“Boris and Olga were amazing dog-sitters. They sent me continuous updates and pictures. My dog looked really happy and calm in all. I highly recommend them.”
“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.”
“Thank you, Malika, for taking care of Cookie. She sent me updates with pictures every day and followed the care instructions very well. Cookie seemed happy while staying there. I will use your service again!”
“I’m so glad we chose to leave Phoebe with Joyce and her family. She was attentive and thorough, making sure she understood Phoebe’s needs, and she kept us updated throughout the weekend. I would absolutely book with Joyce again and highly recommend her for your dog-sitting needs.”
“Melissa and Hyun were excellent caretakers, and I felt completely at ease leaving my dog with them during my trip. They have a lot of experience with large dogs and knew exactly what questions to ask, as well as how to handle walks and feeding. I didn’t need to explain much, and they followed my instructions closely. They also kept me updated with great pictures and detailed updates, which I really appreciated. They are enthusiastic, easy to communicate with, and clearly love what they do. I’ll definitely be back again!”
“Finding TR was truly one of the best things that’s ever happened to us! This was our second time booking with her, and this time she cared for our cat for almost a full month while we were away on our honeymoon. She sent daily updates with photos and videos, and it gave us so much peace of mind. We could tell our cat felt comfortable, loved, and truly cared for the entire time. TR is reliable, communicative, and treats your pet like her own. We honestly can’t imagine traveling without her. We’re beyond grateful and highly recommend booking with her — your fur baby will be in amazing hands! 💕🐾”
“I recently moved to the Bay Area and this was my first time boarding Lucky with Julie and her family. I could not be more pleased with the stay! They took such good care of him and sent regular pictures and updates with little notes about what Lucky was up to. Julie was very flexible and allowed me to change the booking two times which I appreciated a lot. We did a meet and greet first where she patiently understood all of Lucky’s care requirements and answered our questions. The drop off and pick up went smoothly. Everything was neatly packed when I picked Lucky up, even his bowls were washed! And most importantly Lucky looked happy and well taken care of :) I would highly recommend Julie for her dog boarding services!”
“Xuhui is definitely the best sitter I have ever met! She took excellent care of my dog, Honey, and sent me photos and videos every day, updating me on how Honey ate, played, and went about her day. I watched Honey go from being nervous in a new environment to feeling completely comfortable there. Xuhui walked her, played with her, and even shared her homemade dog food—broccoli, carrot, and chicken—with her.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Megha and his family! They are extremely responsive and communicative, and they clearly love dogs. We received tons of photos and videos, which made us feel at ease the whole time. They were very thorough, took our dog on plenty of walks, and gave her lots of attention. Truly a wonderful family of dog lovers. Don’t look any further, we’ll definitely book with them every time again!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Just picked my puppy up from Yoona and Minjae and it was truly the most amazing experience from first contact to pickup. I was SO nervous to leave my beloved pup that I missed many trips because I couldn’t find anyone that felt like the right fit to leave him with. They were so warm, accommodating and welcoming and my dog instantly felt comfortable. They sent the perfect amount of updates/photos and were so communicative and responsive. They truly treated my puppy as one of the family and it instantly made me feel so much relief. They have the most adorable and sweet dog that my dog enjoyed being with. They worked with my ultra picky dog and made sure he ate by getting creative with his meals. I cannot recommend them enough and 5 stars isn’t enough. I am so grateful for them and the most incredible experience. Thank you so much, Yoona and Minjae!❤️🐶”
“We couldn’t have asked for a more thoughtful and dedicated dog sitter than Qi. From the very beginning, she demonstrated genuine care, attentiveness, and professionalism in looking after our beloved dog, Bear. It was immediately clear that she treats every pet as if they were her own. Qi went above and beyond to ensure Bear was not only well cared for, but also happy, comfortable, and loved while we were away. She kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind. Her attention to detail, reliability, and warm nature truly set her apart. When we returned, Bear was relaxed, content, and clearly had formed a bond with her—a true testament to the exceptional level of care she provides. We are incredibly grateful for Qi and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and truly exceptional in pet care. Thank you so much, Qi! We are hoping to book with you again soon, I know Bear can’t wait to see you again!”
“Oobleck had a wonderful stay with Michael getting daily walks, lots of belly rubs and scratches. Michael took great care of Oobie and I’ll definitely book him again for a future stay. Thank you Michael 😊 Oobie can’t wait to learn more cooking tips, watch the Roomba, and go on sniff walks with you again.”
“I felt so safe and comfortable leaving my cat with Jen. She was so incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and accommodating. Worked well with my schedule, including some last minute scheduling changes. She was so reassuring and it was so clear to me that my cat had such a happy and pleasant experience. I will definitely be booking with Jen in the future. Her regular updates, thoroughness, attention to detail, empathy, and experience made me feel relaxed during my trip, knowing that my cat was in good hands. 10/10 would absolutely recommend.”

“Yukie is THE BEST SITTER. We’ve booked her close to a dozen times or more. She’s great with our cat and checking the house over long periods. We cannot recommend her enough!”
“Laura is so wonderful! Thorough, responsive, sends great updates and photos 🥰 I always feel a lot more comfortable being away knowing she’s taking care of my little one”
“Recommend Jacob 1000%. He took great care of our kitten and obviously has a lot of love for animals. Very professional, responsive, and thoughtful. We plan to use him again.”
“Estefania was kind, helpful, and very communicative during the time she spent watching my cats. She was readily available to help with any concerns and always responsive!”
“Sam went above and beyond! She only just started sitting for me and did a host of extra things: checking on the cats when they got outside accidentally, moving the cats into a secure room when I had maintenance happening while I was away, and even picking up my Amazon package. Hire Sam!”
“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.”
“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.”
About: I’ve grown up with animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, and small pets like gerbils. I have a calm, patient, and friendly demeanor that helps me quickly build trust with animals of all personalities. As a dedicated animal lover, I treat every pet like family. I understand how important peace of mind is when you’re away, so I make it a priority to provide regular updates and photos to keep you reassured. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and pets who require medication, and I’m attentive to their individual needs and routines I am available most days out of the week, and on weekends. I currently work from home, so I can assure you that your pet will get all the attention and love they deserve! When boarding pets in my home, they are provided with a private, comfortable space in a dedicated spare bedroom to help them feel safe and relaxed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I am respectful of all household rules, maintain cleanliness, and provide regular updates and photos to ensure peace of mind while you’re away.
“As always Sarah was amazing and communicative with us and took wonderful care of our cats! She understands them so well, we're always comfortable knowing she's the one taking care of them while we're away. Thank you Sarah!”
“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.”
“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.”
About: I’ve spent years caring for cats through long term fostering and frequent pet sitting for friends and neighbors. My own cat is currently back home with family while I get settled here, but cats have stayed a constant part of my life. I’m detail oriented and reliable. I send timely updates and photos during every visit, so you always know your cat is happy, fed, and comfortable. I’m also mindful of how different cats are, some love attention and play, others prefer quiet company, and I adjust to what your cat needs. Please feel free to message me if you have any questions!

My availability is pretty flexible to come play and take care of your fur babies! Weekdays and weekends alike. Let me know what time works best for you and your cats. Cleanliness and hygiene is important for both us and our pets. Clean water, food bowls, and litter boxes are basics. They will be well cared for according to their needs!

“Joleen was absolutely amazing! She took excellent care of my two cats while away on a trip, was able to give my diabetic cat his insulin, and treated them like her own. I was extremely happy with the status updates and never had to worry about anything. If you need a reliable pet sitter who will give your pets the best treatment, look no further!”
“Amanda is super responsive, friendly, and down to earth. She went the extra mile to care for my cat, and she made sure to keep me regularly updated. I would recommend her in a heartbeat!”
About: I have worked with kitties in a variety of settings, from my time working at a veterinary hospital for three years, to being a trusted pet sitter. Besides that I have two amazing cats of my own. I have had one of them since she was only a week or so old (she was found under the hood of a car and brought in to the vet I previously worked at and I adopted her). My other kitty found me less than a year later at my old apartment complex. She was a stray that I took in after verifying she had no other home. They are now 17 and and 18 years old and I love them to pieces. I will love and care for your kitties like they're my own!

“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!”
“Let me just say, Julie ROCKS! She has been a saving grace for me moving up here to San Jose on a quick notice! She takes great care of my 3-1/2 month old Gemma. Bring your fur kids here! Gemma would love to wrestle with them… and She has a sweet older dog and daughter who Gemma loves! I’m going to leave it at that, because to be honest I could go on and on about how pleased I am and what a help she’s been!”
About: 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.
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.
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
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 personally had 5 Chihuahuas that were beloved by my whole family that all lived to be 20+ years. I currently have 3 Chihuahuas that live in my mother's room and they are my babies. I have dog boarded and dog walked my neighbor's husky for over 3 years with zero complaints. I can't wait to see your fur baby. It's the only thing I think about , I am available 24/7. Whether it's day or night, I am there for your dogs needs . Your dog will have a joyful and playful experience at my home, I have a fenced-in backyard as well as a fenced-in front yard for your dog to play. I have balls and toys for them to play all day as well as water to keep them replenished. Your dogs well-being is my main priority.
“Ahiram and her husband are amazing daycare sitters. They were very attentive and incredible with updates and responsiveness. Love the patience with our two kraken monsters (our dogs lol)”
About: I have always liked taking care of dogs of any kind. I have taken care of dogs in shelters and I have rescued dogs from the street. I am an experienced dog sitter but Im new to this rover. Mostly I take care of my family and friends dog when they are going to a vacation. I currently spend in my apartment with my dog and my daughter. In the afternoons we go for walks and go to a dog park near here to play outdoors. And on weekends my husband is with me to help me walk the dogs, to play with them. He loves dogs as much as I do. I have a very playful dog, she has access to everything, she can climb on furniture, beds without problem and your dog can do it too if he wants (: I keep the air conditioning at 70 or 72 (depends on how hot it is) I always make sure I have a nice environment for the dogs to feel good. BTW…. If your dog is very attached (like mine) and likes to sleep in bed, I have no problem letting him sleep in my bed. I promise to take care of him and treat him as if he were mine.
“Sofiya was very kind. It was my first time leaving my dog with someone. She sent pictures of Westley so I felt better about leaving him. He looked like he was having a wonderful time. He was in a great mood when I picked him up!”
“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.”
“Heather was amazing with Luna. She was great with communication and photo updates and made sure Luna had a walk and playtime. Luna can be a bit anxious but Heather made her feel comfortable and right at home.”
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.
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!

“So glad I was able to get into Jacob's schedule for regular walks with my big dog, Oliver. Jacob is timely, communicative, and Oliver is so excited to see him. Oliver can be a bit of an energetic handful but I trust Jacob and he doesn't seem to mind. He gets Ollie out for good long walks and has been great at giving me updates about their time together.”
“This is the second time I've entrusted Sam with my dog Goose. Sam is uber reliable and I appreciate how quick and easy it is to communicate with her and the love she gives to my dog, beyond walking him--sits with him, makes sure he is calm, etc. Leaving the dog alone is stressful for me and the dog but Sam takes some of the stress out of it (for both of us!)”
About: I am blessed to have been able to grow up with dogs. They are my world. From puppy care to senior care, I can promise you the best for your loved ones. I work part-time and would love to get the opportunity to take care of your loved ones. Due to the nature of my job, from weekdays to weekends my availability is very open. I am so excited to get to know you and your fur babies!! With years of experience in dog walking, feeding, and training, I understand that pets need proper love and care to thrive. I prioritize creating a safe environment that keeps your babies stress-free. I am very communicative and will adhere to their usual routines while taking lots of pictures so you are confident in my care for them!
“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.
“Devin was amazing with our girls. One of them is afraid of everything. She will go up to a stranger and back away when they try to pet her. She immediately took to Devin. She even got on her back for a tummy rub. Devin was extremely punctual. We will definitely use her for all future needs. Thanks, Devin!”

While my career has taken me away from the animal industry, my love for animals has never changed. My experience as a vet tech has given me experience with cats, dogs, and other small animals, as well as those pets with special needs. I have a dog of my own, so I know personally how important a great caretaker for them is. Looking forward to meeting you and hopefully the opportunity to care for your sweet pets! As my job is hybrid, I can work around pet care needs. I am a big planner, so I will ensure that your pet gets the walks and care they need when they need it.

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!

“Charlene is an awesome dog sitter!!! She attentive and loving. She took the time to meet with Riel and I before dog sitting Riel, and asked a lot of questions to try to understand my dog. Riel loves her. Seeing the pictures of Riel while I was on a trip gives me a peace of mind! Thank you Charlene!”
“Katie was great to work with! She was punctual, had great communication and sent us pictures of our dogs after their walks. They look so happy with her! I would definitely recommend Katie for your rover needs! Thanks Katie!”
About: Hi! I'm Bailey, and I've always loved being around dogs. I know a lot about dogs and their breeds, so I will make sure each walk is specfic to their personality, energy level, and what makes them comfortable. Whether your dog loves long walks, exploring new smells, or just getting outside for some fresh air, I'll make sure they have a fun and safe time! I also worked at a dog grooming salon as a receptionist, where I spent my days around dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I helped make sure pets felt comfortable and welcomed while communicating with owners about their pets' needs. This experience taught me how important patience, attention to detail, and trust are when caring for animals. I'm currently a college student, so I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate quality time to the pets I care for. As someone who has been involved in competitive swimming and coaching, I'm active and enjoy being outdoors, which makes dog walking a perfect fit for me. I love taking dogs on longer walks in areas they're familiar with and comfortable in while making sure they're getting plenty of exercise and attention. I understand that pets are family, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to make sure both you and your dog feel comfortable, confident, and happy while they're in my care. I look forward to meeting you and your furry best friend!
About: I've been caring for animals for most of my life and have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they're away. Grew up with dogs. I understand that every pet has unique needs, whether it's an energetic puppy who needs extra exercise and attention, or a senior pet who benefits from a slower pace and gentle care. Currently, I have a pet tabby cat named Kobe for the last 3.5 years. I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and communicative, providing regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel at ease while they're away. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for as if they were my own. I understand certain details of each personality as long as it's communicated. Either way, I can adapt. A Few Extras: If any of these apply, I can support. Experience administering oral medications Comfortable with multiple pets Flexible schedule Secure fenced yard Daily photo and video updates Comfortable with special diets and feeding schedules Pet care is a part-time opportunity that fits well into my weekly routine and allows me to spend more time doing something I truly enjoy—caring for animals. As a pet parent myself, I understand the importance of reliable and attentive care. My schedule is especially flexible during the summer, with good availability on Wednesdays and most weekends. I enjoy building connections with pets and providing them with companionship, comfort, and consistent care while their owners are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and follow each owner's instructions carefully to maintain their pet's routine and comfort. Whether in my home or a client's home, I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and positive interactions. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, fresh food and water, and regular updates so pet parents can feel confident their pets are well cared for.
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: 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.

“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.”
“Melissa and Hyun were excellent caretakers, and I felt completely at ease leaving my dog with them during my trip. They have a lot of experience with large dogs and knew exactly what questions to ask, as well as how to handle walks and feeding. I didn’t need to explain much, and they followed my instructions closely. They also kept me updated with great pictures and detailed updates, which I really appreciated. They are enthusiastic, easy to communicate with, and clearly love what they do. I’ll definitely be back again!”

“We couldn’t have asked for a more thoughtful and dedicated dog sitter than Qi. From the very beginning, she demonstrated genuine care, attentiveness, and professionalism in looking after our beloved dog, Bear. It was immediately clear that she treats every pet as if they were her own. Qi went above and beyond to ensure Bear was not only well cared for, but also happy, comfortable, and loved while we were away. She kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind. Her attention to detail, reliability, and warm nature truly set her apart. When we returned, Bear was relaxed, content, and clearly had formed a bond with her—a true testament to the exceptional level of care she provides. We are incredibly grateful for Qi and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and truly exceptional in pet care. Thank you so much, Qi! We are hoping to book with you again soon, I know Bear can’t wait to see you again!”

Thank you Michael 😊 Oobie can’t wait to learn more cooking tips, watch the Roomba, and go on sniff walks with you again.”
“This is our first time with Mary. We are very happy with the result. We had a hunch that our dog would have a good time stay. The pictures and captions during the trip showed that they enjoy each other very much. After the trip, it showed our dog is well taken care of and is just as happy as before the trip. When we mention Mary, our dog shows excited and wanting to play with Mary again. We made excellent choice this time. Definitely rebook.”

“We had a really great experience with Son while he took care of our dog, Bru. From day one, Son was super responsive and easy to communicate with, which made being away from Bru a lot less stressful. He checked in with us every day to let us know how Bru was doing — how his mood was, whether he was eating properly, and how he was settling in. As a pet parent, those little updates mean everything. Son was also very thoughtful and respectful about Bru’s routine. If there was ever a situation involving new food or any change, he always asked or kept us informed first, which we really appreciated. He was also incredibly accommodating, coordinating smoothly with a friend of ours for Bru’s drop-off and pickup, along with all his things. That flexibility made things so much easier for us. Most importantly, we could tell Bru was comfortable and well cared for. We truly loved the way Son looked after him and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Son to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet boarding option. We’ll definitely be reaching out to him again in the future.”
“John was great! Scruffy can be shy and very quickly John put him at ease and when we picked him up Scruffy had clearly made a new friend. Will definitely work with John again. Thank you!”
“It was PK's first time with Juliana, so we weren't sure what to expect. PK came back happy and tired. Juliana shared pictures and walks of PK out at the park. She also let us know when PK needed a little extra attention, which we were grateful to receive.”
