“Lajetta was so great. She is responsive, organized and really loves dogs. She took such good care of Yuzu and was very accommodating and patient with me when I had flight delays. I would happily leave Yuzu with her and her granddaughter anytime!”
“Heath and Amy were amazing! Super flexible with all drop off and pickup needs, they have a lovely family that clearly love animals. Our dog was super happy to spend over a week with them which isn't super common as she is typically a bit nervous about new home environments. Not in this case, she made herself right at home thanks to their welcoming presence and their own pup was the perfect playmate. We will definitely be reaching out to them for future dogsitting needs.”
“Juan took great care of our dog and kittens. He sent pictures and updates while we were out of town. He responded quickly and was very friendly. For our next trip we will definitely use his services again.”
“Barry and his pup are fantastic hosts! I received many updates and photos which I really appreciate, and my dog was happy and healthy. Will definitely book with Barry again!”
“Chava was fantastic. We were nervous about leaving our dog for several days. He came back happy and contented. Chava sent us updates that gave us peace of mind. So professional and clearly loves dogs and has lots of experience!”
“We had a great experience with Debbie for an extended weekend stay! This was our first time leaving Egg with someone we didn’t know, but we immediately felt at ease. Debbie is clearly a dog lover and was so understanding of Egg’s quirks . She was incredibly flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, which we really appreciated. Throughout the stay, she was communicative and sent frequent updates, pictures, and videos of Egg. I highly recommend her and would gladly leave her in Debbie's care again!”
“I was initially nervous to leave my little guy for a week while I went on vacation, but Jocelyn completely put me at ease! She was very flexible and communicative throughout the whole stay. Kailo looked like he had the best time with her and her two sweet dogs. I would love to book with her again in the future.”
“Sandy took such great care of our mini schnauzer, Hugo! She made us feel immediately at ease when giving us a tour of her place, which is a perfect set-up for small dogs! Love that she only watches small dogs and that everything is secure (fence with dual gate system and keeping the dogs at home at all times). I so appreciated her updates and photos as well! We will definitely be reaching out to Sandy for all future needs for Hugo!”
“Dawn was great! We did an initial meet and greet to make sure my dog was comfortable in her house and around her dogs. She sent plenty of status of updates and pictures while watching my dog and my little guy was in great shape when I picked him up. Would definitely use again!”
“Annika, John, and Pepper were great! We boarded our dog for the first time with strangers and he was understandably a bit anxious (and so were we). But they were great hosts and very responsive and extremely responsible. Pepper was a gracious host. Felix had a great time overall!”
“Ron is great with Mima! She is a senior and isn't usually very comfortable staying away from me but every time I take her to Ron's house she walks in without looking back! Leaving her with Ron gives me peace and everytime I pick her up she is happy. :) Whenever we need boarding for Mima, Ron is right at the top of our list! Thank you so much, Ron!!”
“Larissa was the perfect person to take care of my dog. She sent me updates and photos throughout the entire time. I felt assured that my dog Mac was in good hands and at no point was worried. I’d happily leave my pup with Larissa again!”
“Our Cavaliers loved staying with Amy. Her home was accommodating, and they seemed very comfortable with the family and her dogs. My dogs immediately made themselves at home and I'm sure would eagerly return!”
“Peter is the BEST!! We've left our little one with him several times and she comes back happy and tired. Since he only takes one dog at a time we don't have to worry about her being overwhelmed. She gets lots of love and is spoiled by how many walks she gets. Thank you Uncle Peter!”
“Ching yin, was an awesome host for Addie! It was a short notice booking but she and her husband were very flexible. Very responsive and frequent updates were great and appreciated. Would book again!”
“Christopher was wonderful! My dog came back to me happy and tired! It was obvious that my 2 year old corgi had been very well taken care of. He sent daily pictures and videos, and promptly responded to me during my time away. I highly recommend!!!”

“Mary is a great cat sitter! She offered to come do a meet and greet right away, and I could tell she was experienced with caring for cats. She made sure my girls were well cared for while I was away. She was communicative and easy to coordinate with. I will book with her again for sure!”
“Rebecca is a true cat lover, and was spot on with anticipating all of Charles’s needs! He enjoyed her company and I appreciated her prompt communication and great documentation throughout my time away. Thank you so much for all the care and the peace of mind, Rebecca!”
About: Cats used to never be on my radar, but over the past 3 years, they've been a staple in my life. I've loved and cared for 2 at one point, (Princess Diana and Princess Caroline) who, as all cat owners know, have a multitude of silly nicknames and aliases. They are now with my sister across the country; I would love to hang out and reminisce on my time with them as I snuggle yours:)
“Cypress was great with our cat! She checked on everything during the visit and sent us photos and updates which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our cat seemed comfortable with her and we really appreciated how reliable she was. We would definitely book with Cypress again!”
“I wasn’t sure how this would work out but Byron kept me updated the whole time I was away and gave me the peace of mind so I could enjoy my trip, knowing my cat was being taken good care of. Thank you Byron!”
About: I have had pets for my entire life including my sweet Lola. Feel free to ask for pictures! I have been the pet sitter for friends and family for a couple years, and I have had experience with both cats and dogs. I would be very excited to take care of your loved ones! I am a college student on summer break, so my schedule is super flexible. I am available on weekends and weekdays, so if you need services during the work week I can cover that. I have a fenced-in yard and pet care supplies at home, and am great at learning your home setup and working with pets in their favorite environments!
“Rachel did a great job taking care of our kitty. His visits and medicine were on time and we know Matrix was cared for. We hope to be able to book her again in the future.”
“Alexander was great! He checked on the cats as scheduled and made sure everything was taken care of. It really helped me to feel okay leaving the cats at home while we were out of town.”
“Jess is a hero who helped us out on very short notice to give our cat his medicine while we were out of town. She was thorough and very responsive, and had great communication. Everything went smoothly and she even sent us pics of our kitty which eased our minds and made us smile. Thanks, Jess!”
“Our cats love Carly! They’re super thoughtful and detail-oriented and we know our cats are in great hands with them. We’ll definitely book with them again!”
“He was very communicative and even did extra things that I forgot to ask him to do in the midst of travel prep — e.g., taking out my garbage bins. Highly recommend!”
“Tayla was wonderful when checking in on Goblin! The water was replaced and the litter was cleaned well. She gave us good updates on Goblin, who was being a bit of a scaredy-cat!”
About: I grew up around cats and have experience caring for them both with my own and I worked as a personal assistant and one of my main roles was caring for her cat including grooming, pilling, feeding and loving!
“Marcus has watched my cats many times over the years. His photos and synopses are delightful and he is reliable, consistent, and communicative as well. Most importantly he clearly loves animals and has a knack for winning over the most skittish and confrontational. I was surprised to see the first day photos with our very shy cat…he was rubbing his head on him and rolling around. That is pretty much unheard of! Highly highly recommend!!!!”

“Lajetta was a great dog sitter for our doodles! She kept us updated throughout the day with pictures & we could tell the doodles were being loved, cared for & comfortable.”
“Another wonderful visit at Dawn's house. She has so much fun with Dawn's daughter and their two dogs. It's a mini vacation for Maggie when she is with them. Couldn't find a better place for her when we are away.”
“I took my dog to Kate for daycare one day while we were visiting Portland. Kate has a wonderful outdoor and indoor space for doggy daycare. She sent many photos and updates. It looked like my dog had so much fun. I highly recommend.”
“Emily was amazing with my rambunctious 4 mo old puppy. She was so flexible when I had something come up and I had to pick him up late. She's even showed me some basic grooming tips! Do not sleep on her! We will definitely be booking again.”
“Tyson had the best day! Heath is kind, friendly and natural with dogs. They were very easy to schedule with and great communication. Tyson can’t wait to come back.”
“Greg is a lifesaver! Super responsive and easy to coordinate with, I had a pretty last minute need for off-site dog sitting and Greg thankfully was available and flexible. I'm so glad he has Hilo too, someone to play with definitely helps my big baby not be glum about being away from home.”
“Larissa was an absolute lifesaver when I needed last-minute doggy daycare for Dryden for a couple of days. She was extremely accommodating on short notice and made the entire process completely stress-free. She kept me updated throughout the day with lots of photos, which gave me total peace of mind. Dryden became fast friends with her dog, Appa, right away. I think having Appa around really helped calm him down and made it super easy for him to get acclimated and feel right at home. He came back happy and well-cared-for, and I’ll definitely be reaching out to Larissa again in the future!”
“Shadie is just wonderful! She agreed to watch my dog for a day while we went out of town. My pup had such a blast. She played all day long with another dog Shadie was sitting. Of course I am thrilled about that and we will have to coordinate a playdate next time!”
“Peter took my puppy on more walks than he gets at home! He came home tired, which is hard to do with this fella. I appreciated the generous care he offered my puppy.”
“Ching yin was great with our pup! This was the first time Birdie has stayed with anyone outside of our house, and Ching yin was very patient and accommodating with her.”
“Debbie has watched Milo many times for me and I feel comfortable and confident every time I drop him off. She takes great care of him and every photo I get it looks like Milo is having a great time! Any and every time I'm in the Vancouver area I send Milo to her ❤️❤️”
“Poppy received excellent care! She got plenty of attention and exercise and came home thoroughly relaxed and tired. A huge difference from other daycare experiences we’ve had where she comes home anxious and stressed.”
About: Hi! I’m Danielle and I work from home as a digital marketing professional. My profession offers me a lot of flexibility in my schedule so I’m often available for pet care, which I absolutely love! My professional pet care experience includes over 10 years of pet sitting, working at a humane society and volunteering with shelters and rescues. I have experience with many types of pets, temperaments, and special needs. Puppies? Seniors? Reactive? No worries! I’ll provide attentive, loving, gentle care. Since I was a small child, I’ve been happiest when spending time with and caring for animals. When not showering other pets with attention and love, I can be found with my sweet dog, Jack. He’s a 12 yr old black lab mix that I rescued off the street when he was just 7 months old. I look forward to meeting you and your pet friends! ☺️ My days are fairly flexible so I have availability most days for pet check-ins, sitting and walks. I’m happy to discuss specific availability upon request. I live in an upstairs apartment. Pets staying with get regular on-leash potty breaks outside (we generally take a short walk since there is no yard), are allowed on the furniture and are showered with adoration (unless they’re not into that). Whether in my home or yours, I always follow instructions given and prioritize your pets’ wellbeing, safety and comfort.
“Storm takes a bit of time to get comfortable in new environments with new people, but she seemed to settle in easily with Gil and Peaches! We are so thankful they are patient with her separation anxiety and welcome her on daycare days!”
“My dog is enjoying her doggy-interactions so much. New puppies have sparked an excitement in her that I had not seen. Shell says she's playing more outside with the other dogs and she seems to recognize names of her Doggy-friends now that she has been attending 'doggy day care' weekly for two months. Thanks so much for your care, Shell”
“Annika and John were great with our pup. Their sweet dog Pepper was the perfect playmate too. No issues and quick responses. We’d definitely book with them again!”
“Bangyun was amazing with my pup. Bella her dog is very friendly and had lots of play time and walk together during the stay. You know your baby has been having fun when they can’t wait to go into her house in the morning, jumping out of the car and rushing into the front door! Will re book when needed again definitely! Thank you so much !!! :)”
“Anupama took such great care of our dog Mimi! She sent photo updates, communicated well throughout the whole stay, and asked us thoughtful questions about Mimi to help provide the best care for her. Thank you Anu!”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my entire life. Throughout my life I have also volunteered with several different animal non profits. I can't imagine my life without the companionship of my dogs and I would love to share that love helping you out with yours. I work full-time, but have a super flexible schedule. I have plenty of time in my day-to-day to help you out with your cat or dog. I have a fenced yard and two dogs of my own but because of their high maintenance personalities I think my services are best focused caring for your pets in your environment or on walks.
“Byron has started taking my pointer on weekly walks and is the best! He’s prompt, easy to communicate with, and clearly loves being around dogs. Plus, my pup always comes back happy AND tired. Thank you!!”
“Stella and I feel so fortunate that we have Jung as her dog walker! Finding a dog walker you can truly trust is so hard, but Jung made us feel completely at ease from the moment she stepped foot past the gate.Her vast experience and volunteer work with dogs is obvious in the way she handles Stella, paying close attention to every safety detail on their walks. Her communication is also top-notch—I always get wonderful photo updates and detailed summaries right after the walk. We couldn't ask for a more reliable, professional, and caring walker. Highly recommend Jung to any pet parent!”
About: I am a vet tech who has over 10 years of experience working with dogs, cats, and exotic pets. I have extensive experience as a veterinary technician in both general practice as well as emergency medicine. I am comfortable with all pets of any age including pets with special needs. I am able to administer oral meds, injections, fluids, and much more. I have worked with animals professionally for all of my working career starting with basic pet sitting/dog walking. After this point I was a groomer for sometime and then made my way up to working at the San Diego zoo as one of the animal ambassador care takers and conservation/wildlife educators where I led tours teach the public about conservation, ecology, and animal welfare welfare. I then moved on to a non profit shelter for a few years as an animal care taker, caring for and providing enrichment to the rescued dogs and cats we took in from across the country. All of this eventually led me to working in the veterinary field as veterinary technician. Animals have always been my passion in life and I couldn’t imagine doing anything else with career. Working with pets no matter how big or small, young or old is the most profoundly fulfilling part of my life and I would love to be able to care for your pets too! You will never have to worry about the safety or happiness of your beloved pets when they are in my care 💕 I have a very flexible schedule and am available for all of your pet care needs throughout the week! Whatever your scheduling needs look like, I can most certainly make it happen! As a vet tech and a seasoned veteran in all things pet care, I am very adept and hypervigilant of the safety of pets entrusted in my care. This means that I am able to assess medical emergencies very quickly, am able to provide first aid, and am able to analyze the body language of your pet. Outside as well as in your home, your pet's safety is my number one priority. Your pet will be well taken care of and loved in my care!
About: I've been around dogs my entire life. Growing up, I had three Black Labs over the years, and today I help care for our German Shepherd, Geo, who gets multiple walks every day and plenty of exercise. I also regularly care for my parents' dog while they're out of town, including feeding, walking, playtime, and administering medications when needed. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or just relaxing with company, I'll provide dependable, attentive care as if they were my own. With my evening work schedule and my girlfriend's daytime schedule, someone is almost always home to provide care and attention. This allows us to maintain a consistent routine for feeding, potty breaks, walks, and playtime throughout the day. Our family loves dogs, and the kids are always happy to offer gentle head scratches, belly rubs, and plenty of affection to dogs that enjoy the extra attention. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. We have a securely fenced yard with a doggie door, giving dogs safe access to the outdoors while still being supervised. Our German Shepherd, Geo, is a friendly, well-socialized dog who enjoys meeting new canine friends and already goes on three walks a day, so guest dogs will have plenty of opportunities for exercise. Every dog has different needs, and I'm happy to adapt my care accordingly. Whether your dog is a high-energy breed that loves long walks and active play, or a senior companion who prefers shorter strolls, a quiet environment, and extra TLC, I'll make sure they receive the care, attention, and routine that's right for them.
About: I grew up having and taking care of cats but also love dogs! I am very reliable and attentive. Happy to just drop in for walks or take care of animals for a more extended time. I currently work full time, but I always make time for what is important. Some days I work from home so my schedule is much more flexible and I can do more frequent drop-ins or overnight house/pet sitting. I am very good at following directions, so any instructions you leave for walks/feeding will be followed to a T. I don't board at my own house, but your house and pets will be treated with utmost respect while your pets are in my care.
“Shannon is very communicative and took the time to do a meet and greet. She also was mindful of the heat and even went out of her way to bring a package in for me. Thanks Shannon!”
About: I have grown up with pets all my life they are a part of what makes me me. I have grown up with pets and now that I’m in school I miss taking care of them. I will take care of your furry friend with as much love as I take care of mine! I am available all evenings but Mondays and weekends are super flexible! I would love to provide more details with owners when planning! Thank you I will play close attention to the instructions and respect the rules provided. I will make sure to ask clarification when needed and provide updates!
About: Hi, I'm Allison. I live with two kitties of my own, Spencer and Ashy. I would love to have your dog for company on my walks because my cats aren’t very adventurous!! I am close to Cathedral, Forest and Pier Parks. I am open to boarding smaller dogs too. i am in grad school so I spend a lot of time at home online and studying. I work a few blocks away a few days a week as a massage therapist and am only gone about 4 hours at a time max. i have a fenced yard, love to go for walks. I am near lots of parks. I can crate dog if that is your protocol or they can hang out free range style :)
About: I’m a lifelong pet parent who has never lived without a furry companion by my side. My hands-on experience includes raising puppies, establishing reliable house routines, and navigating specific training and behavioral needs with my own dogs. I continuously invest time in reading training literature and attending webinars to ensure I use patient, positive-reinforcement techniques. You can count on me to respect your existing training cues, keep your pup physically and mentally engaged, and deliver detailed daily check-ins for complete peace of mind. I work from home with full control over my work calendar, allowing me to provide frequent potty breaks, active walks, and dedicated companionship all day. I mirror your pet's familiar routines in your home, providing structured leashed walks, timely feeding, clean spaces, and loving companionship while keeping your home secure.
About: Not only have I owned and cared for animals since I was a child, I also worked professionally as a pet sitter for over a year while in college. I love all animals and have experience working with dogs, cats, and fish. I work part time at the mall but when I am home I try to spend as much time caring for my animals as possible, even if that just means hanging out with them. I currently live with my roommate, his cat, and soon, my own dog. I will make sure the pets are fed, have water, go potty, and take any necessary medication. I also give them lots of cuddles.
About: I've had dogs and loved animals my whole life, from small dogs to big active mutts. My current dog is a Lab/Border Collie who required ample training and needs lots of action to stay happy. I'm a freelance artist so my schedule is flexible, and i'd go for long walks everyday even if I didn't have my active dog. I've always enjoyed spending time with animals even if it's just sitting in the same room or active play. If your pup needs to be worn out, im happy to do it. If they just need someone to be near, I'm happy to do it. I am a freelance artist so I make my own schedule and I'm pretty flexible. I always have time for a midday session when most people are at work I have a fully fenced yard and lots of room to sniff and play ball, but I tend to go for long walks and to the park to play.

Elaine and her family were welcoming to my pup and I would recommend her as a sitter or boarding option for sure.”

About: I’m a dog owner and lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds and temperaments. I have a 7-year-old Shiba Inu of my own, so I understand the quirks of independent, strong-willed breeds. I work from home which means your dog gets consistent attention throughout the day rather than sitting alone for hours. I’m calm, reliable, and treat every dog like family. Your pup will be well exercised, well loved, and well cared for. I work fully remote from home, meaning your dog gets consistent company and attention throughout the entire day. No long hours alone. I’m available for boarding any day of the week and can accommodate last minute requests. Walks happen morning and evening, and as needed with plenty of downtime in between. Your dog will be staying in my clean, comfortable apartment where they’ll be treated like family. I’m an experienced dog owner with a Shiba Inu of my own, so I understand dog behavior and body language well. I keep a calm, structured environment and will always communicate with you about how your pup is doing. Your dog’s safety and comfort is my priority.
“Brittany and Blase are both completely fantastic! They are very knowledgeable and friendly and did an excellent job with my dog Taylor. It was my first time using Rover and Taylor’s first time staying with new people and everything was fantastic! They communicated frequently and I could see in all of the photos and videos they sent how happy and comfortable Taylor was. They took great care of her and she got all of the play time, attention, and snuggles she could ever want. I highly recommend them and will absolutely be rebooking in the future!”
“Kelsey & Sara were excellent! They provided the most loving thoughtful care for my pup & did a great job with walks, play and making sure she was comfortable the entire time. I felt 100% secure knowing my girl was safe & happy with them!”

“Jared took wonderful care of our 12-year-old dog, Ace, during a four-night stay. From the beginning, he was friendly, communicative, and made us feel completely at ease leaving our senior pup in his care. Ace came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It was obvious that Jared genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs. We really appreciated the peace of mind knowing Ace was in such good hands. We will definitely book with Jared again and we highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter.”
