“Ivy was amazing with Boomer. We had a last minute change in the schedule and she accommodated us right away, made special arrangements to have Boomer dropped off so we can make our flight. She sent us lots and lots of pictures and videos of Boomer all the time, and they always put a smile on the kids’ faces! We will most definitely use Ivy again, and refer her to all of our family and friends!”

“EVERYTHING ABOUT EDWIN AND WIFE ANN WAS PERFECT!!! This was our first time dropping off or puppy Charlie to anyone. With a little nervousness and anxiety, Edwin and Ann put it All at Ease!

We left Charlie for 3 days, Ann and Edwin would send us pictures and text messages a couple times a day and would quickly respond to my messages which put was at Ease knowing Charlie was doing good… We will DEFINITELY BE SENDING CHARLIE BACK FOR OUR NEXT VACATION… THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH FOR DOING A GREAT JOB WITH CHARLIE”

“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 Wonderful Dog Sitter! I cannot say enough good things about our experience. My senior dog was in the best hands for 5 days, and I felt completely at ease the entire time. She provided exceptional care, patience, and attention to all his needs from his medication schedule to his feeding schedule . She sent regular updates and pictures, which meant the world to me, and I could tell my dog felt safe, loved, and truly cared for. When I picked him up, he looked relaxed and happy, exactly what every dog parent hopes for. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely passionate about animals, look no further. I would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend! 🐶💛”

“Katherine and Earl were so great with our little pit mix! Before leaving our dog, we set up a meet and greet with them and their pup, who is an absolute sweetheart. Our dog loved running around in their backyard and got TONS of love - we got about 10 photos a day and she always seemed happy! Bella came back to us looking better than ever.”
Sylmar dog parents share their Rover experiences
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. 💛
