“Lauryn is absolutely amazing!!! She saved our vacation after some issues with the place we were staying at. Our dog loved her! I will definitely be using her anytime we are in San Diego.”
“Yating took good care of my cat Sofi for the second time! It’s always reassuring to leave Sofi with someone she already knows and trusts, and Yating provided such thoughtful and attentive care again.”
“My little girl Megan and I got to meet Anna before hand and I knew instantly she would be a good fit. She’s experienced with dogs and I could tell how much she enjoys them. Anna offers a safe and comfortable environment and Megan was in good hands. During Megan’s stay, Anna regularly updated me with video clips and messages. Overall I couldn’t ask for a better sitter for my baby girl. Would definitely use her service again in the future and would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“Emily & Steven we're absolutely amazing! They were incredibly accommodating with any instructions we had for taking care of Messi and always provided us with regular status updates on how he was doing. Messi seemed to be very comfortable at their place and we will absolutely be reaching out again in the future :) could not recommend this family enough!”
“May took very good care of our senior dog during the a holidays. She was attentive and sent us great pictures during her stay. She is usually nervous and stressed when boarding, but was happy and not anxious at all when arriving home. She went easily back to her normal routines. We are very happy with the special care provided to her and will absolutely use their services again! Thank you!”
““We couldn’t have asked for a better experience for our dog Lola! From the moment we dropped her off, it was clear she was in loving, capable hands with Erion and Iris. Lola came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-cared for. We received updates and photos throughout, which gave us total peace of mind. We’ll absolutely be booking again and highly recommend!””
“He’s great! My dog Nova loved it there and looked so happy in all the pictures he sent. He played with her and even gave her some training. Was very responsive and very understanding.”
“Hands down my go to for pet sitting. Amazing communication and great pictures to keep your mind at ease while away. For sure will use in the future for pet sitting. 10 out of 10!”
“Kate was awesome! She provided photos and commentary on every aspect of their day. Quickly to respond and let us be flexible with pick up day when our flight was delayed, would definitely recommend and rebook with her in the future!”
“Nanako & Dustin were wonderful with my 18 year old geriatric dog! I received many updates thru out the day that allowed me to rest easy that he was happy and relaxed in his temporary home. The home was calm for him and he seemed completely at ease there; would not have happened at home with multiple dogs. I am so thankful that Nanako was super flexible as he is an early riser and woke extra early on the morning of Daylight Savings time very early; she handled him so well making sure he got his food and medication when needed with many walks mixed in. Thank you so much, I would definitely book with them again!”
“If you are on the fence— let this be your sign to book Apple!! She is absolutely wonderful. It was our first time using Rover, as our usual sitter moved away, and I was a bit nervous that I wasn’t going to find someone who I trusted. But when I first Apple, she immediately relieved that anxiety. My pups had so much fun and got so much love. We will be back!”
“The most amazing service i could ever have imagined! The best updated with photos and videos and they really fell in love with our dogs! Would use them again in a heartbeat! Very grateful!”
“Yue took wonderful care of my cat while he stayed with her over Thanksgiving. I was initially nervous about leaving him at someone else’s home, but Yue completely put my mind at ease. She was incredibly patient and accommodating, followed all of my instructions, and truly exceeded my expectations. She also kept me updated with pictures and videos throughout his stay, which I really appreciated. I couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter and would absolutely trust Yue again.”
“Excellent communication. Antonio and Cynthia helped pick up and dogsit my pup after my wedding ceremony. They were very timely and sent great photos of my dog. Very happy with their services!”
“Caterina took great care of our dog over a two week stat. We received lots of photos and updates which kept us at ease while we were traveling. At the same time, our dog got plenty of outdoor exercise and got along great with Caterina’s dogs. We highly recommend her as a dog sitter.”
“Alegra you are exceptional! Thank you for taking such great care of Cowboy! I could tell by the photos that he was having a great time hanging out with you. And the story about him herding the chickens was cracking us up!”
“Sully loves to spend time with Claire and Leo!! Claire provides updates and pictures daily. She is amazing. I can enjoy my trip knowing that Sully is in her care ❤️”

Noa was absolutely amazing with my 4 month old golden retriever puppy. Leaving a young puppy with someone can be stressful, but he made the entire experience super easy and reassuring. He was patient, attentive, and clearly cared about my dog like he was his own. My puppy came back happy, well cared for, and clearly got plenty of attention and love. Communication was great the whole time, and I felt very comfortable knowing my pup was in good hands. I would 100% trust Noa again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring to watch their dog.
Zachary was absolutely perfect with my dog! He was incredibly responsive and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that he genuinely cared about my dog’s well-being and made sure she was comfortable and happy. Communication was excellent from start to finish. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Zachary again and highly recommend him to anyone. One thing that really stood out happened after her stay. We walked by Zachary apartment building, and my dog immediately recognized it and seemed like she wanted to go back. It was obvious she felt safe, comfortable, and enjoyed her time there. Thank you Zachary!
Kenzie did such an amazing job! Riley is an anxious girl but Kenzie took her on a walk that very first night and it made her feel right at home. She is very attentive and communicative. Will definitely love to have Riley stay there again the next time we’re out of town
Terri and Peter were fantastic, they took great care of our dog Stella while we were away for two weeks. It was clear from the photos and updates that Stella felt right at home with them and was loved as if she were their own pet. They also went above and beyond to help find a solution for a flair up of her skin sensitivity issues while we were gone. Thank you Terri and Peter!
Kayla was absolutely amazing with Iris 💛 Iris went straight to her immediately, which honestly told me everything I needed to know. I received tons of updates, great communication throughout, and could tell Iris was genuinely happy and comfortable the entire time. Kayla was thoughtful, responsive, reliable, and clearly has a natural connection with animals. I felt completely at ease leaving Iris with her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone!
I highly recommend Danielle! She watched my 18-week-old puppy while he was dealing with a bout of diarrhea and wasn't feeling his best. Despite the extra work along with the puppy energy, Danielle was incredibly patient and had nothing but wonderful things to say about him. I could immediately tell he was well-loved and expertly cared for by his happy, relaxed mood when I picked him up. It is such a relief to find a sitter who is not only capable of managing medical mishaps but also truly enjoys the animals in her care. We will definitely be booking with Danielle again!
