Christina and her husband Nick were amazing! She had questions ready prior to the booking to insure the best care for my dog Marley, she sent me constant update and pictures, and made me feel super comfortable. I will definitely be booking with Christina again! Marley loved both of them and I’m sure he looks forward to seeing them again.

She’s fantastic! Michelle ensures that your animal is loved, care for - takes time to feed and do the routines that your dog has daily. She has a super clean home with an area just for your dog that makes you feel like it’s a doggy hotel! Nameplate and first time sitter certificate was a nice touch. We received many updates of all kinds - videos, pictures and texts throughout her stay. Her own dogs are lovely and kept Lulu active and entertained (she s a puppy so it was great!). We plan on booking her again if available and would recommend her to everyone! Thank you, Michelle!!

The feedback I received from Paloma was great. The start of the scheduled pickup time was a little nerve racking, I scheduled a 8:00 PM pickup and no response until after 12:00 AM. My daughter said I was scammed and that was my biggest fear, but when I received the text message from Paloma I felt a little better and she reduced the fee. She picked Juicey up and I really felt better she would be cared for while I was away. Thank you for the care for my fur baby

This was the first time our 2 girls Juniper and Honey have ever stayed overnight anywhere since we rescued them 5 years ago. We felt confident having Carolina watching our girls. Prior to their stay we did a meet and greet. Carolina has a very calm demeanor, and we were very confident that the girls would be comfortable in her home. She sent us pictures and gave us updates of how they were doing, which was nice. When we picked them up they were very happy, so we'll definitely be using her services again.

We left our young dog Luna with Geoff and family, and they could not have been more WONDERFUL!! They truly went above and beyond sending us so many pictures and videos of Luna having fun playing with other dogs, running in the dog park, and even splashing in a small plastic pool they set up for the dogs to cool off in their fenced in backyard. They are truly so kind and we were so at ease during our vacation knowing that Luna is having a great time on a vacation of her own! They really care for all the dogs they watch as if they are their own. We will definitely be using their services for our future boarding needs and we HIGHLY recommend them!!

Karla was amazing! I will absolutely recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone to watch their dog. I have an 80 pound Bernedoodle who is 1 year old- which can be quite a handful lol. Karla sent me photos of him all throughout the stay. She has a backyard so he was running and playing all day. I picked him up an hour ago and he’s already sleeping like a baby. Karla is incredibly kind and trustworthy. She even gave us a card with pictures of our Apollo along with some gifts🥹 thank you Karla! I will definitely be using her services again whenever I go away.

About: I have years of experience in the caretaking of animals and I’ve always done it with love, my family and friends always trusted me to care for their pets since I was younger and i’ve always enjoyed it. I love every part of taking care of animals whether its grooming, bathing oral medications administration etc… Animals will always hold a special place in my heart. My schedule is very flexible, I usually stay home and do online school work most of the time, so I’m available really anytime on weekdays and sometimes on weekends. I will care for the pets by making sure they are well fed, kept clean and healthy. I live in a very safe neighborhood with a nice park down the street. I have an animal friendly household with fences outside to ensure that the pets wont wander off.

We left our maltipoo with Moonyoung and Sunhyung for the longest we have ever left her. We were admittedly very nervous at first, but were immediately put at ease. Our dog was not doing so well with the adjustment the first few days and was having some GI problems, but they were so patient, kind, and caring with her and nursed her back to health while communicating with us the whole time. I could tell our pup was so comfortable and happy with them once she felt better- and it made my time away so much more enjoyable and relaxed. Don’t hesitate to book - they are such great and kind people!

Ninoska was our very first experience using Rover, and she absolutely set the bar high! From the moment we met her during the meet-and-greet, we felt at ease she was warm, informative, and so welcoming. We were nervous first-time puppy parents leaving our 15-week-old Lola for the first time, but Ninoska made the whole process smooth and stress-free. While we were away for 4 days, she sent us regular updates with adorable photos and videos of Lola playing and looking so happy. Lola clearly felt at home she even ate more than usual (I think she gained a healthy little pound!), and her tummy was doing great. Ninoska even shared some recipes and snack tips that worked wonders for Lola. Truly a 10/10 experience. Ninoska is not just a sitter she’s a puppy/dog whisperer, and we’re so lucky we found her. We love her and so does Lola!

Kun, his wife and their pup Som were incredible hosts to Thor! They were amazing communicators, consistently kept you updated, and were extremely mindful to ask about any health concerns, allergies or tendencies. Thor was very sad to leave them but he will definitely see them again! They also provided us with the cutest Polaroid photo of him and Som! Thank you both so much for allowing Thor to stay with you!!

At first I was worried leaving my puppy with anyone in this world, Michelle did such a great job sending me pictures and videos every single day without missing a beat. Besides taking care of my puppy, she did train her on some bad habits that I had developed, which now are non existent. I know where to go next time, hands down, I wouldn’t even think twice, thanks again!

This was my first time using a dog sitter, so naturally I was pretty nervous about leaving my dog, Leo. However, all of those worries disappeared as soon as I dropped him off. Leo felt right at home from the start, which immediately gave me peace of mind. Enis was great about keeping me updated throughout the stay, and when I asked for a few extra photos and videos to ease my mind, he was more than happy to provide them. It was reassuring to know Leo was being well cared for and comfortable. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I wouldn't hesitate to book with Enis again. Highly recommended!
