“My pup had the best time! When I arrived at Mari’s home, she showed me to the outdoor play yard. I received quite a few pics of my pup full on sprinting and having the best time meeting other pups in the neighborhood. Mari’s communication was excellent. I received pics every few hours and my very high energy pup arrived home after her stay and immediately passed out. Not an easy feat for a high energy doodle! We will most definitely be back!”
“Brianna took such good care of my dog! She clearly cares a lot about animals and I felt confident that my dog would be well taken care of while I had to go out of town. She what frequent updates and was always very responsive. I will definitely book with Brianna again.”
“It was our first time leaving our dog with a stranger and we were a bit anxious. Two weeks later, we came to pick her up and she was happier than we could have imagined! She had a great time with the whole pack and in the big yard. Anthony was great at communicating throughout, sending us daily pictures and updates. We plan to make him our regular sitter.”
“Bruce is amazing. This is our second time having turbo stay over. He sent us pictures and updates multiple times throughout the day. When our trip got extended it was no problem for turbo to stay an extra night. We feel the most comfortable when Bruce watches our pup than anyone else around. We can’t say enough positive things about Bruce and the care he gave turbo. We know in the future if we are going away we will only book with Bruce. Thank you again!”
“Adrien was fantastic! He was great about updating us and took great care of Duffy! I would recommend him and am planning to book with him again while we are away at an upcoming trip ☺️”
“Katherine took wonderful care of our dog, and he was happy to be there! She gave updates and sent us pictures. She loves dogs, and it definitely shows! A++”
“Claudia and Steven are a lovely couple and they were amazing with our dog Ellie. They communicated with us multiple times daily with updates and photos. Thanks to them we were able to enjoy our vacation knowing that Ellie was well cared for. Will definitely have Claudia and Steven look after Ellie on our next vacation. You will not find better sitters for your pet!”
“I am so grateful to have found this Karina and Teresa. They accommodated me last minute during the holidays and made the whole experience completely stress-free. They were very attentive, kept me updated with frequent photos and videos, and made sure my puppy felt safe and loved the entire time. I could tell he was well cared for and happy. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter, and I will definitely be booking with them again.”
“We were very nervous to leave our Zeus with someone we haven’t met before but Cassandra made us feel so at ease in her beautiful home. Zeus did so great and it was great that Cassandra sent updates and picture and video of our boy. Highly recommend!”
“Mikayla and Justine were both amazing with our dog Lew! He can be a little nervous, and they went out of their way to keep him comfortable and happy while we were away. We also got in depth notes about his day along with pictures everyday, which was so helpful! We will definitely use them again -- great sitters!”
“This was my first time boarding my puppy. We were not sure how our 4 months old puppy was going to behave but Mariana provided an excellent care to our baby. She knows how to read dogs behavior and our puppy had a wonderful stay. Mariana was really responsive and thoughtful all the time and I’ll totally recommend her! Thank you, Mariana!”
“Stephanie was terrific with my dog, Clementine. She knew just what Clem needed. The dropoff and pickup went smoothly. Best of all, Stephanie’s dog Caden was a great playmate. I highly recommend Stephanie, she’s amazing.”
“Noemi and Dave did an incredible job pet sitting my two elderly dogs. One of my dogs can be a bit shy and anxious but he felt right at home with Noemi and Dave. They were incredibly responsive and sent frequent updates and photos. It was clear that my pups felt comfortable and were well cared for by Noemi and Dave.”
“Bianka and her family opened up their house to our little Max for 2 nights and we were updated the whole time. She followed our routine and Max was a happy boy when we got him. Thank you!”
“Monique was great taking care of my puppy Maya. I found her through Rover and it was the best decision we could’ve made. She’s very professional and she asked lots of questions when we first meet her to know everything about Maya. It was our first time leaving our baby with somebody else and we’re afraid, but she was great and Maya didn’t even notice I was gone lol. She sent me a lot of pictures and was very responsive to my messages which that was a huge relief for us. She also gave us a little gift for Maya. I recommend Monique to anybody and we will definitely use her services again for our upcoming vacations.”

We have been dropping off our dogs with Anthony for years and could not ask for a better sitter. He is incredibly caring, patient, and accommodating, and it genuinely shows in how he treats our dogs. Every time we drop them off, they get visibly excited, which says everything about how comfortable and happy they are with him. We always have total peace of mind knowing our dogs are safe, loved, and well cared for. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pets.
Dax had an excellent stay with Monique and Anthony! They are so kind and knowledgeable, and accommodated a change in our arrival time, we were delayed because of snowy weather. I received lots of great pictures of Dax settling in and playing with their dog. Monique and Anthony are very knowledgeable about dogs and their interactions and behaviors, and take the time necessary to introduce the dogs to each other. When we picked him up, Dax was happy, well cared for and rested. Usually he’s over-eager to see us and fairly tired after an overnight stay. Not this time! We will definitely have him stay with Monique and Anthony again in the future.
Karina and Teresa were absolutely amazing with Evee! From start to finish, they took such great care of her and made me feel completely at ease. They sent tons of photos and videos, which I really appreciated; it was so clear how happy, comfortable, and well-loved Evee was the entire time. 🥰🥰 Evee came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well taken care of. You can tell they genuinely love what they do and treat your pet like their own. I couldn’t have asked for better sitters and would 100% trust them with Evee again. Highly recommend!
Michael went above and beyond to care for our dog Franklin. When we had to extend a trip out of town at short notice, Michael was quick to help us find a solution and was happy to have Franklin stay an additional few days. Further, Michael even went to the store to make sure Franklin had a familiar brand of food during his boarding extension as it was on such short notice. I couldn’t recommend booking with Michael more, he is the best of the best.
Andrea was super nice and managed to accomodate our last-minute Christmas booking. She kept us updated with lots of photos and videos, and our dogs looked quite happy and relaxed. Her house has a fenced-in area that they loved to play in. Most impressive of all, though, was that Andrea let the dogs into her bedroom (they are used to sleeping next to us), on Christmas no less. Our dogs seemed in great shape when we picked them up after their 3 day stay. She seems to be a very caring and careful dog sitter. We would have no hesitation in our leaving our dogs with her again. Thanks!
Zuleima and her family are so great! They have a very calm energy and sweet home. Our pup settled right in with them and thoroughly enjoyed himself over the long weekend. She was very communicative and sent pictures each day. We wouldn’t hesitate to have them keep Bear again.
This was our first time having someone outside our immediate family to watch over our dog Quincy. So we weren’t sure how he would do with someone he didn’t know, especially with another dog in the house. But I knew from the first time I met up with Nafiye to meet Quincy, that everything was going to be ok. He was great with Quincy and he felt very comfortable and responded well with her. He got a long very well with her very trained dog and he had a very nice stay with her while we were out of town. We liked that it was very important to her that she spent a little bit of time with him before committing to watch g him for us. She sent pictures and videos of his stay and playing with them. We will definitely be using her in the future, if she is available.
Absolutely amazing! We were traveling through the area, and needed somewhere for our girls to stay. Diana had awesome communication, was so sweet to our pups, and made us feel very calm! So thankful we had them stay and if we’re ever back in the area, we’ll use again!
