“Wenxu & her husband are amazing. They watched Enzo for the second time and accommodated us due to an emergency. I will continue to use them in the future & highly recommend. Enzo loves them and he love getting many pictures through the day/stay ❤️”


“Melissa was sooooo amazing. This was our first time leaving our puppy Scout on an extended vacation. I think our children enjoyed receiving updates and pictures of Scout as much as they enjoyed Disneyland! Scout definitely misses playing with Melissa and his furry friends. Many thanks for putting our minds at ease so we could enjoy ourselves.”


“Patrick and Karyn are SO great!!! My dogs loved running around their big yard and playing with their dog. They accommodated us when my flight was delayed and were so great with our dogs! Highly highly recommend!! Your dogs will be so happy.”


“Finley had a great time with Isabella and her husband as well as her pups Axel and Cookie. I received plenty of pics of my boy happy and content with his surrroundings. I would recommend Bella to anyone who needs a loving, caring dog sitter!! Finley will be back.”


“My dog's recent stay with Cynthia A. was a very positive experience. We had great communication and the facility is set up nicely for dogs. As a bonus, Cynthia has extensive experience with dogs and I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her.”


“Sara was very good about replying to our texts prior to meeting her and also while our dogs were staying with her. We received daily updates and photos which was very comforting to us being away on a trip. The dogs certainly enjoyed their stay and the loving attention they got during their stay. They also had lots of exercise and playtime. Our dogs also got along well with Sara's dog, Phil. It's wonderful to have found a responsible and reliable dog sitter in Sara.”


“Julia is a great temporary puppy mommy. This was our first time leaving our puppy with someone we didn’t know. Julia had us fill out an information sheet with info so that she could follow his eating and activities similar to what we do. She kept us well informed as to how he was eating, his walks and other activities with plenty of pictures at various points throughout the day so we knew he was in good hands. By the end of our short trip we felt like we now know Julia because the communication was so good. We will definitely leave our puppy with Julia in the future.”


“Another great dog sitting adventure w John. The entire environment is fantastic. The family is extremely welcoming to their 4 legged pet over nighters. Thank you John and family-especially Laverne!”



“Maria made my girl feel so comfortable being away from her family. She sent heartwarming pictures and videos that allowed me to enjoy my trip. Hazel seemed to miss her when she got home. I will definitely be booking again soon.”



“Paula and James are wonderful caring people, my dog is very active and clingy, however they did not mind at all and even better, she was invited back! Thank you P&J for your wonderful care, from your pictures I could tell Ginger was very well taken care of and happy!”


“Jamie was amazing! She took care of my 6 month old puppy for six days. She checked in every day and sent me pictures/videos so I knew my boy was safe and well taken care of. I would highly recommend Jamie. It's a beautiful thing to be able to enjoy my time away knowing my dog is in good hands.”


“This was my very first time using Rover and also the first time I’ve ever left my dog with anyone outside of family, so I was a little nervous. From the very beginning, Christina & Frank completely put me at ease. We did a meet-and-greet beforehand, and they were absolutely wonderful with my dog—treating her like their own from the moment we arrived. During her stay, they made sure she was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. They were able to administer her medication with no problem, and she seemed so relaxed in their home. Their two dogs were also amazing with her—it was such a comfort to see how well they all got along. I really appreciated the thoughtful updates throughout the day, including texts, photos, and even a video. It meant so much to see her happy and at ease. I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience, and I would absolutely trust them with my dog again. Highly recommend!”


“Samantha did such a great job taking care of my cat! She was super kind, reliable, and made sure everything went smoothly while I was away. My cat was happy and relaxed when I got back, which says a lot. I really appreciate her help and would definitely ask her again!”


“Sal’s 3rd stay with Theresa. He literally pulls me to the door when I drop him off. She is fantastic and Sal gets plenty of exercise with her. I will be back again”


“Hayley is an amazing sitter. The few days she watched the boys, she kept us updated with photos and videos and they were very happy, I highly recommend her and would definitely hire her again. Thank you Hayley!!”


“Trisha was great, she kept us in the loop with pictures and texts the whole evening. It was the first time we left our dog Jax who’s 1-1/2 old boxer with tons of energy. Thank you Trisha and we will definitely leave Jax with again and again.”


“Thomas and Lauren took great care of my pup! He was happy and exercised when I picked him up! And they were so understanding and flexible when my flight was delayed. Highly recommend!”



About: I absolutely love dogs! My family dog passed away when she was still a puppy, a beautiful husky named Belle. In her honor I make sure to give all the love and protection to dogs that little me couldn’t provide. I promise you, your fur babies will be so loved, cared for and protected while they are with me! I am an elementary school lunch aide during the school year, so I am only out at least three hours a weekday. I don’t have this job during the summer so my schedule is more flexible! I have a yard perfect for your fur baby to run around in, and the elementary school I work at is right down the street so we can get some great walks in and play on the field (only if you’re okay with it of course)! I will need a list of what you’d prefer for your fur baby and for you to bring their essentials for food, play, and sleep. I want to disrupt their schedule as little as possible so just tell me what I need to do and your wish is my command! The more details the better!

“I cannot say enough good things about the care Freedom gave to my senior dog, Chunky. He’s an older dog with some anxiety issues, and Freedom handled him with so much patience, kindness, and calm energy. They went above and beyond. They took him to the dog park not once but twice, made homemade treats, and even gifted him a sweet new bandana. When I came home, I could tell Chunky had been genuinely happy and well cared for. It’s hard to find someone you trust with your pet, but I feel completely at ease leaving Chunky with Freedom anytime. I’m so thankful we found them, and I’ll absolutely be booking again.”

Megan D.
“I can't say enough good things about Megan—she is truly wonderful with dogs. From the very first moment she met Milo, it was clear she has a natural connection with animals. She's calm, patient, and incredibly attentive to their needs. Whether it's a high-energy walk, gentle training, or just cuddle time, Megan knows exactly how to make every dog feel safe and loved. Milo absolutely lights up when he sees her, and that says it all. I trust her completely and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone who genuinely cares for animals as if they were her own.”
