“Amy took our Great Pyranees for three days. Our GP is a new rescue, so she is not very predictable and still hasn't been to a groomer.... but Amy managed to understand her and love on her. She sent updates and pictures regularly and treated our girl like part of her family. Amy's flexibility was valuable behond words for us, given the circumstances. 100% recommendation 💛💛💛”
“Garrett and Monica were AMAZING with our Koe! They were so interactive with us, keeping our minds at ease for our entire trip and their pup Zeus was such a great play date and we will be using them again!”

“Daniela is amazing!! We couldn't be happier. She kept in touch with us throughout our pups extended stay, sending pictures and updates - all of which portrayed that she and her husband were almost in as much love with him as we are :) Being a skeptic, I feel that this is always my hesitation with dog boarding/sitters/kennels - but we are 100% confident that she is the real deal. So thankful - will definitely be booking again.”

“Suzanne and Brian were absolutely wonderful with my two dogs! They went above and beyond to make sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. They bathed them, trimmed their nails, played with them, cuddled with them, and even let them sleep on their bed. They also sent me regular pictures and updates throughout their stay, which gave me so much peace of mind and made me feel like I knew how my babies were doing while I was away. It was so clear that they treated my dogs with so much genuine care, love, and affection. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and I would be so happy to have them care for my dogs again. I highly recommend them! ❤️”

“Hannah is a exelent with dogs, a very loving ❤️ family, I'm very happy with her, she sent pictures and videos of my dog while I was on vacation 😀 she took very good care of my dog 🐕.”

“Dorothea and Richard took wonderful care of my elder dog. Their place is great for dogs and their dogs are very friendly. I will be asking them to take care of my dog again.”

“Allyse is an amazing dog sitter. She was very friendly and attentive to the needs of my old dog. Her backyard is large, her dog is super sweet and her house is very comfortable. I really appreciated how quick and responsive she was to all of my questions. I would definitely use her services again, and would highly recommend her to my friends. Thanks you, Allyse, for taking such good care of my Eddy!”

“Julianne and Ragen took great care of our pup Georgia, they were flexible and accommodating and get me up date while we were away. We will use them again in the future if we can!”

“We were so glad to leave Puggy and Wuggy in the care of Gabriella and Gabriel for 4 days . They were given medication and meals and play time . It eases our mind knowing the babies are safe”

“Herschel had a great stay with Susan! She was easy to make plans with and asked lots of questions about his care before his stay. I could tell she really wanted to make sure he was well taken care of. Her home has a safe outdoor area that he can run around in. He can be a handful but she did a great job with him!”

“Best sitter I’ve had through Rover for our beloved Rottie, who is the family’s fur baby! She provided updates and pictures throughout our vacay which we absolutely loved! Excellent communication & she treated our Rottie as if it were her own.”

“Amazing family who took excellent care of our 2 dogs!! We didn’t have a single worry while our dogs were with them. EXCELLENT communication during their stay, also. Our pups will DEFINITELY be staying again, they loved it!”

“Serena and her family did an excellent job taking care of our 4 month old puppy. She was given lots of attention and walks each day. And the update messages and pictures were a great way of keeping in touch during our first time away from this new member of our family. Thank you for making us feel comfortable with our choice of sitter!”

“Elizabeth was amazing, great at communicating and overall Mylo seems happy after picking him up! I was very nervous about spending a long trip without Mylo but Elizabeth helped with any nervousness and highly recommend her!”

“Coy had a wonderful time with Katie and she took great care of him. Multiple daily walks, potty breaks, play time, feedings, everything was done wonderfully. We couldn’t be more happy with the care and love provided to Coy. We will 100% use Katie for future bookings.”

About: I’m a caring, responsible, and dependable dog sitter who treats every dog like part of the family. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m happy to provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, cuddles, and companionship. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Weekends are my best days to provide the most care. I do work a part time job and will be able get back to your pup in the afternoon. I like to do walks in the morning before work and if they are dogs that like a good walk id like to bring them. I have a large fenced home where your dog can run, play and even dip in a kiddie doggy pool. I do have 2 dogs at home that are extremely friendly and would love to have play dates.
“Denise & her husband were wonderful with Henry. They gave him lots of love and snuggles, and I could tell when we picked him up that he had been well cared for. Denise will always be our first pick for our boarding needs!”

About: I have been involved with animals my entire life, my dad is a veterinarian, and I worked as a vet tech for over eight years. I’ve also volunteered at rehab rehabilitation centers.

I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits with flexible timing. I’m very attentive and treat every pet like family. I keep a clean, calm environment, stick to their normal routine, and closely follow any care instructions. I’m mindful about doors, leashes, and safety at all times, and I send regular updates so you feel totally at ease.
“Kailee is the best. She stayed at our house and took care of our three cat. Two who take a pill twice a day. She sent photos and updates. We had a late flight and Kalie left the lights on for us and collected the mail without us asking. We highly recommend her. She is awesome!”
“We had a wonderful experience and would absolutely recommend her! Our cats are extremely shy and decided to stay hidden during her visits, but that didn’t faze her at all. She arrived right on time, followed all of our instructions carefully, and did a fabulous job making sure everything was taken care of. It gave us such peace of mind knowing we had someone dependable and conscientious looking after things while we were away. She was reliable, responsible, and clearly takes her work seriously. We came home to everything just as it should be and two perfectly well-cared-for (if still very antisocial! 😂) cats. We would happily book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable pet sitter!”

“Thank you Aidyn for doing such a great job caring for Mr Skibbles! What can I say, you are a kind spirit and it shows in your love of animals. To be able to leave my kitten in such good care, really put my mind at ease. Thanks for the pictures and updates !”
“We were nervous about leaving out cats with someone we didn't know, but throughout every step of the process, Olivia was courteous, friendly, and explained the process. She cared very well for our cats and we will definitely use her again!”

“Jennifer has been wonderful with Winnie. She walks and plays with her during her drop in times and Winnie gets a break from the crate. I feel comfortable knowing she is in good hands. I highly recommend Jennifer!”

“Brandy responded quickly with concerns. Brandy let me know when she was there caring for my cat, Harvey and when she left. However, upon returning home the litter box had not been cleaned for a few days and the larger water bowl was a bit dirty. My other cat, Amelia passed away naturally before Brandy was scheduled to attend to her needs. I appreciate she attempted to get a reduce rate since she was only caring for one cat, Harvey. I have to say her work was good. It was comforting knowing my one cat was being taken care of since my other cat died just prior to her scheduled time. Also, Harvey is hard to spend time with since he is extremely shy. I did appreciate the pictures taken.”

“Review is for cat boarding. That sounds like a sport but you get the idea - my cats stayed with Kaelin, who had generous availability on short term notice. 2 cats, 6 nights, 0 problems. Kaelin is an absolute gem. Pre-stay she held a call to learn the specific needs of my cats and throughout their stay she picked up on components of their personalities I didn't even think to share. One of my girls is considerably shyer than the other, but Kaelin made consistent and ultimately successful efforts to engage each cat in a manner comfortable for them. Her patience calmed my shyer cat and her energy and thoughtfulness invigorated my more excitable/curious cat - she picked up on beneficial ways to interact with each of them that could not have been covered alone by what I shared with her pre-stay. Kaelin is clearly someone who has a profound understanding of and deep appreciation for animals, and she takes seriously how much they mean to us, her customers. Kaelin paid incredible attention to detail, was able to tailor every aspect of their stay in ways beyond what I requested, and she provided consistent updates with photos and videos of the two, often focusing on activities she intuited that I would be wondering about (How is shy Summer utilizing the space and responding to interaction? How is playful Autumn being allowed to explore and see outside? etc.). Through the way she was engaging with my girls and seeing how they, in turn, responded to her, it is so clear that Kaelin approaches her work with immense passion and care. It put me at ease throughout my entire trip, and it was clearly an excellent experience for my girls as well. Cannot recommend highly enough, will absolutely be a return customer.”

“Kristina was wonderful! She kept us apprised of how everyone was doing daily which was great. But most importantly, the cats were happy with her. She was able to medicate those on meds the first day - which for a bunch of indoor/outdoor cats and someone they don’t really know is amazing. We also had to make some last minute changes in our plans (because ice) and she was completely fine with that. We also loved that she had experience with chickens and exotic birds as we may be adding those to our family. We very much hope to work with her again.”

About: Cats are my FAVORITE animal! (most recent cat in photo) I was allowed by my family to rescue and adopt a cat when I was 5. She was a longhaired cat. She was shy, nervous but so sweet and taught me how patience is important to get cats to trust. After that, I rescued another shorthair cat and was gifted a siamese cat for my recent birthday. These cats are my everything and I love and enjoy caring for all cats! I’ve pet sat for cats of all different ages and fur length, even hairless ones! I love learning about cats the more I get to meet new ones!

“Amy was awesome for a short notice drop in. She sent me pictures and included my dog in her regular routine (my dog sat next to her as she cooked her dinner). A long walk was the special treat for my lab. We were from out of town, so she watched our dog the next day as well and even dropped our dog off at the hotel!!! My dog was so happy to go back a second day.”

“Olive had a fantastic time with Dorothea! Dorothea provided a safe environment, gave Olive a wonderful walk, and kept me updated (with numerous photos and videos) throughout Olive’s stay. Highly recommend!”

“What a wonderful experience! Ruth really goes above and beyond. I couldn't be more pleased. She made sure to ask many questions and wanted to reinforce my pups training as a service dog by using the same words and hands signals I do at home. She kept me updated and sent pictures of him running with her sweet girl doggos and sitting happily at her feet. He was clearly happy and comfortable at her home. He was also asleep before we got home! My heart is so happy to have found this gem. I'm so impressed with Ruth's care that I'm going to book regular daycare visits for my guy to go there and have fun with his new friends even if I don't have any appointments! I honestly can't say enough about her. Totally blessed.”

About: I adopted my dog from a rescue 13 years ago and have fostered (in my home) over 50 dogs since then. My dogs( I have two medium sized dogs) (and any fosters or fur friends we have over) enjoy frequent walks, hikes, and dog park trips. My pups (and the pups that were allowed to), sleep in the bed with me and get maximum cuddle and play time! I myself stay pretty active so enjoy the walk time. I’m available early mornings, nights and weekends. My dogs are not kenneled. I have always grown up with a family dog and love having them around. I have had up to four dogs in my home at one time and 2 of those were Mastiffs!!! I started walking pups on another app and gained a few regular clients of my own! I’m back to working a full time job during the day (8-5 type). I prioritize being home as much as I can when I have fur baby guests. I come home during my lunch breaks to let the dogs out. I live in an apartment but we have frequent walks. I have my two pups to keep yours company. My dogs are not crated but it’s okay if yours are. I allow any and all fur babies to sleep in my room and on the bed if they want.
About: I’ve had cats and dogs for the past 30 plus years. I’ve walked them, bathed them, made their food, cared for them when sick and loved them. I have a lovely, safe walking neighborhood for dogs, a fenced yard, and everything I would need for a dog to have a cozy stay with me. I currently work 100% remote and have time during the day for walks and playtime. I have dog beds for nap time and toys for them to play with. I also own several leashes. I have a fenced yard that’s very safe. I don’t plan on watching more than one dog at a time. That way I can devote all my time to the one who’s staying with me.
About: I have have multiple years of caring for people's pets. I was a professional housekeeper with my own business for over 20 years and also cared for their animals when they were away. I have been a long time pet owner myself and recently my fur babies passed away. I am looking to earn a little extra income as a senior while enjoying the company of animals. I am a senior and I am retired. Recently my fur babies passed away and I am looking to supplement my income while caring for people's pets. I really miss having animals in my home. I live in a senior mobile home park and I have a fenced in yard. I make sure that animals are safe, fed watered, walked and get plenty of potty breaks. They will get lots of love. I keep the yard clear of poop so that their environment is healthy for them.
“Kahlúa was so spoiled here. Aimee and Andrew welcomed her into the family! Thank you so so much! We are so grateful to find incredible care last minute, they went the extra mile. We look forward to having this sweet family care for our fur baby in the future. 💛”

About: I grew up around all kinds of animals and even had up to 7 dogs at one point in my childhood home! I’ve always loved having pets and I even used to pet sit for neighbors frequently. I’m currently not working so I’m able to pet sit Monday-Sunday! I’m open to following specific routines that you have for your pet. I’m also available to do overnights if needed :) I do have a fenced in yard where I can supervise your pet. I currently have no personal pets of my own. I love to maintain their schedule as I know it could be hard for your pet to be in a new environment.
About: We had a family dog from the time I was a toddler. The first dog was a Doberman, then the next family dog was a Springer Spaniel. My family also volunteered as puppy raisers with Guide Dogs for the Blind and we raised 5 guide dog puppies. One flunked out of guide dog school and came back to live with us until she was 13. Later, I volunteered with Guiding Eyes for the Blind and helped puppy raisers with their new puppies, and weekly helped teach the classes from 12 weeks when the puppies first arrive to their puppy raiser homes, up to 18 months when they leave their puppy raisers the puppies get trained before they go back in for their formal under harness training for their blind person. All 9 years of work there we used positive reinforcement with the dogs and helped the puppy raisers. I also attended some classes with Guiding Eyes on dog body language. I also have my own rescue dog who I adopted during that time and he has had positive reinforcement training since I adopted him. I now assist owners with training or behavioral needs they may have for their dogs to make the owners and the dogs happier and more peaceful living. I also have added a list of other services, from boarding in my home, to house sitting in yours, dog walking, drop in visits, or daycare in my house. I am working from home and available basically all the time, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and over weekends as well. Days: M, T, W, T, F, S, S I don’t have kids or cats. Just me and my one 10 year old personal dog are in the house. I live in a condo and don’t have a backyard, but I have always walked my dog in the neighborhood and gone to hike at Lake Chabot which is only a 12 minute drive or at Oakland hills parks.
“Kaelin was amazing with our 10 week puppy Midnight!! Midnight is shy around new people but warmed up to Kaelin quickly and had the best time playing and hanging out with her all day, I know that we’ll be booking her again as soon as we can especially since she sent pictures and updates to us that really helped our anxiety with leaving her for the first time!!”

So thankful - will definitely be booking again.”

About: I have always loved animals. Had dogs and cats growing up. Would always want to take the stray home or help the wounded ones. Over the years my family and I have had numerous dogs, rats, hamsters, cats fish goats and chickens I work full time but have time before and after work to feed, walk, play or just sit and hang out with your animals. I can also come and visit during my lunch breaks. I'm happy to stay overnight in your home or have your fur baby stay with me!
