“Madison and Moses were fantastic watching our dog. He comes with a few behavioral challenges and they were up to the task. They have the expertise and patients to ensure he had a good experience, while balancing safety for all the animals in their case. They even had some helpful advice for us to work with Barney. We will definitely use them again!”
“Terri is a true animal lover. She cared for my dog Lucy over the weekend. She took Lucy for plenty of walks and even took her to the lake a couple times. Baked her some dog treats and even sent her home with a batch. Plenty of pictures. We are very pleased.”
“Charles was awesome! He took great care of my two dogs. One of my dogs is anxious with new people, but he definitely knows what he’s doing and quickly earned her (and my) trust. He was very easy to work with and my dogs had a great time. I will definitely come back to him next time! Highly recommend!”
“Linda was the absolute best! A loving, gentle, and thoughtful person from beginning to end. She was very caring and attentive to my dog, and I could tell my dog mutually enjoyed spending time with Linda. I would recommend her to anyone looking to board their dog; they’ll be in good hands. Thank you Linda!”
“What a great family. I took Jackson there for the first time, and he was so loved by everyone. I truly appreciate it when a sitter sends videos and updates and this family made sure they did. I will definitely be rebooking with this family time and time again.”
“We’ve had our dog stay with Berenice 2 times and I just wanted to say again how great it has been. My dog must feel like he’s on vacation. She takes great care of our baby and he comes home happy!”
“Mark and Christina were absolutely wonderful! They took amazing care of my dogs and went above and beyond when my flight got delayed. They were kind, understanding, and incredibly accommodating — I never once worried about my pups while they were with them. It’s clear they genuinely love animals and treat them like their own. I couldn’t recommend them more — truly the kind of people you hope to find when you need someone trustworthy and compassionate to watch your pets.”
“Mark and his son were really awesome with our dog, Thor. We booked a 10 day stay, and Mark provided consistent updates on how Thor was doing. They walked him regularly and played with him often, and they have a great home with a back yard Thor could enjoy. I felt comfortable and confident leaving my fur baby with them!”
“A great experience all around. Our girl Maya stayed with Ami and her family for three nights. Ami was very communicative and sent updates with pictures every day, which I really appreciated. Once we picked her up, Maya was content and ready for a nap. Oh and Ami's dog Coco is a sweetheart 💖 The first day she greeted Maya with lots of waggy tails and friendly sniffs. If you're looking to board your dog, I highly recommend Ami and her family. They made us feel very comfortable, starting with the meet and greet and through Maya's stay.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! My dogs were genuinely happy and comfortable the entire time they were there. I received regular updates, photos, and great communication everything you could hope for when leaving your pets in someone else’s care. It gave me total peace of mind, and I’m so grateful. Highly recommend!”
“I needed a sitter at the last minute at Ashley did an amazing job of communicating and being flexible and understanding when plans changed or issues arose that needed to to be addressed. She made me feel comfortable and always prioritized my pet's health and safety. I'm so thrilled I found her and will definitely be a return customer the nex time I'm in need of petcare. Do not hesitate to request her services!”
“Charlie was awesome and very thorough with the entire process as is was my first time using rover. My dog Shai was instantly comfortable with him and came back a happy pup! He sent pictures and updates letting me know how everything was going each day. I will definitely be using Charlie again thank you so much!”
“I would highly recommend Gwendolyn and her family. Coco has stayed with them a couple of times and we could not have been happier. Gwendolyn kept us regularly updated on how Coco was and what they were getting up to. Coco came home a very happy dog!”
“Savanah was so caring to our 16 year old dog, Zulu. Unfortunately, our senior dog requires extra attention due to his dementia and separation anxiety. Savanah showed compassion and made every effort to care for Zulu and make him feel comfortable. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Thank you, Savanah for everything! We really appreciate it.”
“Erica was professional and detailed with me and very affectionate towards my dog. She was flexible with my timeframes and assisted in all ways she could. From the pictures I could tell my dog had a great time with her! We would recommend Erica to anyone looking for a warm and caring local dog sitter.”
“Cristina was amazing with our boys! Very responsive, sent lots of pictures, and spoiled them all week! Will absolutely be using Cristina again in the future! Highly recommend!”
“A Christmas gift arrived early when Dustin’s family and home boarding became available to book for the holiday! Their family accommodated an immediate introduction at their home and provided a wonderful place for 7 days! Lots of attention, pics, updates and they asked all the questions to be sure my dog’s diet, sleeping, hygiene or other habits were attended to! I couldn’t be more pleased and was totally confident my dog was happy while we enjoyed our vacation!”

“Maureen came to my place when I had to be away for an overnight trip. She took AMAZING care of my kitty Edmund by making sure he took his meds. She came armed with cat treats and a pill popper. I love how prepared she came. She is an experienced animal sitter and I will definitely book her again.”
“Kaitlyn did an excellent job pet sitting for my cat Cazzy. This is the second time I have used Kaitlyn and highly recommend her. She followed my directions and did a wonderful job checking on my cat for 2 weeks. Thank you, Kaitlyn!”
“Ashley is AWESOME. We’ve trusted her with our kitties a few times. One of our cats is diabetic and requires insulin shots - Ashley is so knowledgeable, and we feel so comfortable leaving our kitties in her care. We’re so fortunate to have her support.”
“We have used Martha for both dog walking and drop in visits for our cats. She did a great job with both! I appreciate her thorough updates and numerous pictures she sends of our babies!”
“Jordan was amazing! Our cat was clearly very well attended to, and it showed. Never before have we gone on a trip and NOT been violently accosted upon entering our home. Ginger is usually not satisfied until she has drawn my blood, and she is instead purring and headbutting me lovingly. Only affection from this fuzzy demon, which means she was well looked after.”
“Sahba is great! She really cares for my cats and makes an effort to pet and play with my shy cat who’s always hiding, first person ever to actually try! She’s very sweet with them and gives them real quality time and love. I would not trust my cats to anyone else!”
About: I can understand cats a lot. They are very independent animals who like their own space and I’ve always respected that.. they approach me a lot because they are very comfortable with me because of my understanding of them so we make really good friends.
About: I’ve grown up with cats my entire life and currently have two of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone patient, attentive, and trustworthy caring for them. I’m comfortable with different cat personalities, from social and playful to shy and independent, and I always make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away. Because I truly love animals, I pay close attention to each pet’s unique habits, comfort levels, and routines.
“Shelby and Dalton took care of our 2 very shy, very aloof semi-feral cats. They followed the routine we had set up for them, and provided daily feedback and pictures! We would not hesitate to recommend them to others, or to have them back to cat-sit again.”
About: I treat every cat like the refined little royalty they are. I’m gentle, patient, and truly love cats. I take time to understand their personalities, whether playful or shy. I’m also happy to handle litter cleaning, meds, and all the small details that keep your cat healthy and happy.
“CJ did a great job with the cats while I was gone for 10 days. He was able to come twice a day and hang out with them and give them the attention they needed. He updated me on everything and was easy to communicate with. He also shared great pictures from each visit! I came home to two happy cats.”
“Annalisa was great with my sweet Little Kitty! I was able to book on short notice and Annalisa offered to meet beforehand which I thought was nice (especially since I didn’t have to bring it up!) When we met she was very thorough with what was needed and ran everything back to me so I knew she understood (again, she did this all on her own). My Kitty is normally very shy when others watch her but she was super comfortable with Annalisa. I will definitely be using her again for my cat sitting needs!”
“Lindsey was wonderful with our two cats. She went above and beyond, helping with an unexpected package delivery. One of our cats is very shy and he warmed up to Lindsey which was great knowing he was not hiding the whole time we were gone. We will definitely use Lindsey again!”

“Madison & Moses are awesome! So easy to communicate with and both have a great, calm energy that was perfect for helping my shy, anxious, rescue pittie feel right at home. It’s clear they’re both well-versed in dog behavior and I appreciate that they met my dog right where she was at. They had no issues giving her the time, space and patience needed to open up in her own time - it made all the difference. Thankful to have found them!”
About: Growing up I have always had dogs on the property and consider them part of the family. I believe a well trained dog is loved by its owner. I am an animal lover who want to help those who have a hard time with placement. I enjoy spending time with other people's pets because I am unable to have one for myself at this time. I am currently retired so I have time to spend with them daily. I can take them to parks, beach, lakes, etc. Depends on breed and how active they are. I have aquariums, reptiles and my extended family has dogs that I am frequently around. I have had exotic, elderly, injured and sick pets in my care. I foster for the Humane Society periodically and adjust my home according to the pets needs.
About: I’m patient, dependable, and truly care about each pet’s happiness. I’m experienced with both energetic puppies and senior pets who need extra care and comfort. Pet care is something I love to make time for. I’m flexible and happy to work around your schedule so your pets are always cared for when you need. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a front yard and a fenced backyard where pets can explore safely under supervision. My senior cat is very laid-back, so your pet can enjoy a calm, friendly atmosphere while in my care.
“I can tell our pup Mochi had a great time with Christina and her fiance, They took him out on a few walks, and gave him lots of attention! Great communication and sent us lots of pictures!”
“Mark, Christina, and Cody! Thank you for taking such good care of our babies. They love you so much. You're just beautiful people. I left them with you with absolutely no worries. Thank you for the daily updates and the cutest pictures! I can't say enough wonderful things about y'all. Our babies were in loving, caring hands always. I highly recommend you. And I know Sage and Noir would love to see you again!”
“Berenice is amazing! She took great care of my pup and I am so grateful to her! He enjoyed spending time at her house with other doggies and her kids. She sent me photos and the report. She also got me a really nice card with his paw for Mother's Day! What a great thought! She just went above and beyond. I would recommend her for sure and will be using her services again in the future when in town.”
“Shanna was awesome! She quickly responded to my messages and was able to accommodate my last minute request for day care. She sent photos during his stay and every night he returned exhausted and happy! Will definitely use again if I return to the San Diego area!”

“Justine is great 👍. Hoppy doesn't always like to walk when it's warm outside so she will play with her in the house. She's very attentive to Hoppy's needs. We are sad that she moved out of Long Beach, she will be missed.”
“My family and I highly recommend Alexis and Adam as dog walkers! They walked my two German Shepherd mixes early in the morning for 16 consecutive days for an hour each while we were on vacation. Always on time, always submitting report cards with photos and the route they walked. On top of that, my dogs, who are rescues with shyness or aggression toward strangers AND severe dog reactivity on walks, LOVED Lex and Adam! As a professional dog trainer and walker myself, I’m extremely careful with people who interact with my dogs, and Lex and Adam exceeded my expectations! It’s clear to me that they take caring for their clients’ dogs seriously and both are extremely nice and personable. Thank you Lex and Adam!!”

They have the expertise and patients to ensure he had a good experience, while balancing safety for all the animals in their case. They even had some helpful advice for us to work with Barney. We will definitely use them again!”
“Terri is a true animal lover. She cared for my dog Lucy over the weekend. She took Lucy for plenty of walks and even took her to the lake a couple times. Baked her some dog treats and even sent her home with a batch. Plenty of pictures. We are very pleased.”
“Charles was awesome! He took great care of my two dogs. One of my dogs is anxious with new people, but he definitely knows what he’s doing and quickly earned her (and my) trust. He was very easy to work with and my dogs had a great time. I will definitely come back to him next time! Highly recommend!”
“What a great family. I took Jackson there for the first time, and he was so loved by everyone. I truly appreciate it when a sitter sends videos and updates and this family made sure they did. I will definitely be rebooking with this family time and time again.”
“Mark and Christina were absolutely wonderful! They took amazing care of my dogs and went above and beyond when my flight got delayed. They were kind, understanding, and incredibly accommodating — I never once worried about my pups while they were with them. It’s clear they genuinely love animals and treat them like their own. I couldn’t recommend them more — truly the kind of people you hope to find when you need someone trustworthy and compassionate to watch your pets.”
“Mark and his son were really awesome with our dog, Thor. We booked a 10 day stay, and Mark provided consistent updates on how Thor was doing. They walked him regularly and played with him often, and they have a great home with a back yard Thor could enjoy. I felt comfortable and confident leaving my fur baby with them!”
“A great experience all around. Our girl Maya stayed with Ami and her family for three nights. Ami was very communicative and sent updates with pictures every day, which I really appreciated. Once we picked her up, Maya was content and ready for a nap. Oh and Ami's dog Coco is a sweetheart 💖 The first day she greeted Maya with lots of waggy tails and friendly sniffs. If you're looking to board your dog, I highly recommend Ami and her family. They made us feel very comfortable, starting with the meet and greet and through Maya's stay.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! My dogs were genuinely happy and comfortable the entire time they were there. I received regular updates, photos, and great communication everything you could hope for when leaving your pets in someone else’s care. It gave me total peace of mind, and I’m so grateful. Highly recommend!”
“I needed a sitter at the last minute at Ashley did an amazing job of communicating and being flexible and understanding when plans changed or issues arose that needed to to be addressed. She made me feel comfortable and always prioritized my pet's health and safety. I'm so thrilled I found her and will definitely be a return customer the nex time I'm in need of petcare. Do not hesitate to request her services!”
“Charlie was awesome and very thorough with the entire process as is was my first time using rover. My dog Shai was instantly comfortable with him and came back a happy pup! He sent pictures and updates letting me know how everything was going each day. I will definitely be using Charlie again thank you so much!”
“Savanah was so caring to our 16 year old dog, Zulu. Unfortunately, our senior dog requires extra attention due to his dementia and separation anxiety. Savanah showed compassion and made every effort to care for Zulu and make him feel comfortable. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Thank you, Savanah for everything! We really appreciate it.”
“Erica was professional and detailed with me and very affectionate towards my dog. She was flexible with my timeframes and assisted in all ways she could. From the pictures I could tell my dog had a great time with her! We would recommend Erica to anyone looking for a warm and caring local dog sitter.”
“Rippley and Biscuit loved Kaitlin and Verle! I was so happy to see how relaxed my reactive and senior puppers were at a new location. The pictures they sent me of the dogs in full potato mode assured me that they felt right at home.”
“Kristen was amazing! My pup was super happy she was great with communication and flexibility and I loved getting photos of my dog. He was super happy during this three day stay!”
“Taylor and Andrew spoiled Rafi! They gave her extra treats, made sure she ate, gave her run of their home and yard, took her for walks, and gave her affection. They were good about providing updates and sent photos. Rafi was with them for 2 wks., and when I picked her up I witnessed her seek attention and affection from them, she interacted well with their dogs, and had no initial interest in my return. I recommend them and will definitely use them again. I couldn’t be more pleased. Thank you!”
“Trent and his wife were the best caretakers of my little Benny. They took him for plenty of walks, played with him, and overall made him feel comfortable while in their care. I highly recommend them!”
“Scooby had an amazing time with Erika and her dog, Scrappy! They went on many adventures in the neighborhood and sunbathed in the yard. Scooby felt instantly comfortable with Erika and gave her kisses soon into her stay. Erika was very flexible with our schedule changes and we really appreciate it. I will use Erika in the future and would recommend her to friends!”
“Isabelle was great! This was my dog’s first sitter experience so I was a bit worried about how she would react, but I was glad to see that she was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of! I also appreciated Isabelle sending updates and pictures of my dog while we were away. I’ll be using Isabelle’s services again, and I highly recommend her!”
“Cameron has been sending several videos and photos everyday during Lilo’s 11 days boarding. What a piece of mind! Cameron is very responsive and flexible. When we pick up our girl, she was happy, healthy and clean! Thank you Cameron!”
