“Jenny was great, super communicative and accommodating when I arrived later for drop off then planned. My dog quickly felt comfortable with her and got cozy in her bed which is very appreciated as she always sleeps with me. I highly recommend her for your fur baby care.”

“I’m so grateful to Cathe. She took such a great care of my cat Varya 🐱. The pictures of my pet that I was getting made me extremely happy and calm, she was in the good hands❤️ I would definitely recommend Cathe and will trust my animal to her again, when its needed.”

“Gracias a Jose y su Esposa, disfrutamos nuestras vacaciones sin preocupaciones, es la 1ra vez que disfruto sin tener ansiedad de donde lo estoy dejando! Mi Grogu, creo que disfrutó sus vacaciones tanto como nosotros, sus perritas tambien son un amor. Definitivamente volveremos a utilizar sus servicios!”

“I couldn’t recommend Corrine enough as a dog sitter! She is incredibly caring and loving with my dog, Diesel. Every time I’ve used her, she’s gone above and beyond to make sure he feels comfortable and happy. Diesel absolutely adores her, and it’s such a relief to know he’s in great hands. I’ve used Corrine’s services several times now, and I’ll continue to trust her with my pup whenever I need a sitter!”

“Very nice, very caring, she took a great care of my Tequila. Her dog Romeo is so sweet and full of energy they played all day and took naps. Felicia is very flexible with the schedule also, had no problem accommodating me very early in the morning. I really recommend her.”

“I was very stress free with Rocky being there. She watches a lot of dogs but introduces them slowly to make sure they like eachother. Rocky had so much fun. She also sent cute videos of my dog which was nice. Safe house with the main floor closed off so they can’t wonder around. Will use her again!!”

“Isabel took excellent care of my dog, ensuring he was well-fed, exercised, and loved. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands. Once I come back to Miami, I will definitely choose her again. I really appreciate that Isabel was taking care of my dog. Vinny will miss you:)”

“Yulienis did a great job taking care of my dog on short notice. She was extremely communicative and professional and my pup came back super happy and healthy - thank you 😊🐶🐾”

“Idania is absolutely amazing!! I’m so thankful to have found her. She cared for Baci like he was her own. She also kept me updated with pictures of their time together. He looked so happy! I can’t recommend her enough. Thank you Idania!!! :)”

“Anthony was amazing! Communicated efficiently and sent photos/videos. I had a delay and he was super understanding and waited with my dog. Will definitely book him again!”

“Thank you for taking such great care of Cookie! It means a lot to know she was in such kind and capable hands. She clearly had a wonderful time, and I felt completely at ease while she was with you.”


“I had a great experience having my dog stay with Brittanyliz. She was very easy to communicate with and flexible about drop off and pick up. My dog has done nothing but sleep since he got back, so I know he had a great time playing with her sweet pup.”

“Adriana was phenomenal! This was my first time using this app and she made it all feel so easy and effortless. It’s always difficult to leave my fur baby when I’m away, but her great communication and constant follow up reassured me that Maui was in great hands! I highly recommend her! Thanks Adriana!”

“Marius was a wonderful sitter! You can immediately tell how much she truly loves dogs. She was patient, extremely friendly, and Gambit liked her! She also did a great job keeping me updated with pictures, and I could tell he was having such a great time. When we picked him up, he was calm, happy, and clearly very comfortable with her, which is always the best sign!!”

“Ivan was amazing. He was aware of our dogs issues and did a great job keeping me in the loop with everything. He is very quick to respond and sent daily updates which was very reassuring.”

“Marckedly was absolutely amazing! He was very attentive, enthusiastic, and clearly cared about Bentley’s comfort and happiness. Even though it was a last-minute booking, everything was handled so smoothly and the transition was seamless. Bentley loved his time there and was always smiling in the pictures and videos that were sent to me, which gave me so much peace of mind. It’s clear that Marckedly genuinely loves what he does and treats every dog like his own. I will definitely rebook! Bentley cannot wait! 🐾”

“Isabela and Tarik were great! They took excellent care of my Great Dane with great communication and lots of updates. They have a lovely home too that had the perfect backyard! Upon returning I had a day full of flight delays and ended up arriving much later than expected. They went above and beyond and were incredibly kind and patient and helpful in coordinating a pickup late in the evening. Would definitely book again!”

Shirley was great! She met us and our pup Kona for a meet & greet before we booked a 5 night boarding stay with her. She has a nice private yard. She sent daily video updates. Kona seemed very calm with her, and wasn’t overly excited to leave when we picked her up 😄. We will book with Shirley again!

This was our first time having a pet sitter for our dog and Jennifer made it the perfect experience! We received status updates and photos and videos daily. Since the first day, Jennifer has been so thoughtful and caring to our dog. Our dog loved staying with Jennifer and the snacks and treats! Jennifer was also very flexible with the pick up time. Highly recommend!

Jonathan is absolutely the best — I couldn't recommend him more highly! I left my Cavalier King Charles, Wyatt, in his care and felt completely at ease the entire time. Jonathan is attentive & genuinely loves animals. His home is a loving, comfortable environment with other pets, which made Wyatt feel right at home from the start. You can tell Jonathan truly cares about the dogs he watches — not just as a job, but because it's in his nature. Wyatt came back happy, well-loved, and clearly had a great time!

Erick was 10/10!!! communication, flexibility, positive energy and giving my baby love and a temporary home for my last-minute trip. He read through her entire profile before I dropped her off and asked any clarifying questions. He provided numerous video and photo updates. I really appreciated how he was thoughtful and proactive of her feelings and needs. She came home to me energized and healthy. We will definitely be back. He has a beautiful, clean home and gorgeous garden that makes for a safe, fun environment. Thanks again Erick!! We'll see you soon! ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Jessica is top of the line I got pictures and videos daily, she was loving, caring and pampering to my dog. Drop off and pick up were simple and relaxed accomodating to my strange schedule of the trip. wonderful communincation , my dog was extremely well taken care. Thank you

Chloe and her boyfriend were amazing!! She sent tons of photos and videos, keeping us updated. You can tell her & her boyfriend truly love animals. Our dog had an amazing time with them & her corgi Oliver. Would definitely leave our dog with Chloe next time we’re out of town! :)

This is my second time booking with Liora and it was just as fantastic as the first. Liora is communicative, caring, and my pup is treated like family while staying with her. I’m truly grateful to have been connected with such a great sitter and will for sure continue to book her in the future!

I couldn’t be happier with the care Rocia Moka’s dog sitter provided. My dog Moka immediately felt comfortable, which says everything! I would absolutely recommend Rocia to anyone looking for someone dependable, kind, and professional. I’ll definitely be booking again!
