21. Irene A.

“Irene was awesome, very good vibes, a peaceful home setting & my Shih Tzu loved staying with her, playing in her big enclosed yard & going on walks with her, etc. while we were on our family cruise. My fur baby was in good hands with her & I'll definitely board her with Irene the next time we go away!”


22. Karine A.


“If I could give 500000 stars I would!!! We came to Karine with a really unique situation - our pup has serious separation anxiety and had recently suffered the trauma of losing his human. Karine took his unique needs head on and approached the situation which such care. She was deeply patient and proactive, sending us regular updates and photos, making time for a long pick up and drop off session - even trying a ton of different foods and uncovering a likely food allergy. I cannot thank Karine enough for the love she poured into our baby. If your small and gentle dog needs a sitter, you truly will not find anyone more caring or knowledgeable than Karine and Ryan.”




23. Rosediane H.

“This was our dog’s second time staying with Rosediane. This time, he stayed with her for 10 days. Rosediane sent pictures and updates regularly, which we appreciated. Chaz made himself right at home with Rosediane, as soon as we dropped him off, which shows how great Rosediane is and how well cared for my dog feels when he stays with her!”


24. Samantha D.

“Samantha has a love of dogs!! My dog got so excited when he went for his second visit! She also sends great pictures, one of them is one of my Benny’s all time best shot. She responds quickly to communication. I plan on using her a lot.”


25. Melissa V.

“Melissa and her husband watched over my dog, Charlie, while I was out of town for a long weekend. I had recently moved to the area and have not had to use sitters that weren’t family in the past, so Charlie had some heightened anxiety. Melissa was wonderful and patient with Charlie, and helped to ease my stress over Charlie’s anxiety. She treated Charlie like one of her own, provided regular and thorough photos, videos and updates, and went above and beyond to way make him comfortable when he had some tummy issues. Would highly recommend using Melissa for your dog care needs.”

27. Stephanie V.

“Stephanie was great with Boyo. Treated him well and loved on him when he needed the attention. Boyo liked being with the other dogs as well! We would highly recommend Stephanie.”


28. Juan H.

“Juan is a lovely person and clearly cares about and loves all animals. He was great with my dog, who has some accidents and is shy/timid. She came clean, brushed, healthy, and full of smiles. I will be using Juan again!”




29. John H.


“First time using rover so we were very nervous! John was super nice and welcoming! He had us do a meet and greet before to make sure our pup played well with others which I appreciate! Our dog definitely had a blast! He even put himself to bed before us when we brought him home :)! Will definitely consider using John again!”


30. Amy F.

“Amy was great. i could tell from the photos that Snoop immediately felt at home with her. He has always been around people and is very sensitive, so we are very particular about who he stays with. We will not hesitate to book with Amy again!”


31. ERIKA T.

“Erika and her family were absolutely amazing! She asked all the right questions about our furbaby. She sents lots of pictures. She was very interested in getting to know everything about our dog so she would be comfortable in her home. I highly recommend her! Very grateful she was able to take care of our dog! Very kind and loving.”


32. Karen T.
“Karen is an amazing caretaker for my two cats and dog! She is reliable, responsible, and great at communication. I’ve used her on several accounts to watch my pets when I’m running late for work or on vacation. She is splendid and my pets adore her! Highly recommend Karen and her services!”




33. Elvia C.

“Elvia and family were terrific! I felt at peace knowing Brandy was in good hands with such a great family. Highly recommend and will most definitely book with her again in the future!”


34. Anni G.
“Anni is a compassionate and responsible animal lover who provides safe, loving care to every pet she comes across. She goes above and beyond to ensure pets feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for, all while keeping pet owners informed and reassured. Anni has watched my dog Riley, who fell in love with Anni right away. I could tell Riley was comfortable the minute I dropped her off. While pet sitting, Anni would update me on how Riley was eating, bathroom habits, walks they took and would send pictures since she knew I missed her. Not a worry crossed my mind while Anni watched my pup and I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a caring and trusted pet sitter/walker.”


35. Katia L.
“atia has been an absolute lifesaver when it comes to caring for Puki while I travel for work. Puki has some hip issues and needs extra patience, love, and attention, and Katia provides all of that and more. The longest Puki has stayed with Katia was two weeks, and I couldn’t have been more at ease knowing she was in such good hands. Katia treats Puki like one of her own, ensuring she’s comfortable, happy, and well-cared for. I’m so grateful to have someone as trustworthy and compassionate as Katia to look after Puki. It’s such a relief knowing my dog is not only safe but also genuinely loved while I’m away. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!”


36. Lily K.

“Lily was warm and caring. Leo was comfortable and played with his friends. She gave the food exactly as instructed. Shared endearing pictures with us. Overall it was a good experience for all of us. Thanks Lily.”


37. LisaLeigh R.

“Hank loves staying with LisaLeigh, which makes leaving him more comfortable for us. She takes great care of him, sends photos throughout the day, and is always communicative.”


38. Blanca R.

“Blanca is an absolute pleasure to interact with, she clearly loves the pups and seeing them happy makes her happy. Blanca watched our 2.5 year old Maltipoo for 7 days and kept us apprised of his stay with many adorable pictures and sweet texts. Banksy looked like he was having the BEST time with Blanca, and he can be very shy and suffers from separation anxiety when apart from Mom & Dad. We highly recommend Blanca for anyone who cares deeply for the well-being and happiness of their pup while traveling. She is the best dog sitter we’ve ever dealt with - hands down.”


39. Margaret B.

“Margaret was wonderful! From the moment I reached out she was on top of her communications and was very helpful with making us feel at ease with boarding our puppy. She provided a checklist for his stay which was extremely helpful and she answered all the quesitons we had in a timely manner. While our puppy was at her house, she checked in daily and sent photos which we greatly appreciated. Margaret also went the extra mile and made recommendations for useful training tips and tools for our puppy. We will be boarding our puppy again with her in a few weeks!”


40. Alexis F.

“Alexis will make you feel very comfortable and at ease with Alexis as a person as well as a care take for your dogs/pets. You can trust that you're in good hands with her!”
