Yating took good care of my cat Sofi for the second time! It’s always reassuring to leave Sofi with someone she already knows and trusts, and Yating provided such thoughtful and attentive care again.

This is our second time leaving our pitbull with May and this was also a 5 night stay! We enjoyed the daily pictures of her walks with their dog Pepper and our dog seemed to really enjoy her stay. When we drop her off, she doesn’t turn back around. We appreciate the care May puts into our very active pitbull.

Emily and Steven are wonderful dog sitters! My dog can get a bit anxious while I’m away, but she was very calm and happy when I picked her up and almost didn’t want to leave. They were very attentive with Raina, taking her on nature walks, playing in the backyard and giving her lots of snuggles and sending me photos and updates. Their son Aiden was great with her too and loved to play with her! Raina got so much attention and love here, I will definitely be bringing her back. I highly recommend Emily & Steven for any pet sitting, especially for a fur baby who needs extra love and attention. Thank you!!

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. I live right near a dog park, and love taking the dogs there on my walks. I do walking, boarding, sitting, and daycare. I am home full time and my partner is often home, so we have plenty of time to love on your best friend! We love taking them to the dog park across the street. We love boarding dogs in our home. Since we can’t commit to getting our own dog, it is our passion to spend time with other dogs!

It was our first time leaving Buddy alone in the US and after meeting Mayank and his family we were very relieved that Buddy would be in great hands during our trip. Mayank and family kept us updated about Buddy’s activities throughout the stay and provided great peace of mind to us. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing that Buddy was very well taken care of and he was in fact enjoying his stay. He also got a chance to get used to staying with other dogs for the first time. Would definitely recommend Mayank’s services for any of your furry friends needs.

Lauryn was fantastic with our dog, Sirius! We did a meet and greet beforehand, and she was kind, warm, and professional. During our 9 day trip, she sent photos and updates and seemed to genuinely enjoy having Sirius with her! She made it easier to be away from him for a longer stretch. I would highly recommend Lauryn, and we will definitely be reaching out to her in the future!!

Danielle and her family took great care of our little Coconut. It was Coconut’s first time being away from us so we were worried about her, but Danielle did well to socialize Coconut with her own dogs. Coconut never likes staying on the sofa and she managed to cuddle with their family on the couch. We got plenty of updates and photos of our little girl while we were out of town so it assuaged our worries greatly. I highly recommend Danielle for anyone!

Misha was absolutely amazing with our dog, Jasper. In just three days, she packed in more adventures than we usually manage in weeks! She took him to the beach, the park for a picnic, daily hikes, dog parks, and even a dog-friendly beach where he could play fetch and socialize with other dogs. Jasper warmed up to her almost immediately and was clearly having the time of his life. Misha kept us updated with frequent photos and videos. The updates were fantastic and always seemed to capture Jasper at exactly the right moments, giving us complete peace of mind while we were away. Misha is incredibly caring and attentive, and it was obvious that Jasper felt comfortable, loved, and happy with her. We would not hesitate to book with Misha again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter.

The absolute best sitter ever!!! Tried many on Rover but Allegra tops them all. She and her family were so sweet to my shy and difficult furbaby. Plenty of updates, photos, detailed questions on particulars, I knew exactly what was happening daily. If there was a problem I knew about it and was consulted if things were going great I knew that too. Allegra is my dream sitter and for once I had a worry-free vacation.
