“Marie was amazing with Kilo! She sent frequent photo updates and made me feel totally at ease while I was away. It was clear she truly cared for him, and Kilo absolutely loved her. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend!”
“Shao did a great job looking after our senior dog Wolfie who is on heart medication. She was very communicative throughout and sent regular updates. I felt like Wolfie was well looked after with care and attention.”
“Renee and Chris are very trusted sister. Because my dolls medical condition, I had to be picky to find new sitter not to have multiple other dogs. They only accepted my dogs and no other dogs. Renee made sure to provide the medication and she is very familiar with. They sent us a lot of pictures and video and we were very happy to know how our dogs were doing every day. Renee and Chris are highly recommended and I will ask their availability when we need our dog sitter next time for sure.”
“Yu-Liang & Yi-Ting were awesome with our dogs. Super caring, easy to communicate with, and clearly love dogs. We felt very comfortable leaving our pups with them and would absolutely book them again!”
“Henri had a great weekend at Paulina’s! She came out to greet us and then took the leash and introduced Henri to her home-he was so comfortable with her from the start. Our dog has hardly been away from us in his 7 years and I was a little nervous about leaving him with someone new, but I soon realized I had nothing to worry about. Paulina is a very relaxed person and sent updates and adorable photos each day. It made me happy to see him look so at home with her. Don’t let her lack of a backyard discourage you-Henri was happy and tired when we picked him up. We will call on her whenever we need a dog sitter for when we visit our daughter in SF. Paulina was an absolute lifesaver and we are so happy to have found her!”
“Sandra & Jose are everything you could want in the people who you trust to watch your pet. I could tell from the photos that my pup felt safe, happy, and truly at home with this lovely couple. It kinda felt like he belongs with them, so I was happy to extend his stay. Communication was on point, lots of cute pupdates, and my dog came home as one should after a lovely vacation— relaxed and happy. Thank you both for your time & dedication. It means the world to my little family.”
“We felt so comfortable leaving our two dogs with Cynthia and her family. We received daily updates and photos- Casper and Cleveland receive 24/7 cuddles and love their time with Cynthia’s kids!”
“Allison and Gordon are our go to sitters! Omar and Audrey once again had a great time and came home happy and tired out. Even with a few days of rain and Omar's dislike of wet grass on his feet, they clearly got lots of attention and exercise. I cannot recommend them enough!”
“We couldn't have been happier with Alvin and his family, which is why we booked them for a second time without hesitation! After such a fantastic first stay, we knew Doc would be thrilled to see his buddy Sterling again. Alvin provides such a warm, caring, and safe environment that Doc truly feels like he's at a home away from home. As someone who used to fly with my dog, it's an incredible relief to know I can now drop him off with a sitter I completely trust. I can't recommend Alvin enough. He's an amazing sitter, and we're so grateful to have found him!”
“Mimi did an incredible job with my older Husky mix. She gave plenty of updates so I felt comfortable knowing he was doing well. She took him on plenty of walks and made sure all his needs were met. Will definitely book again!”
“Sin is a great sitter! Extremely communicative and checks in when needed. My pup can be on the skittish side yet she’s comfortable in Sin’s care. Definitely recommend Sin!”
“Yuko did her best to make sure Clementine was loved when she was feeling a little homesick. Clementine came back to us all nice and tuckered out after a few days stay! It's nice that Yuko has other dogs around so that it's always play time for the dogs.”
“Orca stayed with Wei for 28 days when we were out of town. Wei took really great care of Orca, Orca came back happy and healthy, would highly recommend Wei to anyone I know!”
About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life- including three Central Asian Shepherds, a Caucasian Shepherd, and a small Toy Terrier. I don’t currently have a dog, so I truly enjoy spending time with pets and giving them attention and care. Pet care has always been an important part of my daily routine. Whether it's feeding, walking, or playing with my own pets, or pet-sitting for friends and family, I make sure to prioritize the needs of the animals in my care. I understand the importance of consistent attention and effort in maintaining a happy and healthy pet, and am committed to providing that care. If providing pet-sitting services in the client's home, I ensure the pets have adequate food, water, and exercise, and maintain a clean and safe environment. If providing dog-walking services, I take the dogs on a safe and enjoyable walk while adhering to any specific instructions provided by the owner. Regardless of the service, I always prioritize the well-being and comfort of the pets in my care.
“Sofia went above and beyond for my boy Ridley. He isn’t feeling well and they took very good care of him. I will be looking to book her again in the future. Thanks so much Sofia!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 8 years and am also a proud dog parent to two amazing pups of my own.

Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to their usual schedule, I’ll make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I’ll also send regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets. Since I care for my own two dogs every day, I’m already used to planning my routine around walks, feeding, playtime, and potty breaks. Whether your pet needs a quick visit, a long walk, or overnight care, I’ll do my best to accommodate their routine and make sure they feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, medication instructions, and any special requests to help them feel at home. I’ll provide plenty of love, exercise, playtime, and regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring hands.
“Yvonne and her partner took such good care of Benny! He barely wanted to leave. lol She provided frequent updates and made sure he got plenty of exercise. Thanks for everything <3”
“Christine was fantastic with “Bo.” She kept us updated throughout the evening with pictures and stories while we were gone. Bo was very comfortable with Christine. She was genuinely sweet with him and made him feel comfortable right away. We highly recommend Christine to anyone who needs a caring person to take care of their four legged family members.”

“Tingting was a great cat sitter and I'd highly recommend her! She did drop-ins for my 2 cats, and she was very communicative and sent many pictures during her visit. She fed them, played with them, gave them treats, and maintained the water fountain which covered all their needs. My cats seemed to like her!”
“Yujie took amazing care of my two 6-year old cats while I was away. Her energy is calming and my cats liked her right away from our initial meet and greet. They were very happy to have her come visit :). Yujie gave detailed written updates each day and was flexible with the timing of the drop in visits. Great communication and professional! She also sent so many cute pictures, a video, and played with my cats and spent time with them! I definitely recommend Yujie for drop in visits for cats!!”
“Thank you Hiromi for being the sweetest sitter! Rico had so much fun with Turbo and it is easy to see she was in good hands throughout her stay. I have booked Hiromi twice now and each time she is super flexible on pick up and drop off, and she does a great job making Rico feel at home. :)”
“Jaron! Wow! Remarkably professional as well as my kitties best buddy now! Jaron cared for our Blu Kitty as if he had known her furever! I highly recommend Jaron for all your pet watching needs. Trust worthy and loyal! Thank you Jaron!!”
“Vanessa was very communicative around planning the visit and she was also very respectful of my cat’s boundaries around new people! She also was skilled in giving my cat her medication with minimal resistance haha. Thank you for taking care of her!”
“We engaged Chenyang for several drop-in visits to take care of our cats. She is very responsible, communicative, and punctual. She’s detail-oriented and took photos of her work to assure us that everything was in order. She’s very kind and gentle to pets and our cats warmed up to her very quickly. We would definitely work with her next time!”
“Jie was a wonderful cat sitter! She stopped by to feed, scoop litter, and play with our two boys while we were away for a few days. She kept me well informed and updated and sent tons of pictures of her visits. It was so nice to have peace of mind while I was away and know my cats were well taken care of.”
“Sandra was absolutely wonderful with Momo! She is incredibly warm, proactive, and detail-oriented, providing daily updates that made us feel so at ease while we were away. Her flexibility and thoughtful communication truly set her apart, and it's clear she genuinely cares for the pets she watches. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and highly recommend her!”
“As usual Shao is the best! She dropped by to spend time with ozzy while I worked a very long shift. She walked, fed, gave his medicine, comforted and spent time with him. Ozzy is my senior dog that requires very specific care and she always does the best job taking care of him just as I would do. Shao always updates me consistently with photos and videos of what they’re up to, Ozzy always looks genuinely happy and comfortable, which is so so important because he gets very bad anxiety. Whenever I get home after Shao dropped by he always looks very peaceful and rested. Thank you Shao! Highly recommend!”
“Emily is a fantastic pet sitter! She was always quick to respond to my questions and concerns and sent photos of my cat at each drop-in. She is super dependable and a great communicator. I will definitely ask her to cat sit again in the future.”
“Sarah is amazing! We needed a sitter for our 5 month old kitten and we were very nervous about using a sitter we didn’t know. Once we met Sarah we knew she’d be perfect. She is incredibly nice and an obvious animal lover. She sent updates and pictures throughout the stay. We will absolutely be using her again. Thank you Sarah! We couldn’t have enjoyed our trip without your help with Gabby!”
“Yu-Hsuan was a great sitter for our two cats! She is very thorough and took many pictures to share with us while we were away. I appreciate her care and attention to detail. Both cats liked her a lot 😊 We got stuck while traveling and she was able to be flexible and drop in an additional time at the last second. Thank you again Yu-Hsuan!”
“Katrina was wonderful sitter for our two cats, Pippa and Sam, during our Thanksgiving holiday! She was super responsive, easy to work with, and our cats love her! One of our cats was a little feisty under her care, and she was very understanding and gracious handling the situation with us. We appreciate her help and would be happy to hire her services again in the future!”
“Rebecca was very communicative throughout my trip and took great care of our cat Chikoo. She ensured that he felt comfortable the whole time and we felt very confident leaving our cat with her. Would definitely book her again!”
About: Hi! I've had my own dogs and always treated them like my babies.🐶 I'm calm, patient, and really enjoy spending quality time with them. Whether it's relaxing, going on walks, or just being together. Being around dogs makes me feel happy and ease, and I'll care for yours with the same love and attention I give my own. 💕 I'm available Monday to Friday and have plenty of time to spend quality time, calm time with your babies. I'll make sure they feel loved and comfortable 💛 I take safety and trust seriously it is important to me. I provide a calm, clean and loving environment.

“Caroline was a lifesaver! The thought of leaving our kitty at home with a stranger for 16 days was nerve-wracking, to say the least! Thankfully, we found Caroline, and she took the anxiety out of the equation. She took care to follow out instructions and maintain Tatsu's kitty routine with minimal disruption. In addition, Caroline gave regular updates and communicated in detail about how things were going. It was clear from her communication that Tatsu had settled in well with her new caregiver. When we returned home, we found a healthy and content little cat and a spotless home. We are deeply grateful for Caroline's cat sitting and would highly recommend her for anyone seeking a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter.”
About: We've had dogs since I can remember and I love them more than humans. A dogs love is unconditional and I love seeing how happy they are exploring on our walks. I have a flexible work schedule and happy to take your pup on walks during the day! Keep us both healthier and happier throughout the day! I'll always watch them like my own (who try to eat random things sometimes) to make sure they don't get into anything unexpected to keep them in good health!

“Shao Er always takes such good care of our pup, so much so that she is excited to be dropped off and sad to be picked up! We're repeat customers and are glad to continue to be repeats.”
About: I've grown up around dogs all my life and have been petsitting since I was 18 years old. I am familiar and comfortable with the routine that comes with caring, exercising, and loving all different types of dogs. I currently have a small network of clients who have trusted me with their pets for 7+ years. I am typically an early riser and love morning walks to start the day. There is also a park a few blocks away that I regularly run to myself. Whether I care for pets in my home or their own, I try my best to adhere to their routine and comforts. My favorite thing to do is go on nice walks with the dogs I care for and make sure they have enough safe playtime. I work on a hybrid schedule, but am fortunate enough to have plenty of flexibility. I am mainly available on weekends, as I will be home all day and can give proper attention and care to the pets I care for. When caring for pets, I try my best to adhere to their specified routines and boundaries. I live in a clean, cozy duplex and am able to take pets out for bathroom breaks conveniently.
About: I work from home as a customer service agent, and I have all the time to care and watch the furbabies. I will make sure your fur baby will be safe, healthy and having fun while you are away. It will be my pleasure to take care of your fur baby. I’m home most of the time. I can guarantee he/she is taking care off while you are away. I can keep an eye of him/her. I am a pet lover ever since when I was a kid. I had 2 dogs back home and 1 dog here with me. He/she will enjoy playing with my fur baby.
About: Hi, I’m Thiago! As a lifelong dog lover, I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and caring for them since childhood. My family has always had dogs, giving me years of hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Today, I’m proud to turn that lifelong passion into a career, providing reliable, loving, and attentive care for every pet as if they were my own. 🐾🐾 We’re a family home where everyone is passionate about dogs! I’m home full time so your dog will always be supervised and never left alone. We treat every dog like family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved throughout their stay 🥰 I have a big fenced yard, turfed and lotta space for your puppy, I have a friendly dog so is a good company to have fun!! Our home is located only 4–5 minutes from the SFO airport which makes drop-off and pick-up super convenient for travelers. We also know that life can be unpredictable, whether it’s a delayed flight, traffic, or last-minute changes, we’re flexible and always do our best to adjust accordingly. My sister has been a professional dog sitter for years, but she’ll be taking a few months off for an upcoming foot surgery and recovery. I recently moved in to help her, and caring for dogs is now my full-time job. If you’re here from her profile, I’d love the opportunity to care for your pup and continue providing the same loving, safe and home away from home experience! ❤️
“Sarah was great! She sent me check in pictures and even took my dog Jean to the coffee shop with her when her power/wifi went out due to the crazy winds we got today. Will book again!”
“I am incredibly grateful to have find Leticia and her aussie May. From the initial response times to photo updates throughout the stay, booking a stay with Leticia was the best decision we made on Rover.”
“Stanly was amazing! He was extremely understanding and accommodating to us. He took good care for Ryo and took pictures as we would like. Overall, we highly recommend him!”
“We brought our 6 month old golden retriever Lily to Jade's for doggy daycare. Lily had so much fun! Jade fed her lunch, played with her, let her play in the water (it was a hot day), and oversaw her interactions with the other dogs. Jade was kind, punctual, and communicative. I highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 13 years old, and have had cats and dogs for my entire adult life. I have helped friends and family take care of their pets for just as long. I love animals, and their well-being is my utmost priority. I have extensive experience and knowledge on what pets need from experience with my own pets and taking care of pets for others. When I am traveling or need to be away from home for any reason, my main concern is always whether my cats and dogs are happy and getting everything they need. My mission is to do everything I can to give you the worry-free experience I would want myself. I am self-employed, so my schedule is flexible around what you and your pet(s) need. I am available at most times of the day and on weekends/holidays. I understand that every pet’s need can differ based on the situation. I will care for your pet according to his/her individual need.
About: I adopted my first rescue puppy over 19 years ago. Our most recent adoption turned out to be quite the handful. She's extremely reactive and is very anxious around strangers. I've learned so much from caring for her that I know I can care for any dog no matter their personality. I work from home so I'm available everyday and on the weekends too. I'm also self-employed so I set my own schedule and can take walk breaks whenever I like. Our house has a fully fenced in backyard. We also have an extra room that's separate from the rest of the house if your dog needs their own space.
“Marie Elenore was amazing with my pup, but also with me as I was running late for the scheduled time. 🐶🐾 Very accommodating. 👍😊 Crinkle definitely had a blast with her. 🎉🥳 Thank you! 🙏💖”
“This review is long overdue. Christoper has been watching my puppy three times a week since beginning of January. I feel as if it’s been for months but it’s only been a couple weeks. He is a great communicator and super responsive. He has such patience with my energetic puppy. He takes him and his dog on walks and has a great outdoor space for them to run around. He takes great notes and feedback on each visit and takes lots of fun pictures. I highly recommend Christopher. Anyone who can handle my 73 pound puppy is a superstar. Thank you Christopher!”
About: Hi. I have cared for dogs my whole life. I think dogs are truly mans best friend. I will treat your dog like they are my own dog. I have had dogs my whole life. Come to think of it I have never lived a day in my life without a dog. My family is a true dog family. My 9 year old daughter is a true animal lover and loves interacting with dogs. Our 5 year old loves having pups around. I have trained all my dogs using positive reinforcement and I feel that dogs respond the best to that. We always have a dog door open to our backyard so our dogs always have access to our grassy fenced in yard. I will ensure your dog is well cared for and safe during there stay with my family. My wife and I are a team when we care for dogs. We make sure somone is home to care for your dog around the clock and give them the attention they deserve. We have a grassed fenced in yard and we always check to make sure our yard is secure. We provide pet crates so no need to pack yours.
“Cynthia and her family were the best. Very accommodating and easy to communicate with. She sent us multiple pictures and videos throughout the day which made me feel at ease. I was so happy to see that Amaru had fun and enjoyed his stay. Will definitely book with Cynthia again and am so happy to find a new dog sitter for Amaru close to home. Thank you so much for everything!!”

About: Hi! My name is Blessy, and I’ve always had a love for animals. As a cat owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your pets while you’re away. I’m patient, responsible, and dedicated to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I have experience caring for both cats and dogs, including feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning up after pets, administering basic medications, and following specific care instructions. I treat every pet as if they were my own and am happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, young, or senior, I’m committed to providing personalized care and attention. I currently work part time, which allows me flexibility to provide dependable pet care throughout the week. I am available for drop in visits, walks, and pet sitting before and after work, as well as on many weekends. I understand the importance of maintaining your pet’s routine and will always do my best to accommodate their schedule and needs. I provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special care requests.

I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Anna showed up for me in a pinch— I needed help amidst unpacking from a move while my puppy showed signs of needing a little more help adjusting. She walked my young one and brought him back happy as can be! Anna is super professional and polite to work with, I couldn't ask for better communication. Thank you Anna!”
About: Growing up I’ve owned many dogs and love them so much! They bring so much love in a household! I’ve also dog sat when I was younger. I just have so much LOVE for fur babies! As summer is approaching for the next month, I am working a full time job during the week and will be available after 3pm. However on weekends I am free to come play and check in on your pups throughout the day! When caring for your pup at home I will make sure I try my absolute best to care and cater to your pup’s routine as close and smoothly as possible to keep them the most comfortable and feel well taken care of as if they were my own so they feel loved and nurtured.
“Cheryll is awesome. She truly cares about the dogs she walks. She gave my pups a great walk and was very responsive and followed my instructions perfectly. I will definitely use her again as a dog walker, and would highly recommend her to any dog parents out there.”
About: We've had dogs since I can remember and I love them more than humans. A dogs love is unconditional and I love seeing how happy they are exploring on our walks.

“Marisela has been great with our new adopted dog, Jack-Jack. He’s been sick this week, and Marisela was very kind and compassionate. Checking in to see if he’s okay and making sure he’s comfortable and gets fresh air when he wasn’t wanting to walk. You can tell she loves dogs!”
“Gracy has been amazing. She started off doing weekly walks with our dog, Skye, and our son's dog, Loki. Skye is very independent so I wasn't sure how Gracy was going to handle it, but Gracy ended up being the perfect person for Skye! My wife and I went on a 6 day cruise and needed someone to take Skye out while our son was at work. Gracy eagerly agreed. Our grandkids also stopped by several times during our trip and told us that Skye was sad and didn't want to come out of her kennel. But when I saw the pictures that Gracy sent us while taking Skye on walks everyday, I knew that our girl was in good hands. Thank you so much Gracy, you are one of Skye's favorite people.”
“My dog Ozzy is a senior dog that requires specific care and Shao made sure to accommodate perfectly! Ozzy gets little panic attacks when alone for too long sometimes and at times requires medication. She used her intuition and gave him his anxiety pill because she felt that he had asthma like symptoms and was restless. When I came home he was and snoring away peacefully. She fed, walked, and made sure to even put his shoes on for the rain even though it’s a bit tricky to figure out how to put them on! I look forward to having her take care of Ozzy again in the future, def recommend if you have a senior dog or any dog for that matter! 10/10.”
“Yvonne was fantastic in her care of my Shih Tzu. I reviewed the security footage when she came over to pick up my dogs for their walk. I saw a very loving person be patient and kind to my dog. I could tell she loves dogs and gave my dogs pets and comfort as Lia wasn’t familiar with her. Yvonne was punctual and provided pic of my dogs during their walk. I would highly recommend Yvonne if you have any need for your dog.”
“Jennifer was punctual, professional and communicative. She was very helpful in the immediate post-operative procedure after Yasmín’s spaying, which required a lot of attention to detail and careful monitoring. I strongly recommend her to anyone who is looking for help caring for their pet(s).”

About: I've had dogs my whole life — that's 29 years of hands-on experience caring for them at every stage. Growing up around both working and non-working dogs gave me a well-rounded understanding of different breeds, temperaments, and needs. I currently have a dog of my own, so your pup will always be in the care of someone who genuinely lives and breathes this. As an added bonus, my sister is a veterinarian — so I bring not just personal experience, but a household full of professional-level knowledge when it comes to your pet's health and wellbeing. I work from home on weekdays, which means your pet is never far from someone who cares. I'm available for drop-in visits throughout the day as long as I can bring my laptop, and I'm free for walks Monday through Friday from 2:30–7pm. Weekends are more flexible, and I'm happy to house sit with advance notice. Having a work-from-home setup is honestly a perk for the pets I care for - there's always a calm, present person nearby. I'm no stranger to multi-dog households as I live with my own dog alongside my family's two dogs, so I'm comfortable managing the dynamics that come with multiple pets under one roof. I have hands-on experience with crate training and potty training, and I've cared for dogs in all kinds of setups: yards, apartments, you name it. For house sitting and drop-in visits, I actually prefer caring for dogs in their own environment as familiar surroundings mean less stress for your pet, and I'm there to keep their routine as normal as possible. It's the setup where I do my best work.
“Elena walks my dog Cali three times a week and we are so thankful for her! Incredibly communicative, always timely, and very professional, Cali loves and trusts Elena and so do I.”
“Luke has been amazing with my stubborn bullies. Getting them to move when they don’t want to but also exercising patience and love. He truly is the dog whisper and grateful that we found him!”
“Lisa has been so patient and gentle with my dog! She sends me multiple pictures and you can tell my dog is getting comfortable with her (which says a lot, my dog is very shy!!)”

“Shao did a great job looking after our senior dog Wolfie who is on heart medication. She was very communicative throughout and sent regular updates. I felt like Wolfie was well looked after with care and attention.”
“Henri had a great weekend at Paulina’s! She came out to greet us and then took the leash and introduced Henri to her home-he was so comfortable with her from the start. Our dog has hardly been away from us in his 7 years and I was a little nervous about leaving him with someone new, but I soon realized I had nothing to worry about. Paulina is a very relaxed person and sent updates and adorable photos each day. It made me happy to see him look so at home with her. Don’t let her lack of a backyard discourage you-Henri was happy and tired when we picked him up. We will call on her whenever we need a dog sitter for when we visit our daughter in SF. Paulina was an absolute lifesaver and we are so happy to have found her!”
“Sandra & Jose are everything you could want in the people who you trust to watch your pet. I could tell from the photos that my pup felt safe, happy, and truly at home with this lovely couple. It kinda felt like he belongs with them, so I was happy to extend his stay. Communication was on point, lots of cute pupdates, and my dog came home as one should after a lovely vacation— relaxed and happy. Thank you both for your time & dedication. It means the world to my little family.”

“Sin is a great sitter! Extremely communicative and checks in when needed. My pup can be on the skittish side yet she’s comfortable in Sin’s care. Definitely recommend Sin!”
“Orca stayed with Wei for 28 days when we were out of town. Wei took really great care of Orca, Orca came back happy and healthy, would highly recommend Wei to anyone I know!”

Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to their usual schedule, I’ll make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I’ll also send regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets. Since I care for my own two dogs every day, I’m already used to planning my routine around walks, feeding, playtime, and potty breaks. Whether your pet needs a quick visit, a long walk, or overnight care, I’ll do my best to accommodate their routine and make sure they feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, medication instructions, and any special requests to help them feel at home. I’ll provide plenty of love, exercise, playtime, and regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring hands.
“Christine was fantastic with “Bo.” She kept us updated throughout the evening with pictures and stories while we were gone. Bo was very comfortable with Christine. She was genuinely sweet with him and made him feel comfortable right away. We highly recommend Christine to anyone who needs a caring person to take care of their four legged family members.”
“Luke was so great with Garbanzo! He has two other pups Roo and Pickles who get along well with other dogs. He sent me lots of photos of the dogs tired after long days of fun at the dog park.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Tara! Tara was great with our dog, Koda, during a week long stay over the holidays. She was clearly caring and responsible, and followed all of the instructions we provided. Tara was also very communicative throughout the stay and regularly shared photo updates, which we really appreciated. We would absolutely love to have Koda stay with her again.”
“Uriel is a fantastic sitter! He picked up and dropped off our three pups on time and sent the cutest updates. We felt completely reassured boarding our pups with him. They looked well cared for and happy when we returned. Thank you, Uriel!”
“Megan was great! We did a meet and greet before booking and I felt Bao was in great hands. She was super communicative about changing circumstances, which definitely made me feel more comfortable. I also loved the pictures she sent of Bao.”
“Drew & Gregg were amazing! They were able to accommodate a last minute arrangement for my dog Oaklyn. Drew was very thorough beforehand since we didn’t have time to do a meet & greet and let me know everything about how the stay would go for Oaklyn. They took great care and took her on lots of walks and kept me updated with photos and videos while I was away. I am so thankful to have met them & hope to request them again in the future for needed doggy-sitters :)”
About: I’ve been around dogs pretty much my whole life, whether it was my standard poodle as a young kid, my mini poodle as a teenager or, more recently, the senior dogs I’ve fostered or adopted from Muttville. Dogs have always been in good hands with me. Right now my wife and I have two dachshund chihuahua mixes we adopted at five and six. Our home is a dog home. They’re on the couch, on the bed and even under the covers (if they want to burrow). They’re in the mix and they’re loved. If your dog has medications, I’ve got it. If they have special needs or they’re older and need a slower pace, I have ample experience with that. I’m currently dedicating my time to taking care of pups, so your pup will have my undivided attention throughout the days and evenings. The max amount of time I’d leave your dog alone would be for four hours. I have two dogs of my own that I would keep separate from your dog to ensure everyone’s safety and comfort. I have a fully fenced backyard with a couple of stairs. I also have pet stairs inside to help senior dogs get up on to the couch and bed
“My dogs stayed with Anna for three weeks while I recover from surgery. She was so patient with my two dogs and gave them lots of affection and loving care. Not only she sent me lots photos and texts communication, she let me visit them at her home. I’m so grateful for Anna, so I can heal properly and peacefully during these three weeks.”
“Katie and Jason were amazing hosts for Apollo! They were really sweet with him and very communicative, which was super helpful. I’m sure Apollo would love to stay with them again!”
“Julley was very communicative and I had no doubt after meeting her and her two pups that she would be able to provide the care and concern I’d hope for while watching my fur baby. She will be the first person I think of the next time I need a dog sitter.”
“I am very grateful to Kyaw for the excellent care provided to our Walter. Kyaw was incredibly responsive, kind, and thoughtful throughout the entire stay. I especially appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our pet was well cared for and in good hands. Thank you again for your professionalism and compassion!”
