“We are so happy that we have found Ariel. The videos she sent kept me feeling good because I could see them having fun! As Rover sitters ourselves, we really appreciated that she went above and beyond to make us feel relaxed about our pups being with her! Especially since we requested her service at the last minute and didn't have an opportunity to meet her prior to the boarding date. She sent ideos of them playing. Videos of them eating. And videos of them relaxing! That went a long way in makingme feel relaxed aboutthem beingwith her. ! She's the first sitter that operates as we do and I'm so thankful for it! We will definitely be back whenever we need a sitter! If you're looking for a dedicated sitter, Ariel is definitely the one!”
“Finding someone you trust to watch your dog is a big deal! Adrian was wonderful with Mica and sent many pictures where he looked very happy. The doggy playmates were wonderful for him. Adrian has an obvious love and compassion and it shows in Mica when he came home. We will be using her again.”
“Jessica was fantastic. She kept me updated with texts, vids, and photos, and Snickers had a great time with her son. I definitely recommend Jessica for your dog sitting needs.”
“Eduardo and family are once again amazing. A delight to speak with, great communication, genuine love for the dogs they take care of and I feel 100 comfortable leaving Gus in their care.”
“My dog Luna had a great time with Emilie. I know so because I received pictures and comments of how she was doing everyday. I felt total peace and no stress that she fit I with the pack and she was playing great with the other dogs, and she even got some pool time in because she loves the water. Thank you for taking great care of my little girl Luna. Sincerely, Paul Olivarez”
“Natalie was an exceptional dog sitter who went above and beyond. She kept me updated with adorable pictures of my furry baby and cared for him as if he were her own. I am deeply appreciative of her kindness and professionalism, and I will absolutely rely on her services again in the future.”
“Tich took such good care of my dog Kobe while we were on vacation! Kept me updated with photos the whole time! Tich is amazing! Definitely recommend🐾💙”
“I can’t recommend Johanne enough! My dog has stayed with her several times and always has a great experience. He’s a bit of a nervous pup, but he warmed up quickly to both Johanne and her sweet dog, Noel. Her calm, welcoming energy helped him feel right at home. She sends tons of pictures and videos, which always put me at ease. Plus, her fenced-in backyard is perfect for dogs to run and play safely. I’m so grateful we found her!”
“Karlee was the most amazing dog sitter! My dog completely fell in love with her! She was very caring, attentive, and sent me tons of pics and videos, which I loved! She’s amazing!”
“Maria is the perfect caring person with my little Dayssy...she was extremely sweet with my dog and took her out for walks also she sent me pictures daily...It is a trustful person ...defenitely recommended”
“Brenda is a wonderful host of pets. Despite my dog exhibiting bad behavior, she was a great resource in providing direction on how to correct said behavior. Her pets proved to be the perfect playmate for my dog. She provided regular pictures / updates throughout the visit to keep me informed.”
“I’ve been using Kathy for a few years now and couldn’t be happier! She is reliable, caring, and always goes above and beyond for my dogs. I always feel at ease knowing my pups are in such good hands. She always sends photos and the smile on their faces says it all. Highly recommend!”
“Maria and her husband were great at taking care of Zoey. They had great communication and Zoey felt right at home during her stay. I highly recommend them for taking care of your loved one.”
“Adam was communicative and flexible with drop off, and pick up. I appreciate he only allows one booking at a time. My dogs came home happy, and seemed they enjoyed themselves.”
“Banksy had wonderful time with Gregory. He sent plenty of pictures and updates. He was also so understanding of Banksy's medical needs. We look forward to using him again.”
“I will definitely be a returning client for as long as she will take my dog. Sandra sent me updates and pictures even though I didn't ask for any. She worked with my schedule, and her daughter kept my boy happy. I will definitely be back. Thank you Sandra.”
“Angela kept our furry guy for 5 days, and we could not have had a better experience. Angela kept in touch the whole time, sending pictures, a video, and reassurance that our dog was doing well. It was evident when we picked Jack up that he had bonded with Angela. Jack is a Rescue with several fear issues, so his fondness of her was absolute proof that Angela took superb care of him. She is wonderful.”
“This was my first time leaving my dog with someone and I truly mean I could not have found a better person to take care of her. Jordyn is everything you could ask for in a dog sitter. She kept me at ease the entire time and was very communicative. Her passion for animals is amazing and you should 100% leave your pet with her you will not regret it for a second.”

Five stars aren’t enough for Ariel. While we were on vacation, we experienced an unexpected death in our family and suddenly needed our senior dog boarded for an extra week. During an incredibly difficult and emotional time, Ariel stepped in with compassion, flexibility, and genuine care that went far beyond what we could have hoped for. Our senior dog was so well taken care of — Ariel made sure he received all of his medications, got regular exercise suited to his needs, and, most importantly, was surrounded by love. It brought us so much comfort knowing he was safe, happy, and even making new friends while we handled such a painful situation. We will be forever grateful for Ariel’s kindness, understanding, and the exceptional care she gave our dog when we needed it most. She is truly special, and we cannot recommend her highly enough.
Sam & Thaymar was AMAZING!!!! We were really anxious about leaving our little girl “with strangers.” In the past, for weekends she was boarded where she goes to daycare. Everyone knows her there because she’d been going since she was 3 months old. Everyone loves her there. For longer periods, she stayed with a friend who also knew her the same amount of time. This time was over a week. Being boarded for that long seemed too much for us. We wanted her in a home. We wanted her to have one on one interaction all the time. Sam & Thaymar took excellent care of our baby. Our picky eater ate when it was time to eat for them. She actually looked at them when they took pics of her. Something she did not often do for us. 🤷🏽♀️ We were updated constantly about her and got tons of pics. We highly recommend them. When we go away again, they are our go-to people’”. Sam and Thaymar are the best!!!
Edmonda is an amazing dog sitter! We left our Golden Retriever, Jax, with Edmonda for the week of Christmas holidays. She sent photos daily to show what Jax was up to and was easy to communicate with. She went above and beyond our expectations. We would trust Jax with Edmonda again for sure.
Angela is an amazing sitter. She consistently updated us with photos and took great care of our two dogs. I felt at ease on my vacation knowing that our dogs were well taken care of. We will be having Angela take care of our dogs during our future travels. We highly recommend her.
Finding someone you trust to watch your dog is a big deal! Adrian was wonderful with Mica and sent many pictures where he looked very happy. The doggy playmates were wonderful for him. Adrian has an obvious love and compassion and it shows in Mica when he came home. We will be using her again.
Angela was an amazing sitter for Hero. She got our pup super comfortable and relaxed with her in a very short amount of time and she was very communicative and prompt. Her place is also super safe and fun for dogs. Highly recommend Angela and will definitely work with her again the next time we are in town.
I always get nervous when finding a new sitter for Lady, but Devon made her first boarding experience completely stress-free. We did a meet-and-greet beforehand, and I instantly felt at ease — she’s warm, patient, and really attentive. Lady can be anxious and skittish, but Devon handled her with so much care. She sent pics and videos every day, and I could see Lady was relaxed, happy, and well cared for. When I picked her up, she looked calm and comfortable, not stressed at all. I’d 100% book with Devon again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, gentle, and caring sitter.
Nikki had a fantastic stay with Jaxon and his family. While she was happy to see me when I picked her up, she would have been happy to stay there. I interviewed 3 potential sitters as I was concerned and felt a little guilty about leaving Nikki for three weeks. I wanted to make sure that the sitter, their home and their pets would work for Nikki. Now I am confident that I chose the best match. Jaxon kept me updated on Nikki and even stepped in when my return flight to the US was cancelled. Now I know I can go away or leave Nikki for a day and she'll be delighted. I highly recommend Jaxon !
