well cared for. I am so glad to have found sitters who I trust completely and who Izzy loves so much. I loved how communicative they were with me and would send me photos everyday and I could see all the fun Izzy was having. Izzy is looking forward to her next stay with them in two weeks! Thank you!”
“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!”
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.
“Zubin did an amazing job with my dog Dino! He went above and beyond when Dino was having some bad allergies and went to the pet store to get special shampoo for him and bathed him! He was super communicative and sent lots of updates throughout. I could tell he was in good care :)”
“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!”
“Summer was so great with Louie! He tends to be shy and take a while to warm up to new humans but he loved summer and came back calm and happy! Summer was such a great communicator and very flexible with making a last minute reservation work despite some travel plans. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to watch their pup 🐶”
“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.”
