“Kelly helped us at the last minute, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Great communication. She and Connor seemed to really love Pretzel. And Jeezy is an awesome laidback dog.”


“Both were so kind and welcoming! My dog Callie felt comfortable and really appreciated that they had a cozy spot just for her and let her roam the house. I would recommend and book again!”


“When you move to a new city trying to find a reliable caretaker for your pup can be stressful. With Asher I got lucky right out of the gate. Rover is a great side gig but when you find someone who goes beyond that it’s a blessing. Asher was fast to reply, super accommodating, and def a new friend for my pup and I. He has a great set up so your furry friend will not only be taken care of he will be cared for as one of their own. You can trust your pup or pups will not only be cared for but will also be loved on! Huge relief to know I have found a reliable place for my pup. Huge shout out to Asher as well for being able to take my pup on short notice!”


“Eric was an awesome sitter! He took our dog out often, kept him entertained, and even took professional photos of him. We are pleased with his clean environment and the care he’s shown towards Maurice. Eric replies quickly and gives updates throughout the day. I’d highly recommend him!!”


“They were so great! Their whole family was so excited to watch my dog and it was great knowing they had young kids to play with Izzy. I’ve already booked them again and will continue to do so!!”

“Angie took great care of our pup! We felt very comfortable leaving our dog with her and her family. Her home is very clean and safe. She is very responisve and sent updates during our dog’s stay. I would definitely recommend Angie and know our dog will be very excited to return to her home. Thanks so much, Angie!”


“The best price of mind you can have when you are away is leaving your dogs in Alex’s care. She truly loves your pets are her own. I love all the updates and pictures she sends. Definitely the best choice in the valley!”


“Tracy is the sweetest and you can tell that she absolutely loves dogs! She took care of my dog (Mr. Waffles) on super short notice and he had a wonderful time. Tracy is great at responding quickly and it eased my separation anxiety knowing that Mr. Waffles was being well cared for.”


“I couldn’t be more grateful to have Elena watch my dog, Bentley. I had a last minute vacation where I needed someone to watch Bentley and she was incredibly accommodating and helpful. She sent lots of photos throughout the time she was watching him and I could tell he had a great time with her. I would absolutely recommend booking Elena and look forward to her watching Bentley for future vacations!”



“Kelly was more than I could hope for to watch my dogs who have never been away from home before. She was very attentive and sent me pictures and videos throughout their time with her, which gave me comfort in knowing they were in good hands. I would recommend Kelly to anyone needing pet care.”



“Macy was in great care and Pamela kept in contact with me over concerns about Macy not feeling well. Macy ended up being fine, but her communication with what was going on was much appreciated! Would definitely love to bring Macy back.”


“Our pup LOVED her stay. She was tired and super happy when we picked her up. Great communication, we got lots of pictures and she had lots of room to run and plenty of playmates. She was super comfortable here. We will definitely make use of these lovely sitters again!”


“Dallas was really great! He kept me updated and sent pictures to keep me at east as this was the first time using rover. Definitely recommend him and will be using him again in the future!”


“Huaqing was amazing! She took great care of our 2 golden retrievers while we were out of town for a long weekend. This was my first time leaving them with someone new and she made the experience so seamless for me. They were so happy to be with her and all of the updates she gave were great. We’ll definitely be using her again in the future!”


“Alicia is fantastic!! She took great care of Cooper. Cooper requires some extra care and she was great with everything that he needed. Will definitely use her services again. Would highly recommend her.”



“I had my trip to China for one month and left my 6-pound Yorkie with Catherine. She is very nice, constantly gave me updates and new photos, and my dog had a great time there. My dog is usually scared of new environments or being around with other dogs, but he had a great time here and played well with Bones and Gigi. I will definitely come back in the future. Highly recommend!”



“My boy loved staying at Julia’s! He had friends to play with and keep him occupied all day every day and had so much fun. He was content and worn out for days later, and this guy is very high energy! Julia was very easy to communicate with and kept us updated daily. Would definitely use her again in the future- thank you Julia!”


“Took Sedona on very short notice and sent me updated pictures of her while I was gone. She was kind enough to make me aware (bc I didn’t know) that my dog was not okay around cats after a minor incident. She was easy to communicate with and loved on Sedona while I was gone. Would use her again.”


“I cannot thank YLexus and Heather enough for taking such incredible care of my Great Dane while I was away for my nephew’s military graduation. From the moment we met at the initial meeting, I could tell they were kind, professional, and genuinely cared about my dog. The drop-off was seamless, and I felt completely at ease leaving my gentle giant in their hands. 😍 Throughout my trip, YLexus and Heather kept me in the loop with updates, photos, and messages, which truly gave me peace of mind while I was hundreds of miles away. It was so reassuring to know that my pup was in such loving and capable hands. 🫶🏽 If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND these lovely ladies! They went above and beyond, and I couldn’t be more grateful. 🐶🐾”


“Sai was so great with Patti! This was my first time using this service and had never left Patti with a sitter before. Sai went above and beyond to make sure me and my fur baby were comfortable. He met with us before the visit and was very generous about showing us around and talking us through his plan. He shared pictures every day and updates on how the dogs were getting along since I was nervous about that. He walked them multiple times a day. Patti is in early stages of training, and Sai was incredibly patient with her and reassuring to me. He also shared the food he was giving his dog Sokka (who is a beautiful sweet boy), but was always checking and asking permission before doing anything like that. Lastly, Sai even called and coordinated with Patti’s trainer for just in case! So happy with Sai and Sokka and will definitely be booking again. Patti had a great time!”

Alyssa was wonderful with my dog Lena. I recently adopted Lena and Alyssa worked with her on her behavior and training. She treated Lena like part of the family and sent daily pictures and updates. She responded quickly to my questions and check ins. Alyssa and her dogs went on daily walks with Lena and she took great care of Lena. Alyssa is awesome!!

Angela and the family took such great care of Nova while I was away. It’s hard for me to leave her but they provided lots of fun pictures that made my day throughout the stay, and it is obvious that she was in great hands. I would highly recommend them to others and am excited to have someone I can trust to watch and spoil her while I’m on vacation!

Bill is incredible! We also grateful that we found him! He took such excellent care of our dog, giving her lots of love, all the daily exercise our active girl desires and managing her picky eating habits. Payton can be anxious around new people however Bill had a way of making her feel instantly comfortable and at ease! He truly treats your dog as if it is his own! I would 100% recommend him!

We recently moved to the area and this was our first time leaving the boys and I’m so glad we found YLexus and Heather! Our boys had such a good time and weren’t even excited to see my husband when he went to pick them up. YLexus and Heather were easy to work with, gave great updates while we were gone and were very easygoing and flexible when our pick up time changed. Would highly recommend and will definitely use in the future!

I had my trip to China for one month and left my 6-pound Yorkie with Catherine. She is very nice, constantly gave me updates and new photos, and my dog had a great time there. My dog is usually scared of new environments or being around with other dogs, but he had a great time here and played well with Bones and Gigi. I will definitely come back in the future. Highly recommend!

Briana took care of our 2 dogs (ages 9 and 14) for a week. It’s always nerve wracking to leave them at a sitter’s house. She did great with them and showed a patience when needed. I recommend her for sure, and if the opportunity arises, I will book with her again.

My husband and I had to find a baby sitter for a day because we had a day-long event and wanted our pups taken care of since we would be out for so long. I found Huaqing and her profile checked all of our boxes. We have a 3 year old Pomeranian and a 4 month old Rottweiler, and she took the greatest care of them! She sent us so many pictures throughout the day of their walk breaks and them playing, and it gave me such relief to know our babies were having a great time! When we picked them up they slept right away because I know they had a blast and saw/ sniffed so many new things. Huaqing even packed us a bag of treats and a kind note talking about her day with the doggies. I would recommend her to anyone because I could tell she really does care about pets and their well- being. Thank you again a million time Huaqing!!

Anthony and Diana were great! I can tell that Bonnie had a blast with them. They were very responsive and the multitude of pictures they sent were much appreciated. They were flexible, and I could tell they really cared for Bonnie. I would definitely use them again.
