“Rachel is a fantastic caregiver who is always friendly, super flexible, and incredibly trustworthy. Lola always comes back happy and tuckered out! Thanks, Rachel!”
“We absolutely love Brittany!! We know our fur baby is in great hands with her. We will definitely use her again! Thanks Brittany for taking care of our baby!”
“Thanks Valerie for watching Wallie again! Wallie usually takes a couple days to settle in a new environment, and Valerie stayed closer to Wallie in the living room overnight to help him settle in!”
“Ghazal was amazing with Rio! Honestly, I think Rio may have enjoyed his time with her more than he enjoys having us around! She took such great care of him, kept us updated, and made leaving him so much easier. He came back happy, relaxed, and clearly very well spoiled. Would 100% have Ghazal watch him again!”
“This was the very first time I’ve ever left my 10 year old dog, Coco with anyone and I was honestly so nervous. But Son was absolutely amazing and made the entire experience so comforting for both of us. From the beginning, communication was great and we felt completely comfortable leaving Coco in his care. It was obvious she received lots of attention, love, and care during her stay. The updates and care he provided gave me so much peace of mind. Coco came home happy, relaxed, and clearly loved. I would absolutely trust him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone who will truly care for their pet like family.”
“Our dog spent another long weekend with Boris and Olga and I feel like he had the best weekend! They took him on a hike and it feels like they really treated him like their own. Great communication. Lots of photos. Flexible with drop off and pick up. Would absolutely use again!”
“Absolutely wonderful experience! Our dog was very well cared for and came home happy, comfortable, and relaxed. The communication was great, and we felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. We would definitely book again and highly recommend! ❤️”
“Thanks to Christopher & his wife for taking care of Yogi this past weekend. Great people! We did meet and greet few days before boarding to get acquainted and it turned out smooth. Their rescued dogs are well behaved when we did the introduction. I can tell that Christopher and his wife really cares for the dogs and professionals. I’d definely board my dog with them when I go out of town/country. Thank you guys!”
“10/10 recommend! Super communicative and nice, I received lots of pics and videos of Kiwi. Fast response time, Kiwi played with many toys, had plenty of walks and was well taken care of. Great experience thank you again!”
“I can't recommend Thuong enough! She was incredibly communicative throughout our time away, sending lots of pictures and updates that gave us real peace of mind. She took our dog on regular walks and clearly cared about her wellbeing. From the start she was open to a meet-and-greet and never once pressured us to book, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and trustworthy. We'll definitely be rebooking!”
“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 is our first ever dog care experience and Quang was quickly responsive to my needs for last minutes plans. I have a super high energy GSP and and an elderly Porky. He cared for both needs and they returned home tired and happy. I also had to extend the time for care and he helped make that process very smooth. Thank you Quang! I’ll reach out for the next trip.”
“Max, his wife, and Toby are great. He was flexible with our pickup and drop off times, and was willing to do a meet and greet for our dogs prior to the booking. Max made sure to ask us about our dog's needs and schedules so that he could ensure a comfortable stay. He was communicative throughout the stay, sent updates and photos. He seems very dog savvy and I felt comfortable with him as our sitter from the get go. We would definitely book with Max again - highly recommend!”
“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!”
“We had such a fantastic experience with Juanyi and truly couldn’t have asked for better care for our dog! From the very beginning, communication was enthusiastic, warm, and reassuring. We had a first meet & play before the dog boarding. Juanyi’ house is very beautiful, clean and suitable for dogs. During boarding, we received photo updates every single hour, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Each picture showed our dog happy, relaxed, and clearly enjoying their time—whether playing with Panda and Kaka (Juanyi’s two LOVELY dogs), resting, or out on a walk. What truly stood out was her flexibility and responsiveness. At one point, we needed to adjust our pick-up time to one day earlier than originally planned. We reached out, expecting it might be difficult to change on short notice—but she responded very quickly and immediately adjusted her schedule to accommodate us. Her willingness to be so understanding and flexible completely really touched me!! Drop-off and pick-up overall were smooth and easy. Juanyi made the entire process seamless and convenient for us, which we deeply appreciated. It genuinely felt like she cared for our dog as if they were her own. Bagel and Panda become best friends!! We came home to a happy, relaxed pup, which says everything. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to any dog parents looking for a reliable, communicative, flexible, and truly caring sitter!”
“Dubs really enjoyed his stay with Rosita! I can tell he was super comfortable from all the pictures and updates she consistently shared with us. Dubs is a senior and special needs pup and Rosita made sure all the information we provided and advised was well taken. She accepted our request on short notice for 4th of July with our biggest concerns for fireworks. Rosita made sure Dubs was comfy and safe when he was anxious. We highly recommend Rosita!”
“Somi had a great time! She is already missing her new playmates. Wei had great communication, responsive, and made the whole process stress-free. Definitely booking with them again in the future.”
About: I’ve loved animals since I was a child, I’ve had ducks , cats , turtles, hamsters and of course dogs. My current family is 3 dogs (Lu, Teo and Chiko) they use to be 4 but Emilia just dead recently and Pepe my husband, we are a really happy family. I live in a house with a back yard, very safe, usually I do two walks with my dogs, I can do the same for yours, I have a lot of free time to care about them. I have much free time every day, and on weekends I’m at home the whole day, let me care about your pet and you will see how much fun and happy they will be.
About: I provide active, attentive, and structured care for both dogs and cats, with a focus on exercise, comfort, and individualized attention. For dogs, I’m especially a great fit for higher-energy pets that need more activity and engagement. I provide: • 3 daily walks (typically 20 mins to 1 hour each depending on energy level and needs) • A large fenced yard for safe outdoor play and exercise • Plenty of interaction, playtime, and supervision throughout the day I also have extensive experience caring for cats and have raised 5+ cats over the years. For cats that prefer quieter environments or separation from dogs, I have a dedicated empty bedroom available to help them feel safe and relaxed. Additional care I can provide includes: • Brushing and de-shedding • Nail trimming • Basic dental cleaning (if tolerated) • Frequent updates with photos/videos I focus on quality care and take a limited number of pets so I can give each one more attention and a calmer experience. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate morning, or evening visits. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends, and I can adjust to your pet’s routine to ensure consistency and comfort. I prioritize reliability and will make sure your pet is cared for on time every visit. I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment and always follow your care instructions closely. I understand that pets can be sensitive to changes, so I focus on minimizing stress and maintaining their normal routine. I’m experienced with handling pets gently, including grooming (brushing, nail trimming, and basic hygiene if your pets allows). I pay close attention to their behavior, appetite, and overall well-being, and I will keep you updated with photos and notes after each visit/activity. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and trust are always my top priorities.
About: What sets me apart is the time, patience, and level of care I provide for each dog. I offer full-time supervision in a calm, home-style environment with a large backyard, full camera coverage, and private sleeping areas tailored to each dog’s needs. I have experience with basic dog training and puppy routines, including reinforcing house manners, leash walking, and consistent daily structure. I’m also comfortable providing senior care, such as assisting dogs with limited mobility, maintaining gentle routines, and closely monitoring their comfort and behavior.

Our routine begins at 9:00 AM with breakfast and fresh water, followed immediately by free time in the backyard for playing and sunbathing. My dog rests in their room from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM, which allows me to focus on my work, before we transition to the evening routine with a 6:00 PM dinner and more backyard activity. I stop water intake at 8:00 PM to manage overnight needs, and after a second rest period, we end our day with a dedicated one-hour night walk at 11:00 PM, which helps us both unwind before cleaning up and going to sleep. My home is equipped with a secure fenced yard for outdoor activities and full-house surveillance cameras to ensure pets are monitored at all times. I follow a consistent routine that balances exercise with rest: the day starts with breakfast and water at 9:00 AM, followed by supervised backyard play. We have designated quiet hours in a comfortable room from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM and again from 9:00 PM to 11:00 PM, which prevents overstimulation. I manage hydration by stopping water intake at 8:00 PM and end the day with a dedicated one-hour night walk at 11:00 PM, ensuring your pet is clean, happy, and ready for a good night's sleep.

“I was so happy that Michele was available over Labor Day weekend. My cat was very happy the last time Michele cared for her, and this time was no different. She sent daily pictures and detailed updates about my cat that really put me at ease while I was traveling knowing that she was doing well. A package containing very important medication arrived one day just a few minutes after Michele had left my house. I had forgotten that it was coming, and was having a panic about it being out on my doorstep for 24 hours. Without hesitation, Michele offered to make another trip to my house to secure the package. She even sent me a picture of it safely inside. I have nothing but praise for Michele and will happily hire her again.”
“Christina was amazing! She was incredibly thorough and reliable and made sure that our cats get everything they need. She always provided plenty of pictures and videos during every visit. She even went above and beyond and picked up and vacuumed the mess that our cats made. I would absolutely recommend Christina to everyone, and would book her again in a heartbeat!”
“We are repeat customers with Kaylee. We feel very comfortable leaving our pets & our home in her hands. She is prompt with her communications & in her visits, sends lots of pictures, takes care of everything we ask, and makes sure the cats get lots of pets. We have a cat that takes anti-seizure meds that need to be dosed approx 12 hours apart and she is very mindful of that when making her visits.”
About: I’ve had a love for cats ever since I was little and have my own cat as well. I am experienced in taking care of cats of all ages and would love to get to know yours! I am aware that all cats can have their own unique personalities, preferences, and needs so I would love to help accommodate your kitties to create a comfortable and caring environment for them!
“This was my third time booking with Yifei, and she has been fantastic every time. She is very responsible, responsive, and truly cares about Bonbon. I received lots of photos and updates during each visit, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. Bonbon clearly likes her and was perfectly happy when I returned home. I highly recommend Yifei and will definitely book with her again.”
“Joleen did a great job taking care of our cat that has a bit of a special health need (requires an inhaler for asthma). She followed all of the instructions and went above and beyond with care and updates. We've had some trouble returning back on time, and she kindly agreed to take care of our Blackberry for an extra day on very short notice. We returned to a clean house and a happy cat!”
“Highly recommend Elise to take care of your fur babies while you are away. I’ve always been nervous to be away from home because I have 1 really timid cat and another really picky/sensitive stomach cat that has made it difficult to just leave them to any random sitter. This is the second time Elise cared for my cats. Even with new feeding/litter changes and such peculiar care instructions, Elise continues to take great care of my kitties! And I returned to a clean home and kitties that were perfectly cared for! Thank you Elise for another great visit!!”
“Qi took great care of our cat while we were away. She is great at communicating and very trustworthy. I am so happy she took care of my cat while we were away and would definitively recommend her!”
“Chris was amazing with my cats, always ensuring their safety and care by sending videos and pictures. They really enjoyed him coming over. Freddie usually tends to shy away from strangers but she immediately warmed up to Chris! He was very attentive and paid close attention to the care instructions. I absolutely was not worried while I was away on holiday vacation. I knew they were in good hands.”
“Stacey and family is awesome. We boarded our kitten with them for 3 days. They provided him with lots of care and attention. They kept us updated with regular pictures and messages as well. Our kitten was very happy in their home. Stacey is definitely our first choice going forward.”
About: I have loved cats for as long as I can remember and have experience caring for cats at different stages of life. I cared for an older cat when I was younger and raised my own kitten, Salem, from when he was a baby through his first year. I understand that every cat has their own personality, whether they are playful, curious, shy, or independent. I enjoy providing attention, playtime, enrichment, feeding routines, and a clean, comfortable space where cats feel safe and loved. I also love visiting cat cafes and spending time around cats because I genuinely enjoy learning about their unique personalities.
“Zhengjun took excellent care of our cats! Our feline babies were well fed and played with, and we got a lot of pictures and videos from Zhengjun. We would love to have Zhengjun take care of our cats again!”
“Marissa did a wonderful job taking care of Penelope. She frequently updated me with pictures and was extremely accommodating when I was running late to pick her up. I would 100% book again!”
About: I grew up surrounded by cats and have over 20 years of experience caring for them. While I would love to have a cat of my own, I discovered my husband is allergic! To keep him (and my two friendly dogs) happy, I save all my "cat love" for my clients. I truly miss the companionship of cats, which is why I treat every drop-in visit like I’m visiting my own pet. Whether your cat is a social butterfly who wants to play or a shy soul who just needs a quiet presence while they eat, I am patient and attentive to their unique personality. During my visit, I provide: • Fresh Food & Water: Following your exact schedule and portions. • Litter Box Maintenance: Keeping their space clean and tidy. • Play & Cuddles: Using their favorite toys or just offering some chin scratches. • Home Security: I’m happy to bring in mail or water plants while I’m there! I can't wait to meet your kitty and give them the attention they deserve while you're away!
About: I have a year of hands-on experience caring for someone else’s cat, including feeding, refreshing water, cleaning the litter box, playtime, and spending time together. I understand that every cat has their own personality and boundaries, so I’m patient and happy to give them attention or space depending on what makes them most comfortable. I’ll carefully follow your cat’s usual routine and send you plenty of photos and updates while you’re away!
About: My spouse and I are proud parents to three Golden Retrievers—Mango (13), Goldie (8), and Lychee (7). We love taking them out on adventures and watching them explore! With over 10 years of experience living with multiple dogs, we know just how to keep pups happy and comfortable. Our home also has a fenced backyard where dogs can run, play, and enjoy the outdoors anytime. I am an Assistant Professor in Kinesiology and work half time at home, and my spouse work in IT who works from home from time to time. We enjoy outdoor times, especially walking the puppies! Our time is very flexible and mainly at home to work and walk the dogs! We have a crated area for the three furry goldens, with plenty of toys and they will enjoy time playing together. Your dog will be taken out regularly for a walk, there is a trail right outside our house.
About: I have always had a strong passion for animal care and have gained hands-on experience through caring for cats and other animals in a home environment. Growing up with cats has taught me the importance of responsibility, patience, and providing consistent care to ensure their health and well-being. I treat every animal, including stray animals, with the same compassion and attention I would provide to my own pets. My experience includes maintaining fresh water supplies, monitoring food levels, providing enrichment through playtime, and creating a clean, safe, and comfortable environment that supports both their physical and emotional needs.
About: Hi! I’m Ming, a professional pet groomer with about five years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I understand how important it is to create a calm, relaxing, and safe environment, especially for pets who may feel stressed or anxious when their humans are away. I’m confident handling energetic pups, seniors, and those who need extra patience and reassurance. I’ll make sure your pets feel as comfortable as they would at home. I’m also a dog mom to a four-year-old, high-energy Husky mix, so I truly understand daily routines, exercise needs, and the importance of both physical and mental stimulation for happy pups. I currently work part-time at a grooming salon, and on my days off I study for an online degree at home. This allows me to dedicate at least 5 hours a day to caring for my own dog and my Rover clients. Your pup will receive plenty of attention, love, and companionship. I can provide frequent potty breaks and several short walks if needed. Walks and play sessions are often the highlight of their day and I make sure each pup gets the activity levels based that suits their age, energy, and health. I keep potentially dangerous items (mainly human food and small objects) out of reach. I can also provide mini fun grooming sessions if needed. Dogs are usually walked twice a day, once in the early morning and once before sunset. Feeding is typically twice daily after walks, but I’m happy to adjust to your pup’s routine. I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time and frequent potty breaks, and I live next to a school field where dogs can enjoy peaceful walks without car traveling. I also occasionally take dogs to a nearby dog park for social exposure. During hot weather, pups can relax in an AC room with a comfy couch. Every dog is unique, and I’m always happy to customize care to meet your pup’s specific needs and routine. My partner, Vico, is currently in his veterinary clinical rotation and will be rejoining our family soon, adding even more animal-care experience and support. I walk the pups twice a day, one in early morning and another before the sun sets. Our feeding schedule is twice a day usually after the walk, but I'm flexible with any adjustments. I’m mostly home and my family can help take care of the pups when I work. I have a fenced yard that's big enough for the energetic pups to run around and provide frequent potty breaks if needed. I live right next to a school field where I can walk them without driving them around. We have a separate room with a nice couch and AC when the weather tends to get a little too hot during noon. I also bring the pups to a nearby dog park sometimes so they can have social exposures. Dogs that stays over a week gets a free bath upon request.

“Michelle’s family took good care of Mochi for his day visit . Received multiple photos and updated throughout the day. This was very helpful because this was Mochi’s first dog sitting experience. Mochi had a great time and I would definitely rebook the service.”
“I immediately felt comfortable dropping Theo off with Melissa and Hyun Dong. They are both very kind and considerate people, took great care of my sick dog, and provided me with updates regarding how he was doing. I will definitely be using them again!”
About: I’ve had a pet of my own for more than 10 years and have helped friends and family care for their pets while they were away. I love all type of dogs from breeds to size. I have a full time corporate job that demand three days in office. I am available to assist from Thursday to Sunday. There should be plenty of play time and ability to keep your pet company. I have a pet on my own with extra crate for your pup if needed. I am experienced with walking and controlling high energy dog. My house won’t have a yard so dog will be safe within the house.
“Ezra was very communicative and attentive, and our dog Onyx had a great time! He got to play with a few other dogs his size, and Ezra made sure to introduce him to each dog 1:1 to make sure they got along first. So happy to have found a great daycare for Onyx!”
“Anna has been wonderful! She watches a few other dogs and has a foster and her own which has been amazing to help socialize my one and a half-year-old Sheba. They have outdoor time in the backyard. They have a dedicated room for the dogs in the kennels. She is very flexible in terms of pick up and drop off. There’s been a couple times where I got stuck at work and she didn’t mind holding him for a few more hours. My pup gotten so comfortable at Anna‘s he knows that in the morning time when we’re getting in the car, it’s time to go to daycare”
“Tiffany took such great care of Bingo! He was so comfortable and happy with her that he didn’t even want to leave when I came to pick him up. I was honestly surprised because he is usually very shy with new people. It made me feel so good knowing he felt safe and at home with her. I would definitely book with Tiffany again!”
“Ashita was absolutely great! I was running late picking up kimchi and she was incredibly thoughtful, flexible, and accommodating w my schedule. Kimchi seemed very happy and comfortable during the stay. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter. Thanks!”
“Juanyi and her husband are very caring dog sitters. My dog was very comfortable at their place as if home away from home. Juanyi is very good on keeping you informed with pictures and videos on how your dog stay is going. I am happy and looking forward to keep my dog for a longer stay soon.”
“Xiuhui aka Sophie is very responsive and responsible taking care of my shy, timid baby girl. Sophie takes my girl out for walks at least two times even it’s just 6-8 hours day care. Gives timely updates and pictures of my girl. Most important thing for me is that she’s punctual and flexible. I had bad experience when the sitter didn’t come out to pick up my dog on time and didn’t reply to messages or phone call for like 20 minutes because they “forget and mute my phone” then the traffic became horrible for me. Sophie replies messages in a timely fashion. Sometimes we need to drop my dog off early than scheduled, sometimes we need to pick her up late, and Sophie is all fine with that without any issues. I highly recommend her and will continue letting her take care of my baby girl.”
“100% amazing experience all around! Jiapeng and Katelyn took wonderful care of our Yuffie girl. We got plenty of updates and pictures from the day, she had a walk and plenty of potty breaks, and had an abundant amount of play time with them and Pika! We are very satisfied with their attention and care of Yuffie and will definitely book with them again!”
“I was so impressed and pleased with Julie's stay with Rosita and Luna. Rosita's communication was impeccable. She let me know how things were going throughout the stay. And I even got a video of her reading a story to Julie! So cute. I know she was in great hands with Rosita.”
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.

About: After a few years away working as an engineer, I’ve realized my true passion isn’t in front of a computer, it’s with dogs! I was a top-rated, 5-star sitter in Fremont back in 2016-2017 with 38 repeat clients, and I am so excited to officially reopen my doors to the furry community. With over 20 years of experience living with and caring for dogs, I provide a "home away from home" where your pup is treated like family. 🐾 Important Note: To ensure a safe, comfortable, and manageable environment for our resident dogs and guests, I strictly only accept dogs under 40 lbs. Meet the Resident Pack I am a proud "dog mom" to two friendly pups who love making new friends: Kaka: My sweet 11-year-old rescue French bulldog and poodle mix (13 lbs). He has a crippled leg, so I am very experienced in caring for seniors or dogs with special physical needs. Panda: My energetic 5-year-old Bernedoodle. He’s a "pandemic puppy" who is well-socialized and ready to play! The "Five-Star" Backyard & Home Your dog will have the ultimate vacation in our 4,000 square foot home. We have plenty of indoor space for lounging and a large, fully fenced backyard for fresh air and supervised playtime. Personalized Care & Activity Consistent Supervision: My husband and I both work hybrid schedules and take turns working from home. This means one of us is home the vast majority of the time to provide cuddles, bathroom breaks, and attentive care. Active Lifestyle: We love staying active! Your pup will enjoy frequent walks and plenty of engagement. Safety First: Because of my engineering background, I am detail-oriented and highly organized when it comes to feeding schedules and safety protocols. I can’t wait to meet your pup and give them a fun, safe, and loving stay! Our routine is highly flexible! Whether your pup is a high-energy "pandemic dog" like my Panda or a senior who needs a gentler pace like my 13lb rescue, Kaka, I easily adjust walk lengths and play styles to match their specific energy and physical abilities. A Day in the Life at Our Home Because we work a hybrid schedule, pet care is seamlessly integrated into our day. Your dog will never be just a "task"—they are part of the family. • 8:30 AM | Morning Adventure: We kick off the day with a morning walk, followed by a nutritious brunch. • Mid-Day | Garden Play: Around noon, I provide supervised "yard breaks" in our large, fenced backyard for fresh air and sniffing. • Late Afternoon | Neighborhood Stroll: We head out for a second neighborhood walk, followed by dinner service. • Evening | Last Call: Before bedtime, we have one final backyard break to ensure everyone is settled and comfortable. Total Freedom: Your dog has the run of the house! They are welcome in any of the 4,000 sq. ft. of indoor space. Whether they want to sunbathe by a window or snooze near my desk while I work, they will have plenty of room to feel at home. Safety-First, Premium Care Your pet’s safety and comfort are my absolute priorities. I provide a secure, high-standard environment designed for total peace of mind. • Supervised Freedom: Your dog has full access to our 4,000 sq. ft. home and a large, securely fenced backyard. I personally supervise all outdoor time to ensure every guest is safe and happy. • Proactive Security: For added protection, I have security cameras monitoring the property and dog gates that can be installed as needed to create separate, safe zones for different energy levels. • Constant Companionship: Because we work a hybrid schedule, there is almost always an adult present. This allows for frequent check-ins, bathroom breaks, and 24/7 attention. • Disciplined Care: I am highly attentive to feeding schedules, medication, and specific care instructions. Whether it's managing a senior dog’s mobility (like my rescue, Kaka) or a high-energy pup’s needs, I follow your instructions to the letter.
About: We love dogs, we have one our selves, she is a small Chihuahua-Terrier mix. She can be a little mean at first but only after a couple minutes she can really warm up to you. In fact, if she ever sees you or your dog she'll happily greet you with licks and tail wags. As for us we are a family of three, with me, my husband and 12 year old son! Our son really knows a lot about dogs, he loves them! We often like to go on walks everyday! Well at least if it's not raining. We like to go to the park on the weekends, so let your dog stay with us while you go out or go on a vacation or a work trip! Since 2020, when the pandemic started, my husband has been telecommuting from his work so he stays with and takes care of the dogs while I am away at work or our son is at school. You can be sure there is always someone at our home watching over your dog. Our dogs get to spend time in the family room, kitchen and nook, which has access to the sliding door that takes them to the backyard
About: I absolutely love animals and have been caring for, and looking after dogs, cats, (and any animals in-between) since i was very young!! I’m super comfortable handling & caring for dogs and have cared for dogs as small as 10 pounds and dogs as big as 130!! I had childhood pup who was a pitbull and we raised him from a puppy so i have lots of experience with high-energy dogs and larger and stronger breeds. I also understand the importance of structure, patience, and positive reinforcement. My experience with him taught me how to build trust, maintain consistency, and support a dog’s needs at every stage! I have experience with senior dogs, reactive dogs, needy dogs, shy dogs, puppies, ect. so there is a large spectrum of animals i’m able to care for :) I’d love to provide the attention & care your fur babies need!! Pet care fits into my routine while i am in between jobs & going to school so it is my full-time job as of right now. I’m usually free to book any days during the week which gives me plenty of time for longer visits and dedicated care. On busier personal days, I’m still willing to schedule drop-ins, walks, and check-ins around my daily routine, and make sure each pet gets consistent attention and care. I’m organized, reliable, and always plan my schedule to prioritize the pets I’m responsible for!! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their normal routine as closely as possible. I take time to understand each pet’s feeding schedule, exercise needs, & any special instructions or preferences. I make sure they have fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of attention. My priority is to make pets feel safe, calm, and comfortable while their owners are away!
“Qi and her daughters were great! They took care of Rexie, a siberian husky, as if he was their own. Rexie came back happy and tired from their walk which what I needed. Qi was also a great and fast communicator. I had to move our walk time to 1 hour later due to a forgotten doc’s apt and Qi was flexible and kind enough to push the walk and meet my schedule on a short notice. I enjoyed my interaction with her and recommend her to anybody with a high energy dog!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of every kind and grew up with them since I was young. Animals have always been part of my everyday life. I have experience with senior dogs up to 15 years old, dogs recovering from surgery, and cats with different personalities. I always adjust my care to meet each pet’s needs. My dog gets along well with both dogs and cats, and since I work from home, your pet will have plenty of attention and supervision. We have a fully fenced yard and live in a quiet hillside area with very little noise or traffic, which helps keep the environment calm. I work from home, so I’m usually around throughout the day. Pets are never left home alone. When a new dog arrives, I don’t rush introductions. On the first day, I usually keep them physically separated so they can get used to each other’s scent and presence. On the second day, I allow controlled sniffing and short, supervised interactions. By the third day, I continue observing and adjusting based on their comfort level. Most dogs settle in naturally with this gradual approach. Their safety and comfort matter most to me - it’s important that they feel secure in a new environment. I never leave pets loose together without supervision. If we ever need to briefly step out, we have play pens and crates to safely separate them.
About: My spouse and I are proud parents to three Golden Retrievers—Mango (13), Goldie (8), and Lychee (7). We love taking them out on adventures and watching them explore! With over 10 years of experience living with multiple dogs, we know just how to keep pups happy and comfortable. Our home also has a fenced backyard where dogs can run, play, and enjoy the outdoors anytime. I am an Assistant Professor in Kinesiology and work half time at home, and my spouse work in IT who works from home from time to time. We enjoy outdoor times, especially walking the puppies! Our time is very flexible and mainly at home to work and walk the dogs! We have a crated area for the three furry goldens, with plenty of toys and they will enjoy time playing together. Your dog will be taken out regularly for a walk, there is a trail right outside our house.
About: Saturday Grace has been an avid cat-lover all their life. They currently live with mostly senior cats and have lots of experience with subcutaneous fluids, medication, and general senior cuddling. But fear not! Saturday has also fostered many kittens, including those abandoned by their mamas and in need of bottle feeding. Saturday is an all ages cat-carer. Saturday has recently discovered their love of dogs as well. They love providing care, short walks, and lots and lots of snuggles to their canine friends. Saturday does best with small and medium dogs. They only take large dogs if they don't need walks. When they are not entirely absorbed by pet-cuddles, Saturday can be found reading, writing, or attempting not to kill their garden. As a full-time pet sitter, your fur babies are the focus of my day. I'm available for drop-in visits either morning (6am-noon), afternoon (noon-5pm), or evening (5pm-10pm). If I'm house sitting for your pets, we'll come up with an agreed upon schedule for when they need me home. I appreciate being able to care for pets in their own environments where they feel safe. I will respect your home just as if it were my own. At our meet and greet will discuss any house care (ie: mail or plant watering) as well as any house rules (ie: Miffie isn't allowed in the office). We will also discuss sleeping arrangements, if that applies.
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.
“I have been very happy with Isabel since day 1. She was willing to have a meet and greet, and my skittish new rescue took to her right away. She’s been kind and patient with him, I so appreciate her carrying him out of the building as the lobby and traffic scare him. I can tell he feels comfortable around her and I know she is observant of his comfort level out on their walks. Isabel communicates well and is very professional. I’m glad we found her!”
About: What sets me apart is the love and attention I give to every pet. I treat them like family, making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I go the extra mile with walks, playtime, and snuggles, while keeping owners updated with regular pictures and messages. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are always my top priority. I work part time, which gives me plenty of free time to care for pets. I’m available most mornings, making it easy to schedule walks, drop-ins, or cuddles when your pets need them most. I’m also flexible and can adjust to fit your pet’s routine, especially during weekdays and weekends. If pets stay in my home, I make sure they feel comfortable and part of the family—lots of playtime, walks, and snuggles. If I’m caring for pets in your home, I’ll follow their normal routine so they feel safe and relaxed. I always keep things clean, stick to feeding schedules, and send updates so you don’t have to worry while you’re away.
About: I am a huge animal lover who is passionate about providing top notch care and companionship to you fur babies. I have been a pet lover all my life. I get up in a house full of dogs and have general experience in care of animals for over 12 years. I am here to ensure you that your fur babies are safe, happy, and well cared for while your away. I take it to heart that you are putting your fur baby in the care of someone else and truthfully while they are with me as I treat them as my own. I work and go to school from home so I can make my own schedule. Spending time with animals makes me so happy and something I would love to do during my spare time. I promise you that I will follow your instructions, I will make sure your little furbaby is in safe hands with me. I love animals so don’t worry
About: I’ve cared for my 2 big babies for about 8 years now. At first I had only one dog, then she got pregnant and I helped deliver all her babies at home. We found homes for all of them, but we kept one. So now they are mother and daughter duo. I’m currently open to work from 10 am to 5 pm from Monday through Friday. Please consider me to take care of your fur baby when you’re away from home. At home I have two loving dogs that are freed to roam everywhere. They are friendly with people just not so much other fur babies.
About: I have been working with dogs for nearly a year and a half. The dogs I have worked with have had low energy and others have had lots of energy. The French bulldog I worked with was a pup and I was constantly monitoring and training the dog to stop eating branches and food on the walk. I have trained other dogs to stop yanking or to not chase after squirrels. I have worked with French bulldogs, Pomeranian, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, English Setter, Border Collie, Pit bulls, Yorkshire Terrier, Australian Kelpie, Siberian Husky, West Highland White Terrier, and Labrador Retrievers. Generally I work with referrals only. If you need references, I am happy to provide them. I work full time during the day with a flexible job which can be scaled down to meet pets needs. I am available for morning walks or meds, can coordinate a lunch/potty break, and will of course meet any needs in the evening that are necessary. Unfortunately, I do not have space for pets to stay at my home. I am protective of other people's living space as if it's my own. I will tidy up all messed and pet care needs if they arise. And I will make sure they get all the love and exercise they need.

“Ben did a great job with our dog for the weekend! I knew he was in good hands with Ben’s background, and we came home to a happy puppy. I’ll definitely be booking Ben again. Thank you!”
“**⭐️ 5 Stars – Amazing Dog Sitter! ⭐️** I couldn’t be happier with the care Mary provided for Kajree! From the very beginning, Mary was attentive, loving, and truly went above and beyond to make sure my pup felt safe, happy, and well-cared for. Almost daily updates (including adorable photos and videos!) gave me so much peace of mind while I was away, and it was clear Kajree had a great time with them. Whether it was walks, being goofy, or being cared for as a senior dog, Mary and her kids treated my dog like their family. I highly recommend Mary to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely caring sitter. Thank you for everything—we’ll definitely be booking again! 🐾❤️”
“Ghazal was amazing with Rio! Honestly, I think Rio may have enjoyed his time with her more than he enjoys having us around! She took such great care of him, kept us updated, and made leaving him so much easier. He came back happy, relaxed, and clearly very well spoiled. Would 100% have Ghazal watch him again!”
“Michael and Kris were amazing dog sitters! Our 12 year old mix breed dog (Kelbi) has extreme anxiety and does not do well with strangers. However she immediately fell in love with both of them and was clearly super happy when we picked her up after a one week stay. We are so happy to find Michael and Kris and will definitely use them in the future for boarding Kelbi.”
“This was the very first time I’ve ever left my 10 year old dog, Coco with anyone and I was honestly so nervous. But Son was absolutely amazing and made the entire experience so comforting for both of us. From the beginning, communication was great and we felt completely comfortable leaving Coco in his care. It was obvious she received lots of attention, love, and care during her stay. The updates and care he provided gave me so much peace of mind. Coco came home happy, relaxed, and clearly loved. I would absolutely trust him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone who will truly care for their pet like family.”
“I had a wonderful experience with Stefania while she cared for my dog, Shadow. She sent timely updates and plenty of pictures, which kept me at ease. I could tell she paid close attention to his needs and made sure he was comfortable throughout. What I appreciated most was her flexibility and the extra effort of dropping him home. Truly reliable and caring. I highly recommend her and would love to sit Shadow with her again.”
“Thanks to Christopher & his wife for taking care of Yogi this past weekend. Great people! We did meet and greet few days before boarding to get acquainted and it turned out smooth. Their rescued dogs are well behaved when we did the introduction. I can tell that Christopher and his wife really cares for the dogs and professionals. I’d definely board my dog with them when I go out of town/country. Thank you guys!”
“Ezra took great care of our dog, Hayes! We were hesitant to use someone new, especially over the holidays but she gave us the peace of mind we needed. She gave us regular updates about him every day and let us know how he was doing with the other dogs. Hayes had such a great stay and made new friends! We will definitely be booking with Ezra again in the future!”
“We left our doggie Coco over the weekend with Vico and Ming Ming and Coco had such an amazing time! We did a meet and greet with Coco and their dog as well. I’m glad Coco has a friend to play with! This was our first time using Rover but I will definitely be back. With the craziness of the morning, we forgot his leash and his food!!! But they were able to provide us with the necessities for Coco. We texted throughout the weekend using the app and received pics and video updates. We will defiantly be using them for future events. Thanks for a pleasant experience ❤️”
“Michelle and her family took such good care of Baloo. She send me several pictures everyday and took such good care of him when he had an upset stomach. I could enjoy my daughter’s wedding 100%, because I knew I didn’t have to worry one built about Baloo. I highly recommend using Michelle for boarding, and will definitely use her again.”
“This is our first ever dog care experience and Quang was quickly responsive to my needs for last minutes plans. I have a super high energy GSP and and an elderly Porky. He cared for both needs and they returned home tired and happy. I also had to extend the time for care and he helped make that process very smooth. Thank you Quang! I’ll reach out for the next trip.”
“Max, his wife, and Toby are great. He was flexible with our pickup and drop off times, and was willing to do a meet and greet for our dogs prior to the booking. Max made sure to ask us about our dog's needs and schedules so that he could ensure a comfortable stay. He was communicative throughout the stay, sent updates and photos. He seems very dog savvy and I felt comfortable with him as our sitter from the get go. We would definitely book with Max again - highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Loved Anna from the meet and greet. She's very warm and loving to her furbabies as well as to pups she's pet sitting/boarding. She knows their quirks, knows how to take care of them, and they listen to her. That made my husband and I decide to hire her to board our two senior dogs (11 yo labrador retriever and 9 yo Chi-mix). We don't really board our pups as we have my brother pet sit them when we're on vacation. Unfortunately, my brother passed and it's really hard to trust anyone with our furbabies esp ours are seniors. Anna, put us at ease, as we really need to board our boys due to our daughter's wedding and we're not able to take care of them with all the events and planning. She sent us pictures and videos of the boys which put our minds at ease. She was very caring and patient esp to our Chi-mix as he has separation anxiety. Thank you Anna for taking care of our boys! It's a bonus is that she has a clean house, indoor dog room for when pups needs to rest, and a nice backyard. We highly recommend Anna...we love her!”
“Somi had a great time! She is already missing her new playmates. Wei had great communication, responsive, and made the whole process stress-free. Definitely booking with them again in the future.”
About: Hi! I’m Maria — a lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’ve looked after playful puppies, calm seniors, and everything in between. I treat every pup as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddles, I always focus on giving them the attention and affection they deserve. I’m home most of the time, taking care of my 2-month-old baby and my three friendly dogs. That means your pup will never be left alone and will always have company! I’m available for dog boarding throughout the week, mainly during weekdays and some weekends. My home is cozy, safe, and full of love — perfect for dogs who enjoy being part of a calm family environment. Your dog’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I have a large, fully fenced yard where pups can play and explore safely. There’s always fresh water available, and dogs sleep indoors — in a warm, cozy space during the winter and a cool, well-ventilated area in the summer. My three dogs are very friendly and love making new friends, so your pup will feel welcomed and part of the pack from day one.
About: I’ve loved animals since I was a child, I’ve had ducks , cats , turtles, hamsters and of course dogs. My current family is 3 dogs (Lu, Teo and Chiko) they use to be 4 but Emilia just dead recently and Pepe my husband, we are a really happy family. I live in a house with a back yard, very safe, usually I do two walks with my dogs, I can do the same for yours, I have a lot of free time to care about them. I have much free time every day, and on weekends I’m at home the whole day, let me care about your pet and you will see how much fun and happy they will be.
About: I provide active, attentive, and structured care for both dogs and cats, with a focus on exercise, comfort, and individualized attention. For dogs, I’m especially a great fit for higher-energy pets that need more activity and engagement. I provide: • 3 daily walks (typically 20 mins to 1 hour each depending on energy level and needs) • A large fenced yard for safe outdoor play and exercise • Plenty of interaction, playtime, and supervision throughout the day I also have extensive experience caring for cats and have raised 5+ cats over the years. For cats that prefer quieter environments or separation from dogs, I have a dedicated empty bedroom available to help them feel safe and relaxed. Additional care I can provide includes: • Brushing and de-shedding • Nail trimming • Basic dental cleaning (if tolerated) • Frequent updates with photos/videos I focus on quality care and take a limited number of pets so I can give each one more attention and a calmer experience. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate morning, or evening visits. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends, and I can adjust to your pet’s routine to ensure consistency and comfort. I prioritize reliability and will make sure your pet is cared for on time every visit. I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment and always follow your care instructions closely. I understand that pets can be sensitive to changes, so I focus on minimizing stress and maintaining their normal routine. I’m experienced with handling pets gently, including grooming (brushing, nail trimming, and basic hygiene if your pets allows). I pay close attention to their behavior, appetite, and overall well-being, and I will keep you updated with photos and notes after each visit/activity. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and trust are always my top priorities.
About: What sets me apart is the time, patience, and level of care I provide for each dog. I offer full-time supervision in a calm, home-style environment with a large backyard, full camera coverage, and private sleeping areas tailored to each dog’s needs. I have experience with basic dog training and puppy routines, including reinforcing house manners, leash walking, and consistent daily structure. I’m also comfortable providing senior care, such as assisting dogs with limited mobility, maintaining gentle routines, and closely monitoring their comfort and behavior. Additionally, I have experience caring for dogs with medical and special needs, including dogs undergoing cancer treatment, dogs with tumors, and amputee dogs. I understand the importance of patience, careful handling, medication schedules, and creating a low-stress environment. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely and prioritize safety, comfort, and emotional well-being. As a scientist working from home with a flexible schedule, I am able to seamlessly integrate dedicated pet care into my daily life. Our routine begins at 9:00 AM with breakfast and fresh water, followed immediately by free time in the backyard for playing and sunbathing. My dog rests in their room from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM, which allows me to focus on my work, before we transition to the evening routine with a 6:00 PM dinner and more backyard activity. I stop water intake at 8:00 PM to manage overnight needs, and after a second rest period, we end our day with a dedicated one-hour night walk at 11:00 PM, which helps us both unwind before cleaning up and going to sleep. My home is equipped with a secure fenced yard for outdoor activities and full-house surveillance cameras to ensure pets are monitored at all times. I follow a consistent routine that balances exercise with rest: the day starts with breakfast and water at 9:00 AM, followed by supervised backyard play. We have designated quiet hours in a comfortable room from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM and again from 9:00 PM to 11:00 PM, which prevents overstimulation. I manage hydration by stopping water intake at 8:00 PM and end the day with a dedicated one-hour night walk at 11:00 PM, ensuring your pet is clean, happy, and ready for a good night's sleep.
