“Cali usually is uncomfortable with new people and I always dread leaving her, but whatever Kirsten is doing it works. Cali is actually excited to go to daycare and that is a load off of me! Thank you, Kirsten and Rover!”
“This is the most welcoming and joyful home. One of the highlights is that my pup gets to play in secret paradise. You’ll understand if you book. I hope to reconnect with them soon. It’s so rare when the space and the family are absolute treasures.”
“Heather took great care of my pup and was very responsive. I appreciated the frequent photos and updates. My dog came home happy and tired. I will definitely be using Heather again in the future!”
“Amazing job taking care of Milka, always sending pictures and videos! We loved that. She also was so flexible on the drop off and pick up times as well so that made it really easy for us. We definitely recommend her as pet sitter.”
“I would highly recommend Vanessa for daycare. She was flexible and could accommodate us last minute, which I am very grateful for! She was patient with my dog Kirby, who seemed well-cared for, happy, and tired when I picked her up. Thank you very much, Vanessa!”
“For the first time ever, I left my 2 Bassett Hounds in a doggy daycare. After carefully reviewing reviews and profiles, I found Charlie and Camilla and boy did we win the lottery ! They are not only professionals within the animal world, but you can tell they LOVE DOGS. Their home is perfect for your fur baby to run around and play both front and back yard! They have a very secure yard enclosed by gates but yet still very open with plants, very clean and a beautiful view to SD. Camilla sent me videos and pictures of my fur babies playing and waiting to be picked up which helped ease the anxiety. I knew my babies were going to be ok and left knowing they were in the best care. Camila and Charlie, THANK YOU. Our stay in SD has been great and now we know who to contact when in SD again. We cannot thank you enough for loving and caring for our fur babies.”
“My dog was happy to be staying with Enrique . He was amazing taking care of chucky for me . Will be coming back to him . Very good at communicating . 5/5 * thanks ! :)”

With my wife and son as my partners in care, we create a warm and welcoming environment for pets, making them feel like part of our family. Our goal is to provide a loving and comfortable experience for pets, giving them the attention and care they deserve. Together, we offer a unique blend of experience, compassion, and dedication that ensures pets are happy and content in our care. As a self-employed individual working from home, my daily and weekly routine is flexible, allowing me to dedicate ample time to pet care.

“Berenice was an absolute lifesaver! I received a last-minute graduation invitation and needed someone trustworthy to care for Mini; Berenice came through! She responded quickly to all my messages and made the entire booking, drop-off and pick-up process so easy and stress-free. She welcomed Mini into her home with kindness and sent us peace-of-mind photo updates, which we really appreciated. Berenice was attentive, caring, and even gave Mini the opportunity to interact with her toddler and sweet dog. She also shared important observational notes at the end of Mini's visit. Definitely 5-stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 and a big thank you from Mini and the whole family... 🐶🧔🏻♂️👩🏻🦱👨🏻🦱👧🏻!”

Ana C.
“Ana is a pet lover, she's had two dogs in her life time, a French Poodle named "Princess" that her husband gave to her since she was a puppy and kept her for 7+ years. Unfortunately she passed away due to health complications last year. She always gave her the love, care and attention she needed to be a happy dog. Princess was part of the family. During the time Princess was about 1yrs old, she took under her care a dog that her husband found in the streets, outside of her home. After posting signs of a missing dog, the owner came forward and said he didn't wanted him anymore. Ana and her husband decided to keep the dog after noticing that the dog had formed an attachment towards them. The dog named "George" became a part of their family as soon as he walked through their door. They decided to give him the love and care he needed. He's a sweet and lovable dog. Ana has also taken care of my five month old puppy named "Teddy" when I had to go out of town. Teddy quickly formed a relationship with her and I could tell that he enjoyed the time he spent with her. Overall, Ana is great with dogs and I know she would do great with any dog that comes into her life. ”

Claire was incredibly kind and thoughtful with her communication as well as her care of our pups! Our dogs loved their time with her and came home tired and happy. Claire also was very flexible with her schedule with us, and this was incredibly helpful as we were dealing with a big event on the same day as her dogsit! Claire took the time to do a video call with me prior to watching our dogs, and was super receptive to both my mother and myself as she was watching both of our fur babies- so this of course lead to paragraphs on paragraphs of info, but Claire had no issue with this and was reassuring and down to earth through the entire process. I would never take my dog to anyone but her after our experience !!
Daniel and Marina were absolutely amazing! They had a great communication, their puppies got along with Benji and played all day. Benji came back calm and ready for bed which is always a good sign of good humans. Without hesitation I would use them again. Highly recommend them.
Crystal was available last minute for daycare for my 7 month pup, and very accommodating with puppy proofing her apartment last minute. Handoff was easy - we met outside her apartment so the dogs could eet. She was thorough - asked about treat preferences, whether we were ok with him destroying toys, what commands he knows and what his cues are. My dog came home tired and happy. I’ll send him back anytime!
Elizabeth and her family were great with Mochi - he came in and immediately crashed out so I think that's a fair testament that he had a wonderful time playing with the family and their dogs! Elizabeth was super easy to communicate with and took a last minute booking request, which helped us out considerably. Will definitely reach out again in future. Thank you Elizabeth and family for taking such good care of Mochi and for the photos and feedback today, it was nice to know he was having fun while we were at work.
