“Cerita is a gem! So kind, so sweet and her house is great for pups that enjoy socializing with other pups and has a nice indoor/outdoor vibe for the pups to have some level of autonomy and freedom which is amazing. We would highly recommend and will use her if we come to SD again”
“Ami watched my pup over the Thanksgiving Holiday, and took wonderful care of him! She sent me photos daily, and he looked happy and relaxed the whole time… thank you, Ami!”
“Marwa was great with our rescue corgi. We were apprehensive about leaving our dog with a sitter so soon after adopting her, but as soon as we met Marwa our anxieties were eased. She was great about providing us photos, videos, and updates about our sweet girl. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again for our pet sitting needs.”
“Cristina and her family are the best! We have done day care but now have also left our lil man with her for 3 nights while we were out of town. Today we sat talked and our baby was happy and excited to see us and also so happy with where he stayed. She is the only one for our family!!”
“I would highly recommend Gwendolyn and her family. Coco has stayed with them a couple of times and we could not have been happier. Gwendolyn kept us regularly updated on how Coco was and what they were getting up to. Coco came home a very happy dog!”
“What a blessing it was for us to leave our Vito in Katelyn and Paul’s hands. Not only did he enjoy a relaxing little oasis in their yard, but he also got his beloved daily walks. We received adorable updates every day, which gave us so much peace of mind while being far away on a work trip. Thank you both for being such wonderful Rover partners — we’re truly grateful🙏🫶”
“Whitney is amazing! This was the first time we've left our dog with someone we didn't know and she made us feel so comfortable with pictures and updates. Our dog is a diabetic and requires meals at a certain schedule and insulin shots. Whitney was there for his every need with enthusiasm. We highly recommend her to anyone!”
“We’ve booked Bill and Todd like a dozen times now and they’re so awesome. Highly recommend them, it’s worth the extra couple of dollars for piece of mind that our fur babies are in good hands.”
“My dog Mele recently spent 10 days or so with Madison and Moses. They regularly sent me photos of her, sometimes playing with other dogs. She seemed happy and healthy when I picked her up.”
“Alanna and her family kept Brandy safe and warm. They have provided her the time and attention she needed and more. I also appreciate the daily updates. It made us feel connected to our lil Brandy while we were away.”
“Benny immediately gravitated towards Nick and we knew it was a good match. Nick expressed his love of dogs and it showed with the care he provided Benny. Nick was very attentive and kept us updated with Benny very frequently, providing pictures and videos of Benny enjoying his time with Nick. We also appreciated the feedback that Nick provided at the end of Benny's stay with Nick. Overall we are extremely happy with Nick and look forward to having Benny under his care in the future.”
“Erika was a wonderful caretaker for my fur baby. She sent updates and pictures every single day. My dog looked so relaxed and happy at her place! I can tell he had a great time with her doggie too. I absolutely recommend Erika, and I’ll look no further when I travel again. Thank you so much Erika! 🌸🌸🌸”
“Pilar was awesome. She made my baby feel so at home he didn't want to leave when I went to pick him up. She updated me on how he was doing and sent pictures as well. I will book again with her.”
“Trent and his family took great care of our 2-year old dog for 2 weeks over the holidays. Our dog is very social and active, so it was great that they have 2 dogs of their own to play with and a great little dog park just a few yards away. Our dog was not crate-trained, so we also appreciated the flexibility they showed in boarding her. Pickup/dropoff and communication was great, including photos and videos. Thanks!”
“Terri is a true animal lover. She cared for my dog Lucy over the weekend. She took Lucy for plenty of walks and even took her to the lake a couple times. Baked her some dog treats and even sent her home with a batch. Plenty of pictures. We are very pleased.”
“Kaitlin & Verle took amazing care of our dog Punky. She clearly loves it there, and they are very attentive, caring, and communicative--can't recommend highly enough!”
“Josh is great. I feel like he spends quality time with my dog. He gives Diego the attention he needs on top of being a true dog whisperer. I honestly don’t think anyone else could compare to him. He just understands dogs. And—I think Diego really misses him!”

We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! We were away for a full week, and knowing our dog can be a bit anxious and nervous when we’re gone, it meant so much to have someone who treated him with such patience, kindness, and care. They kept us updated every day with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind and let us truly enjoy our trip knowing he was in great hands. It was clear from the updates that he was happy, comfortable, and getting lots of love and attention. We came home to a relaxed, well-cared-for pup, and we are incredibly grateful. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and attentive pet sitter. We would absolutely book with them again!
Rachel and Max are the best!! We dropped off our dog to stay with them for about a week, which was the longest she’s ever stayed with someone else. It went fantastic!! My dog is in love with them (especially max it sounds like!!) and they treated her like she was their own pet. Rachel and max were willing to do an overnight trial run a few weeks before to get our dog comfortable, and she felt right at home during the longer stay!! Thank you guys!!!
We're so grateful to have found Linda to care for our Bodhi. She's so loving and sweet with him, and we know that his every need is being tended to. We love the photos and updates that she sends, and the fact that he cries when it's time to go home shows us that he loves her right back!
From the time we stop my pup literally pulls me up the stairs to her apartment. To see how excited he is to see her shows me how much she cares for him. It warms my heart that someone truly cares for him just as much as I do. Ana is truly the best at what she does. Your furry pet is going to be well taken care of.
I cannot be more thankful or grateful to how well Cassandra took care of our dog Xena. She was communicative all weekend long sent us pictures and updates and kept our minds at ease knowing Xena was so well taken care of. I give Cassandra the highest recommendation possible and can’t wait to book her again in the future. Thank you so much
From the moment I reached out to the meet & greet and then dropping off my sweet boy, Adrian was very responsive, welcoming and made Cosmic feel right at home. She was in constant communication with me and sent me pictures and videos frequently to show just how well Cosmic adjusted as he is a shy dog at first. Cosmic can’t wait to be back playing with his new dog pals and he even made friends with her family. I highly recommend Adrian!
Dawn was really wonderful with our dogs and they had such a great stay. Dawn has a great backyard that I know our pups took advantage of, they slept for two straight days after coming home! She was really accommodating when we had to change times, which was so appreciated.
