“Coco loves Ana and her husband! They really treat her like they would their own pup. They are super accommodating to her needs as an anxious dog with separation anxiety, and I know she loves the extra affection and attention that they give her while she stays with them. This is Coco’s second time staying with them, and we would book again with Ana!”

“Araceli was great with my two corgis. She kept me updated throughout my time away with pictures and videos. My doggos had the best time and I plan to rebook with her the next time I need a sitter.”
“Winston had a wonderful time staying with Xochi. She sent me regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Our pup was so happy when we picked him up. We will definitely be booking with Xochi again!”


“Sophie had the absolute best time with Sarah and Taylor and their pup Mango! They sent so many fun updates and I rested easy knowing she was in good hands. I think my dog might have had more fun on “vacation” than I did! We will definitely be back to play 🐾”

“William and his wife did a great job of taking care of our dogs! Sent us plenty of pictures and kept in touch throughout our dogs stay. We will definitely be using again in the future!”

“Samantha took really good care of our pet on such a short notice. I heard back from her within the first five minutes. She sent multiple photos and took our dog on plenty of walks.

“Felicia was amazing with my dog, Beans! She was very accommodating with pick-up and drop-off, sent great pictures and updates, and took such good care of him. Beans is shy at first, but Felicia was patient and took the time to help him warm up. Would definitely book with her again!”

“Madyson was great! She asked lots of questions that showed she adapted her care to my pup. She took tons of photos & Sadie came home nice and tired. Would recommend!”

About: Hey there, I’ve been taking care of dogs for 10 years now, and will definitely make sure they have all the attention they need! I’ve been around dogs all my life and know how to deal with dogs of all different sizes and ages as well. I’ve fostered 14 dogs before so I know exactly how to make sure they are having a wonderful time and are safe the whole time! I work from home and have a pretty relaxed schedule so I can take them out to the park/walks/jogs/car rides/ bathroom breaks multiple times a day depending on how much activity you would like your dog/dogs to get! My main goal is to make your dog/dogs as comfortable so they won’t even know their real mom or dad is not there. I have a ready to go kit for any small emergencies equipped with all the sprays bandages/or any small medical devices I would need. I have my primary vet on speed dial as well if any emergency should happen in which you will be immediately notified and kept up to date. I strive to make sure you and your pets are 110% comfortable with me and the environment they are in so they can feel safe at all times!
“Pam was great with our dog Bentley! She was easy to communicate with from day one, clearly a dog lover, and kept us updated on how he was doing. It was a bonus for me that Bentley got to spend time with her dog Xotchil and they went to a dog park daily. I would highly recommend Pam to others and I’m sure we’ll use her in the future again.”


About: I’ve had a dog in my home since I was 3. I’ve taken care of pups at all ages and all stages, I will love yours like I love mine. I believe they all deserve the best in life! I work from home so with them all day and close to a park for plenty of walks and outside time. I also have a dog who loves having guests and friends visit! I have a fairly spacious apartment and allow dogs to be on furniture and sleep with me and my pup. If you prefer crate I can accolade that as well!
“Just picked up my pup from Robin & Rahn. They sent daily pics and videos and it was obvious that Freddie loved his stay with them. I felt so comfortable leaving him with them and will use their services again, if I need too.”

“Theresa was absolutely wonderful! She was so kind, communicative and just so understanding throughout the entire stay. She sent lots of pictures and updates, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Our dog had an absolute blast with her and came home happy and well cared for. We would definitely trust Theresa again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”

This was Franklin’s first time staying with Xóchitl so he was a bit anxious the first day and night but she was communicative and kept me updated once he was settled in. She sent lots of pictures which showed he was having a good time cuddling and relaxing on blankets and begging for food 😛 she has a nice home and outdoor space was nice. Xóchitl was great!

Jordan was absolutely amazing with Chase. She provided frequent updates, photos, and videos throughout his stay, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear from the start that she genuinely cared about him and paid close attention to his needs. I’ve already booked my my dog’s next stay with her, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of my boy! 🐾❤️
Felicia was amazing with our 13 year old dog, Oscar. He has a lot of anxiety and is very dependent on me especially in his old age, so we don’t leave him very often and are always nervous when we do. She updated us often with messages and pictures, gave him the best attention and care, and provided so much peace of mind while we were away. Oscar warmed up to her quickly, which is rare for him and really speaks to how comfortable and safe she made him feel. It was clear that she genuinely cared about him and treated him like her own. We are so grateful for the care she gave our boy and will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you, Felicia! 🐾💙

I cannot recommend her enough. The amount of care and love she has for my baby girl is truly unmatched. When an unexpected situation came up, she didn’t hesitate to keep my dog for an additional four days beyond what was originally planned.Throughout the entire stay, she kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It’s obvious that she genuinely loves and cares for the dogs she watches as if they were her own.The relief, comfort, and trust she provided during a stressful time meant more to me than I can put into words. My girl was happy, well cared for, and loved the entire time. This was by far the best dog-sitting experience I’ve ever had, and I will absolutely be booking with her everytime and all the time .

Jazzy was an amazing caregiver for my dog, I loved the area immediately and knew that my dog would love it too. My dog was excited to see her, and when I picked him up, remained calm, letting me know that he felt at peace the entire time. Definitely looking forward to rebooking again, thank you so much!

Madyson took care of our 2 dogs for four days, and she was fantastic. She sent multiple updates and photos every day, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and she was flexible and easy to work with throughout the entire process, including drop-off. It was clear that she genuinely enjoyed spending time with our dogs and cared about them as if they were her own. We came home to two happy pups, and we’d absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!

Mariana was amazing! She accepted my last-minute request and kept me updated with photos and messages. Thanks to her excellent care, I was able to take care of an urgent matter with complete peace of mind. I’m so grateful for her kindness and would happily book with her again.

Savannah is a lovely and kind person who is undoubtedly warm and sweet with dogs. Before our trip, she proposed on having a meet and greet, so we had a chance to get acquainted and for Jasper to get familiar with the place. This gave us a lot of peace of mind as we were able to see that her apartment was very organized, clean, and safe for pets. It was great traveling while knowing that Jasper was in great hands. During our trip, she sent us lots of pictures and videos of Jasper throughout his stay, in which he looked really happy and cared for. He received lots of play and cuddles, walks, and we could tell he loved being there, as he followed Savannah everywhere. He looked really calm and relaxed when we picked him up, so we could tell they really bonded. Savannah’s care and communication were excellent from our very first contact through the moment we picked Jasper up. We would definitely recommend Savannah to anyone looking for boarding for their pets. We plan on leaving Jasper with her every time we travel in the future :)

This was first time using Rover and Carolina made the experience so easy and stress free. My dog is a small, shy, senior girl 🥲 so you can imagine my worry. Carolina was so caring and accommodating with my girl. Seeing photos of my dog throughout the day helped me too. Don’t hesitate to book with Carolina, she is wonderful!
