“As a first time user for boarding, Renee was the perfect choice! She was very nice, attentive, and quick to respond with any needs. Her home and pets are a great place to send your furry child. Would recommend ❤️🐾”
About: I’d say what really sets me apart is how much I genuinely care about the pets I’m watching. I don’t just “check in” on them I try to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I take time to learn their personality, routines, and little habits so I can care for them in a way that feels familiar to them. I have experience with both young and senior pets. With puppies, I’m patient and consistent with things like potty training, basic commands, and building good habits. With older pets, I understand they may need a slower pace, extra attention, or help with things like medication and sticking to a routine. I’m also big on communication I like to send updates and pictures so you know your pet is doing well. Overall, I just treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel as happy and stress free as possible. I currently live with my partner and my puppy all i do at home is do online school and take care of my puppy all day! I have a fenced backyard a pet safe house with pet gates as well lots of toys and food of course! I love caring for pets i am studying to become a Vet tech
“Julie and her husband are great! Our pup was well taken care of while we were away. Julie sent me updates along with pictures of Moose while he played in their yard! We will definitely be sending Moose back on our next vacation.”
“Ana was such a great sitter for our dog Jowdee ?? She went above and beyond to ensure a lovely and comfortable stay for him. She constantly stayed in touch with photos and videos. Definitely recommend and will use Ana again if we ever need our dog watched over ?”
“Karla was amazing with my shy dog. She made sure she ate her food separate from the other dogs and Zelda had so much fun playing all weekend. Absolutely recommend Karla as a sitter!”
“Maribel was so good with my Gidget girl. Maribel sent me photos and updates every day. It really set me at ease knowing she was being so well taken care of. Maribel has a huge back yard so Gidget could run and play. Maribel was so nice and easy to talk to. I will definitely use Rover/Maribel again for my dog sitting needs.”
“Adriana was so welcoming, gentle & nice. She took great care of our big boy and her family was also very welcoming of our pup. Don’t hesitate to book with her! You will truly feel like your dog is part of her family. Thank you!!”
“Barbara is fantastic! This was our first time using Rover so we were a bit nervous but she put us completely at ease upon meeting her and how sweet she was with our pup! She sent plenty of photos reassuring us that our boy was kept VERY comfortable! We will absolutely use her again!!”
“Jill and Liz were great, I’d give them 10stars if I can. They worked within our range to board our 3 small dogs for overnight. Jill made sure the pets can explore and get accustomed to the place so my dogs get comfortable before we left. She set up my babies own spot as they have other dogs. We were very worried that they have other dogs in the home plus boarding too at the time because my dogs are aggressive towards other dogs and especially our little chihuahua who can’t be walked in the park because of this reason. To my family’s amazement, the day we picked them up, my dogs are mingling with 3 huge dogs—calmly!!! And my chihuahua was even standing under legs of another tall dog like they had a good time in general! None were aggressive and they all get along!!! Just for that experience for my dogs and the fact they were able to do that, is such a good plus!!! Thank you Jill and Liz!! Highly recommended multiple times over!!!”
“Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my pets! 100% recommend to anyone looking for boarding for their animals. My kitten LOVED being with Nalani so much he didn’t want to come back home! I will only be using Nalani from here on out when having to board my pets. I couldn’t have asked for better care for them she has A LOT of toys for them too.”
“It was hard to leave my dog with any sitter, however, I’m very glad I left my dog with Akie! She took such good care of my frenchie. Akie was wonderful with my frenchie and really made me feel at ease knowing my frenchie was safe and in good hands. Akie had a great home and very accommodating to dogs.”
“Anna was awesome.! When it was time to go home Napoleon didn’t want to go home and wanted to follow Anna back into her home. I’m sure Anna treated Napoleon as her own during his stay. Anna; texted me pictures and updates throughout his stay. Will definitely be coming back.”
“Shanna for very kind and loving person, she accepted as last minute as we were planning weekend in Yosemite and dropped our pets Dallas and Hershey over the weekend with her, they were very happy there and she took care of them Very well. Will again book with her when opportunity comes again, she fed them nicely and took care of them very well and they felt being in their home.”
“Stephanie was very sweet and accepted Margot warmly. Her fur baby Maverick was also very kind and welcoming to Margot. I heard they played the whole time we were gone. I will definitely be booking again!”
“What a wonderful experience! I had a last minute cancellation and this wonderful lady was able to take my lab :). She sent me photos and videos everyday and even told me how his bowels were and gave me tips on his food !! If I could rate it would be 10000/10.”

About: Cats were my first ever pet that I was allowed as a young girl. I’ve had many throughout the years and many kittens born under the dresser in my room. Now my backyard is where the neighborhood stray cats come to eat and get love every day from me.
About: Ever since I can remember, I've always had cats around, making me a huge cat lover. Right now, I have four adorable cats of my own and also look after some neighborhood strays. My experience with cats isn't just personal; I've been the go-to person for taking care of my neighbors' and friends' cats too. This means I know all about the cuddles, playtime, and care they need to be happy. I truly believe cats are the most wonderful pets, and I understand how important it is to make sure they are well looked after and loved. I'm really good at making sure each cat feels special, whether it's through their favorite game or just some quiet time together. I know how to handle the small details, like giving them their medicine if they need it, and I'm all about making sure they're having a good time. To me, cats are part of the family, and I promise to treat yours with all the love and attention they deserve. Let me help take care of your furry friends; I'll make sure they're as happy as can be until you're back!

About: I’ve been caring for pets for a few years, mostly for close friends and family. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or just keeping them company while their family is away, I’ve always treated pets as my own. I often help with housesitting and babysitting as well, so I’ve learned to also juggle multiple responsibilities. I’m back home for the summer from college, so my schedule is open! Aside from family responsibilities, I can be pretty flexible with dates or times! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always do my best to keep their routines as normal and comfortable as possible. I’m not afraid to ask clarifying questions about your pets to ensure I am giving them the best care. :)

I believe clear communication is important, so I'll provide updates and photos during each visit so you always know how your pet is doing.

I’m reliable with feeding schedules, bathroom breaks, exercise, and keeping pets comfortable while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I make sure pets are supervised, well cared for, and kept in a clean, calm environment. I carefully follow any routines, feeding instructions, medications, or special care requests provided by owners. I’m patient, attentive, and focused on making pets feel safe, loved, and stress-free while in my care.
About: I’ve always had pets growing up. For a majority of my childhood, I had four dogs (three chihuahuas and a golden labrador) and two birds (a cockatiel and indian ring neck). When I moved out, I brought two dogs and a bird with me and took care of them as they aged. I have spent years volunteering for an animal shelter and I have experience giving medications and taking care of animals in general. I am a third year medical student so currently my schedule is a little bit crazy. I’d still love to help out with your pet so let me know and I will try to make it work! Safety and trust are very important to me. I will take every precaution to ensure your pet is as safe as possible. I value communication and will let you know if I have any questions or concerns regarding your animal.
About: I’m reliable, caring, and have a love for animals. I offer attentive house and pet sitting you can truly feel good about. I come from a stable, quiet home environment with a flexible schedule, which allows me to give your pets the time and attention the deserve. I take pride in being dependable, detail-oriented, and respectful by treating every home with care and mindfulness, just as I would my own. You can count on me to keep routines running smoothly while making sure your pets feel safe and well cared for. I love all four-legged friends and enjoy spending my time in a meaningful way. This isn’t just about earning a little extra income, although that helps. It’s something I simply enjoy and take seriously, so you can travel with complete peace of mind knowing everything is in good hands. I work very little during the summer and have very flexible hours during the academic year. I am available and willing to take care of your pets exactly how they need to be cared for. I treat everyone’s home as if it were my own. I’m clean, respectful, and leave any space just as I found it, or cleaner :)
About: I was raised in a dog friendly family. I have taken care of dogs since my teenage years. I dog sit for family often. Dogs & Cats are family! I am a stay at home dog, cat, fish, and toddler mom. My daily schedule consist of rising early spending the morning outside with my animals. We like to tend to our yard and vegetable garden first. A trip to the park with my toddler and dog before it gets too hot is a must. My yard is fenced with brick at the end of a culdasec. We have one friendly dog and four cats. We all love being outside together. We travel as a pack. I feed the first meal around 6am and then usually open up the back door so the dog and cats can roam freely in the backyard. They like hanging in our veggie garden. Once my toddler wakes up we will go for a walk, play, or even go to the park. We love to pet and cuddle our animals throughout the day. We feed again around 5pm. Your dog or cat will get plenty of love while in my care. I want them to feel part of our family!
About: I've been surrounded by pets my entire life, giving me a deep understanding and a genuine passion for their care. From leisurely walks to cozy days in, I've extended my love and patience to not only my neighbors' pets but also to my own 4 cats and several local strays. My commitment to providing a nurturing, fun, and safe environment for pets is unwavering. I believe every pet deserves love and dedicated care, and I bring this philosophy to life with every furry friend I meet. Pet care is my main focus, allowing me to have an extremely flexible schedule throughout the week and on weekends. Because I manage my own hours, I can easily adapt to your dog’s or cat's specific routine, making sure they get their walks, meals, and potty breaks exactly when they are used to them. Whether you need early morning visits, midday dog walks, or someone dedicated to staying overnight at your house, I can structure my day perfectly around your pet’s needs to ensure they are never left waiting! Ensuring your pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable in their own home is my absolute top priority. When staying at your place or doing drop-in visits, I maintain your pet's exact daily routine to prevent any anxiety, treating your home with the utmost respect and cleanliness. I am extremely detail-oriented with feeding schedules, medication (if needed), fresh water, and active potty breaks. Plus, I love keeping you close to your furry best friends by sending frequent photo and video updates throughout the day, so you can have total peace of mind while you are away!

“As a first time user for boarding, Renee was the perfect choice! She was very nice, attentive, and quick to respond with any needs. Her home and pets are a great place to send your furry child. Would recommend ❤️🐾”
About: I’d say what really sets me apart is how much I genuinely care about the pets I’m watching. I don’t just “check in” on them I try to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I take time to learn their personality, routines, and little habits so I can care for them in a way that feels familiar to them. I have experience with both young and senior pets. With puppies, I’m patient and consistent with things like potty training, basic commands, and building good habits. With older pets, I understand they may need a slower pace, extra attention, or help with things like medication and sticking to a routine. I’m also big on communication I like to send updates and pictures so you know your pet is doing well. Overall, I just treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel as happy and stress free as possible. I currently live with my partner and my puppy all i do at home is do online school and take care of my puppy all day! I have a fenced backyard a pet safe house with pet gates as well lots of toys and food of course! I love caring for pets i am studying to become a Vet tech
“Julie and her husband are great! Our pup was well taken care of while we were away. Julie sent me updates along with pictures of Moose while he played in their yard! We will definitely be sending Moose back on our next vacation.”
“Karla was amazing with my shy dog. She made sure she ate her food separate from the other dogs and Zelda had so much fun playing all weekend. Absolutely recommend Karla as a sitter!”
“Adriana was so welcoming, gentle & nice. She took great care of our big boy and her family was also very welcoming of our pup. Don’t hesitate to book with her! You will truly feel like your dog is part of her family. Thank you!!”
“Barbara is fantastic! This was our first time using Rover so we were a bit nervous but she put us completely at ease upon meeting her and how sweet she was with our pup! She sent plenty of photos reassuring us that our boy was kept VERY comfortable! We will absolutely use her again!!”
“Jill and Liz were great, I’d give them 10stars if I can. They worked within our range to board our 3 small dogs for overnight. Jill made sure the pets can explore and get accustomed to the place so my dogs get comfortable before we left. She set up my babies own spot as they have other dogs. We were very worried that they have other dogs in the home plus boarding too at the time because my dogs are aggressive towards other dogs and especially our little chihuahua who can’t be walked in the park because of this reason. To my family’s amazement, the day we picked them up, my dogs are mingling with 3 huge dogs—calmly!!! And my chihuahua was even standing under legs of another tall dog like they had a good time in general! None were aggressive and they all get along!!! Just for that experience for my dogs and the fact they were able to do that, is such a good plus!!! Thank you Jill and Liz!! Highly recommended multiple times over!!!”
“Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my pets! 100% recommend to anyone looking for boarding for their animals. My kitten LOVED being with Nalani so much he didn’t want to come back home! I will only be using Nalani from here on out when having to board my pets. I couldn’t have asked for better care for them she has A LOT of toys for them too.”
“It was hard to leave my dog with any sitter, however, I’m very glad I left my dog with Akie! She took such good care of my frenchie. Akie was wonderful with my frenchie and really made me feel at ease knowing my frenchie was safe and in good hands. Akie had a great home and very accommodating to dogs.”
“Shanna for very kind and loving person, she accepted as last minute as we were planning weekend in Yosemite and dropped our pets Dallas and Hershey over the weekend with her, they were very happy there and she took care of them Very well. Will again book with her when opportunity comes again, she fed them nicely and took care of them very well and they felt being in their home.”
“Stephanie was very sweet and accepted Margot warmly. Her fur baby Maverick was also very kind and welcoming to Margot. I heard they played the whole time we were gone. I will definitely be booking again!”

“Dominie took excellent care of my pet and was super consistent with updating me multiple times a day with pictures and videos of my pet included with the updates.

About: For over 7 years, I’ve provided dedicated care for dogs of all breeds and ages. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, playtime, or extra cuddles, I treat every pet like family. Pet parents trust me to keep their furry friends safe, happy, and loved while they’re away. This will be a safe space for them. I work full-time Mon-Fri. However, Fri-Sun I have more than enough time to provide proper care and lots of attention to your furry friends. They're in good hands. During certain months there will be availability during weekdays I provide a safe, welcoming environment with a fenced backyard and one friendly cat, Kurin, for companionship. If needed, I can easily crate your pup. I always supervise playtime, ensure pets have fresh water, and give them plenty of love and attention so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I would like them to roam freely around the house unless specified otherwise. The goal is to try and recreate their normal routine, so they feel at home.
“Priscilla watched our very active German Shepherd puppy and did an excellent job. Communication was great. She responded quickly to any messages sent. We would definitely use her again!”
“I was a little uneasy leaving our 3month puppy just because we never left shadow anywhere before. But Shyla was great and sent photos and video of shadow playing and just being free! I love he got to have a big backyard yard to roam and play with her other dogs. He didn't want to leave! 😆 Will definitely rebook, and will be dropping shadow off from time to time just for day care. Book this lovely family for your fur-babies!!”
“Haley and her family provided a comforting home away from home for our doggos. We left our two dogs (one big, one small) with Haley and her family for 5 days while we went on vacation. Haley sent pictures, asked lots of good questions and really made us and the dogs feel at ease. We could tell our dogs were well cared for. We would love to have Haley’s help with our dogs again!”
About: I’ve been taking care of homes & pets since I was 11 years old. I always make sure there is a safe environment and room for a pet to be themselves. I look forward to caring for your sweet animals!:) I currently work part time and am home quite a bit so I have ample time to spend with your dog. I also have a massive backyard with grass area, plants, and a pool if they like swimming. My priority is to make sure that your pet feels comfortable around me regardless of the environment. I believe that once the pet feels safe with its caretaker, then the environment doesn’t play a huge role.
