“Max had a wonderful stay - had so much fun with his new doggie friends. We loved all the photos! Only thing is now we think Max just wants to go back! I thought he would be anxious, but no - he loved his time there and we felt relieved he was being well-cared for and having fun. I know we'll be back soon!”
“We had a great experience with Peter. He and his family took great care of our pup. He was very easy to communicate with and sent updates with pictures throughout our pup’s stay. We felt reassured that our pup was doing well and cared for. Would definitely recommend and use for future stays!”
“Leo was very comfortable at Mings. She provided regular updates, photos and videos proactively and was very responsive to any question or request. I'll definitely keep Leo with her again when the need arises.”
“Kosar took wonderful care of our cat, Mochi, while we were away. She treated him like her own and even helped with pickup. Mochi usually takes time to adjust to new places and often stops eating, but Kosar patiently calmed him and made sure he was comfortable and eating well. She kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind during our trip. We highly recommend Kosar to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter, and we would gladly use her services again.”
“Trisha took wonderful care of my 8 y.o. Lab. He came home from a 3 night stay very happy and seemed like he had a nice time in her home. Great communication, easy pickup/dropoff, sent pics etc. Will use her again!”
“Robin and Dan are very warm, caring and obvious dog lovers. They took Nora in with open arms and were very accommodating when it comes to her quirks. They sent many updates, photos and videos. I could tell Nora felt instantly at home with them and knew she would be well taken care of. Robin and I had thorough conversations before her stay on Nora’s specific needs and traits which mad me feel at ease. Nora was very happy and content when we picked her up and didn’t seem to want to leave! We would love for Robin and Dan to take care of Nora in the future”
“Shawna is great! She was flexible with my schedule and needs (and quirks) of my little dog, Aria. More importantly, Aria was loved on, cuddled and treated like the little princess she thinks she is. Thank you Shawna and family!”
“Daisy did an amazing job caring for our dogs while we were out of town. From the moment we picked them up, we could tell they had a great time-they came home happy, sleepy (LOL), and clearly well-loved. They got plenty of play time with Daisy's kids and their dog, which made it feel like a true family environment. Knowing our dogs were treated like part of the family meant everything to us and gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Thank you so much Daisy and family for taking such great care of our pups! We highly recommend her and would absolutely book again!”
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for furry friends, and I’m excited to help your pup feel happy and loved while you’re away.

“Zhao and her family took good care of Socrates. I chose them because their house is similar size like mine and my cat prefers bigger space. I was given frequent update of my Socrates with pictures and videos.”
About: I have always been in the childcare and education field, and the last few years has brought me to the world of dog sitting! Dogs tend to become very comfortable with me right away! I wake up early for walks, and your pup will receive about 3 per day, including lots of ball and toy tosses and tons of love and attention! I live in a condo with a spacious living room for plenty of play and to keep crates and beds. Walks are always leashed. Pups are allowed on the couch and in bed. Snuggles are very important!
“Best Rover experience that I've had to date! Angela, Randall, and family were wonderful. We received a lot of pictures while we were gone and the dogs looked so happy. The backyard is perfect for fur babies, and they received a lot of exercise on wonderful hikes! Our dogs were gassed when we got home and slept like babies. I will definitely book again!”
“This was our third visit with Jing and things went just as well as usual. :) I appreciate Jing's daily photos (she captures some cute, funny moments) and that she takes them on walks in the neighborhood. The kids seem to enjoy the pups too, which makes me happy. Thank you Jing, looking forward to our next visit!”

Cat caregivers near you - San Ramon
Prices are estimates per visit for 1 cat. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: As a proud cat owner of four, I understand that every cat has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. Caring for multiple cats has given me daily hands-on experience with feeding, litter box maintenance, playtime, enrichment, grooming, and recognizing changes in behavior that could indicate something isn't quite right. I'm comfortable caring for shy, independent, and social cats, and I know the importance of letting them warm up at their own pace. Whether your cat loves to play, prefers quiet companionship, or just needs someone to keep their routine consistent, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I know how much trust it takes to leave your cat with someone else because I'd want the same level of care for my own. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care and plenty of love so you can have peace of mind knowing your feline family member is in good hands.
“Jordan was wonderful with my cats! He took great care of them while I was away, and I felt completely at ease knowing they were in good hands. He was very communicative and kept me updated throughout. I think Chloe may have even made a new friend! I would definitely recommend Jordan and would happily have him care for my cats again!”
“Ayla is absolutely amazing with our two kitties. She was very diligent with the complex feeding process for them. The best part was that she is always communicating and updating us about the cats.”
“Lollipop and Nicole made fast friends during our spring break holidays and we couldn’t be more pleased! Nicole communicated frequently and we always felt she was safe and happy. Nicole gets our highest recommendation.”
About: I have two years of experience working at a dog daycare, where I cared for dogs of all breeds, ages, temperaments, and individual needs. My experience includes feeding, administering medication, and following detailed care instructions to ensure each dog receives proper care and attention. I’m comfortable handling a variety of situations and take pride in providing safe, reliable, and attentive care for every pet. I work full-time at a dog daycare, so caring for dogs is already a big part of my daily routine! I’m available for drop-in visits and walks every day before and after work. My schedule can vary, so I’m happy to discuss specific times when booking to make sure I can give your pup the care and attention they need. I’m also comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities and energy levels, and I’ll make sure your pup gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I follow any instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and any specific needs they may have. I also treat each client’s home with the same care and respect I would want for my own, making sure everything is kept clean, secure, and as I found it. Most importantly, I want both pets and their owners to feel comfortable and confident that they are in good hands.
“My husband and I were thrilled with Lindsay and her obvious and genuine care for our cats Foxy and Maizy. It was also very clear that our cats felt comfortable with Lindsay.We were both a bit hesitant about having a cat sitter and Lindsay certainly erased any concern that we had. Lindsay sent loving comments and beautiful pictures of our dear Cats. She made certain that things were left in good order and clean. Thank you, Lindsay.”
“I always feel at peace and at ease knowing Adam will be taking care of animals. He’s efficient, genuine and timely. I feel fortunate to have found his support on this platform.”
“I loved having Elizabeth check on my babies while I traveled for the holidays. She was very kind and communicative! I felt she was very personable, yet still professional. I felt at ease knowing they were being cared for by Elizabeth. I will definitely be using her in the future!”

About: Whether your cat needs feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, medication, or simply a calm and reliable person to keep them company, I'll provide the same level of care and attention that I give my own cats. My goal is to make sure your cat stays happy, comfortable, and stress-free while you're away, so you can have peace of mind knowing they're in good hands.
About: I’ve had cats as part of my life for many years, including my family cat, who was with us from the time I was one year old until I was 21. Growing up with a cat gave me a deep understanding of their unique personalities, body language, and individual needs. I understand that every cat is different—some are social and affectionate, while others prefer their space and routine. I always take the time to earn a cat’s trust, respect their boundaries, and provide calm, attentive care. Whether your cat enjoys playtime and affection or simply needs a reliable caregiver to maintain their routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
“I met Surjit in the Peace Corps and since day one she’s shown a tremendous quality of being a dependable friend. She’s charismatic, she’s thoughtful, and she’s an extremely loving caretaker. When my dog Darwin first met her, his eyes lit up and his pupils went wide with love for her as they continue to do so every time they get together and forget I’m even there. She’s one of the very few people who I trust enough to take care of Darwin and they continue to bond in a way I don’t really see with other people since, even though my dog is very cute, I think he knows it and can be a bit antisocial and aloof. But Surjit sees him and fully accepts him for who he is, as I see her do with all pets in her life. I happily endorse Surjit because I know that she does not just see your pet as a dog or a cat, she sees them as individuals with their own personalities, fears, habits, wants, and needs. I happily endorse Surjit because I know that she will, without a doubt, go above and beyond and take care of your pet like she takes care of her own family and friends.”

I’ve raised tons of puppies, whelped many litters and raised them from birth, taken care of many puppies and taken care of many adults young and old, taken care of sick dogs and older dogs who required higher levels of medical care/medications/ointments etc, worked as a dog groomer at a high volume Petco salon for 9 years, worked as a vet groomer for a year, worked in a private salon for 2 years, worked as mobile groomer since 2019, with altogether over 19 years experience as a groomer. I also show my dogs in AKC conformation. I’ve been a multi dog owner for 25 years. Pretty much my whole life is dogs! I am fully dedicated to providing care for dogs. I can become very flexible as needed, depending on what a client is looking for. Currently my schedule is pretty open and I’m looking for long term and short term pet care jobs I can add to it. I pay a lot of attention to detail and try to follow instructions to the t. I provide the same high level of care for the pets of others as I do for my own pets.
“Absolutely perfect!! This was our first use of Rover and thus our first time using Desiree. We went in blind not knowing what to expect and came out with a new adopted parent to our cats. Desiree was the purrrfect match for our needs. She communicated well and met every need and accommodation. Our cat CeeCee loved to play daily with her new human friend. Desiree was very reliable and we will define use her again. Maybe next to watch the cats and our dogs!!!”
“This was our first time having Daryl house sit and watch our cat Samantha. Daryl was extremely communicative and planning was a breeze. We got great photos of Samantha throughout his stay. We did a shorter stay to have Samantha get used to someone new as she has not been too good with new people lately. Overall things seemed to go very well and Samantha was even approaching Daryl by the end (big for us). He took his time to let her come to him but still kept up all her care! We will be using Daryl again this month for a longer stay!”
“Rebecca was absolutely fabulous with our very shy, senior diabetic cat. I’ve been giving my cat, Winston, insulin shots for a few months now, but this is the first time I’ve had to travel. I was at a loss as to how to manage the situation. He’s a shy cat (formerly stray) who is really only used to our family. The vet didn’t think he would be a good candidate for vet boarding because he gets so nervous when we take him in that they were scared he wouldn’t eat enough to give him his insulin doses. That left home care as our best option. This was my first time using Rover and I think we hit the jackpot! It’s clear that Rebecca is a huge cat lover, like us. She was so patient with him - even when she had to coax him out of hiding to get his shot! I would strongly recommend Rebecca to anyone who needs help with their fur babies. My only hope is that she’ll be available for all of my future trips, because honestly, her services will be hard to beat!”

About: I had a brother who loved to bring animals home which I had to take care of. Now I have two daughters who love to take care of dogs , cats and other animals. I’m working part time at home so I have more time to play with your pets when I’m on break. I love to play with and to care for animals I have a home with a fence so they can pace around my yard freely without escaping. I don’t have many harsh rules for animals in my house so they can move anywhere they want any time .

“Pluto came back home so happy, relaxed, and full of smiles after spending the day with Dylan and his pups! 😊.. Dylan kept us updated throughout the day with photos and messages, so we knew how Pluto was doing.. Thank you again for taking care of him—we really appreciate it!”
“Shawna and her family did a great job taking care of our pup, Todd! We just moved to the area, and I was nervous about leaving my baby at home alone in a new place while I went to work. Shawna and her doggy daycare service put my mind at ease. She was extremely accommodating, allowing Todd to arrive extra early in the morning and sending updates throughout the day. Thanks, Shawna and family! Todd and I appreciate you!”
“Houda & Fawzi and their lovely family were fantastic with Zoe (3yo pit bull). Their children are amazing with the dogs and there’s so much of their property to roam for Zoe. Zoe was exhausted, well fed and much loved when she came home. Thanks!”
“Aubrey was able to accommodate us on a short notice and took great care of my little child ! I appreciate her and her son so much ! They really looked after my baby like their own ! THANK YOU SO MUCH !”
“Jing’s place was nice and clean. The front yard had several safety gates available so it reassured me my puppy wouldn’t run off into the street as young dogs can get excited. It was our puppy’s first time going to doggy daycare so I also didn’t know what to expect. We provided our dog food, which he didn’t eat because he doesn’t typically eat during the time we booked but wanted to make sure he had a backup in case needed. My puppy is house trained so I asked if he had any accidents, Jing stared he didn’t. He also had some time outside in the fenced backyard to sniff and play.”
“Sunayana was amazing! Newton had so much fun around her and the kids. She did work with him on leash pull and suggested few things that was really helpful!! Would love to board him again.”
About: I have had pets since I was a child, including cats and dogs. My family and I have had our current cat and prior cats from kittens, and our Golden Retriever Arnold since he was a puppy. I have the option of working at home full-time, and spending time cuddling your fur baby or taking him or her for walks and/or runs. I have a fenced yard and a friendly golden to keep your dog entertained and show him/her the ropes. I am happy to have a lap dog, or a more active dog who likes to fetch, swim, walk, or run.
About: Hello! My name is Allie. I’m a lifelong dog lover, owner, and trainer. I come from Washington state where I was raised with dogs of all kinds. For the last few years, I professionally trained and also trained law-enforcement canines. I actively compete with my dog in a sport called Schutzhund. I am extremely confident with all kinds of dogs- from tiny ones, to the giant breeds!

I also have a very sweet intact male dog who is a friend to all, if your dog likes others! I have crates available if your dog needs one. I exercise and train my dog daily, so your dog’s needs can easily be tended to. I have plenty of experience with working dogs, so I understand the implications of handling them (detection, apprehension, sport). Your pup will be extremely safe and well cared for!
“Remi had a great time!!! I’m 9 months pregnant and had a baptism to go to. My dog had a biopsy done a week ago and needed to stay with someone. Sahaila even offered to pick him up to make things easier for me. Remi was walked and seemed so happy in the pictures that were sent!! He had a great time, thank you Sahaila!”

Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities. I live in a quiet, gated community that is perfect for peaceful, low-traffic walks.

“Clara was wonderful and very communicative throughout the whole day with Tofu. You can tell she really truly cares not just for her dog, but every dog. She is very sweet and kindhearted and Tofu had a blast staying with her. She sent me pictures throughout the day as well which I really appreciated and spent lots of time with him. We will be in touch soon again, thank you!!”
“Thank u for accommodating in a short notice . Thank u for all the updates and happy to see that Astro came back happy and will definitely book again when we visit Pleasanton again”
“This was our first time using Rover and we are so happy we found Dyan. She invited us to her home prior to the stay to help alleviate any concerns we might have and sent a video the day of Abigail’s stay to show that she was settling in. We appreciated the care and attention she gave to her and us!”

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, especially those who need patience, structure, and understanding. I have a strong background in caring for both young, high-energy dogs and senior pets who require a gentler, more attentive approach. Over the years, I’ve adopted and cared for shelter dogs, including one of my most meaningful experiences: transforming my 3-year-old German Shepherd who came from an abusive and neglected background. She was fearful, submissive, and untrained when I first brought her home. Through consistent training, positive reinforcement, and a calm, stable environment, she gradually became a confident, obedient, affectionate, and deeply trusting companion. She is now 15 years old and remains a living example of the patience and care I bring to every animal I work with. This experience has taught me how to read animal behavior, build trust with nervous or reactive dogs, and adapt care to each pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s helping a young dog learn structure and good habits or providing comfort and routine for senior dogs, I focus on creating a safe, loving, and balanced environment where every pet feels secure and understood. I pick up shifts bartending but I cant adjust my schedule around sitting others dogs. I will be free when needed so no worries there. I have a nice size balcony but that the dogs can hangout on if they would like but i also take my girl out often.
“We just got through the first week with Sindhuri and I'm really glad to have found her. She walks two of my dogs. One is 110 pounds and the other is 60 pounds. They are well behave with her which is what we needed as they are not so well behave when we walk them ourselves. This gives the dogs opportunity to work on their walking and get the need3d exercise they need. We will continue to use her services weekly. 4x a week for 30 minutes and the dogs come back happy and ready to nap!”
About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs for family and friends for the past 6 years and absolutely love spending time with them! I have experience caring for cats and dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, including feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic care, and giving them lots of love and attention. I work part-time in the mornings, which means I have lots of free time in the afternoons, evenings, and on weekends! I’d love to spend that extra time giving your pup plenty of cuddles, playtime, walks, and attention. 🐶💕 I’m happy to work around your dog’s routine and make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! Your pup’s safety and happiness are my top priorities! I know how hard it can be to leave your fur baby with someone new, so I’ll treat them with the same love and care I would give my own. I’m responsible, attentive, and always make sure to follow your instructions and your dog’s usual routine. I’ll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pup is in good hands! 🐶✨
“Aaron is extremely patient and flexible with my fear aggressive and reactive dog. He provides prompt updates and sends great pics. My dog has really gotten comfortable with him. I'm grateful for his commitment to my dog and willingness to take on a challenge. I recommend him for weekly walks.”
About: As a dedicated dog parent myself, my unique strengths include senior dog care, dog walking and providing a calm home environment along with custom routines. Pet care is already a core part of my daily rhythm. As a dog parent myself, I start and end most days with walks, so caring for a dog fits naturally into my schedule rather than competing with it. Since I'm currently a homemaker, I have flexible, consistent availability throughout the week — including mornings, midday, and afternoons — which means I can offer reliable, on-time walks rather than squeezing them in around a 9-to-2. I'm looking to build dog walking into a regular part of my week: it keeps me active, gets me outdoors, and lets me connect with neighbors and other pet parents in the community. Because I understand the responsibility of caring for a dog firsthand — from reading their energy level to knowing when they need a slower pace or extra water breaks — I bring the same attentiveness to dogs in my care that I'd want for my own. For dog walking, I focus on safety, routine, and attentiveness. When I arrive at a client's home, I take time to greet the dog calmly and let them warm up to me before heading out, especially on a first visit. During the walk, I keep dogs on a secure leash, follow the pace and route that suits their energy level and age, and stay alert to their body language, other animals, traffic, and weather conditions. I always bring water for longer walks, clean up after the dog every time, and make sure collars, harnesses, and gates are securely fastened before and after each visit. Once the walk is done, I make sure the dog has fresh water available, lock up the home securely, and send the owner a quick update — including photos when I can — so they know their pet is happy and cared for. Because I'm a dog owner myself, I treat every dog in my care the way I'd want someone to treat mine: with patience, close attention, and respect for their individual personality and needs.
“Joe was very punctual and communicative with us as he walked our two pups. We are very happy to come across his profile and we will be using him again in the future. Thank you Joe!”
About: I have grown up with dogs most of my life and have experience taking care of cats, rabbits, turtles, and fish. My experience with dogs includes: training, dog walking, and administering medication. I have a 5 1/2 year old mini double doodle named Kota and trained him myself. I pride myself on providing quality animal care and want to make sure your pet is safe and happy during their time with me. Currently I am taking a sabbatical and have plenty of time to take care of your pup! Depending on your preference and your dog's needs, I can provide plenty of physical activity and mental stimulation. I am happy to take care of your pet in your home and do daily walks. Please let me know if your pet is comfortable around other dogs. If they're not, I can easily leave my dog at home while I focus on your pet's needs.
“Desiree did a meet and greet with my dogs the day w and she was so nice and bubbly. My dogs took to her right away. She listened to all my quirky instructions like they were normal! On the morning of the walk she arrived on time and kept me informed with pictures and details of the walk. I feel happy to have found her and on short notice too!”
About: Reliable and caring dog sitter with over three years of experience supporting multiple families. I’ve provided both in-home care and boarding for extended trips, including feeding, walking, and maintaining routines. As a former dog owner, I understand the importance of trust and treat every pet with patience, attention, and genuine care. I live in a safe neighborhood with access to the Iron Horse trail and a large fenced backyard for dogs to play! I work remotely, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, attention, and flexibility throughout the day. I am very active so I love taking walks and being outside with your animal! I tailor my care to each pet’s routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment with plenty of attention, playtime, regular walks, and structured feeding schedules. I limit the number of pets to 2 at a time to ensure each dog gets personalized care.
About: I’ve been a dog mom for over 30 years, and caring for pups is just part of who I am. My first dog was with me for 18 amazing years, and my second for 14. They were truly family! I love taking care of dogs all ages, but have a soft spot for senior dogs. I have a lot of experience with the extra care they need, like giving meds, keeping an eye on their health, and making sure they feel safe and loved. If your dog stays with our family, they’ll get all the cuddles, patience, and attention they deserve….just like we’d give our own. We love dogs and miss having our own, so we welcome all the pup cuddles! I am home during the day and can be available weekdays from 9 am to 4 pm for drop-in visits or taking your dog for a walk. In our home, your fur baby will be taken care of like family. We have a 9 and 7 year old who will help ensure they receive lots of love while you’re away. We have a fenced yard they can play in, as well as a great neighborhood we can go for walks in. You let us know what works best for your dog and we will make sure to stick to it, to help them feel as comfortable as possible and keep their routine. Our goal is to make the stay stress free for the dog and for you, as owners. For Drop-in visits, I will be sure to follow the routine you have shared for feeding, walks, and playtime to provide consistency and comfort. While with your dog, I will be sure to track feeding times, bathroom breaks, any behavioral observations, and share photos to give you peace of mind.
About: I've been a sitter on this platform for several years. Serving the California Bay Area, and internationally (Thailand and Japan so far!) I've had mostly small to medium dogs and cats for years as family pets, also have experience with chickens and rodents (my kids had pet rats for years). I do not currently have pets, as am doing the van life thing and don't feel it would be right to have my own pet at this time, however I truly miss having pets, prompting me to sign up for pet sitting! I'm currently retired-van living full time in the East Bay CA area, so right now just available for house/pet sitting & dog walking at your home. Responsible, mature care giver for your pet in your home, following all rules and instructions left by the pet owner. Please let me know of your pets special needs before booking.

“Leo was very comfortable at Mings. She provided regular updates, photos and videos proactively and was very responsive to any question or request. I'll definitely keep Leo with her again when the need arises.”
“Trisha took wonderful care of my 8 y.o. Lab. He came home from a 3 night stay very happy and seemed like he had a nice time in her home. Great communication, easy pickup/dropoff, sent pics etc. Will use her again!”
“Shawna is great! She was flexible with my schedule and needs (and quirks) of my little dog, Aria. More importantly, Aria was loved on, cuddled and treated like the little princess she thinks she is. Thank you Shawna and family!”
“Daisy did an amazing job caring for our dogs while we were out of town. From the moment we picked them up, we could tell they had a great time-they came home happy, sleepy (LOL), and clearly well-loved. They got plenty of play time with Daisy's kids and their dog, which made it feel like a true family environment. Knowing our dogs were treated like part of the family meant everything to us and gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Thank you so much Daisy and family for taking such great care of our pups! We highly recommend her and would absolutely book again!”
“Zhao and her family took good care of Socrates. I chose them because their house is similar size like mine and my cat prefers bigger space. I was given frequent update of my Socrates with pictures and videos.”
About: I have always been in the childcare and education field, and the last few years has brought me to the world of dog sitting! Dogs tend to become very comfortable with me right away! I wake up early for walks, and your pup will receive about 3 per day, including lots of ball and toy tosses and tons of love and attention! I live in a condo with a spacious living room for plenty of play and to keep crates and beds. Walks are always leashed. Pups are allowed on the couch and in bed. Snuggles are very important!
“Best Rover experience that I've had to date! Angela, Randall, and family were wonderful. We received a lot of pictures while we were gone and the dogs looked so happy. The backyard is perfect for fur babies, and they received a lot of exercise on wonderful hikes! Our dogs were gassed when we got home and slept like babies. I will definitely book again!”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 10 years old. I love spending time with dogs. I have two kids and a 4 year old frenchy. I’d be happy to take care of your dog. I work from home and I have a flexible schedule. I’m used to going for long walks and runs. I can get along with almost any dog. I don’t mind walking large dogs. For boarding we have a fenced backyard and a safe living room. Our frenchy can keep company to your dog, to keep your dog busy and happy.
“Such a lovely family, they took very good care of our dog and kept us updated along with pics multiple times a day. Our dog was looking happy when we picked him. Highly recommend Yu-Shu.”
“Svetlana always takes amazing care of our Luna! We know that Luna loves staying with her and is treated like part of the family. She sends regular updates and has been extremely accommodating with our schedule.”
“I booked Houda and her family for my wedding weekend. I have 2 cats and they did so good with them! I loved that they were completely separate from any other animals and I didn’t have to worry about them. They took care of them as they were their own. 10/10 sweetest family!”
“Cindy was so great with Enzo! She kept me updated on how he was around other dogs, let me know how he did on walks and informed me that he was doing great. I really appreciated the fact that she had some background with training dogs and understood that my dog could get vocal and that it wasn’t a sign of aggression. Enzo was very happy after staying with her and I will definitely be reaching out to her again :)”
“Nicholas and Sarah took amazing care of our Golden Retriever. They asked all the right questions beforehand, which immediately gave us a great feeling. Throughout her stay, they sent multiple pictures and videos, and we could tell she felt right at home. They’re warm, thoughtful, and truly caring sitters. We’ll definitely reach out to them again!”
“Max had a great time at Marcus’s home. You can tell they love dogs and know a lot about them. He enjoyed playing and walks and was in a great mood when I picked him up. Bonus is that Marcus has great kids that are also loving and playful with dogs so Max got a lot of attention. I really feel like I found a wonderful regular caretaker for Max and really appreciate Marcus.”
“Sameer and his family, took wonderful care of our two labradoodle pups just two weeks after they were spayed. We enjoyed seeing the videos of our pups playing and having a good time while we were away on our trip. We are so happy to have found a terrific family to safely care for our pups when we have trips in the future! Thank you Sameer!”
“I was grateful for Jennifer for taking Toby on a short notice. Our pup enjoyed the slumber party with her daughters. Beautiful home with a big backyard where he can roam around safely. He enjoyed the walk with their dog, Arnold. He felt right at home with her family as I see on her photos she sent me. I could tell Toby felt good and calm as we left her house. I’m glad I found her. I’ll definitely use her again. I appreciate you Rover to have found Jennifer and her wonderful family! ❤️”
About: I have been a proud dog parent to my German Shepherd, which gave me hands-on experience caring for a large, intelligent, and high-energy breed. Through these years, I handled daily walks, feeding schedules, grooming, training reinforcement, and lots of playtime and companionship. Caring for a German Shepherd taught me the importance of structure, patience, exercise, and positive reinforcement. I understand how much love, attention, and consistency dogs need to feel safe and happy. I truly love dogs and treat every pet as if they were my own — with care, responsibility, and plenty of affection. Since I work from home, I’m able to spend most of my day with the pets I care for, giving them plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I work from home, so dogs receive constant supervision, attention, and care throughout the day. My home has a spacious 12,000 sq. ft. backyard, including a separate fenced area for safe outdoor play and exercise. I provide a calm, secure, and loving environment where every dog is treated like family. 🐾
