“Loretta was great! They took such amazing care of my dog while I was away—it gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was in such loving and responsible hands. My pup can be a little shy/anxious at first, but she warmed up so quickly thanks to their gentle and caring nature. I received regular updates, and photos which made me feel connected the whole time. When I picked her up, she was happy, and clearly well cared for. Truly grateful to have found someone so trustworthy. Thank you, Loretta!”
“Ana and Mitchell and their dog Ellie were wonderful sitters for our 5 month old Labradoodle puppy. I am very glad to have found them. Their fenced in backyard and house are set up for entertaining new dogs with comfort and safety. They were able to get our puppy to eat his meals even though he's teething and sometimes unmotivated. He loved playing with Ellie and he was so relaxed after I picked him up because he had a great night with Ana & Mitchell.”
“Cathy and Andres are amazing! Much appreciation for the boarding and care for Winnie while I was away on vacation, grateful they were able to accommodate a lengthy stay. If you're looking for a dog sitter: they were helpful, communicated frequently, and shared plenty of adorable photos snuggling and playing with their dog Charlie! I would certainly use their services again and highly recommend. Thanks again!”

“It’s always been very hard for us to leave our dog, but Catherine and Albert have made it so much easier for us to travel without worry! They truly go above and beyond to make him feel like he’s just part of their family. Our dog loves playing in their amazing backyard and walking in their beautiful and safe neighborhood! They also put a lot of thought and time into making sure the pack is a good fit so everyone has fun and is comfortable! Beyond being wonderful and caring with him, they were so kind when our flight was delayed this past trip. They stepped in to watch him for an extra night without a second thought, which was such a huge relief during a stressful travel day. We’re so grateful to have found such kind, caring, reliable people who care for our pup as much as we do!”

I’m beyond grateful to have found her in a pinch for dog sitting and we’ll be following up with her for training. She provided detailed updates and did everything she could to provide him the best care.”

Joyce kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us great peace of mind. Hankie came home happy, well-cared for, and clearly enjoyed his time with her and her roommate. We are so grateful to have found someone so trustworthy and caring. Highly recommend Joyce to anyone looking for top-notch pet care!”

“I had a great first time Rover experience because of Magdalena. Primarily, I was looking for a close location and price, and the bonus was that she also has a senior dog in her pack. She is a true professional and a genuine compassionate dog lover. If you’re looking for active, expert level, tailor made care, excellent communication, and reliability, please don’t hesitate to book with Magdalena. 🫶🏽”

Jesslynn is exactly what we needed. My 10-month intact male husky-Aussiedoodle that needs discipline and someone that knows how to handle him. I’m beyond grateful to have found her in a pinch for dog sitting and we’ll be following up with her for training. She provided detailed updates and did everything she could to provide him the best care.
Allisan and her family were wonderful to my old guy Shazam! She is probably the most communicative sitter he’s had with numerous updates, pictures, and videos sent daily, which we really enjoyed! If my old guy can live to see another trip down to SoCal then we’ll definitely use Allisan again!
Lily and Raoul took great care of my pup! They were happy to accommodate an early meet up so that my dog could meet them before drop off later in the day. My dog came home calm/relaxed and I could tell he had a good time. Communication was smooth/reliable and I appreciated the feedback and photo updates - I definitely recommend Lily and Raoul!
Lijuan is such a sweet person. She took really great care of our dog, Cooper. She gave us constant updates and pictures which was so reassuring. I could tell that she really cared about cooper and wanted to make sure he felt comfortable and also had fun. I highly recommend choosing her!
’ve used Ivanka twice now and she has been great with my senior dog. We did a doggy daycare trial run before boarding, and when we arrived for boarding, he walked into her house like he owned the place. He seems to be really comfortable around her and her dog, which is amazing because my dog doesn’t always get along with others. My dog is high maintenance because he has a lot of medication, treatments, and personality quirks, but she handled them with ease and followed all of my instructions. We also got photos for most of the days we were gone. We would use her again in a heartbeat.
Our Lea loves Dodonna and her family. She is a very skittish dog and would not let anyone approach her unless she feels safe. By day 2, Lea was so comfortable that she got on the bed on her own and rolls around like she owns the place. That is a testament to how loving they are to dogs, thus our sensitive girl feels safe with them. They even cooked fresh food for Lea to ensure she eats all her meals. Dodonna was also very responsive and sent updates, pictures, and videos daily. We would not board Lea withy anyone else as Dodonna is the only one that gives us the peace of mind when we are away from our baby girl. Honestly couldn’t recommend them enough!
Albane took wonderful care of our chihuahua Romeo during his boarding stay. She sent regular updates and photos the whole time, which made it so easy to relax while we were away. When we picked Romeo up he was happy and clearly well cared for. We'd book with Albane again in a heartbeat!
