“Selena took the time to know my dog before our appointment. She was also accommodating to our plan changes and our specific needs. My dog looked happy under her care and had a great time!”
“We had our 2 cats (Aurora and Orion) stay with Zhiya over the 4th of July weekend. We couldn't be more happy with the care and service she provided them. We knew just by meeting her that she was the right person for the job. And her "cat room" in her home was plenty big enough, clean, and filled with pet toys to keep them entertained. During our trip, she would send updates and pictures of how they were doing giving us great comfort. We highly recommend Zhiya's services to care for your pets during your trip too. Your pets will thank you for it. 🐱 Sincerely, Fred Roy”
“Our puppy Penelope was so happy at her stay with Namita and Sijan. They are awesome guests, and always in touch sending pictures and videos of our puppy. In our case, they help our puppy Penelope to socialize and make some friends with other beautiful puppies. I 100% recommend Namita and Sijan. I'll for sure count with them for next time. Thank you Namita and Sijan! ?”
“Jie is friendly, reliable, and caring. She sent me updates and photos of our dog everyday. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“Alejandra and Leo were wonderful! I am the classic first time dog owner who got a dog during Covid so I was very anxious to leave my fur baby to go on an international trip with my family.. to put it lightly.. I tried to find any and every excuse not to go and to just stay home with my fur baby. When I first met Alejandra and Leo during a meet and greet, their instant calm and loving nature showed through and immediately put me at ease. And my pup (who is usually anxious in meeting new people) was instantly calm and behaved. SHOCKING LOL After just one more long walk (a week before I was leaving), I knew that my Mayor was in good hands. They not only send me daily photos and videos… they also followed his daily schedule and showered him with love and lots of walks and hikes. My pup was so happy during his stay and I would highly recommend to have your pup stay with Alejandra and Leo. I will definitely be rebooking whenever I am away 😁”
“Jeangbin was amazing! She sent daily updates on Nala with videos and pictures, which put me at ease while we were out of town. Nala also enjoyed playing with her pups as well. Will definitely rebook with her!”
“My first time using the app. I was very hesitant at first but so glad to use it. Elise is wonderful. She was very reassuring and very kind and helpful. Always replied and with photos/video of Kevin. Being a puppy he had a wonderful time with other dogs. A good experience for both of us. Thank you Elise!! Will definitely be using your service again.”
“Tianyu treated Leo like he was part of the family. He sent so many photos and videos and I was rest assured he was well taken care of. Will definitely have Leo stay with Tianyu again in the future!”
“Left Milo with Dini for a few days. He’s a hyper dog and was definitely tired out . He had a lot of fun! Dini also sent a lot of updates throughout milo’s stay which was perfect. would definitely book again!”
About: I have a beautiful cat, Charlie. I learned a lot about cats from him. I’ve also had the privilege of working with Much Love (dog foster), NKLA (No-Kill Los Angeles, dog care taker) and the Marin Humane Society ( cat care taker), where I gained hands-on experience caring for pets of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. More recently I fostered Timon, a handsome husky, and found a furrever home for him. I love pets and have lots of patience. I’m currently working from home. And my working schedule is flexible. I can work around the schedule to fit pet care in. So I am available most time of the week. I have a fenced yard. My cat Charlie, he just doesn’t care. He is ok with other cats and dogs, based on past experience. No children at home.
“This was our second time having Judi take care of our girls, Mazal and Merci, and once again, she exceeded all expectations! Judi truly has a gift for working with animals. She not only made sure all their daily needs were met but also took the time to take them on long walks and play fetch—one of their absolute favorite activities. It’s clear she genuinely cares about their happiness and well-being. Judi kept us updated throughout with pictures and messages, so we never had to worry. We could tell Mazal and Merci were having a great time and felt loved and comfortable in her care. We have complete trust in Judi and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone in need of a dedicated, caring, and reliable sitter. Judi is a true gem, and we are immensely grateful for her exceptional care. We will definitely be booking her again! Thank you, Judi! 🐾💖”
“Emma is a great dog sitter who takes amazing care of all dogs. She is very caring and understanding to all dogs and makes them feel at home. Emma is the perfect dog sitter!”
“They were just amazing! Took such good care of our Emmy. Kept us posted the whole time and were very welcoming. Definitely recommended!”
“Our favorite Rover dog-sitters moved, but they recommended a new family that took excellent care of our two small pups while we were away. MinJun & Mi Ran P. had a lovely home with a fenced in patio that was very safe and comfortable for our dogs. They were able to feed two finicky eaters, take them for walks, and share many photos and videos of our dogs while we were away, so we knew what they were doing. The bonus was another dog was also boarding and our younger pup had so much fun playing that she is still tired today! Will 100% choose MinJun & Mi Ran for boarding again next time we need it.”
“We are returning clients of Ken and Neo, my 2 year old female German Shepard mix loves staying with them and now is so comfortable with them 😃 always will appreciate the one on one time they spend together and their accommodating home for our fur baby.”
“Thank you Savita! You and your husband are so thoughtful and took amazing care of Mori. My pup jumps up and down when he gets to stay at your house! Absolutely loved all the pics and videos you shared with us.”
“Janine and her family took care of my dog so, so well- as if she was one of their own! Janine is quick to answer if I had any questions and her updates and pictures of how my dog was doing kept me in the loop and provided peace of mind knowing everyone was having a great time!”
“Nancy has great communication, sending up photos and messages during even short stays with her. We appreciate her responsiveness and flexibility!”
“Marsha was an exceptional sitter. From the pictures shared, gizmo seemed very comfortable and looked as though he was in his own home. I also appreciated Marsha’s flexibility with dropping gizmo off. She’s very sweet as well as her son. Looking forward to many more visits with Marsha. Thanks so much.”
“I am delighted with my buddy's boarding at Su B.'s. He was in excellent spirit when I went to pick him back. I will use Su B.'s place for my pal in the future if available, and I highly recommend it.”

My dog Simba stayed with Tianyu for a week. They take very good care of him and shared regular updates about him. Took him on a daily walks and gave lots of play time with their pup Pipi. Highly recommend.
Amazing, coordinated, educated, and detailed in her updates! Continued my girls training on her reactivity and kept my mind at ease while I was away. Will be recommending and using her from now on!
Kimiya was fantastic! She was incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. I was especially impressed with how capable and attentive she was—she took excellent care of my energetic dog Chance as well as a much older dog at the same time, handling both their needs with confidence and care. I truly appreciated her professionalism and warm demeanor. I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again if our schedules line up!!
Savita was very kind and accommodating. Yogi had a great time and he was well taken care of. Savita periodically sent photos and updates throughout his stay which is highly appreciated. I would definitely book with Savita again.
Kiki always has such a blast here with Selena and Michael! She gets to play with so many friends and I can see from all the updates how happy she is. Kiki says thank you and see you in August for the next doggy vacation!
Took care of my Gucci for two weeks while i was on vacation & made sure she was well fed despite the stress of being in a new environment. I always knew she was okay because I was updated with pictures throughout the weeks :).
I had both my dogs stay with Aruna for about 10 days. They were well cared for and I would have no hesitation to have her sit my fur babies again. She agreed too administer medication for one of my pups last minute due to unexpected circumstances which I was very great full for. Communication and response time was always reliable. It was comforting Aruna sent a photo or video of my pups to me frequently. I was able to be away feeling that they were in good hands and did not have to worry about them.
Took great care of our family’s 16 year old senior dog Cherie! Sent plenty of photos and I felt at rest knowing that Cherie was in Kiyah’s care.
We are very happy to have found Thalia for our Golden Retriever. Thalia responded quickly and was able to work with us to accommodate our needs. Manna feels at home at Thalia's place and fits right in with her Golden and puppy. Thalia kept us updated with numerous pictures and informed us about Manna's situation. Thank you, Thalia, for taking care of our dear girl!
Tianna was an amazing sitter for our Nala girl. She was very communicative, and sent lots of updates and pictures while we were away. I could tell Nala was very comfortable staying with Tianna and her family by the way she reacted when we picked her up. Often she would go crazy when we picked her up from other sitters but when we picked her up from Tianna's, it was like we were only away for a few minutes. I would 100% book a sitting with Tianna again and I give her my highest recommendation!!
We left our dog, Cookie, with Madhurupa and her family while we were out of town, and from the very beginning, she and her husband (and Snowy!) made us feel completely at ease. They were incredibly professional and responsive. Her husband asked thoughtful questions during our meet-and-greet, and made sure that Cookie was a good fit with their dog, Snowy. Throughout the stay, they sent regular updates, complete with photos and videos. They followed all of Cookie’s dietary needs perfectly, and walked her more than we do at home, which she dearly loved! Cookie can be a little shy at first, but by the end of her visit, she was clearly totally comfortable and happy. Highly recommend Madhurupa and her family to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind dog sitter. We’ll definitely be having Cookie stay over with them again!
Kun did an awesome job watching our dog Olive! From the start, they were super responsive and easy to work with. Olive can be a little shy at first, but she warmed up to Kun almost immediately, which says a lot. Throughout the stay, Kun kept us updated with photos and texts, which we really appreciated. It was clear Olive was getting excellent care and attention. When we picked her up, she was calm, happy, and clearly well-loved. Highly recommend Kun if you want your dog to be treated like family while you’re away. We’ll definitely be booking again!
Paula took excellent care of our dog ( labradoodle). She even accepted last minute changes to pick up and drop off. Constantly sending pictures of our dog ( Lola). Lola even had a bath while there. Excellent service and great communication.
They were just amazing! Took such good care of our Emmy. Kept us posted the whole time and were very welcoming. Definitely recommended!
Thanks so much for being flexible and we know he loves it at your place because he’s always excited to see you!
THE BEST SITTER! Jeanbin is super kinda and caring. I can tell Archie has had a lot of fun during the weekend stay. Will definitely revisit 🥰
Hongyu is very friendly and responsive, and took good care of our dog while we were out of town. She sent us updates throughout the stay, and it was really cute seeing our dog play with Kevin (her dog) and her baby. My dog came home a happy pup!
Ruffy had a great first day with Priyam. You can’t miss her love for fur babies. She was also super kind to drop his toy that he had left behind. We look forward to meeting her more often!
