“This was Rosie’s second stay with Rebeca, and she absolutely loved it! Rebeca took wonderful care of her and sent the cutest picture updates. We will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommended!”
“Mandy is cheerful and easy-going. She provided photos of my pet regularly and confirmed that meals were consumed (since our pet refuses to eat at times) and exercise was given. The fenced yard and deck are ample for fresh air breaks and Ruby seemed very much at home during her stay.”
“Sahana and Raman were wonderful! They took the time to meet our Red and make sure he was comfortable with them and their Cinnamon while we were still present. They were also very flexible and communicative. Red looked very happy and comfy, both in the many pics/videos they sent through the stay, and when we picked him up after a week. Would definitely book again!”
“We love Jessica! Our dog - michie- is so excited to stay with her every time. Jessica sends us updates about how Micjie is doing and quickly answers questions! She is easy to coordinate with and genuinely enjoys pets. Highly recommend - she is our number one suttee for our most precious fur family member!!!”
“Amanda and her family were great hosts to both our dogs! They treated them like family and Amanda provided frequent updates and pictures during their stay. Amanda was very flexible to work with and had wonderful communication. Aside from her spacious yard for the dogs to exercise in, they were also taken out on walks! Both of our dogs seemed very happy during their stay and they came home so tired; like they say: a tired dog is a happy dog! I would definitely recommend Amanda to anyone looking to receive quality care for their pets!”
“This was our first time leaving our dog with a sitter, and Gienna was an absolute gem. The love and attention were beyond our expectations. You can tell she not only loves dogs but really understands their personalities and quirks. We highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve been a dog owner for many years and have had three Shar Pei of my own. Shar Pei can be a challenging breed, and all three of mine experienced health issues over the years, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs who need a little extra patience and attention, including administering medications. I no longer have a dog in my home and have recently been dog sitting for friends and family. I’ve enjoyed it so much that I decided it was time to expand! I truly enjoy having dogs around, taking them for walks and giving them plenty of attention. Your dog will be treated like part of my family, not a guest. I work outside of the home during the week, but I have flexibility in my schedule and plenty of time to give your dog the attention, exercise and companionship they need. I enjoy walking and being outdoors, so daily walks are something I genuinely look forward to. When I’m home, your dog will be right there with me as part of the family. I have a fully fenced-in yard where your dog can safely spend time outside, and there are currently no other pets living in my home. This allows me to give your dog lots of individual attention and makes my home a comfortable option for dogs who may prefer not to be around other animals. I’m experienced with administering medications and caring for dogs with health issues and special needs. I’ll also follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, sleeping and medication routine as closely as possible. Above all, I want your dog to feel safe, comfortable and at home while you’re away.
“Luke was amazing with Autumn and we will definitely be using him again. He sent lots of pictures and she looked happy in all of them! She was a Covid dog so she isn't used to being alone so finding a sitter who was involved was very important for us. We were lucky to find him.”
“Likun took very good care of our 43 lb Bernedoodle. She was very patient when he became homesick and was professional and reliable at every interaction. She genuinely has an interest in caring for animals and is detail-oriented when coordinating their care. She also provided photos and videos for peace of mind that our boy was healthy and happy. We would rely on Likun again without question.”
“Xiuping and her family took care of my dog over the weekend for me- it was such a pleasure! My dog had a great time and the communication was so smooth and pleasant. I will book again!”
“I cannot say enough great things about Natasha and Jonathan! My puppy Luna (80lb, 1 year old lab mix) spent 6days and 5nights with them and they sent regular pictures and video updates. I could tell Luna was having the absolute best time and I was able to have a good vacation because I knew Luna was being well taken care of. We also did one test day before the longer stay and after that one day I knew Natasha and Jonathan were a great fit. Both times when I’ve picked her up she’s been happy and calm and very tired out from all the walks and playing. They were also super flexible with drop off and pick up times and communication was very easy. I would 1,000% recommend Natasha and Jonathan to absolutely anyone and I will definitely be booking with them again!”
“Fantastic dog sitter! They took wonderful care of my dog and sent daily photos that showed how happy and relaxed he was. Her dog is very friendly and welcoming, and the two got along great. I felt confident that my dog was in gods hands and would definitely use their services again.”
“Michael and his family were great!! Our Golden Jaxson came home super happy!! He sent multiple update pics and was very responsive!! Felt so at ease Knowing Michael was caring for Jaxson! 🐾”
“We left our 10 month old puppy with Elizabeth and Neil for a week! She had the best time! We received multiple pictures and videos each day. She was well cared for and is still recovering from her visit. She’s exhausted from all the playing. I can’t recommend Elizabeth and Neil enough. They are the best in this business. You walk in as a stranger and walk out as friends. They are the kindest and most caring people I know that truly go above and beyond! If you are looking for care for your pup… they are the ones to choose. ❤️🙌🏼”
“Thank you for taking care of Theo again! Theo always runs right into Elliot and Jo’s house and heads straight for the dog toys. I know I can leave him and he’ll feel right at home.”
“David took great care of our senior dog while we were away for four days. He went above and beyond to accommodate her and her somewhat difficult needs given her age. We will absolutely use him again!”
“Carol and her family are lovely! They took such great care of Stevie. I got a lot of pictures, great communication, updates and was relieved that Stevie was in such good hands. I highly recommend Carol.”
“I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Linda! From the moment I met, it was clear how caring, reliable, and attentive she is. My furry baby was happy, well-exercised, and clearly comfortable the entire time I was away. Linda provided just enough regular updates and photos showing how cared for my baby was. It’s such a relief to know my baby was treated like family. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend Linda to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter.”
“It's always hard to leave your dog behind while on vacation but I instantly felt as ease as soon as I dropped my baby boi off. He had an amazing time and the daily photos and updates were much appreciated. And because he was so well taken care of, I could fully enjoy my trip. I highly recommend.”
“We were looking a place where our Beagle girl can feel at home when we were away. We usually keep her in a pet hotel for short term stay, but the hotel was at full capacity. Within a very short notice, Danielle responded to our request on Rover and arranged a meet-n-greet with her pups! Once we arrived at her place, we knew that our girl will have a great time with her new friends! Danielle and Anthony are very welcoming and we were relieved to see that our girl will have a safe place to stay while we are away! Thank you both of you and we look forward to keep Vega with you the next time we are out of town!”
