“Angela, (with dog Henry, and cat Dingus) created a Fantastic Christmas for Freddie with an absolute last minute booking after our other potential boarder was not a good fit. Great photos and video.”

“This was Ziggys first time staying with Nadine and he was so excited and ran up the stairs to her front door. He must have remembered Nadine and her fur babies from our meet and greet. Ziggy seemed so happy after his weekend with Nadine. Her backyard is amazing. We’ll definitely book again!”

“Julianne and her lovely family are a Godsend for me and my Italian greyhound, Mia! When I went on vacation for eight days, they were so good about sending pictures and keeping me posted on her progress. Mia has never stayed with anyone other than family before so I was able to schedule an overnight stay after our initial meet and greet, which I feel was super helpful in helping Mia feel more comfortable. When we initially arrived, Mia Walked right in the front door with a calm sense of knowing where she was, and they were consciously attentive to her needs and well-being - she definitely did not lack in the cuddle department and also made a new friend with their cat, mango! I would most definitely recommend Julianne and her family, most especially for a smaller breed that needs more of that one on one attention. I have a short trip planned in December and will continue to use their services for as long as they will be available!”

“Jessica took such great care of PB while we were away! I can tell she kept him busy and active by how sleepy he’s been since coming home. He’s one happy guy, and it’s clear he had a great time with her!”

“Diana took great care of our dog Sadie. She walked her to the park and sent us pics through out the day. There were other dogs to play with, which Sadie loved. I'll use Diana again!”

“Nancy is so wonderful - a safe and loving temporary home for our very special little guy. We not only felt comfortable knowing Nancy was giving Teddy the best care, but also that they were probably both enjoying each others company while we were away. Teddy came home in one piece and was his same normal, happy self. Thank you so much for opening your home to Teddy, Nancy - we hope for more visits soon!”


“Jean is an outstanding sitter. Everything from the meet and greet to picking my dog Layla up in the morning went phenomenal. Excellent communication, very friendly, overall wonderful place for my pup to stay with plenty of room to play around and or relax, and very considerate sending plenty of updates throughout the day to make me feel more comfortable! I would highly recommend!”

“Hanlan went above and beyond what I expecting! We left our pug with her for 5 days and she was always sending cute pictures from his day. She took him on long walks, and the dog park multiple days. We really felt Bubz was left in amazing care, and would choose her again next time we go out of town!”


“I cannot say enough positive things about Alyssa! I give her 11/10 stars. She was so absolutely wonderful with my pup, kind and responsive and caring. This is the best Rover experience I've had thus far by miles. I will definitely be rebooking in the future 💜🐶”

“I could not have asked for a better family to watch my dog! Samantha and Brian were so kind and accommodating with my older dog! My dog had some issues initially acclimating to the new environment and they went above and beyond to make him feel at home. To the extent that Brian slept in the living room with him, where my dog felt most comfortable. Their children and their pup were wonderful with him as well! The family even accommodated me picking my dog up a night early since our holiday plans changed. This family really was a blessing when we needed to leave our dog for the holidays! Thank you again!!”

“Barbara is a really warm person who my dog took a shine to right away. I was very comfortable leaving my little buddy with her and it sounds like they had a great time 🙂”

“Bonnie is the best! Our Shiba loves going there. We always feel and know that we areeaving him in the best hands! She walks and jas environment that he enjoys! He is ways excited when he sees her! We would 100% recommend her!”

“Sue was amazing. I have a very spoiled, high energy pup that never slows down. She's always up to something. Sue sent updates and pictures several times a day. Cocoa was very happy when we got home.”

“Tawny was amazing with our pup Zoë. She immediately welcomed her and made her feel right at home! Tawny also kept us updated on how Zoë was doing throughout her stay, and sent along some really great pictures. Zoë also loved her stay. As a shy girl, sometimes it takes her a while to warm up to new situations. Although, she immediately warmed up to Tawny and had a great stay.”

“I can not say enough about Eileen, Rich, Shadow, Peanut and Piglet! They accepted both of our fur babies like one of the family. We had to board both my 10 year old lab and my parents’ 9 year old lab for a 10 day vacation and I was a mess over it. However once we met these 2 human angels and saw the love they had for their animals and the compassion they have for fur parents that are unable to take their family members with them, my heart and mind and soul were put at ease! Their place is a haven! Plenty of shaded yard thanks to a canopy of oak trees, multiple opportunities for the dogs to explore, play and lounge! My parents dog enjoyed the entertainment she got from just watching the chickens and lounging in the pool! Our boy enjoyed his playtime and relaxation along with the loves and cuddles they provided! They were even amazing with our 9 year old human daughter who had a million questions and a never ending need to explore! This has been absolutely the best experience ever!!!”

About: I've had cats my whole life and have taken care of my own two cats for about 3 years now. I've done drop in care and pet siting. I enjoy spending time with cats and animals in general and can provide a safe and comfortable environment for your cats while you are away.
“I’ve worked with Sarah for a while now, she does drop ins to care for my three kitties. She’s been a lifesaver: reliable, thorough, detail oriented and my kitties love her! So grateful to have found her!”

“Lindsey did a great job taking care of our two pups during the daily visits. Lindsey even offers to stay longer than requested to keep the pups company!”

“Due to no fault of his own, we learned through this experience that apparently my kitties would rather bond with females. Yet, Amir pulled through, going far and beyond to find that bond. He, on his own, bought toys and treats, trying to coax them out of their shells. He searched our house through and through trying to find our one kitty, who insisted on hiding the entire time he was in our home. If, and when, you are in a situation where you have to leave your animals in the hands of another - for us, this meant traveling of state and really needing someone we could trust to be our best replacements - Amir is your guy! If, and when, we are in need again, we will be calling him”

About: I currently look after a special-needs cat, which includes performing daily eye treatments. I am comfortable following complex care instructions and providing the patient, attentive medical support that senior pets or those with health challenges require.

“Angela was fantastic. She kept our kitties well-fed and taken care of while we were out of town, even purchasing extra litter when it ran out before we came home. I'd hire her again for sure!”

“Lily is awesome! She takes great care of Shy and Shy loves her. I always know Shy is in good hands when Lily is watching her. Lily keeps me updated with pictures and texts. She's 100 percent reliable and professional. I highly recommend Lily and grateful to have her watch Shy.”

“Our boy can be pretty anxious but Angela and her babies Henry and Dingus were so good to our pup. We were in town on vacation and just needed a day to run some errands so we’re so thankful she was able to make space in her house so last minute. Would absolutely recommend and we will definitely be a repeat customer if we’re back in town!”

“Blessed finally someone I can trust Eileen and Rich found me on Rover. They were looking for a sitter for there pup as their beloved long time sitter had moved. Rich came to my place with piglet for meet and greet with my 3 smalls . He shared with me how much anxiety he was having trying to find the exact right fit for piglet. I have 3 dogs. Doyle is my fear dog (He has come ALONG ways in 5 short years. He immediately ran up to Rich and put his feet on his legs so he could pet him. They watched the pack for me one day and it was the first time I had ever left Doyle with anyone and even tho I was a little nervous that Doyle would try to escape to come find me I knew they would be watching him like a hawk. Just a short time later I received a photo from Eileen comfy on the couch with all the dogs (even Doyle!) Laying on her and snuggling. But honestly, I already knew on my heart that they would care and lovey dogs almost as much me by the number of dog sitters they interviewed and even coming back for a second meet and greet just to make sure everything was going to work out. I will also add that piglet is very well behaved has excellent social skills , and over all just a well balanced dog. Says a lot about her parents! I know once you see how well cared and loved your pet is there you will not to leave them with anyone else! I'm so grateful our paths crossed and I can now feel comfortable leaving my littles when momma needs some me time! Thank you Rich and Eileen!”

About: I am a lifelong animal lover who currently shares my home with a beloved dog and three wonderful cats. My dog is truly my child, and I ensure he thrives through a strict routine of timely feedings, regular walks, and plenty of interactive play throughout the day. This personal commitment to my own pets' happiness and health is exactly what I bring to every animal I care for. What sets me apart is my experience with specialized care; I currently look after a special-needs cat, which includes performing daily eye treatments. I am comfortable following complex care instructions and providing the patient, attentive medical support that senior pets or those with health challenges require. Whether your pet needs high-energy exercise or gentle, specialized attention, I will treat them with the same love and devotion I give my own family. My daily routine is entirely structured around my pets. We start the day at a sharp 8:00 AM for morning breakfast and plenty of outside time. Because I work from home with a flexible schedule, your pet will receive constant companionship, frequent potty breaks, and interactive play throughout the day. Our evenings are calm and cozy, ending with soft paw nudges for bedtime. Whether your pet needs a strict medication schedule or just someone to be there for afternoon naps, I have the time and dedication to make them feel right at home. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I provide a secure environment with a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor play. To give you peace of mind, I am happy to send frequent photo and video updates throughout the day so you can see how much fun they are having. For walks, I utilize multiple leashes and harnesses to ensure every outing is secure and controlled.

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kelsi! From day one, it was clear how genuinely caring, patient, and attentive she is with my puppy Lucy. She treats her like her own, making sure she’s safe, happy, well-exercised, and loved. I always receive great updates and photos, which gives me total peace of mind knowing Lucy is in such good hands. Her reliability, communication, and obvious love for dogs truly sets her apart. I am so grateful to have found someone I trust completely and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care for their dog—especially puppies!”

“What a fantastic oasis for our pup! She had an amazing time here, was lovingly welcomed and well taken care of. We would have her stay again if we were in town longer. This family is fantastic and provides a wonderful environment for dogs. Thank you!”

“Finn seemed to really enjoy his time at Nicole and Colton’s. He came home a tired and relaxed pup. Great piece of mind for us that he was in good hands. He will definitely visit them again!”

“Laura was prompt in her initial response and so friendly, helpful and communicative in taking care of our two small dogs in her home while we were in Portland for a family wedding. We had a full day of events and were able to relax and enjoy ourselves, knowing they were in such good hands. We highly recommend Laura for pet care and would definitely contact her for future appointments. Jennifer & Matt”


“Susie and her wonderful family are absolutely a dream come true! I'm so happy I found them. I've used daycare facilities for my little pug, Olive, in the past and she used to come home semi-traumatized by the experience. Definitely not the case with Susie. The second we pulled into her driveway, Olive had her tail wagging and couldn't wait to spend the day with Susie and family! Susie was sooo sweet and I know her daughter loved little Olive too...I can't speak highly enough of them. Seriously, if you're debating who to go with for your doggy...go with Susie. She is kind, extremely flexible, experienced and has such a warm and inviting home. Thank you so much for taking care of my little fur baby...10/10 would recommend and will 100% be taking Olive to Susie for all future daycare!?❤”


“Ava is an amazing host! This was Dexter's second time with her, although a much shorter stay, Dexter came back home wiped out from all of the playing. I feel very comfortable whenever Dexter's over there playing because I know he's getting love and attention! Highly recommended.”

“Tawny was absolutely amazing with my 10 month old puppy, Stella - truly treated her as if she was her own. Additionally, she was always incredibly flexible with hours, sent awesome update photos throughout the day, and made the whole process a delight. I would highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been rescuing animals for over 22 years-I’ve cared for big, slobbery Rottweilers to tiny, judgmental cats, fish who pretend not to notice me, and guinea pigs that somehow eat like linebackers. I’ve handled rabbits with attitude, a special needs Yorkie who runs the house, and our Texas rescue Lucy—who I’m pretty sure thinks she rescued me. I have a designated bedroom with a ring camera just for my furry friends! We can keep the pets isolated in their own space the entire time, or they can have free roaming of the house. Options for those pets who need less sensory and more quiet and privacy. I work full-time at a hospital Monday through Friday, so my availability for more hands-on, all-day care is best on weekends. During the week, I’m still happy to offer overnight stays, I just like to mention that-because on weekdays, there may be up to an eight-hour stretch without potty breaks while I’m at work. I live in a fantastic walking neighborhood and can happily meet you in yours or bring them to mine. Can never get too much exercise in! Plus, my big fully fenced in yard is at their disposal.
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover, having cats growing up and later volunteering with dogs at rescue orgs. My time as a training class assistant for Puppy Manners and New Dog Basics at the San Francisco SPCA gave me valuable skills in positive reinforcement training, socialization, and handling dogs of all temperaments. Beyond dogs and cats, I also have experience with horses, having owned and leased several. I’m comfortable with feeding, turnout, mucking stalls, brushing, and general equine care, making me a well-rounded caregiver for multi-pet households. What sets me apart is my ability to care for pets at all life stages—from energetic puppies learning the ropes to senior pets needing extra patience and comfort. Whether it’s structured walks, reinforcing good manners, or providing a calm and loving presence, I tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs. With a deep understanding of pet behavior across species and a passion for ensuring their happiness and well-being, I go beyond basic care to provide engaging, enriching, and compassionate pet companionship. After our Husky mix’s TPLO surgery in Fall 2024, I’ve decided to make pet care my main focus. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and this shift allows me to dedicate my time and energy to providing top-quality care for pets in my community. With a flexible schedule, I’m available for daily walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and customized care based on each pet’s needs. Whether it’s a midday walk, feeding and playtime, or extra TLC for pets recovering from surgery, I tailor my services to fit both routine and special care requirements. My experience with dogs, cats, and even horses means I’m comfortable handling a variety of schedules—from structured training sessions to free-spirited outdoor adventures. No matter the time of day, I ensure pets get the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or my clients’ homes. At my home, we have a fully fenced yard, providing a secure and spacious area for dogs to play and explore. Your pup will also have built-in companionship with our two friendly dogs, ensuring plenty of socialization and fun. For exercise and enrichment, we have scenic trails nearby, perfect for peaceful walks in the woods—giving dogs a chance to sniff, explore, and enjoy the great outdoors. In my clients’ homes, I respect each pet’s unique routine and environment, providing attentive, reliable, and compassionate care. Whether it’s reinforcing training, maintaining feeding schedules, or ensuring a calm presence while you're away, I treat every pet like they’re my own. No matter the setting, I focus on creating a safe, stress-free, and enriching experience for pets—so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in loving hands.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 11, from pet-sitting friends dogs and cats, to helping out at the shelter, though my pride and joy is my shelter pup Maggie, who I had the pleasure of training, and had been my buddy for 13 years. She was the absolute best, and I miss her so so much. Since Maggie passed, I now have the pleasure of raising and training yet another shelter pup, who is a great dog with lots of spunk. Her name is Luma, she’ll be 3 in April 2025, and she’s great with kids, dogs, and cats! I go to church on Sunday mornings and Tuesday evenings, and I’m currently an online student, so my schedule is pretty flexible. If you have any further questions feel free to enquirer to see if I’m available or if we can work something out! I look forward to hearing from you :) Currently, I am available for pet and house sitting, as well as walking and drop-ins. When house and pet sitting I will follow the rules you set for your home, as well as treating your pets as my own, which means spoiling them with lots of snuggles and top notch care!
About: I've had dogs, cats, fish, hamsters and birds for the past 40 + years. I want this experience to be a great one that is stress free for you and your animals. If they are use to a certain routine eat at a certain time, walks ect. Please let me know. I will treat them like they are my own. I am available for holidays and last minute trips I would love to care for your fur kids. I have lots of love to give & would love to spend time with them. I can adapt to any situation. I'm here to make your animals experience go smoothly. I know us humans can experience anxiety & I feel that animals feel the same thing (I believe). I will do my best to make this experience great for all of us. I am good at multi tasking. I will give 110%. I will always make your animals a priority when I'm watching them. I want this to be a great experience for all of us. I will care for them like they were my very own. I will follow your pets normal routine and do my very best to keep them on their normal schedule. I want them to feel like it is when the owners are at home with them.
About: Hello! My name is Courtney, and my partner’s name is George. We are both big animal lovers and come from homes where pets are part of the family. We would love to come spend some time with your pets! I have worked in childcare for many years and now as a nanny for the same family the past 5 years, so I am very patient and understanding and will be with your furry friends as well. We are responsible people and promise to keep our commitments we make to you and your animals! We look forward to hearing from you and getting to know your furry friends! My current work schedule will keep me away from the house for 6-8 hours during the week; but it is possible my partner would be there while I’m not. Our number one priority is too keep your pets safe, healthy, and happy while we are spending time with them. We will treat them as if they were our own!
“My husband and I work long days during the week which leaves our pouch, Dunkel, on his own for most of the day. Knowing Angela is exercising Dunkel and showing him some attention and love gives us peace of mind. It really is the best solution. Angela is great with our dog - fun, attentive and caring. Dunkel looks forward to his walks and the chance to play with his new neighborhood pup-buddies. We get a report, complete with photos and a brief description, after each walk. Angela has been fantastic and we would highly recommend her. ”

“Angela, (with dog Henry, and cat Dingus) created a Fantastic Christmas for Freddie with an absolute last minute booking after our other potential boarder was not a good fit. Great photos and video.”

“Jessica took such great care of PB while we were away! I can tell she kept him busy and active by how sleepy he’s been since coming home. He’s one happy guy, and it’s clear he had a great time with her!”

“Diana took great care of our dog Sadie. She walked her to the park and sent us pics through out the day. There were other dogs to play with, which Sadie loved. I'll use Diana again!”


“Jean is an outstanding sitter. Everything from the meet and greet to picking my dog Layla up in the morning went phenomenal. Excellent communication, very friendly, overall wonderful place for my pup to stay with plenty of room to play around and or relax, and very considerate sending plenty of updates throughout the day to make me feel more comfortable! I would highly recommend!”

“Bonnie is the best! Our Shiba loves going there. We always feel and know that we areeaving him in the best hands! She walks and jas environment that he enjoys! He is ways excited when he sees her! We would 100% recommend her!”

“Tawny was amazing with our pup Zoë. She immediately welcomed her and made her feel right at home! Tawny also kept us updated on how Zoë was doing throughout her stay, and sent along some really great pictures. Zoë also loved her stay. As a shy girl, sometimes it takes her a while to warm up to new situations. Although, she immediately warmed up to Tawny and had a great stay.”

“I can not say enough about Eileen, Rich, Shadow, Peanut and Piglet! They accepted both of our fur babies like one of the family. We had to board both my 10 year old lab and my parents’ 9 year old lab for a 10 day vacation and I was a mess over it. However once we met these 2 human angels and saw the love they had for their animals and the compassion they have for fur parents that are unable to take their family members with them, my heart and mind and soul were put at ease! Their place is a haven! Plenty of shaded yard thanks to a canopy of oak trees, multiple opportunities for the dogs to explore, play and lounge! My parents dog enjoyed the entertainment she got from just watching the chickens and lounging in the pool! Our boy enjoyed his playtime and relaxation along with the loves and cuddles they provided! They were even amazing with our 9 year old human daughter who had a million questions and a never ending need to explore! This has been absolutely the best experience ever!!!”

“Our plans changed suddenly due to a medical emergency, and she was very accomodating with pickup/dropoff as a result. The yard & house were spacious and lovely, and she kept our puppy feeling safe and loved.”

“So happy to have come across Jennifer and Eric before boarding our pup. Seeing photos of him snuggling their kids and knowing he was being loved on all week gave us so much peace of mind while we were on vacation. Thank you guys so much!”

“Finley loved spending time with Heather, her husband, and their furry bunch! He had so much fun making new friends and they took very good care of him for the few night we were gone. Heather sent pictures of the pups playing and was very communicative the whole time! We will definitely be using them again!”

“Can’t say enough good things! Our Labrador Winston has stayed with Nicole and Colton now multiple times for both overnight stays and daycare visits and he always comes home happy and tired. Nicole and Colton are the best!”

“Gary & Carol were able to watch our pup, Sterling last minute. They were both kind and Sterling seemed to enjoy his time there. He must've played hard with their adorable doodle as he napped most of the day at home after picking him up. Thank you Gary & Carol!”


“From the moment my two dogs met Peter they loved him. He is so good with doggies! The pictures he sent me showed just how happy they were with his family. They were given lots of time, affection, and fun, as well as special attention and grooming. They were with him because I was in the hospital for a medical procedure that went longer then expected. For me Peter's flexibility with my situation and the confidence he inspired made leaving my doggies in his hands in an already stressful time for me a peaceful decision. I would clearly recommend him!”

“Anastasia was great watching my dogs while I was out of town. She seemed to genuinely enjoy having them and was very flexible on drop off and pickup times. She would send pics of dogs to me and they always seemed happy and very well taken care of. I strongly recommend her.”

“Veronica was great with our two dogs. She has a calming manner and our nervous border collie when away from home appeared totally at ease in the sweet photos that she sent us. And I’m sure our husky enjoyed playing with her huskies. They all made a good pack. 😊”

“Julie was great! She took great care of our pup, Jax, while we were away from Christmas. It is obvious that she has years of experience with dogs and will show plenty of attention and love to your pup. Would definitely recommend booking a stay with Julie. Thanks again, Julie!”
