“Francois was extremely communicative and took great care of our pup while we were traveling. He made me feel confident that she was well cared for and loved while we were gone. She returned home happy and healthy.”
“When we picked up our pup, you could tell her really enjoyed his time with Yulia and her family. He was happy to see us, but I'm pretty sure he would have been equally happy to stay with them. We will certainly be using Yulia's services again in the future.”
“Yick -hong is fantastic. My dog has some stranger danger, so I’m always nervous with new boarders, but he seemed to feel right at home. Lots of pics and updates, highly recommend.”
“Marissa took very good care of Conan, who is a bit anxious. He even did well with Marissa's dog, which she did in a controlled and easy way, which we loved because he needs some positive socialization. She took him for walks, and kept us informed, sending texts and pics. Would definitely recommend and use her again!”
“You could not ask for anyone better to take care of your beloved pet. We love receiving all the updates and photos and know our dog is well cared for while we are away.”
“Our doggie had a wonderful stay with Barbara and Jen. She clearly felt safe and well taken care of as was evident in the pictures Barbara thoughtfully sent every day.”
“One more time Robert and his family took great care of our dog during our vacation week. Always responsive, regularly posting pictures of her having fun and very flexible with pickup schedules.”
“Kristina was great with my 3 month old puppy. This was the first time I boarded her so I was nervous. But all my fears went away quickly. Her dog was great with my puppy and I received several photos and videos during her stay. Will be using again!”
“Jennifer did an absolute amazing job with my big baby!! This was my first time leaving my pitbull with someone who’s not family or friends for a weekend. I was so nervous at first and Jennifer made me feel so comfortable with all of the updates over the weekend! I highly recommend her and can’t wait to use her again in the future! Top notch dog sitter”
“I strongly recommend Michiko and Clifford. I truly appreciate how well they took care of Juju. She always looked so happy in the photos they sent me. Juju seemed comfortable, relaxed, and joyful the whole time. They took her on wonderful walks around the neighborhood, to the hills, parks and through nature. I feel so lucky to have found them. Thank you so much for everything”
“Betsy was a great sitter - very thorough and careful in getting to know my dog’s preferences and letting him see her very nice home and yard! Easy to communicate with and my pup seemed super happy :)”
“Holly kindly took Teddy in at the last minute for a few days. Teddy had so much fun playing with Holly’s dog. Holly was kind and kept us updated every day. I hope to send Teddy to Holly’s again!”
“Thank you for looking after our dogs! Ling and Ye sent lots of photos of our two midsize labradoodles on walks and getting cuddles during their stay. And they came home calm and relaxed afterwards - a sign that they were happy while during their stay. Our dogs can get nervous around large male dogs, but their dog Brody (large labradoodle) is a gentle giant who immediately got on with our dogs, but also gave them their own space. We appreciate Ling and Ye's kindness towards our dogs!”
“Paul has watched our pups many times over the past few months. He always keeps us in the loop about their days and we love receiving picture updates! They always seems happy (and tired!) when they come back home : )”

“Ismael was great. Sent photos, was able to be flexible with dates which was much appreciated! Our bull/boxer seems to have had a great and stimulating time with other dogs etc,.”

“Longfei & Luning took amazing care of Cookie! I received lots of photos and videos and he seemed to have a great time :) He was a little sick during the stay and they promptly took him to the vet which I appreciated a lot. Thank you so much!!”
“Yick-hong was wonderful with my two cats. He sent pics every day, paid attention to food running low or the cats seeming extra hungry, and even updated me via text when the Rover report card wasn't working. I felt at ease leaving my cats under his care for a week, and will definitely book him again.”
“Stephanie is fantastic!! My senior cat loves her. She is great about keeping you informed, is very attentive to my cats needs, and is very thorough in giving him his medications. She sends great updates and fantastic pictures/videos!!”
“After having a ton of sitters, Olivia is by far the best! She gives such minute detail in her report, and not only fulfillls duties of feline daily living like giving food, water, and cleaning his litter, to the full extent that is requested, she also notices behavioral changes in our pets. I cant reccomend her any more than I do now! She is awesome. I had quite a complex situation to get into my building, and I had the further pressure of having to leave almost immediately, but Olivia was able to help through all that.”
“Royce always goes above and beyond for our boys. During this trip, our cats popped their auqamat leaving water all over our carpet. Royce promptly let us know and took it upon herself to clean up the puddle. We are very grateful for such a great sitter!”
“LIsa was very amiable and did everything that was requested of her; she also sent over pics of my cat to show that he was doing okay. Would absolutely recommend Lisa for any other pet-sitting jobs.”
“My cat warmed up to her right away even though she can be shy with strangers! I got multiple pictures from every visit of her happy as a clam. She’s also a special needs cat so it was really comforting to see her so well taken care of!”
“Sandra took great care of our cat Miffy while we were on vacation for a week. Miffy got a lots of pets and her daily updates definitely put our minds at ease. We came home and she looks very happy. Would definitely go with her next time we are out of town!”
“Did a great job making sure our three cats were taken care of and fed while we were away! Would definitely recommend her if you need help with your fur babies and we would definitely rebook her services in the future if she is available!”
“Ari is fantastic and took such good care of our kitties while we were away! Especially our senior kitty that needed a lot of daily pills. I really appreciated Ari’s thorough communication and picture updates. It was a great relief knowing our babies were well cared for!”
“Angela was very responsible, arriving on time each time. She was also great with our animals! Our cat that is normally very skittish and hides from everyone, came out from under the bed for her on the first day. We loved getting pictures of him interacting and enjoying the attention each day. We also have an unusual pet - water turtle - that she took good care of. We would definitely hire Angela again!”
“Kristina was wonderful! I needed a sitter fast, and in quick order, she met me at an initial consultation and provided terrific care for my Luma. I definitely recommend!!”
“Carol was great! She took excellent care of our cat, Xena, and even garnered enough trust with her to enable some handling and petting - and purring! I recommend Carol and will definitely work with her again !”
“Kristina made it so much easier and stress-free for me to leave town for a few days. She was thorough, on time, and provided great updates after every visit taking care of Curtis and Rhys. I also appreciate how accommodating Kristina was with her schedule and so open in her communication. Will definitely have her take care of the kitties again in the future.”

“Sean is amazing ! Very responsive as I was looking for a dog sitter, and just perfect with my dog: taking him on hikes and runs, giving lots of love. Maïkoh took to him immediately ☺️”

“We were nervous about leaving our dog with anyone but David and Betsy made us feel so welcome and we completely trusted them! We dropped jade off that morning and she was the happiest dog when we picked her up! We are so glad that we used David and Betsy and will definitely be using them for future endeavors!”
“Daisy had a great day with Stef! Stef met with us in advance to meet Daisy and learn about her daily routine and requirements. She made it very easy to drop Daisy off and pick her up and also sent a few pictures during the day. Stef took her out for three walks, one of them was a car ride away from Stef's home which was an adventure for Daisy. It was almost hard to get Daisy into the car as she didn't want to leave. Daisy was so tired that night and into the next day, but was very happy. We are looking forward to having Stef take care of her again!”
“Yulia and her family are caring and considerate. Sheila, their 8 year old corgie was very cute and friendly too! Peppercorn loved staying with her and playing with her elementary school aged children.”
“I just moved back to the area and I've taken my very active 1-yo dog to Ismael's house for the last several days and it's been great! Ismael and his wife are friendly, respond very quickly to texts, send photos, and in general have made life so much easier for me. My puppy and I are thankful we found them!”

About: I have a 3 year pup named Bowie and I grew up with dogs my whole life. I will love and spoil your furbaby as if they were my own. NOTE: my profile says I have 2 dogs but I only have 1. I watch my Mom’s dog a lot so I have her under my account as a customer of the services :) I’m currently out of work so I have an open schedule to focus on your pup. Bowie would love a playmate to zoom around with! I have a big complex and a little gated dog run on-site. I also have a big deck I gate off during the warmer months for patrolling. I have a 6 foot lead for extra security if needed. Bowie roams around the deck and takes in the sun or says hello to fellow friends when they walk by on the mini trails.
“I usually book Michelle for walks, but I needed someone to watch my dog for the day while I dealt with doctor stuff. I don't drive, so it was amazing that she could pick him up for me. She arrived on time and was very communicative, took lots of photos and loved on my dog plenty, walking him and throwing toys. I am so happy with the service I got today.”
“Vista had so much fun during daycare with Junho and Boki! Junho was very communicative of how Vista was doing, making sure she had everything she needed to enjoy her days, from her food, to play and outside time. It is clear that he truly loves dogs and I would recommend him to anyone looking for someone with a kind heart to care for their pet.”
“We had to book someone to watch our dog last minute while we had an appointment nearby and Eri was available. Our dog seemed to enjoy his time with her and she sent photos and updates that reassured us that our dog was in good hands. If we’re in the area again and in need of a sitter, we’d definitely reach out to Eri again. Thank you for watching Koda last minute and I’m glad he had a good time! 😊”

About: I'd love to welcome your dog into our family (with 2 kids, ages 9 and 12) for daytime visits or overnight stays.

I am working primarily from my home office, so I will be available to walk, play with, and keep your dog company throughout the day. I provide at least three daily walks on a nearby walking path, plus additional indoor and supervised backyard play time (on leash, as our yard is unfenced).
About: I have had dogs almost my entire life. I have been pet sitting on dog vacay and rover for the last several years , before my dog Dora passed away two years when she was 14 years of age. I stopped pet sitting , and was grieving for a while. I am now ready to get back to dog sitting , and want to experience joy of pets again, even if on a temporary basis. I have two children , 8 and 4, and they have been exposed to dogs and cats until recently . We want to have a chance to play with doggies again, and love them! At the moment I am unemployed, and home with my 4 year old. A dog would easily fit in our daily routine, as the dog parents require. I live in a condo association, on the third floor. I do not have a yard, but I will be able to walk your doggie.

Truly a great dog walker!”

“Adonis was with Julie for a 2 week stay and had a blast! He quickly settled into her house and almost immediately took ownership of protecting her from all squirrels and other animals outside the house. He loves to play and Julie was awesome about sending us pictures of his stay with her. She was great with his food and even went the extra mile to feed him alternate food when he was not eating one day. Adonis bonded with Julie and we would love to have him stay with her again!”

“Guillermo did a fantastic job with my dog, Kiara. She gets nervous around new people, so it’s always tough for me to leave her. I booked an overnight stay with Guillermo to see if they’d be a good fit, and it went perfectly. As soon as I arrived, I felt comfortable. Guillermo showed me around the house so I could see where Kiara would stay, which put me at ease. Kiara quickly warmed up to him and didn’t seem upset when I left. During the day, Guillermo sent thoughtful updates and photos, which really helped me relax. When I came back to pick up Kiara, she was happy to see me. She gave me a few kisses and then settled on the couch like she was at home. I really appreciated Guillermo’s care, communication, and the calm, friendly atmosphere he created. I have already booked with him again.”
