“Leah’s has become our little Poppy’s second home. 🥹 She gets excited when we pack up her crate because she knows she’ll get to enjoy and play with the other dogs in Leah’s care. We know this is a paid service so it’s only right that Leah and her family took good care of Poppy, but they always went the extra mile for her and made her feel at home. (We can tell by the pics of her lounging in beds that aren’t hers 😂) We’re also so thankful of how easy it is to modify bookings when we had last-minute changes due to travel delays/changes. Thank you, Leah and family!! 💖 We couldn’t have asked for better caretakers for our Poppy! 😊🫶”
“We had a wonderful experience with her watching our dog, Tuantuan, this past weekend! From the initial meet-and-greet, we knew Tuantuan would be in great hands. She was incredibly welcoming and clearly loves dogs. She provided regular updates and photos, which put our minds at ease. We could tell Tuantuan was having a blast playing in her home and yard and getting lots of attention. We really appreciated that she was flexible with our pick-up time. Tuantuan came home happy and tired, which is the best sign of a great stay! We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to other dog owners.”
“I cannot recommend Selena highly enough! Leaving my dog with her was the best decision I made. She is a wonderful, experienced woman who treats every dog as if they are part of her own family. My pup came home happy, calm, and clearly well-loved. She provided constant, loving attention and even sent me pictures while I was away. It is so rare to find someone with such genuine passion, patience, and compassion for animals. If you want peace of mind, this is the place”
“Steven is the right choice for our Comet, he definitely took care of his needs and I never heard any complaints or concerns. We felt that he genuinely care for him. He definitely made us feel at ease while we were away from Comet. He updated us with pictures and videos as well. Comet felt at home with Steven. We will definitely book with him again in the future.”
“Galina and Aleksei was great with our boy. He had a minor incident prior to his stay and Galina was so attentive to his meds. Loved the photos they sent to us during his stay and I can tell Ziggy really likes them. He watched them as they walked away when we picked him up lol.”
“Christopher and Maria took such good care of our dog while we were away on a six day trip. We had daily messages, updates and photos. Wicket came back, clean, exhausted, and happy. When he had a little itchy spot, they took care of it. When he wasn't eating well, they took care of it. We didn't have to worry one bit while we were away.”
“We used Yan for our ShihTzu for the second time and once again, she took good care of him. Daily updates are nice. We are very happy with the care he receives from Yan. We will be using Yan in the future.”
“Stefania always takes such good care of our dog, Banjo! She sends us so many pictures throughout the day so we always know how he is doing. She even took him hiking! We always feel at ease going out of town when Stefania is taking care of Banjo.”
“Ghazal is super responsive, gives a lot of attention to my dog, and provides the right care to her. She sent a lot of photos and I can definitely see that my dog is spending a great time with her! I will highly recommend her and rebook again :)”

“Queenie and Yu took amazing care of my dog! After two weeks of boarding, he came home happy, healthy, and clearly well loved. I really appreciate the care and attention they gave him, and I would definitely trust them with him again.”
“Shreeja and her husband are awesome. They took great care of Shiro. He felt like home with her. He got cuddled, belly rubs, walks, played fetch and what not. Shiro was picky eater and she was very kind to hand feed him. She shared Shiro's updates in photos and videos every few hours that made me not feel anxious throughout my 8 days trip. Thank you soo much for taking care and loving him. Would definitely leave Shiro with her the next time we are out of town. I recommend Shreeja 1000%”
“Anlin provided excellent care for Maurice. They are attentive and reassuring as Maurice settled into his new surroundings. Maurice warmed up to them quickly, which says a lot about how comfortable and safe Anlin made him feel.”
“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!!”
“Soyoung took great care of Merry! It was my first time having someone take care of my dog. Soyoung's family was very welcoming and loving. I was able to enjoy my trip without worrying about my dog at all.”
“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!❤️🐶”
“Summer stayed with Dawn and Mel for about 1.5 months, and we’re so grateful we found them. They took such great care of her and made her feel right at home. We especially appreciated all the updates, photos, and videos—it really gave us peace of mind and we loved seeing how she was doing. She looked so happy and relaxed the entire time. You can tell they genuinely care. We’d absolutely trust them with Summer again and highly recommend them. 🐶❤️”

“Zihan is incredible! She did drop-in visits on my cat for the holidays and I am so happy with how well she cared for him. She is detail oriented and very responsive, which puts me at ease. I have a complex meal recipe for him with some food toppings and to add to that, I also use two wet auto-feeders. She filled both perfectly and would send me photos of how the meal was prepared each visit. She also kept the pine pellet litter box clean and tidy and gave me updates on his litter box movements which I really appreciated as that’s something I am keeping track of. Overall, I had an excellent experience with Zihan and I highly recommend booking!”
“Qianwen was wonderful with my cat. She is extremely responsible, punctual, and organized, and I really appreciated that she thoughtfully considered what would be best for my cat. Communication with her was always smooth; she was patient, very responsive, and even reminded us ahead of time when the wet food was running low and helped organize everything. Most importantly, my cat really liked her and was happy to play with her. Since she also lives in the same community, it was super convenient. I’d definitely love to book with her again!”
“Stephen was absolutely amazing with my cat ! I booked Stephen last minute for 6 days . I am glad he was available. I could not have found a better sitter for my cat. He made sure to feed and refill my cat’s food and water while I was gone. He sent tons of pictures and very responsible in communicating with me over the Rover app! He checked in timely and was extremely professional, he spent a lot of time playing with my cat! I will definitely book him again”
“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!”
“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.”
“I had a wonderful experience with Erjin and would highly recommend them. They were reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring toward my cats. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away.”
“Emily took the best care of our fur baby! She is kind and knowledgeable. She communicated often with updates and pictures throughout our trip which made us feel at ease. I highly recommend her :))”
“Li took fantastic care of my two cats! She sent daily updates with photos and information about the visit and was very proactive about checking that everything was as it should be. She worked well with the cats and got them to trust her and respond with affection despite being a new person to them. It is reassuring to have someone like Li taking care of them when I can't be there!”
“Yiwei and Yue were wonderful! They were very responsive and easy to work with. Yue took the time to meet Nimbo before our vacation. She took notice of Nimbo's mannerisms and was familiar with the types of litter and food that we had in the house. While Yue was visiting, she noticed that the automatic pet feeder was out of dry food so she took the time to make sure that it was refilled. Thank you again for watching over Nimbo!”
“Laurelle is so wonderful. She's a great communicator-- she sends me lots of photos, gives me updates on the apartment, and keeps me informed of anything I need to know while I'm gone. She's great with our cats-- our skittish cat has started coming out of his hiding place to play with her, which literally NEVER happens with anyone other than me or my husband. I love that I can count on Laurelle to take care of our babies while we're gone. Thank you, Laurelle!! <3”
About: I adopted my kitten, Sailor, 8 months ago, and he's inspired me to spend even more time with cats! I volunteer at an animal shelter, where I've cared for pets with all kinds of personalities. I'll tailor my care to help them feel safe, comfortable, and at home while you're away.
“We had a great experience with Hsuan-Chu. She took such good care of our cats and really spent time playing with them, which they loved. Clove is usually pretty shy and nervous around new people, but she actually felt comfortable with Hsuan-Chu and even warmed up to her, which meant a lot to us. Cumin also enjoyed spending time with her and clearly had a great time playing. Communication was easy, we always got thoughtful updates, and we could tell they were both happy and well cared for. We’d definitely book with her again.”
“I have asked Michelle to pet sit my kitty, Nugget, on multiple occasions and she will continue to be the first person I reach out to. Michelle is very communicative, always making sure i am receiving pictures of my sweet girl. I know that when Michelle watches her, that she will be fed, have a clean litter box and will receive all the love. I think the biggest indicator that Michelle is great with my cat, is that Nugget absolutely loves her. It’s so wonderful having a pet sitter that I can trust. Thank you Michelle!”
About: Cats can be playful explorers or quiet snugglers, and I love caring for both. I have experience with kittens as well as adult cats and always make sure their needs are met with patience and care. I take pride in keeping litter boxes spotless, food and water fresh, and your cat’s routine consistent. I pay close attention to the little things — brushing, keeping favorite toys nearby, and ensuring they always feel safe and comfortable. I can also help with baths (for cats who are used to it), nail trimming, and gentle coat care.
About: I've had cats since childhood, from energetic kittens to elderly ones requiring daily medication. I enjoy playing and cuddling with them and would love to provide that attention while you're away.

“Ghazal was very caring with my dog, she took great care of her and we couldn’t be happier. She was very puntual and responded quickly all the time. I would totally recommend her.”
“Steve and his partner (fiancée!) are wonderful pet-sitters, super friendly to work with, and highly communicative. They happily accommodated a last-minute stay for Brady as a new client, which was so appreciated. When I picked up Brady, she was happy, not stressed, and clean :) We will definitely be back—thanks so much!”
“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.”
“Erika is best with our puppy. She gives her a lot of attention and care. She updates frequently so it's easy to know how the days been going. I really appreciate the extra tips and tricks she shares during dropoff and pickup to keep helping our pup learn and train.”
“I’ve tried several dog daycares and sitters, but Gunyung is truly the BEST dog lover I’ve ever met! My dog is quite picky with people, yet by the second time, he was already running toward her and trying to jump into her arms.😂 She takes my dog on picnics, parks, and even brings him to her friends’ dogs’ birthday party 🥳. Seeing my dog in the photos she shared, it was the happiest I’ve ever seen him! Gunyung is calm, trustworthy, and genuinely cares about the dog she looks after. I feel incredibly lucky to have found her, and I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation.👍🙏”
“Grace is such an attentive and caring daycare provider for my dog. She's very communicative and made sure Arya was well cared for. Thank you so much for all you do!”
“Brian and Emi helped Mochi felt comfortable by playing with him since it was his first time there. Teddy is adorable and is nice to share all his toys, especially his glow in the dark ball. He was sleeping in a car on our way home. Must be be tired from a fun day. 😊”
“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.”
“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.”

About: I’ve had pets for as long as I can remember, so caring for animals has always been part of my everyday life. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and look after their pets while they’re away. So being around animals has always been a natural and joyful part of my life. I truly enjoy their company and the unique personality each one brings. Over the years I’ve cared for dogs of many breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m patient with energetic puppies, attentive to routines, and gentle with senior dogs who need a calmer pace and extra care. What sets me apart is the attention I give each pet. I take the time to understand their personality, comfort level, and daily routine so they feel relaxed and safe. Whether that means active walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I adapt to what makes each dog happiest. As a pet owner myself, I completely understand the responsibility that comes with caring for someone’s pet. I know how important it is to be attentive, observant of their behavior, and communicative with owners so they feel confident and at ease while they’re away. My goal is simple: to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved, while giving you peace of mind through attentive care and regular updates.

Why pet owners trust me As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone who is responsible, observant, and caring. Always do my best to give you peace of mind while making sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved.
“Xin was friendly, responsive, and kept me updated throughout the stay, which gave me peace of mind. My pet seemed comfortable and well cared for, and everything went smoothly. I would be happy to book with her again in the future.”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for my own Samoyed, which has given me a strong understanding of large-breed dogs, their energy levels, grooming needs, and daily routines. In addition to Samoyeds, I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds, as well as cats. What sets me apart is my patience, attentiveness, and ability to follow care instructions closely. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, habits, and comfort level, whether that means energetic walks, gentle playtime, or simply providing calm companionship. I also help reinforce basic routines such as leash manners, feeding schedules, potty breaks, and medication if needed. Since I work part-time, I have a flexible schedule and can give pets the time and attention they deserve. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their safety and well-being. I work part-time as a dental assistant, which gives me a flexible and predictable schedule. This allows me to plan pet care visits, walks, and check-ins thoughtfully throughout my day and week. I only accept bookings that I can fully commit to, so pets always receive attentive, unrushed care. Pet care fits comfortably into my routine, and I genuinely enjoy spending my free time caring for dogs and cats. I care for pets with a focus on safety, trust, and comfort. Whether in the pet’s home or during visits, I follow your instructions carefully, ensure the environment is secure, and supervise pets at all times. I pay attention to each animal’s needs and personality, providing food, water, playtime, or rest as appropriate. I also send updates to keep owners informed and reassured.
“Akshata and her husband were great! They took good care of our Lola and provided plenty of pictures and videos. They were very flexible and accommodating. Lolita can be a handful at times since she is still in the early days of training but they took her on with patience and care. We highly appreciate their work and we will definitely be booking with them again :)”
“Ashita was amazing with our boys and I can’t recommend her enough! She took such wonderful care of them for the day in her home and made them feel so comfortable. It was their first time meeting her and our older dog gets a little anxious, but within minutes he was running around her backyard and was so happy. You can tell she loves animals and was so caring and loving toward them. They can’t wait to go back again tomorrow and see her and play with her two dogs and the other guest doggies. Thanks again Ashita for taking such good care of our little guys and helped us have a worry free day. 😊”
“Dawn took care of our puppy and she did an amazing job. Our little yorkie had an amazing time and Dawn kept us updated with photos and videos. She is an awesome person to take care of your dog. We look forward to requesting her day care services again soon.”
“Anna took care of my 6 month old pup in daycare for the 1st time! While my pup was a bit shy, Anna was a great communicator throughout our experience. She actively sent updates and also agreed for a meet and greet as it was my pup’s first time at a daycare. Anna has outdoor space including a pool if your dog loves water.”
About: I have taken care of pets for my family and friends like my own. I have experience in pet sitting medium size dogs. I board only one pet at a time to make sure they get quality care and full attention. I’m currently a working professional from home mostly. I can take care of pets given a prior notice.

About: With over 18 years of continuous, deep experience, beginning with my 3-4kg Toy Poodle, I offer a level of meticulous, expert care that applies to all small dogs (not just seniors) who require medical proficiency and detailed attention. My extensive background in managing demanding needs—including post-surgical recovery, specialized diets, medication administration, and hands-on patellar luxation rehabilitation—has honed my ability to quickly spot and document even the slightest change in a dog’s condition, providing peace of mind to owners of any age dog. In addition to this high-level attentiveness, I maintain an exceptionally clean and sanitary home environment for maximum comfort and health. While introverted, I am an active person who loves outdoor exercise, ensuring your dog receives both stimulating play and consistent, compassionate care, a commitment proven by my successful fostering placements in both Korea and the U.S. As a current student and full-time homemaker, I have the ample time and energy necessary to dedicate to your dog's care. My university schedule is highly flexible, consisting of morning classes only, four days a week (Monday through Thursday). This means I am generally available for dog pick-ups and care starting from lunchtime onward. For urgent needs, I can often coordinate an earlier morning pick-up. Furthermore, from mid-December, my weekday morning schedule will also be completely free. Overall, I am able to devote my entire weekday afternoons and all weekend hours to ensuring your dog receives consistent attention, exercise, and companionship. Although I live in an apartment without a private yard, our neighborhood boasts a large, well-maintained complex with extensive green spaces and public parks, creating a highly pet-friendly atmosphere where many residents enjoy peaceful walks. I am fully committed to customizing the frequency and duration of walks to match your dog's specific needs and routine. Regarding the home environment, I take pride in maintaining an exceptionally high standard of cleanliness: I conduct a thorough deep cleaning of my entire apartment at least every two weeks. This diligent management of the living space ensures a safe, sanitary, and clutter-free environment, meaning you never have to worry about your dog picking up or ingesting anything harmful.

“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’m not just a sitter. I’m a dog lover who treats every pup like family. I’ve been caring for dogs my entire life. From puppyhood to senior pups, I have a lot of experience tailoring my care according to each dog’s personality, needs, and comfort zone.Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or couch snuggles, I focus on creating routines that keep dogs engaged, healthy, and stress free. Over the years, I’ve gained experience helping dogs with separation anxiety, minor reactivity, and special medical needs (limited to administering oral and injectable medications). Open communication with pet parents is a priority for me. I provide frequent updates, including photos and videos, so you can see how your dog is doing. In order to dedicate myself completely to your pet’s care, play, and comfort, I only accept one dog at a time. However, for everyone’s comfort, I request that visiting pups get along with other dogs since my own dog, Bentley, will be part of their visit. As a full-time homemaker and dog mom, I am home all day and able to provide consistent, attentive care. Your dog will have my full attention for walks, playtime, rest, and anything else they need throughout the day. I don’t have a fenced yard, but I love taking dogs to trails and parks nearby for exercise, fun, and potty breaks. They can relax in a crate or snuggle with me on the couch/bed. Fresh filtered water is always available and treats are given as allowed.
“Quianwen was absolutely amazing. Flexible, understanding, and incredibly caring throughout the entire experience. She followed all of the instructions carefully and was so kind, supportive, and loving with Shakti, which gave me so much peace of mind. She’s also such a relatable and easy person to communicate with. I would 100% use her services again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”
About: I am a lifelong lover and owner of pets with over 25 years of experience. Having had companions, including several dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, and even a rabbit, I have a knack and love for caring for and playing with animals. I am a current fur dad as well to an Australian Shepherd and a rambunctious little Seal Point Bengal. By the way, if your dog isn’t prey driven, I don’t mind rollerblading them and helping them to get some exercise if that is an option! All of what I make here by the way is going towards my MBA degree at USC and continuous veterinary bills for my dog with prescriptions and dietary restrictions. Pet care occupies my time outside of my day job and it gives me an excuse to get outside, provides possibilities of having some company and socialization for my dog (she does especially well with puppies), and other opportunities to get out and be the excitement in or exercise opportunity for a fur baby or fur babies outside of my own. I usually give the animal space and time to feel me out, as well as the environment if they are in my home. I know that not all animals warm up right away and that it may take several visits for the animal to become comfortable with me - I am patient and perfectly fine with this.
About: Hi! I’m a psychology graduate student and lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, and other small pets.

I'm available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I'm happy to work with your pet's routine whenever possible. I always follow your instructions closely and maintain your pet’s normal routine to help them feel secure while you're away. I provide care in your home, where your pet is most comfortable in their familiar environment.
About: I provide reliable, attentive, and loving pet care tailored to each pet’s personality and routine. Services can include walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and overnight care depending on your needs. I’m especially patient with shy pets and senior pets who benefit from a calm, consistent environment. I have experience caring for pets for friends and family as well as my own throughout my childhood and adult and understand how important it is for owners to feel their pets are safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. I also provide regular photo updates and clear communication for peace of mind.

I work remote so my schedule is flexible. I’m looking for a friendly dog(s) to take to go on walks and jogs in safe environments. Would take them on walks and jogs and spend time with them in safe, pedestrian friendly areas that are local. I’m a Bay Area native and have raised two dogs of my own here so am familiar.
About: I have 7 yrs experience with dog. My 8yrs old daughter loves pets and pets love her. She is very warm hearted and gentle with pets.

Our schedule is very flexible. It can be discussed. I’m working from home. And most weekends are free as well. Contact me for more information.

About: Hi! I’m Angelika, and I absolutely love spending time with animals of all kinds. I’ve loved animals my whole life. Growing up, our family home was full of pets, from rodents like mice, guinea pigs, rats, and hamsters, to rabbits, cats, turtles, parrots, and a dog I adored who passed away three years ago. I’ve walked and cared for dogs and cats since childhood, including helping my grandmother and neighbors with their pets, walking them and spending time with them whenever needed. Right now I don’t have a pet of my own because I’m traveling, but I’d love to help care for other people’s furry friends. I’m responsible, attentive, and I love spending time with animals. I enjoy walking them, playing with them, and making sure they feel safe and happy. I can’t wait to meet your pets and give them lots of love while you’re away! I am currently staying at my relatives’ house looking for a job and have plenty of free time, so I’m available to take care of your pets anytime! 😊 I make sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved in their own home. I follow the owner’s instructions, give plenty of attention, play, and walks, and keep everything clean and secure.
“I had such a great experience working with Grace! She’s very confident and educated. I never had to worry about leaving Jake in her care. I always got a lot of updates and she pays attention to detail. You can trust your pet will be safe and taken care of.”
“Dawn was absolutely amazing with my girls. They took to her immediately during our meet and greet and loved being with her. I truly enjoyed the pictures and video updates and especially love how my cat took to her also. I will definitely check to see if she is available for any time that I will be traveling and in need of help. Thank you so much Dawn! XOXO Enzi and Annie 💜”
“Darnelle was amazing!! I had to leave for the weekend urgently and Darnelle kindly agreed to walk him at the last minute. She was always on point, and was patient with directions to enter the building. She went above and beyond to make sure my dog Benji was comfortable and walked him for ample time on both days! Even though my dog isn’t very friendly with new people, he warmed up to her quickly and went on walks without any hassle. Would definitely recommend her for all your doggy care needs! She is the best”
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’ve had pets for as long as I can remember, so caring for animals has always been part of my everyday life. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and look after their pets while they’re away. So being around animals has always been a natural and joyful part of my life. I truly enjoy their company and the unique personality each one brings. Over the years I’ve cared for dogs of many breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m patient with energetic puppies, attentive to routines, and gentle with senior dogs who need a calmer pace and extra care. What sets me apart is the attention I give each pet. I take the time to understand their personality, comfort level, and daily routine so they feel relaxed and safe. Whether that means active walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I adapt to what makes each dog happiest. As a pet owner myself, I completely understand the responsibility that comes with caring for someone’s pet. I know how important it is to be attentive, observant of their behavior, and communicative with owners so they feel confident and at ease while they’re away. My goal is simple: to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved, while giving you peace of mind through attentive care and regular updates. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my priority. When they’re with me, you can expect: Attentive care: I pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, and routines so pets feel safe and understood. Playtime & exercise: Walks and interaction tailored to your dog’s personality and energy level. Patience & calm care: Gentle with senior dogs and patient with younger or more energetic pups. Reliable communication: Regular photo and message updates so you know how your pet is doing. Loving companionship: I truly enjoy animals’ company and treat every pet like family. Why pet owners trust me As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone who is responsible, observant, and caring. Always do my best to give you peace of mind while making sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved.
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.
About: I might not have much pet sitting experience, but occasionally, I take care of my friends dog at his apartment. It’s very relaxing and rewarding. I think it would be very satisfying to take care of other people’s pets to get more experience with responsibility and life. I am available between Monday to Friday around late afternoon or evening. Nighttime as well. Just let me know ahead of time if you have any questions. Thank you. I’ll keep a good eye on your pet. I’ll hangout with them so they won’t get lonely. Or play with them. I’ll make sure to follow the list of feeding them at a certain time and putting them to sleep.

“Christopher and Maria took such good care of our dog while we were away on a six day trip. We had daily messages, updates and photos. Wicket came back, clean, exhausted, and happy. When he had a little itchy spot, they took care of it. When he wasn't eating well, they took care of it. We didn't have to worry one bit while we were away.”
“Stefania always takes such good care of our dog, Banjo! She sends us so many pictures throughout the day so we always know how he is doing. She even took him hiking! We always feel at ease going out of town when Stefania is taking care of Banjo.”
“Ghazal is super responsive, gives a lot of attention to my dog, and provides the right care to her. She sent a lot of photos and I can definitely see that my dog is spending a great time with her! I will highly recommend her and rebook again :)”

“Shreeja and her husband are awesome. They took great care of Shiro. He felt like home with her. He got cuddled, belly rubs, walks, played fetch and what not. Shiro was picky eater and she was very kind to hand feed him. She shared Shiro's updates in photos and videos every few hours that made me not feel anxious throughout my 8 days trip. Thank you soo much for taking care and loving him. Would definitely leave Shiro with her the next time we are out of town. I recommend Shreeja 1000%”
“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!!”
“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.”
“Rachel and her family kept Josie for me recently. I was very happy they were able to accommodate her with minimal notice. I was also very happy with how in the loop I felt about Josie's stay. She was taken on several walks, got cuddle time in with the family, and I was given alot of picture updates. It was overall a great experience. Would definitely book with them again! Thank you Rachel and family! ♥️”
“Akshata took wonderful care of Tehya while we were away. She kept us at ease with constant text and video updates. In just three days, they formed such a sweet bond, it was heartwarming to see. It gave us real peace of mind knowing Tehya was being so well looked after. We’d happily trust Akshata again!”
“It’s such a relief knowing that Ollie is being so well loved and cared for while we’re away. Thank you again, Melissa and Tommy, we really appreciate you!”
About: I’ve been a proud dog and cat mom for over 17 years and have cared for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Right now, I have a sweet 6 year old husky and a 15 year old cat who are truly part of my family. Friends and family have always trusted me to care for their fur babies because they know I’ll love and care for them like my own. I’m not your typical pet sitter — your pets are welcome on the furniture, can snuggle up in bed, and will be treated with patience, affection, and lots of attention. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. As a pet parent who has personally used Rover for the past 6 years, I understand how important trust, communication, and peace of mind are when leaving your babies with someone else. I have very high standards when it comes to pet care, so I make it a priority to keep parents updated throughout the day with photos, videos, and regular check-ins so you always know your fur baby is happy and in great hands. I work a hybrid schedule at a pet-friendly office, which gives me flexibility and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. If your pup experiences separation anxiety, I can even bring them along with me for extra companionship and care. I also live near multiple dog parks, so your pup will have plenty of opportunities for walks, fresh air, playtime, and fun adventures throughout the day. You can trust that I’ll follow your instructions closely and care for your pets as if they were my own. A typical day with me includes lots of TLC, playtime, walks every couple of hours, cuddles, enrichment, and fun little adventures. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel loved, comfortable, and right at home.
“Matthew was very responsible and communicative. He provided many photo updates of our pup enjoying her stay, and flawlessly followed care instructions around medication, walking and feeding.”
“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.”
“Lana was an absolute godsend as a caregiver for both a 4-night boarding stay and doggie daycare. Our pup came home happy, tired, and well-fed — a wonderful sign, since he rarely eats well when away from home. Lana kept us updated with thoughtful messages and adorable photos, which gave us great peace of mind. She’s not only a skilled and caring sitter, but also an excellent communicator. Highly recommend!”
“Iggy had a wonderful time at Michael’s. Before booking and throughout the process, Michael was very effective and prompt in our communication. After meeting Michael at the meeet and greet, we decided to proceed. Michael and Kris took great care of Iggy during his 4 night stay. Michael sent us updates and when my partner picked up Iggy, he could tell that Iggy had been well taken care of and come to love it there as well. Thank you for taking care of our baby!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for my own Samoyed, which has given me a strong understanding of large-breed dogs, their energy levels, grooming needs, and daily routines. In addition to Samoyeds, I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds, as well as cats. What sets me apart is my patience, attentiveness, and ability to follow care instructions closely. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, habits, and comfort level, whether that means energetic walks, gentle playtime, or simply providing calm companionship. I also help reinforce basic routines such as leash manners, feeding schedules, potty breaks, and medication if needed. Since I work part-time, I have a flexible schedule and can give pets the time and attention they deserve. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their safety and well-being. I work part-time as a dental assistant, which gives me a flexible and predictable schedule. This allows me to plan pet care visits, walks, and check-ins thoughtfully throughout my day and week. I only accept bookings that I can fully commit to, so pets always receive attentive, unrushed care. Pet care fits comfortably into my routine, and I genuinely enjoy spending my free time caring for dogs and cats. I care for pets with a focus on safety, trust, and comfort. Whether in the pet’s home or during visits, I follow your instructions carefully, ensure the environment is secure, and supervise pets at all times. I pay attention to each animal’s needs and personality, providing food, water, playtime, or rest as appropriate. I also send updates to keep owners informed and reassured.
“Highly recommend! Qi was fantastic with my dogs. I received regular updates and photos, which made me feel so much better while I was away. They clearly love animals and took great care of everything. I will definitely be booking with them again!”
“A very good experience! Yifei loves dog and took very good care of snowflake. She is also very responsive and sends us photos daily. We really appreciate that she was flexible and accommodating our travel schedule.”
