“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. ”
“Micaela, thank you so much for taking such great care of Sunny Sunshine! It was wonderful to have a little getaway, knowing that he was in your capable hands. Thanks again and happy holidays to you.”
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!”
“Ivan was wonderful with our Bernadoodle! He sent a ton of photos and I felt super comfortable knowing our pup was loved and cared for while we were away. I highly recommend Ivan and plan to have Summit stay with him again in the future.”
“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!”
“Rocky came back calm and we can tell he gets treated very well with Zhenting's family. So glad we found her as we love she has an enclosed backyard space and she is very attentive. We love seeing how Rocky is doing throughout his stay with all the photos she sends!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“I have only had my dog Foxy for a short while, so I was a bit apprehensive about having to travel without her. But Anna was so kind in meeting Foxy and listened to all my concerns and nuances about her care. From all the pictures Anna sent me, I could tell that Foxy was relaxed and having a good time - which let me relax and have a good time in my travels.”
“Jennifer took care of my dog like one of her one. She constantly gave me periodic updates and was flexible with the pick up time when my flight got delayed. I would recommend her to anyone!”
“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!”
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.
“Needed to book a sitter last minute for a couple of nights and Michael was very accommodating. He was also great at sending updates and photos throughout the stay, which is always a nice surprise and very much appreciated.”
“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 💜”
“Zicheng took really good care of my dog Cooper for two weeks while I was traveling. They are very responsive and answered everytime almost immediately. I also enjoyed their daily photo and video dumps of my dog. Definitely recommend!”
“We've boarded our dog, Lucky, with Jackson twice. Each time, Jackson sent us updates every day and he followed all the instructions we have for Lucky carefully. Lucky always had a blast every time he stayed with Jackson. Jackson took him to the dog park almost every day. It's a bonus that Lucky likes to hang out with Rupert and cuddle with him. We feel at ease to know that Lucky will have a good time.”
“Jenisa took excellent care of our much loved Molly (4 year old Corgi)! Our family recently relocated from Washington State to the Bay Area, and it’s such a relief knowing we now have Jenisa as our trusted Molly caregiver!”
“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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“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!🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️”
“Kecheng took great care of our cat Gnocchi with daily drop in visits for two weeks. His updates were prompt and thorough, and he was very easy to get a hold of when needed. I would highly recommend him for your cat sitting needs!!”
“Heleen took amazing care of our kitties. She is very kind, flexible and super fun to communicate with. One of our kitties got an ear infection the day before our trip and she was willing to give his medicine while we were away. It was a relief knowing our kitties were in good hands! Heleen has taken care of our kitties several times. We are happy to continue with her and highly recommend her to care for your pets.”
“Rachel was super professional. Showed up when she said she would, took pictures documenting her feeding and playing with the cats, scooping the litter, taking in the mail, and setting out our bin for garbage pick up. Communication was spotless. Our kitties liked her, and she was very friendly and personable. Recommend completely.”
About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 7, and I have efficient experience with petting and playing with them. I always build up strong trust and a connection with them. I am currently a full-time student, but I have plenty of time to walk dogs during the week days. I am also available full days on weekends. I have a strong apartment and am surrounded by a community of dog lovers. Just let me know your needs, and I will make sure to satisfy them to the best of my ability.
“This was my second time booking with her to look after my two cats, and she was wonderful yet again! She is incredibly responsible, attentive, and provides great updates. It’s such a relief to know my cats are in good hands while I’m away. She has officially become my go-to sitter!”
“Jennifer is fantastic! She is very professional and took wonderful care of our cat while we were away. She provided prompt updates, was patient, and it was clear that our cat felt comfortable around her. She even went above and beyond by helping with a package delivery and a small security camera issue. We felt completely at ease knowing our cat was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Our experience with Rong was terrific! She cared for our cats for a couple days while we were away. She was prompt, thorough, and communicative. One day it looked like the cats got into a tiff and there was hair tufts all over the hallway. She let us know, sent photos and cleaned up after them. We appreciated her care for our cats and home, as well as the updates and pics that she provided. Thanks so much Rong! We’ll be in touch again!”
About: I’ve been an in-home house/pet sitter for 3 years now with some consistent and happy pet families. I am happy to stay in home, drop in, do walks, and I’m experienced with cats and any sized dog. I have classes 3 days/week in the mornings, and then work everyday for 3-5 hours in the afternoon. I have space in between those commitments. I put the animal’s needs first! I love to do their favorite things with them. Running, playing fetch, cuddling, going to the park, going on walks, etc.
About: I've been around cats almost my whole life. I volunteered at an animal shelter in high school, have had cats of my own since 2013, pet sat for friends and family, and have had experience raising kittens as well as experience in TNR.
“Sameena is amazing! She was incredibly professional and took wonderful care of Luna. She easily managed Luna’s medication and even took the time to clean her eye stains, which is usually very difficult to do. I felt so comfortable leaving Luna in her care and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a top-notch sitter!”
“Chloe took wonderful care of my cats while I was away. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about their well-being. I received regular updates and photos. Both cats looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for when I returned home. I would definitely book with Chloe again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!”
“Poppy took care of my cat when I was away for a few days. She was great! My cat clearly liked and trusted her. I'm really pleased and wouldn't hesitate to book with Poppy again.”
“Tsu-Wei did a great job of checking in on Atlas, and followed all directions/requests with no problem. She provided detailed updates on her visit as well. Would book again!”
“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’ve cared for my two cats, Xiaosong and Dazao, for the past three years. Xiaosong is shy and cautious, while Dazao is more outgoing, so I understand that every cat needs a different approach. I’m comfortable following feeding routines, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, brushing, providing playtime, and monitoring appetite, energy, behavior, and litter box habits. I give shy cats the space and patience they need to build trust, while making sure social cats receive plenty of attention and play. I follow care instructions carefully and send clear photos and detailed updates after every visit, so you can relax knowing your cat is comfortable and well cared for at home.

“Zhenting and her family are so friendly and caring. Today was the first day I sent my dogs to daycare and I was very nervous about it but they had a good time with Zhenting! She sends me pictures and messages frequently throughout the day. Very mindful and lovely family!”
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: 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'm sure my pup enjoyed the stay. Surya kept us updated on his food and we also got many pictures of our pup time to time. Would definitely chose him again to look after our boy. Thanks again for taking great care of Tusk!”
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I grew up with pets and have helped neighbors, friends, and family with dog walking, feeding, bathing, and basic care. I’m patient, gentle, and always prioritize your pet’s comfort and safety. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or overnight stays, I treat every pet like family. I have two children and a flexible schedule from 9 AM to 5 PM on weekdays. During this time, I’m fully available to walk, feed, and care for your pet. I respect your home and your pet’s needs. I provide a loving, safe, and calm environment, making sure every pet feels cared for like family.
“Amanda is an absolute pleasure to work worth. She provides thorough updates to give you peace of mind when you’re away from your pet. Definitely looking to keep Amanda as one of my long term care takers for my dog when I’m away.”
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.
“Michael is phenomenal! He is responsive and attentive to detail. You can tell he has a lot of experience. Our pup warmed up to him right away & I could tell she was in good hands. We will continue to utilize him for our future needs.”
“I’m very happy to come across Doug. He took great care of Oliver. Dough pays attention and ask questions about Oli, which shows that he cares and have knowledge about dogs. I’m very comfortable leaving Oli with him.”
“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!”
About: I have an extremely flexible schedule (available during “work hours”/ weekdays). I grew up with small dogs and currently have a Doberman now. So I have experience caring for both large and small breeds. Since my Doberman is a working breed, we’ve attended many training classes over the last 3 years. My doberman is extremely friendly and he gets along with all other dogs. He can be energetic outside but also super chill and calm at home. When you book any services with me, you can expect fast communication and lots of updates with pictures and videos! I can’t wait to meet your furbabies! Majority of the time I’ll be doing work on my laptop remotely on a flexible schedule. I sill have plenty of time to bring your pups on walks. I wfh all weekdays so I will be able yo watch your dog and let them out every 2-4 hours. My bf also wfh so there will be a second pair of eyes to ensure the pups safety!
“Ming-Ching and Koko were fantastic with my shy dog. She sent many photos and videos of him throughout the day so I could have peace of mind that my dog was in good hands! He came home and slept well after a big day :)”
“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.”
“Olivia went to Katharine for two days! I love that Katharine keeps Olivia active, gives her a lot of attention and takes awesome photos! Katharine is very caring and Olivia can’t wait to go back and spend the day with her. I highly recommend her. 🙂”
“Andy was so great with my enormous, energetic puppy! Took him on lots of walks, sent lots of pictures, and Beau was really excited to come back the next day and tired out when I picked him up. Thank you so much Andy!”
“Kristine did a great job watching over our dog. Our senior dog can be difficult and has some specific care instructions which she took into account. She sent updates and photos throughout the day and was very responsive. Would definitely recommend!”

About: I love animals of all kinds. I've owned and cared for cats, dogs, and birds for most of my life and have an understanding of their different needs and personalities. I currently have two 10-year-old rescued cats and am experienced with daily care routines, feeding, litter maintenance, playtime, and keeping pets comfortable and safe while their owners are away. I have also had several dogs throughout my life, with experience in training, walking, and daily care. My niece is also a vet tech at Sage, so always a phone call away for advice. I have recently retired and have time to fill my days with keeping your fur babies company. I am available every day, with the exception of occasional travel and vacations. I have two 10-year-old kitties in my home, so care most likely would be best in your home. I am happy to follow your pet's routine throughout the days and nights.
About: I've had 8 dogs in my lifetime since I was a kid. As an adult I was able to have my dogs potty trained and listening to commands by the time they were 3 months old. I love dogs but my husband is a cat person. I'm currently working 4 days a week and found that I want to do something that brings me joy and activity. I would love to have pets of my own but unable to at this time. I am able to walk and care for pets anytime after my full time work or on my days off. My apartment is pet friendly, has a big grass area within the complex, and easy access to the cemented bay trail that goes from the park next door to Foster City.

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.
“Sameena was amazing! She took great care and alerted me immediately when she noticed a health issue with my pup. Thanks to her, I was able to come home and bring my pup to the vet. 🙏 🙏 🙏”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was little. I've cared for my own throughout the years as well as walked, house sat, and cared for many others' dogs! My work schedule is different every week but I get mine typically a month ahead of time and can plan accordingly. I'm open to scheduling same day or ahead of time if time allows. As long as care instructions are provided, I will happily follow what is needed for your pet. I believe communication and safety is most important!
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have raised my very own puppy! All rescues! Individually given the love attention, food and care that they deserve! I’m currently studying to get my DVM! I’m currently working part time, and I always love to offer a helping hand when I can! Even if that means scooping some poop lol I have an apartment with a big outdoor space in the middle! I live in a suburban neighborhood so all walkies are safe filled with water bowls and treats!
About: i grew up dogs so i work best with dogs! i love getting playtime in with dogs to get all their energy out. but i also love lounging with dogs in the sun and giving them quality time. i know puppies can be a lot, but with detailed instructions, i can help watch and reinforce puppy training as i know how crucial puppy training can be. i have little experience with senior pets but am opening to learn as all pets need care. all i ask is for a typical day to day glimpse so ur fur babies have minimal disruption to their usual routine. i am familiar with cats and can help provide basic care as well why am i doing rover? i sadly live away from my family and my apartment doesnt allow dogs ): i grew up around dogs and wish i could own one right now. i'm hoping to do rover to make a lil more income, get my steps in, but most importantly get some quality pets in because i miss dogs the most i work from home so i can be flexible with my availability to care. early mornings can be tough but anytime after will be fine. if ur comfortable, i can work from ur home so ur dogs can have a buddy almost 24/7 i love to treat all pets like they're part of the family. i know some dogs can get anxious so i wanna do my best to make sure they're getting the best care while their parents are away. i don't do well with kids but i do great with pets! i am transparent with my communication so i please ask that you are just as transparent with me to ensure your pets can get the best care. unfortunately, my apartment does not allow any pets, but i don't want to let that stop me from a daily dose of animals.
“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!”
“Thank you so much Deborah! You were right on time which is very appreciated with my schedule. I can tell that Moose loved her walk and was perfectly tired out when she got back. Thank you for refreshing food and water as well. I know I’ll be in touch soon.”

“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!”
“Rocky came back calm and we can tell he gets treated very well with Zhenting's family. So glad we found her as we love she has an enclosed backyard space and she is very attentive. We love seeing how Rocky is doing throughout his stay with all the photos she sends!”
“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!”
“Jennifer took care of my dog like one of her one. She constantly gave me periodic updates and was flexible with the pick up time when my flight got delayed. I would recommend her to anyone!”
“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!”
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.
“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 💜”
“Zicheng took really good care of my dog Cooper for two weeks while I was traveling. They are very responsive and answered everytime almost immediately. I also enjoyed their daily photo and video dumps of my dog. Definitely recommend!”
“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.”
“Na sent photos of our dogs every day. She has a home in a quiet neighborhood with a yard and played ball with one of our hyper dogs every day. She provided nice little beds for them to sleep in and sent photos every day. I felt very comfortable leaving them with Na!”
“Ming-Ching was fantastic! She's super nice, thoughtful, and attentive to our dogs needs. We have a bit of an anxious dog and she was understanding and able to accommodate 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 🙏”
“Thank you Andy and family for taking care of our 2.5 year old maltipoo! Our fur baby had a great time with them. He sent pictures and kept us updated. Will definitely use them again if we go away.”
“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.”
“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”
“I had an pawsome experience with Ruo during Tyler’s stay. She kept me updated with walks, Tyler’s mood and pictures after initial meet and greet. She shows great care for my son. Really appreciate being flexible last minute and take good good care of Tyler. Would definitely rebook and recommend her!”
“Nina and Leo took great care of our greyhound/Great Pyrenees mix. They were great about updating us everyday on how he was doing (walks, bm’s, etc). They were very thorough in understanding his schedule and needs.”
“Kiara and her family were once again incredibly caring and kind to our sweet Luna. So thankful for their care of Luna she truly enjoys her visits. Thank you!!”
“Peanut had his trial day with Shannon today and everything went great. She took wonderful care of him, kept us updated with lots of photos, and made us feel very comfortable the whole time. We could see that he was happy and well cared for. We will definitely book with her again in the future”
