Jessie is wonderful and conscientious. My large 80 pound red mix loved her so much. I felt she was in good hands. I’ve booked her twice so far and hope to more stays in the future.

Yasmine took care of my dog according to my request. She sent me pictures and a see-promoter for any of my communications. I would definitely use her services again.

Jennifer did an absolute amazing job with my big baby!! This was my first time leaving my pitbull with someone who’s not family or friends for a weekend. I was so nervous at first and Jennifer made me feel so comfortable with all of the updates over the weekend! I highly recommend her and can’t wait to use her again in the future! Top notch dog sitter

Another weekend boarding experience with Casey that we could not be happier about! Our dogs now RUN UP the stairs to Casey's place in excitement and we felt so at ease leaving them. We had very spotty service during the weekend at where we were, but we knew that our dogs were being cared for the best they could be (spoiled, really!) and gave us zero worries. Thank you, thank you, Casey.

Shuping is one of the best “nanas” Cookie has ever had, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have found her through Rover. From the moment Cookie stayed with her, it was clear how much warmth, kindness, and genuine love she gives to the pets in her care. She treated Cookie as if she were her own, and that gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were away. One of our favorite things was receiving her sweet updates. She would send us adorable photos and videos and share little stories about Cookie’s day. The way she affectionately referred to Cookie as a “little rascal” always made us smile and showed just how much she cared for her. As pet parents, being away from your beloved pet can be difficult. Finding someone who loves, cares for, and cherishes your pet almost as much as you do is truly a blessing. That’s exactly what we found in Shuping. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, responsible, and attentive caregiver for their pet. She is warm, kind, thoughtful, and genuinely wonderful. We would happily trust Cookie with her again anytime.

Hong was great with our energetic 14-month old pup, Archie! Hong took Archie for multiple walks in the woods and dog park visits each day, and sent us photos and videos. We could tell that Archie was having a great time, and that the experiences were very enriching. Archie can have anxiety around new people, especially men, but he really seemed to bond to Hong which was great to see. Archie was totally relaxed when we picked him up, and seemed just as happy to stay at Hong’s house as to get in the car. We cannot recommend Hong highly enough!

Zarah is amazing!! My dog (Monty) is a quirky boy with lots of anxiety. Zarah was immediately attentive, empathetic, and understanding :) She truly cared about learning everything about Monty and how best to care for him, and she sent tons of pictures and updates! I trust Zarah implicitly and know Monty is in great hands with her. He felt at home right away, and he will be happy to see Zarah and Honey again soon :)

Dymin is the best! We left our two dogs (ages 13 and 2) with her for several nights. She took them on lots of walks, sent us tons of pictures and gave them very personalized care for their different needs and energy levels. Dymin is clearly a dog lover as she had a way with the dogs from our first meeting... tails wagging and happy to stay with her. She was very responsive to any texts and we felt completely assured that our dogs were in great hands. We would recommend her unconditionally!

The entire team was so amazing! Scarlett and Avery were part of our boarding team and we got so many amazing updates and pictures throughout each day! Extremely responsive and so nice to know our puppy was having fun and taken care of each day. Additionally, they picked up and dropped her off which was so so handy. Lastly, Scarlett dropped her off with a toy and treats in her bag which was so not expected and so sweet! Will 10000% use them again when we’re out of town.

Su did an incredible job with watching Sydney while I was overseas for a week! He sent daily updates about how she was doing and plenty of pictures too. He took her for multiple walks a day, kept her on a consistent routine, and spent a lot of quality time with her outside in the back yard. Syd looked so relaxed and calm every day of her stay, I could tell she felt safe and happy with Su. Would book again with him in a heartbeat!
