“Amelia is wonderful! We were so happy to be able to be away and know that she's taking good care of our pup. The fact that our anxious little dog loves her says it all.”
“I am pretty sure Jeter wants to move in with Leah. A friend who usually sits for Jeter had to cancel with less than a week’s notice and I was worried about how he would do with someone new. I definitely didn’t have to worry. Leah’s home is all about the pups with so many beds, blankets and even a warming pad! I got lots of updates which assured me Jeter had made himself right at home (for better or for worse 😆.) Knowing Jeter was happy, safe and loved in Leah’s care gave us huge peace of mind since we were all the way across the country. He even had a little cav companion which was icing on the cake. If you’re looking for a sitter who is probably as obsessed with your dog as you are, is super communicative and offers a plush puppy palace, Leah is your gal!”
“I have had Joyce watch my chihuahua multiple times and her and her family always do a great job watching my dog! They are great at playing with her, feeding, cuddling, and giving her medication. 10/10 recommend!”
“It was my dog’s first time boarding, so he started anxious. But Sofiya took care of him wonderfully, I think he left with good memory!! Also, thank you for pictures of Sammy with big smile 😊”
“Aleksei and Galina were great sitters for my cockapoo. My dog has some separation anxiety but quickly felt right at home with them. They sent me a summary of how everyday went—usually with lots of walks and cuddles. Would definitely book to watch my dog in the future!”
“Yan took really good care of our cat. She was able to do pick up and drop off, and was flexible with the timings. I really appreciate that she sent daily updates and photos, which allowed us to have peace of mind while we were away. Will book again!”
“Anlin provided excellent care for Maurice. They are attentive and reassuring as Maurice settled into his new surroundings. Maurice warmed up to them quickly, which says a lot about how comfortable and safe Anlin made him feel.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Xeno received! Boris and Olga sent great updates and photos that kept us at ease. Xeno came back super happy and clearly well-rested—we’ll definitely be booking with them again.”
“Yoona and Minjae are amazing with our senior dog Lucky. He gets a ton of stimulation throughout the day, it is a lot of fun for him. He enjoys Buddy as well, they seem like a great pair. We hope to continue booking with them again and again!”
“My dogs seem to have a very relaxing stay at Jerica's place. She has experience with having dogs her self, so she had good understanding of how it is to have dogs at her house which made things very smooth for communicating about how to care for my dogs. I would definitely recommend!”
“This was our first time boarding our puppy and it went well! Soyoung is very sweet and accommodating. She answered all of my questions. Soyoung gave me updates on my baby and also sent pictures. Sky looked happy in all of them. It was nice for our pup to have the company of her pet babies as well. My hubby and I are so glad we found a reliable dog sitter. Thanks for taking great care of our Sky!”
“For the two weeks boarding, Rachel and the family were so amazing that I really enjoyed my vacation without worrying about my fluffy buddy. I received lots of great pictures and all indicated my buddy was happy and relaxed everyday. My fluffy buddy seemed to have a great vacation too.”
“Qi took amazing care of our dogs, Pebbles and Luna, while we were away. Both of our girls are on the anxious side, so finding someone we trust is incredibly important. Qi was patient, attentive, and made them feel comfortable and cared for. We also appreciated how thoughtfully she manages the dogs in her care. Even though she watches multiple dogs, she carefully groups dogs that get along well and makes sure everyone has a safe, positive experience. Her home is very clean and well-maintained, which gave us additional peace of mind. Qi was also fantastic with communication, sending frequent photos and videos so we could see how Pebbles and Luna were doing. We always felt informed and reassured. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
“Li-Ting did an amazing job taking care of our boy while we were out of town! She sent numerous daily videos and photos with detailed updates of his walks and play dates with FaCai. She also took the time to brush him daily so his fur remained silky smooth. I won’t hesitate to book Li-Ting again as she provides a safe home away from home for our boy.”
“I boarded my pup with Jennifer and Andrew for a few days. Since this was the first time they set up a couple of meetups and gradually introduced themselves, their place and Clover to my pup. Jennifer communicated perfectly throughout and sent regular photos and detailed updates. They were very flexible with our schedule for pick up and drop off. Our pup really enjoyed staying with them and got along well with Clover. They took her on multiple outings, while ensuring she was safe at all times.”
“She has been very supportive and my dog was very well taken care of. She made sure she shared all the videos and photos every single day. It was great stay for my dog.”
“Dave and Anna provided excellent care for our Maltese, Aspen, over the 10 days we were away. They were highly responsive, answering all our questions promptly and thoroughly. During Aspen's stay, Dave and Anna sent daily updates with photos and videos, which reassured us. They took Aspen on regular walks and found creative ways to feed her despite her picky eating habits. Aspen was well-cared for, ensuring she was well-fed, exercised, and happy. They even let Aspen sleep on their bed, treating her like their own kid and making her feel right at home. When our flight was delayed, Dave and Anna were incredibly accommodating, taking care of Aspen for an additional day without any hassle. Their home was clean and safe, and Aspen seemed to enjoy her time with them and their other pets. We highly recommend Dave and Anna for their attentive and professional pet-sitting services.”
“If I could rate Yazmin 10 stars, I would. She was an amazing dog sitter to my miniature dachshund, Honey. We met beforehand to introduce her dog (super sweet and gentle) to mine and they got along fine. Yazmin asked all the right questions about Honeys feeding schedule, potty/walk schedule, and administered Honeys medication with her meals. She sent updates and pictures and I felt like Honey was in great hands while I was gone. She was loved as if she was Yazmin’s and cared for beautifully. I already booked her again for another stay in her home. If you want care and kindness and love for you pup, Yazmin is your girl. 12/10, one of one, exceptional dog sitter. Flowers for you girl. 💐”
“Hands down one of the best Rovers I’ve used. Very communicative and friendly, great stimulation for my dog while I was away on an extended trip. Would highly recommend to anyone that wants their pet to have the utmost care and love while away from home. A+ and an easy 5 star rating.”
“Karen is a fabulous sitter! She double checked to make sure the our pups had everything they needed! She watched our dogs for a whole week while we were out of the country and felt completely at ease with Karen taking care of them! Good communicator, takes dogs on walks and to the park, has a backyard and their own friendly dog Astro! I know our pups will miss them - until next time!”

“Highly recommend! She was incredibly detailed and responsible throughout the entire process. She even came over ahead of time for a meet-and-greet to familiarize herself with the entry process, which gave me great peace of mind. During the visits, she strictly followed all instructions to check on my two cats and provided very thorough, detailed updates and photos. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my babies!”
“Maya and I are both so happy with Suzanne’s care while I was out of town for a long weekend. She made sure all of Maya’s needs were taken care of (food, water, medication, etc), but she also spent time giving her company, attention, and love while I was away. Since Maya is a senior kitty, it was especially reassuring to know she was in such caring hands. Suzanne gave me real peace of mind, and I never had to worry about how Maya was doing while I was gone. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and dependable cat sitter.”
“We had a great experience with Hsuan-Chu. She took such good care of our cats and really spent time playing with them, which they loved. Clove is usually pretty shy and nervous around new people, but she actually felt comfortable with Hsuan-Chu and even warmed up to her, which meant a lot to us. Cumin also enjoyed spending time with her and clearly had a great time playing. Communication was easy, we always got thoughtful updates, and we could tell they were both happy and well cared for. We’d definitely book with her again.”
About: I am a reliable and caring cat sitter who treats every cat like my own. I am comfortable caring for kittens, adult cats, and senior cats while following their routines and special needs. My goal is to keep your cat safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away.
“Liya did a great job cat sitting my boys. They both seemed to enjoy her company very much. I didn't need to worry about them while on vacation because she sent updates and pictures regularly. Would definitely book Liya again next time. Thanks!”
About: I adopted my kitten, Sailor, 8 months ago, and am excited to spend more time with cats! I volunteered at an animal shelter, where I gained experience with both affectionate and more independent cats, and I always adjust my approach to what each one needs.
“SoYoung has been an amazing caretaker for my cat during my business trip. She was extremely thoughtful, on time and has an amazing attention to detail. My cat loves her.”
“Keilah was such a great sitter. She was very quick to respond, very accommodating, and spent plenty of time making sure the pups were entertained while she dropped in for the hour. Definitely would book again!”
“Charlene has provided an excellent service. We needed some help with our kitty who had to get food and medication twice a day. Charlene took care of several drop-in visits, the kitty trusted her right away, food, medication, water and litter box were taken care of, AND she got some play time in as well! Getting information about each drop in visit and the photos allowed us to enjoy our time away without stress. Well done!”
“Mary is an amazing cat sitter , she stayed more than the 30 minutes I paid for and went above and beyond to make sure my cat was comfortable and well cared for while I was away .I would 💯 percent recommend her”
“I so appreciate Anna dropping in on my cats during my week-long trip! They’re shy cats but warmed up to her quickly and I loved knowing they were getting treats and pets and overall well-taken care of 🩵”
About: Excited to enjoy times with cutie friends. I have two cats at home, adopted from back yard. As an owner of two FIV+ cats, I don’t just love animals—I deeply understand the level of trust, vigilance, and care it takes to keep them safe and thriving. Caring for immune-compromised cats means my standards for hygiene, routine adherence, and health monitoring are incredibly high. Whether your pet requires a strict medical schedule, an immaculate environment, or just a gentle, patient soul who respects their boundaries, I bring a level of empathy and attentiveness to every visit. Your pets aren't just getting a feeder; they are getting someone who treats their well-being with the absolute highest priority.
“Can’t thank Gabriela enough for staying with my cat Luci for the weekend. This is the first time I ever had to be away from my cat Luci for more than a few hours. I had to make a last minute plan, and reached out to cat sitters around my area via Rover. Gabriela was quick to reach out and scheduled a meet and greet. She understood the feeding instructions and other details about my cat’s routine and assured me of proper care. Throughout the duration of my trip, Gabriela was very responsive and provided me with constant updates and pictures of Luci. When o reached home, Gabriela had left the house tidy and clean, but the best part was that my cat was content and I felt like I never left the house. Would highly recommend Gabriela for her great communication and pet care.”
“Momo was having a good buddy playtime with two other cats, Afu and Sonia. They took sometime to mingle but eventually Momo felt so comfortable and relaxed like home. Yiping was also sending 3-6 pictures everyday so to assure me. It was great to see how Momo was adapting and spending time with other kids. Thank you.”
“Jenifer did a great job taking care of our two cats while we were out of the country, we would certainly use her help again for future trips. She was also very responsive and made sure to get some good pictures of the cats while we were away.”
“Damian was a great sitter for our two kitties, Lizzie and Mei Mei. He stayed at our house for 10 days and was very responsive, providing daily check ins, as well as extremely punctual and professional. We will definitely be reaching out to him next time we need cat sitting! The cats were comfortable and so happy when we got back.”
“Channing was great with our two shy kitties. She went over and above what we asked her to help out with and left our house cleaner than when we left! I would definitely use Channing again.”

“Brian and Emi helped Mochi felt comfortable by playing with him since it was his first time there. Teddy is adorable and is nice to share all his toys, especially his glow in the dark ball. He was sleeping in a car on our way home. Must be be tired from a fun day. 😊”
“Jie and her partner were so great with Kaio!!! He is usually very shy but he immediately looked at home with them. He even played with their sweet Shiba Inu! I really appreciated all the updates and pictures as well. Thank you!!!”

“I dropped off my puppy with Soyoung in May for doggy daycare. I can tell Soyoung is wonderful with dogs. Nico, my puppy, went to her with no hesitation. Soyoung kept me updated on his day and sent me photos. I felt very relieved that Nico was enjoying his time with her. He seemed very happy when I picked him up. I had left a few of Nico's items at Soyoung's home, so she offered to deliver them to my home. Nico was super excited to see her when she arrived. After she left, he whimpered at my front door. :) I will definitely book Soyoung again to care for Nico.”
“Ru and family are very nice and warm with dogs. She has a dog as well and knows how to handle one very well. She requested a meet and greet to ensure Gabbar and her dog got along. She timely sent pictures and updates for Gabbar and followed his schedule through. She had a neighbors dog come along to her place when gabbar was there for a play date and Gabbar enjoyed a lot. I would definitely have Ru look over Gabbar again and would recommend others as well.”
About: Beanie is a 1 year old Fluffy Frenchie who adores all animals and would love to hang out with new friends whether it’s during the workday or for a weekend getaway while their paw-rents are away. I’ve been caring for fur babies for over two decades. While I took a break from formal pet sitting during the pandemic, I continued to care for the pets of family and close friends. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs including pups with separation anxiety (we’re big fans of outings together!), picky eaters (yes, hand feeding is on the table), and pets requiring medication (oral or topical). Recently, we welcomed Beanie into our home a sweet little Frenchie who reignited all my dog mom instincts. In just six months, we’ve been through it all: potty training, tummy troubles, ear infections, skin allergies, fleas, and even her first heat cycle. It’s been a wild and joyful ride, and now we’re excited to share the love (and all that experience!) by offering pet sitting services again. If you’ve got kitties, I’m happy to stop by daily for feeding, litter cleaning, play time, and to give them all the love they need. Have a special request? Feel free to message me we’d love to meet you and your furry family! I am a stay at home dog mom. Our schedule includes 6 outings a day with 2 long walks. Beanie gets lots of playtime, cuddles, brain teasers, and training. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours. My apartment is fully puppy proofed and set up with a cozy, safe environment that encourages play, rest, and enrichment. We have a private patio for sunbathing, an on site dog park for quick outings, and plenty of walkable paths nearby for daily exercise. Because Beanie is still a pup, I’m extra mindful of supervision, routines, and creating a calm environment that feels safe and fun for visiting pets. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I stick closely to your instructions, provide detailed updates, and make sure your pet feels loved and well cared for while you're away. I have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and needs including those requiring medication, special diets, or just a little extra TLC. Feel free to share any unique needs I'm happy to accommodate!

About: I’ve had pets for as long as I can remember, so caring for animals has always been part of my everyday life. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and look after their pets while they’re away. So being around animals has always been a natural and joyful part of my life.

I take the time to understand their personality, comfort level, and daily routine so they feel relaxed and safe. Whether that means active walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I adapt to what makes each dog happiest.

I know how important it is to be attentive, observant of their behavior, and communicative with owners so they feel confident and at ease while they’re away. My goal is simple: to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved, while giving you peace of mind through attentive care and regular updates.

About: I have firsthand experience caring for my own beloved Yorkshire Terrier, who, due to health reasons, is currently not with me in the U.S. I really miss him and this is why I want to care for other dogs — we need each other! :) ● I specialize in caring for small (under 20 lbs), vaccinated breeds and have experience providing attentive care for dogs with special health needs, as my own pup has a genetic liver condition and has undergone surgery. ● I understand their emotional needs, such as separation anxiety, and how to ensure they feel safe and loved. ● I promise never to hit them, even if they make big mistakes — just as I wouldn’t want to be treated that way as a human. :) I currently have a flexible schedule and spend most of my time at home, so I can provide plenty of attention and care for your pup. I provide a safe, smoke-free, and child-free home with full-time supervision. My apartment has 24/7 security monitoring and is just a 1-min walk from a large park and a dog park, where I take dogs for daily walks. I ONLY care for ONE dog at a time, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in a stress-free environment.

I felt completely at ease knowing Suki was in such great hands. My pup came home happy, tired, and content, which is always the best sign. I’m so grateful to have found Soojin and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter. Thank you, Soojin!”

About: I’ve had a lifelong love for animals and hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of pets, including fish, dogs, lizards, rabbits, and cats. Over the years, I’ve developed a strong understanding of different pet needs, from maintaining routines to recognizing changes in behavior or health. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve regularly looked after friends’ pets during vacations and work trips throughout my college years. This includes feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, and ensuring pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. What sets me apart is my attentiveness and reliability. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they receive not just proper care, but also attention, patience, and affection. I’m adaptable to different personalities and routines, whether it’s an energetic puppy or a more independent cat. I work from home, so my schedule is pretty flexible, which makes it easy to fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m also really big on living an active lifestyle. I enjoy walking and running regularly, so having a pet actually fits in perfectly with that. It’s great because it keeps both me and the pet active and engaged, and it naturally becomes part of my day rather than feeling like a separate task. I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency in every environment I care for pets in. In my home, I have a secure, fenced yard that allows pets to roam and play safely. I also live in a quiet, pet-friendly neighborhood with nearby parks, which is great for regular walks and exercise. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their established routines as closely as possible to help pets feel comfortable and stress-free. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any specific instructions, including medications or special care. In both settings, I maintain a clean, hazard-free environment, keep a close eye on pets at all times, and make sure they get plenty of attention, supervision, and affection. My goal is to create a safe and trustworthy experience where both pets and owners feel completely at ease.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for my own three dogs since they were puppies, including feeding, walking, bathing, administering basic care, monitoring behavior, and providing daily attention and exercise. Through my Veterinary Assistant (VA) course, I also gained foundational knowledge in animal handling, safety, hygiene, and pet wellness. I am patient, attentive, and committed to making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Pet care fits comfortably into my daily routine since I already spend a lot of time caring for my own dogs every day. I’m used to feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning up after them, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Being around animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so making time for pet care feels very natural to me. At home, I care for my own dogs with daily walks, playtime, cleaning, and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs to keep them happy and healthy. For clients, I would provide the same level of care and attention through walks and daycare. I aim to create a calm, safe, and caring environment where pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I understand how important routines, patience, and supervision are when caring for someone else’s pet.
About: Hi! I’m a psychology graduate student and lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, and other exotic pets.

About: On top of caring for my own pets (Magnus and Pippi) I have helped foster dogs and cats, including puppies and kittens. Working with my own dog, I've found I love learning about training through positive reinforcement. I'm currently a part time student, so have plenty of free time for your pets. I am available all day Sunday through Thursday, as well as Friday mornings. I believe in positive reinforcement and paying attention to what your pet has to say. Your pets safety and comfort should always come first. I would love to watch your pet and bring them out on adventures.
About: Everyone on here walks, but does your dog need an extra workout? I am willing to stroll, walk, play, and even run with your pup! I have two family dogs (Santita and Elphaba) who I love running with. While my living situation does not allow pets, I would be delighted to walk or pet sit your fluffy friend with the same respect, love, and care as my own. For walks and check ins, I am available in the mornings through 4pm everyday. My August/Fall schedule has not been confirmed as I will be starting a new job.

I will keep you notified on our events throughout the walk or stay. I will ensure your pets have enough water and food before I leave. Any kennels are locked and toys are put away. I double check kennel and house locks and wait a few minutes to make sure the pups don’t get out.
About: I’ve cared for cats and dogs for many years and have two sweet cats at home. I love helping pets feel happy and secure—whether it’s visiting cats for feeding and play, or taking dogs on safe, relaxed walks that fit their needs. I’m a freelancer with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to visit or walk pets throughout the week. I drive and can easily accommodate different times for feedings, walks, or drop-in visits based on your pet’s needs. I’m very patient and detail-oriented when it comes to caring for pets. I always follow each owner’s instructions carefully to ensure safety and comfort. I can drive to your home for visits, make sure everything is clean and secure, and give your pets calm, reliable care while you’re away.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have cared for two of my own—a Chihuahua and a Poodle—since I was little. From playful walks to cozy cuddle sessions, I truly enjoy spending quality time with dogs and getting to know their unique personalities. I’m experienced with small breeds, and I’m always patient, gentle, and attentive to their needs. Whether your pup is playful, shy, or a senior needing extra care, I’m here to help. Please don’t hesitate to reach out—I’d love to meet your furry friend! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I’m pretty much always available to give your pup the attention they need throughout the day—whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. I’m lucky to have a dog park right in my apartment complex for quick outings, and on weekends, I love visiting larger public dog parks for more space to play and explore. Your pet will always have plenty of activity, attention, and care with me! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or at a client’s, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. At my place, pets have a clean and cozy space to relax, regular potty breaks, and lots of playtime—plus easy access to the dog park in my apartment complex. I follow any routines or special instructions closely, including feeding, medications, or crate training. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect I would my own and make sure their pet sticks to their normal routine so they feel secure and stress-free. I always send regular updates and photos, so you can feel confident your furry friend is in good hands!

About: I’ve had pets for as long as I can remember, so caring for animals has always been part of my everyday life. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and look after their pets while they’re away. So being around animals has always been a natural and joyful part of my life. I truly enjoy their company and the unique personality each one brings. Over the years I’ve cared for dogs of many breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m patient with energetic puppies, attentive to routines, and gentle with senior dogs who need a calmer pace and extra care. What sets me apart is the attention I give each pet. I take the time to understand their personality, comfort level, and daily routine so they feel relaxed and safe. Whether that means active walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I adapt to what makes each dog happiest. As a pet owner myself, I completely understand the responsibility that comes with caring for someone’s pet. I know how important it is to be attentive, observant of their behavior, and communicative with owners so they feel confident and at ease while they’re away. My goal is simple: to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved, while giving you peace of mind through attentive care and regular updates. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my priority. When they’re with me, you can expect: Attentive care: I pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, and routines so pets feel safe and understood. Playtime & exercise: Walks and interaction tailored to your dog’s personality and energy level. Patience & calm care: Gentle with senior dogs and patient with younger or more energetic pups. Reliable communication: Regular photo and message updates so you know how your pet is doing. Loving companionship: I truly enjoy animals’ company and treat every pet like family. Why pet owners trust me As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone who is responsible, observant, and caring. Always do my best to give you peace of mind while making sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved.
“Pearl always take the time to get to know my dog's specific needs and preferences, and it’s clear that she genuinely loves animals. The walks are always on time, and she provides detailed updates afterward, including photos and notes about the walk. My dog comes back exhausted (in the best way) and happy every time. I also appreciate how Pearl communicates. She is highly relatable and reliable.”
“Charlene is absolutely wonderful with our dog! She’s our go-to for walks three days a week and has been incredibly reliable and attentive. She communicates clearly, always gives thoughtful updates, and I can tell she genuinely cares. I always feel confident that our dog is safe and well taken care of when he’s with her. Highly recommend!”
“My Brody is a very special little guy. He can be a little skiddish and temperamental. Keilah always approaches him calmly and with so much care. I appreciate her so much and know Brody is always in the best hands!!”
“Qianwen is fantastic! She’s kind, reliable, and clearly loves what she does. I completely trust her with my dog, and her frequent photo/video updates give me total peace of mind while I'm away.”
About: I have been a huge dog person my entire life! At home, I have a four-year-old goldendoodle that I helped train from the puppy stage. He is super energetic, so I love taking him on hikes, walks around the dog park, and swims.Additionally, I have plenty of dog training, walking and sitting experience with dogs from a wide range of breeds and of all ages (from training puppies to taking care of senior dogs). I understand that every dog has unique needs, so I prioritize asking questions to ensure I know how to best take care of your furry friends. I also understand how scary it could be to leave your dog in the hands of somebody else, so I assure you that your dog will be safe and loved with me! I am currently working part-time. I’m available on weekends, and on weekdays I have varying/ flexible availability. I am happy to discuss a consistent weekly walking/ drop-in schedule! On walks, your pet's safety is my top priority. I abide by all leash and scoop laws and pay special attention to any factors that your dog may be more sensitive to (other dogs, cars, animals, people, etc.). In your home I adapt to your pet's needs and routines so that they are the most comfortable

“Qi took amazing care of our dogs, Pebbles and Luna, while we were away. Both of our girls are on the anxious side, so finding someone we trust is incredibly important. Qi was patient, attentive, and made them feel comfortable and cared for. We also appreciated how thoughtfully she manages the dogs in her care. Even though she watches multiple dogs, she carefully groups dogs that get along well and makes sure everyone has a safe, positive experience. Her home is very clean and well-maintained, which gave us additional peace of mind. Qi was also fantastic with communication, sending frequent photos and videos so we could see how Pebbles and Luna were doing. We always felt informed and reassured. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”

Thank you soo much for taking care and loving him. Would definitely leave Shiro with her the next time we are out of town. I recommend Shreeja 1000%”
About: Hello folks, we have been a large dog family for over 12 years. Unfortunately I lost my puppy this year. It's too early for me to get a new pet but we miss him dearly. While I had him I was always looking for a family that could board him while I was out traveling or visiting family. It's time for me to return the favor to other dog families who need that support and help. I live near Sunnyvale downtown in a single family home with a large lot and know the neighborhood well. We offer a calm, home environment — not a kennel — where dogs get personalized care and lots of love. I send regular photo updates so you always know how your pup is doing. As dog owner myself, I understand what pet parents look for — reliability, communication, and genuine love for animals. Your dog will get plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles during their stay with me. I will be happy to board your babies and take care of them while you are gone. Give me a few days of notice so I can plan my work schedule and travel plans accordingly. For longer stays, please give me a few weeks notice. I work from home, so your dog is never left alone for long. They'll have company throughout the day, regular outdoor breaks, and plenty of attention. My schedule is flexible, which means I can give dogs the time and attention they deserve — regular walks, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day rather than just morning and evening. Pet care is a natural part of our daily routine since we have had our own dog at home. Morning and evening walks are already built into my day, and I make sure every dog in our care gets exercise, attention, and downtime on a consistent schedule. I have a fully fenced yard. My home is a safe, pet-friendly environment — I had a dog of my own, so I've already done the work of making sure the space is comfortable and secure for animals. I have a fenced yard where dogs can play freely, and I always supervise interactions between pets to make sure everyone gets along well. I treat every dog as an individual — some need more activity, some need more quiet time, and I adjust accordingly. Food, medications, and any special routines are followed exactly as the owner instructs. I keep leashes on during walks in the neighborhood and never leave guest dogs unattended outside. You'll receive regular photo and text updates throughout the stay so you always have peace of mind.
“Ben was spectacular! Dobby really loved his place, and Ben was really communicative about how he was doing, sending photos within minutes of being messaged, and just generally we felt Dobby couldn’t have had a better stay. Ben clearly has tons of experience, and was even fine administering ear drops for a last minute ear infection we discovered 24 hours before drop off. Plus, Ben’s daughter was adorable and Dobby couldn’t get enough cuddles in. :)”
“Audrina and Donny were amazing! They provided regular updates, were very responsive and too great care of my dog. They were able to keep my very active dog really engaged with regular walks, potty breaks, playing fetch and training him (last two were them going above and beyond). They were very knowledgeable about pet care and had asked me to fill out a questionnaire about my dog and his activities before the stay so that they can keep it as a reference during his stay. Audrina also has a very helpful drop off checklist covering all the stuff my dog would need for his stay. Would be looking for Audrina’s help for a future stay as well!”
