5. Dina J.
“We have used Dina multiple times. She is great with the pups and I know they have a great time. They always come home exhausted. Dina also sends lots of pictures/ updates, which I really appreciate.”
6. Andrew C.
“Andy did a great job helping Nate feel at home. Nate got snacks he likes and outside breaks that were on his schedule. Andy sent a lot of updates with pictures. Besides the cute pictures, Andy sent me a picture that showed Nate feeling relaxed. Frankly, I was glad Nate still wanted to come home! Andy understands dogs, has an appreciation for the variety of normal dog behavior, and really does love dogs. His daughter also really loves dogs. Although I found Andy through Rover, a mutual friend confirmed that he’s a dog lover and would trust him with her dogs. Knowing that we had mutual friends was literally an answer to prayer. I would definitely trust this family with Nate again.”
7. Amy H.
“Our Bibi had the best time with Amy and Murray. We received lots of updates and photos. Amy treated Bibi like one of her own and we will definitely re-book with her, the next time we travel. If I could leave SIX STARS, I would.”
8. Tania Z.
“I am so thrilled to have found Tania. I felt so comfortable leaving my dog Bear with her while I was on vacation. She sent regular updates and pictures which I loved. During our meet and greet she made sure all of my questions were answered and was very professional. You can definitely see she cares so much about each dog she watches. I will definitely be taking Bear back to her whenever I can! Thank you!”
9. Shelby B.
“Shelby and her family are wonderful with animals and my dog always is excited to be headed to see them. I have had a difficult schedule and Shelby and her family have been incredibly flexible with me in order to provide my pup a place to stay. I will get pictures and videos of him with a big smile that brighten my day when I cannot be there to enjoy those moments. She has a lot of experience with animal and the home is in a great area of the city for walking, play, and adventures, which any dog could enjoy. It really is a bargain to take my dog over to stay with her family and am comforted and happy that I have a family and home I can trust so easily with my dog. I'd highly recommend bringing your dog over for a visit.”
10. Jennifer B.

“Communication and understanding and ability to accommodate on the fly was outstanding. Nova came back to me happy and relaxed. Would definitely recommend Brian to anyone and will definitely rebook.”
17. Anna-Wray G.
About: I have owned and cared for dogs, cats, and fish for my entire life! I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages and of various breeds, and I have experience administering medication as my childhood dog is diabetic. I currently own an adult orange tabby named Cheeseburger! 🍔 I am able to make drop-in visits/dog walks any day of the week! I choose to board pets only over weekends to ensure they get all the care and attention they need. I live in an apartment with no fence or large yard, so small pets, pets who can play inside, and low energy pets would definitely be comfortable there! I would feel more comfortable traveling to large pets and pets who need outside play.
18. Lauren S.
“Lauren is a dog lover and I am very pleased and happy with her taking a good care of my dog. She updated me everyday with photos of my dog and condition of my dog that made me felt comfortable and relaxed while I was gone from home. She is always smiling, kind and considerate for dogs. I would recommend her for anyone for needs a dog sitter. I surely will contact her again next time when we need one.”
19. Ashley R.
“Ashley was a great sitter for our golden retriever, Thor. She was very flexible and accommodating with our changing plans. It seemed like Thor had a great time and we would love to use her again!”
20. Frances S.
“Frances did an excellent job watching my puppy, Piper, for the night. She was very responsive and sent multiple pictures during the stay. They went on long walks and I could definitely tell that they played because Piper was wore out the rest of the night. I was hesitant to leave Piper as she is so young but Frances put my mind at ease and I will definitely book her again in the future!”
