“Nyessa is simply wonderful! The way she cared for my dog was beyond what I could have hoped for. She’s so gentle, kind, and attentive! it felt like leaving my fur baby with family. I’m so thankful for her kindness and can’t wait to book with her again!”

“Tyler and Patricia took very good care of my 5 year old Shiba Inu. I felt very comfortable leaving my baby in their care. They kept me posted about their activities and kind enough to send me pictures of my baby being completely pampered and spoiled. I highly recommend them and will definitely bring Hachi back to them very soon!”

“I can’t express my gratitude enough to have found Julie and Maria I was completely at ease not only because I met them prior to my puppies stay but throughout the entire time I had an update and how my fur baby was doing. I felt the genuine concern from them to assure me that she was in great hands. I honestly have to say that they are a blessing to me and my puppy and I look forward to not only having by pup stay again but a lifetime friendship these two ladies are beautiful humans a heart of pure kindness ????”

“If we could rate more than 5 stars we would!! Corinne and Louis took such great care of our Barry boy! They were super great at communicating and keeping us updated with pictures of Barry throughout his stay. They kept Barry active with playing fetch and going on plenty of walks! We definitely will be booking again in the future! Thank you so much Corinne and Louis!”

“We recently used Soonok as a dog sitter for the first time to care for our senior terrier, and the experience exceeded our expectations. Naturally, we were a bit anxious leaving our older dog in someone else’s care, but Soonok immediately put us at ease. Soonok was incredibly kind, patient, and attentive, taking extra care to accommodate our dog’s needs and pace. What really stood out was the consistent communication—we received daily updates and videos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dog was in great hands and being treated with genuine care and affection. We’re so grateful for the experience and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Soonok to others. We will very likely be using her services again in the future.”

“This was our first time using this app. We needed a super last minute sitter for Honne and Arriyanna was the perfect choice. She sent pictures and updates everyday. She was very patient and understanding of Honne’s separation anxiety and whinnying. 10 out of 10 would hire her as a sitter again!”


“I went on a trip and was lucky enough to find Max and Zai through Rover. Snow stayed at their home for a few days and absolutely loved her time with them. They made sure she was comfortable, happy, and well cared for throughout her stay. Max and Zai were very communicative and sent regular photo updates, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. They are genuinely wonderful people who took exceptional care of Snow. Thank you both so much for all the love, attention, and support you gave her! P.S. I completely missed this on their profile, but they do ask that you bring diapers if your pet needs them—so be sure to pack diapers for your furry friend!”

“Megan and her family provided exceptional care for Ollie, ensuring he was treated as one of their own. If you are feeling anxious about leaving your pets, rest assured that they are in good hands. I was in a bind and they came through for me. Thank you very much! I will use services again. 😇”

“Great experience!! Marilyn and her family kept me updated daily with pictures and a video of my pup playing. I felt extremely comfortable leaving him with her for 3 nights and picked up a super happy well taken care of dog when I returned ♥️”

“Our dog Blue had the best time staying with Dianiris and her family. From the get go, Dianiris responded quickly to texts and was very kind and reassuring (I might have been having a little separation anxiety of my own lol). I really appreciated all of the check-ins and photos she sent while Blue was with her too. Dianiris will definitely be our go-to sitter if we are back in the area!”

“Monique was AMAZING with Quigley!!! She sent updates every day and Quigley had a blast during his stay. She was easy to communicate with and we knew Quigley was living his best life during his long weekend away from home. We would not hesitate to book with Monique again!”

You can expect plenty of photo updates, quick communication, and one very happy pet upon your return!
“Mac had an amazing time with a lot of playtime and new Friends ! We received multiple pictures and updates throughout the day, I will definitely rebook and would totally recommend!”

“We've been searching for a reliable pet sitter near Cypress, CA, and were fortunate to find someone like Sue! She was incredibly responsive and generous in many ways. Sue consistently sent us photos and videos of our dog while we were out of town, which was very reassuring. She even took our pup to the dog park, and it seems our dog was happier than ever! We highly recommend Sue if you care about your dog's well-being.”

“Christa was awesome! My dog Toby is pretty finicky, but she went above and beyond, going to the grocery store to get him cheese and other special treats and making sure he felt comfortable. He also gets itchy skin especially when he is nervous so she got him coconut oil to rub on his fur. She also took him on so many fun beach adventures and concerts in the park which I really appreciated. I was really happy with Christa! Would trust her again to take care of my Toby!”

“Fantastic cat sitter. Available on short notice and took amazing care of 2 cats. She sent frequent updates including pictures and videos, easy to communicate with, and our cats loved her. She was very kind and loving to our boys. We had to go out of town on short notice and she was very open to our needs. Really appreciated will definitely be utilizing her services next time”
“It was such a great time with Cecilia:) Xavi stayed at her home which is a perfect place for dog very well! She walked my dog and sent me some pictures of my dog as well! That was very thoughtful. I will definitely use her service again!!! ”

Another successful stay with Marlo. Fourth of july, we have a block party and our house is kids central. I It was better for the dog to not be here. Plus the public fireworks are only a couple blocks away. We felt the dog would be safer, alittle further from it and knew that Marlo would keep kiwi safe, as well as have a great time. She went out of the way to give kiwi options to feel comfortable during the armageddon fireworks that happen in long beach neighborhoods, on top of the public displays. I can't recommender highly enough and know that we will be using her many more times in the future

Elise does a great job puppy sitting my 13 week old min pin. He can't walk around outside yet because of still doing his shots, so he needs to be carried around in a sling/bag when she walks other dogs. He gets exposure while remaining safe, so I really appreciate that!

Monique was a loving, caring, and responsible sitter for our 1.5 year-old Mini Poodle, Kiki. Monique sent us Kiki updates and photos every day... even more during the first days when we were most anxious. The photos and updates showed Kiki playing with Monique's kids, snuggling with them on the sofa, enjoying her treats, and going on walks. That reassurance was much appreciated! Monique's house is neat and clean, in a nice neighborhood, with a secured backyard, park space nearby, and lots of nearby places to walk to. Kiki came home in high spirits and weight-neutral. Overall, this is a great sitter and a great place for Kiki when we're away on vacation.

I have to admit, I was a bit anxious about leaving Lacey at daycare. I’m definitely a "helicopter parent" when it comes to our princess, and I think I suffered from separation anxiety way more than she did! Fortunately, Lisa was absolutely awesome. She kept us updated and sent photos of Lacey to check in, which totally put my mind at ease. After we booked, she even received another request from a client and took the time to check in with me first to make sure we were comfortable with it—which we deeply appreciated. Lisa is incredibly flexible, understanding, and cared for our little girl as if she were her own fur baby. We highly recommend her and will absolutely be using her services again. Lisa, if you see this, THANK YOU!

Kim and Matt were great to Jellybean and provided a lot of pictures and updates! Unfortunately Jellybean did not handle being in a new environment well, but it was no fault of Kim and Matt. They continued to provide a lot of walks, attention, and great care to Jellybean despite her unexpected behavior. I would highly recommend Kim and Matt to anyone looking for highly attentive and caring sitters! They are truly the nicest family and I feel absolutely terrible about Jellybean’s unexpected behavior with them. They handled her extremely well and I wish them the best of luck in their dog-sitting endeavors because they’re such wonderful people!

Shannon took care of our nearly 14-year-old chihuahua for a week while we were away on our babymoon, and I truly could not have asked for a better sitter. Our little guy requires lifelong medication twice a day and occasionally experiences seizure symptoms, so finding someone we could fully trust was incredibly important to us. Shannon was absolutely amazing. She stayed perfectly on schedule with his medications, took such great care of his feeding routine, and was very accommodating to all of our requests. She also sent us lots of updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. What impressed me most was how naturally she understood our chihuahua’s personality and needs almost immediately, without us having to explain much at all. It was clear that she genuinely cared for him and made him feel comfortable and loved. I’m so grateful we found Shannon, and she will absolutely be our go-to sitter in the future. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our precious little guy.💕 We were truly able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing he was in such good hands.
