“This is an absolutely fantastic choice for a dog-sitter, in my mind. Leslie was loving, caring and she treated Frances, my terrier-dachshund with the closest and kindest attention—plenty of walks, balanced diet, happy human company to sleep with when she desired, and various places to rest—so Leslie passed those all those important measures.She also sent me photographs with comments fairly often, which delighted me and made me know that Frances was safe and happy! But then, of Great value was the fact that she always could find positive human companionship—her cousin came, and let Frances and another dog, sleep on his knee, looking utterly content, her roommate really liked Frances and showed it, and Leslie did too. AND there was always her dog, and then occasionally a neighbor’s dog or another client’s dog visiting for a number of hours. That was Heaven for Frances, and just what I was hoping for. A place where Frances could be, as Leslie put it, a member of a pack. NOT a large, in any way overwhelming pack, but a small pack, consisting of one or two or conceivably three other dogs, which she could be with. THAT and the essential human warmth which was very much present—was all I could dream of—and Leslie provided it. Thank you so, so much. I will definitely use her services again! Leslie is cause for peace of mind, great happiness and satisfaction for Frances and me.”
“We had a truly wonderful experience entrusting our 4-year-old cat, Mufasa, to Tatiana’s care. She provided thoughtful, attentive care and kept us updated with daily messages, which was incredibly reassuring. Knowing that Mufasa stayed comfortably at home, happily spending time with her beautiful cat Enzo, gave us great peace of mind. We highly recommend Tatiana to anyone looking for a caring and reliable cat sitter!”
“Just picked up Del from Andrew & his family - Del had a wonderful stay, and I felt very comfortable leaving him there and clearly both Del and Andrew & family got along so great! I am delighted with this connection and will gladly make more arrangements. Very attentive, friendly, interactive and responsible care, highly recommend! Many thanks Andrew and family!”
“I highly recommend Leslie! She clearly loves dogs, and took the time to get to know Scout. She kept him happy with lots plenty of walks and cuddling time. We received daily updates with photos and a video. I will definitely leave Scout with Leslie next time we need a sitter!”
“Nalleli and her family took wonderful care of our 15 yr old dog, Kiki. She was loved, had lots of cuddles and snacks and was very happy at Nalleli. I appreciate the care that Nalleli provided and look forward to booking her again to look after our pup when we’re away.”
“Karen is fabulous! Super organized! She took care of our 2 dogs all week and treated them like they were her own. They had tons of walks, snuggles & playtime. She kept us updated a few times per day every day to know how they were doing and sent us over 120 photos in a week (on average more than 10 per day). She truly deserves more than 5 stars.”
“John and Johanna were so wonderful with our sweet Teddy. He had such a fun time playing with Penny. I would absolutely recommend John and Johanna. They are so caring and interactive with the pets they care for. They sent many photos and videos as well as daily reports. I had such peace of mind leaving him with them for my wedding weekend.”
“Our dog has the best time going to Jennifer's house when we go out of town for the weekend. As soon as we pull up to her driveway he immediately knows where he is and gets so excited to go inside and play with her dog. You can tell her and her family are so warm with their pets. We feel good leaving our dog there knowing he is in great hands having the best time. Jennifer always is great about providing daily communication and pictures. We would recommend her to anyone looking for care for their pup”
“Omar and his family took such great care of my Bella while I was away. From the moment I dropped her off, I could tell she was in a warm, welcoming environment. She had a blast playing with the other dogs and soaking up all the attention they gave her. What really stood out was the communication. Omar kept me updated with messages, and pictures which made it so much easier being away from her. I could see she was happy, relaxed, and truly being cared for like one of their own. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again. Bella came home happy, and that says everything.”
“Derek and his family were wonderful with Jace. This was my first time ever using Rover for boarding my dog, and they made the experience so comfortable and easy. I received pictures and updates throughout the stay, letting me know he was doing well and having a good time. Will definitely have Jace stay with them again!”
“Kaylyn and Naman are great pet sitters! I highly recommend them. They took great care of our dog Alli, she was very happy and relaxed with them! They were attentive to her every need and always made sure she had walks and outside time. Alli had an eye problem and they took really excellent care of her. I would definitely trust your pets with them, they’re great!”
“Michelle did an excellent job taking care of our dog, Prince. She kept us updated with pictures, made sure he got plenty of walks, and gave him great care and attention. We felt completely at ease knowing Prince was in such capable and loving hands. Highly recommend her!”
“I'm so glad I found Amethyst ☺️ she was wonderful with my dog Q. She sent me regular photos of Q (I don't know how she made my dog sit still and be such a good model for photos haha but she managed well!) and updates and always made sure his needs were met. And she was also very flexible and accommodating about last minute changes I had to do cause another sitter canceled. But it's all good, since I was able to book with Amethyst ☺️ My Q had a really great time with her! Thank you! 10/10 recommended her 👌”
“Sujan was amazing! I have three large dogs, all of whom have different temperaments, including one who is a bit anxious when meeting new people or dogs. He cared for all of them so well, making sure they were comfortable and that they had an enjoyable experience. He sent frequent pictures. My pups came home clean and happy. I also loved the pick up and drop off service. Thank you!”
“Elena was great with my Bernese Mountain dog. He got lots of walks and attention, and Elena sent many photos and videos. Will be booking with Elena again as soon as I finish this review!”
“Awesome dog hosts My Lab’s first experience away from home could not have been with a better family. We really appreciate the care and kindness that Carla and her husband and family provided.”
“Peter took excellent care of our pup. He sent great photos, and it’s clear that Donny feels exceptionally comfortable around him. Drop off and pickup were easy. We will definitely be entrusting Donny’s care to Peter again. Thank you!!”

Omar and his family did an amazing job taking care of my furchild, I felt at ease knowing that he was cared for and loved on in my absence. I definitely plan on rebooking them in the near future. I’m pretty sure Gus wouldn’t mind coming back for a few day. Thanks again for being awesome.
Cesar watched our dog Monty for the weekend while we were away. He is such a nice man and is great with animals! He has the perfect fenced in back yard for doggies to run and play. Our dog was in a great mood when we picked him up! We're looking forward to booking with him again in the future.
Erica gave frequesnt updates about Mocha's activities and feeding/potty schedule throughout the day. I felt like Mocha was in great hands over the five days that she stayed with Erica. Erica also was very easy to communicate with, flexible, and responded to our last-minute request. Thank you so much!
We had a last minute cancellation with another sitter due to a family emergency, and Ksenia was gracious enough to have us book last minute. She was accommodating to my dog’s needs and provided great care to him. We’re super grateful for her help and recommend her to watch your pet!
Nalelli and Alvaro took wonderful care of our dog Ivy and were responsive to our last minute booking request. We received many many photos a day and reports on how she was doing. They and their daughters are wonderful dog sitter and we are booking with them again next month!
We’ve been using her for a couple years now and couldn’t be happier. Our dog Zara absolutely loves her, and it gives us real peace of mind whenever we travel. It’s such a relief being able to enjoy a vacation completely free of worry, knowing our dog is in good hands. Reliable, trustworthy, and clearly cares about the animals she watches…. highly recommend.
