2. Magdalena H.

“Baxter has stayed Andrea and her pups twice for daycare, with hopefully more days to come! Andrea has a gentle, kind spirit and seems very attuned to a dog's needs.

6. April L.

“April has been such an angel for our pet Mimi. Now, I don’t plan a vacation without first consulting her availability. We also feel so fortunate both April and her boyfriend are dog lovers and they work mostly remotely. We are getting a 2 in 1 kind of deal.”


7. Lilly R.

“Lilly was a wonderful sitter for our 6-month-old puppy. She sent updates during and was very responsive in planning. She helped our puppy and by the end you can tell our dog loved spending time with Lilly. Thank you!”


8. Danielle M.

“Danielle took great care of my dog! Usually my dog is very sad when I leave but she was running to meet Danielle and to get inside. She played all day with Danielle’s dog and they became fast friends. I loved all the photos and updates I received throughout the day! My dog was in safe hands, I couldn’t recommend Danielle more! I will definitely have her babysit again”


9. Tara Dawn A.

“Tara and Leo were prompt, communicative, and wonderful with my dog Choux! He clearly warmed up to them quickly and had a lovely day at their house. Tara sent us photos of him looking very content receiving belly rubs. I look forward to booking with her again!”


10. Azar H.

“Azar was great with the coqui! She’s so nice and easy to coordinate with. We met beforehand and it was clear she loves dogs, so I was comfortable with her caring for coqui. She sent some pics of him couch lounging and took him on a bunch of walks. I would definitely have him hang with her again.”


11. Sophia L.
“Sophia took care of our dog Allie for a couple of days while my wife and I were on vacation. Allie is usually very shy and scared of other people but she loved Sophia! Sophia gave us regular updates the days we were away and Allie was very happy staying with her. There were no issues and we would definitely have Sophia look after Allie again!”


12. Syuan H.
About: I truly love caring for animals—brushing, playing, walking, and giving them lots of love. I also keep pet parents updated with messages and photos, so you’ll always know how your furry friend is doing! Pet care is something I truly enjoy, so I always make time for it in my schedule. I’m flexible on weekdays and weekends, and I’m happy to adjust to what works best for you and your pet. I treat every pet with the same love and care I give my own. When visiting your home, I always disinfect my hands and wear shoe covers to keep your space clean and safe. I make sure your pet feels comfortable by brushing, playing, and giving them calm, loving attention. I also send regular updates so you always know how your fur baby is doing.


13. Stephan M.
“Stephan is a dog lover at heart. He is an attentive, reliable and compassionate dog-sitter who puts our pet's needs first. The love and attention goes both ways as our dog adores him as well. I know that with Stephan I do not need to worry about a thing!”




14. Gregory R.
“I relied on Greg to provide a safe and affectionate environment for almost two years before I moved to Southern California. My pup, Frankie, came from the shelter with a fear of men which made finding a pet sitter a challenge. I once asked my male neighbor to walk my dog as a favor, and he was afraid that my nutty little Spaniel was going to bite him! In contrast, Frankie never ever feared Greg, and that gave me peace of mind when I dropped him off. Greg was also cognizant of Frankie's sensitivities and took care to not expose him to fearful situations unnecessarily. Frankie loved going to Greg's -- even saying Greg's name around the house elicited ear perking and head tilting. Greg's dog, Theo, is a big lovebug and played well with Frankie, too. Greg is a dog lover of all sizes and will care for your fur baby like family. I never had to worry that my fur baby was going to miss his meals, his medication, or come home dirty or traumatized. If you are looking for a reliable and caring dog caregiver, I highly recommend Greg without any reservations.”


15. Kelly L.


“Kelly’s house is like Disneyland for Nino. He loves Kelly and has so much fun playing with all his friends. We look forward to daycare every week :)”


16. Osaze R.

“Took good care of Bowie. Spent time with us when we dropped the dog off to listen and learn about him. Sent photos throughout the day. And gave a great summary when we picked the dog up. Quick communicator too whenever we texted. Appreciate Osaze watching Bowie.”


17. Anthony A.
“With my upcoming travel plans, I reached out to Anthony and Nikita. We were able to schedule a meet and greet with them to meet their cute dog Mia and see the place. Oliver got on great with Mia, and their place is very clean with a huge patio. Nice quiet neighborhood also. Oliver looked happy as ever in the frequent update pictures and videos sent by these two lovely folks. Would 100% trust them again with Oliver. Thank you Nikita and Anthony!”


18. Krystle T.
“Everytime I leave for an extended time I put my trust in Krystle to watch my dog. When I come back I think my dog is always sad she has to leave Krystle's place . I think she just wants to stay there permanently. I would highly recommend your pet stay with Krystle.”


19. Alexandra O.

“Alex was punctual, courteous, and a pleasure to have sit our dog Molly. She was extremely patient and gentle with our anxious dog and made the sitting experience feel easy. I would recommend her to anyone!”


20. Jason Z.
“Oh man- Jason is so cool! I live in the Bay but travel to LA for work often and always leave my dog Jamie with Jason if available while I'm away. He sends me pics and I often feel like Jamie is happier with him and Olive than with me! Jamie is an older dog who needs to take prescription pills in the morning and evenings and Jason has always been good with that. It's nice to know my baby is in good hands while I'm away! TY Jason!”
