“Callie had a wonderful time with Kristina! Kristina was super kind, clearly great with dogs, and gave Callie lots and lots of walks. We got frequent updates and pictures while we were out of town, and Callie came home tired and happy.”


“Maria is the best and takes such good care of our fur bab and sends great and frequent updates. She is our new go-to dog sitter. 10/10 recommend! We’ve used her twice within two months and are already planning more stays.”


“Laila’s love for pups shows. She was extremely caring with our pup and kept us informed with photos. We were so nervous, as we’ve never left our pup with anyone but she really put us at ease. We highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone trustworthy, caring and professional to watch their pup!”


“María and Kalyan are the kindest, responsive and most engaging dog parents you will meet. They not only take care of your fur baby’s routine but will also make sure he is stimulated with play, exercise and lots of cuddles and love. I was so carefree while on vacation and would re book with them in heart beat . 1000% recommend.”


“Steph is the best, hands down. She takes excellent care of Neo and is so patient with him and reinforces his training. Neo loves her and Yogi and is always so excited to see them!”



“Martha is the best! She, and her family, take such great care of our pets. Khloe and Karly are always so happy to see her. When we pick them up, we can tell they had such a good time!”


“Mckenna was fantastic! She gave us constant updates and we felt very safe leaving our little guy with her. Upon pickup, Diego seemed relaxed and refreshed...he said he had a great time! ;-)”


“This was Indie’s third stay with Daria and Danny. They took great care of him and Daria sent many fun pictures of our boy. I highly recommend Daria and Danny’s as a second home for you pooch. Rhonda and Kim Seward Park”


“Outstanding. Vivian sent us videos and pictures most days and our pup seemed to be having a fabulous time! Excellent attention to detail and a great communicator. Will definitely ask Vivian to watch our dog again in the future.”


“I left my cat with Anhelina for a week and it was an amazing decision. Anhelina sent photos and videos of my cat everyday. She also responded quickly to my messages. I highly recommend Anhelina. She’ll make sure your little one is comfortable.”


“this is my second time booking with marlene and she is amazing. she makes sure she sends pictures of your pet everyday (much better pictures than i can take haha) and will take your pet on amazing adventures :)”


“We are so grateful for Sam! This is the second time we’ve had her care for our senior chihuahua mix. She sends us multiple photos and texts a day. He is so well taken care of with Sam!”


“Sarah is very communicative, trustworthy and experienced. I felt completely at ease leaving my pitbull monkey in her care. Monkey can be shy at first and is also nervous with other dogs, which Sarah was able to accommodate without any issues. She’s my new go-to!”



“This was a one day stay, as I had never left my dog overnight with a sitter, before, and at age six, I wasn't sure how it would go. I did an initial meet and greet with Claudia, who was very open to questions as she and my dog Piper were introduced. The physical space for the dogs is a large room which opens to a large fenced yard. On the day of the stay, I dropped off Piper and Claudia took her in without any fan fare or heel skidding ( like the vet's). I got a few pictures during the day and picked her up the next day. All was calm and she was happy; I was happy.”


“Genuinely was and is the best babysitter for my cat I ever have had. We spent hours on a road trip trying to find the perfect person for him, and Daiana took on the challenge for my special needs fur baby. Made him feel safe, loved, and cared for as if he was her own. She’s very thorough on making sure he had all his needs met, asked questions about his personality, routine, and general nuts & bolts about him. Updated us constantly and routinely about how his stay was doing and how his reaction was to the new environment. What my husband and I appreciate the most about her was the fact she had him relaxed and calm and took her time with him. Letting him come out on his own and being gentle with him made my heart swell with joy. And hearing he cuddled her, gave her lots of love, was such a lovely thing for us to hear. She definitely has the magic touch with our fur babies. I would recommend her 100% to watch your family member in her care and watch. I’m definitely going to rebook her as my permanent babysitter for Sero. ❤️”


“Our dog was very safe and well-cared for with Carolyn! We could relax on our trip knowing she was in good hands. We received frequent updates and cute pics. Thank you so much Carolyn! ☺️”


“Rose was amazing and Bozzie was so well looked after! She kept in constant communication and sent photos and he looked so happy! She’s so sweet and flexible and I’d trust her to take care of my baby anytime.”

Great stay with Joe as always! Joe is extremely caring, attentive, and responsive. He got in touch with me quickly when my dog had an upset stomach, and worked with me to figure out a solution. He clearly loves and cares for dogs like they are his own. Your dog is safe and loved in his hands! We will be back!

Up until I recently lost my senior dog I had always had a sitter come and stay at my house so this is the first time I had ever boarded my baby Cocoa. Daiana let me feel totally comfortable and I knew she was in good hands. I got regular pictures and updates and Cocoa loved her older dog Craig. It seemed like she and her family were enjoying Cocoa’s presence there also! I also appreciate her being flexible to me adding a night when I realized that my work schedule and evening flight arrival would make me awfully tired for a driving across town for a pick up. I am already planning to use Deanna on my next out of town trip!

Samantha and Andrew took such great care of our dogs! They came home super happy and relaxed. In the past with other sitters, our dogs came how anxious but with Samantha and Andrew, they were calm and I could tell they were taken very good care of. Will definitely be using them again for future sitting needs!!

As always, Maureen took wonderful care of Tex while I was away for the weekend! Maureen has great sensitivity to dogs, and have keen observations on how Tex did. Maureen also has great communication. It’s such a relief to have a great Rover nearby - thank you again, Maureen!

I can’t recommend Nhi enough! They took amazing care of my dog and truly went above and beyond. I received daily photo updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear from every message and picture that my dog was not just safe, but thriving. What really stood out was how thoughtfully she handled my pup’s separation anxiety. They came up with creative solutions to help him feel comfortable and secure, and were flexible in working around his needs. You can tell they genuinely care about the animals they look after. I’m so grateful for the level of attention and love my dog received. If you're looking for someone who treats your pet like family, look no further!

Rose took care of our dog for one week at her home. She is very friendly, kind to animals, and responsible. Pictures were sent every day, with commentary, as promised. Our lab felt very much at home. The photos showed her comfortably stretched out in the family home or backyard and being walked daily. We had peace of mind on our week-long vacation, truly a gift. We highly recommend her!
