“Laura, Carolina and Enrique were very welcoming of Nora. They took really good care of her. It was her first time here and she loved their backyard. Nora is a mini aussie who loves to run and their backyard was perfect for her.”
“Hazard took wonderful care of our boy Vinny! She was incredibly responsive, sent updates with photos regularly and most importantly Vinny was very comfortable staying with her and her family. We were so happy with the care and attention he received. We would highly recommend her pet sitting services to anyone looking for a responsible person- we were not worried at all while we were away. Hopefully we will be able to get away again for a few days-if so, Hazard will be hearing from us again. She was just wonderful- thank you Hazard!! ❤️”
“Kylo had another great stay with Anner! He took extra care after a few updates for Kylo, and I so appreciate having someone nearby who is familiar with my pup. Thanks, Anner!”
“Nicole was great she took great care of my bichpoo. He has a lot of anxiety so I’m very careful of who I leave him with. I was out of the country and Nicole stayed in touch sent pictures and reassured me Maxwell ( my dog) was in great hands !!!! I will definitely have him stay with her again in the future.”
“If you're looking for someone to care for your pet with the utmost love, attention, and dedication, look no further than Christina. She truly went above and beyond during the 6 days she watched my 2-month-old puppy. From the moment I dropped him off, I knew he was in safe hands. Christina made him feel like part of her family, showering him with affection, keeping him engaged, and ensuring he felt comfortable and secure. What truly stood out was her exceptional communication throughout the entire experience. She sent me a steady stream of photos and videos, keeping me updated on his adventures, which gave me peace of mind and let me enjoy my time away without worry. It was so clear that Christina was genuinely invested in his well-being and happiness. I can’t thank Christina and her family enough for her incredible care. My puppy came back happy, healthy, and even more social, thanks to the amazing experience he had with her. If you're considering someone to look after your fur baby, Christina is hands down the best. You’ll never have to worry again – your pup will be loved like part of the family.”
“Kathryn is probably the best Rover sitter we’ve had (and we’ve used some lovely sitters). Our dogs are anxious when they’re left, and Kathryn really helped them feel at ease - her fenced yard was perfect and they just seemed to trust her. I’d highly recommend booking your pet’s stay with her!”
“Marilyn was so friendly and her home was such a sweet and happy place for Birdie ! Marilyn communicated with me throughout and sent photos and videos! I will definitely be booking with Marilyn again !”
“Irene was awesome, very good vibes, a peaceful home setting & my Shih Tzu loved staying with her, playing in her big enclosed yard & going on walks with her, etc. while we were on our family cruise. My fur baby was in good hands with her & I'll definitely board her with Irene the next time we go away!”
“This is our second time having Gwynne watch our pup! She truly creates a vacation for our dog while we are away! She is safe, gets tons of exercise, plays with other dogs, goes on hikes & swims. We couldn’t ask for anything better! Definitely recommend her!”
“The best with my girl Persephone. She was able to take her in very last minute and was very very flexible. I really appreciate all of her help and the way she was with Persephone during this tough transitional period. Loved all the pictures and videos she sent and I noticed that Persephone became less stressed overtime which I love. Highly recommend Madalys to everyone!”
“Jessica and Zachary were excellent caretakers of Luna while we were away for a long weekend. We appreciated the updates, timely and effective communication, and knew she was in good hands given their level of experience with caring for dogs of all types. We definitely plan on working with them again soon and Luna looks forward to future stays.”
“She was very nice with my dog. He had a wonderful time playing with dogs in her house. She took special care in the night as my dog is new to pet sitting. He ate, slept and played well.”
“Anna is so kind and took the best care of our dog! He was very calm when I picked him up, I can tell he really enjoyed staying with her. She sent photos and updates regularly and it was great to know he was doing well while we traveled. I truly appreciate the level of care Anna provided and welcomed our dog into her household. I’m grateful to connect, and I couldn’t imagine a better person to look after our pup! Thank you!!!”
“Suzi was an absolute lifesaver for us while we were away. Her exceptional care and daily updates provided us with total peace of mind, and Boone had an absolute blast in her company. Five stars don't do justice to her dedication and love for dogs! Highly recommend Suzi as your go-to sitter.”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about our experience! Ariel and her lovely family welcomed my dog Manolo as one of their own. For the first time ever, I could actually tell Manolo was sad the next day—it was like he missed Ariel and her family. They even gave him a teddy bear, and he hasn’t stopped cuddling with it since! They are truly heaven-sent. I received daily updates and adorable pictures that gave me peace of mind and made me feel confident that Manolo was safe, loved, and well cared for. I’m so grateful we found them—we will definitely be back!”
“Lynn and her dog assistant Doris were great hosts. Bella had a lot of fun and exercise playing in the back yard. The photos and updates were also nice. I will definitely contact Lynn again in the future.”
“"Catalina stepped in to pet sit Sparky on short notice, and I couldn't be more grateful. She was kind, attentive, and took great care of him. Sparky seemed happy and well-loved when I returned. Highly recommend Catalina for her reliability and genuine care for pets!"”
“Charlotte is the best. From beginning to end, the entire experience was flawless. She responded to my initial inquiry immediately, clarified a few vague points, locked the deal, offered to assist with slightly modified plans, simplified my "way too complicated" instructions and made them better, treated Max better than I ever would have, sent photos and status updates, brought him back happy and tired, and just made every part of my trip burden-free. Charlotte is the Best!!!”
“My dog had a fantastic time at Jodie’s — her dogs were very friendly and he fit in immediately, and he definitely had a great time playing with them because he slept hard when he got home! He’s a rescue and can be a little touchy sometimes, but when I picked him up he was snuggled up in Jodie’s arms like she was his new best friend.”
