“Ronald was a fantastic dog sitter! He had a meet & greet with us beforehand to see how our dog would get along with the other dogs to make sure she was comfortable. His communication was excellent too! He sent pictures with updates throughout the whole stay. I highly recommend him.”
“Jenny took very good care of Harley at her home as she would her own dog. Her dog Lucky, also a German Shepherd, quickly became friends with Harley and they went on walks together to the park. Thank you Jenny!”
“Annie & Ty are amazing! Your dog will feel home with them. Their care for our dog was above and beyond. If they’re available, book them, don’t hesitate!”
“I cannot thank Diana enough for the incredible care she gave my senior dog, Dexter, while I was away on my honeymoon. Dexter has some health concerns, and I was nervous about being gone for so long, but Diana’s experience with older dogs and her calm, caring nature immediately put me at ease. Her communication was outstanding — she kept me updated regularly with messages and videos, so I always knew how Dexter was doing. It was clear she truly cared for him as if he were her own. I came home to a happy, healthy pup, and I could tell he had been in loving hands the entire time. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and experienced — especially for senior pets — Diana is the one. I would absolutely trust her with Dexter again in a heartbeat!”
“We had a short weekend trip and needed someone to watch our pup, Miso. Angela was very quick to communicate and flexible with scheduling, which made everything super easy. Miso was well taken care of, and I’d definitely book with her.”
“Max spent four days with Norma. This was his third time. As with the other times, Max showed how fond he is of Norma both before (he remembered her) and after. The photos were great, too. Norma is our go-to sitter for Max.”
“I can’t recommend Michelle and Steve enough! They took such amazing care of Uni while we were away. Michelle kept us updated almost daily with photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. They were incredibly attentive to Uni’s needs and made sure he was comfortable and happy. Their dog, Daisy, is wonderfully well-tempered and such a sweet companion—safe and friendly to be around. It’s clear Michelle and Steve are true dog lovers who treat every pup like family. I would absolutely use their services again without hesitation!”
“Corinne and Christopher are great Rover sitters. They were very responsive to messages and most importantly took great care of my girl Busaba. I felt like she was in good hands. I would definitely recommend them and would use them again.”
“Hanna was amazing! She sent many pictures of their walks and videos of them playing with Bigsby. Both of our dogs loved being there and we were able to enjoy our vacation knowing they were happy.”
“Tanya and Josh were great! Billie Jean was in great spirits when i picked her up and i loved that they sent me frequent pictures and messages! Will definitely book with them again as Billie Jean seemed to have a blast!”
“We just used Gelare and Sama for the first time while we traveled for a week. Upon our meet and greet I could tell that they were warm and gentle, just the kind of people I knew my dog would be happy with. Everyday we were away they would send pictures, videos and messages with updates. They truly loved and cared for our fur baby the way we do. We are so grateful to have found them and will definitely be using them again when we travel. I would absolutely recommend anyone else wanting to use them.”
“Marina was so sweet! She took care of Rey for ~12 days because we had a family trip. Marina gave us daily photos/videos and it looked like Rey had such a great time with Marina’s dogs. She answered quickly when I had any questions and even did training with Rey! Thank you Marina!”
“Mayank is incredible with my sweet Daisy girl. I have boarded with them more than once, and I always receive regular updates & pictures. Daisy has the time of her life.”
“Lisa and her family were so lovely with our pandemic pup, Lily, who has lots of social anxiety. She was only there for an evening, but still got lots of play time, snuggles, and even a walk. We received photos throughout the night, which really helped anxious mom and dad too. Thanks so much, Lisa!”
“So thankful to have found Ting and Bob! They took wonderful care of our sweet girl Mochi and sent pictures and updates through her overnight stay. :)”
“This us Tessa’s favorite place to stay away from home. We miss her when we our away, but we are confident that she is safe and happy while at Angela’s. Thank you so much for taking care of our girl!”
“Calvin and Tiffany were great.My dog had some issues and they did a super job. My dog is 13 years old and has never been away from me. I felt she was in really good hands and I highly recommend them.”
“It just can't get any better than Lisa taking care of your four legged loved one. Zazzle was showered with love. Not only by Lisa but her sons girlfriend. I received numerous photo's of Zazzle and a video son's girlfriend took. Walks, belly rubs, hugging which Zazzle LOVED. I was so HAPPY Zazzle was a pampered. Lisa takes one dog at a time. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you leave you precious pooch with Lisa.”

Lisa took a great care of my 17 weeks old puppy. Even tho Mocha had a difficult time potting when it rained outside, Lisa was patient with her and tried everything to ensure she didn’t just potty anywhere in the house. When I picked up Mocha, I noticed she was even calmer than before and she was heeling better as well.
Bihua is amazing! She took care of our 11-year-old little poodle over Thanksgiving weekend and did an incredible job. She sent us multiple pictures every day and kept us updated on Kiki’s status the entire time. Communication was great and she was very accommodating. We strongly recommend her and will definitely send Kiki back to her again!
Sudha was amazing with our pup, Jasper! Her pup, Chelsea, is super friendly and got along great with him. Sudha kept us updated every day with messages and photos, which we really appreciated. She’s kind, reliable, and someone you can truly trust to take great care of your pup.
I just used Nithya's dog sitting serve and am very happy with her care. She is very responsive, send me multiple pictures of my dog and took a very good care of her. I highly recommend her and definitely take my dog back to her when the need comes. Her dog also is very friendly and my dog enjoyed her company. Thank you Nithya
I cannot recommend Barath highly enough! Leaving my beloved dog, Snow, with someone new always comes with a bit of anxiety, but from the moment I dropped him off, I knew he was in the best possible hands. It was immediately clear that [Dog Boarder's Name] didn't just look after Snow; they welcomed him into their home and treated him like one of their own. The regular updates, photos, and videos I received showed a truly happy and content dog. Snow was clearly having the time of his life, whether he was playing with Dobby or on a walk or just relaxing. He looked so comfortable and joyful, which completely put my mind at ease. Throughout Snow's stay, I didn't have to worry about a single thing. Barath handled everything with professionalism and genuine care, anticipating his needs and ensuring he felt loved and secure. Coming home to a happy, well-adjusted dog who clearly enjoyed his "vacation" as much as I enjoyed mine was the best feeling.
