“Jessica was so great with our puppy! I’m relieved to have found someone that will take such good care of her when we need to travel. Thank you Jess for all the pics and updates. Chloe will be back ❤️”


2. Na P.

“Wow! Shiina and her family provided exceptional care for our corgi girl while we were on vacation. They followed all our home routines and sent plenty of pictures throughout the day, which gave us peace of mind and allowed us to fully enjoy our trip. It truly felt like our pet had her own vacation, filled with love from Shiina’s family, regular walks, mental exercises, and attentive health care, including massages and tooth brushing. Shiina and her family treated our dog as if she were their own, ensuring she felt relaxed and at home. Their communication was outstanding every step of the way. Additionally, knowing that all the money we spent was donated to charities and a dog shelter made the experience even more special. We felt great knowing that our stay with Shiina's family helped others as well. This was the first time we had such an amazing experience with a sitter, and we are incredibly grateful for the exceptional care Shiina and her family provided. Thank you so much!”

“This is our first time using Jing’s service. What a pleasant surprise! She is very caring, tentative, and communicate often about what’s happening to our dog Hugo.

5. Isbath L.

“Isbath and her sister were so friendly and took such great care of our dogs. They provided us with updates and photos throughout their stay. Their dogs are so sweet and got along great with our dogs too. We needed a sitter last minute as ours cancelled and they were very accommodating. They have a beautiful home in a nice neighborhood with a fenced in yard. We would recommend your pets staying with this wonderful family of four and the next time we need a sitter, they will be the first ones we call! Thank you so much for taking the best care of our dogs!”

16. Lupe M.

“My wife and I so greatly appreciate Lupe's exceptional care of my 2 year old dog, Roopert (Roo) during my first Rover experience, which was an entire week! We are accustomed to leaving Roo with close family or friends, so I was initially apprehensive about Rover. However, Lupe's outstanding communication and daily updates, including plenty of photos and videos eased our worries. With Roopert weighing almost 70 lbs and bursting with energy, I truly appreciated Lupe's dedication to spending quality time playing with him, including fetch in his spacious, fully fenced yard, and just his overall competence as it pertained to dog behavior, and the needs associated. When I picked up Roopert this morning, he looked fantastic – clean, content, and absolutely joyful. Lupe's top-notch service and genuine care for our boy are so greatly appreciated. I wholeheartedly recommend Lupe to anyone seeking trustworthy and loving care for their furry friend. Thanks, Lupe!”

“So thankful I found Desiree! She took such great care of my dog while we were away. She was always so quick to respond and provided me with detailed daily updates. I never had to worry that my dog wasn’t in good hands. He had a great time and was made to feel right at home!”




19. Vanessa C.

“Vanessa and her family were amazing to our large puppy while we were away for thanksgiving. They made him part of the family and he came home totally exhausted from all the fun! We would definitely leave our dog with Vanessa and her family again!”
