“Robert was wonderful with my pups! They can be a handful, but he was so patient with them. I was only out of town for a couple of days but Robert checked in every chance he got. I'm so grateful for his services. Thank you so much Robert!”
“John and Alice are a lovely couple that provided amazing care for our dog! They provided numerous updates throughout the day, quick to respond, showered our dog with love and attention and he was calm and comfortable in their home. I highly recommend considering John and Alice for your care request😊”
“This was first time in 20 years of having dogs that we boarded and couldn’t have been happier and confident to have found Carole through Rover. We went on a 7 day road trip and never worried or had doubts about leaving our German Shepard, Luna, with Carole. We pre-visited her ranch a few weeks prior and had a feeling and no hesitation after the visit that we had made the right choice. Though this was our first time boarding, and with Carole, we now can plan other extended trips and know we have a great place to bring Luna without worry or feeling guilty for leaving her.”
“Emily and Brooks treated our dog like part of their family. They opened their home for a meet and greet prior to our trip. He loved playing with their dog. I also appreciated that they only take one dog at a time for extended care.”
“Coco was in excellent hands! We received constant updates, photos, and videos throughout our trip, which gave us total peace of mind. The communication was fantastic. I highly recommend them for anyone looking for attentive and reliable care for their pet. They definitely gained us as a customer. Until next time!”
“Adrienne and her husband are the best! I am extremely neurotic about who I leave my pup with and I am so happy to have found them. I have only left Emma with a few people in the 13 years we have had her because she is a very nervous dog. Emma was calm and happy when I picked her up from Adrienne's house, which speaks volumes. Adrienne updated me with photos and reassurance throughout her stay, and it was clear that Emma was comfortable in her care. Their pup Phoebe is the most chill, sweetest dog and I think that helped make my nervous pup feel more comfortable. I have already booked two more stays for Emma.”
“Stacey was great! I had my senior dog with her for two weeks while I was out of the country and it brought me great comfort to know she was in such good hands. I got daily updates telling me how well my dog was doing along with Photos. In spite of the rain, they made it out every day and my dog left very happy. Grateful to have found Stacey!”
“Candy took great care of my nervous pup Molly, very kindly accommodated my quirky schedule, and even provided some super helpful tips and gear for me as a new pet owner. Her gentle Viszla Cleo was a great influence and company for Molly too. The backyard and sunroom are a fantastic space. Highly, highly recommend her.”
“Thankfully, Miranda helped us out last minute with taking care of our pup. She responded quickly and gave us updates and pics while we were out of town. Sasha had a good time making new friends! 😍”
“Amazing sitter! Alyssa is very caring, keeps me updated with messages and pictures, and made me feel reassured. My puppy was happy and well taken care of and made a new friend!—we will definitely brining Matcha again. Highly recommend”
“My furry babies were well cared for. This was the first time I left my babies for more than a day and Chengcheng gave me peace of mind by sending periodic photos to let me know they were doing good and happy. Will definitely use her services again.”
“Luka thoroughly enjoyed his stay with Melissa and her well behaved puppies. She sent us photos and videos every day without asking and kept us updated on all the fun he had. We will definitely be using her services again in the future”
“Laura and Brian are amazing! My dog got hurt just before I had to go away and I felt so comfortable and confident in leaving my dog with them and that she would be taken care of, safe, and happy! My dog sees going to Laura’s house as a fun trip and is excited to go!”
“We had such a great experience with Liliana! She took wonderful care of Zoey and was very consistent with updates. I really appreciated the photos and messages. Zoey looked so happy and well cared for the entire time. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable sitter!”

“Sara Z is my favorite dog sitter ! I just met her a week ago but I know I will always call her to take care of my Mutzy and Kobe . She came twice a day on time ...to take care of my fur babies.

Andrew was very responsive and communicated great & was flexible on timings for drop ins. Andrew also handled the unexpected events great - my Savannah cat had a minor injury & the kitten destroyed some things. So all around Andrew was great & i definitely recommend him!”
“She was absolutely wonderful. Very sweet, and tentative to our animals. We feel that she went above and beyond. Would definitely recommend her services. And we will definitely use her in the future.”
“We absolutely loved Monica! She took care of our sweet kitties for 2 weeks, dropping into our apartment once a day. She was very descriptive in her check ins and took lots of photos, which was very comforting to us as it was the longest we had left them alone. She also took care of them and managed a crisis when our AC was out in the apartment on some very hot days. She connected with our timid kitty very well. She went above and beyond. We would definitely hire her again!”
“Trinity was thoughtful, considerate of our home and dogs, and did an absolutely wonderful job communicating and meeting our needs as dog owners while also nurturing our pups. She truly went above and beyond by leaving our home looking neat and giving our dogs excellent care. I especially appreciated all the photos and videos she shared. We have officially found our dog sitter!”
About: I love animals especially dogs. My friends trust me to watch their animals all the time I took in a cat for 3 months and a dog for 4 months until the owners were able to take them back. Providing great services at all means.Need a trustworthy sitter when your away I’m your gal. Need a weekend away I am available. I have two dogs of my own Otis and Jax. Providing all your needs. Willing to give pet baths and provide them with whatever is needed. If they need more than one walk a day or you just want me to check on them I’m more than willing to help in any way possible. Make your life easier and so you can be at ease when not home. Let’s face it our fur babies are more than pets they are our family and we want the best possible care like we do to our children. I’m available every weekend and during the week I am usually not busy after work I am able to care in the evening whenever may be needed. I love animals especially cats and dogs I have a fenced yard and 2 wonderful dogs to keep your fur baby company. Lots of space to run around and have fun. I will also crate if needed I am currently working per diem and have plenty of time on my hands to care for your fur baby. If by any chance I step away from home my son and husband are home all day. My husband works from home and is able to provide his full attention from home and my son is currently on independent study and dedicates his time to provide care for your fur baby. My home is fully gated front yard and back yard. Inside the home I have a pet gate so they are not able to get out of the front door. If your fur baby prefers to be inside that is completely ok and I do allow the fur babies to sleep on the furniture and on my bed.
“Michelle did a great job with my two energetic kitties. I always appreciate the peace of mind while traveling knowing my cats are in safe hands. Would definitely recommend her for drop in visits!”
“What can I say? Mya was great in every way. She sent us daily pics and updates, was very helpful when we came with the cats and again when we picked them up. She has a very pleasant personality and we won't hesitate to use her again and recommend her to our friends.”
“Kristine is very professional working with our dog. She was gentle and careing and our dog became very close to her. Kristine was always attentive and on time. She was a blessing when I had an extended business meeting she was able to return and cover for me. In the future I would recommend hiring her again.thank you.”
“I loved that Camille is super responsive, very prompt with schedules, responsible, and just over all seems to really enjoy caring for dogs! My puppy was very pleased to have Camille take care of him for the night, and I was pleased she was available on short notice. I appreciate her knowledge of dogs and care she takes in our requests (and just in general). I will definitely book services with her again, and recommend you give her a chance to care for your fur baby.”
“We could not be happier with the attention and care taken while we were away. This was our first time away from the cats, and their first time without us. When we returned they were happy, running around, tails in the air, and acting normal as if nothing different had happened. Maybe a little hurt they didn't seem to mind us being away, but that is all the better. We'll be back with Alyssa next years vacation, without any questions or hesitation.”
“Joanna was the best possible choice we could have made. When things fell through for a sitter right before our big family road trip she came to the rescue and helped us out so much. She loved our doggos just like they were her own and treated them just as good, if not a little better due to all the walks, then we would have! Definitely our go to for the next time we need a little help”

“Melissa P. helped me out in a pinch after moving to the area, and it was great. Lots of updates and photos plus one happy puppy who was ready for a nap when he was picked up. Will absolutely be using again.”
“Maria and Michael were fantastic with our Cho-Cho. They made sure she felt as welcomed and comfortable as she could be, and that we were constantly updated with pictures and videos of her activities throughout her stay. Even their two fur babies, Luna and Abby, were also welcoming of Cho. Thank you so much!”
“Bernadette took great care of Wensley. He seemed really content when I picked him up, and I appreciated her flexibility as far as drop off time. She's a great communicator and kept me posted with pictures. I will definitely be using Bernadette again for Wensley's future doggy daycare needs. Also, he loved the extra little doggy treats Bernadette had made. Such a great little surprise.”
“Tina is an absolute gem. I left my little Ruby in Tina's care for a few hours to ensure Millie and Ruby got along well enough for a much longer stay coming up soon. It could not have gone better! I am so glad I chose Tina, she met and exceeded all of my expectations.”
“Gina is amazing at what she does! My dog Patli truly blossomed and opened up with Gina and the rest of the pups in the best way! Great communicator and always making sure your pups are seen and taken care of in their needs!”
“Laura and Brian are amazing. LUNA’s first experience was great. She suffers from separation anxiety and it is the first time she is in daycare. They welcomed her with open arms. I am grateful for their updates and pictures. I will definitely return when needed.”
“Brian has been great. He makes it easy to drop off & pick up. He keeps us updated during each of Brinley’s stays, by sending pictures, videos, and texts on how our fur puppy dog is doing.”
“Melissa took good care of Pluto during his day care stay. He can be very anxious away from his family, but Melissa was calming and able to tend to what he needed. Thank you Melissa!”
About: I'm experienced with cats & dogs in all stages of life (newborn to senior), including special needs. I also have lots of experience administering medications. I am very flexible and can fit the needs of your pet's schedule. I can early mornings, afternoons, nights and weekends. I am also available for scheduled reoccurring pop in visits or dog walks to fit your busy schedule. In my home, my dogs and cats are part of my family. We all cuddle on the couch and spend lots of time outside in our yard while I garden. In your home, I would be consistent with your existing boundaries. If there are parts of your home or yard that you prefer your pets stay out of, I ensure that we continue to follow your desired house rules. I will always do my best to follow any directions provided by you to ensure your pets have the best care while you are away.
“Ilona was so kind, communicative and patient. I so appreciate her warmth and calm. My pup took to her quickly and easily. I was very happy with how my dog seemed content and at ease upon our being reunited. I highly recommend Ilona.”
“We had such a great experience with our dog sitter! They did an amazing job taking care of Archie and kept me updated throughout the entire day. They sent me lots of pictures, which really helped me feel comfortable and reassured while I was away. It was clear that Archie was well taken care of and in good hands. I truly appreciate how attentive and caring they were. I would definitely recommend them and would book with them again! 🐶❤️”
“My dog was so happy with Olga!! My dog is usually anxious in new environments but she settled in immediately upon arriving and was happier when we picked her up than I’ve ever seen her before at day care. Thank you, Olga!”
“I needed a dog sitter on very short notice, and I’m so glad I found Angelica! She was incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment we connected. Both of my dogs took to her right away, and when I picked them up, they kept going back to her to be pet and attention, that says it all! It's clear Angelica has a genuine love for animals and a special way with them. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Sojeong and her family provide great care for my dog. My dog is a little shy and afraid, but he got along well with the family and the other small dog they were dog sitting for at the time.”
About: I've shared my home with two to four dogs since coming to LA 15 years ago. Because I work from home, your pup gets a calm, dog-savvy human nearby all day — frequent yard breaks, play, and belly rubs instead of hours alone. I'm comfortable with puppies, seniors, medications, and high-energy dogs, and I keep my numbers small so every dog gets real one-on-one attention. I work from home on a flexible schedule, so your dog has company and supervision for most of the day — regular walks, play, and potty breaks, not long stretches alone. I offer boarding and daycare and take just one family's dog or two at a time, and I'm glad to keep your dog's normal routine for meals, naps, and bedtime. I always mark as unavailable any days I have travel or major time commitments that will keep me away from home for more than an hour or two, so they will have constant care while they're here. Your dog will have free range of my 3 bedroom home, detached studio, and very large, securely fenced backyard full of fruit trees. I don't have pets of my own right now, so your pup gets the whole space and my full attention. I'm happy to crate or set up a quiet separate area if that's what your dog is used to, and I keep things calm and low-stress. I have a doggy door for dogs who prefer to let themselves in/out at their leisure. I converted our detached 2 car garage into a recording studio, where I work, so we have the quietest place in town in the event we have to make it through fireworks or if your pet prefers quiet or isolation. Both the house and studio have their own separate HVAC systems, so they'll definitely stay comfortable. I have always slept with my own dogs, so happy to co-sleep with yours if that's what they're used to, but also glad to maintain whatever rules you generally set for them in regard to being on beds/furniture.
“Happy that we were accommodated even though it was last minute. I got pictures of Nala & Nova playing outside and resting. I can tell Susan and Seo Kyung loves doggies!”
“Areli is FAB! Wow. Lily was cozy and comfortable from the moment we arrived. Absolutely wonderful experience having Areli care for my sweet baby. Will def book again! ✨✨✨♥️”

“This was the first time with Trinity and she did a great job! Came when expected. Walked Bella, sent pictures and texted how it went afterwards. I feel very confident leaving my girls with her.”
“Great communication with lots of pictures of bacon on walks. She really took care of him like he was her own dog. I will definitely be requesting more walks from Alyssa.”
About: I have cared for animals on my ranch in Acton, CA for over 30 years. I get along well with them because of the mutual trust and respect developed between us. I am adept at maintaining safe, clean living environments and noticing any problems which may crop up. I have worked with a variety of dog breeds of different ages and also have a great method for obedience training. I can provide information on this as agreed to between the owner and myself. I have one dog of my own at the moment. She is a rescue, and I know her particular needs. The same would be true of your dog/s. Each enclosure on my ranch is basically a huge corral with shelter attached. Dogs can exercise themselves and seek shelter whenever they want. I am also able to keep them indoors provided they are housebroken and reasonably well behaved. I can give medications and provide personalized care as needed. Services provided include the following? -Lots of private space for each dog -Dedicated care plans for senior dogs or those needing medications -Large tree-abundant yards. No cages -Leash walk and play time -In-door stays available when dictated by the weather -Social activities with other dogs given they are compatible with each other -Regular photo updates and videos I'd love to meet you and your dog. Let's schedule a meet and greet to become acquainted. Carole I'm am available for boarding on both weekends and weekdays. Since I am retired, this means I can check in on your dogs boarded at my facility on a regular basis. My premises are double-fenced for the security of client dogs. Dogs have plenty of water, and I feed them according to owner specifications. Wading pools are provided in the summer, and there are adequate shelters for dogs to stay in out of the weather when they choose. Any extra exercise desired by the owner outside of the exercise dogs give themselves in the large enclosed areas are arranged for between the client and myself. I will be happy to give high energy dogs extra exercise by playing fetch with them a few times during the day. I will also spend time reassuring over-anxious dogs by just being with them.
“Another repeat! My work is about one hour from hotel and I stay about 12hrs away during the day. I go to work everyday with no worries as I know Annie will be there to check and walk my Caesar :) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: I care for every pet like they’re my own family member, not just a job on my calendar. When your pet is with me, they’re getting affection, and lots of attention to the little details that make them feel safe and at home, the same I give to my own pup (Q-pid). What sets me apart from other sitters is how intentional I am about routines and communication. I take the time to learn your pet’s normal behavior, quirks, and preferences so I can spot if something seems “off.” I follow your instructions closely (feeding schedule, walk times, meds, crate routines, training cues, etc.) so your pet’s day feels as familiar and stress-free as possible. You’ll also get regular photo updates and honest check-ins, so you never have to wonder how things are going. Whether your pet is a high-energy goofball, a shy introvert, or a wise old soul, my goal is always the same: to make them feel safe, loved, and understood while you’re away and to give you total peace of mind in the process. I'm currently a student with 1.5 - 3 hours of class per day. Taking care of my pet and your pet fits naturally into my daily routine. I ensure my daily routine allows me to actually be present with my pup and the animals I’m caring for, not just squeeze them in between other commitments. On weekends, my schedule is even more flexible, so I can accommodate longer walks, park trips (if you’re comfortable with that), and extended stays. Overall, I treat your pet’s care like a priority, not an afterthought. I plan my day around their needs so they get reliable, loving attention and you get peace of mind while you’re away. Safety and trust are my top priorities. And I treat your pet the same way I treat my own pup: with patience, respect, and a lot of care for the details that keep them happy and secure. I have a friendly resident pup, so I do slow, supervised introductions to make sure everyone feels safe. I watch body language closely and will always prioritize a calm, positive first meeting. If anyone seems overwhelmed, I separate, redirect, and give them space instead of forcing interaction. I keep a pet-safe environment: - Leashes are always used outside or in unsecured areas. - Doors and gates are checked and closed so no one can slip out. - Food, trash, and anything unsafe (chocolate, meds, etc.) stay well out of reach. - No access to toxic foods or plants - Trash secured and small objects kept out of reach - Doors and windows checked and locked before playtime Feeding is always supervised, and I never free-feed multiple dogs together. I separate pets during meals and high-value treats to avoid any resource guarding or tension. I follow your instructions on crate use, furniture rules, feeding routines, and treats. If your dog prefers their own crate or bed, I’ll make sure they have a quiet spot to relax and decompress away from extra stimulation. There’s always time built in for bathroom breaks, exercise, play, and just as importantly—rest. In your home: When I’m caring for your pet in your space, I follow your house rules and routines. I stick to the schedule you give me for walks, meals, meds, and playtime, so your pet’s day feels familiar and predictable. I double-check doors and gates, keep leashes and harnesses secured, and always monitor them closely on walks—no risky off-leash time unless you’ve specifically requested it and it’s in a safe area. Communication & peace of mind: You’ll get regular photo updates and honest notes about how your pet is doing—eating well, bathroom habits, energy level, anything I notice—so you can relax knowing they’re not just “okay,” they’re truly cared for. Whether in my home or yours, my goal is simple: a safe, calm, and loving environment where your pet can relax, have fun, and feel like they’re with family.
About: Years with my own dog taught me that dogs have a few universal talents: finding the muddiest puddle, convincing you they haven’t eaten in days five minutes after dinner, and making every walk an adventure. Volunteering at a shelter reminded me that behind all those funny moments is something even more important—every dog wants to feel safe, understood, and loved. I’ve become pretty fluent in “dog language.” 🐶 That’s why I take the time to get to know each dog’s personality and earn their trust. I think it’s the best part of spending time with them. My skills: * Understanding dog behavior and body language * Building trust with dogs of different personalities * Patient and gentle handling * Caring for dogs of different ages and temperaments * Following detailed care instructions * Providing companionship, play, and attention My schedule allows me to dedicate plenty of time to walks, playtime, and giving each dog the individual attention they need. I understand that dogs feel happiest and most comfortable when they can keep their familiar routine. I do my best to create a calm, safe, and consistent environment that feels as close to home as possible while their family is away. I work full-time, seven days a week, so I’m available to provide reliable and consistent care for your pets whenever you need it. Before caring for your pet, I like to learn the little details that make them unique — their favorite activities, walking habits, how they communicate, and what helps them feel comfortable. During each walk, visit, or house sitting stay, I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing how your furry friend is doing. My goal is simple: for your dog to feel like they’re spending time with someone they trust!
“Highly recommended! Lexy took great care of our loved pet. She’s not only patient, but also kind. Received detailed photos and notes for each walk, so as the parents, we know what happened and we feel safe in mind even we are far from our pet. Will definitely ask Lexy for another favor if we needed in the future!”
About: I give personalized care, puppy training support, and gentle senior care—all with lots of love, attention, and updates you can count on. I will love and spoil your dog like my own two. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine as a stay-at-home mom. I’m home most of the day, which means your dog will get plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship—not long hours alone. Walks, playtime, feeding, and potty breaks are easily built into our schedule, and I love including dogs in our home. I have a fenced yard and two Boston Terriers who love to play to keep your fur baby occupied. But they also love to sleep if your pup enjoys that. I have two girls who love animals and will love to help care for your babies. We are home most of the time we also provide care.
“Mi-Cha-El was amazing, came in and immediately did what was asked. His communication skills are marvelous and I truly felt as if my dog was well taken care of. He has a great energy and I’m sure if you use him you and your furbaby will love him.”
About: Hi I’m Brenda! I’m a twenty eight year old college graduate that has a special care for animals especially feline and dog friends. I am very caring and nurturing when it comes to pets as I am attentive towards what they need. If they need medication administered, food given at a certain schedule, daily walks in order to increase physical activity, or even detailed washing I am your helper! I do have prior personal experience coming from my dogs named Chestnut and Prince (both Chihuahua’s) I had helped raised mostly all their lives. They have both crossed the rainbow bridge unfortunately and I do miss them very much. We do have two dogs now Camilla and Luna whom I love very much. I had also babysat feline’s as well. I like to proper feed animals in a timely manner and being communicative towards the owners advising them of any updates from their fur babies. I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time for your fur babies! I board all weekend yes and also every weekday after noon. I have a fenced yard and one friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed and attend to their activities/diet needs.
About: Hi! I’ve had cats all my life and currently have my own cat, Lala, who means the world to me. I also raised my Frenchie, Bella, so I have experience caring for dogs as well. Bella and Lala got along great, which helped me become comfortable managing different pet personalities and routines. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to give pets plenty of attention, care, and company throughout the day. Whether your pet needs playtime, walks, feeding, cuddles, check-ins, or just someone patient and dependable around, I’m happy to help. Friends and family have trusted me to care for their pets because I’m attentive, responsible, and genuinely enjoy being around animals. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust, and I’ll always do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. 🐶🐱 I work remotely from 7:00 AM–3:30 PM, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend plenty of time with pets throughout the day. Since I work from home and have my own car, I’m flexible and mobile for check-ins, boarding, and pet care needs. I’m available for boarding on both weekdays and weekends. Dog walks are usually available after 3:30 PM, but I can sometimes be flexible earlier in the day with advance notice depending on my work schedule. split my time between two residences. My main residence is a pet-friendly apartment in Koreatown, Los Angeles, where I live with my cat, Lala. The building has a large outdoor dog park and safe shared pet areas, which are great for walks, playtime, and exercise. I also have a townhouse in Woodland Hills, super close to The Village shopping center and nearby parks, which is helpful for clients in that area or pets that may prefer a quieter environment. The townhouse has a private gated outdoor patio/front area for fresh air and added safety. I always make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and cared for based on their individual needs and routines. 🐾
About: My soul dog lived until he was 15. Recently passed but I loved and cared for him for all those years. I have fostered dogs over the years and worked on crate training, leash walking, manners, behaviors and boundaries. I am a teacher on summer vacation looking to make extra income while spending time with pet dogs. Available all day various times of the day No pets currently in my home as my 15 year old recently passed. My yard is fenced and safe. Large grassy area and have many local parks to go on walks or hikes
About: What sets me apart is real, hands-on experience with dogs that many sitters never encounter. I own Apollo, a pit-mix with high reactivity, and have worked through his training alongside a professional trainer as well as through my own dedicated research and practice. That process taught me how to read canine body language, manage triggers, and stay calm and consistent under pressure; skills that directly benefit any dog in my care. I also share my home with Thalia, a high-energy husky, so I know exactly what it takes to keep a high-drive dog mentally and physically stimulated. Beyond my own pets, I've built real experience pet sitting dogs and cats for family and friends, sometimes for days or weeks at a time, handling daily visits and routines solo. I'm comfortable with dogs, cats, and other pets, and I bring the same patience and attentiveness to every animal regardless of size, breed, or temperament. Pet care has always been a natural part of my life. I grew up with pets and currently have my own, so caring for animals isn't just a service I offer, it's something I genuinely love. As an online student working toward my Bachelor's degree, I have the flexibility to be present throughout the day, whether that's a midmorning walk, an afternoon drop-in, or a multi-day house sit. Because my coursework is self-paced, your pet always gets my full focus. I structure my day around the pets in my care, not the other way around. My priority is keeping your pet's world as normal as possible while you're away. I follow their established routine closely: feeding times, walk schedules, and any specific habits you share with me. Consistency is what keeps animals calm and comfortable. Every visit includes food, water, exercise, and real quality time, not just a quick check-in. You can expect photo updates after every visit so you always know how things are going. I'm comfortable with dogs, cats, and other pets, and I adapt to what each individual animal needs.
About: I have always had a love for animals since i was little ! that i recently became a vet assistant & i love it 🐶 i know what any animal needs. being around animals is something i love !

“This was first time in 20 years of having dogs that we boarded and couldn’t have been happier and confident to have found Carole through Rover. We went on a 7 day road trip and never worried or had doubts about leaving our German Shepard, Luna, with Carole. We pre-visited her ranch a few weeks prior and had a feeling and no hesitation after the visit that we had made the right choice. Though this was our first time boarding, and with Carole, we now can plan other extended trips and know we have a great place to bring Luna without worry or feeling guilty for leaving her.”
“Emily and Brooks treated our dog like part of their family. They opened their home for a meet and greet prior to our trip. He loved playing with their dog. I also appreciated that they only take one dog at a time for extended care.”
“Stacey was great! I had my senior dog with her for two weeks while I was out of the country and it brought me great comfort to know she was in such good hands. I got daily updates telling me how well my dog was doing along with Photos. In spite of the rain, they made it out every day and my dog left very happy. Grateful to have found Stacey!”
“Candy took great care of my nervous pup Molly, very kindly accommodated my quirky schedule, and even provided some super helpful tips and gear for me as a new pet owner. Her gentle Viszla Cleo was a great influence and company for Molly too. The backyard and sunroom are a fantastic space. Highly, highly recommend her.”
“Amazing sitter! Alyssa is very caring, keeps me updated with messages and pictures, and made me feel reassured. My puppy was happy and well taken care of and made a new friend!—we will definitely brining Matcha again. Highly recommend”
“Luka thoroughly enjoyed his stay with Melissa and her well behaved puppies. She sent us photos and videos every day without asking and kept us updated on all the fun he had. We will definitely be using her services again in the future”
“Laura and Brian are amazing! My dog got hurt just before I had to go away and I felt so comfortable and confident in leaving my dog with them and that she would be taken care of, safe, and happy! My dog sees going to Laura’s house as a fun trip and is excited to go!”
“We always feel at ease having Stacey taking care of our dog when we are away. She gives our dog 100% of her attention and my dog always come home happy and well cared for.”
“Rita is the best sitter ever! She’s incredibly informative and attentive. Anytime something seemed off or questionable with my dog, she was on it immediately. I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was in such caring and capable hands.”
“Scottie took amazing care of Kingsley. He was a great Commmunicator, was willing to pick him up and drop him off and sent pictures and videos! He was super gentle and my dog was very quick to love him. Fair price too. HIGHLY recommend his services. Already planning to use him again”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Tiffany & her husband. From the very beginning, they went above and beyond to make sure my fur baby felt safe, loved, and cared for while I was away. Not only did they follow every instruction perfectly, but they also took extra time to give my pup walks, pool-time , and plenty of affection. Thank you again! 🐶 🐾”
“Navi had an excellent stay with Brenda and Ron. They took such good care of her and she had a great time playing with a golden retriever they were also watching. We received daily pics and updates and Navi looked very happy. We felt very good about leaving her with Brenda and Ron, and we will definitely call them again!”
“Yuhong is the best. She really came to our rescue last minute while we dealt with logistics related to the local wildfire. She took great care of our dog, and he was clearly happy in the daily update pics. On top of being available and reliable, Yuhong was also incredibly sensitive and caring towards our family's situation. I highly recommend her as both an awesome Rover and awesome human.”
“Aimee, Earl and Toby are AWESOME!!!! My normal sitter had an emergency and I had to travel so I reached out. They were so kind and accommodating and we scheduled a quick meet and greet right away. Goldie had a blast and feel asleep as soon as she got in the car. Thank you for being amazing. I will definitely book with them again.”
