“Words can not express how awesome my fur babies were taken care of. The pictures and always updates on my fur baby’s was a great experience. I recommend David 1,000 times . By far he’s been the best .”
“John was great - Extremely responsive and kept me updated while my dog Ollie stayed with him. I gave so many instructions because Ollie has separation anxiety and John took them all very well. When I got Ollie back he was so calm and relaxed because John took such good care of him!”
“Betty had the best best time with Kiersten and Casey! They communicate quickly and clearly and send lots of photos and updates- which I really appreciated receiving. Betty is shy with new people but she seemed right at home with Kiersten and Casey. Would one thousand percent book them again!”
“She was incredibly communicative and understanding with my dog, which really put me at ease, especially since my dog can be a handful at times. She sent plenty of photos, and her home is cute, clean, and spacious. Shes well suited as a dog sitter and I’d definitely recommend her and would book again.”
“I really appreciated how communicative Lal was. She sent lots of photos and videos and it felt very reassuring. Lal is very kind and I know she put in great effort to make Jaz comfortable.”
“Sabrina took wonderful care of my dog. I had to book the boarding last minite, but Sabrina was very accommodating. She responded to my messages quickly and also kept sending me photos of how my dog was doing which gave me peace of mind. When I was picking him up, Sabrina explained in detail how he ate, slept, walked and behaved during the stay. This proved to me that Sabrina paid a lot of attention to my dog. Most dog sitters in my experience didn't share this much detail. I highly recommend Sabrina!”
“Our dog Chester loves Jelfri! It’s been his third time watching him and Chester feels right at home with Jelfri and his family. Great communication and frequent picture updates which we appreciate!”
“Michael & his wife did a great job at taking care of Ollie. Despite a hiccup on his last day, I think he had a great time being with them. A lot of photos were sent to me and my dog came home happy :)”
“My Cricket had a wonderful two-week stay at Jashalund's place. Cricket took to Jashalund right away during the meet and greet, and I could see the affection was mutual. As a bonus, Cricket had a built-in buddy in Jashalund's pup, Baldwin, who is the sweetest little guy ever. Through regular updates and photos and at pick-up, I could see Cricket was very well cared for and had bonded with both Jashalund and Baldwin. I enthusiastically recommend Jashalund if you want your pet pampered while you're away.🐾”
“I left my peach with Hannah for 4 days and she had the best time! Hannah was very thorough in her intro questions and considerate of Peach’s reactivity on leash. She spoiled Peach with so much love and care while I was away, giving me peace of mind. Highly recommend her for any dog sitting needs!”
“Adam was great with my cat, Griffin. It was obvious my cat was very happy and well taken care of. I wish that I knew Adam booked multiple animals - both dogs and cats - in his home at a time. That said, the dog he owns, Hermes, is awesome and super friendly; Griffin and Hermes were immediately friends. Adam was also very responsive. Will definitely book with Adam again!”
“Jay is incredible!! Our dog loves being there and I always feel at peace knowing she’s well taken care of. I really appreciate the updates and pictures. Beyond happy with our dog sitting experience.”
“Eva and Tyler were the best cat sitters! I left my cat with them for 6 nights. He got along great with their cat! Eva and Tyler provided many updates with pictures and videos the entire time and were extremely quick to respond to any texts. The provided a safe and loving environment for my cat and I felt so comfortable having him there! Will 100% be using them for any future cat sitter needs!”
“Susan took great care of Indy while I was away. I received frequent updates which helped keep me at ease while I was out of town. Susan was very diligent getting Indy’s food/ outside routine down. Thank you, Susan!”
“We are so thankful to have found Hawthorne and Wei to care for our sweet Mac while we spent time in NYC. Mac was well cared for and loved, Hawthorne and Wei went above and beyond to host Mac multiple times during our time in the city, the photo and video updates were exactly what this momma needed! Mac was in great hands, and your pup will be too!”
“I had the absolute best experience with Kylie and Kris! From the moment I dropped Lily off, I felt completely at ease. They were incredibly communicative and sent thoughtful daily updates with photos and little notes about how she was doing, which meant so much to me while I was away. It was clear she was truly pampered – she came home relaxed, happy, and so well looked after, which is the biggest testament to how wonderful they are. You can tell they genuinely love dogs and take their responsibility seriously. I would absolutely book with Kylie and Kris again in a heartbeat. Highly, highly recommend.”
“We left our 11-year-old terrier in good hands with Diane for eight days. She could not have been more caring or responsible. Diane sent us daily email updates, complete with photos of our pooch--who seemed happy and well cared for when we picked her up. A very, very good experience.”
“Yuan was amazing!!! I'm always nervous leaving my pup with someone new, but he ended up having a great experience with Yuan. She kept me updated with photos/videos and was otherwise fantastic to work with. I will definitely book with her again :)”
“Matthew and Maycon were tremendous. They were responsive, communicative, and kept me updated throughout Duncan’s stay. They were also incredibly understanding of my stress as a dog dad leaving his pup with sitters for the first time. I could tell Duncan was comfortable and well cared for, which meant so much to me. Matthew and Maycon were kind, competent, easy to work with, and I couldn’t recommend them enough.”

Vanessa was incredible! She was extremely communicative throughout the entire stay and sent us tons of pictures. It made being away so much easier knowing our pup was having a great time. I would recommend Vanessa to take care of anyone’s pet and will be using her again in the future!
WE LOVED SIARA!!! She took care of our pup for 15 days!!! The longest we’ve ever been away. And we couldn’t have been happier. She sent lots of ADORABLE photos with comments that showed what a great time our dog was having. We left the day after our pups birthday and Siara threw her a “birthday celebration” including toys that Velvet got to take home. The fact that she works at a vet hospital was so reassuring since our pet had just gotten over a stomach bug right before we left. Excited to plan more trips so we can use her again.
They were the absolute best. So communicative and sent me tons of pupdates to let me know how things were going. It’s clear they enjoy spending time with dogs and have experience with them. The best part is that they took my dog to the nearby park for some fun. It’s nice when rovers go out of their way to make your pets stay extra fun and special.
Michael was great! Ozzy stayed there for a few nights and seemed happy via the updates. He was in great health and seemed comfortable. Michael did a great job with making sure Ozzy adjusted appropriately, giving him his medication and going out of his way to make sure he ate his food as he acclimated. Appreciate the care!
Matthew and Maycon were tremendous. They were responsive, communicative, and kept me updated throughout Duncan’s stay. They were also incredibly understanding of my stress as a dog dad leaving his pup with sitters for the first time. I could tell Duncan was comfortable and well cared for, which meant so much to me. Matthew and Maycon were kind, competent, easy to work with, and I couldn’t recommend them enough.
