“Great experience! The sitter was kind, reliable, and very attentive to my dog’s needs. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind. My dog came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I highly recommend her service and will definitely book again!”
“Im so glad we found them. They took such good care of our Lola. Sent us alot of updates of her. And in the pictures i could see that she was really enjoying herself. When we come again to California we will definitely keep them in mind.”
“Patricia was so great with my Teddy! I never felt worried once while I was away on my trip. She sent me photo updates and every time he looked so comfy and content. I appreciate the one on one time Patricia gave to my pup and couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my first time using Rover.”
“Eunice was wonderful with our puppy. This was our first time using Rover and Oakley being a puppy, we were nervous leaving him. Eunice was super sweet and patient with Oakley during the entire stay. Eunice sent detailed updates and pictures throughout his stay. She was also very patient and understanding even when Oakley was anxious and scared causing him to act out of character. She kept Oakley active with walks and socialization with other dogs and Oakley got plenty of petting and affection.”
“I found myself needing a dog sitter for my two dogs (1 timu terrier and one chunky chihuahua) for a 10 day stretch with only about four days notice after another sitter flaked on me. I booked Mollie and she contacted me right away to confirm discuss the details. It was very easy to set up. Drop off was very easy. She asked how frequently I wanted updates and I told her once a day is totally fine. She followed through with updates and pictures every day without me needing to ask, I could tell from her updates that they were acting like they do at home, so I had great peace of mind the whole time I was gone that they were in good hands. When I got back, pick up was likewise super easy. The dogs were happy and healthy, and the next time I need a sitter, Mollie will definitely be my first call.”
“My dog always comes home so happy and content after being in Nickole's care :) She's always great about updating me throughout the stay. I'm never worried as I know he's is in good hands!”
“Once again had an amazing experience with Bennie & Jennie. Received lots of photo and text updates so we knew how both of our cats were doing during our short weekend trip. Even with one of our cats taking a while to get comfortable being away from us, we knew they were both well taken care of during their stay.”
“So glad we found Monica. If you are looking for a sitter who has that 6th sense, look no further. We are extremely picky when it comes to our pup so we want him to be in good hands. We can rest assured that whenever he’s with Monica, he’s in great hands.”
“Our pups were so happy staying with Diana. She did a fantastic job caring for them. Our vacation was so enjoyable knowing what good hands our Kane and Kobe were in. Diana sent pictures, walked the pups and showed them so much love. We highly recommend Diana and we will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Wendi was an actual dream. She set up the meet and greet and was able to come through at the last minute when someone else bailed. She worked with my dogs unique personality, sent me lots of pictures and let me know what was going on with him. I felt like my dog was safe with her, and LOVED! Really I can’t be happier with the experience.”
“Thavery always takes good care of our Hazel! She sends us updates, pictures and videos. We appreciate her watching her this memorial weekend. Will always ask her again as long as she's available”
“Oscar was an amazing, responsible dog sitter to my two dogs. We met prior to the dates so they would be more comfortable with him. During their stay with him, we were in constant contact, so I knew they were in good hands. He was sending videos, pics, and texts to let me know how they were doing. They had plenty of walks and play time. When I picked them up, Oscar described my dogs' personalities and behavior like he knew them for years. He was so attentive and caring to them. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dog sitter. I will definitely be reaching out to him the next time I need a sitter!”
“Absolutely wonderful sitter for our puppy! We will definitely use her services again. She sent us picture updates and was very flexible with our availability! So trustworthy and kind!”
“Victoria watched our dog Betsy for a weekend while we were out of town and everything went smoothly! Betsy was very comfortable and Victoria maintained communication daily to give us updates on her! She followed the schedule provided and took wonderfully care of Betsy!”
“Our 7yr old mini schnauzer LOVES Al and Dody! He is treated like a member of their family. He looks forward to seeing them and misses them when he leaves. We don't use any other Rover sitter and truly appreciate finding a great match for our fur baby. If your pup does better with one-on-one human attention instead of a kennel/boarding environment, then book early for Al - he is one of the best sitters in Orange County.”
“Bridget was absolutely incredible with our boy! She and her family were so kind and caring, and updated us with lots of photos and videos. Our dog unexpectedly fell sick, and she not only immediately notified us, but took him to the emergency vet within minutes. She felt comfortable caring for him at home and he recovered well with her. Our dog became part of the family with her, and we would not hesitate to ask Bridget to watch him again in the future. She is an absolute gem!”
“Rebecca is the best! From the meet and greet to Gimli’s first stay, I could tell she was great. She communicated well, gave daily updates, and let me know when there were issues.”
“Bernard and Hung did a great job taking care of Chester! They were very flexible and communicative with us, sending updates and pictures. Chester seemed like he had a fun time under their care and was dropped back off to us on time, safe and sound :)”
About: I had one Abyssinian and Ragdoll cat before, so I know how to take care of those cats. I will do everything that makes the cat comfortable and happy. I am available everyday after 3 pm. I can make special schedule based on your needs. I am flexible during weekends as well. Thank you I have everything needed to provide a safe and cozy environment for cats. I have things like cat litter, brushes, wet foods, cat toys, and air filters.
About: I have loved dogs my whole life, but I did not realize how deep that love could be until I adopted my first dog, Flynn, 11 years ago. He was a 90lb German Shepherd with reactivity towards other dogs, which led me down the path of learning everything I could about canine behavior and training. I have taken multiple dog training classes focused on positive reinforcement techniques and have used tools such as clicker training, prong collars, and e-collars. I learned how to navigate situations in which Flynn was reactive, making sure I had full control of a very strong dog at all times. I raised Flynn from 8 weeks old (puppy shark phase) to his calmer senior years. The challenges I faced with Flynn taught me how to read canine body language, manage reactivity, and handle high energy, strong dogs with patience and love. After losing Flynn, I thought I could never get another dog again, but come February 2024, I welcomed 7-week-old GSD mix Artemis (Artie) into my life. It has been a completely different training experience in much more challenging ways. From potty training to crate training and leash manners, she has tested everything I have learned (and helped me learn more). Every challenge and every puppy shark bite has been completely worth it. She is now thriving and continues to learn thanks to consistency, structure, and ongoing enrichment. I also have hands-on experience with senior dog care. I started caring for our elderly family dog (Socrates) after my father passed away 4 years ago. He is now a 14-year-old Dachshund Terrier mix with limited mobility and some incontinence. I provide daily care, including hygiene and administering medication, and provide a clean, comforting environment to support his quality of life. He is getting a lot of treats and love in my care. My goal is to build trust and communication to maintain a safe environment for dogs and others. Whether your dog is a puppy in training, a reactive adult, or a senior who needs special attention, I bring patience and knowledgeable care. Every dog is different, and I take the time to get to know what makes yours special. I'd love to meet them and offer care you can trust. My life revolves around my sweet pup, Artemis (aka Artie). This means that besides work and taking care of her needs, I am quite open. I work remotely some days and can drop in on your babies during the day or in the evenings. On the weekends my availability is wide open. Building trust through consistent communication is important to me. Since I know that every dog is different, I understand each has individual needs and am eager to learn them. As a dog owner, I also understand how important it is for someone who is caring for your dog to know your dog and know what they need (I'm the type who writes a whole manual for any sitter). In my home, I have a senior dog who likes his alone time and an energetic, young GSD mix dog. For daycare, your pups can interact as little or as much as appropriate. I also have a small fenced yard where I can play with the dogs.

“Chelsea was great watching my cat Jasper :) he's pretty shy, can be cranky, and keeps to himself but he warmed up to Chelsea pretty quickly. Chelsea sent great updates and pictures so that comforted me to know that my cat was in good hands 😊 Thanks Chelsea! I'll definitely use you again next time we are out of town!”
About: I’ve cared for pets of all kinds for several years, including dogs, cats, and small animals. My experience includes feeding, walking, administering basic care, and maintaining consistent routines. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels, and I always focus on creating a calm, safe, and positive environment for them. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate consistent time and attention to pet care throughout the week. I’m available for daily visits, walks, and boarding, including weekends and evenings. I prioritize reliability and make sure each pet gets the time, exercise, and care they need based on their routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities.

Whether in my home or yours, I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, supervised, and well cared for at all times.
About: I’ve had cats my entire life (about 28 years), so I’m very comfortable with different personalities, behaviors, and routines. I understand that cats can be independent but also need patience, gentle care, and a calm environment to feel safe. I’m experienced with feeding routines, litter box care, playtime, and making sure cats feel comfortable while their owners are away. I’m also very attentive and will send regular photo and video updates so you always know your cat is doing well.
“Mahaam saved me in a pinch with our new kitty, Mochi. She was communicative, reliable and knowledgeable. A very positive experience and i look forward to working with Mahaam again.”
“Vanessa is wonderful to work with. This is our second time working with her and my babies LOVE her. Always on time and sent lots of pictures :)) we appreciate her help so much!!”
“Yichen was an amazing cat sitter! She took great care of our three kitties, one of which is disabled and has special care requirements. Her updates were also super detailed which I really appreciated as an anxious cat mom. I highly recommend Yichen for any pet sitting needs!”
“Kristen has been absolutely amazing! My cat is my baby and I was definitely nervous leaving him the first time but she has been extremely attentive, sends pictures every day, and is very responsive whenever I have sent her questions. Definitely gives peace of mind when I am out of town!”
About: I’m a big cat person as well! We recently rescued another kitty after losing our last one. Our newest addition battled a 2 month long respiratory infection so I’m well equipped to administer any medication your cat may need too. You can trust me to clean litter boxes thoroughly and provide plenty of love to your furry baby❤️
About: I’m the friend who always gets the "can you watch my dog?" call because I’ve been around pups of all shapes and sizes since I was five. That lifetime of experience means I’m just as comfortable keeping up with a rambunctious puppy as I am providing a calm, gentle environment for a sweet senior who needs a little extra patience. Pet care fits perfectly into my active lifestyle. My days already revolve around long walks and staying moving, so your pup becomes my dedicated plus-one for every adventure. My schedule is flexible, and when I’m with your pet, they are my main priority—I treat their routine with the same care and focus I give my own. I treat your home and your pet with the same respect I’d want for my own. Whether we're hanging out at my place or yours, I focus on creating a secure, "paws-on" environment where routines are followed strictly so your pet feels safe. I’m all about clear updates and total transparency, so you can relax knowing they’re in good, experienced hands.
“Ashley was amazing with my cats. You can tell she genuinely cares about animals and pays attention to the little details. She kept me updated with photos and messages, and I felt super at ease knowing they were with someone reliable and caring. My cats warmed up to her quickly, which honestly says a lot. Everything was smooth, stress-free, and I came home to very happy cats. Would definitely book with her again”

“Jenny absolutely goes above and beyond! My cat is a skittish little guy who I didn't expect to come out from under the bed, but she managed to make him comfortable enough to say hi. So impressed!”

“Ning is very sweet and sends you multiple updates per day of your pup! She’s very caring and I can tell my dog had a great time staying with her! Would definitely book with her again.”
“Hanah and Dabin are the best daycare provider I have met so far. They are friendly, responsible, and punctual. They took our Peanut for walks multiple times a day and sent us lots of pictures and updates. I truly appreciate the care and attention they gave him. I’d strongly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy daycare provider.”
“Amazing experience sending Tony to daycare with Morgan! Tony was so well taken care of and clearly felt comfortable right away. We loved getting updates and seeing how he was doing throughout the day. He came home happy which was all we could ask for. We’d 100% book again!”

“Monica was absolutely amazing with our previous sensitive little guy. Monica put an anxious fur baby Mums mind at ease and kept me updated about how much fun Bailey was having! Monica also gave Bailey lots of cuddles which he loves. Bailey will definitely be back! I could not rate Monica’s care any higher. Thank you!!!”
“Emma had a great time at Patricia's house. She was very relaxed and happy when I picked her up. Patricia lives a very short drive from the Costa Mesa Fairgrounds so if you are attending an all-day event there and don't want to have to worry about leaving your furry friend to fend for themselves all day, I highly recommend leaving your pet with Patricia. She is knowledgeable about dogs and very conscientious, having gone the extra mile to ensure that Emma was not able to get to any other animal's food (since Emma has food allergies). Patricia also texted me pics during the day of Emma enjoying her walk, which further helped to make my day more enjoyable by putting my mind at ease. I will not hesitate to book with Patricia again the next time I'm in the area!”
“My dog Birdie loves Leilani! She gets so excited to pull up to her home on daycare days! I can tell she is made to feel comfortable and at home on days that I work all day. :-)”
“Bailey was awesome! She was very kind and assuring that my little dog, JJ, would be in good hands. She definitely put me at ease and stayed in touch to let me know JJ was ok. I highly recommend Bailey if you need someone reliable and especially someone who obviously loves dogs!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog received! From the moment we dropped him off, it was clear he was in safe, loving hands. Our sitter was incredibly attentive, patient, and treated him like part of the family. We got regular updates, photos, and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It’s not easy to trust someone with your fur baby, but I feel completely confident with this sitter and will definitely book again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a responsible, kind, and reliable dog sitter! 🐶❤️”
About: What sets me apart is that I’ve had animals my entire life and currently care for two dogs (ages 3 and 10) and a cat (age 7). I’ve had my pets since they were puppies and a kitten, so I’m very familiar with caring for animals at every stage of life — from young and active to senior pets who need extra attention and patience. I have hands-on experience administering medications, including giving pills and applying daily eye drops for senior dogs. I understand how important it is to be gentle, patient, and consistent when caring for pets with specific needs. In addition to caring for my own pets, I regularly help friends and neighbors by checking in on their dogs and cats, so I’m comfortable adapting to new environments, routines, and personalities. I’m very attentive and communicative, and I make sure to send plenty of photo and video updates so you always feel comfortable and know your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. I treat every pet like my own and focus on keeping them on their normal routine while giving them lots of attention and care. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine since I care for my own dogs and cat every day. I’m used to early mornings, evening routines, feeding schedules, walks, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I currently have open availability and can accommodate visits throughout the day. Once my work schedule begins, I’ll update my availability weekly and remain available for early mornings and evenings. I’m very reliable with communication and always make sure your pets are well cared for before and after my shifts. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and care in your home. I do my best to stay flexible and adjust to your pet’s routine whenever possible. For cats, I’m happy to check in as often as needed to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I’m very mindful of weather and safety — I avoid walking dogs during high heat and always adjust timing to keep them safe and happy. You can count on consistent, dependable care and regular updates so you always know your pet is in good hands 🤍 In my home, I provide a safe, calm, and comfortable environment. I live in a clean two-bedroom apartment, and visiting pets stay in the main living area where I can keep a close eye on them at all times. I have multiple cozy beds and can provide crates if needed for smaller dogs or for pets who are crate-trained. I also have two friendly dogs — one who loves to play and one who is more relaxed — so I’m able to match different energy levels depending on your dog’s personality. I always prioritize safe introductions and make sure every pet feels comfortable. I focus on keeping pets active, engaged, and happy through walks, playtime, and mental stimulation using toys or activities you provide. I also make sure to follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, preferred walking times, and any special instructions. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect your space and maintain your pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and supervision. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority, and I treat every pet like my own.
About: I am now fully available for your pet care needs!! I’ve cared for dogs my entire life. From our family pets, to finally getting my own almost 20 years ago! I now have 2 rescue dogs. I am experienced with high maintenance medical needs, as well as high energy pups. I am the go to babysitter & walker for my friends and friends of friends! I foster and volunteered through a local shelter many different dogs all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. I grew up with English Mastiffs, so big dogs don’t intimidate me at all! I love every dog I meet! My most commonly used phrase is definitely, “Can I say hi to your dog?” :) Dog sitting/walking is my only gig right now, and I am a mom to my kiddo full time. My schedule is very flexible, with lots of weekday availability, and some weekend availability, too! I have two friendly rescue dogs of my own (one medium-large mix, one pocket beagle), and love to walk them or take them to our on-property dog park!
“This was my first time having a dog sitter & Rona made me feel very comfortable. She kept me updated throughout the day and took good care of him. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Due to our busy work schedule and long commute, my husband and I had to quickly look for a daycare sitter for our pup. We are so glad to stumble upon Tommy, who is reliable and truly goes above and beyond when taking care of my pup. He kept us updated throughout the day with photos of when our pup is eating, napping, and playing. He even took him out for a run. He even cleaned our pup’s food bowl and water bowl and returned them back at the end of the day. What an amazing experience!”
About: I’ve had a love for animals from a very young age, especially dogs. I’ve helped my family take care of many dogs throughout the years and have also helped out friends/neighbors. In my life time, my immediate family has 4 dogs, a rottweiler, an unknown chihuahua mix, and 2 chihuahua/dachshund mix. The two chihuahua/dachshund mixes are still alive but they live in my childhood home where I no longer live but I still help take care of them when needed. I now have a dog of my own, he is a Golden Retriever and his name is Tucker. Tucker is the sweetest dog you’ll ever meet and he loves all people and animals. Although I have lots of experience with dogs, Tucker is the reason I know I would be a reliable and good choice for helping out with your animals. Tucker is the first dog I’ve ever had to take care of on my own and I think I’ve done a pretty good job. Tucker has also taught me to be responsible and dependable because unfortunately at just 6 months old he was diagnosed with sub aortic stenosis. If you don’t know what this is, it has to do with his heart, so it is not at all contagious! I wanted to include this because since he was diagnosed I’ve had to take extra good care of him and make sure he receives his medication twice a day. So I would also be a good choice if your dog is in need of medication. I hope you choose me to look after your animals! I’m currently a student-athlete who is available full-time because I have the summer completely off. I would be able to care for your pet any time of the day. This could include just dropping in to check on them, taking them on walks, going to the dog park, or staying with them over night. If you are in need of me watching your pet for multiple days, our days would include multiple walks a day and some dog park play if that is something you would want. I live in an apartment with a small balcony and a super friendly golden retriever. Although I don’t have a yard, your dog would still get lots of outside play! I often take my dog on a short walk every hour or so, and at least two longer walks every day. We also sometimes go to the dog park. I would be able to accommodate to any needs of your dog and will follow any rules or expectations given to me!

“They were very patient and understanding with my super anxious new pup, and had a lot of systems in place to slowly get him used their home environment. Really appreciate their willingness to continue on working with him to get him more comfortable, become a more confident pup, and other trainings!”
About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely care about every pet as if they were my own. I focus on providing reliable, attentive care, making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or overnight sitting, I pay attention to each pet’s unique needs and keep owners updated for peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home, and my partner is home by early afternoon each day, which gives us both the flexibility to provide attentive, reliable care. Because of our schedules, pets are never left alone and receive plenty of companionship, supervision, exercise, and affection throughout the day. We genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were part of our own family. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my priority is maintaining their normal routine and ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I follow all instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medication requirements, and any special preferences or restrictions. In my home, pets receive plenty of attention, supervision, exercise, and affection throughout the day. I provide a clean, safe, and welcoming environment where they can relax and feel at ease. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and work to keep their pet’s routine as consistent as possible to minimize stress. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy and in good hands.

Taking care of pet is my lovely duty ever. I’m currently work from home everyday, I have lots of time to take care of and walk your baby. I accept one dog per time, so if your furry baby needs attention or needs to stay along, my place will be good fit. Since I no longer have a dog myself, my place will be only on boarding your furry baby. It’s apartment style, and rug on floor to protect their joins when they run around.

“Mark was nothing short of amazing. From communication to effort to just his love for our dog Bubbles. Bubbles is a large dog and can be a handful and Mark was patient, caring and we had complete trust in him and his abilities. We 100% recommend and will use his services again in the future.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and now have one of my own! My dog is everything to me and I will love and care for yours the same!

Plenty of time to get outside and play :) My place is pet friendly and can accommodate any special needs/set up (crate, bed, ect). I live by plenty of safe trails and walkable areas, so we can get our steps in!
About: I’m the friend who always gets the "can you watch my dog?" call because I’ve been around pups of all shapes and sizes since I was five. That lifetime of experience means I’m just as comfortable keeping up with a rambunctious puppy as I am providing a calm, gentle environment for a sweet senior who needs a little extra patience. Pet care fits perfectly into my active lifestyle. My days already revolve around long walks and staying moving, so your pup becomes my dedicated plus-one for every adventure. My schedule is flexible, and when I’m with your pet, they are my main priority—I treat their routine with the same care and focus I give my own. I treat your home and your pet with the same respect I’d want for my own. Whether we're hanging out at my place or yours, I focus on creating a secure, "paws-on" environment where routines are followed strictly so your pet feels safe. I’m all about clear updates and total transparency, so you can relax knowing they’re in good, experienced hands.

It is important to me that they are prioritized and enriched from their activities with me

“Doug was seriously a lifesaver for our dog Tony while we went on vacation! We were able to fully relax knowing Doug had taken on all the responsibilities for Tony! He was always on time for his walks. We learned from Doug about training and tricks for Tony! He wrote very detailed reports every single day that we were excited to read!! Doug was reliable, friendly, and thoughtful during the whole time we were gone with phenomenal communication! Doug is a fantastic dog walker that we can fully trust and feel comfortable while we were away! We highly recommend Doug for all your animal’s needs ! We will be requesting Doug again and again!”

“Great experience! The sitter was kind, reliable, and very attentive to my dog’s needs. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind. My dog came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I highly recommend her service and will definitely book again!”
“Im so glad we found them. They took such good care of our Lola. Sent us alot of updates of her. And in the pictures i could see that she was really enjoying herself. When we come again to California we will definitely keep them in mind.”
“Patricia was so great with my Teddy! I never felt worried once while I was away on my trip. She sent me photo updates and every time he looked so comfy and content. I appreciate the one on one time Patricia gave to my pup and couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my first time using Rover.”
“Eunice was wonderful with our puppy. This was our first time using Rover and Oakley being a puppy, we were nervous leaving him. Eunice was super sweet and patient with Oakley during the entire stay. Eunice sent detailed updates and pictures throughout his stay. She was also very patient and understanding even when Oakley was anxious and scared causing him to act out of character. She kept Oakley active with walks and socialization with other dogs and Oakley got plenty of petting and affection.”
“I found myself needing a dog sitter for my two dogs (1 timu terrier and one chunky chihuahua) for a 10 day stretch with only about four days notice after another sitter flaked on me. I booked Mollie and she contacted me right away to confirm discuss the details. It was very easy to set up. Drop off was very easy. She asked how frequently I wanted updates and I told her once a day is totally fine. She followed through with updates and pictures every day without me needing to ask, I could tell from her updates that they were acting like they do at home, so I had great peace of mind the whole time I was gone that they were in good hands. When I got back, pick up was likewise super easy. The dogs were happy and healthy, and the next time I need a sitter, Mollie will definitely be my first call.”
“My dog always comes home so happy and content after being in Nickole's care :) She's always great about updating me throughout the stay. I'm never worried as I know he's is in good hands!”
“So glad we found Monica. If you are looking for a sitter who has that 6th sense, look no further. We are extremely picky when it comes to our pup so we want him to be in good hands. We can rest assured that whenever he’s with Monica, he’s in great hands.”
“Absolutely wonderful sitter for our puppy! We will definitely use her services again. She sent us picture updates and was very flexible with our availability! So trustworthy and kind!”
“Victoria watched our dog Betsy for a weekend while we were out of town and everything went smoothly! Betsy was very comfortable and Victoria maintained communication daily to give us updates on her! She followed the schedule provided and took wonderfully care of Betsy!”
“Bridget was absolutely incredible with our boy! She and her family were so kind and caring, and updated us with lots of photos and videos. Our dog unexpectedly fell sick, and she not only immediately notified us, but took him to the emergency vet within minutes. She felt comfortable caring for him at home and he recovered well with her. Our dog became part of the family with her, and we would not hesitate to ask Bridget to watch him again in the future. She is an absolute gem!”
“Rebecca is the best! From the meet and greet to Gimli’s first stay, I could tell she was great. She communicated well, gave daily updates, and let me know when there were issues.”
“Bernard and Hung did a great job taking care of Chester! They were very flexible and communicative with us, sending updates and pictures. Chester seemed like he had a fun time under their care and was dropped back off to us on time, safe and sound :)”
About: I have loved dogs my whole life, but I did not realize how deep that love could be until I adopted my first dog, Flynn, 11 years ago. He was a 90lb German Shepherd with reactivity towards other dogs, which led me down the path of learning everything I could about canine behavior and training. I have taken multiple dog training classes focused on positive reinforcement techniques and have used tools such as clicker training, prong collars, and e-collars. I learned how to navigate situations in which Flynn was reactive, making sure I had full control of a very strong dog at all times. I raised Flynn from 8 weeks old (puppy shark phase) to his calmer senior years. The challenges I faced with Flynn taught me how to read canine body language, manage reactivity, and handle high energy, strong dogs with patience and love. After losing Flynn, I thought I could never get another dog again, but come February 2024, I welcomed 7-week-old GSD mix Artemis (Artie) into my life. It has been a completely different training experience in much more challenging ways. From potty training to crate training and leash manners, she has tested everything I have learned (and helped me learn more). Every challenge and every puppy shark bite has been completely worth it. She is now thriving and continues to learn thanks to consistency, structure, and ongoing enrichment. I also have hands-on experience with senior dog care. I started caring for our elderly family dog (Socrates) after my father passed away 4 years ago. He is now a 14-year-old Dachshund Terrier mix with limited mobility and some incontinence. I provide daily care, including hygiene and administering medication, and provide a clean, comforting environment to support his quality of life. He is getting a lot of treats and love in my care. My goal is to build trust and communication to maintain a safe environment for dogs and others. Whether your dog is a puppy in training, a reactive adult, or a senior who needs special attention, I bring patience and knowledgeable care. Every dog is different, and I take the time to get to know what makes yours special. I'd love to meet them and offer care you can trust. My life revolves around my sweet pup, Artemis (aka Artie). This means that besides work and taking care of her needs, I am quite open. I work remotely some days and can drop in on your babies during the day or in the evenings. On the weekends my availability is wide open. Building trust through consistent communication is important to me. Since I know that every dog is different, I understand each has individual needs and am eager to learn them. As a dog owner, I also understand how important it is for someone who is caring for your dog to know your dog and know what they need (I'm the type who writes a whole manual for any sitter). In my home, I have a senior dog who likes his alone time and an energetic, young GSD mix dog. For daycare, your pups can interact as little or as much as appropriate. I also have a small fenced yard where I can play with the dogs.
“My dog Apollo had a great time staying with JK! He was well entertained while I was away and when my dog’s old harness broke they even had an extra one for him to use. I would let Apollo stay with them anytime!”
“Laura was the best Rover sitter we’ve had! She was so reliable, prepared, and also amazing at updates and fun photos. Between the sprinkler pad, long walls and runs, all the treats, and cuddle time they were spoiled rotten. Thank you for taking such fantastic care of my pups!”
“We loved Sunny! The name says it all! The friendliest sitter ever! Love her kindness. My dog is high energy and very needy and she kept up with mj (dog) Very good at updating on how the pup is doin and sending pictures is always a very good bonus! The real deal! And even watched our pup on a very important holiday (hard to find) Thank you Sunny! Much appreciated! ???”
“Croissant was really happy staying with Sungjin! He was prompt with replies and active in updating us with her walks and how she’s been doing, so we feel really at ease leaving our babygirl with Sungjin. Thank you so much for your love in taking care of her!”
“This was my first time boarding my dog with Kelli, and I'll definitely board with her again! Kelli was very responsive, which was great given my boarding request being such short notice. She sent me pics/videos of my pup and updates each day and provided a comfy stay for him, he was a happy camper when I picked him up.”
