“Barbara, thank you for always taking such good care of our senior Yorkie, Dallas. We can tell how comfortable he feels staying, with you and it means a lot to us.”
“Nitya and her partner took great care of Winston and took him on long walks. They were also very flexible and accommodating. We are asking them to help Winston again next week.”
“Ferris had another great stay with Angel. Angel always communicates well throughout the stay with lots of photos, videos, and updates, and Ferris has so much fun playing with other dog friends while there. We plan to continue having Ferris stay with Angel in the future!”
“OMG she was wonderful. Her space was nice and clean she checked in everyday with me I was running late she assured me it was ok my dog went on play dates and much more. I would definitely be using her every time.”
“Dayana was so flexible with me my flight got canceled last minute and I was late to pick them up due to traffic and she was willing to wait for me. She provided me with constant videos and feedback and my puppies looked like they had a blast and were well taken care of. Would book with her again!”
“Ann had kept my 2 dogs at least 3 times this year and she is the absolute best. My pups love her, she has so much experience, and I never have to worry about something happening or going wrong when they are with her. On top of that she is very kind, compassionate and flexible. Can’t wait for our next stay!”
“Best experience ever. I was extremely nervous about leaving my dog at first, but Latasha made me feel comfortable. She was able to accommodate my last minute booking and sent photo updates throughout.”
“This couple saved my life. I’m always worried about going out of town and my dog not liking the kennel at those boarding places. I love the professional pictures and updates every day around the same time. I was able to enjoy myself fully with no worries. This is a very professional couple and I’d recommend them to anyone. I love them.”
“Sarah was excellent! She sent us photos and updates of our dog Gus while we were out of the country for two weeks. She was understanding and able to care for our senior dog with special needs. Would highly recommend!”
“Simply the best! This is our first time leaving our Bruno with a dog sitter and Christina made it so comforting and easy for us. Great communication and her love of animals is evident by her care. 5+ 🐾”
About: I’ve taken care of my own dog and cat for 7 years and before then was the go to sitter for all my friends with pets! I’m also a PhD student in psychology working in animal behaviors. Since young, I understand animals and respect them: how we treat them influences their behaviors. I’ve got the heart and the training to give your babies the best care they deserve when you are away! My schedule is flexible as long as we communicate in advance. My weekdays are mostly spent at home for academic work, and can adjust for drop in visits easily. I have a comfy apartment with one dog and one cat. They’ll keep your baby company if you board with us. I’m skilled in introducing new animals to each other, I try to adjust to each animals temperaments. For all services, I appreciate your tips as you know them the best!
“Jasmine was amazing from the initial booking to the drop off & ALL throughout the 1st visit for my lil guy. The daily update with beautiful & happy photos were definitely a true testament to her quality of care, concern, & love displayed for my dog. I’ve already booked several more boarding stays to ensure confirmation! Thank you Jasmine for all that you for our lil B.!!”
“Wendy has stayed multiple times with Matthew and Michelle and she is very well taken care of! They are super responsive and Wendy always looks relaxed and happy there in the photos they send!”
“Izzy was wonderful! I was very nervous about leaving Gerdoo with someone I didn’t know because she is so attached to me. Izzy was very understanding and made me feel comfortable. She sent me updates and pictures throughout the stay, and seeing Gerdoo lying next to another dog was so heartwarming. I would definitely trust Izzy with her again.”

Matthew and Leslie did a wonderful job taking care of Ronan! It is clear that they genuinely love what they do, and that makes all the difference. Knowing Ronan was in the care of people who truly enjoy and care about animals gave me such peace of mind. I appreciate the love, attention, and care they provided. I would absolutely recommend Matthew and Leslie to anyone looking for trustworthy, compassionate pet sitters. Thank you both for taking such great care of Ronan.
Dara was so great with our Nolan. This was the first time he had done any overnight and away time from us since we adopted him early this year. She was super accommodating around drop and pick up time to ensure he would have time to acclimate. He also can be reactive with other dogs and was extremely mindful of this while taking him on walks. We received daily updates and pics to assure us that he was doing well. We feel like we struck gold with Dara!
Kendra is SUPERB!!! She’s very communicative when it came to our dog (bliss). We appreciate all the care and great attention that she paid bliss!! You can tell that Kendra LOVES what she’s does!!! At this point I can’t see myself booking no one else but Kendra!!! Again, thank you for caring for bliss as if he was your own puppy! WE APPRECIATE YOU!
After doing a meet and greet with Danielle I felt very comfortable with boarding my dog, Miller with her. I liked that she would provide a cageless and friendly environment for him. Danielle and her family were nice to Miller and enjoyed having him. She was good about following his daily routine and provided a picture to show he was doing fine. She also accommodated us by providing a leash and bags, as we forgot ours. I will definitely board Miller with Danielle again.
Alejandra was very great with my cats. They can be very shy, but they were very comfortable with her and her pets. She kept me updated about how their days were and sent pictures and videos every chance she got. I highly recommend anyone who needs a sitter to book her, your pets will be in good hands!
Karina went above and beyond to make our dog Tlali feel right at home and us more than comfortable with leaving her with someone else for the first time since we've adopted her. We're always stressed about vetting people for things like this and Karina made it a no-brainer to choose her. We're now much less stressed about needing to find Tlali care and looking forward to Karina helping us in the future!
We had a wonderful experience with our Rover sitter, Jim! He boarded our 5 month old American Eskimo puppy, Millie, over the busy Fourth of July weekend and we couldn't have been happier with the care he provided. This was our puppy's first time away from home and he made it such a positive experience! Thank you!
Olivia kept my baby Leah for the weekend while I went out of town, and I was honestly nervous because anyone who knows me knows how I feel about my baby. But Olivia was amazing. She sent tons of pictures and updates the whole time, which really helped me relax. She even gave Leah extra treats and sent her home with some too. I ended up needing to extend my trip unexpectedly, and Olivia was super understanding and flexible about it. That meant a lot to me. Leah was clearly well taken care of and loved while she was there. Olivia will forever be my baby’s home whenever I’m away. I’m so grateful I found her!

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
