“Leah is a wonderful sitter for Leo. I booked her last minute appointment but she was great at following instructions! She sent updates (pictures & videos) of Leo. She even sent an inventory of Leo’s stuff before pick up. Thank you Leah Leo had fun!”
“Steven will definitely be my go-to sitter in the Bay! He went all out for my border collie mix, even though her needs are very different than his 2 dogs. Highly recommend, thanks again Steven!!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Selena was amazing with Mathilde! Mathilde almost always has anxiety and can't eat much during her first couple of boarding days but with Selena she ate every day and was calm and had fun.”
“Sesame has stayed with Galina and Aleksei multiple times and she absolutely loves being with them. They have become our go-to sitter for when we’re away on long trips. Sesame gets so much attention and adventures when she’s with them and we get peace of mind knowing that she’s well cared for. I especially appreciate the daily picture updates and communication/flexibility around pickups and drop offs. Thanks again, Galina and Aleksei for taking such good care of Sesame!”
“Joyce and her family took care of our senior dog over the holidays and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Our dog is blind and is usually fearful of new encounters, but when he met Joyce's family, he warmed up immediately to them and was jumping and licking their faces - something we rarely see! Her communication was great and provided regular photos and updates. She followed all our instructions carefully and even gave him multiple walks throughout the day. We would highly recommend Joyce to anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
“Yan took really good care of our cat. She was able to do pick up and drop off, and was flexible with the timings. I really appreciate that she sent daily updates and photos, which allowed us to have peace of mind while we were away. Will book again!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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 :)”
“We are grateful to have found Queenie and Yu-Chieh to look after Pako. We received regular updates and photos during his stay. Pako warmed up to Queenie, Yu-Chieh and Summer fairly quickly and settled in comfortably from day 1. Thanks for taking such great care of Pako!!”

“First time to board our dog and Shreeja was exceptional. Very communicative and gives me update everyday morning and night on how my dog is doing. My dog got so comfortable with Shreeja right away, she treated my dog like her own. She also managed to walk my dog morning and night even when my dog has bad anxiety when he is out. I definitely would bring my dog back to Shreeja if I need to be out of town again. Thank you so much Shreeja for everything!”
“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.”
“She has been very supportive and my dog was very well taken care of. She made sure she shared all the videos and photos every single day. It was great stay for my dog.”
“This was our first time that we traveled without our 1.5-year-old puppy, Maple. This time, we made a big decision to trust someone else with Maple’s care. We were anxious about what sitter we might get. Fortunately, we picked an amazing sitter (Yoona & Minjae) that had cared for Maple with flying colors. Before the trip, Maple had a case of diarrhea, but Yoona & Minjae had carefully adjusted her diet and provided the right balance of exercise and rest making her much healthier and stronger than before. Buddy, Yoona & Minjae’s dog had seemed to keep her happy and emotionally settled. Yoona & Minjae was very professional, knowledgable, and diligent. From beginning to end, they kept in touch with us by updating us with photos and thoughtful responses on how she was doing. we were able to enjoy our trip completely at ease, knowing Maple was in the right hands. It’s hard to fully express in words how grateful we are❤️. I’m confident that if you too trust them with your dog that you’ll feel the same way.”
“Li-Ting was absolutely wonderful! I felt totally at ease knowing my pup was in great hands! she sent lots of photos and frequent updates, was super attentive, and my dog had the BEST time with her. We can’t wait to book with her again!”

“Zihan did an excellent job of checking in on my cat while I was out of town for over a week. I appreciated the updates and pictures she provided each day and her attention to detail. She went above and beyond with keeping everything clean and perfect for when I came back.”
“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!”
“Qianwen did an amazing job taking care of my cats over the weekend! Super appreciative for the last minute help and affectionate care while I was away. The cats were super happy when I got back and I loved all the crazy pictures and angles of them I got sent! Thank you!!”
“We were extremely happy with Yifei’s care. We entrusted our 16-year-old cat to her for five days. Due to our cat’s health condition, he needed liquid gabapentin administered by syringe into his mouth, and she handled this responsibility wonderfully. When we returned home from our trip, it was clear that everything had been done exactly as we had requested, and our cat was calm, comfortable, and happy. Normally, after we come back from a vacation, he is stressed and has usually lost some weight. This time, however, he was relaxed, content, and had maintained his weight perfectly. It was obvious that he had a great time with his sitter. In fact, before we arrived home, I checked the camera and saw him waiting by the door, most likely expecting her to come. We would absolutely love to work with her again. If you’re reading this review, don’t hesitate for a second—reach out to her directly. We couldn’t be happier with our experience. Thank you so much”
“Erjin did an amazing job caring for our cat. Our cat is usually very shy, but warmed up to him almost immediately the first time they met. He is incredibly caring, attentive, and great with animals. We felt completely at ease while we were away knowing our cat was comfortable and well cared for. We would highly recommend Erjin!”
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.
“Suzanne was spectacular with our cat. She ensured he had his meds every day, gave him cuddles and pets, and sent updates after each visit. She went above and beyond by bringing in an unexpected flower delivery, a package, and even our mail. We will definitely book her again!”
“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!”
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.
“Xi was great. She followed the instructions to the T and also helped out with when Tintin got sick. She is punctual, responsive and very easy to work with. Thanks Xi for taking such good care of Tintin!”
“Amanda is an amazing cat sitter. So knowledgeable about cats, and knows how to behave around them so that they are comfortable. She went above and beyond what I’ve asked of her, and I would trust her to look after my kitties again. I got timely, consistent, and informative updates while I was away, and am grateful for the time and attention given to my cats.”

“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.👍🙏”
“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. 😊”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.

I take the time to understand their personality, comfort level, and daily routine so they feel relaxed and safe.

“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 :)”
“I had my dog Winston over for about two weeks of daycare. Lana was great! Super friendly and gave me plenty of pics and updates. Would happily message her again if I ever need someone to watch my pup”
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. I can take them for a walk. I have a fenced apartment. I stay at home most of the time and will make sure to take care of your pet. There’s a big park in my community so going out for a walk is not an issue
“This is our 2nd booking with Stefania. She dog sat Hazel for ~7 hours. She took her on 2 dog walks and sent me photos throughout the time she had her. Stefania is timely with communicating. She is a very kind person and is a great dog sitter that is able to manage Hazels anxiety and takes great care of Hazel. I would love to rebook with her again.”
“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”
About: Hi, I’m a lifelong pet lover and proud dog parent to an amazing mixed-breed pup! Most recently, I have been fostering pups of all sizes and ages with the Humane Society in my area. I’ve been around animals my whole life and know just how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. When your dog stays with me, they’re treated like part of the family. I offer a safe, calm, and pet-friendly home with people (and a pup!) who truly enjoy the company of animals. Whether it’s a walk around the neighborhood, some playtime, or a cozy overnight stay, I aim to make your pet feel at ease and cared for. I am available full time to work with your schedule. My commitments are brief and I can flex around the needs of the pets in my care. I have a multi story home with lvp flooring that is very pet friendly. Your fur baby will have to climb 8 stairs (or I can assist them) to get to the main floor which is where we will hang out. I also have an enclosed patio, but most of our outdoor time will be outside at the park right next to my home.

“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!”
“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: 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.

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.
“Suz was so great! Super quick to respond, kept me updated and provided tons of photos - our pup was so happy with her walk. Will be connecting with her again for another walk - and would highly recommend!”
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.
“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”
“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 💜”
“Grace did a wonderful job looking after our golden retriever 3x a day. She was attentive to his needs, and quick to respond whenever we messaged her while on our trip. Updates were given on every walk that included photos/videos. I highly recommend her services!”
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. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to spend quality time with pets throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I take pride in being dependable, clean, communicative, and creating a stress-free experience for both pets and owners. I live in a safe and quiet neighborhood. 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.
“Xi was one of the best dog walkers would could have asked for. She was kind, considerate and sent the best update photos of our pets while we were away. She very clearly loves animals and the next time we need a dog walker she will be a top choice.”
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.
“My pup and I are SO THANKFUL for Samantha!!! She is trustworthy, punctual and really tuckers out my pup. My mind is at ease knowing Samantha is out with Waffle while I’m at work and my life is less stressful due to her doggy diligence. Thanks, Samantha!”

“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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 :)”
About: I have grown up surrounded by furry friends. Having shared a decade with beloved canine companions, I plan to unite my passion and expertise to create a haven for your pets. Ensuring a home filled with love, playfulness, endless cuddles, and the comforts they deserve. I work from home and am available to attend the needs of your pets. Rest be assured that your dog’s time will be filled with active walks, fun play, regular feeding to ensure a balanced routine. I plan to stick to the personalized care you provide your pets so that they don’t feel like they are too far away from home. Additionally, have a designated lawn area for play and rest!
“First time to board our dog and Shreeja was exceptional. Very communicative and gives me update everyday morning and night on how my dog is doing. My dog got so comfortable with Shreeja right away, she treated my dog like her own. She also managed to walk my dog morning and night even when my dog has bad anxiety when he is out. I definitely would bring my dog back to Shreeja if I need to be out of town again. Thank you so much Shreeja for everything!”
“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.”
“Excellent stay for Buzzo wher Rachel and Cory made us very assured of having him in their care. We got regular photos and videos, some of which were great clicks, got regular updates on the walk and other developments. They were flexible in pick up and drop both.”
“10/10 Recommend! Sofiya treated our fur baby Jakey like family. From the moment we had our meet and greet I knew she had a special relationship with animals and a safe caring environment to host. She made sure Jakey was loved, fed, cuddled and played with and was really great at sending photos throughout the day and kept me updated on how things were going. Jakey loved meeting the other pets in the house. When I asked Jakey if he enjoyed his time, he gave me the wink of approval ;). Your fur babies will be taken care of really well with Sofiya and her family, mine will be back soon for his second visit!”
“Matthew was absolutely amazing. We boarded our two cats with him, and they're normally very shy and a little anxious, but they took to him in no time. His communication was excellent, and we loved getting so many pictures and updates about the great time our cats were having with him. Highly recommend, Matthew! We will definitely be reaching back out in the future for more stays!”
“Excellent!!! Our Fur-child Zoe was absolutely at home with Melissa & Hyun Dong . They are definitely two genuine animal lovers who they go out of their way to provide excellent care , comfort & lots of love to our fur-kids. Zoe was absolutely comfortable and very happy and thoroughly pampered by Melissa & Hyun Dong. We are absolutely delighted to have found our Zoe’s second home away from home with Melissa & Hyun Dong. Thank you.”
“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.”
“Our dog has stayed with Lana twice now. He is always very excited to see her and looks like he is having a great time. He gets daily walks and love and we get multiple photos a day letting us know he’s doing great. We love Lana and will certainly be booking with her again in the future!”
“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!”
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.
“Molly had a great time staying with Michael. She was well taken care of. We met Michael for a meet and greet ahead of her stay and he made sure to get as much information about Molly as possible to ensure she was going to be comfortable with them. We got updates from Michael throughout her stay and were never worried about how she was doing. We will book with Michael again.”
About: 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!”
