“We are incredibly grateful to Sujit for taking such wonderful care of our beloved Zooco while we were away on a longer vacation. As repeat clients, we already knew Zooco would be in good hands—but once again, Sujit exceeded our expectations. He gave Zooco not just the essentials, but the affection, attention, and routine that made him feel at home even in our absence. Sujit kept us updated throughout, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear from the photos and messages that Zooco was happy, well-exercised, and loved. We returned to a healthy, joyful dog who was clearly well taken care of. We highly recommend Sujit to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and attentive pet caregiver. Thank you again, Sujit, for loving Zooco like your own!”
“Cristal is absolutely amazing. I don’t think my baby even wanted to leave 😅 benji got to make some friends, taken on walks and lots of play time. Cristal sent me pictures and updates the entire time, and I can 100% say me and Benji both were very comfortable and will be back 😄”
“I highly recommend Anton as a sitter. We left our dog, Frankie with him for about 3 days and he was amazing. He provided regular updates. We have left our dogs with other sitters before but with Anton we never had to worry about how our dog was doing because he sent updates multiple times a day and this allowed us to enjoy our vacation without any stress. He was so easy to work with and flexible with the pick up and drop off times when we wanted to drop off or pick up early. We will definitely use him again as long as he will have us!”
“Bonnie did a great job watching our Bailey for us while we were out of town. She has a nice home and great yard for small dogs. She was very responsible and prompt about communication. We look forward to baording with Bonnie in the future!”
“We felt very reassured that Osler was in capable hands during his stay. Kent is very knowledgeable about pet care and cares a great deal about them. Our dog is older and is timid, but acclimated to Kent’s pack very well. We would not hesitate to have Kent care for Osler for longer periods of time in the future.”
“Our dogs had a great time with Cindy!! We received pictures and/or videos daily. We were so pleased with how well she took care of them. They enjoyed time at the dog park and snuggles with her. The dogs told us they want to go back to her next time we go on vacation ?”
“Dipankar and Nagma were wonderful with our 2-year-old GSD. They kept us updated with photos all day and gave us a full report at pickup. Our dog clearly loved them—he even tried to follow Nagma back inside when we were leaving! An amazing experience. Thank you both!"”
“We found Anu after finding out our current dog sitter moved away. She took our dog in last minute and we were able to go on our trip feeling confident our dog will be taken care of. She is flexible with drop off and pick up times and replied to our messages quickly. She updated us daily on how our dog is doing by sending us pictures and videos. She was gentle and patient with our dog, even when he was a little anxious. He was happy and healthy when we picked him up. I would highly recommend contacting Anu for your dog sitting needs.”
“Cooper was genuinely cared for and very well taken care of by Rachana and her family! We were at peace due to regular and detailed updates about his settling in phase. Being an anxious pup, Cooper needs a considerable amount of patience and love to feel at home and he seemed to feel at ease very soon at Rachana’s place. Their pup is super friendly too and was great company for Cooper during his stay! Thank you for your care and affection towards Cooper!”
“Excellent experience! Buffy loved Deana and came home happy and relaxed. I really appreciated the updates and the photos throughout the boarding and it's clear that Deana genuinely loved and cares for the dogs. High recommend and will definitely book again!”
“Punam and family have boarded Nico a few times and each time I’m able to relax knowing he’s in good hands. They provide regular updates, including pictures and videos, throughout the stay and treat Nico like he’s one of the family. I will continue to board with Punam for as long as they’ll have Nico. 😊”
“We’re so thankful to Tracey for taking care of Ginger while we were away. It honestly made our trip so much more relaxing knowing Ginger was with someone so kind and caring. When we got back, Ginger was happy, comfortable, and clearly well loved. You can really tell Tracey treated her like her own. We appreciate her so much and would absolutely book with her again anytime 🐾💛”
“Outstanding!!! Could not ask for a better person to take care of our dog. My dog is getting older in kennels she never eats and very unhappy. With Angelina our dog was very happy, ate, safe and had a good time. Could not ask for a better service. Thank you again”
“Natalie was awesome!!! She took my dog last minute and there were no problems at all! Rambo seemed so happy and energetic when I picked him up! Defiantly recommend her to watch your fur baby:)”
“We had to board our beloved Coco for the very first time, and naturally we were very nervous about leaving her with anyone. From the moment we met Merilu, she made us feel comfortable and reassured that Coco would be in good hands. Merilu and her family took exceptional care of Coco and truly treated her like one of their own. They happily accommodated all of our requests, including not using a cage and allowing Coco to sleep on the bed, which meant a lot to us since Coco has never been crated. Throughout Coco’s stay, we received regular updates with photos and videos every day, along with quick responses whenever we had questions. Seeing Coco happy, playful, and comfortable gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. When we picked Coco up, she looked healthy, relaxed, and genuinely happy, which says everything about the love and care she received. It’s clear that Merilu has a true passion for animals and provides a safe, loving home rather than just a boarding service. We are incredibly grateful for the wonderful care Coco received and wouldn’t hesitate to trust Merilu again. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pet with love, patience, and genuine affection, I highly recommend Merilu. Thank you for making Coco’s first boarding experience such a positive and stress-free one for both Coco and our family!”
“This is the 3rd time we have used Lauren & Mike to watch our 2 dogs and again it was great. We had a last minute trip come up and luckily they were able to watch the dogs for us. Our youngest, Kylo is more shy but this time he warmed up to the family right away and Talula had a happy whine as we drove up to the house so I know they are well taken care of and love spending time with the family. We are so happy we found Lauren & Mike and will continue using them in the future.”
“Cheridyn and Gil were phenomenal. Great communication and they looked after our little puppy like she was one of her own. I can’t recommend them enough. Thank you for taking care of our little Millie.”
“Shirley and her family were so kind and took very good care of our senior girl. I appreciated the photos and videos of Fox getting attention and cuddles. It was as if Fox went on her own vacation while we went away. Thank you!!”

“We were nervous hiring someone for the first time and Tina’s profile stood out. We met her in person before the services and she seemed like a wonderful person. She watched our cat for 2 days and we got so many pictures and videos. Our boy liked her from the moment he met her during meet and greet and I think she liked him too. Wonderful service and we highly recommend her. We are happy to have found someone that we can use again to watch our pets. Thank you Tina”
About: After my wife and I bought our first home together, we adopted our first shelter dog, a shepherd husky mix named Roxy. Later we became a doodle household. We've laughed during puppy play and shed tears at the rainbow bridge. We've enjoyed how dogs mellow with age and medicated fur babies dealing with lymphoma and lung cancer. If you choose to book with us, your best friend will be our only guest while you're away. Our three friendly doodles will offer congenial pack hospitality. We'll welcome your dog with care and attention for a temporary family member. You get a substitute Pet Papa, and I get to spend time with your buddy, while earning a little extra income for gardening supplies and painting classes. It’s a Win-Win. Only one dog at a time for boarding and day care. We have a large, dog safe yard in a quiet gated community. We border open space. Since rabbits and squirrels sometimes visit, I suggest you include Leptospirosis in your updated vaccination portfolio.
About: Lifelong cat owner with boarding facility experience, providing calm, attentive, stress-free care. Skilled in reading feline behavior and keeping cats comfortable, safe, and content
“Natasha made daily drop in visits for our 2 cats while we were gone on vacation for a week. She provided pictures and some updates as well as checking our mail and giving one of our cats medicine. We are very happy with her services and her responsible and caring personality. We wouldn't hesitate to use her again!”
About: I love love love all animals and have always lived with animals and feel very comfortable taking care of them. I have experience giving medications (if needed) I have a very open and flexible schedule so I am able to work around your schedule. I also accept same day appointments and cancellations I do not provide services at my home but I am happy to come to yours for pet care. I am also available to take your dog to the dog park or anywhere else you might need.
“Cindia is amazing! She was so patient with my scardy cat and gave all the love to my social boy. She even asked to groom them for me. When I was struggling to get emails and rover updates abroad she texted me the updates. I felt so at ease with her taking care of my babies. Will always have her back when I need her. She also watered my plants for me.”
About: Your dog will stay on our private 5-acre ranch with plenty of room to play, explore, and relax in a safe, supervised environment. Whether your dog is high-energy or prefers a slower pace, I tailor their care to fit their individual needs. I treat every dog like one of my own and strive to provide a safe, enriching, and stress free stay so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I'm experienced with dogs of all ages, from young puppies to seniors. Having raised multiple litters, I'm comfortable with puppy routines, potty training, and socialization, while also understanding the patience and attention senior dogs need, including medication administration and mobility support. Full time dog boarder and trainer working from home. I provide 24/7 care as if your dog was one of my own. Pickup and drop off hours in morning or evening. Very limited afternoon pickup/drop off availability. 5 acres fully fenced in along with smaller fenced in play yards. Home is air conditioned. Dogs can either exercise on the full property if recall trained or in one of the smaller, 6ft tall play yard areas if they need a smaller enclosed area.
“We cannot recommend Angelina highly enough! From the moment we met her, it was clear she genuinely loves and understands cats. She took the time to get to know our cat’s quirks, routines, and favorite toys, which put us completely at ease. While we were away, Angelina kept us updated with detailed messages and adorable photos, so we always knew our fur babies were in excellent hands. Our cats are usually shy around new people, but Angelina’s calm and caring demeanor won them over in no time. If you’re looking for a compassionate, reliable, and professional cat sitter, Angelina is the one to call. She’s absolutely amazing!”
“Katie is absolutely wonderful with our cats! She always takes time to play with them, make sure their food and water is replenished, and gives them plenty of pets. Katie is so reliable and we can count on her! We highly recommend Katie for all of your pet needs!”
About: I provide caring, reliable drop-in visits focused on keeping cats comfortable in their own home and routine while you’re away. My visits include feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, companionship, and photo updates so you can feel connected and reassured. I’ve completed multiple successful cat drop-in visits with very positive experiences. I’m patient with shy or cautious cats and allow them to warm up at their own pace — several became playful and interactive by the second visit. I pay close attention to routines, cleanliness, behavior changes, and each cat’s comfort level. Every cat has a different personality, and I try to create a calm, low-stress experience rather than forcing interaction. I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust, and I treat every home and pet with care, respect, and responsibility. References available upon request.
“Leila was great taking care of my dog Sally. Leila followed my dog's daily care routine, keeping her comfortable and content. I would definitely choose Leila again to care for my dog.”
About: Hey there, I'm Katherine! I am a local photographer looking to make some extra income and meet some great furry friends. I am currently accepting bookings for all types of puppies and dogs. I have owned and cared for a variety of pups, such as Labradors, Chihuahuas, Great Danes, and more for the past fifteen years. I have self-trained all of my animals from potty training to new tricks.
About: I’ve taken care of cats since I adopted one. During the pandemic I decided to adopt a black cat (shadow boo) who I adore. Then, when I got married I adopted another cat (Petunia) who I adore too. I learned so much about cats and learn many things I did not know before having one. This is because I used to take care of only dogs before. Cats are very unique creatures that deserve all of our respect and we should definitely learn more from them. I will take care of your cat like if it is my own. We truly need more sassiness in this home.

About: Hi, I’m Cristal! Dogs have been a cherished part of my life for over 20 years and caring for them is truly one of my greatest joys. As a devoted dog mom myself, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your beloved family member in someone else’s care. My goal is to provide a safe and loving home where every dog feels happy and cared for like a vacation for them too. My husband and I treat each pup like my own with plenty of playtime and cuddles. When your dog stays with us, they’re not just a guest they’re family❤️ I’m currently a stay at home mom with a sweet toddler and two friendly Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, which means I’m home most days and able to provide lots of supervision, companionship, and care throughout the day. We have a large fenced yard where pups can safely run, play, and explore. They are welcome to come in and relax inside the house, stretch out on cozy beds, play with toys, and enjoy being part of our family’s daily routine. We also live next to a beautiful walking trail making it easy to give your pup plenty of exercise, fresh air and new smells to enjoy.

“Anu did a great job with our Athena girl. Our baby was fresh post op from a broken hind leg and needed a little extra TLC, which she provided. She did a great job keeping us updated with texts, pictures, and video. Would highly recommend Anu to anyone. She is great!”
“This was my first time using Rover. I had a positive experience and plan to request dogsitting services in the future with Anton. Anton provided updates, including pictures and videos, which made me feel all the more comfortable!”
“Natalie was AMAZING! She repeatedly exceeded expectations and went out of her way to help. She's flexible, understanding, and accomodating. Additionally, my dog can be fearful around strangers, but he ran right up to Natalie and had no problem at all going with her.”

“I’m so happy with the care Jagruti gave to my cutie, Pluto! From the start, they were super friendly and made sure Pluto felt comfortable right away. They sent me regular updates with cute photos and kept me in the loop the whole time. They took care of Pluto as their own dogs. Pluto looked so happy and well taken care of when I got back. I could tell he had a great time! I definitely recommend Jagruti if you’re looking for someone reliable and caring. Pluto will definitely be staying with them again!”

“We had a great experience with Tracey as our sitter! She was very communicative as we had to coordinate two drop off and pickups over two days. Ahead of time, whe welcomed us into her home for a meet and greet with her pup, which was well set up for dog sitting. Our jindos are naturally suspicious of new people but she was very patient and earned their trust.”
“Georgia was so great with Agi. Sent photos with updates. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter. Agi got along great with the other dogs and came home very tired. Which is a good thing.”

We loved getting regular updates and adorable pictures throughout the day, which really put us at ease. Junnu had a fantastic time, and we could tell she was happy and well cared for. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone and would love for Junnu to stay with them again in the future!”

“Tracey responded right away when I messaged her which was so great because I was leaving the next day and was desperate for someone to walk my little buddy. She was fantastic!! She came and met me and Troy first, which I felt was important for my dog as well as for me. She gave me updates and pictures of my dog on his walks. I was a little apprehensive using a service like this as I never have before, but I will definitely be seeking out Tracey again to take care of my buddy, Troy. She was the best!”

About: Hi! We’re a family of 6 who all enjoy furry friends. My kids range from 16 down to 9. They love to help me keep the animals happy. Our little 20 pound dog is super friendly and enjoys meeting new dogs and seeing the friends she has made. I haven’t watched a dog she hasn’t warmed up to within a few minutes. We prefer smaller dogs, but if you have a gentle, nice, large dog we’d be happy to watch him/her. We’ve had a lot of fun with some of the friendly big dogs we’ve watched. We live in a safe neighborhood with a beautiful walking trail for the dogs who enjoy getting out. We promise to treat your dog like they’re part of our family. Thanks for considering us. We’d be happy to set up a meet and greet for those wanting to leave their dog for more than a day. Thank you! I am currently homeschooling 3 of my kids so we're home most of the day. A couple of days a week I run my kids to their activities, but we're usually not gone for more than 2 hours. I have a fenced yard and a very friendly dog to keep your dog company. My 4 kids also love dogs so we'll give your dog lots of love and attention.
About: Gentle and mindful of your pet’s needs and space. It’s important to build trust first, I will ensure absolute comfort is achieved. Then endless playtime after. I’ve opened my schedule to care for adorable fur babies as I’ve missed having my fur baby. The love and endorphins received when cuddling is much needed. When at a client’s home, I need to learn all house rules and will always leave the home clean and orderly. Pets will have food/ water filled at all times and all foreseeable dangers removed. At my home, safety and comfort are carefully curated.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I fill in for my daughter when she is on vacation. We also have 3 dogs, 4 birds and a cat in home now. Can’t ask for a more rewarding job. Animals just fill our lives with joy and love. I help my daughter with pet care in home and feel this would be a good fit for me. We have a well fenced and secure home for pets. Double gated entrance so dogs cannot get to the front door. Our animals get along well with others.
“Our family was going out of town and arranged to have Katie walk our Boston Terrier Missy. We struck gold! Katie was amazing…responsive, friendly and sent lots of pictures. Missy can’t wait to see her again!”

“Christina was just the best! She is super communicative and gave us great updates on Odessa along with pictures from the walks they took together. Odessa really bonded with Christina and was always thrilled to see her for each walk. We would certainly reach out to Christina first if we ever need dog walking again.”
About: Hi! My name is Kaya, and I’m a student at the University of Arizona studying Elementary Education. I’m currently spending my summer in Brentwood and am available for pet sitting, drop-in visits, and walks. My education has strengthened my patience, responsibility, communication skills, and ability to provide attentive care. I’ve been a lifelong animal lover and caregiver. I have owned 3 family cats and fostered 2, along with volunteer work helping find kittens forever homes and currently care for my own three-legged cat. Through these experiences, I’ve learned how to provide patient, attentive, and loving care to pets with a variety of personalities and needs. While babysitting for families, I’ve also helped care for their dogs by feeding them, taking them outside for bathroom breaks, supervising them around the house, keeping them off furniture when requested, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I enjoy building trust with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while their families are away. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Whether your pet loves attention and playtime or prefers a calm and quiet environment, I’m happy to adapt to their individual needs. As a pet owner myself, I know how reassuring updates can be while you’re away. I’m happy to send photos and messages so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I’m currently working in a restaurant about three nights a week, but I have a very flexible schedule outside of that and can attend before and/or after work. I have a lot of experience with cuddles, cleaning cat box’s, dry /wet food, keeping the doors closed, toys, treat's, brushing hair, attending to pet waste removal, and cleaning any additional mess.
“I seriously want to give her more than 5 stars!!! She took such excellent care of my sweet puppy and the pictures proved just how much love and fun they had! I HIGHLY recommend Angie!”
About: I have 2 dogs and 2 cats of my own that are my fur babies! I’ve always had pets my entire life and love animals. Snuggles, playing, and belly rubs are a must! Your fur baby will be well taken care of while you are away! I currently work full time and have a special needs son that requires a lot of medical expenses so the extra income is needed. Evenings while the weather is cooler is ideal for walks and outside time. I can be available weekends as well! I will take great care of your pet while you’re away! Walks and playtime and snuggles are a must! I’ll make sure their food and water are filled and they’re happy!
About: 🤍🐾 Trusted, Professional Care in a Loving Home Environment 🤍🐾 Animals have always been my greatest passion and purpose. I’ve dedicated my life to improving the welfare of our animal community. I have worked alongside many rescues, assisting with T&R programs, Foster Care, Rehoming & Placement Assistance, Behavioral & Physical Rehabilitation, Feral Rehabilitation and more!. I’ve spent many years loving animals of all kinds — from bottle fed babies to seniors and special-needs rescues who require patience, understanding, and expert care. I have extensive experience in animal rehabilitation, including administering medication, performing life-saving procedures, supporting post-surgery recovery, and managing both physical and behavioral issues. Over the years, I’ve cared for countless animals with conditions such as arthritis, allergies, anxiety, collapsing tracheas, and other age-related or chronic illnesses. My background has equipped me with strong knowledge in pet illness prevention, senior care, physical therapy, and behavioral management. My home is very quiet and stress free. There are no children present or any people traffic. I take requests and make accommodations for pet owners, if a dog or cat is better suited as the only animal present during their stay, just let me know! I spend the duration of a booking and focus 100% of my effort entertaining and attending to pets. Your pet will never be unattended for the duration of a booking. We are kennel free, unless it’s part of your pets regular routine. I currently care for multiple rotating rescue animals and understand that every pet has their own story, needs, and comfort level. I approach each one with compassion, respect, and a calm, confident energy that helps them feel secure and loved. I’m also experienced with administering oral and topical medications, wound care, specialized diets, and gentle rehabilitation exercises to help pets heal and thrive.
“We feel very lucky to have met Chelsea. She did an excellent job caring for our Bernard. He has been very sick and we appreciate the love and care she showed him as he recovers. She is very sweet and made an extra effort to make it fun for Bernard.”
“Lauren did a wonderful job of taking care of my border collie mix, Bindi. Normally shy, Bindi warmed up to Lauren immediately and they had a great time together while I was away for a few days. Communication was great and I highly recommend Lauren and Mike.”
About: Animals are my pride and joy! I've cared for many different pets for about 15 years now. I grew up with cats, dogs, and many other species. Previously I've had a pitbull, and currently I have four cats! I also have fostered 12 kittens up to this point. I have already sat for dogs, cats, and bunnies. You can be confident that your pet is in the best hands and will receive top care, as caring for animals is my passion and pleasure:) Pet sitting and taking care of animals is my priority! Right now I only work part time but if anyone needs me to help out I’ll be there! I have four cats currently and I’ve had dogs.I’ve taken care of many other species and breeds for others as well so I am well versed in animal care. Whatever you need me to do as far as routine care I will do as well as give them all my love and attention. I can stay as many nights and days as you need!

“We are incredibly grateful to Sujit for taking such wonderful care of our beloved Zooco while we were away on a longer vacation. As repeat clients, we already knew Zooco would be in good hands—but once again, Sujit exceeded our expectations. He gave Zooco not just the essentials, but the affection, attention, and routine that made him feel at home even in our absence. Sujit kept us updated throughout, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear from the photos and messages that Zooco was happy, well-exercised, and loved. We returned to a healthy, joyful dog who was clearly well taken care of. We highly recommend Sujit to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and attentive pet caregiver. Thank you again, Sujit, for loving Zooco like your own!”
“I highly recommend Anton as a sitter. We left our dog, Frankie with him for about 3 days and he was amazing. He provided regular updates. We have left our dogs with other sitters before but with Anton we never had to worry about how our dog was doing because he sent updates multiple times a day and this allowed us to enjoy our vacation without any stress. He was so easy to work with and flexible with the pick up and drop off times when we wanted to drop off or pick up early. We will definitely use him again as long as he will have us!”
“Bonnie did a great job watching our Bailey for us while we were out of town. She has a nice home and great yard for small dogs. She was very responsible and prompt about communication. We look forward to baording with Bonnie in the future!”
“We felt very reassured that Osler was in capable hands during his stay. Kent is very knowledgeable about pet care and cares a great deal about them. Our dog is older and is timid, but acclimated to Kent’s pack very well. We would not hesitate to have Kent care for Osler for longer periods of time in the future.”
“Our dogs had a great time with Cindy!! We received pictures and/or videos daily. We were so pleased with how well she took care of them. They enjoyed time at the dog park and snuggles with her. The dogs told us they want to go back to her next time we go on vacation ?”
“Dipankar and Nagma were wonderful with our 2-year-old GSD. They kept us updated with photos all day and gave us a full report at pickup. Our dog clearly loved them—he even tried to follow Nagma back inside when we were leaving! An amazing experience. Thank you both!"”
“Excellent experience! Buffy loved Deana and came home happy and relaxed. I really appreciated the updates and the photos throughout the boarding and it's clear that Deana genuinely loved and cares for the dogs. High recommend and will definitely book again!”
“We’re so thankful to Tracey for taking care of Ginger while we were away. It honestly made our trip so much more relaxing knowing Ginger was with someone so kind and caring. When we got back, Ginger was happy, comfortable, and clearly well loved. You can really tell Tracey treated her like her own. We appreciate her so much and would absolutely book with her again anytime 🐾💛”
“Natalie was awesome!!! She took my dog last minute and there were no problems at all! Rambo seemed so happy and energetic when I picked him up! Defiantly recommend her to watch your fur baby:)”
“This is the 3rd time we have used Lauren & Mike to watch our 2 dogs and again it was great. We had a last minute trip come up and luckily they were able to watch the dogs for us. Our youngest, Kylo is more shy but this time he warmed up to the family right away and Talula had a happy whine as we drove up to the house so I know they are well taken care of and love spending time with the family. We are so happy we found Lauren & Mike and will continue using them in the future.”
“Cheridyn and Gil were phenomenal. Great communication and they looked after our little puppy like she was one of her own. I can’t recommend them enough. Thank you for taking care of our little Millie.”
“Avery is an excellent dog sitter! Recommend him to anyone that is looking for a sitter. Avery keeps you updated on any issues and uploads a lot of pics so that you know your pet is safe! Will book with him in the future!”
“My dog Badger had an amazing time! Ishwori and her husband were so loving, caring and patient with him. I received constant updates and pictures. I can truly tell when picking him up that he enjoyed himself and was still giving dog kisses as we were leaving. I will definitely be using their services again if they are willing! Thank you so much for your care and time.”
“Lexie was well understood and well cared for. I couldn’t have asked for more! Our dog is a tricky one with senior issues but Trisha and her family knew just how to address her difficulties and make her happy and comfortable. She fit right in with their family! I’m very grateful to Trish and I highly recommend her.”
“Zhao and her family took good care of Socrates. I chose them because their house is similar size like mine and my cat prefers bigger space. I was given frequent update of my Socrates with pictures and videos.”
“Shauna took great care of my baby! I think my dog thought I paid to send her to camp! She had a great time and had some new experiences meeting her horse, goat and chickens… and the great chicken race! Scarlett says thanks for the cuddles and making her feel like she was at home! We’ll be booking Shauna again!”
“Allison has watched our dog Buddy twice now and both times have been amazing. She is super easy to communicate with and is very accommodating. She even went out of her way to replace Buddy’s toy that he chewed to shreds while he was there. Overall, one of the best experiences we’ve had on Rover so far. Highly recommend!”
“Joel send me photos and daily updates of my dog . He is very good in communicating. I am very happy with the way he treated my dog. I am very pleased and will be coming back and highly recommend him.”
“Our 18 month old black lab had the best time with Peter and Sara. He is a quarantine puppy, so we were nervous about his first night away. He came home happy and exhausted. Always great to have a place to leave your fur babies!”
