“I don’t even know where to start! Ivy was so amazing! She helped me out so much by watching victor last minute for me. She sent me so many great picture of victor and I could tell he was so happy with his stay! I even felt like he was sad when he had to leave haha i felt so confident that he was very taken care of! I will definitely be messaging ivy if I need a sitter again! Thanks again for everything ivy! I really do appreciate it!”
“This was my pups first time with an extended stay so I was quite hesitant in using someone I had just met. MaryAnn and her family have a great set up at their dog friendly home. It was reassuring to see Brie was comfortable with MaryAnn from the start of the meet and greet up until the time I picked her up. Pick up and drop off was easily coordinated. I also received plenty of pictures and updates throughout the week. MaryAnn clearly provided a safe and loving place for Brie to stay. I could not be happier with the care she received. Brie would gladly stay with MaryAnn again!!”
“Rachel and Preston were amazing dog sitters! They texted me daily updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. During the stay, my one-year-old dog and their dog became best friends, and it was clear my dog was having the best time and receiving lots of love and attention. I feel so lucky to have found the best care for my dog, and I will definitely use their services again!”
“Milo stayed with Basilio for more than a week and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trusted dog boarding and sitter. He communicates well and gives update to us about our dog. Milo had a little anxiety issue and he was prompt enough to help him get through it. We would definitely look for him again in the future. Thank you for making Milo feel at home and well taken care of.”
“Had our 5 month old golden doodle stay with Robert for an entire week while we were out on vacation and we feel great that our pup was very well taken cared of. Robert sent us daily videos and photos without even asking. He was also given walks and played with other dogs that Robert was caring for. Thank you again Robert for making sure our pup was well fed, happy and taken cared of while we were away! We won’t hesitate to send our pup there again! ?”
“If you want someone to care for your dog like you would, Laura is definitely that person. This is my first time using Rover or any kind of doggy sitter and I couldn’t be happier. I got constant updates on how my dog was doing and I could tell that my dog was very happy. She treated him as if he was her own and that I couldn’t ask for more. Highly recommend her and will definitely book her again. Thank you Laura!”
“I appreciated Melisa and Alexis daily review and they followed my pet’s routine. He was a bit nervous as it was his first time boarding but they kept on sending me pictures and updates every few hours. I appreciated that they let me know about his anxiety his first night, with restless sleep and offered to correct what was causing his anxiety which worked the 2nd night. He slept better and I really appreciated their proactiveness with it. I am at ease now knowing that I found a loving family to take care of my lil Cinco when I need it. Thank you so much Melisa and Alexis.”
“Lizet was wonderful with bear. She gives you updates and photos/ videos on your pet which it really appreciative of. She treats your pets like they were her own. Bear felt comfortable with lizet and you can tell she enjoyed her stay with lizet. Bear found her forever sitter and new friends 😁💙”
“Great experience. Great place. My dog seemed happy and playful after leaving there. I am sure he had a good time. I received pictures throughout the day of him and what he was doing.”
“OMG!!!! What can I say. Skylar is the absolute best. My babies had so much fun with her and her family. Her communication during their stay was phenomenal. Always provided updates and photos. Skylar was available and responded promptly even if I just wanted to check in. I will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you!!!!!!”
“Armando was very quick to respond and did a great job with our puppy Haku! We could tell Haku had a great time and was very calm and comfortable in Armando’s presence. Armando’s yard is also very well kept and spacious. We will definitely book again!”
“Kat, Earl and Lucy were amazing! We were at ease knowing our shy pup was being taken care of. Kat updated us throughout the day with so many photos, we will definitely keep them in mind for the next time Koby needs a place to stay!”
“Candy has been wonderful at taking care of my dog Arlo. From the meet and greet, he was already comfortable in her home and the friendly, safe environment she created. She gave me updates on how he was doing and sent photos as well. I felt secure knowing he was doing well and was in good hands. I would definitely book another stay with Candy again.”
“Ilona took great care of my two senior Labs. One has to take multiple medications throughout the day and Ilona was willing to take on the added work. She sent pics most everyday of the dogs looking relaxed and happy. thanks Ilona - great job!”
“We had a wonderful experience leaving our dog Happy, a Chiweenie (Dachshund–Chihuahua mix), with Ms.Li. From the very beginning, communication was great and reassuring. The sitter shared daily updates and photos, which meant so much to us. Happy always looked relaxed, comfortable, and happy, and it was clear he was receiving genuine care and attention. Thanks to this, we were able to fully enjoy our time away without any stress or worries. We are very satisfied and would highly recommend Ms.Li to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog”
“Absolutely amazing! Very accomadating and treats your dog with the upmost care. 5 stars isn’t enough to describe how happy I am with my experience. Highly recommend!!”
“This is our second time leaving Biscuit with Susana, and it was a wonderful experience again! She takes great care of him and sends pictures and videos throughout the day, which is so appreciated. We will definitely leave Biscuit with her again in the future. Highly recommend!”

I was sent pictures through out Aces stay and it’s safe to say he looked very comfortable. Typically if he’s scared and feeling anxious he’s not very active but he was playing with the ball and exploring the new grass areas at his stay. Thank you so much! We will be back.
Milo stayed with Basilio for more than a week and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trusted dog boarding and sitter. He communicates well and gives update to us about our dog. Milo had a little anxiety issue and he was prompt enough to help him get through it. We would definitely look for him again in the future. Thank you for making Milo feel at home and well taken care of.
Robert was a life saver to our family vacation. We booked with Robert while driving from the Bay Area to Southern California and he responded within minutes. Robert kept us updated daily with either pictures and/or videos of Roxy hanging out with other doggies that Robert boards. Roxy came home a happy and tired pup. We would definitely recommend Robert for your boarding needs in the Southern California area.
Ivy took wonderful care of Willow last weekend. She was very responsive to all my questions and always replied quickly, which gave me so much peace of mind. I really appreciated the 2–3 photo updates each day — it meant a lot to see Willow comfortable and happy. I truly felt that Willow was safe and well cared for in their home. Thank you, Ivy, for treating her like family. 💛
