“Sonia was awesome! She took great care of Gus and kept us updated throughout the weekend that we were gone. We’d definitely trust her with our pets again!”
“Our pooch was very well taken care of! We received updates and photos twice a day, which was so comforting while being far away for over a week.”
“Grayson can be a pip!! It takes her a while to warm up. Fabiano listened and watched her verbal/physical cues, and earned her trust! She loves Fabiano, and so do we! Recommend A++++”
“Professional and wonderful as always! We love leaving our corgi with Matthew, we can tell he cares deeply for him and takes him on walks daily and makes sure he doest’t pick up bad habits. Highly recommend!”
“Marie was amazing with Kilo! She sent frequent photo updates and made me feel totally at ease while I was away. It was clear she truly cared for him, and Kilo absolutely loved her. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend!”
“Gracie had a wonderful stay with Katheryn. She was super responsive and clearly has a deep love for dogs. I know Gracie enjoyed playing with her dog and was sad to leave. Highly recommend and have already booked again.”
“Molly and Stephen did a wonderful job taking care of my senior Lab during his overnight stay. Even though he’s older, he still has plenty of energy, and they balanced his need for comfort and activity. They made sure he was cozy in his bed at night, let him enjoy their lovely backyard for breaks, and took him on a fun “sniff-rari” walk in the morning. When we picked him up, he looked happy, relaxed, and well cared-for. I really appreciate the thoughtful attention they gave him during his short stay!”
“I had great experience with Cristina and Ernesto. They took such good care of my dog, he was relaxed, happy and clearly had a lot of fun while staying with them. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in safe and caring environment. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and loving dog sitter.”
“Gina was great at accommodating a short last minute weekend booking! We did a meet and greet beforehand so my anxious dog could get more comfortable with them. Rosa is reactive towards other dogs and she was great at using treats to distract her. I also received lots of photos throughout the weekend, highly recommend Gina!”
“I could tell our dog had a great time with Alvin! He was incredibly understanding, attentive and sent us regular updates. He had no problem giving our dog his medicine as well. Our dog can be a handful and has a lot of energy - Alvin made sure to provide daily walks, play time and cuddles. He was also very mindful when having our dog & his dog meet and get used to each other. Our dog was well taken care of and we are so grateful :) We would definitely let our dog stay with him again. We recommend Alvin if you’re looking for someone kind, accommodating, and devoted to making your dog comfortable!”
“Alina took very good care of our dog Philo for a weekend. She was highly responsive ahead of and during Philo’s stay, which we appreciated. Thank you!”
“David was great! He clearly cared for dog and our needs to make us comfortable. His home was cozy and quiet which for our dog who is anxious was a blessing to keeping her happy and settled. Our dog is on medication and David took care of this for us with no concerns or issues. We also happened to have a very hectic schedule, David was flexible and easy to coordinate with which really made the process so much easier! Thanks, David!”
“Shelley was so great taking care of my dog! She sent regular updates and went above and beyond with caring for her. My dog came back happy and relaxed. Would highly recommend!”
“Victoria and her dog Rina were absolutely amazing with Kona! I was away for almost two weeks and was initially nervous, but Victoria gave me complete peace of mind. She sent frequent photo updates showing Kona eating well, having a blast at the dog park, and playing with Rina. What truly blew me away was her attention to detail, every five days, she sent a personal note with a full timestamped log of all activities and meals. I’ve never had a sitter be so thorough! It was clear Kona was safe, happy, and treated like family. I highly recommend Victoria for anyone who wants a trustworthy sitter, and I will definitely be booking with her again for my next trip.”
“Ingyin was just the best, and took amazing care of our Miss Sunnybuns! She was a recent foster fail from Muttville. Ingyin has 2 dogs of her own and it was amazing that Sunny got to be social with them over the 5 days. I will 100% be a return client. They just had a special bond, and it was amazing to see”
“Charlie had a great time with Diego's family and got along with his sweet dog Amanda. Diego was communicative and sent us lots of photos and updates throughout the stay. Thank you Diego!”
“We really appreciated Gabrielle and Patrick watching our dog for a week during our honeymoon - we got great, comprehensive daily updates and our dog really warmed up to them, which made us feel very reassured while away. Thank you so much!”
“Renee and Chris are very trusted sister. Because my dolls medical condition, I had to be picky to find new sitter not to have multiple other dogs. They only accepted my dogs and no other dogs. Renee made sure to provide the medication and she is very familiar with. They sent us a lot of pictures and video and we were very happy to know how our dogs were doing every day. Renee and Chris are highly recommended and I will ask their availability when we need our dog sitter next time for sure.”
“Cesar was amazing! This was our first time using Rover and we are miles beyond happy with how everything worked out. We’ll definitely be asking Cesar to watch our dog again in the future. Countless thanks!”

My labradoodle stayed with Maddie for 4 days and had a safe, lovely time with her. She constantly updated me with picturrs and comments and my dog loved snuggling with her(from pics)! She lives near an awesome park to bring my dog to walk and play. She's also good at keeping my dog clean! I'll book her as my dog sitter anytime in the future! Thanks Maddie!
Taji and Greg are amazing sitters, and I will trust them with my Karl for as long as they host! I come to SF for work a couple times a year and it’s so great knowing that my pup is in good hands while I need to work. This most recent trip, my dog knew exactly where he was going, let the way to their building, so I knew he loved being with them. When I picked him up he was happy and tired, for him a sign of a fun and active couple days. Can’t say enough good things!
Carlotta is freaking fantastic! My dog Obi came back so happy and it was clear that she got a ton of love and attention. Carlotta stayed in constant contact with us and asked us a ton of questions about her behavior and needs, which us put at ease. I will absolutely trust Carlotta to take care of Obi again in the future. So glad I found her!
Paul cared for my dog Noski for a few days and was thoughtful from the start about making sure it was a good fit. He immediately put me at ease with his experience caring for dogs with special needs, especially Noski’s recent epilepsy diagnosis. When my flight was delayed, he was very accommodating with pickup time, which helped ease the travel anxiety of leaving your dog with someone else. Now that we’ve gone back for more sitting, Noski’s own positive review is his happy tail wagging as soon as we arrive.
Chris was easily the best dog sitter we have ever had and that includes some of our good friends. If you are looking for someone to keep up with an active dog he is your guy. Chris sent daily updates from one of he and Olive’s daily adventures. Took amazing care of her and genuinely wore her out (not a small feat for our dog!). We will be using Chris again in the future and I’m sure our dog Olive will be very excited for when that time comes.
Luna is fantastic with Zuko! She’s always quick to respond and keeps us updated with plenty of pictures, which we truly appreciate. The way she talks about Zuko after each stay makes it clear how much she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. Zuko absolutely adores Bray(Luna’s dog) and enjoys his “vacation time” with Luna and her family. We couldn’t ask for a better sitter!
Shelley was amazing with my sweet pup Ash. Not only did she give Ash a fun and cuddly weekend, she also reinforced foundational needs like potty training, confidence building, and teeth brushing! Shelley is a wealth of pet care knowledge; she went above and beyond. 100% will be booking with Shelley again.
Alina looked after my puppy for a long weekend while I was away and she was the best! Egg was clearly very cared for while on Alina’s care. She sent through the cutest photos each day and Egg came back a very happy pup. Would definitely recommend Alina for pup sitting!
Celia did an amazing job taking care of our dog! She kept us updated throughout the stay with lots of pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She was incredibly flexible, accommodating, and even available on short notice — something we really appreciated. We’re repeat clients and continue to be impressed by her care, reliability, and communication. Our dog is always happy and well cared for with her. We’re so happy we found Celia and will definitely be using her again. Highly recommend!
