“Diana was absolutely fabulous and wonderful host. Mimi had an amazing time with her and her furry pals. We got regular updates (pictures and videos ) and Diana kept us in loop at all times with her food intake , walks and how things were progressing. I would love to leave Mimi again with her if there any such opportunity, as I know and trust Diana.”

“Our pup who is often overly shy with new dogsitters easily adjusted to Cori and Chris (her quickest transition so far as she was snoring on the couch within the first hour). They are both so welcoming, patient, and kind— we already have our second stay booked. Sophie gives her first stay two paws up!”

“Greg and Kat were so wonderful with my dog Mando! It was my first time using Rover for my dog and I was a bit nervous but they kept me updated the entire time with lots of pictures. He always looked well cared for. Highly recommend!”


“Ankea understands dogs so well - and is super kind and gentle with them. My dog is a rescue and not the easiest to deal with. She won him over instantly. Thank you for your kindness and care!”

“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”

“Scott and Lori were amazing with our frenchie Wally and communicated with us daily while we were on vacation. It was so great to see photos and videos while we were away; it really made us feel like our dog was in great hands all week. They also went above and beyond and took Wally to the beach not once, but TWICE in the same week and he loved it!! Thank you for the best boarding experience! I think our dog missed Scott and Lori after we picked him up from his "stay-cation", so that says a lot about his stay in their lovely home. We don't take many vacations but are looking forward to having him stay with Scott and Lori again next time!!!”

“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!”

“We found Demi to be extremely knowledgeable about dogs and she genially loves taking great care of them. Charlie was well taken care of during his stay and enjoyed hanging out with her beautiful dogs. At the end of the stay our little dog was so attached to her. Going forward we plan on using Demi for all our pet sitting needs. So happy to have found her. I would highly recommend Demi to all my friends and colleagues for their pet sitting needs.”
“Kara was fantastic with our dog. I felt completely at ease knowing she was taking care of him while we were out of town. Lots of walks, attention, daily updates, photos, and homemade treats! I would definitely rebook with her again.”

“Dahui has watched my furry baby several times and I highly recommend her as a dog sitter. Dahui takes her on daily walks and tosses a ball for her which my dog loves. She sends images and videos every day so that I can see how she is doing which I greatly appreciate. It is a great relief to know my furry baby is safe and happy while I am away.”

“Deepika was available for a last minute need to help us keep our dog while we were moving out of our home. She was responsive on text and provide pictures during the day. I would definitely consider her again in the future.”

“Alice & Micah were absolutely the best! Our dog was so happy and comfortable with them. They provided a safe, friendly, and loving home for him. Alice sent me daily updates with pictures. I am very happy and look forward to using them again. They are wonderful.”

“Crystal took care of my dog Charlie very well and I can tell that he was in good hands as soon as we met her. All he likes to do is snuggle and be next to someone and she took the time to be with him and make sure he felt comfortable. He’s a little anxious sometimes, but even when we got him back, there were no signs that he was anxious and he was just as happy as if we never left him. we will certainly consider having Crystal watch him again as they bonded very well. Thank you, Crystal!”


About: I’ve spent over a decade caring for my own dog, a pit bull who was part of my family for 11 years and lived to 15 years old. He faced multiple health challenges over the years, including cancer, and I supported him through every stage of his life. That experience taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to stay calm and consistent, even in more demanding situations. I’m comfortable with medium to large breeds and understand the importance of structure, routine, and a safe, stable environment. I treat every dog with the same level of care and respect I gave my own I’m retired, so I’m home most of the day and able to provide consistent care, attention, and supervision. My wife also works from home, so there is almost always someone present to make sure your dog is safe and comfortable. We’re able to maintain a steady routine with regular potty breaks, feeding, walks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Dogs in our care are rarely left alone and are treated like part of the family. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and secure home environment where dogs are always supervised and cared for. Since I’m retired and my wife works from home, there is almost always someone present, so your dog won’t be left alone for long periods. I take the time to understand each dog’s routine, personality, and needs to ensure they feel safe and comfortable while they’re here. I also keep a close eye on behavior and interactions at all times. My goal is to provide an stress-free, reliable experience so you can feel confident your dog is in good hands. To keep a safe and comfortable home environment, I ask that dogs are house-trained and non-destructive. Owners are responsible for any significant damage caused during a stay.”
“Pebbles loves Gelare and was so happy to see her and her husband. I am so grateful to how well they take care of my fur baby. Pebbles comes home, relaxed and happy.”

“Ronald and his family took care of Callie. They treated her like their own. Photos were provided daily which was great because we missed her so much while we were away. They have their own dogs so that was a plus for us since Callie is still in training. She got along very well with the other dogs.”

“Marta was great! She was super responsive, communicated very well and I could tell my dog was in the best hands. She sent me a ton of photos and videos every day! I will definitely use her again in the future!”

“We couldn't be happier to have found May! As is our mini Bernedoodle, Zoey, who clearly had THE best time while at May's house. May was absolutely wonderful in sending daily updates and photos, which I really appreciated seeing while out of the country, and it was easy to see just how well taken care of Zoey was. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend May and we will for sure be back!”

“Martin and Crystal took great care of our boy Blu! We took a trip for over a week during the holidays and Martin and Crystal were easy to work with and happy to take our fur baby. They have a great setup for dogs and they provide a homely and comfortable atmosphere. Their dogs were also great playmates. I appreciated that they provided updates throughout the week. Blu came home happy and exhausted! I am looking forward to booking with them again and I know Blu is too!!”

Boba and Mocha enjoyed their stay with Johna and Ray. It always gives us so much peace of mind knowing they are in such great and loving care in Johna and Ray's home and they love being the only dogs while getting all the attention from Johna and Ray. We are planning our next booking.

We had such a wonderful experience with Alice & Micah! Right from the meet-and-greet, they made us feel comfortable and reassured that our pup would be in loving, capable hands. We recently moved to San Diego and were looking for a pet sitter when one of our friends recommended them. Before an upcoming long trip, we booked an overnight stay to see how our fur baby would do, and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience. Alice and her family took incredible care of our dog, keeping her happy, safe, clean, and so well loved throughout the stay. It was clear how much affection and attention they gave her. Alice also shared photos and updates throughout the stay, which we truly appreciated. The communication and care gave us complete peace of mind, and we knew right away that our pup would be with a loving family during our travels. Our fur baby came home relaxed, happy, and clearly very well cared for! We’re so grateful to have found someone so trustworthy, responsible, and kind. We highly recommend Alice & Micah to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter!

Angela was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Mitch! She was caring, attentive, and kept us updated with pictures while we were away, which gave us so much peace of mind. Mitch was happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. She also went above and beyond. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and thoughtful sitter!

Vivian took care of our dog for 5 nights. Vivian is a kind, professional person. She is very responsive from beginning to end. She also sent daily updates with pictures. Her thoughtful notes helped reassure us our dog was doing okay and adjusting while we were away. We could tell our dog was comfortable and had an amazing time with her despite him normally having separation anxiety. Her place was quiet, clean, and has access to outdoor for walks and potty breaks. We are happy we found Vivian and would not hesitate to have her care for him again in the future. Highly recommend. Thank you!!

We had an amazing experience with Matthew K ! He was reliable, kind, and truly cared for our dog like their own. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us total peace of mind. Our dog was happy, well-exercised, and clearly comfortable the entire time. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will absolutely book again. Highly recommended!
