“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!”
“Thank you Minh for taking care our our dog Butter like your very own. Minh is very friendly and communicative. It was like we were leaving our dog with family, nothing to worry about, and we knew he would be in good hands!”
“Our Coco stayed with Queenie & Yu-Chieh for 10 days whie we were out of town. They frequently sent us photos and videos to keep us posted of how Coco is doing. They took very good care of Coco and we are grateful for the wonderful care they gave to Coco. We will definitely book again in the future.”

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 cat’s routine to ensure consistency and comfort.

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. Your cat’s safety, comfort, and trust are always my top priorities.
“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.”
“We had a wonderful experience with her watching our dog, Tuantuan, this past weekend! From the initial meet-and-greet, we knew Tuantuan would be in great hands. She was incredibly welcoming and clearly loves dogs. She provided regular updates and photos, which put our minds at ease. We could tell Tuantuan was having a blast playing in her home and yard and getting lots of attention. We really appreciated that she was flexible with our pick-up time. Tuantuan came home happy and tired, which is the best sign of a great stay! We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to other dog owners.”

I also keep the space clean, secure, and calm, and I always prioritize the pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being.
“Jacqueline was great. She has excellent communication and you can see clearly that she loves animals. My dog tends to get nervous being away from me and she was very attentive to my dog's needs. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future.”
“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.”
“Jaynee was an outstanding dog sitter for Kami! She was incredibly attentive and communicative, keeping us updated throughout the day. Kami seemed very happy and well cared for. We highly recommend Jaynee and will definitely be rebooking her services in the future!”
“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.”
“I cannot recommend Selena highly enough! Leaving my dog with her was the best decision I made. She is a wonderful, experienced woman who treats every dog as if they are part of her own family. My pup came home happy, calm, and clearly well-loved. She provided constant, loving attention and even sent me pictures while I was away. It is so rare to find someone with such genuine passion, patience, and compassion for animals. If you want peace of mind, this is the place”
“Son gave amazing care and provided constant updates including photos and videos while we are away. Powder had an amazing time staying at Son's home and 10/10 would recommend!!”
“Hands down one of the best Rovers I’ve used. Very communicative and friendly, great stimulation for my dog while I was away on an extended trip. Would highly recommend to anyone that wants their pet to have the utmost care and love while away from home. A+ and an easy 5 star rating.”
“This is our first time using the app, and we had a few last minute changes. We saw previous reviews and decided to try Leah. Not only was she flexible and worked with us, but she was very kind and took great care of our little guy. The following day something else came up and once again she flexed to assist us. Thank you so much for helping us out and allowing us time to flex our plans in this vacation!”
“Jocelyn was a wonderful companion for our dog Norman. He took to her right away and seemed immediately comfortable in her home. He had a spacious yard to explore and a warm sunny porch to nap on. We got regular updates and felt at ease knowing he was well cared for. We will happily reach out to Jocelyn again for sitting services.”
“Excellent!!! Our Fur-child Zoe was absolutely at home with Melissa & Hyun Dong . They are definitely two genuine animal lovers who they go out of their way to provide excellent care , comfort & lots of love to our fur-kids. Zoe was absolutely comfortable and very happy and thoroughly pampered by Melissa & Hyun Dong. We are absolutely delighted to have found our Zoe’s second home away from home with Melissa & Hyun Dong. Thank you.”

“Nikisha is great! We booked a bit last minute and she was able to accommodate us. She came for a meet & greet which we really appreciated. She was thorough and took care of everything we had discussed. She also sent notes and photos which were much appreciated as well. We’ll definitely book with Nikisha again!”
“Hailey is so amazing. Great communications, takes plenty of lovely pet pics so you don’t miss them so much. And makes everything easy and effortless. Would highly recommend!”
“We have worked with Michele three times now and could not be happier. I can tell from the photos that my cat loves seeing her and she is always very clear in her communication.”
“Joleen is such a sweet human and pet sitter! She goes above and beyond to care for the animals she watches over. She swept up litter and cleaned out Jack’s wet food dish everyday! She played with Jack and was respectful in our home! Jack can throw a fit and poop outside his box when we leave and she was so sweet in taking care of his temper tantrums! She was thoughtful enough to bring in our Amazon packages as well! Defintiely would rebook with Joleen”
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.
“I wasn't nervous wreck leaving my 2 kitties alone for the first time for a week-long trip. Before during and after the visit Christina cut me in the loop providing updates videos and questions if needed. I'm not the kind to just leave my cats alone and they have habits routines and they as well as I am very finicky on details (where stuff goes, individual food needs and keeping my cats to their usual food wake up and bedtime routines). Christina met each and every detail perfectly. Having Christina has made a big difference into my ability to make future plans and have fun while knowing that my babies are well taken care of while I'm away. My cats will miss Christina very much until they see her again!”
“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.”
“Shelly was a great choice! Every specific care task was completed. Last minute, one of my cats needed medication and she gladly took care of that as well. Shelly was punctual, communicated great, and helpful. One of my cats is super shy, but eventually opened up with Shelly (which is a good sign.) My cats were clearly happy and very-cared for. She provided up to date info after each visit and included cute photos of the two cats :) She definitely provided a sense of comfort and assurance while we were away. I would definitely recommend Shelly to other pet owners.”
About: I’ve cared for my Luna cat for 5 years, unfortunately my baby is no longer here with us, however I still have passion for caring for cats. I know they can be hard to handle at times as some are indoor cats and some outside cats. With patience and love they eventually come around.
“Chris was a great host for our cat. We had an emergency and booked at the last minute, but Chris was able to accommodate. During the meet-and-greet, Chris discussed expectations for the stay and how he plans to slowly introduce our cat to other pets in the house. Dropping our cat off was also very smooth and Chris ensured us that it would be OK. During the stay, Chris kept us up-to-date with many pictures and videos of our cat and how our cat was doing. Chris also detailed how he cared for our cat such as serving size for food and letting us know of any concerns and if they were anything to worry about. Even though there were other dogs and a cat in the house, Chris was very responsible and had a separate room where our cat could go into if he was anxious or nervous. Chris also accounted for the fact that our cat was staying temporarily and made efforts to get our cat to be comfortable with our cat carrier. Overall, it was a great experience and the updates and pictures were a great bonus. We would definitely re-book with Chris and will definitely recommend Chris to our friends.”
“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!”
About: I have looked after my 7-year-old cat for six years and have experience pet sitting for other cats, providing consistent feeding, litter box care, playtime, and gentle supervision. I am also familiar with dogs and have walked them before. I love meeting new pets, and I naturally connect with animals—almost every cutie cat that I meet seems to like me right away.
“Anna and her place were fantastic! Our cat had a great time, clearly very happy. And Anna was sending timely updates, along with photos and videos, throughout. Will most certainly rebook her, whenever we need our cat to be boarded.”
“Thanks a lot Andrea, we really appreciate your help and support. Mika was taken care off very nicely when we were away and we thank you for that. As a sign of our appreciation, we are leaving a small token gift for you”
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!

“I’m so grateful I found her! I needed a sitter at the last minute due to an emergency and wasn’t have the opportunity to do the usual meet-and-greet beforehand. She understood my situation right away from my message and graciously agreed to help. From the moment Snow arrived, I could tell she was in caring hands. Not only did she take wonderful care of her, but her husband was also involved and treated Snow with so much love and attention. They played with her, chased her around, kept her engaged, and truly made her feel like part of their family. Snow is house-trained but had an accident on their carpet. They were incredibly understanding and kind about it, and never made me feel uncomfortable or worried. I received regular photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. Her two dogs are also adorable, friendly, and welcoming. Snow absolutely loved being there and looked so happy in every picture. It genuinely felt like she was on her own little vacation! Finding someone who treats your pet / baby like family is rare, and that’s exactly what they did. I would trust them with Snow again without hesitation and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring, compassionate, and reliable sitter.”
“Feng made our shy pup Toby feel comfortable right away! She gave him lots of cuddles and treats, making him feel right at home. I will book again with Feng in the future!”

“I love booking with Anna, this is my 2nd time leaving my fur baby with her and she is so good with him. Anna is very understanding and accommodating to my puppy’s needs. She follows instructions and gives my puppy the attention he needs. Will definitely be coming back to Anna when we need her to look after my fur baby Oreo. Thank you Anna!”
“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!”

“Charlie had a great time with Ezra. He was happy to run back to her and then inside to play after his first day. Ezra has a great fund of knowledge and intuition when it comes to dogs. I really appreciate her attention and experience with Charlie.”
“Nano had a great time at Ashita’s. Before the day care day, Ashita even accommodated meet and greet which we appreciated. By the end of the visit, Nano wasn’t sure she wanted to leave! We will definitely rebook!”
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.
“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.”
“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!”

“Michelle was so great with Kuro! Kuro usually has stranger danger but upon arrival he adjusted to Michelle and her environment so well. I also got great updates and photos throughout the day which eased my dog mom anxiety. Thank you Michelle for taking such great care of our boy. We can’t wait for future play dates and stays :-)”
“This was Emma’s first Rover booking, and she did a great job! She was very accommodating when we had to make some last minute scheduling changes, which I really appreciated.

About: I’ve always had a lot of love for pets! And I thought it would be a good idea to incorporate things I like doing to my daily routine so why not take this opportunity to take care of a bunch of fur babies! Unfortunately I do not do meet and greets but I do send pictures of my yard and house so you can see where your fur babies will be staying and do calls before drop offs! I work from home and the rest of my day is pretty empty so I thought this would be a perfect distraction and a great second part time job for me! The dogs will be allowed to be inside or outside as well. I do have a big backyard for them to run around and play with fences of course for their safety!

“Shawna is excellent at communicating. We are so grateful for her help with walking Goose while we were away for a few days. We appreciate the thorough report cards. Goose seems so happy on their walks. Thank you, Shawna!”
“Son was a great walker for my parents dog while she (the dog) was staying with me for a few weeks! He made sure to follow her pace and provided fantastic reports for each of her walks. He was kind to her and understanding of her needs, and provided photos and info about each walk. Definitely would have him walk for us again in the future!”
“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!”

Currently working full time at a school district. During the School Year I am available to work after school/evening hours. In the Summer, I am available to work daytime hours. I can show the utmost care and gentle love for your dog in any capacity that you need whether it is the indoors or outdoors of your household.
“Zhengjun is amazing! She’s very reliable and great with communication, always sending lots of photos and updates. My dog absolutely loves her. I’m so grateful for her extra care on rainy days, making sure my dog is clean and dry before heading back into his crate. Highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a thoughtful and caring walker!”
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!
About: This is my first professional dog walking experience. I have walked plenty of dogs, both my own and my family’s and friend’s. I like dogs and enjoy walking outdoors, so dog walking felt like a natural way for me to help local pet owners. I’m a full time dad and my youngest is starting kindergarten soon, so I will have extra time in the morning. I also have a medical problem that requires I walk every day, so this would really help me too. I understand that trust is essential when caring for your pet, and I’m committed to treating every dog with patience, respect, and kindness while keeping you informed and confident throughout the walk.

I actually have one of my own which is a little Maltipoo. I am very attentive and responsible as I want to ensure all pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I treat them as if they were my own so I understand the importance of giving them the attention and affection they need. I am willing to adapt and learn how to best take care of your animal ☺️ I am currently working from home and have a very flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pet! Feel free to provide me a schedule that work best for you. I provide a safe and caring home with a large fenced backyard. I will be home for most of the time, attentive to routines, and committed to making sure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for.
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: 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. 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 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 4-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 • Constant Supervision: I work remotely, meaning someone is almost always home to provide cuddles, bathroom breaks, and attention. • 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: (Will also watch dogs in the 20s lb. range). Being a stay at home mom with four children (ages range from 15-7), your dog will get the attention s/he needs. Your dog will have access to a very open and spacious area for frequent walks, and we are runners so we will even run with your dog if that's what they love! We have taken care of friends' dogs when they go on vacation and my husband grew up having pet dogs. The children especially love animals and will spend time playing with and caring for your dog. We live in a quiet neighborhood, so your dog will also have a relaxing place to be if s/he is more of a laid back type. The neighborhood also has other dogs, so if your dog is the social type, there are plenty of friends around! I am available to care for your dog throughout the day! I always offer a walk first thing in the morning, throughout the day, and right before bedtime. I have many return clients who entrust us with caring for their animals! I have a loving environment where your pet will receive lots of love and attention.
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.

About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life — from barnyard pets to beloved family cats and dogs — and I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member with someone new.

I’m currently taking a break from the corporate world, which means your pet gets my full attention, a flexible schedule, and prompt communication. Whether it’s walks, cuddles, or special-care routines, I treat every animal as if they were my own. One of my favorite parts of pet sitting is capturing their personality with photo and video updates so you can see how much fun they’re having. Your peace of mind — and your pet’s comfort and well-being — are always my top priorities. I look forward to meeting you and your furry companion soon!
