“Excellent experience! Our dog had a great time while he was there, and he was very well cared for. We also received many lovely photos that helped us miss him just a bit less 😉. We Highly recommend Brayden and Noel!”
“Barsha was so great with our little guy. She’s very intentional with her care and kept us posted on our French bulldog’s progress. Our little guy came home so happy and we will definitely use Barsha’s services again. Book her!”
“Sofia and Jonathan are the nicest family. We were gone for a long time on an international trip to visit family in France. And it was a relief to know that our dog and bunny were well taken care of. They spent 17 days with them and we got plenty of updates and photos. Would use them again and recommend them to anyone.”
“Lyra has stayed with Ulunma multiple times and we feel secure knowing she is in good hands each time. Ulunma pays attention to Lyra’s basic needs as well as any changes in her day to day habits. She’s communicative and is great about sharing pictures while we’re away. Lyra will be back for more stays!”
“Natalie was amazing. She took such great care of my dog and kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that my dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. I really appreciate how reliable, kind, and attentive she was. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pet. Thank you so much! 🐾🩵”
About: Looking to connect with owners of sweet, gentle dogs! We have two small dogs who are very playful but not pushy, and we'd love to find compatible dog friends. I'm hoping to build a trusted circle where we can help each other with dog sitting when traveling. I can host up to two dogs at a time. Message me if you're interested! 🐾 Self-employed at home. I walk my dogs 2 times during the day and 1 more time before bed. A few times a week, I bring them to Civic Park to socialize with other dogs before dinner. Once a week, I drive them to a nearby nature reserve for a hike. I feed them breakfast and dinner. Same if not more care will be given to your doggies. There are two fenced dog parks in my building that are treated daily with enzymatic chemicals. If your dog has sensitive skin, I will not bring them there to potty.
“This is Loveleen's second time with Casey and I have no worries at all whenever Loveleen is under Casey's care for doggy day care. I highly recommend Casey's services as he is very communicative and is flexible on drop off and pick up timing. This will not be Loveleen's last time with Casey!”
“Kamila was THE best puppy mama to Kaen during our weeklong vacation! She made his first time away easy, comfortable, and calming for him. Kamila was extremely responsive to Kaen’s needs and would update me daily on his activities with her. I especially appreciated how intentional, loving, and dedicated Kamila was with Kaen while under her care - he was by her side all day/night long!! I will definitely hire Kamila again in the near future - she is simply a GEM!”
“This was our first time using Rover, so we were nervous. But it was a great experience! Daisy spent four nights at Ruth’s house and, as the only dog, got lots of TLC! Thank you, Ruth, for keeping us posted and for the great pics - and for loving Daisy while we were away! She’ll be back, for sure!”
“Chris took good care of Mia, who seemed very comfortable with the stay. We appreciated the daily updates as well as Chris' friendliness and positivity. Would not hesitate to have Mia stay again.”
“Stefanile is a great sitter. She was incredibly accommodating and patient in dealing with my dog—a rather shy, introverted, and somewhat challenging dog. Given her deep understanding of canine personalities and traits, as well as her extensive experience as a sitter, I was able to entrust Chaco to her care with peace of mind. She sent updates and photos, making communication very easy. Thank you!”
“Absolutely awesome job watching Linguini! Pictures and updates were fantastic, I could tell he was having a good time and he was well taken care of! He currently has allergies and she made sure he got his special food and allergy meds! Will definitely use for next time!”
“Maria & Kevan along with their wonderful girls were amazing petsitters for our Labrador Retreiver, Louie. From the moment I dropped off Louie and met them, I could tell he was going to be completely comfortable, well-cared for, and loved for the duration of his 10 day stay with their family. Receiving a photo or two of Louie each day was amazing and it was heartwarming to see Louie so happy getting lots of snuggles, playtime with his toys, neighborhood walks, and peaceful naps at their feet. Thank you so much to Maria & Kevan and their daughters for making Louie feel like a part of their family! Louie can't wait to visit again!”
“Jess was responsive and commucative throughout. She did a great job taking care of my pup - he came back very tired, like he just spent a week at camp. Thank you for taking him to the dog park and the many photos and videos - really appreciate it. 10/10, would absolutely recommend.”
“Styles loves his time at Peter's house.. So much play time. The back yard is doggy paradise. Peter went out of his way to pamper my dog and even supplemented his food when I underestimated. Five Stars!”
“Eun took great care of our dog while we were out of town. I knew he had a good time because there were no complaints on the car ride home. He just came back very calm ☺️ Eun also sent me pictures and updates during his stay, so nice because we really miss him when we’re away. Highly recommend Eun!”
“Santiago was very accommodating and made my dogs feel right at home! Kept their schedule consistent and lives near a nice walking path. One thing that really made him stand out is that your dog(s) are the only ones he and his family watch. Where I’ve been to some sitters and they have like 4-5 different dogs there being watched so they can make more money. So with him only watching ours I know they were looked after and it was great to get pics of the pups while traveling. 10/10 would reccomend!”
About: I’ve had pets since I was a kid. Unfortunately, my pet (who was the love of my life) passed away. She was a high-needs dog with extreme separation anxiety and leash aggression, so I have skills to handle that type of pet. From then until now, I have focused on raising my children. I miss the company of animals, and I am wanting to be around them! My kids love animals, so your pet would get lots of cuddles while you’re away! I’m a stay-at-home mom of three. Two of my kids are in school, and the other stays home with me. We have lots of time on our hands to attend to the needs of your pet! If boarding at my home: I have two yards that are completely fenced in. I also have three animal-loving children. We let animals on the furniture. Our home is their home ☺️ If dropping in while you’re away or doing walk: My days are fully open starting at 9am. With kids at home, things get busy again at 5pm. Drop-ins would need to be between those hours. I can also visit again after my kids go down for bed which is usually 7:30pm. My child loves stroller walks, so hopefully your pet does too! Having a pet myself, I know how important it is to make your baby feel as calm and regulated as possible while you’re away. Putting them with a loving and responsible caretaker while you’re away is not a decision taken lightly. I hope I can be that for you and your family.
“Ciao was amazing! He sent videos and updates on banksy. Looks like banksy was having a wonderful time. I will definitely be using ciao again and always! Your dog is in great hands with him. Very happy with ciao!”

“Elena was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of our cat, Luka, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We really appreciated how thoughtful she was about checking in and keeping us updated. I loved receiving the daily photos she captured and her updates always made me smile. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Luka's well-being and made sure he was happy, comfortable, and well looked after. We highly recommend Elana to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter and look forward to rebooking with her in the future! Thank you, Elena!”
“This is our second time booking with Sarah and she was great. Our kitty loves her. She was always within the promised visit time, sent plenty of pictures and left everything clean and tidy. Thank you!”
“Catherine is very attentive and communicative. We felt so comfortable leaving town knowing she was there to spend time with our cat, Captain. Catherine handled every task, and made sure to send lots of great pictures. We would definitely book her again.”
“Adaley took care of our cat while we were on vacation for a week. She sent daily updates with photos, which I really appreciated. It made us feel at ease knowing our cat was in good hands, allowing us to fully enjoy our trip.”
“Samantha took such great care of our two kitties while we were gone for 4ish days on vacation! Between the check-in updates and the multiple photos, we didn't have to worry one bit about how they were doing. Even our super shy boy, Jynx, who some people think is only a myth due to never seeing him for years, came out on Samantha's first visit and made an appearance each time. The next time we need a sitter again, Samantha will be our first choice.”
“Xiaomin did a fantastic job caring for our two cats while we were away. She was responsive, send photos, and took care of all required tasks. Our cats seemed super happy when we returned home. 10/10!”
About: My name is Kelly and I’ve been caring for pups for 5 years, and behavior coach and trainer for 2. My passions focus on giving each pup the best experience, whether that’s through enrichment games, cuddles, or extra walks. You’ll feel like you never left with plenty of pupdates I’ll send your way. In my free time, you’ll find me training at the rescue and helping pups find their furever homes or working with kids. I provide a hands-on experience with my pups I care for, anticipating that I’ll work with various ages or needs. I can be as involved as you need me. Unfortunately my pet boardings are on hold for now. I currently provide house sittings, walks, and drop-ins. When house-sitting, I always treat my clients home as if it’s my own and more, always making it better than I found it. I want owners to return home feeling refreshed with clean and calm home.
“Vicki was amazing taking care of my two elder guinea pigs while I went out of town. Unfortunately, one of my guinea pigs fell ill right before I left and was left with six various medications. Vicki was great at following instructions, asking questions, and letting me know about any behavioral changes. I was definitely thrown a lot of curveballs, and Vicki handled them like a champ. I would definitely recommend!”
“Tatiana was great with my two kitties! She was really attentive to them and even got our shy boy to warm up to her. I loved getting all the videos/pictures and updates and it was a relief to know they were in such good care!”
“I can't say enough good things about Asuka! She took care of my two kittens during a drop-in visit and followed their very detailed and admittedly long feeding instructions to the letter. Communication was excellent throughout, and she even managed to get my shy kitten to come out of his shell, a rare feat. Having had some very difficult experiences with sitters in the past, including one that ended in a heartbreaking loss, it's not easy for me to trust anyone with my pets. While she didn’t know this, her professionalism, calm demeanor, and attention to detail went a long way in reassuring me. She was punctual, respectful of my home, and even took the time to clean their dishes after the visit. Truly grateful to have found someone so reliable and kind. Highly recommend!”
“Rachael was punctual, great with communication, and took cute photos of our boys. She seems to have a lot of experience and wasn't intimidated by our younger dog that can be a handful. We look forward to having her come again!”
About: Hi, I’m Melissa! I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have my own Goldendoodle Bentley, who’s 6. We love beach days, long walks, and hanging out with friends. Since my last review in 2023, I took a bit of a break but I’m excited to be taking on new clients again. I’ve continued caring for dogs in my life whenever friends and family are out of town, and I can’t wait to meet your pup! I am currently working remote so my schedule is pretty flexibility and I’m available on most weekends! My pup and I have a relaxed routine so it will be easy to adapt to yours :) For house sitting, I’m respectful of you, your home, and your pet’s needs so we can arrange care that you’re comfortable with. Let’s chat more!
About: Hi! I’m Efraim, a lifelong dog lover based in Walnut Creek. I’ve cared for everything from tiny Papillons, Maltese and Shih Tzus to large breeds like German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, Swiss Shepherds and Golden Retrievers. I’m equally comfortable with puppies, seniors, and dogs with special needs or behavioral challenges. I live locally and prioritize clients close to home for reliable service and minimal travel time. I offer walks, drop-ins, multi-dog walks, overnight house-sitting, and transport services — as an experienced professional driver, I can safely transport pets (or owners and pets together) to vet appointments, groomers, or airports. What I Offer: • Dependable walks and drop-ins 7 days a week • Multi-dog or single-dog walks for any size breed • Overnight stays / house-sitting with respect for your home and routine • Pet transport (airport runs, vet visits, errands) • Clear updates with photos and Rover cards • Special focus on busy professionals and seniors needing regular help Why Choose Me: • Local to Walnut Creek so can quick, reliable response in the area • Experienced across all sizes and ages of dogs • Professional driver — safe transport available • Certified in Pet First Aid & CPR (basic) with advanced training underway • Deep family roots in the area and strong personal references I would be happy to meet you and your pet for a free Meet & Greet to discuss your needs and discuss a schedule that keeps your dog healthy and happy. Availability: 7 days a week (morning through early evening) Service Area: Walnut Creek and nearby neighborhoods Intro Pricing: Half-hour Walks $20–22 · Extended Walks $30–35 · Drop-Ins $15–18 · Overnights $65–85 Contact me through Rover to schedule your Meet & Greet today! I have just joined Rover and am taking on new clients from 5:00am to 7:00pm, and I am generally available 7 days a week. I welcome clients with a regular repeating schedule, short notice requests, and periodic "substitute pet care" needs when your regular walker or sitter is unavailable. Safety is always my number one concern. Let's review all of your pet's special needs and requirements together and develop a plan that works best for them and for you. I have many strong local personal references I can provide. For walks, I invite you to track my location (through my mobile phone) so you know where your pet is at all times. If you are looking for a pet-sitter at your home, my references will assure you that I will treat your home with care and respect — and your pets with loving attention. For overnight sits, I bring my own inflatable mattress and linens so yours remain untouched.
About: While most of my experience is with dogs, I'm excited to get into the cat business as well by offering cat visits during your vacation. What sets me apart is the thoughtful, personalized care I provide at every stage of a pet’s life. I cared for my own dog, Charlotte, for 10 years—from puppyhood through her senior years. After every visit, owners receive photos and a written update, so they can feel confident their pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

“Excellent stay! Easy to communicate with and so grateful that they had availability last minute when my baby Moo needed a safe place while my fire alarms were worked on. Thank you! Will use again!”
“Highly recommend Nicole. She was super flexible and accommodating with drop off and pick up. Spartacus would perk right up when he saw her - I could see he was in good hands. Loved the pictures and updates too!”
“I reached out to Mia last minute as our regular sitter fell threw. She quickly responded to my request and was great with our maltipoo pups. They were calm and happy after we picked them up. Thank you, Mia!”
“We were worried about leaving our new puppy for the first time, but Alisha set up a Zoom so we could meet her the day before and it was immediately obvious that she would take great care of our little guy. Then, when we dropped him off, he practically jumped into her arms and made himself at home in the space she has set up which is perfect for doggy guests. She sent us updates and pics throughout the evening. We are very glad to have Alisha nearby for the future. I especially appreciate her depth of knowledge -- she is a great resource for those of us who have limited experience with raising puppies!”
“Namrata, took care of my Kona. Kona is usually with me and very attached and takes a moment to warm up. Namrata kept me updated and sent me pictures. She was also flexible and kind. I will definitely be bringing Kona back.”

Need to run errands or head out of town for a night? Your buddy gets to tag along with me for the day!

Whether your pet loves constant attention or prefers a little space, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. I’ve cared for elderly dogs who needed extra accommodations, as well as energetic pups who needed a little more attention and activity. I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities, routines, and needs, and I’ll always make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m very flexible and would love to meet you and your pet! 🐾 I am active duty in the US Coast Guard and I work daily from 0730 - 1500. I have plenty of time to spend with your pet after work!

I am happy to take them out of the house and go for walks or find ways to play in the house/backyard!
About: My name is Sara and I have been caring for dogs actively for about 14 years, but have been loving them for 29. I graduated from Chico State with a healthcare administration degree back in 2016, but work selling security software. Working from home allows me the privilege of being a full-time companion to your cherished pup! They'll have the comfort of a familiar environment and a loving human presence throughout the day. Being punctual and reliable is second nature to me. You can count on me to adhere to schedules and ensure your pup's routine is maintained seamlessly. I know how nerve-wracking it can be to entrust your dog to someone new. That's why I'm committed to open communication, providing regular updates and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pup is in good hands. In my home, your fur baby will find companionship in my own adorable Sheepadoodle, June. She's not just a pet, but a treasured member of our family. We understand the importance of finding trustworthy hands for our furry family members, and rest assured, your dog will be treated with the same love and care as June. We share our space with two feline friends, Martini and Malone. They're seasoned experts in coexisting with dogs, ensuring a harmonious environment for all our four-legged guests. For cat owners: As a self-appointed cat lady, my passion for these graceful creatures knows no bounds. With two of my own, and dreams of having a whole pride (if my husband would allow it!), you can trust that your cats will be in the hands of someone who adores them as much as you do. While I currently have two cherished cats, I've had the pleasure of fostering numerous kittens through CFFR. Fostering cats has not only expanded my knowledge but also my love for cats. I understand the unique needs and temperaments that cats can have, and I'm committed to creating a safe and nurturing environment for every feline friend that enters my care. No matter your cat's quirks, I'm equipped to provide them with the attention and care they need. Administering medicine to our feline friends can be a daunting task, but it's one I'm more than comfortable with. I have experience in ensuring your cat receives their medication in a stress-free and gentle manner. I'm looking forward to the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! Feel free to reach out, and let's arrange a meet-and-greet to see if we're the perfect match for your beloved pets! Caring for pets is not just a hobby, but an integral part of my daily life. With a flexible work-from-home schedule, I have the privilege of being with your baby full-time. This means they'll have my undivided attention, ensuring they feel comfortable and loved throughout the day. Regular feeding schedules, exercise routines, and ample cuddle time are all seamlessly integrated into our day. Additionally, my experience as a foster parent for CFFR has further enriched my understanding of various pet needs and behaviors. This means I'm adept at catering to individual quirks and preferences, ensuring your pet feels safe and content during their stay with me. In case any special care is required, such as administering medication, you can trust that I have the expertise to handle it with care and patience. Ultimately, pet care is not just a task, but a genuine passion of mine. Your pet will not only receive essential care but also the love and attention they deserve, making them feel right at home. When your cherished pet stays with me, they become a part of our family. They'll enjoy a cozy and stimulating environment filled with comfortable spots for relaxation and play. Feeding schedules are strictly adhered to, and fresh water is always available. Regular potty breaks and outdoor adventures in a secure, pet-friendly space are also on the agenda. For any special requirements, such as medication administration or specific dietary needs, you can trust that I'll handle them with precision and care. Your pet's comfort and well-being are my top priorities.
“Our Australian shepherd had an awesome time playing with Brodie the golden doodle all day on Christmas Eve. He seemed really happy all day and he slept really well that night! It worked out perfectly. Thank You!”
“Sarah has been amazing to work with. She is so kind and caring both to her doggie guests and their humans. She is super responsive and knowledgeable. My pup had an awesome first visit and look forward to many more!”
“Marien was a blessing to our fur baby Guapo. She was so kind and patient and really took care of him. He looked so happy and really enjoyed himself! We are super thankful for her and think she’s amazing. I haven’t let anyone watch him yet alone it’s my first time leaving him and she made it so seamless. Neither of us were anxious about the experience. 😭 I highly recommend Marien.”
“Aiko has been incredibly patient with our Millie, a rescue who takes a long time to warm up to new people. Aiko's warmth and genuine love for dogs is evident every time we interact with her. We feel so lucky to have found her!”
“Jennifer was very responsive and accommodating. I accidentally booked the wrong date, but in our text conversation, I had discussed the correct dates with her. On the correct day of the date I needed her to watch my dog, I called her frantically thinking that she wouldn’t be available since I booked a different date, but she was accommodating and changed the date to the correct one. She’s located near Dodge Ridge, so we dropped my dog off early in the morning and went snowboarding then picked him up on the way home. Very convenient. I have an old dog that requires special care like medicine, special food, diapers, anxiety, and etc and she followed my detailed instructions very well. My pup also seemed to enjoy being under her care despite his anxiety. Will be happy to bring him back!”

“Courtney is fantastic! She walks Summer during the week for me, and I couldn't be happier. She is reliable, communicative, and Summer absolutely loves her. Highly recommend!”
“Emily was on time, and asked thoughtful questions around how Ronnie walks, potty breaks, harness, snacks, and what I recommend when it the temperature is too hot for a typical walk. I could tell she has dogs and takes good care of them. Ronnie came back so happy and gave her a ton of kisses showing that he trusted her on the walk! Already booked follow up walks!”
“Kateryna has been an amazing walker! Our feisty girl Eve loves her and really listens to her. Not only does she come back from walks fulfilled and tired I have also noticed a difference in her overall listening and leash training. 10/10!”
“Jenny was quick to respond, flexible and awesome with Ryan. He can be a wild puppy to walk but was great for her. They walked a few miles and two hours. She gave him treats and water on the way. Highly recommend and will use Jenny again! Thanks!”
“Agne is so wonderful with our dog, Baloo. You can tell that she loves dogs. She is timely and reliable. I am so glad I found her. Baloo is a big dog (over 100 lbs) and he is no problem for her.”
“Emily is incredible! She has been walking our 2 (big) dogs for about 2 weeks now and the boys are loving the walks. Emily is very alert to all their needs and is even helping to train them along the way. Booking with Emily was super easy and she always responds quickly to any/all messages. I would definitely recommend her services! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

About: I am an insured pet care professional, and I bring the same kindness and thoughtfulness I would want someone to show my own pet. What sets me apart is that I’m dependable, attentive, and very detail-oriented. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality and routine, carefully follow your instructions, and keep you updated with plenty of photos and notes. My goal is simple: to help your pet feel safe, comfortable, loved, and genuinely well cared for whenever they’re with me. I cared for my own dog, Charlotte, for 10 years—from her puppy stage through her senior years—so I understand how much a dog’s needs can change over time. My experience with puppies began even earlier, when a neighbor who bred dogs trusted me to help care for her newborn litters. I understand the patience, consistency, and routine puppies need, including reinforcement of potty training, basic commands, leash manners, and good habits. I also know that senior dogs may need slower walks, extra time, and someone who pays attention to the little changes. I'm currently working part-time, so I will have the flexibility to walk your pet or drop in for your pet during the day while you are away. Looking forward to new clients! I currently provide care in my clients’ homes, where pets can remain comfortable in their familiar surroundings and routines. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions for walks, meals, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, preferences, and needs, keep their space tidy, and send photos and written updates after every visit. All dog walks are private and on leash. At this time, I do not offer care in my own home, overnight stays, transportation, or medication administration.
“Olivia was an excellent dog walker. She was on time and communicated with me regularly. My dogs loved her and I could tell they enjoyed the attention she gave them by how happy they were when I got home. She took great pics of them too!”
About: I’ve literally never lived without a pet — cats and dogs have been part of my life since childhood, and caring for them feels second nature. I offer thoughtful cat care and reliable dog walks, with an approach that’s calm, observant, and tailored to each pet’s personality. I know cats need patience and routine 😌, while many dogs thrive on consistent walks and positive energy. My goal is simple: you feel relaxed while you’re away, and your pet feels safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. I currently work from home and can bring my laptop with me if need be but I also have plenty of time in between my calls/tasks to dedicate time to the care of your pet :) I have time and I’d love to do it spending time with your pets. I show up ready to give your pets calm, attentive care — feeding, fresh water, litter boxes, walks, and playtime as they like it. I let cats lead the interaction and follow dogs’ routines, making sure everyone feels safe, comfortable, and happy. I send updates (and photos!) so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in good hands.
About: I have had experience working with dogs for 6 years. Working at a dog daycare training and supervising animals, and creating meaningful connections with clientele and pets. I love to spend my free time taking care of animals and bonding with them. I love to go out on walks with my dog. A motto I like to live by when it comes to pets is, “treat them the way you want to be treated”, always with love and respect. I want my clients to feel peace of mind when I am taking care of their pets. I am confident I am able to create a trusting environment for the owner and pet.
About: Animals have always been my passion and your pet's well-being will always come first. I work in a very timely manner and am proactive to let you know about how your pet is doing! I split my time between providing services on Rover, and working at Contra Costa Animal Services. A portion of my proceeds from bookings is donated to the shelter each month.🐶🐱💕 I have open availability, my schedule is Sunday - Saturday, with earliest appointments at 8AM and latest at 8PM. I keep my calendar updated regularly. **Services from June-Sept will be extremely limited in availability due to medical leave** Caring for pets in your home requires trust and respect. I keep to the main community areas of your home and require access to one bathroom. I will assume any other place as off-limits unless otherwise specified. Supplies such as leashes, collars, harnesses, treats, etc. that you provide will be returned back to their original location. Keys can either be left in a hidden lock box or on my person - I take care to properly label and safely store any keys to ensure they are returned when my stay is over.
About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including my 10-year-old Jack Russell Terrier and my young Labradoodle. Caring for dogs has been a part of my daily life for many years, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I also have experience teaching dogs basic obedience commands and helping puppies develop good habits and routines. My Labradoodle has been trained to follow a variety of commands, and I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement. I am comfortable caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities, from energetic puppies to senior dogs. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, companionship, feeding, medication reminders, or simply a calm and loving environment, I will treat them as if they were my own. I know how important it is for pet parents to feel confident while they’re away, so I always provide attentive care, regular updates, and plenty of photos. I currently work part-time and often work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day. Because I spend a lot of time at home, pets in my care receive plenty of supervision, companionship, potty breaks, exercise, and attention. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and overnight care depending on your pet’s needs. I provide a calm, loving, and supervised environment and carefully follow each pet owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, crate routines, and special needs. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
“It was my first time using Rover and Kim made me feel at ease with the process. She was very flexible and communicative. My dog seem to adapt to Kim very quickly and looks like she enjoyed her walks. I will book with Kim again in the future if I need a dog walker.”
“My German Shepard absolutely loves Katja. Katja is just amazing with him. He waits patiently at the door for her to show up to take him on walks every single time. It’s super adorable! Katja is so kind, fun and responsible. We love her and feel so lucky to have found her.”

“Sofia and Jonathan are the nicest family. We were gone for a long time on an international trip to visit family in France. And it was a relief to know that our dog and bunny were well taken care of. They spent 17 days with them and we got plenty of updates and photos. Would use them again and recommend them to anyone.”
“Lyra has stayed with Ulunma multiple times and we feel secure knowing she is in good hands each time. Ulunma pays attention to Lyra’s basic needs as well as any changes in her day to day habits. She’s communicative and is great about sharing pictures while we’re away. Lyra will be back for more stays!”
“This is Loveleen's second time with Casey and I have no worries at all whenever Loveleen is under Casey's care for doggy day care. I highly recommend Casey's services as he is very communicative and is flexible on drop off and pick up timing. This will not be Loveleen's last time with Casey!”
“Kamila was THE best puppy mama to Kaen during our weeklong vacation! She made his first time away easy, comfortable, and calming for him. Kamila was extremely responsive to Kaen’s needs and would update me daily on his activities with her. I especially appreciated how intentional, loving, and dedicated Kamila was with Kaen while under her care - he was by her side all day/night long!! I will definitely hire Kamila again in the near future - she is simply a GEM!”
“This was our first time using Rover, so we were nervous. But it was a great experience! Daisy spent four nights at Ruth’s house and, as the only dog, got lots of TLC! Thank you, Ruth, for keeping us posted and for the great pics - and for loving Daisy while we were away! She’ll be back, for sure!”
“Chris took good care of Mia, who seemed very comfortable with the stay. We appreciated the daily updates as well as Chris' friendliness and positivity. Would not hesitate to have Mia stay again.”
“Stefanile is a great sitter. She was incredibly accommodating and patient in dealing with my dog—a rather shy, introverted, and somewhat challenging dog. Given her deep understanding of canine personalities and traits, as well as her extensive experience as a sitter, I was able to entrust Chaco to her care with peace of mind. She sent updates and photos, making communication very easy. Thank you!”
“Maria & Kevan along with their wonderful girls were amazing petsitters for our Labrador Retreiver, Louie. From the moment I dropped off Louie and met them, I could tell he was going to be completely comfortable, well-cared for, and loved for the duration of his 10 day stay with their family. Receiving a photo or two of Louie each day was amazing and it was heartwarming to see Louie so happy getting lots of snuggles, playtime with his toys, neighborhood walks, and peaceful naps at their feet. Thank you so much to Maria & Kevan and their daughters for making Louie feel like a part of their family! Louie can't wait to visit again!”
“Jess was responsive and commucative throughout. She did a great job taking care of my pup - he came back very tired, like he just spent a week at camp. Thank you for taking him to the dog park and the many photos and videos - really appreciate it. 10/10, would absolutely recommend.”
“Styles loves his time at Peter's house.. So much play time. The back yard is doggy paradise. Peter went out of his way to pamper my dog and even supplemented his food when I underestimated. Five Stars!”
“Santiago was very accommodating and made my dogs feel right at home! Kept their schedule consistent and lives near a nice walking path. One thing that really made him stand out is that your dog(s) are the only ones he and his family watch. Where I’ve been to some sitters and they have like 4-5 different dogs there being watched so they can make more money. So with him only watching ours I know they were looked after and it was great to get pics of the pups while traveling. 10/10 would reccomend!”
About: I’ve had pets since I was a kid. Unfortunately, my pet (who was the love of my life) passed away. She was a high-needs dog with extreme separation anxiety and leash aggression, so I have skills to handle that type of pet. From then until now, I have focused on raising my children. I miss the company of animals, and I am wanting to be around them! My kids love animals, so your pet would get lots of cuddles while you’re away! I’m a stay-at-home mom of three. Two of my kids are in school, and the other stays home with me. We have lots of time on our hands to attend to the needs of your pet! If boarding at my home: I have two yards that are completely fenced in. I also have three animal-loving children. We let animals on the furniture. Our home is their home ☺️ If dropping in while you’re away or doing walk: My days are fully open starting at 9am. With kids at home, things get busy again at 5pm. Drop-ins would need to be between those hours. I can also visit again after my kids go down for bed which is usually 7:30pm. My child loves stroller walks, so hopefully your pet does too! Having a pet myself, I know how important it is to make your baby feel as calm and regulated as possible while you’re away. Putting them with a loving and responsible caretaker while you’re away is not a decision taken lightly. I hope I can be that for you and your family.
“Ciao was amazing! He sent videos and updates on banksy. Looks like banksy was having a wonderful time. I will definitely be using ciao again and always! Your dog is in great hands with him. Very happy with ciao!”
“Thank you, Max, Virginie and Louise for taking such good care of our beloved, Rosa. While only for an overnight, we could quickly see that she adjusted well. We'll be in touch again with plans for another visit! Thank you!”
“Joseph and Marikris came through on a last-minute reservation and provided exceptional levels of care for my special needs dog. My dog Daisy had been recently diagnosed with IVDD and I was prepared to cancel my trip, but Marikris assured me of her professional veterinary background and familiarity with the condition, and I felt confident trusting J&M with her care. Daisy looked so happy in all the photos they shared, and I feel truly blessed to have found such kind and attentive neighbors to care for my girl. Thank you so much Joseph & Marikris, you guys are amazing and I look forward to working together again 🙌”
“Crystal took care of my 4 month old puppy for 2 nights and she did an amazing job. Her location is ideal right next to the dog park. She was kind and patient with us. Definitely going to be having her take care of my pup more!”
About: I've been around animals my entire life and understand that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. As a lifelong dog and cat lover and pet owner, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust when you're away. Our home is a safe, loving, and active environment where pets are treated like family. We have a secure fenced yard for supervised play, plenty of space to relax, and lots of attention throughout the day. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or curling up for belly rubs, we'll tailor their stay to help them feel comfortable and at home. I believe communication is just as important as great care, so you'll receive regular updates and photos while you're away, giving you peace of mind that your furry family member is happy, safe, and well cared for. My goal is simple: to provide a fun, stress-free experience for your pet and make them excited to come back for their next visit! Pet care fits naturally into our family's daily routine. I work a hybrid schedule and am only in the office three days a week, while my husband is in and out throughout the day, so there is typically someone home to provide attention, potty breaks, meals, and companionship. Our evenings are centered around walks, playtime, and quality time with the dogs, and we make sure they have plenty of opportunities to get outside and stay active throughout the day. On weekends, we're home more often, which means even more time for exercise, cuddles, and fun. We understand how important consistency is for pets, so we do our best to maintain each dog's normal routine and provide a safe, loving environment where they feel like part of the family. When pets stay in our home, they become part of the family. We have a fully fenced yard where they can safely play, explore, and enjoy supervised outdoor time. We also have a friendly, playful dog who loves having canine companions and helps visiting dogs feel welcome, while we always make sure introductions are done safely and at each dog's comfort level. We follow each pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special instructions or medications. Whether your dog is energetic and loves to play or prefers a quieter environment with extra cuddles, we tailor our care to meet their individual needs. Our goal is to provide a safe, fun, and loving home where your pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you're away. Regular photo and video updates are always included so you can enjoy peace of mind throughout their stay.
“We had a great trial night with Aiko and Dennis, can’t wait to have them care for Lilly while we will be out for a bit longer. They were very caring and the pup came home calm and happy. We are very happy to have found them.”
