1. Lauryn B.


“We were very anxious leaving Moose at doggy daycare because he is a very large anxious dog. Lauryn was wonderfully patient with Moose helping him settle in. She sent us photo updates so we were able to relax at our event . We will definitely Moose back !”


2. Yue M.


“Yue was a great dog sitter. I’d definitely hire her again. She sent many still photos and videos of our dog throughout the day. It was easy to communicate with her. She answered promptly and was very accommodating to our schedule. She walked our dog before we picked her up, so our dog would be able to sit for the long car ride home and not need to be relieved immediately. Yue was friendly and responsive.”


3. Kristina L.

“Kristina was so sweet, loving, and caring towards my little puppy! Her yard is so cute and spacious, perfect for dogs. Very communicative and reliable which is hard to find with Rover so I am so grateful for Kristina’s help! Thanks so much!”


4. Brandon J.

“Brandon was awesome! He sent me frequent updates during the day and kept my puppy as engaged and active as she could handle! I regret that I don’t live in the area or I’d use him for sits whenever I need one.”

“Antonio & Cynthia were lifesavers when i needed someone on short notice to watch Henri while my wife was at UCSD medical center! Highly recommended.”


6. Shrusti S.

“Shrusti was a fantastic and flexible caretaker for our dog, Arya. Our dog wasn’t feeling too well while staying with her, but Shrusti took it all in stride and didn’t once complain about any issues. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a compassionate and friendly person to watch their dog!”

“Ana was amazing and super flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, which made things so much easier for us! She provided a warm, safe, and fun environment for Coco, and kept me updated throughout the day. She took great care of Coco, and I could tell he felt happy and safe with her. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and accommodating sitter!”


10. Shauna M.
“I have the most amazing dog. And my dog loves Shauna. Shauna has cared for my dog on multiple occasions -- for as long as one week. I trust her completely with my dog. She cares for all dogs as if they were her own. She takes them on adventures, enjoys the snuggles and even sends me photos of my dog when we are apart. She is the best kind of caretaker. I would recommend her to everyone!”


11. Ryan M.

“Everything was excellent!💪 Thank you Ryan!😎”


12. Allison M.
“Allison was my roommate for years and remains one of my dog, Kai's, favorite people on this Earth. Kai appreciated cuddles and daytime walks with Allison when I had a long day at work, and spent many an adventure weekend with Allison whenever I was out of town. I have also watched Allison adopt many a friend or family's member pup into her heart and love them like her own. While I await the day she has a fur baby of her own, I know in the meantime she will provide the highest quality care for any dog needing a babysitting or an outing!”


13. Marta R.

“Marta was very accommodating to our last minute needs! She took great care of our dog, he had a great time! They went on multiple walks a day. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog with her :)”


14. Ana C.
“can’t recommend Ana enough! She has been walking my dog and staying overnight with him when I’m away, and she’s truly wonderful. From the very beginning, she showed so much care, responsibility, and genuine love for animals. My dog absolutely adores her—it’s clear they’ve built a special bond. She’s reliable, communicates regularly with updates and photos, and I always feel at ease knowing my pup is in such great hands. It’s hard to find someone you can fully trust with your pet and your home, but she has exceeded all expectations. I’m incredibly grateful for her and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, trustworthy, and professional pet sitter.”


15. Andrew M.
“As Andrew’s mother, I’ve had the joy of watching his love for animals grow from the time he was a little boy. His compassion and connection to animals has always been a part of who he is. Andrew doesn’t just walk dogs—he forms real bonds with them. He makes sure they’re safe, stimulated, and loved, whether it’s during a quick walk or an extended stay. As his mother, I always knew he was meant to care for animals. As his client, you’ll see it too.”


16. Christina N.

“Christina was super nice and accommodating. I can tell that my dog had a very peaceful and fun day with her :)”


17. Da Sol K.
“I genuinely recommend Da Sol as an exceptional dog walker and sitter, especially for fellow golden retriever lovers. Over the past years, she has consistently provided punctual and reliable care for my dog. Her professionalism in managing their needs, from walks to extended sitting, is top-notch. Da Sol's genuine kindness shines through in how she interacts with every dog. She possesses an incredible work ethic, always going the extra mile to ensure their happiness and well-being. My dogs are always thrilled and well-cared for after their time with her.”


18. Sandy C.

“Sandy and her family were so incredible with our boxer puppy. We took our children to Sea World and needed a full days care for our girl and Sandy was wonderful!! This was our first pet sitter experience and we are so grateful for the care she received.”


19. Dina and Joe G.

“Dina and Joe were both wonderful! They took care of my difficult furbabies! I have 2 anxious furbabies and they were both so good with them. I’m so glad I was able to find them.”


20. Jeffrey S.

“Super patient and kind to my super senior dog. Worked with me on scheduling and kept things flexible. Also gave me a really thoughtful gift of my dog’s paw print to remember my dog by. Would definitely book again!”
