1. Bennie & Jennie D.


“Sora had a great time during her stay! All the pictures and updates I received while on vacation helped reassure me that she was comfortable and happy, and I felt completely at ease while I was away- a pet parent’s dream when leaving their pets with someone new. ♥️”


2. Patricia D.


“Finn’s stay at Patricia’s was great! Daily communications of how his day was and updates on his play/food/rest were provided. The stay was Patricia’s was fun, safe, and Finn made lots of new friends”


3. Nancy & Richard B.

“Rick and Nancy took fantastic care of our two labs. They provided a loving space and long walks. Such a better option than a kennel. Thank you again!!”


4. Candi G.


“Candi was great and very hospital in taking care of our dog Spencer. I don't know how she does it. It's like a daycare center for dogs. We met first for a greet and meet and she made us felt welcomed and confident that our Spencer will be taking care of. Communication and photos upstream daily were fantastic. I like how Candi shows little emojis to point where all the dogs are. Candi really loves the dogs that she takes care of and it shows. I would not hesitate to bring our dog Spencer back again. He really likes his new buddies.”


5. Angie D.

“Angie was awesome! She sent special messages, pictures and videos regularly. Our dog is like our kid and we were amazed at how happy she was with Angie. Will definitely keep our dog with her next time! Thanks Angie!!”


6. Anastasiia P.

“Our dog had such a blast, we loved seeing all the photos and videos of him having fun.”


7. Emily S.

“Emily and Gabe were so great, they certainly are dog lovers! They took such great care of Tyson. They have a large backyard for running space and live in a great neighborhood for their daily walks. I received lots of pics and videos of their time together and could tell he was having a great time and not missing us much at all. Emily communicated with me the whole time and she did so many nice extra things to make sure Tyson's stay was an excellent one!”
8. Alison W.

“Alison was absolutely wonderful. She took good care of my puppy and accepted a last minute request. She also sent me frequent updates and pictures. We totally recommend her. Used her services while we were in town to go to Disney and she is conveniently located 15 minutes away from the park.”


9. Reena K.


“Traveling was always a concern because I couldn’t leave my dog alone nor find a reliable dog sitter. Reena has already watched my dog multiple times now and every time she wouldn’t disappoint. She always kept me updated on my dog’s activity and live pictures every now and then. I would definitely go to her next if i have another occasion.”


10. Mai V.

“Mai was the best dog sitter we could’ve chosen for our babies! She did an amazing job at tending to our dogs needs. One of my dogs is more difficult to break out of her shell and Mai handled her so well! Will definitely book her again in the future!! Thank you again Mai 💛”




11. Ashley O.

“My generally nervous dog had a great time at Ashley’s and came home looking very relaxed! She sent photo updates and was willing to give my dog her pill. Ashley was very accommodating and seems to really care for the dogs she watches. We would absolutely use her again next time we leave town!”


12. Doug R.

“Our experience with Doug was great! Puppies are difficult, but Doug is patient and willing to work with us on trying potential solutions. We are so happy we found a reliable person whom we can entrust our doggos with!”


13. Donovan G.

“Donovan is a true professional. He took special care to make sure my dog, Sadie, felt comfortable with him, his family and in his home. I like knowing he only boards one dog at a time—hard to find on Rover, as Sadie gets nervous in packs, especially with large, high-energy dogs. My only hesitation with giving him a five-star review is that it might make him harder to book!”


14. Derek K.

“Had to go out of town for over a week, first bug trip away from my puppy. Was extremely nervous but Derek did an amazing job helping me feel at ease with excellent communication and updates. I could tell my dog had a great time during the long stay! Derek even provided tips for training and gave me great insights that he noticed during the stay. Will definitely book with him again next time I am out of town!”


15. Rebecca B.

“Repeat visit. Our dog loves it there, always has friends to play with. The updates and pictures always comfort us that he is having a good time!”


16. Dulce P.


“Dulce was AMAZING with our Frenchie, Buhbuh. She asked all the right questions and we felt at ease leaving our boy with her. We got photo and video updates daily. Her communication was friendly and helpful. Buhbuh had such a great time with Dulce, he didn’t want to leave! Highly recommend and will definitely book her again the next time we need a sitter! Thank you to the moon and back, Dulce!”


17. Thavery B.


“Booked Thavery for 8 day boarding. She sent photos and updates of Harold on a daily basis. I felt at ease while Harold was in her care; she walks several times a day. And he likes hanging out with her Dexter, good company. I highly recommend!”


18. Claudia A.

“Claudia & her whole family took care of our dog like he was their own, which allowed us to vacation with ease! She is just a few minutes from Disneyland. We would definitely book with Claudia again. She sent so many videos and photos!!! Super grateful!!!”


19. Monica D.


“Monica gave us truly the best Rocer experience ever. She is so kind and sweet! I could tell how well loved our pups were while we were gone. She had frequent check ins and you could tell just how comfortable they were in her care. We will always go to Monica when she’s available because she’s just that great!”




20. Al K.


“Al was wonderful! Its evident that he loves dogs and knows how to relate to them. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with him. I was gone for six days and he sent many picture updates. I think my dog loved the many walks and outings that she went on. I would highly recommended Al as a sitter.”
