“Tyler and Patricia were so amazing with Bodie! I couldn’t have asked for a better pair to leave him with for the holidays. They were great at sending pictures and daily updates and I could just tell he was being loved on as if he was part of the family. They even sent him home with a Christmas toy along with the sweetest little Polaroid of him, neither of which were necessary at all but just goes to show that they really go above and beyond. I couldn’t recommend them enough!”
“We recently used Soonok as a dog sitter for the first time to care for our senior terrier, and the experience exceeded our expectations. Naturally, we were a bit anxious leaving our older dog in someone else’s care, but Soonok immediately put us at ease. Soonok was incredibly kind, patient, and attentive, taking extra care to accommodate our dog’s needs and pace. What really stood out was the consistent communication—we received daily updates and videos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dog was in great hands and being treated with genuine care and affection. We’re so grateful for the experience and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Soonok to others. We will very likely be using her services again in the future.”
“Our girls had a great time with Cheby & friends! We appreciated the daily updates about our girls as well as all the cute videos and pictures! The girls had a great time and are looking forward to their next play date at Cheby’s!”
“Absolutely fantastic sitter and truly cares for the dogs she watches! My dog had a medical issue during boarding and she went above and beyond to change out his food and provide me updates. Couldn’t be happier”
About: Hi I'm Your Pup's BFF - Trainer Jillian I’ve cared for dogs for over 12 years, starting with dog walking and pet sitting before becoming a professional dog trainer. Over the years, I’ve taught hundreds of dogs and their parents in group classes and private settings, from puppy basics and obedience to enrichment, confidence building, fitness, and more. Being a trainer has made me a better BFF and caregiver because I’ve learned how to read each pup’s body language, comfort level, personality, and little behavior cues. This helps me adjust their care in the moment, whether they need structure, enrichment, reassurance, rest, or a little extra patience. I have experience with puppies, adults, seniors, and pups who need extra support or special-needs care. Your pup will be treated like family — with love, comfort, structure, and plenty of tail wags. Your pup’s care is built into my daily routine, and I keep my bookings intentionally low-volume so every stay is personal, calm, loving, and thoughtfully planned. I’m home with the pups most of the day, and any time away is planned around their care. I do my best to follow your pup’s normal routine for meals, potty breaks, walks, rest, and bedtime so their stay feels familiar and comfortable. Please let me know before booking if your pup cannot comfortably be left alone for more than 4 hours, needs overnight reassurance, is under 8 months old, a senior, or has special needs. This helps me plan the right care setup ahead of time. Some stays may require my puppy care rate if your pup needs extra time, supervision, or hands-on support. With a trainer’s eye and a high standard of safety, I keep each stay structured, cozy, and thoughtfully supervised. Guest pups have safe rest areas with crates, pens, and/or gates for decompression and separation when needed. For their safety and your peace of mind, guest pups are kept separate from other dogs on the property unless calm, supervised hangouts have been thoughtfully approved for returning BFFs. Outdoor time includes leashed walks, sniffy outings, park time, and/or long-line enrichment when appropriate. If your pup has a familiar dog friend they love, let me know and we can talk through whether a pre-approved visit feels safe, comfortable, and doable with the schedule.
“Jess is awesome. I had nothing to worry about when we dropped off our dog with her. She provided updates and lots of photos to keep my mind at ease while we were out of town. Thank you again, Jess! 😊”
“This was my first time ever using Rover to find a pet sitter and we think we found the pit of gold at the end of the rainbow. Angela was absolutely amazing! My son was extremely worried about leaving his dog with anyone but family for the very first time. But the updates and photos we received put his mind at ease that Pluto was having a great time on his own mini vacation. Thanks to this, we were able to better enjoy our own vacation. I cannot say enough positive things about our first time with Angela and Rover.”
“Maritza is a caring, highly competent person. We have left our Bernie with her multiple times now and he always comes back to us better behaved and happy. It’s like we are sending him on vacation when he goes to Maritza’s. Totally recommend her to anyone that loves their dog and wants to relax and enjoy their vacation without a worry.”
“We are so thankful we found Sabrina! She is excellent at communicating and meeting our dogs’ individual needs. Daisy and Gus enjoyed staying at her beautiful home with a fenced in yard. We will definitely call again for our next trip!”
“Dolores watched our 11-year-old Chocolate Lab as was absolutely fantastic. She was sooo caring - she walked our pup regularly without even being asked. The accommodations at Dolores's house were better than Riley (our pup) is used to at home. Dolores was very communicative both before and during Riley's stay at Dolores's house. I would HIGHLY recommend Dolores and will definitely ask Dolores to watch Riley next time we need a puppy sitter. Sincerely, Vince Greco”
“We had such a great experience with Mike & Ja Hyung! They sent us lots of photos and updates, which really helped us feel relaxed while we were away. It was clear that our dog was being very well cared for and getting lots of attention and love. We also had to change our booking because our travel plans changed, and they were incredibly understanding and accommodating about adjusting the schedule. The whole process was smooth and stress-free thanks to their kindness and flexibility. We’re so grateful and would absolutely book with them again. Highly recommend!”
“Lauren was absolutely awesome! She updated us with videos and pictures from Toby through out his whole stay with her. Toby had a great time with Lauren and his new paw friends. Definitely booking again with her!!!”
“We can’t recommend Ximena enough! She has been absolutely wonderful with our 1-year-old Maltipoo, Daisy. Honestly, sometimes we feel like Daisy prefers Ximena’s home over ours — that’s how happy and comfortable she is there! Ximena and her family treat Daisy like one of their own. Whether it's going on walks, playing, or even including her in family picnics, Daisy is always part of the action and clearly loved. What really sets Ximena apart is the regular updates she sends — pictures and videos that show Daisy having fun and being well cared for. She also is very attentive if there are concerns from us that we would like monitoring like her food intake or energy levels. It gives us such peace of mind, especially since Daisy has some abandonment issues from prior to our adoption. We’re so grateful to have found someone we can trust completely. Ximena is a true gem!”
“Experience was great! My pug was not mad at me when I got there upon pick up! Sitter approved! By Louie🐕pictures and status of my pet 100%.. Will be taking Louie back we are very satisfied with the dedication Lianna provides to our pets. 😀”
About: Steven & Kim - We are a dog-loving millennial duo with no kids, and we work 100% remote on weekdays — so your dog will have company almost all day. We have a good number of years of experience raising puppies to seniors dogs and we take hosting seriously and treat every guest dog like our own. Your dog may return home convinced they are the main character of the universe — because we will have spent the entire time talking to them in a voice only dogs and dolphins can fully appreciate, dispensing treats like a broken vending machine, and playing until our legs give out. While we work from home, our schedules still keep us busy during the day at times, so we're unable to commit to lengthy exercise sessions or extensive physical activity for your pup if it's a requirement — but we make sure every dog in our care gets plenty of love, attention, and appropriate activity throughout the day whenever we can! We often take short breaks at least once every couple hours to take the dogs out for business, run around the yard, or play inside the house :) Meet Kohi 🐶 Kohi is our dog and the heart of this operation - Mexico born and rescued when he was 3 months old ♥ . He's friendly, playful, and loves fetch, tug-of-war, and removing cotton & squeakers out of toys. He's got a low-to-medium energy level — equally happy zooming around the yard or napping on one of his many beds. He does well with other dogs and people. One thing to note: he prefers dogs 50 lbs and under, so we ask that guest dogs stay within that range. What We Offer • Medications are no problem — we're experienced with that • Regular photo and video updates throughout the stay through text or Kohi’s Instagram stories • Minimum 2 walks per day and chill hangout time outside multiple times a day • Full access to toys and Kohi’s ultimate treasure cabinet full of treats! • AC when it gets too hot and 6 dog beds throughout the house • Partially fenced front yard and fully fenced back yard with shade, turf, and pavement (We always are supervising the dogs when they are outside) Requirements: • Up-to-date vaccinations (required) • Flea and tick prevention • Spayed or neutered • 40 lbs or under • Friendly with dogs and people • One dog at a time — your pup always has our full attention • Quick meet-and-greet before the first stay so the doggos can get comfortable. Low pressure, usually pretty cute. Have questions or a dog with specific needs? Just reach out — we're happy to work with you. 🐾 Pet care fits pretty seamlessly into our routine. We're two fully remote adults, so we're home most of the day and naturally weave in walks, playtime, and plenty of hang outs inside and in the yard. The dog is basically our coworker — and honestly gets better breaks than we do. Every guest dog gets the Kohi treatment — fed on their own schedule, walked at least twice a day, and given full run of the house. Since we're both home and working remotely, there's always someone around to play, sneak in some cuddles, or just keep them company. We treat every pup like our own, and honestly Kohi wouldn't have it any other way.

We get to hang out all day since I’m home full time.

Russell (my dog) likes to sleep and cuddle all day. If you know dachshunds then you know how it is. Whether your dog needs playtime, a walk or is a cuddle bug, I can ensure your pet stays happy and active during their stay.

If you have rules for your home, perfect! They will be followed.
“Bernard and Hung did a great job taking care of Chester! They were very flexible and communicative with us, sending updates and pictures. Chester seemed like he had a fun time under their care and was dropped back off to us on time, safe and sound :)”
“This was our first time leaving our BoBo. Amie has made his stay very comfortable and such a loving environment. Will definitely rebook in the future. She provided daily pictures and kept us updated regularly.”

Second stay for our boy Rip with Sabrina! Consistent updates with great pics! He is so comfortable staying with her in her home that for my partner and I, there’s NO other sitter option for our little buddy. Thanks again Sabrina for the over the top amazing love and care you give to our pup! We went on a cruise and had no reception but also had no worries knowing he was in good hands. Gave us the ability to relax, and Rip seems to have also had his own spectacular mini vacation! Can’t say thank you enough!
We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Gileen took amazing care of our dog, Remy. She was super responsive and she went above and beyond in providing us with updates and photos of our boy to make us feel at ease during the two weeks we were away. Remy was really happy and had tons of fun during his stay with her. I’d highly recommend her and will 100% book her again for all of his future daycare/boarding needs!
Soonok is a wonderful dog sitter to my little guy. I have used her two times now. She is always excellent with communication, and she treats my little guy like family. Cole loves going over there. I definitely recommend Soonok, and I will most definitely be returning for future dog sitting needs.
I had an emergency and needed to have my 4 pups put up somewhere for the long weekend. Naivivi was able to take in my dogs that night. One of my dogs is very apprehensive of people and can be a bit aggressive and she was able to confidently handle him. I appreciate the patience she had with him. Communication was easy and I appreciate the picture and videos during their stay with her. With everything that was going on, it was nice to know my dogs were being well taken care of.
We always board our 15lb Pomeranian with Lorraine whenever we go on extended vacations. She is always happy to stay there, which gives us complete peace of mind while we are away. They consistently send daily picture updates so we know how she's doing, and they are always flexible and accommodating with pickup and drop-off times. If you're looking for a dependable and caring sitter, we highly recommend them.
This is the second time Terese has watched our Pomeranian, Rosie, and once again we were extremely happy and grateful for the amazing care she provided for her. She sent us regular updates with pictures on how Rosie was doing. We could tell that Rosie was comfortable and felt at home with her. This gave us peace of mind so we could truly enjoy our time away!
We are very pleased with the care received from Maria. She went beyond what we expected when taking care of Simba and Yogi. She was open to meeting our pups before booking. From the initial meet up, we felt very comfortable leaving both of our pups under her care. The first day we dropped them off, she asked all the right questions (from play time - food and potty needs). Maria’s communication was great! She sent us photos and updates throughout the day. It didn’t feel like a simple check-in but rather a genuine greeting when they woke up, or did something funny and at the end of the day. Additionally, she took them out for walks, kept them engaged in playtime and gave them lots of love and affection. She quickly learned their quirks and attended to their needs. Simba and Yogi felt at home while they were at Maria’s home. We highly recommend Maria to anyone who wants their pup to be cared for as their own. Simba and Yogi approved this message and will look forward to a future stay with Maria 🐾
Huge thank you to Jeannie and Marvin for taking care of my pup for a week. They take wonderful care, and provided regular updates on how my boy Rigby was doing. You can tell how well they understand animal behavior, and can adapt to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible. 1000% would book with them again.
Infinity did another wonderful boarding for our Ghost (Alaskan Klee Kai). Last minute, she was able to take him in again and kept him safe, happy and secure. We have asked Infinity to watch him multiple times and I really can’t say enough positive things about her. Thank you again.
Caroline is the best! I couldn’t imagine anyone taking better care of our dog Penny. Caroline boarded Penny for a week. She sent multiple daily pictures, videos, and a detailed update of feed, walks, and other activities. It was so helpful getting those each day while we were away. She did such a great job making sure Penny had a very comfortable and fun stay at her house. We absolutely plan on using Caroline again for boarding, day care, and any other service she provides.
