4. Perla C.


“Perla is FANTASTIC!! Fully exceeded all of my expectations, I've never seen my pup Bodhi so happy. He had a fun filled weekend of non-stop playing and hiking which was everything he needed to get his puppy energy out. He made so many friends and even went on his first pack walk which Perla handled expertly. She sent me so many updates throughout the day which totally put me at ease, and send the BEST pictures of Bodhi. Like honestly I couldn't even believe how good the pics were that she sent. Definitely getting one framed! Thanks so much Perla, Bodhi can't wait to come back :)”

Would use her again in a heartbeat!”

7. Sonish P.

“Thank you so much for taking such good care of Cody! From the initial meet-and-greet, it was very clear that Sonish LOVES dogs, so I knew Cody would be in good hands during my time away, especially considering this was the longest he's been away from home. Throughout my dog's 7-night stay, I received frequent updates and photos letting me know how he was doing. Cody had a wonderful time, and I'm sure he'll want to go back. Thanks again!”


8. Angel M.
About: I've taken care of pets for 10+ years. Before I knew about this awesome app, I dog sat on the side for friends, friends of friends, and family. I love sitting because it's fun and it's always so sweet and beautiful to take care of them. I am mostly ALWAYS AVAILABLE. I work from home currently. I have a very flexible schedule, I am able to take them to pee as often as they need. I am able to feed them as often as they need. They also will have a warm and comfy house to stay at where they will be treated as if they were my own. I do what is asked of me especially any special requests for your pet. I am very open and will do anything I need to keep your pets safe and make sure I am doing everything the owners ask. I have a gated balcony so they can also enjoy fresh air in between potty breaks.

“Our dogs had a wonderful time with Kerstin. She had excellent communication before and during the stay. Cooper and Zoey stayed 3 nights and were well taken care of.

11. Yeon yi K.

“Lissa took great care of our doodle Bunsen. We received daily updates, including photos and videos letting us know how she was doing.

17. Dongwoo & Sun Kyung S.
“I recommend Marco and Sun Kyung to anyone looking for loving and reliable pet caregivers. First of all, they are well-prepared pet caregivers, having a clean and safe house that’s thoughtfully set up with every detail in mind—what dogs need, what to avoid, and how to make them feel completely at ease. They also make sure to dedicate plenty of quality time to each pet. They also have an amazing cozy spot for pups - sunny, secure, and even popular with neighboring dogs who stop by to hang out. Most importantly, what truly sets Marco and Sun Kyung apart is how much they love dogs—it shows in everything they do. They’re approachable, attentive, and full of energy, giving each dog personalized care with lots of walks, playtime, and affection. I always feel completely at ease knowing that any dog in their care is safe, happy, and truly loved.”

“Ivonne was very well organized and took really great care of of our fur baby. Very responsive and responsible. Highly recommend the caring dog sitter.”


19. Luis O.
“Luis Ornelas is a great person to be around, he is a animal lover to the core. I left my baby darla with him which is my dog and i swear she came back talking. But in all reality my baby loves going with him he is a great dog sitter and i trust him with my fur baby”


20. Natalie B.


“Natalie was great! We needed a last minute sitter and she was able to accommodate our two pups, two medium sized dogs with one being high energy. Her house and yard are clean and organized. We will definitely be back!”
