“Rachel was so accommodating with a last minute boarding request. She went over and beyond to make our shy, anxious, needy dog feel comfortable in his new surroundings. Rachel sent lots of pics and updates so we felt completely reassured of his health and safety! Thank you, Rachel!”
“Thank you Leah for taking such amazing care of Callie again! We missed her so much but knew she was going to be well taken care of by you. You always send the cutest pictures which reassures us she is doing well. I appreciate your quick responses. Thank you for providing a welcoming home for Callie to stay in while we are away. We will see you soon for our next stay that we’ve already booked 😁.”
“Sofiya was awesome! I appreciate the daily updates of pictures and videos to put my mind at ease knowing my furbaby was safe while I was out of town. I will definitely look to re-book with Sofiya in the future!”
“I really want to compliment and thank Jen for the outstanding job she did watching my dog, Pumpkin. I had never left Pumpkin with anyone but family before so I was one very nervous doggy mama. Jen’s patient, calm demeanor, and very thorough knowledge of pet care and behavior was comforting. We did a meet and greet prior to the stay and Jen asked me a lot of questions about Pumpkins behaviors and habits. I found it very reassuring that she actually wanted to know about my dog. I am back home with Pumpkin now. Pumpkin was happy and well cared for. I would highly recommend Jen and will definitely use her in the future. Thanks, Jen, for a wonderful experience for both Pumpkin and myself!”
“Antonio and Maria took care of our two German shepherd dogs for two nights. They were easy to communicate and sent frequent updates and pictures. Our dogs seemed relaxed and happy with them. We recommend their service.”
“Outstanding sitter! Highly recommend! Angelina took special care of our beloved golden retriever, sent regular updates and he was so happy at her place!”
“Michael and Kris took the best care of our fur son, Bohdi! They sent pictures and updates throughout the day to let us know how he was doing. It allowed my husband and I to relax on our trip knowing he was having fun and getting all the love from them! When we picked him up, he didn’t want to go 🤣 We will definitely use Michael and Kris in the future, 10/10 recommend!”
“John and his family were very kind and loving towards Aster. He walked Aster several times a day to help with his acclamation to the town. I really appreciated this. John updated me daily with photos and written content. Thank you very much for taking such great care of our puppy.”
“Megha and her husband were awesome. Absolutely no complaints. Very professional and communicative. They have a beautiful backyard for your dog to roam. They gave my senior dog lots of attention and sent many updates with pictures as soon as I left my dog there. I found that extremely comforting because I’ve never left my dog with strangers before. They also let my dog roam around so I never worried that he would be stuck in a crate somewhere. I know my little guy was very comfortable and I would definitely bring Rascal back!”
“Idalys and Elissa are the best. Lennon loved staying with them, and I always got updates everyday so I was sure that Lennon was feeling like he was at home. Lennon is already looking forward for the next boarding!”
“Our dog’s week-long stay at Tansie’s was outstanding! The meet and greet was valuable in introducing our little guy to their own rescue dogs and at the end they really got along well. We got consistent updates about his day with great pictures too! Their place was conducive and spacious; overall we are much satisfied, we are already booking the next dates to use her service again!”
“**⭐️ 5 Stars – Amazing Dog Sitter! ⭐️** I couldn’t be happier with the care Mary provided for Kajree! From the very beginning, Mary was attentive, loving, and truly went above and beyond to make sure my pup felt safe, happy, and well-cared for. Almost daily updates (including adorable photos and videos!) gave me so much peace of mind while I was away, and it was clear Kajree had a great time with them. Whether it was walks, being goofy, or being cared for as a senior dog, Mary and her kids treated my dog like their family. I highly recommend Mary to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely caring sitter. Thank you for everything—we’ll definitely be booking again! 🐾❤️”
“Incredible Experience with Yifei! Highly Recommend! This was my first time using Rover, and I was honestly a bit nervous, especially since it was all very last-minute. But Yifei completely put my mind at ease. From the very first moment, she was incredibly kind, patient, and flexible—she was able to fit us in and even allowed us to pick up our puppy, Katsu, in the early morning, which was a huge help! Yifei kept me updated with pictures throughout the day, and it was so comforting to see Katsu so happy and engaged. Usually, my puppy is a bit hesitant with new people, but when he first met Yifei, he didn’t even look back at me! I could tell he felt completely safe and at ease with her, and I think he was probably having so much fun with the other dogs that he didn’t want to come home! On top of all that, Yifei was super easy to communicate with when Katsu accidentally left behind some of his things. She was quick to respond and made the whole process so smooth. I cannot recommend Yifei enough! She’s an absolute gem, and I felt 100% confident that my 10-month-old puppy was in great hands. If you're looking for a kind, reliable, and wonderful sitter, look no further—Yifei is your person!”
“Lanie and Family were great with Hunter! With updates throughout the stay, and knowing that Hunter was well taken care of! Hunter definitely showed he enjoyed his stay, quite relaxed and happy!”
“Brandon was such a great dog sitter. He took the time to get to know our dog and his behaviors and gave us updates on his stay. He was flexible and responsive to our texts. When we picked up our dog he was happy and calm. I could tell he took good care of him and took him out for regular walk. You can rest assured your pet will be in good hands with Brandon. He’s an all around good dude. I highly recommend him!”
“Queenie and her husband took such good care of my dog, Eevee, for two weeks! She was responsive, thoughtful, and made sure Eevee felt at home and had a great time. Eevee also had a blast playing with their sweet pup, Summer. Highly recommend Queenie to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!”
“Michelle is absolutely amazing! She took such a good care of my dog. This was the first time I left my dog with a dog sitter that is not a person she knows (normally she stays with people she knows well) and I was nervous. My dog did not miss me one bit! She ate all her food, was happy the whole time. Michelle sent plenty of updates and pictures. Thanks Michelle!!!”
“Jaynee took such great care of our Toby! She was very responsive and sent multiple updates and pictures everyday. We loved that she checked in with his after his meals and walks. We can tell that Jaynee puts all of her care into making sure Toby was comfortable and we’re very thankful for that! Toby had so much fun with Jaynee and Cannoli, he can’t wait for his next stay :)”
“Natalie took care of my 5 year old yellow Labrador, Izzy, for 10 days. She was wonderful - kind, attentive, asked questions about Izzy's routine, and sent daily updates and photos. Izzy had a very good time with Natalie! I highly recommend this sitter.”
“I am very happy with how Turki & Madeline took care of my puppy (Archie) during an overnight stay. They were communicative and proactive. When Archie ran out of food, they informed me and went out of their way to get him more. I loved all the pictures and updates they sent. It had me feeling confident that Archie was happy and well taken care of. If only we lived in California, I would definitely book with them again.”

Our dog had an excellent time with Fangyi. She provided almost daily photos and frequent updates. She was very communicative and responsive, and our dog came back very happy after a weekend of hiking after she asked if our dog would be amenable to it! Would be happy for her to take care of our little one in the future.
Ezra is awesome. She went above and beyond to make sure our niner was comfortable and safe. She is very knowledgeable about dogs and cats and knows what she is talking about. Ezra even sent us updates to make us feel at ease being that this was our niner’s first time away from us. It made our vacation more enjoyable knowing niner was in good hands. We will definitely be seeking Ezra’s services in the future.
Rocco has stayed with Luke multiple times and this most recent stay was his longest. Luke kept in contact with us and sent a few pictures a day for updates. We experienced travel days on the day of pick up and Luke was flexible, allowing Rocco to stay an extra few hours. We will always rely on Luke for boarding when we need it.
I was so very happy to find Gina and she has been my go to sitter for the last 6 years! My dog Luna is skittish with a side of anxiety and I was reallly nervous about leaving her with a sitter the first time. Gina has always shown patience & kindness, not only to Luna but to me as well. She provides updates & photos throughout every stay, and I know Luna is well cared for. What a relief it's been to have someone who cares for my dog like its her own. Thank you Gina for doing what you do & being the person you are! You are truly appreciated!!
Had my dogs boarded with Antonio and they were well taken care for. Regular updated pictures and great communication. They were spoiled being able to sleep on the couches !
Michael took great care of our dog while we were on vacation. He was extremely responsive, often responding to messages within minutes. He really made the whole process so easy and seamless -- from scheduling a time to meet with us and our pup before the booking, to sending us photos during her stay, to responding to messages. He was also very understanding and flexible when our travel plans changed due to our flight being delayed. I highly recommend Michael and wouldn't hesitate to rebook with him.
Hannah and her family were very warm and welcoming to our dog from the first time they met. Our dog was so excited and immediately liked Hannah and her family when we dropped him off. She was very communicative and kept us updated on how he was doing every day with photos and messages. She and her family definitely treated him like he was part of the family! Will book with Hannah again next time we’re out of town.
Outstanding!.. we had a last minute change and she was able to take both my pups. She is responsive, on time, she kept us updated on all the pups activities. Kesseling is certainly a sweet and kind person and that is something that reflected on my pets.
Rachel responds quickly and is very thoughtful and understanding how hard it can be to leave your little ones. We have used Rachel twice now and would love to continue to book her to take care of our little furry family members.
Both our pups had a great weekend staying over! Our dogs are quite high maintenance and they were very understanding. We got regular updates with photos and videos. They were also timely and accommodating to our schedule. Will definitely rebook in the future!!
Ruby is so kind and patient with my dog Lobo. She even sends daily photos and she is careful to follow all the directions provided. Thank you Ruby!
Leah did a great job with my dog. She sent pictures and I felt great knowing he was happy and taken care of. Thank you, Leah!
Nataliya is great with our dog Kobe! She is communicative and truly cares about accommodating his needs. She is our go-to sitter!
Munique took great care of our 2 dogs, they were very happy spending time with her, getting walks and treats, totally recommend!
Bella had such a great time with Ildefonso! Right from the beginning, it was obvious she was in good hands. Ildefonso really paid attention to Bella’s needs and made sure she felt comfortable and cared for. We got regular updates and cute photos, which made us feel totally at ease. Bella looked happy and relaxed the whole time. We’re so glad we found someone so kind and reliable—would absolutely book again!
Melissa and Tommy were amazing! We left our guy for almost a week and I didn’t think he wanted to leave. They sent a bunch of pictures and updates which made us feel at ease. They followed all our instructions for our little guy and treated him like on of their own. We are so thankful!!
Tansie and family have been taking care of our dogs for years. It’s very comforting to know we have someone we trust to watch our babies.
We recommend a lot Queenie, she’s so kind and adorable! Summer, her dog is also adorable!! Our dog Sierra was so happy with this family, we received a lot of photos and videos every day, that so nice when you are far away from your puppy. She spend a lot of times to play with her and to do walks. Thanks again for everything!!
Joanne was amazing. She was very kind and sweet and seemed to take care of my max very well. I got many videos and pictures throughout his stay, and also got some updates on how he has been doing due to some anxiety he experiences. She was kind enough to give Max some fresh chicken after we forgot his wet food before dropping off. She responds to messages very fast and is very supportive. I would love to utilize her as a consistent sitter.
