“Cal & Susie were super great taking care of Hubble on multiple visits. Our dog loves being around people, and it's clear their family looked after him as if Hubble was their own. They sent us lots of photos while we were away, and are super helpful with coordinating dropoffs and pickups around the complexities of travel.”
“Oscar was an amazing, responsible dog sitter to my two dogs. We met prior to the dates so they would be more comfortable with him. During their stay with him, we were in constant contact, so I knew they were in good hands. He was sending videos, pics, and texts to let me know how they were doing. They had plenty of walks and play time. When I picked them up, Oscar described my dogs' personalities and behavior like he knew them for years. He was so attentive and caring to them. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dog sitter. I will definitely be reaching out to him the next time I need a sitter!”
“We are so~ thrilled to have found JK! She lives in a great gated community where she can easily gives walks! Loved all the amazing photos and videos! Thank you for the updates and letting us know how he’s doing! I know Ollie had a great time home away from home! :)”
“Eunice was absolutely amazing! She exceeded all of our expectations with her thorough communications and level of care provided to our beloved Corgi. Not only did she followed all the care instructions for our pup, she went the extra miles to make Muncie feel loved and spoiled - taking her on social outings and hikes to keep her entertained! She sent us daily photos and detailed updates, which gave us such peace of mind during those 7 nights we were away. Our dog felt right at home with Eunice. She is definitely our go-to sitter from now on! Thank you, Eunice, for taking such great care of Muncie!”
“Wen & her family are amazing!! My 2 dogs loved being at her place and I can tell they were happy being there when I came to pick them up. Wen even groomed them as well- I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trusted Rover! :)”
“I'm so grateful to SaeWon who was incredibly flexible with my last minute request and schedule changes. She was so kind and patient with me, and she treated Piper with an abundance of love and care from the moment I dropped her off, to picking her up as she was being held like a baby in the arms of SaeWon's son. My Piper has terrible separation anxiety, but I can tell she was having a wonderful time from all the pictures and videos SaeWon sent throughout the day. She really gave me peace of mind that my baby was in good hands and being loved like their own.”
“This is our second time with Mika. She took care of our nervous Jindo for 5 days during Fourth of July holiday. She went above and beyond to make sure our dog was comfortable. Her family also walked and engaged with our dog which warmed my heart. We’re so happy we have found Mika. She’s amazing!”
“Jennie and Bennie are fantastic sitters! I know my Winston can be a little sassy, Jennie and Bennie are super patient with him. He's not one to cuddle with others but he always end up cuddling with them. Your cat will be loved and spoilt.”
“Our 7 month old Border Collie had a great time with David. I received periodical updates and pics of our furry kid. I couldn't be happier with David's service. Will definitely have her stay with this family when the need arises again.”
“The most attentive and respectful pup sitter you are going to find. She took a her job very seriously and she keeps you update of everything happening with your fur baby. So glad to find her and trust our girl with her.”
“Doug took care of our dogs as if they were his own. He frequently communicated their status and shared photos of them during their stay. He is very accommodating of any special needs. We highly recommend Doug and plan to request him next time we need pet sitting.”
“Tina is a wonderful dog sitter. We left our golden doodle and corgi in her care for over two weeks. She sent pictures and updates every day and we could tell they were in great care and having a wonderful time at her home. Look forward to using her services again in the future.”
“2nd stay for the pup w/ Allison, and it was even better than the last! She sent consistent photos & updates - we were surprised (& happy) to hear that Zen also got along w/ her cat, Kenya! ☺️ Allison will definitely be a go-to sitter in the future!”
“Mickey did an amazing job dog sitting our 11 month old puppy! She would text us photos and videos periodically of our pup playing with his other furry friends - it seems like he had a blast! We’ll definitely be leaving him with Mickey again, he really loved his stay :)”
“Junping watched our 14 year old Boston Terrier for three days and she was amazing! She sent many pictures and videos and made sure he was walked plenty. I can say that we have found our new “go to” dog sitter for when we leave town. Thank you very much!!”
“We contacted Olga about boarding our Sheepadoodle for 4 days. Olga is super responsive and recommended a meet up prior to booking. During Lucy's stay with Olga, Olga sent daily photos of Lucy. It looked like Lucy was having a relaxing time! We are definitely looking forward to booking with Olga again when we need to board Lucy. Thank you for taking such good care of our Lucy :)”
“she's really the best! My dog is very sensitive and timid and does not adapt well to new environments and strangers. But my dog has adjusted very well in her home and he had a comfortable time with no problems. Her house was clean, quiet and safe. I feel comfortable going on my trips without taking my dog because of her. I will leave my dog with her again. Thank you, Joanna!!!”
“Booked Thavery for 8 day boarding. She sent photos and updates of Harold on a daily basis. I felt at ease while Harold was in her care; she walks several times a day. And he likes hanging out with her Dexter, good company. I highly recommend!”
“This was our first experience with Rover and leaving Miko with anyone outside of family. We were admittedly nervous about how Miko would react to being left with people she didn’t know, but as soon as Dylan (Kaylee’s husband) opened the door, she bounded into their townhouse and would have run up the stairs if she wasn’t on a leash. All of our anxiety melted away at that moment, knowing that Miko was immediately comfortable in her “vacation home”. Kaylee sent pictures and messages every day and seeing Miko so engaged and happy made our vacation even better. I couldn’t have asked for a better fit for Miko and am very thankful that they were available to take care of her last week. We will request Kaylee and Dylan every time we need a dog sitter in the Irvine area.”

Olha took wonderful care of our two corgi girls during our recent vacation. From the start, she made them feel comfortable and at ease, which gave us tremendous peace of mind—especially since one of our girls tends to be anxious when we're away. She communicated clearly about their needs, routines, and daily activities, keeping us informed and reassured throughout our trip. It was obvious that she genuinely cared about their well-being and made sure they stayed on their normal schedule. Olha provided excellent care and ensured they received consistent exercise and attention every day. We came home to two happy, healthy dogs, and we couldn't be more grateful. We highly recommend Olha to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive dog sitter.
Niloofar was so kind with our very energetic 4 yr old lab. We got photos and vids every day and could tell she had been out with him letting him run off his energy. She also gave him vibes to chew on out of her own stash. Would choose her to babysit him any time I have to leave town again. Thank you Niloofar.
We had Willow board with Sarah and Noah for over a week. They are a wonderful, kind family and took great care of Willow while we were on vacation. They sent us pictures and updates of Willow while we were away and we could tell that Willow was very happy, engaged, and comfortable in their care! We will definitely consider them in the future should we need a dog sitter and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a good, reliable, and trustworthy dog sitter!
Thomas treated Onion with exceptional kindness and care. Onion is a shy and timid dude who takes a bit of time (often days) to warm up and by the time I picked Onion up he had already grown accustomed to being with Thomas. Thomas took great care to follow our feeding instructions since Onion is on a unique diet and gave him all the walk and rest that Onion needs. I would 100% board with Thomas again when we go out of town in the future.
Coco had an amazing time with Kaylee and their pup Ripley. She was very happy and got lots of love and playtime and attention. Kaylee’s communication was very detailed and she sent lots of photos and updates throughout the day that let me know Coco was in great hands. We’ll definitely book Kaylee again!
Loved Olivia! My husband and I don’t leave our baby Bruce away from us for the night only very seldom for some sort of special occasion. So we are always a bit hesitant having someone watch him but Olivia really put our anxiety at ease. Plenty updates with pics and updates how Bruce was adjusting to being with her and her pups. We will defiantly reach out to Olivia when we need Bruciee watched. 🩷🩷🩷
Linda is beyond amazing! I can not recommend her enough. She took care of my fur babies and my home like it was her own. She was in constant communication with me and sent lots of photos. As happy as my pups were that I’m home I know they are going to miss her! Thank you again Linda!❤️
I am so glad I found Rodion and cannot recommend him enough. My dog Kobe who has been with me for 6 years. And up until now, I have only trusted close friends and family members to watch over him when I am out of town. I decided to give Rodion a try and from the very beginning felt very comfortable with him. Rodion takes plenty of photos to provide reassurance that everything went smoothly with the stay. He is extremely responsive and has always made the process as seamless as possible. I will continue to use Rodion with confidence and feel so relieved knowing that my precious baby will always have someone that will care for them when I am away. 🙏🏼
We couldn't be happier with the care Lily receives with Jackie! Over the past year, Jackie's hosted Lily for multiple overnight staycations, and Lily has enjoyed every single one. It's become a home away from home for her. From the very first stay, Jackie kept us completely at ease with multiple updates throughout the day that let us know exactly how Lily was doing. It makes being away so much easier knowing we're always in the loop. Jackie goes out of her way to encourage Lily to socialize and play with the other dogs in her care. Lily always comes home happy, well-exercised, and clearly having had a wonderful time.
She is an amazing dog sitter. She took great care of my little buddy and slowly introduced him to other dogs to play with and he came home happy and exhausted after 3 days. She is by far the best review dog sitter in the area so she barely needs my review but she is really impressive and it's worth saying and celebrating.
I always worry about leaving my now 4-yr old shih tzu who is temperamental and has separation anxiety in another’s care. Saewon and her family accepted my Oslo with no hesitation. They sent me text updates, pix and videos that re-assured me my boy was in good hands. Gamsahamnida (thank you) Saewon and Ian for welcoming and taking good care of Oslo! ‘Til next time!
Allison was so wonderful!! She arranged a meet and greet beforehand and was so accommodating to our travels for pick up and drop off. Hiro had such a good time playing with Moose and cuddling with Allison! I received many updates with photos and videos while we were away- and Hiro always looked like he was right at home. Thank you Allison and Moose!
