“Sean was flexible with scheduling, he excepted my request almost instantly. The drop off was smooth and the line of communication was great as well. He provided plenty of photos and videos of Hercules while I was gone on vacation and he went above and beyond to keep my big baby comfortable. He even ended up creating a bond with my dog which led us to speak on scheduling another stay in the future. Thanks for everything Sean. I appreciate your service!”
“Our Coco stayed with Queenie & Yu-Chieh for 10 days whie we were out of town. They frequently sent us photos and videos to keep us posted of how Coco is doing. They took very good care of Coco and we are grateful for the wonderful care they gave to Coco. We will definitely book again in the future.”
“Rachel is great sitter. She took care of Benjamin for almost 3 weeks and sent pictures every day. Benjamin did very well and enjoyed the time with her. Thank you Rachel.”
“Michelle was the best choice we could make. She is very experienced, and she did more than what we asked for. Our cat loved staying there, and he was super comfortable with her. We really felt like Fifi was with family. Highly recommend!”
“Minh is so nice and accommodating. Very easy to work with. This was our first time using Rover and we could not be more pleased with the experience. She sent us picture updates regularly, she provided a safe and clean environment for our dogs. We could not be happier. Thank you, Minh!”
“Jaynee took great care of my dog during his stay with her! My dog is usually pretty nervous and takes time warming up to new people but Jaynee made him feel right at home and with the consistent updates she provided me, I could tell he felt very comfortable and happy around her. I have no doubt my dog was loved and well taken care of. I would definitely feel comfortable leaving my dog under Jaynee’s care again and I’m sure he would love that as well!”
“Jen did a wonderful job for my two boys! She was supportive, calm, and caring for my cats since it was their first time being with a sitter. She does well with contacting you with any questions and her pictures were a great help to keep me at ease. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a great pet sitter.”
“Outstanding!.. we had a last minute change and she was able to take both my pups. She is responsive, on time, she kept us updated on all the pups activities. Kesseling is certainly a sweet and kind person and that is something that reflected on my pets.”
“Dubs really enjoyed his stay with Rosita! I can tell he was super comfortable from all the pictures and updates she consistently shared with us. Dubs is a senior and special needs pup and Rosita made sure all the information we provided and advised was well taken. She accepted our request on short notice for 4th of July with our biggest concerns for fireworks. Rosita made sure Dubs was comfy and safe when he was anxious. We highly recommend Rosita!”
“I couldn't be happier with the care Stacey provided for my Petey!! Petey is a rescue dog and doesn't do well in new environments. However, he thrived with Stacey and her family. She is definitely my GO TO caregiver.”
“Xuhui is definitely the best sitter I have ever met! She took excellent care of my dog, Honey, and sent me photos and videos every day, updating me on how Honey ate, played, and went about her day. I watched Honey go from being nervous in a new environment to feeling completely comfortable there. Xuhui walked her, played with her, and even shared her homemade dog food—broccoli, carrot, and chicken—with her.”
“Ezra is amazing. I left my 4months puppy with her and he came back so happy. She stayed in touch to let me know how was his first weekend away was. She made sure he got his experience and even slept properly. She is also a great person to deal with. I will forsure be using Ezra for our future sitter needs :)”
“This is our first time using the app, and we had a few last minute changes. We saw previous reviews and decided to try Leah. Not only was she flexible and worked with us, but she was very kind and took great care of our little guy. The following day something else came up and once again she flexed to assist us. Thank you so much for helping us out and allowing us time to flex our plans in this vacation!”
“Melissa and Hyun were great sitters! They took good care of our dog and made him feel at home. They followed our detailed instructions and helped keep our routine while we were away. Our dog is pretty energetic and they made sure to take him on long walks and runs to take his energy out every day. Most importantly, they sent regular updates with photos daily. They are clearly experienced dog sitters! Highly recommend!!”
“My family and I are so thankful to have Zee pet sit Figgy. She was so attentive to his needs and we can tell that she genuinely loves caring for dogs. We appreciated her great communication skills giving us daily updates: pictures, and videos during his away time from us. I hope other folks in need of care for their dog(s) would be lucky enough to have Zee. We will definitely re-book with Zee again!”
“Jeanette and Vince took great care of Romeo. He had an ear infection that required application of ointment every day and they were kind enough to accommodate us! I would leave Romeo again with them in future for sure! I am hoping he can swim in their pool next time!”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember—from energetic 8-week-old puppies to sweet senior companions. My wide range of hands-on experience means I’m quick to read your pup’s body language, needs, and moods. Whether it’s reinforcing training, playing outside, or just enjoying some cozy cuddle time, I genuinely love being around dogs and treat every one like they’re part of my own family. To ensure your fur baby gets my full attention and care, I only take one dog at a time. With me, your pup will feel safe, loved, and completely at home. I currently work a hybrid schedule and only accept clients when I’m working from home. This allows me to be fully present and give your pup my undivided attention throughout their stay. I’m by their side the entire time to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I typically go on two 30-minute walks a day, but I’m happy to adjust the routine based on your dog’s energy level and needs. With full time supervision, I’ll ensure that your pup gets the care and attention they need! My house and backyard is completely fenced to ensure no funny business, while allowing your pup to enjoy all the playtime they deserve!
“Book with Yvette!! This is our first puppy, our first time leaving him overnight, and he has a fractured limb in a cast, so we were very nervous to say the least. I read Yvette’s bio and her reviews, which are so accurate! An added plus is she lives close by us but I’d make the drive from anywhere knowing how well she cares for pets like they are her own. Our puppy needs to take it easy while his fracture heals and Yvette totally understood that. She immediately sent us texts, pictures and videos right after drop off assuring us he was doing well. Throughout the day to night and into the next day she provided many updates as well and we appreciated that so much! It is very obvious Yvette loves being a pet caregiver and is so dedicated to making sure your pet is having a good time and well taken care of. We are so glad we found her. Thank you Yvette!”
“Tigger was well taken care of and had a blast while we were on vacation. Semiha updated us daily with cute photos and videos of what Tigger was doing. She even prepped food for him when he wouldn't eat the food we brought him. I would highly recommend her 😊”

Sean accepted my reservation even though it was last minute. He was great with communicating, and he cared for my dog as if he was on of his own. My dog truly enjoys himself when he visits Sean. This was the second time they got to hang out and I look forward to booking with him next time.
I have a special needs, senior malamute with (diagnosed) major anxiety. Ideally, I wanted him to stay with one sitter to build trust with the dog and for them to learn how to support his special needs. However, I have had issues with previous sitters that would leave me feeling unsatisfied (. After struggling to find a suitable dog sitter, I finally found Anna. Anna was able to accommodate me on short notice to care for my dog. She listened to all of my concerns and reassured me that my dog would be in good hands. Other dog sitters would dismiss my concerns, but Anna went as far as to send me pictures, videos, and text updates throughout the day so I wouldn’t have to worry if my dog was okay. From what I’ve seen so far, Anna has great control over all the dogs she has in her car. I let her know that my dog is very nervous around other dogs, but to my surprise she sent me a video of him playing with the other dogs and, even, swimming in her pool! Up until this point, I had never seen my highly anxious dog do so well around other dogs, much less swimming in a pool! All very exciting things. Suffice to say, I will be booking with Anna from now on, and I would highly recommend her to all my family and friends! Thank you, Anna!
We had a wonderful experience boarding Tangyuan with Queenie and Yu-Ching! They were incredibly respectful, communicative, and thoughtful throughout the entire stay. They brought all of Tangyuan’s favorite toys and showered him with so much love and care—it truly felt like a second home for him. We’re so grateful to have found such kind and attentive sitter!
Ezra is awesome. She went above and beyond to make sure our niner was comfortable and safe. She is very knowledgeable about dogs and cats and knows what she is talking about. Ezra even sent us updates to make us feel at ease being that this was our niner’s first time away from us. It made our vacation more enjoyable knowing niner was in good hands. We will definitely be seeking Ezra’s services in the future.
Melissa and Tommy were amazing! We left our guy for almost a week and I didn’t think he wanted to leave. They sent a bunch of pictures and updates which made us feel at ease. They followed all our instructions for our little guy and treated him like on of their own. We are so thankful!!
Michelle and her family did great with our corgi! She sent us tons of photos and played with him every day. He seemed very relaxed and happy to stay with her, and her frequent communication made it clear she really cared about him. We would definitely book with Michelle again!
We were lucky to have found Ziwen on Rover, From the start we video chatted General questions and proceeded to meeting up and checked her place. , it was clear how much they truly love and understand dogs. They treated our dog Kona, like part of their own family—regular updates, photos, and lots of playtime made me feel completely at ease while we were away. In the beginning, Kona was very sad and anxious, but Ziwen, knows how to calmly put our dog at ease and helped him adjust to the new environment, Kona enjoyed his stay, came home happy, well-exercised, and clearly loved. I highly recommend Ziwen to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and professional pet sitter. We’ll absolutely be booking again!
Kathy and Greg were awesome. Our shy yet high energy big guy took a day to get out of nervousness but had a blast for a week with them. Cannot say enough good things about how good they are. Frequent updates and photos, they have dogs that made him have more friends. They took care of everything and more and he had an absolute blast going on runs with them as a new skill that he has now gained. We will be definitely going back to them for all of our pet sitting needs. 5 stars hands down!!!
I have had the opportunity to have Brenda and Ernesto take care of scrappy doo many times since 2022. They do an outstanding job each time, I feel very secure and confident leaving scrappy doo in their care. Thank you both for always taking such good care of my boy.
I couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter than Emily! She took wonderful care of my dog while I was away, and I truly felt at ease knowing he was in such loving and capable hands. Emily sent me timely updates every day, complete with sweet notes and adorable photos that always brought a smile to my face. It made such a difference to see how happy and comfortable my dog was with her. Her attention to detail, genuine care, and consistent communication gave me total peace of mind. I’m so grateful for the way she treated my dog like her own. Highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!
I couldn’t be happier with the care Roma provided for my dog, Luka. She provided regular updates, including photos and videos of Luka which gave me great peace of mind. I came home to a happy, relaxed pup and could tell he had been well cared for and loved. I highly recommend Roma to anyone looking for a responsible, caring, and professional sitter. Will definitely be booking again!
I had a great experience with Xuecheng! They were incredibly accommodating and took such good care of Barfi. I really appreciated the timely updates and photos—it gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear they truly care about the pets they look after. Highly recommend!
