“Katie and Jason were amazing hosts for Apollo! They were really sweet with him and very communicative, which was super helpful. I’m sure Apollo would love to stay with them again!”
“Felt very reassured during the entire booking. I received constant updates and pictures of my dog while I was gone. She always asked questions when unsure and was very flexible to make sure my dog got the care he needed. Very fast at responding. Overall great experience.”
“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.”
“I needed to find care for my cat on short notice and Ivan was really responsive and made my first time boarding my cat very easy! He sent lots of pictures and updates and he made my very shy cat open up and get comfortable very quickly!”
“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.”
“Mario is amazing! It was our first time boarding Mocha (our 6 months pup), so needless to say, we were very nervous with how it would go. Mario sent pictures everyday and she looked like she was having so much fun with the other dogs and laying on the beach. By the time we came to pick her up, she looked very happy and acted nothing out of the ordinary. We're definitely going to come back to Mario if and when we need to board her in the future. Thank you!!”
“Tiffany was great! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter. Our dog, Tomo, looked happy throughout his stay with her and she spent quality time with him.”
“My Rudy doesn’ pose for pictures for my own husband. Somehow Kitty gets the perfect poses from him! Thank you for the wonderful pictures, and for taking care of our kid. We’ll see you again!”
“Irina took fantastic care of my dog, Daisy! She took her on long walks, gave her lots of cuddles, and was very attuned to her individual needs. On top of that, Irina was very responsive to me, and sent lots of great pictures of their adventures together. It was so nice to know that Daisy was in good hands, and I didn't need to stress about her while I was away!”
“Kelly kept our dogs safe and happy during our time away. She provided frequent updates, photos and videos so we could see our pups enjoying all of their daily activities with her. She was very quick to reply if we had any questions or concerns. She maintained our dogs’ regular schedule and they adjusted easily to their stay with Kelly without any issues. Her place is super clean so we weren’t worried about our dogs getting into anything dangerous. When our trip was unexpectedly cut short for reasons unrelated to the pups, Kelly took the initiative to contact Rover and modify our booking so we wouldn’t be charged for the days we originally booked but were no longer using. We will definitely book with Kelly again for our next trip!”
“Doug was wonderful with my four legged best buddy. He gave him lots of exercise, love, and attention! Very communicative and I felt so comforted having Parker with Doug while I was on vacation. Thank you Doug!!”
“My dogs stayed with Anna for three weeks while I recover from surgery. She was so patient with my two dogs and gave them lots of affection and loving care. Not only she sent me lots photos and texts communication, she let me visit them at her home. I’m so grateful for Anna, so I can heal properly and peacefully during these three weeks.”
“Namrata and her family took such great care of my dog Allie for one month. My initial plans for a dog sitter unexpectedly fell through, but on very short notice (just a few days) I was able to find Namrata who thankfully was able to take care of Allie for the whole month. I received photos and video and it was clear that Namrata, her family and her dog Albus were bonding with Allie and that she was very well taken care of. I’m thankful I was able to find Namrata and now feel confident that I have an excellent dog sitter for any travel in the future. I highly recommend her services.”
“Tilly came home a very happy girl! She is so well taken care of at Diana and Michael’s. It feels great to have peace of mind while I’m out of town, knowing she’s in a safe, loving home where she also has a lot of fun playing! Diana sent great videos and updates during the stay! Would definitely continue having Tilly stay here.”
“Stephen and Maggie are fantastic! They looked after my very timid labradoodle for over a month and he settled in so well that he wasn't sure he wanted to come home. I'm so grateful to be able to travel without worries because I know that Loki is in the best of hands with them. Thank you!!”
“This is our second time having our dog board with Zicheng. We have had a great experience. They are very kind and so is their dog, Kennedy. They were very flexible and communicative with how Mochi was doing. They would send pictures daily on how Mochi was doing as well which was great! Would definitely continue booking with them when needed. Thank you!”
“Lawrence and his wife provided kind and thoughtful support to our older dog over a long weekend. Communication was excellent before and during the care period. They paid attention to the instructions I shared and seemed genuinely invested in a good experience for our dog. Thank you!”
“Annie took care of our day for the first time for a 7-day stay and we had a wonderful experience with her. She communicated clearly, asked thoughtful questions, and provided regular updates with photos, which gave me great peace of mind. When I returned, my dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I’d happily book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, attentive pet care. Thanks Annie.”
“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!”

“Lizbeth did a great job checking in on our cat, and was super communicative. She followed all instructions and left the place clean. Would book her again in the future!”
About: I’m a loving cat mom of 5+ years with a lifetime of experience caring for cats of all ages. I’m competent in simple dog training and am open to dog-sitting/walking, but cats are by far my specialty. I have proven experience building trust and bonding quickly with new cats, even those with behavioral issues or shy demeanors. I’m a teacher looking for extra summer work, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your furry friends June-August! I can make up to 5 visits on weekends and 3 visits on select weekdays. I will be nannying part time and will be available before 2pm and after 6pm on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays. Please message me with any questions! I am soft, gentle and empathetic with all new pets I meet, especially when I’m entering their safe space! My cat was a mean, shy little boy when I adopted him at 7 months; but now at 5 years he’s happy and comfy as can be. I hope to provide this same experience for your pets, whether it be a short drop in or an overnight visit.
“Irina did a wonderful job looking after our two cats during our 3-day trip. She was punctual, very loving to our cats, and provided great photo updates that gave us total peace of mind. Our cats were happy and well-cared for, and we will definitely book with her again. Highly recommended!”
“This was our 1st time using Tricia with our two kitties and hopefully won’t be the last. She was such a pleasure to work with. Sent pics, updates and had great communication throughout. Would not hesitate to use again for our two boys.”
“★★★★★ Exceptional Care - Ruby Went Above and Beyond! I can’t recommend Ruby highly enough! She took care of my two cats, Cashmere and Kitty Kat Dinsky, for two weeks while I was away, and honestly, I couldn’t have asked for better care. Ruby was incredibly communicative throughout the entire time - I received tons of photos and regular progress reports that gave me complete peace of mind while I was traveling. She didn’t just go through the motions; she genuinely gave my cats the attention and care they needed. It was clear she wasn’t just checking boxes but actually connecting with them and making sure they were happy and comfortable. Coming home to two content, well-cared-for cats (and a clean space!) was such a relief. If you’re looking for someone reliable, attentive, and truly caring, Ruby is your person. I’ll absolutely be booking her again for future trips!”
“It was our second time to hire Caludia, and she was great with both of our kittens. She’s always very reliable, and goes above and beyond with her care. We highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals for 20+ years. I grew up with a cat and 2 dogs, rode horses, volunteered at animal shelters, and we currently have 2 tuxedo kitties (Olive & Gruyere). Cats are hands down my favorite animals. I love their curiosity, independence, and overall silliness. Whether it is the cats I sit, the ones at the shelter, or interacting with my own pets; I enjoy spending time with each one and getting to know their unique personalities. From all of my experiences, I’ve found that patience, respect, and kindness are the pillars to good interactions with animals. I also have formal “Fear Free” animal behavior training from my shelter experience. The most important thing to me will always be the well-being of your pet. Happy to help out fellow pet parents through Rover! Cheers, Marissa
About: I have spent my life around dogs and cats. I like to think I speak their language! They sense I am a welcoming person and warm up to me quickly. I am calm and patient. I respect their space and let them warm up to me. I am gentle in my nature.
About: My life changed for the better when I got my first cats 3 years ago. Since then, I’ve absolutely loved spending time with them and learning about their unique personalities. Besides caring for my own cats, I have experience looking after those of my friends and neighbors. I’m happy to help with all the essentials, from feeding and playtime to keeping their litter box and personal space clean. I’m a very patient person who truly enjoys a cat's company, and I’ll make sure your kitties feel comfortable and loved!!
“This was my first time using Rover and Liv was a fantastic choice for my 3 cats. She is professional, punctual, kind, and very experienced with multiple pets. I highly recommend booking with her and will do so for future trips. Thank you!”
“Our Dog loves Aime! She is very reliable and communicative. She's walked our pup a couple times a week and we are so happy to have found her. She is kind, loving and takes extra good care of Manti Carlo.”
“Erica is wonderful! She took amazing care of our two cats; making 2 drop in visits each day. She left thoughtful comments as to how they were doing and sent photos with each visit. She clearly loves animals and is a lovely person herself! I will entrust her to care for my pets in the future.”
About: I’ve taken care of cats since I was 10 years old. Family, friends and neighbors have relied on me to take care of and feed their feline family members while they are away. I am able to give cats oral and subcutaneous medications if needed.
“This was our first time using Rover and we couldn’t be happier with Spencer’s help and care for our kitty. He was attentive, kind, and sent updates with photos. Would recommend!”
About: Taking care of dogs started for me with my wonderful and energetic Airedale in my teens and twenties, and continues as a dedicated uncle to my sister’s 4 dogs (yes 4!). I am the guy my friends consistently ask to pet sit when they leave town. I also take pride in leaving your house as nice as when arrived. For long stays or short, I’m happy to help. I am currently working part time nearby and I am not planning holiday travel, so I’ll have plenty of time for quality visits with your dogs! Your pets and your home environment are important to you. I will exercise the utmost care with both and make sure you feel comfortable entrusting me with either or both.

About: My home is your pet’s home 🫶🏻 Safe and trusted environment 💛 I have been caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments since I was 10 years old. Neighbors, friends, and family have always relied on me to check in, feed, and play with their pets. As a dedicated dog and cat owner myself, I understand that your pet is family. I am a very active person who loves long walks, so I can ensure your dog gets plenty of exercise. I’m also highly organized and comfortable following specific feeding or medication schedules to keep your pup's routine consistent. I currently work in healthcare administration during the week, which means my weekends are entirely dedicated to pet care! I am available for full-time boarding and house sitting from Friday evening through Sunday night. Because I am a student and work a consistent schedule, I am very reliable and punctual with my check-ins and walk times. Your pup will have my full attention during their stay! I live in a pet-friendly environment in San Mateo where your dog's safety is my top priority. I have a friendly dog of my own who loves making new friends, making my home a great 'social' spot for your pup. I am very comfortable with 'Meet & Greets' to ensure everyone gets along. I maintain a clean, safe space and am happy to accommodate crate training or any specific home boundaries you have in place.
“Namrata, took care of my Kona. Kona is usually with me and very attached and takes a moment to warm up. Namrata kept me updated and sent me pictures. She was also flexible and kind. I will definitely be bringing Kona back.”
“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.”
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.
“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!”
“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: 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.
“Kitty is phenomenal. She is so sweet, flexible and reliable. My dog is always excited to see her.I work long hours and she is able to work with my schedule. She takes her out for walks and always sends me photos. I trust her completely.”
“Highly recommend! Michael, his wife, and their pup Kirby are warm and welcoming. Little Bear struggles with separation anxiety and fortunately, he adjusted quickly to their home. Likely because of the good vibes, chill environment, sweet pet parents and a level of understanding and flexibility that is much appreciated. Huge yard and conveniently located. Great sitter!!”
About: My husband and I both grew up with family dogs beginning at a young age. We have loved them ever since, and have a two-year-old Westie of our own now. I’ve taken care of many dogs through my life, including rescues and puppies. I have worked from home full time for the last few years while caring for several different dogs, including puppies and recent rescues. I’ve got experience with so many parts of pet care – walking strong dogs that pull, training puppies, feeding picky dogs, bathing anxious dogs, crate training, and lots of love. Our dog, Zoro, loves other dogs, chasing balls, and running around at the beach, and enjoys long walks everyday. He’s an easygoing, happy pup who loves company. I work from home with a flexible schedule. Zoro and I walk for about an hour during the day and my husband walks him again in the evenings. Especially as he is a small dog, we like to take him on outings and hikes. We would love to do the same for your dog. We have plenty of space to welcome your dog into our home and our own pup to keep each other company. Your dog would have access to the whole house, as well as our deck outside and regular walks.
“Yvette was awesome and great to work with! This was my first time using Rover and I can say because of her I will definitely be using it again! Charlie had a blast and I can tell he was well taken care of while my partner and I were at work. 10/10 recommend!”
About: I have loved and cared for animals throughout my entire life. I started fostering dogs and puppies a couple years ago (after our 16 year old chihuahua passed away) and it has brought a lot of happiness to our family. My 7 year old daughter especially loves animals and is excited to help care for your pets. We will treat your dog as if it was our own! We look forward to meeting you and taking care of your pups! I’m currently only working part time and I am home throughout the day. I love going on walks daily and can take your dog out multiple times a day! I have a fenced back yard and lots of space for your dog. Dogs are welcome anywhere in our home and we will treat them like they are own!
“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.”
About: I grew up with my brother's dogs and have been watching dogs professionally for the last three years. Just as happy to take a high-energy dog as a mellow old senior citizen. Even the stubborn ones :) I work from home as a writer and can give your pup lots of attention throughout the day. I take regular breaks to step outside to Washington Park or the fields and like to do a longer walk on the Bay Trail or Coyote Point once a day. I have a big grassy enclosed yard, too, with no dogs on the other side of the fence. If they like having a playmate, my brother’s dog Junior is three blocks away and always down to play. The yard is enclosed and I am home for most of the day on any given day. If they get cold easily, I’m happy to cover them with a blanket when they are resting. I’m a coldie too and like my house warm, so I get it! During hot days, the house stays mercifully cool, and I have a fan to help dogs with thicker fur.
“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!”
“Leila and her daughters took the best care of my baby! She had a great time playing with the other dogs. Hazel is only able to have a special food and Leila and the girls made sure she didn't get any one else's food and had fresh clean water for her when she arrived. She also gets cold easily and they watched her closely and covered her with her blanket. They also provided extra supervision in the backyard when she was observed trying to eat a piece of bark. I feel very comfortable leaving her with Leila and her daughters. Also Leila is accommodating with schedule changes and super quick to respond to messages. We love her!”
“Zhenting took great care of Jojo. I can tell Jojo had a great time because he couldn’t wait and just ran to the door directly when we dropped him off on the second day. Zhengting also shared lots of update which we really appreciated. I would highly recommend her services to anyone!”

About: Hi there! I'm Lizbeth, and I'm based in San Mateo 👋. I've grown up with cats and dogs in the house since early childhood, and I currently have two sensitive fur-babies of my own (a 12 year old tabby cat named Atlas, and a 5 year old Jindo dog named Gamja). Caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I’m attentive, patient, and highly intuitive when it comes to understanding what they need to feel comfortable. I also have a PhD in social psychology, which has given me a deep appreciation for behavior, communication, and building trust. While every pet has a unique personality, I take the time to get to know each one so they feel safe, respected, and well cared for. As a bonus, I'm a professional portrait photographer, so you can expect great photo updates during visits! I am also a regular Rover user for my own pets, so you can trust that I understand the care, professionalism, and expertise that should go into every sit. I currently work freelance, so my schedule is highly flexible during the week based on your needs. I look forward to meeting you and your furbaby! I’m attentive to details, from following feeding and medication instructions to noticing changes in behavior or mood. I treat every home with respect and will always provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.
“I have books Trisha several times in the past and will continue to do so. My dog is a working German Shepherd who needs a firmer hand but also can be very affectionate if she trusts you. Tricia knows how to handle her, and has earned her respect which can be seen by the photos showing her years at 45° and that goofy grin that only comes out when she's comfortable around somebody. If you have a working dog, I definitely recommend Tricia. 👍 ⭐ ⭐⭐ ⭐ ⭐”
“Claudia has been great with our dogs! She is really patient especially with our younger dog who can be skittish with strangers. She really takes the time to understand instructions and gives regular updates and sends pictures and videos!”

About: Growing up, I cared for two little rabbits, two turtles, and fish! For the past two years, I’ve also been helping my relatives walk and care for their dogs, and I’ve found so much joy in spending time with them. As an incoming college freshman, I may not be able to have a pet of my own right now, but I would really love the opportunity to give your furry friends the care and attention. I’m so excited to make every pet feel safe, joy, and loved while you’re away. 🐾 I’m currently working part-time. As an incoming college freshman, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time to pet care. I enjoy staying active and spending time outdoors, so dog walking fits naturally into my routine. I am available during my free time throughout the week and can provide reliable walk and attentive care. I would love to make it a meaningful part of my weekly routine. I provide loving and safe care by following pets’ routines, offering treats, teaching fun tricks, and keeping a close eye on them during walks to make sure they don’t pick up unsafe during walks.
About: I grew up with labs and lab mixes. I have trained dogs previously. I spent several years volunteering with Guide Dogs for the Blind. Animals have always been very comfortable with me. I am currently looking for work, so I have a flexible schedule. I am able to be available as needed. I understand people's lives are busy, so I try to be flexible for the dog/cat's needs. I respect their home. I treat their home as if it's my own. I respect their fur baby's space. I would never harm an animal, especially one that's part of the family.
About: I have lived with cats and a dog since I was a little kid. I have learned to take care of them and walk my dog around the neighborhood. Also, my aunt owned a small farm so I grew up around some bigger animals. (Recent pictures attached =) ) Currently I live in a small place in Burlingame so unfortunately, I don’t have place for a furry friend. Thus, I am looking forward to walk and play with your dog! I have a full time job but it has a pretty flexible schedule. I can adjust my agenda to walk your dog when it is more convenient for you. I an currently not ready to host a pet at my place but as soon as a I have a bigger space your pet will be welcomed.
About: Puppies are my specialty. I have raised over 20 puppies for multiple service dog organizations as well as fostering for a few different rescues. With my experience as a veterinary technician I am very familiar with the care of older pets and those with special needs. I also have almost 20 years of experience walking dogs for other people. I currently work full time but mostly swings shifts 3pm -11pm, so I am available before 3pm while most people are at work. I am also available for late night visits if needed. I treat every client's pet as I would my own. Creating a positive relationship with the animals I work with is most important to me.
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: I’ve been taking care of animals for 20+ years. I grew up with a cat and 2 dogs, rode horses, volunteered at animal shelters, and we currently have 2 tuxedo kitties. I have been volunteering with local animals shelters for the past 10+ years; mainly dogs, cats, and small animals. I usually opt to support pet care (feeding, kennel cleaning, walks) and recently I have been supporting surgeries (spays, neuter, etc). From all of my experiences, I’ve found that patience, respect, and kindess are the pillars to good interactions with animals. The most important thing to me will always be the well-being of your pet. Happy to help out fellow pet parents through Rover! Cheers, Marissa I’m currently between jobs (biotech in the bay) and am happy to add some structure to my days with pet care. I’m available weekdays for visits, walks, and care. Not able to do boarding or home sits at this time. I will respect your space as if it was my own; no shoes in the house, leave things cleaner than you found it, pet-safety conscientious (ex food risks). When visiting your pets they’ll have my undivided attention and you have my promise to thoroughly review any instructions; big or small.
“I was in Tahoe and couldn't return home, so I urgently needed someone to walk my dog. Yao helped quickly despite my absence. Thank you very much for walking Ruby twice, in the morning and evening, on short notice.”
“Erica has been great to work with and our dogs are always in good hands! Erica took the time to come over and meet our dogs and learn about their routines before the booking. She is always on time and keeps us updated and sends pictures of the dogs. I would highly recommend Erica as a responsible and caring dog walker/sitter!”
“Super glad to have found Spencer to walk Aza. She is thrilled when he shows up for their weekly walks and tired when he leaves - which is perfect. Thanks, Spencer, for contining to taking great care of our girl!”
About: I’ve taken care of or have been responsible for a dog for as long as I can remember. I’ve dog sat for a family friend on multiple occasions. As well as having two dogs of my own a cane corso and a multi-poodle I know the patience, time, and energy it takes to take care of your pet. I currently have no other jobs meaning I can give your pet all the love and care they deserve. I’m free every day of the week from 6am to 3pm and I’m willing to work a bit later if needed. I’ll follow your pet care instructions to the letter and will make sure that your dog feels loved and cared for. Having a dog of my own gives your pet the chance to make a new friend or get used to other 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!”
About: I have taken care of and been around many dogs since childhood. Growing up, my first dog was a Jack Russell Terrier. We got him in 2009 and he lived a happy active life until 2021. In 2022, I adopted an Australian Cattle/Great Dane mix. I also have experience caring for and looking after Golden Retrievers, Labradors, Maltese, Pitbulls, and Dachshunds. My schedule is highly flexible! I am able to switch my schedule to my client's needs to make sure their pet is taken care of. I am available on weekdays, weekends, and most holidays. My dog is super friendly and loves having doggy friends around. I am able to go on long walks and spend time doing enriching activities.
About: My dog recently passed away, Lucky. I can say I was very friendly, sweet, energentic, and gentle owner of Lucky. I loved walking and running with my dog. I have experience taking care of my friend's dogs as well. I am currently on vacation from elementary school. I have my spare time to play with your dog. And I love walking and running. I cannot wait to meet your dog. Parks around my home and very safety zone in my neighborhood. We love pets and I can walk with him anytime and find a good places to walk around my neighborhood.
About: I've been pet/house sitting for seven years for a variety of clients including birds, rabbits, hermit crabs, and even chickens! Personally, I spent ten years caring for four cats and have been caring for my own senior kitizen for sixteen years. I know that animals are as unique as humans and I'm dedicated to ensuring that their specific needs are met. For house sitting, I will bring in mail, water plants, perform light housework and most anything else you request. On drop in visits I spend half an hour to an hour with your pets in addition to general pet care. If you're in the country and in an area with cell service, I'll gladly send you daily updates and photos/videos of your pets! I can't board animals at my home but I'm open to house sitting in addition to pet sitting. I can take both long-term and part-time bookings at your convenience I am sorry to say that I cannot board your animals but I have personal transportation and can go to you! I only have cats so their smell may be on me but that has never caused problems before, both professionally and when visiting my loved ones and their dogs I am free all day Friday through Monday to hang out with your furry, feathered, and finned family. I work in San Francisco Tuesday-Thursday but if needed, I can swing by early in the morning or late at night. I am happy to take your animals on walks or hikes as well as to local dog parks. We can run or stroll depending on energy level. Tell me what you need and I will be happy to provide!

“This is our second time having our dog board with Zicheng. We have had a great experience. They are very kind and so is their dog, Kennedy. They were very flexible and communicative with how Mochi was doing. They would send pictures daily on how Mochi was doing as well which was great! Would definitely continue booking with them when needed. Thank you!”
“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!”

It kinda felt like he belongs with them, so I was happy to extend his stay. Communication was on point, lots of cute pupdates, and my dog came home as one should after a lovely vacation— relaxed and happy. Thank you both for your time & dedication. It means the world to my little family.”

“Nicole went above and beyond for us and she was willing to hear us out and help us with the problems and questions we had regarding traini ng our dog. She is dedicated and passionate about dogs and extremely knowledgeable. Our puppy came back exhausted and satisfied from the play sessions she had with the other dogs under Nicole's care. Nicole was communicative and responsive and provided frequent updates and videos. I would highly recommend Nicole for anyone looking for someone who is passionate about dogs that you can trust to provide the utmost best care for your furry friend.”
“Allison and her family deserve 6 out of 5 stars. I can't begin to speak highly enough of them. I have two extremely high energy dogs (Jack Russell and German Shepherd), both of whom also have severe separation anxiety. I was very nervous to leave them, but Allison took exceptional care of them. Allison took them on 5+ mile walks all 3 days, and she played with them in her big backyard when they weren't walking. I received constant updates and 82 pictures of their daily activities. When I picked the dogs up, they were happy and tired. She even sent the dogs home with a new toy that they had enjoyed at her house. I absolutely plan on being a repeat customer.”
“Christine was fantastic with “Bo.” She kept us updated throughout the evening with pictures and stories while we were gone. Bo was very comfortable with Christine. She was genuinely sweet with him and made him feel comfortable right away. We highly recommend Christine to anyone who needs a caring person to take care of their four legged family members.”
“Pouneh is a wonderful dog sitter. You can tell she truly loves her job and the pups she cares for. She was an excellent communicator with us as well. We are grateful to have found her and will definitely book with her again in the future.”
