“My doggy loved staying with Dakshayani and her pup! My boy got plenty of walks and spent a wonderful time at the apartment dog park where he played with other friends. My pup loves to spend time in all the comfy places, so he really loved being able to cuddle on the couch here. Thanks for the great care and pics :)”


“Ophelie is wonderful. She has done day care as well as boarding of our pup. Skipper is always so excited to visit Ophelie and family, including their dog Ravi. Skipper is much smaller than Ravi but they run and run and play in the backyard, and rest on the couch, and Skipper sits in Ophelie's lap and gives her kisses. Ophelie sends us the best photos. We look forward to Ophelie caring for Skipper in the future!!!!!”


“Dylan was absolutely amazing. Very accommodating, kind and I could tell our baby got a lot of loving throughout the day. He provided pics and updates every couple of hours which was great too. We felt very safe and at ease with him. Thanks again!”


“Xiaofang is amazing. Sunny is usually very nervous around new places, and I was worried he wouldn't do well, especially since it was the first time he stayed with someone else on Rover since being adopted. However, within hours of dropping him off with Xiaofang, I was receiving pictures, videos, and updates. Xiaofang is caring, compassionate, and truly dedicated. Sunny had a wonderful stay with her, and I would highly recommend Xiaofang”

Danny B.
“I can’t say enough good things about Danny and the amazing care they provided for my dog, Kane. The first time I entrusted Kane to them was for a week-long vacation to Mexico, and it was such a relief to know Kane was in such capable and loving hands. Then, unexpectedly, I had to travel to New York for two weeks due to a death in the family. Danny stepped up without hesitation, providing Kane with a safe, loving, and fun environment during such a difficult time for me. They kept me updated with photos and messages, making sure I knew Kane was happy and well-cared for. The best part? Kane absolutely adores Danny and Phoebe, his Labradoodle! He misses them so much that I have to bring him by for visits just so he can play with his favorite buddy again. It’s clear they treated Kane like one of their own, and I can’t thank them enough for the genuine care and kindness they’ve shown. I highly recommend Danny to anyone looking for a responsible and compassionate pet sitter. They’re truly the best!”
