“Nick and Cora! Such lovely people with good hearts! My puppy Rue enjoyed her stay in their lovely home. They sent pictures of Rue eating and walking and gave updates during her stay. Rue gets anxious when she is left alone and their home was the perfect place for her. They both took really good care of my puppy and it reflected when I picked Rue up on the last day! Will definitely re book with them in the future.”
“Tatiana was a GREAT sitter for our QT. She took a lot of care to administer medication and make sure QT felt at home and was comfortable during our trip. Sometimes she won't eat or get in a bad mood when we are away but with Tatiana and family she was very happy and eating like a horse. The communication and photos / videos were great. Overall I would highly recommend Tatiana to care for your pet. She is highly capable and goes the extra mile to make sure pets are happy and healthy.”
“Ivette was vey welcoming and kind to my little Charly. She had no issues tending to Charly meal routine aswell as his exercise needs. Charly was very happy when picking him up, which is always a very good sign that he had a good stay. Thank you and would 10/10 recommend to everyone”
“Artem was incredible! Our other Rover sitter fell through at the last minute, and he willingly took in our pup that same day, so we could catch our flight on time! He was very responsive, and it was clear that he kept a safe and structured environment for the dogs. I would highly recommend him and will definitely call on him the next time we need our dog boarded. Thank you again, Artem!”
“Elaine and her bf were the best! This was my first time using the app and was a little unsure about leaving my dog with a sitter. They both made me feel at ease by providing frequent updates, pictures and videos! I loved seeing my Luna play with the other dogs. I will definitely re-visit! Thank you again!”
“Narumi was excellent with Mina while in her care. She gave very detailed updates with pictures and videos. We felt very peace of mind with Narumi and will definitely contact her again when we need to board Mina.”
“Our experience with Ms. Jami and her mom was WONDERFUL. Our doggy Yoddah acclimated to her and her welcoming home immediately at our meet and greet. Jami was assuring, VERY nice and accommodating to our extended need for dog sitting! Jami sent pictures and a video showing Yoddah comfortable and happy! Our dog was pampered and enjoyed his stay. We will definitely be rebooking in the near future. We wish we could give 10 ⭐️'s❣️ Highly recommended. -theBookmans”
“Very kind and knowledgeable. Communicated by sending photos of pups and keeping posted about their interaction with other pups. I would work with Arriyanna again. Thank you so much for taking care of my babies!”
“Amazing experience! She took such great care of my dog and kept me updated with photos throughout the stay. I could tell my pup was happy and comfortable. Definitely would book again!”
“Quing was our very first sitter for our doggy after moving to SoCal from out of state. She sent updates multiple times a day and took such good care of our boy! We always felt great knowing our boy was in such great and loving hands. We will certainly be booking with her again next time we go out of town 😊”
“This was my first time using Rover. Jenny and family took good care of our doggie. I enjoyed getting pictures of him to see how he was doing. I will definitely be using her again. This was a great first experience.”
“This is the second time Shabnam has cared for Popcorn, and we couldn’t be happier. She is truly the sweetest dog sitter, treating him with so much love and attention. It gives me such peace of mind knowing he’s in her hands. Popcorn is always so happy and relaxed with her, like he’s part of her family. We feel so lucky to have found her.”
“My dog had the best boarding ever, Thanks Lori! She and her family gave my dog great attention and caring with love. My dog enjoyed playing with Ollie and other friends at her beautiful backyard and daily walks. She also sent me daily photos and messages, which made us feel at east and happy to see the cute pictures of running with new friends, playing fetch and cuddling. We felt completely safe and were able to enjoy our trip. We really appreciated. Lori is definitely dog lover, and we highly recommend!”
“She made me feel at ease with the updates I was very nervous leaving my dog in general and she kept sending updates and pictures. I will definitely be using her in the future she is the best!”
“Lissa was great. She treated our Zippy during his stay of 8 days like her own. The communication was great. I could tell that he was given lots of love from the pictures and texts. Highly recommended!”
“Kyle was amazing with my puppy Brody. He’s only four months old and I had to be away for the night. Kyle sent the cutest texts letting me know how much fun they were having and really put me at ease. I will definitely be using Kyle again.”

Elaine and Israel are phenomenal — we truly feel that sitters of this quality are rare. We are, without hesitation, 100% comfortable leaving our dog, Bond at Elaine’s, which has made planning our own travel so much less stressful. Bond absolutely LOVES going over and even seems disappointed when it’s time to leave. She treats him with so much love and it’s clear that he adores her! Things we love about Elaine and Israel: 1) meet and greet and thorough vaccine requirements assured that we were a good fit and it would be a safe environment for bond. 2) Amazing communication: they were very thorough in describing what Bond’s stay would look like and always take time to answer our questions. Lots of photo updates as well! 3) Bond gets to play with dogs that match his play style and also gets lots of time to rest. He comes home happy, content, and clean 4) they have clear expertise in caring for dogs and is very skilled in understanding dog behavior. As such, we know it’s not just fun for Bond, but also very safe. We could go on about how many things we love about Bond’s multiple stays here!
Nick and Cora! Such lovely people with good hearts! My puppy Rue enjoyed her stay in their lovely home. They sent pictures of Rue eating and walking and gave updates during her stay. Rue gets anxious when she is left alone and their home was the perfect place for her. They both took really good care of my puppy and it reflected when I picked Rue up on the last day! Will definitely re book with them in the future.
Ashley was amazing. My dog, Nipsey, had a great time at her house. After the initial meet and greet, my worries all left as I could tell she would be the perfect person for the job. She was super attentive and followed all directions. She provided medications as needed but most importantly she gave him tons of love. I highly recommend Ashley if you're looking for a trustworthy person with a great heart and love for animals.
I can’t recommend Katherine enough! From the moment I dropped off my Loki, I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such capable hands. Dobermans can be high-energy and require attentive care, and it was clear right away that they truly understood his needs. Throughout the stay, I received consistent updates, photos, and little notes that reassured me my dog was not only safe, but genuinely happy and comfortable. They went above and beyond with attention and affection—treating my dog like their own. When I picked my dog up, I could immediately tell how well they had been cared for. Loki was happy and clearly bonded with their Katherine . It’s not easy to find someone you trust with your pet, but this experience exceeded all my expectations. I will absolutely be booking with Katherine again. If you’re looking for someone reliable, communicative, and truly passionate about animals, this is the person you want!
Kristina and her husband took extra care and extra love of Toby during his stay over the weekend. It’s been awhile since I last booked with them again, and Toby still remembers them and their dogs!! I always rebook with them whenever I need to, and I am very appreciative they’re always available. Greatly recommend them to take care of your furry family!
Jiana was so incredibly warm and sweet! We could tell immediately that Nala was in such good hands. Jiana did a great job providing care and love for our baby! She checked in, sent photos, and followed care instructions. Our puppy is also in her first heat and Jiana did such an amazing job taking care of her diaper needs and instructions with other dogs. We would absolutely love to have Jiana watch Nala again and recommend her to all of our friends!
