“Loved Nirvana! This was our first time using Rover and we loved the experience thanks to Nirvana. She was great with Raider. I got multiple updates during his stay with her. He came home super happy and well cared for. Raider has a seizure disorder with multiple medications administered through out the day and Nirvana handled it without any issues. It was really great knowing he was in good hands and getting all the cuddles. Will definitely be using her again.”
“Lika and Alister were amazing puppy sitters! Jellybean had tons of fun, they sent lots of pictures and made us feel very comfortable during his vacation! We will definitely have Jellybean stay with them again and would recommend them to anyone.”
“We have had Anne watch our Golden Retriever, Winnie, multiple times and couldn’t recommend enough! She takes the best care of her and truly cares about her. Her communication is great and is flexible when schedules changes. Thank you Anne!”
“Kira was amazing with my dog Ziggy. She was highly communicative, proactive with sending pictures, and treated my dog with love. I’ll absolutely rebook with her again the next time I go out of town”
“David took good care of our fur baby. Paneer was feeling a lot of separation anxiety but David managed to comfort him. We felt comforted too with the daily pictures and updates. Paneer had a great stay. Thank you David!”
“Andrew and Ellen were great. Excellent communication and updates with pictures and videos. Their dog was a great companion to ours. They were kind enough to work with our busy schedule and even met us in the park for a meet up beforehand to make sure all would go well. Will use them again :)”
“Kecia was great for watching my dog for 1 night! I had to book her last minute and she was really responsive and fast to my request. My dog Riley had a great time staying at her place with other dog companions. Would definitely use her again!”
“Matt was fantastic with my dog Tako. She took to him instantly, which she rarely does, and I felt comfortable with him right away as well. Easy communication, easy drop-off and pick-up - would absolutely recommend!”
“Ellana was extremely caring and communicative and I can’t thank her enough for taking care of Ellie. She provided timely updates and pictures and asked pertinent questions to make sure she was providing the best possible care. I will be going back to Ellana for any future dogsitting needs.”
“Amber took such good care of Kitsune that she almost didn't want to leave! Amber sent pics and videos every day and Kitsune looked happy and comfortable. Thank you so much for taking care of her while we were away!”

“Amy was the best sitter while I was away for the weekend! She was communicative, responsive, and gave me tons of updates (including great pics)! My pups loved playing with her dog, and I would trust her to watch them again. She even helped drop them off to make it easier for me - she went above and beyond. Definitely will book with her in the future and you should too!”
“I highly recommend Marissa for all of your sitter needs! She agreed to a meet up beforehand, provided regular updates and pictures while sitting, and my pup (who is is often timid) was all smiles and tail wags the entire time she was in Marissa’s care!”
“Eva and Tyler were the best cat sitters! I left my cat with them for 6 nights. He got along great with their cat! Eva and Tyler provided many updates with pictures and videos the entire time and were extremely quick to respond to any texts. The provided a safe and loving environment for my cat and I felt so comfortable having him there! Will 100% be using them for any future cat sitter needs!”
“Clarissa was amazing! She and her sweet dog Miro were the best hosts to my dachshund for a week. She checked in regularly and was super accommodating to my schedule. My dog who has separation anxiety was immediately comfortable around her and didn’t even get upset when we left. Thanks to Clarissa I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing my pup was in good hands.”
“Anne was amazing! So sweet with my dog from the beginning and thoughtful. She took her for a walk right before we picked her up so she’d go to the bathroom before the car ride. She sent me photos and videos of our dog during her stay, and took very good care of her!!”
“Melissa was great watching our mutt, Tulip. She dog sat twice for us. The first was just for a few hours. The second was twelve hours. Both occasions were seamless. Tulip seemed happy and calm about both stays. She normally suffers from separation anxiety but if she was going through it she was much calmer than usual. Melissa was always prompt and responsive to all my inquiries. She also was very articulate about Tulip’s behavior while with her. I will definitely seek Melissa out again when Tulip needs a sitter.”
“Mari did such an amazing job keeping our furbaby happy, cozy and active! She sent regular pictures of their outdoor activities and consistently kept me updated on how he was doing. She is awesome!”
“Nora and Anne were amazing sitters. Sage absolutely enjoyed theirs and their pup’s company! They sent ton of images and videos that kept me really at peace throughout my vacation!”
