Mario is fantastic. We have a small, crazy doggie, with issues as far as the eye can see. Mario does a great job putting her at ease and working with her personality. I am always nervous to leave her, but she comes back happy as can be! I highly recommend Mario. Great, attentive and personalized care for your dog.

Katie and Jason are great dogsitters (and super friendly humans in general)! They took great care of our pup Kiwi, who can be anxious and slow to warm up to people, and they understood that Kiwi needs to go at her own pace. Upon handoff, they immediately took her for a quick walk around the block which helped ease the transition, and by that evening, Kiwi was comfortable and asking for pets. Katie and Jason are quick to respond and kept us updated with both many adorable photos and brief recaps of walks or fun things that happened in the home. They accommodated our late pickup time with no fuss and had everything prepared: the bowls were washed and dried, and the blanket was folded. Highly recommend these two! Kiwi would love to stay with them again. Thanks Katie and Jason!

Kitty took very good care of our 7 years old husky, Zorro. It was our first time leaving him with someone other than family and I was a bit nervous. It all turned out great. We are so thankful that we found Kitty. Everyday, she shared with us pictures and updates about our boy along with her concerns (our boy has some eating issues when we are not around). She's a great communicator and very thoughtful. We are already booking for another stay with her. Thank you Kitty!

About: Hi, I’m Ana! Animals have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them brings me so much joy. My rescue dog, Chanchito, was part of our family for over 13 years. He recently crossed the rainbow bridge, and while I miss him every day, he taught me how much love, patience, and companionship our pets give us. We recently welcomed our kitten, Kira, into our family, and he’s brought so much happiness to our home. I’ve also been trusted by friends and neighbors to care for their pets while they’re away. I regularly pet sit Alfie for my neighbors, Steve and Janine, and Enzo for my neighbor, Ali. I also care for my friend Kelly’s cats, Coco and Rax, by feeding them, refreshing their water, cleaning the litter box, and spending time with them so they feel loved and comfortable while she’s away. I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to provide loving, dependable care before and after work, as well as on weekends. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, and I make time each day for walks, playtime, cuddles, and companionship. I love being outdoors, so if your dog enjoys walks or getting fresh air, we’ll have plenty of opportunities to explore together. Every pet receives lots of attention, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and well cared for. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I live in a clean, calm condo and only accept one family’s pets at a time so I can give each pet my full attention and help them feel comfortable in a home environment. I currently have a friendly kitten named Kira, so I only accept dogs that are comfortable around cats. Before every boarding stay, I like to schedule a meet-and-greet to make sure everyone is a great fit. I’ll carefully follow your pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, medications (if needed), and any special instructions. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and lots of love. My goal is for your pet to feel like they’re staying with a trusted friend, while giving you complete peace of mind through regular updates and photos throughout their stay.

James and Jasmine are hands-down the best dog sitters we’ve ever used. They are incredibly professional and took the time to understand Toby’s specific routine and needs. It was clear from the start that they genuinely love dogs and treated our Toby as their own. They were super reliable and kept us up to date with Toby's activities and sent us daily pix -- they truly went above and beyond to make sure Toby was comfortable and happy. We will definitely be booking them again! Thanks again guys!

We could not be happier with the care Ivana provided for our golden doodle, Gigi, during our week away. From the moment we connected, Ivana was incredibly responsive and caring which gave us complete peace of mind. She kept us updated every day with photos and videos, and it was clear that Gigi was happy, comfortable, and receiving lots of love and attention. Ivana treated Gigi like her own, and we truly appreciated the care and thoughtfulness she showed throughout the entire stay. Ivana provided 10/10 care, and we would absolutely trust her with Gigi again. So happy we have found her. Thank you, Ivana! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

About: I live with two dogs of my own as part of a full multi-pet household, so daily care isn't new to me — it's routine. I have specific experience with senior dogs, including the extra patience and attentiveness that comes with mobility issues, changes in appetite, and adjusted exercise needs. I'm comfortable administering medications — pills, liquids, or topicals — and keep careful notes on dosing and timing so nothing gets missed. My apartment includes an oversized outdoor patio for fresh air and relaxing evenings, and our community also has a dog run that's always accessible for exercise and playtime. Whether your dog is a high-energy pup or a slower-moving senior, I adjust my pace and attention to what they actually need. Pet care is my full-time focus, because I don't work outside the home, my schedule is wide open — which means I can offer walks and drop-in visits at the times that actually fit your pet's routine, not squeezed into a narrow morning-or-evening window like many sitters. Mornings are typically free for early walks or first visits of the day. I have consistent availability through the afternoon for midday drop-ins, potty breaks, or a second walk if your dog needs it. And I'm just as available in the evenings for a final walk or check-in before you're home. Whether your pet needs one visit a day or several spread throughout, I have the flexibility to actually be there when it counts. Safety and trust start with creating a calm, structured environment where pets can settle in and feel at home. My apartment is a full-time, attentive household — with two dogs and several cats of my own, pets who stay or visit here are never left alone for long stretches, and routines (feeding, medication, walks) are followed closely and consistently. I keep a close eye on interactions between visiting pets and my own animals to make sure everyone is comfortable, and I'm attentive to signs of stress so I can adjust the environment as needed — whether that means quiet separate space or supervised introductions. Outdoor time is always supervised, whether that's the patio, a walk, or the community dog run, and I take care to secure doors, gates, and any potential hazards throughout the home. Your pet's safety and comfort are treated with the same level of care as my own.

I am so grateful to have found Annie as a pet sitter. She is reliable, responsible, communicative, and genuinely caring with animals. She kept me updated with messages and photos, gave my pets plenty of attention and playtime, and made them feel comfortable and loved while I was away. It’s clear that she truly cares about the pets she watches, and my pets bonded well with both her and her dog Hunter, as well as the other boarded dogs.

We boarded our two pups with Kelly for a weekend. She sent us multiple photos and videos everyday. She played with them and took them on walks and even did some training. When she noticed that one of our dogs ate too fast, she offered their food in a slow feeder. We could tell she took great care of our dogs during their stay. We highly recommend Kelly and would board our dogs with her again!

We weren’t sure how he’d do since we only adopted him a few months ago, but he seemed to have such a great time! Would book again!

About: I’m a caring, responsible dog lover who treats every pet like part of the family. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. What sets me apart is the personal attention I give each dog. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, whether that means plenty of playtime and walks, extra patience with a shy dog, or a calm and comfortable environment for a senior pet. I’m also comfortable providing the patience and consistency that young dogs and puppies need as they learn good habits and adjust to new surroundings. My goal is simple: for your dog to feel happy, cared for, and at home while you’re away-and for you to have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I work outside the home, but I'm intentional about making pet care a priority in my daily routine. I plan my schedule around the pets in my care to make sure they receive regular meals, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I'll follow their normal routine as closely as possible. Before booking, I'm happy to discuss your pet's specific needs and make sure my schedule is a good fit for them. When I'm home, your pet gets plenty of companionhsip, attention, and care in a calm, comfortable enviornment. Your pet will be treated like part of the family and receive plenty of love, attention, and individual care. I'll follow your pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including meals, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications if needed, and plenty of companionship. For dogs, a typical day includes walks, outdoor time, play, and lots of attention and affection. For cats, I'll provide feeding, fresh water, litter-box care, playtime and companionship while also respecting their need for quiet time and personal space. I provide a calm, comfortable home environment where pets can relax and feel safe. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you know how your pet is doing while you're away. Every pet is different, so I'm happy to follow your instructions and adjust their care to their individual personality, routine, and needs.

Irina is very lovely lady and caring our cat so much! She followed all instructions, and visited our cat timely. She even stayed longer than our original booking window to spend time and play with Capy. Took a lot photos and video to make sure we feel comfortable during our leave. Our cat is a shy boy, usually hide from strangers but not to Irina. He even showed his belly with trust to her, that says something! We will not hesitate to work with Irina when necessary for next time, thank you so much!🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️

About: I live with cats every day as part of a full multi-pet household, so I'm well-practiced in reading subtle cues — a cat that's stressed versus one that's just aloof, changes in appetite, or shifts in litter box habits that might signal something's off. I'm meticulous about litter box maintenance, scooping daily (or more) and keeping boxes fresh, since that's often the first thing that affects a cat's comfort and health. I'm comfortable with cats of all temperaments, from playful and high-energy to shy and reserved, and I pay close attention to feeding schedules, medication needs, and the little quirks that make each cat feel at home. I'm also experienced administering medications — pills, liquids, or topicals — and keep careful notes on dosing and timing so nothing gets missed.

For our first time using Rover we had Peter watch our 16 year old cat while we were out of the country for a week. Peter came by to get instructions and was very down to earth and professional. He was awesome with communication and really made us feel comfortable being away from home with his daily drop-ins. I highly recommend Peter and will use him again on all future needs for our cat when we are out of town!

Milena is fantastic! We have three cats, one of which is rather cagey and requires medication every day. Milena took the time to do that as well as play with them and brush them. On the second day, our cat refused to come out for her medication. Milena took extra time to coax her out, was open to trying other methods to make her more relaxed, and kept communication open. Milena went above and beyond, highly recommend!

About: I’ve cared for my own two cats for the past 15 years, raising them from playful kittens to their senior years. That experience taught me how to understand cats at every stage of life and provide them with the love, patience, and care they need. I absolutely love spending time playing, cuddling, and making sure every cat feels safe and comfortable. After my beloved cats passed away, I began cat sitting for friends and it’s been such a rewarding way to continue sharing my love for cats. I’ll care for your cat as if they were my own, giving them plenty of attention, affection, and personalized care while you’re away. I currently work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to provide your cat with plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure they feel loved and comfortable while you’re away. I’m also available for house sitting and can help with light household tasks, such as bringing in mail, watering plants, and keeping your home tidy. I always follow each cat’s normal routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. I’ll make sure they have fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, plenty of playtime, and lots of affection if they enjoy cuddles. I also pay close attention to their behavior so I can quickly notice if anything seems unusual. If I’m caring for your cat in your home, I’ll respect your space, keep everything clean and tidy, and provide regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

Amanda was an amazing cat sitter! She helped take care of our two cats on relatively short notice. Our cats have special requirements in terms of medication and feeding (a different schedule nearly every day!) and she was amazing at handling it. Normally when we come back from trips our cats seem really lonely and needy, but after this trip and being taken care by Amanda they didn’t seem to care at all that we were back. She took great care of them with the care and play so they weren’t stressed at all! Thanks Amanda!

About: I live with two dogs of my own as part of a full multi-pet household, so daily care isn't new to me — it's routine. I have specific experience with senior dogs, including the extra patience and attentiveness that comes with mobility issues, changes in appetite, and adjusted exercise needs. I'm comfortable administering medications — pills, liquids, or topicals — and keep careful notes on dosing and timing so nothing gets missed. My apartment includes an oversized outdoor patio for fresh air and relaxing evenings, and our community also has a dog run that's always accessible for exercise and playtime. Whether your dog is a high-energy pup or a slower-moving senior, I adjust my pace and attention to what they actually need. Pet care is my full-time focus, because I don't work outside the home, my schedule is wide open — which means I can offer walks and drop-in visits at the times that actually fit your pet's routine, not squeezed into a narrow morning-or-evening window like many sitters. Mornings are typically free for early walks or first visits of the day. I have consistent availability through the afternoon for midday drop-ins, potty breaks, or a second walk if your dog needs it. And I'm just as available in the evenings for a final walk or check-in before you're home. Whether your pet needs one visit a day or several spread throughout, I have the flexibility to actually be there when it counts. Safety and trust start with creating a calm, structured environment where pets can settle in and feel at home. My apartment is a full-time, attentive household — with two dogs and several cats of my own, pets who stay or visit here are never left alone for long stretches, and routines (feeding, medication, walks) are followed closely and consistently. I keep a close eye on interactions between visiting pets and my own animals to make sure everyone is comfortable, and I'm attentive to signs of stress so I can adjust the environment as needed — whether that means quiet separate space or supervised introductions. Outdoor time is always supervised, whether that's the patio, a walk, or the community dog run, and I take care to secure doors, gates, and any potential hazards throughout the home. Your pet's safety and comfort are treated with the same level of care as my own.

About: Having raised my own puppy and dogsat for friends with anxious pups, I'm well versed in how to provide for a pup's full time needs. I can also provide puppy training in house manners (for example: waiting patiently to be fed, waiting at doors, simple commands). My care and attention to my own puppy, Chef, is full time and I am super excited to share that with your pup. We can go on excursions or hang around the house or play fetch at the dogpark. Whatever your pup is up for. I have a fenced yard and a friendly pup for your pup(s) to play with! And if your pup doesn't want company for whatever reason, I have gates and crates to make sure they are safe and happy in their own space. Feel free to request photos/videos and check in anytime for updates.

Diana was so welcoming and accommodating to Teddy. They have a lovely house with a big back yard that he loved. She was also flexible with seeing whether Teddy would get along with other dogs she was boarding. The pictures she sent me that day made me feel like Teddy was in such good hands. He loved it there.

Anna and Conrad took great care of Teddy for the day and was able to accommodate our last minute request for booking and changes. Our guy is a little shy around other dogs so they were extra patient and caring to ensure he was okay and even allowed us to meet before our daycare so the dogs can get exposure. We also have a special diet and due to a recent illness and they were able to continue with our feeding instructions (even letting us know how much he consumed in the meal). I would be more than happy to drop off our dog for another session with them. Thank you Anna, Conrad, Mochi, and Olive!

I got photos and videos during my dog's stay. She is accommodating on times (I'm always late). My dog comes home EXHAUSTED which is GREAT. He gets to play hard. The house is basically a dog heaven. The space is designed so the dog's can be anywhere and be safe. There's shade. There's indoor areas, shaded outdoor areas, sunny space, trees and bushes to sniff. It may not be where YOU would live, but it's where the dogs live in heaven.

Katie and Jason welcomed our sweet pittie Archie for daycare so we could give Archie the chance to get to know them some before they watch him overnight later this month. Archie came home relaxed and happy! We also received so many beautiful pictures and a video showing his time with Jason and Katie, which calmed this nervous mom’s anxiety about leaving Archie with anyone else. We’re so happy and relieved we found Katie and Jason, they are legitimate dog people! ♥️

About: I have a Samoyed x Standard Poodle at home, so I am very comfortable handling and caring for larger breeds! I have also cared for various dogs within my family so I are experienced with smaller dogs and different breeds. And since I work from home full time, you can expect frequent photo and video updates throughout the day so you always know your pup is happy and well looked after! I work from home full time, so your dog will never be left alone. Since I have our own dog, I already do two walks a day — so your pup will definitely be getting out and about! I have my own friendly dog at home who loves meeting new friends — he gets along great with dogs of all sizes and breeds, so your pup will always have a playmate! I also have enrichment toys and lick mats on hand to keep them stimulated and entertained.

About: My family and I have a love for animals. We have gone through many different species of pets including dogs, cats, hamsters, bunnies, and birds. Apart from my family, I’ve helped house-sit and cared for my friend’s dog for a few years now whenever she’s away. During that time, I’ve handled daily walks, feeding, and making sure the dog feels safe and comfortable at home. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and extra availability to care for and walk dogs. I’m able to provide consistent attention and accommodate different walking times throughout the week. I like to follow their normal routine to keep them comfortable. I make sure they are fed on time, get regular walks, have fresh water, and receive plenty of attention and playtime.

About: I currently WFH as a Client Finance Manager and recently completed my MBA degree. Somehow, I still have plenty of free time and absolutely love pups! I have my own 4-year-old cavapoo, Eloise, and an 11-month-old mini poodle mix, Charlie Sheen. We go on walks 2–3 times a day along the beautiful Bay Trail and would love to walk your dog, too! Hire me to dog-sit, dog-walk, or care for your pup—I offer extra attention with snuggles, kisses, and plenty of outdoor time! I am home throughout the day to ensure frequent potty breaks, attention, and regular check-ins. I typically walk dogs twice a day, and with my flexible schedule, I can accept last-minute bookings. I can stay for a few hours at your home, take pups on a long walk, or simply drop by to check in and feed them. I firmly believe all pups should have access to daily cleaned and fresh bowls of water. My car can take me anywhere to care for your pup!

About: Having grown up with a dog, what sets me apart is my focus on high-needs care and consistency. Your pet can be my 'co-worker' for the day, receiving constant attention and structured play. I'm comfortable with medication schedules and slow-paced mobility walks. You can expect frequent photo updates and a calm, pet-first environment As a remote professional, I offer the 'work-from-home' advantage: your pet will have a constant companion throughout the day which is ideal for most dogs. Your pet will always be treated like family! We start with a slow introduction, ensuring they feel safe and confident. I provide a structured day with frequent potty breaks, interactive play, and plenty of lap time. When sitting in your home, my priority is maintaining your pet's 'normal.' I follow your feeding and exercise schedules to the minute to minimize anxiety. I also take great care of your space, possibly watering plants, and ensuring your home is secure and tidy so you can return to a happy pet and a peaceful house.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and caring for them has always been second nature. I grew up with a dog and a duck, and have continuously lived in homes with cats and dogs through college and graduate school, so I’m very comfortable with their routines and behavior. I’ve also cared for pets for friends and family over the years, including feeding, walking, cleaning, and making sure they feel comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. I understand the importance of consistency, attention, and keeping pets on their normal schedule. I also have three tortoises of my own, including one I’ve had for nearly 23 years, which has made me especially attentive to routines, environment, and long-term care. I am currently volunteering at the Kitten Nursery with the Peninsula Humane Society, where I help taking care of kittens too young for adoption. I have a very flexible schedule through freelance consulting work, which allows me to be available for pet care most days of the week, including weekdays and weekends. I can accommodate a variety of schedules, whether it’s regular visits or last-minute needs. The only consistent commitment I have is volunteering on Monday afternoons at the Peninsula Humane Society, but outside of that, I’m highly flexible and able to adjust to your pet’s routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, litter box or cleanup routines, exercise, and any specific preferences your pet is used to. I take a calm and patient approach, especially with shy or more independent pets, and make sure they feel comfortable in their own space. I also keep the home clean and organized, and treat it with the same respect I would my own. I’m attentive to any changes in behavior or health and will communicate updates regularly so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.

About: I have 3+ years of hands-on experience caring for my two cats, and I regularly look after a friend’s Shiba Inu for about a month each year. I’m a native Mandarin Chinese speaker and fluent in English. 欢迎全程使用中文沟通,包括见面了解、照护说明和每次服务后的照片与情况更新。 I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, walks, playtime, and following detailed care routines. Living with a shy cat has taught me to be patient, read pets’ body language, and let them approach at their own pace. I pay close attention to changes in appetite, energy, behavior, and litter box habits. I’ll also provide clear photo updates so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently have a flexible schedule and can provide drop-in visits and dog walks on weekdays and weekends, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I limit my daily bookings so I can arrive on time, follow each pet’s routine carefully, and give every pet my full attention. I keep my Rover calendar updated and appreciate at least one day’s notice from new clients so we have time to confirm care instructions and arrange a Meet & Greet when needed. I care for pets in the comfort of their own home and follow each owner’s instructions closely. Before the first booking, I prefer a Meet & Greet to review feeding, water, litter boxes, walking routines, home access, emergency contacts, and any health or behavioral needs. During every visit, I make sure doors and gates are secure, keep dogs leashed outdoors, avoid interactions with unfamiliar animals, and respect your home. I also send photos and detailed updates about your pet’s food, water, bathroom habits, energy, and behavior.

About: I love spending time with animals and treat every pet like they're part of my own family. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you're away. Whether it's walks, playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company, I'll make sure they get plenty of attention and love. My goal is for you to feel confident knowing your pet is safe, happy, and in good hands. I have had dogs and cats my entire life. I can administer oral and subcutaneous medications. I am happy to provide references from former Gilead and Genentech colleagues as well as neighbors. My best friend’s brother is a police detective who knows me well. I graduated with a BA from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, then went on and completed my MBA at Cornell University. I stopped working recently, so I have plenty of time to devote and dedicate to pet sitting. I am available mornings, afternoons and nights, depending on what you and your pet’s schedule requires. Please note I do not offer boarding or pet care services in my own home. I have 2 cats who need to be the only animals in the house.

About: Having raised my own puppy and dogsat for friends with anxious pups, I'm well versed in how to provide for a pup's full time needs. I can also provide puppy training in house manners (for example: waiting patiently to be fed, waiting at doors, simple commands). My care and attention to my own puppy, Chef, is full time and I am super excited to share that with your pup. We can go on excursions or hang around the house or play fetch at the dogpark. Whatever your pup is up for. I have a fenced yard and a friendly pup for your pup(s) to play with! And if your pup doesn't want company for whatever reason, I have gates and crates to make sure they are safe and happy in their own space. Feel free to request photos/videos and check in anytime for updates.

Yvette tried hard to take my dog who wasn’t moving at first because of the unfamiliar situation and managed to get him pee and poop!!! I had a bad cold and she was so helpful.

Allison has been such an amazing "friend" to our dog, Kona. We can tell how much Kona is loved and cared for while we are away at work and school. We get regular updates on how Kona is doing, including pictures! Would definitely recommend Allison for your dog's needs!

Katie and Jason are great dogsitters (and super friendly humans in general)! They took great care of our pup Kiwi, who can be anxious and slow to warm up to people, and they understood that Kiwi needs to go at her own pace. Upon handoff, they immediately took her for a quick walk around the block which helped ease the transition, and by that evening, Kiwi was comfortable and asking for pets. Katie and Jason are quick to respond and kept us updated with both many adorable photos and brief recaps of walks or fun things that happened in the home. They accommodated our late pickup time with no fuss and had everything prepared: the bowls were washed and dried, and the blanket was folded. Highly recommend these two! Kiwi would love to stay with them again. Thanks Katie and Jason!

This was Yogi’s first time away from home, and Cynthia made sure he was well cared for. She sent us lots of updates (which we requested) and Yogi looked so happy the whole time. We weren’t sure how he’d do since we only adopted him a few months ago, but he seemed to have such a great time! Would book again!

Our dog had a great time with Michael & Evie! We actually think he misses them :) They always updates us and send us photos of Kaido without us asking for it. We are really glad we left Kaido with them. Definitely won't be the last time! Thank you again Michael & Evie for taking such good care of our gentle giant 💜

About: I’m a caring, responsible dog lover who treats every pet like part of the family. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. What sets me apart is the personal attention I give each dog. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, whether that means plenty of playtime and walks, extra patience with a shy dog, or a calm and comfortable environment for a senior pet. I’m also comfortable providing the patience and consistency that young dogs and puppies need as they learn good habits and adjust to new surroundings. My goal is simple: for your dog to feel happy, cared for, and at home while you’re away-and for you to have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I work outside the home, but I'm intentional about making pet care a priority in my daily routine. I plan my schedule around the pets in my care to make sure they receive regular meals, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I'll follow their normal routine as closely as possible. Before booking, I'm happy to discuss your pet's specific needs and make sure my schedule is a good fit for them. When I'm home, your pet gets plenty of companionhsip, attention, and care in a calm, comfortable enviornment. Your pet will be treated like part of the family and receive plenty of love, attention, and individual care. I'll follow your pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including meals, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications if needed, and plenty of companionship. For dogs, a typical day includes walks, outdoor time, play, and lots of attention and affection. For cats, I'll provide feeding, fresh water, litter-box care, playtime and companionship while also respecting their need for quiet time and personal space. I provide a calm, comfortable home environment where pets can relax and feel safe. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you know how your pet is doing while you're away. Every pet is different, so I'm happy to follow your instructions and adjust their care to their individual personality, routine, and needs.

Kenneth did an amazing job watching my dog. He sent me so many great updates with photos multiple times a day so I knew how she was doing. My dog can be a little shy with new people but Kenneth made her feel comfortable and at home. I could tell by the photos she had warmed up. Kenneth was also very good at following the care instructions I left. I would definitely recommend him as a dog sitter!

Need a reliable, trustworthy and responsible dog sitter? Allison is the perfect match!!!! :-) For an animal lover, that's a big deal - there are far too few people (and especially businesses) out there that genuinely care about the animals, and aren't really just there for the money - This is NOT Allison. From the moment she greeted Stitch, I knew that he would be in good hands. She took her time to get to know him. It's always a good sign when dogs are comfortable with someone, and this was definitely the case with Allison.Her home is ideal with a wonderful large backyard so perfect for accommodating. The stress of leaving your pet for long periods of time can really have an impact on your vacation but luckily we didn't have to worry! Allison sent us daily pics via the app and was always very responsive to any questions. It felt so good and was such a relief to actually enjoy our vacation knowing that our dog stitch was in excellent hands! The prices for her services are more than reasonable. She really goes above and beyond and is very professional and conscientious. We'll def be using Allison again xoxoxo

We booked Kristine for a three-week boarding stay while we were out of the country, and she was fantastic. She was very communicative and responsive throughout the entire stay, sending us regular updates and photos that gave us great peace of mind. She was also caring for other dogs and did an excellent job making sure they all got along well. We felt completely comfortable leaving our dog in her care and would highly recommend Kristine to anyone looking for boarding services.

I can’t say enough great things about Jas! He was able to care for our dog Murphy last minute. He was very responsive, sent updates and pictures throughout our whole trip. The pictures of Murphy showed how relaxed and happy he was! Pretty sure Murph came back smelling better 😆 We will definitely be using Jas again.

Ryan & Milo took good care of Bibi, our 9 lb Terrier Chihuahua. She is a little anxious and disabled so she can not walk well, and Andy followed all our care instructions. His large Golden Retriever, Milo, had no problems with little Bibi. Milo’s gentle nature put her right at ease. It was surprising as she usually barks like crazy at big dogs. When Bibi came home after a couple nights stay she was not all exhausted so we were glad her stay was not stressful. They are excellent dog sitters.

Lauri was really great and took excellent care of our 8 month old puppy Benji! It was very easy to trust her with Benjis care! She made sure he had a lot of both physical and mental exercise throughout the day and shared regular updates. You can tell she is very passionate and knowledgable about pups. She goes out of her way to make sure everything is perfect and is very flexible to accommodate their needs and development. She gave us a lot of tips and tricks after spending the weekend with Benji! Highly recommend Lauri! We are excited to keep working with her!

She even pulled our dog out of her shell and sent us plenty of pics with her tail up, wagging, and happy 😊 Her backyard has plenty of space and our pup got lots of walks. Thanks Ming-Ching for a great experience 🙏
