“Jose was excellent and really helped watch my dog for me during my travels. Great communication and even sent pics to update me. Thanks so much for taking care of my fur baby!”
“Natalia is extremely friendly and reliable. She and her husband took care of my 7.5 year old Havanese who’s usually a ball of anxiety when we’re apart. In their care, my boy was completely at ease and had so much fun. I highly recommend Natalia and know I can definitely count on her for future visits! Thank you so much, Nata ☺️🐶”
“Noelle and Victor took very good care of our dog, and responded promptly to my messages. Special requests were honored, timely updates were provided, and best of all were the home-made treats that our little dog really enjoyed! I really wish I could give Noelle more than 5 stars for her exceptional care and professionalism.”
“Dhruvit was great he accommodated me with a last min booking when I got called into work helping me out tremendously. He provided me with updates and pictures it was clear Zoro was well taken care of. I will definitely use him again to watch my pup.”
“Tynesha and her family were fantastic, sending photos and quick updates throughout our pet’s stay with them! He came back to us happy and healthy (and probably missing his new temporary family a little bit, too). It gives me great peace of mind to know that, if/when we next have to go out of town, we have this great option for our dog!”
“Rupali is an amazing dog mom and caring person. She took care of Happy really well. She sent updates and photos of him every few hours. Would recommend her anytime.”
“Yvette took great care of Hugo while we were away for a few days. He is normally a very fussy dog but Yvette made him feel at home and he adjusted soon.”
“I can't say enough good things about Bhavani. From the moment we walked in, I felt completely at ease. Bhavani took the time to learn about my dog's routine and preferences, which gave me real peace of mind. Her house was spacious, and full of toys for the furry babies and her kids were so friendly and played with Astro. I loved getting daily photo and video updates and seeing my baby happy and being well-cared-for. When I picked him up, he was calm and happy. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my dog now. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a safe and loving experience.”
“Courtney & Sherwood Were great with my dog Eniko. I am very pleased with their service and attention while we were away from home. They offer a safe, comfortable environment for Eniko. He was given exercise, play time, socialization and care. We appreciate the daily updates with pictures of my dog on his activities. We will definitely use them again in the future.”
“I really Love Jacqueline! I will definitely be using her again. She looked after our 2 year old schnoodle, and our 2 month old Labradoodle puppy while we went on vacation for a week. As someone who has had bad Rover sitting experiences, I am very protective when it comes to my pups--I always have reservations. But IMMEDIATELY from the start, Jacqueline put me at easy with her knowledge and genuine love for my dogs during the meet and greet. They liked her instantly! Her home is warm and inviting, and a perfect place for your furry family to feel comfortable and safe. Not only did she do a great job, but she went above and beyond what most sitters do. I loved how she communicated and sent pictures and videos to show that the pups were doing great every day. She continued Finn's crate training, and enforced his obedience training, so by the time we got them back, our little pup was almost completely house-broken! When we picked them up, it was clear that they'd had a great time. So even you have a nervous puppy, an old dog, or a brand new puppy, I can confidently say that Jacqueline has the know-how, and the true passion for pets to make your fur-baby's stay an awesome one. Can't recommend her enough!”
“Highly recommend! Diana and her family watched over my girls for 2.5 weeks and I was able to be on vacation at peace. She sent pictures everyday and reassured me everything was okay. She even went out and beyond and bought food for the dogs when they ran out. Thank you!”
“Stacia and her family was great with my puppy Teddy. I was in search for a sitter for my puppy for one day. I was nervous being that Teddy has never been left in anyone’s care but my family. I dropped Teddy off at 8 am, by the time I picked him up at 4 he was part of the family there as well. I love the way Stacia cared Teddy as well as keeping me updated throughout the day. This will be Teddy’s home away from home when needed. My family thanks Stacia for an amazing day for Teddy!!”
“Lucas and Katherine took amazing care of our dog Cali while we were on vacation. This was the first time we've had Cali stay with someone she doesn't know and it went so smoothly. Lucas and Katherine truly treated Cali as their own dog while she was there - she got lots of love and cuddles on the couch, all of her walks and they let her sleep in bed with them!! They sent a ton of pictures that made me feel at ease and kept me up to date on their activities throughout the stay! I would absolutely recommend Lucas and Katherine and will be using their services again in the future!”
“Jia took great care of our cat while we were away for a week. She made sure he was comfortable and entertained. He seems to have had a good time! We also got daily updates. We’d highly recommend Jia as a cat sitter.”
“Penny’s stay with Jessica was everything I could have hoped for. Penny looked so content and at home in Jessica’s place and made a good friend in Butters. Jessica makes everything super easy and is very communicative. I received daily photos and texts. I’m generally nervous about boarding stays but not anymore! We will be booking with Jessica again!”
“Bonnie did an amazing job with Coco, she made her feel at home and I am so appreciative of her care for my fur baby! Excellent care”
“Margarita was great with Blossom. Blossom is a bit timid but Margarita made her feel so comfortable. Margarita sent plenty of updates, photos and videos, which kept our mind at ease. Will definitely be using Margarita again!”
“Peter is very kind, caring and helpful. He took great care of me pet dog and kept me regularly updated ( on my request). He took care of food I provided, and walks etc. I would highly recommend Peter. Thanks Peter!!”
“This was my first time using the service although I've been a member for almost six months now. I had to go out of town for 8 days and I had no idea who was going to watch my very adorable Yorkie Poodle. I called into the service and gave them very specific requests that my dog needed in a sitter and I must say that they truly delivered. I was given 3 options and I choose Jennifer L. She was truly a Godsend to me and my dog Max. Her response time is extremely quick, she's flexible, she's super loving and sweet. I knew after our initial conversation that Max would be left in GREAT hands and that made me feel better knowing that he'll be OK in her care. I would also like to say that my dog doesn't warm up to strangers or new environments easily. Jennifer L. or as I like to call her (The Dog Whisper) had my dog eating out the palm of her hands both figuratively and literally once they immediately met. She sent me videos of them lounging, playing and traveling around town. I will say it once twice a million times this woman is the BEST!!! U WILL NOT REGRET USING JENNIFER L. ONE BIT. In fact I'm going to use her services EVERY opportunity that I can...that's how much Max and I love her...lol!!!!”
“Our Winston had a great day with Marlene! She was very attentive to him and had excellent communication before and during his stay. We are looking forward to having Winston stay with her again in the future!”

Dhruvit and his family were amazing. This was my first time leaving my Astro since we adopted him and they kept my mind at ease by sharing daily pictures and updates. They even accommodated me though I had a short notice request. Astro enjoyed his time there. I would definitely recommend them and will gladly use them again in the future.
Bandit is so well taken care of with Yanina and Eric! He comes home so happy (and tired.. lol)!!! They are the best!
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience boarding our dog! From the moment we dropped him off, it was clear that he was in caring and capable hands. What truly set Rupali apart was her proactive communication—we received thoughtful updates, photos, and check-ins throughout the stay, which gave us total peace of mind. Our dog returned home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It’s not easy to find someone who treats your pet like family, but she absolutely did. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, loving, and professional caregiver. This is someone you can trust without hesitation, and we’re so grateful to have found her!
Overall, had a good experience with Peter! Aside from a minor communication issue, Peter was a good doggie sitter for Yumi. He appeared to follow instructions regarding feeding/walking and kept me updated throughout Yumi’s stay. He was flexible with drop off and pick up times and Yumi seemed to enjoy her stay. Would book with Peter again!
Thank you so much Marissa for making Smores feel At home the best way you could , tho his anxiety took over his personality you were so patient with him that he was a bit better towards the end of his stay with you . Thank you again also with your guidance and professionalism throughout your service, along with great communication. Truly appreciate you ❤️
Sent lots of updates and pictures! Thank you again for taking my dog last minute and taking such good care of him!
My dog, Simba, appeared genuinely happy and excited to play with her dog. In all the pictures she shared, he looked delighted, and he returned in excellent condition. He got walked every single day and got a bunch of playtime with her family 😄. We are very pleased with the care she provided for our dog and will certainly use her services again in the future.
Gurdeep, is a true gem. Her and her family has been the first and so far the only other family outside of mine who has watched my dog Rocky. She communicates effectively and is super accommodating. I truly do trust and appreciate her; and I would definitely recommend her to other pet owners.

Thank you so much for taking good care of my babies. I have to french bulldogs this is the 1st time using Rover and I was very worried at first but Natti and her family made me feel at ease. She’s great at communicating and making sure of giving me updates everyday. She also send me pictures and daily routine of Rambo and Rocky with their daily behavior which led me to feel comfortable, knowing that they were doing everything they usually do. Thank you.

I felt incredibly comfortable leaving Lexi with Veronica even though this was her first stay. She kept us updated w pictures and text messages while we were away. Finding someone who is able to handle Lexi being diabetic and requiring injections daily is fantastic. Lexi is looking forward to her next stay.
She is the best👍 She took good care of my Coconut like her own. She gives updates and is very accommodating. Thanks Lydia❤️
Isabel was very attentive and overall very pleasant. She sent me periodic updates throughout each day. She sent videos and pictures periodically throughout the day. She was flexible with the drop off and pick up. I would use her again
William & Jaqueline were amazing with Willow during her day with them! They were very attentive & made her feel right at home. I really appreciated the updates & could tell she was in great hands. I’ll definitely be using them for all my future sitting needs. They are highly recommended!
I had my dog boarded with Mr Sudesh recently, they made her feel at home and sent me a lot of pictures of her enjoying and chilling with their dog. I would definitely recommend him and would love to board mine with him in the future. Thanks for treating her with love and care, really appreciate it.
Vanessa was great with our dog. She was communicative and gave us regular updates on how our dog was doing. Would be happy to have her watch our dog again.
Laura took amazing care of our high-energy Samoyed girl during an extended visit of 3 weeks. Her family and her pets bonded well with our dog and welcomed her into the family. She regularly sent me pictures and videos during the stay, and I could tell she was having so much fun! I also appreciated how thoughtful Laura was regarding our dog's care instructions and schedule. I highly recommend working with Laura! She truly goes above and beyond and has such a passion for animals.
Diego was super friendly and accommodating. He updated us with pics and videos daily. Will most definitely use his services again
Lauren took my r accepted my request to dog sit immediately which was a blessing! She sent me daily updates and photos which really put my mind at ease that Luna was in good hands.
