“Kwangwoo was great with Bentley! Super communicative, easy to find times for pick up and drop off. He also sent some fun pictures and kept us updated of Bentley's day. Everything was packed up and ready to go when we came to pick up Bentley! Would definitely recommend and work with Kwangwoo again”

“This was the longest we've left our girl with someone, and it went great! Got daily updates, pictures. Tyler was super nice and Lola had a great time!”

“Alec and Damien did such an amazing job caring for my pup! They were incredibly responsive throughout the process and provided such a warm and welcoming environment for my dog. My dog felt at home and at ease almost instantly. They sent really thoughtful updates that made it clear that my dog was having a lovely time while I was away! I will definitely be rebooking the next time I need a dog sitter!”

“Our dog sitter backed out at the last minute so I went on Rover just two days before our trip. I read the reviews about Ruya and can attest that they're all accurate. Ruya was fantastic! She responded immediately Once I met her I felt great leaving our dog with them. She was so kind, treated our dog well and sent pictures each day. Our dog didn't want to come home! Will be certain to use Ruya again.”

“Rebecca took great care of my dog during a weekend trip. I know he got plenty of exercise and love because he came home tired in the best way possible. Thank you!”

“Erica was amazing with our Maggie! She took great care of her and gave us thorough updates throughout each day. Erica was so caring and supportive of all of our care instructions. Maggie clearly enjoyed her time with Erica. We cannot recommend her highly enough!”

“Melanie was an incredible dog sitter! They were extremely conscientious and my dog was clearly thrilled to have their company. They checked in about anything unusual and sent lots of super cute photos and videos. They even stepped in to help out when we had an unexpected problem with our fridge, and saved us from potential damage to our property! Mel is is a delight and your pet will think so too!”

“I was a bit nervous, as I had never boarded my pup overnight in an unfamiliar place before. Kayla alleviated every ounce of stress I could have had! She was absolutely great and very professional. She and her two adorable pups welcomes my boy Brody into her home and took such good care of him while I was away, sending updates and pictures regularly. Brody usually gets separation anxiety but became comfortable with Kayla surprisingly quickly, had so much fun playing with her pup Bandit, and came home plum tuckered out! I’m so happy and relieved to have found Kayla and will certainly be returning to her next time I need a sitter!”

“Rachel took care of Theo for two consecutive weekends when I needed a sitter. She was responsive and pick up/drop off was very easy. Her neighborhood seems good for dogs, with a park very close by. Thank you Rachel!”

“Angela did a great job watching Dudley overnight! He came back healthy and happy. I got updates while we were away; we’re looking forward to having Dudley stay with her again.”

“Lauren was amazing!!! She was so detail oriented around Mikko, sent lots of pictures, and overall made me feel very confident in having him stay with her. She’ll definitely be my go to moving forward!”

“Steven was great with our dog. We boarded her with him for a long weekend She is a nervous girl and often barks at new people. When I dropped her off he took her leash and her treats and immediately got her to sit and calm down. During her stay with Steven he sent us photos, which I appreciate. When I picked her up she was in good spirits and wagging her tail which is always a good sign. We will definitely be using Steven's services again.”

“We feel so fortunate to have found Laura! Our 15 year old labradoodle is a good old man but he needs different care than a younger dog. Laura sent us daily updates and took such great care of our Henry. Would highly recommend Laura as a kind and compassionate caregiver!”

“Tae is fantastic! My dog bonded with her quickly. She was excellent with communication and sent enough pictures on my long trip to help me feel connected to what my dog was up to, even though i wasn't there. Her dog us very gentle and friendly and i think he also helped my dog feel more secure. When i picked my dog up she was relaxed and happy . I would recommend Tae and will definitely reach out again”

“Hanna was friendly and accommodating right from booking. She was great to work with. We picked up Ollie, our 13 week old puppy, after a long day away, and he was so happy and calm (rare and impressive for a puppy!) It's clear he was well cared for and got tons of attention. We will be using Hanna for dog care whenever possible in the future!”


“My dogs have stayed with Dayna and Paul a few times now and I have nothing but great things to say about them. My dogs are obviously very well cared for and they obviously love dogs. They are also very flexible with schedules and pick up times. Overall just great!”
