1. Arianna Z.
“Arianna was great - professional, helpful and communicative. This was our dog’s first satay away from us and she did what she could to make sure he, and we, were comfortable. Definitely recommend.”
2. Nancy K.
“Nancy is clearly a dog person with a loving demeanor who will take great care of your pet. We couldn’t be happier that we found her to watch Daisy for us. Thank you Nancy.”
3. Denise D.
“Really happy with the daycare & overnight care my older, 15 lb dog received. Denise is great, my dog looked happy hanging out with her, plus she has veterinary experience, and we also like Jerry, Denise's husband. I received pics/video throughout the stay. I like that they limit the # of dogs in their care because my dog gets stressed when there are too many dogs. And they have a small dog named Quarky, so there's a canine buddy. At Quarky's my dog has the choice of indoor/ outdoor time but he LOVES being outside this time of year, and Denise provides a tall fenced yard, comfortable furniture, companionship, sun and shade. Who could ask for more?”
4. Carolina M.
“Carolina is the ideal caregiver for a dog or cat because of their strong bond with animals. I’ve known Carolina for a long time and when she didn’t have a dog, she spent a lot of time talking about how she wanted one. Now that she has one she understands her pet’s needs, provides them with love, proper nutrition, and a safe environment. I know she will be committed to each pet’s well-being and have a solid track record of responsible pet ownership.”
5. Helen K.
“Helen is a wonderful dog sitter. After our meet and greet a few days earlier, Olive ran right into Helen's house. We received lovely photos of Olive's time there and it was clear she was well cared for. We thank Helen for her kind attention to our senior dog and recommend her highly. Thanks Helen!”
6. Sinead M.
“Sinead was great! This was our dog Monty's first time with daycare on Rover, so we were very curious about how he would do. Sinead sent us a couple videos throughout the day, and in each one he was relaxed and playing well with her dogs. Monty was completely tuckered out when he came home, happy as could be! Sinead was able to accommodate his quirks and made sure he was as comfortable as possible.”
7. Bethiah R.
“Bethiah was great with our dogs! We received wonderful pictures of their adventures while she had them and they seemed very happy and relaxed when we picked them up. Would definitely recommend!”
8. Desiree Y.
“Desiree was awesome! Due to some poor planning on our part, we ended up needing a last minute puppy sitter on our way to Santa Cruz. Desiree was very sweet and welcoming, she agreed to let us meet her before leaving our pup with her, made sure our puppy was comfortable and we felt good about leaving her there. Desiree shared updates frequently and went above and beyond for our puppy, next time we go to Santa Cruz we won’t hesitate to book with Desiree again”
9. Nicole L.
“Nicole is amazing!! I hesitated to write my honest review because she was so great I don’t want everyone else to fill up her schedule and then I can’t rebook with her when I’m out of town again! I love how active Nicole is and takes my high energy pup on lots of walks and adventures (and supplies me with great photos too! ) She is a great communicator and my dog Krauss loved his stay with her and Zack! Already planning Krauss’s next stay with her!”
10. Judith C.
“Judith was an amazing sitter for Otto! He stayed for the weekend and I felt very comfortable in knowing that Judith was taking care of him as an elderly dog. He was pampered and happy!”
11. Yingen P.
“Yingen was wonderful and very loving , patient and took excellent care of my fur baby, and frequently updates some photos showing all the fun they had along. We will definitely book Yingen again ! I highly recommend Yingen to care for your fur babies.”
12. Gianna F.
“Gianna did a fantastic job when she watched my dog Leo, for 16 nights. She took him on walks, to the beach, and played with him regularly. My dog got along well with hers, and they had a great time together. I was impressed by how considerate Gianna was about my dog's fear of the 4th of July fireworks. She provided him comfort and gave him his medication, making him feel safe during the challenging time. Gianna was also responsive and shared adorable photos whenever I checked in, reassuring me that my furry friend was in good hands. I highly recommend Gianna to anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. She truly went above and beyond to ensure my dog's happiness and well-being during his stay. It was wonderful to know he was basically on his own doggy vacation while we were on ours. :) Thank you so much Gianna!”
13. Madelyn S.
“Great sitter, communicative, and kind. Thanks!”
14. Jenna S.
“Jenna and family were great with our dogs! This was our second time leaving them and they both were happy and tired coming home after their stay! The children all pitch in to help with dog care and are clearly dog lovers! Will book again!”
15. Kevin F.
“Kevin is a wonderful dog sitter! He is communicative and flexible. Olive had a wonderful time and we were confident she was in good hands. She is an older dog with some arthritis issues, which Kevin was fine about managing. We recommend him without reservation, he's the tops.”
16. Yu R.
“Yu took amazing care of my dog Molly. We got tons of updates and pictures of their walks. I definitely recommend Yu and would love for her to watch Molly again!”
17. Ashley B.
“My 6 year old pug, Liam had a blast staying with Ashley for a long weekend! He was very well taken care of, and Ashley was super available while I was gone to answer text messages about how he was doing. Her experience working in a veterinary setting eased my mind about potential emergencies. I will definitely rebook with her in the future!”
18. Ines D.
“Ines is a fantastic pet caregiver! Her responsible and loving nature shines through in every interaction with animals. She ensures they're well-fed, hydrated, and entertained with playtime and walks. I trust her completely with my doggie Maggie, she adores her! Highly recommend Ines for top-notch pet care.”
19. Tyler D.
“Tyler is wonderful. She took care of our dog just as she would her own puppy , and sent photos of Leo throughout his stay. We would definitely ask her to watch Leo again as needed.”
20. Lj M.
“LJ was great! She is a great communicator, sent me pictures of our fur babies and they were very comfortable and happy with her. She took them for walks and activities and was very flexible with modifications of plans at the last minute. Great experience with LJ!”
