“Kristin is absolutely fantastic. She was quick with her reply, extremely communicative throughout my dog’s stay and most importantly my dog came back very happy. I would highly recommend Kristin and plan on using her again.”
“Suzana was awesome! This was our first time using Rover, and we were a bit nervous, because we had found all of our prior sitters through personal connections. But we got a great vibe from Suzana's Rover bio, and our actual experience confirmed that vibe. Our dog Dee Dee LOVED Suzana immediately, and we felt totally comfortable leaving her. Suzana took excellent care of Dee Dee. She also sent frequent photos and updates, so we could see how well Dee Dee was doing. We will definitely ask Suzana to watch Dee Dee again.”

“Yiqi is the best dog sitter in this world! She had my puppy rebel for 5maybe 6 days and he came back potty trained and a totally new puppy. I recommend her and we will be choosing her as long as she is available. She sent pictures and videos daily. Walked him 3xs a day and kept him on his normal meal schedule. When we arrived she had natural dog treats and was very welcoming. This was rebels first time staying away from home and i genuinely can say he had an amazing job. Thank you Yiqi for taking care of rebs and giving him the love he deserves. 💛”

“Rachel accommodated a last minute request and provided great care for our anxious dog, who took to her quickly. She took extra care to make sure he ate and sent lots of pictures and updates to let us know how he adjusted. We will be back!”
“Syd was fabulous! We have a very anxious little pup who has not stayed with anyone since before the pandemic. But we were taking a trip and couldn't take him, so we needed to find someone with whom he could stay. To say that my wife was anxious is a great understatement. Syd was professional and communicated clearly during every stage of the process. She also had to coordinate with my in-laws as they were taking over watching our pup. Everything was extremely smooth and well handled. Most importantly, our pup Miles seemed calm and at ease with Syd. It was a great relief to us and made our trip very pleasant knowing that Miles was well taken care of. We look forward to continuing to have Miles stay with Syd in the future.”

“This is my first time booking with Samantha and I definitely believe this is the start to a great relationship! I've been shopping around for a sitter that my pup feels truly comfortable with and not anxious to get away from, and Samantha provided a warm, welcoming, and fun environment. My Nala was so calm and at ease by the time I picked her up and that warmed my heart. Samantha was flexible and accommodating to some last minute changes to the schedule and even bought dog food because I had ran out right before my trip! What a doll! If you book with her, trust me, you won't be disappointed!”
“Helped me on such a short notice, my reliable go to! She will love bomb your little baby with so much care and appreciation and have you in the loop about everything! An excellent sitter and human being! So happy we met and I have someone who can call my little benji their sitter!”
“So awesome! She sent tons of photos and updates. She was available for all questions and very kind to my special pup. Highly recommended! She's right on the beach, too!”
About: With over 10 years of experience in pet care, I have developed a deep understanding of both dogs and cats. My services extend beyond the basics of feeding, walking, and supervising; I am skilled in administering medication and providing thorough baths when needed. This extensive experience has equipped me to handle a wide range of pet needs with compassion and expertise, ensuring that each furry friend receives the best possible care while their owners are away. I’m currently working part time and will have plenty of time to care and take care of your pet. I will walk as much as you would recommend and also go for runs. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space within the house. I always have an eye out and will block off areas when need be. I keep a clean and tidy home and no scraps are ever left on floor.
“Very friendly, flexible and goes above and beyond. Mango loved spending time with Anton. Throughout her stay he was easy to reach and took lots of pictures. 10/10 would refer to a friend”
