“Absolutely 5 stars! From the minute we met Karine and Ryan, we knew they were the right people to care for our dog while we were away. Karine completed a detailed questionnaire at the Meet and Greet which ensured that she knew all of Stanley's needs, routines, etc. When we dropped Stanley off for his stay, Karine and Ryan were friendly, confident and reassuring. Karine sent us great pictures and updates throughout our trip and really made us feel that Stanley was the top priority. When we picked Stanley up, it was obvious that he had really enjoyed his stay - while excited to see us, he was not anxious in any way. Karine and Ryan could not have been kinder to us or our dog and we look forward to having Stanley stay again with them many times!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have over 20 years of experience caring for them. Our family shares our home with Kay, our friendly 40-pound Australian Shepherd and Cocker Spaniel mix. She is playful, social, and enjoys having other dogs around. Dogs in our care become part of our daily routine! We enjoy regular walks, trips to the park, and plenty of playtime. We typically take several walks throughout the day, including a morning walk, a longer afternoon outing, and an evening walk. We live in a dog-friendly building complex with access to a dog park, and we also have a spacious unfenced patio where dogs can relax and enjoy fresh air while supervised. We understand that every dog has a different personality and routine, and we’ll do our best to make your pup feel comfortable, safe, and at home. We’d love to meet your dog and welcome them into our family! our routine is very dog friendly and consistent. We take our dog for 3-4 walk a day and would follow the same routine with your dog. Dogs are staying with us will be fed twice a day according to their usual schedule and will sleep in their own beds at night. On weekends we enjoy taking longer walks of up to an hour and go to our dog park at the community. Safety is our priority. Dogs are always supervised and kept securely leashed when outside, and we never allow dogs off leash outside the home. We keep potentially unsafe items out of reach and make sure the environment is comfortable
“Nicole and her family were great with our dog Marty. We met once before leaving him for 4 days and immediately he seemed at ease, and I should note our dog Marty is pretty nervous around new people and new dogs. Nicole sent regular updates and each one showed a very happy pooch. He seemed very at ease with the family dog Dakota and bonded with their son. We will definitely ask Nicole and her family to dog-sit again and highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Tina and her husband took wonderful care of my Lucy. They were quick to respond/schedule a meet and greet and were very receptive of all of Lucy’s personality quirks. They were flexible with drop off/pick up, provided great updates, and were very communicative. Lucy will definitely be back!”
“Our dogs had a great time with Debbie! Once again she took excellent care of our dogs. I really appreciate the communication, and all the photos that Debbie sent of our little ones. I would recommend her 100%”
“Radostina did a great job with our 5 year old and 5 month old pups. She has a fenced in yard and areas set up for playing and sleeping. She was so loving and sent lots of pictures. Through those pictures we could tell that our pups were loving their time with her and her family. Thank you Radostina!”

“Cassidy was great, she was able to help us out last minute! She found our baby who locked themselves in a room playing and made sure they were taken care of!”
“Hanaya was absolutely wonderful! From start to finish she was incredibly communicative…keeping me updated and completely at ease while I was away. It is always a bit stressful leaving your pets home but I felt entirely confident having her look after them. She treated my fur babies with so much kindness and care truly treating them as if they were her own. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and highly recommend her!”
“Stefanie was amazing! Always kept me updated and was so communicative. My kitty cat loved her and I would absolutely recommend her in the future! An amazing sitter.”
“Nicole was so great with our cat Pepper! She sent so many photos updates and was super communicative throughout the time watching her. Would highly recommend!”
“Chris was great with my puppy! Very attentive to both my needs and my puppy’s needs during his visits. Great communication and photos to ease my nerves. I’m would highly recommend him for any of your pets needs!!”

“Annabel is an excellent sitter; she hit it off with our cats right away, and took great care of them while we were away for 3 nights. We would have her take care of our cats again!”

“Aaron did a great job! My cat, Moo, can be shy but, mid-way through the catsitting, she was coming out for pets from him. The visits were always prompt and, as requested, a 1/2 long with accompanying pictures. Aaron is very professional and I 10/10 would hire him again.”
“Sarah is great! She took the job in a short notice and was very responsive with messages and instructions. Sarah visited my 1.5 year old cat three times and each time she wrote me a detailed description of the visit and also took tons of pictures. Because my cat always takes some litter out with him after doing his business, Sarah even swept and vacuumed the bathroom floor for me:). She also helped to feed wet food during her visit and refill dry food for the other days, which was exactly what I hoped for. With her tremendous knowledge and responsibilities, she gave me a lot of caring tips regarding nutrition. I couldn’t be more satisfied with her good service and would highly recommend her to anybody. Although my experience with Sarah was only limited to cat, I’m sure she is an excellent dog sitter as well with all the dedications she had shown. Thank you Sarah.”
“Nicole is incredible! She takes her time with our shy dog to make her feel comfortable, and we feel so grateful for that. She also sends pictures without us even having to ask! 10/10 recommend!”
“Ria went above and beyond making sure our two rescue cats were well-taken care of while we were away. She sent text and photo updates throughout and took care to play with and get to know our cats. Highly recommend, exactly what we hoped for from drop-in visits!”
About: Dogs have been my world for 15 years. I've worked in daycares, training facilities, grooming, shelters, and now I focus on providing reliable walks and personalized care. I offer neighborhood walks during the week, and on weekends I also offer 90 to 120 minute off-leash adventure hikes for the weekend warrior dogs that love to explore and need to burn off some energy! Every visit includes photos, updates, gps and plenty of attention! Dogs are what i do! And because this is what I do professionally, I’m able to provide consistent scheduling and care, building relationships with your pup! Almost any given day you can find me working with dogs of all sizes and energy levels! I primarily provide care through structured outdoor hikes rather than in-home services. When working in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, and maintain a calm, controlled environment.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Riverside
About: Ive been a professional dog walker for 7 years in my neighborhood. Everywhere I go they ask where are the dogs?? Ive had many satisfied clients. I have slots for more dogs daily. Small dogs are my preference since I have in a small area for them to play in. Overnights are fine too. I have a main play room in my space for smaller dogs. Large dogs may need an overnight pen to rest in overnight for dogs over 30 pounds.
“Karine was amazing! We were visiting from out of town and she allowed us to feel extremely comfortable leaving our anxious dog for the day. She is very knowledgeable, warm, and understanding of the needs of pets. She even had homemade lamb treats for the dogs she was watching! Her home and backyard are both super dog friendly. Karine was active over text and sent a bunch of pictures during our pup's stay. I will absolutely be reaching back out to her again!!”
“Barb provided fantastic care for my 2 needy pups. In addition, she was extremely communicative and flexible as I had to switch things up on her last minute. We'll definitely be repeat customers!”

About: Dogs have always been much more than pets to me they’re genuinely one of my biggest interests. Along with caring for my own dog, I have professional experience working at a dog boarding facility, where I gained hands-on experience caring for dogs with different personalities, needs, routines, and energy levels. I’m especially interested in canine wellness, enrichment, and nutrition. With my own dog, I enjoy making homemade treats, preparing enrichment activities, and finding creative ways to keep him happy, active, and engaged. I bring that same level of attention to the dogs I care for. Whether I’m walking your dog, checking in, or staying with them, I want their time with me to actually add something positive to their day not just meet the bare minimum. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to make plenty of time for pet care throughout the week. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine for walks, feeding, playtime, and check ins. I can also discuss specific times and availability depending on what you and your pet need. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, especially in your own home. I’ll always follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, walks, medications, boundaries, or routines. I’m attentive to changes in behavior and will make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.

About: Hi! My name is Margaret & I have over 25 years of experience caring for pets, and I am working to raise the bar around pet care. I truly enjoy building relationships with my clients and work hard to ensure every pet care experience is positive! After spending over 20 years in the corporate world, I offer my clients professionalism, transparency and clear communication. If you feel like I might be a fit for you, please feel free to reach out to me for an introductory call. We will talk about your needs and requirements, and you will also have an opportunity to learn about me and how I work. So if you’re looking for a one-time engagement or a longer-term arrangement, I would love to hear from you! My schedule is generally flexible and can accommodate most needs. I’m currently enrolled in a virtual masters program and work from home, so I can provide pets a high level of attention and care. Pets in boarding/daycare in my home participate in all of our family activities (so long as they are pet safe). I also enjoy exercising and will take dogs in my care on long walks, nature hikes and outdoor activities. Note: My calendar is generally kept up to date, but I sometimes get last minute request that I haven’t had time to update in my Rover calendar. So it is always best to reach out to confirm my availability. I work to ensure my home environment is safe for both my resident cat and the animals in my care. - Boarded dogs will sleep either with or near me and have constant access to their bed, food, water and toys. - My backyard is big, open and partially fenced, allowing for supervised and tethered play. - Boarded cats will have exclusive access to my office, where they can eat, sleep and retreat into, if they wish. They are also encouraged to explore the rest of my home, as they wish. Please note: I do not allow my resident cat to interact with boarding cat(s) for everyone’s happiness and safety. To ensure engagements are safe and positive: 1) I require all new boarding and house sitting clients to have an introductory phone call with me before finalizing booking requests AND before meeting in person (if appropriate). - I also strongly advise that we have an in-person meeting at your home for all pet sitting engagements. 2) I have a resident cat and as such, all boarding / daycare pets must be cat safe, have low prey drive and/or have low reactivity.

“We couldn’t be more grateful for Stefanie! She has been a true life-saver, especially after we had our baby and needed extra help.

We feel so lucky to have found someone we trust completely with Astro. Stefanie truly goes above and beyond, and we can’t recommend her highly enough!”
