1. K9 University
“My dog has been going to K9 University for about 8 years. When I’m out of town or not I take him there for doggy daycare. They take care of his grooming. I also have enrolled my dog into their classes for nose work, agility and obedience and my dog absolutely loves it. I am also satisfied with the results and experience of K9 University INC. Their staff members are well trained and they all practice the same delivery of services, for instance, what one staff members provide in quality customer services so does the remaining 5 staff members, therefore the quality you receive from this company isn’t compromised; moreover, they go above and beyond. They are all very professional and possess a wonderful attitude – they look very happy to be there. I’ll most definitely recommend using K9 University INC.”

“Ruben made our new venture into Rover very easy. He responds quickly and had availability right away. We are looking forward to Nox continuing to get to know him and open up to his dogs.”


3. Ariel M.

“Ariel was fantastic! She was professional, responsive, gave me updates throughout the day, and I was able to watch my pups on the camera throughout the day. On top of that she went above and beyond to notice behaviors my dogs could work on. Overall, very very satisfied with my doggy daycare. Will be a repeat customer for sure. Highly recommend!”




4. Jennifer N.

“Jennifer took great care of Kashi. I got plenty of pictures and videos for his one day daycare stay. I picked him up and he was in great spirits. I would definitely use her again!”


5. Posh Pet Club

“Chance tends to be anxious around people and other dogs, but by the time I picked him up, he was relaxed and seemed comfortable with the staff and other dogs. He was also happily exhausted from playing all day, which was a great bonus. We'll definitely be coming back!”


6. Emily S.

“Emily is awesome - took Sugar to get a pup cup today and sent great pictures. She is very sweet, responsive, and accommodating. Will definitely re book :)”


7. Gaby V.


“Gaby was great! Gaby has been walking my puppy for a few weeks now and she loves her! We thought we would try day care with Gaby and it was perfect for her. Gaby was very accommodating and able to keep my puppy a bit longer since I was delayed.”




8. Ashley M.


“Ashley was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure that my dog was comfortable with his stay at her house while I worked. She was very communicative, made sure to have full understanding of his care, and gave him lots of love! From the moment I dropped him off, I can tell she really cares about the pets she and her daughter care for, when I picked Echo up at the end of the day, he was so sad to leave! I’ll definitely be booking with Ashley again! :)”


9. Bark Blvd

“Nadia was SUPER helpful and you could tell how genuine she was. My dog is usually not liked by daycares because of his silliness but Bark Blvd is one of the only daycares who loves him and he came home absolutely KNACKERED after his first day. We could tell he was so happy to be there.”


10. Lisette S.
“I hired Lisette to walk and care for my 6 year old golden retriever/pit bull mix rescue dog Lucy whenever I would go out of town for business. Lisette is the daughter of my co-worker, the first time she met my best friend Lucy, Lucy was a bit standoffish due to her being uneasy around strangers. After a few hours Lucy loved Lisette and felt comfortable around her. Lisette would care for Lucy for 2 weeks every month while I was away, she would send me daily pictures of their walks or when they were just hanging out. Sometimes Lucy wouldn't want to leave Lisette's apartment. Although I don't travel as much I still employ Lisette to walk Lucy just so that Lucy can see her good friend Lisette. I definitely recommend Lisette to care for your 4 legged friends. Lisette would also watch over my 3 year old cat Benito. Although Benito does not need much maintenance Lisette always makes time to play with him and ensures he eats his food. Lisette also recommended for me to add water to his wet food to ensure he drinks more water for health reasons. I cannot recommend Lisette enough, she is good at what she does, I have also recommended her to other friends who do not have time to walk tbeir 4 legged friends.”

“My dog Trudy and I LOVE Sit Social! All of the staff members are so kind and professional and treat Trudy like their own dog. Daycare at Sit Social is worth every penny, especially knowing that my dog is being cared for by people who love her and gets to play with other dogs her size.”


14. Nicky V.

“Glad we found Nicole to take care of Mora on a last minute call. Nicole place has an excellent environment for dogs, a big yard and great parks around for walks. She is communicative, send pictures and videos to update about my dog. Definitely will book with her in the future! Thanks Nicole”

16. Lucas I.
About: I have several years of experience in the biomedical research field where I took care of mice. Administering drugs was a daily task for me. I have also taken care of my romantic partners' pets throughout the years. I am vegan now for several years, so I am deeply committed to treating animals well. I just completed my first cat boarding service, and I discovered that I am very happy taking care of pets at home. I am excited to start hosting more pets! I work from home, so it will be convenient for me to care for your pet(s) throughout the day. I am a freelancer, so I make my own schedule. I can make my schedule around your pets' needs! I maintain a clutter free home where your pet(s) can run inside! There's plenty of light with windows in all rooms. I am vegan for the animals, so you can trust me that I will care for your pet(s) to the best of my ability!

20. Monica & Calvin M.


“Monica and Calvin were wonderful dog-sitters for our one-year-old frenchton. Thankfully, they met with us in advanced to make sure that we and our puppy would be comfortable with them and vice versa. They sent multiple status updates during the day including photos and even suggested ways of helping our puppy relieve with his digestion issues. Overall, they were excellent and we will definitely rebook them in the future.”


21. Lisbeht S.
“I am absolutely thrilled to express my deepest gratitude to Lisbeht Sanchez for the outstanding care she provided to my turtle( Cleo) during my recent two-week vacation. Lisbeht's attention to detail and commitment to ensuring my turtle's well-being were truly remarkable. The regular updates and pictures she sent were not only reassuring, but also a testament to her dedication. The pristine condition of the tank water clearly demonstrated the level of care and maintenance she put into creating a comfortable and clean environment for my turtle. I am incredibly grateful for Lisbeht's exceptional care and for going above and beyond my expectations. Also truly grateful that she has a very flexible schedule and willing to help out no matter how last minute I come to her.”
