“It was Duke’s first stay with Claudia. He was excited at drop off, no stress, no anxiety. Claudia sent pictures of Duke being his normal self throughout the evening. Extra appreciation and thanks to Claudia for accommodating the request for late pickup.”
“I must say I was def scared as Dakota has never been with anyone else. Ms. Margarita made not only me feel confident but my sons whom both were so happy that she was in good hands . I will definitely book again even for a day just so Dakota can keep in touch !”
“Can’t begin to say enough good things. Buster has minimal experience staying with people he doesn’t know. Monica immediately made him feel at home. She Sent pics daily which also put me at ease as I had minimal experience leaving him with people we don’t know :) was a great experience. Highly reccomended.”
“So thankful for Nan and her family for their loving care and love for Ichigo! She sent me updates along with photos and videos throughout the stay which gave me a big relief. She was content and calm when I came to pick her up, I can tell that she received plenty love and attention.”
“Bonnie took amazing care of our yorkie Spike for 4nights. She and her husband scheduled a meet and greet where they had an initial interaction with Spike and talked to us about his needs/routine. Due to pancreas’s issues he is on a strict diet and likes to drink a lot of water. Bonnie accommodated this without issue, adjusted to Spikes routine, and gave him frequent potty breaks. She sent us pictures and videos multiple times a day, which I loved 🥰. We could tell he was comfortable by the images and when we returned to pick him up, could see that he was well taken care of and happy. Will definitely rebook again- Thank you Bonnie and family for taking such great care of Spike!!”
“Lulu and I met Ji and there was an instantly connection. As she had never met Ji and was in a different environment, Lulu seemed content. Ji kept me updated on Lulu’s adjustment, which stated was going well. I truly appreciate Ji being able to take care of Lulu on such a short notice. Hopefully in the future if needs arrives Ji will be able to take care of Lulu again.”
“Oh my God, what should I say about this wonderful person, ISBATH, who looked after our Ace. Our dog is a single master dog and really a protector type. I was little hesitant to take him to meet Ms. Isbath. I don’t know, she may be some kind of magical approach. I never heard a single growl from Ace, which was really surprising. The day I dropped him to Isbath’s house, gradually Ace become a family member. The day I dropped Ace, Ms. Isbath send me plenty of photos and videos to update the boarding. My family and I are very much happy to Isbath and her family to look after our Ace and once we picked him up from Ace, he joined back to our family. I am sure that Ace also got a very excited and awesome vacation. We will definitely recommend Isbath and family. Once again thank you Isbath and Thank you Rover. May God Bless us all.”

“Kajal was an amazing dog sitter for my pup, Zuko. She kindly accepted him on very short notice, which I greatly appreciated. Zuko can be quite picky with his food, but Kajal handled his needs with great care and made sure he was well-fed and comfortable. Throughout his stay, she kept me updated with regular photos and videos, which gave me peace of mind and showed how well he was doing. I highly recommend Kajal to anyone looking for a responsible and thoughtful sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

We came home to happy pups, and we are so grateful for her kindness and professionalism. It is clear Melodie loves animals and treats them like her own. Highly recommend!”

We had a wonderful experience with our dog sitter. She was professional, reliable, and kept us updated throughout the stay with messages and pictures, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear that she was loving, caring, and genuinely attentive to our dog’s needs. We could tell our dog was happy and well cared for. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.
Highly recommend. Melodie was amazing!! Polite and very welcoming. This was my 1st time leaving my dog an I was nervous but she kept me updated and sent me pictures it really eased my mind . My dog was super happy and comfortable being there with all the walks and play dates I would totally book with her again. Very pleased with the whole experience.
Nan was great! Would recommend to anyone looking to board there pet. Was able to book with her last minute with no problem. She really cared well for my young puppy, kept in touch the entire time, and sent pictures and videos. My puppy loved her! Will absolutely be using Nan again to care for my dog when I'm away.
From the moment we met Kajal, her family, and her sweet dog Nala, we knew Toby was going to be in the best hands. She was incredibly attentive, caring, and proactive throughout the entire stay — sending regular updates, photos, and check-ins that gave us so much peace of mind while we were out of the country. What truly sets Kajal apart is how naturally she treats every dog like family. Toby has had sitters before, but we have never seen him this relaxed, happy, and at ease with anyone outside of home. He fit right in with Kajal's family and Nala, and honestly? He almost seemed a little sad to come back — which, as a pet parent, is the highest compliment you can give a sitter. It is incredibly rare to find someone who matches the love and care you pour into your own dog, and Kajal does exactly that. Toby is more than a pet to us he's family — and she treated him no differently. I would recommend Kajal without a single hesitation, not just for Toby, but for any dog lucky enough to stay with her. If you're looking for a sitter who will love your pup like their own, look no further!
