“Nicole and Jarrod were absolute dream sitters for my dog Lola. She is a high energy border collie / Aussie shep mix, and they provided her a weekend of nonstop adventure, stimulation and fun. They truly went above and beyond with their care - sending copious photos, and even giving sweet Lola a bath before pick up. Not to mention their pup Charlie is the sweetest companion to any new friend. Cannot recommend them enough!”
“We are first time Rover users and will definitely be back. Lynn is awesome. She took time to get to know Shuffles and made sure he would be comfortable in her home. We left our pup with complete confidence that he would be loved and cared for. She sent daily updates, too. Awesome experience!”
“Our pup Dale adored Tristi C. and her family. We had to leave for an extended weekend, it was the longest Rover we'd had to have yet, and Tristi was great about sending updates and photos throughout the stay. She was always available if we had questions or needed to check in, and was very accommodating around our travel schedule and late night pick up. Thank you Tristi, we and Dale will def be back!”
“Grant was so great with our dog Dasher! His resident dogs and cats were a welcome treat for Dasher. He took so many fun pictures of them playing which gave us piece of mind while we were away. We will definitely be using his services again!”
“Delila was amazing, she was very communicative, everyday we received a message and a picture about how our dogs were doing. Also, when we picked our dogs she had given them a bath. Will definitely be leaving my dogs with her again. 100% recommended.”
“Pam took wonderful care of Susie !!! I couldn’t be more pleased with her and will definitely have Susie stay with her again. One of my favorite comments was that she treated Susie like a Grand Dog. That was just what I wanted to hear. I would highly recommend Pam !!!”
“Our Leo had great fun while boarding with Arwin and her family. We received multiple updates with pictures of Leo every day while we were on our vacation. Leo got a lot of space to run around their ranch which he absolutely loved it! Thank you so much Arwin for your efforts in caring for Leo!”
About: Since high school I have had experience with normal pets to the exotic! I can honestly say that each animal is an individual that deserves their specific needs acknowledged and met. I do have experience with senior animals that need medication as well as special needs, there hasn’t been an experience that I haven’t learned from! I’ve even read books like Caesar’s Way in order to better understand my own pets and help them. I’ve even been known to be a bit of a perfectionist although that was in my earlier years now I can gladly say am a seasoned sitter! Please feel free to reach out to me before booking my care and I will answer any and all questions! Caring for your family member fits into my routine because at the moment I am a dog Mom of one dachshund with a good partner that loves her as much as I do! I also do volunteer work, which is extremely flexible. Aside from that a lot of what I do is online, which works out great when pet care is involved I will care for your family member by noting all of their needs as well as asking any questions I have about the environment if it was not already covered in our introduction. I like to take notes!
“Amazingly kind people with a great setup for taking care of dogs. I was very impressed with everything and loved the photos I received while I was traveling. Highly recommend.”
“Ruby watched my pup while I was away and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience! From the very first interaction, she was professional, friendly, and eager to ensure my boy felt comfortable and safe in my absence. Throughout the time I was away,, Ruby provided regular updates, including photos and videos, which made me feel at ease and reassured that my pet was being well cared for. I would highly recommend Ruby to anyone in need of a reliable and caring pet sitter. I will certainly be booking again for my next trip!”
“Kelsey was super responsive and great about sending pictures and updates! My dog had a great time playing with her dog and the other dogs in her care, and was exhausted when he got him (the way he gets when he plays all day!) The environment was safe and fun, prefect for my playful guy.”
“I appreciate the communication I received from Leslie throughout our first trial one night stay of my highly anxious, deaf, blind senior miniature pinscher. Leslie clearly has a lot of experience with high needs pets and her competence made me feel more comfortable about leaving my pet in her care. He was high maintenance this visit but Leslie took it all in stride and I’m happy she is willing to take him again in the future.”
“Yuanyuan was wonderful about sending me pics and videos of my dog while he stayed with her. She was also flexible and agreed to keep him a few extra days when we had a family emergency. I will absolutely be booking with her in the future!”
“Jennifer and her family are the best! I never worry leaving our boy with them. He has so much fun and comes home tired. Jennifer was so flexible this time when we had to drop Cooper off a little early, thank you again!”
“We have only had Mollie since last December. She is a rescue and a sweet girl. We had the opportunity to go on a trip with friends. I wasn't sure how she would do with new folks since we had not had her with other dogs or people. Our get acquainted visit was the best experience for both of us. She was glad to see me when I picked her up, which was great! She had a good time playing with other dogs and running and smelling around their fenced property. A lake and waterfall and lots of good smells made Mollie a very happy girl. She is nine and her vision and hearing are not great but she loves to smell. Thank you to Linda and her husband! They are perfect folks to care for dogs. Kind, patient, and relaxed! We will do this again!”
“Sandy has watched my Charm 2 times and she won’t be able to get rid of us now! Sandy is so caring and gives updates often. I have no worries at all dropping my pup with her. I highly recommend her!”
“Tiffany took great care of our boy and treated him like a part of the family. She was very communicative and sent a ton of pictures, which is great. It allowed us to have our weekend out of town knowing Kona was in good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Sarah (and her wonderful daughters) went above and beyond caring for our fur babies! Leaving your pets behind is always tough, but Sarah made it completely worry-free. She kept us in the loop the entire time and sent the sweetest photo updates that totally brightened our days. Our dogs absolutely adored her and her family—they looked so incredibly happy, relaxed, and loved in every single picture. It is such a relief to find a sitter who truly treats your pets like their own. Sarah is reliable, communicative, and exceptionally kind. We cannot recommend her highly effects and will definitely be booking her again!”

“Carrington is one of the most enthusiastic and thorough sitters I've had. She sent lots of pictures, detailed updates, and proactively reached out about any issues or questions that came up. She cares deeply about animals and makes sure she is meeting their needs. 100% recommended! She's awesome.”
“Sonya is a star! 🌟 I am so happy with her care and support of my fur babies. She was punctual, attentive and so warm and loving of my kitties. All directions were followed purrfectly, and she even brought a brushy glove of her own to love up on my cats with. I am super super pleased and will definitely be looking to request her to help us again in the future. I highly recommend Sonya for reliable, caring and loving pet services!! You will not be disappointed! 🐾🐈⬛💟💯☮️🐈🐾”
About: I have dog sat professionally for the past two years and do not mind dogs that bark or need special care. I enjoy taking time out of my day to give them extra walks and potty breaks as needed. I don’t have other pets currently so will not bother the dogs. I also have experience walking multiple dogs at a time without an issue. I will not leave the dog unattented if it needs special care and will make sure to take the time out of each day to take them out to a dog park ir whatever is exciting for the dog to enjoy. Running with dogs or taking them on bike rides as requested it also feasible. If you are needing a cat sit or boarding, I will make sure to let you know in advance if I have other dogs at my place before I accept.
“We've used Kay several times now as a cat-sitter, and each time our cat is happy and healthy when we return, we get plenty of thorough updates, and our house is just as we left it. Thanks, Kay!”
“Mikayla is great! Her communication is excellent, and she did a great job of giving one of our kitties his medication, which can be difficult. We are glad to have found her!”
“I’ve booked with her three times now. This time - for drop-ins with my cat, and she has been consistently great. She always makes sure his litter box is clean, his food and water are full, and she takes the time to play with him, which I really appreciate. It gives me peace of mind knowing he’s in good hands while I’m away. She does a wonderful job, and I’ll definitely keep booking with her!”
“Sienna took amazing care of my kitties for the weekend and made me feel super relaxed and comfortable. My cats are very shy but she got them out of their shells the first day with her attentiveness and care. Sienna did an excellent job communicating throughout the weekend and sent me a ton of pictures of my cats which made me so happy! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone- you can really tell she cares deeply for animals.”
“Kassandra did an awesome job taking care of my cat Nala while I was away camping for 4 days! They were super responsive, communicative, and provided great updates. Nala seemed happy with their company, and I could tell Nala was well taken care of. They went above and beyond to ensure Nala's comfort and happiness. I feel lucky to have found them on Rover and I'll work with Kassandra again in the future. 10/10 - Would recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care and been around cats since I was little. I’m extremely in tune with their quirks and reading what they’re okay and not okay with. I’ve had 3 of my own cats, male and female. I know how to give oral medications and injections.
About: I have taken care of animals since I was a child all the way from administration of medicine to birthing animals on a farm to just feeding and walking and loving on animals. I have had experience with puppies all the way to seniors. I have also helped train animals on and off. I would love to have the chance to be your fur babies next best friend. I am free almost always as I work from home. I work from home and I am free almost always and always can make time for animals. I am free mornings all the way to evenings. I live on a farm in a fenced in yard. My sheep are separated from the other animals but do well around the sheep but I would keep clients animals away. One dog is an outside dog but comes in and one is a full time inside dog. She sleeps with me and loves to go on car rides and both are friendly animals. I have cats who live on the farm but they do there on thing and get along well with other animals. I can follow instructions well if you have a certain way you would like things done.
“I came home shortly after Jasmine came to check up a final time and dropped Willow off. Both Naomi and Willow are so incredibly tired but absolutely happy! I am so glad all my girls got tons of exercise with Jasmine and her companion, Kiwi. As a first time user of this website, and of hiring a pet sitter in general, I was absolutely happy to get regular check in's/ updates on all my girls while I was away. I was admittedly very nervous to have a sitter come over but Jasmine made it such a smooth and easy process. She definitely gained my trust for future needs and I will absolutely be recommending her to friends and colleagues.”
“Jillian was great! She ensured Sunny was well looked after and at ease during the fireworks, and she kept me updated with numerous photos of their brushing and cuddling sessions. It's clear that they had many exciting outdoor adventures, given that Sunny is an outdoor cat. Jillian ensured his food and water dishes were always full, provided plenty of tuna snacks, and even cleaned his litter box. Considering the way they interacted in the videos, it's evident that they share a special bond. I wholeheartedly recommend Jillian and will definitely hire her again.”
“Yolanda is genuinely fantastic!!! First of all, she’s so kind and you can tell she truly loves animals and people. She came and met our furry family and was very attentive to the details of how to care for them. Prior to our vacation, she checked in and was very communicative and excited to come and stay. I sent a few videos via the app on some updated protocols with the kitty meds, and she was on it! While she was here, she sent sweet pics of our kitties and kept us posted. Our cats are “elders” and needs meds, and she did a great job handling all of it! She left our house spotless and communicated prior to heading out as well. I would HIGHLY recommend Yolanda to care for you furry family ❤️🙏”
“Alexis is literally THE best. She’s great at communication and made sure to send picture updates and visit updates twice a day, since that’s how often she visited our pups. Our dogs love her so much! And so do we!!!”

“Very satisfied with Dan and his care for my Daisy. I left food for her but none was given. Just one water break. At home she drinks a lot of water and is fed twice a day. So I am puzzled! Dan is a great host and provides great care. I will be using his services in the future!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Leslie. She is the perfect dog sitter. Leslie was so kind and patient with my very sweet but somewhat timid little maltipoo. She has her home set up perfectly for dog care and is very flexible in meeting the needs of the dogs she watches. Her back yard is lovely and very secure. I highly recommend her.”
“Kelsey is amazing as always! I had a last minute request due to my husband being in the hospital and she accommodated the situation so quickly. She takes great care of Lilly and always sends great photos of my girl which makes my mind at ease. I would highly recommend Kelsey to anyone in the area looking for someone to watch your fur baby!”

“Michelle was very accommodating and friendly! First time leaving our dog with someone besides family, and I felt very confident that our Dexter was cared for just like we would have hoped! He's now asleep and I think will stay that way for a day or two lol.”
“Olivia was great! I highly recommend her! We had a funeral to attend in the Yuba City area and our dog sitter wasn't available..Olivia agreed to watch Bandit with 1 days notice. She sent pictures & gave us updates throughout the afternoon. You could tell she loves dogs! We will definitely use her services again if we ever have a need again for a sitter in that area of California!”
“Amanda was great. She sent me pictures throughout his day. He obviously had a great day because he fell asleep before we got to the end of her street and he ate dinner and snored and slept all night. I'll definitely use her for my sitting needs.”
About: I have experience with puppies, beginner obedience training and potty training. Senior dog care, special needs, surgery or vet procedure recovery and care. Active dogs that need lots of engagement and exercise or dogs that just want to hang out and cuddle. I work primarily from home, have a safe and fenced yard. Our home is open with lots to explore or we can provide a safe, quiet space if your pet needs that. I have a safe, fenced yard they can run around in or if they would rather hang out with me, sit in my lap, lay in my bed. I walk multiple times a day and have nature and walking trails around my home. I have a quiet room if your pet needs quiet space or they can run around the house and explore and play with my kids (10 and 12) and hang out with my family.
“Jennifer did a wonderful job caring for our Golden Retriever in her home! She was professional, kind and caring, with us (dog parents) and our dog! Jennifer provided text updates and pictures which we LOVED and appreciated! Jennifer and her family took excellent care, feeding and supervision of our Kea, and I would highly recommend her care for other dogs!”
“Dude had an amazing visit with Dongjun and Minkoung and their daughter. I would highly recommend this family to anyone looking for a sitter! Dude will forsure be back for another visit”

“Natalie is kind, consistent and reliable. We’ve been very lucky to have her skillful, calm, presence assisting with daily walks and positive reinforcement training for our high energy pup, Kai.”
About: I have had pets my whole life. I have experience with dogs from English mastiffs, to chihuahuas. I love cats, lizards, birds, literally all animals. I work/live on Beale AFB. I am very flexible. If you live on base I can go to your home on my lunch for a quick visit. Like I said I am an animal lover. I came on here after seeing how hard of a time some of our military members were having finding someone to take care of their furry friends. There are so many stressors associated within life that finding someone to genuinely care for your furry family members while away on vacation, TDY, visiting family- that should not have to be one.
“Sonya does an excellent job! Not only is she great with my crazy pup, her background in animal nutrition has been an invaluable resource as I am working to improve my dogs diet. I appreciate her availability and wonderful care!”
“Elle has a kind and humble manner with animals, and was able to gain the trust of our shelter adoptee with mild separation anxiety, early on. Elle has been Kai's main handler for the past two weeks and has been very consistent with the schedule and very capable with some simply training commands that have been countering some reactive behavior. We are very grateful!”
About: I've had the pleasure of loving and taking care of furbabies of all sizes for 20 years. I first started pet sitting for an acquaintance in 2005. Later, when I became established in the area as a trusted house cleaner, I started pet sitting for some of my clients and their friends. Sadly, I lost all my clients and contacts save one in the Camp Fire as my client base was in Paradise and Magalia. Since then, I have taken care of my own little furbabies and ever so often cared for the Chihuahua/Pug/Terrier mix of the one remaining client from Paradise. Within the years that I was actively pet sitting, I took care of dogs of all sizes from Chihuahuas to Whippets. I am excited to once again assist you with your pet sitting needs and ensure the best attention is given to your dog’s health, happiness, and well-being! For my clients in Paradise and Magalia, I did both drop-ins and overnight stays. (My favorite memory was staying with two little lovely Dachsies for three weeks!) I made sure each pet I took care of was fed as per the instructions given to me and that they had access to fresh, clean water. Whether it’s maintaining a regular meal routine or making sure your pet stays hydrated throughout the day, I prioritize comfort and health for all furbabies in my care. I also have experience administering medications, whether oral or topical, and am dedicated to ensuring your pets specific medical needs are met with precision and care. I know personally the importance of a vet's instructions and the proper maintenance of a consistent medication routine. I also know the importance of exercise in keeping a pet happy and healthy. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll or a more vigorous activity, I am happy to ensure that your pet gets the exercise and playtime they need! Above all, each dog that I have taken care of I have treated as part of my family. I look forward to providing your furbaby with the same love, attention, and care that I have given to my past clients and to my own pets! My schedule has changed and is more open during the work week. I currently have a day job between the hours of 12:30PM and 2:30PM, Monday through Friday. My hours can be flexible with this day job. I am available early morning and some evenings during the work week. My schedule changes, on occasion, in the evenings Monday through Friday. My weekends are fully free and am available for pet sitting, dog walking and drop-ins all day on Saturday and Sunday. For any pet in my care, whether it has been a client's pet or my own, I have always ensured that they have gotten plenty of love and quality care. For past clients, I adhered to all instructions given pertaining to feeding time, exercise and medications if applicable. I made sure there were plenty of cuddles and that every pet in my care felt safe and secure.
About: Since I was a young child, I have been fond of pets, and as an adult, my affection for them has only increased. I'm passionate about getting to know the many kinds of animals. Throughout the years, I have offered to help, taken care of family and friends' pets, and loved my own pets. My availability is open. I am available to stay overnight and can visit your pets in the early morning ☀️ and late at night 🌙. When handling frightened or shy animals I try to maintain a sense of calm and patience. Because they are sensitive to change and can be missing their family members. I try to keep my lovely Sasha😽 on the same schedule. Give her healthy, food that is high in nutrients. Give her Access to Clean Water. Give her a Warm and Caring Home. Whenever she needs to Answer Nature's Call she always has a well maintains litter box to go too . I always try to find fun toys for her to keep her occupied while I work.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life. I walk a malamute and husky a lot. I pet sit for smaller dogs too. I love walking dogs because it’s a good exercise for them I’m currently looking for a job so I have a lot of time to hangout and play with your animals and to care for them When walking dogs I walk them for an hour and I always bring water to make sure they get the water they need and don’t overheat
About: I’m an experienced pet and farm sitter. I’ve taken care of other peoples animals, ranches and farms (chickens, cows, horses, donkeys, pigs, goats, dogs, bunnies and cats) for over 10 years. My clients are now primarily dogs and cats, but I am experienced and open to accepting all animals! I have experience with live-stock guardian pets, reactive animals, high energy pets, and pets that just want to relax all day. I am comfortable and familiar with animals who have anxiety, boundary reactivity, resource guarding issues, behavioral issues, puppies, senior animals and so much more. I’ve worked in shelters, on farms, and in training for over 10 years. Your animals will be treated just like my own-with love, respect and understanding! I am typically unavailable Tuesdays and Thursdays, but always feel free to ask about a particular Tuesday or Thursday and I may be able to schedule with you. Feel free to ask any questions about schedules. My rates include constant care while I’m with your animals. I don’t currently offer boarding since one of my dogs is reactive. Your pets safety is my biggest priority! I want to care for your pets in the way you do, to ensure they’re as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I am open to any schedule, services, and needs your pet has!
About: People often say I have a way with animals. They always seem drawn to me immediately, even when they are wary of others. I feel honored that animals feel this way about me because I feel the same about them! I have cared for many dogs of all sizes as well as owned cats. I have volunteered at a dog rescue in Thailand that has many disabled dogs as well as fostered cats/kittens here at home. I have a big fenced yard with both grass and forest to run and play. I don’t have multiple dogs staying with me at one time ( unless discussed in advance) so your baby will get all the attention. Although I will never replace you, I can provide love and safety until you return (and probably some treats and adventures too!) I'm currently not working and can dedicate my time to pet/house sitting and care. As you can see from my photo gallery, I love all animals and have volunteered at a dog rescue in Thailand, fostered kittens at home, and have seen very cool animals in the wild and at animal rescues/sanctuaries around the world. (I always vet them to make sure they are ethical and doing legit work) I have a large fenced yard and indoor space for cats or dogs. We have plenty of shade and are also willing to take pets with us on outings. I live with my husband and son and they also love and respect animals. As far as caring for pets at someone else's home, I can stay at your house or check in as often as needed. I will play with them, feed them, bathe them, take them places (if requested) and give them love. I know they miss their people and its not the same without you, but I do my best to make them feel safe and comfortable.
About: I am a huge animal lover with a lifelong passion for pet care. Growing up surrounded by animals, I learned early on how to provide attentive, loving, and reliable care. Whether it's an energetic kitten or a senior dog who needs a gentle touch, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Animals I have experience with: Cats & Dogs: All life stages, from playful kittens/puppies to sweet seniors. I have an incredibly flexible schedule right now, which means I have plenty of open time to dedicate entirely to your pets! My days are wide open to focus on your fur babies, ensuring they get regular bathroom breaks, plenty of active playtime, and all the attention they deserve. I am highly accommodating for weekday routines. Safety and trust are my absolute top priorities when caring for your animals. Whether visiting for drop ins or house sitting, I treat your home with the utmost respect and follow your exact instructions to keep your pets safe. As an obsessed cat parent with two felines of my own, I am highly attentive to animal behavior, ensuring a calm, happy, and completely stress free experience for your fur babies right in their own comfortable environment.
About: I love being with all animals and especially older and disabled animals. I have my experience from working in Animal Shelters for about 2 years, doggie daycares, pet crematories and also petsitting for different companies and myself over 25 yrs. I am a full time traveling pet/housesitter with my 15yr old pup. I have the luxury of boarding dogs at my longterm housesit in Grass Valley during the summers. I have owned many animals throughout my life and have experience with meds, subQ fluids, end of life, aggressive dogs/cats and finicky pets. I'll treat your babies as if they were mine! I can also share many reviews from other platforms upon request. I am always available to help you out with your fur babies anytime! I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule. Everyday, any time. A typical day for dog care is a 1 hr walk/hike in the morning, chill/snack/play, and then one more 1 hr walk in the evening. We go to a different location for each walk! I will follow all directions given in writing on how to care best for your sweet baby. I can do walks, playtime, exercise, training, massage and reiki and anything else needed!
About: Animals in my care are given lots of love and snuggles, clean food and water, mental and physical exercise, and a cozy bed near a human! I have taken care of many dogs for friends, family, and clients. Your pup will have a wonderful time staying at our farm on 1 fenced-off acre with another very friendly dog, Teddy Bear Tom. We have a large sturdy kennel in the garage upon the client's request. We prefer to have your fur baby with either myself, my husband, or my teenage daughter. Thanks for choosing us to take care of your precious pup! I am a full-time care provider for dogs of all ages. Your fur baby will never be left alone except when I take my potty break or prepare a meal. I supervise and actively play with the fur babies that I am taking care of. We have nap time together as well. Fur babies can play as much as they want outside as weather permits. They can snuggle inside the house if that's what they want to do. I am very in tune with and attentive to the needs and emotions of animals. Reading facial expressions and animal body language is a skill I have acquired. :) I have a tall fenced backyard as well as a large fenced dog run. I have two friendly dogs that your fur baby can play with. Your fur baby will have separate sleeping quarters (from my dogs) which have A/C, heat, a big bed, water bowls, and a sound machine. Potty Breaks and Outdoor time are as often as you prefer and as much as the weather permits. If your doggo is more comfortable relaxing inside, that's okay too!
“A++++ Requested her in the evening- first walk ever, and she was here within 30 or so minutes and lives 20 miles away! Very nice and friendly and my dog is very apprehensive of others because she isn’t socialized much. She handled her excellent and my dog can’t wait to have her back again!! Very professional, kind, smart, hard working young lady. Definitely our go to person from now on!!”
About: I have had a variety of animals always in my life. I have cared for dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, fish and rodents. (All of which I've had at some point) I have also worked for a rescue charity for 7+ years which resulted in having learned basic and emergency care, as well as administration of medication. I am retired and looking to fill my time with love and cuddles. I have always enjoyed caring for the variety of animals I have and have had. I love learning all the cute special quirks and loves of every animal I interact with. I am very respectful of other people's space and items - my focus is on the animals in my charge. I can feed, walk, play and generally be a companion to any animal. I also respect the home and treat it even better than my own, ensuring that I leave the home as I found it.
About: I’m a huge animal lover of both cats and dogs! I’ve had experience training puppies and also caring, walking, crate training, and maintaining a healthy feeding schedule. I’m open any day of the week at any times and I’m able to come house sit. Most animals are comfortable in their own home so whatever works best for them. I will ensure a safe environment for your pet whether that be crating your pet, keeping a close eye on your pet, and providing them play as a healthy distraction as you arrive.
About: Been a proud owner of goats, cats, chickens, reptiles and dogs. I've had experience in the veterinary field, worked with and cared for livestock and house pets. I am currently working as a veterinary assistant in PV. My schedule is Monday through Thursday from 8:30/9:00am to 5pm. If your pet is able to be left home while I work then perfect! Otherwise I am fully available for long weekends. :) In my own home I have reptiles and three cats and one older dog around. If your pet is staying with me or I’m keeping them company in your own home, I always am engaging with the pet. Any opportunity to play and have some fun, we’re doing it! If they’re more laid back and want to snooze next to me, I will relax with them.

“Nicole and Jarrod were absolute dream sitters for my dog Lola. She is a high energy border collie / Aussie shep mix, and they provided her a weekend of nonstop adventure, stimulation and fun. They truly went above and beyond with their care - sending copious photos, and even giving sweet Lola a bath before pick up. Not to mention their pup Charlie is the sweetest companion to any new friend. Cannot recommend them enough!”
“Our pup Dale adored Tristi C. and her family. We had to leave for an extended weekend, it was the longest Rover we'd had to have yet, and Tristi was great about sending updates and photos throughout the stay. She was always available if we had questions or needed to check in, and was very accommodating around our travel schedule and late night pick up. Thank you Tristi, we and Dale will def be back!”
“Grant was so great with our dog Dasher! His resident dogs and cats were a welcome treat for Dasher. He took so many fun pictures of them playing which gave us piece of mind while we were away. We will definitely be using his services again!”
“Delila was amazing, she was very communicative, everyday we received a message and a picture about how our dogs were doing. Also, when we picked our dogs she had given them a bath. Will definitely be leaving my dogs with her again. 100% recommended.”
“Our Leo had great fun while boarding with Arwin and her family. We received multiple updates with pictures of Leo every day while we were on our vacation. Leo got a lot of space to run around their ranch which he absolutely loved it! Thank you so much Arwin for your efforts in caring for Leo!”
About: Since high school I have had experience with normal pets to the exotic! I can honestly say that each animal is an individual that deserves their specific needs acknowledged and met. I do have experience with senior animals that need medication as well as special needs, there hasn’t been an experience that I haven’t learned from! I’ve even read books like Caesar’s Way in order to better understand my own pets and help them. I’ve even been known to be a bit of a perfectionist although that was in my earlier years now I can gladly say am a seasoned sitter! Please feel free to reach out to me before booking my care and I will answer any and all questions! Caring for your family member fits into my routine because at the moment I am a dog Mom of one dachshund with a good partner that loves her as much as I do! I also do volunteer work, which is extremely flexible. Aside from that a lot of what I do is online, which works out great when pet care is involved I will care for your family member by noting all of their needs as well as asking any questions I have about the environment if it was not already covered in our introduction. I like to take notes!
“Amazingly kind people with a great setup for taking care of dogs. I was very impressed with everything and loved the photos I received while I was traveling. Highly recommend.”
“Kelsey was super responsive and great about sending pictures and updates! My dog had a great time playing with her dog and the other dogs in her care, and was exhausted when he got him (the way he gets when he plays all day!) The environment was safe and fun, prefect for my playful guy.”
“Jennifer and her family are the best! I never worry leaving our boy with them. He has so much fun and comes home tired. Jennifer was so flexible this time when we had to drop Cooper off a little early, thank you again!”
“We have only had Mollie since last December. She is a rescue and a sweet girl. We had the opportunity to go on a trip with friends. I wasn't sure how she would do with new folks since we had not had her with other dogs or people. Our get acquainted visit was the best experience for both of us. She was glad to see me when I picked her up, which was great! She had a good time playing with other dogs and running and smelling around their fenced property. A lake and waterfall and lots of good smells made Mollie a very happy girl. She is nine and her vision and hearing are not great but she loves to smell. Thank you to Linda and her husband! They are perfect folks to care for dogs. Kind, patient, and relaxed! We will do this again!”
“Sandy has watched my Charm 2 times and she won’t be able to get rid of us now! Sandy is so caring and gives updates often. I have no worries at all dropping my pup with her. I highly recommend her!”
“Tiffany took great care of our boy and treated him like a part of the family. She was very communicative and sent a ton of pictures, which is great. It allowed us to have our weekend out of town knowing Kona was in good hands. Highly recommend!”

“Logan was so great watching Layla, giving lots of updates and pictures and videos of their adventures. We felt very comfortable she was in good care and look forward to her next stay with Logan!”
“Nicole went above and beyond to make sure my pup was comfortable and well adjusted to her home. She also went above and beyond with communicating with me! I’ll be booking again!”
“Lainey loved her stay with Amanda! Amanda sent me lots of photos and kept in good communication. She took our dog out on walks and did lots of outside time with her. She was also flexible with pickup time for us!”
“Alba did an amazing job taking care of our dog, Athena, while we were out of town! She kept us updated frequently, sharing how Athena was doing along with adorable pictures and videos. Alba's communication was fantastic, and when we picked up Athena, she gave us a concise and clear summary of how the overall stay went. It was such a relief knowing Athena was in such caring and capable hands. Highly recommend Alba for anyone looking for a dependable pet sitter!”
“Laura took care of our 19 year old poodle and did a great job! She sent us messages to keep us posted on how Mochi was doing and also a video of Mochi eating which was a concern because she is a picky eater. Mochi spent time in her backyard and was even described as frolicking which showed us mochi was happy and relaxed at Laura’s! We definitely recommend Laura to watch your babies! 🥰”
“Sam was awesome! Our pup unexpectedly needed to be on antibiotics when we dropped her off and Sam handled her medications perfectly! We received pictures which also gave us peace of mind.”
