“My wife and I booked with Banafshe for a long weekend trip, after our go-to dog sitter was unavailable. We are happy we did. Before the sit, Banafshe was courteous and timely in replying to our handful of messages with questions. She was gracious enough to allow us to bring Huxley over for a quick meetup with her and her lovely family), before the scheduled stay. Banafshe followed up with us the day of to confirm what time we would be dropping Huxley off. Unexpectedly, our pup had a tooth pulled prior to the boarding, and Banafshe was very helpful in ensuring Huxley received his medication (in his food). Throughout the time of the boarding she provided thoughtful updates and photos and was very responsive. She checked in with us to confirm when we would be picking up Huxley and made sure his items we left with her, were in his bag. 10/10. We would trust her and her family with our furbaby again and I highly recommend. 🥰”
“We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Tara! She sent us regular updates, photos, and videos, and made sure to prioritize our dog’s needs. Our dog played a lot with her dog, and with the backyard space available, her place seems to be a perfect space for dogs. We will 100% be hiring Tara again for our dog care needs! She’s a pro 💯”
“After picking up Tanuki, I could tell she had a wonderful time with Sandra and her family. Sandra did a great job making sure Tanuki was comfortable and well taken care of, and sent me updates with pictures daily. It also warms my heart that Mocha and Tanuki became fast friends! Thank you for Tanuki's fun-filled weekend!!”
“Saeedeh took exceptional care of our English Bulldog, Nashville, and we could not be more grateful for her help. We found ourselves needing a sitter on very short notice, and she immediately made herself available without hesitation. This was also our first time boarding Nashville, so naturally we were a bit nervous. Saeedeh went above and beyond to keep us informed and comfortable by sending daily photos and videos, along with regular updates on how he was doing. Her communication, kindness, and genuine care gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Nashville was well cared for and treated like part of the family. We would absolutely book with Saeedeh again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter. Thank you again, Saeedeh, for taking such wonderful care of Nash!”
“Had such a wonderful experience with Claudia, felt as though she looked after slinky as her own pet. The home environment was calm and pet proofed. I highly recommend Claudia for your pet”
“Jocelyn was wonderful! She was great with communication right away. Our pup loved her and her house! She was so good with sending pictures and taking our dog on a walks! We are excited to book with her again!”
“Radhika is amazing to say the least. She is a dog whisperer for sure and also a very thoughtful person. She kept Poppy super safe, healthy and even sent us pics through our trip. We are so grateful we got to meet Radhika. Poppy missed her already!”
“We had such a great experience with Jonathan! Our dog can be a bit nervous around new people, but Jonathan really seemed to know how to make her feel comfortable and at ease. He was quick to respond to our messages and kept us updated with photos and regular check-ins throughout her stay. We felt so reassured that she was in good hands. We'll definitely be booking with Jonathan again in the future! Highly recommend!”
“Annie is amazing! She takes great care of our pup and was super flexible with pickup time when we got trapped in traffic traveling back from Mammoth. So happy to have found someone we can trust to take care of our doggo when we need it! Additionally, her daily updates and pictures are so awesome - made me feel comfortable about our pup being away from us.”
“So Thankful for the fabulous care Rudy received! He is exhausted from all the fun he had with his new friends! I'm so glad I have such a wonderful home where Rudy can go when I am out of town. I only hope they are available in the future! I loved all the pictures of Rudy and his friends! Thanks!”
“Thanks so much for being flexible in scheduling the drop-off and pick-up for our little boy Bentley! He was well cared for, and I appreciate your keeping me updated on his activities with photos and videos. I think he especially liked that someone was always around!”
“I felt completely at ease leaving Maaska for her overnight stay—I truly didn’t have to worry at all because I knew she was in such good hands. I’m so grateful for the care she received. She got to enjoy being in a home with a yard and even play with other dogs, which made the experience extra special. Honestly, it felt like the best sleepover of her life! I would absolutely leave her again and highly recommend her care.”
“This was the first time we left our puppies overbite. Ellie took wonderful care of Mimi just maybe even better than if she was home! I am very confident of Ellie's care for Mimi. Great communications as well! Thank you.”

“Suman took wonderful care of Murphy for 4 days while we were out of town. She kept us updated with pictures and videos and was in constant communication, which gave us great peace of mind. It was such a relief knowing Murphy was in good hands. We would definitely book with her again!”
“We have used Patricia several times and she always provides the best service! She treats our dog, Penelope, like her own and shares lots of updates (photos & videos). Penelope loves her time with Patty and her dog, which leaves us at ease when we travel.”
“Lee is the best! Not only is her home pristine, cozy, and in a lovely safe neighborhood with lots of grass and greenery for pups to roam and sniff, but she has such a warmth about her that shows in her care for our dogs. She is observant of our dogs needs and followed all of our feeding and walking instructions. She is also communicative with any concerns that came up along the way and was great about sending us photos and updates of how our furbabies were doing each day. So happy to have found her and would not hesitate to book with her again!”

“Taylor has taken such great care of my shy rescue kitty! Taylor is incredibly kind, thorough, and patient — so thankful to have such a trustworthy person looking after my pet!”
“My fur babies loved Tracy so much 🥹 One of my cats is usually a little reserved when meeting new people but she warmed up to Tracy the very first time they met. Tracy has a very calm and welcoming presence, I think any shy cat would feel comfortable around her. I wasn’t worried when I was away because Tracy regularly updated me with photos and videos. Will definitely be booking her the next time I need someone to watch my cats.”
“Emma watched my two cats for the first time and she was great. She gave them lots of play time, shared several photos and was very communicative! Definitely would recommend her and look forward to having her care for my cats again!.”
About: Hi! My name is Gayane, and animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I currently share my home with two wonderful rescue cats, and throughout my life I have cared for both cats and dogs of all ages and personalities. Beyond caring for my own pets, I have experience fostering, rehabilitating, and helping homeless and abandoned animals find safe and loving homes. I understand that every pet is unique and deserves patience, kindness, and individual attention. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, playtime, companionship, or simply someone reliable to care for them while you're away, I will treat them with the same love and care I give my own animals. As a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable, safe, and happy. I look forward to meeting you and your pets!
“Rose is absolutely amazing!! She really saved us when we had another sitter quit, mid booking. She is very trustworthy and responsible and great at communicating! We are so happy to have her care for our pets!”
“I have Ailen scheduled for recurring drop-in visits four days a week while I work 12-hour shifts as a nurse, and I couldn’t be happier. She is incredibly communicative, always punctual, and consistently goes above and beyond. I really appreciate how much time and care she gives my dog, and she even takes a moment to say hi to my cats, which means a lot. She is professional, trustworthy, and truly reliable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.”
“My kitty always has so much fun with Seren! She sends me "action shots" of her jumping for the toy and playing, and I feel like I'm there! I always come home to a clean litter box, happy cat, and have peace of mind leaving my baby with her.”
“Eve is wonderful. Shes so respectful of my animals and keeps up such good communication. I have no worries leaving my animals in her care, it makes leaving them so much easier knowing she's caring for them. 100/10”
“We completely trust Kaitlyn to care for our special-needs Ragdoll. She is consistent and detailed about giving our cat his medications, and she gives him extra attention and love, which gives us peace of mind whenever we’re out of town. When we return home, it’s clear that both our cat and our home have been well cared for.”
“Llana is amazing! She has went above and beyond to take care of my precious Labrador puppy when I am away during the day. She gives extra care, attention and always excellent feedback to further his care. Her photos are picture perfect! My puppy loves her and she has helped so much!”
“Mackenna was an amazing sitter, she did a great job watching my cats and made me feel relaxed and comfortable knowing they were in good hands. She communicated well with me and was caring and attentive of my pets. I highly recommend if you are needing a sitter!”
About: Your Cat's New Bestie!!! I’ve been caring for cats for over 20 years and truly understand their unique personalities and needs. I’ve grown up with cats of all ages—from energetic kittens to senior cats who need extra patience and care. I currently care for two cats of my own, so daily routines like feeding, litter box maintenance, playtime, and monitoring behavior are second nature to me. I also have experience administering medication and working with skittish or shy cats, taking the time to build trust at their pace. My goal is always to make your cat feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away—whether that means playtime, quiet companionship, or just keeping their routine consistent. I understand how nerve wracking it can be to leave your sweet fur baby whether that be while you're at work or on a trip. Please rest easy knowing I will give them the best care.
“What a wonderful, thoughtful, and beautiful spirit! I could go on for days about how much I appreciated Nikki. She sent pictures during her visit and sent an update of how everything went during her time at our home. Our girls were able to enjoy their home instead of boarding them at a facility. Nikki came over prior to our vacation to go over things, and afterward provided a synopsis of our conversation here on Rover. We were new to Rover and cautiously optimistic. Nikki put our worries and concerns at ease, and made it easy, seamless, and we couldn’t be happier! Thank you Nikki for your time and help!”
“We had a little emergency and needed someone to board our kitty last-minute. Katie was available and went above and beyond in difficult circumstances. She was loving and kind to our cat, and she provided updates and pictures regularly. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone!”
“Anu checked in on my dog multiple times for a few days. She was so sweet to him and made sure he had everything he needed. Her updates to me were detailed with a lot of great photos that ensured me my dog was in great hands! Will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: One random day a cat fell into my patio, she was scared so I let her in, and also didn't want her to potentially get hurt. I tried to find her owners and checked her for a microchip but nothing. Turns out she was pregnant. I took her in and gave her the best care and her little kittens the best care.
“Michael has a lot of experience with larger dogs. We were kind of worried if our dog will like him but it was love at first sight! He handled him so well. We are so glad to find him!!”

“Jonathan was awesome! Our boy Murph is reactive, gets overaroused easily, steals anything he can get his hands on, and generally not super great with strangers (aka REALLY challenging). Jonathan followed our exact directions when first meeting him and Murph ended up loving him. You can definitely tell he has a lot of experience and patience. When we picked Murph up from daycare he seemed happy and calm, not stressed like he normally is at bigger daycares. He got two long walks and made two friends along the way. We look forward to booking with him again!”

“I left my 4 month old mini doxie pup with Claudia for doggie daycare! It was his first time being dropped off with a stranger for the day so I was a little nervous for her sake and his! Upon arriving I was greeted by Claudia and her incredibly calm and sweet dog! I immediately felt at ease seeing her energy around him (again calm, friendly) and knew he’d okay! Claudia was great at communicating updates about our pup throughout the day and I could tell he was having a great time. I was delighted to bring him back home and have him sleep right away haha, she clearly gave him a full, fun day of attention and activities. Very glad to have found a reliable dog sitter like Claudia and couldn't recommend her more!”
“We LOVE Nick! He is wonderful with our two dogs, they love their Uncle Nick. He is a little out of the way for us but it's worth it. The pups adore him and we can tell he loves them too. Wonderful place to bring our pups, thank you for all you do Nick!”
“Ted had a wonderful time with Sondra and Kirk. They were so easy to communicate with and just the nicest people! 10/10 would recommend. We will definitely be back for future stays.”
“Ashley is a caring and kind sitter who did a wonderful job taking care of our dog Henry. She made sure he was loved and comfortable while at her home. She's responsive and sends photos of your dog so you can feel at ease while you're away. She has two sweetest girls that are amazing with your dog and Henry loved all the attention he received from them.”
“Katie was AMAZING. She is so sweet and my boy had so much fun with her. She sent me multiple pictures and videos throughout the day. She was very responsive. I would def come back to her and recommend her to anyone! ?”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was about 10 years old. Growing up, I had pets of my own and also helped neighbors and friends by watching over their pets whenever they needed. Over the years, this naturally grew into something I truly enjoy and take pride in. Professionally, I’ve worked with the Wag! app for several years, where I built strong, trusted relationships with many pet owners. Because of the care and attention I provide, several owners have personally requested me again to walk or pet-sit their dogs, which means a lot to me. I treat every pet as if they were my own - making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Spending time with animals has always been something I genuinely love, and I’m excited to continue providing reliable, attentive care for your pets. 🐾 Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine and something I truly love doing. I’m currently in between jobs, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate my time and attention to the pets I care for. I regularly provide walks, sittings, and drop-in visits for pet owners through the Wag! platform, so caring for animals is already a big part of my day-to-day life. When I’m not taking care of clients’ pets, I’m spending time with my own senior pup at home, who means the absolute world to me. Caring for a senior dog has taught me so much about patience, attentiveness, and making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved at all times. Because pet care is already built into my routine, I’m able to give each pet the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. Whether it’s going on walks, sticking to feeding schedules, playing, or simply providing companionship, I always aim to create a calm, safe, and loving environment for every pet in my care. For me, this isn’t just something I do occasionally—it’s something that’s genuinely part of my everyday life, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. 🐾 I always strive to create a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care—whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in theirs. I understand that pets are family, so I treat them with the same patience, attention, and kindness that I would give my own. In a client’s home, I make sure to maintain the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. This includes their feeding schedule, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions the owner provides. I’m very respectful of the home and aim to keep everything clean, calm, and stress-free so pets feel secure in their familiar space. I also make sure to give plenty of affection, engagement, and updates so owners can feel at ease while they’re away. If a pet is in my home, I focus on creating a warm and relaxed environment where they feel safe and cared for. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and enrichment while also giving them space to settle in comfortably. I also have years of hands-on experience through the Wag! platform, where I’ve completed many walks and in-home sittings for different pet owners. In addition, I’ve cared for pets for family and friends over the years, which has helped me build a strong understanding of different personalities, energy levels, and care needs. My goal is always to make pets feel happy, safe, and loved while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pet is in good hands. I’m attentive, reliable, and always happy to send updates and photos so you can stay connected with your pet while you’re away.

About: I study Environmental Studies with an emphasis in Animal Behavior and Psychology! Because of this, I feel as though I am a great fit for understanding animals and their needs and being able to handle their needs with care. I myself have a disabled dog, so I am very capable of empathizing with an animal and want to provide your pet with the best quality of care possible! I have a very sociable personality and I would love to play with your pet, take it on walks and outside, or even just have a chill day at home with the animal! I am available to work regularly and as needed, as I have a more flexible schedule. I love to be outside and go on walks, as well as chilling at home so I am very capable of handling various personalities, needs, and ages. I have an enclosed and gated house and a backyard with a pool, and decent space in the interior, and I am willing to do what it takes to make your pet feel at home.

“Jaime was great with Sage. Sage can be nervous first meeting people and Jaime was confident Sage would be taken care of and warm up. She sent several update photos and Sage had a great time. I will definitely hire Jaime again ◡̈”
About: I love dogs . Since I was a child I have grown up with pets... I have a nice home with an outside area and would love to care for your dog .. However, . I prefer dogs who are potty trained, neutered, and for male dogs that don’t urinate or “mark” in my home, but will work with your dogs and care for them as my own. Also please NO DROP OFFS before 7:00 am and NO PICKUPS after 9pm, otherwise, that would require another day's booking. No regular doggy daycare business operates 24/7. If you have an early morning flight or late flight, please accommodate accordingly between my hours of operation : 7:00 am to 9 pm. Please be respectful of peoples times and schedules. I do not run a 24/7 doggy daycare. What you will get from me you won’t get at a commercial doggy daycare is that I don’t watch a ton of dogs! Usually 1-2 dogs max at a time. That way your pup is getting personalized attention. I only do this because this is not my main business and enjoy watching a few pets at a time because I like having dogs around me since my lovely Jack Russell died a few years back of old age and I miss having a pet around. I work from home most days so can watch your dog and give the necessary supervision your pet needs! Thanks and look forward to your reply! I look forward to watching your fur baby! Work remote from home most time during weekdays so can accommodate watching your pet during the day and evenings . Will be around your pet often. Fenced area secured gate- dogs can’t escape plus I keep dogs inside my home and near me so they will be very safe with me.
“Chris is great! Not only was he flexible about our last minute booking, he took the time to better understand our pet and our needs before we arrived. He’s been very tolerant and helpful, offering tips and suggestions about correcting our dog’s “puppy” behavior. We will definitely book with him again!”

“Eve is great! She was on time and handled Cheetos very well. Cheetos is a very fearful and very afraid of strangers. Eve calmed her down and won her trust with some bribery. It's so great to have a perfect dog walker/sitter nearby! Thank you Eve!”

My goal is always to make pets feel happy, safe, and loved while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pet is in good hands. I’m attentive, reliable, and always happy to send updates and photos so you can stay connected with your pet while you’re away.
About: I’ve always grown up with dogs and have enjoyed also looking after my sister’s cats! I’ve dealt with chronic and severe illnesses with my young and senior dogs and nursed them. I also have attended some training sessions with another local dog-walkers and gained some tips and guidance. Since I have just graduated college, I have a lot of free time to look after your dog/cat! I am available daily as I’ve just finished and am looking forward to taking care of them! In your home, I’ll be there for your pet and make sure to take care of them just as you would! I’ll follow your instructions to a tee and make sure to update you regularly so you know your pet is in good hands.
About: I’ve taken care of my friends dogs and cats for 5 years and also have my own cat! I’ve also grown up with them since I was 11 so feel very comfortable providing a safe fun environment for them. Im currently looking for full time work and teaching dance part time. I’d like to add this to my current work which is flexible during the week and overnight if needed. I can work with your home set up. I won’t be able to host pets in my home due to living with my grandfather who has a particular household he’d like to maintain. I have no kids so there’s no problem with having a flexible schedule to come to your home.
About: I study Environmental Studies with an emphasis in Animal Behavior and Psychology! Because of this, I feel as though I am a great fit for understanding animals and their needs and being able to handle their needs with care. I myself have a disabled dog, so I am very capable of empathizing with an animal and want to provide your pet with the best quality of care possible! I have a very sociable personality and I would love to play with your pet, take it on walks and outside, or even just have a chill day at home with the animal! I am available to work regularly and as needed, as I have a more flexible schedule. I love to be outside and go on walks, as well as chilling at home so I am very capable of handling various personalities, needs, and ages. I have an enclosed and gated house and a backyard with a pool, and decent space in the interior, and I am willing to do what it takes to make your pet feel at home. As for me caring for your pet in your home, that will largely be determined by your home and your dogs needs and wants!

About: With over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, I bring a deep understanding, patience, and genuine love to every walk. For the past two years, I’ve been professionally dog walking—and I can confidently say I’ve never loved a job more. Dogs aren’t just part of my work, they’re truly my passion. I have a special place in my heart for pit bull breeds and am a strong advocate for them, but my care and dedication extend to dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pup needs exercise, structure, or just a little extra love, I treat every dog as if they were my own—reliable, attentive, and always with their safety and happiness as my top priority. I currently own my own dog walking business but I am always looking for new fur friends to walk and spend time with! A tired dog is a happy dog! I am happy to walk, refresh water, feed if needed and get your dog out and moving to get any extra energy out! I'm very attentive to the dogs I walk making sure they stay safe in my care.
About: I've been taking care of my dog ever since I was 10 and the routine slideshow presentations finally convinced my parents that I was ready to take care of a puppy. For the past 8 years I've been caring for my dog, Liberty, by bathing her, brushing her, walking her daily, refilling her food and water, giving her a treat every morning, administering her medicine, and training her in basic commands such as "sit", "stay", and "down". I've also loved dogs my whole life (I'm allergic to cats) and have bonded with many over the years. I'm looking to make another dog as happy as I hope my dog is when we leave for vacation and get her a sitter; I'm excited to meet both of you! I'm currently attending UC Berkeley and will be home for the summer so I would be able to drop by and check in on/walk your fur baby any time on the weekdays and weekends. I have experience providing care to for my dog and my friend's dogs/puppies and would love to be able to do so for a client. I'm qualified to come in and feed, bathe, walk, brush, and play with your fur baby/babies. I'm familiar with accommodating for the needs of different pups. If there are any special circumstances, such as medications, I would learn how to administer them correctly.
“This is the second time Chris has walked Bella, and she was so excited to see him that she actually peed when he arrived. It’s obvious she absolutely loves him. Chris is reliable, professional, and clearly has a natural connection with dogs. Bella always comes back happy, and I feel completely comfortable knowing she’s in such good hands.”
“Laura took good care of our Coco while we were away for a week - walked and played with her, gave her food and medicine, also willing to get our mail and kept us up to date. Felt like our girl was in good hands!!”

“My wife and I booked with Banafshe for a long weekend trip, after our go-to dog sitter was unavailable. We are happy we did. Before the sit, Banafshe was courteous and timely in replying to our handful of messages with questions. She was gracious enough to allow us to bring Huxley over for a quick meetup with her and her lovely family), before the scheduled stay. Banafshe followed up with us the day of to confirm what time we would be dropping Huxley off. Unexpectedly, our pup had a tooth pulled prior to the boarding, and Banafshe was very helpful in ensuring Huxley received his medication (in his food). Throughout the time of the boarding she provided thoughtful updates and photos and was very responsive. She checked in with us to confirm when we would be picking up Huxley and made sure his items we left with her, were in his bag. 10/10. We would trust her and her family with our furbaby again and I highly recommend. 🥰”
“Saeedeh took exceptional care of our English Bulldog, Nashville, and we could not be more grateful for her help. We found ourselves needing a sitter on very short notice, and she immediately made herself available without hesitation. This was also our first time boarding Nashville, so naturally we were a bit nervous. Saeedeh went above and beyond to keep us informed and comfortable by sending daily photos and videos, along with regular updates on how he was doing. Her communication, kindness, and genuine care gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Nashville was well cared for and treated like part of the family. We would absolutely book with Saeedeh again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter. Thank you again, Saeedeh, for taking such wonderful care of Nash!”
“Had such a wonderful experience with Claudia, felt as though she looked after slinky as her own pet. The home environment was calm and pet proofed. I highly recommend Claudia for your pet”
“Radhika is amazing to say the least. She is a dog whisperer for sure and also a very thoughtful person. She kept Poppy super safe, healthy and even sent us pics through our trip. We are so grateful we got to meet Radhika. Poppy missed her already!”
“We had such a great experience with Jonathan! Our dog can be a bit nervous around new people, but Jonathan really seemed to know how to make her feel comfortable and at ease. He was quick to respond to our messages and kept us updated with photos and regular check-ins throughout her stay. We felt so reassured that she was in good hands. We'll definitely be booking with Jonathan again in the future! Highly recommend!”
“So Thankful for the fabulous care Rudy received! He is exhausted from all the fun he had with his new friends! I'm so glad I have such a wonderful home where Rudy can go when I am out of town. I only hope they are available in the future! I loved all the pictures of Rudy and his friends! Thanks!”
“I felt completely at ease leaving Maaska for her overnight stay—I truly didn’t have to worry at all because I knew she was in such good hands. I’m so grateful for the care she received. She got to enjoy being in a home with a yard and even play with other dogs, which made the experience extra special. Honestly, it felt like the best sleepover of her life! I would absolutely leave her again and highly recommend her care.”
“This was the first time we left our puppies overbite. Ellie took wonderful care of Mimi just maybe even better than if she was home! I am very confident of Ellie's care for Mimi. Great communications as well! Thank you.”
“Lee is the best! Not only is her home pristine, cozy, and in a lovely safe neighborhood with lots of grass and greenery for pups to roam and sniff, but she has such a warmth about her that shows in her care for our dogs. She is observant of our dogs needs and followed all of our feeding and walking instructions. She is also communicative with any concerns that came up along the way and was great about sending us photos and updates of how our furbabies were doing each day. So happy to have found her and would not hesitate to book with her again!”
“This was my fist time leaving Sierra at someone’s house and also overnight to top it off. I was a little nervous to find someone that made me feel comfortable and also that Sierra felt comfortable with. I appreciated that Sondra and Kirk did a meet and greet with me first. This made me feel much more at ease about leaving Sierra with them. They are both dog lovers and you can tell from the moment you meet them. I definitely recommend leaving your fur babies with them. Thanks S&K!!”
“Hanna was wonderful with my 2 pugs. She was very attentive and provided photos and updates during their stay with her. We will definitely be using her again to care for our little pups!”
“Homeira was absolutely wonderful! She cared for our pup with such sweetness and warmth, capturing the cutest videos. He had the best time at her home, and it was so clear he felt loved and happy. We are truly grateful to have found her. Highly, recommend! Thank you, Homeira!”
“Wen was nothing short of amazing! We got update photos immediately and our pups who have pretty bad separation anxiety looked like they came back from vacation! She’s so on top of everything - medications, safety, play time and updates to us. Thank you so much! We will be using Wen in the future !”
“Lan was amazing! She was quick and responsive and sent so many videos and pictures, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. I always knew my dog was well taken care of and that her schedule was being followed to a T. My dog also absolutely loved her kids. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and feel so lucky to have found her. I will definitely be rebooking!”
“Anu has checked in on my dog multiple times to feed him and take him on walks. She is always very detailed in her updates on how he is doing and he loves her visits! I had a last minute change and needed someone to watch my dog for two nights. She didn’t hesitate to take him into her home and took such great care of him. She sent updates and photos of long walks they went on and how he was getting along. My dog can be very anxious in certain situations, but he was so comfortable with her and at her home! Will definitely be booking again.”
“Priscilla and her family were wonderful with our precious Penny. This was our first time leaving her for such a long time -- while Penny is a sweetheart, she can also be a handful because of her youthful exuberance. Priscilla (along with husband and kids) left us feeling so assured that Penny was thoroughly loved during our time away. Not only did Priscilla give us frequent updates with pics and videos, she also gave us training and enrichment tips with some of the toys they had vetted with their dog Finn beforehand and got to use with Penny while she was there. Their dog is also a sweetheart, and our two pups got along phenomenally which was a delight. Moreso, Penny really bonded with the whole family! During the latter half of our trip, we had a neighbor take care of her, and they drove her up to our building safe and sound =] I'm so much more confident about traveling knowing I can leave my girl in Priscilla's wonderfully capable and caring hands.”
“I was going out of town and needed a sitter at the last minute...this was my Dakota girl's first time away from me, so I was so nervous and anxious! Nick was awesome - not only was he able to accommodate her on short notice, but he is quick to respond and provided me with updates and pictures and I could see how much fun Dakota was having playing with the other pups he had! Thanks again Nick!!”
“Niko had a fantastic stay with Roxy! He had some separation anxiety but Roxy made him feel part of her family and at home right away. Roxy’s patience, affection and understanding of Niko was beyond expectation and I’m SO grateful to have met her to help me occasionally with Niko’s care. I received pictures and feedback of his day and had no issue with communication. Roxy was flexible to my timeline and her place was in pristine condition. A wonderful and interesting person who knows and understands dogs of all breeds. Thank you again for having Niko to enable me to spend time away. Thank you for making him feel right at home 💕”
