“Rowena is the BEST dog sitter around. The love and attention she shows to our dog is unmatched. She is very caring and thoughtful, and we look forward to her regular updates while we are gone. We cannot say enough great things about her. Simply amazing! Thanks again!”
“Weiyue was very awesome to our dog Ace. She kept me updated every single day which I really appreciated. We will definitely be using her again. Thank you so much for watching Ace Weiyue!”
“So thankful for Kristina and her family! They treat my baby girl like their own and always update me with photos and videos. Every photo I get she looks so happy and loved. They’re pretty far from where I live and I would still rather make the drive to leave truffle with them than leave her with someone closer. I couldn’t ask for a better family to sit my dog.”
“The BEST sitter I’ve found for my Remy. Marisa is such a sweet person and my Remy still misses her. She sent beautiful pictures every single day, took Remy to the park daily, etc. I couldn’t be happier with her service and I definitely found Remy a regular sitter, that’s if she isn’t so booked.”
“Ruth treated out Anakin with care and did a wonderful job keeping us updated daily. 100% would recommend her service and will definitely be calling here again in the future.”
“Ara is a lovely sitter, she sent me pictures and videos during Sophie's day care, she had patience with her and introduced very well her lovely dog to Sophie. I already booked with Ara for a boarding and I know that Sophie will be in a really good hands! Thank you so much Ara!”
“Lacey was an absolutely amazing dog sitter! From the moment we met, I could tell she genuinely loves and cares for animals. She provided regular updates and adorable photos of my senior dachshund, which gave me peace of mind while we were away. Cameron came home happy and tired from the constant play with the other pups at Lacey’s home. It’s clear she went above and beyond to ensure Cameron was comfortable and loved. I will definitely be booking with Lacey again—highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”
“Patricia was amazing! Phoebe and Larry were so well taken care of and loved. She sent us pics and updates every day and even took them on daily walks. It was so comforting to know that our dogs were safely with Patricia so them at we could enjoy our vacation without worrying about them. We will definitely use Patricia again and highly recommend her to all that are needing someone to care for their dogs.”
“We just got our dog back home from Shanaz . I would totally recommend her take care of your pet .She would care for them as her own . She even fed my dog by hand for days when he was not eating because he was in a new place . Thanks a lot Shanaz for this pleasant experience for us and Titto .”
“Beatriz was great with my dogs. She sent several pics and videos throughout the visit which helped me feel good about having a sitter. Most importantly the dogs looked relaxed and happy in all the photos. She and her family took great care of my girls!”
“Vicki was great. She kept communications throughout our dogs stay and sent plenty of pictures. Our dog is fairly new to the experience so she was super patient with Kolache. He was very happy 😊”
“Reagan and her family did an excellent job taking care of our 2 dogs while we went on a post Christmas family vacation. Their attention to detail and care they took was second to none. We greatly appreciate it and we know we have a great, trustworthy option to care for our other kids in the future! 😁”
“Gobi had a great time with Neel, Geetika and Keya. We got constant updates about him with pictures and videos. He also got to Harry new treats to celebrate international pet day. Thank you so much for taking such good care of him. We truly appreciate it. We will surely be requesting a stay again.”
“Lola & Jax had a great time with there over night stay. They were exhausted when they got home and they got to play a lot and swim. Would definitely recommend this family.”
“Andrea was amazing!!! It’s always hard leaving my fur baby behind but she definitely put me at ease. I accidentally booked one day short for Tiny’s stay but she was able to make arrangements last minute for me. She was very active with my pup by taking him to the dog park, walks at the park, and playing outside with toys. I will most definitely be booking her in the future!”
“I have been through a couple of sitters on here for various reasons which led me to having trust issues when it came to finding one for our fur baby, Marshy. We have an older dog with multiple health issues and anxiety so you can imagine how challenging it was for me to find someone that could take care of her the way we do. I set up a video call with Chelsea to get to know each other better and felt comfortable moving forward after that. We booked her for over a week while we were on vacation and never have I felt so much peace leaving Marshy with anyone! Chelsea provided updates, was able to follow her feeding/medication schedule and provide adequate exercise for her. You can tell she genuinely loves your pet. She also bathed her for only $5! When we picked Marshy up she was clean, happy, and visibly well taken care of. Chelsea is now our go-to sitter and I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Great sitter, she sent updates and pictures of my old buddy every day, she provided a cozy place for him to chill while at her place, my pet had a little health issue after the boarding was completed, probably due something he ate and she keep checking in every day to make sure he was doing better. Would recommend her if you need someone to look after your pet”

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.
Ricardo has done an amazing job with watching Rosie. His communication is top notch, and he always made sure to check in with me and show me updates of Rosie and how she’s doing with pictures and videos each day which helped to put my mind at ease. He was very thorough and asking about different ways to better care for Rosie and make her stay even more comfortable. During drop off and also beforehand. Environment is very clean as well. I definitely have a recommend him to watch your furry animal. He’s also very nice.
