“Angelica was great. I’m so glad I found a sitter I can trust. She is kind and sweet. She loves dogs .and I can tell my dog loves her too . I’m definitely bringing my dog back to Angelica the next time I go outta town.”
“Rika is the best of the best and takes SUCH good care of my pups, I feel very lucky to have found her! Detailed updates with great photos and loves them like they’re her own!”
“She was great with my senior dog, Nano. She truly cares and was very attentive. Nano needed daily medication, and she sent me pictures along with updates on how he was doing every day. I would definitely leave my dog with her again and highly recommend her services.”
“Ana and Mitchell were incredibly caring with Sophie. I needed a last-minute sitter for Sophie, who isn’t used to being home alone yet at 5 months, and they were amazing. What I love about them is that someone is always home and they only take one dog at a time. They were quick to schedule a meet-and-greet and were very welcoming. Sophie got to meet their dog, Ellie, and they got along instantly. Ana and Mitchell were flexible, accommodating, and asked thoughtful questions to make sure Sophie’s needs were met. We set up a short doggy date for a couple of hours, and it went perfectly- Sophie didn’t even notice we had left! Since leaving Sophie is new for us, we appreciated the frequent updates and their respect for her schedule. She came home happy and content, and it was clear she had a great time. Sophie will definitely be back soon. We even forgot a couple of things at their house and stopped by later, and Sophie was eager to go back inside to Ana and Mitchell’s home- showing just how comfortable she feels there.”
“Janice was amazing taking care of Poro! She has such calming energy and my velcro child took a liking to her and her family immediately. That alone put my heart at ease and would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Eric is very attentive and sent me pictures and videos of my cat each day. He took good care of her and made sure she took her pills each day. I would highly recommend leaving your pets in the care of Eric.”
“Lisa and family are so great with Mango and she always loves to board with them and whichever other dogs they’re sitting. It’s so fun for her to be part of the gang over there”
“I'm so thankful for the excellent care Diana provided to my dogs. She sends me daily updates, my dogs looked very happy around her, her husband and their dogs. I'm so happy that I choose Diana to care for my dogs. I heartly recommend Diana to anyone that needs to leave their dogs in the care of someone. In the future, I'll leave my dogs with Diana knowing that she'll provide the best care and they will be happy in her care.”
“Haijin is wonderful! My family and I feel lucky to have found a sitter we can trust to take care of our big fluffy puppy when we leave town. We also appreciate the socialization with other animals our puppy gets when she’s with Haijin.”
“Rique was incredible, our dogs loved him. He went above and beyond to make them feel happy and safe while we were gone. We will definitely use him again. A million thank you’d Rique.”
“This was our first time leaving Lucky with anyone. We met sherice and her kids before we left for our trip. They made us feel very comfortable . Lucky was very happy and so were we . I would definitely use them again. Since I can't give them more than five stars I'll add my own. 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟”
“Our dog had a wonderful time there. We even got updates all weekend long complete with pictures of him taking walks and playing. I would definitely recommend her to others and use her again!”
“Literally the best dog sitter I’ve ever had. Gave so many thoughtful updates, professional level photos, and gave my dog the best time overall. Would recommend to everyone considering Philip to book!”
“We just collected a very happy puppy from Jasmine. We chose her service over a kennel and it was the best decision - unlike before, when Eddy came home from a facility all shaken up, he evidently had the best time here staying with a collection of little dogs and is very happy and mellow. We really appreciated the cute photos of Eddy and his new pals on our travels and we are excited to send him to stay at Jasmine’s again !”
“Jing was wonderful with Melon. She took very good care of Melon and took her on several walks a day. Jing sent me updates throughout the day and I received lots of pictures. I highly recommend!!!”
“We cannot properly express our gratitude to Lawrence for watching our pup while we were out of town. He did an amazing job - followed the care instructions, took our pup for walks and trips to the dog park, gave him lots of love and attention, and communicated with us daily. We were happy to see the photos and videos showing how much fun our pup was having - it gave us peace of mind knowing how well cared for he was. Thank you, thank you, thank you Lawrence and Lynn! We appreciate you so much!!”
“Loretta was great! They took such amazing care of my dog while I was away—it gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was in such loving and responsible hands. My pup can be a little shy/anxious at first, but she warmed up so quickly thanks to their gentle and caring nature. I received regular updates, and photos which made me feel connected the whole time. When I picked her up, she was happy, and clearly well cared for. Truly grateful to have found someone so trustworthy. Thank you, Loretta!”
“Yuhong is the best. She really came to our rescue last minute while we dealt with logistics related to the local wildfire. She took great care of our dog, and he was clearly happy in the daily update pics. On top of being available and reliable, Yuhong was also incredibly sensitive and caring towards our family's situation. I highly recommend her as both an awesome Rover and awesome human.”

“Robin is the best. She’s very responsive and thorough with her check ins. Our cats feel very comfortable with her which makes it easy for us to leave on trips. I highly recommend working with her”
“Shurovi is amazing. Our cats have specific and detailed feeding instructions. She follows the instructions exactly and makes sure to spend time with them after their done eating. Our cats love her too. Two of them even let her pick them up. One of them doesn't even like US to pick him up, but he'll let Shurovi. Highly, highly recommend!”
“I trust Mark so much with my animals. He is attentive, professional and engaged. He sends me the best videos and pictures. My animals are happy and calm. I can travel easily knowing Mark is taking care of my furry loved ones. He’s a gem!”
“Alyssa is very attentive and sensible to your pet. She will go above and beyond to make sure every detail is met. Love that she is able to pivot according to the weather or any emergency that may arise. Will definitely have her take care of Goldo again in a heartbeat.”

“Cristina did an amazing job taking care of my kitty for 2 weeks while we were traveling! She followed all instructions meticulously and communication was top notch. I highly recommend her!”
“Hannah was our savior when it came to needing a last minute drop in and she couldn’t have been more perfect. She was super communicative and sent tons of pictures from her time with Arthur. We will definitely be reaching out again in the future!”
“Kevin did a great job with taking care of my skittish cat! She was able to hide and do her own thing but Kevin made sure she was fed (with medication) and her litter box was taken care of.

To add on they have plenty of bones and toys to play with.
“Laura provided great care for our kitty. She was responsible and loving and spent time playing with him which he really enjoyed. We’ll definitely ask her to help out again!”
“It’s been a little while since we’ve had Narin check in on our cat, Susie. Nothings changed! Narin is still the same reliable, punctual and detail oriented sitter she was when we first left a review. Cannot recommend her enough. We love knowing we don’t have to remind her that we’re leaving. She always has us scheduled and always comes in time! Our cat is happy every time we step back into the house.”
About: I've been around cats my entire life and understand that each one has its own personality, preferences, and routine. I know how important it is to earn a cat's trust and create a calm, comfortable environment where they feel safe. I'm attentive to their needs, whether that means playtime, companionship, maintaining their feeding schedule, or simply giving them the space they prefer. I've cared for cats of different ages and temperaments, from playful kittens to independent adults and senior cats. I pay close attention to their behavior and well-being, making sure they're happy, comfortable, and receiving the care they deserve. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your cat, while treating them with the same love and care I would give my own

“Chuckie absolutely loves spending the day with Lawrence! As soon as we arrive he gets excited and can't wait to get out of the car. Lawrence is kind and patient with him, takes him on several walks, and spends time cuddling with him. I know my baby boy is well taken care of every time and I am so very thankful!”
“Cathy and Andres watched my pup Lilu for daycare and it was excellent. They were so responsive and thoughtful in working with me to make sure Lilu had a great and safe time! Cathy also provided me with updates throughout the day and sent pictures, which I very much appreciated especially on the first day with a new sitter. Lilu obviously enjoyed herself and was comfortable enough to be calm and nap at their house, which was a great sign since she's such a high-energy dog. Highly recommend Cathy and Andres, and will definitely have Lilu stay with them again!”
About: Since I was a kid, I've always loved taking care of pets. Growing up, I had several pets and enjoyed taking care of them. As a pet mother myself, I understand the concerns one may have when leaving your pet behind while traveling. If you choose me as your dog sitter, I can guarantee your fur baby a good experience. We treat your pet as if they are a member of the family. Whether it is dog-walking, boarding, or other activities, your dog will have a great and comfortable stay! I currently work from home, so I can take care of your dog's needs. I am able to walk dogs in the mornings before I start work, and in the evenings. The dogs have free access to the backyard during the day. I have a fenced backyard for the dogs to run around and play, and a friendly goldendoodle to keep your dog company. The dogs will be allowed to freely roam around the house.
“Gigi and Steven have been the best! Our two dogs have loved staying for a week+ or just a day of playtime. Super sweet and great communication. Would highly recommend! 🐾”
“Junyao (and her mama 💕) were awesome with my reactive rescue. She was super accommodating to his needs (and there are many), sent me updates throughout the day, and when we had a miscommunication about the pick-up time, was gracious and flexible.”
“This is our fourth visit. Jake seems to have a better time every time he is with you. Jing also gave him a nice present for his 12th birthday, which was incredibly sweet. Thank you for loving Jake.”
“Words cannot express my gratitude. Lucas isn't a pet or a companion dog. He is really an extension of me and Albane took great care of him. She even cleaned his eyes and his fur. One way to get to my heart is by caring for Lucas like I would myself and she did just that. Thank you so much!!!”
“Great communication, a lot of photos and attentive to our questions/needs. I love that they are very quick with responses making me feel at ease. Thank you Yang and we’ll see you for our next booking!”
“I’m so happy we found Christina. She was super responsive during the booking. We came out to LA for a wedding and she watched our fur baby. She showed up on time to pick Meishka up from the airport with her 3 fur babies who are ADORABLE and so sweet. And she dropped Meishka off on time too. I would 100% recommend her to anyone!”
“Catherine and Albert took such great care of Cooper! They made him feel right at home from the minute he got there and treated him like family! They did so much to make him feel comfortable and get his energy out (he’s a high energy cocker spaniel). It’s so hard to find people that you know will care about your dog as much as you do but it’s so obvious that they genuinely love dogs. As somebody who is very nervous leaving their dog, I feel so confident that Cooper is comfortable and safe with them.”
“This is my 3rd time using Rique’s services. He responds to messages and requests quickly, and sends updates without being prompted to do so. My pup loves him, his house, and backyard. He always comes home happy with his needs met so that I can relax after a long day. Very grateful for Rique’s help.”
“Tremendous care and play for my supercharged rott. year old- she was even worn out the next day, which I've never seen. Great communication throughout- highly recommended.”
“Yueli, took in Bella at a last minute request while I went to the RoseBowl game. Yueli, met us out front and took Bella inside. Yueli sent videos and pictures all day. Bella came out happy and tired from all the playing. Thank you Yueli!! I highly recommend Yueli over and over.”
“First time using Rover with our boy we just rescued 3 weeks ago. Great experience. Bei Bei gave good updates throughout the day and helped our pup feel loved and secure in a new environment. Thank you Bei Bei!”
“My dog has had an amazing time at Eric’s. Eric has taken a very good care of my dog. They took Ace for walk, and their dogs were super cute and friendly with my dog too. Eric sent me nice pics of my dog having fun and cozy time at theirs. It was extremely loving to also see their puppies playing and having fun with my dog at theirs place.”
“Dropped off my shy fearful rescue pup for daycare and when I came back to pickup he was flying around the living room chairs. Within a few minutes in Alysha’s presence you can tell your dog will be in completely capable hands. Love the vibe of her home, I feel totally confident in leaving my dog here. Already booked his next stay!”
About: I rescued my dog Gabbi 10 years ago, as she was surrendered from an overcrowded home. She is a 14 lb mixed breed who is the boss in this house. Since having her, I’ve dog sat for multiple friends, overnight, including a Samoyed, Pitbull, German Shepherd, and Rottweiler mix. My dog is around 13 years old and doesn’t enjoy playing with other dogs, but she’ll happily go on a long walk together! She also likes her personal space and can make it known, but she’s never had any major issues with other dogs. She resource guards, so I keep feeding time separate. I work from home full time M-F, between 9am-5pm. I have a generally flexible schedule, taking meetings throughout the day. I like to take the dogs out throughout my work day as a way to keep me awake! I live in a townhome style condo with a small fenced patio. I live in a very walkable neighborhood, making it easy to take the dogs out. I will happily adopt your dog’s usual schedule to keep them as regulated as possible.
“Michael to the rescue!! Even with short notice, he was able to come through in sitting my girl for the day. Kind, respectful & communicated well through the whole exchange. Would book again!”

“Michelle was great with my dog, I could really tell that she is a dog person and is knowledgeable about the care and maintenance of dogs. She is conscientious, caring and dependable.”
About: I love dogs… of all kinds! That’s an understatement. My boy is Sailor, the Siberian Husky you see in my profile. The other two dogs—Bokee & Penny—are my friend’s dogs that I dog-sit for whenever I’m needed. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, and I’m comfortable with any breed. Your furry friend will love hanging out with Auntie Tamara. I work for myself so I’ll have plenty of time for your fur babies. From feeding to walking to bathing to chilling, your pup and I will be the best of friends. In terms of my house, I have a yard with high walls so Sailor doesn’t even try to go anywhere unless it’s with me. When taking care of my friend’s dogs, they entrust me with their house key so I can come over and watch over the pups (even when they’re older, they’re always puppies in my eyes). When you ask me to dog-sit for you in your home, you can trust me to treat your space with the utmost respect. Same goes for the fur babies. They’re always in good hands with Auntie Tamara.
About: Have had cats and dogs my entire life and have ample experience walking, training and overall taking care of pets keeping them active and healthy. I have afternoon and mid-day available for walking can also fit in some early morning routes. Mainly do this part time and love animals more specifically dogs so it’s a dream to decompress and be around my furry friends. I more specifically focus on dog walking and making sure the dogs walking and getting some exercise and get a change of scenery. This way both the dog and I can have a bit of exercise and bonding experience.
About: As a former owner of a golden retriever that I've trained myself, I have firsthand experience with the needs and joys of dog ownership. I frequently train my sister’s Carolina dog, which has deepened my understanding of diverse dog behaviors and training techniques. As a runner, I genuinely enjoy walking and running with a variety of dogs, ensuring they get the exercise and engagement they need. This passion for canine care has inspired me to offer my services as a dog-sitter and walker. I am committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for your furry friends, making sure they receive the attention and activity they deserve while you’re away. I also do headbutts with cats. I currently work at a co-working space, running a company and I've started a YouTube channel. I work on my own schedule, so I have time to play with and walk/run dogs! I also have had experience taking care of cats. I prioritize maintaining the dog's routine and comfort in their familiar surroundings. Before each visit, I carefully review their instructions regarding feeding schedules, medication administration (if needed), exercise needs, and any specific behavioral considerations. During my visits, I will focus on providing engaging playtime, ensuring sufficient exercise (walks, playtime in the yard, etc.), and plenty of attention and affection. I'll maintain cleanliness by promptly cleaning up any accidents and ensuring the space remains tidy. My goal is to provide consistent, reliable care that allows the dog to feel safe and happy while you are away
About: I've taken care of animals in my community for over 7 years. I have ample experience taking care of dogs, cat, and rabbits of all ages and backgrounds. Rest assured I will be a gentle and responsible sitter to your furry friends! I have an 8 year old lop rabbit myself, and welcome the extra company in my day to day. NOTE: Please have up to date records of core vaccinations (namely rabies) available. Outdoor or Indoor/Outdoor hybrid cats and dogs will ideally be on flea/parasite preventatives regardless of services provided. If that is not the case just let me know so I can be aware! If cats are indoor ONLY this can be an exception. Rabbits will ideally be vaccinated against RHDV2 but if they are not, please inform me. Please also include existing or past diseases (coccidia, e. cuniculi, etc...) or any abnormal symptoms (large poops, jelly like substance in their poops, head tilt, etc....) I have a rabbit at home and they are much more vulnerable to diseases, so I have to prioritize her health! Thanks for understanding. I am currently in-between jobs and have ample time to accommodate to your pet's needs. I am flexible, so just let me know what you need! I am committed to transparency and will take any precautions that you deem necessary to keep your pet and your home safe. I do not board animals in my home as I have a rabbit and am unwilling to expose her to other animals due to the risks, but am more than happy to travel!
About: We are a husband-and-wife team who have lived with and loved dogs for over 20 years. This is not a high-volume job for us; we do this for the joy of being around animals and to stay active. Because we have a 14-year-old Standard Poodle of our own, we are very patient and observant with every pet we meet. We only take on a few dogs at a time so we can provide focused, high-quality care. My husband loves his morning walks and looks forward to keeping your dog company and getting them some fresh air. Since we already provide specialized care for our senior dog at home, we prefer to walk dogs that are generally healthy and mobile. While we are non-native English speakers, my wife is very comfortable using translation apps and earbuds to communicate clearly in person. Our daughter also helps us manage the app and scheduling to make sure everything goes smoothly. We are very dependable and will treat your pet like a member of our family. We are retired, so our schedule is very flexible and revolves around staying active and caring for our own dog. Paul enjoys a consistent morning walk and would love to have your pet join him for some fresh air and exercise to start the day. Because we only take on a few clients at a time, we can easily work around your specific timing needs for drop-offs, visits, or walks. Since we are home most of the time, your pet will rarely be left alone and will receive plenty of companionship throughout the day. Safety is our top priority. We live in a quiet residential area in West Hills with a secure, fenced yard where dogs can safely stretch their legs. We are very experienced with home maintenance and safety, recently completing a full home renovation, so we are mindful of keeping a clean and hazard-free environment. Whether in our home or yours, we are patient and observant caretakers. We understand the importance of following your specific instructions for feeding and routine to keep your dog feeling comfortable and secure.
About: I been taking care of dogs since I remember… I would love your dog as if it was my own… I am very patient with puppies & willing to train them while they spend some time at my casita. I currently have the most perfect work schedule with a lot of availability that I would love to take care of your furry babies on my days off. I have a fenced backyard! A lot of room to run around… I have to two dogs of my own that would love to have more friends!
About: Thanks for stopping by! Choosing the right sitter is a big decision, and I truly appreciate you considering me. Being a Rover sitter has been one of my most rewarding experiences. I genuinely love getting to know each pup’s unique personality and treating them like my very own. I can’t wait to meet your pups! What I'll provide: 📸 Lots of updates - I will provide lots of photos/videos during their stay so you have complete peace of mind while you're away. I often take videos of walks and when they're being cute or silly. 🌟 1-1 attention - I typically only host pups from one family at a time. There are no kids or other pets in my home so that means your pups get all the belly rubs, all the walks, and all the couch space in a calm environment. ⏱️ Consistency - I have a flexible work from home schedule so I can follow your care routine and instructions to the letter, including administering oral medication. 🌳 Fun adventures - This is what makes the stay special! Each pup likes to have fun in their own way. 🔹 For social pups, we're lucky enough to live across the street from the dog park so we can go multiple times day and meet new friends. 🔸 For the athletes we'll play fetch at the field. 🔹 For nature lovers we can go on a waterfall hike. 🔸 Whether it’s a stroll to see the neighborhood peacocks, a trip to the local cafe, or just a quiet day of indoor play, I tailor the adventures to what your dog loves most. 🏡 Clean and safe home - We keep a clean home and your pups can explore the whole space. They can also go on the couch or bed if they're allowed. Note: I always prioritize your pups' comfort. If I ever consider taking on another guest during your stay, I will always ask for your explicit consent first! I work from home 4 days a week (sometimes everyday), so weekdays are easy for me. I don’t have many meetings and I have a lot of flexibility in when I do my work. I keep a clean and clutter free home. I live in a single story triplex. The place isn’t too big so I can have eyes on your pets most times. My neighbors don’t have any pets. There’s a dog park across the street if your pet is good with other dogs, otherwise it’s a nice place for a walk!
About: I have had a dog, cat, fish, bird or rabbit all my life. I housesit for many family and friends. Animals make me happy and smile. I am presently working a flexible schedule so I can schedule walks, or take care of your animals at your home where they are comfortable. I have two cats so I cannot board. I can get references if needed. What better place then to keep your precious animals in your home.
“Haijin and Victor are AMAZING to work with. I’m always at ease when they walk and care for Tofu. For being an anxious pup, he’s been so comfortable with them from the start. I love that they are always on top of communication and you can tell they have a lot of experience working with dogs. I’m very grateful for them!”
“Eric is fantastic with my dog, Dexter! He comes by a few times per week mid-day to walk and play with Dexter while I'm at work, and sends me photos and videos of Dexter enjoying his visit. At my request, Eric gives Dexter his daily favorite green treat and wipes his paws after his walks. Communication is quick and easy, and Eric is very trustworthy entering my home and leaving it all locked up once each visit is complete. I'd definitely recommend Eric for any service he provides on Rover. Thanks Eric!! -Ryan”
About: I’ve had my first pet since I was 8 and I’ve loved animals ever since I could remember. I had my first dog walking job in my early 20s when I was in college and my first dog bestfriend was a Shiba Inu. I literally loved him like he was my own. I took him everywhere and anywhere that I went. I helped raised and trained him since he was 6 months old up until he was 7. Unfortunately, our journey had to come into an end when I had to move states for my first career out of college. Now that I’m back home in Cali, I’ve been yearning for another dog best friend or few. Sadly, where I currently live doesn’t allow for dogs on the premises so I’d be happy to go wherever to take care of your furry loved one! My experience includes basic obedience skills such as training and leash manners. **I am also extremely protective of your animals so I won’t take them where I know they could potentially be in danger or in harm.** *I am very communicative and will send pics when you’re away! I am available on the weekends, evenings, and holidays! I am sometimes free during mid afternoons. I am also available to board if when it is requested. I like to make sure that I am in constant communication with every pet’s owners. My preference is that I am provided with a list of do’s and don’ts. Otherwise I like to maintain a clean environment and make sure all animals are fed based on the schedule and amount that the owner provides. I like to be in constant observance of all animal’s habits in case for any changes of health or behaviors and I make sure to maintain a healthy amount of affection based on each animal’s needs.
About: As an experienced dog owner, I love working with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. While I specialize in large breeds and high-energy working dogs who need confident handling and structured exercise, I am equally attentive, gentle, and patient with medium and small dogs. No matter the size, your pup is in safe, capable hands. As a flexible local professional, pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. Because I manage my own schedule, I am out and about in the LA area every day, making it easy to accommodate prompt drop-ins and structured walks when you need them most. My routine is highly active, which is perfect for high-energy working breeds that need consistent, timely mid-day exercise to break up their day. At the same time, my flexibility allows me to easily tailor my schedule for smaller or senior dogs who need dedicated, calm potty breaks and attention. Whether you need a regular weekly schedule or occasional check-ins, I build my days around ensuring your pets get consistent, reliable, and on-time care. When caring for your pets, my absolute priority is safety, structural consistency, and clear communication. For Dog Walking & Drop-In Visits: I tailor every visit to your dog's specific size, energy level, and temperament. For large or high-energy breeds, I focus on confident leash handling, maintaining their established training commands, and giving them a robust, engaging workout to burn off steam safely. For medium and smaller dogs, I adjust the pace to ensure a comfortable, stress-free stroll or focused playtime. For House Sitting (In Your Home): I respect your space entirely and keep your dog’s exact home routine intact to prevent any separation anxiety. I ensure they are fed on time, kept on their regular potty schedule, and given plenty of attention. You will receive regular check-ins and high-quality photo updates during every single service so you always have total peace of mind.
About: I'm great with dogs, and a belly rubber expert. My wife says I stole her dog... because our dog prefers me now. Taking dogs for a walk and see new neighborhoods is a bright part of my day. I'm available for walking services in the afternoon. Drop-in visits in afternoon and night during the week. I have a flexible schedule during the weekend. My walks will always have treats (if you allow). Your dog will be on leash all times for the walk, I will be careful around other dogs. I'm ready for the slow and the runners. And most important I will listen to you on any tips on how to take your dog to the best walk or have a good play time during a drop-in visit.
About: I've had my own dogs and cats for most of my life ranging from easy going to skittish and temperamental. I've been a go to pet carer for family, friends, and for hire since I was a teenager. I have experience with pets with complex dietary needs, medication regiments, very shy animals who don't deal well with being apart from their families, and high energy critters who need lots of stimulation. I treat them all with the patience and kindness they deserve while they are apart from their owners. I'm not living with a pet for the first time in a long time and miss I am working part time, which leaves me very flexible to care for your pets on your schedule as needed for drop in care or longer stays with your pet in their own home including nights, weekends, and overnights. I have a spacious hatchback that I can use to transport your pets. I cannot care for pets in my own home due to a highly allergic roommate, but I can fetch pets and take them wherever they need to be.

“Eric is very attentive and sent me pictures and videos of my cat each day. He took good care of her and made sure she took her pills each day. I would highly recommend leaving your pets in the care of Eric.”
“Lisa and family are so great with Mango and she always loves to board with them and whichever other dogs they’re sitting. It’s so fun for her to be part of the gang over there”
“I'm so thankful for the excellent care Diana provided to my dogs. She sends me daily updates, my dogs looked very happy around her, her husband and their dogs. I'm so happy that I choose Diana to care for my dogs. I heartly recommend Diana to anyone that needs to leave their dogs in the care of someone. In the future, I'll leave my dogs with Diana knowing that she'll provide the best care and they will be happy in her care.”
“Rique was incredible, our dogs loved him. He went above and beyond to make them feel happy and safe while we were gone. We will definitely use him again. A million thank you’d Rique.”
“Loretta was great! They took such amazing care of my dog while I was away—it gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was in such loving and responsible hands. My pup can be a little shy/anxious at first, but she warmed up so quickly thanks to their gentle and caring nature. I received regular updates, and photos which made me feel connected the whole time. When I picked her up, she was happy, and clearly well cared for. Truly grateful to have found someone so trustworthy. Thank you, Loretta!”
“Yuhong is the best. She really came to our rescue last minute while we dealt with logistics related to the local wildfire. She took great care of our dog, and he was clearly happy in the daily update pics. On top of being available and reliable, Yuhong was also incredibly sensitive and caring towards our family's situation. I highly recommend her as both an awesome Rover and awesome human.”
About: I rescued my dog Gabbi 10 years ago, as she was surrendered from an overcrowded home. She is a 14 lb mixed breed who is the boss in this house. Since having her, I’ve dog sat for multiple friends, overnight, including a Samoyed, Pitbull, German Shepherd, and Rottweiler mix. My dog is around 13 years old and doesn’t enjoy playing with other dogs, but she’ll happily go on a long walk together! She also likes her personal space and can make it known, but she’s never had any major issues with other dogs. She resource guards, so I keep feeding time separate. I work from home full time M-F, between 9am-5pm. I have a generally flexible schedule, taking meetings throughout the day. I like to take the dogs out throughout my work day as a way to keep me awake! I live in a townhome style condo with a small fenced patio. I live in a very walkable neighborhood, making it easy to take the dogs out. I will happily adopt your dog’s usual schedule to keep them as regulated as possible.
“Thank you Sheila for taking good care of Mr.Fluffy and Tinkerbell. I am glad that I met you. I will recommend you to my family and friends whenever they need a dog sitter. And I will definitely bring you again Mr. Fluffy and Tinkerbell whenever we need your service. Thank you so much.”
“Steven was an absolutely wonderful pet sitter. My wife and I always have family house/pet sit when we go out of town, so leaving them with a sitter had us a bit anxious. During the meet and greet, Steven immediately put us at ease with his kindhearted and soft nature which made us confident in his ability to provide excellent care. While we were gone, steven provided updates with pictures every day, and we could see that they were happy, relaxed, and enjoying thier time with him. Steven was also very accommodating as far as drop offs and pick ups. We absolutely plan on entrusting steven with our pups again in the future. Thank you, Steven!”
“Albert, Cat, and Trey were so lovely to work with! They were very responsive and provided me with plenty of updates and photos. Trey and Lola seemed to be fast friends and were "patrolling" the (gated) back yard together when I arrived to pick her up. They treated Lola like family and ensured that Lola got her AM/PM medications. They even sent her home with an adorable little report card that I hung up on the fridge because it sparks joy. It's always scary when having to leave your pet somewhere and I'm immensely grateful for them for treating Lola so well and giving her love in my absence. Many thanks from the bottom of my heart <3”
“Phuong is absolutely amazing with watching Nyra. She has her own husky and knows how to give instruction and patience to my husky. She has a large yard and property that was heaven for Nyra to play and run around in. She was able to give Nyra her antibiotics without issues. She made sure my dog was well fed and hydrated! Nyra came back perfectly fine and had a fantastic weekend. I would definitely recommend boarding your dog with Phuong!”
“Stephanie took absolutely excellent care of my dog. I received daily updates and photos and was assured that he would receive his medication as required while I was away for the holidays. I will definitely be using her again!”
“Diego and Nikolina were absolutely amazing with Nyla! They are super responsive and provide constant pictures/ videos. This was our first time leaving Nyla alone with anyone and I was so relieved that we left her with Diego and Nikolina. Nyla came back super happy and very well exercised. They took Nyla for runs, hikes and dog park time every single day. We are so happy to have found Diego and Nikolina and definitely will be rebooking them for our future trips.”
“Alysha went above and beyond to make our pups feel like part of her family during their week long stay. She kept us informed in how it went the whole way, and was sincere and loving towards our dogs. I would recommend her absolutely to watch your animals, and am grateful she took such great care of ours! Thanks again!”
“Felicia is our absolute favorite dog sitter! She takes the best care of Frank and he is always happy when we drop him off. We especially appreciate all of the photos and how she treats our pup like her own. Highly recommend.”
“Dodonna took good care of our dog and sent many pictures. He was able to stay indoors when it was too hot out and go outside when he wanted. There were several other dogs there so he had a lot of playmates. He had a good weekend.”
