“Literally do not know what I would do without Mariyana. She’s super flexible and accommodating when it comes to my busy work schedule. She’s also the only one that gets my doggie to eat.”
“Ashley was absolutely amazing! Pip and Heidi had a fantastic time together! Ashley was great at providing photos and updates the entire stay! Will be using her again in the future!!!”
“Archie had a great time playing while he was staying over. I got many pictures and videos throughout the day that I really appreciated. Overall it was a great experience!”
“Theo had a great time with Dylan! It always makes me nervous when I leave town, but Dylan was so great and helped me feel at ease while I was out of town.”
“My German shepherd puppy loved boarding with Erica! She seems well versed with a lot of breeds, small or large. Her constant reassurance through unlimited photos/videos truly helped. Would rebook again :)”
“This was my first time using the service and I am so glad I found Selen! She took real good care of my senior dog and sent me updates pics daily. I would book her again for sure.”
“Kelsey is so accommodating with my aging Vizsla, who is getting more anxious as she ages. Molly loved sniffing around the gated front yard and playing with Kelsey's pooch. I appreciate Kelsey's patience and willingness to 'go with the flow' when Molly refused to cooperate with walks around the block. (again, Molly's anxiety). I plan to board with Kelsey again!”
“I booked Andres services again after our first very positive experience! In all the photos Andrea sent, I could so clearly see how comfortable my senior wiener Peggy was at her house. I had not one worry about my dog when I was on my trip. Andrea will be our first choice for the next time we need a sitter!”
“Alicia cared for my dog like she was her own. She kept us posted on her general wellbeing and sent lots of pictures and videos. Her dogs are also great and seemed very happy. Thank you, Alicia.”
“Randy was absolutely incredible with RYKER! I was going through a lot and needed someone I could truly trust, and Randy exceeded every expectation. RYKER isn’t an easy pup—he’s epileptic, highly anxious, and has major trust issues—but Randy handled him with such patience, care, and compassion. It honestly felt like a miracle to find someone who not only understood RYKER’s needs but also created a calm, safe space for him to feel secure. Randy was communicative, gentle, and completely unshaken by any challenges. 10/10—would book again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Randy, for being exactly who RYKER (and I) needed.”
“Michelle was absolutely wonderful with Xavi! I usually judge people based on how much my dog likes them. My dog stayed with her a few times and every time he sees her it’s like he forgets I exist 😂 he absolutely loves her!”
“Leslie was really great with our pups. She was super accommodating to any needs we had and always sent us pictures. We felt at ease leaving them with her and knew that they were in great hands. When we got the pups back they looked like they had an awesome time and were very happy. I can’t wait for them to stay with Leslie again and would highly recommend her :)”
“Thank you for taking such good care of my boyz! And for letting us pick them up sooo late at night after crazy delays in our flights AND our Uber. I so appreciate your care for my 2 Yorkies! I highly recommend Adrion!!”
“I’ve used Marika twice now and both times have been wonderful! She is attentive to Kace’s needs, sends pictures, and dedicates ample time for play. Kace loves other dogs, so he has a blast spending time with Marika & Suki. I’ll definitely continue using her for future sittings.”
“My pet was very happy and taken care of! It was like I went on a vacation and she did too. They have a nice backyard and made sure she got plenty of love. Super nice and friendly people and easy going. I was nervous my dog would be anxious being somewhere else and hate it but she seemed to love it. Would def recommend and book again.”
“Cassandra and her kids loved watching g Bo & Parker—they are doing Rover to test different breeds of dogs to see what kind they want to get for the family. Very cheerful and response. Always enjoy pics getting pics of the pups. Will use her again.”
“Owen was great. Very responsive and my pup seems to enjoy his time while we were aware. My only ask in the future is that he provides pictures throughout the day. Otherwise, we will definitely be booking with Owen again.”
“Asha was amazing with my dog, Sir! I dropped him off at her house for 5 nights, and she made sure he felt right at home. She sent daily updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Sir looked happy and comfortable the whole time, and it was clear he was well cared for. I would absolutely book with Asha again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, reliable sitter!”
