“Gracie was well taken care of with Jessica. She sent daily morning and evening photos so we could see our furbaby. She was quick to respond to us when we sent messages. I would recommend her. I intend to use her again when we are in the area.”


“Jennifer was kind enough to accept our pup Cyrus for a last minute overnight. This was our first time leaving our 6 month old puppy and she made us feel very comfortable. She sent lots of pics and was super responsive if we reached out. Would definitely recommend!”


“My dog sitter canceled on me when i was flying out the next day for a week, I was desperate and anxious! I requested her the same day and she accepted less than 2 mins later. She came over for a meet and greet and felt she was a great fit. I dropped my furbaby off later that day. She treated my furbaby as her own. She would send videos and pics to keep me updated. Would definitely not hesitate to use her again!”


“Maisha was an amazing sitter for my pup! She restored my trust in the Rover platform after a couple of not so pleasant experiences…and he smelled amazing at pickup! I received morning and nightly updates with pics. Will definitely book again!!”

“Thank you for looking after my dog Lexi over the weekend, you have such a great personality and wonderful atmosphere! I’m 100% satisfied with your service. You kept me updated with regular photos and messages, which is so reassuring. Lexi left happy and there were no issues during her stay. I recommend Yuberkis as a reliable dog sitter and will definitely use her services again in the future. Thank you so so much for taking such good care of Lexi! 🫶🏻”


“This was the FIRST time I was able to leave my dogs anywhere and actually not worry or stress about how things may be going. Everything from the house space to the family, it’s all just perfect! And I’m extremely picky! So ya just a great experience in every way. I wish all sitters were like this one. Definitely recommend her and I would gladly pay even more than she charges. Totally worth the peace of mind. 10 stars!!”

“Helped out in a last minute notice in a whole different state and treated pepperoni like he was their own 🥰 I can honestly say I got super lucky with them! I booked a trip to Nj to see the American Dream mall and take my son to Nickelodeon amusement park for his 2nd bday booked a hotel that accepted dogs but could not accept my dog barking and he barked when he was alone he had a bit of separation anxiety. Which I doubt it was as bad as the hotel made it but thanks god for Hsin & Paul! They were able to take pepperoni on last minute.”

“Neide was a wonderful fit for our dog, Vivian. She provided us with updates(both photo and video) everyday. She was great with following Vivian’s food and exercise schedule. Everything about our experience with Neide was perfect and we cannot recommend her enough if you are looking for someone to look after your furry friend. She is the BEST!!!”

Your attention to Chester’s behavior/reactions was reassuring, and the updates and photos were appreciated. Chester is resting happily, and we are thrilled that he made new friends and has a place to rest his head! Kia”
