“Maria was amazing with Kit! Very communicative and sent lots pictures every day. There was even an earthquake while he was with her - she let me know immediately and kept me updated throughout. Will definitely be reaching out to her again the next time I go out of town.”
“Preston had his first visit with Lee yesterday. He’s high energy when other dogs are around and absolutely enjoyed his afternoon playing with her and the other dogs. Lee was attentive, provided great updates and overall made us feel comfortable leaving Preston with her. We cannot thank her enough!”
“Her and her partner are excellent they took my pup in and she was so happy playing with their pups thank you guys and if I need people to watch my do I will always request yall.”
“Alex kept my golden retriever for a week and left me feeling GREAT about the boarding. From the daily pix & videos, it seemed that Alex integrated Mika into her family life completely, even having her at their backyard easter egg hunt! Mika got lots of play time & tons of petting, played with her daughters at the playground across the street, and did her napping right under Alex's feet when she was working. Such a great feeling to know your dog is well cared for when away. Thanks so much Alex!”
“We loved our stay with Karen! The communication was very clear and quick, and Karen did a great job giving our pup a safe, structured stay with plenty of playing and time in the sun. :-)”
“Phoebe had a great time with Karen & Hisako. They shared photos and updated me throughout her stay. Phoebe came home happy and healthy, will be requesting their help again in the future.”
“Thank you Isaac and Jordan for taking such great care of Max! My dog has a lot of separation anxiety and can be a bit of a handful at times, but Isaac and Jordan did a great job making sure he got a lot of care and attention throughout his stay. I got a lot of great pictures and updates throughout his stay, and they even have a large doggy play-place and potty area where Max got to play and meet other fur friends.”
“Albina was great with Doug. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which I appreciated. Doug seemed happy and well-cared for when I picked him up. Would definitely book with her again.”
“Madeleine took great care of our dog Joni while we were out of town. My dog and I met her for a meet and greet beforehand, which is helpful for our dog - she likes people that she’s met a few times. Madeleine was easy to coordinate with and sent us daily updates with pictures. We’ll definitely book dog sitting services with Madeleine again.”
“This is Max’s second time hanging with Mary - running errands, getting sunshine on her rooftop garden (or back patio, or back yard), playing with the neighbor dog. Mary sends JUST the right amount of check ins so that I don’t miss my little guy TOO much cuz I know he’s having fun. My pup takes daily meds and I really trust her to make sure he’s well taken care of & that any unusual behaviors are flagged to me. Feels good to know my pup has a village of people keeping him healthy and happy! Thanks Mary, looking forward to the next one :)”
“Benjamin and his family were great with my pup, Moose. Upon meeting, I quickly felt like he was going to be well cared for and that his needs would be met for his overnight stay. Everything went as smooth as could be. Thanks again!”
“If I could give Mariola 10 stars I would! It can be very nerve wracking to leave your fur baby somewhere new, especially for an entire week, but immediately, I knew my senior pug Pennie was in excellent hands with Mariola! In fact, so much so, that Pennie was more than content to stick around longer when I came to take her home on day 8. I so appreciate having a loving, caring responsible dog sitter like Mariola so close by to care for my pug while I’m traveling for work. Thank you again so much!”
“Kalea and Andrew were awesome and very flexible. They were willing to schedule a meet and greet ahead to be sure their place worked for my puppy (and vice versa) which really helped me feel comfortable leaving her for the first time. They asked great questions about her care, routines, and any considerations. During our puppy’s stay they sent pics and let us know how she was doing and what was helping to make my shy girl feel comfortable. I would definitely book with them again!”
“Sharon is a dog owner’s dream. Charlie was so happy and comfortable, she looked liked Sharon was her owner, making my own vacation worry free. Lots of good walks and cuddling. We will be back in the future!”
“Vanessa was so kind and careful with our pup Gumbo! We were extra nervous because we had to leave him with her for two weeks while he recovered from an injury. Following our vet’s instructions, she gave him his meds, restricted his activity, carried him up and down the stairs, and provided so much loving care. And she sent us lots of updates! Her pup Robin is so sweet too. We’re looking forward to Gumbo’s next stay with them.”
“I could not be more pleased and appreciative of how well Kristen and Ryan took care of my Solo. This is the longest I have been out of town in a while and I wanted Solo to be in a comfortable and secure place and with people that will look after her as if she was their own. Kristen and Ryan did that for sure. They kept me well informed of how Solo was doing and it really looked like Solo enjoyed her time with them. I highly recommend Kristen and Ryan and will defiantly book any future pet sitting I need with them.”
“Thais and Marlene were great. They took great care of Harry while we were out for 10 days visiting family for the holidays. Thais was very responsive to us and sent photos regularly with updates on how Harry was doing. A great experience overall.”
“Inkoo was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of our dog Pancho—sending us daily updates with multiple photos and thoughtful notes that really put our minds at ease while we were away. She communicated clearly and consistently, and it was clear from the pictures that Pancho was happy, well cared for, and having a great time—especially at the dog parks she took him to! Inkoo is warm, reliable, and incredibly detail-oriented. We’re so grateful to have found her and will definitely consider her again for any future pet sitting needs.”
“Tara was super kind and accommodating to me and my dog, Frieda had just had surgery and was in a vulnerable place and Tara was communicative and worked with me last minute to make sure to Frieda got the care she needed. Very grateful for your kindness and great care!💛”

We usually take our dog everywhere with us, but had to fly to Dallas for a family wedding. Having met Jeremy, I was confident that he would be a kind & caring pet sitter -and I was right. The daily pictures & written updates were terrific. When we returned our dog was relaxed and clearly had been well taken care of. Highly recommend!
Kalea and Andrew were awesome and very flexible. They were willing to schedule a meet and greet ahead to be sure their place worked for my puppy (and vice versa) which really helped me feel comfortable leaving her for the first time. They asked great questions about her care, routines, and any considerations. During our puppy’s stay they sent pics and let us know how she was doing and what was helping to make my shy girl feel comfortable. I would definitely book with them again!
Many thanks to Jiayi and her husband for giving my dog Maui a fun weekend stay. I always appreciate her attention to instructions and details and updates with pictures. Maui can get anxious and needs special attention and he's come to feel settled and comfortable with Jiayi's family. It's great to have such peace of mind and I look forward to Maui staying with them again!
Nasreddine was the best dog sitter we've ever had! Our 7-year-old German shepherd loves her very much, and she makes sure to send us photos and videos while we're out, so we can rest easy knowing they're in good hands. It was a great experience, and I would definitely recommend her!
I started out nervously, my daughter advised me to use Rover to help with my Luna. I met up with Mr. Aman H. to see if Luna would bond and she did. I recommend Mr. Aman H. because he had to calm the human mom down in me, Luna enjoyed herself and I was at ease the whole time. I was sent pictures of what she was doing the time she was there again thank you Aman so much and I'll see you next time.
Pat and Tim were amazing sitters and their dog Coco was just the sweetest with Miles. She was visibly sad when I picked Miles, it was so precious! Miles was clearly very very well taken care of. Communication was excellent, the photo/video updates were great, and Miles’ items were returned in a cute bag. Highly recommend!
Alexandra is very sweet and took wonderful care of my for 5 days. He came back fluffy, happy, and smelling wonderful! I'm a very paranoid dog mom but after meeting Alexandra I knew my doodle was in good hands. She lives in a very safe area that has a park across the street. My doodle is very attached to me and was having so much fun that he barely noticed me when I arrived. She has such a kind demeanor as well. I highly recommend Alexandra!
Chloe had a wonderful stay with Didem, she was content and happy when we picked her up. Didem was awesome providing updates and we felt very at ease on our vacation, knowing she was in excellent care. Thank you Didem for taking such wonderful care of our precious Chloe!
Absolutely incredible! Salem was absolutely perfect. Every time I got an update, it was really clear that she was connecting with Winona and enjoying their time together. We had a bit of a scare, but she handled it extremely well. I never had to worry and knew I could trust Salem to do what was best for Winona. She really went above and beyond to make sure Winona was taken care of when she needed to be. I cannot recommend Salem enough. She will definitely be the first place I check the next time Nona needs to be watched!
