“May is definitely my new pet sitter. She was accommodating and flexible and went thr extra mile to help me (in a pinch). I have a sensitive pup and I can tell when he came home he had been having a good time. Happy pup. She even dropped my lil guy off for me because i was stuck in a work meeting. Very friendly dog loving people. Thanks May! Will definitely use again.”


“Justin and Tara watched my pup for almost 2 weeks, We had a meet and greet the week before - the booking was originally going to be one week, the 1st week of August, but I had the opportunity to go away for a few days before my original vacation and so I asked if Desi could come for a few days before the original booking and they were very flexible and said no problem, The meet and greet went well, and my pup got to meet the family and I felt like she’d be comfortable with them. She is very social and so I knew she’d be happy to be with a fun family and any other dogs they might have over - When it came time to drop her off, i gave instructions and said goodbye. I got updates, throughout the days- it sounded like she was having a great time and had settled in well, I got videos of her having fun with different doggy friends, and snoozing in laps and next to her playmates (Justin and Tara asked when we discussed the dates, if Desi liked other dogs - I said she loves playmates) I am so happy that I found Justin and Tara- they have a beautiful home and a wonderful family and they will take care of your pet as if it is their own.”


“Angela looked after our bernedoodle for few weeks with great care! She's intuitive and friendly. She exceeded our expectation! Under her care, our dog's hair got brushed every day, as well as brushing our dog's teeth every few days. Our dog's paws& butt got wiped after each walk and his face wiped after feeding time. Our dog came home with no eye boogers, not matted, our crate and his feeding bowls pretty clean! In fact, our dog's hair smelled like he got a quick wash (usually in other boarding place, he gets dirty real quick from outdoor playtime!) Angela was very good in communication (sending updates/pictures) Thank you Angela(as well as her daughter and her own dog) for being so good to our dog! We would definitely book her again in the future.”


“Thank you so much for taking such good care for my dog! This is her fourth time staying at Ann's house, and each time she has had a pleasant stay and I am so lucky to find a person like Ann !! Thanks Again !!”


“Bruno was instantly comfortable with Apple and her family from the moment he met them. So it wasn't a surprise when I dropped him of for his first stay and allowed me to leave him without hesitation. The peace of mind that Apple provided during my time apart from Bruno was priceless. She provided thoughtful updates which included pictures and videos. She made sure I never missed out on knowing how his day went. She even kept me updated on some concerns I had with his tummy and monitored his meals closely for me. She welcomed his obsession with giving kisses and his requests to sit on furniture and get on the bed for cuddles. He definitely seemed to have been feeling completely at home. Bruno's next stay is already booked. We can't wait for another visit with Apple!”


“We were a little nervous leaving our 5 month old puppy for the first time and Kimberly made it so much easier. She was so welcoming to Scarlett! She has two sweet pups, Ginger and Ranger and they were quick to welcome Scarlett into the pack. Thank you Kimberly for being so great with both us and Scarlett! We loved the daily pictures you sent and I know Scarlett can’t wait to come back for a stay! 🐾 ❤️”


“Shruti and Mayank took excellent care of Meera! They are incredibly caring and make a genuine effort to bond with her. We appreciated the regular updates and pictures they shared throughout her stay. We highly recommend their services and will definitely be booking with them again!”


“I had a wonderful experience with Alana and her husband as pet sitters for my dog, Terry. They were incredibly attentive and caring throughout the entire stay. I received daily updates and photos, and they paid close attention to all the small details to ensure Terry felt comfortable, especially with his eating and sleeping routines. What truly stood out was Terry’s reaction when I came to pick him up. He was happy and relaxed, and—something he had never done with previous sitters—he went back to Alana and her husband to say goodbye with a smile and a kiss. It was clear he felt safe and well cared for. I highly recommend Alana and her husband to anyone looking for trustworthy and compassionate pet care, and I would not hesitate to leave Terry with them again in the future.”


“Our family is incredibly grateful for Julia's care of Theo and 8Ball during our family trip. Now that they're back home, both are active, healthy, and doing well. Their past few days have been comfortable and reassuring.”


“YUWEI!!! , she took great great care of our dog Jeff even when he was a little sick, she gave him some different food and made him better. She’s super kind and sent great photos. I would definitely recommend and definitely will repeat.”


“Michael did an AMAZING job taking care of our dog. Very conscientious and careful, he took her on lots of walks and went above and beyond to ensure she was comfortable at his home. This was our first pet sitting experience and he really put us at ease. He also sent photos everyday and we felt our dog was watched after as one of his own. Great job!”


“Anna took great care of our dog PJ while we were on vacation. She is nice and thorough, and I could tell PJ was in great hands. My anxious dog needed a calm and understanding environment and she was able to provide that. Anna was able to follow the feeding and other instructions easily, and communicated with me daily, providing pictures and videos of PJ while we were away. I think PJ enjoyed his time so much with Anna because he wasn’t really excited to see me back! Thank you Anna for taking in my quirky PJ and providing for his needs while we were on vacation. 😊”


“Amazing sitters. Ruda and his wife were so warm and accommodating, even when I ended up returning from my trip a few hours later than expected, and sent plenty of photo updates. It was my dog’s first time away from home so I was extremely nervous, but it was clear from the photos and when I picked her up that she was having a great time and I had absolutely nothing to worry about, she was in great hands ☺️ 10/10, will definitely be using Ruda & co. for all future pet sitting needs and would highly recommend to anyone else!”


“MacKenzie is the best rover we have ever had! She and her boyfriend took care of our lab for over a week and our pup had the best time. She was great with communication and even administered eye drops with ease! We could not recommend her more! She is the best!”


“Honeybear was well loved and cared for at Danielle’s house!! Great communication, prompt responses, and asked great questions to get to know Honeybear. I’m glad we found Danielle and can’t wait to be back!”


“Alyssa was super quick to reply and send photos and updates while Bowie was with her. She also helped practice his training so he would stay on track. I would definitely book with her again!”


“Pranjali was great with Coco! I really appreciated the updates throughout the day from her with pictures and videos. Since she has a dog of her own I felt very confident that she could take care of my sweet Coco. I would highly recommend Pranjali for your next sitter!”


“Johanna and her family treated Millie like one of their own! Millie enjoys playing with their puppy Nova and loved being able to run around in the backyard. Johanna sent pics and kept us updated during her stay! Highly recommend Johanna and her family and will definitely let Millie stay with them again!”
