“Stasha & her boyfriend were wonderful! It was our first time boarding our pup and I was very nervous. She kept us updated throughout the day, and communication was great. She would send pictures as well! We will definitely book with her again.”
“Our puppy was super happy staying with Jennifer! She’s above and beyond with communication and pic updates. She’s very good with dogs as well and our puppy came back calm & settled. Would def recommend / rebook! :)”
“Debra did a great job of making us and our dog, Skye, feel welcome. She sent us daily updates with pictures of Skye with her family or out taking walks. She was a last minute provider for us as our usual care person was not available for the dates we needed. She only keeps one guest dog at a time. Skye and her dog, Ginger, got along well.”
“Tracey was such a wonderful person to take care of our little boy, Benny, while we were out of town. She gave us daily updates and sent pictures and video to accompany the text messages. We will definitely check Tracey’s availability for the next time. I recommend Tracey to anyone looking for a responsible and caring dog sitter.”
“Was planning to go Florida with my wife and leave our little pup Thor with Wendy but some other things came up and we had to cancel last minute. Wendy was super great and professional and was kind enough to refund me for the days we had scheduled. We could tell our little Thor had fun his two days there because he didn’t want to leave. We will definitely”
“We left our dog Bo for the first time. Jatin worked very well with Bo. We were impressed with the reliability of the images Jatin sent of Bo throughout the day, and his interactions with the other pups. Jatin is responsive to questions and feedback, which we highly valued. We will book Jatin again. We finally have a home away from home for Bo when needed.”
“Vince is amazing. I would give 10 stars if I could. I cannot thank this man enough for taking on our huge puppy very last minute and dealing with our crazy schedule. He has been absolutely wonderful to work with ,Vince put our nerves at ease (being that it was the first time our puppy had been watched outside of our home and by a new person.) he was in constant contact with us, sent pictures and ,exercised him. Zeus has been living his best life. Will definitely being using him again.”
“My husky, Koda, had a fantastic time with Valentina & Stephen and their dog Luke. He ran and played in their gigantic, beautiful yard, got lots of attention and cuddles and was taken to the park and restaurants with them. They took excellent care of Koda I can't recommend Val and Stephen more highly. I've already booked another stay for Koda!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We are beyond grateful for the exceptional care Rikiya provided for our beloved Simba while we were away. From the very beginning, his kindness, professionalism, and genuine love for animals were evident. He treated Simba as if he were his own, giving him so much attention, care, and affection. What truly set him apart was the constant communication—sending thoughtful updates, pictures, and videos that gave us complete peace of mind and reassured us that Simba was happy, safe, and well loved. Coming home to a relaxed and joyful pet meant everything to us. We trust him wholeheartedly and will absolutely be leaving Simba with him again in the future. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone truly special to care for their pet.Thank you so much Rikiya ⭐️”
“Jeremy and Rosie watched my anxious pup while I was out of the country, and did an amazing job. They responded quickly, sent lots of updates, took him on nice walks on trails, and even gave him a bath without me asking. Otter came back very content, and had a great time in their care. Highly recommend, overall great experience with them.”
“I just wanted to give a huge shoutout to Yolanda for taking such amazing care of my dog while I was away! 🐾❤️ From the moment we met, I could tell my pup was in great hands. Yolanda was not only professional and reliable but also incredibly kind, patient, and loving with my dog. I got regular updates, adorable photos, and total peace of mind knowing my dog was happy, safe, and well cared for. It’s never easy leaving your pet behind, but Yolanda made it feel effortless. I came home to a calm, happy dog—and that says it all. If you're looking for someone trustworthy and genuinely passionate about animals, I can't recommend Yolanda enough!”
About: I’m basically the kind of person who will stop mid-conversation to say hi to a dog 😄 I genuinely love spending time with animals, and dogs tend to warm up to me pretty quickly—whether they’re playful, shy, or a little bit dramatic. What sets me apart is the energy I bring. I don’t just “watch” dogs—I hang out with them, play with them, and make sure they’re having a good time while you’re away. Whether it’s a long walk, a game of fetch, or just being a cozy couch buddy, I adapt to your dog’s personality and routine. I’m also super detail-oriented, so I’ll follow your instructions closely (meals, meds, quirks—you name it). And you’ll definitely get lots of updates and cute photos, because I know being away from your pet can be hard. I’m great with both high-energy pups who want to play all day and older dogs who just want a calm, gentle presence. Either way, your dog will be safe, happy, and probably a little spoiled 😊 I work from home, so I’m around pretty much all day to give your pet consistent attention and care. They won’t be left alone for long stretches, and I can easily stick to their routine—whether that’s regular walks, playtime breaks, or just being there for company. Having that flexibility means I can give pets lots of supervision, cuddles, and quick responses to their needs throughout the day. It’s perfect for dogs who need extra attention, are a little anxious, or just love having someone around. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take time to understand each pet’s routine so they feel relaxed and at home. In my home, pets enjoy a clean, calm space with a fully fenced backyard, daily secured leashed walks, and occasional park visits for extra fun and exercise. Since I work from home, they get constant supervision, attention, and plenty of cuddles. I’m always mindful about safety and provide regular updates so you can feel at ease.
“Brian was incredible taking care of my anxious little Velcro dog. He sent me thoughtful updates about his well being and I could tell he was well taken care of when I picked him up. My dog needed a calm caring environment and that’s exactly what Brian offered. Highly recommend his services 😊”
“Jen and her family were very kind and sweet enough to watch my two cats over the weekend. I appreciate their patience with them as they get a little shy and skiddish meeting new people or being in a new place. She sent me updates and photos of the two of them. Opie (my boy) definitely was more of the explorer and curious one around the house. Mew (my girl) was far more shy, so I appreciate Jen and her family giving her space to feel comfortable. She had a designated room for them but also allowed them to explore the house which they do love to be able to climb around. I would definitely come back to have them watch the cats! Thank you to all of you!”
“Where do I start? From the first contact Anusha has been honest, respectful and so responsible in taking care of my dog. Asked all the right questions and answered them all. Always quickly responded. Gave my dog all the love and attention that I wasn’t able to. Cared for my dog as if it was hers. Gave (almost) hourly updates. HIGHLY recommended!”
“It was my first time using Rover for our pup. Deepika offered a meet and greet a couple of days before the drop off and that really helped me feel comfortable leaving Leia with her. I received regular updates with videos and photos. It was so nice to see Leia happy, playful, and relaxed. Thank you so much for taking such good care of Leia; we will definitely be booking with Deepika again!”

I highly recommend Faith for anyone looking to care for their furry baby! My goldendoodle is very social and thrives on being around people. I was very happy to find someone who treated Kenny like their own. The communication was excellent and the daily updates showed my dog having a great time hanging around and going on walks. I will definitely use Faith to care for Kenny again.
I am very grateful for the wonderful care that my sweet elderly dog with dementia received during her stay with JD. My old girl was on her "last leg", however, we had planned a vacation to Disneyland with our granddaughter months ahead and could not disappoint her. My regular sitter would not take my dog who was becoming more and more difficult with the advancement of her dementia. Luckily JD was willing to board my dog. The first time he met our dog, he picked her up and held her. She just melted into his arms. That is when I knew that we could entrust our dog to his care. Everyday he sent pictures and reports on how she was doing. When she took a turn for the worse, he went above and beyond in making sure my dog was lovingly cared for. We were able to take our dog home and spend time with her before she passed. We cannot thank JD enough for his care of our dog.
We used Deepika for the weekend and couldn't be happier. Our dogs were safe, happy, and well-cared for. We especially appreciated the (frequent photo updates and communication). It was clear our doggies felt right at home. We will definitely be using Deepika again and highly recommend her services!
Not only was this our first time leaving our puppy, Winnie, but we needed to leave her because I was having some unexpected major surgery. Life landed a pretty stressful bundle and Jennifer took the stress away from Winnie needing care. She sent photos and updates that eased my mind and let me see the awesome time Winnie was having. Winnie came home, I swear, more patient and mature. Thank you Jennifer for giving Winnie a home away from home and hugs away from mine - so needed all around! You're a gem!
Tracy was incredible with Zoey and Re’al! From start to finish she was professional, attentive, and so loving with them. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in her care. They were happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. Five stars all the way — we’ll definitely be using her again!
