“We have continued to book with Karen. She follows all care instructions and goes the extra step to make sure Charlie is comfy. She is very communicative and sends lots of pics and videos. She also takes Charlie on extra walks. I know he loves being with Karen because he’s always super excited to see her. We’ll continue to book with Karen!”
“Our usual sitter was out of town and I was a little nervous to leave our dog, Penny with someone else- however, Allison was absolutely great with her! She took her on a walk each day and sent us pictures. I would absolutely recommend her and use her again”
“Esther is amazing! I was so worried about leaving my elderly dog with a fresh eye ulcer who requires a lot of eye drops and attention. Esther handled it perfectly and kept me well informed with texts and pictures the whole trip. Winnie and I can't thank her enough!”
“Delta took very good care of my puppy during the visit. She is very communicative and even spend time to train some basic commands with the puppy. She was ready on time during drop off and during pick up as well. Definitely recommend to anyone and will book for my future bookings.”
“Annie took great care of our 15 year old chihuahua! This was our first River experience and our first lowly dog requires medication so we were a little nervous. We appreciated the updates and pictures as well as the meet and greet ahead of boarding. I cannot recommend Annie enough.”
“Sarah was able to care for our Duncan on short notice. We did a meet and greet with her prior to make sure that Duncan and her dog Shadow did ok together! Sarah sent photo's and updates regularly! Duncan was happy when we picked him up and he was well taken care of. Thank you Sarah!!”
“Juan did an amazing job caring for Nova while I was away for five nights. First he had me bring her over to meet his dog Frenchie to make sure they would get along well. He was accommodating for her drop off and pick up, and sent frequent photos and video of Nova at play and walking. I was able to enjoy my trip assured she was being cared for by a loving family. I highly recommend Juan for your pet sitting needs.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Winnie and Zoey! From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. It honestly felt like she cared for them as if they were her own—she kept us updated regularly, sent photos, and always checked in if anything came up. We did have a minor issue with one of the dogs during the week, and she handled it with such grace and flexibility. She was open to our suggestions, super responsive, and willing to adjust anything to make sure our pups were safe and comfortable. It’s so rare to find someone who not only takes care of the basics but goes the extra mile with love, patience, and clear communication. We’re incredibly grateful and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!”
“Rocio and Miwako are a wonderful couple, and they took very good care of my baby girl. They sent me updates with videos, and I knew she was safe while I was traveling for work. My Maltese is 12 years old and only weighs 4.1 lbs. She doesn't do well in traditional boarding facilities, and I like the personalized care she gets from Rocio & Miwako. They also only watch one animal at a time which gives me a stronger comfort level regarding her safety. I would recommend them to anyone!”
“John was amazing with my camino girl. Strongly recommend using him to watch your precious pets. He kept me updated with pictures and comments on camino. She was a happy pup when I dropped her off and picked up a week later.”
“Cody has watched our dog twice now while we are on vacation, and we definitely would take him there again! He is always well taken care of at Cody’s place and our dog loves being with his dogs as well. I recommend him 100%.”
“David and Jennifer were great with dog over the weekend! Allowed onyx to warm up with their pup outside and showed us both inside real quick. Jennifer sent plenty of photos and a video keeping me updated. I look forward to booking with them in the future!”
“Elisabeth, Gerald, Arwen, Max and Arthur took such good care of our two year old beagle. Being new to having someone watch our family pet we were worried that Turk wouldn't take to the new environment and 2. that he may be too much for this family. Our concerns were quickly dismissed. They are so loving and carrying and the combination of personalities quickly put my bull headed beagle to rest. Literally, he was exhausted from all the play time. Elisabeth and Gerald sent us updates with photos which help put our mind to rest during our vacation. They were extremely responsive to our questions, asked great questions and genuinely went out of their way to make our Turk's stay wonderful. We couldn't be happier with their service and would recommend them to anyone interested in having their family pet watched by a family who would treat them as their own. Thank you again for taking care of our Turkey.”
“Araceli was AMAZING taking care of our fur babies. This is the longest we’ve left them with someone else and they did great. We have a very anxious one who gets nervous with new people and she was so comfortable with Araceli. Could not be more grateful for her watching our babies at the last minute and being so accommodating with our pick-up time. She sent photos and updated us daily which really put us at ease. Definitely leaving our babies with her again when we need. 🤍”
“We had a great first experience with Patti. Such a sweet lady. We recieved daily pics of Teddy & Trixie. Loved the goodie bags and report card! And we liked that she lives in a neighborhood with low traffic. Will def recommend to friends and book again. Thank You Patti!”
“Jessica was amazing! She was patient with teaching Tango the stairs and reinforcing his potty training which I am so grateful for. He seemed to have a very relaxing time, obviously felt comfortable with her & she sent many great pictures”
