“Zhao and her family took good care of Socrates. I chose them because their house is similar size like mine and my cat prefers bigger space. I was given frequent update of my Socrates with pictures and videos.”
“My 2 dogs came home from Peter watching them and they were so happy/worn out from the playing and walks! I trusted them with Peter no problem and received photos and updates while away. We will definitely rebook in the future. Great experience!”
“Lexie was well understood and well cared for. I couldn’t have asked for more! Our dog is a tricky one with senior issues but Trisha and her family knew just how to address her difficulties and make her happy and comfortable. She fit right in with their family! I’m very grateful to Trish and I highly recommend her.”
“We absolutely loved the care Sony received! Navneet treated him with so much love, patience, and attention, as if he were her own dog. It gave us great peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. Sony was happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout his stay. We truly appreciate the updates and the genuine affection she showed him. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care! 🐾💕”
“I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Fiona!! She kept me updated with regular tests about my pup, which gave me so much peace of mind, and she truly made him feel right at home! The moment I picked him up, I could tell he was so happy and comfortable in her care. It means everything to know your pup is in such great hands I highly recommend her!!”
About: I have experience pet-sitting a variety of pets of all ages. I am able to care for dogs, birds, rodents, rabbits, and reptiles. I love all animals! Your pet's wellbeing, happiness, and healthiness is my number 1 priority. My pets are pampered and yours will be too in my care :) I work from home, so I am free to petsit all day long! I have a lot of yard space for dogs to roam and lounge around and I have space to care for several pets at a time. I currently have one dog myself (an elderly French bulldog). Daily dog walks are also a part of my routine. I keep a very clean home, but I have lots of places for dogs to cuddle up on couches or beds as well. I offer pet boarding, so I can watch your pet at my home. In my care, pets are never caged or crated (unless explicitly asked to be). I allow them to roam free around my home and backyard. Dogs in my care are able to get regular walks and lots of love and cuddles. I am also able to watch birds, rodents, reptiles, and rabbits. I love absolutely all animals, although unfortunately I am unable to petsit cats due to the safety of my other animal. You can rest easy knowing that your pet will be in the absolute best care with me! My home is completely safe and spacious for your pets.
“Daisy did an amazing job caring for our dogs while we were out of town. From the moment we picked them up, we could tell they had a great time-they came home happy, sleepy (LOL), and clearly well-loved. They got plenty of play time with Daisy's kids and their dog, which made it feel like a true family environment. Knowing our dogs were treated like part of the family meant everything to us and gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Thank you so much Daisy and family for taking such great care of our pups! We highly recommend her and would absolutely book again!”
“Kosar was a fantastic sitter! She took excellent care of our dog, including multiple daily walks and frequent photo updates. We highly recommend her and definitely hope to use her services again in the future.”
“Judy did an excellent job taking care of our beloved puppy Nabi while we were on vacation. She showed genuine care and attention to Nabi’s needs, ensuring she was well-fed, exercise, and loved throughout out time away. Judy’s professionalism and dedication gave us peace of mind, knowing our furry family member was in good hands. We highly recommend her services and are grateful for her outstanding care!”
“Svetlana took great care of my dog Louise! She sent daily updates and was very flexible with pickup and drop-off times, which I really appreciated. I’ll definitely book with her again for future boarding.”
“Diana took great care of my cat Oliver. She sent me daily pictures/videos to show me how he’s doing. Oliver’s usually very reserved and takes around three days to come out of hiding when with a new sitter but with Diana he was coming out the first night already. He got along really well with her cat Spikey as well. They were having a blast chasing each other all night. I highly recommend to book her as your sitter.”
“Nicholas and Sarah took amazing care of our Golden Retriever. They asked all the right questions beforehand, which immediately gave us a great feeling. Throughout her stay, they sent multiple pictures and videos, and we could tell she felt right at home. They’re warm, thoughtful, and truly caring sitters. We’ll definitely reach out to them again!”
“Dakota and Jaclyn were great with our dog, Princess. They sent pictures of her during our time away and gave us updates periodically about her stay, which we were happy to hear. The whole process of working with them was easy and smooth. We would definitely leave Princess with them again.”

“Xue and her family were great! They provided a safe and loving home for Koda while we were away. She was professional and also proactive in providing us updates and pictures. I will for sure go back to Xue for any future boarding needs.”
“Thank you Pat and Lopa, for accommodating us last minute and taking good care of our dear Mocha. Communication was great and appreciated the updates and photos. Would use them again !”

“Samantha was absolutely wonderful! This was the first time I’ve left my newly diagnosed medical kitty so I was a bit nervous but within her first visit, Samantha put my mind at ease. She was on time, provided such thorough updates and sent wonderful photos. I could tell that my cats were well cared for and truly enjoyed her company. I will definitely be booking her again and highly recommend to all!”
About: When I was young, my extended family owned cats who I absolutely adored. As I got older, i volunteered at a shelter where i socialized with the cats to get them used to human interaction. I now regularly cat sit for a local family who owns four cats that i treat like they are my own! They have strengthened my love for cats:)
“I was so nervous to use Rover because I’ve only ever had my close friends watch my kitties. But no one was available so I found Ayla from her reviews & I’m so glad I did!! She’s so wonderful and works with so much care. Very grateful that I found a local cat sitter now for any future needs. Thank you, Ayla!”
“I am very happy with the way Komal took care of my dog. She sent pictures and kept me informed of how my dog was doing. Komal is very friendly and professional. Highly recommend!”

We have a huge yard at my house and I live on a private road in the country, I keep my dog on a leash outside.
“Mitchell did an amazing job taking care of my cats. He is extremely responsible, reliable, and genuinely caring. He followed all feeding instructions carefully, kept everything clean and organized, and made sure my cats were comfortable and well taken care of. He also provided timely updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. My cats can be shy, but they warmed up to him quickly, which really shows his patience and love for animals！”

“As always, Dakota took fantastic care of our kitties while we were out of town. We’ve been happy clients since 2024 and honestly wouldn't trust anyone else. I especially love his prompt responses and the consistent report cards—the photos always put our minds at ease! We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.”
“I met Surjit in the Peace Corps and since day one she’s shown a tremendous quality of being a dependable friend. She’s charismatic, she’s thoughtful, and she’s an extremely loving caretaker. When my dog Darwin first met her, his eyes lit up and his pupils went wide with love for her as they continue to do so every time they get together and forget I’m even there. She’s one of the very few people who I trust enough to take care of Darwin and they continue to bond in a way I don’t really see with other people since, even though my dog is very cute, I think he knows it and can be a bit antisocial and aloof. But Surjit sees him and fully accepts him for who he is, as I see her do with all pets in her life. I happily endorse Surjit because I know that she does not just see your pet as a dog or a cat, she sees them as individuals with their own personalities, fears, habits, wants, and needs. I happily endorse Surjit because I know that she will, without a doubt, go above and beyond and take care of your pet like she takes care of her own family and friends.”

“We booked a sitter through Rover for the first time for a long time period and were a little nervous about leaving Missy alone, but Xiaoyu was absolutely wonderful. From the very beginning, she made sure Missy felt comfortable, loved, and well cared for. Xiaoyu followed all the instructions we discussed and truly went above and beyond to make sure Missy didn’t miss us. After just a few visits, it was clear that Missy looked forward to seeing her, which gave us so much peace of mind. I would highly recommend Xiaoyu to anyone looking for a dedicated, trustworthy, and caring sitter—and a true friend—for their fur baby. 🐾💛”

“We had a wonderful experience starting with our initial meet to Sunayana and her family welcoming Shelby( our gsd mix) to her home.She was welcomed and taken care of with patience.We appreciated timely updates and beautiful pictures.”
“First off: Although our past sitters have been good, we once used a sitter who had multiple dogs inside and outside the house (and who knows if there were other dogs, in other rooms). This made the house feel more like a kennel, than a home. ...Now, imagine getting not only an entire house, but also a whole family, looking after your one dog. This is what you get with Mike and Rachna. They want to do a good job, for one dog at a time. To me, that's a pretty good deal! I was treated with lots of pictures, and more importantly, with peace of mind. As a result, we--and my dog--all had a great time this past weekend.”
“We’re so grateful for the last minute help watching Kona! He had such a great time hanging out with Navneet and her dog. It’s clear he was well cared for and loved. He can’t wait for his next playdate!”
“Absolutely amazing. I needed a last minute sitter for my pup and Fiona and Yuan were nice enough to accept my booking. Got dates throughout the day on how he was doing and when I picked him up he looked like such a happy pup! Rocket had a blast!”
“I cannot recommend Amisha enough! She provided great care for my dog. I absolutely loved the regular communication and the cute pictures shared throughout the day. It gave me total peace of mind to see my pup so happy and well cared for while I was away.”
“I will definitely be going back! Bandit LOVED being with them. I knew they’d be good sitters when they walked out and the kids and Shawna had researched my dogs breed (Frisian Stabij) that was an immediate sigh of relief and it only went up from there. They were communicative, sent pictures, and so trustworthy. Would recommend !!”
“Xue was able to take care of my puppy and meet on very short notice! My pup had the opportunity to play with other dogs and she sent pictures and videos throughout the day :) thanks so much!”
“Wish I could give 1000 stars or even more!!! Sarah and Nicholas are heaven sent. They live in a decent home in a very quiet and safe complex. Provided me photos and videos multiple times when I was biking in Angel Island. They give my pup seizure and thyroid pills as instructed and as a dog mom I could sense my dog was happy and had a wonderful time when I picked him up. Thank you so much Sarah and Nicholas. Looking forward to see you soon🥰🙏🏼🐶”
“Pluto came back home so happy, relaxed, and full of smiles after spending the day with Dylan and his pups! 😊.. Dylan kept us updated throughout the day with photos and messages, so we knew how Pluto was doing.. Thank you again for taking care of him—we really appreciate it!”

“I had the pleasure of hiring Elizabeth to take care of my furry friends, and I couldn't be more delighted with their service. From the very start, her professionalism and genuine love for animals were evident. Her punctuality and reliability were impeccable, providing me with peace of mind knowing my pet was in capable hands. Not only did she meet expectations, but she also formed a wonderful bond with my dog. I strongly recommend Elizabeth to anyone seeking exceptional care for their beloved canine companion.”
“Dakota and Jaclyn were outstanding! They were available on very short notice, which was a huge help while we were away. They took the time to understand Beaux’s routine, asked thoughtful questions, and made sure they understood every aspect of his care before getting started. They were responsive to updates and adjustments, communicated well throughout the visit, and gave us confidence that Beaux was in great hands. It’s clear they genuinely cared about doing the job right, not just completing the visit. We truly appreciated their professionalism, reliability, and attention to detail. We would absolutely book with Dakota and Jaclyn again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for dependable, compassionate pet care.”

About: I've grown up with dogs and have had the privileged of training and raising several different breeds. From Golden Doodles, to Chesapeake Bay Retrievers, I have worked with highly energetic breeds to lay down and sleep all day lazy bones dogs. I've been blessed in my life to have pets of all kind be receptive to me, I've never met a pet that had an issue with me! I'm currently looking to change jobs out of teaching, which I've been doing for several years. I am looking forward to spending some time outside with the pups! I take my own dogs for walks every single day, and have been doing so for years! My dogs have the highest priority of care from me with strict eating schedules and planned time for exercise and play!
“It’s very hard to write a review for a Dog walker. For the reason, I am not here to see how my dog reacts when she is picked up. I could tell from the photos she was exhausted from her walk, which is a great sign. What I liked best about Samantha she responded in a timely matter regarding accepting a walk with Abbie. She was on time to do our meet and greet. Definitely would use her again please if you need a dog walker please book with Samantha.”
About: I have always been in the childcare and education field, and the last few years has brought me to the world of dog sitting! Dogs tend to become very comfortable with me right away! I wake up early for walks, and your pup will receive about 3 per day, including lots of ball and toy tosses and tons of love and attention! I live in a condo with a spacious living room for plenty of play and to keep crates and beds. Walks are always leashed. Pups are allowed on the couch and in bed. Snuggles are very important!
“We needed someone to stop by and walk our 8 month old pitty while we were away for the day, and we’re so glad we found Jessica! She’s super down to earth, professional, and you can immediately tell how much she loves animals. Jessica stopped by a couple of days beforehand for a meet and greet, which really helped our pup get comfortable with her and gave us a lot of peace of mind. Everything went smoothly on the day of the walk, and our girl was happy and well taken care of. We felt completely comfortable trusting Jessica with our pup and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and easy to work with. We’ll absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Aubrey has been walking our dog Buddy for several months and is amazing! She truly cares about Buddy and is very trustworthy, responsible, timely, and a great communicator. She always provides pictures after each walk and we know Buddy is in great hands with her. You will not regret hiring Aubrey!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, starting with Daisy, a cocker spaniel I got back in second grade. She lived to a happy old age and even had puppies. I kept one, a cockapoo named Lucas, and he’s still with me today along with his sister Bella. They’re almost 13 now, so I know senior dogs well, plus all the energy and walks that younger ones need. Over the years I’ve dog sat and house sat for family and friends, with everything from small dogs to big breeds like a Kangal and a pit/bulldog mix. I’m comfortable with all kinds, though small to medium dogs are my sweet spot. I’m also happy to handle the little stuff, like ear cleaning, that some breeds need. Whether your dog is a puppy, full of energy, or slowing down a bit, they’ll be in calm and caring hands with me. My schedule shifts week to week since I’m balancing work and school, but overall it gives me a lot of flexibility. I’m generally free most mornings and have stretches throughout the day to check in, walk dogs, or spend real time with cats rather than just rushing through visits. For house sitting, I plan my hours around your pet’s routine, not the other way around. I’ve had pets my whole life, so a calm and safe environment is second nature to me. For dogs, that means sticking to their walk and feeding schedule and being attentive during play and downtime. For cats, I’m careful about doors and entry points since I know how easily they can slip out, and I keep an eye on plants or anything toxic that curious pets might chew on. Either way, I follow your home’s rules exactly as you’d want them and pay attention to the small things that help a pet feel safe and comfortable with someone new around.
About: I grew up with two dogs, so I’ve been surrounded by wagging tails, happy zoomies, and endless cuddles since I was little. Now I’m also a proud cat parent—which means I’m equally comfortable with playful pups and independent little feline bosses 😄 I genuinely love spending time with animals and getting to know their unique personalities. Whether your pet wants a long walk, an energetic play session, a quiet companion, or lots of belly rubs, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work fully from home and have a flexible schedule, so pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m able to adjust my day around feeding times, playtime, walks, litter box care, and check-ins. For drop-in visits, I’ll coordinate with you in advance to choose a time that works best for both you and your pet. I’ll carefully follow your instructions and your pet’s usual routine, including feeding, fresh water, playtime, litter box care, or any other needs. I’ll also make sure your home is secure before I leave and send you updates and photos, so you know your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
About: I have grown up with dogs most of my life and have experience taking care of cats, rabbits, turtles, and fish. My experience with dogs includes: training, dog walking, and administering medication. I have a 5 1/2 year old mini double doodle named Kota and trained him myself. I pride myself on providing quality animal care and want to make sure your pet is safe and happy during their time with me. Currently I am taking a sabbatical and have plenty of time to take care of your pup! Depending on your preference and your dog's needs, I can provide plenty of physical activity and mental stimulation. I am happy to take care of your pet in your home and do daily walks. Please let me know if your pet is comfortable around other dogs. If they're not, I can easily leave my dog at home while I focus on your pet's needs.
About: I have over 3 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including my own husky, Nate, who requires daily structure, exercise, and attention. I’m very comfortable handling high-energy and strong breeds, and I focus on keeping dogs safe, engaged, and well-exercised during every walk. I treat every dog like my own and make sure they feel comfortable, secure, and cared for at all times. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available for walks throughout the day. I’m consistent and reliable, and I can accommodate both regular weekly walks and one-time bookings. I make sure to plan my day around the dogs in my care so they get the time and attention they deserve. Safety is always my top priority. I stay attentive during walks, avoid unsafe areas or situations, and make sure each dog is secure on leash at all times. I’m experienced with handling strong and energetic dogs, and I stay aware of my surroundings to keep them safe. I also provide updates when needed so you can feel confident and at ease while your dog is in my care. Bonus: Your dog might end up walking with my husky Nate (if a good fit), who loves making new friends 🐺
“Julia took care of my pair of large dogs making sure they walked early due to extreme heat. It was a perfect match for their personalities and her style. I am grateful for her care of my dog kids when I was away!!”

“Zhao and her family took good care of Socrates. I chose them because their house is similar size like mine and my cat prefers bigger space. I was given frequent update of my Socrates with pictures and videos.”
“Lexie was well understood and well cared for. I couldn’t have asked for more! Our dog is a tricky one with senior issues but Trisha and her family knew just how to address her difficulties and make her happy and comfortable. She fit right in with their family! I’m very grateful to Trish and I highly recommend her.”
“I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Fiona!! She kept me updated with regular tests about my pup, which gave me so much peace of mind, and she truly made him feel right at home! The moment I picked him up, I could tell he was so happy and comfortable in her care. It means everything to know your pup is in such great hands I highly recommend her!!”
About: I have experience pet-sitting a variety of pets of all ages. I am able to care for dogs, birds, rodents, rabbits, and reptiles. I love all animals! Your pet's wellbeing, happiness, and healthiness is my number 1 priority. My pets are pampered and yours will be too in my care :) I work from home, so I am free to petsit all day long! I have a lot of yard space for dogs to roam and lounge around and I have space to care for several pets at a time. I currently have one dog myself (an elderly French bulldog). Daily dog walks are also a part of my routine. I keep a very clean home, but I have lots of places for dogs to cuddle up on couches or beds as well. I offer pet boarding, so I can watch your pet at my home. In my care, pets are never caged or crated (unless explicitly asked to be). I allow them to roam free around my home and backyard. Dogs in my care are able to get regular walks and lots of love and cuddles. I am also able to watch birds, rodents, reptiles, and rabbits. I love absolutely all animals, although unfortunately I am unable to petsit cats due to the safety of my other animal. You can rest easy knowing that your pet will be in the absolute best care with me! My home is completely safe and spacious for your pets.
“Daisy did an amazing job caring for our dogs while we were out of town. From the moment we picked them up, we could tell they had a great time-they came home happy, sleepy (LOL), and clearly well-loved. They got plenty of play time with Daisy's kids and their dog, which made it feel like a true family environment. Knowing our dogs were treated like part of the family meant everything to us and gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Thank you so much Daisy and family for taking such great care of our pups! We highly recommend her and would absolutely book again!”
“Svetlana took great care of my dog Louise! She sent daily updates and was very flexible with pickup and drop-off times, which I really appreciated. I’ll definitely book with her again for future boarding.”
“Nicholas and Sarah took amazing care of our Golden Retriever. They asked all the right questions beforehand, which immediately gave us a great feeling. Throughout her stay, they sent multiple pictures and videos, and we could tell she felt right at home. They’re warm, thoughtful, and truly caring sitters. We’ll definitely reach out to them again!”
“Thank you Pat and Lopa, for accommodating us last minute and taking good care of our dear Mocha. Communication was great and appreciated the updates and photos. Would use them again !”
“Megan did a fantastic job caring for my dog, Rocky. She was a great communicator throughout the stay, providing updates and making me feel comfortable that he was in good hands. Most importantly, Rocky seemed to genuinely enjoy his time with her, which says a lot. I would absolutely recommend Megan to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter, and I would gladly book with her again.”
“Monisa and David were top-notch dogsitters for our 10 yr old, 20 lb., Yorkie mix, Cody. Monisa kept us informed throughout our absence, and we never worried about Cody. He loved their doggy door that led to their large, grassy and shaded backyard. We hope to book with Monisa and David in the future.”
“Another 5 star stay for our Judah. We couldn't be happier with the depth of care provided. It is so wonderful to be able to relax while away from our pup knowing he's having an absolute blast. We loved seeing all the videos and photos and continue to greatly appreciate Carolyn creating a "home away from home" for our puppy.”
“What a great family and dog sitters!!!!! The kids know hope to care and lead dogs. Hoada and Fawzi are warm, calm and welcoming. The trust and confidence in dog care is solid. A great spot for dog care!”
“Shawna did a wonderful job watching our puppy for 4 days over Thanksgiving. She communicated daily and sent pictures of my pup while we were away. I would definitely recommend her for dog boarding and doggie daycare.”
“We recently went on a Spring break trip and entrusted our male Goldendoodle Ollie to the care of Rachna and Mike for an entire week. From the moment we dropped him off it was clear he would be treated like family. Ollie was well-fed, enjoyed walks twice a day and made friends with their playful cats. We received constant updates and pictures throughout our trip. We are immensely grateful for Rachna’s diligence in ensuring Ollie received his supplements and vitamins. As we prepared for Ollie’s stay, Rachna proactively sent us a detailed checklist outlining everything that Ollie would require. At the drop-off she meticulously went over all the items in the checklist. This ensured we didn’t forget anything crucial and created a smooth handover. It was heart warming to see how Ollie’s animated and happy expressions in the pictures. He was truly enjoying his time away from us. We are grateful to Rachna and Mike for their exceptional hospitality, genuine care and kindness they provided Ollie during his stay.”
“Thank you Dyan for the high level of care and attention provided to Leo! Appreciate the regular picture and video updates, so it feels like I’m not far away. I have the utmost trust and confidence for future dogsitting 👏”
About: I have been a proud dog parent to my German Shepherd, which gave me hands-on experience caring for a large, intelligent, and high-energy breed. Through these years, I handled daily walks, feeding schedules, grooming, training reinforcement, and lots of playtime and companionship. Caring for a German Shepherd taught me the importance of structure, patience, exercise, and positive reinforcement. I understand how much love, attention, and consistency dogs need to feel safe and happy. I truly love dogs and treat every pet as if they were my own — with care, responsibility, and plenty of affection. Since I work from home, I’m able to spend most of my day with the pets I care for, giving them plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I work from home, so dogs receive constant supervision, attention, and care throughout the day. My home has a spacious 12,000 sq. ft. backyard, including a separate fenced area for safe outdoor play and exercise. I provide a calm, secure, and loving environment where every dog is treated like family. 🐾
“Hong and her family were wonderful with my older pup. They wanted to know all about his routine and needs and they sent multiple messages a day to let me know how he was doing. He was happy and relaxed when I went to pick him up a couple days later—a wonderful sign! I will definitely book again!”
About: I have three rescue fur babies that live their best lives and consider my clients to be an extended part of my little family. I even have a sign on my desk that says, “I work hard so my dogs can have a better life.” I am a health care leader who recently relocated to California and I am available to care for your pet Monday-Sunday. I provide services in the Danville and San Ramon area. **House Sitting:** For overnight stays, I require a brief meet-and-greet beforehand to ensure it’s a good fit for everyone. I also ask that the space I’ll be using (bedroom and bathroom) be prepared with fresh linens for my stay. I’m very comfortable in lived-in homes, but I do ask that the environment be generally clean and safe so I can focus on providing the best care for your pet. If I feel that the setup isn’t a good fit, I may respectfully decline the booking. I’m a retired United States Air Force veteran and take pride in being reliable, detail-oriented, and respectful of your home and pets. I’m happy to provide a current background check, credit check, drug screening, and references upon request. I also encourage you to review my client feedback to get a sense of the care and consistency I provide.
“Maryse took great care of Mocha! We got updates and pictures throughout the weekend. We could tell Mocha was well loved and taken care of. We will definitely be reaching out again for future trips!”
