“Ulunma and her family were so wonderful with me - and Coco! Coco had a great week and I appreciate that they were so helpful giving Coco her ear medecine for a sudden infection - which healed quickly. Thank you Ulunma - I will be back in touch!!”
“Sofia and Jonathan are the nicest family. We were gone for a long time on an international trip to visit family in France. And it was a relief to know that our dog and bunny were well taken care of. They spent 17 days with them and we got plenty of updates and photos. Would use them again and recommend them to anyone.”
“We felt so comfortable leaving our pup Henna with Maria and Kevan’s family! They did a great job keeping us updated and Henna seemed to have a very fun time there. Thank you so much for taking such good care of her!”
“Our 5month old yorkie, Bowie, stayed with Barsha and her family for one night while we were out of town. This was his first time away and Barsha communicated and sent photos and videos throughout so that we could see how he was adjusting. Bowie came home exhausted and happy from all the attention he received from the family and other pups staying at the house. Thanks, Barsha!”
About: I’ve had pets since I was a kid. Unfortunately, my pet (who was the love of my life) passed away. She was a high-needs dog with extreme separation anxiety and leash aggression, so I have skills to handle that type of pet. From then until now, I have focused on raising my children. I miss the company of animals, and I am wanting to be around them! My kids love animals, so your pet would get lots of cuddles while you’re away! I’m a stay-at-home mom of three. Two of my kids are in school, and the other stays home with me. We have lots of time on our hands to attend to the needs of your pet! If boarding at my home: I have two yards that are completely fenced in. I also have three animal-loving children. We let animals on the furniture. Our home is their home ☺️ If dropping in while you’re away or doing walk: My days are fully open starting at 9am. With kids at home, things get busy again at 5pm. Drop-ins would need to be between those hours. I can also visit again after my kids go down for bed which is usually 7:30pm. My child loves stroller walks, so hopefully your pet does too! Having a pet myself, I know how important it is to make your baby feel as calm and regulated as possible while you’re away. Putting them with a loving and responsible caretaker while you’re away is not a decision taken lightly. I hope I can be that for you and your family.
About: Looking to connect with owners of sweet, gentle dogs! We have two small dogs who are very playful but not pushy, and we'd love to find compatible dog friends. I'm hoping to build a trusted circle where we can help each other with dog sitting when traveling. I can host up to two dogs at a time. Message me if you're interested! 🐾 Self-employed at home. I walk my dogs 2 times during the day and 1 more time before bed. A few times a week, I bring them to Civic Park to socialize with other dogs before dinner. Once a week, I drive them to a nearby nature reserve for a hike. I feed them breakfast and dinner. Same if not more care will be given to your doggies. There are two fenced dog parks in my building that are treated daily with enzymatic chemicals. If your dog has sensitive skin, I will not bring them there to potty.
“This is Loveleen's second time with Casey and I have no worries at all whenever Loveleen is under Casey's care for doggy day care. I highly recommend Casey's services as he is very communicative and is flexible on drop off and pick up timing. This will not be Loveleen's last time with Casey!”
“Vicki was so wonderful with my Bella girl. My 7 year old chihuahua mix is silly and sweet and needs gentle attention and Vicki was so kind to her. Very easy to communicate with, gave frequent updates so I didn't miss my girl as much and my pup got along great with her pup. I'll be happy to have her services again.”
“Absolutely awesome job watching Linguini! Pictures and updates were fantastic, I could tell he was having a good time and he was well taken care of! He currently has allergies and she made sure he got his special food and allergy meds! Will definitely use for next time!”
“Patrick watched our dog, Tofu, for 2 days and one night. We were able to text and get instant responses as to how Tofu was doing. Patrick frequently sent us pictures and videos of Tofu playing with his dog, Sophie. He was very detailed in his responses and extremely flexible to our last-minute boarding request. Thank you Patrick for treating our Tofu like one of yours and we'll see you again soon!”
“Our dog loved staying at Stefanie’s with her dog Prince. She always sent us updates and pictures. We would love to rebook with her in the future because she’s amazing!”
“There’s nothing like finding someone you can trust wholeheartedly to care for your loved one. Nicole is that someone! Leaving Malfie for the first time was easier than expected because Nicole is so kind and caring! I’m so happy that we have found her and her husband!”
“5 Paws! Ruth was absolutely wonderful! She took excellent care of my two dogs, Bear (my 8-year-old Morkie) and Ginger (my 14-year-old Cockapoo). They both have special needs, and Ruth was incredibly attentive, patient, and caring with each of them. She took them on long walks, kept me updated with photos, and every single picture showed two happy, smiling pups who were clearly enjoying themselves and felt completely at ease. That gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Ruth to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable dog sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Kamila was a perfect fit for my two German shepherds. My dogs can be quite a handful and Kamila kept them entertained and happy. She kept them on their schedule, well fed, and exercised. I would highly recommend Kamila.”
“Thank you Frank and Thao for taking such great care of Louie. We appreciated the pictures and updates and looked like he had so much fun playing with Walter in the big backyard. We were comforted leaving our fur baby in your care and will rebook again!!”
“Chris and Eugena are wonderful. My dogs were so comfortable at their home, and they offered daily and adorable updates. They were very loving and attentive with my boys. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Shirley and her family were so kind and took very good care of our senior girl. I appreciated the photos and videos of Fox getting attention and cuddles. It was as if Fox went on her own vacation while we went away. Thank you!!”
“I was able to book Marien with kind of a short notice, which I genuinely appreciate. A based off of the daily photo updates, I could safely say Archer enjoyed his stay :) I don’t think he wanted to leave!”

“This is our second time booking with Sarah and she was great. Our kitty loves her. She was always within the promised visit time, sent plenty of pictures and left everything clean and tidy. Thank you!”
About: My family has always had multiple pets since I was born. I have taken care of dogs, cats, and other small animals since I was 9. My family who I live with currently has a year old Labradoodle puppy and a 3 year old Labrador but I do not have any pets of my own at the moment so I can give your pets my full love and attention. Friends and family have asked me to petsit at their houses since I was in high school because they knew how much I loved animals. I have experience walking, feeding, and bathing both cats and dogs. I have trained puppies and dogs basic commands, potty training, tricks and crate training. I have taken care of senior dogs and cats and can administer medicine both orally and through the ear. I also have experience handling pets of various temperaments such as anxious or energetic pets. As a dog and cat lover, I have done my research on how to best care for them so I have confidence in my skills and experience. I have a flexible, day job that allows me to easily manage a routine for your pets depending on their needs and care specifics. I am used to balancing multiple things at once such as school, a job, and owning a dog.
“Elena was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of our cat, Luka, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We really appreciated how thoughtful she was about checking in and keeping us updated. I loved receiving the daily photos she captured and her updates always made me smile. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Luka's well-being and made sure he was happy, comfortable, and well looked after. We highly recommend Elana to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter and look forward to rebooking with her in the future! Thank you, Elena!”
“Alexis did a great job checking in and taking care of our two cats while we were gone for a week. She offered to come meet me and the cats before we headed out on vacation. She was very friendly, nice and loving towards our cats. She was great at communicating and sending pictures and updates when she checked in. We would love to hire Alexis again next time we are out of town!”
“Adaley has been amazing. She stopped by for a meet and greet which made me feel much more comfortable as a new user to Rover. She checked in daily and provided a bunch of pictures. We absolutely recommend and will book her again in the future.”
“I’d definitely recommend Catherine. We went on a long vacation to Europe and had Catherine drop in on our two cats every day. She looked after them so well, they are throughly spoilt and my anxious boy didn’t show any outward signs of being overly anxious (he has pulled his back fur out during previous trips. We will definitely be contacting Catherine when we atr looking for cat care in the future”
About: While most of my experience is with dogs, I'm excited to get into the cat business as well by offering cat visits during your vacation. What sets me apart is the thoughtful, personalized care I provide at every stage of a pet’s life. I cared for my own dog, Charlotte, for 10 years—from puppyhood through her senior years. After every visit, owners receive photos and a written update, so they can feel confident their pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Samantha took such great care of our two kitties while we were gone for 4ish days on vacation! Between the check-in updates and the multiple photos, we didn't have to worry one bit about how they were doing. Even our super shy boy, Jynx, who some people think is only a myth due to never seeing him for years, came out on Samantha's first visit and made an appearance each time. The next time we need a sitter again, Samantha will be our first choice.”
“Vicki was amazing taking care of my two elder guinea pigs while I went out of town. Unfortunately, one of my guinea pigs fell ill right before I left and was left with six various medications. Vicki was great at following instructions, asking questions, and letting me know about any behavioral changes. I was definitely thrown a lot of curveballs, and Vicki handled them like a champ. I would definitely recommend!”
About: My name is Kelly and I’ve been caring for pups for 5 years, and behavior coach and trainer for 2. My passions focus on giving each pup the best experience, whether that’s through enrichment games, cuddles, or extra walks. You’ll feel like you never left with plenty of pupdates I’ll send your way. In my free time, you’ll find me training at the rescue and helping pups find their furever homes or working with kids. I provide a hands-on experience with my pups I care for, anticipating that I’ll work with various ages or needs. I can be as involved as you need me. Unfortunately my pet boardings are on hold for now. I currently provide house sittings, walks, and drop-ins. When house-sitting, I always treat my clients home as if it’s my own and more, always making it better than I found it. I want owners to return home feeling refreshed with clean and calm home.
“Tatiana was great with Milo and I truly appreciated the help! She came and met my little guy beforehand which put me at ease. She was great at communicating and sending updates/pictures. I will definitely be using Tatiana again and highly recommend!”
“Rachael was punctual, great with communication, and took cute photos of our boys. She seems to have a lot of experience and wasn't intimidated by our younger dog that can be a handful. We look forward to having her come again!”
“Asuka and Brian did a great job of taking care of my two cats. Their communication was great and they sent fun photos of the cats. I appreciate how Asuka and Brian kept the house clean and took the time to give the cats extra playtime and pets.”

I’ve cared for everything from tiny Papillons, Maltese and Shih Tzus to large breeds like German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, Swiss Shepherds and Golden Retrievers. I’m equally comfortable with puppies, seniors, and dogs with special needs or behavioral challenges. I live locally and prioritize clients close to home for reliable service and minimal travel time. I offer walks, drop-ins, multi-dog walks, overnight house-sitting, and transport services — as an experienced professional driver, I can safely transport pets (or owners and pets together) to vet appointments, groomers, or airports. What I Offer: • Dependable walks and drop-ins 7 days a week • Multi-dog or single-dog walks for any size breed • Overnight stays / house-sitting with respect for your home and routine • Pet transport (airport runs, vet visits, errands) • Clear updates with photos and Rover cards • Special focus on busy professionals and seniors needing regular help Why Choose Me: • Local to Walnut Creek so can quick, reliable response in the area • Experienced across all sizes and ages of dogs • Professional driver — safe transport available • Certified in Pet First Aid & CPR (basic) with advanced training underway • Deep family roots in the area and strong personal references I would be happy to meet you and your pet for a free Meet & Greet to discuss your needs and discuss a schedule that keeps your dog healthy and happy.

I have just joined Rover and am taking on new clients from 5:00am to 7:00pm, and I am generally available 7 days a week. I welcome clients with a regular repeating schedule, short notice requests, and periodic "substitute pet care" needs when your regular walker or sitter is unavailable. Safety is always my number one concern. Let's review all of your pet's special needs and requirements together and develop a plan that works best for them and for you. I have many strong local personal references I can provide. For walks, I invite you to track my location (through my mobile phone) so you know where your pet is at all times. If you are looking for a pet-sitter at your home, my references will assure you that I will treat your home with care and respect — and your pets with loving attention. For overnight sits, I bring my own inflatable mattress and linens so yours remain untouched.
“Great experience. The cats were happy to see me but also looked great. One of them has a tendency to pull fur if he’s stressed or misses us, but his coat was still luscious and fully intact when we got home. They were well looked after”

“Brayden and Noel took great care of my dog. She can be shy and anxious with new people, and they were very skillful and patient with her. Their communication is great too. I always get a prompt response from them. I highly recommend them.”
“As always, Vicki did a lovely job taking care of my little dog. She has been very patient and compassionate with her. Communication with her is clear, frequent and stress-free. She is a real five-star petsitter!! We are so lucky to have her💚🐾”
“Highly recommend Nicole. She was super flexible and accommodating with drop off and pick up. Spartacus would perk right up when he saw her - I could see he was in good hands. Loved the pictures and updates too!”
“Our Australian shepherd had an awesome time playing with Brodie the golden doodle all day on Christmas Eve. He seemed really happy all day and he slept really well that night! It worked out perfectly. Thank You!”

“Marien was a blessing to our fur baby Guapo. She was so kind and patient and really took care of him. He looked so happy and really enjoyed himself! We are super thankful for her and think she’s amazing. I haven’t let anyone watch him yet alone it’s my first time leaving him and she made it so seamless. Neither of us were anxious about the experience. 😭 I highly recommend Marien.”
“Barsha was great and my puppy was very happy at the end of the day with her. She kept me updated with texts and photos. Even some videos of Ozzie playing, which put me at ease seeing him so comfortable and playful. We already have another day booked for Ozzie to be with Barsha.”
“We were worried about leaving our new puppy for the first time, but Alisha set up a Zoom so we could meet her the day before and it was immediately obvious that she would take great care of our little guy. Then, when we dropped him off, he practically jumped into her arms and made himself at home in the space she has set up which is perfect for doggy guests. She sent us updates and pics throughout the evening. We are very glad to have Alisha nearby for the future. I especially appreciate her depth of knowledge -- she is a great resource for those of us who have limited experience with raising puppies!”
“Ulunma was incredibly flexible with her schedule to accommodate mine! She texted me pics and updates throughout my dogs stay and her husband and son were just as friendly. I felt super at ease leaving my baby in their care and would definitely recommend her!”
“We had a great experience with Stefanie! She was extremely professional, responsive, and clearly very experienced with dogs. Our Shiba Inu, Arashi, can be a challenging breed, but she handled him with ease and confidence, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Her home is very well set up for dog care, whether for daytime stays or overnight boarding. Everything felt safe, organized, and thoughtful. We really appreciated her communication throughout and would absolutely trust her with Arashi again. Highly recommend!”
“I reached out to Mia last minute as our regular sitter fell threw. She quickly responded to my request and was great with our maltipoo pups. They were calm and happy after we picked them up. Thank you, Mia!”
“Namrata, took care of my Kona. Kona is usually with me and very attached and takes a moment to warm up. Namrata kept me updated and sent me pictures. She was also flexible and kind. I will definitely be bringing Kona back.”
“Jennifer was very responsive and accommodating. I accidentally booked the wrong date, but in our text conversation, I had discussed the correct dates with her. On the correct day of the date I needed her to watch my dog, I called her frantically thinking that she wouldn’t be available since I booked a different date, but she was accommodating and changed the date to the correct one. She’s located near Dodge Ridge, so we dropped my dog off early in the morning and went snowboarding then picked him up on the way home. Very convenient. I have an old dog that requires special care like medicine, special food, diapers, anxiety, and etc and she followed my detailed instructions very well. My pup also seemed to enjoy being under her care despite his anxiety. Will be happy to bring him back!”
“Sarah did an amazing job making Noodle and I comfortable from the meet / greet to the trial run! She has a wealth of pup knowledge and so much experience. She sent lots of updates and Kwan on top of all details. My pup and I can’t wait for another trip to Sarah’s!”
About: I’m a responsible and caring pet lover who truly enjoys spending time with animals. My home is a safe, loving environment where pets receive plenty of attention and care.

I am a stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide reliable and attentive care throughout the day. I spend most of my time at home or running local errands, so I can easily fit pet visits, walks, feeding, and playtime into my routine. My partner also has a flexible schedule and is happy to help when needed, allowing us to provide consistent care and attention for your pets. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities.

“Our dog, Nori, just got back home from her first day of daycare with Yena. She went to nap immediately so we know she had so much fun! Yena provided pictures and videos of her while she was there. Lots of dogs to play with and Nori received a lot of love as well. Would highly recommend Yena!”
“Monica went above and beyond to give Angel a wonderful stay. She has a lovely home and she sent me videos to reassure me of Angel's well being. Angel returned home in a relaxed and happy state.”
“Aiko has been incredibly patient with our Millie, a rescue who takes a long time to warm up to new people. Aiko's warmth and genuine love for dogs is evident every time we interact with her. We feel so lucky to have found her!”
About: I've had dogs my entire life and currently share my home with two Miniature Schnauzers, Frank and Peri. After 20 years in Moraga and now as an empty nester, I have the time and flexibility to focus on something that brings me genuine joy—spending time with dogs. I started offering care because I could never find a place where I felt completely comfortable leaving my own dogs. My goal is to provide the kind of environment I would want for Frank and Peri: plenty of outdoor time, freedom to explore, comfortable places to rest, and lots of personal attention. I've cared for dogs of all ages, including many senior dogs, and I welcome potty-trained puppies. Along with a small team of trusted staff members, we focus on keeping dogs active, supervised, safe, and happy throughout the day. Every dog is treated like part of the family while they're here. I designed this to be the kind of place I always wished existed for my own dogs. When I needed care for Frank and Peri, I was never completely comfortable with the idea of them spending their days running through a stranger's house, jumping on furniture, or sleeping in someone else's bed. I wanted a place that was professional, safe, active, and built around what dogs actually enjoy. So that's exactly what I've created. We operate more like a boutique daycare and boarding facility than a typical home stay. Dogs spend their days in a large, flat, fully fenced backyard designed for play, exploration, socialization, and relaxation. They have plenty of room to run, places to nap in the shade, constant access to fresh water, and caring supervision from me and my staff throughout the day. A typical day starts around 6:30 a.m. with outdoor play and activity, followed by a midday rest period and more socialization and exercise in the afternoon. In the evening, dogs settle into the Dog Den, our dedicated sleeping area designed specifically for their comfort and safety. The goal is simple: a place where dogs can be active, social, safe, and genuinely happy while their owners are away. My home is designed to be a safe, comfortable place for dogs to be dogs. The property features a large, flat, fully fenced backyard with plenty of room to run, roam, play, and explore. There is always access to fresh water, shade, and comfortable places to rest. Dogs are free to move between indoor and outdoor spaces throughout the day while under supervision from my staff and me. At night, dogs sleep in a dedicated room we call the Dog Den. Dogs may sleep in their crate if that's what they're accustomed to, or comfortably outside a crate if preferred. Owners provide their dog's regular food so we can maintain familiar routines and avoid digestive upset. Whether your dog is a playful youngster, a laid-back adult, or a beloved senior, we strive to provide a safe, loving environment where they can relax and feel at home while you're away. I'll care for your dog the same way I care for Frank and Peri—with attention, patience, affection, and respect for their individual personality and needs.

“Courtney is fantastic! She walks Summer during the week for me, and I couldn't be happier. She is reliable, communicative, and Summer absolutely loves her. Highly recommend!”
“Olga is very good! Really do like her but communication could have been done better since I gave clear instructions in advance, nothing wrong with this at though!”
About: I have taken care of lots of different breeds of dogs and cats for many years, and always focus on creating a strong connection with both them and the owner.

About: Hi, I’m Kat! I’m a huge dog lover with over a year of hands-on experience at Summit Kennels in Washington state. There I cared for all kinds of dogs - from police K9s and dogs with aggression or reactivity, behavioral issues to sweet family pets. That experience taught me how to truly connect with every dog and give them the understanding, structure, attention and love they need. Now based in the Bay Area, I offer personalized drop-in visits and walks. I’m also currently studying to become a certified dog trainer, so I bring both real experience and modern positive reinforcement methods to every visit. What I’m most known for is staying calm and confident with any dog. Whether yours is a gentle family pet, a playful puppy, a calm adult, a senior who needs extra care, a dog on medication or one who’s energetic, anxious or reactive - I can handle it with patience and care. My goal is always to create a safe, positive experience. I’ll make sure your dog gets exercise, mental stimulation, genuine attention, and plenty of playtime and affection. And you’ll always receive detailed photo updates so you can relax knowing your pup is happy and well taken care of. I’d love to meet you and your dog! I’m currently studying to become a certified dog trainer which gives me a flexible schedule. I’m able to dedicate plenty of time for drop-in visits and walks throughout the day and evening. I’m available most weekdays and weekends and I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs so I can easily adjust my day around their needs. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort in every environment. In my client’s home, I follow their exact routines, instructions, and house rules. I make sure the space is secure, provide regular potty breaks, exercise, and mental stimulation, and always send photo updates.
“Felix is a reliable and dependable dog walker and house sitter. Between walking my 11 month German shepherd or caring for my five year old Lab, I have nothing but good things and praise to say about his work.”
“Katey was fabulous walking our dog! She clearly loves dogs and is affectionate with them and she knows how to handle them. She's punctual and communicative. We will definitely have her back again in the future!”
“Emily is incredible! She has been walking our 2 (big) dogs for about 2 weeks now and the boys are loving the walks. Emily is very alert to all their needs and is even helping to train them along the way. Booking with Emily was super easy and she always responds quickly to any/all messages. I would definitely recommend her services! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Agne is wonderful! I was able to enjoy my trip without worries knowing that my dog was in such good hands. In every photo, it was clear that my dog was having a great time 💕 best sitter ever!”
About: Animals have always been my passion and your pet's well-being will always come first. I work in a very timely manner and am proactive to let you know about how your pet is doing! I split my time between providing services on Rover, and working at Contra Costa Animal Services. A portion of my proceeds from bookings is donated to the shelter each month.🐶🐱💕 I have open availability, my schedule is Sunday - Saturday, with earliest appointments at 8AM and latest at 8PM. I keep my calendar updated regularly. **Services from June-Sept will be extremely limited in availability due to medical leave** Caring for pets in your home requires trust and respect. I keep to the main community areas of your home and require access to one bathroom. I will assume any other place as off-limits unless otherwise specified. Supplies such as leashes, collars, harnesses, treats, etc. that you provide will be returned back to their original location. Keys can either be left in a hidden lock box or on my person - I take care to properly label and safely store any keys to ensure they are returned when my stay is over.
About: I am an insured pet care professional, and I bring the same kindness and thoughtfulness I would want someone to show my own pet. What sets me apart is that I’m dependable, attentive, and very detail-oriented. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality and routine, carefully follow your instructions, and keep you updated with plenty of photos and notes. My goal is simple: to help your pet feel safe, comfortable, loved, and genuinely well cared for whenever they’re with me. I cared for my own dog, Charlotte, for 10 years—from her puppy stage through her senior years—so I understand how much a dog’s needs can change over time. My experience with puppies began even earlier, when a neighbor who bred dogs trusted me to help care for her newborn litters. I understand the patience, consistency, and routine puppies need, including reinforcement of potty training, basic commands, leash manners, and good habits. I also know that senior dogs may need slower walks, extra time, and someone who pays attention to the little changes. I'm currently working part-time, so I will have the flexibility to walk your pet or drop in for your pet during the day while you are away. Looking forward to new clients! I currently provide care in my clients’ homes, where pets can remain comfortable in their familiar surroundings and routines. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions for walks, meals, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, preferences, and needs, keep their space tidy, and send photos and written updates after every visit. All dog walks are private and on leash. At this time, I do not offer care in my own home, overnight stays, transportation, or medication administration.
About: I found my kitten when he was two days old next to a tire in a parking lot - brought him home and had to bottle feed him every 2 hours. He’s now thriving over 4 months old! I also used to have a senior dog a couple of years ago (he passed at 17) who was in diapers, blind, and couldn’t really hear. I have experience with big dogs too (such as german shepherds). I’m a student and I’m currently taking online classes, so I have a good amount of free time, and would be more than happy to take care of your pets :) I don’t offer services in my own home, however, when pet sitting in yours, they will be watched closely and with much care! Your pet is the #1 priority.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities for over 10 years, including my own dog, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. Friends and family regularly rely on me for boarding, walks, and overnight care. I’m attentive, patient, and make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m also familiar with feeding routines, basic training, and handling different energy levels. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give your pet plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’m available for boarding on both weekdays and weekends, and I can adjust to your pet’s routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free.

I have experience caring for dogs in a home setting and always prioritize supervision, routine, and comfort. I can accommodate crate training if needed and will follow your pet’s usual schedule as closely as possible. I also provide regular updates so you feel confident and at ease while you’re away.
About: I've raised my 5 year old beagle-terrier rescue since he was 7 weeks old and my cat since she was 1.5 years old. Pets are so special and I always lead with care, tenderness, and a sensitivity to their routines. I have experience with potty training, oral medication administration, teaching basic commands like "sit" and "shake", & working with diverse breeds/sizes/ages/ability levels of dogs & cats. My goal is to create a safe, fun, peaceful environment for all pets, whether that's an extended walk around the park or a chill night in watching their favorite shows. I'm quite flexible for walks and drop-in visits Monday-Friday from 8am-4:30pm. I am a Professor and teach once a week in the evening, with lots of time spent lecture-prepping and working on manuscripts. For my own pets, and for the pets I've cared for over the years, I strive to maintain their nutrition, exercise, & playtime routines as my first priority. Whether I am watching them for a few hours, or staying with them for several days, their comfort and safety is of the utmost importance! I value consistent communication with pet parents. For instance, photo/video updates on how their pets are doing.
“It was my first time using Rover and Kim made me feel at ease with the process. She was very flexible and communicative. My dog seem to adapt to Kim very quickly and looks like she enjoyed her walks. I will book with Kim again in the future if I need a dog walker.”
“My German Shepard absolutely loves Katja. Katja is just amazing with him. He waits patiently at the door for her to show up to take him on walks every single time. It’s super adorable! Katja is so kind, fun and responsible. We love her and feel so lucky to have found her.”

“Ulunma and her family were so wonderful with me - and Coco! Coco had a great week and I appreciate that they were so helpful giving Coco her ear medecine for a sudden infection - which healed quickly. Thank you Ulunma - I will be back in touch!!”
“Sofia and Jonathan are the nicest family. We were gone for a long time on an international trip to visit family in France. And it was a relief to know that our dog and bunny were well taken care of. They spent 17 days with them and we got plenty of updates and photos. Would use them again and recommend them to anyone.”
“We felt so comfortable leaving our pup Henna with Maria and Kevan’s family! They did a great job keeping us updated and Henna seemed to have a very fun time there. Thank you so much for taking such good care of her!”
About: I’ve had pets since I was a kid. Unfortunately, my pet (who was the love of my life) passed away. She was a high-needs dog with extreme separation anxiety and leash aggression, so I have skills to handle that type of pet. From then until now, I have focused on raising my children. I miss the company of animals, and I am wanting to be around them! My kids love animals, so your pet would get lots of cuddles while you’re away! I’m a stay-at-home mom of three. Two of my kids are in school, and the other stays home with me. We have lots of time on our hands to attend to the needs of your pet! If boarding at my home: I have two yards that are completely fenced in. I also have three animal-loving children. We let animals on the furniture. Our home is their home ☺️ If dropping in while you’re away or doing walk: My days are fully open starting at 9am. With kids at home, things get busy again at 5pm. Drop-ins would need to be between those hours. I can also visit again after my kids go down for bed which is usually 7:30pm. My child loves stroller walks, so hopefully your pet does too! Having a pet myself, I know how important it is to make your baby feel as calm and regulated as possible while you’re away. Putting them with a loving and responsible caretaker while you’re away is not a decision taken lightly. I hope I can be that for you and your family.
“This is Loveleen's second time with Casey and I have no worries at all whenever Loveleen is under Casey's care for doggy day care. I highly recommend Casey's services as he is very communicative and is flexible on drop off and pick up timing. This will not be Loveleen's last time with Casey!”
“Our dog loved staying at Stefanie’s with her dog Prince. She always sent us updates and pictures. We would love to rebook with her in the future because she’s amazing!”
“5 Paws! Ruth was absolutely wonderful! She took excellent care of my two dogs, Bear (my 8-year-old Morkie) and Ginger (my 14-year-old Cockapoo). They both have special needs, and Ruth was incredibly attentive, patient, and caring with each of them. She took them on long walks, kept me updated with photos, and every single picture showed two happy, smiling pups who were clearly enjoying themselves and felt completely at ease. That gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Ruth to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable dog sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Kamila was a perfect fit for my two German shepherds. My dogs can be quite a handful and Kamila kept them entertained and happy. She kept them on their schedule, well fed, and exercised. I would highly recommend Kamila.”
“Thank you Frank and Thao for taking such great care of Louie. We appreciated the pictures and updates and looked like he had so much fun playing with Walter in the big backyard. We were comforted leaving our fur baby in your care and will rebook again!!”
“Chris and Eugena are wonderful. My dogs were so comfortable at their home, and they offered daily and adorable updates. They were very loving and attentive with my boys. Will definitely be booking again!”
“I wanted to leave another review for Crystal because she continues to wow us with her care of our dog, Coco. When we dropped Coco off at Crystal's apartment this time, Coco was completely at ease and happy being left (this has never happened before). She immediately jumped up on Crystal's couch and layed down. She did not even follow us to the door when we left! Also, Coco had been having a few minor medical issues with diet mostly. We were nervous to leave her at first, but after talking with Crystal, we knew everything would be fine. Crystal took care of everything and made sure Coco was well fed and cared for. We also love that Coco gets to spend the whole day with Crystal, sleep in her bed and go on all sorts of outings. We feel like when we are on vacation, so is Coco. :)”
“Our 18 month old black lab had the best time with Peter and Sara. He is a quarantine puppy, so we were nervous about his first night away. He came home happy and exhausted. Always great to have a place to leave your fur babies!”
“Caroline was a super canine vacation host! She sends daily activity messages, pics and comments at days end. She even does follow up work after ... She helped me with trainer etc... highly recommended. Drew miller”
“Yena was very helpful with our 10 month old puppy on his first overnight away from home. She provided feedback, photos and advice. She clearly knows dog behavior and how to handle them as well as being loving to them. We will use her again.”
“Caio is an amazing dog sitter, I will be a repeat customer! Caio took on my 14 week old puppy for 3 nights, and my pup had the best time!!! It was such a relief to know my puppy was in such good and caring hands.”
“Aiko and Dennis were amazing hosts for our Frenchie Reba. We were heartbroken when we realized we wouldn't be able to bring both our pups with us on our vacation and know how particular Reba can be about who cares for her. After our meet and greet, we felt a lot more comfortable. We had a bit of separation anxiety the first 24 hours but Dennis and Aiko's updates made us feel like we made the right choice for our little girl. Reba had a blast playing with the other dogs and going on walks. We picked her up a happy and rested pup. We will definitely use Dennis and Aiko again!”
“Cali came home happy and tired- the signs of a great overnight stay…!!! James was a great communicator, really attentive to the details and did great putting our pup at ease. Hope to use him again and if you’re looking — look no further!”
“Santiago was very accommodating and made my dogs feel right at home! Kept their schedule consistent and lives near a nice walking path. One thing that really made him stand out is that your dog(s) are the only ones he and his family watch. Where I’ve been to some sitters and they have like 4-5 different dogs there being watched so they can make more money. So with him only watching ours I know they were looked after and it was great to get pics of the pups while traveling. 10/10 would reccomend!”
