“Had our 5 month old golden doodle stay with Robert for an entire week while we were out on vacation and we feel great that our pup was very well taken cared of. Robert sent us daily videos and photos without even asking. He was also given walks and played with other dogs that Robert was caring for. Thank you again Robert for making sure our pup was well fed, happy and taken cared of while we were away! We won’t hesitate to send our pup there again! ?”
“Basilio is truly amazing. From the very first moment and in a complicated situation for us, we felt that Basilio was the right person to entrust our Zoe in her first experience without us. Basilio always had the best comments and advice for better care of Zoe, he made an effort to provide her with an adequate environment so that Zoe felt at home. He even gradually tried to improve the way Zoe socialized with both people and dogs. In addition, he always tried to maintain regular communication to inform us how Zoe was doing, always sending us photos and videos of her adaptation. I can say without fear of being wrong that Zoe found her angel in Basilio and someone we definitely recommend with our eyes closed. Basilio will always go the extra mile to give your furry children the best care and attention they deserve! He will ALWAYS be the best decision for your pet's care! Basilio, we are infinitely grateful for everything you have done for both Zoe and us and we will definitely trust you again to take care of our beloved Zoe and we hope to be able to meet again so that Zoe doesn't miss you too much! Zoe says: "Greetings to Uncle Basilio"!”

Milo is a nervous dog but she made him feel as comfortable as she could and I appreciate that because this was a last min. Thank you so much Skylar I highly recommend on her taking care of you furbaby!! Definitely will return if I go away on another trip!”
“Lizet was wonderful with bear. She gives you updates and photos/ videos on your pet which it really appreciative of. She treats your pets like they were her own. Bear felt comfortable with lizet and you can tell she enjoyed her stay with lizet. Bear found her forever sitter and new friends 😁💙”
“It was so hard leaving FeeFee with a sitter for the first time, but Bernadette made everything so wonderful. My baby looked so happy in all of the photos she sent me! I have been trying to implement healthier foods into my babies meals, but she wouldn’t eat it. Bernadette was successful in getting my doggy to eat the healthier foods! She truly has a magical way with dogs. I’m so happy I found her!”
“Hasmik was great. I had never left my baby with anyone. She took such good care of him that he didn't even miss his mom and dad. He is our first (human or otherwise) so we were very nervous. She sent lots of photos and put my mind at ease. She will be my go to sitter.😊”
“First time using this app, and very satified with experience. Candy was great with my dog, she is very caring, she sent update pics of my dog's activities, will definitely use service again in the future, thank you!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover since I was a little girl. I pet sit for family & friends, and i’ve decided to start taking care of other peoples pets because it’s something that I love and enjoy! I am a kitten foster, I work with a rescue and have taken care of 7+ newborn kittens that were going to be euthanized. I love doing this not just as a job but as a hobby ☺️ I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to care for your pets. I am an overthinker so I always think about the worst case scenarios and do my best to avoid anything 😭 Besides that I am on my second year of college looking for a side hustle! If you have any concerns Ive probably researched it 99% of the time, so feel free to ask :) I have 1 cat (indoors & outdoor) and fenced back yard. Accommodations for your pets are available if they are not good with other animals. I have plenty of free time for play time. I enjoy going on walks and exploring nature.
“This was my first experience with leaving a dog with a sitter. Shadow is still in the puppy stage and Susie was very accommodating with pictures and updates. She will definitely be my go to sitter for the next time.”
“My furry babies were well cared for. This was the first time I left my babies for more than a day and Chengcheng gave me peace of mind by sending periodic photos to let me know they were doing good and happy. Will definitely use her services again.”
“We left our baby, Murphy with Amorn & Adam recently. I would highly recommend them if you need a sitter in this area. They were very responsive and provided consistent feedback on how my girl was doing. They sent pictures throughout her stay as well❤️🐾❤️”

“Patricia was absolutely amazing, not only taking care of our dog, but stopping by our house to check in on our cat to make sure she was alright. I wouldn't hesitate recommending Patricia to anyone looking for a reliable petsitter.”
“Armando was awesome. He was already waiting for us outside when we were on the way to drop off Bella and the handoff was great. I could tell Bella enjoyed her stay too because she was happy when we picked her up. Armando also updated us during her stay. We are actually going to book him again for next weekend!”
“Just picked up our FRAPPE . Our boy is very shy and the fact that he was calm and relaxed says a lot about the energy he was around. And we loved that!! We’ll be definitely bringing FRAPPE BACK TO YOU GUYS. and thank you guys for being so mindful and taking our last minutes request 🙏🏼”

About: I'm a young active college student that used to have a dog. He was very large so I'm very aware of how to handle all types. I truly will work on tending to your needs and being a security guard I'm very good with following directions. I truly loving and playful, I'm not one to disappoint. With that being said I'm truly flexible with dogs needs and everyday care, I will put on active wear if we need to run or walk and I'm a protector, so I would treat them like my very own. My mother has taught me that updates are the most comforting thing so if that's what you need to know your dog is safe a text takes 2 min out of our play time.
About: Hi I currently am an aunt to a cute grey tabi who I named Booboo with a sassy personality but grew up with large dogs in the home. I allow pets to show their personality and learn what their habits are in order to give them the best care and attention and make sure they are healthy and happy. I’m great at following any directions and will treat your pets as if they were my own
About: Hi there! I'm Joanna. I have experience in training puppies as well as watching over senior dogs. I can say I have a lot of patience and I understand how some dogs can be timid at first, but no worries I'm here to help bring out their confidence! I have always spent my time with dogs from a very young age. My dogs enjoy it when we go out for a hike, walk, or play dates at the dog park and I can definitely provide that for you if requested. Trust is one of the most important things and I know I will be able to provide that for you and your fur baby. I am a full-time student, but since the classes I'm taking are online, I can still be attentive to your fur baby at any moment! I currently only live with my small-sized dog, Archie. He is super friendly and enjoys going on walks, especially when he walks with other dogs. I understand how important they are in our lives and I definitely consider my dogs as my children so I would treat your pets just as how I would treat mine! I understand how every dog is different and they have different routines, but booking with an experienced dog sitter will ensure they get their needs met while giving you peace of mind!
“Just had my first booking with Jamie to provide care for my cats while I was away and she provided an excellent service. Attention to details and communication were perfect. Will definitely book with her again!”
“This is the second time Hector has cat sit our little guy. We were grateful he was available last minute for 3 visits, and he’s done so well following instructions. He’s also very communicative during the visits and I found that helpful. Definitely keep Hector in mind if you’re needing cat sitting. We have, and have only had super positive experiences.”
“I can’t recommend Lisa highly enough! She is extremely communicative and follows all instructions perfectly. I came home to two very happy cats! Thank you again Lisa”
“It was such a pleasure trusting our cat to such a caring person! She was punctual and attentive, and constantly sent photo and video updates during her visits. Our cat was happy and calm, and we could go about our business with total peace of mind. Highly recommended from the bottom of my heart!”

I am on my 2nd year of college and am trying to have a little side hustle. Hoping to get lots of experience and meet new babies!
“Leaving pets behind is always a nerve-wracking experience. Alexis went above and beyond to make sure our pets were well taken care of. I recommend her 100% and will be booking her again for all of our future pet-sitting needs.”
About: For the past 5 years I've pet sat for family and friends, especially during the summer. Many have suggested I venture out to pet sit on the side because they love how I care for their pets. Pets are part of the family and I understand the importance of a trusting pet sitter. Your pets safety and well being will always be my priority! Hi pet parents! 🐾 To make sure I can give your fur babies the best care possible, here is a quick update on my current availability and my upcoming schedule: Current Work Days & Late-Night Walks On the days you see blocked off on my calendar, I am working my day job from 7:00 AM to 7:30 PM.

“It was lovely to meet Janelle. She was right on time for our meet and greet, stayed long enough to get all important information, asked good questions and was gentle and kind with my senior dog. I am sorry we were not able to work together this time but I do think Janelle would be a good sitter for someone else.”
“Awesome dog sitter. Very nice, aware, attentative. Go over and beyond to assure you your dogs will be taken care of. She not only dropped in but also walked my three dogs at one time and followed all of my instructions for eating schedules etc.”
About: I have been caring for pets (dogs and cats) since I was 5 years old as both a pet owner and sitter. I understand how difficult it can be to be away from your pet family members and will send regular pics and updates to keep you informed about your pet's well-being while you're away. I have always been passionate about researching and finding effective natural solutions to support pet health and am happy to recommend helpful approaches for your pets specific needs at your request. I also have lots of senior dog care experience, and am comfortable administering most meds that don't involve needles. My beloved senior dog with special needs (lost use of hind legs among other things) recently passed away and I miss him but am so thankful for the time we had. I learned a lot about using natural remedies to support senior dog health from him and also learned to walk him with support for his hind end. I am currently able to provide drop in visits for pets in the Mountain Glen I community in Sylmar at this time. If you live in this community and need help caring for your family pet, please reach out so we can arrange a time to meet. Happy to help with dogs, cats and possibly other kinds of pets.

About: I’ve always had dogs/cats throughout my life. I worry about them as if they were my own kid, animals bring so much joy to the world. I believe they deserve to live their best life ! I work throughout the day from 7-3:30 PM. I work down the street from my home, so it is very convenient to come to and back from my breaks. I will care for them as if they were my own. I love animals, I genuinely enjoy their company and believe they are little humans at heart. I will always make sure they are well fed, in right temperatures , and mentally stimulated.

“We were visiting LA and required a last minute sitter due to the hot weather. Edwin and his family were quick to respond and accepted Java last minute! Edwin and his family were so great! We got the updates that we wanted throughout the day and Java looked like she was having fun. Java was spoiled during her stay and even received some homemade dinner. We would definitely recommend you leave your pet with them and we would if we are back in the area.”
“I was looking for a daycare option for my corgi to get used to bigger dogs again after a bad experience with a loose dog. Brasilio gladly did a meet and greet with us and brought his Husky to meet Tucker. He was very laid back with Tucker and very comfortable giving him a chance to get acclimated to his dog. Tucker responded very well so I felt like he’d be in good hands w/ Brasilio. He was also very accommodating when he needed to stay overnight when I had a schedule change and wanted to just pick him up the next day. Tucker has been doing MUCH better with new dog friends thanks to Brasilio!”
“Laura was the sweetest!! Kept me updated throughout the day and sent photos which is so great! Definitely recommend taking your babies to her, they will be in great hands ◡̈”
“Bernadette took great care of Wensley. He seemed really content when I picked him up, and I appreciated her flexibility as far as drop off time. She's a great communicator and kept me posted with pictures. I will definitely be using Bernadette again for Wensley's future doggy daycare needs. Also, he loved the extra little doggy treats Bernadette had made. Such a great little surprise.”

“We had an amazing experience with doggie day camp today! From the moment we dropped our puppy off early in the morning to evening pickup, everything went so smoothly. Alexis and Melisa were incredible at sticking to our puppy’s schedule and made us feel completely at ease. We received lots of updates and adorable pictures throughout the day, which we really appreciated. It was clear our puppy was well cared for, happy, and comfortable. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend Alexis and Melisa!”
“She was lovely and very understanding. My dog usually has a hard time playing with other dogs or even going with other people but she had no problem and Mason looked happy.”
“I highly recommend Natalie as a pet sitter! I was able to book her last minute, and she was incredibly communicative from the start, asking thoughtful questions to ensure compatibility with her own pet. Despite not knowing how my dog would socialize with others, Natalie was willing to give it a try and had a plan to manage any issues. She worked diligently to help him socialize, and it was evident in how quickly he warmed up to her—a rare behavior for him. By the end of the day, he was thoroughly exhausted from all the fun. When it was time to leave, he seemed reluctant to go, clearly having enjoyed his day. Natalie's flexibility and commitment to ensuring a safe and enjoyable environment for my dog makes her an outstanding pet sitter. THANK YOU!”
“My pup is always happy and tired when she comes home from Lillybeth’s home! I am always comfortable knowing that my girl is being taken care of and loved. Will continue to trust Lillybeth with my dog!”
“We are beyond grateful for everything Brenda has done for us. She has always been there for our requests, even the last-minute ones and never makes us feel like an inconvenience. Oakley absolutely loves his walks and outings with her, and it gives us so much peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. I haven’t been able to leave a review every single time we’ve booked her, but we keep coming back to Brenda for a reason. She’s reliable, caring, and truly amazing.”
About: Thank you for considering me to care for your pet!:) I help with walks, feedings, and medication, and playtime of course. I’m really patient with all kinds of pets, from puppies to older dogs. I make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved while they’re with me. I’m currently in online school, so I have plenty of free time to spend with your pets! I’m available for you anytime of the week! I always pay attention to what each pet needs, whether that’s extra playtime, cuddles, or a little space. I want to always make sure they’re safe and comfortable.
About: I’ve spent nearly my whole life around animals, and I genuinely can’t imagine it any other way. Almost 30 years working with horses — training, rehabbing, and caring for them — taught me patience, how to read an animal’s body language, and how to stay calm when they’re not. That instinct carries straight over to dogs, cats, and just about anyone with fur. When your pet is with me, they’re not an obligation on a checklist. They’re company. I’ll keep their routine steady, give them the attention and exercise they need, and send you updates so you’re never wondering how they’re doing. Whether it’s an anxious rescue who needs a gentle hand or a high-energy goofball who needs a real walk, I’ve got them. Acton/Santa Clarita area. Reach out and tell me about your crew — I’d love to meet them. I work from home, so pets aren’t squeezed into the margins of my day — they’re part of it. My schedule is flexible, which means I can match your pet’s routine instead of forcing them into mine: morning walks, midday check-ins, feeding times, all of it stays consistent with what they’re used to. Between my own animals and my work with horses, caring for animals is already woven into every day. Adding your pet to that rhythm isn’t a stretch — it’s just one more member of the crew. I’m around throughout the day to keep an eye on things, so your pet gets steady attention rather than a quick drop-in and gone. In your home, my first priority is keeping your pet’s world exactly as they know it — same feeding spots, same walk routes, same routine. I don’t rearrange things or cut corners. I make sure doors, gates, and yards are secure before anything else, because a lot of trouble starts with a gate that didn’t latch. I keep your keys and access details private and treat your home with the same respect I’d want for mine. With animals themselves, decades of reading horses taught me to watch body language closely — I can tell when a pet is anxious, overstimulated, or not feeling right, and I adjust instead of pushing. New environments and unfamiliar dogs get introduced slowly and on the pet’s terms. I keep an eye on hazards most people miss: food left out, toxic plants, an open trash can, a fence gap. You’ll hear from me with updates and photos so you always know your pet is safe and settled. If something seems off health-wise, I’ll reach out right away rather than wait — and I’ll always have your vet’s info on hand just in case.
“had a great experience leaving my dog with him for daycare! He was very communicative, friendly, and made me feel comfortable leaving my dog in his care. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well taken care of. I really appreciated the updates throughout the day and how attentive he was to my dog’s needs. You can tell he genuinely cares about the dogs he watches. I would definitely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Kayla is such an amazing and communicative caretaker for my 6 year old intact husky Kilo. He’s not always the easiest but Kayla really made him feel at home. Thank you Kayla! We will surely hit you up again the next time we need someone to watch Kilo next time we are in Santa Clarita.”
“My doberman had a wonderful time with Desiree at her home for daycare. She spent a lot of time with him, both indoors and outside - which was great for him to get his energy out. Highly recommend.”
“Amazing! Kindness, warmth and complete kindness and super consideration! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I’m so grateful. I’m a worried mom, as are others, but I was reassured and greatly respected. My puppy was so loved and cared for! I couldn’t ask for more. 100% recommendation.”

“Cielo has been an incredible daily dog walker of our Stevie girl. She has always been highly communicative and has gone above and beyond to check on Stevie when she’s learned how to open our fridge and get into the trash, picking up after her and keeping us notified. Very attentive and sweet!”
“Janelle was SO patient and sweet with our Moo! She was always punctual on time and we loved the photo updates she would take on the walks! This was our first time using Rover, and I am so happy Moo was in such great hands with Janelle. Will definitely be reaching out to her again!!”
About: I have 17 years of experience handling dogs of various sizes, personalities, health conditions and ages. I am comfortable handling medications and meeting pets at their desired energy level. I have fantastic hiking trials and parks near my property which is fantastic for pets who may need socializing or simply have an energetic personality. I have a flexible schedule Monday - Sunday and am open to various pet care services such as overnight stays, quick drop ins, or day sitting. I have a fenced yard and a home located in a safe and quiet neighborhood with great security throughout the property. No animals reside in my home , and I have great parks and hiking trails that are walking distance from my home.
“Denise has been amazing with Stella and Milo. They have lots of energy and she has been great to adapt to their own unique personalities. Stella is 9 1/2yo and started limping one night and she let me know right away sending me videos and pictures. She always sends great updates and pictures which makes my shifts so much better!”
About: I'm a young active college student that used to have a dog. He was very large so I'm very aware of how to handle all types. I truly will work on tending to your needs and being a security guard I'm very good with following directions. I truly loving and playful, I'm not one to disappoint. With that being said I'm truly flexible with dogs needs and everyday care, I will put on active wear if we need to run or walk and I'm a protector, so I would treat them like my very own. My mother has taught me that updates are the most comforting thing so if that's what you need to know your dog is safe a text takes 2 min out of our play time.
About: I have cared for dogs and cats since I was 10 years old. I was taught that the animals eat first because they can’t speak. I enjoy spending time with animals. They are great company I believe petting an animal can lower your blood pressure. Your pets need extra affection while you’re gone. I’m there for that. I am a retired mom of self-sufficient teenagers. My flexible schedule allows me to do overnights and weekends and multi night care. I look forward to these jobs. I’m experienced with crating. I love some dog walking exercise. I also really enjoy spending time in a backyard as long as it’s fenced in and secure.
About: Hi! My name is Alexis, and animals have always been one of the biggest joys in my life. I absolutely love dogs, cats, and animals of all kinds. I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I currently have two dogs and five cats of my own, so I understand the love, attention, and commitment that pets need every day. If you know me, you know I’m the person who gets excited every time I see a dog on a walk or a cat lounging outside. I’m always the first one asking if I can pet a dog, and I never pass by a stray animal without trying to make sure it has food, water, or a little kindness. My love for animals is genuine, and spending time with them never feels like a job to me. Over the years, I’ve also helped care for my own pets when they’ve been sick. Whenever one of my cats or dogs needed medication, special care, or extra attention, I was usually the one making sure they got what they needed. Because of this, I’m comfortable following care instructions and being patient with pets who may need a little extra support. In addition to my experience with animals, I work in healthcare, which has taught me the importance of responsibility, attentiveness, and compassion. I understand how important it is to pay attention to details, follow routines, and provide quality care—skills that I bring with me when caring for pets as well. I’m often the go-to pet sitter for family and friends whenever they need someone reliable to care for their pets. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, medication administration, or simply keeping your pet company while you’re away, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I know that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision. My goal is to make sure your furry family member feels safe, loved, comfortable, and cared for while giving you peace of mind that they’re in good hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! Pet care fits really naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I currently work night shift, which means my days are usually free and very flexible. Because of that, I have plenty of time and availability to dedicate to walking, drop-ins, and spending quality time with pets during the day. I actually love that my schedule allows me to be fully present when I’m caring for animals—I’m not rushing between work or distracted by a 9–5 schedule. I can give pets my full attention, whether that means morning walks, midday visits, feeding routines, playtime, or just keeping them company and making sure they feel comfortable while you’re away. My routine also makes it easy for me to be consistent and reliable with scheduling. I’m used to balancing responsibilities and working odd hours, so I’m very organized and good at sticking to care instructions and time-sensitive routines. Overall, my flexible daytime availability makes pet care a perfect fit for my lifestyle, and I really enjoy being able to spend that time doing something I genuinely love. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my main priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and as relaxed as possible while their owners are away. I always take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions so I can keep things consistent and familiar for them. I approach every visit with patience and calm energy, letting pets warm up to me at their own pace. Whether it’s feeding, walks, litter box cleaning, playtime, or just spending quiet time together, I make sure each pet gets the attention and care they need. I’m also very detail-oriented when it comes to following instructions. If a pet has a specific feeding schedule, medication routine, or special care needs, I make sure everything is done exactly as requested. I have experience administering medications and caring for pets with extra medical needs, so I’m comfortable handling those responsibilities with care and reliability. While I’m in the home, I also make sure everything stays clean, respectful, and as you left it. My goal is not only to care for your pet, but to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands and your home is being respected. Most importantly, I treat every pet like they’re my own—always with love, patience, and attention to their unique personality.

About: Currently have a Terrier Mix doggy of my own. I use to have a Pitbull Mix but he passed away few years ago. I have experienced with senior dogs and can administer oral medications. My availability is very flexible on the weekends, whether it’s mornings, afternoon, or evenings. I can do check-in/ drop-in visits or pet sit for you at your convenience. Please let me know your pet’s feeding, walking, potty routine to accommodate their needs. I can provide you with photos throughout the day or evening! :)
About: I’ve cared for and owned dogs since I was 6 years old. At a young age my parents put me in charge of all pet responsibilities like clean ups, feedings, and grooming. I’ve pet sat for many family members before and my friends like to say I have a way with animals. Dogs have a very special place in my heart. I’m currently a college student and working part time. I do have open mornings most days of the week and what better way to fill that than caring for pets! I have a gated yard and grass for your pets to run and play in. I’m very attentive to what a pet needs and understand what they are asking for.
About: I trained both of my own dogs (a full size Merle golden doodle + chihuahua) and have cared for senior dogs too. I’m patient, reliable and treat every animal like family. Being vegan is part of that same love for animals. I’m at ease with dogs of any size and experienced in handling bigger, stronger breeds safely. I’m an independent jewelry designer and founder of my brand so my schedule is flexible and can work around pretty much any schedule. My weekends and holidays are open as well. I care for pets in their own home, keeping their routine consistent, feeding on schedule, medications on time, and enrichment throughout the day. I’ve house sat for friends’ dogs, including but not limited to pit bulls, greyhounds, shih tzu’a and mixed breeds, always prioritizing their safety and comfort while respecting their home.
“Anna did an amazing job with our senior dog. She sent daily pictures and updates and It was so nice not to have to worry about anything while we were away. Thanks so much, Anna! I will be in touch for when we go out of town next. Thanks for the sweet plant and card as well. You are the best!”
About: I’ve always had dogs/cats throughout my life. I worry about them as if they were my own kid, animals bring so much joy to the world. I believe they deserve to live their best life ! I work throughout the day from 7-3:30 PM. I work down the street from my home, so it is very convenient to come to and back from my breaks. I will care for them as if they were my own. I love animals, I genuinely enjoy their company and believe they are little humans at heart. I will always make sure they are well fed, in right temperatures , and mentally stimulated.
“I went on a trip with my fiancé and needed someone to walk my dog Milo last minute. Although it was a rainy day, Lissette was more than willing to walk my dog and she was so sweet and caring with my baby. She took such great care of him and made sure that he was fully walked and happy!! I 100% recommend Lissette!! I am definitely booking her again in the future.”

“Basilio is truly amazing. From the very first moment and in a complicated situation for us, we felt that Basilio was the right person to entrust our Zoe in her first experience without us. Basilio always had the best comments and advice for better care of Zoe, he made an effort to provide her with an adequate environment so that Zoe felt at home. He even gradually tried to improve the way Zoe socialized with both people and dogs. In addition, he always tried to maintain regular communication to inform us how Zoe was doing, always sending us photos and videos of her adaptation. I can say without fear of being wrong that Zoe found her angel in Basilio and someone we definitely recommend with our eyes closed. Basilio will always go the extra mile to give your furry children the best care and attention they deserve! He will ALWAYS be the best decision for your pet's care! Basilio, we are infinitely grateful for everything you have done for both Zoe and us and we will definitely trust you again to take care of our beloved Zoe and we hope to be able to meet again so that Zoe doesn't miss you too much! Zoe says: "Greetings to Uncle Basilio"!”
“Laura and Brian were amazing caretakers of our dog over a long weekend and saw to it he was well taken care of. We really appreciated all the photos and regular communication as well. Thanks again!”
“Alexis and her husband took great care of my 4-month old pup, they were communicative and very easy to talk to! I would definitely feel comfortable boarding my dog with them again.”
“Poppy loves staying with Kevin! He takes such great care of her, and sends me pictures and updates. She has a great time, comes home exhausted 😂, and I get priceless peace of mind. Thank you!”
“Hasmik was great. I had never left my baby with anyone. She took such good care of him that he didn't even miss his mom and dad. He is our first (human or otherwise) so we were very nervous. She sent lots of photos and put my mind at ease. She will be my go to sitter.😊”
“First time using this app, and very satified with experience. Candy was great with my dog, she is very caring, she sent update pics of my dog's activities, will definitely use service again in the future, thank you!”
“Nice space for my dog to stay and run around.. very clean . They have gates and fence to keep them in side. The family is welcoming and love dogs .. he has been 3 times”
“Armando was awesome. He was already waiting for us outside when we were on the way to drop off Bella and the handoff was great. I could tell Bella enjoyed her stay too because she was happy when we picked her up. Armando also updated us during her stay. We are actually going to book him again for next weekend!”
“Just picked up our FRAPPE . Our boy is very shy and the fact that he was calm and relaxed says a lot about the energy he was around. And we loved that!! We’ll be definitely bringing FRAPPE BACK TO YOU GUYS. and thank you guys for being so mindful and taking our last minutes request 🙏🏼”
“Annabelle and Ben were outstanding! They communicated clearly throughout the process - meet and greet, drop off, and pick up. During boarding we got lots of photos and updates...sooooo many walks for our girl Mabel. Got along great with their dog and had a blast! They were all wonderful!”

“Thank you so much to Renata and her family for looking after our 1 year old Chihuahua-mix named Sydney. We are not used to leaving her since she is so young, so I was very sad and anxious. It was our first time using Rover and any service like this. Reneta kindly offered a free meet-and-greet so Sydney could briefly get to know her house, yard, and pets. While we were on a 4-night vacation, we got tons of updates and pictures from Renata! Renata was kind enough to let Sydney sleep in her bed, and I am sure Sydney sometimes woke her for some late-night potty times. Renata also mentioned Sydney got better at playing and socializing with her own dogs, as well as the dog she cares for during her doggy daycare. I would 100% recommend her, and I certainly intend to use her services again soon! It's so nice to know as a new dog mommy that I can have the freedom to travel and truly know my baby is taken care of. Sydney seems happy too - its as if her eyes ar saying "Wow! I had a great time!" She had her only little adventure while we were adventuring! THANK YOU, RENATA!”
About: Reliable and caring pet sitter with experience feeding, walking, playing, and providing loving attention to your fur baby while ensuring their safety, comfort and happiness. Available Friday through Sunday with flexible availability during the rest of the week. Happy to accommodate different schedules whenever possible to meet your pet care needs. I live in a quiet, spacious apartment with a dog park and lots of room for walks around the property. I lost my own dog about a year ago, so pet sitting has been such a sweet way for me to still get all the puppy love.
“Kristian was absolutely amazing with Milo! From the start, he was communicative, kind, and clearly cared about making Milo feel comfortable. He kept me updated throughout the stay with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Milo came home happy, well cared for, and it was obvious he had received lots of attention and love. I could tell Kristian really treats every dog like they’re his own. He’s officially my go-to sitter, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pet!”
“Desiree is the kindest person you’ll ever meet. She will be kinder and more loving to your pet than anyone else. My dogs used to get anxious when they stayed at other sitters. They would cry after leaving them and I felt really bad and guilty for not being with them for a day or two. Now that I’ve met Desiree I feel safe and guilt free that such a gentle soul is taking care of them. My dogs get really excited when we’re on our way to Desiree’s house. They love to see her and start running around to show how happy they are. It’s like being at the park just playing non-stop for hours. She’s sends pictures and videos of my pups regularly to assure me that they’re having a great time. Desiree is high class. 5 starts always!”
“Breanna and her boys took great care of Koda. He is a husky and is in the middle of blowing his winter coat, I can tell they brushed him often. I would definitely leave Koda with them again. He was walked often and played with daily. It is so nice to be able to go away and not have to worry about our furry family member.”
