“Really grateful we found Irina. We have NEVER left our fur baby with anyone, but last minute plans meant we were in a bind and needed care for our dog over the weekend. Irina was very responsive and communicative. She invited us inside during the drop off which really helped us feel comfortable. You can tell she is an animal lover. She was very sweet with our pup. She sent photos and videos throughout the weekend. We would definitely recommend Irina. One tip, if you are using Irina's services for the first time, I would recommend writing down any feeding or care instructions. English is her second language so written care instructions are helpful.”
“We boarded our two dogs for the first time with Carrie and her family for an overnight stay. My husband and I could tell right away that they were going to be in great hands. I appreciated the quick responses and the update on how they were doing. We would definitely utilize this amazing family again and feel safe and reassured doing so. Sincerely, The Navarrete Family”
“I cannot say enough good things about Catherine and Ernie and the care they provided for my English Labrador, Luna. Luna stayed with them for six days and nights, and the difference in her behavior has been remarkable. It's now been three days since she came home, and I am still noticing positive changes in her temperament and obedience. They provided the perfect balance of structure, consistency, and what I would call "tough love," which is exactly what Luna needed. Before her stay, Luna could be difficult on walks, would pull on the leash, react aggressively toward other dogs, and even try to bite her collar when I put it on. Catherine and Ernie not only worked with Luna during her stay, but they also took the time to teach me techniques that I could continue using at home. The results were almost immediate. Luna no longer tries to bite her collar, walks much more calmly, and is significantly easier to handle on a leash. One of the biggest improvements came from introducing a prong collar and teaching me how to use it correctly. Walking Luna is now much more enjoyable, and she is far less reactive toward other dogs. Catherine also recommended training videos and resources to help me continue Luna's progress. There are countless dog-training videos on YouTube, but it was incredibly valuable to have someone show me techniques that were specifically effective for my dog. Another thing I truly appreciated was the communication. Catherine kept me updated throughout Luna's stay with regular texts, photos, and videos, which gave me peace of mind and allowed me to see Luna's progress firsthand. If you are looking for dog sitters who genuinely care about your dog's well-being and are willing to go above and beyond to help improve behavior and training, I highly recommend Catherine and Ernie. Luna came home happier, calmer, and more obedient, and I am extremely grateful for everything they did for her.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Amazing Experience!!! I Couldn’t Have Asked for Better Care Leaving Tonka for the first time was honestly nerve racking, but Naiomie made the entire experience stress free from day one. She sent me updates, photos, and videos throughout every single day, so I never had to wonder how he was doing. It quickly became obvious that she wasn’t just watching him, she genuinely cared about him. She took the time to learn his personality, celebrate his milestones, and even pointed out little behaviors that helped me become a better dog owner. She introduced him to her dogs slowly and safely, and before long they were playing together like old friends. Seeing my puppy build confidence, socialize appropriately, and genuinely enjoy himself meant the world to me. She even noticed that Tonka learned to ring the bell when he needed to go outside and made sure to reinforce that behavior. What impressed me most was her attention to detail. She kept his bedding clean, cleaned his eyes daily, monitored his potty habits, let me know about behaviors that needed training, and adapted her routine to fit what worked best for him. She didn’t just tell me everything was perfect, she gave me honest updates and thoughtful observations, which I really appreciated. By the end of his stay, it honestly seemed like Tonka had become part of the family. She told me she was sad to see him leave, and I could tell the feeling was mutual. As an owner, that’s incredibly reassuring. If you’re looking for someone who will love your dog like they’re her own, communicate consistently, and provide exceptional care, I recommend Naiomie without hesitation. Tonka will absolutely be staying with her again. Thank you, Naiomie, for taking such incredible care of my boy. You gave me complete peace of mind, and that’s priceless. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 Stars!!! Highly recommended!!!”
“I was nervous about leaving my dog for a few days for a work trip, but I appreciate that Tammy was open to doing a pre-meeting to meet my dog and put me at ease. I also appreciate that Tammy kept me updated with pictures everyday while I was traveling. Would book again!”
“Anais was very aware and considerate of my dog’s needs and our preferences. She was communicative and shared pictures throughout the stay. I will definitely reach out to Anais again in the future.”
“Kenia was awesome with Brownie. She sent updates throughout the entire time and he seemed happy when picking him up although it was dark and he couldn't really see me. He was protective of Kenia which goes to show what kind of bond they developed in such a short time frame. I would recommend and use Kenia again.”
“Cole M. gave our senior Chihuahua, Lily, exceptional care by providing adequate space to play/explore, feeding her, and keeping her safe while walking her. Lily seemed to feel at ease with Cole and the other 3 puppies/dog. Lily like her new friends, and we enjoyed trusting Cole with our dog. Lily stayed in Cole's loving care from Sat., 6/1 to Sun., 6/2. We plan on utilizing Rover.com to book some future dates with Cole as our dog sitter. Thanks again Cole M. ~Prof. Keith & Roz H.”

“Blaze was very kind and attentive to Mila. I got pictures/videos daily and she fielded all of my questions/concerns with the utmost professionalism. Her knowledge about all things animals was evident and I know that my pup is in good hands. I’ve already secured her care for another trip of mine!”
“Kirsten was wonderful with my dog. She kept me posted, and was flexible with a later pick-up. Her kids were great with my dog, and kept her entertained, which I appreciated a lot. ☺️”
“Hong was great! My shy dog took to her and her other dogs very well. He got the attention he needed, and Hong followed his schedule very well. She sent constant updates with pictures and videos of my boy. I'm definitely going to have Hong watch my dog again.”
“My mother in-law passed away and we needed someone to take care of our fur babies on short notice while we were out of the country for the funeral and Davinderjit came to the rescue. We had a meet and greet before the day we have to leave and Baloo immediately felt at home. While we were gone, we were updated of how Baloo was doing and sent us photos of the silly baby. Being away from the country we knew our fur baby was in good hands. We have a planned trip in September and we have already considered Davinderjit to take care of Baloo while we are gone. We highly recommend Davinderjit for boarding services and we’ll definitely will use her again when the need arises.”

“Daniel and Huang are so patient with our two puppies while we are still working on training. They have a great set up for dogs and wonderful backyard for them to run around. Our dogs didn't seem to even care that we left lol the drop off and pick up was so seamless, it seemed to cause zero stress on our dogs, almost like they were on vacation too! I have peace of mind with them and they're now our go-to dog sitters. 10/10 recommend.”
“This was my first time leaving Yoshi with a sitter and I was definitely anxious leaving him for 10 days while I was out of the country with family. But from our initial meet-and-greet with Denise at her home, I knew immediately that Yoshi would be well taken care of, and I was right! What reassured me the most was Denise’s gentle and sweet manner - Yoshi warmed up to her immediately. I appreciated that she didn’t require Yoshi be crate trained because he is accustomed to roaming freely in our home. I made sure to study Denise’s profile and read her reviews carefully and was so relieved that Yoshi’s stay with her lived up to my expectations. Denise sent me daily updates with pictures and sometimes videos, first thing in the morning and at the end of each day, so I never had to wonder whether Yoshi was ok. I loved that he had the opportunity to make new friends and that he seemed very comfortable around her kids. The next time I need a sitter, whether for a few days or an extended vacation, I will not hesitate to Denise again and highly recommend her services! :)”
“My dog was very comfortable with Rekha. My dog is usually very nervous and I could tell she enjoyed her stay. Rekha and her family are very nice people and I would recommend her dogsitting to anyone.”
“Debra was an amazing sitter for our dog. She was very welcoming. We had a meet and greet before the stay. Her home provided a great space for Scout to relax. For future trips we plan to use Debra again!”

Prices are estimates per visit for 1 cat. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: I’ve owned dogs my entire life. I have trained almost all my dogs since they were puppies. I have trained my own service dog. I have a passion for training dogs. I am currently retired, so I have plenty of time to play with and train your pup. I can take them for daily walks around the park as well. I have a fenced yard and a nearby park to take your dog for a walk. I have my own friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I have a cat, but if your dog does not like cats, I can isolate may cat from your dog. My big dog seems to have a way of knowing how to make dogs feel comfortable in our home. He knows when to interact with them and when to just leave them alone. I am retired so I have lots of time to spend with your dog. I try to schedule my activities around when I have dogs, so I can devote all my time to caring for the dogs. I have a fenced in yard. I always supervise dogs when they are outside. I try to set up play dates with a neighbor who also works for Rover. My husband and family members are usually around to play with and take dogs on walks. I am currently transforming my services to focus more on training sessions in my client’s home. My main focus is working with young pups and to start training from day one, although I welcome the opportunity to train dogs of all ages. My goals are to offer support to dog owners on how to properly train desired behaviors in their dogs. I closely monitor all dogs, especially during play. I train the dogs how to play appropriately with each other. I will only crate dogs if it’s for their own safety. The only services I do in a client’s home are training sessions with the client present.
“Amy was great! We felt so reassured that our kitty was getting the attention she needed while we were gone. I appreciated the daily photo updates and could tell she took great care of our girl.”
About: I provide a safe and caring environment for pets. At my home, I have a fenced yard for secure outdoor play, along with regular feeding, fresh water, exercise, and plenty of attention. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s routine closely, including walks, meals, potty breaks, and any special care needs to keep them comfortable.
“Ashley is a dedicated and caring pet sitter! My cat loved her and got some excellent quality time and enrichment from her visits. Ashley showed up and sent updates and photos every day. She is also diligent about asking questions to ensure the best care for your pets. Highly recommended.”
“Jenny is the best!!! Always had our cat looking forward to her visits and we enjoyed the pictures/comments. Gave us ease of mind while we were away and she also looked after our snake!! The updates provided let us know our cats mood and eating habits.”
“Holly did a great job looking after my cat! She was communicative, thorough, and took wonderful pictures. He clearly enjoyed his time with her and warmed up very quickly! When I need a sitter in future she will be at the top of the list.”
“It was a little nerve-wracking having a house-sitter we’d never meet before taking care of our cats, but Ayanna was great. The cats are happy, and everything is in good shape. I highly recommend her services.”
About: Here’s a sassier spin that sets you apart: "I’ve been bossing the cat-sitting game since I was a kid always had at least three cats of my own, and I’m the go to for family and friends when they need a sitter. I don’t just watch cat I treat them like the vips they are. Your fur baby’s not just in good hands, they’re in the best hands.
About: Hi! I absolutely love cats and I have 3 inside cats and 4 outside cats :) I get cuteness aggression when it comes to furry animals and it’s pretty intense. I’m good at giving medication and I’m not afraid of the claws! Book me if your babies wants more pets and love :)
“Patrick did a great job taking care of our dog and our cat for drop-in visits while we were away. He was kind and attentive. I would definitely use his services again and recommend him to others.”
“Claudia did an amazing job taking care of our two kitties while we were away! She was very easy to communicate with and left detailed notes on how the cats were doing after each visit. She also took some great pictures, which we really enjoyed seeing each day. She followed all of our detailed instructions and we could tell the cats were well taken care of when we returned. She gave us peace of mind during our time away and I would recommend Claudia’s services to anyone looking for help caring for their furry friends. We will definitely have her help us out again in the future!”
About: I've had at least one cat since I was a child, and I have been housesitting since I graduated from high school. I know that cats have their own behaviors and schedules, and I make sure to adjust to their needs. I have a current RVT license and have been and RVT for over 10 years. I am comfortable with medications and medical treatments if needed. Multi-cat households are no problem.
About: I’ve always had an affinity for animals. I trained & loved my 2 yorkies until they passed in their golden ages. I now have a 1 year old yorkie boy named Aston he is fixed, and very friendly. I also have a son that is 11 years old and he wants more pets, so I figured this would be a win win if we opted to be caregivers to give our guy a play friend and share our love of animals. Although my son will play with the pets, I assure that this time will be supervised and I will be the primary responsible caregiver. I work from home, as a life coach and my son is home schooled via zoom with his teacher. We can easily accommodate caring for additional pets during the week. I have a large, open real grass lawn space that is fenced in for there safety. I also Have all hardwood floors, so it’s very way to clean up any accidents if any occur.
About: I’m a HUGE animal lover. I’ve had dogs since I was about 3 years old. I currently have 3 adorable fur babies; one is almost a year old, one will be 3 in August and the other (my oldest) turns 14 in May. I have had cats, rabbits, hamsters, birds, fish, chickens and even a turtle, so I am prepared to take care of almost any animal you have. You can trust me to watch and care for your pets, as I will treat them as my own. I cannot wait to meet you and your furr babies and hopefully have a continuous relationship for many years to come. For any questions or concerns you may have, please don’t hesitate to reach out! Thank you :) I have a very open schedule. I just recently graduated from San Francisco State University, so I’ve been doing Uber for the past couple of years I live on 1 acre full of grass right outside of Elk Grove in the Vineyard area near Wildhawk Golf Course so there is plenty of room for any animal to roam and play around; especially fetch and frisbee which my dogs LOVE. I directly send photos and videos to your phone via text message rather than the Rover app because I’ve found several times during stays that photos I thought I sent would show as “failed to send,” so I prefer to send messages via iMessage since it shows if the message was delivered almost instantly. That is why my profile shows only 70% of photos sent to owners even though I basically spam your phone with photos and videos of your pet throughout the day. If you prefer me to use the Rover app, please let me know and I will do just that. I also don’t mind if you want to FaceTime with your pet at any time.

“Rocky LOVED being with Florene and all the other pups for his first daycare experience. I seriously don’t think he wanted to leave her house! We look forward to a couple more days in her care, and eventually boarding Rocky with her when we travel. We feel very comfortable leaving our only fur-child with Florene. We’ve had conversations about her, and Rocky’s day with her, and my husband and I agree this is a good fit. Florene is definitely a wonderful animal lover - our kind of person!”
About: I had a dog for 15 years who I took for walks, well-trained, and cared for. Our home has a large backyard with a maintained lawn where your pet can play and enjoy some quiet time. We live near a park which is walking distance where your pet can meet and play with other dogs. We do not have cats. I am a retired schoolteacher, occasionally do volunteer work in the Sacramento community, enjoy traveling, and stay active. I can spend one on one time with your pet. Our home is single story with a large fenced backyard and a raised bed where we grow our own vegetables. A public park is walking distance from our home where your pet can play and meet other dogs. We don't have cats and our neighborhood is relatively quiet. We also have a radio flyer wagon which can be used for older dogs.
“Domynique was amazing with my puppy Ollie. She sent updates and would provide walks along with just great quality time. She was super accommodating to my commute that she volunteered to meet me half way. Ollie always came home ready for a nap after a great day with Domynique, will definitely be booking again and would recommend 🥰”
“June is the best! Bella spent the day with June and her dog Ceaser. Bella is a special needs dog and June knew just how to work with her to make her feel comfortable. June made sure to keep me posted and updated on Bella throughout her stay. She sent lots of pictures so I could see how she was doing. Her dog Ceaser was great with Bella too. Bella has become very attached to June. She also loves Ceaser, her new gentle giant friend. I strongly recommend June if you’re looking for a very responsible caring sitter for your pup. I know Bella is in good hands with June, and will be using her as our sitter in the future.”
“My dog had such a great time with Debra! I can tell my girl was very calm and happy when I picked her up. Debra even waited outside in the rain to make sure I could find her house when I dropped her off. It was good to know I had someone experienced to watch my dog.”
“Roxy's first daycare with Amanda went extremely well. Amanda was very aware of Roxy's quirks and managed her without any problems during her stay. We will definitely use Amanda's daycare again and highly recommend her to others!”
“Hong truly goes above and beyond - she sent thoughtful updates with photos, took my dog on regular walks, and made me feel at ease while we were away. The best part was knowing he was treated like family. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive dog sitter.”

“Wow !!!! If you are like me about your fur baby, you are very protective and have high expectations. Rashea definitely exceeded all of my needs and wants.

You will feel it and so will your fur baby. *She customizes your baby stay to meet their needs *Her home is inviting and EXTREMELY clean (super important to me) *She kept me up to date on what Taylor was doing and sent pics.

“First time Rover user, and we couldn't more impressed with Annie. Starting with the "meet and greet", Annie welcomed our big baby despite his huge size (100lbs). He has an injury that requireds a special touch, and Annie more than delivered. We received pictures and videos throughout the day, and I swear, he almost didn't want to come home! We will certainly let Annie care for our big baby on day and overnight visits in the future! 🥰”

I’m an at-home student majoring to become a veterinarian, which means I spend most of my time studying from home and can give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. I live with my mom, who works most of the day, so the home stays calm, quiet, and spacious - a great environment for animals to feel safe and comfortable. Our home is completely non-smoking and has a great, secure backyard with lots of space for playtime, fresh air, and bathroom breaks. Because I’m home so often, your pet would have plenty of company and wouldn’t be left alone for long periods. Lots of healthy treats! Great toys and nourishment:)
About: I have been caring for dogs since I was a child and truly love animals of all kinds. I have experience with both big and small dogs, including caring for my aging and sick pup through the end of her life. I’ve also rescued several pitbulls, which taught me patience, compassion, and how to build trust with dogs from all backgrounds. I treat every dog like family and always strive to provide safe, loving, and attentive care. I work part-time from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be available for pet care throughout the week and weekends. I’m able to care for your pup in your home and provide walks, playtime, companionship, and attentive care based on your dog’s individual needs and personality. My priority is always making animals feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I understand that every pet and owner has different routines, boundaries, and preferences, and I will always follow what works best for both you and your animal. Whether your pet needs extra patience, structure, affection, or calm care, I strive to create a safe and trusting environment for them at all times.
“Edwin is polite, flexible, dependable and accommodating. Oso enjoyed his walks with him and we hope we can book more walks in the future. We truly recommend Edwin to care for your dog. Oso loved Edwin from the minute he stepped in our home. Thank you Edwin!”
About: I've been around and help take care of dogs since I can remember. I am currently taking care of my own furry 4 legged friend I am currently unemployed at the moment so I have plenty of free time on my hands to take your furry friend to the park or on longer walks I have a fenced in back yard (with a pool) and a dog they can play with. I am able to crate them if need be as well
About: "Animal lover with a balanced life: three cats at home and a day job as a dog walker. I speak fluent 'meow' and know my way around a leash. Appreciate quiet evenings and active days outdoors. I’m your gal! I’m currently working on coding projects so my time is flexible for your babies! I’m not free on some Saturdays but I will also let you know before hand With three cats of my own, I'm skilled at catering to the unique needs and personalities of each pet, whether they're staying with me or I'm caring for them in your home.
About: It has been said to me that my first words as a child were ... barking! While I don't remember that, I do remember always having a connection with all furry companions. I grew up with dogs and cats and on occasion would visit my great grandparents' ranch, with horses, goats and more. I loved giving the animals snacks. More recently, I moved onto a small farm. I helped take care of over a dozen chickens and 2 turkeys; feeding, watering, cleaning the coop. Most of my formal career experience has been in education. In addition to many childcare and classroom support jobs, I also taught public school for 5 years. In either environment, my natural tendency has always been to provide heartfelt nurturing and care. I am not just a sitter on Rover but have used the service myself to board my cat before. I know what it's like to leave your baby in someone else's hands. Please communicate specifically to me so that we can rest assured all needs are met for your beloved pet. I will treat your furry family member like I would want mine to be treated - patiently, attentively, carefully and lovingly and only ask that you communicate any expectations or other information, directly and thoroughly. From there, I will attend to the non-verbal but very sincere communication given by your dogs, cats or other pets - in order to provide the best care possible. (Además soy bilingüe) I currently work part-time as an in-home Instructor for developmentally disabled adults. My availability will vary, because it depends on where I am driving to/from that day for my regular clients. Sometimes, sessions get cancelled on short notice. For this reason, I prefer to fill my schedule on a day-to-day basis, or at least weekly. I'm happy to answer any questions about specifics, so there is no confusion. Naturally, I'll provide the same consideration I'd expect from someone taking care of my home or pet. I'll be detail oriented, focused, careful and respectful. If you desire pet boarding, I suggest a meet and greet at my house first, as it is a tiny home. I have an enclosed yard and lots of acres to roam, but want to be sure it's a fit.
About: Family and friends always rely on me to care for their dogs (watch , feed, walk, etc). I’ve always loved dogs and willing to do anything for them!! I have a couple animals of my own that i love very much. I currently have lots of free time on my hands and i’d like to spend it by taking care of some animals and helping out! I can work with whatever you have at your house and will do as needed. As long as i’m shown what to do and how to do it everything will be perfect!
“Pedro was amazing with my dog Willow! She can be difficult to walk sometimes because she’s so stubborn, but she did great with him! She was tuckered out and so happy when she got back from her walk. Highly recommend!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: Since I was in elementary school, I have always had a family dog or cat. Animals are a man’s best friend and I see my animals as my babies. I treat all animals with love, and make sure give the best care possible. I am a recent St. Mary’s college graduate. During my search for full time work, I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies! When you need me I’ll be there! I currently have an indoor cat who is dog friendly! She loves to play and snuggle and will help your pets feel right at home. I also have a loving partner who is more than happy to look after my baby while I take care of yours.
About: I’m a HUGE animal lover. I’ve had dogs since I was about 3 years old. I currently have 3 adorable fur babies; one is almost a year old, one will be 3 in August and the other (my oldest) turns 14 in May. I have had cats, rabbits, hamsters, birds, fish, chickens and even a turtle, so I am prepared to take care of almost any animal you have. You can trust me to watch and care for your pets, as I will treat them as my own. I cannot wait to meet you and your furr babies and hopefully have a continuous relationship for many years to come. For any questions or concerns you may have, please don’t hesitate to reach out! Thank you :) I have a very open schedule. I just recently graduated from San Francisco State University, so I’ve been doing Uber for the past couple of years I live on 1 acre full of grass right outside of Elk Grove in the Vineyard area near Wildhawk Golf Course so there is plenty of room for any animal to roam and play around; especially fetch and frisbee which my dogs LOVE. I directly send photos and videos to your phone via text message rather than the Rover app because I’ve found several times during stays that photos I thought I sent would show as “failed to send,” so I prefer to send messages via iMessage since it shows if the message was delivered almost instantly. That is why my profile shows only 70% of photos sent to owners even though I basically spam your phone with photos and videos of your pet throughout the day. If you prefer me to use the Rover app, please let me know and I will do just that. I also don’t mind if you want to FaceTime with your pet at any time.
About: I have very flexible hours in days. I have taken care of family and friends dogs. I have a little training that I can provide and I have given medication’s. I am currently not working. I am very flexible with hours and days. I can take them to the dog parks or play in their backyard. I have a fenced in yard, I have Separate sides of the backyard. I have a very friendly husky/malamute that can play with your dog. She is also friendly with all cats since I have two in the household. I also have a separate place to keep them if necessary.
“Thank you so much for walking and playing with my Lil Buddy while I was gone. My roommate thanks you too. I am sure I'll be using your services again. I really loved the pictures you sent. Thanks again.”
About: I have taken care of neighbors pets for 5 years. One neighbor has two larger sized dogs that I have fed and brushed, as well as a few goats that I have also fed. Another neighbor of mine had a medium sized dog and a cat, which I would feed both. I’ve also volunteered at the Bradshaw Animal Shelter for 3 years. There I helped cleaned kitten habitats as well as feeding cats and kittens. I, myself, have had many pets growing up ranging from small dogs like spaniels and pugs to larger dogs such as pit bulls and labs. Im currently working part time, only about 4-5 days a week for about 5-6 hours per day in the mornings and/or afternoons. My evenings are typically open. I would love to spend them taking care of your lovely pets. I currently have a 3 year old Cavalier Spaniel named Mila. She does have a kennel however she does typically sleep with me or my brother, so Im no stranger to lap dogs or just dogs who like lots of attention in general. She does have access to the full yard(2 acres) but I do keep a close eye on her. I take her on car rides as they are her favorite, although not when they end at the vet. I’m pretty much the trainer in the household so all of her tricks she knows have been taught by myself!

“Farrah was amazing. She came in every day that we were on vacation and took the boys for a walk, they were so happy by the time we got home. So thankful we had someone to take care our boys and they got some wiggles out during the day.”

“I cannot say enough good things about Catherine and Ernie and the care they provided for my English Labrador, Luna. Luna stayed with them for six days and nights, and the difference in her behavior has been remarkable. It's now been three days since she came home, and I am still noticing positive changes in her temperament and obedience. They provided the perfect balance of structure, consistency, and what I would call "tough love," which is exactly what Luna needed. Before her stay, Luna could be difficult on walks, would pull on the leash, react aggressively toward other dogs, and even try to bite her collar when I put it on. Catherine and Ernie not only worked with Luna during her stay, but they also took the time to teach me techniques that I could continue using at home. The results were almost immediate. Luna no longer tries to bite her collar, walks much more calmly, and is significantly easier to handle on a leash. One of the biggest improvements came from introducing a prong collar and teaching me how to use it correctly. Walking Luna is now much more enjoyable, and she is far less reactive toward other dogs. Catherine also recommended training videos and resources to help me continue Luna's progress. There are countless dog-training videos on YouTube, but it was incredibly valuable to have someone show me techniques that were specifically effective for my dog. Another thing I truly appreciated was the communication. Catherine kept me updated throughout Luna's stay with regular texts, photos, and videos, which gave me peace of mind and allowed me to see Luna's progress firsthand. If you are looking for dog sitters who genuinely care about your dog's well-being and are willing to go above and beyond to help improve behavior and training, I highly recommend Catherine and Ernie. Luna came home happier, calmer, and more obedient, and I am extremely grateful for everything they did for her.”
“I was nervous about leaving my dog for a few days for a work trip, but I appreciate that Tammy was open to doing a pre-meeting to meet my dog and put me at ease. I also appreciate that Tammy kept me updated with pictures everyday while I was traveling. Would book again!”
“Anais was very aware and considerate of my dog’s needs and our preferences. She was communicative and shared pictures throughout the stay. I will definitely reach out to Anais again in the future.”
“Kenia was awesome with Brownie. She sent updates throughout the entire time and he seemed happy when picking him up although it was dark and he couldn't really see me. He was protective of Kenia which goes to show what kind of bond they developed in such a short time frame. I would recommend and use Kenia again.”

“Blaze was very kind and attentive to Mila. I got pictures/videos daily and she fielded all of my questions/concerns with the utmost professionalism. Her knowledge about all things animals was evident and I know that my pup is in good hands. I’ve already secured her care for another trip of mine!”
“Kirsten was wonderful with my dog. She kept me posted, and was flexible with a later pick-up. Her kids were great with my dog, and kept her entertained, which I appreciated a lot. ☺️”
“My mother in-law passed away and we needed someone to take care of our fur babies on short notice while we were out of the country for the funeral and Davinderjit came to the rescue. We had a meet and greet before the day we have to leave and Baloo immediately felt at home. While we were gone, we were updated of how Baloo was doing and sent us photos of the silly baby. Being away from the country we knew our fur baby was in good hands. We have a planned trip in September and we have already considered Davinderjit to take care of Baloo while we are gone. We highly recommend Davinderjit for boarding services and we’ll definitely will use her again when the need arises.”
“My dog was very comfortable with Rekha. My dog is usually very nervous and I could tell she enjoyed her stay. Rekha and her family are very nice people and I would recommend her dogsitting to anyone.”
“Debra was an amazing sitter for our dog. She was very welcoming. We had a meet and greet before the stay. Her home provided a great space for Scout to relax. For future trips we plan to use Debra again!”
“I was really nervous about leaving Lewis behind because he's still recovering from surgery (the wound is healed, but he's still fragile), but Jennifer did a great job of keeping his activity restricted while still making sure both of my dogs got lots of love. She also provided regular (2x/day) updates and daily pictures, so I never had to wonder how they were doing. I will absolutely be using her again when I need a sitter in this area.”
“Wally & Roxy had a great 1st time stay. Thank you for sending pictures throughout the day. Roxy being a puppy liked interacting with other dogs. Appreciated quick responses when I had questions.”
“Jasmine was so very attentive and communicative during my week-long vacation. She sends lots of videos and photos and genuinely really loves the dog she cares for. I would definitely hire her again!”
“Qiana was wonderful! She was great about keeping in touch with daily photos and even had a sweet care package to send home with both of our pups! Thank you again, Qiana!”
“Ani took SUCH amazing care of Maisy! She sent lots of pictures and updates. I honestly felt bad picking her up because she has so much fun with them! I will absolutely use Ani in the future!!”
“Ann and her husband are AMAZING! Left my extremely attached Doberman for the first time ever and we both were feeling very anxious but they made the whole process as stress- free as possible! My boy was so happy and well taken care of. I definitely recommend them and will continue to book with them!”
