“Hi I'm Christopher Braig and I am a middle school music teacher in South Central and Jazz Musician. I have only been in LA two years and I often go to see my daughters in St. Louis. I must insist on telling this was the best experience we have ever had on Rover bar none. Shardae took the time time to frequently and in detail tell us of how our old man toy poodle Oreo was doing. And she did in such a fun way it made me and girls laugh. Thank you Shardae I will be doing some traveling this summer and we hope you are available. CB”
“Christy was great! She made Barry White feel right at home. We were able to enjoy ourselves at our event and rest easy knowing he was in loving hands. Thanks Christy and Patrick!!”
“Kyle was an excellent dog sitter! Our dog was sorry to be picked up when it was time for her to go home. She stayed with Kyle while we were away on vacation for five nights and enjoyed lots of cuddles with him. I could tell that she felt comfortable and well taken care of.”
“Great host for our dog!! Very good communication with frequent updates and even pictures and videos. We know he had a good time. We would book with Tatiana again.”
“Yiyu was extremely accommodating with our last minute booking. She was extremely communicative with sending updates and pictures. We felt PeeWee was in GREAT hands which allowed us to have a worry and stress free time away. We will definitely be booking with Yiyu again! Thank you for taking care of our baby!”
“Alice was great with my Frenchie. She slowly introduced the resident dogs outside to avoid any territorial behavior. She confirmed the feeding details and gave me updates, videos, and pictures throughout his stay. Alice was flexible with drop off and pick up times. You could tell she genuinely enjoyed all of the dogs that boarded with her and her pack. I hope to have my Frenchie board with her again.”
“Jane was very accommodating for a last minute booking. She sent me pictures of Benjamin daily as well as walked him. She provided a cozy, clean bed for him. She responded within minutes whenever I messaged her. She is on point and I would rebook with her. She and her son are very welcoming and sweet.”
“So grateful for Emily and Maple! Emily was great about sending me updates and info on Cookie while I was away. She handled all of my dogs medical info great. My baby is blind and deaf so I really appreciate the updates and love she received. Cookie and Maple got along well and became buds!”
About: A Little About Me 🐾 Ever since I was young, I’ve had a strong connection with animals, especially dogs. They have always been a constant part of my life, helping me develop a deep understanding of their behavior, communication, and social interactions. I am attentive, experienced, and always focused on maintaining a safe and positive environment for every dog in my care. I closely monitor all interactions and am proactive in addressing any unsafe behavior, whether playful or otherwise. My home features a secure property with tall fencing around the entire perimeter 🏡. The space is divided into separate areas to accommodate different playgroups, from small dogs to extra-large breeds, with plenty of shade and room to relax and play. Behavior Assessment 📋 For first-time guests, I typically require a behavior assessment before their stay. However, I understand that emergencies and last-minute situations happen, and I can be flexible when needed. If your dog has not completed an assessment beforehand, I will conduct one at drop-off. Introductions are done gradually and carefully, starting with my dog, Maya 🐕, before meeting the rest of the pack. If your dog is not comfortable in a group setting, they can be accommodated separately with their own indoor room and outdoor space. Before Your Dog’s Stay Please let me know: • Does your dog have any allergies? • Is your dog up to date on all vaccinations? • Is your dog currently taking any medications? Additionally, please share anything else that may help me provide the best care possible, including: • Resource guarding tendencies • Escape or fence-jumping behaviors • Eating non-food items or foreign objects • Previous incidents involving dogs or people • Anxiety, fears, or special handling needs Please also let me know about any special dietary requirements. If your dog eats wet food or requires refrigerated items, I have a full-size refrigerator available for storage. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable experience for every dog in my care. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out—I am always happy to help! This is my full-time calling 🐾. I am available on weekdays, weekends, and holidays. There are occasional moments where I may need to step out for errands or appointments, but my family is always there to help with the dogs' care. Thank you for understanding 🙏. Pick-Up & Drop-Off 🚗 Our pick-up and drop-off times are flexible. We can accommodate as late as 11pm and as early as 5am if needed, including drop-offs the night before if you have an early departure — all at no extra cost 🙌. We also accommodate longer-term stays. The longest we've had a dog with us was around 8 months. No matter the length of the stay, we send regular updates — whether it's a text, photos, or videos — so you're always in the know. We offer a hybrid style of play — both free play and structured play 🐾. Negative behavior is calmly corrected, ensuring a safe and positive environment for all. Dogs sleep inside in a fully air-conditioned space ❄️, provided with beds and blankets, Dogs comfortable with pack life are welcome to free roam in a home-like environment 🏡, while higher energy dogs are separated as needed to ensure proper rest and health for all, fresh water is provided at all times. Safety is a top priority 🔒. Our property is fully enclosed with a 6ft fence & there is always someone present— keeping everyone happy and safe!
“The Love and Care that was Given to my kids was phenomenal. I was updated with pictures and messages daily without even asking and my pups got along so well with the other dogs, 🐕 I recommend this sitter a thousand percent and I will definitely be back !”
“Lori was amazing with our boy! She kept us updated during our trip and remembered every detail about his care. We had such peace of mind and could relax knowing he was with her - and he had fun too! It was the best experience all around.”
“Mollie was such a great dog sitter to Dexter , she gave me updates && sent me a lot of pictures. Highly recommend. Will definitely be rebooking. Thank you.”
“Angelica is THE most WONDERFUL pet sitter EVER!!! I cannot say enough about the care that our dog. I have received texts, lot of pictures, and videos while we have been gone updating me on their (Angelica, her husband and her son) activities. I can honestly say that I do not worry about Toffrey at all while we are gone. We were gone for almost three weeks, and I could enjoy my trip knowing she was there taking care of and giving the best of care to my dog. There was a thorough interview before she took the job and everything was covered to ensure the best quality care would be given to my dog and I am surprised she is given more than I expected. All I can say is WOW, I am so totally impressed! I need never look for any other pet sitter ever again. I have found the VERY BEST!!!! ***** Five stars plus …”

“Aileen was so great with my cat that she was pet sitting :) My cat isn't the most friendly, but he did well with Aileen! She knew exactly how to care for him. She sent many pictures every day, which made me feel very comfortable that she was watching my little guy while I was away. Aileen was always quick to respond and was very helpful. I would 100% recommend her and will be asking her again in the future!”
About: Hi! My name is Maimu. When I lived in Japan, I always had dogs and cats as pets, so caring for them feels very natural to me. I provide calm, attentive care and follow your pet’s routine closely—feeding, fresh water, playtime, walks, and regular potty breaks. I’ll keep your home tidy and communicate clearly, with photo updates so you feel at ease while you’re away. My availability for walks is currently mainly: * Morning: 6:30 AM–8:00 AM * Evening: 5:00 PM–7:00 PM On some days, I may also be available during the day—please send me a message and I’ll let you know my availability. My schedule can vary depending on childcare, so please contact me in advance to confirm dates and times. Safety is my top priority, and I always supervise interactions and follow your instructions carefully. I can also run with your dog, so jogs/runs are very welcome! I know it can be stressful to trust someone else with a beloved dog or cat—they’re family. I take time to build trust with both you and your pet, and I’ll do my very best to provide thoughtful, individualized care. Pet care works well with my weekly routine because I organize my schedule around visits and walks. I’m currently available from 6:30–8:00 AM and 3:30–7:00 PM, and I always do my best to reply promptly. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I carefully follow your instructions and your pet’s routine, and I keep doors and gates secure. I always use a leash outdoors unless you tell me otherwise, avoid risky situations, and monitor body language for stress. In your home, I keep the space clean and tidy, refresh food and water, and send photo updates. If anything seems unusual, I contact you right away.

About: I have experience caring for young cats and truly enjoy understanding their unique personalities and needs.

About: We’re a family of two and proud cat parents to our two beloved 10-year-old cats. Animals have always been an important part of our lives, and we understand how much love, care, and attention every cat deserves. I’ve been caring for cats since I was 10 years old and have more than 30 years of experience as a cat owner. Over the years, I’ve cared for cats with a wide range of personalities, needs, and temperaments, and have developed a deep appreciation for cats of every breed and age. Because I work from home, I’m able to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. Whether your cat enjoys playtime, affection, quiet company, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for during their stay. Our home is clean, quiet, smoke-free, and occupied only by my wife and me, creating a calm and stress-free environment for your cat. For safety and comfort, guest cats stay in their own private room, separate from our cats unless otherwise requested. Your cat will receive: • A private room for a peaceful and secure stay • Fresh food and water provided daily • Litter box cleaning and waste removal 3 times per day • Comfortable bedding, fan, and cozy resting areas • Daily monitoring, attention, and companionship • A clean, tidy, and loving home environment We know how important it is to have peace of mind when leaving your cat in someone else’s care. Our goal is to treat every cat like family and provide the same level of love, patience, and attention that we give our own. We look forward to meeting you and your feline family member! 🐾💕
About: I’ve only cat sat a mutual friend cat for a little over a year at this point but I’ve also worked in an animal shelter focusing with the kittens and feral cats! So I’ve dealt with cats with many different kinds of personalities and can assure you I can provide excellent care of you baby
“"I can’t recommend Leiah enough! She is professional, down-to-earth, friendly, and an excellent communicator. From our meet and greet, it was clear she truly loves dogs and knows how to engage with them. She is punctual and provides great updates (and awesome photos!) which gives me total peace of mind while I’m away. If you're looking for someone trustworthy who will treat your dog like her own, Leiah’s the needle in the haystack you are looking for!"”
“Ashley was able to take care of our 3 cats last minute. She was quick to respond and super nice. She made sure the cats had everything they needed for the weekend and sent updates with pictures. We’d definitely book with her again!”
“This was the second time we asked Kevin to take care of our cats Gin and Tonic, and he again exceeded expectations! Kevin not only is very diligent with the basic care like food and water but also goes above and beyond to provide the most fun and joyful times for the cats. We loved to read the comprehensive updates he sent — we could picture every single detail he described. Not to mention all the great pictures and videos! We will for sure ask him to keep taking care of Gin and Tonic whenever another trip comes up. Thank you again, Kevin!”
About: I grew up with cats and understand their unique personalities and needs. I respect their independence and understand their body language. I know when to give them space, never force interaction, and I allow them to warm up to me at their own pace. I’ve included a photo of 'Mr. Cat", who I fostered for a few months. He now goes by Theodore and is living his best life. A funny story—he had this little toy mouse, and I I would throw it and he would run back, retrieving it and setting it down in front of me. He literally played fetch, which was insane. But he was a very unique cat, and each cat has their own personality. I’m excited to get to know who your cat is.
About: I've been surrounded and take care of dogs since I was a kid. Years and years of experience (bathing, feeding, special care, long hikes, puppies, senior care) My golden retriever crossed the bridge early this year, (January of 2026) I’ve raised him since he was 8 weeks old, he stayed with me over a decade. And, my roommates always have cats, so I’m very familiar with both! 😊 I’m the definition of ‘Pet Person’, I truly enjoyed what I do and I have an immense amount of love and respect for all animals, specially pets, I consider them family ❤️ I'm working from home this days, so your pet will get that extra attention. I'm very flexible with my schedule. We can work something convenient for both parts. My dog crossed the bridge early this year, (Jan ‘26), so is just me when I do petsitting. At the moment, I’m not offering boarding.
“Angelica is an attentive and caring sitter. She gave twice a day medication to my senior cat and gave him lots of love! Dexter also seemed comfortable with her. Thanks for everything! I would recommend hiring Angelica!”
About: I have a senior dog of my own and treat her like my own child. I make sure to give the dogs I care for stimulating activities, essential exercise, time outside to ground themselves in the grass, frequent potty breaks, and a healthy and nutritious diet. Given their short lifetime and unconditional love, I believe they deserve to live a fulfilling life and provide that for any pet I take care of. I am able to accommodate requests, but please ask with reasonable notice preferably in advance. The weekends are most flexible and some holidays may vary. Maintaining the pet's regular schedule for feeding, exercise, and playtime helps them feel secure and comfortable in their familiar environment. Engaging pets in stimulating activities and providing a cozy space with their favorite toys ensures mental and physical well-being. Consistent updates to the client, including photos and messages, offer reassurance and peace of mind. Delivering attentive and affectionate care, along with respecting the client's home, creates a positive and loving experience for both the pet and the client.
“Micah did an excellent job of caring for my fur babies! Pictures every time she was over with updates. Also, the best tell tell sign my babies were happy is if I come home and they are relaxed and not crying to see us. And this was the case. Highly recommend! 💜”
About: What truly sets me apart is my nearly 20 years of hands-on experience in veterinary medicine, with a special focus on feline care. As a veterinary technician who has worked in a Fear-Free certified clinic—and who is Fear-Free certified myself—I’m trained to recognize and minimize stress in cats, creating a calm, safe, and positive environment while you’re away. I understand that cats are incredibly sensitive to changes in their surroundings and routine. That’s why I take a gentle, patient approach tailored to each cat’s personality—whether they’re shy and need space, or social and love attention. My veterinary background allows me to confidently monitor for subtle changes in behavior or health, administer medications if needed, and care for senior or medically complex cats with ease. With me, your cat isn’t just being “checked on”—they’re being cared for by someone who truly understands feline behavior, prioritizes their emotional wellbeing, and brings professional medical experience into every visit. You can relax knowing your cat is in calm, capable, and compassionate hands.

“If you’re in need of someone to care for your dog, Alice is the person I trust the most! She is my go-to sitter whenever I’m out for a day or an entire vacation. In August, she took him in for 3 weeks while I was in the Philippines and as much as I missed him, I knew he was in wonderful hands! She’s caring and attentive. I really appreciated the updates she would send. In his most recent stay, she babysat for a day and I never had to worry! Again, if you’re looking for someone you can trust, it’s Alice!”
“Kyle was quick to reply to a last minute dog sitting request, and I’m so grateful he was able to help. He was flexible, accommodating, and very responsive throughout the entire process. This was my first time putting my puppy in daycare, but he reassured me and made me feel confident that my puppy was in good hands. He clearly has experience with puppies and even puppy socialization. I’ll definitely be coming back!”
“Summit loved hanging out with Jasmine for the day! She was very communicative and I appreciated the proactive meet and greet. Would definitely use her again and recommend her”

We specialize in small dogs that are friendly with other dogs, since getting along with our two Shih Tzus is very important. We take our dogs on walks every day and average around 10,000 steps, so your pup can expect plenty of walks, playtime, and attention.

We have a safe, comfortable home with two Shih Tzus. We only accept small dogs that get along well with other dogs, and we prefer a meet-and-greet beforehand to make sure everyone is comfortable. We’ll follow your dog’s normal routine and treat them like part of our family.
“Shardae was really a pro in taking care of our precious Tasha! There’s a magic on her that even my dog is so much attached to me and my husband she just went straight to Shardae without looking on us. She feels like it’s going to be great day even without us. When we pick her up I know she had a fantastic day because she just sit quietly in the car and nap. So calm and happy baby. Thank you Shardae! You’ll be our go to when we go back to LA area.”
“Our fur baby Rosie loves visiting Beverly’s place! She gets to run around their large yard all day and play with her friends. Beverly makes sure all the dogs play well with each other. Highly recommend!”
“Our pup Eevee loves her daycare with Angelica! She's happy to see her when we drop her off and always so tired afterwards. Angelica even gave her a bath and she smelled so good after, even gave her bows! Angelica takes good care of her and is thoughtful too, gave us little gifts and takes pictures throughout her stay. We're happy to find a sitter we and Eevee can feel comfortable with.”
“The best! Thank you! Lilly was so well taken care of, was safe, got to run around, rest, play for days haha also got updates and photos. Lilly even loved them and usually is super shy in the beginning but warmed up right away!”
About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including puppies and senior pets. What sets me apart is my patience, attention to detail, and ability to adapt to each animal’s unique needs and personality. I’ve helped train puppies with basic commands and potty routines, and I’m also comfortable administering medications or providing gentle care to older pets with mobility issues. I treat every pet like family and focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment whether I’m walking, feeding, or simply spending time with them. I also keep pet parents updated with regular photos and messages, so they feel reassured while away. Pet care is something I truly enjoy, so I make time for it every day. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to care for pets in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings, depending on what’s needed. Whether it's daily walks, feeding, playtime, or overnight stays, I’m able to adjust my routine to prioritize the pet’s needs. Taking care of animals is not just a task for me—it’s something I look forward to and naturally fits into my everyday life. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s. I always make sure the environment is clean, calm, and secure—no small objects or hazards around, doors and gates are checked, and routines are followed to reduce stress. I take time to learn each pet’s habits, medical needs, and personality so I can provide personalized care and maintain consistency. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow their instructions closely—feeding times, walk routines, or any specific care preferences. I also keep them updated with regular check-ins, photos, and notes to build trust and give them peace of mind. In my own home, I only take in pets I know I can safely accommodate, and I gradually introduce them to the space to make sure they feel comfortable. Whether I’m in their space or mine, I treat each pet like my own—with patience, love, and full attention.

“Natalie was awesome with Mac....he didnt actually want to go. Also appreciated that on a short notice how professional she was with finding out about Mac's needs. Definitely will be calling on her again!!!!”
“Kim took care of my furbaby Asher for an entire week. After meeting quite a few other sitters, I was so relieved to find Kim because I started questioning if I was way too picky. It’s something you can just feel and tell when you meet a potential sitter. I liked Kim immediately. She has a genuine care about her. I could tell she loves dogs by her first interaction with Asher and that was important to me. I’m sure I will book her again in the future. Thanks so much Kim for taking care of my furbaby! Very much appreciated🫶”

“After our longtime dog walker notified us that they were moving, my husband and I scrambled to find someone trustworthy and reliable to help walk our dog.

Aileen has been wonderful with our pup! She is kind, communicative, and gives great updates of our pup and we will continue to use her services.”

About: I’ve been working with animals for over 25 years, including 10 years as a veterinary technician and as a behavioral dog trainer. As a former vet tech, I’m comfortable administering medications (oral, topical, injectable), monitoring special-needs pets, and caring for both senior dogs and tiny puppies who need a little extra attention.

Whether your dog needs structure, gentle reinforcement, behavior training, or just a patient friend, I’m confident, capable, and committed to their safety and comfort. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine.

I strive to offer a concierge-style experience for my clients, with reliable communication, thoughtful updates, and a level of detail-oriented care that goes beyond the basics. Because I’m not balancing another full-time role, I’m able to prioritize consistency, availability, and a calm, unhurried approach—something pets truly benefit from. My goal is to make your life easier and your pet’s experience as comfortable and seamless as possible, while giving you complete peace of mind knowing they are my top priority. I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable when they can stay in their own familiar environment, surrounded by the sights, smells, and routines they know best. My goal is to provide compassionate, personalized care in your home while maintaining the routine and level of attention your pet is accustomed to. Each pet is unique, so I tailor my visits to meet their individual needs—whether that means daily walks, playtime and enrichment, medication administration, feeding routines, litter box care, or simply providing companionship and reassurance while you’re away. With nearly 20 years of veterinary experience, I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, including seniors and those with medical needs. I take pride in offering a concierge-style pet care experience with thoughtful communication, detailed updates, and a commitment to treating every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving not only reliable care, but genuine love, attention, and understanding in the comfort of their own home.
About: I've been a lover of all creatures since I was in diapers! From ants and beetles, to snakes and lizards.. dogs, cats, horses and really anything else you can think of. I used to pretend like I was Dr. Doolittle (still do my family says!) Dogs have always held a special place in my heart. There aren't very many animals that will wait for you all day long just to greet you with that unconditional, emotional lick or wag of the tail when you walk through the door every single day. I have been caring for dogs since I was 8 years old. We had our own to walk, feed, bath and love but I also took care of family members & neighbors pets. I always said I would be a veterinarian but those cards didn't play out just right. So, since then I've taken every opportunity I can find to foster, adopt, volunteer and care for dogs & cats. As an adult, I have raised 3 puppies. An Australian Shepard, a Rottweiler & a German Shepard. I've adopted 3 dogs from the shelter. All of which required significant medical care/treatment. And also adopted 2 cats from the shelter. I'm comfortable and confident with administering medication and wound care. I am also able and willing to care for animals who may need a little extra help. Our days begin early. Usually around 6a. My daughter is in school from 8a-235p each day. My son walks to and from school each day. I am currently working limited hours (from home). Pet care works into my daily routine very nicely as I am able to be available for pet visitors pretty much any time. Walks, yard play, food, watering, medication, etc are tasks I'm able to mange with limited distraction. I have a very large, fenced in yard with grass! Our fences are over 6 feet tall. We have three fur babies of our own. One black German Shepard (3.5 years old) and one German Shepard/Husky mix (1 year old). One American bulldog mix (4 years old). They will be keeping your pets company. We do not crate our dogs but we can happily do so for you if that's what you and your pet(s) would like. We have two children. Daughter who is 11 and LOVES dogs and cats so much! And our son is 13. He is also a big softy for fur babies. We have two cats. One is strictly indoor and the other is indoor/outdoor. Neither cat care too much for the dogs and usually just go about their catlike business. We have an above ground pool that we do not allow the dogs to swim in and don’t allow them access.
About: Ever since I was a child, I’ve loved animals deeply. I remember sneaking my little chihuahua Feisty into my room every night. That deep love for animals has never changed. I’m incredibly empathetic, passionate, and I truly believe animals deserve to be loved, understood, and cared for. I know it’s stressful to find someone you can trust with your pet, and I want to be that person for you. My experience spans more than ten years, caring for a vast variety of animals from dogs, cats, rabbits, turtles, and so much more.. As a Registered Behavior Technician, I understand positive reinforcement and how to address undesired behaviors while maintaining your dog’s dignity. My own dog Georgina knows numerous commands and responds beautifully because of these techniques. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and genuinely invested in making sure your fur baby feels loved and happy while you’re away. I’m available for house sitting, potty break visits, and dog walks. I hope the photos I added on my profile brought you some giggles. I'll be sure to capture those candid moments of your fur babies along with detailed updates. I'm currently working part time, so I have plenty of availability for pet care. I offer housesitting, dog walking and daily visits. Let me know what times works best for you and I'll confirm when I can accommodate. I offer housesitting, daily visits for potty breaks, and dog walking. I adhere closely to all your detailed instructions and care preferences to ensure your pets safety and comfort.
About: I don’t have a lot of experience taking care of other peoples pets but I am a fast learner. I grew up on a farm and most of my experiences are of taking care of the animals on the farm. In recent years, I have walked my son’s dog, Mochi, twice a day. I truly enjoyed it because dogs have a special way of demonstrating universal love. The dog in my profile picture was Charle. He got us thru COVID and he transitioned at the age of 15. He was the only pet that I loved who had a place in my home. I am a school teacher off for the summer. My weekends are busy with volunteer services for my church. I am available Monday - Friday for the months of June, July and August. Presently, I am offering dog walking services only. When I meet your pet at your home, I will attempt to connect with your pet to make sure we trust each other before going out for the walk.
About: 10+ years of experience. Large breeds, seniors, puppies, and special needs—I love them all! 🐾 I currently have a big brindle goofball and used to have the sweetest little black cat before getting my pup. I provide walking, in home check-ins, and house sitting services. Whether your fur baby is a dedicated couch potato, a fetch fiend, or a little bit of both, I’d love the chance to meet them and provide the specialized care they deserve. Remote worker. Part-time graphic designer. Full-time pet lover! I don't just fit your pet into my routine; my day revolves around them. With a love for daily walks and outdoor exercise, I provide the consistent supervision and companionship they need. Whether it’s extra cuddles between calls or long walks in the fresh air, your pet’s care is my priority. Pet/ House Sitting: I have a remote job so I could be home with your pet most of the time. I’ll do my best to maintain as much routine as possible — keeping the same playtime, sleep schedule, bed arrangement, etc.

“Hi I'm Christopher Braig and I am a middle school music teacher in South Central and Jazz Musician. I have only been in LA two years and I often go to see my daughters in St. Louis. I must insist on telling this was the best experience we have ever had on Rover bar none. Shardae took the time time to frequently and in detail tell us of how our old man toy poodle Oreo was doing. And she did in such a fun way it made me and girls laugh. Thank you Shardae I will be doing some traveling this summer and we hope you are available. CB”

About: A Little About Me 🐾 Ever since I was young, I’ve had a strong connection with animals, especially dogs. They have always been a constant part of my life, helping me develop a deep understanding of their behavior, communication, and social interactions. I am attentive, experienced, and always focused on maintaining a safe and positive environment for every dog in my care. I closely monitor all interactions and am proactive in addressing any unsafe behavior, whether playful or otherwise. My home features a secure property with tall fencing around the entire perimeter 🏡. The space is divided into separate areas to accommodate different playgroups, from small dogs to extra-large breeds, with plenty of shade and room to relax and play. Behavior Assessment 📋 For first-time guests, I typically require a behavior assessment before their stay. However, I understand that emergencies and last-minute situations happen, and I can be flexible when needed. If your dog has not completed an assessment beforehand, I will conduct one at drop-off. Introductions are done gradually and carefully, starting with my dog, Maya 🐕, before meeting the rest of the pack. If your dog is not comfortable in a group setting, they can be accommodated separately with their own indoor room and outdoor space. Before Your Dog’s Stay Please let me know: • Does your dog have any allergies? • Is your dog up to date on all vaccinations? • Is your dog currently taking any medications? Additionally, please share anything else that may help me provide the best care possible, including: • Resource guarding tendencies • Escape or fence-jumping behaviors • Eating non-food items or foreign objects • Previous incidents involving dogs or people • Anxiety, fears, or special handling needs Please also let me know about any special dietary requirements. If your dog eats wet food or requires refrigerated items, I have a full-size refrigerator available for storage. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable experience for every dog in my care. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out—I am always happy to help! This is my full-time calling 🐾. I am available on weekdays, weekends, and holidays. There are occasional moments where I may need to step out for errands or appointments, but my family is always there to help with the dogs' care. Thank you for understanding 🙏. Pick-Up & Drop-Off 🚗 Our pick-up and drop-off times are flexible. We can accommodate as late as 11pm and as early as 5am if needed, including drop-offs the night before if you have an early departure — all at no extra cost 🙌. We also accommodate longer-term stays. The longest we've had a dog with us was around 8 months. No matter the length of the stay, we send regular updates — whether it's a text, photos, or videos — so you're always in the know. We offer a hybrid style of play — both free play and structured play 🐾. Negative behavior is calmly corrected, ensuring a safe and positive environment for all. Dogs sleep inside in a fully air-conditioned space ❄️, provided with beds and blankets, Dogs comfortable with pack life are welcome to free roam in a home-like environment 🏡, while higher energy dogs are separated as needed to ensure proper rest and health for all, fresh water is provided at all times. Safety is a top priority 🔒. Our property is fully enclosed with a 6ft fence & there is always someone present— keeping everyone happy and safe!
“Mollie was such a great dog sitter to Dexter , she gave me updates && sent me a lot of pictures. Highly recommend. Will definitely be rebooking. Thank you.”
“Angelica is THE most WONDERFUL pet sitter EVER!!! I cannot say enough about the care that our dog. I have received texts, lot of pictures, and videos while we have been gone updating me on their (Angelica, her husband and her son) activities. I can honestly say that I do not worry about Toffrey at all while we are gone. We were gone for almost three weeks, and I could enjoy my trip knowing she was there taking care of and giving the best of care to my dog. There was a thorough interview before she took the job and everything was covered to ensure the best quality care would be given to my dog and I am surprised she is given more than I expected. All I can say is WOW, I am so totally impressed! I need never look for any other pet sitter ever again. I have found the VERY BEST!!!! ***** Five stars plus …”
“John and Miyabi were so sweet with our dog. They sent us several pictures and updates each day. I am so happy to have had a safe place for my dog. This is only the second time I’ve used rover.com so I am very satisfied with the experience.”
“3rd time booking with Gabrielle! She keeps us updated daily with photos and has great communication. Pick up and drop off are always smooth. Loki is excited everytime he gets to stay with her! Will definitley keep booking with Gabrielle!”
“Bethany took great care of our dog Bella. She texted us several pictures and updates while we were away so we knew everything was going well. Would highly recommend Bethany for your dog boarding needs.”
“Shane was awesome with our 11 month old Lab, Bella! She is definitely a true puppy in every sense of the definition, and Shane was wonderful with her. We got tons of videos and photos throughout the week that she stayed over. Shane even dropped her off for us, which was super helpful. I know Bella loved her stay because she slept by the front door the night she came home (which she has never done). I'm pretty sure she was waiting for Shane to come back lol. Will for sure contact Shane for future stays!”
“Marilyn took such good care of our pups! She sent pics and video, and they had a blast. (Even our cranky older dog haha) We were gone for 2 weeks and knew they’d be in good hands from the moment we did our meet and greet. Will definitely be bringing them back next time we need a sitter.”
“Sylwia is AMAZING. My dog absolutely loved her. She kept me posted the entire time she had my baby girl, and sent me pictures and videos of all the fun stuff they were doing together. She kept Hera’s routines, made sure she had enough exercises, etc. I can’t say enough good things about her, honestly! :)”
“There’s a reason Brian has such great reviews. He’s amazing. He had a great connection with my dog, who is usually quite aloof with strangers. I could tell she was comfortable and happy with him- which is such a great relief when leaving your dog in someone’s care. His communication and updates were perfect, and he was very flexible and accommodating with the drop off and pick up times. I like that he takes the time to do a meet and greet before taking on a client. I will definitely book Brian again.”
“Gina was a wonderful caregiver to my almost 14 yr old Boston terrier for the weekend while I was away moving. She was able to take Lena on short notice which I’m very grateful to her for. My dog really enjoyed her stay!”
