“Karina was very nice and communicative….. she took really good care of my Oreo, he came home very happy. I Would highly recommend her to care for your dog.”
“This is our pup’s first stay with Rover, and we had concerns about potential separation anxiety because he is very attached to us. However Masumi was very patient and experienced. She took great care of our pup, and her detailed updates certainly soothed our concerns. We are so glad that we had our pup stay with her.”

About: As a pet owner I know the pain of trying to find someone who will care for your beloved pet the way you would while away. I know how hard it can be to find care for pets with regular exercise needs. I am not a professional kennel or dog training. I am a dog mom who will love your pets like they are my own and ensure they have all their needs taken care of while they are in my home. I’ve been around pets for most of my life. My family had pets growing up, and as an adult I’ve pet sit for family and friends for over 20 years. I finally became a pet parent myself in 2022 to a mixed breed cattle dog named Teddy Bear. It was love at first sight, despite our rough start due to issues from him being labeled as a lab mix. I’ve learned from experience that breed matters when it comes to ensuring your dog’s physical as well as emotional needs are properly met. We delt with behavior issues, as well as anxiety, and food issues as Teddy moved through his “teens”. I hired a private trainer only weeks after adopting Teddy, and to this day we still participate in a variety of group training classes through most of the year. Teddy is excellent at Nose work/Scent work and loves the mental stimulation. These training lessons have taught me a lot about patience when working with dogs as well as how to work with dogs on their own level and through their style of communication. Teddy passed the Canine Good Citizen Test at only 9 months old! My motto is you are always training. I use the skills learned in the years of lessons whenever I am around dogs and it’s made me quite popular at the dog parks. My dog goes to hunt bunnies, and I go to pet all the dogs that seem naturally to be drawn to me. I only accept the dogs from 1 home at a time. Your pets will be a part of my family as long as they are under my roof. My life revolves around my dog. Teddy is a fairly high energy dog and this means lots of physical and mental stimulation is required. So we walk everyday rain, shine, or even snow! Unless the weather isn’t safe to be outside, we walk. If your dog isn’t as high energy, that is ok. We typically go places your dog can rest and enjoy the smells while Teddy gets his energy out. I have a hybrid work schedule and generally am in the office Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays from 12-5pm. My schedule is flexible though so if I know I have to be gone in the evening, I change up my days in the office so I can be home with my dog during the day. I feed the dogs 2x per day. Once in the morning and once in the evening. I have a large fully fenced backyard, and a dog door so the pups can freely roam between inside and out. It’s a bit of a dogs paradise with lots of birds and squirrels roaming about for them to keep tabs on. I do have a medium-large sized crate for dogs that need to be crated. And feed everyone in separate spaces. The couch under my living room window is now permanently the “dogs couch”. Teddy is very good at sharing his toys and beds. There is an overabundance of dog beds throughout my house. My house used to be clean, but then I got a dog. The house now belongs to Teddy and I just live here among his beds and toys. Teddy is great with dogs of all sizes and most temperaments. I describe him as aloof but friendly. He can be playful in spirts if other dogs initiate, and while he loves being around other dogs, is very independent. The only exceptions to his easy-going persona are aggressive dogs, or dogs that have a higher than usual tendency to resource guard. For this reason I cannot except non neutered males as pretty much every instance of aggression we have come across was with a non neutered male. Regardless of size. My neighbors on 2 sides do have dogs as well. So your dogs would meet them through the fence. We have 4 legged friends over on a regular basis, and the neighbor dogs generally love greeting the new friends so long as they are not aggressive. I do allow dogs on my bed as long as I'm not sleeping. My experience has been dogs tend to lay exactly where my legs need to be. So, I usually kick them off just before turning off the lights to allow myself use of my own bed. But if your dog is happy to stay on the other side of the bed without trying to take over my side, they can stay.
“Royce had his first stay with Qiaohui and her husband, and start to finish, it was an outstanding experience. We appreciated their communication, pictures and videos during his stay. He was relaxed, had fun with his new buddies and was clearly treated like part of their family. 5 ⭐️”
“Fiona is an AMAZING sitter! Our dog Leia loved her and was so excited to board with her, which never usually happens. Leia is normally a cautious, reserved dog who is hard to excite, but the day of her stay, she ran into . She sent tons of photos and kept us up to date the whole stay.”
“Tuffy had such a great time Sunmee, Patrick and Conan. Tuffy had a bike versus 4 lb dog accident the day before he drop off date and he was sore and bruised. They took great care of him and he healed up in a couple of days. Their backyard was perfect for Tuffy and he didn’t want to come in. Tuffy would read with Conan at night and tuffy loves playing with Conan. They made Tuffy a part of their family and he was well taken care of. Thank you so much for your compassionate care of Tuffy!”
“Finding sitters who truly care about your dog is tough, but Kelly and Karen exceeded all expectations. Tony is usually a bit anxious, but Kelly makes him feel better. Their communication was excellent, and gave me update(pic/vidoes)about Tony during i was on my vacation. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of my boy…”
“Our 12 year old dog Gwennie enjoyed her one day boarding trial at Jiyeon's place. Jiyeon and her husband took very good care of her. Gwen will come back for a long stay next month.”
“Mary is wonderful. Look no further if you are looking for a sitter. Mary helped take care of our 18-week puppy when we traveled. She invited us to her place for a meet-and-greet. We knew immediately that our pup will have a good time with her. She is very knowledgeable and experienced about dogs and shared quite a lot of tips for us as first-time owners. She is so patient and calm and that really helps with a growing puppy. Her pup Tribbe is a good company to have for a young pup like ours. When we were traveling, Mary sent us daily update, which is really nice. When we picked up our puppy, he was very happy and clearly had a bond with Mary. She also helped us work on puppy training such as no jumping and helped us discover how our pup loves to chew on big bones: ) We would definitely have our pup stay with Mary again in the future and highly recommend her for everyone.”
“Seriously best rover sitter our dogs have stayed with. so flexible and understanding of the needs I comminicated and respectful whilst also being communicative of what she required in a respectful way, which is exactly what I need in order to plan around. I would highly recommend her as a sitter or anyone and would love for Sascha and Oscar to stay with her.”
“I am thankful I found Romy through Rover- leaving your baby with someone is never easy.Romy was super communicative and we established trust instantly. Max enjoyed his stay there and this mommy got multiple updates and pictures to put my anxiety at rest-thank you Romy.”
“We have an absolutely great experience every time we leave our pup with Amy & Shelby! She always looks happy both when we drop her off and when we pick her up after the stay. Before we found Amy & Shelby we tried many different places and sitters and had some really bad experiences... I'm so glad we now have people we trust and I would recommend them to anyone!”
“Max loved his stay with Lorena! He was actually bummed to come home. He got taken for lots of walks and we got daily pics of all the fun he was having. Will definitely book again soon.”
“Jenny was wonderful as always. I requested for Jenny's help so I could take my son out of town for his birthday. I have asked Jenny for help multiple times now with my dog and she always provides 6 out of 5 star service (that is not a typo). Muchas gracias Jenny :)”
“Shauna and Tim just watched our fur baby, Kal, and they were absolutely amazing! After having a bad boarding experience with another sitter we were a bit anxious about leaving Kal with anyone, but Shauna and Tim totally eased our worries! We did a meet and greet before booking boarding and it was so clear that they are great with dogs and made Kal feel comfortable right away. When we came back to drop Kal off for boarding he ran up to their house with his tail wagging a million miles a minute and immediately melted into Shauna’s arms. Throughout the whole process they were super communicative and they sent tons of photos and updates during Kal’s stay. Thank you both so much!”

“Caroline exceeded my expectations as a pet sitter. She maintained excellent communication, was reliably on time, and followed all care instructions with attention to detail. Most importantly, she showed genuine care for our kitty, providing thoughtful updates and ensuring our kitty was happy and well looked after. I would definitely work with her again.”
“We’ve used Natalia a few times in the past and have always been impressed, but this most recent booking she truly went above and beyond. Our cat had a medical emergency while we were gone and she went out of her way to do extra checks on him and eventually took him to the emergency vet. Her communication and extra care in our time of need was truly a blessing. We would highly recommend using her!”
“Rebekah stepped in and saved the day when another sitter bailed on us as we were boarding a 6-hour flight and leaving for 10 days. She and her partner took great care of our cat Brooklyn, including giving her ear drops in the morning and evening. She was active in her communication with us and left our house in great condition. Thank you again, Rebekah!!”
“Cory continues to take careful and loving care of my puppy Scout, who can be a handful. I come home to a happy and tired puppy in the evenings. Cory does a great job of letting him run and burn off energy!!”
“I’ve booked with Dahra multiple times to check on my two cats. She’s always great and they both always look happy and healthy when I get home! It’s so nice for them to have a familiar face checking in while I’m gone! 🐱🐱💕”
“Sai did an amazing job taking care of my cat (aka my son)! She made sure to play with him and handled his neediness/feeding habits so well. She sent me plenty of pictures and videos each day that showed me she was really taking her time with him and playing with/caring for him. She was so communicative and helpful plus went above with making sure he had what he needs. 10/10 I would highly recommend her.”
About: I did not grow up with any household pets (other than fish) but have many friends with animals, for which I have cared for on occasion.

It would be my pleasure to care for your furry friend(s) and provide the activity/love/attention they need! I am a recent college-graduate and am currently in the middle of jobs, so I have an abundance of free time to handle pet care! As of now, I am not able to care for pets in my own home, although I will meticulously follow any guidelines and instructions to keep your pets safe and happy when I care for them at your home!

“Billie did a fantastic job hanging out with our 15 week old puppy! She made sure she was fed and watered, got a walk in, some play time, and a lot of belly rubs! She sent great photos, which we always enjoy. We will certainly be asking Billie to drop in on our pup again.”

“Honestly, i can not say enough about how great Mike has been with our cat and the amazing service he has provided both times he watched him for us. We had an issue the morning after we left for our trip out of state where a neighbor broke into our apartment and Mike went out of his way to retrieve Zeus and get him home safely, truly did not have to do anything extra but he did and it meant the absolute world to us. Mike is a great guy, caring and goes above and beyond for his care of others pets. Thankful for Mike!”
“Ying took care of our 7 cats for three days. Our cats have varying dietary and medicinal needs. But Ying managed them all very well. All our cats loved her, even the shy ones. We had great peace of mind on her vacation, thanks to Ying sharing daily updates with pictures which showed even our very anxious cat playing with her. I definitely recommend Ying.”
“I had a last minute need for a pet sitter for my two cats, Jordie and Jilly. My mother had a medical emergency so I turned to Rover.com and found Brittany. She was available last minute and was great about making time to meet quickly. She did a wonderful job making sure the cats were okay and making sure that she saw both of them and gave them plenty of pets. I was very happy with her service and will use her again in the future.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Kingsgate
“Tunyi responded quickly to a last minute doggy daycare request and was very communicative of how my dog was doing throughout his stay. I'm definitely booking with Tunyi again in the future!”
“Amy and her family took great care of my 9 months old Hugo. Hugo came back happily tired from playing all day. It must have been a great experience for Hugo to spend a day with a family with dog friends to play with. It was our first time having Hugo stay with Amy & Shelby home and I felt very safe and comfortable. I would be a repeat client for sure! Thank you very much!”
“It was such a pleasure to leave Bunny with Karina. Bunny loves outdoors and she made sure he had a lot of outdoor/walk time. She was flexible about my drop off time of 6/6:30am- that was specially helpful on a work day.”
“I can’t recommend Rachel enough. Our baby was so well cared for. She gave us updates and sent so many adorable photos. Next time we need a sitter we are 100% going with Rachel and Bruce!”

“Yen and Terry are super friendly and welcoming. I needed their doggy care service on short notice and they were able to accommodate Angel! They kept me up to date throughout her stay.”
About: I’ve raised my own Golden Retriever since he was 8 weeks old, so I have real daily experience caring for a dog through every stage of growth and routine. Through caring for him, I’ve become very familiar with feeding schedules, walks, exercise, playtime, grooming, and making sure a dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I truly love dogs and understand how important it is to treat them with patience, attention, and affection. I know that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I always try to make them feel as comfortable and cared for as possible. I am home full-time, so I have a very flexible schedule and can provide dogs with plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m able to take them out every 2–4 hours for walks or potty breaks, depending on their usual routine and needs. My neighborhood also has a nearby trail, which is perfect for walks and extra exercise. Since I am home most of the day, I can give dogs a safe, comfortable, and well-supervised environment. I am also available on weekends and holidays, which makes it easier to accommodate different schedules and last-minute care needs. I offer a clean, calm, and pet-friendly home where dogs can feel safe and comfortable. My home is non-smoking, located in a quiet neighborhood, and everyone in my household is very friendly and welcoming to dogs. We do not currently have any other pets, which can be a great fit for dogs who do best in a peaceful environment. We also have a yard for outdoor time, and I always prioritize supervision, safety, and each dog’s comfort. My goal is to make every dog feel cared for, relaxed, and at home.

About: I’ve been a proud pet parent to my golden retriever for the past 9 years, and she’s been part of my family since she was a tiny puppy. From potty training to fun agility exercises, I have been through it all — and I absolutely love helping dogs learn, grow, and thrive. Pet care is part of my everyday life! I take my own dog for walks every day — it’s my favorite time to get outside, stretch, and enjoy some fresh air together. I also regularly help take care of my friends’ dogs when they’re traveling or busy, so caring for animals has naturally become a regular part of my weekly routine. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or simply keeping a pet company, spending time with animals is something I truly enjoy and make time for every day. At my home, pets have plenty of space to feel comfortable and safe. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can play, stretch, and enjoy some outdoor time. Inside, there’s plenty of room for them to relax — and if a dog prefers or needs a crate, I can easily accommodate that too.
About: 🐶About Me & My Experience with Dogs Hi! I have over 16 years of experience caring for dogs, specializing in small and medium pups only, so your dog will always be in a calm, safe, and stress-free environment. I’ve lived with dogs since I was a child and have always considered them part of my family. I’ve cared for a Poodle, a Chihuahua, and a Jindo-Retriever mix, and I currently have a small Chihuahua who is very precious to me. I moved to the U.S. from Korea with my dog, so I truly understand how important it is to find someone you can fully trust with your pet. 💙 How I Care for Dogs I focus on providing a calm, safe, and comfortable environment for small or medium dogs I treat every dog like family and provide gentle, attentive care—just like caring for a baby. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality, routine, and needs so they can feel relaxed and at home. 🐶 Small or medium dogs only (up to 20 lbs) 🏡 Loving, clean, and cozy home environment 🫶🏻Care tailored to your dog’s routine and needs 📸 Daily photo & video updates for peace of mind 🫐🍎organic blueberries and apples as treats 🐾 Paw pads gently cleaned after every walk My goal is to make sure your dog feels loved, secure, and happy while you’re away. 🩵 Love, Attention & Cleanliness I treat every dog with love and careful attention, while also maintaining a high standard of cleanliness and hygiene. My goal is to create a clean, safe, and comfortable space where dogs feel happy, relaxed, and well cared for. 👟 We don’t wear shoes indoors, so your dog stays in a clean space at all times. 🐾 After walks, I gently wipe your dog’s paws with pet-safe wipes before coming inside. 🧼 Hygiene Care I pay close attention to bowl hygiene and water quality, as bacteria can quickly build up from saliva and food residue. Poor hygiene can lead to digestive issues, skin irritation (especially around the mouth and chin), and reduced water intake. • Food bowls are washed after every meal • Water bowls are cleaned daily before bedtime • Fresh water is provided multiple times throughout the day I believe proper hygiene is essential for a dog’s health, comfort, and overall well-being. 💧 Fresh, filtered water is provided regularly. During colder seasons, I prepare lukewarm water for extra comfort. 🥣 Water and food bowls are cleaned after every meal using baby dish soap, a distilled vinegar, or baking soda. ✨ Floors and surfaces are cleaned regularly, and I use a chemical-free steam cleaner along with carefully selected, low-toxin products like Attitude and Better Life to create a safe and hygienic environment for dogs. I care for every dog with the same level of love, attention, and cleanliness that I give to my own dog.

Since I have my own dog at home, I only accept one booking at a time and care for one small or medium dogs (up to 20lbs) to ensure a calm and safe environment. When I lived in Korea, I cared for family dogs for over the years, so I’m very comfortable and experienced with dog care. Your pup will receive my full attention, a consistent routine, and plenty of love. 📍 My Space I live in a cozy apartment that’s well-suited for small dogs. To help protect their joints and prevent slipping, the living room is covered with baby play mats. There are designated potty areas and a clean artificial turf space behind the building for easy potty breaks. Nearby Woodin Creek Park is just a 5 minute walk away—perfect for daily walks, light runs, and extra playtime.
“Had an amazing experience with Latraviata's pet sitting! My German Shepherd got walks, treats, and loads of love. He came back happy, tired, and clearly well-exercised. Latraviata even sent me adorable video updates that made my day. Super flexible with pick-up times too! If you're looking for top-notch pet care, Latraviata is the way to go. Thanks a million!”
“Qiaohui did an amazing job with Owen. She sent us a ton of pics throughout the day, and it was great to be able to see Owen playing with his pup friends:) Drop off/pick up was very easy, and I am very grateful to have found a safe and fun place for Owen to stay ☺️”

About: Hi, I have owned dogs since I was a toddler, and have dealt with aggressive dogs, disobedient dogs, and females who have labored puppies all through the course of my lifetime. I currently my pup Leila (she's a cute medium size mutt). She is a little over 2 years old. I got her around 6 weeks old, so I am very familiar with puppy behavior. If you feel comfortable, I can take your puppy out to the dog park to play with others. I am very flexible when it comes to special requests (if your pup needs to be crated, potty trained, or teach commands/leash training). It is guaranteed that I will be home the entire time I will be taking care of your pup(s) as I'm very familiar that some pets suffer from anxiety, especially when it comes to a new place. I Leila with me everywhere I can so rest assured, yours will be taken care of like mine is. Leila will be very happy to meet a new friends. Of course, I will provide plenty of treats with a lot of walks in between; I will accommodate to any dietary restrictions. I will happily take hyper dogs and make sure they are worn out by the time you come get them. I am currently not working so I am free to give your puppers love and attention. I love being outdoors and would love tire your pups out. Consistent with walks/outside time. I have a patio as well if dogs want to go outside. Plenty of treats and toys for their enjoyment and a fur baby that would love the company.
“Our puppy Stella had a wonderful day with Conner, Erica and lil Teddy and I especially appreciated the updates and great communication throughout the day. Glad we found an amazing sitter close to our home and will be using them again for sure. Loved that Stella got to go around and walk at different parks too. She had a blast and was pleasantly tired when we got home . Highly recommend Conner and Erica 👍”
“Ming was great with Stitch. He seemed like a very happy boy when I picked him up. She gave me some comfort as I was concerned about the heat wave. He seemed very cool and not like a hot dog. I appreciated the photos and regular updates. I would recommend her services.”

“I could not say enough wonderful things about Maren. From the first meet and greet to her last walk with Kathleen she has gone above and beyond. Wonderful communication, observant of any new concerns with Kathleen’s health, and very careful about her dog reactivity. Thank you so so much Maren. <3”
“Krystal has been taking our dog on walks twice weekly for a few weeks now. She’s always very punctual and communicative. Our dog loves her time with Krystal!”
About: I have always had dogs ever since I was a baby and I love spending time with them and giving them all the love and attention they need! I grew up with a bull mastiff named belle and took care of her even in her older age and I currently have 2 golden retrievers who are around 6 years old but I helped take care of them when they were puppies as well. I feel comfortable helping senior dogs with any medicine, help moving, or anything else they may need and I'm super comfortable and patient with puppies! I also have 2 cats and have also been around cats since I was a baby and love taking care of them as well! I love playing and being around big dogs but small is great too! :) I am currently a high school senior but I do online classes through running start so I am pretty much home all day and I go away for practice later in the day but I honestly have a pretty open and free schedule during the week! Since I have a flexible schedule with school I am able to stay for a while if your animal needs extra attention or company! I feel very comfortable and confident taking care of dogs since I have always been around them growing up. My mom and me also run a rover business boarding dogs at our house for the last few years as well so I have gotten to take care of lots of different kind of dogs! I really love dogs and cats and it would be a really amazing and fun opportunity for me to help take care of your cats and pups! :)
“Cory was engaging and loving with our pup. He was punctual, shared great updates, and had great communication. We’ll be happy to work with him again next time we need help with care.”
About: A lot of my hands-on dog care experience comes from raising my own dog, Kona – a giant breed Akita/Malamute mix. Caring for him daily has taught me a lot about leash handling, structure, enrichment, and understanding different personalities and behaviors, especially with large or anxious dogs. I’m very patient, observant, and focused on helping pets feel safe and comfortable. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize in my everyday life. I’m flexible, dependable, and always make sure each pet gets plenty of attention, care, and consistency during visits or walks. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being will always be my top priority. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level so they can feel as relaxed and stress-free as possible while you’re away.
“Natalia was amazing!! First time using Rover so I was slightly nervous but she has great communication through the app and took my doggo on a long walk. A+++ will definitely book again. Super happy!! :)”
About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life including my own growing up and neighbors, friends and families pets as well! I have taken care of puppies and all sizes of dogs and also love cats and have grown up with a dog & a cat! I am currently home for a short period of time after traveling for a while for a while, so I have a pretty flexible schedule and it’s easy for me to stay overnight, but I do have a weekend job where I’d need to be gone up to 8 hours. I love to play with dogs and enjoy hanging out with them, I can do whatever is needed for extra care and always provide a safe environment for your pet.

I love being outdoors and would love tire your pups out. Consistent with walks/outside time. I have a patio as well if dogs want to go outside. Plenty of treats and toys for their enjoyment and a fur baby that would love the company.
About: I’ve raised my own Golden Retriever since he was 8 weeks old, so I have real daily experience caring for a dog through every stage of growth and routine. Through caring for him, I’ve become very familiar with feeding schedules, walks, exercise, playtime, grooming, and making sure a dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I truly love dogs and understand how important it is to treat them with patience, attention, and affection. I know that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I always try to make them feel as comfortable and cared for as possible. I am home full-time, so I have a very flexible schedule and can provide dogs with plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m able to take them out every 2–4 hours for walks or potty breaks, depending on their usual routine and needs. My neighborhood also has a nearby trail, which is perfect for walks and extra exercise. Since I am home most of the day, I can give dogs a safe, comfortable, and well-supervised environment. I am also available on weekends and holidays, which makes it easier to accommodate different schedules and last-minute care needs. I offer a clean, calm, and pet-friendly home where dogs can feel safe and comfortable. My home is non-smoking, located in a quiet neighborhood, and everyone in my household is very friendly and welcoming to dogs. We do not currently have any other pets, which can be a great fit for dogs who do best in a peaceful environment. We also have a yard for outdoor time, and I always prioritize supervision, safety, and each dog’s comfort. My goal is to make every dog feel cared for, relaxed, and at home.

About: I have had pets my whole life including dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, bunnies and fish! I am very responsible and have lots of experience caring for a wide variety of pets. We have 2 family dogs that I used to walk on a daily basis as well as play with when I’m back at home. I also help out with my sister’s guinea pigs all the time and am very comfortable with small animals. I am currently working remotely and have quite a bit of flexibility. I typically take walks every day, so it’s always nice to have some company! I love to play with animals, especially dogs! I am also a lover of all pet cuddles!! I am always sure to follow instructions and properly care for different animals and make sure they are comfortable, exercised appropriately, and well loved.
“Last week was the first time I used Edie for my new puppy Chester. He is quite the handful and she has done wonders with him. She’s been very flexible and genuinely enjoy to work with. Hopefully Chester will get used to her as I will be using her weekly for his walks.”
“Anqi is amazing and super calm. Teo loves her and Mila my other dog usually doesn't like anyone, but she loves Anqi. Her energy is great, calm and super nice to be around and great with my pets. Anqi makes easy to communicate to, with prompt replies. She walks Teo 5 days per week and I trust my fur babies with her 100%. Totally recommend.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years for family, friends, and clients through personal referrals. My experience includes drop in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and overnight pet sitting in owners’ homes. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from tiny Chihuahuas to giant Great Danes. I currently work early shifts and am typically off by 1:00PM, which gives me plenty of availability for afternoon and evening walks, checkins, and last minute care when you need to stay late at work, grab dinner, or make other plans. At this time, I’m unable to host pets in my home since I rent, but I’m happy to provide care in your home and tailor my services to your pet’s specific needs. I’ve worked with anxious and shy dogs and understand that building trust takes patience. My goal is always to help your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will always communicate with you to ensure your furry family member receives the best care possible. i currently work early shifts which i end up getting off at 1pm. Gives me more than enough time to go walk your pet if you decide to grab last min dinner or hangout later after work ☺️ I am not able to have dogs in my house as im a renter. but i can cater to your fur pet as long as you communicate what they need. ive cared for anxious pets and have been able to patiently earn their trust to make them feel as comfortable as can be.
About: I have been caring for animals my whole life, both personally and professionally, and love getting to hang out with people’s fur babies! One of my own animals has PICA and luxating patella, so I am comfortable managing illnesses, administering medications, and caring for animals with disabilities as well! I strive to do the best by every pet I meet, and love to send pictures of our days together to give peace of mind, I know how nerve wracking it can be to trust someone else with your babies! I currently work part time, so I’m available from 9:30-2:30 on most weekdays for walks and drop in visits! I can also be available on weekends if need be! I have lived in both an apartment with dogs and a home with a yard, so I am comfortable with the various needs that they each require! I love to get outside rain or shine, and will always make safety my number one priority! I love to send pictures during my time with your fur babies so that you always have peace of mind that your pets are happy and safe in my care!

“Astro had the best time! I was told he would be well loved while I was away and she wasn’t wrong. Regular updates and pictures meant I felt confident Astro was looked after. Can’t recommend her enough!”
About: As a pet owner I know the pain of trying to find someone who will care for your beloved pet the way you would while away. I know how hard it can be to find care for pets with regular exercise needs. I am not a professional kennel or dog training. I am a dog mom who will love your pets like they are my own and ensure they have all their needs taken care of while they are in my home. I’ve been around pets for most of my life. My family had pets growing up, and as an adult I’ve pet sit for family and friends for over 20 years. I finally became a pet parent myself in 2022 to a mixed breed cattle dog named Teddy Bear. It was love at first sight, despite our rough start due to issues from him being labeled as a lab mix. I’ve learned from experience that breed matters when it comes to ensuring your dog’s physical as well as emotional needs are properly met. We delt with behavior issues, as well as anxiety, and food issues as Teddy moved through his “teens”. I hired a private trainer only weeks after adopting Teddy, and to this day we still participate in a variety of group training classes through most of the year. Teddy is excellent at Nose work/Scent work and loves the mental stimulation. These training lessons have taught me a lot about patience when working with dogs as well as how to work with dogs on their own level and through their style of communication. Teddy passed the Canine Good Citizen Test at only 9 months old! My motto is you are always training. I use the skills learned in the years of lessons whenever I am around dogs and it’s made me quite popular at the dog parks. My dog goes to hunt bunnies, and I go to pet all the dogs that seem naturally to be drawn to me. I only accept the dogs from 1 home at a time. Your pets will be a part of my family as long as they are under my roof. My life revolves around my dog. Teddy is a fairly high energy dog and this means lots of physical and mental stimulation is required. So we walk everyday rain, shine, or even snow! Unless the weather isn’t safe to be outside, we walk. If your dog isn’t as high energy, that is ok. We typically go places your dog can rest and enjoy the smells while Teddy gets his energy out. I have a hybrid work schedule and generally am in the office Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays from 12-5pm. My schedule is flexible though so if I know I have to be gone in the evening, I change up my days in the office so I can be home with my dog during the day. I feed the dogs 2x per day. Once in the morning and once in the evening. I have a large fully fenced backyard, and a dog door so the pups can freely roam between inside and out. It’s a bit of a dogs paradise with lots of birds and squirrels roaming about for them to keep tabs on. I do have a medium-large sized crate for dogs that need to be crated. And feed everyone in separate spaces. The couch under my living room window is now permanently the “dogs couch”. Teddy is very good at sharing his toys and beds. There is an overabundance of dog beds throughout my house. My house used to be clean, but then I got a dog. The house now belongs to Teddy and I just live here among his beds and toys. Teddy is great with dogs of all sizes and most temperaments. I describe him as aloof but friendly. He can be playful in spirts if other dogs initiate, and while he loves being around other dogs, is very independent. The only exceptions to his easy-going persona are aggressive dogs, or dogs that have a higher than usual tendency to resource guard. For this reason I cannot except non neutered males as pretty much every instance of aggression we have come across was with a non neutered male. Regardless of size. My neighbors on 2 sides do have dogs as well. So your dogs would meet them through the fence. We have 4 legged friends over on a regular basis, and the neighbor dogs generally love greeting the new friends so long as they are not aggressive. I do allow dogs on my bed as long as I'm not sleeping. My experience has been dogs tend to lay exactly where my legs need to be. So, I usually kick them off just before turning off the lights to allow myself use of my own bed. But if your dog is happy to stay on the other side of the bed without trying to take over my side, they can stay.
“Royce had his first stay with Qiaohui and her husband, and start to finish, it was an outstanding experience. We appreciated their communication, pictures and videos during his stay. He was relaxed, had fun with his new buddies and was clearly treated like part of their family. 5 ⭐️”
“We have an absolutely great experience every time we leave our pup with Amy & Shelby! She always looks happy both when we drop her off and when we pick her up after the stay. Before we found Amy & Shelby we tried many different places and sitters and had some really bad experiences... I'm so glad we now have people we trust and I would recommend them to anyone!”
“This was a very last minute booking and it couldn't have been a better experience for my pup. Qintian provided excellent updates with pictures, and was very nurturing to Kenna aka Peppi.”
“Sheena took great care of my dog, Uno. She handled introductions between Uno and her own dog really well. She updated me with photos, and Uno looked like he was having a great time. It was clear he was in good hands and well cared for. I’d definitely recommend Sheena to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive dog sitter.”
“I had to leave my Akita-mix on a somewhat last minute notice for a few days. Thankfully Justin was able to take care of Nikko and was an excellent sitter. Experienced, communicative, and receptive of my dogs personality. Would highly recommend!”
“Can’t say enough about how wonderful Liz was!! Her expertise in dog behavior is obvious, her communication (both before and during our pup’s stay) was lovely, and our nervous pup was made so comfortable! It was a relief to know our pup was in such good hands for our weekend away. Thank you Liz!!!”
“Nathan and his wife did a great job taking care of our pups. Lots of pictures and updates over the weekend. They even accommodated when our flight was an hour delayed coming in to pick up our boys. Would recommend to anyone looking for pet sitting and I will use him again in the future!!”
“Isabella was so so great with our dog, Benji! She kept us updated on how he was each day and really went the extra mile with making sure Benji was comfortable. Really appreciate the great care and I wouldn’t think twice about leaving my dog with her again ! ❤️”
“Mike looked after our little dog Loki on short notice, so that we could make it to a family memorial across the country. Loki can be out of sorts in a strange environment (he’s pretty set in his familiar routine), but he did really well in Mike’s care! We’re glad we were able to find such a safe and comfortable environment for Loki while we were away.”
“Rachel was able to watch Aspen for a last-minute booking when prior care fell through. As he is newly adopted, a puppy (at 7 mos), was abused in his very early puppyhood, and suffers some ongoing anxiety, to say I was nervous about how he was going to do was an understatement. Upon meeting Rachel at the meet & greet, I was instantly at ease. She has a calm and soothing demeanor, and was such a perfect fit for him, that I could not believe our luck. It felt like the universe conspired to make sure SHE would be his first sitter, so he can continue to learn that the world has many kind and loving people in it. Rachel was a proactive communicator, sharing pictures and updates, sometimes almost at the exact moment I found myself thinking, "I wonder what they're up to?" I was able to relax and put my focus where it needed to be: with my extended family for my mom's memorial service. I cannot express what a gift it was to not have to worry about this sweet little guy for my first time away from him. As I look ahead to future travel, I'll check in with Rachel first.”
“We had another wonderful experience with Joann! She provides the best care and we love getting the updates with photos and videos. It's clear that Dora has so much fun with Joann and her sweet dogs!”
“Peter and Serena were amazing. We had a family emergency and they were so quick to help. Great communication throughout and I loved the pictures they sent each day. What a wonderful couple - I highly recommend!”
“Philip was so good with our first doggy (1 yr old puppy) and his care was excellent with our second (3yr old choc lab). Steve had lovely park walks, mental stimulation and came back very happy doggie. Highly recommend!”
“5 stars all around. Candra and her family took very good of my dog. She is very friendly and easy to communicate with. She kept us updated regularly with pictures and was very prompt with her responses. She made us feel comfortable and I could see my dog was having a great time at her place. I would highly recommend her and would avail her services again in the future.”
“Ziyan took such great care of our Sadie while we were away! She made sure that Sadie was comfortable with her dog prior to the stay and sent daily updates and pictures, even taking her on hikes and runs. We truly felt like she treated Sadie like a member of her family and would love to have her watch Sadie again!”
“Quick replies/confirmation. Great availability for a meet and greet. Sent daily updates as requested. Nice backyard but also utilized leashed walks regularly. Nice family and nice home.”
“Yen and Terry are the best! They hey have cared for our doggy from 1day up to 2 weeks! No matter how much time he spends with them, he always has fun and returns home happy & healthy. The big backyard, clean spaces and loving care gives us peace of mind!”
