“Really sweet family and just overall perfect experience for both me and my pup. Before boarding: Alani and her families invited us to do meet-and-greet, asked questions about my dog’s usual routines, sent information about other two dogs mine will be staying with ahead of time. During the stay: Alani sent photos and updates daily. Informed me if anything was unusual. They took her to a dog park when the weather got cooler. Pick-up: They were very accommodating while my flight schedules changed. Alani gave me an update on how my dog stay went, anything she noticed, etc. My dog seemed well-played and happy. I felt like they understood how stressful and nervous it can be to part with a pup for extended period, and did everything to help. Alani and her family will always be my first choice to sit my pup going forward. Thank you.”
“Our dogs always love staying at Brooke’s home. Very thankful to have a place we can trust they will be well taken care of when we travel out of country.”
“Cindy is a great sitter and really understands our fuball’s routines. Gus has IVDD, needs eye drops 3x per day and lots of love and attention - Cindy helps in all these areas!”
“Ashley was an excellent sitter! It was my first time using her, and the meet and greet went well. My pup stayed with her for a week and she was very responsive, and communicated really well. I felt like she genuinely cared about my dog and he seemed well taken care of. Would highly recommend.”
“Pamela was wonderful. She took such great care of Montana and kept me updated with daily texts and pictures. We've already booked her services again!”
“We couldn’t be happier with Eric‘s dog sitting service! He cared for our puppy, Izzy for 16 days and truly went above and beyond. From daily walks to giving her medicine and making sure she felt safe and comfortable at home, he treated her as if she were his own. Eric‘s home is spotless, welcoming, and perfectly suited for dogs. Izzy was pampered the whole time, and we loved receiving the constant stream of photos and videos that kept us connected while we were away. This with a surprise was the custom-made poop bag pouch with a cutout of Izzy - such a thoughtful gift! We felt completely at ease knowing Izzy was in his care and will absolutely turn to Eric again whenever we need help. Highly recommended!”
“Our first time using a pet sitter for our 18 month old female GSD and the experience could not have been better, for us or our pup! Right from the meet and greet, Christian and Hana calmed any worries we had and left us with great confidence that our pup would be taken care of. Hana provided updates with photos throughout her stay, and we were able to enjoy ourselves knowing she was in great hands. We will definitely be using Christian and Hana again and are very grateful to have found them!”
“Susan and Peter were amazing! Coco was so comfortable and well taken care of at their house. They provided frequent updates and photos, which we really appreciated. We are planning to have Coco visit Susan and Peter again in a few weeks. I would highly recommend them to any pet owner looking for a trusted sitter.”
“Darbi and Nathanael took excellent care of our three pups. They offered a meet and greet ahead of our first booking, which was wonderful. We felt reassured and worry free leaving our pups in their care traveling. They paid careful attention to each pup’s needs and shared updates of how it was going. When we picked up our pups, they seemed to have had a wonderful time and were very content. Thank you for your care! We appreciate it and will rebook.”
“Marina did such an amazing job watching our dear doggos! She made sure they didn't have anytime to miss us by keeping them so active and busy! We appreciate the love and care she showed them. The smiles and exhaustion were evidence of the care she took! Thanks again 🤠”
“Ana and her boyfriend were absolutely fabulous!!! They took care of my dog like their own pet and I could tell at the time of pickup my dog had become really fond of them. All instructions for food etc were well followed. Ana was amazing at sending me pictures everyday which eased my anxiety. I would definitely use their services again and highly recommend them to all pet owners looking for an amazing sitter .”
“Christi was amazing to work with. It’s clear she loves dogs and wants to make sure your pup has a good experience. She took wonderful care of my dog and went above and beyond when we thought Willow might have a UTI. My dog came home happy and tired. :) I will absolutely use her again!”
“Our pup had a great stay with Kelly. She genuinely seems happy to have dogs stay at her house and sent us lots of updates and photos. We will definitely use Kelly again!”
“My first impression of Julia was that she was very warm, kind and loving person and my dogs fell right in with her dogs. I received many picture updates during the stay with comments on how they were doing. This was my first stay with them definitely not the ladt.”
“Alex is awesome! Our family had to go out of town for couple days and first time to be away without my dog. I was glad to found Alex to take care my dog Mochi. Alex would always send updates on what Mochi is doing, so I would not worry and felt at ease. Thank You Alex!”
“Our third time booking with Ash & we continue to be extremely happy with the care she provides for our pups! Our flight was delayed & she kindly let us pick the dogs after scheduled pick up. We love the daily updates/pics of our pups spending time with their furry friends. Would highly recommend!!”
“Absolutely amazing experience! My dog was happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for during the stay. I received frequent updates, photos, and thoughtful communication throughout the booking. I truly appreciated the care and attention given to my dog and would not hesitate to book again. Highly recommend!!!!!!”
“I have engaged John and Donna's service a couple of times and they are just terrific sitters. They took care of our Bruno as if he was their own. Our dog has become comfortable staying in their house and I wouldn't hesitate to bring him back again, when the need arises, as I know he will always be loved there.”
“Highly recommended!! She took care of starla like her own dog she give updates all day long i went for a vacation and it was so peaceful knowing she is well taken care of!! It was our first time leaving her so we were so stressed but once i got updates of her she was very happy with her, playing, eating sleeping on bed with her, overall, she was so happy. When we got there to get her she was not even ready to come back she was missing her!I Thats shows she was treated very well! highly recommend!!”

“Olivia is such a great person and so kind! She watched my cat for a little over a week, and she was absolutely amazing! She took great care of my cat and kept me updated while I was away! My cat was happy and well cared for when I got home. I would definitely recommend Olivia to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Veronika was quick to respond to my initial request. This was for a short, but important trip. Veronika reassured me that my baby, Stache was in good hands, & I got the Rover cards with each visit. If she is available, I will definitely request Veronika again!”
“Erin did an amazing job taking care of my two cats while I was away! They are usually skittish around new people (the last cat sitter i used didn’t see either of my cats over a week). Erin though had them both playing with her and coming out to greet her and sent lots of updates”
“Estefany was great with my cat! My cat is shy and would hide when she first came in but she hungout and waited until he felt brave enough to come out for attention and pets. I felt reassured and confident my cat was in great hands the whole time I was away!”
“Morgan did a great job watching over my kitties and house while I was out of town! She was always on time for the visits and followed all the instructions I left for her. I definitely recommend her!”
“Avery did a wonderful job taking care of our dog. She is trustworthy and dependable. Most importantly, our dog enjoys her company. We plan on using her services again. This was our 2nd booking with her.”
“Jadon did an amazing job caring for my two cats while I was away. He consistently sent photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind and made me feel like I could truly trust him with my pets and my home. What stood out the most was seeing how comfortable my cats were with him in the pictures. They're usually selective about people, and it was obvious that they trusted him and felt safe in his care. I would absolutely recommend Jadon to anyone. He’s truly reliable, thoughtful, and trustworthy.”
“Theresa took great care of my two kitties while I was out of town for two weeks! The girls warmed up to her immediately which is saying something as my youngest is usually very sketchy around people she does not know! I got daily pictures and can see them Playing with Theresa which was wonderful! Though I missed them terribly, I did not worry about them under Theresa’s great care! Very Happy !!!”
“We have Steph booked to check in on our Miss Marley Mae in the morning while we are on vacation. However our evening help fell through tonight, and at the last minute we reached out to Steph to see if she could add on a last minute check-in. She said yes, and was able to help us out in a pinch! She spent quality time with Marley, sent us lots of pictures. She has been a huge help, would definitely book with her again!”
“Tabbitha took excellent care of my kitties and promptly sent me visit cards with photos each time, which I really appreciated. She is quick to respond to messages and I felt relieved to have someone so caring and conscientious looking after my kids while I was away.”
“Am absolute delight! She was so thorough with each visit and was very patient with my boys despite their skittish nature of always hiding. Going above and beyond to at least try to see where they might have tucked themselves away so I'd know what they were up to. Really gave me peace of mind while I was away.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stella was absolutely amazing with our dog, Stormy! From the very beginning, she communicated with us consistently, checked in, followed everything we asked, and truly went above and beyond. Moises and I were able to see some of her visits through our home cameras, and what stood out most was how caring, patient, and interactive she was with Stormy. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing that Stormy was not only being taken care of, but was receiving genuine attention, affection, and companionship while we were away. Stella is dependable, thoughtful, and clearly has a heart for animals. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their dog. We will absolutely be using Stella again. She has definitely become our go-to sitter for Stormy! Thank you again, Stella, for taking such wonderful care of our girl. ❤️🐾”
About: Having grown up with cats for over half my life, thanks to my sister’s three cats and my brother’s longtime companions, I understand feline behavior deeply, offering patient, affectionate, and intuitive care that sets me apart from other cat sitters.
About: It first started with my mom's coworker's five cats, followed by caring for a cat and dog for three weeks. My requests gradually began to include both dogs and cats. In June 2024, I adopted my own kitten. His name is Zeus. He is my first cat, and I have learned a lot since adopting him. I frequently hear how cats receive a bad representation about being low maintenance, or cold and distant, but I could disagree. Both cats and dogs both need equal amount of love, attention, and playtime, they are just in different forms of love.

About: I have had a dog since I was a child and have cared for all types of dogs, from a mini dachshund to a great dane mix. I have experience with shelters dogs, dogs with anxiety, and service dogs. I currently work from home and do not have a set schedule. I do have family dinners sunday nights and am typically gone around 4 hours but otherwise, I am typically only gone an hour or so every few days. I live in an apartment but love taking the dogs out on long walks every few hours. I have a retired service dog who will keep your dog company.
“Susan did an amazing job watching Ava for the day! Took her out for walks multiple times, played with her and sent multiple updates and picture to let me know she was settling in well. I would highly recommend Susan!”
“Cindy is fantastic. Our dog spent a few workdays while one of us was traveling, and he clearly felt comfortable and happy while at the same time Cindy provided a structured, calm, and enriching environment for him. He got walks and puzzles and even another dog friend to play with on occasion. Cindy was very patient, attentive, and kind. She has an excellent confident demeanor and establishes boundaries effectively and naturally with the pups. I would recommend Cindy in a heartbeat.”
About: I’ve taken care of family friends and neighbors pets for years! I have watched every animal - from dogs and cats to lizards and snakes, and love every moment of it.

I am currently a college student, but with my schedule, I am able for walking or check-ins almost any time of the week! Weekends are completely open besides Sundays 12-2. I always ensure that my clients homes look better than I found it! I understand everyone has a different way of raising their animals and I respect any training or specifications given to me. I am comfortable with just about anything for pets!

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to send photo updates during walks. Whether your pup needs a quick potty break or a long energy-burning walk, I’ve got it covered! I am currently an ASU Architecture student. I have class Wednesday and Friday for 5 hours! I am free Friday nights to Wednesday mornings for longer periods of boarding. For walks, I can fit them in any day of the week and whatever works best with your schedule! I often go on walks by myself in my neighborhood. I usually hike “A” Mountain and walk around the whole ASU campus. I love any kind of walk whether they are longer or shorter depending on activity levels of your pets! I live near campus at ASU, close to Mill Ave, campus, Tempe Town Lake, and “A” Mountain! This is a great area for walks and getting outside. I live in an apartment with patios and outdoor spaces. I have lived with pets my whole life from dogs, cats, and even lizards! I am very dependable when it comes to animal care and everything they need!

“Cola loved coming to Kelly’s home everyday! She knew where she was being dropped off and was excited every time. We will be using Kelly again for daycare!”
“Alex is wonderful we got numerous pictures and updates for Lila’s two week stay and she loved being there with the other dogs. We will definitely be using her again. I can’t recommend her enough.”

About: Your dog will be treated like family while staying in our home. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust, and I strive to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment for every dog in my care. One thing that sets my care apart is that I only accept one family's booking at a time. While I may care for multiple dogs from the same household, I do not mix dogs from different families. This allows me to provide more individualized attention, maintain a calm environment, and ensure your dog feels safe and comfortable during their stay. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, personalities, and needs, including senior dogs and dogs requiring oral or injectable medications. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply a calm place to relax, I tailor their stay to what makes them most comfortable. While we live in an apartment, your dog will receive multiple daily walks, exercise, potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I enjoy staying active and make sure dogs in my care get the physical activity and enrichment they need. My son and I love spending time with dogs, and Rover has become a wonderful way for us to share that love while helping pet parents feel confident their pets are being cared for. Since we do not currently have pets of our own, visiting dogs receive lots of individualized attention during their stay. I know being away from your dog can be stressful, so I provide regular photo updates and communication throughout their visit. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for. Before booking, I always encourage a meet-and-greet so we can make sure we're a great fit for each other. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Pets in my care receive plenty of attention and are not left alone for extended periods. Dogs receive multiple daily walks and exercise tailored to their age, energy level, and needs. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel connected to your pet while you're away. Because I only accept one family's pets at a time, I am able to focus on providing individualized care and maintaining a calm, comfortable environment for each guest. I only accept one family’s pets at a time, creating a calm, safe environment where each pet receives personalized attention, comfort, and loving care.

“Sara was so sweet and calm personality, my dog looked so happy when I pick him up. She was very responsive and sent pictures of Byron and a video, I recommend Sara for any future services. We definitely will.”
“Tasha was very caring and conscientious - she took excellent care of Lucy, provided us with regular updates, and was very pleasant and reliable to communicate with. We especially appreciated how calm she and her household is, and that she got to know our dog as an individual special being, not just ‘a dog’. I would highly recommend Tasha to anyone looking for a safe, loving caretaker for their furry family member.”
“Very great experience! Renata is very communicative friendly, and professional. I appreciated the consistent communication throughout the day. My dog had a great experience. I highly recommend Renata.”

About: I've always had a love for animals and have spent years caring for pets of all kinds. I have experience with dogs, cats, hamsters, and even tortoises, which have helped me become comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and care routines. Growing up, before I had pets of my own, I loved helping friends and family care for their pets whenever I had the chance, and spending time with animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy! I also have experience with younger pets. My first dog and cats were all under a year old when I got them, so I am familiar with the extra attention, patience, and care that puppies and kittens need while they're still growing and learning. As a student at ASU, I'm not able to have a pet of my own right now, which is one of the reasons I joined Rover! I really miss being around animals and would love the opportunity to care for your pets while giving them lots of attention, companionship, and affection. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I will always treat them like family, while making sure you feel comfortable and updated while they're in my care! 🐾 I am currently on summer break from ASU and not working another job, so I have very open availability throughout the week. I am flexible with scheduling and available most days, which allows me to give pets consistent attention and care. I am happy to work around what best fits your pet's routine and needs! I do not currently have pets of my own, but I have previous experience caring for both dogs and cats. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet I care for. With dogs, I enjoy taking them of walks and making sure they get proper exercise and stimulation. With all animals, I focus on reading their energy and making sure they feel comfortable and happy no matter what mood they're in. I always aim to treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure they feel safe and cared for in any setting.
“I got a very quick reply to my request, than a meet and greet that went very well (my kind of shy little dog took right to him), friendly service, and great communication! He let me know when he was arriving and departing for the dog walk visit, and sent me a photo. I will happily request Kaiser again if needed, and I would recommend him to others.”

About: I can not think of a single moment in my life where an animal was not present. I have been caring for pets my whole life and that love brought me to my career as a vet tech. I am not only comfortable checking in on pets & walking them but I am extremely proficient in all things animal care when it comes to medical care.

About: I LOVE animals, I have a dog and birds who I have been taking care of since I was a kid. I have experience pet sitting for family and friends, so I am very comfortable taking care of animals. I have always been the type of person who hangs out with the dog instead of people at parties, so spending time with animals makes me genuinely happy! I am looking for a way to make some extra money during the summer while I’m in nursing school, so I am available pretty much every day/ all day the next couple months :) When caring for pets in someone else’s home, I like to make sure they are comfortable, and that they are kept on a similar routine as they normally are. I’ll give them fresh food and water, let them outside, give them attention, and clean up as needed. I also pay attention to any extra instructions given by the owner.
About: I’ve been rescuing animals all of my life and I love doing so . There’s nothing better than being able to nurture such beautiful creatures .

About: Hi! I’m an experienced pet sitter with over 7 years of experience caring for dogs through in-home sitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight care. I previously worked for a dog training business, where I learned proper leash handling, dog behavior, and positive training techniques that I continue to use while caring for every dog. I’m also certified by the Arizona Humane Society in dog care, giving me additional knowledge in safe handling and animal welfare. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, including senior dogs who require daily oral medications, and I always strive to make each pet feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their family is away. As a graduate student and educator, I’m dependable, organized, and great at communicating. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their usual routine, I’ll tailor my care to their individual needs. As a graduate student, I have a consistent schedule that allows me to provide reliable morning and evening visits throughout the week. My visits include feeding, walks or playtime, potty breaks, medication if needed, and plenty of love and attention. I may also be available for overnight stays on select weekends. I always prioritize keeping pets on their normal routine and providing dependable care you can count on. Due to my years of experience, I am able to provide your dog(s) with the attention and care that they require. Whether it be crate training, water & shade on walks, or play!
About: My experience caring for family pets began at 16 years old. A noteworthy pet sitting involved caring for a household with one female dog, her six newly born puppies, two adolescent dogs, and a senior dog for a week and a half. I believe this highs shows my ability to handle diverse pet household needs. Also, I have gained some experience in pet care for cats since October 2023. I work 12-hour shifts from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays, and every other Wednesday. I am available every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, along with every other Wednesday. I can inform you if I have that week's Wednesday off or not when you send your request. As a pet owner of a dog and a cat, I understand that each pet requires a unique approach to their daily habits and needs. I will stand by your instructions for the care of your pet(s), with the consideration I expect when others care for my own pets when I'm away. I hold no judgment over their care needs.

I am able to (and love to!) play with dogs to make sure they have fun. I am no squeamish with cleaning up after animal mistakes, and I can care for multiple dogs as once including puppies and seniors! I’m soon to be enrolled in college full time. I can care for pets over weekends for the full day, and Friday’s after 10 am!! Until school starts though, (August 9th) I am free every day at every time!! If needed, I can watch animals at my mom’s house which has a nice, fenced backyard to play in along with 3 others dogs and 2 cats. (Will mention, one cat is more fiesty with other animals, but i will be putting her in a separate space, and the most she could do is claw) I don’t think I would recommend my mom’s home for seniors or puppies due to an overstimulating environment and a 5 year old.
“Kristen is wonderful! She went out of her way to come meet my dog before ever taking on/accepting being a dog walker. She is now my go-to dog walker and I can’t imagine leaving him in anyone else’s hands! She’s very communicative and professional.”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life. My family had a two high energy dogs growing up and even from a young age I would enjoy caring for the two of them. After they passed, I volunteered at my local humane society, working mainly with dogs. When I was about 17, I convinced my family to adopt a puppy. I taught him basic commands, potty training, and basic leash skills. I currently own a cat who is equal parts sweetheart and menace. Being tasked with raising a kitten turned out to have a massive learning curve, but he is absolutely spoiled with playtime, toys, and treats. He is currently being leash trained and we’re working on anxiety associated with his crate. I have a PRN position at a children’s hospital, so I have plenty of time to check in on your baby/babies. I work a short Monday shift from 12-4PM. I have a hybrid pharmacy schedule, so I am able to attend classes from wherever I am. I care for all pets with love and respect. The main goal is to establish trust with new pets by allowing them to approach me with interest on their own terms, even if it takes a while. Providing pets with playtime and attention is a priority after their daily basic needs are met. I believe in gentle correction or making an activity more interesting with treats or a favorite toy when a pet is acting up or disinterested.
About: There has never been a time in my life where I haven’t been around animals. I’ve had dogs, cats, fish, and even mice! I’ve been pet sitting for about 10 years now for friends, family, and now clients. I’ve worked in a pet daycare/boarding facility and as a bather in grooming for about 2 years now, so you can be rest assured I have the training and compassion to take care of your furry (even feathered or scaly) friends! I am currently a part-time student, so I am available Mondays/Wednesdays after 4, Tuesdays/Thursdays after 2, and I have full availability (with some exceptions) on weekends! While I would love to care for your pets, I have my own at home and may need to break away shortly for short times during overnight sittings to take care of them. I am very adaptable to each owners needs. I am willing to play, walk, feed, or anything in between for your pets! I have no problem doing anything your dog or cat may require, even if that means taking care of the not-so-fun parts of owning pets.
“Yanssel goes above and beyond to ae sure my big dig is safe, loved and well taken care of. She always sends plenty if pictures and communicates very thoroughly if something seems off. Yanssel is very trustworthy around my pets and in my home alone. Would recommend 100%.”
“The best dog sitter ever!!! Honestly Trinity goes the extra mile to make your dog happy. My lab is a big boy and she can get him to play and be totally exhausted when he gets home. He has gotten used to their daily walks and waits for her everyday. When we go back to Seattle we will truly miss her! This experience has been beyond my expectations! Thanks!”
About: There is something sooo special about cats and dogs. I try and read their minds and it’s fun. I’m super affectionate but also understand that each one of them are different and deserve the connection they require to be happy and to feel supported -and entertained. I can manage a flexible schedule. I’m flexible in general. I can take care of other duties needed while I’m caring for your home and pets. Weekends I’d be primarily be stationed at the client’s home and during the week, it depends on the day/s. I am a quiet person who likes to read, write and create. Being around animals does something for my soul and is why I am looking for pets to care for. I will accommodate what is needed for you to be able to continue the love and support your pets get from you while you are away.
About: I have owned pets my whole life and have a passion for taking care of furry friends! I began sitting for friends and neighbors when I was really young and grew up helping my grandmother and aunt who both ran their own doggy daycare and sitting businesses. I am well versed in dog walking, stopping in to check on pups, and overnight stays. While I am most experienced in smaller to medium sized dogs I have watched over all types of breeds and I am confident in taking care of any dog! I currently have a part time job that only takes up about 6-7 hours a week. I am extremely flexible and available early mornings and late nights. Pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! I make sure to create a clean, safe, and comfortable environment to make sure your dog feels at home. I am extremely attentive and take care instructions very seriously. I will always ensure that your dog receives the right amount of supervision, exercise, and affection!

“Really sweet family and just overall perfect experience for both me and my pup. Before boarding: Alani and her families invited us to do meet-and-greet, asked questions about my dog’s usual routines, sent information about other two dogs mine will be staying with ahead of time. During the stay: Alani sent photos and updates daily. Informed me if anything was unusual. They took her to a dog park when the weather got cooler. Pick-up: They were very accommodating while my flight schedules changed. Alani gave me an update on how my dog stay went, anything she noticed, etc. My dog seemed well-played and happy. I felt like they understood how stressful and nervous it can be to part with a pup for extended period, and did everything to help. Alani and her family will always be my first choice to sit my pup going forward. Thank you.”
“Our dogs always love staying at Brooke’s home. Very thankful to have a place we can trust they will be well taken care of when we travel out of country.”
“We couldn’t be happier with Eric‘s dog sitting service! He cared for our puppy, Izzy for 16 days and truly went above and beyond. From daily walks to giving her medicine and making sure she felt safe and comfortable at home, he treated her as if she were his own. Eric‘s home is spotless, welcoming, and perfectly suited for dogs. Izzy was pampered the whole time, and we loved receiving the constant stream of photos and videos that kept us connected while we were away. This with a surprise was the custom-made poop bag pouch with a cutout of Izzy - such a thoughtful gift! We felt completely at ease knowing Izzy was in his care and will absolutely turn to Eric again whenever we need help. Highly recommended!”
“Our first time using a pet sitter for our 18 month old female GSD and the experience could not have been better, for us or our pup! Right from the meet and greet, Christian and Hana calmed any worries we had and left us with great confidence that our pup would be taken care of. Hana provided updates with photos throughout her stay, and we were able to enjoy ourselves knowing she was in great hands. We will definitely be using Christian and Hana again and are very grateful to have found them!”
“Susan and Peter were amazing! Coco was so comfortable and well taken care of at their house. They provided frequent updates and photos, which we really appreciated. We are planning to have Coco visit Susan and Peter again in a few weeks. I would highly recommend them to any pet owner looking for a trusted sitter.”
“Darbi and Nathanael took excellent care of our three pups. They offered a meet and greet ahead of our first booking, which was wonderful. We felt reassured and worry free leaving our pups in their care traveling. They paid careful attention to each pup’s needs and shared updates of how it was going. When we picked up our pups, they seemed to have had a wonderful time and were very content. Thank you for your care! We appreciate it and will rebook.”
“Marina did such an amazing job watching our dear doggos! She made sure they didn't have anytime to miss us by keeping them so active and busy! We appreciate the love and care she showed them. The smiles and exhaustion were evidence of the care she took! Thanks again 🤠”
“Christi was amazing to work with. It’s clear she loves dogs and wants to make sure your pup has a good experience. She took wonderful care of my dog and went above and beyond when we thought Willow might have a UTI. My dog came home happy and tired. :) I will absolutely use her again!”
“Highly recommended!! She took care of starla like her own dog she give updates all day long i went for a vacation and it was so peaceful knowing she is well taken care of!!

When we got there to get her she was not even ready to come back she was missing her!I Thats shows she was treated very well! highly recommend!!”
“Rachael and her husband treated Zumi as their own! She had such a great time and was tuckered out when she got home. Their yard was a great hit with my pup. The communication was top notch. She will be back”
“Our pups had a blast staying with Ezra & Reina! I could tell they were very much loved on and cared for. We got a video update every day, which is always appreciated when traveling away from your pets. We will absolutely have our dogs stay with them again! Thank you, Ezra & Reina!”
“Huaqing was so caring and attentive to our chihuahua, Bunny. We got multiple pictures every day and daily check-ins. She also took Bunny on lots of walks. Would highly recommend Huaqing to anyone!”
“Veronica was amazing. She took great care of our dog Birdie while we were out of town. She made us feel super comfortable and provided excellent care of our pup. She kept us updated everyday we were gone and even monitored our dogs eating habits as she gets a little anxious when we are away. She went above and beyond to make sure us and our dog were comfortable and we really appreciate her. We will definitely be using her again next time we go out of town.”
“We got so many updates & pictures while away & our dog was so happy staying with Madison. We felt way more comfortable leaving him with her than boarding at a kennel. We would definitely use Madison in the future :)”
“My pup has a great time with Erica and he is very well taken care of there! Erica provides regular updates and photos and videos and I feel very comfortable with her watching my pup!”
“Maritza was wonderful and gave me daily updates and photos of Otis. Her two young daughters were also pictured with Otis and they were loving towards him. Otis appeared content and happy. I would definitely recommend Maritza as a loving and caring pet sitter. I will consider her as my first choice in the future.”
“David was so great to Rudy & Leahy. He communicated well, took phenomenal care of them (multiple walks daily) and gave them all the puppy love! I will request David to watch them every time moving forward. He is a great guy who cares about your animals like they are his own.”
“Very caring and attentive family with kids that were kind to our dog. House is safe for any dog. Sergio and Bethany were also very accommodating to the specific feeding instructions we provided.”
“Zach and Maddie were the absolute best! From the moment I met them I knew my dog was in great hands. They are genuine dog lovers. I got lots of updates while I was away. It was such a relief being gone for a week and not having to worry about my dog. They even took him on a picnic! 10/10. Highly recommend.”
“Roxanne is so easy to work with. She asked many questions and clarified to make sure that Beans and I were both comfortable. She cared for Beans like her own. Greatly appreciate the excellent service and care. Her townhome is spacious and there is loads of green grass surrounding the complex. Highly recommend.”
