“We will be booking again soon, I love that she sends you videos and photos often. She even offered to come pick up and drop off our babies when we had a scheduling conflict. She’s great at communicating quickly and keeping you in the loop!”
“I cannot recommend Rowena highly enough! From the moment I left my dog, I knew that he would be well cared for. Communication was fantastic throughout the 10 day stay; since the beginning she was very attentive asking detailed questions about my pet. She also kept us posted with daily reports and pictures. And when I picked up my dog, I could see how well he was cared and loved during his stay. Thank you Rowena for making our first experience with Rover an amazing one, we’ll definitely be back!”
“We felt like our fur babies were taken care of while we were away. Kristina sent us photo updates every day and was very flexible when we had a delay. Will definitely recommend her!”
“I cannot even explain how wonderful Patty was with Bear! I was super worried as I have never left him with anyone but family before. I'm so thankful I found Patty!!! She send updates every day with pictures and videos! Bear was very well taken care of! I will certainly use Patty again.. She is the best!!!”

“Sophie had an AMAZING time with Ms. Ara. She went on daily walks, helped make cupcakes, and made friends with her little dog, Totty. We can be sure of this because Ms. Ara sent daily videos/pictures of Sophie to us by email throughout our vacation. It was very reassuring to see her so comfortable and well taken care of. Thank you, Ms. Ara! It was a wonderful blessing to know Sophie was in such good hands. Can't wait to book our next vacation stay!”
“Shanaz was very very caring, and took care of our Yogi, just like we do at home. I approached Shanaz kind of at the last minute for a 6 day Boarding for Yogi. This was a long time for Yogi to stay away from us and I wanted to make sure of a caring and understanding person. I spoke to her over the phone, and had a gut feeling that Yogi will be fine with her. I went with my instinct and that proved 100% correct. Thank you Shanaz ❤️”
“Mona was so sweet and took such great care of our dog! We were gone for 11 days and never felt anxious about leaving our pup because she consistently kept us updated with pictures and the great times they were having! She was very accommodating and professional! If our dog could talk, she would definitely say to use Mona for dog sitting!”
“We have used Alejandro and Kayla for a year now for boarding or two large dogs and we are very pleased with their service. Alejandro and Kayla are very calm which helps the dogs to settle in well. Thank you both so much!”
“Alison truly treated Udi as if she was a part of her family. I appreciate that she did a meet/greet beforehand to learn Udi’s personality/routine. She sent updates every day that let me know Udi was behaving just as comfortably as she would with our family at home. I felt peace of mind knowing Udi was in kind and caring hands since this was the longest I had been without her. We can’t wait to book with Alison again!”
“It is such a treat to know your little one is well taken care of while you are on holidays. Leaving Bob with Ruth offers peace to us knowing he is in the best hands. I would not leave him with anyone else.”
“My pup looks happy in the pics and she had lots of playtime with other dogs. Gabby has been giving me updates on her. Definitely recommended and will be booking her in the future.”
“Vicky was very communicative and took lots of pictures. She is a true dog lover, and she was very kind because we had a somewhat difficult booking because our puppy was sick. She took tremendous care of him. Your pet will be in good hands!”
“Andrea, took really good care of my dog during the Fourth of July weekend. The Care that she gave him was unmatchable. I really appreciate her and highly recommend her will be a repeat customer.”
“We've left Taco with Chassidy on two separate trips, and we always get the feeling that he's well cared for. We got pictures during the stay, and communication is great. I would not hesitate to use Chassidy for any future boarding needs.”

This is the first time we have ever used Rover so we were a bit nervous about leaving our pup. Shaobi was so good with our pup and her daily pics and videos reassured us that she was in good hands. I highly recommend using Shaobi for anyone wanting a great and caring petsitter. We will definitely be using her again.
I had an exceptional experience with Me Ara From the moment we arrived, it was clear our pet would be in great hands. Communication was excellent, and we received regular updates that gave me peace of mind. Her home was very clean and well-maintained, which made me feel even more comfortable. She also have a huge yard, perfect for exercise and playtime. My pet came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I truly appreciate the attention, patience, and love shown throughout the stay. I would absolutely recommend Ms Ara to anyone looking for a safe, caring, and comfortable environment for their pet. 🐾✨
My girls are always so happy to see Ms. Pat and stay with her and while they are glad to see me when I pick them up they always seem like they would be happy to stay longer. Ms. Pat did an incredible job accommodating changes to their feeding schedule and walk schedule in the middle of the visit and communicated all changes.
