1. Beth P.


“I cannot say enough about how wonderful Beth was with Whitley, who is afraid of everyone and everything! Beth sent us pictures throughout the days Whitley was with her, showing her progress in becoming comfortable and relaxed, and even allowing Beth in to her "circle of trust", which does not happen even with our close friends!! I highly recommend Beth and will definitely have her babysit Whitley again! Thank you so much, Beth!!!”


2. Matthew B.

“Most excellent. Cubsy enjoyed his stay with Matt and Steve. Cubsy is a very social boy and loved having 2 or 3 other dogs to play with while we were gone. He came home tired. A very good sign. Matt provided updates. I also like that they put a tracker on Cubsy during his stay in the unlikely event he got loose. Both Matt and Steve are at home most days so no lack of companionship or supervision.”


3. Louise R.

“Louise was very inviting and reassuring as I had some nerves about leaving my dogs with someone I didn't know for the first time. She sent updates throughout the day on how they were doing. I never felt I had to worry about them in her care. Absolutely recommend Louise. Thank you again!”


4. Alan & Joe S.

“Beau was very well taken care of and living his best life with Alan & Joe. I could tell how comfortable he was in their care, always running towards them and completely at ease. Thank you for giving Beau such a warm, loving environment!!”


5. Tim Z.

“Tim is wonderful with dogs. My boys absolutely loved spending a few days with Tim. He has a natural way with animals and the pups felt right at home within the first moments of our initial meet and greet! I look forward to booking Tim again and again in the not so distant future! Thanks for being so awesome and giving love to my boys while I was away!”


6. Brandon & William R.

“THE BEST! When simba and I originally met Brandon and William we knew we had found our dogs best companions! They were so gracious to invite us in and show us the space Simba would be staying in. On Simba's visit we were always provided updates and photos. Brandon and William are so kind and loving, your pet will go to the best home. Truly so appreciative for their care! Thank you!”


7. JOY (.

“Joy is a fantastic caretaker for our Pommy-Pug dog, Brucie. We receive daily photos and always get a response from her in a friendly, helpful manner. Joy appears to truly enjoy what she's doing and loves caring for others' loved dog companions. We are grateful for Joy and will continue to leave Brucie in her care with the utmost of confidence. Thank you, Joy!”


8. Brent A.

“Brent took great care of our two pups! It was our first time using Rover and he was absolutely willing to do a meet and greet beforehand which helped set our mind at ease and make sure it was a good two way fit. His house was very pet friendly with a beautiful back yard. One of our pups had a couple indoor accidents and he was super chill about it. He sent us pics and updates throughout their stay Which was greatly appreciated. We would 100% use his services again. Thanks so much, Brent, for a terrific experience!”


9. Jesse H.

“Fantastic Dog Sitter!! Julie and her husband went above and beyond expectations. I picked up very happy dogs with the long walks and extra special attention they provided. I very highly recommend!”


11. Angelica R.

“Angelica was a great sitter. She played with my dog, took her on walks and made sure she felt comfortable at night. She sent photos and updates of Zena's day. I felt very blessed to have her as a sitter. I highly recommend her to other pet owners.”


12. Katherine M.
About: My 8-year-old daughter and I moved to the desert a year ago and have desperately wanted to have a fur baby to love. Since we do not have any, we want to extend our love to local pets who are in need of a babysitter while their parents are away. We can board pets up to 50 pounds at our condo, and we can stay overnight 7 days a week since we do not have pets of our own. I am a home health nurse which means my schedule is extremely flexible throughout the work week. Being a nurse also means that I am competent with any medical needs your fur babies have. I can give medications, injections, and wound care. I have a small fenced yard and live in a gated community with plenty of space to walk pets. There are no pets in my home. Prior to being a nurse I spent some time as a private housekeeper and a hotel maid so I am very tidy and always leave places better than when I found them. My daughter and I are both extremely respectful of others. We are both kind, considerate, and helpful.


13. Katie G.

“Katie was a phenomenal sitter for our three kitties for a whole week - we couldn't ask for a better experience! She sent us photos and a thoughtful summary of the day each day. It was reassuring to know our babies were receiving lots of love and attention while we were gone. Additionally, her home was beautiful and clean, and very cat friendly. If we are ever in need of a sitter again, we would reach out to Katie in a heartbeat. ❤️”




14. Ken C.


“Bandit really enjoyed his stay with Ken once he came out of the bushes. Guess he was quite timid at first but then became the fun entertaining terrier that he is!! Will definitely have Ken take care of Bandit in th future.”


15. Andranise B.

“Andranise is great. She asked really good questions about Murray, so she could understand and meet his needs. She contacted us regularly with photos and notes about Murray. She included him wonderfully into her Thanksgiving celebration. Whenever we have to travel without Murray, he will definitely stay with Andranise!”


16. Emily V.
“I can't say enough great things about Emily and the care she provides for my dog. Like many pet owners, my dog means the world to me and it takes a lot for me to trust someone with them. Emily cares for my dog as if it was her own. She is extremely professional, responsible, and caring. She is very flexible and reliable and has made my life much easier. Her scheduling is very flexible and she provides very personalized care, easy to reach and gives updates after her visits. I highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for a dog walking service !”


17. Erin M.

“I felt good about leaving Max with Erin. Her home is clean and free of potential hazards. There is plenty of space for my dog to roam in a fenced in environment and a cool place to potty in the back and sides of her home. She kept me thoroughly updated through out the day with pictures and messages. I would use her services again.”


18. Samantha S.

“Samantha was very responsive, sent pictures and a video of my dog, and was very kind and generous when I was late for dropping off and picking up my dog. The home and backyard was a great environment for my siberian husky and she was great to work with. I would absolutely recommend her help to anyone needing a dog sitter if you're in the area.”


19. Katie & Gary S.

“Katie & Gary were amazing! My pup had such a blast at their home with their sweet dog Dory. They played all day and swam in the pool. I received photo updates throughout her stay. Would love to book again!”


20. Sandra P.

“Sandra and Alessandro were completely amazing! They took Zoey on a complete short notice due to Zoey’s mom being in the hospital. They welcomed her in with open arms treated her as their own! Gave her tons of walks, belly rubs and kisses! I am so thankful to have found such loving people thank you so much! We will be seeing you again!”
