My dog is well cared for when with Jing. My dog runs to them when we return and loves the fenced in Yard to run & have fun. I highly recommend Jing & Jeremy. Not to mention picture updates throughout her stay.

Jess was an amazing pet-sitter. The walks and family time were just what our dog loves. He came home happy and well-rested and not exhausted like he usually does when boarded at a kennel-type facility. He enjoyed the love and attention he received, as well as the interaction with the other dogs. We will definitely be using Jess again!

Charlie had a great 10 day stay with Alec and Damien. Communication was fast and efficient. It was Charlie’s first time staying with someone who wasn’t family or friends, but after the meet and greet I knew that they would take great care of him. I received updates (with pictures) while on my vacation and I would choose them again if needed. Highly recommend them to care for your dog as one of their own.

Dana and Nia took great care of our puppy. He came back exhausted from all of the playing he had done over the weekend! They were very communicative, sending updates at least once a day, and even let us change our pickup time to be more convenient for us. This was our first time using Rover and it was such a relief to not have to worry about our pup while we were away.

Carolina is awesome. Kaci loves to visit and enjoys spending time with the other dogs. They keep me updated with photos and take him on good walks. I love that she offers pick up and drop and is always on time. As a busy person it is good to have a sitter you trust.

We had an absolutely amazing experience with our dog sitter and couldn’t recommend them more highly. This was our first time being away from Howie, and naturally we were a little nervous—but they made the entire experience so reassuring from start to finish. While we were away, our return flight ended up getting canceled multiple times, leaving us stranded for an additional three days. What could have been an incredibly stressful situation was made so much easier because they immediately stepped in without hesitation and continued caring for Howie like he was their own. They consistently reassured us that he was safe, happy, and well cared for until we could finally make it home. On top of that, we received dozens of pictures and videos throughout our trip, which truly meant so much—especially as first-time dog parents leaving him behind. Seeing Howie relaxed, playing, and clearly loved gave us total peace of mind. It’s rare to find someone you can trust so completely with your dog, but we absolutely did here. We are beyond grateful and will 100% be using them again.

Grigorii took the best care of my dog. He was communicative, friendly, and thorough in his care. My dog is timid after a recent attack and Grigorii was patient and able to get her to come out of her shell over a few days’ stay. His dog is a sweetheart too so I felt confident the pups would get along. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone and I’d be disappointed if he wasn’t available next time I need a sitter!

Great experience! Joseph was awesome, he went above and beyond, to ensure my great dane was well cared for while we were out of town visiting family. Joseph kept us updated with messages and pictures. Once again, thank you for taking care of our child ? in our home - we wouldn't have found a better dog sitter! We definitely will use Joseph again in the future. ?

Thank you for looking after our dogs! Ling and Ye sent lots of photos of our two midsize labradoodles on walks and getting cuddles during their stay. And they came home calm and relaxed afterwards - a sign that they were happy while during their stay. Our dogs can get nervous around large male dogs, but their dog Brody (large labradoodle) is a gentle giant who immediately got on with our dogs, but also gave them their own space. We appreciate Ling and Ye's kindness towards our dogs!

Jason took excellent care of Nate while we were gone to NY. Nate is sensitive to fireworks and can get anxious with new people. He also gets up a bit early in morning. He took care of all his needs and also developed a close bond with him. I really appreciate all his efforts in boarding him and making him comfortable like his second home.

IG was absolutely amazing with my Juju, her attention to detail was next to none. I felt carried along at every turn and for the anxiety I had because my bub was injured. So I say if you need a sitter with great attention to detail and who love animals, IG it your person. Thank you for caring for my bubs IG. I will book again and I highly recommend

Brooklynn is an excellent sitter! My dog (Monty) can be anxious, especially in a new home. He took to her immediately and seemed perfectly content and comfortable at her home. Brooklynn and her partner treated Monty like part of their family right away, and he got SO much attention and belly rubs (his favorite). She is trustworthy, kind, and communicative, and we would highly recommend her to anyone!

My dog stayed with Jess for 12 days. She was well cared for and happy. Jess was very communicative and send updates and pictures very often. The first time I met Jess I knew she was the right person to watch my dog. I wanted an in home sitter and not a kennel. I would highly recommend Jess for anyone looking for a caring and loving family to watch their pet while they are away. Thank you so much Jess!

Azizah is truly one of a kind! She’s been Chico’s babysitter for the past four years, and I honestly couldn’t imagine trusting anyone more. Chico absolutely adores her, and it’s clear she loves and cares for him as if he were her own. The peace of mind I have whenever I leave the state is priceless. Knowing Chico is safe, happy, and receiving the same love, attention, and care that I give him makes all the difference. That’s something you simply can’t put a price on. I feel incredibly lucky and grateful to have found Azizah. She’s reliable, compassionate, and genuinely exceptional. Thank you, Azizah, for everything you do and for loving Chico so well. We appreciate you more than words can say. See you soon!!

Fionna was extremely communicative and caring. Our dog chuy had a hot spot when we dropped him off and she made sure to look after it and keep us updated on the progress. She gave Chu plenty of walks and welcomed him into her home as one of her own. Her dog Oyster is very cute and got along with Chuy! Would definitely recommend.
