“Alexa and her family were such great hosts and caretakers for our dog Bo - lovely to coordinate with and obviously provided a super good care. Could tell Bo was relaxed and happy from the regular photo/video updates. Will definitely try to rebook with Alexa again soon! 🐾 🦮❤️”


“Isabella was so so great with our dog, Benji! She kept us updated on how he was each day and really went the extra mile with making sure Benji was comfortable. Really appreciate the great care and I wouldn’t think twice about leaving my dog with her again ! ❤️”

“Jerica and Nori were amazing! Nori was playful and accommodating with a new dog on his turf and he and Toby played so well together! I got lots of photos and updates from Jerica during Toby’s stay and it was clear Toby had a great time and was well cared for. Highly recommend Jerica! We will re-book in a heartbeat!”

“Casey has truly changed how we feel about leaving our elderly dog in a sitters care. She provides a loving and safe home for our anxious old man to relax, reliably issues his many medications, keeps us updated with pictures and texts, and takes away our own anxiety that comes with leaving a pet for week+ travel. Petey absolutely loves Casey (and Ron!), and I could not recommend her more!”

“Jessica is amazing! She sent TONS of high quality photos of our dog every day. We can tell she took great care of him and he had an awesome time. We would definitely recommend her and plan on boarding our dog with her again!”

“Yingqi was outstanding. Very communicative sending photos and videos and took excellent care of our dog. I felt comfortable knowing that she was in great hands and my dog looked really happy being there. Would definitely book again!”


“Amazing! I booked a last minute stay over Fourth of July weekend and Mana was so accommodating. She squeezed in a pre stay introduction for the dogs, then took amazing care of Obi over the three days. I got so many photos (and a video) and she even refilled my poop bag dispenser from her own stash when ours ran out and sent obi home with a little extra treat. Outstanding sitter, would book again without hesitation.”

“Ana took amazing care of my dog! She gave me frequent updates and pictures about how my pup was doing. I could tell how much love, attention, and care her and her daughter were giving to my dog. They took her on frequent walks and even took her hiking! I very strongly recommend Ana!!”

“A true dog lover who treated my pup like her own. From daily park visits to allowing my dog to sleep in her bed, I really appreciated the care to making sure my dog both her daily exercise and love.”


“Ponyo did a great job helping my pup feel comfortable with a pet sitter for the first time! Thanks for the regular updates so I knew he was doing well and in good hands!”

“We also appreciated Adam’s communication and flexibility, as well as his comfort with our sometimes nervous yet larger dog. He updated us and was very thorough and Greta was a happy and comfortable pup at pickup. Highly recommended!”

“This was our second time with Cheryl and it was fantastic again! Cheryl is always patient and thoughtful with our active pup. Would recommend Cheryl to anyone, she’s really fantastic.”

“Lorena was great. This was Tuesday's first time staying with someone new and it worked out really well. Lorena and her family made her feel comfortable. Lorena was very responsive, flexible and understanding!”

“Jiani provided attentive care for my cat while we were away for a week. My cat, Todie, stayed with Jiani at her place, and Todie is usually very shy and nervous in new places. With frequent photo updates from Jiani, I was able to tell that Todie grew comfortable in her care rather quickly, and it relieved much stress on my end. Jiani was very flexible with picking up Todie and dropping her back off, too, which made planning easy for me! I will absolutely rebook with Jiani in the future!”


“Eleanor was absolutely amazing with our pups while we were traveling internationally. She kept us at ease with consistent updates and lots of photos, which we really appreciated. It was clear they were in great hands the entire time. We’d highly recommend to anyone looking for a sitter!”

“Bentley had his own vacation while we took ours! Devan was communicative and make sure to keep my little guy active. Bentley even cried when he left he had so much fun! I highly recommend!”

“Yu-fang was super attentive and sent very cute photos with detailed updates for our dog. I'd love to work with her again. I really appreciate her taking a same day booking and working with me on scheduling. Highly recommended!!!”

Amy was a wonderful dog sitter. All communication was prompt and felt unhurried. She also told me without my asking when flexibility of schedule was possible. Most importantly, my 1.5 year-old miniature dachshund Hyperion seemed to feel safe and comfortable with her overnight. As of summer 2026, she lives in a house with a yard in a quieter part of town. Lastly, her first photo and text update came the very night I dropped my baby off, which was a great relief to me as a pet parent hiring a sitter for the first time. Thanks a bunch~

This was our first time booking with Jaden as our usual Rover sitter was unavailable. We were a bit nervous since this was a long trip we were leaving our dog Autzen for. But Jaden was amazing and took great care of Autzen and he came home very happy. We were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying and all was a great experience. Would definitely book again!

Ethan took great care of our dog, Leya! He communicated if there was any issues and let us know how she was doing. We appreciated his understanding of our girl, as she requires some patience with twice/day medicine and needing to adjust to new places on the first days. We were also grateful that he helped us with our last minute request. We would be happy having him take care of our pup again!

Harlene was AMAZING w our high energy Kovi. She gave ample updates and provided so many cute pictures that really kept our minds at ease while we were away! We knew Kovi was super comfortable with her because while he usually puts on little hunger strikes while he’s boarded, he ate up all his food immediately when given by Harlene. Couldn’t recommend enough!☺️

Zach came in clutch and watched Theo after our other sitter plan fell through last minute, even though it conflicted with his availability. This was only Theo’s second stay with Zach and Maya, but he ran right up to the house so excited to play and explore. Zach always takes such great care of Theo and keeps us updated when we are away. Theo got lots of snuggles, walks and trips to the park. Zach is so patient and loving towards our boy. We feel like we are dropping him off at a good friend’s and feel comforted that Theo is in good hands. Can’t recommended Zach enough!

Zhongni was a great sitter. She had plenty toys for Scooby to enjoy. She sent me great photos of my pup having the best time of his life. She took him on a few walks and he slept like a baby during the night. She was very responsive. I'd definitely plan to book with her in the future.
