“My dog was very well cared for by Ying Ying and her family. She was so thoughtful and sent update videos of her while we were on our trip. It was clear Bailey had a great time.”
“Matt is absolutely amazing. He really took care of my dog during the 40 days we were away. He sent pics and videos daily and he's really responsive to questions and requests. My dog had a good time with Matt. I would definitely recommend Matt to anyone who needs boarding service.”
“Phil was great! Boggs looked so happy there all week and it was hard to get him to leave because he just wanted to hang out longer. Getting pictures regularly helped us enjoy our time away. We look forward to Boggs going back in a few months!”
“Excellent experience. Sara seemed professional, friendly, and very on top of things. She stayed in close touch about our little guy, and Kiwi seemed in good spirits both during his visit and after. I'd also specifically flag her location as a bonus—the house has a good yard and it's on a small, low-traffic side street, which always makes me feel better.”
“Ralph did an amazing job watching our dog Winston this past weekend! He took the time to listen about anything and everything Winston would possibly need for the weekend and kept in touch multiple times to let us know how he was doing. He stuck to his normal schedule and kept him well entertained and loved the entire stay. Winston was POOPED when he got home. Will definitely be using Ralph again!”
“Tracy was so sweet, very responsive, and you could tell she loves animals. She sent updates with pictures regularly and o could see he was so cared for. My dog Kanan came home a very happy pup! Thank you again Tracy!”
“Angelina was fantastic! She took great care of Sammy, and sent us lots of photos while we were away. Excellent communication and very easy to work with. I would absolutely ask Angelina to watch Sammy again!! Thank you!”
“Extremely accommodating, flexible, and knowledgeable about dog care. They were able to accommodate us at short notice, which was greatly appreciated. Their setup with separate enclosures to acclimate dogs slowly is very nice. Provided updates and photos/videos regularly, quick to respond to inquiries. Zuko had a great time and was well taken care of. Calm and happy upon pickup. Paul is now our go-to for dog care!”
“Recently we lost one of our two dogs. We had a trip planned for only a couple weeks later and had to board our second dog alone for the first time. Gabe was an excellent choice and probably the most knowledgeable in training that we have had so far! He was communicative, responsible, and made us feel completely confident while we were gone! Definitely will be giving him a call again for our trips.”
“We had an awesome experience with Shankar. He and his family took great care of Bruce. He shared pictures through the stay which put our minds at ease. Bruce had a great time there with Piku his dog. He came back home very happy and had a great time with them. We would certainly board Bruce with him again. Thank you.”
“Mary took such good care of my miniature schnauzer who is cautious and shy. She was a great communicator. She sent pictures showing me he was happy and doing well and when I picked him he was as contentedly curled up asleep. I am so thrilled to be able to have Mary sit for him again in the future.”
“Highly recommend! Michael is very professional and easy to work with. Our labradoodle enjoyed his time at Caesar’s Home and came home calm/happy after playing with his new friends all week. We will definitely stay again!”
“Thank you Emily for making Sherlock feel at home!!! Sherlock was welcomed as part of their own family. Emily and all her family members made it very easy for him! He had a very comfortable stay! ❤️”
“Julia and Hugo were absolutely wonderful. Nacho had such a great time with them, and we felt completely at ease knowing he was so well cared for. They kept us updated throughout his stay and were incredibly attentive to his specific feeding routine. It gave us real peace of mind while we were away. We would wholeheartedly recommend them and can’t wait to work with them again.”
“We left our dog with Alison twice and would definitely have her stay again. She was responsive and kept us updated. Would highly recommend and look forward to having her watch our dog again soon.”

“Loren is awesome! Our Tina had a great time staying at her house, getting outside for a fun outing, chilling inside, and enjoying her time watching all that goes on outside the window. Loren was super responsive from the very beginning, set up a meet and greet, and was great getting to know Tina. During the visit she shared pics and we knew the entire time Tina was in excellent hands. Highly recommend Loren!”

“Bonnie is so great with Sarsaparilla. She can sometimes be a feisty girl and it takes time for her warm up to people, but Bonnie is so patient and kind.

“We’re so grateful for the excellent care that Shankar and family took of our cockapoo Mochi! They were great communicators- sending frequent photo and video updates of Mochi enjoying the beautiful, grassy, fenced-in yard, sniffing chickens (on the other side of the fence), playing with their dog, and snoozing on the couch. It was clear Mochi had a great day and that they are true dog lovers. We’ll definitely be back when we’re in the area and highly recommend them to all!”

My dog came home and just slept, he exercised so much with Ralph. I will definitely hire him again for doggy day care and boarding.”
About: I’ve lived in a home with dogs my entire life. Currently I am the dog mom to a 5 year old goldendoodle and have volunteered at a local rescue who takes in both dogs and cats once a month for the past 3 years. These experiences have thought me management and training techniques for different dog temperaments, ages and medical needs. Recently completed AniMatch Canine Body Language and Behavior Observation Training educational course, have taken a canine CPR course and worked with my own dog on reactivity training. I work a full time remote marketing job. This gives me the ability to have time in the mornings, and evenings to do dog walks and pet drop ins when needed. I have limited lunch time availability at this time and am not able to take on any reoccurring weekly bookings. Client communication is key and I will make sure to connect with you on details of your pet before a visit, send updates and make sure things go as usual as normal.

About: My journey with animals didn't start with a job. It started at age 10, the moment my first cat came into my life. Since then, animals have never left my world. I grew up alongside a beloved Shih Tzu who was part of our family for 16 beautiful years, teaching me firsthand what devoted, long-term care truly looks like. Beyond my own pets, I've built hands-on pet-sitting experience with a wide range of animals and breeds, from energetic Golden Retrievers to the regal Maine Coon and the spirited Scottish kitten. I understand that every animal has its own personality, pace, and needs. No matter the age, breed, or temperament, your pet will be treated like family here. Pet care fits into my routine really easily because I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to give dogs lots of attention throughout the day. That means plenty of walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and just being around so they feel cared for and not left alone for too long. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, keeping them active, entertained, and comfortable, and making sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I live in a condo with its own backyard, and while it isn’t fenced, I’m very mindful about safety and always keep dogs secure during outside time. The area around us has plenty of green space, which makes walks much more enjoyable and gives dogs lots of room to explore, sniff, and play. I always focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, whether I’m in my home or in your home, and I pay close attention to their routine, behavior, and needs.

I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex within a wooded area with land so this gives a good environment for comfortable interior space as well as walking pets outside.

Our quiet neighborhood with low traffic offers a safe environment for walks. We keep a close eye on each pet’s well-being and behavior. Every pet is treated like family, with patience, love, and constant care.

We give all the dogs lots attention and always make sure their needs are met.

Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, feeding, playtime, medication reminders, or companionship while you’re away, I will treat them as if they were my own. I pride myself on being dependable, attentive, and communicative, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos during every visit so you can have complete peace of mind. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Pet care is a part of my daily routine. I care for my 12-year-old Japanese Akita, senior German Shepherd, and young Highlander cat every day, including feeding, walks, exercise, grooming, playtime, and monitoring their health and well-being. Caring for pets has taught me the importance of consistency, patience, and attention to detail. Because pet care is already a regular part of my life, I can easily incorporate walks, drop-in visits, and other pet care services into my weekly schedule while providing reliable and attentive care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I strive to maintain their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and any special care needs. I make sure pets have fresh water, receive plenty of attention and exercise, and are kept safe at all times. I also respect my clients’ homes by keeping everything clean and secure. Communication is important to me, so I provide updates and photos during visits to give pet owners peace of mind while they’re away.

About: Soaking up all the kitty loving I can after a lifetime of not being allowed to have pets at home. I will care for your fur babies as my own and give them all the loving while you're away. I am currently a stay at home mom looking for things to do outside of the home while the kids are at school. I will love on your fur babies any time you need! We have one cat in our home that is friendly and curious about new furry friends and people too! She is out going and will take loving from anyone.
About: I have owned a cat and a dog. I watch or check in on my friends' and family's pets when they are away from vacation. I WFH fairly regularly so check-ins are really easy. House sitting is doable, but would need to coordinate times as i have some activities with my kid. Animals are all about routine and I don't like to rock the boat. However you take care of your pets is how i want to provide for them.
“We have been working with Blaise for a few weeks now, and we are so happy we found him! He is flexible, reliable, professional, affordable, and extremely punctual. He is highly communicative and easy to get ahold of. He is always flexible with any last minute changes, and he always arrives exactly when he says he will. We are so glad we found someone who we can trust so highly, and who our dog loves so much! Our dog is our baby and we know he is safe and happy with Blaise. If you are looking for a dog walker, look no further than Blaise!”
About: Dogs have always been an important part of my life. I grew up with samoyeds and see them as members of the family, best friends, and the most loyal, loving companions. I have years of experience walking dogs, have attended puppy training classes, have experience with dogs of all ages, and have watched pets for friends and family. Rover combines two of my favorite activities, being active and hanging out with dogs. I am here to provide the high-quality care and attention your dog deserves, as well as peace of mind and convenience amid your busy schedule. I recognize and value the individuality of each dog. Their needs and happiness are my top priority. I will care for each animal as I would my own. 🐾 I’m a recent graduate in the medical field currently credentialing and interviewing. I have some new availability throughout this transition and look forward to being of service! I will follow your pet’s routine to ensure their comfort, happiness, and safety. I am very observant and detail-oriented, paying close attention to your dog, the surroundings, and anticipating needs.

“My dog was very well cared for by Ying Ying and her family. She was so thoughtful and sent update videos of her while we were on our trip. It was clear Bailey had a great time.”
“Matt is absolutely amazing. He really took care of my dog during the 40 days we were away. He sent pics and videos daily and he's really responsive to questions and requests. My dog had a good time with Matt. I would definitely recommend Matt to anyone who needs boarding service.”
“Phil was great! Boggs looked so happy there all week and it was hard to get him to leave because he just wanted to hang out longer. Getting pictures regularly helped us enjoy our time away. We look forward to Boggs going back in a few months!”
“Excellent experience. Sara seemed professional, friendly, and very on top of things. She stayed in close touch about our little guy, and Kiwi seemed in good spirits both during his visit and after. I'd also specifically flag her location as a bonus—the house has a good yard and it's on a small, low-traffic side street, which always makes me feel better.”
“Ralph did an amazing job watching our dog Winston this past weekend! He took the time to listen about anything and everything Winston would possibly need for the weekend and kept in touch multiple times to let us know how he was doing. He stuck to his normal schedule and kept him well entertained and loved the entire stay. Winston was POOPED when he got home. Will definitely be using Ralph again!”

“Extremely accommodating, flexible, and knowledgeable about dog care. They were able to accommodate us at short notice, which was greatly appreciated. Their setup with separate enclosures to acclimate dogs slowly is very nice. Provided updates and photos/videos regularly, quick to respond to inquiries. Zuko had a great time and was well taken care of. Calm and happy upon pickup. Paul is now our go-to for dog care!”
“Recently we lost one of our two dogs. We had a trip planned for only a couple weeks later and had to board our second dog alone for the first time. Gabe was an excellent choice and probably the most knowledgeable in training that we have had so far! He was communicative, responsible, and made us feel completely confident while we were gone! Definitely will be giving him a call again for our trips.”
“We had an awesome experience with Shankar. He and his family took great care of Bruce. He shared pictures through the stay which put our minds at ease. Bruce had a great time there with Piku his dog. He came back home very happy and had a great time with them. We would certainly board Bruce with him again. Thank you.”
“Mary took such good care of my miniature schnauzer who is cautious and shy. She was a great communicator. She sent pictures showing me he was happy and doing well and when I picked him he was as contentedly curled up asleep. I am so thrilled to be able to have Mary sit for him again in the future.”
“Highly recommend! Michael is very professional and easy to work with. Our labradoodle enjoyed his time at Caesar’s Home and came home calm/happy after playing with his new friends all week. We will definitely stay again!”

“Julia and Hugo were absolutely wonderful. Nacho had such a great time with them, and we felt completely at ease knowing he was so well cared for. They kept us updated throughout his stay and were incredibly attentive to his specific feeding routine. It gave us real peace of mind while we were away. We would wholeheartedly recommend them and can’t wait to work with them again.”
