Desi and Marilyn took wonderful care of Kirby. They sent us photos and videos to keep us updated during Kirby’s stay. They really put our mind at ease because Kirby had never stayed with anyone before. They have an awesome property that is perfectly set up for dogs. We highly recommend Desi and Marilyn!

Yesenia took excellent care of my five-year-old French Bulldog, Lewis. I’d give 6 stars if I could. I’m thoroughly satisfied with her service and highly recommend her for any pet care needs you may have.

I had an unexpected need to board my dog Nala for 9 days. Initial outreach in Rover yielded no response due to short notice but I was fortunate to have connected with Funda E. She immediately confirmed her willingness to board my dog. She was incredibly gracious with opening her home and family up to my dog and treated her great. She sent videos to let me know all was in good hands. I would highly recommend Funda E to any dog lover needing her services.

We would give 10 stars if we could! Tricia had our Labrador Retriever/Catahoula Leopard mix Lenny for a little over a week and it was the first time we had ever left him anywhere. At our first meeting, it was clear that Tricia has a tremendous amount of experience and know-how when it comes to dogs, and I knew immediately that we were in great hands. She calmed our nerves and assured us that she would keep us updated while we were away. She helped our guy settle into a routine quickly and she did an extraordinary job handling his food issues (we sent pre-made table food for her to give him). While we were away, she was an excellent communicator and sent us various pictures of him during different times of the day. He looked so happy that we were afraid he wouldn't want to come home! When we picked him up, he was happy, healthy, clean, and showed obvious affection towards Tricia. We are so incredibly relieved that we found her to watch Lenny if and when we need to travel without our boy. With gratitude, from Laura (Lenny's Mom).

We are so incredibly happy with our dog’s experience with Rhea and Michael. They were highly responsive the entire time from the initial booking request to even after picking up our baby from them. It is so clear how much Rhea and Michael love dogs and they showed such great care of my Max from the second they met. They gave us such a peace of mind while we were away for a few days; we didn’t have to worry once if everything was okay. They sent frequent updates and photos which really put us at ease and allowed us to enjoy our trip. Rhea and Michael will be our first call next time we need someone to watch Max!

About: I have years of experience in the caretaking of animals and I’ve always done it with love, my family and friends always trusted me to care for their pets since I was younger and i’ve always enjoyed it. I love every part of taking care of animals whether its grooming, bathing oral medications administration etc… Animals will always hold a special place in my heart. My schedule is very flexible, I usually stay home and do online school work most of the time, so I’m available really anytime on weekdays and sometimes on weekends. I will care for the pets by making sure they are well fed, kept clean and healthy. I live in a very safe neighborhood with a nice park down the street. I have an animal friendly household with fences outside to ensure that the pets wont wander off.

I am so happy to have found Jenny and Geoff! They took wonderful care of my 75-lb dog, Sawyer. After checking to make sure that he’d enjoy it, they gave him lots of play time with their kids and other dogs and treated him to multiple trips to the dog park. He started to show signs of an ear infection the day before I had to drop him off, and they were so kind about cleaning his ears twice a day. And they sent me daily photos and videos of him playing and cuddling. I was pretty sure that he wouldn’t want to come home again! Highly recommend!!

Kun, his wife and their pup Som were incredible hosts to Thor! They were amazing communicators, consistently kept you updated, and were extremely mindful to ask about any health concerns, allergies or tendencies. Thor was very sad to leave them but he will definitely see them again! They also provided us with the cutest Polaroid photo of him and Som! Thank you both so much for allowing Thor to stay with you!!

Elizabeth and Oleg were everything we looked for and found for our dog, Ralph. When we search for somebody to leave him with, that person must have a fenced in yard and be fine to take him on a walk or two each day. It’s what he’s used to now and it’s what we feel most comfortable with when leaving him for an extended period of time. Elizabeth and Oleg provided both of these AND plenty of photos along the way to let us know that Ralph was enjoying his stay. 10/10 would recommend them if you’re looking for somebody to watch your furry friend.

Valarie was an exceptional sitter for Peanut. My wife and I were so pleased with the care Valarie provided during our time away. She was great at keeping us updated with [photos/messages] and we loved hearing how much Peanut enjoyed the plethora of dog beds Val had lol. We especially appreciated how she handled administering his medication, giving extra cuddles, and sticking to our routine. We also appreciate Val accommodating my flight cancelation and making herself available to care for peanut one more day. Peanut came home happy and relaxed, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. We would absolutely book Valarie again in a heartbeat! Thanks again Val for all!!!!

James is amazing—he must be a true dog whisperer! Our dog Ollie struggles with major anxiety, leash reactivity, and general stranger danger. It usually takes him quite a while to warm up to new people, but with James it was instant friendship. James was incredibly patient and understanding with Ollie, and he went above and beyond in his care. He followed all of our instructions perfectly and then some—sending us daily pictures, documenting walks, feedings, and medications. It gave us so much peace of mind to know Ollie was in such good hands. I highly recommend James to anyone looking for a dog sitter, especially if your pup needs a little extra attention or special care. We will absolutely have James stay with Ollie again. Honestly, Ollie was sad to see him go!

Ellie is absolutely amazing. I’ve never had a Dog Sitter in eight years be this attentive and supporting to our dog, she clearly loves all animals and wants them to be comfortable. She noticed my dog was itching his ear and managed to bring him to the vet and get him ear medicine. I’m just blown away that it was so important to her that my dog be comfortable. She asked my permission to bring him and apply the medication that the veterinarian recommended and now he’s all better! I would 100% recommend her and will use her again!
