4. Andrea L.

“Baxter has stayed Andrea and her pups twice for daycare, with hopefully more days to come! Andrea has a gentle, kind spirit and seems very attuned to a dog's needs. At our meet & greet, she asked great questions about Baxter and his routines. She provided fun updates with pics a few times a day -- much appreciated!”


5. Osaze R.

“Osaze was so so amazing. My puppy had just gotten her splint removed and needed to be very restricted and Osaze did just that. I am extremely grateful that he was conscientious in watching her movements. I also had to change the start time multiple times and he was so nice and flexible about it. Thank you so much!”


6. Aman H.

“Aman was very accommodating and took Zoe in for day care on short notice. Zoe was in his care for 2 weeks straight and was always excited to return. His location next to Lake Merritt was also great for Zoe to go on scenic walks in the neighborhood. Thanks for everything, Aman!”


7. Chad A.


“Excellent care ! Chad is very friendly and knowledgeable. He has a big house with a huge backyard. When I arrived for pick up, my dog was sleeping on the couch. Comfortable and safe. Thank you.”




8. Kim T.


“My dog Sasha loves KIm and Jeff, she is always overly happy to see them and hang out with them whenever she comes. Very welcoming and they helped me quickly get over my fear of my Dog being in a new environment.”


9. Eleanna V.
“I have known Eleanna for 16 years and in that time I observed her dedicated and loving care of animals, specifically, the 3 cats and 1 dog (all rescues) that she provided home, shelter and love for the entirety of their respective lives. She also cared for my own dog on numerous occasions, including staying at my home for 2 weeks. As a very reliable responsible person I trust her implicitly; she possesses a calm, caring and patient demeanor. My dog adored her. I would recommend her as an animal caregiver without hesitation. Claudia Simone”


10. Korin M.
“When Korin asked me to write a review for Rover.com I did not hesitate to submit one right away. Korin is responsible, measured and deliberate in working with dogs. She has a keen understanding of dogs and what makes their tales wag! 😉 My only complaint is that Korin moved away. Do not hesitate when you look to find care for your precious pup.”


11. Erika P.

“Thanks Erika for dogsitting Chase. Chase loved the company and hanging with the other dogs. Love those pictures you have sent me and he definitely had fun. We will definitely rebook with you the next time. Thanks again.”


12. Chawntea P.


“Kai and I enjoyed Chawntea so much that we rebooked. As a first time furbaby mom it’s hard to just leave my baby with anyone. I am so glad to have found her.”


13. Asha M.
“Asha is a great pet sitter and ally to animals, I would recommend her . She is very reliable and responsible to her clients and pets. My dog Kai loves seeing her and being walked and played with by Asha.”


14. JP C.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or just giving them lots of love and attention, I treat every pet like they’re my own. Friends and family trust me to keep their pets happy, comfortable, and safe, from playful puppies to older dogs needing extra care. I’m home most of the time! Any schedule fits into my daily routine, and I’m flexible to fit to your pets’ needs. No issues with me whatsoever. Our house has a fence all around, with a lawn full of grass, for your pet to enjoy running around and playing in the sun! I also have a dog park close to our house for your pet to walk to and play in.


15. Mary kay P.
“Mary kay has helped take care of my pup Roger when i'm out of town. She'll bring him out to a dog park and let him run around. She follows instructions that I have for the care of Roger as well. Thank you!”


16. Kathy C.

“Kathy walked Juju to the neighborhood park during doggy daycare & sent me updates. Kathy is flexible, friendly & helpful!”


17. Lindsey C.


“Lindsey is amazing! She was able to grab my pup while both my partner and I were sick. She made sure to tire her out before we got her back! I knew she was happy and safe, I will be using Lindsey as my regular sitter no doubt!”


18. MaryCatherine C.

“MaryCatherine is AMAZING! This was my first time taking my dog a sitter so I was bit nervous, but once Buddy got there I knew he would be in great hands. She shared videos through the day to share how his day was going (which also gave me comfort). I would HIGHLY recommend her.”




19. Dan G.
“I had to leave town for business and heard how good Dan is with dogs from an aquaintence. So I decided to call him up and give him a shot. Dan is very nice in person and seems to love being with dogs. Knowing how I am with my pup (Aussie Shepard) whom is a spoiled boy seemed to get the same treatment. I knew it was going to be a good fit when Finn took a liking to him the moment they met. He seems very confident with any breed or dog and I would highly recommend him to all I know and most definitely use Dan again when I'm in my travels. Phil V.”


20. Jaoh R.
“Jaoh, is a previous loving and caring caregiver and pet owner. His previous pet was very well behaved and disciplined. He’s dedicated, responsible, loyal and gifted in completing task, that comes with the responsibilities of taking care of pets. Before, during and after each pet’s walking schedule, all pets were taken care of in being provided food, water, and grooming care. I highly recommend this responsible young man, and can vouch for how he’d taken care of and treated our beloved pet. I wish that he lived close again, because I would relish and delight in him being our full-time pet caregiver again. He’s really an amazing person.”
