“I can't recommend Thuong enough! She was incredibly communicative throughout our time away, sending lots of pictures and updates that gave us real peace of mind. She took our dog on regular walks and clearly cared about her wellbeing. From the start she was open to a meet-and-greet and never once pressured us to book, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and trustworthy. We'll definitely be rebooking!”
“This is our first ever dog care experience and Quang was quickly responsive to my needs for last minutes plans. I have a super high energy GSP and and an elderly Porky. He cared for both needs and they returned home tired and happy. I also had to extend the time for care and he helped make that process very smooth. Thank you Quang! I’ll reach out for the next trip.”
“Thanks Valerie for watching Wallie again! Wallie usually takes a couple days to settle in a new environment, and Valerie stayed closer to Wallie in the living room overnight to help him settle in!”
“Ghazal was amazing with Rio! Honestly, I think Rio may have enjoyed his time with her more than he enjoys having us around! She took such great care of him, kept us updated, and made leaving him so much easier. He came back happy, relaxed, and clearly very well spoiled. Would 100% have Ghazal watch him again!”
“Thanks to Christopher & his wife for taking care of Yogi this past weekend. Great people! We did meet and greet few days before boarding to get acquainted and it turned out smooth. Their rescued dogs are well behaved when we did the introduction. I can tell that Christopher and his wife really cares for the dogs and professionals. I’d definely board my dog with them when I go out of town/country. Thank you guys!”
“Xiuhui is an amazing dog sitter and made our first boarding experience so smooth and stress-free. My dog was very nervous at the beginning, but Xiuhui was incredibly patient, experienced, and caring, and helped him adjust to the new environment very quickly. She sent me daily updates and treated my baby like her own dog, which gave me so much peace of mind. Communication was always fast and thoughtful, and I truly felt my dog was in the best hands. Highly recommend!”
“Absolutely wonderful experience! Our dog was very well cared for and came home happy, comfortable, and relaxed. The communication was great, and we felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. We would definitely book again and highly recommend! ❤️”
“Rachel is a fantastic caregiver who is always friendly, super flexible, and incredibly trustworthy. Lola always comes back happy and tuckered out! Thanks, Rachel!”
“My dog was in good hands with Jane while I was away. She is very thorough, attentive and loving towards pet care. I received regular updates and communication was smooth. I would definitely keep my dog in her care again.”
“Leah was absolutely phenomenal with my little Remy. It was my first time using rover so I was quite nervous. She sent regular photos and video updates which was absolutely charming! I will be going back to her also I 100% recommend her to all🐶”
“Our dog spent another long weekend with Boris and Olga and I feel like he had the best weekend! They took him on a hike and it feels like they really treated him like their own. Great communication. Lots of photos. Flexible with drop off and pick up. Would absolutely use again!”
“Malika took great care of Dapper. She sent us regular updates on his feeding, exercise and downtime. Her home is located beside a park and it's a great place to walk the dog.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Minh is so nice and accommodating. Very easy to work with. This was our first time using Rover and we could not be more pleased with the experience. She sent us picture updates regularly, she provided a safe and clean environment for our dogs. We could not be happier. Thank you, Minh!”
“Michael and Kris were amazing dog sitters! Our 12 year old mix breed dog (Kelbi) has extreme anxiety and does not do well with strangers. However she immediately fell in love with both of them and was clearly super happy when we picked her up after a one week stay. We are so happy to find Michael and Kris and will definitely use them in the future for boarding Kelbi.”
“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!”
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.
“I can’t recommend Sarah enough as a dog sitter. My dog, Teddy, absolutely loves staying with her—he gets genuinely excited every time he realizes he’s going back, which says everything. What I appreciate most is how incredibly detailed and consistent her updates are. Every day, she sends multiple photos and videos—Teddy eating, playing, going on walks, and even updates on how he’s doing overall. She keeps me fully informed, down to small but important details, so I never have to wonder how he’s doing. It gives me real peace of mind knowing exactly how his day is going. It’s also clear that she truly cares about the dogs she looks after. She takes Teddy on walks, to the dog park, and even on hikes, making sure he stays active and happy. On top of that, her home environment is wonderful—her two dogs and her cat are all very friendly, and Teddy gets along great with them. He’s not just being watched; he’s having a great time. Whenever Teddy stays with Sarah, I know he’s safe, well cared for, and genuinely happy. I fully trust her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive dog sitter.”

“Lifei did a good job engaging with our shy cat. She took care of the litter box well and then of course the food and water. She took a lot of pictures so we could keep track of how our cat was doing(even included a neighborhood cat hanging out on the porch).”
“Hailey did an excellent job! She was so reliable & communicative. It was our first time using her as a sitter and I had no worries. You can tell she loves animals and is great at her job. Will definitely hire her again!”
“Joleen did a great job taking care of our cat that has a bit of a special health need (requires an inhaler for asthma). She followed all of the instructions and went above and beyond with care and updates. We've had some trouble returning back on time, and she kindly agreed to take care of our Blackberry for an extra day on very short notice. We returned to a clean house and a happy cat!”
About: I have a year of hands-on experience caring for someone else’s cat, including feeding, refreshing water, cleaning the litter box, playtime, and spending time together. I understand that every cat has their own personality and boundaries, so I’m patient and happy to give them attention or space depending on what makes them most comfortable. I’ll carefully follow your cat’s usual routine and send you plenty of photos and updates while you’re away!
“I was so happy that Michele was available over Labor Day weekend. My cat was very happy the last time Michele cared for her, and this time was no different. She sent daily pictures and detailed updates about my cat that really put me at ease while I was traveling knowing that she was doing well. A package containing very important medication arrived one day just a few minutes after Michele had left my house. I had forgotten that it was coming, and was having a panic about it being out on my doorstep for 24 hours. Without hesitation, Michele offered to make another trip to my house to secure the package. She even sent me a picture of it safely inside. I have nothing but praise for Michele and will happily hire her again.”
“Christina was amazing! She was incredibly thorough and reliable and made sure that our cats get everything they need. She always provided plenty of pictures and videos during every visit. She even went above and beyond and picked up and vacuumed the mess that our cats made. I would absolutely recommend Christina to everyone, and would book her again in a heartbeat!”
“Highly recommend Michelle! She took great care of my cats and provided thorough visit notes. I felt 100% confident leaving my pets in her hands. Will definitely book again!”
“Highly recommend Elise to take care of your fur babies while you are away. I’ve always been nervous to be away from home because I have 1 really timid cat and another really picky/sensitive stomach cat that has made it difficult to just leave them to any random sitter. This is the second time Elise cared for my cats. Even with new feeding/litter changes and such peculiar care instructions, Elise continues to take great care of my kitties! And I returned to a clean home and kitties that were perfectly cared for! Thank you Elise for another great visit!!”
“Estefania helped me take care of my two boys while I was away for 10 days. She immediately got the boys trust around day2 or 3, which is amazing. She is also very responsive, and helpful. Highly recommended.”
“Qi took great care of our cat while we were away. She is great at communicating and very trustworthy. I am so happy she took care of my cat while we were away and would definitively recommend her!”
“Chris was amazing with my cats, always ensuring their safety and care by sending videos and pictures. They really enjoyed him coming over. Freddie usually tends to shy away from strangers but she immediately warmed up to Chris! He was very attentive and paid close attention to the care instructions. I absolutely was not worried while I was away on holiday vacation. I knew they were in good hands.”
“This was my third time booking with Yifei, and she has been fantastic every time. She is very responsible, responsive, and truly cares about Bonbon. I received lots of photos and updates during each visit, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. Bonbon clearly likes her and was perfectly happy when I returned home. I highly recommend Yifei and will definitely book with her again.”
About: I’ve had a love for cats ever since I was little and have my own cat as well. I am experienced in taking care of cats of all ages and would love to get to know yours! I am aware that all cats can have their own unique personalities, preferences, and needs so I would love to help accommodate your kitties to create a comfortable and caring environment for them!
“Zhengjun took excellent care of our cats! Our feline babies were well fed and played with, and we got a lot of pictures and videos from Zhengjun. We would love to have Zhengjun take care of our cats again!”
About: We adopted a kitty 3 years ago and absolutely adore her! I have learned cat language LOL! I have experience with play for bonding and reducing boredom. I know where the sweet spots are for scratches. And I know when they just want to be left alone. I approach calmly and with gentleness to reduce skittish behavior or anxiety. I love feeding and giving treats to gain trust and I don't mind cleaning litter boxes.
About: I’m a cat mom with years of hands-on experience caring for cats. I understand that every cat has a different personality—some love attention and playtime, while others need patience and space to feel comfortable. I’m happy to provide feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, and lots of love and companionship. I’ll always follow your cat’s usual routine and respect their boundaries so they can feel safe and relaxed while you’re 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.”
“Amanda did a wonderful job taking great care of our cat 🐈⬛. She was responsive and a good communicator. She informed me of all the little things and big things. She went above and beyond for us.”

“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.”
“Ezra was very communicative and attentive, and our dog Onyx had a great time! He got to play with a few other dogs his size, and Ezra made sure to introduce him to each dog 1:1 to make sure they got along first. So happy to have found a great daycare for Onyx!”
“Anna has been wonderful! She watches a few other dogs and has a foster and her own which has been amazing to help socialize my one and a half-year-old Sheba. They have outdoor time in the backyard. They have a dedicated room for the dogs in the kennels. She is very flexible in terms of pick up and drop off. There’s been a couple times where I got stuck at work and she didn’t mind holding him for a few more hours. My pup gotten so comfortable at Anna‘s he knows that in the morning time when we’re getting in the car, it’s time to go to daycare”
“My dog Sheera stayed with Dakshina and Rahul for a day. I got lots of photos and video updates. They took good care of Sheera. When I reached to pick him he was very comfortable with them and was playing with them. I would highly recommend them and would board Sheera with them again.”
“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!”

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!”
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.
“Shivani was great with Zion, she is officially the 1st person to dog sit him besides a kennel and at 1st I was extremely nervous. I can tell Zion had a great time from all the photos Shivani posted. Plus I could see all his activities. So happy Zion got to experience Shivani.”
“I was so impressed and pleased with Julie's stay with Rosita and Luna. Rosita's communication was impeccable. She let me know how things were going throughout the stay. And I even got a video of her reading a story to Julie! So cute. I know she was in great hands with Rosita.”

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs, from the very small to very big! I was fortunate enough to grow up with a black lab of 16 years and my aging feline I still see when I visit my parents on the east coast. I’m athletic and affectionate with a flexible schedule - I’d love to care for your little loved ones the way they need. Currently, I work part time in Mountain View and live and attend school in San Jose. I’m looking for small jobs so my availability is pretty flexible. I am fully available Thursdays through Sundays. I live in an HOA that has a private and quiet environment for walking and playing. My townhouse has the space for your pet. Additionally, I like going to SJSU for more of an open space to play and relax as well.

About: Hello! My name is Xiuhui (Sophie). I’m a dedicated dog sitter with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs. I have a poodle of my own, so I’m very familiar with daily routines, grooming, feeding, and creating a calm, structured environment. I pay close attention to each dog’s habits, diet, and emotional needs, and follow their usual routine so they feel comfortable and secure. My goal is to provide a safe, low-stress, and loving home away from home. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and dogs who may need extra attention. Over the years, my own dog has experienced various health conditions, so I’m patient and comfortable providing gentle, attentive care when needed. I intentionally keep my boarding small (usually 1–2 dogs at a time), so each dog receives focused attention, consistent supervision, and personalized care. You’re always welcome to schedule a meet & greet to see if it’s a good fit. I spend most of my time at home, so I’m able to give dogs plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I follow a consistent routine with regular feeding, potty breaks, and light exercise. I provide a calm and comfortable environment and am best suited for dogs with moderate or lower energy levels, so they can feel relaxed and at ease during their stay. I live in a very pet-friendly apartment community. My home has a comfortable private patio where dogs can relax, enjoy fresh air, and sunbathe safely. Right downstairs, there’s a fenced dog park where dogs can safely go off-leash for potty breaks and light activity, making daily care convenient and stress-free. I always ensure dogs are in a safe, calm, and clean environment.
“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: I’ve cared for my 2 big babies for about 8 years now. At first I had only one dog, then she got pregnant and I helped deliver all her babies at home. We found homes for all of them, but we kept one. So now they are mother and daughter duo. I’m currently open to work from 10 am to 5 pm from Monday through Friday. Please consider me to take care of your fur baby when you’re away from home. At home I have two loving dogs that are freed to roam everywhere. They are friendly with people just not so much other fur babies.
About: I truly love animals. I am that person that will pull over on a busy road or highway to save an animal or bring a lost animal home until I find the parents. Your fur baby's well-being is my top priority! I've had dogs my entire life and have raised them from puppies to seniors. I trained my puppies with patience, consistency and positive reinforcement and cared for them as seniors with gentleness and compassion. I am not afraid to clean up accidents or messes (I've done it all, lol) and I can administer topical and oral medications. I have also cared for other types of animals such as reptiles, amphibians, birds, fish and rodents should you need care for them as well. Please choose the cat care services for other animals. Please no aggressive or poisonous animals. I work part-time from home so I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies. I am available weekdays from 11am - 10pm and some weekends from 11am - 10pm. Rest assured that while visiting your pet/s at home, I will check that they are well, have water and food (based on their feeding schedule) and that they get plenty of affection. Upon leaving your pet/s, I will make sure they are secure in the home and that any pet messes are cleaned up. I will also send Rover Cards and occasional pictures of our pawsome visits!
About: I’ve cared for rescue dogs for more than 15 years, and I currently have three friendly dogs at home. I’m used to all kinds of personalities—shy, energetic, or senior—and I make sure every pup feels safe, comfortable, and at home. I’m attentive, patient, and committed to giving each dog the care, structure, and affection they need to feel relaxed and happy during their stay. I have open availability and spend most of the day at home, so dogs are rarely left alone. Caring for my 3-month-old baby keeps me on a home-based routine, which means your pup will always have supervision, company, and plenty of time for walks, play, and relaxation in a calm, safe environment. I have a large fenced backyard where dogs can run freely and safely. My friendly dogs love having visitors, and we always do slow, calm introductions. We follow each owner’s routines closely and can crate your dog if needed. I make sure every pup feels safe, supervised, and comfortable—just like part of the family
About: Saturday Grace has been an avid cat-lover all their life. They currently live with mostly senior cats and have lots of experience with subcutaneous fluids, medication, and general senior cuddling. But fear not! Saturday has also fostered many kittens, including those abandoned by their mamas and in need of bottle feeding. Saturday is an all ages cat-carer. Saturday has recently discovered their love of dogs as well. They love providing care, short walks, and lots and lots of snuggles to their canine friends. Saturday does best with small and medium dogs. They only take large dogs if they don't need walks. When they are not entirely absorbed by pet-cuddles, Saturday can be found reading, writing, or attempting not to kill their garden. As a full-time pet sitter, your fur babies are the focus of my day. I'm available for drop-in visits either morning (6am-noon), afternoon (noon-5pm), or evening (5pm-10pm). If I'm house sitting for your pets, we'll come up with an agreed upon schedule for when they need me home. I appreciate being able to care for pets in their own environments where they feel safe. I will respect your home just as if it were my own. At our meet and greet will discuss any house care (ie: mail or plant watering) as well as any house rules (ie: Miffie isn't allowed in the office). We will also discuss sleeping arrangements, if that applies.
About: I have 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 have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and birds. I grew up in a home full of animals, including our family dogs, cats, and a sweet cockatiel, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities and needs. I’m patient, gentle, and always make sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or just keeping them company, I truly enjoy taking care of animals like they’re part of the family. I have open availability and can easily work around your schedule, whether it’s weekdays, weekends, or holidays. I’m flexible, dependable, and happy to accommodate last minute needs whenever possible. I care for pets like they’re my own following their routine, giving them love, play, and comfort. I keep things clean, calm, and cozy so they feel safe and happy.
“I have been very happy with Isabel since day 1. She was willing to have a meet and greet, and my skittish new rescue took to her right away. She’s been kind and patient with him, I so appreciate her carrying him out of the building as the lobby and traffic scare him. I can tell he feels comfortable around her and I know she is observant of his comfort level out on their walks. Isabel communicates well and is very professional. I’m glad we found her!”
About: I adopted my Shiba Inu, Freddy, when he was almost 2 years old, and he turned 7 in July this year! Some people say Shibas are difficult to take care, but Freddy is absolutely amazing and well-behaved. My wife and I treat him like our son, and we walk him at least twice a day since Day 1. His meals consist of boiled chicken breast/thighs/legs, cabbages, broccoli, carrots, and dog food, etc. Spending time with dogs is one of my greatest joys because they truly are the most loyal friends humans could ever have. Having Freddy in my life has been one of my greatest blessings. From Monday to Friday, I start my workday early in the morning and finish around 2pm. Since my office is only about 10 minutes from home, I have plenty of flexibility and am free from around 3pm until midnight every day. We have a backyard where Freddy can enjoy the fresh air and sunlight, and we even built a small door so he can go in and out freely whenever he wants. Since day one, he’s been covered by pet insurance, and we make sure to bring him in for annual check-ups, including heartworm tests and comprehensive health screenings, to keep him in the best shape possible.

“This is our first ever dog care experience and Quang was quickly responsive to my needs for last minutes plans. I have a super high energy GSP and and an elderly Porky. He cared for both needs and they returned home tired and happy. I also had to extend the time for care and he helped make that process very smooth. Thank you Quang! I’ll reach out for the next trip.”
“Ghazal was amazing with Rio! Honestly, I think Rio may have enjoyed his time with her more than he enjoys having us around! She took such great care of him, kept us updated, and made leaving him so much easier. He came back happy, relaxed, and clearly very well spoiled. Would 100% have Ghazal watch him again!”
“Thanks to Christopher & his wife for taking care of Yogi this past weekend. Great people! We did meet and greet few days before boarding to get acquainted and it turned out smooth. Their rescued dogs are well behaved when we did the introduction. I can tell that Christopher and his wife really cares for the dogs and professionals. I’d definely board my dog with them when I go out of town/country. Thank you guys!”
“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.”
“Michael and Kris were amazing dog sitters! Our 12 year old mix breed dog (Kelbi) has extreme anxiety and does not do well with strangers. However she immediately fell in love with both of them and was clearly super happy when we picked her up after a one week stay. We are so happy to find Michael and Kris and will definitely use them in the future for boarding Kelbi.”
“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!”
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.
“Max, his wife, and Toby are great. He was flexible with our pickup and drop off times, and was willing to do a meet and greet for our dogs prior to the booking. Max made sure to ask us about our dog's needs and schedules so that he could ensure a comfortable stay. He was communicative throughout the stay, sent updates and photos. He seems very dog savvy and I felt comfortable with him as our sitter from the get go. We would definitely book with Max again - highly recommend!”
“**⭐️ 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! 🐾❤️”
About: Hi! I’m Maria — a lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’ve looked after playful puppies, calm seniors, and everything in between. I treat every pup as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddles, I always focus on giving them the attention and affection they deserve. I’m home most of the time, taking care of my 2-month-old baby and my three friendly dogs. That means your pup will never be left alone and will always have company! I’m available for dog boarding throughout the week, mainly during weekdays and some weekends. My home is cozy, safe, and full of love — perfect for dogs who enjoy being part of a calm family environment. Your dog’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I have a large, fully fenced yard where pups can play and explore safely. There’s always fresh water available, and dogs sleep indoors — in a warm, cozy space during the winter and a cool, well-ventilated area in the summer. My three dogs are very friendly and love making new friends, so your pup will feel welcomed and part of the pack from day one.
“I had a wonderful experience with Stefania while she cared for my dog, Shadow. She sent timely updates and plenty of pictures, which kept me at ease. I could tell she paid close attention to his needs and made sure he was comfortable throughout. What I appreciated most was her flexibility and the extra effort of dropping him home. Truly reliable and caring. I highly recommend her and would love to sit Shadow with her again.”
“Loved Anna from the meet and greet. She's very warm and loving to her furbabies as well as to pups she's pet sitting/boarding. She knows their quirks, knows how to take care of them, and they listen to her. That made my husband and I decide to hire her to board our two senior dogs (11 yo labrador retriever and 9 yo Chi-mix). We don't really board our pups as we have my brother pet sit them when we're on vacation. Unfortunately, my brother passed and it's really hard to trust anyone with our furbabies esp ours are seniors. Anna, put us at ease, as we really need to board our boys due to our daughter's wedding and we're not able to take care of them with all the events and planning. She sent us pictures and videos of the boys which put our minds at ease. She was very caring and patient esp to our Chi-mix as he has separation anxiety. Thank you Anna for taking care of our boys! It's a bonus is that she has a clean house, indoor dog room for when pups needs to rest, and a nice backyard. We highly recommend Anna...we love her!”
“We absolutely love Brittany!! We know our fur baby is in great hands with her. We will definitely use her again! Thanks Brittany for taking care of our baby!”
“Every time Sofiya and her family watch Koda, I know he is in good hands and has the best time. Her updates are timely and include pictures and the fun things he gets up to with the other dogs. I have already rebooked her for my next trip out of town.”
“Ezra took great care of our dog, Hayes! We were hesitant to use someone new, especially over the holidays but she gave us the peace of mind we needed. She gave us regular updates about him every day and let us know how he was doing with the other dogs. Hayes had such a great stay and made new friends! We will definitely be booking with Ezra again in the future!”
“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!”
“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.”
