Caroline was a gem! She was very accommodating of the last minute request and the way she wanted to do a short meet and greet prior to my dog’s stay, it felt very genuine of her to ensure her dogs and my dog had a good introduction. I was nervous about leaving my dog Berkeley for a week, but Caroline and her family really loved on Berkeley like their own and I really loved that she sent frequent photos, videos, and updates about how Berkeley was doing.

Veronica was fantastic! As an outdoor cat, finding someone who could care for Juno, with safety as the first priority, but also allow her to retain her sense of freedom and independence was always going to be a tough ask. We found that with Veronica - would highly recommend! Very kind, sent us lots of photos and even got Juno some special treats and toys.

Ninoska was our very first experience using Rover, and she absolutely set the bar high! From the moment we met her during the meet-and-greet, we felt at ease she was warm, informative, and so welcoming. We were nervous first-time puppy parents leaving our 15-week-old Lola for the first time, but Ninoska made the whole process smooth and stress-free. While we were away for 4 days, she sent us regular updates with adorable photos and videos of Lola playing and looking so happy. Lola clearly felt at home she even ate more than usual (I think she gained a healthy little pound!), and her tummy was doing great. Ninoska even shared some recipes and snack tips that worked wonders for Lola. Truly a 10/10 experience. Ninoska is not just a sitter she’s a puppy/dog whisperer, and we’re so lucky we found her. We love her and so does Lola!

Jenny was great with our dig, Riley. She asked lots of smart questions to be sure Riley was getting the best care and staying on his routine. She sent photos and was very accommodating when out flight delay resulted in a later than expected pick up. I highly recommend Jenny and will certainly call on her again.

They’re such warm, personable people who clearly adore dogs and treat them like family. Onyx was so happy and comfortable the whole time. I’ll definitely be booking with them again! 🤗

Thank you for looking after my dog Lexi over the weekend, you have such a great personality and wonderful atmosphere! I’m 100% satisfied with your service. You kept me updated with regular photos and messages, which is so reassuring. Lexi left happy and there were no issues during her stay. I recommend Yuberkis as a reliable dog sitter and will definitely use her services again in the future. Thank you so so much for taking such good care of Lexi! 🫶🏻

Wow! What an exceptional experience. Melanie was so lovely and attentive. Our large breed dog Jerome had major surgery so we reserved Melanie months in advance for Thanksgiving travel. She was super accommodating, visited Jerome prior to the reservation and invited us to visit her home to assure us he’d be in a secure space as he continued his healing. She regularly sent adorable photos of Jerome to show us he was content. Melanie is a GREAT caregiver, not just a dog sitter. She’ll always be our first choice in the future.

We had a last minute emergency occur 2 hours before leaving for our Christmas vacation and needed a sitter asap for our pup - we reached out and T responded almost immediately and took Ralphie in while we were away. Ralphie LOVED his time there! She took such great care of my baby in a pinch of time too. We are so thankful will definitely rebook.

Darien is everything we could ask for in a dog sitter. Our dogs always have so much fun from playing in their big, clean backyard and receive a lot of love from Darien and her family. After a fun day, my dogs always end their day sleeping peacefully and comfortably. Darien also somehow magically makes my dogs even more behaved than ever, and they always come home refreshed and happy. The dogs have deemed Darien’s home as their favorite vacation destination, and will always trust Darien with my dogs any time!

Veronica is absolutely incredible! She took such wonderful care of Tasha and truly went above and beyond. When Tasha was feeling a bit down and lost her appetite, Veronica didn't just ignore it—she actually went out and bought special food to encourage her to eat and spent extra time cheering her up. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the happiness and health of the pups she watches. Tasha came home happy and healthy. I would highly recommend Veronica to anyone!

I really appreciated the regular updates—she kept me informed and sent messages that gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was clear my dog was in great hands and being well cared for. If you’re considering booking with Danielle, don’t think twice—just book! Highly recommend her services.

Jestine was a life safer for accepting my last minute booking! She provided me with updates and pictures throughout the days my dog was there, which gave me a sense of relief since this was my first time leaving my dog with someone who is not family. She also gave me a coupon to try out The Farmers Dog, which I will be using. Jestine was super nice and easy to communicate with. I definitely will be using her services again for the future!

Diana was wonderful. She accepted the littles last minute when my vet tech referred her for senior care after a medical boarding when my work trip was unexpectedly extended. She provided a calm stable environment for my senior blind/deaf Yorkie and administered his medication effectively. Her photos showed both dogs happy and cared for and my Maltipoo probably would have preferred to stay with Diana when I picked them up! I highly recommend her, especially if your dog has special needs as she is caring and compassionate.

This was Milo’s second stay with Jullien, and he once again provided excellent care for him. Jullien kept us updated every day and sent us pics of Milo’s adventures, and he was once again very accommodating when our flight was delayed. We are so happy that we found Jullien. It’s so reassuring to know that your pet will be comfortable and happy while you’re away. +++++++++
