“It was great to have Leo stay over at Wei-Chien’s house. The couple made sure to update me frequently about Leo by sending pictures and videos and it made me feel like they took care of my dog like their own. They were also very friendly with us. Overall satisfied and will definitely recommend them.”
“It was an absolute pleasure and relief to leave Onyx with Deb. Onyx gets super excited to go to Deb's house and he is always well taken care of by her. Deb has been very helpful and professional with him and us too. She is flexible and we trust her immensely as we've been leaving Onyx in her care since he was a puppy. Thank you Deb.”
“Ashley was able to squeeze our dog in last minute and was excellent. She sent multiple updates with pictures and took him for a lengthy walk in the morning before pickup. We will definitely book with Ashley again in the future.”
“Winter stayed for more than 2 weeks at Sabrina’s place and he was so happy. She provided regular updates through messages, photos and videos of Winter. Sabrina gave him playtime everyday which kept Winter active and content. She accommodated all our requests while keeping Winter which kept us at ease and comforting to know that he is been cared for and is in a safe place where he is happy. Whenever I need to board Winter I would be thinking of Sabrina first.”
“Patricia took such great care of our Midnight!!! I love that she sent lots of photo updates and food/sleep updates! Felt very comfortable leaving our fur baby with her and would highly recommend!”
“Leaving my dog overnight was a new experience. Judy was patient with me and answered all my questions. She made me feel at ease and confident that my he would be in good hands. She sent me regular updates including photos. She was very attentive whenever I would message to check on him. My dog was happy and in good health when I picked him up. I will definitely be using her service again in the future, and I would recommend her to anyone that's looking for a great sitter.”
“My dog clearly had a wonderful time with Melissa! She sent me lots of pictures of him living his best life, and I felt super confident that he was in the best of hands! I am so appreciative of her excellent care.”
“Andres is the best!! I was unable to walk my dog for a week so he was completely riled up when I left him with Andres for the day. Andres took him for at least 4 one hour walks and when he came home he was finally calmer, even the day afterwards as well. Andres is really saving me as an overwhelmed dog parent! Thank you!!”
“Emma was amazing with my fur babies Teddy is hard to please but he was smiling through the stay if Emma will watch them again I feel comfortable leaving them with Emma.”
“Priyanka was amazing! We did a meet and greet beforehand to make sure everyone felt comfortable which put my mind at ease. She provided updates throughout Hudson’s stay so I knew how he was adjusting. It was my first time using Rover and Hudson’s first time staying away from home. He was nervous in a new environment and Priyanka went above and beyond to ensure he felt comfortable and ate his meals. Priyanka also has an active walk schedule so his exercise needs were met and consistent with his normal routine. I felt very comfortable my dog was in good hands and will definitely book again in the future. Thanks again! :)”
“Our dog Griffey had a wonderful week's stay with Janine. He got lots of outdoor play, walks every day, and a ton of attention, which he adores. I appreciated the daily updates and could tell that he was in good hands the whole time. We won't hesitate to leave our pup with Janine again.”
“Eden and Jacob confidently took on our rambunctious 1 year old golden retriever Toby. They helped walk us through the process, as this was our first time using Rover, and they welcomed Toby with open arms. Eden always kept an open line of communication with us and would regularly send us updates on Toby’s experience - his first time ever away from us. Toby had an absolute blast and it was evident when he happily followed Eden around while we were picking him up. He was even sad on the car ride home when he realized he was leaving!! We HIGHLY recommend Eden & Jacob, and will definitely be rebooking in the future.”
“I highly recommend Saksham for your pet sitting needs. Our dog stayed at his home for two days and I know she was well taken care of by Saksham and his wife. We received photos and videos from Saksham and he was highly professional and responsive. I totally trust Saksham and his wife and will call on them again for taking care of our dog. I know our dog will be happy to see them again!”

Beckett was well taken care of. Wenge and Changhe were very friendly and accommodating. Beckett had to taken to the EmergencyClinic for a problem that was not anticipated through no fault of Wenge and Changhe. They were prompt in recognizing the problem and took Beckett immediately. We are grateful for their care with our cherished pet. They were very loving with Beckett.
This was our first time leaving our dog with a sitter, he's a bit anxious and we wanted to make sure he would be in the right environment (his dad was even a little teary-eyed dropping him off lol). It is literally impossible to say how wonderful JR and Willarie are! Our dog Colby stayed with them for a week, and frankly I'm surprised he came home lol. They took such amazing care of him and sent us updates daily with pictures and videos. Their communication was excellent, and I know Colby had a great time with them! If you want an amazing pet sitter, look no further! (Unless its a week that I need them, then keep shopping 😉) I know I've said thank you to them a thousand times, but they will never never know how much I appreciate them both!
First time boarding my Beagle with Myt and I was delighted by the care and attention she showed my dog. I recieved regular photos and videos of how she was settling. Myt provided play time, walks and free run of her house. She offered the right amount of food and took note that Molly is extremely food and smell motivated.I was reassured through the pictures that my dog was safe, happy and well looked after. I highly recommend this caring , calm, experienced dog sitter. I will be rebooking. Thankyou Myt and Igor.
Our almost 3 year old dog just spent 1 week with Isha… and loved it! We felt so at ease leaving her in such good hands. Isha + family genuinely love our dog like their own and it shows. We couldn’t recommend them enough. We even received detailed updates and pictures everyday which was the BEST. Thanks for welcoming Grimm into your pack, Isha!! We appreciate you so so much.
I had a wonderful experience with Wei-Chien! She was incredibly responsible and kept me updated with photos and messages throughout the day. It was clear my pup was in great hands and had a blast. I came home to a happy, relaxed dog. I’ll definitely be booking her again!
Winter stayed for more than 2 weeks at Sabrina’s place and he was so happy. She provided regular updates through messages, photos and videos of Winter. Sabrina gave him playtime everyday which kept Winter active and content. She accommodated all our requests while keeping Winter which kept us at ease and comforting to know that he is been cared for and is in a safe place where he is happy. Whenever I need to board Winter I would be thinking of Sabrina first.
Eden & Jacob were fantastic to deal with! Our pup was automatically comfortable with them as they are so warm and friendly. They even got dressed up and played with him in the snow!! They were great at communicating and sent photo updates to let us know how it was going. Definitely plan to book them in the future!
