Gabby is so sweet and took such good care of Penny! Loved the photos/videos of her walks. We picked up a very happy dog and would definitely use Gabby again.

Ryan is loveable and the ultimate animal person. His house is completely animal friendly and he makes sure I don't have to worry about my dog. Ryan takes everything in stride and also just a great human being. House is secure and good parking for drop off and pick up. Everything was returned organized. Only thing is now my dog is spoiled...or more spoiled hahaha

About: I have owned cats most of my life and volunteered at an animal shelter throughout high school! Currently I own two duck girlies who are my world. I am widely experienced with dog and cat sitting, frequently sitting for friends, family, and co-workers. I work from home, so I am widely available to care for your pets! I am able to work on weekdays and weekends for as short or as long as you need! I have a fenced yard for your pets to play in safely! I work from home so pets will have lots of fun and supervision.

Owen is the best! I had never used Rover before and I was nervous about it, especially because I have a husky puppy. But Owen was great with my dog, walked her and played with her the entire weekend and sent me regular pictures and updates, which I definitely appreciated. He has a huge yard and he stays with the dogs all day. He even sleeps in they same room with them so they feel secure (which is a plus for huskies, who need people around often). Will definitely use Owen again!

Great experience. Madi was an excellent communicator and flexible with drop off and pick up time. My dog stayed with her for 2 nights, and she sent multiple photos and videos without me even requesting it. When I went to pick him up, her and her roommates seemed sad to see him go. You could tell she gave my dog a lot of attention. 5/5, would hire again without hesitation. Thanks!

He took excellent care of our dog, Banjo. Brian was super communicative, always replying quickly to any questions or updates we had. He made sure Banjo got plenty of exercise, and we loved receiving photos—really reassured us that he was in great hands. When we picked Banjo up, he was happily tired out, which is always a sign of a fun time! Brian was kind, professional, and loves dogs. We would recommend him to anyone and would definitely book with him again if we're ever in the area. Thanks again, Brian!

We left Rowen with James for the second time in two weeks and I was afraid she wasn't going to be happy about it, but she wagged her tail and ran right in when we dropped her off. James takes great care of Rowen and she has lots of fun meeting new friends when she's there.

Rocco is a very smart and responsible person. He has had dogs in his life since he was born. He has always treated them calmly, gently and warmly. He seems to understand animals and finds joy when he’s around any dog or cat. He went through training at the Humane Society to be an animal volunteer when he was 14. He did that purely on his own to gain experience and to learn how he could help others. He truly loves animals and loves taking care of them. I would trust him to take good care of my dogs anytime.

About: Hey! I’m Manuella I’m 19 years old, I currently attend sbcc and I’m looking for a fun way to earn some extra cash for my living next school year. I love animals so much and I love exercising so I will be able to go on dog walks for long periods of time! I’ve had many different pets through out my life so I would say I’m very experienced with cats,dogs,etc. I love to play with animals and have fun, I’m a very kind and patient person so I can assure you that your pets are in good hands! I love meeting new people and pets so I’m really looking forward to trying something new! I work part time at a ice cream store and when im not working I would love to spend my time with animals, especially since I have none anymore. Over the years I’ve had so many cats and dogs. All my pets have been a new chapter in my life and i loved all of them. I took care of all my pets and enjoyed spending times with them.

Alicia and Max were so great taking care of our fur baby this past weekend! Our pup is a bit sensitive to change/new places, but she took to them and their home right away…they’ve got a great vibe!!! They treated her so well…from endless pets, to multiple walks a day and even a trip to the beach! ? (We loved getting photos of her smiling at the beach!) Knowing our pup was in good hands, let us relax and enjoy the weekend in Santa Barbara! We seriously can’t say enough good things! Thank you Alicia and Max!

Svetlana was the most incredible dog sitter for my sweet pup:) she was prompt at responding the entire stay & was able to agree to watch Toby with short notice. She kept me updating with sweet photos, and was even able to accommodate an additional day at the last minute. I returned from a weekend away to a very happy, (& clean!) pup. I could tell her & her boyfriend were very caring and attentive with him. I will definitely be booking with them the next time I need a sitter! Highly recommend.
