Andy did a great job caring for Wally! He was very communicative and sent lots of updates. Wally had lots of walks, playtime, and time spent relaxing—and came back home a very happy pup! I highly recommend Andy!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND ! We had the pleasure of leaving Max for the very first time in the care of Hyesoo , and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment we booked with Hyesoo she kept us updated with lots of pictures and videos, which made us feel at ease while we were away. Max came back happy, well cared for, and clearly enjoyed his time with her. We’ll definitely be using Hyesoo again in the future, and we highly recommend Hyesoo to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter!

About: I have extensive experience caring for cats from kittens to seniors, including administering oral medications. This includes my own cats and also family/friend cats. I have my own rescue pit mix dog who has needed some patience to build her confidence and I’m proud of the work we’ve done together in the 1+ years together. I’ve also worked as a kennel assistant handling meal times, medication, day cares, walks, and clean up. I have always loved pets, from hamsters up to big 100 lbs dogs. I will treat your baby with love and respect and understanding of their needs. I share pet care duties with my Fiance John who grew up with dogs and cats in his household and takes care of our two cats and rescue dog with me. We both work full time but I only work 4 days a week and John works 5 days but leaves later and gets home earlier than me. I handle the morning chores including pet meals and Phoebe’s first walk of the day. John handles the second walk of the day when he gets home from work and the second mealtime then. Night time, Phoebe always gets a walk before bed and cats get their last meal. On weekends and free days off together (I always have a 3 day weekend) Phoebe usually gets a trip out to a park, trail, or beach where she can either roam and get her running in. Phoebe gets playdates often with her dog besties who live nearby. Phoebe is crate trained and we have an extra crate on hand too as needed. Currently Phoebe and the cats roam free together when we’re at work because they’re trustworthy now but if a guest comes, we can separate rooms easily and use crates. In other clients homes, I will always follow the rules of the house. Dogs and cats alike will get lots of enrichment, walks, and playtime so everyone is satisfied and comfortable.

We couldn’t have had a better experience with Betsy and her family taking care of our furry guy. He had such a wonderful time and we received frequent updates with photos. Her kids told us stories about him when we picked him up- they made him feel like part of the family. We hope to have him stay with them again!

Kevin was an incredible Rover sitter to board my dog with. He accommodated us last minute and had more organized systems than anyone I've ever boarded with on this site. He sent detailed reports every day about my dog's day with great pictures - I was showing these reports to everyone I was with for my entire trip! I could tell my Meri was in good hands with him. She was exhausted after I picked her up - always a good sign. And his dog is very quirky and sweet. They have a good setup lifestyle and house-wise. Definitely recommend Kevin as an intentional and detail-oriented dog walker.

Zarah was immediately attentive, empathetic, and understanding :) She truly cared about learning everything about Monty and how best to care for him, and she sent tons of pictures and updates! I trust Zarah implicitly and know Monty is in great hands with her. He felt at home right away, and he will be happy to see Zarah and Honey again soon :)

Eddy has been doing an incredible job taking care of our 5mo old Vizsla! He has been able to be flexible in working around our schedule for pickup/dropoff on daycare days and for overnight boarding. He sends plenty of pictures throughout the days he has her to reassure us that our puppy was having fun and getting what she needs - we were honestly getting worried that she wasn't going to have missed us! When we get her back it's clear that she has gotten plenty of time to play and is usually out for the count most of the rest of the day. Definitely recommend going with Eddy if you have a dog that loves to play with other dogs!

My dog loved staying with Gina. He usually has a difficult time being separated from us, but she made him feel comfortable and secure from the very beginning. He seemed completely at home in her care, which made the transition remarkably easy for both him and our family. Gina is clearly very experienced with dogs, and she took exceptional care of Parker. We felt confident knowing he was in such capable and caring hands.
