“David was great with Bear! During the meet and greet he showed where Bear would be staying and where he had access to roam around. He gave extra love and attention! Thank you again for your care!”

“Terry and her husband were so kind and caring. My dog is often anxious in new situations and it was so nice to see her at ease in the photos and playing with Terry's dog! I will definitely book again.”

“Shelley was so great taking care of my dog as usual. She sent regular updates, and I could tell really cared for my dog. She was also accommodating when I had to change my pickup time. Would highly recommend her!”

“Sonia is wonderful. From the moment we met Sonia at our meet & greet we knew she was going to love our babies like her own while we were out of town! She was incredibly responsive to messages and sent the cutest pictures throughout the entire time she was watching our dogs. I will definitely book with Sonia again!”

“My dog can be shy but she lovesss to see Cesar and runs into his house every time we drop her off! Thank you for taking such good care of my dog and making her so happy”

“Renee and Christopher took great care of Bosco! They shared updates and pictures everyday, and were so accommodating on such a last minute basis. Their two dogs are so sweet and have they have a great setup for dogs, which Bosco clearly loved! Thank you both!!”


“Peppers had a great day spending time with Remo and his other dogs! Remo was prompt to respond to my inquiry and made it very easy to drop off and pick up our dog. He was incredibly responsive throughout the booking process, and we love that he specializes in small and medium dogs. Looking forward to working with Remo in the future!”

“Stella and Derek were so great! My dog absolutely loved their dog Lucy and She came home so happy and tired from all the playing and walks. The regular updates were greatly appreciated and I look forward to booking Stella and Derek again!”

“Thanks for taking great care of Pluto! I appreciated your fast responses, many photos & daily updates. Thanks for making sure Pluto had plenty of walks & was well fed!”

“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!”


“Betty looked after our 5 yr old dog Luna while we were gone for a week on an international trip. It was our first time boarding Luna with her so we arranged to meet her beforehand and she very kindly gave us a tour of the areas where Luna would be staying. During the stay, Betty was very communicative, sharing photo updates regularly, and attentive - taking extra time to ensure our shy pup ate well, which was so appreciated! She provided Luna with regular exercise and play time at the park with the other pups, and she offered Luna a separate, quiet space to recharge when needed. All in all we feel very lucky to have found her for the stay and would certainly request her services again. Highly recommend :)”

“Lauren has been taking care of Berry for over a week, and she’s been amazing. She sends frequent updates with pictures, so I never have to wonder how he’s doing. This is our second time booking with her, and it’s very clear how much Berry loves being there—when we arrive, his tail immediately goes up and he runs upstairs like he’s coming home. That says everything. I highly recommend Lauren and will absolutely book with her again.”


“Henri had a great weekend at Paulina’s! She came out to greet us and then took the leash and introduced Henri to her home-he was so comfortable with her from the start. Our dog has hardly been away from us in his 7 years and I was a little nervous about leaving him with someone new, but I soon realized I had nothing to worry about. Paulina is a very relaxed person and sent updates and adorable photos each day. It made me happy to see him look so at home with her. Don’t let her lack of a backyard discourage you-Henri was happy and tired when we picked him up. We will call on her whenever we need a dog sitter for when we visit our daughter in SF. Paulina was an absolute lifesaver and we are so happy to have found her!”


“Alvin and his wife were wonderful pawrents to Noki while we were away! He sent frequent photos and they spent plenty of time taking him out, playing fetch, and cuddling with him. We would definitely be more than happy to have Noki stay with him again!”

“This was the first time we boarded our dog with Molly & Stephen and WOW - 5 stars isn't enough! The minute we met them - we knew our dog was going to get great care, love and walks. We looked so forward to the daily photos they sent (hi-light of our vacation). They gave daily updates on how our dog was doing and any questions we had were answered ASAP. When we go away again, we will definitely be contacting Molly & Stephen. Thank you”

“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!”

“Great dog sitter! Remy took care of my English bulldog, Sugar, for 7 days and kept me updated with messages and pictures. His 8-year-old daughter also played with Sugar, which she loved. It gave me real peace of mind—highly recommend!”

“We couldn't be happier with the care Rio received from Rosalie and Frank! We left him him for 10 days and they were so sweet to him and made us feel completely at ease. We loved getting frequent photo updates and could tell he was a truly happy boy throughout his entire stay. We are so grateful to have found such kind, trustworthy sitters.”

“It was our first time having our dog, Pepper, stay with Geri. Pepper stayed with Geri for a little over a week and seemed to have a great time. Geri sent some photo updates and was responsive whenever we reached out. We would be happy to have Pepper stay with Geri again!”

Jessie was so sweet and caring with Dorie! We were so grateful she was able to sit for us last minute after another sitter needed to cancel. Very communicative and flexible to accommodate Dorie's needs. Dorie came home happy and tired after having a little backyard to herself all weekend!

Stephanie and Matthew took great care of Kira, were accommodating in pick up and drop off, and were communicative with updates about her when we were away. They seem to be very responsible pet parents and Kira enjoyed her time with them and Heath. Would love to work with them again!

If you want complete peace of mind, hire Viktoriya. She was phenomenal with Ivy, sending constant updates and taking her on multiple long walks daily. She was so attentive to Ivy’s needs and made sure she was totally comfy on the sofa or bed. Ivy felt such an instant connection with her that when I dropped her off, she didn't even look back at me. The photos showed just how relaxed she was. Thank you, Viktoriya!

Nicole was the perfect sitter for our senior golden retriever! We've used Rover many times, and Nicole stands out as the best. We had complete confidence that our dog was well taken care of and adored while we were away. Nicole went above and beyond to work with us on an unusual dropoff situation we had to coordinate through a friend while we were out of town, and gracefully handled a tense dog interaction at the park that not everyone would manage so well. She was easy to communicate with and very prompt to reply, and kept us up to date with pictures and videos of how our dog was doing. We will happily trust Nicole with our dog again in the future!

When Winter got sick during his stay (and we were out of town), we were so grateful how Clarice took care of him, bringing him to the vet and hospital and checking in on him during the whole experience. She was great about communicating with us during the whole experience and she treated our Winter like he was her own dog... we could tell how much she cared.

Anne Marie hosted my dog Ava for just a day/night, but it was long enough to show she's a great host and caretaker. She took Ava out on a bunch of walks and sent some great photos. Ava was clearly having a blast. Anne Marie took care to learn all about Ava's idiosyncrasies. And when Ava was whining at night over not being let into the bedroom, Anne Marie went and slept next to her on the couch. Above and beyond! Thanks Anne Marie! I hope Ava gets to stay over again.
