“Benedict & Christina were really wonderful to have watch my little senior dog. When Benedict did the meet & greet, he was inquisitive about how to best care for Jean Luc, his routine & habits, etc. They sent great photos and updates, and were always quick to respond. Highly recommend & look forward to my next booking with them!”
“Jie and George took great care of Coco and maintained proactive communication through the entire time -- with pictures, videos and updates. Jie always responds quickly and is so affectionate and loving. Thank you so much!”
“Paula is the best dog sitter! She is very professional (asks the right questions and takes the time to meet the owner and dog beforehand), compassionate, and really takes it to the next level in caring for them. We left our dog in her care for over 2 weeks and he actually cried missing her when we were taking him home. Our dog is shy and nervous around new people and surroundings, but he immediately trusted her. She lets the dogs sleep in her bed even and even noticed our dog was a picky eater and went above and beyond to make him some food on her own beyond what we provided. She is definitely be our go to sitter!”
“Donna was a great host for Moppet. My dog was welcomed immediately upon entering Donna's home. Donna was also flexible with my pickup time as I had a flight delay due to weather. I would absolutely rebook with Donna next time.”
“Margaret is a true dog person and I felt at ease leaving my girl in her care. She does an excellent job of managing her pack and making sure all dogs are safe and comfortable. My dog is ~80 lbs and has her quirks, so I can't leave her in the hands of just anyone. I am so glad to have found a home environment that my dog is comfortable in while I am out of town and will certainly book with Margaret again.”
“Our favorite Rover dog-sitters moved, but they recommended a new family that took excellent care of our two small pups while we were away. MinJun & Mi Ran P. had a lovely home with a fenced in patio that was very safe and comfortable for our dogs. They were able to feed two finicky eaters, take them for walks, and share many photos and videos of our dogs while we were away, so we knew what they were doing. The bonus was another dog was also boarding and our younger pup had so much fun playing that she is still tired today! Will 100% choose MinJun & Mi Ran for boarding again next time we need it.”
“Tracy and her husband took great care of my pup Sesame while we were away! They gave us many updates throughout the day and made sure to follow my dog’s daily exercise and feeding schedule. Sesame looked like he was happy and enjoying his time! I would definitely recommend Tracy!”
“Melissa was so good with our poodle Stormy. She was able to read our dog’s requests and moods to ensure Stormy’s comfort. Not always an easy feat! Melissa kept us well informed about Stormy’s chronic eye issue. And she also sent pictures and stories every day. Very reassuring. At the end of the visit, Stormy watched Melissa walk away, which means Stormy felt an emotional bond with Melissa. ❤️ Would not hesitate to book with Melissa again in the future!”
“Our dog, Stan, does not easily warm up to people outside our family. We adopted him when he was 8 weeks old, and while he is well-socialized with other dogs, he remains very timid around new people. Before boarding Stan with Kimmy and Jesse, we had used the same sitter on two separate occasions, each for a week. During those stays, Stan always hid under her coffee table and never let her get close to him. However, with Kimmy and Jesse, the experience was completely different. On day four, Kimmy sent us pictures of herself petting Stan—a huge milestone for him. By day five, she was even able to take him on a walk around the neighborhood. Day by day, Stan grew more comfortable in their care. Seeing our timid dog so well cared for made us incredibly happy! We couldn’t have asked for a more caring couple or a more loving environment to board Stan. We are so grateful and look forward to boarding him with them on our upcoming spring break!”
“Nina and Leo were so great with my Quincy. Quincy is a rescue from Korean meat farm and has some issues such as separation anxiety and leash aggression. Nina and Leo were very understanding, seemed extremely experienced, and took great care of Quincy - they even bought him a stuffed toy that he loves and plays with everyday! They provided me with daily updates and photos while I was out of the country for 12 days. I will definitely use them again.”
“Our 1-year-old mini Aussie, Woby, had a wonderful time staying with Jifu while we were away for over a week. It was our first boarding experience, and we couldn't have asked for a better home for him. Jifu was incredibly attentive, providing us with constant updates with photos and videos. We were so relieved to see how happy, relaxed and healthy Woby was in their care. He loved running and playing tennis balls in the backyard, and chewing on toys indoors when it gets too hot outside. Jifu's super friendly dog, Joki, was also a great companion. We're so grateful for Jifu's reliability and kindness, and we'll definitely return for future boarding needs.”
“Michael is very professional, knows what he does, and Muffin liked him from the first moment they've met. I was receiving regular updates throughout Muffin's stay and was given a comprehensive summary of Muffin's behavior and health at the check-out. Can only recommend.”
“Once again, Lavanya took great care of our dog, and she kept us updated with photos. She was also very accommodating of our change in plans, and was very kind, even though it was a lot of extra effort for her.”
“Christina was a great sitter for my pup. Easy to communicate with, great location, regular walks and updates, and very friendly. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a sitter, and will definitely book again!”
“Here's a revised version of your review: --- We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to Rhiannon for taking such excellent care of our senior dog. This time, he experienced some separation anxiety, but Rhiannon went above and beyond to ensure he felt comfortable and relaxed. As frequent travelers, it's a huge relief to know that our "senior citizen" is in such capable and caring hands. We will definitely be asking Rhiannon to look after him again on our next trip.”
“Olga was wonderful! She shared so many videos and photos of Juneau while he was staying with her and was always super responsive. She took Juneau on lots of fun adventures and he came back to us very happy and very tired :)”
“Ahmyah was amazing with Leni, was a great communicator, and was incredibly flexible accommodating our needs when we had to extend Leni's stay with her by an extra day at the last minute. We would absolutely use her as a dogsitter again!”
“Manli went above and beyond the call of dog sitting. She worked with Bosco to get over some of his "new to the home" nerves (growling over food) and kept in constant touch with me about issues that arose (like when Bosco's food ran out and when he was sick). Manli's home vibe is very relaxed and comfortable, and she understands dog behavior. 10/10: would ask Manli to watch Bosco again.”
“Fiona was very patient with our shy 14-year old cat. She kept me informed and sent daily photos of how Koko warmed up nicely. We appreciate the quiet, safe, and loving environment that Fiona and her husband provided for Koko.”
“Kelly took great care of Lucky. He seemed very happy after his time with her and even as we were getting back in the car he went to the end of his leash to get one more look before she left. Highly recommend Kelly!”
