âNan was absolutely amazing. This was my first time ever leaving my dog, who is very anxious without me, and she went above and beyond to make me feel completely comfortable. She sent so many pictures and videos, which truly put my mind at ease. Nan was so loving, patient, and caring, and it was clear my dog felt safe and happy with her. Thanks to Nan, I finally feel like I can enjoy work or personal trips without constant worry. I canât wait to use her again and would recommend her without hesitation.â


âThis is our first time using Rover and was very pleased with the process. We were reluctant at first, but after meeting Monica placed us at ease. I would definitely recommend Monica to our friends and family. Monica was very thoughtful with sending photos almost every day of our Bingo having a great time with her and family. Bingo felt at home with them. Thank you again, for taking such great care of our Bingo.â

âIt was Dukeâs 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.â

âI was so happy i fpund Bonnie and her husbad , they really took care of my 2 dogs. They treat them as their own. They give them extra care and attention. I highly recommend Bonnie. Nothing to worry if you leave them at their care. Will surely leave my babies again .â

âMargarita was kind and friendly. She accommodated a short-notice booking for us which was incredibly helpful! She sent picture and video updates of Oreo daily, and answered any messages we sent requesting additional updates. I would definitely book with her again!â

âIsbath/Anika was such an awesome sitter. We were in a real pickle because we had booked a different sitter for when we were on vacation, and she was very wishy-washy about accepting the request. That other sitter left us out to dry, rejecting our booking the day before we left for our 10 day vacation. We put out the request and Anika was so quick and so helpful. She asked all the right questions that sitters should want to know about your dog. She was very accommodating to our situation and my dog had so much fun there! I got photos/videos every day and knew she was in good hands.â

âThanks again Jessica for looking after Freya everytime we are away and making sure she is happy. We feel blessed to know that Freya is having fun and we can travel guilt free đâ

âWe had a wonderful experience with KAJAL D. From the start, communication was clear and prompt, which gave us peace of mind while leaving our dog in their care. They were reliable, attentive, and made sure to follow all of our instructions perfectly. Our dog was happy, well-cared for, and clearly enjoyed the extra attention. We also appreciated the regular video call, updates and photosâthey made us feel connected even while we were away. I would highly recommend KALAL D. to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter. Weâll definitely be booking again!â

âLupe is an excellent caretaker. He kept us connected with our baby the entire time. I was worried she wouldnât want to come back home! :-) Thank you!â

âAn amazing sitter who was willing to communicate about our booking right from the start! The entire family was part of our dog's experience and they treated him like a king! From outside play to belly rubs, our puppy had a better vacation than we did!! Communication was fantastic, lots of pictures and texts and couldn't have asked for more. We will definitely rebook for our next trip!â

âAs an admitted helicopter dog mom, I get nervous every time I have to leave them behind but Melodie has put all my concerns to rest. Brooklyn and Peppa had a great time with her. They enjoyed walks, tug of war games and lots of snuggles. And the bonus? - Her home is immaculately clean and smells amazing! In one long weekend, she has officially become my go-to. I will be booking with her again!â

âSeureon & Dongdwan were great hosts to our dog. They took great care of him for a week and sent us frequent updates, which always puts us, dog owners at ease. They were very timely and responsive and our dog seemed very happy and content. We will definitely use them again.â

âCouldnât be happier with the care Bean received while we were away! Bean is a senior dog who requires daily medications and a little extra attention, and Lisa took care of her with so much compassion and professionalism. She kept me updated every day, which gave me total peace of mind while we were on vacation. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog sitter!â
âAnthony is amazing with Livvy and Bailey! He takes such great care of them, always keeps us updated, and makes sure they get plenty of walks. He really pays attention to the little things and sticks to their routine, which gives us such peace of mind. We will definitely book with him again!â

âLucas & Katherine kept us updated and treated our Bentley with nothing but love and care! We look forward to having them as our new sitters! They are amazing!â

âAlice was great. Sparky was so happy with her and comfortable that he almost did not see me when I came to pick him up. Would definitely recommend and we would be working with her againâ

âMaureen and her family are naturals! They definitely had a way with dogs. Our puppy Kyoto immediately took to them and their lovely and spacious home. Maureen sent many updates and videos to show that Kyoto was being cared for and was happy in his new environment. Maureen even enabled him to socialize with another puppy successfully. I am so grateful to have found a safe and happy home away from home for Kyoto. Thank you, Maureen and family! Until next time!â
