“recently had the pleasure of having Chulmin & Hyojin take care of my dog Woody, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! • Knowledgeable: Chulmin & Hyojin has an impressive understanding of dog behavior and care. It was clear that they genuinely love animals and know how to handle them well. • Communication: Throughout the sitting period, Chulmin & Hyojin was very responsive to my messages. I appreciated how quickly they replied, which made me feel at ease while I was away. • Updates: I received plenty of adorable photos of my dogs, which made my day! It was wonderful to see them happy and well taken care of. Overall, I highly recommend Chulmin & Hyojin for anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of my furry friend”


“Kira was great with my little kitten! Kept me updated all day and even let her stay an hour later because I was stuck in traffic and no issues at all! Would recommend!!”


“Natasha and Nirav are the best! My energetic pup Theo always has such a great time with them, and they go above and beyond to make sure that he is comfortable and cared for. They are also excellent at communicating and providing updates throughout his stay. We are so lucky to have found sitters that we trust and who our puppy adores.”


“Koryn was great! She accommodated last minute booking when our previous plans fell through, was flexible in pickup/drop off times, and our dog came back looking happy!”


“I have to say I was skeptical to book with rover as a first timer but Angela kept me informed of how my pup was doing with videos and comments, which had me at ease. I would definitely book again.”


“I couldn’t be happier with the care Zhe provided for my pup Mia! From start to finish, she was professional, warm, and incredibly attentive. Zhe kept me updated with regular pictures and videos, which really gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was clear Mia was in great hands and having a wonderful time. I highly recommend Zhe to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”



“John really cares about my dog Barney. When I leave Barney with him, I know he’s in great hands. I have left Barney with John twice now when going out of town for trips and it went great. I highly recommend him.”


“Amanda was absolutely incredible with my mini poodle Mia! It was the longest Mia and I were apart (a three week stay), but I felt incredibly connected to her through the daily updates and checkins Amanda provided. She gave Mia extra love and specialized food when Mia got a little stomach bug during the stay. I highly recommend Amanda's care for your pet!”


“Pamela was AMAZING! She checks in every day with pictures and videos. And Mister came home so happy! I will 100% be using her again, I could just tell Mister was in wonderful care and company!”


“Patrice and Alex were wonderful with Rooney. They took care of him very well, made sure he had lots of fun, and took care of his needs. We got consistent photo updates from Pat and Alex, and they were so thorough in making sure Rooney felt safe, comfortable, and cared for. They slowly introduced him into their home and were extremely attentive to his needs. Pepper was a lovely friend for Rooney too, being so gentle and sweet. They had a meet and greet before boarding and they got along well. We're so grateful to have found them because Rooney came home with his energy spent and full of joy because of what a great time he had. This is the first time he's boarded with Pat, Alex, and Pepper, but it definitely won't be the last!”



“Saylor is a top notch dog sitter! I wish I could give him more stars for excellent service!!! It was my first time using the dog boarding service. I was nervous leaving my 2 pups while I was out of town for the weekend. Saylor met with me and my pups and went over his daily routines and his place so I would feel comfortable the pups would be well taken care of. I received daily pictures and notes of my pups stay from Saylor. I have a younger pup who likes to play and an older pup who likes to relax and nap. Saylor accommodated each pup and let them be comfortable. He evenaccommodated my travel schedule last minute. Unfortunately my flight was cancelled due to weather and I had to stay an extra day. Saylor reassured me the dogs would be fine and kept them an extra night and coordinated a drop off once I landed home. It was such a relieve to have the help with the pups knowing they were in good hands while I was trying to get home! Im so happy I found a great dog sitter :-)”


“Denise is the best! She has watched Sasha for me a few times now and Sasha always is well taken care of and very happy! She keeps me updated and goes out of her way to make it a good stay!! I would 10000% recommend her to anyone looking for a good sitter”


“Elif was great with Ruby! She was very attentive to care instructions and sent regular updates and pics. Would definitely reach out again in the future! Thanks again, Elif!”


“Thisis the second time Frodo stayed with Keunyung and he seemed to love it again. Easy communication and very flexible on pickup and drop off, sent lots of pictures and summary of his stay. Would absolutely use he again!”


“Funda is just amazing. She took good care of my furbaby even with my short notice. She made it easy for us too as we were all set with our appointment yesterday. The rover sitter I booked last week cancelled my booking at the last hour due to an untoward incident. Funda was all flexible with my need as to her availability for drop off and pick up time. Cuppy had a great time playing in her huge yard with her kids. He felt safe with them. She also sent photos and videos of Cuppy. I highly recommend Funda to be your next dog sitter. She’s just wonderful! We will request her again for our future need. Thank you so much Funda!”


“Teresa was absolutely wonderful with Max. She kept us updated regularly and sent plenty of sweet photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. This was our first time ever leaving Max with a sitter, and it wasn’t easy—he’s our sweet 17.5-year-old boy and can’t travel with us anymore. I missed him dearly, but knowing he was in such loving and capable hands made all the difference. We’re so grateful to have found Teresa!”


“Karla was amazing! I will absolutely recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone to watch their dog. I have an 80 pound Bernedoodle who is 1 year old- which can be quite a handful lol. Karla sent me photos of him all throughout the stay. She has a backyard so he was running and playing all day. I picked him up an hour ago and he’s already sleeping like a baby. Karla is incredibly kind and trustworthy. She even gave us a card with pictures of our Apollo along with some gifts🥹 thank you Karla! I will definitely be using her services again whenever I go away.”


“Katya is the best sitter I’ve had to date! She’s very communicative and goes the extra mile to make sure pets (and their humans) are comfortable during her care. I’d I could give 10 stars, I would.”


“Monica was so wonderful with Odin! We couldn't have asked for a better boarder while we went away. She and her family were communicating throughout our vacation with pics and videos and they took just the greatest care of him which we so appreciate!!”


“Melissa was great watching our mutt, Tulip. She dog sat twice for us. The first was just for a few hours. The second was twelve hours. Both occasions were seamless. Tulip seemed happy and calm about both stays. She normally suffers from separation anxiety but if she was going through it she was much calmer than usual. Melissa was always prompt and responsive to all my inquiries. She also was very articulate about Tulip’s behavior while with her. I will definitely seek Melissa out again when Tulip needs a sitter.”
