“Michael was very easy going and it’s apparent that he loves caring for the dogs. ZuZu has a great stay at his place. He took walks every day with ZuZu and played with her. I’m confident that we will use his care again in the future.”
“Tracy and her husband were great with my dog, Ocean! He stayed with them for a week, and they sent photos every day with updates on how he was doing and he had a great time :)”
“Meerim and her partner were absolutely amazing dog sitters for my family’s 9 year old dog! She handled our dog’s reactive tendencies around other dogs like a pro and was incredibly prompt in responding and sending pics throughout the stay. Our dog was very happy and comfortable with Meerim due to her attentive, gentle, and loving nature - I would readily recommend Meerim to anyone looking for the best pet care around and we will definitely happily rebook!”
“We had a last minute trip and Crystal was a lifesaver. She was incredibly flexible and responsive. She did a meet and greet with our dog the day I reached out to her and she and our dog were instant friends. She was also able to accommodate our last minute flight changes. Our dog enjoyed his stay. We recommend Crystal highly!”
“Our dog had a great time with Jennifer; I think she was a little bit disappointed that she had to leave. She’s a senior dog and Jennifer made sure she got all her medications. Highly recommended!”
“Alexis and Julie were amazing! It was one of our first times using rover and they were so accommodating and sent us lots of happy pics of our dog. Our dog can be anxious but seemed very comfortable with them by the end of the stay!”
“Jennifer was very communicative and great!! My dogs had a great time with her. My solar powered chihuahuas especially loved her fenced patio! Will definitely be booking with Jennifer again. Thanks!”
“Svetlana was great! Our dog was loved and cared for, and I would not hesitate to leave her again in such good hands. I appreciated the daily updates and pictures of walks, play, and lounging at home. Svetlana was super responsive to all of my questions and was such a nice person to interact with. The overall experience was fantastic.”
“Jessica is amazing! She took Snow on fun adventures all weekend long, and she updated me every night with pictures and a recap of the day. I could tell that he was well-loved throughout his stay and got to play to his heart’s content. She was also very responsive in setting up a meet and greet and flexible with drop off/ pickup times. Thank you Jessica, we’ll see you again!”
“Joy was both skillful and easygoing when we left our dog Lila with her and her family. I got photos of Lila snuggling on the sofa, and Joy had a great outdoor space for her dogs and mine to play.”
“Wow! We felt so secure having Daniel dog-sit for us. He sent us regular updates with photos and took her on really nice long walks. Would definitely recommend. We will definitely be seeking his services again in the future.”
“This is Indy's second time with Kenny., and she had a great experience. Kenny, his daughter, and their sweet dog, Rainbow, gave her lots of love and attention, and she had a wonderful time. Kenny is a great communicator and shared updates, photos, and videos. We'll definitely come back in the future!”
“Manli was our first experience with Rover. We were concerned with leaving our dog with someone we didn’t really know. Manli was kind enough to meet with us and explain how she would care for our dog. This was very reassuring. Manli provided daily photos of our dog and we could see she was ok and making new friends. We are still traveling and our dog is with friends. She is doing fine. We will be able to talk to Manli in a few days. We are happy that our dog was cared for and made friends.”
“Would 100% recommend and come back. The entire family love my puppy genuinely. My puppy has never looked this happy after boarding. They takes very good care of Skipper and gives me lots of updates.”
About: I’ve taken care of my own pets and other animals since I was a child. I was brought up loving animals and everyone in the family has pets. I brought home my first dog from my aunt’s house when I was 9, and he became my best friend and lived to 12 years old. I’m a proud auntie to my sister’s Shiba Inu and have helped raise her since she was a puppy. I hope to meet your best friend soon. I’m home all days of the week so your pet will never be without care and attention except when I step out for a brief errand. I live in a spacious apartment in a safe neighborhood with walkable streets. When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved with plenty of cuddles, playtime, and walks throughout the day.
About: I’ve taken care of pets for two years, it’s been a fun experience. I get to meet new pets and make them feel like home. I’m currently working from home, that gives me enough time for your pups and cats. I’m available for morning walks on weekdays 9am I live in a area where pups like to run, my home is a safe place as well where they are taken care of as if they are mine
“Mora is the best dog sitter we’ve ever had! She treated our dogs like family. Took them to parks and on hikes. They came back home very happy and well taken care of. Mora also sent many pictures and also gave our dogs lots of affection. Bonus is she has a fenced in backyard. We will definitely be calling Mora again!”
“Smitha was amazing with Roo! She can be a very anxious pup, so Smitha even scheduled a meetup time beforehand to get Roo introduced. This was our first time hiring a sitter that wasn’t a family member/friend, so even we were nervous, but she made Roo feel very comfortable. When we went to pick her up, she even gave Smitha a hug goodbye! I could tell she enjoyed her time there”
“Millie loved her stay with Yunxi again! Our puppy gets tons of walks, playtime and snuggle time. Yunxi sent plenty of photos and video so we could see how Millie was doing. We will be having Millie over again!”

Kenny was astounding. I couldn’t recommend him more. He was fantastic about sending updates and responding to messages. He really brought my dog into his family and looked after him incredibly well. It gave me tremendous peace of mind while I was away and I’ll definitely have my pup stay with him again in the future!
Ahmyah was great with Bingo! This was the first time I’ve had to leave him for an extended period of time so I was a bit nervous. Ahmyah was super accommodating and flexible with setting up a meet and greet before hand. I could tell Bingo had a really nice time with her which is such a relief for a pet parent. Would definitely work with her again in the future.
Cynthia was fantastic! She took such great care of my dogs and kept me updated throughout their stay with photos, which I really appreciated. My flight ended up being delayed, and I was running late, but she was incredibly accommodating and understanding, which made a stressful situation much easier. It was clear she showed my pets a lot of love and attention while they were with her. I’d absolutely trust her again and will definitely be booking with her for my future dog care needs.
Svetlana was great! Our dog was loved and cared for, and I would not hesitate to leave her again in such good hands. I appreciated the daily updates and pictures of walks, play, and lounging at home. Svetlana was super responsive to all of my questions and was such a nice person to interact with. The overall experience was fantastic.
We had a great experience! Jennifer cared for our dog for 10 days and was consistently responsive and easy to communicate with. She clearly took great care of our dog, and we could tell our dog was happy and comfortable. We would definitely trust her again and highly recommend her.🙏👌
I highly recommend Daniela as a dog sitter. She watched my dog, Poppy, it was the first time I left my puppy and I was very nervous. We had a great a experience! It was so clear from the start that she truly loves animals; she didn't just stick to a schedule but really took the time to get to know Poppy’s personality and quirks. I felt so much better being away because Daniela kept me updated with constant messages and the cutest photos of Poppy playing and happy. Daniela was professional, reliable, and incredibly kind. When I finally picked Poppy up, she was happy and well-cared for, which is the best peace of mind a pet owner can have. I’d trust Daniela with Poppy again in a heartbeat!
Cholpon is absolutely fantastic. She treated Bodie like a king, taking him on many hiking and walking adventures, feeding him better than we do, and showing him lots of affection. She send great updates everyday, with multiple photos and videos. We were almost afraid Bodie wouldn't want to rejoin our family when we picked him up!
Jessica is truly amazing and left me fully at ease leaving Howie in her care. She is a sweet, kind and caring person and genuinely cared for my dog beyond expectation! I could tell Howie felt comfortable with her from the get go, and could tell even more that he was getting attached by the end of my trip. Howie would love to see Jessica again in the future ❤️
Once again, Bethany has come through for Paco and loved him as he was her own. Had to go on an emergency travel for a funeral and she happily accepted the short notice. While my dog is currently special needs, no task was too big for Beth to handle. I look forward to booking her more frequently.
