“Jessica was awesome!!! She was very responsive, kept me updated with pictures and text messages.She took great care of him and even took him a bath. Midnight really enjoyed his time with her and her family. I highly recommend her. I would book with her again in the future. :)”
“Rosemeri was wonderful. She was willing to watch both of our pups at the last minute and took amazing care of them. Best of all, since it was our first time having someone watch them without us, she put both mine and my husband's mind at ease, including sending us pictures and videos every day. I would recommend her and use her services again!”
“I cannot speak highly enough of Jeanette. Chance had a blast. He went to the dog park and long walks galore. She is amazing and if she treats dog sitting this way I know she must be successful in everything else she does in life.”
“She is an incredible sitter! She was so thoughtful and really paid attention to my dog's needs. I loved receiving daily updates, and it was heartwarming to see how she comforted him during the storm. Her home is lovely, and my dog instantly took a liking to her. Highly recommend!”
“We have now used Matthew 3 times and keep going back for a reason. He is wonderful with our dogs, who have unique needs, and we feel confident they’re in good hands with him.”
“Christina was beyond accommodating for what was a very stressful situation, she kept in contact and treated my pup like family. 10 stars. High recommend. Thanks again!”
“Yuberkis is AMAZINGGG! She was a Godsend for being able to take Gizmo last minute and communication was always easy. He stayed with her for 3 days and I received pictures and videos during his whole stay. I loved seeing him play with his other doggy friends. It's obvious that she loves dogs and takes care of them like her own. 1000% recommended and will definitely be a returning client.”
“Our baby enjoyed his stay with David a lot! David took very good care of Pom Pom - he walked him twice everyday, brought him to brunch, played a lot with him, and I can tell David genuinely loves spending time with dogs. Pom Pom is a very clingy dog, he has to sleep with humans at night. So I much appreciated it that David didn’t mind having Pom Pom sleeping in bed with him at night. Also David was very responsive in messages and sent us bunch of updates with pictures throughout the day during Pom Pom’s stay. We would definitely recommend David and you can trust that your pup will be in good hands!”
“Another amazing experience with Noelle and her family! They treat my Jax like one of their own, and he’s always such a happy boy when he stays with them!”
“Darrin, Debra, and Emily cared for our most precious treasure Benjamin with much love, attention to detail, and dedication. We are very grateful for their professionalism, and for the good treatment that our English Bulldog received during this stay at their home. We recommend and will request your services again in the future.”

“An absolute PLEASURE to have Sneha take care of my precious baby girl! She kept me updated on everything they did, feedings, walks, doing her business and it was such a peace of mind to know she was well taken care of through every part of the day. With my work schedule, my dog can’t get walks as often as I’d like but Sneha had it covered! She had great tips when my dog had diarrhea too! Will gladly be booking with her again and know that any dog I send her way will be loved and taken care of completely! Highly recommend!!!”

I highly recommend him and would definitely have her stay with them again on my next trip ??”
“They are so amazing! Zion is a rescue and has separation anxiety and is not fully potty trained. They took care of him so well and did everything and more to make his stay comfortable! Also they responded to a last minute booking request within 20 minutes and were able to watch him that same night. Highly recommend booking with them!! Your pup is in very good hands!”
“This was our first time using Rover, and I couldn't be more pleased with our experience. From first meeting Manuel, I knew Smash was in good hands. He has a very warm presence, which I know made my baby feel more comfortable. Manuel was very good about staying in touch and sending pictures. We will definitely have him sit our dog again.”
“I just want to say thank you very much for taking good care of my puppy. It was the first time Cooper was being left alone, I was so worried that he wouldn't react well to it. But thanks to Sal and Troy Cooper seem very happy and comfortable during his stay, they make my dog felt like he was part of his family. They send me pictures of Cooper while we were on our trip and it made me feel that he was safe, happy and over all well taken care of. I couldn't be more happy with the way they took care of my dog. I will contact them again if I need their care for Cooper. Thank you guys!!!”
