“Erika was so amazingly kind and patient. My pup felt so loved and happy as shown by his happy trot every time we arrived. We were very pleased with and blessed by Toby's stay with Erika and her lovely family.”

“Ashley was an excellent communicator who provided timely updates and proactive questions about my Yorkiepoo, Luna. Luna thoroughly enjoyed her quality time with Ashley’s family and dogs for a one night. I highly recommend using her services in the future.”

“Huan was the best dog sitter I’ve EVER had! She gave me prompt updates, and I felt so reassured and comfortable that Stella was well taken care of the entire weekend. She will definitely be my regular sitter from now on!!!!”

“Once again these kind hoomans took the upmost care of our two dawgs while we were away for a week! I feel so confident and comfortable boarding with them. Not sure what magic they have but my pit bull & frenchie love it!! Also— they are a hot commodity! Book them as soon as you know you need these hero’s to step in!”


“Vanessa is an awesome dog sitter! She took such good care of our girl. She sent us updates and pictures each day which gave us peace of mind while we were out town. Canela loved running around the backyard and interacting with Vanessa’ dogs.”

“Robin and her daughter, are truly tuned in to the dogs that they care for. They reassured not only my little dog, Piper, but also me! —and calmed my nervousness about leaving Piper for the first time. Besides showing Piper and me the whole layout of their dedicated pet spaces, they carefully checked my notes and expectations regarding Piper’s care and medication, and clearly followed all guidelines. Best of all, they regularly sent pictures and videos which reassured me completely that Piper was having a wonderful time while I was away! I will be completely comfortable and happy to bring Piper back to Robin whenever I need excellent pet care again!”

“Karen was truly AMAZING, and we cannot recommend her highly enough! This was our first time ever leaving our two-year-old pups, Ziggy and Ellie, with anyone, and we were going to be away for a very long trip. Naturally, we were nervous, but from the very beginning, Karen made the entire process feel seamless and immediately helped put our minds at ease. Before our meet and greet, I let Karen know that our schnauzer, Ziggy, can be protective when meeting someone new. Karen knew exactly how to approach the situation and took the time to make him feel comfortable and safe. It was clear right away that she is experienced with dogs and genuinely understands and cares about them. While we were away, Karen treated Ziggy and Ellie as if they were her own. She sent us daily updates, pictures, and videos, which meant more to us than she probably realizes. Being so far away from them for the first time was difficult, and seeing their faces and knowing they were happy, safe, and being loved gave us so much peace of mind. Unfortunately, both of our dogs became sick while we were gone, which meant a lot of extra work, cleanup, and special attention. Karen never hesitated. She went above and beyond to care for them and even had to take Ellie to the veterinarian. At times, we had limited phone service while traveling, and Karen helped communicate with the vet and made sure we stayed informed and Ellie received the care she needed. Having someone we could trust to handle such a stressful situation while we were so far away was absolutely invaluable. Karen exceeded every expectation we had. She wasn't simply a pet sitter—she became someone we completely trusted with two very important members of our family. Knowing that Ziggy and Ellie were being cared for with so much patience, compassion, and love allowed us to enjoy our trip without constantly worrying about them. Words truly cannot express how grateful we are for everything Karen did for Ziggy and Ellie and for us. We came home to two pups who had clearly been very loved and well cared for. We would trust Karen with them again without hesitation and feel incredibly fortunate to have found her. Thank you, Karen, for loving and caring for Ziggy and Ellie like they were your own. ❤️🐾”

“This was our first time using Rover and it was a great experience. Frances was wonderful and very responsive during the entire process from booking the reservation, to the meet and greet and sending pictures and updates during our vacation. She and her family took amazing care of our dog. We will definitely book again with her!”

“Rong was fantastic! She communicated regularly and Ralphie came home happy. I can’t ask for much more than that! Her dog, Lucky, is also a sweetheart and made a good companion for my dog.”

“Alex is the best. He was very understanding with us when our flight was delayed and Pip always comes back to us happy and relaxed after staying with Alex. We will continue to book with him as our first choice whenever he is available.”

“This is our second time with Megan and she has taken such great care of our dog. She sends pictures videos for updates . She even takes him out and about!! We highly recommend her!! Only person we trust with our dog!!”

“From the initial consultation to the end of the booking, Sam showed an exceptional level of professionalism and care. He was very respectful and responsive to text messages, and went above and beyond to ensure my dog was happy and comfortable. Sam’s communication was excellent and kept me updated regularly with videos and photos. I would highly recommend Sam to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”

“Fany took wonderful care of Barfi while we were away. Our trip ended up getting extended, and she looked after him for almost a month with so much care and patience. She kept him happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. She even gave him a bath before dropping him off, which was such a thoughtful touch. We truly appreciated her help and would absolutely trust her with Barfi again. Highly recommend!”

“I recently utilized Wendy’s pet boarding services and was very satisfied with the experience. She is incredibly caring and made my dog feel right at home. Wendy was also very responsive, ensuring that all of my questions were addressed. I highly recommend Wendy to anyone looking for a dependable, loving, and professional pet sitter.”

“Tracey and her family took care of my dog with so much love and attention! We started with a Day Care trial, followed by a weekend stay, and now a longer period. I felt completely relaxed while we were traveling because Tracey knows how to take care of animals. She sent photos and kept us informed about Harry's routine. Harry loves to cuddle and I feel like he has found a family that keeps him happy while we are away. I recommend her without hesitation!”

“Liya & her family provide exceptional service to my dog. Very attentive, caring and always goes above and beyond. She has been flexible with time, changed plans etc. As someone who is very particular, I feel at peace leaving Chloe in her care. Highly recommended!”
