Jocy was amazing! She gave the best updates throughout the day and took such amazing care of our fur baby. We loved all the pictures and videos, and the attention to detail to meet our pups’ needs was above and beyond. We will definitely use her services again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pawfect sitter. :)

Whitney was so great with our dog maya. She was on time for pick up and drop off and sent plenty of pics throughout the day. We felt that maya was taken care of and that made us feel at ease! Will definitely be using her services in the future. Highly recommend!

Araceli is fantastic. My dogs love being with her. She is always so responsive and she let me drop off the dogs two hours earlier than I initially asked for which was really helpful due to travel plans changing.

Michelle was great with our dog Trucky. At 2yo he still has a lot of puppy energy but really just wants to be loved on 24/7. Michelle kept us up to date with pictures and pick up and drop off went off without a hitch!

Ana is my go-to sitter in San Diego! My dog gets anxious away from home and Ana created a calm and welcoming environment. He’s also a picky eater but takes oral medication everyday. Ana was able to ensure he was taking his meds. It was such a relief having someone so wonderful and attentive watching him while I was away. I also appreciated all the communication—lots of photos and texts describing daily walks and activities and anything that was out of the normal. Can’t recommend Ana enough!

David was terrific and very communicative. Romeo had a great time staying over while we were out of town. David’s home is lovely and has a nice fenced in gravel yard with a deck, which is perfect for a labradoodle to stay clean. Romeo got along well with David’s dog, who is a sweetie.

I could not say enough great things about Shana! This was our first time leaving our puppy while on a trip and we were very anxious about it. Shana made sure we had all of our questions answered and sent constant updates about how she was doing. From what we saw Shana treated her like her own dog!

I honestly can’t say enough great things about Ziting. She was the most caring, communicative sitter I have ever come across on Rover. Murphy was with her for over a week and I received multiple pictures and updates every day throughout his stay. I felt extremely confident that he was well cared for and receiving plenty of love and attention. Her pup Zuzu is a sweet little angel and you can tell that she lives in a very loving, stable environment. Murphy absolutely loved staying with them and I highly recommend her services!

Shelby was absolutely amazing with our pup, Oakley! She had the best time and was so clearly loved and cared for all weekend. We got tons of updates, and it was obvious Oakley was getting plenty of attention, walks, and frisbee time. It gave us such peace of mind knowing she was treated like part of the family. We’d highly recommend Shelby to anyone and will definitely be booking with her again!
