“Rachel is a fantastic caregiver who is always friendly, super flexible, and incredibly trustworthy. Lola always comes back happy and tuckered out! Thanks, Rachel!”
“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!”
“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🐶”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
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.
“My foster dog Baby had a wonderful stay with Tanya and her daughter. Their home is basically doggy heaven, and Baby enjoyed the huge lawn and tons of love and care accordingly. Baby looks forward to her next visit!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”

“Zihan did an excellent job during this visit. Everything is beyond expectations. She helped with not only taking care of two cats, but also cleaning the mess. I really appreciate her help.”
“My Marina had a wonderful experience with Laurel. She was very loving and attentive, and made sure I got wonderful updates and messages about Marina during my trip. I appreciate the effort she took to connect with Marina, and I could tell that Marina felt quite comfortable with her.”
“Suzanne did drop in visits for our kitty while we were out of town, and she did a fantastic job. She was super attentive during the meet and greet and clearly connected with our cat during the first introduction. Our cat was immediately at ease and comfortable with her. During the drop-ins, she showed up at the time scheduled, followed our feeding and litter box instructions to a T and sent cute photos and left great notes in the app. She also brought in a package for us, which we appreciate so much! She spent the full time that we scheduled with our cat, which we appreciated immensely. Also, this was my first time using Rover, and Suzanne really helped me through the process even when I didn’t know how to schedule multiple days and then didn’t realize I had to confirm the booking. Suzanne was patient and coached me through it. I wholeheartedly recommend her. She is reliable, personable, clearly has a way with animals and is so good with cats!”

About: I am the currently the owner of two highly active cats, one which I have raised since she was a kitten. Also, I have over 6 years of experience of raising several small sized dogs including puppies when I was a teenager. I am currently looking for employment so my weekly schedule is highly flexible. I can commit to pet care within a one day notice whether it be in the morning or evening. When I am pet sitting in your home, I will ensure that your pet gets my full attention and love. I will diligently follow any house rules imposed by the homeowner and clean up any messes that occur during my stay.
“I cannot recommend Dawn enough! From the moment we booked, communication was clear and consistent. Throughout the stay, she sent frequent updates and photos which gave me so much peace of mind. Boots immediately felt comfortable with her and was relaxed and happy when I returned. I will definitely book her again a second time.”
“Emily is an extraordinary cat sitter! She is great with my cat and willing to go the extra mile. My cat loves her and I could totally see myself rebooking. Highly recommended :))))”
“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.”
“Laurelle was a sitter for our cats for one week while my girl friend and I were on a vacation. She is a professional sitter who has both knowledge and experience of not only how to take care of cats but also how to become friends with them. We could tell from the photos that our cats enjoyed time with Laurelle even without us. When we come back, we find the cats healthy and happy. We trust Laurelle and will absolutely find her again in the future for our next vacations!”

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”
“Fuliang did a great job. I felt my cat Alba was well cared for. I got a nice detailed report on the last day. Could have used a picture of my cat everyday but otherwise I am a very satisfied customer and will use this sitter again for my pet sitting needs.”
“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.”
“I had such a great experience with Qianwen watching my cat. She was incredibly thorough and caring the entire time. She always showed up on time, kept everything clean, made sure he was fed and comfortable, and genuinely treated him like he was her own cat. She also sent so many pictures and videos, which honestly gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I could tell my cat was really well taken care of and getting lots of attention. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, thoughtful, and reliable to care for their pets :)”
About: My love for cats began in childhood when I spent time with the cats at my grandmother’s home, many of whom loved curling up on my lap for naps. Those early experiences taught me how special each cat’s personality can be — from affectionate cats who seek attention to more independent ones who prefer quiet companionship. I’m new to Rover, but I truly enjoy earning a cat’s trust and getting to know them at their own pace. I know many cats feel more comfortable with a calm and patient approach, especially when their family is away. I believe every cat deserves gentle, patient care, and I’ll follow your instructions carefully, pay attention to your cat’s routine and preferences, and share photos and updates so you can feel connected while you’re away.
About: I've been a passionate and dedicated pet caregiver for over 10 years, starting with my own family pets and expanding to offering professional sitting services. I prioritize a pet's comfort and safety, ensuring a stress-free and fun experience, whether through long walks, engaging playtime, or simply providing comforting cuddles. I structure my week to ensure consistent and high-quality care for every pet. I limit the number of bookings I take on simultaneously, allowing dedicated time for walks, feeding schedules, play, and individual attention, rather than trying to juggle too many commitments. I maintain a meticulously safe and pet-friendly environment. My home is completely puppy-proofed, secured with baby gates, and all hazardous items are stored away. I follow all pet parent instructions precisely, including feeding guidelines and medication administration. For in-client-home care, I focus on respecting the client's space while upholding the same high standard of safety and care, including securing external doors and being hyper-aware of the pet's familiar surroundings.

“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.”
“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.”
“If you're looking for a dog sitter who treats your pet like their own, look no further than Jie. She is my absolute hero when I'm on vacation. What stands out most is her genuine patience and thoughtful approach to my dog's needs. Her dog and mine are the best of friends, and it's clear they have so much fun together. She doesn't just stick to the basics of feeding and walking; she makes sure to dedicate time every single day to playing with him, which I know he loves. On top of all that, she sometimes cooks special food for Joey, which is a testament to her dedication. I am so grateful to have found someone so kind and caring to look after my doggy”
“Thanks a lot to Shreeja for taking excellent care of Jojo. She provided several updates during his stay which was comforting. More importantly, she made sure to know his schedule and ensured he is comfortable and well cared for. We will book again.”
About: I have experience with: 🐶 Puppies (potty routines & reinforcing basic training) 🐾 Senior dogs requiring patience and gentle handling 🦴 Special feeding schedules and dietary needs 🐕 Multi-dog households and safe introductions I have a secure fenced yard for supervised outdoor play and exercise. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I pay close attention to behavior, body language, and routines to ensure each dog feels secure and cared for. You’ll receive regular photo updates so you can feel confident and relaxed while you’re away. Your dog will be treated like one of my own — with patience, consistency, and genuine care. PPet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. Aside from quick errands like grocery runs, I dedicate my time to caring for pets, which allows me to be home for extended periods and provide consistent supervision, attention, and companionship. I’m available for boarding on weekends and most weekdays, and I’m flexible with drop-offs and pick-ups. Because I structure my schedule around pet care, your dog won’t be left alone for long stretches. I prioritize regular playtime, walks, feeding routines, and calm rest periods throughout the day. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and happily engaged while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, structured home environment with a secure fenced yard for safe, supervised outdoor play. All introductions are done slowly and carefully to ensure a positive experience, especially since I have had dogs and cats of my own from when I was a child and understand multi-pet dynamics. I closely monitor behavior, energy levels, and interactions at all times. Pets are never left unsupervised outside, and I follow each owner’s instructions carefully — including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and special routines. In a client’s home, I respect your space and maintain your pet’s normal routine to reduce stress. Cleanliness, communication, and consistent updates (with photos!) are part of my standard care. Your pet will be treated like family in a safe, attentive, and loving environment.
“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.”
“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.”
About: My husband and I have been dog sitting on a regular basis. We are comfortable with feeding routines, medication, walks and snuggles.

“Erika went above and beyond to take care of our high-energy puppy. She would send regular updates and photos throughout the day. Our puppy was super excited to go to Erika’s and loved playing with Bentley. Would definitely rebook with her. Thanks a lot!”
About: What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I have experience caring for pets of different ages and temperaments, including senior dogs who need extra attention and gentle care. I understand the importance of maintaining routines, providing medication when needed, and making sure pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. I’m attentive to details, communicate regularly with updates and photos, and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, or extra cuddles, I focus on giving each pet personalized care based on their needs. If your dog has energy to burn or a place to rest, my home and care is the place to be. I have fully open availability. I am constantly hanging out with our 20 lb poodle. She loves the company of other dogs. We just lost our other 18 year old poodle due to old age in March of 2026. We love walks, park, and relaxing. Or a nice car ride through Sunnyvale! I have a small fenced yard with 1 poodle to keep your dog company. My neighborhood we walk a few times through the day. Dogs welcomed in the home and furniture. I have extra beds, toys, bowls, treats, and leashes. We just want the space to feel like home for all the fur babies!
“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!”
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.

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.

“Eunsaem has been amazing with Coco- she took such good care of her, with so much love, care and attention. The daily pictures and videos were adorable and I could see how quickly Coco got attached to her -- wagging her tail in excitement at dropoff. Thank you so much!”
“Our dog Winnie took to Ruochen immediately. Winnie is normally hesitant around men, however Ruochen's confidence and warmth won over our American Bully. Ruochen is prompt, trustworthy, communicates well and sends pictures. We will definitely use him again.”

“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’ve been around dogs my whole life and have cared for two of my own—a Chihuahua and a Poodle—since I was little. From playful walks to cozy cuddle sessions, I truly enjoy spending quality time with dogs and getting to know their unique personalities. I’m experienced with small breeds, and I’m always patient, gentle, and attentive to their needs. Whether your pup is playful, shy, or a senior needing extra care, I’m here to help. Please don’t hesitate to reach out—I’d love to meet your furry friend! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I’m pretty much always available to give your pup the attention they need throughout the day—whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. I’m lucky to have a dog park right in my apartment complex for quick outings, and on weekends, I love visiting larger public dog parks for more space to play and explore. Your pet will always have plenty of activity, attention, and care with me! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or at a client’s, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. At my place, pets have a clean and cozy space to relax, regular potty breaks, and lots of playtime—plus easy access to the dog park in my apartment complex. I follow any routines or special instructions closely, including feeding, medications, or crate training. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect I would my own and make sure their pet sticks to their normal routine so they feel secure and stress-free. I always send regular updates and photos, so you can feel confident your furry friend is in good hands!

“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!”
“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!”
“Soyoung has been amazing at walking my dog, feed her a special homemade diet, and taking her out again. She’s been very thorough, follows my directions, and even offered to measure Rosie’s food portions to be accurate. I feel rest-assured with her knowing she’s in great hands! She also was patient when the leasing office was closed, and waited almost half an hour to retrieve keys to get into my apartment.”

“Darnelle was absolutely AMAZING!! She took such good care of my dog while I was away for the holiday. Was even flexible when my flight got delayed. I loved how she took extra care to make sure my dog was viable at night and she sent LOTS of pictures. Would 100% book with her again”
“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 💜”
“Qianwen did an amazing job. Our dog was very taken care of and she shared plenty of videos and pictures. She went above and beyond to make him comfortable. Cant wait to book her again.”
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: 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 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: 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 love animals and I have cared for pets for the past 12 years. i treat every pet like my family, making sure they feel safe, engaged and most importantly loved while you are away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine — and truly one of the best parts of my day! I structure my schedule to prioritize your pet’s needs, whether that’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddle time. I work from home (or have a flexible schedule, depending on your situation), which means your pet will have plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. I make sure every pet in my care gets regular exercise, bathroom breaks, playtime, and lots of love — just like they would with you. My routine is built around keeping pets happy, healthy, and relaxed, whether it's for a few hours or several days. I create a safe cozy space with plenty of play, routine walks at the park, snuggles and supervision. your pet will feel at home and happy
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!

“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Lana was absolutely amazing with our pups - from the first meet and greet and all through the stay. My pups are typically weary of new people, but they took to her instantly. She shared constant updates of how they were doing theought their stay with her. Huge thanks to Lana for taking such good care and we’ll certainly be seeing more of her :)”
“Nabil took wonderful care of Raisin for two days. It was Raisin’s first time staying away from home, so we were a little nervous, but Nabil and Sunny made her feel comfortable and safe. She quickly warmed up to them, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she was well cared for and treated with kindness. We truly appreciated the updates and the loving care Raisin received. I would highly recommend Nabil to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter!”
“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.”
“We left our dog, Brody, with Anlin for 13 nights, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. As this was our first time working with Anlin, I was a bit nervous about such an extended stay, but he put me completely at ease the moment we met. Brody can be a generally nervous dog, but Anlin handled him perfectly. Throughout the trip, I received frequent updates, including photos and videos, which made it clear that Brody was happy and being truly cared for. Anlin was also incredibly gracious and proactive in working with us to ensure Brody had fresh food throughout his stay. We are so grateful for his care and absolutely look forward to working with him again!”
“My foster dog Baby had a wonderful stay with Tanya and her daughter. Their home is basically doggy heaven, and Baby enjoyed the huge lawn and tons of love and care accordingly. Baby looks forward to her next visit!”
“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!”
“Lucy had the best stay! 🐾 Jie was so easy to coordinate with. She’s flexible, communicative, and incredibly kind. I really appreciated all the updates, photos, and videos, which made it clear Lucy was getting lots of playtime, attention, and love. Being away from my puppy can make me anxious, but this time I was completely worry-free knowing Lucy was in such caring hands. I would absolutely book again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter! 💖”
“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!”
“Rachel, CW and their girls were great with our dog. They sent daily detailed updates and lots of really great photos. They were quick to respond to any questions. I know our dog was well cared for- he went on lots of walks, got lots of belly rubs, and played tug. Would definitely recommend.”
