“Michael took very good care of my 10 week old Lab. Such a short notice to. I am very greatfull and will use his service any other time that we might need. Thank you Michael! 😊”
“Angelica is the absolute best! Our pup loves when she sits for us. She leaves an excited puppy and returns home a happy puppy! We feel blessed to have found Angelica for our puppy to stay with when we travel. She’s truly so wonderful!”
“Jing was wonderful with Melon. She took very good care of Melon and took her on several walks a day. Jing sent me updates throughout the day and I received lots of pictures. I highly recommend!!!”
“Elva was so amazing with our babies! She kept us updated with all the fun they were having without us ever needing to check in. Loved that she was just a natural at noticing all our dogs funny quirks and enjoyed their company. Appreciate you Elva!!”
“I highly recommend Janice! She sends frequent updates so you know your pet is doing well. It was very clear by the videos she sent that my dog was feeling very comfortable, as she was acting playful and silly, which she only does if she truly trusts someone. I was able to relax on my trip knowing my dog was happy and well cared for! Thank you Janice!”
“We love having Catherine, Albert, and Trace take care of Walter. They treat Walter like family and share all of their toys with him. We get regular updates and never have to ask them how Walter is doing. Their backyard is absolutely beautiful and dog friendly. They take our dog on strolls around town and play fetch regularly as if he is their own. I can’t say enough about how great they are and how comfortable we are leaving Walter with them. My husband especially loves the report cards Walter gets after his stay.”
“We booked Hilary last minute because our usual sitter became unavailable. We had a trip to Italy planned, and I was so stressed to leave Pebbles somewhere new while being out of the country, but HILARY WAS AMAZING!! We fell in love with the way she cared for Pebbles instantly. She had no problem with her feeding times, walks, crate needs, and even eye medication. She sent us SO MANY fun and cute pictures of Pebbles while we were out of the country that I felt super reassured. She was flexible with the pick up time (we know how LAX can be), and even willing to take an additional emergency contact while we were out of country. Honestly, we couldn’t have asked for anyone kinder, more loving, or more communicative. I will definitely request her again, and I am so glad Pebbles found a temporary home there. Thank you for everything!”
“I have a shy, elderly dog that struggles with anxiety, so leaving Corsage with a new sitter is stressful for both of us. With that in mind, I can not recommend Rika highly enough! She was so attentive to every little detail about Corsage and was so careful with her schedule, food, playtime, walks, and weird little quirks. She also sent me consistent, detailed updates every day and I could tell by what she told me that Corsage felt safe and comfortable. After just 2 days of vacation, I no longer worried about Corsage being ok. When I picked her up, she seemed genuinely sad to leave Rika but when she got home she was so happy and relaxed. You really can't ask for more!”
“Lisa and family are so great with Mango and she always loves to board with them and whichever other dogs they’re sitting. It’s so fun for her to be part of the gang over there”
“Yuhong is the best! She does as she says and provided the best care for our English Bulldog during a weekend getaway. She maintained constant communication and provided updates with pictures which my family and I appreciated. My family and I are grateful to Yuhong and husband for treating Cookie like family.”
“I was searching all over for the best pet care provider I could find and I found Ali on Rover! She was amazing! She took pictures every day and sent me updates every day. My little Cece was so happy over there that when she came home, I think she already missed her! I would absolutely use Ali again. I highly recommend her for her professional attitude and her loving heart. She took the best care of my little baby that anyone ever could have! Thank you, Ali!!!!!!🐾💖🐾”
“If you are looking for a spectacular sitter, hire Steven! He went above and beyond for our pup, keeping us posted every step of the way with great photos. Our dog has separation anxiety, but Steven handled it flawlessly by dedicating lots of quality time to him and taking him on frequent daily walks. We couldn't have asked for better peace of mind. Highly recommended!”
“We made a last-minute booking with Albina to care for our dog because our original sitter cancelled on us. She was very responsive and sent photo updates of our dog daily. I could tell that he was very loved. She even sent him home with some homemade dog treats! We were overall happy with our experience and will use Albina again.”
“Eva gave my very anxious pouch all the extra TLC I could hope for. Eva kept in constant communication when necessary and sent us adorable updates and photos. Couldn't recommend her more highly”
“We hadn’t taken an overseas vacation in over five years because it’s always been so hard for us to leave our dogs, and honestly, we struggled to find someone we truly trusted. But after our meet and greet with Janelle and Alvin, I immediately felt at ease and knew our babies would be in great hands. I’m so happy to say that instinct was absolutely right. They took care of our two dogs for two days, and the entire experience was seamless. Janelle was incredible with communication! She sent updates and photos regularly without me ever needing to ask, which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. Both Janelle and Alvin have such a calm, kind demeanor, and their home is clean, cozy, and clearly a safe space for pets. One of our dogs is usually very anxious and slow to warm up to new people, but he surprised us by opening up to them right away. That alone speaks volumes. I can’t recommend them enough, and we will absolutely be booking with them again in the future! Thank you Janelle and Alvin for taking such good care of our babies!”
“We love leaving Pebbles with them! They are kind, understanding, and communicative. We have now left Pebbles with them 4 times, and they are always our number one choice. 100% recommend!”
“Joe loves dogs. He sent several pictures and videos during my puppy's stay. I was relieved to see she was having fun and playing with one of Joe's dogs. I did get a little jealous to see her napping on his lap though. He assured me that she was eating and enjoying herself. This allowed me to enjoy my vacation more. She came home exhausted and slept for most of the following day. I trust Joe and was comfortable leaving my puppy with him for a couple of days.”

“We were pleased to find Joy to do daily drop in visits for our cat while on a long trip. Our cat seemed to feel comfortable with Joy almost immediately and she greeted her similarly to us whenever Joy visited. She followed our instructions well and helped us with a variety of tasks including cleaning vomit, bringing in packages, and watering plants. Thank you for taking care of our cat so well!”
“Sydney was amazing with my boy, Winston! She was communicative and responsive. She went above and beyond in caring for Winston when he had a hairball. She will be my go to sitter for when I’m out of town!”
“Jessica took care of my cat Melody with the most care and affection despite how Melody can be shy and troublesome without her mom. I have had Jessica taking care of Melody for a few trips now and I'm always relieved to know that Melody is in good hands when I'm gone. I enjoy communicating with her about my cat's status and updates, as well as giving instructions where needed. I would not hesitate at all to book Jessica again! Thank you for caring for Melody.”
“Narin was great to work with! She was super attentive to our two cats and their unique personalities. She was quick to respond to us, and communicated the entire duration of her booking. She made us feel comfortable and put our minds at ease while being away. Narin did all that we asked of her, but also went above and beyond to ensure that any unforeseen issues were addressed. She was even kind enough to water our plants too! I would definitely recommend her to anyone interested and would book her again! Thank you Narin for your caring approach to cat sitting.”
“Emily did such a great job taking care of our two cats for a weekend trip so we decided to book her for a recent week-long trip too. Once again she was on-time and very communicative, taking the time to play with both cats in addition to feeding them and scooping the litter box. She shared lots of adorable photos which helped ease our separation anxiety. We will definitely be continuing to look to her for our future trips!”
“Hannah is great with my very particular elderly cat! He can have anxiety-induced “accidents” when I’m gone, but since Hannah has started watching him while I’m away, he seems calm and happy when I return. I appreciate how communicative and flexible she is. Highly recommend!”
“Ingrid is fantastic! She’s super friendly, helpful, reliable and responsive. Our three cats loved her, and were happy with her visits. One of our cats is extremely shy and hides from 99% of people, and she took to Ingrid immediately (we are impressed!). We highly recommend working with Ingrid and are grateful for the excellent care she provided while we were away. Thanks so much!”
“Thank you Lori! She came over twice to visit my senior cat who needs meds, was communicative and trustworthy. She also went above and beyond by helping change the litter box liner. We would definitely hire her again.”
“Limari is a wonderful cat sitter. Our kitty is older and needs a bit of extra care, and Limari handled all the details perfectly. She sent thorough updates and was very timely with her visits as well. We look forward to having her watch our kitty again, and highly recommend her as a pet sitter!”
About: I have had two cats over my life and love them to death!!! I will care for your cats as I would my own and pay careful attention to their needs, while providing a fun and easy-going environment!
About: While I grew up in a dog family, I've embraced my fate as a cat lady in adulthood! After rescuing my (giant) Norwegian Forest Cat over 5 years ago, I've fallen in love with felines and cared for them via Rover bookings as well as directly for friends and colleagues. After a lot of patience and creating a safe environment for the two of them, my cat and dog are now besties! At the same time, they’re incredibly different animals, with their own way of looking at the world, both of which I respect :). For 10 years, I have walked and cared for many family's, friends’ and colleagues' dogs and cats of all ages, and recently opened my network to my neighborhood. **Currently, I am open for cat/dog drop-ins. Please see all service options (including add-ons) in my profile and feel free to reach out with questions!** The bottom line is: the safety of your cats/dogs is my top priority. I know how it is. I’ve used Rover and other services for my pets, and I understand how it feels to entrust another person with your fur-kiddo. I am patient and will give you whatever you need to feel comfortable with me as a caregiver — from answering questions, to a meet-and-greet (in person or on zoom), to picture updates all along the way. Every cat is different, and I want to know what makes your cat unique so I can provide him/her with the best care. I’m a good communicator — from medications to escape artists to fear triggers and everything in between, you can rest assured we will be on the same page.
“tiffany is a great sitter! she fed the cats, played with them and cleaned up after them every day. she also sends lots of photos with her updates (and tiffany’s photos are amazing!) it was great to come home to well taken care of cats and a tidy home! will definitely rebook tiffany when i go out of town again =)”
“Shante was amazing with the kitties -- I cannot recommend her highly enough! She came to my house on short notice to meet my kitties (we had a family emergency and had to leave within 24 hours). She taught us all about cat tv, spent time bonding with the cats, and was so sweet! I've never returned from a trip with both cats happy, social and relaxed. I'm so grateful for Shante and will definitely use her service again! My two special needs kitties and I have had our share of bad cat sitter experiences. Shante not only quelled my concerns from the outset but sent regular updates, the cutest photos, brought them new toys, and found unique ways to engage my boys and get them up and moving daily. If you are in search of the perfect cat sitter, look no further. Shante is it!!”
“Avery took care of my cat very well - making sure she took her meds and felt safe. She was very patient with my cat’s quirks. From the pictures she sent I can tell my cat had a good time with her. Thanks for taking such good care of her 🤩”

“Freddie was so stoked! He got lots of play time with his new bff Henri and was very well taken care of. Will definitely book with Michael again. Truly felt like Freddie was with family.”
“Kiyomi was so good with my dog Ron! She took great care of him and made sure he was happy, fed and got lots of exercise and cuddles. I definitely recommend Kiyomi, she is friendly, cheerful and nice, and my dog loved her right away.”
“Jackson came home so tired that he must have had a wonderful time with Cat, Albert, and Trace! 😍 they provided the cutest report card about his day 💕 I also really appreciate how flexible they were with drop off and pick up times, due to my unpredictable work schedule. So glad to have Jackson enjoy daycare here!”
About: Hi there! I have long loved being a dog mom and thought to start sitting to give myself and my own dog some extra company and fun times. I can usually take up to two additional dogs to my own. If I am able to sit for your dog, I will be working from home. However, I am not available everyday. This is why I recommend planning in advance for my availability. I have a single family home with a fenced in dog run and patio for them to play in. They are free to be in the house and not be restricted in movements. However, I do not let pets on the furniture or beds. However doggy beds are available.
“Thank you so much Frances, my dog was so happy and i can tell she enjoyed herself with you. Your amazing! You were very hospitable and I very much appreciate the consideration for utilizing a harness with my big pup! Sending us pictures throughout her really helped us with our own separation anxiety. Thanks again for working with us on the flexible scheduling you are a real gem. We will definitely be looking forward to our next session. YAY!!!”
“Happy that we were accommodated even though it was last minute. I got pictures of Nala & Nova playing outside and resting. I can tell Susan and Seo Kyung loves doggies!”
“SO great! Karah is amazing with my super high energy lab puppy. So considerate and made sure to follow his schedule. He came home so happy and slept so well. We will be back, highly recommend!”
“Miguel and his wife were so kind and helpful. They took Hazey in last minute and were quick to respond, which we really appreciated. They were very accommodating to her needs and made her feel comfortable right away. Their home is spacious, clean, and welcoming, which gave us peace of mind. We’re very grateful for their flexibility and care and would absolutely recommend them.”
“I needed a dog sitter on very short notice, and I’m so glad I found Angelica! She was incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment we connected. Both of my dogs took to her right away, and when I picked them up, they kept going back to her to be pet and attention, that says it all! It's clear Angelica has a genuine love for animals and a special way with them. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Our puppy, Farley LOVES staying with Marysia! He stayed with every day for a week while my husband was out of town and I felt so comfortable leaving him in her care. Simon and Sophie were so great with him and even taught him some new tricks! :-) We will definitely use her again!”
“We’re so grateful to have found Ryan and Theoni through Rover. They provided our hairless pup with thoughtful, attentive care and made sure he felt completely at ease in their home. It’s clear they genuinely love animals and treat every four-legged guest like family. Their communication throughout the day gave us peace of mind, with thoughtful updates that showed how tuned in they are to each pet’s unique needs. We feel incredibly comfortable leaving our dog in their care—and we wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking loving, reliable sitters.”

I have also taken care of a tiny dogs while’s I’ve done babysitting and house sitting while owners are away on trips. I ha a 13 year old Pommix (my first baby).

I would enjoy dropping in to play or walk pets and board pets on my home. I am a retired teacher. I spent 30 years in the classroom. I would like to work part-time caring for pets, walking them, as well as pet sitting when their parents are away. I have a fenced in yard so dogs can run and play.

“Isabella was fantastic with Molly! You could tell she genuinely cared and Molly had such a great time playing with her dog Luffy. Thank you for taking great care of Molly and making this an easy experience!”
“Denise kept sending me videos of Luna, and kept me updated on how she was. Dealt with my puppy’s separation anxiety, which is amazing by it self. Luna came home tired from all the fun.”
About: I’ve been a dog owner for 8 years and grew up with dogs my whole life. I understand how important it is to find someone who will treat your dog with the same care, attention, and patience you would. Whether it’s a walk around the block or extra time for sniff breaks, I always make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I do freelance work from home so I have a flexible schedule Monday-Sunday. I’m able to care for your pet based on their needs and walking/feeding schedule. I have a fenced yard and a 9 yr old, medium dog (28lbs cocker Spanish mix) named Mia who’s very mellow. Your dog’s well-being is my priority.

I follow their routine closely, pay attention to what makes them feel comfortable, and ensure they stay happy and secure until you return. You can feel confident knowing your dog is receiving thoughtful, reliable care every step of the way.

“I had a wonderful experience with Jacquelyn. She was responsive and friendly in all our communication. She arrived at my home on time and sent me plenty of pictures of my dog during their walk. I would definitely recommend Jacquelyn and would hire her again in the future!”
About: For nearly two decades, my neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to care for their pets when they are away. I have extensive experience looking after dogs and cats of all ages and needs. Not only can I take your high-energy dog for a long walk or run, I will also slow things down to give your elderly pet the time and attention they need. I’m known for never refusing a belly rub and always loving your pets like my own. I am also happy to check up on aquarium dwellers (like my client who has goldfish!) I am a professional dancer and summer is the slow season, so I have flexible hours that can fit anyone’s busy day. I am available for daytime check-ins, walks, and daycare any day of the week. My schedule easily allows for pet pickups/drop offs and house sitting. I am home most of the day to keep your dog company. If I am out of the house it usually will only be for a couple hours and I have a very friendly dog who will comfort your dog in my absence. Because I am home most of the time, I can do exercise and potty breaks as frequently as you would like.
“Lori was great at communicating. She was sweet with our dog, Zara, and Zara seemed to like her. We had hired her for a walk, and we look forward to using her to stay with Zara at a future date.”
About: I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely care about the animals I watch. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they’re safe and comfortable while in my care I have a senior dog of my own, so I’m very familiar with routines, medications, and taking things at an older pet’s pace. Over the years I’ve watched dogs, cats, turtles, birds, snakes, and just about anything else you can think of. I spent many years as a teacher, but recently made the decision to step into a slower pace of life. Now I’m available daily for pet visits or dogs walks. I love being able to give animals the calm, consistent attention they deserve. Right now I provide pet care (daily visits, walks etc) exclusively in my clients’ homes, allowing pets to stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I do not offer care in my own home.
“We are so happy to have found Andrew! He is full of positive energy, which our pet and family love. We are new to the site, but so far he’s been wonderful at communicating with us and reliable. We feel lucky to have found him.”
About: I grew up with animals, have cat and dog sat for friends for years. I also have experience with fish, lizards, snakes, frogs, etc. I always send pictures and make sure the details are right! Also my name is Alex - Rover won't let me change it ; ) Hi! My name is Alex. I am a writer and filmmaker with a flexible schedule and often work from home. Happy to stop by once or to build a longer dynamic with your pet and create a routine. I always make sure they are comfortable and happy and engaged. How varies depending on the pet! But I like to take it slow and make sure they are comfortable with me and know me.
About: I have had many dogs of my own, cared for them as puppies into their old age. Big and small, from Golden Retrievers to Chihuahuas. I have pet sat many times for cats and dogs. I have a very open and flexible schedule, I am on summer break currently. I am available everyday of the week and weekend, and have reliable transportation and the flexibility for longer stays. I spend quality time with them, play with them, and make sure they are eating, drinking, and exercising properly. Making sure they are happy and comfortable with me.
“Kyle is a great dog walker. He provided photos and updates on my pup. I trusted him to give my pup the best care, always looking out for his best interest. I highly recommend Kyle.”
“I was walking my dog Chase and ran into some neighbors that have had the pleasure of meeting Mike and only had great things to say about him!!! We really appreciate the time he spends with our dog. Thank you Mike 😎”
About: Your pet's comfort and happiness are my top priority, and I believe the best way to achieve that is by keeping things as familiar as possible. I stick closely to your pet's normal routine - feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any medications - so they feel safe and at ease whether you are home or away. I am reliable, attentive, and genuinely patient with all kinds of personalities. Whether your pup is high-energy and needs plenty of activity or is a more laid-back companion who just wants some quiet company, I adapt to whatever makes your pet feel most comfortable. I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs and understand the extra care and patience they require. From managing medications and limited mobility to providing gentle companionship and a calm environment, I am experienced in making older dogs feel comfortable, loved, and well looked after. Communication is something I take seriously. I know how much you love your pet, and I never want you to wonder how they are doing. You can count on regular updates and photos throughout the day so you always have peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle. I am a freelancer who works from home with a flexible schedule, which means I am around the house throughout the day and can plan my entire routine around your pet's needs. When I am in your home, I follow your instructions carefully and treat your space and your pet with the utmost respect. My goal is simple - to make sure your furry family member feels loved, cared for, and right at home until you return. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. As a freelancer who works from home, I have the flexibility to structure my entire day around your pet's needs. Throughout the day I take regular breaks from work to check in, play, and spend quality time with any pets in my care. Your pet will never feel like an afterthought - they are always my priority. To give your pet the best possible care, I love learning as much about them as I can before we get started. Knowing their daily routine, energy level, feeding schedule, medications, and any special needs helps me make sure they feel right at home. I also like to understand their personality - how they interact with other dogs and people, any quirks or preferences, and what makes them feel safe and comfortable. The more I know about your pet, the better I can care for them the way you would
About: Hi! I recently graduated from UCSB and have a very flexible schedule this summer before starting my full-time job. I’ve dog sat for family friends, and neighbors over the years and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. I’ve cared for a Maltese for several weeks, looked after a German Shepherd, and watched other small and medium-sized dogs. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, going on walks, playing with dogs, and making sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I always try to provide the same level of care and attention they receive at home. I’m also happy to send photo updates so you can feel confident that your pet is in good hands. I have a very flexible schedule and can provide care throughout the day, which means your dog will get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship. I’m available on weekdays and weekends and can easily adjust to your dog’s normal routine. Since I’m home most of the day, I can make sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and never left alone for long periods of time. I live in a spacious townhouse with plenty of room for dogs to relax and move around comfortably. I also have a private porch where dogs can safely spend time outside and enjoy some fresh air. There is a coach outside for them to lay on. I understand that every dog has different needs and routines, so I always follow owner instructions carefully regarding feeding, walks, exercise, and any special care. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and at home while you’re away.
About: We're a family of four dog lovers who often take care of our neighbor's dog (and cats). We have one indoor cat who thinks he is a dog and plays with dogs and another indoor cat who likes to hide. We used to have a dog before, so we know how to train dog and teach dog tricks. We also have flexible work schedule and will not leave the dog alone for long time and will follow special instructions to meet your needs. We're doing this for fun and extra financial income to support kids' education. We live in a townhouse with a small enclosed patio area, therefore we only take dogs who are used to living indoors and are potty trained, we're very close to the Garfield Park, so we frequent the park unless we're told not to do long walks. Why I love dog sitting always a dog lover. We used to have a pit bull-lab mix and we are good at training dogs. About my yard very small patio in the front, with gate. My experience administering medication with instructions, sure. I work at home part time, so I have the flexibility to keep dogs company. I live close to the park and generally takes long walks daily. It depends on different dogs' needs. I often follow owner's instruction and try to keep the staying as close to as the dog's original home condition.
About: I've had many dogs growing up from a Chihuahua, Sharpei, Husky and now three of my own rescue mutts. Recently, I volunteered with a rescue in Agoura Hills bringing in dogs from Korea for a year, transporting them from LAX to an adoption center. Also, I have volunteered at the Pasadena Humane Society and North Central Shelter here in LA. Paying close attention to detail, I administered daily medication, fed a special diet (often cooking homemade meals) and had monthly vet visits for a senior dog all while taking care of my young toddler. Since I've been a full time mom, I have most weekdays free between school hours and some evenings. When I don't have to take my daughter to her weekly activities, I am also available weekends. I'm pretty flexible and could be available on short notice. I have 3 dogs who are all potty trained and do not need to be crated. I understand everybody has different needs and environments, which I am open to assisting. I strongly believe in mental and physical stimulation for pets and therefore can play with them, give toys, snuffle mats, fetch balls, go over basic commands and even give baths. Walks are ideal in their own neighborhood, or just letting them out in their yard if that's what they're use to. I am able to give treats, or food when needed and give medication. Most importantly, I want my pets to feel safe, given undivided attention, and loved.
About: I have extensive experience caring for cats of all ages, temperaments, and needs. I volunteer at two cat shelters, where I’ve handled everything from feeding and administering medication to socializing shy or nervous cats. At home, I have 6 cats of my own, so I’m well-versed in the daily care, behavior patterns, and little quirks that make each cat unique. Whether it’s playtime, cuddle time, or just making sure they feel safe and comfortable, I truly love spending time with cats and understanding what makes them tick. I work from home and on a super flexible schedule so I have a lot of time on my hands. I love cats and any time I can spend around them is time well spent :) I know cats are creatures of habit so I will try my best to follow your instructions closely and make them feel as comfortable as possible. I know most kitties tend to not be super playful with strangers but I will try my best to provide some entertainment:)

“If you are looking for a spectacular sitter, hire Steven! He went above and beyond for our pup, keeping us posted every step of the way with great photos. Our dog has separation anxiety, but Steven handled it flawlessly by dedicating lots of quality time to him and taking him on frequent daily walks. We couldn't have asked for better peace of mind. Highly recommended!”
“We hadn’t taken an overseas vacation in over five years because it’s always been so hard for us to leave our dogs, and honestly, we struggled to find someone we truly trusted. But after our meet and greet with Janelle and Alvin, I immediately felt at ease and knew our babies would be in great hands. I’m so happy to say that instinct was absolutely right. They took care of our two dogs for two days, and the entire experience was seamless. Janelle was incredible with communication! She sent updates and photos regularly without me ever needing to ask, which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. Both Janelle and Alvin have such a calm, kind demeanor, and their home is clean, cozy, and clearly a safe space for pets. One of our dogs is usually very anxious and slow to warm up to new people, but he surprised us by opening up to them right away. That alone speaks volumes. I can’t recommend them enough, and we will absolutely be booking with them again in the future! Thank you Janelle and Alvin for taking such good care of our babies!”
“Margaret is an absolute rock star, a total gem, and she will be my go-to dog sitter from now on. She took absolutely exceptional care of my super senior Indy, handling tummy upset, medications, and even coordinating with a friend who picked up Indy for an impromptu vet visit while I was out of town. She also took exceptional care of Tato, who has a traumatic background and is still figuring out to be a dog and how to be social with other dogs. Tato blossomed under her care, cuddling with another dog for the first time during a nap and playing with other pups in her yard. She TRULY cares for dogs like they are her own, takes the cutest and most amazing pictures, and provides regular updates on their activities and care. Don't hesitate to book Margaret if you need doggy day care or boarding, she is the best!”
“To put it plain and simple, I could not have possibly had a better dog sitter. In my eyes, she could be the best in the world, and here's why... I went to SLO to wine taste with my girlfriends family. On Sat morning I got a text from Tina with a pic of my girl and she had a bloody nose. She had gotten stung by something and scratched her nose up so bad she was bleeding. Obviously this is a stressful situation for me because I'm away from my poor self destructive child. But Tina made me feel comfortable about the situation. She gave me extensive updates, pictures, and documented the whole Vet hospital experience. I felt so extremely confident in the way she handled the situation. Tina is professional and compassionate and great at communicating. My goal was to leave her the best review anyone has ever received on the Internet. I wish I could give her 10 stars, she deserves it. ”
“Dodonna took good care of our dog and sent many pictures. He was able to stay indoors when it was too hot out and go outside when he wanted. There were several other dogs there so he had a lot of playmates. He had a good weekend.”
“We had such a great experience with Adolfo! He took care of our two dogs, Ozzy (9) and Jessie (1), for a week while we were on vacation, and we couldn’t have asked for better care. He took them on walks, played with them, made sure they were fed, and even gave them their vitamins. Adolfo also kept us updated with pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was such a relief knowing our dogs were happy, safe, and being well taken care of. We were able to truly enjoy our vacation knowing Ozzy and Jessie were in such a positive and caring place. We highly recommend Adolfo and would definitely trust him with our dogs again!”
“I'm so thankful for the excellent care Diana provided to my dogs. She sends me daily updates, my dogs looked very happy around her, her husband and their dogs. I'm so happy that I choose Diana to care for my dogs. I heartly recommend Diana to anyone that needs to leave their dogs in the care of someone. In the future, I'll leave my dogs with Diana knowing that she'll provide the best care and they will be happy in her care.”
“Kiyomi was a fantastic caretaker for our dog, Rizzo! She’s experienced with training dogs, and and so I from the very beginning during our meet and greet she did not accept any undesirable behaviors. Rizzo bonded with her almost immediately and and she was great at communicating as to what they were up to and sending a few pictures as well. He was well exercised going on an extended hike with Kiyomi, in addition to his daily walks.”
About: I have taken care of pets for the last 20 years. I have been a house dog sitter for two German shepherds. I have also taken care of a tiny dogs while’s I’ve done babysitting and house sitting while owners are away on trips. I ha a 13 year old Pommix (my first baby). He has 2 kitten sisters (5yrs and 3 months). I recently retired from teaching elementary school for 30 years and would love to spend more time caring for furbabies 🥰. I would enjoy dropping in to play or walk pets and board pets on my home. I am a retired teacher. I spent 30 years in the classroom. I would like to work part-time caring for pets, walking them, as well as pet sitting when their parents are away. I have a fenced in yard so dogs can run and play. I also have a patio being built on my porch for cats who like the outside. My neighborhood is a perfect place to walk dogs as well as stroll cats in their cat stroller.
“Stephanie took absolutely excellent care of my dog. I received daily updates and photos and was assured that he would receive his medication as required while I was away for the holidays. I will definitely be using her again!”
“OMG, Stephanie was wonderful. She gave me updates and pictures regarding Blair all weekend. I felt very comfortable leaving Blair with Stephanie. Very nice and friendly environment.”
About: For nearly two decades, my neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to care for their pets when they are away. I have extensive experience looking after dogs and cats of all ages and needs. Not only can I take your high-energy dog for a long walk or run, I will also slow things down to give your elderly pet the time and attention they need. I’m known for never refusing a belly rub and always loving your pets like my own. I am also happy to check up on aquarium dwellers (like my client who has goldfish!) I am a professional dancer and summer is the slow season, so I have flexible hours that can fit anyone’s busy day. I am available for daytime check-ins, walks, and daycare any day of the week. My schedule easily allows for pet pickups/drop offs and house sitting. I am home most of the day to keep your dog company. If I am out of the house it usually will only be for a couple hours and I have a very friendly dog who will comfort your dog in my absence. Because I am home most of the time, I can do exercise and potty breaks as frequently as you would like.
