“Olivia and Sebastien were so great! This was the longest we’d ever left our dog Millie, but we got so many great pictures and videos we knew she was having a great time!! They were responsive, friendly, and had clear communication with us. They went above and beyond to make sure all Millie’s needs were met / special requests were followed. Their dog Zuko is also so great, Millie had a great time while we were away! Would recommend them to anyone.”

Lori is friendly and communicative and has a dog-friendly house with yard that Theo loved. It’s great to know I can leave Theo with her and he’ll get walks and cuddles and be taken care of”

Linda, her husband, and Sammie took wonderful care of Finn and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Linda kept us updated throughout the week with messages and photos - it was clear that he was treated like part of the family. We can definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and attentive dog sitter.”
About: I’m a dog mom with many years of experience taking good care of pups of all ages and sizes. I work from home with an extremely friendly dog of my own so your dog will have company all day and night! I work fully remote with a flexible schedule. Your dog will always get a morning walk with mine, potty breaks whenever needed, and I can accommodate any feeding schedule. I’m available to provide daycare and board most weekdays and most weekends. I have a fenced backyard patio for potty breaks and time outside. Your pup will have free rein in the house with a doggy playmate. I generally do not crate or cage my dog when I’m out of the house, but can separate your pup as needed based on your requirements. I have cameras in my home for monitoring so I can always check what the pups are up to!
“My was incredibly sweet with Mosley. When my flight changed and I had to return much later than anticipated she was kind enough to arrange a last minute additional stay. I loved getting all of the text checkins and pictures about Mosley’s day. Would recommend to anyone!”
“Christy took great care of our elderly dog! She was able to handle giving her several medications twice a day and took her on walks. It seemed like our pup received lots of love and attention. We also got pictures and videos throughout her stay!”

“I wasn’t sure if our dog Fiona wanted to go back home with us! This is the sign that Michael and his family really gave Fiona the best care while we were away. She probably had more fun at Michael’s than she usually has at our house. Thank you Michael for taking care of her.”
“Thank you Claire! Our Kobe was spoiled rotten in your care! You are the quintessential dog whisperer! I can’t wait til we visit next time and Kobe to see you and Leo! Thank you for your love and wonderful care.”
About: With over 30 years of experience, I provide personalized care that prioritizes your pet’s comfort and happiness. What sets me apart is my focus on behavioral consistency and specialized attention for different life stages. I have extensive experience in puppy training support, using positive reinforcement to maintain your training goals, as well as providing gentle senior care for older pets who prefer a slower pace and extra companionship.

Because my 2026 photography schedule is flexible, I am now fully open for pet sitting and can offer the reliable, high-quality care your pets deserve. As a special bonus, you won't just get a safe and happy pet—you will also receive beautiful, high-quality "souvenir" photos of their daily adventures while you are away. In 2026, creating a safe and trustworthy environment for your pet is my highest priority. Whether I am caring for them in my home or yours, I begin every engagement with a thorough meet-and-greet to align on routines and tour the property for potential safety hazards. In your home, I strictly follow all security protocols, including locking gates, managing alarm codes, and ensuring hazardous items like cleaning supplies or loose cables are inaccessible. To build lasting trust, I maintain transparent communication by providing real-time updates and professional-quality photo check-ins throughout the day. My approach is designed to preserve your pet's familiar routine, reducing their stress while ensuring your home remains secure and respected in your absence.

About: Hi! I’ve been around animals my whole life—growing up with both cats and dogs taught me early how to care for pets with love and patience. Over the years, I’ve been the go-to sitter for my friends whenever they go out of town, whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or just making sure their pets feel comfortable and cared for. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs, and I always do my best to match their energy and routines. Whether your furry friend is energetic and playful or more laid-back and shy, I’ve got them covered!

When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with respect and follow all instructions closely—from feeding routines and walk preferences to any special needs or behaviors. I take extra care to ensure doors, gates, and crates are always secure, and I never leave pets unattended longer than agreed. I stay attentive during walks and in the home to keep your pet safe at all times. You can expect clear communication and regular updates, so you always know how your pet is doing and can feel confident they’re in good hands.

“When my husband and I brought home our puppy, Bridget, our biggest concern was how she would be cared for while we’re at work. Alice and Trey alleviated any worries and then some! They are communicative, attentive, and treat Bridget like one of their own. I can go to work with total confidence and peace of mind that she is well cared for and enjoying fresh air, exercise, and socialization. They have been nothing short of a blessing for us as our pup grows!”

About: I've had a dog for 16 years that I've taken care of, walked, fed, etc. I have also watched friends dogs while they were away.

“This was my first rover so I was admittedly quite nervous. Not only for myself, but even my dogs caretaker as at 4 months old, she can still have puppy like tics. Despite it all, Linda was communicative, thorough and a joy to interact with. You can tell her family has a great vibe, and that reflects in how they treat their dogs. I’m especially appreciative that we were a bit late to pick my pup up due to some traffic and Linda was so understanding and patient. Two paws way way up ?”
“Christy did an awesome job watching my dog - she was great with communication and sent so many pictures and videos while he was there! The second day pulling onto her street, he got soo excited in the car that he was coming back and having the closed in backyard was great for my energetic dog, would definitely recommend!”
About: Hi! I’m Skyler, a recent University of Michigan graduate spending the summer in Solana Beach before moving to NYC in September. I’ve been caring for dogs for over 5 years and genuinely love spending time with animals. I’ve provided dog sitting, overnight care, walks, feeding, playtime, and medication for dogs of all ages and sizes. I’ve dog sat for many families through local Facebook groups. My own dog had epilepsy, so I have personal experience caring for a dog with medical needs, including administering medication and recognizing when extra attention is needed. I treat every pet like they’re my own and will make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your dog!! :) I have a flexible schedule this summer and am available most weekdays, evenings, and weekends.

I treat every pet and every home with the same care and respect that I would my own.
“Sophie is great! She is caring and attentive. Maisy enjoyed her week playing with Snow and hanging out. I felt super comfortable that Maisy was well cared for. She came home exhausted from an active day with her new friends!”
“Our MOSH gets a bit diffensive sometimes but he liked Laura from the first sight and I was amazed when I saw his relaxed face in her pictures! Thank you for taking wonderful care of him.”
“We just moved to San Diego from Dallas, TX, and we were a bit nervous about finding a new pet host for our 2 year Yorkie-Poo, Teddy. I went on Rover and as soon as I saw Sarah's profile phot and read her profile I got a good vibe. I reached out and we exchanged a few messages before setting an appointment for a few hours on Saturday so we could go out to dinner with friends. Me and my husband were still nervous, but as soon as we met Sarah the nervousness was replaced with a great feeling! Sarah exudes kindness and care. She sent us updates regularly -and photos! When we picked up Teddy, he was happy and calm. I just met Sarah, but I already love her! She welcomed Teddy into her home and I felt that we were at the start of mutually rewarding relationship. I highly recommend Sarah!”
About: I have been a dog owner and animal lover my whole life! I am loving, compassionate, trustworthy and responsible. Your pets will receive a lot of attention, playtime and love from me! They will be treated as one of the family. I have raised my own puppies and cared for my senior dogs. I have fostered dogs for Norcal Golden Retreiver Rescue (where I rescued one of my dogs) and I have also volunteered at Pets In Need for both dogs and cats. Many friends call on me to help walk, feed and pet/housesit for them when they go out of town. Over the last 7 years, I have worked as a Personal Assistant/Home Manager for many high level executives and have cared for their homes and pets. I have over 30 years experience with cats as well. I raised my own kittens and would be happy to care for yours as well! Sadly, I lost my 12 year old Golden Retriever, Jax, in October 2024, so I have a lot of extra love to give. I'm currently home working on small personal projects and available most weekdays, so I am very flexible and have plenty of time to care for and play with your pet or pets! I'm available most weekdays and some weekends as well. I have a safe, fenced in yard. We live on a quiet cul-de-sac and live in a very dog-friendly, loving home. All pets are treated like family :) Your pet's safety and happiness are very important to me.
“Ari was so wonderful from start to finish! I was in a pinch, needed a babysitter last minute and Ari was immediately responsive and very flexible with my dog Rex’s needs and background. Ari was super communicative throughout the day, sent pictures and updates frequently. Ari was also very patient with Rex, which I appreciate because he could be wary of new people. He ended up having a really good and easy day in Ari’s care! This is my first time using the Rover app to find a babysitter for Rex and I would recommend Ari to anyone!”
About: As a certified Holistic Health Practitioner I look at animal care from all aspects. I make sure they get good nutrition, exercise and interaction with other dogs. I am okay with senior dogs' needs, like diapers or special soft food or medication or even hand feeding. There are no cancer causing pesticides being used around our home and only bio-degradable non-toxic cleaners. For me dogs are supporting and protecting us on our journeys physically, emotionally, energetically and spiritually. I also offer canine massage. My husband and I are working from home and our daughter (19) is currently taking online classes. All of us love animals very much and enjoy being around them... We have a fully fenced yard (6 ft) and 2 little dogs ( one senior and one puppy) to keep your dog company. We have balls and toys to play with and your dog is welcome to share the dog beds and our couch with everybody. Our porch door is open all day which makes potty training easy and gives your dog plenty of outdoor time. We usually take everybody for a nice sunset walk and can add a nice beach walk to the day. We do not use any pesticides or harsh chemicals and there are no toxic/ poisonous plants in our yard/home.
“I am very grateful to find Shuo to take care of my dog. From the moment my dog met her, it was clear they hit it off — she’s a natural with dogs! She’s experienced, pays attention to detail, and truly cares about dogs. I’ll definitely be booking again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, reliable sitter!"”
“Elizabeth truly took time to get to know and care for our girl Sweets. She was wonderful to communicate with and very understanding of the special needs and quirks of our sweet girl. We recommend her and will be using her again for sure!”
“I usually don’t like to leave my dog with strangers but I’m so glad someone like Claire is able to take care of my boy, and show him love. Claire is very loving and responsive. I’d definitely take any pet to her before anyone else on this app. I can tell my dog loves going over there with her!”
About: I grew up with dogs, both big and small, including my own as well as fostered puppies my whole life. I am home sick and missing loving my furry friends at home. I currently work from home 5 days a week and have a flexible schedule. I live a very active lifestyle and love to go on walks. I have a very pet friendly environment and have taken care of multiple of my friends dogs. My apartment is animal friendly with space, comfortability, and allows us to tend to animal needs.
“Lan took very good care of Peanut. Last minute I had to change my reservation to assist my friend with her dog and Lan accommodated the situation with no hesitancy. Peanut was a happy camper and the photo helped to ease my concerns of him being in an unfamiliar place. Thank you so much for your care and accomodations.”

“Grace has been walking my two hyper and (sometimes) reactive dogs on hour long walks 1x per week. She’s been great with them, and they both warmed up to her so quickly!

Whether you need a trustworthy sitter while you're away or a reliable dog walker to brighten your pup’s day, I’m here to help.

I follow routines closely, keep communication open, and always put your pet’s safety and comfort first. My goal is to make your time away completely stress-free. I’m currently working remote part time, so excited to spend my time with dogs outdoors. Throughout the week, I plan my schedule around drop-ins and walks so each pet gets consistent, reliable care. I treat every visit as quality time, not just a task, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and seen. Pet care keeps me active, grounded, and genuinely brings joy into my day. In your home, I maintain your pet’s normal routine and environment. I follow your instructions carefully—feeding, walks, medications, crate routines, playtime, potty breaks, and any training cues you use. I keep the home secure, respect your space, and always leave everything clean and in order.

About: I have had a dog since I was in elementary school. I started taking care of dogs a few years ago after I got my mini golden doodle Winston. I have walked dogs, house sat, stayed overnight, and have done plenty of day visits. I pet sat for a lot of my neighbors and other nearby neighborhoods up until I moved at the end of October in 2019 to San Diego. I'm currently working part-time from home Monday-Friday, so my schedule is very flexible and I am able to go out frequently to visit your pet! I live in Solana Beach. It is a quiet area and there aren't a lot of cars/public people that pass through. I like walking on trails, going to the dog beach in Del Mar, or the park nearby.

About: I started dog walking and pet sitting 5 years ago. Desiring a dog of my own, my private yoga and Pilates clients started saying "watch mine!" and quickly I became booked for dog sitting most weekends and almost all summer. I grew up with horses and three dogs so I am very comfortable around animals of all kinds. A former Division I volleyball player, I'm active and love taking a daily walk or two listening to a podcast, so I might as well bring a dog along! I'm single and do not have children so my schedule is flexible. I do work in person in an office in Cardiff but am able to care for dogs before work, at lunch, and after work. My weekends are free. I do not care for pets in my own home but am happy to care for them in their own homes whether it is coming over for a visit or walk or dogsitting/catsitting and staying the night.
“Barbara did an awesome job walking polar opposite dogs-Chai a 14 year old, slow as molasses, in late stages of Heart Failure, and Penny, a high energy 2 year old. Barbara was attentive to their needs and honored all my requests. I felt instantly at ease upon meeting her and will definitely use Barabara again!”

About: Hello! My name is Kirk, and am a lifelong animal lover, experienced dog walker & pet sitter, trusted families throughout San Diego and North County. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, you’ve come to the right place. I grew up with Black Labs and multiple cats as a child and have been around dogs, cats and other pets my entire life. As an adult I’ve had six dogs and three cats of my own ranging from large, medium, and small breeds, which has given me a great understanding of different temperaments, energy levels, and care needs. About ten years ago I began pet sitting for friends and family, and over the past 6–8 years I’ve regularly cared for walked and pet sit for dogs and cats throughout the year. I’ve worked with playful high-energy dogs who need long walks, older pets who need patience and gentle care, and cats who appreciate a calm and attentive presence. I pride myself on being an attentive, dependable, and loving pet caregiver. When your pet is with me they receive extra attention, extra love, and extra care. I’m very mindful of safety, routines, and making sure each animal feels comfortable and secure. Whether that means walks, playtime, companionship, or simply being a calm and reassuring presence, I make sure your pet feels happy and well cared for. I also have many personal references here in San Diego from families whose pets I’ve cared for over the years, and I’m always happy to provide them. For me, this isn’t just a side job, I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, loved, and relaxed while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I enjoy building my schedule around providing reliable walks, visits, and care for animals. I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the attention and time they deserve. During the day I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, whether your pet needs a quick check-in, a longer walk, feeding, or some companionship while you're away. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine so they stay comfortable and relaxed. For dogs, walks are tailored to their energy level, some enjoy a brisk walk and exercise, while others prefer a slower, more relaxed stroll. For cats, visits include feeding, fresh water, litter box care, and spending time with them so they feel calm and cared for. I try to keep my calendar updated regularly and respond quickly to requests. My goal is to be dependable and make scheduling easy so you can feel confident that your pet will receive consistent, attentive care. When caring for your pet, my goal is to make the experience calm, safe, and enjoyable for them while giving you peace of mind while you're away. Every pet has their own personality and routine, and I do my best to follow the schedule and preferences you provide so your pet feels comfortable and secure. A typical visit or walk begins with a quick check-in to make sure your pet is happy, healthy, and relaxed. For dogs, this usually means a walk that matches their energy level, whether that’s a fun, active outing or a slower stroll around the neighborhood. After the walk, I make sure they have fresh water, settle them comfortably, and spend a little extra time giving attention or play if they enjoy it. For cats, visits include feeding, refreshing water, litter box care, and spending time with them in whatever way they prefer—some cats love playtime and attention, while others simply appreciate quiet companionship. I keep things clean, organized, and respectful of your home while I’m there. I also send updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing and feel confident they’re being well cared for. Above all, you can expect reliability, patience, and genuine care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and aim to make each visit positive, safe, and comforting for them.
About: Hello! I'm Charlie I've been working for over 12 years taking care of children and on occasion, pets. I'm hoping to add more animals to my life as I am going through nursing school, the stress relief and excuse to get outside that furry friends offer is immeasurable! I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs as an occasional sitter/walker and home co-habitant and have had a wonderful feisty cat for over 14 years. (She stays at home unless otherwise specified) I have the most experience with older dogs, and manage to win over even the most tentative of furry family members. (I'm also shy, so I attribute it to mutual awkwardness.) I have experience giving eye drops, disguising medications as treats (or convincing stubbon animals to take medication) and I am experienced in giving injections. I'm more comfortable and experienced with medium and larger dogs , cats of all sizes and temperaments (but i will not turn down the opportunity to make a small dog, bunny, scaley or feathered friend!) . I've experienced some mischievous puppy antics that have led to my finding out that I can keep level headed in an emergency. As I mentioned above, I work in childcare, so I have experience performing work unsupervised in other peoples' homes, am in nursing school (so background checks are no issue) and can provide necessary references if requested to ensure my trustworthiness. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have about me and my experience. Thank you. I'm currently in school part-time for my BSN while searching for new grad RN positions and helping out with a local nursing association. I have a very flexible schedule and can often work around your needs. I usually housesit In a client's home while they are away, but am open to drop-ins. I try and follow a furry friend's routine as closely as possible and if I can't on a day, I make sure that they always get enough potty breaks and adjust walks accordingly. I do tend to take the longest walks in the AM (30-45 min) + before bed (30-1 hr) with shorter 15-30 min "potty" walks during the day . I take into account their needs (feeding/medication/b&b evacuation times) & normal excursion times and my schedule and plan the week out in advance. Written instructions help me with daily tasks or pet personality quirks if they are more set in their ways. I'm happy to water plants, gather mail, take out trash and am comfortable communicating with vendors (repairment, pest control etc) if they need to visit when you are away. I treat the home better than I treat my own and aim to maintain (or exceed) the level of cleanliness that existed when I arrived. I'm not shy when it comes to vacuuming, laundering linens & pet bedding as needed while I am staying.

“Olivia and Sebastien were so great! This was the longest we’d ever left our dog Millie, but we got so many great pictures and videos we knew she was having a great time!! They were responsive, friendly, and had clear communication with us. They went above and beyond to make sure all Millie’s needs were met / special requests were followed. Their dog Zuko is also so great, Millie had a great time while we were away! Would recommend them to anyone.”
“Linda and Zach were great to Noodle!! They sent me photos, were extremely responsive and my pup was nice and tired from his stay. Would have them watch Noodle again! 😌”
“We left our Wheaten Terrier, Finn, with Linda for a week, and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. Linda, her husband, and Sammie took wonderful care of Finn and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Linda kept us updated throughout the week with messages and photos - it was clear that he was treated like part of the family. We can definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and attentive dog sitter.”
About: I’m a dog mom with many years of experience taking good care of pups of all ages and sizes. I work from home with an extremely friendly dog of my own so your dog will have company all day and night! I work fully remote with a flexible schedule. Your dog will always get a morning walk with mine, potty breaks whenever needed, and I can accommodate any feeding schedule. I’m available to provide daycare and board most weekdays and most weekends. I have a fenced backyard patio for potty breaks and time outside. Your pup will have free rein in the house with a doggy playmate. I generally do not crate or cage my dog when I’m out of the house, but can separate your pup as needed based on your requirements. I have cameras in my home for monitoring so I can always check what the pups are up to!
“Christy took great care of our elderly dog! She was able to handle giving her several medications twice a day and took her on walks. It seemed like our pup received lots of love and attention. We also got pictures and videos throughout her stay!”
“You can tell right away that Brooke is an amazing dog sitter - she asked great questions about Bonnie to make sure she was comfortable during her stay. I received super cute photos too! Will definitely book Brooke again, 10/10, 5 stars.”
“I wasn’t sure if our dog Fiona wanted to go back home with us! This is the sign that Michael and his family really gave Fiona the best care while we were away. She probably had more fun at Michael’s than she usually has at our house. Thank you Michael for taking care of her.”
About: With over 30 years of experience, I provide personalized care that prioritizes your pet’s comfort and happiness. What sets me apart is my focus on behavioral consistency and specialized attention for different life stages. I have extensive experience in puppy training support, using positive reinforcement to maintain your training goals, as well as providing gentle senior care for older pets who prefer a slower pace and extra companionship. Whether it’s high-energy playtime or calming cuddles, I tailor every visit to match your pet's unique personality and energy levels. My background as a professional photographer makes me a uniquely patient and observant pet sitter, as I am already trained to anticipate subtle body language and capture a pet's truest personality. I bring that same artistic eye and calm focus to my pet care, ensuring your "best friend" stays engaged and comfortable in their familiar routine. Because my 2026 photography schedule is flexible, I am now fully open for pet sitting and can offer the reliable, high-quality care your pets deserve. As a special bonus, you won't just get a safe and happy pet—you will also receive beautiful, high-quality "souvenir" photos of their daily adventures while you are away. In 2026, creating a safe and trustworthy environment for your pet is my highest priority. Whether I am caring for them in my home or yours, I begin every engagement with a thorough meet-and-greet to align on routines and tour the property for potential safety hazards. In your home, I strictly follow all security protocols, including locking gates, managing alarm codes, and ensuring hazardous items like cleaning supplies or loose cables are inaccessible. To build lasting trust, I maintain transparent communication by providing real-time updates and professional-quality photo check-ins throughout the day. My approach is designed to preserve your pet's familiar routine, reducing their stress while ensuring your home remains secure and respected in your absence.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and puppies my whole life. I love little dogs who cuddle all day all the way to big dogs who will hike and run with me to get some energy out. I’m currently in school from home full time so I have time to play with your pups or hang with them while I do my school work! I have a fenced in patio as well as room inside for dogs to play. I’m trustworthy, clean and hard working and can house sit dogs at their home if needed!
“Alix was awesome! I met her a few days before my trip and she was super friendly and kind. During Gilroy’s stay, I received many pictures of Gilroy and I knew he was in good hands. Thank you, Alix ?”
“Chewie had a great time with Khamsay and Amit. He was well taken care of with lots of walks. Khamsay sent lots of updates with photos and was so nice. Chewie can’t wait for his next stay with them.”
“Anna took great care of our dog PJ while we were on vacation. She is nice and thorough, and I could tell PJ was in great hands. My anxious dog needed a calm and understanding environment and she was able to provide that. Anna was able to follow the feeding and other instructions easily, and communicated with me daily, providing pictures and videos of PJ while we were away. I think PJ enjoyed his time so much with Anna because he wasn’t really excited to see me back! Thank you Anna for taking in my quirky PJ and providing for his needs while we were on vacation. 😊”
“Alina was an amazing sitter for our 80 lb lab! She was so professional, providing daily updates with photos and videos. Alina’s positive energy was genuine and it was clear our dog was very comfortable with her and her family. I highly recommend Alina!!”
“Very happy with our experience. Our dog had a great time with Ryan's family. Ryan was easy to communicate with and he was very accommodating when our travel plans changed unexpectedly at the last minute and we had to extend the boarding for a few days.”
About: Hi! My name is Magda. I moved to the U.S. from Poland five years ago, and animals have always been one of the biggest parts of my life. Sadly, my childhood dog recently passed away, and it reminded me just how much joy animals bring into my life. Right now I can’t have a dog of my own, so caring for other people’s pets means the world to me. I recently left my full-time job to focus on a new chapter where I can spend more time doing things that truly make me happy. Rover is more than just a side job for me—it’s a chance to connect with amazing animals while helping their owners feel completely at ease. I’m a very active person and usually walk at least two hours every day. Whether it’s long neighborhood walks, trips to the beach, parks, hiking trails, or simply relaxing at home, your dog will have plenty of attention, exercise, and love. If your pet enjoys cuddling on the couch or sleeping in bed, they’ll have plenty of affection from me too! Since moving to the U.S., I’ve lived in homes with pets almost the entire time until recently, so being around animals has always felt natural. I genuinely love getting to know every dog’s unique personality and making them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. One of my biggest dreams is to one day volunteer in Africa helping endangered wildlife, so caring for animals has become much more than a hobby—it’s something I’m deeply passionate about. As someone who’s still building a life and community here, I’d love to meet local families, build lasting relationships with both pets and their owners, and hopefully become the person you can count on whenever your furry family member needs care. I hope your dog and I get the chance to become great friends! I recently wuit my job and want to work fully remote. I want to focus more on my physical health that”s why i will have a lot of time to go for walks or run in the park. When i work on my computer i usually do it from the couch so doggy can count for a lot of cuddles. I live in a studio so your dog will be contantly watched. I have fenced backyard and most of the time will walk in a safe dog friendly areas. Dogs usually create quickly trust with me and i trust them so i do know how to act no matter if the dog is active or more calm
“Thank you for always taking such great care of Billie. Your dedication means so much! I also appreciate the detailed updates—it’s reassuring to know how Billie is doing and that he’s in such good hands.”
“Excellent service and communication. I booked less that 24 hour prior and Priscilla was available and relieved our stress. We will definitely work with her again! Thank you”
“Kris and family are incredibly friendly, warm, and welcoming, and made our dogs immediately comfortable in their home. She was very easy to communicate with keeping me up-to-date with messages and photos during their stay. We are happy we found a safe staycation for our dogs when we are away.”
