“Steph and Jen were amazing. This was Ollie’s 1st experience boarding at someone elses house. Ollie is a sweet but shy dog so didn’t know how he would react since we were gone for 5 days. He played well with Lexi and pictures of Olllie were sent daily. I am very satisfied and Ollie was well taken care of. I would have Steph and Jen watch Ollie in the future😊”
“Sheena was outstanding! Very communicative and took great care of our dog. Loved all of the photos she sent along the way. We felt very comfortable with her and our dog was happy when we arrived. If we need a sitter again, I will definitely see if she is available.”
“Brittany took great care of our dogs. One takes meds, and the other is super anxious. Both dogs were well cared for. Brittany walked them and kept us updated with texts and pictures. Highly recommended.”
“We left our 4 1/2 year old GoldenDoodle for the first time with someone other than our breeders. Tiantian was Wonderful with Denali. Thank you Tiantian for taking such great care with our boy. Daryl and Susan”
“Ayni and Alfonsus made a positive impression from the meet and greet. They’ve wanted to check if Chico would get along well with another dog they had committed with. This showed me how much they care for the pet wellbeing. Chico was in great care and I received frequent updates by video and photo along with messages. They were very transparent all the time during our communications and this gave me the confidence to already plan another booking with them. Thank you Ayni and Alfonsus!”
“Jody is so sweet and took such good care of Koda. He got lots of love from her and her family. When we picked him up he seemed like he didn’t even want to go home, he was enjoying it so much. She even washed his doggie bed.♥️ Jody’s location is perfect for us since we need to pass her house on the way to the airport. We will definitely choose Jody again to take care of our Koda.”
“Mariana was great with our puppy. She was responsive and very nice. We felt our girl was in great hands and we would consider Mariana in the future if we are ever in town again.”
“Rajarshi is absolutely amazing! He watched our dog like as if he was his own child! He sent us regular updates with pictures and videos of what our dog was doing during the day! Gave him 3-4 walks during the day, played with him and took such great care of him! We will always leave our dog with Rajarshi! Rajarshi’s background and experience in fostering dogs makes him one of the most experienced & well rounded pet sitter who you can trust blindfoldedly! I would say that anyone and everyone can trust him with their pets! I wish I could give him 10 stars ⭐️ but 5 is the maximum we can give so giving him 5 stars!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Ashley cared for our two dogs for an overnight stay and did an awesome job. She communicated well and sent photos of our pups having fun playing with the other dogs. We will definitely use her services again.”
“Erin and Ken were great hosts meeting our dog first for compatibility between their dog and our elderly blind dog. They have an enclosed yard for playing and sent us pictures. We didn't know it but our dog passed a week after returning home from heart failure.Recommended.”
“She took such amazing care of my dog! ❤️ From the moment we met, I knew my pup was in great hands. She was kind, reliable, and kept me updated, which gave me complete peace of mind. My dog was happy, well cared for, and clearly loved every minute. I’m so grateful and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“We were so thrilled to fund a great match with Neda for our Flynn. We boarded with Neda for an extended weekend, and she kept us updated with messages and pics throughout his stay. Thank you for welcoming him in to your home!”
“Mario was great! We needed a last minute dog sitter for our mini dachshund and he responded right away. He was kind and gave a quick recap when we picked up the dog. Highly recommend! Thank you, Mario!”
“Casey took wonderful care of my pup Reggie. She communicated throughout his overnight visit, sending photos and updates. Casey was quick to respond and was flexible to drop off and pick up times. My guy was happy and ready for a nap when I picked him up. I definitely recommend Casey.”
“Oli was able to accommodate my cat last minute while I was moving. My kitty tends to be nervous around new people and places, and Oli definitely helped her feel comfortable and safe (as evidenced by the cute pics she sent throughout her stay!). I’m super grateful to Oli and the care she gave my Josephine, highly highly recommend!! Her dog Benji is also a sweetheart :)”
“We were visiting Las Vegas and needed last‑minute care for our two elderly dogs, and Diane truly went above and beyond. Not only did she welcome both of our girls on short notice, she cared for them for four days during a week of extreme heat — something they wouldn’t have tolerated safely. This was our first time using Rover, and Diane made the entire experience feel easy and reassuring. She was wonderfully communicative from start to finish, sending updates and photos throughout their stay. One of our girls, Sherry, had an upset stomach, and Diane was so attentive and comforting, letting us know she was keeping a close eye on her. Her kindness allowed us to actually relax and enjoy our trip, knowing our dogs were in safe, loving hands. We are incredibly grateful for her care and hope to use her babysitting services again. Diane is truly a gem, and we can’t thank her enough.”
“Peace of mind. We contacted Paola to be the sitter of our 2 puppies while my wife is attending a 3 day conference in Las Vegas. We completely have a peace knowing that Paola have the heart and kindness taking care of our puppies. She keep us posted with photos of our puppies and how they were doing. She provided a home for them and a peace of mine for us. Excellent service and highly recommended!”
“Would 100% rebook with Siobhan! Took incredible care of my pug, was super quick to respond and sent me updates so I didn’t worry once. Would give 10 stars if it let me!”
“Nancy is amazing, and Roxy is the sweetest! My boy dog is very anxious and usually takes a long time to warm up to new people, but Nancy has such a calming presence and truly has the magic touch. She made him feel safe, comfortable, and at home so quickly. Within hours, Nancy was updating me on his progress and sending pictures and videos, which brought me so much comfort and peace of mind. Her attention to detail and level of care are unmatched. She made sure Dale stayed on his feeding and toileting schedule exactly as instructed and took the time to ensure he was well cared for every step of the way. I’m also so grateful to Roxy for helping teach Dale the ropes and for being patient and willing to share her parents and toys with him while still keeping him accountable to the house rules. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”

“I don’t know what I would do without Kaleigh! I don’t know how I would be able to travel! I know my kitties are always in good hands with her. I love her little daily updates when she checks on my two cats. I would give 100 stars if I could!!”
“Great sitter! We were very nervous about leaving our cats with a sitter for the first time but had a great experience with Kristina. Good communication, followed all directions, and even got our very shy cat to come out of hiding. Will definitely be booking again for our next trip.”
About: I adore cats, mostly because of their unique personalities. I understand that each cat has their own special preferences and attitudes and I respect that. I will love your cat up close or from afar, whichever they prefer!
“Jennifer was great! She played with the dogs during the visits and sent plenty of pictures of their happy faces. It really helped to see that our fur babies were in good hands while we were away for the weekend. Will be booking with her again in the future!”
“Michelle took great care of my kitties! We came back to them in such great spirits they probably didn’t miss us at all! She spent plenty of time playing and giving them affection.”
About: Dog, cat, parrot and fish owner for 10+ years (and a couple frogs as well 🐸 ) Patient and attentive, I want to give your animals the love they deserve while you’re away!! I work full time, so am available for drop ins and walks in the late afternoon/evenings and weekends! Happy to book last minute to meet your needs:) I am attentive and prioritize my animals’ comfort and safety, and pay close attention to the needs they are communicating. Your baby will be well cared for, the way I’d treat my own 🥰
“Melissa did a terrific job cat sitting for us, providing daily medication and managing a complicated feline diet. She even took the trash out to the curb and back again. We felt very comfortable with our kitties in her kind and experienced hands!”
About: I have my own cst at home. She the best thing ever! I used to babysit my uncles cats. And also he has stray cats in his backyard that I would feed and pet! I love all kitty’s and would love to spend and get to know yours!
About: I have a huge soft spot for cats and understand their unique personalities and boundaries. I adopted a sweet senior Ragdoll named Stanley when he was 9 and cared for him until he was 14. Because Stanley had no teeth, he required specialized feeding routines, soft-food preparation, and gentle, attentive senior care. Whether your cat is super affectionate and wants lap time, or independent and just needs a calm presence, fresh food/water, and a clean litter box, I’ll follow your exact instructions to keep them comfortable and stress-free in their own space.
“Kathleen arrived on time, devoted the full half hour to Kalea. Our dog is nervous having recently had surgery and is in pain. Kalea opened up, trusting Kathleen. She was able to get massaging and some deeper rubs even some prom moves.”
“Cameron took care of our cat, Luna, in our house, during our 3-day weekend trip. Not only did Cameron followed written directions, but she remembered other things I mentioned during a brief visit she made to meet Luna and see what she needed to do, such as leaving the windows open to allow Luna to watch the outdoors. She was on time for every visit, added comments and photos, all of which helped us feel much better to have left our cat behind, alone, for the first time in 8 years. We recommend Cameron and will certainly hire her when we have to go out of town again.”
“Maureen saved the day! I had to leave my kitty for 2 weeks and couldn't have asked for a more attentive sitter. The daily updates and pictures reassured me he was in good hands. Definitely will be using her again.”
About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and volunteered with Ventura County Animal Services for about three years. Since 2019, I’ve cared for pets through drop-in visits, overnight house sitting, and in-home pet care. I have two cats of my own, so I’m comfortable caring for cats of all ages and personalities. Whether your cat is playful, shy, or prefers their own space, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and love while you’re away.

“Nancy was very nice and sweet to our babies. Soon after we left them, the photos showed them already very comfortable. When we picked them up, they were relaxed and not in a hurry to leave. 😄We will definitely book Nancy again when we are in the area.”
“My dog has loved the experience of being taken care of by Tiantian and her loving dog Ivan. We continue to have daycare with her since everytime we go to drop him, he is overly excited to go and start playing with her dog. Appreciate her great care!”
“My dog loves Marianna he get so happy coming to her place. She take such good care of him. His happiness says it all. If anyone is looking for a dog sitter Marianna’s is the best place to leave your dog. Thank you so much 😊”
“Maureen is so great with Willy. She showers him with so much love and affection and he is in love with her. We couldn’t ask for a better caretaker for our special boy! Thank you Maureen!”
“My boys LOVED spending the day with him! I knew the moment I picked them up, because they were happy to see me, but not desperate. (Happy like you'd expect after a walk, instead of desperate like you'd expect after a grooming.) If I ever need dog sitting in the area again, I'm absolutely bringing them back!”
“Marie was very nice and accommodating when it came to booking. She also sends pictures and updates about my dog Toby which made me feel comfortable. I’ve never left Toby with anyone else and I can easily tell Toby was happy with her. This made me happy because Toby is skeptical with certain people, but he enjoyed being with Marie. Definitely booking anytime I need a sitter!😊”
“Brittany is great! We had never used a sitter or taken our dog to doggy daycare before so we were a little nervous, but Brittany responded quickly, sent multiple pictures throughout the day, and our dog loved her. Will definitely book with her again!”
“Alice was great! She was attentive and very responsive while our pup Mimi was in her care. We plan to book with her again and we would recommend her to anyone! :)”
About: I have three beautiful well behaved dogs and we go to Dogpark or on walks every day. I have a huge yard and the dogs have free reign. Nothing sounds more fun than hanging out with more dogs!! I am currently working part time and would like to fill the rest of my time taking care of dogs. I am very good with dogs and they seem to like me as well. Probably because I take the time to spend with them. I have plenty of space and friendly dogs that love to play. I would want to meet your dog as well as you and make sure we all get along. I go to the dogpark almost every day and would be happy to meet you and your dog and introduce you to my pack.
About: Because of my career in the field of applied behavior analysis, I have a deep understanding of pet behavior. I am great at learning new skills and approaches. I find that this helps me tailor my skillset for each furry friend entrusted to my care. I work remotely and my schedule is pretty flexible so I can care for my dog and yours. This flexibility allows me to consider pet care easily in my schedule. I have a fenced yard for sun bathing. I understand that having your doggy’s best friend gone is stressful enough so I understand the importance to abide by your personal routines and particular tasks that may sound silly to someone else.
About: Hi! I have a year and 3 months old orange tabbies. I watched all videos on YouTube, my favorite is Jackson Galaxy :) me and my boyfriend are absolutely in love with our cats and want to have an opportunity to meet other cats and dogs to share the joy of life. Me and my boyfriend work from home, my schedule is flexible during the week and on weekends. Available on a short notice. Holidays are also available. We have plenty of space available, depending on the character and personality of pets they can hang out together or have their own safe space.
About: I have a decade worth of experience caring for my babies. I’ve been referred as an animal whisperer, so I take first impressions very seriously. I am home 24/7, so you can trust that your babies are being attended to during their visit. That also means my schedule is very flexible and I am open to unique situations as well. My babies freely roam my home, but are very disciplined. They’re taken potty/walked ideally every 2 hours. Whatever my client needs, I will make sure I do my upmost to make it happen.
About: I’ve been around and caring for dogs for years, and being a dog mom myself has taught me how much love, patience, attention, and responsibility goes into caring for a pet. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog’s individual routine and personality. I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, cuddles, medication routines, and keeping your pup comfortable while you’re away. My goal is for every dog in my care to feel safe, loved, and right at home. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be home and available throughout the day. I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I’m especially happy to accommodate your dog’s normal routine and make sure they receive the same consistency and care they’re used to at home. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I treat every dog like they are part of my own family and understand how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby. I provide a loving, calm, supervised environment and will follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, routines, and any special needs\. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pup is happy, safe, and being well cared for.
“Jana is truly a dog lover and my dog could tell! She absolutely loves Jana! Jana is an amazing dog sitter! She took care of Lele like we would! She took her on 3 walks in one day! Lele’s a Golden Doodle and high energy so she loved it! She’s snoring on the couch now! You can honestly trust Jana with your beloved pups! She’s the absolute best! ❤️”
“Words cannot express how wonderful Richard and Mystique are and the loving care they provide for our high energy puppy. They treat him like family, and he gives them hugs and kisses during daycare drop off. They also take the time to give our puppy leash training on walks. Absolutely recommend Richard and Mystique.”
About: My life has always been centered around animals. From the age of nine, I’ve been a dedicated pet owner, consistently sharing my home with both dogs and cats. A Lifetime of Compassionate Care: My extensive, lifelong experience covers a wide range of needs. I recently cared for my own beloved senior dog through age-related health issues, providing me with intimate and patient experience in senior pet care, including managing specialized needs and medication. Over the years, I've been the go-to sitter for family and friends, looking after their pets with the same dedication I give my own. This, combined with my prior volunteer work at local animal shelters, has given me a deep understanding of animal behavior and welfare. I approach pet sitting not just as a service, but as a commitment to ensuring your furry family member feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I work part-time from home, which means I am present most of the day, ensuring constant supervision and a predictable, secure routine. I'm available seven days a week to provide reliable and loving care for your furry family member. I live in a comfortable, clean apartment that is free of other pets and children, ensuring a calm and focused environment for your dog. While I don't have a private yard, we have immediate access to open fields and a walking trail right nearby. We enjoy daily walks and adventures on the trails for exercise and stimulation!
“Elaine and Marty have given me peace of mind while traveling for work or pleasure. I know Zoey is home away from home with her daily routine and the love she receives. I am guilt free leaving here there and words cannot express my gratitude to Elaine and Marty.”

About: Hello. My name is Veronica. I live close to Pleasant Valley High School in Camarillo. I took a break from dog sitting, walking, etc. the past several years as my job required me to be out of town in office on several days. My office work has since changed. I now work only part time (gradually easing into retirement) and work remotely from home. When my beloved Dexter passed away, I rescued my current dog, Dakota. Unfortunately, due to his traumatic start in life, he does not get along with other dogs; therefore, I can no longer watch other pet parents' dogs in my home nor can I stay overnight in their homes. However, I am available to dogsit during the day in your home and also walk your fur babies. I do love to be outdoors. I am an enthusiastic animal lover (the reason for my vegetarian lifestyle). I especially love dogs. I am very active. I regularly hike trails and walk daily. I will text or e-mail you constant updates including photos of your loved one(s) while in my care. About this sitter: I am a passionate animal lover.......the reason I am a vegetarian. I especially love dogs and could not imagine life without at least one dog in my family. I love being outdoors and lead a very active lifestyle.....canyon hikes, beach walks, and neighborhood walks/jogs. My current best friend, Dakota certainly keeps me moving! I have had at least two dogs in my family my entire life....and as many as four dogs for many years. My last two senior dogs passed away several years ago, leaving me with only one dog, my Boxer, Dexter, who then passed away almost 3 years ago due to advanced heart failure at age 11. Within a month later, I rescued Dakota, a labrador. I couldn't imagine my home without at least one dog sharing it with me.
“Kathleen cared for my elderly pitiful 2-3 times a day for over a month after it had surgery. She was very reliable, communicative and great with following postponed instructions and caring for our dog.”
“Trevor took excellent care of our 75lbs dog while we were away. He kept her food and water bowls full, gave her meds daily and took her on 2 big walks a day. Would definitely contact him again the next time we need someone to take care of our dog!”
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life and have my fair share of experience with a wide range of animals. I love all kinds of pets, creatures, critters, you name it! I believe all pets deserved to be treated with love and care. I helped raise our family puppies growing up, so I am familiar with potty training and kennel and leash training. I am familiar with strict regimes and medication application if needed. I also am quite strong (not to toot my own horn) but if needed, I am comfortable lifting geriatric dogs no greater than 80lbs. Hi, my name is Maddi and I’m a lifelong animal lover with a special place in my heart for dogs. I’m 27 and grew up in San Clemente, CA, where my family and I always had our labs by our side whether it was at the beach, on a hike, or camping under the stars. I am free in the mornings and afternoons for walks, and can squeeze in a beach day if your pets likes to go swimming! My work schedule is dynamic, but for most given days I can dedicate two-three hours for walks, cuddles, whatever else you could need. As an active, outdoorsy person, I know the importance of keeping pets happy, healthy, and engaged. I have hands on experience caring for dogs, cats, and rabbits, and I treat every animal like my own, showering them with love, attention, and plenty of playtime. Whether it’s a walk, a cuddle session, or a weekend of pet sitting, I’m dedicated to making sure your pets feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away. I am familiar and have experience training my family puppies, so if needed I can stick with a strict regimen. I will treat your pet with the utmost caution when it comes to walking in public/neighborhoods. I respect that not all dogs/animals are friendly but deserve to be outside as well, so I tend to walk on the opposite side of the street when passing another pet or person. I am also familiar with socialization and reading dog's social behaviors. At home, I make sure to double check that all exists are secured before I leave and that the house is locked before heading out. While I am indoors with pets, I will give them my undivided attention and love, as well as making sure they are well fed and have plenty of water for when they will be left alone. I will do whatever necessary to make sure that you and your pet feel safe and secure, and most of all happy!
About: I’ve owned and taken care of dogs and cats for the last 14 years. Most pets I’ve cared for at one time is 4, 2 cats & 2 dogs. I enjoy seeing pets healthy and happy! I have a flexible work schedule and can likely accommodate any day and time. I do work full time but can easily step away if necessary. I give each pet their own experience depending on their needs. I’m active and can take energetic animals for long walks or can provide cuddles and love for the more affectionate ones.
“We LOVE Randi!!! She takes great care of Ruda, even taking her to play at her house with her dogs before it after her walk, if I want. But she always walks her, which she needs for exercise, not just babysits. We couldn't be happier. She is walking her twice a week. I wish I'd found her sooner!”
“I’ve been using Nancy for my pets for years so I was really excited when she joined Rover. She’s very reliable and I trust her wholeheartedly with my pets to know that what I ask will be done right the first time! My dog and cat both adore her and get so excited when she comes over!”
“Thanks so much for accommodating our very last minute request. Jennifer was on time and walked her for the whole 30 mins.Freya was super tired when she got back and we were so glad to be able to get her that walk while we were busy. She went straight to her mini pool to cool off!”
“This was the second time I had Sierra review my dog, Bodhi. She was on time, came on short notice, and sent a pic of my dog chilling on his blanket. Very happy with her service and would recommend her to anyone.”

About: Hi there! My passion for dogs began in childhood with our beloved family pup, and it’s only grown stronger over the years. As an adult, I dedicated over 10 years volunteering with L.I.F.E Animal Rescue, where I had the joy of helping countless animals find loving homes. Every dog I’ve ever had has been a rescue, and I currently share my life with a spirited three-legged little guy I rescued more than 12 years ago. He’s a daily reminder of the resilience and love dogs bring into our lives. During the week, I work at the Getty Conservation Institute, but in my free time, I’m eager to spend more time doing what I love—caring for dogs. Whether it’s a brisk walk, a gentle stroll, or just some good company, I look forward to meeting your best furry friend and giving them the attention and care they deserve. I'm currently working full time at the Getty. I am available Friday, Saturdays and Sundays all day for special walks or checks ins when needed. Safety and attentiveness are at the heart of how I care for animals. During my 10 years volunteering with L.I.F.E Animal Rescue, I followed strict protocols for walking and handling dogs, always prioritizing their well-being and comfort. At home, I’m just as cautious—I’m always aware of where my dog is, and I make sure doors and gates are securely closed to keep him safe
About: Hi! I'm Gabby, a recent CSU Channel Islands graduate with a B. A. in Psychology. I'll be starting my Master's in Counseling Psychology (MFT emphasis) at California Lutheran University this fall. I'm currently looking for part-time dog walking, dog boarding, and drop-in visits that work well with my graduate school schedule. I've loved animals my whole life and began volunteering with Ventura County Animal Services as soon as I turned 18, where I volunteered for about three years. I also started pet sitting in 2019 and have experience with dog walking, drop-in visits, overnight house and pet sitting, and boarding dogs in my home. I have two female Labradoodles and two cats, so any dogs staying in my home must be friendly with both dogs and cats. I'm comfortable caring for pets overnight and always strive to make them feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away! Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule while I’m in graduate school, so I’m available for daytime and overnight boarding any day of the week, as well as dog walking and drop-in visits. Since I have pets of my own, caring for animals is already a big part of my everyday life, and I enjoy making sure every pet gets the attention, exercise, and love they need while their owners are away. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My two Labradoodles are indoor dogs, but they have access to a large, securely fenced yard where I let them out throughout the day to run, play, and get plenty of exercise. I don’t have a doggie door because my two cats are indoor-only, so all outdoor time is supervised. My dogs are very friendly and love meeting new dog friends, and my cats are comfortable around dogs, so I only board pets that are friendly with both dogs and cats. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and lots of love and attention. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being. At night, my pets have their own comfortable sleeping routines. My older Labradoodle sleeps with my parents, and my younger Labradoodle sleeps with me. Any dog boarding in my home is welcome to sleep in my room if that helps them feel more comfortable, or I’m happy to follow whatever routine works best for them and their owner, such as sleeping in a crate or their own designated sleeping space.
About: I have been a pet sitter since I was in middle school and have had the pleasure and opportunity to care for many different furry companions! I am no stranger to administering medications and have pet-sat many different dogs and cats of all sizes and shapes! I have no issue caring for cats and/or dogs that have any sort of deformities, amputations, or just look weird and funky in general. A dog is still a dog and a cat is still a cat, and every pet deserves love regardless of what they look like! I am currently a college student who loves caring for all kinds of fur babies! You can be sure I will have plenty of time to play with your pups and kittens to their hearts’ content! I’m still getting used to how this app works with its settings, so if you have any questions about pricing and scheduling, shoot me a text so we can discuss it! I'm willing to talk things out if you can't initially afford my rates! ¡También soy fluida en español! My clients will always receive the best care that I can give them. Every animal is different and has different needs, and I am prepared to meet them all! I'll be sure to send pictures and videos regularly of me and your pet(s) having a great time! I'm willing to protect your pet(s) as fiercely as you are, and I will happily administer medications and clean up messes! I take great pleasure and honor in making your best furry friends feel as safe and loved as they would if you were there!
About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 16, so I have years of experience with animals of all ages and personalities, from energetic puppies and playful kittens to older pets who need extra patience and love. I currently have two dogs and a cat, and I’ve raised them since they were young, so I understand the attention, training, and care every animal needs. I’m an athlete and love going on walks, so I can keep up with high-energy dogs or take long, leisurely strolls with older pets. I’m also comfortable handling feisty or shy pets, and I always focus on building trust, keeping pets safe, and making sure they feel happy and loved while their owners are away. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, or just companionship, I treat every animal like family and adapt to their unique personality and needs. I’m willing to go the extra mile (literally and figuratively) to make sure your pets feel cared for, safe, and comfortable. I just finished school and currently work as a waitress for about 4 hours a day, which leaves me with plenty of free time. I’m looking to spend those off-hours doing something I genuinely love caring for pets. My schedule is really flexible, so I’m able to fit in walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the day and week. Whether you need regular visits or last-minute help, I’m happy to make it work around my shifts. When I’m caring for pets in my client’s home, I follow their routine as closely as possible so their pet feels safe and comfortable. I stick to feeding schedules, walk times, playtime, and any special instructions you leave. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality whether they’re playful, shy, or extra cuddly and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and reassurance while you’re away. I also respect your space by keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly how you left it. When caring for pets in my own home, I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can play and explore safely. My dogs are kept in my garage during visits so your dog has full freedom to roam in the yard or, if they are an indoor dog, stay inside the house comfortably. I already have two dogs and a cat, so I’m used to managing different personalities and making sure everyone feels safe and happy. Walks, playtime, and lots of love are always part of the day. No matter where your pet is, my goal is always the same: to keep them safe, happy, and loved just like they’re part of my own family.
“Cameron is great with my giant puppy! He’s a lovebug, but has no idea he weighs 160lbs. He can be slobbery and can be a lot. She’s very comfortable with big breeds. I will definitely be using her again.”
“Curt is awesome, both our dogs took to him immediately, and I had zero worries about them while we were away! I appreciate Curt’s “can do” attitude—such a relief because many part-time dog walkers have schedules that are super limited. Plus, he has a great sense of humor!”
About: Does your dog like casual strolls through parks? Me too! Do they like going to beach and dipping in the ocean? Me too! Or do they like snuggling on couch and watching Gardeners World & Northern Exposure??? Me too!!! Let’s be friends!!! 🥹❤️ I have had dogs and cats and other pets mostly my whole life. I have a lot experience caring for friends and family dogs, such as Labradors, German Shepherds, Rottweilers, Chihuahuas, Chow-chows, Bichons, Mastiffs, and other mixes. Now that I currently have free time, I would love to care for yours. I have lived with roommates with dogs from Bulldogs, Pitt-bulls, Boxers to Pomeranians. I worked and lived many years on a farm where taking care of three Rottweiler farm dogs at the same time was part of the job description. It did not seem like work at all, because farm life with dogs is absolute bliss. I have an interest in learning about the holistic approach when caring for my dog. I want her to have the most optimal life in the most natural way. I admire Juliette De Baïracli Levy a lot and am currently learning about her work with animals. My approach is friendly yet stern enough for the big furry friends. I love big dogs as I have had lifelong friendships/experience with many Rottweilers and an entire littler of Labradors who are now Seniors. When I was caring for the dogs on the farm, two Rottweilers came as puppies while I was caring for another who was middle to eventually Senior. I would give the Senior medicine. And eventually one of the puppies grew up and got sick and needed medicine too. I believe the Rottweiler is my spirit animal for they always magically show up in my life. <3 My current dog is a big German Shepherd Cattle dog mix, sweetie girl. She is two years old and acts like a big puppy. She is curious with high energy. She is very cute and smart so she tries to test limits, but overall thrives to be a good girl. It makes me proud when I get positive feedback from those that meet her. I am currently working part time as well as studying which allows me to very easily fit in pet care every day in my routine. I am currently unable to share my home for boarding care. I’d be happy to care for them if they need someone present for overnight stays.

“Sheena was outstanding! Very communicative and took great care of our dog. Loved all of the photos she sent along the way. We felt very comfortable with her and our dog was happy when we arrived. If we need a sitter again, I will definitely see if she is available.”
“We left our 4 1/2 year old GoldenDoodle for the first time with someone other than our breeders. Tiantian was Wonderful with Denali. Thank you Tiantian for taking such great care with our boy. Daryl and Susan”
“Jody is so sweet and took such good care of Koda. He got lots of love from her and her family. When we picked him up he seemed like he didn’t even want to go home, he was enjoying it so much. She even washed his doggie bed.♥️ Jody’s location is perfect for us since we need to pass her house on the way to the airport. We will definitely choose Jody again to take care of our Koda.”
“Rajarshi is absolutely amazing! He watched our dog like as if he was his own child! He sent us regular updates with pictures and videos of what our dog was doing during the day! Gave him 3-4 walks during the day, played with him and took such great care of him! We will always leave our dog with Rajarshi! Rajarshi’s background and experience in fostering dogs makes him one of the most experienced & well rounded pet sitter who you can trust blindfoldedly! I would say that anyone and everyone can trust him with their pets! I wish I could give him 10 stars ⭐️ but 5 is the maximum we can give so giving him 5 stars!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Ashley cared for our two dogs for an overnight stay and did an awesome job. She communicated well and sent photos of our pups having fun playing with the other dogs. We will definitely use her services again.”
“Erin and Ken were great hosts meeting our dog first for compatibility between their dog and our elderly blind dog. They have an enclosed yard for playing and sent us pictures. We didn't know it but our dog passed a week after returning home from heart failure.Recommended.”
“We were so thrilled to fund a great match with Neda for our Flynn. We boarded with Neda for an extended weekend, and she kept us updated with messages and pics throughout his stay. Thank you for welcoming him in to your home!”
“We were visiting Las Vegas and needed last‑minute care for our two elderly dogs, and Diane truly went above and beyond. Not only did she welcome both of our girls on short notice, she cared for them for four days during a week of extreme heat — something they wouldn’t have tolerated safely. This was our first time using Rover, and Diane made the entire experience feel easy and reassuring. She was wonderfully communicative from start to finish, sending updates and photos throughout their stay. One of our girls, Sherry, had an upset stomach, and Diane was so attentive and comforting, letting us know she was keeping a close eye on her. Her kindness allowed us to actually relax and enjoy our trip, knowing our dogs were in safe, loving hands. We are incredibly grateful for her care and hope to use her babysitting services again. Diane is truly a gem, and we can’t thank her enough.”
“Nancy is amazing, and Roxy is the sweetest! My boy dog is very anxious and usually takes a long time to warm up to new people, but Nancy has such a calming presence and truly has the magic touch. She made him feel safe, comfortable, and at home so quickly. Within hours, Nancy was updating me on his progress and sending pictures and videos, which brought me so much comfort and peace of mind. Her attention to detail and level of care are unmatched. She made sure Dale stayed on his feeding and toileting schedule exactly as instructed and took the time to ensure he was well cared for every step of the way. I’m also so grateful to Roxy for helping teach Dale the ropes and for being patient and willing to share her parents and toys with him while still keeping him accountable to the house rules. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”
“We had a wonderful experience and would give more than 5 stars if we could! Our dog was so comfortable and happy during her stay, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Communication was excellent throughout our trip - we received regular updates and felt confident that our dog was well cared for. It’s clear they genuinely love animals and provide a safe, welcoming environment. We would happily book with them again and highly recommend to other pet parents!”
“Erika was fantastic! She was willing to take on a mischievous puppy when no one else wanted her. She took her on outings and had faith in her. I believe Marley came home better behaved. I will definitely use Erika again. Plus she was super responsive whenever we contacted her.”
“We had a great experience with Jenna. She is a great communicator and sent updates on our dog. Ours dog has a couple of health issues and she was very attentive to those details. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog and couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend!”
“Andrew and Karrie were wonderful.This was my first time putting my dog here. They showed me around and helped me and my dog feel comfortable. When I dropped off my dog Andrew and Karrie took her in. They gave me some updates throughout the day and sent me several pictures. When I picked up my dog she looked happy and well cared for. It was great experience. I will definitely be bringing my dog back here.”
About: Because of my career in the field of applied behavior analysis, I have a deep understanding of pet behavior. I am great at learning new skills and approaches. I find that this helps me tailor my skillset for each furry friend entrusted to my care. I work remotely and my schedule is pretty flexible so I can care for my dog and yours. This flexibility allows me to consider pet care easily in my schedule. I have a fenced yard for sun bathing. I understand that having your doggy’s best friend gone is stressful enough so I understand the importance to abide by your personal routines and particular tasks that may sound silly to someone else.
“Jana loves dogs, even the big ones, and it’s obvious. She is very loving and caring with them. She is organized and proactive about their needs. She did a wonderful job with my pups :)”
“Steph was great! She kept us updated on how Finley was doing, and provided pictures of their walks and activities. I think Finley really enjoyed his time with Steph & Willow. We hope to use her again in the future.”
“I had never boarded Oliver before, but Chase made us all - dog and humans - feel comfortable and confident right off the bat. He's got a great setup, a great schedule, and a great calm demeanor my dog instantly appreciated. We will definitely be back!”
