“She was absolutely wonderful with my one-year-old puppy! My pup had a fantastic time, got plenty of playtime, and all her needs were taken care of so I could focus on work with complete peace of mind. She was incredibly empathetic and attentive, especially understanding the needs of a younger pup as well as my older dog. She handled multiple pets with confidence, warmth, and such natural care—almost like a mother. I truly appreciated the updates and loving environment she provided. I would absolutely book with her again anytime I’m in Pasadena. Highly recommend!”
“Excellent boarding of my little dog Dino. He had fun playing with her dog and kids. HE was well taken care of by Janice and her family. I will definitely board with her in the future.”
“Rika was a fantastic pet sitter! My dog had a blast at her house. She sent me detailed updates on how my dog was doing, along with amazing pictures (they were honestly better than the ones I’ve taken myself). She truly took great care of my dog. I will 100% rebook her the next time I need a pet sitter. I can’t emphasize enough how much I appreciate her for this boarding. Thank you, Rika!”
“Cathy and Andres were fantastic boarding our 3 1/5 year old cocker spaniel, Hazel. They've got a great set up and routine at their home and they were very good with our young dog. They asked lots of questions to help ease Hazel into a new setting. We were sent lots of pics and updates. They really seem to enjoy caring for dogs. They're a great team and we highly recommend.”
“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.”
“High-quality care! Jing was absolutely wonderful with our two dogs! From the moment they arrived, they looked so happy and comfortable in her care. We loved receiving her updates and pictures, which really gave us peace of mind while we were away. An amazing bonus is that she lives right next to a park, which was a huge plus for the dogs to get plenty of outdoor time and exercise. They truly loved being there. We will definitely be booking with Jing again!”
“Thank you for taking care of Code once again! We are so thankful for Sherice, Kelly and family for looking after Code on short notice. He was so happy and truly enjoyed the company and warmth of their home. We look forward to having him visit again soon.”
“We decided let our two little dogs (aka trouble makers) stay with Junyao when we were away. It couldn’t have been a better decision. She did so much more than look after them; she cared for them, helped them overcome their anxiety, allowed them to do the things they did at home and eat when they felt it was a good place they were staying. They could wander around the house and zoom around on the grass in the back garden (which was totally secure). My initial comment was ‘we couldn’t have made a better choice’ and nothing has changed.”
“We had a great experience with Eric. He is kind & easy going, kept me updated with photos& videos, attentive to my senior dog ‘s needs & followed care instructions, including giving medications AM& PM. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a sitter in the area.”
“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.”
“We really appreciated Lisa (and her family’s) care for our dog Kunga! She was flexible with pick-up and drop-off times and sent updates. Kunga loved her time there. Would totally leave Kunga with Lisa again.”
“Yuhong took care of my kitty while I was on a long vacation. We met prior to ensure Meru could meet Yuhong and it was clear Meru was going to be in great hands. Usually my neighbors will feed my cats while I’m on trips, but one of my cats crossed the rainbow bridge recently, and it gave me such peace of mind that Meru was not alone and had ample sweet and caring company with Yuhong and her husband. Meru had never been away from our home so she (and I) was nervous at first, but warmed up to Yuhong quickly. Yuhong played with Meru twice a day to keep her spirits up. I’m grateful this worked out and to have found a wonderful sitter moving forward!”
“Rique was an amazing sitter for our dog Code! Excellent communication and a great home for our pup to run around. We would not hesitate to have Code stay with Rique again in the future.”
“Lifesaver. Not only was our flight delayed for 2 days and Loretta was awesome and so understanding and flexible about it…but she had to evacuate with our dogs due to the recent fires/winds. She took care of our dogs like they were her own and updated us regularly. I can’t express how grateful I am. It was such a difficult situation and we didn’t have to worry at all about our dogs. She is our go-to for sure! No doubt about it! Thank you Loretta!!!”
“Jasmine was so accommodating during my dog’s stay! She was very flexible with drop off and pick up times. Fox clearly had a great time, and Jasmine was super good about sending me photos and updates. I will definitely be leaving my dog with her again!”
“Great experience, for the dog and us! Drop off and pick up were seamless. Haijin and Victor sent pics and updates which we appreciated. Dude (our dog) seemed to have a great time. We will definitely rebook when we travel without our pup again.”
“Lawrence is the best dog sitter we’ve ever had! He kept us updated the whole time with photos and videos, and even took our pups on different walking adventures every day. You can really tell he loves dogs and treats them like his own. We felt so at ease knowing our babies were in such good hands. We’re so happy we found him and would absolutely book with him again!”
“The outstanding care of my two small dogs by Albane always gives me the confidence to make the important business and personal trips I need to make in my life. I could not be happier with her care of my pups!”

“I just moved to Pasadena and needed a cat sitter last minute for my darling little cat. Robin was quick to respond and come for a meet and greet. She was so thorough, communicative and clearly a true animal lover. She sent lots of pics and details about her visits. I will absolutely be calling her again for more Auggie care! Thank you Robin!”

“This is my 4th time booking Laura, she is amazing with the animals of course but also someone you can really trust in your home while you’re away. The best in the business!”
“Neysa was such a great sitter for our cats, she was incredibly responsive and responsible with everything we agreed on, I felt at ease being away knowing that they were being taken care of by a caring and responsible sitter. She was very reliable and went above & beyond on everything we requested for the week we were away, thank you so much!!”
“My first time using Rover and will definitely use it again. My kitty sitter, Rose, was amazing. The updates and pictures she provided me throughout her visits really made me feel at ease. I never worried about my kitties while we were away. She went beyond what I expected. Thank you Rose.”
“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.”
“Shurovi was kind enough to accept a very last minute booking from me during a chaotic time, and knowing she was taking care of my cat made everything feel so much calmer! Thank you Shurovi!!”

“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!”
About: I've been caring for cats of all shapes, sizes, and personalities since I was just 10 years old. Growing up with a passion for feline companionship, I've honed my skills over the years, learning the ins and outs of cat care through hands-on experience and dedication. From the feisty tabby who needed extra playtime to the shy Siamese who preferred quiet cuddles, I've encountered cats with a wide range of temperaments and needs. This extensive experience has equipped me with the ability to adapt to each cat's unique personality and provide them with the tailored care and attention they deserve. Whether it's administering medications, grooming, or simply providing companionship while you're away, I approach every cat sitting opportunity with enthusiasm and a deep understanding of what it takes to keep our feline friends happy and healthy. You can trust me to treat your beloved cat as if they were my own, ensuring they feel loved, comfortable, and well-cared-for in your absence.

“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. I appreciate that he even sent a picture of my cat while I was gone. She seemed perfectly fine after I came back.”
“Michelle took excellent care of our two cats while we were away. She was very caring with them and communicative with us. Even our scaredy cat eventually warmed up to her! We would definitely book Michelle again.”

About: Dogs have always been a part of my family since the day I was born. I’ve loved having pets growing up as a kid; I’ve owned and cared for a variety of animals ranging from birds and puffer fishes, to geckos and hamsters.

“Lawrence was such a great sitter for my dog, Toby! He provided endless photos, texted back immediately each time I had reached out and also was very kind to respond to my urgent booking as I wasn’t able to plan it out with more time! He was great with my dog, and I plan to book with him again!”
“Jing was truly amazing with my dogs! From the very first meeting, they were instantly calm around her, which never happens with new people. She has such a gentle, grounding presence, and you can tell she genuinely understands animals. Before the actual sitting, she even took them for a walk at the park to help them get comfortable with her, which I appreciated so much. Throughout the day, Jing kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me total peace of mind. She was incredibly communicative, reliable, and attentive to every detail. My dogs absolutely adored her, and I could see how well cared for and relaxed they were when I got home. I would definitely use her services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and thoughtful sitter!”
“I left my dog Arya with Angelica for day care for two days in a row and it was awesome. Arya had other small dogs to play with and a back yard to run around in and Angelica and her daughter were so nice to her and caring.”
“Very accommodating! I could tell my pup felt so happy, comfy and spoiled at their house! They were also able to keep Dante separate from their own pup. Went above and beyond in small ways. Great photos and took him out for potty again right before it was time for pickup.”

“I’m thrilled I found Gigi. Besides being a delightful, sweet person, she is very conscientious and trustworthy. My 4 month old puppy just LOVES Gigi and gets super excited to see her. My Golden Retriever pup is teething and can be a real handful. Gigi is so patient and a true dog lover. I know my fur baby is safe, happy, and getting lots of affection with Gigi. You can see it in her face in all the pictures I get!”
“Junyao was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Chief! 🐾 From the moment they met, Chief felt an instant connection—he clearly adored her.

You can truly tell she cares deeply for the dogs she watches. We felt completely at ease knowing Chief was in such loving and capable hands. Highly recommended! 💛”

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.
“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!”
“The response time was impressively fast, far exceeding my expectations.Offered me meet and greet which I couldn’t due to last minute request, but managed well which greatly enhanced my overall experience.”
About: 💁♂️Communication is available in English, 中文 (Chinese), and Español (Spanish), helping pet parents feel informed and confident throughout their pet's stay. Providing personalized home-style boarding and daycare in a safe, clean, and low-stress environment. To ensure every dog receives plenty of attention and supervision, I only accept a limited number of dogs at a time. For safety reasons, I exclusively care for small dogs under 20 lbs. This helps avoid the risks that can come from mixing large and small dogs together, where significant size differences may increase the chance of accidental injuries during play and daily interactions. With over 10 years of pet care experience and a professional pet grooming background, I understand the unique needs of small breeds, puppies, senior dogs, and dogs requiring medications or supplements. Feeding instructions, medications, and daily routines are carefully followed to help every dog feel comfortable and secure while away from home. Dogs enjoy supervised free-roaming time, comfortable indoor spaces, regular potty breaks, and plenty of one-on-one attention throughout the day. Because this is a home environment rather than a large commercial facility, each dog receives individualized care and close supervision. Whether your dog is staying for a day, a weekend, or an extended visit, they will be cared for with the same attention, patience, and affection as my own pets. 💻 My husband and I currently work from home full-time, running a pet boarding and grooming studio 🐾✂️. This allows us to provide consistent care and attention throughout the day. 🧡 🏡 We're available for boarding every day, including weekends and holidays 🎉, and we ensure your pet stays on their routine with regular feeding 🍽️, playtime 🎾, and bathroom breaks 🚶♂️. 🐶 Your dog will stay in a quiet, smoke-free home 🏡 with two gentle small dogs 🐶🐶 and no children. They’ll live freely in our shared space like part of the family 💕 and will not be crated or kept apart — unless requested. Pets are welcome on furniture 🛋️ if they’re comfortable. 🐱 For cats, we provide a cozy private cat room 🏠 equipped with toys 🎲, a cat tree 🐾, and an automatic water fountain 💧. It’s a calm and relaxing space where cats can feel safe, comfortable, and completely undisturbed by dogs. 😺✨ ✨ My home is secure, clean, and ideal for small dogs who enjoy a calm environment 🌿 and close companionship 🤍 — and equally perfect for cats who appreciate peace and independence. 🐾 📸 Fun Fact: My husband is also a photographer 🎞️ and loves snapping beautiful portraits of our furry guests 🐕🐈 — you might get some frame-worthy shots to remember their stay! 🖼️💫
“Freddie was so stoked! He got lots of play time with his new bff Henri and was very well taken care of. Will definitely book with Michael again. Truly felt like Freddie was with family.”
About: Hello! My name is Jianlei. I’ve had the privilege of caring for three dogs, from their playful puppy days through their senior years. Over time, I’ve learned how to meet their changing needs with patience, love, and attention. Every dog has their own unique personality, and it brings me real joy to understand and care for them as individuals. When you entrust your dog to me, I will personally care for them with the same love and attention I give my own family. Your dog will receive plenty of personal attention in a calm, quiet, and loving environment. Your dog will enjoy 24/7 companionship while staying with me. I spend most of my time at home, and whenever I go out—whether for a walk, a trip to the park, or even a quick errand—I will take your dog with me whenever possible. The only exceptions are essential trips to places where dogs are not allowed, such as the grocery store or medical appointments. We have a cozy, welcoming home with a fenced yard and a small garden where your dog can safely relax and play during the day. On weekends, if the weather and schedule allow, I’ll also take your dog to a larger park where they can explore, enjoy new sights and smells, and safely socialize with other dogs. While staying with us, your dog will receive gentle brushing, plenty of affection, playtime, and cuddles every day. If you’d like, I can also trim their nails weekly to help keep them comfortable and healthy. I also offer homemade meals prepared with fresh, organic ingredients and tailored to your dog’s dietary needs and preferences. This is an optional add-on service with an additional fee. Feel free to ask me about meal options and pricing. Your dog is welcome to explore all areas of our home except the bed. If needed, I can also prepare a quiet, private room where they can relax and have their own space. I understand that dogs need both freedom and a sense of security, and I’ll do everything I can to help them feel calm, comfortable, and loved while they’re away from home. I truly look forward to welcoming your furry friend into our home! Our Daily & Weekly Schedule Here’s a little glimpse into the daily and weekly routine your pet will enjoy while staying with us: 🌅 Morning: Start the day with a refreshing walk around the neighborhood to get some fresh air and stretch those legs. Feed breakfast and make sure everyone is happy and relaxed. 🌞 Late Morning / Early Afternoon: Brush and gently groom your dog and any of our cat friends together, keeping everyone looking their best and feeling comfy. Lots of cuddles, ear scratches, and gentle pats to show them they’re loved. Playtime in our yard or indoor playroom, depending on the weather. 🐾 Afternoon: Another walk to break up the day, offering new scents and sights to explore. More brushing, especially if your dog is a floofy friend who needs extra coat care! 🍽️ Evening: Dinner time for everyone! Relaxed playtime, snuggling up together, and winding down for a calm night. 🗓️ Weekly Highlights: Monday to Friday: Follow the daily routine above—two walks a day, daily grooming, play, and lots of love. Weekends (Saturday & Sunday): We’ll take your dog to a larger local park so they can meet new friends, play in the grass, and sniff around new areas! Extra playtime, more exploring, and a chance to socialize with other dogs if they’re comfortable. Weekly Grooming: Once a week, if you’d like, I’ll trim your dog’s nails to keep them comfortable and healthy. Your pet’s happiness and comfort are always my top priority. Each day is filled with gentle care, play, and affection, ensuring they feel at home even when they’re away from you. Let me know if there’s anything special your dog or cat enjoys—I’d love to make their stay extra special! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. Our home is a cozy and secure place, with a fenced yard and a little garden where your dog can explore safely and freely. Just a minute’s walk from our house is a lovely small park, perfect for short walks and a bit of fresh air. Inside, your dog is welcome to move freely through every room in our home—except for the bed—so they can feel part of the family. If you’d prefer, I can also set up a separate, quiet room just for your dog, giving them their own cozy retreat. If your dog needs a bit of extra space or privacy, I’m always happy to create a dedicated room for them. I understand how important it is to create a space where your dog feels relaxed and cared for, especially when they’re away from you. I’m here to offer them all the love and attention they need, so they can feel safe, calm, and truly at home.
“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.”
“We are so happy we found Catherine and Albert on Rover! Our two dogs absolutely love it there, and they take such great care of them. We love the updates and photos, and the report card they give at the end of the day is the best thing ever!”
About: Have experience mainly with bully breed type dogs 100lbs & under as well as cats, lizards, & fish. My experiences have been mainly with rescues. I have helped find loving homes for dogs as well as caring for and rehoming cats. Everyday is a learning experience and enjoy creating bonds with new fur friends! I currently have a flexible schedule that can be adjusted with reasonable scheduling and communication (usually a week advanced notice is preferred). I typically make time to walk my pets in the early mornings/late afternoons/nights and allow the dogs to roam the yard or come relax inside as they please and depending on weather conditions. I would prefer to have pets (especially dogs) to become familiar with me first before we consider boarding them with me. I can accommodate inhouse crate/private room or outdoor crate/private gated kennel for housing.

About: Your furry friend is sure to be taken care of when they come to our home! With a family of children, there isn't a lack of the entertaining, special attention and love they will be given. My husband and I have been caring for the cats and dogs of our friends for years and are excited to have you consider us to watch after your fur baby! My schedule allows me to be home most of the day and will be available to watch after your fur baby throughout the day to give them walks, playtime, and potty breaks. Choosing the overnight boarding option? Our family winds down around 10 and are early risers, allowing us to give ample attention to your pet. I have a fenced yard and large area for the dogs to play! I have a pool that is gated off and can either let them near the water, or keep them away; whatever you prefer! I do not have any pets of my own and only book one dog at a time, allowing your dog to feel safe and not have to worry about territorial issues.
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: 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!
“Vicky is amazing! She took really good care of our pups and was constantly updating how they were doing per our request. We always enjoyed hearing from her and would definitely ask her to walk our pups again!”
“Honestly one of the greatest dog walkers and dog caretaker ever! Melanie is super responsible and very gentle! My puppy is always scared of new people but Melanie really took the time to recognize what our puppy needed and became best friends with our puppy! Melanie is always on time and super diligent about leaving everything where it belongs like our keys, treats, leash and harness. Melanie is very respectful and we and our puppy will always choose her as our dog walker/caretaker!! Thank you Melanie!”
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.
“I had Cristina walk my dog for 2 weeks while I was away and would definitely book with her again! She's very attentive and gave me detailed updates. She also welcomed all the instruction I provided prior :)”
About: What sets me apart is the level of attention and care I give every pet. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else requires trust, so ill make it a priority to keep owners updated with photos, messages, and details about how their pet is doing. Taking the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, sticking to a feeding schedule, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet like a member of my own family. My goal is to create a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners by providing reliable, attentive, and loving care every visit. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine. As a soccer player, I stay active and enjoy going on runs, long walks, and spending time outdoors, which allows me to provide plenty of exercise and engagement for pets in my care. I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate extra time and attention to each pet throughout the day. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel comfortable, safe, and stress-free. Carefully follow feeding schedules, exercise needs, any medication instructions, and any specific preferences provided by the owner.
“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: 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
“Mark is so great with my dog Sheila. He had some great suggestions for different harnesses we could use, and has helped train her into walking more calmly. He’s punctual and very understanding, and just overall amazing. 10/10 recommend!”
“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.”
“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!”

“We had a great experience with Eric. He is kind & easy going, kept me updated with photos& videos, attentive to my senior dog ‘s needs & followed care instructions, including giving medications AM& PM. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a sitter in the area.”
“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.”
“We really appreciated Lisa (and her family’s) care for our dog Kunga! She was flexible with pick-up and drop-off times and sent updates. Kunga loved her time there. Would totally leave Kunga with Lisa again.”
“Yuhong took care of my kitty while I was on a long vacation. We met prior to ensure Meru could meet Yuhong and it was clear Meru was going to be in great hands. Usually my neighbors will feed my cats while I’m on trips, but one of my cats crossed the rainbow bridge recently, and it gave me such peace of mind that Meru was not alone and had ample sweet and caring company with Yuhong and her husband. Meru had never been away from our home so she (and I) was nervous at first, but warmed up to Yuhong quickly. Yuhong played with Meru twice a day to keep her spirits up. I’m grateful this worked out and to have found a wonderful sitter moving forward!”
“Rique was an amazing sitter for our dog Code! Excellent communication and a great home for our pup to run around. We would not hesitate to have Code stay with Rique again in the future.”
“Lifesaver. Not only was our flight delayed for 2 days and Loretta was awesome and so understanding and flexible about it…but she had to evacuate with our dogs due to the recent fires/winds. She took care of our dogs like they were her own and updated us regularly. I can’t express how grateful I am. It was such a difficult situation and we didn’t have to worry at all about our dogs. She is our go-to for sure! No doubt about it! Thank you Loretta!!!”
“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!”
“Booboo and I had a great experience with Yifan. She asked good questions, followed my detailed instructions, and provided updates with pictures twice a day. She was careful to make sure Booboo didn't jump and got her daily sunbathing in. Booboo is a senior dog and has anxiety but I could tell from the pictures that Booboo acclimated to her environment and enjoyed her time with Yifan. I'd 100% book with her again. :)”
“Amazing experience! My 2 dogs stayed with Jianlei for a few nights and I would definitely book another stay for them in the future. With a park right next door, my dogs were able to take frequent potty breaks and walks. Jianlei was very responsive and sent pictures/updates in the morning and evening which definitely helped with my peace of mind, especially since I have a senior dog. My dogs thoroughly enjoyed their stay. Thank you so much!”
“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.”
“If you are looking for a spectacular sitter, hire Steven! He went above and beyond for our pup, keeping us posted every step of the way with great photos. Our dog has separation anxiety, but Steven handled it flawlessly by dedicating lots of quality time to him and taking him on frequent daily walks. We couldn't have asked for better peace of mind. Highly recommended!”
“Sundae loved her stay with Yang and his family! She was wagging her tail outside the house the moment she arrived and came home very happy. Yang sent updates daily. It’s much easier to leave when your pup is so well cared for. We would happily rebook again!”
“I always know Somi is in great hands with Felicia! We’ve used daycare services for the past 2 years and this is the first time I needed boarding care. Felicia was wonderful as always & made sure to send me updates with pictures & videos! Thank you! You’re the best”
“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”
“We hadn’t taken an overseas vacation in over five years because it’s always been so hard for us to leave our dogs, and honestly, we struggled to find someone we truly trusted. But after our meet and greet with Janelle and Alvin, I immediately felt at ease and knew our babies would be in great hands. I’m so happy to say that instinct was absolutely right. They took care of our two dogs for two days, and the entire experience was seamless. Janelle was incredible with communication! She sent updates and photos regularly without me ever needing to ask, which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. Both Janelle and Alvin have such a calm, kind demeanor, and their home is clean, cozy, and clearly a safe space for pets. One of our dogs is usually very anxious and slow to warm up to new people, but he surprised us by opening up to them right away. That alone speaks volumes. I can’t recommend them enough, and we will absolutely be booking with them again in the future! Thank you Janelle and Alvin for taking such good care of our babies!”
“Once again our pup was taken good care of while we were away. Stephanie is always our first choice! She responds quickly to messages, sends pics, gave our girl her meds, and awesome care!”
