“Our dog Blue had the best time staying with Dianiris and her family. From the get go, Dianiris responded quickly to texts and was very kind and reassuring (I might have been having a little separation anxiety of my own lol). I really appreciated all of the check-ins and photos she sent while Blue was with her too. Dianiris will definitely be our go-to sitter if we are back in the area!”
“We left our 3+ year dog with Wanda recently. This was our first time trying rover and it seems Wanda loved & pampered our dog a lot! Wanda is in a nice neighborhood in Long beach which made us feel safe leaving our dog with her. She sent pictures throughout & her conversations made us feel she is very experienced with dogs & understands them. Our dog hasn’t been around other dogs so we really appreciated that she only takes 1 client at a time. She made extra effort to make our dog feel comfortable with Gidget as well. We will definitely reach out to Wanda next time we need dog boarding!”
“Max and Zai did such an amazing job taking care of Koa. This was the first time we were going to be away from Koa for this long, but Max eased my worries after meeting him, and I knew Koa was going to be well taken care of. Max and Zai were very communicative and sent photo and video updates everyday, which were wonderful to receive and see that Koa was so happy. Max and Zai are wonderful people who truly care about dogs, and they took the best care of Koa while we were away. Thank you both so much for all the love and attention you gave Koa while taking care of him. I highly recommend Max and Zai to anyone who wants their dog in the best care while away. I will definitely rebook Max and Zai again to watch Koa for us.”
“Matthew and Kim were great! They were super friendly, caring, reliable and communicative. After meeting them we felt great about leaving our puppy with them for her first overnight away from us. They kept us updated with pictures and text messages about how she was doing. We feel so fortunate to have found them to take care of our girl!”
“Nyessa is simply wonderful! The way she cared for my dog was beyond what I could have hoped for. She’s so gentle, kind, and attentive! it felt like leaving my fur baby with family. I’m so thankful for her kindness and can’t wait to book with her again!”
“Merve is the best sitter I could ask for! It was my first time leaving my cat with someone else, I was nervous since he's an escape artist and has some dietary needs. But after speaking with her I completely trusted that she could take care of him, she has a lot of experience with cats and was so accomodating and sweet. When I dropped my boy off they clicked right away, I was so relieved. I got a lot of cute pictures and videos during his stay and I could tell he was so happy and comfortable in her home, and he was loved and cared for every day of his stay by Merve and her son. Thank you so much!!”
“We had a great experience with Erin watching our Labrador retriever for the weekend. We appreciated the updates and pictures she sent us. Will definitely book again!”
“Fantastic cat sitter. Available on short notice and took amazing care of 2 cats. She sent frequent updates including pictures and videos, easy to communicate with, and our cats loved her. She was very kind and loving to our boys. We had to go out of town on short notice and she was very open to our needs. Really appreciated will definitely be utilizing her services next time”
“Christine is a treasure. She took care of my dog Rico like he was her own. Upon me, dropping her off, she immediately began walking him. She communicated with me every step of the way to inform me of how my pet is doing. My wife expressed that she was so happy that we were able to have free time because Christine was a reliable caretaker for our pet. We will definitely book again. She’s worth her weight and gold. Thank you, Christine. P. Kenji Bonds”
“Shannon was a wonderful caregiver for Dumbles! He is a bit of a handful—anxious around new people (pandemic puppy) and also still very feisty and full of energy. Shannon wasn't phased at all by my worries about Dumbles and it was clear from just meeting her that her low-key energy made Dumbles comfortable right away. Honestly, it was embarrassing how quickly he just headed off to her car with her without a second glance at us, haha! Shannon did a great job communicating with us and sending us photos of Dumbles looking happy with her - snuggling in her bed, asking for treats, going on walks, and generally looking very much at home with her. She was responsive to texts and Rover messages, and was very flexible with her time (we switched up to having her deliver him back to us rather than us picking him up and she was like "no problem!"). Mostly, it was clear that she loved having Dumbles, and Dumbles loved staying with her. We hope all of our dogsitters are as wonderful as Shannon. Thank you, Shannon! May we meet again!”
“Corrine and Louis were perfect! I felt our dogs were cared for just like they are at home and will definitely request to book again in the future when needed.”
“Marlo is amazing! Very communicative, flexible, and patient with my anxious dog. It was clear from the moment I dropped him off that Marlo really cared about making sure he was comfortable in a new space. Highly recommend!”
“Megan and her family were great! Megan sent me updates throughout the weekend to let me know how things were going. When Remy got dirty from playing outside she gave her bath. Remy came home tired and happy!”
“Jennifer was amazing with our dog, Bowie! She was great at communicating and sent us updates and pictures multiple times throughout the day, which we really appreciated. Bowie had so much fun playing with her dogs, and it was clear that she treated him like one of her own. Jennifer is wonderful with dogs, and you can tell how much she genuinely loves and cares for them. We felt completely comfortable knowing Bowie was in such good hands. We will definitely be bringing our boy back to stay with her again!”
“Laura was fantastic. She’s very quick to respond and took my dog on a very short notice. She was great with him. He was so happy to be with her and her dogs. He came home happy and healthy. Thank you so much!!!”
“Chris was absolutely wonderful! He took exceptional care of Kai, going above and beyond to ensure he was comfortable and happy. His professionalism and attention to detail were evident from the start, and I truly appreciated the frequent updates and numerous photos he provided. It gave me so much peace of mind while traveling, knowing Kai was in such great hands. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking Chris again!”
“Sara took such great care of our dog while we were away, sending us pictures and updates throughout her entire stay. She was treated like one of the family. Our dog really enjoyed her experience and we would definitely recommend Sara to everyone.”

“We had a wonderful experience with Zeni! She was punctual, friendly, and communicated with us throughout her time dropping in for our two cats. It was clear right away that she loves animals, and we could tell our cats loved her too from the pictures she took every visit. We would happily use Zeni’s services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter. Thank you again!!”
“Laura is a sweet and attentive person who is a pleasure to talk to. The pets all come to greet her when she comes over and she gives them lots of love. She goes above and beyond regarding what I needed and doesn’t rush. Thank you so much.”
“Jessica did an awesome job! She went above and beyond for me. My cats are very messy eaters and she did a great job cleaning the bowls, wiping down the countertops, and cleaning the litter box. She also lit my candles so the house smelled nice when I came home. She gave great updates and took awesome pictures of my babies. I would definitely recommend her services.”
“Kennedy was an excellent pet sitter. Very consistent and thorough in their communication. My cat was quick to warm up to him. Kennedy’s care was top-notch across the board!”
“another amazing job by Shelli!!! It’s so comforting to be able go out of town with confidence knowing our trio of kitties is well cared for and looked after. Shelli follows our care instructions, and was super flexible when I followed up once out of town with things I initially forgot to share with her regarding the care of our cats. Shelli is the best!!”
“Jasmine took care of our cat while away for a week, and it was a wonderful experience! She was very attentive to details of care instructions and communicated clearly from the first meeting until the last drop-in. She showed a genuine care for our little guy, which is exactly what a pet parent wants! Will use her again and definitely recommend. Thank you, Jasmine!”
About: I grew up with cats, cat sit for friends and family, and had a giant Siberian calico, Chloe, for 14 years. Chloe was rather high maintenance and was always by my side. On the occasions I had to travel, I would stress that her sitters wouldn't understand how much attention she needed to ease her separation anxiety - many people believe cats to be anti-social and distant. I believe every cat is unique with their own personality. I don't want any cat owner to feel stressed leaving their cat(s) hoping they'll get enough attention under my care. I love all the kitties!
About: I currently have two cats named Ghibli and Kiki, and they are my entire world! Because of them, I understand the importance of having a caring and reliable cat sitter, and I want to be that person for other cat owners. As a cat owner who has also volunteered with rescue cats, I know that every cat has their own personality and needs. Whatever your cat needs, whether it is playtime, enrichment, meals, or just some love and attention, I got you covered. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your cats are in the caring and reliable hands of someone who will treat them like my own. I take instructions seriously and appreciate detailed notes regarding your cat's care so I can make sure they receive the care and routine they are accustomed to. I’ve also dealt with cat medical emergencies before; I know the signs of a cat in distress and will notify you immediately if something seems wrong.
“Maiko was super friendly and accommodating. My kitties caused an issue at home and she was very prompt on informing me and help me with the situation. I definitely recommend her and will be requesting for her service again!”
About: Hi! I've been taking care of my own cat for 4 years now and my family's cats for 9 years and counting. I specialize in litter box cleaning, kitty enrichment, and lots of love. If you feel that you have an aggressive/reactive kitty - don't fret! I can handle and have handled many aggressive kitties in the past and I'm sure me and your fluff-ball can work past our speciated differences :)
“Erin did a wonderful job taking care of my cat Milo! She told me she has cats of her own so it felt good leaving him with someone who has the experience I was looking for. I had quite a bit of instructions for my cat while I was away, and she did a great job following through with everything I asked. Very attentive, responsible, and clearly cared about making sure my cat was comfortable and well taken care of. She always sent me photos, giving me updates, and was great with communication! Very thankful for her help!”
“I can always count on Christopher! He’s great with Rosie especially since she needs some xtra love and care with post surgery and new diet! Thanks Chris!!”
“Christina was great! She took care of our kitten with patience and consistency. They made fast friends in a few days despite Bootsy being shy and hesitant around strangers. I couldn’t have asked for more!”
“Fantastic cat sitter. Available on short notice and took amazing care of 2 cats. She sent frequent updates including pictures and videos, easy to communicate with, and our cats loved her. She was very kind and loving to our boys. We had to go out of town on short notice and she was very open to our needs. Really appreciated will definitely be utilizing her services next time”
“Shannon made our shy kitty feel right at home. She so graciously accommodated all her needs and sent lots of pictures throughout her stay. When we picked her up I could tell she was feeling comfy and confident in Shannon’s cozy space!”
“Sarah checked in on my cat for a week and was great at communicating about her visits with pictures. She gave my cat all of the pets and attention and care that I could have hoped for! Book her for your pet today!”

“Kayla is an amazing dog sitter! She has excellent communication & sent several pictures throughout the day. She was also very flexible with a last minute request and went above and beyond with walks, ensuring that my fur baby was nice and tired. Would absolutely recommend!!!”
About: I used to have 27 cats and 2 dogs in my apartment. Many of them are picked up from the street or sick. After I work with the pet doctor, I training them, and help the autism and mental disabled people and seniors people. I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available on weekends and weeks day. My apartment has no other pet right now! And All the animals like me, and I have so many years experience with pet. I can easily get along with good relationships with your pets.
“I would highly recommend Jessica and would definitely use her services again. She was quick to respond, attentive, very friendly, and welcoming of our dog. Jessica watched our dog Nyx last minute while we attended an expo in downtown Long Beach. Our time at the expo was not as long as we thought it would be so we let Jessica know and she responded quickly and we were able to pick up Nyx early. Nyx was happy when we picked her up and I could tell she was enjoying her time with Jessica and her family. Thank you Jessica!”
“Ebony is truly heaven sent!! she made sure that our fur baby had tons of fun and even sent lots of pictures which is really comforting. The drop off and pickup was really easy and her daughter is super amazing and sweet. We will definitely be using Ebony again, especially since our dog loved her doggy treats and walks!!”
“I can't say enough about how great Michael and Lara are with my senior Boxer Mix. He's now an established guest and he feels so comfortable there, playing with their dog, Teddy, and other dogs they have with them at the time. I feel so confident leaving my dog, Brody, in their care. I cannot recommend them enough...they are the best!”
About: I’m Cait! I live in Belmont Shore, where there’s a 60/40 chance a stroller is carrying a fur baby vs a human baby. I’ve been caring for dogs of all ages, shapes, and personalities since I was a little girl. The dog in the photo is Archie, my favorite nephew and frequent guest. I hope to meet your bestie soon! Reach out for your last minute requests! I’m a fully remote worker with a flex schedule so getting to and from your pet’s abode will be as breezy as the bike path. Frequent potty breaks and play time is 100% welcome. I love to get my steps in so let’s take your pal out for a walk or run!
“Makenna was amazing! She was able to accommodate a last-minute, same-day booking, which we really appreciated. She was kind, a great communicator, and sent us lots of updates/pictures throughout our dog’s stay. We felt our senior dog was in great hands! We’d definitely book with her again!”
“Jill was so wonderful and caring for Diego! Her outdoor play area was shaded and so clean for the dogs. She even taught him how to use the doggy door! She was really understanding about his separation anxiety and hung around with him until he felt more comfortable to play and nap, and steal all the dog beds! I would absolutely bring Diego back here.”
“Elise is an amazing sitter! she’s very communicative, flexible, & understanding. She makes homemade dog treats & takes plenty of fun photos & videos. She even customizes the videos to make them extra fun - adding filters & music. Elise took our pup out to interesting places for walks and fetch. Our boy came back very tired and happy! Couldn’t have had a better 1st experience using Rover. So happy to know this amazing person! Highly recommend!”
“Jacquelyne was fantastic! Super friendly and communicated often with pictures and notes. Her 2 dogs were extremely friendly to our Teddy and I'm so glad he made new friends today with them! Couldnt recommend her more for excellent care!”
“Amazing!!! I left my puppy sky with them for a couple hrs while I had to run some errands and she came back exhausted!!! (She’s never tired) thank you for sending updates and lots of photos of my baby will definitely be booking again with yall!”
“Shannon was great with Harley! At the meet and greet he ran right up to her, which he rarely does with strangers at the park. She was flexible with the schedule which was super helpful for drop off and pickup, and she made him feel calm and relaxed as evidenced by the many photos she shared with us. Highly recommend Shannon, and we hope she can watch Harley again.”
“Treana went out of her way to care for my two dogs. I needed someone last minute and she was able to help me out. By far the best sitter I’ve experienced, she updated me throughout the day with photos/videos. She was very communicative and responded quick. She took our dogs to the beach. She fed them and was able to give my dog the medicine he needed. Whenever we are in town we will definitely use her again. She exceeded my expectations by far! I felt really comfortable being out all day knowing my dogs were being well cared for so thank you so much!”
“Megan is amazing!!! My dogs (9 and 3 month old poodles) loved staying at her house and her kids are the absolute sweetest and they played with my puppies. My puppies both just adore playing with kids. We will book Megan again anytime we need a sitter. She kept me updated and sent lots of pictures. Highly reliable and I felt very relaxed knowing my puppies were tested like family.”
“We had an excellent experience with Alaska’s stay! They were very flexible with our schedule and had great communication throughout the entire time. We really appreciated receiving photos of Alaska during the day, it gave us peace of mind knowing she was happy and doing well. 🐶❤️ When we picked her up, they also gave us an update on how her day went, and Alaska looked so happy! It was clear that she had been well taken care of and had a great time. We were very happy with the care she received and would definitely come back again without a doubt. We highly recommend them! Thank you so much for taking such great care of our girl! 🐾💕”
About: Hi there! I’m a Boston Terrier owner and dog-lover in Belmont Shore. I like to stay active and I would love to take your dog on a walk (my dog is lazy and would rather stay home!). Some places I like to dog-walk are the green belt and the beach path. I’m very experienced in taking care of short-nosed dogs. I can't wait to meet your pup! I work remote so my schedule is very flexible. For daycare, I typically take dogs out for a midday walk and then they can relax in the house or yard while I work. I have a small, fenced front yard that I allow dogs to spend time in with supervision. I have a small dog (Boston Terrier) that will also be in the home if you book daycare. He is very friendly and enjoys other dogs after a few minutes warming up to them!
“Matt and Kim were incredible sitters! They sent us the cutest photos of Bogart with their son and made him feel so at home. They walked him and cuddled him (which is the quickest way to Bogart's heart) and treated him like their own <3 We'll definitely be booking with them again :)”
“Alyssa took great care of Lily, made communication easy and kept us updated throughout the day! Lily enjoyed her day relaxing and exploring. We would definitely book a stay with Alyssa again!”

About: Hi neighbors:) I'm Zeni! I have a background as an experienced pet sitter based in Orange County with a chemistry/pre-medical bachelor's degree and am an absolute animal person! I am here to deliver you the best in pet sitting services with exceptional reliability, detail orientation, and warmth. From pet feeding to walks, hygiene care to play time, I can provide everything your furry loveballs need in a pet sitter. Fell free to message me for more information and for a fully relaxed time away from home knowing that your favorite buddies are in great hands! I am a surgeon shadow for mainly orthopedic doctors in Newport Beach and Huntington Beach. It is incredibly easy to modify my schedule to best fit pet needs! Each animal is different and requires custom care!:) I can easily complete a list of tasks owners leave me while ensuring pets are having a very fun, comfortable, loving time concurrently and are provided with the warm company they deserve. If no list is provided, default tasks for dogs (water/food, walk, playtime) & cats (water/food, fur brushing, litter cleaning, playtime) will be completed on a timeline that works most happily with pets within my work hours.
“Laura is very responsive. She is polite and communicative. I am currently away for military training and she made scheduling with her very easy.Ahe worked with me on the first meet and greet Losi loved her. Highly recommend”
“10/10!!! Very clear with availability and provides excellent feedback. Have a somewhat complocated apartment building and Jennifer follows instructions well. More importantly, Charm is happy to see her and enjoys the walks she provides. Always on point with the Rover card. Thanks Jennifer!”
About: I truly believe in the importance of genuine care! Since animals can't verbally express their needs or emotions, I prioritize bonding with them, understanding their behaviors and cues. Building trust is paramount; your pet needs to feel safe and comfortable with me before any service is provided. I run my own business and find that I have ample free time to offer my services to our community while also making a few more furry friends! When providing care at the client's home, I ensure to familiarize myself with the pet's surroundings, maintaining their routine and environment as much as possible. This helps reduce stress and anxiety for the pet, fostering a sense of security and familiarity. Additionally, I adhere to any specific instructions provided by the pet owner to ensure the highest level of care and comfort for their beloved furry friend.
“I love working with Christopher! He’s diligent, responsible, dependable with his communication and so gentle and sweet w my Rosie! She’s just recovering from surgery so he took extra care with her to make sure her meds and potty schedule adhere to the doctors orders! I will keep counting on Christopher to be there for Rosie in the future!!”
“Our doggie absolutely loved Shelli! She helped us on a super short notice as our kid got sick, we will definitely reach back to her for dog walking and sitting!”
About: I’ve spent much of my adult life in roles where people trusted me with things that mattered to them like their homes, businesses, teams and even careers. I spent my undergraduate years as an Assistant Property Manager before becoming an LAX operations leader and former full-time recruiter, and I bring that same sense of responsibility to more than 10 years of caring for pets. I have especially good experience with senior animals: more than half of the dogs and cats I’ve cared for have been seniors. I love their personalities and am comfortable adjusting to slower walks, medication schedules, established routines and the little preferences that become especially important as pets get older. Even re-potty training them! At the other end of the spectrum, I’m an active person and outrigger paddler, so energetic dogs are very welcome too. Long walks, play and outdoor time fit my lifestyle after having been in grad school in upstate New York. My approach is individualized. My experience has taught me how much better the outcome is when you listen first, ask good questions and understand what constitutes a good fit. Pets aren’t any different. I want to learn their personality and normal routine so I can meet them where they are. My goal is for you to come home thinking, "My pets and home are happy, healthy, safe and ready for me to come back without skipping a beat." My schedule is flexible, and I plan my day around each pet’s routine. I often work from my computer remotely during the day and have broad availability for walks, drop-ins and house sitting. I do have activities outside the home, including early-morning outrigger paddling, but I make sure feeding, potty breaks, medication and other important routines are taken care of first. For house sitting, I’m generally a good fit for pets who are comfortable alone for 4–6 hours at a time, or longer when that is already part of their normal routine. I’m happy to talk through your pet’s schedule before booking and adjust where I reasonably can. I like to begin with a meet-and-greet so I can understand your pet’s normal behavior, routine, medications, household setup and emergency plan before care begins. I review instructions carefully and ask questions upfront that may include how you want me to communicate if something unexpected happens. I pay attention to changes that can be easy to miss, from unusual itching or appetite changes to changes in energy, bathroom habits or behavior, and I’ll let you know when something seems out of the ordinary. I’m equally conscientious with the home itself. I’m a “leave it better than you found it” person. I keep the spaces I use tidy, handle mail and packages according to your preferences, take out trash, water plants and care for linens when appropriate. If you already have cleaners, gardeners or other small business service providers, I’m happy to work around the systems you already have.
“Elise really did amazing with my very anxious rescue dog. She went above and beyond. She clearly has a gift for working with animals. I would highly recommend her for petsitting/dog walking. Five stars!”
About: Hi! I'm Ella, and I have professional experience working with dogs in a daycare and boarding facility. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities and am comfortable providing everything from walks and playtime to feeding, medication, and individualized care. Working in a professional dog-care environment taught me how important it is to pay attention to each dog's individual needs, recognize changes in behavior, and prioritize safety while still making sure every dog feels comfortable and cared for. I’m responsible, communicative, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I’m happy to provide regular photo and message updates so you can feel confident knowing your dog is safe and having a great time while you’re away. I’m currently attending school in the Long Beach area and am looking to build relationships with local pet parents who need a dependable, experienced sitter or walker. I’m currently a student, so my schedule is flexible and allows me to provide pet care throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, daycare, and boarding depending on my class schedule. I’m also available for weekend and holiday bookings when my schedule allows. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and making sure every pet feels comfortable and cared for. I have professional experience working in a dog daycare and boarding facility, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I follow each pet’s individual feeding, medication, exercise, and care instructions closely and pay attention to changes in behavior or health. In a client’s home, I respect their space and routines while keeping their pet’s environment clean and secure. I’m also happy to provide regular photo and message updates so owners can feel confident that their pets are safe and happy.
About: Hi I'm Lucy! I'm a lifelong dog lover who grew up with two Lab/Shepard mixes my whole life and 7 years of experience of dog care! I'm a huge dog lover, and this past year my husband and I adopted a German Shepard/Great Pyrenes/Aussie named Bodhi from the animal shelter - and he's my best friend! I have experience training dogs of different breeds and can read dog body language very well. With my dog, I have done extensive training including potty training, basic commands, recall, E-collar training, and more! When taking care of your pup, I treat them as my own and make sure I tailor my services to what works best for them. As a fellow dog owner, I understand how important your guidelines and expectations are for your pup, and their safety and happiness are my top priority. I understand how hard it can be to work full time while having your furry bff at home. Whether you have a young pup or old soul, I'd love to help you take care of them so can have peace of mind and they can have fun! I'm currently working part time and obtaining a yoga teacher certification, so I have plenty of free time! I'm my schedule is free on Monday-Thursday for hours between 6am- 6pm. I am not available for any Friday-Sunday work due to my yoga teacher training. I love taking my dog to the dog beach at Long Beach and as well as going on long walks! When I'm caring for your pups, I make sure they will get plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. As a dog owner of a very active breed, I know how important it is to burn their energy and stimulate their brain! I will never push your pup to the edge of their comfort zone - and know the body language they portray when they are uncomfortable. I will always talk through your expectations and how we can collaborate to take the best care of your pup at the very beginning of their care. As a dog owner I understand that your directions and expectations for your dog are the most important thing!
About: I have experience with many types of animals in the past few years. From large dogs such as huskies, golden retrievers to bulldogs. To smaller dogs such as Shih Tzu, Frenchies and even new born puppies! I also have experience with bird care and rodents. A love for animals means to give them the best quality care. I am currently working part time with mid day-closing shifts. I tend to have 2-3 days off a weeks, which allows me to be able to have dedicated time to take care of people’s furry babies. I am very aware of my surroundings so when it comes to client homes. I’ll keep a good eye on not just the pet, but the care for the home. Any loose toys, objects or cables will be protected and remain out of sight of the pet for their safety. I’ll take care and make sure your pet has the fun they need, while maintaining a tidy home.
About: I grew up with a mini dachshund and currently have a pug. I pet sit all the time for friends and family, including my sister who has a dog, 2 cats, 2 rabbits, fish, and the list keeps going. I've pet sat both at my apartment and house sat in a pet's home. At my apartment, I've dog sat for up to a month! My little pug loves having a new buddy around to play, go on walks, and snuggle with. My pug is my life. I work from home and she's always by my side, following me everywhere. Every morning we go for a walk around the Naples canals in Long Beach after she has her breakfast. During the day, she mostly snuggles on my lap or entertains herself if we don't have another buddy visiting us. We take breaks to get fresh air and take potty breaks at the beach. In the afternoon, we'll usually go on a shorter walk before or after dinner. I try to take her with me anywhere I go, even if it's just a short errand where she can enjoy a car ride. On the occasions I can't take her with me, she has full reign of the apartment, but I think she spends most of her time snuggled on the couch with soft blankets and pillow. When I need to be away from her for longer than usual, I usually coordinate to have her visit one of her nearby buddies or stay with my mom & sister where she gets to play with little my niece and nephew, their dog, and enjoy being around lots of other free roaming animals (chickens, bunnies, cats) If I'm at a client's home, I ensure I'm informed about all the places the pet(s) like to go, where their favorite toys are, and where their food & medicine is. If I'm pet sitting for an extended period of time, or more than just a daily check-in, my pug will be with me. She loves being around big dogs or small dogs, is very submissive, loves to play, but is also ok giving space if the other pet is not interested. If a backyard is available, I love to be outdoors and get the dogs some exercise by playing ball or tag. If an enclosed area isn't available, your dog will always be leashed. On walks, I'm conscientious about our surroundings. I pay attention to any rogue "snacks" in our path and other dogs approaching. I always ask another dog owner if their dog is friendly and if mine can say hi. If they're not, it's no problem! We'll continue on and cross the street if need be. My walks with my pug tend to be longer in time and fairly slow moving, making lots of stops to sniff. Sniffing is an important activity for any dog, and expends a lot of energy, so I stop as long as my dog wants to sniff at certain spot so she can get her fill. I'll treat your dog with the same respect and care as I provide my own.
“It is very difficult to trust people with your dog. Popi was wonderful! Great communication, punctual, and handled my sometimes difficult big dogs well! I would highly recommend her and would book again in the future!”

I can ensure safety and trust between me and your fuzzy friend by respecting their boundaries and following their schedules. Additionally, I carry experience with pet CPR, hold an emergency crate in my car, and will adapt to any needs your pet describes.
About: I’ve been dog sitting since I was 16 for friends, family, and online clients, and I genuinely love being around animals. I’m responsible, respectful, and very attentive to each pet’s routine and personality. I know trusting someone with your pet — and sometimes your home — is a big deal, so I always make communication and reliability a priority. I’m happy to send plenty of updates and photos, follow any instructions you leave, and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether they love walks, playtime, or just hanging out, I’ll treat your pet with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. I’m a college student with a pretty flexible schedule, and I have my own car, so getting back and forth for pet care is never an issue. I’m always willing to make the trip to make sure your pet gets the attention, walks, feeding, and care they need. I also work part-time, but my shifts are typically only 3–4 hours, so I’m never away for long periods of time. I’m great at planning around my classes and work schedule and making pet care a priority! Safety, Trust & Environment I always try to keep pets as close to their normal routine as possible so they feel comfortable and safe. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions closely, and I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection based on their personality! When I’m in a client’s home, I’m also very respectful of their space and make sure everything is kept clean and secure. I’ll always communicate clearly, send updates and photos, and make sure you feel confident that both your pet and your home are being well taken care of!
About: I’m very patient with pets, as i believe that they need special care with their daily living. I am someone who can make them feel loved and safe. I, myself have a miniature pinscher that can be handful at times but I very much love being with him. Dogs have this little world that makes me feel happy and peaceful, taking care of them is something i enjoy. I work full time in the day, but i still manage to walk my dog in the morning and the afternoon. Just like my dog, I am happy to welcome yours too and i will very much enjoy their company. I’d take them adventures and fun play times. I hope to meet your lovely dog! - Margie

“Our dog Blue had the best time staying with Dianiris and her family. From the get go, Dianiris responded quickly to texts and was very kind and reassuring (I might have been having a little separation anxiety of my own lol). I really appreciated all of the check-ins and photos she sent while Blue was with her too. Dianiris will definitely be our go-to sitter if we are back in the area!”
“Matthew and Kim were great! They were super friendly, caring, reliable and communicative. After meeting them we felt great about leaving our puppy with them for her first overnight away from us. They kept us updated with pictures and text messages about how she was doing. We feel so fortunate to have found them to take care of our girl!”
“We had a great experience with Erin watching our Labrador retriever for the weekend. We appreciated the updates and pictures she sent us. Will definitely book again!”
“Christine is a treasure. She took care of my dog Rico like he was her own. Upon me, dropping her off, she immediately began walking him. She communicated with me every step of the way to inform me of how my pet is doing. My wife expressed that she was so happy that we were able to have free time because Christine was a reliable caretaker for our pet. We will definitely book again. She’s worth her weight and gold. Thank you, Christine. P. Kenji Bonds”
“Corrine and Louis were perfect! I felt our dogs were cared for just like they are at home and will definitely request to book again in the future when needed.”
“Marlo is amazing! Very communicative, flexible, and patient with my anxious dog. It was clear from the moment I dropped him off that Marlo really cared about making sure he was comfortable in a new space. Highly recommend!”
“Jennifer was amazing with our dog, Bowie! She was great at communicating and sent us updates and pictures multiple times throughout the day, which we really appreciated. Bowie had so much fun playing with her dogs, and it was clear that she treated him like one of her own. Jennifer is wonderful with dogs, and you can tell how much she genuinely loves and cares for them. We felt completely comfortable knowing Bowie was in such good hands. We will definitely be bringing our boy back to stay with her again!”
“Laura was fantastic. She’s very quick to respond and took my dog on a very short notice. She was great with him. He was so happy to be with her and her dogs. He came home happy and healthy. Thank you so much!!!”
“Chris was absolutely wonderful! He took exceptional care of Kai, going above and beyond to ensure he was comfortable and happy. His professionalism and attention to detail were evident from the start, and I truly appreciated the frequent updates and numerous photos he provided. It gave me so much peace of mind while traveling, knowing Kai was in such great hands. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking Chris again!”
“Sara took such great care of our dog while we were away, sending us pictures and updates throughout her entire stay. She was treated like one of the family. Our dog really enjoyed her experience and we would definitely recommend Sara to everyone.”
“Maria is amazing for our timid Pixie! Maria is knowledgeable and very patient as it took a few days for Pixie to settle. We also feel very safe leaving Pixie with Maria!”
“Sarah took such good care of Ellie. Ellie is a rescue who has big trust issues. Sarah has such a calm and loving demeanor and I believe that Ellie felt safe right way. Sarah's little guy Max was so friendly and welcoming to Ellie. Thank you so very much Sarah! Bob and Linda Murphy”
“Irene was great with our pups! We would love for her to sit for them in the future. She shared updates while we were on our trip. She reviewed the care document, and knew how to set up their crates and put their complicated harnesses on. Our pups are high energy breeds and but they came home relaxed and content. When we went to pick them up Bone Thug ran back to give Irene a little pup love before leaving. That was the biggest sign of care and happiness to me.”
“Denise watched our dog for a week over the holidays. She was easily one of the best sitters we’ve ever had. From our first meet and greet, it was clear she was experienced and thoughtful. When we arrived for the meet and greet, she already had water set out and dog toys ready. She asked detailed questions about our dog’s routine and behavior. It was obvious she genuinely wanted to create the best possible environment for him. While we were away, Denise sent more photos and updates than we’ve ever received from a sitter, which we truly appreciated! It helped ease the anxiety I always feel when leaving our dog behind. When we picked him up, he didn’t even seem excited to see us. I’m convinced this was because he was having such a great time that he didn’t want to leave! We will definitely be booking with Denise again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“Wonderful person, she kept me updated the whole time (me and my husband were out for 5 days) Vanessa sent me pictures and videos everyday at all times. Will definitely be requiring her assistance in the future. Totzy misses her!”
“Everyone wants to know that their pet is well looked after when in the care of another. With Roy you can be assured that he will provide the best of care. This was the second booking with him. My dog Windsor didn't seem to be happy leaving when it was time to pick him up. Clearly he was comfortable and well treated while I was away. Roy was also great at communicating and providing assurance that all was well during the duration of the stay. Will look forward to leaving Windsor with Roy again. Highly recommend!”
About: I grew up with dogs, and so did my wife, so caring for them has always been a part of our lives. We recently said goodbye to our own dog after 16 wonderful years together, and we know how important it is to find someone you can trust with a beloved family member. Because I work from home, your dog will have plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. We provide a safe, comfortable, dog-friendly home where every pup is treated with patience and care. Whether your dog enjoys relaxing, playing, or going for walks, we’ll do our best to keep them on their normal routine so they feel right at home. I work from home, so I’m available throughout the day for potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship. My flexible schedule allows me to give dogs consistent attention and keep them on their normal routine Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. We have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and no other pets in the home, allowing us to focus on your dog’s individual needs. Our 10-year-old daughter has grown up around dogs and is gentle and respectful with them. Because I work from home, your dog will receive close supervision, regular potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I’ll follow your dog’s routine as closely as possible and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Jessica and her family were absolutely AMAZING! Our dog Bailey had a wonderful doggie vacation at their house while we were away. He was so well cared for and treated just like part of their family! Plus we got the best pictures to know he was doing ok! It made our vacation better by knowing Bailey was so well cared for and loved. We can’t wait for Bailey to go back and spend time with Jessica and her family again soon!”
