“We couldn’t be happier with the care Xeno received! Boris and Olga sent great updates and photos that kept us at ease. Xeno came back super happy and clearly well-rested—we’ll definitely be booking with them again.”
“Just like everyone’s fear specially your if you ever trust someone to care your family member. No doubt Leah is very kind, loving to my little fur (Hershey). She keep us posted everyday just like having a dairy for our dog. She will make sure that we have a piece of mind not to worry about our dog when we are away. I will definitely recommend her to anyone who loves their fur. Big Thank You Leah and her partner as well.”
“Iggy had a wonderful time at Michael’s. Before booking and throughout the process, Michael was very effective and prompt in our communication. After meeting Michael at the meeet and greet, we decided to proceed. Michael and Kris took great care of Iggy during his 4 night stay. Michael sent us updates and when my partner picked up Iggy, he could tell that Iggy had been well taken care of and come to love it there as well. Thank you for taking care of our baby!”
“Malika was an amazing cat sitter for Gigi! Gigi is very shy and cautious around new people, but Malika was very patient and knew how to help her feel comfortable. Gigi is also a 16 year old senior cat with a more specific feeding routine, and Malika followed everything carefully. She sent regular updates a few times a day which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Malika was communicative and very knowledgeable about cats. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter!”
“Sofiya was awesome! I appreciate the daily updates of pictures and videos to put my mind at ease knowing my furbaby was safe while I was out of town. I will definitely look to re-book with Sofiya in the future!”
“Nabil took wonderful care of Raisin for two days. It was Raisin’s first time staying away from home, so we were a little nervous, but Nabil and Sunny made her feel comfortable and safe. She quickly warmed up to them, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she was well cared for and treated with kindness. We truly appreciated the updates and the loving care Raisin received. I would highly recommend Nabil to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter!”
“TR is TeRrific!!!! She takes great care of my cat and is very responsible. She always sends me pics and videos too. I have used her twice and will use her again every time i go out of town. Thanks TR!!!!!!”
“This is the second time yami has stayed with Joyce. Joyce provided frequent updates about how yami was doing and her family showed yami a lot of care and attention.”
“Christopher and his wife took such great care of our dog Zoey while we were away. We got text updates on how she was doing and photos and videos too! It helped us feel at ease knowing she was well taken care of. The meet and greet before hand helped to confirm our decision to book with them and we are so glad we did!”
“Couldnt have asked for a better home for our pooch to stay the weekend. Julie was amazing sending us pics throughout. Love to have our pooch spend time with her and her dogs again for sure!”
“We found ourselves in a bind and needed someone to watch our dog on incredibly short notice after our last pet sitter canceled on us. Dropoff and pickup were smooth and had no issues the entire time our dog was there. If you are looking for a reliable, professional, and genuinely compassionate pet sitter who can save the day in a pinch, look no further. Five stars for Lindsey all the way!”
“Minh is so nice and accommodating. Very easy to work with. This was our first time using Rover and we could not be more pleased with the experience. She sent us picture updates regularly, she provided a safe and clean environment for our dogs. We could not be happier. Thank you, Minh!”
“This was our puppy’s very first time being boarded, and I was honestly quite nervous at the beginning. Queenie&Yu-Chieh made the whole experience so easy and gave us so much peace of mind. Communication was great from the start — she asked thoughtful questions about his routine, food, and quirks, and throughout the stay she sent lots of photos and updates so we always knew how he was doing. Our puppy is still young and full of energy, which definitely means extra work (potty breaks, training, supervision, etc.), but she handled him with so much patience and kindness. Her home is clean, safe, and very dog-friendly, and her own dog Summer was gentle and welcoming with our boy. When we picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly very comfortable with her and her home. We’re very grateful to have found Queenie & Yu-Chieh and would absolutely book with her again. I highly recommend her to anyone, especially if you have a dog boarding for the first time — she truly made us feel safe and well taken care of.”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I have a super friendly but needy beagle, so I know what it takes. I treat our dog like a child. My home is setup with a lot of dog beds and lounge areas. I live in a very walkable area with a small secluded dog park nearby. I work from home so I’m flexible during the day on weekdays. On average I am available every other weekend. Hoping to find dog owners who can also care for my dog down the line when needed. I don’t have a yard but I have a good amount of space inside. I go on 3 walks a day! I have a 35 lb beagle who is very friendly. I prefer to care for small/medium dogs since I live in a townhome.
“Yoona and Minjae are amazing with our senior dog Lucky. He gets a ton of stimulation throughout the day, it is a lot of fun for him. He enjoys Buddy as well, they seem like a great pair. We hope to continue booking with them again and again!”
“Xiuhui is an amazing dog sitter and made our first boarding experience so smooth and stress-free. My dog was very nervous at the beginning, but Xiuhui was incredibly patient, experienced, and caring, and helped him adjust to the new environment very quickly. She sent me daily updates and treated my baby like her own dog, which gave me so much peace of mind. Communication was always fast and thoughtful, and I truly felt my dog was in the best hands. Highly recommend!”

“Leilani was amazing -- we would hire her again in a heart beat. Super on time and went above & beyond on communicating with us actively on how our kitty was doing. Even when our kitty had a throw up incident on Leilani's last day with her, Leilani cleaned it up + was very gracious about it. Thank you!”
“Diana was absolutely amazing with our little cat. We were abroad for 3 weeks and she was booked in for a home stay to live in with our cat. She treated our cat as her own and looked after her so well, and gave us lots of updates on her, which gave us so much peace of mind. Diana also treated our home so respectfully and it was so clean and well kept to return to. Our cat definitely loved her company too and got comfortable with her really quickly. I believe we have found our forever pet sitter for any future trips away too. Thank you so much for the perfect 3 weeks for our cat.”
“This was our second time, having Sam look after our 3 kitties. She did a great job keeping them calm and cared for. Sam visited our house for 4 days and did a great job feeding the cats, keeping them safe and entertained. We were able to enjoy our time away knowing that Sam was there to help!”
“Ni did a wonderful job watching over our cat while we were gone for 5 days. She is very thoughtful, communicative, and attentive to providing great care for our cat. Great photos, videos, and updates were given so we had nothing to worry about while we were gone on vacation. She even took the time to get our cat a new toy which he loves! We can tell our cat misses Ni too. We would recommend Ni to anyone if they ever need a pet sitter and we will be sure to contact Ni again if we ever need her assistance.”
About: I’ve spent years caring for cats through long term fostering and frequent pet sitting for friends and neighbors. My own cat is currently back home with family while I get settled here, but cats have stayed a constant part of my life. I’m detail oriented and reliable. I send timely updates and photos during every visit, so you always know your cat is happy, fed, and comfortable. I’m also mindful of how different cats are, some love attention and play, others prefer quiet company, and I adjust to what your cat needs. Please feel free to message me if you have any questions!
About: I have always had at least one cat around me! I can’t imagine a world without pets, and I don’t want to! I have experience anywhere from a cat like my own (quiet, shy), my best friend’s cat who is very hyper, does not like to be pet, and only wants to eat, to many other cats who do enjoy playing or being loved on. I love every kind of cat and I would love to care for yours!
“We had a great experience! She took wonderful care of my fur baby. Muffin was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We really appreciate her kindness and attention to detail, and would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Estefania was awesome with my cats and I’m excited to book with her again! She proactively checked in with me about questions and noticed that my younger cat was desperate to play so she brought over some of her own toys which he loved :)”
“Laura was a great cat sitter! My cat is super shy and Laura made her feel comfortable enough to come out and interact and get pets. She also sent me multiple pictures and an update each day, which was very appreciated since this was my first time leaving my cat with someone I didn't personally know.”
“Dylan took excellent care of my two cats. He made sure Gizmo got his medication, fed both cats correctly, and kept the litter box clean. Thank you for the adorable photos of Luna and Gizmo during each visit. They are looking forward to seeing you next time :)”
About: Cats have been a huge part of my life for 15 years, and I currently share my home with two of my own. Living with them has taught me that every cat has a unique personality, communication style, and comfort level. I enjoy taking the time to earn a cat’s trust rather than expecting every interaction to happen on my schedule. I love finding ways to engage with my cats beyond their daily care. I’ve taught them several tricks, and one even uses speech buttons to communicate! Those experiences have shown me that patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement can go a long way when working with animals. I’m also comfortable giving oral medications and eye drops when needed, having done both with my own cats. Whether your cat is energetic and playful or prefers quiet companionship from a respectful distance, I’ll provide attentive care while following their routine and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved.
“As always Sarah was amazing and communicative with us and took wonderful care of our cats! She understands them so well, we're always comfortable knowing she's the one taking care of them while we're away. Thank you Sarah!”
“Yifei provided plenty of photos and updates, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My cat seemed very comfortable with her, and he was perfectly happy and well cared for when I got back. I would highly recommend her and book her again!”
About: I’ve grown up with animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, and small pets like gerbils. I have a calm, patient, and friendly demeanor that helps me quickly build trust with animals of all personalities. As a dedicated animal lover, I treat every pet like family. I understand how important peace of mind is when you’re away, so I make it a priority to provide regular updates and photos to keep you reassured. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and pets who require medication, and I’m attentive to their individual needs and routines I am available most days out of the week, and on weekends. I currently work from home, so I can assure you that your pet will get all the attention and love they deserve! When boarding pets in my home, they are provided with a private, comfortable space in a dedicated spare bedroom to help them feel safe and relaxed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I am respectful of all household rules, maintain cleanliness, and provide regular updates and photos to ensure peace of mind while you’re away.
“This was our first time using Sara when our usual sitter was unavailable and she was great! She was very attentive during the initial meeting and it's very assuring to have a vet tech as our sitter as our cat gets older. She took fantastic care of our cat, going above and beyond! She sent lots of photos as well.”

“Let me just say, Julie ROCKS! She has been a saving grace for me moving up here to San Jose on a quick notice! She takes great care of my 3-1/2 month old Gemma. Bring your fur kids here! Gemma would love to wrestle with them… and She has a sweet older dog and daughter who Gemma loves! I’m going to leave it at that, because to be honest I could go on and on about how pleased I am and what a help she’s been!”
About: Hands-on experience working alongside a professional dog trainer. Through that experience, I learned how to better understand dog behavior, reinforce training routines, and confidently care for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, a puppy, or a senior, I'll provide patient, personalized care while following your pet's normal routine. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you're away. I believe communication is key, so you'll receive regular photo updates and messages for peace of mind. My goal is simple: to provide a safe, fun, and stress-free experience for both you and your dog. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend!

Once I’ve gotten to know your dog or cat, I’m also happy to offer boarding. I live in an apartment with dog parks, which makes walks and outdoor time easy. For both walking and boarding, I only take care of one pet at a time, so your pet gets my full attention and a calm, low stress environment. I’m open to boarding for pets I’ve already met and feel comfortable with.
About: Hi! I’m Pei :) Caring for animals has always come naturally to me, and spending time with dogs is something I genuinely enjoy. Friends and family have trusted me with their pets, and I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality, routines, and quirks. I previously cared for a friend’s dog for several weeks and truly enjoyed being part of their daily routine. Whether it was walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I loved making sure they felt happy, safe, and loved while their owner was away. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision. My goal is to provide a calm, comfortable, and loving environment where your dog feels like part of the family. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep you updated with photos, and treat your dog with the same care and attention I would give my own.

Your pet will receive plenty of attention, supervision, and affection while staying with me. I'm available on both weekdays and weekends and am happy to send regular photo updates so you can see how your furry family member is doing.

I treat every pet like family and always provide regular updates, photos, and clear communication for complete peace of mind.
About: I've had my own dog ever since I can remember a family dog was always there and I was never without one. I enjoy a dog's company and I'm sure undermine, your dog will feel right at home. I do work full time however my schedule is flexible to come home to give breaks and once I'm home from work they have my full attention with walks until bedtime. The weekend, I am home providing walks and care. Plenty of play time with my dog as well. I live in an apartment which across the street we have a small dog fenced area and as well as a convenient walking area in the surround premises.
“Melissa & Tommy are genuinely such good to honest animal loving people. We are so appreciative of their patience and calm demeanor around our furbabies. Our furbabies are a lot to handle. One of them has high anxiety to loud sounds, movements, strangers and the little one is a snuggly rascal. But Melissa & Tommy handled and cared for them with so much love. We are grateful. They also provided tons of updates. We appreciate that a lot! Thank you so much!!”

“Grace is such an attentive and caring daycare provider for my dog. She's very communicative and made sure Arya was well cared for. Thank you so much for all you do!”
“Tiffany is amazing! This was my first time using Rover and she far exceeded my expectations. She was able to accommodate my late night day care request for the next day when I found out I had jury duty. She miraculously got our foster puppy okay with her cats, and now the puppy is being so good around mine. Also when it was time to go, the puppy had so much fun she wanted to go with Tiffany instead of come home with us!”
“Sophie took such great care of our Oni girl. She sent photos, video and updates throughout the day. We loved seeing how much fun she was having with Sophie. Thank you for taking such great care of her! We will definitely book Sophie again.”

“Soojin was fantastic with my Suki girl for daycare! She sent lots of adorable photos and updates throughout the day, answered all of my questions, and made drop-off and pick-up incredibly easy. I felt completely at ease knowing Suki was in such great hands. My pup came home happy, tired, and content, which is always the best sign. I’m so grateful to have found Soojin and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter. Thank you, Soojin!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs daily through raising and training my own two dogs, Oreo and Caramel. I’ve personally handled crate training, potty training, feeding schedules, leash walking, socialization, and creating consistent routines in a calm home environment. Caring for my dogs has helped me become very attentive to dog behavior, comfort, safety, and individual needs. I understand the importance of patience, supervision, communication, and making pets feel safe and at home while their owners are away. I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care and treating every dog like part of the family. Pet care is becoming my full-time focus, so I’m available Monday through Friday and able to provide dogs with consistent supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. My schedule allows me to build my daily routine around the dogs in my care, including walks, feeding schedules, enrichment activities, rest time, and individualized attention based on each dog’s needs. I’m home for most of the day and strive to create a calm, safe, and structured environment where dogs feel comfortable and cared for like family. I have a fenced backyard for supervised outdoor play and potty breaks, as well as crates available for downtime, rest, or maintaining your dog’s normal routine if needed. I also have a dog play area to help dogs stay active, engaged, and entertained throughout the day with supervised play and enrichment activities.
“Save me from a last minute booking. I loved leaving my sweet girl with Sofiya, Nina came out super happy. Definitely will come back and recommend. Thanks so much for loving my pup Sofiya!”
“This was our first time using rover. One of our dogs is very anxious and doesn’t get along with other dogs so we only trusted them being watched by my MIL. However, we decided to just give it a try. Nataliya was amazing. Great communication and most importantly caring and loving with our fur babies. So excited we found her and would definitely recommend.”
About: I am an animal lover and advocate with decades of experience providing cat and dog caregiver services to our community. My experience ranges from bottle babies to senior babies. I foster with rescues, so I am comfortable with a variety of personality types and special needs. I offer cat and dog boarding in my home, as well as in home visits. I also offer advanced care – baths, nail trimming, administering meds, including subcutaneous fluids and injections (B12, insulin, etc.). Having kitties and pups of my own my whole life, I know how difficult it can be to trust someone with your fur babies when you are away. I would be honored to help you. I work from home, so I have the ability to give your fur babies the extra care and attention they deserve while you are away. I am available seven days a week, including holiday dates. For overnight stays, I have a fur baby room to host kitties, or pups, if they would do better with their own space at night. I have a fenced yard and two friendly pups to keep your pup company.

“Amazing experience with Sam!! Spiky had a blast with her, I was so happy to see Spike come back after great exercise and play time, just what he needed, I could tell how happy he was, would highly recommend!!”
About: I grew up with English Setters and an American Bulldog, so big dogs with big personalities have always felt like home. I even helped with training our Bulldog, which taught me that consistency, patience, and understanding body language go a long way. Every dog is different, and that’s one of my favorite things about them. Some want to sprint around the neighborhood, some would rather stop and sniff every single blade of grass (and I’ll happily wait while they conduct their very important investigations). I enjoy figuring out what makes each dog feel comfortable, happy, and engaged. Whether your dog is high-energy, a gentle giant, or somewhere in between, I’ll meet them where they are. My goal is simple: make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection while you have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. As a mechanical engineering student, my schedule varies a bit throughout the year. I keep my calendar updated to reflect exam weeks and semester schedule changes, including the transition at the end of August. I believe pets deserve unhurried, attentive care, so I only accept bookings I know I can fully commit to. That means when I’m with your pet, they have my full attention, not just a spot squeezed into a busy schedule. I understand that trusting someone with both your pet and your home is a big decision. I’ll always treat your home with the same care and respect I’d expect someone to show mine. I’ll carefully follow your pet’s routine, respect any household rules, double-check doors and gates, and make sure your pet has fresh water, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is safe and happy.
About: I am blessed to have been able to grow up with dogs. They are my world. From puppy care to senior care, I can promise you the best for your loved ones.

I am so excited to get to know you and your fur babies!! With years of experience in dog walking, feeding, and training, I understand that pets need proper love and care to thrive. I prioritize creating a safe environment that keeps your babies stress-free. I am very communicative and will adhere to their usual routines while taking lots of pictures so you are confident in my care for them!
About: I have grown up around animals my whole life, including caring for cats and dogs. I’ve helped care for family dogs and raised my own cat, Salem, since he was a kitten. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, playtime, cleaning, giving attention, and creating a safe and comfortable environment for pets. I treat every animal with the same patience, love, and care I give my own. I am currently home for the summer with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I can provide regular check-ins, playtime, feeding routines, and companionship while making sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for. I prioritize safety, patience, and creating a comfortable environment for every pet I care for. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, respect their home and routines, and provide updates so owners feel confident their pets are happy, safe, and receiving loving care.
“Katie was great to work with! She was punctual, had great communication and sent us pictures of our dogs after their walks. They look so happy with her! I would definitely recommend Katie for your rover needs! Thanks Katie!”
About: I have one dog that is my own and one other that I consistantly help out with. I have dog sat for coworkers, family and friends. I really like walking and playing with dogs which makes this job a lot of fun for me. I care deeply about the safety of dogs, cats and other pets and will always do my best to make sure they are happy and comfortable. I am in school so right now on Tuesdays and Thursdays so I can look after pets Monday Wednesday and Friday. My weekends are open through August for sure. My dog is on a loose schedule but gets walked once a day at a minimum and gets to run around in the backyard as well. He plays with the other dog in the household and is trained very well. I love dog training and work with him several days a week. He is crate trained, but also is consistently left out of the crate and does fine.
About: I have a great love for dogs, no matter what shape or size. I have grown up living in a household with small to medium dogs and other furry animals. I understand how much pets can affect you in a good way. I have had the privilege of taking care of older dogs, dogs with medication and even a puppy. Recently, in past two years, i have had the opportunity to also care of a cat plus a big beautiful german Shepard. My goal is to ensure and comfort your dog while you are away. I will keep the dog(s) on their regular, training routine to the specific detail you tell me. I do community service part time which is regular in my life. I am willing to have a fixed or flexible schedule for short-term jobs. Not available Sunday mornings or Tuesday nights for meet and greet. My goal is to keep your pet safe and comfortable while at the same time keep your home just as you had left it before your vacation. I had a maltipoo. She was loud when you first meet her but really shy. Also friendly enough to hold on to. She is potty trained and knows some commands. With other dogs she gets a long with them, and she just needs to warm up to them because of shyness. I kept her on dog food not human food and she weighs less than 10 lbs. She would run around and play with the younger dogs but also mellow down with the older dogs.

About: I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life since a baby. I love animals more than anything and will care for yours as if they were my own. I’m a stay/work from home mom so my schedule is very flexible. I can care for your pet while you’re at work or not at home. I have a small back porch downstairs of my townhouse but I can walk them as needed for potty breaks. I live In the downtown area of San Jose where there are plenty of dog friendly parks to take them. I will never neglect your family member he/she will be cared for as my own. They will be walked and fed and loved on a lot and you can call me anytime and request as many pics as you’d like. I know it’s nerve wracking to leave a family member with someone new so I want you and your dogs and/or cats to feel completely comfortable with me. Thank you. Im a stay at home mom who works from home so my schedule is completely flexible to care for your family member. I can also take last minute bookings. I take care of your pet like they were my own. I let them sleep where they want and take them for walks daily multiple times a day. I live in a fairly large townhouse with a small back porch so there is enough room for a dog or cat to stretch out and relax
About: While most of my pet care comes from three years as a cat owner, I naturally connect with dogs. From friendly neighborhood greetings to playtime energy, I bring patience, warmth, and dependable care for every furry friend. I volunteer part-time a few days a week, but I always make time for pets! I’m flexible, reliable, and ready to give your furry friends the love and care they need. When caring for pets, safety and comfort come first. I follow owners’ instructions carefully, provide plenty of attention, walks, and playtime, and keep a calm, loving environment. I treat every pet like family.
“Devin was amazing with our girls. One of them is afraid of everything. She will go up to a stranger and back away when they try to pet her. She immediately took to Devin. She even got on her back for a tummy rub. Devin was extremely punctual. We will definitely use her for all future needs. Thanks, Devin!”
About: I've always had a special love for animals, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet's personality. Every animal is different, and I love learning what helps them feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I understand that leaving your pet at home can be stressful, especially when they take such good care of us. Whether I'm stopping by for a walk, playtime, meals, or simply some company, I'll care for your pet with the same attentiveness and thoughtfulness I'd hope someone would show mine. My schedule lends me some flexibility during the week, so daytime visits are usually easy for me to accommodate. I also try not to cram my day full of bookings because I'd rather have the time to give each pet the attention they deserve. I know it takes trust to hand someone your keys and ask them to care for your pet. I'll follow your routine as closely as possible, keep you updated with photos and messages, and let you know if anything seems out of the ordinary. I want you to be able to enjoy your time away without wondering how things are going at home.
About: Hands-on experience working alongside a professional dog trainer. Through that experience, I learned how to better understand dog behavior, reinforce training routines, and confidently care for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, a puppy, or a senior, I'll provide patient, personalized care while following your pet's normal routine. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you're away. I believe communication is key, so you'll receive regular photo updates and messages for peace of mind. My goal is simple: to provide a safe, fun, and stress-free experience for both you and your dog. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for a few years now, as my extended family tends to go on a lot of vacations. I primarily have experience with smaller/medium dogs, but would love to work with any kinda dog or cat. My availability is pretty open! On Tuesdays/Wednesdays, I’m unavailable until 3 PM. But other than that, I’m usually always free whenever you need some help! Depending on your cat, I’ll either be playing with them or just watching over them as they do their own thing. I will clean any cat messes that are made in your home.

“Iggy had a wonderful time at Michael’s. Before booking and throughout the process, Michael was very effective and prompt in our communication. After meeting Michael at the meeet and greet, we decided to proceed. Michael and Kris took great care of Iggy during his 4 night stay. Michael sent us updates and when my partner picked up Iggy, he could tell that Iggy had been well taken care of and come to love it there as well. Thank you for taking care of our baby!”
“Sofiya was awesome! I appreciate the daily updates of pictures and videos to put my mind at ease knowing my furbaby was safe while I was out of town. I will definitely look to re-book with Sofiya in the future!”
“Nabil took wonderful care of Raisin for two days. It was Raisin’s first time staying away from home, so we were a little nervous, but Nabil and Sunny made her feel comfortable and safe. She quickly warmed up to them, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she was well cared for and treated with kindness. We truly appreciated the updates and the loving care Raisin received. I would highly recommend Nabil to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter!”
“Christopher and his wife took such great care of our dog Zoey while we were away. We got text updates on how she was doing and photos and videos too! It helped us feel at ease knowing she was well taken care of. The meet and greet before hand helped to confirm our decision to book with them and we are so glad we did!”
“Melissa and Hyun were great with Zorro! They made sure to provide updates every day and were very prompt with responding to anything. They were amazing at taking care of Zorro and made sure he had all the love and care he needed. I would definitely have Zorro stay with them again!”
“My family and I were able to fully enjoy our vacation knowing that Jake and Megan were watching our dog Kobe! They were very kind upon initially meeting them and it was super reassuring to know they are experienced with reactive dogs, especially since we’ve never been away from him for longer than a week. Jake is quick with responding and was very flexible with the drop-off and pick-up schedule. I highly recommend boarding your fur babies with them for peace of mind on your trip!”
“We had an amazing experience boarding our cat with Zhuoyang! They shared frequent updates and pictures. Our cat came back home very happy. Will definitely book with them again. Highly recommend!”
“Qi was great! My dog Ellie had an awesome stay with her! She boarded there for about two weeks, and Qi kept us updated the whole time with pictures and messages, which we really appreciated. She was also super responsive anytime we had questions. When I dropped Ellie off, Qi gave me a quick rundown of what her days would look like, which helped a lot. I also liked that she took a thoughtful approach to introducing Ellie to the other dogs and let me see how they interacted before I left. Overall, really smooth experience and I’d definitely book with Qi again!”
About: I care for a small group at a time so each dog gets plenty of supervision, play, and rest. I’m very patient with shy, anxious, and senior dogs, and I’m experienced with puppies—including potty routines, basic manners, and crate training support. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, energy level, and comfort, and I adjust care as needed. Safety and communication are a top priority for me, and I always keep owners updated so they can feel confident and at ease while they’re away. My schedule is built around feeding times, potty breaks, play sessions, walks, and rest periods to make sure each pet gets consistent care and attention throughout the day. I work from home, which allows me to closely supervise pets, keep them on their normal routines, and adjust care based on their energy level or needs. This consistency helps pets feel comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for while their owners are away. I follow each pet’s routine to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. In my home, pets enjoy supervised playtime, regular potty breaks, walks, and safe play in my fenced backyard, along with plenty of rest. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely and provide updates so owners can feel confident their pet is well cared for.
“Earnest had a great time staying with Ezra. She kept me updated and he seemed happy, getting lots of attention and playing tons! He was exhausted when he came home, which was great for me!”
“Michael and family were wonderful. We received daily updates with the highlights of the day including a heartwarming array of photos and videos. It was great to get day-by-day updates as our dog became comfortable in thier home and enjoyed the array of engaging activities.”
“Best Rover couple ever! They took care of Baxter for almost 3 weeks and sent pics and comments multiple times a day. So we had total peace of mind. Needless to say, he wasn’t sure he wanted to leave. Lots of walks, snuggles, and patience. Thank you Carol and Terry.”
“We left our dog, Brody, with Anlin for 13 nights, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. As this was our first time working with Anlin, I was a bit nervous about such an extended stay, but he put me completely at ease the moment we met. Brody can be a generally nervous dog, but Anlin handled him perfectly. Throughout the trip, I received frequent updates, including photos and videos, which made it clear that Brody was happy and being truly cared for. Anlin was also incredibly gracious and proactive in working with us to ensure Brody had fresh food throughout his stay. We are so grateful for his care and absolutely look forward to working with him again!”
“Booked last minute and Alma was quick to respond and accommodated our fur baby, Tomi. She sent pictures and updates. She promptly responds to messages. We were running late at pickup and she was nice about it. Overall, great service. Will definitely book her again.”
“Ghazal is super responsive, gives a lot of attention to my dog, and provides the right care to her. She sent a lot of photos and I can definitely see that my dog is spending a great time with her! I will highly recommend her and rebook again :)”
“My dogs loved Antonio! They were very happy when we picked them up. Antonio was really good at responding to messages and he sent great pictures throughout the day. He made sure they were fed and got plenty of exercise. We’ll definitely be back!”
“We would absolutely, 💯% leave our dogs with Meredith again. She is so great with the dogs, loving, caring and very attentive to their needs. One of our dogs was not well and Meredith made sure that Blue was comfortable the whole time she was with her. She took them for walks and most importantly always kept us updated with pictures and write ups about their daily activities. Thank you Meredith, you helped us have a relaxed and worry free vacation.”
“This is our first time with Mary. We are very happy with the result. We had a hunch that our dog would have a good time stay. The pictures and captions during the trip showed that they enjoy each other very much. After the trip, it showed our dog is well taken care of and is just as happy as before the trip. When we mention Mary, our dog shows excited and wanting to play with Mary again. We made excellent choice this time. Definitely rebook.”
