Sonia was a caring and conscientious sitter for our senior hound, Daisy. Daisy loved Sonia's dogs and felt extremely comfortable in the cozy beds. Sonia sent daily pictures documenting how well Daisy was eating and behaving on her outside walks. We had such peace of mind seeing how settled and comfortable our sweet girl was under Sonia's care.

I've left Mocha with Ivy a few times and she always takes great care of him. Mocha really likes seeing her and her family. She also sends me multiple pictures and updates. I definitely recommend Ivy.

Victoria was absolutely amazing with Oscar. She was very respectful of all the directions I gave her and made sure to send me frequent updates. I really appreciated all the photos she sent me of Oscar because they showed exactly how happy and relaxed he was in her home. Her whole family made Oscar feel so welcome that it honestly seemed like he became part of their household for a few days. The best moment for me was when I went to pick him up. Oscar leaned into her, gave her a hug, and kept looking back at her for more pets and attention. That told me everything about how well he was cared for and how safe he felt with her. I’m extremely happy with how his stay went. If you’re looking for someone you can trust with your dog, I highly recommend Victoria. She clearly loves dogs, treats them like her own, and gives you complete peace of mind. Oscar will definitely be staying with her again.

The second time I left Pilo with Terry was when I truly knew she was in great hands. Pilo began to wag her tail as we walked up the stairs once she recognized where she was. She was so excited to see Terry and her dog Ricky again! Pilo would always be anxious when I'd take her to a dog daycare center so it was very special to see her light up like that. Terry and her husband are so kind. Very happy to know Pilo is in a safe and loving home when I need to be away.

Betty looked after our 5 yr old dog Luna while we were gone for a week on an international trip. It was our first time boarding Luna with her so we arranged to meet her beforehand and she very kindly gave us a tour of the areas where Luna would be staying. During the stay, Betty was very communicative, sharing photo updates regularly, and attentive - taking extra time to ensure our shy pup ate well, which was so appreciated! She provided Luna with regular exercise and play time at the park with the other pups, and she offered Luna a separate, quiet space to recharge when needed. All in all we feel very lucky to have found her for the stay and would certainly request her services again. Highly recommend :)

Jenna was so great watching our little Dachshund. She arrived almost 15 minutes early to our meeting point. I was worried because our dog had never been away from us . In addition he also has separation anxiety when I am not around. To our surprise he connected with Jenna right away and didn’t even notice when I sneaked away. She took care of our Elliott as if it was her own per. I can highly recommend Jenna and will for sure book her again if needed. Thanks again so much Jenna for giving us an enjoyable night out.

David was great! He clearly cared for dog and our needs to make us comfortable. His home was cozy and quiet which for our dog who is anxious was a blessing to keeping her happy and settled. Our dog is on medication and David took care of this for us with no concerns or issues. We also happened to have a very hectic schedule, David was flexible and easy to coordinate with which really made the process so much easier! Thanks, David!

Gabrielle was great with my dog Bruna. Bruna is epileptic and I was a bit nervous leaving her with someone on Rover—very glad I found her! She made sure that Bruna was well-entertained and cared for, all while staying on top of her medicine schedule. Gabrielle provided end of day summaries which I really appreciated. Would book with her again!

About: I have experience caring for dogs and currently have a 2-year-old pup of my own. Previously, I worked at a dog daycare in Korea, where I gained hands-on experience in handling dogs of various breeds and temperaments. During my time there, I also learned proper grooming techniques, including brushing and handling dogs in a gentle and stress-free manner. As a full-time pet sitter, I am always at home, ensuring constant supervision and companionship. I take dogs out for short walks every 2-3 hours and regularly visit the dog park for exercise and socialization. Your pup will receive plenty of attention, playtime, and love while in my care! Pet care is a natural part of my daily life, as I am home all day and always available to give dogs the attention and care they need. I love spending time with them, whether it’s playing, going for walks, or simply providing companionship. Since I have plenty of time to dedicate to them, I can ensure they stay happy, engaged, and well-cared for throughout the day! I have a 2-year-old neutered male dog who is very friendly and loves to play. In my home, pets will always have a companion to keep them entertained and engaged. Since I am home all day, I provide constant supervision, regular potty breaks, and plenty of playtime. I take dogs out for short walks every 2-3 hours and visit the dog park regularly for exercise and socialization. I also make sure they feel comfortable and safe by following their usual routines, providing a cozy environment, and giving them plenty of attention and care. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I ensure that each pet feels loved, happy, and well cared for.

Yasmim and Kaline went above and beyond to make sure that Jack felt comfortable and secure while I visited my family. Jack has bad separation anxiety, and I really appreciated their efforts. They kept me well informed with frequent messages, photos, and videos, and I could see that Jack was chilling and relaxed. They even captured his goofy smile! Jack takes several medications, and they dosed him on time and without complaint from him. I highly recommend them!

Robyn was awesome. Her place is inviting and my dog had an instant reaction, expressing comfort and curiosity rather than wanting to leave right away - that gave us confidence from the start. Robyn was very welcoming and kind, and shared a lot of photos throughout each active day. Our dog looked happy in the pics and was happy when we picked her up, so I couldn’t ask for more. Thank you Robyn!!

Paulina took amazing care of my dog, Rufus, over a long weekend. She kept me updated throughout his stay with photos, videos, and regular status updates, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. When I picked Rufus up, he was well-fed, well-groomed, and happily exhausted from plenty of playtime and attention. It was clear that he was treated like part of the family. I would absolutely trust Paulina with Rufus again and hope to use her services in the future. Highly recommended!

It normally takes him a few days to trust people but he was already getting belly rubs on the first day!! Mmezi was also easy to communicate and sent photos during the stay so I felt relaxed while he boarded. Thanks sooo much :) :)
