Highly-rated overnight sitters - Chupadero
“Amanda was great. She is very friendly it is easy to see she is a dog lover. Amanda was very accommodating with my family emergency and my pups were looked after well. I will definitely look to her first next time.”
“Stephanie has a wonderfully large space for dogs to play outdoors and get plenty of exercise. One of our pets was recovering from an unexpected illness and needed medications and some very specific feeding instructions which was managed very diligently. We are very happy with the care our dogs received here.”
“Katie watched Tilly over Thanksgiving and was outstanding. We got fun pictures daily, and Tilly came home so happy, energized, and excited! She loves going to Katie's and runs into her home as soon as we get there. I highly recommend her.”
“Angel is simply THE BEST. No wonder she’s booked up months ahead, not only is she super responsible, attentive, and well-organized when it comes to looking after your fur baby, but she’s also so kind, loving and caring and you can tell that by how quickly the animals warm up to her. Angel took care of our VERY shy pup Malishka while we were on vacation, and it seemed like Malishka was having way more fun than we did, she made some new friends (which rarely happens) and looked so happy! Angel sent us daily photo updates and went above and beyond to make Malishka feel welcomed. She even gave her a bath before it was time to pick her up! Additionally, Angel paid daily visits to our kitty that stayed at our home and also made sure to keep us updated on her progress. Our kitty is quite timid and takes awhile to come out of her shell around strangers, but not with Angel, which just further shows how amazing Angel is with animals. This is definitely not the last time we will be leaving Malishka and Almond with Angel, thank you so so much!”
“Did a phenomenal job of caring for it cats while I moved into a new apartment post-divorce. Sent quite a few picture updates while respecting distance of the cat who likes her space. Would book again 😀”
“We have continued to use Candace as she is great with our Chihuahua. Our pup wags her tail when we walk up Candace's steps to drop her off, that's when we know she's in great hands.”
“Oban loves being at Melinda’s. We are thankful to her family (her brother Julian) helped look after Oban and her for taking such good care of him. Highly recommend her.”
““Michelle was fantastic. Her communication was excellent, she kept us updated regularly and always let us know how Lei Lei was doing. Lei Lei came home happy, loved, and clearly well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.””
“Joy was great!! She took Lilly to the park and made sure she was well taken care of. Joy has a great love for animals and it shows. I would be happy to leave Lilly with Joy anytime I’m away!!”
“Laurie was just great in every aspect of boarding our pooch Mikey. She was very accommodating to our schedule and was quick to respond to calls and text. But most importantly, Laurie was fantastic with Mikey. One could immediately tell she is at ease with dogs. I would certainly use Laurie on our next visit to Prescott and recommend her to our friends with dogs. John and Nancy F.”
“Brooke was phenomenal. I feel lucky to have found her and think she's an absolute gem on this app. I will definitely be using her again to take care of Luna, would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter! It was a huge relief to know that Luna was being so well attended to. She seemed really happy and like she settled in with Brooke right away and Brooke's communication was amazing. I received lots of updates and photos.”
“We felt so comfortable leaving our sweet pup with Tami. She has a loving, secure, and enriching home/outdoor area for the dogs. She sent us updates and photos everyday and was very communicative. We highly recommend and will definitely use Tami again!!!”
“Ziggy had a great time with Rachel! He quickly made himself at home and loved cuddling, playing ball, and going on walks with her. Rachel made it easy to coordinate around my travel plans and kept me updated on how Ziggy was doing.”
“Lisette went above and beyond for us and our pups! They enjoyed the fenced yard and the opportunity to play with Luna! Lisette gave us amazing updates with photos and videos even when our phone service was spotty she still sent us pupdates regularly. This was our first time using Rover, as well as leaving our pups with someone who was not in our family, and we could not be happier! We feel they received the best treatment from Lisette (sorry to my family members— but it’s true) that we have ever received for our dogs while we were out of town. Lisette is also all around so incredibly kind and caring. We won’t hesitate to reach out next time! :) thank you Lisette!”
“Heidi is a gem! She took care of our pup for 4 days on ridiculously short notice and Immediately put us all at ease with her confidence and graciousness. Heidi's dog is a delightful plus. We felt so reassured during our time away knowing that Sully was in such capable hands. Thank you, Heidi! This is the start of a beautiful friendship.”
“Mark was very kind and took great care of Piper. He sent me pics and took her for walks and trips to the dog park. He was good at communicating. I felt Piper was in good hands and I would definitely book with him again in the future.”
“Ian is the best. My 12 1/2-year-old golden retriever, KingTut, was with him for 2 weeks while I went on vacation. I am not sure which one of us had the best time! Ian sent photos and it was clear that Tut was having a blast. All feeding and medication instructions were done perfectly. My dog returned happy and healthy. I will definitely use Ian again. In fact, I will be booking with him shortly. Thank you Ian.”

“Stephanie is a lifesaver and was able to extend my booking after I got stranded in Dallas. What a relief my Queen's new bestie is always there to take good care of her when the human finds trouble!”
“What a great experience! Brittany was a very attentive cat sitter for the week. Incredibly knowledgeable about animal care, lots of updates and photos, great communication. She was professional, and asked lots of questions to make sure everything was covered beforehand. Would absolutely book her again in the future, no question.”
About: ***Please be sure to fill out your pet's entire profile and please do not ask me to contact you on an external phone number until you have been established as a client ; All initial communication must be through the Rover app or website*** Hi I'm Lana! I am trained in animal care and I have been pet sitting (mostly dogs) for more than 10 years. I think dogs are really special beings and beautiful companions. I enjoy being able to give pet parents peace of mind that their loved ones are being looked after with the utmost care and compassion. I have cared for dogs of various sizes, temperaments and ages. My naturally calm and patient disposition works well with most, especially dogs that may need more time and attention, such as shy dogs or older dogs. I am available for drop-in visits, overnights and walks. For walks and drop-in visits, I still have space open on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Mondays and Fridays are packed. If you have any questions about specific dates and times please feel free to send me a message here on Rover. I prefer to care for pets in their own home because it offers them a sense of security during a difficult emotional time while their humans are away. **PLEASE NOTE** I am only offering overnights to existing clients of 4-6 weeks or more, I feel it is important for me and your animal companions to get to know each other before their family goes away.
About: While I have not consistently provided pet care over the years, I have grown up with black labs in my family home, I have assisted my family in being puppy raisers for Leader Dog for the Blind, I have a French Bulldog and Bully of my own, over the years I have also volunteered at different animal shelters, currently at the Santa Fe Animal Shelter. All animals, but certainly dogs, have my whole heart. It would be my pleasure and honor to assist in taking care of yours. I’m fairly flexible being able to help out with your loved one. Currently, I’m available throughout the week days and weekends, from morning to evening. For now, I am only able to either drop in or take your loved one on a walk. I treat each animal as my own, they are each so pure and deserve to be treated with compassion and love.
About: Upon having taken care of pets for quite some time now. I have learned that all animals need love and compassion like us. I have cared for a variety of animals from mice to snakes and cats to goats. All of the time learning what to do and not to do with every animal. I've always had animals in my life ever since I was a little and I loved to care for them. I was a foster parent for cats a few years back but had to stop when we moved. I've own a few dogs and enjoy the company they have to give to us. I would be more than happy to take care of your babies and treat them as my own.
About: I love meeting new pups and helping them live their best life! Safety is first and I will communicate with you to make sure your dog enjoys their walk and has all their physical or medical needs accounted for. Having two of my own dogs I know how important it is to have peace of mind! My background in addition to pet care and sitting has also involved working with herding dogs on ranches as well as many years of horse, goat, and chicken care! Animals have always been a part of my life and I look forward to using my experience to help you and your animals. SAFETY, COMFORT, and FUN are my highest priorities! I work as a full time artist and walk dogs part time. Typically Sunday through Wednesday are my available days! I’m happy to accommodate your schedule as much as possible. Safety is the priority. Before any walks I will check with you about any safety concerns such as whether your dog has behavioral issues, escapes out the door or out of their collar, or any joint pain or physical limitations they may have. I will tend to stick to routes they are familiar with as this is usually the safest route.
About: Cats have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I currently have three of my own who mean the world to me. I’ve cared for cats from every walk of life and understand that each one has their own personality, boundaries, and needs. I approach every cat with patience, respect, and a calm energy that helps them feel safe and comfortable. I have hands-on experience caring for cats with medical needs, including closely monitoring a rescued kitten through kidney failure and administering IV treatments. I’m also comfortable giving eye drops and have cared for kittens with eye conditions requiring consistent medication. Whether your cat is playful and social or shy and independent, I take the time to understand their routines, cues, and comfort levels so they feel secure and well cared for while you’re away.
“Vicki did great with my fussy cat. Philly doesn’t take to strangers very easily but she became comfortable with Vicki quickly. Philly allowed Vicki to brush her and played some. Vicki also did some extras around the house as needed. Very good communication with pictures.”
About: I have grown up with cats pet sat for my neighbors and help take care 14 cats at my dad office I also have a diabetic cat of my own I take care of. Every morning/evening I give my cat his insulin feed him and my other three make sure their litter boxes are clean and let them outside in my backyard for play time. we have a wall guarding our backyard and when letting the cats out I stay outside with them to watch make sure they are safe
About: I’m a lifelong dog person who was selected by the cat distribution system three years ago, read I found an orange tabby under my mailbox. Two cats later (Snowball, a black cat, joined last year), I’ve fully converted. Through my own cats I’ve learned how much good communication matters when you’re away from your pets. I’m experienced with cats of different energy levels and needs, happy to accommodate medications, special diets, or any other requests. My goal is simple: make your cat not even notice you’re gone.
About: I have spent the last 3 years traveling while doing house/pet sits throughout Mexico, Arizona, California, Michigan, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia and Florida. My clients have included some high profile gigs in Bel-Air, Beverly Hills, Pacific Palisades, and Malibu, but I have also spent months at a time living off-grid in the Mexican jungle and caring for animals on remote farms. My experience dates back to 1991 when I worked my high school summer vacations on a sheep farm to escape city life. I love ALL animals, and have had a special connection with them, my whole life. Your pets (and babies) will be comfortable with me right away. I have been a mom to birds, rodents, fish, cats, and dogs. I do have some experience with reptiles, as well. I come with many years of hands-on experience with dogs and cats from the puppy/kitten stage through their golden years, so you can rest assured that any special accommodations your fur-baby may need will be met with kindness and compassion. I am particularly fond of, and experienced with Bully Breeds, Golden Retrievers, and Doodles of all varieties. I only provide pet care in the owners home as I’ve found it is a far less stressful experience for the pets and the sitter. It’s all I do, so your pets will get tons of attention and affection. I also do occasional dog walking gigs while I’m staying at your home. Your babies are my babies while you’re away, and your home will be treated with the utmost respect. Confidentiality and privacy are considered paramount, always.
About: I'm new to caring for dogs professionally, I've dog and cat sat for my neighbor several times over the last three years. While I'm new to taking care of pets in a professional setting, I've cared for dogs of all kinds since I was 10 years old. I've always felt a kindred spirit for animals and treat them with the utmost respect and care. From feeding, to bathing, and walking there isn't any dog I haven't enjoyed taking care of or spending time with. I recently lost my sweet boy who was in my life for seven years as he was an elder dog when I adpoted him and that's what brought me to Rover. I can guarantee your pet will be well cared for with me. I have a pretty open schedule right now since I only work part-time. I'm available after 3 pm Monday - Wednesday and have full availibility Thursday - Sunday to care for your fur baby. I'm available for boarding on weekends and can come to your fur baby as well if they prefer being at home. You can have peace of mind knowing that your fur baby will be cared for with full attention to detail. I can ensure a peaceful and calm environment when caring for your pets especailly senior pets who enjoy peace and quiet. If your pet needs a lot of outside time, walks are my specialty. Whatever your pet needs are I can accomodate. I'm always open to meeting with you and your pet to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable.
About: I enjoy caring for and being present with dogs. I am empathetic and always in tune with what others are feeling and need. I would love to hang out with your dogs! I have been around animals my entire life and find myself growing more drawn to caring for them every day. Currently, I do not have a dog of my own so I feel that taking care of your dogs would bring so much joy and fulfillment to my life. I enjoy all types of dogs and personalities and would enjoy getting to know your dogs! I feel others would describe me as patient, balanced, and responsible. Whether I'm just watching your dogs for the day or for an extended period of time you will be able to rest easily because they will be in warm, loving care.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Chupadero
“Dawn was an incredible sitter. She made my normally anxious German Shepherd feel at ease and gave her a wonderful experience playing with other dogs. Would absolutely book her again.”
“Stephanie and her boys were everything I could have asked for in a pet sitter and Rover experience! 🐶💜 Stephanie was wonderful and knew how to be attentive to my recent rescue and slightly nervous pup, Bella. Bella settled in really quickly and had the best day. I was so happy to see how happy she was when I picked her up at the end of the day. I would highly recommend Stephanie for pet sitting services. I will definitely be reaching out to her again for pet sitting so Bella can have more best days! Thank you so much Stephanie! Bella and I are both so grateful for your standard of care and concern. 💜”
About: I've had dogs and taken care of them since I was a young child. As an adult I’ve fostered dogs for over 5 years, taking care of all types of dogs. I have experience potty training, house breaking, bathing, and more. The dogs I have fostered came from all sorts of backgrounds; homeless, abusive households, neglected, seniors, disabled (blind, deaf, hard of hearing, missing limbs). I enjoy spending time with all animals and animals like to be around me. Currently working on my dog trainer certification I have a flexible schedule since I work from home most of the time. As a dog owner myself I spend a lot of time taking care of my dog. We go on walks 3 times a day, he gets treats, cuddles and play time all day long. On the weekends when the weather is nice we like to go for short hikes. Unfortunately I sustained a bad fall in 2024 and broke my back; so I am unable to care for any pet over 50lbs or any pet that is leash reactive or pulls on a leash. Since that would aggravate the injury and most definetely stop me from caring for pets all together; I hope you can understand! I have a small backyard where we go play fetch, we also love going to Frenchy’s or many of the other parks in the area for walks and off leash play when the weather is nice. Going for walks 2-3 times a day around the neighborhood as well
About: I am a reliable and compassionate pet sitter with experience in caring for dogs, cats, and other pets. I can provide in-home pet sitting services, overnight stays, including feeding and walking. My pets and I have a consistent daily routine. We enjoy morning and evening walks around our pet-friendly apartment community, plenty of playtime, and lots of attention throughout the day to keep everyone happy and active. Your pet will be treated like family in a clean, calm, and safe apartment environment. I provide constant supervision, regular potty breaks, fresh water, exercise, and plenty of love, ensuring they feel comfortable, relaxed, and secure during their stay.
“Kendell is excellent! We were worried about finding a sitter during a road trip, and we are lucky that Kendell was available to sit Bella for a couple of hours! She is very attentive and took good care of Bella, and even left us a summary of the walks she took her on and how Bella did with her dinner. We are extremely grateful!”
“We had such a good experience leaving our Weimaraner with Eva. Our dog has separation anxiety, but with Eva he actually relaxed and seemed to enjoy himself! We received pictures throughout the stay, so we could relax and enjoy ourselves too. The location is a big plus for spending time around the plaza. We can't say enough good things about our Rover experience with Eva. Would definitely recommend.”
“Our dog had great fun playing with the dogs at the sitter 😁. Laurie took them on a hike one day and our dog had a great time and was nice and tired out for a calm evening 😊. Lily was very excited to go back for her second day! You should be forewarned that her house is down a dirt road with ups and downs. Would definitely recommend this sitter for a social and energetic dog”
“We brought our older dog with us to Santa Fe and realized that in order to see all the lovely art museums we needed to find someone to care for Zippy. Zippy has separation anxiety and we were worried about leaving him for an extended time. We had nothing to worry about. He really enjoyed his time with Victoria! He got to play with other dogs, watch the chickens, take walks. He was living his best life, while we were able to enjoy Santa Fe dog free. It was a win-win for everyone. I highly recommend Victoria for daycare.”
About: Caring for animals comes naturally, and nothing makes me happier than making them feel safe, loved, and at ease. Animals have always been part of my life, as I grew up on a farm surrounded by dogs, cats and more! I've raised puppies from 3 days old, having to bottle feed and potty train...all the way up to seniors, managing meds and declining capabilities. I volunteered at a shelter in Mexico for a year. Through that experience, I was exposed to a lot of medical and behavioral situations, which taught me a lot. My partner and I both work from home, which means your pup will never be lonely. We know how to make dogs feel comfortable, and aim to have them feel like they've taken a little vacation, too! I know leaving your pets can be stressful. I send lots of updates and pictures, so you can feel relaxed and assured your pup is happy and healthy. My partner and I work from home, and have a lot of flexibility in our schedule. We currently have a 10lb Chihuahua, who was left on our doorstep with umbilical cord still attached! At 2 years old now, he's a pretty easy going guy, and likes to be part of a pack from time to time. He usually gets 2 walks a day around the neighborhood. Or, we will do a nice long walk or hike, if time allows. We feed twice a day and provide treats for being a good dog, of course. I love to take work breaks to play tug of war or fetch. Belly rubs are available every night for all four legged residents of the house who want them! Any furry guests would fit seemlessly into our routine. We have a fenced yard, and are always home when pets are in the yard. No dangerous chemicals or pet hazards in our house. Generally, we aren't away from for more than a few hours. We are also happy to take them with us, whenever possible.
“Anaissa is a true dog person and was an excellent sitter for our dog. We’re on an extended road trip and our dog has been feeling a bit stressed. Anaissa wasn’t phased and introduced our dog to others slowly. She kept us updated throughout the day, and we picked up a tired and happy pup. I highly recommend her!”
“Iosif was amazing! Great communication from start to finish sent me updates throughout the day with videos and pictures. Iosif was very careful and wanted to make sure that his dog and my dog got along and asked the appropriate questions I was traveling, but if I am in Santa Fe again, I need pet sitting he’ll be my first choice.”
“Tamera provided doggie daycare for our two dogs while we humans enjoyed Santa Fe. Her rural home was perfect with a fenced backyard, and the dogs were allowed inside the house. Our dogs were well cared for, and loved playing with her dogs! We recommend Tamera, and we will utilize her services again next time we are in the Santa Fe/Eldorado area. Thanks, Tami!”
“Melinda took amazing care of our senior dog, Doster. He usually hates being away from us, but he was comfortable with her immediately and even went up with tail wagging to say goodbye. They had a successful & fun day, & we’re grateful for the excellent care. :)”
About: I’ve taken care of pets for the majority of my life. My own, as well as friends and family. I have 30+ years experience with cats, and have pet-sitted many kinds of dog breeds ranging from chihuahua to Great Pyrenees I currently do not have a job, so I am mostly available all day for pet care, save for a few hours a day when I go into town for errands. I have a large sunlit home with a yard (unfenced) and large patio area for play. I have no other pets, so yours would receive all my love 🤍
About: Been doing this a long time! Very experienced and welcoming to young and old. Plenty of space for your pup or your pack. Welcome to your dogs home away from home I’m retired home all day every day. I would be onsite to watch over your dog or your dog pack. Retired from public service, put in 30 years!! Fully fenced yard, doggy door, an acre to roam on. Inviting quiet neighborhood with references if needed. I’d welcome one and all to come stay with me

“Brittany is INCREDIBLE. She is made to be working with animals! I feel blessed to be able to leave my pup in her care when I’m at work. She’s professional, provides great updates (with photos), and is an all around wonderful human. I am so lucky to have found Brittany to care for my puppy.”

“Lana is great! Very communicative. Keeps me super up to date. Really goes above and beyond when trying to form a bond with a dog. My dog can be a stubborn and shy girl when it comes to new people, and Lana has really taken the time to let my dog get to know her with a great deal of patience.”
About: I love all animals and have extensive experience with cats and dogs, from personally owning them myself to volunteering with local shelters. I have done it all. I am pretty flexible. My daily routine already includes taking care of my 5 rescue cats, which includes feeding them and cleaning their litter areas. I like to make sure I make the pets feel at ease however I can. I know this experience can be anxiety-inducing, and I am patient with all kinds of personalities.

“Angel takes such great care of our pup! She’s quick to respond and flexible with our schedule. Can tell from the pictures she sends that our dog is happy and enjoys walks with Angel.”
About: I have had cats and dogs my entire life and first started dog sitting as a teenager. I love animals and getting to know their individual personalities and how much joy they can add to our lives! Having the peace of mind that your fur-baby is safe and happy while you are away allows you to enjoy your trip to the fullest. I work part time remotely and pet care will easily fit into my everyday routine as I set my work hours and as such they are flexible I will provide whatever care is required for your pet’s wellbeing with love and patience. Whether they require special care, or just need a friend to walk around the neighborhood with I am happy to help!

About: I have spent the last 3 years traveling while doing house/pet sits throughout Mexico, Arizona, California, Michigan, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia and Florida. My clients have included some high profile gigs in Bel-Air, Beverly Hills, Pacific Palisades, and Malibu, but I have also spent months at a time living off-grid in the Mexican jungle and caring for animals on remote farms. My experience dates back to 1991 when I worked my high school summer vacations on a sheep farm to escape city life. I love ALL animals, and have had a special connection with them, my whole life. Your pets (and babies) will be comfortable with me right away. I have been a mom to birds, rodents, fish, cats, and dogs. I do have some experience with reptiles, as well. I come with many years of hands-on experience with dogs and cats from the puppy/kitten stage through their golden years, so you can rest assured that any special accommodations your fur-baby may need will be met with kindness and compassion.

About: I’ve loved furbabies (dogs & cats and basically any living being) my whole life and grew up helping care for them from a young age. My pup Taz, who I adopted at 10 weeks old, has taught me so much about canine behavior and care. He is currently almost five years old and thriving. I used to work fully remote and we've lived the best van life for a few years, so he's been through and seen it all from coast to coast. I also have over seven years of hands-on experience helping my mom, a dog breeder, care for 20+ litters of puppies. Through that, I’ve built strong skills in puppy care, socialization, and basic training. I’ve even helped certify therapy dogs and participated in visits to hospitals and community spaces, so I’m comfortable handling dogs in different environments. I work a hybrid schedule, (mainly home most of the time) which allows me to give your furbabies lots of attention throughout the day. I make sure they get regular walks, playtime, and personalized care so they feel safe, comfortable, and well-loved. As a deaf person, I’m highly observant and attentive, which naturally carries into how I care for your furbabies. I build pet care into my daily routine to ensure they receive consistent attention, structure, and love. Each day typically starts with a morning walk or playtime, followed by feeding and a quick check in to make sure your furbaby is comfortable and doing well. With a super flexible schedule, I can also include enrichment, play, and outdoor outings when appropriate, while balancing that with plenty of calm rest and supervised downtime. In the evening, we usually have another walk or play session, followed by dinner and a relaxed wind down. Overall, I maintain a steady routine of walks, meals, play, rest, and close observation so your furbabies feel secure, supported, and well cared for. I provide steady supervision, regular walks, and engaging activities like playtime. With your approval, I can also take dogs out for walks and social time at a nearby park. I keep a calm, structured routine with a balance of activity and downtime, and I always follow your furbaby's usual schedule to help them feel comfortable and settled. My pup, Taz, is a social butterfly! He adores and gets along with every single pup he has ever encountered from all over the United States while on the road. If your furbaby wants company, he will be the perfect duo. If your furbaby wants to chill, he will gladly give them space to chill. I call Taz the "Rover Whisperer".

About: Bachelors in animal science, with an emphasis in companion animal care and medicine. Two years veterinary experience. I have companion animal training experience and education. Pet care is an important part of my weekly routine. I dedicate time to exercise, feeding, and monitoring pets’ health, ensuring they get the attention and care they need every day. This routine helps me stay connected with animals and maintain my skills in handling different needs, from playful puppies to senior pets requiring extra support. I provide attentive care by staying in owners’ homes or doing daily check-ins, ensuring pets feel comfortable, safe, and well-cared for in their own environment.
About: Look no further!! I’m the answer to all your dog’s needs… I respond very quickly, so please reach out. Let’s do a meet and greet ASAP!! Please read my profile and be sure to check out my photo gallery where you’ll see what kind of fun that we have on a daily basis. My reviews should give you an idea of what to expect when you book with me. I will send tons of pictures and videos every day. Headed out of town?? I’d love to stay with your dogs and create a seamless stress free opportunity for you to get away. Or we can all stay at my place with AC, a fenced in yard, and many neighborhood parks nearby. My house is in a safe and quiet neighborhood right across the street from Frenchy Field. Rest assured that they will be cared for as if they were my own while having the comfort and familiarity of your home, or the tons of fun that goes on at my place. I love all dogs unconditionally. I can provide a much smaller pack environment for your dog rather than a kennel where there could be 50 dogs at a time. Yikes!! I only accept dogs from one to two owners at a time so please plan ahead as I may get booked very quickly. This ensures that I can give your dogs the attention and care that they deserve. My daily routine revolves around my pack needs. Our routine is generally foods, walks, parks, poops, pees, plays, sleeps, repeat…. I am flexible and can accommodate pretty much any type of needs for your pets. I am ready to come care for your pets whenever I am available. Everything from simple walks and feeding to extended stays at my place or yours, it sounds like fun to me. I have a full time best friend and dog named Spreckles who is pretty close to perfect. His nickname is Sprex. He is Hawaiian, so naturally he is very friendly and mellow with tons of Aloha. My number one priority is pack safety. I follow a daily routine and consistent schedule with my pack. Our day always starts with a nice walk to a nearby park. I use my own custom made leash system that I can walk many dogs at the same time, safely and securely. When we’re not out walking or at the park we do a lot of chilling and hanging out around our house and fenced in yard. I promote the pack mentality among my dogs as I am always their pack leader who ensures their safety and protection all the time. I’m glad to use your dog’s crate at my house whenever I am not home if needed (not typical). Sometimes I take the pack out on planned field trips, usually afternoons and weekends, to various places throughout the area. Frenchy Park is right across the street from my house and super fun for the pups. I treat and protect each dog as if they were my own and love them all unconditionally. FYI, I don’t introduce my pack to other dogs that we don’t know, to avoid any unwanted drama and to keep everyone safe. New dogs really shouldn’t be introduced while on leashes anyway. I speak the language of dogs and am confident around them always. I am always their alpha who provides a fun and safe space for my pack.

“Amanda was great. She is very friendly it is easy to see she is a dog lover. Amanda was very accommodating with my family emergency and my pups were looked after well. I will definitely look to her first next time.”
“Stephanie has a wonderfully large space for dogs to play outdoors and get plenty of exercise. One of our pets was recovering from an unexpected illness and needed medications and some very specific feeding instructions which was managed very diligently. We are very happy with the care our dogs received here.”
“Katie watched Tilly over Thanksgiving and was outstanding. We got fun pictures daily, and Tilly came home so happy, energized, and excited! She loves going to Katie's and runs into her home as soon as we get there. I highly recommend her.”
“Angel is simply THE BEST. No wonder she’s booked up months ahead, not only is she super responsible, attentive, and well-organized when it comes to looking after your fur baby, but she’s also so kind, loving and caring and you can tell that by how quickly the animals warm up to her. Angel took care of our VERY shy pup Malishka while we were on vacation, and it seemed like Malishka was having way more fun than we did, she made some new friends (which rarely happens) and looked so happy! Angel sent us daily photo updates and went above and beyond to make Malishka feel welcomed. She even gave her a bath before it was time to pick her up! Additionally, Angel paid daily visits to our kitty that stayed at our home and also made sure to keep us updated on her progress. Our kitty is quite timid and takes awhile to come out of her shell around strangers, but not with Angel, which just further shows how amazing Angel is with animals. This is definitely not the last time we will be leaving Malishka and Almond with Angel, thank you so so much!”
“Oban loves being at Melinda’s. We are thankful to her family (her brother Julian) helped look after Oban and her for taking such good care of him. Highly recommend her.”
““Michelle was fantastic. Her communication was excellent, she kept us updated regularly and always let us know how Lei Lei was doing. Lei Lei came home happy, loved, and clearly well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.””
“Brooke was phenomenal. I feel lucky to have found her and think she's an absolute gem on this app. I will definitely be using her again to take care of Luna, would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter! It was a huge relief to know that Luna was being so well attended to. She seemed really happy and like she settled in with Brooke right away and Brooke's communication was amazing. I received lots of updates and photos.”
“We felt so comfortable leaving our sweet pup with Tami. She has a loving, secure, and enriching home/outdoor area for the dogs. She sent us updates and photos everyday and was very communicative. We highly recommend and will definitely use Tami again!!!”
“Lisette went above and beyond for us and our pups! They enjoyed the fenced yard and the opportunity to play with Luna! Lisette gave us amazing updates with photos and videos even when our phone service was spotty she still sent us pupdates regularly. This was our first time using Rover, as well as leaving our pups with someone who was not in our family, and we could not be happier! We feel they received the best treatment from Lisette (sorry to my family members— but it’s true) that we have ever received for our dogs while we were out of town. Lisette is also all around so incredibly kind and caring. We won’t hesitate to reach out next time! :) thank you Lisette!”
“Heidi is a gem! She took care of our pup for 4 days on ridiculously short notice and Immediately put us all at ease with her confidence and graciousness. Heidi's dog is a delightful plus. We felt so reassured during our time away knowing that Sully was in such capable hands. Thank you, Heidi! This is the start of a beautiful friendship.”
“Mark was very kind and took great care of Piper. He sent me pics and took her for walks and trips to the dog park. He was good at communicating. I felt Piper was in good hands and I would definitely book with him again in the future.”
“Ian is the best. My 12 1/2-year-old golden retriever, KingTut, was with him for 2 weeks while I went on vacation. I am not sure which one of us had the best time! Ian sent photos and it was clear that Tut was having a blast. All feeding and medication instructions were done perfectly. My dog returned happy and healthy. I will definitely use Ian again. In fact, I will be booking with him shortly. Thank you Ian.”
“Calista and her roommates were amazing! They loved having my pups! With her professional expertise in animal care I felt very safe leaving them with her. She kept me updated everyday and whenever I asked with pics and videos! I can’t thank them enough! Highly recommended 100%”

“Christopher was a very reliable sitter who communicated clearly and definitely has a lot of experience! Our pup loved boarding with Christopher and we loved knowing that she was safe and happy!”
“Tara provided a perfect “home away from home” for our cocker. Her dogs and ours were compatible, there were Lots of walks in a nearby dog park, access to outside fenced yard during the rest of the time, and Coco was a Happy Camper when we picked her up.
