“Leah is a wonderful sitter for Leo. I booked her last minute appointment but she was great at following instructions! She sent updates (pictures & videos) of Leo. She even sent an inventory of Leo’s stuff before pick up. Thank you Leah Leo had fun!”
“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.”
“Sofiya is the best! My boy Titus came home happy, clean, and smarter. Sofiya taught him how to shake hands during his 6 day boarding while we’re on vacation! We will definitely have her watch Titus in the future. She gives us peace of mind and Titus loves her. Titus also came home with 2 new toys and a dozen eggs from Sofiya’s chickens as a bonus. A plus rating and above. Thank you!!”
“TR was great and attentive for our cat! They seemed to have bonded quite a bit based on the daily photos and updates over two weeks! I felt like our cat was in great hands and would definitely recommend her as a great 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!”
“She has been very supportive and my dog was very well taken care of. She made sure she shared all the videos and photos every single day. It was great stay for my dog.”
“I am so happy to have found Julie, even happier she is in my neighborhood. This is the first time ever leaving my 10-year old chihuahua/terrier mix with someone who is not family. Cherry doesn't necessarily have the friendliest persona nor is she the most social dog but during our "meet and greet" she and Julie's two dogs seemed fine together. Over the course of Cherry's 6-day stay, Julie provided many updates and photos and responded to any comments or questions I had. I consistently felt informed and secure that Cherry was doing OK. Julie has a warm, calm demeanor that made me feel secure about leaving my little old lady doggo with her. Would most definitely use her again. Awesome first time dog sitting experience. Thank you!”
“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.”
“Ben and his family took wonderful care of our two pups. We received plenty of updates, and both drop-off and pick-up were seamless. I was especially nervous about leaving one of our dogs, who can be quite anxious, but Ben’s knowledge and experience quickly put me at ease. Our pups came home happy, and we wouldn’t hesitate to send them back again.”
“Excellent communication! My dog was super happy the entire time, and was well loved. He even made a few doggy friends! I will absolutely be a regular of Amandas, and cant recommend her enough.”
“We had such a wonderful experience leaving our dog with Megha! They took amazing care of him and made sure he felt comfortable and happy throughout his stay. We really appreciated the regular updates about everything — his walks, sleep, how he was doing, and how well he was settling into their space. Their whole family was so kind and caring, and it was clear that our dog was treated like part of their family. They were also very responsive, flexible, and accommodating with our schedule, which made the whole experience stress-free for us. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to take care of their dog. We would definitely feel comfortable leaving our dog with them again!”
“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!”
“Joyce and her family took care of our senior dog over the holidays and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Our dog is blind and is usually fearful of new encounters, but when he met Joyce's family, he warmed up immediately to them and was jumping and licking their faces - something we rarely see! Her communication was great and provided regular photos and updates. She followed all our instructions carefully and even gave him multiple walks throughout the day. We would highly recommend Joyce to anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
“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.”
“Molly had a great time staying with Michael. She was well taken care of. We met Michael for a meet and greet ahead of her stay and he made sure to get as much information about Molly as possible to ensure she was going to be comfortable with them. We got updates from Michael throughout her stay and were never worried about how she was doing. We will book with Michael again.”
About: With a genuine love for animals and more than 10 years of experience caring for dogs, I’m dedicated to providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for your furry family member while you’re away. Whether it’s fun walks, playtime, cuddle sessions, or simply keeping them company, I treat every pet like my own and make their happiness my top priority. If you’re planning a weekend getaway, vacation, or need extended overnight care, I offer a cozy home setting where your dog can feel relaxed, secure, and well cared for. Your pup will enjoy comfortable bedding, fresh water available throughout the day, regular potty breaks, and plenty of love and attention. I always prioritize safety by ensuring pets are supervised and outdoor spaces are secure. I also provide regular photo and video updates so you can feel confident and at ease knowing your pet is happy, safe, and receiving the best care possible. Since I work fully from home, I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate different pet sitting needs, including weekdays, evenings, and weekends.

I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment for every pet. My home has a secure fenced yard where dogs can safely play and enjoy outdoor time. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and any special instructions from the owner. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, companionship, and care so they feel relaxed and happy while their owner is away. I also keep the space clean, secure, and calm, and I always prioritize the pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being.
“Matthew was great with Boba, and he really enjoyed the time spent with a full front and back yard. Matthew definitely was a godsend when I needed to find a sitter quickly!”
“Yoona, Minjae, and their sweet pup Buddy were absolutely wonderful hosts for my Bichon, Teo. This was Teo’s first stay outside the care of a family member, but from our very first meeting in Yoona and Minjae’s clean, welcoming home, I felt completely at ease knowing he would be in the best hands. Teo was comfortable with them right away, and the photos and videos they shared throughout his stay showed just how happy he was - enjoying plenty of walks, enrichment, and feeling truly included as part of their pack. It was clear that Teo received so much love and attention; he was affectionate with Yoona and Minjae and was genuinely treated like a member of their family. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and they were incredibly responsive and flexible with scheduling. The entire process was seamless, and Teo was calm and confident being left in their care. I couldn’t recommend Yoona and Minjae more highly, and know that Teo would be thrilled to return for future daycare or boarding stays.”
“Amelia is wonderful! We were so happy to be able to be away and know that she's taking good care of our pup. The fact that our anxious little dog loves her says it all.”
“We just picked up our 10 years old border collie Lucky after a 6 day 5 nights stay. It is a pity the highest rating is only 5 stars, to Lucky, Juanyi's service is 10 stars. My border collie does not like strangers in the beginning, but he allows Juanyi pet him in just a few hours. I could see from many pictures and videoes that my boy enjoys the friendship from Kaka, Panda and other lovely guests, also enjoys the love from Juanyi. I feel my boy is having a great vacation of his own too. I always hesitate to sign up family vacation because find a reliable dog sitter is often a difficult task, the last 3 dog sitter we used were moved or no longer offer service. I am glad we found Juanyi and the experience is so great. I read every review when i look for any kind of service, and by the time we book the service, there was only one review, to be honest i was a bit uncertain. During the met and greet, we walked around the neighborhood together, I was so glad Lucky quickly developped friendship with Kaka and Panda, and the drop off session was also great, which allow me to join the family vacation. We will definitely book with Juanyi again for our future vacations, and recommend to every pet parents, my Lucky was treated like Juanyi's own, yours will too!❤️”

“Laura was amazing with my 3 cats. Being out of the country for a week was way less stressful thanks to her detailed updates and pictures. I have some senior cats and a kitten and she was able to be flexible with the different needs. Thanks Laura!”
“Estefania did a great job! She was able to coax our normally shy cats out to play, which is not easy! Great to see the multiple photos of them lounging and playing! Definitely recommend Estefania, and will use her again.”
About: I’ve been around cats my whole life and have two cats of my own (Walter and Tortilla). I have experience babysitting my parent’s cats and my sister’s cats many times for extended periods of time. I know cat behavior pretty well and respect their boundaries. Getting a cat to trust you is one of the best things ever though.
“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.”
“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 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.

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.
“Angie is the best. I think my cat was looking forward to play time with Angie. The videos are so wonderful. I hope to hire her again the next time I'm out of town. Angie is just simply the best.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Yifei as our cat sitter. She took great care of cleaning the litter box, checking and refilling food, changing the water, and spending plenty of time playing with our cat. Our cat clearly loved her and felt very comfortable around her. She also uploaded photos regularly, which gave us great peace of mind. Communication was smooth and easy throughout. We’re extremely satisfied and would absolutely book her again in the future.”
“Sarah was the most perfect cat sitter! She arrived on time for each visit, sent multiple pictures, and wrote detailed descriptions of her visits each time assuring me that both cats were well taken care of. Definitely would love to have Sarah as a sitter again in the future!”
“My husband and I needed somebody to check in on our cats on short notice, and we are glad Li was able help! She took care to leave thorough updates for each visit and was able to give Joey his medication. We would hire Li again to watch our cats.”
“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!”
“Sabrina has been the best find on Rover! She is kind, dependable, and very responsive. You can immediately sense her love for dogs. She treats my pup like one of her own and he is always very excited to see her. I highly recommend Sabrina’s services!”
“Anke was an amazing pet sitter who took excellent care of our ragdoll cat. She was very patient despite our cat being very shy. She provided detailed updates and photos for each visit. It was great to have peace of mind as we travel when we knew that our cat was well taken care of. When we met Anke, we could feel her love for cats as she approached our cat the first time. She was very friendly. She even left a thank you note for us and small gifts to our cat when we returned home. Very thoughtful! We would wholeheartedly recommend Anke! Thanks Anke for doing such a great job!”
“Michelle stayed at our home with our kitty for a weekend. She was warm and patient with her. She sent regular updates and pictures of kitty and any packages that arrived. She took great care of our kitty and house.”
“Amanda came to our home once a day or twice as we needed to care for our cat Felix. She kept us updated with messages and wonderful photos of Felix while we were on our trip. We highly recommend Amanda for taking care of your pet.”

“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!!”
“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 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.
“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!”
“HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! I come to San Jose for business at least once a week and I always leave my dogs with Yifei! She’s very responsive, ALWAYS takes them on walks, and great with sending pics all day! Ps : she has the sweetest golden retriever!”
“Ezra took excellent care of Apollo! She sent periodic updates to throughout the day and I felt very safe leaving him with her. It’s clear she cares a lot about the dogs she watches and I’ve already booked her for future stays.”
About: I’ve spent years caring for animals through long term dog and cat fostering, as well as frequent pet sitting for friends and neighbors. My own cat is currently back home with family while I get settled here, but pets have stayed a big part of my life the whole time. What sets me apart is attention to detail. I send timely updates and photos during every visit, so you always know exactly how your pet is doing. Whether it’s feeding, a walk, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like my own. Please feel free to message me if you have any questions! My schedule is pretty flexible right now, and I can do drop in visits or walks 1 to 3 times a day depending on what your pet needs. 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.
“Florian is great! Would highly recommend. He watched my dog Theo for two days for doggy day care. He communicated well, took great care of my dog, and he came home exhausted!”
“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.”
“This was my Maizy's first visit with Sofiya. Maizy hasn't had much socialization with other dogs and Sofiya is helping her become more comfortable with the idea. Sofiya is a wonderful caregiver, very gentle and kind. She doesn't disappoint.”
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.
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.
“My dog stayed with Raquel for the day, and we had a great experience. He looked very comfortable and happy with Raquel and her family, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Raquel provided timely updates throughout the day, and it was clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs in her care. I felt completely safe leaving my dog with her and would not hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“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.”

“Ahiram took very good care of my dog & sent updates & photos. I was nervous at first because this is my first time leaving him with someone else but the updates kept me at peace. He was in very good spirits when I picked him up. Left my dog in great paws. 🐾”
About: I’ve always had dogs around, and we adopted Annie, our latest furry friend, four years ago. I treat my dogs like my babies, and spend a lot of time playing with them and making sure they are looking pretty at all times! I work from home, so I’m free to care for your dogs during the week. Weekend availability might be a bit spotty. I only leave the dogs alone when I’m heading to the gym (about an hour), but otherwise I always bring them along, even to restaurants! Please provide food, treats, a food bowl, and a dog carrier (it’s super important!). I have plenty of toys :) I live in a townhouse, I don’t have a yard but I take the dogs out for pee breaks every 3-4 hours and 2 20min walks (morning and evening). I have puppy gates in the house to confine them to the 1st floor if we step out, and a crate (if needed). I also have a camera on that floor to monitor the dogs!
“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!”

“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've been around cats and dogs since I was a baby. After being scratched many times growing up around cats, I have learned cat behavior pretty well. I currently have two cats that would attest to that if they knew English. As for dogs, I've been around many different breeds. My family has had a German Shepherd, a black lab, a tea cup chihuahua, a beagle, and a jack a poo. (not all at the same time.) I feel comfortable taking care of most dogs! I also have house sat for friends with dogs many times before. (they were a mastiff and a weimaraner) I mostly spend my day working on personal projects on the computer. The schedule for those is very flexible so I have plenty of time to stop by and take care of pets! I currently have two cats in my apartment. I keep the litter box cleaned, I play with them throughout the day and take them out on walks in a stroller occasionally. All things I can do when caring for your cat (except for the stroller, probably).
“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!”

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: I have taken care of dogs for the past 5 years and am comfortable administrating medication, taking them on walks, walking multiple dogs at once, and taking care of dogs of all sizes.

About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was a kid, whether it’s my own or my neighbors. I love all kinds of dogs and personalities! As a new graduate Physician Assistant I have a lot of free time until my first job begins and would love to help you care for your pet!! I am currently unemployed for a few months until I begin my first Physician Assistant job. Therefore my availability is wide open and I am able to care for your pets during the day or evening. I will make sure your dog feels comfortable and cared for while you are gone. From playtime, to walks, just let me know your pets preferences and I will happily try to stick to their routine.
“Charlene is absolutely wonderful with our dog! She’s our go-to for walks three days a week and has been incredibly reliable and attentive. She communicates clearly, always gives thoughtful updates, and I can tell she genuinely cares. I always feel confident that our dog is safe and well taken care of when he’s with her. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve helped take care of dogs for most of my childhood. Whether it was my family’s, family friend’s, or my own pets, I’ve made sure that they were treated with love and care. I’m currently working part time as a ballet instructor. Though I will make sure to find the most convenient times that work best for both parties. As of now, my place might not be the best place for pets to come back to since I live in an apartment complex, but it does have a whole pet area to play in, plus I will make sure they get many pets and attention.
About: My family has had dogs my entire childhood, so I’ve had the experience of taking care of up to 3 large dogs at a time. I’ve learned how to feed, brush, bathe, and play with dogs my whole life. I also have prior experience doing drop-ins for other people’s dogs; feeding, watering, and playing with them twice a day. I believe it’s vital for pets to be physically and mentally stimulated every day, and I’m honored to be the person that can do that for them! I’m currently a student at SJSU looking for a summer job. I do not have a car, but I’m happy to take public transportation within reason to watch your pets! I’m mostly available on weekday mornings and afternoons. In terms of safety and security, I’m happy to accommodate your needs. Whatever you need me to do to make you more comfortable with me taking care of your pets in your home/yard I can do! In terms of dog-walking, I can take whatever route you prefer, and/or stay in your own neighborhood for your comfortability.
About: I have experience taking care of pets from hamsters to birds to cats and dogs. I know how to adapt to different personalities and requirements based on each pet. I have also taught my cat how to give a high-five and that was fun so I am open to continuing training for pets too. I currently don’t have a full time job so my availability is very flexible. I am also starting on my own exercise journey so being able to get active and meet my daily step goals alongside a furry friend sounds like a cool way to combine interests. In my own home I care for my cat by having an airtag on her and providing supervised patio time. When I take my cat on walks, I use a leash to keep her safe. For taking care of your pet, I will continue to keep an eye on them during play and make sure they dont get into any trouble by eating things they aren’t supposed too. I am good at following directions if your oet has specific instructions for their safety.
About: I am a traditional over communicator. Aside from loving pets and making sure they feel loves and cared for I also like their parents to feel informed as must as they want to. I like to provide an absolute awesome experience for both pets and owners alike. I firmly believe the best way forward is to understand how everyone likes to communicate. Imagine having peace of mind when traveling or just going to work. You can also receive photos and updates as needed. I will take care of your furry friends in way that they will love. I am currently available 4 days a week. For three days I do have to take care of some errands but I can work around that schedule. I will always try to be available over the weekends and will adjust for extended stays. I do care the same way owners will care about them. I diligently follow instructions and continue to educate myself on best ways for care. This includes reading but also nurturing pets that I have met in my pet sitting journey.

“Sofiya is the best! My boy Titus came home happy, clean, and smarter. Sofiya taught him how to shake hands during his 6 day boarding while we’re on vacation! We will definitely have her watch Titus in the future. She gives us peace of mind and Titus loves her. Titus also came home with 2 new toys and a dozen eggs from Sofiya’s chickens as a bonus. A plus rating and above. Thank you!!”
“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!

“Ben and his family took wonderful care of our two pups. We received plenty of updates, and both drop-off and pick-up were seamless. I was especially nervous about leaving one of our dogs, who can be quite anxious, but Ben’s knowledge and experience quickly put me at ease. Our pups came home happy, and we wouldn’t hesitate to send them back again.”

“**⭐️ 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! 🐾❤️”

“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.”
