“Glad that we brought our furry baby back to Tina for boarding. Tina pays attention to the very details of caring. Peanut had a great time of fun, relax, be loved, and peaceful when staying at Tina’s. The instruction are clear and Tina provided photos, videos, and updates about my furry baby all the time. It’s very rest assure and thoughtful.”
“We couldn’t be more thrilled with the exceptional care Mickey provided for our fur babies, Zetta and Yotta. They had an absolute blast under Mickey’s watchful eye, making new friends and enjoying every moment. It’s evident that Mickey’s genuine love for animals shines through in the way she cared for them. Zetta and Yotta returned home happy, healthy, and clearly well-loved. We highly recommend Mickey to anyone seeking a caring and responsible pet sitter.”
“Nicole and Aaron were the best dog sitters on this planet. I’m serious! 😃 They treated my dog like a king 👑 and he loves them for it! I’m going to try to make them my permanent sitters, if they’d like. They walked him often, as my dog wanted, they rubbed his belly and provided him a comfortable bed and kennel. They are the greatest dog sitters I’ve ever met.”
“Mika was a wonderful choice to care for Gizmo while we were on a 6-day vacation! She was so easy to work with and welcomed Gizmo into her family. She responds quickly to all questions and sent many photos and videos while we were away, which assured us Gizmo was having as much fun there there as we were on vacation! We will definitely use her again!”
“Olga took care of my dog, Ozzy, very carefully. She kept informing me about Ozzy while I was away. From the photos, I can tell my dog was very happy and comfortable. I will definetely send Ozzy to her for care. Best, Futian Liu”
“Our two pups, Lola and BB, love Thavery! Thavery sends daily photo updates and takes the girls on fun walks. We trust her to administer all the necessary medication that our 14 year dog needs. One of our dogs hurt her leg recently, and Thavery was so accomodating to her needs.”
“Li and Di were awesome caring for Enzo and Waffle. We had another caregiver scheduled.... but the guy went MIA the day before our trip (speaking of stress level...). So I reached out to Li/Di last minute and they responded to me so quickly and agreed to care for our dogs. Their place is really clean and big. They also have a big yard. As soon as I walked into their place while handing over our dogs, I know they would be in good hands. Li/Di are so friendly and their kids love our dogs. Dogs came back to us healthy, happy and clean. I would highly recommend Li and Di and will have no problem booking them again for our next trip.”
“Hazel was well taken care of by Doug! He was very flexible with our drop off and pick up times. She went on plenty of walks and slept well when she got back home. I will be using Doug in the future!”
“Bennie & Jennie are sooo amazing! Once again, I rebooked them to watch over my cat because of a work trip. They made sure she was well cared for and even celebrated her first birthday with a (cat food) cake and candle 🥹. She's definitely getting more comfortable with their cats so I'm glad she had cat friends to celebrate her birthday. 10/10!”
“Our pup had a wonderful experience with Joanna! Joanna was very detailed and watched after our dog as if she was her own. We hope to work with Joanna again in the near future :).”
“Liz is the best sitter that our precious Munchin ever have. Liz took pictures and video of Munchie everyday, and really took care of her. It felt like Munchkin had her own vacation as well. Thank you Liz, until next time.”
“Wen took SUCH good care of our doggie!! She was super responsive, easy to reach, and sent us lots of updates. Our dog Millie had so much fun, we could tell that Wen is awesome with dogs of all kinds! We definitely recommend!”
“Ye was one of the best dog sitter I’ve ever had! She is so sweet and nice and very caring. She sent me pictures and videos of Bruno daily and kept me updated with everything they were doing, which made me feel at ease and was not worried at all during my trip. Her and her family were great and Bruno really enjoyed it and had fun with her two dogs. I would highly recommend her anytime and would definitely use her again!”
“Niloofar was awesome!!! This was my first time having my senior dog with a dog sitter that wasn’t a familiar friend or family member. She made me feel at ease answering all my questions before deciding on booking. She took amazing care of my dog and made him feel very comfortable! 😊 I definitely recommend her and look forward to booking her in the future! 👏🏼🙌🏽”
“Nika and her husband took great care of our fur baby. From all the pictures she sent to us, we can clearly see that our baby was comfortable and loving staying with them. It was also great that they were okay sleeping with our baby. They are such a sweet and caring couple we can definitely trust. Thank you!”
“I boarded my dog Simba with Twinkle — and just like her name, she truly sparkled as a sitter! She was warm, friendly, and kept me updated with Simba's adventures. When Simba threw up, Twinkle noticed right away, took great care of him, and even gave him a bath (bonus sparkle points!). Simba came back happy, clean, and clearly well-loved. Twinkle is a gem, and she’ll definitely be my go-to sitter from now on!”
“This was my first time using Rover. Yana watched my cat Luna for a day when I really needed someone super last minute. Yana was very nice and sent a couple pictures throughout the day which I appreciated!”
“Kristina is an absolute gem, she took great care of Onion and we received timely updates during the entire stay. Onion had a blast which is not always true with other boarding options so I am very happy that I found Kristina. She also has a young daughter who plays with him and Onion is comfortable with children which I think made him happy and calm.”
